Miracle Throne MT Chapter 439
MT Chapter 439
Chapter 439: Trial Field
“Chu Tian, how about it.” Meng Yingying was sitting in the arena’s break room with a proud look on her beautiful face, “How is the Virtual Arena outside?”
This was the first Spiritual Domain made by Meng Yingying and the Flower Fairies.
They created a spiritual space without any harm, making people fall into an illusory world with the same abilities as the real world. Therefore if they fight in the Virtual Arena, it was impossible to cause any real injuries.
The most important thing was that Meng Yingying finished the broadcast system to the real world!
Because the Virtual Arena constructed the illusions from the source energy array and the crystal, the illusions were stored in many connections that could be broadcasted. If they placed a disc player or a normal image transferring mirror there, people in the real world could see the battles in the Virtual Arena.
When the Spiritual Network was complete in the future, people from all over could compete in the Virtual Arena.
This kind of battle would cause no harm and no grudges, and it wouldn’t destroy the environment from the fights. People that practiced martial arts could observe battles between experts and normal people could also experience the fight of experts holding nothing back.
This will turn into a tidal wave people chase and there are many hidden business opportunities in this.
The Virtual Arena was sure to become popular, so even if they charged a small fee, it would still allow them to earn a large amount.
Nangong Yun was even more whimsical, she wanted to start gambling. She wanted to create a sporting event and turn the Virtual Arena into a culture. Nangong Yun was a person that loved fighting, so this kind of Virtual Arena to her was simply the best kind of recreation. She thought that whether it was to battle maniacs, gamblers, and normal people, the Virtual Arena was a huge market.
Meng Qingwu expressed support to her suggestions.
Chu Tian deliberately poured a bucket of cold water over her, “You’re satisfied with just this? Let me tell you, I’ve found at least several dozen faults with your arena!”
“Impossible!” Meng Yingying’s eyes became firm, but she was still a bit worried, “You….Tell me then!”
Chu Tian drank a mouthful of tea and said, “I’ve noted that the time in the Virtual Arena is half the normal time, so what we’re seeing in the real world is not the real time broadcast. When the fight in the arena is over, we’ll only have seen half of it! Isn’t that right?”
“Dumb, dumb, dumb!” Meng Yingying thought that Chu Tian would bring up a real problem, but she never thought it would be this simple. She arrogantly said, “You should change your idiotic brain, this is called an entrepreneur’s brain, don’t you understand?”
Aiyo, this girl’s actually daring to lecture me.
After not slapping her butt for so long, she’s actually becoming more and more bold.
She could talk about other things, but she’s not embarrassed to compare brains with Chu Tian?
Meng Yingying said, “The arena relies on tickets to make money, so if the real world saw a live broadcast, who would want to buy tickets to watch in the arena! Moreover the arena reduces time, so there can be more competitions held and this time saved is money! The Flower Fairies have studied with me and although the time in the spiritual world can be as much as one tenth of the real world, only people with strong spiritual energy can adapt. After countless experiments, we’ve discovered that normal people can withstand half the time, so to make it more accessible to everyone, we established the arena like this!”
“Boss, I have to say, why are you not progressive at all!” Nangong Yun also attacked Chu Tian, “Our Yingying has followed elder sister Qingwu for so long, she is beginning to think like a merchant.”
Chu Tian never would have thought he the world’s smartest person would actually be stunned into speechlessness by this dumb girl Yingying. This truly was a large stain on his life!
“Ke, ke, this is only a test for you, I just wanted to see if you’ve reached this conclusion by chance. Now it seems like you’re still fine and the real thing I wanted to talke about wasn’t this.”
“Alright, alright, don’t say anymore.” Meng Yingying played a trick on Chu Tian with great difficulty, she did not want Chu Tian to take it back. She immediately said, “Miracle Commerce don’t have enough people and we aren’t earning money fast enough. Don’t you think we should help elder sister? We should relieve a bit of her headache!”
“You actually are this thoughtful? Well what do you think we should do.”
“We can do this……”
Meng Yingying whispered into Chu Tian’s ear and Chu Tian nodded along to it, thinking that it was a bit interesting.
There were just too many people participating in Miracle City’s conscription this time.
Because Miracle City was holding this conscription event, it was open to all the surrounding tribes.
The forest locals all came to watch, at the very least they were giving it a lot of attention, but most of them had run to Miracle City to join the fun. Because of the attention drawn from the conscription, Miracle Commerce’s arena would become famous in the forest and this would be very effective to Miracle Commerce’s population.
There were some local tribe’s leaders and high level members that came to watch because some of their tribesmen came to join the army. During these past few days, they heard about how mysterious the Virtual Arena was, causing their minds to itch, wishing that they could give it a try.
But it was very regrettable.
The arena was not open to the public.
It was impossible for them to join the army, so they could only suppress their curiosity and obtain news on the arena every day. However, when they were feeling bored, Miracle Commerce sent out a piece of information.
After Miracle City created the arena.
Now they were opening a Trial Field!
The Trial Field was different from the arena. The Trial Field was separated into ten stages and each stage would have a difficult challenge. Miracle Commerce was providing prizes and it was said that if one could break through the fifth stage, they would be able to obtain a hundred low grade source stones. If anyone could break through the eighth stage, they would be able to receive one thousand low grade source stones. If anyone could break through the tenth stage, they would be able to receive ten thousand low grade source stones!
Beside the rich source stone prize, each stage would also have a random prize which was a state of the art Miracle Commerce product! This was a chance that couldn’t be missed!
Of course the Trial Field was not free, each challenge requires one to pay a fee of two source stones.
Moreover the challenge for the Trial Field had a minimal strength requirement, which was a minimum of being in the True Spirit Realm. This was simply tailored for the experts of the forest!
Recently, these people have already been very curious about Miracle Commerce’s arena, so now that there was a Trial Field, how could they miss it? It was just two source stones and even if these True Spirit Experts were poor, they still would not care about two trivial source stones.
When this news had just spread for several hours.
Seven-eight tribe chiefs led fifty-sixty experts to the Trial Field.
The Minotaur chief Arnold was among them and he anxiously shouted as soon as he arrive, “How do you play in the Trial Field? Quickly tell me, I want to gain the ten thousand source stones!”
“Ha, ha, Arnold, with your brain, you still want to take the ten thousand source stones?”
“Let me go instead!”
The advertisement Miracle Commerce sent out said that the Trial Field only had ten stages currently and the monsters and demon beasts that appeared were not strong. Even 1st True Spirit Layer people could pass through these stages, so how could these confident tribe chiefs not move out? The weakest among them was in the 3rd True Spirit Layer!
Ten stages passed meant ten thousand source stones.
This enticement was just too strong!
Arnold pulled out two source stones to give Meng Yingying and he let out a thick breath of air through his large nostrils. He looked at the other chiefs with an angry look, “Just wait, father will certainly succeed!”
When Arnold entered the Trial Field, an illusion immediately appeared in front of him.
This was a palace that wasn’t too big. After around a few minutes, there was a sharp cry in his ears as a large group of ghosts appeared in the palace. These ghosts were not too strong, only being around the 6th-7th Awakened Soul Layer.
Arnold laughed when he saw this.
This kind of enemy wanted to go against father?
This was a bit too easy to earn money!
Arnold brandished his giant axe and energy condensed on the blade, instantly cutting the formless ghost apart. Then the second one, the third one, and the fourth one…..Although there were many ghosts, they were not strong and Arnold cleaned them up in around ten minutes.
When Arnold thought he easily passed the stage, he was shocked to find that the ghost he cut down had reformed and there wasn’t a single one missing.
Arnold’s eyes opened wide and he could not understand what was happening, but the Minotaurs solved things with their muscles and not their brains. He wildly charged forward and swept through the ghosts again.
The countless pieces regrouped.
The ghosts were all reformed.
Damn, this was simply a dead end. How could he pass this stage?
Arnold killed the ghosts a third time and felt that most of his energy was drained, but what filled him with despair was the ghosts reforming once again. Arnold did not have the strength to kill them all again. When Arnold calmly thought about it, he finally realized the trick.
There was an array inside the statues of palace had an array and this power was restoring the ghosts. If Arnold thought to attack the statues from the beginning, he could destroy the ghosts with ease.
How could I be that dumb!
This obvious fault wasn’t found by me!
Arnold did not have any strength as countless ghosts charged out and instantly tore him to shreds, sending Arnold back to the Trial Field.
The other chiefs looked at each other in blank dismay, “He came out after only being inside for two minutes?”
“The Trial Field is different from the arena, the time inside the Trial Field is one twentieth the speed of the outside world. Chief Arnold has actually been inside for over forty minutes.” Nangong Yun walked over with a smile, “However, chief Arnold, you actually didn’t pass a single stage. You can only receive the consolation prize, five large cans of level two meat!”
After saying this.
A gnome lifted five cans of food that were delivered in front of him.
“Arnold, you actually didn’t even pass a single stage.”
These people ridiculed him holding nothing back, causing Arnold’s bull face to turn red. He angrily argued back, “Damn you, I was just careless, I’ll go again!”
Arnold charged into the trial space again.
Arnold came out in less than thirty seconds.
Arnold’s bull face twitched several times, “Damn, the statue cannot be destroyed blindly, they must have some rule and need to be destroyed in order. Again, again!”
This Minotaur chief was clearly very agitated from losing.
He entered the space again and again, spending at most two minutes each time before coming out. After going again and again, he had over ten tries and used over thirty low grade source stones.
“I’ve found the rule!” Arnold excitedly breathed out. Although he lost thirty source stones, spending his savings from the year, he did not feel any heartache. Rather he looked like he was filled with joy, “I’ve used all my source stones, lend some to me. I’ll definitely be able to pass this stage this time!”
Meng Yingying and Nangong Yun were taking money on the side.
The trial space was not as big as the arena, so only several people could challenge it at once, but time passed several times quicker in the trial space, so each time it only took a few minutes. These True Spirit Cultivators’ minds were not weak, so they could play for several hours without tiring.
Meng Yingying secretly bumped her arm into Nangong Yun beside her, “How much money have we earned?”
“Shh, quieter!” Nangong Yun stealthily looked over at her, “Chief Arnold has spent thirty two stones, chief Andre has spent twenty eight stones, great warrior Luca has spent twenty four stones…..In total, there is over three hundred source stones!”
Meng Yingying almost broke out in laughter of joy.
This was just too easy to earn money!
Only half an hour had passed now and there were many people lined up outside, with more and more people coming. Meng Yingying found that there were even gnomes and Druids among them, it seem like these people were all curious about the challenge.
If this Trial Field was to operate for a day, just how much source stones would they earn!
These fools, they didn’t use their minds it through. How could the trials Chu Tian created be easily broken? Moreover, that fellow Chu Tian was very sly. Everyone was just like Arnold, although they failed each time, they would find the path in the end, so they would keep trying.
Want to win ten thousand source stones? In your dreams!
Becoming like this at just the first stage, it wouldn’t be strange if you even lost your underwear!

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Political Justice and Its Influence on General Virtue, Fourth Edition : Book 5, Chapter 06 : Of Subjects
Revolt Library >> Anarchism >> An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Political Justice and Its Influence on General Virtue, Fourth Edition >> Book 00005, Chapter 00006
Author : William Godwin
(1756 - 1836) ~ Respected Anarchist Philosopher and Sociologist of the Enlightenment Era : His most famous work, An Inquiry concerning Political Justice, appeared in 1793, inspired to some extent by the political turbulence and fundamental restructuring of governmental institutions underway in France. Godwin's belief is that governments are fundamentally inimical to the integrity of the human beings living under their strictures... (From : University of Pennsylvania Bio.)

functions they possess. - Means by which the

exaggeration. -imposture generates- 1.
indifference to merit - 2. indifference to truth

incredulity of monarchical countries. - Injustice
of luxury - of the inordinate admiration of
wealth.
LET US proceed to consider the moral effects which the institution of monarchical government is calculated to produce upon the inhabitants of the countries in which it flourishes. And here it must be laid down as a first principle that monarchy is founded in imposture. It is false that kings are entitled to the eminence they obtain. They possess no intrinsic superiority over their subjects. The line of distinction that is drawn is the offspring of pretense, an indirect means employed for effecting certain purposes, and not the language of truth. It tramples upon the genuine nature of things, and depends for its support upon this argument, 'that, were it not for impositions of a similar nature, mankind would be miserable'.
Secondly, it is false that kings can discharge the functions of royalty. They pretend to superintend the affairs of millions, and they are necessarily unacquainted with these affairs. The senses of kings are constructed like those of other men: they can neither see nor hear what is transacted in their absence. They pretend to administer the affairs of millions, and they possess no such supernatural powers, as should enable them to act at a distance. They are nothing of what they would persuade us to believe them. The king is often ignorant of that of which half the inhabitants of his dominions are informed. His prerogatives are administered by others, and the lowest clerk in office is frequently, to this and that individual, more effectually the sovereign than the king himself He is wholly unacquainted with what is solemnly transacted in his name.
To conduct this imposture with success, it is necessary to bring over to its party our eyes and our ears. Accordingly kings are always exhibited with all the splendor of ornament, attendance and equipage. They live amid a sumptuousness of expense; and this, not merely to gratify their appetites but as a necessary instrument of policy. The most fatal opinion that could lay hold upon the minds of their subjects is that kings are but men. Accordingly, they are carefully withdrawn from the profaneness of vulgar inspection; and, when they are shown to the public, it is with every artifice that may dazzle our sense, and mislead our judgment.
The imposture does not stop with our eyes, but address itself to our ears. Hence the inflated style of regal formality. The name of the king everywhere obtrudes itself upon us. It would seem as if everything in the country, the lands, the houses, the furniture, and the inhabitants, were his property. Our estates are the king's dominions. Our bodies and minds are his subjects. Our representatives are his parliament. Our courts of law are his deputies. All magistrates, throughout the realm, are the king's officers. His name occupies the foremost place in all statutes and decrees. He is the prosecutor of every criminal. He is 'Our Sovereign Lord the King'. Were it possible that he should die, 'the fountain of our blood, the means by which we live', would be gone: every political function would be suspended. It is therefore one of the fundamental principles of monarchical government that 'the king cannot die'. Our moral principles accommodate themselves to our veracity: and, accordingly, the sum of our political duties (the most important of all duties) is loyalty; to be true and faithful to the king; to honor a man whom, it may be. we ought to despise; and to obey; that is, to convert our shame into our pride, and to be ostentatious of the surrender of our own understandings. The morality of adults in this situation is copied from the basest part of the morality sometimes taught to children; and the perfection of virtue is placed in blind compliance and unconditional submission.
What must be the effects of this machine upon the moral principles of mankind? Undoubtedly we cannot trifle with the principles of morality and truth with impunity. However gravely the imposture may be carried on, it is impossible but that the real state of the case should be strongly suspected. Man in a state of society, if undebauched by falsehoods like these, which confound the nature of right and wrong, is not ignorant of what it is in which merits consists. He knows that one man is not superior to another, except so far as he is wiser or better. Accordingly these are the distinctions to which he aspires for himself. These are the qualities he honors and applauds in another, and which therefore the feelings of each man instigate his neighbors to acquire. But what a revolution is introduced among these original and undebauched sentiments by the arbitrary distinctions which monarchy engenders? We still retain in our minds the standard of merit: but it daily grows more feeble and powerless; we are persuaded to think that it is of no real use in the transactions of the world, and presently lay it aside as Utopian and visionary.
Nor is this the whole of the injurious consequences produced by the hyperbolical pretensions of monarchy. There is a simplicity in truth that refuses alliance with this impudent mysticism. No man is entirely ignorant of the nature of man. He will not indeed be incredulous to a degree of energy and rectitude that may exceed the standard of his preconceived ideas. But for one man to pretend to think and act for a nation of his fellows is so preposterous as to set credibility at defiance. Is he persuaded that the imposition is salutary? He willingly assumes the right of introducing similar falsehoods into his private affairs. He becomes convinced that veneration for truth is to be classed among our errors and prejudices, and that, so far from being, as it pretends to be, in all cases salutary, it would lead, if ingenuously practiced, to the destruction of mankind.
Again, if kings were exhibited simply as they are in themselves to the inspection of mankind, the 'salutary prejudice', as it has been called,1 which teaches us to venerate them would speedily be extinct: it has therefore been found necessary to surround them with luxury and expense. Thus luxury and expense are made the standard Of honor, and of consequence the topics of anxiety and envy. However fatal this sentiment may be to the morality and happiness of mankind, it is one of those illusions which monarchical government is eager to cherish. In reality, the first principle of virtuous feeling, as has been elsewhere said,2 is the love of independence. He that would be just must, before all things, estimate the objects about him at their true value. But the principle in regal states has been to think your father the wisest of men, because he is your father,3 and your king the foremost of his species because he is a king. The standard of intellectual merit is no longer the man, but his title. To be drawn in a coach of state by eight milk-white horses is the highest of all human claims to our veneration. The same principle inevitably runs through every order of the state, and men desire wealth under a monarchical government for the same reason that, under other circumstances, they would have desired virtue.
Let us suppose an individual who by severe labor earns a scanty subsistence, to become, by accident or curiosity, a spectator of the pomp of a royal progress. Is it possible that he should not mentally apostrophize this elevated mortal, and ask, 'What has made thee to differ from me?' If no such sentiment pass through his mind, it is a proof that the corrupt institutions of society have already divested him of all sense of justice. The more simple and direct is his character, the more certainly will these sentiments occur. What answer shall we return to his inquiry? That the well being of society requires men to be treated otherwise than according to their intrinsic merit? Whether he be satisfied with this answer or no, will he not aspire to possess that (which in this instance is wealth) to which the policy of mankind has annexed such high distinction? Is it not indispensable that, before he believes in the rectitude of this institution, his original feelings of right and wrong should be wholly reversed? If it be indispensable, then let the advocate of the monarchical system ingenuously declare that, according to that system, the interest of society, in the first instance, requires the subversion of all principles of moral truth and justice.
With this view let us again recollect the maxim adopted in monarchical countries, 'that the king never dies'. Thus, with true oriental extravagance, we salute this imbecile mortal, 'O king, live for ever I' Why do we this? Because upon his existence the existence of the state depends. In his name the courts of law are opened. If his political capacity be suspended for a moment, the center to which all public business is linked is destroyed. In such countries everything is uniform: the ceremony is all, and the substance nothing. In the, riots in the year 1780, the mace of the house of lords was proposed to be sent into the passages, by the terror of its appearance to quiet the confusion but it was observed that, if the mace should be rudely detained by the rioters, the whole would be thrown into anarchy. Business would be at a stand; their insignia, and, with their insignia, their legislative and deliberative functions would be gone. Who can expect firmness and energy in a country where everything is made to depend, not upon justice, public interest and reason, but upon a piece of gilded wood? What conscious dignity and virtue can there be among a people who, if deprived of the imaginary guidance of one vulgar mortal, are taught to believe that their faculties are benumbed, and all their joints unstrung?
Lastly, one of the most essential ingredients in a virtuous character is undaunted firmness; and nothing can more powerfully tend to destroy this principle than the spirit of a monarchical government. The first lesson of virtue is, Fear no man; the first lesson of such a constitution is, Fear the king. The true interest of man requires the annihilation of factitious and imaginary distinctions; it is inseparable from monarchy to support and render them more palpable than ever. He that cannot speak to the proudest despot with a consciousness that he is a man speaking to a man, and a determination to yield him no superiority to which his inherent qualifications do not entitle him, is wholly incapable of an illustrious virtue. How many such men are bred within the pale of monarchy? How long would monarchy maintain its ground in a nation of such men? Surely it would be wisdom in society, instead of conjuring up a thousand phantoms to seduce us into error, instead of surrounding us with a thousand fears to deprive us of energy, to 'remove every obstacle to our progress, and smooth the path of improvement.
Virtue was never yet held in much honor and esteem in a monarchical country. It is the inclination and the interest of courtiers and kings to bring it into disrepute; and they are but too successful in the attempt. Virtue is, in their conception, arrogant, intrusive, unmanageable and stubborn. It is an assumed outside, by which those who pretend to it, intend to gratify their rude tempers, or their secret views. Within the circle of monarchy, virtue is always regarded with dishonorable incredulity. The philosophical system, which affirms self-love to be the first mover of all our actions, and the falsity of human virtues, is the growth of these countries.4 Why is it that the language of integrity and public spirit is constantly regarded among us as hypocrisy? It was not always thus. It was not till the usurpation of Cesar, that books were written, by the tyrant and his partizans, to prove that Cato was no better than a snarling pretender.5
There is a further consideration which has seldom been adverted to upon this subject, but which seems to be of no inconsiderable importance. In our definition of justice, it appeared that our debt to our fellow men extended to all the efforts we could make for their welfare, and all the relief we could supply to their necessities. Not a talent do we possess, not a moment of time, not a shilling of property, for which we are not responsible at the tribunal of the public, which we are not obliged to pay into the general bank of common advantage. Of every one of these things there is an employment which is best, and that best justice obliges us to select. But how extensive is the consequence of this principle with respect to the luxuries and ostentation of human life? How many of these luxuries are there that would stand the test, and approve themselves, upon examination, to be the best objects upon which our property could be employed? will it often come out to be true that hundreds of individuals ought to be subjected to the severest and most incessant labor, that one man may spend in idleness what would afford to the general mass ease, leisure and consequently wisdom?
Whoever frequents the habitations of the luxurious will speedily be infected with the vises of luxury. The ministers and attendants of a sovereign, accustomed to the trappings of magnificence, will turn with disdain from the merit that is obscured with the clouds of adversity. In vain may virtue plead, in vain may talents solicit distinction, if poverty seem, to the fastidious sense of the man in place, to envelop them, as it were, with its noisome effluvia. The very lacquey knows how to repel unfortunate merit from the great man's door.
Here then we are presented with the lesson which is, loudly and perpetually, read through all the haunts of monarchy. Money is the great requisite, for the want of which nothing can atone. Distinction, the homage and esteem of mankind, are to be bought, not earned. The rich man need not trouble himself to invite them, they come unbidden to his surly door. Rarely indeed does it happen that there is any crime that gold cannot expiate, any baseness and meanness of character that wealth cannot shroud in oblivion. Money therefore is the only object worthy of your pursuit, and it is of little importance by what sinister and unmanly means, so it be but obtained.
It is true that virtue and talents do not stand in need of the great man's assistance, and might, if they did but know their worth, repay his scorn with a just and enlightened pity. But, unfortunately, they are often ignorant of their strength, and adopt the errors they see universally espoused. Were it otherwise, they would indeed be happier, but the general manners would perhaps remain the same. The general manners are fashioned by the form and spirit of the national government; and if, in extraordinary cases, they cease to yield to the mold, they speedily change the form to which they fail to submit.
The evils indeed that arise out of avarice, an inordinate admiration of wealth and an intemperate pursuit of it are so obvious that they have constituted a perpetual topic of lamentation and complaint. The object in this place is to consider how far they are extended and aggravated by a monarchical government, that is, by a constitution the very essence of which is to accumulate enormous wealth upon a single head, and to render the ostentation of splendor the established instrument for securing honor and veneration. The object is to consider in what degree the luxury of courts, the effeminate softness of favorites, the system, never to be separated from the monarchical form, of putting men's approbation and good word at a price, of individuals buying the favor of government, and government buying the favor of individuals, is injurious to the moral improvement of mankind. As long as the unvarying practice of courts is cabal, and as long as the unvarying tendency of cabal is to bear down talents, and discourage virtue, to recommend cunning in the room of sincerity, a servile and supple disposition in preference to firmness and inflexibility, a pliant and selfish morality as better than an ingenuous one, and the study of the red book of promotion rather than the study of the general welfare, so long will monarchy be the bitterest and most potent of all the adversaries of the true interests of mankind.

3'The persons whom you ought to love infinitely more than me are those to whom you are indebted for your existence.' 'Their conduct ought to regulate yours and be the standard of your sentiments.'

'Ce que vous devez aimer avant moi sans aucune comparaison, ce sont ceux á qui vous devez la vie.' 'Leur conduite doit régler la vôtre et fixer votre opinion.'

With regard to larger multifamilies these days, the fact is, no one is out there selling properties in great shape, where all their tenants are paying their rent on time. They’re all in rough condition. If you want a good price on something, you’re going to be subjected to properties that are in disarray to some extent or have tenant issues.

Therefore, in one sense, the Council on Revenue wields a lot of power because its projections of revenues form the basis for legislative appropriations as well as for the release of funds once the budget has been adopted by the legislature and approved by the governor. When times are good and revenues are rising, few, if any, pay attention to the Council on Revenues as tax revenues seem to outpace the Council forecasts on the upswing, but that is certainly not the case as revenues erode. Each meeting of the Council is awaited with bated breath and is watched with cautious fears as revenues decline..

Hamilton North and East councillor Davie McLachlan was suspended on Tuesday amid allegations of racism.He is now facing an investigation into claims he said Scotland isn’t ready for a “brown, Muslim P” as leader of the party to MSP Anas Sarwar.The offensive comments, revealed in our sister title the Daily Record this week, were allegedly made to Sarwar as he ran against Richard Leonard in last year’s leadership contest.However, McLachlan a Labour councillor for 22 years told the Advertiser he would “robustly” defend himself against the claims.He said: “I categorically deny these deeply hurtful accusations. I am stunned and dismayed at the claim that I would say such things, and I will defend myself robustly in the party’s investigation and in any actions that follow.”Early in the campaign I pledged my support to Anas but later decided to support Mr Leonard. Anas will know this and would understandably be upset.”Sarwar claimed earlier this week that he was subjected to the racial slur as he canvassed for support.He said: “A leader of a Labour council group told me very clearly the reason that he couldn’t support me in the leadership election was that, in his words, Scotland wasn’t ready for a ‘brown, Muslim P’.”When I challenged him on that, saying it was a racist, Islamophobic comment, he said that wasn’t his opinion, it was his fear about what his constituents believe.”Sarwar, the son of the UK’s first Muslim MP, Mohammad Sarwar, declined to publicly name the councillor.But he divulged McLachlan’s identity in a meeting with Scottish Labour’s general secretary Brian Roy on Tuesday.

Iridium treatment eliminates glare. Six base lens curve. 100% UV protection. You pass a window, you walk to Central Park, you find yourself swimming in the color blue: the actual light is blue, and over the course of an hour or so this blue deepens, becomes more intense even as it darkens and fades, approximates finally the blue of the glass on a clear day at Chartres, or that of the Cerenkov radiation thrown off by the fuel rods in the pools of nuclear reactors. The French called this time of day “l’heure bleue.” To the English it was “the gloaming.” The very word “gloaming” reverberates, echoes the gloaming, the glimmer, the glitter, the glisten, the glamour carrying in its consonants the images of houses shuttering, gardens darkening, grass lined rivers slipping through the shadows. During the blue nights you think the end of day will never come.

I didn want to risk my eyes because I was too cheap to buy real glasses..
It’s yet another step in the effort to make wearable devices into accessories that consumers may actually want to wear. Earlier this month, Google announced that it was adding four new styles to glass, including those that support prescription lenses, in a move that seemed like a bid to take the idea of Glass further into the mainstream. After all, if Glass starts to look like a normal pair of glasses or, even better, a cool pair then it’s more likely that the general consumer will be willing to consider buying one..

The only way to treat celiac disease is to avoid eating gluten.At the annual meeting of the American College of Gastroenterology, Prakash and her colleagues presented a case report on a 28 year old woman with celiac disease who had successfully controlled her symptoms for several years by restricting the amount of gluten in her diet.After starting to use a new body lotion, however, the woman developed an itchy, blistering rash on her arms, as well as abdominal bloating and diarrhea all of which disappeared once she stopped using the lotion.Gluten can be absorbed through the skin, but people may accidentally ingest small quantities of lotion, lipstick, or other products if they have the product on their hands or use it around their mouth.Health care providers and consumers alike need to be aware of the potential for this type of inadvertent gluten exposure, Borum says. You just focusing on food intake, you may be missing something that very important and could make a difference in someone life. How can celiac patients avoid hidden gluten in toiletries and cosmetics?A handful of companies do make gluten free cosmetics, and consumers can also contact manufacturers directly to find out which of their products contain gluten.

Aliens change their stories to delude man into believing their lies. One example of this is that before man had been to outer space or sent satellites there, aliens would claim to be from planets such as Jupiter in our solar system. As time went on and man learned more about our planets, we realized that no one could live on a planet like Jupiter, so aliens changed their story.

In self government, what’s the relation between the self doing the governing and the self being governed? Similarly intractable questions can be asked about all of them. You’ll know you’re getting somewhere when the other sputters (I say somewhat resentfully) “alright, so what’s your solution?” What’s your rush? Isn’t it helpful to keep working through the supplementations? Ultimately, we’d work our way towards sheer power analysis, which is extremely disconcerting for a liberal, but, then, what is power? Once we start to see it everywhere, we can start stripping it of all those same supplementations meant to make power “accountable” to some imaginary super sovereign. So, you really mean brute force, don’t you?! The more we find power everywhere, the more it must be just about the exact opposite of that.

Cultivating those supporters can make or break a creator’s career. Sonja R., a closely followed video gamer who goes by the online handle OMGitsfirefoxx, talks to fans online and makes an effort to remember many of their names. Now she has more than 700,000 followers each on YouTube and Twitch.
So as Roberts hit dead ends in his efforts to break up the fixed revenue percentage model at the heart of the MoU, Sutherland was left to wait until the urgency of the dispute and other related issues, such as numerous pending commercial deals and looming tours of Bangladesh and India, forced the Board to soften its stance. It has been noted by numerous observers that the deal finally reached in early August, after the players had gone unpaid for more than a month and the Australia A tour of South Africa cancelled, could easily have been struck months before. Perhaps it would have if Sutherland had been allowed to take part, or to freely express his opinion about the sports landscape as a Board director..
Plan to stay involved, she said. Been such an important part of my life. Hawaii Alliance of Boys Girls Clubs is made up of three nonprofit organizations the Boys Girls Club of Hawaii, the Boys Girls Club of the Big Island and the Boys Girls Clubs of Maui.
The lush volume teems with screen grabs, illustrations, production stills, blueprints, gatefolds and the kind of stuff even Potterheads will find obsessive. Pages and pages are devoted to the CGI rendering of Buckbeak the Hippogriff, for example. Flip to the section titled “The Art of Harry Potter” to read all you could possibly need to know about the flocking of the films’ centaurs.
Many people simply refused to go in the old barber shop. It was there where a brutal murder occurred. Several people over the years have told of seeing a dark shadowy figure with bright red eyes in the area of the old barber shop. Over the years it’s a possibility that people closest to and who live near the narcissist, particularly family and friends around them, may start to point the finger and make accusations, which are often wrongly targeted at the narcissist’s victim. Sometimes people may gradually begin to realize the shocking truth and will eventually have no choice but to break off all contact with the narcissist (and family) and move away, there may even be a great deal of damage done however, this will only ever take place over the course of several years and it involves somewhat of an ‘awakening’ process. The narcissist will act innocent usually having everybody around them fooled, thinking that everybody is incorrectly pointing the finger at them, no matter what.
Mr Hirstle said: had been out about half an hour when his brother came upstairs screaming, holding him in his arms. I blame myself every day. There is no one else to blame. While waiting for the water to boil, take out your sterilized jars, lids, and rings from the dishwasher (or from their boiling water bath) and place on a clean towel. Using a ladle, carefully fill the jars to within 1/4 inch from the rim. This usually is to the first screw line on the jar.
It was around this time a year ago when some of us (guilty, Your Honor) saw the Mets re sign Yoenis Cespedes and assumed they were done with austerity. I won’t fully admit I was until the Mets come up empty this hot stove season. Ed Cohen has been a terrific addition to the booth, and this has quickly become as good a broadcasting partnership as there is right now in our city..
Also, not all science majors are created equal. Some indeed are non essential and would be the first to go if there was a budget slash. For example, government would probably slash geologists first before slashing scientists working in cyber security for their softwares.
But a year into his term, Americans’ confidence in Obama is shrinking and more feel negatively about the country’s direction, according to the latest ABC News/Washington Post poll.

The Bulls held their first organizational meeting to plot strategy for this avenue the week before the combine. There’s internal optimism the NBA will grant the Bulls a medical hardship waiver on Omer Asik once its review of his Crohn’s disease is complete. That would add $3 million to the Bulls’ projected $20 million to $21 million of cap space..
Answering one kind of madness with another, Spike Lee’s Chi Raq approaches the plague of gun violence in Chicago with a staggering disregard for propriety. Just the title alone a reference to a fatality rate that’s exceeded that of American soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan over the same period was enough to raise the ire of the city’s image conscious elite, but that’s merely a throat clearing for the operatic fantasia to come. With Aristophanes’ Lysistrata serving as an audacious starting point, Lee’s musical/satire/feature length editorial lurches from genre to genre and tone to tone with as much freewheeling spontaneity as possible for a film where the dialogue is almost entirely in verse.
He and the Dems have put us in debt that we’ll never dig our way out of and he’s ramped up a preposterous war that uselessly wastes our dwindling resources, both human and monetary. We must send a message to all these jokers and vote them all out of office. Enough is enough.
Women are told they aren’t really women if they don’t have children, men are told they aren’t manly. They are all told they can have no opinions on child rearing or child welfare even if the issues being discussed are pretty straightforward ethical or safety issues. Many of them work the most unpredictable and least desired shifts, get lower priority on requests for days off, and get far less flexibility for scheduling around appointments and family activities.
Capital, hears a lot of misconceptions when representing her city in the South.”It very common,” she said. She allows that Yellowknife and Yukon both starting with a Y might be a source of confusion, but calls it “unfortunate that Canadians mix up that geography so much.”Alty says people have asked her if she knows someone in Whitehorse, which she likens to asking an Albertan if they know someone in Saskatchewan.”I don know if there anything we could do as a nation to get better at remembering the three territories, but it would be great if we could.”Why the territories matterCoates says meaningful investment in the territories could have a big impact. “I think we failing in that regard.””If you want to see Canada future, in many ways take a look to the North,” Coates said.”Not because it going to produce wealth for the country as a whole, but because it producing viable solutions of local populations that wanted stability, they want shared prosperity, and they want shared opportunity, and so we should pay attention to that.”.
By rinsing the leaves before placing them in the pot, you will not taste the baking soda. If you prefer, just use water. And although this is a collard green recipe, you can use the same recipe for kale. The problem is the timing. There has been speculation for weeks that James is considering leaving Cleveland next summer, when both Irving and Love will be a year away from free agency. If James decides to go to Los Angeles or elsewhere, no one would question the two remaining stars if they went to ownership and asked to be moved, as well.

Druid Hill Park It’s one of the oldest landscaped parks in the country (just one year younger than New York’s Central Park), encompassing 745 acres in the center of Baltimore since 1860. You’ve got to pay to get inside its main attraction, the Maryland Zoo, but there’s no charge to walk or bike along the reservoir, enjoy the many statues (including Scotland’s William Wallace, of “Braveheart” fame) or scope out the old, left for dead fountains and other pieces scattered throughout the park. Nice place for a picnic, too..
But just a second. Don’t get too pump up when you hear this word used, let’s say by a friend. It could be used simply just a word with a touch of endearment and concern from a close friend.

“At school, we were scolded if we spoke anything other than English,” said Chew, a Boise Democrat. “I did not realize I was speaking Chinese, I was just speaking.

She remains isolated and unable to relate to other human beings.

“We probably get a hundred letters a year from people claiming they’re building the world’s biggest rubber band ball,” says Lou McKibber of the Dykema Rubber Band Co. But only one or two others had ever sought the quantity Joel was looking for: “Anytime somebody wants to buy a thousand pounds at a time, you know they’re serious.”Joel’s ball soon outgrew his house, so he rolled it into the backyard. Then in January 2006, an Oregon man, Steve Milton, began building his own ball.

Box 1 lists some children’s ideas about cancer. All children except for two of the youngest said that they had heard of cancer as a disease or illness before their mother’s cancer was diagnosed. Some reported learning about cancer from the media (television advertisements for cancer research or health promotion, soap operas, and films), awareness of celebrities with cancer, direct experience of someone with cancer (family, neighbour, or parent of a school friend), and science lessons at school (from year 6).
There is clearly no place in the Catholic Church for women. Why waste our time worrying what these old men think?

A lot of these guys didn experience what we did last year so it a whole new ball club. So in Dubya stomping grounds, where they elected to practice after ending their season here Wednesday, the Raptors were on their best verbal behavior.

The music to O Come All Ye Faithful was composed by fellow Englishman John Reading in the early 1700s. The tune was first published in a collection known as “Cantus Diversi” in 1751.
In particular, Tanks points to the joint effort a few years ago by Apple and sports shoe manufacturer Nike to co ordinate their products: “The iPod plus Nike concept was a classic example of two key companies recognising a convergence and making a charge for it. It was an absolutely fantastic concept, it was brilliant a mix of biometrics, training and entertainment that worked well together.”In northern hemisphere markets, ski jackets and parkas incorporating sleeve controls for electronic gadgets have also achieved success. “In the ski business there are premium products that sell steadily in North America and central Europe, but in Australia you could probably count on both hands the number of people who would want that kind of product,” Tanks says.”Australia would want something different, something more for our lifestyle.

Without them, the Warriors were able to put the Bulls away with relative ease without having Curry ever getting into a rhythm. He was in foul trouble, scoring just 13 points on 5/11 shooting.

When we’re hard at work, we’re focused. However, letting our brains diffuse, in Oakley’s words, switches our brain to “relaxation” mode and allows it to begin making connections between what we’ve focused on and what we know.
Social media has given commuters a new voice. I see it daily and so has NJ Transit. Sometimes it is a snarky voice, which belies the frustration of dealing with day in and day out delays just going to work.

She was nipping at my tail feathers heavily on this crazy morning. Finally I head for the door, bag in hand, pointing out that I was running late, very late.

Weight of footwear is based on a single item, not a pair. Acetic acid, acetone, water, and CO2 were released at high temperatures with relative acetone yields found to be dependent on precursor identity, with very little formed from ZCA compared with ZHA and ZNA. Combined FTIR and XRD analysis of solid residues extracted at different points in the heating profile suggests that ketonization occurs via dissociative adsorption of acetic acid on ZnO surfaces. Nanometer sized ZnO particles were formed from ZHA, showing slight preferential growth in the ZnO (002) lattice direction, while the presence of a second metal, Ni or Cu, served to retard ZnO crystallite growth at temperatures below 600 C and eliminate preferential growth.

Open Country, Iowa
Rural Women, Tradition, and Change
Deborah Fink - Author
SUNY series in the Anthropology of Work
Open Country, Iowa links anthropology and history in a woman's perspective on the changing social patterns of rural Iowa communities. Using life stories which she has collected, Deborah Fink explores the experiences of today's women. She traces them to past influences, beginning with the time of the first settlers, and shows how family, religion, and work have changed over the years. Her interpretation of social patterns as determined by the history of national politics, economics, kinship, and community culture, call into question some common understandings about the traditional role of women and about changes initiated by World War II.

Poor coordination Armed forces told to tighten up cyber defences
This content was published on May 29, 2017 10:36 AM May 29, 2017 - 10:36
Some 150 countries suffered a global ransomware attack this month
Switzerland’s military is poorly equipped to deal with persistent, long-term cyber attacks, according to a defence ministry internal audit. Documents seen by the media criticize the disjointed nature of the ministry’s current strategy.
The Zentralschweiz am Sonntag and Südostschweiz am Sonntag newspapers quoted the audit as saying "various cyber bodies have been created at a strategic level at the [defence ministry] in recent years, although nothing sustainable has been established.” In other words, too many overlapping cyber projects have been started with poor coordination and no long-term thinking.
Defence ministry spokeswoman Karin Suini acknowledged the audit’s findings, but wrote an opinion piece in the Sunday newspapers outlining recent changes in cyber defence strategy. A central working group was set up in February 2016, Suini wrote, following revelations that the state-monitored defence contractor RUAG had been hacked.
Around 23 gigabytes of data was stolen from RUAG between 2014 and the beginning of 2016, although the defence ministry said no crucial information about Swiss armed forces had been hacked.
Last April, Defence Minister Guy Parmelin started work on a ‘Cyber Action Plan’. This had already identified the need for a central body within the ministry to coordinate strategy, Suini wrote. Once implemented in 2020, the action plan will divert 2% of the armed force’s total budget towards tackling cyber crime – CHF100 million out of a CHF5 billion ($5.13 billion) annual budget.
The defence ministry is not tasked with tackling civilian cyber attacks, but could offer support if critical infrastructures are hit. Earlier this month, some 200,000 computer systems in 150 countries were hit by ransomware bug WannaCry, but Switzerland was relatively unscathed by the attack.

Shabana Crowned U.S. Open Champion
Philadelphia, PA. — The weeklong Delaware Investments U.S. Open squash tournament culminated last night in a match pitting two of Dunlop’s top Tour Team members, Nick Matthew and Amr Shabana, against one another. As the top ranked player in the world, Nick Matthew was the favorite going in, but it was the Egyptian Shabana who left the glass court victorious after a 51 minute four game final he won going away 11/9, 8/11, 11/2, 11/4.
In the first two games, the crowd in Philadelphia saw each player battle back from an early deficit to produce some end-of-game drama. In the first game it was the Englishman Matthew who used his Dunlop Biomimetic Evolution 130 to claw back from a 6-1 deficit, only to go down 11-9. Then in the second game, Shabana upped the ante by coming back from an 8-1 hole using his Biomimetic Ultimate, only to fall 11-8. From that point forward, Shabana dominated as Matthew began to struggle physically. The final two games lasted a total of only 15 minutes. This is Shabana’s second U.S. Open title in three years.
“First we’d like to congratulate U.S. Squash for putting on a great tournament in Philadelphia this past week,” said Steve Hall, Director of Marketing for Dunlop Racket Sports. “As the leading brand in squash, and a big supporter of U.S. Squash, it was great to see the event first-hand on the campus of Drexel University. This was the perfect setting for squash enthusiasts to see the new line of Biomimetic rackets, and having both of the men’s finalists come from our stable of players further enhanced Dunlop’s position as the world’s number one squash brand. We’re already looking forward to the event next year.”

25th Montreal SOCAN Awards
Montréal – On the evening of December 2nd, a who’s who of the Canadian music industry will gather in the Grand Salon of the Hôtel Hyatt Regency Montréal for the25th Annual SOCAN Montréal Awards Gala to celebrate the creative minds whose words and music have left a permanent mark in our hearts, ignited our imaginations, aroused our emotions, and defined an entire culture.
Hosted by Michel Rivard, more than 100 awards will be presented in 20 different categories, including additions for 2014: Country Music, Urban Music, Breakoutand Songwriter(s) of the Year.
In 1990, the first francophone SOCAN Gala was held in Montreal to honour the members of SOCAN – the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada, to highlight the tremendous success of its music creators and publishers, celebrating exceptional songwriting success, composition for music for film and television, and paying tribute to the builders, immortals and visionaries of the Canadian music scene.
Twenty-five years and nearly 2,000 awards later, SOCAN remains more committed than ever to recognizing the work of its members.
“The music ecosystem is undergoing profound change, and SOCAN is no exception,” said SOCAN CEO Eric Baptiste. “SOCAN is evolving and innovating, inspired by the extraordinary creativity and drive of our members. Now, more than ever, the Gala promises to live up to its stellar reputation with our anniversary edition: warm, friendly, and packed with passion and emotion. It will be an evening of tribute to the musical architects of our collective heritage and creators of tomorrow’s memories – because the present and the future are necessarily built upon the grounding of our past.”
“In one of his most beautiful songs, Georges Brassens sang about the ‘saintliness of artistic solidarity.’ That’s the feeling I get every time I attend the SOCAN Gala: the pleasure of sharing a common trade, of a job well-done, and the respect of the work beyond genres and styles,” Michel Rivard commented. “To host the event is even better! It’s easy to liven up something that is already fully alive. And on top of it all, I get to shake hands and kiss everyone. It’s a hard life, I tell you!”
In a major addition to the honours, a new trophy called “The SOCAN” – both a prestigious award and itself a functional musical instrument, developed in partnership with SABIAN of New Brunswick and Society Awards of New York – will be presented to the highest honourees.
The SOCAN will be presented to four great figures of the Quebec music industry, in theInspiration, Homage, International and Excellence categories; the first recognizes one of the most celebrated managers in Canadian history; the second, a passionate and visionary music executive; the third, a band of incredible songwriters lauded all over the planet; and the fourth, a late, lamented giant of country music.
About SOCAN
SOCAN is a member-based and governed organization that represents the Canadian performing rights of more than three-million Canadian and international music creators and publishers. SOCAN is proud to play a leading role in supporting the long-term success of its more than 120,000 Canadian members, and the Canadian music industry overall. SOCAN licenses more than 125,000 businesses in Canada, and distributes royalties to its members and music rights organizations around the world. SOCAN also distributes royalties to its members for the use of their music internationally in collaboration with its peer societies.

Be carefull. You never know who is staring over your shoulder.
Although it is rare to find religion in a movie these days, you can still find it in classic films. Strange Cargo is all about Christianity, but it is a bit odd. In It's A Wonderful Life, an angel comes from heaven to help a man. Here, the man's identity is a bit more ambiguous, even though his intentions are just as obvious.
Gable plays an inmate, Verne, at a penal colony in South America. He has attempted many escapes. The jungle makes escaping nearly impossible. Early in the movie he sneaks off and goes to visit a tough acting prostitute, Julie. She turns him in, but gets herself into trouble nonetheless.
Meanwhile, a mysterious stranger suddenly appears in the form of an inmate and everyone acts as if he has always been there all along. He reads and quotes the Bible, while seeming to know what will happen before it does. A small band of convicts escape their prison and race through the jungle to a waiting boat. The spiritual man is among them. Verne has likewise escaped and met up with Julie. They eventually meet up with the rest of the group.
Along the way, the men start dying off while the strange cargo spouts advice and proverbs. Obviously this is a film of salvation. Occasionally someone will ask him how he seems to know everything, but it never really gets explored. Even at the end of the movie he just disappears. Was he God or an angel? The movie never says for sure.
The best thing about Strange Cargo is Clark Gable and Joan Crawford. In one early scene Gable acts horny as hell and practically rapes Crawford when he first gets into her room. Crawford however, is playing a woman who has been around the block more than she can count, so she can handle his sexual aggression. Gable's best line in the movie is when he says to Crawford, "I don't know what you'll look like tomorrow, but right now, baby, you're the most beautiful dame in the world." Interesting to note is that this was Gable's follow up film to Gone with the Wind.
There is some action and drama. The group of convicts kills and betrays each other constantly. However, there is plenty of yakking and preaching that slow the pace down. Just why "God" wants to save the souls of these wretched folks is never stated. Although this is a tale of redemption, I had a hard time caring if any of these morally bankrupt people lived or died.
Reviewed on: February 7th, 2015
Joan Crawford and Clark Gable in Strange Cargo.
Yeah, Strange Cargo is an exciting adventure tale bogged down with overt Christian symbolism that never really gels and fails to pay off in a satisfying manner at the conclusion. Clearly Ian Hunter is playing a Christ-like figure. Eric, according to scripture Jesus spent a good deal of his time ministering to prostitutes, thieves and murderers so it makes perfect sense that God would send this man to help bring these wretched souls home. If they weren't sinners they wouldn't need saving.
Notice how Cambreau comforts the men as they are dying or are about to die. Only one soul remains out of reach and that's Hessler (Judas?), played by Paul Lukas. He slinks away at night in a storm never to be heard from again. Of course Gable and Crawford get the best of both worlds; their characters alone find redemption without having to die for it.
But to be honest, as Eric already mentioned, all of this sermonizing only serves to slow the picture down. And it truly wasn't needed. You already have all the ingredients necessary to make a great adventure movie. Plus you have two of the biggest stars in the world. Gable and Crawford (in their eighth and final picture together) are combustible. Gable's dashing noble-rogue and Crawford's bad-girl-with-a-heart-of-gold were made for each other. Crawford in particular gives an emotionally raw performance.
The dialogue between Gable and Crawford crackles. Eric mentioned one of Gable's best lines. Here's one of my favorite bits of conversation between them. In the scene where Verne discovers Julie at the miners camp, Julie throws a frying pan at a man who's about to attack Verne from behind. After punching the man and knocking him out, Verne thanks Julie. She tells him, “Don't thank me. I didn't give you a thing. All I want's to get out of here and you happen to be going my way. So I played ya. But the minute I find somebody going faster I'll..." The ever confident Gable cuts her off with, “You won't. C'mon.”
The supporting cast does good work as well. Albert Dekker makes a great foil for Gable as the bully Moll. He was physically imposing and a damn fine actor. Paul Lukas had an intelligence about him that really suits the character of Hessler. Ian Hunter maintains a passive countenance and a calm attitude at all times as Cambreau. Peter Lorre played slimy creeps better than anyone. His presence improved any movie and M'sieu Pig is no exception to that rule.
Strange Cargo is strange indeed.

My Fatherby Louise
My father is 76 years old. He was diagnosed with anaplastic thyroid cancer in November 2008. By the time the cancer was discovered it was already terminal and he was told he wouldn't make it to Christmas. It was the first time the doctors at the hospital had seen this type of cancer first hand, and even they admitted they were out of their comfort zone on this one, but they didn't let that stop them.
My father went for surgery in December 2008, and we were told that one of two things would happen. When they opened him up they would find that either they couldn't do anything, in which case he would be back in the ward in an hour, or he'd be down in surgery for several hours while they took out whatever cancer they could.
Fortunately, they were able to remove his thyroid with the tumor, but they had to also take some of his neck muscle and 11 glands from his neck. In the process his vocal cords were damaged so his voice has been affected. Since then he has had to have other surgeries to remove cancerous tissue and has undergone several rounds of follow-up treatment.
We have known from the start that he isn't going to be cured, that all of this is just to stall the inevitable, but in the time the doctors have been able to give him he has been able to see both my sister and my brother find people they love and get married. He has also been able to meet his new grandson and hopefully he'll get to meet another new grandchild in January.
From the start he has accepted what the doctors have told us but he has said from the start, "Something was going to get me one day, but I'm not dead yet. So until I am, I'm going to continue to live."
I honestly think that it has been this frame of mind that has helped him get through everything. Even now he hasn't let it get him down. I know it’s a pretty cliche thing to say, but he has been inspirational. Even the doctors treating him have commented on how he has kept a positive attitude.
I wanted to share my father’s story with others to show you that even if you don't receive good news, don’t give up. Live your life for as long as you are able! You may also defy the odds like my father has!

Low-Iodine Recipe of the MonthContributed by Daria Jerauld of Iowa
Lemon Pasta with Gremolata (substitute for grated cheese)
Zest of 3 lemons, minced (wash the lemon well first; try to use organic ones)
1 cup fresh parsley, minced
1 teaspoon noniodized salt
Mix the ingredients well. Refrigerate until use.
Lemon Pasta with Gremolata
1/2 pound pasta — shape of your choice — cooked in salted and lemon-infused water (use Kosher salt)
1 Tablespoon minced rosemary
1 lemon — the juice
2 Tablespoons Gremolata
Bring your pasta water to a boil. Add a teaspoon of salt. Juice the lemon and reserve the juice. Remove any pits and toss the lemons into the water. I use the lemons that I have left over from making the Gremolata when I make this dish.
When the water is boiling, add your pasta and cook until done. Drain and return to the pot (toss out the lemons). Add the olive oil, rosemary, pepper and the lemon juice. Toss until coated. Serve up a healthy portion (half of it) and top the serving with 1 Tablespoon of Gremolata. Makes enough for 2 people as a main dish or 4 people as a side dish. Goes great with some lemon chicken and a steamed vegetable.

8,000 posts created in higher ranks for promotions in police force: JK Chief Secy
Jammu: Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam Sunday hailed the state police as one of the best forces in the country and said 8,000 posts in higher ranks have been created for promotions in the department.
Jammu and Kashmir Chief Secretary BVR Subrahmanyam said 8,000 posts in higher ranks have been created to open the avenues of promotions for police personnel.
Addressing the concluding ceremony of the 5-day police inter-zone sports meet-2018 at the Gulshan Ground here, he said the government is aware of the problems and difficulties facing the force and several welfare measures have been taken by the governor’s administration.
He said an efficient mechanism has been put in place to address their issues on priority.
“It one of the best forces in the country which is working in difficult situations to maintain law and order and ensure safety of people,” he said.
The Chief Secretary said a committee constituted to suggest measures for the welfare of police, including speedy disposal of promotion cases, seniority and creation of more posts in different cadres for career progression, was being examined for implementation.
He said 8,000 posts in higher ranks have been created to open the avenues of promotions for police personnel.
He said the government has already announced a housing scheme for the families of the police personnel and initially 10,000 units will be constructed each at Jammu and Srinagar.
The work will start soon, he said and these units will be provided to the families of the needy police personnel on reasonable and affordable prices.
The government is also considering sanctioning a substantial risk allowance for police personnel keeping in view the working conditions of the force, he added.
In his welcome address, DGP Dilbagh Singh said 930 sportspersons including 775 men and 155 women, from six zones participated in the inter-zone sports meet.
It also included 38 gazetted officers.
The games which were played at the meet included boxing, hockey, kabaddi, athletics, handball, shooting, football, basketball, weightlifting, archery, wrestling, tug of war and judo etc.
The overall men’s trophy was clinched by the Armed Zone while overall women trophy was won by the Training Zone.
Ram Raj of the Jammu Zone, who secured three gold and one silver medals, was adjudged the best athlete in the men’s section, while Seema Devi of the Armed Zone was declared the best athlete in the women’s category for securing two gold and a silver medal.

Workers May Have Just Killed Missouri’s Right to Work Law
In a badly needed victory for organized labor, a coalition of workers’ rights groups in Missouri is poised to halt a devastating new anti-union law from taking effect later this month.
The deceptively named “right-to-work” (RTW) legislation—quickly passed and signed into law this February by Missouri’s new Republican governor, Eric Greitens—would prohibit unions in private sector workplaces from automatically collecting dues from the workers they are legally required to represent. Designed to decimate unions by cutting off their financial resources, RTW laws are currently in place in 27 other states.
Though the law is set to take effect on August 28, the pro-union We Are Missouri coalition, led by the Missouri AFL-CIO, says it has collected enough signatures from voters to call for a state-wide referendum in November 2018 that could nullify the legislation. Implementation of the RTW law would be put on hold at least until next year’s referendum results are known.
We Are Missouri spokesperson Laura Swinford tells In These Times that Republican legislators had been wanting to pass a RTW law for years, but were blocked by Democratic Gov. Jay Nixon. As soon as Greitens was elected last November, she says, “folks were prepared.”
Missouri allows residents to call a referendum on new legislation by collecting signatures from at least 5 percent of voters from six of the state’s eight congressional districts. “When Gov. Greitens signed the so-called ‘right-to-work’ law, we had a petition ready to go,” Swinford explains.
We Are Missouri estimated it would need to collect at least 100,000 signatures to call a referendum on the RTW law. Swinford says volunteer canvassers went to festivals, concerts, county fairs and other events in every county to gather signatures. “Our volunteers have gone out there day after day, weekend after weekend, going signature by signature, page by page.”
So far, the coalition has tripled its initial estimation, collecting over 300,000 signatures. During a rally at the state capitol today, We Are Missouri turned in the petition along with 310,567 signatures.
“We have gotten a tremendous response,” Swinford says. “We believe we’re going to qualify in all eight congressional districts, which is pretty unprecedented here in Missouri. We have way overshot our goals.”
The National Right to Work Foundation sued to block the initiative on the grounds that the petition contained bad grammar, but the Missouri Court of Appeals threw out the lawsuit last month. Now that it appears they will not be able to prevent a referendum from appearing on next year’s ballot, Missouri RTW advocates are gearing up for a showdown in November 2018.
Over the past week, three anti-union political action committees in the state have received a total of $600,000 in dark money contributions. At least $100,000 of this money came from Gov. Greitens’s own nonprofit. Meanwhile, the Koch-funded Americans for Prosperity Foundation recently launched an expensive “education campaign”—including ads, door-to-door canvassing, and phone calls—to convince voters to approve the RTW law.
Swinford says anti-union forces are also resorting to “old-school intimidation tactics.” Last week, four men circulating pro-RTW brochures were spotted carrying pistols outside the Buchanan County courthouse in St. Joseph.
“You can open carry here in Missouri, but when you see something like that in front of your county courthouse, it’s alarming and upsetting,” says Swinford. “It’s going be a hard campaign, especially when you have to deal with those sorts of tactics. We just hope that people are safe.”
Missouri’s Republican lawmakers also recently passed legislation that will cut the St. Louis minimum wage from its current rate of $10 per hour to $7.70. The “right-to-work” law would also likely have a negative effect on worker pay, as wages are on average 3.2 percent lower in RTW states than those without RTW laws on the books.
Swinford says RTW would be “terribly hurtful to many Missouri families. It not only would lower wages across the board, it would erode benefits and make worksites less safe.”
In the past five years, more states have passed RTW legislation that at any time since the 1950s. Until recently, most RTW states were located in the former Confederacy, but now even traditional union strongholds like Michigan and Wisconsin are “right-to-work.”
Anti-union forces are not resting on their laurels. Earlier this year, House Republicans introduced a national RTW law, and the Supreme Court could soon hear a case that threatens to impose RTW on the entire public sector.
But anti-union legislation has been defeated before. In 2011, labor groups in Ohio called a referendum that successfully overturned the controversial Senate Bill 5, which would have severely curtailed public sector workers’ collective bargaining rights.
“What happened in Ohio shows that it’s possible to really educate folks and show them there’s a way to stand up when your legislature overreaches,” Swinford says.
“Missouri is not the only state that has a problem with extremists running amok in the legislature,” she continues. “We have the ability here through the referendum process to call them out on this behavior, to stand up and say, ‘Enough. We want you to work on the real problems we have in our state.’”
Swinford notes that she and other organizers have been amazed at how the referendum campaign has unified people of different backgrounds and communities. “People have really joined together on this. We have a lot of confidence in Missouri voters that they’ll be there in November 2018.”

Baltimore Surveillance Program Raises Trust Issues
August 28, 2016 /0 Comments/in Security /by Joe Levin
Small planes outfitted with video cameras have been flying over Baltimore since January, capturing activity on the streets below and relaying the footage to police to help them catch criminals.
The public knew nothing about it until this week — when Bloomberg Businessweek ran a cover story about the trial program.
The revelations triggered outrage from elected officials, defense lawyers and the American Civil Liberties Union, who said the program raised privacy concerns and could aggravate public distrust in a city that exploded in riots last year after the death of a man in police custody.
“Widespread surveillance violates every citizens’ right to privacy; the lack of disclosure about this practice and the video that has been captured further violates the rights of our clients who may have evidence supporting their innocence that is kept secret,” Paul DeWolfe, the Public Defender for Maryland said in a statement earlier this week.
The response put Baltimore, where tensions between law enforcement and minority neighborhoods run high, on the edge of the debate about police use of rapidly evolving technology.
It also raises questions about whether enhanced surveillance techniques are worth the cost in public perception.
Or, as Ronal Serpas, a former police chief in Nashville and New Orleans puts it: “Is the juice worth the squeeze?”
After Baltimore’s homicide rate spiked last year, residents demanded the police do more and be creative, T.J. Smith, a Baltimore police department spokesman told NBC News.
So law enforcement began a trial run of an aerial surveillance program which, officials now say, was funded by anonymous donors through a private philanthropic foundation.
The money went to Persistent Surveillance Systems, which equips Cessna airplanes with video cameras and sends the real-time footage to an office, where analysts work with police to track movements of cars and people before and after crimes. The company has done work elsewhere in the United States, but it has run into resistance from the public in Los Angeles and Dayton, Ohio.
The images are not sharp enough to make out details, but they have been used to link with street-level surveillance cameras to identify suspects, Baltimore officials say.
“The airplane is generally worthless without the ability to work with cameras on the ground,” Smith said.
Those street level cameras include over 700 put on poles through Baltimore’s CityWatch program, as well as 250 at local businesses, Smith said.
Smith cited three shootings — two fatal — in which the aerial surveillance has helped provide key leads. The trial is nearly over, Smith said; it will be used to investigate street crime and in the Baltimore Marathon in October.
“The only people that should be nervous and fearful are the criminals,” Smith said.
Serpas said when he served as police chief in Nashville and New Orleans he passed on offers of aerial surveillance programs.
“There were vendors when we were hosting the Super Bowl in 2013 who pitched this. We said we didn’t want it. It was something we felt wasn’t consistent with what the people wanted.”
Instead, Serpas said, New Orleans police adopted a program used in Philadelphia that enlisted homeowners and business owners to tell police if they had surveillance cameras of their own, and offer to share the footage if it was needed to solve a crime.
“It gave businesses and residents a sense that they had ownership in the fight on crime,” Serpas said.
Other cities have offered to install cameras outside homes and businesses.
That kind of buy-in, policing experts say, is key to improving trust with the public, an effort that has taken on new urgency as the country has been riven by police shootings of civilians and fatal attacks on police.
Baltimore is a centerpiece in that struggle — a city of chronic violence and poverty where enforcement-heavy police policies have sown discontent in the most troubled neighborhoods.
Baltimore also has run into legal trouble for the use of technology that mimics a cell tower to pinpoint a phone user’s location — a state judge in April ruled it was unconstitutional. This month, the U.S. Justice Department released a report that detailed systemic civil rights abuses by the police department.
Smith said the agency was sensitive to those issues, and to how the new surveillance could be perceived. He said the department was “committed to being transparent.”
He acknowledged that police officials did not discuss whether to inform the public before the program began in January.
Before telling the public, the department wanted to wait and see if the program — which remains on a trial run — produced promising results while keeping criminals unaware, Smith said.
“We can’t publicly reveal every tool used to stop these trigger-pullers,” he said.
Serpas, who is now a professor of criminology at Loyola University in New Orleans, said such debates are going to continue to rage as technology advances.
“It’s fair to say that police departments are having to think about the delicate balance of policing a free society as technology bumps up against that in ways we haven’t experienced before,” he said. “Police have to catch up, and the public can never be left behind.”

Could these Genetically Modified Fish Make Food Safer For Everybody?
As a journalist that specializes in startups and entrepreneurship, I am often subjected to metric tons of hot air and bluster from founders who think that their idea is going to change the world.
It is always the same drivel, with words like disruptive, revolutionary, organic growth and the like thrown around like confetti in a parade.
Once in a while though, a startup comes around that energizes these old, cynical bones with a great idea that legitimately can make the world a better place.
One such startup is Hong Kong-based biotech company, Vitargent.
The brainchild of 28-year old Forbes 30 under 30 Asia nominee Eric Chen, Vitargent is set to shake up the world of food safety.
Chen, an ex-China national Baseball player, grew up during the Middle Kingdom’s rise and saw first-hand the effects of food safety scandals like the melamine incident that saw tons of milk powder become tainted with melamine.
The memories of that scandal persists till this day with many in China still importing milk powder from all over the world.
“How could a country like China have problems like this?” Chen says.
Instead of resting on his laurels, Chen roped in two schoolmates to figure out a way to solve the problem.
As luck would have it, a solution was close at hand.
In 2001, professors at the Chinese National State Key Lab figured out a way to use fish embryos to potentially check for toxic substances.
“At first the professors would not even talk to us. They ignored us,” Chen said.
Chen and his team persisted and eventually the professors relented when Chen promised to use the research to “gain glory” for the institution at various competitions.
After going on to win several of these competition Chen and his team had reached a point where they were either going to pursue this full time or move on to other things.
Chen’s other 2 co-founders threw in the towel for jobs in finance but Chen decided to soldier on.
“What we were doing was important,” he says.
In 2010, Chen registered Vitargent in Hong Kong and his journey as a founder began.
“I did not have much then, just the technology and a dream. I went to hundreds of investors but no one wanted to believe in us,” Chen reveals.
“They saw me as a fresh grad and the technology as something untested. Plus, biotech companies have slow rates of return. They wanted a Silicon Valley style company with Silicon Valley Business models. I just wanted to solve a problem that I saw around me” he adds.
Just when all hope seemed lost, a judge from a competition Vitargent competed in offered to come on-board as the first angel investor. From there word of the company spread and they very soon raised a respectable $1.3 million seed round.
Fast forward to today and the company has grown from strength to strength.
At Vitargent’s core is that same fish-embryo technology, only refined.
The fish embryo, an embryo of a modified Zebra fish that Chen calls a “Transgenic” species, has been designed to glow when in contact with certain toxic substances.
These tests cover 5 broad industries: dairy, edible oils, cosmetics, meat and water.
Vitargent’s clients send over samples at various stages in the production process and Vitargent tests them, for a cost.
According to Chen, the benefits of Vitargent’s system is two-fold. The first is that while regular lab testing can only detect up to 10 toxins a test, Vitargent’s miracle fish can test up to 1000 toxins at a time.
This is, according to Chen, because Zebra fish share 70 percent of their DNA with humans while the transgenic version of the fish can share up to 80 percent.
The second major benefit is cost saving. The fish embryo are relatively inexpensive and with a single test being able to detect over a 1000 toxins, the number of tests needed goes down significantly.
According to Chen, the company also holds the patents for the use of this technology in the consumer space making them uniquely positioned take advantage of the multi-billion dollar food testing market.
Right now, the company claims to have some of the leading consumer products companies in Hong Kong as clients and are looking to set up operations in Taiwan, Beijing and Europe in order to bring this technology to markets around the world.

volitar actor -tim hulse
"from chaos to colorado to volitar"
tim hulse performed the character voice of harold athey, director of plant operations, in the volitar: murder mystery mayhem cd. being the owner of his own business, (sri) southeast remodel inc., he brings a real world business experience to his role combined with a light heartedness from his personality. i could write a detailed account of the volitar recording experience with tim, who was accompanied in the studio by his daughter aubrey but, instead want to focus on the early rock & roll years we shared together.
(andy, tim, dave and tracy at jody's house party.)
my friendship and musical relationship with tim hulse goes back far beyond the conception of volitar in 1998. originally, we met and began performing in a juneau, alaska based cover band named "chaos" in 1985. often we played house parties and small concerts dressed in the typical attire for candy rockers in the mid 1980's; we were serious glamour boys back then! we wore all of the fun garb from bandanas and leopard skin stretch pants to eye liner and lip gloss. often tim's girlfriend (future wife) carrie would help apply the make-up at shows; it was all about having fun.
the idea of having fun would not be complete without mentioning our friend and band photographer, craig hogan who supplied many of the bands moments of glamdom on film. dave crabtree, chaos guitarist, used to keep in his possession the latest copy of the rock magazine circus so our stage garb would never be out of date. at one time i remember having worn 21 articles of clothing!!!
along with the sugar coated rock originals written and composed by dave, tim sang the latest top 40 hits from the likes of motley crue, don dokken, april wine and ratt. the cover song that i believe best represents tim's melodic strength and vocal style was april wine's "just between you and me" which we performed frequently. tim's seductive vocal style often helped smooth the rough edges of chaos's raw sound.
in addition to the role of lead vocalist, tim played rhythm and lead guitar for the band, i believe the "tube screamer" was his favorite guitar effects box. like his vocal style, tim's guitar work complimented dave's distorted monster crunch tone with a rounder, smoother quality.
after 8 months of giging and winning the respect and admiration of our peers the bands high life began to unravel. internal band problems eventually lead to the ousting of chaos bassist tracy mcpherson which quickly lead to the bands temporary demise. in the summer of 1988, we brought the whole band back from the grave to rock the long-a-waited "chaos reunion bash" in juneau.
after a couple days of rehearsal and a successful show the group decided to reform. this was a serious commitment because it meant that dave, tim, carrie and tracy would have to pack up their lives and move to fort collins, colorado where i would be attending college at colorado state university. all but one made the 2000+ mile journey including new live sound engineer larry athey. this time tracy went completely mia. several months had past before we had word that he was living in las vegas and would not be joining us.
(tim, tracy and dave - sound check at jody's)
because of the incompletion of our band we focused our efforts on recording dave's originals instead of playing live. a campus sponsored battle of the bands was the only show we performed. we had a strong showing of 2nd place, not bad considering chaos had to win the applause where the other bands brought it with local fans. during the fall of 1988, tim, dave and i recorded an untitled 4 song demo at eye in the sky studios, owned by randy miotke of laporte, colorado. dave and tim split the guitar solos 50/50, dave on 2 and tim on 2. i laid down the drum tracks, keyboard bass lines and synthesizer parts. dave nailed down, what i like to refer to as, "springy" crunch rhythm guitar tracks. while the group being fairly inexperienced in the music studio world, tim did an excellent job singing both the lead and harmony vocals.
(andy, dave and tim at an abandoned train graveyard in fort collins, colorado - 1988.) during our stay in colorado carrie worked at a camera shop where she met local photographer carol housley. on a sunny saturday in november we posed, with carol behind the camera's eye, for several shots we hoped would make a suitable album cover. as you can tell in the photograph dave and tim still kept the latest edition of circus in their pocket, they were hip to the current look, while i was still wearing spandex!
sadly, the chaos days were ending, everybody packed up and went their separate way... until now. today, 14 years later, we are planning to release chaos's 4 song cd for the first time along with a coffee table style picture book of the band and a band t-shirt. we need your support!!! to make this dream a reality we are asking for a $30 donation to help offset the costs of creating this memorabilia. with your $30 donation you will receive the cd, picture book and t-shirt upon completion. we plan to release this collection in early february of 2003. at that time we'll schedule a release party in juneau, alaska for all to attend.
we are also very interested in your chaos memories! we are taking submissions of stories, photos and any bootleg audio or video you would like to contribute for publication. please limit your stories to 500 words. there is a december 1, 2002 deadline for entries so, start your pencils writting now! all items will become the property of chaos and will not be used in any other release other than this special chaos set described. we will return all pictures and audio/videos bootlegs you contribute. you are encouraged to send a rock'n picture of yourself to accompany your story. the picture must be from the mid to late 1980's. please consider, when writting a chaos story, to not slander the reputations of people you choose to include in your story - we are all respectable citizens now. (ha! ha!)

"budweiser kings and spandex fiends"
(the budweiser king -dave crabtree. parents don't let your kids see this!)
here's a little bitty 'bout a friend of mine that i had the privilege of knowing and playing music with during the most influential years of my life. i figure that it would interest you 'cause you were part of those years as well.
i met tim while learning how to play guitar and writing music with someone we'll call pretty boy floyd who could sing and play a mean splish splash and act like he was taking a bath but, that's another story.
anyway, this guy came into the jam room, and i mean room 'cause it was a bedroom converted into a jam room by force. he was introduced to us by a short wiry character that had a bass but his parents wouldn't allow him to play it. that too is another story. so this tall blonde haired dude walked in with confidence and a fender in his hand, which was all it took for us to say, "hey, wanna join our band?" (andy engstrom - spandex fiend!)
"what is the name of the band?" he asked.
"we don't know yet but we'll find one."
"what kind of music do you play?"
" i don't know, what do you play?"
we were off to a great start. we sat down and played ten different versions of tom sawyer for the next couple of weeks until this blonde haired dude says, "hey, i know a couple of songs by this band called april wine, wanna try 'em out?"
me and pretty boy floyd say, "why not."
then it all took off from there, two april wine songs, a couple of honey moon suite tunes, sammy hagar, bad company, dokken, motley crue, and on and on, it just got contagious. people started showing up to rehearsals, mostly guys. after awhile whole lots of young female types showed up, which was very good for inspiration, but bad for concentration. finally we got a bass player and our first gig arrived within weeks. just to back up a bit i have to say the force behind learning all these songs was that this blonde haired dude could sing, and i mean really sing. it was in him, part of him, it just flowed out so effortlessly.
our first gig was great, and we came up with a name for the band while driving erratically through a vacant lot where taco bell currently sits. chaos became the word for all to live by. we played some great parties and some not so great. nothing like playing rock-n-roll in the rain with lots of crazy drunk people and electricity literally at your finger tips. we were rock stars without a record deal but that was ok! we lived it by dressing and playing the part. we were gonna be on the cover of magazines eventually, (so we told each other.) we were the budweiser kings and spandex fiends. although i have to admit the blonde haired dude was too smart to wear spandex, but he did wear a mean bandanna, and moccasins.
we played cover tunes, wrote a couple of songs, and played in the first rock concert at centennial hall called rock fest '85 along with local bands hero and chrome forest. eventually we went our separate ways. yea, we played that song too. i went north and pretty boy floyd went south while the blonde haired dude stayed in juneau. after being apart for a few years, we missed each other and planned a reunion gig back in juneau. it went over great and we even made enough money to pay for part of our travel and the rental of the hall. we got drunk the next day at bullwinkles and talked about moving to colorado to keep playing and maybe find our spot in rock-n-roll history.
(carrie, tim, dave and andy in colorado.)
one month later we were all in colorado renting this big house on 65 acres. at first we started with some cover tunes, then the guys heard some of the stuff i was writing and we changed directions. cover tunes were for warming up then we would tackle the originals. they were sounding great, better than great. i was so excited my face would hurt from smiling for so long during rehearsals. this blonde haired dude added so much to the music i was writing that i couldn't stop, i had to keep writing out of shear force of inspiration from my musical buddies.
pretty boy floyd and i would work out the rhythm parts and dynamics of the songs while the blonde haired dude would work his magic on the vocal parts. eventually we went into a studio and recorded four of the songs we had been working on. i only had eight hundred bucks so that meant a two hundred dollar budget per song. we figured out that we would record one guitar and drum track live as a scratch track then play over the top of that erasing the scratch track for additional room. we had sixteen channels to work with, four hours a day for four days, then we were broke finished or not. unbelievably we were able to complete a song a day with little room to tear down for the next band coming in to record. i remember so clearly when the blonde haired dude was singing when we make love the sound engineer remarked, "wow! that guy just sang a perfect chord." he was right, we all were in awe by his power and range during the whole recording process. nothing's ever said was another example of his beautiful voice and power. he added originality as well as his own flavor to the song. i can still listen to the last verse of that song over and over. needless to say pretty boy floyd, the blonde haired dude and i became chaos, and then the lost boyz and eventually just some guys from juneau, alaska, making our own way in life. the rest is just history.
sincerely: dave crabtree
blonde haired dude: aka tim hulse
pretty boy floyd: aka andy engstrom

What Is Valacyclovir Hydrochloride?
Valacyclovir hydrochloride is often used to treat chickenpox.
Cold sores can be treated with valacyclovir hydrochloride.
Written By: B. Chisholm
Valacyclovir hydrochloride is an antiviral drug used to treat cold sores, genital herpes, chicken pox and shingles. It is used orally and the dose and duration used depends on which indication it is being used for. In most countries it is available by prescription only and may be known by different trade names, according to manufacturer.
The way in which valacyclovir hydrochloride works is by blocking a viral enzyme called DNA polymerase, which is essential for viral DNA replication. Valacyclovir hydrochloride is actually a prodrug of aciclovir. This means that, when it enters the body it is broken down into the active substance, aciclovir. Its advantage is that it can be taken two to three times a day, whereas aciclovir must be taken up to five times a day, making adherence more difficult.
Herpes Simplex infections, which include cold sores and genital herpes, are incurable, but may go through periods of remission. Valacyclovir hydrochloride is used in both the treatment of acute cases and for chronic suppression in people who have recurrent episodes. It is usually only given long-term to people who have more than six episodes of herpes or more in a period of a year and chronic treatment should be reassessed every six to twelve months. The dose for treatment of an acute episode is usually higher and is for a short period, usually up to 10 days.
Chickenpox is a common childhood disease and is usually caused by Varicella zoster. Shingles is more common in adults, can be extremely painful, and is caused by the virus Herpes zoster. Valacyclovir hydrochloride is active against both of these viruses but treatment needs to be started early to see results. It should be started within 24 hours of the appearance of the rash and is usually given three times daily for five days with chickenpox and seven days with shingles. The pediatric dose is determined by weight and the prescribed dose and duration of treatment should be followed precisely.
As with any medication, valacyclovir hydrochloride may interact with other drugs so these, including over-the-counter, homeopathic and natural medicines, should be discussed with the prescribing doctor. Pregnancy, desired pregnancy and lactation should also be disclosed. Adverse effects may also occur during treatment with valacyclovir hydrochloride. The most commonly seen adverse effects include headache, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and dizziness. Should any of these be severe, medical attention should be sought immediately.

MEDAN THE GATEWAY TO NORTH SUMATRA
Sumatra,
The booming city of Medan, capital of North Sumatra, is an economic hub and commercial centre for the region. This is the largest city in Sumatra Island, whose long been attracting residents from all over Indonesia to come and stay here.
Tjong A Fie Mansion
Due to these ethnic diversities, Medan are known for scrumptious delectable culinary spots, rich with many flavours. Bolu Meranti is a kind of rolled sponged cake with various butter cream choices that has become one of the famous snacks in town along with Bika Ambon Zulayka. Medan is also one busy metropolis, so you’ll need to be patient with some traffic jams. Noisy minibuses and becak compete with taxis and motorbikes for space and action through the crowds and heat.
Lontong Sayur Medan
Visit the Maimoon Palace to witness a glimpse of the royal heritage. Retreat to the soothing ambiance of the highlands to visit Lake Toba and the Samosir Island. Berastagi, famous for abundant fruits and flowers, is also the place to visit near Medan. Taste the Durian fruit or cake and the sweet passionfruit known as Markisa, that also comes in syrup bottles to mix as beverages. Visit the local market and splurge on many kinds of fresh picked local products. Find your way to amazing waterfalls and hot water springs to unwind.
Asahan River
The city of Medan will welcome you who travel by air at the Kualanamu International Airport (KNO). Located in the Deli Serdang Regency, about 2 hours drive from Medan. The new Airport was opened in 2013 to replace the 85 years old Polonia Airport, that was getting too close to the city.
You can also get to Medan by sea from Penang (Malaysia). Passenger ships also operate between Medan and Jakarta.
In Medan you can choose public bus, taxi or becak to get around. The local minibuses or Sudako are basic and cheap. Only use these if you have a bit of Bahasa Indonesian up your sleeve so you wont miss your destination stop.
The noisy becak is a tiny two stroke engine vehicle which is a cheap, though often nerve wrecking way to get around. Agreed on a price with the driver before you get in.
Taxi’s are a cheap and convenient way to get around. Make sure you use a metered cab or if not, make agreement on your destination and price before getting in.

Rafting its maybe one of my favorite activities during trips to such countries, especially I like to raft near the mountains in Chiang Mai, where every year me and my frieds take a rest from our concrete jungles, rent bikes and drive bikes right to the mountains and rivers. With years of our travels we determined that its better to rent bikes only at chiang mai motorcycle rental https://catmotors.net/chiang-mai-bangkok-better-train-bus-flight-car/ cause their bikes always reliable and has nice condition, no matter what the name of the bike or what year it was made.

[NLL MASH-UP] WEEK 12!
NLL MASH UP WEEK 12
It was a light schedule this past week with only three games - But as usual, there were plenty of surprises and great performances ...
ROCHESTER 17 BUFFALO 10
It was alumni night in BANDITLAND, and the current BANDITS didn’t start on time and were blown-out by the KNIGHTHAWKS. Was BUFFALO was reading too many press clippings after their resurgence to first place coming off a bye week?
The game started out very slowly before the KNIGHTHAWKS scored three times to end the period. The lead would increase to 7-0 before BUFFALO finally broke the ice.
The KNIGHTHAWKS held an 11 - 4 halftime lead, and the BANDITS were never in it. They do remain in 1st place with a 6 - 4 record.
With the win, ROCHESTER takes the season series versus BUFFALO 2 - 1. In recent weeks we have touched on ROCHESTER’S poor record versus the East and the troubles they may have in tiebreakers. This could prove to be a big win down the line.
JOE RESATARITS had a career night with (3g, 11a). He's making a strong case as the top AMERICAN in the NLL.
CODY JAMIESON continued his hot streak with (2g, 7a). KYLE JACKSON also with a career night tallying (5g, 4a) on the left side.
One thing that really stands out for me is the physical play of their defense. The likes of PAUL DAWSON, BILLY DEE SMITH and IAN LLORD may not put up many stats -- after seeing them up close and online they are one of the tougher groups to play against.
SASKATCHEWAN 10 CALGARY 6
This was a hard fought game with a playoff atmosphere. SASK never trailed in the game and tallied four power play goals. MARK MATTHEWS led the balanced attack with (3g, 4a).
CALGARY showed they can compete with the RUSH, they just need to keep out of the penalty box. The RUSH punished the ROUGHNECKS 5 power play goals.
ZACH CURRIER was once again all over the place for CALGARY picking up 16 loose balls.
NEW ENGLAND 12 VANCOUVER 11 OT
In the late game things weren’t looking that great for the BLACKWOLVES as they trailed
4 - 0 midway thru the second quarter. But, they chipped away during the course of the game and avoided a 4th consecutive loss. In fact, the only time they led was in OT!
One encouraging thing for BLACKWOLVES was that they won despite producing only one goal out of their dynamic duo KEVIN CROWLEY (1g, 2a) & SHAWN EVANS (3a). When this is the case, it is more than likely that they'll come up on the losing end.
STEPHAN LEBLANC played his best game as a BLACKWOLF going off for (4g, 1a). We talked about the lack of lefty punch in their lineup since the preseason. GM RICH LISK went out and acquired LEBLANC a few weeks back which has paid dividends. To me, he is clearly their best lefty.
Even with the LEBLANC acquisition they have still struggled from the left side as a whole. So LISK went ahead and plucked JOHNNY POWLESS from GEORGIA last week. He had been struggling this season only putting up (3g, 11a) in seven games with the SWARM. In fact, he had been a healthy scratch in recent weeks.
However, in his BLACKWOLF debut he added (2g, 1a). If he can work well with LEBLANC that may a key acquisition down the stretch. Despite being in his 8th season POWLESS is still only 25 years of age.
Seeing him up close this season with the SWARM he looked a bit out of shape. If he can get his fitness level up, the BLACKWOLVES may have gotten a steal. One thing that can’t be questioned is his skill level.
The play of COLTON WATKINSON has to be mentioned as well. Earlier in the season the BLACKWOLVES were a menace in transition. Over the previous two games, not one goal came from their D/T crew.
That changed in VANCOUVER as WATKINSON (2g, 7lb) came up huge. In my opinion that the best game the rookie has played.
DANGEROUS DAN TO SASK
Over the last couple of weeks ROCHESTER has gone to a youth movement which has seen DAN DAWSON as a healthy scratch. CURTIS KNIGHT was placed on the IR in SASK. So…. The RUSH make the call and acquire the veteran for the playoff run for a couple of draft picks. Although past his prime, DAWSON still will have plenty to offer to the SASK right side. Despite being scratched the last couple games DAWSON does have decent numbers in 2018 with (9g, 17a) in eight games.
An interesting tid-bit to come out of the trade is SASK will be the 7th team he has suited up for. Of the previous six teams only ROCHESTER still exists. He has had stints with (COLUMBUS LANDSHARKS, ARIZONA STING, PORTLAND LUMBERJAX, BOSTON BLAZERS & the old PHILLY WINGS). He is sitting on 1297 points in his career.
We went 2 - 1 in our picks last week, only BUFFALO let us down. For that season we stand at 27 - 16, 63%.
This week GEORGIA & COLORADO both have back to backs. NEW ENGLAND & ROCHESTER have byes. Here is how we see things unfolding this week.
GEORGIA OVER COLORADO, LYLE THOMPSON is set for a breakout game.
GEORGIA OVER TORONTO, The ROCK will struggle with out SCHRIEBER.
SASK OVER VANCOUVER, enough said ...
BUFFALO OVER COLORADO, I see BUFFALO getting back on track on the road.
Apologies to RYAN BENESCH, we gave him kudos for 200 career assists last week. Well that was a typo, he actually has 500!
SASK has a 75% power play percentage….WOW. ROCHESTER is next with 55%.

Unedited Waiting for Cousteau
Posted: Fri Jul 29, 2011 7:38 pm Unedited Waiting for Cousteau
I absolutely love this track. What a divine melody... but It's only 45 minutes
So It occured to me -what if there's a longer one? Here's what the wikipedia page of the album says:
Jarre utilised the unedited version as an ambient audience "warm-up" in the hours prior to the Paris la Defense concert in 1990 (and also in many concerts after this "first"), played on the specially installed public address sound system scattered throughout Paris for this event.
Hours? Does that mean there's a "raw" un-released version that runs for hours ? I'd love to hear it
So far I thought the longest one was at Concert D'images and lasted 60 minutes. This file Download was in the database and even though it's labeled "concertd'images", I'm not sure if it is indeed what it says it is. I checked the recording and apparently someone had just copied the last 15 minutes to extend it. (Notice how some of the fans just love doing stuff like that... making fake lossless or fake-versions.) So, unless it was indeed played that way at the exhibition, which I doubt, then we still haven't really heard the 60 minute version.
Meanwhile I came across another interesting recording. A 50 minute version which sounds a bit different from the original and ends kinda abruptly (Could it be a part of the unedited variation?). The file is named - "En Attendant Cousteau (Concert Pour La Tolerance)". Here's the link if you want to check it out - 50minute_tolerance
So I assume it was played before the Tolerance concert. The sound quality is strange though, It's like somebody put a a mic very close to one of the speakers yet there's absolutely no crowd or any other 'outdoor'noises. Wonder who recorded it.
So , can anyone shed some light on this and has anybody ever heard a version longer than 45-50 minutes?
During the Concert of Monaco, this year, I listen another version, maybe 30 ou 45 min. With diferent mix with another Jarre's tracks.
Did someone record this ?

That's absolutely true. I was there. Thankfully, someone did have a copy; don't know if they ever got it back though.

But where's the fun in that..
I tried to compare the original to the 50 min version. They are different. I may be wrong but the latter one sounds like the same fragment is repeated throughout the track. There's no ending nor beginning. I think I can also hear one new sound effect a few times, or it could be just an illusion because the recording is so overmodulated. It might as well be a real concertd'images version or just another joke from some fan.
It's fractal music so theoretically it should last forever without ever repeating.
Just need the algorithm to generate the MIDI data and leave it running.
thought that this was some friking joke!!

At Electronic Night in 1998, it was obviously the CD bring played before the concert as to begin with Calypso was accidentally played before jumping to the start of Calypso 2. Then someone must have told the CD player operator that WFC is track 4!

Wel, I could easyly make a version lasting 3 hours, by repeating and fading thing's together.
Actually there is a cut someplace in the song.
I think the song sound cool, but I am a bit dissapointed that he didn't found place for some more exiting bits in it.

SLOVENIA EXPECTATIONS
JACK ROZIER - Wednesday, June 16, 2010
If you are a patron of the First Church of the Jubilani, feel free to take advantage of this opportunity to exit the article.
When the race to avoid Germany resumes Friday, there will be little need for Rosaries, Hoodoo, or even speculative strikes from distance. Indeed, there are specific tactics the US will employ that can all but guarantee we take poll position in Group C.
Allow me to clarify, my use of "US" and "tactics" in the same sentence was not hyperbole. I'm as serious as Fabio Capello, James Milner and Wayne Rooney's torment after a June evening in Rustenburg.
Media tedium surrounding the Jubilani match ball has largely diverted attention from the tactical clinic the US displayed for eighty minutes.
You have just entered my selective reality.
However, the US can rest assured that the lesson won't be lost on Slovenia coach Matjaz Kek.
Although they will arrive for the game in Johannesburg as the leaders of Group C, the Slovenes will happily consider themselves the underdogs – a psychology that proved fruitful during their qualification for the tournament.
Expect a [gulp] "conservative approach" from the Slovenes.
While normally effective on the counter attack, Kek will know that the US shares this strength. The Slovenes won't be parking the bus, but the priority will surely be to keep their backline organized and compact.
Bradley couldn't ask for better circumstances to be favored. Although pressure will mount if the US is behind or tied after an hour, the battle to dictate play shouldn't be much of a struggle.
It will be strength against strength as Bradley will attempt to imitate Algerian Nadir Belhadj's success against Slovenia, by unleashing the evergreen Steve Cherundolo on the wing.
Slovenia's defense, led by goalkeeper Samir Handanovic has proven to be a tough nut to crack. However, Handanovic's confidence will be his undoing. A healthy mixture of crosses from Cherundolo and shots from range will give Jozy Altidore room to breathe in the box, making for a precarious evening in which Handanovic can commit no errors.
Kek will need drastically improved performances from his midfielders in order to abate the proliferation of chances in the Slovenian defensive third.
All for naught.
Bradley will have surely divorced himself from Ricardo Clark due in part to his dismal string of performances, but also because the US needs to be able to threaten from all points in order to dislodge the Slovenes.
Bradley won't underestimate Slovene captain Robert Koren's presence in the middle, but will feel confident in commanding the midfield after Slovenia's poor technical display against Algeria.
Jose Torres is the natural choice to partner Michael Bradley defensively and provide rhythm in attack. Bob had this scenario in mind when Bradley and Torres featured so prominently against Turkey.
Bob is smart.
Having displayed an ability to settle possession and penetrate the opposition, Torres' greatest asset in this situation is his ability to read play. The Slovenes will be selective when they try to break vertically, bypassing their midfield. Torres will be one step ahead, positioned to intercept the threat or force play wide.
Up top Robbie Findley's speed will be less useful against a reserved defense. Look for Edson Buddle to start with Altidore as the pair fights for space inside the Slovene eighteen yard box. If the Slovene defenders manage to subdue Altidore and Buddle, Findley will be a significant threat in the last thirty minutes.
In defense, there isn't much tinkering to do.
Chances were few and far between for Slovenia's Milivoje Novakovic and Zlatko Dedic against Algeria. Bradley will instruct Jay DeMerit and Oguchi Onyewu to replicate Madjid Bougherra's efficiency in negating the Slovenes ability to isolate and turn towards goal.
That should do nicely.
Three points for the US and the group is deadlocked at four points putting the US in the driver's seat against Algeria while Slovenia and England fight over the scraps.
But wait…
There is the outside chance that manic-Bob shows up, some people call this, "reality." I try to avoid this place at all costs, but when I'm present I see that there are causes for concern.
It's unlikely that Tim Howard will be peppered with the same gusto as he was against England, but the Slovenes are good for a handful of quality opportunities that will forced a doped up Howard into the spotlight.
There is also the possibility that if the wrong Bob shows up, we may not see Torres feature at all or too late to make an impact. Although this is the perfect moment for Torres to emerge, Bradley's persistence in selecting Clark is alarming.
It doesn't seem possible that Bradley could disregard Benny Feilhaber's poor performance against Turkey. It doesn't seem possible that Bradley could forget Feilhaber's ineffectiveness against Brazil a year ago.
Have I sufficiently set up my cliché? Good, then I'll spare us.
A less depressing alternative would be the selection of Maurice Edu. But we don't need two defensively capable midfielders that like to streak forward and score ugly goals.
Torres or bust!
Bradley's last potential blunder would be to take his foot off the gas pedal. It's quite possible that Slovenia's organization and grit will get them into the 55th minute without conceding. If this is the case, Bradley needs to have his substitution on the field between the 60th and 65th minute so they can settle into the game before it's too late.
The lone exception being prodigious goal-poach, Herculez Gomez. Throw him on in the last thirty seconds of stoppage time and he's good for at least one goal.
Ah, there I go again with that selective reality!
But what kind of masochist anticipates an event for four years only to wallow in logic?
Many positives to be had

Solid write-up. I think Bob shocks us all and goes with Torres. As stubborn as his tactics appear, he isn't stupid, and I think Torres has shown enough skill to enable Bob to be comfortable with his selection. However, bringing Torres on in the 60th may also be the approach (and not at all shocking should it transpire), while sticking with the Clark / Bradley pairing to, basically, rope-a-dope with Slovenia for the first hour...though, I would hope that is not the case.

Top shelf, Mr. Rozier, top shelf. Torres or bust is our war-cry; salient and desparate. Although i concede more confidence in mr. feilhaber, despite his spotty performance--and downright scary cross to a TURK. And i'm also intrigued by the potential of a gomez off the bench. But all in all, you ideas are drum-tight and your prose, crisp.

Still believe that this is a team that doesn't need Micheal Bradley to start every single game. Think Torres is a good player ,but are best CAM is Holden, though for this game it maybe best to put him on the right flank since slovenia is a team that might very well dig in against us defensively and what seems to be an actual weakness for such great teams like spain, may be our team's ability in the air to score on teams that dig in like they do against so often in the CONCACAF competitions . Edu should be in place of Clark this game and to provide us with a better touch in the midfield alongside Torres with Holden on the wing. I don't believe it is possible for us to have Dempsey however on the left flank if his support is Bocanegra and Bradley. I expect to see at least Torres in the mid field and Dempsey up top with Altidore and Holden on the RW to provide adequate crossing inside the opponents box. Also believe a fully fit CB like Goodson provides the backline with more pace against Slovenia's counter-attacks and more technical ability than either Gooch or Boca possess.
Wednesday June 16, 2010 11:04 pm
Wow. New guy, I agree with you, both counts. Surprised, because some truly think Clark has a job in this game, and are certain that Findley does.
I agree wholeheartedly. Drop Findley for Buddle and Clark for Torres and the lineup is set to penetrate the Slovenian's stingy defense. If we still are in need of goal at the hour mark, Gomez would be a perfect sub with his form and nose for goal. Let's just hope Bradley sees the same thing.

Friday Feature: Author Interview with Kristen Zimmer
As those of you who follow me on Twitter know, I absolutely loved Kristen Zimmer's wonderful NA romance, The Gravity Between Us. This story of two childhood friends, one now a Hollywood star, finding out they had deeper feelings for each other than just friendship, is one of the best LGBT books I've ever read. The chance to interview her was awesome!
1. When you close your eyes and imagine your readers, who do you see?
Honestly? A teenage version of me. That was a tough time in my life, and I looked toward books to help me through it. But being a bit different from my peers sometimes made it difficult to find characters I could identify with, so I set out to write a novel that my teenage self would have really wanted to read. I think 17 year old Kristen would’ve enjoyed Gravity.
2. I love books with dual narratives, so The Gravity Between Us immediately sucked me in with Payton and Kendall’s wonderful voices. Did you ever consider writing it from one point of view, or did you always plan to use both as narrators?
From its inception, I knew this novel was going to switch perspectives between the two protagonists. It was important to me to illustrate that even though you’ve been close with someone for years and feel like you know that person as well as you know yourself, they inevitably have secrets – things that they’re afraid to share. Both Kendall and Payton have big, complex personalities, and when they each begin to realize that their feelings for the other are changing, it’s a very personal experience. Essentially, it’s two sides of the same story.
3. On that subject, which of the two narrators do you think is more like you, and was one easier to write for than the other?
Payton is without a doubt more like me. She’s a musician, an athlete, ambitious, but constantly questioning the decisions she makes… Yeah, I definitely put a lot of myself into Payton. That being said, Kendall was actually the easier of the two to write. I think maybe that’s because she is quite different from me, so I basically got to create her completely from scratch. I tried to stay away from drawing on personal experience while shaping her, and that was fun.
4. I hadn’t actually heard of Bookouture before reading The Gravity Between Us, although I’m keen to read more of their books now! What made you decide to go with a relatively new publisher?
I really liked their business model, their marketing strategy: the plans they had laid out for me as an author were very cohesive to the plans I had for myself. Plus, I’d worked as an editor for a startup publishing company in the past, and I know new companies are willing to take risks with the books they acquire because they want to stand out and build a reputation for themselves. Frankly, I’d make the same decision again. I only have great things to say about Oliver Rhodes. He was so supportive of every creative decision I made, threw out ideas when I was stuck, talked me out of the panic I think all debut authors have when it comes to rewrites, and paired me with brilliantly insightful editors. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.
5. I somehow forgot to mention this in my review, but one of the reasons I first picked up The Gravity Between Us was the absolutely stunning cover. Did you have any input into it, and did it look as you’d have imagined it to?
I did have input into it, yes. Bookouture came to me with three cover designs, all of which were beautiful in different ways. We had a slight dilemma on our hands as to which we’d choose, so we enlisted a handful of bloggers to share their thoughts with us. The results were too close to call, believe it or not! In the end, I sort of just threw my hands up and said to my publisher, “Oh, whichever you go with, I’ll be happy!” But I definitely think they made the right choice. It’s everything I imagined and more.
6. How is being a published author? Has the month or so since The Gravity Between Us was released lived up to your expectations?
You know, at first I was really nervous about it. Will it sell? Will it get good reviews? And things of that nature. I mean, everyone wants people to like what they’ve put out into the world, right? So far I’ve gotten a lot of lovely feedback, and it’s doing rather well. At the end of the day, being a published author is a dream come true for me. The fact that people like the book is a bonus!
7. Summer Ronso created a music video to go with the novel. How did that come about – was it your idea, or did she approach you?
Shortly after I finished the first draft, I sent it off to Summer, who had graciously agreed to act as one of my 'beta readers'. We’d been friends for a while at that point, so I trusted that she would give me an honest opinion on the manuscript. A few weeks later, she got back to me and (very excitedly) said, Kristen, this is really good! It should be a movie! From there, she pitched the idea of making a music video based on the book. She is such a talented photographer, and she’s currently studying to become a filmmaker, so I jumped on board right away. I threw some music together for the video and the rest, as they say, is history.
8. I’m always on the lookout for great New Adult fiction as I think it’s a category packed with potential – is there anything you’ve read that you’d recommend to readers while they are waiting for your next book?
Hmm… It’s funny. I usually read and am a huge fan of Sci-Fi and Dystopian fiction, but it seems that we’ve yet to see many Sci-Fi/Dystopian titles that fit into the New Adult category. I think Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro could be classified as New Adult. I can tell you it was an enjoyable read. Also, I liked Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde.
9. Who has been the biggest influence on your career as a writer so far?
Lots of writers name other writers as their biggest influences, and while there are so many authors who inspire me, truthfully my biggest influence as a writer and as a person is my mother. Not only did she teach me how to tell a great story, she’s always been the one person who told me I could achieve anything in the world, as long as I wanted it enough and worked hard enough.
10. What's next for Kristen Zimmer?
I’m currently working on two new books, but you know, I’m a newlywed… and with all the writing I did last year, I think I’m going to shelve them for a little while so we can finally get around to doing that 'honeymoon' thing I’ve heard so much about! No worries though, I’ll definitely have something new for you in 2014.
Fab to talk to you, Kristen - thanks so much for taking part in this interview.

Long time lurker, first time poster here.
Seeing as how no others have been forthcoming I really felt I had to leave a review of Tuesdays gig in Cullercoats Crescent club. Apologies if this goes on and on!
The whole thing was made surreal for me by the fact that I had only managed to get a ticket at 1 o'clock that afternoon. I had missed out in the original sale and had resigned myself to defeat. I'm heading to Blackpool on Saturday so I used that to comfort myself but I had signed up to be added to the waiting list on the off chance some tickets became available (never expecting it to happen). When the email came through I managed to ignore the panicky shakes that it brought and acted fast and was lucky to bag two tickets. I later found out that there had been 180 tickets sold upfront with 40 held back to go on sale on the day.
The venue itself looks like any other working man's clubs. It has two bar rooms downstairs and a function room upstairs. I've spent plenty of time drinking in working men's clubs in the past but it was very strange starting the night with a quick pint sitting with the pubs regulars knowing that Damon and co were upstairs awaiting us.
The function room was pretty much what I thought it would be but the real treat was the stage. It was very compact and had just enough room to host the original 4, Mike Smith and a percussionist whose name escapes me now. My friend and I stood 3 deep at the stage so we had a spectacular view.
The setlist was the same as the Tynemouth gig. A run through of Merrie Land followed by the same 6 tracks from the debut album. When a band plays a new album I always worry that the crowd might not be into it but any slight fears I had of the crowd having a muted reaction to Merrie land were shot by the time Gun to the head came around. It brought about a great sing-along.
The band were superb and all seemed to be enjoying it. At times Tony Allen had the biggest smile on his face.
I couldn't really pick a favourite song as they were all excellent. The two that surprised me the most were The Great Fire (as it seemed to take on a more reggae beat than the album version) and Last Man to Leave. I know that song seems to have split opinion but I love it. Saying that , I was apprehensive to see how it played out. I needn't have worried. It's a hard one to describe how it was different but the band played a bigger part on it then they do on the album and it really worked.
As for Damon, well we all know his vocals are stronger on the more chilled out songs and this album is perfect for them. Even after seeing him play with Blur/Gorillaz all these years his enthusiasm and pure enjoyment still takes me by surprise. He was bounding around the stage (as best he could with it being cramped) , holding any hands that were pointing his way, looking the audience right in the eyes and happily mugging into any phone cameras that were pointed his way. The only hint that the poor chart placing had an effect on him was when, after a brilliant reaction to Drifters and Trawlers, he thanked us ' for singing along as it makes it all worthwhile'.
He was really in high spirits. During Lady Boston he pointed out he doesn't speak Welsh so he changed some of the words to La la la. He made fun of the lamp on Mike Smith's keyboard, he thanked the Line Dancers for cancelling their usual slot to accommodate them and best of all he hugged an older lady called Dorothy who was in the front row only to be told by her that he's her 2nd favourite after Mark Knopfler. Damon bounded back to the microphone and pointed out that he can't compete with Mark Knopfler (how wrong you are Damon!).
The only downside was after the Truce of Twilight when one punter decided to scream ' stop patronising us Damon'. He took it in his stride and invited the 'gentleman' to discuss it later if he wished. The crowd let Damon know how much they loved him and while he was pleased with the support he got you could tell it had spoiled his good mood a little bit. By the time the encore came around though you could see he was back on good form. As for the punter my friend reliably tells me he was escorted out (I didn't even glance in the guys direction as I refuse to give people like that the attention they crave). Not sure if it was the regular bouncers who got him but I hope it was Smoggy who was also in attendance.
A brilliant version of The good, the bad and the queen sent us off happily into the night and has me eagerly looking forward to Blackpool on Saturday.

Wow, so grateful for all the long responses. The forum is dying out yet so many on here not only offer regular opinions, but long, detailed responses which set the time and place. I couldn't imagine seeing Damon in a tiny venue like that with a quiet pint before but all the better for you lads enjoying it. The quit Gentleman's Club is unfortunately dying out (I say as a big lefty) yet there's a few still around Damon et al are happy attend to them. I hope this isn't a small tour as it'd be unreal to relax into some proper Englishness with this act.
Thanks Ronnie, it was a great read! I hope they'll continue to play in small venues next year (I've just seen some new interview with Damon where he says "I'll play everywhere that's featured on the record" - there aren't many big venues in these villages, I suppose )

We asked the president of the Teignmouth Working Mens' Club and he has 150 affiliates who he'll put in a good word with. So I'd like to think in the future we could follow this up. It'd be a bit weird if we just went off to America to play Coachella.

Surveillance for neuraminidase inhibitor resistance in human influenza viruses from Australia
This article published in Communicable Diseases Intelligence Volume 27, No 4, December 2003 reports the results of a study conducted on Australian influenza viruses isolated from 1996, prior to the release of zanamivir (1999) and oseltamivir (2001), through 2003.

Two hundred and forty-five human influenza A and B viruses isolated in Australia between 1996 and 2003 were tested for their sensitivity to the NA inhibitor drugs, zanamivir and oseltamivir using a fluorescence-based neuraminidase inhibition assay. Based on mean IC50 values, influenza A viruses (with neuraminidase subtypes N1 and N2) were more sensitive to both the NA inhibitors than were influenza B strains. Influenza A viruses with a N1 subtype and influenza B strains both demonstrated a greater sensitivity to zanamivir than to oseltamivir carboxylate, whereas influenza A strains with a N2 subtype were more susceptible to oseltamivir carboxylate. A comparison of IC50 values for viruses isolated before and after the release of the NA inhibitors in Australia, found there was no significant difference in the sensitivity of strains to either neuraminidase inhibitor and none of the isolates tested showed clinically significant resistance. Commun Dis Intell 2003;27:542-547.
Two new antiviral agents, zanamivir and oseltamivir, have recently become available for the treatment and prophylaxis of influenza.1,2 These compounds were designed to interfere with the activity of the neuraminidase enzyme of the influenza virus based on knowledge of the three-dimensional crystal structure of the enzyme, determined by Australian scientists, and of the chemistry of its interaction with cell surface receptors.3
Neuraminidase plays a crucial role in the release of new virions from the infected cell1 and the structure of the enzyme active site is highly conserved across the known types of influenza A and B which are responsible for epidemic and, for influenza A, pandemic human disease.4 Consequently, the neuraminidase inhibitors offer considerable promise as broadly active anti-influenza drugs. The rapid replication of influenza, which may precede onset of symptoms in the infected individual, and the difficulty in making an accurate diagnosis of influenza in time for the compounds to have maximum benefit, have limited their use for the treatment of established infection. Nevertheless, they represent an important addition to the options for prevention and treatment of influenza in situations such as institutional outbreaks, for immunocompromised individuals or where vaccines are unavailable. The NA inhibitors are likely to be of value for the treatment and prevention of influenza in the event of a future pandemic when it is expected that there will be little, if any, vaccine available initially, particularly for prophylaxis of health care workers and others providing essential services.
Influenza viruses have an exceptional capacity for adaptive change both through a high rate of mutation and their ability to undergo genetic reassortment.5 While this is most commonly seen as antigenic variation, the rapid evolution of resistance to earlier anti-influenza drugs, the ion channel inhibitors amantadine and rimantadine,6 illustrates the potential that these viruses have to respond to both immunological and other evolutionary pressures. Viruses resistant to the neuraminidase inhibitors can be generated in vitro by multiple passage in the presence of the drugs, however many of these strains demonstrate a significantly reduced infectivity in animal models.7In vivo resistance to zanamivir has only been recorded in a single persistently infected immunodeficient individual,8 whereas viruses with reduced drug sensitivity have been recorded in 0.4 per cent of paediatric and four per cent of adult patients treated with oseltamivir.9 To date there is no evidence of transmission and persistence of resistant viruses. Nevertheless, in view of the capricious nature of influenza and experience with development of drug resistance by other viruses it seems prudent to maintain an active surveillance for drug sensitivity in clinical isolates. A previous study of strains collected globally between 1996 and 1999 investigated the susceptibility of viruses to the NA inhibitors.10 However, because oseltamivir had not yet been released in 1999, and zanamivir had only just become available, the study was unable to determine if the sensitivity of influenza viruses had changed significantly as a result of the introduction of these drugs. Here we report the results of a study conducted on Australian influenza viruses isolated from 1996, prior to the release of zanamivir (1999) and oseltamivir (2001), through 2003.
Influenza isolates
Two hundred and forty-five influenza A and B viruses (Figure 1) were selected from over 4,000 strains collected through the WHO global influenza surveillance program between the years 1996 and 2003, and were tested for their sensitivity to the NA inhibitor drugs zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate. The majority of the viruses were isolates from hospital patients, with a smaller number derived from general practitioner surveillance. Where possible, similar numbers of each NA type (B, N1 and N2) were tested annually with similar overall numbers for each year of isolation (1996-2003) and from all geographic regions of Australia (Figure 1). Due to low numbers of influenza A(H1N1) and B viruses circulating in Australia in some years, and the absence of uniform virological surveillance this was not fully achieved. All viruses were cultured in Madin-Darby canine kidney (MDCK) cells at the WHO Collaborating Centre for Reference and Research on Influenza, Melbourne.
Figure 1. Distribution of isolates selected for NA inhibitor drug sensitivity testing
NA inhibitor drugs
The NA inhibitors zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate were used in the NA inhibition assays. Zanamivir was used directly from the blister packaging of Relenza (5 mg zanamivir and 20 mg lactose) as distributed through pharmacies. Oseltamivir carboxylate (GS 4071) is the active form of the prodrug oseltamivir phosphate (tradename Tamiflu), and was kindly supplied by Professor Noel Roberts, Roche Products, Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom.
NA inhibition assay
To determine the sensitivity of the influenza viruses to the NA inhibitor compounds a fluorescence-based NA inhibition assay was used. The assay was based on the release of the fluorescent product 4-methylumbelliferone from the substrate 2-(4-methylumbelliferyl)-a-D-N-acetylneuraminic acid (MUNANA) as a measure of NA activity.11 The protocol followed a previously published method,12 except that the inhibitor/virus mix was incubated for 45 minutes rather than 30 minutes, and the MUNANA/inhibitor/virus mix was incubated for 60 minutes at 37° C with no shaking, rather than 15 minutes at 37° C with shaking. Briefly, to determine the drug concentration required to inhibit 50 per cent of the NA activity (IC50), each virus was mixed with a range of concentrations of each drug (0.01 nM to 10,000 nM). Following an incubation period, the fluorescence substrate MUNANA is added to the virus/inhibitor mix and then incubated at 37° C for 60 minutes. After this time the reaction was stopped and the level of NA inhibition at different drug concentrations was quantified and an IC50 value for each virus calculated using a logistic curve fit program kindly provided by Dr Trevor Rae, Roche Products, Welwyn Garden City, United Kingdom. One NA inhibitor sensitive and two NA inhibitor resistant control strains were included in each assay for reference purposes. A known susceptible isolate wba-1 A(H1N9), and two known resistant strains xw-2/3 A(H1N9) (E119G mutation) and yn-1 A(H1N9) (R292K mutation) were kindly provided by Jennifer McKimm-Breschkin, CSIRO, Parkville, Australia, and used as controls in each assay for reference purposes.
Paired t-tests were used to compare the IC50 values of the two NA inhibitors for each virus type. To compare the sensitivity of the three NA types to the two NA inhibitors it was first necessary to adjust for year to year differences in the number of each NA type tested, by using year as a covariate. Each of the three comparisons was then analysed using a Tukey's HSD test. Changes in NA inhibitor sensitivity which can predict clinical resistance have yet to be determined, however it has been proposed that a shift of >10-fold may be an appropriate predictor.13 In this study a more conservative approach was taken where by viruses with a >5-fold reduction in sensitivity compared to the mean, were considered outliers and investigated further.
Mean IC50 values ± standard deviation (S.D.) of both zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate for influenza A viruses (grouped by NA type N1 and N2) and influenza B viruses are shown in the Table. Strains from each NA type demonstrated a different level of sensitivity to the two NA inhibitors. Generally, influenza A viruses containing a N1 NA and influenza B viruses were better inhibited by zanamivir than by oseltamivir carboxylate (p ≤0.001), while influenza A viruses with a N2 NA type were better inhibited by oseltamivir carboxylate than by zanamivir (p ≤0.0001) (Table).
Table. Mean IC50 ± standard deviation of zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate for influenza viruses of each NA type
Zanamivir 2.05 ± 2.21 0.36 ± 0.22 1.39 ± 0.86
Oseltamivir carboxylate 19.25 ± 33.22 0.81 ± 0.52 0.38 ± 0.30
The NA inhibitors were also shown to differentially inhibit the three NA types to different degrees. Mean IC50 values of zanamivir were similar for N2, and B strains, but significantly lower for N1 viruses (p <0.05). While the mean IC50 values of oseltamivir carboxylate were similar for N1 and N2 strains, but significantly higher for influenza B viruses (p <0.05) (Table).
To investigate whether there has been any significant change in NA inhibitor sensitivity since the introduction of the drugs into Australia, IC50 values of viruses were compared based on their isolation date. Figure 2 illustrates the individual and mean IC50 values of viruses isolated in the years prior to and following the release of the two NA inhibitors. The mean inhibition level of Australian viruses for each drug before its introduction compared with after its introduction was not significantly different for either NA type or NA inhibitor tested (p £0.05).

Mean IC50 values ( ) for each year are included where there were more than one virus tested for that period. Viruses with IC50 values that are fivefold or greater than the mean IC50 .
Blue shaded area indicates the years following the introduction of the particular NA inhibitor.
Of the 245 influenza viruses tested, only two demonstrated a fivefold or greater reduction in sensitivity to either of the NA inhibitors compared with the mean IC50 value for the relevant NA type (Figure 2). The first of these viruses was an N2 strain isolated in 1998, prior to the release of either zanamivir or oseltamivir carboxylate. This strain demonstrated an IC50 with oseltamivir carboxylate (2.75 nM) that was approximately sevenfold higher than the mean for all N2 viruses with this inhibitor (0.38 nM), although with zanamivir the IC50 for the isolate was not significantly different from the mean (1.97nM vs Mean IC50 N2 = 1.39nM). The other Australian virus to demonstrate a reduction in NA inhibitor sensitivity was an influenza B virus isolated in 2001 from an eight-month-old female infant who was not undergoing NA inhibitor treatment. This strain was shown to have an oseltamivir carboxylate IC50 value of 256.7 nM, approximately 13-fold greater than the mean IC50 for type B strains (19.25 nM), and a zanamivir IC50 value of 18.8 nM, approximately 9-fold higher than the mean (2.05 nM). Further passages of this isolate demonstrated an equally reduced sensitivity to the NA inhibitors.
Due to the rapid evolution of resistance in influenza viruses following treatment with the previous class of anti-influenza drugs the M2 ion channel inhibitors, it was thought necessary, following the release of the NA inhibitors, to monitor influenza isolates for the development of resistance to zanamivir and oseltamivir carboxylate. Here we showed that Australian viruses demonstrated a high level of sensitivity to the two licensed NA inhibitors throughout the study period which were similar to those reported for strains collected globally by the Neuraminidase Inhibitor Susceptibility Network10 and for viruses from Canada.14 While the mean oseltamivir carboxylate IC50 for type B viruses from this study (19.25 nM) is higher than previously reported for strains collected globally (12.46 nM),10 much of this difference can be explained by the inclusion of the outlying 2001 type B isolate (oseltamivir carboxylate IC50 of 256.7 nM) in our data set. Removal of the IC50 value for this virus reduced the overall mean to 15.54 nM.
Zanamivir became available for use in Australia in 1999 followed by oseltamivir in 2001. The overall IC50 values of Australian viruses to the two drugs has not changed significantly since their introduction, nor is there evidence of increased numbers of individual viruses with decreased sensitivity to either NA inhibitor. From 245 influenza isolates tested only two Australian viruses were identified in this study as outliers with IC50 values showing a 7- to 13-fold reduction in sensitivity to the NA inhibitors. These reductions in sensitivity are very low compared to resistant viruses reported in the literature. Strains isolated from patients following oseltamivir treatment have been reported to demonstrate a fold reduction in sensitivity of between 50 and >80,000 compared to the sensitive wildtype strains.15 However, many of the viruses that have a high level of resistance to the NA inhibitors have also demonstrated a significant reduction in infectivity in mice and ferret models.8,16,17 To date only one resistant clinical isolate has been reported following zanamivir treatment, an influenza B isolate from an immunocompromised child.8 This isolate demonstrated a 100-fold reduction in sensitivity to zanamivir.18
For surveillance purposes it is important to define the reduction in sensitivity of a virus that would be expected to result in the clinical failure of the NA inhibitors. Based on the high concentrations of NA inhibitor drug that can be achieved following administration (zanamivir concentrations have been measured above 3,000 nM in sputum six hours post-inhalation)19 even the least sensitive virus from this study should be fully inhibited by either zanamivir or oseltamivir treatment in vivo.
The results of this study and others10,14 indicate that resistance to the NA inhibitors is uncommon. However it does remain prudent to continue to conduct sensitivity testing of viruses, particularly if the use of the NA inhibitors increases in the community. For this purpose the NA inhibition method used in this study has been shown to be ideal for the surveillance for NA inhibitor resistant influenza viruses, particularly as it has been reported to be more predictive of in vivo susceptibility than cell-based assays.20 Targeted surveillance directed to the isolation and testing of strains from normal or immuno-compromised individuals undergoing treatment with the NA inhibitors may allow a more focussed and thorough assessment of the potential for influenza viruses to develop clinically significant resistance to these compounds.

Top Male and Female in 5 year age groups. (19 & under, 20-24, 25-29, 30-34, 35-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, 60-64, 65-69, 70 & up)
Series Scoring
Points will be awarded based on finish time. The winner of any given race (male and female) will be awarded 100.00 points. All other runners in that category will receive a percentage of 100.00 equal to the percentage the winner's time is of their own time. For example, if the winner finishes in 20:00 and you finish in 25:30, you will receive (20 minutes/25.5 minutes) * 100 = 78.43 points (points will be rounded to the nearest hundredth).
This type of scoring emphasizes finish time over finish place, making close finishes less detrimental to series standings than scoring by place. Regardless of the order you place, the faster you run, the more points you receive.
A runner's series score will be determined by adding the top 4 scores from individual races. Although running a single race will enter you into the point series, running 4 races will provide a more competitive score. Running more than 4 races will provide an opportunity to improve your score.
At the end of the series, awards will be given to the top runners, male and female. Additionally, awards will be given to the top runner in each age group from 19 & under through 70 & up in 10 year increments, male and female. Age is determined by a runner's age on the April 11, 2018.

Starring Michael C. Hall, formerly of Six Feet Under.
This show looks like it could be really good. Something like a coroner or C.S.I.-type guy that is actually a serial killer himself???
If it's good, this could possibly give Showtime the final boost up to the HBO-Level of excellent original programming.

About as awful as it was when I read it earlier this year.

I still really like the idea of this show, but the dialogue and half of the acting are pretty bad. Michael C. Hall is good in his role though.
by TheBaxter on Thu Oct 19, 2006 1:56 am
i've been watching it, mainly for michael c. hall. i think he's really good, and i love the idea for the main character. it does feel like two shows though. when it focuses on dexter, it's great black humour, and the cat-and-mouse game between dexter and the freezer guy is fun. but the other characters are two-dimensional, and the supporting cast acting is pretty bad. in particular, the police captain and the keith-from-SFU-lookalike cop are just bad. i'm also not a big fan of the voiceovers, though i don't think they should get rid of them completely, they just need to use them a bit more sparingly.
i hope it gets better, and the acting by the rest of the cast improves.
by cinephile2000 on Thu Oct 19, 2006 3:00 am
I like the show and agree that some of the actors are not up to par, but there are scenes that just set this show up to be something different. You get to see Dexter interacting with children, and for a while your like he could be a good dad, then you remember he just got back from dismembering a body. Crazy stuff.
Just remember, your special like everyone else.

It's really nice just to watch Michael C Hall not be repressed.
by TonyWilson on Fri Oct 20, 2006 10:38 am
I think it's ace. The tone is muddled sometimes but it has a really off kilter style and blacker than black humour. And of course Michael C Hall is amazing.

Why isn't this show getting front page commentaries from the AICN crew?
How can you NOT like this show? Dexter is one of the most interesting characters ever put on TV.
Second season has been confirmed, according to some fanpage of Julie Benz.

i like the show. i guessed who the ice truck killer was 2 episodes ago though.
it has been getting better, so i'm glad it'll have another season. serial killers are awesome.
by DinoDeLaurentiis on Tue Nov 21, 2006 5:16 pm
The Dino, he like a this a show, eh? Although the dialog anna the acting, she could a use a some a work, but a yeah, the Anthony Michael Hall guy is a really good as a the Dexter, no?
Although I think a the guy who plays a his a dad anna the Frank Black onna the Millennium should a go anna do a the "brother" act onna the Vaudeville circuit or a something...
by Seppuku on Tue Nov 21, 2006 6:13 pm
I don't see why he couldn't just show his parents the laboratory though. They always walked around like they were drugged up to the neck on valium, they'd probably say something to him like: "Oh, that's nice dear..." and that'd be the end of it.
By the way, Dee Dee's teh hot.
Yes...I know.
by John-Locke on Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:55 pm
Yeah I guessed who the Ice Truck Killer was as soon as I saw him all those episodes ago.
Loved this weeks episode, it's probably the best one yet and it leaves Dexter with some intresting places to go psychologically although once again I guessed that the Ice Truck Killer had killed his Biological Dad early on, not that the twists are what the shows about though, it's all about the way it puts you in the head of a serial killer for an hour and manages to get you to root for him.
by stereosforgeeks on Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:08 pm
I love the Rudy / Dexter interplay.
Question/Guess?
Are they siblings?
by John-Locke on Mon Nov 27, 2006 11:22 pm
Oh that would be a good twist if it were true but I think not because that would mean he killed his own dad unless they have the same mother which would also explain the difference in hair colour.
Rudy is just trying to turn Dexter into a Serial Killer who will kill innocent people.
by John-Locke on Mon Dec 04, 2006 8:46 pm
Well this weeks episode impressed me once again, Dexters repressed memories were pretty shocking and add layers upon layers to his Psyche, this show fascinates me when its about Dexter, his interaction with his girlfriend, the stuff with Rudy or Dexters memories with his Dad (I guess since James Remar was in Jericho he's had conflicting schedules, I hope to see him back soon) Unfortunately I dislike the acting of the sister and the male Cuban cop, the others are okay, the Black Cop amuses me when he calls Dexter names and the Asian Forensic dude with all his perversions is funny but still, the show is never better than when it's about Dexter, him trying to look like he's leading a normal life or when it's about the people who he's going after.
Definitely my favourite new show on TV this season despite it's flaws.
by DinoDeLaurentiis on Tue Dec 12, 2006 4:26 pm
Anna what of a this week's episode, eh? The story, she is a coming to a the head, no?
The Dino, he was actually surprise at a the last a week's flash-a-back, from a the technical standpoint, eh? Usually, you canna film a the little bambinos inna such a the stressful situation.
Notice, they dinna show a the little kid anna the chainsaw stuff inna the same a scene, but the editing, she made it a look a that a way. But still, you got a the kid sitting inna the stuff that a looks a like a the blood, anna he's alla screaming "mommy! mommy!"
Holy crappa, it's a hard a to watch, even a when a you know it's alla fake.

by tapehead on Wed Dec 13, 2006 10:50 am
no? I say a-Yes! Only got two more eps until I'm up to current - I find the dynamic between Dex and his foster sister fascinating (she's fantastic) and the fact that, despite the show relying so heavily on Dex's interior monologue, I'm starting to see past it and doubt his repeated assertion that he's 'empty inside' - there's no doubt he is a sociopath, but how he became this unique creature is slowly being revealed to us, and the possibility of some kind of 'normal life' is something he does want very badly. The supporting cast, a little cardboard at first, are starting to flesh out into interesting characters - you get to hate that crackhead ex-husband so much, it's gonna be a kick if Dex gets his hands on him!
SPOILER: the prosthetic surgeon sis has started dating - there are strongly foreshadowing that he is the icetruck killer - too obvious?
by beastie on Thu Dec 14, 2006 9:10 am
My first post in The Zone, though I frequent the Talkbacks.
I just got caught up with this show, and wish I wasn't. I watched all 11 episodes in three days and now I have to wait until Sunday or Monday to watch the finale. I have never been so impatient for a TV show in my life (I don't watch much TV, but I'm starting to).
Anyway, I think (spoiler) that one of Rudy's parents was also killed in the same massacre that Dex's mother was killed in.
Also, I think that Rudy is really gunning for a partner in what he does. I think he really wants Dexter to work with him. Dexter mentioned how badly he wanted to talk to others with the same interests, before Neil Perry was cleared. Rudy wants the same. Dexter and Rudy are lonely in what they do and they want to bond. But, Rudy underestimates Dex's adhearance to the code of Harry.
I haven't read the books. I don't know what's going to happen. I will read the first book after this season, but I don't want to spoil Season 2 for myself, so I'll probably read the second book after the second season as well.

- I'm watching the last 2 eps aired later today, and cant wait to see the finale. I've just seen Dex get it on with his girlfriend and murder his therapist - what a breakthough, what a happy day! I didn't actually know these were based on a series of books, I may have to look into that - good tip.

Hey Gang,
Brand spankin' new member here--my first post on this site--
I was taking a short break from viewing the last 2 episodes before the season finale Sun night (12/17/06) and saw the thread on "Dexter." The "Seeing Red" episode where Dexter FREAKS OUT from seeing all the blood in the motel where the Ice Truck Killer had struck again was a mind blower! This guy is so calm and cool around crime scenes but that room just blew (me) and him away!! I thought the episode was great!!
Breaktime's over and I'm gonna go watch the next episode that buddies of mine have said (especially the previews for the season's finale) are slammin' to say the least!
Hope y'all get a chance to scope it out Sunday night...It oughta be a jaw dropper!!! Here in Richmond VA it comes on @ 10pm on Sunday nights.
Have a good one!

Hehehe... welcome to a the Zone, eh RR? Iffa you like, you can a go anna introduce a yourself here.
The motto of a the Zone, she is a the "No Hate, Just a the Debate, eh?"
Wow, what a thoroughly entertaining and refreshingly satisfying end to the season, I'm glad it's coming back but if it did end there it would still feel pretty much complete.
So Rudy/Brian being Dexters brother was always a possiblitity, I would have been more certain of it if they cast someone who didn't look slightly Latino which made me doubt my instincts.
The actor who plays Doakes isn't really a very good actor but damn it if I don't like his poor line delivery, it makes his accusations all the more funnier, I can't wait to see where they take it next season, I'd actually like to see Dexter confide in him with the possibility of them teaming up.
I'm a little sad that Rudy/Brian didn't kill Debra, she's without a doubt the worst actor on the show, I hope they get her an acting coach before they start filming the next season.
Kudos to Christian Camargo who played Rudy/Brian, he turned in a great performance in the show and part of me wanted to see him teaming up with Dexter, still it was nice to finally see Dexter actually kill someone (as oppossed to it cutting or pulling away before the deed was done), and I have to add that it was an extremely powerful scene.
LOVED the last scene with Dexter dreaming about being seen as a hero, it's just another fine example of the weirdly skewed tone that has been consistent the whole series.
Yep, without a doubt Dexter is the best new show this year despite some big faults in the acting department from some of the supporting characters, the next season can't start soon enough for me.
One lingering question, who killed Dexters Mum and the others? Was it his Dad or not?
by stereosforgeeks on Mon Dec 18, 2006 6:51 pm
I think it will be interesting to see what the Doakes and Rita storylines have in the future.
To echo John, I completely think Doakes and Dexter may have some sort fo comraderie after he finds out what Dexter truly does. We already know he is capable of taking the law into his own hands and it would be AWESOME if the ended up allies.
As for the rita storyline I think she will be kept in the dark longer than doakes.

I have to agree with John-Locke. I think the actor who plays Doakes really isn't the best, but his line delivery adds a touch of humor to a character who would normally be a cliche hardass.
I don't have a problem with the woman who plays Deb. She reminds me of women I have known, who because of their insecurities, try to be extra hardcore and end up seeming a little bit fake. I think that this is intentional.
Also, I have no problem with Heath Ledger. I think that he is a wonderful actor with a lot of versatility, BUT, DAMN if I don't think Christian Camargo would be a great Joker.
GREAT SHOW. I'm going to read book 1, now and then wait for next season.
by tapehead on Sat Dec 23, 2006 1:23 pm
The scene with Dexter suddenly walking into a hero's ticker tape parade - loved it so much, really took the series into totally amoral, 'Clockwork Orange' territory, remniscent in tone of the movie's final scene - I laughed out loud and the truth and irony of this sequence.
It could be wrapped up there, as Locke and others have mentioned above, but there's still some mysteries surrounding Dexter's past, which bodes well for the next series.
I have to say I love Deb in this as well; she is kinda dumb, and acts tough to cover her insecurities and vulnerabilities - which in turn humanises Dexter (who in the last two eps started showing some brilliant flashes of very human emotion), since she is his moral compass.
And the Junkie-ex still won't let go - this guy is such a patent asshole, but he wants nothing more than to hang on to his kids, and keep controlling his wife - shaping up into a really interesting supporting character - if he can clean up and get off the drugs he might be really dangerous to Dexter.
Really like all the secens with Dexter's dad, and his Asian off-sider at work (Vince?) started becoming a bit more than a dirty minded source of comic relief after Angel got stabbed
Look forward to more.
by TonyWilson on Sat Dec 23, 2006 1:35 pm
The ticker tape parade was fucking fanstastic. Sick, funny and very true. I loved it, so twisted it caught me up in it's logic. Been a great series all in all. Sure some of the b-plots were a bit lame and some of the acting is a bit sub par but the good outweighs the bad easily. I really like Deb too, she's got that vulnerable tough ambitious woman thing down great and I really like Angel, if only because Morales was the fucking bomb in Oz, yo!
The best thing about it for me was the uniqueness of Dex's situation and how is humanity was being pulled out into the light slowly but surely. Also, the fact that he still upheld his Dad's code even after realising his Dad betrayed him was very powerful and made the final scenes with Rudy really emotional.
Roll on season 2
Yes Tony^^ how funny it was to feel something like pride for Dex as he stuck to his moral code and held true to Deb, so much black, black humour for an American TV show - The final scene between he and his brother wasn't overplayed, Rudy was (drugged up) resigned and accepting - I think it was better that Deb didn't get offed - it would have turned Dex killing Rudy into an act of revenge and fucked Dexter's world view entirely.

Aye, the black humour was my favourite thing about the show. It was great how it could turn on a dime from blackly humourous to deadly serious and pretty chilling, the scenes with young Dexter in the blood and crying for his mother are really very nasty. Just straight to the point disturbing. Great to see on a TV show.
You nailed what I was feeling, pride that Dexter comes out of it on the right (but still wholly wrong) side. He's saved someone who would disown him and killed the only person totally accepting because it's "good" yet he really doesn't believe in good or evil, just a code of survival. That dichotomy gives the show real depth.
I wanted to praise the score too, sometimes it's atad intrusive, but that little seesawing refrain when something truly fucked is going down is amazing, it really cranks the atmosphere up high.

I couldn't agree more. I watch Miike films regularly, and that scene gave me a stomach ache. Very moving scene, indeed.
by Fawst on Tue Jan 16, 2007 4:59 pm
I just did a marathon of this entire show over the long weekend.
*General spoiler warning throughout*
I think I have to disagree on the "bad acting" side characters consensus. I challenge anyone who thinks that Deb sucked to go back and watch her reaction when she wakes up on the boat and Rudy/Brian is unwrapping his tools to go back through the series and find me a more realistic scene out of ANY of the actors. I got major chills from that scene, she was so perfectly freaked the fuck out.
Angel and Doaks are AWESOME. Angel is really touching with his love for his (ex?)wife, and his anguish over ratting out Doaks was pretty perfect. And Doaks... take his scenes with the same level of black humor from the rest of the show, and I think he works just fine. That last shot of him giving Dex the "I'm watching you" was a perfect setup to next season.
TonyWilson wrote: I wanted to praise the score too, sometimes it's atad intrusive, but that little seesawing refrain when something truly fucked is going down is amazing, it really cranks the atmosphere up high.
Couldn't agree more. The closing-credits theme has been stuck in my head all day here at work.
I have to go buy Darkly Dreaming Dexter when I get out of here... and force myself NOT to buy Dearly Devoted Dexter and/or pre-order Dexter In The Dark! Season 2 can't come fast enough... and they haven't even started production yet! Spring! SPRING, dammit! Oh well, at least they said it will air this year.

Oh and the score is awesome indeed. It's made by Daniel Licht and it can be found on the following link.

You can only listen to them on the site though I think. I have a download link for the soundtrack as well but I am not sure if it's legal...

Season 1 is back on OnDemand (I have Comcast in New England... YMMV, I guess), and in HD this time as well! Of course, they f'd it up and only have Eps 2 and 3 in HD right now, whereas 1-3 are up in standard def.

Yes, but at the time I wrote that, that wasn't known yet. I wound up getting the books for my mother for her birthday (she was psyched, whereas most mom's would be like "uhhh..."), and she told me flat out that the second book was the most disgusting thing she ever read... and she couldn't put it down. She also said that there was no doubt in her mind as to why they weren't going to use it as the template for season 2.
I need to read these.

Dexter has signed Keith Carradine to play an FBI agent in its second season; he'll appear in 11 of the 12 episodes scheduled for the fall. His character will come into contact with Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall) when the FBI descends on Miami to probe a rash of dead bodies turning up in the city.

WONDERFUL!!! It gave nothing away about the season, but it really got me psyched and it struck the perfect tone of humor that the first season had.
Also, it mentioned September as the air date. I imagine the DVD will be released sometime about a week or two before that.

Remember the days before you could pull your smartphone out of your pocket and get instant directions from your current location to anywhere in the world? It's kind of foggy for me, too.
In fact, I'm so used to relying on my smartphone that I feel increasingly flustered when wandering the aisles of Costco, locating the elephant house at the zoo, or searching for decent food at the airport. Shouldn't my magical pocket computer help me with this, too?
The answer is "yes," of course. But there are challenges to implementing indoor navigation today.
The maps app on your smartphone has one primary concern: getting you from 106 Main Street to 301 Sunny Lane, or from work to home, or from home to Taco Bell. Why are you going to Taco Bell and what percentage of your taco beef will be meat filler? The app doesn't need to know. Thus, the typical interface for a smartphone maps app is a big map and a search box.
You might assume that an indoor navigation app for, say, the American Museum of Natural History has the same primary concern: getting you from the main entrance to the T-Rex. But why go to the T-Rex? How do I know there's a T-Rex here anyway? And what if my kids have 20 things they want to see and we only have two hours to see everything? And what's going on this week — are there special exhibits?
It turns out that creating a useful indoor navigation app requires more than navigation. So, an effective mobile UI should be more "smart guide" and less "paper maps" on your smartphone.
It's a design challenge, like any other mobile app. Help visitors decide where they need to go first, then direct them there.
Getting directions to the plumbing section of a store is certainly useful. But let's say you're looking for a particular Delta kitchen faucet. Wouldn't it be more useful to search in a retail app for "Delta faucet," check that it's in stock, then get directions right to that product? Who cares if it's in the plumbing section or the kitchen section?
To be truly useful, an app needs to integrate with dynamic data.
Similarly, a university campus app could offer to guide a student to "Kennedy Hall Room 203," but wouldn't it be better to search for "Econ 101" instead? Who cares where Econ 101 takes place today? Even better, just have students enter their name once, fetch their schedule, and automatically take them to whatever their next class is. Why make users do more work than they have to?
OK, so you decide you want directions to that Delta faucet I mentioned earlier. Ideally, the app will automatically start from your current location.
Now comes the great sadness: GPS, as you may know, does not work indoors. The satellite signals are just too weak to penetrate anything much thicker than the metal roof of your car.
However, all modern smartphones have Wi-Fi built in, and wireless networks are common enough in indoor spaces that an app could easily scan for known access points and calculate your position using trilateration.
Here's the catch, however: Unlike the wide open world of Android, developers on the iPhone side aren't allowed to perform these Wi-Fi "signal scans."
Fortunately, there are alternatives. One approach is to make the building do the work instead of the device. Some Wi-Fi installations, such as the Cisco MSE, can determine the location of any wireless device in the building. The access points themselves listen for the Wi-Fi signals created by your phone, then estimate its position via trilateration. This solution has been deployed successfully at a few locations, including at the American Museum of Natural History.
Designing for inaccuracy
One consequence of most indoor positioning systems is a lower degree of accuracy compared to GPS. For instance, indoor systems can usually guess which room you're in, and that's about it. Precision depends on signal fluctuations, which depend on factors like how many people are in the room, how you're holding your phone, and other vagaries.
An effective mobile app must design for this reality from the very beginning. One technique that will help users greatly is to point out quickly recognizable features of the environment.
The Meridian app, for example, uses a short text label to describe each direction step. (Disclosure: I'm the CTO and co-founder of Meridian.) Below, "Rose Room" is clearly marked in the "real world" space and easy to spot, as are the stairs headed down.
The Meridian app uses step-by-step text labels.
The best way to combat inaccuracy, however, is by making it as easy as possible for users to self-correct. In the Meridian app, the map can easily be dragged, rotated, zoomed in and out, and the turn-by-turn steps can be flipped through with ease. If the starting location isn't perfect, the user will instinctively drag around and figure it out.
Building amazing indoor app experiences is not only possible, it's already happening. This year alone, many places — from stadiums and retailers to museums and corporate campuses — have launched apps that are used by hundreds of people every day for navigation and to access location-based content.
Indoor Wi-Fi positioning technology isn't a research project anymore; it's out there and works with the devices we all now carry. With the right user interfaces, it can be just as effective as GPS is outdoors.
It's time to spread the incredible experience of wandering around a place as enormously complex as the History Museum without ever feeling lost.

ABC House Now Offers “A Better Connection”
In less than a decade and a half, A Better Chance of Westport has impacted the lives of dozens of young men. It’s helped provide excellent education, a chance at college, a boost up in life. (It’s also benefited many Westporters, who have learned plenty from the ABC scholars. But that’s another story.)
Though still in their 20s, ABC graduates are making their mark in business, finance and the arts.
And — as young as they are — they’ve already decided it’s time to give back.
Charles Winslow leads the charge. Raised by his father in Brooklyn, he first heard of the national ABC program from his 8th grade guidance counselor. His initial reaction — “No way! I want to be cool in high school” — slowly gave way to the realization that it might open some doors.
He went through the process — SSATs, recommendation letters, interviews, a visit to Westport — and in 2005 arrived at Glendarcy House on North Avenue.
“I was a 13-year-old African American boy from Brooklym, in an affluent town of Caucasians,” Charles recalls.
“It was a culture shock. The academics at Staples were rigorous. I didn’t know what I got myself into. I called my dad every day.”
Charles Winslow, as an ABC scholar in 2008…
Like the other ABC scholars, he studied 3 to 4 hours a day. He did chores. Gradually — with help from older boys in the house, the house parents, and a cadre of ABC volunteers — he made his way.
Then he made his mark.
Charles became a 3-year volleyball starter, and senior captain (and won state and FCIAC championships every year he was on the team). He was co-vice-president of Junior Achievement, made money for the club, and traveled to Canada for a conference.
ABC graduate Savion Agard encouraged Charles to apply to Cornell University’s School of Hotel Administration. Charles was hesitant, but — with the help of Freudingman & Billings — he got in.
Charles continued to thrive at Cornell. He played club volleyball, tutored children, and spent a “life-changing” Semester at Sea, visiting the Great Wall of China, Taj Mahal, Vietnam, South Africa, Ghana, Morocco and Panama Canal.
He’s now an analyst in the real estate division of Goldman Sachs. During lunch breaks, he volunteers with Big Brothers Big Sisters.
But he wants to do even more.
…and in 2013, beginning his career at Goldman Sachs.
When he was at ABC House, Charles realizes, there were not yet any graduates making it in the working world. He had no professional role models from the program; no one to ask questions only a former ABC scholar would know how to answer.
Now there are.
Charles spoke with Steve Daniels — a Westporter, African American and corporate executive who’s been a great mentor to many ABC scholars. They devised an idea for an informal mentorship program, matching young ABC graduates with current scholars. ABC vice president Lori Sochol helped Charles refine the plan.
“There are so many things to talk about: grades, being away from home, assimilating, careers.” Charles says. “Every year we come back for the Dream Event [annual fundraiser], but we don’t really know the guys who are in the house now. This is a way to enhance that, so we can use the networks and relationships we’ve formed to help them.”
This month, the program — called A Better Connection (get it?) — begins. Charles has recruited a group of mentors. Each is assigned a mentee. They’ll talk for a minimum of 30 minutes every 2 weeks. Hopefully, deeper relationships will follow.
Charles envisions more, too: social events, a listserv to share ideas and information.
The 2014-15 ABC House scholars.
“As students of color, we got a great education in Westport,” Charles says. “But it’s important for those of us who are doing great things now, thanks to that, to help and network with younger students of color.”
This year’s Dream Event is Saturday, March 28 (7 p.m., Birchwood Country Club). Charles will be there, speaking about A Better Connection. He and other ABC grads will meet the current scholars — and their individual mentees.
One of Westport’s most valuable and meaningful programs is about to get even “better.”

This seems like an exceptional program. What is so impressive is that Charles is passing along a wonderful sense of commitment and dedication by volunteering with Big Brothers Big Sisters. Everyone involved with this program seems so committed to excellence. Great stuff!

January Artwork Roundup
January was another great month for Black Library’s Art department. Given that it was also the first month of the year, that can only be a good thing right? I certainly think so. As I have mentioned previously, Black Library hires some excellent freelancers and the covers that these artists turn out are almost always of the highest quality. This is especially, especially true for February, but that roundup is still a couple weeks away at the least.
Let’s see what we got from the silver towers in Nottingham for January.

Warrior Priest by Darius Hinks (A Review)
Another review for you all today as Vivia talks about Darius Hinks’s Empire Army novel, Warrior Priest. Just as with our last, this review is an interesting one too and we hope you like this one as well. Enjoy!
My first book by Darius Hinks was Sigvald, a wonderfully mad, dark fantasy novel about a Slaaneshi champion and his adventures in the Chaos Wastes. It was with excitement and great expectations I went on to read his first novel, Warrior Priest.
We are introduced to the main characters as they save a woman from being burned at the stake for witchcraft. She is saved by them, but not in the way we expect. The saviours and heroes of Warhammer are dark and brutal and in Warrior Priest we get a fine example of that sort of hero in the Sigmarite priest Jakob Wolff.
Almost from the start there is tension between Anna, the Shallya priestess, and the warrior priest. Their ideologies are opposites; one is a healer and the other a warrior, and gives an interesting view into the different religions of the Warhammer world that is rarely seen. Not as much as I would have liked to see but glimpses from time to time. They dislike each other and it doesn’t change much as the story goes on.
The atmosphere in the first half of the book is reminiscent of a post-apocalyptic world. War has left Ostland in ruins and people cling to faith in desperation and it’s hard not to feel they’re in a hopeless situation. Hinks conveys this feeling of despair with grey, rainy days, filth, mud and desolation. It’s a very dark world depicted in Warrior Priest and that’s exactly as it should be. The degree of violence is high and horrible in its brutality; I like it as this gives more depth to the battle scenes. There is one very atmospheric fight with man against beast, which gave me the chills.
About two thirds into the story, it changes pace and the reader is forced into the point of view of another character that is suddenly introduced. Important for the story as he is, his inclusion feels disjointed from the rest of the story and comes out of nowhere. I can’t help think these chapters could have been improved by extensive editing and it makes the story lack structure. It’s puzzling why we get such an in-depth view into this character and yet Jacob, the star of the story, is left mostly undeveloped. The story doesn’t really recover from it and the ending is by the rulebook, a mocking villain with dastardly plans of Evil, though the villain’s master was exciting but it’s nothing remarkable. It was hard to keep on reading until the end as I thought the main plot was turning weaker and weaker.
The last chapters display Hinks’s penchant for gore and revolting details including bodily fluids and entrails all over the place. There is a particularly disgusting and graphic scene that almost made me wretch, concerning corpses and the semi-dead, quite realistic considering the circumstances. This is what the author excels at and what I love to read. His descriptions are very vivid and intense. Be aware of this and also don’t eat while reading. I totally lost my appetite several times throughout the story.
The last fight between good and evil was unconvincing, it was over rather quickly and left me wondering if this was the author’s manner of saying that evil can be small and petty. The problem is that I didn’t think it was handled very well; the plot just fell apart, no matter the efforts of giving us a background story in earlier chapters. The actual ending feels more of an afterthought from the writer and was fascinating but rather unnecessary to the main story. The story and characters deserved a better closure.
The characters aren’t always consistent either: Ratboy, Jacob’s acolyte, has an inexplicable attraction towards Anna, the priestess. Perhaps this is Hinks’s way of pointing out that everyone in this mad world is corrupted and weak, but it isn’t really dwelled upon, interesting as it would have been. Another minor character is left completely out of a big portion of the story despite having a good start in the beginning.
Which leads me to my other complaint: the main female character in the story Anna is used as the ‘romantic’ interest of a few of the male characters throughout the book. I could argue this works with the story and the setting but is leaves me disappointed once again with the female characters (nothing new when I read a Black Library novel). In his defence Hinks writes the women better than most but Sigvald is a better example of this and he isn’t afraid of showing their more disturbing sides.
It doesn’t stop me from sighing every time this happens with the poor underused women characters. It’s also how they’re described; the men tend to be put in better light than the women, in unbridled male-worship. You can’t escape the fact that the Black Library stories favour the men, and considering that the writers are mostly men it puts an interesting angle into this. Think what you want but hey, it’s there. Take a look from all sides.
Despite the books many flaws I’m quite pleased to say that Hinks avoid many of the usual, and annoying, Black Library clichés. His characters are flawed, they come across as real people and we understand them. They suffer, they get hurt and their faith is strong. His dialogue is realistic and he doesn’t fall in to the trap of stilted speech to convey a sense of archaism or an epic feel – something most Black Library stories are guilty of and not in a good way. When this happens, it throws me right out of the story and makes my teeth hurt.
At times it feels as if the world of Warhammer and its many horrors is the main focus of the story, not the characters. I’m not complaining, it’s a place that has a wonderful dark atmosphere, sometimes bordering on horror, with many layers of secrets and that is what we want to read about. It’s as much part of the stories as the characters.
Read and enjoy it but don’t expect the same thrill and brilliance of Sigvald, Hinks second novel. Most importantly keep reading Darius Hinks because he is an interesting author and I expect many dark and violent tales from him in the future.
Many thanks to my betas, Merci and Liliedhe. Their help was much appreciated.

Author Interview – Anthony Reynolds
Hello folks, and welcome to what will be the last author interview for February. Today, we have Anthony Reynolds himself in the spotlight as he talks about the Word Bearers, Bretonnians, Villains and his future works.
Anthony Reynolds brought the Word Bearers Chaos Legion to the forefront with his excellent novels featuring the Dark Apostle Marduk and his battle-brothers of the 34th Host. He has also written about the Knights of Bretonnia, telling the tale of one in particular, Calard, and Chlod. And of course, he has also worked extensively with the Games Workshop Design Studio in the past so he has seen both sides of the lore and has helped shape it.

The Age of Digital Publishing
It is no secret that in the last four-five years, digital publishing has literally exploded and has quickly become a dominant factor in the book publishing industry. Whether it is indie authors self-publishing their work or the various traditional publishers, both big and small, transferring their dead-tree versions to the digital medium. There has even been the entry of publishers who only put out digital products. Undeniably, Amazon has led this revolution with its Kindle Books, its Kindle eReader and its strong, often ruthless, practices where digital book formats are concerned. Amazon is currently the goliath of the publishing industry and it doesn’t look like that will be changing any time soon. However, Barnes & Noble is on the rise as well with its Nook eReader and Apple is also taking tentative steps towards it thanks to their iPad tablets and their recent iBooks Author publishing app.
So where does all of this leave an aspiring writer? Well, the answer is pretty complicated and unfortunately too extensive and contentious a topic to be discussed in depth on this blog. All, the same, I would like to offer some tips and strategies to all aspiring writers who, like me, wish to break into the industry as bona fide authors and want to do so successfully.

Author Interview – Chris Wraight
Monday, monday, monday. Another monday, another interview. Today it is Chris Wraight, long-time freelance writer for Black Library, who takes a stroll through these parts and talks about how he got started and his works: past, present and future.
As most of you know, and for those who don’t, Chris wrote the phenomenal Battle of The Fang novel for the Space Marine Battles series, and has also had great success in Warhammer Fantasy with his Warhammer Heroes novels and his Empire Army novels. Chris has also taken tentative steps into the Horus Heresy series with his short story Rebirth, featuring the Thousand Sons and by all accounts, 2012 looks like it is going to be a great year for him.
So here’s Chris himself!
Shadowhawk: How did you get started with writing for Black Library and what attracted you to the two Warhammer settings?
Chris: A long time ago, almost out of the blue, I submitted a short story for an open competition BL was running. I was invited to work it up for publication, with the result that it appeared in the Invasion! anthology. A couple of novels followed, about which it’s probably kindest to say that they, er, showed some potential. Thankfully the editors at Black Library persevered, and since Iron Company I’ve begun to feel quite a bit more at home in the Old World.
Shadowhawk: You are a veteran for Warhammer Fantasy with quite a few novels and short stories under your belt. Which format do you prefer over the other?
Chris: Novels are what it’s all about, really. Shorter fiction is less stressful to write and offers opportunities to do cool things, but in terms of author satisfaction there’s nothing quite like looking at the spine of a finished book sitting on your bookshelf. They’re tough to plot out and infuriatingly hard to finish, but absolutely worth it in the end.
Shadowhawk: Battle of the Fang, your Space Marine Battles novel featuring the Space Wolves and Thousand Sons is lauded as one of the best in the series. How did you approach the material and what inspired you to take on this particular event?
Chris: I was asked by Nick Kyme to draw up a proposal for Battle of the Fang. I believe the story was slated to be part of the Space Marine Battles series right from the start, but scheduling issues meant that it went without an author for quite a while. Since starting out with Black Library I’d always been keen to try writing 40K, and I’d previously been given a try-out with the short story Runes in one of the Space Marine anthologies, so when the chance came to work on the project I leapt at it.
In some ways, doing a Space Marine Battles book was an ideal first outing for a novel-length project, as the basic plot for it already existed. In most other respects, though, it was a hard story to write. The Space Wolves are about as popular a faction as any, and at the time of writing the book they hadn’t had a novel featuring them for a while. I knew that Prospero Burns would be out beforehand, which was bound to be a massive event. There were also elements of the story – such as the starting premise and Magnus turning up – that were very difficult to know how to handle. I spent a lot of time thinking about how to draw everything together (which made the book quite late), so it’s nice that many readers seem to have enjoyed the end result. You’re never going to satisfy everyone about every aspect of your take on something, particularly when some fans have a very clear idea about how certain events should pan out before even picking up the book, but the majority of the feedback has been encouraging.
Shadowhawk: How much inspiration did you draw from Dan’s Prospero Burns and Bill’s Ragnar novels? Did you communicate with either of them for this project?
Chris: I spoke to Dan a number of times while writing, and he was enormously helpful. Prospero Burns was finished off while I was about halfway through Battle of the Fang, and I made quite a few changes to the drafts to try to reflect his (incredible) reimagining of the Wolves. I also read, and re-read, the first four Space Wolf books, which were similarly useful in getting a feel for the Chapter. I’d like to think that while my Space Wolves incorporate concepts from both Bill’s and Dan’s treatment of them, they have a few features of their own too. One of the nice things about working in a shared universe, after all, is the chance you get to leave some ideas of your own out there.
Shadowhawk: Your next novel for Warhammer 40,000 is another Space Marine Battles novel, this time featuring the Iron Hands. You have previously written a short story for them in Hammer & Bolter. Why the Iron Hands?
Chris: No one else was doing them. J
Shadowhawk: Both the Iron Hands and the Space Wolves are non-traditional chapters who diverge quite a bit from the Codex Astartes and have some very strong ideologies of their own carried over from the days of the Great Crusade and the Horus Heresy. What has it been like to delve into their unique culture and their psyche?
Chris: The Space Wolves are a very popular and a very likeable Chapter: they’re dynamic, individual, and occupy a unique space in the 40K mythos. The Iron Hands are the opposite: they’re grim, agonised and gloomy. That makes the Wolves far easier to write about, since you have some of the material for creating characters to identify with. The Iron Hands are more difficult. In some ways, that’s a more satisfying challenge – making the unlikeable interesting. In Wrath of Iron, the Iron Hands don’t pull any punches – they’re not nice, they’re not nuanced and they’re not misunderstood. Just as some Traitor Legions embody a lot of admirable features, some Loyalists really are pretty screwed up, and the Iron Hands are about as badly damaged as they come. There are, however, stories to be told about how and why they came to be the way they are, and how they relate to the rest of the Imperium.
Shadowhawk: Ludwig Schwarzhelm and Kurt Helborg are getting their second outing in the upcoming novel Swords of the Emperor. These two are also among the first heroes of the Old World to be featured in the Warhammer Heroes novels. How did you get started with both of them?
Chris: Writing for Schwarzhelm and Helborg was great, as neither character had a huge amount of worked-out background already in print. I took the text in the Empire Army Book as the starting point, together with the fantastic artwork, and tried to give each of them proper personalities. They’re very different men: Schwarzhelm’s dour, reserved and only really good at a certain kind of fighting, whereas Helborg’s accomplished, brash and a more natural leader of men. Of all the projects I’ve written for Black Library, I probably enjoyed the two Swords books the most, mostly due to the freedom I felt I had with the story and characters.
Shadowhawk: What can you tell us about Swords of the Emperor itself?
Chris: Swords of the Emperor is an anthology containing the novels Sword of Justice and Sword of Vengeance. It will also contain the short stories ‘Feast of Horrors’ (featuring Schwarzhelm) and ‘Duty and Honour’ (starring Helborg). The second of those is new for the anthology, and sees Kurt in action in Bretonnia.
Shadowhawk: You have written extensively for the Empire before so how was the experience writing for the High Elves in your novella Dragonmage? Will there be any possible sequels to the story contained therein?
Chris: Writing Dragonmage was actually quite hard, as it turned out, and the novella ended up going through a couple of drafts. Nick Kyme, my editor for that one, had a lot of input into the finished result and improved it hugely. I guess the issue was largely down to switching between the Empire, which is a low fantasy setting, and the world of the High Elves, which is a bit more epic and mythical. It’s been good to read the feedback to the final product, though, which squeezed quite a lot of story into a relatively short package and seems to have gone down well. I don’t expect we’ll see a sequel, although I’ll be writing High Elves again as part of the War of Vengeance series. The first book in that sequence will be Nick’s The Great Betrayal. My follow-up has the provisional title Master of Dragons, and, as you’d expect, has a whole lot of fire-breathing, stuntie-crushing action planned for it.
Shadowhawk: Any plans to tackle the Horus Heresy? And what faction, event, character would you like to explore next?
Chris: Nothing that’s ready to talk about, I’m afraid. In terms of future projects in general, I’ve got High Elves, Space Wolves and White Scars all on the horizon.
Shadowhawk: With the Games Day 2011 Anthology, we got the first peak into Luthor Huss in your short story The March of Doom. The novel itself is coming out next month. Warrior Priests are not like the other soldiers of the Empire, so what was it like to get into the psyche of one?
Chris: I took the view that if Fantasy had Space Marines in it, then Huss would be one. Warrior Priests share the same asceticism, devotion and martial prowess – they even look a bit the same. Huss isn’t quite your average Warrior Priest, though; he’s a bit more extreme than most, and more interesting too. The tone set in The March of Doom is very much the same as that in Luthor Huss, so anyone who enjoyed the anthology story will hopefully like the novel too. Huss is a bit like Schwarzhelm, but with an added dose of religious fervour. He’s another one of those uncompromising, brutal characters that Warhammer seems to generate. As ever, the interest in such a character come from why someone would end up like that, and there’s a good deal too on the nature and limitations of faith.
Shadowhawk: Who and/or what has been the biggest influence on your writing?
Chris: Some of the influences you end up with aren’t that helpful. I think I’ve inherited a strong dose of Tolkienese from being obsessed with The Lord of the Rings as a child. I love Tolkien, but I don’t really want to write like him. I still do from time to time, unfortunately, but it’s something I’m working on. Otherwise, I admire a lot of different writers, most of whom have little in common with one another. Right now I’m reading a very good book by Margaret Atwood on science fiction, which is already giving me ideas.
Shadowhawk: Have any of your characters ever challenged you straight up or otherwise while writing them?
Chris: Lots do. I found writing Space Wolves very hard. Space Marines in general are hard. Elves are quite hard, too. Actually it’s all quite difficult, now I come to think about it.
Shadowhawk: What helps you get into the writing mindset?
Chris: Ah, that depends. Some days it all seems to work well, and I get up from the desk having typed several thousand words of stuff I’m quite pleased with; others, it’s a challenge getting anything on the page. I listen to a lot of film scores when I’m writing, partly to try to get into the right frame of mind. A good Black Library book should be a bit filmic, I think. For Wrath of Iron, that ended up being the OST from Christopher Nolan’s two Batman films. Suitably dour.
Shadowhawk: What are you looking forward to the most in terms of your own work for 2012?
Chris: Getting back to writing about dragons, and writing an encounter between two gentlemen, one of whom may or may not be Horus, the other of whom may or may not be the Khan.
Shadowhawk: Anything else happening this year you are absolutely stoked for?
Chris: Um. The Olympics?
Shadowhawk: If all your leading characters got into a cross-universe deathmatch, who would you root for and why?
Chris: A secondary character called Pieter Verstohlen, who first popped up in Sword of Justice. He wouldn’t last five minutes of course, but I’d hope he’d find a way to hang in there a bit longer than anyone expected. One day, if the stars align, he’ll get another novel. In fact, I’d love him to have a whole series (though don’t hold your breath for that).
I hope you all enjoyed that interview folks. Coming later this week is the January (Black Library) Artwork Round-up and a blogpost on ePublishing, so stay tuned through the week!

Self-publishing Thoughts
Today’s guest post is somewhat different from the others. Indie author John C. Scott, a good friend of mine, is here today to talk to you about where he went wrong with his self-publishing venture. We both hope that his short and sweet reflections on his first published novel The Legend of Adam Caine serve you all in successfully navigating the murky waters of self-publishing.
I’m an idiot
I’m a complete idiot.
I’ve been asked (by my good friend Abhinav) to write about my experiences in the world of self-publishing. I’ve been looking back over the last couple of years, and my conclusion is that I’m an idiot, completely and totally.
Okay, I should explain first.
Self-publishing (for those few out there who don’t know) is almost how it sounds. Essentially, you send your manuscript to a specialised publisher who then prints your book through the print on demand system. They’re all mostly online these days so it’s just a case of emailing the manuscript or uploading it to the website itself.
My book, The Legend of Adam Caine, was published with Authorhouse, a trans-Atlantic company.
The problem is that self-publishing is for those with money. A lot of the paperback publishers have services beyond simply arranging the words on the page and printing it out. They offer editing of varying degrees, marketing, reviews, the works. But unfortunately, it costs… a lot, usually. Or at least that’s been my experience.
The alternative in self-publishing is the upload direct option, where they print off exactly what you copy and paste or upload to their website. Createspace is one I’m attempting myself, more for the experience and the special offer for Nanowrimo winners than anything else.
Another reason why I’m an idiot.
I’ve got no patience whatsoever when it comes to my writing. When I started publishing Adam Caine, I was so desperate for it to be done and out and in my hands I was literally on the edge of my seat and watching for the postman to deliver the proof. The only problem was that I was too impatient to get my free fifteen copies that I stupidly approved it before checking it.
The only problem was that the publisher only allowed a few changes to the proof before charging quite a bit for more. Joy. Insert tearing out of fur and enraged Wookiee growls. Not only that, but the actual editing would have cost me something close to six thousand pounds. Ouch. Cue more enragement and annoyed stomping.
Of course, no matter what I’ve done, what I may think of the process, I still get goosebumps whenever I pick up a copy of my book, so it’s not all bad, hey?
So to sum up, I’m an idiot, and self-publishing isn’t a bad thing despite the obvious stigma, but you need lots of money, time, and patience. Of those three options I have none. Probably shouldn’t mention that to any potential future agent or publisher, should I? Oops.
Anyways, I’m entering a submission to Black Library in May, hopefully it’ll be accepted. Who knows, maybe I’ll have my name on a Black Library novel this year? Probably not.
Oh yeah, that’s something else every author should have and don’t always have: confidence.
John is an avid reader of Black Library fiction and just about anything else he can get his hands. His first novel The Legend of Adam Caine is currently available through Authorhouseand Amazon as well. Describing himself as an “insane hairly mumbler who likes to write stuff…” John has also participated in the National Novel Writing Month and his successful effort from 2011 is currently in the early stages of being publishing. You can find John rambling on his new blog Shaven Wookiee and also on twitter – @shaven_wookiee.
Next week’s Thursday post will be the January Artwork Round-up and the week following, I will be continuing the theme of today’s post and talk about some of the ways that you can all break into the e-publishing industry.

DOCUMENT: Bizarre, Florida
Walmart Pleasure Seeker Barred From Retail Giant
Plea deal spares indecent exposer a jail sentence
Walmart Pleasurer Plea
http://www.thesmokinggun.com/file/walmart-pleasurer-plea
DECEMBER 1--The Florida man arrested after he was caught masturbating in the toy aisle of a Walmart with the aid of a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue has cut a plea deal that bars him from future visits to the retail giant “or any store where children’s toys are sold,” court records show.
As part of a plea deal to indecent exposure and battery charges, William Tyler Black was sentenced to two years of community control, a more severe version of probation that often includes a curfew. Black, 28, will also be subjected to GPS monitoring, according to a Sarasota Circuit Court document that stipulates “no contact w/ Walmart.”
The deal spares Black, who spent a month in custody following his September 14 arrest, further jail time. The conviction, though, will likely have a negative impact on Black’s career as a substitute teacher. Black is pictured in the above mug shot.
When confronted by cops, Black admitted that he had been masturbating in the store’s toy aisle, claiming that he was driven to the lewd act after he spotted “some pretty girls which made him aroused.” He told officers that he “grabbed a magazine and then found a back aisle and began to masturbate until he relieved himself on the floor,” according to a probable cause affidavit.
The magazine he selected was the 2010 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue featuring model Brooklyn Decker on its cover. [Update: Crime scene photos revealed that Black actually opted for SI’s $11.99 “Swimsuit Portfolio,” a bound volume also featuring Decker on its cover.]
A Walmart worker told investigators that Black “ejaculated onto the floor and wiped his hand on a toy along with rubbing his foot in the suspected semen on the floor.” He then “discarded the magazine behind some toys and proceeded to the front of the store,” employees reported. The defiled toy was a lightsaber (apparently of the "Star Wars" variety), according to a law enforcement source.
Though Black--who claimed he was shopping for a toy for his daughter--assured arresting officers that, “I swear I’m not a pervert,” and offered to clean up his mess, he was nonetheless charged with a felony and a misdemeanor. One charge, battery on a child, was filed since a “reasonable person would believe that a child would come in contact with the fluid on the toy being that it was left in the toy aisle of the store.” (4 pages)

This has nothing to do with politics. There are just as many republicans who would do this sort of thing. The only thing we have to thank for this kind of crap is rampant pornography and an over-sexualized society.

I'm confused. The facts contradict your assetion. Historically it's often Republican senators who try to pick up men in airport bathrooms (Craig), hire prostitutes with campaign money (Vitter) and christian ministers who snort meth off the rump of male hustlers (Haggert) or hire male prostitutes for other purposes (Rekker), or sodomize barely legal boys (Long). Republican christians hold the title for Perverts.
Just one name you forgot.... Bill Clinton... nice pretty blue dress.... in the Oval office.... no thanks needed... just glad I could help you out.

Hmm... was Bill Clinton a Republican? Granted, he raped a woman (Juanita Broaddrick), which apparently isn't a big deal compared to doing something gay. And I find it interesting how liberals are the first to say they are so tolerant, but always resort to gay slanders when referring to conservatives. If republicans hold the title for pervs, I guess we can say democrats hold the title for hypocrite scumbags? Here's a decent list to start with... http://www.boycottliberalism.com/Scandals.htm

Tinat Atifa Masood – second woman to lead Rotary Club of Guwahati
July 21, 2016 July 21, 2016 Thumb Print 0 Comment
Tinat Atifa Masood, who took over charge as the new President of the Rotary Club of Guwahati at a glittering installation ceremony at the Rotary Centre in Guwahati on Tuesday night, became the second woman to lead the oldest Rotary Club of Assam which has had the privilege of having the former President of India, Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed as one of its members at one time. Tinat, incidentally, is also the youngest ever President to take over charge of RC Guwahati.
Bandana Dutta was the first woman to be elected as the President of RC Guwahati. She was elected for the term 2004-05 when the world was celebrating centenary of the Rotary movement. Her tenure was marked by spectacular performance by the Club that brought it laurels from India and abroad.
Abdul Raqib, the outgoing President of RC Guwahati, presented a report covering the activities under various segments of service during the term 2015-16. He informed the audience that a new Rotaract Club named ‘Rotaract Club of Anamika Residency’ comprising only girls students from colleges, was established in Guwahati during the just concluded Rotary year.
After receiving the mantle from the outgoing President, in her acceptance speech Tinat said, “The achievement and success of any service comes from the feeling when a group of ‘givers’ go home, weary and tired but with an elation of being part of an activity that has probably made the lives of a deprived section of people better than before!” She added, the theme of Rotary this year is “Rotary serving humanity” which is apt for the trying times people world over are going through and wished her fellow Club members across the world to make this year better than before, for the underprivileged and needy.
“We have to unlearn the process of working in isolation and learn the art of hand-holding,” Dr Mridul Hazarika, Vice Chancellor of the Gauhati University, who was the chief guest on the occasion, spoke ever so eloquently at the 62nd installation of the RC Guwahati, as the audience listened in rapt silence. He also focussed on school education and felt that the country needs to give more emphasis on the matter. He stated that while 62 per cent of schools in India do not have boundary walls, students in only 16 per cent of schools have access to computers.
Among many outstanding personalities of the region, Saeedulla Nongrum, former Health Minister of Meghalaya was also present at the installation. The dignitaries present unveiled the special issue of the Club bulletin “Pragjyotee” published to mark the occasion.

Experts: EVV ‘2.0’ Positioned to Improve Care Across the Ecosystem
Joe Marte, Director of Enterprise Sales at Tellus, moderated a panel discussion about the benefits of EVV across the health care market at Tellus’ 2nd annual national EVV forum June 14. Presenters represented a cross section of the care delivery industry: James Elkington, SVP Revenue Cycle Management at Aveanna, Alex Shekhdar, Principle at Sycamore Creek Health, and Cheryl Vennerstrom, COO of Morning Sun Financial.
Electronic Visit Verification can have a big impact on the delivery of care, beyond helping to regulate systemic fraud, waste and abuse (FWA) in the home health and personal care services (PCS) space, according to the experts representing providers, MCOs and self-directed care.
The panel offered their own takes on EVV and its evolution in the marketplace.
“From our perspective, what this really has done is push mobile technology that we didn’t have for our unskilled business,” said Elkington, who was already using tablets for skilled services. “The unskilled portion of our business is bigger in some states than others, but we didn’t have a mobile technology for the unskilled portion of our workforce. It’s bringing us into the 21st Century. That’s going to be a huge benefit for our company from an efficiency perspective.”
Vennerstrom agreed, adding that accountability, billing and payroll processing, which is done manually at her company, will benefit from EVV mobile apps, although one challenge is that many of her caregivers live in rural areas and not all have Internet access.
“What do we do about those folks, and how do they clock in and clock out?”
EVV as a tool to fight FWA “cannot be understated,” from a regulatory perspective said Shekhdar, who participated in another panel June 13 on Medicaid Managed Care trends, including FWA.
EVV 2.0
Beyond visibility and efficiency from EVV helping providers and agencies, the positive effects resulting from EVV evolving into EVV “2.0” are considerable, according to the panelists.
For Elkington, the building of administrative relationships in every state and maintaining them “is a real paradigm shift in how we operate,” he said.
EVV can have a broader reach, based on performances of past pilot programs, Shekhdar added, extolling its “lasso effect” in harnessing services. With billing executed faster and more efficiently, cleaner claims will become the norm across the ecosystem, Vennerstrom and Marte agreed.
The panel consensus is that EVV is a positive force, creating efficiencies for workers, providers and states. People know they will get paid as a result of clean claims. “Bad actors” in FWA are being monitored, and EVV is the start of trying to stabilize the home care and Medicaid fee-for-service marketplace.
Shekhdar also predicted that EVV will strengthen the market by consolidating the number of providers that can’t show value.
“EVV is going to help to start to add some sort of rationality to the number of providers that operate in the space. It’s going to shake out.”
Better outcomes
In self direction, teaching and training caretakers, many of whom are family members is critical to efficient caregiving, said Vennerstrom, adding her firm serves as an intermediary.
“In terms of silver linings, EVV will have a great impact on fraud, waste and abuse,” she said.
One “speedbump,” according to Shekhdar is establishing performance metrics for family member caregivers. At its best, technology acts as a bridge to standardization in PCS, he said.
Regarding outcomes, including in self-direction, very little data exists in the home care and PCS arena, Marte said.
“Where we are at now, with EVV and partnering, that’s where that [paradigm] shift comes…we’ll have real-time data to really compare.”
From Elkington’s perspective, mobility in health care is an exciting development and has forced his business to look at other aspects of its operations, such as improving recruitment and staffing shortages.
“We needed a mobile app. It made us think outside the box,” he said.
States are now looking seriously at social determinants in home care, and they need an assessment mechanism to gauge services, Shekhdar noted.
“Technology helps with your bridge to getting critical revenue,” he said.
The federal government is compelling putting patients back in homes, Shekhdar noted, referring to an incentivized transition of services underway from institutions to the home preferred by patients that also reduces health system costs.
A recent demonstration project done by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services showed that support in the home from a private duty standpoint could help lower the frequency of hospital visits, said Elkington. “That’s really important. That’s going to change the landscape of what we do.”
The way Elkington sees it, technology presents a real opportunity to expand his reach. It makes the services offered more mainstream to plans and an alternative to hospital services for terminal patients.
“The sky’s the limit now that CMS has embraced the efficacy of what we do,” he said.

The News Team has gone through some significant changes in the last week. We've done away with articles and newsletters being tied together to help us reach a much higher quality for our stories that we produce. We want to ensure we have high quality articles with important information regarding the internal structure of the 501st Legion. This move also allows us to further delegate information inside the news team much quicker than before. We are always looking for feedback, so we've opened polls and comments, which can be found below every posted news article.

HERDESSA, a dry and arid system, home to Republic loyalists known as the Herdessans.
Another populous sentient species - the Clawdran - inhabit the system. Tension between the two species has been known to the Republic but has not raised concerns until recently.
With the arrival of the Hand, it is a very real possibility that the local Clawdran may be swayed to the Separatist cause. It is currently unknown if one of The Hand’s cells are present on the planet but investigating the possibility is necessary.
The Republic can not afford to allow the C.I.S. to establish a foothold in this sector. With the Korrosh Hutt Cartel advancing further into the sector, the C.I.S. may find this to be an advantageous time to strike.
The 501st Legion is deploying to the planet of Herdessa to locate and eliminate any trace of The Hand’s cell following information gathered from the Hutt. The direct location of the cell is unknown; however, we can assume they’re behind the heightened tensions between the Herdessans and Clawdrans.
There have been small pockets of riots and aggression from both sides causing even more friction than usual. Keeping peace could be beneficial for the Republic in the outing of any possible cell hiding on the planet. Allowing the Republic an upper hand in gaining further knowledge of the whereabouts of The Hand.
With the public’s call for a cure growing ever more prevalent there is a fear that the size these protests may grow unmanageable sooner rather than later, as the C.I.S. will most certainly use this and try to influence the small pockets of civil unrest into a full out war.
As of this point we are sided with the current government as they are Republic members. Any diplomacy decisions will be handled by Battalion, Company, or Platoon staff. If any civilian approaches you, DO NOT give out information about our mission, plan, or other republic information.

Sting of the Viper Net
The nature of ARMA 3 and its interface makes it seem like a fighting force can simply drag and drop its forces to conduct maneuvers like in a game of Total War. However, this is simply not the case. To coordinate movements, allied forces rely on a network of radio communications using a protocol that has recently undergone a significant update.
This protocol is Viper Net. Introduced in preparation for deployment of Mynock, Viper Net is a means of organizing radio traffic between infantry and any of their supporting elements. This week, 501st News Writer CX-X Shnuffles tunes in to RTO HQ to get the low-down on the new task frequencies. The following material is collected and paraphrased from CI-O Roadboy.
VIPER NET
CI-O: “The task frequency system or the 'Viper Net' was created to accommodate for the introduction of Mynock onto a frequency, and instead of having more callsigns on one frequency, RTO HQ designed a system where different ground units would have their own assigned frequency to be able to call in support without clogging up radio traffic for other callsigns.”
CX-X: What’s changed?
CI-O: “The 'Ground to Support' freq or '35' (once Ground to Air) now works with the Section RTOs within Mynock and the Razor Forward Air Controller. Their tasks is to assign vehicles, air or ground, to ground units’ own frequencies.
For example, hypothetically, Avalanche 1-1 requests extract for a squad and a few HVTs on 35, so Razor FAC would assign one LAAT to their task frequency on 35.1 so that they could communicate further to carry out the tasking without clogging up the traffic on 35 itself.“
CX-X: How does the new radio protocol better incorporate Mynock? Are you satisfied with said changes?
CI-O: “I am very satisfied for the changes made to better incorporate Mynock, as it means the inclusion for everyone to be able to play. I've always been one for getting everyone involved and not making anyone sit on the side bench to wait.
As an ex-Lightning pilot, I can recall occasions where there were enough LAATs to supplement the ground forces within fun ops or operations however CAS or other Lightning taskings weren't required, forcing me and my wingman to sit and wait for the situation to arise where we would be needed. I don't want anyone else to have to do the same in this day, the 501st has come a long long way since those days, and it's time to not cut anyone out.”
CX-X: As it stands now, are you satisfied with the changes made? Additionally, what changes would you like to see if any are necessary further down the road made towards improving Viper Net?
CI-O: “As it stands, RTO HQ is happy with the results. Obviously there are still tweaks to this day, but we don't think a more efficient system could have been introduced. I'm proud of those who put the time and effort in to make the system the best it could be, and to be patient with the updates and changes to best suit everyone. It wasn't an easy run, but it was accomplished.”
Mynock has designed their gun batteries to best accommodate the members manning those vehicles to ensure everyone is playing the game, while this also simplifies the understanding of how many shells will be landing on target as its always a multiple of four, there's no grey area anymore. This means that all four artillery guns in the battery will be utilized without anyone having to wait around to get their turn to shoot, instead all members are involved at all times.”
Brave UTC Cadets storm the beaches
WE’RE IN FOR SOME CHOP
CX-X: How long has the concept been in its "trial phase" so to speak? Additionally, when was the idea first drafted and by whom?
CI-O: “The trial or test phase for this system was for a good matter of months, with lots of tweaking and changes being made as each week went by with the feedback from RTOs, Razor and Mynock units. The idea of a new task frequency communications system was drafted by myself in the early months of 2019 if not earlier when Mynock was in mention, and this was discussed among RTO HQ members at the time and also went through development stages with Razor, and Captain Klein who also had ideas of how it could be programmed to run.”
CX-X: Has the transition been smooth?
CI-O: “The transition at first was far from smooth, as the ones who were testing it had to be nearly dropped into the deep end, although we did try to cushion the blow of this transition as best we could to help them understand what was going on and how to use the new system.
The introduction of the task frequencies has brought along new challenges for the RTOs and members of Razor to tackle, as they're unseen before and bring communication to a much larger scale.
The benefits of the task freqs have allowed the RTOs to expand their skills, and it has allowed for a large scale communications system for multiple callsigns to be contacting each other for different purposes without clogging up a single freq, allowing for smooth communications for everyone.”
VECTOR LOCKED IN
Though wholesale departures from established doctrine are rare, the establishment of Viper Net was a much-needed exception. Now, Avalanche forces can call upon more than just Razor for support tasking.
The unit showed that it was capable of reorganizing to handle the challenge, and deploying Mynock has paved the way for the addition of ground-based infantry support assets to come. CI-O Roadboy will take us out:
CX-X: What should we expect to see from Mynock now that we have opened the door further for them to provide armored support?
CI-O: “We should expect to Mynock to grow into the unit as they have been doing, with as much support for them being provided by our staff as possible to make their lives easier as well as ours. I look forward to further development with the new detachment and expect great things from their staff.”

The Zeta Meta
THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY
Zeta Company is available to members who have completed UTC. For all you hopefuls out there, we have breaking news on some big changes coming to Zeta.
When word reached the 501st news team of the recent reforms undergone by Zeta Company, we shipped our very own CT Ruse off to the far corners of the galaxy to find out more.
THE RESERVIST EXPERIENCE
CP DELTA, COMPANY EXECUTIVE OFFICER:
When you finish UTC, all you gotta do is fill out the Zeta application form and join the Zeta discord. Links are in my TS channel and in the main discord. After joining, Zeta applicants request their tags and search for the Zeta squad that best matches their availability by asking around or by reading the descriptions of the section rooms in TeamSpeak. Once they get into their squads they’re all set.
Zeta is here to make sure people can have a place to go. We encourage people in Zeta to go to Avalanche squad trainings so they can get themselves slotted. It’s not our job to get them slotted, it’s up to them if they get slotted or not. How long someone stays in Zeta completely depends on the trooper. Some people leave for Avalanche the same day they join Zeta. We also make sure that people in Zeta get trained in their Zeta squads so they are still on the up and up.
UTC CADET:
I think that in my limited exposure to Zeta and in regards to their Ops. I think the people in Zeta are fine, they are good people, all good troopers. I think I may have had a bad experience in the Zeta Ops because what I have seen is that people forget about their training in UTC. I don’t have full spectrum there, but that's my view of Zeta at the moment.
AVALANCHE TROOPER:
Zeta's a good place to provide a more casual environment for our cadets to grow and learn while allowing them to build better relationships with others. Through monthly check-ins, members are encouraged to take the initiative to be responsible for their own activity, giving them a chance to mark their place in the unit.
If their intention is to join Avalanche, they have the opportunity to try out with different squads to find the perfect fit. Though it may seem tedious at first, this process helps to create a stronger trooper.
THE REFORMS
CP FANCY, COMPANY COMMANDER:
I'll be 100% with you, this interview couldn't have come at a better time. We're trying to fix up how are sections work so they can mimic Avalanche times. That way Avalanche can go to specific sections of Zeta for its reserves. Section 1 will most often work with 1st Platoon and 4th Platoon, and Section 2 will most often work with 2nd Platoon. Section 3 would help 3rd Platoon. 4th Section is the home for our lower activity members and personnel who cannot attend Avalanche functions. We are also making it easier to set up Zeta members with Avalanche squad leaders.
These concepts were lost in the development of Zeta due to the growing process, and now we are reorganizing to reflect that now. I think this is a good change but it’s a lot of micro managing and a lot of data manipulation as well. At the end of the day people will hopefully say that the end result helped them save time and make processes more efficient.
Zeta serves the general infantry and as we are Reservists first and foremost, we needed to make a few changes to Zeta so it was less of a "holding area with training" to a Reservist Company. Avalanche NCOs and their leaderships have taken the helm in the training of personnel once they leave Zeta and enter the infantry. This led to the removal of our original Zeta company policy number 2, which was you have to be a trooper to transfer out of Zeta and were required to remain within Zeta for one month after UTC before you could transfer. Now, Zeta is more narrowly focused around providing Transfers and Reservists.
CP DELTA
Zeta hasn't really had a straight direction up until now. We had been trying way too many things at once. Outside of doing their check ins once in a blue moon, people were just sitting around, waiting for something to happen until they got moved into Avalanche. We are working through this currently to give Zeta a better direction. We have a better command structure. It’s 100% getting better.
We have 15 open spots in Avalanche, and if it was entirely up to me we’d get people in them. Number 1, if you have lower activity, then we have a home for you. Those people that can’t make it any of the Avalanche times have a place here in Zeta.
Number 2, we make sure that people are trained as they wait to get slotted in Avalanche overall. There are multiple Zeta squad and section operations in addition to actively reserving. We have had the occasional Zeta op as well.
And yeah, you can say that there is not much to do in Zeta. With the coming reorganization of Zeta, we are putting our foot down and we are saying: whatever you consider the old Zeta to be, this is what Zeta is now.
And remember to not be toxic, especially CP Fancy.
Having a fifth person is critical to the Avalanche fireteam dynamic. The team is still above half strength with one wounded and one to stabilize. This is not the case with four or three members. Having a healthy pool of active reserves means waving good-bye to the possibility of deploying with an under-strength squad.
When a Cadet reserves in Avalanche or the other elements, they are bringing value to the table. Before Zeta, finding a reservist was a complete crap shoot. Now, reservists are more familiar with the game’s mechanics than some of the old slotted troopers.
It really was the wild west when it came to staking a claim on reserves before this organized system was put in place. Zeta Company serves these specific needs of the community, and I order you to revere them.

Picking a General Partner
The silence, the dark, the mind, so fragile
The wish, that the streets, would have took you, when they had you
The days, the months, the years, despair
One night on my knees, here it comes, the prayer
—DMX, Who We Be
In my career, I have never seen a position in any industry with more varying criteria than General Partner at a venture capital firm. Some firms hire pure investors, some firms hire operators, some Wall Street analysts, some firms hire sales people, some firms hire lawyers, and others hire reporters. Interestingly, many different models have worked, but in all cases the criteria by which the General Partner is selected says a lot about what you should expect as an entrepreneur from the firm. With that in mind, I will explain in detail our criteria at AH in the context of the type of firm that we strive to build and our newest general partner, Scott Weiss.
When we started Andreessen Horowitz, our vision was to build the kind of venture capital firm that we would have wanted to take money from. For us that meant a broad set of capabilities for the firm and a sharp view of what kind of general partners that we wanted. Two aspects of the original vision that deeply depend on the kind of general partners that we hire are:
1. We will help develop founders into CEOs
2. We will have deep respect for the entrepreneurial process
Many VCs excel at picking companies, evaluating CEOs and bringing in professional CEOs, but generally do very little to help a promising founder develop into a CEO. We believe that founding CEOs run the very best technology companies, so naturally we wanted the firm to focus on this issue. As a founder who developed into a CEO, I know that there is no manual and it is a nearly vertical learning curve. If you have never been a CEO, the number of things that you must learn can be absolutely staggering. So staggering that you might not even be sure what to ask.
By staffing with general partners who have founded companies and run them, we can answer some of those questions without the entrepreneurs having to ask because we’ve been down the same path and made the same mistakes. Basically, our entrepreneurs can learn from our screw-ups.
Euphoria and Terror: The Entrepreneurial Process
If you have ever started a company, you most certainly know the intense level of uncertainty and anxiety that’s fundamentally part of the process. When we started Loudcloud, for a time I was so unbalanced that my insides literally felt like they were boiling. One particularly challenging day, my co-founder (and current partner at AH), Marc Andreessen said to me: “Do you know the best thing about starting a company?” I looked at him in disbelief as if to say: “there is a ‘best’ part?” He replied: “You only ever experience two emotions: euphoria and terror. And I find that lack of sleep enhances them both.”
All venture capital firms claim to love entrepreneurs, but that’s different than understanding and respecting the entrepreneurial process and the associated degree of difficulty. When the only emotions you experience are euphoria and terror, your highs are very high and your lows are very low. This kind of yo-yo emotional state can rattle a VC who may hear a massively aggressive forecast for the business one day then despondency the next. We strive to sort the emotional rollercoaster from the actual progress.
Beyond that we want to build a culture that reflects this understanding. Some elements that we have put in place include:
Be on time for meetings with entrepreneurs and pay attention—When you found a company, your entire life goes into it. Venture Capitalists in Silicon Valley are notorious for both their tardiness and distractedness. Entrepreneurs often joke about VCs who show up to meetings late then spend the entire meeting on their phones and computers. At Andreessen Horowitz, if you are late to a meeting with an entrepreneur, the fine is $10 per minute.
Always let entrepreneurs know where they stand—When you work around the clock working to build the company of your dreams and you present them to a venture capital firm, you deserve a clear response. 100% of the entrepreneurs who pitch us get a prompt and specific answer. If the answer is no, then we always provide the reasons why.
Provide informed tactical advice—Once following a game, the great baseball manager Tommy LaSorda went on a talk radio show and was second-guessed about one of his on field decisions by a listener. LaSorda succinctly replied: “this fucking job is not that fucking easy.” He basically summed up how I’ve always felt about being a CEO. As CEO, you know an incredible amount of detail about all aspects of the company: every minor bit of customer feedback, the strategies of every competitor, the exact strengths and weaknesses of the engineering organization, the things that you screwed up in the product architecture, the impending performance and scale dangers, the mood of the company, and so on. All of this data gets factored in every time you make a decision, prioritize a feature or revise the product strategy. The knowledge gap between you and any board member is usually very large and growing. As a result, naïve, unsolicited product strategy advice such as “you should build an Android app right away” is both useless and annoying. On the other hand, specific advice about techniques for integrating the new executive you just hired can be exceptionally helpful. In order to give the right kind of advice and refrain from giving the wrong kind of advice, you have to realize that running a company is not that frackin’ easy.
The General Partner Criteria at Andreessen Horowitz
With these things in mind, we developed our hiring criteria for General Partners. The actual list is quite long, so I will focus on 3 top criteria and how they reflect the firm that we are trying to build.
Has the candidate co-founded or been a very early member of the executive staff of a successful company?
The best way to understand the entrepreneurial process is to go through it. If you haven’t been through it, it’s kind of hard to learn from a book. This is particularly true for the psychological aspects of the process.
Is the candidate an expert product picker as demonstrated by a primary role in picking winning products?
In the end, regardless of our other goals, we are in the business of creating returns for our investors. It follows that we must be world class at picking investments. In venture capital, this means picking the best entrepreneurs and the best markets. An excellent proxy for those capabilities is the ability to identify and build massively successful products, because the best teams going after the biggest markets build the most successful products.
Will the smartest entrepreneurs want to work with her?
In venture capital, it’s not enough to be able to pick the best entrepreneurs; you must also have access to them. There are many VCs who may be great at picking entrepreneurs, but whom no great entrepreneur will want to work with. These VCs tend not to do so well.
Why Scott Weiss
Let’s see how our newest GP, Scott Weiss stacks up against the criteria.
Has Scott co-founded or been a very early member of the executive staff of a successful company?
Scott co-founded and ran IronPort, the leader in messaging security appliances, until their acquisition by Cisco for $830M. Check.
Prior to founding IronPort, Scott was employee #13 at Hotmail. At the time, many experts in the email market dismissed hotmail as a toy/spam system. That he was able to pick a winning consumer product then move on to found company that built a winning enterprise product says a great deal about him as a product picker.
Will the smartest entrepreneurs want to work with him?
This is the dimension where Scott shined the brightest. In reference checking him with entrepreneurs with whom he had worked, they were effusive in their praise. They said things like: “Investors as board members can be a toxic combination of high IQs, high insecurity, and lack of knowledge. Scott is the antidote for that poison. He is smart and confident, but has tremendous respect for what I go through and what it means.” Bottom line is that if I was an entrepreneur again, I’d want to work with Scott.
As with any search, our criteria turned out to be a combination of implicit and explicit characteristics. To that end, we really wanted the new GP to bring an innovative and entrepreneurial mind set to our firm as well. We wanted someone who understood and embraced our values and would take them to the next level. With Scott, we got all that and more. He actually proposed several new ideas for the firm during the interview process. One idea that I particularly like and look forward to implementing with him is 360 performance reviews for General Partners. This means that we will solicit detailed feedback from the people in our firm, the other GPs, and the entrepreneurs that the GPs work with in order to improve the performance of our general partners. I can hardly wait to read Andreessen’s reviews :). In a profession where most venture capitalists work their entire careers with no explicit feedback from the companies that they are supposed to be helping, this is a great innovation.
Finally, we have a bias and perhaps even a prejudice towards technical founders, so we were impressed to see Scott’s product picking prowess despite no formal technical background. And it’s always smart to add some diversity to the team.

building a better bay area
Pressure is on to move sanctioned homeless encampment to new location in San Jose
By Amanda del Castillo
SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- Along Ruff Drive and in an airport approach area for Mineta San Jose International Airport, is Hope Village.
The encampment was originally built Sep. 8 by homeless advocates for roughly $10,000.
RELATED: City officials looking into storage lockers for homeless in San Jose
A week after being built, the California Highway Patrol gave the initial six residents of Hope Village a deadline get off of state property.
The tents were then moved about 200 feet down Ruff Drive on SEIU property, with the understanding the location would be temporary.
Six months later, Hope Village tenants are now facing a March 30 deadline to relocate.
As it stands, the community has a fence, tents, common area, bathrooms, showers and people. Seventeen of whom say they're still struggling to get back into housing.
"You don't know where you are on that list," Colleen Guest told ABC7 News. "Am I number 4,875 or am I number four? Are you going to call me soon? Are we going to be out of this situation soon? I mean, this is painful."
Guest, her 92-year-old mother and her son became homeless in 2014. She explained the three lived out of a trailer and would go from location to location to live.
Her mother and son are now in separate facilities, while Guest lives in Hope Village.
Guest's list of questions and concerns is growing, as she and her neighbors now face the end-of-March deadline.
In the first of two meetings on Monday, many residents of the San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood debated whether Hope Village encampment should move into their community.

Pressure is on to move #HopeVillage— a sanctioned homeless encampment in SJ. A group of 17 homeless adults have until March 30th to leave the Ruff Drive location, one in an airport approach for SJC. Today, there were two meetings on the move. Details at 11 p.m. #abc7now pic.twitter.com/F4tLxUO6ag
— Amanda del Castillo (@AmandaABC7) March 19, 2019
The initial thought was to use Santa Clara Valley Water District property at Willow and LeLong Streets to temporarily house the 17 homeless individuals.
Willow Glen resident, Joaquin Galaza spoke publicly about his opposition. However, he explained his concern isn't entirely toward Hope Village, rather the homeless population already there.
"It's a much greater problem than what Hope Village can solve," he said.
Galaza explained there has been three fence fires over 18-months, adding safety in the area is highly questionable.
"I won't let my wife jog down that trail. None of our neighbors will," he explained. "I'm a 6'4 former Marine and I don't want to go down there. It's just not safe."
Monday evening, the Water District voted against moving Hope Villagers to the Willow Glen location. Instead, the district said it would consider other sites.
At a second meeting Monday, Mayor Sam Liccardo joined Willow Glen neighbors and other city leaders at the Gardner Community Center along West Virginia Street.
Mayor Liccardo reminded visitors he has never advocated for sanctioned encampments. Instead, he emphasized his idea of building a better Bay Area relies on building more affordable housing.
"The idea of moving sanctioned encampments around from one site in the city to another is not the long-term solution," Liccardo explained.
RELATED: Safe parking spots to open at several East Bay churches
He explained the Federal Aviation Administration said the Ruff Drive location is not zoned for residential use.
"The federal government trumps any city authority," the Mayor told ABC7 News.
According to the 2017 Santa Clara County Homeless Census and Survey, more than 4,000 homeless people were living in San Jose. Of that group, 74-percent were unsheltered, with a portion living along urban streams.
On Wednesday, the San Jose Housing Department will host a community meeting regarding the move at the Elks Lodge on 444 W Alma Ave.
City Council is expected to discuss the topic on March 26th.
Hope Villagers say the camp is their only hope.
"The biggest fear in my future is the 30th," Colleen Guest said. "Because I'm not sure where we're going to go."

If temperatures are too hot, plants and animals as well as the workers tending to them suffer greatly. If there is too little rain, or too much, crops will fail. Climate change is here and we now face these challenges every year as the world breaks its previous record for global temperature. The trend of rising heat-trapping, greenhouse gas emissions is not expected to reverse any time soon. Can farmers adapt to the new climate? Will temperatures continue to rise indefinitely, or is there something that can be done to slow the changes? How will policies affect farming, which is in itself a significant source of greenhouse gases? Drs. Tom Hertel and Jeff Dukes answer these questions and more in this chapter on climate change and its impact on our ability to feed the world.
Dr. Thomas W. Hertel is the founder and executive director of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) and is a distinguished professor of agricultural economics and adjunct professor of economics at Purdue University. He is a Fellow, and Past-President, of the Agricultural and Applied Economics Association (AAEA). His book, Poverty and the WTO (co-edited with L. Alan Winters), received the AAEA Quality of Communication award.
Dr. Jeffrey S. Dukes is the director of the Purdue Climate Change Research Center. He is a professor in the Department of Forestry and Natural Resources and Biological Sciences at Purdue University. Dukes also leads the INTERFACE research coordination network, and directs the Boston-Area Climate Experiment (BACE).

Ultimate contradiction, Part II: Dialectical history, evolution, and consciousness
by joellazarus • September 22, 2016 • 2 Comments
You can listen to a recording of this post here.
Hello, dear friends!
So, I started a series of blogposts recently by talking about my recent attempts to try to make sense of what is happening in our world right now. Clearly, some serious stuff is happening – some horrifically, unbearably awful stuff…but also some incredible, mind-blowing, exciting stuff too. I suggested that we as humanity are experiencing what I called ‘ultimate contradiction’. It’s a contradiction because the old is dying and out of the old the new is emerging. It’s ultimate because this is contradiction on a planetary, species level.
I said that I’d first explain a bit more about the little I understand about the dialectical nature of history, social systems, and life. I’d then offer evidence for my claim of ultimate contradiction in several fundamental spheres of human life: economy, politics, social relations, and ecology. Of course, it’s vital to emphasise that these sectors aren’t actually separate at all, but are entirely intersected expressions of human life. But, we need to look at the separate jigsaw pieces first before we attempt to put them into a coherent picture of the whole later.
In this post, I’ll talk briefly about what little I understand of the dialectical understanding of history. I need first to be straight with you and tell you that I myself understand very little, that I’m at the very frontiers of my understanding and knowledge, and that, if you want to challenge, critique, add to this offering in any way, please do. I’m here not as teacher in the traditional sense. I seek to teach; I seek to learn; and I seek, through dialogue with others, to produce knowledge that can help us create a better world for all.
Dialectical history
The idea of the dialectic has a long and global history. For a long time, I heard this word in relation to Marxist philosophy, but couldn’t really get it – a bit like the word ‘praxis’ too. But, now, I see it not just as a complex philosophical concept, but as quite an intuitive and natural phenomenon.
At its simplest, a dialectical way of thinking sees human history as an unfolding, evolving process driven by contradictions in successive systems of social relations. I understand history to mean the evolutionary journey of human beings across time, but it is more narrowly defined as the time since human beings developed ‘civilisation’, above all writing, soon after the agricultural revolution that took place around 12,000 years ago.
In Western thought, Georg Friedrich Hegel is the modern philosopher most associated with modernising dialectical thought. For Hegel, history was driven by ‘Geist’, which can be translated from German both as ‘mind’ and as ‘spirit’. So, there’s this supernatural, metaphysical force driving history forward and the reason for the journey is the gradual unfolding of reason and freedom.
Because, for Hegel, the driving force of history is Geist, he is known as an ‘idealist’ philosopher, i.e. ideas shape material reality. Hegel’s idealism was, crudely put, inverted by Karl Marx into an historical materialism that sees history driven by the social relations of production, consumption, and exchange. So, for historical materialists, human beings make themselves, each other, and history when they use their own and collective mind, bodies, and nature to make and grow other things.
(BTW, I don’t see Marx as a materialist in any crude way because he clearly argued that the production of ideas, beliefs, ideology – mental production – was equally a social relation of production and was inextricably connected with physical production. Subsequent Marxist thinkers have made huge advances in developing this vital area of understanding. Indeed, nowadays, any clear boundaries between economic and cultural production are clearly blurring online in the emerging realm of ‘immaterial labour‘. That said, it’s clear that changes in material relations prefigure and provoke changes in ideology and culture. For example, capitalism emerged before the major theorists and ideologues of capitalism and socialism did.)
Anyway, whether you’re an idealist or a materialist, the key dialectical insight is that every reigning ideology/system of social relations has been an imperfect system pregnant with contradictions. From an historical materialist perspective, for example, you can’t do better than to start by quoting Marx and Engels’ classic line from The Communist Manifesto:
What I understand Karl and Freddy to be saying here is that every system of social relations human beings have had so far in our history has been a class system – be it slavery, caste, feudalism, capitalism, or, indeed, state examples of ‘really existing communism’ too. Since the agricultural revolution when humans first were able to produce a surplus large enough to sustain large sedentary populations, i.e. towns and cities, we’ve had society divided into classes: the owners of land; the owners of the means of production; peasants and/or slaves to work the land; wage labourers and/or slaves charged with economic production; merchants for internal and external trade; financiers to facilitate economic activity; women and slaves to reproduce society and to pleasure men; and an intelligentsia and priesthood designated to give ideological legitimacy to the prevailing social order. And invariably classes were structured around hierarchical and oppressive institutions of racial and gendered divisions too, of course.
So, every form of class society is founded on interconnected class antagonisms and structural contradictions that must, did, do, and will lead to systemic crisis AND, eventually,…to the birth of a new social order. However, what is equally vital to emphasise is that there is no mechanical determinism at work here. Is it us, human beings, who make history and there are countless factors, factions, and fates at play. Let’s cite another Marx classic!…
So, we’re part of historic systems that we can’t act outside of, but we CAN absolutely respond to our historical conditions and contribute to either the maintenance or disruption and transcendence of our current systems.
Social antagonisms and structural contradictions
Let’s offer some clear examples to make this more concrete.
The debate among historians over the transition from feudalism to capitalism centred in Europe is a long and rich one that I only know a bit about. It’s generally agreed, however, that the transition took place over several centuries; that there were countless interacting forces at work; and that the transition in no way took place in any kind of linear fashion. But, we can clearly see the gradual increase and concentration of private land ownership that enriched large landowners and forces peasants into sharecropping; we can see merchants bound up with colonialism, violently forcing open and developing world markets and developing slavery-based forms of commodity production; we can see the origins of the modern corporation and the concomitant emergence of financial capital alongside this colonialism. These forces and social classes have their origins in the feudal system, but emerge, ultimately, to lead the rise against the bastions of feudal power – the monarchy and the church – in the 17th and 18th Centuries. So, here are examples of social antagonisms and structural contradictions driving dialectical history.
As for capitalism, we can see many structural contradictions within capitalism. Perhaps most famous is the insight that the rate of profit tends to fall, leading inevitably to a crisis. This is because, while profit (surplus value) can only be produced by workers and nature, individual capitalists try to win temporary higher profits and market share by mechanisation (replacing workers with machines). But, sooner or later, other competing capitalists follow suit and, over time, the general rate of profit begins to fall. Another contradiction is that workers are also consumers, so capitalists seek to minimise labour costs in order to maximise profits, but if they impoverish workers too much they don’t have consumers able to buy their products. That’s just two examples that can drive capitalism towards crisis. The biggest structural contradiction of all, of course, is that capitalism is a system that necessitates incessant growth in production, consumption, and, therefore, extraction, while we inhabit an ecosystem of finite resources that requires us to tend to its health and flourishing. More about that in a later post too.
As for social antagonisms in capitalism, in Chapter One of the Communist Manifesto, Marx (him again!) and Engels famously claimed that ‘the bourgeoisie (the capitalist class) produces its own gravediggers’. The gravediggers in question, for Marx and Engels, were the working class, the proletariat – a class of people created by the very conditions that developed capitalism. In Europe, the proletariat was created through the expropriation and enclosure of and clearances from common land, its urbanisation into the towns and cities, and its forging in the punitive factories of early industrial capitalism.
It is widely claimed that Marx and Engels’ prediction has been proved false. In the hubristic days of the 1990s, it was claimed that Marxism had died alongside the Soviet Union and that history itself was over. Francis Fukuyama, an academic-cum-US policy wonk, played the part of a revived Hegel, claiming that history had now culminated in the ultimate victory of American-style consumerist capitalism…
And, yet, the contradiction, the antagonism, between capital and labour remains absolutely fundamental to our lives and futures. How else can we begin to understand the profound and, I believe, terminal crisis that capitalism now experiences today? Nowadays, to paraphrase Michael Hardt and Antonio Negri, the factory today is the entire world and we can see a crisis in which capital is seeking to impose ever harsher costs and pressures on human and non-human life in order to revive its continued system of accumulation. Evidence of this crisis I will provide in the next blogpost in this series.
Dialectics, evolution, and consciousness
I started this section by saying that the dialectic was at heart a simple, intuitive idea, but then I went off on a historical jaunt for a bit. But, it is just saying that the very structural forces that drive the system, because of social antagonisms and structural contradictions, also drive the system to crisis and the development of new social forces that lead the historical process of its ultimate breakdown and transcendence. Pregnancy is a good metaphor: the old gives birth to the new. Just like pregnancy, it can, sadly, be protracted and painful. But, where the metaphor ends is that children don’t generally try to kill their parents! Yet, it seems definitely fruitful to see evolution itself as dialectical – species evolve, hit problems caused by contradictions in their interactions with ecosystems, and resolve them, taking them to a more complex form of life.
The most amazing thing about dialectical approaches to history is that, of course, the people presenting history in this way have tended to argue that theirs is the great climax of history and that they are the prophetic voice of history made incarnate. And, unsurprisingly, they tend to be white men! So, when Hegel realised that the climax or endpoint of history was when Geist awakened to itself, he started to thinking that he was the embodiment of Geist and so the authoritarian militaristic Prussian state he lived in must be the ultimate social expression of freedom! And the racism runs deep here. Hegel had a lot to say about the French Revolution of 1789, but what did he have to say about an equally historically profound event – the Haitian Revolution that began two years later – an event described by Susan Buck-Morss as ‘the trial by fire for the ideals of the French Enlightenment? He famously had lots to say about the master-slave dialectical relationship which he saw as driving the unfolding of human freedom in history, i.e. that slaves could only be liberated through their own resistance, but he remained silent over Haiti. Human history, it seems, for Hegel, was made only by white European men.
It could also be fairly argued that there has long been a religious eschatology imbued in Marxism. I can empathise with this in the sense that if you’re experiencing injustice and violence and think that you only have one life, but eschew organised religion, it’s very appealing to want to believe in and preach a utopian revolutionary vision. We all need utopian visions and we CAN build heaven on Earth.
So, yes, maybe everyone at every time in human history thought that theirs was the key period for humanity, but I am still convinced that this is the crucial moment because of the planetary scale and the very existential threat that our current crisis presents to us. I am also convinced of this by the emergent thinking of a growing number who are arguing, both scientifically, philosophically, and spiritually, for the oneness of life; for the Earth as a living, conscious, evolving entity; and for human beings as simply the most complex expression of Earth’s evolving consciousness.
So, again, there’s this breakthrough moment of evolutionary consciousness waking up to itself, and this breakthrough, combined with the scientific, technological knowledge and ethical and spiritual wisdom we possess, is the strongest source of my hope for our future. But, I’m only really learning about this now, so I’ll return to that in later posts.
So, that’s my brief and limited understanding of dialectical history. It’s a starting point to explore what I’m calling ‘ultimate contradiction’, and I’ll continue this exploration in the economic realm in the next post.

Special Report: NewFronts
The NewFronts Need to Shed the Sexy and Start Selling Safety
By Jeanine Poggi. Published on April 28, 2017.

Forget the glitz. This year's NewFronts are all about digital publishers taking their medicine: Mounting concerns about digital advertising are sending advertisers into the Digital Content NewFronts less interested in dazzle than ever before. And some publishers that went big in years past, notably AOL and BuzzFeed, are hosting private client meetings instead.
"There needs to be a buttoning-down and a return to basics," said Jon Stimmel, chief investment officer at the media-buying heavyweight UM. "Brand safety will be front and center."
On that score, all eyes will be especially focused on YouTube, whose NewFronts pitch to buyers comes soon after major advertisers, from AT&T to Walmart, fled the site amid press reports of their ads showing up on racist and terrorist videos. The company has since toughened controls to make itself safer for marketers, but brands still want more clarity from digital publishers about everywhere their ads might run.
U.S. DIGITAL VIDEO ADVERTISING
The NewFronts have become less a market for digital video in the mold of TV's upfronts and more a showcase. But year-round video ad spending is rising quickly.
Source: Magna, March 2017.
YouTube executives aren't expected to address the situation outright when they take the stage at the Javits Center on Thursday, however. Instead, they'll emphasize "why YouTube matters to your brand," said Tara Walpert Levy, VP-agencies, YouTube.
"We are going to remind them of all the reasons they love YouTube," she added.
That includes boasting about how YouTube captures audiences that are continuing to shift their viewing from TV to mobile. Last year, YouTube claimed that it reaches more 18-to-49-year-olds on mobile alone than any TV network. This year, it will pitch itself as a complement to TV. Marketers who buy YouTube in addition to TV reach 25% more millennials on average than those that buy TV alone, Walpert Levy said. It will also keep pushing its Google Preferred platform, which packages content that YouTube calculates is the most popular and engaging. The company will make its six-second ad format available in Google Preferred inventory for the first time.
Even if the YouTube brand revolt isn't explicitly mentioned, everyone from Hulu to PopSugar will take the opportunity to assure marketers that their content is high-caliber and brand-safe. Many are likely to also stress transparency, verification, third-party audits and viewability. "It isn't the sexiest thing to talk about, but it is necessary," Stimmel said.
Conde Nast will send a message to the industry that it needs to trade on brand safety, said Jim Norton, president of revenue and chief business officer, adding that the business has gotten away from that principle.
The company, whose brands include Vogue and Vanity Fair, will go heavy on the quality of its own content at its presentation Tuesday -- and ask agency and client executives, "Do you know where your ads are running?"
Advertisers want more control over content and transparency over where the content comes from, said Ben Winkler, chief investment officer at OMD.
To that end, Defy Media recently brought all of its content producers in-house. "So instead of talking about influencers or YouTubers, they will now be talking about employees," Mr. Winkler said. "It adds a level of control."
Hulu will spend some time focused on measurement, with plans to announce partnerships that will better help deliver business results to clients, said Peter Naylor, senior VP-advertising sales, Hulu. The streaming video platform will also introduce some new products related to interactive advertising in the living room.
And Twitter will make its first foray into the NewFronts as it invests more in its video strategy. The social platform is expected to focus on its live video programming and its broadcast and cable TV partners.
In the way of brand trust, news organizations like the New York Times and BBC.com will be discussing how they are combating fake news.
The Times, which has titled its presentation "Truth + Dare," will "showcase the many ways Times journalists work to find the truth ... and will 'dare' brand marketers to use that same momentum when they think about the best ways to tell their own stories with The Times," according to a release.
Similarly, BBC.com plans to showcase its core journalism values.
This year it is about fake news versus quality journalism, said David Grant, president, PopSugar Studios.
"We have seen a greater interest from our audience around politics and how things going on in the world affect them," Mr. Grant said. PopSugar, which had its start as a celebrity news site, has spent more time over the past year or so evolving its content to include more on the impact of current events, like women's health.
Brand safety will likely overshadow much else, including last year's Next Big Thing: virtual reality. During the 2016 NewFronts, everyone from PopSugar to AOL announced new VR content and VR-designated studios.
The Times does plan to discuss augemented reality, audio and Snapchat, among other things.
"VR will be a box that is checked, and if anyone doesn't mention it, it will raise eyebrows," Winkler said. "But I don't think anyone will spend a quarter of their presentation talking about VR like The New York Times did last year."
NewFronts Year by Year
The NewFronts date back to presentations at Digitas starting in 2008, but have expanded over time and showcased something different every year.
The Interactive Advertising Bureau takes a role as NewFronts gain traction; crowds overflow.
Charming homegrown YouTube stars steal the spotlight from "professional" content producers.
Branded content appeals to marketers more than prebaked but unproven shows.
Trendy VR and 360 video overshadow "traditional" digital video.
Boring brand safety is poised to push cool gimmicks to the side.

Ruby never asked for the abilities that almost cost her her life. Now she must call upon them on a daily basis, leading dangerous missions to bring down a corrupt government and breaking into the minds of her enemies. Other kids in the Children’s League call Ruby “Leader”, but she knows what she really is: a monster.
When Ruby is entrusted with an explosive secret, she must embark on her most dangerous mission yet: leaving the Children’s League behind. Crucial information about the disease that killed most of America’s children—and turned Ruby and the others who lived into feared and hated outcasts—has survived every attempt to destroy it. But the truth is only saved in one place: a flashdrive in the hands of Liam Stewart, the boy Ruby once believed was her future—and who now wouldn’t recognize her.
As Ruby sets out across a desperate, lawless country to find Liam—and answers about the catastrophe that has ripped both her life and America apart—she is torn between old friends and the promise she made to serve the League. Ruby will do anything to protect the people she loves. But what if winning the war means losing herself?
Roses and Rot by Kat Howard

Home Elections Wisconsin Democrats vow to register the 200,000 voters purged from the rolls
FILE - In this Nov. 6, 2018, file photo, Dan Chase steps out of a voting booth at Town of Hamilton Town Hall in West Salem, Wis. A judge's ruling to purge up to 234,000 voter registrations in swing state Wisconsin had Democrats vowing Monday, Dec. 16, 2019 to double down on efforts to make sure anyone kicked off the rolls is able to re-register before the 2020 presidential election.(Peter Thomson/La Crosse Tribune via AP, File)

Wisconsin Democrats vow to register the 200,000 voters purged from the rolls
A judge ruled the state could purge the voters who didn't respond to a letter asking for address confirmation within 30 days.
Democrats in the key swing state of Wisconsin vowed Monday to double down on efforts to ensure that any voters whose registrations are nullified by a judge’s recent ruling will be able to register again before the 2020 presidential election.
Legal appeals could delay for months the judge’s order Friday to immediately purge more than 200,000 voters who didn’t respond within 30 days to letters seeking to confirm their addresses. The case is expected to go all the way to the Wisconsin Supreme Court, which is controlled 5-2 by conservatives.
The Wisconsin Democratic Party will use the state open records law to obtain the names of everyone who is purged and then target its efforts to "systematically" contact those most likely to be Democrats so they can re-register, said state party chairman Ben Wikler. Voters do not register by political party in Wisconsin.
"This is an organizing challenge, not a crisis," Wikler said. He said purging the voters "just adds to our to-do list. It’s a reason to work, not to freak out."
Even if the number of voters who didn’t move but are tossed from the rolls is small, Democrats fear the impact on the election could be huge. Donald Trump carried the state by fewer than 23,000 votes in 2016.
"I won the race for governor by less than 30,000 votes," Democratic Gov. Tony Evers tweeted on Friday. "This move pushed by Republicans to remove 200,000 Wisconsinites from the voter rolls is just another attempt at overriding the will of the people and stifling the democratic process."
The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin, which sought to intervene in the lawsuit but was rejected by the judge on Friday, is also looking into ways to assist people who may be purged, said the group’s executive director, Erin Grunze.
The Wisconsin Elections Commission, which has an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, debated a GOP-offered motion Monday that would have required the purge to happen within seven days of the judge entering his order. It died, on a party-line 3-3 vote, with Democrats arguing it made no sense to immediately purge the voters given that appeals were likely.
The judge's ruling was a win for conservatives, who argued that state law requires the elections commission to deactivate voters who didn’t respond within 30 days to a mailing sent in October flagging them as potentially having moved. The commission wanted to wait to remove anyone until 2021, citing problems in 2017 when voters who had not moved were tossed off the rolls.
The judge refused a request from the state Department of Justice to put his ruling on hold. He had not filed a written ruling as of midday Monday, a step that has to happen before any appeal can be filed or any voters can be purged.
Democrats on the elections commission said it was cavalier and political grandstanding to try and force the purge to happen within a week of that order given the expected appeals. But Republican Commissioner Bob Spindell said it was an "outrage" to keep more than 200,000 people on the rolls who shouldn’t be there.
"Are we going to keep people on the rolls who shouldn’t be there or are we going to have clean election rolls?" Spindell said.
The affected voters were identified as having potentially moved, based on a review of documents indicating that they did, such as state Division of Motor Vehicles records. Milwaukee and Madison, the largest cities and base of Democratic support, account for 23% of the letters that were sent to voters who may have moved, based on a Milwaukee Journal Sentinel analysis. More than half of the letters went to voters in municipalities where Democrat Hillary Clinton defeated Trump in 2016, the analysis found.
Wikler said the Democratic Party had already identified voters who had likely moved to be contacted to re-register. Having the list of those targeting for purging just provides another data point to help Democrats find voters who need to update their registration, he said.
The number of voters who would be purged would be something less than the 234,000 who received the mailings. Anyone who responded within the 30-day window to affirm that they still lived at their current address or had moved and already re-registered would not be deactivated. As of Dec. 5, nearly 29,000 voters had done that, but it’s unclear how many were within the 30-day window. That leaves about 215,000 others who likely face deactivation.
Wisconsin allows same-day voter registration, but it requires photo ID and proof of address. Wisconsin has about 3.3 million registered voters out of about 4.5 million people of voting age.

Here’s a quick look at what we announced today at Google I/O, our annual developer conference:
Developers, the heart of Google Play
Just a year after launch, there are now more ways than ever for developers to monetize their apps in Google Play, and for users to discover and enjoy apps and entertainment. We’ve passed 48 billion app downloads, with more than 2.5 billion downloads in the last month alone. Today, we launched a range of new tools, including services for game developers. For users, this means that you’ll be able to challenge your friends on Google+ to real-time multiplayer competitions, or race against them to the top of the leaderboards. (Check out a few of our favorites: World of Goo, Super Stickman Golf 2, Beach Buggy Blitz, Eternity Warriors 2, and Osmos).
Our library is your library: Google Play Music All Access
Google Play Music All Access is a new monthly music subscription service that lets you listen to millions of songs across your devices. You can create a radio station from any song or artist you love, browse recommendations from our expert music team or explore by genre. And when millions of songs just aren’t enough, Google Play Music lets you combine our collection with your own collection. You can store 20,000 songs for free in the cloud and listen to them alongside the All Access catalog. It’s $9.99 a month, and you can try it free for the first month. Or better yet, start your trial by June 30 and you’ll pay only $7.99 a month.
Google Play for Education: Android goes to school
Imagine a world in which all classrooms and students are connected to the web. While such a vision will take the efforts of many, Google has contributed to this endeavor through Google Apps and Chromebooks. Today we are excited to expand Google’s education offering by combining the ease and portability of Nexus tablets with highly engaging educational content. Through this new program educators will be able to manage tablets and discover, purchase, and distribute content through Google Play for Education--whether they're in charge of one classroom or one thousand. We’re inviting developers to get started now to create world class educational apps for grades K-12. Schools interested in learning more can sign up here.
Samsung Galaxy S4 on Google Play
Next month, we are adding a new Android device to the store to join our current lineup of Nexus phones and tablets. We’ve worked closely with Samsung to create a special Samsung Galaxy S4 exclusively for Google Play. It brings together cutting edge hardware from Samsung with Google’s latest software and services -- including the user experience that ships with our popular Nexus devices. Starting June 26, it will be available with no contract for $649, supporting both T-Mobile and AT&T, with LTE.
Hugo Barra VP, Product Management, Android
As our developer audience knows, Android is more than simply a phone or tablet. It’s a platform, an ecosystem, and an opportunity for developers around the world to build exciting services and apps that reach millions of people every day. The flexibility and openness of Android provides developers--and Google, through services like Google Now--the opportunity to build simple, beautiful experiences across multiple devices.
Really? Samsung is the phone of your choice? You should have thought about HTC.
Mak Arora May 15, 2013 at 11:41 AM

Hector Hernandez May 16, 2013 at 6:38 AM
All you folks commenting must have been living under a rock. HTC fell asleep 2-3 years ago. Samsung delivers a better product, hands down. Do some research

Proletarian issue 18 (June 2007)
‘Victories and defeats’ in the motor industry
The deeper capitalism goes into crisis, the more essential it becomes to measure ‘victories’ and ‘defeats’, not by the immediate practical outcome alone (ie, which class won the battle), but by the political lessons learned (ie, what ideological progress was made toward winning the class war).
Recent developments in the motor industry illustrate the point. The defeats faced by car workers, as they watched jobs drain away from Vauxhall at Luton, Ford at Dagenham and Peugeot at Ryton, were blows suffered by the class.
But much worse than these blows in the long term were the defeatist politics with which opportunism served up these defeats, as the unions pursued their ‘pragmatic’ policy of limiting their activity to negotiating the ‘least worst’ redundancy terms, alternating with chauvinist campaigns against ‘unfair foreign competition’. Such misleadership not only saps workers’ resolve in the immediate battle, but also weakens the class ideologically for the battles ahead.
And some of the ‘victories’ claimed by opportunist leadership are as damaging, or more damaging, than some of the defeats, looked at in terms of what is gained or lost in class consciousness. For example, consider the political message smuggled in by these gentry when the anarchy of production spins the bottle back in favour of some ‘lucky’ car workers on Merseyside.
No sooner did General Motors announce that the Vauxhall plant at Ellesmere Port will stay open a bit longer so that the new Astra can get built – obviously a welcome relief at least in the short term for workers in this locality – than T&G General Secretary Tony Woodley popped up to draw the worst possible conclusion from this development. Expressing his joy at this “boost for the car industry in the UK after too many disappointments”, Woodley gushed that “It is a strong indication that when we fight hard and fight together for manufacturing we win”.
Who is this “we” to which he refers? Clearly not the 4,500 Belgian workers at the GM Europe plant in Antwerp, where Astra production will cease in 2010. Nor in truth is he really talking about British workers either, except as auxiliaries drafted in to help fight a trade war on behalf of ‘their own’ capitalists. It is the “we” of class collaboration, not the “we” of class solidarity. It is the “we” that urges workers to depend, not upon their own class strength, but upon the ‘patriotic’ efforts of the Northwest Regional Development Agency to feed GM enough grant aid sweeteners to lure them away from Antwerp. And it is the “we” that so completely identifies the fate of workers with the fate of their exploiters that “fighting hard and fighting together” means actively helping to perfect that exploitation.
So it is that Jonathan Browning, GM’s number two executive in Europe, was able to brag that the thumbs up for Ellesmere Port “signals a lot of hard work successfully completed at the plant to turn round productivity”, adding ominously that he expects productivity to rise a further 25 or 30 percent “going forward”. (‘Ellesmere Port wins replacement Astra’ by Christine Buckley, The Times, 18 April 2007)
Every move workers make to resist capitalist exploitation, even the tiniest of steps, is a welcome demonstration of the fact that the working class, even when burdened by the direst opportunist leadership, remains still a thorn in the side of the bourgeoisie. But we need to learn not to trust the phoney triumphalism of the opportunists at least as much as their defeatism. We need to understand correctly both the defeats and the successes in the war of attrition between capital and labour, confident in the knowledge that, once possessed of an ideology equal to the tasks that history sets for it, the proletariat will be invincible.

Intensity, Eminence and Mystique: The Japanese House Lays a Sound Foundation
The Japanese House: not an architectural masterpiece; not a national landmark; no, The Japanese House is, in reality, an indie music gem that certainly should not be ignored. The stage persona of twenty-year-old British muse Amber Bain, The Japanese House offers a unique style that can only be best described as haunting, ethereal, and everything your ears never knew they needed. Bain utilizes The Japanese House in such a way that she successfully harbors an idiosyncrasy that ultimately becomes addictive; masterfully blending luminous vocals with dreamy instrumentals so as to create tracks truly like no other.
If you had not yet heard of The Japanese House until now, that’s OK. Bain only just released her first track under the pseudonym earlier this year: a supernal, captivating three-minute track entitled “Still.” The tune showcased Bain’s magnetic vocals and knack for mixing instrumentals; proving her to be an act not to be ignored.
Listen: “Still” – The Japanese House
The utter fascination with The Japanese House may also be due in part to a particularly noticeable attribute: for the first few months of The Japanese House’s existence, Amber Bain was almost entirely anonymous. There were very few photos of Bain online, and her social media didn’t offer very many clues, either. Images posted never offered any possible hint of the face behind the voice. Bain’s anonymity, when subsequently combined with her addicting and haunting tunes, created an aura of mystique and fascination that continued to draw people to her.
The Japanese House (Amber Bain) – Source: Facebook
Since her formal musical debut with “Still,” Bain and The Japanese House have just continued to grow in popularity. She subsequently released her debut EP, Pools To Bathe In (Dirty Hit), which serves as an alluring, hypnotizing Indie treasure that firmly separates The Japanese House from anyone and everyone. It would not be unfair, however, to compare Bain’s use of instrumentals to that of, say, The 1975: Matty Healy and George Daniel serve as producers on almost all of Bain’s tracks. When presented side-by-side, this becomes notably apparent; Bain’s use of beatific synth blended with interspersing drum beats and the occasional guitar riff are all token markers of a classic The 1975 track. That’s not to say that the influence isn’t well-received, however; it most definitely complements the inimitable sound that Bain is trying to achieve with The Japanese House.
Most recently, The Japanese House released two new tracks: the enchanting and seraphic “Cool Blue,” and the empyreal and haunting “Clean.” The former was most recently released, on the 15th of September, and blends Bain’s distinct, heavy vocals with a divergent, flouncing backing track. The latter, released on the 7th of September, is a stunning example of Indie synth-pop gone so, so right: an evocative, emotional track with a tangible intensity that is pushed even further by Bain’s deep, yearning vocals and the palpable, repeated lyric “I was good.” Whether it was intentional or not, “Clean” evokes sympathy–and perhaps even empathy–thanks heavily in part to its impassioned redundancy.
Listen: “Clean” – The Japanese House
Though The Japanese House is still very much in its infancy, it is not too far off to believe that this will inevitably go somewhere great. Amber Bain is an alluring figure, and The Japanese House fosters a unique vibe unlike anything else presently on the music scene. Fascination will continue to grow, and popularity will follow suit. The Japanese House, like any great architectural work, has been built soundly and successfully; a solid foundation that will not be destroyed.

Warrior Lacrosse Defeats Del Lago on Senior Night
The Warriors hosted Del Lago High School for their fourth league game of the season on Tuesday, May 12. As the team’s last home game for the season, the pre-game festivities included recognition of the Senior players and their families.
Fittingly, strong offensive play by Seniors Mason Roth, Nate Apeli, and Luke Wilson set the tone for the game, as they led the way for Warrior scoring. Kellen Bruce, Matt Kim, and Max Henderson held strong on defense, limiting Del Lago’s scoring opportunities throughout the evening.
In the end, the Warriors won 9-0. Next, they travel to Foothills Christian on May 14. The game begins at 5:15 PM, and we hope to see lots of Warrior Fans in the stands!

What I’m Watching: I Sell the Dead
Those of you who know me, know that every so often I have movie nights with a couple of friends. And on those movie nights, we usually watch horror flicks. Any kind. They could be quirky, weird, craptastic, good, alarming, horrifying, unintentionally funny, or any combination thereof. Often, my cinematic contributions to the evening’s festivities are the result of dredging up the weirdest of the Netflix recommendations that come my way. Sometimes, they defy all logic as to what I’ve watched or what data they’ve mined that would bring certain titles to my notice. I Sell the Dead is one of those titles.
Not all that surprisingly, I Sell the Dead is the story of a graverobber, and takes place in a time and place that is only established by its lack of cars, abundance of thatched rooftops and predilection for guillotining the unfortunately sentenced. So…the 18th…ish? century? Maybe? In…America? Perhaps? Or maybe France. Or England. Which is kind of an impressive feat, since the movie was largely shot on Staten Island, which up until now has been known for both a giant mall and a giant landfill. Opponents of rampant consumerism would ask what’s the difference.
Fun fact: Staten Island’s Fresh Kills Landfill was once not only the world’s largest landfill, but also the world’s largest man-made structure. (Think about that for a while.) Thankfully, it stopped receiving garbage in 2001 and is now being redeveloped into a park. Where the garbage goes now I do not know but Fresh Kills had been pretty well tapped out, so it’s good to know that era has ended.
Anyway, moving on. Arthur Blake, said robber, is in prison, awaiting execution for a murder he claims to have not committed. Arthur is played by Dominic Monaghan, who…
Dominic Monaghan.
OK, really? Am I the only person who recognizes the name “Dominic Monaghan”? Because I’ve actually had this conversation with more than a few people:
Me: blah blah blah see preceding paragraphs and it stars Dominic Monaghan.
Anyone else I’ve ever spoken to: Who?
Me: Dominic Monaghan.
Anyone else: …???… *head scratch*
Me: *sigh* —>
Anyone else: Oh! The Lost guy!
Me: Yeah, the Lost guy. He was also a hobbit, in three movies that most of the world saw at least once. Remember? The much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, which has been a beloved fixture in our cultural lexicon since its original publication in 1954?
Anyone else: …errrrhhmmmm…
~~~Note to Dominic Monaghan: Hire a more proactive publicist.~~~
Anyway. Dominic Monaghan, awaiting execution for a crime he didn’t commit, is in a prison cell, offering the story of his life of misadventures as a cautionary tale. The priest who comes in to hear his confession is played by Ron Perlman. Yeah, Ron Perlman. If you don’t think the idea of Ron Perlman as a priest is horrifying enough, then imagine the terror you would feel if Ron Perlman were to father a child with Barbara Hershey.
And then? Take that gut reaction, that nauseating, stomach-dropping burst of fight-or-flight adrenaline, and wrap your head around the concept of Father Perlman. Frightened yet? Good.
(There are those of you who may think I unfairly pick on Barbara Hershey and her ginormous teeth. Perhaps you’re right; this is, after all, the second time I’ve made reference to her and the alien from Alien. But, she’s also done it to herself, with her penchant for plastic surgery, which has stretched her skin into an unnatural rictus and given her a permanent gaping maw. I could, perhaps, go on about the unfair demands of the entertainment industry on women and physical appearance–as this is a legitimate issue with plenty of room for concern–but that’s a different blog for a different time. As for Ron Perlman, he’s just blessed with a mouth full of enamel Chiclets. I’m sure he’s aiming his chompers at me and laughing all the way to the bank. Well played, Ron Perlman. Well played.)
The movie is primarily a flashback, with Arthur as the narrator of his own life. It’s also clearly got its own tongue planted firmly in its cheek, incorporating a supernatural-yet-goofy plot pivot. Which works…mostly. Sort of. Before I go one step further, let me make something clear–I adore comedy-horror. Idle Hands. Fright Night. Fido. Oh, the king of them all, Army of Darkness.
So I wanted to really love it and yeah, it mostly works. But it’s kind of uneven, and the plot doesn’t hold together terribly well. There are some wonderful scenes in it–I still chuckle over the encounter with the vampire, and I won’t divulge any spoilers. But I felt like at some point, the producers got too caught up in the idea that they were taking the piss out of the horror genre, to actually create a good movie. Case in point: Arthur Blake and his gravedigging partner, Willy Grimes (played by Larry Fessenden) are hard at work one night, and take off their shirts as they’re warm and sweaty. They’re both wearing Fruit of the Loom white ribbed cotton men’s undershirts and I thought…really? I get this is an indy film, I get there was only a tiny budget to work with, and I get that the undershirts are a wink to the audience to not take anything too seriously and yet…really? Army of Darkness was about as stupid as it could get and winked at the audience at every opportunity (the magic words Ash has to learn are “Klaatu barada nikto”…movie geeks, enjoy!) but Ash would be the only character you’d find in a white ribbed T-shirt (that he would have gotten at S-Mart). Duke Henry the Red? Not so much.
As movies go, it was fun and I’m glad I saw it. It wasn’t one of those movies I watched to the end and resented because it took so much of my life, and I’m never getting that time back. But it’s not the indy gem I’ve seen raved about in the reviews, and I wonder if it’s gotten notice just because it’s so very different from what’s being offered in the mainstream. If there were quirky movies that were actually good and dependable from start to finish, would this movie have garnered as much notice?
Watch this movie if:
You like tongue-in-cheek horror and don’t mind when they go over the top in their elbow-to-the-ribs wink and nod-type laffs.
You’re an aficionado of all things filmed in Staten Island.
You want to round out your Ron Perlman movie viewing.
You want to see more of that guy from Lost.
Don’t watch this movie if:
You need your movie experiences to be completely straightforward and serious.
You think Staten Island is only good for biker bars and earring shopping.
You have an aversion to large teeth.
No B-movie hero will ever compare to Bruce Campbell and his amazing chin.

US President George W Bush gets ‘Farewell Boot’ in Iraq
US President George W Bush (In picture) faces the wrath of an Iraqi journalist who hurls his shoes at him during his final visit to Iraq
On his ‘farewell’ visit to Iraq as US President, George W Bush had an unusual ‘encounter’ when an
Iraqi scribe threw two shoes at him, but the agile American leader downplayed the incident, saying “it’s a sign of a free society.”
The journalist, Muntadar al-Zeidi, threw two shoes at Bush — one after another — during a joint news conference with Iraq Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki in Baghdad on Sunday (December 14, 2008) and shouted “it is the farewell kiss, you dog”.
“All I can report is a size 10,” the president joked. Bush, who ducked both throws, said he has seen a lot of weird things during his eight-year-long Presidency and that he would term the latest incident as “one of the weirdest”.
“And it was amusing. I mean, I’ve seen a lot of weird things during my presidency and this may rank up there as one of the weirdest. So this happens and it’s a sign of a free society,” Bush said. “But I’m not insulted. I don’t hold it against the government. I don’t think the Iraqi press corps as a whole is terrible. And so, the guy wanted to get on TV and he did. I don’t know what his beef is. But whatever it is I’m sure somebody will hear it,” the US President told ABC channel.
After the incident, Iraqi government said that the scribe, who works with Al-Baghdadia channel which broadcasts from Cairo, has been held for questioning by the Prime Minister’s guards and is being tested for alcohol and drugs. Meanwhile, the television channel demanded the immediate release of its journalist and called the scribe as a “proud Arab and an open-minded man.”
Bush shoe attacker ‘detested America’
The Iraqi journalist who caused a furore when he hurled his shoes at visiting US President George W Bush “detested America” and had been plotting such an attack for months, colleagues said on on Monday (Dec 15, 2008).
Muntazer al-Zaidi, 28, was being hailed as a hero by some after his action against the US President who ordered the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and anti-US demonstrations were being staged in Baghdad and the holy shiite city of Najaf.
“This was a spontaneous action by an Iraqi citizen who was showing his dismay at seeing the President of the country which is occupying our nation,” said Liwaa Sumeissim from the anti-American Sadr movement.
The Iraqi government however branded Zaidi’s actions as “shameful” and demanded an apology from his employer Al-Baghdadia television, which in turn was calling for his immediate release from custody.
One of his colleagues in the Baghdad office of Al-Baghdadia said Zaidi had been planning to throw shoes at Bush if ever he got the chance. “When he said he was going to do it, we didn’t doubt him,” he said.
“Muntazer detested America. He detested the US soldiers, he detested Bush,” said another co-worker who also spoke on condition of anonymity.
An Iraqi lawyer said Zaidi risked a minimum of two years in prison if he is prosecuted for insulting a visiting head of state, but could face a 15-year term if he is charged with attempted murder.
In Cairo, Muzhir al-Khafaji, programming director for Al-Baghdadia television, described Zaidi as a “proud Arab and an open-minded man.” “We fear for his safety,” he told, adding that Zaidi had been arrested twice before by the Americans.

India has no plans to attack Pakistan: Defence Minister
DEFENSIVE TALK? India’s Defence minister A K Antony has demanded sincere action by Pakistan against the terrorists.
India on Dec 16, 2008 said it is not planning any military action against Pakistan but stressed that the neighbouring country will have to take action against terrorists there for the relations to improve.
“We are not planning any military action but at the same time unless Pakistan takes actions against those terrorists who are operating from their soil against India and also against all those who are behind the Mumbai terrorist attack, things will not be normal,” Defence Minister A K Antony said.
He was talking to reporters on occasion of Vijay Diwas marking the 37th anniversary of India’s military victory on Dec 16, 2008 over Pakistan in the Bangladesh liberation war.
On the issue of troop deployment along the Indo-Pak border, Antony said the situation there was “normal” and armed forces were “always ready”.
“Everything is normal because our forces are always ready,” the Minister said.
The Minister denied that India was planning to call off the more than five-year-old ceasefire along the Line of Control (LoC).
“Nothing like that,” he stated when asked if India had any plans to call off the ceasefire with Pakistan.
Refusing to divulge India’s course of action in the present scenario, Antony demanded sincere action by Pakistan against the terrorists.
“I cannot say what course of action we will take but unless Pakistan shows sincerity in whatever they are saying through their actions, one thing is very sure that there is no question of things as usual,” he said.
The chiefs of Navy, Army and Air Force — Admiral Sureesh Mehta, General Deepak Kapoor and Air Chief Marshal Fali Homi Major — also attended the Vijay Diwas function.

Home News ZenFone 6 India Launch Expected Soon, Flipkart Page Goes Live
ZenFone 6 India Launch Expected Soon, Flipkart Page Goes Live
After unveiling its latest flagship smartphone — the ZenFone 6 — Asus is all set to bring the flagship to India. The ZenFone 6 is expected to launch in India really soon, according to a Flipkart product page that recently went live.
The ZenFone 6 is Asus’ attempt at upstaging the OnePlus 7 and OnePlus 7 Pro in India. The phone comes with a 6.4-inch bezel-less display with no notches or cutouts of any sort. This, the phone achieves using a motorised flip camera which lets the phone use its dual rear camera as the front camera as well. Speaking of which, the phone comes with a 48MP + 13MP dual camera set up.
Under the hood, the phone features specs you would expect to find in a flagship, including the Snapdragon 855 processor paired with up to 8GB RAM and 256GB storage. Powering it all up is a massive 5,000 mAh battery, which should definitely last long.
Other than all that, the ZenFone 6 comes with ZenUI 6, which Asus claims is a much more lightweight ZenUI experience, and one that offers a close-to-stock experience to users. Among other exciting features of the phone, one that really deserves attention is the fact that the motorised selfie camera can be set at any angle, so you can take some impressive photos, and, according to Asus’ claims, the phone can also track subjects in videos thanks to the motorised camera module.
While we currently don’t have an exact launch date for the ZenFone 6, and the Flipkart page simply mentions “coming soon to India”, it’s reasonable to expect Asus to launch the phone within the next few weeks.

2018, Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival, YoungTales
This is our fifth year of bringing storytelling into area elementary schools through the Debby Brown YoungTales Storytelling program. How have we done? Here are some testimonials!
“The [YoungTales] program is nothing short of amazing, and I’m not just referring to the incredibly talented performers who come to the school to tell their stories.… I appreciate the special opportunity it provides for students who would otherwise have hidden their talents.”
— Tiffany Abbott Fuller, Literacy Coach, West End Elementary, Rome City Schools
“My students have a difficult time with written expression. They have wonderful stories inside, but struggled to get them out. By learning how to be verbal storytellers, they became stronger storytellers as well as writers.”
— Katie Chappell, Fifth Grade Teacher, Anna K. Davie Elementary, Rome City Schools
“I have personally seen students grow from good storytellers to amazing storytellers in only a few weeks of instruction.”
— Jason Coffman, Fifth Grade Teacher, Armuchee Elementary, Floyd County Schools
“There are many storytelling festivals around this county. There are very few who take the time to nurture young listeners and tellers. I applaud the Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival for making a commitment to both the future of the art of storytelling and the future of those hundreds of children who have been exposed to this art…”
— Carol Cain, Featured Teller, 2017 Big Fibbers Festival
“I just wanted to tell you how wonderful the story telling club was that you conducted at MES last spring! My only regret was that I wish it could have spanned more weeks!
— Angie Yancey, Teacher of the Gifted, Model Elementary, Floyd County Schools
“I was able to participate in the Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival and observe the student experience of the YoungTales Storytelling Program. To see the [young tellers] in action and to see them excited and eloquent was amazing.”
— Kanute P. Rarey, Management Consultant/Storyteller, Hayesville, NC
“The YoungTales performance that I attended was spectacular. As a student, I was a very poor writer…my spelling and grammar were awful. Fortunately, I had teachers and folks in the community who gave me the chance to perform in storytelling settings, where my skills were better suited to thrive. The more ways we give kids to succeed, the better they will do in the world. YoungTales is a great venue for this.”
— Bil Lepp, Five-time winner of the West Virginia Liar’s Contest, nationally known storyteller, award-winning author, and Big Fibbers Featured Teller in 2015 and 2019

How we know right from wrong without God or religion
Do we really need an imaginary guy-in-the-sky to tell us what's right and wrong? Not anymore, says Skeptic Magazine's Michael Shermer.
Do we really need God or religion to tell us what's right and wrong? Michael Shermer, the publisher of Skeptic Magazine, says that this kind of celestial-spiritual guidance really isn't necessary. Or particularly effective. He makes a great case for being a moral realist — for example, studying past examples of war or slavery to learn morals from them — is much more effective than going back to mysticism like, say, The Bible, a fantastical book written by committee some 2,000 years ago and hardly updated since. Michael's new book is Heavens on Earth: The Scientific Search for the Afterlife, Immortality, and Utopia.

WHAT MAKES A SOCIOPATH?
There are people in the world who don't care about love, and who feel no remorse, empathy or emotional attachment to others. They don't even know what these feeling are. These people are called sociopaths. Most people think of a sociopath as a deranged serial killer, but, with 4% of the population having the character traits of a sociopath, most sociopaths never physically harm anyone. Sociopaths do however ruin lives, empty bank accounts, and cause untold emotional trauma, using simply the fact that they don't care.
The Absence of Feelings: Sociopaths may seem to laugh or cry but they present no depth of emotion. While easily provoked to frustration or rage, their display of feeling is little more than a momentary, isolated temper tantrum. To the sociopath, other people are tools to get them what they want: money, sex, a job or other possessions. They live in their own amoral world where nothing they do has any consequences and where they owe no one anything. They have no empathy. Thus, they elude all responsibility for their actions, and can easily turn the tables, blaming their partner without guilt or shame.
The Relentlessness of Deception: Sociopaths lie all the time. As they don't view their spouse as a thinking, feeling person, they do not see this behavior as wrong. Their only quest is to serve themselves and, if this entails lying, cheating or even murder, they will do so. If one catches them in lies, they are brilliant at changing the subject, placing the onus on the other person, denying their involvement or trying to make their spouse seem crazy. They are even good at deceiving the police and the court system; sociopaths rarely end up in prison for their actions.
The Impulsiveness of Action: Sociopathic individuals rarely plan ahead. They undertake actions on the basis of momentary whims, often devious ones. Every act seems isolated in its own amoral universe. Thus, they cannot keep promises or repair the damage they've caused to others. When they lie, cheat or steal, the act exists solely for them; they believe it should have no repercussions or real world effects. They often appear to have "forgotten" they did something shortly after it happened. Their need for excitement encourages them to get involved in one night stands, shady deals and ill advised engagements. Sociopaths have no sense of commitment to their spouses, any children they may have together or the future.
HOW TO SPOT A SOCIOPATH
Sociopaths have impressive social skills, thereby making them extremely hard to spot. They are charming, funny and exciting. This is why we need to be aware. If your new romantic interest exhibits all or most of the following behaviors, be careful. He or she might be a sociopath.
1) Charisma and charm: They're smooth talkers, always have an answer, never miss a beat. They seem to be very exciting. Their manners are impeccable; they are well groomed; they fulfill the codes of romance and courtship to a tee. They are likely to be eloquent talkers who lace their speech with impressive sounding facts and figures. They may be fun, laugh a lot, sweep their partner off their feet with their sweetness.
2) Enormous ego: They act like the smartest, richest or most successful people around. They may actually come out and tell you that.
3) Overly attentive: They call, text and e-mail constantly. They want to be with you every moment. They resent time you spend with your family and friends.
4) Jekyll and Hyde personality: One minute they love you; the next minute they hate you. Their personality changes like flipping a switch.
5) Blame others: Nothing is ever their fault. They always have an excuse. Someone else causes their problems.
6) Lies and gaps in the story: You ask questions, and the answers are vague. They tell stupid lies. They tell outrageous lies. They lie when they'd make out better telling the truth. If you probe deeper, you'll find that their stories never stack up.
7) Intense eye contact: Call it the predatory stare. If you get a chill down your spine when they look at you, pay attention.
8) Move fast: They quickly proclaim that you're their true love and soul mate. They want to move in together or get married quickly.
9) Pity play: They appeal to your sympathy. They want you to feel sorry for their abusive childhood, psychotic ex, incurable disease or financial setbacks.
10) Sexual magnetism: If you feel intense attraction, if your physical relationship is unbelievable, it may be their excess testosterone.
Some doctors call them sociopaths, others refer to them as psychopaths. Either way, the terms are used to describe individuals who have a range of personality disorders. These people are NOT certifiably mentally ill; they are biological carriers of socially and personally problematic traits. Such traits may have been manifested from childhood in acts of cruelty to animals, property or people. These characteristics can disrupt relationships, create financial and emotional crises, and, at their worst, lead the person to callously undertake acts of vandalism, theft, rape or murder. Being aware what constitutes a sociopath can help one resist their charm and the errors inherent in establishing a life with them.
Sociopaths know exactly what they are doing, and most of them never kill anyone. But they are social predators who exploit just about everyone they meet. They have no heart, no conscience and no remorse.
You can't "cure' a sociopath or help them to see the error of their ways. They don't see the world as we do, so the only thing you can do, is save yourself and walk away.
Seattle Begins Gun Confiscation Without Due Process
The left-wing war on the private ownership of firearms has turned a page and intensified. We’re used to the usual proposals. You know what they are. Limit this size of magazines. Make guns that look military like AR-15’s illegal. Increase restrictions on those who wish to own guns. Require registration of every firearm owned. Limit the number of firearms a person can own. Make concealed-carry illegal.
Now things have moved to a new level. Jurisdictions are proposing the outright confiscation of certain firearms. Resistance will be a crime punishable by law. Another proposal is to confiscate all firearms from those with a record of mental illness. While no one wants the criminally insane to have guns, this is an easy way for the left to massively expand those who would be barred from owning guns. The definition of mental illnesses is subjective and subject to debate. Suffered a battle with depression or take a particular medication at one time? No guns for you.
Page two brings this matter and these onerous proposals into much sharper focus by examining specific proposals on the table right now.
If we are to defend the protections guaranteed under the Second Amendment, exchanging a few tweets or huffing and puffing on Facebook is not going to do it. A full court press by supporters of the right to keep and bear arms is needed. Any form of violence or threats of violence must be absent from our efforts. But getting out and making some noise is essential. Politicians supporting the anti-gun vigilantes must be targeted for electoral defeat. Those who are on the fence need to feel the heat in a big way.
All that said, it is helpful to see what we are up against. We’ve already covered what’s happening in California. We begin here with another haven of left-wing ideology, Seattle.
The city’s police department became the first law enforcement agency in the state to force the surrender of a firearm under a new law known as an “extreme risk protection order.”
The incident involves a man who lives in Belltown, who neighbors said had been intimidating people for the past year – even staring-down customers through store-front windows with a gun holstered at his side.
Mental illness is suspected, but that new law allowed police to legally disarm him.
In this case, the man refused to comply. Because of the new law, police were then able to return with a warrant and force the man to surrender the firearm.
What seems prudent might not be. And it can be expanded dramatically. This is the standard liberal technique. Find an incident that might appear to be hard to defend from a pro-gun perspective, and use it to expand powers well beyond the initial event. Don’t doubt for a minute that the definition of “suspected mental illness” will be vastly expanded.
This is another perspective on the above act of gun confiscation.
A man in Seattle has had his gun confiscated by police after breaking no laws. The police took his gun without a warrant and without pressing any charges. Tyranny has officially taken hold on American soil.
This sets a precedent that government can now forcefully take guns away from an individual without a crime being committed or an arrest being made and without a warrant. In the name of fear and political exploitation of anti-gun rhetoric, a citizen’s Second Amendment rights have been ripped away from him by the government.
The new “red flag” law, which has taken hold in other states already, allows the courts and law enforcement to take away guns from individuals they deem are dangerous and they’ve just begun the confiscation. A man living in the Belltown neighborhood of Seattle, Washington became the first individual in the state to have his firearm confiscated without any formal arrest or charges. The man was not identified by authorities.
This is the danger we face. A bunch of liberals decide on their own that someone is dangerous, and on the basis of those allegations alone, a citizen loses his Second Amendment protections as the police forcibly confiscate his firearms.
This man lost his Second Amendment rights simply because he made his neighbors uncomfortable!
The left-wing agenda took a big step forward in Seattle when the city’s police department became the first law enforcement agency in the state to force the surrender of a firearm under a new law known as an “extreme risk protection order.”
Neighbors had been complaining about a man intimidating people over the past year by “staring-down customers” through store-front windows with a gun holstered at his side.
Mental illness has been suspected, but a new law allowed police to legally disarm him only on the suspicion.
“He was roaming the hallways with a .25 caliber automatic,” said Tony Montana, a man who lives in the same apartment complex as the gun owner and a person without any reasonable gun knowledge. Handguns are semi-automatic.
SHTF sums up the danger very well.
These lousy complaints from neighbors allowed police to use the newly passed state law to confiscate the man’s firearm because the man apparently stared at others. Maybe there’s a ban on staring at others in Washington we are unaware of. Under the extreme risk protection orders — also referred to as “erpos” or “red flag laws” — police (government officials) are now allowed to violate a person’s Second and Fourth Amendment rights (which are basic fundamental human rights) and take their legally acquired personal property if they are tattled on by offended liberals.
This is nothing less than the imposition of tyranny on the American people, sponsored by leftist politicians and the police they employ.
Wake up now and make our voices heard forcibly, or live in tyranny. That’s the unfortunate choice that has been forced upon us.

The Left obsesses over gun confiscation, even if they have to do it one person at a time. They have hit upon a new tactic of using “Gun Confiscation Orders” (GCOs) to seize someone’s property without due process or even their knowledge of what is to take place.
Rep. Marcia Morey, D-Durham plans on introducing a bill establishing these “Gun Confiscation Orders”.
NC Rep. Marcia Morey, Durham
In something reminiscent of the Old Soviet Union clamping down on dissent through the mental health system, these would be secret procedures where someone alleges that someone is “Dangerous” and that their firearms should be taken from them by force.

So, who gets to decide if someone is “Dangerous”?
The gun grabbers have already said that we are ‘Terrorists’ so it’s not too much of a stretch for them to claim every gun owner is “dangerous” for just having them.

These “Gun Confiscation Orders” (sometimes referred to as ‘Red Flag' laws). are a proceeding by which your guns can be seized without due process or even your knowledge – until the ominous knock on your door. The purpose of the Constitutional principle of due process is to protect the individual from the full force of the government. These laws flip the Constitutional principle of innocent until proven guilty on its head. Now with these laws, you can be deprived of your liberty on someone’s word in a one-sided hearing without your knowledge.
Leftists seem to be in competition to see how many natural and constitutional rights they can violate in one fell swoop. These are people who have no use for Liberty who still pretend to be Liberal.
These laws infringe on the 2nd abd two parts of the 5th and 4th amendments. And given that some have been persecuted for talking about the wrong subjects in public, the 1st could be easily on the list.
The proposed law would allow ‘colleagues’ or ‘friends’ to petition to a judge to have your guns seized and all they would have to do would be to “prove by a sworn affidavit, that you know and have direct knowledge that a person is in direct possession of guns.”
No Pretense, Just Straight-up Confiscation
GCOs are not a foot in the confiscatory door. There is no pretense here. GCOs blatantly and aggressively kick that door down, and once GCOs are in place, the valid reasons for establishing an GCO against an individual will surely loosen. At first, perhaps close family members and a few others very close to a person may be able to point a finger and “report” him. That’s bad enough, but be sure, the already Orwellian rules surrounding GCOs will expand. It’s likely that, eventually, virtually anyone in a person’s sphere will be able to accuse a person and begin the unconstitutional process of having the accused’s legally owned firearms forcibly confiscated. Does this sound like a free country to you, a free state?
Will Republicans Protect the Citizenry?
As of now, we don’t know how the Republican majority in Raleigh will react when asked to establish a gun confiscation mechanism. We do know that there is always danger that politicians will stick a finger in the air and just “go with the flow,” as the anti-gun crowd aggressively pushes to not “let a crisis go to waste.” There is real danger here.

Suggested Subject: “Protect Due Process, No to Gun Confiscation Orders [Red Flag laws]
Dear Representative:
I am writing because I’ve just been informed of the horrifying proposal that Rep. Morey is preparing to introduce. I understand Rep. Morey would like to establish “Gun Confiscation Oders” (GCOs) in our state. GCOs are simply mechanisms for bypassing constitutional due process protections in order to confiscate firearms, at whim, from accused persons who have not been convicted of any crime. Not only can one’s firearms be confiscated based on accusation alone, GCO hearings can also be held without the presence of the accused. To say this is unacceptable is an understatement.
I am incensed that any representative in an ostensibly free state would even suggest such an ominous mechanism be established within our legal system. I assure you, citizens like me will not stand for the suspension of our Constitutional rights. I insist that you act now to put a stop to any legislation that would establish these extra-constitutional judicial bodies, which are designed to strip people of their rights based on accusations alone.
Also, I must insist that you explain to me where you stand on this issue. I must be sure that my representatives are on the side of liberty—protecting my rights—and are not willing to oppress Constitutional guarantees simply due to the current direction of political winds.
I need a response from you, and I will also be monitoring your actions on this matter through alerts from Grass Roots North Carolina.
Grass Roots North Carolina/Forum for Firearms Education is a non-profit, all volunteer organization devoted to educating the public about trends which abridge the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, and engaging in grass roots activism to preserve those freedoms.

AUS - Criminals could face charges for texting under proposed laws
Criminals who text each other could be "consorting" and committing an offence under the Palaszczuk Government's reforms to organised crime laws.
A public briefing was held on Monday afternoon as the Legal Affairs and Community Safety Committee considers the Serious and Organised Crime Legislation Amendment Bill 2016.
Queensland Police Commissioner Ian Stewart said the new legislation meant officers did not have to head to pubs and racecourses to enforce the consorting law.
"So if A is meeting with B and C because they're texting them, that's a meeting," Mr Stewart said.
"As long as it fits within the legislation, that can form the trigger to perform the first warning."
The anti-association laws under which Queensland presently operates ban designated gang members and their associates from gathering in groups of three or more, regardless of whether they are facing charges, have convictions, or are wearing their gang insignia or colours.
Under the proposed bill it would be an offence to habitually consort with at least two recognised offenders, whether together or separately, and with at least one occasion happening after receiving an official warning.
Habitually consorting would include meeting with a recognised offender at least twice, but would not apply to a child.
Mr Stewart said if person A met person B and C - and if B and C had criminal records relevant to the legislation - an officer could officially warn the group.
"So if A again meets with B and C, that's when the actual offence can occur," he said.
"A does not need to have any criminal history. He simply consorts with two people who do have the appropriate levels of criminal history."
There could also be "pre-emptive" consorting warnings. And Carolyn McAnally, from the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, said there could be retrospective consorting warnings, based on police viewing CCTV.
LNP member for Coomera Michael Crandon questioned whether person A could meet with B and C, and then B and D and E.
"He could keep on meeting all day every day with B but as long as one of the others - C, D, E or F... doesn't come for a second occasion, there's no offences?"
Ms McAnally said: "A can meet with B, A can meet with C, D and E. A is required to meet one further time with B, C or D, but not with them all together."
Mr Stewart described the amendments as taking inspiration from some of the best legislation around Australia.
"I think it provides the appropriate balance that will protect the community from organised criminals (and) it will help protect our officers in their work," he said.
The reforms would ban Queensland bikies from wearing their club colours anywhere in public, not just in pubs and clubs, as under the existing Vicious Lawless Association Disestablishment (VLAD) Act introduced by the former Newman government.
LNP member for Currumbin questioned whether innocent motorbike riders could be pulled over under the new laws.
But Mr Stewart said there had not been any complaints in the past two years from innocent bike riders, and commended the professional conduct of police officers.
"I would take you back a couple of years when that was a concern of many of the recreational motorcyclists," he said.
"I have not seen one complaint in the last two years, an official complaint.
"It was a perception, it was a myth."

CA- Sonora Police Responds To Video Alleging Profiling Against Bikers
SONORA (CBS13) – The Sonora Police Department is firing back after allegations of profiling against bikers.
In a video published on May 10 to YouTube, Sonora police officers can be seen checking out a group of bikes parked in the city. One officer appears to be taking photos of the bikes’ license plates. A person behind the camera can be heard saying “We get this kind of hassle from Sonora PD all the time.”
The riders claim the officer was saying and treating them like they were all in a motorcycle gang.
The video has since racked up more than 11,000 views.
https://youtu.be/pZN4fDjL17M
Tuesday, the Sonora Police Department released a statement addressing the situation.
“The Police Sergeant in the video was simply engaging in intelligence gathering on a public street. These actions do not fall under the category of profiling as it is defined in California and there were no detentions made during this contact,” Sonora PD writes.
Callers from around the nation have apparently been flooding Sonora police’s call center in reaction to the video. Negative comments have also been appearing on the department’s social media pages.
The police department says they will not be dissuaded, however.
“We want to remind everyone that just because a video has gone viral and/or has received a large number of views, does not necessarily mean there is any substance to the allegations behind it,” Sonora PD writes.

New law: Kansas cops can't have sex during traffic stops
By Dion Lefler
A new Kansas law makes it a crime for police to have sex with people they pull over for traffic violations or detain in criminal investigations.
The new law bans sexual relations "during the course of a traffic stop, a custodial interrogation, an interview in connection with an investigation, or while the law enforcement officer has such person detained."
Now, you may be asking, wasn't that illegal already?
Actually, it wasn't.

Good Drivers are Creating a Budget Shortfall, Proving Gov’t Needs You to Break the Law to Fund Itself
One state has found that relying on a significant percentage of its budget to be derived from traffic fees and fines leads to a massive shortage when drivers fail to break the law.
Rachel Blevins
The state of California is finding that the business model of relying on drivers to break the law in order to fund the state budget, fails miserably when drivers fail to break the law and cannot be slapped with exorbitant fees and fines.
California’s state budget currently relies on more than $450 million from penalties and fees collected from drivers who have been charged with both criminal and traffic violations. However, while trusting drivers to break the law at a rate that would sustain the state’s massive budget worked for a while, the strategy is now causing the state to go bankrupt.
A summary from the California State Auditor, as reported by Courthouse News, revealed that the revenue collected from citations “has decreased from 39 percent to 25 percent over the last three years as the number of criminal citations filed has decreased.”
The audit claimed that California is now facing a “significant financial burden,” which stems from a disconnected system that “lacks a systematic strategy.” In addition to drivers receiving fewer citations from police officers, the report found that a number of drivers who are cited never pay their fines, even when they accumulate substantial late fees.
As an Op-Ed from the Sacramento Bee noted in January, California is known to have some of the highest traffic fines and fees in the United States, and the drivers who are given citations often face a financial burden that can send them spiraling into debt:
“California has among the highest traffic fines and fees in the country—and the steepest consequences for traffic violations are reserved for those who can’t afford the fines and fees. This results in crippling debt for the least fortunate Californians, from whom traffic courts have difficulty collecting any fees at all.
According to the Federal Reserve, nearly half of American households cannot afford $400 in unexpected costs. Yet in California, if a family misses a payment on a traffic fine, they can be slapped with a $300 late fee, raising the cost to as much as $500 for a ticket. That can be followed by a suspended driver’s license or jail time, even for non-safety related violations, such as late registration. Of course, this makes it less likely they can pay the fines.”
Courthouse News reported that traffic cases represented the overwhelming majority, “approximately 82 percent on average, of all criminal case filings in the state from 2014 to 2016,” and that the audit report recommends “eliminating the use of penalty and fee revenue as funding sources for state and county programs,” based on the fact that the revenue collected through citations is often “unrelated to the needs of the state and county services.”
“The Legislature should reconsider the entire penalty and fee structure (criminal and traffic), decide whether to adjust or eliminate penalty and fee amounts, and whether to distribute the resulting revenue differently,” the report concluded.
If a business was facing the same problems the state government in California is facing right now, it would likely look for ways to cut its budget, in order to reduce the deficit from the decrease in revenue. However, because this is a state government—and a large, liberal state government, at that—California will likely look to increase the revenue it receives through taxes, in order to keep the same budget.
As a result, the residents of California who have followed the law and have not received any traffic citations will find themselves funding the state’s massive budget anyway, through increased taxes that are imposed upon them against their will.
The high taxes from the states, combined with recent changes to the federal tax law—such as putting a $10,000 cap on the deduction for state and local taxes—are likely to force some high-income residents in California and New York to seek refuge in states like Texas, Arizona, and Nevada.
An Op-Ed from the Wall Street Journal noted that California and New York have lost a total of 2.2 million residents since 2007, and that number is expected to grow by as many as 800,000 people within the next three years:
“In places like California, where the top income-tax rate exceeds 13 percent, that tax could be deducted on a federal return. Now that deduction for state and local taxes will be capped at $10,000 per family. Consider what this means if you’re a high-income earner in Silicon Valley or Hollywood. The top tax rate that you actually pay just jumped from about 8.5 percent to 13 percent. Similar figures hold if you live in Manhattan, once New York City’s income tax is factored in. If you earn $10 million or more, your taxes might increase a whopping 50 percent.”
While many Republicans celebrated the new tax bill and the mainstream media referred to it as “the most extensive rewrite of the tax code in a generation” when it was signed into law in December 2017, former Texas Congressman Ron Paul called out the government for celebrating tax cuts, without actually cutting taxes.
“Once again, under the guise of ‘tax cuts,’ everyday Americans will be hammered with even HIGHER taxes. Sleight-of-hand and slick marketing are about the only things that governments do very well,” Paul wrote on Facebook.
The current status of the state government in California serves as a reminder that the government’s ultimate goal is to extract revenue from you in order to fund its interests. When that cannot be accomplished by making you pay a large fine for running a red light, exceeding the speed limit, or possessing an “illegal” plant, the government will then turn to raising the taxes you are forced to pay on the goods, services, and housing that are necessities in your life, in order to achieve its original goal.
Reason why 1%er clubs are loosing support among the motorcycling community as a whole. This about sums it up. Is it a motorcycle club or motorcycle gang? Tough questions need to be asked
Woke up and seen this article circulating all over the mainstream news organizations websites and at first, I figured it would probably be another media hack job on motorcycle clubs, but then after digging deeper into the article, it wasn't turning out the way. As I read further into the article all I could do is shake my head. Here we go with another incident that will give a blemish on the 1%er community. [ 1,424 more word ]
http://harleyliberty.com/…/reason-why-1er-clubs-are-loosin…/
As a defender of 1%er clubs, their rights, their freedoms, I’ve been finding myself more and more on the defensive end of things lately. A couple of shootings the last few weeks, now something like this comes out and adds fuel to the fire on how bad things are seemingly becoming with clubs. So is it time to start asking the tough questions? From someone who has always been adamant in writing for clubs rights, I have to be the first one to stand up and say “Yes, maybe it is time to ask those tough questions”.
The motorcycle community is starting to undergo a drastic change. Right now a lot of the motorcycle manufacturers are having a hell of a time getting people riding a bike, the younger generation has no interest in this lifestyle at all. The main demographic who buys a motorcycle is starting to age out and with that being the case, the main recruiting source for clubs is becoming slim pickings and even slimmer pickings for 1%er clubs.
Now let’s be for real, 1%er clubs are not choir boys. But for an incident like this to go down, a murder for hire puts all of the 1%er community at risk and sadly to say, you’re bringing the shit onto yourself. Yea I know the line “Motorcycle Club not Motorcycle Gang”. Well for those who never grew up on the streets or knew the game, that line might work, but when you have members of your club going out there and doing this kind of shit, the latter starts to fit the narrative.
I will simply ask the question. Was it worth taking an innocent life over some money? Is it worth sitting and rotting in a jail cell over some bullshit doctor? More importantly, Is it worth bringing down the Feds all over your ass? I remember when honor used to roll through the ranks of motorcycle clubs, women and children were never to be touched. Guess that isn’t the case anymore. Wonder how much of a man it took to put two bullets in this lady because her coward ol man didn’t keep his business from her? 1%er clubs want to go around and whine about the Feds at their doorstep? You’re bringing the shit to your front door with this crap, you invite it upon yourselves.
I think the reason why our rag is so popular is that we always maintain a realistic view of things. What is right is right, what is wrong is wrong, this shit here is definitely wrong. My question to all those who will be steadfast in their support of clubs that will participate in shit like this. How the hell do you expect me or Insane Throttle to defend some shit like this? Let me guess, “The feds set them up, it wasn’t their fault right?” Come on, get off the shit is what I’m going to tell ya straight up.
Before you put up the blind devotion front for any M/C, be it a 1 %er, 99%er or even a fucking riding club, pay attention and open your eyes. Take the time to actually think for yourselves, don’t be such a damn sheep. It’s great to support 1%ers and all clubs for that matter. But when they do wrong, especially in an incident like this, call them out, be real, these clubs depend on you and me for the support to keep going.
Here’s what I’m hoping for. The club officers, in this case, had no knowledge or idea that this was going down. Is it wishful thinking on my part? Probably, but there is always hope that the officers of the club were smart enough to know, an incident like this would bring in even more heat than they already had. The Old Timers had it right for a reason, women and kids, cops were always off limits, it was the unwritten rule on the streets. Why? Because there is nothing more that will get a bunch of cops swinging all over your dicks, then to take out a women, child or cop.
Insane Throttle expresses it’s condolences to the victims family and wants them to know, not every 1%er club, nor any other club is like this. The pain that you must be feeling with your loved one being taken in such a way must be unbearable at times. We sincerely wish your mother, sister, daughter God Speed.

CHP freeway signs warn against driving under the influence of cannabis
SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — With marijuana set to become legal in just a few days, there is a new campaign from California law enforcement about driving under the influence of cannabis.
“You should never drive high,” said Rhonda Craft, the director of the California Office of Traffic Safety. “The message today DUI doesn’t just mean booze.”
“That is absolutely correct,” said attorney Mahal Montoya with the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. “I always say alcohol and cannabis is a lethal combination.”
The deadly effects of which allegedly led to the death of California Highway Patrol officer Andrew Camilleri.
In the wake of his death, the California Office of Traffic Safety is launching a new public awareness campaign focused on not driving under the influence of drugs like marijuana.
Montoya says the legal cannabis community should publically echo the DUI doesn’t just mean booze messages,
“Publically admit it. Share it. Educate it. Put it on the packaging. Put it on the billboard. Medicate responsibly. Consume Responsibly. Use responsibly. Don’t wait for years and years of litigation to say what we already know,” Montoya said.
“What is particularly troubling and likely due to the public’s lack of awareness is the combination of alcohol with marijuana or alcohol with other impairing medications is even more dangerous when used alone,” Craft said.
Billboards are being used to help raise public awareness about the dangers of driving after mixing marijuana with alcohol.
“They had to make alcohol companies say drink responsibly,” said Montoya. “They had to go through tremendous amount years of litigation just to get them to admit that. Why should we wait with cannabis? We already know consume responsibly.”
This is coming from a staunch legal cannabis advocate.
“I believe in my heart that cannabis is a safe drug when used responsibly,” Montoya said.

ISP: Many drivers unaware of left lane 'slowpoke' law
Brenna Donnelly
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) -- Indiana State Police troopers say almost everyone they've pulled over in violation of the Indiana Left Lane Law told them they didn't know it was illegal to drive slower than traffic in the left hand lane.
The measure went into effect in 2015 and states that drivers traveling in the left lane of a road with more than one lane must move to the right if there's a car behind them moving faster, even if the car in the left lane is going at or above the speed limit. Some have called it the "Slowpoke Law," referring to the slow drivers plugging up the passing lane.
"It's really annoying because it slows everybody down," said Tracey Everett, a driver in Indianapolis. "Especially when you're trying to get to work, get home from work. Super frustrating."
"I feel like it causes the drivers in the other lanes to speed up and it gets more dangerous as a result," added Courtney Burks, also an Indianapolis driver.
Indiana State Police troopers aren't enforcing polite driving when they pull over a slow left-lane driver; they say they're making roads safer.
"If they can't get by in the left lane, they're going to weave in and out, over to the center lane, to the right lane, back to left lane and that by itself creates substantial hazards for everyone else on the road," said Sergeant John Perrine with ISP.
A ticket for violating the Left Lane Law will cost between $150-200, according to Perrine. He said on average, ISP hands out 100 Left Lane Law tickets per year, and 1,500 warnings.
"More importantly, we want to educate people about the importance of staying out of that left lane. So the vast majority of the stops we've made over the last few years have resulted in warnings," said Perrine.
Captain Erv Faulk with ISP says in his experience, the law has helped him flag distracted or impaired drivers. He described an instance on I-70 when he pulled over a slow left lane driver who was backing up traffic.
"I stop him, find out he's impaired, he's been drinking, he's trying to focus on the road. He doesn't want to get in those right two lanes," said Captain Faulk. " You end up having the traffic backed up, people getting mad."
"People just need to learn," said Dan Bookout, a driver in Indianapolis. "Stay out of the left lane unless you're passing."

Government Seeks To Silence Free Media Sources
By HankMc
by Hank McGrath
Several weeks ago Senator Diane Feinstein announced new legislation proposals which would not only restrict “citizen reporters” but would disqualify them from recognition as actual reporters – whether they be bloggers, journalists, independent reporters and so on. Her proposal is in sync with the US Justice Dept report governing concerns for obtaining info from reporters who are protected by a shield (see: http://www.justice.gov/ag/news-media.pdf ). Thusfar, 40 states have a shield law protecting reporters, journalists and bloggers. The Federal government seeks to pass a law called the FREE FLOW OF INFORMATION ACT OF 2013 ( H.R. 1962 ). The amendment proposed by Feinstein seeks to insure that ONLY paid reporters who are deemed professional by federal standards should be protected by the “shield laws”. She suggests that citizen reporters and bloggers should not have any protections under the shield laws.
Problem is that a large portion of news stories covered by big media originated from citizen reporters and a number of important issues and cases investigating political or government agency corruption have derived from the work of independent bloggers, whistle-blowers and citizens getting out the news. If they did not…YOU NEVER WOULD HAVE HEARD A THING ABOUT IT!
Then there is the problem with government classifying what is the requirements of a reporter… Think about that. If you do not fall into the realm of “the govt. reporter” then you can be arrested, detained, forced to give up your sources and so on…Quite like is occurring today in various countries around the world!
According to the Committee To Protect Journalists report in 2012 there was over 232 journalists unjustly imprisoned across the world. In 2013, CPJ reported an increase for the year to 211 imprisoned unjustly…simply because they are reporters and journalists. That does not include the beatings, tortures, murder, rape and disappearance of reporters and journalists across the world – FOR THE EXACT SAME REASON THE POLITICIANS AND POWER BROKERS SEEK TO SILENCE REPORTERS AND CITIZENS RIGHT HERE IN THE UNITED STATES!
NYTimes reporter Campbell Robertson, in his January 11, 2014 article “Bloggers Incarceration Raises First Amendment Question” , revealed a case involving a blogger, Roger Shuler, who has been targeted and jailed INDEFINITELY by authorities in Alabama because of his blog attacks against local and State officials for being corrupt. BIG GOVERNMENT does not want the citizens to have a voice or the freedom and liberty to exercise that voice – Nor have the freedom to uncover the truth which is a protected right under the first amendment…it is a natural process of that amendments exercise.
Reporters have released a video channel which clearly show the intent of law enforcement against reporters and journalists here in the US (See: C64BETA ). In 2013 I worked on a special project called D.U.P.A. .(Documenting Unjust Police Aggression) with local NY reporters Lisa Petrocelli and Harold Bryant - a seminar to educate those in the motorcycle culture as to how they may document and report unjust police aggression against themselves and those journalists and citizen reporters covering biker events and how to funnel the news to the media. This information proved valuable and empowering to those in the culture who suffer bias and discrimination by authorities simply because of their lifestyle and beliefs.
If given the powers expressed by Feinstein to amend the federal bill with a discrediting of citizen reporters and bloggers – those citizens in our seminar would instantly become criminals and thereby silenced from their First Amendment Right. Is that our future? Do you desire government controlled media?!

Are Cell Phone Numbers Being Given to Telemarketers?
Rumors that cell phone numbers are going to be released to telemarketers if their owners don't sign up with the Do Not Call registry are false.
Cell phone users must register their numbers with the national "Do Not Call" directory by a given deadline to prevent their cell phone numbers from being released to telemarketers.
Despite dire warnings about the imminent release of cell phone numbers to telemarketers that continue to be circulated via e-mail year after year, cell phone users do not have to register their cell phone numbers with the national Do Not Call registry before a soon-to-pass deadline to head off an onslaught of telemarketing calls. The panic-inducing e-mails (which circulate especially widely every January or June, since many versions of the warning list the end of those months as a cut-off date for registering cell phone numbers with the national Do Not Call registry) grew out of a misunderstanding about the proposed creation of a wireless directory assistance service:
[Collected on the Internet, 2006]
Greetings To All of My Friends and Family
In just 4 days from today all U. S. cell phone numbers will be released to telemarketing companies and you will begin to receive sales calls. You will be charged for these calls! Even if you do not answer, the telemarketer will end up in your voice mail and you will be charged for all of the minutes the incoming (usually recorded) message takes to complete. You will then also be charged when you call your voice mail to retrieve your messages.
To prevent this, call 888-382-1222 from your cell phone. This is the national DO NOT CALL list; it takes only a minute to register your cell phone number and it blocks most telemarketers calls for five years.
In case you have friends other than me, pass this on to them.
JUST A REMINDER… 31 days from today, cell phone numbers are being released to telemarketing companies and you will start to receive sales calls. YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR THESE CALLS…
To prevent this, call the following number from your cell phone: 888-382-1222. It is the national DO NOT CALL list. It will only take a minute of your time. It blocks your number for five (5) years.
PASS THIS ON TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS
A directory of cell phone numbers will soon be published for all consumers to have access to. This will open the doors for solicitors to call you on your cell phones, using up the precious minutes that we pay lots of money for. The Federal Trade Commission has set up a “do not call” list. It is called a cell phone registry. To be included on the “do not call” list, you must call from the number you wish to register.
The number is 1-888-382-1222 or you can go to their website at www.donotcall.gov.
Starting Jan 1, 2005, all cell phone numbers will be made public to telemarketing firms. So this means as of Jan 1, your cell phone may start ringing off the hook with telemarketers, but unlike your home phone, most plans pay for your incoming calls. These telemarketers will eat up your free minutes and end up costing money. According to the National Do Not Call List, you have until Dec 15, 2004 to get on the national “Do Not Call List” for cell phones. You can either call 1-888-382-1222 from the cell phone that you wish to have put on the “do not call list” or you can do it online at www.donotcall.gov.
Registering only takes a minute, is in effect for 5 years. All of you will need to register before Dec 15. You may want to also do your own personal cell phones.
Cell phone numbers have generally been excluded from printed telephone books and directory assistance services. However, since the use of cell phones has burgeoned in recent years (to the point that many people no longer maintain landline phone service), several national wireless companies (AllTel, AT&T Wireless, Cingular, Nextel, Sprint PCS, and T-Mobile) banded together and hired Qsent, Inc. (since purchased by TransUnion) to produce a Wireless 411 service. Their goal was to pool their listings to create a comprehensive directory of cell phone customer names and phone numbers that would be made available to directory assistance providers.
Someone made the wild leap of reasoning that the proposed creation of a cell phone directory was the equivalent of “giving cell phone numbers to telemarketers” and began the chain of wildly inaccurate e-mails warning cell phone users to register with the National Do Not Call List in order to prevent this fate. This warning was overblown, for a couple of major reasons:
The Wireless 411 service was to be strictly “opt-in” — that is, cell phone customers would be included in the directory only if they specifically requested to be added. The phone numbers of wireless customers who did nothing would not be included, those who chose to be listed could have their numbers removed from the directory if they changed their minds, and there was no charge for requesting to be included or choosing not to be included.
The Wireless 411 information was not to be included in printed phone directories, distributed in other printed form, made available via the Internet, or sold to telemarketers. It would be made available only to operator service centers performing the 411 directory assistance service.
All of these points have been summed up in numerous media articles, such as the following from the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
There is a grain of truth in the message making it believable, but it’s wrong on two counts: Not all cell phone numbers will be listed in the national directory planned for 2006. And telemarketers will not have access to the directory. It is illegal for marketers using auto-dialers and most do — to call wireless phone numbers.
Here’s the truth:
A national directory will be compiled, but numbers will be included on an opt-in basis. If a cell phone subscriber does nothing, the number will not be listed. When the directory is ready, it will be available only as part of the existing 411 directory service, accessed by calling in and asking for a specific number. It will not be published in a book or on the Internet. And it will not be sold to telemarketers.
Cell phone subscribers can list their numbers on the do-not-call registry if they choose, but there is no deadline to get on the list, as the e-mail messages now circulating suggest[.]
Cellular users can choose to register their cell numbers with the national Do Not Call registry as an additional measure of protection, although FCC regulations already in place outlaw most types of telemarketing calls to cell phones. (The CAN SPAM Act of 2003 prohibits unsolicited commercial messages to wireless phones, and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 prohibits any calls to cell phones that employ auto-dialers or any artificial or prerecorded voice messages.)
There is not (and never has been) a deadline to list one’s phone number with the national Do Not Call Registry — it can be done at any time. (Contrary to previous statements, the FTC announced in October 2007 that Do Not Call registry entries will not expire after five years, so those who signed up when the registry went into effect in June 2003 will not have to register again in 2008.)
Unfortunately, customers have little recourse against telemarketers who willfully ignore the Do Not Call Registry and violate other restrictions against placing calls to cell phones. Violators can be reported to the FCC, but that organization has limited resources to investigate and take action regarding the thousands of cases reported to them daily.
In March 2013, the FTC published “The Truth About Cell Phones and the National Do Not Call Registry,” in response to recirculating rumors about the national do not call database, cell phones, and telemarketers:
Contrary to re-circulating email:
There is no new cell phone national do not call database. There is only one National Do Not Call Registry. It is operated by the Federal Trade Commission and covers both cell and landline phone numbers.
Registering your cell or landline phone number is free. Once registered, a number stays on the Do Not Call Registry until the registration is canceled or service for the number is discontinued.
There is no deadline for registering a phone number on the Do Not Call Registry.
No numbers on the Do Not Call Registry are being released to telemarketers.

Vary sad but true
And a Man sat alone, drenched deep in sadness. And all the animals drew near to him and said, "We do not like to see you so sad. Ask us for whatever you wish and you shall have it." The Man said, "I want to have good sight." The vulture replied, "You shall have mine." The Man said, "I want to be strong." The jaguar said, "You shall be strong like me." Then the Man said, "I long to know the secrets of the earth." The serpent replied, "I will show them to you." And so it went with all the animals. And when the Man had all the gifts that they could give, he left. Then the owl said to the other animals, "Now the Man knows much, he'll be able to do many things. Suddenly I am afraid." The deer said, "The Man has all that he needs. Now his sadness will stop." But the owl replied, "No. I saw a hole in the Man, deep like a hunger he will never fill. It is what makes him sad and what makes him want. He will go on taking and taking, until one day the World will say, 'I am no more and I have nothing left to give.'"

“Cat Poems” & Other Cats I’ve Encountered in Books Recently
Cat Poems: An enjoyable selection of verse about our feline friends, nicely varied in terms of the time period, original language of composition, and outlook on cats’ contradictory qualities. I was unaware that Angela Carter and Muriel Spark had ever written poetry. There are perhaps too many poems by Stevie Smith – six in total! – though I did enjoy their jokey rhymes.
Some favorite lines:
“Cat sentimentality is a human thing. Cats / are indifferent, their minds can’t comprehend / the concept ‘I shall die’, they just go on living.” (from “Sonnet: Cat Logic” by Gavin Ewart)
“For every house is incomplete without him and a blessing is lacking in the spirit.” (from “Jubilate Agno” by Christopher Smart)
“These adorable things. When my life gives out, they’d eat me up in a second.” (from “I’ll Call Those Things My Cats” by Kim Hyesoon)
Cat Poems was published in the UK on October 4th. My thanks to Serpent’s Tail for the free copy for review.
Even when it’s not a book specifically about cats, cats often turn up in my reading. Maybe it’s simply that I look out for them more since I became a cat owner several years ago. Here are some of the quotes, scenes or whole books featuring cats that I’ve come across this year.
Cats real and imaginary
Stranger on a Train by Jenni Diski: “I find myself astonished that a creature of another species, utterly different to me, honours me with its presence and trust by sitting on me and allowing me to stroke it. This mundane domestic moment is as enormous, I feel at such moments, as making contact across a universe with another intelligence. This creature with its own and other consciousness and I with mine can sit in silence and enjoy each other’s presence. … This is a perfectly everyday scene but sometimes it takes my breath away that another living thing has allowed me into its life.”
Certain American States by Catherine Lacey: “This cat wants to destroy beauty—I can tell. He is more than animal, he is evil, a plain enemy of the world. I wish him ill. I do. Almost daily I find a mess of feathers in the dirt. Some mornings there are whole bird carcasses left on my porch—eyes shocked open, brilliant blue wings, ripped and bloody. I have thought often of what it would take to kill a cat, quietly and quickly, with my bare hands. I have thought of this often. In fact I am thinking of it right now.” (from the story “Because You Have To”)
The Nice and the Good by Iris Murdoch: “Montrose was a large cocoa-coloured tabby animal with golden eyes, a square body, rectangular legs and an obstinate self-absorbed disposition, concerning whose intelligence fierce arguments raged among the children. Tests of Montrose’s sagacity were constantly being devised, but there was some uncertainty about the interpretation of the resultant data since the twins were always ready to return to first principles and discuss whether cooperation with the human race was a sign of intelligence at all. Montrose had one undoubted talent, which was that he could at will make his sleek hair stand up on end, and transform himself from a smooth stripey cube into a fluffy sphere. This was called ‘Montrose’s bird look’.”
Four Bare Legs in a Bed and Other Stories by Helen Simpson: “They found it significant that I called my cat Felony. I argued that I had chosen her name for its euphonious qualities. She used to sink her incisors into the hell of my hand and pause a fraction of a millimeter from breaking the skin, staring at me until her eyes were reduced to sadistic yellow semibreves. She murdered without a qualm. She toyed with her victims, smiling broadly at their squeaks and death throes.
‘Why isn’t she a criminal?’ I asked. …
‘The difference is,’ said Mr Pringle, that we must assume your cat commits her crimes without mischievous discretion.’” (from the story “Escape Clauses”)
In Delia Owens’s Where the Crawdads Sing, Sunday Justice is the name of the courthouse cat. He sits grooming on the courtroom windowsill during the trial and comes in and curls up to sleep in the cell of a particular prisoner we’ve come to care about.
A recommended picture book
My Cat Looks Like My Dad by Thao Lam: I absolutely loved the papercut collage style of this kids’ book. The narrator explains all the ways in which the nerdy-cool 1970s-styled dad resembles the family cat, who is more like a sibling than a pet. “Family is what you make it.” There’s something of a twist ending, too. (Out on April 15, 2019.)
Later today I’m off to America for two weeks, but I’ll be scheduling plenty of posts, including the usual multi-part year-end run-down of my best reads, to go up while I’m away. Forgive me if I’m less responsive than usual to comments and to your own blogs!

Certain American States: Stories by Catherine Lacey
The loneliness of certain American states is enough to kill a person if you look too closely
I come from a certain American state: Maryland. Before I first came to England 15 years ago, I’d never lived anywhere else. It’s the ninth-smallest state but has a little bit of everything – mountains, lakes and farmland; coast and bayfront; rough cities and pleasant towns; plus proximity to the nation’s capital – which is why it’s nicknamed “America in Miniature.” Brits say Merry-Land (it’s more like the name Marilyn, with a faint D on the end) and more than once when asked where I’m from I’ve heard in reply,“like the cookies?” No, not like the cookies!
Anyway, the characters in Catherine Lacey’s short story collection move through various states – Texas, North Dakota, Virginia, Montana – but the focus is more on their emotional states. Ten of the 12 stories are in the first person, giving readers a deep dive into the psyches of damaged or bereaved people. I particularly liked “ur heck box,” in which the narrator, troubled by the death of her brother and wary of her mother joining her in New York City, starts getting garbled messages from a deaf man. Whether a result of predictive text errors or mental illness, these notes on his phone echo her confusion at what’s become of her life.
Two other favorites were “Touching People,” in which a sixty-something woman takes a honeymooning couple to see her ex-husband’s grave, and “Small Differences,” about a woman who’s cat-sitting for her on-and-off boyfriend and remembers the place faith used to have in her life. Both dramatize the divide between youth and age; in the latter the cat is named Echo, a reminder that the past still resonates. Another standout is “Learning,” about a painting teacher with a crumbling house and marriage whose deadbeat college friend has become a parenting guru. (This one reminded me of Curtis Sittenfeld’s “The Prairie Wife.”)
Many of the stories question the possibility of ‘getting over’ what’s happened and posit, instead of total healing, a stoic determination to just keep going. In the title story, the narrator goes to see her godfather, Leonard, on his deathbed. She still doesn’t like him much; the trip isn’t about achieving closure but doing the right thing when you can. The same is true in “Family Physics”: Bridget had an explosive falling-out with her family when they came to see her accept her college Physics Award. Now that she’s back in touch with them everything isn’t perfect, but she sees how family life is always a mixture of entropy and rebuilding.
I prefer this U.S. cover. How about you?
There isn’t as much variety to the narration as I often like from a set of stories, but Lacey uses a range of storytelling techniques (or gimmicks, if one was being unkind) to keep things interesting. The first story, “Violations,” about a man whose ex-wife has published a story drawing on their life together, features run-on sentences that go over the page; “ur heck box” nests parentheses inside parentheses, up to three layers; “Because You Have To,” about a woman who’s counting her blessings even though she’s newly single and surrounded by feral pets, is in short sections separated by asterisks; and “The Four Immeasurables and Twenty New Immeasurables,” narrated by a woman who’s sleeping with a Buddhist monk, is in list form. Lacey also uses no speech marks, setting out dialogue in italics instead.
It can be tough to assess a story collection as a whole because the parts can range from hard-hitting to instantly forgettable. I didn’t always feel that each of the parts was necessary here; perhaps I would have been better off just sampling a few of the best stories? The problem, of course, is that you never know which those would be for you before you open up the book. There were quite a number of lines that rang true for me in Lacey’s work, but no more than a few stories that I can imagine myself recalling or ever going back to in the future. The book feels very much of the moment, though. If you’ve enjoyed recent work by Julie Buntin, R. O. Kwon, Sally Rooney or Sittenfeld, you might want to spend time in Certain American States.
Favorite lines:
“I don’t know what to do now, a state I am so familiar with it feels like my only true home.” (from “Because You Have To”)
“Anyone can visit a graveyard, no matter what they think, and every graveyard has been seen so many times there is nothing left in them for anyone to see and that is why we all must go and look, to see again what’s been seen again” (from “Touching People”)
“I no longer understand the state I was in back then (heartsick over the idea of Jesus the way that other girls were heartsick over the idea of River Phoenix)” (from “Small Differences”)
Certain American States was published in the UK by Granta on September 6th; it came out in the USA on August 7th from Farrar, Straus and Giroux. My thanks to the publisher for the free copy for review.

The Year of Yes
“So much wonderful inspiration from @shondarhimes I loved reading her commencement speech at Dartmouth the most. What will you say yes to this year?”–Reese, January 4, 2016 #yearofyes #RWBookClub Book #21

So much wonderful inspiration from @shondarhimes I loved reading her commencement speech at Dartmouth the most. What will you say yes to this year? #yearofyes #MondayMuse #RWBookClub
A post shared by Reese Witherspoon (@reesewitherspoon) on Jan 4, 2016 at 12:02pm PST
The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away With Murder shares how saying YES changed her life. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” (Los Angeles Times).
She’s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews?
With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. But in truth, she was also afraid. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her.
This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda’s life before her Year of Yes—from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. The book chronicles her life after her Year of Yes had begun—when Shonda forced herself out of the house and onto the stage; when she learned to explore, empower, applaud, and love her truest self. Yes.
“Honest, raw, and revelatory” (The Washington Post), this wildly candid and compulsively readable book reveals how the mega talented Shonda Rhimes finally achieved badassery worthy of a Shondaland character. Best of all, she “can help motivate even the most determined homebody to get out and try something new” (Chicago Tribune).
An Amazon Best Book of November 2015: I usually shy away from books with titles like Year of Yes – hokey, I think, or glib. Besides, I don’t need a self-help manual; I like to take my self-empowerment lying down, on the couch. Except… except that Rhimes, the creator/producer of such intelligent TV shows as Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal is not only wiser, funnier, and cooler than your average therapist – she’s also been there, if “there” is the land of the angry, scared and emotionally dysfunctional. Never mind that she graduated from Dartmouth, is a proud and loving mother to her three kids, AND owns Thursday night TV, Rhimes was a mess until her sister made a chance remark at Thanksgiving – “You never say Yes to anything.” That’s when Rhimes decided not only to face her fears but to hug the life out of them. (OK, so some of her fears involve wearing a Carolina Herrera dress, gorgeous shoes and showing up at a star-studded benefit… but hey, fears is fears.) Rhimes found that saying Yes sometimes, paradoxically, also meant saying no, too – as in, and this is my version, Yes, I want to be a thin person. No I don’t want to eat a whole pecan pie in one sitting because I’m more lonely than hungry. She also discovered that self-acceptance doesn’t always go smoothly: as she pithily observes, sometimes the people who loved you when you were angry, dark and “twisty” don’t like to hang around when you lighten up. So what, she says. At least you’ve figured out how to live more or less happily ever after — with yourself. – Sara Nelson
“Rhimes is, unsurprisingly, a fantastic memoirist: Her writing is conversational and witty and lyrical, inflected with the supple human breathiness you might expect from a person who spends her days writing dialogue. It features lots of great punchlines…It features occasional, chatty, second-person asides…[It] is also in many ways a side-door self-help book…[with] pieces of advice that concern not just Rhimes’s readers, but everyone. …Year of Yes is a book about the shifts taking place in Hollywood right now,and in the world right now, in the guise of a friendly memoir. It is, like Shondaland itself, making a statement. It is insisting that it is time for the people who used to be invisible to come forward and be seen.”—Atlantic.com
“Revealing and delightful.”— New York Daily News
“There’s real value in the experiences Rhimes shares… When, for example, she discusses learning to take better care of herself, the memoir feels honest, raw and revelatory.”— The Washington Post
“A sincere and inspiring account of saying yes to life…Rhimes tells us all about it in the speedy, smart style of her much-loved TV shows. She’s warm, eminently relatable, and funny… Like a cashmere shawl you pack just in case, Year of Yes is well worth the purse space, and it would make an equally great gift. Rhimes said “yes” to sharing her insights . Following her may not land you on the cover of a magazine, but you’ll be glad you did.”—Kirkus
“If you enjoy the rapid-fire dialogue of her characters, reading this book will feel like home. Rhimes opens up, and inspires, discussing her personal experiences as a sister, daughter, mother, friend and boss tempered with biting insights on societal expectations of women…[a] blend of biography and badassery.” — Ebony.com

By Harry Hoogstraal
The Smian distribution picture is a curious one. Although we have a fair number of collections from cattle in that half of Equatoria Province that is east of the Nile, none contain spec. imens of B. annulatus except two from high altitudes ( from Katira, 3500 feet eIevation, 19 from Nagichot, 6500 fee eleva. tion) and one from Torit, at the general two thousand foot level of the plains in this area. Yet collections from the southern part of Upper Nile Province, which is just north of the east bank of Equatoria Province, include a good number of specimens. Cli. matic, faunal, or floral differences can hardly account for the rarity of B. annulatus in Torit and Juba districts. The most easterly reco~, Upper Nile Province, is on the Ethiopian frontier (7°47'N., 33°0l'E.). 0n the west bank of the Nile, this species is here recorded from several localities to as far north as Talodi, Kordofan Province (l0°37'N.).
Some specimens reach the Halfa Quarantine station in Northern Province but Boo hilus ticks have never been collected from indigo. nous cattle in Nofihern Province.
Thus far we know B. annulatus only from West Africa, Central Africa, and certain parts of southern Sudan near the periphery of East African biotic Provinces. As early as 1905, Donitz recognized that this tick inhabited only "tropical Africa" a.nd was absent in eastern and southern Africa. He tentatively applied the name B. australis Fuller to it, although he stated clearly that he could not differentiate African material from descriptions of American B. annulatus. Unfortunately, he had no American specimens for comnari son for it appears that this perspicacious student might otherwise have saved future generations much misunderstanding. Instead, this species subsequently has been either completely overlooked or subjected to numerous ambiguous remarks and names.
Many African specimens undoubtedly have been identified as Q. decoloratus, and earlier workers who have recognized specimens as dflferent from l_3. decoloratus have referred to them by various names. The actual species with which various investigators were dealing cannot be determined without seeing their specimens. For instance, Nuttell's lots identified as B. australis, which have
been examined in British Museum (Natural History), contain both B. decoloratus and B. annulatus.
§. annulatus is a North American cattle tick that one may assume e¥I§I5EII§ parasitized deer and buffalo. It also has been introduced into the Mediterranean basin. In North Africa and the Near East, it frequently is referred to as B. calcaratus (Birula, 1894), to which Minning appended several subspecies. These all appear to be the same as American and African populations of B. annulatus. The name also has been used by students of the OrIental auna examination of pertinent specimen material is indicated to establish the validity of these identifications.
Records presented below are the only ones from Africa that are known to pertain to B. annulatus, with a few additional, annotated references that Eight 55 pertinent. Quite possibly other isolated populations are maintaining themselves outside of the pesently recognized range of the Texas fever tick in the Ethiopian Faunal Region, having been introduced on cattle from West or North Africa, the Near East, or North America.
wssr AFRICA: NIGERIA (Hoogstraal 195/.0). LIBERIA (Specimens from cattle at Harbel, Firestone Rubber Company Plantation, H. A. Beatty le it; 1412 collections). smmu LEONE (Hoogstraal 1951.0). PCRT GUINEA: B. (= Margaropus) annulatus listed by bbnteiro a Costa (1926) and Sant'anna Barreto (1929); quoted by Tendeiro (195lA), but not subsequently repeated in faunal lists by this author although it would not be suprising to find this tick herei7
NOTE: Records below are for QB. congolensi '.
CENTRAL AFRICA: FRENCH EQUATORIAL AFRICA (Minning 1934. Rous~ ot B. heiler and Robinson 1951.). cmmaoous (Rageau l953A,B). BELGIAN CONGO (Theiler and Robinson 1954. Minning 1934 stated, apparently as a guess, that the B. annulatus calcaratus specimens of Newstead, Dutton, and Todd 1909, fron1Coq§Ilh§tville,
are TB. coEgolensis').
EAST AFRICA: SUDAN (Hoogstraal l95LB,C. Balfour l9llF referred to NE. australis" in the Sudan, but since he also stated that B. decoloratus is absent there his remarks are difficult to
interpret).
Cattle (All references). Rarely giant eland and domestic donkey (Sudan records above). In America, other domestic animals, deer S and buffalo have been reported as infrequent hosts (Cooley 1946 .
Like other boophilids, the Texas fever tick is a single host parasite. Its life cycle has not been studied in Africa, where it is not known to occur under cold conditions.
Lfter dropping from the host, the female commences oviposition in about three or four days but after twenty to forty days in winter (southern United States). The oviposition period ranges from eight or nine days in summer to 42 days in winter. The mxmber of eggs average 1911, with a maacinnnn of 3806. With abundant moisture, eggs may hatch in as little as from 17 to 21 days, but up to 1.1. days is more common. Winter incubation may require between five and six months. A few hours after hatching, larvae collect in masses at the tip of grass, and may remain alive from 49 to 159 days awaiting a host. Once an animal is found larvae prefer. entially attach to the legs, belly, or dewlap, but if numerous they are found everywhere on the body. The larvaJ.._nymphal molt occurs seven to twelve days later and nymphs molt to adults five to ten days afterwards. Females feed for from four to fourteen days, during which tim they mate, and then drop to the ground, oviposit, and die. These data are extracted from the very com. plete work of Hunter and Hooker (1907) in the United States.
Most African specimens are from collections containing more numerous §. decoloratus, with the exception that during the rainy season the mm rs o B. annulatus have in some instances exceeded those of §. decoloratu-s‘. In Eameroons (Rageau 1953B), this tick is less common EE 5. decoloratus but both species are found to.gether. Our first s1_1sp'i'ci' on, that this might be a species ac
climated to humid West Africa, is negated by finding it in Sudan localities with long, severely hot, dry seasons. The Texas fever tick occurs in the Sudan in areas with from 800 mm. to 1500 mm. annual rainfall.
The ecology of Q. annulatus is unstudied in Africa and the results of research on tfls su53ect are awaited with considerable interest. In North and Central America, §. annulatus is entirely a tropical and subtropical tick that dies out when Introduced into the northern states.
DISEASE RELATIOPS
Unstudied in Africa. B. annulatus in America is the famed vector of Texas fever of cattle lgagsia bigemina).
Minning (1934) considered West African populations to differ from New World B. annulatus and called them B. co olensis. Nu... merous _l§. anmzlatus specimens from the United a es an entral America have en examined in collections of British Museum (Natural History), Roclqr Mountain Laboratory, Museum of Comparative Zofilogy, as well as Louisiana material kindly presented by Dr. F. C. Bishopp from United States Department of Agriculture collections. None of these can be distinguished from African "_1§. co§golensis".
The chief characters presented for differentiating males are the pointed outer spur of coxa I of "§. co lensis" and the blunt outer spur of coxa I of Q. annulatus. In a %ew Brican specimens this spur is blunt, in many Erican specimens pointed. The American specimens in the Nu:tta‘Ll collections at British Museum (Natural History) are mostly blunt..spurred with few pointed_.spur specimens, but those at the Rocky Mountain Laboratory in Montana are almost entirely pointed...spurred. Specimens from Louisiana in the present collection have pointed spurs. It is evident, therefore, that this character is a variable one with no diagnostic significance as to species. The shape of the eyes of African and American specimens is similar. Examination of other so called dif.
ferentiating characters has also failed to reveal differences.
Similarly, no points of differentiation may be detected be. tween female specimens from Africa and America. The chief diag. nostic characters proposed for these, arching of the eyes and shape of the distal margin of the third palpal segment, appear similar, as are all other morphological features of specimens from both continents. Minning stated that the scutum of Amer. ican B. annulatus bears hairs and the scutum of ‘B. co olensis" does hot. §veral African specimens with scutal hairs & some American B. annulatus without scutal hairs are available, though they may have Been rubbed off the latter.
Theiler (194312) has already observed that the relation of the position of the eye to scutal margin in Boophilus ticks is subject to variation according to degree of engorgement. As already stated (page 296) no differences between length/width ratio of the female scutum can be determined in field..collected material of each species.
As stated above, it appears that there are no constant differences between American and African populations of B. anrru... latus. Likewise, it is impossible to differentiate betw'e'en_Er.. ican and African populations of B. annulatus, and specimens col. lected in North Africa, seutherh‘mmie1E1epe, the Near East, which Minning loc. cit.) referred to as B. schulzei and as B. calcara. t_u_s subspp. —- - _
In their classic work on this parasite in America, Hunter and Hooker (1907) open by observing -It is safe to state that no more important problem than the eradication of ...... (B. annulatus) confronts the farmers of any country. Not only the cattle raising industry but the whole economic condition of a large section of country is affected‘.
The Texas fever tick is now completely eradicated from the United States except for periodic introductions from Mexico, where it still exists. At the turn of the century it ranged through Mexico and the sixteen southern states of the United States from the Atlantic to the Pacific. The history..ma1cing discovery by Smith and Kilbourne (1893) that Babesia bi emina is the cause of Texas fever of cattle was fo].IB@"'5y tfieir finding that this tick is the vector. The life history and morphology of the tick have been reported handsomely by Curtice

Policy Press
Women of power: Half a century of female presidents and prime ministers worldwide
Skard, Torild
Policy Press, 30.7.2014 - 576 sivua
CHOICE OUTSTANDING ACADEMIC TITLE 2015 Do women national leaders represent a breakthrough for the women’s movement, or is women’s leadership weaker than the numbers imply? This unique book, written by an experienced politician and academic, is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of how and why women in 53 countries rose to the top in the years since World War II. Packed with fascinating case studies detailing the rise to power of all 73 female presidents and prime ministers from around the world, from 1960 (when the first was elected) to 2010, the motives, achievements and life stories of the female top leaders, including findings from interviews carried out by the author, provide a nuanced picture of women in power. The book will have wide international appeal to students, academics, government officials, women’s rights activists and political activists, as well as anyone interested in international affairs, politics, social issues, gender and equality.

Books Can Save A Life
"Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive." Barry Lopez
Valorie Grace Hallinan
Tag Archives: Four Seasons in Rome
Books from Around the World, Under Our Tree
December 28, 2014 By Valorie Grace Hallinan in Books, Bookstores, Cooking, Creativity, Fiction, Gardening, History, Nature, Nonfiction, Novels, Photography, Poetry, Travel Tags: 99u, A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes, Anthony Doerr, Basho, Behance, Berlin Wonderland, Cereal: Travel & Leisure, Emily Dickinson, Emily Dickinson: The Gorgeous Nothings, Four Seasons in Rome, Karl Ove Nausgaard, Man Booker Prize, Manage Your Day-to-Day, My Struggle, RHS Vegetables for the Gourmet Gardener, Royal Horticultural Society, Southern Light: Images from Antarctica, The Narrow Road to the Deep North, When Paris Went Dark 6 Comments
The Narrow Road to the Deep North, by Richard Flanagan. This World War II novel about an Australian surgeon in a Japanese POW camp won the 2014 Man Booker Prize. (The purpose of this UK prize is to bring quality fiction to intelligent general readers who might otherwise not hear about the work.) The prisoners helped build what became known as the Thailand-Burma Death Railway. The books is named after one of the most famous books in Japanese literature, written by the 17th century Japanese poet Matsuo Basho. I plan to read the books together. I’ll let you know how that works out.
A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes, by David Tanis I like this cookbook because it’s about eating with the seasons, and it features uncomplicated family meals you can easily make at home. Sections include “How to Cook a Rabbit,” “Feeling Italian,” “Nuevo Mexico,” “Peasant from a Parisian Kitchen,” and “Hot Day, Cold Chicken.” David Tanis is the head chef at Chez Panisse in Berkeley six months of the year; the other six months he lives in Paris, where he prepares meals in a tiny galley kitchen for his private dining club. I will read any cookbook affiliated with Alice Waters and Chez Panisse. My son bought this book at Spoonbill & Sugartown Booksellers in Williamsburg.
Cereal: Travel & Lifestyle Magazine, Vol. 8 Click on this link right now and visit Cereal, a stunningly photographed and designed magazine and online journal. This volume features, among other things, a section on Yukon, Canada with spreads on Kluane National Park & Reserve and the Demptster Highway which leads to the Arctic Circle. (Someone in the family has been to the Arctic Circle via the Dalton Highway.) This mag’s style and visual aesthetic reminded me of a cookbook and lifestyle book I received last Christmas, The Kinfolk Table: Recipes for Small Gatherings. (Kinfolk is a magazine, too.) So I got out the book and saw there are a couple of recipes and a profile of food writer Rosa Park, who happens to be the editor of Cereal. Both Cereal and Kinfolk are beautifully designed and photographed, wonderful for browsing.
Southern Light: Images from Antarctica, by David Neilson. Someone in our family dreams of visiting Antarctica. This is a luscious collection of black and white and color photos, including several gatefolds that open up to three panels of photos on each side. At least seven kinds of penguins, all the major mountain ranges, Deception and Elephant Islands, historic exploration sites, and essays on climate change, too. Our son bought this book at Strand Books in New York. (“Come for the books and stay for the synth musik.”)
RHS Vegetables for the Gourmet Gardener, by Simon Akeroyd. To feed my gardening habit and enrich my gardening and nature writing. RHS stands for Royal Horticultural Society, the UK’s leading gardening charity. This beautiful book was designed and produced by Quid Publishing in England, the same publisher that produced another volume I own, RHS Latin for Gardeners.
Our son purchased this at Daunt Books for Travellers in London. On the bookmark tucked inside: “The heart of Daunt Books is an original Edwardian bookshop with long oak galleries and graceful skylights. Its soul is the unique arrangement of books by country – where guides, novels, and nonfiction of all kinds will interest traveller and browser alike.” If I ever get to London this shop will be on my bookstore list.
Four Seasons in Rome: On Twins, Insomnia, and the Biggest Funeral in the History of the World, by Anthony Doerr. If you read my blog, you know I’ve been wild about Anthony Doerr lately. His novel, All the Light We Cannot See, was a National Book Award finalist and has become a bestseller. He happened to visit Rome when Pope John Paul II was dying and attended the vigil. I can’t wait to see Doerr’s take on this fabulous city.
Emily Dickinson: The Gorgeous Nothings, by Marta Werner, a scholar of poetry, and Jen Bervin, a visual artist. No other book is quite like this one – a work of art, a facsimile publication of Emily Dickinson’s poems as she wrote them on fifty-two envelopes. These artifacts let the reader see Emily’s original line breaks and words spread across the entire space of a page, together with variant word lists that are meant to be part of the texts themselves. Reading these poems in their original medium, as opposed to in a traditional typeset book, is an entirely different experience.
My Struggle, Book Three, by Karl Ove Knausgaard. My son has read the first two autobiographical novels in the hugely popular series (there are to be six!) by the Norwegian author, published in 22 languages. I hope to tackle the first two volumes myself this year.
Berlin Wonderland: Wild Years Revisited 1990 – 1996 Amazing photos by seven photographers documenting the wild, artistic subculture that bloomed after the Berlin Wall came down. One of our sons is studying in Germany and bought this at Hundt Hammerstein in Berlin, a gift for the photographer in our family. The text is in English and German.
Manage Your Day-to-Day: Build Your Routine, Find Your Focus & Sharpen Your Creative Mind, edited by Jocelyn K. Glei. This is a great little book about how to meet creative goals and fulfill your calling rather than spend your days reacting to the demands of social media and new technology – a huge issue creative souls in the past did not have to deal with. Creative work, in the context of this book, can be anything from painting to starting a business to launching a volunteer effort or charity drive.
These very short articles by creatives and thought leaders like Seth Godin and Gretchen Rubin are practical and full of wisdom. I love this tiny red and black book and decided to pass it on to my photographer son (the industrial designer has browsed through it, too.) The most important take-away for me: disconnect from the Internet and get creative work done first thing, NO MATTER WHAT. Produced by Behance, which “is on a mission to empower the creative world.” (See: http://www.99u.com; http://www.behance.com)
If you believe books can help us survive adversity, heal, live more fully, and change in ways we never thought we could – or if you simply can’t live without books – this blog is for you.
I grew up in a family affected by mental illness. For me, books were a lifeline – my mentors and teachers, my inspiration, my passage to different worlds both real and imagined.
Books Can Save a Life is about literary fiction and nonfiction that touch us personally, enrich our lives, and awe us with the beauty and power of good writing.
Books can save lives on a grand scale, too, so you’ll also find here writers with provocative things to say about our future.
My Excavating a Life posts about the memoir writing life include wisdom from artists & writers who can inspire our creative practices.

If stories come to you, care for them. And learn to give them away where they are needed. Sometimes a person needs a story more than food to stay alive. That is why we put these stories in each other's memory. This is how people care for themselves.

Maine State Rep. Jennifer DeChant Sought Corporate ‘Talking Points’ to ‘Counter’ Activists
When faced last year with growing criticism over her plans to propose a $60-million tax deal to one of Maine’s largest private employers, state Rep. Jennifer DeChant turned to an apparently reliable ally: the very company she was advocating for.
“Jon- I am sure you have seen the Op Ed piece below,” DeChant said in a Dec. 4 email to Bath Iron Works attorney Jon Fitzgerald, following the publication that same day of a commentary in Portland’s Press Herald by peace activist Bruce Gagnon, titled, “General Dynamics has no business asking for more tax breaks.”
DeChant continued, “I am looking for some talking points to counter this.” She suggested they would be used in an upcoming meeting with constituents.
“Jennifer, Thanks for the note,” Fitzgerald wrote back that same morning. “I should have talking points to you tomorrow.”
Twenty minutes later, DeChant replied, “Thanks. The comparative research will be helpful.”
The email exchanges were made available to a reporter following a Maine Freedom of Access Act (FOAA) records request filed in December. They detail efforts by DeChant and Fitzgerald to counter the chorus of protesters opposed to the proposed subsidy package to Bath Iron Works, a division of defense behemoth General Dynamics.
Fitzgerald provided the requested “Talking Points” the next day, Dec. 5, in a 6:21 p.m. email to DeChant:
“Jennifer, Attached please take a look at these Talking Points. I am happy to discuss and welcome any feedback you may have. They will certainly be refined over time, but I wanted you to have something in hand.
“I am available at your convenience, thanks for your sponsoring.”
The attachment contains what have become familiar public arguments in defense of the tax bill, including the number of Mainers employed and recently hired by BIW, the apparent competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry, and the continual need to upgrade the Bath shipyard, among other points.
DeChant and Fitzgerald did not immediately respond to requests for comment on this story. When reached by phone Gagnon, a leading opponent of the bill, said the email disclosures were “absolutely offensive,” however, “not at all surprising.”
“We’ve always known all along that this thing was coming out of BIW,” he said. “They’re really calling the shots.”
In the emails, DeChant and Fitzgerald also discuss the details of the bill, and choosing cosponsors for the legislation. The emails suggest Bath Iron Works played a key role in the drafting of the legislation, which does not specify the company by name.
“[H]appy to host a working lunch or whatever works for you,” Fitzgerald said in a Dec. 8 email to DeChant. “At that time, I will have the expanded list of city/town BIW employment, a draft of the legislation, a multi-page listing of state, county and municipal assistance provided to Ingalls in Mississippi. It would be great to get specific on co-sponsors and any other details you require.”
Ingalls Shipbuilding is a BIW rival based in Pacagoula, Miss. Bath Iron Works has argued the renewal of a 1997 tax deal from Maine is essential to maintaining the company’s competitiveness with Ingalls, which has received considerable subsidies from its state.
After a reply from DeChant, the two agreed to meet at Bath Iron Works’ offices.
“[W]ould you like me to order lunch?” Fitzgerald wrote. “I would get something from the Sandwich Shop. If that works for you, let me know what you would like, they usually have fish chowder on Friday.”
“Sounds good,” DeChant replied. “Turkey sandwich. Thank you.”
Three days later DeChant followed up with Fitzgerald, indicating she had more “ideas on messaging” and inquiring about a separate shipyard that went bust, presumably to bolster their case for corporate tax credits to BIW.
“Jon- I have some really good ideas on messaging going forward on this project you might find helpful,” DeChant wrote. “Can you remind me the shipyard that failed? Where was it? What was it named?”
Also involved in discussions was attorney Daniel W. Walker, chair of the Government Affairs Practice Group at the firm Preti Flaherty.
“Jennifer, Attached please find the draft for submission to the Revisor’s Office,” Walker wrote on Dec. 14. “I’d be happy to submit if you’d like. If you submit it, please let them know that we are working together on this legislation and that they should feel free to call or contact us with any questions.”
On Dec. 14, DeChant again became concerned about public pressure against her bill, following the publication of a letter to the editor by Gagnon in The Coastal Journal, of Bath.
“Hi Jon- Have you see the LTE by Bruce Gagnon. Is there a communications plan around responding, etc.? I hope this bill is run early. Jennifer.”
“[W]e are working to make sure we are communicating internally as well as externally,” Fitzgerald responded about one hour later. “That being said, Bruce is a one man band who is also using this as an opportunity to raise the profile of his organization and its central message. While I have no doubt about the sincerity of his convictions, he is attempting to frame the debate about General Dynamics and to demonize the ‘big bad corporation.’ I am not going to oblige him and debate with him on his terms in the media.”
Fitzgerald continued, “BIW builds complex ships for the Navy, a customer that actually exists, with money, wants to buy ships, but wants them as inexpensively as they can get them…I will be reaching out to the many Maine businesses which support BIW through products and services to lend their voice.
“I agree earlier in session the better, I have no illusions about the difficulty we may have amidst the Medicaid expansion debate.
“Nevertheless, BIW appreciates your willingness to work in support of this legislative request and will do everything we can to support you in that effort. Jon.”

Lisa Savage says:
If Bruce Gagnon is a one man band why have dozens of others written letters to the editor, testified at the public hearing for LD1781, and posted to social media opposing this blatant corporate welfare request?
Jack Lincoln says:
Liberal Dems were so angry at the corporate give-aways in the trump tax bill – and rightfully so! But now, our Bath area liberal democratic state senator and representativeBath are pushing a $60,000,000 corporate give-away to General Dynamics — for their corporate officers and shareholders — not to orient toward a peace time and earth preserving technology.
Our very Democracy is being co-opted by the military industrial complex, as the great Presentation Dwight Eoisenhower warned in 1959.
First we must stop this robbery of our Maine treasury, and then we must replace Sen. Vitelli and Rep. DeChant in November with true progressive state representation.
Joyce Katzberg says:
That’s an awful lot of back and forth concern over a “one man band”. Keep it up Bruce! (and all of the rest of your band members, too)
From Bruce Gagnon’s Fb wall: Where is our Solidarity?
General Dynamics is asking the Maine legislature for $60 million in corporate welfare. It’s top CEO made $21 million last year and they have so much cash on hand that between 2009-2017 GD bought back $14.4 billion of their own stocks driving up market share. There are now 43,000 kids living in poverty in Maine. There is no money to fix pot hole filled roads and our bridges are deemed ‘deficient’ by DOT. Thousands in Maine have no health care. In rural Maine hospitals, schools and factories are closing. What could Maine do with $60 million that GD does not really need?
I learned about solidarity as a union organizer with the United Farm Workers Union. In the spirit of solidarity with those in need across Maine I will be doing an open-ended hunger strike starting February 12 to try to stop LD 1781 in Augusta. I will stand in front of BIW at noon and 3:30 pm each work day during the hunger strike with a sign and hand out flyers to the workers.

As a letterer, I see a lot of scripts from a lot of different writers. Above all else, simplicity and specificity are what make for the best form. Often the editor and letterer have to comb through a malformed script and tidy it up before the next step in the creative process. Common mistakes are probably the result of not seeing other writers' form; a lot of comics freelancers tend to work in a vacuum. Comics scripts share their roots with playwriting/screenwriting, but have some specific differences, as you'll see.
When I started thinking about putting together an article, the work of Fred Van Lente sprung to mind as probably the best example of script writing that I currently work with. Fred's good habits and attention to detail make working with one of his scripts a real pleasure, and a blast to read! I was thrilled when Fred (and Dark Horse) gave me permission to use the following page from BRAIN BOY #1.
Below, you'll see a page of Fred's script, written in MS Word, (the industry standard) that has numbered bullets corresponding to a breakdown, below.
1) A page header with the book title, number and writer's name.
2) Each new script page should begin on a new document page. And you can't miss the page number when it's big and bold. Often, I have to skim through a script to look for a note or direction. Big page numbers help tremendously.
3) Panel numbers almost as bold and clear as the page number.
4) Panel descriptions for the most part don't have to be that lengthy unless it's really necessary. The actions of characters should be here, (not in the lettering area; see #6) set direction, and notes to the other members of the creative team if necessary.
5) Also, the digital age has given us the greatest source of reference that comic creators have ever had access to. Links to reference photos should also be included in the panel description.
6) Under each panel description is the lettering area. Everything that needs to be lettered goes here.
7) Each item in the lettering area should be numbered. If the editor is doing lettering placements, these numbers correspond to the placements sent to the letterer.
8) The call-out of each lettering item and any descriptors like these:
CHARACTER (OFF), meaning the character is speaking from off-panel.
CHARACTER (WHISPER), self-explanatory.
CHARACTER (BURST), meaning the dialogue is shouted and should be in a burst balloon.
CHARACTER (WEAK), character's dialogue should be diminished.
CHARACTER (SINGING), self-explanatory. Usually accompanied by music notes.
9) Like dialogue, captions have their own descriptors:
NARRATION or CAPTION (CHARACTER), self-explanatory. The inner thoughts of a character.
CAPTION (TIME/PLACE), such as, "New York, 2013."
CAPTION (VOICE OVER), meaning the character is speaking, but is not in the location shown in the current panel.
10) SFX, self-explanatory, "sound effect".
11) Dialogue should be indented, NOT tabbed over. If you use tabs, the letterer has to run find/replace searches on the document to delete them all before lettering. (To use indents in MS Word, go: Format / Paragraph / Indents & Spacing.) Dialogue should also be written in plain sentence case, not CAPS.
12) Dialogue that should be bold in the comic, should be bold and/or underlined in the script. If you use caps for bold dialogue, the letterer will have to convert it to sentence case before lettering.
13) Non-English dialogue should be italic. Whole blocks of dialogue that are translated into English, should begin with a < and end with a >, and are usually accompanied by a caption explaining what language is being spoken.
As you can see, simplicity and common sense rule the day. As soon as a script is turned in, it's the touchstone for the rest of the entire creative team. We want to be able to absorb the story you're telling with the least amount of clutter or confusion. It's makes our jobs that much easier.
If you would like a copy of Fred Van Lente's superb MS Word comic script templates for free, visit this page of his website!
Now, let's take a look at how that scripted page turned out in the finished comic...
I'd like to thank Scott Allie, Simon Bowland, Jeff Powell, Jim Gibbons, and of course, Fed Van Lente, for their input.

Over-Criminalization and its Effects on Corporate America, Part I
Richard Levick | LEVICK
There’s no shortage of corporations in recent years that have committed abhorrent crimes and deserve whatever punishment they’ve gotten. If a company maliciously defrauds investors and clients (look no further than Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC), or deliberately lies about the dangers of its products (raise your hand, Takata and Volkswagen Group!), then crocodile tears need not be shed about the censure it receives.

A blood test for predicting postpartum depression?
By Coco Ballantyne on February 2, 2009
Identifying women at risk for postpartum depression might be as easy as measuring hormone levels in the blood during pregnancy, suggests a study published today in the Archives of General Psychiatry.
"We found a hormone that is produced by the placenta during pregnancy that is a good predictor of postpartum depression," says lead author Ilona Yim, a psychologist at the University of California in Irvine. Using blood tests to measure this hormone might one day help doctors identify mothers-to-be at risk for postpartum depression (PPD).
After childbirth, many women suffer from the "baby blues"—mood swings, anxiety, sadness, and difficulty sleeping that typically clear up within 10 days. But some new moms suffer from PPD that can last for months and often requires psychotherapy and/or antidepressants.
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services estimates that some 13 percent of women in the U.S. suffer from depression during pregnancy and/or in the weeks or months following childbirth; some studies put the number higher, suggesting PPD affects up to 19 percent of mothers. There are certain risk factors associated with PPD, including a history of mental illness and drug and alcohol abuse.
Yim and her colleagues followed 100 pregnant women in southern California throughout their pregnancies and for approximately nine weeks after their babies were born.
The researchers at five intervals (15, 19, 25, 31 and 37 weeks) tested their subjects' blood levels of placental corticotropin-releasing hormone (pCRH), a hormone that normally climbs during pregnancy to prepare the body for birth and that they suspected might be linked to PPD.
About nine weeks after each woman delivered, the scientists asked each one to complete a survey on whether she had any PPD symptoms. The researchers discovered that the women who developed PPD all had a surge of pCRH on or around their 25th week of pregnancy; 75 percent of the 16 women identified with the condition had more than 56.86 picograms per milliliter of pCRH in their blood compared with only 24 percent of those who did not develop PPD.
Yim says she's optimistic that further research may confirm her findings and that pCRH may one day be used to predict postpartum depression.

The topper on Chokegate
If there’s a contest to see who can write the most over-the-top response to Todd Grantham’s Crime of the Century stupid choking gesture, it’s officially over. John Clay has managed to make Tony Barnhart look reasonable by comparison. It’s not simply that he’s called for Grantham to be fired, or even that he’s tossed out this O tempora! O mores! plea:
… Have college athletics become so mercenary, so dollar-oriented it would let something so egregious — a coach of one team making insulting gestures and screaming obscenities at a player on the other team — slide? Will we excuse anything and everything in the name of winning?
No, what closes the deal is that he actually attempts to find some equivalence (“On a related note…”) between the incident and the tragic death at Notre Dame of Declan Sullivan.
Unless someone tries to compare Grantham to Osama bin Laden, I think we’re done here.

Got to drive those advertising dollars somehow.
Exactly. That’s why I’m done with the AJC and will not click on anymore links to these ridiculous “articles”.
devildawg
I deleted AJC from my bookmarks. It’s not like I was getting much of anything read-worthy there anyway, aside from an occasional 10-at-10 or something. There’s less ridiculous places to get coverage.
From GatorBait
“After Georgia defensive coordinator Todd Grantham directed a choking gesture at him in overtime last Saturday night in Jacksonville, Florida kicker Chas Henry did something a tad unconventional for the manly world of football.
“I blew him a little kiss,” Henry said Wednesday.
According to Henry, the move didn’t sit too well with Grantham.
“That may be why he got a little upset,” Henry said. “He did [the choke gesture] again.”
When the time came to kick, Henry didn’t choke.
Quite the opposite.
With the pressure on and Florida’s Southeastern Conference eastern division hopes hanging in the balance, the senior calmly nailed a 37-yard field goal to give the Gators a 34-31 win.
Not long after the game ended, images of Grantham taunting Henry surfaced and hit the Internet hard. The incident quickly drew attention nationwide and caused some in the media to call for Grantham, who later said he regretted making the gesture, to be fined and/or suspended.
But unlike many, Henry isn’t upset with Grantham. Not even a little.
In fact, he laughed about the episode Wednesday and suggested talk that Grantham should be punished was absurd.
“It was in the middle of a game,” Henry said. “It’s an intense game. It’s one of the most intense rivalries in college football. ? It’s just football. I think it’s ridiculous what people are trying to say that he should have to apologize for it and everything, or that he should be fined.”
For Henry, a Georgia native, the thrill from making Saturday’s game-winning kick hasn’t yet disappeared. And it’s easy to understand why.
A standout punter, Henry was pressed into placekicking duties in Week 5 after starter Caleb Sturgis was sidelined by a stress fracture in his back. Henry made two field goals against Alabama, but then missed four straight, including a potential game-tying kick in the final minute of a loss to Mississippi State.
Henry also missed a 42-yarder against Georgia in the first quarter, but rebounded to make one from 34 yards out in the fourth quarter and, of course, his overtime attempt.
“Going into the game, I knew it was going to be my redemption week,” Henry said.
Henry’s walkoff winner was the first for Florida in 21 years. In a 16-13 victory at LSU in 1989, Tampa native Arden Czyzewski put one through as time expired.
Since his memorable kick, Henry’s phone has been bombarded.
Asked how many people he had heard from, Henry said, “Probably like 80 or so.”
The messages he has received, from both texts and on Facebook, were welcome.
“It’s good to hear from everybody,” Henry said. “Even after the Mississippi State game, I got a lot of messages of support. It was nice.””
*yawn*
Or what really started the whole thing:
“I see that they’d taken a timeout and I looked over at their coach and I started laughing, like, ‘You’re going to ice me? I’m not even the kicker. You’re going to ice me?’” Henry said today. “So I start looking and I see the guy doing the choke. I look at him again and he does like, ‘You’re gonna choke.’ So I take my helmet off and I gave him a little smooch at him. I blew him a little kiss.”
h/t Emerson
Yea, a 20 year old baited a 44 year old to acting like an ass.
The fact that Clay can write an entire “Will we excuse anything and everything in the name of winning?!?!” column without once mentioning Chris Rainey’s presence on the field that game pretty much tells you everything you need to know about how warped his priorities are.
Hm. Meant to put 1. That’s what you get for doing this on your phone in a rush.
Absolutely correct. 100%
“The fact that Clay can write an entire “Will we excuse anything and everything in the name of winning?!?!” column without once mentioning Chris Rainey’s presence on the field . . . ”
Or mentioning the hiring of John Calipari.
+eleventy billion. No one from Lexington should be lecturing anyone else on what a university will do in the name of winning.
The crazier the media/UF fans are getting about it the more proud I am becoming of it. Maybe we should take up a collection to have the choke memorialized in a painting in the style other great moments in our football history have been recorded. By the way, Chas Henry is officially off my s#%t list for handling this like a grown man. Good luck kid, sorry your Mama named you that.
Good points both. Unfortunately I kind of wish UF players/coaches were more obsessed with it so they can get all bent out of shape and nutso leading into next year’s game.
We have to get them even with us in the “playing tight” dept. What Grantham did, actually, is the same kind of BS that Spurrier pulled that made us want to beat him so badly that it got in the team’s heads.
They got all bent out of shape over The Celebration and then came back the next year and kicked the crap out of us. Just sayin’.
4 turnovers and Willie Two Thumbs coaching the D may have had more to do with that loss (and the one last year) than being “in their heads.”
I don’t think they were in our heads in the early to mid 90’s they were just way better than us (with the exception of 92′). I mean Goff had us to a place where at one time we had only one player on defense (Randall Godfrey) that anybody would really want. We were pathetic, we couldn’t tackle a paper sack.
Let’s get a laser etching of the choke and put it on a plaque on the wall of the stadium.
I was coming here to post the same thing. I’m pretty tired of talking about this, but want to give Henry credit for having some class about this after the fact.
“…the more proud I am…”
Pride goeth before the fall, Brandon. I remember three years ago, everyone on this site was expressing the same righteous indignation over the endzone celebration and poking fun at Gatornation for reacting to it. Your dawgs are 0-and-3 against UF since then. You think Meyer isn’t already thinking about how to use this to his advantage? Think again.
Also, kudos to Chas Henry for saying what he said.
+1. I take back all the bad things I said about him.
I still can’t believe that this is as big of a deal as it is…HE MADE THE KICK!! Had he missed it, this non-story may have had some merit. I can honestly say if the roles were reversed it would not have “offended” me at all. It would have actually made it more comical.
RussDawg
Done with the AJC! Always stirring the pot. It’s college football for goodness sakes, not tea time!
Mergz
Amazing that a kid (Henry) can have the best perspective on this.
As a Gator, I still don’t see it. But Meyer will probably punish you Dawgs with timeouts next year.
Amazing that people are amazed by this.
Have you never played a sport?
Has no one ever said naughty things about “yo momma” while playing said sport?
Have you never seen an adult ejected from the stands at a little league girls soccer game?
Good grief, football is a violent sport. The whole purpose is to grind your opponent to mincemeat.
And we’re should be shocked by a taunt? BFD.
I think this series has gotten to the point that if there isn’t something to be flabbergasted about, someone makes something up.
Naw…It’s a bad deal, and Grantham’s a bad man. Corch will have him banned from the stadium next year. If Chas were his son, he’d fight CTG right now. He’ll also hand-out game balls to fans with sons who avoided felony charges and now play for the gators being the classy guy he is and all.
RedCrake
That’s a fight I’d pay to see. A lineman from VaTech with a desire to choke and a DB from Cincinnati with a heart condition and a brain cyst.
Check out #58 in white at about the 28 sec mark.
JamesBrett

He felt no regret,

I’m sure later he’ll claim he misspoke.
It wasn’t a suggestion.
It was a heartfelt wish.

We hoped Chas Henry would choke and miss the FG.
Is this a story?

until grantham refused to simply apologize, choosing to instead say, “I’ve kind of basically said what I’m going to say.”
Well stated. An apology was all that is truly needed to remedy this situation and show players that his behavior is not to be emulated. All this media BS and fist clenching would be over with a simple apology. Alas…
This country has completely lost its damn mind.

"As Talk Of Legend’s WA Nickel Find Gains Pace, Orion Looks To Be Sitting Pretty Right Next Door"
- funny thing, markets. With LEG announcing, its share price more than doubles, while ORN is flat but the other 2 mentioned in dispatches, BOA and GAL, both slipping 20+%
"Every long-term security is nothing more than a claim on some expected future stream of cash that will be delivered into the hands of investors over time. For a given stream of expected future cash payments, the higher the price investors pay today for that stream of cash, the lower the long-term return they will achieve on their investment over time." - Dr John Hussman
"If I had even the slightest grasp upon my own faculties, I would not make essays, I would make decisions." ― Michel de Montaigne
As Talk Of Legend’s WA Nickel Find Gains Pace, Orion Looks To Be Sitting Pretty Right Next Door
Excitement is building around the expected release on Monday of the eagerly awaited assay results from the third hole drilled at Legend Mining’s (LEG) Area D prospect at its Rockford project in WA’s Fraser Range. Legend Mining was 4.2c a share ahead of going into a trading halt last week and a trading suspension this week, pending the release of the assay results.
Industry chatter is that Legend has made a significant nickel-copper discovery, with lots of talk about a 16m intersection of massive to semi massive sulphides having been encountered, with 20m of disseminated sulphides on either side.
If the whispers about the intersection being particularly rich - the chatter is for more than 4% nickel - then there will be some fun to be had for the juniors with a presence in the northern reaches of the Fraser. It was of course the 2012 discovery hole drilled by junior explorer Sirius Resources down south which went on to become the Nova nickel-copper deposit/mine, with Sirius taken over by Independence (IGO) in 2015 for $1.8 billion.
Independence has long believed the Fraser has more than one Nova to give up and has almost blanket coverage of the region’s prospective rocks, including an exposure to Legend’s Area D discovery through its 14.2% Legend shareholding.
Private “prospector” Mark Creasy is the other big player in the Fraser, thanks to his early pegging in the district after being impressed by what he saw from some rock kicking during an expedition for space junk from Skylab’s crash to earth in 1979. Creasy has the Silver Knight discovery to his name in the Fraser but because it is privately held, no one is sure if it is going to be another Nova or not. And for good measure, Creasy owns 26.8% of Legend.
Like the rest of us, Legend, Independence and Creasy will have to wait for the assays confirming Area D as something special before celebrating.... In anticipation of the results from Area D confirming a discovery, juniors with Fraser Range exposure have already been enjoying something of a share price celebration.
Galileo Mining (GAL), where Creasy is a 31% shareholder, has shot up from 11c since Legend went into a trading halt on November 28 to 21c, while Boadicea (BOA) has come up from 22c to 26c.
Today’s interest though is in Orion Minerals (ORN) which was trading yesterday at 2.8c to be pretty much were it was before Legend alerted the market to its Area D discovery hole, assays pending.

Vale aims to boost nickel production by 70%
Cecilia Jamasmie | December 4, 2019 |
Brazilian mining giant Vale (NYSE:VALE) said on Wednesday it would hike nickel production by about 70% in coming years to 360,000 tonnes a year, mainly by expanding in Indonesia.
The Brazilian mining giant plans to exit its troubled New Caledonia assets but still aims to ramp up nickel output ahead of rising demand for electric batteries, executives said.
The plan for now is to shut the nickel refinery and stop cobalt production, which will result in a yet to be specified number of job losses, according to RNZ.
Vale said in November that it would write down its New Caledonia mine and incur a non-cash impairment charge of about $1.6 billion in the fourth quarter.
Nickel is the only base metal to have recorded gains this year, but prices for the key ingredient in stainless steel and electric vehicle batteries have begun to fall on concerns that an expanded trade war between the US and several countries including China, Brazil, Argentina and France, may dent demand.
Last week, the metal hit its lowest in more than four months and posted its steepest monthly loss (18%) in eight years on faltering steel output from top producer China and waning impact from an Indonesian ore export ban.

Indonesia hopes for environmental nod soon for battery-grade nickel plants
Reuters | November 18, 2019
Indonesia’s coordinating minister who oversees mining said on Monday he hoped environmental impact studies for factories to produce battery-grade nickel chemicals would be completed by the end of the year.
The studies, known as AMDAL, need to be completed and approved by the environment ministry before investors can proceed, such as China’s stainless steel giant Tsingshan Group which aims to build a high pressure acid leaching (HPAL) plant.
Asked whether the AMDAL would be issued before the end of 2019, the minister Luhut Pandjaitan said: “We hope so.”
He said investment plans for plants producing chemicals from nickel laterite were worth $3.2 billion, including the plant planned by Tsingshan and another planned by Indonesia’s Harita Group.
The government was revising a rule on managing waste from HPAL plants, Pandjaitan said, saying that the aim was to have this finalised within a month.
Indonesia wants to become a global hub for producing and exporting electric vehicles (EVs) to Asia and beyond, starting by processing its rich supplies of nickel ore into battery chemicals before it starts building EVs.
The country will stop exporting nickel ore from January 2020, two years earlier than originally planned, in order to handle processing at home.
Pandjaitan said the government would also issue a new rule to allow the import of used lithium battery components to be recycled into a new batteries in Indonesia.

NICKEL TO DRIFT
The nickel price has been the best performer so far this year with 59% gains, spiking after top producer Indonesia brought forward a ban on ore exports by two years to Jan. 1.
But prices have largely absorbed the bullish news and aside from possible short-term spikes due to speculative moves are unlikely to settle higher next year, analysts said.
“The impact of the ore ban won’t really be felt until the second half of next year, and the reason for that is the Indonesian government has given ore exporters four months’ notice of the ban,” said analyst Jim Lennon at Macquarie.
Indonesian exporters are due to ship out an additional 80,000-100,000 tonnes of contained nickel before the end of the year, keeping Chinese producers well supplied during the first half of 2020, Lennon added.
The LME cash price of nickel, mainly used to make stainless steel, is expected to average $16,500 a tonne next year, down 2% from the current price.
The market deficit is expected at 30,000 tonnes next year, a rise from 26,000 tonnes forecast for 2019, according the poll, but still minimal when compared to 144,000 tonnes in 2018, according to the International Nickel Study Group.

Previously it was reported (see prior post) the ban would come into effect on 1 January 2020 - now it's immediately
Indonesian nickel miners to stop ore exports immediately
Bernadette Christina, Wilda Asmarini
JAKARTA (Reuters) - Indonesia’s nickel miners agreed on Monday to stop nickel ore exports immediately, the country’s investment agency chief Bahlil Lahadalia said, after Jakarta last month brought forward a ban on shipments to January 2020 from 2022.
Expectations of the Indonesian ban have pushed nickel CMNI3 prices on the London Metal Exchange (LME) up nearly 40% to around $17,000 a tonne now. In September, they hit a five-year high of $18,850 a tonne.

Indonesian nickel ore ban: who will fill the supply gap?
in Freight News 25/10/2019
On 30 August 2019 the Indonesian government announced that a ban on nickel ore exports would come into effect on 1 January 2020 – two years ahead of its planned date.
The news caused an immediate price spike. And while this retreated as the market took a more measured view of the nickel outlook, there is little doubt that the ban will have significant implications for NPI supply in the coming years.
Let’s look at some of the immediate questions resulting from the expedited ban.
What does this mean for Chinese NPI production?
Chinese NPI production in 2019 will not be disrupted by the ore ban – we maintain our forecast at 570 kt Ni. But while current ore stockpiles provide a temporary cushion, we do expect to see cutbacks in Chinese NPI production from H2 2020.
And as Chinese NPI production declines, Indonesian NPI is ramping up. We expect Indonesian NPI output to achieve 36% year on year growth in 2019, reaching 360 kt Ni.

If I recall rightly, there have been a couple of broker revised targets - on the downside - for IGO recently. This might explain them coming off the boil. Don't follow MCR that closely si not sure what's happening there.
This recent article appearing in FT might also explain - Can this year’s nickel rally keep going? a couple of extracts below
Traders point to large withdrawals of nickel from warehouses run by the London Metal Exchange. Stocks on the LME have fallen almost 50 per cent since August. The exchange is supposed to be a last resort for consumers of the metal when supplies are short.
Another reason for a fall: there is a surplus of stainless steel in China, which is reflected by a weaker premium for prices of nickel in China compared with global benchmarks, according to Helen Lau, an analyst at Argonaut Securities in Hong Kong.

And yet both IGO and MCR my two nickel stocks have come off the boil; in recent times.
Obviously local players have not read the report by Tim Serjeant.

There’s more to nickel than just batteries
Tim Serjeant, Portfolio Manager/Analyst, Eley Griffiths Group
The supply side equation for Nickel as it stands today presents a bullish outlook.
Nickel Pig Iron (NPI) is ~950kt of the ~2.35Mt nickel market, so call it 40% of total supply. It has been a feature of the market since 2007 (all the incremental supply) where China has featured prominently, tapping cheaper ore sources, power and capital intensity advantages to drive down the cost of production for stainless steel. Forgive the history lesson, but the context is important.

Northern B.C. triple murder suspects died by apparent suicides: RCMP
Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod appeared to be dead for a number of days before their bodies were found in northern Manitoba
Two B.C. men who were suspects in the deaths of three people and led police on a manhunt across Western Canada shot themselves, the RCMP said Monday.
Police said it appears Bryer Schmegelsky and Kam McLeod were dead for a number of days before their bodies were found in the northern Manitoba wilderness on Wednesday, but the exact time of their deaths isn’t known. Their autopsies were done by Manitoba’s medical examiner.
Police said in a statement Monday that there were strong indications the young men had been alive for a few days during the extensive search near the town of Gillam. Mounties said on July 25 that there had been confirmed sightings of the men in the area and they believed they were still in the region.
Two firearms were located with the dead men, police said, and a forensic analysis was being done to connect the weapons with the homicides in northern B.C.

McLeod, 19, and Schmegelsky, 18, were charged with the murder of Leonard Dyck, a University of B.C. botany lecturer, and were also suspects in the deaths of American Chynna Deese and her Australian boyfriend Lucas Fowler.
“Investigators are now assessing all items located in Manitoba, along with the previous findings related to the three northern B.C. homicide investigations, in order to gain more clarity into what happened to Leonard Dyck, Lucas Fowler and Chynna Deese,” the police statement said.
Once its review is completed in the next few weeks, RCMP said they will provide the families with an update then release the information publicly.
The news release said B.C. investigators have engaged the RCMP’s behavioural analysis unit in order to gain more clarity into the suspects and what happened to the three people killed.

The mayor of Port Alberni, home to both fugitives, said in a statement Monday that she hoped the autopsy results and other information released by RCMP would answer some of the questions facing families struck by the tragedy.
“There may never be enough information to adequately answer all of their questions, but our council remains committed to supporting the RCMP as they complete their investigation into what led to this tragic series of events,” Mayor Sharie Minions said.
She shared her sympathies with those affected and reminded residents that there are numerous supports available to residents of the Alberni Valley.
“I encourage anyone struggling at this time to take advantage of the services,” she said.
The B.C. Prosecution Service said criminal charges don’t move forward once an accused is proven dead.
“We anticipate that the charge will be abated once the (prosecution service) receives official confirmation that the accused is deceased. That will conclude the prosecution,” spokesman Dan McLaughlin said in an email.

The autopsy results put a cap on the manhunt, which began July 23 when police announced Schmegelsky and McLeod were suspects in the three killings.
The young men had initially been considered missing persons when a truck and camper they were driving was found burned a few kilometres from where Dyck’s body was discovered at a highway pullout on July 15.
The bodies of Deese and Fowler were found on the Alaska Highway, 470 kilometres from where Dyck’s body was discovered, on July 19.
The manhunt for McLeod and Schmegelsky led to Gillam, where Dyck’s Toyota RAV4 was found burned. Officers converged on the area to begin what would be a two-week search.
Police used drones, dogs and even had help from the Canadian Armed Forces to scour the remote area.
The search was scaled back July 31 and a few days later a damaged rowboat was found in the Nelson River. A search of the river turned up little of interest, police said.
On Aug. 6, police said some items linked to Schmegelsky and McLeod were found on the river’s shore. The bodies were discovered the next day, about a kilometre from where police said they found the items.
Police have said it may be difficult to determine a motive for the killings because the suspects are dead.
Bryer Schmegelsky’s father, Alan Schmegelsky, said during the manhunt that his son had a troubled upbringing and that he expected the teen to go out in a “blaze of glory.”
A statement issued earlier by McLeod’s father, Keith McLeod, said his son was a “kind, considerate, caring young man.”

Biblical Studies Carnival נז (November 2010)
Posted on December 1, 2010 by Deane Galbraith
Each month, the Biblical Studies Carnival showcases the most thought-provoking biblioblogging (biblical studies blogging) from scholars, students and keen amateurs. This is Biblical Studies Carnival 57, that is, Carnival נז from NZ.
Academy, Biblioblogging and Handy Hints
Conference Time
November saw the annual meetings of the American Academy of Religion (Oct 30-Nov 1), The American Schools of Oriental Research (Nov 17-20), The Society of Biblical Literature (Nov 20-23), and the Evangelical Theological Society (Nov 17-19) – each held in Atlanta, Georgia. I have included blog posts on individual papers within the relevant sections below, but a few items are worth a mention from the get go. If the old adage that “ye shall know them by their conference stands” is indeed true, guess which conference boasted the “Old Earth Creation Society,” “The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womanhood” (with the promise that they “explain biblically God’s good design for manhood and womanhood”), “The Archaeology of Miracles,” the Answers in Genesis “Creation Museum,” the “Apologetics Study Bible“, and Matthew Flannagan? Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) has the photographic evidence from … ETS. Things at SBL weren’t quite in that league, but Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) observes that book stalls which in earlier years had been hidden in the shadows were now occupying center-stage. With his tongue firmly in cheek (metaphorically speaking), Roland refers to the prominence of “those wonderfully broadminded presses such as Intervarsity Press (IVP), Baylor, Baker, Zondervan and Hendrickson … who make Attila the Hun seem like a Marxist.” Similarly, Rebecca Lesses (Mystical Politics) points to “the increased presence of explicitly confessional panel sessions at the SBL, usually organized by outside groups … sessions organized by the Society for Pentecostal Studies, the Society of Christian Ethics, the Institute for Biblical Research (six total sessions), the Adventist Society for Religious Studies, the GOCN Forum on Missional Hermeneutics, the Evangelical Philosophical Society, and the Academy of Homiletics.” Rebecca also notes that the IVP-sponsored Tom Wright lecture for the Institute for Biblical Research “was preceded by scripture reading and prayer.” As Rebecca concludes, “it is time for the SBL to dissociate itself from such groups and reaffirm its commitment to scriptural study beyond confessional boundaries.” John Hobbins (Ancient Hebrew Poetry) makes a playful response to Rebecca.
The inaugural session of the SBL Blogger and Online Publication Section was a great and geeky success. Each presenter provides an online copy of his paper on his blog, and the canny Chris Brady offers podcasts of each of the presentations – by Jim Davila, Chris Brady, Michael Barber, James McGrath, and Robert Cargill. Robert Cargill (Excavator) delivers the chair’s introduction to the session. Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) provides a simply excellent overview of the emergence and benefits of biblioblogging: “What Just Happened?: The rise of ‘biblioblogging’ in the first decade of the Twenty-first Century,” including valuable hyperlinks. Chris Brady (Targuman) looks at blogs via the broader category of online biblical studies, and proposes a procedure for online publishing to be peer reviewed. The proposal sounds good to Chris Heard (Higgaion) and John Hobbins (Ancient Hebrew Poetry). Michael Barber (The Sacred Page) introduces me to the neologism “bloggership” – that is, scholarship published via blogs. James McGrath (Exploring Our Matrix) asks just what a blog is and how it may influence biblical scholarship. Robert Cargill’s own paper (Excavator) discusses the future of online educational technologies, in what was a very practical and very informed paper. One of Robert’s solutions is for a greater number of quality online academic journals. [Which brings me to mention an exciting new open-access journal on religious and biblical studies and reception history: Relegere: Studies in Religion and Reception. Relegere has issued a call for papers and welcomes book reviews from academics and PhD candidates. The first edition is due out 2011.] One of the many excited attendees at the Blogger Section, Jared Calaway (Antiquitopia) blogs his impressions of the whole blogger session, and J.R. Daniel Kirk (Storied Theology) also makes a few comments. In addition, Mark Hoffman (Biblical Studies and Technological Tools) provides a rundown of the E-Publish or Perish seminar.
The “most lively session” at SBL was the panel review of James Crossley’s Jesus in an Age of Terror (Equinox, 2008), critiqued by Mark Goodacre, Zeba Crook, Bill Arnal, and Roland Boer, and followed by a reply from Crossley himself. Loren Rosson (The Busybody) summarizes proceedings.
Ken Brown (C. Orthodoxy) comments on the first SBL Presidential Address by new president, Vincent Wimbush, and in particular on his blackness. Ken’s point of departure was an exceptional SBL paper by rising biblical studies star Kirsten Dawson, on systemic violence in the book of Job and the book’s ideological blindness to the problem of slavery.
Also well worth noting are general overviews and reminiscences by Michael Barber (The Sacred Page), Edward Cook (Ralph the Sacred River), Darrell Pursifel (Dr. Platypus), Mark Goodacre (NT Blog: here, here, here, and here), Michael Bird (Ευαγγελιον), Jim Linville (Dr Jim’s Thinking Shop and Tea Room), Scott Bailey (Scotteriology), Nijay Gupta, Jeremy Thompson (Free Old Testament Audio: here, here, here, and here), Chris Brady (Targuman: here and here), Charles Halton (Awilum), Jeremiah Bailey (Walking Towards Jerusalem), Joel Watts (Unsettled Christianity), Aren Maeir (The Tell es-Safi/Gath Excavations Official (and Unofficial) Weblog: here, here and here), Daniel Doleys (Text, Community & Mission), J.R. Daniel Kirk (Storied Theology: here and here), JPS (Idle Musings of a Bookseller: here, here and here) Steve Douglas (Undeception), Matthew Flannagan (MandM), Joseph Kelly (כל האדם: here and here), Gary Manning (Eutychus Nerd: here, here and here), Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache), JohnDave Medina (Near Emmaus), Claude Mariottini, Bill Heroman (NT/History Blog), John Byron (The Biblical World), Matthew Dowling (Desposyni), Erwin Ochsenmeier (FourSenses.net), Stephen Cook (Biblische Ausbildung), and Peter Head (Evangelical Textual Criticism). Complaints about lack of wi-fi are included in the commentaries offered by Peter Head (Evangelical Textual Criticism) and James McGrath (Exploring Our Matrix). Some of the more vulgar bibliobloggers compare the sizes of their book purchases, e.g. esp. Chris Tilling (Chrisendom).
The SBL annual meeting was preceded by a scandal that was larger than Roland Boer’s sausage: SBL decided to charge presenters a fee if they elected to use Powerpoint projectors with their presentations. The story was broken by an indignant Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus), but the ripples of outrage spread outwards from the depravity-fighting epicenter of biblioblogging, with vituperative posts soon following from Robert Cargill (Excavator), Scott Bailey (Scotteriology), James McGrath (Exploring Out Matrix), Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache), and Jeremy Thompson (Free Old Testament Audio).
On its events page, the University of Bristol announces a interdisciplinary colloquium to be held on Friday 17 December with the intriguing title, Deception and the Bible. The colloquium will “consider the relationship between falsehood, Bible, scholarship, and culture.” Enquiries about attendance can be made via the site.
Academic Biblical Studies versus Faith
Roland Boer (in a Bible and Interpretation op-ed) issues a further offensive in the ongoing Two Hundred Years War between academic and theological biblical scholars, together with a couple of related posts on his blog, Stalin’s Moustache – here and here. [Just to recap a little: Roland’s piece follows a long line of responses to Hector Avalos’ initial provocation, The End of Biblical Studies (2007), which was first responded to by folk such as Philip Davies (here and here), Alan Lenzi, and James Crossley, was then followed by a rejoinder by Avalos, a further response by Jim West, before the whole debate was rekindled by a volume of essays from Equinox, Secularism and Biblical Studies (2010) edited by Roland himself (and including a contribution from Avalos), which provoked Niels Peter Lemche‘s reply, provoking responses to Lemche from Avalos, Deane Galbraith, and Tim Bulkeley – bearing in mind that all of these exchanges were preceded by Jacques Berlinerblau’s 2005 book, The Secular Bible, and opinions on the SBL forum from Berlinerblau (“The Unspeakable in Biblical Scholarship“) and Michael V. Fox (“Scholarship and Faith in Bible Study“), now included in Secularism and Biblical Studies, which also provoked an extensive and fiery discussion – and which all goes back, at least in this most recent incarnation of the debate, to Philip Davies’ suggestion in his 1995 book, Whose Bible Is It Anyway? that academic biblical studies be firmly distinguished from theologically grounded scriptural studies.] But back to Roland Boer, who comes out shooting against both “sides” to the debate, but especially against Lemche’s latest contribution. Boer’s best point is that the old-fashioned historical critical approach which attempts to do purportedly objective analysis before considering so-called secondary matters – such as postcolonialism, gender, feminism, etc, not to mention the whole material circumstances of the production of historical criticism – is blind to the interests which it is nonetheless serving. And Roland suggests that, in Lemche’s own Denmark, the Church remains one of the largest of those interests.
On the same topic, Peter Enns (a time to tear down | A Time to Build Up) posts the audio recording of the 14th annual Silvers Visiting Scholar Program, University of Pennsylvania (Oct 25, 2010), entitled, “The Challenge of Reading the Bible Today: Can the Bible be read both Critically and Religiously? Jewish, Catholic and Protestant Perspectives.” The answer they came up with is fairly obvious from the last five words of that title. But if you want to have a listen to Marc Brettler (Jewish), Peter Enns (Protestant), Daniel J. Harrington (Catholic), and Rabbi Jeffrey Tigay (neutral moderator), here’s the iTunes link or the mp3s (Part 1, Part 2).
Michael Helfield (Josephan Studies) alerts us to a new article by William Arnal on how biblical studies can make a valuable contribution to the humanities and in particular to religious studies, and provides an upside-down copy of the abstract.
Hector Avalos describes six ways in which confessional scholars resort to empty rhetoric and vacuous bluster in order to dismiss academic approaches to biblical studies (on Bible and Interpretation). Duane Smith (Abnormal Interests) is essentially in agreement, but points out ways in which Avalos’ points could be made stronger, and also points out a blog response by Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) that inadvertently proves Avalos’ case.
Handy Hints and Resources
Mark Goodacre (NT Blog) offers valuable words of advice to young biblical scholars who are beginning to undertake doctoral research, from his SBL paper.
Tyndale Tech supplies a whole series of useful posts on the following topics: Writing a Book or Thesis, Research You Can Re-search, Surviving the Death of Your Hard Drive, Writing Greek and Hebrew on a Computer, Translating Online, Finding and Reading Online Books and Periodicals.
The near-omniscient Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) draws attention to a valuable wiki-format online encyclopedia of Second Temple Judaism and Christian Origins written by various luminaries associated with Gabriele Boccaccini’s ongoing Enoch Seminar. The online encyclopedia is called 4 Enoch, and so far includes articles from Gabriele Boccaccini, Loren T. Stuckenbruck, Kenneth Atkinson, Alexander Kulik, Gerbern S. Oegema, Andrei A. Orlov, Samuel Rocca, and Carlos A. Segovia. In addition, Tommy Wasserman (Evangelical Textual Criticism) makes note of another free online encyclopedia – also authored by established scholars – which includes a number of entries on biblical studies: Oxford Bibliographies Online. Both resources are well worth adding to your list and include entries on both Jewish and Christian origins. Mark Hoffman (Biblical Studies and Technological Tools) provides screen-shots of the SBL’s proposed website for educating the great unwashed masses about biblical studies. It’s called Bible Odyssey.
Biblioblogging Anomaly
Biblioblogging anomaly Jim West is interviewed by Robert Jimenez (Near Emmaus), who provides both audio and transcript versions.
Christian Origins
The Gospels and Jesus
Rebecca Lesses (Mystical Politics) advertises the 2010 Annual Holocaust Lecture at Ithaca College (Nov 9) by Susannah Heschel, a lecture which examines the conception of the Aryan Jesus held by pro-Nazi biblical scholars. Heschel concludes that Nazi biblical scholarship is “not simply … a response to political developments, nor simply … an outgrowth of struggles within the field of Christian theology” but instead, that the work of Nazi biblical scholars indicates “underlying affinities between racism and Christian theology, affinities they recognized and promoted.” Rebecca promises a podcast of the talk is to come on her blog, once she masters the technology.
The practically all-knowing Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) alerts us to a forthcoming collection examining the evidence for the existence of the historical (or is that entirely mythic?) Jesus: Is this not the Carpenter?’ The Question of the Historicity of the Figure of Jesus (Equinox, December 2011), edited by recently retired Copenhagen biblical scholar Thomas L. Thompson and his biblioblogging acolyte, Thomas S. Verenna (The Musings of Thomas Verenna). It provokes intrigue from James F. McGrath (Exploring Our Matrix) and an amusing description of each of the contributors from Gavin Rumney (Otagosh).
Antonio Lombatti (Pseudoscienze cristiane antiche e medievali) reports a new interview with Gerd Lüdeman in which Lüdeman estimates that some 95% of the words of Jesus are counterfeit. Lüdeman concludes that most of what makes up the image of Jesus in the church today is a fantasy. This manipulation of Jesus’ words to fit political goals (including polemic against Jews) is no late phenomenon, but goes back to the Gospels from the first century. The interview notes the publication of Lüdeman’s new book, Die gröbste Fälschung des Neuen Testaments: Der zweite Thessalonicherbrief (zuKlampen!, Sep 2010), which leads us to a short video by Eman Laerton on the 2 Thessalonians forgery, which was shared by James McGrath (Exploring Our Matrix).
Sheffield Biblical Studies commences a select chapter-by-chapter review of what is probably the major historical Jesus work of the decade, Maurice Casey’s magnum opus, Jesus of Nazareth (T&T Clark, Oct 2010 UK; Dec 2010 U.S.). Michael Kok reviews Chapter One, “The Quest for the Historical Jesus,” where Casey critiques the historical (or as is more typical, theological) contributions of earlier Jesus scholars. Christopher Markou reviews Chapter Two, “Historically reliable sources,” where Casey defends the key importance of Mark and the Q materials as historical materials for understanding Jesus, and the relative uselessness of John. But Neil Godfrey (who I have never met, and may not really exist) thinks Jesus is a myth, and so he adopts a level of skepticism towards the evidence that would make even Sextus Empiricus appear gullible (Vridar: here, here, here, here, here, and here).
And just when we thought nobody in biblical scholarship cared about Jesus anymore, there is suddenly a glut of historical Jesuses. Loren Rosson (The Busybody) provides a detailed review of Dale Allison’s Constructing Jesus: Memory, History, and Imagination (Baker, Nov 2010 U.S.; Dec 2010 UK) and notes its defense of a charismatic, apocalyptic and not particularly rational historical Jesus. Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) announces the publication of a new volume from Geza Vermes: Jesus in the Jewish World (SPCK and Baker, Oct 2010). Ludwik (Paulus 2.0) informs us that even Jesus’ ἀδελφοί get a book-length treatment. Roberto Reggi’s I «fratelli di Gesù»: Considerazioni filologiche, ermeneutiche, storiche, statistiche sulla verginità perpetua di Maria concludes that the ἀδελφοί were really Jesus’ paternal cousins, not his brothers. Reggi is an Italian Catholic high school teacher, and this book is based on a thesis written for La Pontificia Commissione Biblica, which is based at the Palace of the Inquisition, Rome – not a place, I guess, you want to be concluding that the historical Mary’s hymen wasn’t perpetually intact. The historical Jesus glut compels Loren Rosson to compile a revised top ten historical Jesus scholars or works.
Sonja (Women in Theology) reports another publication involving the current Roman Catholic Pope, Joseph Ratzinger, in which he tries his hand at historical Jesus scholarship. In the book-length interview in Light of the World: The Pope, the Church, and the Signs of the Times (Ignatius, Nov 2010), interviewer Peter Seewald makes the following highly misleading description of the state of biblical scholarship: “To make things clear for the record: There is no longer any doubt, is there, that the historical Jesus and the so-called ‘Jesus of faith’ are absolutely identical personages?” (172-173). Sonja amusingly retorts, “Someone buy that man a subscription to Catholic Biblical Quarterly.”
Adam Kotsko (An und für sich) provides a copy of his AAR paper, “Žižek and the Excremental Body of Christ,” which examines Žižek’s theology of the cross. Adam discusses Žižek’s understanding of the Christian God as a God who “freely identified himself with his own shit” (Parallax View, 187) and the ethical implications of such an understanding, which, as Adam wryly notes, “I am sure will not be included in any Christian ethics courses any time soon.”
Mark D. Roberts (Beliefnet) gives his interpretation of various Christological titles: the Wisdom titles (Parts 1, 2, and 3), “The Son of God,” “The Son of Man” (Parts 1 and 2), and “Son of God” (Parts 1 and 2). In response, Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) points out some Wisdom material Mark might also have covered, and notes his agreements and disagreements concerning the two Christological titles.
Larry Hurtado provides an extended review of James McGrath’s book, The Only True God: Early Christian Monotheism in its Jewish Context (2009), which he makes available on his blog, here. Larry thinks that the devotion or worship of Jesus is quite an innovative historical development. In return, James responds to Larry’s review. James doesn’t think that the devotion or worship of Jesus is altogether different from contemporary Jewish religious practice. Then Larry responds to James’ response to Larry’s review. Then James responds to Larry’s response to James’ response to Larry’s review. Then Larry responds to James’ response to Larry’s response to James’ response to Larry’s review, claiming that none of the evidence James produced was anything like what was happening in early Christianity, which he describes as a “mutant” – or perhaps a “mutation.” Then James responds to Larry’s response to James response to Larry’s response to James’ response to Larry’s review, claiming that the only significant difference from other Judaisms was the worship of a crucified man, not the Christian messianic claims themselves. Then Larry … then James …
Loren Rosson (The Busybody) discusses two SBL papers which utilize social-scientific and cognitive-scientific approaches to explain the idea of Jesus’ resurrection, by Pieter Craffert (neuro-anthropology) and Colleen Shantz (evolutionary psychology).
Phillip Long (Reading Acts) provides an overview of James Charlesworth’s Near Eastern Archaeological Society / ETS paper on the Pools of Bethseda and Siloam mentioned in the Gospel of John.
Timo S. Paananen (Salainen evankelista) argues that Craig S. Keener presents a one-sided and imbalanced presentation of the question of the authenticity of the Secret Gospel of Mark in Keener’s The Historical Jesus of the Gospels: Jesus in Historical Context (Eerdmans, 2009).
Phil Harland (Religions of the Ancient Mediterranean) provides two podcasts exploring the techniques Jesus employed as a teacher, and introduces the central concept of Jesus’ teaching: the “Kingdom of God” (mp3s here and here).
Mark Goodacre (NT Blog) provides online access to some of his recent articles, all on Mark (the evangelist, that is). A complete list of his articles, most of them online, is also available here.
Tony Burke (Apocryphicity) reviews Andreas J. Köstenberger’s and Michael J. Kruger’s The Heresy of Orthodoxy: How Contemporary Culture’s Fascination with Diversity has Reshaped our Understanding of Early Christianity (Crossway, 2010) in four parts (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4). Tony rightly draws attention to the highly conservative and apologetic nature of this book, which adopts a sometimes conspiratorial “language of alarm” concerning scholarship into the non-canonical Christian literature. Although in one part of the book the authors claim to base their position on “logical” argument, this claim is undermined entirely in other parts of the book where the authors claim that their scholarly opponents are driven by demonic “forces”! Clearly Köstenberger and Kruger fail to meet some of the minimum standards of what constitutes academic scholarship.
However, as Loren Rosson (The Busybody) points out, two secular New Testament scholars, Donald Akenson and Maurice Casey, and one Catholic scholar-priest, John P. Meier agree that Jesus traditions outside the canon are for all practical purposes useless for reconstructing the historical Jesus.
Phillip Long (Reading Acts) provides brief summaries of papers on Luke-Acts at ETS on the topics of historiography, border studies, postcolonial and feminist approaches (well, dismissive of such approaches), and the prologue to Acts.
Tim Bulkeley (Sansblogue) warns us not to import modern prejudices about prostitutes or demons and healing when trying to interpret the Gospels.
Paul and Pseudo-Paul
The Paul and Scripture Seminar blog shares three papers from their session at the 2010 SBL Annual Meeting, all on what they call “intertextuality.” Ben Witherington discusses the early Christian belief that scripture was inspired, Matthew W. Bates stresses the need for synchronic context (“con-texts” and “post-texts”) in explaining how Paul interprets texts from Isaiah, and Leonard Greenspoon is leery of either-or approaches when it comes to Paul’s memorization and recalling of passages from the Hebrew Bible.
New Testament scholar and children’s book writer, Michael Bird (Ευαγγελιον) announces a new journal dedicated to Paul’s writings: Journal for the Study of Paul and His Letters (Eisenbrauns, forthcoming 2011-) – of which the versatile Michael Bird himself is the editor. A sample issue includes an introduction by Michael and an article by Susan Grove Eastman on Philippians 2.6-11.
Mark Goodacre (NT Pod) asks, “What did Paul know about Jesus?” Did he know anything about the Jesus who lived in Nazareth? Or was Jesus just a heavenly figure for Paul? And, most importantly, in respect of “1 Corinthians,” should we say “One Corinthians” or “First Corinthians”? Mark answers all these questions and more in his examination of some of the earthly Jesus tradition which Paul includes in his letters, in this podcast (13:53).
Matthew D. Montonini (New Testament Perspectives) interviews James Ware, author of Synopsis of the Pauline Letters in Greek and English (Baker, 2010), a work Matthew believes “will revolutionize Pauline studies in future research.” The synopsis lays out parallel passages in the Pauline and Pseudo-Pauline corpus (13 letters plus Paul in Acts), as shown in this excerpt. (Note: oddly, the excerpt doesn’t have the Greek on the left and English on the right – but this appears to be a problem with the pdf layout not the book.) Synopses are certainly useful, but even more useful I’ve found is the knowledge gained by doing them yourself. All you need is a spreadsheet.
Ardel Caneday (ἐξήγησις) provides a copy of his ETS paper on the meaning of the much-disputed phrase, πίστις Χριστοῦ. Ardel thinks there are reasons to interpret the phrase as though it were a subjective genitive (ie. “faithfulness of Christ”) where it occurs in Galatians.
The main event at ETS was an exchange on Paul’s idea(s) of justification – and in particular Tom Wright’s idea(s) of Paul’s idea(s) of justification. It featured three plenary session papers, from Tom Schreiner, Frank Thielman and Tom Wright, together with their respective responses. Detailed overviews are provided by Andrew Cowan and Collin Hansen (The Gospel Coalition), with an audio summary by Al Mohler, and by Craig Blomberg (Koinonia). The papers and responses are to be published in the Journal for the Evangelical Theological Society, but Patrick Schreiner (Ad Fontes) has already made available his father Tom’s responses to Wright and Thielman. Tom Schreiner’s paper was blogged by Justin Taylor (The Gospel Coalition), Marc Cortez (Scientia et Sapientia), Stephen Nichols (Reformation21), and Phillip Long (Reading Acts). Frank Thielman’s paper, which concentrated on the interpretation of the “righteousness of God” in Romans 1.17, was blogged by Marc Cortez and Phillip Long. Tom Wright’s ETS paper on justification was blogged by Mike Wittmer (Don’t Stop Believing), Marc Cortez (Scientia et Sapientia: here, here and here), Michael Heiser (The Naked Bible), Michael Bird (Ευαγγελιον), Jason Stellman (Creed, Code, Cult), Dane Ortland (Strawberry-Rhubarb Theology), Daniel Doleys (Text Community & Mission), Philip Long (Reading Acts), A.G. Haykin (The Andrew Fuller Center), Gary Manning (Eutychus Nerd), Blake White (Barabbas), Mike Aleckson (MikeAleckson.com), and Ardel Caneday (Biblia Theologica). Denny Burk points out that Wright had previously described justification as “on the basis of” works, despite his denial at ETS that he had done so (see here and here). But Tom retorts in Denny’s comments section that in such cases he was merely summarizing Paul’s own occasional words, rather than providing a systematic theology on justification. In a post entitled “Meeting a Hero,” Tyler Stewart (A Humble Attempt at Being Human) blogs his encounter with Tom Wright:
“As I was standing in line for registration N.T. Wright himself walked up and stood right next to me…. Margaret [my wife] even touched the hem of his garment. It was awesome…. I walked over to him, he’s actually a rather big guy (easily 6 foot 3) and stuck out my hand. He kindly shook while I told him how wonderful he is, and that if he only asked I would be his personal slave until Jesus comes back. He humbly turned down my offer for voluntary slavery and simply said, ‘Thank you.'”
J.R. Daniel Kirk (Storied Theology) provides a rundown of the annual lecture at the Institute for Biblical Literature by Tom Wright and the response provided by Michael Bird, and Daniel and Tonya (Hebrew and Greek Reader) offer some further comments. Michael Bird (Ευαγγελιον) provides a copy of his response to Wright on his blog. What’s more, the busy Bird delivered a paper at ETS which is also devoted to Tom Wright (available here). In it, Michael attempts to find a middle way between John Piper and Tom Wright – much like, I presume, Odysseus once attempted to find between Scylla and Charibdis.
In a couple of posts, Richard Fellows (Paul and Co-workers) argues that the sending of Timothy to the Corinthians (1 Cor 4:17-21) is connected to Paul’s subsequent discussion of licentiousness and that Titus’s mission to Corinth had the same purpose as Timothy’s: to oppose the licentiousness there. Richard further concludes that Timothy was none other than Titus renamed.
Loren Rosson (The Busybody) comments on two SBL papers which discuss Paul and Judaism, one by Mark Nanos and the second by Paula Fredricksen.
J. Brian Tucker (Identity Formation in the New Testament) posts his SBL paper, “The Continuation of Gentile Identity in Christ,” available here.
Ken Schenck (Quadrilateral Thoughts) alerts us to the fact that the SBL papers on Pseudo-Paul’s letter to the Hebrews are available on the Hebrew Group page at the University of Basel.
Brian LePort (Near Emmaus) notifies us about a video of N.T. Wright’s lecture, “Revelation and Christian Hope: Political Implications of the Revelation of John” (Oct 8, Duke Divinity School). In his past writings, Wright conveniently reinterpreted the catastrophic apocalypticism in the Synoptic Gospels as though it merely involved some sort of this-worldly transformation (so as to avoid admitting that Jesus was simply mistaken in believing that the world was just about to end 2000 years ago). In a similar vein in this video, Wright follows the current trend of pretending the New Testament is a “subversive” collection of this-worldly political radicalism (despite the Revelation of John’s escape into other-worldly fantasy, in which it is pretended that a critical change has already occurred on earth as a result of believing in Jesus’ imaginary heavenly enthronement, and the concomitant introspection of the community and conservative call to effective political inaction on earth).
Students in James McGrath’s course on Revelation and its reception blog their thoughts at The Book of Revelation.
Other Christian Origins Blogging
Tim Henderson (Earliest Christianity) announces that Bart Ehrman’s new book, Forged: Writing in the Name of God – Why the Bible’s Authors Are Not Who We Think They Are is due out in March 2011 (HarperOne). Tim expects nothing new about the topic of pseudepigraphy in the Bible, but a popular, if not sensationalist, treatment. Well, maybe. But if you can turn the arcane world of textual criticism into accessible pop culture entertainment, without detriment to broad accuracy, then you certainly deserve some sort of credit.
Larry Hurtado provides an ad hoc list of what he views as the most significant developments in the study of the New Testament and Christian origins over the last century or so: the “de-throning” of the textus receptus, the discovery of various papyri, new methods in text-critical analysis, greater sophistication in handling Jesus tradition, recognition of the Jewishness of Paul, a greater sense of diversity in early Christianity, a better sense of Jewish context gained in particular from the DSS and criticism of the earlier Hellenistic-Palestinian division, greater understanding of church demographics, and (with confessed self-interest) recognition of the earliness of Christ devotion. Tsalampouni Ekaterini (Ιστολόγιο βιβλικών σπουδών / Biblical Studies Blog) adds a few more: social-science and literary critical methods, ideological criticisms (e.g. postcolonial studies), the use of non-canonical texts, the role of oral tradition, and reception history studies.
J. R. Daniel Kirk (Storied Theology) asks how ancient listeners or readers engaged with New Testament texts. The answer is, in short, actively.
Emerging Judaism
Christopher Heard (Higgaion) concludes his series on whether Genesis 21.9 describes Ishmael sexually molesting Isaac, or just portrays a bit of playful jostling.
Marc Cortez (Scientia et Sapientia) summarizes Megan DeFranza’s ETS paper on “the recent trend toward understanding the human person and the imago Dei primarily through the lens of human sexuality.” The paper discusses the resulting sexualization of God. But the most important lesson I take from the summary of this paper is that biblical interpreters should be very wary of using overtly theological interpretations of the Bible by theologians, as these are usually more misleading than enlightening. In particular, the woeful interpretation of Genesis 1.27 by Karl Barth should be given a wide berth in academic biblical studies.
Aric Clark (Two Friars and a Fool) explores some widely cited biblical “proof-texts on homosexuality” that might not really prove what the religious right claim they do. He has a post on the biblical description of same-sex intercourse as an “abomination,” and another post on the identification of the sin of Sodom.
Lester Grabbe turned 65 on Nov 5 (which dates him, contrary to popular rumor, well after the Persian period). To celebrate the occasion, Philip Davies (pictured left) and Diana Edelman (not pictured) presented him with a Festschrift the following day, called The Historian and the Bible (T&T Clark, 2010). The collection has contributions from most of the big names in biblical fairytaleology (i.e. what used to be referred to as “biblical historiography”): Barstad, Lemche, Na’aman, Albertz, Thompson, Lemaire, Liverani, Ben Zvi, Edelman, Williamson, Lipschits, Becking, Blenkinsopp, Knoppers, Knauf, Davies, and Brooke. The ubiquitous Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) has the exclusive report, including photos on a couch which appears to be made from the hide of a red cow.
Jim Linville (Dr. Jim’s Thinking Shop & Tea Room) posts an extended version of his SBL paper on myth in the Old Testament, which surveys the ways in which Old Testament Introductions treat the issue. Reminiscent of Nic Wyatt’s various writings on the issue (whom he cites), Jim asks why the Old Testament is frequently seen as an exception amongst other ancient literature, as though it is somehow fundamentally different in nature. Jim argues that such an approach represents “an outdated, and rather outrageous western-centric evolutionary model of societal development.”
Thom Stark (Religion at the Margins) provides a very detailed review of one of many recent apologetic attempts to defend Joshua’s account of the Canaanite genocides: The Joshua Delusion (Cascade, 2010), by Douglas S. Earl. Stark exposes the fundamental weaknesses of Earl’s approach, including its unfeasible appeal to “hyperbole” and its complete failure to consider questions of historical composition which are detrimental to Earl’s interpretation. On such grounds, Stark deems Earl’s thesis to be a failure. Gavin Rumney (Otagosh) criticizes similar apologetic tendentiousness from Reformed apologist Alvin Plantinga.
Carisa (Queen of Heaven) discusses Asherah, the one-time wife of Yahweh in the ancient Levant, before Yahweh took over and cleared out the other elohim from the divine council (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3).
Jim Linville (Dr Jim’s Thinking Room and Tea Shop) notes a new volume on various conceptions of exile found in the Hebrew Bible (Daniel Patte (ed.), The Cambridge Dictionary of Christianity, CUP, 2010). The volume happens to include Jim’s own essay on the myth of the exilic return. Jim’s blog post also features an Ehud Ben Zvi lolcat.
Scott Bailey (Scotteriology) explains why it’s important to consider the context of an ancient biblical passage before simply using it to justify a contemporary religious practice. Scott gives the example of King David’s dancing around the ark as a “rationale” sometimes offered for modern Pentecostal dancing.
Andrew Lee (SANACS | Society of Asian North American Christian Studies) reports on papers at the meeting of The Institute for the Study of Asian American Christianity, held in conjunction with SBL.
John Hobbins (Ancient Hebrew Poetry) puts Yahweh’s “credo” in Israel back into the little credo of Jeremiah 2.1-3, contrary to almost all English translations of the verses which he has found. He’s right. And I add that by “reading the seams,” to adopt Adriane Leveen’s phrase, we might be less inclined to interpret ancient Hebrew literature as though it were perfectly assimilated to the context of the whole, as in a New Critical sense (a theoretical approach based on the interpretation of modern works), but rather that it has been assimilated according to quite different sensibilities. Recognizing that principle might let us see that the appearance of a suddenly unqualifiedly positive credo (Jeremiah 2.1-3) between two quite negative passages is etically not emically jarring. And reading through John’s fine post, I also noticed a possible connotative play between לולתיך (“your bridal virgin”) and לא זרועה (“not seeded”) – uncovered by his structuring of the verses.
Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) gives a report of his SBL Sausage Fest paper, including his innovative interpretation of Ezekiel 2-3 as auto-fellatio, and a subsequent oral exchange with Lester Grabbe.
Daniel McClellan discusses David Frankel’s argument that “El [is] the Speaking Voice in Psalm 82:6–8” (Journal of Hebrew Scriptures), ie., El as a distinct god from Yahweh. Michael Heiser (The Naked Bible) reports that he discusses the question of “the Elohim” in Psalm 82 at ETS, in two separate papers, and provides links to both papers. Discussion ensued in a detailed post by Daniel McClellan and a post by Nick Norelli (Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth).
Daniel McClellan also reviews a new volume edited by Francesca Stavrakopoulou and John Barton, Religious Diversity in Ancient Israel and Judah (T&T Clark, 2010).
Jewish Pseudepigrapha and Mysticism
Charles Ellwood Jones (AWOL – The Ancient World Online) discusses the Online Critical Pseudepigrapha project, which is in the process of publishing “on-line, free-access critical texts of the Pseudepigrapha which are up-to-date and academically rigorous.” Some 29 Pseudepigrapha are available on the site at present.
Rebecca Lesses (Mystical Politics) reviews some of the sessions she attended, providing comments on the Early Jewish and Christian Mysticism section and the presentation of a Festschrift to her Doktormutter, Rachel Elior. David Larsen (Heavenly Ascents) provides further comments on the same section. Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) uploads his SBL review of Peter Schäfer’s The Origins of Jewish Mysticism (Mohr-Siebeck, 2009), which includes a critique of a view I have always found very odd (despite its prevalence): the view that there is no mystical experience behind these texts. Jim also provides relevant links to some of his own considerable works on Hekhalot literature and other Jewish mysticism. His paper is available as a pdf here.
Ancient Near Eastern and Hellenistic Background
Seth Sanders (Serving the Word) considers the material dimensions of inscriptions in the ancient Near East, and makes seven modest proposals.
Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) comments on the new SBL section on the Bible and economics. He also provides an outline of one of his proposed books, to be called The Sacred Economy, which will provide a hypothetical model of the economy of ancient Judea, and which appears to involve economic analysis on a scale not seen since the composition of Das Kapital. The hypothetical economic base will in turn explain elements of the superstructure of biblical ideology – such as, for example, the Bible’s concern for fertility and its fetishistic obsession with the prostitute metaphor. If I understand his proposal, the fact that this single economic base is constituently in tension between its tributory and domestic aspects in turn furnishes homologies in biblical literature, for example in the hopelessly contradictory thought of Paul, and also in Paul’s attempts to mollify the less conservative teachings of Jesus, etc.
In a curious post, Duane Smith compiles a list of Akkadian omens from Shumma Alu in which a snake appears between a husband and a wife, refusing to draw any parallels to the story of Adam, Eve, and that serpentine agent of childbirth.
Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) alerts readers to the fact that ATIQOT, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) archaeology journal, is now available free of charge online at Atiqot.
John Meade (LXX Studies) makes witty one-liners about studying the Hexapla. Really.
Daniel McClellan posts his Masters thesis, “Anti-Anthropomorphism and the Vorlage of LXX Exodus” and asks for comments before he possibly revises and publishes it.
Talmud and Rabbinics
Yehuda Mirsky (Jewish Ideas Daily) notes a new volume titled The Talmud in its Iranian Context (Mohr, 2010), and discusses the changes that result in interpreting Bavli (the Babylonian Talmud) when we are aware of the Persian political-social context in which it was developed and composed – or, as Yehuda puts it, scholars need “to put the ‘Babylonia’ back into the Babylonian Talmud.” Closer Iranian-Jewish relations are required.
Meanwhile, Eli (The Yerushalmi Blog) provides a convenient table of contents to the high resolution images of Yerushalmi (the Palestinian Talmud) held at the University of Leiden Library. The Leiden manuscript (Leiden Or. 4720) was written in 1289 by Rabeinu Yechiel Ben Yekutiel HaRofeh from Rome, and is “the only extant complete manuscript of Talmud Yerushalmi.” It’s available here.
Menachem Mendel advises that the Jewish Theological Seminary Library has made available its entire manuscript collection online. The manuscript collection is available at HebrewManuscripts.org.
Other Emerging Judaism Blogging
Tommy Wasserman (Evangelical Textual Criticism) also notes that Emanuel Tov has made a large number of his publications freely available online. The Tov publications are found here.
Dorothy King (PhDiva) provides a review of Shlomo Sand’s The Invention of the Jewish People (Verso, 2010) and found it “thought-provoking” but “deeply flawed.”
Language, Text and Translation
The NIV
On Nov 1, the 2011 update to the New International Version (NIV) was (pre-)released online, together with translators’ notes written primarily by the biblioblogging Craig Blomberg of Denver Seminary. The publication of yet another evangelical English translation of the Protestant Bible generated extensive interest from bibliobloggers, which is worth examining in some detail. Robert Slowley (RobHu Studies the Bible) very conveniently provides a comprehensive comparison of the old NIV 1984, the TNIV and NIV 2011.
After the TNIV (and earlier the NIVi) had introduced a gender-neutral translation of the Bible, the reactionary outcry by conservative Christians provoked a rewrite of some of the TNIV’s inclusively rendered passages. Peter Kirk (Gentle Wisdom) reaches a similar conclusion analyzing some of the language changes from the chart provided by Peter Slowley, as do Jonathan D. Fitzgerald (Patrol) and Cathy Lynn Grossman (Faith & Reason), who note that a too-inclusive NIV is bad for sales. The resulting changes to the NIV 2011 typically involve being less inclusive whenever gender inclusivity would risk tainting Jesus with feminine bits. Suzanne McCarthy (Suzanne’s Bookshelf) notes that the TNIV’s rendering of Hebrews 2.17 (“[Jesus] had to be made like his brothers and sisters in every way”) has been changed to “[Jesus] had to be made like them, fully human.” The idea of Jesus being incarnated like a woman was, it seems, a bit too much for the significant contingent of conservative readers of the NIV. Craig Blomberg of Denver Seminary defends the changes as being based on actual everyday usage, a justification which invites the retort: yes, but should a translation which claims gender neutrality be merely reflective of actual usage, or should it be more… discriminating? Joel M. Hoffman (God Didn’t Say That) concludes that NIV 2011 has preserved much of TNIV’s gender-neutral language, but observes a few inconsistencies. Ben Witherington (On The Bible and Culture) provides a summary of many of the changes involving inclusive language. Martin Shields (Shields Up) responds to the fundamentalist backlash against inclusive language which is evident in The Council on Biblical Manhood and Womenhood’s criticism of the TNIV.
In a wide-ranging discussion, Rick Mansfield (This Lamp) relates that he has encountered many women who read the older translations of Genesis 1.27 (“God created man [האדם] in his own image”), and interpreted it as though it states that only males were created in the image of God. Rick was shocked that women might think this, and so supports the NIV 2011’s gender neutrality, as better communicating the so-called original meaning. However, it should be noted that all divine beings in the Tanach, including the male Yahweh and his male angels, were corporeal; so the “image of God” in Genesis 1.27 plausibly refers to a god with a male-shaped body, complete with, as Michael Coogan notes in his recent book (God and Sex), a God-sized penis – pace trendy yet speculative 1970s androgynous-body theories. This is also the interpretation of Paul in the New Testament (1 Corinthians 11.7), who interprets the reference to creation in the image of God in Genesis 1.27 as applicable only to males. Women, for Paul, were made in the image of men, so were only indirect reflections of God. Mind you, these conclusions are, for obvious interested reasons, hotly contested.
Robert Lyons (Stellar Cross) wishes that NIV 2011 Psalm 1.1 had translated האישׁ as “the man” rather than “the one”, on the grounds that such a translation would support the (much later) Christian/messianic interpretation of “the man” as Jesus. Robert’s wish interestingly reveals that Robert values the indirect facilitating of an ancient Christian reinterpretation over support of the reading practices of – especially – contemporary women. Robert also argues that the description of Phoebe as a “deacon” rather than “deaconess” in Romans 16.1 was wrong, claiming the English word should mirror the feminine gender of the Greek noun διάκονος. But his objection overlooks the fact that in this particular case the anarthrous διάκονος in Romans 16.1 looks exactly the same in feminine and masculine forms. (Note: Robert is a “complementarian,” a euphemistic term employed by those who uphold patriarchal distinction and hierarchy.) Ken Schenck (Quadrilateral Thoughts) also comments on the form of διάκονος in a post on Phoebe, Priscilla, and Junia.
But taking the discussion to a different level, isn’t there something deeply farcical in debating gender equality at the level of a Bible translator’s word choices, when the content of what is being translated – the Bible – overwhelmingly upholds patriarchal, hierarchical and androcentric attitudes? That is, while gender-inclusive language is – I consider – a good in itself, when used to “translate” the Bible it inevitably masks the substantive gender bias which the Bible maintains, and thereby cloaks and perpetuates the Bible’s sexism for its modern Protestant Christian users. Is gender-inclusive language primarily an improvement for women or a means to maintain patriarchy? To answer this question, we might consider David Ker’s post at Better Bibles Blog, which includes a comparison between the NIV 1984 and NIV 2011’s translations of the overtly sexist 1 Timothy 2. David mentions that 1 Timothy 2 provides “one of the most difficult passages for handling gender in the New Testament,” and provides examples of how NIV 2011 has rendered the Greek in order to attain a “successful” gender-neutral translation. The so-called “gender-neutral” translation on which he concentrates is the translation of ἄνθρωπος as “mankind” in 1 Timothy 2.5 – compared with the TNIV’s earlier “human beings” – representative of a change rightly described by Rodney A. Thomas (Political Jesus) as “the giant step backwards in gender language.” Moreover, in concentrating on this allegedly “gender-neutral” translation, David makes no comment on the fact that the NIV 2011 has “neutrally” translated a text containing a blatant androcentric ideology, oppression and curtailment of women’s roles in the early Christian community, confinement of women to domestic spaces, not to mention a justification of women’s submission to men and an essentialization of female inferiority (see 1 Timothy 2.9-15). A curious complaint was made by “complementarian” Denny Burk, who argued that the NIV 2011’s translation of 1 Timothy 2.12 just doesn’t make man’s authority over women clear enough. Denny worries that the translation might be taken to support equality between the sexes. TCR (New Leaven) reports a reply by NIV 2011 translator Douglas Moo, who claims that the NIV 2011 adopted neither an egalitarian nor complementarian position, a claim repeated by fellow translator Craig Blomberg. Denny reiterates his position in two further posts. Related comments are made by Suzanne McCarthy (Suzanne’s Bookshelf: in two posts) and Collin Hansen (The Gospel Coalition). Incidentally, here is the photograph of the translation committee from their website, The Committee on Bible Translation (CBT):
Also well worth reading on the NIV is a post by Joe Heschmeyer (Shameless Popery), where he identifies anti-Catholic, Protestant bias in the translation of παράδοσις as “tradition” whenever the term is used negatively, but as “teachings” whenever it is used positively. John Hobbins (Ancient Hebrew Poetry) examines the new NIV’s translation of Ecclesiastes 11.1-2, and finds that it is “not so much a translation as an interpretation,” because of its overwillingness to paraphrase the unclear or ambiguous Hebrew text. A bloggersation with Rick Mansfield (This Lamp) concerning translation technique ensued (here, here, here, and here). Likewise, Joel Hoffman (God Didn’t Say That) questions whether the translation of οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι (literally, “the Jews”) as “the Jewish leaders”, so translated to avoid anti-Semitic interpretations, is guilty of “improving” the text. Joel also asks whether the context of some passages made the specification unnecessary. Robert Jimenez (Near Emmaus) approves of the NIV 2011’s literal translation “a son of man” in Hebrews 2.6b (quoting Psalm 8.4[5]), in contrast to the TNIV’s “human beings.” The NIV 2011 also changed the definite article of NIV 1984 (“the son of man”), so as to allow either a Christological or anthropological reading of the term – although the effect for the vast majority of the targeted Christian readers will surely be to reinforce their existing Christological understanding of the term, irrespective of Pseudo-Paul‘s meaning in Hebrews 2.6b. Brent Kercheville (Christian Monthly Standard), John Byron (The Biblical World) and Robert Jimenez (Near Emmaus) largely approve of the NIV 2011’s more formally literal translation of σάρξ as “flesh” compared with the NIV’s “sinful/human nature” – despite the fact that the translation “flesh” is, as David Ker correctly puts it, a quaint piece of “Biblese.” John Byron (The Biblical World) notes that God no longer hates divorce in NIV 2011 Malachi 2.16. Nick Norelli (Rightly Dividing the Word of Truth) worries that the dropping of “O” will mean that readers won’t be able to recognize the vocative voice (O Nick of little faith!). Iver Larsen (Better Bibles Blog) examines the translation of Luke 7.28-31 and Matthew 11.12, 16 and 19. N.J. Mackison (Scum of the Earth), Jason A. Staples (Professor Obvious), and J.R. Daniel Kirk (Storied Theology) provide comments on a number of translation choices. Charles Halton (Awilum), Claude Mariottini and Daniel O. McClellan examine a number of examples where NIV 2011 makes forced and spurious translations which appear to be favored for no other good reason than the fact that these “translations” harmonize various errors and contradictions in the Bible.
Such features continue to ensure that the NIV remains a devotional translation for Christian users and seminaries, not a translation for use in academic biblical studies. As Douglas Mangum (Biblia Hebraica et Graeca) summarizes: “It is clear that the translators are less interested in revealing the linguistic and literary complexity of the biblical world than with maintaining an ignorant public’s faith in the accuracy of the putative original language and text.” So one of the most important points for biblical scholarship is correctly stated by John Hobbins (Ancient Hebrew Poetry): “we regard all serious study of the biblical text to depend on intimate familiarity with the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek originals.” Another important observation which this biblioblog discussion has clearly exposed is that philology is “always already” biased and political – even though textual criticism is still widely regarded as the so-called “objective” stage before potentially biased interpretations are seen as kicking in. Yet this conclusion does not entail that all textual criticism is simply equally biased. The NIV certainly has flaws, but the translation is far better in most ways than, for example, The New World Translation.
In other news, Patrick George McCullough (kata ta biblia) describes his first-time textual experimentation with SBLGNT. As noted last month, the Logos Greek New Testament is now available for free download. The creator, Mike Holmes, answers questions on Facebook and on Evangelical Textual Criticism. Mark Hoffman (Biblical Studies and Technological Tools) summarizes an 8-page analysis of SBLGNT in respect of the Gospels by Wieland Willker (Bible Works forum). Joe Weaks (The Macintosh Biblioblog) doesn’t think much of it. Stephen Carlson (Hypotyposeis) is more positive. But scholar of diverse talents, Michael Bird (Ευαγγελιον) gets so excited with scanning his SBLGNT for textual variants, that he makes an SBLGNT Old Spice commercial about his experience.
Peter Bekins (בלשנות) discusses a few of the problems with the classification of biblical texts as either Early (Classical) Biblical Hebrew or Late Biblical Hebrew, with reference to a 2009 article by Ian Young.
Douglas Mangum (Biblia Hebraica et Graeca) posts a two-part question-and-answer session with Seth Sanders, on Sanders’ book, The Invention of Hebrew (University of Illinois, 2009). Part 1 and part 2.
Jan Pieter van de Giessen (Aantekeningen bij de Bijbel) makes a brief comment about the puncta extraordinaria.
Daniel and Tonya (Hebrew and Greek Reader) share their lexical entry for the preposition תחת, which often means “under,” but a few other things as well. Not only do they have a nice diagram of the semantic range made out of differently sized circles and connecting lines, but they also have some “frame semantic diagrams.”
Steve Runge (NT Discourse) shares his ETS paper, in which he claims that Stanley Porter’s prominence-based model of aspect is based on a “flawed theoretical framework.” The paper can be found here.
Randall Buth (Alef and Omega) advocates speaking in Greek if you read the Greek New Testament. He also provides the Greek section of his SBL paper, together with an English summary.
Stephen Carlson (Hypotyposeis) discusses a variant and a dubious conjectural emendation for τοῦ υἱοῦ τοῦ θεοῦ (“of the son of God”) in the received text of Galatians 2.20.
Jim Davila (PaleoJudaica) notes the modern Greek term for blog: ιστολόγιο. Darrell Pursifel (Dr. Platypus) speculates on the classical or Koine Greek term: “ὑφαιλόγιον/hyphailogion (from ὑφαί “web”) or perhaps ἀρκυλόγιον/arkylogion (from ἀρκύς “net”).”
Reception History
As an example of how fundamentalist Christian beliefs help shape the U.S. Government’s disastrous environmental policies, Lauri Lebo (Religion Dispatches) reports on the argument which U.S. Representative John Shimkus delivered in a congressional hearing on Energy and Environment in March 2009. On this YouTube video, Shimkus first reads part of the speech of Yahweh which appears in Genesis 8.21-22 in which Noah’s god promises not to destroy all living creatures, and follows it up with a quote from the words of Jesus in Matthew 24.31 who promises that the Son of Man will rescue Christians in the end times. Then the Illinois Representative delivers this conclusion about global warming: “The earth will end only when God declares its time to be over. Man will not destroy this earth.” James McGrath (Exploring Our Matrix) notes how selective Shimkus was in choosing biblical verses to fit his arguments against global warming, and cheekily suggests that literalists might equally interpret Revelation 16.8 as a prediction that global warming will occur. Not dissimilarly, Steve Wiggins (Sects and Violence in the Ancient World) points out that it is not the Bible’s content that provides any answers about global warming, but the long-held belief of its users that the Bible is some kind of magical answer book which may be cited against their enemies. Also, Joseph Kelly (כל האדם) shares his SBL paper, “What Would Moses Do? On Applying the Test of a False Prophet to the Current Climate Crisis,” which suggests that the test of a false prophet in Deuteronomy 18 may help in adjudicating between climate scientists and skeptics. But I’m still skeptical as to whether this quite unworkable, probably utopian, ancient test to distinguish a “true prophet” from a “false prophet” has any worthwhile contribution whatsoever to make towards understanding global warming deniers.
Søren Holst (Pergament) notes a new children’s picture book series which aims to put the blood, gore, violence, and filth back into Bible stories. “We’re probably the only publisher in the world which has published the story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as a picture book for children,” says Jeanne Dalgaard of Alfa publishers.
Mark Goodacre (NT Blog) and Matt Page (here, here and here) provided details of a new four-part dramatization of the birth of Jesus, called The Nativity, which will screen on BBC1 this Christmas. It’s written by Tony Jordan of Life On Mars, Hustle, and EastEnders fame, and mixes a modern context with the nativity stories of Matthew and Luke. Michael Carden (Jottings) worries that this modernizing transformation of the story of Joseph and Mary, which turns it into a love story, makes “the Holy Family … model the ideal bourgeois Protestant family” while “Mary is reduced to a shadow of herself.”
ASOR media committee member, Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) reveals a new page on The Bible and Interpretation which announces reviews of TV programs and films featuring the Bible or ancient Near East. The page is available here, and already includes links to the NOVA special “Quest for King Solomon’s mines” (links which return you back to the uncanny Jim West, here and here).
S. Brent Plate (The Revealer) discovers a manga called Seinto oniisan – which is about the lives of Jesus and Buddha, “who take a vacation from otherworldly life to shack up together in the Tokyo suburb, Nachikawa.”
Frank Schaeffer discusses Jerry Jenkins and Tim LaHaye’s Left Behind series, Evangelicals, Republicans, the Tea Party, and Revelation, and the effects produced by their self-image as “righteous outsiders.”
Søren Holst (Pergament) observes biblical language in contemporary Danish pop music, including references to 1 Corinthians 15.
Horace Jeffery Hodges (Gypsy Scholar) traces the metaphor of all-devouring death from English 16th/17th-century poet John Donne back to the devouring of death itself in 1 Corinthians 15 and Isaiah 25, while making mention of the devouring Satan of 1 Peter 5.8. The metaphor of devouring Death also makes appearances at Ugarit (ca. 1200 BCE), where Mōtu’s (Death’s) hungry mouth is portrayed as the entrance to the netherworld (KTU 1.5 ii 2ff (“the Ba’al Cycle”, tablet 5, column 2, lines 2 and following)), and in Egyptian iconography, where the part-crocodile Ammut is portrayed as devouring the unworthy dead.
Mark Goodacre (NT Blog) notifies us that the latest Journal for the Study of the New Testament (Dec 2010) features a special issue on Wirkungsgeschichte / Reception History.
Humor and Gossip
The genuine Robert Cargill (Excavator) reports that Raphael Golb got 6 months jail and 5 years probation “after being found guilty on September 30, 2010 of 2 felony and 28 misdemeanor counts of identity theft, criminal impersonation, forgery, aggravated harassment, and the unauthorized use of a computer.” Jim West (Zwinglius Redivivus) notes a good summary of the whole Golbian debacle in The Jewish Journal.
There was panic on the streets of Birmingham when Turn Off The Sun announced that one-time biblioblogger Helen Ingram (The Omega Course, The Geek Muse) was joining this alternative rock band. You can download the songs from their EP, Montesa, on Facebook. BTW: that’s not her on the cover, but a random Spaniard.
Deane Galbraith (Religion Bulletin) announces that nominations are open for The Worst Book Cover in Religious Publishing Awards 2010, and reveals three nominations already received. The challenge is on!
Robert J. Myles (Jesus the Bum) notes that a new journal, The International Journal for Kimean Studies has issued a call for the submission of papers about the work of Heerak Christian Kim for the journal’s first edition in early 2011. H.C. Kim’s unique body of work on all aspects of biblical scholarship, as well as his poetry and other fiction, can be found on Amazon.
Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) provides an English translation of the name of famed New Testament professor, “Ernst Knauf Käsemann.” It turns out his name roughly translates as “the Grave Knobcheese Man.”
Scott Bailey (Scotteriology) discovers a work-out book and DVD which are based on stretching your body into imitations of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It’s called PraiseMoves Alphabetics. And you can even work out to the letters of the Lord’s Prayer in … no, not Aramaic … Hebrew! Intended for Christians who would like to do Yoga, but consider it may well be of the Devil. Ludicrous.
Jim West’s hand trembled as he snapped this photograph of William Dever at ASOR.
Roland Boer (Stalin’s Moustache) discovers, and provides photographic evidence for, the real target of recent student protests in London: John Milbank. On a more serious note, Remy Low (Artisans of a New Humanity) reports Slavoj Žižek’s reaction to the violence of the student protests: “People say you could have delivered the same message without violence. Fuck them! Of course you can deliver the message. But nobody would hear the message.” On a more ludicrous note, check out Milbank’s latest diatribe on sex, and then have a look at Sonja’s dissection of it (at Women in Theology): “I’m starting to feel like Milbank is almost a caricature of himself. If you asked all the post-colonial theorists to get together and design a character who embodied everything they were critiquing, would it not be Milbank?”
One of the editors of the Jewish Study Bible confesses on his home page that he enjoys a scandalous and outrageous hobby: “I have a variety of hobbies, including origami.”
Doug Chaplin (Clayboy) shares an Armstrong and Miller skit about vampires attending the Alpha Course.
Simon Holloway (Davar Akher) shares an animation feauring “two cartoon bears arguing about whether or not the biblical patriarchs observed all of the mitzvot of the Torah.”
Those hard-drinking folk at Eisenbrauns no sooner received their zany new beer mugs, imprinted with The Drinking Party of ‘Ilu (KTU 1.114; RS 24.258), than they were drinking themselves under the table with a very dangerous beverage they called a “root beer float.” JPS (Idle Musings of a Bookseller) has photos of the marzēaḥ mayhem which ensued at the Eisenbrauns premises.
Jim Getz (Ketuvim) shares a cartoon which explains the origins of the universe. He obviously didn’t find this at any of the ETS conference stands.

Hi Dean, thanks for the shout out about my post on the Pope’s new book over at Women In Theology. One correction, though: Those egregious comments about the evidence for the historical Jesus were made by the guy interviewing the Pope, Peter Seewald, and not by the Pope himself.
Corrected. For the Pope’s own egregious comments on the historical Jesus, I guess we have to stick with his Jesus of Nazareth, then.
And there’s more to come on March 15, 2011, according to Amazon pre-order!

David E. S. Stein says:
Re: “isn’t there something deeply farcical in debating gender equality at the level of a Bible translator’s word choices, when the content of what is being translated – the Bible – overwhelmingly upholds patriarchal, hierarchical and androcentric attitudes?”
As one who has thought a lot about the methodology of “gender-sensitive” translation, I will reply that the answer is no. That is, provided that a translation is supposed to reflect how a text expresses its points. An utterance’s wording and its message are two different (albeit overlapping) things. If a text uses gender-nonexclusive Hebrew wording to convey “patriarchal, hierarchical and androcentric attitudes” (as, arguably, the Hebrew Bible often does), then a rendering into another language are surely justified in reflecting that aspect of the Hebrew word choice.
Indeed, I would say that translators have the responsibility to do so. Otherwise the translation misrepresents the source text as being more male-oriented in its wording than it actually is.
P.S. Thanks for this post. I learned a lot from it — and bookmarked many of the linked sites.
A good point in itself, thanks David.
However, for the receiver as not merely a reader but also as a user of a text, does the energy of the debate over biblical gender tend to mask these more substantive issues? That is, is there an effect of ‘something is being done about the problem’ which is in reality superficial? Is such a thing not ‘farce’?
Admittedly there is a lot of smoke, but truly there is also fire. The fire arises from the numerous biblical scholars who misconstrue Hebrew grammatical masculine inflections in general, and masculine human nouns in particular: they insist that it means that only men are in view, or that the biblical authors were employing a male model as a representative human being. In my view, a carefully prepared gender-sensitive translation helps to “smoke out” and counter such linguistic nonsense.
In short, behind the translation controversies are some real issues not only over translation per se, but also over what the Hebrew actually means.

Are ebooks Bad For Kids?
By Max Rivlin-Nadler / June 21, 2013 November 26, 2019
In the eyes of many parents, there’s just something wrong with the image of their child hunched over a tablet computer, whizzing through a program with the tip of their finger. Upon closer inspection, the parent sees that their kid is reading an ebook. Still, the screen itself is unsettling. Haven’t a few generations of parents been taught to turn off the devices and give children a book instead? What happens to that instinct now that books are digital?
Studies Show….
Well, it’s actually quite a tough parenting instinct to shake, it turns out. A new Pew Research Study found that 81% of parents still find that reading print books are important to a child’s development and that 81% (again) find print books preferable to digital ones while reading with their child.
The statistics change a bit when parents are asked about selection and travel. When reading books while on a trip, 73% of parents preferred ebooks (the tablets can also double as a computer, taking up less room). Parents who valued selection also preferred eBooks by 18%.
Does this mean that ebooks are bad for children? No, it means that parents are still changing their own parenting habits, and that they still believe there’s value in a simple, colorful print children’s book (which there is).
Yet another study, however, might not give solace to those parents itching to make the digital jump. Britain’s National Literacy Trust found that children who do most of their reading online are half as likely to be an above-average reader. It also found that “those who read only on-screen are also three times less likely to enjoy reading very much (12% vs 51%) and a third less likely to have a favorite book (59% vs 77%).”
While the favorite book statistic is more indicative of reading habits shifting away from contained long-form stories and more towards shorter, serialized works, the advanced reader statistic is alarming. Does reading ebooks stunt children’s growth?
All Screens are not equal
Digital Book World weighed in, and (as can be assumed from their name) was not pleased by these findings: “Some parents and educators correlate digital screens with ‘unhealthiness.’ For years, they’ve been trying to wean their kids off of TV and video games. TV and video game screens are windows into non-reading activities. ebooks, however, are not video games or passive TV shows.”
Because of the rapidly changing nature of reading, technology, and education, it’s obvious that the jury is still out on the effect of ebooks on reading skills. However, reading is reading. It’s all about making sure that those kids ebooks are less of a game and more of an internal experience, allowing children to create world’s in their minds, and to think critically.

Diana Dull Akers
When it came to ebooks, I was a print book loyalists for some time, very slow to warm up. Yet after participating in a beta test for a children’s ebook company (Bookboard.com) and watching my five year old (who loves books but struggles with reading) read her first sentences using an ebook, I started paying attention. Not all digital books are created equal. I appreciated Bookboard’s approach with ebooks that respect the original book and don’t add bells/whistles/games, etc. “Books aren’t broken” is their mantra and that, alone, gives me some faith (enough that I began parent blogging for them, so yeah, I’ve come around in my thinking on this topic!) Here’s an interesting interview with one of the cofounders about what they are trying to accomplish by choosing to reward kids who read with — wait for it — more books! http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2013/reward-kids-to-encourage-reading-q-and-a-with-founder-of-bookboard/

The Rolling Stones, NASA Announce Unique Mars Rock Honor
posted by Andrew Magnotta @AndrewMagnotta - Aug 23, 2019
If the Rolling Stones thought getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or Mick Jagger's Knighthood were big deals, NASA just bestowed an honor that extends far beyond this planet.
A Mars rock of particular interest to NASA has been dubbed "Rolling Stones Rock" after it was spotted rolling away when the space administration's InSight lander's touched down on the planet last November.
"In images taken by InSight the next day [after the landing], several divots in the orange-red soil can be seen trailing Rolling Stone Rock," NASA explained in a statement. "It's the farthest NASA has seen a rock roll while landing a spacecraft on another planet."
NASA and The Stones enlisted actor Robert Downey Jr. to share the announcement to the band's Rose Bowl Stadium audience Thursday night before the show started.
"Cross-pollinating science and a legendary rock band is always a good thing," Downey said.
NASA's InSight mission control is in the Pasadena, California-area.
"Part of NASA's charter is to. share our work with difference audiences," said Lori Glaze, director of NASA's Planetary Science Division. "When we found out the Stones would be in Pasadena, honoring them seemed like a fun way to reach fans all over the world."
The Rolling Stones themselves called the whole affair a "milestone in our long and eventful history" and thanked NASA.
NASA has also been associated with another iconic rock band, having Queen guitarist Brian May — who moonlights as an astrophysicist — compose a theme song for the New Horizons Space Probe, which reached our solar system's far-out Kuiper Belt this past winter.
The Rolling Stones have two more concerts on their 'No Filter' tour of North America. Get the tour dates here.

Writing STEAM: Composition, STEM, and a New Humanities
Vivian Kao
vkao@ltu.edu
Call for contributions to an edited collection
Deadline for Proposal Submissions: September 30, 2019
Editors: Dr. Vivian Kao, Assistant Professor of Composition, Department of Humanities, Lawrence Technological University; Dr. Julia Kiernan, Assistant Professor of Communication, Liberal Studies Department, Kettering University
Contact email: VKAO@LTU.EDU
It’s no secret that STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) is all the rage in higher education. The National Science Foundation reports that about one-third of all freshmen planned to major in science and engineering disciplines in 2000; by 2016, this proportion had risen to 45% (Science and Engineering Indicators 2018). In response, humanists have explored productive ways of integrating STEM and the humanities to argue for the humanities’ continued “vitality and versatility” (Dimock 478) in the face of global problems that increasingly demand technological and scientific expertise. In the best scenarios, such collaborations have yielded innovative projects and curricula that enhance the experiences of practitioners and students from all the disciplines involved. Wai Chee Dimock, in a recent editors’ column in PMLA expressed hope that “a STEAM [Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics] platform developed under humanist auspices has broad consequences for the arts and sciences both. Bringing a human scale to bear on scientific research, it makes questions of race, class, and culture meaningful to science, even as it harnesses the power of science to give physical forms to humanist aspirations” (478).
Humanists are at the forefront of this cross-pollination between science, technology, and the humanities. In our daily work as educators, scholars, and administrators, we find ways to collaborate with our colleagues in civil engineering, offer new degree programs that allow students to bring the humanities to bear on design experiments, and build an academic culture that promotes a vision of the humanities in the twenty-first century, as well as a vision of technology that is decidedly human.
If humanists are at the forefront of building a vibrant STEAM culture, composition professionals are perhaps the vanguard of the vanguard. The writing classroom is a versatile and exploratory space that, at its best, transcends disciplinary, methodological, generic, political, socioeconomic, and institutional boundaries. Freshman composition, for instance, often required of all students regardless of major or inclination, offers an opportunity to use writing to think through issues that demand the best of what the sciences and humanities have to offer.
This edited volume seeks to explore how writing instruction, writing scholarship, and writing program administration bring STEM and the humanities together in meaningful, creative, and beneficial ways. How do writing professionals contribute to the “vitality and versatility” of the humanities in a moment in which interest in STEM is on the rise? How do compositionists reimagine engineering as a new liberal art?
The volume will be organized into three sections:
1. Writing Instruction
In this section, we seek essays that explore innovative practices in the composition classroom that integrate STEM and the humanities. Case studies and auto-ethnographic accounts of everyday, in-the-trenches writing instruction at all levels that promote the integration of STEM and the humanities are especially welcome. We would be grateful for contributions from contingent faculty, and we value considerations of how higher education labor practices intersect with, impede, or otherwise influence STEM/humanities integration in the classroom.
2. Writing Scholarship
We are equally interested in scholarship that places existing fields of inquiry in rhetoric/composition and writing studies in the context of fostering STEM/humanities integration. Essay topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:
How might basic writers and/or English-language learners contribute to a humanistic STEM culture?
How might we reconfigure professional and technical communication, community-engaged or service-learning writing projects, or public writing projects in this spirit?
How might traditional notions of “academic writing” or “argumentation” have to change in response to the rise of STEM?
How might we harness the power of critical, expressive, ethnographic, feminist, cultural studies, literature-based, transfer-oriented, or process-based pedagogies to envision a technological humanities?
How do multimodal and online/hybrid pedagogies create and critique a technological humanities?
How do Writing-in-the-Disciplines and Writing-across-the-Curriculum programs contribute to, critique, and/or impede the creation of a meaningful technological humanities?
How do maker-based composition pedagogies that utilize 3-D printing, building, crafting, and design contribute to STEAM efforts?
3. Writing Program Administration
Finally, we seek essays that consider how writing program administration, broadly conceived, fosters integration between the humanities and STEM disciplines. Case studies or auto-ethnographic essays by writing program administrators are welcome, as are profiles of writing programs. Additional topics may include, but are not limited to:
STEM and humanities integration as a value expressed in writing program mission statements, budget, faculty hiring, or professional development
ways in which writing programs can align with or critique institutional mission statements through the work of integrating STEM and the humanities
the role of writing programs that incorporate nontraditional or nonacademic spaces for writing, such as prisons, hospitals, corporations, museums, outdoor public spaces, etc.
the role of writing centers
Essays in any of the three sections outlined above written by or about instructors, researchers, and administrators employed at technological or polytechnic universities are highly welcome. The acquisitions editor at Utah State University Press has indicated she would welcome a full proposal for Writing STEAM, complete with a table of contents and abstracts.
Please submit a brief proposal (250-300 words) along with a brief bio to Vivian Kao (vkao@ltu.edu). Final essays should be 5000-6000 words. Interested contributors are encouraged to email with questions regarding their proposals.

Indigenous Art Is So Camp
An international Indigenous art exhibition at the National Gallery of Canada reveals a feminist, camp aesthetic

At the risk of sounding overly romantic (but then again, when do I not), I became the Indigenous art nerd I am today because I wanted to feel. During my undergrad, I struggled to fit myself into the Indigenous Studies scholarship of the early 2010s. Everything was verbose—hypermasculine theories and histories that seldom referenced the forms of countercultural criticism that I, to paraphrase bell hooks, saw around the kitchen tables of Indigenous women and queer and trans individuals, discourses more powerful than anything I was reading within The Discipline. I was quickly alienated.
By chance, a friend took me to an exhibition of work by Amy Malbeuf at the Art Gallery of Alberta and, well, I was moved. I felt wonder and joy and, to complete the cliché, I was brought to tears. The next day I started an Indigenous Aesthetic Tumblr, which slowly grew into a blog on Indigenous art and culture criticism. I wrote about artists who were like rockstars to me—Kent Monkman, Maria Hupfield, Cris Derksen, Kinnie Starr, Nadia Myre, Lisa Jackson, Skeena Reece, Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers, Annie Pootoogook, Meryl McMaster and more—never imagining that I would get to rub elbows with these people I so admired. Admittedly, I fell prey to the cyclical dehumanization of celebrity. But time corroded my vision, as it does. Art became my career. Somewhere along the way, I lost the joy of Indigenous art, of art generally, and the initial emotions that drew me to the gallery became conflated with the day-to-day grind of contending with an industry.
Seeing the National Gallery of Canada’s newly opened exhibition of international Indigenous art, “Àbadakone | Continuous Fire | Feu continuel,” I was reminded of the wonder I felt at Amy Malbeuf’s exhibition all those years ago. Butterflies stirred in my stomach as I entered the NGC, walking into the Great Hall under Mi’kmaq artist Jordan Bennett’s sky installation and over Joi T. Arcand’s Plains Cree syllabics communicating positive phrases, installed on the floor. Bennett’s sky installations enact Indigenous histories and presence by drawing from Mi’kmaq and Beothuk visual culture of Ktaqamkuk. Standing under Bennett’s installations, as the sun poured in through the windows of the Great Hall, was breathtaking. I followed closely behind the international artists as I entered and was struck by the power of kin being brought into the gallery by Indigenous peoples from Turtle Island, and beyond, as if the peoples from these territories were welcoming them with love.

International Indigenous symbolism and aesthetics were a thought-provoking theme throughout “Àbadakone.” The Tribal Women Artists Cooperative (TWAC) installed a painting along the wall of one of the NGC’s sweeping corridors; it was layered with complex, beautiful symbolism from their homeland, India. As I walked the corridor, I was trying to figure out what community this work was from, based on my knowledge of international Indigenous art. The figures reminded me of Anishinaabe painting styles, whereas the colour scheme resembled some I had seen in Aboriginal Australian art. When I found out that TWAC was based in India, I was surprised. I wondered, Is there a universal visual Indigenous language that supersedes the languages that colonized us?
Conversations about Indigenous internationalism in art always run the risk of voyeuristic intent, orientalist curation and tribalist framing. I want to be clear that I’m not attempting to argue, as anthropologists have for centuries, that there is a certain “look” to Indigenous art or that Indigenous art comprises a specific set of symbols and materials, thereby reifying white-supremacist ideologies meant to degrade non-Western knowledge. Rather, as I moved through the rest of the exhibition, I began to wonder if the universality I detected was actually a shared penchant for camp.
Camp, in brief, is all things ostentatious, exaggerated, affected and theatrical. And “Àbadakone” is camp. After passing by TWAC’s painting, I came into a second hall, where I found myself overwhelmed by the grandeur of AKA (2019), a 14-metre tall woven-rope installation by the Mata Aho Collective, which comprised four Māori women. The installation was huge, reaching up to the tall ceiling of the NGC. Sunlight illuminated the openings in the weaving, and I had to strain my neck to see to the top of the structure. Much like Jordan Bennett’s installation, doing so connected me with the open airiness of the space. As I exited the halls and moved into the main galleries, I was met with Rukai artist Eleng Luluan’s Between Dreams (2012), another statement of the Indigenous aesthetics of camp. Between Dreams is an installation made of white knitted material that reaches from floor to ceiling, its flourished tendrils spilled out from its bulbous base and into the gallery, as if it were a vine taking over concrete.

“Àbadakone” showed me that if there is one thing that Indigenous people are good at, it’s elevating materials some consider tacky, simple or poor quality into luxe and elegant forms of fine art. Think Dolly Parton’s Backwoods Barbie, but Indigenous (so maybe think Buffy Sainte-Marie?). Because, after all, isn’t being a little bit country what makes us Indigenous? We are the original rhinestone cowboys. There is inherent racism in the construction of a “lowbrow” aesthetic (which denegrates the aesthetics of camp) because Indigenous peoples, Black peoples and people of colour are the ones producing camp culture (see also: how racism and homophobia killed disco). Camp versions of weaving and fibre arts appear throughout “Àbadakone” as a reminder that Indigenous people were doing fibre works long before white artists caught onto its subversiveness. Navajo artist Melissa Cody blends traditional Navajo techniques with references to the pixelization of 1980s video games in her wool weaving World Traveler (2014). Haida artist Lisa Hageman Yajulanaas’s Raining Gold (2012–17) is a beautifully woven robe made from sheep wool and gold leaf that meditates upon the artist’s contemporary aesthetics and how their practice is simultaneously influenced by ancestral Haida design. Weavings by Cody and Hageman Yahgulanaas, blending ancestral techniques with new forms of story and knowledge production, are a reminder that Indigenous people were the original camp—a kind of pre-camp, if you will.
Weaving, for the artists of “Àbadakone,” is a powerful contemporary method for imaging futurist, utopian ethics. Mi’kmaq artist Ursula Johnson’s series Mi’kwite’tmn (Do You Remember?) (2014–)—wherein the artist hand-etched diagrams of baskets made by her great-grandmother into acrylic vitrines with birch-face plinths, thereby subverting the idea of a sterile, deadened museum artifact—asks audiences to not mistake the use of weaving as pure nostalgia. Hlubi artist Siwa Mgoboza’s The Ultrabeam (2017) is made from isiShweshwe fabric, glass beads, tulle and cotton thread, and imagines a utopian world called “Africadia.” The immersive rooms in “Àbadakone” also expose an Indigenous futurist ethics generated through the use of traditional knowledge—featuring exaggerated materials by Algonquin-French artist Caroline Monnet and a shadow-projecting glass light box by Dzawada’enuxw artist Marianne Nicolson—by acting as portals to Indigenous worlds.
The focus on universal textiles and weaving throughout “Àbadakone” is a conscious grounding of the feminine circles that sustain Indigenous communities. Eternity Kap Kanin (2012) by Sámi artist Inger Blix Kvammen, for instance, is a wearable neckpiece incorporating the intensive labour practice of Nenets women of the Russian Arctic with photographs documenting them. Anishinaabe artist Maria Hupfield’s installation Electric Prop and Hum Freestyle Variations (2017–18), comprised of plywood, a protest banner, lights, and objects made of felt, is a depiction of the politics of being an NDN grrrl activist today, and all the contemporary materials that Indigenous feminists transfer love of things onto. Hupfield’s protest signs wrap around the gallery walls and read “Land and, and, and…,” as a reference to urban Indigenous protests. Anger makes me a modern girl, as Sleater-Kinney would say. Found materials industriously used as protest objects also appear in Javanese artist Eko Nugroho’s What Else? (2008–18), the banner images embroidered over textile.

I was happily surprised to find an early photograph by Métis, Saulteaux and Polish artist Dayna Danger, The Outlander (2011), in “Àbadakone.” The Outlander was one of the first images I reblogged to that Indigenous art Tumblr I started, all those years ago, when Indigenous art had brought me so much joy I wanted to archive and record every bit I encountered. Without knowing how exceptional it was, I was drawn to The Outlander because, well, it was very clearly an orgy. In “Àbadakone,” it is surrounded by two of Danger’s masks, one made of brain-tanned caribou hide and another made of beaded leather. The brain-tanned caribou hide mask was made with Danger’s collaborator and friend Jeneen Frei Njootli and was positioned directly facing Frei Njootli’s photographic installation Knowledge Transference III (when the one to author the cut is gone, a small hole in the shape of a portal forms) (1985–2019). Seeing Danger’s work in this light reminded me where I have come from and of the strong roots of relationality that now ground my work in Indigenous art, and in art generally. “Àbadakone” reconnected me with the joy of Indigenous art and the feeling of awe that art can inspire by having an embodied experience moving through gallery spaces. It’s the same kind of joy that brought me out of the Prairies in my youth, chasing feeling and exhilaration. It’s the same joy I felt seeing Indigenous art in a gallery for the first time and recognizing the audacity of my own representation. It was being so moved it made me unafraid to enact perhaps the most clichéd sentiment: being moved to tears.
This text was corrected on Monday, November 25 to more accurately reflect details in Maria Hupfield’s, Dayna Danger’s, Eko Nugroho’s and Ursula Johnson’s work; and the spelling of Lisa Hageman Yahjulanaas’s name. We apologize for the errors.

Matthews scores a hat trick, Sandin returns with style as Leafs beat Devils
Terry Koshan
Updated: January 15, 2020 10:37 AM EST
Leafs head on auto pilot in dismal loss to Blackhawks
Keefe and Colliton share Leafs connection
Crisis averted.
The Maple Leafs shook off their first three-game losing streak under Sheldon Keefe, marked by a brutal loss in Florida on Sunday, with a 7-4 beating of the New Jersey Devils on Tuesday night at Scotiabank Arena.
About those concerns with Morgan Rielly out of the lineup for eight weeks with a broken foot … never mind.
At least for one game.
And what would a home game be without offence from Auston Matthews? The Leafs’ most prolific shooter recorded a hat trick, giving him 27 goals in 23 home games. Matthews, who scored into an empty Devils net with 80 seconds to play, has 34 goals in 47 games, putting him on pace for 59. Hunch: He’s going to get 50 for the first time in his NHL career.
It was Matthews’ first three-goal game since he had four in his NHL debut. In between, he had 27 two-goal games.
“I figured I would get (another hat trick) sometime,” Matthews said, deadpan.
“We wanted a good bounce-back game, had a little bit of a lull in the second period and some stuff we would like to clean up, but all in all, it was nice to get back in the win column.”
Defenceman Rasmus Sandin not only stepped into the lineup after being recalled from the Toronto Marlies, he did so in terrific fashion, registering a pair of assists in the first period.
The 19-year-old, in his second stint with the Leafs after playing in six games to start the season, demonstrated again a poise that is beyond his years.
And no surprise that Sandin was given the task of quarterbacking the second power-play unit. Sandin’s smarts give him the chance to excel when the Leafs have a man advantage and we saw that with his ability to get his shot through from the point.
“I feel confident and I feel like I know all the guys a little bit more so that helps,” said Sandin, who was presented with the post-game basketball. “The group is really good and they help me in any way they can.”
Starting a three-game homestand, the Leafs were tighter than they were against the Florida Panthers 48 hours earlier, when they gave up eight goals and were embarrassed.
Until P.K. Subban scored a power-play goal with less than two minutes to play, only Devils forward Blake Coleman — who had a hat trick — beat Frederik Andersen.
With the victory, the Leafs put three points between themselves and the Panthers in the Atlantic Division.
Keefe kept the defence pair of Travis Dermott and Justin Holl together and put Sandin with Cody Ceci and Martin Marincin with Tyson Barrie.
Goals in the first period by John Tavares, Frederik Gauthier and Zach Hyman helped make the debacle in Sunrise a distant memory.
Keefe made some line changes, putting Pierre Engvall with Tavares and William Nylander, and Alex Kerfoot back at centre between Andreas Johnsson and Kasperi Kapanen … Nice way for Jason Spezza to celebrate his 1,100th game in the NHL — his forecheck led to Gauthier’s goal, and his ability to pass the puck after falling to the ice helped result in Hyman’s goal. Spezza’s craftiness has been obvious since the coaching change and it’s kind of hard to believe Mike Babcock had to be convinced to find a use for the veteran centre. Spezza became the 196th player in NHL history to play in 1,100 games. Said Keefe on Spezza: “He’s got a great passion for the game, it keeps him hungry. He wants more all the time, he wants more information, he wants more touches in practice, he wants more time with the skills coaches. That really sets the tone.” … Coleman scored after the Leafs had a 4-0 lead, and then twice in the third after Matthews’ first two put Toronto up 6-1 … For those who fail to recognize what Marincin brings, here’s Keefe: “There were a number of times I caught myself saying ‘Great job, Marty.’ He was excellent on the penalty-kill. He is giving us a lot of good minutes. I liked our defence as a whole.” … Nylander redirected an Engvall pass early in the second for the fourth Toronto goal … Mitch Marner and Matthews hooked up to restore a four-goal Leafs lead at 10:39 of the middle period when Matthews redirected Marner’s pass behind Louis Domingue on a power play. Not long after, Domingue was pulled having allowed five Toronto goals on 19 shots. In came Cory Schneider … In the third, Marner set up Matthews after Hyman got the puck to Marner … It’s going to be intriguing to see if general manager Kyle Dubas makes a trade, especially if teams want one of Kapanen, Johnsson or Kerfoot in return for a defenceman. Clearly, using a Marlie such as Jeremy Bracco as bait won’t cut it if Dubas’ desire is to add a defenceman who can help immediately … Hyman’s tip of Sandin’s shot with four seconds left in the first was a sight to behold. Watch the replay and try to disagree … The Leafs sent winger Mason Marchment back to the Marlies.

We’ve been standing up for children since 1977.
It was a judge’s idea
Inspiration came to Seattle juvenile court judge David W. Soukup in 1976.
Judge Soukup had insufficient information to make a life-changing decision for a 3-year-old girl who had suffered from child abuse.
That’s where the idea came from: These children, who had experienced abuse or neglect, needed trained volunteers speaking up in the courtroom for their best interests.
“It terrified me to make decisions about kids when I didn’t have anybody there.” – Judge David W. Soukup
“When I walked into the lunchroom, there were 50 people there. And I said, ‘This is going to work.’”
– Judge Soukup on the first CASA/GAL meeting, thinking six or seven people would show up
The History of CASA/GAL Movement

1984: National CASA enters into its first cooperative agreement with the U.S. Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, which remains our largest funder to date.
1985: President Ronald Reagan presents National CASA with the President’s Volunteer Action Award.
1985: 10,000 children served annually through 159 programs
1987: 40,000 children served by 12,000 volunteers in 271 local programs and 44 states
1988: Tribal courts first begin CASA programs through grants to five tribes.

How to Slow Down Your Video Speed
Slow motion can be achieved by playing a normal footage at a slower speed through specific video editing software, this technique is often applied to a video subject on instant replay.
by Sofya Lepekhina
Why do you need to make a video in slow motion
An Austrian priest named August Musger first invented the original concept of slowing down a video, also known as slow motion, in the early 20th Century. This video editing type has been widely used in modern filmmaking.
Content creators apply this style to recapture key sports moments of all kinds of athletic activities, or to film natural phenomena such as lightning and rain falling. Many directors also slow down video content for extra dramatic effect of action sequences in feature films and documentaries, or in wildlife films where lions are hunting down prey for example.
For amateur filmmakers, video content creators and many social media influencers, apply slow motion to videos as a way of sharing unique and funny moments such as friends riding on roller coasters or doing backflips in the pool.
Traditionally, this type of video editing is achieved when each film of a video is captured at a rate much faster than what it’d be when played back. In the movie business, this type of filming effect is called over cranking. Over cranking refers to hand cranking that is an early style camera at a faster rate than normal, normally faster than 24-frames per second to produce a film which can be edited to slow down for cinematic effect.
How to do slow motion online with Clideo
However, nowadays slowing down a video is far easier than stressing over complex filming styles. It's possible to do that without the use of complicated programs that take up more time learning how to use it than creating the content.
With Clideo, you can easily slow down or increase the speed of a video, and even mute the sound for extra effect. The app is also a safe and secure way to edit your videos online, as all videos are removed from the software after editing. The app is easy to use for any video content creator skill level, whether you're a beginner or advanced user, follow the three easy steps:
Add a video to the program
Choose a video from a computer or mobile device. It can be your Mac, Windows laptop or iPhone, Android device. You can also choose a video file from either Dropbox, Google Drive or add a link from another online source. The app accepts all the popular file formats such as WMV, AVI, MP4, etc.
Change video speed
Once your video has been uploaded, select the desired speed. Here you can slow it down, make it faster, trim the beginning or the end of the video. In addition, there’s an option to mute the sound of the video.
Watch and download your video
You can watch the result in your browser and go back to continue editing if necessary. Then simply download your video back to the device, Google Drive or Dropbox.
Other ways of slowing down a video
In modern cinematography, slow motion is often created with a camera and a projector, which is a classical film projector used in a movie theatre, but the same basic rules are applied to a television screen and any other device that displays consecutive images at a constant frame rate.
The most common method of achieving a slow-motion video is through high speed photography, which is a more sophisticated technique where video content creators use specialised equipment to record content in fast motion and then slow-motion application are applied to the video to rapidly slow it down. This form of video editing is commonly seen in scientific application videos, like a balloon filled with water being popped or a bullet being shot through a watermelon.

QL-2Co1: Pair of Inscribed Orthogonal Hyperbolas
Exactly 2 Inscribed Orthogonal Hyperbolas can be constructed in a Quadrilateral.
However only a Quadrilateral with obtuse angled Component Triangles have real Inscribed Orthogonal Hyperbolas. See Ref-52, Paris Pamfilos.
The intersections of QL-L1 and QL-Ci1 (not always real) are the centers of the Inscribed Orthogonal Hyperbolas of a Quadrilateral.
The intersections of the two inscribed orthogonal QL-hyperbolas give the orthocentric quadrangle of the in-/ex-centers of QL-Tr1.
All here mentioned properties are from Eckart Schmidt (see Ref-34, QFG-messages #1283-#1296), unless otherwise stated.
The axes can be constructed as follows:
Let M1, M2 be the intersections of QL-Ci1 with the perpendicular bisector of the centers X, Y.
Let C1 and C2 be circles round M1 and M2 through X and Y.
Let Si,1 and Si,2 be the intersections of Mi.QL-P16 and the circle Ci.
The lines Si,j.Sk,l (i ≠ k) are two pairs of orthogonal lines through the centers X, Y, which are the axes of the hyperbolas.
Dual properties
There are dual properties regarding Orthogonal Hyperbolas and Parabolas related to Quadrilaterals and Quadrangles.
•A random quadrilateral has only 1 Inscribed Parabola and 2 Inscribed Orthogonal Hyperbola’s.
•A random quadrangle has 2 Circumscribed Parabola’s and 1 Circumscribed Orthogonal Hyperbola.
These follow from properties of pencils and ranges of conics. All the conics touching the sides of a quadrilateral form a range. All the conics passing through the vertices of a quadrangle form a pencil.
A pencil of conics cuts a general line in pairs of points in involution. The double points of this involution show where just two conics in the pencil touch the line. Applying this to the line at infinity gives two parabolas in the pencil. Comparing this involution with the orthogonal involution at infinity, the pair of points common to both involutions lie on the rectangular hyperbola.
A range of conics has the dual properties.
The asymptotes are the tangents at infinity, obtained by joining the center to the two points at infinity on the hyperbola. If those two points are a pair in the orthogonal involution, then the asymptotes are perpendicular.
A pencil of conics includes one conic passing through a general point, but two conics touching a general line. A range of conics includes one conic touching a general line, but two conics passing through a general point. The unique conic in the range which touches the line at infinity is a parabola.
See Ref-34, Ken Pledger, QFG-messages #1285, #1294.
CT-equation Orthogonal Hyperbolas:
(-d + e + f)2 x2 + (d - e + f)2 y2 + (d + e - f)2 z2

Dalai Lama’s comments on the SSV (1998)
from The Art of Happiness: A Handbook for Living, by the Dalai Lama and Howard C. Cutler, M.D., 1998, Riverhead Books, page 58 (1998)
In recent years… the tide [of philosophical, psychological and other scientific evidence] appears to be turning on this [previously described] profoundly pessimistic view of humanity, coming closer to the Dalai Lama’s view of our underlying nature as gentle and compassionate. Over the past two or three decades, there have been literally hundreds of scientific studies indicating that aggression is not essentially innate and that violent behavior is influenced by a variety of biological, social, situational, and environmental factors. Perhaps the most comprehensive statement on the latest research was summarized in the 1986 Seville Statement on Violence that was drawn up and signed by twenty top scientists from around the world. In that statement, they of course acknowledged that violent behavior does occur, but they categorically stated that it is scientifically incorrect to say that we have an inherited tendency to make war or act violently. That behavior is not genetically programmed into human nature. They said that even though we have the neural apparatus to act violently, that behavior isn’t automatically activated. There’s nothing in our neurophysiology that compels us to act violently. In examining the subject of human nature, most researchers in the field currently feel that fundamentally we have the potential to develop into gentle, caring people or violent, aggressive people; the impulse that gets emphasized is largely a matter of training.

Praja - Enhancing Democracy Through Access to Open Data: What Are the Roles of Government and Civil Society? (Delhi, Sep 08)
Open Government Data (OGD) is widely seen to be a key hallmark of contemporary democratic practice and is often linked to the passing of freedom of information legislation. OGD is a philosophy—and increasingly a set of policies—that promotes transparency, accountability and value creation by making government data available to all. Public bodies produce and commission huge quantities of data and information. By making their datasets available, public institutions become more transparent and accountable to citizens. By encouraging the use, reuse and free distribution of datasets, governments promote business creation and innovative, citizen-centric services. Praja is organising a symposium on "open data and civil society" on Friday, Sep 8, which is supported by European Union and Friedrich Naumann Stiftung fur die Freiheit. Sumandro Chattapadhyay (Research Director) will take part in this event as a speaker in the session on "data centric approach and role of stakeholders in the urban governance ecosystem."
Date: Friday, September 08 2017, 9:30 am - 5:00 pm
Venue: Juniper Hall, India Habitat Centre (Entry from Gate 1)
Invitees: Government representatives, elected representatives, civil society organisation and media representatives.
Event Page: Facebook
To study the intersectionality between transparency, accountability and consumption of data by stakeholders.
To explore opportunities for the civil society to simplify governance through access to data, privacy of stakeholders and to address challenges faced in data collection and analysis.
The takeaway from the seminar should be to develop the idea of achieving data literacy. The presenters after a detailed interaction should take away the following from the event:
Reflections on the use of Internet and technology as tools for better governance
Balance the development of open data and the strategies to use this data in terms of ownership and replication of data
Identify data sets which should be prioritised for release in order to maximise public value
Data Accessibility: Capitalize on the demand for democracy and transparency by making open data more accessible to the larger public
Through sessions, the aim is to specifically investigate the role of civil society and media in this effort. The participants will deliberate on the above-mentioned objectives of the seminar.
Session I: Praja Foundation Website Launch
Session II: Data centric approach and role of stakeholders in the urban governance ecosystem
Session III: Open data-experiences; trends, challenges and opportunities, relationship between governance and data
Filed under: Open Data, Open Government Data, Data Revolution, Data Governance, Openness

Lady Lions Easily Handle Indiana
Story posted February 3, 2012 in CommRadio, Sports by Tom Zulewski
The 19th-ranked Penn State Lady Lions (17-5, 7-3 Big Ten) got back into the win column Thursday night at the Bryce Jordan Center as they routed the Indiana Hoosiers (5-17, 0-10 Big Ten) 76-44 in Big Ten conference play.
This was an important bounce back win for the Lady Lion’s especially after they had their five game winning streak snapped in a tough 83-77 loss at Michigan State last Sunday January 29th.
Two players who stood out for the Lady Lions tonight were sophomore guard Maggie Lucas and junior forward Nikki Greene. Lucas went 8-for-18 from the field and 4-for-7 from three point range, finishing with a total of 24 points on the night. This was her 13th game of the year with 20 or more points.
Nikki Greene was a dominant presence all night for the Lady Lions in the paint. Greene finished the game with a career high 17 points while pulling down 6 rebounds off the glass. Penn State head coach Coquese Washington had high praise for Greene after the game.
“I was really pleased with the way Nikki played with power,” said Washington. “We took advantage of our size inside and we got after it on the boards.”
Staying aggressive in the paint and getting the ball to Nikki Greene and Talia East down low was a recipe for success, and Indiana had no answer for the Lady Lions inside presence all night.
“It was huge mismatch inside,” said Maggie Lucas. “Nikki and Talia pretty much dominated and were lucky to have the post players we have.”
With the Lady Lions up so many points early in the ballgame opportunities were presented for role players to contribute off the bench. In total, 29 points were scored off the bench, with junior guard Gizelle Studevent leading the way with 10 points. Sophomore forward Talia East had a career high 9 points and 9 rebounds as well. This is an encouraging sign going forward especially with the likes of Ohio State and Purdue looming.
“[Washington] reiterated a lot before the game that we needed to have strong bench play today,” said Talia East. “Down the stretch it’s going to come down to our bench playing strong and it was important for me to come off the bench and keep the team going.”
Going into Thursday’s contest the Hoosiers had two players averaging double figures. Junior guard Jasmine McGhee was averaging 13.1 points per game with junior forward Aulani Sinclair averaging 12.2 points per game. Penn State did a solid job of containing and limiting both players' scoring opportunities.
One positive to take out of the loss was the play of redshirt junior center Sasha Chaplin. Chaplin led all Hoosiers with 8 total points and 16 rebounds.
Indiana was well aware, however, of where it fell short defensively.
“You don’t slow Maggie Lucas down,” said Indiana head coach Felisha Legette-Jack. “She’s one of the best players in our conference and we have to be able attack no matter what team you’re playing, no matter what their ranking is overall. We need to improve.”
Maggie Lucas now has 992 career points, eight points shy of 1,000 for her career. She is the third-fastest player in Penn State history to reach 900 points behind Kelly Mazzante and Susan Robinson. When she reaches 1,000 points, Lucas will be the second Lady Lion to accomplish the feat this year, the other being junior guard Alex Bentley. She will also be just the third player in Lady Lion history to reach 1,000 points as a sophomore.
With the win, the Lady Lions now improve to 28-9 all-time versus Indiana and 16-2 all-time in home games versus the Hoosiers.
Up next for the Lady Lions is a game against the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers on Sunday in Bloomington, Indiana.

Expertly Curated by the CoS Staff
Stream: Soft Fangs’ debut album The Light
Recorded in songwriter John Lutkevich's childhood home
on March 15, 2016, 1:15pm
Bedroom pop is loosely classified as lo-fi, often contemplative music that is instantly recognized for its DIY nature. While Soft Fangs certainly meets those criteria, songwriter John Lutkevich took the genre to another level by actually recording his latest album in his childhood home. That effort, The Light, is due out on March 18th via Disposable America and Exploding In Sound Records, but you can stream it early and in full below.
The 11-track The Light is built on heavy-hearted, reverberating guitars that are as nostalgic for their mournful tone as they are for their reminiscence of Sparklehorse. While this crunchy melancholy permeates most of the album, Lutkevich also manages to fold in other indie rock influences that prevent the record from dragging you so deep into the self-reflective sadness that there feels like no hope. There’s the Mac DeMarco slacker vibes of “The Wilderness”, the surprisingly tropical electronics of “Back of a Horse”, and the bright stroll that is “Get a Job”.
Still, the record seeks to muse “about death, life, nature and all the little things people forget,” and so the lyrics delivered in Lutkevich’s hushed tone are there to remind you it’s okay to be not okay every now and then. “I’m old enough to die,” he sings on “Birthday”. “I’m young enough to be alive.” It’s a painful warning and a heartening reminder, which could well describe much of The Light.
“The Light is a very special record to me,” Lutkevich tells Consequence of Sound. “It is the culmination of about a year of home recordings, some written before my first EP came out. I was struggling with a lot of different things at the time, so I basically just recorded my way out of it. It was a rough year, but I emerged from it brighter than I’ve ever been before.”
Take a listen to the entire album below.

Mysteries of a Modern-Day Western Town
It is rare that you come across a town in which you find that the community is more like an extended family rather than a large group of people residing amongst one another within certain parameters. However, such is the case in a small country town situated along the historic Chisholm Trail in Stephens County. Set among the rolling prairies, pecan orchards, oil fields and rich farmlands of south-central Oklahoma, the town of Comanche lies just ten miles south of Duncan and about sixty miles northwest of Ardmore.
The community of Comanche was originally known as Tucker and situated a few miles north of its present site. With the coming of the Rock Island Railroad in 1892, Native American landowner Johnny D. Wilson generously donated his property near the railroad to the town of Tucker, so that it could further prosper with closer proximity to the tracks. The Tucker post office was relocated in 1893, and the town was officially incorporated at its present site in 1898. Comanche assumed many nicknames before it landed its final title, as some called it Tucker, some called it Wilson Town, and others called it Border Queen after its grand communal celebrations and tribal festivities. However, the name Comanche finally stuck when Mr. Wilson insisted that it be named after its true founding fathers, the Comanche Indians who first roamed and settled the land in this territory. Today, a strong sense of pride and persistence is still reflected through the passionate people and the community of Comanche as a whole.
Take it from some of the local leaders....
Owners Ricky and Corey Berzas of R&C's Rib Shack and Tamales in downtown Comanche migrated from Louisiana several years ago for prospects in the petroleum industry until their dreams of bringing a taste of Louisiana to Oklahoma surpassed their new life in the oil field.
"I'm not exactly sure how my family ended up in Comanche, but I wouldn't have it any other way. We are surrounded by good people and a greater community. Here, everyone works together for the greater good. If you're ever in need, a helping hand isn't too far away. We all bring our own strengths forth to make the town a great place to live and to visit." - Ricky Berzas
Rick and Corey have a cool multicultural twist going on at R & C's Rib Shack and Tamales. This husband and wife duo pride themselves on being two Cajuns in the kitchen that bring a mouthwatering mix of their rich Cajun culture with a kick of southern comfort to the Comanche community. Their Lousiana-inspired creations come from the best in the bayou—a collection of secret family recipes that have been passed down the Berzas line from generation to generation. From their spicy fried fish and hand rolled barbecue tamales to their savory smoked meats and authentic Cajun specials, you just never know what they will throw in the creole bowl next. Consider yourself lucky if you happen to drop by on a day when they're serving up their signature catfish courtboullion or crawfish etouffee!
Just across the street from R&C's you will find the Cowboy Opry and Music Store. When you walk in this place, it looks just like a local guitar store with an extensive selection of guitars, fiddles and banjos. But when you make your way to the back, you will discover a magical Cowboy Opry. Founded in 2005, owner Allen Wooten got his first guitar in the early 60s and since then has had a special place in his heart for music and views his establishment as an avenue for sharing his love with all in the community.
If you've never heard of the Cowboy Opry before, it is a large communal gathering place featuring old western décor and replicas of country music's finest like Roy Rojers, Gene Autry and Hank Williams. For over ten years, Mr. Wooten has hosted a free community-wide dinner here every Thursday night. Everyone gathers for the meal around six and the music usually kicks off at seven. The musical entertainment is more of an open-mic concept in which all musicians, both aspiring and established, are welcome to gather on stage to play. The weekly dinner ranges from food provided by local diners to Mr. Wooten cooking up some good ole' fried chicken or stewing up a couple pots of chili and cornbread. At the Cowboy Opry, you can always guarentee good food, good conversation and even better entertainment!
"My wife was from Comanche, so I moved here in 1982. It was evident that Comanche, like many other small towns, need as much support and TLC as it could get to survive and to thrive. From day one, it has been my mission to better community by providing the locals with a form of family-friendly fun that brings everyone together and doesn't cost a dime. I want to give people something to look forward to each week—something that picks them out of the rut of everyday life and gives them some good, wholesome entertainment.
I didn't expect for the Cowboy Opry to become such a huge success, but it has truly been a blessing to me and to the entire community. It's like having a special family dinner each week that EVERYONE in the family looks forward to. Over the years, word about the Cowboy Opry has spread beyond city limits, and we have since welcomed visitors from all over the state, from Lawton to Oklahoma City and beyond. Although donations are accepted, this is not a money-maker for me, it is a passion." - Allen Wooten
When visiting the area, there are a few downtown stores that we recommend checking out for their locally-made products and unique shopping features.
First off: Buzzards Nest - Trading Post
This place is like a carousel of one-of-a-kind finds nestled among themed nooks in a two-story, conjoined building with the set up of a new-age trading post. When shopping here, you can take one step into a sanctuary of handmade baby booties and tiaras and the next step into a pet lovers paradasie, then another step into a heaven of western home whimsies. The Buzzards Nest - Trading Post seriously has anything and everything you could imagine from boutique apparel and accessories to antiques, home décor, artisan works, natural skincare products and so much more!
Secondly: Mud Creek Creations
You know those Pinterest-perfect crafty home accents that you’ve pinned, but you just can’t seem to find the time to attempt. Guess what? Mud Creek Creations has already made them for you. This store features items for the home that have been repurposed by owner and retired local Bob Coffer, who opened his store mainly as a way of extending his newly-found hobby with any and every home needing a colorful refresh. From retro-refinishes and modernized pieces to classic collectibles and western home décor, you will muddle into all of this and more at Mud Creek Creations.
Where else can you find a such a unique, tight-knit community like this? As well-traveled folks, we've never seen any place quite like Comanche before.

Chippo Golf And Imperial Sports Team Up In Tailgate Sweepstakes
(MASSAPEQUA, NY) – Chippo Golf — the revolutionary chipping game for the backyard, beach, tailgate, office or clubhouse – has teamed up with Imperial Sports, the No. 1 headwear brand for Private and Resort golf facilities, to launch a tailgate sweepstakes in celebration of the new football season.
The companies have partnered to give tailgating connoisseurs the opportunity to upgrade their gatherings with Chippo sets and Imperial’s new Tailgate Collection. From Monday, September 16 to Sunday, October 6, those interested can enter the sweepstakes by filling out a form on ImperialSports.com, providing name, email and Instagram handle, in addition to following @imperialsports and @chippogolfon Instagram.
“Football on Saturdays and Sundays just isn’t complete without a successful tailgate, and we look forward to gifting the ultimate package to our fans,” says Brendan McAuley, CEO of Chippo Golf. “Chippo and Imperial are the perfect recipe for pre and post-game festivities.”
One randomly selected grand prize winner will take home two Chippo sets, twelve hats from the Imperial Tailgate Collection, 12 koozies from both brands, a drink cooler and a $150 gift card. Additionally, two randomly selected winners will take home one Chippo set, four hats from the Imperial Tailgate Collection and four koozies.
Chippo consists of two target boards with two heavy duty chipping mats and six high-density foam balls from almostGolf. It is set up with two players per team with the boards separated 15-feet away, facing each other. Players earn one point for hitting the board on the fly, three points for draining a shot in the center hole and five points for sending the ball into a top corner hole. Double points can also be earned if the chip bounces off the chipping mat prior.
“Imperial is all about the finer things in life and that extends to your Saturday tailgate,” says David Shaffer, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Imperial. “We’re excited to team up with a tailgating staple like Chippo Golf for the Tailgate Sweepstakes and welcome new consumers to Imperial.”

Hasbro vs. Mattel: Josh Gad to Star in Amazon’s 80s-Set ‘Toy Wars’ Series
by Nick Romano September 21, 2016
Since The O.C., writer-producer Josh Schwartz went on to kickstart more shows like Gossip Girl and Chuck. But, depending on who you ask, they never lived up to the quality of that Orange County-set teen drama. He continues on, though, with new series in development from Hulu’s Marvel series The Runaways and ABC’s female-led cop drama Broad Squad. Today adds another one to that list: Toy Wars, which chronicles the battle between toy companies Mattel and Hasbro in the 1980s.
According to Deadline, Schwartz, Frozen voice actor Josh Gad and Ryan Dixon are co-writing the series, that was picked up by Amazon and based on the book Toy Wars: The Epic Struggle Between G.I. Joe, Barbie, and the Companies that Make Them.

Written by journalist G. Wayne Miller, who spent years observing the inner workings of Hasbro, the story centers on Alan Hassenfeld, the company’s CEO who never wanted to be an executive but had to pick up the mantle after his business prodigy brother passed away from AIDS. Hassenfeld then struggled to balance the demands of his job with his hopes for making the toys children crave. Also featured in the story are real-life figures like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Power Rangers creator Haim Saban, and Mattel CEO Jill Barad.
Gad is also set to star in the series, while Schwartz serves as showrunner and Seth Gordon (director of Horrible Bosses and the upcoming Baywatch reboot) is planning to direct the pilot episode. As it happens, Schwartz is keeping on the toy beat with his producer Stephanie Savage, both of whom are working on a feature adaptation of Mattel’s toy line Monsters High.
It’ll be an interesting compliment to what we’re seeing from both companies now in the 21st century. Hasbro has developed many of its properties into major entertainment franchises, including Transformers, G.I. Joe, and My Little Pony. Mattel, meanwhile, is starting to bulk up more with a Barbie feature film in development, and the upcoming Monster Trucks, the latter of which may already be in trouble.

Colombia celebrates Earth Hour with 60 minutes of darkness
by Andrew J. Wight March 30, 2014
Iconic buildings and ordinary homes across Colombia went dark on Saturday night as the country joined 7000 cities in 160 countries to celebrate Earth Hour and raise funds for conservation group World Wildlife Fund (WWF). At 8.30pm local time on Saturday night, the Colpatria tower in Bogota went dark, as did other building in the center of Bogota and in the cities of Medellin, Cali , Bucaramanga and Barranquilla.
The symbolic one hour of darkness was to raise awareness of environmental issues, particularly climate change. Funds raised by the WWF during the hour will go towards monitoring the health of Colombia’s ecosystems, building a wildlife-livestock barrier and helping indigenous people to develop non-logging activities.
“Medellin’s integrated public transportation system uses electrical energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, initiatives such as the Central Park of Antioquia, Medellin River Project or the metropolitan green belt are a sign of commitment from the city to the welfare of its citizens and the environment.”-WWF
Medellin leads country
This year, Medellin was announced as the lead city for Colombia’s campaign and was also named one of the top “green cities” in the world.
The City Challenge also invited people around the globe to vote for their favorite green city in the people’s choice “We Love Cities” online campaign. Tied for first place were Medellin, Colombia Cape Town in South Africa and Khunhan in Thailand.
According to the WWF, Medellin was awarded for its commitment to sustainable development and mitigating and adapting to climate change.
“Medellin’s integrated public transportation system uses electrical energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. Moreover, initiatives such as the Central Park of Antioquia, Medellin River Project or the metropolitan green belt are a sign of commitment from the city to the welfare of its citizens and the environment,” said the WWF in a statement.
