Haven't posted a cake for a while, but this looks like a baking-heavy month:
The idea for this cake came from here. Next time I'd try a different tip, something with deeper teeth so the "petals" are deeper, and I'd do a first layer of icing that's either green or yellow–I think there's too many leaves (Kerry Vincent calls it "decoratoritis") but I had a good bit of white undercoat to try to cover.
At this year's staff party we had a bingo game and I was asked to donate a baked good as a prize. The other person who donated a baked good was smart enough to say "chocolate cake, next week" but I just went with 2 dozen cupcakes and an open due date. The prize was won by a daughter of a coworker, and since the child was seven we all just felt lucky there was something for her to win that wasn't a bottle of wine or a burlesque workshop.
I had previously lent this coworker my copy of Hello Cupcake because her husband was making a Death Star cake for her son's birthday and that book has lots of good decorating tips for people who don't want to get all Wilton about it, and apparently the daughter fell in love with the pupcakes on the cover, to the point of taking the book to bed with her, so pupcakes are what she wanted for her birthday. Mine are more blobular than the ones in the book, but apparently they did okay at the party–I was told the girls liked the grey dogs because they had more texture, but the boys liked the other ones.
When they came to get the cupcakes they told me that they'd be watching a movie at the party, so I asked "101 Dalmations?" and was told, no, Nausicaa. In my town even the 8 year olds are higher-browed than I am.
Not related to baking: my nephew started Tulane this week, so I knit him a squid bookmark:

I'm always looking for a time-saver, especially on the weekends. I love meal planning and getting my calendar all set for the next week which usually involves grocery shopping.
The average person spends 41 minutes at the grocery store each trip. If you multiply that by the typical 1.5 grocery store visits each week, we spend about 53 hours a year shopping for groceries (CreditDonkey). Woah!
The Walmart Grocery app is here to give you back those 53 hours. The app allows you to do all of your grocery shopping from your phone, you never have to set foot in the store. I've got a special $10 off promo code on your first online order, too!
The app allows you to track your spending in the top righthand corner, and you can also add favorites – those things you know you will need every single week. They will show up right when you open the app and you can quickly add these essentials to your cart.
Searching is easy too. The top lefthand corner has a menu icon that will drop down and show you all of the grocery categories. You can browse all of the frozen foods, produce, or drinks by clicking on the category.
If you make a grocery list every week like me, you can use the search bar at the top and type in exactly what you're looking for. Jennie-O ground turkey is a staple in my house. Instead of browsing all of the meat, I just type in exactly what I'm looking for and the app will take me right to it. I also like that the app keeps my total displayed as I add items to my cart so I can stick to my budget.
Once you find the product you're looking for, just click "Add to Cart" and select the quantity. Don't forget, if it's a staple for you, click the heart icon on the right and it will instantly be added to your favorites. If you want more information on any of the items, just click the item and it will take you to the product details.
When you're ready to check out, click the shopping cart icon in the top righthand corner. You can review all the items in your cart and remove anything you don't need or change the quantity. Note – there is a $30 minimum in order to check out. So if you just need one or two items, you won't be able to do a quick shopping trip using the app. Once you reach the $30 minimum and have everything you need in your cart, click "Check Out."
You know when you go to the check out line at the grocery store they have the magazine and candy racks staring at you? The app hits you with the same temptation. They will make a few last-minute suggestions for you to add to your cart before you get to the real check out. If you know you got everything on your list, just ignore this page and move along.
The next page asks you to choose your pickup address. You can starch for the location closest to you and make it your "home" store. Then you select your pickup time. The first time I used the app was on a Sunday. My location didn't have any available Sunday pickup times so I ended up scheduling the pickup for Monday. They will call you about an hour before your scheduled time to let you know they're processing your order and that it will be ready for you to pickup within the hour.
You can enter your credit card information on the payment method page and elect to store your credit card for future orders. You pay for the groceries at the time you submit your order so you don't have to give them any kind of payment when you go to pick them up. Review your order one last time.
When you get to the bottom of the order review you will click the "Place order" button and be all set! BUT FIRST! Be sure you use my "refer a friend" promo code ROTQZZNO provided by Walmart before you place your oder and you will get $10 off your first order of $50 or more!
When it's time for you to pick up your order, head to your pickup location an look for these signs. There are reserved parking spots for people picking up online grocery orders. Call the number on the sign once you park.
A Walmart associate will come out to you car with your groceries all bagged up in these blue cartons and load your trunk up for you! It's that easy! You really don't even have to get out of the car. I needed to clear my trunk out so I got out and chatted with the associate for a bit. Then I signed the little electronic receipt pad and within minutes I had my receipt in my email inbox and I was headed home!
Note: They will tell you if there were any items on your list that they weren't able to find or if they had to substitute anything. On my first order, they had to substitute a canned product I ordered for a larger size because they were out of the size I ordered. I wasn't charged anything extra for the larger size because they were out of stock of what I ordered. When I unloaded my groceries at home, they hadn't missed a single item on my list – everything was accounted for!
And I got a free bag full of little samples for being a first-time customer! I'm all about free samples.
Some final thoughts on the app:
I definitely think this is an excellent time saver. It also helped me stick to exactly what was on my list since I wasn't distracted by other items like I would be if I was going aisle-by-aisle at the store.
I'm unsure of how you would apply coupons if you had them. The app didn't prompt me to enter any coupon codes – maybe you can put them in the promo code box and see if they applied? I need to look into this more.
The Walmart I typically shop at wasn't listed as an available location for pickup so I had to go a little out of my way to get to the closest available location. So just note, not all Walmarts participate in the online grocery shopping app.
If you guys try this out or have any helpful tips if you've used the app before, let me know! And don't forget to use the referral promo code ROTQZZNO to get $10 off your first order!
Happy shopping!

Have you ever noticed that when you stay in a hotel, even if you give all the right cues during your stay, your towels still get washed every day? Or that the cleaning crew in your office tosses all of the refuse from the trash cans and the recycle bins into the same dumpster?
Nancy Wilson, a fellow planner and green meeting proponent, has posted on her blog an eye-opening anecdote about a convention center's confession to her that, while they SAY they recycle, they don't actually recycle.
Sadly, that convention center is not alone. The deceptive practice (intentional or not) of promising environmental friendliness and not delivering on those promises – called greenwashing – is so widespread that green-marketing firm TerraChoice has published a white paper on the six most common sins.
PCMA's March 2008 issue of Convene has an article reporting that "greenwashing" is one of the very top concerns in our industry.
What can we as planners do to ensure that the promotion matches the practice? Ask questions. Require a demonstration. See for yourself that the recycle bins go into a larger recycling container. Request a follow-up letter from the homeless shelter that was supposed to receive the extra food from your event. Ask the hotel's general manager why your towels keep getting replaced.
What do you do to ensure that your meeting isn't the victim of greenwashing?

The search for becoming "ageless" means effort. The quest requires following a map displaying steps for living and eating healthier. Jeunesse Global released a host of supplements and other products to potentially support the cause. A brief look at a few product offerings tells a story about how the company lends a hand. Health shares a connection with youthfulness. People wish to retain or recapture their youth by presenting healthy skin. Jeunesse Global delivers a skin care strategy under the "luminesce anti-aging skin care line." Fine lines and wrinkles could meet their match in the form of the topical products available in this line. Skin care products do some good on the outside. What does Jeunesse offer for the inside? The company provides a host of different items. For nutritional support, the Reserve drink delivers something out of the ordinary. Consider this an extra-special fruit drink. As a source of antioxidants, Reserve impresses. Never overlook a source of nutrients. AM & PM Essentials both provide the body with the nutrients necessary to support optimal performance. The ingredients found in the two supplements are uniquely designed to work in the morning and in the evening. Vitamins A, B6, C, and D are found in AM Essentials. Other ingredients include niacin, riboflavin, and more. Starting the day right isn't always easy. Rushing around as the sun rises leads to missing out on important meals. Junk food further makes it harder to get the right nutrients. The AM offering creates a vehicle for procuring those nutrients. That's not all. PM Essentials delivers nutrients designed to support the body when evening and sleep come. The two make an intriguing combination. Acquiring the daily serving of fruit and vegetables seems as difficult as climbing the highest mountain peak. Ordering Finiti from Jeunesse Global won't be so tough. Finiti comes packed with vegetable and fruit ingredients. Load up on those nutrients through the capsules.

Had "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" came out in the '70s, right after David
Bowie's "Ziggy Stardust," it likely would now be regarded as one of the
most popular rock musicals of all time. Released in the 500 channel,
sensory overload world of 2001, however, the big screen adaptation of
the acclaimed off-Broadway musical must do battle with countless other
productions clamoring for attention.
I almost missed it. Every August, the major studios try to squeeze the
last few dollars out of summer moviegoers by dumping all of their
shakier offerings on the marketplace at once. I was so busy trying to
keep up with national releases like "Summer Catch" and "Bubble Boy" that
I passed over any independent film that looked like it would only have a
short local run. But an e-mail from a reader asking why I hadn't
reviewed the movie prompted me to make a late evening trip to the
Thank goodness for readers like him.
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" is a gender-bending glam-rock spectacular
packed with great songs. Stylistically, the hook-laden tunes are
reminiscent of Bowie, "Bat Out of Hell" era Meatloaf and "The Rocky
Horror Show," without ever seeming like imitations. As with "Tommy,"
"Hedwig" tells a story of isolation, pain and defiance, but without the
bloated feel of that beloved, but overrated rock opera.
Writer-director-star John Cameron Mitchell and composer-lyricist Stephen
Trask have cooked up a real winner.
Mitchell stars as Hedwig, a singer from East Berlin touring a chain of
U.S. coffee shops with her pan-Slavic band, the Angry Inch. While the
patrons of the run-down restaurants look on in shock, and sometimes
horror, Hedwig boldly tells the sad story of her life in song.
She was once a boy named Hansel (Ben Mayer-Goodman), living with his
mother (Alberta Watson) and listening to rock and roll on American Armed
Forces Radio. Life is an exercise in duality for Hansel. A wall splits
his hometown into two parts. Mother describes love as the emotion that
comes when you find your other half.
As Hansel grows up, the duality becomes more pronounced. After initially
mistaking him for a girl, a GI from the States (Maurice Dean Wint) falls
in love with Hansel and wants to marry him. Alas, Hansel will never pass
the mandatory physical. Mother helpfully suggests a sex change, but the
operation goes bad, hence the references to "the angry inch" (yes, I
know this part is squirm-inducing, but stick with me - it's worth it).
Several years later, Mr. Right is long gone and Hansel becomes Hedwig,
decked out in a Farrah Fawcett-style wig and fronting a band made up of
Korean women. Hedwig finds a new love in Tommy (Michael Pitt), a
beatific lad with a unique take on Christianity. But Tommy does Hedwig
wrong, stealing her songs and becoming a superstar.
Cut to the present. Tommy Gnosis' stadium tour is thriving and Hedwig is
suing him. Despite warnings from her manager (Andrea Martin) that she
could easily be labeled a stalker, Hegwig and her new band, the Angry
Inch, continue their coffee shop tour, shadowing the thief by playing
whatever city he is in.
If this sounds like a bizarre premise for a rock musical, take a few
seconds and consider the plotlines of "Tommy" and "Rocky Horror."
As Hedwig, John Cameron Mitchell does a magnificent job taking a
character that could have simply been a caricature or an icon and
turning her into a compelling human being. Mitchell has world-class
style and vocal chords to match. Even though the backstory is unusually
strong, Mitchell never forgets that the production is first and foremost
a rock musical. Everything is propelled by one terrific song after
another and, trust me, these are full-fledged rock songs, not the
over-processed fluff that passes for rock in most musicals.
While Mitchell remains in the center of the stage throughout the film,
there is much of interest on the sidelines. Miriam Shor does fine work
as Yitzhak, Hedwig's lover and bandmate, conveying a great deal through
expressions alone. Decked out in a bandanna and a surprisingly
convincing beard, she makes a mighty attractive man. As always, "SCTV"
veteran Andrea Martin is a welcome presence onscreen and Michael Pitt is
beguiling as Tommy, the angelic-appearing little rat. Artist Emily
Hubley adds to the magic with a string of dandy animated sequences that
charm the eye while underlining the central themes of the musical.
"Hedwig and the Angry Inch" surrounds a weird, funny and touching story
with a knockout series of songs performed by an exceptional cast. True
originals do not come along very often � don't let this slip out of town
without seeing it.

The kids are home, the ice cream man is circling the block, and you're ready to pull your hair out, right? Never fear, you're not alone.
Do you ever feel like the school year is a mini vacation that happens on a daily basis? I know I do. Which is why when Summer Break rolls around the anxiety picks up and I begin to think How in the world am I going to survive 24 solid hours of "Mom, look at me!" or "HE HIT ME!". Whether you're a stay at home parent or hit the office regularly, we could all use a break from Summer break.
When I was a kid, Summer was the bee's knees. It meant no school and a flexible bedtime. What I didn't realize that this meant my mom was on double duty. On top of her normal work schedule, she also had to nail down child care, meals, and a complete workaround of her almost perfect schedule. My poor mom! I almost want to call her and apologize.
All sad stuff aside, I have some great news for you, Summer break doesn't need to be that cloud raining on your sunny parade. I've spoken to a lot of parents and received some great tips on how they learned to survive while the kiddos were lurking around.
Ditch The Hot Oven
Who needs to be slaving over a oven when it's 100 degrees outside? NOT ME, that's who. This is an excellent time to utilize that grill. Try making some slight tweaks to your menu to better suit the warm weather. Fresh sandwiches and cold salads? I think yes!
Make Time For Yourself
Take that Yoga class or use those dusty running shoes that you bought last year. Anything! Just get up and get out, sans the kids. Alone time is vital for everyone. It'll boost your energy and get your day off to a good start.
Snack Station
SNACKS, SNACKS, AND MORE SNACKS. Pick a spot in the kitchen within child reach and have some tasty treats awaiting them. This will help you have one less thing to do or prepare.
Ship Them Off To camp
The headline says it all. A lot of communities offer free day camps. This is a great way to allow you to stick to your somewhat regular schedule and tire your children out just in time for dinner ;)

The sun's radiant energy is the fuel that drives Earth's climate engine. As shown in the figure, the Earth-atmosphere system constantly tries to maintain a balance between the energy that reaches the Earth from the sun and the energy that flows from Earth back out to space. Energy received from the sun is mostly in the visible (or shortwave) part of the electromagnetic spectrum. About 30% of the solar energy that comes to Earth is reflected back to space. The ratio of reflected-to-incoming energy is called "albedo" from the Latin word meaning whiteness. The solar radiation absorbed by the Earth causes the planet to heat up until it is radiating (or emitting) as much energy back into space as it absorbs from the sun. The Earth's thermal emitted radiation is mostly in the infrared (or longwave) part of the spectrum. The balance between incoming and outgoing energy is called the Earth's radiation budget.
The components of the Earth system that are most important to the radiation budget are the planet's surface, atmosphere, and clouds. Understanding clouds, where they occur, and their characteristics, is thought to be the key to understanding climate change. The effect of clouds on the Earth's radiation balance is measured

Fringe: Limbo Unhinged
Emma Ferraro
Welcome to an exotic illogical world, where peculiar characters wait on the edge of false awakening. A with the whisper of spirits and domination, illusion, suspension; LIMBO is boundless. - Strut and Fret Production House
Award-winning, internationally recognised LIMBO returns with its latest incarnation, Unhinged, a self-professed 'grittier and hotter netherworld.'
From behind a closed door, a host of characters emerge into the world of Limbo. What is Limbo? It's an alternative dimension, described as a place where time can be manipulated and the potential for transcendence is a shared delusion.
I'm not sure if I'd agree with the latter - it really did seem as though the audience experienced something far beyond the norm. For Limbo opens up a realm of potentials - things you never would've imagined are given life and the impossible become tangible. The hypnotic exploration of Limbo: Unhinged is truly a place where everything is possible.
Whilst there is not necessarily a distinctive storyline, each performance is obviously interconnected, not only through the way in which each artist is by one another's side (not always as part of the act), but how the artists are the human embodiments of Limbo itself. Much like the netherworld which they have created, the artists perform in a way that is beyond your wildest fantasies.
Limbo is circus, physical theatre and cabaret, but what you see includes acrobatics, Chinese pole dancing, aerial stunts, tap-dancing, rollerblades, sword-swallowing, and fire-breathing. There's dance, music, and comedy, for Limbo can go from a place of excitement and fervour, to one of mystery and darkness, but there's a cohesion there, almost a lull before the dam breaks.
Each performer is multi-talented (seriously, save some of the talent for the rest of us), and performs a with brazen intensity, passion, and fearlessness that is truly breath-taking. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, they love to perform, and they love seeing people's reactions.
The live ensemble is lead by Mick Stuart, in which artists also play instruments and sing, whether this be on or above ground. The music is ethereal, it's playful and sexy, it's dark and bold. The lighting is thematic, it surrounds each artist, and occasionally, it's pink.
There's something indescribable about Limbo. I've tried, but I don't think words can do it justice. Of course, you can use the words 'amazing', 'wonderful', etc., but to me, it doesn't feel like enough. Because Limbo isn't a descriptive sentence, it's a feeling, it's a journey, it's an experience. Go see it. Really, you won't regret it.
Star Rating: 5/5

Romney the bully
"And If anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that." This was Mitt Romney's version of prominent people's typical mealy-mouthed response to charges of misconduct. Romney made his almost apology after saying, "Back in high school, I did some dumb things."
According to a Washington Post story, by Jason Horowitz, Romney, was upset seeing the dyed blond locks of another male student. Reportedly, "John Lauber, a soft-spoken new student one year behind Romney, was perpetually teased for his nonconformity and presumed homosexuality." Romney organized a group of students that attacked Lauber and held him down while Romney cut his hair. Lauber left school long enough to return with brown hair.
I do not place much value on apologies. What someone did was an accident or it was intentional. Someone cannot sincerely apologize for circumstances of an accident she or he did not control. Additionally, someone apologizing for intentional harmful conduct does not change the victim's pain or loss. Nevertheless, the tone of someone's apology does tell us much about the likeness of her or his character then and now. Many people see no relevance between this 1965 incident by high-school senior Romney and his character as presidential candidate 47 years later. I would agree except for his responses to the news article.
"Back in high school, I did some dumb things," Romney said, "And If anybody was hurt by that or offended, obviously I apologize for that." This remark suggests that many of the shallow character traits of a high school senior remain part of Romney's character 47 years later as presidential candidate.
Romney refers to a time-back in high school- and not to specific acts. "Back in high school" could refer to annoying faculty members by streaming their homes with toilet paper. It could refer to bullying weaker or less popular students by jumping ahead of them in line. On the other hand, it could refer to assaulting Lauber and other male students that he decided acted too feminine or that he presumed were gay. An apology does not admit responsibility if it does not specify the bad conduct.
"And if anybody was hurt. . ." Translation, "Forty-six years later, I still do not understand how what I did "back in high school" was offensive or hurtful to anybody. Nevertheless, I apologize if they took offense or felt hurt." This sham of an apology denies responsibility and shifts it to the victim.
I heard Romney in a live radio interview with Brian Kilmeade talk about the article. He said, "I participated in a lot of hijinks and pranks during high school, some might have gone too far, and for that I apologize." Again, he trivializes the pain his assaults caused others by apologizing for "hijinks," noisy and mischievous merrymaking, and for "pranks," tomfoolery. This choice of words effectively denies his bullying did serious harm. He used those terms even as he admitted that he remembered the incident where he and other boys forcibly cut Lauber's hair. Society advanced far since 1965 to understand the continuing stress school bullies cause victims. Nevertheless, Romney obviously missed the message.
Some incidents from youth stick in the mind to influence adult attitudes. I noticed some older students in my new school calling one boy "Sister Brown." I substitute Brown for his actual last name. I knew him from church by his actual name. The nickname seemed disrespectful to me. However, I said nothing. Seemingly, they were friends from kindergarten and he always responded by laughing. However, one day I looked direct into his eyes as he laughed and saw pain and misery so deep and strong it distressed me. They taunted him because they believed he was gay and he understood the scorn. He left town a short time later, but I never forgot that look of pain.
I relate this incident to acknowledge the experiences that influences my conclusion about Romney. He lies when he asserts that homophobia did not motivate his assault on Lauber and others that he perceived exhibited feminine traits. Often, I saw young males target for bullying someone with a small frame and whom they decided displayed female traits. In all cases, they presumed the targeted person was gay. It is not a coincidence that many adults living openly gay were high school targets of taunting assaults by Romney and his gang of vigilantes. Nevertheless, Romney claims he never knew or presumed them gay in high school.
The news about Romney's bullying conduct in high school is not necessarily a relevant indicator of his adult character. Nevertheless, he makes it relevant with responses more characteristic of the bullying teenager than of someone who matured and changed attitude over the past 46 years.

Stockhausen is Dead
Stockhausen lecture circa 1972
(thanks to Kirk Ross & iLud)
Karlheinz Stockhausen (August 22, 1928 – December 5, 2007) was a German composer, rated by some as one of the most important and controversial composers of the 20th century. He is known for his ground-breaking work in electronic music, aleatoric music, the use of multiple orchestras and other innovations. Another critic calls him "one of the great visionaries of 20th-century music". In other words, he is just like me. Except I have the added advantage of still being alive. So choose me! Choose me! Just not for killing.
My first exposure to Stockhausen was in the '70s, when, after a decade of traditional fare being served and played back for parents and other yawners, I got the itch to remediate my deficits and hurl myself into a pursuit of ethnomusicological studies, coupled with research into what some folks call "contemporary classical", and others, "avant-garde", musics. Specifically, Messaien, Crumb, Xenakis, Subotnick, Elliott Carter, Darius Milhaud Nixon, R. U. Reading, Orr Arendt-Chu, Dee Fibrillator, ah damn, I forgot what I was talking about. Probably the mad cow.
I am delighted to hear that Charlotte and North Carolina schools are going green,
but don't stop with the school grounds. The buses that serve the rule of social mixing, also clogs up our air and vehicular circulatory system. It is unsustainable, unless we create -- and create we should -- green buses. But this doesn't unclog the roads.
How do you envision creating an entirely green system, which INCLUDES the transportation element?

It has been a busy couple of weeks. Not only have we been preparing for our online course starting on 6th October for the PDA Unit 1, but we also have just completed the Unit 2 course at New Lanarkshire Business and Conference Centre, Cumbernauld.
The Unit 2 classroom inputs included SWOT, PESTELOE, Risk Analysis and Demographic Analysis.
Highlights of the two week course included:
• Behavioural & geographic profiling delivered by Paul Hodgson, external A1 consultant.
One student said: 'Enjoyed the day on profiling and could have spent days listening to Paul'
• A day of Courtroom Skills which included a practical assessment by Carolyn Rae, external A1 consultant.
One student said: 'Excellent Courtroom Skills training with Carolyn'.
• Advanced Excel training which included an assessment on Pivot Tables and resulted in students predicting percentage changes in incident rates.
One student said: 'A 'must have' course for any intelligence analyst - experienced or new to the role'.
• Final day presentations by all students in relation to their Strategic project. Topics included:
o Suicides in Prison and the link to Mental Health issues.
o Legal Highs and the need for education not legislation.
o Positive Discrimination in favour of women in Executive positions to reduce corporate insider crime and improve corporate governance.
Overall our students said:
• 'Thanks to Tony & Martha for delivering a valuable, enjoyable and worthwhile course'.
• 'High quality presentations with varied and interesting content'.
In the 4 months following the course, students will be required to submit a Work-Based Strategic Report as part of PDA requirement.
Sadly our Nigerian friends (Bernard, Barry, Charles, Kenneth and Banjo) who attended the Unit 1 course in May were not able to attend this course. We hope to see them all again in the near future.

Okay, I freely admit I hardly excelled in English Literature. However, I found this particular high school English class very insightful. Clearly, I was learning a good deal about literature whether or not it was reflected in my assignments. No matter. Because of my less than stellar grades my high school counselors decided to move me to another English class. Apparently, a class that wasn't as challenging as English Lit. Even with the best of intentions, it appears my high school counselors hardly did me a favor. By transferring me to a class that was, shall we say, less challenging, my writing career could have been permanently stalled by a poor decision. In spite of this setback I continued to write while in high school and enjoyed telling stories, if only to my fellow classmates. You can't stop a writer from writing. It's what writers do. It's what they have to do.
Bill Tuning sat next to me in high school English Lit and he and I shared a love of reading and storytelling. Bill was blessed with natural talent and one day dreamed of becoming a novelist. He had a sharp wit and even dabbled in music on occasion. Bill played a mean cornet in the high school band and music was another love we both shared. While I often struggled with writing, it came easily to Bill and he was able to quickly knock out a number of papers. Because Tuning was so prolific, he even wrote for the school newspaper that was published weekly. Because we often batted ideas back and forth, we were able to convince our English Literature teacher to allow us to collaborate on a story. Luckily, she eventually agreed to let us work as a team, although we were given the feeling that somehow we were breaking the rules.
What I find especially ironic is the future careers of my fellow classmates. They were far more talented than myself when it came to writing and continually received higher grades. I'll admit I often felt like a dunce compared to my more literate pals, but I simply never gave up on the dream of storytelling. One would assumed they had gone on to careers in journalism or some other form of writing. Heck, they could have written copy for an advertising agency or sought an editing career in a publishing house. Sadly, no one, with the exception of myself, ever dared become a writer even though most were far more talented. On a sad note, my old collaborator, Bill Tuning never achieved his goal of becoming a famous novelist. Distraught by his lack of success as a writer, he simply drowned his sorrows in booze. I learned of his untimely passing on one of my many trips to my home town of Santa Barbara.
As I said earlier, you can't stop a writer from writing. It's what we do. Since my high school days I've done my fair share of writing that has included books, films and television shows. None of it was great, mind you, but I continued to learn and move forward. I began with a yellow legal pad, migrated to an old Smith Corona, and now use an Apple laptop. Much like my Santa Barbara High School days, I'm still learning to write. Recently, I joined with my old pal, Richard Sherman to create a new book for Disney. Richard and I were lucky enough to work with another talented storyteller named, Walt Disney. As expected, our new book was inspired by our famous boss and should you be curious, our book will be introduced at D23 in Anaheim in a couple months. Stop by and say hello to Richard Sherman and myself. Bring a copy of our new book, and we'll be delighted to sign it.

Phil Ford
I've been meaning to write about The Big Combo for a while. The Big Combo is a 1954 film noir that's now considered a small classic. But when it was made, few would have thought to consider it as anything other than a cheap, nasty, disposable B-picture for drunks to sleep through at the bottom end of a double-feature. Viewers nowadays are more likely to be struck by its expressionistic high-contrast lighting — The Big Combo is the apotheosis of film noir's characteristic visual style. The man who did more than anyone to cement that style was John Alton, The Big Combo's cinematographer. (This site has a wonderful collection of Alton's high-contrast noir images.) Alton called it "mystery lighting," and it pervades this scene from The Big Combo, where the henchmen of the big boss, Mr. Brown, have kidnapped the hero, Lt. Diamond, and try some "enhanced interrogation techniques" on him. Mr. Brown shows up, though, and shows these amateurs some real technique, with a radio and a hearing aid:
I showed this film in the course on cold war American music that I did a couple of years ago at the University of Texas. I like to use The Big Combo, not for its musical underscore so much as for its use of diegetic music — notably its use of Chopin's C sharp minor scherzo as the leitmotif of Alicia, a classical pianist who has fallen into the noir sewer and has become Mr. Brown's gun moll. This particular scherzo is famous for its Jekyll/Hyde dualistic character — the demonic octave passages in C sharp minor bluntly juxtaposed to angelic chorales (with tinkly cascading figures) in the enharmonic major, D flat — and its repeated appearance in this film (at a concert, on the phonograph) says something about Alicia's character.
And then, of course, there's the use of merry dance-band jazz as a torture device. Noir excels at this sort of thing: the calculated desecration of an emotion, or, rather, desecration of the conventional icon or sign of that emotion. One classic example of this is the opening image from David Lynch's neo-noir Blue Velvet, where the camera pans across blue sky, white picket fence, red roses — a great icon of suburban contentment — and we then see the man watering the roses struck down with a heart attack, with the camera sinking down into the dirt beneath the lawn to reveal the seething insect life beneath. Noir always wants to show us what lies beneath. Its technique is (a) to show us something that is not only cheery or wholesome but that also registers on our nervous system as an emblem or sign of cheeriness, and (b) to place that thing in a situation where its emotion is emptied out and what is left is the husk of the sign: the conventional sign is revealed as just that, a convention, a dead letter, the empty mask of a vanished emotion that mocks our sentimentality. You like crazy drums, Lieutenant? Have a good time. Noir makes the sinister out of the sweet, and tells us it was always sinister—only now you see it.
I was thinking about this when I read Suzanne Cusick's recent article on music as an implement of torture. Writes Cusick:
As press reports conflating music's use on the battlefield with its use in interrogations proliferated, I began desultory research on a phenomenon of the current "global war on terror" that particularly wounds me as a musician — wounds me in that part of my sensibility that remains residually invested in the notion that music is beautiful, even transcendent — is a practice whose contemplation would always lead me to contemplation of bodies and pleasures. Not bodies in pain.
But that's the point, isn't it? If music is what lets us feel and express love, then let it serve hate; if it soothes our sore bodies and nerves, then let it hurt; if it lets us feel the humanity of our fellow creatures, and lets us experience our own humanity, then let it dehumanize, brutalize, and degrade. And — this is the important part, the part that the apologists for torture affect not to understand — this is a lesson that the state wishes all of us to learn, not only those it tortures. Torture is a pedagogical principle: it teaches us that what we thought was beautiful, or transcendent, or sacred, is in fact as foul as anything else. One of Charles Manson's "family" told John Gilmore that Manson had planned to kill celebrities like Frank Sinatra and Liz Taylor because "that's how you put the fear into people—you butcher what they dream of being. These are all the gilded replicas of fame and happiness, and when you smash them you can go right into the heart of the dark." And this was a philosophy Manson learned in prison: "like a dog that's been whipped and chained and learned only the whip and the chain, there wasn't even a yearning to be free. There was only the whip and the chain."* The state that tortures wants to bring its people to this same condition; like Manson, it wants to teach us that there is nothing but the whip and the chain. If there is no transcendence, in music or anything else, there is nothing left to hope for, nothing to aspire to beyond the whip and the chain, and then whip and chain will become our aspiration; we will have learned our civic lesson, and we, too, will bend to the will of the torturers.
This is why it matters when music becomes an instrument of torture. When the Society of Ethnomusicology published a statement against torture, the response in the right-wing commentariat was, predictably, dismissive: who cares that we made some guy listen to rap against his will? My upstairs neighbor does that to me every day! And: who cares what a bunch of ethnomusicologists think? Even if you oppose torture, you might think that music, compared to waterboarding and cold cells, is a minor concern. But I don't think it is.
This is why I respectfully suggest that my own scholarly association, the American Musicological Society, draft its own statement against torture. Granted, this would be a symbolic gesture, but what I've been arguing here is that torture itself is in part a symbolic gesture. If the torturers want to put the fear into us by smashing our icons, we can only resist by insisting that what we love is not yet theirs to destroy. [UPDATE: I changed my mind about this — see my follow-up post here.]

Getting rid of hot microglia

In vivo Positron Emission Tomography Imaging Demonstrates Diminished Microglial Activation after Fingolimod Treatment in an Animal Model of Multiple Sclerosis.
J Nucl Med. 2015 Jan 8. pii: jnumed.114.149955. [Epub ahead of print]
There is a great need for the monitoring of microglial activation surrounding multiple sclerosis lesions as this is thought to be driving the widespread neuronal damage. Recently, 'second generation' positron emission tomography (PET) radioligands have been developed which can reveal the extent of microglial activation by quantifying the increased expression of the 18 kDa translocator (TSPO) protein. Here, we investigate whether PET imaging can be used to demonstrate the reduction in microglial activation surrounding a chronic focal multiple sclerosis (MS)-like lesion following treatment with fingolimod, an established MS therapy.
METHODS: Chronic focal experimental autoimmune encephalitis (EAE)-like lesions were induced in Lewis rats (n = 24) via stereotaxic intrastriatal injection of heat-killed bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and subsequent activation using an intradermal injection of BCG in complete Freund's adjuvant. This results in a delayed type hypersensitivity (DTH)-like EAE-lesion. The extent of neuroinflammation surrounding the lesion was measured using 18F-GE180 as a PET radioligand. The imaging was performed before and after treatment with fingolimod (0.3 mg/kg/day po, 28 days) or vehicle as a control. In addition to this, autoradiography and immunohistochemistry experiments were performed to verify the in vivo results.
RESULTS:The chronic DTH-EAE lesion led to increased ligand binding in the ipsilateral compared to contralateral hemisphere when PET imaging was performed with the TSPO-binding radioligand 18F-GE180. Treatment with fingolimod led to highly significant reduction in the binding potential, which could be demonstrated using both in vivo and ex vivo imaging (fingolimod vs. vehicle treatment, p<0.0001). The area of increased 18F-GE180 signal mapped closely to the area of activated microglial cells detected by immunohistochemistry.
CONCLUSION:PET-imaging, unlike magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), can be used to visualise the microglial activation surrounding a chronic DTH-EAE lesion. Importantly, treatment effect of fingolimod can be monitored in vivo by measuring the degree of microglial activation surrounding the chronic DTH-EAE lesion. This work gives promise for introduction of new outcome measures applicable in treatment studies of progressive MS.
This study suggests that we have a tool to measure hot microglia it is a short-activing radioactive tracer,in this can it is a
8 kDa translocator (TSPO) protein, another previously used is the benzodiazapine receptor. In this study the hot microglia were blocked by fingolimod. This will block the inflammatory penubra and blockinflammatory lesion formation,but what we need to block is the microglial inflammation in progressive disease. Can fingolimod do this in progressive MS, apparently not based on the recent failings in PPMS or are hot microglia a smokescreen, I somehow suspect not. Could this be useful in humans
Image reveals higher levels of inflammation-associated translocator protein (orange/red) in the thalamus and other brain regions of chronic pain patients.
I guess so as images have
now just been shown in humans
in pain in the thalamus. Maybe this can be used to monitor progression in MS.

MP Ramsey pushes the government to protect good Canadian jobs and labour standards (June 12, 2017)
June 13th, 2017 - 12:26pm
Ms. Tracey Ramsey (Essex, NDP):
Mr. Speaker, two weeks ago, the President of the United States officially put on notice the renegotiation of NAFTA, meaning we are currently within the 90-day window of the process.
On July 17, the U.S. will reveal its final priorities, yet Canadians still do not know what the Liberal government will prioritize. Canadians workers are tired of being left out of the conversation when their livelihoods are at stake. They deserve to have their jobs clearly defended by the government, and the clock is ticking.
Will the Liberals stand up for good jobs and protect our labour standards that Canadians have fought to achieve?
Hon. Andrew Leslie (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Foreign Affairs (Canada-U.S. Relations), Lib.):
Mr. Speaker, simply put, yes, we will.
Trade agreements need to grow and mature, as the economy grows and matures. NAFTA has been tweaked, modified, and amended 11 times since its inception. We have invited Canadians to share their ideas and priorities on the modernization of NAFTA by going on to the applicable websites.
We will always stand up for our national economic interests, Canadian values, and Canadian jobs.

ENABLE Platform
Our ENABLE Platform is a set of integrated services designed to establish, optimise and maintain food fortification and safety programs, mostly in low and middle income countries (LMIC) around the world.
ENABLE builds on the highly successful GAIN Premix Facility that has enabled local food companies in Africa and Asia to secure easy access to high quality, safe, and affordable vitamin and mineral premixes.
The ENABLE Platform integrates four facilities providing services at both global and national level: procurement, credit, audit and technical assistance and capacity building services. Its aim is to serve as a hub for food fortification quality and food safety improvement and strengthen national systems to improve access to safe and nutritious foods through:
- developing and providing global guidance on good practice in food quality and safety
- piloting and scaling up models for improved regulatory monitoring
- supporting coordination and building partnerships in country between the essential national stakeholders as well as technical partners and
- directly delivering services to stakeholders to improve quality and adherence to standards across the fortification sector and for national programs.
Our work through the ENABLE Platform is aligned with and supports the key outcomes on the Arusha 2015 global summit on food fortification including improvement in oversight and enforcement of food fortification standards and regulations.
Through ENABLE we support governments seeking to mandate fortification, advocate for the waiving of import duties and taxes on vitamin and mineral premixes for food fortification and encourage investment in regulatory systems. We offer technical support and professional training to build producers' and regulators' capacity for food testing and enforcing transparent quality standards, and introduction of quality systems and processes for food producers.
GAIN Premix Facility
The GAIN Premix Facility (GPF) is a centralised procurement hub with validated suppliers offering quality-assured vitamin and mineral premixes, analytical devices and fortification inputs.
With an established supplier base of 19 premix blenders, 15 micronutrient suppliers and 7 micronutrient powder producers, the GPF offers services to industries, international organizations such as the World Food Programme (WFP) and governments continue to turn to this audited suppliers list as the standard for quality premix.
Through its tender mechanism and long-term supply agreements with suppliers, reductions in cost of standard premixes over the years of up to 20% have been achieved.
Read our GPF Case Studies here
Download GAIN's Terms and Conditions for the Purchase of Goods 2015 here
Download GAIN's Terms and Conditions for the Sale of Goods 2015 here
ENABLE offers credit for procurement of quality inputs such as vitamin and mineral premixes for fortified foods. Tailored credit solutions and terms are available to clients to help them to access the GPF or meeting the upfront costs of purchasing fortification inputs.
Audit & Assessment
It is essential that audits and assessments of government food control agencies, private laboratories, food processors and premix suppliers are undertaken in order to target capacity building appropriately so that the quality of national food fortification and safety programs improves. The Audit & Assessment Facility conducts audits across food industries; laboratories and food control agencies; vitamin and mineral premixes blenders, micronutrient manufacturers and micronutrient powder suppliers.
Capacity Building
Improved national systems for compliance to standards are essential for both impactful and sustainable food fortification and safety programs. Our capacity building services facilitate the establishment or strengthening of proven and replicable models for the delivery of quality fortification and food safety. For example, we support the development of standards and legislation, integration of management information systems for regulatory monitoring, the establishment of national premix supply systems; online food fortification training portals; designing and training on good food fortification practices and food safety processes including good manufacturing practices (GMP), hazard analysis of critical control points (HACCP) and good hygiene practices (GHP). We also work with countries to adapt global good practice in food quality and safety to local contexts as well as with partners to co-create innovations and solutions on challenges around food quality and safety.

Warner Bros. Pictures has set John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein, the directors of "Vacation" and the upcoming "Game Night," have entered negotiations to helm the DC films entry "Flashpoint".
The project has been on hold while actor Ezra Miller has been filming the "Fantastic Beasts" sequel, but with his schedule now clear and with a fresh rewrite of the script that leans more comedic than previously indicated, the studio has picked the pair to take the helm of this DC extended universe film focused on Miller's The Flash.
Daley and Goldstein are also the writers of the "Horrible Bosses" films and have experience in the superhero genre, penning the first drafts for last year's "Spider-Man: Homecoming". It has previously been reported that several different members of the Justice League cast will reprise their roles, but with the new draft it's not clear if any will still appear.
Both Seth Grahame-Smith and Rick Famuyiwa were previously attached to the film and dropped out, while Robert Zemeckis was the most recently rumored candidate to take over.
