How Music Works offers many answers to a question that I had never even asked. Now that I've read it I wonder, "How could I have gone so long without this information?" Musician and writer David Byrne crafts such an enticing collection of essays, dropping factoids and anecdotes along the way, that I was equally informed and entertained.
More of a blend of personal experience and hypothesis than a hard-line course in objective facts, Byrne tackles nearly every conceivable aspect of the art form: venues throughout history; the creative process; collaboration; recording; and business.
He was happy enough to share his dinner with the lanky man as they were both seekers. He sought the beauty of the Wisconsin countryside in the early autumn. The fellow who sat down beside him, his wool shirt buttoned tight though the day was a warm one, sought the relief of his misery in the beginning of The Illustrated Man, a collection of short stories by Ray Bradbury.
At last he stripped off his shirt in the heat.
"…he was a riot of rockets and fountains and people, in such intricate detail and color that you could hear the voices murmuring small and muted, from the crowds that inhabited his body. When his flesh twitched, the tiny mouths flickered, the tiny green-and-gold eyes winked and the tiny hands gestured. There were yellow meadows and blue rivers and mountains and stars and suns and planets spread in a Milky Way across his chest. The people themselves were in twenty or more odd groups upon his arms, shoulders, back, sides, and wrists, as well as on the flat of his stomach. You found them in forests of hair, lurking among a constellation of freckles, or peering from armpit caverns, diamond eyes aglitter. Each seemed intent upon his own activity; each was a separate gallery portrait."
He was an Illustrated Man, he explained tiredly. A witch from the past and future had stitched the glowing colors into his flesh forty years ago. He had wanted it done so he could always find a job at a carnival, but the pictures, all eighteen of them, came with a curse, and ultimately no traveling show would hire him and no man or woman would be his friend.

Fall of Giants by Ken Follett: Follows the fates of five interrelated families--American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh--as they move through the dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.
If you enjoyed the use of different character perspectives and tumultuous historical change over a period of time, here are some other novels you may enjoy:
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
A tale of love and war early this century. The protagonists are Stephen Wraysford, a British businessman, and Isabelle Azaire, a married Frenchwoman. They meet in 1910, she elopes with him, gives birth to his child, then remorse sends her back to her husband. But World War I will bring them together when he returns to France as an officer in the British army. (worldcat.org)
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck
The story of a farm family's Depression-era journey from the Dustbowl of Oklahoma to the California migrant labor camps in search of a better life. (worldcat.org)
It sounds almost too perfect to be true. Famed primate expert Jane Goodall had a stuffed toy chimpanzee as a little girl. She went everywhere with it, and together they explored the mysteries of nature.
Me...Jane is Patrick McDonnell's peacefully expressive interpretation of Goodall's childhood through his art, actual photographs of Jane, and the drawings of her youth. Jane starts out a very curious young girl, studying all sort of animals around her home. That curious nature leads to many answers.
Only Jonathan Lethem could turn an homage to the classic noir style into a wildly inventive exploration of language, loyalty, and the principles of Zen Buddhism. Lethem's fascination with noir played a major role in his debut novel, Gun, with Occasional Music. In Motherless Brooklyn, the reader is treated to a gritty interpretation of noir filtered through an unforgettable narrator—Lionel Essrog. As always, Lethem's writing is superb, and the construction of Lionel's narrative voice is a rare accomplishment.
Lionel Essrog is an inexperienced detective who has a complicated relationship with language. Lionel is always looking for an antidote – some sensation or substance that will temporarily quell the feral language percolating in his brain. White Castle hamburgers can have therapeutic properties, and fear will work in a pinch. But Lionel's mind always reverts back to an intricate arrangement of associative tics, repetition, and wordplay.
Franz Kafka's "The Metamorphosis" is a short story about Gregor Samsa, a salesman who wakes up one day to find himself turned into a large insect. It is a grim tale of social alienation that is frequently considered one of the most depressing short stories ever written. How could any writer possibly expand such a profoundly melancholy text into a novel-length adaptation? Quirk Classics, the specialty publisher behind such "revised" versions of classic texts as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Android Karenina, has attempted this with The Meowmorphosis, an adaptation of "The Metamorphosis" that has Gregor turning into a human-sized kitten rather than a bug. Although perhaps still too grim for some tastes, The Meowmorphosis does provide an interesting take on social alienation and a clever satire on Kafka's writing technique.
Growing up there was one present I looked forward to more than any other--a box of books. As an adult, it's still a favorite and I carry on the tradition with my son, nieces and nephews. Whether you give a box full or a handful, here are a few of my favorite 2012 picture books that are perfect gifts for the holiday season.
As soon as they open the book, readers will recognize "Black Dog" by Levi Pinfold as something special. The illustration on the end pages is beautiful--snowy woods with tall, bare trees whose height is echoed by a narrow red house. Turn the page and you see the home's interior is cluttered, cramped and delightfully cozy. Although similar in theme to the classic storyline, in this case the "monster's" not under the bed, but outside the house. Both parents and older siblings are frightened by the mysterious black dog they see through the windows and who grows in size as each new member discovers it. It's not the parents who vanquish the creature, but instead Small Hope, the youngest, tiniest member of the family. She bundles up, steps outside and bravely confronts it in a remarkable illustration where she is a mere yellow spot, barely an inch tall in front of a dog that covers a 2-page spread. His large, realistically rendered nose is so lifelike you can almost feel when it "snuffs" at her. Leading him on a wild goose chase, under a bridge and through a tunnel, the black dog magically shrinks in size until finally, he fits through the home's doggie door. The rest of the family who has hidden behind a makeshift fort, wearing various household items to protect their heads, gaze in wonder at their heroic little girl.
You don't have to be a rocket scientist to help astronomers learn about the Universe. You don't need a degree in biology to help track bird populations. Interested in what whale songs mean? You guessed it—you don't need to be an oceanographer to help scientists figure it out. All it takes is an interest and computer access and you can join the growing ranks of Citizen Scientists. Most projects provide tutorials or clear instructions on their websites. You don't even have to be an adult!
What Lyra enjoyed most was scrambling across the rooftops of Oxford, committed to the serious fun of war that raged amongst the children of all the colleges and the townies in between. There were pummelings with armfuls of rock-hard plums, mud fights, and even the occasional kidnapping. Yet for all of her wild behavior, Lyra was not an ordinary child. She was a lonely, genius child with aristocratic blood in her veins, and every so often some unfortunate young Scholar would be dispatched by the Master of the College to round her up for a hot bath and tedious lessons at the start of The Golden Compass, by Philip Pullman.

Spain's new government in need of friends
By Sarah Morris
Spain's conservative prime minister Mariano Rajoy has chosen his closest political allies for a government that will face the lowest level of parliamentary support since Spain returned to democracy four decades ago.
Rajoy announced his cabinet on Thursday evening (3 November) in a written statement after he informed king Felipe VI of the names of the new ministers, leaving journalists waiting at the government palace in Madrid for a potential press conference.

He won a second term on Saturday (29 October) after the rival Socialist Party (PSOE) reluctantly abstained in a parliamentary vote of confidence to break the 10-month political stalemate.
With just 137 of 350-seats in parliament, Rajoy is 39 deputies short of the absolute majority, meaning his Popular Party (PP) will need support from other parties to pass next year's budget and reforms.
Rajoy kept seven members of his previous cabinet, retaining his economic team which oversaw austerity measures, a bank bailout and a labour reform to make hiring and firing cheaper.
During his investiture speech on Saturday, Rajoy said he was prepared to negotiate each law but not "liquidate" reforms that had helped the Spanish economy out of a steep recession.
"Rajoy and his government will need to dialogue during this legislature and he doesn't seem to realise that," said PSOE spokesman Mario Jimenez. "Some of the ministers who've done the most damage are still in it."
Rajoy reappointed economy minister Luis de Guindos, budget minister Cristobal Montoro and labour minister Fatima Bannez as well as deputy prime minister Soraya Saenz de Santamaria.
He brought in the PP's secretary-general, Maria Dolores de Cospedal, as defence minister.
"He should have brought in people with other political ideologies, people with different profiles and outlooks, independents, some younger people, something more innovative," said Beatriz Becerra, a Spanish MEP form the liberal ALDE group.
"Rajoy's new cabinet is a very political one," agreed Antonio Barroso, analyst at political risk consultancy Teneo Intelligence.
The prime minister appointed six new ministers, including Alvaro Nadal, the head of his economic office, as minister for energy, tourism and the digital agenda. Nadal, 46, who speaks German, was Rajoy's right-hand man for negotiations with EU partners over Spain's 2012 bank bailout.
Need for support
Foreign minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, who has ruffled feathers in Britain and Gibraltar by saying the Brexit vote brings Spanish sovereignty of the British enclave closer, was replaced by Alfonso Dastis Quecedo, Spain's EU ambassador since 2011.
Dastis is "a very capable negotiator, he will be the country's voice in the upcoming Brexit discussions," said Barroso.
In the Spanish parliament, Rajoy will need to build bridges with the opposition having governed for four years with an absolute majority in which he nevertheless regularly used decrees.
He has signed a 150-point pact with the small liberal party Ciudadanos (Citizens) to introduce measures like cleaning up politics, such as, an end to closed party lists which makes deputies less accountable to their electorate.
The PP lost its absolute majority in December largely because of allegations that party members took bribes from companies. Former treasurer Luis Barcenas, appointed by Rajoy, is currently on trial.
While the PP can turn to Ciudadanos for support, the party's size means Rajoy will still likely need some Socialist support.
"It's up to the Socialists to decide whether the government lasts four years or whether it's a short one," said Carlos Barrera, lecturer in political communication at the University of Navarra.
The new government's most immediate task is to pass next year's budget which will require about €5.5 billion of spending cuts or tax hikes to reduce the country's 2017 budget deficit to the European Commission target of 3.1 percent.
"If they can't pass the budget, they will have to roll over this year's budget and there will be a substantial risk of another election next year," said Angel Talavera, eurozone economist at Oxford Economics, a consultancy.
Opportunity for reforms
Barrera thinks eventually the Socialists will support the budget and other key laws out of a sense of statesmanship, but Talavera thinks the Socialists may find it difficult to support raising taxes after the "excruciating" process they went through to facilitate the government: their leader Pedro Sanchez was ousted and replaced by an interim caretaker committee, leaving the party deeply divided.
Business leaders urged the new government to build cross-party consensus to introduce long-term reforms to education and training and help to increase the average size of Spain's small and medium-sized companies, following the example of countries like Germany.
It was time to cut duplications in the public administration and tackle the black economy, estimated to be 20 percent, said Javier Vega de Seoane, chairman of the Madrid-based Circle of Businessmen.
"This situation is an opportunity to tackle pending reforms which haven't been tackled by absolute majorities," said Anton Costas, chairman of the Barcelona-based think-tank Economy Circle.

Hoping to dampen opposition from neighboring residents and win the approval of Fort Lauderdale commissioners, the developer of a high-rise boat condo has reduced the height of the proposed building.
The Harborage Club, a one-of-a-kind boat condo with 395 indoor slips, upscale amenities and a custom-built computerized crane to hoist vessels, would have soared 15 stories, or 150 feet, over the Seminole Canal a block north of the 17th Street Causeway along Cordova Road. But neighboring residents, many in the five-story Norwich Condominium across the canal, mounted fierce opposition to the $40 million project, claiming it was incompatible with the low-rise structures around it.
So the developer, Atlantic Marina Holdings of Charleston, S.C., reduced the building to 11 stories, or 110 feet, and 340 indoor slips. The City Commission will review the changes at its regular meeting Tuesday.
"We've essentially eliminated the 150-foot tower altogether," said Leigh Colyer, senior vice president with Atlantic Marina. "The whole objective is: We want to be a good neighbor."
The height reduction also should alleviate concerns from Norwich residents that the building's shadow would darken the condo's pool deck and garden during the winter, Colyer said. The developer said the shadow will only affect the condo about two hours a day over one month a year. "The shadow issue, which was a bone of contention on the part of the Norwich Condominium, is all but eliminated," Colyer said. But the changes may not be enough to satisfy opponents, said Dan McKenna, a boat captain who lives at the Norwich and who, along with other residents, reviewed the new plans earlier this week.
"I don't see much of a serious reduction in size," McKenna said. "It's still too big. It's an 11-story-tall building in a five-story neighborhood."
Tina DeMarco, with the Harbordale Civic Association, said her group will bring its concerns to the commission on Tuesday.

Polypropylene piping system
Aquatherm's Greenpipe polypropylene-random (PP-R) piping system
Aquatherm's Greenpipe polypropylene-random (PP-R) piping system is available in sizes up to 18 in. in diameter and is ideal for water mains and high-rise buildings. The new 18-in. Greenpipe features a standard dimension ratio 11 (SDR 11) wall thickness, which can deliver 4,000 to 6,000 gpm and provides a balance of strength and flow rate. Greenpipe can be directly buried in soil, sand, and other materials. Aquatherm's natural R-value of 1—or more depending on pipe size and SDR—also delivers potential savings in terms of insulation and energy loss.

Meet Sir Richard Branson – entrepeneur and billionaire turned Air Hostess.
Once you've gotten over the shock of the photo above, you'll probably want to figure out why you're eyes saw that. It all relates to a bet between himself and Tony Fernandes. Tony the owner of AirAsia and the Caterham F1 Team and Richard the owner or Virgin airlines and the Formula One team of the same name. Back in 2010 when Branson owned Virgin Racing and Fernandes owned Lotus, the two billionaires made a bet.
The bet was as to whose team would finish higher in the 2010 Championship. Being billionaires, they saw it as pointless to hold a bet over money and so elected that the forfeit be the loser donning an Air Hostess uniform and serving the winner on a flight. At the end of the season, Virgin were 12th and Lotus were 1oth; Branson had lost.
As a result, Sir Branson shaved his legs, donned make up and fish net stockings aswell as the full stewards uniform. He got his own back however, spilling juice on Tony Fernandes mid-flight between Australia and Malaysia.
All over, Branson reflected brightly on his time as the flight crew, later joking, "I always wanted to be an air hostess."

I was thinking about wealth and wealthy people and the odd fact that people who get wealthy from business tend to be reviled, while multi-millionaire entertainers get a free pass to be as obnoxiously rich as they want. The current Live Earth concert is an excellent case in point, where the entertainers get to enjoy a massively lavish experience while promoting the idea that everyone else should tighten up. It's not that they do this, it's that they get away with it. Why?
I wonder if it's not because being a successful entertainer seems more difficult to most people, based on personal experience. Not that many people run businesses, but most people have tried performing in sports or other forms of entertainment and have a better grasp of the difficulty of being good enough to make large sums of money.
An alternative explanation is the connection between the entertains actions and the benefits thereof is much clearer. A Streisand fan knows exactly why he's willing to give money to her, but the average business mogul? That's not so clear.
|Bret Monday, 02 July 2007 at 16:54
I think it's the personal versus the impersonal (your alternative explanation) and the characterization of entertainers and business people in the media. People know why Streisand's rich. They know what she did to make her money (you know, sleep around with a few movie and recording execs, and hey, then your rich).
On the other hand, people have no idea why a particular business mogul is rich. Did he ruthlessly steal people's pensions? Did he bribe congressmen to get unfair advantages? Did he abuse his monopoly position causing thousands of poor to starve? Did he sell weapons and drugs to 3rd world countries? Who knows? But according to the popular media, it's got to be something like that or something else that's at least as horrific.
Nice analysis but it's just not that complicated. People give rich celebrities a pass because they don't think logically or rationally. People idolize celebrity; they want to BE FAMOUS. The average Joe (or Jane) maps an idealized aura onto these people, for reasons I have never understood.
But business people don't have that aura, so all is left is their envy. They are taught early that businesses "steal" their wealth from the people and that profits are bad. Never a thought goes into the fact that their own jobs and livelyhoods stem from this process. That would take rational thought. No, all that's left is "rich people who hoard their undeserved wealth".
A rock star can fly a helicopter to a "save the earth" gig to din of screaming fans and ask those very fans to cough up even more money than the tickets they bought for a cause and be revered. No one even bothering to ask how deep the star himself digs into his own pockets.
Entropy House Rules :)
|Andrea Harris Monday, 02 July 2007 at 20:17
Hm. I think that even Terry's analysis is more complicated than the subject deserves. It's even simpler than that: entertainers represent fun, business moguls represent work. Right now we worship the great god FUN more than anything else in this country. Who likes to work, really? (More people than you think, actually, but even the workaholics respect entertainers and other people who give them FUN stuff more than other workaholics.)
Let's face it, business moguls are no fun. They are usually not very good looking, and many have the personalities of damp rags (see Donald Trump). They don't bother telling you how wonderful you are, thank you so much wonderful people of (insert city or town) for inviting me here let me sing for you. They just want you to work so they can make money. You can make money too, which you will go spend on FUN. And you will hate the person who made it possible for you to make the money you had to spend on FUN, and you will love the person who took the money and gave you nothing except a transitory good time, which put no food in your mouth or clothes on your back (except for a concert t-shirt, which will fade and shrink after three washings).
It might be even simpler than that. From toddler up kids are introduced to "Fun." It's "Fun with Numbers," Fun with Words," Fun with Quadratic Equations," …
Singing, dancing, throwing a ball or playing the kazoo looks like fun, like something anybody can do, while medicine, science, finance, business or running the local waterworks doesn't look like fun. Anyone can't do it. It isn't easy, it's hard, requires specialized knowledge that takes years to learn and many more years to master and the people who do it are mainly serious, not madcap material for magazine covers.
Entertainers and athletes also work very hard perfecting their craft, but to the unwashed who worship them, even that looks like fun.

When is the last time you went to a movie alone? Ate at a restaurant by yourself? Went to a social get together by yourself? Have you ever wondered about why or how things become the social norm, what's okay and what's not?
Recently I spoke to a new acquaintance about the challenge of being alone and newly single . We chatted about trying to make new friends, trying new things. She said she had done several activities that are reasonable fear inducers; zip lining, public speaking to name a couple. The one that surprised her the most, was the fear of walking into a music hall to attend a dance – alone. She told me it was the only one that had her sitting in her car for 15 minutes feeling that knot of fear and questioning whether to turn around and head home.
As teenagers, especially as young women, we were pack animals. We traveled in groups or as duos. Even the bathroom was not a trip to take alone at the bar or the dance club. Safety and security in numbers.
Benefits of flying solo
Our culture is one of pairs, of couples. To be outside of that can be lonesome and yet, there is also a great opportunity to create confidence and independence and even freedom. Go when you want, leave when you want and whatever you make of the event is largely up to you.
Whether you are part of a pair or not, there is a lot to be said to maintaining your personal likes, the ones that are uniquely yours. Life is enriched by experiences and by meeting people who share that enjoyment. What that means for you is a broadening of your life experience and a new energy. If fear is holding you back, think about what you have to gain rather than the discomfort of doing it in a new way.
It's a big world out there and waiting for the safety of others might be holding you back. Go on, do it, I know you can.

Okay, so more than a week ago, I was nominated by the Baffled Baboon for "The Real Neat Blog Award" (and yes, when I read that phrase, I can only hear it in a Beaver Cleaver voice: "Gee, Wally. That's a real neat blog you have there." Did I ever tell you about the time I actually MET June Cleaver? It was pretty epic. But that's a story for another time…)
HOLY DIGRESSION, BATMAN. What the heck was that?
Where was I? Okay… um… "The Real Neat Blog Award". Nominated by The Baffled Baboon. (Which is another "real neat" blog, by the way, so you should go check that out, because it's "real neat" and she talks about monkeys a lot… and she's super funny… which is "real neat", you know?)
ANYhoodles… just as I was getting around to writing about "The Real Neat Blog Award", I was nominated again by Lisa over at Real Mom of Long Island. (Again, another "real neat" blog because she's both really funny and quite insightful and her life as a mom pretty much needs to be made into a TV show… so, it's "real neat".) Which, just solidified the fact that I need to get around to actually writing about it. SO, without further adieu… Here are the rules:
1) Put the award logo on your blog.
2) Answer 7 questions asked by the person who nominated you.
3) Thank the people who nominated you, linking to their blogs.
4) Nominate any number of bloggers you like, linking to their blogs.
5) Let them know you nominated them (by commenting on their blog etc.)
Here are the 7 (Now 14) questions that i need to answer:
First from Baffled Baboon…
1. If you could travel back in time, what event would you want to witness?
Um… er… hmm… Good grief, that's a tricky one. Um… Okay, got it. The end of World War II in 1945. From the parades and celebrations of our troops coming home, to the news reels of Jewish prisoners being released from the concentration camps. How amazing would it have been to witness that sort of victory? Pretty epic. (Not epic like meeting June Cleaver, mind you, but still… pretty epic.)
2. Have you ever been pulled over by a cop?
Hahahahahaha! NO. Dude, I haven't even gotten a parking ticket. Wait. No. No, I HAVE gotten a parking ticket, but it took me nearly 30 years to accomplish that one, so I'm not planning on getting pulled over anytime soon. Unless the cop is hot. Then we'll see.
3. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
SAMMICHES! Also? Sandwiches. Seriously. Is there anything better than a sandwich? Putting all your favorite ingredients in the same place in a handy, easy-to-hold, easy-to-carry contraption like that? It's sheer brilliance. What's not to love?
4. What was the last lie you told?
Seriously? I lie to children on a near-daily basis. It would clearly be impossible to keep track of them all. Although, if I really had to dig, it was probably when I told little Miss 2nd Grade Sassy Pants that her getting two guinea pigs for Easter was pretty much the coolest thing ev-ER. (When everyone knows it was really that one time I met June Cleaver…)
5. If you could be any age for a week, what age would you be?
Twenty-five. That was the age I was when I married the ass-hat, and I obviously want a do-over. Plus, it was a pretty good age all around.
6. What is your worst habit?
I chew gum. A LOT. I think it's become a nervous habit. I apologize if it grosses you out. I'm trying to cut back. I swear.
7. If a baboon were to hypothetically knock on your door and hypothetically ask for some money to hypothetically build a hypothetical time machine, how much hypothetical money would you hypothetically donate?
One MILLION hypothetical dollars. It's not every day a talking baboon comes around asking for hand outs. That's pretty epic. (Again, not meeting June Cleaver epic, but pretty epic.)
AND… from Real Mom of Long Island…
1. What is the best thing you love about where you are from?
The lakes and the trees. You literally (the British pronunciation, not the American one) cannot go a mile without tripping over a lake here. They. Are. Everywhere. And they are pristine and gorgeous. After spending a week out west, I was homesick for all the lakes. I love me a good lake. And the trees? Again. They're EVERYWHERE around here. As far as the eye can see. It's sheer perfection. Plus, it's pretty remote, so if you ever want to get lost, this is the place to do it.
2. Where did your blog name come from?
Where DID my blog name come from? I don't know. I think I based it on how I was feeling after that Harrible, Terrible, No Good, Very Bad thing happened. My emotions were all over the place, and I knew I would have to go Under and Over, Around and Through a lot of things to get to the other side. But now I'm here… so… YAY!
3. What is your dream job?
Helping others. It would literally be doing some type of charity work – helping, serving, raising awareness and funds for causes I hold near and dear to my heart. Helping people in war-torn, developing countries. Getting food, clean water, medical supplies, building shelters and schools for people that need it the most. Promoting educational causes, working with and inspiring kids, and speaking out against injustices. And then? Writing about it, speaking about it, and getting other people to care about it. Also? Doing a lot of traveling in the process. Honestly, nothing makes me feel more fulfilled than when I'm able to help someone else and bring a smile to their face.
4. Favorite book?
TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD?! Hello?! Bloggity peeps… c'mon. We've covered this, have we not?
5. Which single person has inspired you the most in life?
OOH! I know this one! JUNE. CLEAVER. (Okay, not really. But I don't have a better answer at this time…)
6. What do you love most about yourself?
Um… the fact that I once met JUNE CLEAVER?! Okay. Not really. I guess I like that overall, I'm a really happy, fun, optimistic person. And I'm feisty. You can't really get me down too easily, and if you do… I won't stay there.
7. Dream Vacation?
AFRICA. Africa, Africa, Africa. I have wanted to go there since I was a little girl. The people? The animals? The scenery? The customs? *sigh* I think I would instantly fall in love and never want to come back.
Got all that? Good. I now nominate the following:
Whew! Okay. Now for YOUR questions…
- On a scale of 1 to 10, how much do you love June Cleaver?
- Your mom just called. What do you do now?
- Where in the world IS Carmen San Diego?
- Coffee or Tea?
- Are you as cool as I am? If so, why have we not met yet?!
- Feet. Do they gross you out as much as they do me?
- A Prince song comes on the radio. Do you turn the station or turn it up and jam out?
Okay, that's it. That's all I have. Have fun. Be good. Let people with lots of groceries go in front of you in the check out line. Especially if they bear a striking resemblance to June Cleaver. Because… you know.

An Extraordinary Event The famed intersection of Trade and Tryon… Read more »
Wachovia Corporation, now Wells Fargo, sought to reposition its primary corporate public spaces consisting of a vaulted atrium and an urban public plaza. These amenities were constructed by the bank in the mid-1980's. Following a series of design scenarios, a concept was developed to represent the spaces. Primarily, the great indoor atrium was redesigned to meet current programming needs as well as expansion of retail tenants within the space. The project sought to add a visual order and cohesiveness to the atrium without detracting from the clarity of its geometry and original design. This was accomplished by introducing a series of new materials, colors and textures, creating a more unified effect and appearance for this important public pavilion.

This is my den devonianum currently in bloom.
Very very beautiful!
Beautiful- and takes me back to the days before CITES - I was Secretary of a UK Orchid Society, and used to arrange an annual importation of orchids for members, collected from the Indian jungles ( supposedly - I think a lot were mass propagated in nurseries, and passed off as wild orchids ! - certaialy an awful lot were absolutely the same clone ) but I used to get these three or four tea chests arrive - plywood boxes about 2 foot x 2 foot x 2 foot - all stuffed full of orchids . For packing material they often used ferns and other things which I would pot up and use as foliage plants , or plant in the floor of my greenhouse. I well remember D.devonianianum, like long threads of thick string - often they flowered almost as soon as I took them out of the packing cases. Then I had to sort them out according to what had been ordered by whom - and take a car full of bundles to the next meeting, even ask other committee members to come and fill their car boots. Paph insigne was the cheapest about 10 pence ( English money - = 6 or 7 cents US) - but of course all values were very different then . As a highly paid, newly qualified specialist lawyer ( Patent Attorney) I got a whole US$200 per month...( equivalent) - about as much as I have to pay the mechanics at the local Mercedes dealership for one hours work now....but happy days remembered. Thanks for the pic !
Very very cute especially with those two yellow beauty spots.!!!!
oh thats a wonderful species, congrats!!!
Thanks friends for the kind words. I got this plant a year ago from a nursery in a NE state of our country. So far as a rank amateur not much success with the species I have so this must be the easier ones to bloom I guess! Hybrids though seem to be much easier to bloom and grow. Had left my plants under the care of my daily help for two weeks out on our apartment terrace so some of the buds fell off the canes, most are still there.
Wow so many buds there, really pretty.
So jealous! So many buds! Lovely dendrobe..I must say, this really is the season for dendrobes

SOURCE: clogged fridge drain tube
The drain is behind the back panel in the freezer at the bottom. Sounds like it is frozen over which is pretty common. Will need to remove panel and thaw out drain by running hot water down. You can use a putty knife to break up ice first. Make sure you get all ice around the drain above and below the thin aluminum tray at the bottom. After the drain is free don't be alarmed if you get some water on the floor because the drain pan may not hold all of the water you ran down the drain. Not anything you can do to prevent this on this model.

Take a spray bottle with VERY hot water and spray it down the drain line

Testimonial: "Good advice. Wife called repairman before I could apply. Repairman did same thing, but with pressureized."
SOURCE: I have a GE TOP Freezer Model # TBX21JABLRBB
Turn off the fridge. Remove the rear freezer panel inside the freezer. Take a hair dryer and thaw the ice in the drain trough at the rear of the freezer. After it is clear, pour a 1/4 cup of bleach into the drain hole. Adjust the front leveling legs on the fridge to make the fridge tilt slightly to the rear.

SOURCE: Water accumulates inside the refrigerator, Kenmore, Mod. 71194100
You get to it from the freezer. Remove the back wall in the freezer and you will see it there. Unclog it with some wire or check to see if it has ice over it.

I recently leased a new car. It's a new model of the one I traded in. I just decided I no longer wanted to drive a car for 100,000 miles, I want to always have a car in warranty, etc. I got a pretty good deal, money back, my traded car had only 19,000 miles, 3 years old and my lease payment is less than the car payment.
Anyway, it's a hard-top convertible, looks like a transformer opening and closing-a LOT of moving parts=a LOT of potential for things to go wrong. I never had a problem and the car gets excellent reliability ratings.
So, I go to the dealer for my 2 week check and I see my old car in a bay. Apparently, the roof stopped working-2 DAYS AFTER THE WARRANTY RAN OUT!
Makes me look like I had a crystal ball...or very good luck.

Which is the best Xbox 360 game and what makes it best
Since the Xbox 360 was released so much earlier than the competing next-generation consoles, it boasts a much larger library of games. This makes choosing a winner obscenely difficult. The console focuses largely on adult-oriented games with foul language, violence, and situations little Billy just isn't ready for yet. With that in mind, I believe the best game for the Xbox 360 is one that takes a more adult approach to gaming. That's why my pick is Bioshock.
Not only does Bioshock contain creepy atmosphere, violent game play, and a plethora of choices about how you want to proceed, it also alludes renowned fiction and makes you feel for your "enemies." Bioshock presents Little Sisters (who harvest Adam, which is essential to life in Rapture, the sunken dystopian setting for the game) and gives you the choice of murdering them to gain all the Adam you can, or sparing them and taking what they will give as thanks. This is a huge moral dilemma, and it generates different results.
It's also fair to say the game looks outstanding. I know there has been a lot of coverage on the water effects, but it's not the only eye-candy. All the environments and characters are just as well-presented. Technically, the game was built on Epic's Unreal Engine 3, but it was heavily modified to create the breathtaking scenes in Rapture. And the events in Bioshock feel like the could have happened. There is a rich history that unfold as the game develops.
Despite criticism that the ending is too short, or the last boss is too easy, Bioshock provides around 20 hours of compelling game play. Once you get your ending, once you get your final boss battle, you feel like you earned it.

Ohio nursing home shuts doors after meth lab fireOhio nursing home shuts doors, relocates patients after meth lab fire that killed 1, injured 6
ASHTABULA, Ohio (AP) ' A nursing home in northeast Ohio where a methamphetamine lab fire in a resident's room killed a man has apparently closed.
The March 4 fire at Park Haven Home in Ashtabula killed a man who police say was not a resident or employee. Six others were hurt.
The Star-Beacon newspaper in Ashtabula (http://bit.ly/GWkiPr) reports Park Haven closed Friday and had more than 30 residents relocated to other care facilities. A call to the facility rang unanswered Saturday.
The facility had been found to be violating federal regulations. State agencies were in the process of trying to revoke the facility's license and end its Medicaid provider agreement.
Police have said they expect charges against two men who were burned in the fire.

Purpose: The objectives of this study were to validate and compare the light-activated antibacterial function of CDots against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria, to investigate the correlation of CDots' antibacterial function with its quantum yield, and to explore the optimization of CDots' antimicrobial activity by a combination of its properties and treatment conditions.
Methods: A series of specifically prepared Cdots with 2,2'-(ethylenedioxy)bis(ethylamine) as the surface functionalization molecule (EDA-CDots), whose fluorescence quantum yields (ΦF) ranged from 7.5% to 27%, were synthesized. The traditional surface plating method was used to determine the viable cell reduction of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis cells after treatment with these CDots under light illumination to evaluate the light-activated antibacterial function.
Results: Cdots' light-activated antibacterial function toward both E. coli and B. subtilis, under different light conditions, was validated and compared. Gram positive B. subtilis cells were more susceptible to CDots treatment. The results of this first study revealed there was a correlation between CDots' light-activated antibacterial efficiency and their quantum yields. A combination of the selected fluorescence quantum yields (ΦF), dots concentration, and treatment time could achieve ~5 log viable cell reduction.
Significance: This study demonstrated that CDots have a great potential to be a class of low cost, low to no toxicity, highly efficient photo-activated antimicrobial agents against bacterial pathogens.

I went to a fantastic event last night called Pulse Feast that was held at the Design Exchange in Toronto. It was presented because 2016 was formally declared by the Food & Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to be the International Year of Pulses (IYP).
|Chef Michael Smith
It was hosted by PEI Chef, Author, Business owner and Media personality Chef Michael Smith.
It was one of those events that you feel good about going to for so many reasons.
1. Because it was just so much fun.
2. Because it launched a great Pulses Program the Pulse Pledge
3. Because it promoted a healthy product that is good for the world
But then there was also so much great food made with Pulses (beans, lentils, peas) that we sampled all evening. There was so much that I missed trying a few things that I was told were really good but I just didn't have any more room to eat more.
|Quiche, crabcakes, Chorizo and rapini with beans, lentil slider, donut, croquettes
A couple of my favourite dishes were surprises on how good they were and the fact that you couldn't tell what was in them.
1. Sweet Polenta and beans
2. Brownies with Passion fruit glaze
3. Cheddar Biscuits made with yellow peas.
2. Brownies with Passion fruit glaze
3. Cheddar Biscuits made with yellow peas.
I need these recipes. I had 2 pieces of the brownies because they were just too good to resist. Rich chocolate flavour but a perfect balance of richness.
The polenta was sweet and flavourful. The biscuits were flaky but held together and were still moist and again full of great flavour.
All of the food was prepared by Ivana Raca from Raca Cafe. I need to get over there one of these days. Ivana honed her skills working for Chef Mark McEwen and working to set up his first grocery store and countless catering events. It seemed like the food was effortless since it was so good but I am sure a lot of busy bees contributed to making it all so great.
Ok so besides the food we were there for a reason. Chef Michael Smith has been named the IYP Ambassador for Canada. It's kind of a big deal especially for Canada because there are over 22,000 pulse farmers in Canada. It is exported to 150 countries and Canada exports most of the pulses in the World. It contributes over $3 billion to Canada's economy.

— Start your new year with a resolution that's healthy for you and the planet:Take the Pulse Pledge to eat pulses at least once a week for 10 weeks: www.pulsepledge.com (starting January 1) Tweet #pulsepledge
10 Great things about Pulses: Delicious, Nutritious, Sustainable
1. Pulses are a fantastic source of protein and fibre
2. Pulses have a low fat content and contain zero cholesterol. They are also gluten-free.
3. Pulses are rich in minerals (iron, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, zinc) and B-vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, B6, and folate)
4. Pulses have a low carbon footprint and use just one-tenth to half of the water of other proteins.
5. Pulses are affordable, drought tolerant and contribute to food security at all levels
6. Pulses are a versatile, easy to-prepare ingredient that can be used in entrees, salads, breads and desserts.
7. Pulses taste great: They can be prepared savoury or sweet and are like little flavour sponges.
8. Eating Canadian pulses supports our farmers and the economy: Canada is the world's largest producer and exporter of dry peas and lentils and a major supplier of pulses to over 150 countries around the world.
9. Pulses have been shown to reduce "bad" cholesterol and help control blood sugar levels, which help in the fight against heart disease and diabetes.
10. Pulses enrich the soil where they grow reducing the need for chemical fertilizers
Chef Michael Smith has a great recipe for Pulse Tacos if you would like to swap your meat for a healthier Taco that still tastes great. Click here: Pulse Taco recipe
This is a Global Initiative so do something good for the Globe and sign the #PulsePledge and start making some great recipes with food that's is a Good thing for both you and the World.
All you have to do is consume 1/2 cup of any pulse at least once a week for 10 weeks. I have already had hummus today which counts since hummus is made from chickpeas which are a pulse in case you didn't know that. See it's easy but look for new and interesting ways to include more in your diet. I am going to try and for sure I am going to make some Pulse Brownies very soon.

The Old Globe Announces Casting for Quartet
Tony winner Elizabeth Franz has signed on for the San Diego production of Ronald Hardwood's comedy.
San Diego's Old Globe Theatre has announced the cast and creative team for its production of Ronald Harwood's comedy Quartet. The play will run July 25–August 24 in the Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, part of the Globe's Conrad Prebys Theatre Center. Richard Seer (Other Desert Cities) directs.
Quartet follows three former opera singers, Reginald, Cecily, and Wilfred, leading a harmonious existence at a home for retired musicians until Reginald's ex-wife, grande dame Jean Horton, arrives. As long-ago grudges surface and old scores are settled, the quartet heads back into the rehearsal room for one final encore.
The acting company includes Roger Forbes (Wilfred Bond), Robert Foxworth (Reginald Paget), Elizabeth Franz (Jean Horton), and Jill Tanner (Cecily Robson).
The creative team includes Globe Associate Artist Ralph Funicello (scenic design), Charlotte Devaux (costume design), York Kennedy (lighting design), Christopher R. Walker (sound design), Nicolas Reveles (opera consultant), and Annette Yé (stage manager).

Picnics in the parking lot
The sunny weather continued yesterday and so we sent out the call: Hotdogs in the JACC parking lot at noonish! Members of the original Parking Lot Picnic Team, Cathy Thomas (thankfully able to bring her table top grill, since the one I bought wasn't put together yet and proved a challenge for the three capable folks trying to assemble it quickly) and Helena Fagen turned up, Andy Kline and Jeff Brown drove all the way from KTOO to the JACC backyard lot in Andy's hot red Miata convertible, top down of course, Kari and Karen set the table and chairs up, Leonard came, Jeanine and Christina, Madeleine arrived, Albert joined in, Karen's husband Alan and their dog Maple came, Jeff's daughter Callie showed up with her yearbook (last day of school today!) and a friend, Rosemarie came, Coco joined us. For a spontaneous event it was OK! We had Alaska Reindeer sausages, ballpark franks (with sauerkraut!), tofu burgers, chicken dogs, potato salad, chips, more chips, salsa, Dove Bar mini ice creams, rum balls, chocolates, blood orange soda, cookies, mini-donuts, watermelon.
We all felt very Continental sitting under the tree around the table chatting and eating.
Agreed, we need a flag to run up the pole when it's Picnic Day, because these days can't be counted on and they really have to be pretty impromptu. So: Sunny Day? head over to 350 Whittier around noon....the grills are standing by!

The Weather Then and the Weather Now/
It's not often that I can remember the weather on a particular day several years ago. Some specific event needs to be tied to the day in order for this to happen. For example, many folks in these parts can remember the 32 inch snowfall on Halloween 1991. Hands down, the easiest to recall is the big windstorm on the Fourth of July 1999.
But on this day, back in 1988, I can remember that it was snowing. We already had some snow on the ground. It wasn't falling hard, but it was enough to cover the road, and the plow wasn't out yet, early on that Sunday morning. I had been up a large portion of the night, while Greg and little Robert slept upstairs. When I woke Greg up about 5:30, I said, "Greg, it's time to go now." And he said, "Time to go hunting?" I smiled and said, "No, it's time to go to the hospital."
I was in labor with Paul, who has turned 19 today---just about two hours ago, if we want to get technical about it, as Paul's little sister insists.
We got Robert up and into his carseat, and set off for the hospital in Grand Marais. Sometimes people will ask me if we were ever worried about getting to the hospital in time. I tell them that for the first one, we could have gone all the way to Chicago, so I knew that we would have time. I recall that the snowy road really helped me when I was having contractions, almost like a cushion against them. Nearer to town, the road had been plowed and was bumpier, and much less comfortable.
Gramma Sharlene met us in town to watch Robert. We labored through the morning, and Paul arrived shortly after noon. Interestingly, I had made the comment to Greg previously that if the baby were to come on that Sunday, he would be able to watch the Chicago Bears football game from the hospital. Sure enough, he got to watch the second half.
Paul mustn't have been paying too close attention to the game. The Bears Fan gene didn't get to him. Instead, to this day, he remains a loyal fan of the Green Bay Packers.
Today, the skies are overcast, and the wind is blowing from the south. That means that it is warm. When I went to check for the mail, I didn't even need a jacket. It is 48 degrees outside. What a difference. The weather is supposed to change tomorrow, and I hope that means that it cools off and snow comes our way. We won't be skiing for Thanksgiving, but it would be nice to have a little snow on the ground.
Paul is enjoying a day off, where he doesn't have to do any work if he chooses not to. Considering that during the seasons when we are open, and he can be asked to work up to sixteen-hour days, I'd say he deserves a bit of time off. Happy Birthday, Paul!
