Bruce Springsteen heads back to L.A. Sports Arena
Apart from the somewhat nutty Oscar nominations -- only two choices for best song, and neither is by Madonna or Elton John? -- media folks on the West Coast were up early this morning to hear one other announcement: the first leg of U.S. dates this year from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band.
The Boss, touring for the first time since the death of Clarence Clemons, kicks off his outing at Atlanta's Philips Arena on March 18, a dozen days after his 17th album Wrecking Ball arrives online and in stores.
The first single, "We Take Care of Our Own," is already racking up acclaim from the usual suspects (chiefly Rolling Stone and Billboard) and hints at more Guthrie-esque outrage to come. Inspired by the economic downfall and political polarization that has intensified since 2008, the album has been touted as Springsteen's fieriest, angriest work in years. (Hear it via a lyrics-filled YouTube clip after the jump.)
His tour, which should involve wife Patti Scialfa once more (she was missing the last time he came to town, in April 2009), thus far has only two dates west of the Mississippi, and they're both in California: April 24 at San Jose's HP Pavilion and April 26 at what has become Springsteen's usual SoCal haunt, the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.
Tickets for both of those shows go on sale Feb. 3. Prices: $67-$100.
Undoubtedly more performances will be added, considering he's already playing twice in Philadelphia and East Rutherford, N.J., as well as a pair of gigs at Madison Square Garden, April 6 and 9. (Seems highly likely that the nights in between those dates will be filled in, too.)
For now, this first leg wraps up with an April 29 appearance at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, followed by a May 2 return to New Jersey, specifically Newark's Prudential Center.
The E Street Band, with Charlie Giordano still filling in for the late Danny Federici, continues to be Roy Bittan at the piano, Nils Lofgren and Stevie Van Zandt on guitars, Garry Tallent on bass, Max Weinberg behind the drums and Soozie Tyrell adding violin and, as with Scialfa, acoustic guitar.

MGoEvents for Homecoming
[Evan Aaron / The Michigan Daily]
A special Schembechlerian edition of MGoRadio from the new Bo Store, 333 S. Main Street, downtown Ann Arbor. It is against code or something to advertise refreshments in a retail store, but I can tell you that Big Ed Muransky and Not As Big As Ed Muranksy 3,000 Year Old Druid Craig Ross will be there with us. Stop in and try on the latest jacket that I really really want. If enough of us are around after maybe we'll do Pretzel Bell or something.
For the 40-something-ieth time the Alumni Association of the University of Michigan will be hosting a massive Homecoming Tailgate. This year's is again at Ooserbaan Fieldhouse, but they're changing things up—rather than have Brian getting red-faced on the main stage, we'll have Brian red-faced yelling at Iowa-Wisconsin, plus four other activity centers, each with an array of food, activities, and touchable banners and such. This year's event will of course include tons of spirited entertainment, appearances by numerous University officials, games, and a host of fun for Wolverines of all ages. Then the Michigan Marching Band will once again lead us to the Big House prior to kickoff.
Bring cash for the cash bar, with wine and North Peak beer.
Guess The Score, Win Stuff: Illinois
Doing it a bit differently, thanks to reader Boliver46, who started this thread on the board. Winner gets donations to their favorite charity. LIST YOUR SCORE AND YOUR CHARITY. From Boliver46:
I did this last year vs. Utaugh, so thought I'd bring it back out since I won a shirt for a PERFECT 45-28 Colorado guess this year.
Again, I thought it'd be fun to make predictions regarding tomorrow's final score - and to benefit a good cause along the way!
Closest Guess to the Final Score Tomorrow vs. Illinois, and I will make a $20 Donation to your favorite charity! (No Human Funds, please).
I will use the first rule from the MGoBlog guess the score rules:
1. Readers predict the final score of a designated game by placing a guess in the comments, preferably in the format of [M score][hyphen][Opp score], for example "41-30" or "35-31 Michigan", or "28-24 Go Blue", or "38-0 Harbaugh!" etc.

What Is: Tampa 2
A lot of top FBS coaches made it there by being experts or even the originators of a concept. Iowa didn't invent Cover 2, but Ferentz's teams have run it for so long that his players have instinctualized most of its nuances, and his coaches know the fastest route to teaching it. Rich Rodriguez built the zone read option into the spread 'n shred offense. He can run it against anyone because he knows a million ways to tweak it to deal with whatever defenses try to do to stop it. Same with the pattern-matching variant of cover 3 that Saban and Belichick created for the Browns. Rocky Long is going to run a 3-3-5, or run his 3-3-5 stuff out of different looks. Bud Foster is going to hit you with quarters all day. Tracy Claeys is going to play man.
Michigan's next opponent is one of those guys. Lovie Smith built a good NFL coaching career by running the Tampa 2 defense, and Illinois is currently experiencing the growing pains of that conversion. Smith's defensive coordinator is Hardy Nickerson Sr., who imported his eponymous son from Cal to play the crucial middle linebacker role—that is not going well. Last week against Rutgers they blew up the depth chart, sitting longtime starters at all levels for freshmen redshirted and not. When you decide what you want the rest of your life to be, you want the rest of your life to start right away, no matter how long Taylor Barton has started for you (or Brian's Draftageddon team).
This baby version gives us football laymen an interesting opportunity to see Smith's scheme in Rodriguez 2008 mode, when the skeleton of the thing is there and untainted by all the things its practitioners will learn to do to make it good. So once you see the concept, it should be uniquely easy this Saturday to pick it up on the field.

Things discussed:
- At least Notre Dame didn't jazz us this year.
- Michigan State as the Beilein Michigan program: how did they get so bad so fast?How good are they when they inevitably rebound?
- What did we learn about Ohio State? The next pro offense of any consequence they'll see is Michigan. The trick to Bad J.T. Barrett is make it rain.
- Don Brown's DBs are much better prepared for Ohio State.
- Biggest concern until Columbus: Indiana.
- Playoff route is beat Ohio State and win conference championship, period.
- Mo Hurst had his best week of practice ever.
- Purdue should run the triple option.

Fee Fi Foe Film: Illinois Defense
Previously: Illinois Offense
A good D-line only does so much when you have this back seven.
Nebraska had eight real drives against Illinois. This is how they went:
- Four touchdowns (13 plays-75 yards, 18-75, 11-59, 2-70)
- Drives of 11-47 and 10-53 ending in field goal attempts (one make, one miss)
- Two plays, 28 yards, hilariously bad Tommy Armstrong interception
- 5-play, 17-yard drive in Illinois territory ending in a lost fumble
The Huskers didn't have much in the way of explosive plays; they still had a scoring opportunity every time they didn't turn the ball over, and those turnovers were Nebraska making bad plays instead of Illinois doing something particularly good.
The Illini do boast a disruptive defensive line, but they can be pushed around, and that back seven is having a rough go.
Personnel: Seth's diagram [click to embiggen]:
The Illini have made a few lineup changes in the weeks since Nebraska. Taylor Barton, who did not look good at free safety in this game, has been yanked in favor of freshman Stanley Green, who hadn't played a defensive snap until the Purdue game two weeks ago. Freshman Kenyon Jackson has replaced Rob Bain at defensive tackle for reasons that elude me. Nickel Chris James has lost his role to normal starting corner Darius Mosely, who slid inside to make room for JuCo transfer Amari Hayes on the outside. The lineup above, to say the least, is not set in stone.
Base Set? Illinois had played more 4-2-5 nickel than anything else, but Nebraska's heavier formations revealed how they'll likely line up against Michigan. The Illini play a 4-3 against those sets, often with a safety rolled into the box:
They play both over and under fronts when in a 4-3. While normally a Tampa 2 team, they played a lot of one-high coverage in these scenarios.
[Hit THE JUMP for the rest of the breakdown.]
Upon Further Review 2016: Offense vs Rutgers
SPONSOR NOTES: Oh man if I keep talking about this trailer thing it'll be a thing and then I can see some dang games at tailgates. This has always been a downfall of tailgating: not seeing things. By repeatedly bringing it up here I may force Matt to do this thing. Yes. Yes. I have the power!
In addition to being a gentleman replete with Michigan tickets and possibly a trailer, Matt is also a good man to know if you need a mortgage. It's striking that we actually get non-astroturfed comments about positive experiences with Matt not infrequently.
If you're buying a home or refinancing, he's the right guy to call.
FORMATION NOTES: Pepcat!
This concludes your formation notes.
PERSONNEL NOTES: A ton of rotation in the second half. Speight got the first half and then Morris and O'Korn alternated the rest of the way. Bushell-Beatty started at LT and was briefly knocked out; Michigan moved Cole to LT and inserted Kugler at C in response. The second string line was Ulizio-Bredeson-Kugler-Ownenu-Dawson, FWIW.
RB snaps split just about equally; ditto FB with Henderson getting a third of the snaps behind Poggi and Hill. Probably the most interesting depth chart item was snaps past the starters at WR. Those went Ways 19, Crawford 14, Harris 12, McDoom 7, Gentry 6.

Okayu (rice borridge) is easy to digest, so people in Japan commonly eat it when having a cold or so on. This is a basic recipe to make plain okayu. Various ingredients such as chicken and radishes can be added if desired.
What You'll Need
- 1/2 cup Japanese rice (short grain rice)
- 3 cups water (adjust the amount of water based on your preference)
- 1/2 tsp salt
- for toppings (optional):
- chopped green onion
- sesame seeds
- umeboshi (ume pickles)
How to Make It
Wash Japanese rice and drain. Put water and rice in a heavy bottomed pot or earthenware pot. Leave it for about 30 minutes. Cover the pot and put it on medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn down the heat to low and cook the rice for about 30 minutes. Stop the heat and let it steam for about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Serve into individual rice bowls. Put toppings, such as chopped green onion, sesame seeds, or/and umeboshi if you would like.

Major-General George Frederick Hopkinson OBE MC (1896 – 9 September 1943) was a senior British Army officer who commanded the 1st Airborne Division during World War II. After working for a period prior to the beginning of World War I as an engineering apprentice, Hopkinson joined the British Army and was commissioned as a second lieutenant into the North Staffordshire Regiment and then posted to France as a signals officer in the 72nd Brigade. He was awarded the Military Cross for meritorious actions during the retreat of the British Army during early 1918; after the end of the conflict he gained a degree in civil engineering and travelled Europe, before rejoining the British Army in the mid-1920s and working his way up to the rank of major.
Retiring from the British Army a second time to take up a civil engineering job in Turkey, Hopkinson rejoined at the beginning of the Second World War in September 1939. After seeing action during the Battle of France, for which he was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, he was promoted to major-general and given command of the 1st Airborne Division in May 1943. Instituting a strict regime of training, Hopkinson ensured the division was ready to participate in Operation Husky, the Allied invasion of Sicily. When Sicily had been successfully conquered, the Allies landed in Italy; Hopkinson accompanied 1st Airborne Division as it landed at the port of Taranto, taking the surrender of the Italian forces in the area. The division then began advancing northwards against stiff Axis resistance, and Hopkinson was killed by machine gun fire as he witnessed an assault by the 10th Parachute Battalion on a roadblock held by German paratroopers.
Early life and First World War[edit]
Prior to the start of the First World War, Hopkinson worked as an apprentice at an engineering works at Retford, Nottinghamshire. Too young to join up when the conflict began, he enlisted in the British Army in early 1915, joining the Officers Training Corps and then being commissioned into the 4th Battalion, North Staffordshire Regiment as a second lieutenant (on probation) on 27 March 1915.[1][2] After a short period on Guernsey with them, Hopkinson was posted to France as a signal officer in the 72nd Brigade, 36th (Ulster) Division.[3] On 16 September 1918 he was awarded the Military Cross for his actions during the retreat of the British Army in 1918; the citation read:
Lt. George Frederick Hopkinson, N. Staff. R., Spec. Res.
For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a fortnight's operations of a most arduous description, his services in maintaining communication between brigade headquarters and the front line were most valuable, and his example of fine personal courage and coolness under heavy fire, worthy of the highest praise. On one occasion, having been unable to find the battalion to whom he was to convey orders for retirement, he returned a second time, but encountered an enemy patrol, who opened a heavy fire. Eluding the patrol, he came across one of our wounded, whom he helped to get on to his motor-cycle and managed to convey back to safety, though all the time being subjected to heavy fire.[4]
Between the wars[edit]
Hopkinson left the Army shortly after the end of the conflict, and in 1919 enrolled in Caius College, Cambridge, where he studied for a civil engineering degree. When he had finished his studies, he spent some time travelling throughout Europe, visiting Poland, the Baltic States and Russia.[5]
However, after this period of travelling, in 1923 he returned to the Army and the North Staffordshire Regiment, and by the following year had reached the rank of captain. He began studying for entry into the Staff College, Camberley, and attained a place in the institution in January 1930.[6] When he passed out of the Staff College he was seconded from his regiment and appointed as a General Staff Officer (GSO III) to the War Office, and was promoted a short time later to GSO II at the School of Artillery at Larkhill; during the period, he also learnt to fly, gaining his pilot's license in 1933.[7] In 1936 he returned to his regiment and commanded a rifle company as a brevet major, but in 1937 he once again retired from the Army, taking a job in a civil engineering firm that had operations in Turkey.[8]
Second World War[edit]
When the Second World War began in September 1939, Hopkinson immediately rejoined the Army and was posted to the Staff of the Military Representative that served on the Supreme War Council.[9] In November 1939 he took command of a General Headquarters (GHQ) Reconnaissance Unit which served throughout the Battle of France; injured during a motorcycle accident, he recovered in time to evacuate himself and many of his unit's vehicles from Dunkirk. He was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire on 20 August 1940 for his work during the Battle of France, in particular as liaison officer to Belgian forces.[10][11] He then qualified as a parachutist and was then assigned to the British Army's airborne forces; as he trained he helped to pioneer a number of airborne tactics, including the delivery and casting off of gliders from the transport aircraft towing them.[12] By April 1943 Hopkinson had been promoted to the rank of major-general, and assumed command of the 1st Airborne Division; informed that Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily would take place in several months, Hopkinson was determined that the 1st Airborne would participate, and thus implemented a tough training regime to ensure that the division was sufficiently prepared.[13]
Operation Husky began on the night of 9 July with an airborne assault by 1st Airlanding Brigade and 1st Parachute Brigade of 1st Airborne Division, and elements of the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division, with both divisions suffering heavy losses in men and equipment as they carried out their objectives.[14] Due to a number of factors, including poor navigation and the inexperience of the pilots of the transport aircraft, many of the gliders transporting 1st Airlanding Brigade failed to reach their assigned landing zones. One such glider carried Hopkinson and members of his staff; the tow-rope of the glider was detached prematurely and it was forced to ditch in the ocean. Although uninjured, Hopkinson was forced to wait by the partially submerged glider until daylight, when he was picked up a Royal Navy destroyer.[15] After both brigades had accomplished their missions they were withdrawn to North Africa to recover, and Allied ground forces began to fight through Sicily; fighting ended on 17 August, and in early September the Allies launched their invasion of Italy itself.[16] On 8 September 2nd Parachute Brigade and 4th Parachute Brigade landed in Italy, followed several days later by the remainder of the division landing at the port of Taranto. Hopkinson landed with the rest of the division and accepted the surrender of the Italian garrison there, then ordered the division to advance northwards. Fighting was fierce against a strong German rearguard, which set up a number of ambushes and roadblocks to deter the division; one such roadblock was set up near the town of Castellaneta and defended by a unit of Fallschirmjaeger.[17] On 9 September, the 10th Parachute Battalion assaulted the roadblock, with Hopkinson in close attendance; during the fighting, Hopkinson was hit by a burst of machine gun fire and killed.[18] He was replaced by Brigadier Ernest Down, commander of 2nd Parachute Brigade.[19] Hopkinson was the only British airborne general to be killed during the Second World War.[20] He is buried in Bari War Cemetery.[21]

Cara Delevingne's Hybrid Hairstyle
From the editors of ELLE.com, the top models opts for a very different look
Advertisement - Continue Reading Below
Fresh off her reported split from girlfriend Michelle Rodriguez, Cara Delevingne stepped out in London yesterday looking very, very different. The supermodel ditched her usual free-flowing locks in favor of a bun/braid hybrid that was totally un-her. Yet Cara seemed determined to make it her new look, wearing it to not one but three different events—even when she changed clothes each time. She wore it to a premiere at the Sky Arts Playhouse as well as to the launch of Kate Moss x Topshop.

In High School, Junior year, we all had to choose an author to focus on as our major author. I was lucky enough to end up with Ray Bradbury, who I loved, and really enjoyed the project.
15 Years Later, I'm finally getting to make direct use of that initial foray into Bradbury, as Unexpected Productions puts up the show I proposed, The Improvised Man.
It's been a really fun project to work on for me… Bradbury writes a lot of fantastic and futuristic stories, but they all depend a lot on his characters and their relationships with each other and with whatever the subject of the story is. Since these are the things that, to me, really make an improv scene work, I'm excited to see what we can do with it on stage!
Belgium as been awesome so far! Kevin, Susie and I flew out on Friday at 7:30 am, and arrived at 7:00 am Saturday in Brussels. Fairly uneventful flight, although a woman three rows in front of us had a stroke and was attended to by paramedics who happened to be on board. I was hungry, so I ate a banana and peanut-butter sandwich while I watched them work.
From Brussels, we took the train to Leuven, and were picked up by our host, Jerome and taken to his house, which seems to have about 40 rooms, all connected by odd doors, hallways, and twisty staircases. Also, there's a room in the middle with no doors to it. Jerome says he climbed into it once, and its empty, but I don't know. Susie says she felt a presence her first night up to the bathroom. And because its Susie, it generally annoyed her by not responding to her hello.
Leuven is one of those neat old walled Europeans towns, with a great town square and amazing beer. We have bicycles, and bike along a canal every day. (Considering the amount of beer we've been drinking this has made for some interesting rides home) They have the "Longest Bar in the World" which is a giant square with bars stacked side by side as far as the eye can see. They have rotating closing hours, going clockwise, so as long as you keep moving, you can stay out as long as you want. :)
Sunday, we performed shortform with everyone in two groups. There's La Gata, from Columbia, Improv Melbourne, Inspinazie, from Belgium, and us. Audiences here are definitely less friendly to gagging, which is great: it leaves us room to do some more truthful exploration on stage.
Monday, we workshopped, and Monday night, we performed Improvised Shakespeare with Improv Melbourne: This was one of my favorite shows I've ever done, and I left feeling super happy. (First curtain call, too!) We did a tragedy, and played it fairly dramatically, which felt great. I really love playing with the imagery and metaphor in Shakespeare. And I had a blast playing with Jason, Patty and Rama from Melbourne, who all had a great time!
Yesterday, Tuesday, we workshopped again, and then performed Campfire with Inspinazie. On Sunday, they played a form called The Wake, which is derived from Campfire (although it doesn't rely on audience stories, which is integral to Campfire to me, so it felt very different). Campfire was fun, since Belgium doesn't have a tradition of sitting around a campfire and telling ghost stories. As it turns out, the audience stories were very close to what we hear in the States, so I suppose ghosts and haunts know no borders. After us, La Gata performed Chubimba (sp?), which is their action movie style. Was fun to watch, as the Columbians are very physical and aren't lazy with their mime work the way we Americans tend to be. :)
Woke up early this morning, which is why I'm blogging. We're heading to Bruges today, which is supposed to be beautiful. No performances from us tonight or tomorrow: On Friday, we're performing Spoken, and I'm looking forward to it!

Wow, all true!
Back when I was writing a lot of poetry, my standards got better much faster than my actual ability did. I became insecure, and it was easy to be jealous of other poets, dismissive of their poetry, etc. Looking back, it seems pretty ridiculous, and I can pin it to one thing. I was basically internalizing questions like "What level am I at?", "What level SHOULD I be at?", "Am I good enough?", "Am I better than X?", etc. Basically, I was trying to measure my position on some made-up graph.
With improv and with illustrating, I've tried to take a different tact, and its done me a ton of good. Rather than ever trying to measure my ability against any standard or anyone else's ability, I've only let myself measure it as, "Am I getting better?" In other words, now I work at measuring my direction rather than my position. There are a ton of benefits to asking the question in this way.
* It's independent of other improvisers, so I can enjoy seeing my peers do great things and not worry that it somehow shines a poor light on me.
* It is, by nature, a constructive question: I don't spend much time asking if I'm getting worse, or worrying about how fast I'm getting better.
* When I have a bad performance or drawing, there's only an instance where I have to answer my internal question negatively, and I can then immediate learn from the performance, and shift the answer back to a positive one.
* If the answer is ever, "no", I can go do something about it immediately. This is a big deal for me, as I always feel empowered, where, in the past, I often felt "stuck" until I received some big compliment.
This isn't limited to creative pursuits. I like it when it comes to fitness, for instance. If I focus on, "I'm overweight", I'm stuck with a fact that takes a long time to change. On the other hand, if I focus on, "Am I losing weight?" or "Am I on my way to being in better shape?" I can go change the answer to that immediately.
Of course, as we get better at something (or closer to our ideal weight), progress certainly slows down, and we have to be ready for that. I think there are some great ways of reforming the question at that point (which is not to say I've reached this point in too many areas <grin>): in some cases, I may decide I'm good with where I've gotten, and I'm going to reform the question as, "Am I maintaining where I want to be?" In more cases, though, I change the question to something like, "Am I broadening my abilities? Am I using my abilities to become better at other thing? Am I finding new ways to enjoy doing this? Am I helping others to be better?"
These are different questions, but they're still ways of measuring the direction you're heading rather than the point you've arrived at. So what direction are you heading?
I'm picky about found art, but I really like this one:
Google Translate - Fastest Rising (U.S.), 2008
1. you
(Source: http://www.google.com/intl/en/press/zeit
I promised myself to look back at this post four years later, and determine how accurate my worst fears and hopes about Bush's second term were. Keeping my promise (unlike my promise to post art here!), here goes...
Each fear had a positive outcome that would prove me wrong as well.
Fear 1
We leave Iraq in chaos, without apology, thereby completing a war that (a) kills thousands of Iraqi civilians and over a thousand American troops, (b) increases anti-American sentiment around the world (much of which is, after this outcome, completely justifiable), and (c) costs our country billions.
Result: A Little Better than Feared
Well, we didn't leave... but its still in chaos, and its definitely cost us billions. Anti-American sentiment is pretty high, and we've seen it in a few places. But at least we've kept our responsibility to getting things a bit more stable, and we're there. Its kind of interesting that, while I never believe we should have gone to war in the first place, the surge will probably be viewed by history as a success (although there were a lot of contributing factors to settling things down a bit). I'm going to say that my fear didn't come true. Things didn't get much better, but they haven't gotten too much worse. I'd say my postive outcome came true, so I'm going to mark this fear as not coming true.
Fear 2
Religious law prohibiting homosexual union is written into law, or even worse, amended into the Constitution.
Result: Better than Feared
While there was no gain at the national level, my fear didn't come true, and both candidates this year have somewhat committed to ensuring that civil unions extend the rights of marriage to homosexual relationships. So even if the administration didn't make any strides in the right direction here, the American people seem to have come along a bit. At the state level, we've seen some progress but also some resulting backlash... we'll see how California's proposition goes.
Fear 3
We go for more years without any gain, or worse, a loss of progress on reaching any kind of environmental sustainability.
Result: Accurate Fear
I haven't seen much gain. A little more awareness, but we're still headed for disaster. The "best" thing that happened was probably the insane gas prices, which forced us to look at our individual usage patterns. Americans recognize this problem, but they're not yet willing to make sacrifices on it. Just look at the trouble Obama is in today over a January comment that suggested an anti-coal stance. Honestly, we should all have an anti-coal stance: it doesn't have to be anti-industry or anti-labor: we just need to have a clear agenda to move all of us, people, industry, and laborers over to alternative energy production. And so far, I don't see enough being done.
Ammended Fear:
This wasn't really listed as a fear, but I made an incorrect assumption that Bush might try to appoint a judge to the supreme court with a clear anti-Roe-vs-Wade bias. I didn't like all his picks, but John Roberts seemed like a pretty good one. So I'll give props to Bush for that one, and admit that I misunderestimated him. :)
Overall Result: Tony is not the next Nostradamus. Its good to remember that the fears that develop during campaigns are usually overstated. Fears that nothing will change are likely more accurate than fears that everything will change. So my new fear for this next administration, whoever wins, is simply that not enough changes... or that changes come from crisis rather than planning.
We shall see!
While in Arizona, I sketched a lot in my journal, and I realized I've not been good a doing so. As such, I'm going to try and post a sketch a day. My schedule means I'll probably miss days sometimes, so the rule there is that I have to catch up on Sunday.
I'm not holding myself to any kind of standard. I may post sketches, paintings, posters, or even doodles some days. And I may post older sketches sometimes, just for the heck of it.
While in Arizona, we came across a historical marker where they found the original Smokey the Bear, a cub who had lost his mother to a fire, and who had two burned paws.
Sue and I are back from our Cascade Pass to Steheikan backpacking trip... it was awesome! Now I'm preparing to take off for Arizona, for another week of hiking / backpacking with Miles Baxter, Scurge of Hexapoda. Pictures soon!
When I return, I want to refocus how I use this blog. Up until now, its been a random dumping place for whatever artistic passions are currently grabbing me, along with occasional "random life" posts, like this one.
I may spin off art and improv into their own sub-blogs, but I only want to do that if I can find a way to post more without taking too much time away from Sue, work, and pursuit of said artistic interests. We shall see!
It occurred to me today that, with my iPhone and Wikipedia companion,
I finally have The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Of course, my 3g access would probably be limited from the hold of a Vogon

Our March 17, 2016, Image of the Day offered a satellite perspective on how sand mining has changed the coastline of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China. The photographs below provide a view of sand mining from the ground. James Burnham, an ecologist with the University of Wisconsin and the International Crane Foundation, took the photos while conducting field research on wintering waterbirds at Poyang Lake. "Sand mining has compromised the ecological integrity of the lake by contributing to less predictable seasonal water fluctuations and to a series of recent low water events," he said. "This is a lake that hosts 98 percent of the endangered Siberian Cranes and Oriental White Storks, as well as a significant number of over a dozen other endangered waterbirds in the winter."

Maslow reconsidered: A review of research on the need hierarchy theory
- PubMed: 21506202
- arXiv: doi:10.1016/0030-5073(76)90038-6
The uncritical acceptance of Maslow's need hierarchy theory despite the lack of empirical evidence is discussed and the need for a review of recent empirical evidence is emphasized. A review of ten factor-analytic and three ranking studies testing Maslow's theory showed only partial support for the concept of need hierarchy. A large number of cross-sectional studies showed no clear evidence for Maslow's deprivation/domination proposition except with regard to self-actualization. Longitudinal studies testing Maslow's gratification/activation proposition showed no support, and the limited support received from cross-sectional studies is questionable due to numerous measurement problems. The difficulties with testing the theory are discussed and the conceptual, methodological, and measurement problems of the studies reviewed are detailed. The implications of the findings and future directions for research are outlined. © 1976.

The World Urban Forum (WUF) is the world's premier conference on urban issues. It was established in 2001 by the United Nations to examine one of the most pressing issues facing the world today: rapid urbanization and its impact on communities, cities, economies, climate change and policies.
Organized and convened by UN-Habitat, the Forum has become one of the most open gatherings on the international arena, for exchanging views and experiences on urban challenges. The inclusive nature of the Forum, combined with high-level participation, makes it a unique United Nations conference and the premier international gathering on urban issues.
Objective of the Forum
The World Urban Forum has the following objectives:
- raise awareness of sustainable urbanization among stakeholders and constituencies, including the general public;
- improve the collective knowledge of sustainable urban development through inclusive open debates, sharing of lessons learned and the exchange of best practices and good policies; and
- increase coordination and cooperation between different stakeholders and constituencies for the advancement and implementation of sustainable urbanization.
WUF9, taking place in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia in February 2018, has been recognized by the General Assembly resolution 70/210 as the first session to have a thematic focus on the implementation of the New Urban Agenda to be adopted at the United Nations Conference on Housing and Sustainable Urban Development, Habitat III, taking place in October this year. More information on WUF9 will be found from October 2016 here.
WUF10 will continue the effort to monitor progress on the implementation of the New Urban Agenda. The New Urban Agenda will feed into the overall Forum discussions as a key element with a review of the ongoing implementation by UN-Habitat and other stakeholders.
WUF10 bidding ongoing
The WUF10 selection process has commenced in July 2016 with a call of Expression of Interest to those cities interested to host the event in 2020.
The interested cities have received guidelines entailing necessary background information and a bidding questionnaire with hosting requirements. The structure of the bidding proposal follows the structure of the questionnaire. The deadline of submission of the bidding proposal is 1 October 2016 and the announcement of the selected WUF10 host city/country will happen during the Habitat III Conference in Quito.
For more information visit the Previous WUF sessions.

Insect Predator-prey Dynamics by A. F. G. Dixon
Book DescriptionMuch of our understanding about insect predator-prey dynamics has been due to studies on insect parasitoids. But do true predators such as ladybird beetles really operate in a similar way and how does this affect their use in biological control? The extensive literature on ladybirds as biocontrol agents shows that their size and rate of development is very dependent on the nature of their prey. This volume explores basic ladybird biology, their association with their prey and its effect on development rate and body size. Optimal foraging theory, field observations and laboratory experiments are used to illustrate how ladybird larvae maximise their rate of energy intake, and ladybird adults their fitness. The interdependence of these life history parameters is then used to develop a simple predator-prey model which, with an analysis of the literature, highlights the specific attributes of potentially successful biocontrol agents for all those interested in predator-prey dynamics.

Technical Trading Rules and Regime Shifts in Foreign Exchange
This paper performs tests on several different foreign exchange series using a methodology inspired by technical trading rules. Moving average based rules are used as specification tests on the process for foreign exchange rates. Several models for regime shifts and persistent trends are simulated and compared with results from the actual series. The results show that these simple models can not capture some aspects of the series studied. Finally, the economic significance of the trading rule results are tested. Returns distributions from the trading rules are compared with returns on risk free assets and returns from the U.S. stock market.

"I like this vintage style Santa graphic, but I read that the designer used a cutting machine to cut a red vinyl decal to afix to the cream painted wood board. I don't know what kind of cutting machine she is talking about and I wonder how pricey it is? I'd like an alternative to getting that Santa on there."
"This wall decor is very chic with any message you write on it! And it couldn't be easier. However, another option to using foam core board would be to actually buy an old thrift store bulletin board and spray paint it black. I think it would give the wall art a little bit more of a lived-in rustic look as the cork board adds texture and interest."
"This DIY holiday project is something that I would like to do at home myself. This craft is not for everyone's taste, but if you like a certain minimalist decorating approach and you've got a creative eye then this is for you! At first I did not even notice the picture frame in the background. It's used to attach the branch to it. Cute idea!"

Tombow Pencil Co., Ltd. was established in Japan in 1913 as a manufacturer of wood-cased lead and colored pencils. It is not an exaggeration to say that every student in Japan has grown up with the Tombow pencil.
During the past four decades, Tombow has diversified its manufacturing program to include ballpoint pens, roller ball pens, markers, correction tape, glue sticks, liquid glues, adhesive tape, and dry highlighters.

Pork Chops With Mushroom Cream Sauce - Low Carb
Total Time
Prep 30 mins
Cook 45 mins
Moist, flavorful, delicious pork chops, smothered in a savory mushroom cream sauce. Surprisingly light, yet satisfyingly indulgent. Inspired by PanNan's "Pan Grilled Pork Chops".
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 pork chops, 1 inch thick
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ground fine
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary, ground fine
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 lb mushroom
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 1 pinch black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 garlic cloves, freshly minced
- 1⁄4 cup white wine
- 1⁄2 cup heavy cream
- Combine herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Apply liberally to chops on both sides.
- Let sit on counter for 30 minutes.
- Heat olive oil in large cast-iron skillet until medium-hot.
- Set chops in the pan, and leave them alone. Otherwise, you will tear the herbs off. Cook each side until golden brown. Lower the heat if necessary. approximately 4 minutes each side.
- Cover the pan with a tight fitting lid. Turn the heat off. Let sit for 10-12 minutes. If the chops are less than 1 inch thick, reduce time to 6-8 minutes.
- While chops are cooking, add olive oil to a small non-stick skillet and begin sautéing mushrooms. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and add the garlic. When mushrooms begin to wilt, add wine. You are not trying to cook the mushrooms completely, just start the process.
- Remove chops to serving platter, cover to keep warm.
- Add mushrooms and cooking liquid to the pan the chops were cooking in, turn heat to medium-high. Stir up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow mushrooms to finish cooking.
- Add heavy cream, and simmer until reduced by half.
- You may return chops to the pan to reheat, or pour sauce over chops.
- Serve with your favorite green vegetable, and enjoy!

Absolutely amazing. Don't change a thing.
This is truly delicious! I stayed with the recipe except used garlic powder to reduce the carbs and I sauteed the mushrooms in Kerrygold butter. The only prep variation was that I only left the pork chops sitting with the seasoning for 15 minutes and it was awesome! Thank you so much! I will make again!
I almost didn't make this because I didn't have rosemary and I wanted a recipe I could throw together really quick. I am sure glad I did because it is delicious! Instead of all the seasonings I rubbed the chops with McCormick's Montreal Chicken Grill Mates plus a little more salt and pepper right before frying. I had super thin pork chops and just cooked them less with the lid on like suggested. I didn't have wine so I opened a can of sliced mushrooms and added them with the juice while cooking the fresh ones. My husband is going to love this! Thanks for sharing!

The Cycling Dutchman Blog provides information about some high-quality cycling books by Eric van der Horst. Currently, there are three guidebooks available: Cycling in Amsterdam and The Netherlands, London-Land's End Cycle Route and Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route (all in English). Where are you heading is Eric's tale about his cycling odyssey across America (in Dutch only).
To find out more about the books, use the top menu, to read articles, scroll further down. All articles are listed below according to the following themes: "Explaining Dutch cycling infrastructure", "Dutch cycling culture", "Dutch bike rides, Dutch-style bike rides in the UK", "further travels with the Cycling Dutchman" and "The Cycling Dutchman at work on other levels". Enjoy the reading!
Explaining Dutch cycling infrastructure:
When talking cycle infrastructure, people often get confused. What is a cycle path and what is a cycle lane? And why are the Dutch versions of these so superior and safe to use in comparison to what they call "cycle paths" and "cycle lanes" in the United Kingdom? Cycle paths and cycle lanes; the full story!
British racing cyclists often see cycle paths as a threat to their freedom to use the roads (and given the poor state of British cycle paths, we understand this fear!). But what if cycle paths were of Dutch quality? At the same time, in The Netherlands, many cycle journeys are still on-road! Sharing the road or segregated cycle paths? Well it is both!
3 pm; a Dutch school ground is full with parents, waiting to collect their children. It will be mayhem on the road outside of the school, right? Cars parked illegally, exhaust fumes, engine noises, hardly a place to walk, a lollipop lady trying to maintain order in the chaos; a school bus reversing into some kids? At a Dutch School Run, it is a different story...
Have you ever tried to follow the signs of a cycle route in England? You are on "National Cycle Route" 4, but where will it take you? And even if you now the destination of the route, can you trust the signs will get you there all the way? Probably not. Fortunately the Dutch understand the relevance of good signage.
Why do British roads always look as they were built for cars only? That has to do with the center road line with its long strokes, making the drivers comfy in their lane. Many British roads could be much more pleasant to cycle if the the center road line was removed. Lower speeds and more shared space by just a different lick of paint!
The cycle helmet; it is the biggest distraction from real safe cycling conditions. For over four decades, the people of car-dominated societies have been brainwashed with the myth. The helmet keeps being a good excuse for governments to do nothing to make cycling conditions safer. You won't fool the Dutch! The Cycling Dutchman on helmets
Another myth popular in car-dominated societies. "Cyclists should pay road tax". Indeed, the burden on society by people on bikes is enormous and should be heavily taxed! Or not? If you really compare the costs for society of both driving and cycling, you'll come to very different conclusions. And the funny thing is; even the Dutch have been there! Why tax on bicycle-ownership is nonsense
Dutch cycling culture:
The mountain bike is pretty much the standard bike model in many countries, but is this style of bike suitable for daily journeys? Are mountain bikes convenient for commuting or for a trip to the the shops or do they just cause back pains? Guest blogger Berno Brosschot explains the benefits of Dutch bikes. Quality bikes: the missing link in the UK
Bike theft has always been a problem in The Netherlands. The many unattractive clunkers you still see being used in large Dutch cities are mainly used to reduce the risk of theft, but the situation is not that bleak these days. Guarded bike parks can be found all over the place and there is always the convenience of the Dutch bike lock
The bicycle is at the heart of Dutch daily life. The fear in the night that your bike lights may not work, the benefits of having small children on a rainy bike ride or just giving the love of your life a lift on the back of your bike. The Dutch have hit their own charts with great bike lyrics, but what is the ultimate Dutch bike song? Looking for the Dutch equivalent of Queen's "Bicycle Race"
Many Dutch people assume that the bicycle has always been at the heart of their nation, but it took incredibly long for the Dutch to fall in love with the bike. Also, a lot of social unrest took place before The Netherlands became truly cycle-friendly. American writer Pete Jordan was the first to embark on a study on how Amsterdam came to be The City of Bikes.
The recumbent bike is a well established bike concept in The Netherlands. You'll see them regularly, probably up to a couple per day, depending where you cycle (they are less popular in urban areas). It doesn't happen every day though thay you'll face a banana bike. Guest blogger Wytze Bijleveld explains the joys of riding a banana bike.
Every year the National Cycling Holiday Fair opens its doors to more than 20,000 Dutch cycling holiday enthusiasts. Every European country proudly presents itself to get its share of the Dutch love for international cycle touring. Every country, except Britain that is. Read how I solely acted as representative for the UK for five years and meet The Netherlands' most eccentric cycling characters of the nation's annual Cycling Holiday Fair.

Dutch bike rides:
A great advantage of holiday cycling in The Netherlands is that there is so much route variety available within reasonably short distances. I try to reflect this with the routes in my guidebook and while I was compiling the guidebook routes for you, I also wondered; if I had to make a selection; what would be the 12 best bike rides of The Netherlands?
If you have just arrived in Amsterdam and start cycling there for the first time in your life, you'll feel overwhelmed. Cycling on the right hand side, those very different road layouts. but most of all, the pace of the average Amsterdam cyclist. Stay away from the rush of the locals and join The Ultimate Amsterdam Bike Ride, as featured in my guidebook.
A lot has been written and said about London's "Cycling Super Highways". To a Dutch person, just the name "cycling super highway" sounds ridiculous. We take you on one of Amsterdam's many cycling commuter routes, as featured in our guidebook. It doesn't even have a name, but is 100% off-road, despite the busy area it travels through. Amsterdam's East Corridor; a "cycling super highway"?
You love cycle touring and have done so all your life. Or you just have become a regular cyclist and start to be hungry for more. But, you also have two young children. Can you still follow your dreams? Guest blogger Tom Burslem tells the tale of how he and his partner embarked on an international cycling holiday with toddlers in The Netherlands, Germany and Denmark.
Scenic towns, beautiful beaches, impressive flood barriers and great vistas from the famous Dutch dykes. Heading away from cities like Amsterdam, The Hague and Utrecht, you'll really get a feel for rural cycling in The Netherlands. We take a close up of the Southern Route in our guidebook by Cycling the Dutch West Cape.
Cycle beyond Dutch cliches like clogs, windmills and the Amsterdam red light district. The guidebook Cycling in Amsterdam and The Netherlands - The very best routes in the cyclist's paradise truly allows you to explore the lowlands. Read about the origins and the full specs of this unique book: Cycling in Amsterdam and The Netherlands - The second edition
Dutch style bike rides in the United Kingdom:
Back in 1995, I cycled across London from north to south and perhaps I spotted three other cyclists over the two days that it took me. Twenty years on, cycling in London has changed a lot and can be a joy! My London East-West Cycle Route, as published in my guidebook, keeps you away from the rushed locals and busy main roads, showing the British capital at its best. London by bicycle: The East-West Cycle Route
If you fancy an easy cycling mini-break, also suitable for families, you may want to cycle from Bristol into the Somerset Levels. My guidebook provides a continuous enjoyable traffic-calmed route, easy to do over two to three days. Cycle under the famous Clifton Suspension Bridge, enjoy the views over the Bristol Channel and cycle via famous Cheddar! Cycling mini-break: from Bristol into the Somerset Levels
Our London - Land's End Cycle Route Book is designed for those who love cycling, but don't like traffic. The book takes you onto the most beautiful cycle routes of southern England, including the Camel Trail, Devon Coast to Coast Route, Bristol and Bath Railway path, Thames Valley route and many more! What makes the book unique is that the route is completely continuous, including detailed directions and local knowledge all the way. Read about the origins and the full specs of the London-Land's End Cycle Route.
The Devon Coast to Coast Cycle Route remains one of Engeland's best developed cycle routes, but it is still relatively unknown. Over the years, we have taken various initiatives ourselves to change this. We developed our Devon Coast to Coast package holiday, included the route in the London-Land's End Cycle Route book, produced a YouTube video and from 2017, there is also a dedicated guidebook available. In 2012, we also showed a group of travel writers around. It was a glorious day! Cycling Devon Coast to Coast with German and Swiss journalists

You may have heard about the Tour de Manche cycle route; developed by local authorities on both the English and French sides of the English Channel and part-funded by the European Union, some great cycle routes have been developed. The information available about the routes can be sketchy, so this article tries to reveal some mysteries and shows the legacy of the project; Cycling around the English Channel
Further travels with the Cycling Dutchman:
The Tour de France is the world's biggest cycle race. The performance of its riders can be legendary. The event keeps sparking the imaginations for many people. If you love cycling, you must take on a classic stretch at least once in your life. I did so too. On the occasion of the 100th edition of "Le Tour", I wrote about my own Tour de France encounters.
In 2002, I cycled the longest ride of my life, an adventure of 5000 miles cycling coast to coast in America. This ride is still vivid in my memories and I can still take inspiration and energy of this cycling odyssey when dealing with challenges of today's life. In 2012, I celebrated the 10th anniversary of this ride, browsing through pictures of the past. Enjoy my America Coast to Coast 10 Year Anniversary.
It is difficult to let somebody experience what it is like to be on a long-distance bicycle journey. It is difficult to explain to a non-rider how you can become "part of the landscape" and how the daily routines of arranging food and shelter at the end of a day's ride can be a wonderful experience. The film "The Straight Story" about a man who travels two American states on a lawn mower shows what can't be said; The spirit of cycle touring: The Straight Story.
The 2012 Olympic Games in London are now a distant memory for many. Many may have already forgotten that Weymouth was also part of the Olympic line-up, hosting the sailing events.
