Coming to theatres this Friday is Oliver Stone's biopic about the not-so-late, nor great President George W. Bush. Titled simply "W", Stone takes a stab at the unfinished legacy of our current prez but unfortunately, it's in the can before things started to get really interesting; I'm just saying our current crisis, and intense election season is rife with material…!
Check out the trailer for the film here!

Essie 'Olé Caliente'
Ho recentemente riscoperto uno smalto che mi ha letteralmente stregato l'estate scorsa, e si tratta di Olé Caliente di Essie, appartenuto alla collezione Navigate Her. Olé Caliente è uno splendido rosso pomodoro o corallo, la cui formula è coprentissima e perfetta da gestire. Sulle unghie è un vero spettacolo: è un colore che di sicuro non passa inosservato! In foto lo vedete più sparaflashato di quanto non sia in realtà, ma effetto-neon a parte, la tonalità è quella :) Insomma, Olé Caliente è un inno all'estate, e abbinato ad un rossetto della stessa tonalità, garantirà per un effetto va-va-voom da far girare la testa! I've recently re-discovered a nail polish…
Getting ready for Christmas #2: Glitter overload!
For day 2 of my Getting ready for Christmas challenge, I decided to go all out and make a mish mash manicure featuring a couple of glitter polishes :) The manicure itself doesn't look really Christmas-y, I know, but to compensate that, I arranged a Christmas-looking background XD Anyway, glitters are always festive, no matter how you style them, right? :P So, the nail polishes I used are the following: NYC 'Pink princess', Essie 'Luxedo', Pupa '800', H&M 'Flamingo pink' and Essence 'Make it golden'. And now….it's your turn! Show me you glittah!!!! _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Per il secondo giorno della challenge ho deciso di creare una manicure un po' particolare, mixando…
Essie 'Bahama mama' & Deborah Lippmann 'Razzle dazzle'
I went back to shorties, and to celebrate I chose to wear two of my all-time favourite nail polishes: Essie 'Bahama mama' and Deborah Lippmann 'Razzle dazzle' :) Don't they look mesmerizing together?? 'Bahama mama' is just the perfect base for this glitter, and I feel so glamorous with this combo on my nails ;) Btw, let me know what you think of the new layout and the 'new' nail shape as well, of course! Have an amazing weekend my dears!
Oldie but goodie: Essie "Mint candy apple"
Probably one of the most famous and loved polishes out there, "Mint candy apple" is an evergreen, it will never go out of fashion. It's no secret that I'm a mint-lover, and I felt that today was the perfect day to wear this gorgeous shade again :) And I decided to pair it with a very pretty Kiko nail polish, just to spice the whole manicure up a bit! Hope you like it ;) "Mint candy apple" è con tutta probabilità uno degli smalti più famosi e amati dalla blogosfera, e penso sia uno di quei colori che non passerà mai di moda. Non è un segreto il mio amore…
Christmas mani: Essie "Luxedo" & China Glaze "Blonde Bombshell"
Hello there and Merry Christmas!! :D I really hope you're all doing well and that you're enjoying the holidays :) I surely am (even if I should study a bit more in these days…..>.
Essie "Bahama mama"
Well, apparently the world didn't end today (*happy me*), and that means that I actually have to study for my exams and go out and get a few Christmas presents ç__ç Anyway, a good way to celebrate this not-end-of-the-world is to show you a nail polish that got very easily into my top favourites-list of all times: Essie "Bahama mama". I bought it during my trip to Germany a couple of months ago and I already feel that I need a back-up! It's just the most perfect berry-red shade you'll ever see, I can't get over how much I love it
Essie "Luxedo" + essence "The huntsman"
Good morning! Today I show you one of the polishes I bought during my trip to Germany: Essie "Luxedo", which is a gorgeous very dark plummy colour, that looks almost black irl. This was of course the perfect canvas for some glitters, so I picked my beloved essence topper called "The huntsman", a very beautiful mix of different sized gold glitters plus some big chunks. I absolutely adore this combo, it looks kind of glamourous but vampy at the same time :D Buondì! Oggi vi mostro finalmente uno dei miei primi acquisti fatti durante il mio viaggio in Germania, ossia Essie "Luxedo", un bellissimo color viola scuro, che appare quasi…
Essie spring collection + Beautybay review
Here I am again with some pretties to show you :) I received the Essie mini spring collection I ordered on Beautybay.com a couple of days ago, and I couldn't be happier with the colours! I first want to spend a few words on this online shop: it's an english one, so I don't have to worry about customs or anything; they have free worldwide delivery, and that's definetly a big plus; their prices are higher than the american ones, but that's obvious; they have the mini-sized bottle collections, which I prefer over the single big ones (except for O.P.I., I will never pay more than 16€ for four 3.5ml bottles!). They…

On the campaign trail, Warren had told the story that she was fired in the early 70s from a teaching job in New Jersey for being "visibly pregnant".
She said at a townhall, "by the end of the first year, I was visibly pregnant, and the principal did what principals did in those days: wish me luck and hire someone else for the job."
The Washington Free Beacon dug up county records to find that she was actually offered another year and instead choose to resign
The Riverdale Board of Education, where she alleges she was fired after her first year, granted Warren a second-year teaching contract by a unanimous vote, according to records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Minutes from a June 16, 1971, meeting, several months after the first meeting, show that Warren resigned from her position. The resignation was "accepted with regret."
Old video surfaced last week in which Warren gave a separate reason for leaving teaching.In that video she said "and my first year post-graduation, I worked — it was in a public school system, but I worked with the children with disabilities. And I did that for a year, and then that summer, I actually didn't have the education courses, so I was on an 'emergency certificate,' it was called, and I went back to graduate school and took a couple of courses in education and said, 'I don't think this is going to work out for me.'And I was pregnant with my first baby, so I had a baby and stayed home for a couple of years, and I was really casting about, thinking, 'What am I going to do?'"
Nothing new, she also lied about her Cherokee background and continues to lie to this day.
She's never explained why she listed herself as "American Indian" on her 1986 Texas bar registration.

SINGAPORE - Singapore can build on the demand in the region to become one of Asia's top culinary capitals, said Deputy Prime Minister Tharman Shanmugaratnam on Friday.
The food manufacturing sector has been growing well in the past five years, experiencing an 11 per cent average growth in sales.
But becoming a "distinctive destination" will require the industry to upgrade and tackle a range of challenges, added DPM Tharman, who was speaking at the opening of BreadTalk Group's $67 million international headquarters in Tai Seng Street.
"(This) will mean going for quality in both traditional and innovative dishes and cuisines; and going for better manpower quality, better pay and better ways of managing and empowering employees," he said.
Already, restaurateurs and food manufacturers face a challenging domestic environment, with a tight labour market, rising costs and more competition.
The industry should therefore focus on quality growth, not just volume growth, he noted. This will require many improvements, both "continuous, incremental improvements" and "disruptive innovations", which displace existing products or create new market segments and customer demands.
Mr Tharman cited the Nespresso gourmet coffee capsule and local online supermarket Redmart as examples of such innovations. BreadTalk has also been innovative in its use of research and development to create "designer breads" that can fetch a higher price premium.
"These major innovations are necessary even in a so-called 'old-economy' industry like food," he said.
As part of an effort to improve innovation, the Government will encourage collaboration between large companies and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
One such project in the food sector is a training programme for SMEs, designed by Unilever Food Solutions and the Restaurant Association of Singapore, which was announced at yesterday's event.
Restaurateurs will be trained in areas such as menu planning.
The Government will also explore how infrastructure can foster collaboration, said Mr Tharman. BreadTalk's headquarters is at Paya Lebar iPark whose design emphasises connectivity, which helps to foster more interaction.
JTC Corporation is now looking at developing a multi-user food hub to provide companies with shared facilities such as an integrated cold room.
Growing a thriving food sector needs manpower development, and some firms - including BreadTalk - have taken steps to invest in people, noted Mr Tharman.
The firm said on Friday that it is working with Institutes of Technical Education to offer training and internships to students.
"To meet the group's aggressive expansion plans, as well as effectively tackle the challenges of an industry-wide manpower crunch, we need to look at various ways to build a steady pool of skilled, highly motivated talent," said BreadTalk founder and chairman George Quek.

I was helping my friend translating a questionnaire set of various disorders (including drug and alcohol abuse as well as bullying and psychotic). As I was translating the set, I had subconsciously been answering the questions as I go. Of course, none of it fit the brat's profile, until, the brat reached this one. I answered "Yes" to most of the questions or symptoms, and according to the manual inserted along with it, apparently the Brat is suffering from "Combined Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder" - and I don't even know about it until now.
ADHD is one of the most common childhood disorders and can continue through adolescence and adulthood. Symptoms include difficulty staying focused and paying attention, difficulty controlling behavior, and hyperactivity (over-activity). A person with ADHD act without thinking, are hyperactive, and have trouble focusing. They may understand what's expected of them but have trouble following through because they can't sit still, pay attention, or attend to details.
Now, I'm gonna share with u the questions that I had answered.
Before that, a word of WARNING, please read until the end of the post, so that you won't be running to your doctor or parents because you thought you have ADHD. The Brat is not and will not be responsible for any mis-diagnose on your part.
Have you often not paid enough attention to details?
Well, actually most of the time.
Made careless mistakes in school?
Like counting 2x3 as 5? all the time...
Have you often had trouble keeping your attention focused when playing or doing schoolwork?
oh yes, definitely. I'll study for 5 and play for 30.
Have you often been told that you do not listen when others talk directly to you?
All the time
Have you often had trouble following through with what you were told to do (Like not following through on schoolwork or chores)?
Definitely (especially chores) my mom had a kick in lecturing me everytime
Did this happen even though you understood what you were supposed to do?
Did this happen even though you weren't trying to be difficult?
Yes and sometimes No. Hey, I'm a brat, I am EXPECTED to be difficult.
Have you often had a hard time getting organized?
Just take a look at my room and you'll stop asking that question. YES
Have you often tried to avoid things that make you concentrate or think hard (like schoolwork)?
Ugh~ Thinking make my head hurts
Do you hate or dislike things that make you concentrate or think hard?
Didn't I just said my head hurts?
Have you often lost or forgotten things you needed?
All the time
Like homework assignments, pencils, or toys?
Yes, yes, yes, and many more. Who knows where I put my car keys, or my guitar pick, or my umbrella....
Do you often get distracted easily by little things (Like sounds or things outside the room)?
Actually it's the other way round. so NO.
Do you often forget to do things you need to do every day (Like forget to comb your hair or brush your teeth)?
I forgot to feed my cat, I forgot to take my diet pills, does that count?
In the past six months:
Did you often fidget with your hands or feet?
No. But They are always moving (I'm always doing something)
Or did you squirm in your seat?
Not that I noticed.
Did you often get out of your seat in class when you were not supposed to?
Yes, to the point my teacher calls my father in because "I move around too much in class" (this was when I was in primary school)
Have you often run around or climbed on things when you weren't supposed to?
And thus my a bit distorted ankle. I climb and I jump and my mom always say I when I was a baby I never stopped running once I learned how to walk.
Did you run around or climb on things even though you didn't mean to?
Nope. I climb because I want to
Have you often had a hard time playing quietly?
What is playing quietly? You've got to make some noise, then it's called playing..
Were you always "on the go"?
Oh Yes.
Have you often talked too much?
Have you often blurted out answers before the person or teacher has finished the question?
Have you often had trouble waiting your turn?
Can you wait patiently in a traffic jam? Then you must be a saint.
Have you often interrupted other people, Like butting in when other people are talking or busy or when they are on the phone?
Yes. What I want to say is important. So ppl should listen :p
SUMMARY: ARE 6 OR MORE ANSWERS CODED YES? - Yes
- If yes, COMBINED Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- If yes, INATTENTIVE Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
- If yes, HYPERACTIVE/IMPULSIVE Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
But of course, that is only true IF these symptoms had shown themselves BEFORE I was 7 and if it had in any way affected me in classroom, playground, home, community and social life.
Truth is, I am TOO OLD to be diagnosed as ADHD. And, even if I'm not, I don't remember it affected me in any of the above areas. TOO BAD. If not, I could attribute my little-than-less-successful life to it. Plus I could always get out of doing assignments because of it! LOLS.
NAh- I'm glad I am nOrmal (well, as normal as I can be).
Just so I have the facts right, There are also ADHD among adults (which is quite a different story than mine). But if I explain it here, it would take too long. So you can just check it out from this website.
Note this. I am not posting this up to make fun or ridicule those who have ADHD. If anything, I scorn those who make fun of people who just can't help themselves being the way they are. We need to care for these people and help them in any way we could. Children who have ADHD may need extra attention and work, but instead of getting angry and impatient we should be supporting them and help them to learn and cope with their situation.
These are not only hard on the child, but also the their parents. What kind of a human being we would be if we disregard those who need help because we find it a bit more hassle? Oh yes, you've guessed it a SELFISH person. And what does it says for us as a person that forces more burden on such frail shoulders? I would say, INHUMAN.
I believe, in each of us, we have a bit of this ADHD symptoms. In the end it depends on us how we wish to cope with it. Would we surrender? Or would we fight?
Just the Brat sharing her Thoughts,
"The brat's blog is the equivalence of rampaging in a field full of white daisies whilst riding a velociraptor, straddling a bazooka on my shoulder and causing mayhem amongst the fairy populace whilst shouting curse words at my old high school magazine! oh, and magic sky juice!" - Ernest, dontlikethatbro.blogspot.com

There is a vast research literature on the topic of motivation to learn, and one finding screams out loud and clear: controlling environments have been shown consistently to reduce people's interest in whatever they are doing, even when they are doing things that would be highly motivating in other contexts.

Relinquishing tight control
12 comments:
I hadn't read "Death to the Syllabus" until now, and am glad I did - it's very interesting, although I have many reservations about the author's proposed solutions.ReplyDelete
Your rubrics sound very similar to mine; the idea of counting errors fills me with horror. It sound to me, though, that Singham goes much further in his rejection of the syllabus. Do you negotiate class rules, evaluation, etc. with the students? I don't, although I am open to discussion if students think rules are unreasonable.
I feel Singham's ideas require a level of trust and confidence in students' maturity that I don't have. Perhaps this is a problem I need to address in myself.
I generally don't negotiate class rules and evaluation with students, but not because I'm opposed to it. I'm steeped enough in educational theory to think it's a pretty good idea.ReplyDelete
I have wanted to negotiate evaluation with students, but haven't been able to guide a discussion that resulted in concrete standards for evaluation. This may be due to the ages of the students, but more likely it is due to my inexperience - I gave up the practice after a few tries, early in my teaching career. It's worth thinking about trying again.
I am thinking hard about negotiating class rules this year. The problem is that nearly every teacher starts the year that way and by the time the students get to me, they're weary of the exercise. So I usually try to have some engaging content-related activity the first day rather than the tedious syllabus-and-rules-review lesson.
There's enough here for another post, so I'm going to move the rest.
Fascinating post, thanks! Are you on Twitter? Would love to follow you ;-).ReplyDelete
Death to the Syllabus is an amazing article and has 'done the rounds' and caused a lot of comment (just what's needed!).ReplyDelete
In my experience, students can be 'controlled' and treated like cattle in a very successful way (if by success we mean pass exams), but they resent the process and look at the system in an 'us and them' world view.
When I have focussed more on what the students are asking & have sought their viewpoint, I have not had less control, in fact I have found even troublesome students trying to engage more as they see me giving them respect.
Linked to this is this YouTube clip:
If we focus on grades & passing exams, we miss the point...

"Documentaries are more popular than ever and there is a huge appetite for them worldwide. The rise of streaming platforms like Amazon and Netflix, and the growth of theatrical releases for documentaries, show that there is a hunger for real-life, compelling and beautifully told stories. By showing people here the very best work from around the world we can light a spark and inspire the next generation of documentarians.
"We are looking forward to hosting 30 national and international guests, all of whom are key decision makers in the documentary world."

The opening presentation of the 2019 HEFMA Leadership Forum was a fascinating exploration of the brain, aimed at understanding the different mindsets that people go through when experiencing change.
Mark Bawden got everyone thinking from the outset with a puzzle to connect five seemingly unrelated images followed by a visual demonstration of how individuals can see the same thing very differently. There is no right or wrong - it's a different perception.
He went on to explain how the emotional brain is a combination of different systems with four characteristics summed up as COPE - contained, optimistic, prudent, engaged - which are sensitive to reward or threat in various degrees and respond accordingly. In everyone the balance of these characteristics is different, but recognising which are the strongest influencers in an individual determines their natural mindset.
In any project or task, a balance of each is needed, especially when leading change. Recognising the validity and strength of all four mindsets and having the ability and flexibility to shift your own mindset to achieve results are vital.
Mark has worked with many elite sports teams, including Team GB at the London Olympics.
Other sessions throughout the day focused on issues surrounding the workforce, including recruiting and retaining staff, apprenticeships, culture change and the importance of the estate in its broadest terms.

KUWAIT CITY, Dec 12: MP Riyadh Al-Adsani has warned the new government against appointment of officials based on favoritism, claiming HH the Prime Minister Sheikh Jaber Al-Mubarak Al-Hamad Al-Sabah played a minor role in the selection of Cabinet members as this task was carried out by the Parliament Speaker and defense minister.
He wondered why the prime minister chose a defense minister who should have been given the economic and development affairs portfolio considering the latter's interest in the economy, development and Silk City.
He expressed reservation over certain Cabinet appointments like Sheikh Nasser Al- Sabah as Minister of Defense, the state minister for National Assembly Affairs, and designation of one person to handle two ministries – Public Works and Municipality Affairs.
On the other hand, Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee MP Hamad Al-Harshani congratulated the new government for gaining the trust of His Highness the Amir Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah, wishing them success in performing their duties. He said the new government was formed amid challenges and dangers surrounding the country; hence, the need for the ministers to be responsible and to cooperate with the Assembly in the ratification of important laws.
Meanwhile, several lawmakers met Tuesday in the office of MP Mohammed Al-Mutair to continue their discussion on those imprisoned for storming the legislative building. Present at the meeting were MPs Mohammed Hayef, Thamer Al-Suwait, Omar Tabtabaei, Al-Humaidi Al-Subaie, Abdul Wahab Al-Babtain, Osama Al-Shaheen, Adel Al-Damkhi, Abdullah Fahad, Khalid Al-Otaibi, Nayef Al-Mirdas, Abdul Karim al- Kandari and Mohammed Al-Dalal.
Al-Damkhi explained the meeting is the continuation of their expression of solidarity with the legislative building storming convicts. He disclosed the legal team handling the case presented updates during the meeting. He added they decided to send a message to the Assembly Speaker on the need for the legislature to announce its stand on the case, indicating another meeting will be held on Monday at the office of MP Jamaan Al-Harbash to tackle pending issues and formation of the new government.
Moreover, Information Minister Mohammed Al-Jabri said he will spare no effort in serving the country, its leadership and people. He pointed out that it is always beneficial to begin with improving local media, taking into consideration the rapid technological development in this sector. He also unveiled his plan to present a vision on local media development to compete with its counterparts in the regional and international arenas.
Minister of Social Affairs and Labor and State Minister for Economic Affairs Hind Al-Sabeeh thanked His Highness the Amir, His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Prime Minister for her reappointment. She said she will continue aiming for development to better serve the public, citing her keenness to complete automation projects to ensure easy and speedy processing of transactions.

NIGELLA LAWSON has revealed her recipe for looking young – doughnuts and deep-fried bars of chocolate.
The curvy TV chef, 52, said: "I'm a great believer in fat. My view is that you moisturise from the inside.
"I like any doughnut that's going. I like anything in batter or that is deep fried. I have not only had a deep-fried Mars bar, I have also done a recipe for deep-fried Bounty. Very delicious, typically tropical."
Nigella also revealed she loves nothing better than a midnight snack of bread.
She said: "Although it is shameful to say it, it is something I don't have to cook – a really good baguette and some fantastic blue cheese, probably gorgonzola that can walk on its own.
"That and a glass of red wine so thick it could almost be soup. I will take any form of bread. I was in France yesterday and I had four bread rolls.
"Bread is what the French do better than anyone, so that's fine. That's how I justify it to myself. It would be wrong not to have it."
Nigella is convinced that eating "real food" rather than ready meals is vital.
She added: "Your skin and your body and your mind are happier if you have food which is real and not processed bits of cardboard."
"There is always room for a bit of junk food from time to time but you really need proper food to feel properly alive."

TORONTO, ONTARIO – 10-25-2018 (PRDistribution.com) — Simran Jolly, a grade 10 student from Toronto, Ontario started an environmental initiative, called The B Team, to save solitary bees. She is doing this by raising awareness about the issue. She is also working with the government to place bee boxes in parks around Canada. Since solitary bees lay eggs underground, fertilizers and urbanization are causing their extinction. The bee boxes that Simran is placing in parks will give these bees a shelter to lay their eggs and reproduce. Solitary bees are not aggressive and do not sting, therefore the public can feel safe around them. Simran believes it is important to save this species because they play a crucial role in the ecosystem and global food security. Email her [email protected] if you have any questions or are interested in funding or helping her.

Buy Nothing Day
Tomorrow is Buy Nothing Day (aka Black Friday Consumerism Disaster) in US and Canada, whick for me and international ClosetReaders, is on Saturday the 24th.
So here is my appeal to you. Buy Nothing! Think about the impact your consumption has on the worlds resources. Think before you buy useless shit no one wants anyway.
But most importantly, go out and have fun. Do stuff that doesn't involve spending money to feed the capitalist establishment. You'll be much happier, really.
And now, to the 'pull the ember to my sardine' part of this post, here is what what's going down here in Wageningen, NL. I have joined the local hippy crowd in organizing Buy Nothing Day activities. We are setting up a living room in the main market square, with live music, free tea (maybe even coffee if we're lucky), free hugs, free shop, traditional games, board games, newspapers, massages (maybe), professional portraits, and workshops.
The goal is to try to lure passersby away from consumerism with happy activities that don't involve consuming, the key word in this being 'happy', seeing that HappyJMA Wageningen is organizing.
You can also revisit this post, where I shared with you guys a video about Wageningen Buy Nothing Day in 2006.
So today, my message to you is: Be happy. And buy nothing!
Ps: I also wrote a post about BND for Celsias. Check it out for the hilarious adbusters tv spots.
The hand that rocks the Cradle to Cradle
Welcome back ClosetReaders, and please excuse me for the punny title… it was just too much to resist. I know its been a long time, but once again I will throw myself at your feet and beg for your indulgence. Oh Gods of Blogdom, please accept this post as my humble offering to thee.
So anyway. Exactly 2 weeks ago I went to the Cradle to Cradle conference in Maastricht making use of my press privileges (true story). Believe it or not, I have press privileges, which basically means I get to go for free and have the undisputed right to harass anyone (which I did). Haha, suckas!
You can read my official version of the events at Celsias (which also came out today, in case you think I'm, like, holding out on you or something). So if you read that, you will know that Michael Braungart was presenting. I got to harass him too, with my annoying little "practical" questions and poorly thought through opinions. He's a good sport though, fun to harass.
As this here is the unofficial version of the events, I might as well tell you that greenwash is everywhere and this was no exception (You know who you are, Mr. Greenport Shanghai).
In other news, it was at this conference that I ate my first piece of meat in over one month. It was organic chicken, if you are wondering. It was tasty. *sigh*
And now, to conclude is style, I'll share with you the wonderful things I learned at this conference:
- Mattel is the evil.
- If possible, industrial composting is preferable to home composting.
- And composting paper tissues and napkins and what not is probably a bad idea because of chlorine and dioxins.
- You can take the girl out of engineering school but you can't take the engineer out of the girl. Metaphors are lost on this one.
- The only reason people go to conferences is to pull the ember to their sardine (don't you just love Portuguese expressions?)
- Law of networking: the amount of asses you need to kiss is inversely proportional to your position in the food chain. (as you can imagine student bloggers rank pretty low there)
- Inversely, your position in the food chain is directly proportional to the amount of people standing in line to kiss your ass (Braungart=long line)
- If you don't have business cards because you're a (broke) small fish, at least pretend like its on purpose. Write your name on a pretty piece of cardboard and say that's for environmental reasons. Not that I know anyone who would do this *whistles and looks around*
- If you want to see a conference for free you should walk in and announce you are covering the event for the *insert name of the conference here* blog. And act like you belong.
Just one last thing. As we all know, when it rains it pours, and today you can read not one, not two but three! posts written by yours truly:
- this one (duh)
- official Cradle to Cradle coverage: Let's Cradle!
- Friday Linkfest – this is a good one
Wal-Mart, Tesco roasted on Celsias
Just to let you know I have a new post on Celsias (a nice one, that even has those things, whatcha cal'em, opinions, yeah, and facts too, facts are cool.).
So if you are in the mood for a barbecue, head on over there and watch me roast some Mega-Corps.
And feel free to show your support with some diggs or reddits or stumbles and what have you 😉
World's Largest Companies Exert Pressure on Supply Chains
Why you should dry clothes inside out
Ok, so this is not exactly Part II of 'Green Clothes'. Rather, consider it as an example and a cautionary tale.
What happens to a T-shirt when you leave it "drying" in the sun for 2 weeks? (and it falls and sits there all crumpled and no one bothers to pick it up)
Thats what happens. So dry inside out. Not too long. And don't be a dumbass.
And yes, part II is coming soon.
Blogroll update
I decided to clean up my blogroll. I'm removing some older links to make space for new ones. I apologize to those people who's links I am removing. I want to add some new things and I don't want my blogroll to grow unreasonably long, so I decided to remove the blogs that haven't been active in a long time or that have strayed from the environmental theme. Sorry. (Activist Mommy, if you're out there, I'll add you back when your blog gets back online. Let me know.)
Check out the new additions:
Apt – Furnishing her apartment in an aptly eco fashion.
Conserve Plastic Bags – plastic bag awareness.
Ockham's Razor – Clare says she is the lazyst environmentalyst.
Organic Picks – green products and reviews, organic but not only.
Tiny Choices – because we make them every day.
Green LA Girl – long overdue.
Oh, and thanks to Michelle from Conserve Plastic Bags for tagging me with the 8 random things (or was it facts?) meme. Since I already did 7 of them, I'll just add one more:
*drum roll please*
8. I used to be kind of metal chick. My favorite band used to be these guys. Army boots, skirts, all black, the whole shebang. Fortunately, I outgrew this phase, but in a way it still shows because my color palette still goes from pink to black including various shades of purple and red.
*crowd freezes in shock*
So anyway, I'm tagging all of the above mentioned blogs. Except Michelle because she already did it. I hope you guys read this blog because I feel too lazy to go leave comments about this.
Why I'm NOT doing Blog Action Day
Ok, dearest readers. You might find it strange that talk about Blog Action Day has been going around for some time now, and I haven't been promoting it, or even mentioning it. That's because I'm not doing Blog Action Day.
Blog Action Day is supposed to go something like this:
- Write something about the environment.
- Donate the day's blog revenue.
That's great. Except:
- This is an Environmental Blog. ALL my posts are about the frikin' Environment. On this blog, Blog Action Day is everyday!
- I don't have any revenue.
And more:
- I've always had trouble doing something just because everyone is doing it. This is why I hate those songs you hear in clubs that dictate the choreography, "put your hands up" and so on.
- I fail to see what, exactly, is Blog Action Day trying to achieve. Is this supposed to be like Bloggy Live Earth or something? So everyone writes about the environment for one day. "Imagine what could happen". I'll tell you what will happen. Nothing. Just like after Live Earth.
So please excuse me if I sit this one out.
Overdue post about that trip to Portugal
Back when my camera still worked.
Well, seems like that sign I put up on my last post was more than accurate… I didn't mean to. I really did mean to write about my adventures that very day but then I never got around to do it.
In the meantime, I packed up all my shit and moved, my boyfriend left and now I'm more or less settled in my new place. This time I will not get sidetracked. I will tell you all about my moving and my new place on one of my next posts.
Anyways, I'm gonna spare you all of the "ahhh we went here" and "ooh we went there" and all that "it was so nice" crap and cheesy pictures of us in front of this and that and get right down to the environmental stuff. So lets get on with it shall we, in a neatly organized fashion.
It rocked:
The metro network.It is only a few years old, but its really really good. Most of the times, it is more convenient than driving because its faster and parking is a pain. My boyfriend arrived a couple of days after me and I decided to try the metro service to pick him up. I was pretty impressed, it was really fast, VERY close to the terminal and no parking (which, at airports, is quite a rip off). The bus network is very good as well, but its not as easy to figure out, and the schedules are less predictable.
The recycling. Recycling is slowly making its way into mainstream culture. Now you have recycling bins in most public places like the airport and metro stations, and it looks like people actually use them. The recycling infrastructure is quite good. I missed the composting bin that I was used to here in Holland, but I think they are working on that too, they already started collection biodegradable waste from large producers. My mom is a very thorough recycler. I got her into it when I was still a pre-teen. I am very proud of her in this matter.
The market. Whereas most of supermarket food in Portugal is imported, the food at the market, where I demonstratively bought vegetables, was very local, most likely organic and dirt cheap. Now I just need to convince ClosetMom to shop there more often.
ClosetFriends. I was very impressed that ClosetFriends have the habit of picking up old batteries, if they see them laying around in the street and depositing them in the appropriate recycling bin. Bravo, ClosetFriends. Something I can learn from you. (insert suggestion for Vanessa here)
It sucked:
ClosetMom refuses to use the metro. Her work involves a lot of driving around the city, including during rush hour. She could totally use the metro at least for some trips, if it wasn't so much trouble to figure out where the stops are *roll eyes*.
Smog. ClosetMom picked me up from the airport (see above). The first thing I noticed on the drive home, was how smoggy Porto looked. I didn't remember it being like that last year. The horizon looked yellow, and I'm not exaggerating. Coincidence or not, I got a sore throat about a week later, that quickly developed into a cold. Yes, it could have been just a cold, but I think it was pollution related cold.
Plastic Bags. Man, this country has a plastic bag problem! Even if you buy just one tiny little thing, they stuff it in a bag before you have time to open your mouth. I have to say, unlike in the Netherlands, getting away without a useless bag took considerably more effort. But at some point, I got very good at announcing "No bag, please" as soon as I hand them my purchase.
The receipt holder fad. Now this was annoying. Since last time I was in Portugal, apparel shops developed this new fad. Now instead of just handing you your receipt, now they put it in a nice little cardboard receipt-holder thingy. WTF?? This time, I didn't manage to develop a defense against this one because I was too perplexed to react, but next time I'll be prepared. Bastards…
My camera may or may not be broken. It died on me in the middle a shot. I still have hope that it could have been the batteries (even though there was no indication that they were getting low), so now I am dreading the moment of truth, when I change the batteries and realize that I have to do something about the matter. In the mean time, I have no camera, and have already recurred to borrowing from strangers once. (Before, I was using ClosetBoyfriend's digital to take all those fabulous pictures of my groceries). Now I'm thinking of buying a crappy second hand one to tie things over.
Greatest Accomplishments:
Refusing mom's well meaning ride offers and getting around quite easily by metro, bus (1x) and walking. Managed to keep use of car to a minimum. Used the metro to go to the beach (thanks, global warming), the airport and city center bunch of times. In almost 2 weeks, used the car 5 times, including 2 trips to the airport and one ride from friends.
Addressed ClosetMom's bottled water habit. She claims tap water is bad for the kidneys (bullshit) and it tastes bad (tasted just fine to me). Explained how bottled water has less quality and how plastic gives you cancer. Refused to drink bottled water thus proving there is nothing wrong with tap water. Before she used a plastic cup to drink from the water cooler in the office. Now keeps a cup there and explains to co-workers how plastic gives you cancer. They don't believe her, saying "they wouldn't deliberately give us all cancer". So naive…
Got 2 ClosetFriends more interested in vegetarian food, and even got them to try some meatless cooking by themselves. Score. ClosetMom is more resistant to the idea, but I'll get to her too… eventually.
Resolution of the washing machine ordeal.This one requires a little more background explanation. When I got to Portugal, I was informed that our washing machine was broken and that a new washing machine was scheduled to be delivered the next day. I, of course, was shocked that ClosetMom, despite being broke, ordered a +-500E washing machine, without even trying to fix the old one (age 7, and a very good brand, so technically, its still middle aged in washing machine years). I explained how the washing machine must be a cheap fix, and that ClosetMom was too quick to cough up 500 euros she didn't have. However, it was already too late. However, it just so happened that ClosetMom was buying the display model and that the delivery guys were dumbasses. Because it was the display model and they were too lazy to pack it up, they were delivering it without any packaging, and then tried to fit it through the building door. Sure enough, when my mom saw her brand new washing machine all banged up around the sides, she knows nothing more than to say "well then, you can take your ~@?$^%*# washing machine and stuff it (…)". And so, I had ClosetMom call the official repair service and for 50 bucks the thing was good as new. If that ain't Karma, I don't know what is. Now, whether this was a good or bad outcome in terms of greenness I don't know. I really don't know what they will do with that banged up washing machine. Maybe they'll fix it. Maybe they'll sell it. Maybe they'll just recycle it. All I know is that ClosetMom wasn't having a banged up washing machine. And I don't think I would either.
For next time:
Get ClosetMom and ClosetFriends to Bring Their Own Bags when they go shopping. This time I didn't have time to go shopping with ClosetMom, so the plastic bags issue didn't "come up". I'll get them all next time. MauAUauahahAAHahAHA!!
Get everyone DivaCups for their B'days. I already started psychologically preparing ClosetMom, showing her my Diva, telling her how great it is… I think I'll get her one for Xmas now. MauAUauahahAAHahAHA!!
Lessons Learned:
- You must know your enemy and be prepared to strike back. It's the surprise attacks that screw us over.
- When trying to get someone to change their ways, people always respond better when you put things in terms of "What's in it for me", like "save money" or "NOT get cancer". I found that "its better for the environment" crap gets you nowhere, so I don't even go there.
- It's not that people are trying to harm the environment, its just that sometimes they don't know any better. Most of the time, they just don't know there is a better way. Like " you don't HAVE to take bags every time just because they try to give you one".
And so, even though I didn't offset my trip (partly because I'm broke, partly because I still haven't made up my mind on offsetting), I would say that the overall impact of my trip goes a long way towards canceling out the plane rides. Or at least I prefer to think so.

At American feedlots, like Cargill in Minneapolis, cattle are brought in from breeding farms at around 6 months of age. Prior to this move, the cattle graze on grass. Because their stomachs contain an organ called a "ruminant," they digest grass efficiently. Their stomachs have evolved to include this organ over millions of years. Cattle are actually one of the very few "ruminant" animals in the world—animals that naturally eat only grass.
But when cattle enter a feedlot, they are fed a mixture of corn flakes, antibiotics, and fatty slop. Each animal consumes about 25-33 pounds per day (a conservative estimate), and gain hundreds of pounds before being slaughtered 8-12 months later.
Essentially, as soon as the cattle enter the feedlot, they start dying. The cattle cannot digest corn, but our government needs to manage the country's corn surplus, and selling it cheap to feedlots gets rid of most of that surplus. It also creates a booming market for pharmaceutical companies, because the cattle get sick shortly after beginning their corn diet. They suffer heartburn (alleviated only by a tube shoved down their esophagus to give air to the lungs) and the ruminant size increases and places heavy pressure on the kidneys, lungs, and heart. The pharmaceutical companies provide the antibiotics to treat these symptoms.
The antibiotics alleviate the swelling and aid the otherwise impossible digestion until the cattle reach 14-18 months, when they are slaughtered because they have gained enough fat, or "marbling," but also because they are very close to dying all on their own. Even the onslaught of antibiotics that treat the sick animals can't stave off death for more than 18 months. So, essentially, when we eat purely corn-fed beef, or any meat from factory farms, we are eating a dying animal. The antibiotics, or hormones, that are marketed to the country as "enhancing" are in effect only fending off death for a period of time.

John 10:11-18
11 "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. 12 The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. 13 The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.
14 "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me—15 just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. 17 The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life—only to take it up again. 18 No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."
Jesus the Good Shepherd
By: allaboutjesuschrist.org
Jesus the Good Shepherd – The Origin
Jesus the good shepherd is referenced in the book of John, chapter 10. In His own words, Jesus tells us in John 10:11: "I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep." John 10:14-15: "I am the good shepherd. I know my own sheep, and they know me just as my Father knows me and I know my Father. And I lay down my life for the sheep."
Jesus the Good Shepherd – The Meaning
Jesus is the good shepherd to His believers just as the shepherds were of their livestock. A shepherd tended his flock day and night. He would gather the sheep into a sheepfold at night for their protection. The sheepfold was a pen, a cave, or an area backed by stone walls. Since there were no doors, the shepherd would often sleep or sit in the opening, ready to guard his sheep from harm.
Being different than a hired keeper who might run away in the face of danger, the flock belonged to the shepherd who would stay and defend them. He had a genuine loving concern for what belonged to him. In chapter 10, Jesus illustrates how the shepherd cares for his flock, protecting them from weather, thieves, and predatory animals. He loved and shielded them and if necessary, he would lay down his life for them.
Jesus is that loving protector and caretaker for His flock. Ezekiel 34 foretold of the Messiah who would, like a true shepherd, come to caringly keep God's people. It was a loving message of the coming Christ, the good shepherd.
John 10 tells us how thieves and wolves come to destroy the sheep. But the good shepherd is there to save them. These verses tell us that though Satan comes to steal, kill, and destroy God's people (John 10:10). Jesus is there to protect, love, and save us from destruction giving us eternal life. Jesus came not to merely be the hired keeper but came as the one (the only one), who was and is, completely committed to us — even to His own death and resurrection. Jesus is the good shepherd who lay down His physical life for you and me.
Jesus the good shepherd – The Purpose
Jesus the good shepherd's purpose is to give life and protect from destruction. You may be asking yourself why Jesus needed to give His life for our protection. We all have sinned! By our sin, we are lost to the eternal life God has for us. We will not enter heaven if we don't accept Jesus the good shepherd. Jesus' blood was shed as payment for our sins. But He was resurrected; He lives as our shepherd today!
When we accept this gift, when we believe that He did this for us, we are saved from paying the debt ourselves. Romans 6:23 says: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord." John 6 says that Jesus is the true bread from heaven. John 6:33 says, "The true bread of God is the one who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." Have you accepted the life He offers?
Getting Away From It All
From: getmorestrength.org
"He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul." Psalm 23:2-3
A pastor friend of mine was telling another pastor about the long-awaited vacation that he and his family were preparing for. The other pastor immediately replied, "Vacation? I never take a vacation. Satan doesn't take a vacation and neither do I!"
To which my friend wisely retorted, "Well, that's all right. Satan has never been my example!"
In the summer when school is out and the sun is shining, our thoughts turn toward vacation. And that's a good thing! We were wired with an innate need to take a break from our usual pace and spend some time being refreshed and recharged.
But for some reason, we sometimes seem apologetic about taking time off or needing a change of pace for a little while. It may be that our internal understanding of a real "work ethic" demands that we feel a little guilty about time that we're not being "productive" or "efficient." Or maybe we are concerned that those projects and clients we have been carefully nurturing along will fall to pieces if we put them on hold for a week or two. Maybe we are distorting Paul's words to the Ephesians, resisting vacations and working nonstop so that we can "make the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil" (Ephesians 5:16).
If that's your brain strain, then let me put a biblical stop to that train of thought and provide you with three solid, straight-from-Scripture reasons to enjoy a guilt-free, refreshing time away from your usual pace of work this summer.
Reason number one: it's commanded in Scripture. The fourth commandment tells us to "remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy" (Exodus 20:8). That means more than just going to church on Sunday. The principle of "Sabbath"—rooted in God's example through creation of resting on the seventh day—intertwines with the Old Testament law code.
There were not only to be days of Sabbath, but week-long festivals scattered throughout the Jewish seasons. In fact, there were Sabbath yearsin their calendar! God's loving command was intended to pull His people aside for rest so they would be reminded that all good things come from Him . . . not from their frantic efforts at work.
A second reason why it's a good idea to take a well-deserved break is that your body and spirit need it. I love the picture that David paints for us in Psalm 23:1-6 of a shepherd leading his sheep to a place of refreshment and rest. We are finite, fallible, limited creatures, and without rest we'll find that burnout and exhaustion eventually take their toll. Our ability to be gracious, loving, and patient will be a casualty of our compulsive work habits. Fatigue and weariness will leave us vulnerable to temptation. And most disturbingly, our intimacy with the Lord will suffer as our time with Him becomes perfunctory at best, and nonexistent at worst. All that can be avoided if we allow our Good Shepherd to restore our soul with times of rest in green pastures and with seasons of refreshment beside quiet waters.
And just in case we need another reason to put our feet up and relax now and then, remember that Jesus did it! He often withdrew from the crush of the crowds to seasons of prayer and rest. During a storm on the Sea of Galilee He was sound asleep in the boat (Mark 4:38). And we are told that while on a trip from Judea to Galilee "Jesus, tired as he was from the journey, sat down by the well" (John 4:6). There were always more people to heal, more messages to preach, and more places to go, but Jesus displayed the importance of rest.
So, whether it's a weekend of camping, a day at the pool, or a week away with close friends or family members, turn off the cell-phone, close the computer, and get away! There's no good reason not to!
Jesus-The Shepherd
By: Charles Spurgeon
"He shall feed his flock like a shepherd."— Isaiah xl.11.
We commence with OLD TESTAMENT ILLUSTRATIONS of the manner in which the Lord Jesus Christ discharges the office of feeding his flock like a shepherd.
Out of five great types we begin with Abel, the shepherd slain. The second man who was born into the world was a shepherd, and was in many respects typical of our good shepherd. "Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." Abel was a type of the Saviour in that, being a shepherd, he sanctified his work to the glory of God, and he offered sacrifice of blood upon the altar of the Lord, and the Lord had respect unto Abel and his offering. This early type of our Lord is not very full and comprehensive, but it is exceedingly clear and distinct. Like the first streak of light which tinges the east at the sunrise, it does not reveal everything, but it clearly manifests the great fact that the sun is coming. Abel is nothing like so complete and perfect a portrait of our own Lord Jesus, as other shepherds of whom we have to speak; but as we see him standing a shepherd and yet a sacrificing priest offering upon the altar a sacrifice of sweet smell unto God, we discern there at once the picture of our Lord, who brings before his Father a sacrifice of precious blood, to which Jehovah ever hath respect. Abel, the sacrificing shepherd, was hated by his brother— hated without a cause; and even so was the Saviour: the spirit of this world, the natural and carnal man, hated the better man, the accepted man in whom the Spirit of grace was found, and rested not until his blood had been shed. Abel fell, and sprinkled his own altar and his sacrifice with his own blood; and he must be blind indeed who cannot behold the Lord Jesus slain by the enmity of man while serving as a priest before the Lord. Abel is the type of Jesus the slain shepherd; let us attentively consider him. We have been reading in the tenth chapter of John, this morning, that the good Shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep— let us weep over him as we view him stretched upon the ground by the hatred of mankind at the foot of his own altar of sacrifice, pouring out his blood. We read of Abel' s blood, in the New Testament, that it speaks. "He being dead yet speaks." "The Lord said unto Cain, The voice of thy brother's blood cries unto me from the ground." Herein we have a blessed type of the Lord: his blood had a mighty tongue, and the import of its prevailing cry is not vengeance but mercy.

1. On-Grid System
- Can be used in parallel with the grid
- Imagine the grid as a form of battery in this case – surplus of solar energy can be "stored" in the grid,
- In cloudy days you can withdraw that "stored" energy from the grid.
2. Off-Grid System
- Used in areas without the grid. Therefore, it requires a (physical) battery as an energy storage.
- Similar to On-Grid system, surplus of solar energy is stored, but this time in a real battery.
- The most expensive type of solar installation because of the requirement to get batteries.
- Battery lifetimes stay only for 8 to 10 years while solar project is usually expected to last for 20 years. This means that the batteries will need to be replaced at least once during the project lifetime.
3. Hybrid System
- Using diesel generator as backup power.
- Similar to Off-Grid system, Hybrid system is installed in areas without the grid, therefore it requires batteries as energy storage.
- However, because there is now a backup diesel generator, the batteries need not be as large as Off-Grid system, meaning lower costs can be achieved. This economics advantage is the reason why Hybrid system is popular in remote areas which are not yet exposed to the grid.

Dinner meals at Micah House are provided Monday through Friday at 6:00 p.m.
by our faithful core of volunteers. We call them Meal Hosts.
Who can I call for the latest update on accurate guest numbers?
Before 4:00 p.m. call 905-296-4387.
After 4:30 p.m. call … for Sarah.
What if I can't make it for 5:30 p.m.?
If you are going to be there by 6:15 we'll simply wait, but if its going to be later than that you should call the Night Managers and/or the house line and let people know so that they can make other arrangements.
How much does a typical meal cost?
The price of groceries is going up all the time, but our experience shows you can prepare a colourful, nutritious meal for 12 guests, 2 Night Managers and yourselves (say 4) for $70 or less.
I want to be a Meal Host but I can't afford to purchase the food myself. Can I still be a Meal Host?
Yes. Although the majority of our Meal Hosts will incur this expense, we are happy to do what we can to assist you in your service to newcomers.
Can I get a tax receipt for the food I purchase?
Yes. Save those receipts and give them to us altogether at the end of the calendar year. We can write a tax receipt to one person on your team.
What about halal meat?
Halal is a method of preparing meat that many of our muslim guests prefer. Halal is not any more expensive than regular meat and is readily available in your local grocery store. Two other options are also suitable; one, have a vegetarian meal (or option) and two, use Kosher meat products. Muslims find Kosher to be a very good alternative.
Where can I purchase halal products?
The Hamilton Farmer's Market (downtown), several shops on James Street North, and Samir Foods (east end, Centennial at Queenston, and Upper James Street near Mohawk Road) all offer inexpensive and delicious options. But halal products are also very common in your local supermarket.
I was told to expect a certain number of people but when I arrived there were fewer.
Our guests are required to be at every evening meal but occassionally make appointments that we are unaware of (usually they are looking for apartments). We have tools in place to maximize communication and minimize errors but errors still happen from time to time and we are grateful for your understanding in those instances. Any extra food usually gets eaten within one day.
Who should I contact if I see something in the house that needs repair or some sort of attention?
The Night Managers, Matt & Sarah, are always at the meal when they are able and you can share anything with them. If they are not available please call the office during office hours and speak with Scott.
I prepared a great meal with all the extras but it did not seem to be appreciated. Do they really need what I am offering?
Yes. The nutrition you are providing is precisely what they need for mind and body.
Micah House guests come from all over the world, a variety of cultures and diets. We don't all eat alike. Micah House recommends that you prepare a straightforward meal, without additional sauces and such (see below).
Good foods to use: beef, chicken, fish, rice, potato, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits. Barbequed meats and make-your-own pizza is usually popular too.
Foods to stear away from: pasta, pork (all varities), most casseroles are too "blended together" for people to feel comfortable with.
Sauces & seasoning: Keep all sauces, gravies and strong seasonings on-the-side so that people can decide for themselves how much or whether they want to add them. Plain food is best – there's always an option to dress it up, even if that means just adding ketchup.
It's not always possible to separate out the seasoning from a recipe but try not to make any dish too spicy. Again, people can always add hot-sauce, peppers or something else if they desire.
Dessert: Keep them simple and optional. Fresh-cut fruit, cookies, or yogurt.
"The Bottom Line"
If every meal was meat, rice/potato, vegetable they would be absolutely fine with that. Give them the option to add to things but otherwise keep it simple.

We are so spoiled today with technology. We have amazing DAW's, effects, and amazing sampling libraries from companies like IK Multimedia that help you do anything you can think of! Well I have been digging into Sampletron and to be honest I have never played anything like it before. I mean lofi sounding strings, choirs and flutes that sound so bad they sound amazingly good!
Before we had digital samplers, digital pianos, workstations and all the computer software there were the real instruments. If you wanted to write a song you had to have a real piano, choir and orchestras! Then there was analog recording, you could finally record sound! You could even play it back when ever you wanted! Add effects? Sure! You can even slow the tape down or speed it up for weird sounding effects! It was both a gift and a curse really looking back before digital people were going for clean and now that we have clean we want dirty. Ridiculous really but SampleTron is the best of both worlds bringing old technology to a new medium plus some extras! This isn't just a re released VHS on DVD re released on Blue Ray then streamed online from your NetFlix account, not at all! This is what people have grown to love plus the SampleTank engine which makes for a amazing duo!
So again before digital there was analog right? Well before the Motif, Triton and Fantom there were Chamberlins and Mellotrons. They, much like today's workstations, had a wide range (well at least for that day and age) of sounds recorded to tape reels on each key. When you pressed a key it played the tape of which ever samples were on the tape. They took sounds like strings, flutes, brass, choirs and made them sound beautiful with analog tape! At the time of their release people were very impressed by being able to play many sounds from one keyboard like instrument. Now because all these sounds were recorded and played on tape, and being how tape can wear out and be affected by things like temperature, humidity and even abuse these were very expensive and very fragile. Because of this these are very hard to find or fix and much harder to get one in working order! It is these types of vintage sampler/playback devices made famous by The Beatles, Yes, Genesis, Kanye West and Beck that have become known as "trons"
Now some of you are thinking "Why do I care about old sounds when I have the newest hottest keyboard/VSTi/Software out with tons of fresh sounds!". Well these sounds are unique in that they sound amazing. Kinda like throwing on a old LP and playing the sounds you hear there.
[annoying TV personality voice] "But, but, but, but wait! There is more!" [annoying TV personality voice/]
In SampleTron you get the greatest sample library that you can't really get in real life (Being that they are so hard to find in any type of order and parts are hard to find.) but you also get some extras that will really make people wish they had SampleTron instead of the real thing! With these tapes, once it was finished playing the sound stopped. That's it, sorry I have to rewind and then you can hit the key again and it will sound again. Well much like in Miroslav Philharmonik you have the choice of going the looped route and have a infinite note or have it just like the old days and let the tape run its course. Now being that tape was the main medium used here there were at times noise issues like wow and flutter. Another great feature here in SampleTron is the ability to add or take away noise! Now being that this comes in the great SampleTank engine you also get great synth engines; Stretch, Pitch shift/Time stretch and resampling. All of which really come in handy with some of the Powerhouse and Rhythm Mate models being that instead of the usual strings and such these come with percussion and drum loops! You get amazing lofi sounding drums AND you can match them to any tempo you can stretch too! So for old timers and purists…be jealous, very jealous because we are just getting started.
In comes the beginning of the digital age. Remember? CD's in the 80's? What about 8 bit samplers in the early 80's? Well in SampleTron you get the end and the beginning of a era. You have your basic tape based playback and then you have your Optigan, Talentmaker and Vako Orchestron which used analog optical discs. Even in the Powerhouse which used 8 track tapes for its sample playback medium, but in SampleTron you get 3 welcomed and fitting instruments. The 360 Systems Digital Tron, (An 8 bit digital sampler originally created to replace the analog based trons) Roland VP-330, (early Vocoder) and finally the Stylophone. (Simple electric organ.) Everything about this collection oozes retro lofi that people try and achieve by mangling today's instruments. SampleTron is the best sounding and easiest way to go!
Most purists will hate the idea of their favorite Tron being sold as a sample library, but if they're smart they will jump in on this. You can complain about it all you want but IK Multimedia has a reputation of taking great stuff that was and even is and making it something new fresh and make you instantly fall in love with it! SampleTron is no exception from IK Multimedia's great line up! From the great loops to the amazing retro strings and flutes you will find a spot for SampleTron in your music!

Shark to head to Cronulla country
Te Akau Shark could provide NRL legend Paul Gallen with a brief focus away from his hefty league schedule with Cronulla Sharks next autumn if he lives up to expectations at Riccarton on Wednesday.
Gallen, the veteran back-rower who is set to undergo his record-breaking 19th consecutive season with Cronulla Sharks, is a part-owner of Te Akau Shark, who will start an odds-on favourite in the Group 2 Coupland's Bakeries Mile (1600m).
Gallen has watched on from Sydney as Te Akau Shark, a son of Rip Van Winkle, has amassed a record of four wins from five starts, with his only defeat being when fourth to stablemate Embellish in last year's Group 1 New Zealand 2000 Guineas (1600m) at Riccarton.
Te Akau Shark goes into Wednesday's feature with a last-start win in the Group 3 Red Badge Spring Sprint (1400m) at Hastings on October 6 and if he shapes up again he will be set for a campaign in Gallen's backyard of Sydney.
"I believe he (Gallen) is coming over to see him run at Riccarton," trainer Jamie Richards said.
"Te Akau Shark will be going over there for the Sydney Autumn Carnival if he does well on Wednesday. "He'll have a break after this one then we'll set him for Sydney. He's a pretty exciting horse and I'd like to think he'l be competitive at Group 1 level over there."
Gallen, the former New South Wales State Of Origin captain, was brought into Te Akau Shark by his friend, Steve Mace, a Cronulla Shark's sponsor who has a 35 percent interest in the Group 3 winner.
Te Akau Shark has made positive progress since his two wins this season. "He had a gallop over 1200m at Ellerslie on the 27th (October) and he's done his normal work since then," Richards said.
"He went down last Thursday and has settled in well. We're all happy with him."
Te Akau Shark will be reunited with Opie Bosson on Wednesday, while Jason Laking will partner Unfazed, Te Akau Racing Stables' hope in the Group 3 Valachi Downs Canterbury Breeders' Stakes (1400m).
"Unfazed was very disappointing on Saturday," Richards said.
"It was partly the way the race was run and she got very fired up. She'll have to do things a lot better to be any chance on Wednesday."
Conclusion, part-owned by Richards' parents Paul and Leanne, won well for the stable at Riccarton last Saturday and will back up this coming weekend in a Rating72 1200m, while Richard Of Yorke, a disappointing ninth in last Saturday's Listed Metropolitan Trophy (2500m) at Riccarton will start in the Group 3 Christchurch Casino New Zealand Cup (3200m).
"His run was very ordinary last Saturday, but he's a dead-set stayer and the extra distance should help him," Richards said.
Stablemate Swing Note will not take her place in the New Zealand Cup, despite a useful fourth to outsider Dee And Gee in the Metropolitan Trophy.
"She ran well but is still immature so we're going to take a bit more time with her," Richards said.
"She can have a break then there are some nice targets after Christmas."

The Philadelphia Orchestra's chief conductor: Charles Dutoit
The Philadelphia Orchestra has been in the headlines lately, not for the band's musical prowess, but for their board's decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. The Philadelphians are the first major American orchestra to declare bankruptcy, a decision that has sent rumblings of doom throughout the classical music industry.
Those rumblings were silenced at the Orchestra's Tuesday night appearance at Carnegie Hall under the baton of chief conductor Charles Dutoit. The Swiss maestro brought a contrasting program of works by Igor Stravinsky: the sunny ballet score Apollo and the opera-oratorio Oedipus Rex. The result was an effective contrast of light and dark, exploring two aspects of Stravinsky's neo-classical period.
The succulent, dark tone of the Philadelphia strings have been a trademark of this orchestra since the heady days when Leopold Stokowski stood upon the podium. This performance of Apollo, a work written just for the strings, featured this rich, thick carpet of sound, with soaring solos from the principal players in each section. Apollo marks a very different Stravinsky from the tribal thunder of the Rite of Spring: a work of neo-classical elegance that recalls the music of Haydn.
The jarring, heavy chords that mark the opening bars of Oedipus Rex have the opposite effect. Oedipus uses huge, rough blocks of brass and percussion, combined with an all-male Latin chorus to evoke the marble and masks of Greek tragedy. The Latin setting of Sophocles (by Jean Cocteau) features no onstage action, and all the events of Oedipus' downfall are described by an omniscient narrative before they happen.
In other words, this is the perfect opera to do in a concert setting.
Tenor Paul Groves was a strong Oedipus, exuding confidence in the first act that slowly degenerated into panic. Baritone Robert Gierlach doubled the roles of Creon and the Messenger. While he has a fine voice, he had trouble being heard over the orchestra at full blast. Petra Lang made an impressive vocal entrance as Jocasta, but sounded unusually harsh of tone in the latter half of her scene with Oedipus. Then again, it could have been her character's panic at realizing who her husband really was.
Mr. Dutoit moved the blocks of sound around with the ease of an Athenian work crew, although the heavy orchestra occasionally overwhelmed the soloists. The orchestra played with precision, with rich trombone tones and deadly, precise percussion. The men of the Philadelphia Singers Chorale made the strongest impression as the citizenry of plague-struck Thebes, by turns terrified, enraged, and horrified at the fate of their king. Philadelphia-based Shakespearean actor David Howey was strong and sympathetic as the Narrator.

Acrophobia is a comfortable disease*
September 5, 2013 4 Comments
With apologies to e.e. cummings.* I'm not sure why that poem popped into my head. It has nothing to do with what I'm thinking about. Acrophobia is not a comfortable disease.
I am terrified of heights. I'd do almost anything to wiggle out of playing tour guide to a group of Lutheran kids from Sierra Leone who want nothing more than to go to the top of the JPMorgan Chase tower (55 floors) in Dallas. You can't get to the top, but there's a spectacular observation deck at the bottom of the "keyhole" on the 40th floor. About seven years ago I took those kids up there. We were almost chased away by the guards because the kids were taking pictures. Terrorists, you know.
Yes, I'm pretty much a wall-hugger by whatever definition you give the term.
Another wall I hugged was the stairway to the top of the steeple of the First Congregational Church of Nantucket in about 1979. I was there with the organ tuner. The tall ships were coming into the harbor. We left our work and scrambled up the tower. But when I got to the open space, I could go no further. The organ tuner yelled at me to come on up, or I'd miss the sight. I had every intention of missing it.
The first tall building (not that tall—only 34 floors) I was dragged to the top of was the Kansas City Power and Light Building, the Art Deco masterpiece that dominated the Kansas City skyline when I was a kid. Dragged there by my dad and an uncle when I was in elementary school. I remember my brother and cousins running around the observation deck and leaning over the balustrade as if they were on the ground floor while I hugged the wall.
About the time I hugged that wall, I had my scariest climbing experience. There was no wall to hug. My parents knew the Forest Ranger at the fire lookout tower near the top of Laramie Peak in Wyoming. We lived for the first six months of my life in Douglas, at the foot of the peak, and the ranger was a member of Dad's Baptist Church (my brother and I were born in Douglas). One summer after we moved to Nebraska, we returned to Douglas and drove up the peak see the forest from the ranger's perch. The family clambered up the open staircase while I sat in the car. A thunderstorm blew up. My terror of the stairs was not as great as my fear of the storm, and I managed to climb the tower alone in the rain.
There. Four examples of my acrophobia.
But (and I'm not getting all gooey and inspirational here—simply stating the facts) they are also examples of my overcoming my terror and having pretty wonderful experiences.
I know what Dallas looks like from above. I found my apartment, and I achieved some sense of how this city is laid out (John Neely Bryan or whoever set down the streets was, I am sure, drunk). I saw the Tall Ships in Nantucket harbor, even more magnificent than they had been at Boston in 1976. I had a real sense even as a kid how the Missouri river cuts between the two Kansas City's.
And I saw the natural wonder near my birthplace. I don't know how to explain that experience. In 2005 I tried to get there again and discovered that my dad had accomplished a remarkable feat simply to find the tower. I spent half a day driving around with the instructions of a park ranger at the base of the peak. But I didn't find it on my own.
OK. So here's the gooey inspirational part of this story. (Oh, puleeze!) In a very few instances I have overcome my fears and had important, exciting, lovely (you find the word) experiences as a result. And the fact is that, operationally at least, I am no longer acrophobic. That's a lie. I never put my full weight down in an airplane, doing my part to keep it in the air. I still hate heights (you will never under any circumstance find me on the masochism machines at Six Flags).
I have demonstrated against the Viet Nam War. And against the unconscionable invasion of Iraq (see, we were right). And in support of the Holy Land Foundation five. I've stood in front of groups of people and talked about my beliefs. And I write here about myself in a way I shouldn't.
I do quite a few things that belie my nature as a wall-hugger.
I'm not saying that climbing a fire lookout tower on Laramie Peak made me brave. It didn't. But I'm going to die soon (oh, come on, even 50 years would be "soon" in the grand scheme of things) and I guess I'm beginning to understand that participating is the only thing that makes sense of my having been here in the first place. So I do it sometimes against my better judgment.
Perhaps cummings is appropriate.
*pity this busy monster, manunkind,
not. Progress is a comfortable disease:
your victim (death and life safely beyond)
plays with the bigness of his littleness
—— electrons deify one razorblade
into a mountainrange; lenses extend
unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish
returns on its unself.
A world of made
is not a world of born—— pity poor flesh
and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this
fine specimen of hypermagical
ultraomnipotence. We doctors know
a hopeless case if — listen: there's a hell
of a good universe next door; let's go
—— e. e. cummings
