Expedition Denali: The first all-black team to climb America's tallest mountain
June 7, 2013 Bani Amor	11 Comments
IN THE YEARS I've spent climbing mountains, descending into canyons, and generally getting into all sorts of adventures, I've rarely run into another person of color in the outdoors.
by BANI AMOR June 7th 2013 Originally published on Matador Network. Please comment and share!
Skimming through the travel glossies that so captured my young imagination revealed images of white people doing what society defined as white people things: hiking, camping, climbing. This vague and at once startlingly direct message from travel media and society at large left an impression on me — a Latino city kid — of total exclusion.
Despite the lack of role models in the outdoors industry, I flung myself into it, with hopes that the next generation of youth of color would find a wild world waiting for them if they only were given the opportunity. If they just saw one other person like them doing it, too. It was after hearing about Expedition Denali that I finally felt like this could become a reality.
This June, 100 years to the month after the highest point in North America, Mt. McKinley (Denali), was first successfully ascended, the first team of African-American climbers will attempt the summit. Besides making history, their expedition can pave the way for a new generation of young people of color to get outside and become stewards of America's wild places. Thanks to the success of their Kickstarter campaign, a documentary film crew will be chronicling their journey, and a book is in the works.
I recently had the chance to speak with team member and 20-year-old alpinist Rosemary Saal, to talk about inspiring diversity in the outdoors with Expedition Denali.

BA: How long until the expedition now?
RS: Just short of two weeks! I can't believe it.
BA: How do you feel now that it's so close?
RS: "Pumped" is the first word that comes to mind! Nerves are definitely building up a bit as well, but mostly nervous excitement.BA: On other expeditions — comprising mostly white folks — they've got to overcome the altitude, cold, physical exhaustion, etc. They've got to climb the mountain. But you guys are representing your race and, you know, climbing the mountain. And not just any mountain — a 20,320 foot-high one. Do you feel the pressure?RS: Only slightly, I'll admit. The media attention is the main source of pressure, just knowing that the entire expedition will be meticulously documented. But then I remember that this pressure-inducing-exposure will greatly help the whole purpose of the project, and my confidence in this team is reassured.BA: You're definitely following through with what seems to be the goal of the project, to get the word out and inspire other people of color, mostly young African-Americans, to get out 'into the wild.' A 2010 survey revealed that over 80% of Americans who engage in outdoor activities are white. Any idea as to why that is?
RS: I feel that many people of color have the mentality that we do not "belong" in the outdoors. When the sport was first being developed and explored, the traditional participant was a white male. For some reason, this image has stuck in the minds of many and in actuality has not changed significantly.
Many people of color [in my life] have even jokingly claimed that my urge to explore the outdoors myself is the "white" side of me, following that up with "people of color don't do that."
BA: As a teenager into punk rock, I was branded as being into "white people stuff" by family and friends. Maybe some POC are hesitant about losing their 'race badge' or something. Like it's easier to fully belong to one community than take the initiative to be different and risk not really belonging to any group. Is Expedition Denali trying to change that story?
RS: Absolutely! It is stereotypes and labels such as those that perpetuate the notion that POC do not have a place in the outdoors or the means to embrace nature. We seek to shift that view, or at least begin to.
BA: You're breaking down all sorts of boundaries. Your team is incredibly diverse — from teenagers to elders from all over the States, many of whom are women and mixed-race folks. You represent a whole range of the Afro-diaspora.
RS: We most definitely do! I am very proud to be a part of the diversity within this team.
BA: It's very refreshing. On the other end, I was a bit surprised that in James Mills' Nat Geo profile of you guys, he felt compelled (by an onslaught of 'post-racial' rhetoric from the majority white climbing community) to explain the critical necessity of an expedition of this sort. Have you had to answer to comments like that, too?
RS: The team has had to answer to such comments, yes. There are a few skeptics out there who do not see the necessity or significance of this expedition.
BA: What do you say to them? Or is the message of this expedition just not for them?
RS: We simply acknowledge and stress that this expedition aims to change the views of one aspect of the outdoor industry. While there are many issues involving ethnicity, socioeconomic class, etc. concerning the industry, it would be an entirely different story to tackle and make an impact on them all.
BA: They should look at the facts: By 2018 the majority of youth in the United States will be of color. Considering that most of them are not spending much time outdoors, a message of inclusion would seem imperative to any environmentalist or climber.
RS: Absolutely, a message of inclusion and a set of role models.
BA: Considering all this stigma, how did you first get involved in climbing?
RS: My involvement in climbing proceeded quite naturally. I always enjoyed climbing on anything I could get my hands on practically since I could walk. I was fortunate to be exposed to resources in an environment that introduced me to technical and more "official" climbing opportunities before I was really aware of the stigma.
BA: The way it should be.
RS: Exactly! I totally agree. That is one of the reasons I'm particularly excited to spread the message of Expedition Denali to youth of color. Hopefully they can see this story and realize their ability to get outside before being exposed to the stigma surrounding this topic.
BA: Finally, what does it mean to you personally to be a part of Expedition Denali?
RS: Personally, this expedition means a lot to me. On a personal level, it is a huge physical challenge to accomplish…
Most importantly, however, I am really looking forward to being a role model, to going out and providing an example of how POC truly do belong in the outdoors as well. I had wonderful role models and mentors when I was first getting involved in climbing. I wish to be that person, inspiring and encouraging the next generation the way I was inspired and encouraged.
BA: You're only 20 and about to make history by ascending the highest point in North America in the first afro-centric expedition. No biggie, no presh…
RS: I know right?! It's absolutely bonkers! I could not be more stoked.
BA: It's a very vivid, beautiful metaphor. In a way, you're carrying a lot of folks — folks like us — to the summit with you. It sounds like you see that as more of an honor than a burden.
RS: I really do. I am so incredibly fortunate and grateful to be a part of this movement. How could I see it any other way?
BA: Word. I'm stoked too, and honored that you took the time out of your training to talk today. Say hi to Denali for me! I know you'll do an awesome job.
RS: Thanks girl! I will most definitely send your regards.

What a great story! This is the first I've heard about this expedition and I'm already clicking around to learn more. Just a couple of weeks ago I was hiking with some friends and we passed a Hispanic family on the trail, which got us talking about how rare it is to see any non-white hikers on the trails in our part of Colorado (where the Hispanic population is huge). The positive thing is that we all agreed that in recent years we have seen more POC on the trails, though still few and far between, so hopefully things are moving in the right direction. It'll be such a positive thing for this strange stigma to be shattered by groups like Expedition Denali and hopefully to get more kids of ethnicities out in the wild!
Bani Amor says:
Yes, right on!
Still Times says:
Loved the article! Thank you for heightening awareness to the lack of diversity in ventures such as climbing. I guess for me, I've never really thought about diversity or lack of in certain sports. Thanks!
iliketoplayindirt says:
Good for you! Keep pushing forward and don't look back!
dangernate says:
Great post, and this is a super exciting expedition. I spent 30 days with NOLS in the Alaskan Chugach mountains several years ago and had an awesome time. Also, I agree entirely that we need diverse role models in the outdoor industry. In this same vein, check out Ryan Hudson's story — he's on Denali as we speak.
Just read Hudson's HuffPost interview: incredible story. NOLS sounds awesome; hadn't really heard of them before ED. Thanks!
writeanne says:
Wow what a great expedition. All the best to those taking part. And what a super blog you have here, Bani.

Great subject. I guess I believed this was true before traveling a lot, and I still think it holds in the U.S. But when I saw plenty of locals throughout Latin America mountaineering, diving, etc. etc., then in Africa saw plenty of locals doing the same, I sort of forgot about the bias. But in the U.S. media you see mostly white people doing it because it's mostly white people that buy the gear. That's starting to change though, even here in the U.S. I think in Europe it might be similar to the U.S. but it's been a long time since I've been there.
Def. I live in South America and hike, camp, travel, etc. with other Latinos, but the U.S. is so different.

La centrale hydroélectrique de Búrfell (Búrfellsstöð ou Búrfellsvirkjun en islandais) est une centrale hydroélectrique au fil de l'eau située dans la vallée de la Þjórsá, au sud-ouest de l'Islande. Elle est exploitée par Landsvirkjun. Ce fut, depuis sa construction, en 1969, jusqu'à la construction de la centrale de Kárahnjúka, en 2008, la plus importante centrale électrique d'Islande avec une puissance de 270 MW (portée à 370 MW en 2018).

Elle fut principalement construite pour fournir de l'électricité à une usine d'aluminium située à Straumsvík, à 3 km à l'ouest de Hafnarfjörður.

Histoire
L'idée d'exploiter l'énergie de la Þjórsá au niveau de la montagne Búrfell a été proposée en 1917. Pendant deux ans, l'ingénieur norvégien Gotfred Sætersmoen a mené une étude sur le développement de l'hydroélectricité dans la région de la Þjórsá. Il proposa alors cinq stations, celle de Búrfell étant de loin la plus importante.

En 1960, le projet fut considéré sérieusement. Un projet d'une telle ampleur pourrait être économiquement très intéressant si l'électricité pouvait être utilisée rapidement, mais la consommation islandaise n'augmentait pas assez vite pour que le projet soit viable. Le pays eut alors l'idée de fournir cette électricité à des industries très consommatrices en énergie. En 1966, un accord fut signé avec Alusuisse pour la construction de l'usine d'aluminium à Straumsvík et le feu vert fut donné pour la centrale.

La construction débute en juin 1966. La centrale commence à livrer son courant en 1969, avec la mise en service de 3 turbines de 35 MW chacune. La capacité est doublée en 1972 avec la mise en service des trois dernières turbines, portant la puissance installée à 210 W. La centrale connait une rénovation entre 1997 et 1999, qui porte sa puissance à 270 MW.

Extension
Dans les années 2010, le projet connait une extension importante, avec la construction par Landsvirkjun d'une deuxième centrale hydroélectrique non loin de l'existante. Il s'agit d'une réponse à l'augmentation observée du débit de la Þjórsá : celle-ci est en effet alimentée en grande partie par l'eau de fonte des glaciers, dont le volume est en hausse tendancielle du fait du réchauffement climatique. Le débit moyen des fleuves islandais devrait encore augmenter de 15% entre 2015 et 2050.

Les travaux de l'extension, nommée Búrfell II, débutent au printemps 2016, pour une durée de deux ans. D'une puissance installée de 100 MW, la centrale est inaugurée le 28 juin 2018 en présence du président islandais Guðni Th. Jóhannesson.

Caractéristiques

Barrage
La centrale exploite un basin versant de , offrant un débit annuel moyen de . Un barrage long de 370 m permet de détourner le cours de la Þjórsá, qui avant contournait par le sud la montagne Búrfell. Il a donné naissance à une petite retenue, le lac Bjarnalón, d'une superficie de 1,18 km². Son altitude fluctue entre 241 et 247 m.

Centrale Búrfell I
Depuis le lac de Bjarnalón, l'eau rejoint une galerie d'amenée de  de long pour 10 m de diamètre. Après une chute de 115 m dans une conduite forcée pressurisée, elle rejoint la centrale où elle actionne 6 turbines Francis de 45 MW chacune. Le débit d'équipement total est de . L'eau est ensuite relâchée à proximité de Hjálparfoss, où elle rejoint la Þjórsá pour retrouver son cours habituel. La production électrique atteint  en moyenne.

Centrale Búrfell II
La deuxième centrale, souterraine, comporte une unique turbine Francis de 100 MW, fournie par Andritz. La centrale est toutefois conçue pour pouvoir accueillir une addition de 40 MW à l'avenir. L'eau, issue de la même retenue que pour la centrale historique, transite par une galerie d'amenée de 370 m de long, puis chute de 110 m dans la conduite forcée. Le débit turbinable est de . En sortie de la centrale, elle est évacuée via une galerie de fuite de 450 m de long, puis rejoint en surface le cours principal de la Þjórsá via un canal de 2,2 km.

La production électrique de l'extension devrait avoisiner .

Our First Look At Zazie Beetz as Domino in "Deadpool 2"
By Brian Richards | Marvel Movies | July 31, 2017 |
As if today's events at the White House weren't enough to provide us with some entertainment on this Monday afternoon and make us raise an eyebrow before laughing our asses off in disbelief, we also got our first look at Zazie Beetz (who plays Vanessa a.k.a. Van on the FX series Atlanta) as Domino in the upcoming Deadpool 2, which arrives in theaters on June 1, 2018.
Some people just know how to work a red carpet. #Domino #DeadPool2 pic.twitter.com/llCc8JfKT6
— Ryan Reynolds (@VancityReynolds) July 31, 2017
Which of course is a tribute to this photo from the original promo campaign for Deadpool.
Only this time, Deadpool is playing the role of bearskin rug.
(cue Jodi telling any and all people to move out of her damn way so she can properly Kermit-flail at this news like so…)
For those of you who aren't entirely familiar with Domino or who she is, let the good people at Wikipedia fill you in:
Domino is actually the result of a top-secret government breeding program intended to develop the perfect weapon. Domino was the only test subject to survive, but her "luck" power was deemed a failure at meeting the project's goals. Her biological mother broke her out of the project and left her with Father Rudolpho Boschelli in the Church of the Sacred Heart in Chicago…Domino is a mutant with the ability to subconsciously and psionically initiate random telekinetic acts that affect probability in her favor by making improbable (but not impossible) things occur within her line of sight, thus causing her to have "good luck" and her opponents to have "bad luck." This "probability field" phenomenon can be anything from an enemy's equipment failure to hitting just the right switch with a stray shot to shut down an overloading nuclear reactor. The full extent of her powers is still unknown.
This subconsciously controlled talent is triggered when she is in a stressful situation (such as fighting or escaping). This effect constantly emanates from her body at all times and is completely subconscious. However, it is also largely participatory—in order for the luck to take effect, Domino herself must engage in an action whose chance she can affect.
For example, if debris falling from the sky was about to hit her in the head, she would still be hurt if she stood still. However, if she tried to avoid it, she would move perfectly to avoid each and every piece about to hit her. In addition, if Domino were to stand before a hail of bullets she would be a bullet-riddled corpse. Instead, she must take action, attempting to avoid the gunfire, and would miraculously bob-and-weave just perfectly to avoid every single shot.
As a byproduct of her abilities, Domino's cerebral cortex emits a current of bioelectric pulses down her spine to instinctively guide her movements during such situations, which has the added effect of augmenting her natural reflexes and reactions to superhuman levels.
Fingers crossed that this young boy turns out to be one of her opponents in Deadpool 2.
If that face looks familiar to you, then you'll know why it's so damn freaky to look at.
And if that face doesn't look familiar to you, then you need to catch up on Atlanta right after you look upon this face and despair.

Nanoscale pores can be used to examine the structure and dynamics of individual DNA or RNA molecules. Compared to other single-molecule techniques (e.g., optical tweezers,1 atomic force microscopy,2 and fluorescence energy transfer3), nanopore detection techniques are unique in their ability to rapidly sample nucleic acid from solution. This chapter will focus on DNA detection experiments using the protein ion channel a-hemolysin. Single-molecule DNA detection using ionic current measurements was first demonstrated using this nanopore detector prototype4-9 (for review of the biophysical properties, see Meller10). Subsequent technical improvements revealed sequence-dependent DNA interaction with the a-hemolysin pore.11-23 However, the biological detector lacks the robustness required for a standardized analytical instrument. To address this issue, several investigators are developing solidstate nanoscale pores24-33 that can detect DNA and that may have utility in high-speed DNA sequencing.


In some inexplicable way I discovered this blog, Good Morning Manifestation, and enjoy every single post that I read. Unfortunately I can't read every one, but every one that I read has so much to learn. Thank you, Mr ACOsberg!
In this post he writes about the fear of success and oh, I can relate with it! He writes that so many people live with the fear of success and as a result of that, they don't become the persons they are meant to be. All of us lives in a comfort zone and it is very difficult to try a step outside that zone.
In his book, The Dream Giver, Bruce Wilkinson challenges us to take a step outside our comfort zone. Yes, it really isn't easy, especially not the first step, but when you start doing this, wonderful things happen!
As ACOsberg writes in his blog post, the first thing we have to do is to admit that we have this fear. I only can talk about myself. While I still denied it, while I still lived comfortably in my comfort zone, everything stayed the same in my old, boring life, but when I admitted the hidden fear, I could address it. What really works for me, is taking small steps. One yes at a time, and the yes must be still comfortable, okay, perhaps a little uncomfortable, but still manageable. Then, when I feel ready for a next little step outside my comfort zone, the one that changed a little bit because of my previous brave step, I take a deep breath and try another tiny step outside my comfort zone. Then, the next one.
And do you know what is happening? I am developing! I develop new skills and self-confidence. I start to believe in myself which cause that I start taking bigger steps and even more bigger steps, and when I look back to years ago to where I have started, I can't believe that I came so far.
Wilkinson warns us not to become too comfortable in the 'new' comfort zone, because then it is time again to try a next step again, and in the process you extend the zone in which you feel comfortable.
Do you have a fear of success? Not? If you have it, take the brave step and admit it. But, even if you don't have that fear, try a tiny step outside your comfort zone. You'll be surprised!
Some anonymous person said: Great things never come from comfort zones!
And I have to admit, writing in English on my blog is 3 steps outside my comfort zone. It is getting dangerous out here!
‹ PreviousWie het my betaal?
Well said; there is a lot of truth in this philosophy and I am very pleased for you for coming this far.
Great post! Really enjoyed the interwoven inputs… Excellent example of how it should be done. Thank you Toortsie.
Well thank you very much for being so brave, now we can converse in English!!! The question I ask myself is; Do I want to be in the limelight? and the answer is an easy "No." I would like to live out my full potential, but I do not for one moment believe I was made for the limelight….. unless it was as a "character" on stage.
My I please answer in Afrikaans? Kameel, net gister het ek vir iemand gesê ek hou van aandag, maar nie die limelight nie. Die tv storie is nie regtig my manier van doen nie. Die geluk is dat ons onsself kan verbreed of waag, sonder om die kollig te vang. Sommer net vir onsself.
Ek glo ook dat 'n mens nooit moet ophou groei en leer nie. Maar aikona die limelight 😊 Vir my vriendin gesê ons moet saam die hemel binnestap…. ek nie lus dat alle oë op my gevestig is wanneer ek daar instap nie. Jy mag maar lag…. of frons.
Die Here sal iemand stuur om jou hand vas te hou. Ek glo byvoorbeeld dit sal my broer wees.
Dit is 'n mooi gedagte!!
Kameel, ek glo dit met my hele hart na aanleoding van 'n boek wat ek gelees het. Maar dit sal in elk geval wonderlik wees, hoe ook al.
Wow, you are really stepping out of your comfort zone! I am impressed. I'll have a look at Good Morning Manifestation too.
'n Pragtige foto van jou !
Ek gaan nie met jou Ingels praat nie, ek is te honger vir Afrikaans. Dankie hiervoor, Toortsie. Jy het 'n hele paar goed oor waagmoed gesê, wat ek gerus maar kan onthou. Even it was out of your comfort zone and in English.
I can easily say that I am guilty of staying within my comfort zone when is comes to certain things when I know I should branch out more.


We know from today's events that the handset is running the new Snapdragon 855 platform with X50 5G modem.
T-Mobile is also developing its 5G network with an estimated roll-out of 2020.
On Monday, Verizon and Samsung said they plan to bring a 5G smartphone to the USA market in the first half of 2019.
AT&T will sell a 5G Samsung smartphone. The U.S.is only slightly behind South Korea in enabling 5G for consumers, as TechRadar reports that three South Korean operators launched their 5G networks for enterprise consumers in parts of major cities. The Samsung Galaxy S10, for instance, is expected to be one of the first flagship smartphones with 5G, although mobile chief DJ Koh has hinted at another 5G-specific device to launch even earlier than that. The company states that the new mobile platform features their fourth-generation, multi-core AI Engine with up to 3 times the AI performance compared to the Snapdragon 845. Verizon launched the world's first commercial 5G home broadband service.
Very little is known about the device, except that it's used to showcase 5G video streaming, but judging from the photos, it appears that the phone's selfie camera is located within the notch. By mid-2019, AT&T plans to bring the 5G bonanza to a further seven cities across the USA, though as with the original 12 take the 5G coverage claims with a pinch of salt. At first, 5G's rollout is likely to be slow and gradual, with only a few devices having 5G connectivity at first, and it'll only be available in a few markets initially. That said, it's certainly interesting that Samsung has been thinking about adding this feature not only to smartphones, but also other devices.
On top of that, Qualcomm also mentioned support for the new Qualcomm 3D Sonic Sensor. The 3D Sonic Sensor will use ultrasonic waves to register fingerprints, which is said to be more accurate and reliable than similar in-display fingerprint sensors you'd find on phones like the OnePlus 6T.

Velino Herrera
Velino Shije
Zia Pueblo, New Mexico
born Zia Pueblo, NM 1902-died Santa Fe, NM 1973
Another Pueblo artist described Herrera (Zia Pueblo), also known by this Indian name of Ma Pe Wi, as the "singing artist" because as he drew, Herrera would sing songs appropriate for the ceremony he was depicting. Herrera gave permission to the state of New Mexico to adapt the design of the Zia sun symbol for use as the state logo. The red design on a yellow field can be seen on the state flag, seal, and license plates. The artist received some criticism from other members of the Zia community for betraying his people by giving the traditional Pueblo design to non-Indians.
With Awa Tsireh, Herrera painted under the sponsorship of the School of American Research and in the late 1930s, Herrera taught painting at the Albuquerque Indian School. In 1939 he was commissioned to create a series of murals for the Department of the Interior building in Washington, D.C. He spent much of his life as a rancher and cowboy.Andrew Connors Pueblo Indian Watercolors: Learning by Looking, A Study Guide (Washington, D.C.: National Museum of American Art, 1993).
Born at Zia Pueblo, New Mexico, Herrera was a self-taught artist whose painting career began in 1917 at the School of American Research in Santa Fe. His subjects included native dances, genre scenes from the pueblos, portraits, and hunting scenes. As his work grew in breadth and confidence, his style changed from flat, patternlike compositions to more naturalistic representations, often with a delicate rendering of texture and detail. In 1938 he rporduced ancient kiva murals found at Kuau (near Bernalillo, New Mexico). He also painted murals for the Department of the Interior building in Washington, D.C., and illustrated several books on Pueblo life and art. With his skillful blend of tradition and innovation, Ma-Pe-Wi became one of the most highly regarded figures in the Indian watercolor movement.

Q: Entity Framework code first seems confused on my dbo table names after I tweaked the migration file I've just begun using Entity Framework 5 (Code First Migrations). I think my issue may just be a given to someone that's worked with this a bit longer than I have (this is our first project giving it a go).
I have 3 tables involved. One is a cross reference table. The gist of the classes is as follows:
public class Person
{
      //person properties
      public virtual List<Roles> Roles {get;set;}
}

public class Role
{
      //Role properties
      public virtual List<Person> Persons {get;set;}
}

Adding a migration here lead to a file where EntityFramework proposed a table name of:
    CreateTable(
        "dbo.PersonRoles"...

I changed this to:
    CreateTable(
        "dbo.PersonRolesXRef"...

That worked. The database updated and all that good stuff; however, when I do:
foreach(var role in Person.Roles() )
{
...
}

I get an inner exception that reads:
"Invalid object name 'dbo.PersonRoles' ..."

It seems like EF is unaware that I changed the name of the table even though that's in the migration file. Do I need to add an annotation somewhere?

A: You're running into the naming convention that Code First is setup to expect. Except in rare occasions, you should never modify the automatically generated mirgration files.
If you want to change the table name of your cross reference table, you'll need to create a third entity:
[Table("PersonRolesXRef")]
public class PersonRoles {
    public virtual Person Person { get; set; }
    public virtual Role Role { get; set; }
}

This will let you control the many-to-many table that Entity Framework creates. Then use the TableAttribute to set what you want the table name to be in SQL.

After a ridiculously quick trip to the supermarket, my daughter and I ran through your drive through. Being that we are Americans, we appreciate the occasional trip to one of your coffee bars like the good treat it should be. While there though, I have to admit you disappointed me.
Well, no, it wasn't my chai latte or the drink my teenage daughter chose.
It was, instead, your holiday plans. Thanksgiving? Christmas? Is it REALLY a vital necessity that you insist your stores are open for BOTH holidays? Really?
C) having to go to work at midnight, on black Friday and stay til God knows when, witnessing the out of control gorging of complete strangers.
Starbucks, YOU are responsible for furthering the chaos.
Granted, it isn't all your fault, but when a company like you- known for bringing jobs, supporting fair trade and being an all around fairly (I said fairly, critics) stand up company- you manipulate a weak minded and influential society to corporate worship you. Other companies do it too, so don't get your knickers all twisted because I am singling you out.
I am singling you out because I really thought you were better than this.
Who will finally ignore the bottom line and put an end to the madness? To the camping out for cheaply manufactured electronics and rushed dinners so that you can be the first in line at the biggest sale?
Remind me why we bother with Thanksgiving at all?
As we start the holiday season, where is the good will? The Peace to all?
I did ask our Starbucks why in the world they were open, and in a very sad voice the manager told us that you corporately polled a variety of customers and they unanimously "voted" for you to be open both Thanksgiving and Christmas.
It is sad that you even took the poll in the first place, but far sadder that anyone was selfish enough to expect a Starbucks to be open both days. It's not like it's a place of shelter and refuge, or a place for groceries or water. It's a place for $5, high calorie coffee drinks and pastries.
Agreed. And it is mostly just here in America… in parts of Canada most stores still close early on Sunday's and on a holiday the only thing you'll find open is a random gas station and maybe a drug store. Kinda forces you to stay home and enjoy time with your family. Go figure!
Absolutely! We have several businesses here who are closed Sundays and holidays. Somehow they thrive. It's so sad. Even 15 years ago it was so much less what it is now.
I remember the first time my mom and sister decided to go to a movie on Christmas. "A movie??? What? You can't DO that!" I told them. "Those employees deserve to be home!" Now I hear about tons of people doing it, as some sort of tradition. I totally know my husband would if I let him, but I refuse to participate in this holiday scheme. Holidays are for EVERYONE, not just those of us who are fortunate enough to not work in the retail/entertainment/food industry.I, too, am surprised that Starbucks has succumbed to it, as if those 2 days a year are going to make or break their business. sigh….
I grew ip going to the movies on holidays. We still do it. In fact, a lot of ministries and or/non profits are given tickets, by the theater for those days. Not always, but often, you volunteer to work and your families get passes or discounts. I guess I do see how it is different. At the same time though, I see your point.
Yeah… there's definitely a difference between employees volunteering to work and being super bummed out about it.
I have such mixed emotions about this. A few years ago, my hubby was working at Sam's during the holiday season. Being the newest in his department, he had to work Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas. It sucked.This morning (Thanksgiving Day) 2 of my 3 kids woke up with a stomach bug. We left our family gathering and made the 6 hour drive home while there was a lull in the nausea. I was very surprised how many places were open…pretty much all day. We made a pit stop at Walmart and noticed several fast food chains and even some retail that were open.I'm sad for the employees, but so glad Walmart was open and had what we needed! And…do most people get holiday pay? Maybe that helps?We didn't stop at Starbucks (I assumed they would be closed, haha!), but I sure was tempted to stop at Sonic (most advertised they were open 11am to 10pm today):)I don't, however, plan on doing anything associated with Black Friday. Blah!Hope you had a good (for real) Thanksgiving day!

First Fruits of the New Year
Or, Three Albums That Are Not the New Guided By Voices
January 18, 2012 Andre Salles
So. Remember last week, when I announced that Let's Go Eat the Factory, the first album from the reunited Guided by Voices, would be my first purchase of 2012? Yeah, not so much. The release date's been pushed back a couple of times, and the consequence is that I've already picked up six new records this year, and none of them are Let's Go Eat the Factory, the first album from the reunited Guided by Voices.
Yes, I could listen to the free stream of the record online, but that's not how I like to do things. You'll have to wait until next week to hear what I think about GbV. (And so will I.) But that doesn't mean you're going away empty-handed this week. In fact, 2012 is off to a promising start, and I'm prepared to tell you all about it.
On tap: an album I expected to like (and did), an album I expected to hate (and didn't), and a flat-out fun piece of work from an unexpected team-up. First reviews of 2012! Ready? Go!
It's been more than three years since Ani Difranco put out an album.
In Ani time, that's like a decade. The Little Folksinger from Buffalo, New York has been steadily self-releasing records since 1990, sometimes two or three a year – 17 studio albums, three EPs, several collaborative efforts and a whole ton of live efforts. She was one of the first recording artists to establish her own independent label, free from outside influence – in technology terms, she'd be called an early adopter – and she's used that freedom to do whatever she wants, as often as she wants.
So the fact that she took so much time away since 2008's Red Letter Day is significant. In that time, she got married to her production partner, Mike Napolitano, and worked on raising their daughter, Petah. And she also slowly and carefully crafted Which Side Are You On, her just-released return to store shelves, over several sessions in 2010 and 2011. Difranco, a notoriously spur-of-the-moment songwriter and record-maker, has never spent so much time on one project before, and she says that allowed her to write a backlog of tunes, and sculpt the arrangements to her liking.
If you're worried that Which Side is Difranco's Chinese Democracy, don't. This isn't a staid studio project, slaved over until it gasps its last. This is just a particularly well-arranged work, with something new to marvel at every few seconds. Yeah, there are plenty of guest stars – Ivan and Cyril Neville (yes, those Nevilles), Anais Mitchell, saxophonist Skerik, Pete Seeger (on the title track, a cover of a song he popularized in the '50s) – but at its core, this is just another Ani album: diverse, well-crafted, full of life, and sporting a set of lyrics worth poring over and reveling in.
On this, her 17th album, the 41-year-old Difranco sounds personally content and politically disillusioned. She opens the record with a warning, in case we've forgotten who we're dealing with: "Every time I open my mouth I take off my clothes, and I'm raw and frostbitten from being exposed," she sings on the low-key "Life Boat." As usual, her lyrics are forthright, direct, and searingly honest. You always know Ani's telling you the truth about how she feels.
And on the political tunes here, she feels let down, but not out. Her recasting of the title track is just wonderful, her crack band sharing space with local singers, drummers and horn players from New York. She adds her own verses, compelling those who agree with her to get up, get out and vote: "So are we just consumers, or are we citizens, are we going to make more garbage, or are we going to make amends, are you part of the solution or are you part of the con, which side are you on?" Seeger's banjo starts this thing off, and provides its bedrock.
But elsewhere, she's more reflective, as on "J" when she admits some disappointment with our commander in chief: "You'd a thought we'd have come more far somehow since the changing of the guard and all, I mean, dude could have been FDR right now and instead he's just shifting his weight…" (From the author of this squirmy ode to Obama, that's a huge admission.)
And she turns her attention (and her for-better-or-worse bluntness) to women's rights on "Amendment," a plain-spoken plea for the ERA. Here's the best and worst of Ani's lyrical prowess, from the poetic ("If men can kill and be decorated instead of blamed, then a woman called upon to mother can choose to refrain") to the stunningly prosaic ("When I say we need the ERA it ain't 'cause I'm a fool, it's 'cause without it nobody can get away with anything cool"). "Amendment" feels like it wants to be a rallying cry, but it reads more like a first draft with potential.
But that may be because angry, politically-minded Ani takes a serious back seat here to delightedly domestic Ani. Some of these songs are the happiest she's ever given us, and they're a joy to hear. "Albacore" takes the prize for me. "I'm no blushing girl, no innocent dove, it took me a long time to find love," she sings at the start, then gives the ultimate compliment: "When I am next to you, I am more me." On "Hearse," she finds a simultaneously funny and touching metaphor: "We'll be pushing up daisies and my crush will just be getting worse, and I will follow you into the next life like a dog chasing after a hearse…"
After following her struggles, romantic and otherwise, for two decades, it's genuinely moving to hear Difranco this contented. She sums up her feelings on the raucous blues "If Yr Not": "If you're not getting happier as you get older, then you're fucking up." She even leaves us with the last verse of "Zoo," which sounds like her way of preparing us for an even longer wait next time: "And if I should ever quit your spotlight, I hope you won't think me wrong, says the poet to the moonlight, says the singer to the song, it's enough just to stay upright in every single way, and pour your love into your children until there's nothing left to say…"
I hope it's a long time before Difranco has nothing left to say. But a happiness so all-encompassing it makes her consider giving up music? How could you begrudge her that? Which Side Are You On is a strong return for one of the most distinctive, literate and flat-out talented songwriters we have, and its delightful songs of devotion make up for its occasional blunt-force missteps. Even with those few stumbles, Which Side is the year's first great record. Whoever said happy people don't make compelling art should hear this.
No one is more surprised than me that I like the new Snow Patrol album.
I mean, they're Snow Patrol. They suck. They write repetitive, go-nowhere "anthems" that bore when they should soar. On five previous albums, they refined a sound that I grew more and more tired of – rigidly repeating eighth-note guitars strumming simple chords while Gary Lightbody plaintively wails, and producers pile sonic muck on top of everything. Their last effort, 2008's A Hundred Million Suns, was their biggest effort – it concluded with a three-part, 16-minute suite – and yet most of it stuck to their worn-out formula.
So why did I even buy Fallen Empires, their just-released-in-the-U.S. sixth go-round? Because I'm a sucker for flip-the-script narratives, and word was that Lightbody and his crew had done just that. In my review of Suns, I said it took the Snow Patrol sound as far as it could go, and that I would need a reinvention to sign on for album six. Did I get one? In a lot of important ways, yes. In a lot of just as important ways, no. But this record works.
For Fallen Empires, Snow Patrol has become the umpteenth guitar band to embrace electronics. Nearly every song here is peppered with pitter-patter drums and buoyed by synthesizers. The core of Lightbody's songwriting hasn't changed much – he still composes repetitive, melody-deficient pleas to the sky – but you'd be stunned at just how much that sort of thing improves when the constant da-da-da-da guitar playing is replaced with something else. They kept most of what defines them, but moved it into a strikingly different context.
But even the more straightforward ones, like "This Garden Rules," all pianos and strings, work for me this time, and I'm not sure why. I just know that when Lightbody and guest vocalist Lissette sing "you'll never know how much I love you," I lose track of the fact that the song is only two chords repeated again and again. Take "New York," the prettiest thing here. It's four piano chords, endlessly repeating, but something in the production – the orchestration, the backing vocals, the sweeping tone – turns it special. "Come on, come out, come here," Lightbody sings, and by the end, I'm singing it too.
Snow Patrol have really only changed a few things, but they've worked wonders with them. The title track is barely a song – it's all on one note – but the electronics add a sense of creeping menace that just wouldn't have been possible without them. The wall of sound is gone, and in its place are a newfound sense of space and a healthy dose of new tones. Fallen Empires is the first Snow Patrol album I've liked enough to listen to more than a few times, and is the first one that has me actively interested in where they go next. It ain't love, but it's good enough.
This new year has a long way to go, but I wouldn't be surprised if I've just heard its most fun record.
It's called For the Good Times, and it's the second effort by the Little Willies, a supergroup that thoroughly defies the term. While most people will come to the Willies for singer and pianist Norah Jones, I'm here for criminally ignored New York songwriter Richard Julian. I've been a Julian fan for more than a decade, and over six solo albums, he's displayed the sharp wit and observational honesty of a master. Plus, he can sing and play pretty damn well, too.
So the Little Willies is Jones and Julian, with guitarist Jim Campilongo, bassist Lee Alexander and drummer Dan Rieser, all well-respected players. And when they get together, they do covers of old country tunes, written by the likes of Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton, Ralph Stanley, and their namesake, Willie Nelson. The quintet clearly had a blast making this, and unlike most projects like these, this is just as much fun to listen to. It's loose, but beautifully played, and shows the deepest respect for these songs.
Just check out their take on "Lovesick Blues," a song Hank Williams took to the top of the charts in 1949. Julian and Jones wrap their voices around each other, pulling off the near-yodels perfectly, while the band hangs back and lays down a sweetly swaying groove. Jones lets out her inner spitfire on Loretta Lynn's "Fist City," and if you think Jones' usual fare could use a good kick in the ass, check her out on this tune. It's a lark, but she digs in and sings the hell out of it.
Other highlights: Julian puts his personal stamp on Willie Nelson's grand "Permanently Lonely," he and Jones have a great time with Quincy Jones' "Foul Owl on the Prowl" (famously featured in the film In the Heat of the Night), and Jones does a fine job with Kris Kristofferson's title track. The record closes out with Dolly Parton's signature "Jolene," the most well-known song the Willies have covered, and it's a low-key rendition, Jones pulling out new colors from the familiar melody.
For the Good Times is reverent when it needs to be, but mainly, it's just a boatload of fun. And if it serves to bring Richard Julian's work further into the public eye, then that's an unqualified good. (Check him out here.) The Little Willies is the best kind of side project – one with its own identity, one that makes its own convincing case. I can't wait to hear more.

Just as soon as this week's major winter storm exited the region another one is one its heels. The big questions right now are where exactly the snow will fall beginning Sunday night into New Year's Eve and how much there will be.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), the same areas that were slammed with 12-20 inches in Thursday's snowstorm stand the best chance to pick up accumulating snow.
This system isn't nearly as powerful as the last, with current snowfall expectations around 2-4 inches in central Minnesota with slightly higher amounts, 4-6 inches, in Duluth and along the north and south shore of Lake Superior. That said, wherever the heaviest band of snow is located could produce localized amounts of six inches in central Minnesota, the NWS says.
Strong winds will also create hazardous travel conditions with blowing snow likely reducing visibilities.
If the storm system slides a bit further southeast it could bring snow to the Twin Cities. We'll have to keep an eye on the forecast as more refined details are expected Sunday.
It's already extremely cold throughout Minnesota on Saturday, with wind chills in northwest Minnesota as low as -35 and wind chill readings in the metro area around zero.
We'll warm up to around 30 degrees Sunday before the snow arrives Sunday night into Monday, followed by an even stronger blast of Arctic air with highs statewide in the single digits and teens on Monday and then struggling to get above zero on New Year's Day.
The wind chill readings on New Year's Day will be dangerously low, around -15 in the Twin Cities, -20 in Mankato, -25 in Duluth, -30 in Willmar and around -40 in Bemidji and northwest parts of the state.
This will be the second consecutive year we're dropping the ball on New Year's Eve in ridiculously cold weather. The high in the Twin Cities on New Year's Eve last year was -5.
The Arctic blast won't last long as temps are expected to rebound to near freezing by the end of next week.
Check back Sunday morning for fresh details on where the snow is most likely to fall on Monday.
Our November has been more like Alaska's than Minnesota's this year.

Q: Difference between android 2.3.3 and android 4.2 enforcing permissions? I am just playing with a certain scenario of inter-application-communication,
and trying to circumvent the problem that in Android the main activity of an application
can't be secured by a custom permisssion (as in that case it can't be launched at all).
I tried to use two activities instead: 1) The main activity which is not protected.
2) When a button is clicked, the main activity sends an explicit Intent to start the second activity.
That one performs some sensitive work and is protected by a custom permission
("toy.test.permission.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY").
The idea being that if the main activity is either started by the user from the launcher or
by a foreign maliscious application using an explicit intent, we can warn the user before he pushes the button to proceed.
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main_activity);
    final Button start = (Button) findViewById(R.id.start);
    start.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
        public void onClick(View v) {
            Intent activateIntent = new Intent(MainActivity.this,
                    SecondActivity.class);
            startActivity(activateIntent);
            finish();
        }
    });  ....

The Manifest.xml file looks like that:
<application
    android:icon="@drawable/icon"
    android:label="@string/app_name"
    android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
    <activity
        android:name=".MainActivity"
        android:label="@string/app_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
    <activity
        android:name=".SecondActivity"
        android:label="@string/second_activity_name"
        android:theme="@style/AppTheme"
        android:permission="toy.test.permission.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY" >
        <intent-filter>
            <action android:name="toy.test.action.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY" />

            <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT" />
        </intent-filter>
    </activity>
</application>

(In addition, the SecondActivity can be started from a friend application by an implicit Intent with
actionString="toy.test.action.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY" using the permission
"toy.test.permission.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY".)
Now the difference between android 2.3.3 and android 4.2:
On an android 4.2 device or emulator, the SecondActivity can be started from the MainActivity by clicking
the Start button without any problems, although the application does not ask explicitly for the permission
"toy.test.permission.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY".
However, on an android 2.3.3 emulator, the SecondActivity can't be started because of SecurityException:
FATAL EXCEPTION: main
java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: starting Intent { cmp=toy.test/.SecondActivity }
from ProcessRecord{406827d0 405:toy.test/10034} (pid=405, uid=10034) requires
toy.test.permission.ACTIVATE_SECOND_ACTIVITY

I am confused: Was the permission enforcement changed between the two Android versions?
And is it on purpose that android 4.2 allows such situations, i.e. activation of the SecondActivity without permission?
(Of course, that would be useful.)
Thanks a lot for any answers,

Frente Cumbiero is one of the bands involved in the new cumbia scene in Colombia. It is basically the project of musician and DJ Mario Galeano, joined by an adaptable group of contributors. Some of the musicians involved in Frente Cumbiero's latest recording, Meets Mad Professor, include Pedro Ojeda, Elbis Alvarez and Marco Fajardo.
Frente Cumbiero Meets Mad Professor is the result of a collaborative three-day recording session with legendary dub producer Mad Professor that took place in 2009. This was part of the British Council's Incubator project in which Mad Professor's son, Joe Ariwa, and other musicians of Bogota's music scene also participated.
Cumbia's popularity has increased internationally in recent times. It was originally an Afro-Latin rhythm from the Atlantic coast of Colombia. In the past years various forms of cumbia have emerged, ranging from exciting rootsy forms to electronic, retro psychedelic and pop formulas. Frente Cumbiero combines live instruments and Afro roots with electronics, revitalizing cumbia for new generations.
Frente Cumbiero Meets Mad Professor contains instrumental pieces where Colombian cumbia and Jamaican dub find a common ground. The recordings took place at Javeriana University. Four pieces are the work of Frente Cumbiero and out of the improvisational sessions came out three collective compositions. The seven tracks were later remixed by Mad Professor in his London studio, Ariwa. So the album contains the seven original tracks and then the same tracks remixed and totally transformed by Mad Professor in his magical musical lab.
The captivating Frente Cumbiero Meets Mad Professor transforms cumbia into a cutting edge musical form full of echoing dub effects for the new generation of modern dance music fans.
