I was digging through some old bookmarks recently when I came across this post from Afford Anything on . I'm going to quote a bit from the middle of the post where she's discussing a guy who wants a job laid out for him on a silver platter, but the whole thing is worth a read.
There's nothing wrong with having a job. The problem is conceptualizing yourself as "stuck delivering pizzas" when no one else creates a job for you.
Having an "employee mindset" is different than being an employee. Loads of employees have entrepreneurial mentalities — and that's precisely what makes them such great workers. They understand their bosses' perspective.
They're also happier at work. Their job satisfaction comes from their confidence that if they got laid off tomorrow, they could fend for themselves.
But this guy isn't confident. He's insecure — that's why he wants job security so badly. He doesn't believe in himself. He wants other people — smarter, richer, and probably better-looking people — to create a job and bestow it upon him.
You disempower yourself when you believe that someone else must create your job.
The author of this post makes the solution to career problems seem obvious. Just make your own career and you'll be fine.
I'll be honest. I do understand where she's coming from. What she's describing is almost exactly what I did in creating disclaimer-statement.info. I more or less created a job for myself.
I could write a lot about the skills I utilized building disclaimer-statement.info – the ability to manage time, the ability to draft posts quickly, and so on – but there was one simple factor that trumped all the rest of them. I wanted to do this for myself. I had an innate desire to want to build things. I also had help from a lot of people to make it happen, particularly my wife.
It's something that almost every entrepreneurial person I've ever met has as a basic trait. They want to build things for themselves.
The problem is that this is not an innate human trait, and it's not a bad thing not to have the trait.
I can use my parents as a perfect example of this.
My father has that inherent "builder" trait. He can't sit still. He's constantly wanting to build things. His idea of retirement is to run a bunch of small side businesses and build up his incredibly broad social network. He does these things on his own because he's driven to build things. When he was employed by others, he took such control of the task at hand (and other related tasks) that his managers just left him alone to do his thing in his own way.
My mother doesn't have this trait. She's happiest when someone wants her to help them do something. Whenever I call her up and ask her for help with something, she's ecstatic. She's constantly offering assistance to the people in her life with whatever they need. It was through her efforts that pretty much all of my grandparents were able to live independently for as long as they did, and she's pretty much the "go-to" person for help on almost anything you might need. She doesn't have the inherent desire to build like my father does, but she's incredibly valuable because of her willingness and passion for finding ways to help others.
They make a wonderful match for each other. My mother often makes my father's wild tangents work because she's there to help, and they both feel fulfilled and happy.
The thing is, without my mother, many of my father's plans would fall apart (I've seen this at times). Without my father's plans and energy, my mother would be rather directionless (I've seen this at times, too).
The author above who wrote about "the entrepreneur mindset" makes the assumption that everyone is like my father. Clearly, she is, and in many ways I am, but there are a lot of people out there whose skills revolve around being detail-oriented and handling specific tasks with competence and skill.
As I was writing this post, I showed the section above about my parents to several people and asked them who they identified with. I got back a mix of responses, which is exactly what I expected. Some people are wired to build and lead, and others are wired to help and execute.
Still, the author of the post about the entrepreneur mindset makes a great point. If you're wired to build, you're going to find it easier to find employment because you can make a job for yourself.
So, what do you do if you don't have that mindset? What career advice would I give to my mother, in other words, if she were ready to start a new career?
I'd simply tell her to build a skill set that people will pay money for, preferably one that seems enjoyable to you. I immediately thought of a friend of mine who has a burgeoning career as a lab technician. This friend might not have the attributes necessary to lead a laboratory, but give him a task – particularly a technically demanding one – and he will shine. He has the skills and the focus necessary to succeed. Contrary to the quoted section above, his pleasure in his job does not come from a sense that he could just make his own job tomorrrow. It comes from knowing how to do something that others can't (or won't) do and knowing how to do it well.
I'd argue that the key to success for those without the entrepreneur traits is education. Why? People with the entrepreneurial mindset will always pair well with the people who have the specific skills and focus to make those plans succeed.
In the end, I keep coming back to my parents. For every crazy idea or plan that my father had, my mother was so often the perfect complement. He would never succeed without her, nor she without him.
Builders can only go so far. Eventually they need the detail-oriented person to take care of things. There's money to be made on both sides of the equation. The first step is to know which side of the coin you're on and making sure you're preparing for that path.

As longtime readers probably know, I'm not a heel-wearer. While TalkShoes editor Katherine is all about a stiletto pump, I have a nagging injury from youth soccer that keeps me firmly planted on the ground. That doesn't prevent me from dreaming, though, and I've been dreaming about these Christian Louboutin So Kate Python Pumps since I first saw them in December.
I'm of the opinion that the So Kate, in all of its angular beauty, is the best-looking pump shape on the high-end market right now, and the combination of exotic snakeskin and a color-shifting metallic finish makes this pair of So Kates particularly stunning. They're definitely statement-making shoes–tall, sexy and quintessentially Louboutin.

"I love you,"
He grinned, as he held the keys
To my car.
The one he routinely took the liberty
Of calling his car.
He drive it more than I did
Of course he drove me to dinner
Which I paid for
Because I loved him too.
"I love you.."
He breathed into my neck
As he sank himself deep
Inside of me
Minus a condom
He loved that too
No worries as far as he cared
He wouldn't contribute
If anything did happen.
So I was lucky it didn't.
'I love you'
Something I don't say
Because it's got the power
To inspire life, and death
Say it to someone
Who deserves it
Unless you mean it
Then guard that love
"I love you!"
He exclaimed
"let's get married."
My heart compromised
I knew he never cared
He wanted the extra money
Not me.
I was the liability
He made it very clear
And here I am.
Wondering why I believed
The first "I love you."

New soundtrack looks back to the 1960s folk scene
New album: Inside Llewyn Davis Soundtrack
Artists: Oscar Isaac, Justin Timberlake and Various Artists
Label: Nonesuch
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
The soundtrack to the latest Joel and Ethan Coen movie reunites the directors with T-Bone Burnette, the musical guru/producer who helmed their last music-centric project, "O Brother, Where art Thou?".
The "O Brother" soundtrack sold a ton, garnered all the right awards and helped turn a younger generation onto bluegrass music, and "Inside Llewyn Davis" takes a similar path but with 1960s folk. The "Llewyn Davis" project � at least from a musical standpoint � has a tougher mountain to climb, as the folk scene never fully recovered from Bob Dylan's defection to electric-based music.
While Dylan was the breakout commercial star of the folk scene, Dave Van Ronk (the loose inspiration for the Llewyn Davis character) was held up in similar regard within folk music circles and actually supported Dylan early on. Ronk didn't have songwriting chops to match Dylan's, but his performances of other people's material were legendary. Dylan even based his version of "House Of The Rising Son" on Van Ronk's.
It'll be tough turning a new generation that seemingly cares about nothing onto songs that care about everything, but as an accurate depiction the "Llewyn Davis" soundtrack works. The star of "Llewyn Davis" � Oscar Isaac � sings and plays brilliantly on traditional fare such as "Hang Me, Oh Hang Me" and "Fare Thee Well". Isaac's unlikely co-star Justin Timberlake joins in with Carrie Mulligan and Stark Sands for a surprisingly sublime reading of "500 Miles".
The soundtrack features Van Ronk's beautiful version of "Green, Green Rocky Road", but the real eye raiser is the song "Please Mr. Kennedy", a co-write between Burnette, the Coen Brothers, Timberlake, Ed Rush, and George Cromarty. Viewers of the film will have to decide if the song is a tribute to or send-up of the lighter side of protest music.
The "Inside Llewyn Davis" soundtrack no doubt serves it's film counterpart well, but it'll be interesting to see if the music makes any type of impact beyond the lobby of the movie theater.
Classic album: Folksinger
Artist: Dave Van Ronk
Label: Prestige
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Dave Van Ronk was a key figure in the Greenwich Village folk scene of the early 1960s that produced Tom Paxton, Joni Mitchell and Bob Dylan. Ronk's first album appeared in 1959, but his 1967 album "Folksinger" is regarded by many as his best.
Comprised mostly of traditional, public domain songs, Van Ronk's passionate vocals and exquisite acoustic guitar playing were at odds with the electric sounds taking over rock/pop music in 1967. The great folk boom that began in 1960 was pretty much out of gas by the time "Folksinger" was released, but then again Van Ronk never lost sight of his original mission statement, recording and performing acoustic folk until a year before his death in 2002.
Even for people who don't usually go for folk music, "Folksinger" is undoubtedly a sterling collection of music. Van Ronk's only accompaniment on the entire album is his acoustic guitar, and the material is all the better for it. Van Ronk's sly rasp breathes life into ancient material such as "You've Been A Good Old Wagon" and "Stackerlee". Most of these songs were already decades old when Van Ronk recorded them, but the intimate performances wash away the years.
Van Ronk's version of "Poor Lazarus" may be the starkest five minutes in his entire cannon. Based on a Biblical story about a rich man and a beggar, "Lazarus" features a dramatic Van Ronk vocal coupled with sparse, devastating guitar. On the other end of the spectrum, "Chicken Is Nice" and "Long John" border on festive, with Van Ronk sounding like he's just found an extra $20 bill in his pocket.
A few decades later some folk music comes off as overly serious, but Van Ronk had the perfect balance of earnestness and soul on "Folksinger". It's the perfect place for the novice folkie to start.

Review: Hornitos Reposado Tequila
Posted by Arctic Wolf on July 12, 2011
Hornitos Reposado Tequila is a 100 % Agave Tequila produced by the Sauza Tequila Import Company located in Tequila, a municipality of the state of Jalisco, Mexico. The Tequila is the creation of Don Francisco Havier Sauza (Don Franco), a third generation member of the Sauza family who founded the La Preseverancia, distillery. Don Franco is credited with helping the Mexican Government to establish the Jalisco region of Mexico as the exclusive origin of genuine tequila in 1974. Hornitos was reported to be Don Franco's favourite tequila. Unlike other spirits which proudly boast of a maturation period in small oak barrels to ensure heavy contact between the spirit and the oak, Don Franco's Hornitos spirit is different. The Hornitos Reposado is aged in large 10,000 gallon oak 'pipones' to ensure limited contact with the wood during maturation such that the agave flavour remains as pure as is possible in a reposado spirit.
And this concept of minimal wood contact may have some merit. I have spoken with many Tequila aficionados who insist that aging Tequila in oak damages the spirit rather than enhances it. These Tequila connoisseurs are looking for that pure agave expression which Hornitos Reposado promises. Sauza is now part of Beam Global Spirits, and it was the Beam Global Team here in Alberta who made a sample of Hornitos Reposado available to me such that I could provide this review. Here is an excerpt from that review:
"…The initial nose is full of spicy herbal agave fruit. It is a powerful, earthy smell that pours out of the glass growing deeper and stronger as you allow the tequila to breathe. White pepper scents and tart green apples reach the breezes along with grilled pineapple and lemons to round out the nose which is robust and anything but laid back. The scents and aromas from my glass interest me, but I sense a strong warning in those breezes. This is going to be intense…"

As well I have constructed a new cocktail for the Hornitos Reposado which I affectionately call, Nightmare in Pink.

State Game Wardens Conclude Fish-Selling Sting
AUSTIN — State game wardens have issued citations to nine businesses which illegally purchased game fish from undercover officers during a 21-month sting conducted by the Special Operations unit of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's Law Enforcement Division.
In an operation that dates to June 2010, wardens in plain clothes began offering Texas saltwater species including spotted sea trout, red drum (redfish), red snapper, southern flounder and golden croaker to seafood markets and restaurants along the upper Texas coast. Of 42 businesses approached, only 9 of those illegally purchased game fish.
Wardens made video and audio recordings of each illicit sale in addition to preserving cash received and receipts as evidence.
"While we were disappointed that some businesses knowingly purchased game fish for resale, 33 Texas businesses did the right thing and turned our wardens down," said Col. Pete Flores, Law Enforcement Division director.
In all, wardens sold 418 pounds of fish for prices ranging from 60 cents to $4 a pound.
The number and type of misdemeanor citations filed include:
Two for purchase of protected fish (spotted sea trout and red drum; seven for purchase of aquatic products by a wholesale fish dealer; two for having no retail fish dealer's license; three for purchase of aquatic products by retail fish dealers; two for purchase of aquatic products by restaurant owner, operator or employee; two for possession of undersize spotted sea trout; two for possession of undersize red drum; two for possession of undersize red snapper and two for possession of undersize flounder.
For each of these 23 Class C misdemeanors, fines can range up to $500.

As the Indianapolis Colts continued to win without coach Chuck Pagano, it became clear that interim coach/offensive coordinator Bruce Arians would be one of the top candidates for a job after the season. The Cardinals hired Arians on Thursday night.
Coaching search tracker
Gregg Rosenthal provides a one-stop shop for all the latest head-coaching search news. Who are teams targeting? More ...
The Colts have had nothing but praise for Arians and that continued Friday.
"We congratulate Bruce on this great opportunity with the Arizona Cardinals," general manager Ryan Grigson wrote in a statement released by the team. "The exceptional job he did this past season in keeping this team focused, combined with his long record of accomplishment, made him a very attractive candidate for a head coaching position and we congratulate the Cardinals on their good judgment in selecting him.
"BA did a remarkable job last season, filling in for his friend and head coach in a time of need. Without BA's selflessness, leadership, football acumen, and competitive spirit, we couldn't have had the season we did. We surely will miss BA's presence as a coach and a friend but we're delighted for him and we wish Bruce, Chris and their entire family nothing but the best as they embark on their new journey."
Pagano echoed those sentiments.
"We are excited for Bruce, Chris and his entire family," Pagano said in a statement. "This is an opportunity of a lifetime and I know he will do a great job. Arizona hired a great coach but a better man. What he did in my absence was truly remarkable. I am forever in debt to Bruce. He is and always will be a great friend and I wish him nothing but the best as he begins this new chapter in his life."
The 2012 season was truly unique for everyone involved with the Colts. Those within the organization formed a bond that went beyond football. It's kind of strange that Pagano and Arians only coached five games together even though they talked daily throughout Pagano's treatment.
They'll honestly miss him in Indy.

Assume the role of Armado the armadillo and embark upon a great adventure to free the Queen of the land. The Queen is a Great Eagle, the last of an ancient race. While on a journey to visit the Queen, Armado learned of a growing darkness from the South. They moved slowly at first, but eventually overwhelmed and colonized the legendary eagle nests in the mountains. Soon, the Queen herself was captured, and imprisoned. The fox was dressed in old tattered robes and told Armado that the Queen herself had foretold that he would meet a great hero at this very spot. Armado did not think for a moment that meant him. Then the fox handed him a satchel filled with magical eggs, and told Armado that one by one they must be placed into the ancient nests. Before Armado could speak the fox was gone in a puff of blue smoke. And so began Armado's quest to help free the Queen.

Moving onto the big bad himself of the expansion, we come at last to some of the most interestingly designed encounters of the expansion and perhaps the game.
The fight with Deathwing will last through two entire boss encounters at the end of the Dragon Soul instance, the first of which we'll be covering today which actually all takes place atop his back as he flies around, trying to shake you loose like a dog with fleas.
The majority of this fight doesn't really have anything to do with Deathwing directly so much as it's about dealing with the various adds that you'll find atop the dragon.
There's actually quite a lot to cover for these last two fights as they're fairly complex encounters so we'll be breaking this first fight atop his spine into two pieces.
So jumping right in, the fight will begin by initiating a cinematic event aboard the Skyfire. The fight essentially begins the second the first person cancels the cinematic sequence that will play once you start the event so you'll want to make sure everyone's on the same page about when to hit Esc and start the fight, be it right as soon as it starts or some arbitrary point in the middle.
In this first segment, we'll be covering the adds that you'll encounter throughout the fight.
The first are four large orange tentacles called Corruption. The corruption will either hit a couple random raid members with a debuff that will absorb a large amount of healing before being dispelled (200,000) or target a few random members with a stun that deals a large amount of damage over time.
The debuff can only be removed by healing past the shield or outlasting the 5m duration on it and the stun that it does can be stopped by burning through about a fifth of the corruptions HP.
The two other add types throughout the fight will be Corrupted Bloods and Hideous Amalgamations.
These adds will spawn once a corruption tentacle is killed and the larger Amalgamations will need to be tanked as they hit pretty hard.
When a Blood is killed, it'll burst for a small amount of AoE damage and leave a small portion of itself on the ground that the Amalgamations can absorb if they're close enough to it. Once a given Amalgamation has absorbed 9 Blood fragments, they'll power up and start radiating a damaging fire aura that pulses to the raid every few seconds. Once you kill an Amalgamation that has been powered up in this way, they'll channel a final spell where it self-destructs and loosens one of the armored plates on Deathwing's back, provided that they explode near one of them.
The loosened plate can be released by attacking the tendon that it's attached to which has the result of removing the plate as well as spawning two more Corruptions to begin the cycle anew.
And, of course, there's Deathwing himself who doesn't attack you directly but will try to shake you off his back as he flies around.
Having met the players, stay tuned next week where we go into how these disparate elements merge to form the happy encounter that I'm sure you won't possibly be frustrated with after a week or two!

It's easier to fix the white issue, unfortunately there is no section for female movies. Maybe the video store could implement a very small shelf just made up of movies told by female characters.
Since the video store hasn't done that, yet, Kristy decided to make a virtual "dedicated shelf."
- I'd recommend e-mailing at least the librarians at the Bentonville Public Libraries, and perhaps e-mailing the Mayor & City Councilmembers, in detailing why you think it's proper to have a lesbian sex manual that received a raving review and the assessment "For all public libraries" from Library Journal. Why? There's a man who's already gotten the book at least temporarily pulled from the shelves and also wants the library director fired.Personally, I stayed away from the "free speech" and "multiple perspectives" angle, as that doesn't go away with people who think multiple perspectives lead to people committing atrocious, immoral acts against one another. I played to that very fear and wrote about the atrocious, immoral acts teenage boys have been committing--like cell-phone-filmed gang rapes--lately as their exposure to [increasingly violent in the mainstream] porn has been less and less counterbalanced by any exposure to details about consensual, non-hurtful sex.
But feel free to take your own approach.
- It's great that Ms. Nakashima put sexualized threats against internet opinion-holders on the front page of the WaPo, but bloggers weren't willing to take any chances! Take Back the Blog was a blogswarm (that means that everyone blogs about one subject and tells the host page that they did so --ed.) against threats--especially sexualized ones--against people--especially people belonging to non-dominant social groups--who express their opinions online.
- Ellen Nakashima wrote an article full of strong, certain, non-wishy-washy words about women getting sexualized threats online simply for existing, and it seems the Washington Post published it on the front page! Good. (Thanks to Feminist Law Profs for the tip-off.
- The Daily Kos is starting to direct its liberally-minded attention towards women's issues.
In the last three weeks, in addition to posts directly related to the Supreme Court's decision, at least 3 feminist user diaries stayed on the "Most Recommended Diaries" list all day (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7), at least 2 or 3 well-discussed feminist articles appeared on the front page (1, 2), and several interesting feminist user diaries were featured near the tip-top, most attention-getting spot in "diary rescue" articles on the front page (1, 2).
Also, Kos himself is taking paternity leave (except for an article or two a week) from the Daily Kos--and in my mind, that's a significant pro-feminist action.
I recognize that the site still has a long way to go--Kos did write that horrendous "It's not as if those cowards will actually act on their threats" article, and as Pam Spaulding and Tinfoil Hattie pointed out, Pandagon was the only "major lefty blog" to shine a spotlight on Akon's apparent sexual assault of a woman onstage (and I kind of wonder myself if a user diary on that subject would've made it into the "most recommended diaries" list, even during this increasingly feminist time on the Daily Kos).
Nevertheless, I thought it was worth taking some time to point out positive changes!
- Blackamazon at Having Read the Fine Print enumerated the sins of dominant members of society and the sins of members of the media in "Hip-Hop Didn't Do That Shit"
- M. Dot at Model Minority might have written the most concise summary of what has people calling what Akon did on stage to a woman "sexual assault," generally in feminist circles, and "wrong," generally in the general public. (By the way, I like the suggestion in Pandagon's comments to edit his Wikipedia entry. Just please do be analytical in your writing and reasonable about your sources--you wouldn't want to see links to opinion blogs as the only sources for an opinion about birth control, would you? --ed.)
- Fire Fly at She Who Stumbles May Not Fall pointed out in the "Stage" part of The Sex Of Street And Stage that determining the offensiveness of Richard Gere's actions upon Shilpa Shetty by the degree of sexual contact means founding one's argument on the following statement: "Male agency defines and constitutes what is sexual, while women's agency is a non-issue." Read the post for more well-written points!
- Rev. Sequoyah Kofi-Ade at Intelligentaindigena wrote about the past and present of relationships between non-native-Americans and native Americans in light of the sexual assault study that recently gained publicity. The photo he accompanied it with is heart-wrenching.
- Fuck you, people Minneapolis & St. Paul, MN, USA, for getting your asses out of your chairs to rally in support of only one side in a rape case. Fuck you. (More specifically, the side that the good historical assessments show has a higher probability of being the one not telling the truth. Though I do allow for some temperance of that by ideas like Sailorman's on consent understanding types and on "moral rape" and "criminal rape" (like "kill" versus "murder")--but not enough to completely flip the probability!) (Thanks, Yolanda Carrington.)
- *headsmack* Following gang-rape-glorifying model shoots and then DV-glorifying model shoots, let's publicize racism-glorifying model shoots, everybody!
- Madeleine Begun Kane penned a song parody to criticize the First Lady for arrogantly uttering extremely hurtful words.
- Samhita at Feministing posted a video of a boy dancing in a way traditionally reserved for women in American pop culture. Samhita wrote:
Why can't I dance like that? Clearly, Beyonce is NOT just a role model for little girls.
- Carol Holder at Can't Holder Tongue asked what kinds of highly influential and powerful women we should cross our fingers the hardest to get to see at this moment in time: women whom society entrusts with power because they display "inherently feminine" qualities or women whom society entrusts with power because they display long-valued qualities that society previously didn't believe women were capable of possessing?
- Sticking overall to "femininity" might be a wonderful thing for a person to do--just check out the feminist speculation about Segolene Royal!
But here's a trait currently belonging to "femininity" that I think "feminine" could do without from now on: body hatred (yes, even the jokes we make to show we're reasonably humble--find another subject to demonstrate humility with, please!). Read more about women's relationships with their bodies in Figure's interview of Dr. Suzie Orbach.
- At Diary of a Goldfish, Goldfish wrote a fabulous "sex and gender" post with references to what biology knows and conjectures about what people should do.
- I'm not sure which I like better about Padma's post at Pass the Roti On the Left Hand Side: hilighting the crazy idea that a menstruating woman is anything but "fit" (on account of her menstruating status, that is) or speculating that some people think of being a good office worker as impossible for anyone who has a reminder of his/her existence as an animal.
- Avtor Lina na at Uncool pointed out a lot of evidence that Western society is not "post-feminist" (or, as she said, "feminized." Don't confuse that with "made more feminine.")
- Sparklematrix guessed that Female Sexual Arousal Disorder is "disease mongering."
- Michelle from Mutant Cat was not too happy about an American abstinence-only educational program's description of men's vs. women's reactions to sexual stimuli.
- Ann Bartow / Dundee at Feminist Law Profs found a series of public service announcements that assumes online sexual exploitation only happens to girls and women.
- Pinko Feminist Hellcat decided that if so many people in her society were going to explain the origins of sexual violence with gender essentialist theories about sexual desire and consent, then she'd better propose a plan to reduce sexual violence based on their theories.
- m. at Sthreeling brought attention to sexism in a mainstream Indian magazine's article art.
- Andrea Tekanji at Shrub wrote a post on game design that I think is best summed up by its first subheading: "If it's not about making 'ugly' avatars, then what is it about?" She also offered companies advice about transitioning.
- Satire video "The World Series of Uno" is a nice example of filming women/girls/men/boys in ways that don't essentialize by gender.
- Veronica at The Red Thread wrote about princess toys and princess gear marketed at girls.
Editor's note: If you'd like a primer about feminism in children's toys and gear, browse through the archives of Packaging Girlhood and Girl Wonder.
- Note: This post is on racial essentialism, not gender essentialism. --ed. N.K. Jemisin guest blogged at The Angry Black Woman about the lack of racial diversity in science fiction.
- Lisa Fortuner at Newsarama insisted, "Nobody who wants to see real diversity in any medium wants to support censorship," because apparently it's crucial to convince comic book fans that contentions about representation of social groups and contentions about social issues are not discussions they should keep drowning out with worried posts about censorship.
("Contentions:" "analyze, criticize, complain, demand, and generally make a pest of myself," according to Lisa! :-) -ed.)
- John Finney at Growth is Madness (which I believe focuses on both economic and population growth--ed.) drew attention to and commented on Katha Pollitt's feminist post about population growth on Alternet's EnviroHealth.
Finney liked Pollitt's piece because she seemed to keep "women's issues" and "population growth issues" separate in her analysis even as she pointed out the ways they can both hurt the same people.
The article itself covers Europe's population growth-encouraging policies (many of which make feminists proud) and questions whether those very policies, by causing population growth, are going to hurt women in the end.
- Jeremy Adam Smith at Daddy Dialectic saw a little bit of gender essentialism and a lot of classism in an article Linda Hirshman wrote (and mentioned him in) about staying at home vs. working outside the home.
- The Supreme Court & the ban on Dilate & Extract abortions
- Veronica at The Red Thread described her feelings about saving her life via late-term abortion before, while, and after pregnancy and expressed what she thinks the ruling says the 5 judges think of doctors and of women.
- KC at Bligbi related a personal story (that even involves a physician denying birth control to a woman too poor to shop around and get it by any means) as a refutation of bans on Dilate & Extract abortions.
- DBB at Disgusted Beyond Belief wrote about his wife's health-related abortion (fortunately, it was legal for him to choose to abort before "or she'll die!" was 100% certain). He attracted some controversial commenters--one in particular tried to explain why he definitely valued the life of his potential kids more than the life of his wife.
- Duke
- Marcella Chester at abyss2hope wrote about many subjects in "Why I'm Not Eating Crow Over the Duke Case". Highlights:
- Legal philosophy that, because an assumption != evidence, assuming that alleged rape victims' claims are truthful does not undermine alleged rapists' "innocent until proven guilty" status in a court of law.
- "Allowing this 'she was just a 'ho' argument to stand unchallenged is the same as giving rapists a list of who can be raped without fear of prosecution."
- Comments on theories that the accusations were a hoax
- John Palmer at LongHairedWeirdo mused that perhaps actions of several lacrosse players gave Ms. Magnum an overwhelmingly realistic flashback to a previous sexual assault. He speculated:
She left behind her handbag, with a good chunk of money in it.
Tell me that she was treated respectfully and in a non-frightening manner, but she bolted without her money, and it just doesn't compute.
it seems impossible to believe that she wasn't frightened by something.
People who think she was seeking revenge for something said or done to her, remember this: she didn't go out and make those accusations. The police were called because of her condition (seeming to be drunk), and it was only after the officer hassled her a bit (the report I found said he used a hold that would be painful if she didn't move as he directed) that she broke out of her shell and said she'd been raped.
This, to me, does not sound like a person trying to get revenge and making up lies. It sounds exactly like a traumatized person coming out of a daze, and reporting what she believed happened.
A flashback can seem real, as if it's happening right now.
later that night, she then reported to the police what she remembered, as best as she could.
Let me say that again and emphasize it: as best as she could.
It is not a "lie" or a "false accusation" or "revenge" if, having been traumatized once, she was scared, and had a flashback, and couldn't keep the two events separate in her mind. It is the responsibility of the authorities, the police and the prosecutors, to investigate the accusations. Crime victims often misremember the details of what, exactly happened.
I'm not going to excuse DA Nifong for what he did, but I will suggest that his motives - not his actions, but his motives - were better than most people believe.
- Marcella Chester at abyss2hope wrote about many subjects in "Why I'm Not Eating Crow Over the Duke Case". Highlights:
- Other
- Cynical at Cynical Anti-Orientalist wrote about Seung-Hui Cho's "in between" status due to the age at which he immigrated to the United States and enumerated some social structures we could tweak to better accomodate people who immigrate at that age.
- Ariel Wetzel at Shrub wrote about institutionalized violence (a close topic to "state violence").
- Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon wrote an essay that, especially towards its end, lists and conjectures a lot of personal situations that make good examples for mentioning in pro-choice arguments.
- Silver, a commenter on Gizmodo, tried to show her principles about objectification and about violence with her feet by leaving a site and explaining why--unfortunately, people made fun of her on both counts. In response to the former, she got the usual run of "But don't you like objectification? I do!" replies from both men (TheBugMan) and women (Demial). *sigh* I'm trying to decide whether or not I'll refer them to jlg1's Objectified != Idealized and Annalee Newitz's Wired Discovers Feminism, Puts Naked Man On Cover.
- Kactus at Super Babymama asked about sex positivity for the nonsexual being (or the person who's not as sexual as she used to be).
- Lauredhel at Hoyden About Town renamed "sex-positive feminism" "individualist fluffy feminism" and gave reasons she wishes people wouldn't embrace it so often.
- Comments 2-4 on Lauredhel's post are interesting, and the opening sentences of Shannon's response to Lauredhel's post at Egotistical Whining seem to do what tigtog begs for feminists to spend more time on in Comment #2 on Lauredhel's post.
- Belledame222 at Fetch Me My Axe wrote her first full essay on porn.
- Twisty at I Blame the Patriarchy reponded to a reader question about porn, and I was intrigued by this quote:
...anything called "porn"...exists only to enthrobulate the fetishization of culturally-generated (and, frankly, comically hokey) constructs. It is readily apparent to the visitor from the planet Obstreperon that these constructs include arbitrary standards of [long list: read the post--ed.]--and that they have, at their root, everything to do with a paradigm of dominance and nothing to do with actual sex between individuals with equivalent personal sovereignty.
What do you think? Does Twisty's list of inclusions in culturally-generated constructs have anything to do with actual sex between individuals with equivalent persnoal sovereignity? Does her list have everything to do with a paradigm of dominance or only "somewhat of something to do" with it?
- The Angry Black Woman surveyed her female readers of color to ask if race or gender had given them more difficulty in life. For TABW, it was gender. For many commenters, it was race.
- Edith Yeung pondered whether the idea that someone can "complete" another person is a good one for people to have.
I would say that whether it can be true for someone or not depends on the person, and that we should encourage people--in a Heinleinian way--to think that 0-10+ other people might "complete" a person! You never know what you'll grow up to be!
But then she threw me a curveball--what if someone who is a "completer" feels self-completed yet wants to be in a relationship with the person they allegedly complete? As Edith put it: "Can't you imagine Jerry's girlfriend responding with 'That's great Jerry, but I complete me. Would you be okay with that?'"
- Andrea Tekanji of Shrub explained why she thinks it's a good idea to call our ideas "feminism" rather than "humanism" or "anti-sexism."
- Academic Pointillism's author wrote an academic-style essay about poor treatment of members of certain social groups and looked into possible membership demographics on Digg.
- Tze Ming Mok at Yellow Peril shared her experiences with online harrassment.
- Pinko Feminist Hellcat was not happy that women are looked upon harshly if they wear either too little or too much to the swimming pool.
- Piny of Feministe cross-posted one sexual assault survivor's account of why she didn't tell, and comments with other readers' accounts of what happened and why they didn't tell started flooding in. It's powerful.
- BetaCandy at The Hathor Legacy's feminism subsection explained why sexual assault is different from other kinds of assault.
- Dora of Shrub posted a series of reflections on her academic readings for a college course called Women and Violence.
- Xyzskybabe reposted a review of Andrea Dworkin's Woman Hating.
- Lauren at Faux Real criticized Linda Hirshman, saying Hirshman preaches to women she constantly disparages.
- Heidi at The Wood Vale Diaries ran calculations on childcare costs in the UK.
- Sandra at Here in Korea lost most of her creative impulse after childhood, but she is thoroughly enjoying watching her daughter display the same zeal she once did.
- If someone you know is a gamer and identifies as a girl or woman, send her Cerise Gaming Magazine For Women. It's new. (Oh, and of course think about getting her a subscription to Shameless and cluing her in to the blogs, where people older than the magazine's target audience seem to congregate and converse in the comments section.)
- ChasingMoksha at hah! warned the blogosphere that a "Stop Violence Against Women" blog sticker is an ad-driven hoax.
- Frank Deford's rant about Title IX on National Public Radio started out like most offensive Title IX rants do, but in the middle he said, "Of course, we can't blame young women for..." and ended with proposals that, while some people might discount them as absurd, feminists have to admit are delightfully free of gendered punishments for people who didn't do anything wrong!
- I almost didn't include this, because by the end of the day the event was referred to a counter-terrorism force. However, I do need to hilight this quote to give fellow Christians the same kind of perspective it gave me:
You can bet that people won't be getting dirty looks for wearing crosses or crucifixes, or for having fish symbols on their car, or saying "God bless you" when someone sneezes. Tomorrow, there won't be any reports of a group of priests being arrested for praying in an airport.
What a difference a majority can (but doesn't have to) make. :-(

After more than 40 years of creating some of the most delectable baked goods around, the secret to Cakemasters Bakery�s success is simple: Quality never goes out of style.
FORT WALTON BEACH � After more than 40 years of creating some of the most delectable baked goods around, the secret to Cakemasters Bakery�s success is simple: Quality never goes out of style.
Cakemasters has stood the test of time to become a staple in the Fort Walton Beach community.
�You can go try other things and you just come back to quality,� said Lisa Schomburg, who owns Cakemasters with her father, Bob. �You always go back to that. Your taste buds have the best memory of everything. Our minds might go, but our taste buds remember.
�You have to be good at what you do,� Schomburg added. �But we also attribute being in business so long to the fine community that we live in.�
Bob Schomburg, who opened Cakemasters in March 1971, started working in his father�s bakery in Philadelphia when he was just 8 years old. By the time he was 22 he already was a master baker.
Nowadays, Lisa Schomburg, who also is a master baker, has taken over a lot of the heavy lifting from her father, starting most days about 3 a.m. and putting in about 85 hours a week. Bob, who is in his late 70s, still works every day and puts in about 40 hours a week.
�We make everything from scratch,� Lisa said. �We don�t take it out of a box. It�s a lot of hard work. The bowls are big, the oven is big, everything is heavy. The doughs are heavy.�
In fact, little has changed in the past 42 years. Cakemasters still makes an assortment of cakes, breads, desserts, pastries, pies and cookies from scratch daily.
A lot of the techniques the Schomburgs use are the same ones Bob used when the store first opened.
�We�ve gotten better or maybe we learned from our mistakes,� Lisa said.
�No, I didn�t make any mistakes,� Bob quickly responded.
Cakemasters has its share of regular customers. Steve Olivier of Fort Walton Beach has been coming in for 40 years and says the bakery�s chocolate biscotti is his favorite.
Olivier said the business is an important part of Fort Walton Beach.
�They�re the most comfortable store in town,� Olivier said. �Better than a pair of shoes.
�It�s the warmth, the friendship, the genuineness, the reasonableness and the exquisite taste,� he added.

From this perspective, energy usage is one characteristic of stress. Another
characteristic is lack of specificity. Any demands made upon us in daily life
bring about certain reactions in the body. These same reactions occur under a
whole range of different conditions, both physical and emotional - from hot and
cold to joy and sorrow. As aware, feeling people, we probably make a big
distinction between the pain caused by the loss of a loved one and the pain
caused by the temperature dropping too fast; but the nature of the demand is
unimportant at the biological level. To the body, it's all the same because the
stress response is always the same. Nerve signals are sent from the brain to
several glands, and these react by secreting hormones to cope with the task
ahead. So stress is not just worry and strain. It is a keynote of life, with
all its ups and downs. A new and exciting love can cause us as much stress as a
cranky boss.
The range of responses triggered by stress demonstrates the intricate ties that
exist between the mental and physical components of who we are. Before we look
a little closer at these responses, it may be useful to review some of the
scientific theories about stress. It may seem that many of these theories
revolve around minor semantic differences. I'm afraid that appears to be the
level of the research on the topic to date.
Theories about stress tend to fall into three categories:
Viewing stress this way is fine if we think of people as girder bridges, but
that's not how an herbalist views them! Two of the problems with this
mechanistic approach to stress are:

It is indeed refreshing to know that in an era when most politicians clamor for the limelight and have their egos stroked to puff up their self-esteem; there is one among us who truly cares about people and the common good. Larry Honeycutt is such a man.
While the Indian Land Action Council (ILAC) is a non-political entity, we believe in giving credit where credit is due. Mr. Honeycutt is to be applauded for his service to his district, but more importantly to the entire Lancaster County.

AUSTIN, Texas, May 9 (UPI) -- U.S. President Barack Obama Thursday told a crowd of 400 at a Texas high school not to listen to all the "doom and gloom" coming out of Washington.
Obama traveled to Austin to tout jobs creation in industries that represent the future.
"You might not know this, because if you've, you know, listened to all the doom and gloom in Washington and politics and -- you're watching cable TV, sometimes you might get kind of thinking nothing's going right," Obama told listeners at Manor New Technology High School. "But the truth is, there's a lot of reasons for us to feel optimistic about where we're headed as a country, especially after all the tough times that we've been through over the last several years."
Obama kibitzed with students who built a robot designed to throw Frisbees. When the president asked the students to turn it on, it malfunctioned and Obama declared a "technical difficulty."
In his remarks, Obama said with corporate profits at all-time highs and many sectors of the economy doing better, it's time now to focus on creating jobs and opportunities for the middle class.
Obama said he needs people to lean "on your elected representatives and say, 'Hey, let's do something about this.'"
Obama noted 85,000 jobs have been created in the Austin area in the last three years, and Apple Inc. and Visa are poised to open new offices.
"According to one report, the tech sector now drives more than one-quarter of Austin's economy," he said. "And all of this has helped to make Austin one of the fastest-growing cities in America."
Obama also hit on familiar themes like the need to improve education and reduce college costs.
"Every young person in America deserves a world-class education. We've got an obligation to give it to them," he said.
After the school appearance, Obama went to Stubb's Bar-b-q for lunch and made small talk with other customers.
Obama largely repeated his talking points later an appearance at Applied Materials Inc., noting the U.S. economy is "dynamic" and "technology is constantly changing."
"That means we've got to adapt as well. And even as we're working to reverse the trend of communities that have been hard hit with old manufacturing leaving, we've got to propose partnerships with local leaders in manufacturing communities to help attract new investment in the infrastructure and the research that will attract new jobs and new businesses, so that communities that have been knocked down can get back up and get back on their feet," Obama said.
Republican Gov. Rick Perry said through a spokeswoman Texas was "the right place" for President Obama to visit to talk about economic growth.
"If President Obama is serious about getting our nation's economy working again, then he's come to the right place," Lucy Nashed told the National Review as Obama prepared for the first of several planned presidential day trips the White House calls "Middle Class Jobs & Opportunity Tours" to remind Americans the economy still tops Obama's agenda, even as he addresses immigration reform and other issues.
"Texas' success didn't happen by accident," Nashed said. "It's a result of policies put in place under Governor Perry's leadership with a laser focus on making Texas a beacon of economic freedom."

Wild Leek, Parsnip and Asparagus Soup
Northern Michigan Recipe: One trip to a Northern Michigan farmers market and you'll have everything you need for The Intentional Minimalist blogger Kristin Celeste Schroeger's Wild Leek, Parsnip and Asparagus Soup recipe. Grab some of 9 Bean Rows' fresh baked bread and have yourself a complete and satisfying meal.
This recipe features local produce from 9 Bean Rows Farm and Spring Hollow Farms.
Check out The Intentional Minimalist's blog: Minimalist farm-to-table recipes created with local fresh produce paired with homemade infused oils, dressings, marinades, pestos and sauces. By eating seasonally, we reap the benefits of good health through nutrition from fresh, unprocessed and sustainable produce.
- Farm fresh local asparagus Farm fresh local wild leeks
- Farm fresh local thyme
- Farm fresh local parsnips
- Farm fresh local butterball potatoes
- Farm fresh local chives
- Wild leek infused olive oil (recipe link)
- White pepper Sea salt
Chop two cups asparagus into one half inch pieces and cook in a large metal soup pot with one teaspoon leek oil and a pinch of salt for three minutes covered on medium heat. Remove asparagus from pot and set aside.
Slice one half cup leek whites and saute in soup pot with remaining leek oil from asparagus over medium heat for two minutes. Chop four cups parsnips with skins on and two cups potatoes with skins on. Add parsnips and potatoes to leek whites in soup pot. Stir in one tablespoon leek oil and one half teaspoon salt. Cook parsnips and potatoes for five minutes stirring often over medium heat.

Paleolimnology may not be an everyday word, but the environmental problems it helps solve are
Water pollution, climatic change, declining fisheries – these environmental problems are at the forefront of many people's minds. And so are the dreaded diseases like cancer, asthma, autism, that many experts feel are linked to toxic chemicals in our environment, in particular, our fresh water supplies.
John Smol and his team at the Paleoecological Environmental Assessment and Research Laboratory (PEARL), at Queen's University, go deep below the surface of our lakes and rivers to uncover the secrets of our environmental history, written in the mud and silt.
Professor Smol's work has been informing policy discussions and decisions nationally and internationally for many years, starting with his acclaimed role in the acid rain debates. With the help of the PEARL team, his research has enabled policy makers to make knowledgeable, proactive decisions in areas such as agricultural runoff, clearcutting, protection of fish habitats, and air pollution control.
With a public more concerned and informed about the environment than ever before, PEARL's ongoing discoveries enable governments to be leaders in the stewardship of Canadian natural resources.
No matter how complicated paleolimnology might sound to you, to John, it's all about one simple vision: the more we know about our environment, the better decisions we can make to protect it.

Why Prune?
- To preserve the shape of a plant
- To restrict the size of a plant.
- To encourage productive growth (eg rose pruning or fruit tree pruning).
- To remove dead wood.
- To remove old canes from the base (eg abelia, reinwardtia, may bush).
- To thin a canopy and allow air movement through branches.
- To form plants into special shapes – topiarising or standardising.
- To encourage colourful new growth – photinia.
- To maintain a hedge or screen.
- To 'stop' plants and encourage branching growth.
What to Prune, When?
In Winter
- Deciduous fruit trees, grape vines and ornamentals
- Roses
In Spring
- Spring-flowering shrubs and blossom trees, after they finish blooming
- Roses that only flower in spring, after they have finished flowering
- Summer-blooming plants such as fuchsias, hibiscus, impatiens, plumbago, geraniums, abelia, buddleia
- Diosma, choisya, grevilleas lightly after flowering
- Frost damaged parts of plants
- Hedge plants
- Remove oldest canes from clumping bushes such as May (Spiraea) bushes or philadelphus
In Summer
- Spent flowers on shrubs and perennials
- If desired, hard prune roses to encourage autumn flowers
- Remove long canes on climbers such as wisteria and jasmine
In Autumn
- Prune flowered hydrangeas shoots to two plump buds
- Trim hedge plants
Pruning Fruit Trees in the Home Garden
- Apples – remove weak growth and reduce overcrowded shoots.
- Almonds – lightly cut back in June. Timing is critical to prevent disease.
- Blueberries – remove old, weak branches.
- Cherries – remove some fruiting spurs every 3-5 years.
- Chinese Gooseberries – main pruning in July, shorten growth in summer. Develop four main leaders and allow fruiting spurs to develop from these. After three years, remove these spurs to allow development of new spurs.
- Citrus – citrus need little pruning, but to prevent collar rot, it's a good practice to remove lower branches so that there is plenty of air movement around the base of the plant. Very old citrus can be rejuvenated by skeletonising to the main branches in spring. Follow up by fertilising to promote new growth.
- Grape vines – prune to develop an upright main stem that branches into horizontal stems. Allow laterals shoots to develop every 40-50cm along the main stem. Each year, shorten laterals back to two buds.
- Peaches and Nectarines – Open up centre of plant during first years. Shorten long shoots.
- Mulberry – little or no pruning. Remove dead wood.
- Passionfruit – remove excessive leaf growth and cut fruiting laterals back to two buds.
- Plums – shorten long, pendulous growth. Open centre of plant.
- Pears – shorten upright growth to develop horizontal branches.
Espalier and topiary produce plants cut into specific shapes. Choose plants with small leaves, close growth and the ability to produce shoots all along the stems.

Kim Sengupta and Catrina Stewart
London Independent
November 19, 2011
Britain has formally opened talks with the Syrian opposition movement as international pressure continues to mount against the beleaguered regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
Frances Guy, a former ambassador to Lebanon, met members of the exiled opposition in Paris yesterday. The Foreign Secretary, William Hague, is to meet members of the Syrian opposition in London next week when they will also hold talks with senior officials in Downing Street.
Although the UK, along with other Western states like France – which appealed to the United Nations yesterday to impose tougher sanctions – has been in informal contact with the opposition for the last three months, the progression of the working relationship opens up the prospect of the rebels eventually being recognised as the country's representatives and supplanting the Assad regime.
The West's Libyan mission started in a similar fashion with the country's revolutionaries, but senior diplomatic sources warned against drawing parallels. "This is not about recognition of them as the government – that is not the case," said a senior diplomatic source. "The difference with the Libyan situation was that the Libyan National Transitional Council controlled swathes of the country. We are asking the Syrian opposition to present a coherent set of policies and organise themselves." The Syrian National Council and the National Co-ordination Committee for Democratic Change are among the groups whose leaders have been involved in the talks.

Authorities say a man has died after being pulled from the swimming portion of a triathlon in southwest Florida.
Another racer alerted lifeguards that the man was struggling in the rough waters Sunday. North Naples Fire District Capt. Chuck Bacon says the man was brought to shore on a paddleboard.
The man was pronounced dead at a hospital. The cause of death was not released.
Organizers of the HITS Endurance triathlon tell the Naples Daily News that the man's death was a tragedy and racer safety is their first priority.
Authorities declined to release the man's name, citing the wishes of his family.
The man was among 300 people participating in the Sprint Distance event. The race includes a half-mile swim, a 12.4-mile bike race and a 3.1-mile run.

|Jimmy Semmens - Australian Bantamweight Boxing Champion 1921 - 1925
So who was Jimmy Semmens?
Some quick research this evening has revealed that he was an Australian Bantamweight Boxing Champion. His first fight for the title against Billy Tingle in front of a crowd of 8000 people at the West Melbourne Stadium on 1st October 1921 ended in a knockout when Tingle went down after 14 of the scheduled 20 rounds. Semmens was described in The Argus as being "a clean build, fast and resourceful boxer, with a remarkable left-hand punch, which he uses as a rapier to keep an opponent at safe distance."
Jimmy retained the title over the next few years fighting George Storey (KO), Mike Flynn (won on a foul low left), Billy Grime (PTS), Bert Ristuccia (PTS). Jimmy was defeated by a knockout from Stan Thurbon in the 6th round at Leichhardt Stadium on 17th July 1925.
Jimmy's career spanned 1920 - 1932. He won 13, lost 8 and drew 2 fights. FightsRec
At this stage I don't know anything about the connection between Jimmy and his uncle Tom. Thomas Smith, a builder had married Margaret Waters in Manly in 1917 when she was 54 years old. I believe he was the Thomas Smith who died in Armidale in 1934.
Unfortunately this photo was the only photo we found this weekend which was easily identifiable.
If anyone out there knows anything about Jimmy Semmens please leave a reply.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – After picking up a pair of wins last week including a victory in his first collegiate start, Lipscomb baseball freshman hurler Denton Norman has been named the Tennessee Sports Writers Association Pitcher of the Week.
Norman took to the hill on Tuesday night for his first career start and blanked Western Kentucky for seven innings as the Bisons combined to shutout the Hilltoppers. The rookie then followed up that performance with a four-inning relief outing on Sunday to pick up a key Atlantic Sun Conference win on the road at then No. 24 Mercer.
The Bears notched one run against Norman as the Katy, Texas native gave up his first run in his last 17 innings of work. On the season, Norman is 2-0 with a 2.21 ERA in 21.0 innings on the mound.
Norman is the first Bison to pick up TSWA pitcher honors for Lipscomb this season.
The Bisons continue A-Sun play this weekend hosting Stetson for a three-game series that gets underway on Friday night at 6 p.m.

Laguna Beach should be celebrated as a music colony — especially for world-class reggae — as much as an art colony.
It started back in the late '70s, when Laguna native Eric "Redz" Morton was 21 and gigging as the bassist in a L.A. Latin jazz band called La Luce.
Unfortunately, this was the horrendous period of pop culture known as the disco era, and fabulously textured Latin jazz wasn't the music to eat 'ludes and snort coke to. Disco was decidedly not a path Redz was willing to follow (anyone who knows the rootsy Redz can't picture him in sequins and platform shoes).
Despairing over his prospects to make a living playing music, his bandmate Jack Miller one day asked, "Have you heard about reggae?"
At the end of this column, the author suggests the city have a separate committee for music. In fact, the Arts Commission has a performing arts subcommittee, which puts on 19 concerts annually.
The only thing Redz remembered was that Paul McCartney said it was the sound of the future. So he checked it out. And from that first melodic, thick bassline with the big spaces in between that make listeners close their eyes and undulate, a lifelong love affair with reggae music began. It has drawn tens of thousands of reggae lovers to Laguna, and hundreds of players.
Bass is the foundation of reggae, and Redz wasn't initially in the pocket, that place where musicians don't think, but just feel. He knew that to truly master the gestalt of reggae, he needed to go to the source: Kingston, Jamaica. So this skinny Jewish kid from Laguna with fair skin and a shock of red hair packed up his band (then called Roots) and went to Jamaica for the Sun Splash music festival.
After two weeks the band went home. But Redz stayed, along with his wife, Debra Sullivan, the lead singer known as "Princess." They lived for three more months in the mountains behind Ocho Rios, in Arawak huts, cooking food in tire pits and sleeping in hammocks to protect themselves from scorpions. Redz was the only white man in the jungle, yet the locals respected — and were perhaps baffled by — this alien from California with the red dreads and beautiful black wife living like a Rastaman. He was the Red Mon.
Princess and Redz eventually recorded in Bob Marley's Tuff Gong studio and did session work for other reggae artists as they honed their chops. They returned home with the reggae "riddim," and formed their own band, The Rebel Rockers. The ska and punk scenes were nascent, but the Rebels brought that solid, heavy reggae sound that was so fresh.
"We took music based in the foundation of loving the Earth and true liberation for mankind, and adapted it to the surf and rock elements of Southern California," Redz said. "Our connection to the ocean here brought that music into our hearts, and we recreated a real version of that music."
The Rebels were California's first reggae band — and a sensation. They toured the world, with their unique hybrid sound of California and Jamaica. The Rebels spawned an eco-system of world-class reggae players, and they're still here and playing nightly. Back in the day, high schoolers like Nick Hernandez and Ron Pringle lined up — well, snuck into the bars — to soak them up. They went on to found Common Sense and World Anthem.
Trinidadian Jelani Jones is a balladeer extraordinaire and a keyboard fixture in many bands, singing the most luscious backing harmonies, along with Rock Dietrich, an in-demand studio and touring drummer and multi-percussionist. They could both front bands with their vocals, but choose instead to sing the sweetest backup harmonies in service of the band.
Belizean singer Massive McGregor is fluent in reggae, reggaeton and dance hall, and he ratchets up the energy of the band any time he shows up. Local guitarists Bob Hawkins, Ed Krebs and Billy Sherman are all versatile players, with the sweetest of licks.
Athletes get lauded for playing a decade. These guys have been doing it for three, with no off-season. They play some of the fattest reggae on the planet, with rich four-part harmonies, awesome lead vocals and driving rhythm sections. And they play often. Nick Hernandez is constantly performing in one of his bands, World Anthem's played Thursday nights at the Sandpiper for 18 years (that's nearing 1,000 shows, folks).
Plus, we also have the equally durable Missiles of October, Latin guitar virtuoso Kenny Garcia, and the incomparable singer/songwriter Jason Feddy, who deserves to be famous — and rich. There are many more too numerous to list. We should support them as the treasures they are to this community.
We have an Arts Commission administering city funds to support our artists, but most of the funding goes to the fine arts. How about a budget for a Music Committee that puts on public festivals so we can see more of our gifted players? It would be every bit the tourist draw as our art festivals, and these guys deserve our recognition and support.
BILLY FRIED is the chief paddling officer of La Vida Laguna.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get to MCI?
See our driving directions.
How do I access the offprints and reprints?
Contact the Technical Information Office… after searching BCIN.
Are there any job openings?
Please check at the Smithsonian Institution Career Center at http://www.sihr.si.edu/ or at the US Federal Government site USAJOBS at http://www.usajobs.opm.gov/ for current listings. For recently closed job offerings, please go to Past Jobs.
Will my internship be considered?
Placement depends upon the availability of a project or a match between the applicant's interest and an ongoing project. There may be project-specific opportunities from time to time. Contact OFG for more information…
What is the difference between an internship and a fellowship?
An internship is a prearranged highly structured learning experience that takes place within a specific time frame for a minimum of 20 hours per week. Interns are usually undergraduate students or recent graduates who receive practical experience under the supervision of an MCI scientist or conservator or an MCI Research Affiliate. An internship is characterized by its instructional or tutorial character. All interns perform work directly under a supervisor who encourages the intern to analyze and reflect on the work and to use the internship to help accomplish his/her academic and professional goals. No independent research should be conducted during the tenure of an internship.
In contrast, fellows carry out their own project with a Staff Scientist or Conservator as their advisor. Fellowships are offered to support independently conceived and designed research by a person at an advanced academic level working with Smithsonian staff members and making use of Smithsonian facilities and other resources. Fellowships are awarded for the primary educational benefit of the fellowship recipient, based on the merit of the scholarly research. The candidate must have a MCI advisor from among the research staff members for guidance, assistance, and consultation during his/her residence at the Smithsonian.
