Lawns and Moral Character

2006-05-22T16:51:00.000-04:00

This article is from Counterpunch (hit-and-miss) about lawns.

- - - - - - - -

Now that May is here, perhaps you're looking out at your lawn and thinking it needs mowing. Instead, you might want to think about whether you need that lawn at all.

The problem isn't grass. Humans first lived on the grasslands of Africa, and until not so long ago, grasslands covered far greater swaths of North America than they do now.

But landscapes like those bear little resemblance to the classic American lawn -- an industrial, shocking-green carpet whose very survival depends on our polluting the environment and disturbing the peace.

Other kinds of home landscapes can grow pollution-free. A natural-yard movement is showing that combinations of rugged plants, including grasses, can be far more interesting than a standard lawn while requiring little mowing, no spraying or fertilizing, and even no irrigation.

By contrast, the "perfect lawn is a monotony of color and texture, yields no useful harvest, and may rarely even be trod upon. But for growing the lawn-care industry a crop of hard cash, the synthetic grasslands of suburbia are fertile ground indeed. To replace all of that high-maintenance turf with something more resilient -- to stow all that equipment and dispose of all those chemicals -- would cause a $35 billion industry to wither.

Among the industry's ever-proliferating lines of new-and-improved products, the most visible -- and audible -- are those that replace muscle power with fossil-fuel power. The lawn mower has undergone what is probably the most astounding metamorphosis, the larger commercial versions now resembling a hybrid between lunar rover and La-Z-Boy recliner.

Despite tightened regulations, mowers are still serious polluters. On average, 2006 lawnmower engines contribute 93 times more smog-forming emissions per gallon of fuel than do this year's cars, according to the California Air Resources Board. For homeowners, a little electric mower may seem clean, but its cord likely leads back to a coal-fired power plant that belches global-warming carbon dioxide.

And other gas and electric contraptions, like leaf blowers and string trimmers, have joined mowers to make Saturday afternoon in suburbia sound more like Monday morning in a sawmill.

Meanwhile, the nearly universal creed for weed and pest control has become Let us spray. The Environmental Protection Agency says pesticide use in the home-and-garden sector, once in decline, has grown by more than 25 percent since 1995. Herbicide use almost doubled between 1982 and 2001, and continues to grow.

Of the 30 most commonly used lawn pesticides, 29 are toxic to birds, fish, amphibians and/or bees . Environmental groups have raised the biggest clamor over the herbicide 2,4-D, which a growing number of studies show to be a possible contributor to non-Hodgkins lymphoma and other cancers.

Whether or not they use pesticides, homeowners know the only way to get a lawn as deep-green and uniform as a pool table is to pour on fertilizer and water. Much of that fertilizer washes right past the shallow roots of lawn grasses and into storm drains.

One Minnesota study showed that "lush lawns are more of a water quality problem than poorer turf lawns," because of phosphorus runoff. Some states and communities have restricted fertilizer use, and many others are considering it.

In a 2003 look at the lawn industry, Paul Robbins and Julie Sharp of Ohio State University cited studies showing that to homeowners, "property values are clearly associated with high-input green-lawn maintenance and use," so many Americans have "associated moral character and social responsibility with the condition of the lawn."

How can a patch of ground that delivers fertilizer-laden pollution into streams, greenhouse gases and a terrible racket into the atmosphere, and pesticide residues into the neighbor's dog -- and probably the neighbor -- come to embody "moral character and social responsibility"?

Last summer, my family and I removed our front lawn and replaced it with an edible landscape" of fruit trees, berry bushes, herbs and other plants as part of a project by our local art center and Los Angeles artist/architect Fritz Haeg.

We've been asked plenty of questions about this move, the two most common being, "What do your neighbors say?" and "Has the city fined you?"

Our answers: "They like it" and "No."

But fears like these still keep Americans from ditching their lawns.

http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/news/06-05/12.shtml

BN: The new Radiohead album was long predicted to come out this spring or summer, but will not be finished until the band finishes their current tour. That is to say, it will not be out until next year.

Free Sheet Music

This site offers free sheet music in PDF format, with a good list of composers to choose from.

Because of bandwidth, you can only download 2 files a day, which is still pretty good.

Recommended is the entire catalog on CD for 20$, which is a good deal.

And if you know how to make PDF files, you can submit sheet music of your own.

Alas, everything should be public domain..

Excellent Site on J.S. Bach

2006-05-01T21:13:00.000-04:00

Timothy A. Smith has created an amazing site on Bach, full of analyses on canons, fugues, the Well-Tempered Clavier, Goldberg variations, and more.

Here is a snippet from information on the canons of the Goldberg variations:

- - - - - -

Canon 1: canone all' Unisuono
Structurally, the Goldberg Variations demonstrate the Baroque ideal of balance and internal coherence. Every third variation is a canon, of which this is the first. Canone all' Unisuono means "canon at the unison," implying that the canon leader and follower begin on the same pitch. This title suggests that subsequent canons might use other intervals as indeed they do.

- - - - - -

A lot of pages on the site feature Flash and Shockwave work that play musical bits from pieces to help illustrate certain points. Highly informative. Here is the main site on Bach.

Stephen Colbert vs Bush

2006-05-01T20:53:00.000-04:00

At this traditional, play-mocking dinner in D.C., Stephen Colbert (of the Colbert Report on Comedy Central) gave a speech that wasn't taken too kindly by the Bushes. Obviously the people behind the dinner are completely out of touch. Colbert is pretty right on, and he mocks Bush all the time. Supposedly Bush nodded at Colbert afterwards, in that grin-and-bear-it manner he must be used to by now.

One of the best quotes:

- - - - - -
But, listen, let's review the rules. Here's how it works. The president makes decisions, he’s the decider. The press secretary announces those decisions, and you people of the press type those decisions down. Make, announce, type. Put them through a spell check and go home. Get to know your family again. Make love to your wife. Write that novel you got kicking around in your head. You know, the one about the intrepid Washington reporter with the courage to stand up to the administration. You know, fiction.

Because really, what incentive do these people have to answer your questions, after all? I mean, nothing satisfies you. Everybody asks for personnel changes. So the white house has personnel changes. Then you write they're just rearranging the deck chairs on the titanic. First of all, that is a terrible metaphor. This ship's not sinking. This administration is soaring. If anything, they are rearranging the deck chairs on The Hindenburg...

Abraham Lincoln and Habeas Corpus

2006-04-27T17:01:00.000-04:00

On September 24, 1862, Abraham Lincoln issued the following proclamation. Not the emancipation proclamation - a different one..

------------------------------------------------------------------

Proclamation Suspending the Writ of Habeas Corpus

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA:

A PROCLAMATION

Whereas, it has become necessary to call into service not only volunteers but also portions of the militia of the States by draft in order to suppress the insurrection existing in the United States, and disloyal persons are not adequately restrained by the ordinary processes of law from hindering this measure and from giving aid and comfort in various ways to the insurrection;

Now, therefore, be it ordered, first, that during the existing insurrection and as a necessary measure for suppressing the same, all Rebels and Insurgents, their aiders and abettors within the United States, and all persons discouraging volunteer enlistments, resisting militia drafts, or guilty of any disloyal practice, affording aid and comfort to Rebels against the authority of United States, shall be subject to martial law and liable to trial and punishment by Courts Martial or Military Commission:

Second. That the Writ of Habeas Corpus is suspended in respect to all persons arrested, or who are now, or hereafter during the rebellion shall be, imprisoned in any fort, camp, arsenal, military prison, or other place of confinement by any military authority of by the sentence of any Court Martial or Military Commission.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.

Done at the City of Washington this twenty fourth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-two, and of the Independence of the United States the 87th.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

By the President:

WILLIAM H. SEWARD, Secretary of State.

------------------------------------------------------

Interesting, no? I think Bill Clinton said something along the lines of, 'I always wish I had a war when I was in office. That's what you need to get things done.'

Right on.

Just FYI, here is a short description of habeas corpus.

Lat. "you have the body" Prisoners often seek release by filing a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. A writ of habeas corpus is a judicial mandate to a prison official ordering that an inmate be brought to the court so it can be determined whether or not that person is imprisoned lawfully and whether or not he should be released from custody. A habeas corpus petition is a petition filed with a court by a person who objects to his own or another's detention or imprisonment. The petition must show that the court ordering the detention or imprisonment made a legal or factual error. Habeas corpus petitions are usually filed by persons serving prison sentences. In family law, a parent who has been denied custody of his child by a trial court may file a habeas corpus petition. Also, a party may file a habeas corpus petition if a judge declares her in contempt of court and jails or threatens to jail her...

The writ of habeas corpus serves as an important check on the manner in which state courts pay respect to federal constitutional rights. The writ is "the fundamental instrument for safeguarding individual freedom against arbitrary and lawless state action." Harris v. Nelson, 394 U.S. 286, 290-91 (1969).

2006-04-13T16:54:00.000-04:00

-My past is a stupid butterfly’s overseas voyage.
My future is a garden where a cook cuts the throat of a rooster.
What do I have, with all my pain and rebellion?

-Take a moment, just one, and when its fine shell,
Two joined palms, slowly opens
What do you see?

-A pearl, a second.

-Inside a second, a pearl, in that star saved from time,
What do you see when the wind of mutability ceases?

-The earth, the sky and the sea, richly cargoed ships,
Spring morning full of dew and faraway princedoms.
At marvels displayed in tranquil glory
I look and do not desire for I am content.

Another Iraqi Blogger

2006-03-30T20:12:00.000-05:00

Ok, thanks to Al Jazeera (you read that right), I'm swamped with blogs from Iraq. Why? Well. . .all the journalists are in hotels. . .I guess if you want info from the street you have to talk to civilians. Which works out really well actually.

From Salam Pax:

Here's a conundrum for you to solve:
To achieve a level of security that would allow the coalition forces to go home without leaving a big mess behind them we need money, this money will only come from oil exports and to achieve that level of oil production we need big foreign investment in the maintenance of oil fields but that investment won't come unless the security situation improves.

Again:
Security needs money,
Money comes from oil,
Oil needs foreign investment,
And foreign investment wants security.

Robert Fisk Article: "The Farcical End of the American Dream"

2006-03-19T16:12:00.000-05:00

Excerpt:

"It is a bright winter morning and I am sipping my first coffee of the day in Los Angeles. My eye moves like a radar beam over the front page of the Los Angeles Times for the word that dominates the minds of all Middle East correspondents: Iraq. In post-invasion, post-Judith Miller mode, the American press is supposed to be challenging the lies of this war. So the story beneath the headline "In a Battle of Wits, Iraq's Insurgency Mastermind Stays a Step Ahead of US" deserves to be read. Or does it?

Datelined Washington - an odd city in which to learn about Iraq, you might think - its opening paragraph reads: "Despite the recent arrest of one of his would-be suicide bombers in Jordan and some top aides in Iraq, insurgency mastermind Abu Musab Zarqawi has eluded capture, US authorities say, because his network has a much better intelligence-gathering operation than they do."

Now quite apart from the fact that many Iraqis - along, I have to admit, with myself - have grave doubts about whether Zarqawi exists, and that al-Qai'da's Zarqawi, if he does exist, does not merit the title of "insurgency mastermind", the words that caught my eye were "US authorities say". And as I read through the report, I note how the Los Angeles Times sources this extraordinary tale. I thought American reporters no longer trusted the US administration, not after the mythical weapons of mass destruction and the equally mythical connections between Saddam and the international crimes against humanity of 11 September 2001. Of course, I was wrong.

Here are the sources - on pages one and 10 for the yarn spun by reporters Josh Meyer and Mark Mazzetti: "US officials said", "said one US Justice Department counter-terrorism official", "Officials ... said", "those officials said", "the officials confirmed", "American officials complained", "the US officials stressed", "US authorities believe", "said one senior US intelligence official", "US officials said", "Jordanian officials ... said" - here, at least is some light relief - "several US officials said", "the US officials said", "American officials said", "officials say", "say US officials", "US officials said", "one US counter-terrorism official said".

I do truly treasure this story. It proves my point that the Los Angeles Times - along with the big east coast dailies - should all be called US OFFICIALS SAY."

The Neck of Evil - A Preemptive Obituary

2006-03-17T12:24:00.000-05:00

The former CEO of ExxonMobil, retired at the end of 2005, Lee Raymond.
You might be able to pick him up like a puppy.
Climate change is a giant hoax and compensating the victims of the Exxon Valdez was out of the question.
Your antipathy towards all of good earth's living things has drained your soul much like the countless oil fields all over the world. As you pant wearily to climb into bed each night, we can only console ourselves that you will carry a bad taste in your mouth as you die miserably from heart failure or some other disease obese bastards like you always come down with.

Ode to Things by Pablo Neruda

2005-12-14T18:03:00.000-05:00

I have a crazy,
crazy love of things.
I like pliers,
and scissors.
I love
cups,
rings,
and bowls -
not to speak, or course,
of hats.
I love
all things,
not just
the grandest,
also
the
infinite-
ly
small -
thimbles,
spurs,
plates,
and flower vases.
Oh yes,
the planet
is sublime!
It's full of pipes
weaving
hand-held
through tobacco smoke,
and keys
and salt shakers -
everything,
I mean,
that is made
by the hand of man, every little thing:
shapely shoes,
and fabric,
and each new
bloodless birth
of gold,
eyeglasses
carpenter's nails,
brushes,
clocks, compasses,
coins, and the so-soft
softness of chairs.
Mankind has
built
oh so many
perfect
things!
Built them of wool
and of wood,
of glass and
of rope:
remarkable
tables,
ships, and stairways.
I love
all
things,
not because they are
passionate
or sweet-smelling
but because,
I don't know,
because
this ocean is yours,
and mine;
these buttons
and wheels
and little
forgotten
treasures,
fans upon
whose feathers
love has scattered
its blossoms
glasses, knives and
scissors -
all bear
the trace
of someone's fingers
on their handle or surface,
the trace of a distant hand
lost
in the depths of forgetfulness.
I pause in houses,
streets and
elevators
touching things,
identifying objects
that I secretly covet;
this one because it rings,
that one because
it's as soft
as the softness of a woman's hip,
that one there for its deep-sea color,
and that one for its velvet feel.
O irrevocable
river
of things:
no one can say
that I loved
only
fish,
or the plants of the jungle and the field,
that I loved
only
those things that leap and climb, desire, and survive.
It's not true:
many things conspired
to tell me the whole story.
Not only did they touch me,
or my hand touched them:
they were
so close
that they were a part
of my being,
they were so alive with me
that they lived half my life
and will die half my death.

This is a quote of Jeffrey Dukes from George Monbiot's most recent entry in his blog:
***
In 2003, the biologist Jeffrey Dukes calculated that the fossil fuels we burn in one year were made from organic matter “containing 44×10 to the 18 grams of carbon, which is more than 400 times the net primary productivity of the planet’s current biota.” In plain English, this means that every year we use four centuries’ worth of plants and animals.
***
Below is a link to another Monbiot log. He mentions the need for a 90% carbon cut by 2030. I'm not about to dispute the numbers - everyone could go on for days - but even if it's remotely close, then conservation and renewables all seem paltry. Daniel Quinn, anyone? Richard Manning? I can throw a spear.

Novel by de Assis

2005-12-05T23:26:00.000-05:00

Just started this novel by Joaquim Maria Machado de Assis called 'The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas.' Hard to believe it was written in 1881. I'm only 6 chapters in (there are 160) but here's a snippet I took from near the end (I never skip ahead but for some reason the lack of strict narrative invited me)
***
Nose, conscience without remorse, you were very helpful to me in life...Have you ever meditated sometime on the purpose of the nose, dear reader? Dr. Pangloss' explanation is that the nose was created for the use of eyeglasses - and I must confess that such an explanation, up till a certain time, seemed to be the definite one for me. But it happened one day while ruminating on those and other obscure philosophical points that I hit upon the only true and definitive explanation.
All I needed, really, was to follow the habits of a fakir. As the reader knows, the fakir spends long hours looking at the tip of his nose with his only aim that of seeing the celestial light. When he fixes his eyes on the tip of his nose he loses his sense of outside things, becomes enraptured with the invisible, learns the intangible, becomes detached from the world, dissolves, is aetherialized. That sublimation of the being by the tip of the nose is the most lofty phenomenon of the spirit, and the faculty for obtaining it doesn't belong to the fakir alone. It's universal. Every man has the need and the power to contemplate his own nose with the aim to see the celestial light, and such contemplation, whose effect is subordination to just one nose, constitutes the equilibrium of societies. If noses only contemplated each other, humankind wouldn't have lasted two centuries, it would have died out with the earliest tribes.
I can hear an objection on the part of the reader here. 'How can it be like that,' he asks, 'if no one has even seen men contemplating their own noses?'
Obtuse reader, that proves you've never got inside the brain of a milliner. A milliner passes by a hat shop, the shop of a rival who'd opened it two years before. It had two doors then, now it has four. It promises to have six or eight. The rival's customers are going in through the doors. The milliner compares that shop with his, which is older and has only two doors, and those hats with his, less sought after even though priced the same. He's naturally mortified, but he keeps on walking, concentrating, with his eyes lowered or straight ahead, pondering the reasons for the other man's prosperity and his own backwardness while he as a milliner is a much better milliner than the other milliner...At that moment his eyes are fixed on the tip of his nose.
The conclusion, therefore, is that there are two capital forces: love, which multiplies the species, and the nose, which subordinates it to the individual. Procreation, equilibrium.
***
I'm sure I'll find a better representation later, but this seems to work. It's funny stuff.

Noam Chomsky Interview

2005-11-07T23:49:00.000-05:00

Excerpt of Noam Chomsky interview:

". . .In the course of creating modern nation states, Europe developed a culture of savagery and a technology of violence which enabled it to conquer the world, and as it conquered the world it attempted to impose nation state systems wherever it went, also artificial and violent. If you look at today's major conflicts around the world, most of them are the residue of European efforts to impose nation state systems where it doesn't make any sense, which is almost everywhere. The few exceptions to this are places of European colonization where they simply exterminated the indigenous population, like the United States and Australia. So there you get more homogeneous societies. . ."

Stanzas For Music: There's Not A Joy The World Can Give by George Gordon Byron

2005-10-23T20:46:00.000-04:00

There's not a joy the world can give like that it takes away
When the glow of early thought declines in feeling's dull decay;
'Tis not on youth's smooth cheek the blush alone, which fades so fast,
But the tender bloom of heart is gone, ere youth itself be past.

Then the few whose spirits float above the wreck of happiness
Are driven o'er the shoals of guilt, or ocean of excess:
The magnet of their course is gone, or only points in vain
The shore to which their shivered sail shall never stretch again.

Then the mortal coldness of the soul like death itself comes down;
It cannot feel for others' woes, it dare not dream its own;
That heavy chill has frozen o'er the fountain of our tears,
And though the eye may sparkle still, 'tis where the ice appears.

Though wit may flash from fluent lips, and mirth distract the breast,
Through midnight hours that yield no more their former hope of rest,
'Tis but as ivy-leaves around the ruined turret wreath—
All green and wildly fresh without, but worn and grey beneath.

Oh, could I feel as I have felt, or be what I have been,
Or weep as I could once have wept, o'er many a vanished scene;
As springs in deserts found seem sweet, all brackish though they be,
So, midst the withered waste of life, those tears would flow to me.
