Which works better, the carrot or the stick?
March 20, 2012
I've been trying to put together a large group of people to participate in an artistic performance-based hobby that they all claim to enjoy. I'm the group leader, and it feels like I'm herding cats when it comes to getting people to commit to attending training sessions so that our shows will be of a high quality. I'm constantly altering my plans so that the least experienced people aren't left behind. How can I get people to step up their game and commit to the group without alienating them?
People who participate in after-work sports teams probably aren't professional athletes. People who participate in community theatre groups probably aren't professional actors. Still, there's always that one kickball team that has their shit together enough to dominate the league, or that local theatre production that is genuinely good despite the cast only rehearsing on occasional nights and weekends.
There's obviously individual skill involved in these activities, but a lot of the magic surely comes from dedication to the group and a shared goal.
I'm passionate about improvised comedy, and perform with a few ensembles that put on rather "safe" and "vanilla" shows. Some of my friends from these groups are just as passionate and talented as I am, and together we're trying to start a new ensemble that focuses on edgier, more unconventional shows. We have some friends and acquaintances who have no experience with this hobby, but are upbeat, funny people and are interested in the idea, and are willing to take direction and learn in order to put on a great show down the line.
So, I've been running weekly workshops with these people for the past few months. I teach for free, because I have no interest in making money off of these people. I'm in it because I'd like to bring the finished product to fruition. Unfortunately, some people don't seem to take a free workshop seriously.
As the teacher/director I haven't missed a single session in 4 months. I have some people who have been to every session, and a few who have just missed one or two due to illness or conflicts that they tell me about ahead of time. No problems there.
The problem comes from the fact that about half of my participants are unreliable, and don't seem to care. Almost every week, I get text messages a few hours before our training session like "oops, forgot I had a big assignment due tomorrow, sorry!" or "hey, forgot that I'm supposed to meet a friend for drinks tonight, sorry!", or "just gonna watch a movie tonight!". Basically, excuses that seem to result from a lack of poor planning and a lack of consequence about blowing off the training session.
It's so weird, because when people actually attend they have a great time and thoroughly enjoy themselves. We usually go for drinks after, and everyone raves about how much fun they've had. Anyone who doesn't enjoy is pretty good about flat-out QUITTING and letting me know that they want nothing to do with it.
So, I'm looking for ways to incentivize people to actually show up and participate. Some ideas and discoveries I've made:
- People who have actually performed in front of an audience get bitten by the bug and are far more interested in attending. There's a chicken-and-egg problem because the people who benefit the most from the training sessions are the people who have never performed in a real show before. When we have shows, those people aren't prepared to go on stage, because they haven't been training regularly with the group.
- I simply don't have enough dedicated people yet to tell the non-dedicated people to take a hike. Plus, a big part of my goal is to create NEW improvisers and get them on stage.
- There are currently no penalties for missing class. It's not like they forfeit a portion of their tuition money that they've pre-paid, or that they get put on "probation".
- In some groups I perform with, the penalty for missing a rehearsal is that you aren't allowed to perform in the next show, but that only works because we have a talent pool that is much larger than the minimum number of people to do a show. In this case I need every warm body I can get.
- I'm not out to make a profit, so I initially shied away from charging tuition. Additionally, I feel like some very talented people wouldn't want to pay tuition, or couldn't afford it.
- Some people have suggested that I take money from participants as a deposit, and then refund it if they prove themselves to be dedicated. For instance, that I take $100 from everyone. As soon as they hit some milestone like attending 5 consecutive workshops in a row, I refund it. If they don't hit the goal, they don't get their money back. I'm strongly considering this.
- Additionally, in the interest of attracting new members, we had the idea that newcomers could have 1 or 2 "trial" weeks to see if they like what we're doing before being required to dedicate themselves to the cause.
Any great ideas or anecdotes, oh hive mind? These are my friends, not evil bastards.
I just want them to respect what they claim they're interested in doing, and to take a supposedly fun thing a bit more seriously. I worry that if I start making ultimatums or too many rules I'll alienate everyone completely and be left with nothing.

Do you have a timeframe in place for these sessions? As in, is the start/end date of the entire process clear from the beginning? For a learning/performing opportunity like you describe, I would be a lot more likely to be fully dedicated to something that I know is a short committment with a carrot at the end (6 sessions then PERFORMANCE!) then something that is open-ended with no carrot in sight. You could have cycles of that nature be ongoing so that there's always something in particular you're striving for and so that people can "commit" for a cycle and then step away if they want.

This is the source of your problem. If people subconsciously know that nothing happens if they slack off, they're gonna slack off.
I realize that you don't want to shut them out entirely, but how about a demotion? If it's the lead who keeps slacking off, demote her to a smaller part and get the other chick who's been showing up on time reliably. Yeah, maybe the other chick isn't as empirically talented, but
she shows up and does the work,
which is actually a larger part of the battle.
I know you want the best possible show, but a consistent rehearsal schedule is going to be what does that, not the constant shifting to accomodate flighty-but-talented people. Talent does nothing if the work doesn't get done.
And I've also seen time and again that performances benefit from someone REALLY strong being in charge. If there isn't someone In Control, people can get a little uneasy. You laying down the law finally may also be what finally brings some people around.

From your description, it sounds like people are enjoying the classes a lot, and you're getting new people. That doesn't sound it's broken, so it doesn't need to be fixed. If you try to hassle people for not coming you're going to see a dropoff in attendance, and if your goal is to find new people, that would be bad.
Your other problem is getting trained people for shows. Here I think it's perfectly reasonable to have a policy where only people who come regularly to the workshops are considered for the performances. If your policy for the shows is "any warm body", then there's no downside to skipping workshop.

How are your sessions structured? I would consider naming what you're going to focus on in advance, so people know that they'll learn a particular skill in that class and it's not just going to be the same old warmups, short form games and a long-form game at the end (as fun and useful as that is!). You might start with 'Spontaneity' and then move onto 'Narrative', 'Character', 'Song' etc. People might be less likely to miss a session if they know they'll be learning a specific skill that they can't just pick up on the next week. I think the problem with impro training sometimes is that the line is blurred between 'fun times for two hours' and 'learning a skill'. This is especially so if you're not paying for a course. I wouldn't feel guilty about missing two hours of fun times to finish an assignment, but if it was a 'course' and I knew I was missing a lesson I couldn't make up, well, I would make sure that assignment was done beforehand.

lovedbymarylane: I'm basically presenting multiple years of longform training I picked up at the "famous" improv training centers in Los Angeles: the Upright Citizens Brigade, iO (Improv Olympic) and Second City. The lesson plan varies, but the takehome message is "we work on the Harold, as a group, until it's amazing". There's always room for improvement, as the group is only as strong as its weakest link.
Which might sound boring, but I assure you it's not. It's all anyone does in Chicago, NYC and LA, for good reason.
We're doing this in Melbourne, if you're interested -- I see you're in Ballarat. We have 4 shows in MICF (starting next week) but the goal is to do a full run in the Melbourne Fringe in September/October.

The Harold is just the format; performing it requires many skills that need to be grokked and honed before it can be amazing. So lovedbymarylane's good advice is still appropriate: Let people know this week you're working on edits and narrative, while next week you'll be working on characters.
Also, there's a difference between coaching or teaching new skills and directing. If you're just drilling skills all the time without actually rehearsing, it's going to produce a sloppy product. Conversely, if you're trying to rehearse with performers who haven't had enough education to get through rehearsal without remedial coaching, you're all probably frustrated--and the audience will be too.
Have you considered separating your interests from your goals a bit? Plan a 3-person Harold show on x known date with known performers. Rehearse them. Then hold a drop-in improv salon every week for whoever's interested in just playing around and/or learning new skills.
Lastly, have you considered whether you have spotty attendance because, although people might be interested, you're not effectively teaching the skills you yourself learned? Could you find a mentor, either to help you teach or direct? Improv folks are generous, and I'm sure you could at least find someone more established to email with.

From experience with similar activities I can tell you that the problem is not with you. People just don't always show the kind of dedication you're looking for. Sure, they have fun when they're there, but that, for them, doesn't mean they're going to be there every time. It's just something they like to do, an activity they enjoy as much as, say, watching a movie, so sometimes they're going to do the one and sometimes the other.
I've been (still am) in your position and it really, really sucks: you're pouring your heart into this and you feel like they just don't care or even that they're using you, but it's just a matter of looking at it differently; it's not ill will and it's not something you can change. You'll just have to accept it or quit teaching, because otherwise it's going to eat at your relationship with these people.

I wouldn't recommend penalising people, as unless you are going to charge huge amounts (and then how are you going to actually get the money? Send 'the boys' round?) then people will actually see it as more OK to miss a session - after all, they are paying for the privilege.
I would charge an upfront fee (not a deposit - if you don't want to keep the money then use it to buy refreshments or something- say it's for admin costs, whatever). Charge for a set number of sessions. Don't change any arrangements for people - they should be planning round you, not vice versa, and it's not fair on those who always turn up. If you really feel there are people who can't pay, deal with them privately and let them off.
You don't have to charge loads, it's just that people don't place any value on stuff that's free. Look at how much better MetaFilter is than so many other websites, and I'm sure a lot of that is due to the 'entry fee' - which is basically neglible to your average Westerner, but sets some barrier to participation and gives the product value in the eyes of users.

Whoa, small world! I'm fairly sure we've met AND I've seen you perform (I'll memail you my secret identity). I will be over in Melbs for a lot of the comfest so I'll most likely see your show - best of luck getting your troupe together!

I have the exact same issue with my choir - I have a core group of stalwarts that come all the time, a few who miss practices here and there, and some who are complete flakes. If what you're running is volunteer, then there isn't much you can do to force them to come to practice or even to a performance - you don't have a lot of stick to beat them with if the carrot isn't working.
For me, and other choir director friends of mine, the solution is to have a larger group than you strictly need. Then, in performance, you have a strong core of good singers, and maybe a few hangers-on who aren't as good 'cause they didn't put the work in.
For you, would you consider a "junior" and "senior" improv team? Those who have come regularly to practice and are solid performers are in the senior team, with the less experienced performers in the junior team.

Additional comments:
1) I do the "trial" thing as well but I haven't found it makes much of a difference. Most people have resolved to come before they make the effort to turn up for practice.
2) Having a "no practice, no performance" policy is definitely a good one, but as you note, you need a really solid (like, 15-20 people to choose from) core group before you can start turning people away. One really great way to drive the point home to your group is to plan a joint performance with a much more practiced, more solid team. Your people will realize they need to step their game up.
3) Be demanding, and nit-picky, even if you're not sure the level of skill in the group warrants it. People appreciate pushing their boundaries in a safe place, and the director/leader/team captain is just the person to do it. Don't be inclined to say "good enough, considering the group". Demand more from them (in a nice way!).
4) Recruit people to help you, particularly in recruitment and PR. Have you got someone with a comms or journalism background in your ranks, who might have some connections with local newspapers or TV stations? Use that. Got a graphic designer in your group? Get that person to do up a poster or something. Hold a "bring a friend to practice" day, with coffee and cookies afterwards.
5) Strengthen the community in your group. Plan occasional "fun" activities for the group, like a BBQ or party at someone's house. Or busk in the local town centre, partly to fundraise and partly to give your group some practice performing in front of people. Volunteer to perform at a food bank drive.

I do improv as well. I have an independent team, and we meet weekly and practice with a coach. It was a nightmare at first to figure out everybody's schedules and get people to show up consistently, so I absolutely know where you're coming from.
First off, I think you should charge for you time. It doesn't have to be a lot, but improv coaches in NYC generally charge between 20 and 30 dollars an hour, and practice sessions almost always last two hours (note - that rate is for the whole group, not per individual. So you'd be making 40-60 dollars total). I understand why you don't want to charge, but I urge you to reconsider. This is a valuable skill that you've acquired, and you deserve to be compensated for doing the work of teaching it to others. You paid them at UCB for the same instruction, right? By not charging, you're sending the message that this is just a fun, casual thing that people can sign up for and then treat as a very low priority.
More importantly, charging will allow you to institute a dues system, which I've found is the best way to get people to show up. Where are you practicing, and where are the shows? Are they in places that cost money to rent? If you're running it out of your house, I'd encourage you to rent some studio space for the class, which will also make it seem more like something that needs to be taken seriously. If so, figure out how much per month is required to cover all space rentals, then add that to the amount that you will be paid for your time for the month (so, $160-$240, assuming four sessions per month and depending on your rate). Then the people in your class pay you upfront for the month, dividing it amongst themselves. If they don't pay you at the beginning of the month, they have to wait until the next month. You have to be really firm on this - don't let people show up the first week or two and promise to pay you later.
This way, people are making a formal commitment to attend all month. And if they don't, they're wasting money. You don't have to penalize them directly for missing a week, because they've penalized themselves by throwing away that money. It won't even end up being that expensive - my team currently has three people on it, and we each pay $100 per month. But any amount of money is enough to make people take it much more seriously.
I've been involved in a lot of teams over the years, and so have a lot of my friends. This is the only thing that I've ever seen work.

Individual Health Insurance In Maine
Published by:
Individual Health Insurance - On and Off the Market Place
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) and the federally facilitated Healthcare Marketplace has brought about changes in the insurance plans offered in the state of Maine.
The ACA's Individual Mandate and Pre-Existing Conditions
If you are eligible for group coverage that meets the ACA's standards (either through your employment or your spouse's or parents' employment, or through membership in an association), you will not be able to get help with the cost of a plan through the Marketplace. You can still buy individual coverage on or off the Marketplace, but you will want to carefully consider whether the group coverage available to you has better benefits, or costs less.
Mandated BenefitsTen essential health benefits must now be included in all health insurance plans:
"Metal Levels"The ACA creates standardized levels of coverage, called "metal levels" — Bronze, Silver, Gold (and, in some states, Platinum) — which allow you to compare plans, offered by different insurance companies. In general, plans with lower cost-sharing will have higher premiums, and vice versa.
* Actuarial Value is the average amount of total cost the plan will cover for your care.
Enrollment Periods
How Much Does It Cost, and Other Factors to Consider
Premium Rates
Rates for insurance premiums vary, based on three factors: geographic area, smoking status, and age.
Benefits and ExclusionsCompare benefits, exclusions and premiums carefully when considering different policies. Service is also important to consider. A company who gives superior service may be worth some additional cost.
Comparing PlansSome questions to consider when comparing plans:
2014 Plans By Metal Level Offered By Each Carrier
|Insurance Carrier
|Network Types
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield
Guided Access HMO (South)Guided Access POS (North)
Maine Community Health Options
Harvard Pilgrim Health Care
and PPO
|Catastrophic Coverage
|A health insurance policy with a high deductible
|A percentage of each claim, above the deductible, that is paid by the policyholder.
|The payment that is due at the time you receive a health care service, such as a visit to a doctor's office, or when you pick up a prescription drug. The copayment is usually a fixed amount ($10, $20, or $30, for example) and may only be part of what you will owe for the service.
|The amount that you are responsible to pay before benefits from the insurance company are payable. Choosing a plan with a higher deductible will lower your premium.
|Effective Date
|The date on which an insurance policy coverage starts
|Expiration Date
|The date on which the policy ends.
|Guaranteed Renewal
|Once you obtain an individual policy it is renewable as long as premiums continue to be paid. If premiums are not paid the insurer can end the policy.
|Indemnity Plan
|A health insurance plan that has no network of providers. The insurance company pays a set amount for services and the enrollee pays the rest.
|Individual Policy
|All Maine residents who are not eligible for Medicare can buy health insurance policies for themselves and/or their families, regardless of their employment or health status.
|Maximum amount a policy will pay either overall or for a particular benefit.
|The doctors, hospitals, therapists, and other health care providers who have signed contracts to provide services to a health plan's members. Members who obtain services from providers outside the network will have to pay more.
|The amount of money an insurance company charges for insurance coverage.
|Usual And Customary Charges
|Usual and customary — also called reasonable and customary — is the fee charged by most of the providers in a given geographical area for a particular service. Most insurance companies pay claims based on a percentage of theses fees.

Read Movie Reviews about Trumbo Write a Movie Review for Trumbo
Release Date: 2008-06-27
Genre: Documentary,
Rating: PG-13
Duration: 1hr 36min
"Trumbo" is the story of screenwriter Dalton Trumbo's remarkable journey from Hollywood royalty to blacklisted writer to Academy Award winner. Focusing on the writer's own indelible words, the film features performances of some of his extraordinary letters, clips from his films and, archival and contemporary interviews with those who knew him best. The film illustrates how one man's unerring belief in the First Amendment and the power of the written word-plus a drink or two-empowered him to fight back after being blacklisted by HUAC. Forced to write underground, letter writing became the chief repository of Trumbo's extraordinary talents, and they serve as a wonderfully entertaining testament to his boundless intellect, acerbic humor, and staggering resilience.

A historic home in Fairfax was flattened by fire.
Officials say the fire on Goose Pond Road broke out Saturday morning, and quickly spread. Home owners were inside at the time. Multiple crews responded, but were unable to save the structure. Luckily no one was injured. The house was built in the mid 1800's. Neighbors say it's a big loss.
"They say that oxen teams pulled lumber through the fields to build the house, pretty sad. It's a pretty big blow," said neighbor Phil Baskette.
The Red Cross is providing assistant to the couple who lived in the home. The exact cause is still being investigated but officials say the fire does not appear to be suspicious.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

A group will launch a campaign today to build a year-round public market in Sacramento.
The group includes Steve Carlin, the developer of the renowned Oxbow Public Market in Napa and a project manager for the Ferry Building Marketplace on the San Francisco waterfront.
Both of those projects – which include farm stands, restaurants and shops – have been cited in the past by local developers and city leaders as inspirations for a market in Sacramento.
Carlin will be joined by local political consultant Joe Rodota, former downtown railyard developer Richard Rich and attorney Jeffrey Dorso. The group plans to launch a social media campaign starting today to the promote the plan and has scheduled a launch party tonight at midtown's Hook & Ladder restaurant.
The group has not settled on a proposed site for the market, although it would likely be built in or near downtown Sacramento.
Financing options also have not been finalized. The group said it expects the plan to include a "public-private partnership."
Those elements of the proposal are expected to be explored in the coming months.
"Sacramento is emerging as a nationally recognized 'farm to fork' capital – and a public market can be the capstone of these efforts," Carlin said in a statement. "A public market in Sacramento will boost tourism to the entire region and create jobs. Other cities with thriving public markets have also found them to be a valuable civic amenity for residents, a resource for local schools and a symbol of community pride and vitality."
Rodota added that "a public market should be Sacramento's next big civic amenity."
"Not only can a public market serve regional residents, it can also draw visitors from throughout California, as well as international and national visitors," he said.
Local civic leaders and developers have longed discussed the possibility of building a public market in downtown. Multiple locations, including the former Greyhound station on L Street, have been mentioned as potential sites for a market.
In 2010, Sacramento developer Rubicon Partners proposed building a year-round market, wine center and convention space at the corner of Eighth and K streets. The developers planned to call the center the Boqueria, after the famed marketplace in Barcelona, Spain.
The City Council, however, bypassed the plan and instead went with a rival proposal to build housing, retail and offices on the 800 block of K Street. That project has still not moved forward.

Question: Is there a way to merge multiple versions of the same Word document with track changes into an absolute and final version?
Answer: Tracking changes is your friend! But don't fret if others revising your document doesn't use tracking changes. You can use the combine or compare feature in Word (located on the Reviewing tab in the ribbon) to merge edits from other documents to compare with the original, and see the changes as if the others used tracking changes.

First Lady Michelle Obama is getting her hands dirty — and I applaud her for it. In overseeing the planting of a vegetable garden at the White House today, the First Gardener is setting an example. Like many commenters posting to the wonderfully comprehensive article on ABCNews.com, written by Kate Barrett and Brian Hartman, I don't think she'll be out in the garden of an evening, tilling, weeding, and composting. Nor should she — there are many other projects that need her attention. But she's gotten the nation talking about kitchen gardens, Victory Gardens, whatever the modern-day incarnation is.
I have often marvelled at the amount of time we spend on our lawns — cutting, edging, fertilizing, seeding, weeding — endless amounts of energy for our big broad lawns, and for what? They look good, but they give nothing tangible back. You can't eat 'em, can't share the bounty with your friends and family. Why not put some of that time and effort into a vegetable garden and be rewarded for your hard work? There are many who already have, as Brian Rooney showed us in his Nightline piece from February 26th in Los Angeles, and I suspect a movement will be in full bloom now.
My cousin in St Louis is helping a needy family with six children, and I just suggested to her that one of the greatest things she could do for them is help them plant a vegetable garden. Last weekend, they moved to a new rental in the city — a house with a lawn! — so how perfect would it be if they took up part of that grass and planted some of the fresh foods they otherwise could not afford? It will also teach young city kids some important lessons, not least of which is that instead of feeling helpless and hopeless, they do have control over some aspects of their lives.
So kudos to Mrs. Obama for taking the lead in this. Alice Waters has been encouraging backyard and school gardens for years… Michael Pollan has been leading the charge, and countless Americans have been quietly toiling away on their "shovel ready" projects every spring. They know the joy of picking and eating their own spinach, carrots, beets, zucchini, and yes, the ubiquitous (and fantastically flavorful) tomato. I only wish I could join them, but with no outdoor space at my apartment in New York City, I'm limited to little bits of rosemary and basil grown in pots on the kitchen windowsill. How many of you with backyards and grass and sunshine will follow the White House lead??

1. Sign Language Documentation and Change (Coordinator: Woll)
Research projects in this strand will take advantage of technological advances for better documentation, editing and archiving and also use data from the BSL Corpus Project to create an online dictionary (lexical database) and a basic reference grammar of phonology and morphosyntax for BSL. Language choices reflect changing identities and experiences; and these in turn are reflected in long-term changes in language. BSL is undergoing rapid change as the first generation of young deaf people with early diagnosis, a higher proportion of cochlear implants, and extended experience of mainstream schooling and higher education reach adulthood. To document language change we will collect linguistic data from signers with varying fluency in BSL and English through semi-structured interview and structured linguistic tasks. These data will be used to identify the factors promoting language change and the directions of change. A second study will explore BSL in contexts of language loss, with emphasis on deaf children before and after cochlear implantation. This study will use longitudinal case studies which will cover such topics as which parts of the BSL lexicon and grammar are maintained in the face of reduced or absent input, and whether BSL loss is counter-balanced by English development or whether it proceeds independently.
See also the DCAL-associated project on directional verbs in BSL.
Researchers involved: Bencie Woll, Kearsy Cormier, Robert Adam, Kate Rowley, Jordan Fenlon

My introduction to murder came from Agatha Christie. Her inquisitive Miss Marple, of St Mary Mead, and very Belgian Poirot, with his 'little grey cells', captured my imagination from a young age. With a passion for the crime genre, my writing includes cosy crime novelettes and short stories. I am currently working on the Blake Hetherington mystery series, the first two of which, 'Hats Off To Murder' and 'One For The Rook', are now available on Kindle, with a paperback anthology coming soon. My influences include, Agatha Christie, Josephine Tey, Arthur Conan Doyle, Peter Robinson and Terry Pratchett's, Vimes. I started a blog to share experiences and ideas. I have been blogging since 2008. Over the years my blog has evolved and now 'Hat Paint, Ladders and Wonky Pooh', focusses on my love of the crime genre and my writing, in particular 'The Blake Hetherington Mysteries'.
What's in the name? Well, hat paint, ladders and Wonky Pooh are three of the murder weapons used in Murder is Easy by Agatha Chrisite. One of my favourite Agatha Christie novels, (there are a few). On this blog you will find previous writing challenges like Alphabet Soup Challenge , and Friday Fifty , links to my collaborative writing project 'The Alternative Life of Tallulah Devine', as well as regular posts, 'The Writing Week', 'Where Inspiration Lies' and 'That Just Leaves Friday'.
Happy Blogging!

Planned Parenthood and pro-abortion legislators are targeting pro-life pregnancy centers in cities across America. They are passing unconstitutional laws designed to shut down pro-life centers or force them to adopt and express pro-abortion views.
The ACLJ is leading the fight to keep these pro-life pregnancy centers open. We had oral arguments before a federal appeals court in New York City, and we are preparing to file an amicus brief backing a pro-life lawsuit that's challenging an anti-life law in Baltimore. This is the time to stand up for life. Add your name to our amicus brief in the Baltimore case now.
Pro-life speech is constitutionally protected, and pro-life pregnancy centers have the right to operate in every city in the nation – including Baltimore.

My Great Outdoors: A BLIS_ful Patio
Name: BLIS_ful
Location: North Hollywood, CA
Type of space: Patio
Tell us about your outdoor project and how you enjoy it: The "before" was just awful. Actually, the whole condo was a designer's nightmare. I bought some furniture and potted plants, tried stenciling the nasty concrete...finally, I couldn't take it any longer and just gave it a complete overhaul. A few weeks of working on it before and after work, and I finally got to enjoy my first glass of wine out there last week. Lanterns lit, (usually) gorgeous LA weather...I'm relaxed out here...
How did you create it? Blood, sweat, tears, and an iPod. Those trees are a nightmare, growing out of control at 40+ feet high. I even swallowed my fear of heights, climbed up on the second story roof and hung over the ledge trimming the tops I could reach with one of those long handled cutting thingies. I dug every single rock out of the area beneath my window where the plantings now are, amended the soil (thanks wise internet), planted, mulched, etc. I painted and sealed the patio floor, patching concrete first. Removed a huge aluminum awning/eyesore over the patio doors, patched and made a paint color to match the old building color. The sheers are hung from an Ikea curtain rod that's tied to branches with twine.
Recommended store, site, product or resource? I'll never tell! Just kidding...I recently discovered Big Lots and it was love at second sight. Umbrella=$70. Umbrella base= $30. (Pretty)Balls:$12.

This looks great from the little that I can see but I wish the photos showed more.
Really lovely patio. Nice and airy. I love the green chair! Best inspiration for me is that you've created a great entertaining space that didn't cost a lot.
Maybe I'll finally get around to my patio this spring. It's so barren-totally embarrassing!
Great job!
BLIS_ful I love all the white... so breezy and cool looking. I do like the green painted rocker and especially love a chandelier outdoors! I plan to do the same in my gazebo if I can find one at a good price!
Mine is so empty and I am trying to find cost-effective ways around it also! Can't wait to get to work on it!
This is so lovely, a real payoff for all your hard work. I love the way the different furniture and plants are so balanced, you've really created an outdoor room for every occasion. And I especially love the smooth white finish of the concrete, it really takes it up a level of elegance.
hahaha! love big lots too!
Your patio is so peaceful. Now I need to stop being lazy and go work on mine.
Really love the chandelier outdoors and the silver spheres - very cool.
Thankyouthankyouthankyou for the positive comments! I was scared about getting critiqued on my first submission :). Laura, I tried to submit "pretty" pictures, but I have yet to master the SLR or learn how to get the vibe to match the composition...sorry! There are more pics posted on flickr at http://www.flickr.com/photos/29295831@N03/sets/72157619246706544/
Thanks again!
How terrible was painting and sealing the patio floor? I have a terrible patio floor- it looks like they poured grey paint on it, then put a fake lawn on it, then ripped up the fake lawn. So now its uneven, industrial grey with a grid pattern and pieces of green fake lawn plastic embedded. I'm trying to decide on the fastest cheapest way to fix it.
Love the lanterns! Where did you find them? Please say they're not vintage.

WordPress All in One SEO Plugin Vulnerabililty
Hey folks, there is a recently announced vulnerability affecting the popular All in One SEO Plugin. The vulnerability allows a site user of any level to escalate privileges to admin level and from there on in they pretty much have an open book.
Hey, I'm over here, hack me!
Frustratingly the All in One SEO plugin issues a generator tag that announces the version number. So, before long, some enterprising
asshole hacker will likely frig together a scanner to identify target sites and we will see infection rates rocket.

Up-Close With Clevo's New Desktop Replacements
These two behemoths promise a lot of power under the hood—and enough heft to cause fatal blunt force trauma.
Over at the Clevo meeting room for COMPUTEX 2010, at least two different desktop replacements were on display. For some reason though, picture-taking wasn't allowed. So, for the X7200 and X8100, we only have our impressions, the spec we found online, and company product photos to share.
Let's get the specs out of the way first:
X7200 (complete specs here)
- CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU
- Chipset: X58
- GPU: Dual-Configuration GTX 480M With SLI
- Display: 17.3" 1920 x 1080
- Wi-Fi: Intel Centrino Ultimate-N 6300
- Webcam: 3.0 megapixel
- Memory: 3 x DDR3 slots, total max 12 GB
- HDD: Max 3 slots for RAID 0/1/5
- Media Connectivity: HDMI-In, HDMI-Out, S/PDIF
- Ports: 1394b, 2 x USB 3.0, 3 x USB 2.0, eSATA
- Others: TV Tuner, Fingerprint reader, Bluetooth
X8100 (complete specs here)
- CPU: Intel Core i7 CPU (mobile version)
- Chipset: PM55
- Display: 18.4" 1920 x 1080
- Wi-Fi: Intel Ultimate N WiFi Link 5300
- Webcam: 3.0 megapixel
- Memory: 2 x DDR3 slots, total max 8 GB
- HDD: Max 3 slots
- Media Connectivity: HDMI-In, HDMI-Out, DVI-I
- Ports: 1394b, 2 x USB 3.0, 4 x USB 2.0, eSATA
- Others: TV Tuner, Fingerprint reader, Bluetooth, 8 "gaming keys", touch controls
From appearances, the X7200 promises more power, by virtue of its desktop-grade hardware. Yet the X8100 came off as more intriguing due to its touch controls. While physical buttons and dials do a great job of managing functions like volume level and Bluetooth on-off states, doing away with them results in a more sleek look for this 18.4" monster.
Both gadgets are quite big, even for desktop replacements. With a ruler on-hand, we estimate heights of 2.35" and 1.7" for the X7200 and X8100 respectively. They're also quite hefty, with both feeling at least 12 pounds heavy. The mere act of dropping either "portable" on a person's head is undoubtedly enough to kill them. Neither demo unit felt particularly hot to the touch, as they were busy cranking out Unigine renders at full detail.
Clevo is an OEM, which means they sell only to resellers, not direct to customers. Once such reseller is Sager Notebooks. The Sager NP2985 is practically similar to the X7200, save for the lack of USB 3.0 ports and inability to read fingertips. The X8100 is well-represented by the Sager NP8120—mostly. Sager's 18.4" offering also has the touch controls and the specialized gaming keys. Unfortunately, other than also lacking USB 3.0 and the fingerprint reader, the NP8120's most powerful GPU option is the GTX 285M.

1gayan , June 2, 2010 6:24 PMDang those are going to be BIG and HOT... and did i say Heavy?
1greatsaltedone , June 2, 2010 6:35 PMIt is beyond me why anyone would put fermi into a laptop. The battery drain must be awful!

That was funny. Put more stuff like this in your stories Rico
1freiheitner , June 2, 2010 7:02 PMPut about four inches between the top of the keyboard and the bottom of the display and then I'll consider it a desktop replacement. Until then, I can't use it because I have to hunch over so much to read the screen.
-5ricardok , June 2, 2010 7:10 PMSince notebooks can't be upgraded (you can only touch the HD/Memory) than I wouldn't say that those will ever replace desktops.
-2anamaniac , June 2, 2010 7:13 PMClevo, you make me happy. You know exactly what this man wants.
-1razercultmember1 , June 2, 2010 7:21 PMHave fun looking at a melted piece of plastic with those fermis

with dx 11
0tokenz , June 2, 2010 8:00 PMI will pass. Rather just have a desktop
1falchard , June 2, 2010 9:19 PMHooray a notebook with a 10 minute battery life.

You can actually upgrade the cpu and video cards as well if you are not an idiot....
And for the battery life remarks, this is a mobile workstation, not a netbook
0Arethel , June 3, 2010 12:58 AMI used to have a Sager 8890. Quite a nice machine for having in college as I changed my residence 6 times in four years. I could never take this computer to class with me though, just too heavy, noisy, and kind of embarrassing.
One things for sure, that computer needed constant maintenance. Cooling was a major issue that required me to have a pretty strict PM schedule. I completely wore that computer out after 5 good years of gaming, coding and rendering. The plastic casing finally gave into thermal wear and my computer split in half once it got too brittle.
I don't ever regret the purchase. I had one of the most powerful portable computers out there, but it did cost me a small fortune. Five years was plenty of life for me, by that point I was out of school and settled in with a more permanent lifestyle, so a desktop was more appropriate.
These mobile computers are a niche market. There was a time it made sense for me to have one. Now it doesn't. Now I prefer powerful desktops and a very lightweight laptop.
0Arethel , June 3, 2010 1:06 AMI used to transport that Sager back and forth between my apartment and my laboratory. It was priceless to not have to worry about constantly transitioning data from a home computer to a university workstation.
The 2.35" model is quite thick. The 1.7" model is not bad though. I think my Sager was 1.8" thick and 13.5 lbs.
I really think it would have been better if Clevo used 1920 x 1200 resolution screens instead. I loved my non-widescreen Sager at 1280 x 1024, perfect for getting work done. Right now though I have a Dell U2410 and 1920 x 1200 is a pretty good compromise.
0robertking82881 , June 3, 2010 2:53 AMive got to get me this heater to keep me warm in winter
0shreejan86 , June 3, 2010 9:19 AMwhats the price?
0HeadScratcher7 , June 4, 2010 6:54 AMI was all set to buy a Clevo before I noticed the cramped keyboard. Looks like they use the same keyboard (with the non-standard 10-key) for every computer they make -regardless of whether it's got a 15.6" screen or 18.4".
When I buy a desktop replacement I expect a full size keyboard with a standard 10-key pad on the side. The whole point of going the route of a desktop replacement is to be able to use it as-is without having to plug it into a port replicator before I can get some real work done.
If anyone with some clout has access to Clevo's ear, could they please mention this? When I talked to a Clevo reseller they said no one had ever complained to them before about it. But who would? They would do just like I did and simply buy a different laptop with a proper keyboard. I can't stand companies that try to build a "super" product and then skimp on the basics. When they get the keyboard right, then maybe I'll be interested in the rest.
0JarrettP , August 6, 2010 4:59 PMExtended battery for up to 3 minutes of gameplay and a free cooling mat to increase lifetime to up to two seconds running at full power!

How many children have been killed by Obama's drones against terrorists--collateral damage? How many children were killed in Iraq & Afghan by USA military strikes, and, yes, in a few cases, outright murder on a personal basis? What about the atomic bombs dropped on Japan, or the fire-bombing of Dresden? Tens of thousands of children have been killed by American firepower. Oh, I know, just the incidental and helpless victims of warfare--could not be avoided, we feel no shame. And so the shooters in USA mass murders feel no shame either--it's all justified in their minds. And one place you will hardly ever find shame is among USA politicians.

"Rednecks and Broomsticks" is the seventh episode of The Simpsons' twenty-first season. It aired on November 29, 2009. It guest stars Neve Campbell.
After stumbling upon some teenage Wiccans, Lisa accepts an invitation to join their coven. Just before Lisa is inducted Chief Wiggum arrives and arrests the three teens on charges of witchcraft; Lisa becomes the chief witness in the trial. Meanwhile, Homer starts to hang out with his new pal Cletus after discovering the slack-jawed yokel makes moonshine and becomes the local moonshine taste-tester.
Full Story Edit
The Simpsons return from a ski vacation and Bart and Lisa decide to play "Bonk-It!" to pass the time. Homer gets tired of the annoying noises, so destroys the game. Unfortunately, the game gets stuck in the car's break pedal and Homer can't stop, so they slide on a frozen lake.Then Bambi makes a quick appearance, then gets hit by Homer's car. Cletus Spuckler rescues them from sinking in the water and takes them to his shack. He invites Homer to drink moonshine with his hillbillies friends, while Lisa plays hide-and-seek with Cletus' daughters. Since they can't count and Lisa chooses a very good hiding place, she gets lost. She then wanders into the field and discovers three teenage girls, one of who is called Cassandra, who are practicing Wiccans. (Piano Music playing on Ipod is: Cursum Perficio) Lisa is skeptical of their spells, so she just comes back with Homer.
The next day, Lisa finds out Ms. Hoover to be sick. She asks the Wiccans if they made Hoover sick with a stomach virus. The girls assure Lisa that they never hurt anyone and ask her to join their coven. While researching Wiccans on her computer, Ned Flanders spots Lisa through his window and in his usual religiously intolerant manner contacts the authorities. Just before Lisa is inducted into their pact, Chief Wiggum arrives and arrests the three girls for witchcraft and Lisa becomes the star witness in the trial. Half the town turn blind and the girls are accused of cursing them. However, Judge Snyder decides that there is no evidence linking the girls to any crime whatsoever and throws out the case. The towns folk refuse to accept a fair and impartial ruling and take the girls to be dunked in the river via a dunking stool reconstructed by Groundskeeper Willie. As they are about to be, Lisa stops them and gives the town the real reason they were blinded.
As it turns out the hillbillies that Homer had befriended all make their own moonshine, and after discovering Homer's ability to taste the home brew like a fine wine they invite him to be a judge at an upcoming competition. When the police go by on their way to arrest the Wiccans, the hillbillies think their coming for them and throw their stills down the hill, spiking the river with alcohol. The tainted water ran into the reservoir and blinded everyone who drank it.
The girls are let free begrudgingly by the towns folk, they thank Lisa for her help and she thanks them for helping her be a little less skeptic. Marge thinks they are nice girls but forbids Lisa from ever going near them again.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
I'm always dragging the prices down on my server. People get ridiculous with pricing. It comes down to a simple question of volume and cost.
If I list 20 items on the AH and only sell 10 of them at 5g /ea with 50s each in AH cost my net revenue is 40g. {(10*5g)-(20*.5)}
But in reality I can sell all 20 at 3g each with an AH cost of 30s each my net revenue is 54g. {(20*3)-(20*.3)}
By reducing the final price by 2g on each item, I was able to sell more of the item and lose less of my AH deposits. In the end I made more money by selling volume with smaller margin on each piece.
The best part is, because we're in a free market economy I can price my goods how I would like, and you can do the same. In the end how successful we are will determine which one of us is right.
