The Top 10 ways to Automate Lightroom (Part 1)

[♪upbeat music♪] [ADOBE TV Presents] [♪♪] [The Complete Picture - with Julieanne Kost] [♪♪] Hi and welcome. My name is Julieanne Kost. In this episode of The Complete Picture, we're going to talk all about the ways that we can automate Lightroom and basically make it work for us so that we don't have to continuously do all of those repetitive tasks. So the first thing is know the keyboard shortcuts that you use. Seriously, this will save you so much time. For example, I don't know exactly all the keyboard shortcuts that you use, but I always use the keyboard shortcuts G and E. E goes to Loupe View, G goes back to Grid View. One of the nice things is that even if I'm over in the Develop Module, which I can always get to by tapping the D key, it will take me over there, and tapping the G key will bring me right back to the Library Module. Some of you might want to put the focus on your images, so you're going to know the keyboard shortcut Shift, Tab to hide all of the different panels. Or you might know the keyboard shortcut to tap the L key to dim the lights. Do it again to do lights out, and then perhaps tap the E key to go ahead and go into Loupe View. Again, I don't know which keyboard shortcuts you're going to need, but I have included a list, so if you scroll down underneath this movie, there's a PDF that you can download of all the keyboard shortcuts in Lightroom. That way you can look through and find the ones that make the most sense to your workflow. Tip #2: Know how you're going to import your files and be consistent. Let's go the Import Module. Now, there are many ways that you can import your files. I'm going to go to Expanded View for a minute. I basically have two different ways. Either I'm importing from a card or I've already copied the images from my card to my hard drive and I'm going to import from a location already on a disk. So I've set up two presets so that it makes it so much easier. I don't really have to think about all of the variables. And when you don't have to think about all the variables, that means that you're going to make fewer mistakes. So let's take a look. When I come down here at the bottom where it says Presets and I select Add to Catalog inplace, Lightroom changes all the options so that I'm adding the files. All I need to do is navigate and find the files, and then it knows that I want to add a Metadata preset and some Keywords. If I choose my other preset, the Import From Card to New Photographs, it knows to make a copy of the images, it knows that I also want to add the Metadata and the Keywords, and it knows that I want to place the images in my New Photographs folder. The way that you create the presets is you simply set up all the parameters and then down at the bottom you save the current settings as a new preset. So I highly recommend that for number two you set up all your presets in the import dialog box. Then you don't even need to go to this Expanded View if you don't want to. You can leave it in Compact View. See, here I can do things like simply change just the keywords or how I organize my files. All right. Number 3: Set up your viewing options. Let's tap the G key and go back to the Grid View. If you go into the View menu and you come down to View Options, you get a lot of different options for your Grid View and your Loupe View. By default, we're not actually looking at the expanded views. By default, you'll be looking at the compact cells, and you just don't see a lot of information in here. Now, don't let this confuse you, the published photos. It just happens to be that I'm looking at a folder here, Client A for Published Services. But we can navigate to any folder. I can go, for example, to my Miami folder, and we can go back to the View Options here. So instead of showing the compact cells, go to your expanded cells. And don't show the Tint grid cells with label colors. What that does is if your image has a color label, it'll actually tint the whole cell. Turn that off and include the color label instead. Then because we're looking at the expanded cell area, make sure that you go through all of the different options here and choose the ones that you want. For example, I prefer my expanded cells to show me the file base name separated from the extension. That way it's very easy for me to figure out what type of file it is. I know how large it is, and I also know the pixel dimensions after I've cropped the file. So this is just the information that I find really useful, and it's all held right down here. You can also choose to turn things off like thumbnail badges if you don't want to see them. Again, it's all up to you in the Grid View. We can also go to the Loupe View. And if you want to, you can show information here. There are two different sets of information, basically info 1 and info 2, and you can customize them both uniquely. Then once you're out of the Library View Options, tapping the I key for info will simply cycle you through so that you can see all that information about your files. Tapping the G key goes back to Grid View where you can see everything with the expanded cells. Okay. Number 4: Presets. I just can't tell you how important presets are here in the Library Module. For example, on Import you'll notice that I set up a Metadata preset, the Metadata preset that would add everything to my image such as my address, my contact information, my URL, my copyright information, all of those things. You can add them on Import, and you can also add additional options here in the Metadata area. In addition, there are presets for doing things like batch renaming. So any time you have to do the same thing over and over again, you definitely want to create a preset. Here we can go to Rename Photo, I can select Edit, and I can create my own renaming sequence. I've actually got one here. You can see I put in my name with an underscore, then the year-- and you'll notice that I didn't type in the year; it's actually going to pull the year from the EXIF data from the camera-- and then add a sequence number. You can create as many of these as you want. You might want to create one for batch renaming your files in Lightroom and then maybe another one so that when you export your files you can use a different file naming convention, like if you're exporting as JPG files, you might want to put LR after it to show that those are low res files or 8 bit or something that would help you to know just from looking at the file name the contents of that file. So I strongly recommend that you create all of the different file naming templates that you need. Another way that you can create templates is for filters. Let's go and look at the entire catalog or all of our photos. You'll notice that I can quickly use these saved presets. Often, when I'm working with my entire image catalog at home, I want to do a quick search for all of my textures that are metallic. So now instead of having to go up here to Keywords and type in Metal Texture, all I need to do is select it from the list. You can see here I've got one for clouds, I've got another one for textured water, and if we scroll up a little higher, I've got kind of a more complicated one. This one has to do with 2 Star Infra Red. So not only is it looking for the camera that I photographed with, but it's also making sure that it has at least a 2 Star attribute. So if you find yourself looking for files over and over again using the same search criteria, definitely save those as a preset. And of course you do that just right down here at the bottom. You'll notice I've even got one for Cody because I like to look at him. Double click on him, zoom in, and then give him a little pat on the nose. Okay. Going back to Grid View. What else can we set presets for? Well, you can set presets for keywords. Let's say you're always keywording the same type of images with the same keywords. Here under Metadata you can go to your Keyword Set and you can edit these sets of nine keywords. Once you've set these up, you can go ahead and save them, and then you'll notice that underneath the Keywording area right down here in the Keyword Set, those nine keywords will automatically fill in. Of course you can change back and forth between them by simply selecting them from the list. So any time you can make a preset, I would strongly recommend it. Why do the same thing over and over again when Lightroom will take care of it for you? All right. Excellent. The fifth way to automate and make Lightroom work for you would be to create virtual copies and virtual collections. You can see down here that I have tons of collections, collections and collections of photographs. It makes it really easy for me to find the images that I'm looking for. But most people just kind of make collections, like you could make a portfolio collection, maybe the digital illustrations you want to use in a slideshow or maybe some motion blur images. But they can also serve as workhorses. So look at this collection right up here. This collection is a smart collection, so it's based on filtering criteria. And basically, if we double click on it, it will edit the smart collection, and you can see what I'm looking for is a capture date in the last 90 days that has 2 stars or greater. So I'm just looking for the best images that I've taken recently. Or what about this one? This is another smart collection, and all it's looking for are any files where the copyright status is unknown. If the copyright status is unknown, it means that I've somehow forgotten to add my copyright to the image. Here I've got another one, my keyword "To Do." Here I'm just looking for the Keyword area that's empty. So now I know all of these images are missing keywords and I should go in and actually keyword them. So I don't think of smart collections and collections as just places to put files, I also think of them as places that will remind me to do things to images. And if I come over here to this collection right here, the other thing I mention because they're kind of grouped together because collections are virtual--that's the huge advantage of them, right? I mean, I can have files from all sorts of different folders up here. They could be images from 2008, and they could be images from 2009. I don't have to move those images around physically on my hard drive. I can add them to as many collections as I want. So those are virtual collections. Well, likewise, I can have virtual copies. Keyboard shortcut, just Command or Control apostrophe will make a virtual copy. So I still only have one original on disk, but I've got Lightroom displaying another copy. So if I tap something like the V key for black and white, now I have one thumbnail that represents the color image and one thumbnail that represents the black and white conversion or the black and white set of instructions that have been applied to that. So virtual collections, virtual copies, why not? I mean, you don't want to be duplicating your files all over the place. Just let Lightroom handle that for you. Excellent. We are out of time. I will continue with the next five ways to make Lightroom automate your workflow in the next episode.

Second ingredient is a named meat product
Inadequate meat content, mixed quality ingredients, fat of unidentifiable origin, controversial filler
The second ingredient is a named meat product, in meal form. This gives us very little confidence in the meat content of the product. There is a further meat meal ingredient 9th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down to make any significant contribution to the meat content of the food. This is a fish meal ingredient, but We find no guarantee on the manufacturers website that protein sources are ethoxyquin-free (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish destined for meal, and is believed to be carcinogenic).
The grains are of mixed quality. Rice is decent quality grain (and the main ingredient in the food), but rice bran is a grain fragment we consider primarily filler. Wheat is one of the most common sources of allergy problems in dog food, and in flour form (in dog food, commonly a byproduct of human food production) is a grain fragment. Corn is a difficult to digest grain also commonly associated with allergy problems. Corn Gluten Meal is the dried residue from corn after the removal of the larger part of the starch and germ, and the separation of the bran by the process employed in wet milling manufacture or by enzymatic treatment of the endosperm. In plain English, that bit of the grain leftover after most of the nutritious bits have been removed.
Poultry fat is a further low quality ingredient rarely found in anything but very low quality foods. Poultry fat is an ingredient of unidentified origin for which it is impossible to determine source or quality. Unidentified ingredients are usually very low quality. AAFCO define this as obtained from the tissues of poultry in the commercial processes of rendering or extracting. It consists predominantly of glyceride esters of fatty acids and contains no additions of free fatty acids. If an antioxidant is used, the common name or names must be indicated, followed by the words "used as a preservative".
Beet pulp is controversial filler which appears to be used in large quantities in this food. It is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required. We would prefer to see the use of whole eggs rather than egg product in the food.
We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.

Magnificent Monday - it is magnificent to make a plan and take action now.
Each Magnificent Monday throughout the month of November will be dedicated to the idea of getting TAN -Take Action Now. On October 20, 2012, I was privileged to attend PowerUp Weekend as a social media ambassador. It was a life changing experience. I wrote about the experience in blog article on Starting the Day Planning to Be Successful. One of the great lessons from the conference came at the end of the day when speaker Jim Smith asked which of us was ready to get a TAN. TAN means, Take Action Now. We all have things we want to accomplish, goals we would like to reach and journeys we would like to make. There is one thing stopping us, a refusal to TAN, take action now.

So, throughout the month of November, each Magnificent Monday will be about TAN. Today will will start with the idea of why you need to TAN now. Future weeks will deal with:
* using Mindmaps to TAN
* using Vision Boards to TAN
* using Accountability groups to TAN
I have never met a person without a dream. Of course we do not all share the same dream, but everyone has a dream. The world is divided into people who TAN and reach their dreams and those who refuse to TAN and don't reach their dreams. If you are a person who does not take action and does not move towards a dream, a goal, a plan, then you have no justification to complain about the action and results of a person who does TAN. Let's look at the following example. People who are basketball fans often talk about the poor foul shot percentage Shaquille O'Neal. I think that only 50% of his foul shot attempts were good. I cannot complain about his percentage, because he TANned. He took action and played in the NBA and thus was around to make foul shots in the NBA. I did not take action towards playing in the NBA so the number of foul shots I have made in NBA games is zero.
Here is a riddle to help explain why you need to TAN: There are five birds sitting on a telephone wire when half of them decide to fly off to Florida. So, how many birds are left on the telephone wire. The answer is five. Why, because deciding to do something is not the same as Taking Action Now and actually doing something.
You must Take Action Now because sitting on your butt will not get done the things that need doing. For those of you who have been planning to go back to college for the past few years. How has the planning and sitting on your butt thing been working out for you? If you are sitting on the couch planning and not Taking Action Now, you will still be planning to go back to college two years from now. If you are serious about actually going back to college rather than just thinking about going back to college then you must Take Action Now. You must get up, get a college application package and look at the requirements for admission. Then start Taking Action Now to meet those requirements for admission. So what it is hard. So what it will take a long time. Time will pass whether you are Taking Action Now or sitting and thinking and planning to take action one day. The difference is if you TAN, you will be closer to reaching your goals.
You must Take Action Now because you should be the driver of your life's train. When you sit back and let happen whatever will happen, you are in the passenger seat of your life. In life, just like in a car, the passenger has very little impact on the road traveled. When you don't Take Action Now, you are sitting down and when you should be standing and walking. When you sit back and just let life happen rather than Taking Action Now, you are like a person who brings a knife to a gun fight. You are ill prepared and out of place. It is incumbent upon you to show up like a grown up and Take Action Now. So, the question for you this Magnificent Monday is what are you going to apply some TAN (Take Action Now) to today?

Defendant set up more than 70 bogus Facebook accounts and impersonated online advertising companies (including by sending Facebook falsified bank records) to obtain an advertising credit line from Facebook. He ran more than $340,000 worth of ads for which he never paid. Facebook sued, among other things, for breach of contract, fraud, and violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA). Despite the court giving defendant several opportunities to be heard, defendant failed to answer the claims and the court entered a default.
The court found that Facebook had successfully pled a CFAA claim. After Facebook implemented technological measures to block defendant's access, and after it sent him two cease-and-desist letters, defendant continued to intentionally access Facebook's "computers and servers to obtain account credentials, Facebook credit lines, Facebook ads, and other information." The court entered an injunction against defendant accessing or using any Facebook website or service in the future, and set the matter over for Facebook to prove up its $340,000 in damages. It also notified the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Air Medical Group subsidiary EagleMed has announced a new safety achievement and expansion plans, as the Wichita, Kan.-based company has reached Level 2 of FAA's voluntary safety management system (SMS) program. The air medical transport provider will also be providing management for Alaska Regional Hospital's EMS program.
FAA implemented its SMS program in 2010 in an effort to work with operators to improve their safety policies, procedures and practices. By reaching Level 2, EagleMed will now begin working with the agency to improve its existing safety risk management process.
On July 15, EagleMed assumed management of Alaska Regional Hospital's fixed-wing medevac service, providing pilots for their fixed-wing King Air B200. Alaska Regional is currently the only non-military hospital where fixed-wing aircraft are able to taxi right up to the hospital doors. By adding Alaska Regional, EagleMed now operates out of 28 different locations across 10 states, with a mixed fleet of Eurocopter helicopters and Beechcraft fixed-wing aircraft.

I once heard my pastor (who also happens to be my uncle) quote another minister to the effect of, "The preacher's job is to reach up and take it down from the top shelf, and put it in people's hands." The preacher, in other words, must not only have a certain level of expertise in his subject matter, but also the ability to translate it into a usable form for people whose expertise is in some other area. When I worked in museums, I used to see my job in pretty much the same way. The public historian's job is to take it down from the top shelf and put it in people's hands.
There's an unfortunate tendency in academia to look down on public historians, as if curators, park rangers, and their colleagues at museums and other institutions are engaged in a less demanding enterprise than those who earn a paycheck from teaching and publishing. But in many ways, the demands placed on the public historian are greater. The public historian, like his academic counterpart, must be able to conduct original research and make sense of the relevant secondary literature—to reach the top shelf. But his success will also depend on his ability to get that stuff down from the top shelf and into the public's hands. That's what distinguishes the public historian from the ivory tower historian.
A few days ago, however, it occurred to me that although I'm not in the museum field anymore, my job still consists of taking things down from the top shelf. I make a living by teaching college survey courses. My audience isn't composed of colleagues or apprentices; it's made up of individuals from a variety of backgrounds, each with different levels of interest and differing aptitudes when it comes to the study of the past. I've therefore decided that teaching a college survey course is essentially an exercise in public history.

for Sunday, October 4, 2015
The teaching of the Catholic Church at present is very clear and direct. In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it states: The matrimonial covenant, by which a man and a woman establish between themselves a partnership of the whole of life, is by its nature ordered toward the good of the spouses and the procreation and education of offspring; this covenant between baptized persons has been raised by Christ the Lord to the dignity of a sacrament.
This understanding of marriage, of the Sacrament of Matrimony, now goes again the laws of the United States and of many countries, but is completely in accord with the laws of many other countries. This view of marriage is the one supported by the Scriptures—there is no doubt about that. There is no mention at all in the Scriptures of any other way of thinking of marriage. So let us reflect on what our readings today tell us.
The first reading is from the Book of Genesis and gives an account of the creation of woman. We all should know that there are two accounts in Scripture of the creation of woman. This one, in which the woman is taken from man, and the other one in which both are created equally in the image and likeness of God. In both cases, the two are complementary to one another and come together to form a union in the presence of the Lord who created them.
The Gospel of Mark today deals with the problem of divorce. Just as in the past, Moises allowed for divorce, there are some today who would also allow for divorce. This is a difficult challenge, especially in the light of the words of Jesus in the Gospel today.
These two readings, one from Genesis and one from the Gospel of Mark, put before us an ideal of marriage which has been taken for granted for centuries but which is always challenged at the level of practical experience. What are we to do about those who have divorced? What are we to do about those with same-sex attraction. The first question has been there through all of the centuries since the time of Christ. The second question became a strong focus more in our own time. Both are questions which challenge the Christian community.
Perhaps in the past both of these groups were shunned by Church members in some sort of righteous indignation and in a way that rarely reflected any Christian love. Today, many would want us to give an answer which would make each of these groups feel better about themselves. What seems to be needed, however, is for Christians to live the ideal, not preach about it and not condemn others who either cannot or will not work towards the ideal.
The basic call to follow Christ comes to others best by attraction. You and I can begin to follow the Lord in such a way that others are attracted to follow Him. So we need not spend time so much speaking about the ideal or in speaking about others who may not seek to live the idea. Rather, let us live in the Lord and radiate His love and in that way draw others to the Lord.
Reflections are available for the following Sundays:

Tetsuya Matsumoto : The idea behind this design came as an answer to the two client's requests which are to display more than 3000 leather items in the showroom and to give the visitor the impression of the variety of products when visiting. The design uses 83 small cuboid units of 1.5x1.5x2 m3 similar to the ones used in the factory next door, as the client visits the factory as well. There are four types of units, each with a specific function, to better display the different kinds of products. These units are combined to each other randomly like a jungle gym and offer the visitor an experience similar to exploring a maze while browsing the exhibited items. The outside of the building is thought as a box containing the jungle gym, like an ark, expressing the wish of the customer that leather that was probably the first material man wore, will be saved and transmitted to the future generations. We were inspired by Japanese traditional art of paper folding "Origami" to make this ark; the shape was also influenced by the high speed "Shinkansen" train tracks, which are separated from the site by a narrow road of 4 meters. This resulted in a horizontal sharp angled shape which gives the shinkansen passengers a thrilling experience of an arrow, or a spaceship passing by in front of them. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : The main focus was to find a way of exhibiting 3000 leather items and still giving the client the feeling and the chance to understand the variety of the products. It was important that all the products would be visible at a single glance. But 3000 items needs usually 3 levels in such a narrow building area, which would not achieve the wanted effect. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : The design of the building, from beginning to the delivery of the detailed construction drawing took 6 months. .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : This design was commissioned by the owner of Sansho Leather Company, who asked us to design a showroom with particular requests. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : This architectural design has been built for the Sansho Leather Company's use. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : We are specialized in commercial architectural/interior design. .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : This showroom will be used to display the leather products of Sansho Leather Company. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : The concept of displaying products in a three dimensional maze makes the showroom look no more like a boring, business oriented, product displaying and brings more dynamics and fun to the process. .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : Origami Ark is a name that we thought fits the way this building is. First, ark is born from the client's hope that this building will, like Noah's Ark, will save the Leather industry. The leather probably the first material to be wore by man, is most likely to be widely still used in the future. Also the maze inside this building makes it look like one big object that the ark is transporting. Origami came from the Japanese traditional art of folding paper, the shape of the building looks like an origami: an origami ark. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : We usually use sketches followed with 3D modeling and CAD drawings, the processes is not perfectly linear, but more likely parallel. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : The way of displaying products. The exterior sharp angled shape. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : The challenge was purely spatial; the space of display is narrow and can't fit the client's demand in a traditional way, so we had to think about an original way of displaying. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Tetsuya Matsumoto : We already have won several international awards; including the previous edition of A Design Awards. .

Trollope, Anthony
Anthony Trollope (trŏl´əp), 1815–82, one of the great English novelists. After spending seven unhappy years in London as a clerk in the general post office, he transferred (1841) to Ireland and became post-office inspector; he held various positions in the postal service until his resignation in 1867. He published several unsuccessful novels before he achieved fame with The Warden (1855), the first in the series of Barsetshire novels. Others in the series are Barchester Towers (1857), Doctor Thorne (1858), Framley Parsonage (1861), The Small House at Allington (1864), and The Last Chronicle of Barset (1867). In his later fiction, most of them the so-called Palliser novels, Trollope shifted his interest from the rural scene to urban society and politics. These books include The Claverings (1867), Phineas Finn (1869), He Knew He Was Right (1869), The Eustace Diamonds (1873), The Way We Live Now (1875), The Prime Minister (1876), and The American Senator (1877). His extensive journeys, many in the service of the post office, resulted in travel books, including an account of his visit to the United States. He was an industrious and prolific author, and besides his 47 novels, numerous volumes of stories, and many travel books, he wrote various works of reportage, several biographies, and a highly praised autobiography (1883). According to Henry James, Trollope's greatness lies in his
"complete appreciation of the usual."
The Barsetshire novels, upon which his fame rests, depict in detail the lives of a group of ordinary but interesting people who live in that fictional English county. The series as a whole presents a fascinating microcosm of Victorian society.
Trollope's mother, Frances Milton Fanny Trollope, 1780–1863, was also a writer. Her acerbic account of her travels in the United States, The Domestic Manners of the Americans (1832), was offensive to Americans but was a best seller in England and began her career as a successful writer. She continued to write travel books and started a steady stream of novels, of which the best are The Vicar of Wrexhill (1837) and The Widow Barnaby and its sequels (1839–56).
See his autobiography ed. by M. Sadleir (1883, repr. 1968); biographies of him by M. Sadleir (1927, new ed. 1961) and H. Walpole (1928); studies by A. O. J. Cockshut (1955), D. Smalley (1969), A. G. Freedman (1971), J. Pope-Hennessy (1971), W. M. Kendrick (1980), R. H. Super (1988), S. Wall (1989), and N. J. Hall (1992); L. P. and R. P. Stebbins, The Trollopes (1945, repr. 1968); biography of Frances Trollope by P. Neville-Sington (1998).

Summer left all kinds of marks on your legs. Thick bands of red from the metal flatbed of your dad's pickup truck. Raised welts made by cut grass criss-crossed your thighs. Jean shorts and sandals left stripes of burned flesh after long afternoons in the yard with a book.
The heat didn't keep you inside. Not when Aunt Shirley would promise a trip down to the store for something sweet. She'd pile all the kids into her aging maroon sedan and carry you around the bend down by the big house with the horses on the front lawn.
Eager children's limbs spilled out of the car and into the store where air conditioning filled all the space within, instantly freezing swimsuits and wet hair. You got to pick one thing--and hurry up--and you'd usually go for a Nutty Buddy or an orange push-up pop. You raced to eat your treat before it liquified down your arm. Then you'd fold and fold and fold the sopping wrapper into a fat sqaure and shove it into the smallest pocket of your hand-me-down cutoffs for your mom to find later in the laundry.
The nights were a respite, but not by much. The night air was still thick with wet, but when the sun dropped the stars showed themselves to you in the black tapestry of night, pulsing overhead, nestled like jewels. When the frogs and crickets gave pause you could hear their secrets.
There was nowhere but there.
Face into the fan you'd sing ahhhhhhhhh as the blades whipped your voice into a hilarious thing.
You needn't move anywhere. Besides, where would you go?
The creeks were the thing when you knew no one with a boat. You'd slip off socks and shoes and ease into shiny water, scrunching toes over mossy-smooth stones, wavering, gripping, standing steady as the water filled in around you, delighting in every almost-fall. You were told to be on the lookout for broken glass or sharp rocks, but no one mentioned water moccasins, so you got to watch your father beat one to death with a stone.
Why would it occur to you to leave?
Anyway, how would you go?
You'd lie in bed at night, legs sometimes over, sometimes under the thin sheet. You'd find triangles where the walls met the doors. You'd count them. Seven triangles. Seven intersections of three. Some were flags and some were pyramids, but that would change depending on how far the door was ajar. So many hours to find your own flags and temples.
You lived in your head then, back before you left and learned just how hot it got.

Dear friends,
When my daughter Sofia was born with Down syndrome, our family became part of a very special community. Our connections may be in person, or just over the Internet. We may live near each other and get to see each other regularly, or we may live so far apart that our "In Real Life" connections are few and far between. But our ties are strong. We are there to support each other, through good times and bad.
This past winter, Sofia was entered in a contest, to try to win a special adaptive bicycle. She didn't win. But one of my Down syndrome friends, a local mom who had tragically lost her own daughter as an infant, surprised me. At her suggestion, the First Congregational Church of Holliston (MA) raised the money, and are buying Sofia an adaptive bike! The members of the church have never met Sofia. We are not part of their direct community. But because of our connection to the amazing Down syndrome community, they raised nearly $2000 to purchase this special bicycle for Sofia.
Now it's our turn. My friend Rebecca lives in Iowa. We met via an online support group for parents of children with Down syndrome, and we managed to meet in real life several years ago. Rebecca is a single mom. She has a Masters Degree, and works as a researcher. She is also a talented designer; she designed this Blog layout for me years ago. She has two children at home. The glorious Elainah has Down syndrome, as well as Epilepsy. She is a year older than my Sofia. Her big brother, Chandler, has Aspergers, and has been bullied so much in school that he now has PTSD. Both of these children have frequent medical appointments, and the occasional emergency trip to the ER.
On April 1, Rebecca's car was hit. She was actually sitting at a light when another car slammed into her. The insurance company declared it totaled, but did not actually give her enough money to purchase a replacement. There is no public transportation available where she lives.
She needs another $3000 to purchase a vehicle. In her own words, she needs, "something small, that isn't too old, gets good mileage, and doesn't require much financing. I won't have money for ongoing repairs, so I need something that won't likely have many. A car like this would certainly reduce the odds of extra expenses right away."
I would like very much to "pay it forward" and encourage my friends and family to help raise that money for her.
In Cantor Ken Richmond's very moving speech before Yizkor, the Memorial Service on the last day of Passover, he spoke about the custom of giving tzedakah in memory of a loved one. Here is your opportunity.
Please consider helping Rebecca, a complete stranger to you, just as Sofia is a complete stranger to the First Congregational Church of Holliston community. Every little bit will help. Thank you for considering being a part of this special mitzvah.
UPDATE: I guess it would help if I posted the link! Here is the fundraising site and here is the video.

American tourist Peter Scherr uses an iPad to send a photograph on August 22, 2012.
The Associated Press reports — Call it back to the future: an Israeli attraction meant to immerse tourists in a biblical experience has outfitted its donkeys with wireless routers.
At the historical park of Kfar Kedem, visitors dressed in biblical robes and headdresses ride donkeys through the rolling hills of the Galilee, learning how people lived in Old Testament times.
But they can also surf the web while touring the land of the Bible on one of the oldest forms of transportation. The device slung around the donkey's neck like a feedback is actually a Wi-Fi router.
The park's manager, Menachem Goldberg, said Wednesday he hopes the melding of old and new will connect the younger generation to ancient Galilee life — while allowing them to share, tweet and snap the experience instantly to friends.

Wild Put Ailing Parise On IR With Bruised Foot
ST. PAUL, Minn. -- The Minnesota Wild have placed left wing Zach Parise on injured reserve because of a bruised foot.
The move was made Saturday. The Wild recalled goalie Johan Gustafsson from Iowa of the AHL to take Parise's spot on the active roster, but Parise can be taken off injured reserve at any time.
Parise has 15 goals and 12 assists in 37 games. He was hurt Nov. 25 at St. Louis and held out of the next game before returning to the ice four days later. But the 29-year-old star has not been the same since. He has only four goals and one assist in 12 games since the injury.
Parise has missed the last two games. Matt Cooke has taken his spot on the first line.

Winter Meetings Day 1
LAS VEGAS — I'm currently sitting in the work room here at the Bellagio in Vegas, where Day 1 of baseball's annual winter meetings are underway. As Blue Jays rumors and reports surface, I'll do my best to keep the ol' blog updated.
I actually landed here on Saturday and took part in the Las Vegas half marathon on Sunday morning (ran the 13.1 miles in 1:41.41 for those who might be interested). This being my first visit to Sin City, that was a great way to experience the Strip for the first time.
But, it's back to work. Toronto will probably be quiet for the most part this week, maybe looking into some potential trades, if anything. The Jays will probably have a meeting with A.J. Burnett's rep, who has a growing list of suitors for his client. The latest is that the Cardinals, who pursued Burnett prior to the '06 season, are the latest team to show interest.
I spoke with Darek Braunecker last night, when Burnett officially rejected Toronto's arbitration offer — the expected outcome — and the agent said he believes the Jays are still in the running, considering the club hasn't told him otherwise. No matter where Burnett ends up, Toronto will likely be approached before it's all said and done.
"They don't have to sell anything to him. He knows what he's got in Toronto," Braunecker said. "They were providing us the luxury and respect to go through the process and kind of circle back with them at the appropriate time. Unless their position has changed, or changes going forward, then by all means we anticipate visiting with them and concluding the process with them involved."
More as the day unfolds…
2:40 pm ET — Greg Maddux is currently holding a press conference, announcing his retirement. I remember watching Maddux when I was growing up in Chicago. He was definitely an amazing pitcher, cut from a different cloth style wise. Winning 350+ games in this era is quite a feat. He can start working on his Hall of Fame induction speech.
3:08 pm ET — There's a brief item in the Newark Star-Ledger, noting that the Blue Jays and Mets have discussed the availability of Toronto closer B.J. Ryan. The Jays reportedly want outfielder Fernando Martinez, but no way New York deals him for Ryan, especially with other closer options on the open market. Ryan is owed $10 million in each of the next two seasons.
5:47 pm ET — A Major League source declined to comment on a report in the Newark Star-Ledger claiming that the Blue Jays and Mets had discussed Ryan's availability, but hinted that the rumor was unfounded. There have been conflicting online reports about whether or not the two clubs actually met.
8:53 pm ET — A couple things: The Jays did not talk to the Mets about B.J. Ryan and Toronto doesn't plan on shopping him, says GM J.P. Ricciardi. Also today, Ricciardi sat down with Tom O'Connell, the agent for free-agent pitcher Carl Pavano. O'Connell said the meeting went well and said the Jays have "significant interest." The agent plans on meeting with roughly 10 teams this week and doesn't necessarily anticipate Pavano signing before the Meetings here in Vegas end. Ricciardi, meanwhile, said the Jays may have to free up some payroll through trades in order to accomplish some of their goals. Some of Toronto's relievers could be packaged in a deal and Ricciardi didn't deny that the club listen to offers for Alex Rios, though he did say they weren't actively shopping him. Acquiring pitching help is the priority. If the Jays don't land any arms, Ricciardi foresees a rotation that might include Roy Halladay, Jesse Litsch, David Purcey, Casey Janssen and maybe Scott Downs, Brian Tallet, Brett Cecil or Ricky Romero. More later on bluejays.com…
11:21 pm ET — Heading out to dinner, but before I go… A report on Yahoo! Sports is saying that the Jays might yet be a player for free-agent shortstop Rafael Furcal. Haven't been able to get this confirmed or denied, but Toronto would have to shift payroll to make it happen, and I don't see how — given Ricciardi's comments today — they could top the Oakland offer that Furcal rejected. But, I guess you never know… Eatin' time.

On yahoo rumors, it says that the mets and the bluejays have had discussions about trading B.J Ryan. But it also says that the jays want their outfield prospect Fernando Martinez. Don't we have enough talent in the outfield???
They can always use an outfielder for another trade….be it Rios, Wells, Lind or Snider. If they can manage to unload Ryan and one of Wells or Rios the team suddenly has some money to spend.
I say that considering that they have said they wont rebuild. Things can change though.
I want us to trade Ryan, but I think now is not the time. Ryan should be fully recovered from TJ surgury by spring and be back to 2006 level. With all the closing talent available as free agents, I expect we'd be selling at the low if we trade him now. Trade him in May/June at which time he'll be healthier and command a better prospect than Fernando Martinez-who at best is a B level prospect.
PAVANO!!!!!?????? Are you friggin cidding me!!!??? J.P is a retard! I can see him maybe trying for Byrd or Garland etc. But Pavano?????????
Wouldn't surprise me if they do end up with Pavano. J.P. has a history of low-risk, potentially high reward moves.
JP also has a history of boring moves that cost the team and produce little results. Pavano? Good grief!
JP also has a history of boring moves that cost the team and produce little results. Pavano? Good grief!
Don't you think that JP wants to sign guys like Bradley, Giambi, Ibanez, Sheets, and AJ? His hands are tied and can only acquire players through trades, or pick up guys on the cheap like Pavano. He's not going to garner a 4/40 type deal like he did 4 years ago, so getting him is clearly low-risk, high reward. Just completely baseless JP bashing. Whats new!
PAVANO!!!!!?????? Are you friggin cidding me!!!??? J.P is a retard! I can see him maybe trying for Byrd or Garland etc. But Pavano?????????
You want him to sign Garland who wants something like 3/30, but not Pavano who can probably be had for 1 mil plus incentives? Wow. Garland sucks, look it up.
We can't expect anything big from J.P., as all the things I'm hearing indicate. Furcal would be close to big … The Jays are going to Vegas with a limited bankroll. We are sitting with the 'big boys' short stacked, to make a poker reference.
Of the multiple reclamation project type free agent players JP has signed can anyone remember one single guy who worked out? I can't.
Signing a Pavano, Garland, Sheets, Ibanez, Bradley or Byrd is not going to change where we will finish next year-4th or 5th place.
Come on JP, smell the roses and trade all our high priced contracts for prospects and let's rebuild for 2010.
You're right about Furcal being expensive. Check out this story from the LA Times.
"Furcal has reportedly rejected the Oakland Athletics' take-it-or-leave-it offer, which Foxsports.com said was for four years and between $35 million and $40 million. "
In my opinion, there is NO WAY, Beeston would give JP the ok to sign this guy. If JP tops the offer made by Oakland, which has already been rejected or supposedly rejected, we're hung for 4 years.
There are so many reports that come out linking the Jays to a top 10 free agent?? It is very misleading and plays with mind, because I don't think are even the range of the top 20, without making things seriously tight for us.
Without even looking into it, reporters think we have been big players in the free agent market before, so why wouldn't we be again?
all i hear on here is negative!!all the jays need next year is some luck to stay healthy and productive.their lineup is as good as anyones,except maybe the yankees or boston.they just need a key piece here and there and they could be right in the mix!!don't shoot them down before the season starts!!
Right now, I would think they are good for 82-86 wins. Their pitching can only regress, and their hitting can only improve from last year. 2010 is the year in which they can do damage. With everyone healthy in 2010, they could potentially be great. Blowing the team up as some have suggested is stupid. Trade BJ or Overbay, let Lind and Snider improve, and be set up for 2010-2011.
I agree with you Plus… There is no sense blowing up this team when they aren't a crappy team. This team as you suggested is set up very for 2010 with the core players entering their primes. If we have bounce back years from some of our position playes and the pitchers continue to domintate as they have proved they can, with a few bounces and some good health this team will compete next year. With the improved parity in the AL East no one is going to run away with the division next year, making it possible the Jays can hang right in there.

Also I'm really sad...blablabla
EDIT: Also, have you tested these animations with custom models for Cloud? It's a bit of a novice question, I know; but I'm curious.
I'm curious, how many frames/how much time-loop do you have to work with on the standing still animation. Is it possible that we could have cloud doing something, stretching after a certain amount of time. Like in a lot of newer games if you let your characters stand they tend to do whatever they please in a sense. ( just an example) The only real concern with this if it can be done, is if it will interrupt the long speech sections where all characters stand while speech bubbles go wild.I just mean to be constructive, The way it is, it is a huge step into bringing FF7 to the modern era of games. It's funny how a lot of details such as this are some of the defining points for modern gaming and modern playable characters as well as NPCsGreat work!

Preventing undernutrition and overweight
WHO issues guidance on emerging double threat of childhood obesity and undernutrition in low- and middle-income countries
Note for media
5 JUNE 2013 | GENEVA/NEW YORK – Many low- and middle-income countries are neglecting overweight and obesity as major health threats, with policies in place to tackle undernutrition, but lack policies to halt the growing burden of diseases due to the rise of overweight, and obesity, according to new information released by WHO today.
More than 75% of overweight children live in developing countries with the prevalence in Africa almost doubling in the last 20 years. Obese children are more likely to be obese as adults, with an increased risk of diabetes and other diseases.
WHO's Essential Nutrition Actions
To help countries close these policy gaps, WHO has issued a consolidated package of 24 Essential Nutrition Actions, which outline the most effective ways countries can improve their peoples' nutritional status by preventing both undernutrition and overweight. There are many factors during pregnancy and infancy that can affect an older child's and an adult's weight.
Interventions include:
- improve nutrition of pregnant and breastfeeding women;
- encourage early initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, then continued breastfeeding up to 2 years;
- promote appropriate solid foods for young children; and
- provide micronutrient supplements and fortified foods, when needed.
"To avoid a massive explosion of nutrition problems in the next generation, policymakers urgently need to give more attention to improving the nutritional status of pregnant women and adolescent girls who will become mothers of the next generation."
Dr Francesco Branca, Director, WHO's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development
"Increasingly, we find overweight children living in countries where undernutrition is also still an issue," says Dr Francesco Branca, Director of WHO's Department of Nutrition for Health and Development. "While it is vital to maintain efforts to reduce undernutrition, the world needs to do much more to prevent and care for the growing numbers of people that are overweight or obese and living in low- and middle-income countries."
Causes of overweight and undernutrition
These conditions – undernutrition, obesity and overweight – are forms of malnutrition with their causes and consequences closely linked to inadequacies in the food system. A food system that does not deliver a sufficient amount of quality food can lead both to poor growth and to excess weight gain. A child who has grown poorly in his first years of life may turn into a short but overweight adolescent and then later in life, develop chronic disease as an adult.
"To avoid a massive explosion of nutrition problems in the next generation, policymakers urgently need to give more attention to improving the nutritional status of pregnant women and adolescent girls who will become mothers of the next generation," adds Dr Branca.
Essential Nutrition Actions address many health issues
Many policies to address the other half of the "double burden" of malnutrition – obesity and diet-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and stroke – are much further behind, especially in Africa and South-East Asia. And even when policies to address obesity exist at a national level, they are often not implemented at provincial or district level. Only one third of surveyed countries regulate the marketing of foods to children, and only a few have taken measures to reduce salt or transfats in foods.
Focusing on these essential nutrition actions, countries can reduce infant and child mortality, improve growth and development, and improve productivity. Countries such as Brazil, Ethiopia, and Peru and India's second most populous state, Maharashtra, have achieved such successes as a result of implementing these actions.
Worldwide, more than 100 million children under five years of age are underweight; 165 million are stunted i.e. have a low height for their age (which is a better indicator of chronic undernutrition). An estimated 35% of all deaths among children under five are associated with undernutrition. At the same time, some 43 million children under five are overweight or obese.
"With the 2015 deadline for the Millennium Development Goals less than 1000 days away, these reports provide countries and development partners with urgently needed analysis of what still needs to be done and consolidated guidance on how to get there," says Dr Branca.
A Lancet Series on Maternal and Child Nutrition is being published on 6 June. It includes an analysis of the impact of various nutrition interventions on the health of women and children. The Series also gives an estimate of what it would cost to fill some of the gaps identified in the Global Nutrition Policy Review ($12.6 billion per year including all supplies and staff costs).
Notes to Editors
In May 2012, the World Health Assembly adopted a series of nutrition-related goals which countries are working towards achieving by 2025:
- 40% reduction in the number of children under 5 who are stunted (low height-for-age);
- 50% reduction in the number of women of reproductive age with anaemia;
- 30% reduction in the number of babies with low birth weight;
- no increase in the proportion of children who are overweight;
- increase the rate of exclusive breastfeeding in the first 6 months to at least 50% (currently 38%); and
- reduce and maintain the proportion of children who are wasted (low weight-for-height) to less than 5% (currently 8%).

Police have identified the remains found off the "Tree Planting Road" off Stainback Highway in Hilo as a 44-year-old Hawaiian Acres man who was initially reported missing and later determined to be a murder victim.
Dante Peter Gilman was identified through dental records.
Police are withholding a cause of death pending additional forensic analysis. Police are also working with an anthropologist from the Joint POW Accounting Command/Central Identification Laboratory from the Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu to perform additional examinations.
On January 22 at about 5:18 a.m., police received an anonymous tip of a body off the "Tree Planting Road."
Police were conducting a search in the area for the body of Gilman, who was initially reported as missing. A murder investigation into his disappearance was initiated and Claude Keone Krause and his cousin, Kawena Krause, were both charged in that case.
Police ask that anyone with information on this case call Detective Derek Morimoto at 961-2380 or email him at email@example.com.
Tipsters who prefer to remain anonymous may call Crime Stoppers at 961-8300 in Hilo or 329-8181 in Kona and may be eligible for a reward of up to $1,000.

Have your children wear helmets as soon as they start to ride tricycles and if they are a passenger on the back of an adult's bike. If they learn to wear helmets whenever they ride tricycles and bikes, it becomes a habit for a lifetime. It's never too late, however, to get your children into helmets. Allow your child to participate in choosing their helmet. They'll be able to let you know if it is comfortable. And if they like the design, they are more likely to wear it.
Children learn best by observing you. Whenever you ride your bike, put on your helmet. Plan bicycle outings during which all family members wear their helmets to further reinforce the message. The most important factor influencing children to wear helmets is riding with an adult who wears a helmet.
There are many things you can tell your children to convince them of the importance of helmet use. Bikes are vehicles, not toys. You love and value them and their intelligence, and need to protect them. They can permanently hurt their brains or even die of head injuries. Most professional athletes use helmets when participating in sports. Bicycle racers are now required to use them when racing in the United States and in the Olympics.
Praise them; give them special treats or privileges when they wear their helmets without having to be told to.
Be consistent. If you allow your children to ride occasionally without their helmets, they won't believe that helmet use really is important. Tell your children they have to find another way to get where they are going if they don't want to use their helmets.
Peer pressure can be used in a positive way if several familis in the neighborhood start making helmet use a regular habit at the same time.
A helmet should be worn squarely on top of the head, covering the top of the forehead. If it is tipped back, it will not protect the forehead. The helmet fits well if it doesn't move around on the head or slide down over the wearer's eyes when pushed or pulled. The chin strap should be adjusted to fit snugly.

Zombie 5k: Director wants you to race until you're undead
Anyone who says they'll only run if someone's chasing them now has an opportunity to prove it.
The Zombie 5k, taking place October 17 at 8:30am, is the brainchild of filmmaker Brian Wimer and will feature two distinct groups of runners: zombies and their would-be victims, the latter of whom will get a slight head start at the race at Lee Park downtown.
"I don't think you'd get this experience anywhere else–- to look over your shoulder and see, perhaps, 100 zombies screaming and chasing you," laughs Wimer, noting that 100 people–- including serious runners from out-of-state–- have already registered for the unusual experience.
"I think we're going to have some people getting their best 5k times," Wimer adds wryly, noting that human's ability–- and desire–- to run is likely tied to our evolutionary history as hunters– or the hunted.
"One guy who does the New York City marathon confided that whenever he passes people in a race, he licks his lips," says Wimer. "That confirms the predator aspect of any race–- we're running from something or after something."
To that end, runners can choose to be zombie or victim, with the latter wearing a flag-football style tag that, if captured by a zombie, signals the victim's death. After "death," the victim will visit one of several special roadside booths to be adorned with fake blood, at which time he or she will join the zombies in running after the remaining "victims."
Those who are zombies from the get-go can come to the race already in costume, or can take advantage of several make-up artists who'll be on hand to assist the transformation. Children old enough to run 5k (or ride in strollers) are welcome, although consideration for the heart-pounding terror of being chased by the undead should be considered. Wimer says adult zombies will not be permitted to "kill" children runners–- "only child zombies can do that," he says.
Another tip: if caught by a zombie, victims should realize the jig is up.
"Please," says Wimer. "Don't fight back."
While the timing of the race is appropriate with Halloween just around the corner, Wimer appears to have a year-round fascination with zombies. Back in February 2009, he premiered "Eat Me: The Musical," a road-tripping zombie musical created around the music of local band The Falsies.
The zombie road race will be filmed and will be part of the DVD extras for Wimer's new movie–- Danger. Zombies. Run.–- which will debut October 30 at the Paramount at 7pm and again as part of the Virginia Film Festival on Friday, November 5 at 11pm at the Regal Downtown.
The race is co-sponsored by the Charlottesville Running Company, and a portion of the $20 race entry fee will go toward an initiative to bring fresh local foods into Charlottesville City Schools and to Filmmakers Republik, a Central Virginia nonprofit supporting local films.
Correction: Danger. Zombies. Run. will screen Friday, November 5 at 11pm, not Saturday as originally reported in this article.–ed.

Can I bring my shotgun? (That's my plan for the real zombie apocolypse) Double tap, not cardio.
How much of a gap is there between regular runner release and zombie release? This is just what I need to hit a personal record!
Can I bring my goat?
Woo! 80th place!
NO CLOWNS! Keep the ZOMBIES!
We're thinking a one minute head start for the runners. And there will be a few surprises along the route. I just hope to God this doesn't turn out to be some War of the Worlds thing - and have some old lady going out for the newspaper find a hundred zombies running down her street. Actually that would be funny. It's the gun owners I'm concerned about. An old lady with a gun? BTW, we now have over 150 on the registry. Predicting possibly double that. Could be more. Yikes.
I did the race ( as a runner)- It was great. Great support and great route. Unique for cville. I was last living human across- just ahead of a FAST ZOMBIE!
Is there anywhere where the runners can find out their race time?
Haha-- I dont think we are going to see results...just a movie!
There was a digital clock at the finish ( not facing the runner)- so maybe they will film it and tell us results later but I wouldnt hold your breath. It was a GREAT media gimick and ad for a movie!
I found results posted at charlottesvillerunningcompany.com
Fool on me- I saw them also-- I was 10th the last of the living!
Here's the link for the results at Charlottesville Running Company Website: http://bit.ly/bM7XAr
I'll be posting an update article and some photos tomorrow morning.--Courteney Stuart
The world is already filled with zombies. "Must-buy-stuff-I-don't-even-need! Must-zone-out-in-front-of-TV-for-hours! Must-mindlessly-parrot-viewpoints-that-the-media-tells-me-to-have! Can't-think-for-myself! Must-chat-on-cellphone-and-text-on-my-Blackberry-and-ignore-my-kids! Don't-know-how-to-feel-real-emotions! Can-only-mimic-and-parrot-the-true-humans! Have-no-soul!"
The world's full of zombies. Just look around.

Inspired by a recent article on Chris Knowles' Secret History of Rock N Roll blog that attempts to expose the Plutonian energies drifting through contemporary pop music, Zac Odin took the responsibility of drawing the debate closer to practical reality.
It's interesting to look at the various influences that affect popular culture, and it's often surprising to find that some of these influences have different origins than we might expect. Unfortunately Knowles presumptions about secret histories seems to relate more to starting an investigation from an inaccurate world view than revealing any hidden knowledge.
Are Die Antewoord emissaries of some darkling force adrift in the universe? Are they the inevitable mediators of repressed racial disparities, mass mediated occulture overload, emergent culture and the realities of poverty in the 3rd world?
I think Zac makes a pretty strong case racial disparities, clownish mediators and the realities of 3rd world povery, the Plutonian thing….I dunno about Plutonian energies, unless that's the term you're going to use to describe the fact that quite often, Humanity is a nasty beast of a creature.
For more on the liminal aspects of clowns check out:
Gilber V. Wilke's analysis: There's a Reason Clowns are Creepy
and Zac Odin's follow up: Some More Thoughts on the Nature of Clowns
– D. Metcalfe
Enter the Mediators:
"The only real things in life is the unexpected things. Everything else is just an illusion." – Ninja
Die Antwoord are Clowns. Fools in the deepest sense. That is why they have spread like fire across the internet. Clowns are liminal figures, trapped on the borderline between yin and yang, darkness and light, bringing dark into light and light into dark. Clowns represent the confusing Other in terms we can accept but they do not change the nature of the Other and they do not allow us to forget the Other.
Die Antwoord, regardless of their actual histories, dwell in our western perception on the borderline between the third world and what we like to imagine is the first world. South Africa, white apartheid subsumed by the heart of Africa where the realities of the West are remixed into strange new forms. Yes, we are still bound by colonial fears, no matter how you mask it, how ironic or arch your hipsterness is. Die Antwoord (and, to a lesser and less aware degree, jugallos) dance on the edge of these fears. They are white, Yo-Landi Vi$$er whiter that white – winter crystals forming on her eyelashes – harbingers of a rapidly mutating global culture. As such, they are acceptable to all of us
in our offices, ipad-carrying, bike riding, sustainability craving middle class westerners.
Because that's how they exploded – blossoming out of a post on Pitchfork media. And we all know who reads Pitchfork. Accepted and spread by middle class western internet users – accepted as a joke, an artifact, the real thing, a fascinating obscurity; it doesn't matter how. It is who. You think they're funny? Well they are joking in a way but why do you think they're funny? Does your hipster smirk mask something else? It's a prank but a prank like the K Foundation. Real as fuck. Cutting to the heart of your reality, they are liminal figures from the townships at the edge of the Western world. From the edge of the western soul – from where the west is transformed by the heart of darkness.
So they are playing a game with pieces of culture. You want white trash from a
shantytown? You don't get fuckin white trash. You get something else. What you
expected is not what is there. And yet at the same time its exactly what it purports to be; not a game but it's the biggest game ever. Ninja's real but he only just came into existence. Everyone's talking about them being a joke, fakes, that Watkin Tudor Jones & Yo-Landi Vi$$er are artists with all these other personas behind them, other games like the Constructus Corporation and Max Normal. Some of you need them to be fakes but does it matter?
No it doesn't. At all. The effect is real, the reason they are all up in the
interwebs is real. The end result is real.
Was Elvis real? Not as real as the world he mediated between 'ours' for. Yet he was real. Same thing. Same fears, same blatant male sexuality but revised for our times – watch Evil Boy. Its Priapus in the Bush of Ghosts. Its aggressive sexuality from both sexes – Yo-Landi's breasts are watching you. Which means that the moral majority will be the next to take notice. Next comes the fear, outright fear of the clowns. Middle class fear unmasked.
– Zac Odin

Pandering to the Locals December '07
I kinda hate year the end round-ups and trite "best of" lists that will make up the rest of the journalistic year, but I think it's a practice steeped in deep tradition and I guess it's somewhat helpful, so here's a little bit about what went down at Sub Pop in the past months. 2007 brought us follow up records from old faves The Shins, Low, Jennifer Gentle, Iron and Wine, Band of Horses, Kinski, and Mudhoney as well as a whole bunch of new or new-to-us bands such as Loney Dear, Dntel, Patton Oswalt, Handsome Furs, Pissed Jeans, Tiny Vipers, flight of the conchords, and The Go! Team. We put out some seven inch singles, too, from bands like Wooden Shjips, Kelley Stoltz, and The Thermals. Our little buds at Hardly Art have successfully made it through their first year with releases from Arthur & Yu and Le Loup and we couldn't be prouder. More proud. Whatever.
You know what, though? Next year is going to be totally insane as it will be Sub Pop's Twentieth Anniversary(!) and we're going to go totally nuts celebrating. Keep your eyes peeled for special releases, collector junk, and worldwide partying in the streets.

ROCHESTER — Imagine this: a student with disabilities gets the opportunity to get into a bucket lift with a guy from the public works department to decorate and hang ornaments on a very large Christmas tree. In downtown Rochester.
Thanks to the folks at Rochester Department of Public Works, students at the Monarch School of New England get to experience decorating a Christmas tree from the top down. A very unusual opportunity, in the best of times!
But the partnership that has come about with the Monarch School and the Rochester Department of Public Works is anything, if not unusual. For over 10 years, the two organizations have worked to develop this relationship, which has been great for them both.
The Monarch School of New England is a school for students with disabilities; based in Rochester and Gonic, it serves students from the ages of 5-21. Part of the school's mission is to provide job training for students so that when they graduate, they might have some skills.
Thanks to the work of Lisa Clark, at the Rochester Department of Public Works, and Holly Moquin, at the Monarch School, students are given the chance to learn new skills at the department's garage and within its main office. As a result, a great partnership has formed between the two groups.
Which brings us back to the Christmas tree in Rochester Square.
This year, a number of area kindergarten and elementary schools created ornaments for the tree. Students at the Monarch School laminated them and then on Nov. 30, got the chance to put some of them up.
These DPW guys are amazing! They brought everything together and then worked with Monarch students to hang the decorations. Ever watch a child with a disability get into a lift to reach the top branches of a Christmas tree that never before would have had the opportunity? Smiles that light up a tree.
This works because the partnership really celebrates our students – it shows what is possible when great people come together in support of what young people with disabilities can do.
Thank you, Rochester Department of Public Works. For giving us the chance to be part of this holiday tradition. The tree looks fabulous.
