Parker Solar Probe Continues Successful Commissioning Operations
5 Sep 2018, 14:31 UTC
(200 words excerpt, click title or image to see full post)
Parker Solar Probe continues to bring its instruments and secondary systems online — slightly ahead of schedule — as it speeds away from Earth.
On Friday, Aug. 31, flight controllers at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Laurel, Maryland performed a second planned Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM-2), a thruster burn which lasted for 35.2 seconds. This maneuver, which was executed with a high degree of precision, adjusted the direction of the spacecraft to position it for its Venus flyby on Oct. 3, when it will use Venus’ gravity to shed speed and draw its orbit closer to the Sun in preparation for its first solar approach.
On Sept. 2, four two-meter electric field antennas, part of the FIELDS instrument suite, were deployed. These antennas (as well as a fifth, which is mounted on the long boom at the other end of Parker Solar Probe) need to be extended away from the spacecraft to accurately measure the electric fields of the corona. These four antennas are not protected by Parker Solar Probe’s Thermal Protection System, or heat shield, so they are made of niobium C-103, a high-temperature alloy that can withstand the intense solar heat.

Former President, Olusegun Obasanjo, has revealed that President Muhammdau Buhari would not have won the 2015 Presidential election, if not for his support.
“I know Buhari and he too knows me. Till the day I die, Buhari will continue to address me as ‘sir’. In 2015, if I did not support Buhari, he would not have won the election”, Obasanjo said.
Obasanjo, who spoke on Wednesday, at the 2018 Ibogun Day celebration with the Ogun State Governor, Ibikunle Amosun, and others in attendance, said that he is qualified to criticise Buhari and his administration.
Obasanjo explained that his career in the Nigeria Military, and his position as a former President, qualifies him to speak for and against Buhari.
“I am qualified to speak against Buhari. One, I have done it before. Two, I have shed my blood for this country. Even my biological son has shed his blood.
“Why can I not speak about what is best for this country? I am doubly qualified to do that”, Obasanjo said.
On the next general elections, Obasanjo had on several occasions declared his support for his former Vice, Atiku Abubakar, who is contesting on the platform of the Peoples Democratic Party, PDP.
He once again reiterated his support for Atiku, and told the Ogun State Governor and other attendees of the programme, that the best Candidate should win in 2019.
“I have made my choice, it may not be in tandem with yours. Let my choice be, and let yours be, and let God decide; and whoever gets there, let all of us support him”, Obasanjo said.

Chennai Music Season
With a Few Apaswaras (off-key notes)
By Manjeri Raman, Savannah, GA
Manjeri Raman was a long-time resident of Robinson Twp. before he moved to Savannah, GA. Here are his observations on the last Chennai Music “Season.”
I moved to Chennai in March, 2009 for an one-year assignment with a chemical company. One of the attractions of the move was the famous annual music festival in the Tamil month of Marghazi (the solar month Dhanush) between mid December and mid January. The unofficial season starts in November itself with over sixty Sabhas (music associations) in the city organizing music concerts and dance recitals.
This could very well be the world’s biggest music festival — over 4000 concerts in the greater Chennai metro area over eight weeks. Typical schedule at the most famous venue, the Madras Music Academy (The Academy for locals), has five concerts/day between 9:00 AM and 9:30 PM.
The schedule follows a strict hierarchical grading of the performers. The prima donnas (male and female) get the evening prime-time slots with ticket prices steep by Indian standards. The aspirants get the rest of the slots with their own pecking order. Obviously, there is cut-throat competition to get on stage at the Academy and the successful people usually meet the basic standards. But connections, influences, recommendations, and local support also help! You can see varying shades of nepotism.
A significant number of NRIs, particularly from the U.S., is in attendance with the books and other aids to understand the ragas and other nuances of Karnatic music. NRI artistes particularly from the US, Europe, and Singapore, taking advantage of the favorable exchange rates, have their own sabhas — Hamsadhwani and Musicians Living Abroad or MLA. Since it is not easy to get to go on stage in native sabhas, many of these NRI artistes perform in their own sabhas with other NRIs in the audience and later claim that their performance in Chennai was well-received by its discriminating and eclectic audience!
Another strange trend, particularly in Bharatanatyam, and may be in other genre as well, is that often, the dancers pay the sabhas — and not the other way around — to get a chance to go on stage. Essentially, dancers with affluent parents/husbands, or their own resources pretty much buy their way to embellish their glitzy brochures.
Locals complain that the NRIs garner the high-end tickets (inexpensive by the NRI standards) depriving the more dedicated Chennai music lovers affordable access. I had coffee one day and at my table were desis from California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Toronto!!
I also met Mr. S. Raman, a retired government official from New Delhi who comes annually and attends only a selected number of concerts. He picks concerts with singers who he thinks perform according to the old Karnatic music traditions. He avoids the marquee crowd pullers. He also listens to young artists who get to sing for only ninety minutes. He was lamenting how the age-old Music Academy has changed for the worse with crass commercialism with sponsoring companies gaudily promoting everything under the sun in the premises!! Corporate logos as stage backdrops for saris, jewelry, hotels, and banks are jarring distractions.
For many Chennai socialites, like socialites everywhere, attending concerts in the season is an annual ritual. Many women come in their best silks and diamonds. Often, they never miss an opportunity to engage in light conversations about the music just to make others aware that they are not totally ignorant!
In the middle of a performance, sometimes, artistes greet the VVIPs arriving very late as they cavalierly glide into their front-row seats. This misbehavior both by the artistes and by the VVIPs galled me! Another bad, rude feature in Karnatic recitals is audience leaving the auditorium during the percussion solo (called tani avartanam). They return after a coffee or a bio-break. These “hoary” traditions continue.
Now I want to vent my ire on the most obnoxious audience misbehavior. Unlike western concerts or operas where entry to the auditorium is limited to the breaks between acts or songs, the audience here can drift in and out as they please. We see this in the US too, to a lesser degree.
For star performers, all seats are sold, and late comers’ empty seats are scattered throughout. Late comers for these seats drift in at their leisure right in the middle of the recital. It becomes an annoying experience to witness a parade of rear ends disturbing you as they walk in front of you. People walk in 90 minutes late for a 150-minute concert!!
More than 50% of people leave the auditorium before the concert formally ends. They are usually in great hurry, and you need to be careful. You can be trampled! What amazes me is that the people who behave like this are the well educated and the well heeled!!
There is no consideration to provide special facilities for handicapped people. In fact, there are many hazards for them to climb and cross hurdles to get to their seats right from the moment they enter the main gate.
It is not unusual to see persons, particularly women, offering a loud greeting to someone sitting about three rows ahead of or behind them and enquiring about their welfare! I tried to enforce some discipline, most of the time failing in my attempt. Only genetic engineering offers hope.
In spite of all this, I did enjoy the twenty-plus concerts, having learned to live through these aggravations.

Spokane Planned Parenthood Workers Laugh as Suffering Woman Loaded into an Ambulance
January 14, 2015 By Operation Rescue 10 Comments
UPDATE: 911 Computer Aided Dispatch Transcript indicates injured woman suffered abdominal pain and was transported.
Spokane, WA – While Planned Parenthood workers in Spokane stood nearby laughing, emergency responders loaded a patient into an awaiting ambulance and rushed her to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment.
The emergency took place at approximately 9:30 a.m. on January 7, 2015, which was known to be an abortion day at the Planned Parenthood office.
Mary Sorensen, who volunteers for Sidewalk Advocates for Life, told Operation Rescue that the Planned Parenthood workers deployed umbrella to prevent her from getting a good photograph of the incident.
“Astoundingly, they were laughing – laughing as they used those umbrellas to block our view,” said an incredulous Sorensen. “A woman is harmed, and they laugh?”
Nevertheless, Sorensen did get a photo of the ambulance near clear Planned Parenthood signage.
“All too many abortion patients have ended up on a slab in the morgue. We pray that this woman’s injuries were survivable and that somehow those responsible for her suffering will be brought to justice,” said Operation Rescue President Troy Newman. “We appreciate Mary Sorensen’s quick thinking and action that provided documentation that is further proof that abortion in America is not safe and never has been. When women walk into a Planned Parenthood abortion facility, they run the very real risk of suffering a similar fate.”
This incident represents the first medical emergency at an abortion facility documented by Operation Rescue in 2015.
The patient’s status remains unknown.
The medical emergency at Planned Parenthood came as the City of Spokane was considering a new ordinance that will prevent pro-life sidewalk counselors from stepping into Planned Parenthood’s driveway to distribute literature to abortion-bound women. At a packed city council meeting on Monday night, the Council voted to enact the ordinance at the behest of Planned Parenthood and over the voiced opposition of pro-life activists.
“With the obvious dangers that await women at Planned Parenthood abortion clinics, this ordinance only makes it harder for pro-life sidewalk counselors to inform women and offer them practical assistance. Unfortunately this means that women who might otherwise been helped will run the risk of ending up in the back of an ambulance or even on a slab in the morgue,” said Newman. “We urge the Spokane City Council to reconsider their decision and we encourage pro-lifers affected by this ordinance to sue to have it removed if they don’t.”

A day after losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 9th, the Cincinnati Reds returned them the favor.
Xavier Paul and Drew Stubbs celebrate after Paul tied the game.
Of course, having the offense show up early enough in the game to provide Johnny Cueto with his 20th win of the season would have been too easy. No, the Reds had to keep all of that scoring until the end.
Still, Cueto finished the year strong. In his final start, he went 7 innings, allowing 3 runs (1 earned), 6 hits, and 1 walk. He struck out 6. If he’d pitched a scoreless 8th or the offense had woken up before the 9th, he would’ve had the win. Heck, if the defense hadn’t screwed the pooch and allowed so many unearned runs, he would’ve gotten the win. I guess that just shows you how meaningless of a statistic wins can be.
As for that offense, they started the game off by getting on base, but not being able to knock in any runs. Both of the first two innings ended with runners in scoring position. But in the third, Joey Votto was given a pitch he could hit, and hit a double that scored Brandon Phillips. The next batter, Todd Frazier, hit a ground-out to the shortstop that scored Wilson Valdez.
After that, the Reds’ bats were silent until the 9th. Then, Xavier Paul, the very first batter against the Pirates’ closer Joel Hanrahan, hit a pinch-hit home run to right field to tie the game. And instead of being a rally killer, this got the offense going. Eventually.
The next two batters recorded out, but when Ryan Ludwick hit a pinch-hit double, I started feeling that this would turn into a win. With two outs, Zack Cozart was the hero, driving in the go-ahead run with his own double.
Aroldis Chapman pitched the bottom of the 9th for the save. He was a little shaky, but he got the job done. Hopefully, he can get an appearance or two before the playoffs start. I don’t want him rusty.
The Reds next travel to St. Louis to take on the Cardinals. If Cincinnati can sweep, there’s a chance they’d knock the Cardinals out of the playoffs. I’m hoping for that. Bronson Arroyo will go against Jaime Garcia at 8:15pm.

W: Bailey (13-10) L: Burnett (16-9)
In case you missed it yesterday, Homer Bailey pitched a no-hitter against the Pittsburgh Pirates last night.
Ryan Hanigan hugs Homer Bailey after the last out of the no-hitter was recorded.
It’s the first no-hitter in PNC Park history, and it’s the first that a Cincinnati Reds pitcher has thrown since Tom Browning threw his perfect game back on September 16, 1988. Bailey accomplished his feat with 115 pitches. Over the 9 innings, he allowed no runs, no hits, walked one, and struck out 10.
The offense was again not really present. The Reds scored early, in the top of the first, but their bats fell silent after that. Thanks to Bailey’s flirt with flirtation, the 1 run was all they needed.
Phillips started the game off by singling to left. Zack Cozart followed with a single, providing Joey Votto with a rare opportunity to bat with runners on base. So of course, the Pirates walked him. But clean-up hitter Todd Frazier kept the bases-loaded, no-out situation from being a total loss by hitting a sacrifice fly to drive in Phillips.
It was all pitching after that, for both teams. In the end, the Pirates couldn’t score, and the Reds doomed them to their 20th season in a row without a winning record.
The Pirates still have a shot at a .500 record, but they’ll have to win all their remaining games. They’ll send out Kyle McPherson to attempt that, while the Reds will counter with Mike Leake, a man on the bubble of being included on the playoff roster. The game starts at 7:05pm.
Game 142: Pirates 3, Reds 4
Pirates (72-68) 0 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 9 0
Reds (85-57) 0 0 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 4 8 0
W: Simon (3-2) L: van den Hurk (0-1)
“I stunk,” [Ludwick] said. “I stunk the entire game. I felt like I had a thousand chances to win the game. I finally did it on 1,001st. Every time I got up, there were runners in scoring position and less than two outs. I stunk. I’m glad I got the job done in the 14th.”
That was a very, very long game.
In a game that took 5 hours and 22 minutes to play, the Cincinnati Reds finally came away with a win after a grueling 14-inning affair.
The Reds had plenty of chances to win the game, but it took until the bottom of the 14th. Devin Mesoraco lead off the inning with a screaming line drive that my tired eyes were hoping would just clear the wall. It didn’t, but it put the winning run on with no outs. Brandon Phillips reached next when he hit a ball that the catcher fielded. The catcher attempted to throw Mesoraco out at 2nd, but the throw was late. With 2 on and no outs, Chris Heisey showed bunt for the first two pitches before lining out to left field.
That brought Joey Votto to the plate. It would’ve been a nice storybook ending for him to have the walk-off hit on his birthday, but it was after midnight: his birthday was in the past. He struck out on a foul tip. Ryan Ludwick came to the plate next, and after a wild pitch that advanced both runners, he singled the winning run in on a ground ball that the shortstop couldn’t handle. The Reds players and fans could go to sleep, tired but happy.
The game wasn’t without drama. Brandon Phillips was hit by a pitch in the 8th inning. When he tossed the ball back to pitcher Jared Hughes, Hughes shouted something at Phillips and the umpires quickly intervened. Then after the game, Phillips tweeted this.
#RealTalk… Not really surprised by what I heard come outta another player’s mouth tonite but DAMN… Still PISSED bout that $h¡+!! #Racism
— Brandon Phillips (@DatDudeBP) September 11, 2012
If Phillips’ charges of something racist being said are true–and I think that would be easy enough to prove with all the recording equipment on the field–then something should be done. There’s no place for that.
Following that, Aroldis Chapman began pitching the top of the 10th. Like his last appearance, his velocity was way down and he had less control. In his 2/3 of an inning, he struck out 1, but walked 3 before being removed for Sam LeCure. One bad outing isn’t a big deal. But two in a row becomes a trend, and that dip in velocity is especially troubling.
Overall, it was an ugly game that saw both teams leave 13 men on base. But the Reds won and their magic number has dropped to 12, thanks to a St. Louis Cardinals loss.
Mike Leake will try to eat some innings for the tired bullpen tonight when he starts against Kevin Correia. The first pitch is scheduled for 7:10pm EDT.
Reds (65-41) 0 1 0 0 2 0 0 0 - 3 7 0
W: Latos (10-3) L: Rodriguez (7-10) S: Chapman (24)
In the first game of the showdown between the Cincinnati Reds and the Pittsburgh Pirates, Mat Latos dominated from both sides of the plate.
Latos went 7 1/3 innings and shut out the Pirates. He allowed 4 hits, 3 walks, and struck out none. With the shutout assistance from the bullpen–Jonathan Broxton and Aroldis Chapman–Latos picked up his 10th win of the season. He now joins Johnny Cueto as the second starter on the team with wins in the double-digits. Homer Bailey is likely to be next to join them, as he has 9 wins. Bronson Arroyo is a ways away with only 7.
On the offensive side, the Reds took the lead in the 2nd thanks to an inside-the-park home run from Chris Heisey. Latos himself contributed to making things easier for himself by hitting a 2-run home run in the 5th inning. The ball was caught by a Pirates fan who promptly got rid of the ball. It was the first home run of the year for Latos, but the 3rd of his career.
Three runs was more than enough for the Reds’ 65th win. The win increased the Reds’ lead over the Pirates to 4 games and assured Cincinnati of being alone in first no matter what happens in the remaining two games.

Here are several pictures from the game the RHM clan attended on Memorial Day in Pittsburgh at PNC Park. The Cincinnati Reds started their series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and lost 4-1 thanks to a bad outing from Bronson Arroyo and a no-show by the offense.
Looking forward to seeing this guy tomorrow. I miss him from his Indianapolis Indians days.

QEF-affiliate schools receive R77 000 for bursaries
QEFGM 14th June 2019
10 June 2019, Komani, South Africa: Another tranche of bursary money has been released to the Queenstown Education Foundation (QEF) by the Johannesburg-based Education Endowment Fund (EEF), assisting the Foundation to attract and retain exceptional talent to a number of its Komani-based affiliate schools. Before its name change in 2016, Komani was known as Queenstown.
R77 000 in total has been awarded for equal disbursement to seven applicants from different grades who applied for a QEF bursary through a number of QEF’s affiliated schools: Queenstown Girls’ High School, Queen’s College Boys’ High School, Hoërskool Hangklip High School , Laerskool Hangklip and Balmoral Girls’ Primary School. The awarded bursaries of R11 000 each cover a large portion of these learners’ school fees. Each come from disadvantaged backgrounds and holds a record of extra-ordinary academic performance.
The bursary scheme sits among various programmes that QEF, now in its sixth year, employs to systematically transform the Eastern Cape town of Komani, formerly known as Queenstown, into a universally recognised centre of educational excellence. QEF- affiliated schools offer their learners the opportunity to gain excellent education within their own community and upon graduation, these individuals become assets to the community that helped shaped them.
The EEF, a non-profit company, manages and distributes monies raised by, among other things, its fund raising event, the 1965Ride, an 850km cycle tour between Johannesburg and Komani. EEF’s aim is to support, enhance and develop education throughout South Africa, with the Komani / Queenstown region close to its heart.

Religious Toleration & Religious Diversity
Bryan R. Wilson, Ph.D.
Emeritus Fellow
Quite apart from the development of distinct schools within the mainstream tradition, in advanced societies, deliberate and conscious dissent from orthodoxy has also been a common phenomenon. Christians, Jews, and Muslims are divided into the orthodox (of all schools) and dissentient groups which follow a divergent pattern of religious practice, subscribe to deviant beliefs, and create their own separate institutions. Dissent is most conspicuous in contexts in which religious exclusivity prevails: that is to say, in which the individual is required, if adhering to one religion, to renounce allegiance to all others—a pattern of commitment rigorously required in the Christian tradition. As some European governments ceased to prescribe specific forms of religion for their subjects, and as they have, at least formally, reduced in some degree even their discriminatory preferences for one religion above another, the situation in those countries has come more closely to approximate that prevailing in the United States. Thus, a situation designated as “religious pluralism” has come into existence. Yet, the formal equality of religions within a given society—equality, as is often said, before the law—should not conceal the fact that not infrequently discrimination often persists in one respect or another. In England, a variety of laws maintain the superiority of the Church of England, the church established by law, of which the monarch is temporal head. A number of Anglican bishops sit, as of right, in the Upper House of legislature, and episcopal appointments are made by the Prime Minister—among other indications of preferential treatment. In other European countries, various discriminatory arrangements favour one or more traditional churches, over and above other dissenting groups or new religious bodies. There is, generally, freedom of religious practice in Europe, but different religious bodies still experience differential treatment from the state, and have to contend with often hostile mass-media which work to promote public suspicion of whatever is unfamiliar in religion. Such differential treatment and the associated hostility arises at least in part from the persistence of normative commitment of most of those who have traditionally been concerned, as “experts”, with defining religion and specifying its character. There is, in all societies, an inheritance of learned language about religion which bears the normative stamp of religious commitment. Early definitions and descriptions of the essentials of religion frequently used terms borrowed from the religious traditions of those who formulated them. It is readily recognized by social scientists that the use of terms peculiar to one religion must distort the depiction of other religions, and may frequently involve false assumptions about their character and dispositions. Concepts evolved within one cultural and religious tradition will misrepresent the functionally equivalent but formally distinctive elements of religion in another. Instances of such inappropriate usage include references to “the Buddhist church”; “the Muslim priesthood”; or (in reference to the Trinity) “Christian gods”. The very terms “church” and “priesthood” carry powerful specific cultural and structural connotations, and the phenomena to which they are applied are in many respects unlike their functional equivalents in other religious systems. The intellectual, ideological, moral, and organizational attributes which characterize them are specific to the Christian tradition and using these terms must lead to confusion, misrepresentation, and false expectations of other religions, and hence to suspicion and perhaps hostility.

TRUEMONEY Reaches the 1 Million Customer Mark in the Philippines
TrueMoney Philippines recently achieved one of their biggest milestones to date.
In less than a year of operations in the country, the company already reached its 1 million transacting customer mark. TrueMoney is a Fintech brand of Ascend Money, a digital finance venture of the C.P. Group from Thailand, one of the largest diversified conglomerates in Asia, and Ant Financial (Alipay), the payments arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba Group.
Humble Beginnings and Rapid Growth
It wasn’t so long ago when TrueMoney Philippines was just a business concept on a set of PowerPoint slides.
Within the first few months, TrueMoney Philippines grew its workforce from one person to hundreds of employees spread across several regions in the country. The team also launched its core technology system and began offering services on a pilot basis to several partners.
In a few months’ time, it already built what is now one of the largest payment and remittance networks in the country, with over 5,000 TrueMoney Centers.
“Our mission is to provide everyone with ACCESS to affordable and innovative financial services, particularly those who are underbanked and underserved today,” says TrueMoney Philippines CEO Xavier Marzan. “That means being pervasive and going to where these underserved segments are.”
Today, TrueMoney Philippines already provides services such as payment of e-commerce purchases, bills payment, buying of load and credits, and remittance to multiple provinces nationwide, including far flung areas in Albay, Bataan, Benguet, Bohol, Bukidnon, Cagayan de Oro, Camarines Sur, Cavite, Cebu, Davao, Ilocos, Isabela, Laguna, La Union, Metro Manila, Misamis Oriental, Nueva Ecija, Nueva Vizcaya, Pampanga, Pangasinan, Quezon, Rizal, Tarlac, and Zambales and more!
“Where we are today is just the starting point,” Marzan says. “We are constantly growing our network of partner centers to cover more greenfield areas.”
With an empowered footprint of TrueMoney Centers in strategic corridors, TrueMoney introduced its Money Padala (remittance) service a few months ago. For TrueMoney’s Partner Agents, this meant a more diversified portfolio of services and a greater potential of earning higher income. For its customers, it meant convenience and affordability as TrueMoney’s cash-to-cash Money Padala service is one of the lowest sending rates in the country.
While the average rates for domestic remittances today range from 3 percent to more than 10 percent for some providers, TrueMoney rates go as low as only 2 percent of the transaction amount - without any additional charges to the recipient. So say for remittances of P1,000, the total cost of sending is only P20. The recipient also gets the entire amount without any additional charges.
To reinforce its drive to serve the masses, TrueMoney has also worked with talk show host Boy Abunda in promoting the new brand in the Philippine market.
“This is just the first step,” Marzan adds. “In the coming months, we will be launching additional payment partners and expanding our portfolio of services. Given our industry, we need to constantly stay ahead of what the market demands. We need to be at the forefront of innovation to address current gaps in the market with new products as well as to solve difficult challenges in an emerging market like ours with new capabilities.”

"Walang Takot!" The 13th Cinema One Originals Festival Coming this November
Walang Takot. The tagline of the 13th Cinema One Originals translates into ‘fearless’ in English and is more than an apt descriptor for the festival’s programming ethos and its reputation, the way it has, year in and year out, shepherded unique, adventurous cinematic voices into the limelight.
But Walang Takot also exemplifies not only the way the festival is embracing the changing face and attitudes of cinema, from the paradigm shifts when it comes to new ways of watching films to the influx of a diverse new audience, with a deeper sense of cinematic history and new cinematic modes, but also the way it endeavors to ride the changes by closing the gaps, striving for a cinematic experience that allows for the co-existence of old and new platforms and the convergence of old and new audiences, where past and future cinema occupy the same evolutionary continuum, looking back by moving forward.
The two films that make up this year’s documentary section are both examinations of a past with uncanny present-day resonances but from diverse vantage points. Dempster Samarista’s “Bundok Banahaw, Sacred and Profane” is an exploration of the titular mystical mountain, using secret histories and sacred knowledge as a way of piecing together our cultural psyche. Phyllis Grande’s “Haunted: A Visit to the Red House” focuses on the atrocities visited by Japanese soldiers on comfort women during World War 2, a horrendous collective memory that remains eerily relevant and refuses to be forgotten.
There are seven films in the full-length narrative section, including two returning alumni, two debuts and two much-awaited second features. In “Paki,” Dagitab director Giancarlo Abrahan casts veteran character actress Dexter Doria in her very first lead role as woman in her golden years whose children tries to stop her from leaving her husband of sixty years to live the rest of her days out as an old maid. Shamaine Buencamino and Noel Trinidad co-star.
“Nervous Translation,” about a shy girl who discovers a pen that can translate the thoughts and feelings of people when they get nervous, is written and directed by Cinema One alumna Shireen Seno, whose “Big Boy” was part of Cinema One Originals 2013, itself a slightly odd, often magical childhood reverie. Jana Agoncillo and Sid Lucero star.
Richard Somes, of “Yanggaw,” “Ishmael” and “Mariposa” fame, returns to Cinema One for his fourth outing in the festival, with “Historiographika Errata,” an elaborate historical mosaic that attempts to figure out why we are what we are, throwing in the mix a suicidal Rizal, a cross-dressing Bonifacio and the widow who became the first Makapili. The sprawling, ambitious film features Joem Bascon, Alex Medina, Maxine Eigenmann and Nathalie Hart.
For his first outing with Cinema One, “Walang Forever” director Dan Villegas adapts Vincent De Jesus’ much-loved stage musical “Changing Partners,” a bittersweet exploration of relationships told in perspectives of various genders, starring Agot Isidro, Anna Luna, Jojit Lorenzo and Sandino Martin.
Kip Oebanda, fresh off the success of “Bar Boys,” is directing the aswang inversion “Nay,” about a man suffering from a terminal disease who uncovers a dark family secret. Enchong Dee, Sylvia Sanchez and Jameson Blake star.
The two first features this year are Fatrick Tabada and Rae Red’s “Si Chedeng At Si Apple,” a dark comedy where Elizabeth Oropesa and Gloria Diaz play two old girl friends who become accidental criminals and embark on a road trip with a severed head in a fake Louis Vuitton bag, and Joseph Teoxon’s time-jumping “Throwback Today,” in which Carlo Aquino plays a disgruntled young man at the end of his rope who stumbles on an impossible way to rewrite his own history. Annicka Dolonius, Empress Shuck and Allan Paule co-star.
The year’s world cinema highlights also grace this year’s foreign film line-up, a 13 –strong program that includes Robin Campillo’s “Beats Per Minute,” Claire Denis’ “Let The Sun Shine In,” Francois Ozon’s “L’Amant Double,” Ildiko Enyedi’s “On Body And Soul,” Joachim Trier’s “Thelma,” Hirokazu Koreeda’s “The Third Murder,” Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s “Before We Vanish,” Sebastian Leilo’s “A Fantastic Woman,” Amit Masurkar’s “Newton,” Lucrecia Martel’s “Zama, The Safdie Brothers’ Good Time,” Warwick Thornton’s “Sweet Country,” Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me By Your Name,” and the 4K restoration of Steven Spielberg’s science-fiction classic “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”
Among the restored classics to be showcased this year include Marilou Diaz Abaya’s “Moral,” Jeffrey Sonora’s “Asedillo,” Celso Ad Castillo’s “Tag Ulan Tag Araw” and Danny Zialcita’s “Langis At Tubig.” Restored versions Zialcita’s “Karma,” Abaya’s “Karnal” and Lino Brocka’s “Cain at Abel” will also be screened.
Lastly, Sari Dalena’s documentary on Ishmael Bernal, “Ishma,” will screen to coincide with the launch of the new Ishmael Bernal book, “ProBernal Anti Bio,” written by Ishmael Bernal himself with Jorge Ayago and Angela Stuart-Santiago.
The 13th Cinema One Originals runs from November 13-21 at Trinoma, Glorietta, Gateway, UP Cine Adarna, Cinema 76 and Cinematheque with an extended run from November 22-28 at the Power Plant Mall.

Alisah Bonaobra Was Sent Home By Sharon Osbourne At The Judges House Round of X Factor UK
Filipina singer Alisah Bonaobra was sent home by judge and mentor Sharon Osbourne at the judges’ house round on Sunday’s episode of the show. She sang her version of Sam Smith’s hit song Lay Me Down in front of Sharon and her children Jack and Kelly. After her performance, the Osbourne children were both very impressed.
“She can sing!” expressed by Kelly Osbourne.
To which her brother Jack agreed. “That’s the cleanest performance we’ve seen.”
“Every time we’ll hear her sing, she’s been consistent, the only reason I didn’t put her through at six chairs- ‘coz she was out- she was in, was because every song she sang was like Whitney Houston, or a Disney song which you can’t do week after week because it becomes cheese fest.” Sharon said after Alisah’s performance.
Alisah was then asked by host Dermot O’Leary if she thinks she’s done enough and she gave an optimistic response. “Hopefully I’ve done enough because I just gave [it] my all.”
When the decision was made, Sharon brought the news to all the contestants through a one-on-one conversation. While talking to Alisah, Sharon made sure to acknowledge the talent and hard work she had been putting.
“You have the most amazing voice, I know that you really need this and you really want it. But I feel that you’re kind of very one-dimensional, your power ballads, and even though that’s fantastic, I wanna see other sides of you,” Sharon first told Alisah.
“This is a very, very hard decision for me. A very, very hard decision and I didn’t come to it lightly,” Sharon added. “I’m so sorry but I’m gonna be sending you home.”
Alisah just burst out in tears as host Dermot gave her a tight hug.
The X Factor UK airs first and exclusive on RTL CBS Entertainment same day as the UK on Sundays and Mondays at 10:30am with primetime encores Sundays, Mondays and Thursdays at 9:00pm.

The Families Of The "Paris of Negros"
I love genealogy and for the past few years, I have been dabbling in it, trying to make my family tree. My attempt is amateurish and relies more on data gathered from relatives rather than actual authentication from church or government archives. Maybe when I have the time and resources, I could get into it more seriously. My cousin to the nth degree, Ramon Conlu Severino is someone who has decided to make it his life's work. He published in 2009, the first edition of the Ledesma Genealogy Book and it continues to be a work in progress as more and more descendants are interested in knowing their ancestral history. I learned from Ramon's research (source: Francisco Varona "Negros--Its History And People") that most of the families of Old Silay came from Jaro and Molo, the 2 most important towns then in the Province of Iloilo. Among the first were Simeon Ledesma and Juan Hidalgo who arrived in Silay in 1860 and established haciendas at Bagacay. Aside from the Ledesmas, there were the De La Ramas, Jalandonis, Hilados, Severinos, Jaymes, Locsins and in the later years other families followed like the Lopezes, Gamboas, Jisons, Hofileñas. Each of these families who came to Silay carried their own revered genealogical tree and brought with them the culture of Molo and Jaro in terms of fiestas, balls, food, music and literature. It is no wonder therefore that this very social lifestyle earned for Silay the monicker "Paris of Negros". Intermarriages, was common among these families. It was not surprising to see a Ledesma marry another Ledesma for example, or a union to happen between cousins, of course not to an incestuous degree (although there were uncles to niece and vice versa but these were not common). I think the reason for this besides the obvious one (keeping money within the family) is the fact that taking into consideration the dynamics of society at that time, most families move only within their social class and their sons and daughters mingled only among themselves so that there was little chance to meet, much less know other people outside their circle. So who do they marry but someone in their own social class and most probably a relative either up or down the line. Also according to Ramon, the Jaro natives, the Jareños (Ledesma, Lopez, Gamboa, Golez, Jalandoni, Javellana, Javelona, Jayme, Severino, Hilado, Benedicto, Hechanova, Hofileña, Jereza, Montinola) marry their fellow Jareños while the Molo natives, the Moleños (Locsin, Lacson, Araneta, de la Rama, Yulo, Yusay, Unson, Consing, Maravilla, Montelibano, Regalado, Conlu, Tionko, Tinsay) marry their fellow Moleños. There is only a small percentage wherein a Jaro native marry a Molo native. When they migrated to Silay, a "merger" of families happened. This is probably how my great-grandmother who was a Locsin-Araneta from Molo happened to marry my great-grandfather, a Del Rosario-Ledesma from Jaro. Most if not all of the heritage and ancestral houses of the city are still owned by these families but many are no longer occupied by them. A lot of their descendants except for those of us who stayed, either opted to build houses in Bacolod or Metro Manila. Recently however, I have noticed that a few are returning to live in Silay either to take care of the family farm, retire or just to lead a more laid back lifestyle.
By the mid-80's, the rise of the middle class as well as the many OFW's and Expats married to Filipinas have also brought about new families to Silay society. People from other places in the country have also settled in Silay, perhaps attracted by the old world feel, country-like living (but with urban amenities) that is forever lost in big cities like Manila and Cebu. Silay demographics is surely changing, but the old families of Silay and their ancestral houses will forever be part of its past and the present glory.

longchamp fr May 29, 2014 at 12:23 AM
Cadogan Place, with its regalia of stucco swags and bows, is the kind of London square where nothing could go wrong. That's the feeling that permeates Emilia Wickstead's atelier, which occupies the corner of the square adjoining Pont Street, SW1. Pushing open the gleaming door, I am met by three women: one in Neapolitan ice-cream pink, one in buttercup yellow, and one in longchamp outlet paintbox blue. All are wearing pointed Manolos. "Can I get you some sparkling water?" asks Pink, as Yellow takes my jacket. This is how I imagine a salon in Paris might feel, circa 1956. That's exactly what I'm going for, says Wickstead, completing the scene in a pistachio ensemble of her own design. "I've always been inspired by old-world couture, the Dior salon feeling, rather than girls just standing there watching you shop. I like to think it's a personal place." The emphasis on a salon, rather than a shop, is key.
Wickstead makes clothes for women who have tennis lessons on a Wednesday morning and poached salmon for lunch. Among her fans are the Duchess of Cambridge, who wore a marine blue, pleated dress by the New Zealand-born designer on her recent Antipodean tour, and longchamp outlet store Samantha Cameron, as well as scores of smart west London ladies. They are used to old-fashioned service and elegant clothes. Wickstead's made-to-measure, classically feminine designs - and steady supply of San Pellegrino - fit the bill.
The autumn/winter 2014 collection, however, was a departure from the gelato pastels and prim styling we've come to associate with Wickstead. The show, held in London in February, was all python, leather, metallics and black. What inspired her new direction? "In previous seasons I think I had been pigeonholed," she says carefully. "And yes, the fabrics and textures were longchamp outlet online different. But that silhouette was still true to Emilia Wickstead." She thinks for a moment. "Maybe I've just become a bit cooler?" She erupts into giggles. Wickstead has never been afraid to experiment. As a teenager growing up in New Zealand she spent most of her time rifling through second-hand stores, buying up bowling shirts and patterned nightgowns. "Once, four friends and I cut all our hair off, like boys," she says. "A couple of them cried afterwards, but I thought we looked really good."

Canada--Accused priest is allegedly “cleared” by police; Victims respond
For immediate release: Monday, Dec. 5, 2016
Statement by David Clohessy of St. Louis, Director of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests (314 566 9790, 314 645 5915 home, davidgclohessy@gmail.com)
We are disappointed but not surprised that a criminal investigation into an accused predator priest has ended without formal charges. We doubt, however, that he has “convinced police he’s innocent.” (We suspect police simply lack adequate proof to move forward, which of course does NOT mean the accused is innocent.)
And we’re highly skeptical of Catholic officials that they’ll do some kind of “internal investigation” into the cleric. In our experience, such probes are usually “whitewashes” done largely for public relations purposes.
http://www.mykawartha.com/news-story/7003292-peterborough-priest-cleared-of-allegations-of-sexual-misconduct-diocese/
“Fr. Bill Moloney (of Immaculate Conception Church) had been removed from his post in early November after a complaint was filed to Haliburton OPP about an incident at Camp Northern Lights, where he is the director,” according to Peterborough This Week.
The paper also reported that the priest “had convinced police he was innocent of allegations of sexual misconduct.” Again, we’re highly suspicion of this claim. We urge police to correct this if in fact it leaves a false impression.
We also urge Fr. Moloney’s supervisors to be more forthcoming about these allegations and aggre3ssively seek out others – using church websites, parish bulletins and pulpit announcements - who may have information or suspicions about this priest or other church staff.
Shame on Deirdre Thomas, spokesperson for the Peterborough diocese for using vague, minimizing mischaracterizations. She called the child sex abuse report and the police investigation "matters that have arisen recently." If you can’t call something what it is, how can you possibly investigate or prevent it?
Church “investigations” into alleged child sex crimes are inherently problematic.
Just today, in New Jersey, it’s been revealed that an abuse report against a priest 13 years ago had been kept quiet. The priest kept working. And a few weeks ago, he was arrested on child pornography charges.
http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/2016/12/priest_in_child_porn_case_had_prior_sex_abuse_alle.html
(He’s Fr. Kevin Gugliotta.)
Just last week in Kentucky, a priest who’d been purportedly “cleared” by his Catholic supervisors, and put back on the job, was found guilty of child sex crimes by a jury.
http://www.dailyprogress.com/louisville-priest-who-ran-summer-camp-faces-sex-abuse-trial/article_ed423502-f9b4-55e4-9f8e-05d8f0427b7e.html
http://www.bishopaccountability.org/assign/Hemmerle_R_Joseph.htm
(He’s Fr. R. Joseph Hemmerle.)
We applaud the alleged victim for reporting and law enforcement for investigating the case.
Child sex abuse cases are very hard. They’re even harder when defendants are well-educated priests backed by powerful church officials. It takes real courage, by a number of people, to protect kids and achieve justice in these tough cases.
Instead of reporting known or suspected crimes or cover ups to church figures, we urge every single person who saw, suspected or suffered child sex crimes and cover ups in, schools, churches or institutions – especially Catholic ones – to protect kids by calling police, get help by calling therapists, expose wrongdoers by calling attorneys, and be comforted by calling support groups like ours. This is how kids will be safer, adults will recover, criminals will be prosecuted, cover ups will be deterred and the truth will surface.
(SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, is the world’s oldest and largest support group for clergy abuse victims. SNAP was founded in 1988 and has more than 20,000 members. Despite the word “priest” in our title, we have members who were molested by religious figures of all denominations, including nuns, rabbis, bishops, and Protestant ministers. Our website is SNAPnetwork.org)

Posted by Bookworm Labels: Little Cloud and Lady Wind
Little Cloud drifts in the sky with the other clouds and has a life that any cloud would want. But Little Cloud isn't happy. She doesn't want to make thunder and rain like the other clouds. The earth below is so beautiful -- purple mountains, scarves of snow, silver-topped waves. She wants to live and play on the earth and be on her own.
How will Little Cloud ever come to understand that everything has its special place in the world, most especially her?
Inspired by the favorite Aesop story "The Bundle of Sticks," Toni Morrison and Slade Morrison tell a gentle and loving tale that illustrates that the whole is far mightier than any single part.

Jacob Vaark is an Anglo-Dutch trader and adventurer, with a small holding in the harsh North. Despite his distaste for dealing in âflesh,â he takes a small slave girl in part payment for a bad debt from a plantation owner in Catholic Maryland. This is Florens, who can read and write and might be useful on his farm. Rejected by her mother, Florens looks for love, first from Lina, an older servant woman at her new master's house, and later from the handsome blacksmith, an African, never enslaved, who comes riding into their lives.A Mercy reveals what lies beneath the surface of slavery. But at its heart, like Beloved, it is the ambivalent, disturbing story of a mother and a daughter-a mother who casts off her daughter in order to save her, and a daughter who may never exorcise that abandonment.

What Moves at the Margin
Posted by Bookworm Labels: What Moves at the Margin
What Moves at the Margin collects three decades of Toni Morrison's writings about her work, her life, literature, and American society. The works included in this volume range from 1971, when Morrison (b. 1931) was a new editor at Random House and a beginning novelist, to 2002 when she was a professor at Princeton University and Nobel Laureate. Even in the early days of her career, in between editing other writers, writing her own novels, and raising two children, she found time to speak out on subjects that mattered to her. From the reviews and essays written for major publications to her moving tributes to other writers to the commanding acceptance speeches for major literary awards, Morrison has consistently engaged as a writer outside the margins of her fiction. These works provide a unique glimpse into Morrison's viewpoint as an observer of the world, the arts, and the changing landscape of American culture.
The first section of the book, "Family and History," includes Morrison's writings about her family, Black women, Black history, and her own works. The second section, "Writers and Writing," offers her assessments of writers she admires and books she reviewed, edited at Random House, or gave a special affirmation to with a foreword or an introduction. The final section, "Politics and Society," includes essays and speeches where Morrison addresses issues in American society and the role of language and literature in the national culture.
Among other pieces, this collection includes a reflection on 9/11, reviews of such seminal books by Black writers as Albert Murray's South to a Very Old Place and Gayl Jones's Corregidora, an essay on teaching moral values in the university, a eulogy for James Baldwin, and Morrison's Nobel lecture. Taken together, What Moves at the Margin documents the response to our time by one of American literature's most thoughtful and eloquent writers.
Toni Morrison is the Robert F. Goheen Professor Emerita at the Center for Creative and Performing Arts at Princeton University and is the author of Sula, Song of Solomon, Beloved, Paradise, and other novels. She has received the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Pulitzer Prize, and the 1993 Nobel Prize in Literature. Carolyn C. Denard is the author of scholarly essays on Toni Morrison and the forthcoming Cambridge Introduction to Toni Morrison. She is Associate Dean of the College at Brown University and founder of the Toni Morrison Society.
Title: What Moves at the Margin: Selected Nonfiction
Toni Morrison (born Chloe Anthony Wofford on February 18, 1931) is a Nobel Prize and Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, editor, and professor. Her novels are known for their epic themes, vivid dialogue, and richly detailed characters.

3D Metro Subway
This is a train driving simulation in the subway. You are in the cabin of the locomotive in front of the control panel and you drive the train. Your job is to safely take the train to the next station, unload and load passengers and safely continue the ride. Unlike classic games with trains this is quite realistic simulation and that is why some parts of the game are somewhat boring just like the real train ride gets sometimes. The game looks very much like an unfinished demo, but to be honest it is not any worst than other simulations, which are not so commonly made in Flash.

Railway Panic - Railroad Building Puzzle
Game Impressions
There are no negative points if you miss the station. We went through three station without stopping and yet we have managed to get to the next level. That sucks a little. By the way, the idea is to enter the station, adjust the speed and stop the train just before the tunnel entrance in front of the red light. On your control panel you will see the X light up. When you press the 'X' key on the keyboard, all doors open and passengers start to get out and in the train. You can't see that because you are in the control boot. Getting off and on the train of the passengers lasts for about 17 seconds and you do practically nothing while that is happening, because the doors close automatically.
Traffic Signs and Speed Limit
You have to pay attention on traffic signs and you must specially follow the speed limits. Just before curves, track separation or some track maintenance you usually have to slow down to 30mph. While we tested the game we tried to move through those segments of the railroad in full speed of 100mph and the train simply slipped out of the tracks and rolled over. At that point you have no choice but to reload the game and start over.
The game has several levels but they exist only formally, because nothing significantly changes. There is only an announcement at one point saying that you have made it to the next level.
Controls are very well labelled and you can see them at all times at the top of the screen: W - speed up, S - reverse, P - pause, Space - brakes, X - to open the doors (works only when in station).
Help!! Can't speed up? - Bugs!
W button sometimes simply doesn't work, which can be very annoying. We also noticed that when you press 'caps lock' button, controls start working again. This happens every time when the focus is lost from the main screen for any reason whatsoever.
It might be more interesting if we could see the passengers get off and on the train and ticket checking controller. Like this, without all that, the station and the entire ride seams a bit spooky and empty.
Movement to the main menu is a bit leggy.
A serious lack of some options or settings. This way the game looks like an unfinished demo.
Some segments are too long and too boring to drive.

Interview: Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson on Immersion box sets
November 3, 2011 by Paul Sinclairtags: Pink Floyd, Super Deluxe Edition, Why Pink Floyd?
**Update 13 November 2011**
Andy Jackson got in touch again recently, wanting to clarify the common use of the phrase ‘digitally remastered’ when it comes to the new Pink Floyd reissues.
Andy Jackson: On Amazon and I suspect everywhere, it says of the new mastering of the existing albums, “digitally remastered”. It was all distinctly analogue remastered, neither James [Guthrie] or myself would dream of doing it any other way.
Even quite simple stuff that most people would do in the digital domain, like sample rate conversion, we did analogue.
In general there are two different ways of going about mastering. Analogue domain or digital domain. Essentially the reason for mastering is a final stage of any EQing, compression & level matching that needs doing. There are excellent hardware both analogue & digital, to do this. It’s really a matter of personal preference which. Both James and I fall firmly in the analogue camp. Even for ‘simple’ things like sample rate conversion, both James and I will do it analogue, having listened to both.
A good example is the ‘concert screen films’. We needed to have that as a 48khz sample rate for DVD. James had given me 96khz masters, as per the blu-ray. Damon [Iddins assistant engineer] and I made two versions, one was digitally sample rate converted in our Sadie workstation and the other was re-recorded analogue domain between two workstations (one playing the 96kHz original, the other recording it at 48kHz). We then took it in turns to listen to both, not knowing which was which. We both chose the analogue version, it was miles better
SDE: Are Wish You Were Here and Dark Side of the Moon sourced from a direct DSD transfer of the master tape or was it converted from hi-rez PCM ?
AJ: I don’t specifically know on these as it was James, but in general they are always taken from whatever was the mix master, in terms of the stereos of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here it would have been the original 1/4″ tapes. James surrounds were mixed to hi sample rate PCM, and then a analogue domain mastering pass was done to which ever format (DSD or PCM) was appropriate for the release format.
SDE: Are the Quad mixes of Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were Here sourced from DSD or were those tape-to-PCM as they never appeared on the SACDs?
AJ: The analogue tape masters were transferred to PCM by abbey road (who hold the tapes). I don’t know if James did a extra pass for EQing
SDE: Regarding Have A Cigar (Alternate Version): There is virtually no information on the credits about this. Obviously Roger singing, but what other bits of performance are different? Is it a different take, a Beatles Anthology-style creation from mixing together take 5 of this and take 7 of that etc.
AJ: It is just an earlier rough mix of work in progress on the same version. It’s actually Roger and David singing in octaves. I got this as a stereo mix, so apart from what I can pick out I’m none the wiser as to what is different. Obviously a different guitar at the end.
SDE: Regarding Wish You Were Here (With Stéphane Grapelli) – Same question as above. Apart from the fiddle, what is different? Lots of the music sounds like a different take but David’s vocal sounds much like the master version…?
AJ: Same as above, it’s a stereo of work in progress, it’s substantially the same version, a few different mix things, but it would have been a quick run-off of where they were, rather than a full mix (which would be a day or two’s work)
Thanks to Andy for what is hopefully interesting information for all you audiophiles out there. Below is the original interview.
Pink Floyd engineer Andy Jackson talks about the challenges of mixing Pink Floyd live at Wembley 1974, Blu-ray vs SACD and The Wall 5.1
Andy Jackson is a Grammy-nominated recording engineer whose association with Pink Floyd goes back to the very early 1980s. He engineered Pink Floyd’s A Momentary Lapse of Reason, The Division Bell and co-engineered The Final Cut with James Guthrie. He was also their concert sound engineer on the band’s 1994 Division Bell tour. In addition he has been closely involved with band members’ solo projects including engineering Roger Waters’ first full length solo album The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking and multiple projects with Pink Floyd guitarist David Gilmour, including engineering his 1984 solo album About Face and the On an Island album from 2006.
He has recently been responsible for the audio mixing and mastering of much of the bonus material on both The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion box set (out now) and the Wish You Were Here Immersion box set which is due out on Monday 7th November. These bonus tracks included 13 live tracks from Wembley in 1974. We caught up with Andy recently and asked him about the challenges involved in getting this material into shape.
superdeluxeedition: You have spoken about the ‘missing’ kick drum on the live Wembley recording of The Dark Side of the Moon. Apart from fixing that, what was the biggest challenge in terms of getting this audio recording into shape for inclusion on the Immersion box?
Andy Jackson: Spill was a major problem. There was a lot of everything on the vocals, but this is only to be expected with a gig recording. What was not expected was the amount of guitar on the drums, and most problematically, the bass and keyboard stacks were right next to each other and the spill between them was dreadful. On the final mix you can hear it on the bass, the imaging is rather vague. It should be in the middle, but gets pulled over to the right where I’d placed Rick’s keyboards. It actually wanders around a bit, the louder I had the keyboards, the more it drifts right.
SDE: Drums apart, were any bits of new performance ‘flown in’ to this live recording at any point to correct a mistake, for instance?
AJ: We used two different nights recording for the album. Essentially it splits as ‘side one’ and ‘side two’, we switch nights at Money. I did occasionally use bits & pieces from the other night for fixes, vocals mostly. If you accept that in order to make a compelling record, it needs to be free from things that will break the spell too much, and a sour note would do. With current technology we can re-pitch things, but the spill problem meant that if we did, you’d hear the re-pitched spill on the vocal, and that spill would be out of tune. Consequently, it was better to use the other night as an insert. The only addition was on the intro of Time where we added in the heartbeat. They hadn’t played it on the night, and it is so much part of the fundamental rhythm I thought it was a liberty that was justified. I mixed it quite a bit quieter than the balance on the original album, enough to do the job but not drawing attention to itself.
SDE: The concert in the box is actually from two nights – could you be more specific in terms of which songs were from which nights?
AJ: Side one was from the 16th [November 1974], side two the 15th.
SDE: The “early mix” on disc 6 of The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion box is a fascinating listen. Is this mix presented exactly as it was when the band took it home over Christmas 1972? i.e. have any tweaks or enhancements been applied?
AJ: Only a pass for mastering. Played the original 1/4″ tapes into my workstation via my mastering equaliser, giving it a tweak on the way. This is normal procedure for any record. Otherwise it’s exactly the same.
SDE: In your opinion is the hi-res Blu-ray stereo / 5.1 2011 remaster of The Dark Side of the Moon now the definitive audiophile version of the album? Is there any reason to hold on to the 2003 SACD?
AJ: Hi-def PCM & DSD sound different, you pays your money you takes your choice on that, I like DSD, very analogue sounding. I believe that the BD is not new mastering, it is derived from the same source as the SACD [this is the case].
SDE: What has been your favourite or most satisfying aspect of working on the audio for the Immersion Box release of The Dark Side of the Moon
AJ: Oddly I’m going to say it was the early versions of Sheep and Dogs that are on Wish You Were Here [Immersion and Experience editions], not The Dark Side of the Moon. I loved seeing the writing process of those revealed. The best single moment was finding the tape that gives us the Easter Egg of Roger the Hat [Pink Floyd roadie whose spoken voice is heard on On The Run]. I’d hoped that the tapes of the interviews would turn up, but it seems to be gone. Fortunately Nick had taken a copy of Roger the Hat’s one at the time, as it is so funny.
SDE: Do you know any more about The Wall Immersion Box and lack of 5.1 surround?
AJ: James [Guthrie] hasn’t done it is the simple answer. It is on a possible agenda, but it’d take a long time to do, and just wouldn’t fit in the schedule. Shame really. We did do a surround of it for the movie, but firstly that wouldn’t translate very well outside the cinema and it wasn’t all the songs, due to the differing versions in the film [Geldof’s versions etc].
The Dark Side of the Moon Immersion box set is out now.
Order this box: here [UK] here [US]
Wish You Were Here Immersion box set is out on Monday 7th November (8th in the US). Pre-order this box: from the UK from the US

Pingback:Tim Bowness / Abandoned Dancehall Dreams | superdeluxeedition
Andy Jackson is wrong – the versions of “Have a Cigar” and “Wish You Were Here” on Disc 2 are completely different takes. Especially WYWH which is longer than the album version. Just to clarify this.
cheap e-cigs says:
I simply including the helpful tips people give to your content. We’ll take a note of your blog post as well as examination one more time right here often. I am fairly convinced I am shared with numerous fresh stuff suitable below! Have fun for one more!
Any plans to release any of these high-def editions for download on HDTracks.com?
Ryan Talbot says:
Just an update:
My petition page for the Wall in 5.1 surround on Facebook has now reached over 500 fans! Thanks to everyone who has liked the page so far and to Paul for posting about it on this site a few months ago!

TED94 says:
Can you please ask Andy Jackson, or anyone EMI and/or Pink Floyd related : why is there 3 loud clicks on the european bluray of the WYWH box ?
Is it a mastering error ? I mean this is digital, how the factory could mess with the master ?
Christopher Bush says:
Oh, another question or two.
Sony 24 bit remaster of WYWH versus other version. Opinions?
Obviously, sound “quality” can be measurable (if a standard for frequency, etc.) is determined to be standard, but there is always a subjective component. That said, I hear terms likePCD, DSD, “blue ray” and “surround sound” bandied about, with no concise description of what each truly has to offer and what combination of formats and mastering techniques have yielded the “best” or “definitive” versions. I’d love for someone to take the time to do this. Also, another issue I’d like settled is the MFSL versus the 2011 reissues, i.e., What is the consensus on which constitutes the better version? Hey, I’m just a dumb guy with a doctorate and this audio talk make me feel a bit dimwitted. ;-) Help me out.
Jeff Davies says:
I simple have to echo Roger, “It’s a big mistake to not have released a separate SKU of these sets containing JUST the Blu-ray disc for those that also wanted the quad mix but not everything else.” Only the 1% can afford these gift sets, and I only want the blu-ray. The companies could sell a lot more of these titles if they were affordable. These aren’t handmade. Costs go down when you press more and sell more.
Having said that… I just reviewed the Q8 and SQ and there is no synthesizer coda. Care to provide a catalog number for that pressing?
Answering Phil… that’s easy. All mixes are synced on the disc for switching audio live. To include that would make them out of sync.
Phil Cohen says:
Please ask Andy Jackson why the 48 second synthesizer coda which follows the laughter at the ending of “Welcome to The Machine” EXCLUSIVELY ON THE QUADRAPHONIC VERSION(as released in the 1970’s), is omitted when the quadraphonic version is presented on the “Wish You Were Here” Immersion box.
Mark / Julie / Adam > Andy got in touch out of the blue and I put some of your questions about PCM/ DSD to him plus a few others, and updated the post here accordingly. Hope this is of interest! Paul
Julie Skaggs says:
Thanks for getting the clarification from Andy, it’s much appreciated.
Roger Parker says:
Personally I think the 24/96 4.0 PCM mix is the definitive version of DSOTM. It was previously the SACD for me because the “leaked” 4.1 version of the quad mix was clearly lacking on production and/or mastering, finally having it mastered to 24/96 properly is a revelation.
I look forward to getting the SACD of Wish You Were Here, can’t afford the immersion set. I think it’s a big mistake to not have released a separate SKU of these sets containing JUST the Blu-ray disc for those that also wanted the quad mix but not everything else.
I’ll believe that The Wall will see SACD release when it arrives. If it’s substantially behind the scheduled Wall Immersion set that I can’t see why there wouldn’t be a standalone Blu-ray release and that should negate the reasons for an SACD.
In each case I would choose the SACD if it was analogue directly to DSD, but if there is any mastering or production done digitally in the PCM realm then the SACD is redundant imo.
Following on from Mark’s question to Julie, I was wondering also if the Quad mixes of Dark Side and WYWH are sourced from DSD or if those were tape to PCM as they never appeared on the SACDs?
Kurt says:
Cool interview. Definitely primed for more Pink Floyd. Is there any word on when we will know if more experience or immersion editions are going to be made for other albums? Are they going to wait until after the wall immersion/experience sets start selling or should we know before then?
The later I think. If The Wall and the other two don’t meet sales expectations then I think we can clearly forget about any more immersions, but if they do well then we might.
I wouldn’t rule out some format which is in between experience and immersion in the future. a 2CD+DVD etc.
I very much enjoyed this article. It was a nice surprise ! I have been going to this site and your Facebook page many times a day in anticipation of reading your review of “WYWH Immersion Box Set”. I loved the fact that you asked Andy ” In your opinion is the hi-res Blu-ray stereo / 5.1 2011 remaster of The Dark Side of the Moon now the definitive audiophile version of the album? Is there any reason to hold on to the 2003 SACD?”. His answer wasn’t as clear as I’d would have liked to have been. I get that they come from the same source but what one did he like better ? The sound of the Blu-Ray (Hi-Def PCM) or the SACD (DSD) ?
I have two more questions. If you get the chance to talk to Andy again, I would like to know if they ever listen to old CD version of DSOTM ( Mobile Fidelity version) or the much coveted Japanese version of WYWH 35DP-4 and compare there work to other masters ?
My last question pertains to an article I read on cnet.com called “Is it too loud?” In this they refer to Pink Floyd 2003 cd remaster. The quote “Atkinson also showed the waveform of Pink Floyd’s remastered “Money” from 2003, and how the remastered version crushed the original dynamics of the tune recorded 30 years earlier. You might ask why would the engineers do that, why make it sound worse? To make it loud all the time.”
I would love to hear what James and Andy’s views are on the “loudness wars”.
Thank You so much !
Hi Mark thanks for your comments. The review of WYWH will hopefully be up before Monday 7th when it comes out in the UK!
I think Andy was hinting that DSD (SACD) is his preferred format but as you say he wasn’t categorical.
I did actually ask Andy about the so-called ‘loudness wars’ in the summer when I saw him at David Gilmour’s Astoria boat house and his answer was a plain and simple ‘we don’t do that’.
I haven’t really heard the 2003 red book version of DSOTM, since I always play the SACD and we do of course have the Blu-ray also, now.
As sometimes these things are a case of knowing the right person to ask, I attended the WYWH SACD event in October and James Guthrie (who was in attendance on the 14th) commented to several people that he does desire to mix The Wall in 5.1, but as Andy points out, the schedule will not allow for its inclusion on the Immersion set. But all this supports the exchange you and I had in August regarding why it wasn’t going to be. The organization prefers DSD, and any 5.1 mix is going to be performed for that format first and foremost and it will take months to accomplish.
Here’s my article about the event:
http://www.pinkfloydz.com/wywhsacd.htm
Julie, when you say “The organization prefers DSD” to whom are you referring to ? Is Pink Floyd, EMI, Acoustic Sounds,or James Guthrie-Andy Jackson?
By “organization” I mean PF, as specifically directed by their archival engineer, which is one of James’ primary responsibilities. James has officially endorsed DSD (his endorsement graces the cover of the Sonoma DSD Pure brochure, in fact) and every multichannel release he would be potentially involved with would originate with a mix for DSD. PCM would likely follow, given the market demand, as we have seen with the Immersion sets, but a release for SACD *is* in fact, a requirement.
Politically, of course, I can see why Andy didn’t comment on what was “better,” only that his preference was for DSD.
Julie, do you know if WYWH and DSOTM is sourced from a direct DSD transfer of the master tape or if it was converted from hi-rez PCM ? Also, why wouldn’t EMI want to publish the SACD instead of handing it to Analog Productions? Is this an indication that EMI wants nothing to do with SACD ?
And, thank you to You and Paul for your in-depth and detailed answers.
Thank You, again !
Yes pretty much; Sony lost faith in the format due to regime change and this carried down the chain to the other Big Three who basically said: audiophile will not sell, or sell enough to justify any interest in it. There were a number of factors at work but that was the largest obstacle as I understand it.
Your first question: are you asking about the 96/24 version on the Blu-ray? Those versions, I believe, were sourced from DSD.

Learning in leaps and bounds
Sensory Path helps students ‘focus on the academic’
by Suzanne Popadin | May 2, 2019 New York Teacher issue
Jonathan FickiesHands and feet and a bear walk, oh my!
Head down and eyes on the floor, the 3rd-grader wouldn’t say why he likes the Sensory Path at PS 9 on Staten Island. Even gentle prompting by a classmate didn’t draw a response.
But as he planted his feet firmly at the start of the pathway and was about to begin hopping and skipping and leapfrogging, his eyes gleamed with confidence. “I got this!” he said.
Jonathan FickiesSensory Path committee members are (from left) Stephen Caifa, paraprofessional; Elvira Kacaj, physical therapist; Gina-Marie Principe, speech therapist; Jennifer Casais, occupational therapist; Deanna Marco, founding principal; Joseph Howley, custodian; Caterina DiMaggio, school counselor; Lisa Bonello, assistant principal; Lai Law, occupational therapist; Jessica Arnone, speech therapist; Karin Molinelli, teacher and chapter leader; and Gabrielle DiGiovanni, speech therapist.
“We’ve definitely seen an increase in attending and focusing because of the Sensory Path,” said speech therapist Gina-Marie Principe.
The transformation of a section of the first-floor hallway at the Concord school took place in December: Think giant, colorful stickers and prompts placed on the floor and wall to form a winding path.
While appropriate and helpful for all students, the pathway is particularly beneficial to students who may need a break and redirection, for reasons ranging from stress or frustration to sensory processing disorders such as autism. PS 9 offers two programs for children on the autism spectrum: the ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) Nest program and the Horizon program.
The types of movements incorporated into the path help get “their bodies ready to focus on the academic,” said Principe.
Jonathan FickiesFrog leaps help a student gain awareness of her body in space. • Wall pushups increase strength.
“Before something really structured in class, or if they have a writing assessment for 45 minutes, or if they need to sit down and read, there’s a difference if they come here to the pathway and then go do their work,” said speech therapist Jessica Arnone.
Likewise, after the sometimes frantic pace of recess, the path also can help settle them down.
“One of my students has a break every day after recess before she goes back upstairs,” said occupational therapist Lai Law. “Running around, she gets disorganized, so this is to regulate or calm herself.”
Created by a special education teacher in Mississippi, the pathway utilizes a series of movements to decrease students’sensory-seeking behaviors while increasing cognition and retention of new information.
PS 9 could have made its own path, with arrows and shapes made of tape, but opted for the more professional version, customized and installed by Holly Clay, the teacher who invented the concept.
Jonathan FickiesWall pushups increase strength.
“This pathway is unique to our school,” said Arnone. “We formed a committee to work with the physical and occupational therapists to include specific movements the students learn in the building, the school’s vision and mission as an arts school and the school colors.”
Much of the staff has been at PS 9 since it opened in 2013 with only prekindergarten and kindergarten classes. Now, in its first full-enrollment year, PS 9 has 330 students in pre-K through 5th grade. In such a small school, staff members know the students well and wanted to meet their individual needs.
Our team “went above and beyond to make this sensory path possible,” said Chapter Leader Karin Molinelli, who teaches kindergarten in the NEST program. “Everyone in our school does an amazing job to help each student grow academically and socially.”
The collaborative effort even included the custodian. “He also had questions,” Principe said. “How do I clean it? How do I maintain it? He has protocols and regulations to follow as well.”
Because PS 9 integrates the arts into all subjects and activities, the pathway includes musical notes, a keyboard and ballet positions.
The ballet positions initially chosen by Clay were more “classic ballet movements for an adult learning ballet,” said physical therapist Elvira Kacaj. “These are modified to be developmentally appropriate for a child and are positions the children learn in their dance program.”
Jonathan FickiesThe path is a delicate balance of learning and fun.
Professional development in how to use the path was provided for the entire staff. “We had them all try it out,” Arnone said. The PD included information about the benefits of the pathway and situations when it might be helpful.
Every movement on the path has a purpose. Students work on balance and use both sides of their bodies through hopping. They learn motor planning by putting their bodies in certain ballet positions. They build up their strength with weight-bearing activities such as wall pushups, and they gain an awareness of their bodies in space through leapfrogging.
Even parents are excited. “Sometimes I find them at pickup trying to figure out what it is and doing it themselves,” Principe said.
And the students love it: It’s fun, it’s calming, it’s an energy-booster, it makes them feel better, it helps them focus and it’s exercise, they explained.
“When I get frustrated,” said one 2nd-grader, “I usually just stretch my shirt out and chew on it. But I like the Sensory Path because it helps me calm down after I’m really, really frustrated. It makes me get out of my fidgetiness.”

Posted on July 1, 2019 by Robert Hernandez
When long-time IU Health employee Ashley Cain adopted two children, her co-workers surrounded her with support.
They always knew they wanted children. But five years into their marriage Ashley and Andrew Cain learned they needed to rethink the way they would start a family of their own.
“I’ve always had a pull to adopt and then when I talked to a Department of Child Services worker, I knew it was the right choice,” said Ashley Cain, who has worked at IU Health for 11 years. She asked her husband out on their first date to Starbucks and they will be married 11 years in August.
Once they made the decision to become foster parents they got their first phone call for placement hours after receiving their license in March 2017. A month later a boy named Elijah and a girl named Mariah entered their home and forever changed their lives.
At the time, Ashley was working in IU Health Homecare and her co-workers organized a baby shower to help the couple get ready for the new arrivals.
“I was blessed with cribs, beds, linens, just about everything we needed to welcome the kids into our home,” said Ashley. Coworkers donated other items that they no longer needed.
Fast-forward two years – Ashley is working as an account coordinator for Commercial Health Plans when she and Andrew complete the adoption of the children. Again, her IU Health coworkers offered their support.
“Ashley is a coworker but she’s also a friend. We work together 40 hours a week but we also talk on weekends and evenings,” said Kelly Estridge, who organized a surprise adoption celebration with other coworkers. “Her situation intrigued me because I’ve never known anyone going through the adoption process. It was a long emotional journey for Ashley and her husband and I am glad I was there to offer support.” Estridge, along with co-worker Katelyn Williams were both in the courtroom during the adoption proceedings.
On June 3, 2019 Elijah, 4 and Mariah, 3, legally became part of the Cain family. In addition to coworkers, there were more than 40 people in the court chambers.
“The judge walked in and said ‘whoa.’ We filled up the whole lobby of the third floor at the Hamilton County Courthouse,” said Cain. The two newest additions to the family are among 13 grandchildren on Ashley’s side of the family and six on her husband’s side.
Both children have visited Cain’s coworkers at IU Health and are getting familiar with their extended family.
“Mariah is a spitfire. She’s fun. She loves to dance and do anything to make you laugh,” said Cain. “Elijah is talkative. He’s reserved but likes the attention,” said Estridge.
“I can’t say enough about the support of my IU Health coworkers. They’ve been like family,” said Cain. She added that she and her husband utilized IU Health’s adoption assistance to help pay legal fees.
“Being a foster parent is such a rewarding experience – not just for you but also for the child. I’ve also seen how it has touched the lives of others. I’ve received so much support on the job and have seen how being involved in the lives of coworkers builds morale and teamwork,” said Cain. As she was leaving her office with leftover cake from the celebration, she met another IU Health team member who asked about the party. When she mentioned the word “adoption” she learned that he, too was an adoptive parent. It struck up an instant conversation.
As a special gift from her staff, Cain received a photo session for her new family.
“Up until the adoption I wasn’t able to show any pictures of the kids. Now, we’re all about that,” said Cain. “We’re heading to Myrtle Beach in a couple months for a family vacation where the kids will see the ocean for the first time. I imagine there will be lots of pictures.”

M.J.M. Lafir – World Billiards Champion 1973
March 8, 2017 March 23, 2017 Sri Lanka Muslims 0 Comments
The unique success of Muhammad Junaid Muhammad Lafir in winning the World Amateur Billiards Championship in Bombay, in November-December 1973, being victorious against all his opponents and also scoring the highest break of 859, is an achievement without parallel in the annals of Sport in Sri Lanka.
Prior to this pinnacle of his success, MJM Lafir had participated in international championships in Billiards and Snooker in Edinburg, Scotland, Malta, and Auckland New Zealand, since 1970, but had not won any of them.
At the World Snooker Tournament in Edinburgh, Scotland, in Oct-Noc 1970, Lafir defeated IL Glozier (NZ), aul Mifsud (Malta), John Clint (N Ireland), D Sneddon (Scotland), but lost to John Phillips (Scotland) and Sidney Hood (England).
At the World Amateur Billiards Championships in Valeta, Malta, in Nov 1971, Lafir finished fourth defeating D Sneddon (Scotland), Paul Mifsud (Malta), Lance Napper (NZ) and losing to Manuel Fransisco (South Africa) in the preliminary rounds.
In Nov-Dec 1972, at the World Open Billiards Championship, hel in Auckland, New Zealand, in which professionals as well as amateurs participated, Lafir lost to Clark McConachy (NZ), Eddie Charlton (Australia), Paddy Morgan (Ireland), Satish Mohan (India), Leslie Driffield (England) and Michael Ferreira (India) but won against C Everton (Wales), Jim Fryer (England), Kinsley Kennerly (England) and Jack Karneham (England). He failed to qualify for the Final Round.
Lafir won the World Amateur Billiards Championship, held in Bombay in Nov-Dec 1973, defeating all his opponents, viz; Clive Everton (Wales), Michael Ferreira (India), LU Demarco (Scotland), Alfred Nolan (England), Satish Mohan (India), Eric Simons (NZ), Brian Kirkness (NZ), Phil Tarrant (Australia), and Paul Mifsud (Malta.
On his return to Sri Lanka, after winning the title of World Amateur Billiard Champion, Lafir was given a red-carpet welcome on Dec 22 1973, and hosts of other receptions were awarded to him in celebrating the momentous and historical achievement. He was received and garlanded at the Airport by the Hon KB Ratnayake, Minister of Sports & Parliamentary Affairs, Hon Dr NM Perera, Minister of Finance, Hon Dr Badiudin Mahmud, Minister of Education, Hon Leslie Gunawardena, Minister of Transport, Mr I A Cader, Deputy Speaker, Sir Razik Fareed and officials of the Billiards Control Council and the MICH.
Lafii and his wife, Misriya, were conducted in a long motorcade from the Bandaranaike International Airport through the more populous streets of Colombo where large crowds gathered to welcome him home and cheer his victory. He was given a rousing welcome at the MICH Fort and conducted to the Hall where many speeches of felicitation and honor were given by the VIP’s present. A felicitation dinner was also arranged by the MICH, in honor of Lafir, at the Hotel Taprobane on Sunday Dec 23, 1973, where a bevy of 150 important and significant guests attended.
Lafir and his wife were also accompanied by the Hon Dr Badiudin Mahmud to pay courtesy calls on His Excellency Mr William Gopallawa, Governor General, and Mrs Sirimavo Bandaranaike, Prime Minister, both of whom received him with right royal cordiality.
The Colombo Municipal Council accorded a civic reception in honor of MJM Lafir on Dec 31, 1973 with the Mayor, Mr Vincent Perera in the chair.
MJM Lafir made a valiant attempt to score a prestigious double when he participated in the World Amateur Snooker Championship in Dublin, Ireland, in Nov 1974. Although he won six of the eight matches he played in the preliminary rounds he lost in the quarter finals. Lafir won against ray Edmonds (England), holder and utlimate winner of the title, Shyam Shroff (India), John Skelazeski (Canada), Des Sheehan (Ireland), Geoff Thomas (Wales) and Patrick Donnelly (NZ) while he lost to Norman Stockman (NZ) and Eddie Sinclair (Scotland). He was beaten in the quarter finals by Pasqual Burke (Ireland) by 3 frames to 4. In the final round Ray Edmonds (reigning champion, England) beat Geoff Thomas (Wales) by 11 frames to 9.
After his death, the Colombo Municipal Council renamed Messenger Street, as M.J.M. Lafir Mawatha. His club MICH conducts a cue tournament in his memory. Fitting tribute was paid to him with the issuing of a stamp in his name.
M.J.M. Lafir will be remembered as a legend in green blazer who tantalized opponents with his fine moves.

The public is invited to attend a special music service entitled “Abound in Hope,” combining a 10-piece orchestra and a 35-member choir at the United Church of Rowayton, 210 Rowayton Ave., Sunday, March 11, at 10:15 a.m.
“The ‘Abound in Hope’ service is a celebration of the days leading up to Easter,” says Pastor John Livingston.
The orchestra and choir will be under the direction of Marsha Hall, the church’s music director. All the musicians are from the local area.
The ensemble will be performing “The Tree of Peace” by the internationally applauded composer and arranger Gwyneth Walker, D.M.A.
The text for “The Tree of Peace” was adapted from the Jon Greenleaf Whittier poem “O Brother Man.”
“We are excited and honored to present this inspiring work,” says Marsha. “Gwyneth will be here in Rowayton as we rehearse and perform her composition.”
Gwyneth has local roots, having grown up in New Canaan, where “Gwyneth Walker Day” was established in 2007. She taught herself how to play the piano and, while in first grade, organized an orchestra.
She went on to write and arrange more than 300 compositions that have been performed around the world.
Today, Gwyneth’s work is in continual demand, and she maintains a full travel schedule to oversee presentations.

rings of hope
Beth arrived home to the realities of an inaccessible world. She wasn’t strong enough to wheel herself up the low incline of our new ramp and expended colossal effort to open the refrigerator. Her livable space shrunk without the second floor and basement.
I hated our small bathroom and our new shower chair. Nothing was easy. I desperately wanted to make things better and suggested moving to a more accessible home. She insisted that we stay put, and I resolved to try harder.
Three days later, Beth’s African Gray baby arrived to stay. The parrot stood nearly a foot high with striking gray and white shading. She named him Timber since he could not perch well, sometimes falling from a hand to a lap (tim-berrrr!), and because she had a crush on Justin Timberlake from N’Sync.
A typical fourteen year old in many ways, my youngest wanted to look her best for the start of school. A dentist put a cap on her chipped front tooth from the accident. Beth asked for a haircut and her first highlights. When we went shopping with Maria, a lady asked about her sister’s wheelchair.
“Some people assume I’m not intelligent because I am in a wheelchair,” Beth said. “They talk loud and slow when they first see me. When I do normal things such as moving around or crossing a threshold, some people will tell me ‘good job!’ like it is the most amazing thing.”
Beth's friend Elizabeth (and Elizabeth’s mom) surprised her with an extraordinary gift, an elegant silver and gold ring with a small diamond, engraved with the word HOPE. Her five closest friends wore identical rings. The friends planned to pay for the rings until the Osterman Jewelers in our small Ohio town, Tiffin, donated them instead.
When I dropped off a paper to the high school principal that explained quadriplegia, he offered me a part-time position in a program for at risk students. There wasn’t any other job I could do and be available to Beth, so I accepted.
I hurried away, suddenly winded with a tightening chest, thudding heart, throbbing head, and dizzying view. Why did I say yes? I had none of Beth’s courage. How much would she need me? How many school days would she miss? My responsibility had doubled, tripled, without the safety net of rehab nurses. Anything could happen and I worried about everything.
challenging choices
Beth decided to cut her stay short at the rehab hospital to start her first year of high school on time. The inpatient stay for those with new spinal cord injuries in the neck often exceeded three months. She would leave her hospital room after two months, giving her two weeks at home to adjust before school started. She refused to weigh the merits of the easier option: tutoring. No matter that she was pale, tired, weak, and susceptible to infection. No matter that she could wheel herself a short distance before her arms trembled and exhaustion set in.
"Life is about making choices," Beth said. “At this point, some people may have taken a year off of school to rest and build their strength at home. I wanted to start at Tiffin Columbian High School with the rest of my freshman class.”
I was faced with a choice as well. I officially quit my job at the institution for what I thought would be a long-term role as my daughter's personal care assistant. One afternoon in early July, John stayed with Beth while I turned in my keys and set up the literacy program for whoever would replace me.
At the center, I ducked into a little-used hallway and closed myself in my office, avoiding the dozens of residents I had worked with. Most had looked forward to our sessions, usually a pleasant reprieve from monotonous days. I justified walking away, since my other option, talking individually with many residents in different locations, would be disruptive and frustrating all around. And with staff quitting regularly for easier jobs, residents lived with a revolving door of workers who cared about them. However, there was no comfort in the fact that I would not be the last to leave. As I left behind a good job where I could make a small difference, I wiped away more tears.
Beth's shortened hospital stay added a sense of urgency to the rest of the summer. Extensive preparations had to be finished quickly at home–and at school.

The Billionth Monkey is the hilarious new weird fantasy novel from Richard Kaczynski.
In this blog, I will walk through the book and, post by post, explore its clues, Easter eggs, and references to popular and nerd culture. Some references are obvious, while others are what Mystery Science Theater 3000 might call "1% jokes."
SPOILERS AHEAD. If you haven't read the book yet, you may want to explore the other pages in the nav bar below.
Page 104: Samuel L. Jackson, call your service
I suppose I ought to fess up right now that in this scene from The Billionth Monkey I imagined the bartender looking kind of like Samuel L. Jackson’s character Stephen from Django Unchained (2012). Not that the bartender is (to use Jackson’s description of Stephen) “the most despised Negro in cinematic history.” I was just picturing a distinguished-looking older man who dressed better than the establishment he was tending.
Samuel L. Jackson as Stephen in Django Unchained
(2012, dir. Quentin Tarantino, Weinstein Company).
Given this, I also thought it would be hilarious to see the bartender’s proper demeanor crumble when he reached for a shotgun and reverted into Snakes on a Plane-vintage Samuel L. Jackson. Which is exactly why he makes the remark about the motherfucking snipers. I just love the fact that Jackson insisted that the 2006 movie keep its original working title, Snakes on a Plane, because it was the reason he agreed to be in the movie in the first place.
Samuel L. Jackson as Neville Flynn in Snakes on a Plane (2006, dir David R. Ellis, New Line Cinema):

Force Majeure (2014)
(Release Date: February 10, 2015) With all of the untainted resplendence of a travelogue and all of the cathartic emotional signification of human drama both high-powered and intimate, "Force Majeure" is an unsuspecting cinematic spectacle. Writer-director Ruben Östlund has crafted a dream for the senses, revelatory in its audacious examination of a provocative hot-button subject that has never before, in quite the same way, been broached in a feature film. Its visual conception and mise en scéne are hypnotic, aesthetically matching only Jonathan Glazer's "Under the Skin" amongst this year's releases. The music, taking portentous advantage of an accordion rendition of Vivaldi's "Summer," threads the thorny narrative like a seamless cross-stitch. Tonally, there is near-perfection in Östlund's accomplished wedding of squirmy frostbitten humor and thoroughly dismaying interpersonal devastation, the two halves congealing into a single sublimely observed, entirely original slice-of-life. Indeed, "Force Majeure" works on so many different levels and unyieldingly pierces the heart of so many different relevant topicsabout marriage and family, about gender roles and societal expectations, about self-sacrifice vs. self-preservation, about guilt and shame and everything else that makes us humanit comes as no surprise it won the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
For Swedish couple Tomas (Johannes Bah Kuhnke) and Ebba (Lisa Loven Kongsli) and their children, Vera (Clara Wettergren) and Harry (Vincent Wettergren), a relaxing, picturesque vacation at a ski resort in the French Alps instantly transforms into something far more contemplative and unsettling when they face what they initially believe to be a near-death experience. On their second of a planned five-day getaway, the family is lunching on an idyllic outdoor patio when they bear witness to what Tomas reassures Ebba is a controlled avalanche. When the mighty wave of powder barrels closer and looks like it is about to make impact, a panicked Tomas grabs his gloves and cell phone and runs, leaving behind his wife and kids to fend for themselves. The incident is a false alarmthe avalanche loses steam at the last second and only a light mist blankets thembut the silence that meets Tomas afterwards when he returns to their restaurant table is deafening. Vera and Harry question why their dad wasn't there when they needed him, and Ebba feels downright deceived by a man whom she had always assumed would try to protect them at any cost. When she can no longer keep her feelings inside, she is met with yet another betrayal: his unwillingness to admit to his decidedly unheroic actions.
"Force Majeure" opens with its central quartet posing for pictures on the slopes, each snapshot staged to present a fabricated version of reality. Away from the camera, they appear to be a happy, copacetic clan, free of unwanted strife and content to spend the bulk of their hours together. Following Tomas' spur-of-the-moment decision to abandon them and save his own skin, the luster of their tight-knit unit is instantaneously stripped away. Ebba wonders if she knows her husband as well as she once figured, but even more damning than what happened on that patio is how he chooses to deny it afterwards. Tomas says that he does not share her version of events, but in this instance there are no versions beyond the truth, her case supported all the more by the video he was recording when the avalanche hit. For a woman who would do anything for the ones she loves, Ebba is met in the days following by doubts about her life andinspired by her new friendship with fellow mother Charlotte (Karin Myrenberg Faber), who has unapologetically left her family for a vacation with younger boy-toy Brady (Brady Corbet)a revised outlook on the sanctity of relationships and common social mores.
Director Ruben Östlund is a master of insinuation, authenticity and purposeful discomfort, his characters' tense conversations punctuated by periods of quiet where it is readily clear what they are thinking and what they are in danger of verbally unleashing if they opt to finally speak their minds. In biting sequences where Ebba, in need of someone to listen to her, expels her pent-up feelings in front of Tomas to outside acquaintancesCharlotte and Brady at dinner, family friends Mats (Kristofer Hivju) and Fanny (Fanni Metelius) in a would-be jovial get-together that turns into a soul-baring therapy sessionit is next to impossible to blink, let alone turn away. The more subtle moments are just as clearly and poignantly defined, from teeth-brushing sessions in front of their bathroom mirror, to their skiing excursions amidst a mountainous winter wonderland, to a scene where Ebba catches a lift to the top of the peak for some "alone" time and happens to privately spot Tomas and the kids through a patch of trees that separate them. One particular scene where Tomas and Mats have a strange encounter with some young ladies by the pool is deliciously awkward in the most spectacular way, playing out in a single shot as "Reload" by Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash blasts on the soundtrack. In another, a private conversation between Tomas and Ebba outside their hotel room finds relief in the natural absurdity that arises as a nosy man smoking a cigarette eavesdrops on them from across the way.
It is difficult to discuss performances when every actor is so absent of artifice. With only one recognizable name among themBrady Corbet (2011's "Martha Marcy May Marlene"), in a small but memorable role that allows him to fully blend with his co-starsthe ensemble players seem to be existing as their characters in lieu of portraying scripted parts. Johannes Bah Kuhnke and Lisa Loven Kongsli feel like a legitimate married couple as Tomas and Ebba, their longstanding bond and mounting disconnect reverberating with uncompromised frankness. Kuhnke delivers the necessary guarded nuances of a guy whose tarnished masculinity is but a magnifying glass to all his other mistakes and shortcomings. Kongsli brings steep emotional complexities to a woman who cannot help but reassess all that she thought she knew about her spouse. Yes, Tomas' actions were spontaneous, unplanned and lasted mere seconds, but the implications of such are incalculably vast. As daughter Vera and son Harry, real-life siblings Clara Wettergren and Vincent Wettergren are guileless wonders, so unforced in their interactions with each other and their on-screen parents it is a challenge to comprehend that the four of them aren't an actual family.
"Force Majeure" is stunningly lensed by cinematographer Fredrik Wenzel, he and writer-director Ruben Östlund bringing painstaking detail to the geography of their enticing setting and the day-to-day activities within a high-end cliffside luxury ski resort. Wenzel's immersive frame tracks the family's path across moving walkways, up and down the ravishing halcyon slopes, and through the impeccably hyper-modern hotel (exterior filming reportedly took place in British Columbia and on location in the French Alps, while interiors were shot at Sweden's lush Copperhill Mountain Lodge). Meanwhile, cannons forever fire in the distance and snow machines traverse the twinkling nighttime vistas in their quest to artificially perfect the vacation spot's advertised vision of paradise. The intended message is that nothing bad could possibly happen in a place like this, but of course that's far from accurate.
"Force Majeure" richly stacks one pleasure on top of the next. It is mature and perceptive and deeply moving, but its sly, razor-edged comedic bent is simultaneously on point, brilliantly blurring the lines between painful and painfully droll. Every image radiates with glacial beauty and virtuosic metaphoric symbolism. As all great art should, the film is destined to provoke serious discussions and passionate debates among viewers. Perhaps because these characters' specific quandaries are a departure from more familiar movie conflicts and tropes, there is increased novelty in audiences being confronted by "what-if" questions they have likely never asked themselves. Tomas and Ebba have a great many issues to work out if there is any hope of repairing their relationship, while Vera and Harry are trapped helplessly in the middle, longing for things to go back to the way they were when they arrived at the resort. The picture's final ten minutes, taking the family into the eye of a stormy whiteout and then, slowly, back down to earth on a perilous bus ride along the mountain's treacherous bluffs, are staggering in the breadth of what is said and suggested without precious little being uttered at all. Whether they realize it or not, Tomas and Ebba are rendered one in the same as their friends and vacationing day-player acquaintances existing on the periphery, a flawed and fallible cluster of humanity unified by their shared resilience and lack of answers. "Force Majeure" is a blistering, ultimately empathetic tour de force.
A/A
"Force Majeure" featured some of the most stunning cinematography of 2014, making use of the snowy French Alps and its central ski resort in a way that has rarely ever been captured before on screen. As expected and hoped for, the film's 1080p transfer is a top-of-the-line high-def presentation, drawing the viewer in with every immersive frame. Detail is first-rate, colorsthe white of the slopes, the brown oak and sleek metallic of the hotel interiorare masterfully vivid, and the 2D image holds a lifelike depth that one cannot get from synthetic 3D. There is the rare shot that looks ever so slightly softer than others, but this appears to be true to source. The Swedish 5.1 DTS-HD Master Audio (with optional English subtitles) is excellent as well, as long as one realizes this is a generally quiet, talk-heavy character drama and does not feature too many chances for sonic fireworks. With that said, the dialogue is clear and assured, and the pieces of music usedVivaldi's "Summer" and Sebastian Ingrosso and Tommy Trash's "Reload"offer up a pleasing fullness as they fill the surrounding speakers.
Interview with writer/director Ruben Östlund and actor Johannes Bah Kuhnke (16:43, HD)
"AXS TV: A Look at Force Majeure" Featurette (2:37, HD)
"Force Majeure" is mesmerizing, a bristly but sympathetic slice of life that deeply touches and visually inspires. When so many movies are variations on the same plot, here is one that is unique and provocative. Magnolia Pictures' Blu-ray release lives up to the film's quality, and the interview with the director found in the special features brings invaluable insight into the genesis of the project. "Force Majeure" is a must-own on Blu-ray, and receives my highest recommendation.

Infant mass burial in Roman villa in England »
Oldest known images of two apostles found in Roman catacomb
The oldest known images of apostles Andrew and John have been found under layers of white calcium deposits in the 4th century catacombs of St. Tecla in Rome.
That’s the same catacomb where wall paintings of Saints Peter and Paul were discovered last year. There are earlier images of Peter and Paul extant, but only as part of group paintings. These are the earliest known solo portraits of Peter and Paul, and the portraits of Andrew and John predate the previous oldest-known representations by a century.
“John’s young face is familiar, but this is the most youthful portrayal of Andrew ever seen, very different from the old man with grey hair and wrinkles we know from medieval painting,” said project leader Barbara Mazzei.
Discovered in the 1950s and as yet unseen by the public, the St Tecla catacomb is accessed through the unmarked basement door of a drab office building, beyond which dim corridors packed with burial spots wind off through damp tufa stone.
They’re part of a group of elaborate, richly colored paintings which suggest the catacomb housed a noblewoman. The image of a bejeweled woman dressed in elegant clothing standing with her daughter between two saints is painted in one of the arches. Archaeologists believes she was the owner of the catacomb and patron of its arts.
Besides the apostles, there are paintings of Christ as the Good Shepherd, a nude Daniel with lions at his feet, and Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, Peter drawing water in the Mamertine prison, Mary and the three Wise Men, Abraham sacrificing Isaac, and more. The paintings are set against saturated red and black backgrounds, colors often associated with imperial Roman art.
We wouldn’t know these colors existed if it weren’t for a new restoration technology. When archaeologists first opened the catacomb in 2008, the walls and ceilings were all covered in white. The closed and moist environment inside the catacomb created thick deposits of white calcium carbonate inches thick in some places. The incrustations were removed by a laser which can be calibrated by color, so archaeologists programmed it to remove only the white calcium carbonate. The laser stopped precisely at the colored paints which revealed the magnificent richness of the work without any fear of damaging it.
In the past restorers had to scrape the calcium off with brushes and scalpels. To ensure that they didn’t scrape off any of the paint, they had to keep a layer of white film obscuring the art. The laser procedure is just as painstaking, mind you, because they have to do it one pinpoint at a time, but the precision of the tool opens a whole new world of possibilities for restorers.
The four apostles are an unusual combination. Peter and Paul are together a lot, of course, especially in Rome where they both died, but Peter, Paul, Andrew and John don’t often get depicted together. The fact that all four were depicted in individual medallions around the central figure of Christ the Good Shepherd suggests that they were devotional icons, not just narratives, of the four most important apostles of the era. These paintings could well have been models for later representations; they lend insight into the dawn of apostle worship in early Christianity.
The catacombs will not be opened to the public — they are too delicate to cram hundreds of moist, secreting, respiring bodies into — but some the pontifical commission may allow the occasional small group to get a private tour.

That precise laser technology is really useful! The colors are quite stunning
They really are. A lot of the laser experts donated their time too, so the total cost to reveal all that color was around $70,000. Chump change in archaeological circles.

4 Savvy Organizer Apps for Back to School
By Tracey Dowdy
Students in my neighborhood don’t go back to school until after Labor Day but my little friend Lydia started first grade the first Wednesday in August. No matter the start date, for most families back to school means a major change in routine and those first weeks can be as frustrating as eating soup with a fork. These apps can help you get everyone up to speed and back on track for the start of the new school year.
Several moms I know use care.com as their go-to for sitters and nannies, but they also use it in ways I hadn’t thought of. Since many of the families in my area are two-income homes, getting kids to and from after school activities is a challenge. That’s where care.com comes in. Users can find someone to drop off or pick up kids from school or soccer practice, hire a tutor, walk the dog, check in on your elderly parents, or even catch up on your laundry. They even offer services for families with special needs children. The app is free and the service starts at $39 a month. Caregivers rates will vary depending on experience and the service offered.
Teachers do their best but for many students, focused, one on one instruction is the difference between success and failure. Wyzant is an online database of expert tutors making “private tutoring accessible and affordable, in person and online.” Simply plug in the subject and your zip code and WyzAnt will bring up a list of potential tutors in your area. The list includes biographical information, education level and a photo. You can communicate with the tutor and review feedback from other users for free and even run a secure background check. You set the parameters – how often you want to meet, where, and at what time.
Search for help with virtually any subject: test prep, phonics, organic chemistry, art history, or even private music lessons. WyzAnt has tutors “within 10 miles of 93.7% of the US population” so chances are you can find one in your area, and online tutoring is also an option. Payments are made through WyzAnt after each session with most tutors charging between $30-$50 per hour, though keep in mind rates will vary based on factors such as education, experience, and the subject being tutored. Plus, WyzAnt promises a money back guarantee – they cover the cost of the first hour if you’re not 100% satisfied with your tutor.
Signup.com
Signup.com is a PTA parent’s dream. As a “coordination resource”, signup.com provides users with organizing tools for everything from field trips and fundraisers to volunteer schedules and collecting for teacher gifts. Sync the app with the website and you’ll be able to access your account and schedules across platforms. You can upload logos and photos, access over 1500 themes, create and send unlimited emails, announcements, and thank you notes, collect funds plus any other features essential for classroom volunteer management. Premium plans allow you to add waivers, virtual check in, custom URL’s and tracking of volunteer or participant hours. The basic service is free, premium starts at $9.99 a month, and the Campus Plan for K-12 is $99 a year.
Thirty-five million students, parents and teachers use Remind, a free messaging app that allows direct communication among parents, teachers and students without sharing phone numbers. Students do not see teachers’ phone numbers nor do teachers see theirs. Users create a profile that allows them to communicate with individuals or with groups via text messages – students without smartphones receive their messages via SMS. Granted, not all students have phones, but many do, so it’s easy to send reminders, schedule changes and keep up to date. The app is free for iOS and Android devices.

Apps to Get Your Family Outdoors
Using a smartphone or tablet doesn’t have to mean screen time or inactive play. Use these apps and websites to have real world adventures with your kids this summer and become amateur bird watchers, citizen scientists, and amateur astronomers.
Audubon Bird Guide
The Audubon Bird Guide has a catalog identifying over 800 birds with information on their appearance, habitat, behavior and migration patterns. Take the app outdoors and find Birds with eBird, a “free online program that allows birders to track their sightings, while other birders watch and search in real-time.” Amateur birders track their location, each bird they saw, how many of each species, where and how long they were outdoors, and then jump to the eBird website and click “Submit Observations” to upload their information. There’s even an un-official eBird challenge to submit at least one list a day for one year, even if you only bird watch for a few minutes.
Availability: iTunes, Google Play, Amazon
Night Sky takes the expanse of the night sky and puts it in your child’s hands. Just point your phone’s camera at the heavens and using geo-tracking, Night Sky will identify the stars and planets above your head. Use Stargazing Conditions to identify the best night to look for constellations and planets or combine Stargazing Conditions with World Traveler to see the conditions in an area you’re traveling to. The app includes music, sound effects, 3D Earth Mode, satellite tracking and you can connect with other star gazers through the Night Sky™ Community.
Meet the Insects
Did you know the animal with the most species on earth is insects? Well now you do! Meet the Insects is crammed with facts about every species you can think of, from butterflies to beetles. Choose Forest, Village and Water, or Grass editions to identify bugs in your backyard, on a camping trip or anywhere else you come across creepy-crawlies. Kids can learn more about each species through videos and photos, create a journal to keep track of what they’ve seen, or take a quiz to see how much they’ve learned.
Cost: $4.99 per edition
Availability: iTunes
Nature’s Notebook
Nature’s Notebook makes kids citizen scientists by having them create an account at usanpn.org and start logging their observations of the natural world around them. Kids choose an environment like a park or their backyard and then become amateur naturalists by recording the plants and animals they see as well as changes in behaviors and seasons. All their observations are logged in the Nature’s Notebook database which then helps scientists track climate change and animal behaviors around the globe.
Availability: iTunes, Google Play
Leafsnap
The Smithsonian Institution, University of Maryland and Columbia University have combined forces to create Leafsnap. Users take photos of leaves and through visual recognition software, Leafsnap identifies the tree species. The app has beautiful, high quality images of leaves, flowers, fruits, petioles, seeds, and bark found in the Northeastern United States and Canada.

Apps to Download Before a Family Flight
There’s a great debate at my house. As far as I’m concerned, vacation starts the minute I turn on my auto-reply and walk out of my office. For my husband, vacation starts once we’re at our destination and bags are unpacked. That’s probably because he does most of the driving if it’s a road trip, or arranges the tickets if we’re flying. That naturally makes me chief baby wrangler and child entertainer, no small task depending on the length of the trip.
Flying can be especially challenging with little ones, as the anticipation of the trip coupled with long wait times at ticketing, security, the gate, and then the flight itself – all while surrounded by strangers – can be overwhelming.
These apps can keep your kids entertained or distract them when they’re getting restless, so no matter when you think vacation starts, it gets off on the right foot.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar app bundle (ages 2+) gives kids the opportunity to interact with Eric Carle’s classic – and very hungry – caterpillar. The bundle includes four apps that allow kids to create their very own hungry caterpillar, feed him, learn about colors, shapes and counting, and learn to recognize simple words, plus many other fun adventures all through non-competitive, imaginative play.
Platform: iOS, Android, Windows
Tiny Airport
Tiny Airport (ages 3-6) takes kids through three different scenes starting with their arrival by taxi and check-in through boarding and getting to fly the plane themselves. With over 100 separate animations, kids will sort bags, go through a check list and start the plane and discover what a dog is doing on the runway. Tiny Airport includes some timed activities and challenges for older kids.
Platform: iOS, Android, Kindle Fire
Toca Vacation
Toca Vacation is part of the Toca Life series of apps designed with free and imaginative play in mind. Kids can interact with a host of characters as they decide where to vacation, where to stay and what to do when they arrive. Options are exactly what kids would enjoy in real life – jumping on the hotel bed, digging for shells and buried treasure at the beach, or enjoying an ice cream with their friends.
Eli Explorer
Eli Explorer (ages 5 and under) teaches kids age appropriate words and short phrases in 10 different languages, spoken by native speakers. Kids join Eli as he travels the world, exploring caves, jungles, forests and mountaintops. Order a glass of milk at a monkey tree bar, or dive into an undersea cave and listen to a monster band. The animation is simple yet engaging and very user friendly as kids need only tap and drag to interact with the game.
Platform: iOS
Plum’s Creaturizer
Plum’s Creaturizer (ages 4+) is based on the PBS KIDS web-original PLUM LANDING, a show dedicated to helping kids develop a love for and an appreciation of nature. The app allows kids to create their own wild creature by choosing from over 100 body parts and then take their creature outdoors and “photobomb” them into a scene. Kids can complete missions for their creature, answer questions about its life, diet and habitat, or watch a slideshow capturing “a day in the life” of their creation. All their creatures are saved in your device’s camera roll and to the in-app gallery.
Platform: iOS, Android, Windows, Nook

‘I’ll Take That To Go’: Rating the Top Fast Food Apps
Because we live in a world where a Drive Thru is no longer fast enough, fast food restaurants have taken things to the next level, introducing apps to get you in and out more quickly without compromising customer satisfaction. It’s all about creating and maintaining that customer base, so alongside offering healthier food options and rewards programs, they’ve developed apps designed to save time and money and keep you coming back for more.
But not all apps are created equal. Depending on your priorities and preferences, some are definitely better than others.
The Burger King app is straightforward and user friendly with easy to find to find locations, nutrition information and plenty of coupons. Mobile payment is an option via PayPal, BK® Crown Card, or a Virtual Card, so you can order, prepay and pick up your order fuss-free. The downside to the app is that prices are not listed and Value Menu items are scattered throughout their respective categories, so eating on a budget or trying to stay under a specific dollar amount can be tricky.
The McDonald’s app lets you view the menu but lacks the option to order online. The biggest draw is the number of coupons. Once you’ve created an account and chosen your local “home base” restaurant, the app will send you offers like BOGO’s or dollar-off coupons which is convenient considering the app doesn’t list prices and, like Burger King, value menu items don’t have their own listing. Because you can’t order online, the app primarily functions as a handheld menu and coupon resource.
Taco Bell may not be everyone’s top choice but their app is one of the better options in the fast food game. Menu items are presented with prices and with photos, because really who can remember the difference between a gordita and a chalupa? Pre-payment is available via credit or gift cards and nutrition information is easily accessible. Perhaps the best feature is that once you check out, the app asks if you’re picking up in-store or via drive-thru. Once you’re within a specific distance of the location, check in and they then prepare your order. Walk in, wait for your name to be called, and voila! fast fast food.
Unlike some of the other fast food burger options, Wendy’s doesn’t ask you to create an account or choose a “home base” location but brings up menu options and nutrition information right away. The “Right Size” value menu is easy to find, another option McDonalds and BK fail to offer. One unique feature is the option to donate to the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption from within the app. The biggest drawback with the Wendy’s app is that mobile ordering is limited to Phoenix, Portland, Austin and Columbus municipal areas only and mobile payment is limited to those participating locations.
Dominoes hands down has the best fast food app out there. Create an account at Dominoes.com and complete your profile with details like your favorite pizza, pick up or delivery, address and credit card information. This information creates your “Easy Order,” which is accessible from whatever digital platform you choose to order from, and that’s an extensive list. Users can order on their smartphone via SMS or by tweeting the pizza emoji to #Easyorder or to @Dominos and then confirming the order by Twitter direct message.
Users also have the option to order through Samsung Smart TVs, Ford Sync, Apple Wear, Android Wear or Pebble smartwatches, and Dominos own native mobile app. The app offers both national and local coupons and payment options include cash, credit, debit or Domino’s gift card.
All the fast food apps listed above are available for iPhone and Android.

App Review: Highlights Every Day
When my daughter was in Kindergarten, there was a LOT I didn’t know. Sometimes asking other parents was simple enough depending on the opportunity and I was constantly looking for recommendations on great books to read to her and with her.
When my daughter moved into 1st grade her amazing teacher, Mrs. Arone, introduced us to Highlights Magazine, which served the dual purpose of suggesting great books for kids her age while also donating some for use in the classroom. We loved getting the magazine and picking more than a dozen books from the list for us to read at home. It felt very much like a curated list of great reads, which saved us time for more nighttime reading before sleep.
Now, fast-forward a few years, and yes, there is an app for that! Highlights Every Day can be downloaded on your iPhone or Android device and it has been reimagined as an all-new digital experience. It features hundreds of fun facts, puzzles, jokes, quizzes, videos, stories and a lot more.
If you have kids between the ages of 6 and 12 they can learn about the world around them and enjoy hundreds of activities with a new issue delivered EVERY DAY!
Specific features include:
Exclusive videos, including joke reels, animated learning clips and Ask Highlights Kids shorts
Engaging stories, poems and reading activities
Skill-building Hidden Pictures® puzzles, mazes, word clues and more
Fascinating interactive quizzes
Hundreds of activities — there’s always something new to play
The app is available for phone and tablet and it is a great way to keep kids entertained with content that is safe and also educational in a fun way.
Monthly subscription: $7.99/month (or just 23¢ per day for 5 new daily activities)

How To Extend the Battery Life of an iPhone or iPad
There’s few things that strike fear in my heart more than the dreaded “10% Battery Remaining” notification popping up on my iPhone. Despite the fact I work from home most days and spent the first 30 years of my life without a cell phone, that message gives my heart a little flutter.
Every time Apple releases an iOS update they tweak usage a little, so it’s a good idea to review your settings to make sure you’re getting the most out of your battery. There are a few simple fixes you can make from your Home Screen: disabling Bluetooth and Air Drop, lowering the brightness of your display, turning off Wi-Fi or switching to Airplane mode if you’re travelling. Your phone’s antenna is constantly looking for Wi-Fi service and switching to flight mode can save significant battery power.
Here are few other tips to get the most life out of your iPhone and iPad battery charge.
Switch to Low Power Mode. When your phone reaches 20% power you automatically get a pop up giving you the option to switch to Low Power Mode. Apple says it will provide up to 3 hours of additional battery life. When it’s active you don’t have access to Hey Siri, Mail fetch, background refresh, automatic downloads and some visual effects but you can easily switch in and out of Low Power Mode if you need any of those features. You can switch to Low Power Mode even if your battery isn’t at 20% or lower if you know it will be a while before you can charge again.
Delete the Facebook app. Facebook got into some hot water last year when it was reported they had apps running in the background even when the app wasn’t in use or Background Refresh had been disabled. They reportedly fixed what they called a “glitch” but there still seems to be issues. A report in The Guardian states that deleting the app and accessing Facebook through Safari can add 15% to your battery life. To see how much power it uses, go to Settings>Battery and check the Battery Usage. The app used a whopping 38% of my battery in the past 24 hours. That’s a big number.
Review Your Notifications. Every time your phone gets a Notification it wakes your phone for 5-10 seconds. That can add up if you have Notifications enabled for a lot of your apps or even one or two apps that send frequent Notifications. Go to Settings>Notifications and then select which apps you want Notifications from.
Turn Off Location Services. Many apps use location services and while it makes sense for Maps to know where I am, it doesn’t make sense for IMDB. Go to Settings>Privacy>Location Services and toggle off for each app that doesn’t need to know where you are.
Turn Off Auto-Updates. One handy new feature in iOS 7 was an auto-update so that your apps are always current when you open them. Again, this means your phone is pulling battery power for them even when those apps aren’t in use which means draining your power. Go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Automatic Updates and select what needs auto-updating and which you prefer to update manually.
A final tip, Apple recommends draining the battery to zero every once in awhile such as every 4-6 weeks. Calibrating your battery allows the device to estimate its battery life more accurately and though it won’t make your charge last longer if you’re down to 5%, it will extend the lifespan of the battery.

Best Apps for Parents with Young Children
A fellow mom recently introduced me to one of the greatest, most life-changing apps of all time. Behold Sit or Squat – the app that tells you where to go when you’ve got to go. If you’ve ever been out with a toddler who just has to go, then you know what a game changer this app could be.
Created by Charmin (of course it was!), the app uses your location services to find a clean restroom nearby. Content is user curated and users can search, rate and add bathrooms, so you’re never stuck again. (Free – iOS, Android)
The same mom introduced me to Trekaroo, an app that searches for kid friendly venues, like parks, playgrounds, museums and even restaurants and hotels. Again, content is user curated so you’re getting honest opinions from other parents. The app can tell you things like how friendly the wait staff really is; the availability and cleanliness of rest rooms; and the proximity to public transit. (Free – iOS)
Similarly, Playground Buddy searches for playgrounds and parks all over the world, something that comes in pretty handy if you’re away from home or staying with relatives or who don’t have kids and have no idea where kids can go to go run off that cabin fever. The app allows users to update information and add new playgrounds and parks as they are built or discovered. (Free – iOS, Android)
Kids Eat Free provides a list of places where, well, kids can eat for free, or at a deep discount. As with other apps on the list, the content is updated by users and its accurate and easy-to-use interface makes it very popular with parents. (Free – iOS, Android)
Kidscore suggests you think of it as Yelp for parents. The app goes beyond kid friendly restaurants and attractions to include recommendations on hotels, pediatricians and shopping. Users can search under the following headers: Food and Dining, Health and Medical, Retail Shopping, Activities and Attractions, and Hotels and Lodging. The app includes not only reviews but also photos do you can get a clearer idea of where you’re going and what to expect when you get there. (Free – iOS)
The founders of the next app noted that we “date on Match, have regrettable hook-ups on Tinder and find the best brunch places to cure our hangovers on Yelp. Then we have kids…. and then what?” Their answer is Yuggler, a “comprehensive community for family fun.” More than just a list of museums and parks, Yuggler provides information like parades, classes, festivals and other community based events all over the world. You can search by cost and by times like Today, Tomorrow, or Next Week to find events that fit your schedule and your budget. One of its best features is a direct link to Pinterest, so you can save your favorites, plus you can choose to get Push Notifications about upcoming events. (Free – iOS)

7 Apps for New Parents
I once had a friend compare being a new parent to his job as a firefighter. There are times when you’re sitting around and things are relatively peaceful but you know it won’t last; sooner or later the siren will go off and it’s complete chaos for the next few hours.
Fortunately, it’s not all chaos and disaster. These apps can help manage your time, track baby’s needs and milestones, and make every sure you capture every precious moment.
Eat Sleep: Simple Baby Tracking does exactly what it says: it tracks your baby’s sleep, eating, and diaper habits. Recommended by moms of multiples, the app is very straightforward with information entered by a single tap. There’s a handy Notes feature but no alarms, alerts or scheduling and the clean interface means you can access information at a glance. For an additional cost you can purchase BabySync, which allows you to backup information and share it with family ad friends. (iOS – Free)
Latchme was developed by doctors and lactation consultants and is loaded with valuable tips and videos. The app is community supported, so you can connect with other moms to ask questions and find resources in your area like nursing areas with clean facilities, comfortable chairs, change tables, sinks, and outlets. (iOS, Android – Free)
The Wonder Weeks is based on the book of the same name, backed by 35 years of experience and is designed to help you track your baby’s mental development for the first 20 months. The app lets you know when your baby is about to make a developmental leap, what they can comprehend and learn after this mental growth spurt, as well as behavioral differences to be aware of like interrupted sleep patterns and mood changes. (iOS, Android – $1.99)
Baby Connect is a comprehensive app that can help you stay on top of everything, including feedings, diaper changes, sleep, baby’s mood, medications, and even photos. Information is easily shared making it especially valuable for parents and caregivers who share childcare responsibilities. (iOS, Android – $4.99)
Sprout Baby is another comprehensive app that allows you to track milestones, feedings, diaper changes and doctor appointments. Information is easily shared across devices and between caregivers as well as healthcare providers ensuring everyone is up to date on baby’s needs. The app can be purchased as a standalone or is available as part of a 3 app bundle. (iOS, Android – $4.99; or Sprout Fertility and Period Tracker, Sprout Pregnancy, and Sprout Baby for $9.99)
Cozi is consistently on lists of go-to apps for getting organized, something that may be more of a challenge with a newborn. Or a toddler. Or a Tween. Or Twins. You see where I’m going with this? More than just a way to track baby’s needs, it enables you to track and share doctor’s appointments, shopping lists, and much more for the whole family. (iOS, Android – Free)
WebMD Baby can be a lifesaver both literally and figuratively. The app provides easy to access and understand doctor approved medical information from birth to two years. It includes illness and emergency symptoms and weekly content that is specific to your baby’s age and developmental stage. (iOS, Android – Free)

Apps to Connect You to a Good Cause
The proliferation of social media and the ease of “Liking” or “Sharing” a post to spread awareness have led to a new term being added to our vocabulary – “slacktivism.” Also referred to as “armchair activism,” slacktivism refers to signing an online petition or joining an online group as a means to ease your conscience, rather than actually making an effort to to make a real difference.
That’s a pretty harsh view to take and implies we’re too lazy or self-absorbed to make a meaningful effort. In reality, based on data from philanthropy research organization Giving USA, Americans donated an estimated $358 billion to charities in 2014. We clearly do want to help, but perhaps aren’t always sure how.
These apps can help guide us, as they’re a legitimate means to do good, not just a path to instant conscience-easing gratification.
Share the Meal
Pairing the concept of crowdfunding with smartphone users who outnumber the hungry 20 to 1 globally, The United Nations World Food Programme Share the Meal allows users to donate as little as fifty cents a day to fight hunger. It’s as simple as a single tap on your screen.
Platform: iOS, Android, Amazon
Charity Miles
Once you download the app, Charity Miles tracks your movements. Each running-mile is worth 25 cents, each biked-mile earns10 cents. Users can select where the money is donated with a list of 30 charities to choose from including World Wildlife Fund and Habitat for Humanity. Note, Charity Miles keeps 50% of donations made to cover the shortfall when there are more individuals participating than corporate donations had been committed.
Platform: iOS, Android
One Today
One Today was developed by Google and introduces you to a new charity every day by telling you the details for each charity, what they do, what your donation will fund, and providing you with an impact report. When you see a charity you like, simply tap the give button to donate $1. If you want to give more, the app connects you with the charity’s website.
Donate a Photo
If ever there was a charity designed for our selfie and photo sharing era, it’s Donate a Photo. Simply download the app, choose a charity you want to help, choose a photo from your camera roll or take one through the app, share the photo via Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter and Johnson & Johnson will give $1 to your chosen cause. J&J curates a list of causes and once the charity’s goal is met, they’re replaced with a new cause. Images will never be used for commercial purposes and can be kept to a private list of viewers. Users can post one photo per day.
Platform: iOS, Android)
TangoTab
TangoTab connects you with great deals at local restaurants. Simply check in when you arrive and the restaurant will pay a small fee to TangoTab. That money is then donated to a local food charity like a shelter or food bank to feed the hungry and homeless. Their tag is “When you eat, they eat.” The charity is currently available in limited cities but if you provide your email address, they’ll contact you when it comes to your city.

Constitutional recognition to Khasi language demanded
By By Our Reporter on May 14, 2013
SHILLONG: Considering the fact that the Khasi language has grown over the past few decades and deserves its due, however, the language is yet to find a space in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution, rued Urban Affairs Minister M Ampareen Lyngdoh.
Expressing concern over the non-inclusion of the Khasi language in the Eighth Schedule, Lyngdoh said, “This issue was taken up at several intervals in Parliament in the late 90s, however, we are yet to get recognition. We continue to rally on this important agenda in the Parliament till today.”
Addressing the gathering at the Bhasha Samman, an award ceremony for the laureates of the country organised by the Sahitya Akademi held at U Soso Tham Auditorium here on Monday, Lyngdoh urged the Sahitya Akademi to rally on this issue on behalf of the people of Meghalaya.
The Urban Affairs Minister also observed that ‘though folklore is engrained in our culture, it is slowly disappearing due to lack of documentation coupled with the onslaught of the internet and media which have threatened and endangered our culture’.
“We urge the Sahitya Akademi to support our experts and help preserving our culture, language and our identity which is reserved by our mother tongue,” she said, while adding, “At present we have matured enough to preserve our language at all cost.”
In relation to the North East Centre for Oral and Literature which was shifted to Tripura from Shillong, Lyngdoh said that a request should be made by the Akademi on behalf of the State to re-consider Shillong as the centre for the institute.
Speaking at length about the strength of the language and the need to preserve the same, President of Sahitya Academy, Vishwanath Prasad Tiwari, said that about 24 languages are being recognized by the Akademi.
“Considering the fact that there are more than a thousand languages, written and oral, in a multi-lingual country like India, the academy’s activities should be extended beyond the 24 recognized ones by acknowledging and promoting literary creativity as well as academic research in non-recognized languages,” he said.
Observing that language and its development is crucial for the human race, he said, “Writers are rare species who break the limitations and boundaries through communication and the world would continue to look beautiful until they exist.”
On the day, the Akademi honoured six laureates from all over the country who included Narayan Chandra Goswami of Assam and Hasu Yajnik of Gujarat for their contribution to classical and medieval literature; Tabu Ram Taid of Assam for his contribution to missing language and literature, Addanda C Cariappa and late Mandera Jaya Appanna of Karnataka for their contribution to Kodava language and literature and Meghalaya’s own Sondar Singh Majaw for his contribution to Khasi language and literature.

BOOK REVIEW: ‘Starry Eyed Inside’ by Rochelle Allison—4.5 Stars
June 20, 2017 By Funmbi 1 Comment
Starry Eyed Inside by Rochelle Allison is a beautifully evocative coming of age story that reminds you of the angst and fun of being a teenager and first love. This is a summer MUSTREAD!
Starry Eyed Inside by Rochelle Allison
My rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
[For Mature Audiences; Some Spoilers]
I’ve been a Rochelle Allison fan for several years now. I really enjoy her writing style. While others use highfalutin prose, chock-full of lengthy inner-musings and complex dialogue, the simplicity of Rochelle’s prose is so refreshing. Ro writes the way we actually think, speak, and feel, which makes it so easy to gobble up her words. Starry Eyed Inside totally embodies this same style. SEI is an emotional coming of age story, following a girl and her friends through high school. Their experiences are so much like our own, with all the angst and fun of being a teenager. In addition to great characters and plot, Starry Eyed Inside is beautifully evocative and very well edited.
Aurora Shepherd is starting her freshman year in high school in Jensen Beach, Florida and she knows life is about to change. Along with the stress of increasingly demanding classes, Rory is also dealing with a new social scene. Sure, she has her homegirls Teigen and Niki, who have always been by her side. But even with their friendship, Rory still finds herself wading into the unfamiliar waters of a first major crush and first love. The first moment she lays eyes on Skyler Nolan, Rory is a goner. Skyler’s gray eyes and bad boy/DGAF attitude swoon Rory off her feet and she wants to be in his orbit. But he’s a 16 year old boy, hell-bent on playing the field. Rory and Skyler have mutual friends, and over time, they get to know one another and even start dating. Yet, the relationship always has Rory on the backfoot. She’s never really sure of Skyler’s feelings and doesn’t want to push him for fear of scaring him away. Rory experiences a lot of firsts with Skyler, as she explores her sexuality. She’s so head-over-heels and in the throes of first love. However, just as Rory and Skyler are about to take their relationship to a more serious level, his bad-boy antics catch up with him, and Skyler is forced to leave Florida. Rory is completely heartbroken, but, in time, she moves on with her life, as teenagers do.
Rory grows up and even opens up her heart again. However, when Skyler returns to town a couple years later, she finds the rug ripped out from underneath her again. They’re both in different places, a little older and wiser, less impetuous. Still, the intense chemistry sizzles between them and Rory starts to wonder if her childhood crush of Skyler could become something more mature and lasting.
Full-ish disclosure, I was a complete straightedge in high school. I didn’t drink, party, or smoke pot. So, while I don’t have a lot of personal experience with the shenanigans that Rory and her friends get into, I have no problem whatsoever slipping into their shoes. I went to school with kids like these, and this realism is part of why Starry Eyed Inside is such a great read. I can’t say I enjoyed the era of teenage angst, but watching Rory try to navigate this process of moving from childhood to adulthood is emotional and also a lot of fun. I may not have snuck out or smoked as much as Rory and her friends, but I was definitely just as boy-crazy. And when I had a crush…lawwwwd, everything revolved around that boy and my feels.
I love how open Rory is, especially in her thoughts. And as she grows up, that emotional honesty remains part of her character. Rory is genuine person and a fervent friend.
And Skyler… cute, trouble-making Skyler. He’s every teenage boy I ever had a crush on… aloof, kind of reckless, sex on the brain, but super sweet too, especially when his boys aren’t around to rag on him. There are times that Skyler swoons me, and then others when I want to slap the back of his head for being so insensitive… just like a 16 year old boy! It’s clear that Skyler likes Rory, but at the same time, he resists being “tied down”. Perhaps I can’t fault Skyler for that since he’s so young. But he does pay a price of sorts when his risky behavior catches up with him.
In all honesty, I have an odd relationship with the New Adult genre. Several NA books I’ve read in the past are a squicky combination of YA and hardcore erotica that leaves me feeling hella uncomfortable. This is never the case with Starry Eyed Inside. The first half of the book, following 15 year old Rory and 16 year old Skyler, does have several scenes of the two engaging in sexual acts. It might be a little awkward for an older reader, but it’s never gratuitous, seedy, or uncharacteristically adult.
With that said, my favorite parts are when we transition to the second half of the book. Rory (18) and Skyler (19) are more cautious. They (and the reader) know that if they get back together, the relationship would have the potential for a forever kind of love or catastrophic heartbreak. In time, Rory and Skyler realize that the risk could be worth it:
“I’m just going to throw this out there, then.” He paused until I looked up at him. “I don’t really want to be your friend.”
I tucked my hair behind my ears, waiting for the catch. “Why not?”
“I think it’s safe to say there’s something here,” he said, gesturing between the two of us.
And there it was. The evening was warm and humid, but I shivered, wrapping my arms around my knees.
“We weren’t really friends before, either,” I said eventually, unable to look him in the face. “I mean it was always so physical between us.”
“Come on, it was more than that.”
He was right. But it was funny he chose now to quantify things.
“Maybe, but… I don’t know. It was so intense.”
“What’s wrong with intense?” I smiled into my lap. Who was I kidding, I loved intense. I craved it. “Intense is good, but it’s not all there is, Skyler. You –”
“You never wanted anything but the intense parts. I feel like I held my breath the entire time.”
“So now you go for the boring guys.” He said it like he was teasing, but I knew he meant it.
I gave him a dirty look… “Maybe I like boring.”
“Maybe you like me.”
Everything about this night had been by the book, so I half expected him to kiss me goodnight right then. But he didn’t. He drew me in to his arms and held me tight, like he had the day before. I hugged him back, relishing his solidity, his warmth.
“Let me see you tomorrow,” he said, so quietly I almost didn’t hear.
I hugged him tighter, nodding. “Yes.”
“Let me kiss you,” he whispered.
I remembered this: expectancy sparking through my nervous system, the build-up before the fall. I melted into him, shivering when his fingertips trailed under my shirt, touching the skin above my jeans. He kissed me. I caught his lips with mine, and his tongue slipped into my mouth. Warm, wet, we kissed like that for a while; slow, deep kisses that could easily combust in to something else..
…”I was prepared to wait it out,” Skyler said.
I stretched and kicked off my sneakers, wanting to free my feet. “Oh, yeah?”
“Yeah. You’re cautious these days.”
“I know.” He was right; I was.
“But it was kind of selfish, too. Like I wanted you around, but I wasn’t ready to be around for you.”
“But now…”
The kiss was playful and sweet, maybe because we were outside and there were people around. I found myself exploring and remembering his taste, his technique, the things he did with his tongue. He pressed a kiss on that spot from the night before, just below my ear, and I gasp-groaned softly, loving it.
“You can’t make noises like that.”
“Why not?” Opening my eyes, I tried to pull him back.
“Makes me think of other stuff,” he said, allowing himself to be pulled.
“Then you need to be more careful how you kiss me,” I said, touching his mouth.
Skyler leaned closer, kissing my fingertips. “I’ll be careful with you, but I won’t be careful with how I kiss you.”
“I want to touch you,” he whispered.
I knew he was waiting for me to stop him, but I wasn’t going to—not this, not now. I unbuttoned my jeans and then ran my fingers through his hair, letting him do the rest. He sat back on his knees, his eyes never leaving mine as he worked my jeans off. I shivered again, cold, and he peeled the comforter open, nodding for me to climb underneath with him. And then he kissed me, slowly. His movements became sensual as he slid his fingers down my stomach and into my underwear, finally touching me. Gasping, I tightened my grip on his shoulders. It all came crashing back to me, yet again, the crazy intensity of how he made me feel, inside and out. My body, yeah, but… my heart. I kissed him feverishly, pushing up against his hand, and he slipped his fingers inside, working them the way we both knew he wanted to work me. I moaned, incoherent with sensation, moving against his hand, closing my eyes to the brightness of feeling.
“I love you,” I whispered, sounding breathless and desperate even to myself.
His fingers moved faster and faster until I came, and then he kissed me hard, almost biting my mouth.
*SWOONY SIGH* I just adore how Rochelle allows us to experience the risks and rewards of relationships and love via her characters.
In addition to the great writing strong leading characters, Starry Eyed Inside also has several secondary characters that are memorable. Rory’s friends Teigen and Niki are awesome besties. They’re the best wing-women, advisors, and co-conspirators a girl could have. Like Rory, they also experience the ups and downs of teen-hood and show themselves to be terrific young women and the kind of friends we all need. Rory’s parents, Skyler’s best friend Kai, brother Rocco, and Skyler’s parents round out their support system.
I love every moment of watching Rory and Skyler grow up. They emerge from high school with resilience, an ability to forgive, and strength of character. By the time we get to the end of the book, even though the ending is satisfying, I want so badly to follow Rory and Skyler into the next chapter of their lives.
I highly recommend Starry Eyed Inside to all fans of YA/NA, particularly if you’re looking for a solid, romantic coming-of-age story. SEI is also perfect for the summer, as Rory, Skyler, and co. spend a lot of time traipsing through their favorite beaches, amusement parks, and malls… because Florida!

Happy Book Birthday Rochelle and BRAVA! Also, is there a chance of a college/post-college Rory/Skyler epilogue? *pouts*begs*

Criminal culpability for DCYF deaths
Legislators who publicly administered a tongue-lashing against Director Trista Piccola of the DCYF want to punish those criminally culpable for the horrifying death of yet another child in state care. Certainly the social workers, lawyers, supervisors, and others who showed callous disregard should be fired and referred to the Attorney General for possible prosecution. But can they be?
Here is the crux of a much larger systemic problem: despite enormous power to remove children from their homes and even to subject them to adverse conditions, the DCYF has never been accredited.
In 2010, years before Dr. Piccola arrived, both chambers unanimously approved bills to get this chronically inept department professionally accredited. This became law (RIGL 42-72-5.3 Accreditation) without the signature of Gov. Carcieri, who had been named a defendant in a lawsuit brought by his own Child Advocate.
In that same year, the legislature and governor obligated taxpayers for state loans of $75 million to 38 Studios and $5 million to Capco Steel. Both borrowers soon defaulted while the General Assembly never set aside funds to accredit the DCYF.
Rep. Steven Costantino, who chaired House Finance and promoted both loans, went on to direct the Department of Health and Human Services with direct oversight for the DCYF and the Training School for youthful offenders. By 2014, when I and others met with him, he showed no interest in accrediting those agencies even though RITS had spent 40 years under a federal consent decree, probably the longest in the nation, to address long-standing problems.
He touted the decreasing census at RITS without noting how many youth simply disappeared with no attempt to follow them. Some would later be found as victims or perpetrators of major crimes. Shelters contracted by the DCYF would eventually be closed with staff accused of sexually trafficking youth in state care.
Rhode Island has an entrenched culture of helping family members and friends get state jobs whether or not they are qualified. Once hired, those workers are often protected by public service employee unions that hold inordinate power over many elected officials because of the money and votes unions can deliver or withhold.
Vitriolic demands for Dr. Piccola’s resignation only reinforce this problem. Oversight Committee members insist she must fire workers who are not doing their jobs. But if she upsets the unions, their officers, members, and lobbyists will pressure the legislators to harass her and threaten her job, as some legislators did on television at the recent Oversight hearing.
“I think your whole department is a disaster and should be wiped out,” one representative exploded. That would only recreate the problem. Dedicated, seasoned workers would lose their jobs. Eventually the General Assembly would establish a new agency to protect at-risk children but without professional standards or an external system of accountability. Legislators would join the rush to get their family members into new state jobs. Public-employee unions would reinvigorate a culture of self-protection at public expense.
Rhode Island deserves far better than driving out any DCYF director who threatens the status quo. We need legislators with courage to establish a strict code of campaign finance reform to end the unions’ power over them. We need legislators to set aside funds for accreditation of the DCYF and to protect the director when she follows through and requires excellence from their staff. Let’s break the cycle of recrimination and undertake this deep cultural change to systematically raise standards for this essential Department to finally win and maintain professional accreditation.

Steam Client Beta Update Reveals Latest Steam Controller Design
Discussion in 'News' started by Omnomnick, Dec 16, 2014.
As with the last few designs, the most recent appearance of the Steam Controller has been unearthed from files contained within the latest Steam Client Beta update. The new design, shown below, appears largely similar to the previous iteration and features an analogue stick, four main buttons, and two touch pads.
The most striking change from previous designs is the appearance of a four-point directional guide on the left touch pad. It's not entirely clear just yet how the four-point guide will be used or what it's main purpose is, but we'd imagine the left pad may now be re-configurable to feature as a softer, more diverse alternative to the standard D-Pad by offering more directional input than just the standard four-points of motion.
While it has yet to be officially revealed by Valve, it's extremely likely this new design will be shown off in public for the first time at GDC 2015, as Valve's Doug Lombardi recently confirmed the company would have a "large Steam Machine presence" at the event in March.

I think they should try it with just one touch pad (the right one) as the one on the left seems to be redundant as there is an analog stick that would be good enough for movement and could aid the right most touch pad for cursor input. I think putting just a d-pad there would make more sense rather than making that touch pad also into a d-pad. the rest of the design i really like though, but as i see these iterations it starts to look more and more like a standard 360 or ps controller (which is not a bad thing).

I think It kind of is. The more and more it becomes a xbox controller the more the question is asked "Why not just buy an xbox controller". I really do miss that cool programmable touch screen concept. But this four-point directional guide on the left touch pad seems very interesting. Are they buttons within the touchpad or simply just artistic design? I mean they have to serve a function like buttons, don't they? We all know that up is up and down is down.

This is exactly right, we don't want another Xbox controller we already have a flood of those in the market. We want something different and the Steam Controller was exactly that, but it seems l like they are just changing it to something that everyone has already got.
Really hope they don't drop the touch pads on the controller because if they do then that would be extremely dumb.

I'm starting to question how many people will actually use this. The Xbox 360 and PS3 controller is already used by the majority of PC users, so theres no reason for them to exchange their already functional gamepad. Except if theres some clever business practice, that will somehow convince, that this gamepad is the new god.
#8 Lolcomputer, Dec 18, 2014

But it's not functional compared to what you can do with this controller. Supposedly it is pretty good at mouse emulation, well enough to make RTS games playable as long as they don't require really fast and precise actions. Controlling a mouse with a normal analog stick is no comparison.
I get your point, but if you're playing an RTS, or something like it, chances are you're already using a mouse.
For those who just wants to sit at the couch, I guess it's pretty handy and convenient, as it can play most PC games optimally (supposedly). But the controller is marketed for the Steam Machine buyers and not PC gamers, and thats why i think that it won't replace any sufficient portion of the Xbox or PS3 controllers. I don't think people wan't to spend their money on a gamepad, when they already have one they can play with.
#10 Lolcomputer, Dec 18, 2014
Except if there's some clever business practice.
How about this for a clever business practice: Everyone simply include a controller with every single steam box sold. Everyone; Alienware, OrginPC, Gigabtye, Falcon, so on. If I need a controller and this came free with it, I would definitely learn to get used to it rather than spend another $50 dollars on a controller.
#11 Sidedraft, Dec 18, 2014
For people who already have a controller, the Steam Controller would be rather useless. I'm simply worried that the controller might flop, as people are already using and familiarized with other gamepads. It's not exactly a stroll in the park, to intrude into an already saturated market and gain profit.
Yeah, people are going to buy the Steam Machine, and their going to get the Steam Controller, but I think that it's not going to be as universally used as the other gamepads. Either the Steam Controller has to be incredibly popular or extroadinarily cheap to overcome the other gamepads.
Just a thought. If Steam Controller fails to become the best gamepad, it's not really a big thing. The controller market is not small, but it's not going to drive profits down, because the Steam Machines are the main attraction.
I was under the impression that the Steam controller would have have easy to set bindings for all steam games, plus a crowd-sourced library of bindings made by the community. Seems like a clever business practice to me.

This controller is at the top of my list of a must-have piece of hardware next year.
I think people underestimate the contingency of gamers that have been waiting for some technological advancement in game controllers. I'm amazed no one before now has made commercially available a controller that has track/mouse/touch control.

Why a stick ? ' Useless so anti-ergonomic... A real desavowal.
Moreover, will developpers be as ready to use your new technologie if you let them the possibility to choose the stick ?
Very disappointed, I hope it'll change again.

That left "d-pad" touchpad could be useful in games like DOTA 2 where it might help replace keyboard hotkeys. I could be wrong, but since it's such a popular game I would guess Valve will want a way to play DOTA 2 from the controller.
On the other hand, I don't see pro players switching to a Steam Controller anytime soon. Not when millions of dollars are on the line in tournaments.

Some interesting parallels between very different traditions
by RudraShiva on 01.12.09 7:46
As we all know, the Asetian vampire is quite different from all other vampires out there. They are "divine beings", created out of Aset´s essence. They are not humans with damaged chakras but a type of being that is beyond the human condition. They need "life force" in order to survive in this world because of their high developed "energy body".
Well, reading some "manuscripts" from the Order of Nine Angles, I found an interesting description of some "acausal beings" which will sound familiar to some of you:
"Associated with Baphomet are other dark, female acausal entities, some of whom have existed, hidden, on Earth for millennia, and who maintain their causal, ageless, and secret, existence by feeding off the acausal life-force of their male human victims whom they entrap, and test, using sexual enchantment, and which victims die after all their life-force has been sucked away. These other entities are The Dark Daughters of Baphomet, and they - like their Mistress, The Mother of Blood, Baphomet - are thus, in a quite literal sense, beautiful, cultured, alluring but predatory vampires, whose needed and necessary food is not blood, but rather that acausal energy that animates human beings and makes them alive.
These vampiric beings - shapeshifted into alluring female human form - can spawn (and according to legend have spawned) half-human offspring if they so desire and if they find a suitable human male, as they can also gift that male, or other chosen human males or females, with the gift of a much extended mortal life in the realms of the causal, and can provide such chosen ones with the opportunity to egress into the acausal and thus life as immortal acausal entities, there."
Of special interest, in my opinion, is the fact that these "vampires" are not humans with a damaged energy sistem or something like that, but "acausal beings", that is, "divine" and immortal, who are also beyond the human condition. Also the relationship of these vampires with a female entity, in this case, Baphomet, the Mistress of Blood and the fact that they can turn a mortal into an immortal, make me think on the Asetian culture. I do not claim, obviously, a direct relationship between both traditions, but, anyway, I think these are interesting parallels and some "food for thought".

Re: Some interesting parallels between very different traditions
Quite interesting detail, actually. I wasn't aware of it. Thanks a lot for bringing this up, I'm interesting in digging it deeper...
by ElizabethBathory on 03.12.09 2:26
That makes sense. I've always considered Elizabeth Bathory (symbolism? I swear I've heard Mistress of Blood and Elizabeth Bathory together somewhere) to be a sort of patron goddess to me. But the whole targeting of men specifically has always seemed like some sort of projection of a male fantasy.
ElizabethBathory
Interersting comparison RudraShiva. Is it worthy to note that you could "christianize" these acausal female entities and call them succubi or lilin? The half breed offspring could also be called a cambium. And feeding on acasual life force is too similar to some dark demoness feeding on a human soul. Many cultures and religions have some version of this powerful, dark female figure. This appears a retelling of a familiar theme
From a website discussing the ONA:
"One of the aims of the ONA is the presence The Dark Ones: to return, to our causal Space and our causal Time, The Dark Gods. To unleash these entities upon the world and so cause Chaos, and that Change and evolution which will result. Thus will the Old Order - a now ever-increasing tyrannical order - be destroyed, and thus would a New Aeon begin. Thus will there be a significant evolution of ourselves, as individuals."
Do you think unleashing old gods in our present space/time
is a wise thing to do?
Hi Phoenix.
Absolutely, the succubi/lilin are a very closed description of that "acausal beings". Keep in mind that the ONA uses a specific clasiffication, that of causal and acausal, but all the stuff they talk about have been out there for thousands of years. That is one of the reasons I made this post, to show that, beyond the myth, beyond the forms and symbols that are used, there is a concrete reality. Maybe we can better understand what the "Asetian being" is by studying other traditions and perspective.
To unleash the spiritual forces is always a process of change and evolution. "White light religions" has always "worked" with the "dayside" of reality, or the Sephiroth. These forces represent the "Archonic world", the creation, order and structure of reality, as we know it.
Still, spiritual ascension has ALWAYS been a process in which you go from the formed world to the formless reality. No matter if your path is "dark" or "white", you always go from a formed and concrete state, to a formless and, thus, limitless state. Form our point of view, that of humans and finite beings, such a process is, actually, disruptive, as it destroys the old forms to give space to new realities.
In Tantra, for example, a system that is not divided in such stupid realities as "qlippotic/dark side" and "sephirotic/light side", spiritual ascension is a process of "destruction". It is said that Shiva´s third eye will destroy the universe. Why do you think is that?
The ONA is very "tantric" in that it is not dualistic. They understand the acausal/spiritual forces as:
a) Amoral: Since they are beyond duality, they also are beyond good and evil.
b) The cause of evolution and change: Not working "on their side" is the same thing as not "flowing with the Cosmos". In order to bring evolution and change, those forces need to be contacted, assimilated by our individual consciousness and then unleashed into the world. As "they" are a-moral and beyond duality, their manifestation in our reality will come freely, without restrictions, pure change: higher states of consciousness, war, murder, revolution, destruction....Chaos.
Maybe, just maybe, could it be said that the "Dark Gods" of the ONA are "qlippotic forces". But well, I think that is bullshit. You should understand the spiritual forces as what they ARE, without your dualistic human mind.
I do not interpretate the spiritual realities in terms of "white light religions"/hippy/new age stuff. Even the "Sephirotic forces" can take you to a formless state in which you can be percieved as a monster by inferior beings, in my opinion.
It is just a matter of perspective.
So, do I think that to unleash the old gods in our world is a wise thing to do?
by ElizabethBathory on 12.12.09 10:43
What is the deal with ONA anyway? For what it tries so hard to be, the texts radiate such positive energy. Anyone else get that? Like reading an ONA text makes me feel inspired to go better myself.

Review of B.C. health ministry firings ‘tainted,’ says former deputy minister
Rob Shaw, Vancouver Sun 11.21.2014
A review into the controversial firings of government health researchers is “tainted” because the same officials who crafted the review were involved in the terminations, says former deputy minister of health Graham Whitmarsh.

Vaughn Palmer: Health Ministry boondoggle defies resolution
VICTORIA — A review into the controversial firings of government health researchers is “tainted” because the same officials who crafted the review were involved in the terminations, says former deputy minister of health Graham Whitmarsh.
Whitmarsh, whom officials hope to interview as part of the review, was deputy minister of health at the time of the firings in 2012. He cited a short timeline, limited terms of reference and the conflicted involvement of several senior officials Thursday as shortcomings of the ongoing independent review.
In particular, Whitmarsh said he’s surprised Premier Christy Clark’s deputy minister, John Dyble, ordered the review and that the government’s head of the B.C. Public Service Agency, Lynda Tarras, drafted the terms of reference into what can be investigated.
Though Whitmarsh was in charge of ministry employees and therefore legally responsible for the firings, he said both Dyble and Tarras were involved in the process that led to the termination of eight health researchers in 2012.
“I must say I think the review is still tainted because Lynda Tarras was involved in some of the early interviews, she told me that in writing, with members of her staff that were involved in the investigation,” Whitmarsh said in an interview Thursday.
“The review should have been focused on a much broader time period, which would have allowed us to actually fully understand everything that happened.”
Whitmarsh said it’s a “significant and serious conflict” that Tarras and Dyble have crafted a process to investigate an incident in which they were involved.
Dyble ordered the review in October and asked Tarras to draft the terms of reference. Those terms won’t allow the reviewer, Victoria lawyer Marcia McNeil, to re-investigate the actual justification for the firings. Instead, it focuses on a six-month period in 2012 after the allegations were first received to determine whether proper human resource practices were followed. Many of the research and privacy breach issues are out of scope of the review.
As Clark’s deputy, Dyble is the government’s top civil servant and was fully briefed on the firings at the time, said Whitmarsh.
“Lynda and I briefed him on many occasions, individually and together, on the events and he had input into some of the key events as we went through the process,” Whitmarsh said.
“I think that just puts him in a difficult position with respect to directing and writing the terms of reference for the review.”
The government has put McNeil in a “very tight box” by narrowly limiting what she can investigate, said Whitmarsh.
“Clearly what she’s looking at will not result in the outcomes the minister of health and premier have said when they’ve said they will get to the bottom of this,” he said.
Opposition NDP leader John Horgan called Thursday for a fully independent review.
“Surely to goodness the premier recognizes that everyone around her is up to their neck in this file,” Horgan said.
Clark urged the NDP not to prejudge the outcome of McNeil’s probe.
Health Minister Terry Lake accused the Opposition of trying to ruin the reputations of civil servants, but refused to answer media questions outside the legislature.
The government fired eight people in 2012 amid what it said was a massive privacy breach involving health data research and concerns about contractual irregularities.
It has since settled three wrongful dismissal lawsuits out of court, reinstated two employees, settled three union grievances and apologized to another terminated employee.
Clark and Lake have also apologized to the family of Roderick MacIsaac, a PhD co-op student who was fired and who later committed suicide.
Whitmarsh said B.C’s independent auditor general should conduct the investigation.
Whitmarsh and his lawyer have outlined concerns in several letters to government in the past month. The government did change the terms to give McNeil more independence and more time. Her review is now due Dec. 19.
Whitmarsh said he was prompted to comment publicly because he felt the premier and health minister were blaming him in recent public comments.
Clark has called the firings “heavy handed” and pointed out the ultimate responsibility for the firings rested with Whitmarsh.
“I worked in government for a number of years at a senior level and I understand the language very well,” said Whitmarsh. “When the premier and health minister were making comments in public, for me it was completely transparent that they appeared to be prejudging the situation and trying to place the blame on me.”
Whitmarsh said he’ll meet with McNeil next week and then decide whether he’ll participate in the review. McNeil doesn’t have the legal power to force him.
Whitmarsh was fired along with several other deputy ministers in June 2013, after the Clark government won re-election. He received a severance of more than $400,000.

William Hodges Juvenal buried his son Julian today in the backyard of his house. Julian had died two days before at St. Judes Hospital after a protracted battle with Leukemia. After two years of chemotherapy and visits in and out of a dozen hospitals the little 11 year old boy finally let go of life and passed away quietly in his sleep.
William Hodges was not a religious man. He and his wife Katherine were bookish intellectuals who had subjected the existence of God to reason and had decided that they there is no God and that religion is a simply a man-made mechanism to keep society from sliding into anarchy. So being non-believers they did not go to a priest when their son died. Rather they held a simple civil service for family and friends at their farm on Long Island. When the guests left William went out into his garden, spent two days digging a hole, then lowered the body of his dead son into the ground and threw dirt over the grave.
Even though she was an atheist, Julian’s mother Katherine had grown despondent about burying her son in her own yard. Something began to stir in her soul—a longing for something spiritual to calm her anguished heart. She had begun to think that perhaps a proper burial with a minister or priest might have been better. As with many people who are confronting death, Katherine even began to think that there might just be some after life so shouldn’t her son go there rather than rot in the back yard.
Wiping away tears from her eyes, Katherine looked up at William as he came into the kitchen after having covered the grave. The way he calmly wiped the mud from his shoes—giving it no more thought than if he had been hoeing his tomatoes—seemed insufficiently reverent to Katherine. It was as if her husband had buried a dead canary or a cat and not his own flesh and blood. Her misery welled up in her eyes again and she began to sob.
“Would you like for me to fix you a Scotch?”, her husband asked. “Sure,” she said, “it will help dull the pain.” Even though he seemed rather nonchalant William was in deep grief as well. Both he and Katherine knew that when you lose a child it is as if a piece has been cut out of you. Where there once was the warmth of a little boy there is now an empty gulf, an ulcer writhing in pain, an oozing sore that would never heal no matter how many years would go by.
Katherine wanted to talk to her husband about their loss. William didn’t want to discuss anything. He preferred to brood over a book and try to reason away his loss by himself. So Katherine called her sister and they talked on the phone for hours.
As the days went by William returned to his study to work on his writing and Katherine returned to her studio to return to her painting. But neither parent could let loose of images of the young Julian at play. William, in particular, thought of how he and Julian would walk hand in hand in the forest of the farm looking for frogs. Julian would get frustrated with his father when he was 4 years old and go hunting for frogs all by himself. That Julian was bold enough to venture alone in the woods made his father proud. It also made him laugh the way the young boy said “it’s not fair” when William said he was too busy to go hunt frogs.
The loss of Julian tore at William’s heart, upended his emotions, and put him into a melancholy state. He tried to focus on his work but thoughts of his dead son cluttered his mind so he could not think clearly. Not all of William’s thoughts of Julian were sad. William reflected warmly on the cute way that William behaved. He laughed to himself when he recalled how Julian would fall down climbing through the brush of the family farm and then blame his fall on his father. He recalled how the boy would lie for hours on his bed talking to himself as all little boys do. “Who are you talking to?” William asked. “Nothing” the boy would answer not understanding the difference between a pronoun and a thing. And then there were the funny faces that Julian made. “Make a funny face for me Julian,” his father implored. Finally there was the way William could change his boy’s emotions from tears to laughter in seconds. If Julian was crying because he dropped his pancakes on the floor or if he had pinched his finger, William would hop around the room backwards on one foot, make funny faces himself and then Julian’s tears would stop instantly--he would then smile that wonderful cherubic child-like smile and burst out laughing. But all these pleasant thoughts dissolved into misery one morning when William walked into the basement and came across the pencil marks he had made on the wall to record the changes in his son’s height. It read “Julian 12/02/1999” and slightly higher up “Julian 10/14/2000”. William broke down and sobbed. He felt slightly ashamed of himself because he thought only women could experience such outward display of sadness. But then again he felt relieved because such outward displays of emotion were the way that one healed oneself.
For Katherine the way she thought of Julian was more, well, motherly. It tended to focus on not what the child did but how the child felt and how the mother felt about the child. Katherine’s her heart ached when she thought of Julian feeding at her breast for the first two years of his life. The life she had brought into the world began it’s first few minutes firmly clamped to its mother and hung tightly there for the first few years. Even as the toddler became a child and the child became a boy he would cling tightly to his mother’s skirts when strangers came to visit or when he was frightened by the dark. Katherine installed a nigh light in the young boys bedroom to keep the frightening dark at bay.
A few months after the home burial Katherine was sleeping in her bed while William read Robert Frost’s poetry while laying beside his wife. He reached up and switched off the lights and then fell fast sleep. Outside a full moon rose and a breeze picked up and the pines swayed in the darkness. From the window of their bedroom you could see the tiny marble headstone that marked the grave of the Juvenal baby.
Suddenly Katherine sat up in the darkness as she heard something or someone crying from the back yard. She listened closely again and thought she heard her dead son crying out “Mommie”. A chill ran across her body and she looked around the room at the moonlight spilling across the bed and the arm chair in the corner. “Wake up William” she prodder her husband. “Get up and look downstairs, I think I heard someone outside.” Groaning, William would not get up. “What? Huh? O.K.” William reached into his drawer and pulled out his pistol. Pulling on his slippers he climbed out of bed .
William heads out to the barn because he sees a shadow passing in the dark. On the way back to the house he stumbles across the grave of his son. With his flashlight he sees tiny footprints in the dirt around the grave. For some reason grass had not grown there.
The mother is not wakened anymore by the sound of Julian crying from the grave. But her mind begins to rethink its atheistic position. Perhaps she could think through the question of God again and either find Him or find spiritual solace. If she found a God then she might find a place for her son in Heaven. If she reaffirmed her atheism then she might at lest find solace from a spiritual awakening if in fact the two notions could coexist.
Katherine then recalls all that is wrong with religion in her mind. It’s a man made device she says and not something created by God. Think of all the wrongs that have been committed by the supposedly pious religious in the name of God. First there was the Insurrection where the Jews were expelled from Spain. Then there was the scandal of Lucretia Borgia, the daughter of the Pope who had an incestuous relationship with her father. The Vatican had been so corrupt for such a long time—selling tickets to heaven, maintaining an army--that Martin Luther grew fed up and started the Protestant faith. But the Protestant zealot John Calvin tossed heretical women into the river at Geneva. Then the Protestant faith splintered into the Anglican Church, the Pentecostal, Baptists, African Methodist Episcopalian, Seventh Day Adventists. All of these religions were just man made devices. There was nothing God like in their founding—only a differing interpretation of the Bible or a man made desire to make legal something with had been frowned upon by another church: divorce, polygamy, drinking.
She decides to reread Dante’s “Inferno”. While Dante’s poem is beautiful it highlights what she says is a flaw with Christianity. In the first circle of Hell Virgil meets Plato and Socrates. They are in a kind of limbo that might be purgatory. They are not subjected to the full wrath of Hell because they lived many years before Jesus appeared on earth and long before the Christian religion began. But what about all the babies and innocent mothers who were also born before Christ? Are they doomed to purgatory simply because of a fluke in the calendar? If God is benevolent why would he be so cruel?
C.S. Lewis’s “Mere Christianity” has more of a positive impact on Katherine. In this book length essay Lewis argues that there is a Law of Nature which all men know by instinct. This law says that there is a universal morality—what one culture agrees is bad, e.g. murder, is agreed by all cultures. So there must be a supreme being who put together this notion and implanted it in the minds of all Earth’s citizens. Lewis does an excellent job of arguing that there must be a God. Further he goes on to say that the Christian faith is the only correct faith. While Katherine is impressed by Lewis’s argument she is not yet converted to Christianity.
Then Katherine reads Cardinal John Newman’s “Apolgia Sua Vita”. She fancies herself a scholar but can barely understand this long boring book written in the 19th century. When it was published in England it supposedly caused many Protestants to switch to the Catholic faith. As we’ve already pointed out Katherine does not think much of the Catholic Church. She does however have great admiration for Pope John Paul II for he faced down the communists in Poland and help to bring about the collapse of the evil Soviet Empire.
Katherine’s belief in religion she often compared to that of Ivan Karamazov in the novel “The Brother’s Karamazov”. Ivan argues that logic would indicate that is no God. Moreover he says if there is no immortality then nothing is immoral. But the author of the novel Fyodor Dostoevsky is a devout Greek Orthodox Christian as was his contemporary Leo Tolstoy. So Dostoevsky’s own beliefs manifest themselves in the character of Father Zosima the elder monk at the monastery and in the way that Ivan is crushed by his atheism. Father Zosima says that you cannot reason your way to religion. Rather you must have faith. Yet another character in the novel, the Devil, who of course believes in God, says “Besides in matters of faith, proof, especially, material proof is pretty useless.”
Katherine puts aside this debate over religion long enough to motor over to the local mall to go shopping. She browses in and out of the Gap—the prices there are too high for a poorly paid artist. Looks in the window at Victoria’s Secret—her skinny frame and slight bosom would find no support there. And then runs into two young men dressed in black pants, white shirts, and ties who are giving out literature and talking to passersby. Katherine recognizes them as Mormon so she takes one of their brochures but politely declines their offer to talk at length. “I promise I’ll read this” she says as she walks away thinking “there is no way I will read this”.
Katherine decides to go to the local Episcopal church that Sunday. She notes how the preachers are always smiling. She recalled that Oscar Wilde said that preachers are always smiling because they repeat the same think over and over as they read from the Book of Common prayer. So they are glib idiots. Katherine looks around the church and sees people from the village that she’s know for years. She recalls how she criticized her own parents. They didn’t believe in God she said; they simply went to church because in the rural area where they lived it was just another social club: a place to meet friends and get invited to parties. When Katherine went to her grandparents Baptist church as a teenager all she could think was how cynical these supposedly pious people were. They smiled meekly at one another and said “God is Great” and “Praise the Lord”. But they fornicated, committed adultery, stole from one another, lied, and behaved just like the rest of us. And the church’s dogma fit neatly into their scheme because God said you can be forgiven for your sins if you just ask. So for the petty thief or the abusive husband, the sanctuary was just one great big revolving door of amnesty. Katherine left church that day feeling that much more down on religion. But still she wouldn’t give up searching for the sake of her own soul and that of her dead child.
Katherine goes to her studio one morning in April to work on her painting. Her work is abstract. She dashes colors onto the canvas with her brush and sees what shat manifests itself. After a week of dabbing blue here, brushing red over there, and spreading yellow in bright swirls she steps back from the painting to look it over carefully. She gasps and drops her coffee to the floor when she can clearly see what appears to be the face of her son Julian. His hands are folded like Raphael’s painting of the praying hands and he is looking up at a church steeple. She then begins to think again of what the Mormons in the mall told her about Joseph Smith’s vision in the forest. Could she be having a religious vision? Could she be slipping into some kind of psychosis? Her emotions were beginning to unnerve her.
Katherine is looking about the den a few says later for something to read when she picks up “The New Yorker” magazine. She reads a scathing indictment of the Mormon Church in advance of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympic games. She feels vindicated in her mistrust of religion when she reads how Brigham Young had 57 wives. Polygamy it seems was not scripture but just a way to sanction the many marriages kept by the church’s founder Joseph Smith. But then Katherine’s schadenfreud turned to interest as she read of the Mormon’s belief in the Baptism for the Dead. The New Yorker explained that through prayer a living Christian could cause the soul of a dead person to go to heaven. Hence the Mormon’s interest in genealogy.
Katherine decided to read further. She went Amazon.com and ordered “The Book of Mormon”. Then she visited the Mormon Church and talked with the elders and they agreed to teach Katherine about the Church of Latter day Saints and help her pray for the soul of her dead child.
In the months thereafter Katherine is busy with her painting and her new-found faith in the Mormonism. She wouldn’t call herself a Mormon yet but she did hold out hope that the Baptism for the Dead could help her reconnect with her son or at least spirit her son off to Heaven. That night she crawls in bed, reaches up and snaps off the light, and falls asleep.
William is sleeping beside her when he abruptly sits straight up in a cold sweat. “Did you here that? I can hear Julian crying out from his grave.” He turns to his wife but she is not there. Her side of the bed has gone cold. Leaping up from his bed he throws open the window and looks in the backyard at his son’s grave which is well lit in the full moon. Across the grave he can see a shadow in the spot where grass refuses to grow. William tosses on his bathrobe and dashes down the stairs, pistol in hand, and runs out to the back yard. At the grave of his son William doesn’t find a trespasser or ghost. Rather Katherine is lying there an afghan wrapped around her shoulders and The Book of Mormon lying at her side. She too had heard Julian crying out so she went out to be with him and comfort him.

B-17 salvaged from New Guinea swamp unveiled in Long Beach
From wire service reports
Posted: 06/11/2010 01:08:31 PM PDT
More than 68 years after a B-17E Flying Fortress crash-landed in a New Guinea swamp, the salvaged aircraft, nicknamed Swamp Ghost, was unveiled today in Long Beach.
A formation flyover by a vintage P-51 Mustang and P-40 Warhawk above the Long Beach Harbor began the ceremony to unveil the recovered bomber.
The event in the parking lot of The Reef restaurant, where the plane's remarkably intact front fuselage was displayed, also included a flag presentation by the U.S. Air Force Honor Guard and remarks from recovery team members.
Unfortunately, the aircraft's last four surviving crew members died shortly before Swamp Ghost returned to the United States. The plane's return was one of bombardier Richard Oliver's last wishes. His death last year denied him the privilege of seeing his warbird come home, but his widow, Linda, attended the ceremony, along with a handful of other air crew family members.
First spotted by an Australian Air Force crew in 1972, the effort to salvage and export the plane was initiated in the mid-1980s by the late Specialty Restaurants Corp. founder, World War II veteran and antique aircraft collector David Tallichet.
"My father was a young B-17 pilot flying out of England with the Bloody 100th Bomb Group during World War II," said John Tallichet, president and CEO of Specialty Restaurants.
"He never lost his passion for aviation or love of his combat aircraft, the venerable Flying Fortress," he said. "Sadly, my father could not be here to witness his dream fulfilled. However, my family is honored to continue his vision of preserving this invaluable relic of aviation history for the benefit of future generations."
In 1996, aircraft salvage efforts were continued by Aero Archaeology founder and aircraft recovery enthusiast Alfred Hagen, who has located seven missing World War II aircraft and returned the remains of more than a dozen missing-in-action airmen to the United States for burial with full military honors.
"Much of my work has been to honor those whom we have come to know as the Greatest Generation, and we look back on their accomplishments for inspiration," Hagen said.
Swamp Ghost will be restored, possibly to flying condition, for permanent display at an aviation history museum.

NEW WORK from BLANCHE BOYD
September 15, 2018 / Terence Hawkins
Congratulations to Blanche McCrary Boyd on the huge success of her first novel in twenty years! She was at work on it when she joined us in Brooklyn a few years ago. From these reviews, it was obviously worth the wait.
“Tomb of the Unknown Racist is a thrilling novel set in the shadow of the Oklahoma City bombing, the subculture of white supremacy, and deep state government. A family drama set against political and racial struggle, it is a tour de force end to a trilogy by a stunning writer whose work has offered a resonant survey of politics and activism across the American experience.” AMAZON, designating it a Book of the Month
“In this suspenseful novel, the last in a trilogy, Boyd gives a chilling portrait of the white terrorist network in the US during the time of Timothy McVeigh, convicted of the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing. Ellen Burns is watching TV with her mother in Charleston, South Carolina, in 1999 when she recognises her niece Ruby’s face in a news flash. Ruby’s two children have been kidnapped in New Mexico. Ellen’s brother Royce left Ruby and her Vietnamese mother in the early 1980s, when he disappeared into the white supremacist underground. He was killed in an FBI shootout in 1984. Ellen, who has her own radical past, risks her sobriety – and her life – as her search for Ruby’s children leads to unsettling revelations about her country, her family and herself.” BBC Book of the Month review.

TWO by HAWKINS on SUMMER READING LIST
August 01, 2018 / Terence Hawkins
The polymaths at Stuff to Blow Your Mind have released their summer 2018 reading list--and two of the twelve books were written by director Terence Hawkins. For those unacquainted, Stuff to Blow Your Mind is the science podcast of the How Stuff Works network. It regularly presents thoroughly researched, incisive discussions of topics at the intersections of technology, science, and philosophy. In this episode they discuss the role of Julian Jaynes' theory of the bicameral mind in Hawkins' The Rage of Achilles and Neanderthal-human interaction in American Neolithic.

I know the title sounds like a venue where a couple of guys would pass around a bottle of warm gin before curling up in their cardboard boxes, but Dumbo--like many New York nabes, like SoHo and TriBeCa, a realtors' acronym--is in fact one of the hottest and hippest areas in the City. This weekend, eight writers met in a Dumbo loft with novelists Louis Bayard, John Crowley, and Terence Hawkins.
MORE COMMENTS from the MASTER CLASS
Mary Ellen Connor Smith made the trek from Phoenix for a weekend in Brooklyn in January. Apparently she thought it worth while:
"With the Manhattan Bridge overpass traffic drumming above us, we gathered around a laden table at Superfine, a neighborhood bar and restaurant in Dumbo. What lay ahead of us was a week-end repast of writing nourishment: for starters, a seminar with Colum McCann on Saturday followed by the main course, a workshop of our current manuscripts on Sunday led by Blanche Boyd. McCann's teaching was fine and magnanimous, Boyd's workshop, keen and productive, but I most valued sharing the table in fellowship with other writers. I traveled from Arizona for the week-end and plan on doing it again anytime Terry Hawkins rings the dinner bell!"
writing, workshops, colum mccann, brooklyn
This from New York lawyer Michael Weinstock:
I really enjoyed my weekend with the program. Blanch is an extraordinary writer and an even better workshop instructor. She took the time to thoroughly read my submission and provide me with exceptionally valuable feedback. Colum and Terry were both very helpful towards helping me understand the mechanics of the book industry and how to find the right agent. While the Internet is a great resource, there's no substitute for communicating with accomplished professionals in the industry ... and this program gave me that opportunity. And lastly, the location was absolutely remarkable. I don't know which is better, the beautiful cobblestone streets of DUMBO or the imagery of the Brooklyn Bridge at dusk. Both are exceptional.
COMMENTS from the MASTER CLASS
January 16th through 17th saw a master class with Colum McCann followed by a workshop led by Blanche Boyd. The toaster oven for Most Miles Traveled goes to London's Gaylene Gould. Apparently Gaylene thought it was worth the trip, because she writes as follows:
"Thanks for an inspiring few days. The session really helped to get under the hood of my novel and I feel a much more competent writing mechanic as a result. The fact that it's two intense days means that I could fit this training easily into my life even with a 3000 mile flight !
"The structure was great - the mix of formal and informal gatherings, the great convivial space provided by Superfine Restaurant and Berls Poetry Shop and the level of writing mastery in the room from facilitators and participants."

The Persistence of Religion
Harvey G Cox and Daisaku Ikeda
Pinpointing the causes of conflict and the rise of radical religious factions as being poverty and disrespect of individuals, their countries and their cultures, Cox and Ikeda recommend a return to universal values underpinned by the recognition of human dignity and kindness—or, depending upon the author’s perspective, the presence of God in all and Christian love or inherent Buddhahood and compassion. In order to position human dignity and kindness as the core value of our lives, we need to undertake altruistic action for the happiness of others and strive towards the eradication of social injustice. In dialogue, universal values impart the humility and willingness to listen to others and, says Cox, whatever our worldview, “the frank recognition that we could be mistaken.” These three things help lessen the causes of conflict. Ikeda later supports this idea, stating that two of religions most important roles are “restoring human ties and making local communities, and society more generally, warmly humane.”
Cox and Ikeda call for a new stage of dialogue going beyond the recognition of our similarities in which we face and speak candidly about our differences, enabling true tolerance to emerge. Rather than being just the permissive acceptance that differences exist, true tolerance is the active appreciation of differences that opens up new horizons and creates new values without which nothing can change. “As long as we live,” says Ikeda, “we must always move forward, creating new values.” The authors look to religion to provide the spiritual strength and courage to choose dialogue and true tolerance over violence and conflict.

SHAMANISM OF THE AMERICAS
Native American Shamanism: Medicine Men/Women
Native American and First Nations cultures have diverse religious beliefs. There was never one universal Native American religion or spiritual system. Though many Native American cultures have traditional healers, ritualists, singers, mystics, lore-keepers and "Medicine People", none of them ever used, or use, the term "shaman" to describe these religious leaders. Rather, like other indigenous cultures the world over, their spiritual functionaries are described by words in their own languages, and in many cases are not taught to outsiders. Medicine man mediates with the spirit world on behalf of the community. Navajo medicine men, known as "Hata?ii", use several methods to diagnose the patient's ailments. These may include using special tools such as crystal rocks, and abilities such as hand-trembling and trances, sometimes accompanied by chanting. The Hata?ii will select a specific healing chant for that type of ailment. Navajo healers must be able to correctly perform a healing ceremony from beginning to end. If they don't, the ceremony will not work. Training a Hata?ii to perform ceremonies is extensive, arduous, and takes many years, and is not unlike priesthood. The shamanic apprentice learns everything by watching his elder teacher, and memorizes the words to all the chants. Many times, a medicine man cannot learn all sixty of the traditional ceremonies, so he will opt to specialize in a select few.
Santo Daime Church
Santo Daime, also know as the União do Vegetal or UDV Church, is a syncretic religion with elements of shamanism. They use a hallucinogenic substance called ayahuasca to connect with the spirit realm and receive divine guidance.
Mayan Shamanism
The Maya people of Guatemala, Belize, and Southern Mexico practice a highly sophisticated form of shamanism based upon astrology and a form of divination known as "the blood speaking", in which the shaman is guided in divination and healing by pulses in the veins of his arms and legs.
Peruvian Shamanism: Curaderos/Ayahuasqueros
In the Peruvian Amazon Basin and north coastal regions of the country, the healer shamans are known as curanderos. Ayahuasqueros are Peruvian shamans who specialize in the plant medicine ayahuasca, a hallucinogenic tea used for physical and psychological healing and divine revelation. Ayahuasqueros have become popular among Western spiritual seekers, who claim that the shamans and their ayahuasca brews have cured them of everything from depression to addiction to cancer. In addition to Peruvian shaman’s (curanderos) use of rattles, and their ritualized ingestion of mescaline-bearing San Pedro cactuses (Trichocereus pachanoi) for the divinization and diagnosis of sorcery, north-coastal shamans are famous throughout the region for their intricately complex and symbolically dense healing altars called mesas (tables). Sharon (1993) has argued that the mesas symbolize the dualistic ideology underpinning the practice and experience of north-coastal shamanism. For Sharon, the mesas are the, "physical embodiment of the supernatural opposition between benevolent and malevolent energies� (Dean 1998:61).
Tukano Shamanism of the Amazon
In the Amazon Rainforest, at several Indian groups the shaman acts also as a manager of scare ecological resources . The rich symbolism behind Tukano shamanism has been documented in some in-depth field works even in the last decades of the 20th century. For variations in shamanism among the several Tukano tribes, see: "Shamans, Prophets, Priests, and Pastors." For individual tribes of the Tukano, separate reports have been published, such as "Desana Shamanism".
Chile Shamanism: Mapuche Shamanism
Among the Mapuche people of South America, the community "shaman", usually a woman, is known as the Machi, and serves the community by performing ceremonies to cure diseases, ward off evil, influence the weather and harvest, and by practicing other forms of healing such as herbalism.
Argentinean Shamanism: Fuegians Shamanism
Although Fuegians (the indigenous peoples of Tierra del Fuego) were all hunter-gatherers, they did not share a common culture. The material culture was not homogenous, either: the big island and the archipelago made two different adaptations possible. Some of the cultures were coast-dwelling, others were land-oriented. Both Selk'nam and Yámana had persons filling in shaman-like roles. The Selk'nams believed their /xon/s to have supernatural capabilities, e.g. to control weather. The figure of /xon/ appeared in myths, too. The Yámana /jekamu?/corresponds to the Selknam /xon/.
Other Shamanism of the Americas
The yaskomo of the Waiwai is believed to be able to perform a soul flight. The soul flight can serve several functions. A yaskomo is believed to be able to reach sky, earth, water, in short, every element. Shamanism among the Y?nomamö (of the Venezolano Amazonas and the Brazilian Roraima) is described in Tales of the Yanomami by Jacques Lizot. There is Asurinà shamanism of Pará, Brazil. Harakmbut shamanism (of Peru) involves curing by dream-interpretion. In contemporary Nahuatl, shamanism is known as cualli ohtli ('the good path') leading (during dreaming by 'friends of the night') to Tlalocán. Shamanic practices are also present in tribes in northern Canada, such the animism and shamanism of the Chipewyan and of the Cree.

tv Anderson Cooper 360 CNN January 13, 2017 5:00pm-6:01pm PST
children grow up in the white house. thank you, jean casarez. and thanks to all of you for watching us. have a great weekend and of course watch "out front" anytime anywhere on cnn go. "ac 360 with anderson cooper" begins right now. good evening. thanks for join us. we begin with breaking news involving multiple facets of the russian hacking story and fallout from it. a closed door briefing by fbi director james comey where debbdebby wasserman schultz reportedly tore into him about the stolen e-mails that led to her ouster. the bigger development comes from the senate intelligence committee and bipartisan plans to not just investigate the hacking but contact between the trump campaign and the russian government. phil matingly, what are you learning about the scope of this investigation? >> broad and has potentially reel teeth. this is a powerful committee. this is a bipartisan
investigation agreed to by the top republican and the top democrat and as they pursue this investigation, this is a committee that has subpoena power. i said potentially because the senators will have to decide jointly to pursue the things that bring the teeth to this, most notably the subpoena power. but in their description of what this inquiry is going to entail, they make very clear they will be interviewing people in the incoming administration, the outgoing administration, the intelligence community, and those interviews, should they not be agreed with, the committee will not hesitate to subpoena individuals. there's no avoiding or dodging this committee. that's what makes it important. that's what makes it potentially powerful. it's a targeted look into this situation. that's also a big deal because it's not just a look at the assessment from the intelligence community into the russian meddling of the elections. they are going deep into specific pieces of that. those pieces could bring forth news we haven't heard about or
have had a lot of questions about. >> not naming him, is this directed in any way at president-elect trump's campaign team? >> important point. in kind of the announcement of this inquiry they do not mention the trump campaign or the clinton campaign. but the there's really only one way to read how this is targeted. you kind of hit on it. one of the ideas, one of the issues they will be delving into specifically is potential contacts between russian intelligence, middlemen for russian intelligence, and campaigns. there's really only one campaign that pertains to. i texted one senate aide earlier tonight and said is there any way to look at this other than a direct look into the trump organization, campaign, transition? one-word response -- no. this is targeted at the trump operation looking into how this all came to be. obviously looking deeply into russian intelligence and what they did as well. but there is one potential target, one real target and that is any connection the trump
campaign has had with russian intelligence services and more importantly any connection russian intelligence services had in helping the president-elect trump win that election, these are the types of things this investigation could unveil. >> let's be clear. this is supposedly a bipartisan investigation. right? >> that's exactly right. that's an important note on capitol hill. it's an important aspect of this particular committee pursuing this investigation. kind of an interesting development because 24 hours ago the republican chairman of this committee said he wasn't going to be digging into potential contacts between russian intelligence and the trump campaign, didn't want this to turn into a political firestorm, had a lot of individuals on capitol hill and some democratic senators wondering if it would have any teeth really matter at all. in 24 hours that changed, the direction of the investigation changed. i think that's why everybody on capitol hill, even though it came out on a friday night when the house and senate were out of session, getting a lot of e-mails and text messages saying people believe this is real and
could matter. >> phil mattingly, appreciate the update. fib director james comey's appearance on the hill generated heat. the latest on his clash with house democrats. the purpose of the briefing was to fill in members of the house regarding details of the russian hacking. that's not all they wanted to ask the fbi director. >> they wanted to ask also about the hillary clinton e-mail vex and how that came about, especially his october surprise letter 11 days before the election in which he informed members of congress there were new e-mails they had found and they had essentially reopened the investigation. the interesting context is that jed there was a senate briefing and we had a lot less fireworks. what happened was in the senate they had about a couple hours to talk to james comey and all the other intelligence chiefs. in the house today they had only about an hour because of
scheduling issues. it apparently got heated. we're told in the senate briefing comey was able to provide more information in what happened, they had found e-mails in an unrelated investigation into anthony weiner, and what comey told the senate members was simply that the fbi had found all these new classified e-mails, e-mails they had not seen before, but at the end of doing their investigation they determined that hillary clinton had not violated the law, the same conclusion they reached previously. apparently in the house briefing it didn't go so well. because of the lack of time and because they had so many more questions about the clinton e-mail investigation and why comey had handled it the way he did, things turned a lot more fiery. >> what do we know about the confrontation or words between the former dnc, debby wasserman schul schultz, and the fbi director?
>> you'll remember these e-mails were hacked by russian intelligence agencies and published by wikileaks showed a lot of very embarrassing facts about debby wasserman schultz, ended up costing her her job right before the democratic national convention. so she fronted james comey to ask him why didn't you call me? why didn't you pick um the phone and say this is what we found the russians are doing? there was a lot of pushback between the two. comey said we did try to call your general counsel. the fbi tried multiple times to try to make sure they understood what the dnc, understood what the gravity of the situation was. and the dnc did not take it seriously. there was definitely a very tense moment there. other members of congress emerged from that thinking comey should go. a few of them said they think he should resign. >> congressman debby wasserman
schultz just released a statement. what did it say? >> she said -- i'll read it. "as a member of congress, i will not compromise information learned and discussed in a classified briefing. however, the fbi director must clarify for the american people the agency's policies for investigating and alerting those hacked by foreign governments. there are further questions that must be answered by director comey who must provide more clarity on this and other questions that have arisen surrounding fbi's handling of russian hacking during the 2016 election cycle." one part of this is that democrats i think are frankly in a bit of a pickle. some of them want james comey to be tossed out because they feel he handled this so badly, cost hillary clinton the election, he ought to be fired. the problem with that is that now what you are doing is giving donald trump a pick for fbi director and i'm not sure that's exactly what they want. they're in a very difficult
political situation. we'll see how it turns out. right now donald trump has already said he doesn't know whether james comey should stay in this job. we'll see what happens. thank you very much. maggie haberman, paul begala, kayla mcmain knee. maggie, this is a bipartisan committee but a republican controlled committee. the chairman said it was critical to understand the scope of russia's influence in the u.s. election. does it with the support of mcconnell. >> this will be a difficult thing for the incoming president to contend with. >> why? >> you'll have a parade of witnesses, subpoena power. they'll look at any connections -- there have been allegations about this from democrats for a while, trump's
denied it, between his campaign and russian officials. the fact this will be taking place under oath potentially ups the stakes. not what an incoming president wants to do, especially someone like donald trump who has set expectations high and still has the realities of washington. this is going to be an unpleasant situation. it will not be comfortable for him. it may not prove something but it's not a great issue and one he feels delegitimizes -- >> important point, alex. for this president-elect he feels this an attempt to delegitimize the election results. and if this continues, this commission moving forward can only just continue to drip, drip, drip this story and that doesn't serve his purpose. >> right.
on a basic level even before a witness is called this lends a certain level of gravity to the charges about potential connections or motives adjusting u. u.s./russia policy that voters are hearing about. to maggie's point, the relationship between donald trump and the senators who control the balance of power in this republican senate, it's a very, very small margin of control, is already really tenuous. the relationship between trump and the chamber hinges in a lot of ways on republicans who are hawks in general and hawks on russia in particular. as fragile as that relationship already is, you could imagine a committee like this testing it every day. >> kayla, couldn't this be an attempt by republicans, understandable, to get this issue out of the way for the president-elect? that's a positive way to look at
it for the president-elect. >> absolutely. i think you've seen republicans asking questions of the intelligence community, democrats asking questions. fairly common to do this. when the president-elect takes office, they'll hit the ground running. he listed his priorities, repealing obamacare, the wall, on and on. those will be his priorities. yes, this will get headlines, but the president-elect's priority is the american people and he won't take his eyes off that. >> this is a reversal for senator burr. >> big time. senator burr from north carolina signed on to be one of donald trump's national security advisors during the campaign.
color me skeptical about richard burr's bipartisan credentials but he got mark warner to sign on to this investigation. democrats have a lot of faith in him. the things we know are stunning, the rugs hacked the democrats, did it because they preferred trump, and putin approved it because he preferred trump. we know they timed it to do maximum damage to democrats. we don't know if trump's campaign know or collude. >> u.s. intelligence says this is what they believe. it went to the highest levels and that means putin. they haven't said we know 100% vladimir putin -- >> i watched the public testimony. they said with high degree of confidence and director clapper said my resolve is more solid today than when i first issued the report back in october. you're right, i was probably too hard to say we know.
our intelligence community, all 17 agencies, say with the highest level of certainty they can muster this is true. we don't know where the investigation will go. >> we heard rex tillerson say based on his knowledge of russia this is something that would have likely have gone to the top. not a conclusion that's being challenged from the other side. >> we have to take a break. more to talk about including strong words from john lewis. why he says donald trump is not a legitimate. and more on the senate investigating possible contact between moscow and the trump team. focusing attention on the national security advisor designate and his text to russia's ambassador to the u.s. and the timing of it. americans - 83% try to eat healthy. yet up 90% fall short in getting key nutrients from food alone. let's do more. add one a day women's
complete with key nutrients we may need. plus it supports bone health with calcium and vitamin d. one a day women's in gummies and tablets. i need to promote my new busi can make that happen.et. business cards? business cards, brochures, banners... pens? pens, magnets, luggage tags, bumper stickers. how about foam fingers? like these? now, get 15% off making your company stand out. staples. make more happen. see me. see me. don't stare at me. see me. see me. see me to know
that psoriasis is just something that i have. i'm not contagious. see me to know that... ...i won't stop until i find what works. discover cosentyx, a different kind of medicine for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. proven to help the majority of people find clear or almost clear skin. 8 out of 10 people saw 75% skin clearance at 3 months. while the majority saw 90% clearance. do not use if you are allergic to cosentyx. before starting, you should be tested for tuberculosis. an increased risk of infections and lowered ability to fight them may occur... ...tell your doctor if you have an infection or symptoms... ...such as fever, sweats, chills, muscle aches or cough. or if you have received a vaccine or plan to. if you have inflammatory bowel disease, tell your doctor if symptoms develop or worsen. serious allergic reactions may occur. see me. see me. see me. on my way. find clear skin... and a clearer path forward. for a different kind of medicine, ask your dermatologist about cosentyx.
civil rights icon and democratic congressman john lewis says he will not consider donald trump a legitimate president and says he's planning on doing something he's never done since being elected to congress. >> i don't see this president-elect as a legitimate president. >> why is that? >> i think the russians participated in helping this man get elected.
and they have destroyed the candidacy of hillary clinton. i don't plan to attend the inauguration. it would be the first one that i miss since i've been in the congress. you cannot be at home with something you feel that is wrong. i think there was a conspiracy on the part of the russians and others to help him get elected. that's not right. that's not fair. that's not the open democratic process. >> congressman lewis says he believes russia helped destroy hillary clinton's presidential campaign and conspired to help donald trump win the white house. back with our panel. paul, i get he doesn't like donald trump or doesn't want to accept the results of the election. is this helpful in any way to have john lewis, highly respected for his civil rights record -- if a republican said this about a president-elect
hillary clinton democrats would be up in arms. >> if a republican said barack obama wasn't born in america, we need to see his birth certificate, that would be an outrage. no evidence obama was born in kenya yet trump pushed that. that tape, that's coming from a mace of pain. i think democrats need to accept it. but the problem that trump has is he hasn't brought john lewis on board who should be easy. he is not a very partisan guy. he is an icon of the civil rights movement, believes in the beloved community martin luther king preached. trump only has a 37% approval rating in his transition. 37%. george w. bush who many people thought was illegitimate, like me, was at 61%. very brief transition because of the recount, spent that time building support across the aisle. trump has done nudone of that. >> is it the job of donald trump
to reach out to john lewis? john lewis, we should say he believes in forgiveness and trying to work with people. but saying donald trump is not a legitimate president won't help the working relationship. >> it won't. i would disagree with paul. he has tried to reach out during the transition. we have seen a fairly fruitful relationship between president obama and president-elect trump. lewis is putting a liberal leftist above being an american, putting self-interests and part zap interests above american interests. that is a despicable comment to not show up for the inauguration. if he thinks russia's destroyed hillary clinton's chances, he needs to look inward. what destroyed her chances were a private server in a basement, bernie sanders damning the kand da di before it began, he need to stop blaming a great guy,
frikt james comey and stop blaming the russians and look inward. >> maggie? >> i think congressman lewis as a civil rights icon is going to come at this and be seen from a different perspective and through less of a lens of partisanship. i think there is a risk for trump this does seep into the consciousness. you have other electricitied officials who will say something like that. it will aggravate trump. he does not like the view that his presidency could be an asterisk in some way. i think if trump -- it is not just that he has not really reached out to the other side. he has been in campaign mode eventually since the election. and that has not really changed. there have been elements where he has certainly had conversations with president obama, they have spoken a bunch,
he spoke to chuck schumer then called shum err clown for disagreeing with him on twitter. that might bring them cover but this is not exactly more harmony. i think there is a greater risk for donald trump in this than there is to congressman lewis. >> alex, i come back to i just remember before the election there was all this talk of would donald trump accept the results of the election and there was a lot of handwringing what if he doesn't and how terrible that will be. can't republicans point to john lewis and say that's what john lewis is doing? >> sure. i think a lot of republicans will see this as a comment that crossed the line although they'll be careful about taking on john lewis personally because of the status he enjoys sort of historically in american politics. i think paul mentioned briefly george w. bush. when you talk to folks who were involved in george w. bush's first term, coming into office with more people having voted for somebody else, they talk about how politically perilous that was and how important it was to do these kind of
ostentatious and in many cases substantive displays of bipartisan, working with ted kennedy and no child left behind in that first year, it was important for him to convince americans not that he was a legitimate president because people by and large accepted that but that he was able to represent everybody, right. when you look at the polling for trump, it is why what lewis is saying is dangerous for trump as well, that he comes in on weaker footing than any president he's had in modern times. that's why plenty of democrats would prefer that john lewis not go out there and say this because for a lot of sort of more cautious people in the party, they think the circumstances speak for themselves. >> i understand maggie's point about attacking schumer on twitter. i understand that. that was after him personally being attacked. but i disagree with the notion entirely that trump hasn't reached across the aisle. >> i didn't say that. >> he brought al gore into his office. >> i didn't say that. >> he brought union leaders into his office. >> director of -- >> this notion he hasn't tried
to be bipartisan i think is false. >> what i said and i think that's what you're responding to is she has continued his slash and burn approach, very different from george w. bush. i think most people will see the election and the presidency as legitimate but i think that for trump going in as alex said with such a perilous approval rating, that's just the reality. things are going to get difficult. >> we have to leave you there. enjoy the rest of your friday the 13th. more tonight on donald trump's national security advisor designate michael flynn, his ties to the russians. ugh. heartburn.
sorry ma'am. no burning here. try alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. they don't taste chalky and work fast. mmmm. incredible. can i try? she doesn't have heartburn. alka-seltzer heartburn relief gummies. enjoy the relief. asmy family tree,ing i discovered a woman named marianne gaspard... it was her french name. then she came to louisiana as a slave. i became curious where in africa she was from. so i took the ancestry dna test to find out more about my african roots. the ancestry dna results were really specific. they told me all of these places in west africa.

the senate tlgs committee announcing plans to investigate the russian meddling in the election including officials soeshed with political campaigns. one name stands out. michael flynn stands out. more details from chief national security advisor correspondent jim sciutto.
>> reporter: tonight confirmation that president-elect trump's national security advisor general michael flynn was in contact with the russian ambassador to the u.s. the very same day the obama administration announced retaliation for russia's unprecedented cyberattack of the 2016 election. in late december the trump transition team says flynn and a russian ambassador exchanged a series of text messages and a phone call. on christmas day, december 25th, flynn texted the russian ambassador, "i want to wish you a merry christmas and happy new year. i look forward to touching base with you." the russian ambassador wished him a merry christmas again. then the russian asked to give flynn a call. that phone call happened december 29th, the same day the white house announced sanctions on russia and ordered some 35 russian diplomats to leave the country immediately.
trump's transition team says the men did not discuss sanctions on russia. instead their conversation was focused on arranging a call between rgs president vladimir putin and president-elect trump after the inauguration. today the white house says its reaction depends. >> you could imagine why these kinds of interactions may take place. why the incoming national security advisor may have the need to contact the representative of a foreign government based here in washington, d.c. depend op what they discussed. de did he understand on what he said. >> reporter: flynn's ties to russia have been scrutinized since the moment trump tapped him to be the closest adviser on national security. flynn was seated right next to president putin at a russian media gala in december of 2015 and had a paid speaking gig with russia today, the kremlin's tv network, before taking on a formal campaign role.
today trump denied claims that russia has compromising information on him and continued to accuse intelligence chiefs of leaking allegations. he tweeted it was probably leased by intelligence in quotes even though there is no proof and never will be. >> jim, i understand a transition official told cnn the two men are not in frequent contact. is that the case? what else do we know? >> reporter: that's right. not frequent contact. they say on that december 29th conversation the day of those new sanctions being imposed on russia the two men did not talk about the sanctions but they have talked about many other issues like when the russian ambassador was killed in turkey also an invitation from russia for the u.s. to participate in syria peace talks. so an ongoing conversation but of course as relations between the u.s. and russia have gotten worse particularly over the election related medley. >> jim sciutto, thanks very much. coming up after the break, donald trump has said he'll
build a wall. now he says mexico will reimburse the united states for it. and later a child stolen at birth, an extraordinary story, found today 18 years after being snatched from a hospital when she was just 8 hours old. the woman accused of the kidnapping has been arrested. details ahead. able foundation. a body without proper foot support can mean pain. the dr. scholl's kiosk maps your feet and recommends our custom fit orthotic to stabilize your foundation and relieve foot, knee or lower back pain from being on your feet. dr. scholl's. knows how it feels to seees your numbers go up, despite your best efforts. but what if you could turn things around?

of course it was a big deal in donald trump's campaign, build a wall, make mexico pay it more than making americans paying for it and trying to get mexico to pay us back. >> we're going to build a wall. i could wait about a year and a half before we finish our negotiations with mexico which will start immediately after we get to office but i don't want to wait. mike pence is leading an effort to get final approvals through various agencies and through congress for the wall to begin. i don't feel like waiting a year or a year and a half. we'll start building. mexico in some form, and there are many different forms, will reimburse us and they will reimburse us for the cost of the wall. >> mexico obviously said
repeatedly it's not paying and that's not the only hurdle mr. trump will face as he tries to build it. there are legal obstacles, environmental laws. but cnn has learned trump's team is talking with the u.s. army corps of engineers. there was a visit that happened last month. >> reporter: the interior department is one of many agencies that would be involved if a wall is built along the southern border. it overseas federal land and as you said environmental laws. a u.s. official tells me there were members of trump's transition team there at the agency. they had several questions, some of their questions included, you know, how many miles of wall would be necessary to properly secure the southern border. they also wanted to know how long it would take to construct a wall given potential legal complications or legal obstacles. the source telling me it
appeared as if members of the transition team were trying to gauge what were the potential regulatory obstacles that might get in the way of building the wall. >> what about contact with the army corps of engineers? >> reporter: a dod official telling cnn members of trump's team have been in contact with the army corps of engineers, specifically the southwest division, that has constructed fencing in the past along the border. we are told some of the questions the team asked included cost, they wanted to know about cost and they also wanted to know how they were able to construct that fencing previously. we know the army corps of engineers would be the ones to execute this project. >> donald trump has always made the distipgs between fencing and wall.
the department of homeland security would also have to prepare for the president-elect's plans. >> reporter: absolutely. the information i'm getting is the moment that donald trump was elected as president conversations began at the department of homeland security. and those discussions essentially were in preparation for the scenario that one day they are told that they have to make this happen. so a part of those conversations involved identifying what's the priority area along the southern border. where would we start? where would we start first as it relates to erecting that wall? that's the nature of the conversations that have been happening at dhs. we should point out we did reach out to the trump transition team but did not receive a response. >> rene marsh, appreciate it. jeffrey lord and robert reich joining us. secretary reich, how realistic
is it for the president-elect to say mexico will reimburse for the wall? >> it's completely ridiculous. the president of mexico two days ago assured mexicans there was no way mexico is going to pay for this wall. this is a folly. the wall itself is a folly. it's based on a very big lie that donald trump told over and over during the election, that we have a gigantic problem of undocumented workers coming in from mexico. in fact the reality is that there is a dramatic decline in the number of undocumented workers coming into this country even though the department of homeland security is saying that. this wall will be expensive, costing -- the best estimate, most accurate and detailed estimate is $25 billion. think of all of the education, all of the kids, all of the
health care that we could be providing for $25 billion and american taxpayers are going to be stuck paying this. >> jeff, what about that? the mexican president said mexico isn't paying for the wall. >> we're seeing a negotiate with the man who wrote "the art of the deal." he knows how to build buildings and walls and is very good at it. two, as you've hinted at here, anderson, visa fees, border card fees, wire transfers, there are all manner of things, trade negotiations that will result in payments from mexico to the united states. so i'm very confident his ability to do this. >> i want to play something that president-elect said about the wall during his press conference the other day. >> i say who's going to pay for
the wall? they will scream out mexico. now, reports went out last week, oh, mexico's not going to pay for the wall because of a rebim ursment. what's the difference? >> is there a difference between payment and reimbursement if the u.s. is actually reimbursed for the price? >> in economic terms, yes. mexico supposedly would reimburse or pay, not a great deal of economic difference, but there's no reason to suppose that mexico wants to do this. the argument that after all donald trump wrote the book, "the art of the deal," makes that possible, is utterly foolish. it's not politically realistic. donald trump may be a good deal maker when it comes to business, and i'm not even sure of that, or erecting giant edifices like trump tower, but when it comes to actually political, i remember political negotiations, there's no evidence he
understands anything. mexico is our ally, our southern border. we need and have maintained and must have good relationships with mexico for all kinds of reasons. we are dependent on them as they are dependent on us. we don't want drugs coming in from mexico. we need mexico's cooperation on guns and drugs, mexico's cooperation with regard to trade. mexico is a gigantic and important ally. >> if they were such a good partner we wouldn't have this problem in the first place. >> as i said, there is no problem here. if you've listened to what i say. if you listen to what the experts are saying there is no problem. we know even the department of homeland security is saying that there is no problem of actual mexicans crossing the border illegally. it has gone down. we have the lowest level right now of interventions of mexicans
crossing the border since 1973. and that's not just because we are -- we are spending $8 billion already a year on border patrols, but we've been spending that for years and the rate is going down. >> go ahead. >> mr. secretary, if you would listen to the cnn town hall last night you would have heard a woman stand up and talk about her son who was killed by an illegal immigrant who was deported several times. they are here. they are doing these things. we have to have control of our border. this is a country of immigrants. >> this is sort of policy making my anecdote. wait a minute. can i say something here? >> wait a minute. >> policymaking by anecdote is not accurate. look at the data. i know the trump administration doesn't want to look at the data with regard to the environment and global warming and climate change and intelligence and russia. you have to look at data.
there is such thing as facts in the world. >> all i can tell you is i listen to all sorts of experts quote the data in this election and they said hillary clinton was going to be elected president and they were wrong. >> does that mean we live in a world in which there are no facts? this is what interests me because whether you're talking about mexican illegal immigration or about the intelligence community and russia and hacking or you're talking about climate change, are we now living in a world or soon to live in a world under donald trump in which truth and facts are all just the basis -- >> truth, facts and -- >> jeffrey, we have to go. >> truth, facts, and science, i might add, matter. >> all right. >> glad to hear that. >> we'll leave the conversation will the. secretary, jeffrey, thank you. when sasha and malia obama wept to check out the white house in 2008, the bush daughters showed them around. now they have advice for them.
i love my shop, but my back pain was making it hard to sleep and open up on time. then i found aleve pm. the only one to combine a safe sleep aid plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. now i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. i need to promote my new busi can make that happen.et. business cards? business cards, brochures, banners... pens?

like to be the daughter of the president. sasha and malia are getting advice from two other sisters who know what they're going through. >> eight years ago on a cold november day we greeted you on the steps of the white house. >> barbara bush sharing the new letters she and her sister jenna have written to the obama girls. a lot has changed since the twin first met sasha and malia. back then, the girls were 7 and 10. >> you had no choice but to move into. when you slid down the bannister of the solarium, just as we had done as 8-year-olds and again as 20-year-olds chasing our youth, >> in eight years you have done so much, you have seen so much. you stood at robben island.
>> reporter: they penned a letter to sasha and malia in 200 2007. and they offered this advice, surround yourself with loyal friends, and join in on some of the fun and enjoy the history. and cherish your animals. because sometimes you'll need the quiet comfort that only animals can provide. their most important piece of advice? our dad like yours is a man of great integrity and love. remember who your dad really is. >> it's really an exclusive club among presidential children, and they do keep in touch. there's an empathy there because they've all been through it, and no one knows what it's like to be in that kind of public spotlight when you're so young. >> reporter: in their new letter, barbara and jenna bush told sasha and malia how
impressed they were. their letter encouraged the obama girls to hold onto the memory but also embolden them to chart their own bapath. >> explore your passions, enjoy who you are. make mistakes. you're allowed to. continue to surround yourselves with loyal friends who love you, adore you and will fiercely protect you. >> take the less ons you have learned and let those guide you in making positive change. >> reporter: in closing, a sense of solidarity. >> you have lived through the unbelievable pressure of the white house. you have listened to criticism of your parents by people who have never even met them. as always, they will be rooting for you as you begin this next chapter. and so will we. >> and randi joins us now. it's really nice, the idea of
grown kids giving advice to others who are now going through what they went through. it's not unique to the kids of course. >> absolutely not. the parents do it. the first couple is given advice as well, because i guess as a first child you get pretty lonely even with the secret service and all those around. but years ago, barbara bush told hillary clinton she should bring someone chelsea's age to spend time there as much as they could to keep chelsea company, because it does get so lonely. >> you have a documentary tonight at 9:00 about michelle obama and her legacy. >> yeah, we take a look back during that special hour. her journey, really from the south side of chicago where she grew up very poor. she went to princeton and harvard, and she eventually became this very reluctant campaigner. then when her husband wins the white house she becomes this mom in chief and then eventually a voice for so many women and girls around the world.
so we have a clip. >> and i have to tell you that i can't stop thinking about this. it has shaken me to my core in a way that i couldn't have predicted. >> she was the most profound feminist without being labeled that, because she stood up for girls, and she stood up for women when they were being bullied from the most powerful platform in the world. >> she spoke for so many women when she said i feel this in my core. this is unacceptable. >> because remember this. when they go low, we go -- [ crowd chants "high" ] >> michelle slayed a dragon.
that's when your mom had come to school and gotten the bully and said "not my girls." the voice that she gave to women and girls, that's her legacythe top is what it meant for everybody and also for african-americans to see her as first lady. >> i look forward to that. randi, thank you very much. stay tuned to the top of the hour when randi hosts, the legacy of michelle obama. the amazing story of a kidnapped child 18 year the later.

Movie Review : The Accidental Prime Minister
By Shikipedia | January 13, 2019 - 7:34 am | January 13, 2019 Bollywood, Movie Reviews
The Accidental Prime Minister: Too Accidental to be a wholesome Movie
Bollywood has never had a decent political thriller till date. Every time it tries it has fallen flat excluding one exception which was Prakash Jha’s “Rajneeti”.
“The Accidental Prime Minister” is one such attempt based on the book written by Sanjaya Baru of the same name which chronicles Dr Manmohan Singh’s journey as a Prime Minister from the eyes of Sanjaya when he was the Media Advisor in the PMO.
This movie is unabashedly a strategic move before the election as the movie is complete anti Sonia and Rahul Gandhi. It basically shows how Sonia had the leash of the UPA government and how she manipulated various decisions making Dr Manmohan Singh just a puppet in the hands of the party.
Adapted screenplay has been credited to a group of writers including director Vijay Ratnakar Gutte, Mayank Tewari (Newton Fame), Karl Dunne and Aditya Sinha. The problem is, that there is no screenplay whatsoever, and you feel the scenes have been directly taken out from the book and the dialogues written on set. Another problem of the movie is the format, as it is neither a docudrama nor a full-fledged movie. The screenplay goes back and forth with no reference point. It deals with a lot of issues like the nuclear deal, the 2G scam but none is shown with a precision and left half baked. More emphasis is given on the various political big wigs who play the power game than to the happenings. The central character or the narrator Sanjaya Baru keeps on talking to the audience, somewhat like House of Cards wherein Kevin Spacey speaks to the viewers, but that concept is stretched so much that you tend to feel irritated after some time. An extremely shoddy work in writing. The dialogues also sounds forced.
If there is anything working for the movie it is the performance of Akshaye Khanna who plays Sanjaya Baru convincingly and earnestly. I truly feel Akshaye Khanna is the most under rated actor of Bollywood. Anupam Kher as Dr Manmohan Singh tries hard to copy his mannerisms and also succeeds, but in copying Dr Manmohan Singh’s mannerisms Anupam Kher forgets to give some depth to his character. Though we cannot blame Anupam Kher entirely because the writing was so shoddy, but somehow Akshaye Khanna rose up to the shoddy writing which Anupam couldn’t. Other actors like Suzanne Bernet, Arjun Mathur, Aahana Kumra, Divya Seth and the rest of the cast look and sound like caricatures.
Technically also the movie is extremely shoddy, especially the VFX. The VFX is so substandard that you can make out that the actors are actually standing in front of a Green Screen.
Director Vijay Ratnakar Gutte whose previous movies Badmashiyan and The Film Emotional Atyachar was nothing to write home about comes back with another shoddy product. He definitely needs to hone his directorial skills to take up such a subject.
It is so sad that such a good content went waste and what we are given is a half-baked, half done movie. You really feel that the movie was made in a hurry with the election in mind, I will go with TWO STARS.
Movie Rating: (2 / 5)

Woman charged in death of toddler
Victalina Mendoza Cruz (KTRK)
HOUSTON (KTRK) -- A 24-year-old Houston woman has been charged in the death of a two-and-half-year-old child, who police say was pushed into a door frame.
Court documents allege Victalina Mendoza Cruz was caring for her boyfriend's child, Keaton Veerasamy, on January 27 in their southeast Houston apartment, in the 11,000 block of Fuqua when police were called to a drowning.
Police say they found Cruz performing CPR on the child. The child was taken to Texas Children's Hospital where he died Saturday.
Police say that during an investigation, Cruz admitted that the child was crying and she pushed him into a door frame. Police say Cruz told them that the boy was still crying and she picked him up by the arm, slapped him and then threw him on the floor. According to court documents, Cruz told police she put the child in a bathtub and 10 minutes later found him face-down in the tub.
The medical examiner's office told police the child suffered a fractured skull, according to court documents.
Cruz has been charged with injury to a child and was released on $50,000 bond.

The X-Files, Fight the Future: Bee Movie
Posted in movies tagged Cigarette Smoking Man, death, illness, the Lone Gunmen, The X-Files, Well-Manicured Man at 1:13 pm by Jenn
Not the best picture of Mulder and Scully, really
Summary: Mulder and Scully have made it to the big screen! But first, we take a trip to Texas in 35,000 B.C. Two cavemen hear a screeching noise while checking out a cave. One finds another caveman trapped in something that looks like amber, then gets attacked by an alien. The second caveman finds his buddy dead and goes looking for his attacker. He comes across the alien, which attacks him as well. The caveman has a weapon and stabs the alien, which bleeds black oil that infects the caveman.
In the present (judging by the fact that the cavemen didn’t have jean shorts), a kid named Stevie falls into the same cave after digging around in the dirt with some friends. He finds a skull, then sees black oil seeping out of the ground. It crawls up his legs and under his skin. His friends ditch him and run home. Sometime later, firefighters arrive and one goes into the cave to get Stevie. His captain loses contact with him, which can’t be a good sign.
Next a team in Hazmat suits shows up and gets the civilians off the scene. They take the boy away in a sealed container, transporting him by helicopter. Some big trucks drive in, and Bronschweig, the man in charge of securing the scene, calls someone to report that the impossible scenario they didn’t bother to plan for now needs some sort of plan.
A week later, an FBI agent named Michaud is helicoptered to a roof near Dallas’ Federal Building, where he instructs other agents to make absolutely sure there’s no explosive device inside. Scully’s also on a building roof, letting Mulder know via phone (“Mulder, it’s me”) that no bomb has been found, despite a threat being called in. She uses, like 100 words to talk about how they need to follow the rules but still might not find a bomb. Anyway, Mulder’s there now, talking about hunches and expecting the unexpected.
Scully warns that Mulder needs to stop thinking unconventionally like he did when they were working X-files. He can’t be looking for things that aren’t there. Mulder jokes that they should call in a bomb threat in Houston so they can go to a game at the Astrodome. Scully tries to open the door letting them off the roof, telling Mulder it’s locked – “so much for anticipating the unforeseen.” She’s just messing with him. “I had you,” she gloats.
In the lobby, Scully continues teasing Mulder, saying she saw panic on his face. He claims she’s never seen him panic. He heads off to buy them sodas from a break room, but the machine doesn’t work. I guess he didn’t anticipate that unforeseen complication either. Mulder sees that the machine is unplugged, which gives him an idea. Unable to get out of the room (the door really is locked), he calls Scully in the lobby and lets her know he found the bomb in the machine.
With just under 14 minutes left on the timer, Mulder tells Scully to evacuate the building. She immediately gives orders to the people workers there, then calls Michaud to tell him he’s looking in the wrong place. Michaud and his agents hurry over to save Mulder (taking their sweet time – the counter’s below five minutes now). Scully calls and Mulder tells her he’s now making his not-panicking panicked face.
Michaud cuts through the door and the agents study the bomb. He says he can defuse it, but he wants everyone to leave. Mulder hesitates to leave him behind, but Scully makes him go with her. Instead of working on the bomb, Michaud sits and watches the timer count down. Mulder realizes that something’s wrong and turns back to the building. Scully insists that he head off to safety with her, and they drive away as the bomb explodes. “Next time, you’re buying,” Mulder tells Scully, because even though a man just died, he wouldn’t be Mulder if he didn’t make jokes.
The agents go back to D.C. and attend a review led by an agent named Cassidy. (Mulder’s late.) She tells them that five people died, including a young boy and three firemen. Mulder’s surprised to hear that the firemen were in the building – the agents were told that the building had been evacuated. Cassidy sends him away so she can question Scully first.
Mulder anxiously eats sunflower seeds until Skinner leaves the review to talk to him. He says Cassidy wants to know why Scully wasn’t in the right building. Mulder says she was with him. Skinner says that the city of Dallas sustained $45 million of damage, then that people are dead, as if the money is the more important thing. There also haven’t been any arrests, so the FBI is being scrutinized. Where did they screw up? Who will they be blaming?
Mulder’s willing to take the blame since he didn’t follow protocol. He feels horrible that he left Michaud alone with the bomb. But Scully also wants to take responsibility. She sends Skinner back into the review, then tells Mulder that the two of them are being given separate assignments. Scully hasn’t made a difference in the FBI, and she’s not going to be happy if she’s transferred to a field office somewhere. She wonders if Mulder’s heart is still in the work.
After the review is over, Mulder goes to a bar and gets hammered. He tells the bartender that he’s in charge of investigating aliens, but no one believes him when he tells them what he’s found out. They think he’s just running around, screaming that the sky is falling, but when it really happens, it’s going to be horrible. The bartender decides it’s time to cut him off. As he leaves, Mulder realizes that a man who was watching him has already left.
He goes to use the bathroom but finds an out-of-order sign on the door, so he does his business in an alley. The man from the bar approaches him and asks if the FBI is accusing him of screwing things up in Dallas. The man, Dr. Alvin Kurtzweil, has been watching Mulder since he started at the FBI. He also knew Bill and says that, back when they worked together, they could have been called “fellow travelers.” Mulder wonders if Kurtzweil is a reporter. Kurtzweil says he’s an OB/GYN and knows something about the bombing that Mulder hasn’t been told.
Mulder says Kurtzweil can talk until Mulder hails a cab. Kurtzweil tells him that Michaud never tried to defuse the bomb. He also knows that the bomb was put in that building, not the Federal Building, because FEMA had a quarantine office there. The four supposed victims, other than Michaud, were dead before the bomb exploded. Mulder scoffs at the idea that Michaud didn’t try to stop the bomb, but Kurtzweil knows that the bomb was detonated so people could hide something – possibly something they couldn’t predict.
Mulder still thinks Kurtzweil is nuts, so he leaves him there on the street outside the bar. He starts to go home, then decides to go to Georgetown to see Scully, even though it’s 3 in the morning. She wonders if he got drunk before or after he decided to come see her. Mulder makes her get dressed so he can take her somewhere.
Back in Texas, the site around the cave has been turned into a research facility. CSM arrives to see what Bronschweig and his team have found. He thinks the fireman’s arrival raised the body temperature of someone already in the cave. That someone is the amberfied caveman, who is basically alive because of the black oil, though he’ll never recover from the infection. CSM wants to use the vaccine/cure on him; if it’s unsuccessful, they’ll burn his body “like the others.”
Mulder takes Scully to Bethesda Naval Hospital, where they’re told they can’t access the morgue. Mulder bluffs their way in, pretending they were summoned by the same general who has declared the morgue off-limits. The agents find the body of one of the firemen, which has something sticky all over it. Scully diagnoses a cellular breakdown of his tissue. She can also see that, despite what they were told, the body hasn’t been autopsied yet, so the report stating his cause of death as injuries from the explosion is false. Scully says she’s not sure anyone could determine a cause of death.
She realizes that there must be some sort of cover-up happening. Mulder says he has a hunch that whatever Scully finds from an autopsy, it won’t be something they can explain. But he’s being blamed for Michaud’s death, so he’d like to know what killed him. He knows Scully would feel the same if she were in his position.
While Scully gets to work, Mulder goes to Kurtzweil’s house, which is being searched by the police. A detective tells Mulder that Kurtzweil is being investigated for child pornography. Mulder finds books on Kurtzweil’s shelf about the apocalypse and tells the police not to bother letting him know if they find the doctor. As Mulder leaves, he spots Kurtzweil, who says the investigation is an attempt to discredit him. He claims that FEMA, which is super-powerful, wouldn’t normally be involved in the investigation of whatever’s going on in Texas. It must be bigger than they’re letting on.
Kurtzweil continues that he and Bill once looked into a case involving biological warfare. He thinks now they’re looking at “a plague to end all plagues.” For 50 years, the government has been working on a planned Armageddon. FEMA will end up in charge. Mulder thinks Kurtzweil is even more paranoid than he is. Kurtzweil warns that if he doesn’t go back to Texas, he’ll be as in the dark as everyone else in the country, and by the time he catches on, it’ll be too late.
Scully autopsies Michaud, finding something crystallized inside his body. She’s able to hide in another room before guards can see her. Mulder calls (“Scully, it’s me”) and she tells him that Michaud was infected with something. He wants them both to go to Texas, though Scully has to go back to the review hearing the next day. As they’re talking, Scully hears the guards approaching and has to hang up so she can hide again.
Mulder goes to Texas alone and learns that FEMA found some bone fragments from an archaeological site. Scully joins her partner and tells him that the infection she found in the fireman’s body could lead to a major health threat. Mulder has Scully look at the bone fragments, even though they weren’t found near the explosion site. Scully’s stunned by what she sees under the microscope.
At the cave site, Bronschweig prepares to administer the vaccine/cure to the amberfied body. However, he realizes that “it’s” left the body, which means it’s gestated. “So much for little green men,” he says. Bronschweig decides to use the vaccine/cure on the now-sentient black oil, which looks like an alien, but it attacks him before he can. Bronschweig begs his crew for help, but they’re not about to let him come out of the cave and risk spreading the infection.
WMM is enjoying tea in England when he gets a phone call alerting him to “a situation.” CSM has arranged a meeting in London, as ordered by someone named Strughold. WMM meets up with the rest of the Syndicate there, and Strughold tells them that they need to reassess their role in colonization. The Elder clarifies: “The virus has mutated.” They’re now dealing with a new alien biological entity.
WMM says this is spontaneous repopulation, not colonization. This means they’ve been used and lied to this whole time. Strughold says they’re going to turn over a body infected by the new entity and tell “them” what the Syndicate has found. WMM thinks this will ruin them, but Strughold says it’ll buy them time to work on the vaccine/cure. CSM reveals that Mulder saw one of the infected bodies, which means someone tipped him off, probably Kurtzweil.
Though Kurtzweil is a kook and no one will believe him, at least according to WMM, the others know that they need to remove him from the equation. They also need to take out Mulder. WMM points out that that will just make him a martyr for his cause. Strughold says that, in that case, they need to take away “what he holds most valuable – that with which he can’t live without” [sic, ugh].
Mulder and Scully go to the cave site, but all traces of the investigation have been removed. Mulder sees that the grass at a nearby playground has recently been laid, and Scully can tell that the equipment is new. Stevie’s friends approach but won’t answer the agents’ questions about the playground or their new bikes. They also don’t believe that Mulder and Scully are FBI agents, since they look like door-to-door salesmen. When Mulder flashes his badge, one of the boys tells him that the crew left an hour ago.
The agents follow their trail, wondering what they’re transporting in their unmarked tanker trucks. They can’t decide which direction the crew went, left or right, so Mulder drives straight onto a dirt road. He boasts that he’s never been wrong in the five years he and Scully have worked together – “not driving, anyway.” The agents end up in the middle of nowhere, and Scully regrets coming to Texas in the first place. She doubts that the crew is hauling a virus in the tanker trucks. Mulder finally tells Scully that the virus might be extraterrestrial.
A train comes by, giving Mulder an idea. Well, really, two ideas, one of which is to follow the train. The end up at a site that looks like the one set up during the cave investigation. Scully wonders why there’s a cornfield around it, since they’re in the desert. They go inside a domed building, which Scully thinks is a venting system on top of a larger facility. There’s humming below them and catwalks above. Someone has definitely figured out they’re there, and the response is to release hundreds of bees.
The agents run for it, managing to escape without getting stung. They see lights approaching and realize they’re being pursued by helicopters. They run back through the cornfield, crouching down at one point to avoid detection. They get separated, so Mulder gets to run through the corn, yelling, “SCULLAY!” They both make it out of the cornfield, realizing that the helicopters have disappeared.
Scully makes it back to D.C. for the hearing, where she presents the bone fragments. Meanwhile, Mulder meets with Kurtzweil and tells him about the tanker trucks. Scully tells the hearing panel that Michaud may be involved in whatever’s going on. Mulder tells Kurtzweil about the bees and corn. As Cassidy questions Scully about the investigation, a bee crawls around Scully’s back. She admits that she’s working with Mulder again.
Kurtzweil and Mulder think that the corn is a way of carrying a virus contained in altered pollen. Mulder’s annoyed that Kurtzweil doesn’t have any answers; he doesn’t think Kurtzweil even knew Bill. In fact, he suspects that Kurtzweil has been using Mulder to get information. Kurtzweil points out that Mulder wouldn’t have known where to look without his help. He thinks there’s a reason Mulder and Scully were allowed to leave Texas alive. As Kurtzweil leaves, Mulder realizes that someone was listening to their conversation.
He goes home and looks through a photo album, seeing Kurtzweil in an old picture. Scully arrives and announces that she’s being transferred to Salt Lake City. She’s not willing to make the move, so she’s resigned. Mulder tells her she can’t quit now – they’re close to finding something. Scully asks him not to drag her into something crazy yet again. She’s ready to walk away. Mulder says he needs her, but she disagrees – she’s only ever held him back.
Mulder goes after Scully to argue that she can’t resign with a clear conscience. She reminds him that she was brought in as his partner to debunk his work. Mulder says that she really saved him with her science and reason. “You kept me honest,” he says. “You made me a whole person.” He owes her everything but she owes him nothing. Mulder isn’t sure he wants to move forward alone, or if he can, but he knows that if he quits, the bad guys win.
The two give each other meaningful looks for a while, then hug for an even longer while. She kisses his forehead, and after some more meaningful looking, Mulder moves in for a real kiss. But that STUPID FREAKING BEE interrupts them by stinging Scully. Mulder says it must have gotten in her shirt (unlike him, who won’t get into her shirt for another season or so). Scully immediately starts feeling like something’s wrong; it’s like she’s having an allergic reaction without having a bee allergy.
Mulder calls paramedics and tells them that they may be dealing with a virus. Instead of telling Mulder which hospital Scully’s being taken to, the paramedic driving the ambulance shoots him through the window. Moments later, an ambulance presumably carrying real paramedics arrives. Meanwhile, Scully’s taken to a plane, where CSM is ready to take her somewhere else.
Mulder wakes up in the hospital with the Lone Gunmen standing over him. He calls them the Scarecrow, the Cowardly Lion, and Toto. They tell him the bullet only grazed him, but he’s been unconscious for a while. Mulder wants to go look for Scully, but Skinner comes in and stops him, noting that the bad guys will never let him find her. Mulder suggests that he and Byers trade places, which fools the person watching his room, allowing him to leave the hospital undetected.
WMM tracks down Kurtzweil and corners him in the alley behind the bar where he and Mulder keep meeting. When Mulder arrives, he finds only WMM and another Syndicate man in the alley. They tell him that Kurtzweil has already come and gone. WMM invites him into his car so they can discuss a way to save Scully. He gives Mulder a vaccine/cure that he has to administer within 96 hours, and the coordinates where he can find his partner.
WMM admits that the virus is extraterrestrial, and though they don’t know much about it, it was the original inhabitant of the planet. He waxes poetic about a virus being a “colonizing force” that can’t be defeated. It lives underground until it mutates and attacks. Mulder can’t believe that the Syndicate has been working to conceal a virus this whole time. WMM says he has it all backwards – today’s deadliest viruses are “newborns.” The one they’re dealing with now has been around longer than humans.
Aliens sent the viruses here centuries ago, and they’ve been waiting to be awoken. Humans will be the hosts. The vaccine/cure is humanity’s only defense. Bill was one of the people trying to conceal the truth. Without the vaccine/cure, humans will become slaves to aliens. Now the virus is gestating, and it’s time to fight. WMM only wants the truth out now because he wants to protect his family. He knows he’ll be killed for telling Mulder everything.
Mulder asks where Kurtzweil is, but WMM won’t tell him. Mulder demands to be let out of the car, so they take him back to the alley. WMM warns that the Syndicate will stop at nothing to accomplish their goals. They ordered WMM to kill Kurtzweil, and now he’s supposed to kill Mulder. Instead, he kills his driver and tells Mulder to “trust no one.” WMM tells Mulder that the alien colonists don’t know about the vaccine/cure yet. If he can find Scully, he’ll understand how huge the project they’ve been working on for 50 years is. Mulder leaves, and WMM gets back in the car, which immediately explodes.
48 hours later, Mulder’s in Antarctica, on the hunt for Scully. The coordinates WMM gave him have led him to a spot near yet another investigation site. As he’s approaching, he falls through the snow into a tunnel. There’s a hole leading deeper underground that eventually takes Mulder to a cave containing frozen bodies, at least one of which is an alien. CSM arrives at the site and sees that he has a visitor. Mulder goes through a tunnel into a cavern filled with frozen bodies.
Using binoculars, Mulder is able to spot a container he figures is Scully’s. He slips on his way down and almost falls into the bottomless pit that the cavern leads to. He manages to grab on to something and make his way to Scully’s container, but only her cross necklace is inside. He checks out the rows of bodies and finds her frozen. As guards move in to intercept him, Mulder frees Scully from the ice and administers the vaccine/cure. It works immediately, pulling the virus from her into the cave’s weird life-sustaining system, but he can’t finish disconnecting her from the system before the cave starts to quake.
Someone tells CSM that there’s a contaminant in the system. CSM realizes that Mulder has the vaccine/cure. Mulder finishes freeing Scully as the facility’s apparent self-destruct system goes into effect. CSM orders everyone to abandon the facility, predicting that Mulder and Scully won’t make it out alive. Mulder takes his partner back the way he came in as all the frozen bodies start thawing. One of the aliens is really ticked about being trapped in ice.
Scully stops breathing, and Mulder has to put her down to revive her. “I had you big-time,” she teases. The trapped bodies start trying to break free of their frozen prisons, and somehow steam is released. The agents are able to get out just before an alien can get a good hold of Mulder and pull him back inside. They climb back to the surface as the ice around them starts to break and the whole facility collapses in on itself.
The agents can’t outrun the deepening pit, but something rising out of the ground pushes them back up, saving them. It’s a giant UFO. Mulder isn’t sure Scully sees it before it’s gone, but she assures him she saw it. He’s exhausted, so she cradles him in her arms, right at the edge of a gigantic ice canyon.
Back in D.C., Cassidy addresses Scully and Skinner as someone steals the bone fragments. Cassidy says that Scully’s report is implausible, and nothing in it really points to domestic terrorism. The bone fragments end up in a tanker truck supposedly transporting corn oil. The corn in Texas is set on fire. Scully gives Cassidy the bee that stung her and says that she doesn’t think the FBI currently has a devision that’s equipped to continue the investigation.
Mulder reads a news article about the hanta virus being contained in Texas. Scully joins him and he complains that the truth is once again being buried. Scully says she told the whole story, but Mulder knows it won’t make a difference. They’ve been here before, right next to the truth, and once again, they’re being knocked back to the beginning. Scully was right to want to quit. She’d be safer away from him, working as a doctor. Scully refuses, saying her work is with him. There’s a cure for the virus she was exposed to; they could save other people. She takes his hand and repeats what he said about the bad guys winning if she quits now.
In the desert of Tunisia, a helicopter delivers CSM to a cornfield. He tells a man that Mulder has seen more than he should, and now he’s determined to uncover the truth. The other man says that Mulder’s just one man, and “one man alone cannot fight the future.” CSM hands over a note he received, which the other man reads, then drops in the sand. It’s a telegram announcing that the X-files division has been reopened.
Thoughts: This movie features a cavalcade of stars:
Kurtzweil is played by the recently deceased Martin Landau.
Michaud is played by Terry O’Quinn, in his second role in the series.
Cassidy is played by Blythe Danner, who I love, and who should have had a bigger role, and who better be in the Will and Grace revival.
Strughold is played by Armin Mueller-Stahl.
She’s uncredited, for some reason, but the bartender Mulder mopes to is played by the also recently deceased Glenne Headly.
Once again, thanks, writers, for names like Kurtzweil and Bronschweig that I had to type over and over. We need more Smiths, Lees, and Kims on this show.
Whoever wrote the line “that with which he can’t live without,” your third-grade English teacher is weeping somewhere.
Aww, ‘bye, WMM. You were the only bearable part of the Syndicate.

BSC #128, Claudia and the Little Liar: The Baby-Sitters vs. the Red Scare
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, Haley Braddock at 8:21 pm by Jenn
Claudia’s ponytail looks weird
Summary: While Claudia’s sitting for the Braddocks, Haley lies about a homework assignment and Claudia accidentally rats her out to her parents. Haley’s mad that Claudia got her in trouble, so she tries to turn all the kids she knows against the BSC girls, saying they’re all spies for the kids’ parents. After all, the parents are the ones who pay the sitters, so why wouldn’t the girls tell them what they want to hear? Haley tries to drum up some anti-spy sentiment, just like a little Joseph McCarthy.
This continues forever, with Haley telling lie after lie and getting in more and more trouble with her parents. The other kids side with her; apparently it makes more sense to them that their beloved sitters are the bad guys than that Haley is just a pathological liar. Claudia keeps sitting for the Braddocks, and things get so bad that the Braddocks decide Claud shouldn’t come over anymore until they figure things out with Haley.
Eventually Mary Anne comes up with the idea of role-playing: Haley and Claudia will act out one of the situations that led to lying so that the Braddocks can figure out what really happened. It doesn’t go well – Haley just lies some more. But then she gets upset and runs off, so Claudia follows to talk to her, and gets her to admit that she’s having trouble with her schoolwork. Since Claudia can sympathize, she’s not really mad anymore. And now that the truth is out, Haley can stop lying about freaking everything.
The B-plot is about Claudia’s relationship with Josh, her previously friendzoned boyfriend. Turns out he should have been left in the friendzone, because they don’t really like each other like that. Well, Claudia doesn’t like him like that. I’m not convinced that he doesn’t just pretend to say the same thing so they can stay friends.
The C-plot is about how Kristy is coaching a girls’ basketball team. I guess Kristy’s good at every sport?
Thoughts: Can there really be Nancy Drews that Claudia hasn’t read yet?
How did the Braddocks not notice that Haley was having problems with her schoolwork? I always thought they were pretty attentive parents.
I miss awesome Haley. Come back, awesome Haley!
BSC #123, Claudia’s Big Party: This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, Janine Kishi at 6:32 pm by Jenn
That bag of spilled food makes me sad
Summary: In a nutshell, Claudia throws a party and gets caught.
In a larger nutshell, Mr. and Mrs. Kishi go out of town for a few days and let Claudia and Janine stay home by themselves. Claudia’s been having trouble finding time to hang out with all her friends – the BSC girls and the friends she made while she was in the seventh grade – and she decides that throwing a party is a good way for them all to get to know each other. Janine okays the idea, and they decide not to ask their parents’ permission.
The party gets off to a bad start when uninvited guests show up. Apparently someone (LOGAN) mentioned the party to a few non-BSC people and said it was okay if they came. This means there isn’t enough food for everyone. (I don’t know why they don’t just order another pizza.) Janine is supposed to be in charge, but she’s been feeling lonely thanks to her lack of boyfriend and being distant from her friends, so she just hangs out with her sister’s friends and doesn’t act like a chaperone.
Josh also gets more and more annoyed because things are getting out of control and he doesn’t get to spend any time with Claudia. (That’s an ongoing theme in the book. Josh is a tiny bit annoying.) It’s not like anything scandalous is going on, though. The kids are decorating cookies and listening to music and eating pizza. My friends and I had crazier parties, and trust me our parties were the exact opposite of crazy. But some of the kids do get a little rowdy, and a vase gets broken, and suddenly we’re supposed to think they’re in a war zone or something.
Then Russ and Peaches stop by and bust their nieces for throwing a party without their parents’ permission. All the party guests get kicked out, and Claudia and Janine dutifully clean up the house, dreading their parents’ return. When Mr. and Mrs. Kishi do come home, the girls rat themselves out before Russ and Peaches can, but their parents’ anger is soothed by the fact that the girls have cleaned everything up and cooked dinner. Oh, and their friends replaced the vase.
In the super-stupid B-plot, the Korman kids have been fighting, so Mary Anne pretends they’re locked out of the house to make them work together. No, that’s really it.
Thoughts: If I were the Kishis, I might actually be glad that Janine broke some rules. This is the most normal thing she’s ever done.
Mrs. Kishi, freaking out about leaving the girls alone at home: “If you do feel ill…” Janine: “I’ll call the pediatrician, Russ and Peaches, the Simpsons, the neighbors, and put an ad in the paper.” Heh.
Janine’s discovered the Internet, so now she’s unstoppable. And despite her high intelligence and academic leanings, I bet she still likes cat pictures.
Hi, girls? It’s not your job to fix sibling rivalries. Your job is to keep the kids alive until their parents come home. If you keep doing the parents’ job, they’ll never learn.
BSC #117, Claudia and the Terrible Truth: Bummerville, Population: Everyone
Posted in books tagged actual sad moments, BSC, Claudia, pointless B plots at 6:32 pm by Jenn
Sorry, I am out of snark at this time. Please check back later
Summary: Claudia starts sitting a lot for Nate and Joey Nicholls, and immediately realizes that there is something Very Wrong. Their father is very strict, going off about the slightest things and obsessing about cleanliness and organization. The boys are terrified to do anything that might make him mad. They’re also not allowed to have any stuffed animals, which is really depressing. Claudia thinks Mr. Nicholls is just strict, and since she’s just the sitter, she can’t really say anything about his behavior.
…Until one day when Mr. Nicholls, thinking Claudia has left, yells at the boys and possibly slaps one of them. Claudia calls an emergency BSC meeting (one of the few times that’s actually a good idea) and tells the other girls what happened. They agree that since she didn’t see the slap, she can’t accuse Mr. Nicholls of anything, but it doesn’t sit well with them. Claudia’s mom works with Mrs. Nicholls, so Claudia tells her what happened, and Mrs. Kishi agrees to talk to her.
Mrs. Nicholls tells Mrs. Kishi that nothing happened; her husband just has a temper, but he’s not dangerous. However, the BSC girls become even more suspicious when Mrs. Nicholls calls to cancel all the sitting jobs she’s lined up with them. A few days later, recurring character Erica Blumberg calls Claudia, knowing she’s sat for the Nicholls boys before. She’s sitting for them right now, and one boy has bruises on his arm while the other has a black eye.
Claudia immediately calls her mom, who takes Mrs. Nicholls home to get the boys. Claudia gets restless waiting to hear back and decides to go over as well, to at least give Erica some support. Just as she, Mrs. Kishi, and Mrs. Nicholls get there, Mr. Nicholls also shows up. There’s some yelling in the house, but everyone except Mr. Nicholls leaves in Mrs. Kishi’s car. They take Erica home, and the rest of them go to Mr. Kishi’s office in Stamford, knowing Mr. Nicholls won’t think to look for them there.
Mr. and Mrs. Kishi help Mrs. Nicholls arrange to stay with her sister in New York, then buy her everything she’ll need for a car trip there. Once everyone is safe for at least the night, Claudia and her mom both break down, emotionally worn out. Late that night, Claudia gets a call from Mr. Nicholls demanding his kids back. She’s understandably shaken. The Nichollses end up leaving town, with nothing completely resolved, and though Claudia’s sad that she might never see the boys again, she’s glad they’re safe. She also buys them stuffed animals.
The B plot is about the BSC girls organizing a bunch of kids for a St. Patrick’s Day parade. Top o’ the boring to ya.
Thoughts: Is everyone sufficiently depressed? I need to go look at some pictures of puppies now.
Claudia is completely awesome in this book, though. When she sees something, she says something. She would make a good New Yorker. My only problem is that when the girls are discussing the events at the end, they agree that Claudia was right to tell someone, and agree to tell each other if something like this happens again. I think they should have been encouraged to tell an adult instead.
Mrs. Kishi is also awesome here. She gives Claudia good advice, immediately takes control when she finds out what’s going on, and comes across as someone you don’t want to tick off.
For a small town, Stoneybrook sure has a lot of parades.
Erica gets invited to a BSC meeting. Wow, she breached the inner sanctum! Oh, the things she must have seen.
BSC #113, Claudia Makes Up Her Mind: Bad Idea Jeans
Posted in books tagged breakup, BSC, Claudia, pointless B plots at 8:15 pm by Jenn
Josh looks ten. Mark looks annoying
Summary: Remember when Claudia was bumped back to seventh grade? Apparently she’s done really well there. But instead of having her continue to repeat the year, her teachers and guidance counselor decide to give her the option of going back to eighth grade. She can either continue to thrive in classes she actually understands, or she can go back to struggling to pass her classes. Yes, this seems like a great idea.
Claudia, to her credit, takes her time considering her options. And because she’s a teenager, her schoolwork isn’t the only thing she thinks about. There are her friends, which she has in both grades. There’s the fact that she’s queen of the seventh grade. And there’s her boyfriend, Mark. Even when he keeps flaking out on her and proves to be a typical immature 13-year-old boy, Claudia wants to keep dating him.
That is, until she finds out that her friend Josh has a massive crush on her. (This is the guy she friendzoned in the past.) Their seventh-grade friends are pretty shocked that Claudia hasn’t picked up on his obsession with her, but she has her head in the clouds 95 percent of the time, so they should have expected that. Just like a 13-year-old girl, Claudia doesn’t have any interest in Josh past friendship until she finds out he likes her. Then all of a sudden she has another decision to make: Mark or Josh?
Long story short: She picks Josh and eighth grade. And everyone’s all, “Oh, you’ll do great, we’ll help you, you’ve come so far.” Yeah, we’ll see.
The kids at SMS are doing a color war, so the B-plot is them putting on a color war with their sitting charges. It’s dumb and boring.
Thoughts: If the school will give Claudia tutors when she goes back to eighth grade, why didn’t they provide them before, when she was failing eighth grade? And really, they shouldn’t have sent her back to seventh grade. They should have waited until the end of the year and had her repeat eighth grade, since that’s the year she had trouble with. But of course, that never would have happened, since the girls are trapped in eighth grade for all eternity.
Though I don’t agree with her, I like Janine’s logic: Claudia should go back to eighth grade so she doesn’t have to spend an extra year in middle school.
Abby completes a three-legged race by dragging her partner over the finish line on his back. And that’s why I love Abby.

BSC Mystery #32, Claudia and the Mystery in the Painting: You’re My Favorite Work of Art
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, crime and/or punishment at 8:23 pm by Jenn
That painting is silently judging Claudia’s outfit
Summary: The BSC’s newest clients are the Cook/Madden family. Mom Rebecca is the granddaughter of one of Claudia’s favorite painters, Grandmother Madden. She’s in town to settle Grandmother Madden’s estate and clear out the house. Claudia’s excited because she thinks there might be some paintings in the house, but Rebecca says that after a bad review, her grandmother destroyed all her artwork. The only paintings in the house are from her students. Grandmother Madden’s grandchildren are the only ones with any of her paintings, and Rebecca’s the only one of them who actually likes hers, since she’s also a painter. The other grandkids won’t participate in the estate sale because they don’t think they’ll get any money.
The BSC girls help with the estate sale, and since this is a mystery, weird stuff starts happening. Mr. Ogura, who works with the company holding the sale, keeps popping up and acting weird. Claudia also keeps spotting a woman who looks a lot like Rebecca. Rebecca’s husband, Mr. Cook, isn’t too thrilled to be involved with the estate sale, and has told his wife that he doesn’t support her decision to apply for art school. He also doesn’t support his seven-year-old son Jimmy’s love of painting. Mr. Cook is kind of a jerk.
Other mysterious happenings: A yellow cat named Goldie shows up. Well, that’s not really mysterious, but Rebecca does mention that her grandmother had a series of yellow cats, all named Goldie. In fact, she put a little yellow cat in the corner of all of her paintings. And Claudia finds a painting she likes of a Japanese woman, but it goes missing. There are all sorts of scenes with paintings being delivered and moved around, and it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on, but the bottom line is that none of the artwork in the house seems to be Grandmother Madden’s.
Since Claudia’s only smart when it involves art, she figures out what Mr. Ogura and the mystery woman are after. The painting of the Japanese woman was painted over two of Grandmother Madden’s paintings stuck together. Instead of destroying her artwork, Grandmother Madden let her students paint over them. Also, the mystery woman is Rebecca’s cousin, who was hoping to get her hands on some paintings. Claudia busts her and Mr. Ogura, who were working together, after they lock her in a closet, which is really creepy when you think about it. I mean, she’s 13.
The B-plot is also artsy: The girls are asked to help out with a new children’s art room at the Stoneybrook Museum. Ms. O’Neal, the woman who runs the room, is clueless about children and art, and thinks they should have structured assignments. The woman is so uptight she literally clutches her pearls. The girls have to keep convincing her that the kids should be allowed to explore and experiment. What’s nice, though, is that once Ms. O’Neal sees the kids’ artwork, she shows that she knows what to say to them and how to praise their efforts.
Thoughts: Mr. Cook doesn’t think Jimmy should paint because painting is something you learn to do in kindergarten. Oh, yeah? Well, I learned math in kindergarten. Should I stop using math, Mr. Cook? In the end, he does become more supportive, but if I were Rebecca and my husband thought so little of something I was passionate about, I would think seriously about whether I wanted to stay in that marriage.
Abby tells Corrie Addison she’s a great painter – as good as Pele. Really, she couldn’t think of one artist?
Stacey carries a calculator in her purse. *cough*nerd*cough
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to stop writing – I learned the alphabet in kindergarten, so it’s no longer something I should be using.
BSC #106, Claudia, Queen of the Seventh Grade: 10 Things I Hate About This Book
Posted in books tagged Addison kids, BSC, Claudia, school dance at 9:46 pm by Jenn
Surprise! Claudia’s actually been hanging out with a bunch of nine-year-olds!
Summary: Claudia’s adjusting to being in the seventh grade, doing better in her classes and making friends. When she’s nominated as queen of the seventh grade, she realizes how popular she is. Then she wins and has to plan the seventh-grade prom with Mark, the most popular guy in the grade. He’s your typical cocky teenager, and all the girls love him. He’s like Cary Retlin crossed with Alan Gray, but desirable. And of course, he has a softer side, like when he admits to Claudia that he was held back in the third grade.
Despite her newfound popularity, Claudia finds that being the queen isn’t that fun. Planning the dance is a lot of work, and Mark isn’t very helpful. Plus, the BSC girls aren’t really supportive and don’t care about her seventh-grade social life. Claudia and Mark kiss, and the girls flip out because he’s so immature and Claudia hates him and he’s, you know, not in the eighth grade. Claudia finally tells them all to shut up because she’s no longer in the eighth grade either.
The dance goes fine, but Claudia and Mark never talk about their kiss. She talks to her seventh-grade friends about it, including Josh, who clearly has a crush on her that she’s clearly oblivious to. And then she totally friendzones him! Anyway, Claudia and Mark have to dance to the official seventh-grade song, and they kiss again, so apparently that means they’re dating, even though they never talked about their feelings for each other or anything. Yay, middle school!
The B-plot is familiar: Sean Addison is ten and thinks he’s too old for a sitter (shades of Jeff Schafer and the Pike triplets). But he’s clearly not mature enough to watch his sister while their parents are out. The BSC girls try to give him freedom while they’re sitting, but he doesn’t quite follow the rules. One day he tells his parents there are no sitters available to watch him, so he’ll have to stay by himself. He tries to wash the dishes but uses the wrong kind of soap. Stacey comes to his rescue and tells him he’s not doing a great job of proving that he’s responsible. This is obviously a problem between Sean and his parents, but that family’s all kinds of messed up, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s never any conclusion there.
Thoughts: Everyone in this book is annoying. Shut up, everyone. I mean, seriously:
Kristy acts like Claudia’s still an eighth-grader who just happens to be taking different classes. She thinks Claudia being the queen doesn’t mean anything even though Claudia thinks it’s an honor. She also chastises Claudia for letting her seventh-grade friends leave messages on her answering machine, since it’s the club’s line. (Watch yourself, Kristy. Claudia only lets you all use her phone out of the kindness of her heart.)
Stacey keeps calling Claudia’s seventh-grade friends immature.
Abby refers to Josh as “the little one.” I mean, I don’t like him either, but come on.
Mark is, like I said, a typical seventh-grade boy, and what’s more annoying than that?
Josh is the tagalong kid brother you just can’t shake. In some ways, he’s more annoying than Mark.
Sean is a total brat to his sister, which is definitely not the way to get your parents to back off.
It just made me hate the whole book.
There’s a girl in the seventh-grade named Duryan. What kind of name is Duryan?
The prom is publicized all over town, which is stupid since it’s only open to SMS seventh-graders.
Claudia thinking one kiss is nothing but two means a relationship might be the most 13-year-old thing about her.
BSC Mystery #27, Claudia and the Lighthouse Ghost: Mad Hatt-ers
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, Janine Kishi, pointless B plots at 8:33 pm by Jenn
I kind of want Claud’s jacket
Summary: A family named the Hatts stay with the Kishis when they return to Stoneybrook after being away for a few years. There was some sort of scandal surrounding their departure, but the BSC girls don’t know much about it. It seems like it had something to do with Stoneybrook’s lighthouse (yes, really), which the Hatts own. Some digging around nets the girls the information that a teenage boy named Adrian Langley died after falling out of the lighthouse. Mr. Hatt tried to save him, but Adrian’s father still blames him for Adrian’s death.
The BSC girls help with the Hatts’ lighthouse clean-up, and Claudia finds a note saying something about the reader being “one of us” if he/she can last a night in the lighthouse. It also has a drawing of a gargoyle on it. Janine sees the note and says the gargoyle looks like the one over the door to Stoneybrook High School. The girls learn that there was a gang (yeah, I bet – Stoneybrook doesn’t know what a gang is) that adopted the gargoyle as a mascot, so the note was probably part of an initiation ritual.
Meanwhile, the Hatts are receiving threatening notes (mostly playing on their last name) telling them to leave Stoneybrook. The girls suspect two of the Hatt kids, Laura and Steve, might be sending the notes. The lighthouse is also smoke-bombed. No one seriously thinks a ghost is involved, contrary to the book’s title; the girls alternately suspect Mr. Langley, Adrian’s brother Paul, Steve, and Janine’s boyfriend Jerry, who’s been kind of a jerk lately.
Paul lets the girls see Adrian’s room, where Claudia snags a photo of some of his friends. She finds out later that Adrian isn’t in the picture. She thinks that the photo is of the gang members, and that one of them is trying to keep everyone away from the lighthouse. At a party Steve throws in the lighthouse, Claudia learns she’s right. One of the guys in the photo sneaks in, turns out the lights, and falls, because he’s a moron. He explains that he wanted to get back into the lighthouse and retrieve the note the gang left for Adrian before the Hatts could find it. (Why he waited almost ten years to do this isn’t explained.) Now everyone likes the Hatts, including Mr. Langley, and Jerry and Janine are okay again, even though she kind of had her eye on Steve.
Also there’s a comet, and the kids in town think it’ll make bad things happen, but Kristy lets them know they’re idiots. It’s dumb.
Thoughts: Suddenly there’s a lighthouse in Stoneybrook? To go along with the coastline we’ve heard so much about?
A party for a comet viewing is proof that Kristy has lost all control.
Claudia: “Sunday? That’s in two days!” Janine: “Your math is improving.” I love you, Janine.
Ben Hobart scares some kids with comet stories, and Abby says that if they can’t sleep that night, she’ll have their parents call them. But three of the kids he scares are his own brothers, so that makes no sense.
Charlie: “Steve Hatt!” Me: “Steve Holt!”
Hey, Adam, “you’re still ugly” only works as an insult if it’s NOT directed at your identical triplet.
BSC #101, Claudia Kishi, Middle School Dropout: I Am So Smart! I Am So Smart! S-M-R-T!
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, Halloween, Jackie Rodowsky, school dance at 3:51 pm by Jenn
The kids behind Claudia look like they’re about nine
Summary: We already knew Claudia isn’t that bright, but now there’s proof: She’s doing horribly in eighth grade. (You’d think she’d be better at it since she’s done it five times, but whatever.) She agrees to get a tutor and try harder, but nothing helps, and no one thinks she’ll be able to catch up. Ultimately, Claudia’s sent back to the seventh grade. And she’s ticked.
At first, things actually go well. Claudia remembers a what of what she learned in seventh grade the first time, and she has an easier time learning new material. The other girls in the grade think she’s cool and try to copy her clothes. But the social aspects of the change get to her – she can’t go to the eighth-grade Halloween dance, and she doesn’t have anyone to sit with at lunch, since she doesn’t know anyone else in the seventh grade.
Claudia gradually gets more and more annoying about not liking being in the seventh grade. She accidentally insults Mallory and Jessi, since she believes anyone younger than an eighth-grader is immature, but doesn’t even realize it. Fortunately, she’s been taking an art class with a famous teacher who sees a ton of potential in her and awards her the grand prize in a class competition. The teacher confides that she was held back twice but has still accomplished a lot in her life. Claudia learns her lesson and starts adjusting to her new life.
The B-plot is all touchy-feely: Jackie Rodowsky is just getting out of the hospital, and he tells the BSC girls and their charges how much the kids still in the hospital would like some company. This leads the girls to start a Hospital Buddies program, pairing healthy kids with hospitalized kids for letter writing and visits. The healthy kids also voluntarily split their Halloween candy with the sick kids.
Thoughts: Claudia says she’s been tested and doesn’t have a learning disorder, but that can’t be true. At the very least, she has to have ADD.
Oh, ghostwriter. There can’t be two Halloweens.
“There wasn’t one person in that whole grade who even approached the level of coolness I’ve attained – and they all knew it.” Huh. Claudia’s kind of a bitca.
I wish they’d addressed Claudia’s snobbery more. If I were Mal or Jessi, I would have said something about her attitude toward sixth- and seventh-graders. And she’s never had a problem with hanging out with 11-year-olds before, so it’s especially surprising here.
BSC #97, Claudia and the World’s Cutest Baby: Lynnsanity
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia at 8:39 pm by Jenn
I don't know about the baby, but the nursery's pretty cute
Summary: Claudia’s Aunt Peaches has her baby and Claudia quickly loses her mind. It doesn’t help that the baby is named Lynn, Claudia’s middle name, and Peaches and Russ ask her to be the baby’s godmother. She becomes obsessed with the kid, inviting herself over all the time and teaching her aunt and uncle how to parent. Peaches reacts in a way that some would describe as mean but that I would describe as totally appropriate: She tells Claudia to stop being a know-it-all.
Claudia doesn’t realize how nuts she was until she goes on a class trip to Philadelphia. One of her classmates, Melissa, is basically obsessed with her and keeps following her around. Claudia just wants to hang out with Stacey and Abby, but the girls are too nice to say anything to Melissa.
Melissa and Claudia get lost in Philly, pretty much because Melissa’s a know-it-all (are you sensing a pattern here?), and Claudia gets mad at her. Melissa later apologizes for being a pest and Claudia realizes she was being a pest to Peaches. Peaches forgives her and asks her to be a little more considerate and maybe call before she comes over.
In the B-plot, the Arnold twins keep watching horror movies and having nightmares. One night when Mary Anne’s babysitting, they watch a making-of feature on one of the movies, and the twins are fascinated by how all the special effects are done. They get really interested in becoming directors and make a movie with Kristy. It starts out kind of stupid, but I liked the resolution.
Thoughts: No way is Claudia too dumb to know who Bach was.
She does, however, know that “hermano” is Spanish for “brother,” so she’s smarter than anyone with the last name Bluth.
The baby gets Claudia’s middle name and Claudia for a godmother. If I were Janine, I’d be pretty ticked.
I’d love to know where Claudia got the money to buy so much stuff for Lynn and Peaches. I mean, a fully-stocked diaper bag? No 13-year-old has that kind of cash; I don’t care how much sitting she does.
BSC #91, Claudia and the First Thanksgiving: The BSC vs. Fox and Friends
Posted in books tagged BSC, Claudia, holiday (celebrate) at 11:29 pm by Jenn
I'm pretty sure there were no hippies at the first Thanksgiving, Claudia
Summary: The students at SMS are still taking Short Takes classes, and Claudia, Stacey, and Abby are in one together about theater for kids. The class writes a play about the first Thanksgiving for some third-graders, deciding to tell the real story rather than the polished one everyone knows. (Women were property, the Europeans were mean, etc.)
Some parents attend a rehearsal and suddenly a bunch of them are furious about the way Thanksgiving is being presented. And they go incredibly over-the-top about it, even labeling the play “un-American.” Finally the principal decides that the class has to either rewrite the play so it’s more “traditionally” Thanksgiving or scrap it altogether. At first the class wants to scrap it so the protesters don’t get the pleasure of getting their way, but when the class realizes that the kids will be disappointed, they agree to a rewrite. However, they decide to go on under protest, printing “censored” on everything and basically protesting the protest.
The kids perform the rewritten play, and then some SMS students stage the original play. A ton of protesters show up and disrupt everything, even booing the actors and making it impossible for them to continue. (So reasonable and appropriate.) After the play is over, the class tries to avoid the protesters, and then suddenly it’s all over. And I guess 20 years later the crazy super-super-conservative protesters start demanding to see politicians’ birth certificates.
Meanwhile, it’s actually Thanksgiving, and while all the BSC girls had plans that took most of them out of town, they get canceled, so everyone’s in Stoneybrook for the holiday. They come up with the “brilliant” idea to get everyone’s families together for dinner. That means dinner for 36 people. I don’t know why in the world their parents would agree to this. Oh, and then Dawn makes a surprise appearance.
Thoughts: “One of Stacey’s favorite classes was called Math for Real Life. (I would call a course like that Learning to Hire an Accountant, but who asked me?” Ha! I’m right there with you, Claudia.
I’m surprised no one objects to Carolyn playing a male character.
I like that Claudia admits that the play isn’t actually that great. Usually the BSC girls are super-duper awesome at everything, but it’s much more realistic that a play written by a bunch of 13-year-olds in a short amount of time would be pretty mediocre. Now, if Mallory had been one of the writers, I’m sure it would have been a different story….
While the BSC girls, Sam, Charlie, and Janine are watching everyone’s younger siblings at the Pikes’ house, Sam tells the triplets he’s hiding a dollar bill (made into an origami turkey) and they have to clean their room to find it. Then he tapes it to the handle of a broom, knowing they’ll never look there. Sam is almost as cool as Charlie.

Portrait of An Extraordinary Gentleman
A matter of passion
Alan Moore by Spanish artist Mario Rivière.
Below, a short piece I wrote for the Alan Moore Special published in August 2001 on Ultrazine.org (the site is not reachable anymore).
In a recent interview [originally here; the link is not available anymore] answering a "what is comics for you?" question, Mr. Alan Moore said: "Comics is for me an art form which is of tremendous importance but which is largely marginalized, is seen as unimportant. The more I look at comics, the more interesting they become. It strikes me that comics are perhaps the original human art form, that a sequence of pictures telling a story has got to be one of the oldest forms of language, whether you're talking about Egyptian hieroglyphics or Chinese ideograms. [...] There's still such a lot that could be done with comics, still new forms that can be achieved and imagined. I've been doing them for twenty years; I'm nowhere near reaching the limit of what comics can do. [...] Even if the spotlight of public attention moves away, that won't faze me in the slightest. It's still a form I can see potential in, it probably sounds arrogant but that's the only person I'm interested in. If I can see the potential there, there's potential there, it doesn't matter if other people can't see it. In fact, I'd probably rather I was the only one who could see it; there'd be more for me, all the more unbroken ground. [...] I cannot imagine a point in the future where I will completely abandon comics for another media. I think there's enough there for me to continue working with different combinations of words and images for the rest of my days. It's a boundless ocean that I could get lost in; I would really like to see a few more people taking the plunge."
Among these words we can find the key to understand.
The starting point to comprehend the true power of the best writer comic art has ever had.
In these words all becomes clear and we can feel, as a tangible thing, the passion Mr. Moore has for the comics medium. This passion is the natural propelling force he uses to imagine words and worlds.
It's passion that feeds technique and structure, that gives him the input to ideate anomalous comics masterpieces such as Watchmen, V for Vendetta, From Hell.
It's passion that makes him happy to play with minor toys such as Supreme or Mr. Majestic breathing in them a shining life.
It's passion that moves his respect for the audience and the artists. It's this passion that gives him the impulse to put on paper thousands of words to describe a single panel.
And again it's this inextinguishable feeling that guides Mr. Moore in the deep waters of comics ocean while all the others stay around the coasts.
Long life to the long-haired bearded Genius and... long life to comic art!

Henk Rogers To Serve As An Advisor For BLMP Network
ICO Investigator | June 14, 2018 | Press Release | No Comments
Singapore – Henk Rogers, founder of Tetris, the world’s #1 casual game played in over 185 countries will be joining BLMP- Blockchain Licensing Marketplace as an advisor. BLMP uses innovative blockchain-based methods to help brands and publishers form effective licensing agreements to create official licensed branded virtual goods. Rogers, the man behind Tetris has the skills and expertise to bolster these efforts.
Rogers began his career as a video game developer, but has since become involved in everything from renewable energy to global peace to interplanetary colonization. The Dutch-American entrepreneur has more than three decades of experience in leadership roles at different companies and foundations. This gives him insight into the strategies necessary for resolving the modern world’s most serious problems.
Rogers’ skills fit perfectly with BLMP’s efforts to disrupt the virtual goods industry. The BLMP platform is revolutionizing the virtual goods market and licensing industry, which is plagued with uncertainty over licensing, payments, and other essential functions. Henk has experience as a content creator, publisher and brand, giving him key insights that will help BLMP bridge these needs of these industries.
BLMP & the Challenges of Virtual Goods
BLMP uses blockchain technology to shore up the most serious flaws of the modern virtual goods industry. Virtual goods are digital items which are purchased and used in video games, on social media, and in other digital environments. Consumers are rapidly buying games, social media items, and other virtual assets as eagerly as physical goods. But growth in this industry has been stymied by a number of factors. Global brands are highly fragmented and have wildly different goals, making it hard to develop a consistent framework for licensing agreements. Many brands and licensors do not make digital asset creation a priority, as their current business operations are focused on real world goods, rather than digital goods.
BLMP resolves licensing problems by applying blockchain technology, (an innovative storage method that links pieces of data to create immutable records) to connect global brands with digital publishing platforms in a an easy-to-use marketplace for licensed virtual goods. Brands and publishers form self-enforcing smart contracts, which automatically creates, distributes, and tracks the supply chain for virtual goods. The blockchain also keep tracks of how branded goods are used, so consumers know those goods are authentic and brands know they’re being used with proper permissions. BLMP simplifies the licensing process for companies and individuals to form partnerships, create and identify valuable goods, and secure intellectual property rights.
Henk Rogers
Born in the Netherlands and now residing in Hawaii, Rogers is perhaps best known for his work in the video game industry. He produced The Black Onyx, one of the first role-playing games in history, and secured the rights for Tetris. But he has also worked in a cornucopia of other efforts, including founding and acting as the CEO of renewable energy initiative Blue Planet Energy Systems, as well as founding International MoonBase Alliance, a group that promotes colonizing the moon.
Rogers’ experience as a game publisher, licensor, and owner of well-known brand; Tetris will help BLMP’s efforts to create a marketplace that addresses the needs of its intended users. Meanwhile, his work in renewable energy, space exploration, and other game-changing initiatives shows he has experience thinking outside the box and finding alternatives to common but unsustainable behaviors. This leaves him perfectly positioned to re-imagine the market for virtual goods, identifying its inefficiencies and coming up with creative, comprehensive solutions.

Posted at 06:57h in News by Info Amcham
Zambia Railways says it is in the market seeking US$922 million capitalization for its 5 year rehabilitation planZambia Railways Chief Executive Officer Christopher Musonda revealed in an interview with Railways Africa that this part of the five year strategic plan which has since been approved.Mr. Musonda said the firm is in talks with financiers for the proposed five-year business plan which includes a USD$922 million capital injection, for existing operations.He said he could not name the financiers as talks were currently underway.
He also outlined the upcoming procurement of 40 new locomotives and 2000 specialised wagons, under the rehabilitation plan.He said so far, ZR have leased 12 locomotives from Transnet of South Africa to help achieve the targets of moving 30 percent of cargo from road to rail in line with the new Statutory Instrument.Mr Musonda also noted that the passing of the SI on movement of heavy cargo ha seen a jump in tonnage by 25 percent and a 22% rise in revenue.
The CEO further revealed that Zambia Railways currently employs about 1,000 direct employees and around 300 contractors, making its staffing levels one of the highest.He said there is need to increase production given the high number of workers employed by the company.Mr. Musonda stated that the feasibility studies that will soon be underway will inform the firm on how the financiers will recoup their investment.

An Gorta Mór Glasgow
Work underway on memorial as fundraising passes 60%
Posted on June 24, 2019 June 24, 2019 by An Gorta Mór Glasgow
Donegal sculptor John McCarron has commenced work on “The Tower of Silence”, the design chosen in our public consultation to be the first permanent memorial in Glasgow to the dead and displaced of An Gorta Mór.
John’s design made a strong impression on those who viewed the model. Made of steel to reflect Glasgow’s shipbuilding industry it depicts three unclothed, emaciated figures, representing the 100,000 who fled here in desperation. The plinth underneath the figures will be engraved with a verse from “The Stricken Land” by Lade Wilde which conveys the injustice of the suffering they were forced to endure. The memorial will stand in the grounds of St Mary’s in the Calton, a church and an area with deep roots in Glasgow’s Irish community.
The memorial wouldn’t be reaching this significant milestone without your fantastic support.
Over £52,000 has now been raised, which takes us to 65% of our fundraising target, and donations continue to come in. The pre-match bucket collection at Celtic Park in March 2019 generated £20,100 and we’ve been overwhelmed by the level of support you’ve given to the cause.
A grand total of £5,000 has been donated by Celtic fans from all over Ireland who attended the Ballymena Shamrock CSC dinner dance on 21/6/19 while a fantastic £868 was donated in one night of fundraising in the parish of St Maria Goretti in Glasgow. Over €480 has been raised so far in the Badass Café in Dublin, while countless other people are holding events, collecting change and donating online.
There’s a lot more to come and we need your continued help to raise the rest of the money required to create a fitting tribute to the memory of our ancestors. Stay tuned for news on future fundraisers, including details of song downloads and how you could own a match worn shirt from Jozo Simunovic or Scott Sinclair featuring the National Famine Day Memorial logo.
Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for details of progress on the memorial and our current fundraising efforts

Metal contamination in Tasmanian wilderness area among worst in the world – ANU research
Thursday, February 7, 2019 — A study of metal contamination in south-west Tasmania by The Australian National University (ANU) has found lakes in the Tasmanian Wilderness World Heritage Area (TWWHA) are contaminated with dangerous metals, and at levels among the highest in the world.
ANU researchers studied airborne contamination for the first time in Tasmania and found metal contaminants travelled 130km down-wind of historical mining sites in Queenstown and Rosebery.
In Tasmania, dangerous levels of lead, copper, arsenic and cadmium were found in all six lakes in the TWWHA region with some exceeding the highest allowable levels in sediment guidelines for Australia and New Zealand.
Lead researcher Dr Larissa Schneider and Professor Simon Haberle from the Archaeology and Natural History program at ANU, said the high levels of metal concentrations may be cause for health concerns.
“This is a very severe contamination and it’s very likely that the health of the local biota; bacteria, algae, fish and other organisms is being affected, but as this aspect hasn’t been studied, we have no way of knowing,” said Dr Schneider.
“As we know, concentrations of contaminants increase as they travel up the food chain so this has implications for anyone who consumes fish from these areas”.
Dr Schneider said the Tasmanian contamination is on par with that in the Kurang River in Pakistan, contaminated by mining and the Shur River in Iran, subject to heavy metal pollution from non-mining activities such as waste dumping.
“I was very surprised by the high concentration results. When we compared the confirmed results with worldwide sites, we found that Tasmania’s metal concentration levels were one of the highest ever reported,” said Dr Schneider.
“We tested a number of metals and metalloids including selenium where a study in the US proved that lower concentrations than the ones found in Tasmania had affected the ability of fish to reproduce.
“It’s even worse with mercury and lead which cause deformities in the offspring of affected fish. Some elements can also be carcinogenic so all this could be happening in Tasmania in an area we think is safe because of its world heritage listing,” said Dr Schneider.
“In 1973, Tasmania did very well by being one of the first Australian states to legislate an Environmental Protection Act, but the government of the day exempted the mining companies from the rules so they continued to deposit waste into the rivers,” she said.
Crucial to obtaining these results, was a new model used to help understand the interplay of climate factors on airborne metal distribution.
The Hybrid Single Particle Lagrangian Integrated Trajectory (HYSPLIT) predicted how far the contamination travelled and sediment samples taken from places 130km away from the mining sites confirmed the modelling.
“Our research established the extent of the airborne contamination and how severe it is. We now need more knowledge about the chemical forms of the elements to assess exposure and the health risks they may pose to organisms,” said Dr Schneider.
“We should also study the organisms to assess stress levels caused by the high metal concentrations.
“The big concern is that the legacy of practices carried out from 1893 until 1994 are still having a negative impact on the environment today and no one is taking responsibility for it”.
Professor Haberle said sediment pollution from heavy metals is a worldwide problem and considered a serious threat to aquatic ecosystems because of their toxicity, ubiquitous and persistent nature. They are also non-biodegradable and bio-accumulate in food chains.
Dr Schneider’s research is published in Science of the Total Environment:

ARGC appreciate that it may be difficult for patients to come into Upper Wimpole Street (sometimes daily) for monitoring during a round of IVF. Not all IVF clinics offer the same treatment programme and many only offer a standard ‘one-size-fits-all’ type of treatment. ARGC’s philosophy, on the other hand, means that each patient is treated on an individual basis. The ARGC medical team takes the necessary time to perform frequent blood tests and scans that are needed to monitor all changes in the woman’s body during her treatment. We believe this regular monitoring is crucial and has helped ARGC gain its high success rate.
In response to feedback from our patients, and to make the ‘IVF journey’ easier and less inconvenient, ARGC has opened a centre in the Champneys Tring Health Resort. The centre will undertake part of the monitoring phase of treatment (ultrasound & bloods), thus reducing the need for patients to attend our London clinic. This period could last for approximately twelve days. The results will be reviewed daily by our medical director and patients will receive a call every day from our staff with their daily drug regime.
Our aim is to:
Bring our services closer to the patient
Provide a more accessible service to the residents of Oxfordshire and surrounding areas
Reduce the overall cost of treatment
Reduce the time commitment of treatment
Provide an alternative to London as a base for overseas clients
*Note: In order to maximise your chance of benefiting from our exceptional results, you will still be required to attend our London Clinic when you are ready to undergo egg harvesting and embryo transfer. This will ensure that patients always receive treatment from the highly experienced members of our team who have worked together for many years at our facility in London, where they have consistently achieved the UK’s highest success rates year on year.
Let our staff know if you would like to consider this treatment option.
Further information on Champneys complimentary therapies, accommodation and special ARGC discounts can be found at the following link.
http://www.champneys.com/About-Champneys/News/Introducing-IVF-Champneys
Clients can either attend as walk-in day patients (at no additional charge), or as guests of the health resort. Throughout a patient’s journey, Champneys staff will be available to advise women on the different treatments and gentle exercises that will help keep them calm and relaxed during this important time.

Sat nav users may also use the road name ‘Chesham Road’ and Wigginton as the town or city location. Alternatively, you may use the postcode HP23 6HX.
Approximately 75% of patients who use Upper Wimpole Street have failed at other clinics before turning to ARGC for help. We hope that, by extending our geographical reach, patients will not have to settle for second best because of time-inconvenience limitations.
We are committed to making the ARGC results easier to access. Patients can now mix and match on a daily basis whether they are monitored in Upper Wimpole Street, Oxford or our other new facility at Champneys, Tring.
The ARGC is a world leading IVF clinic, which has achieved the UK's highest success rates in IVF and ICSI year after year.

Not sure why you are being down voted on newly revealed information that seems to confirm that one of the servers email accounts was breached.
If you're down voting him, perhaps an explanation as to why?
Clinton has spent over $6 million on online shills and people to slide content out of view with dislikes and censorship, google her company Correct The Record.
lol, when a pro Hillary Clinton super PAC does it it's a legitimate organization with the laudable goal of "correcting the record". When Vladimir Putin does it it's known as a subversive and disruptive anti-social pro Russian force dubbed the "Russian Troll Army".
Same difference. They're both astroturfing to gain political/strategic advantage.

You must have missed the e-mails where George Soros was directing Clinton to perform certain duties in certain countries to quell uprisings. You are looking at this whole thing from the wrong angle - look at the bigger picture that these e-mails have uncovered. A civilian giving orders to a Secretary of State of the US government... You don't see a problem with that?
Just George soro?
Pretty sure she was using the private email server to email Satan about destroying Christians in America. And she is secretly an isis operative.

So she was specifically warned that using a private server would be an end run around public records laws and FOIA requests. The FBI says it totally wasn't used to get around FOIA requests.
Being warned does not magically morph into intent. The intent here is not in question: she wanted to use her Blackberry for email but there was no official support. Not sure about you, but I have been in similar corporate situations. When I worked at WorldCom I set up an ssh tunnel to the IMAP port of our Exchange server and taught my coworkers how to use it with PINE so we could a) check our mail from home and b) could use Linux on our desktops.
In 2016 with the ubiquity of services like Gmail and easy, secure email access on all devices it is easy to forget that things were not always like that.

haven't you heard the law doesn't apply to republicans.
Email was still in it's infancy when Powell was SoS and so the laws then were less strict. So technically, he didn't do anything illegal. Nor did he use a private email server like Hillary did.
Interesting though how I'm still obsessed with the losing presidential candidate from the last election for some dumb reason threw him under the bus.
You've been brainwashed. She did nothing illegal. She violated policy.
And it's the Democratic party, not the Democrat party.
And she's not the Commander-in-Chief so I don't even know how you got the notion that she's responsible for American citizens getting killed. If we put government officials in jail according to how many people died under their watch, George W Bush would be in prison for hundreds and hundreds of years for all the dead in the 911 attack, the thousands of military service personnel that died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars and the millions of innocent civilian lives that were lost because of his stupidity, not to mention all the lies that were told to justify the war in the first place.
Take your partisan bullshit somewhere else.
Lol....she violated the espionage act! And she had every intent in doing so. If that's not illegal then I don't know what is.
And yes, she may well be responsible for getting Americans killed. If her server was hacked then no doubt she put American lives at risk.
Clearly, I'm still obsessed with the losing presidential candidate from the last election for some dumb reason was more concerned about protecting her own secrets and the Clinton Foundation's secrets more than she was about protecting America's secrets.
She's not fit for any government job, let alone president.

The Power Mac G4 was sold prior to the release of OS X. Thus it's operating system was the Classical Mac OS. The Classical Mac OS had no command line, thus it was practically unhackable remotely. I believe that this was also true of the Power Mac G5.
If the Clinton email had been maintained on either of these two Macs there would be no questions about infiltration by anyone.

As always seems to be the case the coverup is worse then the crime, certainly so with the Clintons given their history. If any the obstruction of justice hasn't been their attempting to conceal their public records from being properly archived, as required by law and thus being open to being disclosed under FOIA.
Rather it's their efforts after the fact. And that would be potentially lying under oath to investigators and or destruction of/concealing of evidence, in an attempt to explain away the email scandal, and of course try to publicly cast it in the light of just another illegitimate "vast right-wing conspiracy" to get them. Because that's what the Clintons always do when they're backed into a corner.

While someone who is using their own legitimate profiles, or long established alternate personas on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Youtube, Ars, etc., to give the appearance of a legitimately independent grass roots opinion, when they are in fact astroturfing for a Super PAC with an organized political agenda, and are actually parroting it's talking points without disclosing their affiliation with the Super PC as an operative, will meet with much greater success.
While i have no way of knowing for sure, i don't think you're actually part of a legitimate astroturfing campaign. Like the one this left-wing "Correct the Record" Super PAC is operating.
My comment was simply tongue-in-check making light of (with a wink) the fact that when Super PACs resort to astroturfing, it muddies the waters and calls into question whether anyone's political opinion on the internet is really sincere anymore, including yours, or is it just another disingenuous non-transparent effort by a political action committee who is astroturfing for political/strategic advantage.

What kind of idiot uses a Mac as a public server?
Seriously. His contractor had no idea about IT what so ever.
Democrats skipped that line all together. You also forget that Clinton's are above the law.

The Clinton email saga is the most amazing of non-stories. An administrative rule was broken. A rule broken by a great many people at the time. That's it. Case closed.
Yet Donald Trump is a an angry buffoonish white supremacist con man intent on doing terrible, but "humane" harm to millions of people. A man who lies and changes his position with nearly every breath and tweet. But never mind that, let's get back to the emails. What the hell, people?

The Clinton email saga with it's oh-so-typical Clinton-esque coverup that's far worse then the original fuck-up isn't a non-story. And it has nothing to do with Donald Trump.
I've said this elsewhere, but I feel it bears repeating here.
For roughly 30 years now, Hillary Clinton has been dogged by a party made up primarily of lawyers, judges, DAs, and others in the legal profession, with millions of dollars and all the institutions of government at their fingertips.
In all this time, with all this knowledge, power and influence at their disposal, what have they discovered? That the Clintons tend to bend the rules if it benefits them, and like to scratch the backs of people who can and will scratch theirs. For all their efforts, they haven't discovered evidence of anything truly heinous or illegal. Rather, they've merely uncovered the fact they're a little seedy.
...so how are they any different than any other politician in Washington?
How is it any different? This one it running for President of the United States at the moment. As such scrutinizing her dealings is fair game. After all, as you said the Clintons are a little seedy, tend to bend the rules if it benefits themselves, and like to scratch the backs of people who can and will scratch theirs.
Bill, Hillary, Loretta Lynch, James Comey and the emails
Corruption in plain sight
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/201 ... nd-emails/
"So, let’s review what took place:
Tuesday, June 28: Former President Bill Clinton suddenly appears to Attorney General Loretta Lynch in the cabin of her airplane parked on the tarmac in Phoenix, Arizona. Secret Service agents deny access to news photos and videos of the visit. They visit for 30 minutes.
Thursday, June 29: Lynch denies that any discussion with Bill Clinton of the FBI’s investigation of Hillary Clinton’s email scandal took place, and states that she expects to accept the recommendation of the FBI as to further actions in the Clinton case. She does not, however, recuse herself or appoint a Special Prosecutor. The FBI also announces that the Clinton interview will take place on this coming Saturday, during the holiday weekend.
Friday, June 30: Hillary Clinton campaign leaks that Loretta Lynch may be retained in her present job under a Hillary Clinton administration.
Saturday, July 1: Hillary Clinton’s long-delayed interview with the FBI takes place. It lasts 3 1/2 hours. Clinton not under oath. FBI Director Comey does not attend, will not reveal who was in attendance.
Tuesday, July 5: FBI Director Comey conducts a press conference without questions. Details a long list of Clinton’s violations, but concludes that he met with prosecutors and decided not to make a criminal referral for either convening a Grand Jury or an indictment because she didn’t mean to do anything bad. He cited “reasonable prosecutors” (presumably the ones he consulted) who would not want to prosecute the case.
Tuesday, July 5: While Comey was making his announcement, President Barack Obama, in a previously scheduled appearance, was campaigning in North Carolina with Hillary Clinton.
Wednesday, July 6: Attorney General Lynch announces that she accepts the recommendation of Comey and will not review the evidence herself.
What really happened appears to be that Bill Clinton successfully conveyed to Loretta Lynch that she would keep her job if Hillary is elected. Lynch then successfully conveyed to Comey that she expected a clean referral from the FBI. Finally, Comey undertook a nearly unprecedented step by publicly announcing all the reasons for a criminal referral, then refusing to follow his own logic. In the meantime, Obama, boss of Lynch and Comey, obviously knew well in advance what the outcome of this charade would be and scheduled accordingly."
It's all certainly suspicious, but it's also entirely circumstantial. Looks terrible at a glance, but proves absolutely nothing in and of itself.
The weakest link in this conspiratorial chain of suspicious meetings is Comey himself. He has no love for the Clintons, has absolutely nothing to gain by conspiring with them, nor anything to lose by siding against them. There's no reason for him to do anything but what he considers to be his job.
...well, besides knowing his conclusions could possibly pave the way for a Trump presidency. I imagine that scares the shit out of a lot of people.

So please explain how this is any different from Trump? He doesn't bend the rules to benefit himself? He doesn't scratch backs?

Sure he does. And he's fair game for the media and the public to scrutinize and make their own judgments about too. It's not like his life isn't an open book in many ways and open to scrutiny.
I mean really, what is you're point? That the bar isn't low enough for Hillary too?
I will add there's one way it's very different from the Clintons doing so. As of yet Trump hasn't done so while simultaneously holding elected office. Positions like Governor, President, Senator, and Secretary of State.
I'm sure Trumps one saving grace here is that he has yet to abuse a position of power because he has yet to hold one. Though considering all actions and evidence, I don't have much faith that he's going to somehow turn out better than this current bunch we've saddled ourselves with.
Hell, all things considered, he'll probably be worse. His reputation in the private sector is far from sterling, and his campaign hasn't exactly filled anyone but his diehard hangers-on with confidence. I mean comeon. His whole shtick is that he's a loudmouth bully that cajoles, coerces, and steps on anyone who stands in his way. How some people translate this into him becoming a fairminded, quote-unquote law and order president, capable of sweeping all the backscratching and corruption out of Washington is beyond me.
I can understand people not liking Hillary. I can almost emphasize with them on that matter. What I can't understand is this idea that Trump is a better alternative, or, even worse, exactly what America needs. I'm more willing to begrudgingly settle on 4 years of Hillary Clinton than to put my faith in Donald J. Trump.

The point is that after decades of investigations, the grand conclusion is that the Clinton's are:
Politicians.
Seriously, that is about the worst that has been found. If any other politician were investigated to the extent the Clinton's have been there would be roughly the same amount of sewage on offer. Really, the only difference between the Clinton's and most any other politician is that there is a money-making industry devoted to criminalizing their lunch order. So what if Trump hasn't done any of this crap as a politician yet, he certainly has done all of it as a "businessman". Is there any doubt that he would if elected? Heck, just look at how his campaign is lining his own pockets.
Is Clinton fit to be President? No. And in an election that didn't have Trump as the alternative she would be complete and total toast. But since Trump is worse on absolutely every measure she is who we're stuck with.

"multiple times" is 3 times in this case, and it wasn't the server that was breached, it was 1 person's email.
Even if this person was clinton herself, we already know there was not much damaging information stored on this server. And considering this seems more like someone used a weak password or was phished, this is a vulnerability no matter what email provider you're using.
except for no, we dont know that there was not much damaging information, because she wiped the server and didnt hand over everything as instructed
the difference between the other posters claim and yours, is that you can see the email in question for yourself.
get back to me with the claims you are faux pushing to the world
Yeah usually mass deportations don't go so well. It's as if once they return to Mexico they continue life being Mexican, and not jobless, homeless, or hungry. If he was actually successful in rounding up millions it would be the worst possible outcome for both countries.

Deborah Page and Photographer Don Saxton
Past, Present and Future
Creative Consultant Deborah Page and Photographer Don Saxton’s Palm Desert Estate
Upon entering the home of art consultant Deborah Page and fine arts photographer Don Saxton, guests find themselves in a desert sanctuary pulled from the pages of a magazine. The scenic destination exists in a neighborhood far from the commonalities of track homes and miles away from cookie-cutter appeal. This atmosphere is a necessity for an artist such as Page, who is driven above all by inspiration, aestheticism, individuality and intuition.
Art Patron was given access to the couple’s five-acre property the day following a highly anticipated Andy Warhol-themed party at the estate. It was an event for which guests were instructed to step into Warhol’s world for a night, and directed to adorn themselves with threads inspired by the regulars of his NYC studio, the Factory. We got an exclusive tour of the art-filled residence and an up-close-and-personal look at the couple responsible for its pronounced aesthetic appeal.
Greeted at the door by Page, chunky bangles clasped over her wrists and wedged peep toe pumps on foot, we entered the house to music blaring over a full-property stereo system—a contrasting medley of 1960s alternative and early 2000s R&B hits.
At the entryway of the Palm Desert estate, guests are greeted by a large painting by famed American abstract artist Kenneth Noland. Across the way hangs a light work installation by emerging artist and Palm Desert native Phillip K. Smith III—“the most important artist to originate from the Desert, ever,” asserts Page.
Page does not make bold statements like this lightly. Her meticulous tastes, plus her innate understanding of ”how things work,” makes her knowledge apparent; her compliments are as rare and as carefully chosen as the pieces she lays out in her curatorial work.
Well-known for curating museum-quality collections in famed art institutions as well as personal estates, Page has become a go-to innovator in interior décor, unintimidated by any space and enthusiastically prepared for the challenge at hand. A master of her tools, she draws from a large group of artists at varying career levels and working in varying media, melding their art to create and accentuate the atmosphere of personal, professional and commercial spaces.
“I don’t know what it is about a space when preparing to fill it that guides me,” Page admits. “It’s just a vibe, an energy, a feeling.”
As you tour the Page and Saxton property, you realize that art fills every nook and cranny. Noland and Mark Bradford originals face each other across the hallway, and a Damien Hirst work is the highlight of Page’s office. A Lindsey Adelman chandelier hangs above the dining room table, and another one by Joel Otterson dangles artfully above the breakfast table. There is another Smith light and shadow disc piece above the living room fireplace, while an Anthony Caro sculpture is displayed casually nearby.
Page and Saxton’s energy is very much in line with that of their shared Virgo nature—analytical, practical and meticulous. “Don said to me prior to purchasing—since I’m much more impulsive—‘Now, don’t even think we’re going to just put an offer on this place.’” But by the next morning, in the time it took to sit down over coffee at their hotel, they had redesigned the entire house together. Although they considered other properties with plenty of attractive qualities, their connection to the Palm Desert estate was undeniable. “This has been one of the most enjoyable projects for Don and me,” Page continues. ”Truly, this space has been a pleasure to work on because I have a partner who is as into the work as I am.”
In one room of the couple’s expansive property, a Joseph Rodriguez neon art piece reading “Present, Future” hangs over the center of the bed. “That piece relates to Don and myself quite well,” explains Page.
Deborah Page and Don Saxton are an artistic duo unlike any other that Art Patron has sat down with. The long-time friends knew one another in their adolescence. “Don had come to Palm Springs since he was a kid, and so had I,” Page recalls. Both sets of parents once lived within a few miles of their current home. Things progressed full circle, and the two reconnected again, reborn as seasoned, experienced and thoughtful business owners and the most idealistic of creative partners in crime.
Palm Desert’s Austin Art Projects has just begun representing Saxton, and his works are displayed in nearly each room of the couple’s home. Large-scale, pronounced and conversation-igniting, each photo leads to the next, creating an abstract narrative displaying Saxton's unique vision and approach. In the breakfast nook—still strewn with Abba-Zabas and confetti following the prior night’s events—a colorful macro image of circular shapes and forms hangs in the viewer’s line of sight. It’s the result of Saxton’s sticking his camera lens into his grandchildren’s cereal bowl one weekday morning. The image is comforting, quirky and wholly engaging.
Page has spent 25 years building her art-consulting career. Along with clients such as the Four Seasons and the W Hotel in Austin, Page curated the art collection for the Museum Tower in Dallas. She also co-founded and curated the outdoor sculpture garden at the Auberge du Soleil Resort in the Napa Valley, and assembled a multi-million dollar contemporary art collection for the famed CordeValle resort in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. She’s put together art collections for the Calistoga Ranch, the El Dorado Hotel in Sonoma, and the Aetna Springs Resort in Pope Valley, and secured art for numerous wineries, restaurants, and private collections such as the DeJoria residence and ranch in Austin. Her chiseled eye for design and—even more vital—her passion for this work are unmatched.
Page and Saxton jovially acknowledge that their residence is actively lived in, that it functions as more than a house to dwell in, but as a location for function, festivities and freedom. “We truly live in our home and that’s important to us. We prop our feet up on every surface of this place,” Page explains as they both laugh, “and enjoy every single room.”
When asked what thematic words are most common in the pair’s life, fueling their ability to do what they currently do, Saxton suggests “creativity” while Page adds “love. Being able to do what you love with a partner is something totally different and unique. There’s work and obligations to be dealt with, but to do the creative work that you love with someone you love, that’s really just pure joy.”

MAKIA FREEMAN: “Yes, DEW and Laser Weapons are Being Used Against the American People”
“The ordinary person finds it hard to detect it when DEW are openly used. They just believe it when the MSM says ‘wildfire’. However, it is an open fact that the US Government has a long history of experimenting upon its own people, e.g. the 1930s Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the 1940s Guatemalan experiments and the 1960s CIA LSD experiments. With these recent fires in Paradise, California, the evil has sunk to new depths. There is abundant evidence the government used DEW to decimate the area, selectively destroy targets (while leaving other adjacent buildings and even forests intact) and commit mass murder.”

DEW (Directed Energy Weapons) are no longer the stuff of conspiracy theory. In the last few months in the US, there have been a number of incidents where DEW, laser weapons and perhaps other high-tech energy weapons have been openly deployed against the American people. Both the Santa Rosa (2017) and Paradise (2018) so-called “wildfires” in California demonstrate the fingerprints of DEW, with seemingly impossible scenarios of houses, trees, plants and even mailboxes neatly left intact while adjacent houses and fences are completely razed to the ground. Unsurprisingly to those following the crimes of the NWO (New World Order), the deployment of these weapons is tied to the deeply sinister UN Agenda 2030.
Directed Energy Weapons — Just DEW It
One reason the NWO manipulators can get away with their crimes against humanity is that most people are downright ignorant of the true state of technology, whether it’s mind control tech, HAARP/ionospheric heaters/Space Fence, 5G or anything else. Dr. Judy Wood was one of the first people to gain notoriety in talking about DEW, when she put forth her excellent and well-founded theory of the dustification of the twin towers in the 9/11 false flag operation. Wood pointed out the inexplicable lack of solid matter (concrete, steel, other metal, etc.) that should have been found in abundance on the streets on New York below the WTC but which was nowhere to be found. Where did it go? It was turned to dust.
Researcher Jamie Lee who runs Tabu and APlaneTruth.info has recenty had his main YouTube channel censored (surprise, surprise), however he is starting a backup channel. He had many videos up exposing DEW in relation to the Paradise fires, including a video which revealed existing laser technology which “dustifies” metal and easily removes rust from it (while sparing the wood beneath it).
DEW Fires, Not Wildfires
The giveaway clue that DEW was used in Santa Rosa and Paradise is the way that specific homes were burnt along property lines. Some houses were untouched with fresh produce out front, or orange trees in the backyard, next to houses which were razed to the ground. These “wildfires” left mailboxes, plants, front yards, back yards, eucalyptus trees and other highly flammable things untouched, while somehow neatly and perfectly targeted particular houses, neighborhoods and areas. Are these the most selective “wildfires” in American history? How can one house burn to the ground while each house on either side remained completely intact? Wildfires obviously don’t do this. Some people were, horribly, killed in their cars. There were reports that as many as 50,000 went missing or died!
California Wildfires and UN Agenda 2030 Connection
Agenda 2030 (formerly Agenda 21) is the UN agenda to centralize governing power in a One World Government by taking it away from the autonomous nations states of the world. In California, city officials are suggesting not to rebuild in burnt areas because the area is too fireprone, all the while prohibiting the people from practicing good forest stewardship. (Some have suggested that the “wildfires” went right through an area where an Agenda 2030 high-speed rail is planned to be built, although that may or may not be the case.)
This appears to be a massive land grab. The plan is open spaces for the rulers and stack-and-pack micro apartments for the masses. Yes, it’s important to care for the environment, but the green movement has been hijacked. There is an ulterior motive to granting rights to inanimate objects like rocks and rivers, a trend which is happening worldwide since it is part of the NWO agenda as implemented via the UN. See it happening in New Zealand, India and Ecuador. By granting human-like rights to non-humans, the NWO conspirators plan to thwart the decentralized sovereignty of the people, kick them off the land and force them into human habitat megalopolises.
High Strangeness in Louisiana and New York
Meanwhile, 2 incidents in Louisiana and New York respectively at the end of December 2018 may lead you to wonder what other kinds of exotic laser weapons the government possesses and deploys against its own people. In Kenner (a small town in Louisiana), massive beams of blue light shot from the sky to set on fire and destroy buildings below! These beams looked like they were deliberately aimed. UFOs can be seen too. Are the UFOs causing the destruction or harvesting energy from it? Was it DEW? “Finger of God” plasma rays? Government or alien op? You decide. It’s out-of-this-world footage and usually something one only sees in science fiction films.
In New York, there was a similar but not quite the same event with blue light. In the district of Queens, something turned the sky a weird blue color which emanated across the entire city. Officials say it was due to a transformer explosion at an electrical substation, which also caused local outages and grounded flights at LaGuardia Airport. What was really going on here?
Conclusion: DEW Your Homework
As the corrupt J. Edgar Hoover once said, the average person is handicapped when coming face to face with a conspiracy so monstrous he cannot believe it exists. Although he said that in regard to communism, the idea has a deeper meaning.
The ordinary person finds it hard to detect it when DEW are openly used. They just believe it when the MSM says “wildfire.” However, it is an open fact that the US Government has a long history of experimenting upon its own people, e.g. the 1930s Tuskegee syphilis experiments, the 1940s Guatemalan experiments and the 1960s CIA LSD experiments. With these recent fires in Paradise, California, the evil has sunk to new depths. There is abundant evidence the government used DEW to decimate the area, selectively destroy targets (while leaving other adjacent buildings and even forests intact) and commit mass murder.

FAMILY HEALTH INTERNATIONAL (FHI)
"The Reproductive Health Research Unit (RHRU) University of the Witwatersrand, in partnership with the FRONTIERS Program of the Population Council, and the KwaZulu Natal Department of Health conducted a three-year operations research study titled "Men in Maternity" (MIM) in the Ethekwini district. The study was completed in July 2003...The intervention was clinic-based and included two broad strategies: improving antenatal care services by strengthening the existing antenatal package and service monitoring and supervision; and introducing couple counseling by providing training to health providers, inviting partners of antenatal women to attend counseling twice during pregnancy and once post delivery, and providing information to couples with a new antenatal booklet...At follow-up few differences were found between the control and intervention groups to support the hypothesized effect of the intervention. Significant differences were found only in changing communication, partner assistance during pregnancy emergencies, and knowledge of the condom as a method of dual protection"

Mexican authorities apprehended nearly 24,000 illegal immigrants in May and deported some 16,500, the most for any month in four years, government data show. Most of them were detained near Tapachula, one of the biggest Mexican cities bordering Guatemala.
So Trump is doing some good, right?
Update: *detained and deported
Yes. Taking care of them until deported costs huge amounts of money that we need for our own people.

#511 A weekend of Nintendo
Following my Friday’s Blog Post, it seems that the magic Nintendo Stars aligned to grant me a wonderful Nintendo filled weekend. First my paycheck arrived and with that I finally caved and bought the Legend of Zelda Majora’s Mask 3D edition. I will talk about that game more once I sink more play time into to to get past the second or third dungeon and enough of the side quests. I will say Majora’s Mask has some excellent level designs, with the ability to communicate what the game wanted me to do without any handholding or tutorials beyond the movement controls and it has some of the best 4D puzzles I have ever seen in a game.
I’ve been eyeing this game for a while and it was …wait for it… about TIME I picked up this game
After that I remembered that Club Nintendo was closing down and I still have not cashed in my Club Nintendo Fun-Bucks, along with the complementary Flipnote Studio 3D app for being a Club Nintendo member I also downloaded the Virtual Console edition of the Game Boy color game, The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening DX.
Link’s Awakening is the Game Boy port of Link to the past, which is the predecessor of my favorite 2D Zelda game, A Link Between Worlds and the inspiration to one of my favorite games series of all time, the Binding of Isaac. Lets hope the port holds up with compared to it’s other brothers in the genre.
I did not realize I was as much as a Zelda fan I was until this generation of consoles and handhelds.
The other highlight of my past weekend was that I finally received my free copy of Super Smash Bros for Wii U and 3DS. I wrote about this before but this was free promotional gift to everyone in Club Nintendo that bought both copies of Super Smash Bros and registered on the Club Nintendo site.
The Album is two discs with 36 songs and tracks each, one from the 3DS soundtrack and the other from the Wii U version of the game and best of all it is a physical copy of the soundtrack, with a colored insert and all. The thing is this was only for Club Nintendo users, and it would have incredibly simple, and cost effective to simple email everyone who qualified a web link to one of their servers for just a simple .zip file. But no, Nintendo went out of it’s way to order, produce and ship these out to the presumed thousands of people who bought both games.
They did not have to but because they did they have earned a bit more respect in their customer appreciation department now.
This is a great weekend because with the purchase of Legend of Zelda, Majora’s Mask and Link’s Awakening have been looking for a reason to open up and play my 3DS beyond just updating and exhausting all my free turns in Pokemon Shuffle. Now only if I could find a killer game that would give me motivation to boot up my Wii U.

#503 The Mega Man White Whale
This past weekend I did an unprecedented thing, I woke up early on a Saturday morning when I had a no third party obligation to do so. I woke up early to travel to the next city over’s Best Buy to finally capture my current white whale, an Amiibo of the Blue Bomber for my very own.
As I wrote during the last time I talked about Nintendo’s newest wave collectible figurines, I wanted the Mega Man Amiibo only to buy him Ironically. As it is established, Mega Man is a part of the Smash Bros character roster who is a third party Intellectual Properties. From how we have seen Nintendo’s rocky-at-best relationship with other gaming companies and how CAPCOM handle Mega Man’s future games I can almost guarantee that Mega Man will have no Amiibo support for any non-smash game during the Wii U life cycle.
In fact I bought him because of that, same reason when Duck Hunt comes out. because someone has to buy their are so few officially licensed products.
With Mega Man in my possession, I can now stop activly hunting Amiibos and constantly thinking about Amiibos at least for a while.
No more weekend Amiibo hunting trips with my younger brother going up and down every toy store in town, no more casual drive by to stores before and after work. No more searching and constantly refreshing the pages of Twitter, Reddit, and Amazon hoping to find an online store that had Mega Man in stock. I was so close to caving in and buying from a Amazon scalper at twice the price.
Most importantly of all I can stop worrying out the terrible thought of missing my window of opportunity of securing the Amiibo I want before Nintendo stops producing him and the demand, and cost goes through the roof. I can put all that fret and worry behind me because I have him now. Currently displayed on my makeshift Amiibo shelf, only to be taken out of his box when a New 3DS or Wii U game is released that specially support him.
He has to earn his freedom

#497 Nintendo’s Amiibo Distribution Rant
I finally caved this past weekend and bought my first Amiibo to add to my collection. The newest member to my collection was not Megaman, an Amiibo I am planning to buy ironically (Be MOP #493), but instead the ever wise Princess Zelda.
Had to settle twice over. Wanted Megaman, but couldn’t even get the best Nintendo Princess.
I have literally searched everywhere, whether online or in the physical stores everyone was sold out of the Blue Bomber, and I refuse to be scalped by third party sellers. But this only shows signs of a bigger problem that Nintendo has with the implication of their newest merchandise, the utter lack of support and communication with North American toy and gaming stores.
The Walmart in my area is one of the worst victims of this, with the worst variety of stock I have ever seen, with an abundance of Luigies, a few Zeldas and Bowsers, and one single Princess Peach to fill up the entire Amiibo display. The gamestop just down the street had almost the same amount of selection with only a few extra Samus and Pikachus but a serious lack of Amiibo Wave II and Wave III representation.
I honestly do not think that Nintendo planned for this level of hype and a culture of fans avidly customizing and hunting down Amiibos to be as big as they originally thought of when they first implemented the Amiibos. It shows with the shipping and receiving support and the overall poor communication with the stores.
come on it’s simple Supply and Demand. Economics 101.
While the shortage were possibly understandable at launch,but now we are at the third wave of Amiibos, Nintendo now has some idea the demand for these figurines from each region and should modify their supply production accordingly. I should not have to have travel to three different stores, constantly checking online stock as well to find the supposedly common, non-exclusive, Amiibos, like Marth, Villager, and my personal white whale, Mega Man.
I am still mad about all that shenanigans with the exclusive Amiibos at certain retailers are in fact US exclusive, exclusive deals. The rest of the world does not have to shop at a Target or Toys R Us for a Rosalina or Lucario, respectively.
There are rumors of reproducing the more rare Amiibo statues, and confirmation of the production of Amiibo cards with just the computer chip which is a step in the right direction, but does not help the main drive I have for collecting Amiibos. While one of the reasons I buy Amiibos are for the in game unlockables, like the racing suits in Mario Kart 8 or the learning computers in Super Smash bros, the major reason I have become so excited about the ideas of Amiibos is that they are cool little figures of some of my favorite videogame characters that are not only relevantly high detailed but low barrier for entry for collecting in terms of cost and -ideal- accessibility.
Ideally I could stop by a game or toy shop and pick up some videogame character statues with pretty impressive details without having to go online or attend the expo floor of a gaming con to play through the nose for any other kind of statue of Mega Man, Pikachu, or Mario.
#493 Playing the long con with the Mega Man Amiibo
Very lately I have been feeling the recurring itch to go out and buy more of Nintendo’s Amiibo.
I have already own five amiibos already but I want more. Despite the fact that I only have two amiibo supported games and out of the five I only got one to level 50 in Smash.
I was doing well in to not caving into the temptation to buy more plastic dolls inposeable action figures but the third waves of amiibo figures just started arriving on the store shelves and out of all of them one is particular has caught my eye, Mega Man.
I want a Mega Man Amiibo not because I main him in Smash, like I do with Pikachu, or because he is one of my favorite videogame character. No I want the Mega Man Amiibo because he belongs to a set of Amiibos characters that will never, ever get any more Wii U/New 3DS amiibo support.
Yes Mega Man falls into the unfortunate group of Amiibos, with Pac Man and Sonic, that are videogame characters made by other gaming companies. Looking back on Nintendo’s past history with cooperating with third party companies and the hassle it is licencing other company’s IP, it is safe to say that we will not be getting any further support of these 3rd party characters.
not to mention that the Mega Man game franchise is dead in the water.
I have lucked out with my own Mario, Link, and D.K because I know that those few will get supported in almost every future Nintendo game. I am going to go out of my way to ensure that I have the blue bomber statue for decoration and possibly for smash if I can be bothered to do so. While you might think I am wasting money, I am instead playing the long con.
It is a fact that Might No 9 will be coming out soon and with the HOPEFUL success from this totally-not-mega-man Kickstarter game. My hope is that it will finally shame CAPCOM enough to force their hand and finally make a long over due Mega Man game. If CAPCOM does make a console version of a new Megaman game you can bet your bottom dollar that it will be on the Wii U and if it they will would be foolish NOT to offer Mega Man Amiibo support. Then I will have the last laugh when everyone and their mom will be scrambling to find a Mega Man Amiibo in time for the CAPCOM game’s release when all I have to do is just dust it off from my shelf.
Its a bit of big gamble, but if I win the payout will be huge.

#483 Thoughts on the New 3DS Handheld
In the middle of this week Nintendo hosted their monthly Nintendo Direct NA feed across the internet. Nintendo started the new year running with status updates on some confirmed games for this year, while revealing some new upcoming projects and most importantly Nintendo showcased their newest handheld, the New 3DS device.
As of right now classic 3DS is going to be pushing four years old next month, so it was not too surprising to hear that a newer, slightly upgraded model coming to the shelves. Because of this wonderful thing called ‘The Internet’ and ‘Globalization’ the western world knew about this for quite a while, and I have given it some thought over the past few weeks on whether I should abandon my old 3DS device, go out, and purchase this new edition to device line.
The funny thing is that while I just celebrated my 3DS’s one year anniversary, my brother just got his 3DS XL last week just for Smash and Pokemon.
Th New 3DS model comes has some new features and gimmicks added over the classic model. Besides the Super NES colored buttons, the major selling points Nintendo has stressed are; faster processing power than the regular 3DS, Amiibo/NFC support added to the bottom screen, face tracking technology so that no mater what angle you face the screen the device will adjust itself to prevent any 3D tearing.
All those selling points are interested and neat, but so far it is not worthy enough to do a day one buy for this newest Nintendo handheld, but possibly to replace if mine 3DS ever breaks down, considering it as a replacement rather than an upgrade. The big question is, “How much will the New 3DS be a must buy to enjoy future Nintendo handheld games?”
In order to have the New 3DS be considered a hard hitting, must buy, successor to the four year old 3DS, it needs to have some hard hitting system sellers that utilizes the Amiibo capabilities and the faster processor. Currently Nintendo has confirmed that 3DS smash will be patched in with Amiibo support and they also have the New 3DS exclusive Xenoblade Chronicles port but I need something more to convince me that this is a good investment, worthy of upgrading.
As always Nintendo could force my hand by making their next big Mario, Zelda, and Pokemon game exclusive to the New 3DS handheld. We might see that in the upcoming year, I honestly do not know the future of Nintendo and their New 3DS.

#464 The Magic of Strategy Guides
It has been about two weeks since Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire hit the US shelves, and since then I have played through most of the game before I realized that I forgot that I did not buy the official strategy guide for the game. Not that I need it, I know the hoenn story, dungeons, and basic world layout like the back of my hand even though the remake of the game is more handholding than the original.
But buying a player guide is an old Nozell-Pokemon tradition, whenever my brothers and I would receive a new Pokemon game we would also get the strategy to go with the game, a trend that dates all the way back to the classic Red and Blue game, continued with every new installment to the main series.
This was not my original R/B guide, but an amazing Goodwill find.
Even when it got to the point when I started buying my own Pokemon games and game devices I still set aside some of money for the strategy guide, partly for tradition, and partly because I wanted all the extra, hidden and postgame content Game Freak added that I know I missed on my first play through.
There is something more added, nostalgically magical, when playing with a strategy guide on your lap or by your side than compared to sitting next to a computer with a webpage opened to an online walk through. In my experience strategy guides only really works with consoles and handhelds, when you have a lap available, and I was quick to learn with my time with World of Warcraft, an MMO with frequent hot-fixes and content patches does not translate well to the non-updatable media of paper and ink and with Steam and Steam community overlay feature, with a catalog of player created guides, added to most of the games on steam’s catalog, has almost completely killed PC games guides.
Having a strategy guide has always been an vital part of my Pokemon experience, seeing those dungeon maps, the tips on beating the various gym leaders and elite four members and the stats of almost all the Pokemon and Items is just needed for me to get the full Pokemon experience. . Also there is something to be said about the way the guidebook is designed is beautiful, the way the book lays out the data, it is like a wonderful grown-up picture book, something to read and re-read on a lazy weekend day, while your 3DS is charging up.
“read and re-read on a lazy weekend day, while your 3DS is charging up.” I am speaking from experience.

#462 Thank Goodness for Handhelds
If you live in or near my home state of New Hampshire, you might be aware of the pretty nasty snow storm that decided to pay us all a visit this Thanksgiving, with a Blackout that decided to stop by as well, during the worst of the storm’s stay. My family lost our power around 7 pm after dinner, during the time we were settling into our nighttime routines, then flick, the power died leaving us with no Wifi, no TV or Wii U, no lights, no heat and no power for our chargers. The only electronic thing we had were our own charged devices.
While the candles were lit around the house, news came in that both neighboring cities were included in the Blackout and there was no ETA on when power would be returned for our district. Like at a drop of a hat everyone in my pitch black house started playing their own version of ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’, making sure to use the remaining power on their Laptops, phones, and MP3 players for only the essentials, and doing sparingly enough to try to last throughout the blackout.
At the time of writing the power in our house has been out for 24+ hours, still with no ETA on repair, and I wrote the rough draft of this post at night by candlelight, and right now I am typing this up and publishing it at my local Library.
During these dark and very cold times I have come to appreciate everything little thing about my 3DS. The fact that all physical copies are DRM free in the regard that the cartridge does not take count on how many devices have played this game or that it is tied to a certain Mii-verse user So i can easily hand off my finished 3DS games to my younger brother to provide some ‘new games for him’. Continuing that thought, it is great that even Nintendo’s most popular games do not force you to follow an Always online requirement which is wonderful thing to not worry about when you have no WiFi or any other way practical way to connect to one of their servers.
“Take this game for instance, the online features are nice, and does improve the game, but it’s not needed to get the full experience of the game and it’s not the major selling point for the game.”
Speaking especially about Nintendo products, the battery life span in the 3DS, and in most of their handhelds is nothing short of amazing, resulting in me powering through my adventures in Hoenn under a pile of warm blankets long after all of my siblings phones and iPod’s battery cells dried up
Now long time readers might figure out that this is almost point for point the same as my previous praising of my mostly Pokemon device back in Be MOP #339, and that is because it is. But sometimes it takes the worst, most inopportune gaming times to make you appreciate all the little things, like the features on the 3DS or spending quality time with your snowed in family for the holidays by just quietly reading books together next to a dining table filled with lit candles.

#444 Almost Completing my Ultimate Pokemon Quest
Yesterday was a big day for me, if you followed me on Twitter you know that I went on the exciting trip to buy ANOTHER Pokemon game. Not just any Pokemon game. this particular plays vital role towards completing one of my greatest Pokemon quest of all time. My long running quest is to try to transfer my Classic Generation 3 team through the various editions of Pokemon games to my eventual copy of my Pokemon Generation 3DS remake.
So close…also just like ten years ago, Omega Ruby is the superior choice.
During the spring time I did some spring cleaning and I found a handful of old Pokemon games, including the original Pokemon Red/Blue along with my copy of FireRed and my younger brother’s Emerald game (Be MOP #371)
He did not give me his Emerald, I saw that it has a few lv 100 Rayquaza’s and then phoned him up telling him I was adopting his game whether he liked it or not, and luckily he was cool with it.
If the past few blog posts has revealed anything I been on a major Nintendo Games kick, and the catalyst of that gaming streak is my second playthrough of Pokemon White, my old game file that had the unlocked the ability to transfer Pokemon from older games, was deleted just before I rediscovered old my Gameboy Advanced games.
After a bit of research I found out that Pokemon White/Black, although does have the power to accept Pokemon from Generation 4 and send off Pokemons to the PokeBank, it does not have the GBA transfer feature that I desperately need to send my FireRed team to the New Hoenn.
Since I reaching toward the end point of the story campaign in my Pokemon White file I decided to go shop around, to see if I could obtain a second hand copy of a Generation 4 Pokemon game, whether it be Diamond, Pearl, Heart Gold or Soul Silver. Luckily I was able to find what I need at the first stop after a bit of chit-chatting I was able to walk out with a used copy of the cheapest version of their Generation 4 game, Pokemon Pearl, in one hand and a code for my very own Shiny Gengar in the other. From my past experience with second hand copy of Pokemon games I was hoping for a fully completely save file, with the unlocked transfer feature, a nearly completed Pokedex, possibly a few extra legendaries.
After returning home I boot up the cartridge to be greeted with a game with less than 44 minutes on the file. So now I have one more new game to add to my backlog, BUT I now have all the pieces I need.
I have two DS systems with GBA compatibility, my 3DS, my PokeBank pass, and at least one edition of every Pokemon from generation three onward. After such a long wait I will soon be able to finally, finally transfer my 10 year old Pokemon, and any Pokemon from that point forward to the newest 3D(S) world, and with the creation of the PokeBank there is nearly no limit on the number of old Pokemons I can transfer to the next generation.
I am just hope I am able to play do everything I want to do with this project before Pokemon OR/AS becomes obsolete.
#442 Building up Hype for Bayonetta 2
It was another weekend and another weekend has come and gone and with that I spent my free time playing Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 online play, and more of Pokemon White. But one new game I was playing the Demo of the Wii U exclusive, Bayonetta 2. consider it warming up my Wii U for some amazing titles come this holiday season.
I have played through the demo of the game twice, and even though it is just the prologue but it is full of constant, no context, combat. Right out the gate the game asks me to fight off waves of angelic mechas and monsters on a jet plane which speeding through a main square of a city. After you think it’s done, the demo leads you to the giant King Kong style boss fight where you fly around fighting a giant monster as it climbs up a skyscraper.
The game makes the promise of continuing that level of intensity throughout the entire game and after playing through the demo twice I realized that the kicker of the demo is that the entire sequence is only the prologue of the main game, meaning I played a part of the game that is not even in the main game and combat.
I am literally counting down the days
The game demo is not the only reason I am excited for this game, because if you have been paying attention I have been casually mentioning this game, Pokemon ORAS, and Super Smash Bros as a few games on a very short list of games I am eagerly waiting to be released for this upcoming holiday season.
One of the reasons why I want this game is that since I played the Deadpool game I have been waiting for another fun near mindless beat em up game that was also entertaining to play through, while I only scored bronze medals and a few silvers one the different stages in the demo there is the option for me to improve my combo mashing skills while not impeding my advancement through the game. Bayonetta 2 is also an excuse to boot up my Wii U for another game, my poor console has been sitting in my room, waiting for a new game to play, since my initial games I bought with the device from a few months ago.
But the biggest reasons I can not wait for, well lack of a better words, the fan service that Platinum Games has added to Bayonetta 2. While I have been trying hard to avoid any spoilers to the main plot I been going actively looking for all the Nintendo inspired Easter eggs added to this game. The most noticeable is the special unlockable Bayonetta costumes inspired by some of Nintendo’s characters, that offers different play styles or by using the classic sound files from Zelda and Mario games.
Metroid for the Wii U confirmed?
As I said in Be MOP #392 I love it when the game developers adds those little things like this into their game because it shows that they are confident or the game is polished enough to allow the creation, design, programming, and implication of these nonessential bit ans trivial content and nods to the player into the game
Also I won’t be so above it all to say I really want to play through Bayonetta 2 because it is a Wii U exclusive. Because of Nintendo’s decision to fund Platinum Games for a sequel, this experience denying it to all other gamers. It is childish but I call it the annoying brother syndrome, wanting something because you know others can’t get it.
This is a first time I get to play a third party exclusive mature console specific game with no hopes of a cross platform port. This is a new feeling for me.

#520 The Pickings from Wave 4 Amiibos
The newest wave of Amiibos are just around the corner, May 29th to be precise, and with that I have to evaluate which Amiibos are worth picking up.
I have done this with every Amiibos waves, from the first wave I was able to secure my Smash main plus a handful of others, I chose Princess Zelda from all of Wave 2, and I went on a bit of an adventures in the search for Mega Man and and the Golden Mario amiibo from Wave 3. Now with a month away I get to do the same thing this this batch, this wave we have Wario, Charizard, Pac-man, Ness, Robin, and Lucina.
I have to evaluate all the waves so I don’t go out and buy all of them (there were so many times I picked up Sheik and Sonic for no other reasons besides just to have more amiibos)
This time next month I am going to try my hardest to secure a Pac-man Amiibo for a variety of reasons: He is a video game veteran, I like his play style in Smash and he might be the first Amiibo after Star Fox that I will be leveling up to 50 in Smash. Before I watched the April Nintendo Direct the biggest purchasing point would have been that Pac-man, like Mega Man, would NEVER have any non-smash support from Nintendo. That was my plan until Nintendo casually mentioned that both of these two 3rd party Smash champs will be getting their own Mii racing costumes with the next patch to Mario Kart 8.
I’m still not letting Mega Man out of his box until we get a Amiibo Supported Wii U or 3DS Mega Man game
Maybe my initial outlook on third party, and the less popular amiibos, being left out in the cold while Mario and his gang gets constant support for every future game might have been wrong. It could be quite possible that Nintendo does have a plan to bring non-smash support to every one of their amiibos, so far we have Fire Emblem support in Codename S.T.E.A.M and amiibo support for the other third party game, One Piece: Super Grand Battle X.
So there is some hope out there out there for constant across the board first and third party support for every amiibo on the market.
I don’t count games like “Amiibo Touch & Play : Nintendo Classics Highlights” as a proper amiibo supported game, because just like the ‘Masterpiece’ feature in Super Smash Bros for the Wii U, it is only there to promote and sell other eshop games.

#499 The return of the 3DS Time Capsule
I have recently run into a bit of a conundrum, I have currently run out of 3DS games to play. I gave up on Bravely Default game, after much self hype (Be MOP #487). Funny enough it was a just game that could not click with me, too much of a micromanagement JRPG for my liking. Besides that, I have been waning and waxing on my other source of 3DS entertainment, my burning desire to be the best, that no one ever was, by completing my X/Y and OR/AS pokedex.
At this point I can not even be bothered to finish the regional dex, let alone the national dex.
Right now I am patiently waiting for the window of opportunity to open for my time to buy Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask for the 3DS. sometime after my next post-PAX paycheck. Two games I have been sinking my teeth into.
Some recent cleaning have allowed me to unearthed some old DS games, the two are the original New Super Mario Bros. and the other has held the focus of my spare time, Super Mario 64 DS, a game that takes the title of Nintendo’s worst gaming name of all time.
Its a Super Mario game with two suffixes, so much worst than any Nintendo games with “New” in the name.
I have played through it all the way once before when I first received the game back in 2004, but it is only replaying it now how much I appreciate Super Mario 64 DS as a wonderful game. It has all the original N64 textures and graphics with the added gameplay feature of the second screen serving as the map for the area and the option to play as Yoshi, Luigi, and Wario on top of the original Mario.and the gameplay is greatly improved by the addition of the 3DS circle pad.
Playing through Super Mario 64 DS for two reasons, one to get me back into the N64 play style or the OoT and MM3DS ports a kin sequel to my pre-smash hype (Be MOP #429) where I played some origins and best of retro games of some of the Smash characters. More importantly I have been playing through Super Mario 64 DS because I can, out of all of the gaming companies, Nintendo is the only company to embrace backwards compatibility, meaning I can still play a 10 year old game and any other Nintendo DS game just like new.

#485 Goodbye Club Nintendo
Sad news for Nintendo fans, but Tuesday morning Nintendo made a press release announced that their six year old consumer rewards program, Club Nintendo, will be closing down by the end of this year.
The rewards program is based on the nostalgic codes included with physical copies of games which you could exchange for physical or digital goods. Nintendo has started to phase out the service, by preventing anyone for signing up for an account the day the press release went live, the last day of March (31st) will the last time Club Nintendo users to earn and redeem coins, with the closing of the entire service for North American users by June 30th.
The funny thing is, only two weekends ago I went through to my collection and redeemed my Wii U and 3DS codes to finally achieve platinum status.
It is a shame to see it close down, but not surprising factoring in the potential cost of production and shipping of some the nicer Nintendo products out there
I only started the the participate in the Nintendo rewards program at the start of 2014 and since that time I was able to redeem several very nice complimentary gifts including; the virtual copies of the first Legend of Zelda, Kid Icarus, Metroid and Super Mario Bros. for the 3DS, the remake of Zelda Wind Waker for the Wii U, the physical copy of Super Smash Bros soundtrack and the code for Mewtwo DLC in Super Smash.
It is honestly a toss up between what Club Nintendo Reward I hold dear, a free HD remake of a childhood classic or the two disc soundtrack
Nintendo has stressed that with the closing of the Club Nintendo program they will be rolling out a new, updated, consumer rewards program later in the year once everything from Club Nintendo has successfully be closed down.
Hopefully with the connectivity that Nintendo’s handheld and console devices has with the internet and Nintendo servers, I hope the new rewards system is something more automatic than entering codes online through a website, maybe Nintendo can make it work with a special 3DS/Wii U New rewards system app
I also hope that with the new Nintendo Rewards program is that they keep the free digital games as a reward (which I would not expect to be dropped because digital codes are the one reward that cost nothing to the company) but on top of that I hope they improve the quality of the games in the reward sections.
The free 3DS and Wii U games given away through the Club Nintendo program has always given me the impression that it was A novelty or consolation prize for the the people who could not earn enough for the good physical items. The original titles of the Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games are nice to have as artifacts of the old times but those were the cream of a some rather uninteresting crop of games.
Something beyond the NEW/Gameboy era of gaming
Nintendo I know you have some of those really good Super Nintendo and GameBoy Advance 3DS ports placed under lock and key, its time to bust them out for this new program and maybe, for the high level rewards offer some cross buy titles to boot.

#476 Finally Buying Super Smash Bros. for the 3DS
Last Monday night, with some spare Christmas cash I caved in and bought Super Smash Bros for the 3DS, on the way to home from work.
This is the wonderful time, for me, where all the extra holiday cash from work and family comes in after Christmas where I go out and buy all the gives I wanted to buy for me.
Like before, I have talked about the idea of buying 3DS Smash before (Be MOP #450), knowing that for a fact that I was going to buy the Wii U edition on day one but even with the ability to use the 3DS device as a spare controller for the console game I was still hesitant on buying the same game twice, and at full price no less.
I was still on the fence on buying it this past weekend, until I was talking to my younger brother about my dilemma and he asked me two very simple questions.
Is the game good enough to buy the game again on another platform? The answer is yes. After playing through Smash on the Wii U I can say that it is one of the only two recently released games I would buy again if it meant getting another copy of the game, that and Binding of Isaac Rebirth are the only two games to hold that honor.
BoI:Re for the 3DS WHEN!?
The other major question was, “Is this going to be one of the major games to bring to PAX and to an extend all future gaming conventions?” The answer was also another yes.
From my observations it has seem that the past few year it has seem that the Nintendo 3DS has secured it spot as THE gaming device to bring to any gaming event. With the StreetPass incentive to push you to bring your device out into the public, but their games like Pokemon and the built in Street Pass games were the perfect ways to pass the time in the long lines I predict Smash will be the same type of game where you can turn to anyone in a line for panel and play a few rounds just to kill time and make a friend or two along the way.
I would not be buying it now if it was not for a PHYSICAL copy of the game’s soundtrack. it’s like Nintendo knows just how to push the buttons of our wallets.
As I mentioned at the beginning that I did ending up buying the game for the handheld, within the few days of playing the game, and to a surprise to no one, I have surprisingly enjoying the game. Going in I knew the fact that the game would be a full port of the console game but I did not realize what that meant until I saw that it was the full Wii U game with the same controls, all the items, and the full character roster with locked 60 fps, all crammed into such a tiny game cartage
Now I can get good on the go!
Funny enough it was the same two questions that forced the same brother I was talking to go out and buy a 3DS, Smash, and the latest Pokemon, for the exact same reasons, because he loved the game and because he knows that this will be the game everyone will be playing in their spare time at PAX.

England vs India, 1st Test, Day 2
Aug 2, 2018 Aug 2, 2018 dannycricket
I’ve written this on my phone because my computer is apparently taking a few hours to update, so please excuse the brevity.
It’s been an up and down day for England. If you had offered Root a 13 run first innings lead this morning, he would almost certainly have snatched it gratefully. As it is, he is likely disappointed that England aren’t at least 100 runs ahead.
There are three broad themes for the day. The first was England’s very good bowling performance. Surprisingly good, in all honesty. Whilst the first spell by Anderson and Broad was a bit tame, Sam Curran soon changed that and took 3 wickets in quick succession. Stokes continued this after Lunch, and India were on the ropes at 100-5.
Which brings us to the second theme of the day: missed chances. Cook and Malan both dropped fairly simple slip chances, including one from Kohli when he was on just 22. Hardik and Kohli steadied the ship and, although wickets kept falling at the other end, Kohli guided India’s tail until they were almost level with England.
The third the of the day was Kohli’s brilliance. Particularly at the end of the day, when the ball had stopped swinging, Kohli dominated the English bowlers who were utterly unable to keep him off strike. Much has been written about Root’s conversion rate ”problems”, but one genuine weakness is his (and the other England batsmen’) inability to bat with the tail. They either fail to shield the tailenders from the strike, or play so aggressively that they throw their wickets away. Kohli did neither, and so India scored another 124 runs for their last four wickets.
With a slight lead and almost half an hour left, England will have wanted to just see out the day without losing any wickets. Cook unfortunately couldn’t manage that, falling to an almost exact copy of the ball which dismissed him in the first innings. On one hand, it was a very good ball. On the other, Cook is (by reputation at least) England’s best player of spin, so him getting out in this way is pretty troubling for the rest of the team.
The umpires didn’t have a great day either. There were several successful reviews, plus another two decisions which would have been overturned if they had been referred. In all honesty, I can’t think of any day I’ve seen with more overturned decisions.
As always, feel free to comment about today and tomorrow’s play below.

Just a brilliant day’s cricket which I enjoyed immensely. A masterclass from Kohli and plenty of ebbs and flows throughout. Hope the remainder of the Test is as good.
Adam H Aug 2, 2018 / 7:02 pm
One thing I’d add is how poor Stuart Broad was today. His days at international level are very much numbered. In fact, I’m willing to bet he will have has lost his place in the XI by the start of next summer’s Ashes.
dannycricket Aug 2, 2018 / 7:20 pm
Yeah, I totally agree. Although guessing whether he’s in the XI means second guessing Ed Smith, which I’m not sure I can manage after he picked Buttler and Rashid.
jennyah46 Aug 2, 2018 / 9:48 pm
Broad’s form fluctuates frequently. I can’t think how many times he’s been written off only to come back with a superb spell of bowling. Having said that his age will surely count against him and he is injury prone. He’s been known to bowl unfit, when he shouldn’t. The results of that can be as painful as his injury.
quebecer Aug 3, 2018 / 12:31 am
To whom might be the issue, Adam.
Pontiac. Aug 2, 2018 / 7:33 pm
It’d be interesting to compare, say, the performances of Kraigg Brathwaite to those of Cook over the last couple years.
If my computer was working, I had something lined up. Maybe tomorrow?
oreston Aug 2, 2018 / 7:41 pm
Well here we are at the end of day two of a match being played on a surface that seems by most accounts to offer an unremarkable degree of menace, yet the third innings of the game is already underway. England didn’t bat as well as they might’ve done yesterday and the Indian bowlers capitalised. A similar story in reverse today, with only Kohli playing a decent hand. Even that might’ve been in vain if England had held onto a few more catches and hadn’t failed yet again to clean up the tail (OK, that might be harsh as Kohli was apparently superb). At least it’s a fascinating contest though, if so far unexpectedly low scoring. I happened to walk past Edgbaston shortly after 6.00pm – sadly about as close as I’ll get to the action. I think I heard them singing the praises of one “Ali Ali Cook” in the Hollies stand. Presumably this was the distraction that proved his undoing…
Mark Aug 2, 2018 / 8:12 pm
It’s interesting how poor cricket can lead to great entertaining cricket. Had England been the ruthless oiled machine that they would like to be the catches would have been taken. Kohli would be our for 21, and India would have been about 120/7. Likely a 100+ lead, and an almost certain England victory.
But no, poor fielding lead to a great innings and virtually parity of the two sides. And everyone saying how much they enjoyed it. Funny how that works.
Pressure very much on England now, because if they screw up tomorrow it will be what should and could have been.
psoans Aug 2, 2018 / 9:23 pm
But that’s how a test should be. It reveals your character. Kohli is probably one of the most disciplined and determined players ever.
Elaine Simpson-Long Aug 3, 2018 / 6:14 am
Watched every ball,of Kohli’s innings. A masterclass in how to stay and build. And in the early evening when bowlers were a bit tired the boundaries flowed and it was just beautiful to watch.
Tom Aug 3, 2018 / 9:19 am
I haven’t been able to watch much cricket this year due to circumstances at home (there’s a bit of volcanic activity to deal with) but managed to watch the 2nd day highlights via sling.
No comments on most stuff, highlights tend to misinform, but I was impressed with Sam Curran – it’s really the first time I’ve seen him bowl. He’s not tall and not fast but seems to bowl around 85 mph which is sharp, but there’s something in his action that reminds me of Wasim Akram. A short run-up and a good action but it’s a flurry. Speaking as an ex-opening-batsman, I think he would have troubled me because the ball comes out of his hand faster than you expect and he clearly swings the ball as well. One or two of his deliveries looked to be almost unplayable.
Interested to see what others think.
Hope everyone’s OK and have missed reading the blog and comments recently. Seems we have Hurricane Hector on the way so apologies if I go off-air again but should be around for two or three days.
PS. Really happy to see Rashid back in the test team. First time in my lifetime we actually have a decent leg-spinner.
Mark Aug 3, 2018 / 11:14 am
Yes, I like him. It’s good to see someone new. What I like about him is as a swing bowler he pitches it right up there. He is not afraid to go full. Sometimes other swing bowlers prefer to protect their figures by bowling short and wide. Because of 20/20 the full ball is seen as high risk because if you get it slightly wrong it goes for four.
Problem….. as you point out is what happens when it doesn’t swing? Reminds me a bit like Mathew Hoggard, similar pace. If the ball was swinging he could be a real handful, if it wasn’t, he became cannon fodder,
LordCanisLupus Aug 3, 2018 / 11:47 am
If Sam got up to 85 mph then he’s put on a bit, because the word on the street is that he’s not sharp enough. The fact that his speed gun readings aren’t much different to Jimmy Anderson’s (at Headingley) passes the geniuses by, but there you go. Not for Jimmy the “he’s losing his nip” that accompanies less stellar performers like Matthew Hoggard, because now Jimmy is smarter than ever. Again, don’t take this as me asking for Jimmy to be dropped, but just look at the message we are being given. Jimmy bowls well and takes no wickets is up there with Cook getting another good ball.
Sam is never going to be more than a third seamer who will chip in some big runs at some point. Woakes-esque but with the advantage of offering something different as a left armer. Of course, after one test Shiny Toy said he could be our Charminda Vaas, which is idiotic, but something I’ve become accustomed to from that man.
Good luck with Hurricane Hector. Stay safe.
metatone Aug 3, 2018 / 9:26 am
Some thoughts, including my promised grumps:
First though, some plaudits:
1) England bowled really well for most of the day. The conditions favoured them, but they actually bowled to take advantage. (So often in the past they have wasted it.)
2) Kohli rode his luck, but really that was a classic battling innings, full of grit and (esp. when farming the tail) tactical decision making.
3) Despite the poor play at times, the tension and individual battles were a great advert for Test cricket.
Grumps:
1) Both teams looked undercooked – although it afflicted the batting more than the bowling. Really fed up of the 1st game in a series being a crapshoot of players trying to remember how Test cricket works.
2) I forgot to emphasise in my predictions how much everything, but everything, depends on the weather for this England team. Roll on some clouds and humidity and the swing makes them look like world beaters. The long range forecast suggests the next couple of Tests will favour them this way too. In this way Curran (who bowled very well) is just another one off the swing rank and this will come back to bite us when we have to play away.
(If you think I’m over-egging the issue, note how the bowling faded when the conditions shifted lat in the day.)
3) Bowling was good from England, but not sure about the tactics. Anderson wanted Kohli so badly it hurt, but was it good for the team in the next innings (or next match) for him to bowl such a big spell.
4) What is going on with Broad? Injury? He didn’t set the world on fire in his first spell, but there was plenty of opportunity to give him a go when Stokes was getting tired.. and they didn’t… so while Broad didn’t bowl great, I can’t say he was given a fair go so far.
Still, as a spectator, the game in finely balanced and India can hope Ashwin keeps them in the game…
OscarDaBosca Aug 3, 2018 / 11:32 am
Regarding conditions.
1st hour was baking, sun out few wispy clouds India 50-0.
The clouds arrived and I joked to someone will this improve the bowling, Curran came on and it worked, however I would also point out he bowled fuller and straighter and made the batsman play.
After tea the sun came out, however Anderson was sometimes losing a bit of his action (even if that was the spell he got his wickets). Stokes looked tired, Curran looked tired, almost as if they had ignored a spinning option in the 2nd hour after lunch which would have allowed them to keep fresher. So I wouldn’t say it was all conditions as fatigue and captaincy were also responsible.
Re: Curran overseas / not swinging. I think his skiddy action and wicket to wicket approach could help him overcome any lack of help in conditions and I think he should be given a chance. He can only learn what works for him by playing in foreign environments
I think England may have to rethink the idea of 3 left handers in the top 5 against Ashwin.
Sherwick Aug 3, 2018 / 1:19 pm
Perhaps 4 or 5 then Mark?
The four of us who watched it live are in agreement that clearly we missed the memo.
Kohli’s batting masterclass particularly with the tail was a joy to watch.
The rest of the day was a mixture of a few (5-6 overs) bowling spells that were compelling but also non-test batting (trying to score off every ball) which made it less compelling that high class test cricket.
I’m not sure whether the quiet atmosphere in the ground added to this, but it wasn’t the day (from our point of view anyway) that the fourth estate appeared to make out.
It was a good days cricket but not The Best Test Match cricket ever.
As I write this Root has just gone, he looked comfortable, whereas Malan and appears to be trying to hit everything out the park.
Ashwin turning it though.
Can see India winning by tea at this rate.
People are well aware of what I think about this “greatest ever” shite. It’s clickbait, it’s lazy, it’s annoying, it doesn’t take anything into account that is more than six weeks old half the time, and when something genuinely brilliant happens, it has been devalued and those that didn’t see it will go “oh well, who knows”.
I am increasingly resembling the old man shaking his fist at the cloud. Fighting this lazy rubbish. Vaughan is among the worst at it, the true Robbie Savage of cricket punditry, but he’s not alone. Edgbaston 2005 Days 1 and 3 were great days of cricket. Day 4, curtailed as it was, was test cricket at its best. High drama built at the end of a long story, with so many sub-plots and so many great players. Are we making this a “great” day because Virat Kohli, at the sixth or so attempt, made a score in England and so he’s confirmed it in the eyes of the cognoscenti that he’s the real deal? Did they need that to happen?
I genuinely wonder what this generation of commentators would have made of Viv Richards in his pomp playing in this era.
Agreed. Don’t worry about being an old man shaking his fist at the cloud. You will find it will get worse as you get older. Particularly with today’s media.
I also find it interesting how many pundits have used the phrase….. “Cook is back to his best” …in the last 2 years,
The “best ever” means absolute nonsense. Here today gone tomorrow punditry.
oreston Aug 3, 2018 / 12:12 pm
“Can see India winning by tea at this rate.” I thought this might be unduly pessimistic when I read it earlier, but England have imploded. Lunch taken with a lead of 99 and only 4 wickets left – so events seem to be bearing you out. Realistically, from here England would probably need a century from Buttler, or some fantasy bowling, to stand an earthly. What was at least an interesting match position last night now looks drearily predictable.
OscarDaBosca Aug 3, 2018 / 12:24 pm
It’s felt like it all morning unfortunately.
I have been coming to tests long enough to know that this sort of morning you can settle in for some slow batting waiting for the shine to go off the ball. Sit back, watch the overs go by slowly, because once the balls a bit softer you can score quickly.
This morning every batsman that came in didn’t settle, not because of the bowling but more because they wanted to get bat on ball.
Someone needs to take them aside and explain how to build an innings in test match cricket
LordCanisLupus Aug 3, 2018 / 12:31 pm
I love a little KP, as you know, so here goes.
Remember Edgabston 2008, when we were playing South Africa. We were a little behind on first innings, and some people early chucked their wickets away (do check out a certain opener’s dismissal….) and then a chronically out of form Paul Collingwood joined the always lively KP. They dug in, they scrapped, and the partnership built. Collingwood fought hard, KP started flowing. And England moved forward, in to a position of a strength. And then KP went down the wicket to get to his ton, didn’t clear mid-on, and was on his way – for 94 I think.
The roof came off. Irresponsible. Selfish, Stupid. How could he? Threw the match away (without him there was no match).
England lost the next day because of Smith’s innings (and he being out at least twice with no decision in our favour) and the rants went on. So what did we do? We made KP captain.
Moral of this story? We’re mad as a cricket nation, we blame the highest scorer, we focus on one particular event that “cost” us matches, and fuck me, what we’d give for someone to get out irresponsibly for 94 these days. Oh, yes, Paul Collingwood made a sticky old ton when he resolutely stuck in and never gave up. An example to us all.
OscarDaBosca Aug 3, 2018 / 1:11 pm
Also as I was there and watched both innings unfold – I think was also the match with Flintoff v Kallis which is my favourite ever passage of play I have watched live – Collingwood went for a ton by hitting it for 6.
The hypocrisy in the crowd was stunning, KP was apparently arrogant and stupid and threw it away, 20-30 minutes later Collingwood was brave and showed that ‘South African’ how to do it.
Collingwood remains my favourite England Test Cricketer
Seriously I give up at England’s ability to understand what test batting is.
So this morning I have witnessed very few defensive leaves or a proper forward defensive or even Fletcher’s favourite a front-press to the spinner.
Stokes could have left it, it was too high and lunch was a couple of balls away.
Bairstow could have left it on line and length.
Malan had a couple of lives and from his first ball tried to hit the cover off it.
Root could have eschewed a shot for a defensive press
Can’t remember Jennings.
In the space of a few hours we have thrown away what could have been a match defining session (well it is likely to define the match in India’s favour, but the ball isn’t doing that much, just ODI batting in a test arena)
Ironically another 80odd runs gets more than India’s highest run chase to win v England, however usually 4th innings chases are defined by a deteriorating day4/5 pitch.
This will start today at some stage and finish probably sometime tomorrow
I remember writing this after we had won the 2nd Test v Pakistan….
“I maintain, and will until I go blue in the face, that without big hundreds, the opportunity to make massive scores to insure them against flat wickets and insufficient power bowling, England need people to be regularly scoring big centuries. Jos showed it wasn’t impossible – and he’s going to have to get used to being stranded if he keeps this form up – and yet our top batsmen have now got one ton between them in the last five test matches. I’m worried. Sorry, that’s just a bloody fact. While we might get a wicket we can bowl teams out on in this green and pleasant land, it’s not going to get us much further if we can’t string big innings together.
There are no easy answers and we (I) am not pretending there are. There is no solution easily to hand, so that’s why maybe I’m a little more down on this team than others who seem to suspend critical thinking on the basis of an upward tick in a single test. The fundamental issues apply still.”
But then I was seen as too critical.
When we wake up and realise that the likes of Bairstow, Stokes, Cook, and yes, Root, are to blame as much as those who can’t establish themselves in this train wreck of a batting line-up, the sooner we admit the problem then the better we can address it. Because a win here on the back of a miracle bowling performance will only paper over the cracks.
Oh. Malan is now the one to be dropped. Good luck the next one. Two tests ago he was mooted as our number 3. Now he is mooted for the chop.

Was that the post that led to an interesting debate with the press in the comments section?
LordCanisLupus Aug 3, 2018 / 2:58 pm
A member of it.
Still, we can always rely on a lower order player to keep a game alive. It’s a blueprint for future tests.
thebogfather Aug 3, 2018 / 12:22 pm
Ne’er mind
Batting coach, Ramprakash
With contract extended yet so undefined
In a mind meld of fear that’ll continually crash
Collapsing approaching the inevitable
Media currently grandly smiling in self love elsewhere
So the malady of Malan tis but a shelf of cupboard bare
He’s gone, no elan, next cab will be rank, I despair
#Noangerlefteither
Wait until they pick Burns. They’ll wait until he has a run of low scores, or no scores, and then see his rather ungainly, unattractive technique and the media will pick it apart when he fails. And he will, sadly, because this isn’t a great environment to come into right now.
Meanwhile Alastair will continue to get good balls, Keaton will have a better technique until he doesn’t, and Joe Root will make a fifty every three innings and be blamed for the failure of others. This summer has real catastrophe potential if India keep their foot on the gas.
quebecer Aug 3, 2018 / 3:21 pm
You’ve hit on a very important point. Bayliss is getting stick for not taking the test team forward, but Ramprakash has taken our batsmen backwards. Stokes looks far less balanced than he was, Bairstow has gone from giving glimpses of the test batsman he might become to glimpses to the test batsman he could have become. Root is still falling over to off, and all of them are playing needless shots and getting out to them.
The point, I think, is less about the lack of players pushing for spots or the failure of those coming in, but rather the failure of Root, Bairstow, Stokes, and Cook to do well and be better.
if you have a batting coach, then he has to take responsibility for the batting, and after long enough in the job, then he can be judged depending on progress or regression. Regression it is, and Ramps is holding the bag for that.
Still angry, but then I paid to be here.
Seriously you swish at your first ball after lunch???
That’s your vice-captain right there.
Jos’s problem with tests is that he doesn’t have a huge track record of digging in for the long one, and quite often gets found out between sticking and twisting. It’s what got him dropped in the first place. At his scintillating best, he’s great. But there’s not a lot of middle ground. With all of them there is this chimera of a dazzling upside. Pity is we’re ensnared in a miasma of mediocrity.
Even in an ODI after just coming out to bat he would try and get his eye in.
However at number 6 he isn’t meant to come in at 90/5.
Cook apart there just seems to be no one in the top 5 who is prepared to take the shine off the ball. Cook has other issues but he knows his game and how to construct an innings.
We miss Collingwood and need another nuggety cricket who knows his game and his limitations and is prepared to grind all day
Zephirine Aug 3, 2018 / 8:00 pm
I miss Collingwood….. sigh. I’m very fond of Morgan but there’ll only ever be one Colly. How much longer have we got to wait before he can be England coach?
I would replace Malan with Morgan.
LordCanisLupus Aug 4, 2018 / 9:13 am
If England lose and Rashid doesn't bowl more than a last ditch token then explanation needed. I'm guessing Mo would have bowled by now. If England win, then it doesn't matter a hoot.

Pontiac Aug 4, 2018 / 1:27 am
I got to admit I’ve lost track of him somewhat and after looking at the numbers, my goodness, he’s taking them at 27.something lately and that’s for real. Comparable to Morne Morkel? And he’s not old or broken either.
dlpthomas Aug 3, 2018 / 12:49 pm
On the bright side, Jimmy will get an extra 2 days rest.
Scrim Aug 3, 2018 / 12:54 pm
Bright idea to schedule day 4 and 5 on the weekend.
Can’t shift for Lord’s (except I think next year’s Ashes test starts on a Wednesday at the Imitation Home of Cricket).
The weird thing about this match is we are about 50 away from India’s highest run chase for a win in England. Probably 75 runs away from giving our bowlers a target.
I was glad to hear Micheal Holding not allowing the new Cook excuse to take root. Which is that it’s impossible for left handers in the age of DRS because you can’t get your pad in the way without being out. It means that even the greatest players in the world (no sniggering at the back) have no chance.
While it is of course a big problem of the review era Holding pointed out that it’s still better to get your pad in the way than being bowled. As he said….. the umpire might give it not out, and if it’s clipping the bail the batsman will get the benefit of the doubt. Sangakkra suggested that maybe he should get across to off a little more to hide his stumps. These we should note are former overseas players. They seem to have more freedom to offer some perspective.
I didn’t hear Holding, but the point is well made. The thing is Ashwin didn’t really do much apart from being an off spinner getting a little turn coming over the wicket. The ball pitches on about middle and straightens to hit middle and off? That’s not a magic ball, but rather a pretty standard one. In all honesty, it reminds me of what he did to Ben Duckett.
Perhaps what Mikey is missing is that from a batsman’s perspective, you either have to be closer to the pitch of the ball, or play as far back as possible. prodding out a bog standard forward defensive shot presuming the ball won’t deviate is simply missing it. The DRS point is valid, but that’s why batsmen have had to adapt to counter. KP did it remarkably well, and was fully aware of the necessity, and I had thought Cook had worked it out too.
Not at the moment though. You get bowled twice by the same ball early on in both innings of a test? That’s squarely on the batsman.
metatone Aug 3, 2018 / 5:24 pm
Same ball twice is the big bugbear for me. You knew it was coming, he knew it was coming and… he’d changed nothing to prepare for it…
Some more random thoughts.
Why are England playing with 1st, 2nd and 4th slip. There is a big gap, and funnily enough the drop was 2nd diving to where 3rd would be
Why not open with Curran instead of Broad, he’s just got his highest score, bowled well in the 1st innings and Broad has done nothing all match
Brilliant reverse jinx.
I thank you 🤔😂
Now do it again please.
One more and it’s very interesting
Going to try with…
Kohli has looked very comfortable and hasn’t looked troubled at all
And on cue Broad gets a wicket.
If I was Vaughan I’d claim it 😂😂😂
Would like to see the ball tracking on that LBW.
More random fielding, England have a fielder midway between fine leg and square leg not really covering either and I’m not entirely sure of the point
The atmosphere is much better today though with the Hollies stand full
Hitting top of middle
One of the Sky commentators said that Broad has been suffering with a “touch of the flu” for a couple of days but he seems to bowling OK today
Is he on a roll?????
He’ll need to roll back the years…
He has the crowd behind him, the atmosphere has got to the usual post tea loudness with added spice that we need to take early wickets.
Could be all over by this evening if we take two more
Hope kills.
I have never understood the concept of test match coaches for batting and bowling. Imagine turning up at the Masters as a golfer and suddenly being allocated a new coach who says your putting stroke is wrong, and you need to change your backswing on your driver. It’s madness.
Players should be responsible for their own technique, and they should be selected on such. If when they play Test cricket it’s not up to the task then so be it. But you can’t expect someone who has played a certain way most of his career to change in a few weeks.
Top players can make adjustments, but it needs to be done with their own coaches and tried out in county cricket. A couple of nets with Ramps isn’t going to cut it. We expect too much from the coaches, and in fact I think they may make things worse.
Time for Rashid?
Always time for Rashid
Only when it is too late to matter.
It’s almost like they don’t want to get Kohli out…
Pontiac Aug 4, 2018 / 12:32 am
I’m not putting this on the other thread to avoid spoiling the mood but that Rashid isn’t going to get to bowl until Anderson, Broad, Curran, and Stokes have all burnt off 20 overs tomorrow (for better or for worse) is … garbage.
Evidence on what’s going on here has accumulated over the years, and the relevant context is wider than Rashid himself.
0300 but there is no way I’m going to bed. If we can get Kohli…………….
We’re not getting Kohli, he’s playing a different match to everyone else
I would give a Rashid a go now. There is only 15 minutes left. Does Kohli want to attack at this part of the day?
England still have runs on the board.
Yes I would but it seems to me from pitch side that Root isn’t really in control.
Yesterday it appeared to be Anderson deciding on the length of his spell.
Today just before Stokes most recent spell Rashid was clearly warming up, he came over took his cap off and Stokes walked up also took his cap off gave it to the umpire and got the ball.
Rashid just put his cap back on and wandered off to fine leg again.
It seemed clear to us he was due to bowl, but Stokes decided he wanted to and so did
Why does this not surprise me?
Oh, and why are they playing on after 6.30? There is not enough time to win tonight?
d'Arthez Aug 3, 2018 / 5:46 pm
Apparently play can be extended in England, if they have come off for bad light or rain. Why they can’t extend play if the fielding side cannot be arsed to bowl 14 overs / hour is beyond me.
Because there was bad light briefly before tea (odd decision by the umpire)
So play was due to finish at 6:20 because of the delay.
Plus because no side can ever manage to bowl their overs an extra half hour was added
Root carrying on the fine tradition established under Cook.
I am sure Rashid will be dropped / criticised for not taking any wickets in the second innings. Mind you bloody hard to take wickets as a bowler, when you’re not bowling at all.
Sophie Aug 3, 2018 / 7:09 pm
On the plus side, he scored more than Cook and Buttler together.
Well if you have a ticket for tomorrow you will get a fun session of play. And the ECB won’t have to refund any money.

What is This World Coming To? 73-Year-Old Nursing Home Resident is Charged With Killing his Roommate
This undated photo provided by the St. Louis County Police Department shows Willie Clemons. Clemons is accused of second-degree murder in the death of Larry Harris, 69. The two men were roommates at a St. Louis County nursing home. Harris was found beaten to death early Wednesday Jan. 2, 2019. (St. Louis County Police via AP)
ST. LOUIS — A 73-year-old man has been charged with murder after he admitted to beating his roommate to death at a Missouri nursing home.
Police were called to The Estates of Spanish Lake Nursing and Rehabilitation facility in St. Louis County just after 7 a.m. Wednesday. Officers found 69-year-old Larry Harris dead.
Prosecutors charged 73-year-old Willie Clemons with second-degree murder. He is jailed on $250,000 bond.
A probable cause statement says the men were roommates. A nurse found Harris in his bed and not breathing. The statement says Clemons admitted to the nursing staff that he punched Harris several times. It wasn’t immediately clear what led to the attack.

Silk Road Delights IRT Guests
The oasis of Crescent Lake at Dunhuang, China.
Spanning five countries – China, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Russia – on two trains — the first-class Shangri-La Express and the luxury Golden Eagle — the Silk Road always seems to electrify our travelers.
“The trip was fabulous!!” one guest gushed, following this year’s trip in April. “I would recommend it to anyone…
“The guides were great about letting me and some of the other oldsters keep up,” said another. “Too many highlights to describe…
“Jeff and I agreed there really was no bad day. Thanks for making everything so easy.”
IRT traveler David Minnerly enjoying the Golden Eagle’s dining car. IRT Photo by Eleanor Hardy.
(We’d like to make it easy for you too. Contact us to book either Silk Road journey in 2020 — one in April, the other in October.)
Meanwhile, how does the Society of IRT rate these trains?
Here’s our president, Eleanor Hardy, who traveled the Silk Road several years ago:
The Shangri-La Express: “Hands-down the best train in China. We do not consider this a luxury train, but the food, service and entire experience were considerably upgraded since the last time we’d ridden it.
“And since then, the sleeping cars have been upgraded again. Diamond Class cabins now have private en-suite shower and toilet.
“There is no better way to see these out-of-the-way destinations. ”
The Golden Eagle: “The Imperial Suites – three to a train – are worthy of their name. Staff is exceedingly accommodating, friendly, and some are bilingual.”
One of three Imperial Suites on the Golden Eagle. Bonus: these spacious accommodations also include private English-speaking guide. Photo by Golden Eagle.
Family picnics on the shores of Kunming Lake at the Summer Palace. IRT Photo by Owen Hardy.
BEIJING: “The sprawling Summer Palace grounds are populated by friendly picnicking Beijinger families — large clusters of grownups surrounding one or two “Little Emperors” or “Empresses.” This is a major tourist attraction that still maintains a distinctly local flavor.”
The Mogao Thousand Buddha Complex. IRT Photo by Eleanor Hardy.
DUNHUANG: “The Mogao Thousand Buddha Cave Complex is a must-see. The wildly colorful frescoes and massive statuary are visually stunning — and are important reminders of the vital role the Silk Road trade route played in spreading culture and religion in addition to fine cloth and spices.”
SAMARKAND: “You have to visit Registan Square at least twice – once by day and again by night. The blues in the architecture here are magnificent, and the way the Square lights up after dark is spectacular!”
IRT travelers in front of the “Genghis Hole” of Merv. IRT Photo by Eleanor Hardy.
MERV: “Unbelievably well-preserved evidence of 12th-century warfare: huge holes in the sides of the fortress wall where Genghis Khan aimed his catapults. Close by, the house where the king’s daughters jumped to their deaths to escape the approaching horde.”
Textiles in the markets of Khiva. IRT Photo by Eleanor Hardy.
KHIVA: “Stunning madrasas, minarets, and bazaars. The markets here made for excellent shopping: richly embroidered textiles, colorful pottery, and ornate jewelry were plentiful.”
MOSCOW: “Tours of the Kremlin, Red Square, and St. Basil’s were thrilling – but we all agreed that our night at the Bolshoi Ballet was THE experience we would always remember from Moscow.”
2020 Dates: April 13-May 3 (Beijing-Moscow), October 1-21 (Beijing-Moscow)
Note: Already been to China, or short on time? A 13-day trip covering Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan and Russia is available. For more info, click here. Tour runs twice in 2020.

Mosquito populations give a new insight into the role of Caucasus in evolution
Tagged biodiversity, biogeography, Caucasus, chromosomes, cytogenetics, Diptera, entomology, evolution, genetics, karyotype, larvae, mosquitoes, taxonomy
We know that the Caucasus is a relatively large mountainous region, situated between Black and the Caspian seas. In its turn, it is divided into three subregions: Ciscaucasia, Greater Caucasus and Transcaucasia, also known as South Caucasus.
A closer look into the chromosome structure of mosquito larvae of a curious group of species (Chironomus “annularius” sensu Strenzke (1959)), collected from the three localities, has allowed Dr Mukhamed Karmokov of the Tembotov Institute of Ecology of Mountain territories at the Russian Academy of Science to figure out how the specificity of the Caucasian region has simultaneously unified its fauna geographically, yet has divided it evolutionarily. His paper is published in the open access journal Comparative Cytogenetics.
Having collected a sufficient amount of mosquito larvae, the researcher managed to study the chromosome structure, rearrangements and possible peculiarities of the separate Caucasian populations, in order to compare them.
Additionally, he analysed their relations to earlier known populations from Europe, Siberia, Kazakhstan and North America.
Amongst the curious peculiarities Karmokov identified in the chromosome structure of the studied larvae were some rearrangements which appear unique to Caucasus. Furthermore, he found that despite the close geographic proximity, the genetic distance between the Caucasian populations is quite significant, even While not enough to determine them as separate species, it could prove them as separate subspecies.
In conclusion, the scientist notes that the obtained data confirm that the Caucasian populations of the studied species have complex genetic structure and provide evidence for microevolution processes in the region.

Book Review: The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau
Like probably a lot of readers, I picked this up fairly recently in the wake of Graeme Macrae Burnet‘s second novel – His Bloody Project – being shortlisted for the 2016 Booker Prize (and which has just now worked its way to the top of my reading pile). And absolutely fair play to his publisher – Saraband, a tiny but brilliantly creative Scottish publishing house (check out the video to support part of the backstory of this first novel) – for using the Booker to add a bit more juice to an earlier novel.
Bedeau purports to be the author’s translation of a French cult classic by one Raymond Brunet (see what he did there?): one that has been effective enough to confuse more than a few poor souls. It is, of course, a novel, with the ‘translation’ constituting an elaborate structual device whose purpose is conjectural but which seems to have been to support what is arguably the book’s main purpose. John Fowles of course deployed similar structural devices in several of his works.
The novel itself need not detain us too long: it is, in truth, a rather slight story with the disappearance of Ms. Bedeau being simply a MacGuffin on which to hang a study of two men – one being a detective; the other a social misfit who may know something about the disappearance but who has a complex psychological history – located in smalltown France (the very real town of Saint-Louis, close to Strasbourg). Having himself spent some time living in France, Burnet’s observations are well-informed and the novel’s keen sense of atmosphere and place, particularly around the role of food and drink in French society, is likely to owe significantly to his experience. The tale is assured and well-told, with chapters consumed by your reviewer at a rapid pace and unfolding in a well-described timeframe, partly in the current and partly in flashback for both the main protagonists; and there is an appreciable level of sly humour surrounding the author’s observations. And yet ultimately the author pulls his punches on the main plot; sub-plots are left undeveloped and, in one case, completely hanging; and the key to the denouement of the main plot appears trivial and would, thus, be unsatisfactory in a more major work.
It is interesting to learn (from the author’s profile page on the Saraband website) that Burnet is returning to his detective – Inspector Georges Gorski – in his next novel, since this gives us the key to Bedeau‘s main purpose: it is a homage to Georges Simenon, the French writer whose Inspector Maigret books are modern classics and who (alongside other European crime novels) is a declared major influence on Burnet as an author. It is in this novel-as-homage that we might view some of its weaknesses (weak and poorly developed female caricatures; bad sex scenes; a level of misogyny in describing the women characters and one instance of casual racism towards the book’s end): this is not Burnet’s voice, necessarily, but that of the purported author he is translating and whose roman fits into a genre of cheap, and rather dated, French detective novels which are themselves Simenon pastiches. Consequently, we should probably cut Burnet a little slack on such weaknesses: in this reading, this novel of his is only partly his own and the weaknesses may stem, more or less built-in, from the purpose of the novel-as-homage rather than from the mind and the pen of Burnet as himself. It will thus be interesting to see how Gorski features next, what device Burnet will use to support his re-appearance and how much of Burnet’s own voice, as opposed to him acting as a channel for forgotten (and minor) French authors, is contained in that work.
In the meantime, I’m looking forward immensely to hearing a little more of Burnet’s own voice sans the influence of French crime novelists in His Bloody Project.

Keck Foundation Grant Establishes Freshman Research Initiative
SJSU professors are using a grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation to create a freshmen research initiative. Clockwise from back left: Assistant Professor Alberto Rascón, Jr., Professor Resa Kelly, the program evaluator; Professor Daryl Eggers; Assistant Professor Laura Miller Conrad; Mallory Kato, the program manager; and Professor Lionel Cheruzel, the principal investigator on the grant. (Photo: Jim Gensheimer)
The new Freshman Initiative: Research to Engage Students (F.I.R.E.S) will launch this year and is poised to help the university advance both its research and student success missions. Enabled by a $325,000 grant from the W. M. Keck Foundation, this new program aims to engage undergraduate students in scientific research from the very beginning of their time at San Jose State University.
The team spearheading this program includes four chemistry professors from the College of Science with experimental research laboratories: Professor Lionel Cheruzel, the principal investigator on the grant, Assistant Professors Laura Miller Conrad and Alberto Rascón, Jr., Professor Daryl Eggers, Professor Resa Kelly, the program evaluator along with Mallory Kato, the program manager.
Cheruzel and his colleagues strive to usher in a research-driven educational culture by introducing first-year students to the benefits of research. In order to do so, an introduction to research course (Chem 190) will be used to foster student’s spirit of discovery and train them in the basic skills necessary to excel in a research environment.
At the end of the course, students will work directly with two professors’ laboratories in two-week research streams. During these streams, students will have the opportunity to look closely at the various research questions being investigated, perform cutting-edge research, and learn how to be part of the scientific community.
Cheruzel believes the experience will motivate these students to [continue] on in one of the various research laboratories throughout the remainder of their undergraduate career to supplement their degree.
“There are benefits to having students who can stay on for three or four years doing research,” Cheruzel said. “Some of my most productive students have come straight out of Chem 1A.”
Within each of the research laboratories, the professors have seen how engaging in lab work and publishing their findings in notable journals has benefitted their students. After applying their education to real-world problems, demonstrating a persistence to training and developing stronger connections with faculty, these research students not only leave SJSU with a bachelor’s degree but with a skillset that distinguishes them from their competition.
“They are highly marketable,” Cheruzel said, noting that many of his former students have gone on to prestigious graduate schools or started careers with prominent biotech companies.
Based in Los Angeles, the W. M. Keck Foundation was established in 1954 by the late W. M. Keck, founder of the Superior Oil Company. The Foundation’s grant making is focused primarily on pioneering efforts in the areas of medical research, science and engineering and undergraduate education. The Foundation also maintains a Southern California Grant Program that provides support for the Los Angeles community, with a special emphasis on children and youth.

“Catan + Trek = FUN!”
View / Hide »
Star Trek Catan Details:
Time to play: 1 – 2 Hours
Age:10+
Set-up: 10 minutes
Based on the iconic game Settlers of Catan – Star Trek Catan plays much the same way. If you like Catan and you like Star Trek this is a no-brainer. Star Trek Catan is the very same game we all know and love, with the addition the Star Trek theme and one new mechanic. If you are familiar with the game play of Catan then you will almost immediately be able to jump into Star Trek Catan.
So, what does the change in theme bring? For me, some very cool changes. No longer are we playing with wooden pieces…they are now replaced with molded plastic versions of the starship Enterprise and the familiar federation space stations. The ships are equivalent to roads, the space stations replace towns, and in place of a city simply add a second tier to the space station. Both the ships and the space stations are attached to clear plastic bases about half an inch tall. Personally, I love the theme and for me it feels very much like a new game. The board is still constructed of randomly placed hexagons with randomly placed numbers. However, the hexagons are now different colored planets (red, blue, gold, white and green) that correspond to the different resources (Tritanium, Water, Food, Oxygen and Dilithium). The robber has been replaced with a fearsome Klingon Bird of Prey that trolls the galaxy robbing moving as always with the roll of a 7.
The new mechanic is the addition of Character Cards/Support Cards that give you a specific advantage based on the card currently in your possession. For example, Captain Kirk allows you to do one of two things: if you have more than 7 cards when the next 7 is rolled, you can use your Kirk card to avoid losing any cards. Or, if you have less than 7 cards, you can use it to take 1 resource of your choice. When you’ve used one of the character cards for the first time you have a choice: flip the card over and save it to use again later (after which it must be returned to the table), or you can immediately return it to the table and choose a different card. While this is the only mechanic change to the game it adds a great deal in the way of strategy without dramatically changing a beloved, classic game.
This is a great addition to the world of Catan and also the world of Trek. My family loves playing Catan and now we have found a fresh interest in Star Trek Catan. Of course that is probably influenced by our love of all things Trek!

“Not just a lazy reskin/retheme but a very good game!”
Original Review @ Ooo, Shiny! (with images)
Prior to playing Star Trek Catan, my wife, son and myself had only had the experience of playing some board games, like Catan, via the Xbox 360. We loved playing it that way because it didn’t require such an investment to play it on the table. After some time though with the digital editions not getting as much love as the table versions, we eventually had to give in.
Hence, Star Trek Catan hit out table, two times in a row and then another third the next morning. For the record, all three I lost (wife won, son came second) and I have learned not to play competitive games when sleepy (re: poor loser). All in all though, it is now our #1 family game to hit our table and we don’t have any reason to get the standard Catan as Star Trek Catan, even as a max 4 player game, still wins out.
If you want to know how Catan itself fairs in the mix of all this, I recommend checking reviews specific to the base game of Catan as Star Trek Catan lacks some of the additional features the Catan expansions bring to the table and it would be unfair to judge it against them.
Image: End of Game #2
The general premise with Star Trek Catan is to try and be the first player to hit 10 Victory Points (VP) by trading resources to build outposts (settlements) and starbases (cities). There is also Development Cards to acquire for the Longest Starfleet bonus (as well as the infamous Longest Supply Route) but the prime difference with the original Catan to Star Trek Catan is the Support Cards.
Image: Support Cards
As you can see, the Original Series crew are injected into Star Trek Catan to add in bonuses to the player for a maximum of two uses before they have to put it back in the pool and choose another. Of our games, Kirk, Scotty, Spock and Uhura end up in regular use with Sulu not far behind. They all have their uses depending on what is happening in your hand and on the table and for us are a welcome addition to the game. Without these, it would just be a reskin of Catan with no real true feeling of Star Trek to it beyond that of the miniatures/tiles.
The set up process as well is very simple. Infact, the first proper game we played (Game #2), I had the son (13 y/o) set the game up as it was that simple and the rest of us hadn’t done that aspect yet. For once in many of our games in our collection: setting the game up is actually interesting rather than some games feeling like a chore.
With myself being a sore loser at times with competitive games, I actually rate Star Trek Catan fairly high in our games. Just like the wife and son, it definitely is a go-to game now when we want to play something together. Infact, we’ll be introducing it to our family shortly whom love simple games and hate complexity. We have a few games we plan on buying in the (near?) future to introduce to them but this is one of the first we’ll be proud to have them learn and know they will love it!
Whether you are a board game beginner or a longtime board game fan, Star Trek Catan will satisfy your cravings if you lack a copy of one of the other games but perhaps may not be favoured to those who dislike Star Trek. Our household is very Star Warsy but we enjoy the odd bit of Star Trek here and there. Even with that, we LOVED the theme of this game and highly recommend it to any one else who is standing on the fence.

“Catan: Warp Speed!”
-Typical Catan resource gathering and development game play, but with a nice speed boost and a strategy twist.
-Support cards add unique abilities that can be used to enhance the normal collecting/trading/building processes.
The gameplay is more or less identical in almost every way to the standard Settlers of Catan board game. You gather resources under new names: Dilithium = Wood/Lumber, Tritanium = Clay/Brick, Food = Sheep/Wool (lamb chops, anyone?), Oxygen = Wheat/Grain, & Water = Ore/Rock). Once you gather some resources, you can trade them in to build starships (roads), outposts (settlements), starbases (cities), or to buy a development card on your trek (sorry, I had to) for victory points. Hmm, they couldn’t think of a new term for a development card, it seems. Why not something like a Matter Conversion Distributer? Too lengthy to print on the building costs card? Ding, ding, ding! I think we have our answer.
New elements: “Support Cards” bring new life to this classic game and can speed up game play considerably, especially for veterans. Each player is provided with a support card that represents one of the characters from the Star Trek original series. Each has a unique ability that can be used up to two times (but only activated once per turn) before trading in for a new role. These unique abilities include some game-changing effects like forced resource trading, the ability to gain a resource card when rolls do not produce them, and 2-to-1 trading (without using a [port]).
Depending upon your familiarity with normal Settlers of Catan mechanics, these cards can provide a VERY powerful boost for the overall game speed as resources can be accumulated and used more efficiently. In a two-player game, for example, we found that the playing time was reduced by 10-20 minutes in a game with absolutely zero player-to-player resource trading. As a veteran of Settlers of Catan (mind you, only the base game with 5-6 player expansion), I found these abilities to be an AMAZING benefit for the game. Catan can (sometimes) seem to drag on if one or more players are not collecting the right resources or using them wisely. The support cards seem to negate that issue, which was my only element of grief with the first game. For strategy gamers, these cards can add a nice layer of strategy to this game, as players get to choose among the available support cards and can reap the related benefits.
The board and card artwork really pops and is a welcome Trek-themed version that greatly differs from the classic Catan style. The cardboard components are similar in quality to the 4th edition of the Settlers of Catan game (relatively thin, but not terribly so). In lieu of the wooden settlements, cities, and roads, the game includes very fragile-looking plastic pieces (including a lovely Klingon ship as the Robber/Soldier). The starships, outposts/starbases are all placed on clear plastic bases to give you that “floating in space” effect, but this adds a considerable time to set up (at least initially). Be careful with these fiddly bits and they may last long enough to boldly go where several predecessors have gone before (though at a marginally higher altitude). Of course, if they do require a little patching up and someone complains, don’t miss the golden opportunity to loudly proclaim that you’re “a doctor, not a miracle worker!”
The rules were not as logical and straight-forward as one might expect for a themed release of such a popular game. That being said, anyone familiar with the Settlers of Catan game play should have minimal need to reference the rules other than to review the mechanics of the support cards.
REPLAY FACTOR:
Star Trek Catan brings new life(forms) and new civilizations to an old favorite. While I was admittedly a bit skeptical of how much power Scotty could bring to the Catan game, I was greatly impressed by the themed modifications made and the enhancements the support cards provided. They boldly take the old classic Catan to new places!
-Classic Catan-style turn play with simple mechanics and dice rolls.
-Support cards add new game play options and some mild strategy.
-Space-themed, eye-catching artwork.
-Easy for Catan veterans to pick up.
-Attracts Star Trek fans (if they aren’t gamers already, this might do it).
-Game plays a faster due to support cards. Warp speed!
-Rules book could use some maintenance.
-Plastic pieces may need hull reinforcement or a good repair crew over time
-No 5-6 player expansion available (yet)
-No tribbles (Yes, I was hoping they’d be worked in somewhere)
Star Trek: Catan is a good re-themed version of an old classic. If you like Settlers of Catan and like or love space themes or Star Trek in any form, this game will deserve a place on your game shelves. While I would never consider selling the classic game, this version is definitely the preferred version for me. The game play is faster, the artwork is more energetic, and the support cards offer new options. For those reasons, I feel that this game is “Givin’ it all she’s got!”
Live long and prosper with resources in this game!

“I was a little underwhelmed.”
Maybe it was because this was the first Catan game that I played, but I wasn’t that excited by this game. I played once during a game night and lost resoundingly. I did not have time to master the strategy of the game, but I started to get a feel for the mistakes I was making and how I could play better in future games. Unfortunately, I have not yet had the desire to play again.
The rules are a bit complex, so expect your first time to be a process of learning the finer details. It helped my first time to have some experienced players in the group.
I did appreciate the very “Star Trek” feel of the game. I did feel like I was working towards space exploration goals. So that’s a plus!

“Star Trek Catan from Mayfair Games Review by David Lowry”
Space…The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprisess Their one game mission: to explore strange new worlds. Seek out new resource cards, block resource production from other opponents and boldly win by gaining 10 or more victory points before anyone else.
Publisher: Mayfair Games
Game Designer: Klaus Teuber
Players: 3 – 4
Ages: 10 to adult
Playing Time: 75 + minutes
Contents: 2 Dice, 19 Sector Tiles, 6 Frame Pieces, 95 Resource Cards, 25 Development Cards, 10 Support Cards, 4 Building Costs Cards, 2 Special Cards and the game pieces in 4 different colors contain 4 Starbase Expansions, 7 Outposts, 15 Starships and finally 1 Klingon Battle Cruiser
Suggested Retail Price: $55.00
Parental Advisory: Safe for kids
In Star Trek Catan the players scour the universe looking for resources on new planets to build Outposts, Starbases, creating the “Longest Supply Route” and having the “Largest Starfleet.” Players can trade, block, and meet up with the dangerous Klingons while facing having to build in locations that may be plentiful in resource production or very minimal.
Each player is trying to build Outposts (worth one Victory Point each) that eventually upgrade in to Starbases (worth 2 Victory Points each) in orbit of the Federation Territories (planets.) Each planet has a random number 1-12 on it, this allows a player to gather the type of resource that planet produces if that number is rolled by a player.
Red Planet produces Tritanium
Yellow Planet produces Food
White Gas Planet produces Oxygen
Green Planet produces Dilithium
Blue Planet produces Water
Asteroid Field produces nothing
Each player starts with 2 Outposts and 2 Starships and 1 Support card chosen at random. Because of this, each player automatically starts the game with 2 Victory Points. Players pick where to put their first Outpost by starting with the oldest player first. The first player then places one of their Outposts and an adjoining Starship on any Federation territory junction and this continues clockwise till the last player places 2 Outposts and then it moves counter clockwise until the players have placed both of their Outposts and Starships on the game board.
The Turn Overview looks like this:
The player must roll the dice for resource production. This result gives all players with an Outpost or Starbase on that number a resource from that planet. A player may get more than one resource depending on how many Outposts or Starbases are located there. Each Outpost produces 1 resources and each Starbase produces 2 resources.
The player whose turn it is may trade resources with any other player during their turn. That player may listen to offers and any counteroffers. A player may not trade if it is not their turn unless it is only with the current players turn. The current player may also trade with the Border (bank) by trading any 4 of one type of resource for 1 of any other type of resource. If the player has an Outpost/Starbase that borders trading post, then they may be able to trade at a 3:1 or 2:1 rate.
The player may build as many Outposts, Starships or Starbases as their resource cards allow.
The player may also play 1 of their Support and/or 1 Development card any time during their turn.
Building allows a player to increase their resource production as well as giving them more Victory Points. To be able to build, a player may not build closer than 2 space intersections from another player.
To build requires the following:
Starship – I Dilithium and 1 Tritanium resource card. These are built along the space intersection connecting their Outposts/Starbases together. They may not be built of any other player’s routes or Outposts/Starbases. Once a player has built a route of 5 or more Starships that do not branch off, they may receive the “Longest Supply Route Card” worth 2 Victory Points. This card may change hands many times during the game. If there is a tie for the longest route, no one holds the card.
Outposts – 1 Food, 1Dilithium, 1 Oxygen and 1 Tritanium are required to build 1 Outpost. The player must build the Outpost adjacent to one of their Starships and the player must make sure they are 2 space intersections away from any other (including their own) Outpost or Starbase before building. When building a new Outpost, that player now has the possibility to increase their resource production if that planet number is rolled.
Starbases – 3 Water and 2 Oxygen are required to build the Starbase upgrade to the current Outpost. This attachment goes on top of the current Outpost and doubles the resource production of the current Starbase. The Starbase must be built on a current Outpost and cannot bypass the Outpost building stage.
Resource Cards – 1 Water, 1 Food and 1 oxygen are required to buy 1 Resource Card. This card is drawn from the top of the stack and held in secret until the player chooses to reveal it. Most Resource Cards may not be played until after the turn in which it was purchased.
Victory Point Cards – The players must keep their Victory Point Cards hidden until they have 10 Victory Points or more and then reveal them. These cards may be played on the turn they were purchased to win the game.
Starfleet Intervenes cards – If a player plays this card, they must move the Klingon Battle Cruiser (more on how this works below.) Once this card is played, it will remain face up in front of the player that played it adding to their Starfleet size. Once a player has 3 Starfleet Intervenes cards face up in front of them, they may claim the “Largest Starfleet” card worth 2 Victory Points. This of may change hands many times during the game. In case of a tie, no one holds the “Largest Starfleet” Card.
Progress Cards – These cards have text on them that the player may then activate to receive its bonuses. Once played, these cards go out of the game.
Support Cards are Star Trek: TOS characters with special text on them to help the players who holds it. They have both an A and B side to them. Once a player uses side A, they have the option to either flip it over to side B and use it again later or they may return it to the Support Card display and choose another that is available. If the player chooses to keep the Support Card after using side A, once they use side B, they must return it to the Support Card display and choose another card. A Support Card may not be used the turn that it was acquired.
The Klingon Battle Cruiser is activated once a “7” is rolled by a player or if a “Starfleet Intervenes” Card is played. The following is what happens when a “7” is rolled or a “Starfleet Intervenes” card is played.
If a “7” is rolled on a players turn, no player will receive any resources that turn from production.
Any player that holds more than 7 cards in their hand at that time the “7” was rolled must put half of their hand back into the resource supply rounded down.
The player that rolled the “7” must move the Klingon Battle Cruiser to a planet sector or to the asteroid sector although moving it to the asteroid sector usually doesn’t make much sense.
The player then “steals” 1 resource from 1 opponent who has a Outpost/Starbase currently in orbit of the planet on which you placed the Klingon Battle Cruiser.
This planet no longer produces any resources as long as the Klingon Battle Cruiser is on it.
Play continues as normal.
The game ends as soon as a player reaches 10 Victory points through any combination of Outposts, Starbases, Victory Point Cards and Special Cards such as the “Largest Starfleet” or the “Longest Supply Route”.
The components of Star Trek Catan are exceptional. The photos are taken from the Star Trek: TOS from the “Wrath of Kahn” or after. The tiles and edge pieces are very thick and will last forever; the Starships, Outposts and Starbase pieces are detailed and very cool. The cards stock is thick enough to not bend to easily but they are glossy which does make them slippery and they are all smaller than the original Catan. It would have been better if they were normal size so they could have been sleeved if needed and textured just to be easier to handle. That is my only complaint though. The box art is very cool, and the box insert is nicely done as well.
Star Trek Catan is a remake of the famous “Settlers of Catan” and so much of it is very much the same with the exception of the theme and the Support Cards. I know a lot of people were like “another Catan?” or “Isn’t this just over kill and license gouging” but I say nay! The theme works very well with this game. Star Trek has a huge audience and let’s be honest there have been a plethora of bad Star Trek games through out the years. Attaching Star Trek with the Catan game library was a smart move and it fits very well along side all the others. The addition of the Support Cards adds a whole other dimension to the game no pun intended. It allows people to get back in the game easier as well if they are struggling due to placement. This version of Catan has become my go to version to play and it has completely refreshed it for me. This was a win/win situation for the both Catan and Star Trek.
We already know that this game has a ton of re-playability as the board is never the same and there are so many different variables to chose from. Adding the theme just makes it MORE fun that it already was. Catan being the game the re-energized the board game industry has done a good thing here and made a great game slightly better than it already was. This game belongs on every board gamer’s shelf and most certainly every Star Trek fans.
Due to the theme, added Support Cards built on a game that was already great and revitalizing a game many of us had played out, I am giving this 9 out of 10 stars.
I was not provided a review copy of this game.

“Boldly Cataning”
There are plenty of Settlers of Catan reviews so I want to concentrate on the differences. This edition is based on the original TV series.
Instead of villages, cities and roads you have outposts, starbases and starships. The robber piece is a Klingon warship and the desert is replaced by an asteroid field. The resources are dilithium, food, water, oxygen and tritanium. The main difference is the addition of special character cards. Each card has a different special power. You start the game with a card and must use it once before you choose a new one or keep it to use a second time. After you use it a second time you must choose a new card. The development cards are similar to the deck in the original game but redone to fit the theme.
There has already been 1 expansion of extra mapboards based on the map iof the federation in Kirk’s room. It is a fun alternative to the regular base game.

“Trek Makes Everything Fun!!”
I’ve been checking this page for a couple days to see if anyone posts a review, but nothing yet so I guess I’ll go first! I can’t wait to see what a big Catan fan has to say though as I warn you, I am much more of a Trekkie than a Settlers of Catan player. In fact, I’ve been “silently flamed” with my review on Catan here as the diehards have largely voted no!! Oh well, like I said there, I get Catan, but I’m not a big fan.
However, when I saw they were doing a Star Trek version, I was eager to drop the $50 at Target (the only place to buy it here in the States) and see if I could change my own mind. So far, yes!
Having the Trek theme makes the game a lot more fun for me. And that’s a personal thing of course, but if you’re a big ST fan, I think you’ll dig this.
The miniatures look great if not a little on the delicate side. I’m not sure how durable the plastic will be in the long term, but with some basic caution they should hold up fine. I also appreciate the zip lock bags included once I tear open the shipping bags for all the pieces, which there is a lot of!! I like the way you add onto outposts to turn them into starbases and the Klingon threat is pretty neat. I also really like the character cards and the impact they can have. With only a couple games under my belt, I haven’t gotten the gist of all of them, but the idea of forced trading etc. make for great player interaction. Nothing’s wore than when the dice hate you and you’re stuck without the one resource you need repeatedly!
The tiles are nicely illustrated although I feel the overall look of the board is a little dark. Considering how important the corners and straight edges (shipping routes) are to Catan, the black on black esthetic is hard on the eyes. A faint blue line or something would’ve been a nice addition. There are some space clouds, but it’s not consistent.
All that being said, if you like Catan and you like Trek, you’ll love this version. If you’re only into Trek, I still say you’ll want to add this game to your collection. If you’re just a big Catan fan, not sure this will add anything to your experience. The mechanics are largely the same, but the joy in Star Trek Catan is the Star Trek.

“ehh”
It’s Catan. While Catan is a good game slapping a licensed theme onto it doesn’t make it a great game.
The game does come with some decent pieces, but the starships as roads, to the space stations really break the theme for me.
The 1 thing that really separates this from just a Catan money making clone is the variable player powers. Which do add something to it. If you are a fan of both Catan and StarTrek then give it a shot. If you like one or the other, then stick with whatever of the two float your boat.

The cover of 'Sweet and Savage' by Mark Goodall.
My area of research is film history, specifically cult and experimental films of the 1960s and 1970s. I am an expert in the genre of the Italian 'mondo' film, a form of sensationalist documentary, and have delivered many conference papers and published many essays on the subject.
More recently, I have developed projects on music and 'countercultural studies' (pop festivals, The Beatles, music and the occult, graphic arts and comics etc.).
I tutor MA and PhD students and welcome enquiries from prospective masters and doctoral students especially in the fields of cult and avant-garde film and media, popular music and experimental processes.
I am a guest programmer for the annual Bradford Film festival and have curated retrospectives on filmmakers Gualtiero Jacopetti, Peter Whitehead, Thierry Zeno, Godfrey Reggio, Nicolas Roeg and Harry Kumel.

Now Playing: Call of Duty: Black Ops 2
Tags: Activision, Black Ops 2, Call of Duty, cash cow, Cold War, Customization, FPS, Franchise, Future War, Grief, guns, Infinity Ward, loadouts, Michael Bay, Modern Warfare, Multiplayer, nuke scene, perks, Rambo, RTS, shock and awe, shooter, Strike Force, survival, Tranzit, Treyarch, Xbox 360, Zombies
After the disappointment that I suffered through in Modern Warfare 2, I said to myself that I was officially done with Call of Duty. Javelin glitches, speed skating glitches, negative XP glitches, idiots who rather not complete objectives and just boost for the damn tactical nuke. I think you get the point. At that point I started hating the game and the series as a whole. As a result I eventually caved in and bought the Hardened Edition of Black Ops that next year. I loved the campaign and the awesome zombie mode. The multiplayer was still “meh” to me even though I liked spamming the RC car. The following year Modern Warfare 3 was released. I stuck to my guns and skipped it, because of the disappointment of Modern Warfare 2. So here I am today deciding about Black Ops 2. Sure I’m sick of Call of Duty compared to other shooters on the market, and the E3 demo sucked, but I eventually decided to give it a chance. In the end I’m glad that I did.
It’s Like Being In An Action Movie
I don’t know what it is with Infinity Ward and Treyarch, because every year when a Call of Duty game is released I feel like each developer is trying to out Michael Bay one another. Basically, Call of Duty plays out like a huge summer blockbuster with tons of carnage, cussing, guns, destruction, and plenty of explosions to keep me hooked in. No need for an epic story. Just give me “shock and awe” along with plenty of body bags for the virtual dead and everything will be just fine. Well Black Ops 2 provided all of that in it’s unique blend of Cold War and Future War eras and it was pretty cool. I just wish they had a better plot like the first Black Ops game had.
Improvements In Multiplayer?
Did I just say that? Well yes I did. Black Ops 2’s competitive multiplayer is a big step up over over the first Black Ops game. Score streaks now take the place of kill streaks making other players work a little harder to get that special attack they crave. There’s also a heavier emphasis in completing objectives in certain gametypes to help curb away the wannabe snipers who just sit around and camp out waiting for kills to come to them. Seriously guys, let me just rant by saying that being a sniper in a Call of Duty game is just plain stupid. Complete the objectives! We don’t need an eight man team with seven snipers and one person trying to win the game. In other words…Play Smart! Just keep in mind that I’m only here for the fun of the game, or until everyone starts cheating. If that happens I’ll go back on my hating spree.
Black Ops 2 has tons of customization options that had me busy for hours deciding on what I want to do with each of my custom loadouts for multiplayer. What type of kickass guns do I want? How about perks? Do I want more or less. More perks come at the expense of less weapons, but I can be faster and more like a ninja as I knife randoms with ease. Of course I can go the other way and be more like Rambo. The best part is that using these customizable options allows me to tailor a multiplayer experience to my liking as well as having the tools to conquer each game mode.
The main reason I purchased this game. The zombie mode has been fleshed out a lot more to include some new game types along with the traditional Survival mode. Tranzit allows me to travel to each map via a bus. While traveling I had to beware of hitchhiking zombies coming along for the ride as well as trying to kill me. Grief is also pretty badass as two teams of four take on the zombie horde. Last team standing along with winning the round wins the game. Grief does add a lot of fun and strategy to the game. Sure you can’t hurt the other team, but you can always find ways to screw them over giving me the advantage. Zombies is where I’m spending most of my time playing, because it’s addicting and fun. With that said I once again raise the question to Treyarch. Why not make a stand alone zombie game?
Strike Force Is A Bit Of A Letdown
So what is Call of Duty. A First-Person Shooter or a Real Time Strategy Game? The RTS missions called Strike Force sound like a good idea, but they come off as rather retarded. The idea was for me to control the actions of unmanned vehicles to complete various objectives. Sounds great and all In theory, but what it really boiled down to was me taking control and doing everything for myself since my unmanned attack grunts are not very helpful in the long run. Each vehicle and deployment look very kickass, but in reality they kind of suck. Going through these missions is more of a pain in the ass, because all I want to do is go back to the action.
Missing That “Wow” Factor
Black Ops 2 is a pretty good game, but what the series has been missing lately has been that “Holy shit! I can’t believe that happened” type of moment. The main example that I can think of would be the nuke scene in Call of Duty 4. I thought that moment was crazy when the nuke went off and my main character during that mission died. The first words I had after that moment was “What the fuck just happened!” Since then the Call of Duty series hasn’t had anything that would even measure up to that moment. Sure Black Ops 2 has branching paths based in my decisions and tons of action, but I want something that I’ll remember for a long time. Since Call of Duty 4, I feel like the developers just mailed it in and said to Activision “Here’s the new Call of Duty game. Now let’s release it and collect our millions of dollars.”
So I actually liked Black Ops 2. Does this mean that I’m officially back with the Call of Duty franchise? Well…I would have to say “No.” The game does pack in plenty of fun and tons of replay value in the multiplayer department, but I still believe that the developers need to add that extra punch that made Call of Duty 4 the benchmark of the series to date. The Black Ops games so far have been a positive step in that direction. Maybe what Activision needs to do is stop milking the cash cow and watering down the series with yearly installments. This will make the games more fresh and entertaining as well as generate less hate from some of the internet trolls out there. Just making a suggestion for the better. Overall, Black Ops 2 is a good game making my purchase well worth the money.

Now Playing: Doom 3 BFG Edition
Posted: October 27, 2012 in Now Playing (Video Game Reviews)
Tags: anniversary, Bethesda, BFG Edition, Collection, Compilation, demons, Doo 3, Doom, Doom 2, Final Doom, FPS, id software, imps, shooter, Xbox 360, Zombies
Celebrating it’s 20th anniversary, Bethesda and id Software once again bring back the game that made the first person shooter popular. Doom. A game I’ve been playing religiously since 1994 is back with a vengeance with a compilation package titled “BFG Edition.” Not only do I get the classic games they also packed in Doom 3 all in glorious HD. Considering the fact that I already had Doom 3 on my original Xbox I couldn’t resist purchasing this edition. Why? Because now it has achievements! Yes, this new package collection definitely appeases the achievement whore in me, but was it enough? Let’s find out.
Everything Doom In One Amazing Package:
Doom 3 BFG Edition contains everything that is Doom. Doom, Doom II: Hell on Earth (with the bonus episode), Doom 3, and Resurrection of Evil. New to the series is the addition of The Lost Mission which brings more terror to the Doom 3 story. Basically what it boils down to is that I have hours upon hours of gory nostalgic entertainment. Doom 3 is still just as fun to play in the dark, and still has those moments that will send chills up your spine.
Doom 3 Looks Great In HD
While Doom and Doom 2 were left relatively unchanged, Doom 3 gets the full HD makeover and it looks great. Tight visuals, no jaggies, everything looks sharp on my 1080p HDTV. The terrifying moments when the lights go out and the flashlight only illuminating a small space still gives me that chilling moment that something bad is about to happen. That’s usually when the imps appear (sometimes right behind you) and attack. Along with the graphical upgrades, the sound is also up to par with the dark tone of the game.
“A Chainsaw! Find Some Meat!”
Probably the best item shipped by mistake. The chainsaw is great when out of ammo and does tons of damage and leaves plenty of gore on it’s place. Plus in the classic games you see your character with a big smile on his face. Beware Pinky…I’m coming for you! Doom along with the movies Scarface and The Army of Darkness made this weapon of choice popular. Just a thought. Where would games like Gears of War be today if there was no chainsaw?
Where’s My Flashlight?
One of Doom 3’s biggest and most significant change. The new Armor Mounted Flashlight replaces the old standby which was also a useful melee weapon against zombified enemies. This new lighting option uses the limited battery with a meter constantly running to empty. While this option is highly useful it unfortunately takes away from some of the game’s more terrifying moments especially when the lights go out. Personally, I miss the option of arming a gun or using my light. This will take some time getting over.
Where’s Final Doom?
With all the Doom games and new additions all on one disc there is one game missing. Final Doom. C’mon man. Who dropped the ball on that one? If your going to have a full collection of Doom games on one disc then make sure fans like me have all of them to choose from.
Doom 3 BFG Edition is clearly a game for fans like me. Even after 20 years shooting my guns and bringing pixelated death to any zombified soldier or demon that stands in my way of reaching my goal is still a lot of fun. I also like the fact that there’s no regenerating health like some of today’s shooter, and a dark theme that rivals Dead Space. No need for a “Final Cut” for this game because Doom 3 BFG Edition is a keeper.

The Final Cut: Binary Domain

STATUS: Amada Corporation Is Destroyed
For my original review on Binary Domain click HERE.
Mesmerizing, amazing, tons of action, suspense, plot twists, hella fun. These are just a few of the words that described my experience with Sega‘s Binary Domain. Obviously the most underrated game of the year. Most people out there have never played yet never even heard of this title. If your one of those few then I suggest you head to your local store and pick up this game, or at least just rent it.
Playing Binary Domain gave me that feeling of Blade Runner, Gears of War, Battlestar Galactica (the re-imagined version) and The Terminator and it was awesome. Hollow Children. Robots disguised as humans with no knowledge whatsoever that they’re robots. Very interesting. I was trying to see what was cooler: The Cylons from the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica or the Hollow Children. Hmm…ok I still have to give it to the Cylons. Now these robots didn’t go down easy. Shoot them in he head and maybe they can still come towards me for a couple of seconds, but shoot them in the legs and they’ll still crawling towards you just like the Terminator did in the original movie. Now that was cool.
At first I said to myself “Binary Domain really feels like a Gears of War clone.” Roadie run to a roll with a shotgun blast to the head. Check. Take cover. Check. Blind fire from cover. Check. Yell out various obscenities while reloading. Ok, that’s not there, but I really felt comfortable with the controls making things rather easy to jump right in and play. That’s something I liked. Other than that I was able to get past the cheesy dialog and various stereotypes to find a game filled with fun and entertainment.
ARE THE HOLLOW CHILDREN’S DAYS STILL NUMBERED?
While I really enjoyed the story and experience with Binary Domain I just don’t see another playthrough. The plot twists won’t feel the same the second time around, because I already know what happens. The multiplayer was pretty uneventful and empty as well. Besides Binary Domain’s gameplay is similar to Gears of War, so if I had to make a decision on what game I’d rather play multiplayer on Gears of War. So I decided to trade in Binary Domain so that someone else can enjoy a great story.

Now Playing: Borderlands 2

It’s time once again to return to Pandora. Ok, I was there just a couple of weeks ago still looting those damn Claptraps for those collectible achievements and Crawmerax yet still lives, but I digress. It’s time for some new adventures in the Borderlands. Handsome Jack is looking for some badass vault hunters like myself to do what I like to do best. Kill, loot, and then repeat. There goes my social life again. Then again my day job sort of did that a couple of months ago, but once again I’ve dipped off subject. Viva La Pandora! Viva La Borderlands 2!
2K Games and Gearbox Software once again bring me back to the wide world of looting and a shitload of guns to play with in this first person shooter and role playing hybrid. I’ve spent hundreds of hours playing the first game which became a bigger addiction to me. Let me put it this way. There’s not one drug out there with the addictive quality that can compare to the looting adventures of Borderlands. Period! Now I’ve got the highly anticipated sequel where there are still plenty of bandits and other mutant animals to kill, but this time the baddies are tougher and a heck of a lot meaner. Good thing I have even better guns and tons of ammo, but don’t expect Marcus to give out any refunds.
Storywise, Borderlands 2 improves by leaps and bounds over the original game, but let’s be serious. I didn’t pick up this game for epic storytelling. I bought it to shoot, kill, and loot as much as humanly possible. Plus there’s all the addictive fun and comedic satire where Borderlands 2 clearly doesn’t disappoint. Handsome Jack, Head of the Hyperion Corporation, has been looking for some new vault hunters to open up a new alien vault on Pandora. Hopefully this time there’s some sweet loot inside. Sadly, Jack’s attempt to lure would be vault hunters is nothing more than a trap. Luckily, my character of choice survives near death and then my adventure began.
The first thing that impressed me was the improvement of the cell-shaded graphics. They look even better than the first game. I also have to commend Gearbox for finally using a color palette for the surrounding environment. Yes, they finally stopped using different shades of brown and found other colors like green and blue. The use of color brought more life to the wasteland of Pandora making exploration a little more exciting. Characters look a little brighter and more energetic. Even all the guns have some cool looking skins making them better to own. Impressive!
I started out with Axton. Like Roland in the first game, Axton is a soldier class specializing in combat rifles along with deploying a turret as his special attack. Considering the fact that I didn’t use the soldier class as much in the first game (I used Brick the most) I was more interested to go this route and it hasn’t disappointed me at all. The turret was great in a firefight and helped make tougher enemy battles slightly easier. It’s safe to assume that anyone who joins me online will see me with him.
As for the other characters, the heavily hyped Salvatore the Gunzerker is also pretty cool with the dual wield special. He kicks some major ass when the guns are drawn leaving tons of blood and shrapnel in his wake. Now all I want is to dual wield a pair of elemental rocket launchers and he’ll make Brick arching of the past. Maya the Siren is basically an upgraded version of Lilith. Zero the Assassin (he’s a number) is not bad either with his stealth attacks and sniping abilities. Overall, the characters in Borderlands 2 are just as good as the original, but with a just a hint of more “attitude” mixed in.
The biggest improvement comes with a new skill tree system to add new abilities and increase stats. Skill points are earned by leveling up my characters through kills and completing missions. Customization is better than ever with more ways to differentiate my character from the others online. There’s even an option to reset your stats and place your hard earned skill points into other settings along with changing your looks as well. New to Borderlands is Badass Ranks. This applies to completing various challenges in the game. Complete a challenge get a token which I get to use to upgrade stats including health, shields, damage, accuracy, etc. The best part is the fact that these ranks carry through to all my characters. Now that’s something I like.
While I can choose to venture and brave the vast lands of Pandora on my own, I realize that exploring, killing, and looting are more fun with a group of friends, Co-op is back and better than ever. Up to three friends can join me for some good fun all in the name of rare loot. Unlike the original, you don’t have to worry about that one person who gets all the good shit leaving you with all the scrap junk. No more being the low man on the totem pole. Now I can get some rare loot without one of my friends running away from the group and raping all the loot chests. Gearbox made a change making all loot shared. Some may like this and most won’t but maybe it’s time to make things fair for everyone. Overall, I absolutely enjoyed the multiplayer experience as my friends and I explored, killed, and shared plenty of laughs along the way. Co-op is the way top go for overall longevity because single player is only fun for so long.
What makes Borderlands 2 so great? An entertaining experience, fun characters, tons of jokes and other pokes at pop culture, and a whole lotta guns. What’s not to love. The best part is the fact that the game never takes itself too seriously, because if it did it would probably suck. I shit you not. There’s a lot ot see and plenty to do both on foot and unleashing your inner “Mad Max” in kick ass vehicles. Hundreds of more hours await me in Pandora with both the main game and future DLC as the search for awesome loot continues, so do me a favor. Stop reading, buy Borderlands 2, and join me online for some good times. Now where’s those rare weapons.

Now Playing: Transformers: Fall of Cybertron

Turn the clocks back two years ago. I went to Best Buy and purchased War for Cybertron. At first I was still skeptical because of the suckiness of Transformers games through the years, but after just an hour of playing I said “Holy shit this game is awesome!” The epic struggle between the Autobots and Decepticons on Cybertron was fantastic and brought up plenty of memories of the old Generation 1 days where as a young child I was watching the cartoon and playing with the toys. I also wrote an article during my SFX-360 days claiming that War for Cybertron was that year’s Batman: Arkham Asylum. Fast forward to today and I’m once again brought back to that familiar Transformers world that I loved so much.
Fall of Cybertron takes into account Cybertron’s final days. The planet ravaged by war and Dark Energon is no longer able to sustain life. The Autobots have one transport left (The Ark), and are ready to make their way to another world (Earth). The Decepticons however have plans of their own and that is wipe out the Autobots for good. Megatron and his band of enemies have a plan, but Optimus Prime has the mighty Grimlock and Metroplex on his side.
Just like War for Cybertron, High Moon Studios took the “if it ain’t broke don’t fix it” approach with Fall of Cybertron while making some subtle tweaks in the gameplay and graphical details. The end result is a really fun game that rivals their previous Transformers game (not the “Bayformers” movie tie in). The main campaign may be a bit on the short side, but it packs a serious punch along with a few surprises here and there. The Call of Duty inspired multiplayer however still is a disappointment to me except for Escalation mode which still kicks ass.
The first thing that impressed me was the amount of detail to make Cybertron a bit more like an actual world unlike the mechanical look of the first game. This time there are more open areas instead of corridor battles that looked exactly alike. Fire, explosions, smoke, battle damage. This game made me feel like I was in the middle of the war, or the equivalent of a Michael Bay movie battle sequence. Shooting a lot of generic looking robots, transforming, and shooting some more. That pretty much sums up the game. It may sound a bit repetitive, but the developers worked on an impressive way to shake things up to keep the gameplay fresh, entertaining, and even nostalgic.
The biggest change in the main campaign was the fact that you can only play as one character per level. At first I thought that sucked, but then I saw why High Moon went this direction and I was put at ease. Each level is catered for a specific character and their abilities. Playing as Optimus Prime and utilizing the city sized transformer Metroplex, Cliffjumper using a key cloaking ability, the Combaticons forming Bruticus, and even Grimlock stomping on helpless Insecticons in a melee style level was awesome. Now I understand why the co-op feature from the first game was scrapped and I’m alright with it.
The multiplayer portion of Fall of Cybertron is more of a mixed bag for me. There are some highlights which include the return of Escalation mode. The Horde mode style gameplay was both tough and fun. My only gripe is the fact that there’s not enough characters to play as. Hopefully High Moon can give fans like myself more options. As for the other competitive team based modes I was a little bored. Sure it’s Transformers (and you can create your own unique character which is pretty cool), but these same type of game modes are found in so many other titles in the market. Yes, it will be popular for a couple of weeks, but I see the same fate as what War for Cybertron’s multiplayer was…completely forgotten and not many people playing.
Transformers: Fall of Cybertron is a game that fans, like myself, of Generation 1 can enjoy. It brings me back to my childhood days of watching the cartoon and playing with the toys again. The story is well done, the characters look awesome, and the gameplay is relatively unchanged from War for Cybertron. I recommend anyone who is a die hard fan of Transformers, or anyone who likes a fun third person shooter, to play this game.

The Final Cut: Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Future Soldier

GAME STATUS: Raven’s Rock leadership eliminated. Mission accomplished.
For my original review of Ghost Recon Future Soldier click HERE.
The ending of Ghost Recon Future Soldier reminds me of the Arnold Schwarzenegger movie Eraser. The Ace is on the train tracks. The Ghosts are ordered at the last second not to kill him (this after killing the other six high ranking members) which draws some fire from the team. The Ace talks some shit to try and get me to shoot, but i hold back. Orders are orders. In the end the Ace gets his as he’s smashed by an oncoming train. At least “I” didn’t kill him.
When I completed the main campaign the first thought that popped in my head was “that was awesome!” Ghost Recon Future Soldier lived up to it’s lively expectations. Whether it was going silent or going balls to the wall in a hail of bullets with tons of explosions, the game never went to the monotone notion of run and gun. Strategy was important and I used it to the max. Coordination firing was badass, and removing all the squad orders for more quick response actions like choosing who your team kills first made battles more intense. Active camo was also a huge hit for me.
Other than all the action and Michael Bay orgasmic moments I also got a kick out of the Gunsmith option. Whether I was using my controller or the Kinect I was having fun customizing my weapons with various parts and colors. It took me awhile to get the handling down of choosing my loadouts, but I soon became hooked and customizing took preference over battling either with the campaign or online.
The online multiplayer however had both it’s highs and lows. My highs center around the Guerrilla mode where my teammates and I kicked ass for awhile while getting some wicked head shots. Playing co-op in the campaign was not bad either even though I had a lone wolf or two without their headsets. The lows came around after a few weeks of play. Competitive team matches like Decoy turned crappy when at least half of my team started camping as snipers instead of working on targets. I kept telling them that we need to compete the objectives, but all they said was “I’m a sniper, I’m a sniper!” That led me to the response of “Then go back to Call of Duty noob!” By the way those players sucked! Sadly a large majority of the games I played online were like this which killed my buzz.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! WHAT’S MY ORDERS?
While Ghost Recon Future Soldier was a great game I couldn’t see myself playing the campaign multiple times. The story and cutscenes were rather bland and had me saying “meh.” The multiplayer became disappointing after a few weeks of play due to some players stupidity. My message to them: Stop being snipers! Learn how to play the game. Honestly, with so many shooters out there for me to play now and in the near future I’m not going to have the time to continue playing so I’m giving Ghost Recon Future Soldier an honorable discharge to the trade in shelf. Thanks for the fun Ubisoft. Now where’s the new Rainbow Six?

I’ve got plenty of games where I shoot endless human soldiers as well as undead zombies. Sega on the other hand had another idea. Robots. They did it with Vanquish a couple of years ago and it was brilliant. Besides, there’s not enough games these days where your shooting mechanical robots. Oil and shrapnel instead of blood. Tons of bullets and plenty of “bro” moments. Binary Domain has it all and it’s kick ass fun.
The futuristic style of Binary Domain takes me to the year 2080 where a new breed of robots have infiltrated human society. These robots, known as “Hollow Children,” look and act human. Add on to the fact that they have no clue that they’re actually freaking robots. Unfortunately this is considered illegal by the New Geneva Convention and the Japanese company Amada is responsible. The U.S. along with Britain and China send in a team of commandos to counter this new threat called the “Rust Crew.” Their mission is to stop Amada Corporation at all costs. Amada eventually does become aware of the situation and a war with the machines is underway
Now I know that I’m a little late on the release window for a review, but I had so many other games to complete at the time so I waited. Well let me tell you that this game was worth the wait and it’s not because it was on sale. Don’t get me wrong…I like a good sale. Binary Domain had me hooked from the opening moments with the storyline, some rather funny dialog from the characters, tough bosses, upgradeable characters, and all the exciting action packed third person shooter madness.
Binary Domain is more of an under the radar title that many gamers missed out on. Sadly this is what happens to any game that doesn’t have “Call of Duty” in the title. Pathetic! Anyways, let’s move on. If I had to describe Binary Domain in a nutshell then I would say that this game is a combination of the movies I Robot, Blade Runner, and The Terminator, along with Sega and Platinum Games’ sleeper hit Vanquish. Now that’s some good company. The game also plays out as a third person shooter reminiscent of the popular Gears of War series. So far so good.
Considering the fact that I was familiar with Gear of War control scheme I felt right at home with Binary Domain. I was shooting, blind firing, roadie running, and diving into cover at ease. Switching weapons was easy as choosing a direction on the D-pad. It was comfortable and simple. The game also featured a dialog system allowing me to issue orders to my squad. It wasn’t mandatory, but what I liked about it was the fact that my responses led to the morale of the team. The more helpful I was and my teammates responded. The more negative I was they made me pay for it. I even went as far as telling the beautiful Chinese sniper chick “I love you.” Love on the battlefield. Isn’t it wonderful.
Fun storyline, excellent AI enemies, tough bosses, plenty of “bro” moments, familiar control scheme, and tons of flying shrapnel, Binary Domain has it all. It’s the type of game that will have you amped up with all the action and highly satisfied when you leave all those enemy robots in a huge pile of scrap metal. Add on to the fact that the game is a little cheaper than it’s original retail price made this game a must buy for me. Then again I do like Sega games and shooters in general.

Call me a sucker for everything retro. When I heard that Midway Arcade Origins was coming to Xbox 360 I knew that I had to get it. Of course every time they offered a compilation of old school classics I ended up buying it no matter what console I had at the time, and Midway‘s retro offerings have been whored out on all of them to date. Sure nothing has changed since the time when I played most of these games back in the ’80s and early ’90s except for the fact is that this time there’s achievements. Challenge accepted! Now where do I insert the virtual tokens?
More Than 30 Classic Games
Actually there are 31 games which solidifies the more than 30 games message in the advertising. Some of the games I really enjoyed including Smash TV, Total Carnage, Defender, Sinistar, Joust, Arch Rivals, Rampage, and more. Of course there’s some games in this collection that I wish would just die. Yes, I’m talking to you Pit Fighter and Spy Hunter 2. Overall this compilation of old school classics is quite enjoyable giving me some nostalgic memories of days gone by. This collection also has multiple ways of playing with Free Play where I can keep entering virtual quarters and play as long as I want, and Score Attack which only gives me a set number of lives. Score Attack is also the only way to unlock each game’s achievement.
Terrible Controls
For a collection of games that have been faithfully emulated you would think a tweak or two in the control department would help. Sadly, that is not the case here. The main problems show up on titles that used trackball and steering wheel controls. The analog stick is the only alternative, but on games like Championship Sprint and even Marble Madness it can prove to be quite a pain in the ass to control. I’ve also noticed a slight hiccup issue with the analog controls in Smash TV. I don’t get it. The controls work great on the XBLA version. Why not on this one?
No Online Multiplayer
Multiplayer is included with Midway Arcade Origins in the form of couch multiplayer, but I think this collection would be even better with some form of online multiplayer. The games that were available on Xbox Live Arcade, before their delisting, had online multiplayer making for some fun. Sadly, the only online functionality this set has is online leaderboards. Maybe the thought of being number one on the leaderboards is enough for some people since the days of these games was achieving a high score. Then there are games like Rampage, Arch Rivals, and others that are much better with some competition both online and on the couch.
Missing Games
While Midway Arcade Origins features an eclectic collection of games there are a few titles that have been omitted. Where’s NARC? It’s on all the other collections, but not here. Why? How about Pigskin 621 A.D.? Arch Rivals is here, why not this one? Primal Rage? Hydro Thunder? I could go on and on. Some people out there on the internet message boards have even mentioned the Mortal Kombat games. I guess they haven’t noticed yet, but those games are in one “Kollection” on Xbox Live Arcade. Hopefully WB Games has plans on a follow up down the road, because there are so many titles for at least another release.
Midway Arcade Origins clearly fills the need for retro gamers like myself with a nice compilation of classic titles, but the control issues on some games along with the omission of other titles sort of hurts it. Some of these games are fun for a long time, but there are others that have aged so badly that I’ll just play to earn the achievement and then steer clear of them forever. This is a collection for serious retro gaming fans. Everyone else (especially those born after the early ’90s) should give it at least a rental just to see what gaming was like in the early days.

Midway Arcade Review: What Microsoft’s Game Room Should Have Been
Posted: February 28, 2012 in Now Playing (Video Game Reviews)

All the classic Midway arcade games in one collection
Future DLC for more games
Some of the games look really dated
Spy Hunter and APB gyroscope controls don’t work very well
The air hockey game kinda sucks
Review based on Version 1.0
When I saw Midway Arcade available in the App Store I knew immediately that this was an instant buy. Classic Midway arcade games from the ’80s and the ’90s for me was what I grew up with. Who wouldn’t want something like this? Ok, maybe all the retro haters out there. However, for everyone else it’s almost a no-brainer purchase. The big question on everyone’s minds is wondering how well the translation works on the iPhone and iPad. That answer is more of a hit and miss depending upon what game(s) you like.
Midway Arcade, from WB Games, is a collection of arcade classics from the past for you to enjoy. I know this has been done before on practically every game console known to man. Although it hasn’t really been done on iOS devices. Retro games now with touchscreen controls…challenge accepted. This compilation’s layout should also look familiar to those who may have unfortunately downloaded Microsoft’s Game Room (I did). The design looks like an actual video arcade complete with a variety of arcade cabinets along with other things like a ticket redemption center and more. Now where’s the crappy pizza, soda and hard candy?
The compilation comes with ten games including arcade classics like Defender, Spy Hunter, Root Beer Tapper, Arch Rivals, Joust and Rampage. Along with the classics this compilation also features other playable games like a pool table, a mini- basketball game, air hockey and skee-ball. Also available is day one DLC that features additional arcade games including Gauntlet, Gauntlet 2, Wizard of Wor, N.A.R.C, APB and Total Carnage. These games are broken up in sets of three and are priced at only 99 cents. What a bargain. You can also expect plenty of future DLC with even more classic hits making your arcade the hit of the virtual town.
While arcades had some crappy joystick controls due to the play of some youngsters who didn’t know better, along with some raging adults, gamers question whether the touchscreen controls of Midway Arcade would work out. This is where the “hit or miss” formula comes into play. Most of the games I played including Arch Rivals, Rampage, Joust, Total Carnage and the Gauntlet games controlled well. However, I had lots of trouble with both Spy Hunter and APB with the gyroscope style of control simulating the driver’s wheel. Also the air hockey game is terrible as the paddle was unable to keep up with my movements making me look rather awkward and retarded. Good thing this is a virtual arcade and not the real thing or else I’d really look stupid.
Midway Arcade is clearly for those retro junkies out there who want the old-school arcade experience. You can even win tickets in each game that you can use at the prize redemption center. No crappy Chinese finger traps and other cheap useless trinkets here. This is nostalgia at it’s finest, and the inclusion of future arcade games DLC makes this a buy for lovers of the old days. Now how about some Sinistar, Smash TV, and Robotron please.

Along oil-marred coast, chaplains to deploy
June 4 2010 by Karen L. Willoughby, Baptist Press
GULF COAST of Louisiana — The Louisiana Baptist Convention will begin dispatching disaster relief chaplains to the oil-beleaguered Gulf Coast areas of the state beginning June 7. “We received a request June 2” from emergency management officials “and we are sending 12 DR chaplains a week for the next few months or as long as needed,” said Gibbie McMillan, disaster relief director for the Louisiana convention. “They will be in Grande Isle, Venice, etc.”
James Carson, the convention’s DR chaplaincy coordinator and director of missions for Caldwell, Deer Creek and Richland Baptist associations, followed up June 2 by contacting the regional DR chaplaincy coordinator, Joe Arnold, who is director of missions for Bayou Baptist Association just north of the Gulf, to alert DR chaplains in the area to prepare to be called out the week of June 7.
“Everyone is engaged in vigorous conversation,” said Duane McDaniel, executive director of the Baptist Association of Greater New Orleans. “Everyone recognizes that there is a disaster unfolding, and we’re just seeing the tip of the wellhead (of need). We’ll be dealing with the devastation for the long term.”

As the oil spill continues to exact a toll on Gulf Coast communities in Louisiana, the state.s Baptists will begin dispatching chaplains to interact with people about the uncertainty and dim future they face, while reminding them of the strength to be found when in Jesus is in their hearts.
A gathering of SBC disaster relief coordinators from the entire Gulf Coast region has been called for the week of June 7.
“We know what to do with hurricanes, but this manmade disaster has hidden victims,” Arnold said. “This is going to be a long-term thing — we’re talking years.... Right now the tension is so touchy down there (at the water’s edge). There’s a lot of frustration.”
“Everything is just too fluid to see how it’s going to play out,” said Eddie Painter, commercial fisherman and pastor of Barataria (La.) Baptist Church. “Everybody’s pretty tense.”
The oil spill resulting from the explosion of the Deepwater Horizon oil rig on April 20 has affected an estimated third of the fishing waters in the Gulf of Mexico.
“This is not an overwhelming-crushing-moment crisis; it’s prolonged,” said pastor Craig Ratliff of Celebration Arabi Church in St. Bernard Parish. “You wake up tomorrow and wonder if it’s going to be worse than today.”
Thus, ministry to help alleviate that tension has become the initial way Southern Baptists are responding to the disaster, say Louisiana Baptist DR personnel, pastors and directors of missions, disaster relief, several of whom did onsite assessments of the situation over the Memorial Day weekend.
McDaniel and David Maxwell, disaster relief coordinator for the New Orleans association, met May 28 with Painter; Steve McNeal, pastor of First Baptist Church in Venice, the farthest-south town in Louisiana; and Lynn Rodrigue, pastor of Port Sulphur Baptist Church.
The “situation” includes a 1,500-person tent village being built for oil spill workers.
“The infrastructure is not designed for that many people,” Maxwell said. McNeal talked about the possibility of acquiring exercise equipment and using First Baptist Venice’s building as a fitness center. He also suggested showing films in the church at night.
Rodrigue mentioned the possibility of providing facilities for volunteers in future DR-related efforts as they evolve. The men determined a feeding ministry is not needed at the present time. Block parties and other children/family activities are possibilities.
Various ways of connecting with the fishing industry families and with those coming to the region’s rescue were discussed.
“Southern Baptists care, and they want to show they care,” McDaniel said. “It’s in the long run — through the relationships built — that we show we care. The pastors there are talking about the psychological and spiritual well-being of the families. The tensions are there and it could be an explosive powder keg situation down the road.”
Logistics and health/safety issues need to be worked out before large groups come to minister along the Gulf Coast, Maxwell said.
The big need, all said, is for trained disaster relief counselors who will sit and listen to people talk about losing not only their livelihood but also their heritage, who will sit and listen to people talk about the uncertainty, the dashed hopes and dim future, and who will remind people that with the strength of Jesus in their hearts, this too they can get through.
Southern Baptist DR-trained counselors have waited to get involved in the disaster until being asked by emergency management officials to do so, McMillan said. According to the DR charter, SBC DR personnel always respond to requests rather than initiate action unsolicited.

"In Europe: A Natural History, world-renowned scientist, explorer, and conservationist Tim Flannery applies the eloquent interdisciplinary approach he used in his ecological histories of Australia and North America to the story of Europe. He begins 100 million years ago, when the continents of Asia, North America, and Africa interacted to create an island archipelago that would later become the Europe we know today. It was on these ancient tropical lands that the first distinctly European organisms evolved. Flannery teaches us about Europe's midwife toad, which has endured since the continent's beginning, while elephants, crocodiles, and giant sharks have come and gone. He explores the monumental changes wrought by the devastating comet strike and shows how rapid atmospheric shifts transformed the European archipelago into a single landmass during the Eocene.As the story moves through millions of years of evolutionary history, Flannery eventually turns to our own species, describing the immense impact humans had on the continent's flora and fauna - within 30,000 years of our arrival in Europe, the woolly rhino, the cave bear, and the giant elk, among others, would disappear completely. The story continues right up to the present, as Flannery describes Europe's leading role in wildlife restoration, and then looks ahead to ponder the continent's future: with advancements in gene editing technology, European scientists are working to recreate some of the continent's lost creatures, such as the great ox of Europe's primeval forests and even the woolly mammoth."--Provided by the publisher.

Surgery Branch
Head, Tumor Immunology Section
Dr. Rosenberg pioneered the development of effective immunotherapies and gene therapies for patients with advanced cancers. His studies of the adoptive transfer of genetically modified lymphocytes have resulted in the regression of metastatic cancer in patients with melanoma, sarcomas and lymphomas.
His current research is aimed at defining the host immune response of patients to their cancers. These studies emphasize the ability of human lymphocytes to recognize unique cancer antigens and the identification of anti-tumor T cell receptors that can be exploited to develop new cell transfer immunotherapies for the treatment of cancer patients.
As Chief, Dr. Rosenberg also oversees the Branch’s extensive clinical program aimed at translating scientific advances into effective immunotherapies for patients with cancer.

Microcassette to CD transfer
The microcassette has been around since 1969, but wasn't popular in Australia until the mid 1970s.
Micro cassettes were used primarily for dictaphone machines and telephone answering machines.
The micro cassette will never sound as good as a full sized cassette tape due to the physical limitations of the format, but most people are amazed at how much better the audio sounds after we've transferred it to CD than when they heard it played on the original microcassette player.
Microcassette to audio files on a USB drive.
Many hours of audio can be compiled onto a single USB drive.
Audio files on USB play on a variety of devices, including computers, modern televisions and home entertainment systems. Many modern cars also play audio directly from USB drives.
Audio files can easily be copied from a USB drive using a computer.
Microcassette to premium-grade recordable CD.
Cost effective.
Convienient - plays on computers and stand-alone audio CD and DVD players.
Microcassette to archive-grade gold recordable CD.
For precious recordings. Accelerated aging tests indicate that if these discs are handled and stored correctly, they will last for a hundred or more years.
Microcassette to files which you can download.
With increasingly fast internet speeds, the option is available for you to download your audio files from a link we will provide to you.
Microcassette Specifications
CD Makers can transfer mono microcassettes recorded at either the standard speed of 2.4 centimetres per second or the long play speed of 1.2 centimetres per second.
Maximum Duration
Typical duration of a Microcassette at the standard speed of 2.4 centimetres per second 60 minutes 1 CD required per tape
Typical duration of a Microcassette at the long play speed of 1.2 centimetres per second 2 hours 2 CDs required per tape
The maximum duration of a standard audio CD is 80 minutes.
The maximum duration of a gold archive-grade CD is 74 minutes.
However, for precious recordings, we recommend recording only to about 60 minutes on each CD. This is because the recording starts in the middle of the disc and ends at the outer edge where some older CD players struggle to read the data correctly.
Other pages relevant to microcassette transfer:
Compiling and Editing
Minicassette to CD
Microcassette vs Minicassette
Micro cassettes are similar to but incompatible with the Minicassette which was created by Philips. But don't worry, if you have mini cassettes, we can transfer those too.
Microcassette Repair
A broken microcassette is considerably more difficult to repair than a standard audio cassette.
This is because most of the cassette shells are glued rather than screwed together, meaning that the only way to get into the shell is to break it.
Secondly, all the internal parts are much smaller than a standard audio cassette.
And lastly, the tape itself is much thinner than the tape used in a standard audio cassette, making it much more fiddly to deal with.
So microcassettes can be repaired, but not at the standard price.

Cardi B explains resurfaced Instagram Live video about her past as a stripper
By 9Honey Celebrity Staff| 4 months ago
Like many other celebrities, Cardi B has realised that things you've said and done in the past can come back to haunt you.
The 26-year-old rapper was reminded of this just recently, when a resurfaced Instagram Live video from three years ago showed her talking about the things she used to do to men when she was a stripper and struggling to make a living.
In the video, Cardi B -- whose real name is Belcalis Marlenis Almánzar -- claimed she used to use sex to drug and rob men.

After copping backlash on social media -- fans started the hashtag #SurvivingCardiB, a reference to the documentary series Surviving R. Kelly -- Cardi B took to Instagram to explain her past, adding she's "not proud" of the things she's done.
"So I'm seeing on social media that a live I did 3 years ago has popped back up," the 'I Like It' hitmaker wrote. "A live where I talked about things I had to do in my past right or wrong that I felt I needed to do to make a living.
Cardi B teases a look from the music video for 'Please Me'. (Instagram)
"I never claim to be perfect or come from a perfect world wit a perfect past I always speak my truth I always own my s---," she continued. "Im apart of a hip hop culture where you can talk about where you come from talk about the wrong things you had to do to get where you are.
"There are rappers that glorify murder violence drugs an robbing. Crimes they feel they had to do to survive.
"I never glorified the things I brought up in that live I never even put those things in my music because I'm not proud of it and feel a responsibility not to glorify it.
"I made the choices that I did at the time because I had very limited options. I was blessed to have been able to rise from that but so many women have not.
"Whether or not they were poor choices at the time I did what I had to do to survive."

She also clarified that the men she referred to were more than just clients.
"The men I spoke about in my live were men that I dated that I was involve with men that were conscious willing and aware." She concluded with, "I have a past that I can't change we all do."

In addition to the text, Cardi, who is mother to eight-month-old daughter Kulture with rapepr Offset, captioned the post, "All I can do now is be a better me for myself and my family and my future."

The University of Colorado Boulder has formally introduced a "remote presence" technology to enable students who can't be physically present in a course to attend remotely. Kubi is a robotic neck that holds a tablet and is controllable by the remote user to allow him or her to look around the room through a Zoom videoconference meeting. The tablet, through which the remote student can see, hear and speak with others in the room, can be moved 320 degrees side to side and 90 degrees up and down.
Use of Kubi at the university began with a small pilot in spring 2016, when a lone student was brought into an Italian language class for a semester. The Academic Technology Design Team (ATDT) found that Kubi allowed the student to attend 95 percent of the classes "without disrupting the learning experience for face-to-face students." It also had other positive effects, such as letting the remote student interact with those in the classroom. Based on the success of that effort, the design team pitched a project to expand the testing through an innovation grant issued by the Office of Senior Vice Chancellor and CFO, which solicited creative approaches to solving campus challenges.
In spring 2017 ATDT worked with various units to test Kubi's use for students who couldn't be on campus for several reasons: due to medical challenges; for athletes who had to be away from campus for competition or training; and for students who had left Boulder before finishing their degrees only a few credits short of graduating. During the pilot, ATDT found that 11 students were able to attend 302 class sessions "they otherwise would have missed." Additional uses also surfaced, including enabling administrators, staff and faculty to participate in on-campus meetings, even when they were away. Based on the results of the pilot, the team recommended that the university continue to offer Kubi devices "as a stop gap solution for students in need, allowing them to continue their studies without interruption and complete their degree."
Now CU Boulder has set up an official Kubi service and made it available to students for a variety of circumstances that would benefit from remote attendance. All students need to do is log in to fill out a form and request a Kubi.
To make it work, as an article for Educause by three members of the team explained, word about availability of the service needs to make it out to anybody who could take advantage. Also, on the technical front, Kubi relies on a "strong WiFi or high-speed internet connection in the remote student's environment." And the tablet needs to have sufficient audio and video capabilities. The team also noted that training for the remote students in how to control the device beforehand was "essential"; and classmates need to be reminded to "treat the telepresence setup as a student in a physical classroom." Now, a Kubi service manager has been assigned to coordinate those activities.
"What started as a short-term technology pilot has expanded to an ongoing service at CU Boulder," the article stated. "The implementation of telepresence robotics on our campus both supplements existing student support services and reflects CU Boulder's commitment to helping students in need."
The business that introduced Kubi into education, Revolve Robotics, has ceased operating. However, its primary investor and Kubi manufacturer, Xandex, continues to accept orders and provide support. For more information, visit the Kubi website.

Rigour, Diversity and Relevance / Cywirdeb, Amrywiaeth a Pherthnasedd
Cardiff University Press
Feature: JOMEC Journal no. 12
11 Jul 2018 Cardiff Uni Press / Gwasg Prifysgol Caerdydd
We’re happy to announce that JOMEC Journal no. 12 is now available at: https://jomec.cardiffuniversitypress.org/ . JOMEC Journal is an online, Open Access and peer-reviewed journal interested in highest-quality innovative academic work in the fields of journalism, media and cultural studies.
In contrast to previous issues, we decided to make an exception and do an open issue that wouldn’t be dedicated to a specific theme. The submissions we received were fascinating, along with the surprising connections we found between them.
The issue begins with an editorial, and the seven articles that follow can be divided into two groups.
The first group takes us on a fascinating cultural studies journey through China: its ancient sexual practices, queering singlehood to queer filmmaking. Douglas Wile’s Debaters of the bedchamber: China reexamines ancient sexual practices addresses the ancient art of the bedchamber and traditional sex practices in China, a subject of controversy for more than two thousand years. Queering singlehood in mainland China by Benny Lim and Samson Tang discusses singlehood in relation to traditional Chinese culture, suggesting that state-backed media encourages marriage and stigmatizes those who don’t conform to this direction in life. From “celluloid comrades” to “digital video activism”: queer filmmaking in postsocialist China by Hongwei Bao gives a rich historical overview of Chinese ‘new queer cinema’ in the postsocialist era. It identifies a turn from an ambiguous portrayal of queer people by heterosexual filmmakers to an active participation of LGBTQ members in the production of film portrayals of their own lives.
After these China-focused articles, the next four papers belong to the field of media and journalism studies. Antje Glück’s Do emotions fit the frame? A critical appraisal of visual framing research approaches focuses on television news and asks whether the concept of visual framing can be enriched by the integration of emotive elements. It argues that emotions can best be conceptualised as a frame element. The conclusion discusses the extent to which they are suitable for analysing emotions in the visual. Garrisi and Johanssen’s Competing narratives in framing disability in the UK media uses discourse analysis to compare and contrast the journalistic coverage of the story of a beauty blogger with facial disfigurement with that of her own work on her blog. It examines the extent to which a self-representational account may align with the journalistic coverage, showing that journalism and blogging can play a complementary role in shaping society’s understanding of the issue. Press coverage of the debate that followed the News of the World phone hacking scandal: the use of sources in journalistic metadiscourse by Binakuromo Ogbebor uses content and discourse analyses of news articles on the press reform debate that followed this scandal. The author has found that press coverage of media policy debates is characterised by a doubly narrow spectrum of sources. The final article, “Spying for the people”: surveillance, democracy and the impasse of cynical reason by Michael Kaplan, examines the Snowden affair as a sort of Rorschach test that traces the contours of what the author calls ‘the impasse of cynical reason’.

What Delhi Must Say, What Dhaka Needs to Hear
Early parliamentary approval of the land boundary agreement with Bangladesh is in India’s interest. If the BJP sees itself as a champion of national security, it must support the bill.
Beyond Vikrant
As India celebrates the launch of the Vikrant, the much delayed first indigenous aircraft carrier, Delhi is not the only one in Asia focused on the virtues of airpower at sea.
Unquiet on the Front
Delhi must move toward more responsible management of its borders with Pakistan and China.
Japan’s Marines
Facing China’s growing military power and Beijing’s increasingly assertive regional policy, Japan may have no option but to make marines a critical element of its new defense strategy.
New Middle East
If there ever was a moment for India to stick by the principle of non-intervention in the internal affairs of other nations, this is it in the Middle East.
Vice President Joe Biden’s strong record on U.S.-Indian relations raises hopes for his visit to New Delhi.
Korea Rising
South Korea can help develop some interesting strategic options for India if the government in Delhi is willing to think boldly.
Infrastructure development along India’s borders with China and Pakistan can be cooperative, not competitive.
Make a Bold Move
If Prime Ministers Sharif and Singh want to make real headway, they’ll have to take ownership of the reconciliation process.
Pakistan’s Taliban Proxy and Afghan Power Sharing
Pakistan’s leverage over the Taliban is driving negotiations over Afghanistan’s future.
ASEAN Theater
ASEAN’s annual summit has grown from a regional gathering to talk shop into a forum for great power politics.
U.S. and Taliban
India is treading lightly as the Taliban, the Afghan government, and the United States inch towards negotiations.
When Singh Meets Kerry
Manmohan Singh and John Kerry can’t let political obstacles get in the way of their countries’ strategic partnership.
Snowden Effect
The NSA’s newly-revealed espionage programs should prompt India to think about its own approach to cybersecurity.
Political Iran
Iran's elections may present a window of opportunity for the United States and the West.
The G-2 Dilemma
President Obama’s informal summit with Chinese president Xi should remind New Delhi of the need for deep diplomacy with both powers.
Missing Shangri-La
Bureaucratic and political holdups in India’s defense ministry have undermined New Delhi’s ties with its neighbors.
Singh and Friends
Manmohan Singh showed backbone in recommitting to India’s relationship with Japan. It’s time for him to do the same with Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Thai Transit
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s recent visit to Thailand underlined the importance of that country to India’s "Look East" policy of regional connectivity.
Chinese Takeaway: Li in Pakistan
China is unlikely to stop using Pakistan to balance India anytime soon.

SuperSport United and Kaizer Chiefs will renew their cup rivalry when they meet in the first leg of the 2018 MTN8 semifinals at the Lucas Moripe Stadium on Sunday.
To follow every moment of the game LIVE, click or tap on THIS LINK!
SuperSport earned their place in the final four by beating Orlando Pirates on penalties in the quarterfinals.
The Tshwane side played out a 2-2 draw with the Buccaneers at Orlando Stadium on August 11 – with goals from Dean Furman and Evans Rusike – before winning the post-match shootout 4-3.
Matsatsantsa claimed the MTN8 trophy last season thanks to a 4-2 penalty shootout win over Cape Town City in the final.
Chiefs claimed the most emphatic win over any team in the quarters, thrashing Free State Stars 3-0 at FNB Stadium on August 11.
Dumisani Zuma, Leonardo Castro and Khama Billiat all scored to see the Soweto side move into the final four (for the first time since 2015) and claim revenge over Ea Lla Koto for a defeat in the Nedbank Cup at the back end of last season.
The Amakhosi have an unrivalled pedigree in the MTN8, having won it a record 15 times (most recently in 2014).

Bushiri empire crashes – state looks to seize assets including luxury cars, private jet
Abram Mashego 2019-02-04 00:00
HIGH FLIER Self-styled prophet Shepherd Bushiri uses his hi-tech gadgetry while sitting in the Gulfstream private jet that his wife allegedly paid for in cash
He’s just my spiritual father, says Bushiri’s alleged mistress
More trouble for controversial Methodist pastor
Pastor, please stay out of my salary
Not only are the preacher and his wife facing fraud and money-laundering charges, but their assets are also up for seizure
As controversial “prophet” Shepherd Bushiri and his wife Mary fight for their freedom, the state is already eyeing their assets.
The couple, who were arrested at their Sparkling Waters Hotel in Rustenburg on Friday, are expected to appear before the Specialised Commercial Crimes Court in Pretoria on Monday where they are expected to be formally charged and apply for bail.
But that will be just the beginning of their legal woes.
City Press learnt on Saturday that the Asset Forfeiture Unit (AFU), a branch of the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), has joined the legal fight against the controversial couple and has filed a preservation order seeking to seize their assets, pending the finalisation of the criminal case against them.
Two sources familiar with developments said the AFU had already filed an application at the High Court in Pretoria, seeking its permission to seize the Bushiris’ luxury houses and cars, as well as the self-styled prophet’s Gulfstream private jet, which is parked in a private hangar at Lanseria Airport outside Johannesburg.
Bushiri sits in the lounge area of the Sparkling Waters Hotel in Rustenburg, which he launched last year. He owns several properties .
Shepherd (35) – infamous for performing “miracles” at his church in Pretoria which some claim are staged – owns several properties in South Africa and others in his home country, Malawi, with his 37-year-old wife, Mary.
They also boast of owning a fleet of luxury cars, including a Maserati, a Rolls-Royce, an Aston Martin and a R3 million Mercedes G63 which Shepherd bought Mary for her birthday in 2017.
He also bought his daughter a Maserati in December 2017 as a gift for her sixth birthday.
But if the NPA gets its way, the Bushiris will no longer have access to their prized possessions.
“The preservation order may be granted next week,” said a source on Saturday.
Another source said the process had to move quickly because the authorities were concerned that Bushiri would start selling his assets to fund his and his wife’s defence, and hide their other assets from the state.

City Press obtained an affidavit from the investigating officer in the case, a colonel from the Hawks’ serious organised crime unit.
It shows that the AFU investigators have identified the properties, cars and bank accounts which they have asked the High Court to preserve.
The affidavit – dated Thursday, and which was used to obtain the warrants for the couple’s arrest – states that they are alleged to have committed fraud and money laundering, and contravened the Prevention of Organised Crime Act, crimes allegedly committed since 2015.
They also allegedly contravened exchange control regulations by paying $1 147 200 (R15.3 million) in cash, in US currency, for his private jet, Hawks spokesperson Hangwani Mulaudzi said.
The affidavit states that on November 19 2015, self-styled prophetess Mary Bushiri bought the 1984 Gulfstream III model 1159 jet from aviation company National Airways Corporation (NAC) for the total price of $1 250 000.
The Bushiris regularly flit between South Africa and Malawi in their private jet.
“On November 20 2015, two payments were made and receipts issued,” the affidavit states.

One receipt was issued on the same day to “Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri” for the cash amount of $1 147 200.
A source told City Press that Mary travelled to the company’s Johannesburg offices with a bagful of cash.
Another receipt, issued by NAC on the same day – also to “Major Prophet Shepherd Bushiri” – was for the amount, in local currency, of R1 444 340, which made up the remainder of the payment for the aircraft.
But then the SA Reserve Bank got wind of the sale, and on May 8 last year emailed the Bushiris’ lawyers, asking them to provide the full details of how the aircraft was acquired.
About six weeks later, the Reserve Bank received an affidavit by Shepherd, in which he allegedly told the bank that he secured a $1.25 million loan to buy the aircraft from US aircraft supply and maintenance company Joint Aviation Resources (JAR).
Bushiri told the Reserve Bank that his church “repaid the funds in South Africa to JAR” and that the source of the funds were donations made to his “ministry”, the affidavit states.
Bushiri also allegedly told the central bank that “JAR will be in a position to provide proof that they were fully repaid”.
“Copies of the 24 payment receipts were attached to his statement,” the affidavit states.
But when his claims were investigated further and Reserve Bank officials asked for copies of the so-called prophet’s bank statements, they could not find that any such payments had been made.
In August last year, Hawks investigators approached JAR and obtained sworn affidavits which dispute that Bushiri was granted a loan by the company, and his allegedly fake loan agreement was disputed by company representatives.
“JAR, according to their knowledge, never received the payments as indicated on the receipts. Most importantly, JAR states that it was not authorised or permitted to do business as a loan agent or to issue business loans,” the affidavit states.
The affidavit also states that when Bushiri’s offices in Waterfall Office Park in Midrand were raided in May last year, police also found an undisclosed amount of foreign currency.
Popularly known as the “Major 1” by his followers, Shepherd once shocked them on Twitter and Facebook when he advertised the sale of tables at a gala dinner he was hosting, ranging in price from R1 000 to R25 000. Some of his followers say he charges money for a private prayer session, an allegation he denies.
Bushiri’s lawyer, Terrance Baloyi, did not respond to calls and a text message on Saturday.

City Room | Suit Charges Abuses by School Safety Officers
Suit Charges Abuses by School Safety Officers
January 20, 2010 2:49 pm January 20, 2010 2:49 pm
J. B. Reed for The New York Times D.Y., 13, a student a Lou Gehrig Junior High School in the Bronx, described what she said was an assault by school safety officers at a news conference Wednesday. She was flanked by Donna Lieberman of the New York Civil Liberties Union and by her mother, Donna Layne.
Five public school students and their parents are suing the city, claiming that school safety officers employed by the New York Police Department have wrongfully handcuffed, assaulted and arrested students.
A class-action suit filed Wednesday in Federal District Court in Brooklyn by the New York Civil Liberties Union and others states that the officers “engage in a policy and practice of unlawfully seizing and arresting schoolchildren,” in violation of the Fourth Amendment and state law. (See complaint below.)
The president of the union that represents school safety officers said he had not yet reviewed the lawsuit, but he added that the overwhelming majority of such officers perform their duties admirably.
In addition to damages, the suit seeks judicial orders that schools, rather than officers, deal with disciplinary issues; that the city establish a “transparent and meaningful mechanism” to lodge complaints about officers; and that the city impose new disciplinary measures for officers found guilty of misconduct.
Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the civil liberties union, said at a news conference in Lower Manhattan that school safety officers had wrongly arrested students who may have broken school rules but had not committed crimes.
“Students were handcuffed, arrested, perp-walked, jailed, pushed, shoved, kicked to the ground, threatened, taunted, injured, denied medical care, illegally interrogated, intimidated and humiliated,” she said.
Gregory Floyd, president Local 237 of the Teamsters, which represents the school safety officers, said that some disputes between students and officers could merit investigation, but that crime in schools had fallen significantly over the last several years, thanks in part to work by the school safety officers.
“If you look at the overall interaction of school safety agents with over a million children a day, we’re not talking about an epidemic of school safety agents being abusive,” he said by telephone.
A lawyer with the city’s Law Department, Celeste Koeleveld, said that the safety officer’s job was a difficult one. “Maintaining a safe environment for our children is paramount,” she said, “and it’s impossible to ignore the important balance — protecting children while keeping order — that they strive to meet every day.”
Several safety officers are also named as defendants in the suit.
The suit cites a widely reported 2007 case in which a student at East Side Community High School in Manhattan tried to enter school early and ended up being arrested after a confrontation with a school safety officer who would not let her in.
Other instances of misconduct alleged in the suit include a sixth grader at Hunts Point School in the Bronx handcuffed for drawing on a desk with an erasable marker and a ninth grader at Maxwell Career and Technical High School in East New York, Brooklyn, assaulted by school safety officers after she refused to surrender her book bag to one of them after it cleared the security checkpoint.
One plaintiff, a 13-year-old girl identified in court papers only as D.Y., appeared with Ms. Lieberman and said that she got into a disagreement with officers at the Lou Gehrig Junior High School in the Bronx last fall after she was threatened by unfamiliar adults outside the school. School safety officers instructed both D.Y. and the adults to go into the school building, D.Y. said, but she refused, preferring instead to wait outside for her mother. Then, she said, officers handcuffed her, tripped her, knelt on her back and taunted her.
The student’s mother, Donna Layne, said that she arrived at the school about an hour later to find her daughter still in cuffs.
“As a mother, this incident shook my world,” she said. “They abused her and it’s not right.”
CM810 January 20, 2010 · 3:35 pm
I find it absolutely disgusting that a 13 year old is able to handcuffed and assaulted by “officers of the law”. Unless she was clearly breaking the law and/or committing a crime, treatment like this should never be condoned.
JAMES FM January 20, 2010 · 3:46 pm
The school safety agents are doing a good job in the NYC public schools. The NYCLU is trying to dismantle a unit that is actually making the schools safe. The alternative would be to go back to the police department assigning police officers to high schools and a school car to monitor and respond to incidents in the elementary and middle schools which would mean less coverage overall at the schools.
Commander Common Sense, NYC, NY January 20, 2010 · 3:52 pm
The problem with NYC School Safety Officers is that they suffer from the same, “rent-a-cop” syndrome other “non-peace officers” suffer from. They want to be “real cops” so bad that they grossly abuse what little authority the State/City gives them.
These “School Safety Officers”; although they “almost” dress & look like authentic, NYPD Peace Officers, they still suffer from some form of “low self-estreem” as a result of not actually being “real” NYPD Police Officers with real guns; not to mention being made to wear the LAPD look-a-like tin badges. So to take out their “can’t be a real cop” frustration out on the pupils and in an attempt to “play out” their “real cop” fantasies, they appear to unfortunately emmulate the “worst” behaviors of “real police officers” in the performance of their “official” safety functions.
Real and honorable NYPD Officers treat alleged perps with some level of respect and decorum. But these “School Cops” want to be “Real Cops” so bad, they forget that there function is to treat pupils and the general public for that matter with CPR: “Courtesy, Professionalism & Respect”!!

The Alternative, James FM, is enforcing the rules without violating the students Constitutional rights and being professional when they need to use force. Don’t get me wrong, I know what these kids are like, I have many friends who tried to teach in NYC schools and were driven out by the combined forces of students, parents and administration.
MikeyNYC January 20, 2010 · 6:13 pm
Very easy to dramatically wail about the poor children…another thing entirely having a 13 year old acting out and greeting you with a slew of obscenties/insults/threats. Funny how adults (most of them not working in inner city schools) naively take these stories to be so black and white.
George January 21, 2010 · 8:39 am
I hate to pre-judge anyone since it smacks of prejudice. But somehow, the fact that the union representing these “guards” is the Teamsters seems to say a lot in and of itself.
Nothing like bringing in a few of the boys from the loading dock to knock these kids into shape….

I THINK THE SCHOOL SAFETY PROGRAM IS ABISSING THE SYSTEM AND I HAVE PROBE OF IT AND I AM WILLING TO MAKE IT PUBLIC I WAS A INVESTIGATOR FOR THE SCHOOL SAFETY AND I HAVE INSIDE PROBE FILL FRE E TO E MAIL ME THANK YOU
top cat February 18, 2010 · 10:45 am
Rocco Vitale:
Perhaps a little more time spent in class prior to your career as an investigator would help validate your expertise in conducting a “probe”. I am not certain what “abissing” may be but no doubt those who communicate at a grade five level or those who travel within your small but unique linguistic region will comprehend.
No doubt your multi-volume “probe” will deal with the many social issues that impact behaviour; both good and bad. I hope there is a section on how many parents have abrogated their responsibility and cast blame on others for their children’s bad behaviour. It will be a must read when you describe how a lawsuit will solve any of these issues and make meaningful changes in a multicultural setting such as a school. It will be insightful to read how students with learning disabilities or learning challenges can be placed within the school institution, often without the benefit of diagnosis or basic medical intevention, and be coached to success.
Once again, another oh pity me and no doubt self serving project that will negatively impact the majotity of the children for the benefit of a few disprutive students. Perhaps the parents should consider a home schooling program. I wonder if the “probe” identifies this as an option???
BILL April 4, 2010 · 6:38 am
It’s interesting, and I’m guessing, most of the people whining about the “ALLEGED” abuses of these people doing what their job specifically tells them to do, probably haven’t watched any of today’s children too closely lately, or, They ARE CHILDREN themselves WHO NEED A GOOD OLD FASHIONED PARENTAL BEATING. But that is the very problem. We are now on our second and third generation of parents, raised by parents who should NEVER been allowed to be PARENTS.
The result is rebellious children demanding their rebellious parents take action to stop anyone who might interfere with their rebellion. Just listen to these kids. I’m willing to bet, when the court documents are released, EVERY single one of them were, in one way or another, uncooperative and or even combative when confronted. WHY NOT hand over your bag for inspection, EVEN IF IT PASSED THE SCANNER? Because you want to rebel and ignore authority figures because you have NO RESPECT for them. These kids and their parents (AND ALL THEIR LAWYERS) should be charged with frivolous criminal behavior and sent to the psych ward.

THE BEST FILMS IN ACTION, DRAMA, HORROR, AND MORE
EXPERTLY CURATED BY THE COS STAFF
Film Review: Maggie
by Randall Colburn
Henry Hobson
Arnold Schwarzenegger, Abigail Breslin, Joely Richardson, Laura Cayouette
On the surface, Arnold Schwarzenegger’s post-gubernatorial film resume looks a lot like it did in the ’80s: lots of action, a little comedy, absurd character names like Trench and Breacher. If you watch the movies, however, something becomes abundantly clear: Arnold is 67 years old, and the things he once called muscles are now marbled flesh slabs, layered uncomfortably on his stout frame. This isn’t a slam, but an acknowledgment. Arnold’s days as a living, breathing demigod are gone; what we have now is a weathered, beaten husk, a rusted-over warship. And that’s precisely why these latter-day films are so successful.
Arnold can’t hide behind his muscles anymore. And what lies beneath are the traits we only caught glimpses of in his early films: warmth, vulnerability, insecurity. If you think I’m being hyperbolic, go back and watch him with those kids in Kindergarten Cop. Van Damme couldn’t have done that. Stallone, neither. In Jee-Woon Kim’s underrated The Last Stand, Arnold’s wrinkles are played for both comedy and pathos. The same goes for David Ayer’s nutso Sabotage, an overly macho romp that nevertheless finds Arnold at his most vulnerable. In Escape Plan, we see him speak his native German onscreen for the very first time. Post-gubernatorial Arnold is Arnold as we’ve never seen him, even if he’s still doing the same kinds of films he did during his halcyon years.
Maggie, though, is different. It’s definitely not an action movie. Nor is it a horror movie, even though it’s about zombies. And the title’s not lying: Maggie isn’t about Arnold. It’s about Maggie (Abigail Breslin), a Midwestern teen afflicted with the Necroambulist Virus, which is this flick’s fancy term for “you got bit by a zombie.” It hasn’t brought on the apocalypse, however; in a refreshing break from form, the virus has mostly been contained and, for most, life continues as normal. And since those bit don’t turn for a month or so, some infected are even allowed to spend their final days with family. This is the case with Maggie, who, after being bit, is allowed a chance to say goodbye to her family, including her father, Wade (Schwarzenegger).
What follows defies expectations. There are only a few zombie encounters, and they serve mostly to remind Wade that his daughter will soon be one of them. Maggie is best in the quiet moments: Maggie saying goodbye to an old friend, a laugh-filled family dinner, a lovely exchange between Maggie and an old flame, who is also infected. Maggie doesn’t resemble Dawn of the Dead so much as it does Brian’s Song; this is a straight-faced film about coping with encroaching death.
That’s not to say there isn’t a little kibble for horror fans. Cronenberg himself would applaud the black blood, gnarled digits, and gaping wounds that inflict the infected in their final days. And a lingering shot of a zombie child in her Sunday best is infinitely more effective than anything The Walking Dead has trotted out.
But, on the whole, Maggie is a funereal affair, to its detriment. A handful of scenes — most involving Maggie’s stepmom, Caroline (Joely Richardson) — plod along with cement boots. Humor is scarce, and the moments it surfaces make it difficult to return to Hobson’s rusty, desolate milieu, which is beautifully shot, but occasionally suffocating. Also, while Maggie’s refusal to indulge in traditional story beats is refreshing, it can also make the film feel overly contemplative, which can be distracting for a movie with so many sensational elements at its core.
And then there’s Arnold. First of all, he’s good. His understated performance is both resonant and heartfelt, his weathered frame indicative of years spent tilling dirt. And, truthfully, these are exactly the types of roles Arnold should be taking at his age. But there’s also a risk in casting him in a movie like Maggie — not because he can’t handle the material, but because there’s something inherently silly about Arnold: the sound boards, the late night sketches, the whole governor thing. Blame the accent, but society’s perception of Arnold is undoubtedly interwoven into his general character, and that hurts Maggie, a film that certainly didn’t need Arnold in the same way a movie like Escape Plan does.
Still, if you can set it all aside, the Governator brings it. So does Breslin, who never lets her character’s crumbling mortality overcome her youthful desires. Maggie is sweet, artful, and a necessary, unconventional addition to the overstuffed zombie genre. It’s also slow, thoughtful, and almost unbearably melancholy — traits audiences might not be looking for in an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie about zombies.
