Andrew Cartmel Clarifies Ben Aaronovitch "New Series" Comments
Last week at while speaking at a Islington's Archeology and History Society event former Doctor Who script editor Andrew Carmel (1987-1989) mentioned the dreaded omnirumour stating:
They found some episodes in Nigeria, and there's rumours of more to come. I think we might get all the missing Troughtons. There were rumours for years that there was a cache in Australia, they are now actively going around the world to find them.
Far more tantilising was the prospect of what came next as he went on to mention Remembrance of the Daleks writer and bestselling author Ben Aaronovitch saying that "He has written a Doctor Who story, ready to go".
This, it would seem is not the case and Andrew has since written on his Facebook page about how out of control the rumour mill had gotten with what was actually said.
Both are, I'm afraid, wild exaggerations — an example of "Chinese whispers". I said that there is a good chance that more lost episodes will be found and I hope they will find them all. As for Ben, I merely said he has a great idea for a Doctor Who story (which he does). But no one has asked him to work on the show. Sorry to disappoint.
Alas, it seems we are not going to be getting an Aaronovitch script in series eight, but on the plus side we now know that should he be asked he has one lined up and ready to go.
What are your thoughts, do you think that Ben could deliver the goods in the world of new Who? Do you think Cartmel knows more than he is letting on about? You know where to put your words of wisdom folks.

Would love to see Ben Aaronovitch back, Remembrance was one of my favourites as a kid.
Must get around to reading his novels, which were recommended to me by the chap behind the till at my local Waterstones, just that life and Who get in my way.
I think that Ben would be a good person to come in on the new version of Doctor Who. It would show the Nu Who fans that people from the Classic Era DO know how to write!
I do not believe anyone has the right to use abusive and insulting language against others – it's just trolling. How would you feel if I called you a liar and a hypocrite?
Well, the fact that Andrew Cartmel thinks it is a good script is likely to put the kybosh on it being commissioned. Lets not forget that, while some may disagree, Andrew Cartmel's three years as Script Editor were three of the five worst years the show ever had – the other two being Tom Baker and Colin Bakers' last seasons.
The best writers of the original series are mostly dead. The only two exceptions are Terrance Dicks and Eric Saward.
Ben did a great job with Remembrance, and that serial stands as Sylvester's finest hour as the Doctor. Battlefield, in contrast, was utter garbage. The saving grace, however, is that it is nowhere near as bad as Time And The Rani, Paradise Towers, or the embarrasing Happiness Patrol. Or Delta. Or
On a completely train thought… I often if Sydney Newman ever watched Happiness Patrol and what he thought of it. If I had had created Dr Who back in the 60s and watched Happiness Patrol or Battlefield or Paradise Towers, I would have cried. And cried. Writers too preoccupied with trying to make political statements (Graeme Curry) and writing garbage as a consequence. And, I dont think his career has been that distinguished since, if im not mistaken. No surprises there.
Andrew Cartmel raised the quality of Doctor Who for the first time in years.
Yes, his first series was terrible, his second hit and miss (but no more then the program is now). Season 26 was brilliant, and stands as one of the best in the program's history.
Of course this is a matter of opinion, but the myth that Doctor Who was unwatchable in it's last years was spread by tabloids and non-fans. It's sad to see it still being spread even now.
Don't forget what happened with So Vile a Sin. If any old-series author is commissioned to write for the new series, it won't be Ben Aaronovitch.
On the one hand, I'd love to see Aaronovitch get a go. On the other hand, the format for New Who seems so entrenched and immovable that I'm not sure any writer could really make an individual impact. Every episode seems to turn out exactly the same regardless. The days of "authorship" of Who stories are long gone.
Yes, I loved Remembrance and Battlefield, so would like to see what he could do with the new format. what intrigues me though is that Carmel was speaking at a Archaeology and History event…is classic DW now regarded as Archaeology?!
Except for a small number of fans, most of the Nu Who fans consider the Classic Era as the past and something to be ignored for forgotten.
Regardless of his links to the old series, BA is surely the kind of writer we should encourage? He's an acclaimed and award winning novelist with an interest in DW. Sound familiar? Others that would fit would be Stephen Baxter and CJ Sansom (for an historical). Biggest disappointment of the new series so far has been its the same old names – bit of new blood wouldn't go amiss.
Ben's a great writer. His Peter Grant series of novels are superb and one of the main characters Thomas Nightingale is a little Doctorish as well.
I can't understand why he's never been asked to write for the reboot, when charlatans like Neil Gaiman get commissioned.
From what I have seen, neither RTD or Moffat want anyone from the Classic era back on the show in any form. Notice that in the 50th, Tom Baker was NOT addressed as the Doctor, but as the Caretaker. It seems that the policy is to ignore anyone and anything that has to do with the classic era.
Apart from all the old Doctors seen in the Gallifrey sequence, the old Doctors seen in Name, Davros, Daleks, Cybermen, Macra, The Master, UNIT, Sarah Jane, K9 …
Outside of Davros, Sarah Jane, and K-9, the ONLY appearances of the old companions was in pictures in the 50th anniversary story! And with so many of the former companions and Doctors getting up there in years, we need to get them out there to be seen.
Your posts are coloured by your dislike of Moffat – whatever he did, you'd complain.
In the classic series, outside of anniversaries only one story features an old Doctor alongside a new one, and old companions rarely reappeared, excepting the Brig. Why should the new one be any different? There has, in fact, especially since Moffat took over, been much more of a openness to the old series, for example the old Doctors appearing in The Eleventh Hour.
I would be quite happy for the show to concentrate on the future, with a new Dr rather than spend it's time looking backwards at a supposed Golden Age.
I admit, I am not a fan of Moffat. But, there is a old expression: Those who ignore the past are doomed to repeat it. Mofat's refusal to remember the past, or to rewrite for his own purposes, destroys everything that the classic series was and is.
Harry, these former Doctor's are not actually Timelords. They are all too physically different to return. It would be nothing short of tokenistic to out them in. I know Moffat explained away Davidon being older in Time Crash as some sort of side effect on him being brought into 10s timestream, but even that was years ago now.
The classic Doctors are wonderful but they are simply too old. No, I'm not being ageist, just realistic. There are constant reminders of the classic series in modern Who.
When Jon Pertwee returned in the Five Doctors it was only 9 years since his last appearance. It is 30 years since Davison's (not inc TC), 28 years since Colin's and 25 since McCoy's classic run ended (ok, 18 if you count the TV movie).
Bringing back the old Doctor's is about nostalgia for our youths not about trying to make a great TV show.
And stop relying on Facebook and Twitter for your viewer feedback, clearly you're going to get younger viewers. However, my 13 and 10 year old step kids love watching old Who. We just watched Caves of Androzani. There, even Androzani was mentioned in the new series!
HELLO! When it comes to companions, several of them are still active! William Russell, Carole Ann Ford, Deborah Watling among others, are still active even though they are up there in years, along with Katy Manning! And I am not saying what I am saying just because of Facebook or Twitter! I say this because it is my opinion, my feelings on the matter. To ignore companions of old, to only show them via photographs, is a DISGRACE to the people who have portrayed them!!!! And as far as the previous Doctors, you could have used clips from other stories to fill them in. It seems, as I have said before, Moffat and the BBC DO NOT WANT anyone who worked during the Classic Era to work on anything associated with Nu Who!
"charlatans like Neil Gaiman get commissioned."

My mother says that fanfiction doesn't count as reading because "it isn't nearly as good as the stuff that's published. You're not going to find something online that will win a Booker Prize."
Please reblog if you count fan fiction as reading, or if the fanfiction you've read is equally as good as published novels. I want to see the figures.

The Story of Kyle
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid from my class walking home from school. His name was Kyle. It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday? He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him. They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He looked up, and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My heart went out to him. So I jogged over to him, and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, I saw a tear in his eye. As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. They really should get lives." He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!" There was a big smile on his face. It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books and asked him where he lived. As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I would have never hung out with a private school kid before, but we talked all the way home, and I carried his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted to play football on Saturday with me and my friends. He said yes.
We hung out all weekend, and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him. And my friends thought the same of him. Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors, we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke. I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem. He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class. I teased him all the time about being a nerd. He had to prepare a speech for graduation. I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak.
On graduation day, I saw Kyle. He looked great. He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school. He filled out and actually looked good in glasses. He had more dates than me and all the girls loved him! Boy, sometimes I was jealous. Today was one of those days. I could see that he was nervous about his speech, so I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!" He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled. "Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach — but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them. I am going to tell you a story." I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to kill himself over the weekend. He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home. He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile. "Thankfully, I was saved. My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment. I saw his mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile. Not until that moment did I realize its depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions. With one small gesture, you can change a person's life.
Happy birthday to our sweet, hardworking maknae!
You're so amazingly talented and humble and dedicated for your age, sometimes it still surprises me to remember just how old you are.
You're a great inspiration to this lazy and apathetic noona and I will always be watching you and cheering you on. May you always be striving to realise your dreams. May you never give up. May you always make your friends, fans and family proud.
Your noona.

3 Retail Stocks You Need To Sell
Chris is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The financial health of the American consumer clearly has pulled back a little. Earlier last week, we saw a lackluster gain in retail sales that was propped up by strength in autos, pointing to cutbacks in other things like restaurants and electronics.
Of course, as exciting as it is to find companies that can grow even in a tough environment, it is equally important to find those retailers that should be avoided because of weak fundamentals. These stocks will get hammered if the consumer slowdown continues — thus, you must either sell or avoid them until their fundamental conditions improve.
A hot retailer cools off
Aeropostale (NYSE: ARO) was once a hot growth stock, but it seems to have lost the always-fickle teen market. Although management is said to be scrambling to find the styles that recapture the market, the jury is still out on how successful Aeropostale will be going into the critical back-to-school shopping season. Sales have been flat all year, and analysts have been lowering their estimates for this year and 2014. Portfolio Grader downgraded Aeropostale shares to an "F" back in March, and issued a "strong sell" recommendation.
While merchandise at Aeropostale has progressively improved over the past 12-18 months, the retailer remains in the grasp of an aggressive discounting cycle that it seemingly cannot break free from in efforts to win over to the growing cost-savvy consumer. This deep-discounting program certainly has achieved what it was meant to do - boosting merchandise sales by 7% - but if rumors of its end are true, Aeropostale will not be able to sustain its recent progress. On the bright side, the retailer signed a licensing deal with Distribuidora Liverpool SA de CV that will enable Aeropostale to open shops within Liverpool department stores across Mexico, but many are unsure as to how it will do within the Mexican demographic.
Can this company turn it around?
The financial media has been talking of the potential for a turnaround at JCPenney (NYSE: JCP) for well more than a year now. It has not happened, and the retailer has changed directions once again. If JCPenney is ever successful in righting the ship, those improvements will show in Portfolio Grader — but that time is not now. JCP has had to tap into its credit lines to provide operating capital and likely will have to raise more capital before much longer.
JCPenney last released its earnings in May, missing the analysts' consensus estimate of ($0.86) by $0.45. Eight analysts have rated the stock a sell, and 12 have assigned a hold rating. Additionally, news broke in early May that JCPenney stores were quietly placing new stickers over their old prices, often doubling the price, then marking it down as a "sale." Simply put, JCPenney is a lottery ticket given its current state. I recommend to stay away from JCPenney until it can provethat it's the revered retailer it use to be.
Little margin for error
For Kohl's (NYSE: KSS), the third quarter is historically the second-highest for sales but only the third-highest for profits, suggesting the company relies on bigger back-to-school markdowns than other retailers mentioned.
Unfortunately, relying on discounts can cut both ways. Since Kohl's loves back-to-school sales, it will get more penny-pinching shoppers this season. At the same time, you could also posit that its customers pinch pennies more to begin with. If the latter is the case, Kohl's could feel the sting of higher electricity bills even more than some rivals.
Either way, there's not much room for error. Kohl's is currently slated to post a mere 1.4% improvement in sales during the upcoming quarter, and a 4% improvement in profits. Any softness in those numbers could lead to a sales decline or earnings miss, either of which could prompt a significant sell-off.
A bright spot: Kohl's is one of the few retail stocks that actually boasts a decent dividend — consistent income perfect for bumps like a short-term back-to-school swoon.
Foolish bottom line
Retail stocks in general are not the popular choice for investors in today's economy, and the aforementioned stocks are certainly not the preference of the general populous. If the three companies above want to get back on track, they must make some alterations, but nonetheless, investors should still keep on eye on them.
The retail space is in the midst of the biggest paradigm shift since mail order took off at the turn of last century. Only those most forward-looking and capable companies will survive, and they'll handsomely reward those investors who understand the landscape.

Found February 04, 2013 on Metta Chronicles:
PLAYERS: Jackie Robinson
On this day in 1965, Jackie Robinson is named Director of Communication for WNBC in New York City, becoming the first African American executive of a major radio-TV network. Jackie Robinson's contributions go far beyond the baseball diamond. By becoming the first executive of a major TV station, Robinson continued to open doors for African Americans. In 1947, Jackie Robinson catalyzed the integration of professional sports in America by breaking the color barrier in baseball. In sports, no matter what "good" you do, legacies still depend on winning. During a MLB-career that spanned from 1947-1956, Robinson was a six-time all-star, helped the Dodgers win the title in 1955, and finished with a career batting average of .311. He was later inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. "A life is not important," Robinson once said, "except in the impact it has on other lives."

They have a common origin, mesenchyme.
Adipose, bone, and blood (like all connective tissues) are derived from mesenchyme, an embryonic tissue. Also common to all connective tissues is the presence of cells and an extracellular matrix that consists of fibers bathed in ground substance.
Which tissue type is responsible for regulating and controlling body functions?
nervous tissue; Nervous tissue is the main component of the nervous system, which regulates and controls body functions. Note: the other control system of the body is the endocrine system, which is primarily composed of glandular epithelial tissue.
The hypodermis is ________. a)
composed primarily of adipose tissue
b) the third region of the skin
c) part of the dermis
d) part of the epidermis
composed primarily of adipose tissue
Besides protection, the skin functions to ________.
prevent dehydration, regulate temperature, and synthesize vitamin D
From deep to superficial, the layers of the epidermis of thin skin are ________.
stratum basale, stratum spinosum, stratum granulosum, stratum corneum

Precision Farms in East County is without $90,000 in farm equipment after the machinery was burned in and early-morning fire July 29.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office's helicopter unit located the fire at 4282 222nd Street East, Bradenton, after it was located by deputies on the ground. A total of three tractors, including one that was completely burned, and a minivan and other farming equipment were affected by the blaze, a sheriff's office report states.
The fire department arrived on scene and the fire marshall determined that the fire was "suspicious."
There are no suspects at this time, the report states.

My name is Warren Contreras and I'm an old guy from Oregon that retired in
September 2000, but I needed something to do and took up making money on the
Internet as a hobby. Where else can you find a hobby that puts money IN your
pocket instead of taking it OUT?
When I started, my goal was to average an extra $1,000 a month so my wife and I could make more use of the Condo system we bought to enjoy retirement. I Never Realized How Easy It Would Be!
All it takes is time and patience to grow as you go. I didn't want to spend the small amount we get to live on each month, so my policy from day one was to only use money I made online, then expand on that.
I started using Oldbuddy as a user name when I joined an online earning program called Bring Your Buddy and even though the program has since disolved, the name stuck. By having something catchy and interesting, it makes it easy for people to find you and that's my goal.
Then I read a discussion asking if Google had a policy against all .info domains, since so few of them show up on any search results. I took that as a challenge and set a goal to have this on the first page of results for a search on 'oldbuddy' by the end of June, 2007. There's a link on your left to check to see if it's still there. My Main Agenda
I don't like pulling the wool over anyone's eyes, so I'll tell everyone right now that I do have my own agenda and it's NOT hidden.
In my search for the perfect money making plan that lasted over twelve years, I finally landed on what I feel is the one for me. Everything else I do online leads to this and I plan to make it my bonus retirement income for the rest of my life. It may or may not work for you, but I can still help with whatever you choose if you contact me.
If you live in the United States and use (or would like to use) a Smartphone, do yourself a favor and Click Here for my blog.
The thing I like best about this plan, is I started with no extra out of pocket expense. I had an old clunky cellphone with 300 minutes a month and a 25 cent fee per text message that cost me over $35 a month, so I traded that service for one that was $29 a month with unlimited calls and texts and if I am near Wi-Fi (most places today) I can get online too. That was enough to make me very happy, but now that I have a few friends doing it too, I end up with more money in my pocket every month!
Then in summer 2014 I discovered Karma WiFi and now it's even easier to get online. I did have to dig into my Internet money and spend $99 to buy the Karma device, but I don't think I will have any problem finding other people to try it out and keep my Data Balance filled up for free. I understand the average person uses less than 500Mb a month and I shared it enough to get 650Mb my first two days. ===================================================
The Best Places Oldbuddy Advertises
(Click each link to open in a new Window)
Traffic Swirl <- Click to read more about this and JOIN FREE.
|This is by far my favorite free advertising. It's a traffic exchange like many others, but they have a unique twist I LOVE. Instead of spending my time clicking for credits, I focus on collecting Tokens that I use to bribe other members to join programs that make us money. I'm not talking about pennies either. Sign up with my link above and I can show you exactly how I do it.
EarnEarn.org <- JOIN for a one time $2 advertising purchase.
I started out using FREE advertising and got pretty good at it, but then as always seems to happen the Internet evolved and it is a lot harder to get any GOOD advertising for free anymore.
So I evolved too and now I pay for advertising, but only if it pays me back a lot more!
No I'm not kidding. I paid a one time $2 fee to join this website and now I keep getting payments direct to my pocket as well as more advertising directed at people who are not opposed to spending money online. I leave the tire kickers for those who haven't figured out there is no money in free.

Everyone deserves to eat: Andre Green's kitchen wisdom
Andre Green's mission is both simple and heartfelt: no one should go hungry. It's a mantra that has worked for him in his more than seven years serving food to the homeless and poor.
After a long stint in the kitchen at the East Oakland Community Project, Green began cooking for Berkeley's most vulnerable residents on Valentine's Day this year, as the new food services coordinator for Berkeley Food & Housing Project. The non-profit group serves hot meals to homeless men, women, and children from food purchased from the Alameda County Community Food Bank and wholesale grocery stores, along with donations from individuals, organizations, and businesses. … Continue reading »
The Bread Project: Cooking up a future for people in need
Pat Van Valkenburgh is the kind of person that The Bread Project hopes to help. A stay-at-home mom who home-schooled her two children until they attended Berkeley High School, Van Valkenburgh desperately needed a job when her construction worker husband became unemployed. Since she enjoyed cooking, she thought the nonprofit's nine-week café training program, which focuses on basic kitchen, food service, and barista skills, was a good fit and would help her find a job in the restaurant industry.
Van Valkenburgh didn't have to look far for work: she was snapped up by the organization to manage the café it runs out of the Berkeley Adult School, where the program for low-income job seekers, started by Susan Phillips and Lucie Buchbinder in 2000, has been housed since 2003.
The part-time gig has made all the difference during tough economic times; Van Valkenburgh's family has held on to their home and health insurance. (Both her kids, who attended the Academic Choice School at BHS, currently study at local community colleges and intend to transfer to UC.) … Continue reading »
Dense, airy, crusty or soft: Berkeley's best baguettes
As a child growing up in Berkeley, I've only tasted pre-sliced bread twice. When I was younger, my family traveled to Europe and I got to eat real French baguettes. Today, we live a few blocks from a bakery and get fresh bread every morning, like many Berkeley residents.
Our city is filled with world-class bakeries ranging from La Farine in north Berkeley to the Bread Garden near the Claremont hotel — and everything in between.

Thank god. I dinged 80 back in December and I have never used Divine Hymn. It's a terrible spell. Granted, I don't PvP that much anymore, but I understand it shares a cooldown with Psychic Scream. In an emergency type situation, which one would you choose to cast? Divine Hymn = Mass Dispel II.

Are genetically modified organisms (GMOs) a threat to organic agriculture? Are they dangerous when consumed? Do they lead to higher use of chemical herbicides and pesticides? And why aren't GMOs labeled so we know which foods are made with them? We find and discuss the latest news on this critical issue.
We don't mind admitting that honeycrisp apples, a fairly recent newcomer to the world of apples, are our favorite apple for just plain eating. Their tartness balanced with a suggestive sweetness and the snap that comes with biting into one make for one of fall's great gastronomic experiences. The apple, developed at the University of Minnesota in 1960 and released to growers and consumers in 1994, also helps illustrate a common misconception regarding genetically-modified organisms and those developed through hybridization.
The honeycrisp was developed by cross-pollination of two previously known apples: the honeygold, itself a cross between the golden delicious and the honeygold, and the Macoun. While this process can happen naturally by the wind or various pollinators (like bees), the honeycrisp was given help. The trees that produced the honeycrisp were hybridized, much like some of the tomato seed you might have used in your garden (though these are nearly always "sterile" hybrids which do not produce "true" seed or seed that will result in the same hybrid… but they will self-pollinate to produce fruit). (more…)
Mark Bittman, The New York Times columnist recently wrote a blog post supporting California's GMO labeling Prop 37. Nothing surprising there (you can read his column here). Of more interest is the response it brought from Gary Hirshberg of Stoneyfield Organic; you know, the yogurt people. Of course Hirshberg supports the measure. But he makes three outstanding points about the initiative and its (corporate) detractors.
First is that what Prop 37 proposes is already law in 50 other countries around the world. Again, no surprise there; we've heard all the European Union countries, as well as Russia and China (!) require GMO labeling or ban GMOs outright. His third point is also one we're all aware of, a point especially important to organic gardeners and those who wish to keep their families safe: the use of GMOs has led to an explosion in the commercial application of pesticides. If you know someone who belittles your position against GMOs ("they won't hurt you!") be sure they understand this consequence of planting them. (more…)
The controversy generated by the Stanford organic food study continues to grow. It didn't take long for people to recognize that the study assembled data from tests for the wrong thing. But that hasn't stopped supporters of agri-business, corporate food retailers and, yes, GMO-supporters from "we-knew-it-all-along" responses. The responses criticizing the study have served to underscore the genuine reasons we choose organics in the first place.
Worst of the anti-organics responses ("Organic, shmorganic," it whimpers) comes from columnist Roger Cohen in The New York Times. It's an obvious appeal for GMOs based on the logic that GMOs are better capable of feeding a starving world (not true, as studies have shown). And it also derides those who seek to protect their families from pesticides which the Stanford study suggests contaminate 37% of commercially-grown fruits and vegetables. And it bemoans the cost — "Organic is a fable for the pampered of the planet," Cohen writes — while ignoring the fact that subsistence and small-farms make modest livings raising competitively-priced, pesticide-free produce while preserving — nay, improving! — soils, unlike large commercial food operations that deplete soils as they over-use pesticides and fertilizers that are harmful to our waters. Scroll down to the comments section of Cohen's article and note what people have to say: there's the "ha-ha" of organic detractors and then there's the thoughtful arguments of organic supporters who mostly say that Cohen, by focusing his attack on nutrition and price, misses the whole point of organics. Also view The Times letters section addressing the Stanford study. Good stuff! (more…)
Via the Nation of Change website, we learn that Monsanto has contributed $4.2 million dollars to defeat California's GMO labeling initiative. Makes sense. Monsanto holds the patents on a number of GMO crops, many designed to be resistant to Monsanto's widely-used herbicide Roundup. It's a slick way to double sales; you can use all the Roundup you want without hurting your crop if your crop is grown from Monsanto genetically-modified seed. Except… Super Weeds!
And speaking of Roundup… here's a report on a study that found the active ingredient of the product — glyphosate — could cause birth defects. Do we really need genetically modified corn that's resistant to a product that might damage fetuses in the womb?
This article isn't necessarily anti-GMO but it does list anti-initiative contributions from a number of agri-business and chemical companies. And it makes a reasonable point: spending all that money to defeat the labeling initiative might make the public think the pro-GMO side has something to hide. Do they? (more…)
Those following the battle to pass California's Initiative 37 — the bill that will require labeling GMO foods (do we really need to tell you what GMO means?) — will be interested to read The Cornucopia Institute's report "Agribusinesses Owning Natural/Organic Brands Betray Customers: Fund Attack on GMO Labeling Proposal in California." Some of those organic food product companies we all love (sorry) and (maybe) trust have joined with the anti-Prop 37 forces to defeat the initiative. Guess it's the end of a beautiful love affair.
Some other interesting info in the report: 70% of the public supports labeling GMOs (a good thing); "new contributions to fight the measure [have] rolled in from the biotechnology industry and food manufacturers, totaling over $23 million, according to the California Secretary of State. This dwarfs the approximately $3 million contributed by proponents of GE labeling" (very bad news). The post has a chart that graphically shows who the players are. And if you scroll down a bit, on the right margin is an illustration that shows which politicians and government office holders (otherwise known as "public servants") have direct connections to Monsanto. Sad fact there is it's not so surprising. Anyway, go read the report. Knowledge is power. (more…)
Drought has been big news this summer, no more so than regarding its effect on America's corn crop. If there's a silver lining, it's that it has put renewed emphasis on corn raised for energy production (ethanol) and the amount that goes into making high-fructose corn syrup with all its connections to obesity. The down side? What about genetically engineered corn that resists drought?
This article in The Washington Post and a related blog post on its "Wonk Blog" tells us something we might have guessed: Monsanto has developed a so-called drought resistant corn. We're reminded of the dictum that's been bandied about the last several years: Never let a good crisis go to waste. Monsanto, apparently, has taken that to heart. It goes without saying that the claim to drought resistance is something of a stretch.
Is there a silver lining to these articles? Scroll down through the Wonk Blog and find some doubters (enter the Union of Concerned Scientists – PDF format). (more…)
A friend asks, "What's the big deal? You're an organic gardener." ("As best I can," I reply, knowing there are few absolutes in gardening). "Why don't you grow what you need? You want to eat non-GMO corn? Eat the corn you grow. Don't buy it in the store."
If only it were that simple.
Yes, my friend, by being something of a know-it-all, shows how little he knows. The problems associated with GMOs are far more complicated than just avoiding their purchase. There are problems of cross-pollination of GMO crops with crops in our organic garden. There's the loss of biodiversity. And, avoiding GMO products in our grocery stores is not as easy as he thinks it is. (more…)
While most of the GMO attention these days is focused on the upcoming vote on California's "Right To Know" initiative, another GMO controversy has boiled to the surface, this time with apples. Okanagan Specialty Fruits corporation has developed a genetically modified apple — known as the "Arctic Apple" — that does not brown, or at least doesn't brown as quickly, when exposed to the air. The fruits are also not as susceptible to bruising, a problem that results in apples being refused by buyers at both the distribution and consumer levels. The controversy has spread across British Columbia's apple growing regions and now, with articles in The New York Times and other publications, is gaining more focus in America.
The Arctic apple, so far developed as Granny Smiths and Golden Delicious (Galas and Fujis are on the way), contains a synthetic gene that sharply reduces production of polyphenol oxidase, an enzyme responsible for the browning. The introduced gene is taken from the apple itself and then inhibits the production of genes that result in the browning agents. (more…)
It's no surprise that Monsanto, Dupont and others are pouring big money into California to fight the state's GMO labeling referendum which will be on the ballot November 6. How they're doing it — through surrogate organizations — is right out of the grand American political tradition of ironically-named organizations. Front groups help hide the players behind these organizations. And what could be more ironic that hiding the identities of the companies and individuals who are fighting a right-to-know initiative?
AlterNet, the independent news gathering service, estimates that several big front groups will spend $60 to $100 million fighting the initiative. One of the largest is The Coalitition Against Costly Food Labeling. Their website lists such scary articles on topics including how GMO labeling will hurt the poor and limit your food choices. Who exactly is behind the CACFL? The names aren't surprising. According to the article, it's composed of the "Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA), whose members also include Monsanto, BASF, Bayer, Dow and Syngenta, all producers of GMO seed and related products, as well as many large food processors and supermarket chains. (more…)
From Natural News, a public education website anyone interested in keeping up with GMO issues should follow, comes this not-so-surprising information. Disney, at its Florida-based EPCOT Center (Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow) has for years been hosting biologists from the United States Department of Agriculture who have been growing genetically-modified fruits and vegetables. The story was originally broken by Susan Fehrenbacher over at Inhabitant, but it's been no secret. The USDA announced back in 1996 in its Agricultural Research magazine that it was working with Disney "to communicate the science of agriculture. We do this by showcasing various tools — such as biotechnology…" The site, a two-acre facility sponsored by Nestlé USA, is called Living With the Land. Nestlé is one of the world's largest pro-GMO corporations. In 2006, it obtained a patent on a genetically-engineered coffee.
In her original article, Fehrenbacher reported that she was told by EPCOT guides that some of the GMO food grown at Living with the Land is served at EPCOT resort's restaurants. "Ever wonder where those Mickey shaped cucumbers come from?" asks Disney's own Living With the Land web page. (more…)

MILWAUKEE, Wis. (WTAQ) - Small businesses still find it hard to get the credit they need to grow – and experts say it's holding up the economic recovery.
Joe Daniels of the Marquette Center for Global and Economic Studies says small companies normally generate the most jobs coming out of a recession. But Rose Oswald Poels of the Wisconsin Bankers Association says the federal government is not giving banks much leeway to work with small business customers.
And U.S. House Republican Paul Ryan of Janesville says regulators are telling banks to stop lending to those considered to be more risky borrowers – namely small businesses.
Joe Fazio, a bank CEO in West Bend, says many banks are over their limits on construction loans, as regulators try to push them toward more balanced portfolios. And small companies which do get loans are paying more for them.
Daniels says the gap between the Federal Reserve's target rate and the interest charged on commercial loans is just over 4 percent – the largest in 24 years. Ryan says there's a "disconnect" between federal policymakers and bank examiners in the field – and it has to be fixed.
Small businesses represent over 99 percent of all U.S. companies – and they employ more than half of all private sector workers.

Struggling to find a girls name - Please HELP !
I am only 12 weeks along, so i know that i have lots of time to find the perfect name for our little one, but it just seems that EVERY name i think i like either looks odd written down with my last name, or it sounds like a street name. It's very frustrating to me because DH and I had no trouble at all choosing a boys name, but finding a girls name seems to be getting harder and harder for some reason.
ANY suggestions you have for a girls name that would look / sound good with our last name would be MUCH appreciated !
Last Name - Waye.
Thank you everyone.

I have no idea what your style is, so I'll just draw from my favourites!
Cordelia Waye (I think longer, non-word names will sound less like street names with LN Waye!)
Zarya Waye
Leonie Waye
Clarissa Waye
Anastasia Waye (although avoid nn Anna... "Anna Waye" sounds like "anyway"!)
Tallulah Waye (possible nn Lulu, Lula)
Matilda Waye
Beatrix Waye
Bronwen Waye (I love the double "w" sound)

Bear with me for a sec and think Cookie Monster. Yeah, this Cookie Monster: yum, yum, yum, yum, yum.
The shark bean bag chair is both brilliant and scary. And how fitting that an Australian retailer should carry it. You know, because they surf a lot and from my understanding they have their more than fair share of run ins with the razor sharp toothed fishies.
It's $19.95 AU, and you'll need to bring your own beans. 200 litres worth to fill its hungry stomach, otherwise you'll be sitting on a polyester shark skin.
Yum, yum, yum, yum, yum!

I recently moved closer into the city – closer to all the places and things I love. So this week I thought I should share some of my favorite places to eat, shop, and hang out in L.A.:
Tiara Cafe is my place to have brunch on the weekends. It's a pretty pink palace of a restaurant in the middle of the Fashion District – very fun and frivolous in the most stylish and well-executed way. And very opposite the celebrity-infested Hollywood ultra-lounge that's so common around here. They serve up lots of organic and locally grown fare that's unbelievably tasty. And if you've ever wondered what the inside of a jewelry box looked like if we could all fit in it – well, this would be it. They even play jewelry box music during lunch.
I just got an email from Jin Patisserie in Venice, my favorite place to get macaroons, and I am alerted to two things: 1.) that they are making dark chocolate Easter eggs filled with sea salt caramels, and 2.) that it's been a long time since I've been there. Must go soon. It's been quite a crazy month, but what's one more item on the long list of to do's, right?
I am so intrigued by these photos by Philip Karlberg. It's all yummy and pink and very Marie Antoinette, but with a dark underlying message that you can't quite put your finger on. (Other than the chiaroscuro-ish lighting – check out his other work to see what I mean.) Then you remember that hey, you're looking at pictures of yummy cakes, and that was never a bad thing. Love that rose cake, by the way. And gosh, I really want a macaroon. [via]
I just bought a box of macarons from the new and authentically French Paulette in Beverly Hills. If you're in the L.A. area, this one is a must try. Especially because they have a pumpkin-flavored Halloween one right now – jack-o'-lantern face included.

Web Usability
Yesterday I was using a support forum to post some messages and one of the antispam measures they had was the usual reCaptcha AND another text field to enter the two words next to that field. This means I have to enter 4 words for every post. I don't understand why the need for the second field. The forum is not popular at all with just a few posts belonging to the company's customers. While the forum is public, it's meant for the customers only. Are they getting hit so much by spam bots that the bots cracked reCaptcha and they had to use another field? Highly unlikely. This is adding extra friction to the user. It's enough I have to keep refreshing the reCaptcha to get two legible words.
Here's an idea for an anti spam bot measure without using any captchas and without adding any extra work for the user:
First I want to say I don't take any credits for this idea. I read it somewhere long time ago and always wondered how many sites use it knowing reCaptcha and other captchas are so ubiquitous these days. (Unless the sites use both methods.. and more. Good for them). Technically a spam bot, ignoring the sophisticated ones which hopefully are rare, is pretty dumb. A spam bot is an automated script or program which goes to web sites, follows all the links looking for pages which contain forms. Once it finds one, it fills all the form fields. It also specially takes note of text area type of fields. The gold nugget. That's usually the form post or comment which the bot wants to use to unload its message with the spammy urls. The urls which they hope the user clicks on or just for the sake of upping their page ranks (An SEO practice).
Now you can take advantage of the fact that they blindly fill ALL the form fields. The counter measure is that you hide one of the fields, an extra field which has no use to the user. Visually hide it through css or JavaScript as in giving it a "display: none" for example. A dumb bot doesn't know it's hidden and it fills it with data as usual. In your code, you test for that field. If it's not empty, you know the field was filled by a spam bot. If it's empty, you know a human posted the form because they can't see that field.
Even if the form was submitted by a bot, play the innocent and let the form submit successfully and send out a Thank You message without any errors. In the backend, send the form's contents to a black hole! :)

TheMouradiNassereddine: I am going to appreciate it :)
Photography isn't about snapping a picture it is about capturing time and being the keeper of it. Giving time a definition and meaning is in the progress of "taking a picture". And taking is what we do we steal time from these objects and people. We freeze them and take away that second forever…

The charcoal sky and burnt clouds cried their tears of sorrow
Pale faces and back cloths all representing the morrow,
Lingering towards the breathless, the custodian of the key
The chosen single to decide the fate of ones to be free
Not a name to be whispered of thee, as one did…

Valentine's Day Gift Guide: Murray's Cheese LOVE BOX
I'd take a hunk of cheese over a hunk of chocolate any day. And if it were, for example, Valentine's Day, why a basket full of stinky cheeses would really get me blushing.
The folks at Murray's Cheese feel the same way. So in honor of the day for lovers, they've put together the Love Box: a selection of cheese meant to compliment that bottle of bubbly you've got squirreled away. Included are two French Crottin, nuggets of goat cheese aged in Murray's own caves; a heart-shaped Camembert, bloomy ripe from the Hudson Valley; a rich, triple-creamy Delice de Bourgogne; a vial of dark buckwheat honey; and, for the chocolate lover, a threesome of mini chocolate bars from Barcelona.
The basket is on sale now for $49.99 at Murray's (254 Bleecker Street, between 6th & 7th Avenue), or online.
3 Comments
I'm totally with you on the chocolate over the cheese.
That heart-shaped Hudson Valley camembert is also available via Fresh Direct, for those so inclined.
I'd take a hunk over cheese any day :)
Actually, those are both very mild and unstinky cheeses ;)
The delice is very rich and buttery.
The Hudson Valley cheese..well, it's..umm..mild.
