If I'm on a corporate computer which has automatically configured proxy settings, can I still find out the proxy settings locally? Like for instance checking the following registry key?

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

With automatic settings I mean either by script or "autodetect":

Only a sort-of-answer, I'm afraid, but in the case where you've specified a script it should be possible to just fetch the script from the same location (in the general case, if I recall correctly, it's served over http) and extract the settings from that.

Obviously that doesn't help with the "autodetect" option.

There are graphic design websites that release themes and website graphics as PSD files. Some examples:

A theme: http://www.wordpressthemeshock.com/psd-themes/

Graphic elements: http://www.wordpressthemeshock.com/ribbons-set-free-psd/

I've looked at the PSD files in GIMP, and each element is nicely layered, with sublayers for the text, etc. The layers are also the size of the elements themselves. Is there an easy way to isolate out a layer with its sublayers, and create a new PSD file with the single element?

I can get access to a machine with Photoshop if need be, but if this is possible in GIMP, or another free tool, that'd would be great.

Is it an idea to simply duplicate the master file, then delete the layers you don't want, leaving the ones with the single element in and then save that file? I would see that possible even in GIMP.

share|improve this answer
Excellent suggestion for sure. I was able to remove the layers I was not looking for in GIMP. Getting closer to my goal. Now, I just need to crop to the layer to remove all the empty space around the layer, and end up with just to the element. I could try to do it manually, but if that could be done using an option in the drop list, something like "Crop to Layer", that would be perfect. –  dangowans Aug 5 '12 at 12:36

In the GIMP, use the Layers window to select the layer you want to isolate. This will highlight the layer with a dashed-line box.

In the main image window, under the Edit menu, select Copy. Then from the File menu, select Create, then Create from Clipboard.

This creates a new image within the boundaries of the selected layer. No cropping required (as long as the layer is the size of the element, and not the full image.) The one thing about this method is that it flattens the image, merging any sublayers together. Just need to do the major edits within the original image before copying the layers.

I got a bunch of pictures that I had to crop into 800x600 pixels. That was easily done, but now I have to upload them so the family can see them all.

Thing is, this is 500MB in pictures. I decided to simply zip the separate folders, which each contain an almost equal amount of pictures. This way I can upload a couple each day. Doing this manually is a very long and hard job. I wonder if there is a way to make 7-zip handle each folder individually?

I think I'll need a batch file to do it, but I'm not good with that. I've put everything under one folder. In the various subfolders is where the pictures are located. What I need is for the contents of that folder to be zipped. I'm not sure if I can just zip the folder along with it. I know PHP has a zip module, I've just never worked with it, so I'm not sure whether it can handle the fact that the content of the zip is a folder which contains the items, instead of just the items.

share|improve this question
How many folders are you talking about? 7? 147? If you're not good with batch files, but maybe this is a good opportunity to tackle that challenge. :) –  JMD Jan 11 '10 at 16:30

Run from a command prompt whose working directory is your My Pictures directory, this command will create a zip file of the contents of each subdirectory, leaving all of the zip files in your My Pictures directory.

Edit: I have added the quotation marks necessary to allow for directories with spaces in their names.

for /D %%d in (*.*) do 7z a -tzip "%%d.zip" "%%d"

Also: The following version will not put files in a subdirectory inside of the zip file, but instead in its root:

for /D %%d in (*.*) do 7z a -tzip "%%d.zip" ".\%%d\*"

In Windows 7 and above

for /D %d in (*.*) do 7z a -tzip "%d.zip" "%d"

for /D %d in (*.*) do 7z a -tzip "%d.zip" ".\%d\*"

I've tried adding the 7-zip folder to my classpath, but it won't work. If I use the entire string to locate the executable instead of just 7z, it does work. I though that adding that string to the class path should have the same effect? –  KdgDev Jan 11 '10 at 20:40
The classpath is where Java looks for classes and libraries. google.com/search?q=classpath You've apparently confused that with the path where the shell looks for executables. –  eleven81 Jan 12 '10 at 13:13
Question: the script works, but not when there are spaces in the folder-name... –  KdgDev Jan 29 '10 at 17:06
Thanks for the update. With the second script, do you mean that the contents of the zip will be "flattened"? –  KdgDev Jan 29 '10 at 22:10
This worked great for me, although I had to change %%d to %d as my Win 7 box complained about the var name being too long throwing a "%%d was unexpected at this time" error. –  Benjam Sep 8 '11 at 21:38

I couldn't get the command line to work, instead I downloaded WinRAR and mtone was right - WinRAR does have an option to zip multiple folders into their own separate ZIP files.

E.g. C:\Files\Fables 01 into C:\Files\Fables 01.zip, and C:\Files\Fables 02 into C:\Files\Fables 02.zip.

With WinRAR, open the Folder that contains the folders you want to zip, then follow these steps:

  • Select all folders you want zipped/rared
  • Click "ADD" or Alt+A or Commands -> "Add files to Archive"
  • Select RAR or ZIP
  • go to "Files" tab
  • Check "Put each file to separate archive" under the Archives box

When you've got any other settings you like fixed, hit OK and boom: multiple ZIP files of multiple folders. This worked so much easier than command line 7zip.

Tip: if you're images are JPGs, they are already compressed. use 7-Zip in 'archive' mode without compression (compression level: store) this will speed up the process tremendously.

even if you use Ultra compression you will hardly gain 5%, certainly not worth the effort.

I was thinking in terms of practically adding attachments.

i wouldn't send them as email attachment. rather upload the to a so called one-click-hosting server (e.g. drop.io, rs, mu, ms, etc., choices are plenty) and then send the download link via email to your friends and family.

They will be easier to mail, though. –  ldigas Jan 11 '10 at 16:48
i don't think there's much difference in uploading 475 or 500 MB, certainly not enough to make up for the time it takes to compress a gazillion JPGs with 'Ultra' :) –  Molly7244 Jan 11 '10 at 17:10
I was thinking in terms of practically adding attachments. It's easier to add one file as attachment instead of 10. (when number of files grow, this becomes annoying). –  ldigas Jan 11 '10 at 17:50
Which is why Molly suggested "archive" mode; it stuffs 'em all into one file, without wasting time trying to compress something that's already compressed ... –  Adrien Jan 11 '10 at 18:18
It's true I was reffering to her last sentence, but nevertheless, even with small reduction in size of jpeg files (and sometimes it's not so small, actually), it is still worth it. Time spend on compression is far less than time spend uploading it to let's say, gmail or some other mail (gmail having a relatively large attachment size allowance). –  ldigas Jan 11 '10 at 18:25

Just a slight update of eleven81's answer: The code below creates a batch file which multiple items can be dropped onto.

@echo off
if [%1]==[] goto :eof
7z a -tzip "%~1.zip" "%~1"
if not [%1]==[] goto loop

This batch file can then be added to the context menu via the registry:

  1. create a new key under [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell], call it cmd1
  2. Edit the string value and call it 'Batch Zip'
  3. create another new key under this one and call it command
  4. Change the value of this to your path, with double escaped slashes

So for example, my entry is "C:\Users\Rory\Dropbox\_apps\batch_zip.bat" "%1"

Once you do this you'll have an entry in your context menu for 'Batch Zip' which will batch zip any selected folders into separate archives

However, if you do this via the context menu, it will unfortunately run all operations simultaneously, and as anyone who's done a lot of zipping and unzipping will know, zipping folders works a lot faster one after the other than all at once.

If anyone knows a way to fix this in the registry please do tell.

Dragging the selected folders onto the batch will do them one after the other.

This answer is community wiki because I just want to clarify what you are trying to accomplish. If I understand correctly, you want to be able to create .zip files for the contents of each of the Pics* folders, not the whole structure, and not .zips that contain the Pics* folder itself, but rather the contents of the folder.

  • My Pictures
    • Pics1 (... Pics1.zip)
      • File1.jpg
      • File2.jpg
      • File3.jpg
    • Pics2 (... Pics2.zip)
      • File4.jpg
      • File5.jpg
    • Pics3 (... Pics3.zip)

      • File7.jpg
    • ...

Yup, you got it. –  KdgDev Jan 12 '10 at 8:27

7-zip has an option to UNZIP every file into its own folder (*/), but lacks the context commands to do the opposite action you are looking for.

That said, I remember doing this exact thing using winrar in the past. There's an option "unique archive per folder" or something to that effect.

Consumerism Inspiration

The Dark Side of Consumerism: What Landfills and Nursing Homes Taught These Indian Villagers

Sven Eberlein
Written by Sven Eberlein

Glamorized consumer culture has serious side effects—and to help people in remote Indian villages understand this, one filmmaker brought them to the West. Here’s what they thought of the dark side of Western lifestyles.

Nomadic Picnic.

This article was originally published in YES! Magazine, based on research and an interview I did with author and filmmaker Helena Norberg-Hodge, the founder of the International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC) that has sponsored villagers from the Himalayan desert region of Ladakh to go on “reality tours” to experience what everyday life is really like in the West.

Before the Indian Army built a road to Ladakh in 1962, residents of the Himalayan desert region known as “Little Tibet” had been little exposed to outside ideas. Making a living in one of the highest, driest, and coldest inhabited places on Earth was never easy: Rainfall is less than four inches a year, and in the winter the temperatures go below minus 30 degrees Fahrenheit. But Ladakhis have nevertheless lived an abundant agricultural life that allows them to thrive physically, culturally, and spiritually.

With the building of the road came a flurry of outside influence: material goods, centralized government, and tourism. By the time author and filmmaker Helena Norberg-Hodge first visited the region in 1975, Western pop culture and rampant consumerism were already making it difficult for Ladakhis to sustain the life that had nurtured them for so long.

“There was this romantic picture of Western consumer culture portrayed not only in media and advertising, but also in schoolbooks that made rural small town life seem backward and primitive,” Norberg-Hodge says, describing the shift in attitude among Ladakhis—largely fueled by media exposure—that was making people feel inferior about their modest traditional ways. While the appeal of a modern lifestyle full of instant gratification is understandable, Norberg-Hodge says that there was a clear lack of information, especially among Ladakhi youth, about the realities of life in the West. The underbelly of Western society was still largely invisible in developing countries during the pre-Internet and reality-TV era.

Norberg-Hodge says the visitors are most affected by people’s lack of free time, the social segregation of old and young, and the anonymity lack of interaction with neighbors.

For years, Norberg-Hodge had arranged month-long tours for Europeans to live and work on Ladakhi family farms, to help Westerners connect with what she describes as a less destructive way of life. She also hoped they would relay to the Ladakhis a more complete picture of the impact of conventional development in other parts of the world, such as the long-term effects of pesticides and chemical fertilizers on soil and agriculture. But after watching the transformation of Ladakhi society toward a more Westernized, glamorized lifestyle, Norberg-Hodge had another idea. Her nonprofit, International Society for Ecology and Culture (ISEC), began sponsoring Ladakhi villagers to go on “reality tours” of their own, to experience what everyday life is really like in places like Sweden, Germany, and the United Kingdom.

“I thought it was important for them to know that this fossil-fuel-based urban consumer culture, aside from its huge ecological cost, wasn’t making people happier,” she said.

In addition to experiencing firsthand the side of consumerism that rarely gets shown on TV, reality tours were the perfect catalyst to connect Ladakhis’ traditional cultural and economic values with growing alternative movements in the West. “We really wanted to show them how things like organic food, local community, holistic health care, and natural materials were valued in the marketplace,” Norberg-Hodge says, “because this is what the Ladakhis already had.” If they could see how their traditional ways were becoming not only more and more attractive and popular but lucrative in the West, it would drive home the message that rather than considering themselves backward and old-fashioned, they could play a role at the vanguard of a new global sustainability movement.

With the help of organizations like the International Federation of Organic Agriculture Movements, ISEC has been able to sponsor 50 “reality tourists.” Ladakhis stay with locals for as long as three months, visiting nursing homes, shopping malls, and garbage dumps, as well as local farms and solar energy installations. While they are astounded by the amount of stuff that is thrown away, Norberg-Hodge says the visitors are much more affected by people’s lack of free time, the social segregation of old and young, and the anonymity and lack of interaction with neighbors—even in densely populated apartment buildings. Some of their reactions are documented in Norberg-Hodge’s 2011 documentary, The Economics of Happiness.

“You’d be amazed—this way of life in the West is really not what we think,” Norberg-Hodge reported one woman saying upon returning to her village. “People live right on top of each other in a building and they don’t even know each others’ names. When someone comes to stay they make such a fuss over things like bed linen.”

As a growing number of Westerners are waking up to the social, environmental, and spiritual cost of unbridled consumerism and reacquainting themselves with localized, community-oriented economies, rural communities across the global South can be important models of the interdependent social fabric that has served people so well throughout history. Likewise, while the ethos of materialism continues to encroach on these communities, the exchanges that Helena Norberg-Hodge and ISEC have been facilitating for well over 30 years have shown some villagers that many of their traditional skills and ways of living are worth holding on to.

About the author

Sven Eberlein

Sven Eberlein

  • I find this article very satisfying as I have long questioned the push for globalization. Yes, there are advantages of knowing about and trading with other cultures, but not when we risk losing our own. The video raises another angle: wisdom. I also question the push for education as means of global competition. Education’s first purpose should knowledge; useful, logical, meaningful knowledge; not a tool to beat someone else. As we turn up our noses at non-degreed people, we break the connection to grandmother’s wisdom.

    • Thanks Ruth, that is a really great point and goes to the heart of it all, which is the question of why we do what we do in the first place. I was always confounded by the use of college as simply a stepping stone to making money, but it’s pretty much become a self-fulfilling prophesy, as nowadays it seems like college is the only way people are told they can have a career. And I think in that rush to get everyone their diplomas we’ve forgotten that it could be a place where people are encouraged to think about deeper knowledge and wisdom, at least for a few years before going off to be a “productive member of society.”

  • Hi Sven…I was interested in reading what the Ladakhis brought back to their own culture after immersing themselves in ours. Their points about time and our general lack of knowledge of who our neighbors are resonated with me. I have often wondered how the West has evolved to prefer this over a more intimate experience of life? When I hear the latest time saving gadget being touted in the marketplace…I question what will we do with all that “saved”time…go for a walk…hang out with family and friends?

    • Hi Albertus, I think your very last line nails it as far as the Ladakhis and their “free” time are concerned: “hang out with family and friends”

      I think that’s pretty much what most people in the “developing” world choose to do with as much of their time as possible. And it’s probably not too far off from what most people in the West would like to do with their time, but paradoxically are held up in the pursuit of all the things that are supposed to make life easier and more convenient.

Crayfish party

2 Comments Melbourne

We went to a great Swedish crayfish party yesterday organized by a couple of Swedes living in Melbourne. Good to meet some fellow Swedes, talk some Swedish and eat some nice Swedish food. Besides lots of yabbies there was Janson’s temptation, pickled herring, Kalles Kaviar, meatballs with gravy and lingonberry jam and crisp bread. Plus some Swedish schnapps of course. :)

We had Simon’s sister and her boyfriend with us so no I’ve introduced Simon’s whole family to this Swedish tradition.

Mmmm, Swedish food!

If you do not have change PHRASE_DELIMITER_CHAR you
must do

./swish-e -w 'keywords="database of over"'

The modification to the parser is very simple. It looks
for the delimiter char and change the search to:

keywords=(database precd of precd over)

Read it as: database precedes of precedes over

I do not know if this is the problem but, at least, a
parse error may be displayed.
The search is solved like an and but considering positions.

Anyway, I will check it.

You are right once again. At this point (not released yet) I have
expandstar and getmatchword and add the "wild card" functionality to
because it is faster and more clear. Now, when you search for "a*" you
can even
find the word "and"!!

The next version will boost performace on wild cards.

Lot of work to do with parser!!
I think the parser has to be partially rewritten.

I will be out for three days and I cannot attend this lists. Sorry for

PACS6914 - Conflict-Resolving Media

Semester 1a, 2012  |  Credit Points: 6

Coordinator: Jake Lynch

This unit examines media representations of conflict and their influence on the behaviour of those involved. It introduces creative ways for jounalists, media development workers and media activists to apply principles of conflict resolution. Students diagnose 'war journalism' and 'peace journalism', and analyse conflict in a journalism context. Theories of news and concepts of objectivity and responsibility are critically explored. Students gain practical skills in peace journalism and media activism as well as devising media interventions in conflict-affected areas.

Mammograms catch second breast cancers early

23 February 2011

Breast cancer tissue.
Breast cancer tissue.

The results of a cohort study of women with a personal history of breast cancer published in this week's Journal of American Medical Association highlights the need for mammograms in women with a history of the cancer.

Describing the research project as the most comprehensive study of its kind, the authors reported that the Breast Cancer Surveillance Consortium (BCSC) study examined 58,870 screening mammograms in 19,078 women who had had early-stage breast cancer. An equal number of screening mammograms in 55,315 women who had no such history and were matched for breast density, age, BCSC registry, and year of mammography, was simultaneously investigated.

Nehmat Houssami, Associate Professor at the University of Sydney's School of Public Health, said the study found that women with a personal history of breast cancer had double the cancer rates as those with no such history.

"More women are surviving longer after having early-stage breast cancer, but they are at risk of developing breast cancer again, a recurrence, or a new cancer," she said.

"The comprehensive data from the BCSC made it possible for us to carefully examine the outcomes of screening for both the previously affected breast, as well as the opposite breast, at a population level," Dr Houssami said.

"This is the first study in the world, to our knowledge, to provide a complete picture of the expected outcomes of mammography screening for women with a personal history of breast cancer."

"Mammography was effective at finding cancers early in women who had had cancer, but not quite as effective as in those who had not," Dr Houssami said. "We found that both false positives and 'interval cancers' were higher, and mammography was not as sensitive at detecting invasive breast cancer, in women with a personal history of breast cancer."

False positives mean that a mammogram suggests a breast cancer may be present, but after further testing it turns out not to be. Interval cancers are breast cancers that were not detected on screening mammography and are found between mammography screens, prompted by either breast symptoms or additional testing.

"Because of the risk of interval cancers, it's important that women seek medical care for any breast changes or concerns between mammograms," said Dr Houssami's collaborator Diana Miglioretti, PhD, a senior investigator. "The good news is that most of the breast cancers detected in breast cancer survivors between mammography screens were early stage."

The National Cancer Institute-funded BCSC cooperative agreement, and Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council funding of the Screening and Test Evaluation Program, supported this research. Data collection was supported in part by several US state public health departments and cancer registries.

American Idol Star Daughtry comes to the Target Center

Daughtry on Stage
"American Idol Star Daughtry" may be the one phrase that Chris Daughtry founder and frontman of the rock band Daughtry can't wait to get rid of. In reality Daughtry will probably always be known for his American Idol start. Like it our not, his start on the hit-show propelled him to stardom and has fueled the interest in the tour.

Currently Daughthry is touring internationally but will be returning to the States this spring to start the second leg of his tour which features Lifehouse and Cavo. Daughtry told reporters about the tour, "Growing up, you dream about singing one of your songs in front of a packed house,” he says. "I still get chills when we’re playing and I hear the crowd singing louder than we are.”

Daughtry will be at the Target Center May 19th at 7:30.

Update on the struggle, May 2

    Day 0 + 1 after May Day 2010, the Glorious People’s Team took to the Field of our Founders to set forth against the imperial forces that are the Iceoplex FC. The People’s Team fought hard, and it is right and revolutionary to be proud of every Pub hero that day. The worthy strike from the foot of the Young Pioneer could have easily proven to have been all that was needed on the day, but like Cliff Richards, fascists are always trying to bring the TDFC down. Che James battled swiftly and strongly in goal, but with treachery and back-handedness reserved only for the most dastardly of foes, the Corporate stooges of the Iceoplex drew ahead of the People’s Team on the day. A so-called “penalty” was awarded to the corporate shills of the opposition after the People’s keeper worked like any good proletariat would to clear the 18 yard box.

    The deviant actions of the corporation ran so deep as to have re-routed the Ministry of Photography through a series of detours and dead ends, separating the ministry from the entouragical will of the People. In a display of cheap imitation, a member of the invading side set up as if involved with the collective, and proceeded to take account of the day. If not for the keen eye of the Pub Stasi, who knows what kind of spin would have been put on the evidence of the day! The camera was confiscated and this 'Peter Parker' was sent to corporate gulag, one different than the orchestrators of this treason envisioned to be sure. The confiscated camera left little to be gleaned as it exploded. Technicians recovered what can only be explained as questionable data.

    The kind of corporate thuggery on exhibition that day belies a truthiness overarching the match. With their generally decadent approach to the people’s game, the corporate shills of Iceoplex will do all in their power to live up to their pseudo-futuristic name. Unlike the futurists of the early 1900s, these adherents of the “new” ape the Italian futurists of the 1920s and embrace their fascist underpinnings. Like Comrade Stephanson said in the 25th chapter of Snowcrash, these types won’t be happy until a courier can skateboard from New York to L.A., simply by going through one franchise parking lot to another. Gross. Long Live the Collective! LONG LIVE THE PUB! Crush the Iceoplexes and all who follow their broken ideology. Futball for the Pub, Futball for the People, ALL POWER TO THE PEOPLE’S PUB!

What Music Video Is This Picture From?

This beautifully shot music video features the debut single off this singer’s 2010 record, and it speaks candidly about the fear and possibility of losing love and making mistakes. However, the music video and lyrics portray that even though it does happen, it’s also possible to find someone who will stick by your side through the good and the bad. The couple embracing in the shadows are the stars of the video — although we won’t reveal whether the guy or girl is the singer. Do you know what music video this picture is from?

It was filmed on the water and in the forest, with shots interspersed of good quality family time, romantic walks by the ocean and even some passionate fighting. The clip explores a range of emotions, and in the end, love wins out. Click below to see if you’re right!

Spring Kale Salad with Fennel

Warm Kale Salad with Soft-Boiled Eggs and Fennel
 As spring reaches full bloom, my craving for fresh, light foods is also ripening.  Produce unavailable for the past several months is slowly but surely reappearing on grocery store shelves. Previously mealy and flavorless tomatoes are replaced by firm, red, mouthwatering spring versions.  In the spirit of transition, here is a lighter meal, but made with ingredients available this time of year, before the growing season is in full swing.

This is a simple and nutritious recipe based on a salad served at Brooklyn restaurant Buttermilk Channel.  Encompassing three of my favorite things, kale (of course), fennel and soft-boiled eggs, this recipe is one of my favorites.

Kale is a super food.  It has healing properties.  It scours out your digestive system and contains all kinds of valuable nutrients, including vitamins A and C, and antioxidants.  Plus it has a light and slightly bitter flavor that brings interest and zip to many dishes.

Today's Recipe: Warm Kale Spring Salad

Time: 10 minutes
Makes: 1-2 serving
Difficulty: Ant Icon 32x32px

½ lb fresh kale of any variety (about 6-7 large leaves)
1 small bulb fresh fennel
1 tps olive oil
½ tsp balsamic vinegar
2 eggs
Salt and pepper to taste

Begin by soft-boiling eggs according to instructions in the “What’s for Breakfast? Soft Boiled Egg Sandwich” post (3/27/2012), remembering to add eggs to unheated water and allowing them to heat slowly as the water comes to a boil.

While the eggs cook, heat teaspoon of olive oil in a sauté pan on low to medium-low heat.

Chop fennel bulb in half and slice into half rounds.  Add to heating oil.  Chop kale into bite-sized pieces and add to sauté.

Stir regularly and cover, allowing the vegetables to steam lightly.  Be careful not to overcook the kale.  It should be only lightly softened and warmed.  You definitely want it to retain its lovely crunch.

When kale and fennel are warmed and softened, add vinegar, salt and pepper.  Remove from heat.

After eggs have boiled for 5-7 minutes, remove from heat and run cold water over them to stop cooking.  Gently remove eggshells and rinse.

Serve kale and fennel mixture with eggs.  I like how perfectly pretty the yoke looks when the eggs are sliced merely in half, but they can also be chopped into bite-sized morsels or left whole according to your preference.

Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper and serve.

You are FLAWLESS for clicking on my profile.

^thank you to Guppy1313 for the lovely graphic^

Well hello! My name is Maci :)

So I guess its time to tell you about myself and how I became a Swiftie. So one day, at eleven years old in 2006, I was in the car with my mother and we were listening to the radio and Tim McGraw came on. I had never heard it before but it sounded lovely! I told my mom to keep her hands away from the button and that I thought the song was great. When we got home I looked up the song and listened to it...over...and over....and over again. Yeah...I listened to it a lot. My mom was really annoyed that I kept listening to it so she went out and bought me Taylor's album so she could at least hear more songs and not Tim McGraw over and over again! It was such a lovely cd. So I guess you could say I was a Swiftie from the very beginning.

As Fearless rolled around I got more excited! More Taylor Songs! NOW PLEASE! And of course the cd was great. I loved it. Then, I heard about the Fearless tour, the closest tour stop was about an hour and a half away! I wanted to go, I wanted to go SO bad more then you could evren imagine, I begged my mom, and she said we couldn't afford it, and it crushed me.

So after not being able to go to the Fearless tour I was determined to go the Speak Now tour. I wanted to go to it more then anything. But of course, we still couldn't afford tickets. I was so sad. Plus my mom said she wouldn't have driven me to Gillette since she didn't like big crowds. So I found out that my friend was going with her mother! So I begged my mom that if I could get a ride with her and found someone to go with if she would buy my ticket! So she gave me an option, a Sweet Sixteen Party or Taylor Tickets. I chose Taylor Tickets no question and not before long my older sister sent me a picture of our tickets!

That is literally what I did when I saw the picture of the tickets! It made me realize how real the fact that I would be seeing Taylor in just a month away! I was so excited! I could barely stop talking about it....So finally the night came around it it was magical! It poured rain! Taylor even said how glad she was that she could dance around in the rain with 50,000 people! I SPOKE NOW ON June 25, 2011!

The Red Era so far has been great! I love every song on Red. It is wonderful! I even found someone to go to the Red concert with me and I bought my ticket myself so nobody could tell me I couldn't go!! So I can't even wait for it! Its going to be EPIC!

Well I am seventeen years old and I'm a senior this year! I mean I'll be graduating this year! its so beyond exciting! Yes! I'm graduation in 2013! 131313131313131313!!!! I want to go to college next year for Video Prouction. My dream is to one day produce a Taylor video!

New Blog on the Block and Friday Feebie

Hip hip hooray!! It's Friday!! Wow! I don't know about you, but this was a long week! We are getting ready for our Patriotic Program that our school is putting on next week, and between practicing for that and teaching, things got off schedule. And when things get off schedule, you know how that effects the little ones! My kiddos were hyper all week!! So, yeah for Friday!!

I love Friday Freebies! My class is working on place value so I created a fun little activity for them this week. I hope you enjoy!  (Just click on the images below to get your free download!) Oh, and don't forget to leave me a little comment if you like your freebie! Nothing like a little love to make the world go round! :)

I also have a new addition to my New Blog on the Block!! This week please give a very warm welcome to  Elementary Apples! She's a brand new blogger and would love you to stop by and say hello! Please head on over and give her a warm welcome!

I was having a rough go of it the last few weeks and was getting pretty discouraged. Some sweet friends of mine dropped off a Valentine's Day card and a little treat for me last night and I just loved the little quote they included. I am sharing it with you in hopes that it brings comfort to anyone who may be a bit discouraged, too.  Thanks to so many amazing friends out there who help me remember who I am and to keep my chin up when I feel a bit overwhelmed. "This, too, shall pass."

"Nothing burns as bright, nothing shimmers so
As the smile of a friend when hope is running low.
And how your hand feel warm when you dry a tear,
Love is in fashion any time of the year."
-Cherie Call Anderson

There is only Love,

The Internet of Things Comes To Your Garden 66

Iddo Genuth writes Connected devices are becoming ubiquitous — a number of new companies are now offering WIFI and BT enabled devices that can let you control almost all aspects of your garden from your smartphone or tablet, save you money on water and allow you to monitor your plant's health from a distance. In the past few months we have seen an explosion of new companies and products belonging to the 'Internet Of Things' (IOT) and this trend isn't skipping the garden. For years irrigation controllers were amongst the most hated, unintuitive devices around, but a new generation of small start-up companies such as Rachio, GreenIQ and GreenBox are looking to change that. They want to create completely new ways to interact with our garden which will be more wireless and more connected (with lots of smart sensors that will tell us what is going on with our plants before it's too late).

Then there is all the stuff under the Japanese maple that the cameras couldn't even see, the huge portion of the yard that is blocked from view by the enormous wisteria, and the fig tree and butterfly bushes that shade complet

    Ever wonder why, after almost a century of technological development, a lot of small time and hobby farmers still drive 1940's era tractors?

    A, because they're cheap to buy and fix. B, because if it ain't broke, it don't need fixin'.

    I'm sure all these fancy garden toys are quite popular with the hipster, urban-farming-because-its-hip crowd, but for actual subsistence farming? Not so much.

    • It's probably mostly an issue of coping with limited areas, where you want to optimize stuff to hell. Gardening rarely intersects with tractor use (at least around here).
      • It's less about the tool itself and more about the mentality. A lot of people hobby farm for the joy of it (see other comments on this story), and this sort of tech takes away from the enjoyment. As for subsistence farmers, they're just one more expensive toy that will eventually break, potentially leaving them with damaged crops.

        Huge factory farms and people who want to have pet plants but consistently forget to care for them might benefit from such devices, but I just don't see the demand coming from peop

          I used quite a bit of tech in my last gardening endeavor, but not in an "Internet of things" way. I used Craigslist to scrounge for everything except my tomato seedlings. I used bamboo that was growing by the side of the house to cage the plants. It was like a big scavenger hunt to see whether or not I could get "something for nothing". I even saved seeds for the next year; but I think they got lost in the move. I moved too late in the growing season and had too much else going on to garden this year;

      Because they're either dead broke, stupid, or they're fascinated by retro things. 1940's era tractors are uncomfortable, low power, and at best middling in reliability.

    I've been using this wonderful device for controlling drip irrigation: []

    The user interface is brain-dead simple. The dial simply has 17 settings, for
    1: Daily for 2 minutes
    2: Daily for 5 minutes
    3: Daily for 10 minutes ...
    7: Every other day for 5 minutes
    8: Every other day for 10 minutes ...
    12: Every third day for 10 minutes
    13: Every third day for 15 minutes

    That's it! There isn't an option for "2 minutes every 3 days" because -- guess what -- gardeners don't actually need that level of control! It just has a laser focus on a simple user interface that will be good for 99% of residential customers.

    Would my life be better if I had to change the batteries in the irrigation controller every 5 days to power its wifi? Or if I had to run mains power and Ethernet cabling out into the garden for it? Would my life be better if I had a fiddly iPhone/Android app with more settings pages than I'd care to use, maybe a cloud-based controller like my Nest? Do I ever go on holiday and wish I'd changed the watering schedule before departing?

    • I've been using this wonderful device for controlling drip irrigation: []

      I used something kind of like that for about two weeks, until one day I came home to find that the mechanism had spontaneously exploded* sometime hours before, and my garden had turned into a small swamp-like biome.

      Now I just mulch properly and water in the morning/evening like I used to; the mulch makes all the difference in the world.

      * Caveat, the model was one of those super-cheap ones from Harbor Freight, so I should have expected catastrophic failure.

    • Does your solution account for weather forecast? Because watering the lawn 12 hours before it is going to rain seems like a bit of a waste.

      I'd love to have a timer that was smart enough to read the local weather forecast, and make decisions. I'd also love to have a timer where I could walk the zones in my garden periodically and using my smart phone/tablet and increase/decrease the amount of watering duration for the zone.

    I actually enjoy watering. I get to see my plants, check how they are doing, etc;
    I actually check the soil and how moist it is, see what bugs there are/aren't, the status of my garden in general as I water.

    I'm an embedded developer and also have a hobby garden. So when things got cheap enough I got really excited about building a contraption to monitor moisture, ph, amount of sun and to adjust fertilizer and water levels accordingly. Then I realized that for hobby gardeners this really defeats the purpose. We garden for fun, and at least for me, I don't like bringing technology to things that don't need it.

    On the other hand, those guys out in colorado growing pot will love this kind of thing.

    I just read every post (up to this point), and it's the real gardeners who are opposed to the tech solutions.

    That's not what gardening is about. You have to get out there and get your hands dirty to enjoy it. I was born with a "green thumb" and can grow almost anything, even plants that are supposed to be outside of my growing zone. But you gotta be out there with 'em to know what they need and when they need it. Too many people over-water, plant in the wrong place, or over-fertilize and then wonder what went wrong.

    I even like my weeds. Many of them are edible!
