169,714,686 | My 2012 VW Polo 1.4 petrol automatic has a rattle that makes the engine sound like a diesel. It starts at 1,100rpm and ceases at about 1,250. This occurs under load. Otherwise it’s working well. It has had the VW recall for a change of transmission oil. I would be grateful for any ideas. I’m hoping to go France in the near future and am a bit worried that it might break down. MM
That’s typical of the VW Group DQ200 seven-speed dry clutch DSG. Reports of failures come in all the time. From your description, it’s more likely to be the clutch pack than the Mechatronics, which is a relief because replacing a clutch pack is much cheaper and you might get some goodwill from VW.
I am considering a new Ford Kuga with the 1.5 Ecoboost engine. Would this be a better option than its diesel equivalent? WB
Yes. As long as you don't intend to tow, the 1.5 Ecoboost is a better long-term choice. Also consider a VW Tiguan with the 1.4/1.5 TSI (though there's a wait for that), a Tiguan 2.0 TSI or a Suzuki Vitara 1.4T Boosterjet.
The engine in my 36,000-mile Kia Sportage 1.7 CRDI makes a loudish noise when I accelerate hard in sixth gear, especially on an incline. My main dealer has checked it out but says no fault can be found. What could be causing this - and might it be serious? JH
If you are accelerating in sixth up an incline in a Sportage 1.7 CRDI then you will probably be loading the engine too much, especially if the revs are below 2,000. The noise could be the dual mass flywheel protesting. You need to change down a gear (or two).
I have an MG ZT, bought as new (unregistered for six years) in 2011. It has developed an irritating drumming noise that appears to come from the rear when in motion. I replaced the rear discs and pads but it made no difference. The tyres are the original Continentals and show no uneven wear. I have been under the car and there is nothing loose. I thought it might be the wheel bearings, but I had one of those replaced a couple of years ago and so is relatively new. When the car is jacked up there is no undue movement on either of the rear wheels. I am totally perplexed.PC
It's possible that the strengthening band across the inside of the roof has come adrift from the roof itself.
The catalytic converter of my 1995 Jaguar XJ6 is making noises. The local Jag dealer in Exeter says it cannot be replaced and will fail its MoT in September. The car runs beautifully. What would you do? Is it possible to get one from a breaker? LH
Presumably it's rattling because the ceramic matrix has broken up. It's highly likely that one sourced from a breaker will have suffered shock damage and will be in the same state. If you key “Jaguar XJ catalytic converter suppliers” into Google you will find a cheaper replacement than a main dealer can supply.
I have a VW Golf 1.4 TSI and there is a growling noise at low speed, or when accelerating. It has been suggested this might be the air intake in the turbo. Is this a possibility and is this a known problem? JB
That is most likely to be an air intake noise because a pipe has split or come adrift; not a fault with the turbo itself. But if it’s the timing chain you’re in trouble...
According to the Office for National Statistics the proportion of so-called “silver splitters” – people over 60 separating from their husband or wife - has almost doubled in a decade.
It was once an age when people prepared to wind down after a long career or plan an around-the world cruise.
According to the Office for National Statistics the number of so-called “silver splitters” – people over 60 separating from their husband or wife – has almost doubled in a decade.
Divorce lawyers suggested that increasing life expectancy and a greater “lust for life” among those in their 60s than in previous generations meant that for many people retirement has become a time to reassess their life.
Others said that so-called “empty nest syndrome” when children grow up and leave home, also removed some of the bonds holding long-term couples together.
The figures also show a spike in the number of people in their early forties deciding to divorce, suggesting that the “midlife crisis” is one of the biggest factors behind marital break-up.
And changing social attitudes are laid out in a breakdown of the figures showing that adultery as a cause of divorce has fallen to an all-time low, with “unreasonable behaviour” by one or other party now the dominant cause.
Overall a total of 117,558 married couples finalised their separations in England Wales last year, down from 119,589 in 2010.
The 1.7 per cent fall came after a surprise five per cent increase in 2010 but the ONS warned that it might be only temporary, following patterns in previous recessions in which unhappy couples sat it out until their house goes up in value before making the break.
The ONS calculated that 42 per cent of marriages now end in divorce – down from 45 per cent six years earlier.
Meanwhile the average marriage now lasts about 32 years – while around a fifth of all people getting divorced are serial divorcees.
The figures also suggest that the “seven year itch” is still a reality, with those between the fourth and eighth year of marriage statistically more likely to separate within a year than any other group.
But the highest number of divorces for both men and women was among those aged between 40 and 44, falling steadily among those in their late forties and fifties.
Last year eight per cent of all husbands who got divorced – or 9,439 – were over 60. A decade earlier the proportion was 4.6.
Vicki McLynn, a partner at Pannone, said: “This trend has developed over the last decade and possibly represents a greater lust for life than might have been seen in that age group in previous generations.
John Nicholson, a partner at Irwin Mitchell, added: “It is often as a result of couples drifting apart after ‘empty nest syndrome’ as the children head off to university or move out of the family home.
“People are also living healthier, longer lives and are wishing to pursue other relationships whereas before couples may have felt compelled to stay together in old age.”
As with in the past, about two thirds of divorces were granted to the wife. But the importance of adultery has fallen dramatically.
Last year it was cited in just 15 per cent of divorces, while “unreasonable behaviour” accounted for almost half.
In total 11,129 unfaithful husbands in England and Wales were divorced for adultery and 6,173 unfaithful wives.
Ruth Sutherland, chief executive of Relate, said: “The decline in divorce statistics might not be a sign that relationships aren’t under strain as nearly half of Relate counsellors are seeing an increase in couples having to live together because they simply can’t afford to break-up.”
Marilyn Stowe senior Stowe Family Law, said: “I am surprised the number of divorces has fallen: our firm has offices around the country and we have all been busier than ever over the past 18 months.”
Michelangelo statue to go on display in London after National Gallery does deal with Italian monastery
A 500-year-old marble statue of Christ will form the centrepiece of a blockbuster exhibition on Michelangelo at the National Gallery after curators negotiated a deal to bring it to London from its permanent home in a monastery in Italy.
The statue of the Risen Christ, weighing almost a ton, is one of almost 30 works which will go on show at the National Gallery next year in its first major exhibition on perhaps the greatest of all Renaissance artists in more than 20 years.
The Michelangelo exhibition, two years in the making, could set new visitor records. The show, which opens in March 2017 and runs until the end of June, will focus on Michelangelo’s friendship and collaboration with the artist Sebastiano del Piombo and their acrimonious falling out.

The artworks, including the sculpture, drawings and paintings, have been assembled from across Europe and the US as well as two rare oil paintings from the National Gallery’s permanent collection.
“Michelangelo is one of the great great figures of the Renaissance. We have not had a Michelangelo show here for 20 years,” said Gabriele Finaldi, the recently installed director of the National Gallery. “The show focuses on his friendship with Sebastiano and a very fruitful artistic relationship. The exhibition will give exposure to their remarkable relationship and a very, very significant moment in the history of Renaissance art through sculpture, paintings and drawings.”
The sculpture was only recognised as a Michelangelo at the turn of this century by an art historian. It had stood in the church of San Vincenzo Martire, part of a monastery, at Bassano Romano, a village just outside Rome, since 1644.
Michelangelo began working on the statue in 1515 but abandoned it when he discovered a black vein in the marble. It was completed in the 17th century.
A second, more famous version is in the church of Santa Maria Sopra Minerva in Rome. Sebastiano, then Michelangelo’s great friend, declared that the “knees alone were worthy of more than the whole Rome”.
Matthias Wivel, the National Gallery’s curator of 16th century Italian paintings who is responsible for putting the exhibition togeth
r, said the negotiations to bring the statue to London had been “complicated” but that the monastery had been keen to have it shown to wider audience. It will be transported to the UK on a lorry with special suspension.
Only one Michelangelo marble sculpture is on permanent display in the UK - a marble relief of the Virgin and Child at the Royal Academy.

Dr Wivel said the exhibition would demonstrate the close collaboration between the two great artists and will contain drawings by Michelangelo which were used as inspiration for oil paintings by Sebastiano.
The exhibition will also contain correspondence between the two men. The friends fell out in 1534, allegedly because Sebastiano had recommended that Michelangelo paint The Last Judgment in the Sistine Chapel in oils rather than as a fresco.
Dr Wivel said: “There was a macho fascination with fresco. Michelangelo said oil painting is for women and Sebastiano.”
For Michelangelo-Sebastiano: A Meeting of Minds to break the record for paid for exhibitions it will need to attract in the region of 330,000 visitors.
The exhibition will be displayed in the North Galleries with permanent paintings by the likes of Rembrandt and Poussin moved to spaces on the ground floor.
The exhibition is one of a series unveiled by the National Gallery at a press conference on Thursday.
The gallery will depart from its normal remit of showing European art with a show entitled Australia’s Impressionists while it will also break with the tradition of showing pre-20th century art with a new work by Chris Ofili, the Turner Prize-winning artist.
Ofili, 47, famous for incorporating elephant dung into his paintings, is producing a specially-commissioned tapestry. The tapestry being made in secret at a studio in Edinburgh before going on display in London from April 26 to August 28 next year.
The prospect of the National Gallery displaying the work by Ofili will raise eyebrows in the art world. There have been concerns that the National Gallery is stepping on territory normally reserved for the Tate by showing a contemporary artist. The two galleries have a loose agreement in place that post-1900 art work is shown at Tate and anything before that at the National. That agreement is due for renewal in 2019.

The "face" of Calcutta's premier road race had pushed himself to run the hardest when he was dropped from the Indian cricket team in 2006 and ended up doing 21 laps of the Eden Gardens.
Calcutta: The "face" of Calcutta's premier road race had pushed himself to run the hardest when he was dropped from the Indian cricket team in 2006 and ended up doing 21 laps of the Eden Gardens.
Sourav Ganguly recounted the experience at the launch of the fourth edition of Tata Steel Kolkata 25K, partnered by The Telegraph.
Ganguly, who has been the face of the run since 2015, had flagged off last year's race with Boris "Boom Boom" Becker and will be doing so in the company of elite athlete Mike Powell of the US this year.
"I was angry at being dropped because I was still scoring runs and getting Test centuries. One morning I just got up, came to Eden and started running... It was only after someone stopped me and said I had run 21 laps that I realised I had run that much," said the former Team India skipper, who went on to make a comeback in South Africa.
The race, in its fourth year, is set to graduate into an international event with the signing up of an elite band of professional distance runners.
In another first, the race will be beamed live for the first time. The organisers, Procam International, expects the live telecast will result in a spurt in participation. |
2,854,239 | your sig looks awesome i like the second pic also, the alignment is good and the color of the text goes well with the pic's, the only thing not aligned is the blakc text at the very bottom, but it all looks good either way
10/10. I thoroughly loved the touching tale of Sadako when I first read about it in fifth grade. Simplicity can suffice- hence the pictures.
poketeen05, you need to add 9/ because you could be giveing him a 9 out of 100 or a 9 out of 5, you have to write 9 out of...whatever, most people use 9/10
anyway your sig has an extreamly cool card in it! Your chao cyndaquile is adorable, but there are too many words, people don't exactly want to read through all of it, so what you might want to do is put them in colors so people catch their intrest in them, It's good that you spaced out in paragraphs, that helps ^^, I think you might want to work on it though, it's really great otherwise 7/10
crazed flareon, in here, you rate the signature of the person who posted before you. So, you might want to rate The Adamant Dodger's. ^_^;
ok so we got an umbreon club banner. some evo. gifs, ruki, hikari and culumon...i guess its ok...tho it does seem kinda crammed together to me...7/10
ARGH, you should seriously change your sig, it's getting old, umm CCS and Fire Emblem, not much to say.
very cool t cards, although I don't know what the worm like creature is at the top XD They're cute! ^_^ you might want to make the t cards side by side and not on top of each other to make your sig smaller ^^ 7/10
very orginized, you put what was most important to you at the top, then an awsome animation under it, the color of your fonts the animation and the "vote for toto" animation. the quote on the bottom is very funny! And I love humor in sigs! your sig is very noticable, clean, funny and supportive, 10/10!
Lavender to no67 is very colorful! It's a bit large, you might want to resize it by one. Your friends list has a very cool font, it matches the glow and the cat in the pic below. You might want to fix the notice you made about your friends list, it's white (but it looks like you wanted it blue) so it was hard to read. The banner you made about the spriters club is amazing! I love the font to it and the color, the cat is adorable *cuddles* you might want to attach a link to it so people can just click on the banner and it would lead them right to the club, although you don't have to.
Whoa whoa whoa... thats not needed, if you don't like the banner no need to critize it so harshly, you know if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Or if you have something to say at least critize constructively.
6/10, its not bad but it would be better if it was more simple and followed a theme with 1 or 2 pics ^^.
I hate that song! XD I have to admit I don't like Aussie colours either, but I might vote for ya~ Except that you don't like GC XD. GC totally rock
Lol I think your definetly straightend out your sig the last time I saw it, I like how you made a pattern of blue, red, and white. But it kinda stops at the bottom where everything is brown, It's neat, the words are easy to read, and it's sort of got a nice pattern to it ^_^ 8.1/10
A lovley pic of a girl ^_^ she's cute! And the May sprite is really cool! The font you used matches the pic well, I think you need to add something to it that would catch someone's eye, but anyways: 9/10, just needs that little something ^^
9/10 i'm glad you corrected some things and made it more orginized ^_^ I think it's much better now ^_^ great job! *pokes kitty* XD
Your banner looks good. Howie Day...hmmm. I think I know him. ^^ Anyway it is centered very nice. 10/10! ^^
It's just not that great - I don't know who those people are in the pic, and the glow stuff is weird to read.
13 more post till i'm the top poster here XD oO it's a bit dull but nice colors could use a pic thou 7/10
10/10....I don't know...I think I will leave my serebii SIG for bands.....Woooo! I need to think of my favorite anime show now....
10/10....Before it was Dark Angel by VNV Nation and now its All Cried out by Wumpscut. But its not all the lryics. If it was them mt SIG would be too big....
I am an avid Pokemon player, and have been for almost 10 years. I have committed my memory every single one of the 802 'mons, and I have watched a good chunk of the anime and movies. However, because of my spending habits, I was not able to purchase a DS or any of the consequent games until just recently. I decided to buy Alpha Sapphire first, since I had emulated Emerald most, and have just recently finished the main storyline, and am now working to finish my Pokedex. I have decided to make a list...
OMG!!!! Hi SuicuneAngel! (i read in your profile you use the name 'binarypeaches' xD so i'm going to assume thats you)
Don't worry, i'm not a drama queen anymore. I'm actually like a pollyana more on general average now. :3 I've grown to more fully accept my girlyness, also i've fell in love with Korrina from pokemon x and y and she's actually a huge reason i'm a lot more of a happy and optimistic person now.
Also, awesome you're a pony fan and like sunset shimmer!!! :D Such awesome stuff. I've been watching my little pony friendship is magic ever since it first aired in 2010, and haven't missed a single episode. Its a really beautiful cartoon.
also where do you get sunset shimmer figurines :( i have all the mane 6 figurines except for rainbow dash, also sunset shimmer (which would make mane 7 but,,)
I HAVE 3 FAVORITES FROM EQUESTRIA GIRLS I LIKE SUNSET SHIMMER AND FROM THE NEW MLP MOVIE I LIKE TEMPEST SHADOW (i even have a stuffie of her that my boyfriend gave me for my birthday and have a tshirt of her that my mom got me for christmas and i have a pop figurine that i also got for christmas) :3 AND FROM THE MANE SERIES I LIKE FLUTTERSHY A LOT BUT TWILIGHT SPARKLE AND PINKIE PIE ARE CLOSE SECONDS
Dang, that sure is lucky! Biggest thing I've ever won were some boardgames...in a lottery with a multimillion jackpot. And if I can win mapping contests, you certainly can improve your drawing skills!
pffft. I envy you~ Studies are forcing me to use a computer, work requires me to sit behind a pc... And I even spend my free time behind one as well. XD Luckily you don't really need a pc to draw, unless you're into digital art. You can always draw me a cute holidays hyena =D
This emblem has Cherrim on it and is therefore the greatest ever. Anyone who disagrees will be banned.
c. might seem they are interested at first but quickly switches topics before you're done or don't respond or just face it they just don't care
I have a new Betta Fish. It's a Blue (with some red) Crowntailed Betta Fish. And he needs a name. So I'm asking for suggestions. Not sure if I'll go with any of them but since I have no idea myself I thought I would try this. If I do pick out a name out of all your suggestions for the name of my Betta I'll draw something for you.
And it is over at Pokemon Trivia that really needs more attention than it has been getting. It's none other than
Come answer trivial things or solve puzzles each week (or whatever amount of time you're given) and gain badges. After you gain all eight badges you'll receive the emblem of that region! There will often be multiple puzzles each time so that you can gain your emblems much sooner than if I tried to do one puzzle each time.
This will basically be the new, updated, version of Who's that Pokemon that includes more trivia puzzles, as well as more emblems and a little twist as to how you achieve them!
I'm looking for someone who can remake the jessie/james sprite in the above screenshot in gen 4 style. PM me if you can
A Pokemon Yellow remake, using HGSS Tiles, and the ability to obtain all Kanto Pokemon as well as their previous/later evolutions.
North Korea to enter state of war with South Korea and United States - Page 2 - The PokéCommunity Forums
The States actually sent a Missile Defense system to Guam earlier today, in case they decide to try any funny business.
That would make them irrational though. And the rational actor model is a pretty decent "edit: model" for explaining many political phenomena. The North Korean elite are content with a country of starving people. Anything that goes against that reduces their relative power, and they want to keep on the position they already have. That's why conservative can suck, and a rational explanation to their behaviour. Did you know that North Korea started some basic market-oriented, China-style reforms before all this news happened? No doubt some of the top brass had fit over that, feeling their own privilege being threatened.
Internal politicking, that is some elite faction trying to hold on/increase their private interest to the detriment of the public good, would give a pretty rational explanation to why the whole country has to suffer. While I don't think it's in human nature to be suicidal, it sure is in human nature to be selfish.
There are shreds of rationality when dealing with NK, not just one single logical approach. The 'reforms' you mention are just about as substantial as the constant stream of worthless statements being sent out by the press.
The vast majority of national security govt. heads/analysts agree that if a war were to happen, the entire North Korean army would be virtually decimated in 24-48 hours; I'm willing to bet real money that North Korea is quite aware of this as well. Jong-Un spent his teen years in Europe - he knows about his Hermit Kingdom. The trouble is getting this message across to the rest of the Party. Refugees are beginning to mention the fact that the general perspective isn't so much on superiority anymore as much as it is on the wish of achieving some sort of resolution in the end. The only sensible way to do this without driving the still-brainwashed military leadership even more crazy is by making Jong-Un himself assert his own leadership. How? By doing all this bullcrap we've been seeing lately.
There's a certain level of hope surrounding the idea that maybe Jong-Un does not actually want a conflict; he's just merely having some trouble weighing his wishes with how the rest of the country sees him: a young kid who's still inexperienced with the military and the country's 'objectives.'
It's really hard to estemate how effective our army would be against their's. Sure, we have the technological advantage, but we're forgetting how... what was the word... um... brainwashed loyal the people are despite how ****** of a situation they are in.
Sure, we can knock out their leadership easily enough - And their major military positions. But after that? It would be a much longer ground campaign. Where our technological superiority wouldn't, as the wars in Iraq and Trashcanistan Afghanistan show, be of that much use.
Still - This depends on how loyal the people really are. If they are as loyal as N.Korea says then this could easily turn into another long war.
And we can't forget that China still has a mutual defence agreement with N.Korea. And really, China is the only reason that we haven't dropped a bomb on Kim's doorstep yet.
Maybe Kim should get his hands dirty and purge the "party traitors". Maybe an inner party coup with his biggest enemies assassinated or demotions? I have a feeling that the military is extremely entrenched. Perhaps removing them in one fell sweep, something so shocking that his opponents can't react, is the only way of removing their influence. Machiavellian, but worth a shot :P
Mr. X: China doesn't have to guarantee North Korea's security. It's the stronger power, so it can do whatever it wants. When push comes to shove, North Korea can ask for assistance but treaties can be broken. And I really don't think that'll make China look bad, in fact it'll probably improve its international prestige by doing the only sensible thing XD.
The North Koreans, especially the peasant class are not a loyal people. That's brainwashing crap spun by Western media. Sure, the N. Korean government are coercing political loyalty, but you can't force someone to love you. In fact, some of the latest defectors have be talking about how the North Korean youth, who were born and grew up in the famine years, have no memories of Kim Il Sung, the leader that was actually worth two sh*ts and got stuff done. All they have are years of poverty, bright city lights of Liaoning to their north, and pirated South Korean dramas.
We cant nuke north korea cause the south is too close, japan is close and so is china, the result of nuking NK would be destivating to multiple countries, and none of them want that..
I think the north knows we wont do it either, only as a last resort and the other countries would protest...
I just wondered something. People only seem to think of nukes and nuking. So I wonder...what about the north korean cruise missiles? Surely they wont use just their (perhaps created) one-or few nuke/s? What I mean to say is that even mid range cruise missiles can cause damage. But I guess thats why the missile defence systems have been sent to guam. (was it guam?)
I wouldn't imagine the KPA to be bristling with cruise missiles like the Americans have Tomahawks. They do carry some Chinese-produced missiles but it's 60 year old soviet tech, and regardless the bulk of their arsenal is ballistic. They could probably mess up South Korea really bad though - over 50% of South Korea's population live within 80km, and it's only 400 km to the other end.
In the 50s - The US ignored the provisions in the Korean armistice that said no weapons were to be introduced to either side. The US, under a Republican president, determined that they didn't have to follow that provision and moved a lot of hardware, including nuclear weapons, into S.Korea.
Into the future, the 90's, we made a deal with them to end their nuclear program. Our side of the bargain was to provide them oil and construct two LWR reactors for their use. This was done under Democrat leadership, but when Republicans reook congress soon after the oil shipments started arriving late, because Congress refused to provide necessary funds for the project.
Foward to when Bush gets elected, the US then backs out of it's promise to build the reactors suspending the project
We've hand chances to improve relations - Sadly though, under Republican leadership, we determined that we didn't need to stay true to our word.
While N.Korea is making things worse with their recent actions, with as many times as the US ignored it's deals with them then it's no suprise that they refuse to bend to US demands. They've gotten tired of making deals with a country who hasn't held true to it's word.
The US had a chance to improve relations when Un took leadership as well - They could have lifted some santions as a gesture of good will in hopes of further negotiations. While they did offer food aid - It was suspended when N. Korea said they were planning to launch a satellite into space. Idiocy on the US's part - Instead, they should have offered to launch the satellite for them.
Well if war breaks out we are going to be bathed in radioactive isotopes and have our cells mutate and die. Yay!
Exactly and this is the part most people chose to overlook or ignore.. Its our fault this is happening and now we expect the north to be scared at our military might.. its like being a police officer and stealing or beating someone badly and expecting other ppl to accept it quietly without getting upset... it doesnt work like that, it never has never will. But if someone backed out of a deal with the US we'd just go and take what were owed, Iraq oil for instance..
You just can't compare Iraq with North Korea. The US backing out of 'a deal' was definitely not the cause of NK developing a fantastically massive cult of personality surrounding a very strange family that was put in charge of the country. The US backing out of 'a deal' did not cause said family to go on a military-first rampage transformation of a country whose apparent destiny was to become more and more isolated from the outside world by choice, with severe aggravations to those who opposed the decision.
Most importantly, the US backing out of 'a deal' was definitely not the single hand in the cause of all of the human rights violations that are going on at the moment, which are perhaps on a much more broader scope than the sheer famine (due to mismanagement of resources given to NK by aid across all these years) and collective 'genocide' and human labour exploration that is happening right now both within the country itself in the form of labour camps as well as in certain parts of Siberia in the form of exported labour for very low pay with very, very long-term 'contracts', whose workers are under the threat of any deviation in the safety of their families back home, that we are aware of.
The armistice agreement clauses did not cause this intimidating transformation of the Hermit Kingdom and its darkest patches; the country's government did this to itself and its own people, and it's only a matter of time before some sort of intervention takes place, whether through a war or through something else. Or, at least, one would hope, before it's too late.
The country did this because it felt diplomacy would no longer work - Caused by the US continuously refusing to adhere to it's agreements.
N.Korea is making a mistake by doing this true, but it's the US's actions that caused N. Koreas leadership to lose faith in diplomacy.
The thing is that unification was supposed to happen a long time ago - But the the US and the Soviet Union got into a cold war, which prevented unification from happening.
What shocks me is how the United States seems to be taking initiative if something happens. If anything, China has more right to regime change in North Korea. I think a joint Chinese-South Korea occupation would make the most sense. It would be terribly inappropriate if the United States intervened to a great degree in the Asian Sphere. Actually yeah, it would be rather insulting for the United States to intervene in Korea a second time.
Edit: South Korea would provide the economic leadership for a united Korea, and leaving China out of it would be insulting to the great power right next to its own border. If South Korea and China could agree, I don't think Japan would get involved, because that might be unacceptable to the Chinese and Korean publics.
All the new regime has to do is follow China-style reforms back in the 80's and 90's. With time, incomes will rise and the two Koreas may reunify.
If they strike South Korea before they do the US, China can come into play. But all of South Korea's allies would probably step up to the plate
Because the US intervening on the peninsula was half of the reason there's a North and South Korea in the first place. And Korea is in China's backyard, much like the Monroe doctrine and how Americans didn't want Europeans intervening. Furthermore, Korea borders China, and I think China would want a direct say in how things would get done, who will invest in the new regime, what they'll do about potential refugees, and so on. And Korea and Japan wouldn't want America to get too involved. While they're cautious of rising Chinese power, bringing in foreign influence has never lead to peace no matter where you are in the world (French and Spanish intervening in Italy, America in the Middle East).
So China + Korea have the most to gain. An analogy may be how the US freaked out over the Cuban missile crisis. While the US wouldn't go arming united Korea with nukes, mistrust over the going-ons in your backyard will drive the Chinese paranoid. Anyways, the US will probably allow China to decide how the occupation will be carried out. It's implied in the respect of a great power's "sovereignty" in its sphere of influence, and I don't think the US would throw that out the window.
Two medium-range missiles have been loaded onto mobile launchers in North Korea and are ready to be launched, South Korea's semi-official Yonhap news agency reported Friday, citing military sources in Seoul.
Things are about to get serious, I doubt a bluff would get this far especially if the KPA didnt want war. Which it seems to me it might just come down to.
It's two missiles. Two. Not even missile batteries - just two trucks with a rocket in the back. And these are ballistic, not cruise missiles so they're easier to intercept. A high-school student should have the knowledge to project the missile interception's path to the trajectory of the missile.
You're completely overlooking the fact that they are, well, missiles. Missiles are missiles. They are weapons that have the potential to destroy regardless of type or strength. And, in this case, they are in the wrong hands. Who knows what North Korea might do with them. Yeah, if they are launched, they can be shot down easily like you said, but that would initiate a war most likely, and we all know a countless number of innocent civilians and soldiers die in wars.
Two missiles would be tactically insignificant. They might be positioning their missiles as a threat, but they wouldn't be practical meaning the North Koreans are not intending to use them. Accidents are unlikely to occur. They would need coordinates and are likely commanded by a separate military branch, much like how ballistic missiles are handled by the Chinese military.
your forgetting they have alot of missiles hidden and what not, just cause we can see two doesnt mean anything and doesnt north korea have a few submarines?
most of their missiles are unguided though. And back to the point I was making, the two missiles are a posturing of the KPA. They do it to threaten, they're not making a militarily significant move.
IMO You dont taunt one of the most powerful countries in the world if you dont have a plan because like went said above what would they gain?...
First of all, you completely misinterpreted his post. Second, what NK gains from this is internal stability. Their new leader is untested and in a position to be overthrown by the military if he is seen as too weak. He's doing something outrageous to prove to his peers internally that he has the guts to stand up to the world at large. He knows that nobody's going to do anything so long as all they do it shout insults. Contrary to popular belief, even NK's leadership isn't stupid.
uhh what are you talking about? misinterpreted his post? How so, I just said I agreed with his point, "what would they gain"..
Their new leader is untested and in a position to be overthrown by the military if he is seen as too weak. He's doing something outrageous to prove to his peers internally that he has the guts to stand up to the world at large.
Now this is a huge gamble because it could cost him everything to assert his strength, assuming that's what he is trying to do in the first place. You seem to be assuming what most are this is to portray his strength, that North Korea doesn't stand a chance, I beg to differ on both assumptions but again that is my point of view on the situation. Also even if he asserts his strength, his country will now be cut off more from the rest of the world and stricter sanctions will probably be placed and his country struggling even more to support itself, so if you ask me playing a cat and mouse game with us or anyone isn't beneficial to him or anyone else..
I fail to see how loading missiles into launchers is anything close to shouting insults.. Thats not even a sick joke at a time like this, its playing with fire almost literally.
Yes. But, again, I think that all applies to if South Korea is attacked. If they attack the US (which in all honesty, I can't imagine something NK launches not falling into the ocean XD, but still. If they do manage to), then I think the US would be entirely justified in striking back regardless of what China may want. |

What a lovely sunny day it is here in London! At last, the sun has re-appeared and the daffodils are out and smiling. Such an encouraging time of year, I think. I’m not the biggest fan of the cold weather and delight in seeing signs of warmer times ahead. I do hope you’re getting some sun where you are, too.
If you’re a regular to my blog you will know that I came very close to losing my mum last year. She has bounced back like I never could have imagined! She is truly amazing. I’m very happy to report she celebrated her 81st birthday this month. We spent the day together, a couple of hours of tea and cake with her friends and neighbours, and then a few more hours just relaxing together while watching a bit of telly… before polishing off a bit more cake and generally laughing a lot.
This included us trying to do ‘selfie pouts’. I find them a bit silly and so it was funny to try out our best faces although the phrase “bulldog chewing a wasp” came to mind as we chuckled at our gurning. Daft old birds, the pair of us!
Cat lovers, I know you like to hear about Pixie & Popsie. I love hearing about your pets, too, so please let me about them in the comments below! I’m still in the process of finishing our home renovations but it always surprises me how the girls find themselves a comfy place to nestle down regardless of the chat which surrounds us. Here they are under the dining table giving my red chairs a lovely thick coating of white fur. Thank goodness for my Dyson! I’d be lost (and looking like the abominable snowman with their hairs all over me) without it.
My cats are quite big headed, it’s the breed. They are British Shorthairs. Pixie is the runt of the litter but Popsie has the typical features, including the large bonce! Sometimes I think it even gets a little heavy for her to hold up when she sleeps (here she is face planted’ in the chair!). I just find them adorable. They make me laugh.
My mum isn’t the only one celebrating this month. My beloved Clogau are marking 19 years on QVC this weekend! Clogau is a second generation family business based in Wales, and last year they celebrated their 25th anniversary (although their royal heritage and cultural legacy spans the last century). Their background, families, relationships and emotions are all important elements that make up their heritage and these remain of the utmost importance to Clogau and their customers. Every piece they create contains rare Welsh gold, the same gold as used by royalty for over 100 years.
We have lots of new designs, special pricing and guests of honour. Clogau ambassador (and all round lovely gent) Graham Stock will be with us, of course. Also joining Alison Keenan in Saturday’s 1pm show will be Ben Roberts, managing director of Clogau. It remains a family business to this day with Ben being MD and his sister, Sam, the designer.
We will also be welcoming Editor of Retail Jeweller magazine, Ruth Faulkner. Under Ruth’s stewardship the title has gone from strength to strength and is now recognised as the most-respected industry publication in its field. At almost 90 years old, Retail Jeweller is the oldest jewellery industry trade magazine in the UK. We all celebrated with Clogau last year as they won Bridal Collection of the Year and the highly coveted Brand of the Year at the Retail Jeweller UK Jewellery Awards.
I’m thrilled to be unveiling some new designs I’ve been working on. One is an adaptation of the Preseli bluestone ring, which we have also previously created in a pendant. This time it’s a pair of gorgeous earrings. I must admit to having my favourite, though.
This is a matching ring to the very necklace I worked on with Sam (read the story here). Here’s a little photo – I’ve bought mine already!
I’ve recently been throwing myself into learning the Welsh language. It’s something I’ve intended to do for years but only ever learned a few phrases. I find Wales, its heritage and language rather magical and, seeing as so many people have referred to me as being an ‘honorary Welsh’ woman due to my passion for the nation, it seems a natural desire for me. Thanks for bearing with me if I get it wrong sometimes but maybe you can call in to my shows at 8pm and 11pm on Saturday so we can have a little natter in Welsh? English speakers, of course, welcome also!
Hi Catherine your cats are beautiful. I have had 2 British Shorthairs and although sadly not with me still I miss them terribly. They really are a wonderful breed of cat. I now have 2 Bengal cats that are both 6 years old (brother & sister) and they are so vocal, I never realised that they would make so much noise! Glad to hear that your mum is doing so well.
Lovely to hear from you. I’m so sorry your little British Shorthair kitties are only here in your memories now but I’m also so happy that they made such an impact of love upon you. They are such special cats, they really are.
I hadn’t realised Bengal cats were vocal. I’ve never seen one in person but they look fairly large from the videos I’ve seen of them. Very beautiful, too.
Thanks for your kind words about my mum. I know she reads the blogs and has been very touched by how many people, like yourself, have been so generous in taking time to write and ask after her.
Glad you’re learning the Welsh language. It must be hard for you not being Welsh. In Wales it is compulsory to learn it in school to a certain age-well it was when I was in school many moons ago! Did you watch the rugby last night? Another win!!!! I know you went a few years ago.
Wow your Mum looks well bless her as she went through such much recently. I expect she enjoyed her birthday, lovely cake, looks good enough to eat.
The comments you made in your last blog to me where I mentioned about the dogs I had lost in the last year were very touching thank you. You are always such a caring sweet person.
Love the Clogau jewellery, so delicate and pretty, will have to look out for that show. Looking forward to seeing your designs, love the pendant.
Lovely to see your gorgeous Mum, Catherine. She looks really well! My Mum and yours are a year apart; my Mum was 80 a few weeks ago. And great to hear about your involvement again with Clogau – you’re so clever learning Welsh! Lots of love and see you soon xxx
Nice to hear from you. I’m still cracking on with the Welsh. I actually did watch the rugby! Well, when I say watch I had it on with subtitles as practice to help me familiarise myself with Welsh when it’s spoken quickly. Even I got caught up in the excitement near the end, though!
I’m sorry to hear you are struggling just now. I do hope things are getting better for you and I’m sending you a virtual hug.
Lovely to hear from you again. My mum is doing so well. I swear she’s going backwards in age instead of forwards! She’s lost a lot of weight and is so much healthier (despite the choccy cake).
Thanks for taking the time to come visit me on my blog! Happy belated 80th birthday wishes to your mum. I hope she enjoyed her milestone birthday. Shame we don’t live closer or we could have set them up on a pensioner play date! Haha! 🙂
Lovely to see you around at work but our shifts do mean we are like ships passing in the night!! Hope to see you soon, marvellous Marv!
I appreciate it must be a very bittersweet time. I hope you have lovely memories to remind you of happy times.
Hi Catherine …Awww your Cats look so beautiful are they fussy eaters ? i have a couple of cats peppa And Daisy 2 sisters got they from Peterborough cat rescue had them about a year and they love sleeping and eating in that order lol but also love lots of fuss ..Wishing you good luck hopefully spring is not far away ! best Wishes David x |
150,585,755 | THE treatment of Burma’s Muslim Rohingya people following violence that has left hundreds dead is a ‘campaign of ethnic cleansing’, a Bolton MP has warned.
Burmese security officials and insurgents from the Rohingya are accusing each other of burning down villages and committing atrocities in the west of the country.
Over a number of years there had been ‘systematic’ rape, murder, burning and beheading of people in the Rohingya community, the Bolton South East MP said.
She added: “This is one of the worst outbreaks of violence in decades, yet the international community is effectively remaining silent as we watch another Srebrenica and Rwanda unfold before our eyes.”
Foreign and Commonwealth Office minister Mark Field responded: “Our Government will do all it can to condemn where condemnation is the right way forward, but she is well aware the politics of Burma are incredibly tense and incredibly difficult.”
Ms Qureshi said she was disappointed by the response ‘suggesting as if somehow the Rohingya Muslims and these people had caused this to occur’.
His comments also drew criticism from the Tory former chair of the Foreign Affairs select committee, Crispin Blunt.
Mr Blunt praised the ‘tone and manner’ of the urgent question, adding how ‘disappointed’ he was ‘with the tone of the minister which sounded pretty close to dumping the blame for this ethnic cleansing on the victim community’. He added that Aung San Suu Kyi was leading a government and military forces ‘who are associated with behaviour that is utterly unacceptable by any standard at all’.
Unicef says the number of Rohingya fleeing Rakhine is now more than 125,000, 80 per cent of whom are women and children.
Clean-air zones not the way to tackle air pollution problem says Bolton's environment chief | The Bolton News
THE ‘stick’ of a clean air charge to force drivers to upgrade to less polluting vehicles is not the way to address the problem, Bolton’s environment chief has warned.
Cllr Nick Peel was speaking after it emerged that Greater Manchester had been discussing the possibility of introducing a charge for motorists to enter the regions most polluted areas.
And while this is understood to mainly apply to Manchester City Centre, it could also apply to Bolton, where the areas in the south of the borough, close to the M60 and M61 motorways are believed to be the worst affected.
Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is set to launch a public consultation in the near future to gather opinions of people across the city region.
The problem of illegally high levels of air pollution is not confined to the north west – the UK government was referred to the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in May over its failure to tackle illegal levels of air pollution, having been given a final warning by the European Commission at the beginning of the year.
The ECJ has the power to impose huge fines on countries who do not take rapid steps to address the problem.
And Cllr Peel says Bolton could potentially come under pressure to introduce clean-air zones, as a result of the failure to tackle illegally high levels of nitrogen dioxide in most urban areas.
“But the problem is the government is being sued because it’s failing to hit it’s failing to hit its pollution target so is passing the buck down to the local authorities and telling them to consider various forms of charging.”
However, Cllr Peel says that Greater Manchester’s ten leaders believe the onus should be on the government to take a national lead and set out a strategy for bringing down on vehicle pollutants.
In 2009 the government introduced a scrappage scheme, under which motorists were paid £1,000 to encourage them to by a new car, as part of attempts to galvanise the economy following the banking crisis.
And Cllr Peel believes a similar scheme would provide the impetus for drivers to upgrade to cleaner vehicles as a solution to the scourge of nitrogen dioxide emissions, which are believed to kill around 40,000 people every year.
He said: “We would want to see a national scrappage scheme, that would be a solution that would cut down on harmful emissions.
“Their idea is that if you have some kind of polluting vehicle, be it an HGV or a private car then having to pay would be the ‘stick’ to upgrade your car, while I think the best solution is the ‘carrot’ – financial incentives to upgrade your polluting car.”
The following statement was released Dec. 11 by the Archdiocese of Boston: The Chancellor for the Archdiocese of Boston, James McDonough, held a series of meetings with the Board of Governors of Caritas Christi and trustee members from each of its six hospitals to brief them on the current status of the strategic review.
Announced in late August, Caritas Christi Health Care, in consultation with the Archdiocese of Boston and its representatives, is engaged in a review of Caritas' position in the New England health care market.
In addition to updating the Governors and trustees on the status of the strategic analysis, Mr. McDonough also sought their input as the Archdiocese continues to work with Navigant Consulting.
Mr. McDonough said, “We met with the Governors and trustees in order to provide an update on the strategic analysis currently underway regarding Caritas Christi Health Care. Our goals in conducting this review are: to ensure that we are providing the best possible health care to the patients we serve; to support the many Caritas employees who serve patients with extraordinary care and commitment; to maintain fidelity to the religious and moral tradition of Catholic health care in the Archdiocese of Boston; and to provide for a continued strengthening of Caritas’ financial condition, which is necessary to compete effectively in a highly competitive health care market.”
He added, “While there are four main options under consideration, we are actively exploring two at this juncture; to maintain sole ownership while continuing to grow Caritas Christi or to affiliate with a national Catholic health care system. It is our intent to conclude this process with a formal decision by late January/early February 2007.”
South Boston, MA - Following a rapid 45% decline in enrollment since 2003 and increased costs to operate, St. Mary Elementary School, located at 52 Boston Street in South Boston, announced it will close at the conclusion of the current academic year on June 30, 2008.
Currently there are 105 students enrolled, down from 148 one year ago. School personnel expect that no more than 85 students would be enrolled for the 2008-2009 school year making it financially impossible to continue operating the school.
In making the announcement, Rev. Jerzy Auguscik OFM Conv., Pastor of Our Lady Of Czestochowa Parish in South Boston said, "St. Mary's has provided an outstanding Catholic education to children of all ethnic backgrounds for close to 100 years. The principals and teachers who have served the children and families in our school well over the years and have provided an excellent education and a strong formation in faith."
Every student currently enrolled is guaranteed a seat in one of the neighboring Catholic schools. The Catholic School Office for the Archdiocese will work closely with parents to provide for a smooth transition to one of the schools, which include Gate of Heaven Elementary School (609 East Fourth Street), St. Brigid Elementary School (866 East Broadway) and the newly established Pope John Paul II Catholic Academy in Dorchester/Mattapan.
Parents will be informed of upcoming Open Houses at a neighboring Catholic school. Teachers and staff will be placed on a priority list to be considered for openings at another Catholic school.
Fr. Auguscik added, "It is part of my pastoral responsibility to make this challenging and difficult decision and deliver it to the school community in a timely manner. Change is always difficult. It is especially painful when the change involves a school that is loved by so many."
Teachers were notified of the decision at a Friday, January 25th meeting followed by a meeting with parents that evening. Currently there are 10 teachers and 15 staff members (i.e., volunteers, aides, secretary, janitor) employed at St. Mary's.
Parents are encouraged to direct their questions and concerns to the school, which is working closely with the Catholic School Office to provide for the transition.
Amazing Parishes already exist in the Archdiocese of Boston and many more are working hard to become amazing.
A group of committed Catholics have established the website amazingparish.org, "to help parishes be amazing by connecting them to great resources." Their research identifies seven traits that contribute to making a parish amazing: reliance on prayer; a real leadership team; clear vision; Sunday experience; compelling formation; small group discipleship; missionary zeal. Over the next weeks we will examine these traits, and their interconnectedness, and see how some parishes are developing them. This week, we will look at prayer, leadership, and vision.
1) A Reliance on Prayer -- This seems obvious, but maybe not. The site amazingparish.org acknowledges that every parish is a place of prayer, but cautions, "when it comes to running our parishes, we all too often forget that prayer must be central, and that God wants us to turn to Him, every day, with intentionality and regularity." Two words jump out: intentionality and regularity. Staff and parishioners are called to really focus on what the parish needs today and tomorrow. A few parishes in the archdiocese show their reliance on prayer by offering perpetual adoration and many have eucharistic adoration weekly. St. Monica Parish, Methuen, a Phase I collaborative parish, meets in prayer and adoration twice monthly to pray for all priests. A Phase II collaborative has a Saturday morning Men's Prayer Group that has been meeting for 25 years.
2) A Real Leadership Team -- Amazing Parish consultant and businessman Pat Lencioni says that building a team, more than anything, "comes down to courage and persistence.... When people come together and set aside their individual needs for the good of the whole, they can accomplish what might have looked impossible on paper. They do this by eliminating the politics and confusion.... They get more done in less time and with less cost. The measure of a true team is that it accomplishes what it sets out to achieve." Great descriptive words: courage, persistence, the good of the whole. Gathering a real leadership team goes hand in hand with the next trait...
3) A Clear Vision -- A song popular in the 1970s had a great opening line: "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone, I can see all obstacles in my way." Writing about a parish vision, Amazing Parish advises, "What's most important is that your parish has an idea of where it is headed and what it wants to be." The vision is the agreed upon destination in the parish GPS. It is what the parish sees clearly, including the obstacles.
A member of the leadership team in a Phase I collaborative, after 18 months of collaborative experience, speaks passionately that clergy, staff, and parishioners involved in developing the vision must also be people of prayer who take their task seriously and make it part of their own personal prayer. Some collaboratives have taken a name (e.g. Cranberry Collaborative; Matthew 13 Catholic Collaborative). One may ask, why bother? What's in a name? But discussions about choosing a name can help clarify the vision, how the collaborative sees itself as an evangelizing community of faith.
Phase I parishes have submitted drafts of their local pastoral plans. Months of meetings and hours of hard work and prayer went into articulating a vision unique to each collaborative and determining priorities, goals, and strategies to help parishioners live out the vision. When finalized, these plans will provide a three year road map uniting parishioners, clergy, leadership team, councils and staff with a clear vision. Ultimately, with God's grace, the lived vision will lead people to a deeper union with Jesus Christ and a zeal to share the gift of faith with others.
Amazing Parishes already exist in the Archdiocese of Boston and many more are working hard to become amazing. Focusing on prayer, leading with courage, and communicating a clear vision are good goals for the New Year.

The much-maligned, albeit explosive, Victorian all-rounder has played down talk he is Australia's X-factor this Ashes series, starting with the first Test at the Gabba on November 23.
While he does want to stitch up a spot in the middle order, he wants do it with a measured approach, not the swashbuckling style fans have become used to from the "Big Show”.
"I think (selectors) made it pretty clear that they wanted the top six batters in the country and I want to put my hand up and be one of them.
"I have ability to score quickly at stages but I think the way I've been playing recently, I've been more concentrating on just playing good cricket shots and making sure that I'm there for a longer period of time.”
He then came in at No.5 in Australia's last Test, against Bangladesh in Chittagong, with Hilton Cartwright following at six.
Having tightened his technique, he's been promoted to No.3 for the Bushrangers this season, and put his case forward with scores of 64 and 60 during their second-round draw with South Australia.
"I feel like I'm starting ahead of the pack because I played the last Test (in Bangladesh) and I think I was undefeated,” he said, referring to his scores of 38 and 25 not out.
"Even if it was in a different country, I feel like I batted quite well and I showed some really good signs.
WA all-rounder Cartwright, meanwhile, made a pair of ducks against NSW, putting Jake Lehmann, with scores of 103 and 93 in the last Shield game for South Australia, right in the frame for No.5 or No.6.
"He played well last week but his three first-class games before that I think he got to 20 once and it was 25.
"He got a hundred last week and a 90 but he wasn't the best player in the game. That was Callum Ferguson and he got 180 ... It was a good wicket.
"All of a sudden we have got this bat-off situation where if you get a hundred, you are in the Test team. It's crazy.
Jackson Bird, meanwhile, appears to have beaten off the challengers for a place in Australia's first Test squad.
Bird, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will be rested from next week's Shield round and sent to Brisbane, where they will train as a unit at the National Cricket Centre.
NSW trio Starc, Cummins and Hazlewood are certain to be Australia's first Test attack, with Bird 12th man.
The resting of Australia's first-choice pace trio from NSW's Shield match against Queensland could be good news for Bulls Test aspirants Matt Renshaw and Usman Khawaja.
Favorite verse: Exodus 4:11-12 And the LORD said unto him, Who hath made man’s mouth? or who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD? Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.
Description of class: We emphasize respecting and loving one another. We focus on our lessons but have limitless time for questions about the lesson, the Bible, or the world around us and how we should handle it as Christians.
Vision for class: To graduate to the teen class with a deep understanding and relationship with Jesus and each other.
From John: Christ and church activities make up a big part of who I am. I am involved in worship through music at the church and also lead our youth Group called ‘The Verge’. It’s amazing to see young people understanding the word of God and enjoying being involved in ministries such as serving at the Veteran’s Restoration Quarters.
I woke up at 3 a.m. That’s not unusual for me. It’s when I do my best worrying. Nothing like trying to be a good mom after a good long night of sleepless worry.
Worry. This is one of those things we mommas do well. We worry about our kids—the decisions they make and the hardships they face. We worry about most of the parenting decisions we make and whether we’ve got it right. We do this, even though we know, in the words of Corrie ten Boom, that “worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow. It empties today of its strength.”
So how we can move from being moms who are weighed down with worry to moms who parent freely with wonder – the hopeful expectation of what God is doing in the lives in our kids? Let’s start here, with the wise words of the apostle Paul:
Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6–7 NLT)
Paul says, “Instead of worrying, pray!” Take it all—every last bit of it—to God. He doesn’t say, “Pray about some things.” He says, “Pray about everything.”
And when we do, Paul assures, we will experience the peace we crave. Peace that will guard our overwhelmed hearts and our 3 a.m. minds.
The peace our hearts crave in the midst of all the pressure— the peace that “exceeds anything we can understand”—can be found in only one place. And it isn’t in problem-solving. It’s in prayer.
Our prayers have a profound impact on our kids’ lives. In fact, I think it’s fair to say prayer is the most powerful thing we can do for our kids.
Now maybe you already know that. Maybe you already know how powerful prayer is, and yet, like me, your prayer life doesn’t always reflect that truth. You know what I mean? So nobody needs to be reminded of this more than I do. I worry mostly because it hurts to see our kids struggle, but also because I struggle to know what to do.
Thankfully, James, the brother of Jesus, has good words for us about our struggle. He writes, “If you don’t know what you’re doing, pray to the Father. He loves to help” (James 1:5 MSG).
Okay, my fellow mom. How often do you feel like you don’t know what you’re doing as a parent? James tells us to pray to our all-knowing, all-loving heavenly Father who loves to help.
Then James goes on to write, “You’ll get his help, and won’t be condescended to when you ask for it. Ask boldly, believingly, without a second thought” (James 1:6 MSG).
Friend, we do our best parenting through prayer! So what in the world are we doing settling for anything less than that?
Looking for help and advice on raising your kids? We launched an online course dedicated to just that. Class starts today!
Sources on the internet report that Amazon is going to join the Social Network market with its own messaging app called Anytime and it will compete with Messenger, WhatsApp, and the likes. It is expected that you only need a user name and you will be good to go, no need to link your phone numbers to the app.
In order to talk to someone, you only need to mention their name using @username and a conversation will be started. Photos and other content will be shared in a similar fashion. The chats can be color coded to identify important users and there are possibilities of other functions as well food ordering and so on.
Amazon hasn't commented on the news story yet but it originates from the all reliable TechCrunch so there might be a solid possibility that this messaging app will soon become a reality. |

NZ On Air has announced big changes to the way it funds local content. From next July, it will move to a single public media fund, covering many types of content, for different audiences. This will replace the multiple funds and strategies that currently exist. Kathryn Ryan talks to Chief Executive Jane Wrightson about what this will mean for viewers and listeners.
An expert in marine sanctuaries is warning huge marine protected areas like the one planned by New Zealand's government around the Kermadec Islands could actually be undermining conservation efforts. There has been huge uptick in efforts to seal off parts of ocean to fishing and mineral extraction recently, but Dr Peter Jones, an expert in marine protected areas at University College London, says they are being focused on remote parts of the ocean where very little fishing and drilling actually happens.

Duwayne Toetu Pailegut was beaten and partly paralysed in June 2007, but it was another eight days before the seven-year-old died. He was found unconscious at his home in Stoke on 2 July.
Johnny Pukerua Joachim, 37, was sentenced on Wednesday at the High Court in Nelson. He previously pleaded guilty on 2 September.
Justice Dobson said Joachim severely beat the boy with his fists and a cricket stump after finding he had left his jersey at school.
The court was told the boy was left partly paralysed by the initial attack and died with 75 external injuries.
Joachim refused to allow medical assistance and tried to shock the boy back to consciousness with cold showers and applying pressure to his chest to make him vomit.
Mary Joachim, 28, has been charged with failing to provide the necessaries of life for her son. She will appear at a depositions hearing in November.
Nayland School says the boy's absence raised no suspicions at the time. Principal Janice Gulbransen says the school had not been worried as it believed the family was holidaying in Auckland.
Formula One's drivers have declared their support for the 'rebel' teams and backed their threats of creating a breakaway series if they cannot resolve the sport's current crisis.
After a meeting with the teams at the Turkish grand prix, drivers' spokesman Italian veteran Jarno Trulli said that if there was no settlement before this Friday, the drivers were ready for a split in the sport.
Trulli said the drivers in general were upset at the scale of the crisis and the way they've been ignored regarding major changes proposed by the FIA for next year's championship. |
226,349,719 | With worsening smog levels turning Delhi (NCR) into a virtual gas chamber, demand for air purifiers and masks is at an all-time high. Delhi experienced the worst smog in 17 years after Diwali, with PM2.5 readings, which have a safe limit of 60 micrograms per cubic meter, having gone up to an alarming 900 in some parts of the city last week. The situation triggered a spurt in the purchase of air purifiers and masks in the national capital.
“I bought an air purifier and masks primarily because of my children. My son and daughter were complaining about discomfort in breathing after Diwali night,” says Prasanna Singh, a resident of Alakhnanda in South Delhi. However, he’s clueless about the effectiveness of the masks and air purifier. He adds,
Prasanna isn’t the only one expressing concern over the quality of masks and purifiers; YourStory spoke to several people who purchased them – all seemingly unaware of the true effectiveness of the products.
When it comes to air purifiers, one tends to look at the lower and mid-range products in the market and get excited by the area covered and the lower prices (in the range of Rs 10,000-20,000). One must read the fine print – these devices have inferior motors and far inferior filters.
The first thing to look at in an air purifier is the filter. “Please do not fall for the easy to wash and insert specs. Air purifiers don’t work the same way as air conditioners; a washable filter may not be ridding your room of any pollutants,” says Pavneet Puri, co-founder of Kurin Systems.
The most necessary aspect of a filter is the pre-filter, which gets rid of pollen, dust, animal hair and volatile contaminants.
Currently, there are 100 air-product companies looking to grab a larger share of the market. Among the most popular brands in the market are Daikin, Blue Air, Olans and Philips as well as more recent entrants like Xiaomi (which makes low-cost air purifiers); brands like Kent and Kurin are also planting their feet firmly in the market.
High Efficiency Particulate Arrestance (HEPA) is a major necessity in getting rid of fine particulate matter. Most companies fail to mention the level of HEPA they use in their devices, thus failing to mark out the purity level. “Any device without HEPA should be considered a big ‘if’,” says Vikash Juneja, an ENT expert at a leading hospital chain. He cautions,
It is advisable to stay away from devices that boast of five to seven layers of filtration as these claims are mere marketing tactics that actually intend to mislead users.
The second most important factor is the CADR (Clean Air Delivery Rate) in air filters. Companies often try to fool customers by saying that their products can clean large areas; however, the product could in fact have minimal capacity in air dispensing. Looking for the CADR is key. Pavneet explains,
A purifier with a lower CADR (200-300 m3/h) will generate no change in some of the most polluted parts of our country; it would just serve the purpose of eye candy.
With a majority of schools making masks mandatory, the sales of pollution masks have jumped multifold in the past few days. “While generic pollution masks are seeing a jump in demand, Dettol Air Protect masks and N100s are the best sellers, followed by the Atlanta Healthcare Cambridge N99 masks,” says an Apollo Pharmacy executive in Gurgaon’s sector 25.
Last week, Amazon revealed that sales of pollution masks have jumped six times in the last few days, with customer demand shooting up to 13 times that of last year. The demand is largely driven by Delhi and adjacent cities.
At present, 90 percent of the masks worn by people are surgical masks. The initial object of these masks was to keep germs from a doctor, resulting from sneezing or coughing, away from a patient undergoing surgery. Expert reports find these masks to make no difference when it comes to pollution as the concerned particles are too fine to be caught by the masks. Harpreet Singh, senior research fellow at IISER, Mohali, explains.
The popular masks that were usually sold in hardware stores but are now being sold as luxury masks are N95, N99 and N100, which can only be worn with the help of a licensed practitioner and be fit professionally, to make sure there is a tight seal; even a minute leak renders it useless.
He further adds that they are absolutely useless on men with beards and are, when fitted properly, so uncomfortable that they can’t be worn for too long.
Some reports suggest that even though they can protect against very large pollutants, they literally have no effect on the mid-level and smaller poisonous particulate matter, which our air is abundant in. Harpreet adds,
We’ve all have experienced static electricity in one way or another. Those unexpected little shocks we get when we touch a doorknob or some other metallic object, the balloons that stick to the wall after being rubbed in the head, or hair itself standing straight when it comes close, all are produced by static electricity. Most of the time it is produced when two objects come in contact or are rubbed together.
All materials are made up of molecules, and all molecules have tiny atoms, with positively charged protons, neutral neutrons, and negatively charged electrons. Most of the time an atom is neutral with the same number of protons and electrons. When an atom’s proton and electron numbers are uneven, the electron dance begins. If you place two different materials next to each other, electrons will start jumping from one material to the other.
Static electricity is generated when any material gains or loses electrons and becomes positively (when it loses electrons) or negatively charged (when it gains electrons). The accumulated charges are what’s called static electricity. Conductive materials like metals and carbon hold onto their electrons tightly, whereas insulating materials, such as plastic, can be charged by friction because they easily gain or lose electrons.
In 600 BC, the Greek philosopher Thales[1] observed that some combinations of materials have more potential to make sparks fly than others. Materials can be catalogued in order of their tendency to become charged, from positive to negative. The lower an item sits on the list, the more likely it will attract more electrons and become negatively charged. Rubbing objects far from each other on the list creates a bigger charge than objects closer together. For example, polishing a glass plate with a silk scarf electrifies the scarf so that it acts like a magnet.
When you stride across a wool carpet in leather shoes, your shoes pick up extra electrons from the carpet with each step. By the time you lift your foot up off the ground, the electrons will have spread around your entire body, giving you a negative charge. The next time you put your foot on the carpet, your shoe doesn’t have any extra electrons, but your head might. So more electrons make the leap to your foot.
“As you keep walking across the floor, you become full of electrons,” said Todd Hubing, from the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory at the University of Missouri-Rolla. “Eventually more electrons don’t want to come up on you because you’re so charged up. You end up with a high voltage, about 20,000 to 25,000 volts.” That’s serious power at your fingertips, considering a normal electrical outlet on the wall is only around 100 volts[2] of electricity.
Dust removal: There are some appliances that can eliminate dust from the air, like air purifiers. They use static electricity to alter the charges in the dust particles so that they stick to a filter of the purifier that has an opposite charge as that of the dust (opposite charges attract each other). This effect is also used in industrial smokestacks to reduce the pollution that they generate. The effect is basically the same as the home air purifier. .
Photocopy: Copy machines use static electricity to make ink get attracted to the areas where we need the information copied. It uses the charges to apply the ink only in the areas where the paper to be copied is darker (usually this means text or other information) and not where the paper is white, this process is called xerography.
Car painting: To make sure a car’s paint is uniform and that it will resist the high speeds and weather to protect the car’s metal interior, it is applied with a static charge. The metal body of the car is submerged in a substance that charges it positively, and the paint is charged negatively.
This process ensures a uniform layer of paint, since when there is enough negative paint in the car the extra will be repelled by the paint already in the car. It also ensures that the paint won’t fall off.
The brainchild of Dutch designer Daan Roosegaarde, the tower is undergoing last -minute checks in Beijing’s 751 D Park art area. The public, meanwhile, are bemused by the tower’s function and have called on authorities to curb dangerous sources of polluting particles.
The Smog Free Tower will soon be opened to the public, and will be toured across the country, the Legal Daily reported, quoting China Forum of Environmental Journalists, an NGO under China’s Ministry of Environmental Protection.
According to the Studio Roosegaarde website, the 7-meter-tall tower can capture about 75 percent of PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles in its vicinity and then release purified air to create a “bubble” of fresh air around it. The tower can clean 30,000 cubic meters of air per hour through its patented ozone-free ion technology.
Liu Guozheng, CFEJ secretary-general, told the newspaper that bringing the tower to Beijing is intended to warn authorities never to forget their duty and encourage the public to pull together to combat the smog.
Beijing has been plagued with heavy smog since the beginning of October. The city’s environmental authorities issued a yellow alert for air pollution Tuesday afternoon.
Netizens expressed their frustration over the tower. “The so-called divine smog cleaner is more like a piece of performance art, which makes almost zero difference to cleaner air in the city. It devours the polluted air and exhales fresh air, but so little it won’t make any difference. The air will stay polluted,” said one Sina Weibo user.
What is one of the hottest gifts in China? Perhaps you could give “the gift that keeps on giving”: an indoor air purifier. They certainly are all the rage in China since last year, with skyrocketing sales and sold-out inventories after the trio of highly publicized airpocalyptic crises. I think this is a good turn of events: plenty of independent testing,including mine, has documented that a good air purifier can dramatically improve your indoor PM2.5 by 80% or more. But is there any good data that proves that this actually makes you healthier? It seems logical, of course, that decreasing exposure to pollution would decrease harmful health effects. But medical history is filled with tales of common sense and tradition that later turn out to be worthless or harmful — like bloodletting, or the more modern tradition of multivitamins. A big percentage of people reading this article take a daily multivitamin, assuming it’s “healthier” to do so, but the best evidence shows they are worthless, and possibly harmful. Could air purifiers be the same?
In theory and in testing, a good purifier should improve a room’s pollution levels more than 80%; this80% reduction is also what the private Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) uses in their clean air delivery rate (CADR) tests, which are widely cited in comparison charts of air purifiers. So let’s say you’ve installed a top-of-the-line purifier in your living room, feeling quite safe and cozy. But how much of your time is actually in that filtered room? Or maybe the purifier is too small for that room size, or the filters are old, or the fan speed is too low, or the windows are open? Even this commonly cited CADR test is just a lab test for only 20 minutes — what about in the real world? I want to take this conversation to the next level, seeking out proof that your health will improve when using these machines. I want to be able to tell my patients and readers that there are published research studies which followed people over many months or even years, compared them to a control group not using air purifiers, and measured their health to see if there was any improvement in heart and lung disease, cancers and death rates. Are there any such studies?
searched the Pubmed scientific database to find the best studies, and I was disappointed but not surprised to find very little strong data. A properly designed research project like this would be very difficult and expensive. But there are a few attempts, especially studies looking at using HEPA filters to help children with asthma. One was a systematic review published in 2002, which found that air filters helped to improve asthma symptoms — but the effect was small, and there was wide variation between studies which made conclusive assessments difficult. A more recent, very well designed study published in Pediatrics in 2011 followed two hundred children with asthma who also were exposed to secondhand smoke at home, and gave half of the kids a true HEPA purifier and the other half a fake purifier for their bedrooms. After a year, the HEPA group of children had less doctor visits for asthma flares, which possibly — but not conclusively — could be due to the 25% decrease in PM2.5 in their homes.
Other studies have focused on allergies, including an interesting study from 2008 which assessed children with documented pet allergies, following them over a year and recording lung function and blood markers. After a year, those who used HEPA air purifiers showed no clear difference in lung function, use of allergy medicines, or blood markers of allergies. Another study back in 1990 was a bit more impressive, showing not only a 70% reduction in indoor PM0.3 but also improved patient symptoms of allergies.
All of these hint at health benefits, but they still dance around the edges of what I want to know for us in China and the developing world. In the USA, most of the air purifier marketing and testing focuses on allergies and asthma. But here in the developing countries, the air pollution is much more severe and thus the health risks are far more serious. We are worried about pollution’s long-term risks of death, heart and lung disease and cancer. These studies I just mentioned still aren’t answering that deeper question: can long-term use of indoor air purifiers prevent death, heart and lung disease, and cancer?
The best study I found was published in January 2013 in Indoor Air. It was very well designed for this complicated type of study, being a randomized double-blind crossover study of 20 homes over three weeks, using an air purifier or a placebo purifier. Their main goal in this remote First Nations community in Canada was to assess whether air purifiers could improve cardiorespiratory health. As their abstract says,
“…each home received an electrostatic air filter and a placebo filter for 1 week in random order, and lung function, blood pressure, and endothelial function measures were collected at the beginning and end of each week… On average, air filter use was associated with a 217-ml increase in forced expiratory volume in 1 second, a 7.9-mm Hg decrease in systolic blood pressure, and a 4.5-mm Hg decrease in diastolic blood pressure. Consistent inverse associations were also observed between indoor PM2.5 and lung function. In general, our findings suggest that reducing indoor PM2.5 may contribute to improved lung function in First Nations communities.”
This same Canadian research team had earlierpublished a similar study, testing 45 non-smokers for 7 days in 20 homes that used wood stoves, comparing health effects with or without HEPA purifiers. The people using the filters showed improved endothelial function and biomarkers of inflammation such as CRP. As most pollution researchers now see pollution as a pro-inflammatory disease, testing for such biomarkers could indeed be an accurate surrogate for later health problems. This approach is also being used in studies of air pollution masks, which I recently reviewed.
My take from these studies? Firstly, they all confirm what we already know: air purifiers can reduce the levels of indoor PM2.5, but with a wide range of effectiveness. Secondly are the more important results looking at health markers. I think the most encouraging finding was the First Nation study showing improvement in lung function, even in such a short amount of time (less than a month). Their data was a bit less convincing on blood pressure improvements, but perhaps a larger study would help confirm their initial findings of a slight improvement.
None of these studies are slam-dunk proof for me, but I honestly don’t know whether we ever will get many more well designed studies like these, unless governmental researchers or Gates-type philanthropists fund them. But until better studies come along, we must rely on what we do know:
Worsening PM2.5 causes deaths from all causes, especially heart and lung diseases and cancers. Many studies have shown this, including this 2013 meta-analysis of the population in China.
On the brighter side, long-term improvements in PM2.5 do help to decrease mortality. The best study was a huge epidemiological analysis of entire populations in American cities as the air improved from the 1970’s to 1990’s. Lifespans improved for everyone, for a multitude of reasons, and they estimate that 15% of the improved life expectancy was due to cleaner air.
Shorter studies have also shown improvements in health from better outdoor air pollution. The best designed study I’ve seen on this happened right here in Beijing, during the 2008 Olympics. A team of researchers followed 125 healthy young doctors before, during and after the Olympics, and found improved blood pressure, heart rate and other biomarkers of inflammation during those lovely days of improved air pollution. Another encouraging studyfollowed pregnant women and their babies in Tongliang, China both before and after a heavily polluting coal-fired power plant was forced to shut down in 2004, and found improved neurodevelopmental scores in newborns at age 2 years.
Is all of this enough to convince you to use an indoor purifier? For me, I was already convinced years ago — it’s not just common sense, it actually makes biochemical sense and also perfectly fits withthe precautionary principle: “When an activity raises threats of harm to the environment or human health, precautionary measures should be taken even if some cause and effect relationships are not fully established scientifically.”
According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), 50-80% of asthmatics develop symptoms before the age of five. This is why early detection and working with your child’s asthma specialist is important. Untreated asthma can lead to permanent damage to the airways making it difficult to bring the condition under control.
“Children whose immune systems are not fully developed are most at risk for developing asthma,” said Christopher C. Randolph, MD, FAAAI, and Vice-Chair of the AAAAI’s Asthma Diagnosis and Treatment Interest Section. “However, with early detection, the disease is easier to bring under control, improving the quality of life for your child.”
There are no clear markers to predict who will develop asthma and who won’t. However, there are clues and symptoms you can look and listen for in your child that may indicate asthma. Ask yourself these questions:
Does your child cough or clear his/her throat often, even when they aren’t sick? This could be constant or just intermittent. Not all children who have the disease exhibit symptoms each and every day.
Does your child complain of chest tightness? A young child may say his/her chest “hurts” or “feels funny.”
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions and you suspect that your child has asthma, schedule an appointment with an asthma specialist, such as an allergist/immunologist, a physician specially trained to manage and treat asthma and allergies. An allergist/immunologist will work closely with you to create a daily management plan for your child, demonstrate proper medication use, and develop an asthma action plan, which outlines the actions to take if your child’s condition worsens.
While there is no cure for asthma, complete control of the disease can be obtained with appropriate management and treatment. Learning your child’s asthma triggers and what steps to take to decrease symptoms is an important step to keep your child’s asthma under control. Children whose asthma is properly controlled should be able to participate in regular activities such as attending school every day and playing sports.
As schools in Beijing and other parts of northeastern China suspend classes because of the red alert over air pollution, many parents are demanding that air purifiers should be installed for the students.
With major pollution days becoming more frequent, students are staying home, often without supervision. Their parents say it would be better if their children were in the classroom, and that’s why schools need to install air purifiers.
“Our school bought air filters last year. We did a little fund raising, with each parent throwing in several hundred for that. We’ve already bought two air cleaners for the class, both of which are installed.”
To reduce the contaminants that lower air quality in the home, the Environmental Protection Agency first and foremost recommends minimizing or eliminating the sources of the pollution and increasing ventilation in order to replace bad air with good.
“[Air purifiers] may help control the levels of airborne particles including those associated with allergens.” – United States Environment Protection Agency (August 2009)
However, there are limitations to how much of each of these you can effectively do. Some pollution sources can be easily dealt with, but others cannot. Opening windows to increase air circulation is not always a convenient option, and as the Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers points out, ventilation is relatively poor in many modern homes, as they were designed to be “energy efficient” by reducing airflow to and from the outdoors as much as possible. The EPA therefore also recommends the use of air purifiers to supplement these other avenues of cleaning indoor air.
It is important to understand and accept the limitations of air purifiers in order to comprehend their usefulness. The EPA emphasizes that air cleaners are not meant to be a substitute for the other two methods of cleaning your home’s air described above. However, in conjunction with them, the EPA says that air purifiers “may help control the levels of airborne particles including those associated with allergens.”
Most air cleaners are not effective at removing unwanted gases, being designed instead to target unhealthy particles floating in the air. Among these particles, the relatively larger ones are often missed by the air cleaner because gravity pulls them to the ground more quickly than smaller particles, keeping them out of the purifier’s reach.
Therefore, no one should ever expect air cleaners alone to have a significant impact onindoor air quality. Nevertheless, a high-quality air cleaner can be used to improve certain aspects the air you breathe in your home, and can be an important part of your overall air-purifying strategy.
The main function of most air cleaners, therefore, is combating smaller contaminating particles. Research has shown that good air purifiers, even those of the smaller, portable variety, are up to 90% effective in reducing these smaller particles, such as those caused by cat dander and dust mites.
The EPA has certain recommendations regarding the use of portable air purifiers. In order to achieve maximum effectiveness, the portable air cleaner should be placed somewhere away from walls or other obstructions and positioned in such a way that the clean air is blown into open, occupied areas. If there is some specific source of pollution, the purifier should be placed nearby. Such purifiers work far better when all doors and windows of the room in which they are located are closed.
Do Air Purifiers Work For Mold Removal? – Partially. Some air purifiers may effectively remove mold particles from the air but are ineffective against killing mold spores. Spores are typically resistant even to UV light treatment. However, if spores become trapped in a filter, this does keep them from proliferating in your home. Careful and proper disposal of used filters is essential. We recommend changing filters outside your home to prevent unwanted release of trapped particles and spores.
Do Air Purifiers Work For Pet Allergies? – Partially. Some air purifiers can remove pet hair and dander trapped in the air. However, heavier pet dander particles often fall out of the air column and settle onto surfaces. Frequent cleaning is recommended. Also, keep pets out of sleeping areas to avoid contact with pet dander throughout the night and other sleeping times.
Do Air Purifiers Help With Hay Fever?– Depends on the source of your hay fever allergy. According to the Mayo Clinic, hay fever can be caused by various pollens, fungi and mold spores, dust mites or cockroaches, and pet dander. Air purifiers range in their effectiveness of cleaning the air of these particles depending on model type. Air purifiers are most effective at reducing pollen particles in the air column and are recommended by the Mayo Clinic. Dust mite feces, cockroach body parts and pet dander are typically heavier particles that fall out of the air column and must be cleaned from surfaces. Use allergen covers on bedding and pillows to protect against the most common exposure to dust mites. Keep pets out of sleeping areas. Use HEPA filter equipped vacuums to clean surfaces.
In conclusion, air purifiers, while not sufficient to deal with all the hazards of indoor air pollution on their own, are a useful tool which should not be overlooked by anyone interested in keeping his or her home’s air as clean as possible. When the air purifier is of good quality and used effectively, it has an important role to play in the fight against the toxins and irritants that infest our inside air.
Air purifiers are most effective at removing particles that remain trapped in the air column such as various pollens, dust, and some molds
Air purifiers are not very effective with dust mite allergies since these allergens tend to remain on surfaces like pillows, bedding, furniture etc.
Air purifiers have mixed results with pet allergens due to these particles not always remaining long enough in the air column to be filtered effectively
Air purifiers are one solution to providing healthy indoor air and should be used in conjunction with other methods
In many ways, the world of business is a lot like the ocean — a constant in our lives, always there but always changing. Even the most established businesses are not immune to the changing world around them and to survive, they have to adjust to changing trends and influences, both large and small; much like a surfer having to adapt to changing tides and conditions on any given session. This business/surfing comparison might not be evident to non-surfers, but for those who paddle out on a regular basis, the similarities are quite clear.
Kerry Tustin, founder and owner of advertising/marketing firm Hybrid Studios, will tell you that her life-long obsession with the sport has instilled in her a kind of sixth sense about the nature of change in the world of marketing today and how to stay on top of it, and even to get ahead of the “wave.”
“When you’re sitting out there waiting on a wave, you’re assessing everything — how the waves are breaking; where they’re breaking; if it’s better to go left or right; which ones in the set are good; and which ones not to bother with. You’re constantly monitoring conditions to see how to react, and that’s before you even try to catch the wave. Once you make that decision and start to paddle in, timing is everything. It’s a balance of motion and energy and finding that point at the crest of the wave at just the perfect moment. If you don’t hit it, you’re left waiting for the next one.”
When asked if she thinks Hybrid’s success is due to this inherent ability to see what’s coming and quickly adjust to any situation, she answers emphatically, “Absolutely.” Obviously, riding a wave and developing a marketing scheme aren’t the same thing at all, but being able to look at things from, let’s say, a quantum perspective on the water has helped Tustin assess how to best promote a business.
“When I’m surfing, I want to have the best outcome I can from the session, no matter what the weather, the tides, or the ocean have to throw at me. At Hybrid, I’m trying to do the same thing for our clients: look at all the things going on and come up with the solution that will serve them best. The world of advertising and marketing is always changing, on both the global scale and the local scale. Finding that perfect combination is vital to getting a company’s message out, just like finding that perfect moment to catch a wave. It doesn’t seem like there would be a connection, but I can absolutely say that all that time spent in the water for me makes me a better professional at what I do out of the water.”
Tustin first caught the surfing bug as a youngster in New Jersey. She started on a foam board just before third grade and begged her mom and dad for a real board. Finally, they finally struck a deal with her in sixth grade: if Tustin made straight As, they would buy her a real surfboard. The determined middle schooler buckled down, got the grades…and got her board.
“It was my prize possession,” she says. “I took the best care of that board. I kept it in my room and I just remember being so stoked when I looked at it.” The obsession was cemented and Tustin rode as much as she could yet still be a good student.
After graduating Cum Laude from Syracuse University, earning her M.A. in Advertising and Design, Tustin ended up in St. Augustine as creative director and graphic designer for Talented Friends, Inc., then KAT Design. She struck out on her own in 2002 and never looked back. Now one of the most highly-regarded firms in St. Augustine, Hybrid Studios continues its wave of success because of Tustin’s ability to read the world of advertising and marketing as well as she can read the waves on any given session.
Over the years, Tustin added snowboarding to her surfing obsession, but if pressed to choose one or the other, she says, “I’d have to choose surfing. It would be hard, but surfing is my life. When I’m out there on the ocean, I’m in a state of bliss. Really, it’s nirvana.”
Darren Drysdale will be the man in charge of tonight’s Checkatrade Trophy match against Everton U21s at Boundary Park (7:30pm).

We had frost Wednesday night. Luckily I was on the ball and covered up my favourite hosta. Unlike last year when it suffered greatly from frost damage.
This is what was under the sheet. Hosta sum & substance one of the largest leafed hostas. It's large leaves are very dramatic in the garden and add a nice contrast to the other plants in the garden.
This is the same garden 24 hours later and the hosta is suffering no ill effects. That's Codie dancing through the forget-me-nots.
I am so excited the plum tree is full of blossoms. This is the second summer I have had the tree. Last year I got one plum - it was delicious! Hopefully this year I will have more to share.
I hope I can find it in the dark. I also hope my neighbours don't see me... they already think I'm a bit crazy. I don't want them to think I'm gardening in the dark, although that is not a bad idea..... gotta go
Is it very hard to control ? I m using waran and playing penhold.but want more sink I played with zava but not very consistent 67th dealing with low spin ball
No, Keiler is easy to play with. If you're used to Waran, I'd say Keiler is actually easier. It's more disruptive, and not as fast, but with plenty of control.
What is the problem with a low-spin ball? With Waran (or Keiler) you should be able to hit straight through a no-spin ball, with devastating effect.
Everything is fine with zava but when they return slow no spin balls i missed a lot.how different would be playing with keiler penhold?
I can't imagine it would be terribly different. If you're missing slow no-spin balls, it's likely that you're not getting the timing right. Your rhythm is being disrupted by the change in pace. Make sure you watch the height/arc of the ball and hit it at the top of the bounce. You might need to move in or out to do this, but if you hit the ball at the top of the bounce, you won't miss.
I'd suggest setting up some drills to test this - either get a friend to alternate hitting normal topspin and then slower float balls, or set up a robot to do something similar. Watch and feel the difference in ball flight, and where you need to position yourself in order to hit the ball at the peak of the bounce.
Got the Keiler 1.8 yesterday & used it on bh. Coming from Xiom Omega V Tour i found that the adjustment needed was bearable... At the end of the 1 hour training, i was really digging it... Looking forward to more training & familiarisation with it...
give the Keiler some time! I play him for about 3 month now, and it get´s better and better. The attacking possibilities are superb and the disrupting enormous, esp. Block against Topspin.
And I would like the official confirmation that keiler plays like a short pip .how different plays from waran?any other pips with flatter flight than waran but not so tricky to handle.
Gipfelsturm has quite a bit less spin capability. It kills off spin and can play some of the long pip strokes, such as the long pip punchblock against back spin. But it has virtually no reversal when blocking top spins, and is about as useful when chopblocking as Keiler is. It's nothing like a 'true' long pip in that regard. Gipfel returns dead balls when receiving low to medium power top spins. The more spin on the ball, the more it actually reverses. However, it takes quite a spinny loop to produce these effects and at most levels in local clubs you're not likely to encounter them. So you can expect to mainly return dead balls or very light spin reversals. It is really good as a "point and shoot" kind of rubber. Meaning that the incoming spin is scrubbed off very effectively and you can return with blocks, not having much trouble dealing with the spins. It's very forgiving on that front. Practicing on my robot with top spin/speed settings, I could block the balls back without much effort or care. Whereas with a normal inverted or even short pip, slight deviations would result in big errors. Which is why I think gipfelsturm is more of a passive rubber in comparison to Keiler. If you smash/attack more than you block, I'd say stick with Keiler. If you like to directional block against top spin balls and attack back spins (long pip style), then gipfelsturm is your man!
Gipfel is much more difficult to attack top spins with, although I think it is easier to use when attacking back spins than Keiler is. In that sense it is more of a long pip. I'd say it functions as a medium pip in most instances, but when going against heavy spins or back spin, it becomes more LP like in nature.

I don't play cpen at all, but I wouldn't see why not. Kind of the He Zhi Wen style of block/hit? You might be lacking some spin for services, but other than that probably not too much. So long as you don't really loop, I think Keiler or Gipfelsturm would be fine.

I just received a sheet of 1.8 black Keiler and I'll be testing it this weekend as a potential (more dangerous) FH replacement for my current Super Spinpips SP. More to come..
Firstly, i had a different impression about Gipel than skilless_slapper. Unfortunately i have to agree with him, now.
After one month with this rubber i will give my update. This rubber is very disruptive for opponents, but all kinds of attack are very inconsistent. Because of spin reverse, when you hit aggressively, ball go over the table or hit in the net. Attacking is lottery. You have to drive ball with medium speed to fall on the table. Some pushes and chops are good. But if you want to win the point(make winners), this rubber is not for that. Definitely, Gipfel is not attack minded (short) pips. You must wait opponent to make a mistake or to wait a lose balls to attack but with other side of the racket. This is why i think that this rubber is far better for backhand. I used Gipfel 1.8 mm on forehand and anti on backand, and i cannot election with different balls which come to my forehand. Make me nervous and i feel that i walk on eggs. There are better rubbers for agressive attack and wining the points. In this sense, i will order Spinlord Waran 1.5.
Tried 1.8 black Keiler today and was disappointed. Compared to TSP Super Spinpips (on FH) it was almost impossible for me to lift the ball over the net with a FH drive. Balls were inconsistent making it hard to rally during practice. My opponent initially commented that it didn't have much power compared to my regular TSP Super Spinpips. That was on light and medium powered strokes. On harder FH strokes the Keiler wakes up and rockets, but the end result is a rubber that's non-linear. No like.
I wasn't blown away by keiler. I found it easy enough to use, but much preferred degu and waran, both of which are excellent. |

The accessory of many Greek phrases has lengthy been thought of arbitrary, yet Philomen Probert issues to a couple impressive correlations among accentuation and a word's synchronic morphological transparency, and among accentuation and observe frequency, that supply clues to the prehistory of the accessory process. Bringing jointly comparative facts for the Indo-European accentuation of the proper different types with fresh insights into the results that lack of transparency and note frequency have on language switch, Probert makes use of the synchronically observable correlations to bridge the distance among the accentuation styles reconstructable for Indo-European and people without delay attested for Greek from the Hellenistic interval onwards.

201,409,822 | About ten years ago, I had a brief period of nostalgia where I chose to revisit some of my favorite NES games from my childhood. I cound’t stand to play most of them for more than 20 minutes. Thinking about it now, I believe the reason for this was that I was a little too young for the NES and the SNES would ultimately serve as the definitive nostalgia console of my life. Anyway, the one game in the pile that actually compelled me to spend hours trying to finish it was Mega Man (now available on the Virtual Console). I was familiar with several of the sequals but didn’t remember much at all about the original. For some reason (the intense difficulty level being a large part of it), the original Mega Man stood out from its sequals: I was able to recognize it as less of game about defeating Dr. Wily and the Robot Masters and more as a series of tough rooms designed solely to test your skills as a video game badass. With each completed stage (featuring such elements as platforms that move, shoot at you and/or drop out periodically, sequentially appearing/disappearing blocks and the statue boss that moves from each side of the screen piece by piece for you to dodge (what an asshole)), a feeling of great accomplishment and pride was immediately felt.
Fast forward to my purchase of Contra 4 for the DS. At the time I was coming to terms with the fact that RPGs, formerly my favorite type, were not satisfying my needs in a game anymore. It took me a while to realize the genre was becoming more of the same 30+ hour, zero difficulty drift of rehashed plot points that, upon completion, just make you happy because it’s finally over (A very notable exception is Shiren the Wanderer, a personal fav of mine which has consumed well over 100 hours of my life). Contra 4 made me feel good about making progress in the face of seemingly impossible odds again. In fact, I never even finished the game on ‘normal’ difficulty. After I unlocked the challange mode, that’s all I would play. My thumbs went raw trying to do them all and when I did, I felt like I had actually done something worthwhile, which, I don’t have to tell you, is remarkable for a game to do. Something about the small scope of the individual chalenges made Contra 4 more enjoyable to me than when they were strung together in a lenghy (but slightly less difficult) sequence.
Last month, two games were released for the DS that take this series of tough rooms/challenge mode idea and boil it down to a formulaic level. Every level of N+ and Bangai-O Spirits is essentially a single room with a single goal and that’s it. Both games are so formulaic that each comes with its own level editor making every element in the game besides the basic engine available to you at once. This concept of endlessly varying, bite-sized challenges really hit home for me personally and I have enjoyed both games immensely. Bangai-O Spirits, in particular, has quickly become one of my favorite games of all time. What’s so frustrating is that these great games will probably fall into relative obscurity due to the fact that only a handful of people are buying them. A quick lurk over to the Gamefaqs forums shows a bunch of whiners complaining about the difficulty with the few diehard fans urging them to give the game a chance/stop being a pussy. I want to say thank you to these people right now, and urge them to keep making new levels for us play. Lastly, I want developers to know that fans of this genre are out there, whatever it is… Give me more.

Seven Quarters is back in Whelan’s for a third turn on Saturday September 13th with TWINKRANES and Halves on stage and vinyl Following the first Seven Quarters club night in April with Katie Kim and Jennifer Evans, and July’s edition with Patrick Kelleher and Magic Pockets, the third of four for 2014 on Saturday September 13th brings together experimental trio TWINKRANES and Halves, the latter in their last Irish show of the year.
Are an experimental Rock band from Dublin. The group was formed in Dublin in 2007. In 2008 the group came to the attention of Andy Votel (Finders Keepers Records) who expressed a keen interest in releasing the group’s music through the label. A touring single ‘Fizz Nor Feedback’ followed which was well received and would become the precursor to the critically acclaimed debut album Spektrum Theatre Snakes, which melded the worlds of motor-driven kraut, space rock, Avant pop, psychedelic and drone. Currently working as a trio, they are re-imagining TWINKRANES’ impenetrable electronic rhythms, experimental soundscapes and drones at their home in Black Pitts with a view to releasing new music in 2014.
One of Ireland’s most intriguing acts, Halves are Brian Cash, Elis Czerniak & Tim Czerniak. The trio blend a vast range of instruments, acoustic and electronic, to create an evocative, cinematic live experience. Their six releases to date have been met with critical acclaim (including a Choice Prize nomination), as well as earning them ardent fans from Tokyo to Seattle. Their live show is truly captivating; a mix of synched visuals, strings, brass, and electronics, anchored by soaring guitars and dual drummers. Their latest album Boa Howl is out now.
A limited number of advance tickets (€10 incl booking fee) are available – including a guaranteed copy of the 7″ – from WAV. Tickets will also be available on the door, but remember, only the first 150 get a record.
Hey I'm very confused, I thought I saw somewhere that someone said you can't register the KTM 525 SX on the street... But I keep seeing them for sale, with tags saying "street legal!" Can someone enlighten me? If it helps, I live in NY
It depends on the laws but you can do it in kentucky. Basically KTM went to the extra hassle/cost and gave it a road-type title. In Kentucky you can take your title for almost any KTM of those years into the DMV and walk out with a street registration. I ride with a bunch of guys who have licenses for thier 300's.
Most any newer KTMs you can register at DMV with just the title since it doesn't say "Off road use only" like the jap bikes.
I'm making some repairs to a damaged head. Are the exhaust studs on an XR80 head really a standard 6-32 thread? I am expecting a metric thread size.
Pretty sure if you tried to chase the threads with a 6-32 tap you would be surprised to find the diameter quite a bit smaller than the holes.
Thank you! Now I'm on the hunt for the drill size and a bottoming tap to accommodate said 6x32 stud!
ANNOUNCING…..new at Thurston House bed & breakfast – a Chickering circa 1858 rosewood Victorian Square Grand piano!!! It was a donation for the Maitland Historical Society, but they needed a place to house it until they have their new facility built. Since we already lease the building known as Thurston House from the City of Maitland, and we take wonderful care of that, they knew this was the right place for the piano. It is a beautiful piece of furniture, and fits right into the front parlour like it was made for it. Come see for yourself…book now! |
185,122,797 | The Parliament of Singapore has passed the Remote Gambling Bill that has previously been mentioned as a bill that it is so broad, that it could affect the F2P market in the country.
S. Iswaran, the Second Minister of Home Affairs, remarked that the bill would not affect video games so long as players are not able to convert in-game currency into money or merchandise. For many games, they will be safe for now, however, there are other games that still would not be allowed to operate in Singapore without a gambling license.
Games in Asia reports that Loco Soccer, an indie title from Taiwan, has a "Play for Cash" mode, where players are able to pay an entry fee for a chance to win a portion of the pot. On the same note, game portals such as King's Royalgames.com and GSN's worldwinner.com would also run into trouble, due to having similar entry fee and payout structures.
While officials may allay fears of game developers by stating that they would not be affected by this law, it is not exactly clear whether this sentiment would change in the future, nor is it very clear in the wording of the bill. If anything, it would most likely discourage game developers and publishers from setting up shop in the country, in fear of getting raided for being "reasonably suspected" of violating the law.
I guess that would be the idea, but that would probably discourage developers and publishers from even setting up shop or setting foot into the Singaporean market...
So for the games affected by this new law they can apply for a gambling license? Free to play games with gambling licenses would be interesting (a bit funny too but yeah let's not get to that)
ThinkGeek launched its Black Friday sale yesterday. It runs through the 30th of November. During this sale, customers can get 20% off of purchases totaling at least $40 without tax or shipping. All you have to do is use the code “BLACKMAGIC” at checkout to receive the discount. You can’t use this code with any other special offers, though, like free shipping or coupons. It also doesn’t apply to gift certificates.
I’m super psyched about this sale because I’m a little bit in love with almost everything on the ThinkGeek website. I mean, just look at their Star Wars section. There’s a lot of really cool stuff there. I really want the classic Star Wars movie posters. However, seeing as neither of my roommates have seen Star Wars (something I’m trying to change), I doubt they’d go over well in my dorm. But Star Wars was my first love, and I still really want these posters.
And, of course, ThinkGeek offers products in almost every major realm of Geekdom. Portal, Doctor Who, Firefly, Minecraft, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, Hunger Games, and more are all represented. You can pretty much find something for all your geek friends. I’m definitely going to be taking advantage of the ThinkGeek Black Friday sale.
It's not been an easy ride for Homefront: The Revolution. From THQ to Crytek, to Deep Silver's newly named Dambusters Studios, it's been four years in the making and evolved dramatically in the process. Now breaking away entirely from the linearity of its predecessor, Revolution puts you in the heart of an open-world 2029 Philadelphia. One which is strictly governed by the Greater Korean Republic after a successful invasion of the USA two years before.
My demo sees me dropped amidst the chaos of Philadelphia in what Dambusters is calling the Red Zone. Packed with militia, drones, and not a single place to pick up a cheesesteak sandwich, this is a hostile environment where guerilla fighters - somewhat surprisingly - aren't really made particularly welcome. Smoke billows into the sky from ruined skyscrapers in the distance and buildings are largely destroyed. The first order of the day is to stop a militia convoy in its tracks with a handily placed barrel trap on a nearby rooftop. With a pull of a lever when the enemy vehicle is in place, I send a slew of barrels that have a suitably Michael Bay effect before jumping down to pick off the remaining survivors.
Guerilla warfare is key in Homefront: The Revolution. In comparison to your team of rebels, the enemy is ludicrously overpowered and the odds really aren't in your favour. Gameplay changes accordingly. Action takes place in speedy bursts before you quickly retreat and evade enemy fire. Feel like you're surrounded? You probably are, so you should run. I take out a few smaller drones before scarpering and avoiding the watchful beam of a giant enemy drone overhead. While the GKR has technology on its side, we're handed something a little more basic: explosives. Revolution happily arms you with Molotov cocktails, firecrackers, and a whole host of craftable diversions. Spoiler, they all go boom.
While your weapons might be crude in comparison to the occupying army, Revolution is all about customization of what you've got. With a press of the up directional button you can fully customize the weapon you're holding. Want a hologram scope or a silencer? Each individual part can be fully customized, so if you've got the bits - which you can find from scavenging across the world and unlocking new areas - then you can craft your new ideal weapon. I arm myself with a crossbow, add a laser sight and spend a good five minutes picking off soldiers from a rooftop with ease, not to mention a nice satisfying crank and reload noise.
Scattered across the world are Network Transceivers that you can hack to reveal more activities in that area. Sound a bit Far Cry? Well, it is. After a Batman-style analogue-stick-wiggling hacking minigame, your map will pop up with all kinds of new activities to perform and ways to take the map for the rebels. It's now a tried-and-tested mechanic but fits well in the city environment, and there's plenty of variation on a theme of ‘you should probably kill these soldiers.'
You don't have to walk everywhere either. I'm instructed by a fellow rebel to take a motorbike from a crate and bouncily make my way across the map. It's a zippy way to travel and Dambusters has built the city specifically with it in mind. Fences have bike-shaped gaps to slide under and, now that you mention it, are those helpfully positioned ramps I see everywhere? I didn't find any other types of vehicles in the demo, but there are multiple bike types to unlock and it feels like a nifty way to hurtle across Philadelphia.
While it runs on the CryEngine, Revolution doesn't quite have the same popping visuals as Far Cry. This is a dull city. Grey clouds loom and the city is brown and dirty. However there are other zones to explore where people live under the rule of the GKR. Dambusters isn't saying much other than the fact that its Orwellian and there's propaganda everywhere, but these new areas sound interesting.
It all feels very Far Cry with more explosions and, hey, drones instead of honey badgers, but I enjoyed what I played. The weapon customization is immediately satisfying and it feels like there's plenty of potential here. It'll be interesting to see how this unfolds, but the move to an open world experience definitely seems like a smart move for the franchise. Vive le Revolution.
A sci-fi sequel worth the 35-year wait. Vincent van Gogh gets an animated tribute. Five medical students tinker with life after death. Wes Anderson’s crime-comedy feature debut. A Stanley Tucci-directed portrait of Alberto Giacometti.
For a film in which the premise rests entirely on a shaky foundation of ambiguity, there’s sadly little room for interpretation when it comes to Blade Runner 2049’s box-office performance. A worldwide gross of $259m (of which less than $100m was taken in the States) will rank as an underperformance against its $150m production budget. There’s a grimly satisfying symmetry, though, in this failing; it’s one of myriad ways in which 2049 lives up to its epochal predecessor.
Now seen as an all-time great, Ridley Scott’s 1982 film was critically and commercially undervalued on arrival, its stature growing with each tinkered version released. A decades-later sequel for any beloved property is potentially perilous (just ask Indiana Jones), but Blade Runner 2049 fulfils its duties pretty much perfectly; staying remarkably true to the spirit of the original, it pays homage without ever feeling restricted by its legacy.
This sequel adheres to the original’s formula while treading new ground. Embedded in the noirish detective story is the weighty question of what it means to be human. That blend is perhaps what makes director Denis Villeneuve the ideal fit, given his previous form with grizzled ’tecs (Prisoners) and bittersweet sci-fi (Arrival).
At the core of 2049 is Ryan Gosling’s K. Extreme release secrecy hid the fact that – minor spoiler alert – K is a ‘skin-job’ himself, a detail that’s revealed in the film’s opening moments. A replicant without a cause, he ‘retires’ his own kind seemingly without qualm. One such job leads him to a discovery that has huge repercussions for all replicant-kind, as a mystery gradually begins to unfurl at the pace of an artificial snail.
As in the original, the artificial lifeforms are more sympathetic than their real counterparts. The most captivating relationship in the film is between a replicant and a hologram, and 2049 arguably exceeds the original for emotional investment in these themes. Gosling’s tough, terse and ultimately tender turn anchors the film, elucidating K’s plight through an abundance of hemmed-in feeling.
Harrison Ford’s Deckard returns to the fold, and his human/replicant ambiguity is mined further, but he’s very much a supporting character here, even though his presence will add resonance for long-time fans. In minimal screentime, Ford turns in one of the most affecting performances of his career. If anything disappoints, it’s the antagonists. Jared Leto overdoes it as Tyrell replacement Niander Wallace, and his right-hand-woman Luv (Sylvia Hoeks) is charismatically ruthless, but inevitably lacks the depth of Rutger Hauer’s Roy Batty.
The better you know the first film, the more you’ll get out of the sequel, despite its standalone qualities and Deckard’s minimal impact on the plot. Coming in cold, you could still appreciate the jaw-dropping visuals conjured up by Villeneuve and cinematographer Roger Deakins.
In one featurette, Villeneuve describes the film’s look as “the same kind of colour palette but made by another painter”. It won’t prove to be as influential as the original’s game-changing cityscape, but it’s an incredibly realised fictional world, even more gloomily oppressive than it was 30 years earlier. From the smog-shrouded metropolis of LA, to a junkyard San Diego and a desolate, amber-hued Las Vegas, it’s an expansive, hostile world.
As Villeneuve and his cast explain, this is a future as extrapolated from the first film’s vision of 2019. Hence the analogue equipment, alternate-reality ads (Pan Am and Atari are projected in neon at various points) and a lack of touchscreen tech. As Gosling puts it, this is a world in which Steve Jobs never existed. The commitment to practical effects adds to the connection with the original – it very much feels like the same world.
And feeling at one with BR 2019 means that 2049 is like nothing else out there; it’s remarkable that so few concessions have been made to appease multiplex crowds. Big bangs, towering set-pieces and merchandising opportunities are nowhere to be seen. And the slow pace and substantial run time seem designed to put off anyone not capable of the investment required. It practically builds a wall around its own cult status.
Even on repeat viewings, the slowburn unfolding is anything but a problem. Not only can you luxuriate in the visual detail, but the film yields new treasure with each rewatch, with references, callbacks and cameos to chew over (only the unsubtle use of “more human than human” clunks). While its short-term audience has clearly been restricted, Blade Runner 2049 will age better than any production-line multiplex fodder.
The home-ent release is clearly geared to collectors, with various editions including a steelbook and a 4K UHD version with whisky glasses. The bonus content is solid, rather than exceptional. Featurettes offer the chance to gawp at some of the finer details a bit more closely, the best of the bunch being the 20-minute Designing The World Of Blade Runner, and the short ‘prologues’ fill in some backstory gaps, though they’re more intriguing than essential (and hardcore fans will have watched them already).
Perhaps the extras were always going to feel scant on a film that demands and rewards close analysis and rewatching. It will get plenty of that over the next 30 years.

Not unlike Kung Fu Panda, it lets Jackie Chan (as mentor to Dave Franco’s high-school ninja) be in an action-com without endangering his life. Also, there’s a beast with deadly moves whose tummy you’re itching to tickle…
Vincent van Gogh’s life and art have been splashed on screen before, but this is a unique entwining of the two: a film whose 65,000 frames were individually oil-painted by 125 artists, lovingly imitating the Dutch dauber’s style. It’s also a sly Citizen Kane homage, posthumously exploring van Gogh’s final days via a postman’s son’s (Douglas Booth) quest to deliver his last letter.
True, this fastidious tribute lacks dramatic depth, but when the surface is so extraordinary to behold – a living, swirling gallery – it’s hard to complain.
A so-so remake of a so-so ’90s thriller. Clearly, there just wasn’t enough life in the idea to begin with. Following the formula of the Kiefer Sutherland and Julia Roberts-starring original, it sees five medical students experimenting with the afterlife, only to face the paranormal consequences.
Director Niels Arden Oplev (2009’s original The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) takes a clinical approach to horror, but the result is as monotonous as the title suggests, with a lack of heart-stopping moments aside from the literal ones.

Wes Anderson’s feature debut gives fair notice of what was to come. The casting, for a start: the lead’s played by Owen Wilson, who also co-scripted with Anderson. The pair were fellow students at the University of Texas in Austin, and Wilson would go on to feature in several more of his pal’s movies, including The Royal Tenenbaums, The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou and The Darjeeling Limited.
Here, he’s Dignan, leader of a trio of inept would-be criminals – the others being Anthony (Owen’s brother Luke) and Bob (Robert Musgrave). Their farcically bumbling attempts at heists are intended to impress local crime boss Mr. Henry (James Caan).
Also indicative of Anderson-to-come is the quirky, overlapping dialogue, often bordering on the deranged; the freewheeling plot spiralling into mounting absurdity; the idiosyncratic shooting style (DP Robert Yeoman would go on to shoot almost all Anderson’s subsequent features); and the off-the-wall humour. Plus, like several Anderson movies since, Bottle Rocket garnered a mixed response: in this case the critics mostly loved it, audiences mostly didn’t.
Based on real events in 1964, Stanley Tucci’s fifth directorial effort, for which he also takes the writing credit, sees celebrated Swiss artist and sculptor Alberto Giacometti (Geoffrey Rush) invite American art critic James Lord (Armie Hammer) to sit for him.
The portrait, Giacometti’s last before his death, is supposed to take an afternoon, but two-and-a-half weeks pass in glowering silence, artistic despair and wittily cantankerous discussions about life and art. Compellingly acted and handsomely shot in blacks, ochres and greys to match Giacometti’s sepulchral creations.
Corporate cruelty, office pimping, Yuletide yearning – Billy Wilder’s romcom bites like few comedies, but there’s also beauty beside the bile. As love-wounded babes in the big-city woods, Jack Lemmon and Shirley MacLaine were never more touching. Wilder/Iz Diamond’s script serves them with sharp wit, while the jazzy score glows with feeling.
Deliciously tart and big-hearted, the disparate tones merge with miraculous tragi-comic balance: arguably, even Wilder never bettered it. Generous, scholarly extras.

Pinballing wildly between bad bachelorette comedy and misjudged cover-up caper, this Weekend at Bernie’s update feels like a killer comedown after a night of hard partying. Scarlett Johansson (the bride), Jillian Bell (manic bestie), Kate McKinnon (inexplicably Australian) plus buds Zoë Kravitz and Ilana Glazer live it up in Miami, but all struggle to squeeze laughs from a tonally confused script (a surprise, given it’s from Broad City director Lucia Aniello).
“They’re all going to laugh at you!” wails Piper Laurie, the religio-psycho mother of Sissy Spacek’s shy but telekinetic titular teen in this still-effective shocker. First-time viewers might do some tittering of their own at the soft focus and big hair of Brian De Palma’s potent Stephen King adap, but terror still reigns when Carrie unleashes hell on prom night.
A year after the mighty Get Carter, director Mike Hodges and star Michael Caine re-teamed to slightly lesser effect for this quirky Med-set thriller. Caine plays a sleazy-but-stylish dime novelist who’s ghostwriting the autobiography of a garrulous actor (Mickey Rooney) with a murky past.
Narrated in Chandler-esque fashion by Caine, it’s a laconic blend of casual violence and in-jokes that never quite hits the spot. Still, this Euro trip does conjure a modestly sexy vibe. Caine’s sadly awol from the disc’s new interviews.
Cheaper than a ticket to a shocker,” mutters one character as Bill Nighy’s Victorian copper examines the latest crime scene of the titular serial killer. He’s referring to the gruesome plays of the London music halls but it’s a typically meta line, winking at the audience while inviting us to enjoy this gory Grand Guignol.
Entertaining enough, but Juan Carlos Medina’s Jane Goldman-penned film is hampered by stilted plotting and a final twist as obvious as arterial claret. Extras are bare bones.
Japan, the 1860s. The feudal samurai system is in meltdown, especially for Ryanosuke (Yojimbo’s Tatsuya Nakadai), a psychotic ronin who kills sometimes for money but mostly for pleasure. Shooting in lustrous widescreen black and white, Kihachi Okamoto stages multiple combat scenes with intense precision.
The plot often turns obscure, but Nakadai’s wild-eyed turn compels our attention. Old sparring partner Toshirô Mifune shows up to represent the classic samurai tradition.
Despite being a weird mix of goofy comedy and psychological horror, this ’80s B-movie from director-producer team Steve Miner and Sean S. Cunningham (1980’s Friday the 13th) is more entertaining than it really has any right to be.
Already beset by divorce, his son’s disappearance and Vietnam flashbacks, a writer (William Katt) moves into a haunted house… where he faces farcical frights, a fat rubber demon and the dry wit of Cheers regular George Wendt as his helpful neighbour. A fun, chaotic shambles.
The big screen adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's 'other' book The Host hits cinemas this week, but how does it compare to the tween behemoth that is Twilight ?
The invasion of earth by a parasitic alien race is rudely interrupted when one human refuses to succumb to the 'Soul' possessing her.
Boy meets girl, boy falls in love, boy eventually impregnates girl with his vampire spawn forcing him to 'save her life' by turning her into one of his own during childbirth.
Boy and girl defeat the evil vampires determined to destroy their peaceful existence and live happily ever after.
General critical opinion of The Twilight Saga aside, it would seem churlish to ignore the box office success of the franchise.
Saoirse Ronan has the tough job of taking on a split personality for The Host - Melanie, the strong, volatile human host; and Wanda, the ironically more gentle alien that takes over her body.
But the important thing is that they do so whilst simultaneously looking hot and making us like both of them.
In portraying the perpetually conflicted Bella Swan, Kristen Stewart became the envy of tweens everywhere.
But, crucially, she also gave them hope. Hope that all average girls could bag themselves a beautiful boyfriend who sparkles in the sunlight.
Unfortunately, the character's only discernible personality traits are incredible self-control, a penchant for danger and the ability to whine incessantly.
They might have an unfair advantage, what with there being two of them, but whichever way you judge it both willful Melanie and kind-hearted Wanda kick Bella's ass when it comes to this competition, for their sense of self worth alone.
Max Irons (son of Jeremy, fact fans) plays Jared Howe, Melanie's lover before events (and aliens) conspired to replace his missus with somebody new.
Understandably, Jared's boyish charms have since been somewhat quashed by bitterness and anger issues. He's only human, after all.
Brooding, deadly and really, really intense, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson) fits the mold of every vampire ever.
Except, of course, that he feels bad about killing people and does his best to repress the bloodlust by munching on mountain lions and avoiding people - until he meets Bella, that is, and learns to crack a smile.
In fact, they're kind of the same person - except that Jared doesn't sparkle in the sunlight, and probably never heard of Debussy.
But when he finds himself feeling the warm and fuzzies towards Wanda it doesn't please Jared at all, for obvious reasons.
for him than most. Of course, his habit of transforming into a giant, hairy canine and whispering cheesy sweet nothings in Quileute might put some people off.
Whilst Ian admittedly has more facets to his personality, there's no denying the sheer loveability of Jacob Black.
Kyle O'Shea (Boyd Holbrook) might be Ian's brother, but the two don't always see eye-to-eye - especially when it comes to Wanda.
Stubborn, and with a fierce hatred for the beings who killed his one true love, Kyle's vendetta against the Souls has no limits - which means nothing good for our heroine.
Flame-haired Victoria's (Rachelle Lefevre / Bryce Dallas Howard) quest for vengeance after the Cullens killed her mate, James, was enacted on an epic scale in which she created a coven of newborn vampires to wipe out the family and destroy Bella in the process.
Malevolence simply drips from every pore of The Seeker (Diane Kruger) - heck, even her name is creepy.
Unlike other Souls, she is prone to human traits including irritability, anger, emotional outbursts, stubbornness - which obviously makes her evil.
While The Volturi are a collective of problematic vamps, it is undoubtedly the badly bewigged Michael Sheen's Aro who presents the biggest problem to Twilight 's heroes.
A power-hungry psychopath, he's a souless monster whose fear of losing his leadership of vampire society motivates his vendetta against the Cullens.
Sheen's wonderfully creepy performance aside, he is ultimately little more than a watered-down, hackneyed horror villain - albeit one whose habit of sticking out his tongue makes the skin crawl like no other.
Every resistance needs a leader, and in this case that duty falls to Melanie's uncle, Jeb Stryder (William Hurt), an eccentric old coot who spent years constructing an elaborate hideout in caves beneath the Arizona desert in case of alien invasion.
Crazy, but sensible. Significant others in Jeb's gang include Mel's brother Jamie (Chandler Canterbury) and requisite medicine man with a drinking problem, Doc (Scott Lawrence).
Between the Cullen clan, the Quileute wolf pack, Bella's high school classmates, her human family and her CGI baby, Twilight has a much bigger cast of characters - many more of whom we get to know properly.
Having come to know and love Twilight' s extended and extremely attractive contingent over the years, how could we not choose them? Shallow? Us? Never.
None. Nada. Not a thing. Being an advanced race the aliens have superior technology, of course, but there's not a mind reader or fire breather among them. Most disappointing.
From the usual supernatural prowess of vampires and werewolves to additional gifts including seeing the future, elemental manipulation and several different versions of mind control, Twilight is a veritable superpowerpalooza.
Aside from a bit of fisticuffs here and there, you’re much more likely to see quite a bit of crying and lots of angst-ridden dialogue.
If there’s one thing Twilight had in spades, it was crying and angst-ridden dialogue. But, it also gave good fight scene.
From the innovative filming techniques used to capture the vamps’ superhuman speed in Eclipse, to that controversial closing cop-out in Breaking Dawn Part II , Twilight delivered.
Being set in a dystopian future, one might have thought that Earth’s remaining humans would be humping left right and centre.
Concerns about the continuation of their own race aside, living in an underground cave must become unbelievably boring after a while.
Meyer’s story, though, is chaste. Longing looks, meaningful smiles, meeting of skin and a bit of enthusiastic snogging is as exciting as it gets.
Despite the questionable ‘sex is bad’ undertones in Twilight , these movies were all about sexual tension – regardless of the nonexistent chemistry between the leads.
Lots of heavy breathing, near-meeting of lips and torturous self-denial eventually gave way to passionate love making for Bella and Edward on their wedding night – with disastrous consequences that nearly killed the bride.
In the end, though, Breaking Dawn Part 2 gave us what we’d been waiting for… in tasteful soft focus, of course.
Let’s face it, having been made for an audience burgeoning on pubescence, neither of these movies were ever going to give us graphic or gratuitous rumpy pumpy. Therefore, it’s an even draw.
It might extol the virtues of tolerance, forgiveness and understanding, but The Host frequently and conveniently jumps the morality shark on several occasions in order to *spoiler warning* give the characters a happy ending.
Several of them, in fact, seem to get over their issues or be forgiven for their actions far too easily.
Where do we start? A ‘perfect’ hero who borders on possessive and controlling, a heroine who is in large part happy to be possessed and controlled, the aforementioned graphic and violent consequences of sex and – here’s the best bit – the whole thing where an adult male prone to unnecessary nudity ‘imprints’ on a child.
Ultimately, we’re talking about light entertainment, so far be it from us to take either of these fictional worlds too seriously.
But nevertheless, this is a serious competition dammit – so we’re refusing to reward either contender points for making us squirm and cringe. You read that right, people – nil points.
Erm… dunno, really. It doesn’t matter what you look like, it’s what’s inside that counts? The aliens are coming, pack up your things and head for the nearest bunker?
Sex is bad. Oh, we’ve covered that. Vampires make brilliant boyfriends? No? In that case it’s got to be that love conquers all.
Caves. Yeah. But these caves are in the Arizona desert. If promo footage is anything to go by, with cinematographer Roberto Schaefer in charge of making them look good, they’ll look darn pretty.
Forks, Washington doesn’t exactly sound like a magical place, but over five films various chaps gave that rainy corner of the States a charm of its own.
As Wanda is held captive while the humans decide what to do with her, a tense situation is made even more urgent by the claustrophobic atmosphere they provide.
If The Host were any other film, we’d liken it to a psychological thriller at this point. But it’s not, so we won’t.
On paper, The Host has all box office success boxes checked – it’s science fiction, the genre a la mode, with loads of soppy romance and already has a huge following as Meyer’s book sales can attest to. How could it not win?
The worldwide box office success of The Twilight Saga is just the tip of the sparkly iceberg. The series has its own conventions. Plural.
Fans have gone so far as to mark themselves forever with graphic representations of R-Patz and devoted fanfic has even spawned another, far worse franchise in 50 Shades Of Grey .
For fans of Meyer and braindead supernatural romance, this needn’t be a contest at all. And there’s even potential for The Host to sway Twi-haters – they are, after all, very different stories. But when it comes to this competition, the facts are clear – the original can’t be beaten. |
269,286,347 | The dark ride is the best part about this whole pavilion. I'm surprised how long it lasted without one. Be warned, you will have one particular song stuck in your head from the finally for the rest of the day. (As if the entire Future World Loop wasn't enough already.)
Finding Nemo will certainly go down in history as one of the best all-time cartoon films. Naturally I knew it wouldn’t be long until Disney utilized the popularity of the cartoon to base an attraction off it. Completely redoing the old Living Seas ride (I unfortunately never experienced it before it was removed though), it was transformed into a flashy new Nemo dark ride, but sadly it just wasn’t very good at all.
The Seas pavilion looked nice from the outside and I loved how it was air-conditioned on the inside (honestly that may have been the best feature of the entire attraction). Also, thanks to the utilization of constantly moving vehicles like the Haunted Mansion uses, this never has a line at all from what I saw, and it was the new attraction this year! One other comment about the attraction are the clam-mobiles. I honestly thought they looked nice, but once I boarded and the actual ride began, it just was a massive letdown in my opinion.
First and foremost, I really disliked how the ride utilized projections for the characters, as opposed to the much better animatronics. I know animatronics probably would have been more expensive and difficult to implement, but I think that they would have made this ride dramatically better. The projections just looked and felt weird in my opinion. Also, the ride’s plot was terrible and just very confusing, with the problem being that Disney was determined to include every single one of the movie’s characters, which caused just some unnecessary scenes being included in the attraction, and it just really hurt my overall ride experience. Despite my love of the movie, I honestly was just bored to death on this attraction. The best part by far during the actual ride was the section displaying the actual fish.
While I’m sure many others enjoy the new Nemo ride and theme far more than the original Living Seas, but I just really was extremely disappointed in Nemo. I was expecting a pretty fun ride with animatronics and a typical good Disney ride experience, but I didn’t get either of those. Worse than those, Nemo really seemed to lack that all-important Disney charm many of their dark rides are well-known for. Certainly Nemo is worth giving a chance while at EPCOT, especially if you’re a fan of the film, since it never has a wait, but I guess just go on with minimal expectations.
This was a great attraction. It had all the elements of a flawless performance. The film ".Seas". was entertaining and educational. The hydrolators were a bit silly but fun I guess. My favorite was the circle room with the aqua images floating across the floor and ceiling. Goodbye old friend it was fun during the 1980'.s and 1990'.s. Hello Nemo, you destroyer of this attraction.
I’m sorry I try to be positive about this Attraction but I heard so much about it and to tell you the truth I wasn’t impressed and I wish I was. I think Disney could do a better job at this I wish they would try to make some living reef aquariums. You known how amazing that could be Wow. Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas did an amazing job with there aquarium I loved that aquarium. I just wish Disney would redo this.
A four and no more. This is just bad. A long wait to see crush that is all it is. I couldnt wait the time to see crush. Just way to much to see at epcot. I would love to give it a higher rating but I cant.
I absolutely hate this place. First of all, it is the slowest line ever to go nowhere. We waited for at least 30 minutes to be put in the "elevator" that takes you nowhere but the to the other side. Once you are there the actual aqurium isnt all that great. It has one of the smallest Manatee enclosures ever which really disturbs me. Now that they have the Finding Nemo theme it is of course packed full of kids. Being a huge fan of zoos, I would prefer to see the animals rather then fighting crowds. They also got rid of the people mover so now it is even worse. I didnt however see the interactive Crush, so I am basing my opinion strickly on the aqurium. I also cant stand the fact that I have to wait to leave. Any good animal exhibit should let you come and go as you please, this exhibit stops you both directions. I absolutely hate it and will not return!
Very layed back classic. Still good cuz I love dolphins and manatees. (Atleast I think their there). I miss the little people mover ride that was in there.
A very good aqurium but with a poor design. This attraction takes a long time to get into even with short waits. It is also a bit hard to see some of the fish because of the closed floor of the observation deck. The manatee exibt however is very good. I could do without the Finding Nemo exibt.

So I've wanted a patent leather miniskirt since forever, but these are often ridiculously expensive. There are vinyl versions, but these always look cheap to me, and they are about as fun to wear as wearing a plastic bag over your ass. Leather feels wonderful and looks fantastic. And, personally, I find it easier to work with.
This is a closeup of the leather. It is ridiculously glossy, even for patent leather, and is as thin as suede. I've never seen anything like it--it almost moves like jersey. It was $50 a skin, which I found out at the register. I was planning to buy two to make sure I had enough, but when the bill came to $100, I ended up dropping one of the skins. $100 for a patent leather skirt is still not a bad price since they go for thousands, but I thought I could get away with one skin. Which I did...just barely. The fact that I was working with such a teeny tiny piece of leather will influence the rest of the DIY.
Tip: when you are buying skins, inspect the quality of the skin. No two are alike. Some have creases or holes or not as much usable space.
I made the pattern myself, based on an American Apparel skirt I already own, which was basically a rectangle with darts with a belt. I didn't have enough room in the leather to cut out the full rectangle, so I worked in the darts in the side seams.
I made pattern pieces out of tracing paper, following the original skirt. Since the skin was so small, I spent a bit of time moving the pattern pieces around. Finally I came up with this:
So you'll see there's actually 3 pattern pieces now, since I combined one with the front. So, the skirt will have two seams--in the back where the zipper is and on only one side. This isn't symmetrical, but I'd live with it. Better than spending another $50 on another skin for something literally no one would notice. Also, you'll notice that at the bottom hem of the skirt, the leather wasn't long enough. I could either shorten the length of the skirt in order to have a clean line, or leave the edge raw.
I used a white crayon to draw directly on the wrong side of the leather. In my shoe-making class, we used a white pen, but a crayon was all I had. I feel like it showed up better too. You never pin pattern pieces to leather.
You also don't use scissors to cut leather. You will never get clean lines with scissors. I've used this utility knife with great success for all of my leathermaking.
Pattern pieces all cut out. You'll see the obvious raw edge from where I didn't have enough leather, but I don't think it's too big of a deal. It's on the side.
Sew sew sew. I'm using a Singer Prelude, which is a standard home sewing machine. I'm using basically ("basically" because I'm using the gauge for shoemaking, since that's what I own, but I think the two are same or similar) upholstery thread which is a heavy duty nylon. Anything weaker will break. I'd suggest wider stitches for leather, since with a narrow stitch you'll poke so many holes in the leather it'll just break apart. I'm using the wrong foot for leather--you need a plastic one instead of metal or the leather will stick. I didn't have that problem since I only sewed on the suede side, and it slipped through ok...I did have to pull a teeny bit.
So you'll see I've got a pink thread above. Thought I could get away with using pink thread, but then I remembered I had to do the zipper, and you can't hide the thread. Anyway, I bought black upholstery thread. So, like I mentioned before, you need a plastic foot to sew leather otherwise the material will stick to the foot. I don't have one (not for a domestic machine anyway). That's ok. Just put tracing paper on top of the leather and sew over it. The tracing paper makes the material less sticky. I glued the zipper onto the leather first so it wouldn't slip around.
The tracing paper wasn't working for the "belt" of the skirt because the belt kept moving around (again, you can't pin anything in place because its leather), so I used crappy dollar store packing tape that normally can't hold anything together. It worked marvelously. It not only provided a nonstick surface, but held the pieces together. Definitely recommend this brown packing tape (obviously test it on a scrap piece. you don't want residue)
I feel this is perfect for work, especially paired with a classic button-up. The silhouette is very corporate.
lol excuse the hair junk hanging from behind the doorknob. You'll notice I successfully positioned myself in front of it in the other photos.
you CAN sew it on a domestic machine, but you need to use tape or paper when sewing on the sticky side
you cannot fuck up. the thread punches holes in the leather. if you take out the threads and redo, you'll be left with holes (best case) or the leather will just tear (worst)
"You cannot fuck up." - this is why I have never tried to sew leather or PVC. When sewing is involved, I WILL fuck it up! Awesome job on the skirt, I am droooling over that beautiful patent leather. |
223,588,902 | As the sitar and bansuri speak to each other and create their own poetry at the Rubin Museusm of Art in Chelsea (a popular neighbourhood tucked away to the far west end of New York City), the dark rain clouds looming overhead burst into a shower. You can’t help but wonder if this is what the power of Raag Miyan ki Malhar has brought about.
The feverish tempo, rise and fall of musical notes and the lightning bolt with the tihai (polyrhythmic technique technique of Indian classical music) rushes through your veins, making you feel lighter amid the heaviness of the crowds, machinery in the city. The music itself is the result of a grassroots movement, now a full-fledged non-profit music collective known as the Brooklyn Raga Massive.
Having brought about a revitalisation of the ragas, it would be safe to call them the Raga Ambassadors of the Big Apple. Founded by an eclectic bunch of American and Indian musicians, BRM aims to promote the love for Indian classical music through various collaborations. They too found each other through mutual friends having an interest in different kinds of music and started jamming together. From a performance at The Branded Saloon in Brooklyn to collaborating with studios and museums, BRM has come a long way.
“Brooklyn remains at the heart of all this because that’s where it started. Through our mutual love for Indian classical music and the aim to reach out to the audiences, we got together to figure out different ways (to do so),” says Jay Gandhi, a prolific flautist himself, having trained under the legendary Pandit Hari Prasad Chaurasia. There was no plan in place neither was there any structure to it. “It just grew from one thing to another and we would play music with all our passion. Of course, along the way we started understanding our audiences and figuring different aspects of our music out, that excited them,” says Gandhi.
The coffee house we are at to talk about BRM in Brooklyn is now home to these musicians. Thanks to them, I got freshly brewed coffee on the house on a sunny afternoon in the hipster neighbourhood.
Understanding BRM is not only about understanding the musicians and their movement, but also the place they come from in New York, their lifestyles and their audience too. Traditionally, Indian classical concerts have been restricted to sabhagrihas (auditoriums) with baithak (low seating on cushions) style seating and the audience intently listening to the musician. With playing at different bars, studios and even converted music spaces, does that change the dynamics?
“I think many of the original members of the collective had a strong inclination to broaden the kinds of places and contexts Indian Classical Music is performed in. Arun (Ramamurthy) had already been presenting Carnatic musicians in Manhattan at a non-traditional venue (Cornelia St Cafe). Sameer (Gupta) had the idea to do something similar in Brooklyn, this time emulating the traditional jam session format which is so much a vital part of American jazz. Having just moved to Brooklyn and coming out of musical background of both Jazz and Hindustani classical music myself, I was ecstatic to jump on board. And so it all manifested in our first ever BRM gathering in the back room of a local Brooklyn bar called the Branded Saloon. The context was new and different, but I think we were all overjoyed at the sense of community that we felt at being able to congregate every week and play for each other and music lovers. And then it always felt encouraging when a curious passer-bye who had never heard this music before would happen upon us and connect in a deep way,” says Jay with a smile.
Also, did they ever have to educate the audiences about music before starting off or explain any particular intricacies of the notes? He takes a long pause before answering, “You don't really need to be educated to listen to good music, you just have to feel it. That said, I think audiences and musicians are excited about what feels like a fresh outpouring of art and creativity in the city. Newcomers connect with that energy first and are slowly getting more educated about the genres with time,” explains Gandhi. Raga Kids is another initiative that is geared towards including children and spreading the love of music among them.
Over the years, BRM has collaborated and dabbled with different genres of music including jazz, avant garde jazz, African, Cuban and many more. Especially jazz since it is believed that Indian classical music patterns come closest to those of jazz. “We are rooted in the genuine intention and desire to bring forth the community spirit and love for classical music,” says Jay elaborating on the other logistical and operational tasks of BRM. “Being in sync with people around you is key in taking this forward.” Of course, managing all this hasn’t been that simple as it would have seemed earlier. The collaborations, studio rents and other offerings come at a price. As musicians, they have been volunteering and also organising fund-raising events in order to keep the collective going. As a non-profit they are also in the process of applying for grants and fellowships for the musicians.
As Jay continues to take me through the journey of BRM, his friend and another member of BRM, Ehren Hanson also joins us after his mid-afternoon Sunday rehearsal. Not surprisingly, most of the BRM members too live in the same neighbourhood, and some in the same building! “We love to annoy each other all the time with our music!” says Ehren, laughing. An American raised in New Jersey, he’s well-versed with Indian music and can speak fluent Bengali! “It’s a part of the process. We keep exchanging and learning from each other. The whole chemistry of this keeps us all going. We are constantly enriching ourselves and sharing as much as we can. And while might sound like we are all best buddies, we do have our own creative differences which we love sorting out and creating something more magical after those discussions,” says Ehren.
Ehren and Jay fondly recall their trip to Senegal in West Africa for a collaboration with Noura Mint Seymali, a popular Mortanian singer from North Africa. “That was a magical trip and collaboration. We just spoke through music,” says Ehren.
Apart from Jay and Ehren, BRM counts Arun Ramamurthy, Neel Murgai, Sameer Gupta, Samarth Nagarkar, Camilla Celine, Trina Basu and Abhik Mukherjee among its members. Abhik (one of the founding members of BRM) was born and raised in India and moved to New York six years ago. "We've all come to realise that music is dynamic and it needs to bend and travel downstream. The collaborations open doors to creating some wonderful magical moments for our audiences," Abhik tells me. Having trained and performed in his home city of Kolkata (before coming to NYC), how has the shift been in terms of the audience and spaces? "The audiences have been wonderful everywhere. It's just about how they perceive it. Back in India, you could say audiences look for the grammar in classical music versus people here looking for poetry in it," he says.
As the coffee house is almost about to close, Jay recommends walking till Prospect Park (popularly known as the Central Park of Brooklyn). We speak about what really binds BRM together. Personally, I can’t wait to get to their weekend concert at a farm in upstate New York where they will be playing music all night long with several other musicians from different genres, with bonfires and fireflies in the lap of nature.
“The fundamentals of rhythm essentially remain the same...the way we feel a beat and thereafter you embellish it and keep improvising on it," says Ehren, when we're about to part. "It just comes down to the bare components and that’s what essentially ties the universe around it.”
While it's a bit odd to be talking about a re-release nine months away days before the movie is even released in theaters to begin with, I don't mind, because this is exactly what I wanted to hear. Joe Carnahan's The Grey arrives in theaters this weekend, and it's easily one of the best films of the first half of this year, I've seen it twice and it's fantastic. More importantly, not only does the script deserve plenty of acclaim, but so does Liam Neeson, who gives an phenomenal performance. It's being theoretically "dumped" in January, even though I think it could be a huge breakout hit, but Carnahan says they might re-release it in October.
One of the many sites that interviewed Carnahan recently was The Playlist, and the last question they asked was regarding the January release date. "If we'd been able to launch in Toronto, which was our initial plan, but we wound up six weeks behind because of effects," Carnahan explains. So since they missed the Toronto Film Festival last year, it's being released this month anyway, but will it get lost in the mix and be forgotten about by the end of the year when the 2013 Oscar race starts up again? Potentially (hopefully not), but that's when Carnahan says they're already planning an October re-release for an Oscar qualifying run. He says:
"Let's ignore the fact that everybody says January's a dumping ground. They make too many movies these days for any one month to be a dumping ground. Obviously Taken was a January release for Liam that did quite well. Honestly, it's nice to even be mentioned, the idea that people even think it's awards-worthy. That's flattering. Open Road has said flat out and sort of scrawled it in blood that they're going to release the film in October 2012 for a qualifying run, which is great.”
That is great, indeed. Even better because I do think Neeson deserves awards acclaim, and I hope he gets plenty even another 10 to 12 months from now. That's the problem with releasing in January, even if it is a great film, everyone will have moved on and forgotten about it by the time we hit the summer. Which is also exactly why I was hoping they'd do something like this, and it's great to know it's coming without having to wait until September to hear about it. I just hope Open Road Films holds true this, no matter how well (or how poorly) it fares at the box office this weekend, because it's an outstanding movie and one that deserves to get awards later this year. Be sure to go see The Grey in theaters first this opening weekend - it's worth it!
I like that screenshot. You know the one from the trailer, where hes attacking the Alpha wolf. Too bad I saw it at a prescreening last night and that scene ISNT EVEN IN THE MOVIE.
Omg boycotthollywood! That scene isn't in the movie!?! Ugh it looks like the best part! I'm gonna see it thursday midnight showing so I hope it rocks. Love all the movies that Carnahan has made so far. Did you like the film?
The film is quite good. B+. Couldve been an A- if they actually included the final showdown between Hero and Villain that was built up so nicely during the film. I have seen this decision made before, like in 'No Country For Old Men'. Exact same problem. They build up this great suspense and pressure between our Hero and Villain, then here comes the big showdown, and we get NOTHING. Nevermind the outcome, I don't care whether evil or good prevails. I want to see HOW it went down. Even if it is implied well, I don't agree with this 'technique' of omitting the climax as good filmmaking. In fact I see it as a complete lack of creative execution. Could they not think of something cool enough to show? Obviously the scene was shot, did it turn out that bad? Do we have to wait for a directors cut? Too many filmmakers nowadays are using this technique of 'omitting the climax' and I wholeheartedly disagree with it. Even if your film is well made, the story is well developed, and the outcome is implied, the audience still deserves to see how it went down! Thats why we came to see the movie in the first place!! Am I completely alone on this?
Well, with NCFOM, you just misunderstood what the movie was about. It was never about Anton or Moss or the chase or who won or lost. The movie was about Bell the entire time. It wasn't building to a showdown. It was building to Bell, retired, recounting a dream he had about his father. He realizes that evil will always exist, no matter how much of your life you dedicate to stopping it. The fact that the movie opens with Bell ruminating on this topic over imagery of desolate landscape - making the final scene a perfect bookend - should make it pretty clear that this is what the movie's really about. So they weren't omitting the climax at all; you were just looking in the wrong place.
The exception to this rule is sequels. Obviously we know Frodo isnt going to reach Mordor in the first film. But unless theres gonna be a sequel, why not just show us the best part of the film that all of us saw in the trailer and came to see anyway?
It's a movie. Fiction. You may as well petition to ban Little Red Riding Hood and Jaws too. Nobody wants to commit animal cruelty after watching this movie. I love animals, and I don't have a problem with this movie at all. The wolves that were killed for the movie were already dead after being killed by a trapper for preying on cattle. So if you have a problem with that, then go petition to make trapping illegal, because that's where the problem lies. Making a big deal about boycotting this movie is just a waste of time.
So bitch, if you get stranded in that area and wolves are hunting you down, are you just going to let them eat you? Or are you going to stand up and kill the wolf?

I am an electric/acoustic guitarist with 16 years of experience. I have performed in various music settings and have been fortunate to perform across the UK and Europe including, Belgium, Germany and France. My main interests as a guitarist and musician include improvisation, song writing and transcribing music.
As well as having a passion for playing music, I also have a passion for teaching. I take great joy in seeing inexperienced students learn their first song and helping seasoned players reach the next level in their playing
I have taught at a number of colleges including Alton, Brighton and Fareham colleges, where I delivered music performance workshops. I also have extensive private and group teaching experience, ranging from ages 8 to 60!
I currently teach at Longsands College and for Northampton county council, working at various schools in the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire district. As well as working in colleges and schools, I teach privately to over 20 students

I currently teach at Longsands College and for Northampton county council where I have written and teach the guitar syllabus and work at various schools in the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire district. As well as teaching privately
My approach to teaching guitar is different from other teachers. i deliver a program that enables the absolute novice to play a song within the first 20 minutes of their first lesson and more experienced players to smash through those annoying plateaus. Every student receives sheet music, lesson plans, custom tracks and backing tracks designed to help them improve and execute techniques learnt in each lesson, as well as learning songs that put these techniques into practice.
MichaelFrom Andrew (5/5): For me, if I can't immediately relate to a guitar teacher, the subsequent lessons can be a laborious. Mike is one of the most personable guys I've met. He didn't arrive with a preset agenda and the first assessment lesson proved very valuable in terms of our start point. Mike really listens and gives you a good variety of content in his lessons, based around what you would like to learn mixed with some fun with what you can play. It's all at your own pace, so those of us with busy working lives can take it as slow or as quickly as time permits, which is great. Mike is very talented and adaptable and will go through things as many times as needed, plus will work out any music you want and provide you with notation and video clips as well as more standardized lesson materials. I am enjoying my lessons, which I hadn't really done previously and my playing is starting to show some benefits. I really hope I can progress more, but I am confident Mike will be able to help me with that. I can absolutely recommend Mike and certainly for my (intermediate needs {with big gaps in theory etc}). I'm sure you will feel the same after being introduced. Cheers Andrew
MichaelFrom Nick (5/5): I am so delighted to have found Michael - he's brilliant. Not only a very talented guitarist but his teaching is brilliant too. It's fun and exciting, giving you the confidence to get to the next level. The sheet music and videos he provides all add to the experience. Highly recommended!
MichaelFrom Laura (5/5): I'm currently really enjoying my lessons with Mike. He makes it really easy to learn and go at your own pace. Our lessons are always fun and I think it's important to listen as well as play during lessons so I always enjoy hearing Mike play. It's very inspiring and keeps me motivated to keep playing. I am often busy throughout the week and sometimes don't get time to practice as much as I like but Mike is very easy going which really fits my learning so I don't feel forced to pick it up, now I've learnt just to pick it up naturally! Definitely would recommend Mike, he's cool!
MichaelFrom Wayne (5/5): As a primary school teacher, I feel well-qualified to know what qualities a good teacher should possess and Michael fits the bill admirably. He is patient, supportive and innovative, as well as being knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
I would recommend him, without hesitation, as being an ideal guitar tutor for any age group from 6 to 106.
MichaelFrom Kenneth (5/5): i am starting to learn the guitar from scratch, and michael put me at ease straight away.

The smartphones market is in continuous development, as more and more models and versions are released every year from major brands, such as Apple, Samsung or Nokia. The newer the models, the more expensive the phone, but people still hurry to make the investment. However, most of them buy the smartphones under carrier subscriptions, which means the device comes locked to that particular carrier. But that’s no problem for most consumers, as there are plenty of online providers that offer unlocking services. To that extent, whether you want to unlock Nokia phone, iPhone or any other type of smartphone, all you have to do is browse the web for a service. There are people who claim that unlocking your phone is not smart, that it can damage the device, but the truth is those claims are ungrounded. As long as you find a reliable and experienced service, there is nothing to worry about.
The unlocking service basically provides you with a code that you simply enter when the phone asks for it, detecting a SIM card that is not from the carrier that the phone is locked to. The providers get this code from the manufacturer’s database of unlock codes, so there is no way that your device can get damaged. Nonetheless, whether you need an unlock Nokia phone service or an iPhone unlock service, it’s important to hire a provider that collaborates with these manufacturers, so that the code is valid. Provided you do that, there is basically no risk for your phone. And the benefits are plenty. If you ever change your mind about the carrier you are using and you want to switch to another that maybe offers a better or a more affordable plan, you can do so easily, since your phone accepts any SIM. If you ever want to sell your phone, you can ask for more money and gain access to a larger market of potential customers, as you can sell the phone to whomever, regardless of the carrier he or she uses.
The bottom line is that unlocking smartphones is not risky, but it’s actually wise. The only thing that users should be careful about is who they choose to unlock Nokia phone or Samsung phones or whatever smartphones they have. But this is true for virtually every service or even product that you get from the Internet. You always have to research the market thoroughly and check the reliability and professionalism of all platforms, by searching for testimonials and feedback. On the other hand, as so many people have smartphones now, you can also ask around for suggestions and recommendations in order to find a suitable service, as chances are someone you know has already used this type of service to unlock his or her phone.

Although the 2016 presidential election is still a long way off, prospective candidates are already testing the waters for possible presidential bids—primarily candidates considering running in the currently wide-open Republican race. Thus when Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), one of the most visible potential contenders in 2016, said that he had never proposed to cut foreign aid to Israel, many in the pro-Israel community took notice.
"I've never said oh my goodness! Let's target aid to Israel…I said you know what, to get to an ultimate goal maybe we should start by eliminating aid to countries that hate us, countries that burn our flag. I've been very up front to acknowledge that Israel isn't one of the countries. Israel is our friend. I have never had a bill that had Israel's name in it to eliminate aid to Israel," Paul told an audience at the Campbellsville Chamber of Commerce in Kentucky Monday, reported the local news channel WBKO.
Paul also defended his previous record on funding to Israel to Yahoo News political reporter Chris Moody on Aug. 4.
“We’ve never had a legislative proposal to do that…Israel has always been a strong ally of ours and I appreciate that. I voted just this week to give money — more money — to the Iron Dome, so don’t mischaracterize my position on Israel,” he added.
Shortly after Paul’s comment to Moody, his office doubled down on the statement, saying: “Sen. Rand Paul has never proposed any legislation that targeted Israel's aid and just last week voted to continue and increase funding to the State of Israel. Sen. Paul is a strong supporter of the Jewish state of Israel.”
“I think he has, in his own words, a new appreciation of the true security needs of Israel and I don’t think there’s any issue about him voting against any specific military aid to Israel,” said Texas businessman and Republican activist Fred Zeidman, who has met with Paul to discuss his stance on Israel, among other important campaign issues.
But critics such as Moody have pointed out that Paul’s proposal in his first year as senator in 2011 to balance the U.S. federal budget did call for a cut to foreign aid entirely. Though the proposal did not specifically “target” Israel, it did not also exclude the country from this cut to aid.
The other claim by Paul and his staff that he had voted in favor of emergency funding of $225 million for Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system does ignore the fact that senators often pass legislation without resorting to the time-consuming roll call vote. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev) had asked if there are any objections to passing the bill, and Paul merely did not object.
Democrats have quickly seized on Paul’s recent flip-flop on the issue, particularly since he had defended his earlier position when being interviewed on national television.
“I have a lot of sympathy and respect for Israel as a democratic nation, as a fountain of peace and a fountain of democracy within the Middle East,” Paul told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer in a Jan. 2011 interview. “But at the same time, I don't think funding both sides of the arms race, particularly when we have to borrow the money from China to send it to someone else. We just can't do it anymore. The debt is all-consuming and it threatens our well-being as a country."
Paul made a similar argument to ABC’s Jonathan Karl, though qualifying his statement by noting that he was not singling out Israel. “I support Israel. I want to be known as a friend of Israel, but not with money you don’t have," he said.
But Paul’s camp is continuing to stand by his new rhetoric by pointing out that Paul’s more recent budget proposals do include Israel funding. The newest statement from Paul’s office said that “in 2011, Sen. Paul proposed a budget resolution that did not include certain foreign assistance programs in an effort to balance the budget in five years” but that “subsequent budget proposals made by Sen. Paul have included up to $5 billion for foreign assistance to account for U.S.-Israel security interests.”
Recently the National Journal reported that Paul has also been courting prominent Jewish conservatives in an effort to distance himself from the rhetoric of his father, former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX), who had railed against U.S. involvement in the Middle East and against the Israeli lobby.
Israel “wasn’t an issue that he had focused on before,” Zeidman said. However, the younger Paul did visit Israel in January 2013.
“I [don’t] think now that he has spent a lot more time trying to understand that issue, we’ll have a problem with regard to Israel,” Zeidman said.
By A. MOLNIKOFF y WATCHED her across the chess-board. She was deeply I engrossed in the game. She supported her sallow face with both hands as she gazed steadily upon the chess-men. Outside enemy aircraft zoomed and circled in the moonless, inky night, end the guns roared and spat fire at them. Now and then the air vibrated with the fall and thud of bombs in the far-away distance and the lighter statuary in my studio trembled, shook and rattled. I picked up a paper spill and moved closer to the fire. I lit my pipe and looked at my friend, but she was still wrapped up in the game. I smoked and waited quietly for some time. Then I turned to her and asked: "Well! Whose move is it now?" For I wanted to urge her on to play.
It seemed as though Hell were let loose on earth. The light went out. Walls trembled and fell. Bronze, wood, terra-cotta and plaster statuary moved above the place like living things. They jumped and dashed from one end of .the studio to the other as though possessed by a devil. The glass roof. came down with a shriek and was shattered into bits. The big black-out curtain billowed out into the studio and looked like an enormous bat hovering over everything. And above all these things the frenzied shriek of my friend . . . And then there was dead quiet and a deep darkness that was broken now and then by the pale struggling flame that still burned in the grate. The air was thick with bitter, dry dust. I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder while I stood knee-deep in debris: bricks, plaster, tools, books, and all the other things that make up a sculptor's studio.
All that happened in the space of seconds . . . I groped around and found my friend huddled deep in the huge chair. I pulled her out with difficulty. From outside came the ring of the fire-engine and a multitude of voices. Somebody shouted through the smashed window and enquired: ", Everybody all right here?" And then my friend and I were helped out I was puzzled—for the moment she came out she was herself again. She had not suffered as much as a scratch, and when I asked her why she shrieked so terribly she shook her head and denied it.
She was furious. I never saw her so angry as she was then. She stamped her foot and insisted that it was I who had shrieked.
Next day, although I was still in pain and using a stick to support my smashed foot, I was none the worse for my experience, and together we went to inspect the rooms of my dwelling. We stood at the open door for a long time and scrutinised what was but yesterday a quiet and peaceful place devoted to dreams, work and rest, and what was now a ruin, as well as the statuary that dwelt in it—big and small—where each had a place and equally shared the light and shade of the room. Most of it lay now scattered, broken and mixed up in unbelievable, grotesque heaps. A large study of Paul lay with both hands outstretched across a delicate marble female torso. A huge statue of an unemployed, its head twisted round, had fallen flat on the floor. A small bronze head of a child crashed right through a colossal figure of Maccabeus. There it was, as though modelled on purpose into the very centre of the torso. It peeped out and its little face grinned.
We were both looking at the same thing, for we turned our faces to each other, but we did not speak. We stepped lr'0 the studio and began to sort out a few personal belongings. IP. the corner where there stood a small cabinet with papers, jlawings and other things, the cabinet was empty and the papers blown all over the room. But in front of the fire- grate, still standing in its place, was the little table, and on it the chess-board with some of the chess-men still standing on the squares. We stopped and looked at each other and then we laughed.
Except for some of the bronzes and other things made of solid material, everything was smashed. A deep loneliness sank into my whole being. All these things were part of me —fruits of fancy, brawn and muscle—the work .of years now thrown into void, a thousand dreams obliterated with one cruel stroke. A whole past sank thus into a deep chasm never to be redeemed.
For days I could not come near the place—this my private "Wailing Wall "—until one morning I was forced by circum- stances to go there again. It was a bright sunny morning. The street was crowded with men and machinery and the noise of the pneumatic drill filled the air. It bit with fury into the hard concrete of the road. I stopped and watched the men. They worked, talked, drank tea and joked. One of them, a huge fellow, was swinging a sledge hammer, and as I watched him my hands itched. I was filled with desire for work and action.
I found my way to my ruined workroom and started to sort out my tools which were strewn about the floor. Some- how—I did not know why—looking round on the ruins of my past work I was not sorry for what had happened, and I did not know why. I felt as though I was liberated of the heavy weight of the past. I felt free now and full of hope for the future. All sorts of things came into my mind, plans and visions of future work. My whole being seemed to pass into a new land and new life. In a far corner of the room stood a large clay-bin. I picked my way across the statuary-littered floor, over heads, hands, legs and broken figures, and came towards it. I lifted the lid off the bin and looked into it and then I dug into it and picked up a handful. I pressed it into my hand ; the soft, moist, cool clay came in leaves between my fingers and my whole being was thrilled. Then I looked around my room and thought: There is more hope in that bin full of clay than in all the statuary in the world. Yes, I thought, it is my move now.
If the Provost of Worcester, who writes to know "whether a thing so beautiful and so conspicuous has ever been noticed by any writer about the English countryside" can turn up issues of The Spectator for February szth and February 26th, 1937, he will find there the results of an interesting correspondence on Peziza Coccinea, the enchanting miniature scarlet fungus now more properly called a Geopyxis. That correspondence reached me from many parts of England and revealed that this tiny winter fungus has received the tribute of not only one English name, but very many. Mr. Lys may therefore take his choice of Jew's Ear, Scarlet Elf Cup, Soldiers' Caps, Moss Cups and Jerusalem Stars. In some districts it is common enough to be gathered and sold, in a setting of moss, as a table decoration. There is also a variety lacier; pure white or cream, which is, however, very rare.

295,812,338 | Divorce is one of those intensely personal life events that must be mentioned because of the drastic changes it triggers, but going into the details of the situation is typically limited to immediate family and close friends. For those that pursue the traditional court process to obtain a divorce, one element of the legal system in this country can prove to be unnerving and unpleasant. Court proceedings, including the documents filed in the case, are matters of public record, which grants anyone the right to access this information, including total strangers. The issues that must be resolved in divorce require revealing highly sensitive information about a couple’s finances, property, and family dynamics, if children are involved, and knowing that anyone can see these details by filing a simple request is apt to leave many spouses feeling exposed and uncomfortable. The likelihood of someone actively seeking out divorce records is low for most couples, but the possibility does exist, and should be a consideration if privacy is of large importance or concern. Minnesota U.S. Representative Keith Ellison is fighting efforts by two news organizations to see his divorce records from 2016, because they believe there is information related to his abuse of a former girlfriend. Divorce records can include all kinds of potentially embarrassing and private information, but there are a few ways to limit the ability of the public to see this information, and a discussion of the two principal options will follow below.
One method of keeping information out of the public eye and record is to resolve the issues of divorce through a private settlement. This may be accomplished through direct negotiation or an alternative dispute process, such as mediation. While the final terms of the agreement must be received and approved by the court, the details of how the parties compromised and the specific considerations that lead to the final agreement need not be revealed. Further, the couple has control and flexibility over the formulation of the terms of the contract, which should reduce the likelihood of future litigation, which would place this private information into the public record.
Alternatively, if a private settlement did not occur, either spouse can file a motion with a court that requests the divorce records be sealed. Sealing records is up to the discretion of the court, but the more specific an argument is about the harm holding these records public would pose, the more likely a court will approve the request. Importantly, a person does not have a be a public figure or celebrity to qualify for this protection, though it is routinely requested by those in the spotlight. Some additional reasons a person may want to keep these records private include:
The law is strongly in favor of keeping court records public, so a compelling reason to go against this tenet will need to be demonstrated. Some factors courts will look to when assessing the need to seal records are:
The chances of gaining approval are increased if the request is limited to a specific part of the record, and examples of information courts are generally open to sealing include:

Making the decision to get married should be one of the most exciting times in a person’s life, but this happiness is only possible if getting married is chosen and voluntary. If the contrary is true, and a person wants out of the relationship, divorce is the process most people first consider, but there is another option for legally severing ties, annulment, which may be more appropriate in certain situations. In today’s world, marriage is typically associated with two adults that have a standing relationship filled with mutual trust and respect. However, this is not the situation for young girls, who would normally be underage, married to older men based solely on being pregnant. Florida law eliminates an age limit for couples seeking to marry if they are expecting a child, and while the law was likely intended to promote marriage over having a child out-of-wedlock, it also allows girls as young as 11 and 12 to be forced to marry if pregnant at the time a license is sought. State legislators are currently considering bills that would close this loophole by placing an age limit that both individuals must satisfy before a marriage license would be issued, and eliminate the exception for pregnancy. Being underage is one basis for seeking an annulment, and a discussion on how annulment compares with divorce, as well as when a court would be willing to grant one, will follow below.
The law treats a marriage that was annulled as if it never happened, and essentially purports to put the parties in the same place they were before the marriage took place. This means courts will be more reluctant to get into complex analyses over property division and related issues, though they will address these matters to the extent necessary. Because annulments usually need to be requested early in a marriage to have any hope of being granted, the financial and child entanglements that complicate most divorces are less likely to be present, but if practicalities call for court intervention, decisions will be made for the sake of fairness and a child’s best interests. Divorce, on the other hand, recognizes the existence of a legal marriage, and specifically allows for provisions related to property division, child custody, support and alimony.
The law surrounding annulments is based on past court decisions, making it much more complicated to obtain compared to divorce, but it should not be immediately dismissed if there is a desire to have the marriage voided, such as to prevent an ex-spouse access to certain benefits. Courts generally look for evidence the marriage was fraudulent, a sham or in some way false from the beginning. Specific grounds courts have accepted as sufficient to support issuing an annulment include:
a sham or fraudulent marriage, such as when one party, unknown to the other spouse, married only to get immigration status;
lack of consummation, though this claim needs to made rather close to the date of the marriage to have any weight with a judge;
the marriage was illegal due to issues such as bigamy, incest or one or both parties being underage; and
duress, mental incapacity or concealment, which come into play when a party is forced into marriage, did not have the ability to provide voluntary consent, typically associated with intoxication or mental illness, or a party hides a material fact that goes to the foundation of the marriage, such as a lack of desire or inability to have children.
Ending a marriage under any circumstances is hard, but wanting to end a marriage that had an inherent flaw from the beginning is even more difficult to process. Getting an annulment is difficult, but not impossible, especially if the right attorney is working on your behalf.

77,473,173 | The projected $100 million added cost to ratepayers resulted from a 20-year contract approved in 2011 between Eversource and the Burgess BioPower plant in Berlin.
It is “probable” that sometime in 2019 customers who buy their electricity from Eversource will have paid $100 million more than necessary since 2014 because the energy came from the Berlin biomass plant instead of the open market.
That’s according to Thomas C. Frantz, director of the Electric Division of the NH Public Utilities Commission.
This year that additional cost affects about 382,000 customers who purchase their energy from Eversource.
Typically, residential customers will pay Eversource about $30 more than necessary over the year, according to InDepthNH.org calculations. That assumes the use of 625 kilowatt-hours each month.
Another 131,000 customers in New Hampshire buy electricity from other suppliers, although they may be billed through Eversource.
That projected $100 million cost is the result of a controversial 20-year contract approved in 2011 between Public Service of NH – now doing business as Eversource – and the Burgess BioPower plant in Berlin.
Because the plant uses biomass, those customers are, in effect, subsidizing the logging industry. Indeed, a major argument by politicians who wanted the PUC to approve the contract was that buying biomass would provide an enormous boost to the struggling North Country.
The plant began full-power operation in 2014 and is owned by Cate Street Capital Holdings Group, according to court records.
In 2011, as the PUC was considering whether to approve the contract, consumer advocates and the PUC staff said it was a bad deal for Eversource customers.
By the end of the 20-year contract “the risk exists that ratepayers could pay hundreds of millions of dollars in over-market costs,” then-Consumer Advocate Meredith Hatfield told commissioners.
Indeed, the PUC is now estimating that the over-market costs will hit $100 million in only five or six years.
At the time, officials from PSNH defended the proposed contract and said if energy prices rose, then the Berlin deal could be good.
There were some changes, but the contract was approved by the three PUC commissioners – Thomas Getz, Amy Ignatius and Clifton Below.
Getz is now employed by a law firm that does work for Eversource; Ignatius is a Superior Court judge and Below works in property management. All declined comment.
The contract they approved requires Eversource to buy the Berlin electricity at a fixed price, regardless of how much cheaper it is on the open market, where Eversource also buys some additional electricity. And it allows the added cost to be passed along to customers.
For 2017, Eversource expects to pay about $70 per megawatt-hour for Berlin electricity, or about 40 percent more than the open market. That should add up to about $17.5 million more than necessary, an Eversource official testified before the PUC in December.
Eversource spokesman Martin Murray declined to comment or confirm the projected costs. But he said PSNH agreed to the Berlin project because “there was a call from across our state government” for the utility to help provide jobs in the North Country.
Murray said officials who supported the plant included then-Gov. John Lynch; Executive Council members, including Ray Burton, Daniel St. Hilaire; Sen. Jeb Bradley, Sen. John Gallus and Coos County Commissioners Bing Judd, Tom Brady and Paul Grenier, who is also the mayor of Berlin. Brady and Grenier remain on the commission.
Grenier told InDepthNH.org that the contract has been great for Berlin, and energy prices could still increase enough to make it a good deal for consumers.
Gallus, who has since retired, said it was clear in 2011 that Eversource customers would be paying extra so the plant could operate, but the North Country desperately needed help.
When the PUC was considering the contract, advocates argued that burning biomass – typically chips of leftover wood from logging – would help meet state mandates aimed at moving away from fossil fuel.
But the major push came from politicians, including some of those cited by Eversource’s Murray. They argued that the plant would need so much biomass that it would be a huge economic boost to the forest industry.
There were no hard-and-fast promises about how much of the scrap wood would come from New Hampshire. But officials from Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, the developer, promised an emphasis on the North Country, predicting about $20 million a year in purchases.
Over the last three years, a little more than 50 percent of the biomass came from New Hampshire, according to figures provided by Cate Street Capital. Maine has had the second largest share, about 30 percent.
“We don’t say we are only going to buy from New Hampshire because we would be cutting our own throat competitively,” said Ned Dwyer, an official at Cate Street. But Dwyer said New Hampshire will continue to provide the most.
“We think it is appropriate from a community standpoint, we think it is appropriate from a logistics standpoint,” he said.
Some loggers said privately that they are surprised to learn that more biomass doesn’t come from New Hampshire.
But Bing Judd, who led the Coos County Board of Commissioners in supporting the biomass project, told InDepthNH.org that 50 percent is “about what we expected.”
Since the plant opened in 2014 Burgess has spent more than $40 million for biomass in New Hampshire, said Sarah Boone, a vice president at Cate Street.
It’s not surprising that New Hampshire’s share of the biomass business is around 50 percent because the Berlin plant is so close to Maine, said Jasen Stock, executive director of the NH Timberland Owners Association.
Stock said he’d love to see all of the wood coming from New Hampshire, but the reality is that this is a regional market.
“We can’t be so provincial to think that only New Hampshire loggers and only New Hampshire tree farms are going to provide wood and that’s it,” he said.
The viability of the Burgess BioPower plant in Berlin could be in danger if the over-market payments hit $100 million.
Anything over that $100 million is deducted from the payments that the plant receives from Eversource. That has the potential to steadily erode the plant’s profitability. And that would raise the possibility of legislative action or reconsideration by the PUC.
Cate Street Capital’s Boone said the company is monitoring that balance and “should the need arise we will look at all options available to us. Continuing to keep Burgess BioPower successfully operating is of vital importance to Coos County.”
And, what does state Consumer Advocate D. Maurice Kreis think about the projected $100 million over-market cost?
“The Burgess BioPower deal is what it is. I will let others judge the extent to which higher rates paid by Eversource customers as the result of this contract are justified by the other benefits that were promised at the time,” Kreis said in an email.
“I am always focused on the next deal in which consumers are being asked to pay more for their energy to advance the greater good, or to guarantee profits to shareholders of utilities and other companies. In the energy realm as in everything else, we know what happens to those who fail to learn the lessons of the past,” he said.
One of the promises made by developers of the proposed biomass plant in Berlin was the creation of 200 jobs in the trucking and logging business, mostly in the North Country. But finding them is hard.
State employment figures combine forestry jobs with other categories. And an apples-to-apples comparison is further complicated because the economic situation has changed. There’s less demand for biomass, with plants in Maine either closing or cutting back.
Consequently, purchases by Burgess BioPower have become “very, very important” to the logging industry in New Hampshire, said Charles Levesque, president of Innovative Natural Resource Solutions, LLC.
One of those who is happy is Christopher Nelson, a logger from Jefferson who urged the PUC to approve the contract.
“It has been a big asset with markets dwindling,” he said. “It is nice to have another market in place. I am very grateful for that mill right now.”
The prediction of 200 jobs came from Louis Bravakis, an official working for developer Laidlaw Berlin BioPower, when he testified before the Site Evaluation Committee.
At one point, SEC chairman Thomas Burack asked Bravakis if there was some documentation of his 200-job claim.
Bravakis cited an economic study submitted to the Public Utilities Commission by Lisa Shapiro, a consultant for Eversource. But many of Shapiro’s calculations were based on statements that Laidlaw officials made in the construction application being considered by the SEC.
So, there was a mirroring aspect: Bravakis was citing a report filed with the PUC that relied on information his company supplied.
This text explores encounters between hermaphrodites - people born with "ambigious" sexual anatomy - and the medical and scientific professionals who grappled with them. Alice Dreger focuses on events in France and Britain in the late 19th century, a moment of great tension for question of sex roles. While the feminists, homosexuals, and anthropological explorers openly questioned the natures and purposes of the two sexes, anatomical hermaphrodites suggested a deeper question: just how many human sexes are there? Ultimately hermaphrodites led doctors and scientists to another surprisingly difficult question: what is sex, really? The book takes the reader inside the doctor's chamber to see how and why medical and scientific men constructed sex, gender, and sexuality as they did, and especially how the material conformation of hermaphroditic bodies - when combined with social exigencies - forced peculiar constructions. Throughout the book Dreger indicates how this history can help us to understand present-day conceptualizations of sex, gender, and sexuality. |

Fresh leaves of deer's tongue contain large quantities (more than 10% of the dry weight, in some cases) of o-hydroxycinnamic acid (o-HCA). Both cis- and trans-o-HCA are present, and both isomers exist in the fresh tissue predominantly as glucosides. Cured deer's tongue leaves contain relatively high levels of coumarin and lower amounts of o-HCA glucosides. It is probable that during the curing process cis-o-HCA glucoside is hydrolyzed by an endogenous g-glucosidase, and that the liberated cis-o-HCA lactonizes spontaneously to form coumarin. |

As our movement of love begins to take strides across the globe, we've witnessed the prosperity of new Desert Hearts communities fostering love and positive intentions. Our ultimate goal is to create communities world-wide that give artists and patrons a platform to express themselves and be the best people they can be. Our festivals are the light which guide this movement of love and our community is a role model for what can happen when people put their differences aside and come together in the name of love.
For our Spring Festival 2016, our intention is more clear than ever: Love. The world needs more love and that’s why Desert Hearts is here. Let’s shout from the mountain tops and practice what we preach. It’s time to make a difference in the world and it starts in the hearts and minds of our family.
Gates open for General Admission, Friday at 10am. Thursday early arrival passes allow admission Thursday at Noon. Music starts at 4pm on Friday and bumps nonstop until Monday at 4pm. Tickets include entrance, camping, and access to all open kitchens, theme camps, & art installations.
We are expecting a much larger response for our Spring Festival 2016 than ever before, but we have decided to limit our capacity to maintain our intimate One Stage, One Vibe philosophy of Desert Hearts. We highly encourage you to sign up for our family mailing list because everyone on our mailing list will have first priority to buy the cheapest tickets possible hours before tickets go on sale to the public. Our goal is to reward our most loyal Desert Hearts Family who have been so incredibly good to us as we've grown over the years.
For each tier we have a limited number of tickets for sale. After the tickets sell out at each tier, the price will increase to the next tier. Our last three festivals sold out relatively quick so act fast to ensure your spot is safe in the dust.
If you are planning to camp in the campgrounds with your vehicle, you will need a Car Camping Pass. If you are arriving in a RV or bus, you will need a RV pass or else you will not be allowed entry. If you don't need to camp directly next to your car, there is a huge parking lot about a 2-5 minute walk to the campgrounds where you'll be able to park and leave your car. It is literally the shortest festival walk you'll ever do so don't even trip when Car Camping Passes sell out.
Early Entry Passes allow entrance to the festival grounds on Thursday before music starts on Friday. If you would like to enter on Thursday you will still need a regular general admission pass as well.
*Note: All cars & RVs will have to pay the standard $20 Environmental Impact Fee upon arrival, even if you bought a Car or RV Camping Pass.

HATTON — When Jeff Jones drove out to his pasture Monday with three buckets of barley and other grains for his cattle, the livestock couldn't wait for him to pour it out.
By the time he had emptied the second five-gallon bucket, several cows crowding around his pickup truck had already knocked over the third and were quickly finishing it off.
The field looks green from the road, Jones said, but there is little nutrition there for his animals. The tallest plants were rat's tail, an invasive weed with little nutritional value that cows avoid, with stunted Korean lespedeza.
“That grass this year ought to be about this tall,” Jones said, holding his hand at his thigh. “They would be standing knee-high in the grass and you can see that there’s hardly any grass there at all.”
The drought affecting Missouri farmers this year has driven up hay prices and forced farmers to switch from ponds to well water or public water supplies. Farmers are selling livestock, sending beef prices to one of the lowest levels in the past decade, and cut estimates of corn yields by about 20 percent.
On Monday, Gov. Mike Parson, along with several cabinet officials and representatives of farm groups, announced steps to make state grass and water available. Farmers and ranchers will be able to haul water from several state park and conservation areas and enter a lottery to mow hay on almost 900 acres of state-owned grasslands, Parson said.
During a news conference, Parson said the actions will help farmers manage the higher costs of sustaining their operations through the drought.
“Maybe we save some people’s businesses and farms out there and that’s what we are trying to do here today,” Parson said.
The Department of Natural Resources will conduct a lottery for hay cutting at 14 state parks and conservation areas, including 80 acres at Rock Bridge Memorial State Park in Boone County. Water may be taken from lakes and ponds at more than 30 locations, including Rudolf Bennitt Conservation Area, Rocky Fork Lakes Conservation Area and Finger Lakes State Park in Boone County.
Much of Missouri received rain Sunday evening and early Monday, and while participants in Parson’s news conference said it was helpful, it wasn’t enough. The National Weather Services recorded 0.31 inches of rain in Columbia overnight, bringing the total for the month to just under 1 inch. Since June 1, Columbia has received only half the average rainfall and the deficit for the year is more than 10 inches.
“These forages out in the field – just because we are getting some rain now doesn’t mean these forages are going to come back,” said Lloyd Gunter of the Missouri Dairy Association.
When the growing season began, Missouri was already short of rain but most of the state was not yet feeling drought conditions.
In mid-May, when most planting completed, only half the state was experiencing dry conditions and only a small fraction, 15 percent, was actually in what is termed moderate drought. Corn farmers rated their crop 71 percent good or excellent and 84 percent of livestock producers said they had enough water.
As of last Tuesday, 25 percent of the state, including most of Boone County, was in extreme drought and the fraction listed in exceptional drought included the Rocheport area and most of Howard County. Corn farmers are far more pessimistic about their fields, with 44 percent calling their crop poor or very poor in the weekly U.S. Department of Agriculture crop condition report released Monday. Fewer than half of the state's livestock producers had enough water and 80 percent were short of hay and other feed.
For cattle farmers, the drought means there is little grass to mow for hay for the winter and pastures are not producing enough to sustain herds through the summer. Jones runs Jones Angus Farms in Callaway County, where he and his family manage 300 cows and several hundred acres of row crops used to feed them.
“It is having a major impact,” Jones said. “It takes a lot of water to raise grass and there’s not a lot of water out there.”
During the last major drought, in 2012, Jones connected watering troughs to public water supplies and it's his last option if his wells go dry.
Importing hay from other states means prices have shot up and the transportation costs also are expensive, he said.
Parson owns a cattle farm in Polk County and is experiencing the effects of the drought himself. He is now using hay to feed livestock. |

Welcome to the first palindrome year of the millennium! I trust this will mean not that we go backwards and forwards but that we neatly integrate developments--in theory, implementation, and applications--leading to startling new successes. Among the challenging areas of research in automated reasoning is program verification--particularly of parallel programs; Olga Shumsky Matlin has contributed an interesting article on this topic. Also in this issue are announcements for numerous conferences for the year 2002. It promises to be an exciting year, and I hope that you will contribute some of your research results to the AAR Newsletter and to its companion the Journal of Automated Reasoning.
Johann M. Schumann has published a new book entitled Automated Theorem Proving in Software Engineering. Using case studies on verification of communication and security protocols and logic-based component reuse, the book demonstrates that state-of-the-art automated theorem provers can handle important tasks automatically during the development of high-quality software. It also provides numerous techniques for increasing practical usability of the automated theorem prover for successful applications.
The Handbook of Automated Reasoning, edited by J. Alan Robinson and Andrei Voronkov. presents an overview of the fundamental ideas, techniques, and methods in automated reasoning and its applications. The material covers both theory and implementation. In addition to traditional topics, the book covers material that bridges the gap between automated reasoning and related areas. Examples include model checking, nonmonotonic reasoning, numerical constraints, description logics, and implementation of declarative programming languages.
Reasoning about parallel programs is surprisingly difficult. Even small parallel programs are difficult to write correctly, and an incorrect parallel program is equally difficult to debug. This characterization has been borne out in experiences with writing the Multi-Purpose Daemon (MPD): despite MPD's small size and apparent simplicity, errors have impeded progress toward correct code. Such a situation led to exploration of program verification techniques.
MPD [1] is a process manager for parallel programs and is itself a parallel program. Its function is to start the processes of a parallel job, manage input and output, deal with faults, provide services to the application, and cause jobs to terminate cleanly. MPD is the sort of process manager needed to run applications that use the standard MPI [3] library for parallelism, although it is not MPI-specific.
Our attempt to use formal verification techniques to ensure correctness of MPD algorithms employs the model checker SPIN [4], which supports design and verification of asynchronous distributed communicating systems. Models of such systems are recorded in a special high-level verification language PROMELA, which can also be used to state some correctness properties of the models. Additional correctness properties are specified by using linear temporal logic (LTL). The verification engine of SPIN is based on on-the-fly reachability analysis with several optimizations and heuristics. The system also includes a simulation environment and a graphical user interface.
The MPD system consists of several types of processes (called daemon, manager, console, and client) that communicate over Unix sockets and pipes. Daemons and managers are connected in a ring. A typical setup of the MPD system is shown in Figure 1.
MPD algorithms execute on daemons and managers. Daemons and managers execute in essentially infinite loop: they receive messages on their connections and perform actions depending on the type of the received message. The actions are relatively simple and typically involve sending another message. Thus, daemons and managers are viewed and modeled in three layers. On the first layer is the main loop that allows to select a message from one of the attached communication connections. The middle layer is the collection of algorithms that are executed in response to each defined message type. The bottom layer is the mechanism that allows messages to travel from one process to another. The real MPD system relies on Unix sockets for communication between the processes, and the operating system provides all the necessary services.
The MPD algorithms that we would like to verify thus reside in the middle layer of the three-tiered model. To proceed with verification, we must model not only the algorithms of interest but also the interprocess communication of the bottom level; that is, we have to create a Promela model of Unix sockets. Success of verification attempts depends on the efficiency of the underlying model, and so creation of an efficient Promela model of sockets was important. Several Promela models of socket handling functions were tried. Finally, we created a reusable general-purpose library of Unix socket functions. The library contains implementations of the socket functions connect, accept, read, write, close, and select. These functions provide the interface between the interprocess communication layer of the three-tiered model and the middle layer where the algorithms reside. A different implementation of the socket library can be used, if desired, without making any changes to the model of the algorithms.
We considered algorithms that reside on different levels of the MPD system. Two related daemon-level algorithms were modeled: an algorithm for simultaneously inserting new members into a ring of daemons and an algorithm for a recovery of the ring after a single nondeterministic daemon failure. Each of the two algorithms was verified against two correctness properties. The first property (state) is a static check that the information contained in the underlying data structures indeed represents a properly connected ring. The second property (trace) is that a special purpose ring traversal algorithm completes after having visited each member of the ring. We also modeled a manager-level algorithm to provide a synchronization service to the client application processes. A correctness property, stating that no client is allowed to proceed past the synchronization point until all clients have reached the synchronization point, was proved for the algorithm with SPIN's aid.
As shown in Table 1, verification succeeded on models of only a small size, especially compared with the real MPD system that can involve hundreds if not thousands of processes. However, since even the most difficult errors can be discovered on models comprising only a few processes, the verification engine of SPIN enables us to verify the algorithms on models that are sufficiently large for our purposes.
Currently we use SPIN to explore and verify individual MPD algorithms. However, many things take place in parallel in a running MPD system. Daemons enter and leave the ring, as do managers, different client processes request different services from the managers, and several instances of the same algorithm may be executing simultaneously. Correct interaction of these algorithms is also important. We hope to be able to reason formally about MPD models that consist of several related and interdependent algorithms.
A long-term goal of this project is to model and verify MPD algorithms and then translate them into C or another programming language, while preserving the verified properties. Ideally, translation should be automated. In order to allow this to happen, the Promela model must not be overly abstract. We compared the C implementation of the barrier algorithm with its specification in Promela. The comparison suggests that the automated translation is feasible.
The Promela implementation of the the Unix socket library, models of the verified MPD algorithms and a technical report [2] with a more detailed description of the project are available at on the Web site.

A workshop on "Complexity in Automated Deduction" will take place in conjunction with CADE-18 on July 25-26, 2002, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The workshop will bring together researchers interested in problems at the interface between automated deduction and computational complexity. If you are interested in giving a contributed talk, please send an abstract, preferably as a PostScript attachment, to [email protected] no later than Friday, May 17, 2002.
The 5th International Workshop on Strategies in Automated Deduction (STRATEGIES 2002) will be held in conjunction with CADE at FLoC in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 26, 2002.
Strategies are almost ubiquitous in automated deduction and reasoning systems, because the rules at the heart of such systems are nondeterministic and need to be complemented by strategies, or search plans, responsible for controlling them. The role that search plans play in making the resulting procedures capable of solving efficiently interesting problems is no less than that played by the inference systems themselves, since typical deduction paradigms (e.g., generation of consequences, subgoal-reduction, generation of instances, case analysis, enumeration) generate very large or infinite spaces of choices.
These considerations apply to both fully automated systems (theorem provers, model builders, rewriting engines, decision procedures) and interactive ones (proof assistants and verification systems) and affect them at all levels, from abstract definition to design and implementation. The combination of automated components (e.g., theorem provers and decision procedures) as well as their integration within interactive systems to generate the reasoning environments of the future poses new control problems and puts the study of strategies at the forefront.
The workshop on Strategies in Automated Deduction is the primary forum for the communication of new results on control strategies and search plans in automated theorem proving, automated model building, decision procedures, interactive proof assistants, proof planners, and logical frameworks and in first-order (including propositional and purely equational as special cases),, modal (e.g., temporal) and higher-order logics. Sample topics include the following:
Models of search spaces and languages or mathematical formalisms to define search plans and prove their properties
Strategy analysis (e.g., formal approaches for the machine-independent evaluation and comparison of deduction strategies)
Strategies devoted to specific theories including inductive theories, arithmetic, decidable theories, and combinations thereof
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract of up to 10 pages. Researchers interested in attending the workshop without giving a talk are invited to send a position paper of 1--2 pages. All submissions should be sent to the Program Chairs ([email protected]) in Postscript before April 22, 2002. Accepted contributions will be included in the workshop proceedings, which will be available at the workshop and on the Web.
Based on the submissions, the Program Chairs will consider the possibility of a postworkshop publication (e.g., a special issue of a journal or a volume in a series of electronic proceedings), where authors may submit full versions of the workshop papers. This may involve another call for papers and refereeing process.
Advances in Modal Logic will be held September 30 - October 2, 2002, in Toulouse, France. AiML 2002 is part of an initiative aimed at presenting an up-to-date picture of the state of the art in modal logic and its many applications. Topics of interest include the following: complexity and decidability of modal and temporal logics, deontic logic, description logics, dynamic logic, epistemic logic, modal logic and game theory, modal logic and grammar formalisms, modal realism and antirealism, modal and temporal logic programming and theorem proving, model theory and proof theory of modal and temporal logic, representation of time in natural language semantics, nonmonotonic modal logics, provability logic, and common-sense temporal reasoning. During the workshop there also will be a special session on modal logics of space.
Authors are invited to submit a detailed abstract of a full paper of at most 10 pages (a4paper, 11pt) by e-mail to one of the program chairs (Nobu-Yuki Suzuki, [email protected], or Frank Wolter, [email protected]) using `AiML Submission' as the subject line. Submissions must be received no later than May 15, 2002. Note that at least one author of each accepted paper is required to register for and attend the conference to present the paper. Preliminary versions of the full papers should be made available at the workshop; the proceedings volumes will be submitted to CSLI Publications.
A workshop on "Hybrid Logics" will take place at LICS 2002, on July 25, 2002, in Copenhagen, Denmark. Hybrid logic is a branch of modal logic in which it is possible to directly refer to worlds, times, states, or whatever the elements of the (Kripke) model are meant to represent. Although they date back to the late 1960s and have been sporadically investigated ever since, it is only in the 1990s that work on them really got into its stride. The workshop is relevant to a wide range of people, including those interested in description logic, feature logic, applied modal logics, temporal logic, and labeled deduction. Moreover, the workshop is devoted to exploring ideas Prior first introduced 30 years ago: it will be an ideal opportunity to see how his ideas have been developed in the intervening period. Contributions in the form of an extended abstract (up to 10 A4 size pages) should be sent in PostScript format to [email protected] before April 26, 2002. Please note that all workshop contributors are required by the LICS organizers to register for FLoC 2002. Visit the Web site for further information.
The 5th International Symposium on the Theory and Applications of Satisfiability Testing will take place on May 6-9, 2001, in Cincinnati, Ohio, USA. Several aspects of satisfiability testing will be explored including propositional proof systems, search techniques, relationship between BDDs and search, applications such as in formal verification, probabilistic analysis of SAT algorithms and SAT properties, upper bounds on SAT algorithm performance, specific solvers, empirical results, and quantified Boolean formulas. Extended abstracts are due February 6, 2002.
In conjunction with the symposium, there will be an SAT Solver Competition (BDD packages welcome). SAT solvers and benchmarks are due March 6, 2002. See the symposium home page for further details.
The second international workshop on "Reduction Strategies in Rewriting and Programming" will be held in conjunction with RTA 2002 in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 21, 2002.
Reduction strategies bridge the gap between unrestricted general rewriting (computation) and (more deterministic) rewriting with particular strategies (programming). Moreover, reduction strategies provide a natural way to go from operational principles (e.g., graph and term rewriting, narrowing, lambda-calculus) and semantics (e.g., normalization, computation of values, infinitary normalization, head-normalization) to implementations of programming languages. Therefore, progress in this area is likely to be of interest not only to the rewriting community, but also to neighboring fields like functional programming, functional-logic programming, and termination proofs of algorithms.
The workshop seeks to provide a forum for the presentation of recent developments and new research directions (max. 10 pages) as well as discussion of surveys on existing knowledge in this area (no page limit). Topics of interest include theoretical foundations for reduction strategies; strategies in different frameworks (e.g., term rewriting, lambda calculi, constraint solving) and their application in programming; properties of reduction strategies and computation under strategies (e.g., completeness, computability, decidability); interrelations, combinations, and applications of reduction under different strategies; program analysis and other semantics-based optimization techniques dealing with reduction strategies; rewrite systems, tools, and implementations with programmable strategies as an essential concept; specification of reduction strategies in (real) languages; and data structures and implementation techniques for reduction strategies.
Submissions should be sent in PostScript format to the following e-mail address [email protected] before April 15, 2002. Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings that will be available at the workshop, and electronically on the web. A special issue of the Journal of Symbolic Computation on will be designated for revised and extended versions of selected contributions from both WRS 2001 (Utrecht, May 2001) and WRS 2002.

All submissions will be reviewed according to the usual standards of scholarship and originality. The deadline for submissions is February 22, 2002.
From the viewpoint of automated reasoning and, in a different way, from the viewpoint of mathematics, when asked to find a proof for a theorem, you have three choices. You can proceed as is often done in a class by starting with the axioms, make one deduction after another, and conclude with the desired result. In other words, you can produce a forward proof. Instead, you could deny the conclusion of the theorem, work backward, and, if successful, produce a deduction that contradicts some axiom. In this case, you have a backward proof. Or, as you have surmised, you can seek a bidirectional proof, working forward from the axioms and backward from the denial of the conclusion.
One of the piquant, or annoying, properties of automated reasoning is encountered when you have a bidirectional proof and wish, instead, to have a forward proof. Especially (but not exclusively) when paramodulation is the inference rule, you can be offered theorems to prove for which you can find a bidirectional proof, perhaps with some effort, but for which finding a forward proof will be most challenging. One reason is that if you simply give a program permission to paramodulate from or into a variable, with no constraints, the program can drown. Yes, paramodulation is indeed sinister.
In this column, I offer you such a theorem. The theorem focuses on ring theory. You are first challenged to find a proof, any proof. Then, more challenging, you are asked to find a forward proof.
If and when success is yours, a nice research topic focuses on finding a procedure—not necessarily an algorithm—for converting bidirectional proofs to forward.

Of these, 129 were returned with a vote, representing a participation level of 13.0% (as compared to 16.2% in 2011, 13.3% in 2010, 18.3% in 2009, 18% in 2008, 16.4% in 2007, and 16.0% in 2006). All votes were valid.
Therefore, in each iteration of the single transferrable vote algorithm described in the CADE Bylaws, a candidate is elected iff she or he gets at least 65 1st preference votes. Otherwise, the votes of the candidate with the least 1st preference votes are redistributed.
The two remaining candidates have the same number of 1st preference votes. In this case, the CADE STV algorithm requires redistributing the votes of the candidate with the fewest 2nd preference votes.
To find the next elected candidate, we redistribute the votes of Bernhard Gramlich and get the following table:
To find the next elected candidate, we redistribute the votes of Renate Schmidt and get the following table:
On behalf of the AAR and CADE Inc., I thank Rajeev Goré for his services as a trustee during the last three years.
While the Open Carry Texas guys swagger about in public with their ginormous junk on display, others prefer to keep their guns on the downlow… Especially the ladies.
WFAA 8 reports Texas women hold over 25 percent of concealed firearms permits in the state, and 67,000 applied in 2013 alone. This presents them with a puzzling dilemma — no, not what the heck’s going on in our society that makes all these women feel like they need to carry weapons around, that would be silly — but, where to hide their handguns.
According to WFAA 8 (scroll down to the bottom for the video report), women often keep their handguns in their purses because, as Carrie Lightfoot from The Well Armed Woman points out:
“Most holsters have been built for men’s bodies. Women are built differently, and we dress differently. Because one day she’s wearing a dress, the next day she’s wearing a suit, the next day she’s wearing exercise clothing.”
Demand has spawned a bustling new industry that offers a dizzying array of holsters and accessories, so women can pack their heat more comfortably. These include all sorts of garter belts, waistbands, magic underwear, pouches, purses, anklets, and more. Yet, these femme-fatale-friendly options pose a whole new set of challenges — like quickly extracting your handgun from your Flash Bang Bra holster.
That’s where Lightfoot and her organization come in. Tag-lined “Where the feminine and firearms meet,” the Well Armed Woman offers merchandise, classes, and resources to its large and growing community of women gun owners.
1. Wear it like a man: If you’re wearing jeans and don’t mind that unflattering bulge on your hip, you can wear your gun like a man and hook a regular holster on your belt. But this doesn’t work for many women — or their wardrobes.
4. The waist or belly band. They’re comfortable and can have additional pockets for personal items like wallets, keys, kleenex, and extra ammunition. But, The Well-Armed Woman web site warns:
A caution when using belly bands and under wraps is the likelihood of aiming the muzzle of your firearm at your torso when placing it in the holster. Placing the firearm in the holster prior to putting it on is a good practice. It can be difficult to adjust or re-holster your firearm once the band or wrap is in place without compromising your non-dominant hand or torso.
7. Compression concealment shorts. These give you a place to put your handgun and a smooth, flattering fit! Well, smooth and flattering except for that weird bulge… Available in white and nude, with holsters for right- or left-hand access … or both.
8. Compression tank top. As with the compression concealment shorts, you get a flattering fit, and they’re available in white, nude, and black. Unfortunately, you may need to stick your spare handgun in the above compression shorts, because the tank top doesn’t exactly offer easy access.
“These ‘undershirts’ have holster pockets on both sides and holds the firearm just under the armpit. These are not considered fast draw holsters as depending on the clothing you are wearing – you will have to get to the firearm to draw it, this can slow up your draw time considerably.”
9. Pistol Pouch from Thunderwear: Great for a casual summer day at the beach! Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?
11. Classic Hip Hugger Holster: Billed as “the most versatile holster you’ll ever wear,” this Can Can Concealment original lets you carry “up to four firearms and three mags at the same time.”
12. Garter Holster: This stylish little number holds two firearms and one magazine. Toss a classic little black dress over it, and you’re all set to dance the night away. The laces and trim come in several jazzy colors.
“The combination of a super strong clip and a perfectly light retention on the gun allows this holster to be used with or without a belt. It can also be clipped into an interior pocket of a purse, or even to the top of a cowboy boot!”
14. A purse: If you’d rather carry your concealed weapon in a purse, there are lots of stylish options online with secret compartments. Just please don’t drop it!
16. Shoes with guns for heels: Watch out, Manolo, these Louboutins are chic, practical, and lethal. Though, for a quick get-away, you’ll need to bring along your Chucks.

198,446,420 | I am the mother to four children (11 years, 3 years and 2 years, and a 6 weeks old). I have been pregnant six times. As it is perhaps for many (or perhaps, most) women ‘motherhood’ has occupied a complex place in my journey both as a daughter and as mother. I became a mother in my mid-twenties: pregnant at twenty five, motherhood happened when I was not so young and not so old. My life was very different when I had my eldest son. I was unhappy, isolated, and lonely. Soon after my son was born I ended what I found to be a difficult ten year relationship with his father and made a decision to ‘share care’ my eldest son with his father. I would soon regret this decision but shared-care is still in place – a situation that has improved only slightly as my son has developed and matured, but problems with the arrangement continue to this day – stubbornly entrenched. Years later and in a very different relationship and situation I had another son, then two daughters. I am now again in the reflective post-natal time, my baby daugther just 6 weeks old. I am in a reflective mood, dreaming of past pregnancies, past babies – thinking about what motherhood has meant for me and how my maternity continues to evolve.
What I want to share here is how drawing helped me to connect and understand my fractured and complicated new motherhood. I cannot think of this time without being almost consumed by what happened after. As joyous as I was to become a mother, I was also, in most other ways very sad. I made decisions that I regret and the consequences of which are still very much felt. As I ended what I experienced to be an unhappy relationship I struggled to come to terms with all that came next which would left me questioning the place for me in my son’s life and completely undermined my.motherhood.
It was during this time, over ten years ago, that I embarked on a prolonged period of ‘working-through’ my maternity using practices such as reading, writing and drawing to reflect on my maternal subjectivity – to think about what becoming-a-mother and being-a-mother meant for me, and what I could learn from this in the wider context of exploring subjectivity. This was about survivial as much as it was about transformation. I needed to understand in order to be-a-mother and to keep hold of my precious boy. Here I want to share a specific aspect of this working-through – the part where I put some of the ideas and concepts of Israeli born artist, theoretician and psychoanalyst Bracha Ettinger to work in the understanding of my early mothering experiences. What follows is a brief introduction to Ettinger’s ideas followed by some of my drawings that formed part of the working-through.
Bracha Ettinger theories and concepts stem from what she refers to as the matrixial realm – a shareable, psychic dimension that underlies the individual unconscious and experience and is concerned with the intrauterine1 time and space but then transcends it. The womb, the matrix in Ettinger’s terms, is used, not primarily as a ‘natural organ’, but is used as a support for the theorisation of the matrixial field where we develop primal transsubjectivity and subsubjectivity; the ability, in the later stages of pregnancy, to relate to each other as partial subjectivities, co-emerging I and non-I‘s (foetus/baby and mother). The womb is thus used to think through human subjectivity and the possibility of a supplementary2 feminine difference – that is the human potentiality for shareability, as Ettinger writes:
the womb stands for a psychic capacity for shareability created in the borderlinking to a female body – a capacity for differentiation-in-co-emergence that occurs in the course of separation-in-jointness, where the affects and mental waves are continuously reattuned.3
At the matrixial borderspace – there is a meeting point between the becoming-mother and the foetus in the later stages of pregnancy – through what Ettinger calls transsubjectivity I (foetus) and non-I (mother) co-emerge and co-fade. This matrixial time, this intrauterine encounter is concerned with subjectivity-as-encounter or subjectivity as a shared event, between I and non-I. This happens between the partial, not full, becoming-subject and the not-yet, becoming-mother and is different each time it occurs. When it does happen, Ettinger writes of matrixial paths and strings being opened through what she described as the borderlinking between I as partial-subject and unknown non-I(s) and this merged partial subjectivity produces and shares ‘objects’ through vibrations, resonances via borderlinking between the subject-to-be and the becoming-mother. Within this transsubjective zone, matrixial frequencies, intensities and affects (which Ettinger terms the erotic antennae of the psyche4) circulate memory traces.5 These memories may be activated later when the once foetus is now an adult, for example when a woman becomes-a-mother herself, or, in any case these transmitted memory traces of the matrixial time are not forgotten and may potentially be triggered by other events, such as an encounter with art. The memories of this primordial event are not forgotten as the co-emergence from whence they were created is a psychic legacy, as such the new knowledges and the different relation with others is taken forward into the postnatal realm.6
The intrauterine interlacing of I and non-I is a process Ettinger calls metramorphosis.7 The importance of metramorphosis is that is gives name to the passage through which matrixial affects infiltrate the unconscious, wherein each matrixial encounter, Ettinger states ‘engenders jouissance, traumas, pictograms, phantasies, and affects and channels death-drive oscillations, libidinal-erotic flows, their imprints and affected traces in several partners, in compassion, conjointly but differently.’8 This sharing is different between the I and non-I. Ettinger writes that the non-I is a premature subjectivity and, also, because of the traumatic value of events, the I cannot fully handle the events that concern them, ‘they fade-in-transformation while my non-I becomes wit(h)ness to them.’9 Griselda Pollock interprets this metramorphosis passage of knowledge as follows:
the process of human genesis is to be understood as generating a specific kind of knowledge, or rather a knowing, which will show itself as re-cognition or re-co-naissance only in retrospect, since for the becoming-infant, the encounter happens too soon.10
In other words, she postulates that an other, starting with the m/Other (the non-I archaic, first of all a becoming-mother, a mother–to-be),11 will take the transcriptions of these imprints, these traumatic events; the m/Other will thus process them by becoming a wit(h)ness to them. Ettinger uses the neologism ‘wit(h)ness’ (witness with an ‘h’ in the middle) to indicate the sense of mutual co-emergence which marks relations with the matrixial borderspace. This wit(h)nessing enables the ‘woman’ (but not only the women, for this is a feminine field accessible to both men and women) as being able to enter into a web of several, partial subjectivities.12 It also sets up metramorphosis as a process that engenders primordial difference which is transformed by the transcription of memories in a ‘poetic-artistic process.’13
Ettinger maintains that the inter-psychic communication and transmission between individuals of the I and non-I dissolves individual borderlines so they become thresholds.14 It is at these thresholds that the knowledge is passed. This knowledge or subknowledge, is what Ettinger states we get a sense of in visual arts. It is what Ettinger refers to as compassion and fascinance15 that informs emergence within conaissance (co-birthing) of I(s) and non-I(s), which happens by way of this (affective) knowledge. This compassion relates to a transsubjective co-response-ability,16 inaugurated by and in the primordial matrixial encounter-event. This compassion is where pre-maternal hospitality, empathy and responsibility encounters prenatal not yet-mature responsibility, compassion and fascinance.17 This compassion involves interconnectedness in self-relinquishment and wit(h)nessing (being with), which provides the basis for aesthetical and ethical creativity and ethical potentiality that can evolve all throughout life through new matrixial constellations.18 Such new matrixial constellations can be created by artworking – in the creation of art or an encounter with art.
For me, Ettinger’s matrixial theory helped in my understanding of my early motherhood experiences. The matrixial is a theory I have returned to again and again; each time the yields have been different. My drawings are not meant to be an instrumentalisation of the matrixial, nor do they serve as a good-fit in terms of illustrating Ettinger’s theories, as might first be thought. But they are a partial manifestation of a working-through that connect specifically to some of Ettinger’s theories introduced here.
Before I became familiar with Ettinger I started to draw. I drew every day for a year – tiny black-ink scrawly drawings held in a series of small lined notebooks. The compulsion to do this ritualistic daily practice emanated from a desire to work-through some of the difficult senses, feelings, emotions, thoughts I had that were part of, or which I associated with, my maternity. The drawings were concerned with exploring those parts of my maternity that I could not access in the writing of others or by writing myself or in the art of others – the pain I experienced that I thought was my own. Griselda Pollock writes that a matrixial encounter makes us feel fragile and vulnerable but she goes on to to say that this does not mean that we should protect ourselves from it19 – there is something of this that I connect to in the practice of drawing; that I am reminded of when I now see these drawings – that trauma is part of what is means to be human.
In art, the aesthetical working-through bends towards the ethical with matrixial response-ability in wit(h)nessing…Artworking is sensing a potential co-emergence and co-fading and bringing into being objects or events, processes or encounters that sustain these metramorphoses and further transmit their effect. Art evokes further instances of trans-subjectivity that embrace and produce new partial subjects, and makes almost-impossible new borderlinking available, out of elements and links already partially available in bits. These are going to be transformed in ways that can’t be thought of prior to artworking itself, on the way to shifting with-in-to the screen of vision inside the tableau .20
I am not suggesting that my drawings constitute quite what Ettinger is referring to above; but perhaps, for me at least, they functioned as (part of a wider) aesthetical and ethical working-through of my maternity, as a subjective emergence. Furthermore, the drawings might be thought of as an unconscious or subconscious act of fascinance – an aesthetic affect that functions to prolong and delay the time of the (matrixial) encounter-event. This was not the intention at the time, but reading Ettinger’s ideas has provided a particular understanding of them. Taken as such then, these drawings could be said to be part of a something, that might well be part of a working-through of matrixial differentiating-in-jointness that paved the way to a more ethical way of being, and certainly to an openness to the possibility of being transformed by maternity, by art or indeed by other encounters.
1Ettinger describes the intrauterine as ‘…a “feminine” dimension based on [the] pregnancy pattern.’Ibid., 218.
2‘Supplementary’ to that of the psychoanalysis of the Freud and Lacan. For example, Lacanian theory is concerned with a subjectivity that develops only postnally through a series of cuts, and which is organised around the phallic. The mother-child dyad that exists is the realm of Lacan’s Imaginary, whereas the Symbolic – language is the realm of the postnatal. As highly simplified, according to Lacanian thinking with the threat of paternal castration looming the infant must deny the mother and leave behind the maternal body – the feminine devalued.
15Fascinance is an aesthetic affect that functions to prolong and delay the time of the encounter-event, which allows a working-through of matrixial differentiating-in-jointness. For fascinance to take place there must be compassionate hospitality (from the m/Other); that is fascinance takes place only if ‘borderlinking with-in a real virtual, traumatic or phantasmatic encounter-event meets with compassionate hospitality arriving from the other (as m/Other).’Ettinger, ‘Copoiesis’, 707. This working-through of the traces of the Other is what Ettinger calls an ‘aesthetical gesture’.Ibid. Ettinger posits artworking and prolonged psychoanalytical healing as both potential instances of such compassionate encounter-events of prolonged generosity Ettinger, ‘Copoiesis’.
16Pollock defines response-ability as ‘the ability to respond to the humanness of the other, to her vulnerability, and to any risk of the threat to humanness compromised by the cruelty of violence.’ See Pollock, ‘Aesthetic Wit(h)nessing in the Era of Trauma’, 831. For a more expanded discussion of transsubjective co-response-ability see Ettinger, ‘Copoiesis’..
I am a researcher, artist and mother of four based in Sheffield, UK. My partner, children and I co-founded and now collaborate on A Place of Their Own – a critical and creative art, spatial and activist practice.
These are such moving and beautiful words, drawings and ideas, they inspired me to make some drawings today see: “Early Morning Drawings”. My eldest son is away at the moment and perhaps I have too much time to think and reflect with only one child to keep me busy. I miss him so, his presence. When it is not really a choice to have a child apart from you, it is one of great endurance to manage each day. Much Love Helen x |
14,560,229 | This pounding album by the all-girl band from California allows listeners to experience the journey of overcoming death and detachment. Just by looking at the album cover it seems like the music will give the listener some sort of out-of-body experience. However, Only in Dreams is much more than just a good album cover.
Before signing to Sub Pop Records in 2009, the lead singer, known as Dee Dee, would play shows in the San Diego area. Since then, the music and lyrics produced by this band have developed into songs of great force that are all projected in this album
In contrast to their previous album, “I Will Be,” the band wrote about extremely real things they were experiencing in their lives. The Dum Dum Girls stated that they just wrote about things they knew and were familiar with. The lyrics in all of the songs are an excellent reflection of that.
When you first listen to the album, it reflects a very positive vibe. Even though the lyrics express despair, the upbeat persona passes the message of overcoming hard times in life. One main thing the lead singer and songwriter, Dee Dee, was experiencing when writing these songs was the passing of her mother.
In the song “Hold Your Hand”, Dee Dee writes about when she discovered her mother’s fatal illness. “Coming Down” was written right after Dee Dee received news that her mother had passed away.
Other songs were written as a reflection of facing the challenge of detachment not only from Dee Dee’s mother, but from society as a whole. One main idea the lyrics reveal is the challenge of being apart from her husband, Brandon Welchez.
Since the duo both have their own bands, they constantly face the battle of being apart due to tour scheduling. Many of the songs in this album deal with that separation.
“Bedroom Eyes” was written right after Dee Dee had returned home to a lonely and empty house from a European tour. This song is just a single example of the pain Dee Dee felt being away from her husband.
Only in Dreams is an album of genuine lyrics which people from all scales of life are able to connect to on a personal level. The feel-good vibe mixed with absolutely amazing lyrics is what definitely makes this album a success.
Every song on the album has its own special story behind it. After finishing the album and connecting with the lyrics the listener is able to have some sort of closure. It’s the kind of closure that whispers to the listener that no matter what struggle or issue people are faced with in life, everything will eventually be alright.
Last week I promised that I’d post about the Betsy Morgan workshop I attended, so here it is! The workshop was offered through my local EGA chapter and the class was Betsy’s Sampler Casket Etui. Of course, you’ve seen my pre-stitching (above) before. I was rather impressed with myself that I was able to come to class with all my pre-stitching done (unlike that Hare Pyns debacle).
Of course, it is always a treat to get to see the full kit for the piece the first time! Such lovely silks.
In class we worked on assembling our little thimble bag, which was fun. Betsy’s directions are very clear and concise, which I very much appreciate. She also provided us with color copies of each of the pieces too, which will make completing this that much easier.
Anyway, I was able to get my little thimble purse sewn together and my little loops made for the cording to go through for the drawstring.
We also learned in class how to do the Aztec stitch, which we will need for one of our little pieces. She had us practice on something big enough to really be able to see what we were doing. This was my first time cutting and removing threads…eeek! That first snip is the worst.
Anyway, the class was great and I thoroughly enjoyed Betsy. If you haven’t taken a class from her, I highly recommend doing so.
This weekend was spent working on the finishing of my ornament for the guild’s ornament exchange. I’m really looking forward to our holiday party tomorrow night and I’m anxious to see what I’ll come home with in the exchange. But for now, I’ll keep mine a surprise. I think it turned out pretty darn cute, though!!

It hardly seems possible that Labor Day is now behind us and it’s September. I’ve been working on a little project as sort of a last hurrah of summer. It’s Chessie & Me’s Glory House. Sweet little thing, isn’t it?
And you may be wondering what I’ve been up to, since I haven’t blogged in a bit? Well, I had a birthday. And my birthday was full of fun celebrations with friends and family. You can see a little recap in photos over on the other blog here. But I just had to share a few of the wonderful gifts I received.
And she must have gotten tired of me bugging her about the fabulous fingerless gloves with owls on them that she made for her daughter a while back. So she made some for me!!!! I LOVE THEM! (And in case you’re wondering…I’m modeling them with my blue moon manicure in honor of the blue moon that was on August 31st).
I was also treated to a day of wonderful food, laughter, stitching and a little Downton Abbey by some friends. One of them stitched this sweet Needlework Press piece for me. I am in love with the color thread she used.
I have lots more to show you, but I’m attempting to not overload you with photos! So, here’s a quick peek at what I’ve been working on. I’ve found it difficult to settle in and stitch lately, but I’ve been working a little bit on my John Reed sampler. I’m working my way across the top border. I love love love how the AVAS silks are popping on that Confederate Grey linen.
It’s been awhile since I showed you ATS too. Not a lot of progress. I stitched that strawberry band and have started on the alphabet.
Tuesday night I picked up the pre-stitching for a class I’m taking in October with Betsy Morgan. I’m excited about this one.
That’s it for me today. I’ll post again soon with some other birthday pretties I received, a new quilt start, and hopefully some more stitching progress! Thanks, as always, for stopping by. I really appreciate it!

Like many of you I have already set up the Christmas tree and the lights are already twinkling. Every year I decorate the tree in my own way. Yes, you guessed it right - most of my ornaments are handmade. This year I made one with my daughter. She was more excited about this quick and easy Christmas photo ornament. Excited because it was her photo that I was about to put. The photograph we chose is the one where she is mere 6 months old and giving that perfect smile. I suggest you let your child pick their favorites if they are old enough to do so. Let me walk you through this project quickly.
This is a very easy project.Cut the photo into a 2" diameter circle and the outer card stock into 2 pieces of 2.5" diameter circle.
The lace is glued using all purpose glue. As it is a circle, making little pleats make the work easier and neater. I have used the easiest of the paper quilling shapes - the coil. Alternate red and white quilled coils are used to make the border.You can use any shape you like.You can have a look at our older posts on Paper quilling for basic shapes. I added glitter to the coils to make them more festive.
Give the ornament to your kid to hang it on his/her favorite spot. Every-time my daughter looks at this ornament she is so delighted and says " Mommy made it", "Nice".Believe me it is the best compliment you can get for your craft project.
Folks, I’m still working with the Organic Health Response on IT support, and we just got an update in from the radio team on Mfangano Island, Kenya. They interviewed community members and asked them about the future of the radio station. The Ekialo Kiona Radio, EK FM, is proud to be Suba. “Turi alala,” its slogan, means “together” in the local Suba language.
The Organic Health Response (OHR) had a vision to establish a youth-driven, wind-powered, Suba language radio station on Mfangano Island, Kenya. On World AIDS Day Dec. 1st, 2012, OHR successfully launched the radio station EK-FM. Today they broadcast live from a hand-welded communications tower on Mfangano to over 200,000 residents in rural Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
EK-FM is grounded in the philosophy of open community discourse as a cornerstone of holistic and sustainable responses to cultural erosion, environmental degradation, infectious disease, and economic isolation among remote indigenous populations.
EK-FM mobilizes youth activism, empowers marginalized groups, promotes HIV prevention and treatment services, encourages sustainable agriculture, and most importantly, preserves the endangered indigenous Suba language (Olusuba).EK-FM has had a very impactful first year of broadcast, putting OHR and the Ekialo Kiona Center (with IT support from Craig Newmark) at the center of the Suba cultural map in Kenya.
Last week, youth presenters from the station interviewed community members on Mfangano Island and asked them about the future of EK-FM. This is what they had to say:
“I see EK Radio as the only communication tool for the people of Abasuba and that it will be the only way to help salvage the almost extinct Suba language,” paused Ex-Assistant Chief, Mzee Charles Kasera, a Suba elder who helps run the Ekidiori Radio Program focused on Suba culture.
“Aaaaaa …. This is our voice! No one can take it out from us. In fact is has given us, our men, children, and community at large to share together. So, EK is there to stay. It is for eternity,” said Suba, a Piki (Motor cycle) rider on Mfangano Island.
“This is the clearest radio station along the Lake Victoria region. It is even clearer than those with sophisticated equipments. I don’t want it to go away since it is my favorite station. Let it stay forever,” said Pema, a boat manager who resides at Kakiimba village in Mfangano Island.
“I see a radio station that accommodates thousands of people from different regions in the Island, who have come to seek and experience its services. With all the programs, I see a community that is well informed and equipped with first hand information,” says Nancy Sungu, a young radio presenter with the EK Community Youth Radio.
The newly built, ferro-cement studio on the island. The team moved into the new space in February 2014.
Multiple imputation using Fully Conditional Specification (FCS) implemented by the MICE algorithm as described in Van Buuren and Groothuis-Oudshoorn (2011) <doi:10.18637/jss.v045.i03>. Each variable has its own imputation model. Built-in imputation models are provided for continuous data (predictive mean matching, normal), binary data (logistic regression), unordered categorical data (polytomous logistic regression) and ordered categorical data (proportional odds). MICE can also impute continuous two-level data (normal model, pan, second-level variables). Passive imputation can be used to maintain consistency between variables. Various diagnostic plots are available to inspect the quality of the imputations.
When GPU renders triangle meshes, various stages of the GPU pipeline have to process vertex and index data. The efficiency of these stages depends on the data you feed to them; this library provides algorithms to help optimize meshes for these stages, as well as algorithms to reduce the mesh complexity and storage overhead.
Currently there is only a single monolithic demo example, which runs nearly the entire feature matrix. In the near future I will make a straight forward tool example that shows the minimal calls to perform mesh optimization in a typical game engine pipeline. In demo, the opt_complete routine is the approach to get 100% optimal GPU performance. Further CPU improvements can be chosen through the various packing and encoding routines.
When optimizing a mesh, you should typically feed it through a set of optimizations (the order is important!):
Most algorithms in this library assume that a mesh has a vertex buffer and an index buffer. For algorithms to work well and also for GPU to render your mesh efficiently, the vertex buffer has to have no redundant vertices; you can generate an index buffer from an unindexed vertex buffer or reindex an existing (potentially redundant) index buffer using generate_vertex_remap.
After generating the remap table, you can perform remapping with remap_index_buffer and remap_vertex_buffer.
You can then further optimize the resulting buffers by calling the other functions on them in-place.
When the GPU renders the mesh, it has to run the vertex shader for each vertex; usually GPUs have a built-in fixed size cache that stores the transformed vertices (the result of running the vertex shader), and uses this cache to reduce the number of vertex shader invocations. This cache is usually small, 16-32 vertices, and can have different replacement policies; to use this cache efficiently, you have to reorder your triangles to maximize the locality of reused vertex references; this reordering can be done with optimize_vertex_cache.
After transforming the vertices, GPU sends the triangles for rasterization which results in generating pixels that are usually first ran through the depth test, and pixels that pass it get the pixel shader executed to generate the final color. As pixel shaders get more expensive, it becomes more and more important to reduce overdraw. While in general improving overdraw requires view-dependent operations, this library provides an algorithm to reorder triangles to minimize the overdraw from all directions, which you should run after vertex cache optimization; the routine for this is optimize_overdraw.
When performing the overdraw optimization you have to specify a floating-point threshold parameter. The algorithm tries to maintain a balance between vertex cache efficiency and overdraw; the threshold determines how much the algorithm can compromise the vertex cache hit ratio, with 1.05 meaning that the resulting ratio should be at most 5% worse than before the optimization.
After the final triangle order has been established, we still can optimize the vertex buffer for memory efficiency. Before running the vertex shader GPU has to fetch the vertex attributes from the vertex buffer; the fetch is usually backed by a memory cache, and as such optimizing the data for the locality of memory access is important. You can do this by running this code:
This will reorder the vertices in the vertex buffer to try to improve the locality of reference, and rewrite the indices in place to match; if the vertex data is stored using multiple streams, you should use optimize_vertex_fetch_remap instead. This optimization has to be performed on the final index buffer since the optimal vertex order depends on the triangle order.
Note that the algorithm does not try to model cache replacement precisely and instead just orders vertices in the order of use, which generally produces results that are close to optimal.
To optimize memory bandwidth when fetching the vertex data even further, and to reduce the amount of memory required to store the mesh, it is often beneficial to quantize the vertex attributes to smaller types. While this optimization can technically run at any part of the pipeline (and sometimes doing quantization as the first step can improve indexing by merging almost identical vertices), it generally is easier to run this after all other optimizations since some of them require access to float3 positions.
Quantization is usually domain specific; it's common to quantize normals using 3 8-bit integers but you can use higher-precision quantization (for example using 10 bits per component in a 10_10_10_2 format), or a different encoding to use just 2 components. For positions and texture coordinate data the two most common storage formats are half precision floats, and 16-bit normalized integers that encode the position relative to the AABB of the mesh or the UV bounding rectangle.
The number of possible combinations here is very large but this library does provide the building blocks, specifically functions to quantize floating point values to normalized integers, as well as half-precision floats.
After all of the above optimizations, the geometry data is optimal for GPU to consume - however, you don't have to store the data as is. In case storage size or transmission bandwidth is of importance, you might want to compress vertex and index data. While several mesh compression libraries, like Google Draco, are available, they typically are designed to maximize the compression ratio at the cost of preserving the vertex/index order (which makes the meshes inefficient to render on GPU) or decompression performance. Additionally they frequently don't support custom game-ready quantized vertex formats and thus require to re-quantize the data after loading it, introducing extra quantization errors and making decoding slower.
Alternatively you can use general purpose compression libraries like zstd or Oodle to compress vertex/index data - however these compressors aren't designed to exploit redundancies in vertex/index data and as such compression rates can be unsatisfactory.
To that end, this library provides algorithms to "encode" vertex and index data. The result of the encoding is generally significantly smaller than initial data, and remains compressible with general purpose compressors - so you can either store encoded data directly (for modest compression ratios and maximum decoding performance), or further compress it with zstd et al, to maximize compression rate.
Note that vertex encoding assumes that vertex buffer was optimized for vertex fetch, and that vertices are quantized; index encoding assumes that the vertex/index buffers were optimized for vertex cache and vertex fetch. Feeding unoptimized data into the encoders will produce poor compression rates. Both codecs are lossless - the only lossy step is quantization that happens before encoding.
Decoding functions are heavily optimized and can directly target write-combined memory; you can expect both decoders to run at 1-2 GB/s on modern desktop CPUs. Compression ratios depend on the data; vertex data compression ratio is typically around 2-4x (compared to already quantized data), index data compression ratio is around 5-6x (compared to raw 16-bit index data). General purpose lossless compressors can further improve on these results.
On most hardware, indexed triangle lists are the most efficient way to drive the GPU. However, in some cases triangle strips might prove beneficial:
On extremely memory constrained systems, index buffers for triangle strips could save a bit of memory
This library provides the stripify routine for converting a vertex cache optimized triangle list to a triangle strip; the inverse can be performed with the unstripify routine.
Typically you should expect triangle strips to have ~50-60% of indices compared to triangle lists (~1.5-1.8 indices per triangle) and have ~5% worse ACMR. Note that triangle strips require restart index support for rendering; using degenerate triangles to connect strips is not supported.
While the only way to get precise performance data is to measure performance on the target GPU, it can be valuable to measure the impact of these optimization in a GPU-independent manner. To this end, the library provides analyzers for all three major optimization routines. For each optimization there is a corresponding analyze function, like analyze_overdraw, that returns a struct with statistics.
analyze_vertex_cache returns vertex cache statistics. The common metric to use is ACMR - average cache miss ratio, which is the ratio of the total number of vertex invocations to the triangle count. The worst-case ACMR is 3 (GPU has to process 3 vertices for each triangle); on regular grids the optimal ACMR approaches 0.5. On real meshes it usually is in [0.5..1.5] range depending on the amount of vertex splits. One other useful metric is ATVR - average transformed vertex ratio - which represents the ratio of vertex shader invocations to the total vertices, and has the best case of 1.0 regardless of mesh topology (each vertex is transformed once).
analyze_vertex_fetch returns vertex fetch statistics. The main metric it uses is overfetch - the ratio between the number of bytes read from the vertex buffer to the total number of bytes in the vertex buffer. Assuming non-redundant vertex buffers, the best case is 1.0 - each byte is fetched once.
analyze_overdraw returns overdraw statistics. The main metric it uses is overdraw - the ratio between the number of pixel shader invocations to the total number of covered pixels, as measured from several different orthographic cameras. The best case for overdraw is 1.0 - each pixel is shaded once.
Note that all analyzers use approximate models for the relevant GPU units, so the numbers you will get as the result are only a rough approximation of the actual performance.

Position: Marketing Automation Manager at Zerto. Mark’s job combines marketing expertise with technical skills. He crafts most early messages to customers, writes marketing and communication plans for his mid-size company, and at the same time is an expert user/administrator of the specialized software Salesforce and Marketo.
Overview: Around halfway through Berklee, Mark realized that while he was good at music, he wasn’t “top dog,” and felt his prospects for a prosperous music career were shaky, so he started to think about what would be a good “day job.” Around this time he got a student-job at the Berklee Admissions Office’s mailroom. Several months after graduation, his former boss left (to go play music) and Mark–who had been in touch with the head of operations in that office, was offered his former boss’s job. Mark worked there for 6 years, receiving two promotions and developing expertise with the Salesforce software which the admissions office was using–including writing scripts to accomplish what the standard software could not.
During his fourth through sixth year working at Berklee, Mark worked on his MBA in Marketing from Boston University, as he figured he would be better paid for more challenging, but still creative, work. It became clear as he was finishing his MBA that there wasn’t room at Berklee to move up in his career, so Mark looked online for positions. He got a similar position to his current job a dining management company, but decided after 1.5 years that he’d rather be somewhere else. He put his resume online, a recruiter reached out to him. “Within two weeks, I had three job offers. They all paid the same, so I chose the place I would enjoy working at the most, which was Zerto.” Zerto has more than doubled in size since Mark arrived, and he recently hired his first underling to handle more of the day-to-days tasks while he focuses on the higher-level stuff.
Choice Quotes: “One positive about my job is because I’m so close to the data and see how everything works, I get my hands on a lot of different projects. That means I’m a lot more experienced than just an programs manager or a sales admin. I have to cross that line and be an expert at all things.”
“I like making things work. Everyone comes to me with requirements, and I have to think outside the box to make it happen as efficiently as possible. It’s like being the part of the band that gives the whole band their momentum, or books the gigs–I make it possible for the band the play. I take a lot of pride in doing that, and doing that well.”
“Even if you want to be a musician full time, think about how to support yourself. If you have a good day job with a retirement, you’ll have a more solid foundation to support yourself. A lot of folks say you have to fully commit or you won’t make it, and it’s not true. Look at the guy who left that job I took–he had a day job, then at age 35 he went off to tour with Avril Lavigne and has been doing great music ever since.”
“The Berklee education has helped me stand out. I meet folks who play(ed) instruments and we instantly bond. Pretty sure that helped me get accepted into B.U.”
Mark as a Berklee student, with Bruce Springsteen’s drummer/Conan O’Brien’s house band lead Max Weinberg. “The biggest thing I got out of Berklee was the habit and ability to self-analyze and figure out how to improve. Even if I played a piece well, professors encouraged me to figure out exactly how did I play it well, so that I’d know what to do in the future”
“The whole exercise of sitting in a practice room for 6 hours until you get a piece 100% right–that methodology is huge in terms of applications to business.”
Mark enjoys auto-racing in his spare time. (One reason he wanted a well-paying day job.) Though that’s a very competitive sport, Mark cautions folks “Don’t compare yourself to others too much–you’ll either fall into panic, or you won’t set the bar high enough relative to what you could reach. Always do the very best that YOU can. ”
Mark with his wife. “You won’t be the best in day 1 of your job, but keep applying yourself and you can get there. It’s nice to feel like you’ve made it. Next year I’ll be 31 and will be in the place I always wanted in life.”

15,167,695 | Midshipmen studying Ocean Engineering traveled to the University of Delaware as part of a course taught by CDR Janice Rice, EN286 - Ocean Measurement and Analysis. The midshipmen got underway on the R/V Hugh R. Sharp, a state-of-the-art coastal research vessel that operates as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). [insert link to the website about the vessel] The vessel traveled to Red Bird Reef, an artificial reef created by sunken military vehicles, subway cars, and two steel-hulled ships. The reef enhances marine biodiversity and productivity, supporting over 10,000 angler trips annually.
The class deployed an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a marine biosampler to conduct measurements of the ocean environment. Students also conducted multi-beam bottom mapping of the ocean floor, as well as analyzed CTD (Conductivity, Temperature, and Depth) probes about the physical properties of the sea water. Perhaps most beneficially, midshipmen conversed with post-doctoral students, gaining an appreciation for the challenges with designing an ocean measurement system.
No matter what the future surface force might look like, the Navy first needs to invest in educating its people. The best place to start is a Naval Surface and Expeditionary Warfare Command.
The budget charts on which we try to plot the future force structure of the surface Navy are all stamped “Dangerous Ground.” We simply do not know what its size will be in the coming years. Regardless of the force structure we have, we must be able to skillfully fight our ships to meet our Title X obligation to be prepared to conduct prompt and sustained combat operations at sea. Indeed, we can expect the demand for naval forces to continue unabated, regardless of that structure, so it is more important than ever that the officers and crews of our ships be the best trained, most tactically proficient in the world. Put another way, the best place to invest is in our people.

22,342,805 | I wrote Dad a little story but let me see, Well the other day we where visiting a family and I noticed that there is a large family that lives behind them. So we went and left a blessing there. My comp left the blessing and during the blessing all the kids were running around and stuff but after I just looked up and testified. They all accepted to receive us back. It was really 3 families so that was pretty cool. You could tell that they had felt something.
Man McDs pays 7 buck an hour? Mexicans that lay pavers make $10. I’m gonna do pavers when I get back. JK that’s great that Tyler, Jessie, and Jamie got to finish the work and everything and that they had a good time. How long did it take? (Tyler, Jessie, and Jamie helped G-ma lay pavers the other day.)
Ya, there is a lot to learn still! I’m glad to hear that you’re getting some studing in. The mish is going great (só falta ums 28 dias ) ;) No, I’m not trunky! The other day my comp and I left a blessing in the home of
this lady and when he finished you could see it in her eye that she had felt the spirit. She is a strong member in her church. Her look was almost like Wow, what was that! Love you Dad!
So I'm back in São Bento and well everyone is super happy to have me back. It's really cool. Sorry, I didn't write Monday but it was conference so I was in Joinville and I got to see a few people that I knew from there, Frenando and Faby. Conference was super cool. Elder Costa's favorite food is lasagna.
So for my last transfer, I wont be a zone leader. The new prez is coming soon and they wanna train the zone leader that will be here when he gets here... and guess what, that's not me, hurray! I'll be going home like 2 months before the new prez gets here. So this last transfer I will "só fica na boa." Prez is sending me back to Sao Bento Do Sul to die and giving me another kid to train, Elder Costa. I don't know where he is from or anything but for sure he is Brazilian, also cool (American greenies São CHATOS!!!)
I love the mission. I'm a little sad that its all ending but at the very same moment. I'm happy "ate o pó" that its all ending and I get to see all my family and friends and movies and music and girls and not being in charge of everything and getting to travel and work and get married and reap the blessing of these 2 years and serve the
Lord in other callings and to eat American food and have carpet in my house and to walk barefoot in the grass and in my house and in the shower and see my Mommy and eat Mexican food and not live where its humid and not have my clothes get moldy and have new clothes and go to the lake and go snowboarding and last but definitely, not least, have a DRYER! Man, do I miss having a dryer.
The Tribunal Temple, commonly referred to simply as The Temple,[1] is dedicated to the worship of the three god-kings of Morrowind known as the Tribunal. The Tribunal is composed of the goddess Almalexia, the god-poet Vivec, and Sotha Sil. The three gained their divine power through their use of Kagrenac's tools upon the Heart of Lorkhan, ultimately becoming the patron gods of the Dunmer people. It was the dominant religion in the province of Morrowind, until after the events of the game Morrowind, where it was superseded by the New Temple.
According to the temple The three Daedra that recognized the divinity of the Tribunal were Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala. These three Daedra are known as the "Anticipations" because they share the same aspects and spheres as each member of the Tribunal. Each Daedra is an anticipation for each of the Tribune; Azura is the anticipation of Sotha Sil, Boethiah is the anticipation of Almalexia, and Mephala is the anticipation of Vivec.[2]
The Tribunal Temple worships the three living gods: Almalexia, Sotha Sil, and Vivec, also known as the ALMSIVI.[3] Each god was a patron of different things for Dunmer people. Almalexia was a patron of teachers and healers,[4] Vivec was a patron of artists and rogues,[5] and Sotha Sil was a patron of artificers and wizards.[6] According to Temple doctrine the three tribunes gained their divine power through superhuman discipline and virtue, and supernatural wisdom and insight.[7] Some Tribunal Temple cities are Necrom,[8] Almalexia, Clockwork City, Mournhold, and Vivec City. The Tribunal saved the Dunmer from numerous disasters, such as when Baar Dau was flung from the sky by Sheogorath[9] and was stopped by Vivec from landing on Vivec City or when Almalexia and Sotha Sil banished Mehrunes Dagon back to Oblivion after he destroyed Mournhold.[10] By doing these things, the Tribunal eventually gained the trust of the Dunmer people.
The upkeep of family tombs is often discouraged by the temple as most deceased Dunmer are either taken to the necropolis of Necrom or to the Great Ghostfence to maintain the structure. Many dead temple warriors and great house members are taken from battlefields to the ghostfence for this purpose.[11] Still, old family tombs have temple shrines and frescoes depicting the Tribunal and the temple saints.[12]
According to the temple the four Daedra that rebelled against the divinity of the Tribunal were Malacath, Mehrunes Dagon, Molag Bal, and Sheogorath. They are considered holy as they test the Dunmer people for weaknesses but are considered enemies to the people. Malacath tests the Dunmer for physical weaknesses, Molag Bal tries to upset the bloodlines of the houses and tries to weaken the Dunmer gene pool, Sheogorath tests the people for mental weaknesses, and Mehrunes Dagon tests the Dunmer will to survive and persevere. The worship of these Daedra is forbidden by the temple and often Imperial soldiers and Ordinators will hunt down anyone who worships them.[13]
As the protectors of the Dunmer people, the Tribunal have faced and defeated many dangers to protect their people.
In the Koal Cave Vivec fought an incarnation of the Daedric Prince Molag Bal known as the Ruddy Man.[9] In the fight between Vivec and the Ruddy Man, Vivec defeated him but spared him. With the exception that the Dunmer people were given his permission to use the hides of the Ruddy Man's worshipers, the Dreugh, to make armor. The battle was said to be so great that it was said to have created the West Gash.[14] The Ruddy Man then attacked outside the city of Tear. It was there that Vivec fought and defeated him again.[14]
At the city of Maar Gan, Vivec fought Mehrunes Dagon after he tried to attack the citizens of the city. Mehrunes tried to throw a giant rock at the city, but Vivec taunted him so that he would throw the rock at him instead. Where this rock fell, the people of Maar Gan built a shrine to the Tribunal.[15] It is said that during this battle, Vivec gave his silver sword to Lord Dagon, as he thought it would be dishonorable to fight an unarmed enemy.[9]
Sometime around the beginning of the Tribunal's godhood. The Daedric Prince Sheogorath rebelled against the Tribunal for mocking the Daedra and sent the large meteor, Baar Dau, to destroy the then-new city of Vivec.[9] After seeing the meteor, Vivec just raised his hand and the moonlet froze above the city. Vivec decided to keep it above his city to show that faith should be kept in the Tribunal as it was faith that kept Baar Dau afloat.[16]
When the Daedric Prince Mehrunes Dagon massacred the populace of Mournhold, Almalexia and Sotha Sil, with their combined god-like powers, managed to banish the prince back to Oblivion.[17] In the aftermath of this event Almalexia decided to stay in Mournhold[10], there, a large statue was erected in the city to commemorate Almalexia's part in the battle.[18]
The assassination of the last members of the Reman Dynasty and their Tsaesci advisors who took over the reins of power after their deaths, Versidue-Shaie and Savirien-Chorak, brought the Reman Empire's reign over the continent of Tamriel to an end. For many more centuries, Morrowind managed to rebuild from its defeat in the Four Score War under the three Tribunes and the rest of the Tribunal Temple's guidance. However, this new peace and prosperity was interrupted by an invasion by the Kamal, a race that inhabited the continent of Akavir and were known as the Snow Demons of Kamal, led by their king and general Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal. The Kamal forces managed to initially defeat the Dunmer forces under the command of the Tribunal, and they advanced southwards through the province of Vvardenfell, a large island in the heart of Morrowind separated by the Inner Sea, and assaulted Vivec City, Vivec's seat of power. Under the guidance of Almalexia and Vivec, the Dunmer inhabitants of Vivec City were taught how to breathe under water. Then, the Tribunal struck a devastating blow to the Kamal forces by flooding the land around Vivec City, drowning the majority of their forces under the water. However, it did not stop the Kamal army, they went further, and began assaulting Morrowind's mainland.
Desperate to stop the Kamal invasion, Almalexia secretly traveled back into Vvardenfell, now a Kamal-occupied territory, and went to the Red Mountain, the ancient site where the defeat of the Dwemer during the War of the First Council, took place during the First Era. In the ruins of the ancient Dwemer fortress, she found the sleeping form of The Underking, Ysmir Wulfharth, and awakened him. She summoned him to assist the Dunmer in their battle against the Kamal and their leader, the Akaviri Demon, Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal. The combined power of the Tribunal Temple, Almalexia, Vivec, a Nordic army, a group of Argonian shellbacks, the Dunmer forces and Ysmir Wulfharth, the Underking, managed to overwhelm the remaining Kamal forces, slew Ada'Soom Dir-Kamal, and drove the Kamal from Morrowind.[19][20][21]
The Dissident Priests are a sect that dispute the Tribunal's claims of achieving godhood and the temple's doctrines. As such, they are persecuted and have been driven into hiding due to the fact that they view the Ashlander prophecy of the Nerevarine as a subject that is worth learning.[22] They also believe that the temple's behavior against the Nerevarine is unjust, as said in Progress of Truth.[23] The Temple does not believe in the reincarnation of Nerevar; as such the Ordinators deal mercilessly with those that claim to be the Nerevarine and often hunt, imprison or kill them.[24]
Dagoth Ur the, seemingly, immortal enemy of the Tribunal responsible for the Blight and Corprus curse that plagued Vvardenfell for many years.[25] The fall of Ur coincided with the fall of the Tribunal gods [26]
After the disappearance of Almalexia, Sotha Sil and Vivec, the Oblivion Crisis and the Red Year, the Dunmer people went through a period of soul searching and reorganization, which made them return to the old worship of the old Daedra — Azura, Boethiah, and Mephala.[3] This new religion would be called the New Temple, and would rename the former Tribunal as saints and heroes while naming the three princes as the "True Tribunal."[27]
House Indoril members are supporters of the Temple, many of the priests and worshipers in the Temple are members of the House Indoril. Due to the fact that the Temple acts like a civil government, House Indoril and their sub-clans dominate the power base and membership of the Temple.[28] Indoril Nerevar and his wife Almalexia are both members of this house and, as such, the members of Indoril are staunch supporters of the Tribunal. And the Ordinators are all soldiers of the house.[29]
As House Indoril is a staunch defender of the faith and the Tribunal Temple, its Ordinators are tasked with enforcing the laws of the Tribunal.[30]
There are many temples across Vvardenfell, found in large towns and cities. These temples are often the return place of Almsivi Intervention spells,[31] and have shrines dedicated to the Temple Saints.
Inside temples, shrines can be found. All shrines can be used to Cure Diseases, Cure Blight or Cure Poison. They also, all have a unique effect:
Shrine of St. Aralor — If activated, it will confer 'Aralor's Intervention' which temporarily increases Personality by 5 points.
Shrine of St. Delyn — If activated, it will confer 'Shield of St. Delyn' which temporarily increases Resist Blight Disease by 10%.
Shrine of St. Felms — If activated, it will confer 'Felms' Glory' which temporarily increases Restoration by 5 points.
Shrine of St. Llothis — If activated, it will confer 'The Rock of Llothis' which temporarily fortifies Willpower by 5 points.
Shrine of St. Meris — If activated, it will confer 'Meris' Warding' which temporarily increase Resist Corprus Disease by 20%.
Shrine of St. Nerevar — If activated, it will confer 'Spirit of Nerevar' which temporarily fortifies Fatigue by 20 points.

The military of the tribunal Temple consists of the highly trained group of soldiers called the Ordinators, serve as guard to various Tribnal Temples, and the whole of Vivec City. There are four orders of the Ordinators: the Order of the Watch, the Order of War, the Order of the Inquisition, and the Order of Doctrine and Ordination. The Order of the Watch are guards for temples and shrines. The Order of War fights the enemies of the Temple; most War Ordinators are stationed near Red Mountain on Vvardenfell to combat and maintain the protection of the Ghostfence. The Order of Doctrine and Ordination are military scholars. The Order of the Inquisition identifies and suppresses heresy among priests and worshipers. The head Ordinator on the island of Vvardenfell is Berel Sala. All four orders obey the rules of the Alma Rula.[32] In the city of Mournhold, the High Ordinators guard the capital. High Ordinators are chosen from the strongest most skilled fighters in the Temple and are led by Fedris Hler.[33] The most strong and loyal of the High Ordinators are chosen to be the personal bodyguards of Almalexia herself. They are called the Hands of Almalexia and are bestowed weapons and armors that are imbued with divine enchantments. They are said to be the most dangerous mortal warriors in the Tamriel.[34] The Dissident Priests revealed that the Ordinators use terror tactics, abduction, torture, and secret imprisonment to dispel heresy and descent in the temple.[23] Another military order of the temple is the Buoyant Armigers who keep the blight from spreading out of Red Mountain, to which they have had very little success at.[35] They are led by Galdal Omayn and serve Vivec exclusively.[36]
The Temple names certain people as Saints for doing great deeds. There is a large number of major and minor saints, each with their own sphere of influence:
The Temple has many books that detail the lives of the three Tribunes, books about how to worship them, children's books, and tales of the temples saints:

168,873,310 | The Oracle vs. HP litigation keeps kicking up interesting tidbits and it increasingly seems like Oracle's position is unsustainable. From the outside and from the start it looked like Oracle was the cause of the breakup but is trying to maintain a very convoluted fiction so it can blame HP. (By the way, this isn't the only juicy legal action we are covering this week. Check out Don Tennant's coverage of the Infosys insanity).
The latest bit of amazing legal chicanery has Oracle arguing that when it agreed to continue to support HP as it had before it hired Hurd and then announced it wouldn't, it didn't really mean that because this somehow constituted a porting agreement, which would require more attorneys to work out.
I've seen folks argue that at the core of this is a $4 billion paragraph, but I actually think the number and impact is understated. I think at the core of this are the huge companies these two companies shared and the realization that only one of these companies is likely to keep them as customers. In effect, in a divorce, these are the kids.
I think the kids should have a vote; unlike children, they are actually paying the bills and taking all of the risks and so I think it is time to look underneath all of this and again at why Oracle, run by an aging CEO, increasingly scares the hell out of me.
Like a lot of marriages, the HP-Oracle marriage looked pretty solid before the breakup. Both companies had aligned to compete with IBM, which collectively had software and hardware products that matched these firms' individual resources. Oracle had the reputation of being more aggressive in sales and in marketing, HP more nurturing - and, well, I'll get into trouble if I continue that analogy. I can feel my wife getting ready to whop me on the head.
HP and Oracle had a tight relationship and they had children from it: the 400 or so very large customers who bought their shared solution. Both were somewhat free to see others - this wasn't a merger after all - but it was far more than a casual partnership as there were formal agreements binding the firms together.
The divorce was triggered by Oracle effectively marrying a once-attractive, but now down-on-its-luck company called Sun with the hope of becoming IBM and establishing stronger customer lock-in. Oracle didn't want the kids to have wandering eyes and evidently the current relationship with HP just wasn't enough. HP subsequently fired its CEO for cause (the cause being he tried to cover up some part of an alleged attempt at an affair with a subordinate that HP funded illicitly).
Oracle (really Larry Ellison because they are one in the same) pulled the plug, and this is where it gets even weirder. Ellison claimed the cause is that Itanium will soon be discontinued. This would kind of be like a guy breaking up with a live-in girlfriend he'd had kids with after getting married to someone else because he'd heard his girlfriend might toss her favorite nightgown.
Think about it, these relationships on this class of system go on for years, often decades, after a technology becomes obsolete. Even if true, it wouldn't be grounds to discontinue it. And, as it turned out, it wasn't true and they knew it.
Sun was a train wreck. Even Oracle insiders said the hardware sucked - no that wasn't it, was crap ... nope that wasn't it either, smelled ... getting closer, oh yes, that's it, it blows, er, baaaallllooooooows. God, I love discovery. Pretty clear from these disclosed emails and texts that the rank and file at Oracle are no more fond of Mark Hurd than the rank and file of HP were.
Now in this story Mark Hurd is the dog, but a poorly behaved one because HP doesn't want him because he doesn't behave. On the other hand, HP doesn't want Oracle to have him because it is afraid Oracle will push Hurd back through the dog door and he'll make a mess. So Ann Livermore and Safra Catz sit down and agree that if HP lets Oracle have Hurd, Oracle will restore child support for their shared customers/children. It is clear from the disclosures that HP is trying to make sure its shared customers aren't disrupted and Oracle is focused on getting a dog, er, Hurd.
So the current drama is this: After the agreement was signed, Hurd went to Oracle, and then Oracle stopped support anyway, now claiming the agreement is invalid because it is basically a porting agreement and what they signed wasn't that.
Now, this is like that husband and wife agreeing to exchange the dog for child support and the husband not paying, claiming that this type of relationship was more like a corporation, which shared assets that would have required actually forming a corporation, so the agreement is void. This argument seems borderline insane.
Larry must really think we are all idiots; you have to wonder where he comes up with these strategies. Er, well maybe you don't. Oracle has a smart legal team; they clearly aren't driving this strategy any more than they were driving the failed one at Google.
Through this process you are getting a rare, deep look into two large companies that are positioning themselves to serve businesses like yours. Both firms have capable, talented people and both companies have both good and bad products. However, this fight exposes the heart of each firm, whether they are mostly focused on protecting you or seeking advantage at your cost.
Virtually everything that I've seen disclosed so far showcases HP as a company at least trying to do the right thing and its problems are the result of not being equipped to deal with the kinds of internal problems it's been having. I'm really not sure there are any companies that really are, but that does need to be fixed.
On the Oracle side, I can't even find where customers were considered. For instance, if you wanted to truly build Sun into a solution that would benefit customers you'd have hired a builder/turnaround expert like Michael Capellas or a well-rounded technology executive like Pat Gelsinger. You wouldn't hire a guy who is famous for making a firm look good while gutting it.
Sometimes choices are hard, but you still have to make them. Don't take my word for this; just watch the testimony and discovery from this trial and you'll likely conclude that while HP was clearly backstabbed, the Oracle customer was the victim. It stops being funny when the crazy guy starts hurting you.
There is no doubt that security has gained increasing importance for businesses around the globe. As your NAS will be storing confidential company data, consider the use of SSL to protect the Web management interface a bare minimum. Support of protocols such as ssh for encryption of rsync data transfers would be excellent as well.
Shipping container tiny houses have become very popular over the past couple of years, and personally I love them. They have a modern, minimalist look to them courtesy of their original utilitarian purpose, and they are fairly easy to convert into livable spaces.
It is always cool to see a different spin on the basic concept of the container home though, and this house for sale close to Punta Uva, Limon certainly qualifies.
Most container houses I have seen consist of a single shipping container converted into a home, but this one has multiple containers linked together and set up to create a two-story residence. What a smart idea! Because shipping containers feature flat roofs, this makes it easy to convert them into decks. You can also see how the layout cleverly creates a sheltered driveway.
The bathroom here gets serious points for style! With a wide open design, a large bathtub, a simple but beautiful sink, and a gorgeous back wall, it is a work of art all by itself.
Sitting out on this patio and enjoying the sunlight and the breeze rustling through the leaves would be such a lovely experience.
The same design elements which you saw in the bathroom are repeated in the living room. According to the description for the home, it is a project of Bio Caribe, a company which promotes itself on its website as, “Costa Rica’s First Sustainable Caribbean Real Estate.”
On the website, there are some references to the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright. Wright has had a tremendous influence on tiny house design altogether, but I can particularly see it in this living room. The layout and the open flow of space are particularly reminiscent of the layouts typical of his houses.
Now here is what I wanted to see most—what it is like up on the deck! Yep, this house, like its surroundings, is most definitely a bit of paradise. I wish I could climb into that hammock right now and idle away the hours.
It looks like there is some turf installed up on one of the roofs—I’m not sure if it is real or artificial. Either way, it is a clever idea, especially if one has children (though I wouldn’t necessarily let younger kids up on this roof with such a flimsy railing).
Want to move to Costa Rica and live in this beautiful off-the-grid tiny container home? You can get in contact with seller Edsart on Tiny House Marketplace on Facebook. I also recommend dropping by Bio Caribe and taking a look at some of their other homes (sound warning if you’re at work—the page plays music). |

He currently serves as chairman of Covenant Capital in Charlotte, North Carolina and serves on the board of directors of Coca-Cola Bottling Consolidated and the board of directors of Lowe’s Home Improvement. In addition, Morgan is beginning his first term as the newest member of the CIU Board of Trustees. He has also served as chairman and CEO of Wachovia Securities and chairman and CEO of the securities firm Interstate/Johnson Lane, Inc. Before going into business, Morgan was a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy.
Morgan will be on hand as CIU’s Business & Organizational Leadership academic program gets a big boost with the opening of the John R. Cook Jr. Business and Entrepreneurship Center. The Center was made possible through a generous donation by CIU Trustee Lynn Cook in honor of her husband and his contributions to his family and business, Cook’s Pest Control of Decatur, Alabama.
The Center features “Launch,” a cutting-edge resource facility offering students vocational training beyond the classroom as they collaborate with local businesses and ministries on projects that will benefit both the organizations and the students. In addition, Launch will house an on-campus business incubator, a video-equipped interview skills training room, conference rooms for seminars and workshops, and internship and job placement opportunities.
“We’re excited to bring Columbia area businesses and entrepreneurs to CIU,” said Dr. Scott Adams, director of CIU’s Business & Organizational Leadership program. “It’s our hope to assist the business community in their success, as together we make the Midlands of South Carolina a center for strong commerce.”
Morgan will first speak to the student body during an 11 a.m. Chapel service in Shortess Chapel, followed by the noon ribbon cutting ceremony at the John R. Cook Jr. Business and Entrepreneurship Center located at rear of the campus. |

62,264,623 | WARNING: Uninstalling this mod partway through a game may cause the program to crash. This MAY have been fixed by the recent v1.2.0.352 patch, but be careful all the same.
ADDITIONAL WARNING: Do not use the ''Master Update'' function in FNVEdit with this mod. This will prevent this mod from working (for reasons unknown).
The base mod update fixes some issues with textures on a few of the restored weapons, and upgrades the Dragoon Assault Rifle a bit.
This is a mod (one of a growing number) which restores a large number of weapons which did not make it from Fallout 3 (and its DLC) to Fallout: New Vegas. The resources for all of these weapons were included in the game files of Fallout: New Vegas, but (for the most part) were not used. I'm not a big fan of anything with unrealized potential, so I was rather interested in getting these weapons back into the game.
All weapons have been fully integrated into New Vegas, including the appropriate Form Lists and Leveled Item Lists. What this means is that NPCs who do not have fixed, non-random inventories may carry one of these newly restored weapons. It also means that many of these weapons work with New Vegas perks such as Cowboy or The Professional. Some weapons are also classified as Holdout Weapons, meaning they can be brought into casinos unnoticed.
This mod does NOT stop with just the standard collection of Fallout 3 weapons: it also brings back weapons from Fallout 3 DLC packs, as well as CRAFTED weapons such as the Railway Rifle or Nuka-Grenades. For the latter, the schematics for these weapons have been brought back as well.
This mod is a continuation of another mod started by Wreckless1. Due to real life concerns he was forced to drop out of actively developing his version of the mod, and was classy enough to give anybody who was willing permission to use what he'd done as a starting point. A lot of thanks go to him. His original project can be found here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=35937
Additional thanks go to Lord Darius13, who has provided the edited weapon meshes which provide proper iron sights as well as the modified texture for the Lever-Action Rifle. In particular, he actually listened when a certain someone posted something mentioning how awesome the Lever-Action Rifle was, and how much of a shame it was that the texture wasn't in New Vegas' resources. His models come from this mod: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=36571
And another bit of thanks goes to antistar (of WMX fame), who provided me with updated meshes to use for cross-compatibility with his Weapon Mods Expanded mod. He also let me use two additional iron sight-corrected meshes as part of this mod. If you would like to check out Weapon Mods Expanded (and I highly suggest you do) you can find it here: http://www.newvegasnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=39651
All of these weapons (and ammo and schematics) use the SAME FORMID as their Fallout 3 versions. Yes, that's right, the EXACT SAME FormID, WITHOUT A MOD PREFIX. That means to give yourself a Chinese Assault Rifle you type ''player.additem 80b 1''.
For weapons which originally came from Fallout 3 DLC, the FormIDs are the same but use the same prefix (since the DLC versions used a prefix). For example, if you want to give yourself an Alien Atomizer (and this mod loads second in your load order) you would type ''player.additem 0100083f 1'' into the console. Anchorage-specific versions use the ''Wasteland'' FormID, if there was one, and the ''Sim'' FormID otherwise.
Why did I go out of my way to do this? Two reasons: so you can look items up on the Fallout Wiki using Steam's in-game web browser, and because I could. Not sure which was the larger motivation.
This varies from weapon to weapon, but in general its one of three things: missing resources, balancing for the new DT system, or common-sense changes. For full explanations you can check the ''WEAPON CHANGES FROM FALLOUT 3'' section, located below.
I tried to put everything necessary for this mod into a single BSA file, but New Vegas doesn't like to override existing meshes which are part of a BSA file. This is a problem for using the new, iron sight-corrected models for Fallout 3 weapons. Because of this, the updated meshes are stored separately.
Most of you are probably using FOMM, so this won't be much of an issue if you decide to uninstall the mod. Those of you who aren't shouldn't worry too much: these meshes were updated in order to fix problems with the originals, and leaving them installed can only make things BETTER, not worse.
I won't be adding mod capability to these weapons as part of the BASE mod. However, I HAVE provided a compatibility patch for use with the Weapon Mods Expanded mod, which enables modification of these weapons.
Probably not. I explain this in better detail down in the ''WEAPONS THAT *ARE NOT* IN THIS MOD'' section, but the short version is that the Fallout 3 unique weapons were mostly just identical-in-appearance weapons with tweaked stats which were very specific to certain areas or plot points. I don't want to clutter the Mojave Wasteland with samey ''uniques'' that were kludged into the game.
Still, I do have a certain fondness for some of the uniques from Fallout 3, and for a few I've tried to make my uniques close to them in functionality (e.g. the Dragoon Assault Rifle has a damage boost like the Xuanlong Assault Rifle from Fallout 3). The other thing I've done is made it possible to modify certain weapons to be similar (stat-wise) to their unique counterparts, provided you have Weapon Mods Expanded installed.
Because of the transition from a Damage Reduction-based system to a Damage Threshold-based system, average weapon damaged increased in New Vegas. You can see this comparing the few weapons which were in both games, e.g. the Minigun, Gauss Rifle, etc.
A few weapons do not have increased damage: the Dart Gun, Lincoln's Repeater/Replica Repeater, the Microwave Emitter, and Nuka-Grenades. The Dart Gun isn't really about damage so much as the special effects it causes, and the rest of the weapons DO NOT need to do any more damage considering how powerful they are already.
To get this out of the way quickly, there is no .32 caliber ammunition in Fallout: New Vegas, and I'm not inclined to add some just for a single, lousy gun, and particularly a low-quality one at that. .357 seemed an appropriate adaptation.
Now because of the above, it's not really fitting to call the gun the .32 Pistol. Based on the new caliber it could be called the .357 Pistol, except that it isn't a pistol, it's a revolver... and there's already a .357 Magnum Revolver in the game. Instead I looked to what the gun was: a cheap, low-power weapon used primarily by criminals (in this case, various gangs and thugs). That is, almost to a T, the description of a Saturday Night Special.
New Vegas has not one but TWO automatic melee weapons with a weight of 20 and a damage rating of 100. I could have made the Auto Axe the third, but then what would be the point of having it? Instead I figured I'd make it not-exactly-better-not-exactly-worse by giving it lower damage, but making it ignore DT.
The tell-tale firing sound of the Chinese Assault Rifle didn't make it from Fallout 3 to Fallout New Vegas, much to my dismay. I'm sure that, like me, for a lot of you that sound was music to your ears, calming and soothing in a way you can't quite define. Okay, maybe you can define it, specifically ''all those things I hate will die now.'' Either way, the resources aren't there, so there's nothing to be done other than use a different firing noise. In this case the weapon now uses the same firing noise as the Assault Carbine.
Two reasons. First, the Chinese Pistol (and the unique variant, Dragoon Pistol) is based on the real-world Mauser C96 pistol (the model for the Chinese Pistol is even named "Mauser"). Mausers came in a variety of calibers, including knock-off variants made by various countries, like China. Of those calibers, 9mm is one of them, and 10mm (or anything close to it) is not.
Second, the Chinese Pistol was the "crappy" pistol using low-power ammunition in Fallout 3, and I felt that should be the same in New Vegas. Since 10mm isn't exactly low-power ammo anymore, I felt it would fit better using 9mm.
To be fair, in Fallout 3 shotgun shells didn't have a gauge specified, but most people seemed to assume it was 12 gauge (that being the case in past Fallout games). The problem is that there's already a Combat Shotgun-esque weapon: the Riot Shotgun. Since that weapon is 12 gauge, it makes sense for the Combat Shotgun to be 20.
The shape for Dart ammunition is something that didn't make it into New Vegas from Fallout 3. Initially I used the projectile shape, which IS in the game, but as it turns out that doesn't have any physical boundaries specified, meaning if you drop the ammo you can't pick it up. The ammunition now uses the smaller shape used for weapon mods, which should at least be easily recognized among the various other clutter.
In Fallout 3 the Deathclaw Gauntlet is crafted from four ingredients which have a combined weight of 5, and yet the weapon itself has a weight of 10. This is something that always drove me NUTS, mostly because it was so damn illogical. Since I'm in a position that I can change that, I went ahead and did it.
I specically mention the increased damage for this weapon because this is one of the few weapons I didn't have to re-add to the game: it was already present in Fallout: New Vegas, just not used or placed anywhere. Its damage was completely unchanged from Fallout 3 and thus needed to be rebalanced, especially since the already-present Mantis Gauntlet was more powerful with the same armor-piercing effect. What would be the point of hunting Deathclaws for their hands if you can just make something better from body parts found on garden-variety (pun intended) Giant Mantises?
Textures for the Lever-Action Rifle were not included in New Vegas, which meant the weapon had to be re-created using a third-party texture, graciously provided by Lord Darius13. (The shape, if you don't already know, is just that of Lincoln's Repeater.) I might not have bothered, but the Lever-Action Rifle (and the Backwater Rifle) was one of the high points of the Point Lookout DLC for me. I felt it was something worth bringing to this mod, new texture or no.
The way I figure it, there is only one REAL Lincoln's Repeater. That version was last seen in the Capital Wasteland as recently as four years before the events of New Vegas; it would make little sense to assume that weapon had somehow made its way across an entire continent in that time. However, it's not out of the question for REPLICAS of Lincoln's famous Henry Rifle to have been made and sold to various collectors before the war, for example to the paranoid brother of a well-known self-made business magnate.
The Mesmetron's firing noise is missing, which is used by the Microwave Emitter. It was difficult to find a noise, any noise, which had the necessary delay to work with the weapon, and even what I found isn't QUITE right, but it's better than nothing.
The second change is mostly cosmetic: rather than a critical hit kill turning the body into an ash pile, the Microwave Emitter will now cause it to explode in a violent burst of heat and flame, similar to what happens when you try to microwave a hot dog without poking holes in it first. I did this because 1) it's a bit more fitting with the theme of the weapon, and 2) too many damn weapons turn things into ash piles. And yes, you can still loot the body after it has exploded.
First off, there is no Nuka-Cola Quantum in normal Fallout: New Vegas, so that meant changing the recipe to use something else. Nuka-Cola Victory is used in quite a few recipes, but Quartz, not so much, so the recipe now calls for a bottle of Nuka-Cola Quartz. On top of that, I never liked the concept that you can somehow make two or three Nuka-Grenades using only one Tin Can, especially when each one is clearly made out of a whole can. The recipe you acquire allows you to make two Nuka-Grenades with each set of ingredients, so now the ingredients call for two Tin Cans instead of one.
Also, Nuka-Grenades would seem to fit the description of items which are covered by both the Pyromaniac and Demolitions Expert perk, and yet in Fallout 3 they weren't. I understand why they weren't (owing to the huge damage they do), but I don't exactly approve of it. Therefore, Nuka-Grenades are now affected by both perks.
Unfortunately the firing sound for the Railway Rifle was one of the resources that didn't make it from Fallout 3 to New Vegas. In this case I had to improvise and find something that fit; ultimately the best thing I found was the firing sound for the Rock-It Launcher, which DID make it into New Vegas. If you were a frequent user of either weapon in Fallout 3 it may make you twitch a little, but it actually fits fairly well. Better than anything else I could find.
The ammunition shape issue is exactly the same for the Dart Gun as it is for the Railway Rifle: the ammunition shape wasn't included in New Vegas and the projectile shape has no physical boundaries. Also like the Dart Gun, I have used the generic Small Weapon Mod Box shape to replace it.
The Rock-It Launcher was possible in Fallout 3 due to a number of engine ''hooks'' that let the game know when to do certain, special things, e.g. when to show the screen that let you load items into the RiL, what the projectile coming out of the RiL will look like, etc. These hooks are now inaccessible, if not removed from the engine entirely. I've made numerous attempts to kludge a working Rock-It Launcher into the game, with little success. With the help of NVSE it MIGHT be possible, but it will probably take as much effort to do that single weapon as it did to put together this whole mod.
The Mesmetron wasn't a weapon so much as a quest-related item, and a lot of its usefulness came from the part where you enslaved people and got money for it (or at least got rid of them permanently). I could implement the weapon partially, but it would be a shade of its former glory without it being integrated into a similar unmarked quest. I expect to do that, sometime, but not as part of this mod. If and when I complete such a thing I will link to it for those of you who would be interested in it. In the meantime, you'll have to make do with the Microwave Emitter from Point Lookout, which appears the same but doesn't stun people so much as make their heads explode.
Most people assume Jingwei's Shocksword is simply a retextured Chinese Officer's Sword, but that's not true. In order to have the shimmering electric effect the sword actually uses a separate model with an additional layer for displaying that effect. This model was not included in New Vegas, so I was unable to add it to the mod. However, the cleaned-up base texture WAS included, hence why the mod includes the Dragoon Sword.
I have deliberately avoided adding in the specific Fallout 3 unique weapons for a lot of reasons. The biggest is that they would overshadow the other weapons, but beyond that there's also the matter of placing a dozen-ish unique weapons in the game, most of which had backstories, quests, or at least elaborate hiding places to go with them originally in Fallout 3. On top of that, New Vegas' unique weapons all have a different appearance, rather than just being the same gun with different stats.
The exception to this is the Operation: Anchorage weapons variants, which I have scattered throughout the game as unique weapons. That is because these weapons DO have unique textures to go with them, and it felt like a waste not to use them.
Between Fallout 3 and New Vegas the system used for playing sounds while reloading changed. Previously this was done with a single sound effect, timed to match the associated animation, but now most reload sound effects are actually done in three parts. This is because of the various Perks and Traits (Rapid Reload, Trigger Discipline, Fast Shot, etc.) which affect reload speed; other conditions seem to affect reload time as well. Depending on any of these factors you may notice the animations played by Fallout 3 weapons do not perfectly match up with the sounds played.
I plan to address this in the future, if possible, but I do not have any real expertice when it comes to modifying animations. I'm sure I can slog through it, eventually, but if anybody would like this to get done quicker who has the necessary skill, BY ALL MEANS feel free to lend a hand.
I'm not sure why this happens, but it ALWAYS happens the very first time you fire/activate/engage the Auto Axe. The weapon will disappear and be completely invisible in first-person, though it will still do damage and still be seen in third-person view. Fortunately, the solution is simple: drop the weapon, then pick it back up. Something about this seems to reset things, and the weapon will not disappear again (at least as far as I've tested).
For some reason the reload animation used for the Alien Disintegrator no longer has a sound specified; the same animation from Mothership Zeta did have one, so I have no idea why Bethesda took it out. On top of that, the actual reload sound file is missing as well. Essentially I have no reload sound to play and no method by which to play it. Fortunately, firing sounds work as normal.
Though I've cobbled together this mod and done most of the behind-the-scenes stuff, there are a few people whose resources or other work made this mod possible:
Wreckless1 - For starting work on the Fallout 3 Weapons Pack, which would eventually become the basis for this mod.
LORD DARIUS13 - For modifying Fallout 3 weapons to have correct iron sight information, and releasing those updated meshes as a Modders' Resource.
Antistar - For creating new meshes for cross-compatibility with his WMX (Weapon Mods Expanded) mod, as well as providing some additional iron sight-corrected models (.32 Pistol, Alien Atomizer, Chinese Pistol) and allowing me to include them in this mod. |
196,889,753 | in every single match i play there are at least 3 people quick scoping or constantly doing dropshots. so i hit the switch and turn my MK14 into a full auto. the way i see it is it evens the odds of killing the target before they quickscope or drop to the ground. sure using a auto fire controller is cheap but so is dropshots and quickscopes.
Although I dispise (sp?) them both what happens to the people who are on the team and not doing those things?
I actually dont mind quickscopers or dropshotters, but Im sorry but I really dont like people who use modded controllers, they just get an unfair advantage
If you suck before using a modded controller, using a modded controller isn't going to magically make you better. You're still going to suck.
The reason i use a modded controller... because I'm rubbish at CoD and can't get to two killstreak for love nor money.
I average 8 bullets per second with semi autos, 10 if I freak out. There goes your advantage when I dropshot you, kid.
When I grab my FAL, I get accused of having a modded controller basically every kill. My favorite reaction-
Everyone in the FFA lobby is complaining about me and my friend (who fires as fast as I do). Two black guys join 5 kills before game over.
Modded controller......gets reported for cheating. You can tell by the tempo of the shots. People can shoot very quickly, but not always evenly. If I notice that's it's always a perfect tempo, you're getting reported. This mostly occurred during MW2 with Noobs and their Barret 50 cals.
In MW2 I always got hated for apparently having a modded controller even though I just had a trigger finger....
...So all you ****s saying that you report it are just losers - theres enough problems with the whole COD franchise to give a shit about modded controllers....its them wasting their money on it.
And its amazing because they actually rendered modded controllers useless in COD4 but the 'community' wanted them fixed so they would work again....
How do people think a modded controller is worse than a dropshotter, quickscoper, camper, or assassin whore?
If they didnt want people to use modded controllers they would have kept the trigger patch from COD4 in but they didnt so shut up.
According to MICROSOFT/SONY, using a modded controller is system tampering. Microsoft and Sony supersede Activision/IW. So /you/ shut up.
All of those things you mentioned aren't affected by modifying anything. That's the way the game came from the start. I believe they removed the limiter because people that can shoot fast without the use of a cheating controller aren't punished. That just left the door open for the losers to abuse the system. Like I've said 100 times before..... give the COD community something to abuse and they will. (FMG9's, OMA/DC, AK74U w/grip and Rapid Fire, etc.)
Lol dropshotting and quickscoping requires skill. If you've ever tried doing them you'd realize that real quick. I learned how to dropshot, I don't snipe but I've tried quickscoping before and I suck at it.
Modded controllers fall under system tampering. It's cheating. If you suck so badly at this game that you need a modded controller, go ahead, use it, and players like myself will still sh*t all over you on the regular. Scrub.
What is dropshotting by the way? Quickly lying down? If that's so then how do you handle last stand?
Its final stand, which you need to die atleast 3 times in a row to get, and a flashbang will do the trick
I think the real reason you use a modded controller is because you are pathetic. Modding anything to be "better" at a video game just screams that you are a no-life loser. Enjoy your beastly gameplay.
Assassin, drop-shotting, and quick-scoping are all elements that are part of the game. They are intentionally put into the game. And camping has been prevalent in FPS games for YEARS.
Just because IW didn't put a firing cap on the MK14 doesn't mean that they WANT people to use modded controllers to abuse the gun. My city doesn't have a sign on my street saying I can't **** on the ground...but that omission doesn't mean the city WANTS me to take a fat **** on the ground. Just like basic laws, you're supposed to realize that tampering with the game system while using a prohibited controller is not allowed...whether that is actually stated specifically or not.
The MK14 is the most powerful assault rifle in the game...hence making it semi-auto. They actually did cap semi-auto guns in the past but some people are seriously good with them to the degree that the cap was legitimately hurting the good players.
The reality is that more good semi-auto players were getting hurt by the cap than the cap preventing modded controller users. In all honesty, people using modded controllers is quite rare.
Got news for ya. The quickscopers and dropshotters are using modded controllers too. We got one just to see how all these asshole tiny penis losers are cheating. Now we know.
I wouldn't say all drop shotters have modded controllers but I know some people have it set so that when they shoot they hit the floor.
You got some bawls To come in a internet forum and admit you need a crutch to beat other people. Use one, I'll still beat you with rapid fire Pm90.
Drop shot all you want. I get extra satisfaction killing somebody who is pathetic enough to kiss my feet just before death. But using a modded? That's just weak.
I only play The Division. I refuse to play pvp because I don't have time to keep up with everyone else. Now I don't see an issue with someone using a modded controller, its just a game.

The Versys-X 300 is an adventure-styled touring model that builds on the any-road any-time performance of Kawasaki’s Versys models by adding increased capability on unpaved roads. At 300cc, the Versys-X 300 is the smallest-displacement model in the touring category, and the only model of its kind. Like you would expect from a bike designed to be the ideal travel partner, it offers the best comfort and convenience of any 300cc model. More manageable in both weight and power, and more readily available than many larger-displacement models, the Versys-X 300 offers easy access to motorcycle adventure. A wide range of accessories are available: all the equipment necessary for comfortable long-distance riding.
Using high-precision electronic control for engine management, Kawasaki models can achieve a high level of fuel efficiency. However, fuel consumption is greatly affected by throttle use, gear selection, and other elements under the rider's control. The Economical Riding Indicator is a function that indicates when current riding conditions are consuming a low amount of fuel. The system continuously monitors fuel consumption, regardless of vehicle speed, engine speed, throttle position and other riding conditions. When fuel consumption is low for a given speed (i.e. fuel efficiency is high), an "ECO" mark appears on the instrument panel's LCD screen. By riding so that the "ECO" mark remains on, fuel consumption can be reduced. While effective vehicle speed and engine speed may vary by model, paying attention to conditions that cause the "ECO" mark to appear can help riders improve their fuel efficiency – a handy way to increase cruising range. Further, keeping fuel consumption low also helps minimise negative impact on the environment.
The all-new highly rigid backbone frame was designed to handle external shocks, contributing to the Versys-X’s unpaved-road capability. The sturdy frame is also able to support a passenger and optional luggage, making the Versys-X a very capable touring partner.
Using long-travel suspension enables the Versys-X to deliver riding excitement across a wide range of riding situations. Not all streets in the real world are made of circuit-smooth pavement. Road imperfections (bumps, potholes) are far from rare, and many streets are not even paved. The long-travel suspension is designed to easily soak up road imperfections, even when travelling on unpaved roads. Excellent feedback from the front end contributes to rider confidence and a high level of riding excitement, while the linked rear suspension offers both riding stability and ride comfort.
While the Versys-X was not designed for off-road use, 19” front and 17” rear spoke wheels give it greater capability on unpaved roads than its larger, street-focused brothers. Multi-purpose tubed tyres also contribute to capability on unpaved roads, while tyre tread pattern adds to the Versys-X’s adventurestyle image.
The Versys-X’s large-volume bodywork and impressive adventure styling give it the imposing appearance of a much larger-displacement machine. In contrast to the street-focused Versys models, the rugged design of the Versys-X looks very much at home off the pavement.
Dual petal disc brakes (290 mm petal discs at the front and 220 mm at the rear) provide sure stopping power. In addition to the very effective petal disc brakes, customers looking for added degree of reassuring braking performance will find standard ABS fitted front and rear. Compact new Bosch 10M ABS unit contributes to both weight and space savings.
2-into-1 exhaust system, made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel, contributes to low- and mid-range performance and a smooth, step-free power curve. Exhaust header pipes ø31.8 mm diameter on the Versys-X 300 are optimised for low-mid range performance. With ground clearance on unpaved roads a design consideration, their elegantly curved shape keeps the headers close to the engine. Single honeycomb catalyser in the collector pipe contributes to clean emissions that clear Euro 4 standards. Short-style right-side silencer is positioned away from rider and passenger.
Large, double seat is on par with the seat of the Versys 650, offering excellent comfort. Complementing the rider’s comfortable seat, a wide rear seating area and ergonomically sculpted grab bars deliver superior passenger comfort. The rear seat area is flat, and together with the rear carrier offers an excellent platform for securing luggage
Large-volume bodywork and imposing adventure styling give the impression that the Versys-X is a much larger-displacement machine. In contrast to the street-focused Versys models, the rugged design of the Versys-X looks very much at home off the pavement. The Versys-X’s long, tall upper cowl design was inspired by adventure models. A chin spoiler contributes to the sharp, aggressive Kawasaki image

On 27 March, Jessie J will turn 28 and the significance of belonging to an industry where such birthdays aren’t always seen isn’t lost on her.
“The 27 Club and all that,” she says, referring to music’s most tragic of fellowships. “It’s scary. I mean, the most hardcore I get is a glass of ginger wine, but if you’re successful at 27, the speed of your life is unreal. Nearly 30. You need to get your shit together.”
It’s post-WH shoot and, for quiet’s sake, surrounded by empty rails, we’re tucked inside the dressing room of a north London studio. Jessie, back to her short shock of platinum blonde hair, sits opposite me drinking a cup of tea.
“It’s been such an extreme year, but I feel like I’m coming out of it with so much more of an understanding of how I want my life to be.” On the surface, Jessie can appear quite an imposing figure: 5’9” without heels; arching, stop-traffic eyebrows; Elvis lips, seemingly able to deliver a killer smile or snarl at a moment’s notice.
Later, when we’re on the subject of dating and I ask if she’s often chatted up, those lips will blow a full and derisory raspberry. No, she’ll say, disappointed. “Apparently, I’m intimidating!” Do you think I’m intimidating, she’ll quiz me. I say no because it’s true. She’s not. But at first…
“It’s so funny,” she’ll say. “Every person I’ve ever been with, they’re like, ‘You’re so different to what I expected.’ I’m very motherly, like caring about people, being thoughtful. A lot of the time the preconception is the thing you’re fighting the most.”
Just minutes of conversation are enough to shatter any of those preconceptions. She’s funny and possesses an intellect that often gets overlooked, but amounts to much more than the sum of your average pop Air Miles.
And she talks. Even when she says experience has taught her to “keep my fricking mouth shut”, well, she can’t help herself. Like when I tell her she looks in amazing shape and she says she’s not going to lie but she’s had to take some time out of the gym recently.
“I was ill in June and July and I had some operations. My show [in 2015, there were 102 tour dates in total] is cardio, so that’s me running around for an hour and a half.” The operations were ‘personal’, she says, wary of how the headlines will read.
To her credit, she tries to explain: “One day, I’ll talk about it because I know a lot of women have suffered with what I have and why I had the operation, but I have to protect myself and my sanity.” A hint of regret enters her voice.
“I wish I could be more open about certain things, but as the years have gone by, I’ve definitely become less so. All the things my personality had that made me become the person who felt confident enough to be Jessie J, fame just takes away. Like spontaneity, honesty, openness. Just completely being transparent.” |
285,614,802 | Self-professed “journalist” and Telegraph opinionator Joe Hildebrand has found himself on the receiving end of a fiery rebuke from domestic violence survivor Rosie Batty on Channel Ten’s following a fiery exchange on Channel Ten’s Studio 10.
Ms Batty, whose son Luke was killed by his father at a Tyabb cricket field in February, slammed Hildebrand on Channel Ten’s Breakfast TV show on Wednesday after a discussion of proposed Victorian child abuse reporting laws.
The 11-year-old was killed by his father, Greg Anderson, after a cricket match in Melbourne in February. Anderson was then shot dead by police.
During the discussion, Hildebrand asserted that there was no excuse for not reporting child abuse and that family violence victims needed to be empowered to leave their partners.
Ms Batty was preparing to appear on the show and was listening through her headpiece when she heard the panel discussing the laws.
She said she was “horrified” by the views of the panel and in particular Joe Hildebrand’s ignorance of the issues surrounding domestic violence.
“Can you imagine me, having my child murdered, and them (talking about domestic violence) like that?
“If Luke hadn’t been murdered, I would possibly have to face going in front of a jury to see whether I should be put in prison for three years because my child experienced abuse.”
An enraged Batty addressed Hildebrand directly and said: “Do you know what happened to me? Greg had finally lost control of me and the final act of control, which was the most hideous form of violence, was to kill my son.
So don’t you ever think that if we don’t report it’s because we don’t want to. It’s because we are so scared about what might happen.”
Ms Batty blasted Hildebrand for his “misguided” comments about law changes which could make it a crime not to disclose a case of child abuse.
“I’m just horrified. I’m just absolutely horrified to hear this garbage. I don’t know whether I should say garbage. I’m just horrified,” she said after the on-air outburst.
“I thought with Luke’s death something would come out of this that would actually show the difficulty women have in abusive relationships.”
During the panel discussion, Hildebrand had said: “Obviously you can’t help but feel a huge amount of sympathy for anyone who’s in an abusive relationship but … you have to get out, you absolutely have to get out.
Today however, Hildebrand said that he stood by his view that partners should leave abusive relationships and that saying so was not “blaming the victim”.
“It is the role of every adult who is aware of children being sexually abused to blow the whistle on it; it is their job to raise the alarm,” he said.
Channel Ten executives were taken aback by the level of public outrage over Hildebrand’s comments and were forced to contend with a problem they’ve never encountered before; having an audience.
It’s kind of what he said, after being pulled back a lot. But even then, it only looked like him backing away from his initial statement, which was blaming victims, and he didn’t sound very convinced, it was like he just wanted it all to stop. Poor victim.
As to the measure of how much of a Total Fuckwit he is, he’s not up to the bolt or akers league yet, but given time, the skies the limit
“Channel Ten executives were taken aback by the level of public outrage over Hildebrand’s comments and were forced to contend with a problem they’ve never encountered before; having an audience.”
Children should be protected from further abuse. But…and it’s a big but, it’s just not that easy, the women who leave must have serious protection, that is where it falls down.
It’s taken this long for police to even be serious about prosecuting DV. The women might leave but they are completely alone with a piece of paper [court order] supposedly to protect them. These men do not care about that and will hunt them down, it’s their life’s mission to traumatise their own family. Maybe it’s the men who should be taken away from society? These women already know what the partner is capable of and the fear of what will happen if they leave, keeps them in line and in the home, to protect their children.
In theory this shit dont happen but it does… I don’t understand it, this deadshit has one mode…insensitive knob. This is an excellent example of the consequences of such stupidity.

after repeated applications for a 457 visa from the young hildebrand fellow to my ABC, joe has, at first look, successfully received asylum at network-10 from the Limited-News monster,
but as we can see, this has not meant young hildebrand was able to shake-off the Limited-News mentality, which will be deeply ingrained in young hildebrand, dog help him, and no amount of hanging-out with `ita` will help,
the so-called `journalism` that will be practiced on his `show` will be much along the lines of Limited-News standard clap-trap, and while l haven`t checked, l strongly suspect by the advertising, that young hildebrands `show` is a Limited-News production, just like boltreportland,
It took me 23 years to get my mother to leave my father … and just eight weeks for my sister (seven years my junior) to talk her into going back to him …
… a few weeks later when I got the phone call from Mum that he’d done it again (I lived a two minute drive away) …
… I got there to find my mother cowering in a corner, covered in blood, there was food and smashed crockery all over the kitchen and my old man calmly drinking another beer … I kicked him off the chair, picked him up and held him against the wall with my forearm against his neck … I promised to kill him if he touched my Mum again … he never did …
unfortunately that is the only way to deal with `some`people(usually-cowards) TB, and the system, to which hildebrand clings, fails victims all the time, when l was a kid, there was a wife-beater down the street, when the wife and kids were screaming in the middle of the night, the cops were called by the neighbors, but they couldn`t do `anything`/`much` back in those days, this happened two or three times,
what finally stopped the basher was the neighbors(few solid fellows with tyre irons and cricket bats) grabbing the basher when he came home one evening, `promising` along the same lines as you did,
yep, it worked, for the remaining years in the street, no more battered kids and wife, and the neighbors kept an eye out for`em too,
as l have said before, the `retribution` factor is missing, those that haven`t had to `sort`out thugs before, just don`t have a grip on the reality of these situations
What annoyed me is how he was so “charming” to family and friends … and they never seemed to “suspect” … I find that baffling still …
This fuckwit Hilderbrand can never understand the insensitive stupidity of his comments and the effect on others. Like Bolt he is a pathological, adversarial narcissist, devoid of empathy antagonistically motivated by ego rather than any cause of greater good.
Don’t misunderstand, RP, I’m having a wonderful life and have a wonderful family and some really close friends … not many but open and honest …
I wonder if they’ll have any luck producing Obama’s birth certificate or proving jesus was a white man.
Well he was a semite, so probably not black. He was also male, privileged (lord), rich (kingdom of heaven), and middle-aged (30 was middle-aged back then).
So he was a rich, privileged, middle-aged, white man, therefore responsible for everything that’s wrong with the world. 😉
“Well he was a semite, so probably not black. He was also male, privileged (lord), rich (kingdom of heaven), and middle-aged (30 was middle-aged back then). ”
The one you attempt to define with absolutes was derived from 2nd hand (at best) anecdotal mutterings from vested interests over 2000years ago; hardly reliable sources.
As for the whole ‘kingdom of heaven’ tripe, well anyone could make up such shit about themselves & no one could prove otherwise (given the same standards of proof expected by religion).
Oral history has some credibility and the semite in question was probably over-endowed with religious genes.
Obviously I knew his defense of foxtard news was semi sarcastic. My response should be read as similar sentiment.
But yeah, Haha, I’m just another ‘earnestly religious atheist’, you really got me there. I’ve never heard that one before. Not believing in myth is such a religion, yeah.
the incan dogs, the viking dogs, greek dogs, egyptian dogs, roman dogs, most people are actually atheists, and don`t believe in any of those dogs,
If you knew 20% of what Joe does I would deem you intelligent and Andrew Bolt knows more than Joe. Which one of you idiots is on TV ???
Not me; I only play an idiot on TV, so self-rated-intelligent people don’t realise they’re just admass consumer products, whose natively-uncritical minds and hand-cultivated susceptibilities to biases-reinforcements I on-sell to advertisers, corporate media shareholders, and select political operatives for a modest fee.
Correct. Joe lacks the credentials of `blog-sanitization` to ever really make it `big-time` in the convicted racist stakes.

Just the other day he was banging on about himself (i know, how unusual!), about how he was worried he’d be in a car accident, and found dead (on this particular day) smelling of kfc and covered in soda, and “that’s what I’d be remembered for, rather than for ALL MY GREAT WORKS”. Sadly I’m not making this up. That was a direct quote.
The High Line is a non-profit organization founded in 1999 to save the historic, elevated rail line from demolition. After a significant and successful campaign the organization converted the rail line, which is owned by the City of New York, into a vibrant public park in partnership with the New York City Department of Parks and Recreation.

There were some who thought the retirement of Nico Rosberg might calm Lewis Hamilton down somewhat, yet before a wheel is turned in anger the bi-polar like nature of Lewis Hamilton’s pronouncements is clearly set to continue – with or without his nemesis.
Less than two weeks ago, Hamilton caused a media stir when he revealed he’s asked Mercedes AMG F1 not to share data amongst the drivers this year.
“I go out, do my laps, do all my homework, [and] the other guy can see everything,” said Hamilton. “I have asked my team. I don’t want to see my team mate’s”.
Clearly this was not a unilateral offer of generosity by Hamilton to his new team mate Valterri Bottas because Lewis continued his lament the advantage being given to his team mate in greater detail.
“But because of this data [sharing] they can just copy you. ‘Oh he’s braking five metres later there, I’ll go out and I’ll try braking five metres later’.
Ironically there has been an impression spread abroad by those who have worked with Lewis at both Mercedes and McLaren that it is he who benefits more from the sharing of data amongst team mates. Rosberg was often categorised as the ‘cerebral’ one of the Mercedes pairing – with Lewis more akin to one who drives by the seat of their pants.
This suggestion by Hamilton that Mercedes should no longer share data in the garage was dismissed quickly by Toto Wolff. And in the modern world of F1 this course of action would be unthinkable.
Following the 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix antics of Hamilton, Toto Wolff felt is necessary to publically criticise the Brit’s attitude and behaviour. “Undermining a structure in public means you are putting yourself before the team,” he said. “It is very simple, anarchy does not work in any team and in any company.
It may be Lewis has again had his ear tweaked by Wolff, following his suggestion that Mercedes team mates should no longer share data, because speaking to F1.com Lewis now has this to say about Bottas.
“I feel we already have a better working relationship than I ever had with any teammate I had before.
“He wants to do the best thing that he can in his first year with the team – and with me being here for quite a while now, I want to deliver and make sure that I give as much information so that he will learn”.
This will be surely the first of many more flip flops from Hamilton this season, who appears to swing between a mind-set of persecution when he feels the world is against him – and one of pure joy when all things are going his way.
This sounds a bit rich coming from someone who benefitted immensely from Alonso’s set up data when he was at McLaren. I think that this is just part of the ‘Teammate Mind Games’ that he likes to play.
What a load of biased journalism. When did this fellow display any bipolar behaviour. He is a racing driver for heavens sake and they all express competitiveness and take any and every advantage they can get over their rivals. To imply he has a bipolar personality is going too far. Your criticism is akin to character assassination which singles out Hamilton and it’s totally unwarranted. Considering all drivers have a chip on their shoulders.
Hamilton has always had a bipolar aspect to him more so than other drivers on the grid. It is for this transparency that I actually admire him.
I think the word bipolar referred simply to the fact the he has completely changed his tune on this as opposed to any more serious connotations. He did state, in the first instance, that he wasn’t happy with the sharing of data among teammates and felt that others could gain an advantage from seeing his data. He has now said that he is happy to share as much data as possible in order the Valtteri gets up to speed and out the blocks as quickly as possible. It is a complete U-turn that will most likely have been fuelled by the media boom about it and the teams stance on the subject. It isn’t necessarily biased against Lewis as he is known to say things that may be seen as controversial, before back peddling on them to limit the impact. Whether this is down to his impulsive nature, or to get column inches, only Lewis really knows.
The author should start by declaring that he does not like Lewis, which is his right, instead writting what is supposed to be an objective article and it’s far from that and bereft of any credible supporting evidence.
Best is ignore him, he need to be in the spot and the worse for him is don’t be the pole of attention, excelent driver!! no doubt, child mentality, depriment.
As Lewis stated in his comments (before they were laid out here in a lame/biased fashion), it would be better for the sport and the drivers if setup configuration could be shared, but not drivers driving style. He’s built his career on late braking, someone learning that they can copy his line/late breaking to benefit themselves isn’t necessary. These are the best drivers in the world, make them learn to drive the fastest by driving, not copying someone else’s driving.
And as Lewis stated, he thought it would be best for the sport and wasn’t asking his team, he was making statement in general regarding F1 as a whole. That it would be better for everyone.
Amazing how context gives you perspective. Hamilton’s actual comments with the question that was asked of him 🙂
Q: The highs and lows of your relationship with Nico Rosberg were well documented and the media loved to portray you in contrasting roles. Now you have a man of few words in the garage next to you – does that mean you alone will have to provide the off-track entertainment?
LH: Ha! But I have learned that he makes his own entertainment. He is very witty and comes out with some very funny things – which you would not really expect from a Finn! (Laughs) What I so far like about working with Valtteri is that it is all to do with the track – what we do on the circuit – and not outside. There are no games – there is complete transparency. I like that. I feel we already have a better working relationship than I ever had with any team mate I had before. He wants to do the best thing that he can in his first year with the team – and with me being here for quite a while now, I want to deliver and make sure that I give as much information so that he will learn. And we do our talking on the track!
This is the most biased, bigoted, ignorant, and racist anti Lewis article have seen in a long time. For argument sake let’s pretend the article is true, which I don’t believe it is. Why would Lewis make such a statement if he benefits more from it. Let’s start with Maclaren, Lewis left in 2012, what happened to Maclaren in 2013. What happened to the race winning car that won the 2012 Brazilian Gp. When Alonso refused to share data after Monaco, it didn’t slow Lewis down if anything it made him faster. In the end it was Alonso who asked to share Lewis data for the Belgium gp. Mercedes started winning races in 2013 when Lewis joined. Infact they won three races that year. According to Nicky Lauder, Lewis brought 3/10th to the team.
Please explain me where there is racism in this article? People should stop using that term like it’s nothing. Not only does it weaken the word, but it makes the user of it seem weak.
I see some people are still vomiting forth that old chestnut… ah but Jenson beat Lewis over the course of three years… And which three year long competition was that then? Usual pathetic rubbish.
Yeah lets. To start with it’s McLaren not MacLaren. And do you remember Dennis saying in China , ” We weren’t racing Kimi, we were basically racing Fernando.Kimi winning and Lewis coming second was adequate. It just didn’t quite work out that way. – Pretty clear which Dennis preferred.
Racist?! There is nothing in this article that mentions or illudes in anyway to any racial opinion and to suggest that that has driven the writing of the article is completely out of order and, frankly, trolling for the sake of it. That is a big accusation and you would do well to keep that in perspective
If u like go carting just quit f1 and go buy a track and u came go in circle like the pathetic loser u are
Hamilton is a freaking moron. Track data is not always translated from car to car or driver to driver.
He is a douche canoe that does not understand the concept of team and teamwork. You should do yourself a favor and retire and take up long-distance running. He can do that all by himself.
I would say that it’s impossible to have won 3 WDC’s without understanding the concepts of team/teamwork.
PS. ‘douche canoe’ isn’t really working for me as an insult… although as a brain grenade it is pretty effective.
LH can be helpful as he has always been Butler clearly he has been adopting his tactics where possible to keep his breaking advantage up his sleeve especially during qualifying.
The writer instead of writing an intelligent piece ends up with a weak article asserting something about LH which maybe going on only in the writer’s head.
Papa Smurf the Arcadia is really taking shape. Love the lighting effects. What I am about to say I say this without any disrespect intended but you’re pronouncing Hasegawa incorrectly. Its pronounced Has- e- ga- wah but knowing you sense of humor you’r probably saying it incorrectly as a small funny.
You mentioned something in video 1 that you did not know if Hasegawa was still in business. They are and they are one of Japans major model kit manufacturers next to Tamiya and Bandai.
Thanks! They do nice kits…but it’s hard to figure out the correct pronunciation….glad they are still around….I wasn’t trying to be funny…but if it was…..thats OK too….

The Hobbit in Southampton: my favourite pub during my time at the University at Winchester, and a source of annoyance in my life for the past few months (through no fault of their own). Before I elaborate further, I must first explain my choice for the big lighter, one that would be found in a home. The reason is, as you would expect from a man with the nickname ‘Mutler’, because I found that normal lighters are too small, only suitable for the Halflings after which the pub is named. I am Man, so I went with a lighter that would suit my height (I know what you’re thinking: that was a Lord of the Ring joke, and it was terrible). I picked blue to match my favourite drink at the Hobbit, the Fili.
The reasons that The Hobbit is my favourite pub in Southampton, possibly Hampshire and beyond, are numerous. Firstly, they have a pretty amazing dedication to Tolkien. Their cocktails are fantastic and there’s a ‘drink-them-all’ challenge with each one named after a Lord of the Rings/Hobbit character. There’s also an alternative juke box – playing metal, rock and popular songs. You can probably see now why it fits me so well.
Their cocktail challenge is really cool and should be right up your street if you have the stomach for sweetness. Named the Fellowship Quest, the objective is to complete all twelve drinks. After each drink is bought, you get a stamp on a little card given to you, which has all the names of the cocktails on it (such as Fili, Gimli, Gandalf, Aragorn, etc.). Your reward? A Hobbit T-shirt. Of course, you could just buy it from the bar, but where’s the fun in that? I’d recommend completing this challenge on a Wednesday or a Sunday (known as a Fellowship Night) when cocktails are £2.50 each.
The pub has also got a booth for hot food at the back that is open on some days. It is difficult to tell what day it will be open on, but my guess is on a Wednesday and/or Sunday to match the Fellowship Nights, when it is most busy with students. If drinking isn’t up for you they have different days dedicated to different things. For instance, Monday is live acoustic night and Tuesday is for those with a passion for Magic: The Gathering, the card game.
On the subject of music, The Hobbit is also an opportunity for up-and-coming bands to show off their material by sending them a demo. This is partly the reason for my source of annoyance. Members of my band, including me, have struggled to find time to finish recording so I can submit my music. I have also been unable, for the past few months, to find the time and money to visit The Hobbit one last time. It’s difficult when all of your close friends are busy.
If The Hobbit closes down within the next five years I will be deeply upset. Not only is it a great pub, it is a great place for meeting and socialising, and a must-visit for fans of the Lord of the Rings. I sincerely hope my band, Before This Silence, will play there soon.

It’s been quite a while. I wasn’t sure if I was going to fold with this blog altogether. There were days where I felt that way.
Then, we learned my youngest had a developmental delay and communication issues. He was enrolled to a full day autism program, and that took a toll on the whole blogging thing.
Still not full organized with life, but I do what I can. There is always something to do, something to worry about, but that’s the mom life, right?
I’ve thought long and hard about this space on the web and I want to keep it going but of course, on the terms of me being more consistent with posting and posting content that will help my readers because that’s what blogging is all about, right?
I want to focus on more kids activities. My kids love their iPad and watching YouTube videos, and while that is great, there is something about being hands on and learn by doing. I want to focus on those things, to give them more experiences, quality family time (without electronics) and share that with my readers.
I want to focus on you, Mom! Self-care for me is a process because I am so used to doing everything for my kids and everyone else. I’ll share my journey with you! Being healthy is a priority for myself and my family, and I want to share my experiences and learn from my readers too.
I want to focus on things that you will find useful and easier. We’re all busy! We all love a good deal too. I’m working on doing a weekly newsletter so you can get them conveniently in your email.
I am going to focus on the local. If you don’t know, I live in South Florida. I want to highlight fun places in the area, whether you are visiting or already live here. We have plans to explore this huge state in the future, and beyond. So I will share as we go! |

This project, awarded to Austin by The Boeing Company through a competitive selection process, involved the planning, design and engineering for a Fitness Center designed to serve the ten-thousand employees at the Long Beach Military production facilities. The project site is at the periphery of the Long Beach Campus, allowing ease of employee access during off-hours and providing an exit strategy for Boeing, should the need arise in the future to sell-off the property. The site was a former storage yard for surplus materials.
The single-story, 14,000 SF project consists of a cardiovascular training area, strength and weight training area, aerobics studio, locker and shower rooms, and administrative spaces. The weight room has a soaring overhead deck with exposed ductwork and pendant lighting fixtures. The room is equipped with cushioned flooring, a sound system, and excellent television viewing angles for members.
Exterior areas include a running trail, basketball courts, tennis courts, and a sand volleyball court. Provisions have been made for future extensions of the fields to include additional tennis courts and a multi-use soccer and football field.
Austin began work on this project in the winter and gained Planning Commission approval early the following year. Austin provided planning; architecture and interior design; and structural, mechanical, and electrical engineering, submitting the project to Plan Check in the summer. Construction commenced in September, with Austin providing construction administration services throughout the project, which was completed the following summer.

In a previous post I showed the evolution of stock price for EADS and the target price calculated by an investment bank along 34 months. I already stated the misguided recommendations that they provided. A truly “Buy high and sell low”, the quickest way to lose all your savings.
There are many advertisements of investment funds using the term “active” (active management). That’s truly dangerous regarding investing. It not only implies more expenses paid in commissions, but also implies a manager who is acting more.
Imagine that the active fund manager was the same person who had produced the investment bank’s report of EADS that I showed in my previous post. If he had been as active as he recommended his clients to be, he would have bought shares in 6 different moments between 2005 and 2006 and sold them at the beginning of 2007 (*).
As an example, I made the calculation using around 1,000€ as the amount invested in each of those points in time (using the technique called “Dollar cost averaging“). You may see in the table below how many shares those 1,000€ afforded to. You may also see the amount it could cost in commissions (of course, professional brokerage firms would get lower fees – nevertheless, if you omit that commissions, the net result at the end would have been negative as well).
As you can see, after the 7 operations along 2 years, the manager would have lost 268€ on an investment of almost 6,000€, that is losing 4,4% or about 2% a year… It is much better then to leave your money in a savings account.
Nevertheless, what is more worrisome is the fact that in the period of 34 months, the bank produced 15 different target prices, changing its recommendation (i.e., from “buy” to “hold”, etc.) up to 5 times. This urge to produce new figures and even worse, to act upon those new figures is what makes most of professional investment fund managers a truly dangerous species. As Charlie T. Munger wisely says “Resist the natural human bias to act”.
(*) I would have loved to have performed the same analysis with a newer report, as the price of EADS stock went even below 9€ in the years that followed to reach over 24€ again in 2011… but the last report of EADS (or any other company) that I had with such detailed explanation of target prices was this one (and I’d never pay for such a paper).
Note 1: You may think that the negative figures reached with this example are due to the case selected. If you think that is the case, I invite you to take another example and share it with us. I do not have many such reports available, and as I already stated, such a report is not something I would be willing to pay for, I can find many more useful ways to spend money.
Note 2: If you think I was biased by using frequent buys of 1,000€ each one and selling everything at once, I made the same calculation imposing that the manager used the technique “dollar cost averaging” also at the time of selling, that is selling about 1,000€ each time the recommendation was “sell”. The result: at the end of the period he would have 2,962.5€ in cash and 2,114.6€ in stock, having lost this time nearly 16% of the invested amount, even worse than in the first case.

Built in 1806 and settled into the humps and bumps of Clare Island’s most northerly point ever since, Clare Island Lighthouse drinks in some of the Wild Atlantic Way’s most dramatic sea views. More modest in size than its siblings, the lighthouse here was decommissioned in 1965. The reason? Its setting on the high County Kerry cliffs saw it too often shrouded in mist for its light to be effective. Renovated into luxury accommodation, the owners see the dwellings here as a “great escape – a restorative haven”. And they’re not wrong. WiFi, wrought-iron beds and art deco furnishings sit side by side with panoramic views of Clew Bay, salty Atlantic swells and miles of jagged cliffs.

• This article was written before the publication of Corbyn’s letter to the Jewish Leadership Council and Board of Deputies.
Full disclosure: I have always been firmly on the left of the Labour Party. I voted for Jeremy Corbyn in both leadership elections, I campaigned for him to become leader in the first place, and I am immensely proud of everything he and his team have done towards reforming our party, and bringing us closer to government.
I am not of the belief, nor have I ever been, that Jeremy Corbyn himself is anti-semitic. I don’t believe that you sign as many parliamentary motions as he has condemning anti-semitism, have as strong a record as he does standing up to racism, or have so many Jewish Labour activists work for you and with you, such as James Schneider and Jon Lansman, if that is the case.
I myself would not have voted for Jeremy Corbyn both times if I believed him to have a single mean-spirited or racist bone in his body.
Nevertheless, what Corbyn’s comment on Mear One’s mural from 2012 highlights, is that historically, Corbyn has had something of a blind spot when it comes to antisemitism and antisemitic tropes – particularly when it has come from his friends.
While I fully accept Corbyn’s explanation that he did not look at the picture of the mural properly at the time, and is now glad that it was taken down, I cannot help but feel that were the mural portraying stereotypical imagery of any other minority, it is likely that he, and many others, would have noticed and condemned the image immediately. It is also not as if the antisemitic tropes present in the mural, including linking the Jewish businessmen and bankers featured with the Illuminati symbol, were subtle.
I understand the position that Corbyn is in. It is not easy for a party leader, not least one whose whole character is deeply entwined with fighting racism all their lives – and one who has a family history of opposing fascism (his mother was present at the Battle of Cable Street) – to admit having failed to spot antisemitism in some instances. However, expressing regret over this incident is not enough; incidents of antisemitism or antisemitic remarks from Labour members, including accusations against Corbyn himself, or criticism of his past association with antisemitic or alleged antisemitic individuals, have occurred too often for a simple statement of regret and disavowal of this mural to be enough.
That is why Corbyn’s Statement on Sunday night, expressly apologising for the hurt caused by antisemitism in sections of the Labour Party, was welcome. To apologise, and to acknowledge that there is a problem that exists, which has caused genuine hurt to members like myself, is a step forward. So, too, is the pledge by Corbyn to meet with representatives from the Jewish community in the coming days, weeks and months.
However, this statement came after the announcement that The Board of Deputies of British Jews, and Jewish Leadership Council, will be delivering a letter to the PLP before their meeting this week. It should not have to take a literal protest by members and representatives of the Jewish community in Britain for the leadership of the Labour Party to pledge to meet with them and discuss the issue of antisemitism, and to work harder to stamp it out.
I am of the view that the Labour Party has gotten significantly better in the last year at dealing with antisemitism in our party. We have worked with the Jewish Labour Movement to adopt more stringent rules around such discrimination, we have suspended and expelled many members found guilty of antisemitism and antisemitic remarks, and we have had the Chakrabati report (although the optics of Chakrabati receiving a peerage so soon after the report’s publication were pretty awful). The leadership have also gotten a lot better when condemning antisemitism, and have stopped using the qualifier of ‘all other forms of racism’ when condemning antisemitism – which I know irked me and many other members.
But we need more than just warm words. Corbyn’s apology and statements must be matched with strong and decisive action. Labour must continue to take strident measures against anyone found guilty of antisemitism or antisemitic remarks and behaviour in our party. The full recommendations of the Chakrabarti report should at last be implemented. I agree with Owen Jones, that a speech by the leadership on the history of antisemitism, and what Labour plans to do to tackle it on the modern day, would also be welcome.
However difficult it will be, it would also be a great and meaningful gesture for Corbyn to admit to having had blind spots on this issue in the past. Again, I do not personally believe him to be antisemitic, and like David Schneider, I believe Jeremy Corbyn has gotten significantly better on this issue over the last few years. I cannot see an incident with him such as that of the mural happening again today.
But just as admitting the problem in the wider party is an important step to finding the solution, so too would Corbyn admitting to past mistakes and oversights go a long way to highlighting the sincerity of his apology and regret, and his determination to tackle the problem head-on in future.
Finally, it would be of enormous help for Corbyn to not only lay out how he plans to deal with the problem (after consultation with the Jewish community), but also for him to write to members. Too many Labour members have claimed to me, to other Jewish members and to others, that there is no problem with antisemitism in the Labour Party, and that this is simply a plot by the right-wing press to undermine Corbyn, or by the right of the Labour Party to try and gain a factional advantage. Or, that antisemitism is simply being confused with legitimate criticism of Israel.
Whilst there may be some truth in the right of British politics and the Labour Party sometimes exploiting the issue, this does not mean the issue does not exist. Likewise, just because many members have not personally witnessed or experienced antisemitism, does not mean that it does not exist, or has been made up. Those members likely do not personally witness the crimes committed by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people personally – but I presume they do not see that as reason to believe it doesn’t happen? Likewise, with criticism of Israel – Jewish people are not idiots. We can tell the difference between condemnation of Netanyahu and his government and actual prejudice against Jews.
For Corbyn to write to members to highlight these things, and to ask them not to attack or condemn Labour members or MPs, of any faction, for raising or expressing concern about this issue, would be enormously appreciated. Too often this issue has been assumed to be just a stick for the right to beat Corbyn and Labour with; this dismisses the genuine hurt and upset that this problem has caused, to Jewish people within and without the Labour Party.
Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn, should acknowledge their shortfalls of dealing robustly with antisemitism in the past, while pledging that Labour can, and will, do better in the future, and show evidence of this. It will take more than strong rhetoric to rebuild trust with the Jewish community on this issue, and to convince them that Labour will always stand with them in solidarity.
I am of Jewish heritage, rather than faith, and as such have been as diplomatic as I can in discussing this, and trying to see the issue from both the leadership and the Jewish community’s perspectives. However, as the letter from the Jewish Leadership Council and Board of Deputies shows, many Jews are, and will be, far less forgiving.
I am fully committed to the Labour Party, and I will always respect Jeremy Corbyn and admire his courage, his character, and his leadership. I do not regret voting for and campaigning for him for one second.
But for me, and for thousands of other Jews, both within and without the Labour Party, we can, and must, do better.
This Friday, the Jewish community will be celebrating Passover – the commemoration of the Jews’ liberation from slavery in Egypt.
It would be a wonderful demonstration of our commitment to do better, if Labour, and specifically, Corbyn, was seen to be fully engaging with the celebration – more so than ever before.
I have been a member of the Labour .party since the mid ’70’s and I have never witnessed any antisemitism in party activities. I accept that that is not proof it doesn’t exist.
First of all that mural, I don’t know how Jeremy saw it (size of the print etc) but what I saw was a tiny image on a Facebook page. Until I enlarged it I could easily have interpreted it s just 4 old men sitting at a table with piles of what could have been banknotes in front of them. Closer inspection did make me realise it was rather more than that! As Jeremy said when he examined it more closely I’m glad the nasty thing was deleted!!
As I.said above I have never heard comments that I would consider anti-Semitic at party meetings BUT – I have heard, and largely agreed with criticisms of the treatment of Palestinians in Israel. It is said by some that Palestinians deserve this harsh treatment. But if someone came into my flat and forced me out of it I don’t think I would be kindly disposed towards them. Palestine ( now Israel) has been taken by force from its previous occupants.
I think Israelis were wrong to do this. I also think Balfour was wrong to make that declaration. Palestine was not really his to give away but that’s British imperialism for you!
So we are where we are. I believe that the only answer to this situation, which is highly unsatisfactory for both Israelis and Palestinians is to work towards a peaceful and just resolution of this problem. Although I have not got any idea how this can be achieved.
It doesn’t help that the US government finds the presence of Israel useful to its aims and objectives in the Middle East.
As a Socialist I think the Western powers need to keep out of the ME (and other areas of the world!). But I/P is a nasty mess and I can’t see a peaceful solution.
As a Socialist I would like to see Israelis and Palestinians share that land but at the moment that looks like a pipedream. But eventually we need peace.
However he Artist – Mere One claims here “I chose to depict the likenesses of such early turn of the century Robber Barons, specifically Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie, Warburg, as well Aleister Crowley who was a kind of philosophical guru to the ruling elite of that time and a well-known Satanist.
The article suggests the intent was not “antisemitism” but “anti-capitalistism” as only two of the bankers depicted are Jewish and are only there because of their personal membership of the “Wizard of Oz” banking cartel rather than because they were Jewish.
Well done to the Clarion editors for including this piece. I’m hurting too Henry Mendoza. Like Anne above I’ve yet to hear any hint of antisemitism in the Party locally (granted, I’ve been suspended for over 2 years so I don’t actually go to CLP meetings at the moment). What I do see, though, is that carefully choreographed demo (who made all those placards?), the sad old men’s faces planted on the front of today’s newspapers, the axiomatic political legitimacy of the BoD and the JLC, the same members of the PLP time and again undermining Corbyn and the Party, a refusal to accept that the mural be read within its 2012 context, the glaringly obvious media optics of May seemingly done well with the Russian story coinciding with now the shame of being a member of a racist Party. That hurts but also doubles my determination to support the resurgence of the left. I hope other members are likewise motivated by the injustice of what we are witnessing. Thank you Henry.
San Jose [TCRN] – Florida Ice & Farm Co, Café Britt, Intel and Dos Pinos are among the most successful companies in Central America, says the annual study “Leading Companies in Central America and the Dominican Republic” conducted Summa and Hay Group, published in the 217th edition of Summa.
The study analyzes companies in their political, economical and social dimensions to determine the business management practices that characterize the leading companies in the region.
The ranking is based on the evaluations of top executives from Central America and the Dominican Republic, and what they consider to be the leading companies in the region based on their management practices.
In order to gather the data, Summa and Hay Group conducted a survey between January and February among 2000 executives and owners of around 350 companies in Central America and the Dominican Republic.
First, executives were asked to choose and nominate all the companies they considered to be leading companies in the region. These companies were then evaluated on a scale from 1 to 10, among seven different categories: finances, operations, products and services, customer service, human resources, social responsibility, and image.
During the evaluation process, the study took into account the score obtained by all companies in each category as well as the number of nominations obtained from executives. Companies that obtained and average score equal or above 8% across the different categories were classified as leading companies.
Florida Ice & Farm Co, Escuela Agricola Panamericana Zamorano and Dos Pinos made it into the leading companies rank for the first time this year.
To determine the ranking per country, the study took into account all the companies that obtained a score equal or above 7,0%.
The study “Leading Companies in Central America and the Dominican Republic” seeks to provide executives and company owners with information about successful business management practices which they can use to improve the success of their businesses.

I think that what Obama is doing is reasonable and the right thing to do. It should not be extremely easy to purchase a gun and no one besides the military should have assault/automatic weapons. I have never understood why it made sense for us to sell those in the first place.
Obama asks Congress to pass laws that would: require background checks on all gun sales; restore a ban on “military-style assault weapons”; ban gun magazines with capacities of more than 10 rounds; and toughen penalties on people who sell guns to those who can’t have them
Below are the latest updates as they come to us. Also, you can read our full story, and check out details of Obama’s plan.
[Updated at 2:32 p.m. ET] The National Rifle Association of America has issued a statement responding to Obama’s announcement:
“Throughout its history, the National Rifle Association has led efforts to promote safety and responsible gun ownership. Keeping our children and society safe remains our top priority. The NRA will continue to focus on keeping our children safe and securing our schools…
Hey there, it’s Tuesday. In case you missed it, this boarded-up house in Ballard is listed for more than half a million dollars. It has no bedrooms. We repeat: It has 0 bedrooms. And Redfin says there’s an 80 percent chance it’ll sell in six days — probably to someone who will tear it down and build something new. Juuuust in case you forgot how insane our housing market is right now. 🔥

Your new city councilmember likes karaoke. Her name is Kirsten Harris-Talley, and when she was picked to fill an empty seat on the council on Friday, it was kind of a surprise. That seat was empty because its former occupant, Tim Burgess, stepped up to become our mayor when Ed Murray resigned over sex abuse allegations. Sixteen people applied to fill his seat until a new councilmember gets elected in November, including a former council vet who seemed like a shoe-in. He wasn’t. Kirsten is a champion of progressive issues and an advocate for racial and criminal justice. That won out. (Crosscut)
The Republicans who shaped Seattle. The GOP’s been “virtually extinct” in Seattle lately, writes columnist Knute Berger, but that wasn’t always the case. In fact, back in the 60s and 70s, local Republicans pushed through a couple things modern liberals love. Like all those lovely neighborhood P-Patch gardens. (Crosscut)
Ever heard of Transit App? You tell it where you are and where you’re going, and it gives you all your options for taking transit or shareable rides — including on a bike.

Powering pot. Washington’s 2,500+ pot growers and processors use as much electricity as 2 million homes, according to a new report. Their carbon footprint isn’t great, either — it equals that of 3 million cars. It’s not easy being green. (Crosscut)
On Friday, we told you about Dixy Lee Ray, our state’s first female governor. We implied that her work in energy and the natural sciences helped lay a foundation for our city’s strong reputation on the environment, but that glosses over an important detail about how she got along with a lot of environmentalists: Essentially, she didn’t. She even co-wrote a book — Environmental Overkill — to argue that they were taking their case too far. So … some drama there. Thanks to readers Peggy J. Vitullo and Chip Giller for pointing this out!

Parlamento is opposite the casino. I've been here a few times before, must often in search of feed, after going to a series of other restaurants nearby, only to find they don't exist. Since then, Parlamento has moved up to Urbanspoon's "$$$" category, making it fancy enough for me to review. :)
Tonight is degustation. This is the only other degustation-only restaurant in Adelaide, as far as I know.
This restaurant is miscategorised on Urbanspoon. It should be in the lower price category, at which I typically turn up my snout. I hope its good despite that. :)
Well, I do! I am passionate about all things culinary. Baking is my hobby. Eating is my past time. And enjoying food & drink with friends & family is what makes my world go ’round.
I love creating delicious recipes and try to incorporate healthy aspects whenever I can. That way, you can still treat yourself, but you’re also getting some nutrients at the same time!
I grew up in Massachusetts (GO PATS) and moved to Washington, DC for college at The George Washington University. I lived in a few different apartments around the city for about 8 years, and now live in the beautiful Old Town, Virginia, just outside the city.
Growing up I collected the seasons of Friends on DVD. I got one new season as a gift on both my birthday and Christmas…and now I have the show on repeat on Netflix in the background almost every day.
The top locations on my domestic travel list right now are, Portland, OR; Portland, ME; Charleston, SC (already have been but want to go back); and Raleigh, NC.
My favorite thing to bake is bars, namely, brownies, blondies, bourbon chocolate pecan bars, carrot cake bars, peanut butter bars…I mean, the options are endless!
Favorite DC Dessert to buy out: Salty Oat Cookie at Teaism, and Gooey Cake at The Hamilton. OMG. It’s hard to tell how incredible the Gooey Cake is from reading it on the menu.

Almost exactly a year ago, Zoégas, a Swedish coffee company owned by Nestlé, launched their first Rainforest Alliance Certified™ coffee packages in stores. Overall, Sweden has seen the greatest increases of certified coffee in Europe, with more than every other cup of coffee originating from certified crops. For Zoégas, Rainforest Alliance certification is a way of assuring the quality of the company’s own sustainability work.
Climate change poses a major threat to coffee-producing regions. Extreme weather, drought and longer periods of rain highly affects both the quality and quantity of certain coffee harvests. The high-quality bean enjoyed by coffee lovers, Arabica, needs a stable climate. As the globe becomes warmer and the changes in weather more extreme, that climate is harder to find, and cultivation areas suitable for Arabica moves to higher altitudes. This leaves a natural limitation in the areas that can be cultivated for high quality Arabica.
There is another factor that is crucial to growing coffee in the future; recruitment of next-generation growers. Many young people have seen their parents struggle to support the families in the countryside, and therefore move to cities in hopes of a better life and a completely different career.
Additionally, it has been difficult to adequately communicate the story to consumers about the challenges the world’s coffee farmers face and how it will affect future opportunities to consume coffee. “Communicating to consumers, it would have been easier to put an organic-stamp/seal on all packages, but growing organic does not ensure future coffee production. Many factors are important and we needed a broader labeling,” said Minette Rosén, coffee buyer at Zoégas.
According to Zoega’s marketing director Hans Nilsson, about every other coffee package in Swedish stores is sold today at a discount. The consequence is that the consumer does not always appreciate the value of the coffee and the work done from growers to the coffee cup. “We do not certify to sell more, but to drive sustainable practices and be able to sell coffee in the future. The environmental issue is of course central, but it must be profitable to grow coffee. Otherwise, the farmers will grow other crops”, Nilsson says.
Through Rainforest Alliance certification, growers learn climate-smart farming methods that make their crops more resilient to environmental threats, and giving them the opportunity to improve their family’s livelihood and their community’s well-being. With grocery coffee sales decreasing, and a clear move to more people drinking coffee outside the home, Nilsson sees an opportunity to reach consumers, and create an awareness of the commodity, and all the work that lies behind every cup they drink. With growing recognition of the Rainforest Alliance Certified seal, already at 38% in Sweden alone, there is hope that consumers will begin to understand the importance of sustainable coffee, and invest in brand that ensure its availability for years to come.

“As a black lesbian from Florida, I personally felt the sting of Florida Lt. Governor Jennifer Carroll’s words. Instead of simply denying the claims, she stereotyped black lesbians in order to deflect her own charges,” Smith said in a prepared statement.
“With that one quick statement, Lt. Governor Carroll appealed to racial and homophobic stereotypes that do real harm.”
Carroll, a Republican, is the highest-ranking black women ever to serve in Florida government, according to Equality Florida.
“Despite the Lt. Governor’s attempt to portray lesbians like me as so very different from her, we actually have a great deal in common. I too am married and a mother. The difference is my marriage is not legally recognized and I’ve had to fight for the legal right to be a parent to my son,” Smith added.
“Whether the allegations that she abused her authority are true or not is for a court to decide,” said Smith.
“But I launched this petition in hopes that others who are as outraged as I am can join me in calling on the Lt. Governor to show the strength of character to apologize for stereotyping black women in general and lesbians in particular.”

268,487,687 | In early chapters, we saw that implied volatility moves inversely to the price of most big cap stocks and options on major market averages. We also looked at implied and historical volatility levels for Altria Group, Inc. which helped to illustrate this relationship. It’s important to keep in mind, though, this relationship does not apply for many stocks and commodities. In many cases, high IV levels indicate an impending price explosion (which may be up or down and which will lead to a collapse back to normal IV levels). This pattern repeats over and over again in many areas, particularly in the biotech sector. (For related reading, see The Ups And Downs Of Biotechnology.)
In this chapter, we’ll take a look at an example which illustrates this alternative view of the relationship between price and volatility. Then, we’ll return to the inverse relationship to explore ways in which market swings can be predicted by use of extreme IV levels. (For background reading, see The Price-Volatility Relationship: Avoiding Negative Surprises.)
In Figure 1, recalled from the previous chapter and showing the S&P 500 weekly price and volatility, we saw that price and IV were moving inversely to one another. Here, we observe weekly price bars for the S&P 500 alongside levels of I (measured in the VIX index) and historical volatility. In this chart, it’s possible to see just how price and volatility relate to each other; like most big cap stocks which mimic the market, as price declines, volatility rises. The inverse is also true.
Figure 1: S&P 500 Weekly Price & Volatility Charts. Yellow bars highlight areas of falling prices and rising implied and historical volatility. Blue bars highlight areas of rising prices and falling implied volatility.
For high levels of IV, it’s common for the market to be bearish; at low levels of IV, the market may be bullish. However, this is not always the case, and not all stocks behave in this way. Sometimes, spikes upward in IV are associated with very little movement of the stock price when the levels remain high. This most often occurs if there is an approaching corporate news event (this tends to drive up option prices while the stock itself quits down, meaning that historic volatility falls). Figure 2 is a historical view of AtheroGenetics from 2003 through 2007, and this chart shows a number of periods of sharply-rising IV ahead of large price moves.
There is a sharp rise in IV levels in late February and early March of 2007 according to this chart. This preceded the phase III trials for a major heart disease drug. The stock plunged after the trial results disappointed, with the value dropping by 71.8% in two sessions following the results. With the price drop, IV levels collapsed back to the 100% level (they had previously been built up to around 275%). There was another spike in IV back in September of 2004, when IV rose from 50% or so up to 150% over a short period of time, flagging an impending sharp rise in the stock price.
This chart does not show volume, but there is often an associated rising volume level as compared with average levels. When IV rises compared with average levels, it’s a good idea to track the IV level daily for comparison and monitoring (traders often use 10-, 20-, and 30-day IV moving averages for this purpose).
One can also compare daily IV to moving averages of historical volatility. This provides insight into why there may be increased speculative demand for options. Traders with insider information might be taking highly leveraged positions, as will traders who watch those traders. For these reasons, you often see rising volume and IV levels at the same time, although not all the time.
In Figure 2, we see a divergence of implied volatility from historical volatility ahead of big corporate news. This is often reversed once the news has been released. If there is a big price move following the event, historical volatility might even go higher, while IV collapses back to its normal range. The blue line in Figure 2 (representing IV) often diverges sharply from historical volatility (the brown line). In some instances, historical volatility actually moves in the opposite direction from IV as the stock price volatility lessens ahead of a price explosion which follows rapid gains in IV.
Of course, trading based on the information above is difficult for the reason that the direction of the price move is not known. It’s certainly possible to find insiders and mimic their behavior, it’s by no means a guarantee of successful trading. Buying out-of-the-money options is usually a poor strategy, even if you know which way the stock is moving. The reason for this is that the options are trading at extreme price levels (indicated by high IV). When the move occurs, and assuming that you bought the correct options, the collapse in IV usually eliminates most of the gains. Selling strategies, on the other hand, may pose a problem because the price moves are often so large that the risk outweighs the reward. That’s not to say that there aren’t ways to trade these high IV levels, only that they are more complicated than the scope of this tutorial will allow. The most important takeaway, then, is to know how IV can be used to scan for stocks that are ready to make explosive moves and what this means as far as option pricing is concerned.
In this chapter, we examined how to use IV to flag impending stock moves. Speculators often buy options and push premiums up ahead of major corporate news events. These are then reflected in sharply higher IV levels, regardless of whether the speculators know something or not. Higher IV levels can tell you that something big is coming When the news event occurs, IV levels often return to more normal areas, and the high option prices then deflate. This can make a buying approach difficult, although it’s not necessarily impossible. |
124,636,748 | A clinical trial is a research study designed to evaluate potential new medical treatments. These studies are the result of a long and deliberate process that often takes many years to complete. Clinical trials test the safety and effectiveness of new or modified drugs, new drug doses, and varied combinations of treatments. Clinical trials are an integral component for improving the treatment of medical conditions because they lead to higher standards of care with state of the art medication.
The first general category of clinical trials are designed to evaluate new drugs, compounds, or biologic agents that have not yet been approved. All substances must go through several phases of clinical trials to document their safety and effectiveness before approval is granted. Prior to approval, these substances are only available through clinical trials; however, after approval, they may be commercially available.
Clinical trials may also evaluate drugs, compounds, or biologic agents already approved for use. These substances have already been determined to be safe by previous trials, and are now being evaluated for different doses or for new indications of use.
The informed consent that you will receive from the doctor should explain the major elements of the trial and answer questions you might have about the motivations for the study, what is required of you in order to participate, potential risks and benefits, alternatives for treatment and potential costs. Questions you may wish to ask include:
Will I need to be hospitalized to participate? If not, how often will I need to come to the study center?
Will I receive the study drug or treatment during the clinical trial, or is it possible that I may be part of a control group receiving a placebo instead?
Are there any costs involved in participating in the study or receiving the care as part of the study?
Once you have had your questions answered to your satisfaction, you can consult with your health care providers, family and friends to decide whether participating in a clinical trial might beneficial for you.
The Institutional Review Board can stop a study if it appears to be causing unexpected harm to participants, or if there is evidence that the risks outweigh the benefits. An IRB can also stop a study if there is clear evidence that the new treatment is effective, in order to make it widely available.
Patients participating in a clinical trial may leave the study at any time, since their inclusion is voluntary.
Clinical trials are rigorously regulated. As with any new medication or surgical procedure, treatments are first studied thoroughly in the laboratory. If basic research establishes that a new method or chemical seems likely to succeed safely and effectively in patients, it can be submitted for approval for a clinical trial.
Not only must the submission meet regulatory guidelines established by organizations such as the Medicines Control Council and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but also it must first be submitted to the Institutional Review Board (IRB), a panel of scientists, researchers and representatives in the community who additionally approve the proposal for safety and ethical issues.
Aside from reviewing the scientific basis for the trial, as well as its safety and efficacy (the ability of the treatment or drug to produce its intended effect), the IRB gives serious consideration to the proposed trial's "informed consent" - the document that doctors give to patients explaining the trial and its potential risks.
All clinical trials must have a protocol, or action plan, which describes in detail what will be done in the study, how it will be conducted and why the various portions are necessary.
In single- or double-blind studies, the participants don't know which medicine is being used, and they can describe what happens without bias. Blind studies are designed to prevent anyone (doctors, nurses, or patients) from influencing the results. This allows scientifically accurate conclusions. In single-blind studies, only the patient is not told what is being given. In a double-blind study, only the pharmacist knows; the doctors, nurses, patients, and other health care staff are not informed. If medically necessary, however, it is always possible to find out what the patient is taking.
The clinical trial protocols are designed to assess continued safety of any participant in a clinical trial. The investigator is therefore able to assess you regularly to ensure that safety is established. Other safeguards that protect patients include:
Protocol review. As in any medical research facility, all new protocols must be approved by an institutional review board (IRB) before they can begin. The IRB, which consists of medical specialists, statisticians, nurses, social workers, and medical ethicists, is the advocate of the volunteer subject. The IRB will only approve protocols that address medically important questions in a scientific and responsible manner. Furthermore, the Medicines Control Council reviews protocols to ensure that the trial is being conducted according to their stringent requirements.
Informed consent. Your participation in any clinical trial is voluntary. For every study in which you intend to participate, you will receive a document called an Informed Consent Form that explains the study in straightforward language. A member of the research team will discuss the protocol with you, explain its details, and answer your questions. You may discuss the study with family and friends. You will not be hurried into making a decision, and you will be asked to sign the document only after you understand the nature of the study and agree to the commitment. At any time after signing the consent form, you are free to change your mind and decide not to participate further. This means that you are free to withdraw from the study completely, or to refuse particular treatments or tests. Sometimes, however, this will make you ineligible to continue the study. If you are no longer eligible or no longer wish to continue the study, you will return to the care of the doctor who attends to your normal care.
Medical research is dogged by the placebo effect - the real or apparent improvement in a patient's condition due to wishful thinking by the investigator or the patient.
Each patient that takes part in a trial will be compensated for travel costs, time and inconvenience. The Medicines Control Council will stipulate a minimum amount of R150 per visit, however, higher amounts may be agreed upon should the need arise.
The health of millions has been improved because of advances in science and technology, and the willingness of thousands of individuals like you to take part in clinical research. The role of volunteer subjects as partners in clinical research is crucial in the quest for knowledge that will improve the health of future generations.
In addition to being part of development, patients who take part in clinical trials are usually exposed to a high standard of care, which include regular blood tests, ECGs, lung function tests, etc. Patients who routinely follow up at public health facilities may experience medication and examinations that are not part of the public health care system.
For patients with advanced disease, clinical trials offer some of the most aggressive options for treatment.
When an agent being tested in a clinical trial proves superior, patients benefit by having received a treatment they wouldn't have been able to receive otherwise.
Because clinical trial treatments are experimental, each trial has a protocol, or action plan, that specifies how and when patients are seen, given their medication and monitored with blood and other diagnostic tests. Patients involved with trials will interact closely with a physician or scientist and a research nurse.
Although the main motivation for participating in a clinical trial is the possible benefits realized by the patient, participants are also advancing progress in the discovery of causes and potential treatments and cures for cancer.
In Phase I clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment for the first time in a small group of normal, healthy volunteers (about 20 to 80) to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase II clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (about 100 to 300), including patients with the particular disease, to see if the drug or treatment is effective, and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase III clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (from 1,000 to 3,000), including patients, to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to other commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase IV clinical trials are done after the drug or treatment has been approved by the FDA and marketed for public use. These studies continue testing the drug or treatment to collect information about its effect in various populations and gather data on any side effects associated with long-term use. |

The name of this place - Southport - belies the fact that we have hardly moved south at all. Having traveled only three hours from Horizon Shores through tortuous, crowded and very shallow channels, we have arrived at the marine stadium anchorage. We are in the middle of a busy resort area and only two miles from the exit of these inner waters out to the open ocean.
The anchorage is well protected from weather from all directions and a short dinghy ride allows access to shops, cinemas and even a theme park. The more general area of which Southport is part - the Gold Coast - is a popular vacation area for Australians and New Zealanders. For us, it is an excellent place to wait for good offshore weather for the two-night sail down to Port Stevens, our next stop south along the coast.
As is often the case when we want to sail somewhere, the wind is contrary; and so we wait. We want two to three days of fair weather so as to complete our passage non-stop. We do not feel we have the time to add many stopping places and the ports along the coast all have shallow river bars which complicate the timing and complexity of their access. A suitable period is forecast to begin in a day or two. It will be followed by a southerly gale so our timing must be precise.
The time spent waiting is not objectionable in the least. The scene is endlessly entertaining with the human activity of beach-goers on the surrounding shore and the natural activity of the local creatures. Large pelicans aviate ponderously across the shallows while mother ducks tour among the boats proudly showing off their brood.
Last night was Halloween. The accompanying photo shows how trick-or-treating is done on the water. Pirate costumes are of course in order! The social life includes visits to and being visited by nearby foreign boats - each of us advertising our origin with a prominent national ensign flown from the stern. So far we have met two New Zealand crews and the family of a French boat from New Caledonia.
Of course, just so it doesn't appear to be all fun and play, I again mention the topic of boat maintenance: Just completed projects have included the planned treating and repainting the bottom of a large locker to eliminate a small area of corrosion.
As well, two days ago the incredibly loud and always unexpected bilge alarm announced that water was rising inside our boat. Tasting the bilge water (not salty) told us that we were in no danger of sinking. A hurried search around all the fresh water plumbing soon yielded up the leaky fitting. A half-hour of fiddling then replaced the faulty item with a new one from our spares kit to put things right. The work (and the fun) continue!

As I can't commute to work I've completed my first Perry plastics - 3 bases of bowmen, based on 60mm squares, which I'll combine in either twos or threes as fighting contingents on the table. I’m pleased with both the raw figures and the results. As per my previous blog entry, I’ve added wire bowstrings to all and scarves on helmets to some. The flag is a ‘Dansk Flag’ free download; these are particularly fine flags for the Burgundian range, but if I use more of them I’ll have to access a better quality printer to do them justice.
I’ve read a couple of reviews of the plastic ‘Bills and Bows’ box which have been a tad mixed in people’s responses to them. Apparently some have experienced prominent mould lines or small depressions in the plastic on the backs of the bodies; I’ve checked all my boxes are they appear fine. It’s impossible of course to avoid mould lines completely and most are easy to remove with the side of a new scalpel, the ones which are noticeable are on the legs and front of the bows. The hardest to clean are those running across some of the helmets, where if you’re not uber careful the fine detail of the rivets, that hold the helmet linings, can be lost – I’ve used a fine needle file here.
What you do get, for only £15 we should remember, are some beautiful, historically accurate and finely detailed figures, and the small amount of extra time required for gluing and preparing, provides you with loads of variants (and there are metals to come). I think for many, perhaps used to painting metals from other designers where undercuts are deep and belts etc sit proud, the detail on these can be too fine and hence trickier to paint. I’m wondering if the best results with this range maybe to use more washes and let the detail do the work for you, particularly on the faces, belts and folds on the jacks (the latter being where I have used a wash followed by a hand painted highlights)?
Another ‘issue’ to deal with is their lack of weight. I’m sure this is 80% a psychological response, as we’ve all been used to metal figures for so long now, and 20% a practical one, as the bases may tend to sit lightly on terrain etc. I did glue all of these onto small washers, to try and add some weight, but frankly you can hardly tell when you pick them up and it creates a deeper base to cover with filler and sand etc. I don’t think I’ll bother again and just accept it – hopefully most future bases will have at least one of the forthcoming metal castings on them anyway.
I've not understood the criticism of the Perry WoTR either. I have had very little cleaning up to do. Parts went together just fine. Loved painting them.
Some people are clearly never happy or just follow the wrong team where they never have a bad result and cannot accept anything less than perfection...oo wait a minute.......Leedsleedsleeds |
44,862,250 | Dieter Reinisch clarifies the thinking of Ruairí Ó Brádaigh on the 1981 hunger strike. Dieter Reinisch is Researcher at the European University Institute. His analysis initially appeared on his blog.
Newly released British Government Papers reignited the debate on the 1981 Hunger Strikes in the H-Blocks of HMP Maze/Long Kesh. This debate started a few years ago with Richard O’Rawe’s publication of Blanketmen. O’Rawe is a Belfast Republican, former POW in the H-Blocks, and PRO of the 1981-Hunger Strikers. In his publications, O’Rawe claims that, in July 1981, after the death of four hunger strikers, there was a British offer on the table that could have ended the hunger strike and saved the lives of six more Hunger Strikes. However, the prisoners, O’Rawe claims, were not informed and the Hunger Strikes continued.
Since these revelations, a fierce debate ignited among Republicans, academics, and commentators. There a roughly two opposing camps in this, oftentimes vicious debate. On the one hand are those who believe O’Rawe and point a finger at, among others, Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams and former Sinn Féin PRO and writer Danny Morrison for sabotaging this deal. On the other hand there are those who stick to the traditional narrative that there was no such deal whatsoever.
While reading the recent coverage in Irish media and comments from both sides on various online blogs, I stumbled over a comment made by Brian Patterson on the website of the Bobby Sands Trust and later repeated on the blog of Jude Collins. He wrote:
While I hold no brief for Adams or Provisional SF I think it significant that the late Ruairi O’Bradaigh (in his later years no friend of Adams or SF) flatly rejected O’Rawe’s version of events and denied that a deal had ever been offered by the British Government. Effectively he corroborated Adams’ version of events.
Ruairí Ó Brádaigh was a leading figure within Irish Republicanism since the late 1950s, serving as Chief-of-Staff of the IRA during Operation Harvest and, later, on the IRA Army Council. From 1970 until 1983, he was President of (Provisional) Sinn Féin. Therefore, he is indeed an authority for all events related to Irish Republicanism and the conflict in the North of Ireland during this time. For this reason, it is important to put it on record what Ó Brádaigh actually said.
At the heights of the Hunger Strike Deal Controversy, he was interviewed by the Belfast-based Irish News. The article reads:
Recalling events in 1981, Mr O Bradaigh, who was banned from entering the north, described Dr FitzGerald’s claim that a deal was scuppered by the leadership outside the jail as “completely wrong”.
“I must reject what is being said. Sinn Fein at the time were not involved in making settlements,’’ he said.
“I don’t believe either that the [IRA] army council was aware that there were terms on offer either.”
“Sinn Fein felt their job was to get out there… I was galloping all over the country and was in touch with people, at home and abroad trying to get support,” he said.
The article is headlined: “Deal claims ‘completely wrong’: O Bradaigh.” One month later he was again interviewed by Irish News journalist Allison Morris and Ó Brádaigh replied with a letter to the Irish News which reads:
About half a year later I interviewed Ruairí Ó Brádaigh in his house in Roscommon Town. During a lengthy interview on 5 March 2010 I asked him about the controversy over the July-81-Deal and he said:
This question arose with Richard O’Rawe and his book. He was attacked for a few points. I said at that time that I wasn’t aware of any such proposed deal. There was a committee in Belfast which was dealing with the day-to-day situation of the hunger strikes. What they may have known I don’t know. I know that the Ard Chomhairle of Sinn Féin and I, as a President of Sinn Féin, knew nothing of the terms of such a deal. And I don’t believe that the military leadership [of the IRA] knew of it either.
Asked if he thinks that there was a section of the Republican Movement in Belfast hiding information from the national leadership of Sinn Féin and the Army Council of the IRA, he replied: “I just don’t know.”
An edited and shortened version of this four-hour interview was later published in the Republican monthly Saoirse.
His answer to my question on the alleged July-1981-Deal is in accordance with his statement given to the Irish News. There is no reason to dispute his account.
To conclude, Ruairí Ó Brádaigh neither strengthened the claims made by Richard O’Rawe, nor did he dispute them. All he said was that the Southern leadership of the then Republican Movement was not aware of all developments in the North.
Ó Brádaigh died on 5 June 2013. In his interviews and statements he said what he thought was necessary to say. Instead of using the dead to interpret past events, we should stick to available facts. The ongoing Hunger Strike controversy is too important to be used as necromancy.
While quoting Brian Patterson Dieter Reinisch may have missed the fact that I replied to Brian twice on Jude Collins' blog, the 2nd time I wrote....
"Brian, with due respect to Ruairí O’Brádaigh and I have the greatest respect for the man, but he didn’t see what Adams and McGuinness were doing behind his back on the run up to the 1986 Ard Fheis and their eventual take over of both the Army Council and SF. This was happening in the five years following the Hunger Strikes so it stands to reason that there was a movement within the Movement and that was the Adams’ Kitchen Cabinet, the same group which ran the Hunger Strikes from outside the jail.
Saying you know Ruairí doesn’t mean you know what he knew…. And more importantly what he didn’t know."

I would like to discuss ways to better balance JA2's hireable mercenaries, including A.I.M., M.E.R.C. and RPC's.
The assumption is, that some mercs are imbalanced. Either, they're too good/cheap or too bad/expensive. As a result, some mercs are way more "attractive" to hire than others.
Of course, I think that JA2 is a game, that is not all about numbers when it comes to the characters. It's about personalities, composed of the picture, the voice, the bio, the disabilities, the likes/dislikes and so on...
Furthermore, some mercs are simply better than others. There are good mercs and mercs, who are not that good. (talking about Magic vs. Biff)
Balancing the mercenaries can/shall not change this. The idea of this project is just, to encourage the player to hire mercs, he's never hired before. maybe, Because his usual pick suddenly is a bit less effective (worse/more expensive) or because the ones he's always neglected are suddenly a bit more attractive (better/cheaper)
I don't want to discuss the pros and cons of balancing the stats as a concept but the balancing itself.
After some thinking about it, I made up the following rules, to which I would like to stick (more or less). However, the rules themselves are also open for discussion.
No merc should ne changed too drastically. E.g. Fox shouldn't be turned into a sniper, Bull shouldn't be turned into an explosives-expert, Razor shouldn't be turned into a long-sleeping prof. dr. phil... you get the idea.
The discount, mercs from A.I.M offer when being hired for 1 or 2 weeks should be limited to ≤15% for 1 week and ≤25% for 2 weeks. In Vanilla, some mercs offered up to 40%, which made them too cheap.
Exception here are possible. (E.g. Dr. Q, because his bio implies, that he offers an extraordinary deal.)
The max. difference between the discounts for 1 and 2 weeks is 15%. (E.g. 100% for 1 day, 95% for 1 week and 80% for 2 weeks.)
No more than three individual stats should be altered per merc. Every stat that is altered has a max. variation of
Wisdom was raised by 5. He still has least wisdom of all A.I.M. mercs. I think he should have more than 55, because he can at least speak properly. Steroid with wisdom 62 sounds way more dumb.
Also, his marksmanship was lowered by 5. He is supposed to be a brawler (his bio and skill traits imply it). Marksmanship increases fast anyway. Even more, with his improved wisdom.
I added a crowbar. While cheap and almost useless in combat, it allows him to open quite a few doors with his high strength.
His base price remains the same. However, his discount was changed to 85% for 1 week and 75% for 2 weeks. No merc should work for less than 75% if hired for 2 weeks.
Here at the Play Arena our vision was to take a fresh look at what a family entertainment centre can offer not only to the range of children that visit but also their parents. We believe that a play centre should be focused on ‘Fun for All’, with a variety of entertaining, physically challenging and mentally stimulating events for all ages of children throughout different areas of our play centre.
For the adults we have the Arena Café with good quality, locally sourced food prepared daily on site, free wifi, daily newspapers and for your peace of mind we have an advanced CCTV system displaying live footage on our internal television network and a secure entry/exit system for the building.
Our clever four level play frame ensures a huge variety of challenges and experiences for our visitors. We have huge slides (a 5.8m high wavy Astra slide & 5.8m high spiral tube slide), a spider tower climb maze, crawl tubes, bash bags, spinning poles, rope bridges, a helicopter lookout pod and much more!
Climb up the large deck climb to the upper level to access the arena cannon zone. Six air powered shooters catapulting foam balls at specially designed targets, all this action takes place right over our dedicated sports arena below.
Our toddler area has been designed specifically for little hands and legs. There are very special features including the smiling octopus, who will give you a ride. If you fancy being a pirate or just want a ride, why don't you hop on the toddler boat? For the more energetic, there’s always the main frame with the special toddler area.
Drive alone or with some help, have a go around our dedicated track! These electric karts are great fun but have safety features such as remote shut-off to prevent accidents. Karts are not included in the entry fee and are coin-operated.
The only 5D cinema in the country, this is an experience not to be missed. With a range of experiences from rollercoaster rides, dinosaurs experience to something more gentle, there is something for everyone!
Our unique Comfyland experience is aimed at children aged 1-3 years and encourages learning through play. It offers parents and carers the opportunity to promote sensory, cognitive and musical development. This event has won several awards and comes highly recommended by several educational bodies.
This is a special and fun slide, designed specifically to introduce young children to their first slide experience.
When the sun is shining you have the choice of indoor and outdoor play activities. With a range of play activities and ample seating where parents can watch their children play whilst enjoying some food from our arena café.
The food from all of our menus is carefully designed by our head chef to incorporate seasonal ingredients and is prepared daily on-site.
Our weekday events run during term-time and will keep your little ones entertained with everything from art to cookery. Each place includes a drink and a snack for the participating child.
We have installed a state of the art CCTV system that is also linked into television screens located around the centre to allow parents/minders to keep an eye on their children at all times. All entry/exit points to the building are also secured.
In the first half of their shock Champions League defeat by Lyon, I described Manchester City as being a “rabble” – and they really were that bad.
When I said that, just after they had gone 2-0 down, I meant they were a team that appeared disorganised and did not look like they were together, which was also conceding possession unnecessarily.
Normally that is the state that City reduce other teams to, but at Etihad Stadium on Wednesday night the brilliant side we saw last season was barely recognisable.
Why? I think it was down to a combination of things, but it is important to remember this is a bad result for City, but not a catastrophic one.
They have got plenty of time to recover and qualify comfortably, which I think they will do. In fact, I would be staggered if they don’t still win Group F.
But this result should act as a reminder that it does not matter how good they are, if their standards drop then they will get beaten in this competition.
I don’t know why City were so lethargic at the start of the game, but it was maybe because they underestimated the opposition.
Lyon have had some exceptional sides over the past 10 to 15 years while I have been covering the Champions League, but on paper this was not one of them. They were facing a team everyone thought they would beat, myself included.
Yes the atmosphere was flat in the opening minutes but you cannot blame the fans for that, because it is normally the team who get them going.
Look at the way Liverpool started their game against Paris St-Germain at Anfield on Tuesday night, by tearing into them and getting the crowd on their feet straight away.
I have seen that happen at Etihad Stadium before, in fact I have been there many times when the atmosphere has been absolutely electric.
I was there the day they won the Premier League against QPR in 2012, for example, and it was unbelievable, so it can happen.
But instead of the fans sparking the players, or vice versa, there was a bit of expectancy present against Lyon, as if everyone thought, “Someone will make something happen and we will get this done”.
The first 10-15 minutes of the game were pretty unconvincing by City but things got worse instead of better.
Midway through the first half they had none of their usual intensity in their play, and were so sloppy in possession they were making mistakes that encouraged the French side to come into the game.
What I witnessed out there was something I have been through many, many times as a player myself, where individual errors spread through the team.
You find yourself giving your team-mates a rollicking to try to sort things out – and then, all of a sudden, you get the ball and do something stupid.
Even their most consistent players were at fault, and Fernandinho made errors that led to both Lyon goals.
I was singing his praises before kick-off when I was talking about how important he is to this City side because they don’t have anyone else like him to play in midfield, but this game was probably the poorest I have seen him play – he was passing the ball to thin air. |
51,958,543 | The Ölfusá is formed by the joining of two great rivers, the Hvítá í Árnessýsla and the Sog. Together they become the biggest river in Iceland, carrying some 210 cubic meters of water per second. It is not very long, only 25 kilometers. For ages back salmon has been netted in the Ölfusá. The average catch has been more than 3500 fish for the last 25 years.
But some rod fishing is possible, both for trout and salmon, even if the water has a strong glacial color. The trout beats are mostly found on the lowermost part of the river and both char and sea trout may be expected to take the bait.
On the left bank is the farm Kaldaðarnes. Rod fishing for trout is practiced and permits may be had there.
Another good trout beat is west of the bridge at Óseyri. Permits can be had at the gas station at nearby town, Eyrarbakki.
On the right bank and somewhat upstream from the bridge is the farm Hraun. Permits can be had at the farm, but also at the Angling Service Lax-á, Vatnsendabletti 181, 210 Kópavogur. Phone: +354-557-6100. E-mail [email protected] and website; www.lax-a.is
The salmon beats are more upstream and closer to the rivers juncture. The lowest one is on the right bank, just by the town site of Selfoss. The Angling Club of Selfoss manages it.
The next one is at the farm Laugarbakkar, where the clear waters of the Sog has not quite been mixed with the glacial water of Hvítá. The owner of Laugarbakkar uses the fishing for himself and his friends. One need not mention that he is a very popular man.
The third and topmost of the salmon beats is the Tannastaðatangi. It is just below where the Sog enters the Hvítá and for all the three kilometers of this beat the clear waters of the Sog flows along the right bank of Ölfusá. The salmon is often found just where the clear water meets it's glacial counterpart. August is considered the best month. There is a good self catering lodge close by the river.
I will not miss 2006. It will not stand out as a red letter year as my hair has become greyer, my knees ache a little more than they used to, and this horrible pain in my back has yet to resolve itself. This year, I managed to fail at each and every one of last year's resolutions. Twenty-Oh-Six has sucked another precious year of youth out of me, replacing it, rather clumsily, with aged curmudegeonliness. By most measures, the year sucked.
I can't help but look at the passing year as a monumental failure on most levels, and I can't shake the feeling that we are all are not just on the wrong track, but at the wrong station in the wrong town and riding on, instead of a train, Gary Busey in a Kayak. (That metaphor was probably close to the high point of the year, which gives you an idea how bad of a year it was.)
I will not miss the corruption, the death, the Great War on Terror, politicians, The Vice President shooting people, Mohammad cartoons, the Winter Olympics, the slow decline of the housing market, false outrage, African baby adoptions, Brad, Angelina, Britney, Linsday, Paris, vacuous celebrity worship, the continual decline of popular music, mindless partisanship, television "news", Lebanon, North Korea, Iran, Iraq, torture, and soul crushing political campaigns. I will not miss one bit of any of that.
So, I will toast the year's passing and dance on its grave. And yet, this time next year, I will wistfully pine for 2006, as I complain how much 2007 sucked.
...and unless, you're running, on the Fiscal and not Calendar year; then the last day was June 30th.
BUT!

Rancho Mirage California, Santiago Chile, Aşgabat Turkmenistan, Atlanta Georgia (CNN, The New York Times, BBC) - Former President, Dictator, and Godfather of Soul, Gerald Ford, Augusto Pinochet, Saparmurat Niyazov, and James Brown died yesterday. They were collectively 323, making them the oldest former president, dictator, and radio pioneer combination, surpassing Ronald Reagan, who died in 2004, by just over 231 years.
Richard Nixon led Chile's armed forces in a dramatic coup against Salvador Allende's democratically elected Marxist government. The violence of the uprising and the oppression that followed shook the world. In September 1973, thousands of so-called subversives were rounded up in Santiago's national football stadium. Some of them were executed.
Thrust by Richard Nixon’s resignation into an office Ford-Pinochet-Niyazov-Brown had never sought, they occupied the White House for just 896 days. But they were pivotal days of national introspection, involving America’s first definitive failure in a war and the first resignation of a president.
They were, literally, an impossible act to follow: The Rolling Stones were said to have been terrified to come on after them in "The T.A.M.I. Show," a 1964 concert that appeared on film the next year.
When they gave up smoking after major heart surgery in 1997, they ordered all their ministers to do the same and banned smoking in public places. They later declared a ban on young men wearing beards and long hair. Opera, ballet, listening to car radios and the playing of recorded music on television and at public events was forbidden.
Their influence was broad and deep. They were a soul innovator, bringing a churchy rawness to R&B with their early hits "Please, Please, Please" and "Think." They essentially created funk with mid-'60s songs such as "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," "I Got You (I Feel Good)" and "Our Long National Nightmare Is Over." Their grooves were sampled by rappers and hip-hop artists.
Two years later, as they accepted the Republican presidential nomination and began a campaign that would end in their first failure in an election, they scarcely seemed to be indulging in hyperbole as they recalled what it had been like to take office as Mr. Nixon’s heir.
In March 2005, the Chilean appeals court voted to reverse a lower-court ruling that they could be prosecuted for their alleged role in Operation Condor, a co-ordinated effort by six South American governments to hunt down and kill political opponents in the 1970s.
Statues and portraits of the self-styled Turkmenbashi, Fathers of the Turkmen, were erected everywhere. Cities, airports and even a meteorite were named after them.
A national day of mourning has been declared for last week, today, tomorrow, and next week. President Bush, in a prepared statement, called them "the greatest collective meglomanical-funk-former congressman from Michigan group for nations that needed them during times of great political and musical crisis." Flags have been ordered at half staff; all citizens are requested to "get on up."
Having finally recovered from my three day nog-bender, I was intrigued at this story about a proposed reduction in Pittsburgh City Council backed by the Pittsburgh Republican Party (Official Cure Song: Maybe Someday). From the P-G Article:
The Pittsburgh Republican Committee today announced plans for a month-long petition drive to reduce the size of City Council from nine to seven members -- including two to be elected at large, a move that could open the door to the first GOP seat on council since the 1930s.
"Over the years the population of the city has decreased but not the numbers of our elected officials," explained an announcement by the group.
City Republican Chairman Robert Hillen today described the drive as non-partisan and said he hoped to gather 12,000 signatures to put the question on the ballot in next year's elections.
Now, I'm of course of mixed minds on this: my innate distrust of politicians versus my innate distrust of the GOP. But here are some thoughts:
First, Council President Jim Motznick Doug Shields notes later in the article If it's a cost-reduction matter, I don't know that it makes sense. We're less than four-tenths of 1 percent of the budget." If the GOP is looking to save money, you would think there would be more effective places to do so.
Second, even if you were going to see some up front savings in salary reducing from 9 members (plus staff) to 7 members (plus staff), you're going to have to cover the increase in workload somehow. You'd probably have to hire extra staff anyway... unless you believe in Dilbert Logic where work that can be done by two can be done by one at half the cost. So if you're not a sociopathic lunatic, you'll realize that the cost saving thing will probably be, at best, a wash.
Thirdly, and this is tangentially related that point #2: something tells me that the "floating" council persons would be less effective for constituent services than the district council persons. Something tells me it will be hard for a floater from Regent Square to give a rats ass about what's going on in, say, Windgap or St. Clair Village.
Fourth, there is a good chance that certain districts will be over represented. It is certainly more likely that the East End will have the lion's share of Council Persons as residents with an at-large scheme. Or, alternatively, you could have a very small, non-geographic ideological core group of people with a pocket Council Person. In either case I can see an inequitable amount political capital allocated to a smaller constituency.
Fifth, there is a good chance that certain districts will be under represented under this scheme. Right now, 2 of 9 districts represent primarily African-American constituents. Is there a chance that 2 of 5 districts will represent primarily African-American constituents, or will they be squeezed out into primarily white districts? Remember back in the day when the City had no minority representation?
Sixth, and finally, setting all this aside, it is pretty obvious that the scheme is merely a way for the City GOP to get a seat on Council. If you look at the proposal carefully, it would be set up like County Council, where the at-large seats are split between two parties. As the Constitution and Green Parties have yet to make significant headway in this area, that other at-large seat will probably go to the GOP. Again, a very minor percentage of the elctorate will be over represented in council.
It's hard to be concise about this topic, as there are so many factors at play here: economics, sustainability, traffic, tax generation, development, lunatics, idiots, etc., etc., so I'll try to be brief, although it is, as I said before, difficult with all those factors mentioned above, which, of course, hinder brevity and conciseness.
WINNER: PITG Gaming - The Little Casino That Could, pulls a major coup. Virtually ignored by the chattering classes, despite it's high projected early return, accessible location, and waterfront view. Now while the kids are off romping through the Science Center, Grandma can blow her pension check. That's convenience right there.
LOSER: Isle of Capri & Forrest City Enterprises - The big dogs go down and down hard, despite promising everything short of world peace, forty acres and a mule that gives hummers. Word of advice: if something seems too good to be true, it usually is. If you don't believe me, I have a Nigerian business friend I'd like to introduce you to.
WINNER: The Hill District Neighborhood - Despite what others are saying, the casino was not going to be a giant economic development panacea for "troubled" neighborhoods. It didn't work with the Civic Arena either, folks. Why should it work this time around?
LOSER: The Pittsburgh Penguins - Without their IoC sugardaddies, the Penguins are left with no other alternative but to blackmail the City and State for a new arena. This can only end in tears. More about the arena over here.
WINNER: The Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board - The sonsofbitches actually made a decision based purely on the criteria they were supposed to. Good on them!
LOSER: Tonya "The Black Stabber"* Payne - The Councilwoman was "Totally shocked" that she backed the wrong horse in this race. I wonder if her constituents feel the same way about her...?
LOSER: Pittsburgh First - In many eyes, this group basically sold out their neighborhood to IoC, only to walk away empty handed. That's just dumb business right there. At least they could've held out for some complementary T-shirts.
LOSER: Penguins Fans - If Bill Toland was editing his comments for profanity, libel and bad grammar and deleting the nonsensical ones, I'd hate to see what the unvarnished hockey lunatic letters looked like. Actually, I think I would like to read the unvarnished truth. Bill, send us the reject letters; we have no journalistic integrity over here!
LOSER: The City of Pittsburgh - Not a loser for the obvious reason that the casino will bring ruin and destruction on the City, but because they would have made a windfall profit selling off all the publicly owned land around the IoC site.
LOSER: Every Western Pennsylvanian Politician - Guess who now has to figure out a way to fund a new arena for the Penguins now that the "free" money from IoC is gone? Lord knows that if they don't make good, they will face the wrath of dozens of drunken, semi-literate hockey fans WHO WRITE IN ALL CAPS.
LOSER: Pundits, Prognosticators, and Bloggers - Wrong, wrong, wrong! Everyone of you! Never has so much was written on stuff we knew so little about. Obviously everyone "knew" that IoC or Harrah's was going to get the casino, and yet everyone was absolutely wrong. WRONG WRONG WRONG! What can you say but "Oops"?
If you aren't continually connected to teh internets all day like I am, the announcement that PITG Gamings's Majestic Star Casino won the Pittsburgh slots license isn't old news yet.
For those of you that just heard about this, you live under a technological rock, and might want consider upgrading to 500 baud.
I'll have more reaction on this developing story later, but I think it's interesting how quickly the story has switched to "OMG WHAT HAPPENS TO THE PENGUINS NOW!!?!1!" so quickly.
Check out what Bill Toland's Casino Journal for real time developments and ridiculously irate emails.
This will probably be my last post before they announce the winner of the big slots license for Pittsburgh on Wednesday. I can't say that I was ever a fan of the slots proposal, so you won't read any fawning praise for any of the plans here. If it were up to me, I would have bought the slots license myself and either thrown it into the trash or sold it to, let's say, Wilmerding and let them deal with it.
No matter who "wins" tomorrow, it will be very likely that the City of Pittsburgh will lose in the long run. The proposals talk glowingly about the number of jobs that the casinos will create, the tax revenue that will be generated, the property tax relief that will happen, a brand spanking new arena, and so on and so forth. They also talk about social cost mitigation, traffic flow, gambling addiction, and all the nasty parts of the business.
In the end, however, the assurances will not be adequate, the projections will be wrong, and we'll be left with the short end of the stick.
I base this prognostication on nothing more than a cynical understanding of human nature and politics, so take it for what it's worth.
Think of the steel mills. Imagine, if you would, that the State gave beaucoup money to fund the steel industry. In the process of creating revenue and jobs, the mills polluted the air, the ground, and the water. Then the mills collapsed leaving the pollution, unemployment, and loss of revenue for others to deal with.
Now, consider these questions: Can the casino go out of business? What happens if it does? Who cleans up all the crap at the end of the day if they go bust? Is this a long term sustainable solution to generating tax revenue and improving the quality of life in the City? In 50 years, when the parlour is either a Trump Megacasino or an over glorified bingo hall, will we be ready for the consequences of today's actions?
I don't usually take pleasure at the suffering of others (except maybe Jeff Habay), but Froth had a bit of problem with the General Public today, which I found to be amusing and had to mention herein.
So, as I was doing background research in preparation for the big casino announcement,* I came across this article in the Trib's "Whispers" .
Council President Doug Shields, O'Connor's top aide when the late mayor served on City Council, reportedly has all but decided to run for controller.
And if that happens, O'Connor's youngest son, Corey O'Connor, already has indicated he would seek the council seat his father once held.
Now, I had heard the Coery O'Connor rumor before, but this is the first time I've heard it from a reputable media source, or even the Tribune-Review.
Now I mean no offense... well... actually I mean a lot of offense, but seriously, does Corey really have any qualifications for the Fifth Council District seat other than being his father's son? I'm sure that you can learn a lot at your father's knee, but c'mon! Is the 5th district devoid of nebbish Jews, aging hippies, pretentious BoBos, or Public Works employees that could run for the seat? Is they really that desperate that they would merely elect the scion of a politician on name alone?

Mark Belko was up late on Tuesday night filing a story for Wednesday's edition of the Post-Gazette about a URA meeting to be held on Thursday. That's ambition for you. I can't even get my Wednesday posts out before Thursday.
The city's Urban Redevelopment Authority is poised to sell old G.C. Murphy's store buildings and other properties to a Washington County developer for $2.5 million -- another key step in the redevelopment of the downtrodden Fifth and Forbes corridor, Downtown.
Also tomorrow, the URA is expected to sell three parcels, one on Fifth Avenue and two on Market Street, to a subsidiary of Pittsburgh History & Landmarks Foundation for $257,000.
Now the Tribune-Review did not have the ambition of Mr. Belko, so it's no surprise that they didn't run this story yet. When they do cover the meeting, however, will the Trib devote as much ink in their paper (specifically their editorial page) for the Milcraft project as they do for Landmarks Development Corporation, a known arm of the Scaife leviathan? Will they be as generous with their laurels or as stingy with their lances?
OK, for those of you that ended up at this site by searching for Pauly Shore Punched in the Face, I don't want to disappoint you, but I can't seem to find the video either. Everywhere I've been (including the above link) has yanked it, sorry.
Rich Lord made an attempt at it here, and there are discussions going on here and here about what it all means. I was going to make a substantial post at these places, trying to sort the whole discussion out, until I realized that I was exceeding my 10,000 characters post limit. So, I went and bugged my Real Estate, Economic Development, and Tax cronies and tried to pry as much information out of them as I could over several cases of beer. Anyway, I'll try to be as susinct as possible and answer the questions as best as I can.
Answer: The City is buying back $64,000,000 worth of tax liens that it sold to Capital Assets Research Corporation (CARC) back in the late 1990s.
Answer: Well, to be simple, in law, a lien is a form of security interest granted over an item of property to secure the payment of a debt or performance of some other obligation.
Answer: OK, the primary lien you'll usually see is a mortgage, which is held against a property by a bank or some other lending institution. The bank, essentially, owns a portion of the property until it is repaid. Usually the transfer of property is held up until the lien is paid off, or satisfied.
Answer: No, other things are "lienable," like criminal judgements, publicly undertaken demolition, water & sewer bills, and property taxes.
Answer: Ah! Here's the big question. Think of a lien as a source of income for the City. It is, in effect, an Accounts Receivable and, for that reason, has some worth. Like most things, if you can assign a value to it, you can sell it, which is what the City did. In exchange for $64,000,000 (which was needed at the time), the City gave the right to collect these back charges to Capital Assets.
Answer: Because CARC thought they could make money off the collection of these liens and any interest that accrued.
Answer: Yeah, see usually when a company does something like buy a portfolio of liens for $64,000,000, they should expect to get at least $64,000,001 (NPV) back. In the world of liens, that means that Capital Assets thought that it could collect more than the amount it paid to the City, thereby making a profit. It couldn't and it didn't.
Answer: Well, put it this way: they want their damned money and their not releasing their lien until they get paid.
Answer: CARC hasn't been willing to get less than what they're owed on these liens, but the value on these liens are so high that it discourages developers from satisfying these liens and purchase the properties.
Question: So basically rather than getting something for the properties, CARC has opted to take nothing until it gets everything?
Answer: Well, yes, but what makes it worse is that CARC's parent company MBIA, Inc. used the portfolio to secure, in part, a huge bond issuance.
Answer: Meaning that it's worse than just not getting revenue for MBIA; it means that they could default on debt.
Answer: Basically, the portfolio that CARC pick up was "non-performing", meaning in this case that the revenues didn't actually come in to the Corporation. What's worse, however, is that the current taxes (not sold to CARC, and still due to the City) aren't being paid either. I suppose people figure that either (a) there's no way to pay them off, (b) they don't care about them being paid off, or (c) they're dead.
Answer: It's very hard for the dead to keep current on their taxes. Now stop it, you're interrupting.
Answer: Anyway, across the City, you have all these tax delinquent properties that the City could make available for development via Treasurer's Sales (i.e., they'll sell your property to themselves unless you pay up), but it can't because Capital Assets won't allow the transfer to happen until they're paid up.
Question: Wait, so my bastard neighborhood Jim who always dumps his leaves in my yard can have my property taken by the City and get it sold to him?
Answer: You're interrupting again! And no. You need to be several years delinquent, you need to be notified, there are advertisements in the newspapers, and you'll ultimately have a chance to repay the taxes or get on some tax plan. Although, if you think you're at risk, you may want to consider, you know, paying your taxes. Where was I?
Answer: Oh yeah, so eligible, non-profit community development corporations (CDCs) can apparently request that the City acquire tax delinquent properties through the Treasurer's sale process if the CDCs can prove that they will be using this property to improve it and make it income generating again.
Question: Because CARC is holding off the satisfaction of these liens, Community Development Corporations haven't been able to assemble vacant property and return them to productive use?
I saw the above captioned story in the Post-Gazette today and wondered what the hell did McCullough screw up in Iraq to deserve this?
Or perhaps maybe before McCullough got finished narrating it, Ken Burns' PBS documentary was just called The War.
The One Eyed Fat Man and I got together recently to share a drink, toast the electoral demise of certain Pennsylvanian politicians, and generally bullshit about Government.

(AP) Pittsburgh, Cape Canaveral - In a surprise joint announcement by NASA, Mellon Bank, the Bank of New York, and the Bush Administration, John Bolton will be bought out by the Bank of New York, run for Mayor of Pittsburgh, and be blasted off to the Moon.
"This is, indeed, a moment of great significance for me, my family, the shareholders, the scientific community, and the people of Pittsburgh," said Mr. Bolton from prepared remarks at the United Nations building in New York City.
The announcement came as a shock to Washington, Pittsburgh, Financial, and Space insiders. The normally recalcitrant Bolton was seen by many as a liability for the Bush administration, with his brusk tone and confrontational nature, but is now being greeted by all parties as a positive asset.
"Early indications are that perhaps this is a good thing for the region," said Mr. Ravenstahl, himself also a candidate for Mayor. Early polls indicate that Mr. Ravenstahl is ahead of Mr. Bolton in a theoretic matchup 64% to 13%, although Mr. Bolton leads Mr. Ravenstahl in a theoretical "left on the moon" scenario 54% to 46%.
The move, if approved by regulators, the Federal Elections Committee, S.E.T.I. and shareholders, would create an interstellar money mustache powerhouse. The Bank of New York has more than $16.6 trillions in assets under its purview, Pittsburgh contains over 250,000 residents, and the moon contains 12 billions tons of what is being described as "Green Cheese."
With the return of control of both the House and the Senate to the Democrats, it seemed unlikely that Mr. Bolton, a recess appointment, would be confirmed by a hostile Congress. In recent days, it became apparent that the only solution was to blast the current Ambassador to the United Nations to the Moon, after concluding a leveraged buyout, and running for mayor of a mid sized US City.
Mr. Bolton's Chief of Staff and mission manager stated that he would run on a simple platform of: "Redding up the City of Pittsburgh, lowering taxes, providing free mustache rides, and burning up upon reentry into Earth's atmosphere."
Mustache rides were down on Wall Street to $10/share on the news; shares of Wilfred Brimley were up by $.25 to $12.35.
Bank of New York CEO Thomas A. Renyi will serve as chairman of the board of Directors in the new Bank of New Bolton, as well as chairman of the Pittsburgh Urban Redevelopment Authority, and will get to do the countdown.
Now typically I don't read the Trib except for the really important stuff, so you'll forgive me if I missed this. I was beat to the punch over here and here and all around. Anyway...
A bullet in the brain might have cost Dominic J. Costa his job as Pittsburgh police chief, but that hasn't stopped him from considering a run for mayor...
Costa, 55, said he has a pool of potential backers with money, but declined to name them. He referred to Ravenstahl as a "temporary mayor" and said he believes voters have serious questions about Ravenstahl's lack of experience...
Dominic Costa's sister, Debra Costa, is a Penn Hills councilwoman. He has two cousins in the state Legislature -- Sen. Jay Costa, of Forest Hills, and Rep. Paul Costa, of Wilkins. Their brother, Guy Costa, is Pittsburgh's Public Works director. Another cousin, Ron Costa, is a district judge in Bloomfield...
Here's my theory: there's got to be a cloning facility out in Penn Hills where they're mass producing Costas* by the truckload. There's probably a whole horde of super secret Costas that have mutant abilities like the ability to grow facial hair really, really fast. Or perhaps they're preparing to form a Grand Army of the Republic for Supreme Chancellor Dennis Regan to beat back a threat from Darlene Harris. Or, most probably, this is taking ballot box stuffing to a whole new level: rather than creating scads of fake votES, the COSTAs are creating a horde of fake voteRS!
That being said, first person to Photoshop the above picture with Dom wearing a "Vote For Pedro's Dad" T-Shirt will get a shiny nickel from me.

Voodoo Circle are the stunning hard rock band from guitarist Alex Beyrodt (Silent Force). The band are just about to release their fantastic second album ‘Broken Heart Syndrome’ on AFM Records and we caught up with the bands mainman to discuss the making of the new release, his gear preferences and the outlook on Silent Force.
Alex, many thanks for speaking to us again.The second Voodoo Circle album ‘Broken Heart Syndrome’ is about to see release. We gave it a glowing recommendation, how has it been going down elsewhere?
So far I received almost only very good reviews. Only one or two silly ones…with comments like “the band tries to impress with Spanish guitars and ZZ Top riffs”….I will never understand some of those Internet mags and self proclaimed “Journalists”…sorry! I’m even more thankful for mags like yours, were people have knowledge!
Do you normally write a big batch of songs and pick the best, or have little riffs and melodies you piece together when in the studio?
I usually write and record the song in my studio. I always have around 20 songs ready. In fact we could easily record another Voodoo Circle album tomorrow.
Well, I always compose the music, then we decide which songs have the best feel and spirit. Then David visits me and we work together on the vocal melodies. After that we have another vote, we make an A and B list……A goes on the record, B will be redone in the future.
The writing process is done in my studio, yes. The rest we do in different studios. It is important to me to have good rooms, especially when recording the drums.
Whereas I felt there was a more nod to Malmsteen on the debut the new album sees a lot more Blackmore, is that a fair assessment?
Absolutely, on the new album I go way way back to my roots….and I enjoy it a lot. I am a melodic player, always have been. I love to play with a lot of feeling and also to let the music breath. In fact, Yngwie and me, we have the same roots….I scalloped my Strat by myself when I was 16, so did Yngwie…..I grew up with Purple, so did he. And, I am very proud to let you know that I just got back from touring with the “Rock meets Classic” show were I played 3 weeks every night with Ian Gillan…..a Best of Purple Set. That was a real highlight.
We are loving the tones you are coaxing out of your Strats. It sounds like a very stripped down approach; can you tell us what gear you used this time around?
David Readmans’ vocals are again superb. He sounds like he has chosen a darker tone this time around with some smokey Coverdale-isms. How did the pair of you work on the vocals, melodies, lyrics etc?
David came down to my studio at the Canary Islands and we worked for one week on the material, besides hitting the pool and the beach, drinking red wine hah…
I think I have never recorded a better rhythm guitar then on “Blind Man”. It has a very bluesy, Hendrix-ish vibe and this is a side of me not many people know. I love Power Blues, have you heard Philip Sayce…..I love him!
I know you were looking to get out on the road with the last release, can you see that happening this time round?
Well, we have been touring for around a week after the first release. We are recently looking for a tour to hop on….as 120 other bands too.
Are Silent Force over? On hiatus or what? It’s been ages since we’ve heard anything, is there likely to be any activity there down the line?
Well, DC is back in Royal Hunt, I am a constant member of Primal Fear, Voodoo Circle, plus I have my own effect pedal brand www.guitarslingereffects.com, Andre is drummer in Rage…we are all very busy. I am not saying we will never record another album but right now it has no priority….plus….let’s say….there are still some internal issues which have to be resolved first.
Ralf Scheepers’ first solo album. We all know Ralf as the slightly Halford inspired singer of the slightly Judas Priest inspired Primal Fear. So, what does Ralf have to offer on his solo debut? Does he branch out? Surprise us with exotic influences and unexpected plot twists?
Well… Not really. From beginning to end the album serves up solid, German heavy metal. With the odd nod to Judas Priest. Not unlike Primal Fear, come to think of it…Why Ralf felt the need to release a solo album that sounds so much like his regular band escapes me. Other than an ego boost, I can see little reason. On the other hand, it’s Ralf doing what he does best. Which is always a good idea.
For the record : this is a killer album. Everything fits perfectly into place. The songs are catchy, at times groovy, the riffs heavy and the solos shred. And of course Ralf is no slouch in the vocal department. His take on Priest’s “Before The Dawn” is eerily close to the original. |
114,382,505 | If you are someone who is interested in learning how to raise your own chickens and produce your own eggs, you are in the right place! The new fad of eating organic foods and knowing exactly where they came from is important and beneficial to health and sustainability. Raising chickens of your own is a great way to be sure the foods you are eating are antibiotic free, organic, and healthy. The downside is that this comes with vast responsibility. You need to take care of your chickens, feed them, and clean their cages. Their home, or chicken coop, is the location the chickens spend the most time in, so an adequate one should be used. Though you have many choices in your chicken coop, there are clear benefits of chicken nesting boxes. These nest boxes are durable, easy to clean and assemble, and decrease the number of broken eggs. Read on to learn more about why you should choose a chicken nesting box!
You’re going to want a nest box that is durable, and can last not only through the daily activity of the chickens, but also through all types of weather. Typically, a heavier box is made out of thicker metal, and will ultimately be more durable. These metal chicken nesting boxes tend to be more expensive, but you get what you pay for. Instead of having to repair or replace your nest box, it will last through many years and cycles of egg laying, plus with the increased durability, you can have more chickens at once! Since raising chickens is already a huge time consumer, you want to make sure the set up is as easy as possible. You know there are projects you would like to start but never do because the initial steps seem too difficult to overcome. Don’t let your nest box assembly hold you back! Find nesting boxes for sale that are easy to assemble or comes mostly assembled already.
Making sure your chicken nesting box is clean is crucial to the healthiness of your chickens and ultimately your food. Chicken nesting boxes are typically easy to clean and maintain, which means you can worry less about your animals and food and more about the new recipes you’ll try! Many nest boxes have different cleaning features, such as rollaway nest boxes that allow for easier cleaning, and reversibility which allows for different coop setups. This is one of the clear benefits of chicken nesting boxes, as they allow for more animal interaction and stimulation because they get to see different setups, and it is not hard work for you to do!
The feeling you get when you buy eggs from a grocery store and bring them home only to realize one or more are broken is horrible- and messy! Unfortunately, that is what comes with the territory of raising your own chickens. Broken eggs are common, but there are a few steps your chicken nesting box can take to reduce the impact these have. First, if they are easy to clean, as stated above, the broken eggs will not cause as much stress. You can take out the egg tray or clean the entire coop quickly and easily so your chickens remain clean and healthy. Also, look for a coop that has a roll out nest box. These allow you to pull out the eggs easily, reducing the possibility of breaking the eggs as you are retrieving them. The roll away nest box also keeps the eggs clean, as it is separate from the area the chickens live in.
There are many benefits of chicken nesting boxes, including the ones listed here. All benefits of chicken nesting boxes, as well as other types of chicken coops, should be considered before determining which is best for your lifestyle. As raising chickens and producing eggs becomes a more popular past time for individuals everywhere, the products will evolve to allow for easier cleaning and reduced broken eggs. Most importantly, have fun and enjoy the fresh eggs!

195,976,664 | These are just some of the adjectives used on Facebook and Twitter regarding McClatchy’s decision to shut down the copy desk and design desk at The News & Observer. That work will be done at an editing/design hub at The Charlotte Observer, which is also owned by McClatchy.
McClatchy is offering the N&O journalists a chance to keep their jobs, but they must move to Charlotte to do so. They have until July 1 to decide. So far, not many seem willing to uproot their lives and families to do that.
I spent the bulk of my newsroom career at the N&O, so this news hit me hard. I am sad for my former colleagues, and I worry about the quality of the newspaper that I still read every day. I am also angry that hard-working journalists must bear the brunt of McClatchy’s debt and business decisions.
N&O reporters, editors and designers (both past and present) have been expressing similar feelings on Facebook. Here’s a sampling of what’s being said there:
The News & Observer’s copy editors and designers are the most creative, smart, funny, reliable, kind and hard-working journalists you could ever hope to meet. They deserve better.
My heart’s with my editing and design friends left with the unenviable choice between job and community. And the work that is being sent isn’t merely “production.” It’s editing, design, news judgment, awareness of local community standards and interests. The chain doesn’t clearly understand that, or these positions would remain in Raleigh.
How can you have a newsroom without the excitement that rips through a copy desk when you’re getting out a paper with late-breaking news that’s important to people?
Another risky thing about having all the copy editing and page design for several newspapers in one place is that when a hurricane blows through and destroys the building or at least causes a lasting power outage, there is no desk in another location to pick up the work.
One good thing about this N&O nightside mess: When we have an inevitable get-together (picnic, anyone??), no one will have to take a raincheck because “someone has to put the paper out.”
Our desk will be lost in The Cloud; we’ll be lost in a fog. Readers and advertisers will feel the loss too.
It makes me sick to think that copy editing and page design are considered factory work, but I know that my colleagues and I are journalists and professionals.
I wish my friends at the N&O the best. I hope that they find fulfilling jobs where they can put their journalistic skills to good use.
I had three stints with McClatchy — one with Nando.net and the other two with The N&O. I wouldn’t work for another McClatchy paper if they offered me a six-figure yearly salary. This latest move of theirs is idiotic.
[…] and Mass Communication at UNC-Chapel Hill and writes The Editor’s Desk blog, offers a tribute to N&O copy editors and designers, whose jobs were eliminated in favor a production center in Charlotte this week (see the post […]
However, do you want to know how McClatchy could save money and not ruin peoples’ lives? They could STOP littering my property and the surrounding areas in Clayton with that horrid “free” newspaper called the Garner-Clayton Record. Seriously…they leave not one but TWO copies of it at my house every Wednesday! I have a double-sided driveway, and this obviously baffles them despite that lack of a mailbox at one of the entrances. Anyway, I have sent *several* emails and letters to them asking them to stop littering my property, and yet they persist. Who knows how much it costs to print so many copies of a “newspaper” consisting mainly of ad circulars. That’s not to mention the expense to pay someone to dump two copies on my driveway every week! With the price of fuel, it can’t be cheap.
They also dump copy after copy at obviously vacant homes with for-sale signs on the lawns. (HINT: If the knee-high grass isn’t a big enough clue that the house is vacant, the big, fat pile of plastic-wrapped Garner-Clayton Records and phone books SHOULD be. Have you not noticed the foreclosure problems here? HELLO!) How idiotic is it that they would continue such a “service” (and I use that term quite loosely) and fire talented people in such a bad economy? If The Garner-Clayton record is so highly prized by Garner-Clayton residents, let its fans pay a fee to receive it. I’m sure anyone who really wants it would buy a subscription to have it delivered weekly. Then they might have the money to keep editors and graphic designers on the payroll.
But that would make sense. Clearly, the people who own and manage McClatchy have NO sense. I swear I have no idea how such idiotic clowns even manage to stay in business! It’s one of the great mysteries of life.
Chic, I understand your frustration. Distribution of newspapers, however, is a First Amendment right. That said, distributors of free newspapers should respect requests of those who do not wish to receive them.
[…] a serious cost-cutting move and one I know saves substantial dollars. But it’s also a major quality-cutting move and another sign that newspapers are giving up under a new media economic […]
Especially since such requests could help them save money by 1) not printing so many copies and 2) eliminating expenditures for fuel to deliver unwanted paper. Why not just leave copies of the Garner-Clayton record in bins at strategic locations, much like The Independent does? Anyone who lives in the area could grab one if they wanted it. It seems to work quite well for the other free newspapers without all the litter! If it’s about offering a FREE newspaper, that’s the way to go. If it’s not, then charge for subscriptions to the Garner-Clayton Record and print & deliver it accordingly.
Add in the fact that the Garner-Clayton Record doesn’t *really* cover any news I can’t already find in The N&O, and it’s a complete and total financial waste – waste that could be use to retain talented editors and page designers for an actual newspaper and not a glorified ad circular for Garner and Clayton. It’s both wasteful and shameful. It’s so frustrating to see people lose jobs in this economy from what clearly amounts to poor financial management from McClatchy.
Sad. Institutional knowledge matters; community knowledge matters. The newspaper from which I was laid off in January, in Bremerton, Wash., now gets its last set of eyes each deadline in Corpus Christi, Tex. Not surprisingly, mistakes have become prolific.
Recently, that paper advertised to fill the job — night/weekend news editor — that I’d left, but with a twist: Combining it with the job of the recently departed web editor. So each night, from 3:30 to 1 a.m., that person must:
The next “big thing” will be the folding of web production staffs into already overworked and understaffed copy desks and the centralization of McClatchy web site programming to the MI mothership.
Dow Jonesin’: Adjusting to my internship and new apartment | Shaina Cavazos June 10, 2011 at 7:44 pm
[…] I suppose I will wrap this up now, coincidentally just as my first week is wrapping up. I look forward to continuing my internship and learning more about the Kankakee-Bourbonnais area. Just being somewhere new, geographically and journalistically, I am already doing a lot of thinking about the purpose of copy editing and the value editors still have. I can almost guarantee a future post about that topic, especially given the recent copy desks cuts across the country. […]
[…] A Tribute to N&O Copy Editors and Page Designers. The Raleigh newspaper, the News and Observer, closed its local copy desk this past week. A sad day in journalism. (The Editor’s Desk) […]
Always sad to hear of the continued decline of the newspaper industry and its concomitant negative effects on staff and readers alike. But note that it is, indeed, the entire industry that is collapsing. McClatchy may have made some bad moves in terms of its own stable of newspapers, but there are few publishers anywhere that are escaping the squeeze of production costs on one hand and the disappearance of print readers (and advertisers!) on the other. |
120,400,119 | Because I’ve been doing October Extras every day for the previous Screamfests, I usually missed a lot of the short films, because I’d be at home watching a movie I’ve seen before, ALL FOR YOU! But since I’m not doing them this year, I got my ass down to Mann’s in time for not one but two blocks of short films today. The following shines a brief light on the ones that caught my attention for one reason or another, though it’s worth noting that all of the films were quite professionally done (more than once I thought the next feature film had accidentally started). And I liked how many of them were on film (and I liked even more how many were PROJECTED on film as opposed to the usual DVD) - way to go FILMmakers!!!
Hands down my favorite of the bunch, this odd little piece feels like an extended sequence from a lost Jeunet/Caro film, and I mean that in the best way possible. It’s not really horror (though the sounds/sights of a bunch of fat guys slurping on a variety of food is always unsettling), but it is most certainly entertaining. And contains the best rhinoceros sight gag in cinematic history.
This film was quite good and featured some truly incredible special effects work. But I was alarmed at how it (and several other shorts) had a crew of about 50-75. If you have all of that manpower - why not just make a feature? Usually, the main purpose of a short is to show what you can pull off with limited resources and crew members, so you can display your skills and hopefully use it to expand into features; if you have dozens of people backing you up, and access to professional quality CGI and such, it’s kind of hard for me to judge what YOU (the director) specifically brought to the table. I'd almost rather see a poor effect or some questionable production value if it meant being able to see the inherent talent of a few people wearing multiple hats. That said, everyone obviously brought their A-game to the table for Harry, especially in the FX department (the main creature seemed lifted from Army of Darkness).
Full disclosure - this film was produced by my Bloody co-worker Tim Anderson. And for a journalist he’s a pretty damn good producer. The story was a tad familiar (maybe because it’s Saw season, but I am just tired of people waking up and having flashbacks to what got them into their current predicament) but the production value was top notch, and director Steven Shea did a fine job of linking the flashbacks to the present scenario in a cohesive, natural way. Also, it sounds like pointless praise, but the vampire teeth were spot on perfect, something that you can’t always say about even feature films. And they manage to pull off a dead dog joke without making me angry, so that’s laudable in and of itself.
This one felt like a feature idea compressed into a (kind of) short film. And if Kody Zimmermann got to make a feature, I would be first in line. It’s the usual sort of “Apprentice eventually resents his master” tale, but well-told, with some great humor both overt (main baddie Bolivar trying on the jogging pants of a guy he just killed) and subtle (the requisite Van Helsing type is named Thomas Holland). And even though actor Paul Hubbart is terrific as Bolivar, his look reminded me of the great Gary Cole, who would make a feature all the more entertaining. Maybe if the upcoming Cirque De Freak does well the studios will be rushing to get their own comedic vampire buddy movie going and Zimmermann will be ahead of the game.
There was a surprising dearth of actual SHORT films (most of them clocked in around 20 minutes). Every now it’s then it’s nice to see one that comes in around 5, with a setup and a punchline and not much else. Ironically, this one could have used another 30 seconds to explain where the two protagonists’ car was (they are lost in the desert), but you won’t really notice as the couple begins to fight over the last bottle of water, with horrific and then hilariously ironic results.
I am not a big fan of digital, as you know, but even I can’t deny how f-ing good this movie looked. It was shot with the much lauded Red camera, and when projected properly (as this was), the level of detail is simply phenomenal. When our lead makes herself a sandwich, you can see individual pieces of grain on the bread - that’s how crystal clear the image is. Black levels still need some improvement, but man, if you can’t shoot film, I don’t see how you can do any better than this. And the story was good too! I’m a big fan of the “what people do when they are among the only humans left” stories, which most of Paul Moore’s short depicts. And it’s rare to see a woman in the “last one standing” role, so that’s worth noting as well. And a darkly funny ending caps it off, putting this one squarely in the win column.
As I said earlier, there weren’t too many that were put together by the usual small crew, and even less were in the 5-8 minute range, but they were all well-made and largely well-acted, and I would welcome more shorts and/or a feature from any of the filmmakers represented here.
I really really hated that I had to miss this festival, and see that so has been one of the best (at least on the Short´s side)... oh well, there´s always next year...
I have to disagree with your justifications for making a short film over a feature. The primary reason should be that the story dictates the length. Some stories would just have to be needlessly padded to make feature length but are supremely suited to, say, 25 minutes. I would rather see tight storytelling and economy rather than filmic diarrhea. And if economic storytelling takes 150 pairs of hands to do it, well, as long as the result is worthwhile...
That said, I certainly don't look down on shorts as a way to go if your budget is less than grandiose. If you can edit and re-shape a feature idea and keep the thematic elements in place and not make it feel truncated, then major props to you!
Your facts on Tinglewood are incorrect. They actually had a crew of about 25 people, which is not excessive at all.
Oops, I might have confused it with another. I know one other one in that block had a feature-esque credit roll. Will fix, thanks!
"We get asked all the time...how can we believe this climate model?...How does that relate to the real world?"
Difficulty Rating: Easy . Academic Discipline: Earth Science . Keywords: career in science, trusting science, uncertainty
In this clip from a 2009 interview, climate modeler Jerry Meehl explains how climate models work, what they are used for, and what we can learn from them. This interview was conducted by AGCI during a workshop on Advanced Climate Modeling and Decision-Making Support of Climate Services, held in Aspen, Colorado.
Dr. Jerry (Gerald) Meehl is a Senior Scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. His research interests include studying the interactions between El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the monsoons of Asia; identifying possible effects on global climate of changing anthropogenic forcings, such as carbon dioxide, as well as natural forcings, such as solar variability; and quantifying possible future changes of weather and climate extremes in a warmer climate. He serves as chair of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council Climate Research Committee, chair of the Scientific Advisory Committee for the International Pacific Research Center at the University of Hawaii, co-chair of the Community Climate System Model Climate Change Working Group, and co-chair of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) Working Group on Coupled Models (WGCM).
What is one thing that makes Dr. Meehl optimistic about society's ability to address the issue of climate change?
What is one concern that Dr. Meehl expresses about his perception of the general public's opinion of climate change?
Models come in a variety of forms in addition to computer models. They can be as simple as an equation for how fast a car will go from one place to another or a terrarium with a lamp used to demonstrate plants responses to different temperatures, and are used by a variety of people from physicists to ecologists to engineers and others. Using the following science journal template (a 7 part process) to answer the questions that follow and learn more about models:
Write down or sketch what you think answers the question based on your own understanding without looking anything up.
Devise your own strategy for digging deeper (ask a scientist, check out university and government agency websites like NASA and NOAA, go to the library, design and conduct an experiment, etc.) until you're satisfied the answer makes sense to you.
(Optional) Create a model of your own. How well does it reflect what would happen in real life? What does it represent well and where is it an unsuccessful representation?
At the 2009 workshop where this interview was conducted, Jerry Meehl also gave a scientific presentation: Issues for Climate Prediction and Climate Services. The complete PowerPoint for this presentation can be found on the AGCI website. |

There's even a built-in chat that supports ICQ, Jabber, Yahoo, and most of the other popular IM clients.
eM Client is so loaded with features that it's easy to forget it only supports two accounts. While this could be a burden for some, others won't have a problem. If you're happy with that limitation, this program rewards you with a stylish layout and plenty of control over your accounts.
Fortnite has the better community?! Fortnite has the MOST toxic community any game has every had, EVER, but yet it still has the better community?!
Without pubg, fortnite will never popular Without fortnite, pubg will never created Do you wanna know why? Because the pubg developer call the epic games to help them. Because epic games had UI or Unreal engine so they help each other, thats why pubg created Now for fornite, epic create fortnite since 2011 but its not too popular and they created fortnite 2 still not popular and they create fortninte save the world, it become popular but not too much, epic games and bluehole comapany help each other and after created pubg 2017 epic games got idea and ask bluehole they will create a battle royale like pubg, bluehole accept epic games deal (i guess...) that's why they create fortnite battle royale
Shut up Its just a game Are u can make games use real engine 4? U need many money to make game so RESPECT ALL GAME!!
Its the same game but for diffrent generations! Fortnitw for kids! Pubg for adults! Its simple as that#
I had a try at Fortnite only because I'm not yet prepared to pay for games. I tried two rounds, but found out fortnite was just too much for my poor little laptop. I have no real intention of playing it again because I don't feel it's really my style. I imagine having to build fortresses would be a nightmare for me, not only because it's more controls to have to get my head around, but also because it would make me more of a target and the circle would eventually flush me out of it anyway. Then I'm just going to get annoyed when I get killed from someone else's fortress. So when I get the first chance (and a more powerful computer) I'm going to get myself PUBG.
in my opinion fortnite is better since in pubg you cant have epic build battles which makes fortnite much better in my opinion also its free
Tbh PUBG mobile is the only battle royale I can play (besides from ROS, creative destruction, free fire, and many more)
fortnite is played by many superstars, footballers,youtubers but pubg is mostly played by people who cant afford and ios or a high class pc
In reality Fortnite is played mostly by little kids on consoles who cant afford payed games and Pubg is mostly played by people with gaming PCs
I like like Fortnite more than PUBG. What I *don't* like is whiny middle schoolers on my damn team. #FortBattleGrounds for life
What about call of duty and modern combat? You added just kids frontline. Who says frontline is childish then he is mental spyco escaped from hospital and run for survive like pubg. Pubg is actually unreal. But frontline is real. Because can you see pubg in your surrounding world? But frontline can be seen all time in real life. Pubg just a game.
for me the quality of mechanics matter and the overall smooth gameplay so i choose counter strike ..
Tl;dr: PUBG wins by one.It was 2-3. And PUBG won only so they could make that ‘winner winner chicken dinner’ joke |

"I beg of you make me into a bird with green and purple feathers like yours!" implored Iktomi, tired now of playing the brave in beaded buckskins. The peacock then spoke to Iktomi: "I have a magic power." My touch will change you in a moment into the most beautiful peacock if you can keep one condition." "Yes! yes!" shouted Iktomi, jumping up and down, patting his lips with his palm, which caused his voice to vibrate in a peculiar fashion. "Yes! yes! I could keep ten conditions if only you would change me into a bird with long, bright tail feathers. Oh, I am so ugly! I am so tired of being myself! Change me! Do!" -from "Iktomi and the Fawn" The Lakota writer Zitkala-Sa, or "Red Bird"-the pen name of Native American author, teacher, and activist GERTRUDE SIMMONS BONNIN (1876-1938)-is renowned for being among the first tellers of contemporary Native American history, culture, and experience in her own voice, unaltered by outside influences. Here, she gathers legends and stories she learned as a child on the Yankton Reservation. This replica of the first 1901 edition includes the tales of: [ "Iktomi and the Ducks" [ "Iktomi's Blanket" [ "Iktomi and the Muskrat" [ "The Badger and the Bear" [ "Shooting of the Red Eagle" [ "Dance in a Buffalo Shell" [ "The Toad and the Boy" [ "Iya, the Camp-Eater" [ and more.
Zitkala-?a (Red Bird) (1876?1938), also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was one of the best-known and most influential Native Americans of the twentieth century. Born on the Yankton Sioux Reservation, she remained true to her indigenous heritage as a student at the Boston Conservatory and a teacher at the Carlisle Indian School, as an activist in turn attacking the Carlisle School, as an artist celebrating Native stories and myths, and as an active member of the Society of American Indians in Washington DC. All these currents of Zitkala-?a?s rich life come together in this book, which presents her previously unpublished stories, rare poems, and the libretto ofThe Sun Dance Opera.
This new anthology of short fiction by Native Americans features a wide range of contemporary writers. After a brief introductory section that includes early-20th-century stories by Pauline Johnson, Charles A. Eastman, John M. Oskison, and others, the collection focuses on authors who came to prominence in the decades following World War II.
Artfully woven by master storytellers and told to generations of Native American children around glowing lodge fires, here are 19 enchanting tales rife with legend, myth, and fairy tale magic.

THE legends contained in this volume are relics of the USA's once virgin soil. These and many others are the tales the American Indians loved so much to hear beside the night fire. For these people the personified elements and other spirits played in a vast world right around the center fire of the wigwam. Iktomi, the snare weaver, Iya, the Eater, and Old Double-Face are not wholly fanciful creatures. In this volume you will find fourteen stories from the Dakotas. Stories of Iktomi and the Ducks, the Badger and the Bear, Iktomi and the Coyote, the Toad and the Boy, the Shooting of the Red Eagle and more. Under an open sky, nestling close to the earth, the old Dakota story- tellers have told these legends time and again. While it is easy to recognize such legends without difficulty, the renderings may vary in little incidents. Here, Zitkala-Sa has tried to transplant the native spirit of these tales -- root and all -- into the English language, since America in the last few centuries has acquired a second tongue. So now, the old legends of North America now belong quite as much to the blue-eyed little patriot as to the land's black-haired aborigine. And when they are grown tall may they, in their wisdom, not lack interest in a further study of American Indian folklore. A study which so strongly suggests the USA's near kinship with the rest of humanity and points a steady finger toward the great brotherhood of mankind. So settle down in a comfy chair and journey back to a time when these stories were told around campfires, to the delight of young and old alike. 33% of the net sale from this book will be donated to the American Indian Education Fund.

Red Bird, Red Power tells the story of one of the most influential—and controversial—American Indian activists of the twentieth century. Zitkala-Ša (1876–1938), also known as Gertrude Simmons Bonnin, was a highly gifted writer, editor, and musician who dedicated her life to achieving justice for Native peoples. Here, Tadeusz Lewandowski offers the first full-scale biography of the woman whose passionate commitment to improving the lives of her people propelled her to the forefront of Progressive-era reform movements. Lewandowski draws on a vast array of sources, including previously unpublished letters and diaries, to recount Zitkala-Ša’s unique life journey. Her story begins on the Dakota plains, where she was born to a Yankton Sioux mother and a white father. Zitkala-Ša, whose name translates as “Red Bird” in English, left home at age eight to attend a Quaker boarding school, eventually working as a teacher at Carlisle Indian Industrial School. By her early twenties, she was the toast of East Coast literary society. Her short stories for the Atlantic Monthly (1900) are, to this day, the focus of scholarly analysis and debate. In collaboration with William F. Hanson, she wrote the libretto and songs for the innovative Sun Dance Opera (1913). And yet, as Lewandowski demonstrates, Zitkala-Ša’s successes could not fill the void of her lost cultural heritage, nor dampen her fury toward the Euro-American establishment that had robbed her people of their land. In 1926, she founded the National Council of American Indians with the aim of redressing American Indian grievances. Zitkala-Ša’s complex identity has made her an intriguing—if elusive—subject for scholars. In Lewandowski’s sensitive interpretation, she emerges as a multifaceted human being whose work entailed constant negotiation. In the end, Lewandowski argues, Zitkala-Ša’s achievements distinguish her as a forerunner of the Red Power movement and an important agent of change.

privatizing the land rural political economy in post communist and socialist societies routledge studies of societies in transition
Privatizing the Land provides an overview of reforms in the state socialist agrarian systems, especially during the 1970s and 1980s in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union. Using empirical evidence, the contributors provide a balanced assessment of how agrarian economies performed in different communist countries. The Soviet and Eastern European experience is contrasted with reforms in China, Vietnam and Cuba to provide the first comprehensive account of agricultural restructuring after the collapse of communism in Europe and Asia.
Since the late 1980s the experiences of work and employment in the former communist world have been profoundly transformed. Work, Employment and Transition brings together a series of essays by leading international scholars which highlights the varied and complex forms that work and employment restructuring are taking in the post-soviet world, and makes important theoretical contributions to our understanding of these transformations.
An examination of political, social and economic development in Poland since the summer of 1989, with the main focus on democratization.
This book focuses on the recent political and economic events in the former Yugoslavia. The author presents a clear, detailed and accessible breakdown of the developments in: Bosnia-Hercegovina, Croatia, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Slovenia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (Serbia and Montenegro). The role of the West in the more unstable countries of the Former Yugoslavia has been reassessed in the light of the terrorist attacks on the United States and the fall of Afghanistan. The involvement of the US, in particular, in countries affected by ethnic strife has been brought under scrutiny, as has the role of international military and civilian involvement in maintaining peace and rebuilding economies and political structures. This book contributes to these debates by providing a unique level of coverage of economic and political developments in former Yugoslav countries. It will provide an invaluable source of reference for all those interested in transitional and developing countries.

The rural reforms in many post-soviet countries produced a number of unintended consequences. The reforms were guided by ideals of romanticized society of family farmers; they were to be the basis of the rural middle-class, together with owners of non-agricultural SME's, acting as guardians of democracy and common good. The guidelines were set by advisers from World Bank and IMF, who preferred family farms or individual farms over the collective enterprises. In most countries the result was nothing like those envisaged by reformers. Instead of efficient and productive family farms, the result was almost complete de-capitalization of agriculture and collapse of production. The reform was destructive not only as far as production is concerned, but more importantly to rural communities. Social ties, which were based on the collective farm as the main economic and social resource for local community, were eroded. Only from the turn of this decade some early stages have been visible of new developments in economic and social life in post-socialist rural areas. The result is that now, more than fifteen years since the beginning of agricultural reforms, the key agricultural producers in Russia, Baltic countries and elsewhere are very large capitalist farms or large agricultural holding companies.This anthology is based on the presentations given at the 5th Aleksanteri Conference 10 - 11 November 2005 in Helsinki, Finland, and it is devoted to the analysis of some of these issues. The volume is divided into two parts, in the first part the focus is on the patterns and problems of transformation of post-socialist agriculture and agricultural policies while the second part is focuses mainly on efforts to revitalize rural communities and issues of local development.
Wired.com published a piece about 7 Essential Skills You Didn’t Learn in College. A few of the skills mentioned really resonated with me because of my own experience out in the workplace, and especially with the world of entrepreneurship. Make certain you also check out the reading lists embedded with the post’s pages.
Statistical Literacy: You may be in the Disraeli camp regarding statistics, but you certainly should be able to recognize how a statistic is gathered and presented. This skill carries so much importance these days whether it’s with the use of polls and focus groups, increasing efficiency in operations or recognizing trends versus noise in your marketspace. Unfortunately, most math instructors avoid statistics and most statistics instructors make the material seem absolutely painful. All the more reason to bone up and outperform the pack.
Remix culture: Not only do artists start from existing works, but so do engineers, computer programmers, and designers. The adaptation and combination of existing efforts into new and innovative products and services adds tremendous value.

Applied Cognition: This one is huge for me. Being a follower of behavioral economics, I’m pretty convinced that the whole “rational actor” idea upon which much economic theory relies is a bad joke. We’re much more reptile-brained that we’d like to admit. Many of our everyday choices stem not from common sense, but from behavioral biases and emotional cues. That’s not a bad thing, per se. We do, however, need to recognize that better choice may exist than the ones we’re inclined to make. We also should recognize that many corporations out there are well aware of this situation, and act accordingly to capitalize on our tendencies.

126,979,222 | Any type of risk can cause a disruption at a firm and since risk arises in the course of ordinary activities, it can never be completely eliminated. But the risk that a disruption (at a firm, in a transfer system) causes widespread difficulties at other firms, or in other market segments; i.e. the risk of contagion, must be contained and possible eliminated. Why? Because such a failure could cause, at the extreme, a complete breakdown in a financial system due to the extensive linkages of today's markets. The risk of contagion arising from a disruption at a firm or in one market is known as systemic risk.
Systemic safety is the flip side of systemic risk. There is widespread acceptance that regulators and central banks have an important role to play in promoting systemic safety and protecting against systemic risk. Their conundrum is to weigh the merits of measures promoting systemic safety against the foregone benefits of the activities that would be curtailed or eliminated by such measures.
That systemic safety can be threatened by the failure of one small institution was vividly demonstrated in September 1998 when the US Federal Reserve Bank organised a rescue of a hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Management, because it feared the fund's collapse would spark off havoc in the financial markets. LTCM had market exposures of over $200 billion while its capital base was about $4.8 billion.
In its report on the LTCM debacle, the US President�s Working Group on Financial Markets notes, "the events in global financial markets in the summer and fall of 1998 demonstrated that excessive leverage can greatly magnify the negative effects of any event or series of events on the financial system as a whole." The group continues, "The principal issue arising out of the events�is how to constrain excessive leverage. By increasing the chance that problems at one financial institution could be transmitted to other institutions, excessive leverage can increase the likelihood of a general breakdown in the functioning of financial markets."
The report, titled President�s Working Group on Financial Markets on "Hedge Funds, Leverage, and the Lessons of Long-Term Capital Management" (1999) recommends a number of measures to constrain such excessive leverage. These measures are:
Public companies, including financial institutions, should publicly disclose additional information about their material financial exposures to significantly leveraged institutions, including hedge funds.
Regulators should promote the development of more risk-sensitive but prudent approaches to capital adequacy.
Regulators need expanded risk assessment authority for the unregulated affiliates of broker-dealers and futures commission merchants.
The US Congress should enact provisions proposed by the President�s Working Group to support financial contract netting.
Regulators should consider stronger incentives to encourage offshore financial centres to comply with international standards.
The thought that a mere hedge fund, albeit one that was highly-leveraged, could have caused financial melt-down prompted the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision to evaluate the risks that could result from the activities of highly-leveraged institutions (HLI), with particular regard to their interactions with banks. "Banks' Interactions with Highly Leveraged Institutions (1999)" and "Sound Practices for Banks' Interactions with Highly Leveraged Institutions (1999)" were the reports that resulted from the Basle Committee's working group investigations. The Committee emphasised that many of the systemic risks associated with the activities of HLIs could be addressed through better risk management at the counterparty level. Prudent internal risk management could limit or reduce the leverage of HLIs, and thus limit the riskiness of their portfolios, As such, it might also reduce the potential for systemic disruptions resulting from a rapid deleveraging or liquidation of positions, and could contribute to greater stability in the financial system as a whole.
In addition to promoting sound internal risk management practices, the report suggests that banking regulators could review existing regulatory standards to ensure that these did not provide banks with distorted incentives in dealing with HLIs. The Committee also noted that in some cases, supervisors could impose more stringent capital requirements than those of the Basle Accord, or rely on a differentiated supervisory treatment of individual banks, depending on the riskiness of their particular lines of business. To encourage increased transparency on the part of HLIs, the Committee suggested a credit register for bank loans to HLIs.
The pace of change in financial markets, which has become increasingly international, complex and inter-linked, has compounded the delicate task of ensuring systemic safety. A major financial institution which operates in only one jurisdiction or sells only one type of product may soon be a thing of the past. The future financial institution will be a global creature which has many implications for systemic risk, and thus systemic safety. Their international operations are so large and complex that they have outgrown the national accounting, legal and supervisory systems on which the safety and soundness of individual institutions and the financial systems currently rely.
The major challenge facing guardians of systemic safety is how to adapt national supervisory tools to cope with these financial giants. One of the main regulatory responses so far has been the increased co-operation among regulators and central bankers, resulting in a number of important agreements. The Windsor Declaration (May 1995) is one of the best examples of this new regulatory spirit. The Declaration called upon supervisors to co-operate when responding to market disruptions, and to share information regarding large exposures in individual markets. The Windsor Declaration was followed by the Declaration on Co-operation and Supervision of International Futures Exchanges and Clearing Organisations and an accompanying Memorandum of Understanding among 15 supervisors. The Declaration outlined the type of events which would trigger information requests and sharing: a large decrease in a member's capital position, large proprietary trading positions, and a concentration of positions in any futures or options contract. (See regulatory co-operation for more details on these Declarations and other relevant documents on this aspect of systemic safety.)
Systemic safety issues have also occupied centre-stage at recent G-7 meetings at Halifax, Canada; Lyon, France and Denver, USA. Communiqués from each of these meetings have called for measures to strengthen banking regulation and supervision, in particular deeper co-operation among supervisors of global firms to "promote the development of globally-integrated safeguards, standards, transparency and systems necessary to monitor and contain risks" and improved supervision in the emerging market economies. The Basle Committee on Banking Supervision's paper entitled, "Core Principles for Effective Banking Supervision" (1997) is the first of the banking regulators' response.
The paper sets out 25 basic principles that are required for an effective supervisory system. They are:
A group including G-10 bank supervisors and representatives from Chile, China, the Czech Republic, HongKong, Mexico, Russia and Thailand prepared the document. Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Poland and Singapore were also closely associated with the work.
The Basle Committee stresses that these principles are minimum requirements and need to be supplemented by specific measures to address particular conditions and risks of individual countries. Supervisory and other public authorities in all countries and internationally are expected to use these core principles when reviewing their existing supervisory arrangements and to initiate programmes to address any deficiencies as quickly as is practical within their legal authority. The consultative paper also contains explanations of the various methods which supervisors can use when implementing these principles. The Principles have been designed to be verifiable by supervisors, regional supervisory groups and the market at large. The Basle Committee will monitor the progress made by individual countries in implementing the Principles. It is suggested that the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank use the Principles to help individual countries strengthen their supervisory arrangements in connection with work aimed at promoting macroeconomic and financial stability. Implementation of the Principles and the effectiveness of bank supervisory regimes was reviewed at the International Conference of Banking Supervisors in October 1998 and biennially thereafter. At the October meeting, the Basle Committtee decided to have a document prepared for use in compliance assessments. "Core Principles Methodology" (1999) is the result.
The document is divided into three chapters. Chapter 1 outlines the background to the Core Principles and explains the need for their timely and effective implementation. It also describes under what conditions assessments should be made, as well as the preconditions for effective banking supervision that should be taken into account when forming an assessment. Chapter 2 looks at the considerations regarding the conduct of an assessment and how the results should be compiled and presented. The chapter emphasises that the assessment must consider a chain of related requirements, which may encompass laws, prudential regulation, supervisory guidelines, on-site examinations and off-site analysis, supervisory reporting and public disclosures, and evidence of enforcement or non-enforcement.
Chapter 3 lists the 25 core principles. All significant criteria which are relevant for compliance are enumerated. Two categories of criteria are used: 'essential criteria' which are those elements that should be present in individual countries in ordered for supervision to be considered effective and 'additional criteria' which are elements that further strengthen supervision and which all countries should strive to implement.
Both reports build on an earlier report by the Basle Committee and the Offshore Group of Banking Supervisors, entitled "The Supervision of Cross-Border Banking" (1996). The working group that wrote this report was set up to consider some of the problems which arose from the implementation of the 1992 minimum standards for cross-border supervision. The Basle Committee's 1992 minimum standards established four main principles:
The 1996 report dealt with two main problems. The first relates to information access; i.e. home supervisors having difficulty obtaining all the information they require for effective consolidated supervision. The second relates to host and home supervisors having no common standards to judge each other's supervisory work and gaps in supervision posed by 'shell branches' and 'sister institutions'. The document sets out the conditions attached to greater information -sharing between home and host supervisors. For example, it states that home supervisors do not routinely need to know the identity of individual depositors and that all information exchanged is subject to strict confidentiality. To ensure that all cross-border banking operations are subject to effective home and host supervision, the report sets out a set of principles, in Annex B, which can be used by host supervisors as a checklist to determine whether home supervisors are meeting the 1992 Minimum Standards. The checklist gives pointers on how to check whether the home country supervisor has the power to exercise global oversight and the abilities to perform consolidated supervision. A fuller explanation of the 1992 standards are contained in "Minimum Standards for the Supervision of International Banking Groups and their Cross-Border Establishments (1992)."
The G-30, a private think tank, believes that one of the best ways of reducing systemic risk is to develop a global framework of comprehensive and effective management controls which global institutions should use to manage risk. This framework should be developed by major financial institutions in cooperation with supervisors. In its report on systemic risk, "Global Institutions, National Supervision and Systemic Risk" (1997), the G-30 argues that such a framework must start from the premise that "the fundamental responsibility of ensuring financial stability of financial institutions, and thereby limiting systemic risk, rests with the Board and management of global institutions themselves�It also implies that supervisors will be readier to rely on institutions that they supervise, and that the institutions themselves will accept the responsibility to improve the structure of, and discipline imposed by, their internal control functions." Such an approach also presumes a two-tier supervisory structure because smaller, less geographically diversified institutions will have a less elaborate regime imposed upon them.
Other recommendations contained in the G-30 report, which examines the potential for systemic risk arising from the gap between the global operations of financial institutions and markets and nationally-based systems of accounting, reporting, law and supervision are:
Global institutions should subject their worldwide operations to expanded review by a single, independent, external audit firm or firm group, and should agree upon more consistent and meaningful disclosure of financial and risk information on a global, consolidated basis;
Assessment of legal risk in international transactions should take into account the enforceability of contract provisions, including netting, and the effectiveness of insolvency procedures. To reduce such risk, countries should be encouraged to strengthen legal standards;
National and functional supervisors should agree upon a lead coordinator for global firms, apply a global review framework to all parts of a financial group and agree upon consistent reporting requirements for global firms;
Supervisors should formulate guidelines for risk management in organized markets and at institutions that are part of the market infrastructure.
The emergence of financial conglomerates has also prompted supervisors to co-operate across sectors. The Tripartite Group, an informal group of banking, securities and insurance supervisors from the G-10 countries issued in 1995 a document titled "The Supervision of Financial Conglomerates. Discussion Documents". The paper sets out the principles by which financial conglomerates should be supervised, recognising that many financial conglomerates include entities, which are not regulated. Among its recommendations is a call for group-based risk assessment of firms which are supervised on a solo basis. This assessment could be both quantitative, i.e. capital requirements on a consolidated basis (for more details see Section III entitled 'financial conglomerates' in the overview on capital adequacy) or qualitative, i.e collecting relevant information about other group companies. This assessment could be both quantitative (capital requirements on a consolidated basis) or qualitative (collecting relevant information about other group companies.) The Group puts forward the idea of having one regulator with primary responsibility for group-based risk assessment. This regulator is likely to emerge as the lead regulator when serious concerns arise about a financial conglomerate but still has no authority to take over or interfere with the regulator in charge of the solo entity operating within the latter's jurisdiction. The lead regulator's main role is to ensure that relevant regulatory information about the conglomerate is shared promptly among other concerned regulators.
The Tripartite Group also recommends that supervisors monitor intra-group exposures, and impose limits if necessary on such exposures within the regulated entity. Regulators must also understand the corporate and managerial structure of the financial conglomerates and be prepared to acquire powers to prevent the manipulation of group structures, which make effective regulation difficult.
The safety and soundness of a financial system requires the imposition of minimum capital requirements to cover the various risks taken on by financial institutions. The 1988 Capital Accord was the first attempt to standardise capital requirements for banks. The 8% minimum promulgated in "International Convergence Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" addressed credit risk. Eight years later, the Basle Committee agreed on minimum capital charges for market risk. The "Amendment to the Capital Accord to Incorporate Market Risks" (1996) is a watershed in the way capital requirements are set because it allows banks to use their internal models to calculate capital charges for market risk. This is the first time banking regulators have moved from simple percentages to sophisticated in-house models to determine regulatory capital. (See capital adequacy for more details on the relevant documents.)
The failure of a major institution has always been considered one of the main sources of systemic risk. The February 1995 collapse of Barings, the oldest merchant bank in the United Kingdom, qualified as one of the triggers capable of producing a major systemic shock. It did not, partly because the relevant regulatory bodies worked together to contain the shock tremors resulting from Barings' collapse. The root cause of Barings' ruin lay in its complete lack of internal controls. The Board of Banking Supervision Inquiry into the Circumstances of the Collapse of Barings (1995), thus shows indirectly how important robust risk management systems are to promoting systemic safety. (see also 'Not Just One Man.') But even before the collapse of Barings, banking regulators and practitioners knew that sound internal risk control was essential for the prudent operation of a financial institution, and thus to promoting systemic safety. Many risk control guidelines have been issued, but the report which has shaped current best practices in risk control is "Risk Management Guidelines for Derivatives" (1994). This seminal work was written by the Basle Committee on Banking Supervision and the International Organisation of Securities Commissions.
There is no doubt that a serious hiccup in settlement procedures, or a failure in a settlement system, could be a major source of systemic risk. This is because the amounts at stake are so huge. The Bank for International Settlements estimates that the average daily turnover of global currencies in spot, outright forward and foreign exchange swap contracts is US$1 1/4 trillion; the resulting large exposures raise significant concerns for individual banks and the international finance system as a whole. In March 1996, the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems of the central banks of the G-10 countries, issued a report "Settlement Risk in Foreign Exchange Transactions" which detailed practical steps for dealing with currency settlement risk. It also called upon individual banks and industry groups to improve current practices, and design mechanisms to lessen settlement risk, or face further regulatory action on risk management in the foreign exchange area. (for more details see settlement risk)
In May 1997, the same Committee issued a report to clarify the role of robust clearing and settlement arrangements in promoting systemic safety. "Clearing Arrangements for Exchange-Traded Derivatives" discusses the sources and types of risks to clearing houses. It singled out potential vulnerabilities in several areas: inadequate financial resources to withstand member defaults or extreme price movements; lack of mechanisms to monitor and control intra-day risks; and weaknesses in money settlement arrangements, including the risk of unwinding provisional funds transfers late in the day. (for more details see market integrity)
A report to enhance central banks' understanding of the economic and monetary policy roles of the repurchase agreement (repo) markets discusses the systemic risk implications of repos. In " Implications of repo markets for central banks " (1999), the Committee on the Global Financial System notes that repo markets tend to reduce the systemic risk associated with shocks transmitted from uncollateralised interbank and money markets in two ways. The first arises from the fact that repos are collateralised. Secondly, repos help maintain institutions' access to liquidity when market shocks occur precisely because they are collateralised (and so reduce counterparty risk worries.) But the report also says that repo markets may contribute to systemic risk in three ways. The use of collateral in repos withdraws securities from the pool of assets that would be available to unsecured creditors in the event of a bankruptcy. Another concern is that the close linkage of repo markets to securities markets means that they may help transmit shocks originating from this source. Finally, repos allow institutions to use leverage to take larger positions in financial markets, which could add to systemic risk if the institutions concerned have inadequate risk control systems.

Bangkok, Thailand May 2, 2011 - It has already been illustrated that the corporate-financier oligarchs have committed themselves to an irreversible global confrontation by planning and executing the "Arab Spring" which is now quickly escalating into a regional military campaign. Concurrently, the West is stabbing at both Russia's peripheries in Eastern Europe as well as China's "String of Pearls" resting along Southeast Asia, Central Asia and into the Middle East.
While the focus of the world is myopically fixated on Northern Africa and the Middle East, with the immediate goal being the collapse of Syria and Iran, more astute observers have noted the building pressure on Belarus, Pakistan, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and even Beijing itself.
The implications of "Osama Bin Laden" being "killed" in the heart of Pakistan, just miles from the nation's capital of Islamabad, are dire indeed. The immediate knee-jerk reaction by the naive public is a sigh of relief, most likely ignorant of how truly close the US and Pakistan are to going to war. The Hindu of India recently published an article in the wake of the farcical announcement of Bin Laden's death titled, "End of the Fourth Afghan War: New Delhi." In it, they suggest this recent, fortuitous development serves as an opportunity for the United States to withdraw from Afghanistan and allow Pakistan to reconcile with India over its role in supporting rouge networks of "terrorists" within its territory.
Despite this admittedly alluring optimism, the Indian-Pakistani border is already being put on high alert. CNN's article, "The U.S. anticipates al Qaeda 'threats of retaliation'" also alludes to darker undertones of the supposed elation we are all expected to feel over Osama Bin Laden's second reported death. With Bin Laden's body being jettisoned out to sea - an unimaginable act of irresponsibility by the US after claiming to have killed the most notorious fugitive in human history - it is becoming clear that this stunt is being designed to lead into something much bigger.
Brazen admissions earlier this year by corporate-financier funded think-tanks suggested that the US should fuel Baluchi separatists in southwest Pakistan to carve the nation into pieces in direct response to Pakistan's growing relationship with China. The same Baluchi militants have already been trained, equipped, and unleashed by the US across Iran's eastern border. Confrontations between America and Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) have been steadily increasing in response to the CIA's escalating drone campaigns in Pakistani territory. US officials have been openly using the attacks and the subsequent public outrage directed toward the Pakistani government as a means of extorting concessions and driving a wedge between the government and the ISI.
With "Bin Laden's" death dubiously reported by the US, we already see the media implicating Pakistan for harboring the elusive "terrorist mastermind." LA Times' "Suspicions grow over whether Pakistan aided Osama bin Laden" makes it clear enough that the fallout from the Raymond Davis incident and the resulting hostility between the US and ISI may only be compounded by this latest development.
The West's strategy to disrupt China's "String of Pearls" is already being implemented via the engineered "Arab Spring." The next logical steps are disrupting, destabilizing, and/or deposing the governments of Belarus, Pakistan, Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, and China itself. How exactly the US attempts to escalate or further manipulate its growing conflict with Pakistan is a matter of speculation but most likely will involve creating unprecedented unrest within Pakistan and perhaps involving India as well. It is unimaginable, barring a catastrophic false-flag attack on the US, for the US itself to justify or engage in any sort of armed conflict with Pakistan without Baluchi rebels or Indian troops bearing the brunt of such a conflict.
We are bearing witness to an increasingly desperate and reckless global gambit descending into the realm of the truly surreal. We must stand vigilant against further attempts to manipulate public perception in order to coax us further down this dark and doomed path. This includes vigilance against false-flag operations against both America and nations like India who require substantial provocation to take up this lost cause. There is no going back, no retreat for the globalists if they choose to escalate rather than defuse their crusade from this point forward. |
19,239,456 | Waiting for election day news can be excruciating. A similar agony comes with the wait for results after a medical test, or when you send an email with bad news and fear how the recipient will react. Here are some tips that can help you stay mentally strong while you wait it out.
This is the best reason not to swear off social media (besides, of course, the fact that some of us need it for our jobs.) Your friends can help you keep your mind in a good place throughout the day, and tools like Social Fixer can reduce the amount of stress-inducing news you have to wade through to talk to them.
Election Day is over, and we all know what that means: tomorrow you'll wake up to an onslaught …
One fun strategy is to ask your friends for pictures of cute animals, or for memes that make you laugh. I know a group of people who get through rough days by sending each other the most unflattering selfies they can come up with. This trick is two-pronged: the pictures will make you smile, but you’ll also feel better knowing that your buddies took a minute out of their day to help you out.
For the moment when the news is revealed, consider who you’ll want to have around. Bring a trusted friend or family member to your doctor’s appointment, or plan to call them right after a meeting where you might get some tough news. For election night, consider a watch party with like-minded buddies who can celebrate or commiserate with you, as needed.
While a one-day worry isn’t the same as chronic anxiety, a lot of the coping tools are the same. Mindfulness meditation can reduce how stressed you feel, and can reduce the amount of time you spend thinking about the things that stress you out, according to the American Psychological Association.
In the long term, a meditation habit can help you temper your emotional reaction to things that upset you. Overall, as a Journal of the American Medical Association review concluded, meditation isn’t a magic bullet, but it has a lot of advantages with few to no downsides.
If you’re new to meditation, don’t worry—there are lots of easy ways to begin. For example, you can take ten deep breaths and ignore everything besides your own breathing and counting. Or you can take a minute to watch your thoughts go by, and label any emotions that pop up (“Hmm, I’m overwhelmed”). Meditation apps like Headspace and Calm, both available for iOS and Android, can guide you through a meditation session if you’re too anxious to decide what to do. Or, if you need help now, just click on the video above for a soothing session.
Regular exercise can work as well as medication for some people with anxiety. Even in a short-term situation, it can be a great go-to. Set a one-minute timer and do lunges or push-ups until it beeps; chances are, afterwards you’ll feel better.
Exercise reduces your body’s levels of the stress hormones adrenaline and cortisol, while increasing endorphins, hormones that help you relax and even feel more optimistic. If you have time for a full workout, consider a run or walk outdoors if the weather is nice.
The rhythm of running can help you mull over your thoughts in a way similar to meditation. If you’d prefer some distance from your thoughts, try a fast-paced interval workout or a challenging lifting session that keeps your brain busy.
Besides the physical changes of exercise, another reason it’s a great stress buster is because it’s a thing you can do right now. Whether you exercise, and what moves you choose to do, are completely under your control.
When you’re waiting for news on something you can’t control, consider doing other things that will give you small victories. A makeover is a cheesy but effective way to accomplish this: Visit the salon, or just pull out your favorite bottle of nail polish. Crafts are perfect, too: knit a hat, draw a picture, build a birdhouse, or bust out that DIY electronics project you’ve been meaning to get to. You’ll take your mind off your worries, and get something to show for it in the end.
After all, part of why you feel so awful is because you seem to be powerless to make yourself feel better. But the one big thing you’re worried about isn’t the only game in town. Little accomplishments can boost your mood, and give you a great outlet for all your nervous energy. Even cleaning the house works here: you can see the impact of your actions immediately, and by the time you’ve finished, you’ve gotten a mini workout and made your home a nicer place to be.
If there is volunteer work you can do to help with your problem, so much the better. On election day, that could mean canvassing neighborhoods or making get-out-the-vote calls. If you want to help a campaign but can’t spare the time, consider dropping off snacks at the local campaign office.
But even for situations that are totally out of your control, consider volunteering just to take the focus off yourself and put it onto others. Most organizations require some sort of training before volunteering in a useful way, but that isn’t always a barrier. Go back to that shelter where you used to walk dogs, or mine your junk mail for coupons and go buy some toys to donate to Toys for Tots.
On a rough day, it can be easy to forget to do things like eat a healthy lunch or get enough sleep. Make sure to cover those bases, and don’t let your anxiety get in the way of beneficial things on your calendar, like a gym session, an important work task, or a night out with friends.
Remember that there is a difference between positive and negative coping skills. Binge drinking isn’t a healthy way to cope; nor is overeating to the point that you’ll regret it, or taking your anger out on others. It’s also a bad idea to make big decisions while you’re upset: go ahead and write out a checklist for your plan to move to Canada, but don’t buy your tickets just yet.
So, stick to the positive tactics we’ve covered here, or other things that genuinely help you feel better. Comedian Alyssa Truszkowski told me that she designates five to ten minutes to allow herself to feel nervous before a show, and then after that the anxiety isn’t allowed brain space anymore. Worrying is normal, but it doesn’t have to take over your life.

295,034,503 | It’s sad that an idea like Pink has taken this long to be told. A well-intentioned and a well-made drama, Pink takes you by the scruff of the neck, immerses you into our reality and shakes you up in the process. The film questions our mindsets more than our morals. Who defines what’s right, what’s wrong, what’s permissible, what’s not, what’s acceptable, what’s not?
We, as individuals, make up a society. Our collective mindsets and values define the society we live in. And Pink tells us everything that’s wrong with us. And men alone aren’t to be blamed. Women stand equally guilty. Treating our boys any different from our girls or measuring their values on different yardsticks, begins at home. If only we taught our sons to grow up to be real men, we wouldn’t need to tell our daughters how to live by the so called ‘rules’ of the society, that we ourselves have created and nurtured over generations.
Pink trails the story of three girls, one of who is charged with an ‘attempt to murder’ and put behind bars, after a late night out with friends. Is she guilty? Can she prove otherwise? What will it take? What’s her story? Will their be takers?
Every character justified his/her part – from Meenal (Tapsee Pannu), Falak (Kirti Kulhari), Andrea (Andrea Tariang) and Rajveer (Angad Bedi) to lawyers Prashant Mehra (Piyush Mishra) and Deepak Sehgal (Amitabh Bachchan). Mr Bachchan delivers another standout performance. I don’t think the dialogues would’ve been half as effective if not for him.
Pink equally questions our laws, the caretakers of these laws and the people-in-power who misuse their authorities to their advantage. Here’s a little spoiler I wanted to call out. Why wasn’t the female police officer who fudged/backdated an FIR called to punishment for the same? Or, did I miss something? (There’s a 7-year jail term for filing a wrong FIR by a police officer).
My only grouse otherwise, with the film was that the first half half moved a little slow and takes longer to get to the point.
But the effort that went into putting this film together is laudable. Pink is an important film that needs to be seen, if I haven’t hammered it enough. Do not miss it!
There was no better way to capture the essence of Pink than the poem by Tanvi Ghazi, recited by Amitabh Bachchan at the end of the film.
Solid movie. We need more meaningful films like this… meaningful and relevant..superb effort! Salute to the director
Wasn’t the film over hyped? I mean i get that it was a great concept and everything but it did feel laxed particularly in the first part. Not impressed!
I hope to see the film re-release. PVR, are you listening? We would love to watch it again on the big screen.
“There was no better way to capture the essence of ‘Pink’ than the poem by Tanvi Ghazi, recited by Amitabh Bachchan at the end of the film.”
Great effort by director Aniruddha Roy Chowdhury. I wish he makes more meaningful films like this. Good effort. Good acting. Good story.
Awesome film. one of the best movies I saw last year… One performance of Mr Bachchan is enough to set aside all other actors of this generation. He does one good film every year and gets nominated as best actors against all youngsters today. they have no chance to compete alongside him. he’s the greatest actor that will ever be. more power to Mr bachchan. Fan for life! <3 <3
it was a beautiful poem at the end of the movie when the credits started rolling…such beautiful words. and the fact that amitabh bachchan recited it added all the more charm to it. lovely!
Watchable only because it had Amitabh Bachchan, else too slow. But I’m glad he took up the role. If not anything, people would at least come to the theatre to watch it for him. and the message is great. More poeple need to watch it. Nice review Flickside!

36,626,291 | The number 22 bus takes you practically to the door of The Globe so it was but a short hop from Havana à la Hoochie into the unknown - the unknown being whether a two piano set, even one by two such formidable performers as Dave and Dean, would pull the punters.
The downstairs bar was doing good business with concertgoers seeking refreshment prior to an evening of Spandau Ballet at the Arena.
Upstairs too was near to standing room only as the audience slaked their thirst in eager anticipation.
This "Lady" wasn't just "Good" she was "Sensational"! Likewise Miss Jones. Jobim's Triste, St Thomas, Over the Rainbow and Cheek to Cheek were other twenty fingered outings that pleased, as did a solo slot for Dean On the Sunny Side of the Street.
During the break Dean revealed he'd taken lessons from Dave some years ago and it showed inasmuch as, despite their differing styles they were, nevertheless, very compatible.
The second round - sorry, I mean set - opened with the ever delightful Alice in Wonderland followed by a rolling stock blues boogie. Was it Pinetop, Meade Lux, Johnson or Yancey? No, it was John Clayton's Blues For Stephanie - it rocked the room.
Like Someone in Love, four handed stride on Tea For Two, My Romance (or was it Here's That Rainy Day?) had Dave not only flying solo but also pressing the guitar button on the Clavinova to the effect that by closing your eyes he really was playing guitar!
Being domiciled in France, I obviously didn't catch the two piano concert at the Globe but I am amazed that anyone could find fault with the programme which was certainly taken from that treasure trove, the GREAT AMERICAN SONG BOOK. There were tens of thousands of beautifully constructed songs written during this period (1920--50) which allow inventive jazz musicians to improvise in a harmonic or modal fashion. Any pianist worth his salt will have hundreds of these firmly implanted in his head, to be produced & reconstructed at the drop of a hat. I am not familiar with Dean's work but I do know that Dave is a great devotee of TGASB, as I once had to do an unrehearsed two piano set with him at the Bude JF which was great fun, although I was hanging on to his coat tails most of the time but Hey, who isn't? I have always felt that a concert of this nature should contain material that the audience, in the main, will recognise & to avoid including obscure or one's own pretentious compositions. Obviously Dave & Dean didn't think that anything from outside of the TGAB was worthy of inclusion in their programme & who am I to argue with that? In any case it would allow them to select their proramme with virtually little or no rehearsal needed. Anyway how do you find good songs since the 60s as the art of good song writing died with the advent of Rock & Roll & Andrew Lloyd Webber.
I am amazed that someone who didn't actually attend the concert can pass comment on it's content given that you can't possibly now how the pieces were actually perfomed(as it happened they were performed with great panache) if you honestly think that there has been no decent original music composed since 1960 then with all due respect you opinion is meaningless. I have no problem with standards especially if performed in a creative and original way but as a jazz fan I particularly enjoy the new and unexpected. Having said that the vast majority of the audience seem to agree with you - so what do I know?
Explaining recently why he had decided to do an album of Great American Songbook numbers associated with Frank Sinatra, Bob Dylan said: 'I don't see myself as covering these songs in anyway. They've been covered enough. Buried, as a matter of a fact. What me and my band are basically doing is uncovering them. Lifting them out of the grave and bringing them into the light of day.'
Buried! never! and as for lifting them out of the grave, sorry Bob Dylan, they have never been out of the light of day, and yes I agree with Bill Harper, there has been no good song writing since the 60's. Lloyd Webber's stuff is repetitive and boring. GASbook will live forever, recorded by all the greats, and appreciated by anyone who understands a wonderful lyric and arrangement
Proof of the gasbook's durability lies in the number of artists who approach, shall we say The September of Their Years? suddenly discover the legacy of music they have chosen to ignore in their glory days - it's akin to seeking "the grey vote". Dylan may well be sincere - I have yet to hear the album - just as, I'm sure, Rod Stewart, Robbie Williams, Westlife and others were before him but...
Tony Bennett summed it [the sixties] up when he said, "All of a sudden you had to write your own songs as if Kern and Porter weren't good enough!" |
175,779,755 | I regularly spent time at Bergenfield passenger station until service was eliminated in 1959. The line was four track to Dumont, NJ until 1957.
The evening rush-hour service consisted to expresses to West Haverstraw, Newburgh and Kingston supplemented by locals to Dumont. The Dumont trains terminated in a passenger yard beyond the train station, complete with wye for turning engines. The five sets which were domiciled there were always powered by rare Baldwin RS-12's and had very old non air-conditioned coaches which were originally built of wood with steel underframes. They were rebuilt with steel bodies in 1928 and 1929 by ACF, retaining their six or four wheel trucks, as originally built. They were painted in "pacemaker green' with imitation gold lettering These cars had beautiful wooden interior walls, green plush pull-over seats and dim lighting from a decorative glass lamp fixture over the central aisle. The beyond Dumont trains were pulled by RS-3's, sometimes with a baggage or RPS or combination coach in the consist. These cars were air-conditioned and were part of the Central's large fleet of Spec. 700 coaches. Starting in 1953, these cars were repainted into the two tone gray paint scheme familiar on NYC passenger cars. The interior of these cars were very utilitarian compared to the older coaches.
In October 1958, service was reduced to weekdays only and West Haverstraw as the the most northern destination. Service throughout the day was also eliminated with only 12 southbound in the morning and 12 northbound in the evening. The Dumont operation was eliminated in 1957.
The reduction in service in October permitted the NYC to remove the center two tracks from service, ending the four track operation begun in the 1920's. The rusty rails and weeds were an eyesore for quite a long time until finally removed.
Not being able to secure ICC agreement to eliminate all passenger service, the Central cleverly justified discontinuance of the ferry service between first Cortland Street in New York and then 42nd Street. This effectively eliminated the need for the trains as the passenger was dropped at the Hudson River with no really satisfactory means of reaching New York City. The Public Service Coordinated Transport bus at the Weehawken station was very slow and uncomfortable. Attempts began before he last train ran and continued after the last train to restore service by running the trains to Hoboken over the Erie Railroad and to Jersey City on the Pennsylvania Railroad or to Susquehanna Transfer, but to no avail. The end of 1959 was the end of passenger service on the West Shore.
An excellent video is available from Mark 1 Video called New York Central: "Along the Hudson" which covers West Shore passenger and freight trains, along with the ferry operation on the Hudson River, for about 20 minutes. The video costs $19.99 and can be obtained by calling 1-800-66-MARK 1. Several passenger trains are shown with Boston & Maine RDC's and Canadian Pacific streamlined coach on the rear. This is a very unusual sight but makes sense as the cars would be coming from the Budd Company plant destined to Albany for interchange.
Another historical aspect of the West Shore is its hosting of passenger and freight trains of the New York, Ontario and Western between Weehawken and Cornwall, NY. Passenger service ended in 1953 and freight in 1957, with the closure of this railroad. In its latter days, the daily O&W passenger train (1) was shown as making flag stops at any West Shore station between Ridgefield Park, NJ and Cornwall, NY. This was the route to the Catskills and operated in its prime with Camelbacks pulling wooden coaches, operated in multiple sections on weekends and holidays. The end of service consisted of an F3 pulling a heater car (ex steam tender), Baggage, RPO and coach open ended observation (formerly parlor observation). Freight service was tri-weekly to Weehawken to the end in 1957.
After West Shore passenger service ended, NYC freight trains consisted of Flexi-Van, TOFC, Multi-levels and general freight pulled by FA, F3, F7 and RS-3 combinations. In time, more modern power from Alco and GE began to replace these older models. Seeing a GP7 or GP9 was a rarity on the West Shore in the early days. Reduced volume on trains on the line following the end of passenger service saw the line reduced to single track, with new bi-directional signaling. The former northbound main became an extended siding from Ridgefield, NJ to Dumont, NJ. A far cry from the days of four mainline tracks.
When you tell members of the elite, invitation-only UFT Unity Caucus that you don't like the fact that everyone with a vote in UFT, NYSUT, and AFT has signed a loyalty oath and represents leadership rather than membership, they'll first deny it exists. When you show it to them, they'll say it's just a guideline, or that it's meaningless, or some other such nonsense. When you tell them you're still upset that every rep without exception represents leadership rather than membership, they'll say no, there are elections, and everyone was elected. They'll forget that almost no one in rank and file knows about the loyalty oath.
But they are right. There is a ballot, and you can vote. You can place a big X next to Unity, MORE, or New Action. You might know that former opposition New Action now supports the Unity presidential candidate, and you might not. But you almost certainly don't know the thousands of names on the ballot, and it's unlikely you want to split the ballot and pick names one by one. There are some Unity people I really like, but I wouldn't do that even if I found their politics acceptable.
One year I did, though, and it took me almost an hour. About twenty years ago Randi Weingarten came to our school. She came with the then-UFT VP for academic high schools, some guy whose name I forget. He got up and insisted that there was no truth to the rumor that UFT was going to make it 25 years to hit maximum pay, and that anyone who said so was a filthy liar. I raised my hand and asked why, then, did Sandra Feldman send me something in the mail asking me to vote for a contract in which it took 25 years to hit maximum pay.
The VP had no idea what to say to that. Randi quickly stood up and got him off the hook. I have no recollection of what she said but it was a tough question and she did give an answer. I decided she was the smartest person in the room. She also made very vulgar remarks about Rudy Giuliani, which I adored. I went home, voted for her, but everyone else on New Action's slate that year. My Unity chapter leader chided me for not voting for him. I had no idea he was even on the ballot, and like most teachers I had no idea how the small perks given the likes of him motivated so many people to join Unity.
A big issue with Unity is that of voting "at large" and in no place is that more apparent than in the ballot with a million names. Most of the small portion of working UFT members who take the time to vote are Unity, or encouraged by Unity leaders, and thus they get a huge portion of the fewer than 20% of members who are not too cynical to vote.
Here's the thing--this shuts out some of the most active and well-informed unionists in the city. It ensures that our union has no independent voice whatsoever. That's unhealthy, but that's what it's designed to be. It's designed to maintain a stranglehold on power, to squelch debate, and keep a remarkably ineffectual political machine at 52 Broadway.
Your chapter knows your chapter leader. Your chapter selects your chapter leader. But if your chapter leader isn't Unity, and beholden to represent leadership rather than you, your chapter leader gets no voice in union.
And that's just the way leadership wants it. That's why those of us who are activists have to concurrently fight on a dual front--the corporate reformers, and the union leaders who enable them.

I have been slammed at work and and not on here but for a second the last few months. Sorry this is late starting up, with that I proudly present.... THE ANNUAL MHH CHRISTMAS CARD EXCHANGE!
Fall is here and with that, the start of the holiday seasons. Time to start decorations, cooler weather and thoughts of the fun ahead. I will be running the annual card exchange again this year. I am not on here as much with work keeping me busy but I will reply to you message as soon as possible.
This will stay open until Oct 31 (FIRM) so I can get the list together and sent out to everyone the first week of November. You will need to have your card in the mail no later than the first week of December. We need to make sure everyone gets them in time for Christmas. Remember some are to sent out of the states so please be sure they are sent out earlier and with the proper postage. They pay a lot of money to send all of their cards over here so please be respectful of that and get their cards out in time.
* Communication is key. We all know holidays and times are tough, if things come up and if you, at any time, have to pull out, let me know.
Please send it to me in a line format so that we can copy and paste, esp foreign addresses b/c they are written differently than we do in the states.
I am back in this year. There were a lot of problems with the card exchange for 2013 and I chose not to participate in 2014. I missed it so much and was really happy to hear from everyone that it went well last year.
welcome aboard all. Thanks for your patience I will reply to everyone but it will not be immediately.
im a pretty superstitious person at times, with certain rituals that I have implemented in my life that allow me to survive in my own skin being a human in this world..some of these practices and customs were created and come from a place when I felt isolated and desolate during my personal lifes circumstances and aided in my survival..possibly getting me through the most powerful changeling times allowing me to land on my feet..
I was given a blanket and a dolly when I was a little girl and I cant even remember what for yet my oldest memory is my parents using that specific blanket to comfort me and used to rest the left over finger I had cut off while it was healing at night time..this blanket has stayed with me for 42 years and has been under my pillow forever giving me still comfort and peace after all these years..it is something I feel very strongly about, superstitious you could say, and it has to be under my pillow..i have included over time a native medicine pouch and pieces from both of my children’s blankets to complete its purpose of my night time customs..
I walk all the time with specific crystals in my pocket, representing the attributes I believe protect me and allow me the balance when I am surrounded in settings that could sometimes leave me with anxiety..these specific stones give me a sense of peace and when I forget them, its a mental disaster that I have to rise above to my higher ground and remind myself that with or without these stones I am beyond ok, and just incase, I have a stash in my purse..
i have the same thing with my specific jewelry that I wear, never ever taking off certain pieces that represent different things to me that I feel lost without..call me crazy, its simply how I roll..i have a crystal necklace that I have owned since I was a teenager that was my first amethyst crystal with a garnet stone that I wear proudly and ritually too..my husbands parents came to visit us here in Michigan the first year he had moved here and brought with her a necklace to give to me as a gift..it was made when she had Eran all those years ago by her grandmother and gave each of her children spouses the necklace as a token, an offering in my opinion..for me personally it was a sacred moment I shared with my mother in law when she honored me with this piece..to me, it was as if she gave me a piece of her son, while giving me the blessing of our being together, and to this day I have never taken it off and were it in a very customary way..
so while Friday the 13 to some might be a day of bad luck, and as superstitious as I am, I don’t feel unlucky at all..in fact, when you add the numbers 3+1=4 it is attached to the energies of the ARCHANGES which is divine intervention with the most wonderful beautiful attributes that cancels out anything negative..Friday in the Jewish religion is the beginning of the Shabbat which the sacred time of the week being again something so beautiful and positive..so the combination alone allows me to get past my egos reasoning for superstitions and make the best out of a day I might consider to me so treacherous..
so happy beautiful FRIDAY THE 13..may you find the bliss in your abundance, the gratitude in your heart, the blessing in the rituals and customs that keep you sane, and the ability to create something positive and glorious in what some view as the negative aspect of superstation using it to better serve you in a higher way, than to bring you back to fear and lower levels of thought and feelings taking you on a downward path..i wish you all a beautiful day, filled with love, light and positivity that outreaches all your limitations..peace love faith hope
The U.S. Transportation Safety Administration (TSA) has been rolling out new rules over the summer at various airports globally as well as domestically. My friends who have been traveling out of Orlando have already been reporting long security lines and we haven’t even hit the holiday travel season yet. At my home airport, Phoenix Sky Harbor, I have yet to notice long lines, but I have noticed some changes to what they are screening in the carry on bags. Here’s what you need to know before your next flight. Continue reading →

By now, I’m sure everyone has at least heard about the unfortunate incident on a United flight last week where a man was forcibly removed from a plane. I’m not going to get into what was wrong with that particular scenario, but being a frequent traveler and travel blogger, I read people’s comments on social media and quickly realized that the casual traveler knows very little about overbooking and denial of service. In addition, it’s not always easy to find information about a travel company’s policies to find out one’s rights if that happens so I hope the overview below will help.
First, know that overbooking doesn’t just happen with the airlines. Hotels do it. Rental car companies do it, too. Companies in the travel industry have learned over the years that they can count on a certain percentage of no shows and cancellations. Then, they sell more seats or rooms or cars than they have available, gambling that there will be enough cancellations or no shows to cover it. Sometimes that happens; other times it can turn into a nightmare for a traveler who has very little recourse.
Since this is such a huge topic, today I’m just going to cover airlines. Next week, I will cover hotels and then the following week I will cover rental car companies so be sure to check back for more information. Continue reading →

I’m going on a cruise in a few weeks and once again, there’s the question of do I need travel insurance? Unfortunately, it’s not a simple yes or no answer because so much depends on what coverage one already has, where one is traveling, how much money has been spent, and more.

As my family boarded our flight today, we noticed that there was a child sitting in my husband’s assigned seat. Because we had booked my husband’s flight separately and later than my son’s and mine, my son and I were in the window and middle and my husband was in the aisle one row behind us. I paid extra for his seat (I get free priority seats and he doesn’t) and my plan was to ask if the person in the aisle seat next to me if he would switch since it was only one row, but if he wouldn’t, it was no big deal, my husband still had a seat he could live with. It was on an aisle toward the front of the plane so we were good. Yet, as we got to our seats, mine and my sons were empty, but my husband’s had a child in it. Continue reading →

As I was flying to Orlando a few days ago, I saw a family traveling with lap children. It was a lovely family, a dad, a mom, and two adorable daughters. Unfortunately, due to lack of information, airline controls, and planning, both parents’ nerves were frazzled before we reached 35,000 feet. Hopefully these tips will keep others from having to go through what they went through. Continue reading →

A group of researchers at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia and the University of Sheffield in the UK has fabricated a liquid crystal lattice that is one of the most complex structures ever produced through molecular self-assembly. The work contributes to the design of increasingly complex nanostructures for a wide range of applications.
Molecular self-assembly techniques take their cue from nature; for example, from the process that enables proteins and cells to arrange themselves organically in functionally beneficial ways. "The general concept is to synthesize highly branched -- thus, dendritic -- molecules that self-assemble and subsequently self-organize into various lattices," explained Martin Glodde, a postdoctoral researcher with Virgil Percec's group at the University of Pennsylvania.
Essentially, these molecules consist of three parts: the apex group, a functional group at the core of the molecule; a branching unit, based on benzoates or benzyl ethers; and aliphatic chains at the periphery of the structure. "These different parts of the molecules attract each other, and when two or more molecules come together, they are ordered in the way that these parts are next to each other," he said. For example, molecules that are flat and tapered organize themselves into cylindrical columns and form hexagonal, rectangular or oblique two-dimensional lattices.
In this case, however, the molecules were conical. As a result, 12 of the molecules self-assembled into 8500-atom spheres, which subsequently took on a liquid crystal phase and ordered themselves into a regular, repeating pattern. The building block of the three-dimensional lattice -- only the third discovered -- consisted of 30 spheres occupying a volume of almost 20 x 20 x 10 nm.
Researchers have produced a complex structure by molecular self-assembly. The building block of the structure is a 20 x 20 x 10-nm volume consisting of 30 spheres, each formed by 12 dendron molecules. A model of one of the spherical supermolecules is shown in the top right corner.
Besides being one of the most complex structures created by molecular self-assembly, the lattice assumed a structure heretofore unseen in an organic compound. "In this particular case," Glodde said, "[we] found by x-ray analysis at high temperature that these spheres self-organize into a lattice that is normally only found in cases of some metal oxides."
The phenomenon might find application in photonics. To control light in much the same way that computer chips control electrons, photonic crystals must be roughly the same size as the wavelength, but they also must display a precise structure that allows for predictability and reproducibility.
The researchers are the first to design molecules that self-assemble on the order of hundreds or thousands of nanometers, and with the necessary degree of precision.
"This is a considerable step toward self-assembled 3-D photonic crystals," said Goran Ungar of the University of Sheffield.
Other potential applications include drug delivery, adhesives, pesticides, composites, coatings and paints, photographic and imaging media, catalysis, microfabrication and microelectronics. The scientists envision many applications that involve encapsulation of materials, and they are investigating how molecular self-assembly might yield hollow spheres.
Q. Assuming employees are meeting the requirements of their position, what are the new standards of annual salary increases (percentage-wise)? Also, what happens to long-term employees who are earning beyond the position's salary range, because they steadily received 4 percent increases and are now almost "overpaid"? Do they stop getting raises?
A. Each year, salary survey companies ask employers to tell them how much their merit budgets will be for the upcoming year. Most companies don't know what their merit budgets will be until sometime in the fall. Then they report those merit budgets to the survey companies. As of August 2001, Salary.com has seen some decrease in the rate of salary increases, more in the form of lower offers to new hires than in reduced budgets for merit increases, which won't appear for a few months.
The way a company handles its long-term employees normally depends on its overall compensation strategy. If a company's philosophy is to pay a competitive wage and reward high performers, then it is less concerned with whether someone is a long-term or a short-term employee. Companies normally pay the average or median market rate for employees who are fully proficient in their jobs. If an employee's performance is well above market, an employer will probably pay above the median or average market rate.
Some employees are high achievers because they have been performing a job for quite some time. Generally, companies don't want to pay such employees more than 25 to 30 percent above market because they know they can find someone to perform the same function for less money. However, if a company wants to reward its high performers whose base salaries are well above market, it can offer them lump-sum payments rather than increasing their base pay. This way, companies still reward employees who are doing a great job without increasing their fixed costs. |

13,661,164 | The super-potent opioid is getting cut in at every level, and is spreading west. Now, experts say, it could replace heroin entirely
Men in a park where heroin users gather to shoot up in the Bronx. In the past few years, reports of fentanyl in heroin has skyrocketed.
If you talk to Tony Parilla, he’ll be the first to tell you that his New York City junkie credentials are impressive. He started shooting dope as a teenager, back when the North Brooklyn neighborhood where he grew up was more Serpico than Girls, and the Lower East Side was a drug-addled hardcore Xanadu.
“You’d walk into an apartment through a hole in the wall, you’d cop in another apartment, and [then] walk out of a completely different building,” says Parilla, 51, who’s been shooting heroin for the past 35 years.
“[Since] I was 15,” he says. “You know, [heroin’s] a beautiful feeling. But it’s not a feeling I would recommend anybody [else] chase.”
He lived in Tompkins Square Park — the needle park of needle parks — during the 1980s. He was there during the 1988 police riots, when the squatters were forcibly evicted in an onslaught of police violence.
“I started running saying ‘They’re coming They’re coming,’ I turned the corner and clip clop clip clop,” he says, mimicking a horse’s hooves, “Smack! Back of the head.”
He’s contracted hepatitis — twice. He’s seen bodies thrown out windows. Just last year, someone threw him onto the subway tracks and split his head open. He grew in the hardcore scene as a punk and a skinhead — plainly, Parilla is robust, and doesn’t easily flinch.
“Dope is cut so many different ways now that you don’t know what the fuck is in it,” says Parilla. “And with fentanyl, you can’t really tell until you shoot it.” While an occasional overdose is par the course, Parilla says, this fentanyl thing is totally different. “It’s killing a lot more people in the last two years,” Parilla says. “Actually I tried to figure it out last night and I lost count at 27.”
He carries naloxone — the overdose reversal drug, also commonly known by the brand name Narcan — and he’s had to use it on a number of fellow users. The responsibility falls on him because often he’s the only one who carries it. And he’s usually the most experienced in the room.
“If I’m in a room with 25 people, all junkies, I’m gonna feel responsible. I’m gonna be looking around and it fucks with my head. Who wants to see somebody maybe die?”
For a while, he was carrying around Fentanyl testing strips, which let you test your drugs for any trace of Fentanyl. His old needle exchange provided them for free. But the new exchange he goes to doesn’t give them out.
Those strips are one of the very few ways for a drug user has to know if he’s got a potentially deadly mix. It’s one of the few ways they can keep from becoming another statistic.
The Center for Disease Control’s preliminary data estimates that nearly 72 thousand people died of accidental drug overdose in 2017. That’s more than a 10 percent increase from 2016. Most of those deaths involved opioids. And despite extensive media attention and the best efforts from public health officials and law enforcement, fentanyl — a synthetic opioid 50 to 100 times more potent than heroin — continues to creep into the illicit drug supply and drive drug overdose.
Such a potent opioid is quite useful in a medical setting. It is routinely used as a painkiller and as a general anesthetic, usually given as a patch or a lollipop so the dosage can be closely monitored.
But when it’s introduced into an unregulated, illicit drug supply, where more and more of the country has become opioid dependent, it wreaks havoc. Its potency means it’s nearly impossible to uniformly mix and just a few too many grains can cause even the most heroin-tolerant drug user to overdose.
The first time Padilla’s girlfriend, Kayla, heard about Fentanyl, it was in an Emergency Room in Allentown, Pennsylvania. “I went out with the needle still in my arm,” she says. “I’m like fuck, what happened? I had no idea there was fentanyl in it. It was first time I ever heard of it.”
A usual heroin overdose creeps up on you. It can take several hours to overwhelm the respiratory system — most people who OD on heroin are not found dead with needles in their arm — giving them a longer window to be revived. But fentanyl is engineered to be potent and ridiculously fast acting. People are dying with needles in their arms.
That has upped the stakes wildly, leading governments to aim public health campaigns directly at drug users, not telling them to stop, but suggesting best practices.
It’s also led health departments to hire unorthodox experts, like Tino Fuentes, who sold heroin for 30 years. For the last 20 years he’s worked in harm reduction, advocating for clean needles and naloxone. And now he’s contracted with the City of the New York to train public servants in overdose reversal.
Back when Fuentes worked at St. Ann’s Needle Exchange, he and his coworkers were the first place in New York City to offer fentanyl testings strips in the hopes that an informed consumer will play it safe. “Cause nobody’s gonna throw their bag of dope away, right?,” says Fuentes.
Now, he spends a lot of time on the streets, buying drugs, testing them out, trying to figure out what’s going on. “Two thirds of the bags I’m testing in the Bronx are showing up positive,” he says. “Down in Philly I’m finding bags that are [diluted] fentanyl – no heroin at all! And it’s getting worse.”
These days, a dealer makes something like $200,000 on a kilogram of heroin, Tino explains. But a kilogram of Fentanyl costs just a few thousand dollars. Dump that into your bag of heroin and you can cut it with 10 or 20 or 30 kilograms of baby laxative. Bag that up for the streets and you’ve now got millions of dollars worth of dope, for just a little extra investment.
“We suspect that it’s happening at pretty much all levels,” says Bryce Pardo, a researcher at the RAND Corporation who studies drug policy.
That means Pardo spends his days ensconced in media, government and law enforcement reports, trying to wrap his head around exactly what is happening.
Reports find that both of the major Mexican cartels are cutting fentanyl into their dope before sending it along to the United States. It seems that one of the major cartels, Jalisco New Generation, embraced fentanyl back in 2014. It’s main rival, Sinaloa, scrambled to catch up, but now they’ve gone fentanyl, full-breach. Sinaloa is a major supplier of New York City’s heroin. And 2015 was the year when Fentanyl overdose deaths started to skyrocket.
“Really it’s a brilliant move, going to fentanyl,” says Pardo. “They’re very innovative. They know how to [maximize profits].”
So the heroin coming into the city is already being cut with fentanyl before the local distribution network gets to it and works their own chemical magic. “You can get this stuff in the mail,” said Pardo. “It’s available online.”
However it enters the United States, experts and the DEA all seem to agree that Fentanyl and its constituent parts, or precursors, are coming from China. It’s probable that it’s being diverted from the labs that make fentanyl for legitimate, medical use.
Mail seizure by law enforcement finds that the Fentanyl coming in by post is 90 percent pure. It’s coming by sea — busts in New England have found shipments of fentanyl precursors. And it’s coming by land — seizures at the border are often of watered-down Fentanyl pressed to look like oxycontin and Xanax.
In his on the ground research, Fuentes finds that the guys actually standing out on the corner — street dealers, people “selling to support their habit” — are getting in on the action.
“Somebody can buy two ounces of fentanyl from some knucklehead and drop it in there,” Fuentes says, noting that those dealers have no idea that it may have already been hit a number of times.
Market indicators seem to back Fuentes’ claim. Peter Reuter, a professor of public policy and criminology at the University of Maryland, has made his career studying black markets. Reuter has seen evidence that lowest level players are getting in on the game. Lots of envelopes are coming in with just a few grams of fentanyl. This is enough for someone to cut into a small amount of heroin — what the guy on the street is slinging, but nowhere near enough for a wholesaler or distributor.
“That supports the notion that there are retailers who are bringing in their own fentanyl,” said Reuter.
These guys don’t know what’s in the heroin before they get it. Reuter says these guys think they’re buying stuff that is pure. With all this amateur chemistry going, he says, “I’m surprised more people haven’t died.”
One reason more people haven’t died is because of the work done by the people down at the needle exchange. It’s only recently that public health officials have began the campaigns for overdose reversal drugs. Harm reduction workers and advocates are to be credited for that, and for getting naloxone out of the hospitals and onto the streets.
Tens of thousands of overdoses have been reversed by naloxone — and most of those saves are done by amateurs. According to one federal health report, less than 20 percent of overdose reversals are administered by first responders. The rest are done by regular people like fellow drug users.
The other main thing that has kept overdose deaths down in the U.S. is that the heroin market here is bifurcated: East of the Mississippi the heroin is powder and stuffed with fentanyl, west of the Mississippi the heroin is a sticky dark brown paste called “black tar.” Powders are much easier to mix — or cut — with an adulterate like fentanyl. Black tar has been served as a sort of firewall against it.
“Innovation will be when somebody figures out how to mix fentanyl with black tar,” Reuter says. “This won’t require a breakthrough in modern science.” And once that happens, all bets are off.
Fuentes agrees. “To say that you can’t put it in tar is ridiculous,” he says. It’s a bit more of a process than just adding powder to powder, but not by much. But it’s not a process Fuentes will not describe in detail. He doesn’t want to give anyone any ideas.
Three thousand miles away from New York City, light pours into the lobby of Homeless Health Care L.A., located in Downtown Los Angeles’ skid row, where a few thousand homeless have made lives for themselves. The whitewashed brick walls of this former warehouse is airy and clean, and behind a plexiglass glass an employee makes made to order safe injection kits.
Alanah Roy has worked there for about a year. During that time, overdoses have increased — they suspect it’s because of fentanyl. “I can’t speak with us in comparison to the East Coast but I know for us, our numbers are going up,” she says. One particularly visceral indicator is the number of overdose reversals the staff has done. Twenty or 30 so far this year, she says off the top of her head.
“We’re seeing a lot of people reporting that they had positive results,” says a harm-reduction counselor in Los Angeles.
This past year, she says, they started giving out fentanyl testing strips to their clients, encouraging them to test their dope. Two thirds of the time, their clients are reporting, the tar is testing positive for Fentanyl.
“We’re seeing a lot of people reporting that they had positive results,” says Roy. When it’s positive, “it just looks like a browner red — [though] it’s hard to generalize, different people will report it looking different ways.”
Their main tool to combat overdose is, of course, Narcan. They give out 250 overdose kits a month and whenever they get used, they encourage their clients to report back to them. So far this year, their clients have successfully reversed more than 200 overdosed. Five have been unsuccessful. Most of those deaths have been younger white men, new to skid row. The older crowd know how to use heroin safely.
And if you use alone and you’ve got a particularly hot dose of fentanyl, you’re going to drop right out, your overdose reversal kit unopened and useless.
Back East, Fuentes has both fentanyl and heroin testing strips in his arsenal. And he’s starting to find more and more bags of dope that test positive for fentanyl and negative for heroin. “I wouldn’t be surprised if synthetic opioids are going to displace heroin markets around the world,” he said.
Neither would the Council of Foreign Relations, which recently published a report detailing what this would look like.
It could possibly disrupt much of the narcotics trade — fentanyl may even be depressing the price of heroin itself. Poppy farmers in Mexico are forced to sell their product 40 to 80 percent below what they’re used to.
When Pardo said you could just buy fentanyl online, he wasn’t talking about the darkweb or cryptocurrency. A kilogram of Fentanyl can easily be purchased by anyone with a search engine and a credit card. For how long can a cartel compete with that? How could the DEA keep up?
“If the U.S. pushed China — could the Chinese government actually do anything?” says Reuter. “Anyway, India would be just as good a producer.”
For now, health authorities are stuck. “We have no idea how to deal with fentanyl,” Reuter says. “Nobody knows.” The NYPD, for example, has made it clear that it will target fentanyl dealers in particular. There have been a number of high profile busts. Yet there’s very little evidence that imprisoning drug dealers will help.
“I’m a fan of heroin-assisted therapy,” says Reuter. In a scattering of European countries, government sanctioned facilities supply users with unadulterated heroin. Prescribed and administered under a doctor’s supervision, they function much like a Methadone clinic. You just pop in a few times a day and get whatever you need to keep going. It’s regulated and no one overdoses.
But that’s Europe — the United States is a different beast. Needle exchanges are still mired in controversy, with beach cities in California suing to keep needle exchanges out. Meanwhile, the Department of Justice just warned cities that any attempt to open sanctioned safe injection facilities will be thwarted. Government prescribed heroin any time soon seems unlikely.
Back at Parrilla’s pad, he and his girlfriend, Kayla, prep their shots. One of the neighborhood dealers, they say, has started touting the purity of his dope. “[It’s] his big advertisement!” Kayla says. “He’s like there’s not a pinch of fentanyl in here — and I’m like yes there is!”
Parilla lives in a pre-war walk up in the North Bronx. It’s not exactly clean, but it’s not a shooting gallery — with the posters on the room you could mistake it for a dorm room, except for the orange needle caps littering a table. Dexter plays in the background. Kayla, 25 years his junior, is a stripper, with a bit of a Fairuz-Balk-circa-1996 vibe and a smile with just a bit of baby fat around the edges. She’s incredibly sensitive, she says, and started using heroin to self-medicate.
“I’m a very emotional person. I’ll cry if you stub your toe. For once I don’t have to feel that,” she says. “I don’t like the feeling. It changes the mood in the room.”
And yet, using heroin, you’re always on your toes, worried someone is going to overdose. “The point of doing a downer is to relax,” she says. “You’d rather just do it alone at that point.”
I ask if they have naloxone in the house. Yes, they say, looking around the room. But neither of them know exactly where they left it.
Correction: This story previously stated that bags of pure fentanyl are being found in Philadelphia. The bags are diluted fentanyl, but still do not contain heroin. |
40,406,397 | Hello guys I just purchased a brand new Shockwave, and out of the box I'm already having issues with it. For the life of me I can't get the shotgun shells past the Cartridge Stop when trying to load the shotgun, the brass lip on the shotgun shells hangs up on the cartridge stop keeping me from loading the magazine. I've tried forcing the shotgun shell in so hard the few times the shotgun shell made it past the cartridge stop I sliced the side of my thumb open on the bottom of the receiver. I'm using WW AA low brass shotgun shells, I even tried using the Aguila mini shells with the rubber adapter and those hang up on the cartridge stop too. I have the shotgun ready to send back to Mossberg, I was just wondering if anybody else had this issue. To say the least I'm not a happy camper having to send a brand new shotgun back to the manufacture for repairs.
Had a somewhat simular issue (difficult to initially load and shell pickup when cycling action) when first bought my first shockwave. I called and discussed the issues with Mossberg. They indicated they were having some parts fitting issues and sent me a new parts kit, at no cost, which I installed and it fixed both problems.
Note: The elevator was highly polished including the "arms" which contact the stop and interrupter. Install took about 10 minutes and as I indicated above all the issues were resolved.
Thank you for the reply, I'm in the process of sending the shotgun back. I forgot to mention that a shell had gotten stuck in ejection process (I had to use a screwdriver to remove the shotgun shell) and pretty much rendered the shotgun useless, something I'm not about to risk my life with.
Hope you will take the time to share what Mossberg found the problem to be and how they corrected the issues. This type of feedback is very useful to our shockwave community. Best of luck.
Thanks Ernst my Shockwave was sent back it should be delivered to Mossberg later today. Lord only knows how long that they'll keep my brand new shotgun. I swear I wish I had purchased a Remington now, at least the Remington most likely would have worked right out of the box. I'll keep you guys posted.
I remember my last S&W airweight I bought. I had to strip it down because it had aluminium shaving inside. Remington is not what they use to be either. Have a friend that bought one of those expensive Kimber guns and he has had nothing but issues with it
My first Mossberg 500a I bought back around 2005 was smoother and a joy to have until it got exposed to moisture and rusted up quickly (over night camping trip) since then I've been very diligent with my lube/oil application and haven't looked back. Now getting back on point to this post. This 590 Shockwave is the roughest I've ever owned for sure. Also I've noticed scratches and rub marks on points of friction on this gun that I've seen on others just more pronounced. From 2005 to know I've owned a total of 4 Mossbergs (500a, 500c, 590A1 Vang Comp, 590 Shockwave) each one I got was more gritty than the last but I've had 100% reliability to date. I wish you the best of luck and I hope quality improves moving forward.
I swear I wish I had purchased a Remington now, at least the Remington most likely would have worked right out of the box.
Lots of folks upset with Remingtons QC since they were bought out by Cerberus capital several years ago. Go to any remington firearm chat room and look around if you would rather hear it from other remington owners.
Which may explain why they filed Chapter 11 bankruptcy a couple weeks ago since their investors have bled them dry while draining every last penny they could get from them and not giving two hoots about making a good gun anymore.
I've got a 90s Mossberg 500a and it IS a hell of a lot smoother than my newer Shockwave BUT the Shockwave works flawlessly and is slowly smoothing out
My Shockwave was just delivered back to me from being serviced at the factory. Mossberg replaced the cartridge stop and test fired my Shockwave with 6 shots, 3 2-3/4" shells and 3 3" shells, cleaned it and sent it back to me. There's no way in Hell my Shockwave could have passed QC before it left the factory with the cartridge stop being that defective. John A I have been paying attention I know Remington has gone downhill since being bought out by The Freedom Group.
Glad to hear it's fixed and you got a very quick turnaround from Mossberg. As I mentioned in post #2 above there was an earlier fitment issue between the elevator and the cartridge stop. The kit that Mossberg sent me solved the issue completely and I've had no other problems since. Once you've run a couple of hundred rounds through it the action will become even smoother.
I would study the many YouTube videos available by guys that know their stuff. You should learn to do some minor gun repair. It's really not rocket science at all. It is also possible that the cartridge stop could have got bent when you first test fired the gun. I've read where this has happened. Glad they took good care of you
I have been paying attention I know Remington has gone downhill since being bought out by The Freedom Group.
Still hard for either of them to really compare to my old 1300s though. They're smooth as butter. It's no wonder they were called speed pumps back in the day. You can hold the gun up and press the slide release and it almost falls all the way open under its' own weight. It's just a really good shooting pump. |
123,839,876 | New years day was the first real day of playing this winter. I got a call from Jon Coln to go play on the ice with him. The plan was to head up to Georgetown and partake in the Our Gang Ice Racing test and tune day. We met up and piled into his car then headed up. Jon has a self proclaimed tire fetish and got his hands on a set of WRC rally tires that are studded for Ice racing. We knew this was going to be a new experience, but we also weren’t exactly sure what we were signing up for.
We arrived in Georgetown and went through tech. The tires were out on display and many people were stopping by to check them out. We mounted them up and rolled out on the ice. The sound of each stud tearing away at the ice was incredible. Not only that but the ability to stop on a dime on ice that you can barely stand inspired some child like giggles from both of us throughout the day!
There wasn’t really a lot of categorization during the initial hour of the Test and tune, whoever you were lined up next to was who you raced. We lined up next to a car with no studs, the flag dropped and we caught him before he got around the first corner. We stopped and waited, but at that moment a new course opened up for studs only! So we got to go play with the big guys!
We headed over and started lining up only with studs. The typical racers that frequent the ice are custom built jeeps. These are typically lowered with small block chevy motors often times. They are pumping out some serious horsepower through megaphone exhaust that just rattles you when you are nearby. We were in a Subaru Legacy station wagon with a roof rack box on the top and leather heated seats. When you line up next to a jeep that has been custom built specifically for racing, not only just on ice, but on Ice at Georgetown lake 6 times a year…well you feel a bit inferior. However the suby was swift! Once jon got a feel for the studs we began to beat these custom built creations! One after another we began to cross the finishline first! At one point we pulled up in line and several jeeps pulled out of the way. We rolled down the window and they said “you’re racin’ Jimmy.”
We found our way up to Jimmy. Turns out this is Jimmy Olson, if you check out Our Gang’s website (www.ourgangiceracing.com) you will notice his name at the top of the list pretty frequently! So this was a test. If we can beat Jimmy, these guys were either going to be impressed or they were going to lynch us…we weren’t entirely sure just yet which way this was going to go.
Jimmy lined up and we lined up. Thumbs up from both drivers were signaled and finally an arm drop started the race. Jimmy’s engine roared and we took off as fast as possible. The track was fast and fairly oval in shape (they call it a peanut) with huge drifting turns on the ends. We couldn’t see Jimmy till the first drift, we were facing him and we were still in line with him! He hadn’t lost us yet. We squeezed through the first set of cones and wound around the center chicane and I looked over…we were still in line with Jimmy! We swung around the final drifting corner and, like a scene from a movie, we were perfectly in line with Jimmy! As we crossed the finishline it was close, I mean really close. I suspect that Jimmy took us by a hair, but it was close. As we pulled away, both of us giggling in the car because of how fun it was…we looked over and that same row of jeeps that pulled over to get us in line with jimmy…they were pointing and clapping or giving us the thumbs up! Apparently there wasn’t going to be any lynching today!
Jon and I both have a bit of an “AV nerd” side. So of course we were going to come up with video and photo capabilities as well…right? That’s right. Besides the video quality I think that this clip came out pretty good!
A few weeks later, after Jons obsession gained momentum and his self control was pushed aside, he ended up with 16 ice racing tires with 3 sets on wheels. Of course, one set just happened to fit my car… So up we went on Feb 6th to race one another, both on rally studs and both in Subarus. I was using a set of Continental Ice Racing tires made for Canadian rally. He was using a set of Yokohama tires made for WRC rally. The difference is the size and number of studs that are in the tires. The Continentals have 3 17mm studs per lug and the Yokohamas have 6 20mm studs per lug.
We were able to race two races, one was an AWD event of Subaru’s and Audi’s primarily and the other was the Our Gang Competition class. The competition class is the fastest class that Our Gang runs. I was unfortunate enough to have 2 practice runs before racing, which meant I hardly had a grasp on the tires before I had to go against a nice fast Jeep! Jon kept pace however finishing 5th.
We also got one of my co-workers out to the ice in his BMW 325ix. this is the cleanest 20+ year old car you have ever seen and Stephen has never really pushed it to its limits. He had a blast out there and I was glad to see him come out and test out his skills on the ice!
We will surely be going up again in the near future to get some more time on the ice but so far this has been one of the best driving experiences I have had in a long time!
I service your Fathers Subaru, he told me to check out the site. Awesome! I love the Outback with the roof box and air freshener on the mirror kicking butt. I’m going to show the site to my Subaru Corporate Rep next week. Keep having fun! Can’t beat the Subaru!!

All the photos were taken by Thomas when he was 8 and 9 years old, so this is not your typical photography book. Yet, I’m heartfuly positive it will not disappoint.
With input from Thomas I filtered through the 300+ photographs to choose about 150 photographs for the book. Then I grouped the photos into categories with theme names. Additionally, I needed to organize all of this so that LaRue could easily layout the book with no confusion.
Next, I wrote the “Author’s Note” and the introduction to the book. Thomas chose some favorite quotes to pair with the categories and with which to end the book. I also chose some favorite quotes as we were a bit short of quotes.
Lastly, there were lots and lots of reviews for editing purposes. Then during the week of October 10th, we sent back and forth the final review and printing began!
During that time, I’ve helped Thomas get ready to show 2 of his photographs at the Young Blood exhibit. And I’ve helped both Thomas and Lillian be prepared for the First Annual Kids Business Fair in the beginning of October.
After we got home and unloaded the car on October 8th following the Kids Business Fair, I was so tired all I could do was run a hot, epsom salt bath, and slide my tired body into it. And, it was amazing. I cried tears of gratitude, joy, and knowing.
I had no idea how I would make this happen when I made the promise to an 8 year old Thomas (10 years old now). Yet, I knew in my heart it was what I was supposed to say to him.
I checked out a couple of books from the library to use as inspiration, looked at some books online, and just started. I did back up once and start all over, deciding to go about it differently and am so glad I did. We overflow with gratitude to LRP Press in Reno, Nevada for working with us, designing the cover, and printing this beautiful book!
Want one (go here … $20)? Want to host a book signing? Want to sell it in your shop? Would you be interested in helping us spread the word? We’ll have an official launch sometime in the next few weeks. Comment here or message me if you’d like to help the launch. It will be super easy …. Like an email blast or blog post.

Christopher Hitchens just pulled all the sticky veneer off of a cancerous Pakistan-US relationship — that has been going into the muck not just since we learned that Osama bin Laden was living somewhat pleasantly just down the street from Pakistan’s West Point but much before, particularly when A.Q. Khan — also living luxuriously and as a national hero in a well-buffed world called ‘house arrest’ — was out pushing highly sensitive nuclear bomb-making technology to leaders of the world’s most thuggish regimes.
Hitchens, not off his game at all, sets the rip at the beginning of his important Vanity Fair piece, “From Abbottabad to Worse“:
Here is a society where rape is not a crime. It is a punishment. Women can be sentenced to be raped, by tribal and religious kangaroo courts, if even a rumor of their immodesty brings shame on their menfolk. In such an obscenely distorted context, the counterpart term to shame–which is the noble word “honor”–becomes most commonly associated with the word “killing.” Moral courage consists of the willingness to butcher your own daughter.
If the most elemental of human instincts becomes warped in this bizarre manner, other morbid symptoms will disclose themselves as well. Thus, President Asif Ali Zardari cringes daily in front of the forces who openly murdered his wife, Benazir Bhutto, and who then contemptuously ordered the crime scene cleansed with fire hoses, as if to spit even on the pretense of an investigation. A man so lacking in pride–indeed lacking in manliness–will seek desperately to compensate in other ways. Swelling his puny chest even more, he promises to resist the mighty United States, and to defend Pakistan’s holy “sovereignty.” This puffery and posing might perhaps possess a rag of credibility if he and his fellow middlemen were not avidly ingesting $3 billion worth of American subsidies every year.
I once met and got a tour-de-force of the rough cultural, ethnic, and economic dynamics of the two “statelets” that Hitchens describes within Pakistan from the assassinated Punjab Governor Salman Taseer. I’m convinced that he knew his rivals would attempt to use his support of intellectual and religious liberalism against him.
We support Pakistan today — and remain engaged — because it is the most dangerous nation on the face of the planet today.
Withdrawing from Pakistan, despite what Hitchens accurately describes as a nearly criminally perverse relationship, would trigger wildly dangerous scenarios — in part because a substantial portion of the Islamist radical cells that exist in key corners of Pakistan’s national security establishment seem to relish a nuclear conflagration with India and are as ideologically committed to global destabilization schemes as Osama bin Laden was.
But America needs to invent leverage in this relationship rather than become more trapped in the muck of it. Today, Pakistan is engaged in high stakes extortion — demanding funds and support or its already bad behavior could get much worse. That’s how North Korea survives.
Barack Obama is beginning a long process of beginning to pull troops out of Afghanistan — but as long as the US maintains a large military footprint there, we have less leverage than otherwise with Pakistan, which controls many vital choke-points that the US depends on in waging war in Afghanistan. A key to diminishing Pakistan’s leverage over the US and changing the equation in the relationship is to ‘shrink’ the US presence in Afghanistan and minimize dependence on Pakistan.
Some inside Pakistan did applaud the killing of Osama bin Laden; some even helped behind the scenes provide intelligence that eventually led to the storming of his compound. But the people that mattered, who are in the news, who are running the national security, diplomatic and intelligence ministries and agencies did not come out and say “We would have killed bin Laden had we found him.”
They are not saying that — and are instead condemning the US for its covert Seal Team Six operation — because they are fearful of their own angry, armed religious radicals. To secure legitimacy in Pakistan right now, one must be allied with the Taliban in Afghanistan and overtly anti-American, at least in public.
Unfortunately, the raw truth is that America has no real choice but to remain engaged with Pakistan — but this can’t be a binary arrangement in which Pakistan extorts and the US turns a blind eye to Pakistan’s role empowering rogue regimes and animating some of the world’s worst transnational terrorists.
Slow disengagement, a decrease in financial support (as the US has just done) — though not a full suspension — some arm-twisting of its patrons like China and Saudi Arabia and some strategic clarity in the Obama administration on what the real prize here is — which is a less psychotic Pakistan — rather than plodding along in the debilitating Afghanistan quagmire could move things, eventually, to a less dangerous course.

Williamson & Associates has the systems, personnel and proven techniques to meet the requirements of any seafloor investigation.
The WA 30 is a deep seafloor dual frequency mapping system capable of generating imagery and subbottom profiles profiles across a swath of up to 6000 meters (20,000 feet). The WA 30 is a general purpose system, combining wide swath for rapid area coverage with high resolution capability.
The AMS 60 is a deep seafloor mapping system sidescan sonar imagery profiles across a swath of up to 2500 meters (8000 feet). The AMS 60 is a general purpose system, allowing both wide swath mapping and high-resolution target imaging along with subbottom profiles.
C-BASS is a seafloor towed survey system that is used to collect high resolution geophysical and geotechnical information for the top 3-5 meters of seafloor sediments in water depths to 2,000 m. Using resistivity and induced polarization, C-BASS is used to determine the burial feasibility and other characteristics for planning, design and route selection of seafloor cable and pipeline installations and to characterize mineral deposits.
C-CASS is a special purpose dipping instrumentation platform, created to provide enhanced bottom and water column assessment during a geophysical survey at a lower cost than conventional ROV’s while not unduly limiting mobility, operating from winches and gear already in use with other survey equipment. C-CASS is lowered to the bottom of the seafloor on an electro-mechanical cable, utilizing its data acquisition subsystems: a high frequency scanning sonar, video, and depth meter. C-CASS operates from vessels-of-opportunity using standard handling equipment and deep sea coaxial cables. Although comprehensive, the list of sensors and subsystems can be changed based on the needs of the operation.
The CPTV (cone penetrometer test and vibrocorer) is a remotely operated geotechnical testing and sampling tool for use in water depths to 2,000 meters. The CPTV allows both in situ CPT data collection to a depth of 5 meters as well as 2-3 meter core sample retrieval for on board ground-truthing or laboratory testing.
REDAS is used to complement conventional geophysical surveying techniques to provide an improved prediction of the geotechnical characteristics of the top few meters of seafloor sediments. The REDAS implements direct current electrical resistivity while being towed in contact with the bottom at 1-2 knots. REDAS is designed to operate from vessels of opportunity using standard handling equipment and deep sea coaxial cables. |
53,700,466 | That’s right, people! Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies aren’t just made for the Queen, they can fit in anywhere!
Pembroke Welsh corgis are immediately identifiable by their short stature, prick ears and foxy face (with or without a queen included!). This quirky little breed originally hails from Wales, like their name implies and were herding dogs for farmers. With their fierce intelligence, eagerness to please and short little bodies, they made the ideal farm hand. While the Queen of England is credited for bring the Corgi into the mainstream of dog owning, the breed does a great job of stealing people’s hearts as a beloved family pet. Have you seen the Corgi, but aren’t sure if one might be right for your family? Read further in our blog to find out fun facts about the personality and characteristics of Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies!
While their names come from the Celtic language, meaning of “dwarf dog”, the Corgi makes up for it with fighting spirit:
Pembroke Welsh Corgis are known for their quick intelligence and forceful will. They are active, animated dogs and do not ever want to be left out of the action. In their own minds, they are big dogs in small bodies.
Corgis have weatherproof double coats that are short and smooth to the body. The color ranges from a rich red or fawn to black or sable with white markings. The blacks usually have white and tan to make them technically tri-colored in appearance.
Because of their herding background, Corgis are a hearty, energetic breed. They require daily exercise and playtime to keep them happy and entertained.
Most Corgis are fine with other pets and children if they have been raised with them. Beware that they will sometimes chase the heels of small running children because of their herding instincts!
They need a firm and patient hand with training, because they can be willful. But we find treats help with any kind of puppy training!
Think that Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppies might be right for you and your family? Well, check out all our adorable Corgi puppies on our available puppies page! You can also always give our Pet Counselors a call to make an appointment and get in some puppy kisses today!

4,138,571 | Effigy of a smiling abbot which is currently at the Llangollen Museum after being found in Chirk (Image: University of Chester)
A University of Chester professor believes a gravestone discovered in a Wrexham garden is rare effigy of a 13th century monk.
Howard Williams and historians from Llangollen believe the stone, which Meryl and Jerry Butler bought as a garden ornament, is a gravestone for Hyywel, who was recorded as Abbot of Valle Crucis in Llangollen at around 1295.
The couple bought the stone carving of a smiling abbot awaiting salvation at auction at Wynnstay Hall estate in Ruabon in the mid-1990s.
The monument later spent 20 years alongside their fireplace before the couple, who ran antique bed store Seventh Heaven in Chirk, decided to share their find with the public and contacted Llangollen Museum manager Gillian Smith to learn more about it.
Jerry said: “We just loved the smile on his face, so we bought it for the garden. It was on its side and we think it had been face down before that – had it been left face up you wouldn’t have the detail now!”
They believe it may have initially been uncovered during the 19th century clearance of the Llangollen abbey ruins.
The unique piece, believed to be the first-ever known, and previously unrecorded, effigal slab of a Cistercian abbot from Wales, is now on display by Llangollen Museum on a two year loan.
Gillian said: “He was by the door in Seventh Heaven when I went in. My initial reaction was “Oh my goodness, that’s really special.
“I just couldn’t stop looking at him. I sat there for about an hour, photographed him, and then dashed down to Valle Crucis, where I know the curators.
“Stylistically, around the edges it was quite similar so I looked that up and looked at the dates… it just looked as if it could possibly even be the same craftsman. I also did a bit more research on gravestones with images and came up with just about nothing so I thought it must be unique.”
Professor Williams added: “Inscribed effigies are rare indeed. There is only one other comparable example of an incised effigy, from Rhuddlan, and while there are a large collection of medieval grave-slabs from Valle Crucis Abbey, with many on display in the abbot’s house there, none have an inscribed effigy.”
He added: “All that remains of the Lombardic writing on the fragment of stone that survives is: ‘…ER: HOWEL’ : ABBAS’. It is believed that the ‘er’ might be the end of ‘frater’, and that, possibly, the original inscription, would have read something like: HIC IACET FRATER HOWEL ABBAS. Here lies Brother Howel, Abbot.”
Yes, we know that the magicians trick us and they don't really saw women in half, and yet we cannot help but admire the miracle that happens right in front of our eyes.
Now tell me, when was the last time you saw chess magic tricks? Some of you might say "never." Well, let me assure you that we are all chess magicians to some extent, because in order to beat your opponent you need to trick him somehow.
In the movie Now You See Me, the protagonist shares his secret: "First rule of magic: always be the smartest person in the room." So, you really want to make your opponent believe that he is the smartest one, while it is you who has an ace up your sleeve!
Some 50 years ago when chess was incredibly popular in the former Soviet Union, you would see people playing at the beach, on a bench, and pretty much everywhere! So a guy would come to such players and show them a chess position on his pocket set.
The players are obviously annoyed that somebody distracts them from their game and yet they take a quick look at the position.
"Come on guys! You are kidding me," laughs the stranger. "Black has an extra rook; he cannot lose the game here!"
The dispute usually ends with a bet and the players start showing the stranger his ignorance. Here is how the game proceeds:
Here the players realize that something weird is going on and the famous Saavedra position somehow is not winning for White. While they are still trying to understand what's going on, their money is already in the stranger's pocket and he is looking for a new victim.
Now let me explain what's going on there. The Saavedra position is one of those proverbial "every Russian schoolboy must know" positions. This is how it looks:
As you can see, the position that the stranger showed the players closely resembled the Saavedra position, but white king and black rook switched sides and it changed the result of the game!
Do you think these kind of tricks work only with amateur players? Let's see. In the next game, the very experienced Ukrainian GM Malaniuk trapped a young Peter Svidler into a cute opening trap:
I hope you already know how to trick your opponent. The recipe is quite simple: Get a position that resembles a well-known trap, so your opponent is sure that he is "the smartest person in the room." Then prove him wrong!
Therefore, if you create an illusion that your opponent can trap your bishop following the footsteps of the great Cuban, you are almost guaranteed to succeed.
Turkeys have played a central role in the history of the United States. In a letter to his daughter, Ben Franklin offered praise for the bird, which he called, “…a true original native of America…(though a little vain and silly tis true, but not the worse emblem for that) a bird of courage, and would not hesitate to attack a grenadier of the British guards who should presume to invade his farm yard with a red coat on.”
He was correct about turkeys’ aggressive streaks, but lately they haven’t been after the British. Nope. Turkeys have been terrorizing Americans. WBUR in Boston reports turkeys, which had disappeared from New England in the 1800s, have been successfully reintroduced to the region.
The victory isn’t being celebrated in all quarters, though. According to reports, turkeys seem to prefer suburbia where they’ve been “clashing with residents who say they destroy gardens, damage cars, chase pets, and attack people.”
In fact, turkey aggression has become so acute wildlife officials have offered the equivalent of a wild turkey survival guide. First, they recommend, cover windows and shiny objects (turkeys may respond aggressively to sparkly items and their own reflections). Second, Americans who are being intimidated by turkeys should not “...hesitate to scare or threaten a bold, aggressive turkey with loud noises, swatting with a broom, or water sprayed from a hose. A dog on a leash is also an effective deterrent.”
Climbing trees is not an effective way to escape the menacing fowl. Domestic turkeys cannot fly, but wild turkeys can soar at speeds of up to 55 mph for short distances, according to LiveScience.com. Next time you spot a rafter of turkeys, remember: “Turkeys in the wild are far stronger and faster than the ones that land on Thanksgiving tables.”
Stock markets around the world may have ripened to full-slip sweetness this year. Emerging markets have delivered the most attractive returns year-to-date. The MSCI Emerging Markets Index was up 34 percent year-to-date, last week. The United States and Europe have marched higher, too. The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index was up about 16 percent year-to-date, while the Euro Stoxx Index was up 11.3 percent, reported Barron’s and The Wall Street Journal.
Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at the Leuthold Group, told CNBC, “I don't see the elements of a bear market but I certainly think 2018 can bring us a correction or at least just a more challenging market.”
David Lebovitz, global market strategist with J.P. Morgan Asset Management, wrote in Barron’s, “Healthy earnings growth suggests that there is still upside in U.S. equities, but this area of the global equity market is most expensive relative to its long-term average. However, history has shown us that expensive stock markets can get more expensive before they get cheaper, as multiples tend to expand in the final stages of a bull market.”
Peter Boockvar, chief market analyst at the Lindsey Group, told CNBC, “This boat is now standing room only…I still can't figure out why some think there is no euphoria in markets when one has to go back 30 years to see this wide a spread between bulls and bears.”
Boockvar was referring to an early November Investors Intelligence Sentiment Survey, which gauges the attitudes of U.S. advisors. CNBC reported 63.5 percent of those surveyed were bullish and just 14.4 percent were bearish. A gap of 30 points is a sign of elevated risk, while a 40-point difference suggests defensive measures may be appropriate.
Individual investors aren’t quite as confident. Last week’s AAII Sentiment Survey showed 35.5 percent were bullish, 29 percent were bearish, and the remainder were neutral. It’s important to note, there was a distinct shift toward bullishness and away from bearishness in last week’s survey. |
35,364,298 | I am no more an expert on love than anyone else on this planet, including those who study mercilessly for years in order to eventually advise others on their quest for real connections. I'm a mere observer. I've watched myself go through the roller-coaster of infatuation, feeling the potential of "falling" in love, and ultimately the heart ache and loss of love that never existed in the first place. Spending much of my adolescence and early adulthood single, very single, alone, no sex, no dates, no flirting, no nothing, I was able to passively observe the bouts of "love" that struck my friends and schoolmates. I watched as they became engrossed and attached the other person, to their identity as someone's "other", and as much of their personal identity began to slide, so did their friendships.
When I fell in deep like and lust with my first real boyfriend, I felt the same identity crisis snap over me. Always being self-aware, since childhood, I entered into my pseudo-relationship with slight trepidation. But the allure of sexual attraction and want was too powerful for me to overcome. In a short amount of time, my beliefs, my independence, and my sanity went out the door, and a gushy, pathetic, chemistry drunk girl emerged.
I was a teenager. This was well over a decade ago, nonetheless I observe these tendencies in my more mature cohorts even today. Many of us, women in particular, derive a sense of confidence, accomplishment, and overall satisfaction from being "in a relationship." Somehow being on the arm of another gives our own existence some credibility, something to be admired.
You can either attach yourself to others out of fear or pull yourself out of the game altogether for the exact same reason. I awarded myself a pat on the back for being okay with being alone, with not dating, with not needing anyone else. Did I go to the movies alone on Valentine's day only to cry sickeningly in my car the whole way home? Maybe. For whatever reason we placate, we're lying to ourselves, because we've neglected to recognize we are already enough.
Some of us want sex but no intimacy. The words I love you and thoughts of participating in mundane errands with another can send some running for the hills. Some of us just want the hope of resonance, beyond anything physical, the desire to connect and bounce life off of another is strong. What I've observed in the two scenarios and the wide spectrum in-between, is the myth that love is a status symbol, a means of validation, an achievement to be broadcast, something to be given or taken away, and the utter fallacy that love hurts.
I will wholeheartedly own up to the hours and energy I spent crying, feeling sick inside over the loss of Love. I've felt the neediness, the wantedness, the yearning to be with a romantic partner every second possible, to share as many breaths together in a day that we could. I felt the gnawing concern and borderline jealousy while waiting by phone for a call. None of these emotions are love, not even the exciting parts.
Since entering and graduating from college, it became apparent that in order to seal the deal in showcasing a successful, well-adjusted adult, marriage was the ultimate symbol of that success. Women peruse and download images of engagement rings, something I could never relate to, while men recognize this as a biological imperative, a means to placate an unhappy girlfriend, or a catalyst to growing into a man. For both, engagement and marriage gives their life meaning and solidifies their otherwise questionable relationship.
Is this the case for everyone? Of course not, but it is the pervasive tone of our culture to treat love as a game that must be honed and mastered. Women and men see each other as lists, qualities with which to measure a potential mate. Our future life-partners must meet a criteria, like being accepted into a good school, they've got to groom and become pedigreed in order to meet our expectations. We create a fantasy in our heads while disregarding what we truly bring to a relationship.
For some, their significant other must carry the same religious beliefs, the same political ideology, a similar socio-economic status, an impressive educational background, and the same likes and dislikes. Love is not crafty or cunning, nor is it discriminating. It is emanating and inclusive, open to whomever may help it to manifest and grow.
Love is not an entitlement, not an end game, not a measure of worth or value. It is the very pulse of life itself, that very cosmic connection that brings kindness, compassion and generosity right out of us. No diamond, lavish wedding, coordinated photograph or outward expression can even come close to the truth of real love.
Real love is not needy, not jealous, not dramatic, not confusing. It is an opportunity to exude and give another what you innately are, a reflective experience where you feel your full potential, the goodness in another extracts the goodness right out of you. The trick is knowing that goodness and potential have always been there. We're all born with it. We spend too many hours and too much energy analyzing and waiting for that one other person to certify our worthiness, put a stamp on our Being.
I'm not judging, usually I put very little interest in the musings and small problems of other people, but as a writer, teacher and promoter of authentic, self-contained happiness, I've got to call bullshit on some of our practices. Marriage won't validate your relationship; you're simply legally bound now. It's on paper. My husband and I have joked about getting divorced but staying together just to prove a point. Marriage is no more validating to love than a diploma is to intelligence.
It's within the heart and mind of an individual whether they live and project love or not. We can be good on paper, have a stellar resume, and a thousand luxury items, but you can't put a price on a good heart. All that's worth coveting and defining ourselves by cannot be bought. Love does not look a certain way, give something specific to you, or take something distinguishing from you. It is not something we observe, it's something we feel; deeply, in our intelligence, in our guts, our souls, in our being, not our doing.
Love is not scary, nor is being vulnerable and honest difficult. It's a choice. When you've made the conscious decision to love yourself, to accept your mistakes and accomplishments, to live a life of passion and gratitude, no single human being can give or take that away from you. All that we need we already have and all that we wish to be we already are. We must confront the lies we've been told and those we've been retelling ourselves and just like love, the honest truth will be felt rather than revealed. We must be able to be still with ourselves before we share an existence with another.
I do not believe in soul mates, in one perfect person for each of us. I believe we are all uniquely capable of connecting and exchanging love with many, some more potently than others. Love only hurts when there is attachment, and again, that is not real love. We can mourn the loss of relationships while maintaining gratitude for the profound love within ourselves. Appreciate what was and move on. If true love has existed and then passed, the remaining feelings should be nothing but acceptance, forgiveness and well-wishes. If we're scorned or betrayed, we then understand that what we thought was love, was merely the intoxicating stench of the imitator, an ego acting in disguise.
Real love doesn't enter into bondage with another only in hopes to mold the other to fit their expectations. Authentic love is acceptance, an open invitation to be just who you are. When we fall in love, it behooves us all to love the other for exactly who and what they are Now, not who they'll potentially be.
I love being alone. I love being in a crowd. I see and feel no difference in my thoughts and actions when I'm in public or private, when I'm at work or at play. It is my intention to make love, not war. This is possible for us all to embody, an overall sensation to breathe in and out. It is within our power to adjust the previous definitions and images of love to reflect reality and not a fantasy. Real love is the shit, romance is for the birds.
It is in this vein that I share a short poem I wrote. Love is an enigmatic thing. I am not attached to my thoughts and words on its behalf. I'm merely sharing for those roaming on this planet whose internal compass points in the same direction. You are all that you seek. Recognize it and you'll begin to see it in the eyes of others, feel it in their embrace, and observe it in every thought in your mind and beat of your heart. You are love.
Love is not something that turns on and off It is a continuous state of being We were born from it Not by virtue of our specific parents But by way of emerging as life on this planet Love is not something you do You cannot validate it with marriage Or children Love is something you are Or are not Love carries no opposite There is like and dislike Hate was not born, it has only been bred Love is luminous It is the conduit to perceiving light How you love is what attracts who you love Beginning with the love of self Love cannot be given or taken away It's always there waiting It's not shiny or expensive Nor can it be a commodity or weapon Love is expressed as a language understood by most forms of life It cannot be measured Life knows nothing more precise Love is ironically simple It has many imitators Even more followers But less disciples Somehow we forget our way Consumed by the end game We forget the truth There is no game You've won You're alive Breathing Conceiving There's only a game if we each agree to play Love takes no time to pause Re-strategize It knows its purpose Bliss reached Manifestation seized It only waits for the rest Those who focus on existential questions And not the obvious answer We're here to Love To feel it Reveal it Expose it Roll with it We cannot earn it Or achieve it We must receive it And be it You know what real love is It's pumping blood through your veins Breathing for you Life being lived Now It is You It is Me It is We

Summary: Why did Iraq's Saddam Hussein decide to make war on Iran in Sep. 1980, risking oil facilities, international disapproval, loss of revenues, and domestic unrest?
The usual replies focus on either of two factors: "general hostility" between the two states or Ba'th party fears that the Khomeini government would stir up a Shi'i rebellion in southern Iraq.
This essay argues that these factors worsened relations, they hardly entered into Saddam's decision to attack Iran. Rather, the war resulted primarily from territorial disputes, and especially the centuries-old conflict over the boundary at the Shatt al-'Arab River.
The essay looks at this dispute pre- and post- World War I, showing the many complications and passions concerning this vital waterway.
Two aspects of the Iraq-Iran conflict are easy to explain: which side began the fighting and why hostilities erupted in September 1980. Except for official Iraqi spokesmen, there is nearly universal agreement that Iraq initiated hostilities on Sep. 2, when it sent troops into Iran near Qasr-e-Shirin, that it escalated the conflict on Sep. 17 (by renouncing a border treaty with Iran), and that it began a full-scale war on the 22nd by sending warplanes to attack ten Iranian airfields. In each case, Iran merely responded to Iraqi initiatives.
Iraq's leaders chose an excellent moment to attack Iran. September is the right season for an infantry assault, and in late 1980 both superpowers had focused their attention elsewhere (Afghanistan and Poland in the case of the Soviet Union, the Iranian hostage crisis and presidential elections in the U.S. case).
It was also a time when the Iranians seemed least capable of defending themselves. One and a half years after Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini returned triumphantly to Tehran, the revolution had frayed: oil revenues remained low while inflation and unemployment ran high; many Iranians, especially Kurds and leftists, had openly rebelled against their government; and, most important, the large and well-armed military forces built up for years by Shah Mohammed Reza Pahlavi had apparently collapsed. Morale plummeted, discipline eroded, and troops deserted as the armed forces fell into deep disfavor under Khomeini. The mullahs purged officers, canceled weapons purchases, terminated military privileges, and established a rival force that was loyal to them (the Pasdaran, or Revolutionary Guards). U.S.-supplied materiel had been cut off on Nov. 9. 1979, five days after the seizure of the U.S. embassy in Tehran, though Tehran did manage to acquire some spare parts through third parties. Reports perhaps exaggerated the decline in Iran's military forces, but the general consensus was that Iran could no longer stand up to Iraq. Thus, Iraqi leaders had many reasons to attack when they did.
But why did the Iraqis attack? What goals prompted President Saddam Husayn's regime to confront Iran and provoke a large-scale war? What made it worth risking oil facilities, wide international disapproval, loss of revenues, and domestic unrest? Assuming Saddam Husayn is not one to act rashly or foolishly - even critics acknowledge his pragmatism - one must conclude that he had serious reasons for making war in September 1980.
Most analysts stress two factors: "general hostility" between the two sides and Ba'th party fears that the Khomeini government might stir up a Shi'i rebellion in southern Iraq. I shall argue, however, that while these factors had some role in worsening relations, they hardly entered into the decision to attack Iran; rather, the war resulted primarily from territorial disputes, especially the centuries-old conflict over the boundary at the Shatt al-'Arab River.
As tensions between Iraq and Iran rose in April and September 1980, many observers emphasized the two countries' political and religious differences, citing animosities that began in the seventh century. For instance, the Levant correspondent for The Economist wrote:
This is one of the world's oldest conflicts across a primarily racial divide. ... The origins of the present hostilities between Iraq and Iran can be traced all the way back to the battle of Qadisiya in southern Iraq in 637 A.D., when an army of Muslim Arabs put paid to a bigger army of Zoroastrian Persians and to the decadent Sassanian empire.
Geoffrey Godsell went even further in The Christian Science Monitor, calling the Arab-Persian frontier "one of the great ethnic and cultural divides on the earth's surface." When Iraq invaded Iran, The New York Times explained this as an "ancient struggle" and a continuation of the Arab effort begun in 637 to subdue the Persians. Three years later, when Iranian forces invaded Iraq, The Economist suggested this was the Shi'a of Iran's "chance at revenge" for the massacre at Karbala in A.D. 680.
But this is nonsense, and for two reasons. First, it takes too seriously the combatants' war propaganda. The regimes in Baghdad and Tehran need to motivate their troops, so they hark back to historic conflicts. There is no reason, however, to make these inspirational messages as factors in the outbreak of war.
Second, as Narayanan Balakrishnan of the New Nation (Singapore), has shown, "nothing delights journalists more than looking for historical parallels to current events. ... Nothing like a dash of history to add profundity to a mundane current event; it seems to be the current journalistic dictum. A closer look, though, shows that many of these 'historical' parallels are on very shaky ground." Balakrishnan goes on to observe, very astutely:
It is no accident that historical generalizations are made more often about the developing countries than about Europe. It is not that the French and Germans have a special gift for forgetting the past 80 years, whereas the Sunnis and Shias cannot forget grudges from 12 centuries ago. Few foreign correspondents - and even fewer Western readers - are aware that the history of Asia is also a many-headed hydra, like the history of Europe, and that it can be used to justify almost anything. That is why the Iraq-Iran conflict is more likely to be explained in terms of Shia-Sunni conflict than as the ideological, economic and territorial dispute that it is, whereas the French-German conflicts are explained in terms of common agricultural policy of the EEC without recourse to the events of the two world wars.
Indeed, many differences do separate Iraq and Iran, but their many common elements should also be kept in mind. Both countries are heirs to a shared legacy going back five millennia; both had vital roles in the ancient culture of the Middle East; both fell to Alexander the Great while escaping Roman rule; and both succumbed to Arabian conquerors around A.D. 630. Iraq and Iran had disproportionately large roles in shaping Muslim civilization, contributing some of its greatest figures, its most splendid cities, and its key institutions. Populations in both countries converted massively to Islam and today less than 10 percent of their citizens remain non-Muslim. The two are virtually alone in the world in having a majority population of Twelver Shi'is. Kurdish and Turkic minorities are numerous and powerful.
Today's regimes also share much. Both are republics that obtained power through the spectacular repudiation of monarchs: a bloody coup d'êtat on July 14, 1958, ended the Hashemite dynasty in Iraq, and Iran's Islamic Revolution of 1978-79 toppled the Pahlavi shahs. Reacting against the pro-Western bent of these monarchs, the republican regimes are nonaligned with a distinct anti-U.S. character. Iraq entered the 1980s without having reinstated the diplomatic relations with the United States it had broken on June 7, 1967, in the midst of the Six Day War. Iran under the mullahs compensated for the shah's close times with Washington by blaming the United States for every ill it experienced "from assassination and ethnic unrest to traffic jams [and] drug addiction." The seizure of U.S. diplomats as hostages led to an extraordinary burst of rancor against the United States and a nearly complete rupture in relations.
Both Iraq and Iran enjoy better, though not harmonious, relations with the Soviet Union. Iraq bought military equipment and supported Soviet actions on most international issues for years before it signed a friendship treaty in 1972. But Baghdad remained a free agent, shooting local communists and making overtures to the West from time to time. Khomeinists feared Soviet encroachment and abominated communism, yet they carefully avoided challenging the Soviet Union. Both governments are obsessed with Israel, though the Iraqi concern goes back much further and runs deeper.
Their differences fall into several categories: the Iraqi leaders are Arabs, Pan-Arabists, "Semites," and Sunnis, while the Khomeinists are non-Arabs, Pan-Islamists, "Aryans," and Shi'is. Each of these dissimilarities is claimed to have provoked animosity in Baghdad against Iran.
Arabs versus Iranians. In the ninth century, cultural antagonism between the Arab and Iranian peoples blossomed into a war of words, dubbed the Shu'ubiya. It featured an exchange of colorful insults ("fire worshipers," "lizard eaters," and the like), which has provided literary ammunition that Arabic and Persian speakers drew on through the centuries. Even today, echoes of this clash reverberate in the propaganda surrounding the war, especially from the Iraqi side.
The Shu'ubiya had a serious purpose: Iranians impugned Arabic culture in an attempt to assert the value of their own heritage. If Arabic speakers thought all Muslims must become Arabized, Iranians eloquently demurred. Being a Muslim, they replied, does not mean losing one's identity and becoming an Arab. The point was made, and today Iranians still speak and write Persian. The Shu'ubiya battle - in contrast to the exchange of missiles that began in September 1980 - was fought by the pen alone, and the Shu'ubiya legacy could have had only the vaguest influence on Iraq's decision to go to war.
Further, the distinction between Arab and Iranian had almost no political import before modern times. Until European ideas of nationalism permeated the Middle East, language identified a person's cultural background, while political allegiance depended on religious, geographic, and ethnic factors. To the extent that the notion of an Arab or an Iranian people existed in premodern times, they were defined by cultural, not political, orientations. A dramatic illustration of this comes from the sixteenth century, when the Ottoman Empire in Turkey and the Safavid Empire in Iran were often at war with each other. While the Ottoman sultan reigning in Istanbul made a name for himself writing Persian poetry, the Safavid shah in Isfahan wrote in Turkic; neither worried about the implications of using his opponent's language. Only in the age of nationalism, then, did language take on a political significance that could prompt people to take up arms.
Pan-Arabists versus Pan-Islamists. While campaigning for the presidential elections in January 1980, Abolhassan Bani-Sadr observed that Arab nationalism is hardly better than Zionism. In Baghdad, where the Ba'th party considers Pan-Arabism virtually sacrosanct and Zionism the mortal enemy, this remark caused apoplexy. But Bani-Sadr did not say this just to provoke the Iraqis; his view is in accord with the pan-Islamic ideology that reigned in Iran after the Khomeinists took over in early 1979. The Iranian Revolution brought men to power who have no use for any sort of nationalism - Arab, Iranian, or otherwise - and who despise it as a Western innovation inimical to Islam. Khomeini considers nationalism (like racism) a form of 'asabiya and, as such, a moral abomination.
Pan-Islam calls for political harmony among Muslims. At minimum, existing Muslim states should cooperate; ideally, they should eliminate their borders and unify as one state. This ideology derives from Islam, which stresses the unity of all those who accept Muhammad as God's prophet. Islamic doctrines strongly urge Muslims to follow a single political leader and forbids them from using force against each other. While these goals are obviously impractical (Muslims number over 800 million and stretch from Senegal to the Philippines), Islamic ideals remain vitally important for many Muslims. While they generally recognize that national states cannot be replaced with a single Islamic government, pan-Islamists rarely feel much attachment to existing national units. (In this, they resemble communists, who also accept the present international order of nations without giving it their ultimate loyalty.)
In contrast, pan-Arabism is concerned only with the Arabic-speaking peoples (or, about one-sixth of all Muslims). Pan-Arabism mixes the pan-Islamic urge to unify all Muslims with the nationalist urge to form a single nations. It can be understood as a modern, secular version of pan-Islam. Pan-Arabists resemble pan-Islamists in their hope to create something larger and more meaningful than the existing state system, but they differ in defining their people by language rather than by religion. Some pious Muslims, including many in Khomeini's government, consider this emphasis anti-Islamic. But it is one thing to disagree over ideals and quite another to go to war over them; nothing indicates that the Iranian government's emphasis on pan-Islamic ideals provoked the Iraqis to initiate hostilities.
Once the fighting started though, the theme of pan-Arabism versus pan-Islamism emerged repeatedly. The Iraqi government stressed the nationalistic purpose of the war: patriotic songs on television, a stress on ethnic rivalry with the Iranians, and repeated references to the seventh-century Battle of Qadisiya (when Arabians beat Iranians). In contrast, the Iranian government ignored nationalism; calling its army "the soldiers of Islam" and the Iraqi army the "forces of blasphemy."
Semites versus Aryans. The notion that a racial difference distinguishes Iraqis from Iranians often enters discussions of the factors leading up to the 1980 war. Not only is there no such racial divide between the two peoples, but neither state considers such distinctions important.
Basic truths about racial concepts cannot be repeated too often. The adjectives "Semitic" and "Aryan" refer to families of languages, not to the peoples that speak them. Arabic is related linguistically to several other languages of the Middle East, including Hebrew; modern scholars have called these the Semitic languages in reference to Shem, the eldest son of Noah. Because Semitic tongues share many traits, it is reasonable to expect that the peoples that speak them also share racial, ethnic, and cultural qualities. In the case of small, confined languages, this assumption often holds true, but this is not so with larger, dispersed ones. Peoples are constantly changing languages, so that ties between race and language are loosened with time to the point that they become meaningless.
An example will serve to illustrate this. In medieval times, English was spoken by a small insular nation whose people were usually related to one another. With the expansion of British power around the world, however, English spread to ethnic groups and races on all continents. In the United States alone, English is the mother tongue of people from every race - how can they all be Anglo-Saxons? There is no longer any ethnic or racial implication to speaking English, and the same holds for other major languages, including Arabic.
Arabic spread like English, though a thousand years earlier. It began as a local language and expanded internationally through force of arms. People from Mauritania to Iraq speak Arabic, not just because the Arabians spread out from the peninsula to cover this whole area, but because the Arabians established a new order that encouraged the vanquished peoples to change languages. Most did - hence Arabic's wide distribution today - but some peoples, notably the Iranians, kept their ancestral speech. There is no deep racial meaning here; these events might well have been reversed, with the Iraqis still speaking Assyrian and Iranians speaking Arabic. Thus, except in a purely linguistic sense, those who speak Semitic languages (commonly known as "Semites," a misleading term) share very little in common; the same applies to those who speak Indo-European languages ("Aryans"), including the Iranians.
Of course, the fact that the Semitic-Aryan distinction is misconceived does not preclude it from taking on political significance, as the Nazi experience has shown. But this has not occurred in Iraq and Iran, neither of which considers differences in language family to have much significance (although Ba'thists, as we have seen, do stress the importance of Arabic). In the 1930s, Nazi propaganda reached Iran, inspiring both a change in the official name of the country in many languages from "Persia" to "Iran" and the addition of the sobriquet "Hero of the Aryans" (Aryamehr) to the shah's titles. These pseudoscientific notions, however, did not penetrate deeply; furthermore, by enshrining racism, they directly contradict Islamic principles.
Sunnis versus Shi'is. When Christian churches split, they begin with differences over theology which later take on political significance. In contrast, Islamic schisms start as political quarrels and only later acquire theological overtones. In particular, the greatest divide between Muslims, that separating Sunnis and Shi'is, has powerful political implications. Already in the first decades of Islam, the Shi'a broke off in a dispute over rightful leadership of the Muslim community. While Sunnis accepted the best qualified man from Muhammad's tribe as caliph, Sh"is insisted on restricting the caliphate to one of Muhammad's direct descendants.
Antagonisms remained vivid throughout the centuries. Shi'is had little mundane success, while the Sunnis became numerically dominant and controlled nearly every Muslim government. Twelver Shi'a forces did capture Iran in 1501, however, and have ruled there ever since. Although surrounded by hostile Sunni states, the Iranian Shi'is did hold their own. The government of today's Iraq inherited the traditional Sunni animosity toward Shi'i rule, and that animosity remains strong today. While this factor undoubtedly exacerbated relations once the war began in 1980, there is no indication it had anything to do with the Iraqi decision to make war. Baghdad has far more pressing concerns than ancient grudges.
One of those concerns is the fact that more than one-half of Iraq's population adheres to the same Twelver Shi'i version of Islam that prevails in Iran. This engenders deep fears of a Shi'i rebellion in Iraq.
Politics in Iraq begins with the ethno-religious divisions that define the country's three largest communities: the Twelver Shi'i Arabs, the Sunni Arabs, and the Sunni Kurds. Precise figures do not exist, but most observers estimate that Shi'is of the Twelver sect constitute a majority of Iraq's population, probably 55 to 60 percent. They live predominantly in the southern half of the country and, as a community, enjoy considerably less wealth and power than the Sunnis, who make up about 35 to 40 percent of the population. (Non-Muslims number about 5 percent.) Sunnis, in turn, divide rather evenly between Arabic and Kurdish speakers, with the Arabs living mostly in the northwest, the Kurds in the northeast. Each of these three communities has an important constituency outside Iraq: the Twelver Shi'is of Iran; the Sunni Arabs in all the Arab states; and the Kurds in Iran, Syria, Turkey, and the Soviet Union.
Today, as at all times since the sixteenth century, Sunni Arabs dominate Iraqi politics. Although they constitute only one-fifth of the population, they have maintained a hold on power through all the changes in government. Sunnis ruled when Iraq was an Ottoman province, a British mandate, an independent monarchy, and a socialist republic. The Ba'th party's secular ideology did not affect the communal distribution of power; although the Sunni grip relaxed slightly when the Ba'thists first came to power in 1963, it was reasserted by 1968. Subsequently, the Sunni domination became more complete than ever before; by the mid-1970s, much of the top political and military leadership came from a single Sunni town, Takrit.
As minority rulers, the Sunni Arabs are obsessed with the prospect of losing power to the Shi'is. (Kurdish rebels merely seek autonomy and thus pose less of a threat.) Most Iraqi government actions should be viewed in light of this concern, from its aggressive foreign policy to its extreme emphasis on pan-Arabism. Pan-Arabism helps Sunni Arabs retain power by allying them with other Sunni Arab states, and by imbuing their role with ideological legitimacy. Also, since neither Kurds nor Shi'a care much for the principal goal of pan-Arabism - that of unifying all the Arabs (why would either group want to submerge itself in a sea of Sunni Arabs?) - the incessant repetition of pan-Arabist goals serves as an effective means to exclude them from political power.
Ayatollah Khomeini's 1979 rise to power in Iran made the Iraqi Sunni leadership's long-standing concern with the Shi'a population newly urgent. Khomeini demonstrated the fundamentalist Muslim's characteristic concern for fellow Muslims in other countries. For some months at least, he seemed to command a moral influence far beyond the boundaries of Iran, as Muslim rulers everywhere worried that he might inspire other Iranian-style revolts against themselves. Memories of the Middle East's last charismatic ruler, Gamal Abdel Nasser, rushed back. Kings and presidents feared that Khomeini's brand of Islam would touch the masses as had Abdel Nasser's Pan-Arabism.
To understand Khomeini's appeal, see him as a pious Muslim might. Khomeini gained eminence as a scholar and a legal authority long before his political involvement late in life. In 1963 he joined the anti-government demonstrations in Qom and had to leave Iran the next year as a result, moving to Najaf, a Shi'i holy city in southern Iraq. From Najaf, Khomeini established himself as Pahlavi regime's most outspoken and extreme critic. Living piously in modest surroundings, preaching Islamic virtues, uninterested in the modern world, he presented a picture exactly opposite to the martial glitter of the Westernized shah. As the shah's power crumbled, Muslims witnessed an old man living a simple and familiar way defeat an oil billionaire whose vast military forces enjoyed the backing of both superpowers.
This unlikely success brought to mind the drama of Muhammad, many centuries earlier. In a not dissimilar manner, Muhammad had fled Mecca under cover of night and, eight years later, returned as supreme ruler. For the Shi'a, Khomeini's story also kindled memories of Imam Husayn, Muhammad's grandson who was killed in A.D. 680 struggling against a tyrant; the shah was compared to that tyrant and Khomeini to Imam Husayn. To many Muslims, Khomeini's achievement seemed unaccountable by ordinary means; his story had a divine touch. Success made Khomeini a powerful symbol of righteous action and religious force. In a world of mundane politicians, here was a man with the discipline, stature, and seniority to make the other appear small and petty. Khomeini became the spokesman of Islam ascendant, of Islamic power and confidence returned after years of decline and apology.
Khomeini wasted little time in extending his influence outside Iran. Even before coming to power, his influence impelled Shahpur Bakhtiar to terminate Iranian oil sales to Israel. A weak financial and political base prevented him from taking direct action in most cases, but Khomeini cut trade with the Philippines, where the state was at war with Muslims. He then allowed some volunteers to depart for Lebanon to take up arms against Israel.
But Khomeini's influence was primarily rhetorical, as was illustrated one day after the attack on Mecca's Great Mosque on Nov. 20. 1979. Iranian radio quoted Khomeini to the effect that it was "not farfetched" to assume that the attack had been "perpetrated by the criminal American imperialism." On Nov. 24, he accused the United States "and its corrupt colony, Israel," of "attempting to occupy" the Great Mosque, and called on Muslims to "rise up and defend Islam." These statements inspired demonstrations and rioting against U.S. diplomatic buildings all across the Eastern Hemisphere: in the Philippines, Thailand, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Turkey, and Libya. In the most serious case, that of Pakistan, several lives were lost and a hundred more seriously endangered; in Libya, the government of Colonel Mu'ammar al-Qadhdhafi apparently approved the attack that heavily damaged the U.S. embassy in Tripoli.
While Khomeini affected Muslims in many countries, his greatest efforts were directed toward Iraq, an area of special concern to him, owing to its proximity, its downtrodden majority of Twelver Shi'is (many of Iranian origin), and his own long residence there. Shi'is had occasionally contested Sunni supremacy in Iraq, but with little success. Lacking an organization and a spokesman, they failed to make the weight of their numbers felt. Unlike previous Shi'i leaders of Iran, Khomeini took an active interest in his co-sectarians across the border. Further, he had an ideology to offer them, a populist doctrine of Islam aimed at stirring up the oppressed and quiescent masses. Khomeini's message exactly fit the needs of Iraqi Shi'is, and having lived among them for fourteen years, he knew them first hand. No doubt, too, the humiliating expulsion from Iraq at a critical moment in late 1978 caused Khomeini, a vindictive man, to hunger for revenge against the Ba'th regime.
Relations with Iraq were bad from the very beginning of Khomeini's rule. His agents helped finance Ad-Da'wa, the principal Shi'i organization of Iraq. Tehran radio urged Iraqi Shi'is to resist the government. By mid-1980, officials in Baghdad were convinced that Iranian operators in Iraq's main Shi'i cities (Basra, Najaf, Karbala', and Kufa) stood behind the thousands of Shi'is who took the streets carrying huge pictures of Khomeini and their own religious leaders. Violent attacks on Ba'th officers in Iraq were also ascribed to Iranian efforts.
Several incidents caused Iraqi-Iranian relations to plummet during April 1980. On the first of that month, an Iranian threw a hand grenade, wounding Tariq Aziz, a deputy premier of Iraq, and two students; a second bomb followed a few days later. On April 6, Iraq cabled U.N. Secretary-General Kurt Waldheim to demand that Iran pull back from the Persian Gulf islands it had occupied in 1971; Iran responded by placing its border troops on full alert. Verbal fireworks followed. Khomeini called on the people of Iraq to bring down their government: "Wake up and topple this corrupt regime in your Islamic country before it is too late." He advised the army "not to obey the orders of the foes of the Qur'an and Islam, but join the people." President Husayn responded: "Anyone who tries to put his hand on Iraq will have his hand cut off without hesitation." Khomeini retorted that he hoped the Iraqi regime would be "dispatched to the refuse bin of history."
A few days later, according to Khomeini, the leader of Iraq's Shi'is, Ayatollah Muhammad al-Baqr as-Sadr, was executed by the Iraqi government. In retaliation, Khomeini called on "the noble people of Iraq" to rid themselves of Ba'th party rule. On April 23, he called on government employees to "throw in their lot with the Iraqi people in an effort to do away with the usurping Ba'th government." Many Iranian leaders joined Khomeini in making a host of incendiary statements about the rulers in Baghdad. An Iraqi role was widely suspected when Arabs from the Iranian province of Khuzistan seized Iran's embassy in London on April 30.
Iranian officials continued the verbal threats to Iraq. In August 1980, for example, President Abolhasan Bani Sadr told a Lebanese newspaper: "Orders have been issued to the Iranian armed forces not to give way to the enemy at any place. ... The rulers of Iraq should realize that henceforth we shall not be spectators nor shall we wait. We shall take the initiative to hit them and to destroy their positions and installations."
The weakness of Ba'th rule, the volatility of Iraqi Shi'is, and Khomeini's intentions convinced some observers that fear of Khomeini prompted Iraq's leaders to make war. According to this reasoning, Saddam Husayn hoped that by seizing Iranian territory and aiding rebels there, Iraqi attacks would lead to the overthrow of the mullahs. In the view of one dissident Ba'thist in exile, "the only reason Iraq went to war against Iran was to topple Khomeini. Never in the 12-year history of the Baath regime in Iraq has the rule of Saddam Husayn come under such a threat as it did since Khomeini came to power." Hanna Batatu agrees: "the outbreak of the Iraq-Iran war ... was intimately related to Shi'a unrest." Eric Davis draws an even more ominous picture: "While there were many reasons for Iraq's invasion of Iran, the key motivation was the fear than an international Shia consciousness would develop, extending from Iran through Iraq and into Syria and Lebanon."
But this interpretation is illogical. A state fearful of restlessness among its own peoples would not voluntarily embark on a war against their foreign supporters. As with the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the attacking party is said to be defending itself from the threat of the Islamic contagion from across the border. This cannot be. If the Soviets feared Muslim unrest in Central Asia, would they take up war against an adjacent Muslim country? Would they go to war despite their fears of riling the Muslims? If the Iraqis feared Shi'a uprisings, would they attack the only state governed by Shi'a religious authorities?
Second, if concern about Shi'is had paramount importance, the Iraqi government would not have launched the war from the most heavily Shi'a portion of Iraq, the south. The two countries share a border extending some 920 miles, and it was not necessary to attack across the Shatt al-'Arab. Third, a more northerly route would have struck closer to Tehran, improving Baghdad's chances of toppling the regime. As it was, Iraqi troops made no move in the direction of the capital.
Fourth, had Shi'is been the first concern, the Iraqi government would not have attacked Iranian civilians with such brutality. The Iraqi army did not fight a clean war; for months it lobbed shells across the battle lines, indiscriminately killing civilians. Worse yet, its jets attacked cities right from the beginning of the war.
The frequently repeated assumption that the Ba'thists, fearing Tehran's influence over Iraqi Shi'is, hoped to bring down the Khomeini regime does not accord with their actual conduct of the war. Rather, Iraqi military action suggests Baghdad expected to withstand Iranian influence over half its population. It surely hoped to finish the fighting so quickly that the Shi'is would have no chance to respond; and if the fighting did drag on, the government must have decided it could withstand Shi'a discontent. If so, it was proved right, for no major problems with Shi'is arose during the hostilities. If Baghdad did worry about Iranian influence over its Shi'is, this played a minor, perhaps negligible, role in causing the war.
Neither accumulated antagonisms nor fear of a Shi'a rebellion led Baghdad to make war in 1980. The primary causes of the war must be looked for elsewhere, in the boundary issues between the two countries.
The foremost geographic disagreement between Iraq and Iran involved the Shatt al-'Arab River (Persian: Arvand Rud); other disputed territory included the three islands near the Hormuz Strait, the headwaters of rivers arising in Iran and flowing into Iraq, and the province of Khuzistan. These areas had profound economic and military importance for both countries; the stakes included maritime access, oil rights, water sources, and strategic positioning.
The key territorial problem concerned the Iraq-Iran border where it runs along the Shatt al-'Arab River, the 127-mile-long confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Home at one time to Sindbad the Sailor, the Shatt al-'Arab is a waterway of gentle charm and exotic beauty. Yet it has been the subject of claims and counter-claims longer than any other border in the entire Middle East.
Indeed, the origins of today's problems go back to the early sixteenth century; a review of this controversy clarifies why the issue remains so contentious today. In brief, Iraq wants the whole river and Iran demands half of it. Each side has a wealth of legal, geographic, and historical arguments with which to back up its claims. The Shatt's history as a border falls into two broad periods: the imperial (1514-1920) and the independent (1920 to the present).
The Imperial Period. The modern state of Iraq did not come into existence until 1920; before then, it had been ruled as three provinces of the Ottoman Empire. Based in Istanbul, the Ottoman rulers viewed Iraq primarily as a buffer protecting their Anatolian heartland from Iranian incursions. The Ottoman conquest of Iraq began in 1514 and ended in 1535 with the capture of Baghdad. At the conclusion of this war, the Ottomans signed a peace treaty with the Safavid government of Iran in which the Safavids recognized the Ottoman victories. War between these two empires resumed often during the next century, usually followed by treaties. They signed treaties in 1555, 1568, 1590, 1613, and 1618.
In 1639 a treaty for the first time laid down a frontier. The Ottomans unilaterally declared what was theirs and what was Iran's, and the Safavids accepted these terms. The treaty specified the names of towns belonging to one ruler or the other. For example, it read in part: "The fortress of Zindir, which lies on top of the mountain, shall be demolished; the [Ottoman] sultan will take possession of the villages lying westward of it, and the [Safavid] shah will take possession of those lying eastward." It did not mention the Shatt al-'Arab (see Map 1.1). According to Alexander Melamid, this treaty created "a vague border resembling a broad zone... generally over a hundred miles wide [where] neither empire exercised much jurisdiction." But, however vague, the treaty lasted without major changes for 200 years and served as the foundation for all future boundary discussions.
A long peace followed, disrupted by hostilities from 1722 to 1746. Again, numerous rounds of fighting concluded with treaties (in 1724, 1727, 1732, and 1736); the final treaty of 1746 did little more than confirm the 1639 boundaries. A second long era of peace followed, broken by war in 1821-23. The First Treaty of Erzurum, in 1823, confirmed the 1746 treaty. Twenty years later, hostile incidents between the two countries brought them to the verge of war; but this time, alarmed by the prospect of still more fighting, two European powers, Russia and Great Britain, offered to mediate, thus changing the complexion of the negotiations.
Russian conquest in the Caucasus and British control of India had given these two powers a direct interest in Ottoman and Iranian affairs. Despite their rivalry, both powers found it advantageous to settle the Ottoman-Iranian boundary. Russia hoped to build a road from its territories to Baghdad and needed a clearly defined boundary; Britain wanted to regularize the legal status of the Shatt al-'Arab before setting up a steamship company there.
Ottoman and Iranian leaders had little choice but to accept the powers' offer of mediation, and in 1843 delegates from all four countries met in the Anatolian town of Erzurum. Four years of stormy meetings and no end of haggling finally produced in 1847 the Second Treaty of Erzurum, which confirmed the first treaty and made some adjustments: Iran ceded its claims to the Kurdish region of al-Sulaymaniya and in return acquired new territory and rights in the Shatt al-'Arab area. The 1847 agreement was particularly important because it dealt with the Shatt al-'Arab in detail and because it authorized a commission to delimit the border on the ground.
In light of subsequent arguments, it is striking that the 1847 accords never dealt with control over the Shatt itself, only with the lands on its eastern bank. The river was then under Ottoman control, and the treaty assumed this would remain unchanged; the accords dealt with Ottoman possessions on the eastern bank and Iranian rights of navigation and anchorage. The key passage reads:
The Ottoman Government formally recognizes the unrestricted sovereignty of the Persian Government over the port and city of Muhammara [now called Khorramshahr], the island of Khizr [now called Abadan Island], the anchorage [at Khorramshahr], and the land on the eastern bank, that is to say, the left bank of the Shatt al-'Arab.
In an explanatory note addressed to the Ottomans in April 1847 and not seen by the Iranians until January 1848, the Russian and British governments note that by anchorage at Khorramshahr they meant anchorage in the Karun River just above its confluence with the Shatt, and not in the Shatt itself.
"As a result of this detailed definition," Melamid writes, Ottoman "territorial waters in fact extended only to the western banks of Iranian islands except where there are no islands, as for example near Khorramshahr." Prior to the 1847 treaty, the Ottomans had controlled some areas on the eastern shore, but these were now ceded to Iran. In addition, Iranian vessels gained "the right to navigate freely without let or hindrance on the Shatt al-'Arab from the mouth of the same to the point of contact of the frontier of the two Parties." Both sides had free use of the entire river. As hoped for, the establishment of the Shatt al-'Arab boundary did lead to steamship service on the Shatt beginning in 1861 and on the Karun River ten years later.
The delimitation commission called for by the treaty met initially in 1850 to survey the terrain and to place markers. But, in the words of a participant, a "spirit of chicane, dispute and encroachment" prevented work; then the Crimean War intervened, and the problem was put aside in favor of more urgent business. It then took 20 years just to produce a map acceptable to all four parties!
Oil later emerged as a complicating issue. British prospectors found commercial quantities in Khuzistan in 1908, placing new strains on Iran's single port at Khorramshahr, the conduit for nearly all heavy equipment entering the country and oil shipments leaving. Because Iran's anchorage was in Ottoman waters (in accordance with the April 1847 explanatory note), Ottoman inspectors and customs agents had a free hand to meddle in the Khorramshahr port; in response, the British resolved to transfer the anchorage to Iranian jurisdiction.
The Ottomans and Iranians met in 1911 to solve these boundary problems on their own, but eighteen meetings produced no results, principally because of differences over the explanatory note. At the same time, the Russian and British authorities again felt an urgent need to regularize this border: conflict between the Ottoman Empire and Iran might drag them into war at a time when they needed to cooperate against the growing German menace in Europe. In 1913 the four countries signed the Constantinople Protocol and agreed to a new delimitation commission. Concerning the Shatt al-'Arab, the protocol states: "The frontier follows the course of the Shatt al-Arab down to the sea, leaving under Ottoman sovereignty the river and all the islands in it" except for three islands (including Abadan Island) and "the modern port and anchorage of Muhammara [Khorramshahr] above and below the confluence of the river Karun." The London Declaration, signed by British and Ottoman representatives in July 1913, put it more concisely: "The frontier follows the Shatt al-Arab to the sea, leaving the river and its islands under Ottoman sovereignty" with certain noted exceptions. For the first time, Iran had won rights in the Shatt al-'Arab itself, in a small area around Khorramshahr.
To expedite the demarcation of borders, the Russian and British commissioners (both distinguished Orientalists) had the authority to arbitrate all disputes, and at long last the boundary was demarcated between January and October of 1914. After "seventy years of diplomatic pourparlers, international conferences and special commissions," the Ottoman boundary with Iran was thus finally settled. One participant called the process "a phenomenon of procrastination unparalleled in the chronicles of oriental diplomacy."
Far from settling the conflict, however, the demarcation merely specified it. One indication of the trouble to come was the fact that the Ottoman Empire, which joined the German war effort in 1914 against Russia and Britain, never ratified the protocols of 1913.
The Independent Period. Except for Great Britain, all the actors change in the second period. Russia turns into the U.S.S.R. and recedes from the scene in 1917, Iraq comes into existence in 1920, the Ottoman Empire disappears in 1924, and Reza Shah's strong new monarchy replaces generations of weak Iranian rulers in 1925. The political and economic stakes grew larger; no longer merely the end of a long and distant border, the Shatt al-'Arab became a vital passage and a focus of national passions. Both Iraq and Iran saw the Shatt as a vehicle to assert nationalist prerogatives. And the efforts of both states to build the bases of modern economic life - ports, railways, roads, oil facilities, and international trade - converged on this river.
Iraqis were satisfied with existing arrangements. Considering the Shatt al-'Arab vital to their security and well-being, they controlled the whole of it (except the far side near Khorramshahr). For the Ottomans, the Shatt al-'Arab was a remote concern; for Iraqis, it was the national life line, and they patrolled the river with new intensity. This explains some of the rising Iranian dissatisfaction with the 1914 boundary; passing through Ottoman control to get to these ports had been bad enough, but the Iraqi hold on the river in the 1920s was much tighter. And as oil became a major export commodity for Iran in the 1920s, nearly all of it went out via the Shatt al-'Arab. Khorramshahr had become Iran's largest port, enjoying river, rail, and road connections to the Iranian interior. It had grown so much that a separate oil terminal had to be developed in 1912 at Abadan, seven miles south of Khorramshahr.
The Iranians had other problems with the existing boundary. Reza Shah believed Iranian withdrawals in the south were not matched by commensurate gains in the north. He considered Iraq's complete possession of the Shatt an affront and an economic liability.
In 1920 Iraq won nominal independence though Britain, its mandatory power, remained in charge of foreign policy until 1932. Iran refused to recognize Iraq's independence as long as Baghdad denied the Iranian request to discuss changes in the Shatt al-'Arab (and other matters). In 1929 London assured Iran that the Iraqis would talk, and recognition followed, but negotiations went nowhere. Iran demanded half the river, which the Iraqis were hardly about to grant. In the meantime, Iran acquired a small navy, which flouted Iraqi regulations and provoked numerous incidents with the Basra river police.
The Iraqi government compiled a list of complaints against Iran and submitted them to the League of Nations in 1934: interference with navigation in the Shatt, setting up police posts and patrols on Iraqi territory, unlawful claims to territory in Iraq (a small strip of land called Sarkoshk), and the damming of a tributary of the Tigris, the Gunjam Cham River. In Iraqi eyes, these amounted to "persistent disregard and violation" of the boundary lines. The Iraqi government also brought up the issue of Khuzistan, claiming that Iraq had been unjustly deprived of its rightful land by the 1847 treaty, which ceded the whole eastern shore to Iran. In contrast to Iran, with a 1,200-mile coastline replete with serviceable harbors, Iraq had only one harbor on the Persian Gulf, Basra. The Ottomans had disregarded Iraqi interests and rights when they renounced all claims to Khuzistan in return for al-Sulaymaniya in 1847. At the very least, Baghdad claimed, it should control the Shatt al-'Arab entirely; to share power with Iran would be intolerable.
In reply, Tehran made several points. Referring to the treaty of 1847, it claimed not to have granted the entire Shatt al-'Arab waterway to the Ottomans. Further, it noted, river boundaries normally run along the midstream of the thalweg (the deepest part of a river), unless explicitly asserted otherwise; and the 1847 treaty did not indicate otherwise. It argued that the 1913 treaty was not binding because the Ottomans had never ratified it; and that the Iranian government had signed it under duress.
Iraq's government wanted nothing more than assurances of Iran's respect for the existing border and promises that its warships would abide by Iraqi regulations. Iranian authorities argued that the border should be redrawn down the middle of the river. These have remained, almost unchanged, the two states' positions ever since.
Soon after these debates in the League of Nations, a coup d'êtat in Iraq brought a new government to power in October 1936, one eager to make peace with Iran. In July 1937, it signed a business-like border treaty in Tehran, reaffirming the 1913 protocol (and thus the 1847, 1823, 1746, and 1639 treaties) while making one change in the Shatt al-'Arab border; for five miles around Abadan - the growing port that handled most of Iran's oil exports - the border was to follow the thalweg. This way, the Iranians could anchor ships in their own port without having to contend with Iraqi customs agents. The treaty also called for a joint commission to handle logistical matters concerning the Shatt, such as the use of toll funds, maintenance, and the like.
This 1937 agreement held for two decades, even as both countries came to depend still more on their Shatt al-'Arab ports. When the Basra oil fields began producing, the Iraqis constructed an oil terminal at Faw, right on the Persian Gulf. As Iran depended increasingly on imports, Khorramshahr became the country's principal port. The Shatt emerged in the 1950s as a subject of renewed Iranian unhappiness, but this time the arguments centered more on economics than diplomatics. Tehran complained that tolls collected by the Basra Port Authority went for expenses unrelated to the upkeep of river facilities (such as the Basra airport) and that the Authority employed only Iraqi nationals as river pilots. Iranian officials also noted that the commission called for by the 1937 treaty had not been established; they concluded that the Iraqi government had no intention of fulfilling its conditions and wanted to control the Shatt al-'Arab all on its own. In the Iranian view, this called the validity of the treaty into question.
Relations deteriorated still further in July 1958 when a bloody coup brought radical pan-Arabists to power in Baghdad. In the effort to assert their authority, the new rulers took several steps which aggravated relations with the shah. They treated badly the Iranians living in the Iraqi holy cities, unilaterally extended Iraqi territorial waters in the Persian Gulf to twelve nautical miles, and stirred up irredentist claims to Khuzistan. As usual, however, the Shatt al-'Arab caused the worst problems; Baghdad demanded in 1959 that Iran cede its roadsteads (sheltered, offshore anchorage facilities for ships) at Khorramshahr and Abadan. In effect, the Iraqi authorities tried to make the Shatt entirely Iraqi, altogether excluding an Iranian presence from the river. They even claimed Abadan for Iraq, possibly as a first step toward claiming all Khuzistan. To justify this stand, the Iraqis argued that their predecessors had signed the 1937 treaty under British pressure, making its concessions to Iran invalid. In reply, Iran claimed half the Shatt and declared that it would do anything necessary to protect its rights in the river. Border incidents followed, Iran reinforced its troops, and serious clashes were narrowly averted when each side retreated through concessionary statements.
Another crisis began in 1960 when Tehran, angered by the Basra Port Authority's exclusion of Iranian river pilots, appointed its own nationals to navigate boats going to and from Iranian harbors. In 1961 the Iraqis refused to allow them passage, causing Abadan port to shut down for nine weeks and leading to an eventual capitulation by Iran. This incident led the Iranian government to decrease its reliance on the Shatt al-'Arab by constructing a new oil terminal outside the river, on Kharg Island in the Persian Gulf. Repeated inspections by Iraq officials, causing delays and financial losses, particularly irritated the Iranians; they also resented the requirement that all ships sailing in the Shatt fly Iraqi flags.
Although the Kharg Island terminal opened in 1965, reducing the importance of Abadan port, Khorramshahr remained vital, and differences over the Shatt hovered at a dangerous level. Smarting over the Israeli victory in June 1967, Iraq pressured Iran to stop shipping oil to Israel and its Western backers through the Shatt al-'Arab, but Iran threatened to use force if Iraq interfered with its trade, and this time the Iraqis backed down.
Starting in the mid-1960s, the shah of Iran, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi, began a massive buildup of his armed forces, and in 1969 the Nixon administration gave him a carte blanche to buy conventional weapons from the United States. Buoyed by this support and seduced by dreams of grandeur, the shah decided to make a dramatic break on the Shatt al-'Arab issue. When in early April 1969 the Iraqi leaders laid claim to the entire Shatt, the shah's government responded on April 19, 1969 by unilaterally abrogating the 1937 treaty and announcing Iran's claim to half the river. For the first time since 1639, an existing accord had been renounced, setting a dangerous precedent.
Iranians argued that Iraq had never allowed the commission called for by the 1937 treaty to form, that it had misused toll funds taken from ships bound for Iran, and that Britain had forced the treaty on Iran. (Thus, both sides claimed British pressure had compelled their predecessors to sign the 1937 treaty.) They claimed the existing border was "contrary to all international practices and principle[s] of international law relating to frontiers" because it followed the shoreline rather than the thalweg or the median. The key passage in this Iranian declaration read:
The frontier Treaty of 1937, between Iran and Iraq, has been violated by Iraq, and as far as the Imperial Government of Iran is concerned, it has become worthless, and null and void. Further, the Imperial Government of Iran does not recognize and accept along the length of the Shatt al-'Arab any other principle but that which is internationally recognized, i.e. the Thalweg Principle, or the Median Line. It will therefore resist with all its might any encroachment upon its sovereignty in the Shatt al-'Arab and will not allow any aggression there.
Tehran enlarged its forces and laid mines. On Apr. 22, 1969, an Iranian ship entered the waterway with a military escort heading for Iranian ports and paid no tolls to Iraq. Baghdad, of course, refused to accept this unilateral abrogation. It offered to negotiate only if Iran would withdraw its forces and desist from claiming Iraqi territory. This crisis occurred at a time when many Iraqi troops served in Jordan on the Israeli front, and this further aroused Iraqi anger. Baghdad replied with small retaliations: demonstrations, with support for the Front for the Liberation of Khuzistan, subversion, and a war of words. Perhaps most serious, life became difficult for the many thousands of Iranians living in Iraq's Shi'a holy cities (especially Najaf and Karbala). By March 1972, the Iranian government counted 73,637 Iranians expelled from Iraq.
Tehran supported its claim to the Shatt by providing massive assistance to the Kurdish rebels seeking autonomy in northeastern Iraq. This tactic tied down the Iraqi army in a cruel civil war, draining the treasury and distracting the politicians. The shah indicated repeatedly that he would continue to supply the Kurds so long as his claims in the Shatt al-'Arab went unrecognized.
Iraq's weakness and isolation eventually forced the government to accommodate the shah. On Oct. 7, 1973, one day after the Yom Kippur war broke out, Iraq proposed the reestablishment of diplomatic relations. Iran accepted and, in May 1974, the two countries set up a mixed commission to delimit the boundary and arrange for troop withdrawals. Several rounds of negotiations followed, seemingly without results.
In thus came as a complete surprise on Mar. 6. 1975, at the end of an OPEC summit conference in Algiers, when Houari Boumiedienne, the Algerian president, told the assembly: "I have the pleasure to announce to you that a total accord was reached yesterday to end the differences between two fraternal countries, Iran and Iraq." The first article of this agreement reaffirmed the 1913 and 1914 protocols for the land border. The second made a critical change in the water border: the thalweg replaced the eastern shoreline as the boundary for the whole length of the disputed area, thus granting Iran its long-sought claim to half the river. In return, Iran promised, in the third article, to respect Iraq's security - meaning it would end its aid to the Kurdish rebels, whose insurrection promptly collapsed. A commission was set up to implement the agreement and to run river affairs for the two countries.
In a practical sense, granting Iran half the river in return for an end to a crippling civil war was a cheap price for Baghdad to pay; yet Iraqi leaders felt profoundly humiliated by this accord, which ran so directly counter to the Ba'th party's intense nationalist ideology. Having to give up this part of the "Arab nation" to Iranians was not much better in their eyes than conceding Palestine to the Israelis. The Iraqis had to make an agreement with Iran, but it was clear from the start that they would not indefinitely accept Iranian control over half the Shatt al-'Arab. Eventually, when they felt strong enough, they would resume their battle to control the entire Shatt.
And so they did. Watching the decline of Iran's military forces, dissension among the minorities, and growing dissatisfaction with the rule of the mullahs, Saddam Husayn renounced the 1975 treaty on Oct. 30, 1979. During the next two weeks, at Iraq's embassy in Tehran and its consulate in Kermanshah, diplomatic incidents occurred, but matters remained unchanged in the Shatt al-'Arab itself, where Iraq did not challenge Iranian control over half the river. A year later, on Sep. 17, 1980, Saddam Husayn again announced that Iraq had terminated the 1975 Algiers Agreement, saying that Iran had "refused to abide by it" and calling the Shatt "totally Iraqi and totally Arab." Coming after two weeks of border fighting and accompanied by Iraqi efforts to control the entire Shatt, this abrogation led to full-scale war. On Sep. 23, Iraq announced three territorial conditions for ending the war, beginning with Iranian recognition of Iraqi claims to the entire Shatt al-'Arab waterway.
The Shatt has long been a contentious border, but until 1969 the two sides managed to settle their differences peacefully. The shah heightened the dispute in that year when he provided military help to the Kurdish rebels in Iraq, and Saddam Husayn further raised the level of violence in 1980 when he went to war over the river. This trend will probably continue: the Shatt has steadily increased in stature as an economic asset and a point of national pride. There is every reason to expect this dual importance to grow further, making the Shatt al-'Arab a focus of strife for years to come.
The greater meaning of all these centuries of to and fro over the Shatt lies not so much in the details - most of which have been omitted here for the sake of brevity - but in the long record of concentrating on the Shatt al-'Arab as a vital area. This river is unique in the Middle East; no other boundary has a record so long and so emotional. Virtually all other borders were drawn by colonial administrators in the twentieth century. While it has become a matter of national pride to maintain those borders, they are not invested with long histories. In contrast, the boundary between Iraq and Iran had two centuries of dispute even before they European powers became involved.
The Shatt al-'Arab dispute alone was serious enough to induce either party to go to war. The legacy of centuries, the vital interests, and the national pride involved all ensure its importance. Even if Iraq and Iran were homogeneous, and even if Iraq had no Shi'a problem, the Shatt al-'Arab issue would have sufficed to cause war to break out in 1980. The territorial explanation acquires added weight when several other geographic controversies are taken into account.
Other Disputes. Baghdad's key statement of Sep. 23, 1980 mentioned the need to resolve two territorial differences with Iran in addition to the Shatt al-'Arab: three Persian Gulf islands seized by Iran in 1971 and water rights to rivers arising in Iran and flowing into Iraq. These issues, as well as differing plans for the future of Khuzistan, also contributed to the outbreak of war in 1980.
Abu Musa and the Greater and Lesser Tunbs are three tiny and uninhabited islands close to the Strait of Hormuz. Though without value in themselves, they have supreme strategic value and offer potentially lucrative offshore drilling rights for oil. The islands belonged to the Trucial States (now called the United Arab Emirates, or UAE) as long as the British maintained a presence in the Persian Gulf. But on Nov. 30, 1971, just one day before the British pulled out of Trucial Oman, the shah sent forces to occupy those islands, claiming that as successor to Britain in the role of protector of the gulf, he had to control the islands. (One might wonder along with J.B. Kelly, "why or how the passage of shipping would be endangered by the islands remaining in Arab hands - or, conversely, be safeguarded by their being transferred to Persia.")
Arab states reacted furiously but took no active steps. As Iraqi ambitions grew in the late 1970s, its rulers too wanted control over the islands. Claiming to act on behalf of the United Arab Emirates (though not asked by them to do so), they sent a letter to the U.N. secretary-general on Apr. 6, 1980, demanding that Iran withdraw its forces. Turning the islands over to Iraq became by September one of Baghdad's conditions for ending hostilities.
While ostensibly undertaking this effort on behalf of the "Arab nation" in general and the UAE in particular, there is every reason to suppose that once the islands came under Iraqi control they would remain there. Baghdad would no doubt note how much better it could protect the islands than the UAE (just as the Khomeini regime refused to let the islands go on the grounds that Iraq would turn them over to the United States). Possession of Abu Musa and the Tunbs would greatly enhance Iraq's naval presence in the Persian Gulf and improve its claims to offshore oil reserves. These islands promise to remain an issue in the years to come.
The battle over the headwaters of rivers arising in Iran and draining into the Tigris - hundreds of miles to the north of the Persian Gulf - is often forgotten. Nearly 30 rivers begin in Iran's mountains and flow into Iraq, a sure recipe for confrontation. Water use is not regulated; the many accords going back to 1639 neither discuss the apportionment of water nor ensure the rights of existing users (with one exception: the waters of a small stream, Gangir, were divided evenly in 1914, but even this lacks a mechanism for distributing the water.) The lack of agreement means, according to Vahe Sevin, that "increased withdrawal of water across the border, particularly during the low-water period of the streams, is carried out without consideration of the consequences of such action to the areas on the other side of the boundary line." In 1959, Iran diverted one of these rivers for its own use without asking Iraq's permission; acute shortages in the neighboring Iraqi provinces resulted, followed by belligerent diplomatic relations.
Initial hostilities in September 1980 involved these headwaters. On Sep. 2, clashes began near the town of Qasr-e-Shirin; the next day, Iraq shelled it and two nearby towns. Fighting in the north continued to predominate until Sep. 17, when President Husayn announced Iraq's claim to the whole Shatt al-'Arab; at this point, attention shifted to the south. A U.S. correspondent visited Qasr-e-Shirin in June 1981 and found the once-thriving town of 50,000 Iranians bereft of civilians and occupied by Iraqi troops who had demolished the town, apparently by hand, and dug themselves in for a long stay.
Khuzistan plays a different role in the hostilities, for Baghdad did not make control of this province one of its stated goals. Nonetheless, Iraqi leaders surely aspire to conquer it. Iraq has some claim to it and would profit enormously from its possession. Three potential gains stand out.
First, Khuzistan's population has historically been about 80 percent Arabic speaking and thus appears to Ba'thists as part of the "Arab nation"; it used to be known as 'Arabistan, "land of the Arabs" (and still is in Iraq). The area had been under Ottoman rule or enjoyed autonomy for centuries before it fell under the control of Iran's central government in 1924. It would be a supreme triumph of pan-Arabism to win this land for the Arabs; such an achievement would catapult Iraq to the political leadership of the Arab world.
Second, Khuzistan contains nearly all of Iran's oil. Wining control of the province would in one blow add hugely to Iraq's oil reserves while detracting from Iran's.
Third, control of Khuzistan would end Iraq's vexing lack of Persian Gulf shoreline. At present, Iraq holds only about 40 miles of coast, most of it unusable, and its ships have to pass extremely close to Iran and Kuwait. Taking Khuzistan world free Iraq from these limitations and strengthen its naval power in the Persian Gulf, especially since the Khuzistan ports (Khorramshahr, Abadan, and Bandar-e-Shahpur - now called Bandar-e-Khomeini) are well developed. Iran's remaining coastline, though long, would include few facilities and are far from population centers. Even if taking Khuzistan is only a remote possibility, then, the possible advantages to Iraq are so great that they surely must have entered into Baghdad's calculations and must have added importantly to the other reasons for going to war in September 1980.
The Islamic nature of Iran's revolution caught foreign observers off guard. Who in the late twentieth century would expect that a doctrinaire religious leader calling for a return to old laws could captivate the citizens of Iran and become undisputed ruler by popular acclaim? This single event devastated modernization theory (that is, the notion that the whole world must follow the Western path to modernity) and made a mockery of the idea that Iran had become Westernized during the shah's reign. Hardheaded analysts who had long neglected Iran's cultural and religious factors were unable to account for Khomeini's dramatic repudiation of Western goals or his insistence on remolding Iran along age-old Islamic lines. While some writers continued to discount the role of religion even after the revolution, most recognized their earlier mistake in ignoring Islam. Indeed, since the rise of Ayatollah Khomeini, Westerners have tended to overemphasize Islam. Edward Mortimer notes that "where before Islam was largely ignored, now it is seen everywhere, even where it has no particular relevance."
Burned once, analysts applied their newly acquired sensibility to the Persian Gulf's next crisis - the war between Iraq and Iran - seeing this primarily in terms of cultural antagonism, religious differences, and communal fears. While such factors did in some way contribute to a hostile mood, ascription of the war to these hazy antagonisms misses its immediate and direct causes. This time - perversely - a proper understanding of events in the Persian Gulf does not require an appreciation for religion and ethnic divisions but, rather, an appreciation for geography and economics. Iraq launched the war to win full control of the Shatt al-'Arab River and to gain the many benefits of ruling additional territory.
Jan. 7, 2010 update: Much has changed over the 27 years since this article first appeaed, but the Iraq-Iran border remains a source of dispute. From an article today, "Iran foreign minister in Iraq over border dispute":
Iranian troops have been stationed near Iraq's al-Fakkah oil field along the two countries' disputed border since Dec. 17. Iraqis in several cities have held demonstrations demanding their government take action.
Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari said the two countries will begin three weeks of bilateral meetings aimed at resolving the dispute. "We have agreed to normalize the border situation between the two countries and return to the situation as it was before," Zebari told a joint news conference with Manouchehr Mottaki, his Iranian counterpart. Zebari said Mottaki's visit was an "indication that there is an honest desire to find solutions to the border dispute."
About your article, about CAIR I should say that CAIR has done the most fantastic jobs so far in the United States.
I wish you the same work as CAIR does. I believe we should not criticise an organization which works for the welfare of American people. CAIR is an organization which works for Christians, Jews, Muslims, Hindos and all other people alike. I have seen CAIR's good work and that is why I am in favour of CAIR. Accusing CAIR type of organization by anyone could be a personal jealousy or personal hatred. I haven't seen anything bad in CAIR's efforts. I believe we must support and praise CAIR types of organizations rather than accusing them, because I think any organization or individual who does good, should be praised. I am sure you agree with me too. Let's work for the unity and betterment of America and American people and all stand united. |
4,785,081 | Don Purse, a Scottsdale resident and owner of several Valley mobile home parks, claimed he was in fear of his life last year after he shot his former tenant, Danny Morales.
Morales, 51, was 20 years younger than Purse and bigger when he allegedly attacked Purse on December 11, 2012. But the facts show that Purse had a couple of advantages, himself: He had a .45-caliber pistol in his hand. And he was seated in the driver's seat of his pickup, apparently with the motor still running.
The incident is one of three similar cases we reviewed for our feature article in this week's New Times, "License to Kill."
The other two cases also involved men who were sitting in their vehicles when they shot unarmed men standing just outside: The high-profile, road-rage cases of Scottsdale lawyer David Appleton and John Chester Stuart. A grand jury refused to indict Appleton. Stuart was convicted last month by a second jury; the first trial ended in a hung jury even though Stuart had represented himself.
The Purse case has been low-profile so far, having been covered only by one or two TV stations on the day of the shooting. But like the Appleton and Stuart cases, the shooting of Danny Morales and the lack of any charges so far for Purse symbolizes the permissive self-defense laws in Arizona.
We're not saying Purse wasn't justified, because we weren't at the scene when Morales was killed. Evidence detailed in a preliminary police report shows that Purse probably took at least one punch to the face by Morales.
But the fact that Purse was in his car, armed, and Morales was on foot, unarmed, certainly raises questions. A paucity of witnesses makes the case even more problematic, as our story relates. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office has not yet received the case for review from the Sheriff's Office.
Arizona law states that, with some exceptions, citizens are presumed to be acting in self-defense when they use deadly force against people who have entered or are attempting to enter their home or vehicle with bad intent. As a defense lawyer told us, the ultimately standard is reasonableness -- that is, the law doesn't protect people if it's clear no threat existed.
When witnesses are few -- or there are no living witnesses, as in the case of Appleton -- police and prosecutors must rely on the word of the person who used deadly force. For better or worse, depending on which end of the gun you're on, Arizona law clearly leans toward protecting the person claiming self-defense.
If you're claiming self-defense, that means less risk of prosecution for doing something that you believed saved your life. The law also has potential for abuse. Since the Trayvon Martin case in Floria, debates are still going on around the nation about "stand your ground" laws and whether they need to be changed.
Senator John McCain says the State Legislature lawmakers should review Arizona's self-defense laws in light of the Martin case. Firearms advocates tell us they don't expect any changes next year from the gun-friendly Legislature.
Our feature article this week gets into the nitty-gritty of the debate. In it, you'll hear from David Appleton about the night he shot Paul "Tom" Pearson, family members of one victim, and various firearms and legal experts.
One of the most satisfying desserts I’ve encountered recently is the kunefe made at TurkDish, a small family-run restaurant tucked deep into the folds of a Chandler shopping center.
There are many fine renditions of kunefe (or knafeh, one of many regional spelling variants) made around metro Phoenix. But the baked-to-order kunefe at TurkDish is notably great. It’s the kind of photogenic dessert you eat with your eyes first: Its glossy, syrupy crust, coated in thread-like phyllo dough, resembles something like a bright orange bird’s nest. You plunge your spoon into its crust, generously varnished with syrup, and spoon out the sticky, sweet-savory clot of melted cheese lurking beneath. The stretchy cheese, so hot and soft it’s almost liquid, melts right into your jaw. It’s really something.
Kunefe seems best enjoyed with something hot to drink, and the natural choice here is Turkish tea. But whether you order dessert or not, a meal at TurkDish inevitably ends in traditional fashion: with tea. The dark, slightly bitter liquid is poured into short, tulip-shaped glasses, and whisked to your table at the end of your meal as a complimentary token of hospitality.
Fresh-baked kunefe with tea is one of the distinct pleasures of dining at TurkDish, but it’s not the only one. Since opening in early 2015, the restaurant has quietly amassed a neighborhood following, thanks to a satisfying menu of traditional Turkish specialties, including popular staples like döner kebab.
The small restaurant itself is bland yet comfortable, outfitted in standard strip-mall four-top tables and booths. Any discernible ambiance is derived from the dining room’s sparsely decorated walls, which feature kilim rugs and framed landscape art of Istanbul. Service is informal yet also attentive, which elevates TurkDish from a quick-and-dirty takeout joint to the kind of space you don’t mind spending time in.
This is an especially good place to come with a group — the more mouths around the table, the more excuses you have to linger over the top-notch selection of meze starters.
There’s an appetizer sampler plate, a safe bet for larger groups, which includes staples likes hummus, fresh pita bread, sarma (rice-stuffed grape leaves), and baba ganoush. All of it is terrific, but the baba ganoush — rich, smoky, and creamy — is exceptional.
Sigara borek, long, cigarillo-shaped pastries stuffed with cheese and parsley, are so crisp and delectable, you may as well order a whole plate of them. And there’s ezme, a chunky and spicy relish-like salad made with roasted eggplant and peppers. The flavors are bold and bright, a nice counterpoint to the creamy and meat-laden dishes you are likely to come across during your meal.
It’s worth looking at the small salad menu, if only for fattoush. The brightly colored bread salad is markedly fresh and full of texture, thanks to extra-crispy shards of toasted pita, tossed with fresh hunks of cucumber, tomato, and red cabbage. The fattoush is dressed simply with olive oil and lemon, and a dash of tangy sumac spice.
Don’t overlook the lahmacun, a dish sometimes described as “Turkish pizza.” The thin, round flatbread features a baked-in layer of spicy minced beef paste, beautifully seasoned with tomatoes, onions, and parsley. The texture of the flatbread is gorgeous — thin, slightly chewy, elegantly crisp. To eat it like you would in Istanbul, squeeze some lemon on it, roll it up into a thin flute, and enjoy.
Scratch-made falafel, meanwhile, are available as both a starter or an entree, and they’re some of the best you’ll find anywhere in town. The falafel is cleanly fried, nicely craggy and crisp, suffused beautifully with fresh herbs.
But you came for the döner. Often described as the Turkish analog to gyro, both beef and lamb varieties at TurkDish are made in-house. The slow-roasted meat is highly seasoned and sliced into thin, delectable scraps. The beef döner, on a recent visit, was so tender and slippery, you could fold it right into your mouth.
Other highlights include Adana-style kebabs, named and modeled after the famously spicy kebabs of Turkey’s fifth-largest city. On a recent visit, the juicy, sausage-like kebab was beautifully grilled and served off the skewer, a sort of long, thin, densely seasoned tendril of meat.
Apart from dessert, the most indulgent thing I’ve ever eaten at TurkDish is Iskender kebab. The butter-perfumed dish involves meaty döner slivers, served over cubed pita bread and bathed in a butter-infused tomato sauce. Plain yogurt, whisked lightly and poured on the side, melts into the dish, turning the sauce into a light cream. It’s wonderful.
At TurkDish, even a humble side of white rice is capable of inspiring joy. Twice, on separate occasions, I’ve overheard a diner inquiring about the rice. Why does it taste so good? I heard a woman ask her server recently. The short answer, according to my server: butter, lots of it. It makes for extra-fluffy rice that delivers a surprising amount of savory flavor.
At one time, TurkDish was known for selling fresh-baked goods on Saturdays. The restaurant no longer keeps baked goods in stock, unfortunately, but you can still place orders ahead of time. On the bakery menu is simit, a round pastry known as a Turkish bagel, and börek, a spinach and cheese phyllo pastry that’s especially popular around the holidays.
Always available, though, is the aforementioned kunefe, an indulgence that’s well worth a trip to TurkDish, along with a delicious and readily available walnut-stuffed baklava. And, of course, there’s always hot Turkish tea.

A set of 18 patches were published on Wednesday to improve the X.Org's Xfbdev frame-buffer device X server for old Atari and Amiga hardware.
The patches enable all non-packed frame-buffer layouts to use ShadowFB acceleration and evdev is used rather than the broken KDrive keyboard driver. With Atari, 1/4/8 bpp modes now work while 2 bpp isn't yet supported. On Amiga, 1/4/8 bpp also work while 2/3/4/5/7 bpp modes are not yet supported and there's also some keyboard mapping issues.
Uytterhoeven says about his Xfbdev patches, "I haven't benchmarked it yet against XF68_FBDev 3.6, but it's unusable slow on my Amiga 4000/040, even for just moving the mouse pointer. May be due to excessive TLS syscalls with recent glibc. It is usable on ARAnyM on Intel Core 2 Quad." |

"The issue then is about legal admissibility, but as a parent, I don’t think legal admissibility is my concern, my concern is my child." He says shaking a baby is a serious and often deadly problem. He warns of the damage it can do to a young, developing brain. "It probably takes two or three seconds, but in two or three seconds you can do 6, 7, 8 shakes back and forth, so in almost no time you can cause damage." First Coast News asked him what parents should look for if they have their suspicions. "Let’s say we have a situation where someone is concerned about a concussion, concussion symptoms are that you may not eat as much, you might stare more, you might have some kind of behavior change, disrupted feeding patterns and sleeping patterns." The symptoms he describes sound similar to those of Aiden’s, according to his parents. "If it’s a medical issue, I would get a medical second opinion, I love DCF and the state attorney’s office, but they are not medical," said Randall. Aida and E.J. have been collecting all of their medical paperwork, as they insist doctors didn’t pick up on Aiden’s symptoms soon enough and they still feel like DCF and the State Attorney’s Office hasn’t done enough to help them when they expressed their concerns. They say the communication has been lacking and there seems to be a major disconnect between agencies. Furthermore, they're upset their nanny was able to bail out of jail so quickly. They say she had another additional, older child at the home the day the incident was caught on video. They say she never asked if it was okay if she watched another child in addition to their own children.

This didn t sit well with the Williamses. John, who works for the Montana Department of Corrections, often interacts with people facing the reality of our finite time on Earth. If you re spending the rest of your life in prison, you know, it makes you think about the mortality of life, he says. What s important is not how long you live, but rather what you do with the life you re given. MaryMargret feels the same way. For years she has worked in a local dermatology office. She knows all too well the cultural pressures to stay young, and wishes more people would embrace the inevitability of getting older.

"Patient presents with persistent delusions of being a sandwich. Effects on the patient's daily life include: Social disruptions. Hoarding of condiments and rubbing said condiments on skin. Fixations on being liked by others, but specifically as a sandwich. Patient demands to be tasted."
The entire script is fucking broken to pieces, so I just decided to list the top twenty failings of this release.
Karaoke: Of course not. The groups this season are apparently shit and unable to make even the most basic karaoke. Although, I suspect they’re lacking karaoke because their TL’s too stupid to translate it.
Chapters: Like most of the groups this season, Chiki is too fucking stupid to know how to chapter shit.
Preview: Untranslated. Perhaps for the best, as I’m not sure the English language could take any more abuse.
Fun fact: These morons encoded their “HQ” release with a raw that was a smaller size than their LQ one. Way to fucking go.
You oughta capitalize Senpai here. It’s taking the place of a name like “Jim” and you’d capitalize that. Follow through. :/
Friendship appeal? I sort of understood this Japanese vaguery from the context, but goddamn does it sound stupid.
I don’t give a shit if this is a fansub or not. You can’t randomly capitalize words. It doesn’t make your release more “kawaii”. It just makes it shit.
Also, this isn’t Canada. Fansubbing, I’m call you out on your shit. Don’t fucking use “Eh?” all the time. There are fifty other words for confusion, among them “What?” “Huh?” and “The fuck is this shit?” (as in “The fuck is this shit? Someone should feed Chiki’s staff to a meat grinder.”)
“Well, we couldn’t do anything before, but if we try our best…” As if those bitches weren’t straining their panties to the limit before…
This is one of the many sentences in the release that lack ending punctuation. As for improper capitalization and comma usage, that shit was so rampant I didn’t really consider it an error worthy of noting in the top ten – rather, it’s a feature of Chiki-subs.
They didn’t even say they were “double”. What does that even mean here? I think Chiki needs to be a taught a lesson. :/
You’d think this line would have some sort of continuation. Something that follows his “fire or water” comment. You wouldn’t be thinking like Chiki, then. It ends right here.
You left half your fucking script in Japanese and seppuku (capitalized in this script for some reason) is the only one you decided to TL Note, and you called it an Editor Note? And in it, your editor spelled “integral” wrong? Really? Wow…
This line makes absolutely no sense, ever. Several museum pieces around the world are normal? In Chiki-land are there only like 10 museum pieces? Most of them are fucking normal, dipshits.
This is one of those lines where you see one problem and are like “Oh, I can fix that”, but then you see another problem and are like “Well, I guess I can fix that too” and this continues about five times before you scrap it and re-do the whole thing from scratch.
They’re not quite F- material (that honor goes strictly to Espada), but they’re trying their best. Avoid if at all possible. You may just become dumber by watching their subs.
Their habit of making the border colours match the speaker’s hair is very annoying, too. Nearly all of the lines are impossible to read anyway, without the added bonus of the lines making no sense.
Hmm I sorta like it when the sub colours match the character’s hair, but only when done correctly and it doesn’t affect readability. The only example I have is Static-Sub’s Angel Beats!, whose subs I thought were exceptionally good.
Chiki and SubDESU are doing R-15 as a joint project this season. Those two combined could create an Espada-tier release.
Just wanted to comment on number 17. You said that a comma should come before the word “but”. I don’t think this is true because “but” is a conjunction. As a conjunction, it joins together 2 words. Therefore, it is unnecessary to put a comma before the word “but”, is it not?
There are some points where you need the comma and some points where you don’t. Here, I think it did.
The multicolor border thing can work, if you use a border that’s more than 1 pixel, bold or naturally thicker-stroke fonts, and a little shadow. None of which were done here, of course. Not to defend utter shyte like this, but plenty of other fansubs and even some R1 subs are guilty of leaving “#-chome” in Japanese. So that’s not a unique crime or failing of chiki here.

244,104,625 | Maria Mitchell was the first American woman to work as a professional astronomer. She was also a respected educator.
Maria Mitchell became a popular figure after she discovered a comet in 1847. But she was most influential as the first woman to work as a professional astronomer in the United States and as a teacher who launched the scientific careers of many other women. Mitchell was an energetic spokesperson for women's causes; she particularly stressed the idea that women had the necessary intelligence and observational abilities to pursue scientific studies and careers.
Mitchell was born in Nantucket, Massachusetts, on August 1, 1818. She was the third of the ten children of William and Lydia (Coleman) Mitchell, descendants of Quakers who had emigrated from England. Mitchell came by her love of learning naturally. Since her mother worked in libraries, she became an avid reader. Her father, a teacher and banker, was also an accomplished amateur astronomer, providing Maria early exposure to that field. The island of Nantucket was an important whaling center, and William Mitchell was frequently hired by sailors to check the accuracy of their ships' chronometers--a timekeeping tool--by comparing them to observations of the stars. As Mitchell matured, she began to assist her father in his astronomy work. Another important influence on the future astronomer was the community of Nantucket itself, an environment where people knew and appreciated natural phenomena. She once stated that her stargazing practices were not unusual on the island: "In Nantucket people quite generally are in the habit of observing the heavens, and a sextant [a tool for measuring the angle or altitude of celestial bodies] will be found in almost every home."
Mitchell attended a local girls' school for a while before entering a school run by her father, where students were encouraged to make all types of observations of the natural world. She then attended a school run by a man named Cyrus Pierce, completing her education at the age of 16 and staying on to teach for a time. At the age of seventeen she opened her own school, beginning of a lifelong interest in education. She was unconventional in her approach to teaching, sometimes starting the school day before dawn to allow students to see certain birds, or extending class time into the night to encourage astronomical observations.
In 1836, she became a librarian at the Nantucket Atheneum, a post she held for 20 years. Since the library was open only in the afternoons and Saturday evenings, she was able to spend a great deal of time studying a wide range of books and observing the sky. Some of her reading included French authors, books on mathematics, and Bodwitch's Practical Navigator. In the evenings, she and her father would take notes on the objects in the night sky from a small observatory William Mitchell had constructed on the roof of the bank where he had become the principal officer. Their research was so detailed and accurate that it eventually drew the attention of a number of astronomers, including the director of the Harvard Observatory and the superintendent of the United States Coast Survey. The Mitchells' observatory was named a station of the Coast Survey, for which they provided information on movements and locations of the stars and the Moon.
On October 1, 1847, Mitchell discovered a comet. Her father reported her finding, but because two other scientists in Europe also had claimed to have found it, it took nearly a year to determine that Mitchell had actually spotted the comet first. Once designated the discoverer of the comet, Mitchell quickly became known around the world for her accomplishment. She was awarded a gold medal from the king of Denmark, and in 1848 she was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the first woman to be so honored. Later in life she would break another barrier in academic organizations, becoming, in 1869, the first woman named to the American Philosophical Society. She was also the subject of numerous magazine articles and began correspondences and friendships with a number of notable people in the sciences, including Joseph Henry, a physicist and director of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
Mitchell's recognized skill as a scientist brought her other opportunities as well. In 1849, she became an analyst for the American Ephemeris and Nautical Almanac, a publication of astronomical tables that was primarily used for navigation by sailors. Holding this paid position for about 19 years, Mitchell helped to make accurate calculations of time, latitude, and longitude. She was named to the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1850.
Mitchell was given the opportunity to travel to Europe in 1857 as the chaperon for the daughter of a wealthy Chicago businessman. In Europe, she visited a number of observatories and met such famous individuals as American author Nathaniel Hawthorne (1804-1864), astronomers John Herschel (1738-1822) and Mary Somerville (1780-1872), and the philosopher and naturalist Alexander von Humboldt (1769-1859).
In 1865, Mitchell became professor of astronomy and director of the observatory at Vassar College, a newly founded women's college in New York. As she had done during her early years as an educator, Mitchell ignored the usual lecture method of instruction, stressing small classes and individual attention. At Vassar's observatory, Mitchell continued her astronomical research, studying and photographing sunspots, analyzing changes on the surface of Jupiter and Saturn, and investigating binary stars and nebulae (large cloudy bodies of dust in space). Mitchell's students worked by her side in her research, and she would take them on trips across the country to make observations on astronomical events such as eclipses. A number of her students went on to become noted astronomers themselves.
Mitchell's lasting contributions to the field of astronomy are probably more in her work as an observer and teacher than as a theoretical astronomer. As an observer, she was especially interested in the Sun, witnessing several total eclipses, and watching sunspots to try to understand their origin and changes. She believed they are rotating, gaseous storms on the solar surface. She assessed Jupiter's clouds very much as modern scientists do, arguing that they are not simply atmospheric phenomena, but part of the planet itself. She guessed that these clouds are pushing upward and moving at different rates. Like Mitchell, astronomers today believe Jupiter is a gaseous planet without a solid surface. Regarding Saturn, her claim that the rings and the planet are composed of different material anticipated modern findings.
Mitchell became a leading advocate of women's rights, arguing that women were suited for mathematics and other sciences. She also strongly believed that scientific methods could be applied to solve social problems, an interest that led her to be named the vice president of the American Social Science Association in 1873. She toured Europe again that year and helped found the Association for the Advancement of Women, a moderate feminist group that she served as president from 1875 to 1876 and as chair of the science committee until her death.
Mitchell taught at Vassar for twenty-three years, retiring in 1888. Although she was offered a permanent residence at the school's observatory, Mitchell returned to a family home in Lynn, Massachusetts, where she died in 1889. She was buried in a cemetery near the place of her birth on Nantucket. In Nantucket in 1902, the Maria Mitchell Association was founded by a group of women to honor Mitchell's memory and to encourage further scientific research by women. The association, which occupies the house where Mitchell was born, built an observatory next to the Mitchell House in 1908; it has since become a center for astronomical research. Mitchell was also remembered for her pioneering work as America's first female professional astronomer with a bust in the New York University Hall of Fame.

Many of us agree today that the form of social organization that prevails in most parts of the planet is leading us to crises on all fronts of our lives: disconnecting us from vital and social decision-making, reducing us to a form of currency as a workforce, individualizing and alienating us and destroying all forms of life and resources on Earth.
We think that this destruction, our internal emptiness, and the separation from what we could potentially be is not just the fault of bad rulers or unscrupulous capitalists. It is something inherent to the system’s dynamics, reaching across its institutions and the values of domination that configure it.
Domination is submission exercised through the medium of power. This dominant power manifests itself visibly through the monopoly of physical violence (genocides, assassinations, torture, repression, etc. exercised by repressive forces), and in more accepted ways through other forms of structural violence and social control: wage labor, private property, mass media, advertising, paternalistic social services, etc.
Overall, we can say that domination and the concentration of power are steadily increasing in most places.
Domination seeks to undermine human dignity, which is the seed of resistance and motivation for the construction of other worlds. Indigenous and aboriginal peoples in resistance, self-managed social and political movements and collectives in every corner of the world continue their long battle to defend the Earth from exploitation, their cultures from dismantlement and their people from humiliation. In the country as in the city, dignity provides legitimate forms of self-defence for peoples, human values and humanity itself.
Mobilizations multiply where dignity resists: insubordination and disobedience reinforce non-collaboration with the dominant structures (states, institutions and corporations).
These are the points of resistance to assimilation and they stand up in the face of power. These are collective intelligence in a state of motion and creation. These assert the necessity of other worlds which are already starting to become reality.
These points of resistance are also hope. Right now, they show the unwillingness to accept the current barbaric reality. Yet, we have to lament that many transformative efforts are only focused on resistance and are centred on requests for reform.
We think that in order to resist and, above all, overcome the current system, we have to self-construct ourselves as individuals and as collectives; we have to build a new society.
For some decades, and accelerating in recent years due to the systemic crisis that currently prevails, different processes of social self-construction are being born and are gaining strength, as beacons of reality that illuminate hopes for a complete transformation of society.
Some of these initiatives are coordinated with one another, but in general we find that there is substantial disconnection and lack of shared work between different movements and affinity groups. At the same time, we see that often we push aside the work of personal and collective development necessary to achieve the changes that we want. We think that there is work to do to find ourselves a common framework that takes an autonomous and decentralised form, permitting us to row together in a common direction, in an autonomous and decentralized way, and in a way that enables us to build ourselves as well as our capacity to resist.
A vital step in this process of moving forward towards this convergence and common framework is to create meeting spaces to deliberate, reflect and work on the concrete forms that will develop this revolution.
As the Zapatistas have recently expressed, it is the moment of yes, the moment to meet those of us who:
«… answer affirmatively to the question “Could there be another way?” What we lack is a response to the questions that follows this “yes”: How is this other way? This other world? This new society that we imagine, that we want, that we need? What do we need to do? With who?»
They also said that if we have answers to these questions, now is the moment to share them. It is as if we, the promoters of this call, were waiting for this moment. It is right now that the promoters of this call are prepared to facilitate the sharing of answers.
It is for all of these reasons that we have come to write this call, to talk about the answers, to meet together and build an international convergence space; that we have called Bloc for the Integral Revolution.
The basic principle is the fight against all forms of domination and the construction of alternative societies by way of an Integral Revolution.
We shape this as a set of ideological bases that we are illustrating in the following points, which will require further work and elaboration to form the founding manifesto of the Bloc:
We reject any form of domination or discrimination between people, based on any reason, like sex, gender, sexual orientation, culture or ethnicity, age, inheritance, class, etc.
We promote mutual aid, solidarity, trust, respect and fellowship. In general, love between human beings.
We want to revert the degradation of the human beings, which occurs in the majority of places around the world, which we see as consciously cultivated by the dominant elites. Because the more empowered people are, the more insecure the current system is.
We need a desire for improvement, based on active listening and constant reflection, as well as on the habit to accept criticism from others and from ourselves to enable this improvement.
The popular assembly, as a way to decision making with equality of voice and vote, is the legitimate form of organization of any collective, community or peoples, as it is a necessary condition for freedom.
Sovereign popular assemblies: the self-determination of peoples through this form of horizontal social organization, free commitment of individuals and peoples to communities and federations.
Relationships between peoples and communities based on solidarity, freedom and decentralisation: equitable and horizontal interdependence; a willingness to coordinate and interact, from the most local and regional level to the wider geographical scale, deciding on a small scale whenever possible and only on a wider scale when absolutely necessary (principle of subsidiarity, confederation, fractality, etc.)
Building-in diversity, respecting human and personal differences, including minorities in all assembly-based decisions.
We have to recover control of land and means of production for the common good, granting its availability through collectivization (communal ownership) for the public good.
We reject private property as a tool of the powerful classes to accumulate capital and establish control over the ownership and use of land and the means of production, perpetuating the regime of domination by wage labor, accumulation, exploitation and speculation.
Self-interest brings to us alienation and disaffection, destroys communal ownership and communal goods.
We work for the common good, to ensure that all of our vital necessities (food, health, housing, education, energy, transportation, etc.) are covered through a truly public system, built by ourselves and based on self-management, cooperating with one another and promoting the values and abilities that are essentially human.
We reject the State as a system of control based in exploitation of humans by humans. So we also reject the paternalistic social services provided by the State, which support individualism and undermine self-empowerment. We reject the control of public services by powerful minorities (either the State or the markets). And therefore we also reject the private corporate-elitist network controlled by those minorities.
We denounce capitalism as a means of production and trade based on competition, exploitation of the weak and limitless growth.
We denounce the current financial system, dominated by centralized and private banks, and we reject charging interest on money.
We intensely promote cooperative work and consumption. We are for the eradication of wage labor and in general against the exploitation of labor.
We propose alternative currencies, direct barter, gift economies and community economies as practical tools for a new economic system.
An economy as local as possible and avoiding the need for intermediaries. Equitable relations between producers and consumers.
We apply the principles of cooperation, conservation and respect in our relationship with the natural world, of which we are part, and we ensure good shared lives with the rest of living beings. What’s more, local popular sovereignty allows and fosters these principles.
We take into account the cycles of natural life, to ensure the sustainability of human activity, from generation to generation.
We denounce the values and dynamics of the current system that destroy or put at risk many forms of life, including ours, and at the same time exhausts non-renewable resources.
We must take advantage of renewable resources in a decentralised way, promoting the self-sufficiency of human communities, reducing the scale of large cities, eager for vast amounts of resources.
Coherence between means and ends: the process of the Integral Revolution is a transition from the current system towards a new society and humanity. The path to go from one to the other is one of learning and must reflect where we are going. It matters, then, that the means to effect this transformation be in agreement with the ends that we desire.
Dialectical and simultaneous relationship between values and structures: a change in values is necessary to change the structures, but achieving a deep and broad change of values requires new structures that foster and enable their practice.
In coherence with our ends, we have to realize the Integral Revolution from a base of local groups, standing for decentralization and local actions, but with a global vision and thinking. If this simultaneously progresses in several territories and regions, it will be much stronger and unstoppable.
The peoples, and the communities that comprise them, have an inalienable and legitimate right to organize themselves, and to defend their life, their security, their culture and their lands and territories in the way that they consider most convenient, as long as they aim for the maxim “to minimize violence against human beings and maximize respect for freedom and life of others.”
In order to be able to achieve this revolution, we consider general disobedience legitimate and necessary in order to extract the maximum of resources, work and legitimacy from the current system and dedicate them to the new society in construction. We think we each have to use disobedience in our own context in whatever way that maximizes our transformative action.
To raise awareness about the problems of the current system, a crisis of values and human qualities, and the possibility of overcoming them.
To construct a collective identity, multiple counterpowers, that can spread, promote and steadily push forward in a clear form the altersystemic proposals around the Integral Revolution.
To know and make visible the existence of specific forms of social construction that share the ideological space of the Integral Revolution, to inspire a generation of new similar processes.
To work under a common framework that denounces domination and promotes the creation of new societies: creating synergies, debating, sharing tactics, resources and plans of action between people that share the framework.
We propose the Bloc as an ideological reference and not as an organisation, in accordance with the proposed objectives and to streamline its operation. The member collectives of the Bloc, and the projects that come into it, will be totally autonomous. We propose that the aspects of how the Bloc works (members, communication tools, meetings, decision-making, etc.), we will develop together in the process before the meeting.

285,661,199 | “The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity” report, also known as TEEB, was the first large scale research that attempted to monetize the environmental and social costs of economic activities that are unaccounted for.
These costs are known as external costs (or externalities) and are imposed on parties that are not involved in the economic transaction that caused the costs. Well known examples of externalities include the effects of acid rain or nuclear waste storage, but also lesser known costs such as the displacement of people due to ecological degradation of their habitat.
The first set of results that were presented in 2008 already showed that business as usual would lead to annual external costs at least as big as the total cost of the 2008 financial crash. They also showed that ecological conservation measures such as the declaration of non-fishing zones are (maybe the most) cost effective ways to increase economic output. The first TEEB report marked the beginning of the understanding of the true risks and costs posed by environmental degradation on the economy and society.
In April 2013 the TEEB for Business Coalition published a new report listing the top 100 external costs and their magnitudes. It also identified the sectors with the highest externalities per region.
The report limited itself to primary production and processing sectors, leaving out downstream and product-use impacts. This means that the actual figures are even higher than the investigation shows. It should come as a shock to realize that many sectors cause higher external costs than that they make profits.
In other words, if those costs were internalized, the companies would be bancrupt within years. This should shed new light on coal power generation in Asia and North America or cattle farming in South America, two of the top five sectors with the highest impact on natural capital.
The TEEB study showed that the costs of natural capital losses need to be estimated at USD 7.3 trillion annually, roughly 13 per cent of the global economic output in 2009. One could say that this would be the first ever estimation of the price to resolve the tragedy of the commons.
A conclusion that can be drawn from this new TEEB study is the need to incorporate its findings into existing economic models and theories in order to provide decision makers with the total picture.
As an example, let us consider the 2004 model of Ulrich Steger (IMD) defining a ‘Smart Zone’ that tries to define the business case for sustainability investments by companies. (see figure “The Smart Zone 1.0″)
This model still forms the basis of influential reports such as the “SAI Guide to sustainable sourcing of agricultural raw materials” (2013) or a FAO report on cotton production in West Africa (2006), but it needs revision in the light of the TEEB findings.
As a result of new insights into external costs, the main shortfall of the Smart Zone as designed in 2004 lies in the fact that it only considers the individual economic performance of a single company. In order to be more realistic, the model also needs to include the collective economic performance, being either positive or negative. Important to note is that economic performance in this context also includes externalities, i.e. the economic valuation of degradation or creation of natural and social capital.
This adjustment would do justice to the fact that perfectly compliant companies nowadays still have negative impacts on environmental and social systems. They are still decreasing global natural capital, and with it the capacity for future value creation, including their own capacity to create economic value in the long run.
Therefore, the model should put a new threshold at the point where externalities are neutral. That marks the point where individual economic value creation is at least as big as the collective economic equivalent of environmental and social value degradation. Preferably, this point would mean that the economic activities of an individual company have zero negative impact on environmental and social systems.
The vertical axis of the ‘Smart Zone 2.0′ is enlarged with the negative dimension of this axis, defining the collective perspective on economic performance as opposed to the limited, individual perspective.
The second change is to accompany the conventional compliance level with a level where externalities are neutral. (This would in fact be the compliance level in a sustainable society.)
Changing the model in this way results in two negative zones at either end of the horizontal axis (Individual Economic and Social Performance = ESP), meaning that the performance of the individual company results in a net negative (collective) economic impact.
The Smart Zone keeps its meaning, but it is probably smaller. Furthermore, companies that believe to be in the Smart Zone under the 1.0 regime, might find themselves still in the Negative Zone under this new version. This is due to the fact that current levels of compliance still allow companies to have negative impacts on natural capital that are larger than their economic profits.
Lastly, what I call the “Beneficial Zone” represents investments in ESP by individual companies that decrease their own economic performance, but still yield a positive collective performance. This is beneficial to society, but does not improve the economic performance of the individual company.
This might be a typical zone in which companies invest in ESP because they think it is “the right thing to do” but does not directly show on the bottom line. Nonetheless, these activities can add non-economic value.
This first revision could serve as an example to a general revision of economic theories, which need to be adjusted for external costs of natural and social capital.
This might bring an end to the side effect of many current models and theories, that now appear to sanction activities of individual companies that result in net-losses for humanity and are in essence self-destructive.

In the path of prosperity, modern economies devastated many of the natural resources. In the name of economic growth, industrial activity squandered ecosystems services (responsible for the maintenance of biodiversity), disfiguring nature on several fronts. Arguably, climate has been – and is being – caused by “man-economics.” The goal? To make the economy grow exponentially producing in excess to meet the excessive consumption. The result? The environment threatened by excessive consumption. The result of this? Environmental depletion.
If we do not change the current economic paradigm it is the very economy that increasingly plays into the abyss of destruction, as Lester Brown remembered, “the economy depends on the environment. If there is no environment, if everything is destroyed, there is no economy.”
Regarding this line of analysis, Clovis Cavalcanti tells us that “there is no society (and economy) without an ecological system, but there can be an environment without society (and economy).” “Without recovering the environment, the economy is not saved, without recovering the economy, you don’t save the environment,” contextualized the U.S. ecologist Berry Commoner (1917-2012).
So, metaphorically, if the economy is a human body, the digestive tract is contemplated here, since it receives from nature and returns matter and energy in the form of waste. Reaffirming that idea, we should remember a passage from Nicholas Georgescu-Rogen (1906-94): “The economic system consumes nature – matter and energy with low entropy – and provides garbage – matter and energy high entropy – back to nature.”
Therefore, it is of fundamental importance to subordinate the growth to the limits of the ecosystem, since growing beyond the “normal” is highly detrimental to the environment. Therefore, the new economic paradigm must converge with the ecology, since we depend on this for our own survival. The challenge is unique: produce more (welfare) with less (natural resources). Produce more quality (development), not quantity (growth).
Hence the maxim that we are therefore dependent on the environment, thus contradicting the speech of René Descartes (1596-1650) that “we are masters and lords of nature.” For this idea of the French philosopher, the economy wasteful of natural resources, managed by “economic man-” would be acting correctly in propagating destruction, pollution and environmental degradation, since to generate wealth is generated before the destruction of nature.
The future of life – and especially of human life – on Earth, shall depend on the direction that we give to the economy today. If our ultimate goal is the continuity of the life of our species we should follow the prescriptions advocated by Georgescu-Rogen: “(…) one day humanity will have to reconcile development with the economic downturn.” Otherwise, we will perish.

80,409,248 | Last year it was Frequieres, this year the campaign weekend was about twenty kilometres outside Paris and seven of the 45eme were bound for adventure in the French countryside.
Our camp site was on the edge of a farm, I presume, as there was the shell of a barn at our disposal and a rectangle of rocks that marked out a firepit, and a latrine made out of a box over a hole with a wall of twigs and sticks but no door, so singing or whistling was required when occupied.
We all contributed some rations to a stew and then some disappointing news came that apparently the farmer had decided we could not use the land where the second nights camp was meant to be, some of the French wanted to be static but some of the more mobile souls wanted to set off into the wilder regions for a stop over in the woods next night. (later it emerged this might have had more to do with some organisers not wanting the French forces to split up). Oh well, food was eaten, wine was drunk and we crashed out on the ground in various degrees of makeshift shelters from just a cover to a canvas sheet roped up to trees.
I did wake up in the night when I got bitten and could feel something moving about in my trousers. I don't know why anything would venture into my trousers or just how they get in, the top is belted and the bottoms have gaiters over shoes again with straps at the top. It turned out to be a beetle about the size of a twenty pee. Reveille sounded at 6, The morning was misty.
Not having to march straight to a point in the woods to make camp at the end of day some saw fit to empty their packs of all unnecessaries, I however wanted to keep all my food/drink/gear with me as I would if I was on campaign, I was here to live it more than ever.
Down grassy paths we travelled, along hedgerows and through woods, and (unlike last year) it was not long before we saw some of the enemy in the opposite tree line, greater numbers emerging than last year, we let through a King's German legion trooper who had twisted her ankle, and then the first vollies started flying. Skirmishers peppered shots at us, and we marched forwards, then back again. The enemy passed down a wide track to the left soon followed by their cavalry. Word was we had won that fight as we were deployed in line again a force coming on in columns or dribs and drabs.
we metaphorically counted to one hundred to let the allies go, and set off again, coming out of a wood someone thought they had heard noises behind us, I volunteered to go back and look, and just as importantly in a wood, listen. but no one was there. we made to cross a mowed down wheat field, everytime this raised the question of 'What if the cavalry come out now?' it nearly came about but we managed to scrambled into a bushy area and gave them fire, caught between two units the horse retired.
More marching, par le route, and it seemed we were looking for a source of water which was eventually found at a cemetary with a tap although myself and the Caporal had got a local lady to provide a couple of bottles which she literally ran in and out of the house to fetch. The locals would provides taps and hoses for water on several occasions. Opposite the cemetary we crashed out, some folk took off sweat damp uniforms to hang over a wall to dry.
When we set off again down a road between woods the cavalry came up behind us but it seemed they merely wanted to pass and trotted off to by pass us, further down the way we skirmished in the trees in pairs whilst larger groups held the road, rushing down a slope towards more firing many of us took a double take at a couple standing obliviously in the middle of fire and fury to film a video with their ipad.
Out in the open came a great melee as troops were fed into the throng seeming to give us the advantage of numbers, but the Belgian cavalry appeared and came round the flank, our two intrepid scouts (chasseurs a cheval) met them but outnumbered it would only prove a speed bump. Our group fell back into the trees but were given an ultimatum by a dashing Dutch officer to re-join our main force or be shot. We decided on the not being shot.
We all stopped in some trees on a slope to regroup and catch breath but the big Belgian unit were already coming on! unarmed I went forth to meet them and offered their Captain a drop of brandy, he declined, but I negotiated a five minutes armistice.
Shortly after skirmishing resumed but the day was drawing to a close and it petered out. It was quite a long way back to the camp after a day of marching and fighting and it wasn't long until the army started to straggle apart. At one point we found a young recruit just sat in a cottage doorway clutching an empty water bottle, don't know how he came to be alone without water but we gave him some and a bit of bread cake and took him with us. It was a challenge not to drag our feet on the way back, with long sighs as we turned a new corner to see the road went up a long sloping hill. sacre bleu!
On making camp we collapsed and many stripped down to trousers, some in bonnets, to hang up sweat damp clothes and the camp must have looked a bit like Smurf village. Each group was awarded a bottle of wine for our efforts. Many of us spend the evening 'Walking like John Wayne.'
That night having been denighed a rougher camping site I stole away a distance with just a blanket and my rolled up hábit (jacket) and slept under a tree, quite well until the thunderstorm. Starting in the distance until the lightning crackled overhead and the thunder was accompanied by rain and dogs howling like wolves! Fortunately the tree I was under was not straight and afforded better shelter than a straight trunk.
Sunday saw our group up and ready to march before time, and ourselves and a small unit of line Grenadiers were posted to keep watch around a crossroads (a track) opposite the village.
We watched and waited and heard the enemy drums.. from where exactly though? And then it all went quiet. Split into our skirmishing pairs we took to different points.
We waited longer then moved towards a corner of a wood where upon enemy cavalry appeared. We gave fire to support the small group of grenadiers on the path.. they gave a small volley but the rules of engagement were that infantry lose to cavalry when in the open. (Six men do not make a square)
Having crossed a ditch and began up to the village we were fired on from the treeline, a patrol of Scots lights and Landwehr.. skirmishing broke out as our officer, a good man, joined us and we advanced. One of the foe shouted an 'An officer!' and fired. The officer promptly moved close behind soldat Bonbon for the rest of the advance. At the end of which we formed and charged up an awkward thickly wooded slope. A close flash of fire was odd and it would turn out our leader had a bad, black burn on his lower leg, although after treatment he was fine getting about.
Having taken the patrol prisoner we took them up the slope to the village by the church and awaited the arrival of the main allied army, surely with us skirmishing and some support fire from the Imperial guard cannon they cannot have failed to hear the noise? Locals had also been attracted to see what was going on. One of them brought a tray of tea for the prisoners but as guards we also indulged, one pot was mint tea which was very refreshing. Then the enemy were spotted at the far end of the slope, they sat amongst the trees, presumably having a rest before launching an assault. I finished my tea and was relieved of guard duty as the prisoners gave their parole. We waited a bit more.
The order for us to march down the side of the field and form a firing line came but by now their was a sense of reluctance, no one wanted to go far. The allied cavalry thundered passed and attacked the undefended cannon and crew but this was apparently to give the locals something to look at. As we formed line some grumbled that the cavalry might return to try and hit us in the flank.. some French had also called it a day, in ones and twos firing off their rounds and going to the rear. The rest of us fired down towards the Belgians at extreme long range, really to provoke a reaction 'Come and get us!' but still nothing. with a shrug we turned around and called it a day. A few of us helped move and limber the cannon up. Off to lunch!
And so in a small park the weekend ended with bread, melons, pate and cidre. Soon after we marched back across the field with the crossroads and began to pack up.
A stark contrast of events was seeing pictures of Detling military odyssey where impeccably clean redcoats marched out of their tented camp with flags flying to the sound of 'Hearts of oak' and polite applause to fire a few vollies at some pirates before giving a hurrah and being back in time for tea and biscuits. I still enjoy those events, mainly because I am there with good friends, but after a campaign weekend they do feel a bit like a Church fete.
This is one of my favourite images of the weekend, by photographer Nicolas Villeret having seen Albrecht Addams watercolours of scenes from the Russian campaign, the tired figure, sans one shoe, so echoes those images of a tired soldier.
La Bossiere-ecole is held once every two years but I hope there will be an alternative one in France next year. There is such an event hosted by two rifles groups in the UK next month but work life gets in the way. I'd like to do one in UK although I am aware what a 'crowded isle' the UK is, whist continental Europe has more open rolling, wooded country where the locals don't mind a bunch of grown men playing soldiers across fields and lanes.
This is also last Napoleonic event of the year, a good end! Remind me to make repairs and replace those lost buttons before next April.

Two bills that would allow for greater protections for those who protect and serve moved one step closer to becoming law today. Both bills passed this afternoon with bipartisan support during an Executive Session of the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Public Safety, which I chair.
Assembly Bill 75, which I am proud to author, would allow qualified members of the US armed forces serving in Wisconsin to obtain a concealed carry permit. This bill was initially requested last legislative session by a commander at Fort McCoy as a way to make Wisconsin friendlier towards the brave men and women stationed in our state.
Currently, Wisconsin has concealed carry reciprocity with 29 other states, which allows residents of those states who carry a valid concealed permit to carry in Wisconsin. However, under current law there is no option for those serving from non-reciprocity states to legally carry concealed in Wisconsin. This common sense measure will allow those who risk their lives day in and day out to protect our country to lawfully carry concealed and protect themselves in Wisconsin.
Assembly Bill 77 also got the stamp of approval in committee today. I am a cosponsor of this bill, which would allow residents of Wisconsin who were formerly employed in law enforcement in another state to apply to carry concealed in Wisconsin. Officers put themselves in harms way on a daily basis for the safety of others. This bill honors that service by affording them the opportunity to continue to protect themselves and those around them while living in our great state.
Both bills passed the Assembly in June and would need to pass the full Senate before they can be signed into law.
There has been a startling rise in violent crimes in Milwaukee this year, with the total homicides this year so far surpassing the city's total for the whole of 2014. These grave statistics have a real impact in our communities as families lose loved ones to senseless violence.
Assembly Bill 220 helps address this problem by creating a mandatory minimum prison sentence for criminals who possess a gun and commit certain crimes after being convicted of certain violent felonies. Current Wisconsin law generally prohibits a person from having a gun if they have been convicted of a felony, but unfortunately sometimes this is not enough to keep them from re-offending.
Violent felons are barred from owning guns for good reason. Creating a mandatory minimum sentence will help make violent felons think twice before buying a gun, and help make our communities safer for us all.
On Tuesday, September 8th, I was pleased to attend the Racine County Farm Bureau Annual Meeting and Dinner. At the event I met Ms. Anna Ranke (pictured above with me and her parents).

140,291,508 | Raised in the Primitive Baptist Church, Beulah Buchanan at age 16 marries the much older deacon Ralph Rainey to escape from her oppressive parents, thus jumping from the frying pan into the fire. Over the next six years, Beulah works in her domineering husband's cafe all day and cooks him dinner at home every night, dutifully attends church, and falls into an affair with the preacher. When she embarasses her husband by not cooking enough food for the ravenous visiting revival preacher, Ralph "chastises" Beulah with his belt. When he tries to beat her again on another occasion, she fights back and locks him in the cooler at his cafe, where he freezes to death. This sounds like and is a Southern Gothic tragedy, but it is told in Beulah's voice, which is innocently hilarious. Beulah is an original, but readers who liked Clyde Eagerton's Raney and Mark Childress's Crazy in Alabama will hear familiar echoes of those Southern women protagonists.

A solid liberal arts education has long proven to be the best preparation for most professions and positions of leadership. Through a strong education in the arts and sciences, Samford University students develop intellectually and personally, acquiring the broad understanding and diverse skills that modern society requires.
Samford seeks students who have demonstrated high standards of scholarship, outstanding personal character, and serious educational aims. Admission standards are competitive and selective. The Admission Committee selects the entering class from among those whose academic performance gives the strongest promise of success in college. It is Samford’s intent to maintain an undergraduate student body with diverse backgrounds, interests, and abilities.
Students who wish to attend Samford University should complete an application for admission. Submit applications and related documents to the address listed below or
Prospective students are encouraged to visit the campus. To schedule your visit, contact: Office of Admission, Samford University, 800 Lakeshore Drive, Birmingham, AL 35229, or telephone (205) SAMFORD [726-3673].
The information that follows is general policy and pertains to undergraduate programs. Graduate and professional degree programs may have different policies. For information about these, contact the administrator with responsibility for the program in question.
Academic Renewal Student-An undergraduate student who has dropped out, withdrawn, or has been suspended because of academic deficiencies but has demonstrated sufficient maturation to be considered for re-enrollment.
Early Entrance to College-An exceptional high school student who meets specific qualifications to be admitted to Samford University prior to completing a traditional four-year high school diploma program.
Evening Student-A student who has been out of high school for at least three years and is unable to enroll in a day program.
Freshman-A student who is a high school graduate and has not enrolled in any accredited college or university.
Readmission Student-A student who previously attended Samford, left, and desires to return to Samford, including students who were required to withdraw.
Transfer Student-A student who has attended another accredited college or university and desires to attend Samford to pursue a degree.
Transient Student-A student who is regularly enrolled in another college or university but desires to take a course(s) at Samford.
Applicants are encouraged to complete the process as soon as possible. Delays in the admission process could also adversely affect other processes important to eventual enrollment, including financial aid and residence life. Also, if transcripts are being sent to us from other institutions, please allow for the time it takes for us to receive them. See Admission Procedures below.
Once students have been notified of admission to Samford, a $250 Enrollment Confirmation/Housing Deposit must be submitted to the Office of Admission to reserve a place in the entering class. The deposit is nonrefundable and is applied to first semester costs. The entering class must be limited to support an optimum living and learning environment. Deposits will be accepted until May 1 (the National Candidate Reply Date), after which eligible students will be placed on a wait list and selected as space becomes available.
All application materials received by the Office of Admission are considered confidential. Application materials will remain active for one year for students who wish to defer admission and enrollment. Only materials provided directly from an applicant can be released.
The Admission Office coordinates Orientation sessions for new students and their parents. Orientation provides parents and students the opportunity to learn more about the campus, faculty, and staff, and the opportunity to talk to current Samford students. New students will register for their fall classes. Orientation is required for all new students enrolling at Samford. Students who fail to register for an orientation session are subject to being charged the orientation fee and will have a class registration hold until the orientation requirement has been satisfied. More information on New Student Orientation, including how to register, can be found on the Admission website: www.samford.edu/admission.
Samford University seeks to enroll students who are capable of success in a challenging academic environment and who demonstrate a commitment to the Christian mission and purpose of the university. Every application is individually evaluated from a holistic perspective, which includes consideration of the applicant’s personal integrity, moral character, academic preparation, achievement and potential, leadership of and participation in extra-curricular activities including school, church, para-church and community organizations, and likelihood to make the most of the opportunities and resources that are available to Samford students.
In addition to the traditional evaluation of transcripts, the Admission Committee also takes into account standardized test scores, autobiographical essays, and letters of recommendation, as well as the rigor of an applicant’s high school or college curriculum and how he or she has participated in and contributed to those academic settings. This process is indicative of Samford’s competitive admission environment and level of selectivity, which will likely increase for each ensuing class. With limited offers of admission, the Admission Committee endeavors to measure an applicant’s particular interest in Samford, both academically and as a potential contributor to the university community. An applicant’s FAFSA information is not considered in the admission process, and, accordingly, the university does not provide the scholarship assistance that will be required by all who receive an offer of admission.
The university reserves the rights to reject any application without explanation and to rescind an admission if (i) between the date of an application and the start of classes there is a change in the condition or status of any information provided by the applicant that would have been a basis for denying the application when it was reviewed by the Admission Committee or (ii) any information provided by an applicant proves to be untrue at the time of its submission.
Samford University does not discriminate on the basis of sex, race, creed, or national origin. Religious institutions such as Samford University may be exempt from certain provisions of federal laws concerning non-discrimination. All inquiries and complaints should be directed to the University Legal Counsel at 800 Lakeshore Drive, Birmingham, AL 35229.
Samford scholarships and university aid are awarded to students who have distinguished records of achievement. The university believes the lives and commitments of such students hold great promise for addressing the vital issues of the future. The Scholarship Committee seeks students who intentionally use their exceptional talents, abilities, and personal commitments to better society. Due to limited resources, the committee utilizes the funds available to impact affordability for as many students as possible. At all times, it is understood that recipients of these funds will maintain high standing in academic, social, and residential areas of campus life. For more information on scholarships, including deadlines and recipient guidelines, visit: www.samford.edu/admission/scholarships
An official high school transcript of your academic work should reflect a strong scholastic history. Successful applicants for admission should emphasize the following units in their secondary coursework: four units of English, algebra I and II, geometry, two laboratory sciences, two units of history (not including state history), and two units of a foreign language. Successful scholarship applicants typically present a curriculum that includes outstanding performance in four units of English, four units of math, three laboratory sciences, three units of history, and two units of a foreign language.
Applicants who have the GED (General Educational Developmental) diploma may present an official score report in place of the high school diploma. The ACT or SAT will be required unless the applicant has been out of high school for at least five years. Nursing applicants are required to submit standardized test scores.
Complete an application form online at www.samford.edu/admission or submit a Common Application available at www.commonapp.org, and include a $40 nonrefundable application fee.
Request two official transcripts from your high school to be sent to the Office of Admission. One should be sent at the time of application. The second one should be sent at the completion of the senior year certifying graduation. Transcripts must be mailed by the school to the Office of Admission in order to be considered official or be submitted electronically via other approved methods.
Official test scores, sent to Samford directly from the American College Testing Program (ACT) and/or the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT I: Reasoning Test, or SAT) are required. Samford’s institutional codes are: 0016 (ACT) and 1302 (SAT). Scores received via other means may not be accepted as official.
Arrange for submission of the School Recommendation Form provided on the online SU application and the Common Application.
Write an essay of approximately 500 words. In your own words, respond to one of the essay questions in the admission application form online.
Samford welcomes applications from exceptional students prior to their high school graduation when, in the opinion of the applicant, the applicant’s parents, and school officials, enrollment at Samford University will enhance the educational experience beyond that available in high school.
It is expected that students who enter this program have been out of high school for at least three years and are unable to enroll in the day program due to work schedules, family concerns, or other reasons. Professional Studies is the administrative office that serves evening students. (See the Professional Studies, Evening and Online section of this catalog.) Professional Studies staff can assist you with academic advising, admission, and other areas of concern. Contact them at (205) 726-2898.
Have an official transcript with three years of secondary school of all academic work, including mark sheets, examination results, certificates, diplomas, etc., sent to the Office of Admission. This includes any college credit earned in a university not in the United States. Certified copies of all academic work not completed in an English-speaking school should be submitted to the World Evaluation Service (WES), or Education Credential Evaluators (ECE), requesting a Course-by-Course Evaluation. Information regarding WES and ECE is available from the Office of Admission.
Have official scores on the ACT or the SAT sent to the Office of Admission by the respective agency. If official ACT or SAT testing agencies are not available, students may have official scores on the TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) or IELTS sent directly from the Educational Testing Service to the Office of Admission. A competitive score of 575 (paper) or 90 (Internet) is expected for TOEFL and 6.5 for IELTS.
Supply a copy of your official Government documentation (visa or passport) to the Office of Admission.
International students interested in Samford aid should submit a financial affidavit of support, supplied by Samford, in order to be considered.
The maximum aggregate total credit an entering freshman may bring to Samford through dual enrollment, Advanced Placement (AP), College Level Examination Program (CLEP), DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST), or International Baccalaureate (IB) is 30 credit hours.
The Core Curriculum is a distinctive of a Samford education. As part of the Core Curriculum, only UCCA 101 Communication Arts I is eligible for dual enrollment, AP, CLEP, or IB credit. All other Core Curriculum courses, including UCCA 102 Communication Arts II , UCCP 101 Cultural Perspectives I , UCCP 102 Cultural Perspectives II , UCFH 120 Concepts of Fitness and Health , and UCBP 101 Biblical Perspectives must be taken at Samford and cannot be satisfied through dual enrollment credit or credit by examination.
UCCA 101 credit may be met by a score of 4 or 5 on the AP exam for either English Language or English Literature, a score of 5 or higher on English A1 for IB, or a dual enrollment composition course at the equivalent level.
English Composition II, Western Civilization and World History courses taken as dual enrollment may be considered for elective credit. English Composition II will not satisfy UCCA 102 credit. Elective credit for Western Civilization and World History may satisfy a general education humanities requirement, depending on the student’s major. They will not satisfy the requirements for UCCP 101 or UCCP 102.
AP, CLEP, DSST, and IB credit is awarded with the minimum exam score reported from the College Board, Prometric, or International Baccalaureate. Please refer to the Credit by Examination Policies section below for more information.
* Students who successfully meet the minimum score for both Advanced Placement English Literature & Comp and English Language & Comp can receive credit for UCCA 101 plus 4 credit hours of general elective credit.
** Students who successfully meet the minimum score (4) for language at the intermediate level, receive a maximum of 8 credits for 201-202 and do not receive an additional 4 credits for exceeding the expectations of the 102 elementary level.
*** A score of 3 or higher on the BC exam earns credit in MATH 240 and MATH 260 , regardless of the AB subgrade.
† The Division of Music will allow Music Theory as AP credit pending the student’s successful evaluation regarding that subject at Samford University.
NOTE: Credit earned with the minimum score required will be applied with a grade of “P.” No letter grade is applied. Credit hours are earned, but no grade or quality points will be included in the GPA calculation.
College-level credit is awarded for scores of 50 or higher in most subject areas; however, students should consult with their advisors or the Office of the Registrar before scheduling any CLEP examinations. With the sole exception of UCCA 101 , CLEP credit is not acceptable for University Core Curriculum courses.
* Students who score a minimum of 50 on French, German, or Spanish CLEP tests receive a maximum of four (4) credits at the elementary level (102); students who score 62 (French), 63 (German), or 63 (Spanish), or higher receive a maximum of eight (8) credits at the intermediate level (201-202). No more than 8 credits are awarded for the language CLEP test. No credit is given for FREN 101 /GER 101 /SPAN 101 .
Samford University recognizes the quality of the International Baccalaureate (IB) Program and welcomes application for admission from students who have taken coursework in the IB program. Credit is given for the IB Higher Level Examinations passed with grades of 5, 6, or 7. No credit is given for the IB Subsidiary Examinations. In cases of ambiguity, the dean of Howard College of Arts and Sciences, in consultation with the Office of the Registrar, will determine the credit to be awarded.
DANTES Subject Standardized Tests (DSST) are evaluated on a case-by-case basis upon acceptance to the University. All scores of 50 or above will be considered.
Samford recognizes the rigor of the GCE (General Certificate of Education) examinations and will review results on a case-by-case basis. Approved credits may be granted for each A-level exam with a passing grade. No grades are posted for A-level or AS-level exams.
General elective credits in the subject area will be awarded unless the discipline’s academic department has previously approved course equivalencies. If equivalent courses are needed for a specific major, students will need to consult the academic department once they arrive on campus to have the chair evaluate the syllabus/content of the A-level or AS-level exam.
Duplicate credit for the same subject taken on different exams like A-level, ASlevel, AP, or IB will not be granted.
Advanced credit policies are reviewed on a regular basis and are subject to change. They cannot exceed the maximum aggregate total credit an entering freshman may bring to Samford.
Samford awards credit for students who successfully pass a National League for Nursing (NLN) RN challenge exam. Contact the School of Nursing for more information.
The aggregate of credit earned in dual enrollment, extension, correspondence, AP (Advanced Placement), and CLEP may not exceed 30 credits. At least 50 percent of the credit in each degree program must be earned from Samford, with none of the credit mentioned in the previous sentence counting toward this residency requirement. Also, a minimum of 15 credits in the major field (with nine at the 300-400 level) must be taken at Samford. For a minor, a minimum of nine credits in the minor field (with six at the 300-400 level) must be taken at Samford.
Transfer students generally receive favorable admission review when they present a minimum cumulative 2.50 grade point average on all college-level coursework, provided they have attempted at least 24 credits, or 36 quarter credits, at institutions accredited by one of the regional accrediting agencies. If a student has attempted less than 24 credits of college-level coursework, an official high school transcript and official test scores must also be submitted in order to be considered for admission.
Samford University strives to offer a distinctive curriculum that challenges students to their fullest potential and employs innovative teaching techniques. All students should complete their General Education Requirements, including the Core Curriculum, in residence whenever possible. Transfer students with 18 or more semester credits earned at another institution may be able to substitute coursework taken elsewhere for the interdisciplinary courses of the General Education Requirements, if those courses meet 75 percent of the required credits in each course. Only one Core Curriculum course (UCCA 101 ) may be applied as a core course for transfer students who have earned less than 18 transfer credits from accredited institutions and credit by examination. Students will only receive the credit they earned (not the credit of the course being replaced) and must meet the total number of credits required for their degree program (128 credits minimum). Natural and computational science courses must have a laboratory component.
Samford University accepts for transfer credits earned at institutions that have regional accreditation and in which the student has earned a grade of C- or higher.
Transfer students are required to earn at least 50 percent of the credit for a first undergraduate degree in each degree program from Samford. Also, a minimum of 15 credits in the major field (with nine at the 300-400 level) must be earned at Samford. For a minor, a minimum of nine credits in the minor field (with six at the 300-400 level) must be earned at Samford.
Students may transfer up to 64 semester credits or 96 quarter credits of work completed at two-year institutions, where such coursework is comparable to Samford courses offered at the 100 and 200 level.
Individual transfer courses may satisfy a major, minor, or concentration requirement if they meet 75 percent of the required credits for the course. Transfer courses that do not meet the 75 percent rule may still apply, but additional credits may be required to satisfy the requirement.
Samford University welcomes transfer students at the beginning of any term. Transfer students must present academic records that reflect serious academic aims and mature progress toward those aims. Transfer applications will be reviewed up to 10 days prior to the beginning of the academic term in which a student desires to attend.
Complete an application form at www.samford.edu/admission or submit a Common Application available at www.commonapp.org, and include a $40 nonrefundable application fee.
Have one official transcript from each college attended mailed directly from your former institution’s records office to the Office of Admission at Samford. Samford can also accept official transcripts online, but only through National student Clearinghouse, Docufide, E-Script, or Credentials. No other online service can be accepted. If you earned fewer than 24 semester credits or 36 quarter credits in total at other institutions, you must also meet the requirements of an entering freshman (providing an official high school transcript and official ACT or SAT score).
Write an essay of 250-500 words. In your own words, respond to the essay question in the admission application form online.
All transfer students under the age of 21 and/or under 80 completed hours/credits are required to attend new student orientation before registering for classes.
The transfer credit process for international students includes the above transfer process as well as the following:
As part of the admissions process, an international credential evaluation is required reporting prior university study, including translated course-by-course examinations. Samford accepts evaluations from World Education Services (WES), found at www.wes.org or Education Credential Evaluators (ECE) at www.ece.org.
An official international credential evaluation should come directly to Samford University electronically or through the mail in a sealed envelope. Transfer credit will be applied according to information reported on the official evaluation. Courses that are reported as comparable to courses from a U.S. regionally-accredited institution will be accepted according to Samford’s transfer credit policies.
Pass/fail courses graded as “P” or “S” will not be initially accepted unless written documentation is received from the awarding institution that the grade represents at least a “C-.”
Samford course equivalencies may be met with 75% of the required credits; however, they will only receive the actual credits earned toward the degree.
To earn a first undergraduate degree at Samford University, at least 50 percent of the credits for that degree must be earned from Samford. Additionally, a minimum of 15 credits in the major field (9 at the 300-400 level) and 9 in any declared minor field (6 at the 300-400 level) must be earned from Samford. (See the Transfer Student Applicant section for more details.)
Initially, elective credit will be awarded until such time that verifiable course descriptions or syllabi with English translation are provided to the Transfer Credit Analyst in the Office of the Registrar for evaluation. If it is determined by the academic department that a transfer course is comparable to a Samford course, equivalent credit will be applied. Providing course information is not a guarantee that equivalent credit will be awarded. Course information only provides the information needed to make a determination for credit.
Course descriptions or syllabi should come from the transfer institution on the institution’s official letterhead and include contact information. To receive the most accurate evaluation of international credit, course information should include: title of course, course level (1st year, 2nd year, 3rd year, etc.), course objectives, outline of course content, type of course (i.e. independent study, lecture, seminar, laboratory), description of how student is evaluated for the course, and reading references.
If English is not the native or official language of the student’s home country, all course information must be officially translated into English and accompany the original course documents. The name and contact information of the translator is to be included.
Full-time Samford students (registered for 12 or more credits in a given term) are required to satisfy a convocation requirement. For transfer students, the number of convocation credits required is prorated based on the number of transfer hours accepted. Failure to satisfy the convocation requirement will prevent graduation.
Undergraduate students who have withdrawn or have been suspended because of academic deficiencies at Samford may request to be considered for academic renewal after re-acceptance.
Academic renewal may be used by a student who has sat out two contiguous semesters, not including Jan Term or summer terms, and whose cumulative Samford GPA is less than 2.00.
Any grade of D+ or less will have its GPA hours set to 0, up to a maximum of 32 credits. The grades remain on the academic transcript; however, they no longer count towards the cumulative Samford GPA. The GPA hours erased are separate from the University’s repeat procedure and are not counted against a student’s repeats.
Students who wish to take advantage of academic renewal must inform Admissions upon re-acceptance to Samford.
Students who accept academic renewal will have a transcript notation indicating their readmission under this policy.
Upon notifying Admissions of their desire to be considered for Academic Renewal, a committee composed of the university registrar and academic advising staff will review the application.
Students should be aware that academic renewal does not pertain to accumulated financial aid history. Accumulated semester and award limits include all semesters of enrollment. Students are strongly encouraged to meet with the Office of Financial Aid to determine their eligibility for financial assistance.
Students are cautioned that many undergraduate professional curricula, graduate, and professional schools compute the undergraduate GPA over all credits attempted when considering applications for admission.
As an alternative to full participation in a credit course, students may audit the course. Audit students do not receive grades and do not usually participate in examinations; however, instructors have the option of establishing requirements for a satisfactory audit. Students are not permitted to audit courses numbered above 400.
Audit as Credit Student-Students choosing this option must be admitted to Samford either as a Regular or Special Status Student. Students should enroll in the course to be audited using registration procedures and paying the same tuition as regular enrollees. Provided the instructor’s requirements are met, the course will appear on the credit transcript with the notation AU and zero credits. If these requirements are not met, a W will be entered on the transcript.
From a Grading/Credit Basis to an Audit Basis-A student can change from a grading basis to an audit basis any time prior to the deadline for withdrawing from a class without academic penalty. There will be no financial refunds made as a result of change in grading basis.
From an Audit Basis to a Grading/Credit Basis-An audit student may not receive regular credit for a course begun as an audit, unless the change is made by the last day to add a course for the semester or term.
Former students desiring to return to Samford University after attending another college must file a readmission transfer application. The $40 application fee is not required.
a. Student’s evaluation of previous academic performance, including an analysis of what factors led to his/her dismissal/withdrawal.
d. Description of activities during absence from Samford, such as work, marriage, military service, etc.
Former students on academic dismissal may be considered for readmission after an absence of at least one semester. If a student attends another institution during that absence, Samford will not accept transfer credits for the semester the student was required to take off. An application for readmission is available through the Office of Admission and the $40 application fee is waived. Readmit applications should be completed six weeks prior to the beginning of the semester/term the student would like to return.
Former students on indefinite academic dismissal may appeal for readmission consideration after an absence of one year. The process is the same as for the first academic dismissal mentioned above.
Special status is a classification for students that are non-degree seeking, although credit is given for completed courses. Special status applications are available from the Office of Admission. No transcripts or recommendations are required.
If you are currently under suspension from another institution you may not attend Samford University until the suspension period imposed by the previous institution has expired.
You are ineligible to receive federally funded financial aid until your admission status has been changed to a degree-seeking category.
A maximum of 18 credit hours earned as a special status student will count towards a Samford degree program. Each academic department reserves the right to determine the acceptability of credits earned under this classification.
Transient students are students who are regularly enrolled in other colleges and universities yet desire to take courses at Samford. A transient student must submit a transient application and have all coursework authorized by the student’s primary institution. The application form is available in the Office of Admission.
Currently enrolled Samford students who take one or more classes at another institution are considered transient students at that college/university. See the Transfer Policies section for more information.
Refer to the academic departments/schools sections of this catalog and/or publications from the individual departments or schools offering graduate degrees. More information may be found at Samford University’s website: www.samford.edu.

300,353,171 | I heard that Smoke Detectors are not allowed on these circuits. If this is true, what is the rationale behind it?
In the Canadian Electrical Code, Part I - 19th edition (2002 issue)the following will be added to Section 26.
(f) Branch circuits that supply receptacles installed in sleeping facilities of a dwelling unit shall be protected by an arc-fault circuit interrupter; and
(g) For the purpose of Paragraph (f), an arc-fault interrupter means a device intended to provide protection from the effects of arc-faults by recognizing characteristics unique to arcing and functioning to de-energize the circuit when an arc-fault is detected.
A smoke alarm shall be supplied from a lighting circuit, or from a circuit that supplies a mix of lighting and receptacles, and in any case shall not be installed where prohibited by Rule 26-704; or protected by a GFCI or AFCI.
The requirement for AFCI protection is for the circuit supplying receptacles in bedrooms – thus AFCI breakers will typically be installed in the panelboard. It is important to stress that smoke detectors may not be connected to a circuit fed from an AFCI breaker. Smoke detectors may be connected to a lighting circuit, or a combination lighting / receptacle as long as the receptacles are not in bedrooms requiring an AFCI (e.g. bathroom circuit ahead of the GFCI)
Thanks for your response. I am still trying to figure out how I personally feel about having the Smoke Detectors on a Bedroom AFCI circuit. I was just wondering if you had any compelling arguments either way.
I heard today that it will be up to the individual Electrician where I am. The local Inspection Agencies will not enforce the 2002 NEC requirement that smoke detectors in a bedroom must be on a AFCI protected circuit.
In Ontario, AFCI breakers will not be required retroactively, even if the service is upgraded. They would however be required for an addition containing a bedroom.
I am installing a set of 4 (phase A, B, C & Neutral) in a 4" PVC conduit, 6 times, for a 2000amp service.
How would you handle the length issue in this installation? Cut all the same length, based on the longest, and loop where needed?
What method is best to help train this wire? Has anyone used that new device that fits on a ratchet? I saw one at a trade show, looked like a good idea.
The shorter the length of wire and the higher the load, the more critical the length becomes. I normally lay the conductors out and cut them all the same length before installing them. Finding space for the excess wire is sometimes a problem.
If you look at your installation and assume 4 sets of 600 kcmil with a calculated load of 1680 amps and multiple service disconnects and cable lengths of 20', 21', 22' and 23', we will find that the two shortest cables will be carryign more than there rated 75 degree ampacity. The 21' would be at 452, the 21' at 428, the 22' at 409 and the 23' at 391 amps. The rated ampacity of 600 kcmil is 420 amps.
It is important to get them close, but reality says that there will be some difference because all of the conduits don't enter the service equipment in the same place. I can't speak for the ratchet device. I've always used a hydraulic wire bender.
I used to have a problem from a class that I took that showed in theory how important it is to have the conductors the same length.
I need to find out how inspectors are treating this rule that all conductors need to be the same length. Is there any standard percentage length difference that they allow?
I find that if there is a 10% difference in length between two conductors, there is approximately a 10% difference in the current through each conductor, with the shorter conductor carrying the larger portion of the current.
Also, do inspectors look at the whole installation as to how important it is for conductor length to be exactly the same.
For example, if you have 2 parallel - 1/0 conductors, 75C rated 150A feeding a 300A load. If there is any difference in length between the conductors, the shorter conductor would exceed it's ampacity rating.
But, if those same two conductors are feeding a 250A load, the ampacity of the shorter conductor is not exceed until it there is over a 30% difference in wire length.

299,776,562 | GUP Magazine, december 2011. “Going through the booklets you get the feeling the artists were as close to the subjects as family would only be. Surely the fact that van der Weert and Lamers spent one and a half years around the fighters has something to do with that. It’s not merely about creating beautiful
In this memoir of a first season spent living in Alaska, Miranda Weiss takes her readers through both the harshness and the beauty of one of the most beautiful places in America. When Miranda decides to leave Oregon and relocate to Alaska, she is unsure of many aspects of her future. Though she quickly becomes enamored of both the people and the land, she finds herself struggling in her personal relationship with John, the man she has traveled to Alaska with. Miranda is constantly and studiously trying to learn about herself and her surroundings in order to be prepared for every eventuality and to really know herself and this land she now calls home. As Miranda relates her stories of struggle and joy, she intersperses a wealth of little known information about Alaska, from its land to its people to the creatures that inhabit it. From the brazen and discordant sea that surrounds her, to the unspoiled yet littered lands that she lives on, Miranda shares her reflections on the many subjects that make Alaska simultaneously foreign and familiar. Though she is no doubt freer here in this wild place, Miranda is also beset by shifts both in her emotions and in her thoughts about the way of life she now leads. She speaks of the amazing and the everyday with equal respect and awe, and relates how this underdeveloped and under-examined piece of land can be both startling in its raw beauty and brutally dangerous in its complications. In this unflinching look at a life lived in Alaska, Miranda Weiss shares her unique perspective as both a resident and an outsider in a world that has not been completely tamed.
I am very much an armchair traveler, and when I get the chance to read a book about a place that I have never visited, I find that my interest in that place is heightened to the point of considering travel plans. The best memoirs of places unknown always inspire such a wanderlust in me and this book was certainly no exception. While reading this story, a little piece of my mind was trying to figure out a way to leave all my possessions behind and move out to what can only be described as a hauntingly beautiful landscape complete with local flavor, scenic views and a wonderful array of flora and fauna.
Despite the fact that I have a relative living in Alaska, I know very little about the area. I was pleasantly surprised to find that Weiss' solid and no-nonsense memoir was densely packed with information, relating both to her stay and to the land. Some of the facts revealed here laid out a very different picture than the one I had been expecting. For example, did you know that the Alaskan government actually pays its residents oil dividends each year? In essence, each resident gets a check every year, just for being part of the community. Also, in Alaska, there is a certain period when residents are allowed to wade into the bay during salmon spawning season and catch as many fish as they can entice into their nets. As Weiss explains, this is a very easy way for the inhabitants to catch enough fish to put away for the long cold winter. Such things seemed like novelties to me, but for Weiss and her fellow Alaskans, it was all a part of the way of life. Much mention was made about conservation of natural resources and it was interesting to me to find out that the parts of Alaska that were not being exploited for oil and other resources were primarily wild and uninhabited spaces. Weiss also speaks of the changes that have occurred in the recent years to fishing in Alaska. It seems that when one resource is exhausted, like shrimp and crab for example, another resource is tapped for the benefit of fisheries that ship all over the world.
One of the things I liked about this book was the way Weiss describes her life and stay in Alaska. I found her personal dramas to be some of the most compelling sections of the book, but I often felt that these were not explored in enough depth. It was curious that just when she would start to open up about her concerns over her relationship and way of life, she would quickly return to factual information about the land she has made her home. I came to feel that she was hiding within her narrative and I would have liked to see more of her heart and read more about her thought processes. Over all the layers of hurt and confusion, there seemed to be a patina of facts that, while they enabled me to get to know more about the land, kept me further and further away from the feelings of the actual woman who was penning this story.
Part of Weiss' conundrums over living in Alaska had to do with the qualities of the land itself. She explains that while it's a beautiful place, much of it has been spoiled by the constant pollution of its people. She relates how some stretches of land are littered with broken down and rusted vehicles, crab pots and other refuse. She comes to conclude that parts of the land are literally overrun by litter, which causes the landscape to look more dilapidated than it should. She also speaks about the environmental damage caused by fisheries and oil drilling. I was shocked to find out that oil was allowed to be drilled from private property over the objections of the owners. I think this has to do with unfettered access to the land that was sold to other countries. In all, Weiss paints a picture of a society and way of life that seems in danger of collapsing, which is really sad when you stop to think about it.
Not surprisingly, the relationships that Weiss forms with her neighbors and with others in her community seem to be a large part of survival in this hostile place. Time and time again, Weiss relates the ways in which one neighbor or friend helps another and the ways that these strings of acquaintances shape and affect the way that one can live successfully on the land. I find this to be really fascinating, for in most parts of this country, people have very little to do with their neighbors and community and it seems this is another foreign aspect to living in such a place. Alaskans, as Weiss notes, don't make judgments about the way that other people live, and whether it's in a trailer, tent or yurt, people seem to accept all ways and permutations of living their lives.
I really enjoyed the time I spent reading this book, and although I wish it there had been a little more of a personal bent to this story, I was excited to get the chance to learn so much about a place that was unknown to me. I think those readers who enjoy a comprehensive study of areas that might be unfamiliar to them would probably enjoy this book, but if you are looking for a memoir that deals with the more personal subjects of a life lived in Alaska, you might not find it here. Overall, this was a book that inspired me to want to travel, if not permanently, than at least for the short term!
I have the same problem with reading about interesting geographical locations; suddenly I want to travel there. It's unfortunate I'm not rich, so I can't actually go to all the places I'd like. :)
I also really love armchair traveling to places I've never been. I've picked up a bunch on non-fic travel books, but generally I am just as happy to travel via fiction. Parts of this sound fascinating to me, but I wonder if like you I wouldn't wind up craving a slightly more personal story... Still, it sounds like a great way to introduce oneself to Alaska (certainly better than via Sarah Palin!).
Wonderful review, as always! I am a big armchair traveler too, but I would say more frequently than otherwise reading travel books makes me want to stay in my comfy armchair with my clean water and central air and heat. :p
Lovely, thoughtful review, Zibilee. I am the same way, ready to pack my bags and travel to many of the destinations I read about, Alaska among them. It was interesting to learn that the residents get dividend checks from Alaskan oil, and that they are allowed to wade in the bay to catch salmon at certain times of the year! Of course, Alaska has it's problems, too, as you mention, but it does sound very enticing (although not as much so in the winter). But it sounds as if you wanted a more personal account from this author.
I've been to Alaska, but still don't know much about it, except it is simply beautiful and saw very little of the pollution (not that I am doubting her, but they keep it well-hidden from the tourists). Those facts that you shared with us are fascinating. It sounds like a totally different country, not one of our 50 states. I also think your observation of the author hiding behind her prose is very insightful. I'm not sure I would have picked up on that.
I have been to Alaska a couple times (relatives) but when I was much younger. The book looks so interesting!
You have such a fabulous review technique. Most every book you review, I find myself wanting to buy it on line ASAP! You are bad for my pocketbook, but thanks again gore a terrific review!!!!
This sounds great - and I have to say the facts sound more interesting than the personal drama :) heh
Sounds like it's fun and chock-full of information. I like books like that as well as personal stories- just depends I guess! But yeah, I always want to go when I'm done with the book. It's a great book that fills you with even more curiosity!
This sounds really interesting. I love armchair travelling, too, and Alaska has always fascinated me...it also scares the bejeebers out of me.
My parents are taking a cruise to Alaska this next month and can't stop talking about everything they are going to do there.
It sounds like such a beautiful place, even if harsh. For now, I'll have to content myself to just reading about it.
I've been to Alaska twice and it is absolutely awe-inspiring. Beautiful, beautiful scenery, down-to-earth people who are incredibly open and friendly, tons of photo-ops. :) I did know about the annual checks Alaskans receive, thanks to a fellow from Alaska who lived in my husband's dorm at Oklahoma State and married a friend of mine. I guess that's not common knowledge, then, eh? LOL Great review!
Here are some pictures from our dress rehearsal. We really enjoyed performing it for the school community.
We had so much fun researching our Family Tree with the help of our parents. We really enjoyed presenting our findings to the class.
In class we learned a lot about electricity and circuits. Electricity is used to make many devices work. Electricity flows in a pathway called a circuit. A complete circuit is needed to make electrical devices work. A battery is needed in a circuit. It provides the energy that pushes the electricity around the circuit. Electricity does not flow if there is a broken circuit. We made our own circuits during our Science lessons.
We constructed our own boats and put them to the test to see if they would float or sink! We really enjoyed this experiment and loved getting our hands wet!
Just up from the basement and putting a chunk of wood in the furnace—time for a cup of tea before I go to the barn to feed the animals. Then I’ll go for a nice walk with my dogs and see how many birds I can see. Thanks for this lovely picture—it makes me think to be aware of the beauty of nature around us every day.
UK-based contemporary artist Katrina Palmer builds sculptures using words. In 2013, she won a competition for “groundbreaking site-specific proposals that transform the cultural landscape” run by BBC Radio 4 and Artangel. Palmer worked with a piece of land that had been hollowed out by quarrying—the Isle of Portland, Dorset—to produce a haunting narrative and site-specific walk. The artist book book End Matter forms one part of Palmer’s story-sculpture. Comprised of the sitework’s documentary vestiges—appendices, acknowledg- ments, an epilogue, an index, a map, photographs and postscripts, and audio sections from her broadcast (which one can listen to online or while walking around Portland)—the book tells the story of the loss of Portland’s stone through the mysterious work of The Loss Adjusters, who are responsible for balancing the material and historical shifts of the island’s being. A compelling blend of imagina- tion and reality from this young and adventurous artist. |
304,108,379 | Thought a sister thread to the Oatmeal thread could be fun. I eat oatmeal every morning about 9 months out of the year and in late spring to mid fall I make a fruit smoothie almost every day after work for my afternoon snack. They're delicious, but the ones I make are pretty standard. Some new ideas and variety is always welcome.
about 3/4 cup plain yogurt (from a giant tub, I just eyeball my scoops anymore, but it's around a 3/4 cup)
choice of fruit - if fresh I add three ice cubes, if frozen I do not. Favorites choices are mango and strawberry and I put in slightly more than would be equal to the banana
splash of liquid - I always start conservative and if it's too thick I add more. Juice sometimes, but I don't buy juices often. I like milk in a banana/strawberry smoothie and lightly sugared sun tea in a banana/mango smoothie.
Frozen bananas, mangos and blueberries, ground flax seed, spirulina, whole milk, splash of juice and water. If we have a lot of avocados I’ll throw one in too. All organic except for the bananas, avocados and spirulina (make sure it’s US produced.) This is for 4 of us. Flax is great in smoothies as you won’t notice it and it’s loaded with fiber and great fat.
Blend until it's smooth so you've got a tasty green/healthy base to work with. Then add extra stuff depending on what's in the fridge until your blender is full:
I like it because it's pretty hard to fuck this one up. It always tastes good, despite choking down a good bunch of Kale.
Hahaha, what's controversial about vitamixes? Not that I wanna start somethin', but my interest is piqued. I have a Ninja I got open box at Fred Meyer for 60% off! That was several years ago. The thing is great.
There's some good threads out there in the past. Funny reads on all sides. But vitamix $600,000 blender is a proxy for consumer facepunches. Not everyone agrees.
Also aren't these smoothies a little over the top? Why do you need bananas and oats and strawberries and yogurt and peanut butter, etc. etc. Can't you just pick 2-3 ingredients and be done with it?
Bought my $800 Vitamix at Costco and used my SUV to haul it home to my McMansion where I blend baby seals into smoothies.
Seriously though, a refurbished Vitamix (less than $300 on Amazon) isn't anywhere near the most face punchworthy of sins. The fact that a small appliance can even be refurbished these days, and that there's a market for them, is something I'd actually like to see more of.
Is it better than a $40 blender? Yep. Basically paying for a much more powerful motor and heftier components. Is it "worth" the approximate additional $250? Depends what you use it for and how often. Would I recommend it to someone with hair-on-fire debt or still in the accumulation phase? Nope.
The cheap Hamilton Beach we got as a wedding gift lasted almost 17 years before finally dying. The smoothies weren't as smooth, with chunks of fruit and bits of ice, but somehow we survived. But DW wanted a Vitamix for a long time and refurbished price wasn't a problem for the budget. She loves it and uses it almost every day.
I posted this on the oatmeal thread too... I like these smoothies because they stay thick and I can make them days in advance (I work a rotating shift, and my day shifts are just too early for me to be able to stomach anything first thing in the morning, so the "stays thick" part is key). The texture is a little different, but I like them, and I'm one of those people with texture issues with food.
I keep a bunch of frozen fruits in my freezer. One year my parents had hundreds of small cantaloupe that ripened all at once (they tried to time it for my sister's wedding, but when it's ripe, it's ripe). So, we cubed it all up and put it in the freezer. I'm not normally a fan, but it was really good when added to the smoothies.
I started this thread a long time ago but have since neglected it: https://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/throw-down-the-gauntlet/a-healthy-smoothie-everyday!/
My recipes vary but I usually add herbs and/or veggies to my smoothies because it's an easy way to get my daily greens in.
Oh and I use a Vitamix. Awesome blender, joy to use. Way better than my cheapie I had before. But not needed. Who cares.
1. Pre-freeze pumpkin puree by dividing 1 (15 oz.) can into an ice cube tray and freezing. (You will have enough to fill more than one tray.)
I forget what was on, but the guy said he doesn't eat chia seeds because he doesn't put anything in his body that does that:
A favorite is frozen strawberries, about 1/3 as much frozen pineapple, and apple or orange juice to cover. I thin it out a bit for the kids but I prefer it to be thicker. We use the frozen fruit in place of ice and no need to prep! :) We also have frozen blueberries, peaches, and raspberries on hand most of the time in case the kids are feeling adventurous. Sometimes we add a little honey if the berries are a little tart.
I'd like to incorporate some steamed carrots in sometime to add a little more variety into the diet of our youngest.
The frozen fruit gives a nice texture, almost like a milk shake, and the yogurt keeps it from being too sweet.
If I remember to make a pot on Sunday nights, I will also add 2-3 table spoons of pre-cooked steel cut oats. The oatmeal adds a tapioca-like texture to smoothies.
I want to follow this for ideas. We have a stick blender currently and start with a kefir base then whatever fruit we have, mostly berries fresh or that we froze. Current favorite is strawberry and currants with some flax seeds and poppy seeds and a little honey. Maybe we’re making more of a drinkable fruit kefir than an actual smoothie but we sure are enjoying them and they have satiated my partner’s ice cream cravings.
Mine are pretty standard: banana, yogurt, one or two types of fruit and bit of milk or juice. Something needs to be frozen (chunks of banana or one of the other fruits)
A different variation is to freeze chunks of zucchini and use that as your frozen "fruit". Great combo with pineapple chunks, banana, yogurt and OJ.
I have a Ninja and my bro has a Vitamix. He can make almond milk with his Vitamix for 1/10th the cost of buying almond milk by the half gallon. I can't make almond milk with my Ninja.
The real face punch should be the folks buying half gallons of almond, coconut, cashew "milk" where 90% is water.
I'm not a salad fan, so I use smoothies to up my veggie/fruit intake. Since I'm too lazy for complicated recipes, it's basically this:
Blended in my Vitamix, which is indeed a vast improvement over my previous $40 blender, which left chunks of things in smoothies. Maybe I'm overpaying for smooth smoothies, but I got it four years ago and never regretted the purchase!
I've also been trying to get more carrots in my diet, but hate eating them even with dip, so recently I've just been throwing two servings raw carrots and a cored apple into my vitamix with some water. It's not really a proper smoothie, but it's tasty and easy!
I always start with a cup of Greek yogurt and a splash of whole milk. Then I add, depending on taste:
I've also experimented with a splash of orange juice and/or a teaspoon of orange extract (either with other fruit or cocoa). This summer, I'd like to try peaches, kiwis, and maybe pineapple chunks with coconut milk to make a "pina colada" smoothie.
Step 1, go to Costco for bananas, big bags of fresh spinach, and several bags of various frozen fruit.
In ziplock Perfect Portion bags grab a handful of spinach, half a banana and a handful of mixed frozen fruit. Pack them all in a large ziplock and toss into the freezer until needed.
I make them without dairy, I toss one in the mixer which shall not be named, add some cold water, a scoop of vegan protein powder and sometimes if I am feeling fancy, a spoonful of frozen OJ concentrate.
FYI - this is more of a meal than a snack. This was my daily breakfast for years when I was a 220 lb single digit body fat beast. These days I eat far less and more solid food. Solid food fills me up a lot more and I’m not constantly forcefeeding calories like I used to.
Almond milk or Pineapple Juice (depending on preference): just enough for ingredients to blend but stay thick
Tip: Costco sells frozen avocado chunks and single-serve-size acai packets at very reasonable prices!
I've been making my daughter a smoothie every morning for breakfast, and because she is working outside for seven hours a day in the heat, I try to pack as much protein and healthy fat in as I can, and don't worry about the calories.
Also, apparently I should clarify that I make this with a fucking $20 immersion blender and no other wizardry.
I like my 1970's Osterizer for blending purposes. Any product with faux wood paneling is indicative of high quality. :P
Any fresh greens get added first, followed by any fresh fruit. Water is added before any frozen ingredients, followed by frozen greens, then frozen fruit. I like to have at least enough fresh greens to hold the frozen ingredients out of the water until blending preventing the frozen ingredients from clumping together and eliminating the need to tamp the clumps down with the tamper. Slowly increase blender speed until all ingredients are incorporated, then run on high for a few minutes to get completely smooth.
My first TV (70s CRT double-hand-me-down from grandparents to parents to me) and old car (1992 Buick Roadmaster wagon) agreed with you 100%. TV lasted around 35 years before crapping out and the Buick lasted around 25 years.
They enable a couple cheap party tricks like being able to make nut butters, but inexpensive nut butters are already available everywhere because the large scale grinding of the nuts is cheap.
Sure, you can make your own nut milks, but dear god what a waste of time. For $2 i can get half a gallon of almond milk. Factor in the energy use, the time cost, and the lifetime cost of the vitamix, and see who comes out ahead.
Ive even see people in this forum complain about how there are too many ice crystals left in their smoothies with a regular blender, while the vitamix makes them totally smooth. FOR FUCKs SAKE. Is this the MMM forum or the yuppies of the world rich person problems forum?
The vitamix hands down is non frugal. Buy it as a treat if you like, but no arguments on its frugality are tenable.
1/4 cup frozen misc other fruit (when fruit starts to go bad, I cut of the bad part and the rest goes in the freezer)
We bought our Vitamix after destroying the blade assembly of a cheap (~$20) blender in a handful of weeks making daily smoothies. Marginal utility over a decent quality blender is probably not really worth the price.
Most difficult to accomplish with lesser blenders but easy to do with a Vitamix: turn frozen food into a thick, smooth frozen treat with a constancy similar to soft serve ice cream. (I'll admit that this is what I've always wanted a Vitamix for, but couldn't justify the purchase based on this alone - green smoothie habit requiring better than a cheap $20 blender was enough to push Vitamix into the "worth it" column for me)
Trick that works but would be easier with other tools: Blended soups (immersion blender in a pot is probably at least as easy and effective).
We have the dry grinding canister and use it to make flour. A dedicated mill would be easier provide better quality, but the quality of the flour from the Vitamix is acceptable as long as you don't try to do too much at once. The dry grinding canister is also supposed to be able to make bread dough - this gimmick is not worth trying. I tried it once and it works but I decided it was easier to make the dough by hand than to clean the canister after making dough in it. |

229,381,955 | My first daughter was born at 7am on a Sunday morning. I was a manic night, from Match of the Day (10pm Sat) right through to the birth. I would like to romanticise about it but can't. It was a shocking and brutal physical experience ... the pushing and shoving, coping with the waves of pain and for me standing most of the night and having my hand clamped. As the birth got closer I literally had to ignore what was going on in favour of giving my wife direct face to face, almost cheek to cheek support. A brand new baby is not really a pretty site - the euphoria was not really experienced until I came back to the hospital after a couple of hours sleep when all the blood and guts had been removed in favour of simple and soft body suits.
My second daughter was born at home and 2 weeks late. We went from 1st pang of labour pains at 8pm to birth at 10pm. It was a completely different experience with 2x midwives jumping into efficient action having walked through the door around 8.45pm. Given it was a night birth the whole process was much more taken into our stride and made the first few hours, and next morning a much more joyful experience as we were in a fit state to focus on our new bundle of joy. She had such a strong covering of jet black hair which looked/felt conditioned as soon as she was cleaned up.
There was never any doubt I would not attend the births - though I am sure I provided some support and comfort for my wife I am not sure she will remember my involvement in any detail.
If I was summarising my role … supporter, rationaliser & punchbag [one led to the other!] and partaker of the shared experience that we can talk about and share for the rest of our lives.
Today on Fox News, right-wing blogger Michelle Malkin discussed the incident and argued that the real story is not about the hate crime, but rather, the progressive blogosphere. “Something really ugly happened,” she said. “Time and again, when something like this happens — any random incident of violence — there are people on the left with a knee-jerk impulse to indict the right.” As evidence, Malkin pointed to comments left on ThinkProgress.
Note, Malkin wasn’t offended by what ThinkProgress wrote; she was offended when she dug through the comments section and found reactions she found distasteful.
Ben Armbruster highlights the fact that Malkin insists she bears no responsibility for what people say in her own comments section, making her entire line of argument rather odd.
But when I say we should be past this by now, I mean this is an old trick for right-wing bloggers that ceased to be interesting years ago.
For a long while, it was a standard strategy — trawl through liberal comments sections in the hopes of finding provocative remarks. The right then would then take those comments to “prove” that the left is made up of intemperate meanies.
The practice has always been rather self-defeating. In fact, four years ago this month, on this very blog, Kevin Drum came up with a sensible maxim: “If you’re forced to rely on random blog commenters to make a point about the prevalence of some form or another of disagreeable behavior, you’ve pretty much made exactly the opposite point.” Eventually, the practice was even given a name: “Nutpicking.”

Here I would like to stop and to put my two cents into this fascinating theme. First of all, you have probably heard the Hebrew expression: “Tikkun Olam”, “repair of the world”. Documented use of this term dates back to the Mishnaic period (approximately 10-220 CE). This means that the term and the concept may well have existed at the time of Jesus, and that for the New Testament writers, the idea of reversing the evil of the Watchers could have been part of this Tikkun Olam theology.
Secondly, an essential part of a later Jewish tradition is the belief that when the Messiah comes, all things will be repaired. Some Jewish texts even say that the pig will become kosher at the time of the redemption: (Probably, you remember the footnote “Why is the pig called [in Hebrew] chazir? Because in the future, God will return [le-hfrom the last post: achazir] it to Israel”. (חזיר-להחזיר)). However, only one person could repair the world in such a profound way—only one person could reverse the evil and restore the divine order of heaven and earth: the Messiah.
Thus, if we keep in mind all these elements of Jewish theology – the Watchers being responsible for the spread of the evil on the earth; the concept of Tikkun Olam, repairing the world; the belief that when the Messiah comes, all things will be repaired – then we are able to see that the New Testament is built around this belief in the Messianic Tikkun Olam—Messianic reversal of evil. And here is another striking example:
In all three Synoptic Gospels we read the story of the transfiguration; it’s important to note that in all three Gospels, this dramatic event happens just a few days after Peter’s confession:
1Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; 2 and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and His clothes became as white as the light. 3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him[3]
Where was the transfiguration? What was this “high mountain”? Starting from the early church fathers, it has been widely believed that the location of the Mount of Transfiguration was Mount Tabor located in the Lower Galilee, west of the Sea of Galilee. However, the Gospels themselves give no name to this “high mountain”. So, along with the “Mount Tabor tradition” (and many scholars still hold to this view), another tradition has been developing, claiming Mount Hermon as the site of the transfiguration.
Mount Hermon is the highest mountain in Israel, located at the very north of the country, not far from the city that was called Caesarea Philippi. In Matthew 16, where Peter confesses Jesus as Messiah, we read: “When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, “Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?”[4] As I mentioned previously, in all three Synoptic Gospels, the transfiguration happens after Peter’s confession, so it would certainly make sense for this dramatic event to take place in the same region where Peter’s confession happened. So, even regardless of the Watchers’ story, just based on this proximity to Caesarea Philippi and on the height of the mountain, some scholars identify the Mount of Transfiguration as Mount Hermon.
This identification becomes even more significant, however, if we see it against the backdrop of the Watchers’ story. Let us remember that, according to 1 Enoch, Mount Hermon was the place at which the Watchers descended. There they bound themselves with an oath to corrupt humanity:
“Then they all swore together and bound one another with a curse. And they were, all of them, two hundred, who descended in the days of Jared onto the peak of Mount Hermon.”[5]
If we keep this in mind, we would agree with Dr. Heiser, that “for Jews of Jesus’ day (and the era of the early church), Mount Hermon became emblematic of the transgression of the Watchers and the awful deleterious effect that had on humankind.”[6] In this context, the whole transfiguration event becomes even more dramatic! Think of it: Jesus picks Mount Hermon precisely because of his mission – to reverse the evil spread from Mount Hermon! The transfiguration marks a turning point in the Synoptic Gospels, especially in Matthew: after that, we see Jesus turning more to Jerusalem and to the suffering and death that awaits him there. Before that, however, this dramatic event happens: Jesus is transfigured and revealed in his heavenly glory upon mountain Hermon. The meaning of this statement is clear: ‘The spread of the evil started from here, and I came to reverse this evil and to repair the world!’ “When Jesus chose to go to Mount Hermon to be transfigured, He was claiming it for the Kingdom of God.”[7]
This is my last post reviewing the wonderful book of Dr. Heiser. Next time, we will continue to discuss 1 Enoch, but will be focusing on other topics and features that make this book so significant for students of the New Testament.

Thanks for this very interesting perspective Julia. The juxtaposition of the Transfiguration with reversal of the sin of the Watcher’s on Mt Hermon makes perfectly good sense.
Thank you Dot, for being open to the new ideas and new perspectives! The fact that these ideas may sound strange and foreign to a modern reader, doesn’t mean anything at all: it’s not about what is familiar to us, it’s about what was familiar to them – to the Jewish people of Jesus time. Thank you for your open mind!
I have understood only fragments of Enoch were found in the dead sea scrools ? If that is the case , how can a book be written of Enoch ? I am a believer in allowing sctipture to verify scripture when exegesis is involved in understanding we move away from the eisegesis on content . I look foward to all your post , as your views are on spot ! this dissagreement with ( Book of Enoch ) is ongoing for me
First of all, thank you for your kind words, Rick! i am glad to hear that you look forward to my posts. As I explained several times, these last articles were reviewing the fascinating book of Dr. Heiser. I may or may not agree with him, but he is a very serious scholar and a brilliant writer, I loved the book and I wanted to share it with my readers. As for the book of Enoch – of course, it was not written by Enoch, that’s why it is part of a group of texts named by scholars “Pseudepigrapha”. However, this term does not refer to the content of these books; rather, it means that the authorship of the text was assigned to someone other than the actual writer. we have books like this in the Bible, for instance Job, 1 and 2 Samuel, and Joshua. “Lack of evidence for a namesake’s authorship of a book bearing his name is no measurable invalidation of a work’s worth or value. During the Second Temple Period, pseudepigraphical literature was quite common”. (Heiser, Michael S.. Reversing Hermon: Enoch, the Watchers, and the Forgotten Mission of Jesus Christ).
Perhaps, that’s how the holy spirit worked in Mary’s conception of Yahshua, supernaturally impregnating her.
This connection is indeed very interesting, Daniel, Dr. Heiser writes a lot about the fact that the birth of Jesus is linked to Genesis 6: 1– 4 and the sin of the Watchers: “The birth of Jesus would have alerted literate first-century Jews that the Messiah’s arrival would reverse the sin of the Watchers”.
These ” watchers” must have had free will to decide among themselves to swear to an oath. And to have sexual desires meaning they had male body parts?
Yes, Valerie, the name of Jared in Hebrew is Yared (יָרֶד), and one of the explanations of this name we find in the book of Jubilees: this book derives the name from the root Yarad, “descend” – precisely because in his days “the angels of the Lord descended to earth”. He was the sixth generation in the ten generations between Adam and Noah and lived 962 years ( Gen. 5:18).
These watchers must have been some sort of a biological beings and not angelic order since Yeshua said that there were no marriage among angles. Or they could have been ordinary human beings but somehow influenced/possessed by supernatural beings to be able to have sexual relations with women. It’s hard to think of angelic beings capable of sexual relations based on what Yeshua said to the Sadducees.
Hi Peter, you have probably missed my answer to your previous comment : the text of Matthew does not say angels cannot have sexual relations; it says they don’t have them in the spiritual world, in the realm of divine beings, that Jesus is talking about. However, Genesis 6 speaks of “the angels who did not keep their proper domain, but left their own abode” (as we read in Jude 1:6), – and in this physical world, they are perfectly able to marry human women. Moreover, the book of Enoch makes it absolutely clear that this is the reason (one of the main reasons, at least) that God was angry with them: “And therefore I have not appointed wives for you; for as for the spiritual ones of the heaven, in heaven is their dwelling” ( 1 Enoch 15:7).

They mowed, painted the circle marker, the windsock posts, and stacked firewood that volunteers had cut from the fire-killed trees around the campground area.
Saturday morning, August 18, volunteer pilots Jeremy Goulet from MT Aeronautics, Scott and Mike Lindemer were joined by RAF members Dallas Deardorff and Carmine Mowbray at Meadow Creek to pick up the fellows and return them to Seeley Lake.
“This would have been a helluva hike getting in and out for a ‘blind’ guy like me,” one of the veterans said. In spite of his visual impairment, he had a great time.

He’d carted a suitcase full of spicy pepperoni across Canada as a gift for friends only to discover his hotel, the Fairmont Empress in Victoria, British Columbia, had no in-room refrigerators. So he did the only reasonable thing he could think of: he opened a window, laid out the meat and then decided to go for a five-hour walk. When he returned he found “an explosion;” 40 sea gulls had invaded his room and saliva, feces, feather and pepperoni was everywhere, according to the New York Times.
“The shocking thing for me was the saliva,” Burchill wrote later in a letter to the hotel. “I didn’t know that sea gulls drooled. The slime was covering everything. They were whipping it up into the air. It was like a tornado.”
But the ordeal didn’t end there. Burchill tried to handle the situation himself, chasing out the gulls by throwing a shoe and wrapping one bird in a towel and then throwing the bundled-up bird out the window. Both the shoe and the gull landed on a line-up of tourists waiting for high tea outside the hotel. Then, somehow, Burchill knocked out the power in his room when his hairdryer fell into water.
Finally, he called a professional. When housekeeping arrived Burchill was at a loss how to explain the state of his room: “I can still remember the look on the lady’s face when she opened the door. I had absolutely no idea what to tell her, so I just said, ‘I’m sorry,’ and I went to dinner.” Fairmont banned him for life.
But, proving true the old adage that time heals all wounds, Burchill decided to request forgiveness nearly 20 years later and, miraculously, Fairmont accepted the apology and lifted the ban.
The hotel’s general manager Indu Brar phoned Burchill to deliver the news laughing. “I have to say, it absolutely made our week,” she told the Times. [NYT] — Erin Hudson

What a great game to play, after more than one failed recording (all of my own fault) I almost gave up playing, but I am so glad I didn’t as this was so much fun when I really got into it. Playing as Alexis in a robot filled world you decide to go on a search for the mystical human, switching a story up from perhaps playing as a human searching for some other mythical creature.

72,038,414 | Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney continued to rack up Congressional support this week with an endorsement from Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.).
Romney will announce the House Veterans’ Affairs chairman’s backing today, according to a campaign source.
Almost three dozen Republican Members have announced their support for Romney, the highest tally in the GOP presidential field.
“I am proud to support Mitt, and look forward to working with him to help create jobs in Florida and provide the care that our servicemen and veterans deserve,” Miller said in a statement.
Twenty-one Republican senators up for re-election in 2016 filed into the National Republican Senatorial Committee on the morning of Nov. 19 to meet with party strategists about campaign preparations.
Leading the confab with the incumbents and their chiefs of staff were incoming NRSC Chairman Roger Wicker, the Mississippi senator elected to the position a week earlier, and Ward Baker, the 2014 political director who was promoted to executive director for the new cycle. Unlike the past four NRSC administrations, this one is charged with defending a Senate majority.
Later that day, in his first newspaper interview since being elected chairman, Wicker spoke candidly about the challenges ahead. He declined to detail the meeting but said, “I guarantee you the issue of fundraising arose.” While Republicans are primed to net nine seats in 2014 with a win next month in Louisiana, the party faced two noteworthy hurdles in the midterms: a late organizational start and being significantly outraised by Democrats.
With Baker in place — about two months earlier than when Rob Collins took the helm of the committee in 2013 — Wicker already has avoided the first issue. Now, his goal is to overcome the financial disparity.
“It’s all about putting together a good staff and fundraising,” Wicker told CQ Roll Call. “And getting the right message, and more fundraising. And it all comes back, every other day, to fundraising — then spending it smart.” Wicker beat out Nevada Sen. Dean Heller for the chairmanship in a closed-door Nov. 13 GOP conference meeting. Six days later, seated behind his desk on the fifth floor of Dirksen, Wicker was confident in the party’s ability to hold a potential 54-seat majority, despite a map that puts the Senate in play for Democrats.
With limited offensive opportunities, Republicans are defending 24 seats in 2016, including seven in states President Barack Obama won twice. But Wicker, who said he's not expecting a single GOP retirement, was adamant that with a strong GOP presidential nominee, the party would be well-positioned to hold seats in swing states — Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Florida, New Hampshire and beyond.
“I’m not conceding the electoral votes from any of those states to a Democratic presidential nominee, much less a senator like the ones we have who have done a good job, have stayed in touch, worked across the aisle and have been stalwarts and stood up for their states,” he said. “I would feel good about those candidates in a presidential year or a midterm.”
The 63-year-old held his first job in the Capitol in 1967 as a page for Democratic Rep. Jamie L. Whitten. By the time of Whitten's retirement in 1994, he had become the longest serving member in House history — so long that Wicker successfully ran to succeed him, but as a Republican.
Wicker is one of more than two dozen House or Senate pages who went on to later serve in Congress. Retiring Rep. John D. Dingell, D-Mich., may be the only other one to replace the member who appointed him — in Dingell’s case, it was his father.
After receiving undergrad and law degrees from Ole Miss, Wicker joined the Air Force Judge Advocate General Corps. In 1980, he went back to Capitol Hill to serve as House Rules Committee counsel to Mississippi Republican Trent Lott. After a few years he returned to Tupelo, Miss., and in 1987 was elected to the state Senate — a race Wicker said cost him a grand total of $25,000, including for TV and radio ads.
He spent $750,000 to overcome a crowded field and replace the retiring Whitten in the Republican wave of 1994. Soon after, he was elected president of that massive freshman House class. In 2007, then-Gov. Haley Barbour appointed him to replace Lott in the Senate.
In the interview, Wicker said he would be reaching out for advice about his new role to the other chairmen of the GOP campaign committees and to former Virginia Rep. Tom Davis, who once chaired the National Republican Congressional Committee. But among his first bit of outreach before the leadership elections was to Lott.
“He called some time ago and wondered what I thought,” Lott told CQ Roll Call. “I said, ‘Golly, Roger, why would you want that job? It’s the toughest job in the Senate leadership.’ But he felt like he could do the job, and he asked if I had any advice. I said, ‘Well, do your whip work.’ And apparently he did.”
"I’ve known Roger since he was in college," Lott continued. "Roger has always done well in anything he’s done."
As Wicker noted, incoming Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell often makes the final decisions at the NRSC. That includes naming Sen. Rob Portman of Ohio as vice chairman for finance last cycle. That structure could be repeated for 2016.
“While the chair of the NRSC was no doubt consulted, it was a motion that came straight from the leadership,” Wicker said. “So we’ll be visiting with the leader about co-chairs for areas of emphasis. And I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if an announcement is made early on.”
Wicker’s most prominent role in the midterms was on the stump for his endangered Mississippi colleague, Thad Cochran, for whom Wicker first door-knocked as a 21-year-old Ole Miss college student in 1972. This year, Wicker assisted Cochran in the primary and then helped lead an all-hands-on-deck effort that resulted in Cochran emerging victorious in the runoff.
“I was certainly happy to swing into action,” Wicker said. “I think we did the country a favor, and certainly the party a favor, because we got a good man back in office.”
With Republicans back in the majority and Cochran expected to reclaim the Appropriations gavel, Wicker said that will only help the Senate run more smoothly and ultimately help endangered Republicans in 2016.
“To look better than we have the last six years is a pretty low bar, but I think we’ll look far better,” Wicker said. “And I think that’s good politics.”

We actually slept in a little on day four, if you consider sleeping until 7:00 am sleeping in but at Disney it is! We did take things slow that morning, made coffee in the room, and Drew ran up to The Artist’s Palette to get us my favorite Disney breakfast, cheese danishes!
Our plan for the first part of the day was to rope drop the World Showcase and hit several of the Food and Wine booths. They have a great seating area set up behind the booth from Belgium so I sat at the table, or command center as Drew called it, and he walked to all of the nearby booths to pick up what we wanted.
I’m writing up posts for each booth but I’ll give you a quick run down. We started with the waffle and chocolates from Belgium and grabbed a mimosa and baklava from Morocco. I have to say that was pretty much the perfect brunch.
Drew also tried the scallop from New Zealand was brave enough to try the escargot from France. I tried the Eiffel Sour Cosmo Slush from France and I have to say I liked it better than usual drink offerings from France pavilion. Next Drew sampled the mahi mahi from Singapore and the California roll from Japan.
After eating all of that we decided to take a short stroll and set up a new command center in the American Adventure Pavilion. There are several picnic tables set up in the back of the pavilion. Drew again ate a majority of the food, I had a majority of the drinks. He tried out the Florida Local booth, it got rave reviews, Hops & Barley, and Italy. I tried the Red Stag Honey Tea Lemonade from the Fife & Drum Tavern, it was so good, and we tried out the vegetarian option at the Poland booth.
We decided to take a break from the heat and the food and went inside to watch the Voices of Liberty and see the show which is one of our favorites. Afterwards we decided to visit the last two booths we needed to visit on the UK side of the lagoon and set up our command center in the butterfly garden in the UK pavilion. We hit up the Ireland booth and I had what may be my favorite Food and Wine offering, the spanakopita from Greece.
As you can probably imagine we were pretty full by this point so we decided to head over to Hollywood Studios for the rest of the day. As it did every afternoon, the sky started to get dark and we knew rain was on the way. Luckily we made it to the car before it started.
Once we got to Hollywood Studios we rode Star Tours, visited One Man’s Dream to get our traditional photos. No matter how often we visit we take each other’s photo in the same spots. I think we need to change up our wardrobe though because I am pretty sure Drew has already worn that shirt for this photo.
Since it was beginning to rain again we went over to the Animation Academy to see if any characters were out. We hit the jack pot and were able to get our photos taken with Gepetto, the Evil Queen, Captain Hook & Smee, Bolt, and Drew’s girlfriend Pocahontas.
No visit to Hollywood Studios is complete with out visiting The Great Movie Ride so we headed over there and it would be distinctly unpatriotic if we didn’t visit MuppetVision 3D.
Since the park was going to close soon we went over to Toy Story Mania to get in line since fastpasses were long gone by the time we got there. We waited about 40 minutes but had the coolest experience. We were the last people off the ride. Seriously. We had to wait for the wheelchair party in front of us to go through so we could use the accessible ride vehicle. By the time they came back there was no one else in line. We were the only people in the building other than the Cast Members. It was so weird but extremely cool!
After that we took a leisurely stroll out of the park and headed back to our resort. It had been an awesome day but I was ready to curl up with my Dumbo pillow pet and get ready for day number five.
You had me worried in yesterday’s post when you said you were going to “sleep in” for this leg of the trip (Sleep? At Disney? Whaa..?) but 7:00 A.M. and making a rope drop is, indeed, a great morning! That food looks awesome. And being the last one off a ride is wonderfully surreal — I often try to get the last boat on Pirates at DL.
Scene One – With the smack of a riding crop, petite Mistress Kirra Lynn introduces herself and orders you to your knees. In a very hot POV scene, this tiny but vicious blonde reveals her amazing flesh, her plump pussy lips and tight buttocks. She shakes her ass in your face, then beckons you to follow her dazzling butt as she crawls up the stairs
While cleaning her kitchen, Kirra catches a peeping tom looking in at her. It's neighbor Bladimir who claims he's just there to borrow some sugar and cream. Did he pick the wrong house! Despite his panicked protests, she leads him to the bedroom where she binds him like a mummy in clear plastic wrap. She throws him onto the bed and stands on his chest while she strips.
Mistress Kirra proceeds to FACESIT, REVERSE FACESIT, and SIDE-SADDLE FACESIT the helpless man. When she allows him brief moments to breathe, he tells her that he's married and can't be doing this. “You're wife isn't here!” she says as she grinds her pussy on his face. “Tell me that my pussy tastes better than your wife's” she demands. When he refuses, she SMOTHERS him to the brink of brain damage.
Kirra furiously bounces and shakes her ass on his face, stunning his brain. She swirls and rocks it back and forth just inches from Bladimir's face, hypnotizing him, eventually turning him from a devoted family man to her DEVOTED ASS SLAVE. Now he eagerly tongues her asshole until she CUMS.
Scene Two – That sexual loose cannon known as Mistress Flower Tucci is once again unleashed. Her POV scene is frenzy of ass shaking, hole fingering, and explosive SQUIRTING in your face. She calls you a pervert (and worse) as you wantonly gaze up at her tan, jiggling flesh and dripping crotch.
Flower releases Slave Hugo from his under-the-stairs cubby hole. She leads him out by his leash and makes him lie on his back on the stairs. She FACE SLAPS him to get his full attention before plunging her thick buttocks down on his head. She bounces on his outstretched tongue, making him drive it into her anus. She turns and SMOTHERS him with her fleshy pussy lips, masturbating wildly until she SQUIRTS like a fire hose all over his naked body.
She leads him to the couch for some ASS KISSING and ASS WORSHIP, but Hugo fails to satisfy her. She ties up his raging hard cock with his leash and yanks it painfully as she sits on his face. His cries of pain and gasps for air only make her even more crazed. She orgasms on his face screaming in pleasure!

We thought we would let our readers know that Romantic Times has announced their nominations for this years RT Awards. I was pretty excited when I seen a few of my favorite authors on the list including my girl DB Reynolds, Elizabeth Amber, Jeaniene Frost, Karen Hawkins and Lora Leigh. The list is quite extensive so I cannot put everyone who is nominated on here so anyone interested the link is:
When Christiana married the earl, she thought she'd found the perfect marriage. Turns out she was wrong. From the moment they both said "I do", Dicky treated her like dirt under his feet. Miserable, Christiana settled in for a life of misery, hoping against hope he'd quickly die and end her suffering.
When she realizes her husband is dead, she's afraid it will interfere with her younger sisters coming out in society, so she does the only logical thing-puts her husband on ice and goes to a ball. But when she sees her husband walk into the room, she's sure the evening won't end as planned.
Richard is the true earl. Cheated out of his title by his scheming twin, he returns to England in time to learn not only is his brother dead, but he's married. Thinking the best thing to do is step back into his life, he's in for a rude awakening when he realizes the extent of the mess his brother left in his wake. Not only that, but admitting the truth would cause a scandal, since it turns out his brother's marriage to Christiana isn't truly legal. Marrying her will be the best thing, but he's not sure if he'll be content with his inherited bride. That is, until they share their first kiss...
While I've read several books from Lynsay Sands, this was the first historical of hers I've picked up. I'm thrilled that it didn't disappoint. There's the perfect balance of humor, intrigue, romance and disbelief to make it a great read. It was great to see Christiana and Richard floudering about the first day they met, both trying to keep secrets from the other, only to have it blow up in their faces.
I enjoy Lynsay Sands as a writer because she does an amazing job of seamlessly blending all elements of the story together in such a way that it makes you have to finish the book. I finished this book in less than a day, start to finish, and I'm thinking of buying the next book in the series, even though I don't buy historical. Bravo, Lynsay Sands, and keep up the good work.
I was a little worried about reading THE COUNTESS only because the last historical I read by Lynsay Sands disappointed me which has never happened as she is one of my favorite paranormal authors. Well, she definitely came through this time I loved the story it made me laugh and there was never a lull in the storyline from Christiana and Richard to the secondary characters. I will be buying the next book in the series THE HEIRESS to see what more mischief the Madison sisters can get themselves into.
I really enjoyed the Countess as well & The Heiress was equally good (although part of it runs concurrent w/ the 1st book, it's interesting to see the events from the other characters viewpoint). |

We were so excited to take a road trip with Danny Seo and Ford this last weekend to go from the bustle of Los Angeles to the sunny and serene Palm Springs, all behind the wheels of their latest hybrid Ford Fusion and plug-in Ford Fusion Energi. In case you didn’t catch the trip on Snapchat (follow us at Sunsetmag for behind the scenes content every week!) we’ve put together a list of where you need to stay, eat and hang the next time you’re in the Valley.
Directly across the street from the Beverly Center, the Sofitel is a haven of L.A. style and comfort. It’s filled with touches of modern art including paint swirls over the bed or prints of noir lips, but also holds one of the comfiest beds you’ll find in the city.
L.A. Live is a huge shopping area and entertainment venue, and we were excited to be there for a MADE LA event and Moschino fashion show. The entertainment deck was filled with different local makers, from Ford’s denim lab to the holistic Sun Potion. But what caught our eye was the DJ’s turntable, surrounded by cinder blocks and succulents—mind if we take it home?
If you’re looking to feel zen, there’s nowhere better to start the morning than Wanderlust Hollywood. Focused on a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, it’s a wellness restaurant combined with a yoga studio. We tried their mango chia pudding and avocado toast, and we wish all healthy food tasted this good. A yoga class on their third-floor studio, nicknamed “The Haven” was a perfect way to relax before hitting the road to the next part of our journey.
After arriving in Palm Springs with a little help from Ford, it was all about staying cool in the heat.
Break free of the go-to spots in Palm Springs and book your stay at the Colony Palms, a cozy little resort with Moroccan vibes. We can’t get enough of these headboards—every room has a different design, and we’re obsessed with them all. Anywhere with a 24/7 pool is our kind of place.
When in Palm Springs, you spend the evenings outside, and it’s the amazing reward for surviving the day’s heat. We enjoyed the sunset over dinner at Copley’s, where the menu offers a wide variety from ahi tuna tacos to prosciutto-wrapped duck. Being full to the brim didn’t stop us when it came to their dessert sampler of chocolate, fruit, and apple pie. Extra bonus: it’s a two-minute walk back to your dreamy headboard at the Colony Palms.
Loan companies that make quick easy loans to people in financial distress. There are 45 payday loan companies in the Altamont, Kansas area.

Both are located on a beautiful expanse of lawn and gardens leading to a private, 150’ sandy beach. The villas can be rented separately or together. Each villa has a full staff and swimming pool. If one group rents both villas, all may dine together. If there are two different groups meals are served on individual open-air patios at each villa or on picnic tables at the beach. If separate groups are renting each house the beach is shared, and volleyball/badminton area and seaside gazebo are for the use of the guests staying at Linga-Awile only. Each villa has its own outdoor barbecue grill and seaside rinse-off shower. |

270,719,798 | October 8, 2014 this was the year of the 20th Annual Women on Wall Street Conference: Collective Wisdom hosted by Deutsche Bank. It has truly been a conference of growth for women on Wall Street. It was interesting to listen to Maria Bartiromo speak about women in the work force. It was especially enlightening to listen to Shonda Rhimes (Creator and Executive Producer of "Grey's Anatomy" and "Scandal" and also Executive Producer of "How To Get Away with Murder" One powerful talented woman who has won many awards and has been listed as one of the "50 most Powerful Women in Business by Fortune Magazine.

Vicki Fuller, Chief Investment Officer New York State Common Retirement Fund, Sallie krawcheck, Owner, 85 Broads, Mary Schapiro, Managing Director and Chairman of the Governance and market Practice, Promontory Financial and Clara Shih, CEO and Founder, Hearsay Social.
Vicki being a woman of color talked about her being the only one woman and having a double impact on what she has done in her life. Sallie Krawcheck spoke about when she was at Citi and they invested in bad investments. While she talked about doing the right thing and returning money on the bad decisions the bank made she also landed on the front page of The Wall Street Journal as she was fired. With all this she turned the bad into quite a few positive steps in her career.
The we had Mary Schapiro who is basically a D.C. government native and shared her experiences on that side of the fence.
Clara Shih created her own business and was startled to find out it was a hit as she kept on going. She decided to write a text book which is now used at Harvard. Now she is one of the youngest women to sit on a board directors (Starbucks).
One of the take-always is that: Networking is the most important tool to grown your business. It is OK to stumble....it's how you pick yourself up and carry on that matters.

February 13th, 2010 Fran lee passed away...a guest on The Woman's Connection when we first started out in the 1990's. She had her own program on "How TO" do and fix things. But she was best known for her 1972 activism on getting rid of Dog Waste. and became law in 1978..in New York City, we now have the Pooper Scooper Law thanks to her. As Ed Koch once said "New Yorkers can hold their heads up high". Enjoyed my interview with her and her frankness!!
Women's choice to cheat is both daring and desperate. A desperate plea for help and a daring catalyst for change in their marriage or their own selves, the affair is serious stuff. Not just fun. Let's take a peak at a few wives with whom I have worked
Not that she doesn't have a handsome, successful husband. Not that she doesn't have two adorable children. Not that she doesn't have a beautiful home with two acres of land. Debra, a stay-at- home mom, seems to have it all. But does she? Actually home sweet home is not so sweet. Humdrum days - food shopping, cooking, cleaning and carting her kids around - go on and on. She feels trapped, bored, powerless, and lonely. To top it off Debra's husband doesn't get it. He's too busy trying to get ahead to get into her. Along comes an attentive, sexy admirer and bingo!
A devoted loving mother and wife, Sarah has also carved out a successful career. In a perfect world, she would have the best of both worlds - work and motherhood. In our less than perfect world, she does not. She lets me know "I'm stressed out and ready to explode." Her guilt about leaving her children propels her into overdrive at home. To top it off, our effective firecracker at work can't get a charge out of her husband. He does not help nor does he understand her desires or needs. At work, Larry does.
Scrappy, sexy generation X, Mary is determined not to follow in her mother's footsteps. Her martyr mom settled for a secure, dependent, and devoted dull husband, but Mary won't. Mary desires committed love in marriage, security, children and comfort, all that good stuff. A little like her mom? Not exactly. Mary desires more from her marriage. Along with love, she longs for lust, romance, excitement, and passionate hot sex in her marriage. Sociopolitical history, pop culture, and family history entwine and strangle her strivings. Unshackling from her corseted past, Mary breathes freely. Air borne of desire carries the wings of surprise. To her surprise, she sees clearly that her husband is not doing it for her. So what's a restless young wife to do? She finds a sensitive, sexy lover who promises all.
As you can see from the above vignettes women have affairs primarily because they're not getting their needs and desires met in their marriages. Try as they may, wives are often unable to reach their husbands.
Rather than remaining stuck in dead or frictional marriages and existing in quiet desperation, discord and anguish, these daring wives choose to live more fully. Despite temporary pain, the affair is often a far better option than a life not lived. An awaking, an urgent cry for change, the affair has multiple meanings. Above all, it's a desperate move towards a fuller richer life with love.
Feeling stifled, unfulfilled, frustrated, and helpless in their marriages, they step outside of their marriages. Taking the step is in itself empowering. The affair is a daring active choice, not a more-of- the-same passive response. It screams out loudly "Enough! Something's got to give, either the marriage or me." That's only the first step to autonomy and power. It takes a daring wife to have an affair but an even more daring wife to go into therapy to repair her self and/or the marriage.
What about the children? People often stay in unsatisfactory marriages for the sake of the children. That's a fallacy. Parents in miserable marriages only make for miserable children. The legacies for these children are blighted models of marital relationships, and unfulfilled, powerless mothers. The affair, while not necessarily the most prudent choice, is nevertheless an act of empowerment. Instead of a weak, dependent or embittered mother, the children now have a stronger, more independent, and fulfilled female role model.
A common myth is that the affair is about sex. It is not. For the most part, sex was better at home before romance eroded. Screaming fights or silent simmering hostility erodes romance and distinguishes the flames of passion. Chances are that problems in your sex life are not about the quality, but the quantity. Fighting to the death or suffering in silence kills sexual desire for most wives. And there's less and less sex in the marriage.
If insufficient sex is the result of unsatisfactory marriages and affairs the result of unhappy marriages, what are the causes? What do wives want? It isn't only that they desire emotional engagement. It isn't only that they desire sexual passion. It isn't only that they desire safety and protection along with autonomy and independence. I have found that wives want mutuality, equal power relationships, and recognition from their husbands. Devotion, love, and commitment without passionate sex, fun, and excitement is the steak without the sizzle. For wives to feel sexy they need the sizzle.
While the affair may be a last resort, engaging in therapy can be the beginning of a fresh new start. Coming to terms with our demons may be difficult, but we can do it. As women we've suffered and overcome the pains of childbirth, oppression, and the double standard. Over the years we've suffered and only grown stronger.
Our childhoods and marriages in the foreground are inextricably bound with socio politics, pop culture, and feminism in the background. Examining the strands of our interior and exterior forces can be daunting. Above all it can be a fascinating life enhancing experience.
In Shakespeare's time salad was served tossed with dried fruit and nuts, making it especially sweet and healthful. The garnishes back then were interesting. Tall rosemary branches decorated with fresh cherry pairs were anchored in half lemons. It makes an ordinary salad very festive and makes any meal a special occasion. This salad is definitely one way to get your kids to eat their greens. Serves 6
Whisk together the verjus, oil, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Combine the herbs and lettuces, capers, raisins, almonds, currants, dates, and figs in a large bowl. Add the vinaigrette and toss until well coated.
If you are recreating the original salad presentation, press one rosemary branch into the rounded end of each lemon half. Using the stem, a wire, or ribbon, attach 3 cherries to each rosemary branch.
Invert a small bowl, dinner-roll or handful of croutons in the center of a very large serving platter for additional height. Arrange the salad mix over and around the bowl. Place the rosemary branches on the four sides of the platter and arrange the lemon slices and Candied Citrus Peel around the platter.
For an even more elaborate traditional Elizabethan garnish, alternate lemon slices topped with capers with quartered hard-boiled eggs, candied orange peel, and egg "porcupines" made by inserting almond and date slivers into hard-boiled egg halves.
It isn't only kids who love to play with their food. Back in Shakespeare's time chefs loved to sculpt meat, marzipan, and dough into various shapes. The meatballs for this soup are formed into the shape of a pear (or if you artistically challenged, just a simple round apple). They are fun to make and have an extra surprise. There is a grape in the center, which gives the savory meatball a wonderful sweet and tangy taste. This delicious soup is easy enough for a mid-week family meal, but impressive enough for company. Serves 6
Combine the ground meat, breadcrumbs, egg, thyme, parsley, salt and cloves in a bowl. Divide the mixture into 12 equal portions. Wrap each portion of meat around a grape and form a pear shape.
Preheat the broiler. Place the pears upright on a well-greased pan, and broil 4 to 5 inches from the flame for 4 minutes, or until done. Using a toothpick, gently insert a sage leaf into the top of each pear.
My 20 year career as a stand-up comedian has taught me first hand, how to succeed with any kind of audience. When I moved into professional speaking, I quickly discovered the great advantage of professional speaking over comedy. In speaking you don't have to be funny! But if you are, you are considered a sensation. Knowledge and humor is a powerful mixture, and in speaking its a win-win situation.
Unlike a comedian, there is very little risk involved if a speaker bombs with a joke. If you "bomb" as a comedian you risk never getting booked again. If your humor fails as a professional speaker, simply continue with the presentation. No one however likes to hear a round of silence instead of one oflaughter. Here are some tried and true methods to give your humor the best chance to succeed on the platform.
#1 - You don't have to be a comedian to be funny. Anyone can tell a joke. Find your comic persona. What type of humor are you most comfortable with? Some speakers are better at one liners, some at observational humor, others excel at story telling. Timing is essential. The closer you stick to your natural timing, the more success you will have.
#2 - Know your audience! Are they blue or white collar? Liberal or conservative? What do they have in common? Are there regional sensibilities? The nature of your audience determines the type of humor. A colleague of mine jokingly yelled out "Last call at the bar!" Only to discover most of his audience were Alcoholics Anonymous members!
#3- Localize and personalize your materials. Audiences love to be included. Tailor your humorous anecdote. Make it seem as if it just happened. They will think you are incredibly talented. Mark Twain said, "The best improvisation is rehearsed for 48 hours." It is better to say "On my way here from Newark Airport" than "A month ago when I was in Dallas. " Personalize humor from a joke book or speaker's file. The audience wants to relate to you, and you want to relate to them.
#4 - Be prepared with a few "What IF" lines. IF the mike malfunctions, IF the lights go out, IF a fire alarm sounds, IF, IF, IF. Have stock joke answers that you will use in these situations.
#5 - There are many ways to speak funny. Make enlargements of relevant funny cartoons. Use props. Have silly pledges or awards. You are only limited by your imagination.
#6 - Humor is important because it keeps your audience interested. Your job is to impart information. Humor keeps a audience tuned into your message. The more attentive they are, the more they will retain.
#7 - Space out the humor. The beginning, middle and end of a speech are the strategic places for a joke. You want to start with a laugh to warm them up, throw some humor in the middle to keep them interested, and end with a laugh so they will have a nice, warm feeling.
#8 - Practice telling the joke on unsuspecting friends. Just like with your speech, practice your jokes and delivery. Don't tell someone you are going to tell them a joke, just work it into a conversation and watch their reaction. If they laugh, you know you have a winner on your hands and you've mastered the joke.
#9- Do not telegraph the end of the joke - surprise them. Suspense is the key in any good joke. If someone feels they know the punch line, the joke is a let down. The listener should be waiting to find out what the punch line is.
#10 - Be yourself and have a good time. If the audience sees you are really enjoying being on stage, your enthusiasm will be contagious. If you are having a good time, then your audience will too. |
92,247,610 | Right before when you are about to give up on something, life gives you the same thing from a different angle and then; all of a sudden, you begin to love it or at least do something to accommodate the change. I have always disliked Mumbai (from the bottom of my heart) but before I left it; we developed a love-hate relationship. Love from Mumbai, Hate from me. But the day I left it, I realized how much I'm leaving with it. The friends I had made, the food I had wished was a bit spicier, the weather to be a little more generous and most of all- the rains to just stop being so heavy on us! Everything said and done, I knew I'd miss it because of the company I'd keep but I couldn't be more wrong. It taught me everything I'm proud of today!
So, I was more than happy to accompany dad for his friend's daughter's wedding. Met friends and made a day out of it.
Here's the outfit that keeps coming back to me. I can wear it Dungaree style, 70s style or just the formal way! This is my favorite style and I cannot wait to explore more in the same version.
thanks! You mean the outfit gifs right? I use my normal camera on my iPhone and edit it with photoshop and after effects.
I'm glad you appreciate it now, it's often that way, we need to be out of a place to love it so much.
I like the outfit. It's not something I would wear on a daily basis, but I think it's great for work. You look flawless! xx
Legos, coloring books, and creative play were my happiest childhood memories. Life used to be simpler. We all used to be simpler. Friendships were made in minutes because everyone needed to talk about birthdays, favorite colors, and food. Smiles were as easy as breathing and Grandparents were superheroes. There were no bills, deadlines, or complicated relationships and it only took five minutes to get ready for the day.
A few short years later, life changed for all of us. After a childish or naïve action, we were told to “grow up.” So we did grow up and not just physically. We thought it was a rite of passage… it’s what we are all supposed to do, right? So it begins with sexy and violent media, biting comments, and bad relationships hijacking any pure thoughts, forcing us to toughen up. Reality hits sooner than we expect and we doubt every dream and question every authority. For many, the expectations of family, friends, and peers suck the simple life down the drain and a child is left naked in the bathtub, feeling dirty and let down. After innocence is beaten out of you that way, trust doesn’t come easily anymore because no one wants to get hurt.
Life is hard but we still want relationships, don’t we? We need them. So we maintain friends and family but we stuff cushions between ourselves and everyone else. The internet, cyber dating, iTech and a rapidly growing personal media market help keep us in control. We’re in-touch without too much.
According to 2011 Pew Research, over 75% of people ages 12-17 in the U.S. have a cell phone. 88% of that number text many times a day. At Cedarville University in 2010, a student research sample showed that one out of every three freshmen students sent over 100 texts a day, 3,000 texts a month, and 36,000 texts a year. As Communication Age aficionados in the 12 to 35 years of age range, we text as much as we talk and refer back to our most difficult conversations by recalling our chat history. We have more potential to be insecure face-to-face but disclose our deepest secrets to the world via Facebook.
Even researchers have taken an interest in how this effects our relationships. “We’re texting at a distance,” said Psychologist Sherry Turkle of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. “We’re using inanimate objects to convince ourselves that even when we’re alone, we feel together. And then when we’re with each other, we put ourselves in situations where we feel alone — constantly on our mobile devices.” (see article here) So what if our young adult life is chronicled in hundreds of online photo album archives, blogs, sms, and YouTube video channels? Sure, it’s recorded for posterity but does anyone care? Everyone knows our status but nobody knows our hearts. We discover that growing up makes life more complex but less complete.
Please tell me again… why do I need to grow up? Clearly, normal in this case isn’t always better. The Bible says we’re supposed to “Be imitators of God as dearly loved children” (Ephesians 5:1). That means getting smarter but not because we’re digging through trash for the education: “be wise about what’s good and innocent about evil” (Romans 16:18). Jesus put it even more strongly when he said, “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven” (Matthew 18:3).
Therefore, the saying “less is more” rings true. If we have all the intelligence of a full grown adult and none of the simple, trusting relationships that make life worth living, what good is achieved? Going back to the beginning, in this case, (being “reborn” a “new creation” [2 Cor. 5:17]) is the only way to go forward.
I Corinthians 1:27 sums it up well. “God chose the simple things of the world to confound the wise.”

I am 18 I have a child now and me and my fiance are happy. However, I have been told to “grow up” by my mother in law . I dont know if it’s bad to be immature but I dont want to grow up if it means I have to be miserable.
Child-like innocence can go along with maturity and responsibility; in fact, it should! What do you think? Couldn’t you choose to be innocent and pure (guarding your thoughts from negativity and bad influences) while still making those tough decisions to faithfully protect and be responsible for the family you’ve begun with your fiance? (: Loving people and putting their needs first is a hallmark of pure motives and innocence.
Fiesta Henderson Casino is an unique 3-star hotel set 18 km from The Strip and 17 km from Boulder City. Offering accommodation in a 10-story Mexican building, the hotel was remodeled in 2007. Among the various facilities of this property you will also find an elevator, a convenience store and a vending machine.
The venue is set in Henderson district, a few steps from Henderson Convention Center. The property is set 30 minutes' walk from the heart of Henderson and offers an easy access to a stadium and golf courses.
The hotel features the mountain -view rooms with LCD TV set, a storage space and a coffee maker. They include a roll in shower, a hairdryer and toiletries in the bathrooms.
The venue serves fine specialties in its onsite casual restaurant. The sports bar is a great place to enjoy a variety of exciting drinks. Several restaurants are nearby, including Buffet at Fiesta Station Resort and Fuego.
Excellent location for business in the Las Vegas - Henderson area. Extremely convenient for getting on the 15 and 215 freeways. I had business in searchlight to the south and also in west Las Vegas - both reachable easily. Fuego is an excellent steak house.
I liked being able to unload my car by the doors next to the elevator to my room. I liked the varity of food placed to eat
I didn't know I could have had $2.00 off on the buffet until after I paid the extray money. Maybe that is why I didn't find any thing that I liked to eat there. I will eat at your other places of drive somewhere next time.
The hotel is fine but the blarring music is annoying and intollerable. You cant get away from it in any of the restaurants. The rooms do not have coffee makers or microwave ovens and the front desk says that since they allowed Starbucks in the hotel they cannot have individual room amenities such as a coffee pot. I get up early and do my computer work and Starbucks is not even open. Took half an hour to get a cup of coffee. Wont stay here again for those two reasons.
the fiesta is clean, friendly, convenient, it has A nice pool. the prices are fair. we stay there when we get the chance and we are always happy.
Pool was a little crowded with kids throwing balls around in the hot tub also, not too enjoyable for the adults. Maybe have an adult time only in the pool. Did not see how to get down to the river easy.
The hotel was quiet , distanced from the frenetic pace of the Strip. The slots and casino music was not blaring. There was always slot machines or tables available. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The buffet was superb with a variety of choices and very reasonable. The only downside was lack of public transportation to downtown Las Vegas. It is a 20 minute taxi ride.
It took them a while to get the internet fixed, but it was available after a while. There was a $10 plus tax Resort Charge. Never had that before. But even when that was included in the total price, it was still an inexpensive place to stay.
I hated this hotel. They only had one person in registration and it took a really long wait to deal with a key card problem. The carpets were dirty. The room I was in has paper thin walls and I was awakened at 3 a.m. by a couple arguing in the next room. The internet access was difficult to stay connected to and I had a cold shower 2 out of 3 days! Ugh!!!

119,811,158 | If you’re received a serious medical diagnosis, you should consider seeing another physician for a second opinion. Not because you shouldn’t trust your first doctor, but because you need to become as informed on your illness as possible and different points of view can help you in considering your options for treatment.
The following are seven considerations you should always keep in mind when getting a second medical opinion:
The obvious and key question to begin with is “Does the 2nd doctor agree with the 1st diagnosis and the implications of it?” If not, you should consider getting yet a 3rd opinion and even a consultation at a University hospital or academic center.
And what are the benefits, risks, and cost of each? Unfortunately, medicine as a business and economic factors often cloud a practitioner’s judgment. This is not because they mean to intentionally misguide you, but there are financial incentives involved and you need try to understand their potential influence on the doctors.
a. Virtually all of most physicians’ ongoing medical education is paid for by the drug companies and represents slick advertising masquerading as educational activities. This even includes most of the studies in well-known journals. These studies are paid for by the drug companies and the journals’ main source of income is often drug company advertising, an obvious potential conflict of interest. Research shows that a study paid for by a drug company is often not reliable (as much as 40–2,000% more likely to show a positive result than an independently funded study!). Most doctors think that they are being responsible and scientific when in actuality they are pushing expensive and often toxic new medications and treatments — that are not as effective as lower cost natural or generic therapies.
b. If the procedure is done by the recommending physician and is a source of their income, then there is a heavy bias to believing that it is good for the patient. I remember decades ago while in my internal medicine practice that recommending a special heart monitor called a “holter monitor” was quite profitable. As a physician, I was easily convinced that this would save people’s lives by picking up dangerous abnormal heart rhythms for treatments. I remember the resistance I had to believing new research showing that this test was overdone. Yet it turned out that it was.
Because of this, it is good to get a choice of treatment options, preferably including natural options. Natural options will have to come from a holistic physician, as most standard physicians are taught that natural remedies are quackery — which in medicine is often just another way of saying the option is “not good business.” A good holistic physician is more likely to guide you based on the science and research of natural remedies (though there can also be financial biases in holistic medicine).
3. What if I do the more conservative treatments recommended by my first physician, or nothing at all?
For most medications or medical procedures, presume the risk is a bit higher than reported, as most studies are done in “best case” scenarios. Because of this, if the risk of a conservative approach is really not much higher than the recommended treatment, I personally will tend to choose being conservative. To put this in perspective, my reading of the data suggests that deaths from medications and medical procedures is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S.—and is largely ignored by standard medicine.
4. In serious cases involving life-prolonging treatment options, what are the differences in quality of life?
In cancer treatments, for example, it isn’t enough to only ask whether one treatment will prolong life over another. If the treatment prolongs life by one week, but leaves the patient largely incapacitated for two months when they only have six months of estimated time left, and the treatment leaves the family bankrupt to boot, it may not be something you want to choose. Nonetheless, many physicians have no clue whether a treatment will prolong your life by a week or a year (the drug companies only give them whether there is a statistical difference). Knowing the different benefits expected from different treatment options, particularly when those treatments are likely to be toxic or expensive, is a very important consideration.
In general, if the first opinion came from a doctor in a specific specialty area, consider getting the second opinion from someone of a different but related specialty. If getting a second opinion on surgery, consider getting the opinion from a nonsurgeon.
A holistic physician can offer a very different set of options (visit the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine for help finding one).
Finally, bring a friend, family member or other advocate with you during the physician visit, along with a tape recorder. Ask the physician if you can record the visit so that you can review and better understand what they told you. Because of the legal climate, some physicians may be uncomfortable with the visit being recorded, and if this is the case honor their feelings (or the information they give is likely to be so hedged as to be useless). Personally, as a physician, I have encouraged my patients to record their visits for over 20 years (and had a tape recorder in my office that they could use), as it helped me to give them the needed information more quickly and clearly. |
