The Subconscious Sink
Robert Gober
Most of my sculptures have been memories remade, recombined, and filtered through my current experiences. Looking back now at why I built sculptures of sinks, I can remember sinks that I knew as a child, a recurring dream of a roomful of sinks with water flowing through them, the fact that a friend was dying of AIDS. But when I was making them, my considerations were for the most part sculptural and formal ones.--Robert Gober Robert Gober's fascination with domestic objects dates back to the early 1980s, when he began to create sculptures based on beds, chairs, cribs, and sinks. Subconscious Sink contains the basic elements of a large old-fashioned sink the artist knew as a child. Mounted on the white gallery wall, the sink's gleaming plaster form almost appears to be materializing in front of our eyes, as if it is emerging from our own subconscious. However, it's clear at first glance that this is not an ordinary sink. Most notably, the back splashboard rises to an illogical height, splitting near the top into two identical halves. Furthermore, where there should be faucets and plumbing apparatus, there are gaping holes, rendering the sink useless. As implied by the title and his own words, Gober is addressing larger psychological issues through this familiar household fixture. For example, our inability to clean ourselves at this sink has been compared to the larger inability of our immune systems to eradicate deadly diseases such as the AIDS virus from our bodies. The split splashboard is also rich with associations, implying a past division stemming from childhood or a discord in one's home environment.

Robert Gober, Subconscious Sink (1985)

Although Warhol was already impressed with the glamour of Jackie Kennedy by 1962,1 he was unmoved by the news of John Kennedy's assassination the following year. He later recalled: I heard the news over the radio when I was alone painting in my studio. I don't think I missed a stroke. I wanted to know what was going on out there, but that was the extent of my reaction.... Henry Geldzahler wanted to know why I wasn't more upset, so I told him about the time I was walking in India and saw a bunch of people in a clearing having a ball because somebody they really liked had just died and how I realized then that everything was just how you decided to think about it. I'd been thrilled having Kennedy as president; he was handsome, young, smart--but it didn't bother me that much that he was dead. What bothered me was the way the television and radio were programming everybody to feel so sad. It seemed like no matter how hard you tried, you couldn't get away from the thing.... John Quinn, the playwright ... was moaning over and over, "But Jackie was the most glamorous First Lady we'll every get."2 For Warhol, the visual means for expressing detachment from emotions, an attitude he regarded as characteristic of the 1960s in general,3 was through the replication of images. Like the droning repetition of newscasts, the device dissipates meaning, and with it the capacity of images to move or disturb: "The more you look at the same exact thing, the more the meaning goes away and the better and emptier you feel."4 The sixteen faces of Jackie Kennedy in Warhol's painting were blown up from four news photos that appeared ubiquitously in the media after the assassination. From top to bottom, the images are of Jackie smiling at Love Field on arrival in Dallas; stunned at the swearing-in ceremony for L.B.J. on Air Force One after the president's death; grieving at the Capitol; and in the limousine before the shooting. The top three appeared in the 24 November and 6 December 1963 issues of Life magazine: the first by an unidentified photographer; the second and third by Cecil Stoughton and Fred Ward, respectively; the source for the bottom one has not been identified, although a U.P.I. photograph similar to it was reproduced in Newsweek. Eventually, in Warhol's view, these images became so familiar that neutral identification is all that the viewer experiences. Warhol make this point by repeating each of the four image of Jackie four times, in a simple well-designed non-sequential alternation of strips of "before and after" pictures. The high-contrast, low-information pictures, each as different from the others as one reproduction from another, are cropped to focus on Jackie's face, rhythmically directed one way along one row and then the other along the next. A deliberately careless look gives the painting a sense of chance and hurry, suggesting the quick duplication and dissemination of images.5 Additionally, expressivity is, in a sense, absent from the images themselves. Public expectation forces the face of the politician's wife into a perpetual, meaningless smile, while shock renders the widow as inexpressive and numb as one of Warhol's somnambulant superstars. The two faces, perceived by Warhol as equally unreal, have been further sapped of meaning by the mythologizing American culture and the techniques of reproduction, and are finally emptied of meaning by the artist's stylization. 1 See Andy Warhol and Pat Hackett, PoPism: The Warhol '60s (New York and London: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1980), p. 36. 2 Ibid., p. 60. 3 Andy Warhol, The Philosophy of Andy Warhol (New York and London: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1975), p. 27. 4 Warhol, PoPism, p. 50. It is interesting to note that 16 Jackies ignited the passion of a vandal who inscribed the words "HOGWASH/USA" on the panel third from the top on the leftmost column and "BLACK" on the panel second from the top on the rightmost column in ballpoint pen in November 1967; the inscriptions were successfully removed by Daniel Goldreyer in New York by late January 1968. 5 Warhol describes the silkscreening process he used, which allowed him to turn the work of reproducing the design over to Gerard Malanga and other assistants: "You pick a photograph, blow it up, transfer it in glue onto silk, and then roll ink across it so the ink goes through the silk but not through the glue. That way you get the same image, slightly different each time. It was all so simple-quick and chancy;" Warhol, PoPism, p. 22.

"I am for an art that imitates the human, that is comic, if necessary, or violent. . . . I am for an art that takes its form from the lines of life itself, that twists and extends and accumulates and drips, and is heavy and coarse and blunt and sweet and stupid as life itself."--Claes Oldenburg After settling in New York in 1952, Claes Oldenburg became interested in making art that broke away from traditional forms (such as painting) and venues (such as galleries). During the late 1950s and early 1960s his performances, Happenings, environments, and other works drew on the growing consumerism of American culture, including advertising, comic books, and television, and he became associated with the newly developing Pop Art movement. The sculpture Shoestring Potatoes Spilling from a Bag and a companion piece entitled Giant Soft Ketchup Bottle (1967) were inspired by an advertisement in a 1965 issue of Life magazine. In typical fashion, Oldenburg transforms the object by greatly enlarging its scale and using unexpected materials. Caught spilling from the bag in a frozen free fall, the fries are transformed into a satirical emblem of the basest level of American culture--greasy fast food to go.

A multimedia artist avant la lettre, Andy Warhol was painter, printer, filmmaker, magazine founder, and all-around media star from the early 1960s until his death in 1987. The seminal progenitor of American Pop Art and purveyor of the glamorous celebrity lifestyle uttered the now-clichéd statement, "In the future, everyone will be famous for fifteen minutes." With this simple utterance, Warhol captured the volatile mix of desire, artifice, glamour, fickleness, and information overload that would define our celebrity-obsessed culture. His celebrated silkscreen paintings were often serialized portraits of rich, famous, and sometimes tragic figures of music, screen, and popular culture--such as Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Elvis Presley, and Jackie Kennedy. In his Factory of the late 1960s and early 1970s, he created "superstars" with that "It" quality that separated them from the ordinary. He made films that starred his creations, including Poor Little Rich Girl with Edie Sedgwick and Sleep with John Giorno. Taking part in all areas of the creative world, mainstream and underground, he was involved in the 1960s underground music scene with his musical protégés the Velvet Underground and was also instrumental in the success of Studio 54, the disco-era New York club that became the archetypal high-profile celebrity hangout. While helping to highlight, define, and foster America's obsession with the rich and famous, in 1969 Warhol also created a vehicle to both critique and celebrate that culture: Interview magazine. He also made a number of forays into television. Apart from appearing, as himself, in popular television series such as Love Boat, he also hosted two cable programs in the 1980s: Andy Warhol's TV and Andy Warhol's Fifteen Minutes. The episodes included in this exhibition feature segments with artists Eleanor Antin and Yoko Ono, musicians The Ramones and Debbie Harry, and filmmaker John Waters and his star Divine, among many others. Warhol was the pioneer who paved the way for such current celebrity media outlets as E! Entertainment Television and In Style magazine. In addition, he has had an extraordinary influence on many of the artists in this exhibition.

My works are in a constant state of change. I'm not interested in reaching an ideal state with my works. As people walk on them, as the steel rusts, as the brick crumbles, as the materials weather, the work becomes its own record of everything that's happened to it.--Carl Andre, 1968 Carl Andre's floor pieces feature symmetrical, or near symmetrical, arrangements of raw industrial materials: bricks and slate or metal tiles. His placement of the tiles on the floor emphasizes the geography of a room. As in the work of other sculptors who are described as Minimalist, such as Donald Judd, Andre uses symmetry, repetition, and simple geometric elements. The placement of the sculpture remains paramount, yet even this is de-emphasized to the point where the work becomes as conventional as a tile floor. This particular piece is unusual in that it is not completely symmetrical. One of the large metal tiles is cut at an angle, which sits up against the architecture of the gallery so that the line of tiles is at an angle to the wall. This method of composition relates the work to painting: the architecture of the room functions in much the same way as does the edge of a canvas.

Jorg Schellmann and Bernd Kluser: Why doesn't the Felt Suit have buttons? Joseph Beuys: Well, that was dictated by the character of felt. That occurred quite naturally. It was tailored after my own suit and I think the whole thing has to retain the character of felt, in the sense that felt doesn't strive to be smart, so to speak. One has to conserve the character, omit mere trifles, such as complicated buttons, buttonholes, and so on. And if somebody wants to wear the suit, he can fasten it with safety pins. S, K: Does the association with convicts' uniforms, on which the buttons and braces have been cut off as a sign of disgrace, apply? B: Of course I thought of that, but there's no direct relation. It isn't meant to be a suit which people wear. The suit is meant to be an object which one is precisely not supposed to wear. One can wear it, but in a relatively short time it'll lose its shape because felt is not a material which holds a form. Felt isn't woven. It's pressed together usually from hare or rabbit hair. It's precisely that, and it isn't suited for buttonholes and the like. S, K: How should one take care of the Felt Suit? B: I don't care. You can nail the suit to the wall. You can also hang it on a hanger, ad libitum! But you can also wear it or throw it into a chest. S, K: Does the suit's felt material play the role of insulating the physical warmth of a person? B: The character of warming--yes, that's obvious. The Felt Suit is not just a gag. It's an extension of the felt sculptures I made during my performances. There, felt also appeared as an element of warmth or as an insulator. Felt was used in all the categories of warmth sculpture, usually in connection with fat, and it's a derivative of that. So it does have a bearing on the character of warmth. Ultimately the concept of warmth goes even further. Not even physical warmth; I could just as well have used an infrared light in my performances. Actually, I mean a completely different kind of warmth, namely spiritual warmth or the beginning of an evolution.
Filzanzug (Felt Suit)
Joseph Beuys
Joseph Beuys produced Filzanzug (Felt Suit) not just once but a hundred times. He called editions of the same work of art "multiples." This challenged the idea of art as a unique product to be purchased by a limited number of people who could afford it. By producing more than one version of Felt Suit, Beuys made his work available to the many people who couldn't afford a unique painting or sculpture. The artist viewed multiples as "vehicles of information" that were vitally important to spreading his ideas. He believed that people who owned multiples were staying in touch with him and thus could extend the life of his own concepts. He also envisioned his multiples serving as stand-ins for himself and as objects that would always spark debate, regardless of where they traveled. Beuys had strong opinions about the role of money in society. In an interview for the publication Art Papier in 1979, he said, "Money and state are the only oppressive powers in the present time . . . . There is no other power and as long as people go to vote and go to the polling booths and say yes, yes, yes, to this system, this system will survive. And so we go radically another way and push against this. Radically." While Beuys needed money to live and to support his ideas, the capitalist system of profit troubled him. In his view, money should serve to allow creative living, not as an objective in and of itself. He spoke of his art as production, and emphasized that money from the multiples he created helped support causes such as the Free International University, which he founded.

Joseph Beuys was born in 1921 in Krefeld, a city in northwestern Germany near the Dutch border. He grew up in the nearby towns of Kleve and Rindern, the only child in a middle class, strongly Catholic family. During his youth he pursued dual interests in the natural sciences and art, and he chose a career in medicine. In 1940 he joined the military, volunteering in order to avoid the draft. He was trained as an aircraft radio operator and combat pilot, and during his years of active duty he was seriously wounded numerous times. At the end of the war he was held in a British prisoner-of-war camp for several months, and returned to Kleve in 1945. Coming to terms with his involvement in the war was a long process and figures, at least obliquely, in much of his artwork. Beuys often said that his interest in fat and felt as sculptural materials grew out of a wartime experience--a plane crash in the Crimea, after which he was rescued by nomadic Tartars who rubbed him with fat and wrapped him in felt to heal and warm his body. While the story appears to have little grounding in real events (Beuys himself downplayed its importance in a 1980 interview), its poetics are strong enough to have made the story one of the most enduring aspects of his mythic biography. On his return from the war Beuys abandoned his plans for a career in medicine and enrolled in the Düsseldorf Academy of Art to study sculpture. He graduated in 1952, and during the next years focused on drawing--he produced thousands during the 1950s alone--and reading, ranging freely through philosophy, science, poetry, literature, and the occult. He married in 1959 and two years later, at the age of 40, was appointed to a professorship at his alma mater. During the early 1960s, Düsseldorf developed into an important center for contemporary art and Beuys became acquainted with the experimental work of artists such as Nam June Paik and the Fluxus group, whose public "concerts" brought a new fluidity to the boundaries between literature, music, visual art, performance, and everyday life. Their ideas were a catalyst for Beuys' own performances, which he called "actions," and his evolving ideas about how art could play a wider role in society. He began to publicly exhibit his large-scale sculptures, small objects, drawings, and room installations. He also created numerous actions and began making editioned objects and prints called multiples. As the decades advanced, his commitment to political reform increased and he was involved in the founding of several activist groups: in 1967, the German Student Party, whose platform included worldwide disarmament and educational reform; in 1970, the Organization for Direct Democracy by Referendum, which proposed increased political power for individuals; and in 1972, the Free International University, which emphasized the creative potential in all human beings and advocated cross-pollination of ideas across disciplines. In 1979 he was one of 500 founding members of the Green Party. His charismatic presence, his urgent and public calls for reform of all kinds, and his unconventional artistic style (incorporating ritualized movement and sound, and materials such as fat, felt, earth, honey, blood, and even dead animals) gained him international notoriety during these decades, but it also cost him his job. Beuys was dismissed in 1972 from his teaching position over his insistence that admission to the art school be open to anyone who wished to study there. While he counted debate, discussion, and teaching as part of his expanded definition of art, Beuys also continued to make objects, installations, multiples, and performances. His reputation in the international art world solidified after a 1979 retrospective at New York's Guggenheim Museum, and he lived the last years of his life at a hectic pace, participating in dozens of exhibitions and traveling widely on behalf of his organizations. Beuys died in 1986 in Düsseldorf. In the subsequent decade his students have carried on his campaign for change, and his ideas and artwork have continued to spark lively debate.

"Perhaps the best thing would be for people to examine their own reasons for liking the same stories I do. Maybe that's enough."--Larry Johnson In his work, Los Angeles-based artist Larry Johnson references various media and autobiographical experiences such as advertisements, conversations, and magazine texts. In much the same way as a movie clip, the "scene" authored by the artist in Untitled (I Had Never Seen Anything Like It) is dependent on creating a context of time and space that suggests a larger fiction. Through his use of photography, text, and a modernist color palette, Johnson at once affirms and complicates the nonlinear dynamics of language, his own love of images, and the pervasive influence of Hollywood on the imagination.

I understand the energy and mass can change back and forth according to Einstein. It is fluid; it can go from one to the other. So, what keeps mass from just turning into energy? Is there some force holding a subatomic particle together? What keeps mass in it's state? I hope this is not a silly question but I am clueless. Thanks
This is inevitably going to be an unsatisfactory answer because your question is vastly more complicated than you (probably) realise. I'll attempt an answer in general terms, but you have to appreciate this is a pale shadow of the physics that describes this area.
Anyhow, Einstein was the first to spot that energy and mass were equivalent, and you've no doubt heard of his famous equation $E = mc^2$. These days we write this as:
$$ E^2 = p^2c^2 + m^2c^4 $$
where $p$ is the momentum and $m$ is the rest mass. However relativity does not explain how matter and energy can be interchanged. That had to wait several decades for the development of quantum field theory (QFT for short).
If you have never encountered QFT it will strike you as a very odd way of looking at the world. We are used to thinking of particles like electrons as objects, much like macroscopic objects except smaller and fuzzier. However in QFT there is an electron field that pervades the whole universe, and what we think of as an electron is an excitation in this field. Similarly there is a photon field, and photons are excitations in the photon field. In fact all elementary particles are excitations in their corresponding quantum field.
QFT explains matter-energy conversion because you can, for example, add energy to the electron field to excite it and thereby create an electron. Alternatively an excitation in the electron field, i.e. an electron, can disappear by transferring energy to something else. So, for example, in the Large Hadron Collider two quarks meet with huge kinetic energies and they can transfer some of this energy into excitations of various quantum fields to produce a shower of particles.
But this can't happen in any way you please. QFT gives us the equations to describe how the kinetic energy of particles can excite quantum fields and thereby create matter. This is why, to return to your question, mass can't just keep turning into energy. Quantum field excitations only occur in specific ways described by quantum field theory.
And that I think is about all that can be said at this level.
Firstly, mass is energy. There is no distinction at all. Not all of the "mass" of an atom comes from protons/neutrons/electrons, for example, there is a chunk that comes from potential energy — this chunk actually dominates over the mass of the constituents.
However, we can reword your question to be "What stops nucleons from turning into other forms of energy?"
The question is in fact in reverse: why would the mass want to change? Most changes in physics require an impetus; a potential difference or something similar. There is none of that a priori here.
In addition, for these transitions from mass to energy, there usually are high-energy transition states, like in chemical reactions:
To reach the final product, one must supply enough energy to reach and overcome the transition state. An example of this is nuclear fusion: To reach the final state, one must first get the nuclei close enough, which involves a considerable input of energy.
Nucleons on their own have very long half lives, so while they may decay into other particles and energy, this is not seen. Most other particles, however, have short half lives and nothing stops them from decaying quickly into "energy".
It's not that mass and energy "can change back and forth". They are literally equivalent ways of talking about the same thing (assuming the particle is not moving). If something has mass than it also as energy and vice-versa. In fact, particles often have their mass given in units of energy.
Your question is somewhat like asking "if something has velocity, what keeps it from turning into speed?"
OK, here is the experimentalist's version:
The famous general $E=mc^2$ energy to mass connection when analyzed further shows that for elementary particles there exists an $m$ that is constant, called rest mass: the mass when the particle is not moving.
$$E^2=p^2c^2 +m^2c^4$$
We have observed and measured this equivalence of mass energy an innumerable number of times. We have organized the elementary particles according to their rest mass into a very elegant model that describe the data, called the standard model.. All masses we observe from nuclei to stars are composed of these elementary particles in hierarchical order giving larger and larger masses the larger the ensemble, which are based on the energy equations above.
The nucleons, composed of quarks and gluons, the nuclei, composed of nucleons (protons and neutrons), the atoms, composed by nucleons and electrons, all are stable (nucleons may have unstable isotopes) and form the basis of the macroscopic stability of masses we observe in the macroscopic world described by classical physics.
What is preventing the atom from collapsing into a neutral ball of mass/energy, what gives the intricate spectroscopic patterns of atomic spectra? The theory of quantization emerged to explain these data and developed into quantum mechanics, in contrast to classical mechanics. A basic result of the theoretical modeling is that only quantized energy states can exist and the electrons cannot fall down to the nucleus because this is not an allowed energy state.
Quantization explains the periodic table of elements : protons and neutrons do not collapse into an energy ball because of the stable energetic levels allowed by quantization.
In addition the elementary particles are uniquely characterized by quantum numbers. Many of these have been experimentally observed to be conserved in interactions. Thus extra forbidden rules for transformation between energy and mass exist from conservation laws and quantum number conservation laws.
The stability of the interplay between mass and energy that we observe in the macroscopic world is the result of an equilibrium between conservation laws and energy momentum conservation in the quantized microscopic systems.
No force, just conservation rules and allowed states. The quarks in the proton cannot disappear/collapse into each other because of quantum number conservation , they carry baryon number 1/3 or 2/3 and can never lose it within the proton , the total baryon number has to stay 1.
The way I understand it is that all mass comes from the force that joins the quarks together since empty space is not really empty and in case of a proton the particle is made of three quarks two up and one down they actually use up energy to create an empty space between them seeking "equilibrium" and since the energy that holds these particles doesn't just go no where it translates into what we call mass and looking at the matter this way explains how mass and energy is just one thing that is looked at from two perspectives, adding to that the weight (really small) of the quarks which is created by the "interaction" of the higgs field with them and can be looked at as if the quarks were metallic balls and the field is made of honey which doesnt make the balls stop but they doent go full speed either.... hope I helped :)
The simple answer is one word... entropy! There are two types of entropy we need to consider, 1)universal and 2)local.
Universal - right after the Big Bang, there was an "over abundance" of energy, therefore matter and energy were "readily" interchangeable. Energy became matter and matter became energy. As the volume of the universe expanded, local sections developed where the amount of energy available was not sufficient to change matter back into energy, so matter started to exist and populate the universe until most of the energy of the universe was used up.
Local - because of gravity, in time, there is sufficient local matter that fuses together and generates enough energy to once again convert matter into energy (stars), but because the volume of the universe keeps on expanding, there will be a time when matter will not be able to aggregate sufficiently to be able to repeat this proses.
In summary, it takes energy to change energy into matter, and it takes energy to change matter into energy. If the required energy is not provided, matter will not "spontaneously" change into energy.

Campaign Workers
Campaign workers help candidates for government offices get elected. By calling voters, sending out fliers, advertising on TV, radio, and the Internet, and arranging for campaign appearances by the candidate, they educate the public about a candidate's strengths and concerns. Candidates for mayor, governor, Congress, president, and other local, state, and federal offices must use campaign workers and managers to handle many of the details of an election, such as budgets and expenses, fund-raising, and press relations. Campaign workers are needed all across the country, in cities large and small, to assist with primaries and elections.

Would it be a good assumption that December is Subway's slowest month, so they call it Customer Appreciation Month and offer a deal to drum up sales?
Lots of holiday leftovers around, so less reason to eat out. Also, a lot of people take time off during the last couple weeks of December, so maybe Subway's usual lunchtime crowd is smaller.
Just something interesting I came across recently:
You can calculate the nutrition information for your sandwich (obviously it varies a little based on who makes your sandwich) at that page. I was surprised at how easy it is to make a sandwich with >>1000 calories (especially if you like footlongs).
@geognerd: Actually, I'd be more inclined to think just the opposite.
Lots of holiday parties and small get-togethers that picking up a variety of subs and cutting them up into smaller serving sizes is quick and easy. Stopping to grab subs for lunch or dinner becuase everybody is too busy shopping, decorating, visiting, traveling, etc to cook. And, with several big meals within a pretty short period of time, I think a lot of families do go for something like this for meals more often than normal because they get enough full meals otherwise.
@geognerd: You missed it. Subway Customer Appreciation Month: SCAM
Either way, I'm going to pound these back for lunch many times this month. Thanks OP.
I notice they have these 2 sandwiches for $2 roughly once every three months.
is it safe to say that a footlong of one of these sandwiches is 4 dollars? will you have to buy two separate 6 inches if not?
they appreciate their customers with their two grossest subs :D (I'm probably still gonna buy em cuz they beat McD when I'm on the road)
Meatball sandwich for $2 or a poke in the eye.? Uh, meatball it is...
@doodude: if the sandwich already went cold that poke in the eye sounds mighty tempting xD lol
Well, it's no Lenny's Jersey Mikes, or Blimpie. . . but in the relm of chain "sub" shops: A meatball sub is a meatball sub.
@shiranissosexy: I have yet to be forced into buying two separate 6" instead of one footlong whenever they run a special like this. It's slightly less work for the employee and same amount of material out of their pocket.
@dpwellman: ehhh. Subway is, by far, the worst chain sub shop. But I must say, a meatball sub at any chain isn't anything to shout about. Might as well only pay 2 bucks for it.
@kd1357: 1140 in sodium as shown. 1620 sodium on cheddar bread and adding pickles. Wow. Just Wow.
@tarantino: just think if your artist adds salt!
I never did understand the whole idea of diet subs, I am sure Claire Huxtable would agree.
This conversation reminds me of this:
Mr. Hogan: Well, who can say no to 49-cent cheeseburgers?
Carla: Sure, but tack on the cost of medicine, your room, and pumping your stomach, and that 49-cent cheeseburger is gonna run you in the neighborhood of thirteen hundred dollars.
Mr. Hogan: Heh. See, that's how they get you
@tarantino: Right? I was so disgusted when I saw the nutritional info that I'm definitely going to think twice before eating there again. So much for them advertising it as a "healthy meal".
I will eat at least 5 of each of these, this month (or maybe 6 cold cuts and 4 meatballs...we'll see. Thanks for the heads up. Right on time, too - December just got here! The cold cut combo is actually what I'd normally order, if I went to Subway, so this is perfect and the last time they had this deal, I got a couple of the meatballs and was pleasantly surprised at how good they were. Anybody add anything else to their meatballs, other than meatball & cheese? I have them add some peperoncinis to it, which really makes it great. The order takers always ask me what I want on the sandwich, though, like I'd want lettuce and other veggies, which is something I had never considered. Do people dress their meatball sandwiches up with more than just the sauce, balls & cheese (and peperoncinis!)?
Oh and as far as Customer Appreciation Month goes...they have the $2 subs like twice a year, I believe. Last year, if I'm not mistaken, it was in November, not December.
can I order a meatball sub, hold the meatball? those things are GROSS!
@dazoneranger: Sure ! I have them add lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, green peppers, onions - try it ! (sure, include the pepperoncinsis as well) then have as much parmesan as they'll put on (a light dusting, as if it comes out of their pay...).
I got spinach on mine instead of lettuce (Could still taste the bologna)

This is a very minor point, but one which had been grating me for a while. I apologize for asking a relatively trivial question, but nevertheless hope that it is suitable for MO since it should have a definite answer.
In Mumford's books, for instance Curves on Surfaces or Red Book, there is thing called "prescheme" which looks like a scheme, and scheme is something else.
But this terminology does not seem to be used elsewhere, and if at all is the case, prescheme seems to be something cruder than scheme.
I will be grateful for clarifications regarding this terminology. "Curves on surfaces" is a nice book, but whenever I pick it up I find myself wondering about this without any avail.

Is it possible to reliably isolate and amplify DNA from individual sperm and/or eggs (from a fish)? I'd imagine that the small amount of DNA would make the PCR a bit wacky. We've considered irradiating sperm and attempting to create haploid females via gynogenesis, but I was wondering if there was a faster and easier method that could utilize gametes directly.
If your aim is to isolate the two haplotypes (chromosomes) maybe you should try flow cytometry. You might read this paper http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21181533 by Dolezel which is leader in the field, at least for plant chromosomes. I'm pretty sure that the applicability of the method depends on the physical properties of the chromosomes you have (especially their size distribution).

Odd isn't it.
Monta willing to stay if Bucks create more for him? Also brings into question if Monta's funk is an adverse reaction to BJ's sloppy play.
BJ better with a sharpshooter.
Ellis better with a distributor.
One or the other.
When the Pope steps down and names his successor what are the chances it'll be David Stern?
Honestly, I'd rather see Monta get $9-10 million per year for 4 years than Jennings get $15 million for 5 years. Paying Monta like that is paying a good player good money. Paying Jennings the max is paying a good player star money.
you got it Kareem. I'll bet that's what Herbie's bRain tRust was discussing yesterday?
Correct-O, Lew.
Agree with both [rural] and [Mamma]. But neither is now, nor probably never will be, the type of leader the Bucks desperately need in that backcourt.
Neither are a leader.....Monta can be more of a role player though than Brandon. In Brandon's mind he is a gift to any NBA team and a natural leader. I would prefer if they can sign Monta and trade Brandon to a team that can deal with him. Brandon is never going to take us to any promise lands, nor will Monta, but I fell Monta could help more getting there.
gbar - that's a fair assessment. My biggest issue with Jennings is that he sincerely believes he's a superstar. He's no Allen Iverson. My biggest hesitation with Monta, and I have several, is that Golden State has improved quite a bit in his absence (even without Bogut).
I give up. I still think Jennings is our best bet but when I see a game like last night I just don't know anymore. Ellis looked great but what about all those nights when he turns into the unapologetic volume shooter? Maybe this type of game makes Monta more marketable. I don't have a clue what Hammonds should do at this point.
Agree, I'd rather pay monta between the 2, Brandon is not as good as he thinks he is...I know it's not going to happen but it would be nice to see a Jennings and other players trade for Russell Westbrook.
Allen Iverson isn't even Allen Iverson any more.
Addressing the Jennings / Ellis thing as blocked fandom from seeing another area much in need, yet, not getting nearly the Air Time......
With Sanders out, we find ourselves in a similar scenerio relative to a Buck-less
Bogut. Who is manning the paint, and baseline? Both offensively (which here we
go again..another poor season offensively from the 'baseline boys') and defensively
as we note any team coming in with a couple of 'biggs' will challenge this group resulting all too often in defeat.
So while scribes, and fandom focus on the guards,
the team loses nightly because of gapping holes elsewhere as well.
This season has put a big bold underscore to the vulnerabilities created
by the architech of this mess. And, what better way to solve such issues,
Monta this...and Jennings that will do for appetizers.
To stop there with your banter, and pontification is to miss,
it seems to me, the much bigger and more compelling concern(s)?
Three. More. Years.

Kstein, I just caught up with the last thread and read your piece on Ersan. What you neglected to mention was how horribly he gets abused on defense. Repeatedly. The Bucks need more from a power forward. Unfortunately for Ersan, he is stuck in Tweenerville, unable to guard ANY position.
Thus Perfection, once again,
for those that believe in Illusions.....
AT least he has his offense, what has Phenom got?
....his new Steve Nash moves?
I the spirit of Kstein's post, I was trying to make a comment that didn't mention the guard play. Looks like Kstein doesn't want to hear it, though.
hey Lemmy!!!! he dunked a ball last night............that's vigahhhhhhhhhhh if I evah saw it?
If there are match up issues {zep} and certain players then have an
advantage on Ersan, then, I might be compelled to suggest thats part
of the deal. Also, in the 'help defense' that Skiles use to play, (I don't
know about Boylan) those sort of gaffes were often addressed.
While Ersan may not be the defensive savant you might like,
he does provide many other tools illustrated in the narrative of
which you speak, and in spite of many's disdain for his contract,
a contract nevertheless I feel he has earned.
Addtionally, as noted in {rural's} post above, as much as I
enjoy this guys game, I can watch him just as well in Brooklyn
as I can here, (with certain provisions) AND, and I am gettting to a
point where there is a part of me that would like him gone...
Seeing that so many here see only his downside, and not
the game he brings that I seem to have gravitated too.
Simply...in my eyes....
his upside far outways those things he still needs to work on
which may include tweaking his mano on mano D>>>
Monstah witt the LEFT HAND last night after a couple of whirling dervishes!!!
What I find interesting is not only that he kind of talked about Jennings. What is interesting is that he felt the need to talk about this topic, at this time...
One can make anything out of it, but it is kind of telling (the timing and all).
"And that's all I have to say about that."Hide replies
Seemingly along those same lines.
wherein we could not find an article on Monta a while back,
One looks now and there are no less then three in the last few
threads. It may not mean much, Or, ___________?
The smell of fire...
The smoke, from afar...
The signs...
Way too "coincidental," but in which direction, or in other words...
... who is going out and who will stay?
....they've picked a new pope?
Mark Pope for da new pope............get on board Cardinals.
Have you seen the correct smoke color? I thinks that's how they announce what's going on...
so. Rudy Gay, Pau Gasol, r no longer options.
Bargnani, Al Jefferson, Milsap, Josh Smith, Shawn Marion, JJ Redick, Boozer, Humphries, Ben Gordon, Gordon Hayward, Dudley, Marcin Gortat, Eric Maynor, DeJuan Blair, Shumpert, Cousins, are available
youd have to think that vets from Orlando, Sacramento, Phoenix would be available in trades for draft picks
the problem, which we STILL have, we dont have a direction
wer not rebuilding and wer not making championship movesHide replies
'....we don't have a direction....'
Or, a plan....
But, we got back, for three more years,
the same guy who is failing both of us {Panda}.
(This narrative does not infer that Panda has the disdain I do for Hammond)
i dont blame Hammond
when the coach and the owner have different agendas
its hard to implement ur plan
the owner is the problem
he wants playoffs
even the 8th seed
what i cant understand though
the last time we were a good team
we had 2 top 5 picks
we need to get there again
What a downer this past week plus has been. Just when folks were starting to get interested just a bit...bam.Hide replies
"Flyin High in April....
....Shot down in May...."
The biggest argument against the stat-geek WP48 people by the stat doubters(I'm looking at you prospector)is that having a Rudy Gay (or BJ, Monta, etc, etc) type opens up more opportunities for the Joe Lunchpail players (Udrih, Moute, Dalembert) who can then score efficiently when their defense sags to help someone else. What do the rest of you believe?
a) One Sir Jackalot per team helps all the non superstars on a team to get by
b) One helps, but two cancel each other out
c) You can't have too many of those guys (Alpha Males, the blogfather calls 'em), but it takes a Phil Jackson to make 'em get along
d) If you can't shoot 50%, you'd better be hitting three pointers and/or free throws or I don't need ya
All participants in today's survey are automatically entered in a drawing for tickets to this years draft.........Hide replies
I vote for item d.
I suggested exactly that to one Mr. Jennings long, long ago...
I already had you down for a d, BTW
You know me all too well, Bucks need Krakkens!
Or at least my "basketball-related tunnel vision..."
I kinda like a and b. There's something to be said for being able to get a shot off rather than having a 24 second violation or some other such turnover. At least there's a chance for an offensive putback and/or the defense having a chance to get set.
D. Watch a Spurs game, if you have a post guy who can suck in defense, a point guard who can shoot well enough to be respected in the pick and roll, and 3 guys who can spot up around the arch, you can't really be defended. In that scenario, nobody has to chuck nothing.
Then what are they doing with Happy Jackalot?
Veteran Leadership??
I just want to be in the draft raffle.
ya'all won't be smiling when Jiffy Al Jeff ends uP on the sPurZ for 'Blow my Trill Stack' and Montana's favorite pseudo-krakken 'The Blair Knee Project'/
Pseudo? Psuedo? Psuedo?, why-I-aughtta...........
Maybe Ortho-Krakken
"The Blair Knee Project."
Brilliant. Laughing hard and loud!!!
The B's have it, that means I don't care which one leaves, as long as he does
Who knows where it started but the IMB3, Bill Michaels, Gery Woelfel rumor of Nets offering Marshon, Humphries, and a 1st for Josh Smith or Ilyasova is intriguing.
Any chance the Bucks could take advantage of a team in win now mode like the Nets?
Could possibly be just wishful thinking on an extra pick or blowing the Nets "dump the hump" possibilities out of proportion but I'd like to see this ball rolling.Hide replies
Ilyasova or J-Smoove, what's the difference?
As much as I love all things Ilyasova,
If that move can be made (and just so I'm clear)...
*Marshon / *Humphries /* First Round...............
....For Ilyasova....?
Uh yea...make it happen>>>
Methinks it's Smith as first option then Sova as second option possibly without the 1st rd pick.
Does that still jive?
and always remember- rumored, heavily heavily rumored.
Its hard to even care about trades that don't break-up the backcourt. It's fair but seems like kind of a short-sell- the Nets love Illy and they don't even play those guys. Couldn't we make them take Gooden or something?
Of the names that are out there, I'd like to get in on Jared Dudley, or I suppose Redick. The Suns are so dumb they'd probably even take Monta for him...
The man from Montana can only dream of such trades...
Would Hammond make it happen?
As soon as he solves the debt crisis, global warming and cures cancer
Gotta love this thread, Bucks need Krakkens!
After such anger and frustration from the last few games, Bucks fans can still find ways to use humor when talking Bucks basketball.
How much humor will be left after the trade deadline is another matter...
i ALREADY have my shades on in case 'the future is too bright'.
I noticed BEasy (under his RealGM moniker), today has had it with BJ for tanking two straight Februarys and is ready to pull the plug. Never thought i'd see the day. BCJ may be one of the last standing loyalists.Hide replies
His faith will be repaid, in another life maybe........
You mean he's dropping lines on that forum,
yet, neglects the Homeland......

Maybe they like/respect the plus/minus stat there...
Naw, that ain't it
Must reading for all 'brethren' from the Bleacher Rapport, here's a small taste:
"Milwaukee Bucks Need to End the Brandon Jennings-Monta Ellis Experiment
The Milwaukee Bucks would be better off on finding a better backcourt player to replace Brandon Jennings.
Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images
The Milwaukee Bucks will never win anything of substantial value with the starting backcourt of Brandon Jennings and Monta Ellis. That much should be obvious by now. Sure, the Bucks might sneak into the playoffs as an eighth seed with a record hovering around .500, but the team will surely be dispatched in the first round. It is really hard to envision any other end to this season for the franchise."Hide replies
But according to Charles Gardner Monta Ellis is " more alive " ," and his energy was higher ".Isn't that a good thing? ;-)
You gotta hand it to those JS writers,they sure know how to put lipstick on a pig,but it's.............
still polishing a turd blossom?
bad shooting nights, guess who leads ?
Bucks Need Krakkens, u will love that articleHide replies
It brings me no joy to see how our two most talented ballers have fallen
THE BRETHREN ILLUMINATI could have already surmised that statistic.
for the record,
i like both Jennings and Monta.
also, i knew before the trade that this was a bad pairing.
at the same time, if we could get 1 or 2 better players that would take the pressure off of our 2 smurfs, they would look and play better.
love and marrige
phenom and monty
go together like a horse and carriage

you can't have one

WELLSBURG - With 4:30 left in the game and Brooke leading Weir 37-30, things appeared to swing to the Red Riders' side when Bruins' leading scorer Angela Staffileno fouled out.
Michaela Hinerman and the rest of the Bruins proved to be up to the task, though, as they held off a Weir rally en route to a 45-41 victory Thursday at the Brooke Athletic Complex.
"It was good for the team," said Brooke head coach Ryan Scherich of the win. "They came to practice yesterday and worked their butts off. We told them after the Park game (Tuesday's 98-30 loss to Wheeling Park) that it's over, it's done with, we took our lumps from the two best teams in the state, and now it's a new season.
Article Photos
BROOKE'S NIGHT — Brooke's Michaela Hinerman drives past Weir's Raven Young during the Bruins' 45-41 win at the Brooke Athletic Complex Thursday. Hinerman scored all 11 of her points in the second half to help hold off the Red Riders.
-- Fred Younce
TO THE HOOP — Weir's Shelva Burns floats through the lane for a basket in front of Brooke defender Emily Stuck for two of her team-high 16 points during the Red Riders' 45-41 loss at the Brooke Athletic Complex Thursday.
-- Fred Younce
"They came, busted their butts yesterday, and it paid off today."
After Staffileno picked up her fifth foul, Hinerman scored five of the Bruins' final eight points on a pair of layups and a free throw. She also played tough defense throughout the game to help lead her team to victory.
"I told them in the locker room (after the game), 'don't take this the wrong way, but when Angela fouled out what do you think everyone thought in the stands?'" said Scherich. "They said, 'we're probably going to lose.' I said to them 'then you got to prove everybody wrong.' I'm proud of them."
The Red Riders pulled within three points twice within the final 1:20, but each time the Bruins knocked down a foul shot - one by Emily Stuck and one by Marena Cline - to push the game back to a two-possession lead.
"This is a very simple ball game," said Weir head coach Bill Smith. "You've got to rebound. You've got to box out and rebound. You can't give anyone second-chance shots.
"If you don't execute that's what's going to happen. Tonight they played better than us."
"We usually shoot better than this, but they had the initiative to come out and play well and got a lead."
Staffileno was dominant before being forced to sit down, scoring 23 points to go with 14 rebounds and six blocked shots. Hinerman scored 11 in supports, all of which came in the second half. Cline added seven for the Bruins.
"Michaela was huge in the second half," said Scherich. "She had all her points in the second half. Those girls stepped up. They did what they needed to to win."
Brooke's biggest issue was from the free throw line where the team shot 12-of-28 for the evening.
"The only thing I'm disappointed with them is going 5-for-16 from the line in the fourth quarter," said Scherich. "We have to bury our foul shots. It shouldn't have even been a contest if we make our foul shots with Angela in or not."
Shelva Burns had a strong performance in the loss, scoring 18 points and pulling down nine boards. Raven Young and Alyssa Shingle added eight points each for the Red Riders who shot 12-for-19 from the charity stripe.
Brooke (1-3) heads to John Marshall Monday while Weir (0-2) hosts North Marion Saturday.
"We'll be back tomorrow in the gym," said Smith. "We've got to work. We've got North Marion Saturday so there's no easy steps.
"Tomorrow we'll regroup and get ready for North Marion. That's the great thing about sports, there's always tomorrow."

The Vale Columbia Center on Sustainable International Investment presents Re-Regulating Global Finance and the Investment Treaty System: Convergence or Collision Course?
In the wake of the financial crisis there has been a dramatic shift toward the re-regulation of cross-border finance. Empirical evidence and advances in theory on the one hand, and country experience on the other hand, has led a number of countries to regulate the inflow and outflow of capital into their countries in order to prevent and mitigate financial crises. Indeed, perhaps the most dramatic change was in December 2012 when the International Monetary Fund, long a champion of de-regulating cross-border finance, published a new 'view' on the issue that sanctions the use of regulation in some circumstances. However, as the monetary regime has come around to being more flexible with respect to regulating global financial flows, many nations are concerned that establishing such regulation would be incompatible with their commitments in the trade and investment regime.
Kevin Gallagher (Boston University) will present evidence from his own work and from a 'compatibility review' on the subject that was carried out by the Pardee Task Force on Regulating Global Capital Flows and Elizabeth Broomfield (Cleary Gottlieb) will discuss relevant legal developments and their implications for controls on financial flows going forward.
Pizza will be served.

Does every non-geometric graph manifold have fundamental group of asymptotic dimension 3?
This is affirmed in http://arxiv.org/abs/0909.1098 for closed graph manifolds, but I am interested in non-closed graph manifolds as well. Notice that the asymptotic dimension of such groups is always at least 2 (obvious) and at most 3 (by a result of Bell and Dranishnikov).

I have been wracking my brain trying to remember what the first vegan meal was I ever cooked was after deciding to eschew all animal products. I honestly can't remember. I'm sure it must have been something out of Vegan With a Vengeance since that is the first vegan cookbook I bought. It probably also had tofu. I thought it would be fun to hear about other people's virgin vegan cooking voyages. What did you make? Was it awesome? Horrible? Did you wonder what you were getting into?

I started totally clueless. I bought a tub of tofu, the only specifically vegan thing I could think of, and went home to make supper. I had never (knowingly) eaten the stuff before and I had no idea what to do with it. My first official vegan meal was boiled potatoes (I had been used to mashing them and adding butter), steamed broccoli (I had normally had it with cheese sauce), and a slab of raw unseasoned tofu. I took a bite and my first impression was "at least it's not horrible". I carefully scrutinized the ingredient list on a bottle of ketchup, decided that it looked acceptable, and slathered ketchup and pepper on everything. I then resolved to teach myself about cooking and vegan food and bought some cookbooks the next day.

I was newly married and had recently become vegetarian, and was considering becoming vegan, when I went to our local co-op and bought a box of 'health food mac and cheese" -- think Kraft, but with whole wheat pasta and soy cheese -- but still the little packet, add soy milk and margarine, etc. This was probably 1992 or 1993. I fixed it with great anticipation, my (meat-loving) hubby and I sat down to eat it... and it was without a doubt one of the most disgusting things I've ever put in my mouth. We both spit it out, laughed, and probably had sandwiches for dinner that night. I blame that box for delaying my commitment to veganism for several years -- I thought, if this is what vegan food tastes like, I could never do it! I laugh about it now!

I eased into going vegan by way of vegetarianism, so it's really hard to figure what the first intentional vegan meal was. There were two recipes on vegweb.com that really made the transition easier- one for black bean and quinoa salad, and one for instant chocolate pudding.

we transitioned over a period of about a year, but the first actual "meal" that i prepared was from the veganomicon. mexican millet, something i can't remember, and the chickpea cutlets. i was totally blown away and relieved that it was so delicious. i can only think of one or two things that i had made with chicken that beat how awesome it all tasted. another thing that might count was a raw spring roll & peanut sauce recipe from vegan planet that my first vegan friend passed along. i feel sort of foolish for taking so long, because it was mostly due to a large chunk of expensive pecorino romano that i wanted to use up.

My boyfriend and I went vegan overnight. Literally. One day we were omnivores and the next day we were vegan, so we....didn't eat that day. Or the next day. On the third day after despairing over canned vegetables we went out to some Pita Pit place and had vegan fare, and it was disgusting. The first thing we cooked? I think we had PBJs...After that it was subbing soymilk for regular milk, lots of cereal, and some weird vegetable dishes, like green beans with crushed red pepper. He hated that. I'm much better now. Now he moans over my cooking.

I was just vegetarian when I met my now husband.. who was vegan. For one of our first dates we made Navajo Tacos, which is a fried flat bread with beans and fresh veggies.
I am sure I made lots of other vegan food before that, but that was my first intentional vegan meal.

I cook so much that I had no problem experimenting with veggie-only meals. But the first "special ingredient" vegan cooking I tried was a batch of gluten from a box. Somehow I got confused and added twice as much water, wound up with a gloopy, sticky mess that ate half my kitchen counter and got in my hair and would not wash out of the bowl and the utensils.
But last weekend I made the Veggieroni/Seitan o'Greatness. It was marvelous. How far we have come. :D

I had an interest in vegan food before fully becoming vegan so it's hard to remember. My first week of veganism I tried making some vegetable fried rice. That did not work. I burned the rice to a crisp. I tried a mac and cheese recipe off the PPK...thought it was kind of icky, but that's to be expected the first time I think. I made some fajitas and that was a success. I also tried making some pesto...with dried basil. It was pretty disgusting.

I can't remember my very first vegan recipe, but pretty near the beginning, I got some veggie ground round and an Old El Paso taco kit and made vegan tacos. My bf at the time had been sleeping and didn't see me preparing it, so when he woke up and ate it, he thought he was eating a meat taco!!! We were both very surprised at how good it tasted. I had been lurking on a vegan forum for quite some time, so I had already looked up some recipes on the forum that got good reviews. I'm glad my bf and I weren't disappointed with the tacos! (Sadly, I soon discovered that he wouldn't TOUCH anything soy that I cooked after that. Even the tacos that he loved so much the first time. He couldn't bring himself to eat them knowing there was soy in them)

I ate a lot of vegan stuff before turning, but the first thing I made where I actually thought about its vegan-ness was a recipe for date balls (almond, tahini, dried dates, maple syrup all blended up - you know the kind). I saw it in a vegan magazine and thought YUM! Eighteen months later I went vegan. The first thing I bought was nooch, I had it on some toast with Vegemite and loved it.

My first recipes, years ago, were from the Farm Vegetarian Cookbook, and its companion cookbooks, like Cooking With Tofu. Those people are very sneaky... they just created entire cookbooks without including any dairy or egg products, but without scaring people off with a "vegan" title.... after all, who in the seventies had heard of veganism? Well, I certainly hadn't. But some of those recipes are now my old standbys; even though I love my shelf of newer cookbooks, it is very comforting to make some of the old favorites.

Overnight I switched from a heavy-on-the-cheese-and-eggs vegetarian to a vegan. I was terrified that I would accidentally slip an animal product into my cooking somewhere, so I ended up making mostly stir-fried veggies for a while. I didn't know what to do with tofu, other than deep fry it and dip it in hoisin. I had to abandon most of my old recipes and pretty much re-learn to cook. It took me a little time to build up a collection of delicious vegan recipes, but I did it, and now my omni family and friends happily eat anything that comes out of my kitchen.

My first vegan meal, is already 20 years ago. So, I don't rememeber to well. Probably, it was my first experience with tofu. It came soaked in water in a pot. So, I sliced it and fried it in a pan. Just like that. Of course it didn't taste at all.

I had been a vegetarian for a few years, and thought anyone that was vegan was completely crazy. There was no way I could give up my favourite eggs benedict with Brie and mushrooms from Cora's (a breakfast restaurant from Canada).
But, one day something just clicked in me, I can't really remember what it was, but I started Googling Veganism and what it meant. Before going "all the way" I read Becoming Vegan by Brenda Davis and Vesanto Melin and bought VWAV. I was very hesitant since many of the dishes had ingredients I'd never heard of (seitan....tempeh...chickpea flour? I don't think Loblaws sells those!) Anyway, my first meal was VWAV scrambled tofu and it was, and continues to be AWESOME!

My first adventure in cooking a vegan meal involved tofu sliced thinkly, and marinated in soya sauce with some liquid smoke added, then dipped in cornstarch and sauteed (trying to mimic bacon), until very crisp. Baby bok choy was boiled for only 2 minutes. This all was served over brown basmati rice, with a vietnamese spicy dipping sauce. Yum. I still make a variation of this and I even drink the cooking water for the bok choy, after it has cooled a little and I've squeezed a little lime into it.

I believe it was an udon dish from Dr. Neal Barnard's Foods that Cause You to Lose Weight (my first vegan cookbook) and it was in 1998. I had to buy a ton of spices I didn't have and had probably never heard of at that point (turmeric and cumin among them) and it was also my first experience with udon. It was a really fun experience and a great introduction to vegan cooking!

Officials just say no to medical marijuana
Mobile distribution joins brick-and-mortar stores in citywide ban
By Chris O'Neal 11/21/2013
Though the turnout was varied and the speeches impassioned, the Ventura City Council narrowly passed a ban on mobile medical marijuana dispensaries within the city, effectively shutting out all sales to local residents.
The ruling, which goes into effect on Dec. 2, came after a request to form a working committee to discuss the issue further failed.
After the 4-3 vote — with Mayor Mike Tracy, Jim Monahan, Christy Weir and Cheryl Heitmann in favor and Neal Andrews, Brian Brennan and Carl Morehouse opposed — several members of the community were left disappointed.
Stephen DeBaun, local proponent for the safe sale of medical marijuana, believes that the debate was flawed and the facts were misrepresented.
"Public safety is important, and every single study ever done has shown that dispensaries reduce crime," said DeBaun. "[Police Chief Ken Corney] contributed absolutely no pertinent facts in that discussion. His research produced a handful of anecdotal stories."
Ventura currently has four mobile marijuana dispensaries that, come Dec. 2, will have to kill the engine or move to neighboring Oxnard, where several operations are already established.
Weir cited an increase in crime around dispensaries in Santa Barbara as reason enough to ban them.
"As far as defining success, it's kind of different," said Corney when asked to give details on the success of legal dispensaries across the state. "Having contact with over 300 police chiefs in this state, it hasn't brought anything good to any community."
Commander Tim Turner cited violent incidents in Los Angeles and Bakersfield as examples of an increase in crime around pot dispensaries, but failed to provide any evidence or statistics that the dispensaries statewide are inducing a higher rate of crime.
Opponents of the ban cited the medical benefits of marijuana, including the therapeutic benefits such as pain relief and appetite stimulation for those suffering from glaucoma, forms of cancer, anxiety and other medical problems.
Bonnie Counseller, a former school nurse for the Ventura Unified School District, admitted to being anti-drug during her career. When her son was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, she changed her opinion.
"There was a trio of very strong drugs that would prolong life," said Counselor. "He started on them and could not keep anything down."
Reluctantly, her son tried medical marijuana and was able to eat while continuing the treatment.
"It was a miracle," said Counseller to the council. "I think there is a potential for abuse with any drug … but I think we need to make sure that we have a way for people who need it to get it."
Tracy claimed that visitors from outside of the city (and also citing the experience with dispensaries in Santa Barbara), would make regulating marijuana difficult.
"I believe, whether right or wrong, someday medical marijuana will be legal in the state," said Tracy. "This is something that we cannot regulate at the local municipal level. If we legalize it in Ventura, it will have a huge impact on our community."
A smattering of jeers fell upon the Council as opponents of the ban left the chamber following the vote.

Hello, it's Stephen DeBaun, quoted in the article.
According to my chat logs, Mr. O'Neal reported me correctly. Unfortunately, I misrepresented the data, and I want to correct that.
When I said: "every single study ever done has shown that dispensaries reduce crime"; that is not true.
I was trying to summarize an analysis of all the studies, and I oversimplified it. What I was trying to say was:
If you look at all the statistical studies that examine the effect of dispensaries on crime, they all either show no increase, or show a decrease. Neither I nor the Ventura PD could find a single study that showed an increase. Even studies done by the Denver and LA police departments didn't show a crime increase.
As strong as the evidence is that dispensaries don't increase or even reduce crime, my statement that *all* studies showed a decrease was false. I sincerely apologize for that.
"Weir cited an increase in crime around dispensaries in Santa Barbara as reason enough to ban them."
I would love to see this citation. I have searched for any study that shows that dispensaries increase crime, and have not been able to find one.
I can't believe he actually said this:
"I believe, whether right or wrong, someday medical marijuana will be legal in the state," said [Mayor] Tracy. "This is something that we cannot regulate at the local municipal level. If we legalize it in Ventura, it will have a huge impact on our community."
If this a misquotation or what is going on in his head?
Mr. Mayor, Medical Marijuana has been legal in California since 1996 when the voters approved it.
Denying access to the citizens of Ventura who have a doctor's recommendation to use Cannabis to treat their medical problems is just shameful. The city has got to be able to come to some sort of workable compromise.
The status quo forces legitimate legal patients to turn to the streets to get their medicine, thus rendering otherwise law-abiding citizens as criminals and increasing the risks associated inherently included in participating in a black market.

Pheasant season is in full force, and with another month to go, there's still plenty of time for hunters to get out there and shoot a pheasant. Unfortunately, because of the hot dry summers Kansas has had recently, birds and hunters, are in short supply.
"The number of hunters has definitely declined this season," said Manuel Torres, region 3 public lands supervisor for the Kansas Department of Wildlife Parks and Tourism. "There are still small pockets in some areas of Southwest Kansas that have a decent number of birds, but overall the drought has had a pretty big effect this season."
Not only has the drought had an effect on pheasants, but it has also limited the number of deer, quail and other game.
"Fishing has really been impacted by the drought," Torres said. "Water levels in fishing lakes across the state are the lowest we've seen them in a long time. Some lakes are even completely dry."
Although the drought hurt the beginning of pheasant season, Torres is optimistic that conditions can improve with some moisture.
"Any moisture we get can make a big difference," he said. "The snow we just got will definitely help, and anything we continue to get between now and the end of the spring will also help."
In the meantime, Torres is trying to make the best of the situation.
"This gives us time to do some maintenance and restoration we wouldn't normally be able to do," he said.
KDWPT has been able to do some wildlife restoration projects, make repairs to docks and other much needed repairs to state owned land.

Germany used its naval fleet to stop allied arctic supply route to the USSR. Were there any German operations, in Iran and Iraq (who were pro-German) to throttle allied supply routes through the Persian corridor? They could have easily found operatives to work for them there.
Donal O'Sullivan's Dealing with the Devil: Anglo-Soviet Intelligence Cooperation During the Second World War (2010) looks at the intelligence situation in Iran:
He does not buy into historical rumors about the planned assassination of Winston Churchill, Franklin Roosevelt, and Joseph Stalin at the 1943 Tehran Conference (Operation Long Jump, claims of which may have been a Soviet propaganda effort). Operation François also in 1943, a German parachute mission to make contact with the dissident mountain tribes to encourage them to sabotage Allied supplies, seems to be better sourced, if also ineffective.
German radio propaganda was broadcasted e.g. from Athens. I don't know how far it reached and whether it may have called for sabotage next to the obvious anti-Semitic agitation.
Overall, it seems at least in Iran there were neither direct nor effective (from a Nazi German point of view) operations to destroy supply routes in the Persian corridor in World War II.
There was at least preliminary steps by the Germans to use the Vichy French-controlled Syrian Republic and the French Lebanon as a springboard to occupy Iraq. Vichy France had forces in Syria and from 1 April 1941, after a coup d'état, Iraq was controlled by pro-German rebel forces under Rashid Ali. Vichy France was also increasingly cooperative with Germany. There were indications that actual German forces were beginning to move in.
Great Britain, fighting in North Africa, couldn't allow this to stand for a number of reasons - the threat to Egypt and Mideast Oil, to name two. So a scratch force was sent north to Syria : "Operation Exporter", that, after some difficulty managed to capture and occupy the region and end this threat of a land route to the Mideast.
Yes U-Flotte 33 was deployed in several waves from 1943-44 to intercept Allied shipping in the Indian Ocean. The earliest of these deployments in 1943 suffered from lack of range by the Type-IXC boats used but these were superseded by longer range Type-IX-D2 boats of the Monsun Gruppe missions.
Some of these like U-198, U-861, U-862, U-859 and U-852 were specifically tasked into the Gulf of Aden to intercept US special convoys 300 and 301 to Persia (Iran).
Special Convoy 300 comprised 12 Freighters which left New York July 3rd, 1944 including the vessels Benjamin Bourn, Sydney Sherman and John Barry. U-859 torpedoed John Barry on 28th August 1944 off the coast of Oman. Sydney Sherman was surprised to be bombed by long range German aircraft.
There were some quite pointed allegations made by US Consul William Eddy accusing that Churchill had deliberately leaked information of these convoys to Hitler via back channels to ensure these two convoys were stopped.
The United States in turn was accused of smuggling nuclear materials to the Soviet Union under Lend Lease with these convoys contrary to a prohibition Churchill had imposed upon the use of Tube Alloy secrets and Canadian Uranium.
The overall capability of the Kreigsmarine to deter shipping to Persia was extremely weak. Less than a quarter of U-boats dispatched to the Indian Ocean survived. Most of the total 47 U-boats sent to the far east were sunk outbound from France in 1944.

Foreign languages, as currently taught in college and universities, take as their province the culture both old and new of the particular national groups as revealed in their languages and literatures.
The culture—that is, the behavior, beliefs, customs, values, arts and mode of productivity—is an integral part of every foreign language course, from the elementary to the advanced courses in literature, civilization, and business.
Recorded and computerized material and tutorial programs provide the "on location" experience of cultural authenticity. Through the fiber-optic network of MSU Billings, computer access to the world's major newspapers, universities, museums and archives is available. The national language is the indisputable vehicle and the inseparable component of any particular culture, which becomes accessible only through its language. Thus are time and history, the self and the world structured and given expression.

When taking a hand held Nadir patch shot, the more accurately you can point the camera at the pivot point on the ground directly below the center of your tripod or monopod the easier it is to stitch in the Nadir patch shot.
I mounted a laser pointer onto my D800. The red dot is calibrated to point to the exact center of the picture. Now I can easily take an accurate offset hand held Nadir patch shot. I just need to remember to remove the bright red dot from the center of the patch shot prior to stitching.
I did the same thing for my NEX7/Sigma 8mm rig. Having a laser pointer sure makes stitching easier.

WACO (January 14, 2013)-Authorities removed 47 microwaves Monday from the McLennan County Jail on Highway 6, as the county's newly elected sheriff, Parnell McNamara, made good on his promise to take the appliances out of the facility.
The microwaves taxed the jail's electrical system and last year the county's maintenance department asked for $85,000 to upgrade wiring in the A and B wings of the facility.
County commissioners denied the request.
"The question is should we have to pay for that wiring. I'll tell you right now I am not going to spend taxpayers money to have microwaves in the jail," County Commissioner Kelly Snell said after the vote.
Microwaves were first made available to inmates in dayrooms in the early 1990s in the downtown jail.
The Highway 6 jail uses dormitory cells, each of which houses 24 inmates and each of which had a microwave that inmates shared.
The microwaves weren't purchased with taxpayer dollars, but instead from proceeds from the jail's commissary fund.
Then Sheriff Larry Lynch equated them to TV sets and said, "They help with the control of inmates."
Over the past 3 years, the McLennan County Jail's commissary fund paid for $21,000 worth of microwaves for jail use.
According to Texas Jail Standards, letting inmates use microwaves inside a jail is legal as long a jailer can supervise.
But according to Ken Witt, a McLennan County Sheriff's Deputy who has worked in the jail for 14 years, told News 10 in September 2012 that he's seen inmates use jail microwaves to cause harm.
"We had a problem where one inmate put oils and hygiene items in water, microwaved it, and threw it in the face of another inmate. It severely burned him, I mean, you can still see the scars on this inmate's face," Witt said.
Sheriff Parnell McNamara decided that the microwaves did more harm than good.
"First off, it was a safety issue. Secondly, the microwaves are a luxury that I don't think inmates deserve out there," Sheriff McNamara said.
But could removing this popular household item from the McLennan County Jail cause backlash among inmates?
Jail Supervisor John Kolinek doesn't think so.
"We expect the people who are housed here to go along with the direction that the sheriff brings," Kolinek said.
"If there is any issue with an inmate, they will be removed immediately."
A major facelift will come to the jail's commissary list, now that the microwaves have been nuked.
The commissary list is an itemized two page arrangement consisting of food items, drinks, hygiene materials, and books. Inmates are allowed to purchase items off of this list.
According to Kolinek, any item on the commissary list that must be heated up inside a microwave, will be removed.
Kolinek also said that jail administrators are continuing to look at the commissary list and will possibly remove more items in the future.

What is the EAR?
The Evaluation and Appraisal Report (EAR) was a report, required by the State of Florida, which evaluated how successful a community addressed major community land use planning issues through its comprehensive plan. Based on this evaluation, the report contained suggested revisions to better address community objectives, changing conditions/trends affecting the community and changes in state requirements. The State of Florida required each local government to prepare and submit an EAR to The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (FDEO) every seven years. It is prepared by the Local Planning Agency, adopted by the local government and then sent to FDEO where it was reviewed to determine sufficiency.
Florida House Bill 7202
On June 2, 2011, Florida Bill H.B. 7202was passed, amending the requirement for local governments to submit an EAR to the state for sufficiency determination. Instead, the state now requires the local government to determine whether there is a need to amend the comprehensive plan. If no amendment is necessary, the local government simply notifies the state in writing. If amendments are necessary, the local government must notify the state as well as prepare and transmit the proposed amendments to the State Land Planning Agency for review.
For more information on EARs and comprehensive planning, please visit the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity.
