[Seattle Go Center] Weekend Events
This Saturday, May 31, Simon (Ximeng) Yu 1p will be teaching at the Go Center, starting around 2:00. The Go Center will open the regular Saturday hours (1-7 p.m.) Most Saturdays we have more than 20 players visit.
The Crossroads meet-up will not be happening this Saturday, but will continue this summer on Thursdays and Saturdays, from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m.
The Ratings Tournament is this Sunday, June 1. From email, I know we have a 6 dan playing, and a 20 kyu as well, in addition to our usual low dan players and single digit kyu players. So we should be able to find games for a wide range of players. Registration is on the day of the tournament, starting at 12:00 p.m.
Manager, Seattle Go Center
[Seattle Go Center] Ratings Tournament this Sunday, June 1
Once again I am shocked to discover that another month is fast approaching. Our Monthly Ratings Tournament is this Sunday, June 1, at the Go Center, with registration from 12:00 to 12:45. At the last regular Monthly Ratings Tournament in April we had 10 players from 2 dan to 20 kyu.
Here are the details of the tournament:
This is a great way to play some intense Go face to face. 3 rounds, Japanese rules. The tournament is free, but you need to pay for your visit to the Go Center, or be a voting member of the Go Center, or be a "new member" which gives you ten free visits. Registration is from 12:00 - 12:45 sharp. You can call 206 545-1424 if you will run late. If you call in, your clock starts 10 min into the first round, and after 30 min, if you do not show, you forfeit.
AGA membership required; please check to see if your membership is current, and try to renew it online if it needs to be updated. More info on membership is at www.usgo.org You can join the AGA or renew in person at the Go Center as well, but please come early to do that. You do not have play all three rounds - just be sure to tell the Tournament Director what your plans are.
If your first game runs long, you do not have much time for lunch. We recommend that you bring food to the Go Center, rather than planning on going out to get lunch.
[Seattle Go Center] NO DDK CLASS TODAY!
Just a quick reminder that we will not be holding our Double-Digit Kyu
Class tonight in observance of Memorial Day.
See you next week when it's June!
Nick Sibicky, 4D AGA
Double Digit Kyu Class
Mondays, 6:30 PM at SGC
[Seattle Go Center] Closed this Sat Afternoon, Open at 6:00, also meetup in Bellevue
Here is a friendly reminder that the Go Center will be closed this afternoon, Saturday, May 24, but it will be open at 6:00 p.m. and into the night as we watch the 5th game of the Lee Sedol – Gu Li Jubango online. Of course, people will be playing Go at the Center as well. The match game will probably go past midnight, and Dennis Wheeler plans to stay until the end.
We also have a meet-up at Bellevue Crossroads scheduled this Saturday, May 24, from 6:30 – 8:30, with Frank Fukuda as host. They will meet near the giant chess board in the “Game Lane”, near Uncle’s Games. There is no charge for this, and we had 5 people come on the last Saturday we did this.
I hope you have a good weekend.

[Seattle Go Center] Spring Tournament Results
My apologies for not sending this out sooner. Our Spring Tournament at the Go Center on May 4 was well attended, with 26 players. Steven Shi, a UW freshman, won the Open Section. It was his first tournament at the Go Center. Jinhe Cui placed second, and Kum Kang Lee placed third. In the stronger Handicap Section, Dengda (Dan) Tang took first place, and Zhihong Yao (known to most members as Yao) took second. In the Handicap Section for 6 kyu to 30 kyu, Stella Oh took first place and Zhi Wei Chen took second. Stella also won the Youth Award with her 3-0 record. Her teacher is Sonny Cho.
Although they didn't win any prizes, congratulations also to the Betcher brothers, for playing in the Open Section for their first time, and for winning some of their games against very strong players. Jordon was 1-2, and Job 2-1.
The AGA ratings now include the results of this tournament. Thanks also to our Tournament Directors, Bill Chiles and Dan Top.
[Seattle Go Center] Eastside Donations Needed
We are pleased that our Crossroads Bellevue meet-ups are now a regular event. Frank F. will be at the “Game Lane” this Saturday, May 24, from 5:30 – to 8:30, and Thane will be there next Thursday, May 29, for the same hours. This is the first time we have had weekly gatherings on the Eastside on a continuing basis.
We are keeping some of our outreach equipment at Crossroads for the meet-ups. The replacement cost of this equipment is about $400. It would be great if the Eastside players could make donations to the Go Center to help us out. If most Crossroads regulars paid $30 each, we would come out about even. Playing at Crossroads is free; the donation would be “paying forward” for our next outreach effort. Since we are a 501(c)(3) charity, the donations would be tax deductible (for people who itemize their deductions on their federal tax).
Donation checks can be made out to the “Seattle Go Center”, and sent to the address below. You can also use our “Paypal” button on our website to make donations with a credit card, or with Paypal. The button is at the very bottom of this page:
http://www.seattlego.org/donate/ We would really appreciate your help.

Re: [ORE] Booster Question
I would word it as "Mass" and be done with it. That gives you x10 per level.
Having more minions doesn't have any mechanical effect on the rolls, it just presents you with more options related to having more people, which is pretty much the same as them all being 20 feet tall or super dense (or being a swarm of ants or nanites etc).
That's coming from a "don't over complicate it" GM.

So I have a questions regarding the application of the extra booster in Miracles in Wild Talents
I have a PC with Minion Miracle, if he add Booster to the power Minion what is a good effect as he wants to boost the number of minions summoned, not the range or the mass of the minions. Currently I am going with dice pool + 10 per rating of Booster, but i have this gut feeling that should be dice pool *10 because of the wording of the Extra.

[Seattle Go Center] Closed Saturday Afternoon May 24 - Open in the Evening
We usually close for Memorial Day weekend. This time, it will be a little different. We will be closed in the afternoon, but we will open by 6:00 p.m. to watch the 5th game of the Jubango between Gu Li and Lee Sedol, which will be broadcast on-line from Shangri-La, Yunnan, China. Dennis Wheeler plans to stay late, so come by any time that evening.
[Seattle Go Center] Congratulations to the "Seattle 1" AGA Pandanet Team!
The “Seattle 1” team of the AGA Pandanet City League won their tournament with Washington D.C. this weekend, playing on-line. This means that they win a free to trip to New York City to play the Vancouver B.C. team in person for the championship at the US Go Congress in August. Congratulations!
The Seattle team this round was Simon (Ximeng) Yu, Ho Son, and Momoko Tsutsui. Dong Baek Kim has played in other rounds. Michael Cho is the team captain, and Sonny Cho helped as well.
In the final round, Sonny reports that Simon was ahead by about 20 points when his opponent resigned. Momoko Tsutsui lost a close game by 4.5 points. Ho Son won an exciting game by 9 points against Jie Li 9d, who has won many national tournaments. Ho Son captured a mid-size dragon early in the game and never gave his opponent a chance to come back.
We look forward to the finals in New York!
[Seattle Go Center] Monday's DDK Class: Beer Game/Pro Review
A couple of things about tomorrow's DDK class....
First, there is a SGC board meeting going on at 6:30 pm. Because of the
logistics of this, we will have time to play some games FIRST and do the
lecture AFTER. So, come at 6:30 and play some go!
At 7:30 pm, we will start the lecture. Recently, my friend Kevin Hwang
was in town for a job interview from Texas and we met up late night at a
bar and brought a go board and played some go. This go may not have
been our finest (because, well, you know.....beer) but he recorded the
games and showed them to his teacher, Jennie Shen, 2P. Kevin was nice
enough to transcribe her comments and send them to me, so I'd like to
show you all what a 2-dan professional said about our moves!
TLDR; Come see my drunken go game reviewed by a 2P! Hope to see you there!

[Seattle Go Center] Saturday Events - May 17
The big event this weekend, May 17-18, is our outreach at the U District Street Fair. We will be under a canopy on “the Ave” just north of 42nd St, almost across the way from Bulldog News and Espresso. Our hours are 10-7 Sat, and 10-6 Sun. There will be free hot drinks for all instructors.
The Go Center will be open for regular hours this Saturday, May 17, from 1-7 p.m. Dennis Wheeler will be there. Instructor John Richards will be teaching at the Street Fair.

You can watch his game online on the Pandanet Go Server, starting at 6 p.m. on Saturday. By the way, the Seattle A team is doing well in this tournament, and if they win this weekend, they will one of two teams competing for the championship at the Go Congress in New York this August. Ho Son, Momoko Tsutsui, and Dong Baek Kim are also on the A team, with Michael Cho as the Captain. We wish them more success!
The Meet-up at Crossroads Bellevue will not be happening this Saturday evening. However, it will continue in the future, on both Thursdays and Saturdays.
[ORE] NO SOUL LEFT BEHIND: Playtesters needed for 'Better Angels'
Via http://arcdream.com/home/2014/05/no-soul-left-behind-playtesters-needed-for-better-angels/
For the last few months, Caleb Stokes (No Security) has been running a Better Angels campaign called "The Spared and the Spoiled." You can listen to it on the RPPR Actual Play Podcast.
But as fun as that is, it's just the beginning — the fruit with which we tempt you to evil. We are fiendishly pleased to announce that we plan to publish Caleb's campaign as a full-length Better Angels sourcebook under the title No Soul Left Behind.
It'll be coming to Kickstarter soon. But in the meantime we need playtesters! If you have Better Angels and you have a few friends willing to play it and make notes as they go, we need your help. Email shane.ivey@gmail.com with "'No Soul' Playtesting" in the subject field to sign up. (Cult of ORE warning: Please do NOT just "Reply" to this email!) We'll send detailed instructions and guidelines starting Monday, 19 May 2014.
If you playtest one or two scenarios from No Soul Left Behind—and send us playtest reports as instructed—we'll send the final PDF edition free to you and each friend who helped you playtest it. If you playtest three or more scenarios, we'll also send you one copy in print, free. Or if you playtest five or more scenarios we'll send two copies in print. Of course every playtester will be listed as such in the book's acknowledgements.
What are you in for? Listen as Caleb himself teaches to the test:
Are you still here? Send that email and sign up now!

[ORE] Better Angels: The Cat O' Nine Tails, Vessel of the Villainous Nine
Via http://arcdream.com/home/2014/05/better-angels-the-cat-o-nine-tails-vessel-of-the-villainous-nine/
Written by Greg Stolze and illustrated by Kurt Komoda, © 2014.
The air/land/sea assault craft of the notorious Villainous Nine is a vaguely feline black-and-purple vessel roughly the size and shape of one of those ridiculous stretch Hummer limo-SUVs. The four-foot-tall tires under the stylized wheel wells that look like the limbs of a cat poised to strike propel it at rates of up to 100 mph on the road, and a respectable 65 over rough terrain like, probably, your home. Those same wheels rotate downward to house jet turbines that can lift it, let it hover, or send it through the skies at a top speed of 200 mph. On the water, the tires ratchet outwards and up while pontoons descend and let it skate along looking, for all the world, like a cat recoiling from a puddle. But cats on puddles don't run at 150 mph.
So that's the 'cat' element. What about the nine tails? Well, one of them, in the middle, is the rear jet port that provides forward thrust. The other eight are articulated tentacles, four on each side of the jet, tipped with grasping pincers and, often, with some kind of ordinary machine gun or cannon mounted. The Villainous Nine change the weapons up quite often, depending on the needs of the heist/score/atrocity.
So far, it just gets the Nine where they're going (albeit in style), with weapons turrets that aren't anything much more complicated than the snake-like robots being built at Carnegie Melon University. The unholy devilishness of the device is that it's actually cheaper to maintain than a house cat. It runs on water and doesn't even need a cat box. Moreover, it gets almost fifty miles to the gallon, flying, driving or sailing the seas. Any oil exec would tell you this is clearly, clearly the work of Hell itself.
Statted up as a device, the Cat O' Nine Tails is a Major Environmental Change, so it cost its maker (Brian "Brains" Ornichowski) 3 Generosity. It mimics normal vehicles (which would be minor) except for the fueling gimmick, which pushes it up to Major. Its flaw is one level of "Bulky," making it big enough for all nine to travel in it. (Ornichowski drives, usually making Sly Cowardice or Endurance rolls.) The guns and tentacles are really just chrome for ordinary technology, usually offering +3 weapon Advantage to Sly Cruelty rolls. Each passenger has access to one armed 'tail.'
Activation: Sly Cowardice or Endurance

We have updated Blood of the Gods, Dr. Paul Mitchener's epic Wild Talents sourcebook of heroic action in mythic ancient Greece. In Blood of the Gods the players' heroes and heroines are descended from the gods and goddesses themselves and hold the gods and goddesses as personal patrons. As demigods the player characters derive incredible supernatural powers from both ancestor and patron. They face all the dangers and wonders of ancient myth.
The new update adds new material on roleplaying the culture of archaic Greece and a new adventure, "The Golden Fleece," where your heroes can undertake a quest to achieve the magical golden fleece of Colchis and save beloved Athens from disaster.
Heroes and Antagonists (new skills, weapons, the Divine Hero archetype)
Gods and Religion (hubris, contact with the gods, gods and titans, Olympian gods and goddesses)
Gifts (divine powers built with Wild Talents rules)
Ancient Greek Culture and Beliefs (divine heroes, the polis, philosophy and technology, women in mythic Greece, and more)
Real and Mythical Places (from Argos to the Underworld)
Events (an overview of the 6th century BCE)
Example Characters (seven heroes ready to play)
Monsters (16 creatures from Greek myth)
Sample Adventure: Funeral Games (intrigue and heroism—which will win out?)
Sample Adventure: The Golden Fleece (follow the path of Jason of the Argonauts!)

[Seattle Go Center] U District Street Fair Outreach this Sat and Sun - May 17 & 18
Dear Volunteers,
It’s time to introduce ourselves to the neighbors! We will be setting up a canopy and a table with boards at the U District Street Fair this weekend. We need friendly teachers to show people how to play “capture” on small boards. There will also be chances for teaching games on the 13x13 and 19x19 boards. If you are new to teaching, we are glad to mentor you. Our main advice is to not rush the instruction; it is easy to swamp beginners with too much information. As Bill Camp put it, “Never answer a question that hasn’t been asked.”
We need instructors for:
Sunday 10 am – 6 pm
We will be on the “Ave” (University Way), in booth 343, across the street from Bulldog News Service Espresso, a bit north of 42nd St.
I also need help for load-in and load-out
Saturday 7:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. (meet at the Go Center)
Sunday 6 – 7:30 p.m. (start at the booth)
Please contact me if you can help out.

[Seattle Go Center] Youth Scholarships to Go Congress
This August, the U.S. Go Congress will be in New York City at the Hotel Pennsylvania in midtown Manhattan. More information is at:
http://www.gocongress.org/
Many young people attend the Go Congress, but they have to be accompanied by an adult. There are special programs and opportunities for kids. While this gets expensive for folks in the state of Washington, there are three scholarships available for local youth. The American Go Foundation is offering a $200 scholarship to youth who want to attend the Go Congress. They have to write an essay to apply. There is still time to apply for this. The second AGF scholarship program is for youth competing in the Redmond Cup, which is under way, and in the North American Kyu Championship, which is already finished. The third scholarship comes from the Seattle Go Center.
Using a gift from the Seattle Chapter of the AGA, the Seattle Go Center will provide up to $300 in additional scholarship funds to youth from the State of Washington who are attending the US Go Congress. The total funds available are $1,200; if there are more than four qualified youth by May 30, they will divide up the $1,200 proportionately. The Seattle Go Center funds are intended as a supplement to the current AGF scholarships for the Go Congress.
If youth have already completed their AGF scholarship application, no additional forms will be needed for the supplemental scholarship funds from the Seattle Go Center. They should simply notify Paul Barchilon at youth@usgo.org that they are interested in the additional help. For more information about the AGF Go Congress scholarship program, which is still taking applications, please go to this link:

[Seattle Go Center] Today, Thursday, May 8
All our regular Thursday events are happening today, May 8. The Go Center opens at 2:00 p.m., and we usually have a small group here in the afternoon. Players in the 10 kyu – 4 dan range can usually find a game. Both Japanese and English are spoken (and often Chinese). If you like a quiet game of Go, this is a good time to come. In the evening, the Beginners Class with Frank Lam continues, and it is open to new players. We usually have some kyu players, too.
On the Eastside, the very successful Crossroads Meet-Up continues, in the “Game Lane” of the Crossroads Bellevue Shopping Center. This week, they will be meeting from 5:30 – 8:30 p.m. The players range from double digit kyu players to dan level. Sonny Cho 6d often comes and provides instruction. David O. 4d has also been coming.
In Greenwood, the Couth Buzzard bookstore/coffeehouse gathers Go players on Thursdays. (8310 Greenwood Ave N., Seattle, 98103.) Our instructor John Richards is a regular, and there are usually at least two games in progress. Some of the kyu players we know from Sakura Con hang out here. They close at 9:00 p.m.
[Seattle Go Center] DDK Class Tonight: Zen Go Survivor!
For those of you who haven't been to the class before, you may be
wondering exactly what "Zen Go Survivor" means. Well, simply put it's a
combination of "Zen Go" and "Survivor Go!" Zen go is a go game that is
played between 3 people (sometimes 5) where play rotates around the
table alternating black and white. The odd number of players means that
every other turn, you will alternate between playing a move for white
and playing a move for black. It is a wonderful way to study the game,
as you are trying to find the best moves for both players. "Survivor
Go" is a form of teaching, where the teacher rewards or (more often)
penalizes every move you make, based on your level of ability.
Anyway, this should be a lot of fun! I hope to see you there!
[Seattle Go Center] Tournament this Sunday May 4 Registration at 10 am

Farsi translator / Farsi technical translation / Farsi technical translator / Farsi interpreter
Facts about the Farsi language:
The Persian language (also known as Farsi language) belongs to the Iranian languages group of the Indo-European languages’ Indo-Iranian branch. We differentiate between the Old Persian, Middle Persian (Pahlavi) and New Persian languages. Today’s modern Persian evolved from a Middle Persian dialect.
The New Persian in Iran (formerly:Persia) is spoken by nearly 70 million people. As a result of the Arab conquest in the 7th century A.D. (CE), many Arabic words have been introduced. Further geographically distinct versions of the New Persian are Tajik that uses Cyrillic letters and Dari spoken in Afghanistan.
Today's Persian is written using Arabic letters, a slightly modified version of the Arabic alphabet (more letters than classical Arabic, and also with a different pronunciation).
What we offer: Farsi translation, Farsi technical translation, Farsi native-language proofreading, Farsi technical proofreading, Farsi official translation, Farsi interpreting – Request a quote, or order Farsi translation, or Farsi interpreting!
As a company listed on the stock exchange, NordTelekom’s written materials are expected to radiate sophistication, whether they are financial statements, contracts, or even simply marketing texts. Afford has been the reliable partner we can count on in any situation. This is particularly important now, as our constant expansion in England requires English, Polish and Hungarian language services. I highly recommend them.

Contest, Giveaway, Short Stories
Post Spring Break Contest
April 8, 2014 Artemis Greenleaf
The first person who correctly identify the beach I was sitting on when I wrote this short story wins a signed copy of their choice of one of the following: Earthbound, Cheval Bayard, Confessions of a Troll, Dragon by Knight, The Hanged Man’s Wife, or The Magician’s Children. Reply in the comments.
Spring break was almost over, and the clouds were rolling in. The fog was so thick that even the midday sun hadn’t been able to burn through it. The wind had churned the waves to nearly the color of chocolate milk, and the mist that shrunk visibility to only a few dozen meters was only a few shades lighter.
“Should we start packing?” Carmela asked, pulling her hoodie down around her neck.
“We still have one more night in the campsite,” Madison replied.
“Supposed to rain,” Carmela said, disappointed.
She was not a fan of the ghostly white crabs that scuttled on the beach when they’d walked down to skinny dip in the wee morning hours. Last night, even the tiny sliver of moon had been obscured by clouds. The fog seemed to make the roaring waves sound louder and the crabs bolder. There were more of them last night than ever.
Today, the beach was mostly deserted. A frustrated kyaker and a family with two toddlers were the only other people around. Even the seagulls hadn’t bothered coming out. The other four girls, Carmela and Madison’s school friends, had left this morning. Carmela wished she had joined them.
A sand piper paused in its race down the wet strand of beach and dipped its long bill hopefully in the sand.
“You want to go up the seawall to Ben and Jerry’s?” Carmela asked.
They were down to their least desirable provisions, and there didn’t seem to be much point in just sitting on a chilly, empty beach with Madison.
Ka-lunk.
It sounded like someone had thrown a large rock into the water.
“What was that?” Carmela asked.
Madison rolled her eyes and sighed. “I’m sure it was just a fish jumping. They do that, you know.”
They do that because something’s chasing them. But Carmela didn’t say it out loud.
“Fine. Let’s go get lunch,” Madison said.
After pizza and ice cream, Madison used her mother’s credit card to rent a pedal car, and the girls spent a few hours riding up and down the seawall. The spring break crowd had thinned considerably.
“You sure you don’t want to head home back early?” Carmela asked.
The girls picked up some sandwiches and headed back to their tent. The fog had turned to drizzle, and Carmela couldn’t think of many things she’d rather do less than be stuck in a tent with Madison and nothing to do for the next twelve hours. Maybe she could catch up on some much-needed sleep.
“I need to call Caleb,” Madison announced when they got back to their camp.
“Okay,” Carmela replied.
“I need some privacy.”
Carmela frowned. “It’s raining outside.”
“It’s not raining that hard. Besides, you can take my umbrella.” Madison held out a pink, heart-spattered collapsible brolly to Carmela.
Madison nodded toward the tent flap. “Yes.”
Carmela should have put her foot down, should have stood up to Madison. But that was the funny thing. Nobody ever stood up to Madison, no matter how much they ought to have. Carmela snatched the umbrella and crawled out into the rain.
All the other campers had had the good sense to pack up and go home. Madison’s green and white tent was the only one left in the entire campground. At least that meant that she’d most likely be able to use one of the flush toilets instead of one of the portables. She climbed the ramp and opened the first door.
The fluorescent light flickered and hummed. Just don’t go out while I’m in here. As bathrooms go, this one was quite large, with built-in benches lining the corner facing her. There were no windows, of course, but Carmela did consider dragging her sleeping bag into it, despite the signs forbidding just that. It would be nice if her cell battery wasn’t dead. She could at least text Emily while she was waiting on Madison to finish her oh-so-important private call with her boyfriend. But, lacking anything better to do, she went out to the beach.
It wasn’t quite dark, so she wasn’t too worried about the crabs being out just yet. She hadn’t walked very far down the beach when she noticed strange tracks in the sand – a large body, pulled along by flippers. Could it be a turtle? There were “Report Nesting Turtles” signs everywhere. Although, Carmela hadn’t thought they were that large.
Ka-plunk.
Carmela whirled around, but saw nothing. That was it. Phone call or no phone call, she was going back to the tent.
She headed over the boardwalk towards the campsite. She was surprised to see Madison coming towards her.
“Bathroom,” she told Carmela.
“I want to show you something when you get out,” Carmela replied.
Madison nodded. While Carmela waited, she looked over the edge of the dunes to the wild sea. A vee of pelicans glided silently above the beach.
Something wet and cold flopped onto her shoulder. She yelled as her elbow flew back and struck its target.
“Ow!” complained Madison, rubbing her jaw. “What did you do that for?”
“Why were you sneaking up on me? How was I supposed to know you weren’t some perv?”
“Whatever. What is it you wanted to show me?”
“This way. I think there may be turtles on the beach.”
The tide was going out, and the tracks on the beach were still intact.
“I think that’s more than one turtle. Look how wide it is. Should we call the park rangers or something?” Madison asked.
“Probably. But my phone’s out of batteries.”
“Go get mine. It’s under my pillow.”
Carmela shook her head as she trudged through the deep sand to the boardwalk. Madison was wading into the water. What she saw in that cold water, Carmela would never understand. Besides, the strange tracks and odd noises made her uneasy. She’d get the phone and try to talk Madison out of the sea while they were waiting on the ranger.
Phone in hand, Carmela paused in front of the sign at the end of the boardwalk to dial the turtle hotline. She reported the location of the track as she walked back toward the ocean, then hung up.
Madison, however, was nowhere to be seen.
“Madison! Where are you? This isn’t funny,” Carmela shouted, her voice lost in the wind. She walked perhaps a hundred yards in either direction, but there was no sign of her.
There was no reply.
Carmela decided to check the bathrooms and the tent, but Madison wasn’t there, either. Fear seeped into the corners of her mind. She ran back to the water, but she was alone on the beach. Completely alone.
Madison’s phone dinged, and Carmela looked at the screen. “Battery Critically Low! Plug into Charger.”
Not even a pale, spidery crab had emerged in the thickening dusk. Carmela spun and ran back to the bathrooms, slamming the door behind her and locking it. She slid down the wall and plopped onto the bench in the farthest corner from the door. The light bulb lit up, although it still sputtered. Her hands were shaking so hard she could barely turn on Madison’s phone.
The screen lit up, then went black. “Goodbye!” the message read before the phone fell completely dark.
“No!” Carmela yelled at it, before throwing the useless thing onto the floor.
She pulled her knees up to her chest and hugged them against her. She sat there in the flickering light, heart pounding.
Carmela was sure she heard a grunting noise outside, as if there was a giant pig rooting around at the base of the bathroom structure. She held
her breath. Maybe it was just the wind.
It felt like at least an hour had passed, maybe more. It was quiet outside now. Had she just imagined the strange snuffling? Or maybe the wind had blown something up against the bathrooms? She let her breath out slowly.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Something pounded on the door.
Carmela was sure her heart stopped. She hugged herself even tighter.
“Hello?” called a voice from outside.
“Who’s there?” Carmela said, her voice too loud, too nervous.
“I’m from Parks and Wildlife. Someone called about nesting turtles, but I can’t find anybody.”
Carmela flew across the room and threw open the door. She’d never been happier to see someone in uniform in her life.
“That was me! My friend and I saw the tracks. I went back to get her phone to call, and now I can’t find her.”
“Let’s go make sure she’s not waiting for you on the beach. If not, we’ll call the Coast Guard for a search and rescue.”
Madison had still not turned up. Neither had the crabs. The turtle track was forgotten as Carmela and the park ranger called for her. At least Madison might be able to hear, now that the wind had started to die down.
Something bright green was caught in the beam of his flashlight.
Carmela felt ice in the pit of her stomach. Madison had been wearing a bright green shirt.
“Over there,” she said, suddenly hoarse.
They approached the object gingerly. It was a scrap of fabric. There was a tiny piece of a black printed mustache at one jagged edge.
“That looks like the shirt she was wearing,” Carmela said. “What could have done that?”
“You don’t know it’s her shirt. Every shop on the seawall has those.”
There was an odd sound behind them, like something heavy being dragged over sand. As Carmela turned to look, she heard the same grunting she heard earlier.
There was something large pulling itself across the sand towards them. Carmela cried out, and the ranger swung around, catching the thing in the bright glow of the flashlight.
At first, Carmela thought it was an alligator. A fifteen foot alligator. But she saw that it had flippers, rather than legs and feet. it was black and smooth, and glistened in the beam.
Carmela was sure she’d seen a picture of one of those before, if she could only think of where. She was also sure that the scrap of green fabric caught in its recurved teeth was from Madison’s shirt.
“Run!” yelled the ranger.
Carmela was rooted to the spot, so he grabbed her by the elbow and pulled her along. The beast wasn’t fast on land, and they easily outran it. The ranger radioed for help, but by the time the Coast Guard choppers arrived, the monster was gone. Carmela didn’t dare to be alone, so she stayed with the ranger. He followed the drag marks along the beach until they disappeared into the surf. Just at the water line, he bent over to pick something up.
He held it under the flashlight and examined it. “I’ve seen a lot of stuff wash up on the beach before. I’ve even hunted for fossils in South Dakota. And If I didn’t know better, I would swear this was a mosasaur tooth. Only it isn’t fossilized.”

Famous Romanian Alina Plugaru, Bucharest 2008. Photo by Jonathan Archer
In Romania, there has been a presidential election.
Mr BASESCU versus Mr GEOANA.
Exit polls showed that President Traian Basescu had been defeated by his social democrat challenger, Mircea Geoana.
Geoana, who is a keen supporter of NATO. He once called Basescu a "drunkard" and "head of the mafia". (BBC NEWS Europe Romanian politics mired in abuse)
The exit polls gave Geoana 51 to 52 % of the votes and gave Basescu 48 to 49 %. (President of Romania refuses to concede defeat )
Geoana seemed set for victory after he won the support of the national liberal party.
Romania by Adam Jones Adam63
The election authorities have now stated that Basescu won with 50.33% of the vote; while Mircea Geoana received 49.66%. (Romania in turmoil over poll result )
Băsescu, a former sea captain, is a pro-Pentagon politician who has kept troops in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Romania is said to have CIA connections.
"According to CIA officials, cited by the New York Times, 'one jail (secret CIA prison) was a renovated building on a busy street in Bucharest, Romania'. (European Commission Demands Investigations Regarding CIA Secret ... / Report details CIA prisons in Europe)
Romania, which is in NATO, has troops in Iraq and in Afghanistan.
The 1989 revolt in Romania led to the fall of Ceausescu.
An article apparently written by former Securitate officers ('Was This Your Revolution? This is How It Was!' Democratia, No. 36, 24-30 Sept. 1990) describes how the CIA and KGB organised the fall of Ceausescu.
Reportedly, key figures in the revolt were working for the CIA and KGB, including Militaru (allegedly a KGB-CIA double agent) and the former Securitate officer and adviser to Ceausescu, Dumitru Mazilu (allegedly a CIA agent), and Silviu Brucan (allegedly both a CIA and KGB agent).
Reportedly, just before the revolt, there were 'massive arrivals of so-called Hungarian tourists in Timisoara and Soviet tourists in Cluj'.

Labels: Romania
Yes, Im Romanian and I can tell u this was the greatest election fraud in the history of our country. And whats worse it was all done in plain sight. We have the leaders we deserve. Im glad u brought this subject up.
And btw, Basescu declared himself a winner much before the exitpoll. Draw ur own conclusion now.

Our mission at Annandale Boys Youth Lacrosse is to:
Offer people of all ages in the Fairfax community the opportunity to discover, learn, participate in, and enjoy lacrosse.
Encourage the sport’s development at all levels.
Teach lacrosse skills and techniques.
Promote and maintain the highest ethical standards of teamwork, sportsmanship and respect of the game.
The administrators and coaches of the Annandale Youth Lacrosse Club are committed to promoting a positive athletic learning experience for all AYL athletes. Our goal is to create an environment that encourages the development of good lacro sse skills, sportsmanship, character, self-confidence, leadership and responsibility while having fun at the same time. We want each and every participant to feel like they have made a contribution, and grown as an individual, teammate and youth athlete.
Annandale Youth Lacrosse is a member of the Northern Virginia Youth Lacrosse League (NVYLL) and abides by their rules of conduct. AYL is also a member of the Annandale Boys and Girls Club and supports their player development guidelines requiring equal playing time and a diversity of position play at the U9-U11 levels. Equal playing time is also our goal at the U13-U15 levels; however, attendance, commitment and practice performance can be factors impacting playing time.
Annandale Lax and ABGC support, whenever possible, those players needing financial assistance to play. Everyone who wants to play lacrosse will play. Scholarship information is available here.
We welcome volunteers to join in the fun. You do not need lacrosse experience to get involved, as we have many administrative roles we must fill to run our all volunteer club. We welcome all support! Parents who wish to become assistant coaches are also welcomed. The league will provide parents with training to teach you how to be an assistant lacrosse coach.
Boys' Youth Lacrosse Rules
The National Federation of State High School Association's (NFHS) 2013 Boys Lacrosse Rules Book shall govern US Lacrosse boys youth play, except as amended below. The US Lacrosse Men’s Game Committee has approved these exceptions to the NFHS Rules. Send questions about the US Lacrosse Rules for Boys Youth Lacrosse to the US Lacrosse Men’s Game Rules Subcommittee at boysyouthrules@uslacrosse.org. Please do not contact NFHS about the following rules.
Overarching Principle
The game is to be played with emphasis on the proper development of individual stick skills, team play, player safety, and sportsmanship.
Age and Eligibility Guidelines
US Lacrosse establishes eligibility guidelines in order to promote the game of lacrosse among the youth of America in a safe and sportsmanlike environment. To best achieve this goal, US Lacrosse believes that leagues, associations, and other organizers of youth lacrosse should seek to provide playing opportunities that, as much as possible, establish a "level playing field" among players of similar age, size, and ability.
Age and Eligibility Guidelines are not considered "game-day rules" and are not enforced as game-day rules by officials. Exceptions to age divisions cannot be made on game day and all coaches must adhere to classifications as determined by their league or association.
League and Association Play
Leagues and associations should organize competition by age, and consider physical, cognitive, and emotional maturity when grouping players. For leagues or associations in which some local programs choose to organize their teams by grade, those teams should play in the age division determined by the oldest player on their roster. Players who are participating in any high-school level program such as a high school freshman, JV-B, junior varsity, varsity or club team should not be eligible for U15 competition in the same season. This means that a player who is age-eligible for U15 but plays on a high school level team should not concurrently play on a youth league U15 team. At other times of the year this player may be U15 eligible, for example, for summer ball or fall ball play, depending on the guidelines of the sponsoring league or organization.

Market/Genre: Romantic Comedy
On to the diagnosis…
How should she answer? Saying yes wasn’t an option, that was a level of embarrassment she wasn’t prepared to deal with today. Yet, how else could she believably explain the pile of intimate items at his feet? “Um, well, they belong to a friend.”
He looked up and pinned her with a hard stare. “A friend?”
Crap, he didn’t believe her. “Sure, yeah, she’s out of the country for the year. I’m just holding them for her.”
“Really? What else are you keeping for her?” His muscular arms crossed over his chest as he leaned all his body weight onto his right foot. If he was looking to intimidate her, it was working, even from where he stood three steps below.
“Well, if your friend is gone for a whole year, I doubt the only thing she needed stored was a box of sex toys.”
“Right. Um…” Three billion men in the world that thrived on ignoring the women around them, and she had to go and reveal her most embarrassing secret to one who actually paid attention. Where were her friends? She was going to kill them for leaving her alone like this.
“You know, at first impression you don’t look like a woman that makes a habit out of lying.” He looked her over from head to toe and a shiver ran through her at the intimacy of it.
“There’s a look?”
“Of course there is, and you don’t have it, despite lying to me three times already." His voice dipped deeper, and the air around them charged with energy. Did she imagine it, or did he feel it too?
My Thoughts in Purple:
[Your lead-in advises the male character asks a question before this next line. It does make a difference what that question might be…]
How should she answer? Saying yes wasn’t an option, that was a level of embarrassment she wasn’t prepared to deal with today. [this made me wonder why] Yet, how else could she believably explain the pile of intimate items at his feet? [lots of ‘talk’ here, which takes time, while she’s doing…what? Good spot to show what her physical reaction is – what he sees her do.]
“Um, well, they [this seems odd – why not: it all belongs…] belong to a friend.”
He looked up and pinned her with a hard stare. [nice, instantly saw her freeze in place] “A friend?”
Crap, he didn’t believe her. [this sounds like internal thought, but… “Sure, yeah, she’s out of the country for the year. I’m just holding them [again, this seems odd – perhaps: some stuff] for her.”
“Really? What else are you keeping [op here for a slight tease with “holding”] for her?” His muscular arms crossed over his chest [he crossed his muscular arms*] as he leaned all his body weight onto his right foot. [no need for ‘all’ or ‘body’ here] If he was looking to intimidate her, it was working, even from where he stood three steps below. [Would like some info on the setting here, at least where these steps are located]
“Well, if your friend is gone for a whole year, I doubt a box of sex toys is the only thing she needed stored was a box of sex toys.”
“Right. Um…” Three billion men in the world that thrived on ignoring the women around them, and she had to go and reveal her most embarrassing secret to one who actually paid attention. [I get the intent here, but it isn’t working – plus all 3 billion ignoring men would notice a box of sex toys spilled at their feet, so the point is a bit skewed**] Where were her friends? She was going to kill them for leaving her alone like this. [if she doesn’t know where her friends are, how does she know they’ve left her alone?]
“You know, at first impression [this weakens this line and the dialogue connection] you don’t look [could emphasize (italics) to underscore her dialogue] like a woman that makes a habit out of lying.” He looked her over from head to toe and a shiver ran through her at the intimacy of it. [what made it seem intimate? I wondered if she was repulsed or attracted.]
“Of course there is, and you don’t have it, despite lying to me three times already." His voice dipped deeper, and the air around them charged with energy.*** [better to show a reaction here to what she feels (like goosebumps)] Did she imagine it, or did he feel it too? [she could wonder if he noticed her reaction]
*To use ‘arms crossing over’, add ‘With’ at the beginning. Otherwise, we move our bodies and appendages.
**Removing this interruption creates a snappier pace and pushes the questions forward, which adds tension.
***You can have the character ‘feel’ like the air is charged with energy and wonder if it feels that way to him. Right now, it reads as though the air has made the decision to become charged, not that either character or their possible interaction has created the charge.
The questions:
Mostly…but there are also many opportunities to show emotions and reactions that could be taken advantage of, which would enrich the scene and inform the reader about this encounter.
With gestures, expressions, and body language, we could see how both characters felt, as well as learn more about their personalities, how well they knew each other, and if this was the first time the two characters had met. It is inferred that she was aware of him, and didn’t want to be left alone with him. But why?
(Here's more on using subtext to convey emotions)
Beyond the steps, the scene is floating in white space. No descriptions are available to help us with the weather, the type of structure, the location of the steps, the time of day. Additionally, neither character’s name is used throughout the scene, forcing it further into an abstract situation.
You can ground the scene by showing that the box is dropped because her flip-flop flew off her foot. The box can sail down the steps and land at his feet and burst open. The idea of a ‘private box’ and ‘intimate items’ made me think immediately of lingerie, not sex toys – which is fine, as I was then humorously surprised at the reveal.
The dilemma, as I saw it,wasn’t only what should she say at the moment, but how she was going to get the toys back in the box. Does she shoo him away? Does he wryly or with extreme gallantry offer to, or actually put them in the box? How titillating do you want the scene to be?
At each exchange, you can reveal a small thing about each character – what they’re wearing, their physical state (sweaty, dirty from moving, how their hair looks), their movements and expressions. Body language can be incorporated to emphasize dialogue and show what the characters are feeling or thinking without words. And by the end of the scene, the reader has had a fulfilling experience and is left with a solid idea of what was shared by the characters, and what the scene means to the story.
(Here's more on painting a story world versus dramatizing it)
This scene felt awkward, mostly. Any tension or conflict seems to be only at a flirtatious level. Even the potential for sexual tension is not strongly presented, making it tough to accept that either character has been harboring (and/or holding back) any smoldering intentions toward the other.
The circumstances produce embarrassment, the decision to lie to avoid that embarrassment, and a man whose mildly confrontational stance/attitude seems to be flirtatious, not aggressive. He is challenging her and she doesn’t seem flustered by that. Though, I wasn’t sure if she was attracted to him or simply enduring the intensity of the moment.
(Here's more on adding conflict through subtext)
There isn’t enough information in the scene to determine if this is a confrontation that was ‘doomed’ to happen eventually, or if it just occurred, without any anticipation or threat attached. I did wonder if she had been avoiding him, but that’s only speculation.
I’ll mention as an aside here that the question Michael asks can add a lot to the scene. Most, many guys who had a box full of sex toys fall at their feet and open, spilling toys everywhere, would jump back from the box and the contents. Some guys might laugh. Some might say, Oops! or Whoa! or Look out! as a reaction to the event. The body language would probably go open to closed. Arms out to try to catch the box. Arms closed when the contents are exposed.Then, slightly defiant stance, open to the humor in the situation.
(Here's more on using body language to convey feelings)
Also, we don’t know if Michael was carrying something when this happened, which could also make a difference in how the scene plays out.
Thanks to our brave volunteer for submitting this for me to play with. I hope they–and others–find it helpful. I don’t do a full critique on these, (just as it pertains to the questions) and I encourage you to comment and make suggestions of your own. Just remember that these pieces are works in progress (many by new writers), not polished drafts, so be nice and offer constructive feedback.

Maria, thank you for looking at this. I love having the feedback. Because of wanting to keep to the 250 word limit for submitting, I cut a few things, but I promise, the setting is described a couple paragraphs before, what he is wearing is actually in this scene in my draft, but I cut it to keep to the limit, and what she is wearing is the very next line after what I submitted. :) I thought it might be best to show the interactions in what I submitted, I'll know better for next time if I ever submit again to include more. :) Thank you for looking at this for me, and for all the suggestions, it gives me something to work with. I can see how the writing can be tightened up. Thank you.
Ken Hughes 10:38 AM EST
I think this scene is in the right territory, and the more detailed version probably works even better. But it could be clearer about what kind of tension exists here.
Maria pointed out, the heroine could be intimidated rather than embarrassed and attracted; it isn't quite clear. Also, I'm not feeling the context of how she knows Michael and how that changes her reaction. Being embarrassed with someone she won't see again (she thinks) is different from blowing it with someone she's talked to a couple of times and thought was cute, and those are assuming there's no other baggage between them.
Like Maria said, what about the toys themselves? The heroine must want to sweep the evidence out of sight and just get out of there before it gets worse (or someone else notices), so physically this scene happens in several stages: first when she's too embarrassed (or distracted with excuses) to move, and then when she tries to act. So that's part of the scene's framework-- maybe the pacing works better if she starts closing in during this, or maybe she shouldn't but she should be thinking "I just have to walk in and clean it up and run."
A direct romance might dig deeper into those reactions, and all the ways embarrassment and attraction twist from moment to moment. For this romantic comedy you might keep it lighter, but look for ways to bring out a bit more silliness, if it's the balance you want. Something truly absurd could happen with one of the toys, or you could spin the dialog into somewhere strange-- but be sure it's the right touch. Comedy's a very fine thing, and making embarrassment funny is some of the hardest. You don't just want heavier humor, you want to play up the kind that works for your style. Maybe half of it is about their sheer attraction to each other, or maybe that's driven right out of her head for the moment.
In any case, it's a subtle thing. And the best guide for that might be how you write the whole story, and being sure it's consistent with that.
Anonymous 10:58 AM EST
It was difficult to determine in this snippet of you were going for humor or sexual tension. Her embarrassment would be a given, I think in any situation, and as Ken mentioned could be played off in a really funny way...if that's your intent. I wasn't sure if he was upset and focused on the lying aspect or just teasing her for having a box of sex toys. Maybe the dog could run in and pick up one to play with. I remember when my brother was little, my mom was talking with the insurance agent (in our home) and my brother walked down the stairs pretending to smoke a tampon like a cigar, which my dad always had in his mouth! Talk about embarrassing. So that's my question...funny or just tense? Not quite clear to me. Perhaps more was divulged in the set-up to clarify.
Anonymous 7:56 PM EST
The line that stood out for me was..You know, at first impression...etc. I recently read that a writer should never begin a sentence with...You know... Am I right about this?
Let me be clarify the above statement... I recently read the character should never begin a sentence with...You know. Am I right about this?
It's dialogue, and people say that, so there's nothing wrong with it here. It can be a problem if it's used to tell or explain what someone knows. In this case, it's more of an idiom for "You ought to know this" or the like.

Parish Council Minutes 12 June 2018
Posted on 14th June 2018 by beccymacklen
Minutes of the meeting of the Council held in Five Ash Down Village Hall on Tuesday 12th June 2018 at 7.30p.m.
Cllrs. Blandford (Chairman), Hoggan, Humphreys, Illingworth, Roberts, Rose and Wells.
Also present: ESCC Cllr Galley and Clerks Beccy Macklen and Claudine Feltham.
A member of the public noted that the Parish Mast is back on the agenda but did not know yet if she needed to comment.
Apologies received and accepted from Cllrs McQuarrie, Johnson and Cox
DECLARATION OF MEMBERS INTERESTS
All councillors declared a personal interest in any matters relating to the Ionides Trust/Buxted Community Hall by virtue of the parish council being managing agents of the site.
Cllr. Rose declared a prejudicial interest in any matters relating to the land west of Church Road (Taylor Wimpey site) due to having owned part of the application site and a personal interest in the Ionides Surgery/Hall site due to having a business opposite the land.
Cllr. Wells declared a personal interested in any matters relating to allotments due to being an allotment holder.
MINUTES OF PREVIOUS MEETING
The minutes of the meeting held on 8th May 2018 were signed by the Chairman as a correct record of the meeting.
Cllr. Galley reported that further cuts will be debated at ESCC which will unfortunately be from adult social care. He doubts it will affect Wealden, more Eastbourne and Hastings where majority of funding is allocated.
In his monthly update (available on the parish council website) Cllr. Galley concentrated on the Fire Service who are dealing less and less with fire-fighting and more fire prevention. There must remain a core of highly trained fire fighters which makes budgeting challenging.
Waste collection – Cllr. Galley commented that WDC have had a lot of problems of late with the contractor, but he has been reliably informed that they are gradually getting a grip of the problems. Kier have been very disappointing, especially given it is the last year of their contract. WDC are looking forward to better times with new contractor in 2019.
Cllr. Illingworth updated that the WDC chief executive Charlie Lant is retiring in 6 months. The terms of reference for the application procedure is now in place and it is hoped to find a replacement by the July Full Council. Management is being streamlined to provide a simplified chain of command.
The Local Plan will finally be considered at Full Council on 18th July. We will all be delighted to see this published in a couple of weeks-time.
Proposed by Cllr. Illingworth and seconded by Cllr. Rose, Mr Chris Humphrey, was unanimously co-opted onto the parish council and welcomed to the meeting.
ADOPTION OF GENERAL DATA PROTECTION POLICY
New General Data Protection laws came into force on 25th May 2018 which has previously caused some confusion with regards how it would affect parish councils.
The Information Commission confirmed last month that which made parish councils exempt from the requirement to appoint a Data Protection Officer. The clerks have therefore carried out the following to satisfy new GDPR rules:
Written a policy based on advice from the National Association of Local Councils (to be adopted at the meeting)
Disposed of all personal data from paper files
Disposed of personal date from electronic files and emails
Added a footer to the bottom of emails being sent confirming what will be done with any personal data
Awaiting a pop up to be added to the home page of the website advising how the information they submit will be used
Proposed by Cllr. Blandford and seconded by Cllr. Rose, the new Data Protection Policy was adopted.
ROUND UP OF ANNUAL ASSEMBLY
The chairman reported that the Annual Assembly was relatively well attended, and it gave parishioners the opportunity to talk to councillors and raise any matters to the parish council.
OUTSTANDING MATTERS
Parish Telecommunications Mast: No further contact has been made to the parish council from the telecommunications agent.
Public footpaths: Nothing to report.
Trees: Nothing to report.
Road Safety:
· Buxted High Street Update – Following the parish council meeting in May, the chairman and clerk attended a meeting with two ESCC Highways officers at which we discussed in detail the Buxted High Street situation, specifically in relation to the potential road crossing outside the Buxted Inn. Following the meeting, the following information was received:
“In accordance with national guidance, pedestrian crossings should be located away from conflict points at uncontrolled junctions. This will give drivers an adequate opportunity to appreciate the existence of a crossing and to brake safely. The minimum recommended distance away from a junction is 20 metres for a traffic signalled-controlled crossing and an absolute minimum of 5 metres for a Zebra crossing.
As we discussed at the meeting, introducing a crossing in the vicinity of the mini roundabout is unlikely to achieve the minimum distance specified above and should a scheme be progressed it is likely that this matter would be raised as a safety concern.
The combination of private driveways and on street parking along the High Street prevent a crossing being introduced. Possible locations further east, towards Gordon Road are away from the pedestrian desire line and become close to the existing zebra crossing by Church Road.”
Subsequently, it as also established that it would not be possible to install a zebra crossing below the roundabout as you could not create a sufficiently wide footway between the wall and carriageway. In addition, the verge levels would also need to be altered as you head towards the Station to accommodate a footway. Visibility may also be compromised at this corner too.
Additionally, it was confirmed that the previous central refuge would fall under different legislation to a zebra crossing.
The parish council commented that the parish council has taken this matter as far as it practically can without unfortunately, being able to come to a positive conclusion.
Top End of Buxted High Street (Outside The Moorings)
With regards the top end of Buxted High Street where the speed survey recorded that everyone passing the sensor was over the speed limit, a Senior Highways Officer advised that he had discussed this matter with Sussex Police and commented as follows:
“Further to our recent email correspondence, I can advise you that I have now had the opportunity to discuss the speed data with Sussex Police.
In summary, the data indicates that the 30mph speed limit is generally well adhered to, given that it is a main east – west ‘A’ class road. The westbound figures, for traffic heading towards the village where the level of frontage development becomes more apparent, are good with mean speeds of around 31mph whilst the eastbound figures, for traffic leaving the village centre and heading out through the slightly less developed part, are a little higher with mean speeds around 33mph.
There is also a relatively low percentage of vehicles exceeding the speed limit by a significant amount, given the volumes of traffic using the road, and the Police would prioritise their resources on roads with a higher level of offending and a more significant crash record. For information, there has only been one slight personal injury crash in the entire length of the 30mph speed limit for the latest available three-year period.
Although this is not a priority site for the Road Safety Team, you may wish to consider applying for a Feasibility Study through East Sussex Highways to consider what options might be available to further enhance the existing 30mph speed limit. I would suggest that the measures that could be used would be limited as it is an ‘A’ class road and there are already in position a number of 30mph roundels and red surfacing on the carriageway to reinforce the upright 30 signing.”
Members therefore suggested that the clerks investigate the option of obtaining a SID which can be located in various approved locations in the parish. Hadlow Down are looking at the same scheme so the clerk will liaise. Update in July.
The clerk was also requested to update this information onto the website.
· Court Lane/Five Ash Down safety concerns
Following concerns raised by residents of Court Lane, Five Ash Down, the clerk contacted ESCC Highways and received the following response:
“Last year, we did improve the speed limit signing through Five Ash Down, but I am not aware of a speeding issue in Court Lane.
I have checked the personal injury crash records supplied by Sussex Police and there are none showing in either Court Lane or Five Ash Down. You will appreciate that these sites would not therefore be a priority for us and would require any possible improvements to be considered through the Community Match process.
In the first instance, to establish the nature of any concerns, you should obtain speed data for both roads, after which we can discuss the results to ascertain whether further action would be necessary or justified.”
Councillors therefore discussed this matter and agreed that a speed survey should be carried out on the main road through Five Ash Down and Court Lane and the clerk should request this is funded from the developer contributions.
· Grass Cutting and Wildflower Verges
Cllr. Illingworth raised concerns regarding the allocated wild flower verge in Five Ash Down which is becoming a hazard. Immediately the verge edges need to be cut to give a clear line of vision at this junction and we request that the designation of a wildflower verge, in this location be removed. It is appreciated that there are some varieties of wild flowers in this verge, but it is not species rich and ones to the back of the cut area will survive uncut. Safety is of paramount importance in this location. The clerk will request that the verge be undesignated. Cllr. Humphreys mentioned that he reported the overgrown verge as a hazard, to Highways, and it was cut as a special measure, outside the usual cutting programme.
Now that ESCC have confirmed that parish grass cutting will take place in June and September the clerk has requested the cost of extra cuts on the verges between Buxted School/White Hart, verge at the end of Gordon Road and the verge at the end of Court Lane. Costs are awaited, although it is noted that other parish councils are finding that ESCC are by far the most cost effective.
Ionides Trust: Refer to separate meeting minutes. This topic can now be removed from Outstanding Matters
New community hall: Cllr. Illingworth attended the last BCHT meeting. The Trust has effectively gone into hibernation until the new lease is signed. One Trust member has resigned and fund raising will be kept to a minimum. The chairman commented that there was other work that could be carried out with regards the next stage of build and that they desperately need new members to push the project forward.
Defibrillators: Nothing to report.
Wealden Local Development Framework – Local Plan As per above.
Property issues:
· Consideration of quotes to relocate water pipe on the allotment track
Following the previous meeting the clerk confirmed with the contractor that the works would be guaranteed against any further damaged cause by heavy vehicles using the track. Councillors therefore resolved to award the contract of works to Roy Muddle.
· Damage to Reading Room front wall update and consideration of quote to bollard car park
As requested the proposed bollard was emailed to all councillors that day. It was resolved that the work to install the bollards should go ahead.
With regards the damage to the front of the Reading Room, the insurers have confirmed that the second quote (lower quote) should be accepted and if further works are required than that quoted, photographs should be taken, and further costs given to the insurers to approve. Clerk to instruct builders to go ahead with the works.
Communications Matters:
· Buxted Fete 23rd June 2018: Cllr. Illingworth suggested that the parish council should have a stand at High Hurst wood and Buxted Village Fete. It was agreed that this was short notice and maybe it should be considered for next year.
P1 Trevor Leggo – Invitation to clerks’ discussion on Community Wardens – clerks attending in July
Prior to the parish council meeting, a Finance Committee took place to review the annual end of year financial report.
i) Payments: On the proposal of Cllr. Rose seconded by Cllr. Blandford, payments totalling £8,049.17 covered by cheque numbers 4136 and 4153 were approved. No notable costs.
ii) Bank reconciliations: The clerk had circulated completed a reconciliation for May which were signed
Cllr. Illingworth attended BCHT meeting – as above.
Following main parish council meeting, an Ionides meeting will take place.
The meeting closed at 8.15p.m.

AND WHAT ABOUT CRICKET (contd.2) By CAMERON DUODU
If you are bringing up children and you become aware that they are seriously interested in something – no matter how uninterested in it you are yourself – help them to acquire a prowess in it if you can. That interest will eventually transfer itself to you, if you allow it. And the probability is that you will more than enjoy it.
I was never interested in martial arts – beyond cheering Bruce Lee on when he dealt with crooks such as “The Big Boss” or the iron-fisted monster of a murderer in “Enter The Dragon”.
Yet when my kids became interested in Taekwondo and began to take lessons in it at the Ghana International School in Accra, I gave them all the encouragement I could. This was not easy – they had to be taken to the venue and brought back in the evening, when all one wanted to do was to put one’s feet up with a glass of something cold at hand, and watch a video or two.
But the encouragement paid off – one of them nearly went to an international a tournament in Seoul, with the trip being cancelled, however, because it was in the early eighties, and things happened – or didn’t happen – for reasons that no-one ever got to know or understand..
For me, the funniest thing that happened with that whole Taekwondo business was that one day, when I tried playfully to hit the youngest of them – then only about ten years old – because he had done something I considered naughty, I could not do it! The guy effortlessly parried every single blow I aimed at him! He looked at me impishly as if he was daring me to bring on some more! I had to give up! At which, I suppose, he said “Ki-herp!” in his head and bowed mischievously to himself.
I realised, with secret delight, that he would, from then on, never need any physical protection whatsoever from anyone else, no matter how ‘big’ his would-be assailant was. Not for him the plaintive litany for which little boys were known: “I shall go and tell my father!” or “You wait! My elder brother will get you!” No. Just – “Bring it on, man!” What? At ten years of age?
Simultaneously as the taekwondo was going on, I was told that some of their friends used to go to Burma Camp to ride horses, and could I….?
What? Burma Camp? Horses? For the offspring of a bush man like me? The only horses I knew of were those spoken about by a “Chorus” in Shakespeare:
Think, when we talk of horses,
That you see them
Printing their proud hoofs
I’ the receiving earth….
But it was as good as an order. So, to Burma Camp I went; to the Riding School that trained horses for army officers to sit on to command national parades. Horses that were past parade duties were not destroyed but used to teach young officers how to ride, preparatory to their commanding parades themselves on horseback. The children of army officers were also taught to ride, as were a small number of civilian kids. Two of my boys got in.
The riding lessons took only about an hour or two in the afternoon. But sitting around doing nothing while my kids were doing high kinks in the fenced training ground made me extremely nervous. Suppose one of them fell and was trampled upon by the horse? Suppose one was thrown? Suppose… suppose?
The NCOs in charge were excellent psychologists and one of them who had noticed my nervous disposition came to me and said, “Sah, why don’t you too come along and learn how to ride? Then you would get to know the horses and you wouldn’t be afraid of something bad happening to your boys!”
That made a lot of sense to me. But – oh my God! — me on a horse? How could I ever live it down if the story got told at Asiakwa that I had obtained a gammy leg because I had fallen off a horse? How would all those friends some of whose actions I’d sneered at as being “bourgeois”, take it if they got to know I was into such pursuits as horse-riding?
But that was the least of it. The complications came when I realised that it meant kitting myself in a pair of knee-length boots, plus a riding hat! I felt absolutely ridiculous when I put these on. But it was either that or breaking my fingernails down to the bone with sheer nervousness whilst I sat waiting for the boys to finish their riding lessons. There was no choice, really, was there?
I got on a horse. Or rather horses, for if you went and someone had taken a horse that you’d got used to, or particularly fancied, you got whichever horse it was that was available. Thus, I got to know that horses had personalities as distinct as those in humans. There was a horse called “Dagomba” who wouldn’t move, no matter how hard you kicked it! There was another which turned its head and bit you on the knee if you kicked it too hard. In between, there were horses like “Do good” which were perfectly happy to be ridden, but these were always taken, of course.
One other horse had the habit of stopping to eat leaves from trees when we went “hacking” into the bush. I suppose he thought he was a giraffe born in the wrong body! Anyway, you would kick him and kick him and kick him — GBOO! GBOO”! – with you boot. But he wouldn’t stir a muscle until he had satisfied himself. If by then, the other riders had gone ahead by about 500 yards, he didn’t care! You’d have to gallop hard to catch up with them, and if you had only learnt how to “canter” and not yet learnt how to gallop, you’d have to learn how to gallop by force. It was no joke hanging on for dear life whilst the horse raced to rejoin the convoy that he had deliberately allowed to leave him behind. One could almost see the horse laughing to himself as he said, “You were kicking me because you wanted me to go with the others. Okay — I am ready to go now! So let’s go!” I didn’t know that one could pant whilst trying to stay on a horse that was going fast. I had a lot to learn very very quickly.
If I thought this horse was a rascal, I didn’t know what was lurking in those stables. There was another one that I never dared to ride, but which my elder boy could not have enough of. This was a horse that was at the very end of the behaviour spectrum, and should never have been let loose on humans. He wasn’t just mischievous. He wasn’t merely a vagabond. He was wicked! Damn wicked. And his handlers at the Riding School, knowing what he could do, had named him appropriately as ”Lucifer”!
This horse behaved as if it had seen the horses that were used for rodeo shows in movies and wanted to beat them at their own game. And this boy of mine found Lucifer such a great challenge that against all advice, he would often go and ride him. In trying to save myself from my nerves, I had in fact jumped from the frying-pan into the fire, for now, I was only a few feet away, close at hand on the same turf in the riding pen, when Lucifer was trying to ram my son against the fence railings! Or jump the fence altogether with my son on nits back! The boys in our group were always daring each other, beyond the earshot of us adults, to ride Lucifer, and one day, when I was absent, my son actually rode Lucifer in a gymkhana (horse game) no less! When I learnt of this, I died a thousand times. In absentia! I mean, what would his mother have said to me if he had been hurt? I was supposed to be there to look after him for God’s sake, wasn’t I?
Fortunately, nothing untoward ever happened to any of us, apart from the odd falling-off, which was accepted as a perfectly normal thing in riding. We all managed to master the rudiments of the game. And to begin to love riding. The soldiers used to take us into the bush to do some hacking. We would ride in the bush, cross a stream (of which more later) and then cross the tarred part of the Accra-Nungua road and ride on to Labadi beach.
As soon as the horses saw the sand on Labadi beach, something went “click” in their heads, and they began to race, unbidden! It needed great skill and nerves of steel to steer them though the coconut palms that were all over the beach. But again, thankfully, we never had an accident. Some of the horses loved to rush into the sea straightaway and joyfully immerse themselves in it. How you stayed on their backs as they were doing this was none of their business. The best thing was to alight quickly, hold the reins and allow the horse to lie on its back in the water, and roll about kicking its legs in the air, through the waves.
Because of such adventures, it was always with great relief that we rode safely back to the camp. For a reason regarding which your guess is as good as mine, all the horses broke into a fierce gallop when they saw their stables. Something went ”click” in their heads once more, and they began to race one another. We would do our best to slow them down and take them to their individual stables. But it wasn’t an easy task. When we’d handed them to their stable lads, we would troop into the seargeant’s mess and look for a cool drink.
The soldiers who ran the riding school at that time were very good-humoured and it was quite a joy sitting there sipping a beer with them and listening to them relax and tell stories. I gradually realised that beneath their bonhomie, they were full of tricks. They had a horse called “Leo” which didn’t like to go across water.. Without telling me this, they gave me Leo to ride one day, while we were going to hack to the Labadi beach.Our path lay across a stream!
When we came to the stream we formed a single line and began to go across. Unsuspecting, I followed the others in single file into the water. As soon as Leo reached the middle of the stream, where the water was at its deepest, he just leaned back without warning and sat in the water! I was, of course, thrown into the stream.
I heard everyone laughing. Of course, Leo’s propensity to take a dip in the water uninvited was well known by our riding instructors and in fact had been eagerly anticipatedby trhem! But I, who knew nothing of it, was so surprised I could have had a heart attack right there! What? A horse could do this? I got up, all flustered, took hold of the reins and laboriously tried to pull Leo out of the water. But he lay in it unconcerned. After a great deal of huffing and puffing, I managed to get him. out of the water and wearily climb on to the bank of the stream, dripping with water. The other riders had lined up, watching the two of us pitting our wits against each other. Rider and horse? It was rather a case of horse and rider, I thought!
Once on the opposite bank, I tried to get the water out of my boots, while, at the same time holding hard on to Leo to prevent him from going back into the water, as he was threatening to do every second by looking back and shaking his tail wildly. Exasperated and wet as I was, I must have cut a most pathetic figure, I thought. For I could see that everyone was in stitches and hiding their faces from me – including my own two sons! I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life! But I later got to learn that this was a trick they used Leo to play on every new rider. That still didn’t make me feel any better. Yet I couldn’t show my anger plainly — my kids needed to learn a stoical attitude from me!
While trying self-consciously to deal with my discomfiture, I heard the leader of the ride, who had offered me no help whatsoever, pour zsalt into my wounds by saying, “Sah, as for riding, sah, if you are riding and you fell, sah, your fine is twelve bottles of beer, sah. One carton, sah!”
Everybody laughed at this. I was to be punished for having been ejected into the water? Oh, so that was why they hadn’t put the boys too through the water initiation? There was a fine to pay! How could they have bought twelve bottles of beer? I was literally the ‘fall guy’. Right?
But buying the beer was the least of my concerns right then. How would my kids describe the scene of Leo throwing me into the stream to their mum, when we got back home? Was I going to be the laughing stock of the day in my own home as well?
For some reason, the boys didn’t breathe a word of it to my resident dictator. Was the reason that were we already developing an esprit de corps between ourselves? I swear I appreciated their reticence very much indeed.
The soldiers, for their part, were nothing but the gentlest of creatures when we began quaffing the beer I had been made to buy. No-one refewrred to my misadveture with Leo. As we sat and drank, they told me one of the funniest stories I have ever heard, about class behaviour in Ghana. Again, Leo was to feature hugely in that.

Thunderstruck II, a slot you can play for hours.
Thunderstruck II is the sequel to the very popular and critically acclaimed Thunderstruck video slot. If you have had the pleasure to play the original Thunderstruck, you know just how good it was and what it had to offer.
Now, you may be thinking that sequels are usually worse than the originals. Caddyshack 2, Clerks 2, Every Fast and Furious sequel and pretty much every other sequel ever made never lived up to the original. With the exception being Hot Shots Part Duex. Perhaps the only good thing Charlie Sheen has brought into this world.
I’ll say it right now, Thunderstruck II does not live up to the original. It actually surpasses it!
MicroGaming has outdone themselves once again that’s for sure. They have their share of flops in this business, but they hit the nail on the head with this one.
Thunderstruck II sticks to the original theme of mythology and Norse gods. It may seem like an ordinary slot, but it separates itself from the rest of the pack and even its predecessor in many ways, the first example is the absence of pay lines. Instead, Thunderstruck uses 243 ways to make a winning combination. That’s about 200 more than most standard slots you can find.
There’s also more than 1 bonus game; 5 unique bonus features in all. Each awarding you something righteous and heavenly. I tried my best to use a Godly pun, but I’m not that good.
Other unique features include a tiered bonus system that makes you unlock special bonuses. This is rather annoying at times, but also what made the game addictive for me. I didn’t want to stop playing since the really big bonuses are in this unlocked stage. A smart implementation of a bonus round if I may say.
And if you’re worried that the intensive graphics and features won’t translate over to mobile, or even flash gaming; you’ll be pleased to know that Thunderstruck II works on both platforms quite well. It may go a little slower than other slots due to its resource intense programing, but this is only a minor flaw in an otherwise flawless slot.

Thunderstruck II explained
If you like a slot that is rich in bonuses, Thunderstruck II is it. As I mentioned before, the need to unlock some of these bonuses is both anxiety filled, yet adds tons of replay value to the game.
There are so many bonuses in this slot, I’m really not sure where to start. Let’s just dive right I guess and start with some of the important symbols to wet your whistle.
The Thunderstruck II logo serves as the wild symbol. All wins are doubled when a win is made using the wild symbol.
Thors Hammer
Thor’s Hammer is one of the most powerful and symbolic icons known to man. In Thunderstruck II it will unlock all of the bonus rounds. It’s basically the scatter symbol in the game. Three or more will start you on the journey to finding Thor and his bonuses.
Great Hall of Spins
The bonus feature is technically called “The Great Hall of Spins.” There are 4 levels, each with more to offer. Each level is unlocked by triggering the bonus round a certain number of times.
Valkyrie is the first goddess you will encounter. Her bonus is unlocked the first time you trigger a bonus round. She rewards you with 10 free spins and a 5x multiplier. Free spins can be re-triggered. Not to mention she’s rather cute.
The sinister Loki who isn’t sure if he’s good, bad or just a bad friend is the second feature. He is unlocked after you trigger the bonus feature 5 times. You get 15 free spins and a Wild Magic Feature that randomly transforms symbols into a wild.
Up to 4 extra free spins can be won if Thor’s Hammer lands on the reels during this bonus round.
Trigger the bonus round 10 times to unlock Odin. He awards you 20 free spins and the Wild Raven Feature. The wild Raven feature will have Odin’s Ravens randomly turn symbols into multipliers. Either a 2x, or 3x multiplier is most common. If both birds land on a symbol, it turns into a 6x multiplier.
Finally there is Thor. Triggering the bonus round 15 times unlocks his bonus. You get 25 free spins with rolling reels and multipliers. The rolling reels will make winning combinations. And for each consecutive win, you are awarded a multiplier. It starts at 2x and can get up to 5x with 5 consecutive winning spins.
The bonus features may sound confusing at first, but they really are pretty simple. There’s a nice little progress bar that will even keep track of how many time you have triggered the bonus round.
Along with all of the unlockable bonuses, there’s also a Wildstorm feature. This is where the major win of 2.4 million coins usually happens. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, as it happens at random. But when it does happen, it turns an entire reel wild. In fact, it can turn all 5 reels wild giving you nothing but wild symbols.
Thunderstruck II needs no real explanation. Simply hearing the name should invoke a feeling of excitement. Thunderstruck II does not stray from the original and most will say it enhances the experience.
The big win of 2.5 million coins was reason enough for me to try Thunderstruck II. But I found that the rest of the game play was one of the more pleasurable times I had playing slots. The soundtrack is mesmerizing and makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside while I’m racking up epic wins of godly proportions.

Leaving Normal (1992)
Character Name: Kurt
Meg Tilly and Christine Lahti star in this female buddy story that recalls the earlier Thelma and Louise.
Marianne (Meg Tilly) is a quiet waif who has just walked out on her abusive husband (Brett Cullen). Darly (Christine Lahti) is a brassy waitress who was a ballsy stripper using the stage name Pillow Talk.
Darly is on her way to Alaska to claim a home being built for her and return to the family she abandoned eighteen years earlier. The two women run into each other and Darly allows Marianne to tag along as they journey to Alaska.
On the way, they met a collection of colorful characters, including a strange-talking waitress named 66 (Patrika Darbo), and Walt (James Gammon), a road guy who recognizes Darly as the former Pillow Talk and wants to pay her big money for sex.
The gals finally make it to Alaska, where Darly finds that the house she was expecting to find has never been built. The two set up in a house trailer and, with the Alaskian wilderness as a backdrop, they begin to reevaluate their lives. — Paul Brenner, allmovie.com
Brett Cullen appears only in the first 10 minutes of the movie.

Some bike parts have a date code cast or stamped into the piece. This clearly is when the component was made and not when the bike was made, but unless the component or bike manufacturer had lots of stock lying around in inventory, the date should be a fairly good indication of the year of the bike. At least it would be the earliest date that the bike could have been made. Of course, all this assumes the bike has the original component.
The most likely components to be original are the stem, handlebars, seatpost, and brakes. On a vintage bike in excellent condition that apparently had a lonely existence in a garage all of the components likely are original. As the wear on a vintage bike increases, the greater the likelihood components are not original, either through replacement of worn parts or through component swaps.
Swaps can take place early in the life of a bike as the proud new owner upgrades to new or used components of higher quality. Swaps also can be made as the bike falls out of favor, or is being sold, where the higher quality components are traded for lower quality ones that the owner had onhand. Don’t all cyclists have boxes and boxes of old components in their garage?
Most early Treks through about were sold as framesets. The components were added by the local bike shop or by the buyer. New components often were used.

Early life[ edit ] Brooks was born Rebekah Mary Wade in Warrington , Lancashire now Cheshire , to a father variously described as a tugboat deckhand and gardener. A childhood friend, Louise Weir, described her as “more emotionally intelligent than academic”, charming and always able to get what she wanted out of people. The commentator Henry Porter claims little is known of Brooks personally. She then returned to the News of the World in as editor; at the time, she was the youngest editor of a national British newspaper.
The next day The Sun ran a word reply from the head of the mental health charity SANE , and since then has adopted a style guide on covering mental health stories prepared by the same charity. Brooks and her husband spent a day with the head of SANE and made donations to the charity.

Brooks B17 saddle Author: Hilary Stone For a bicycle part to be still in production for probably nearly years is really quite unique — only matched by another saddle from the Brooks range the B And from the s right through to the s it was the saddle of choice for most serious riders across the world including pro riders from France, Netherlands and Italy who could have chosen a saddle made in their own country.
Hard riding tourists will still often choose a B17 for the sheer comfort it offers over many miles. Initially, the B17 was not the top racing model in Brooks lineup. The B9, B10 and B11 were the top racing saddles. In the s a new B17 model was introduced, the Narrow which was just 6in wide. It had made a brief appearance in the catalogue but it does not appear to become established in the range before the s. A further two new models were introduced for — the Flyer and the Swallow left.
The Swallow was the same width as the Narrow but had cutaway sides in order it was claimed to allow for more rider leg movement. A year later the B17 Flyweight Champion was introduced. Earlier in the 30s Brooks had made several racing saddles with aluminium sideplates in order to effect a weight saving. The Flyweight used conventional steel wires but had an aluminium cantleplate and the leather significantly trimmed, it was the same width as a Flyer and 5ozs lighter.
Reaction When Dave Dameshek asked me to list my top quarterbacks on a recent installment of “The Dave Dameshek Football Podcast” — a topic we revisited in the following episode — I thought it was important to avoid citing the same old names based on career achievements. In the scouting world, evaluators not only monitor and assess players on how they perform; they also project whether a player should be considered to be ascending or descending, based on his expected production in the upcoming season.
Given some time to the review the All Coaches Film from last season and examine the circumstances that could affect each guy’s play this fall — which led me to make a tweak or two — here are my top 10 quarterbacks heading into The year veteran tallied a

Kennedy — there are numerous problems with the claims that form the “big picture” of their book. While the authors hardly go out of their way to emphasize the New Orleans aspect of their theory, it is nothing less than crucial to their “follow the guns” scenario, and it relies almost wholly on the convictions of “an American original” 2 –that “flamboyant” 3 but “frequently pilloried former New Orleans DA Jim Garrison. On the other hand, the La Fontaines note, “Only the Camp Street building” 13 — where Garrison suspect Guy Banister had an office, and where the authors theorize Oswald used an office on the second floor 14 — “can put Oswald in the company of other ‘conspirators.
Later, as we’ll see,” the authors write,” even after he was back in Dallas According to the La Fontaines, if there was a conspiracy to assassinate John F. Kennedy, only “one group” 25 could have been responsible for involving Oswald — in whatever capacity he was involved — and that group is the DRE.

UN Agency Warns of Unemployment-Related Unrest through 2015
Posted on October 2, 2010 by Yves Smith
The specter of demonstrations in Europe are not only likely to become a regular news item, but other economies have high odds of similar social stresses, a UN agency forecasts. The International Labour Organisation has pushed back its estimate of when global employment will return to pre-crisis levels back to 2015. Given the widespread signs of discontent, pressures can only intensify. From the :
The United Nations work agency today warned of a long “labour market recession” and noted that social unrest related to the crisis had already been reported in at least 25 countries, including some recovering emerging economies.
Crisis-hit Spain faced its first general strike in eight years this week as unions protested against the government’s austerity measures and labour reforms. The strike on Wednesday coincided with protests in Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Slovenia and Lithuania, as well as demonstrations in Brussels by tens of thousands of workers from across Europe as part of a European day of action against public spending cuts.
“Fairness must be the compass guiding us out of the crisis,” said ILO director general Juan Somavia. “People can understand and accept difficult choices, if they perceive that all share in the burden of pain. Governments should not have to choose between the demands of financial markets and the needs of their citizens. Financial and social stability must come together. Otherwise, not only the global economy but also social cohesion will be at risk.”
Raymond Torres, lead author of the ILO’s annual World of Work report, published today, warned governments against withdrawing fiscal stimulus measures while the economic recovery was still weak.
Torres said there were two main reasons for the bleaker outlook facing many countries: “The first is that fiscal stimulus measures that were critical in averting a deeper crisis and helped jump-start the economy are now being withdrawn in countries where recovery, if any, is still too weak,” he said. “The second, and more fundamental factor is that the root causes of the crisis have not been properly tackled.”

Wow!I hope their cystal ball is better or atleast more accuratethan mine. 2015 for a return to normal employment levels seems wildly optimistic..Or perhaps they are predicating that scenario on a lot smaller population??
I loved this statement>>”Governments should not have to choose between the demands of financial markets and the needs of their citizens.” It should have been stated differently. {Governments -should not be allowed- to choose between the demands of the financial markets and the needs of their citizens}. If there is a difference between these objectives, then something is out of whack. And we know where most politicians will choose.
Maybe 2015 represents an estimate as to when pumped up police forces will be able to effectively suppress the masses because it’s way too optimistic to be a “return to normal employment levels”. Those are gone forever without any real change.
I agree, the 2015 date, as bad as it sounds, is just a carrot dangled before the dying workhorse to induce him to stagger on.
This “economy” will never restore livable jobs. Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that on the contrary destroying all real jobs has been the intentional policy of close to 40 years now. They’re not going to stop when final victory is in sight.
I hope we see effective general strikes in Europe and elsewhere. They still have the spirit and perhaps the labor infrastructure.
As for America, the spirit seems doubtful. And it seems that part of the genius of the atomization of the citizenry, along with ending the draft and greatly lowering taxes (replacing taxation with government debt), has been the dispersal of the labor force. Part of the goal of the destruction of manufacturing and replacing it with a “service economy” was to disperse physical labor concentration even as all economic power became ever more centralized.
In reading Tocqueville recently, I was struck by his observation that at the same historical moment that government and economic power was most centralized in Paris, all industrialization and its related capitalist infrastructure were also physically centralized there.
So when the bourgeoisie and the workers combined against the government, it was literally a stroll down the street, and the job was done. It was almost effortless, the moment they decided to do it.
But how can people combine for any kind of action in physically disintegrated America? In a bizarre way, it’s like asymmetrical warfare, but with the elites as the rapidly moving guerrillas whose power is in general dispersed and unassailable, but who are able to combine and strike with great force at any chosen point, while the lumbering, sprawled-out beast of the people has no idea where it is or how to move.

Attempter says; “But how can people combine for any kind of action in physically disintegrated America?

First, it IS asymmetrical warfare, and second, it is NOT limited to scamerica. The wealthy ruling elite exert financial control GLOBALLY through their hijacked central banks and through them control global governments, their militaries, and most importantly, Mr. Global Propaganda that has considerably dumbed down the “lumbering, sprawled-out beast of the people” (I repeat, globally, not just in scamerica) who are still stuck in their old paradigm, rah, rah, patriotic nation state box bullshit thinking.
If you want to combine the “lumbering, sprawled-out beast of the people” for any kind of action you must work to;
• Get them all out of their nationcentric state box thinking.
• Make them see the GLOBAL nature of the threat.
• Make them see that this is just the very beginning of an intentional herd thinning to conserve over consumed global resources.
• That it is orchestrated by the global wealthy gangster elite, the same thugs who are responsible for creating the global imbalance in resources.
• Make them see that this is a well planned and orchestrated program of creating perpetual conflict in the masses so as to control them and deplete their energies of resistance against each other, and that it is designed to ultimately produce a two tier ruler and ruled world.
• Work diligently to NOT take the bait, or engage in, any of the many perpetual conflict strategies set out for you, and work instead to inform of the reality, and, for solidarity against the uber rich and their government puppets by mounting massive global election boycotts as a ’vote of no confidence’ in these co-opted governments.
Reading comments yesterday about the attempted coup against the clintonesque Rafael Correa, trying to impose ‘austerity’ in Ecuador, was indicative of the nation state box thinking that exists today. Most all comments took sides with the false left or right factions that were set in conflict, one against the other — caused by the financial machinations — but few questioned those financial machinations and in fact they are accepted as easily as dysfunctional children accept beatings from scum bag parents.
Skip the Sarah Palin, Tea Bag, Mortgage War soaps, and organize globally to de-atomize.
Deception is the strongest political force on the planet.
Right you are, although I didn’t say it was only in America. Nevertheless, as we see from the evidence, the people are more intrepid in many other places.
Election boycotts sound good as far as they go (I personally boycott them, although I would vote at lower levels for relocalization activist-candidates if they existed; indeed I might become such a candidate), but how far do they go? The syndicalist general strike, for example, is a full revolutionary strategy, laid out in concept from the first strikes to the complete assumption of power by workers’ and community councils.
But what do we do with election boycotts other than try to shame governments who don’t seem very prone to shame, to say the least?
i on the ball patriot October 2, 2010 at 10:59 pm
Attemptor says; “But what do we do with election boycotts other than try to shame governments who don’t seem very prone to shame, to say the least?”
Thanks attemptor, I know you are aware of the global scope of the problem, my rant was more for emphasis for those reading on. As for the value of GLOBAL election boycotts, they can go well beyond the shaming of the gangsters and can be far more powerful than the general strikes you mention, and in fact THEY ARE the quintessential general strike. Consider …
For starters, election boycotts have to be proactive. You must write a letter to your supervisor of elections DEMANDING that your letter be COUNTED as your guaranteed vote as a citizen, and counted and posted as a ‘vote of no confidence’ in this crooked gangster hijacked government and the scam electoral process that sustains it (yes I have done so). If your letter vote is not reported with election results, as a legitimate vote, you have a cause of action and can make some noise in the court of public opinion about how your vote has not been counted and that the system is a lie and a scam — which it is (yes I have done so and it prompted the local supervisor of elections to get on local talk radio and defend the system and at the same time demonize a few “kooks” (me) who refused to participate.) A of this approach is that many who are fearful of marching on the streets and making themselves subject to crooked sell out cop beatings and harassment — like in Miami, Oakland and Seattle — would have no qualms about engaging in a letter writing campaign and public constitutional rewrite for betterment meetings.
In tandem with the letter writing, hold highly visible meetings on the public commons of towns and cities throughout scamerica (publicly burn USELESS voter registration cards to gain attention and blame those who vote as responsible for legitimizing and validating the crooked system, WHICH THEY ARE) and work at the same time to rewrite the Constitution. A hallmark of these meetings will be to erase the aggregate generational corruption in the now scam existing ’rule of law’, and blue sky and document remedial measures that can be implemented and incorporated into the new constitution that will be enacted when the old government falls as a result of the ‘vote of no confidence’ that will negate its legitimacy. For example;
• Corporations should be required to have drafted citizens on corporate boards proportional to the dollar volume size of the corporations.
• Loans should be made to citizens interest free and approved by local credit committees that judge applications on societal benefit.
• Cops and military members should be drafted from a pool of ALL citizens for a period of eighteen months (no more of the oppressed and needy selling their morality for a pay check).
• Etc. …
I could go on, but the purpose of the meetings would be to provide REAL hope and a sense of community, a GLOBAL community, that would counter the feelings of atomization. Pot luck dinners, singing and dancing, and reconnecting of citizens, should be a staple of these meetings.
With the proper PR effort, those who do not vote now could be included in the numbers of those who write boycott letters and make for impressive numbers of the ‘no confidence’ block. Currently about half of registered voters do not vote. I am sure they would be happy to be counted with the ‘No confidence’ crowd. Said another way they could be claimed, willing or not.
The alternative is of course participating in the same old non responsive corrupt electoral bullshit. That alone provides fertile ground for the efforts I speak of …
That sounds like a good way to bring many current non-participants into participation. As you describe, the idea offers several layers of participation.
And having been initially mobilized that way, the formerly non-participating could then expand their activism in other ways, as this boycott was interlinked with other avenues of action under a movement umbrella. The goal would be to link negative action like this with positive relocalization and direct democratic action.

I find it interesting how the Left and elites are suddenly suddenly opposed to identity politics. I recently responded to a similar post by Jeffrey Sachs decrying the divisive nature of American politics.
Sachs, who is Jewish, has historically endorsed the Hegelian Marxist idea of minorities struggling against a heterosexual, White male protestant culture. He has also supported the Gramscian idea that it is immoral to expect immigrants to assimilate, even minimally, into Western culture.
Why is anyone surprised that, as Whites become just another racial group in the “rich multicultural tapestry” of “post-White America,” that they will endorse the identity politics every other ethnic and racial group uses?
The current recession, for example, is often analyzed in terms of which racial or ethnic groups is most affected. Blacks and Hispanics, according to the media, are affected more than Whites who are affected more than Asians. (Within these groups, some subgroups are affected more than other subgroups, and some subgroups are affected more or less than other groups.) Just as we have groups purporting to represent the interests of Jews, Blacks, Hispanics, and Asians, we will soon have groups representing the interest of Whites. This is not racism, just Whites becoming like other groups.
Sachs is a Harvard economist. He is well known for his application of economic shock therapy:
“Nancy Holmstrom and Richard Smith pointed out that, in advising implementation of his shock therapy on the collapsing Soviet Union, Sachs “supposed the transition to capitalism would be a natural, virtually automatic economic process: start by abandoning state planning, free up prices, promote private competition with state-owned industry, and sell off state industry as fast as possible…”. They go on to cite the drastic decreases in industrial output over the ensuing years, a nearly halving of the country’s GDP and of personal incomes, a doubling of the suicide rate, and a skyrocketing unemployment rate.[15] The Lancet [16] has recently reported that rapid privatization of the Soviet Union caused a 12.8% death rate increase among males in just two years,[17] a claim that The Economist attributed to alcoholism, though The Lancet article attributed the rise in alcoholism to changes in the economy. Canadian activist Naomi Klein argues in her 2007 book The Shock Doctrine: The Rise of Disaster Capitalism that Sachs’ Bolivian “success” is not true. In her analysis, the radical reforms pushed by Sachs were neither democratically agreed upon nor achieved without violent state repression and left the majority of Bolivians in worse circumstances.”
I think there’s an easier explanation for his recent cocerns. He’s got “creator’s remorse” for the world which he created.

I also think that the Wall Street crowd is unhappy that average Americans are adopting Wall Street values. Businessmen who strategically defaulted on commercial mortgages and used legal maneuvering to avoid pension obligations were lauded on Wall Street, which had and has contempt for average Americans’ (former) view that people and entities have a moral, as well as legal, obligation to pay their debts. Morals, we have been told for a century by Wall Street and jurists such as Benjamin Cardozo, Learned Hand, and Richard Posner, have nothing to do with business.
Now, average Americans are increasingly willing to strategically default on their mortgages and use legal maneuvering (“show me the mortgage note, please”) to avoid mortgage obligations altogether. Others see delays in the foreclosure process as an opportunity to live rent-free while saving money or spending it elsewhere in what Judge Posner would call an “efficient breach” of contract.
Many mainstream financial blogs have pointed out the hypocrisy of Wall Street bankers simultaneously (1) supporting Morgan Stanley abandoning underwater commercial real estate and (2) denouncing average Americans who abandon their underwater homes.
(An article re: Morgan Stanley’s strategic default can be found here:)

“The specter of demonstrations in Europe are not only likely to become a regular news item, but other economies have high odds of similar social stresses, a UN agency forecasts.”
Except for in the USA where the un/underemployed appear to be unusually placated.
Hell, even the crime rate has declined in USA in 2009. Apparently, the downtrodden can’t even get motivated enough to go out and mug someone or steal something.
As I’ve said previously, there must be something in the water. Maybe it is all that Prozac dumped down toilet bowls that has leeched it way back into the drinking water supplies?
Psychoanalystus October 2, 2010 at 6:44 pm
As one who spends 6 months in the USA and 6 months in Europe every year, I too have wondered if there is something with American water supply that makes people more subdued. Perhaps the overfluoridation and clorination of water supply. One thing I noticed: as soon as I get to the USA my sex drive diminishes noticeably.

“Anyone who’s been paying attention knows that on the contrary destroying all real jobs has been the intentional policy of close to 40 years now.”
What exactly do you mean by “real” jobs and to what benefit would destroying them be to anyone?
Personally, by real jobs I mean self-determined, self-managed work within a co-operative, voluntaristic order.
But for existing purposes I’d call them jobs that pay a living wage, provide decent benefits, where human working conditions prevail.
Why would the elite criminals want to destroy these jobs? Because they mean spreading the economic wealth and political power. Because they mean the producers actually keep far more of the produce of their work. Because they mean the elites are a lot less elite, the super-rich a lot less super, the powerful a lot less powerful.
Since the elites are nothing but gangsters, they want the total monopoly of ALL socially created wealth, and they want to usurp ALL the power which reposes rightfully in the people. They want their tiny handful to rule over a vast mass of penniless slaves.
That’s why they’ve been systematically destroying real jobs and job security for 40 years, through globalization, technology deployment, union-bashing, labor-hostile legislation, ideology, and propaganda.
Does this really benefit the criminals? At any rate, they think it does, in their psychopathy.
hermanas October 2, 2010 at 2:19 pm
Exactly, imagine the Washington-Wall Street “White Door Party” enjoying cocaine. The “benefit”? “they think it does, in their psychopathy.”
Yearning to Learn October 2, 2010 at 10:08 am
There is an interesting conundrum at play.
on the one hand, people will be placated so long as they have access to bare necessities. The easiest and cheapest way to do that by far is to continue welfare and other poverty assistance. Despite deficit hawk squawking, it is rather cheap.
without govt assistance we would have likely have mass riots quickly. Welfare is the glue that helps bind the haves and have-nots in our fragile society.
Ironically, the Elites (who I call the Welfare Empresses and Welfare Goddesses) seem to not understand this point and they get upset that anybody ELSE gets any pork from the government, no matter how little. So they try to undermine the very programs that are actually keeping them in power. In a twist of language they call those in poverty “welfare Queens”.
All Americans seem to really want is a place to live, some food (not matter how little nutrition is in there), some water, and some entertainment (TV, internet, and now smart phones). Lastly, they like at least a modicum of “fairness” even if that fairness doesn’t exist.
Give them that and no riots. all IMO.

Much of the above analysis is predicated on IMMISERATION – that if enough pain and suffering is inflicted on the lower/working classes that it will lead to “unrest”.
In the industrialized countries, the standard of living still allows for a good deal “dieting” before the starving masses will take to the streets, if ever. Anecdotally, when asked why he emigrated to the US, a recent immmigrant stated that it was the only country where “poor” people were fat – if perhaps malnourished! But such “dieting” would also require the agricultural sector to go on strike en masse… Is this likely in the USA, Canada, Western and Eastern Europe, Brazil, Russia, India, and China simultaneously? A situation where a FORGED consensus – an assumption that I find hard to believe – among these various elites to induce starvation would have to be agreed upon? Yes, there will likely be crop failures and famines in certain parts of the planet on occasion, but the global farm and mountains of foodstuffs will likely remain intact. Barring an ecological/genetic disaster of global proportions such a scenario isn’t likely. Those prone to conspiracy and MONSANTO/CARGILL may choose to differ.
The different histories of these national/regional entities will also influence how higher structural unemployment/underemployment plays out. I just don’t see the FASCIST beast rearing its ugly head in Europe. This is one thing most Europeans, including Russians, all agree on. Tried it once and the lesson was learned!
The demonstrations, protests, and strikes in Europe across national boundaries are suggestive of something much more fundamental. The legitimacy of the ruling elites there depends on the “prosperity” and well being of the populace and the former[elites] understand this. In China the mandate of heaven functions in a similar capacity. The ILO Report is merely a reminder of this, something that European elites are aware of already and it is never far from the minds of the communist mandarins in China.
Likewise, the role of the state in the economy is much more pronounced in other parts of world. No matter how “Americanized/Anglicized” global economic thinking may appear, the Europeans are reeling from our 40 year experiment in neoclassical free market stupidity… and not likely to forget it soon. “Laissez-faire, c’est fini!” [To quote Nicolas Sarkozy]. Europe, Japan, and the BRIC in the wall will chart their own course, influenced by this country perhaps, but increasingly without US. That’s a good thing! The American Century didn’t last long…
So, on this side of the pond where things appear a bit more bleak, there are still areas of vulnerability for American elites.
One, is the sense that American imperial hegemony and leadership is beginning to wane as new actors – BRIC – emerge on the global stage. Multipolarity and multiculturalism are forces they are going to have to learn to live with whether they like it or not. And they may not be “primus inter paribus”…
Two is their blind belief in technology. Inevitably this commitment will bring the issue of technological unemployment/underemployment into the public discourse. Likewise, anyone who works in IT/Network Communications knows how vulnerable both WE and THEY are to breakdown/shutdown. The former are much more dependent on this techonolgy for CONTROL than we are. The sitdown strikes of the 30s may have their counterpart in the random breakdown strikes of the future as the technopeasantry resorts to sabotage to disrupt the information flows vital to their CONTROL. This is a two-edged sword that cuts both ways. There are simply too many ways to thwart any given technology for good or evil.
Finally, one thing the moribund labor movement could do is use their dwindling pension funds to set up peoples’ banks that would accept savings and the like by working people – unionized or not – which would then be used to build affordable housing at reasonable rates of interest employing UNION labor – the building trades – etc. Putting ourselves back to work, if you will. SYNDICALISM!!! If ever the opportunity for doing so existed, it is now. Similar co-operative ventures could be funded by individual 401K funds pooled together that are languishing, if not evaporating. There are opportunities for change that have been created by this crisis. It’s up to us to find them.
killben October 2, 2010 at 12:12 pm
AS usual they will not dare mention that the guys who should have eaten shit were enables to transfer it to the tax-payers plate. If there is social unrest there is valid reasons for the same. Let it go ahead. When policy makers make policies which suit a certain section of society this what happens and rightly so. Get on with the social movement!! None too soon. Infact should have started in UK when Northern Bank was bailed out.
Ellen Anderson October 2, 2010 at 6:25 pm
Impressive level of discourse on this site. Wonder how many of you were philosophy majors.
I think it is likely Europe will explode with riots and strikes before the US. The Greeks especially don’t take too much BS. I think the fact that Greece is the first country where the elites are trying their most severe measures of austerity is strategic, in order to subdue the toughest ones first. The Germans, French, Italians, Romanians, British, Spanish, and Polish people will be a lot easier to subdue than the Greeks.
I think it’s safe to say that there would be much more civil unrest in America if Obama had not been elected into office. The American people had pinned their hopes on “change you can believe in” as a clear sign that the balance would begin to shift back towards fair play for all, and a government which supported the middle class.
Right now, I’d have to say most of America is rather pissed off with how things turned out which for some strange reason Obama have labelled as “irresponsible”.
But in general, Americans really don’t have the free time, money, or real civil liberties to go protest compared to Europe. They know the game is rigged, and they are screwed.
I have been saying that Obama is a trojan horse of the elites meant only to buy them more time so they could finish their ongoing work of stealing everything and anything of value still left in America. Once the government bailouts will stop, we’ll be worse off than Zimbabwe.
And that, my friends, is change you can believe in…
I cannot disagree at this point.
But it’s worth exploring why there is such a disparity between European and American activism. Some of that can be attributed to Obama’s success at crushing the left in his own party. Some of it to the effective astroturfing of the Tea Party which seems so kooky at times and so obviously bought and paid for by the ultra-conservative rich as to de-legitimize populist demonstrations.
I suspect the elites have some surprises in store. Their cynical political chess is not as predictable as the board game, and their Trojan dark horse may yet prove to be their Achilles’ heel. To underscore Glen’s point, I think people are in fact _seriously_ pissed off, just reeling from the shock and awe scale of betrayals and still getting their bearings, as seen here. There are still some on the “professional left” whose salaries depend on telling the base to suck up and buck up, but where I’ve been these are usually pounded to a bloodless pulp by commenters. Tipping points can be hard to foresee accurately, but I suspect we’re in for a doozy in 2012.

Sure all human persons will have to share in the pain and suffering. But all corporate persons won’t have to.

Contrast what is happening to us here and now with this:
As head of state, president Dilma Rousseff would outrank Angela Merkel, Germany’s Chancellor, and Hillary Clinton, the US Secretary of State: her enormous country of 200 million people is reveling in its new oil wealth. Brazil’s growth rate, rivaling China’s, is one that Europe and Washington can only envy.
Her widely predicted victory in next Sunday’s presidential poll will be greeted with delight by millions. It marks the final demolition of the “national security state“, an arrangement that conservative governments in the US and Europe once regarded as their best artifice for limiting democracy and reform. It maintained a rotten status quo that kept a vast majority in poverty in Latin America while favoring their rich friends.
Just to put this in context:
The generals seized power in 1964 and decreed a reign of terror to defend what they called “national security”. She joined secretive radical groups that saw nothing wrong with taking up arms against an illegitimate military regime. Besides cosseting the rich and crushing trade unions and the underclass, the generals censored the press, forbidding editors from leaving gaps in newspapers to show where news had been suppressed.
Anyone who has followed the saga of the destruction of civil liberties in this country can connect the dots.
Rick Halsen October 2, 2010 at 11:46 pm
Ah, you that are concerned of the when’s and why’s, don’t worry. IMO, there’ll certainly be a globally grand Black Swan event here sooner rather than later.
Everything will come into sharper HD focus on our collective fates which even the elites won’t be able to deal with or escape from.
God at times has one hell of a sense of dark humor.
That is exactly one of my main concerns in reguard to the global inequities and disparities Rick…We have no idea of knowing wher such an event mght hit hardest. All I could guess is that it is unlikely to be an event which respects the social order we know now. Therefore, al humans should be given opportunities to advance as much as possible so that not everything is lost.
I have no precience, or premonition of such an event, but like you I’m aware that they occur periodically.

Breast milk contains more than 700 species of bacteria, Spanish researchers find

Spanish researchers have traced the bacterial microbiota map in breast milk, which is often the main source of nourishment for newborns. The study has revealed a larger microbial diversity than originally thought: more than 700 species.
The breast milk received from the mother is one of the factors determining how the bacterial flora will develop in the newborn baby. However, the composition and the biological role of these bacteria in infants remain unknown.
A group of Spanish scientists have now used a technique based on massive DNA sequencing to identify the set of bacteria contained within breast milk called microbiome. Thanks to their study, pre- and postnatal variables influencing the micriobial richness of milk can now be determined.
Colostrum is the first secretion of the mammary glands after giving birth. In some of the samples taken of this liquid, more than 700 species of these microorganisms were found, which is more than originally expected by experts. The results have been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
“This is one of the first studies to document such diversity using the pyrosequencing technique (a large scale DNA sequencing determination technique) on colostrum samples on the one hand, and breast milk on the other, the latter being collected after one and six months of breastfeeding,” explain the coauthors, María Carmen Collado, researcher at the Institute of Agrochemistry and Food Technology (IATA-CSIC) and Alex Mira, researcher at the Higher Public Health Research Centre (CSISP-GVA).
The most common bacterial genera in the colostrum samples were Weissella, Leuconostoc, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus and Lactococcus. In the fluid developed between the first and sixth month of breastfeeding, bacteria typical of the oral cavity were observed, such as Veillonella, Leptotrichia and Prevotella.
“We are not yet able to determine if these bacteria colonise the mouth of the baby or whether oral bacteria of the breast-fed baby enter the breast milk and thus change its composition,” outline the authors.
The heavier the mother, the fewer the bacteria
The study also reveals that the milk of overweight mothers or those who put on more weight than recommended during pregnancy contains a lesser diversity of species.
The type of labour also affects the microbiome within the breast milk: that of mothers who underwent a planned caesarean is different and not as rich in microorganisms as that of mothers who had a vaginal birth. However, when the caesarean is unplanned (intrapartum), milk composition is very similar to that of mothers who have a vaginal birth.
These results suggest that the hormonal state of the mother at the time of labour also plays a role: “The lack of signals of physiological stress, as well as hormonal signals specific to labour, could influence the microbial composition and diversity of breast milk,” state the authors.
Help for the food industry
Given that the bacteria present in breast milk constitute one of initial instances of contact with microorganisms that colonise the infant’s digestive system, the researchers are now working to determine if their role is metabolic (it helps the breast-fed baby to digest the milk) or immune (it helps to distinguish beneficial or foreign organisms).
For the authors, the results have opened up new doors for the design of child nutrition strategies that improve health. “If the breast milk bacteria discovered in this study were important for the development of the immune system, its addition to infant formula could decrease the risk of allergies, asthma and autoimmune diseases,” conclude the authors.

R Davis says:
Well Done !!!
We fail to realise that all the medical research that today’s Western medical practice was done a century or 2 ago –
Yes, that’s right.
!00 to 200 years ago –
The research of just a few people only –
From a massive population of scholars & academics –
Was embraced as acceptable medical knowledge.
Look at Charles Darwin as an example –
Charles Darwin is famous for his Theory of Evolution –
He went to Madagascar & was gobsmacked by the vast diversity of plant & animal life & proceeded to write up his BIBLE of how it all came about.
What Charles Darwin did not wonder is – how – in such a hostile environment as Madagascar anything was alive in the first place.
He never wondered if there weren’t supernatural forces in play that caused the abundance of life & diversity represented within that life.
By supernatural forces I mean – not fairies at the bottom of the garden with a paint pot & brush –
But electromagnetic – atomic & the like energies & the conscious will of the universe to survive & flourish –
Is it possible that in the most unlikely places – life is cast to be the saving grace after the 11th hour has passed ???
Our whole understanding & practice of medicine is based on a very little portion of knowledge that was realised & even made up – so long ago.
Today we can allow ourselves to imagine that we know nothing much that is real & true about ourselves & the universe we live in.
It is all yesterdays obsolete imaginings.
No new work has been done since square one.
It is still all out there waiting to be discovered.
We have been duped by opportunistic fraudsters.
Snake Oil Salesmen –
Madagascar & The Galapagos Islands are place where we can believe – that God does exist & can make Miracles.
Interesting video article:
The Electronic Intifada – “Killing Gaza” captured culture of resistance by Max Blumenthal.
It is the Salivating Bastard that Worship’s The Sacred Almighty Buck that has held us in suspended animation –
The Self Ordained Gods of the Mortal World …
Who know how long ago we could have known who & what we really are ???
But for their intervention.
Physics holds that the universe never forgets
Therefore everything has memory
Therefore everything has conscious intelligence
Therefore nothing can be forgotten
Therefore nothing can become extince
Code of all matter is held in suspended animation till such time as it is required to fill a gap to maintain the mathematical equation of existence of all things
Physics holds the energy cannot be created or destroyed.
The Lord works in mysterious ways.
Blessed be the name of the Lord.

When Esmerine surfaced with La Lechuza in 2011, the album signaled many things: the band's first new recordings in six years, an expanded line-up, and a song cycle inspired by and dedicated to the life and untimely death of a dear friend and fellow musician. What wasn't immediately clear was whether this acclaimed record would mark the opening of a new chapter for the band, or stand alone as a singular work of eulogy and homage driven by emotion and circumstance.
Esmerine's new album Dalmak emphatically confirms that the group has indeed continued writing, exploring and collaborating - definitively extending its horizons in this new iteration of the band's trajectory. Bruce Cawdron (marimba) resigned from his seat as drummer for Godspeed You! Black Emperor in 2012, allowing him to focus more fully on Esmerine alongside co-founder and cellist Rebecca Foon (Silver Mt. Zion, Set Fire To Flames); the two principals also recruited percussionist Jamie Thompson (Unicorns, Islands) and multi-instrumentalist Brian Sanderson as full-time members to solidify the group as a writing and performing quartet.
European tours in 2011-2012 brought Esmerine to Istanbul, where the group's enthusiastic reception led to an invitation for an artist residency in the city. Dalmak is the fruit of that visit: the majority of the album was recorded in Istanbul, where the band's four Canadian musicians were joined by an equal number of Turkish guest players: Hakan Vreskala, Baran Aşık, Ali Kazim Akdağ, James Hakan Dedeoğlu on various instruments.
Dalmak is a Turkish verb with many connotations: to contemplate, to be absorbed in, to dive into, to bathe in, to rush into, to plummet. As a title for Esmerine's new album, "dalmak" refers in a literal sense to immersion in the culture and music of Istanbul but also appropriately evokes the range of music that emerged from this immersion: a collection of songs that shift between meditative pulsing and enveloping restraint to headlong flights into rhythm and groove. With Dalmak, Esmerine presents some of its most richly minimal and intimate music alongside what is surely its most explosive, energized and ornate. The album is a tour-de-force of cross-cultural music-making, emotive but unsentimental, deeply textured and detailed but never precious, superbly guided throughout by a balance of DIY rock, new folk and modern classical/contemporary sensibilities.
With initial recording by Barkin Engin and Metin Bozkurt in Istanbul, Esmerine laid down the live bed tracks for the up-tempo rhythmic songs at the album's core: "Lost River Blues", "Barn Board Fire" and "Translator's Clos". Marimba, cello, drums, tenor banjo, bass and trumpet are joined by bendir, darbuka, erbane, meh, barama, saz and electric guitar from the local players for these centerpiece tracks, where extended melodic themes are passed around and woven through staccato grooves and polyrhythmic vamps in deeply satisfying fashion. The sessions continued back in Montréal at Breakglass Studio, where Cawdron and Foon tracked the more studied cello and marimba songs "Learning To Crawl" and "White Pine", and where the album's gorgeously saturated warmth, depth and pulsing grit was achieved courtesy of Breakglass head engineer Jace Lasek (Wolf Parade, The Besnard Lakes, Suuns) and Ian Ilavsky, who mixed the album alongside Beckie and Bruce.

"['Dalmak']involves four Turkish players on everything from saz to electric guitar, with space for the haunting, duduk-like meh oboe and a ton of trad percussion. Rich textural explorations alternate with fiery melodic workouts in Turkish rhythms." – The Wire
"'Dalmak' is a Turkish verb that can mean many things – to contemplate, to become absorbed by, to dive into, to plummet – and it provides an apt title. On Dalmak, the meditative drones and shifting melodies of the Canadians’ strings and percussions are vamped up by an array of [Turkish] sounds...in a thrilling and meaningful conversation." – New Internationalist (5/5 review)
"A listen of brutal intensity and beautiful celebration...At times, melodies are plucked quietly, arcing as delicately as black eyelashes, but they never deviate from what is at the center – an intense cauldron of dynamic fire and free flowing passion." – Fluid Radio
"Lost River Blues II” explodes in an exuberant array of swaying rhythms and sinuous melodies, while the equally intense “Barn Board Fire” casts a powerful spell…" – Textura
"Esmerine’s upcoming fourth LP continues to eschew guitars for moody, often unsettling fits of dramatic movements through cello, marimba, and tenor banjo as well as imported tools that include bendir, darbuka, erbane, meh, barama and saz... A welcome and fitting return." – Decoder
"Esmerine are avidly developing a fascinating and melodic balance between cultural and musical boundaries." – Beats Per Minute
"Esmerine compositions are emotional portals for the listeners. There is significance in these songs, and the band uses their notes to convey heartfelt and deep emotion. This record is triumphant when asked, but still grounded in sadness. Nothing in my life is fused with the livelihood and beauty you find in Turkish markets or the political strife the country’s citizens face on an everyday basis, but these songs still act as a gateway into my own soul. These songs force me to think, to explore, to question. They make me want to love, to hold, to push on." – HeroHill
