Usage examples of "rees".

Roch had not denied them that yet and when the break came Rees met Cipse beneath the glow of a globe lamp.

Wiping his face clear Rees jumped into the network of bones and began to clamber up toward the light, his thrusting feet crushing ribs and skeletal fingers.

It drowned Rees in a huge pain, burnt him with the fierce, enormous agony of it all.

Bizarrely, he and Rees seemed to be being pulled toward opposite ends of the ship.

Groggily Rees pulled himself from his sleeping net and moved slowly about the jumbled cabin, grinding through his wake-up routines.

Belt the centripetal force faded, so that Rees drifted briefly through true weightlessness.

The chair rolled slowly to a halt, carrying Rees a few yards from the trail of the cable.

Belt to Raft, and so after his moment of decision following the foundry implosion Rees had resolved to stow away on the next tree to visit the Belt.

Ignoring the watching Rees the man dropped without hesitation across empty air to a cabin and began to make his way around the Beit.

Soon Rees was bent over a fire bowl, scraping ash and soot from the iron with shaped blades of wood.

Every tethering cable was vertical and quite taut, and Rees could almost feel the exertion of the harnessed tRees as they strained against the pull of the Core.

But Rees was waiting for an answer, a look of bright inquiry in his eyes.

Over the volumes appeared a round face topped by a bald scalp, and Rees recognized Cipse, the Chief Navigator.

Raft itself, was embedded the gleaming cylinder which Rees had spotted on his first arrival here.

The plates of the disassembled hull lapped around the cylinder, and Rees saw how neatly they had been cut and joined to the wall.

The Future of Fjordman Blog

I posted earlier that I will probably quit blogging soon. I got some emails from Aaron from the Internet Haganah, Baron and Dymphna from the Gates of Vienna and others, wondering whether I was ok. I'm fine, I'm not ill and I don't have Al-Qaida outside my door. There are strictly private and personal reasons why I can't continue blogging the way I am doing right now. First of all, I'm a little bit tired, but most importantly, there are family related issues which I won't explain in detail. I will definitely be completely gone for a rather long time. Maybe I will return some day, but I don't know that for sure.

I will try to continue blogging for the rest of November, or at least as long as possible, so don't stop visiting when you read this :-)

At November 01, 2005 11:42 PM, Blogger Baron Bodissey said...

You can't do this. We will chain you to your PC, force feed you, and set you up with a caffeine IV.

We must have Norse Vikings represented in the blogosphere. It's an affirmative action thing.

Goddammit Fjordman, say it ain't so!!!

I can understand your POV though. I am having a very tough time to come up with good posts on a regular basis and actually it's bad for both my professional AND my family life.

Well, a man's got to to what he's got to do. But IF you are indeed gonna stop, it will be a huge loss for our Euro Rightwing Front.

Unlike the Baron, I may not cling to your leg as you attempt to close the door, I do think I shall go to my room and tear up a bit...this is sad.

In the light of your decision, you may enjoy a post I wrote recently:

Blogs Are Like Children

I hope your adieu is for happy reasons. It is trite to say you will be sorely missed. As Michael noted, it will be a huge loss.

At November 02, 2005 3:52 AM, Blogger Runnymede1215 said...

That's bad news, even though your decision is fully understandable.

This amount and kind of quality writing takes time and effort and you must have made substantial sacrifices in your life off line.

I sincerely hope you'll be back in one way or the other.

I can understand your reason for leaving for personal reasons (and it's none of my business). I do hope however that you will continue to contribute to the usual blogs still out there. Thanks from Canada.

Fjordman, maybe this is rude of me, but since I'm active at FOMI, I really would appreciate if you could consider giving me your mail adress.

You could for example mail it to me at magnacarta1215@hushmail.com

Your blog is one of the best, and will be sorely missed, especially among those with a Scandinavian heritage. As important as your blog is, your family is more important. I have tremendous respect for you in putting them first. Wishing you and your family all the best, we will miss you--and be very happy if you are able to return at some future date. Tusen Takk!!

All for one and one for all
"Please, don't kill them all"  is my first thought, watching this great still above.

However,  my first words must be, "I apologize". Why? Because tomorrow  is Day Five for Spooks 10 and I'm still here commenting episode 4. A bit late. So late that it's better to consider it  an occasion to revise before going on more than a review of a watching.
OK. Take it as it is. I watched it, after the majority of you had already done it, and I wanted to share my impressions all the same. If you mind spoilers, though mild, please don't ...

I can't think we are two steps away from the very end of it. Only two episodes left, two hours. Then it'll be over, for good. Too painful a thought so, let's concentrate on what we had last Sunday.

From the end backward.

A very angry - let's say furious - Harry openly defies his ex-friend turned into one of his worst enemies.

Before that, a torn Harry sits on a bench and shares very touching thoughts with Ruth. Again, "the cost of being a spy": "Do you know what it is like to feel something for someone and then one day realize you don't even know them?"
I'm sure Harry knows. Such an experienced man with such a troubled conscience must know what it is like, Ruth.
I feel for the two of them. Anyway, Ruth should know she's asking Harry for too much. Something like, being loyal to her or to his country. He simply cannot choose. She neither,actually. She is still pondering over the Home Secretary's proposition.
Erin's dream of a normal life is shattered in Trafalgar Square.
She had previously said to Harry: "I don't think you have to give everything. I think you can have a normal life and do this (being a spy). I have to believe that"
Well, she is harshly disillusioned, her confidence shattered in a wink.

Everything ends well for her luckily, tears and relief,  huge smile and hugs, but nothing will be the same any more in her mind and in her life.
She cries her fear away on D's shoulder. D= Dimitri. Tender is Dimitri in this series, do you remember my  previous diary entry?

"I can't do it Harry", Erin will confess the next day.
D's ready to join her up to the roof where the episode had started. He reassures her and has her smile again at last. Well done, D! But keep your distance now, your boss is back:  "Got to keep on your toes!"

Look at that jacket. I've already seen it ...

Before that, a tense episode, fast paced, gripping, to watch on the edge of your seat and biting your nails...if only you hadn't already seen terrorists planning a suicide attack in a crowded London landmark and MI5 assets infiltrating them in order to discover and defuse the murderous plot some other time in the previous series. I mean, I could but feel all the anxiety, the thrill, the menacing nightmare in the scenes in Trafalgar Square and before but ... with the impression of a deja vu.

Previously Ruth had had to witness Harry protect and save the life of Helena. Harry's past, Harry's secrets, Harry's bonds to other people she had never heard about are menacing their long-lasting relationship based on trust, loyalty and mutual esteem. She's hurt, uncertain and restless.

The episode had started with the whole section D summoned by Harry for a quick debrief  on the roof on a windy morning. Suggestive scene: "All for one and one for all" ,  I liked it (see first still in this post, above)
As I liked the whole episode.
At the end of my Day 3 Journal I had stated that I had been awkwardly relaxed for watching a Spooks episode. Not this time. Old Spooks thrilling rhythm was back.

P.S. 1
Missing my favourite spy a lot. Terribly much. By the way,  has D inherited his clothes? Part of them? That doesn't help me at all.

Richard Armitage as a spy, again?

P.S. 2 I've heard they are looking for the new James Bond since Daniel Craig is leaving.  Here's the perfect one! Just wait for him. Currently engaged on a mission in The Middle Earth. Under cover. Code name: Thorin Oakenshield. Quite unrecognizable. Good disguise. A dwarf.

lunarossa said...

Ciao bella, great post. After watching episode 4 and 5 I'm speechless. I will be in mourning from next Sunday evening onwards...whatever happens there will nothing like Spooks again. A.x.

Still have to watch episode 5. Going to do it very soon! Speechless... mmm...I'm so curious to see the rest of it and at the same time I'm sad thinking it is the end ... for good :-(
Thanks for your comment. Hugs. MG

Traxy said...

It's amazing how elvish Richard's ears look on that last picture! :)

Three-Citrus Marmalade Recipe

4 1/2 pounds of fruit

One of the very first recipes I posted to this blog was one for Orange-Ginger Marmalade. I’m having a bit of a hard time wrapping my brain around the fact that I’ve nearly cooked my way through an entire year of canning since then and that it’s time for marmalade, once again.

I’ve learned a great deal about preserves since then, and I think that this approach to marmalade is easier and more sensible that the one I originally took. This one used the outer layer of citrus zest, but discards the inner pith, making for easier chopping and a more tender product. I’m completely delighted with the way that this batch turned out, and last night, when I served it at a party along side a long of goat cheese, I felt so proud that it was something I had made in my own little kitchen.

de-zested citrus

To begin, weigh your fruit. Conventional fruit is fairly uniform in size these days, but there can still be a great deal of variety in weight, depending on storing conditions and length of time off the tree. I used 2 pink grapefruit, 3 lemons and four navel oranges and had approximately 4 and 1/2 pounds of fruit. Feel free to add or subtract a lemon or orange to achieve the right weight. Scrub your citrus well, so that you can feel good about including all that lovely, fragrant zest in your preserve.

serrated peeler

Using a vegetable peeler, remove the zest from your citrus. I tried every peeler I own (at least five) and found that the serrated peeler you see above did the best job. Please take care when using one of these tools though, as those little teeth are incredibly sharp. At one point, I slipped and ended up with a series of punctures in the tip of my pinky finger. Not pleasant when working with acidic citrus.

chopping zest

Once your citrus has been stripped, chop the zest into fine ribbons. I found that the best way to do this was to stack four or five strips of zest and then mince them (mind your fingers!) into bits about 1/4 of an inch wide. I found that my 4 1/2 pounds of fruit yielded approximately 2 1/2 cups of zest bits.

zest in motion

Fill a medium-sized pot with 6 cups of cold water, add your zest ribbons and bring to a boil. Simmer the zest for half an hour, until it’s tender and uniform in color. While it boils…

chop, chop

Use a sharp paring knife to break your naked fruit down. Take a grapefruit and cut the north and south poles off (to give yourself stable bases). Then, working top to bottom, cut the white pith off the fruit (you want to expose the interior surface of the fruit). When all the white pith is removed, use the knife to separate the fruit from the membrane of the fruit (this technique is called supreming and there’s a helpful tutorial over on Coconut & Lime, if my written instructions aren’t doing it for you). Collect the naked segments in a large measuring cup and reserve the membranes and seeds.

bundle of seeds, pith and membranes

When all the fruit has been broken down, gather up the reserved seeds and membranes in a piece of cheesecloth. Bundle it up well and tie off the top, so that none of the seeds can escape. One does this because the seeds, membrane and pith contain a great deal of pectin. You will boil this bundle with the fruit while you make the marmalade, so that you extract the maximum amount of pectin from your fruit.

draining the zest bits

At this point, the zest should be done boiling. Drain the cooked zest, reserving the boiling water. This liquid has been infused with a great deal of citrus flavor and so some of it will be used in the marmalade.

boil, boil

Finally, it’s time to make marmalade! In a large, heavy-bottomed, non-reactive pot (a stainless steel or enameled dutch oven is your best bet there), combine the zest ribbons, the citrus segments (approximately 4+ cups), 4 cups of the zest cooking liquid, 6 cups of sugar and the cheesecloth bundle.

the magic temperature

Bring the pot to a boil. It’s a good idea to use a big pot for this, so that you have plenty of room for the marmalade to bubble. Pair that large pot with a instant read thermometer with a temperature alarm, and you don’t have to watch it the entire time. Set the thermometer to 220 degrees (that’s the point at which the marmalade will achieve set), place the thermometer probe in the pot (balancing it so that you keep the cord away from the burner) and feel okay turning your back to do some dishes (return to it every 4-5 minutes to stir). This will need to boil for 30-40 minutes, in order to reach and sustain 220 degrees.

While it cooks, you can also prepare your canning pot, jars (for this recipe, they need to be sterilized, as this one is only processed for five minutes. I find that the easiest way to do this is to put them in the canning pot when you’re first filling it and bring them up to a boil along with the water), lids (simmer in a small saucepan over medium-low heat to soften the sealing medium) and rings.

finished marmalade, waiting to be poured into jars

Once the marmalade has reached 220 degrees and has stayed there for at least a minute, check the potential set by putting a small dab of the hot marmalade into the middle of a cold plate. Let it sit for a moment and then nudge it with your finger. If the surface wrinkles and seems firm, it is ready. If it is still quite runny, boil it for several additional minutes.

Once the text yields a good result, turn the heat off and remove the pot from the burner. Gently stir the marmalade for about a minute off the heat. I’ve learned over the years that this helps the zest distribute itself evenly throughout your preserve (I hate it when the solids clump towards the top of the jar, and this helps prevent that from happening).

filling jars

Fill your jars (this recipe makes approximately 3 1/2 pints), leaving 1/4 inch of headspace. When they’re all filled, wipe the rims to remove any sticky residue, apply the lids and screw on the rims. Carefully lower the filled jars into the canning pot (don’t forget to put a rack in the pot). Process in a boiling water canner for five minutes (starting the time when the pot returns to a boil). When the five minutes are up, remove the jars from the pot and let them rest on a towel-lined counter top until the jars are completely cool.

three-citrus marmalade

Here’s my serving suggestion: Spread spoonfuls on freshly baked scones, drink black tea with milk and sugar, and pretend you’re in Gosford Park.

And, because I’m so proud of this lovely, fragrant, gently-bitter marmalade, I have a jar to give away. I’ve set that little four-ounce jar you see up there on the right aside for one of you lovely readers. Leave a comment by 11:59 p.m. on Thursday, February 18th, 2010 to enter.

A recipe, in a more conventional format, can be found after the jump.

“Always at Your feet”

I cannot stop thinking how it’d be to bow to this Goddess and worship her, to be her footstool, to paint her lovely toenails, to pamper her beautiful amazing feet, to give her a footrub, or, simple, to stay quietly on my knees looking at those short, to live for her feet!

I think every man on earth should bow down to Mz Devon, worship, adore and tribute her. Every man’s goal should be to work to make Goddess Mz Devon’s life easier. She should have no problems, no worries and no concerns..she should have everything she wants, provided by her slaves. Now that I have the honor of being one of them, I understand how is that possible that so many men serve her.

Elsevier Mutiny: Cracks Are Widening in the Fortress of Academic Publishing

Nov 02, 2015

A prestigious academic journal has just experienced the closest thing to outright mutiny: All six editors and the entire editorial board of the well-respected linguistics journal Lingua resigned en masse last week. And the reason says a lot about the ongoing disruption taking place in the formerly sleepy world of academic publishing.

In many ways, academic publishers are going through the same kind of wrenching change that traditional media companies like newspaper and magazine publishers are. Subscription-based business models that worked for decades are coming apart at the seams, thanks in part to the web's ability to distribute content much more cheaply and broadly. And academia itself is becoming much more open as well.

As reported by Inside Higher Ed, all of the paid and volunteer staff at Lingua submitted their resignations last week and will stop working for the publication as soon as their existing contracts expire, which in most cases is the end of the year.

According to the journal's executive editor Johan Rooryck, the mass resignation is a way of protesting the business model of owner and publisher Elsevier — a subsidiary of London-based information giant RELX Group (relx), formerly known as Reed Elsevier. And the group hopes that its actions will encourage editorial staff at other journals to make the same kind of statement.

Elsevier mutiny

Like other academic publishers, Elsevier charges universities and researchers a hefty fee to access its journals, a price that can be as high as $2,000 per subscription. This model has come under fire from both academics and non-academics for some time, however, because it means that research — and in many cases, research that is funded by public grants — is unavailable to those who could make the best use of it.

In an email to Inside Higher Ed, Stefan Muller of the Free University of Berlin described the problem that many academics have with the current structure of the journal business:

"We have to publish in these journals, since our reputation is linked to prestigious publications. The problem is that... we are working for the publishers as reviewers (for free), we run the scientific parts of journals (often for free), we provide the content (for free) and they charge us enormous amounts for distributing the stuff."

Rooryck and the rest of his team say they have been trying to convince Elsevier to make Lingua an "open access" journal for some time, but the corporation has refused. Once their non-compete agreements expire, Rooryck said, the editorial staff plan to launch their own open-access linguistics journal called Glossa.

In a statement, Elsevier said it wished the editors and editorial board well, and would continue with Lingua under a new team. The company also said that the journal has a "range of open access options" and that it is committed to making it "widely available to the academic community."

Elsevier has been trying to add more open access features to its existing journals, but many academics believe it is moving too slowly. Critics also note that the company places onerous restrictions on those who publish in its journals, including embargo periods that in some cases can be as long as two years.

In addition to academics, a number of web-based publishers and startups are trying to disrupt the traditional publishing model, including open-access platforms like, which wants to be a combination of Facebook and LinkedIn for academics. Founder and CEO Richard Price started the company while doing a PhD in philosophy at Oxford, after he became frustrated with the slow pace of academic publishing.

Among other things, the company is trying to develop a replacement for the "peer review" system that most journals use. It recently announced a feature called PaperRank, which applies a ranking to a research paper after it's published by allowing other researchers to rate it, based on a number of criteria.

I believe in the 60/40 rule of thumb on weight distribution. Steering is much improved. I rode with a friend last summer that omitted a front rack, loading it all on the back. He popped 3 spokes in 2 days, eventually buying a new rear rim.

We had some adversity out there with routing and lodging that put us on US30. And I wasn't doing the routing, and I forgot to consult the traffic volume map, my bad.

Just finished my ride from Denver to Des Moines. Word of caution to anyone reading this for advice, US30 from Grand Island to Missouri Vally IA had some very dangerous sections. I was eventually blown into a ditch by 3 semis. 65mph 2-way road with shoulder that narrows to 24" in spots. No good.

I did WE from west to east solo in early September 2013. I planned on a night at Bullfrog to take the ferry across Lake Powell in the morning, only to find out the ferry was closed due to low water, resulting in the afore mentioned 128 mile day from Hanksville to Blanding. Don't plan on any services at Hite Marina, which is now dried up. It turned out to be the toughest, most exhilarating, most rewarding, most beautiful, biggest adventure day (into the evening) I've spent on my bike. I agree with the water advice. I typically drink 20 oz per 12-14 miles. I carried 2 additional 1 gallon Platypus canteens with me and ended the day with extra water. With the exception of CA, traffic was not an issue. In NV and UT stretches, I experienced a car every 20-30 minutes, enough to feel safe if I had to flag someone down. If you get through the Rockies of CO and UT, your legs and lungs will be in fine shape for the basins of UT, NV and CA. Taking the ferry from Vallejo and ending with the 6 mile paved trail ride to the Golden Gate Bridge would be a nice reward for a job well done.

I would like some route advice from you seasoned touring riders. Instead of finishing the Western Express in Pueblo, I have gone north to Denver. I now want to connect up with the Northern Tier in Iowa by way of Des Moines. If you've ridden across the great plains of northeastern CO and all of Nebraska, I would love to hear from you and your thoughts on route selection, good biking roads, etc. Thank you in advance.

My name is Scott and I live in the Twin Cities. I first got into long riding in 2000 when I did my first Heartland AIDS Ride... 6 days and 575 miles. After that I was bitten by the touring bug and have done several multi-day organized rides around the US, but was still hesitant to go unsupported. I finally went out solo last fall, CC touring from SF to Bryce Canyon on the Western Express, 830 miles over 12 days. It was a little scary, in a good way and ended up being very rewarding. Still riding and loving my 2000 Lemonde Tourmalet steel frame.

Routes / Re: WE Advice - Hanksville to Blanding
« on: August 18, 2013, 02:21:59 pm »

You mentioned this leg was your lowest average speed, do you recall what that number was? Last year I went from SF to Bryce with an overall speed of 9.3 mph (including stops). My toughest day last year was the 13 hours of climbing the Sierra Mountains, getting into Kirkwood just after sunset.

Also, do you recall what time you got into Blanding (aka... what time is sunset in early September in SE Utah)?

Credit Card touring the WE from Bryce UT to Pueblo CO this year. Looking at the AC maps, I'm scratching my head over the ride from Hanksville UT to Blanding UT, and could use some input from those of you who have experienced this area.

Option #1 is that I can do it in a one-day straight shot of 126 miles, but it would be a one-day straight shot of 126 miles... with no services :(

Option #2 is to do two days with an overnight stop at Defiance House in Bullfrog Marina. The downside to this routing is that due to the schedule of the ferry that crosses the Lake Powell, I wouldn't be able to start a century day until 11am, putting me in the dark riding into Blanding.

I stayed at The Border Inn on my CC tour last year. They are very welcoming and accommodating people. The only thing I would look for is their annual fundraising appreciation event they hold for the area students. I was there during the event last year and found sleep very difficult. I finally had enough and was on the road by 5am. I did speak to the hotel owner from Baker, and found him very polite, didn't slander against bikers at all.

View Full Version : Making a Lamborghini Muricelago, Partial low poly modeling

01-30-2006, 08:30 PM

Im sorry about the quality and my ramblings, but i am poor and my life does catch up with me even when i am just another alias in virtual reality. but here is my car tutorial, its a partial one, as you'll notice that my stress overtook me near the end as that is why this isnt finished, but what i had promised to my friens was to atleast get the hole roof and a piece of the back done, but oh well, please go here to my journal on Deviantart for the links to what you need to use the tutorial ok? later and enjoy.

my journal link is:

any questions, ask
um if you want to email me, my email is:
I used cinema 4d version 9, I dont like version 9.5 and i cant afford it either, so thats why i havent upgraded yet.

The reason why its a partial tutorial, is because i hate copy cats, my usual style is teaching someone how to make about 35-50% of the car then have them go off and use what they just learned and see what they end up with, I'm not too fond of accurate cars, if they are customized, even just a little bit, it tells me that the creator truly is an artist and not just another 3D modeler. but if its your dream to make an exact car, then by all means go ahead.

btw this is what i ended up with, its about 13322 quad polies:

an old man once told me a long time ago before he died:
"If you want to learn and become higher than what you are right now, you must first give away your most precious talents", this was from an old artist that i knew a long time ago, anyway i have given my most precious talent to the public and for free, which is car modeling tips, but in a video, now i hope that something good happens soon. well later.

but hey he probably just got it from a fortune cookie and modified it artistically.

Fps drops

So I've just upgraded from intel integrated graphics to an actual graphics card (gtx 750ti), and I'm experiencing fps drops, which didn't happened at all while playing on integrated graphics. Should I mess with the settins or something?

    My cousin bf but hated it and weaned early so made me feel bad that I am still doing it.
    it sounds like your cousin made her own personal choice about breastfeeding, and you have every right to make your own personal choice, even if it is a different choice. Just as it would not be appropriate for you or anyone else to chastise her about weaning when she did, it seems inapropriate for you to be chastised for nursing. I am talking about verbal chastising. The act of nursing your children has nothing to do with your cousin or anyone else except you and your children.

    If your cousin feels badly about not nursing longer, that is not your fault.

    I bf my now 2 1/2 year old for 2 years basically because my son will not drink cow's milk and formula is not even an option for me with all of the chemicals they put into it. So he held my breasts hostage a year longer than I had planned and only because I found out I am pregnant again did release them. His brother to come will pick up where he left off. I am enjoying the break though...lol.

How about an OBEX forum?

LoopyBytelooseLoopyByteloose Posts: 12,537
You might not take me seriously as somewhere between the new forum format, abandoning the SXes, and not making the OBEX catalog more precise - I've stopped buying Parallax Products.

It isn't as if I've stopped using them, it is just that OBEX is a drudge to use and my other suggestions to improve it seem to have been dismissed.

Still, an OBEX forum might help Parallax find a way to get it into a better, more pro-active mode.

    While I agree that the current state of the OBEX needs a lot of work, I believe Parallax is working on a new OBEX to dovetail with their Parallax Semiconductor initiative. I would counsel patience in this matter. I'm sure things will get better without the necessity of further agitation. :)

    Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

    -Antoine de Saint-Exupery

    We had many discussions at the galley table and there had been many honest attempts to understand each other's thinking. There are several kinds of reception possible. There is the mind which lies in wait with traps for flaws, so set that it may miss, though not grasping it, a soundness. There is a second which is not reception at all, but blind flight because of laziness, or because some pattern is disturbed by the processes of the discussion. The best reception of all is that which is easy and relaxed, which says in effect, "Let me absorb this thing. Let me try to understand it without private barriers. When I have understood what you are saying, only then will I subject it to my own scrutiny and my own criticism."  This is the finest of all critical approaches and the rarest.

    The smallest and meanest of all is that which, being frightened or outraged by thinking outside or beyond its pattern, revenges itself senselessly; leaps on a misspelled word or a mispronunciation, drags tricky definition in by the scruff of the neck, and, ranging like a small unpleasant dog, rags and tears the structure to shreds.

Why are they selling this as a Part 1 and not a complete package? Im assuming theres a Part 2 to come. Wasnt the original adaptation just a 4 issue mini series? How does that get stretched out into 2 films?

Produce Sale complete with shopping cart

A couple weeks before school started I was losing my patience with the girls and I needed something to occupy them for a day. I wanted something that would be fun, teach them something, and keep them focused all day: Produce Sale it is!
They spent the morning gathering flowers and produce from our garden. Luckily we had a shopping cart (awesome story for another post) to help us with our sale. We pushed the cart down the garden isles as we filled it up!
The girls made a little over $50! They sold:
What a beautiful day it was! I sent pictures out to family after the sale. Here's what my brother wrote to us:
"So cute Kate! Love that you're making little free market entrepreneurs out of them!"

I can't ever seem to get Lauryn to look at the camera! She so wiggly! But every time I look at Brooklyn she's already posing! Ha!

The food prep!
The flower boys!

The amazing center pieces! So much work went into these! They turned out so beautiful!

Took just a few minutes to take some shots of my cousins!

These truffles were divine!

Find Your Favorite Composer, Painter, or Author on Mercury

The MESSENGER mission (orbiting the little planet Mercury) is taking remarkable close-up images.  One of the most intriguing features seen in these pictures was recently named after one of my favorite composers -- Sergei Rachmaninoff.  Double-ringed crater Rachmaninoff, seen on the image I have attached, is about 180 miles across and seems relatively young.  Note how the central circle is smoother (has fewer smaller impact craters in it), which indicates to the mission scientists that volcanic flows from inside the planet may have covered that inside region after the original double crater formed.

Rachmaninoff, a Russian-born early-20th-century composer, wrote some of the most romantic pieces of classical music, including his wonderfully over-the-top Second Piano Concerto.  The story is told that (after the negative reviews of his first symphony), Rachmaninoff became depressed and unable to write further music.  Friends took him to see a psychologist who used hypnotic suggestion to convince Rachmaninoff that he was a great composer and would write a great piece of music.  The interaction with Dr. Dahl gave him a new measure of confidence and he wrote the second piano concerto, which would become his most famous and beloved composition.

By international agreement, craters on Mercury are named after "deceased artists, musicians, painters, and authors who have made outstanding or fundamental contributions to their field and have been recognized as historically significant figures for more than 50 years."

To see if your favorite composer, painter, or author has been honored with a crater on the planet Mercury, you can search for his or her name in the To see if your favorite composer, painter, or author has been honored with a crater on the planet Mercury, you can search for his or her name in the Advanced Search feature in the "Gazetteer of Planetary Nomenclature":

For target, select Mercury, for Feature Type, select "crater, craters." Then just type in your favorite composer, author, or painter into the Feature Name field. (Remember the people have to have been dead for a while, so don't look for living favorites, only for people whose reputations have become established after their deaths.)

Should MS Buy Up Security Exploits?

Slashdot is 99% crap, but on occasion there’s an interesting post.  This article from today points out the black market where exploits are auctioned off and posits that Microsoft ought to buy up those exploits.

I think that’s an interesting premise, and the poster brings up some of the interesting complexities surrounding the idea.

Regardless of where Microsoft is now with security, the idea is an intriguing one and might at least help patch up Microsoft’s perception as a company that doesn’t care about security.  (A perception I vehemently disagree with, BTW.)

1 comment:

Justin Kohnen said...

Man, if cracker could get paid for the security wholes they find, that would go worlds for Microsoft security. Can you imagine how eager you would be if you got paid $(x * 100.00) just for finding a weakness?

But I agree, Microsoft does care about security. In fact, I support with the statement "Windows is the most secure operating system."

Pick on those on top.

I'm sure security holes exist in OSX, and Linux, but they aren't exploited because 2% (random small number) of the world uses them.

When a Fake Banksy Is a Real Banksy

(Photo: Tim Fuller)

(Photo: Tim Fuller)

Many news outlets this week carried the story that Banksy, the celebrated British street artist, had set up an innocuous-looking booth near Central Park that offered original signed works for $60 each—despite their value being much closer to $60,000 apiece.  Even with this astounding discount, only a handful were sold—as this video, posted on Banksy’s website, shows:

What’s interesting to us is what this says about art and the role of copies. While copying is a huge concern in many art forms—especially music and film—in fine art, it is comparatively insignificant. In China, there are whole villages full of artisans devoted to copying the great masters of Western art, and certainly fakes and frauds are well known in the West as well. Yet there is not a thriving black market in Banksy knockoffs—or, for that matter, in the work of other major contemporary artists.  Why is that?

One might argue that original art somehow has a special quality because a brilliant artist made it with his or her hands. But since a lot of art is not really produced by the artist directly, but instead by assistants working on his or her guidance, it would seem that a very close copy of a valuable and aesthetically-interesting work should be almost as desirable as the real thing. (And we will put aside for the moment video and sound art, which, being digital, are perfectly suited to copying.) If one is simply buying art as an investment, provenance is clearly critical—and perhaps that is what drives a lot of the high-end art market. But for those who buy art for art’s sake (let’s assume those people exist), it is much less clear why it matters if the work is an original or a (very close) copy. This is especially true when originals can cost millions and copies a miniscule fraction.

In the case of Banksy’s booth, much of the media commentary presumed that the works were ignored by passersby because they were assumed to be fakes. Yet this only begs the question of why fakes are not desirable, given that very few of the people who walked by the booth—if any—could ever afford or would ever pay for the real thing. If you love Banksy’s work and style, $60 seems like an attractive price to pay for a well-executed fake.

One last point. An interesting thing about this story that hasn’t been addressed as much in the media commentary is that Walmart sells Bansky prints. And as you might expect from Walmart, the prices are very low. They can be had for even less than at the celebrated Banksy booth:  $57.99.

Your walmart link shows a $387 banksy print.

I think part of the problem for people walking by, is that if they know who Banksy is, and want a copy of his work, there are more convenient ways to purchase it than on a street corner in NYC where you now need to figure out how to get it home (subway, taxi, walk, etc.). You could buy a similar "copy" for a similar price from the comfort of your home on ebay or walmart and have it shipped right to your house.

If anything, this just shows the irrationality of the fine art market.

If people won't buy Banksy prints at $60, guess what? They're worth less than that, not 1000 times that.

Shane L

Exactly what I was thinking, Kazzy. There was a video going around some time ago of violin virtuoso Joshua Bell, dressed in baseball cap and t-shirt, busking. He earned $32 from the thousand people who passed by. People sharing this video on Facebook were blaming the crowd for not appreciating great music, pointing out that a ticket to his performances would be expensive.

Perhaps the real message is that people who buy tickets to his music don't do it because they love music, they do it to signal wealth or taste. Maybe the true value of his music is the $32 he managed to pick up from busking in front of over 1,000 people.

Well I'm being mean! I suppose Bell has earned the respect usually afforded him, and I do enjoy Banksy's imagination. Perhaps, though, Banksy's success has hit a positive feedback loop (accumulative advantage) where people value his work higher simply because of his celebrity. When his work is sold, minus the association with his celebrity, it reverts to a lower value in the eyes of consumers.

"Perhaps the real message is that people who buy tickets to his music don’t do it because they love music [...]"

Or, perhaps, the real message is exactly the opposite: you buy a ticket to a musical performance to hear the performance at a time that is more convenient and in a setting that is more conducive to listening enjoyment, than you get on a street corner, or crowded train station platform, etc.

What matters to the vast majority of art collectors (if not all of them) is not the art itself, but the ego gratification/acceptance into the inner circle of "art" collectors. A work without provenance is worthless, because it does not show that you could afford to spend a large sum of money to obtain it. I, lacking the cachet of being a recognized "artist", would have trouble giving my unmade bed or old fishing trophy away for free on Craigslist. Other individuals, having been made part of the inner circle of the (con) art world, have sold things nearly identical for millions, to those who want to be accepted into that world, or who cynically prey on those who do.

Then too, we might ask about the percentage of passers-by who would even recognize the name, or the art, outside of the context of a gallery. After all, what exactly is the difference between this Banksy, and many another sidewalk artist? That Banksy's output gets into galleries, and is sold for large sums, no? So if it's not in a gallery with a big price tag on it, it can't possibly be a genuine Banksy, now can it?

Scott Grimmer (MileValue)

Great post, but I think the presumption that no one bought because they thought the works were fake is silly. Few people bought because few people value that art at over $60. If you couldn't sell the work, and you couldn't brag to your friends that a work was a Banksy, what would you pay for those little works? I bet most people would say zero or under $20.

Most likely, none of the people walking by knew who Bansky is. If this experiment had been done at an art gallery, and had been advertized beforehand to the art community, there might have been a lot more buyers. Even if the market for art is large, it is still a very small percentage of the general population. Likewise, if a table was set up on a corner selling Sebenzas for $50, not many would sell, whereas, it it were advertised properly, you could sell thousands at that price (assuming they were real, of course ).

I buy art directly from artists because I want them to make a living of their art.

The problem start when fakes are sold as originals which has happened with Banksy prints a lot and police got involved.

I do think the allure is that an artist or his studio did the work and not some guy (or Walmart) trying to make a quick buck on the back of the artist.

I think it is also safe to say that the early images by Banksy (straight up B/W stencils) probably don't appeal to the average bypasser.

Techincially, that "Walmart" print is being sold through Walmart by a third party.

I would think that one reason Banksy copies are less popular because he does graffitti art and the environment is as important as the design itself.

Posts and comments like this thread are why I love this blog! Fascinating. My thought, simply put:

A high price is often the reason people buy something that is subjective in nature. A high price is a value proposition in and of itself. In my small business, I used to compete on price -- offering more for less. All I got was bottom feeders and headaches. Once when I was fully booked and had no time for new clients, I jacked up my prices to WAY over the top end of the market -- and I was amazed that MORE people wanted my services -- the very same services I'd been selling at bargain-basement prices. My new price was ridiculously high. Which made people want it. It made them curious -- "why are his fees so high?" And it made them value my services more, simply because they PAID more. But it doesn't always work that way, and pricing is as irrational as human nature.

Yeah, it's just another version of the cheap wine in expensive bottle trick. The great majority of those willing and able to pay exorbitant prices for a label either can't tell the difference in a blind test, or actually prefer the cheap stuff.

Apropos of which, check out the price of an empty Pappy van Winkle bourbon bottle.

Erin Percival Carter

George Newman and Paul Bloom have interesting thoughts on exactly this. They boil down artistic valuation to perception of the creation as a unique performance and degree of contact (contagion) with the artist. It's a nice paper: http://www.yale.edu/minddevlab/papers/art-and-authenticity.pdf

Gregory Pearson

Yeah, if I could buy an original Banksy for $60 I probably would, but to resell, not to hang on my wall.

What it may also say is that what the art establishment defines as great art has little relationship to what people actually like.

Dave Cicirelli

You may want to check out our artist response / social experiment to this.

We saw an opportunity to make a statement about hype, persona, and the value of art with our Fake Banksy booth. We went to the same location a week later , and sold certified "Fake Banksy" canvases for the same price. We sold out in an hour.

And… it’s safe. President Obama says so.

As Flint’s water crisis drags on, and officials expect a period of two years to replace the city’s corroded pipes, President Obama has become a pitchman to quell the population’s worries and take the pressure off of Flint leaders, despite plenty of evidence of negligence and corruption.

Obama even took a drink, as so many stumping political figures have over the years, after an awkward speech that almost gave the impression that lead isn’t so bad – because people who grew up before EPA laws on lead still “did really well” in life.

The Detroit Free Press reported:

President Obama drank from a glass of what he said was filtered Flint water at a Flint food bank Wednesday as he vouched for the safety of certified filters and encouraged most city residents to start drinking filtered water instead of bottled water.

“If you’re using a filter … then Flint water at this point is drinkable,” Obama said after taking a drink of filtered water.

The President jokingly acknowledged that he himself may have ingested some paint chips as a kid, and that lead affects individual children differently… defying clear data on lead’s brain damaging toxicity.

In fact, it looks like all the “special kids” in Flint are poised to become achievers in spite of the lead issues (somebody check George Carlin’s grave for spinning), and I guess all the out-of-work and down-on-their-luck people in the deindustrialized and rotting area are in for a better day.

Here’s part of the transcript from Obama’s ludicrous speech:

I think people are understandably scared when they hear that their child may have ingested some lead, it may have gotten into their system, and that that may have some long-term impacts or create particular challenges for kids. But it is really important for all of us to remember that kids are resilient. And every kid in Flint is special, and has capacity, and can do great things. And the fact that they may have had some drinking water that was contaminated doesn’t automatically mean somehow that they’re going to have huge problems or that they’re not going to be able to reach that potential.

And so for the parents who are out there, I want to emphasize: Get your child checked, but be confident that your child can thrive and will be fine as long as you know what they need, and know how to access the resources that they need. It’s useful to remember, just to keep things in perspective, that the laws banning lead paint in homes and reducing the lead that was in our environment, those laws really were put in place just a generation ago.

When I was five or six or seven, a lot of homes still had lead paint in it. I might have ingested some lead paint when I was two or three years old, because at the time, people didn’t know it. So we’ve got an entire couple of generations of Americans who have done really well despite the fact that they may have had something that is not optimal. And how lead interacts with any particular child is going to be different, and what each child needs is going to be different. And some kids are going to be fine, and they’re not going to be affected. Some kids may have more of an — it might have more of an effect.

Generally I don’t do stunts, but here you go. (Takes a sip of water.) Now, this had a filter on it. The water around this table was Flint water that was filtered.And it just confirms what we know scientifically, which is that if you’re using a filter, if you’re installing it, then Flint water at this point is drinkable. That does not — I want to repeat — negate the need for us to go ahead and replace some of these pipes, because ultimately you want a system in which you don’t have to put a filter on it in order to be assured that it’s safe.

But as a short-term measure, this is the right thing to do. And, frankly, it’s going to be a lot more convenient than people traveling long distances to try to lug back a bunch of bottled water. All right?

Everyone feel better now? The President has spoken, and his word is gold.

By the way, the Chicago Tribune warned back in 2011 that many of the most common water filter brands aren’t living up to expectation:

Many consumers may assume that filtering their water will make it safe to drink. But when it comes to lead, many popular pitchers with built-in filters, including Brita and PUR, don’t reduce lead enough to meet current standards.

If you bought a filtering pitcher before 2007, it may have been marketed as reducing lead. But that was before the industry standards required that filters be able to remove lead particles as well as dissolved lead.

Hopefully those standards have improved since that time.

In the meantime, the residents of Flint, and the nation more generally, have been screwed and lied to yet again. And typically, the watchdogs and authorities are quick to sweep it under the rug and keep people calm with B.S. talking points.

Milk (Cup) is Good for You

The future is bright. The future is yellow.
Here at From the Rookery End we take a keen interest in Watford's youth development, so we were delighted to learn that podcast listener Colin Cowan was at the Milk Cup tournament in Northern Ireland. We were even happier when he kindly agreed to share his views on the Watford side that took part with us, and here he gives us his top 3 players from the tournament.

As we hoped, it looks like the future is bright...

Last week the Watford  U15 side took part in the prestigious Milk Cup Tournament in Northern Ireland. After suffering penalty heartache in the semi-final, they managed to clinch third spot after a convincing 6-2 victory over Liverpool.

Having watched the team for three out of the five days this week, I have decided who my top 3 players from the side are, ones that in years to come could go on to feature in our first team...

3. Michael Folivi - The young striker has had an impressive week, showing a great partnership with fellow striker Ogo Obi. They showed a great example of this in the build-up to the first goal in the semi-final. He also knows where the back of the net is as he scored in the opening game against County Down and also in the convincing 10-0 win over San Luis de Colina.

2. Panos Armenakas – The left winger showed some fantastic skill in the semi-final against Everton. After scoring the first with a wonderful right footed low shot, he played a fabulous ball to Folivi in the build-up to the second goal. I feel in Armenakas we have got a real talent on our hands. I think he has a great chance of making it into the first team in the new few years, despite his young age. His 3 goals in 4 games for a left midfielder is not a bad return. He also takes all of the sides set pieces and showed he is an excellent crosser of the ball. He has very quick feet and showed time and time again that he likes to take on defenders. At times he would take on three defenders and still come out with the ball stuck to his feet!

1. Ogo Obi – This young striker certainly knows how to put the ball in the back of the net! His return of 10 goals in 5 games is just fantastic. He started with three consecutive braces followed by a fantastic free kick in the semi-final. He ended the tournament with a hat trick, including scoring the game winning goal. In the opening game he scored after 7 seconds and he followed that up in the next game by scoring after 35 seconds, this one a delightful chip over the keeper. Throughout the tournament he showed that when one on one with the keeper he is unstoppable! He is certainly my player of the week.

Other players that impressed and were very tough to leave out of my top 3 were David Sesay, who scored a brilliant hat trick in the game against San Luis de Colina. In the centre of midfield, Max Makaka was very impressive, showing some lovely touches and he isn’t afraid of having a shot at goal! The centre back pairing of Jacob Cook and Connor Stevens were also very impressive, both commanding centre backs who like to play the ball out from the back instead of getting rid of it at the first attempt.

The week was a very successful one for everyone involved. The team played some fabulous football, mirroring the style of play that we saw week in week out at Vicarage Road last season. I wouldn't be surprised if the three mentioned make it into the first team in the next couple of years. They still have a long way to go but they are certainly on the right path!
