LONDON — Patrick Stobbs recently sat in a conference room here playing songs from his smartphone, attempting to show how his start-up, Jukedeck, is at the cutting edge of music. The tune sounded like the soundtrack to a 1980s video game. "This is where we were two years ago," he said, looking slightly embarrassed.
"And this is where we are now," he continued. He then played a gentle piano piece. Its melody was simple, and it was unsubtle in its melancholy, but there was no denying that it could work as background music for, say, a health insurance commercial.
Mr. Stobbs didn't write the music himself, nor did he commission it from a composer. Jukedeck is one of a growing number of companies using artificial intelligence to compose music. Their computers tap tools like artificial neural networks, modeled on the brain, that allow the machines to learn by doing, rather as a child does. So far, at least, these businesses do not seem to be causing much anxiety among musicians.
"We see our system as still in its infancy; it's only learnt a certain amount about music," Mr. Stobbs said, although he quickly hinted how he hoped Jukedeck's music could advance: "There's no rule of physics that says computers can't get as good as a human."
Having machines write music is not new. In the 1950s, the composer Lejaren Hiller used a computer to produce the "Illiac" Suite for string quartet, the first computer-generated score.
Since then, countless researchers have pushed that work forward. But several start-ups are now trying to commercialize A.I. music for everything from jingles to potential pop hits. Jukedeck, for instance, is looking to sell tracks to anyone who needs background music for videos, games or commercials. The company charges large businesses just $21.99 to use a track, a fraction of what hiring a musician would cost. Mr. Stobbs wouldn't reveal how many tracks it has sold, but said that the British division of Coca-Cola pays for a monthly subscription.
Tech giants are also involved. In June, Google Brain announced Magenta, a project that aims to have computers produce "compelling and artistic" music, filled with surprises. Its efforts so far do not quite fit the bill.
In September, DeepMind, the Google-owned British artificial intelligence company, also released results of an experiment it undertook for fun. DeepMind put samples of piano music into its WaveNet system, used to generate audio, such as speech. The system, which was not told anything about how music worked, used the initial audio to synthesize 10-second clips that sound like avant-garde jazz. IBM also has a research project called Watson Beat, which musicians will be able to use to transform their work's style, making songs sound Middle Eastern, for example, or "spooky."
Jukedeck's beginnings are somewhat surprising for a tech company. Mr. Stobbs and the composer Ed Newton-Rex, both 29, founded it in 2012. They had been choristers at King's College School in Cambridge, England, and Mr. Newton-Rex went on to study music at the University of Cambridge, where he first learned that artificial intelligence could compose. After graduating from Cambridge, the pair set up a choral boy band ("a terrible idea," Mr. Stobbs said), and had aspirations to run a record label. But in 2010, Mr. Newton-Rex attended a computer science lecture at Harvard, where his girlfriend was studying. The lecturer made coding sound relatively straightforward, and also made Mr. Newton-Rex recall his earlier studies in A.I. music. He decided to put the two together, and he set about building Jukedeck on the flight home.
Jukedeck's system involves feeding hundreds of scores into its artificial neural networks, which then analyze them so they can work out things like the probability of one musical note's following another, or how chords progress. The networks can eventually produce compositions in a similar style, which are then turned into audio, using an automated production program. It has different networks for different styles, from folk to "corporate" — something that sounds like the glossy electronica typically played at business conferences. The company only recently started experimenting with the artificial neural networks for the audio output as well as the composition. This should make tracks sound more natural and varied — more human, in other words.
Other companies working on A.I. music tend to involve musicians more directly in the process. The Sony Computer Science Laboratory in Paris, for example, considers musicians essential to its Flow Machines project, which has received funding from the European Research Council.
The idea behind the project is to get computers to write pop hits, said François Pachet, the laboratory's director. "Most people working on A.I. have focused on classical music, but I've always been convinced that composing a short, catchy melody is probably the most difficult task," he said.
He added: "A compelling song is actually a rare and fragile object. It can only work if all the dimensions are right: the melody, the harmony, the voice, the dress of the singer, the discourse around it — like, 'Why did you write this song?' No one is able to model all that right now, and I'm interested in that problem."
Flow Machines' main system is a composing tool that works similarly to Jukedeck's: by getting a computer to analyze scores — everything from Beatles' songs to dance hits — so that it can learn from them and write its own. However, its output is then given to musicians, who are free to use it, change it or throw it away as they like, at no charge. (Negotiations are underway regarding contractual obligations if record labels release any of this music.) Musicians give "a sense of agency," Mr. Pachet said. "The systems don't know why they want to make music. They don't have any goal, any desire."
Around 20 acts have already used the system, Mr. Pachet said, some performing the songs they wrote using it at a recent concert. He is in talks with some well-known groups, like the indie band Phoenix, to try it, he added, and several albums will be released this year.
Musicians appear to enjoy it. "I could never have written a song like the one I did without it," said Mathieu Peudupin, a French rock musician who goes by the name Lescop. "It drove me to a place I would never have gone myself." He said it was like working with a bandmate, although he ignored most of its suggestions. "But what singer in the world listens to his bandmates?" he said, laughing.
Mr. Pachet and Lescop both said they did not think listeners would ever entirely accept computer-generated music. "Music fans need to fall in love with musicians," Lescop said. "You can't fall in love with a computer."
But the founders of Jukedeck are less certain.
Mr. Newton-Rex sees artificial intelligence changing the way we listen, especially if computers eventually "understand music enough to make it respond in real time to, let's say, a game, or you going for a run," he said. "Recorded music's brilliant, but it's static. If you're playing a game, Hans Zimmer isn't sitting with you composing. I think responsive systems like that will be a big part of the music of the future."

When two incompatible forces as different as chalk and cheese ganged up against a common enemy it wasn't either faith and trust or the urge and the need to bring happiness and security to the people at large, that influenced them to come together. It was sheer revenge coupled with greed and ambition as well as survival that forced them to join each other. There was no concern about the future well-being of the country and its people.
The general public who powered them too were overwhelmed by the false scenario created by these two divisive forces.They were talking about a Change—a change for the better! The promises and the accusations they presented though were not convincing and proven,created a false sense of hope for a better and a secure future, in the minds of the gullible voters of Sri Lanka.
But alas! after a three-year period of nonsensical happenings their hopes and the trust were shattered and the Big Change they expected fell flat and in addition the rottenness of this Union was irrevocably revealed with the record-breaking Bond Scam. With the insult and the injury they received from this unearthly crime not only shattered all their dreams for the future but also lost all the faith and trust they had in the unbecoming union.The result was anger with a capital A and the unequal urge to change the Change.
The people clearly and decisively showed their Anger at the much delayed and stage-managed mini polls. The result was a significant no faith motion against the infamouse Union—the Union that sold the valuable assets of this Gem of the Indian Ocean, for a song to the exploitative neo colonists who were responsible for the present state of chaos.
Who should be responsible for this disastrous state of affairs?
Who was the main director or shall we say the culprit of this devastating episode that has ruined the lives of all citizens including the very supporters of this unstable ruling stock?
When the general public lose faith in the ruling worthies obviously the leader of the pack or shall we say the so called guide with full of unworkable and Utopian ideas should accept the blame and be responsible for the present chaotic situation.In other words the public who recently cast the vote against the divisive ruling clan also passed a no faith motion against its leader too.
As the public had rejected his failing leadership what is the big idea in having a separate no faith motion presented by a selected few? How is it that the result of this useless no faith motion can be considered as a "world shattering" victory?
The so called win was marked with great rejoicement and much revelry by his own lackeys,as it came about after so many defeats and failures.
Any how as the general public had given a resounding defeat to this Utopian leader,the best and most appropiate action he can initiate is to leave the arena he had been misusing for decades, for sake of the well being of his political party as well as the country and also give the general public the much awaited opportunity to yell GROBR (Good Riddance of Bad Rubbish)!

So Michelle Kwan has withdrawn from the Olympics. You knew that was going to happen -- after that fall yesterday in practice. It's hard to give up after all these years, hard never to get what it has seemed so long was your entitlement. But to petition your way onto the team and get the slot that was Emily's -- that was not the prettiest form of entitlement. And to occupy that slot when you aren't ready to use it, that's an awful way to end your career. So you've done the right thing -- probably the only thing you could do -- and withdrawn.
[Emily] Hughes, 17, was contacted immediately at her home. She is the younger sister of 2002 Olympic gold medalist Sarah Hughes. She will join Sasha Cohen and Kimmie Meissner on the United States team.Aw, she's only 17. She doesn't have to lie any better than that! Go, little sister Emily!
Cohen said graciously that she was disappointed for Kwan.
"I was a little bit shocked," she said of hearing about the withdrawal. "I know how tough it is to come back from an injury. It's great that she tried and I'm sorry that it didn't work out."
CORRECTION: I mistakenly read that last quote as being from Hughes, but it's Cohen's. So the cute lie comment is all wrong. Sorry.

Baby Showers at a Distance- 2 Sisters Gift Baskets
Baby Showers at a Distance
Baby showers are traditionally ladies only, lots of food, lots of gifts and really silly games. In the new millennium though we're shaking things up a bit. We've seen couples showers, green showers, the gender reveal baby shower, and diaper derbies for dads. It's hard to keep up with all the "trends." I think that trends don't matter as much as having your heart in the right place.
With friends and family spread all over the map it's often difficult to get everyone in the same room for a baby shower. One idea is to have a "virtual" baby shower from a distance. If you're the hostess you can have everyone bring the gifts to you and be responsible for shipping them all at once to the mommy to be. On the day of the shower set up a webcam and use Skype so everyone can watch as she opens the presents.
You could also arrange to have the gifts shipped in staggered intervals so she gets a gift a day and then have everyone over for the games and food, again using a webcam so everyone can join in. (Don't forget to arrange cake and food for the future mommy!)
If it's a second or third child usually the mom has things she's saved from babies past so perhaps a diaper and formula shower is the way to go. Don't forget the siblings who might be feeling a bit displaced by a new arrival. If they are old enough to be included give them special "jobs" the day of the shower. If they're still young perhaps a special gift for them would be a nice gesture.
In any case, remember a baby shower is to help the new mom and dad get a leg up on outfitting their nursery. Be sure you tailor your party to what the expectant couple needs.

Low emission transport will receive a record boost totalling more than $11 million, Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods announced today.
"Today I'm announcing the largest round of new funding from the Government's Low Emission Vehicles Contestable Fund yet.
"Thirty one exciting new low emissions transport projects will share over $11 million of funding to help more Kiwis make use of new transport technology."
This funding is made up of $4.3 million of government co-funding and $7.3 million of funds from the private sector.
"That's a smart investment that means the maximum benefit for the taxpayers spend.
"This round of funding focuses on innovative projects that expand the use and possibilities of electric vehicles and other low emissions technology in the transport space.
"It's about making new technology available to help Kiwis get around, lower our carbon emissions and contribute to our economy.
"From 100 per cent electric campervans for tourists to hydrogen fuel cell powered buses at the Ports of Auckland to solar panel charged electric vehicles and trial of smart chargers in people's homes, we're backing new technologies that will make a difference.
"We're also funding a further 34 new public charging spaces for electric vehicles right around New Zealand, including several at South Island tourism hot-spots. This is about creating a truly national infrastructure of EV charging so that all major trips around our country are available to EV users.
"This is by far the biggest round of new projects delivered by the Fund. Each previous round has given the green light to between 14 and 18 projects. In total, the fund has committed $17.2 million in government funding to 93 projects. This is matched by over $45 million applicant funding.
"Transport is responsible for about 18 per cent of New Zealand's total greenhouse gas emissions, so one of the most effective ways for us to help tackle climate change is to transition our fossil-fuelled transport fleet to run on clean, renewable energy sources.
"By helping to roll out that technology to more people than ever, today's announcement helps more Kiwis cut their transport emissions."

ALBANY, March 30 - The chairman of the state Republican Party expressed concern about the "discipline and focus" of Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg's re-election effort on Wednesday, citing Mr. Bloomberg's recent kind words for the party's bête noire, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton.
The Republican chairman, Stephen Minarik, said in an interview that he was not happy with Mr. Bloomberg's suggestion Monday night that he might endorse Mrs. Clinton's expected re-election campaign in 2006. Mr. Minarik said he was concerned that the mayor's comment on someone as divisive as Mrs. Clinton showed a lack of disciplined adherence to his political message promoting his record, which Mr. Minarik praised.
"I'm not going to say I was happy about it," Mr. Minarik said in an interview on Wednesday, when asked about the mayor's remark. "I was not happy. The mayor needs to show more discipline and focus and run squarely on his own record, which is strong."
"All successful candidates need party discipline, so I was disappointed that the mayor decided to make that statement," Mr. Minarik added.
Edward Skyler, a spokesman for the mayor, rejected the idea that Mr. Bloomberg was anything but disciplined and focused.
"If you ask the mayor a question, you'll get a straight answer," Mr. Skyler said. "People shouldn't read too much into a potential endorsement in a race where no one knows who's running yet."
Mr. Skyler declined to predict whether Mr. Bloomberg might endorse Mrs. Clinton, who has not formally announced for re-election but said she plans to run.
The G.O.P. chairman's reaction underscored a looming electoral challenge for Mr. Bloomberg: wooing new Republican supporters and keeping conservatives while praising Democrats like Mrs. Clinton.
A former Democrat himself, who registered as a Republican to seek office in 2001, Mr. Bloomberg is running in a city where Democrats have a roughly five-to-one advantage in voter registration, and his political standing is delicate enough that he often straddles party lines, endorsing both President Bush and Senator Charles E. Schumer, a Democrat, for re-election in 2004.
"The mayor has made no bones about not being a true Republican, and in fact has referred to himself as a liberal," said Douglas A. Muzzio, a professor of public affairs at Baruch College. "Minarik is pointing out a problem that the mayor could conceivably face -- holding onto Republicans in Staten Island, in parts of Queens, and support from Giuliani Democrats."
In an interview on NY1 News Monday night, Mr. Bloomberg was asked if he might endorse Senator Clinton, akin to his support for Mr. Schumer last year. The mayor would not rule out the possibility, saying both senators "have worked very hard and very effectively for New York City and the state." He added, "Party lines aren't anywhere's near as important to me as my responsibility to do what's right for the public."
The remark drew criticism on Tuesday from Thomas V. Ognibene, a Republican challenger to Mr. Bloomberg. Mr. Ognibene also called on Mr. Minarik to resign as party chairman for supporting a mayor who might endorse Mrs. Clinton. Mr. Minarik said in the interview that he had no intention of resigning.
Mr. Minarik said that falling crime rates, lower unemployment and education gains amounted to a "stellar record of achievement" and endorsed Mr. Bloomberg as a "smart and tough decisionmaker who deserves re-election."
But the party chairman was mindful of avoiding a Republican rift, as when former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York crossed party lines to endorse Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, a Democrat, in his 1994 race against George E. Pataki, who won.
Mr. Minarik is also seeking a challenger to Mrs. Clinton.

Victor Spinetti, a Welsh actor who appeared in all three Beatles films – A Hard Day's Night (1964), Help! (1965) and Magical Mystery Tour (1967) – and was a longtime friend of members of the rock group, died of cancer in London on June 19 at age 82.
He also appeared in dozens of other films, stage productions, and TV shows, including such British sitcoms as Two in Clover, Take My Wife, Kelly Monteith and An Actor's Life for Me.
The Beatles first met Spinetti in 1963 after John Lennon and George Harrison became fans while watching him on the West End in Oh, What a Lovely War!, a stage satire about World War I, in 1963. (Spinetti won a Tony award for his performance in the show when it ran on Broadway.)
The two band members invited Spinetti to appear with them in A Hard Day's Night, in which he played an easily frustrated TV director who's overseeing a telecast of a Beatles concert.
Earlier in the year, Spinetti had starred in a hit British movie called The Wild Affair (1963). He often recounted that Harrison told him, "You've got to be in our film. Otherwise my Mum won't come see it because she only fancies you."
In addition to the Beatles films, he and Lennon collaborated on In His Own Write, a 1968 stage adaptation of Lennon's 1964 autobiographical collection of essays and poems. The play was produced the National Theatre in London with Spinetti serving as director.
In 2006, Spinetti published his own memoirs, Up Front. In the book, he recalled stories of growing up with an Italian father in Wales as well as his friendship and professional adventures with the Beatles. He also wrote about his encounters with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, Laurence Olivier (who asked about the Beatles), Princess Margaret, and various other famous figures.
In his later years, Spinetti was happy to discuss the Beatles. At fan conventions, he would speak and answer questions about the Fab Four. Here, he gives a long-winded but amusing answer to how knowing the Beatles affected his life:

Synthesis ExamplesThis page contains a few synthesis examples generated by the vocal tract model implemented in VocalTractLab.
Some utterances, synthesized with an older version of the software, are the following movies:
"Guten Tag liebe Zuhörer." ("Good afternoon, dear listeners.")
"Nächster Halt: Hamburg." ("Next stop: Hamburg.")
"Der Zug hat eine Stunde Verspätung." ("The train has a delay of one hour.")
The following examples demonstrate the synthesis of fricatives using VocalTractLab. We developed a fricative noise model that predicts the postion, strength and spectral shape of monopole and dipole noise sources in the vocal tract from the properties of the area functions and flow conditions. In each of the following wav-files you will first hear a natural fricative in isolation, then the corresponding synthetic fricative in isolation and finally the synthetic fricative in a symmetric /a:/-context.
- /f/ as in "fine"
- /s/ as in "see"
- /c/ as in the German word "ich"
- /sh/ as in "shoe"
- /x/ as in the German word "Achtung"
For the opening ceremony of the annual meeting of the DGPP 2010, the following music video was created by Peter Birkholz using VocalTractLab. The song is based on the well-known "Canon in D" by Pachelbel (1653-1706) with customized Latin lyrics. The instrumental accompaniment was created using the software FRINIKA. Please watch the video here!.

AH shit!
Friday night at Cinespace Robtronik presents the 4-Year Anniversary of Compression, featuring Claude VonStroke and the Dirtybird crew from San Francisco etc. including Christian Martin, Justin Martin, Voodeux (AKA KiloWatts & Tanner Ross) and Monty Luke. Also on hand are Compression deejays Andre Ezer and Matt Xavier, and expect a big crowd as this is VonStroke's LA Album Release Party for his second album, Bird Brain, and a stop on his world tour as well.
Dirtybird is pretty much a synonym for BANGIN' and I am really excited to hear Claude VonStroke again; at Symbiosis this TITAN of West Coast Sound was shaking the trees from their roots to their leaves and every single face on his dance floor had a stupid, beat-eating smile plastered across it. He works the dance floor like a tool, bending and working it like Superman with a bar of metal, expelling shrieks and screams and hands in the air. Oh I am excited! His Myspace profile lists ghettotech in addition to house and techno and dear GOD, let's hope he dips into the dirty for a least a couple of tracks. Also posted are influences: YOUR MOM and sounds like: CHICKEN.
All the elements are coming together for this one, including Funktion One sound, two rooms, 21+, 9:30-4AM, and you can RSVP for reduced entry right here.

Memorial weekend always reminds me of my grandparents and their red Dodge truck filled to capacity with multi-colored mums. I am the sixth generation raised in my small town, so you can bet there are a lot of people to remember on Memorial Day. This one is a little sad for me because it is the first one without any of my grandparents alive. My memories of them are sweet and I cherish every picture I have with them. It reminds me why I do what I do, I take pictures to remember the important people and times of our lives.
My Grammy passed away almost a year ago. She gave me her style and love for shoes and she was always looking for a deal, so in her honor, this week we are having a sale:

This past weekend my husband and I decided to drive to Magee Marsh in Ohio to take photographs of birds. Located on the southern side of Lake Erie, this is where North American Warblers gather during their spring migration, making it a prime spot for both bird enthusiasts and photographers. People travel from all over the United States and other parts of the world to visit during the prime migration time, which is the last weekend of April thru Mid May. A birding festival is held during the highest point of migration. We visited after the festival had ended, but there were still a large number of bird watchers and photographers visiting and we were able to enjoy both the sound of the birds "singing" and the ability to capture them on camera from various points along the boardwalk.
Although the boardwalk is only about a mile long, Ron and I spent approximately six hours making the walk. In addition to the birds there are also other items of photographic interest, as this is a nature preserve and nature holds its own beauty. There are two distinct differences between the photographers and the bird watchers. Photographers are obviously carrying cameras, often with huge lenses and on tripods. Their primary focus is to capture hundreds of shots of the birds which they will later sort through, choosing the best and identifying them as they do their photo processing. The bird enthusiast are usually carrying binoculars, bird books and note pads in which they meticulously record the birds as they see them. While you will see some bird watchers with cameras, I don't recall seeing any photographers with binoculars, as your camera and lens serve the same purpose. Because bird enthusiasts are used to spotting these small creatures they were a handy resource, a groups of bird watchers with their binoculars all pointed in the same direction
generally meant a good place to direct your camera lens as well.
The Magee Marsh boardwalk is well maintained, with periodic benches where you can rest if needed. There is also a raised viewing platform and other side trails you can take for additional viewing. The birds are frequently quite close to the boardwalk, so even with a small camera lens or point-and-shoot camera you have a good chance of capturing a nice photograph. Camera's click in rapid succession, people scribble notes on their pads of paper, and everyone enjoys the view. Photographers and Birders are friendly, enthusiastic groups of people.
If you haven't been to Magee Marsh and love nature, birds, or photography, this should definitely be on your list of places to visit.

Rex Ryan is never one to shy away from cameras and attention. For evidence, look no further than this summer when the Jets and their boisterous head coach were featured on HBO's "Hard Knocks", which detailed, among other things, Ryan's affinity for snacks.
There's the example earlier this season when he hilariously dressed up as his twin brother, Browns defensive coordinator Rob Ryan, for a press conference the week the two brothers were going to meet on the field.
Last week, Rex Ryan made a point to say how much he badly wanted to beat Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, something not many coaches would do.
Sports Connection
Connecting you to your favorite North Texas sports teams as well as sports news around the globe.
Now, he's at it again, and this time against the NFL coaching version of the Emperor from Star Wars, Bill Belichick.
Belichick, the three-time Super Bowl winner for the Patriots, is as brooding and calculating as they come, and rarely even smiles. He probably didn't even crack a smile when Rex stuffed a huge pillow in his shirt and wore a ridiculous wig with Browns gear while impersonating his brother. I did. It was funny.
Now, Rex Ryan is making Sunday's game against Belichick personal.
This is going to be about me raising my level against Bill Belichick. I recognize he's the best and all that, but I'm just trying to be the best on Sunday. I plan on being the best coach on Sunday."
Entering the season, based partly on the publicity from "Hard Knocks" which seems to make people think whichever team it features is a Super Bowl contender, the Jets were supposed to be the favorites out of the top-heavy AFC East.
Ryan even went as far this past week as to say that no quarterback in the NFL studies as much as Manning, not even New England QB Tom Brady, who "receives more help from his coach than Brady."
That's one guy you don't want to upset, especially after what he did in the teams' last meeting back on Dec. 6 in Foxboro, Mass., when Brady went 21-of-29 for 326 yards and four touchdowns in a 45-3 hammering of the Jets.
Our buddy Rex better hope for different results on Sunday.

Last week's census data documented that poverty is growing and the national median income is declining. 22% of US children live in poverty, while social security keeps the poverty rate for senior citizens to 9%.
While poverty grows, America is home now to 10 million millionaires or 3% of the 309 million population. These are individuals with net worth of 1 million dollars or more.
The millionaire population is projected to grow rapidly over the next 10 years. CNBC reports today that Deloitte Financial Services believes that America will be home to 20 million millionaires by 2020. If so, given projected population growth, more than 5% of Americans will be across the million dollar threshold.
CNBC also reports that 20% believe that they could become millionaires. The health of stock and real estate markets will have a lot to say about whether those dreams and hopes are achieved.

I am working at doing this. Not providing him with money just my love. Before he leaves he will quick give me a hug and i hold tight and say a quick prayer for his safety and recovery. So hard just want to sometimes see if i hold him tight enough it will squeeze the young man that is my son back out and make the disease go away. I am trying just love him soReplyDeleteReplies
It is so hard to have them so close but yet so far away. We try so hard to get through to them. When my son said that to me the other day, it warmed my heart. I knew that other parents needed to hear it as well. We need hope! Our children need love because they exist in a really dark place with a lot of negativity. We have the power to show them that there is a better way and that they are wonderful human beings who are sick. We do that with our love. I pray that your son finds recovery. God bless you all.Delete

Let's take a trip out west in Sydney for this post. Well, really, I commute out west five a days, so this wasn't anything special. But there are some special places in Parramatta that we haven't blogged out. As the up and coming secondary CBD of metropolitan Sydney, Parramatta is increasingly trafficked by office workers looking for their coffee hit or a bit of lunch.
Let's go to the breakfast stop:
Three Ropes Expresso
- Web: https://www.facebook.com/ThreeRopesEspresso and http://www.threeropes.com.au/
- Address: 10a, Darcy Street, Parramatta (very close to the train station, not on the side of Westfield)
- Open: M – F (7 – 3pm)
- Seating: not that much, a lot outdoor in the alley, so best when it doesn't rain
Three Ropes Expresso (TRE) has made great use of what is otherwise a rather dodgy alleyway that leads towards Parramatta Library and Town Hall.
It's amazing what a fresh coat of paint can do – and they've really glammed it up here with some cool street art with crate type chairs/tables next to their coffee bar.
We get there at 9am before D2D has a meeting and there's quite a few people enjoying their morning coffee or paper out in the open. This guy in red was giving us a few weird looks because we were taking photos, lol.
Here they serve food and coffees. They've got things like cookies and cakes etc, as well as some hot food. The foods are written on brown sandwich bags stuck on the top there.
D2D orders a coffee and gozleme for breakfast. I grab a bite or two even though I've had breakfast already and it's quite good – not too oily. They do both takeaway and eat in (or out) for foods.
Next stop, we have lunch at:
Circa Expresso
- Web: http://circaespresso.com.au/
- Address: 21 Wentworth Street, Parramatta
- Open: M-F (7 – 4pm), Sat (8-3pm) – note, kitchen closes at 2pm all days
On the other side of the tracks (the Westfield side) and next to an Indonesian restaurant called Pondok is a garage style cafe called Circa Expresso. It is run by the same guys as Three Ropes Expresso.
And yes, it's basically a garage that goes far back inside!
You can see some more street art on the wall, plus a guy waiting outside. We've come at around 12.30pm and because of the slight rain, the outdoor seats are wet. So there's a 5-10 min wait for a table for two.
As you can see, Circa Expresso is a specialty tea and coffee cafe. They have a lot of coffee and tea apparatus.
We get seated and given table water and menus quickly. There's a nice flower and tin of sugar on the table already.
I think 'garage' is a good way to explain this place, because that is how it's decked out. There's a random assortment of things decorating the walls and ceiling – kind of like what you would find in someone's garage of collected junk or at a garage sale.
The kitchen is in, and further behind that are even more tables/seats!
After a while our food arrives:
D2D's salmon dish looks a bit small in this picture but it was actually a regular size. I'm not sure if he was satisfied though, because he was very happy to help me eat half my sandwich, which was really big!
Apple slaw is very yummy! The sourdough was a big hard and with such a large filling for the sandwich, I knew, before I even took a bite, that I would struggle to eat this neatly or finish it.
This was really yummy! But you have stir it and break the ice cream down a bit.
D2D's iced mocha was "good". It's served in a cocktail type glas
On the way out to pay (best to pay at the counter), there's a tray of pastries. Yum!
It's refreshing to find more places like this in Parramatta, hidden in alleys and corners, despite there being a massive Westfield in the place.
I think the owners of both places have certainly found a good market here in Parramatta, rather than opening yet another hipster cafe in Surry Hills.
What else is around?
- Sweet Street Bakery – great pies and other pastries
- Lots of other restaurants along Church Street – Thai and Italian cuisines
- Parramatta Park – lots of grass and tracks for cycling and running

Here's a long edit of Circus Geeks' scratch performance at Marine Theatre, Lyme Regis last week. It's still on-script and with a way to go yet, but I'm really excited about how it's shaping up.
It will premiere at Glastonbury- who have just announced this year's line-up. Although I thought I may never leave the relative calm of the Circus Field (I am by no means a festival goer!), I may be tempted out by Jurassic 5 and Elbow.
Once more, huge thanks to Marine Theatre for the use of the space, and thanks also to the very kind volunteers who housed Arron and Poppy for the week. Without your help, Arron would be collecting yet more Yo-Yos, but would have no show(-shows).

Ok, so enough with the acronyms.....
I am back and will be blogging more often again. So for those who still lurked around, tell the others that the Howard Stern of Genomics is back. I took a social networking holiday for a solid 2 months, plus the addition of having my practice change quite a bit after my USA Today and follow ups in the local papers.....
Today I want to announce that Coriell Personalized Medicine Collaborative and Ohio State University will be using data from an arm of the CPMC and OSU to integrate genetic risk data into the medical record.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't know of anyone else doing this exact same thing.
Ideally they will also continue to roll things in like PGx data. (I know this data will be coming soon)
By integrating things like Plavix response, you can make more gametime decisions easily.
I.E. Patient presents to the ED with a heart attack. Armed with prior knowledge about plavix nonresponder, you pick Effient.
What is so awesome about this arm is that Primary Care Physicians, Cardiologists AND patients will be participating and receiving results.....
They will be studying the behavior and knowledge of participants in the study, we have seen other data on this sort of thing, I wonder if we will see the same thing here.
For risk data? Probably. For PGx Data? Probably not.
Why? A plavix response in the medical record is a game changer.
3 Reasons
1. The clinician will be hit in the face with a "Plavix doesn't work here"
2. The physician may even find they are a nonresponder
3. There has got to be some hustling attorney out there, who will be lurking once they see the CPMC/OSU release. I am certain at least the physicians will be thinking so.....
You can read the Presser Here
The Sherpa Says: Study of clinical use and behaviors will be key to know how vital this data is and thus how tightly we should regulate its use in medical records i.e. 23andMe clinical BRCA testing! P.S. Like our new crest?

I have heard plenty of trash talk about the resolution of large camera lenses over the past few years. I have also heard that one should never close all the way down.
Well, I've just done the test for myself and I say its not true - at least for me - in the least. I pointed the camera out my front door and closed it down to f64. (I love depth of field.)
Now maybe some others want more sharpness than this example, but I am perfectly satisfied.... It's straight off the scanner, with no sharpening at all....
Saving for web made it way darker than I am going to print it, but take a look, and judge for yourself. I know I'm going to use f45 and f64 any time I want from now on, without fear that I'm losing something.

89 MJ long bed(119" wheelbase with a 88"(7.3') bed), back halved and bobbed to make it a 5' box and 109" wb. Cage in the bed, with an exo'd cab. I will be running Hannemann fiberglass pre runner fenders and rear blisters for the increased tire clearance and tire coverage.
Electrically I plan on ripping out everything that isn't absolutely needed, strip it down to charging/starting, lighting/gages, stereo, and a few other odds and ends, no need for any emissions/fuel system since I will be running on propane. Charging/starting and lighting wiring harnesses are going to get beefed up, found 1 gage battery cables at work the other day that will do nicely for the charging/starting system.
Thats a pretty solid set up you have going there. I cant wait to see it all in a jeep.
I'll be watching this....[pulls up a chair]
I'm still trying to decide what color I want to paint it, but right now the front runner is:
Grabber Blue:
Solid color, so it's easy to paint, and can be sprayed as a single stage paint, making it cheep and easy to touch up. I also think the color itself will hide a lot of little scratches and what not thats bound to happen wheeling it.
So what is the deal with the Ballistic Fab steering klt? I have never seen or heard of anybody using one, and I'm interested. Pros,cons,etc.
It's a do-it-yourself kit, you measure it, cut it, then weld it yourself. Mostly used for custom applications, where someone has done an axle swap, and off the shelf steering like Currie will not work.
hey....found this in the classifieds - if you're still looking for stroker parts.
:drool::drool::drool:Grabber blue
Can't wait to see what you put the parts into.
Here is what I'm thinking long and hard about, the MJ I picked up needs a lot more work to the engine than I had originally thought. Namely engine work, like a really good candidate for a new engine. I don't like the transmission, or the rear axle. And I've been playing with the idea of a 4WD conversion. So I am basically looking at an entire drive train swap.
I really didn't want to swap the above drivetrain into the MJ, 120" wheelbase was just too long, and I hadn't seen a clean large tire MJ build that looked right to me, until I saw the Zone Offroad MJ that they built for the Ultimate Adventure.
I agree on the wheelbase issue. Unless you are running 42"+ tires 120" wheelbase is unneeded IMO. It'd be a ballin mj though.
It's clean, fairly low(atleast by XJ/MJ standards), and it makes those 40"s look a lot smaller than they are. I like the look and function of the Baja/Jeepspeed fenders and bedsides(like hi-lines for XJ/MJs), but I'm still uneasy about fiberglass in the trails so I'm looking into Dzus fittings for an easy quick release set up for when I need to "get skinny" on the trail.
So I already said 120" is too long, so my next option is shorten the wheelbase, so I'm cutting the bed down just over 27" over all, and back-halving the frame to match, which is going to put me at about 107" WB. Still a little on the long side but a lot more manageable. With the mild front stretch I will get from the axle brackets I'm going with, it should put me at about 109". I'm still not sure how much lift just yet, I had plans of 5.5" and 37"s with the XJ, and have no plans of going any higher than that, but no lower than 4.5".

The number of total juvenile arrests in Pennsylvania has steadily declined over the years. In 2006, 8,574.4 juvenile arrests took place out of every 100,000 individuals between the ages of 10 and 17. By 2014, the rate was only at 4,883.5.
Many parents hope they never have to deal with their children going into the criminal justice system. Part of these worries come down to misconceptions many people hold about juvenile crimes. It is vital to separate fact from fiction so that parents can take the best action for their kids.
Myth #1: Records become sealed upon a child's 18th birthday
A criminal record can follow people for the rest of their lives. This can influence the ease of obtaining housing or getting a job. Many parents wrongly assume that a child's criminal history becomes automatically expunged on the kid's 18th birthday. However, that is not actually the case. The family needs to pursue an expungement by filing a motion with the court. The success of an expungement comes down to how long ago the crime occurred and what crime it was.
Myth #2: Only bad kids end up in the criminal system
All parents want to think their children are ultimately good. A child may receive good grades and may not be prone to any self-destructive behavior. However, children from all backgrounds end up in the criminal system. Touching another child without permission or bullying other kids online can result in criminal charges. It only takes one misstep for a child to end up with a record.
Myth #3: Juvenile charges come with hefty punishments
Punishments ultimately depend on the exact crime committed. However, the punishments for a juvenile trial may not always be the same as for adults. While there are certainly no guarantees, judges may grant leniency on kids under the age of 18. Common punishments for youths include mandatory curfews, fines, community service or probation. Parents can help keep their kids out of a cell by ensuring an experienced attorney is by their child's side.

Not always does a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast help you get your shit together and get on with your day.
OK, ok! Easy. I'll just speak for myself then.
In my defense, it doesn't help that my TASK BOARD still says it's Saturday, while at the same time, I've been convinced since last night that today is Friday (the day I'm taking Jason on a date to a secret location). Meanwhile, a strange man with a nice, deep voice says to me on the radio that today is Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Hmmm.
My reality today is convoluted to such an extent that I bounce from one place to another with a heavy chip on my shoulder. I know I should be writing now, but the very thought of it makes me spin 180 degrees on my bare heels and go sweep the neighbor's stoop. Next, I focus on my hands as they scream for attention, and suddenly I find myself performing a home manicure – a task I normally dread like the chicken pox. Once the bright red polish is splashed all over my nails, it's the silence in the room that gets me at last.
I fan my froggy fingers out over the keyboard of my computer, open iTunes and break out the jams. It's not until The Last Shadow Puppets begin to play that I decide it's time to turn the volume UP, prepare my stage, move the chair out of the range of my high-kick, place Cosmo on the balcony of our bed and GET MY GROOVE ON. While the music blasts from the speakers, I jump and throw my hands in the air, stretch in all directions, bounce my shoulders, bend to the sides, thrash my hips back and forth, and give the "dance" MY ESSENCE. Gasping for air, I look at Cosmo, and a bright smile wraps it's way around my glossy face like a red bow on a Christmas gift. He just yawns at me with mere disapproval: "Mother, REALLY??!"
After being scolded by my very own dog, I curl my tail under my own bottom, shut down the music box, and shuffle my feet to the kitchen hoping to get some LOVE AND UNDERSTANDING from an oozing, chocolate mini-cupcake. One thing leads to another, and within minutes, I'm prepping lunch. On the menu today… an Avocado Turkey Sandwich with a side of a Quinoa Salad. I'm confident after this meal I'll have a work out that would make Michael Phelps crawl out of his pool humiliated and in tears.
Speaking of Sammies, they play an important role in our household, especially since Jason returned to work and I took on the temporary role of "little wifey", which nota bene suits me shockingly well. The part I play entails my rising at dawn along with my beau and tending to his feeding needs. While Jason assures me he's perfectly capable of getting a bowl of cereal in the morning, I won't have such nonsense and proceed to fill his bowl with a cherry picked mix of breakfast grains topped with a rainbow of sliced fruit, all soaked in an ocean of almond milk.
While the boy crunches away, I move on to the next task at hand which consists of assembling his lunch and dexterously fitting the mountain of food into the 2 compartments of his teeny-weeny lunchbox.
If there are no leftovers from the previous night's dinner (which is the case 3 out of 4 times), I grab from the refrigerator whatever I can hold in my arms and build a Mothership of all Sandwiches. I start with two slices of HEALTHY bread, which unfortunately in many cases tend to taste like old tennis shoes. Particularly the low sodium Ezekiel Bread which is as exciting as a chess match!
Let me pause here for a second. If it wasn't for a pile of SPARKLING NEW jeans that are an entire two (2) sizes smaller than the last pants I bought, I would be slathering both sides of ciabatta bread with mayonnaise and topping it with 1-inch thick chunks of chicken, beefy slices of mozzarella, tomato and a basil leaf. I have wet dreams about Italian breads, rustic French baguettes and country rolls. In fact, I'm drooling a little bit right now with nothing more than the mere image of them!
How do I turn that ugly ducking of Ezekiel Bread into Cinderella? I have a trick (or two) that (lucky for you) I've decided to no longer keep to myself.
My secret is to make the sandwich relatively MOIST, but not soggy. Second, you want to keep it versatile and exciting. The sky is the limit when it comes to building a sandwich! Think outside the box. Instead of always going for the good 'ol mayo, use a low-fat version mixed into a coherent cream with a teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Or forget about mayo altogether and spread a little hummus on your bread topped with slices of heirloom tomato and pickles under an umbrella of a few spinach leaves. You can buy a flavored one, or just make your own Hummus. The EDAMAME DIP you just tried this week for the first time will go swimmingly with a few thin slices of low sodium turkey, maybe a little of Monterey Jack and a slice of Tomato, all sprinkled with finely chopped chives and packed between the slices of bread.
Being Polish, I bring my Polish twist to the table, and when the sandwich is for here and not to go I like to keep it open. It's an ideal surface for a tablespoon of cottage cheese, green onions and crunchy Persian cucumbers. That's today. Tomorrow, get yourself a ripe avocado, slice the meat and spread it generously over your bread. Cover with turkey/chicken/ham, and top with thick slices of hard-boiled egg – don't forget to sprinkle it with a dust of salt and pepper. The next day, make a Tuna Salad and use it as filling in your sammy. And if you grew up convinced radishes taste like dirt, here's your chance to bring back the magic and believe in Santa all over again – slice one radish and hide it between the layers of your tuna sandwich. Not only will you have that extra crunch, but also vitamins and minerals you've deprived yourself all your life.
Have you ever tried Mascarpone cheese? It's good not only in a Tomato Sauce for your pasta, or in cakes, but can also serve as a foundation for your – exactly! – next day sandwich. You can cover it with slices of meat, cheese, roasted peppers, onion, cucumber, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce, and fresh herbs (basil, dill, mint, tarragon, etc.) Same thing goes for Pesto. You can have an exciting, delicious sandwich every day at work, and it will never taste the same. Bring a smile back to your SAMMY.
One last thing to keep in mind – do NOT overcrowd the guy. Don't pile up everything under the sun onto your slice of bread. After all, you want to be able to wrap your mouth around that bad boy, don't you?
I could go on, and I'm positive there will be more opportunities to talk sandwiches. Hell, I'll make sure of it. Today's article will at least get you started. It's like opening Pandora's Box of Sandwiches. From now on the ideas will never stop coming. They will flood your mind, your lunchbox, and your kitchen. You'll feel overwhelmed with the creative powers that will suddenly take over and you'll start feeding your coworkers, your neighbors, and even your dog. Each Sammy will be a Gourmet Concert of Wild and Exotic Flavors clasped within the crunchy arms of two slices of toasted bread waiting to be domesticated in your mouth.
Now go and unleash your inner Sandwich Snob. Then tame the beast with your creations. Have fun with it!

We are very proud of the athletes we directly sponsor and delighted with the success they have achieved both nationally and internationally. The level of commitment and determination the athletes display are key factors as they climb each step of the sporting ladder. We look forward to further developing our relationship with SportsAid and expanding the events we run together.
Tim Sansom, Partner, Rayner Essex
Rayner Essex is a chartered accountants and business advisory firm with offices in Central London and St Albans. The firm, established in 1967, aims to provide accountancy and tax solutions and advice in the most no nonsense, practical, transparent way possible. Rayner Essex has eight partners and around 70 staff members of staff. The company's clients range from all fields of business, industry, the professions, arts and the entertainment world.
These clients include large corporate organisations, operating nationally and internationally, privately owned businesses of every size, professional practices, partnerships, sole traders and self-employed individuals. The firm has an extensive knowledge of overseas corporate financial matters and is an active member of INPACT International - a global alliance of independent professional accountants located throughout the world.
Rayner Essex has always had a strong sense of duty to the society and communities it serves. For many years the firm has organised distinctive, fun events for its friends and clients that also help raise funds for worthy causes such as SportsAid. These events include regional lunches, golf days and networking events. The firm's golf days have raised over £50,000 for charities that include the Willow Foundation and Rennie Grove Hospice.
Rayner Essex has been supporting SportsAid for well over a decade by running Lunch Clubs in Bloomsbury and St Albans to raise much-needed funds to help young talented athletes cover critical training and competition costs. The Lunch Clubs often centre around a practical demonstration of an Olympic or Paralympic sport with talks from high-profile sports people.
The Bloomsbury Lunch Club was born in the early 2000's after Camden Council decided to establish a Local Business Development Group. Rayner Essex became one of the founding members and offered to help organise a Camden business lunch gathering. The Council programme did not proceed as envisaged so Rayner Essex decided to run its own event.
The Bloomsbury Lunch Club has raised nearly £50,000 to date and the SportsAid lunches in St Albans, including co-sponsors, has made over £40,000. Triple-jumper Stefan Amokwandoh, 110m hurdler Robert Sakala, 7-a-side Paralympic footballer Emyle Rudder and rowers Lola Anderson and Megan Duthart have all received SportsAid awards thanks to Rayner Essex.
Boxing sensation Caroline Dubois, 17, has been named as the winner of SportsAid's prestigious One-to-Watch Award at the charity's annual SportsBall, sponsored by Royal Bank of Canada, this evening (15 November). She was presented with the award by Greg Rutherford after an outstanding year which saw her win gold at the Youth Olympic Games, the Youth World Championships and the European Youth Continental Championships.
The third annual SportsAid Week saw another magnificent fundraising effort from the charity's supporters generate over £55,000 to provide backing to the next generation of British sporting talent. The initiative has now raised close to £150,000 since it first took place in 2016 to mark the charity's 40th anniversary. Next year's dates have already been announced for 23-29 September as SportsAid Week.
Rayner Essex, a chartered accountants and business advisory firm, is celebrating its 50 year anniversary in 2017. For well over a decade, Rayner Essex has been supporting SportsAid by running Lunch Clubs in Bloomsbury and St Albans, with the latter involving co-sponsors, to raise much-needed funds to help young talented athletes cover training and competition costs during the critical early stages of their careers.

Peripheral Arterial Disease, or PAD, develops when arteries get clogged with plaque, reducing blood flow throughout the body.
Symptoms of PAD include pain or numbness, difficulty walking, sores on the feet or legs, and erectile dysfunction.
Click here to read the transcript >>>
We know how important the heart is to overall health, but just as crucial are the arteries, that carry blood to every part of the body. When they get clogged up with plaque, there's a reduced blood flow, and Peripheral Arterial Disease, or P-A-D could develop. It affects the arms, legs, fingers and toes. Pain or numbness, or difficulty walking, could be signs of P-A-D.
Other possible symptoms include sores on the feet or legs, and erectile dysfunction. Smoking increases your risk of P-A-D, as does diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol.
Don't ignore P-A-D – it shows that you might be at risk for a heart attack. And many people with P-A-D experience a gradual loss of mobility – when walking becomes too painful.
And yet walking is one of the best ways to fight P-A-D. Even a few walks a week can reduce leg pain, increase your strength, and raise your spirits.
Tell your doctor if you notice symptoms of P-A-D and discuss treatment options, which may include medication, surgery, and an exercise plan. For less pain, and greater independence, keep moving! Be CardioSmart!

Former ambassador examines Iran nuclear deal
February 23, 2018
Former U.S. ambassador Dennis Jett equated the Iran Nuclear Deal negotiations to a "foreign policy food fight" Thursday in Posvar Hall.
"One should not confuse honesty and politics — they're like oil and water," Jett said.
Jett, who served as ambassador to Mozambique and Peru under the Clinton administration, spoke to a crowd of 15 about his new book "The Iran Nuclear Deal: Bombs, Bureaucrats, and Billionaires." The Global Studies Center, along with the Center for Educational Resources on Islamic Studies and Pitt Global Affairs Club, hosted the event.
The Iran Deal, Jett said, was an agreement made in 2015 during former President Barack Obama's second term between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the P5+1, which includes the permanent members of the United Nations Security Council — the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, France and China — and the European Union. The agreement was that Iran would reduce its nuclear facilities in exchange for all nuclear-related economic sanctions in Iran being lifted, which would release more than $100 billion in frozen assets.
The role of the United States in this plan is to sign a waiver suspending the sanctions every 120 days, but President Donald Trump has repeatedly criticized the deal as not being in the United States' best interests, calling it "the worst deal ever made."
Jett said the recent influences of money, technology, partisan politics, globalization and a growing disregard for truth complicated the way this agreement was made and followed.
"But what's not new [is that] elected officials, political appointees and bureaucrats don't think the same," Jett said.
In his book, Jett argues that the Iran Deal was a fight over congressional and public opinion with billionaires on both sides of the deal.
"Anyone can play this game," Jett said. "You had rabbis for the deal, you had rabbis against it. You had diplomats, including me, for the deal and against it."
Jett spoke about another area of conflict related to differences in which people view history. He defined history as "what a country chooses to remember" and contrasted Iran's version of history with America's version.
"I think what rankles most with Iranians was the Iraq War," Jett said. "In the American version it's all about 'Argo.'"
"Argo" refers to a film based on the Iran Hostage Crisis, when thousands of Iranians stormed the U.S. Embassy Nov. 4, 1979, in Tehran and took 66 Americans hostage. Americans viewed the crisis as shocking, while the Iranians believed it was justified due to American intervention in Iranian politics. Jett said these differing views largely influenced the contention between the two countries, still impacting the Iran Deal today.
Jett also said the critics of this deal said the agreement is not sufficient in preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons, and that a better deal could be achieved by having greater sanctions.
"My argument is basically that the critics are never gonna be satisfied," he said.
Currently, Trump is planning to work with European partners to create an agreement that will limit Iran's ballistic missile activity and testing and make modifications to the existing deal if it is made permanent. But Jett said he thinks this debate will continue for a long time and that the chaos of this deal will only escalate further.
"The daily White House psychodrama will continue," Jett said. "I wake up everyday and wonder if it can get any worse."
Tanisha Joseph, a junior economics and statistics major and business manager of the Global Affairs Club, said she appreciated that Jett used language and examples easily understood to those who might not be as informed about global politics. She said she helped found the club to educate students about the impact of politics around the world.
"I feel like in college we're trapped in a bubble," she said.
Sophomore economics and philosophy major Eric Workman attended the talk because he had heard the former ambassador speak before and enjoyed his views, despite their contrasts to his own.
"I would say he was a little more radical [than me]," he said.

Karl Anton Eckert
This article does not cite any sources. (February 2010) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
Karl Anton Florian Eckert (17 December 1820 – 14 October 1879) was a German conductor and composer.
Eckert was born in Berlin, Germany, and by the age of five, had already proved himself as a musical child prodigy. After coming to the attention of Sing-Akademie zu Berlin director Carl Friedrich Zelter, he was entered into the academy in 1832, and with Zelter's support had his debut piano concert in the fall of that year.
He was later appointed Kapellmeister of Staatsoper Unter den Linden where he remained until the spring of 1848. After the end of the political turmoil of the Revolutions of 1848, Eckert left Berlin for Amsterdam, and later Brussels.
Eckert died in Berlin at age 58.

You could put out a bowl of booze, or maybe some fermented crabapples, get 'em drunk, and then just grab 'em and throw 'em in the pot!
I tried regular tomatoes, but the sparrows pecked at them and ruined them. Netting et al could help but the cost was such it was far cheaper to just buy the #$#!! tomatoes and be doe with it.
I tried regular tomatoes, but the sparrows pecked at them and ruined them. Netting et al could help but the cost was such it was far cheaper to just buy the #$#!! tomatoes and be doe with it. My gardening efforts were pretty much a bust. Squash borers destroy my squash. Various viruses destroyed the cucumbers. Cabbages, bok choi et all were destroyed by moth larva, and other pests. If I had to rely on gardening for food, I'd starve to death. What was good to eat soon got et by raccoons and possums. Squirrels soon learned to dig up my sweet potatoes.The only thing I can successfully grow seems to be broccoli. I found out the hard way that there is nothing squirrels love so much as sweet potatoes. Last go around, I would plant my slips, little starter plants for starting sweet potatoes and the $##$$!! squirrels within an hour would uproot them. Replant, and then uprooted. Until they were dead.
I have to wonder how people used to survive on farm grown goods. So many animals just love to profit off of human hard work.
I have horrible soil, and I don't like gardening anyway, although I do like the idea of it and like watching things grow, so I bought giant flower pots, top soil, and compost from Lowes, built wire cages and a drip irrigation system, and I grew decent tomatoes. Two plants will give me more tomatoes than I need, so I'm eating bacon-lettuce-tomato sandwiches every day, and sometimes for supper.It's true that homegrown is better than store bought, and those things they sell in the produce section during the winter months shouldn't even be called tomatoes, but in the summer, the homegrown/store bought difference is almost a wash. Besides that, there is a roadside stand 4 miles from my house that sells garden tomatoes, so last summer I decided not to bother growing them. With all the potted gardening monkey business, I don't think it cost me anymore to buy them, and I didn't have to fuss at all. I may grow tomatoes this summer. I haven't decided, but I can't justify growing my own on economics because that is of no importance to me, and I can't say my tomatoes are better (well maybe a little better), but it's too close to a wash to use as an excuse. To me, the only reason to grow your own is because you like doing it.
