Is it Possible to Write Without Insulting? I Say, IMPOSSIBLE!
Fear kept me from posting something I wrote a while back.
I finally posted the story that scared me this week.
Why Can’t You Drop Your In-Laws off at a “Safe Haven”, No Questions Asked?
I had time to think about it and well, my in-laws know me. They have known me for over twenty years. They know I tease.
I tell stories and I tease in stories I tell, (my husband Jim says I would NEVER exaggerate.) When he says, “NEVER” he looks up at the corner of the room and the word, “NEVER” doesn’t sound like the other words in the sentence.
I was not prepared for someone I am not related to, even by marriage, to take issue with my post.
It wasn’t on Word Press where I park my thoughts, but on BlogHer where I occasionally copy a post I think might be well received there. I mean, come on, this is a story about a woman complaining about her in-laws and BlogHer is supposed to be female readers, right?
Whapppow! Right to the back of my head.
A section editor over there let me have it in my comment section.
BlogHer post with BlogHer reader comments.
Here is the thing, I like this fellow bloggers style and respect her work and she has been very helpful to a newbie like me. I even respect her for calling me out on it, (I will let you click the link above to read the comment for yourself.)
Here is what I deduced and replied with…(oh yeah, all in the comment section because I am a wordy girl.)
I think Safe Haven is an amazing program. The entire concept is genius as I appreciate any government program that calls for the care of a child as an immediate priority instead of placing blame on the mother or father. I realize that everyone has their own circumstances and I try VERY, very hard to not judge as I have not walked in someone else’s shoes.
I also work very hard at having a good relationship with my in-laws and the comment was made in good fun. I would never really think anyone would think I was serious as it was simply a play on “walking in someone else’s shoes.” If someone had been walking in my shoes they would realize that I would never want anyone to think I REALLY wanted to drop my husbands parents off at a fire department. I never really would turn the porn channel on in the guest room to try and help them, “get along”. However, I have sat up late into the night trying to think of ways to help them.
I was applauding Safe Havens as being a GOOD IDEA and thinking about a world in which it could be applied to other groups that need help. If I could get a grown adult help without being judged for running out of options or lacking in the ability to help them anymore it would be great. We really have though thought that their spouse might leave them with us. I guess we are their “Safe Haven.”
I apologize if I offended you as I really think the entire Safe Haven program is great. Sometimes I think I am funny and sometimes “getting” to funny I may have inadvertently insulted someone. In this case I think we both agree that Safe Haven is a necessary program.
I also can tell you my dad in Michigan adopted me at three after my biological father signed off on custody. I can also tell you that I have very real memories of having a dad and then going to see a judge who told me that I have a “new” dad. I and am VERY aware of the ramifications of words related to adoption such as “real child” or “not really his” or “unwanted” and the list of words and phrases cut. I feel in this case, and for me, it more of a compliment on a program that I obviously feel is genius. I don’t think it is funny to write a “funny” story about REAL Safe Haven, but a fake Safe Haven to drop off your in-laws..I (still) do think is a little funny.
I joke about being anal retentive about things that don’t matter, but people really do have mental illness. I joke about being messy but there are really people who have diseases that make them hoard. I joke about having a cup holder as a bellybutton as a “birth defect”, (I give birth to double digits every time) and there are really people who have birth defects. I have the attention span of a fruit fly and I blame it on a lead pacifier that I am convinced that my parents gave me, but there are people who really have contracted lead poisoning. I tease about my poor writing skills and my inability to figure out how to use a comma, but there are people reading that have learning disabilities.
If I didn’t write things that MIGHT offend someone, I would never write anything. When I was writing this story I was only worried about offending my in-laws. Insulting anyone who has ever been touched by adoption, which is nearly everyone, had never been a worry.
I hope you understand and hope you might get to know me enough one day that you would know that hurting people is not even close to what I am about. I do admit that I find things to laugh about but that comes from waaayyyyy back. That comes from the same place that the people who like to make people laugh draw from. I kind of consider it a gift, even if I had to go around the block a bit to receive it.
End of my BlogHer response.
Then I thought, this is a post! This is something I need to share with my WordPress friends! What if they too have a bellybutton that turned into a cupholder. What if I have insulted anyone that has wiped their boogers on the walls for someone else to clean up when I lied and said there was a “Booger DNA Test” that is sold at Walgreens?
Let this be fair warning to anyone who thinks I am an evil doer. Let this also serve as a warning to everyone who thinks that I really have a TV in our guest bedroom to even turn porn on. If I put a TV in the guest bedroom my in-laws for sure would never leave!
And I bet you thought I was a terrible person for the first photo at the top of the post.
Peter was so excited to be a black panther that he asked to sleep on the deck since he knew I would say he couldn’t go to bed without washing it off first. Sometimes we just need to know the whole story or the whole person and sometimes we just need a sense of humor.
-Abbie, for all that makes you smile, laugh, think, love, cry, or cry laughing.
Why I Will Never Be Freshly Pressed
If you think you can handle me hit the “follow” button and I will explain later the booger test I mentioned, (I tweeted it but I will elaborate on “Booger-Gate” and Lord knows you don’t want to miss that when I do.)
Dear Parent’s Who Do Not Think All Americans Should Have the Same Rights,
Dear Fellow Parents in North Carolina,
Please stop asking me to “Get out and vote FOR the marriage amendment” and that “You believe marriage is between one man and one woman.”
It makes me lose respect for you. It makes me think you aren’t very intelligent. It makes me think you’re insensitive, and that you would feed my children to yours if you had to. It makes me think you will find a Bible verse to justify it. It just makes me not like you.
Here is what the voters in North Carolina are presented with this week…
Marriage Amendment 1
How is it possible that a country that was founded on the idea of religious freedom and separation of church and state be so forgetful? How can the Unites States of America, that invades other countries in the name freedom, want to discriminate against two people who want to be together but do not have the proper anatomy to be considered the “opposite sex?”
How can a sweet, southern accent, blond bob, fellow mom that has a glass of wine with me and shares stories about our funny and adorable kids spew this insanity?
How can you know your children are going to be straight or gay? How do you know that if one of you children announces in twenty years that they are in love with someone and want to share their life with them that you will be able to say “those words”, then, that you are plastering all over FaceBook, now? How can you look at your child and tell them that their love is less valuable than the love of two people who do not have the same “private parts?” How can you teach your children to love and to be “Godly” and to not judge and yet you are?
You are judging based on your religious beliefs with the same tenacity that people across the world have when they strip away the rights of people, in the name of religion. In Afghanistan women aren’t allowed to drive. I am sure you believe that is just ridiculous. The law banning female drivers is based on their religion. A religion that brought people to our great country to seek religious freedom and personal rights.
Your religion should not be dictating our laws. This is what founded this country. We believed in freedom for all. We believed to be treated equally. Why should opposite sex couples be allowed more freedoms than same-sex couples? If you don’t like it based on your religious beliefs then don’t let them get married in your church.
I cannot imagine that your loving, forgiving and accepting God would want you to judge. I don’t care what version of the Bible your reading. My God is loving. He created us and he created us all different. I refuse to deny rights to Americans because of sexual orientation and I refuse to believe that homosexuality is a choice and something you can get “help” for.
How can you say your “proud to be an American” and yet you want to take away the freedom and liberties of people who don’t live with your same religious beliefs?
I took both of these photos myself with several years between them. The old man who drives this truck with his homemade “bumper stickers” bungeed onto the back makes me proud to be an American. We can have religious differences without being condemned. I believe those religious beliefs should not get in the way of providing equality to all of our citizens.
Sincerely And With Respect,
Abbie, All that makes you…
Please feel free to repost/share this onto your FaceBook wall, Twitter… If I have to listen to everyone telling me to hate you can help me spread the word of love.

Sacred language
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Jump to: navigation, search
Part of a series on
Anthropology of religion
Devimahatmya Sanskrit MS Nepal 11c.jpg
Social and cultural anthropology
A sacred language, "holy language" (in religious context) or liturgical language is a language that is cultivated for religious reasons by people who speak another language in their daily life.
Once a language becomes associated with religious worship, its believers may ascribe virtues to the language of worship that they would not give to their native tongues.[citation needed] In the case of sacred texts, there is a fear of losing authenticity and accuracy by a translation or re-translation, and difficulties in achieving acceptance for a new version of a text. A sacred language is typically vested with a solemnity and dignity that the vernacular lacks. Consequently, the training of clergy in the use of a sacred language becomes an important cultural investment, and their use of the tongue is perceived to give them access to a body of knowledge that untrained lay people cannot (or should not) access. In medieval Europe, the (real or putative) ability to read (see also benefit of clergy) scripture—which was in Latin—was considered a prerogative of the priesthood, and a benchmark of literacy; until near the end of the period almost all who could read and write could do so in Latin.[citation needed]
In some instances, the sacred language may not even be (or have been) native to a local population, that is, missionaries or pilgrims may carry the sacred language to peoples who never spoke it, and to whom it is an altogether alien language.[citation needed]
The concept of sacred languages is distinct from that of divine languages, which are languages ascribed to the divine (i.e. God or gods) and may not necessarily be natural languages.[citation needed] The concept, as expressed by the name of a script, for example in Devanāgarī, the name of a script that means "of city of deities (/Gods)".
Mahayana Buddhism makes little use of its original language, Sanskrit. In some Japanese rituals, Chinese texts are read out or recited with the Japanese pronunciations of their constituent characters, resulting in something unintelligible in both languages.[1] In Tibetan Buddhism, Tibetan language is used, but mantras are in Sanskrit.

These include:
The vernacular was used in the rite of the Roman Liturgy only among certain Roman Rite Slavs of Croatia and Dalmatia, for example in the so-called Missale Romanum Glagolitice[1]. The particular vernacular was also used in the inquiry of bride and bridegroom as to whether they accepted their marriage-vows itself.
The Catholic Church, long before the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican ('Vatican II') accepted and promoted the use of the non-vernacular liturgical languages listed above; vernacular (i.e. modern or native) languages were never used liturgically until 1964,[citation needed] when the first permissions were given for certain parts of the Roman Liturgy to be celebrated in certain approved vernacular translations. The use of vernacular language in liturgical practice created controversy for a minority of Catholics, and opposition to liturgical vernacular is a major tenet of the Catholic Traditionalist movement.
Hinduism is traditionally considered to have two liturgical languages, Sanskrit and Tamil. Sanskrit is the language of the Vedas, Bhagavadgita, Puranas like Bhagavatham, and the Upanishads, and various other liturgical texts such as the Sahasranama, Chamakam and Rudram. It is also the tongue of most Hindu rituals.
Tamil is the language of the 12 Tirumurais (which consists of the great devotional hymns of Tevaram, Tiruvacakam etc.,) and the Naalaayira Divya Prabhandham (considered to be the essence of the Vedas, in Tamil, and all in praise of Lord Vishnu). These devotional hymns, which were sung in almost every Shiva and Vishnu temple of the South India, the then Tamil country and even North Indian temples like Badrinath Temple, are considered to be the basis for the Bhakti movement.[3]
The people following Kaumaram, Vainavam, Shaivam sects of South India and use Tamil as liturgical language along with Sanskrit. Divya Prabandha is chanted in most of the South Indian Vishnu temples like Tirupati.Indian literature . Dravidian people considered their language Tamil to be sacred and divine with equal status to Sanskrit within temple rituals, which is still being followed even by some temples in present day non-Tamil speaking areas. The divya prabhandams and Devarams are referred to as Dravida Vedam (Tamil Veda).
A long-standing myth states that Sanskrit and Tamil emerged from either side of Lord Shiva's divine drum of creation as he danced the dance of creation as Nataraja or sound of cosmic force.
Classical Arabic is the sacred language of Islam. It is the language of the Qur'an, and the native language of Muhammad. Like Latin in medieval Europe, Arabic is both the spoken and the liturgical language in the Arab World. Some minor Muslim affiliates, particularly the Nizaris of Khorasan and Badakhshan, witnessed and experienced Persian as a liturgical language during the Alamut period (1094 to 1256 CE) and post-Alamut period (1256 to present).[citation needed]
The spread of Islam throughout Maritime Southeast Asia witnessed and experienced Malay as a liturgical language.[citation needed]
The core of the Tanakh (the Hebrew Bible) is written in Biblical Hebrew, referred to by some Jews as Leshon Ha-Kodesh (לשון הקודש), "The Holy Language". Hebrew (and, in the case of a few texts such as the Kaddish, Aramaic) remains the traditional language of Jewish religious services, although its usage today varies by denomination: Orthodox services are almost entirely in Hebrew, Reform services make more use of the national language and only use Hebrew for a few prayers and hymns, and Conservative services usually fall somewhere in-between. Rabbinic Hebrew and Aramaic are used extensively by the Orthodox for writing religious texts. Among many segments of the Ultra-Orthodox, Yiddish, although not used in liturgy, is used for religious purposes, such as for Torah study.
The Donmeh, the descendants of Sephardic followers of Sabbatai Tsevi who converted to Islam, used Judeo-Spanish in some of their prayers, but this seems limited nowadays to the older generations.[citation needed]
Kannada is the language of Lingayatism. Most of the literature of this Shaivite tradition is in Kannada, but some literature is also found in Telugu and Sanskrit.[citation needed]

Xerox Toner Refill Kit
Don't you get sick of big companies banging their stupid stick on your head?
Treating us like ingrates with nothing more than a primary education. It still perplexes me that companies have not found the true profit in reaming loyal and caring to their consumers.
Well some companies continue to badge us, and luckily, the human race is intelligent enough to realize money and learn how to avoid some of the stupid stick.
Never pay Full Price! Get Inkjet Cartridges HALF OFF here!
One such example is with a Xerox toner refill kit.
A printer costs $100 for a semi decent one - possibly lower with a rebate. Then when it is time that your cartridge wear out to purchase new ones, you find it costs around $50 for two tiny thinks of pigment.
It most certainly does not cost what they charge. That is why people have found a way around it with Xerox toner refill kit and other types of kits.
These large companies charge little amounts to gain a large consumer base and make their profits in the ink alone and other accessories.
Why pay full price? Get up to 75% OFF Inkjet Cartridges!
Well for $20 you can get a kit to refill your cartridges for about 5 times. That means it only costs you $20 plus your time to refill them versus around $250 to buy them in the store for the same exact thing.
Don't get mad, get even. Companies need to take a direct or honest approach to business. Charge upfront the total costs with possible financing options to help those who can't. Then leave the consumer alone, don't try to cheat more money out of them. Keep them as loyal companions and give them all. T
his way they will continue to purchase from you, and their kids, their companies and so forth. If you continue the way the business world is going, your company will fade just as AT&T, SEGA, and other name brands have slowly become extinct.
Up to 75% OFF. INK, INK, INK. SAVE NOW! Limited time ONLY.

Freeze Drying
Freeze Drying
When you reach for one of our sachets, know you will be consuming freeze-dried fruit & veg.
The initial question that usually comes up is: what exactly is freeze-drying?
Simply put, freeze-drying is a water removal process that preserves perishable materials - in our case fruits & veg. The product is firstly flash-frozen at an ultra-low temperature (around -30°C), then placed in a vacuum. The low pressure in the vacuum along with the heat, sublimes it. Finally, everything is ground and blended into the powder that you find inside our sachets.
Fun fact: NASA funded research for freeze-drying technology because it offered better nutrition to astronauts while in space.
Wait. But am I still getting the nutrients that I need from freeze-dried fruit?
Yes! Freeze-drying maintains close to the same nutrients and nearly the same structure as its original state. This is because when freeze-dried, food transitions from a fresh to a frozen state in a few seconds, locking in vitamins and nutrients and ensuring that they are preserved. Indeed, freeze-drying preserves 97% of its nutrients, which is a much higher percentage than dehydrated fruit, for example, which only maintains 60% of its nutrients after dehydration. Moreover, the shelf life of freeze-dried produce ranges from 10-25 years, while dehydrated produce only lasts 1-4 years. The lower the moisture content, the longer the shelf life!
Yes, the unmatched shelf-life is amazing. But let’s also think about food waste for a minute. Those farm 'seconds' considered too unattractive to be sold in supermarkets, and are often thrown away before they even leave the farm. Freeze-drying is a valuable alternative to tossing ugly produce, that could save billions of dollars worth of wasted produce in different countries across the globe.
Not only that, freeze-drying significantly reduces the weight of the fruit, making it easy and convenient for you to carry your daily nutrients in your pocket.
All you need to do is pour the sachet content into water, shake, and SYP!

What are SUTA or SUI Cutoff’s and Does My PEO Recognize?
SUTA (state unemployment tax assessment) or SUI (state unemployment insurance) is charged by every State to businesses to cover unemployment claims. Every business is rated on their claims and given a base rate that they must pay to stay out of legal hot water with their State.
But, what are cutoff’s? Once you have paid a particular employee a certain amount of pay over the course of the year, the SUTA is cutoff. For example, in the State of California, once you have paid an employee $7,000 in one year, you no longer have to pay unemployment taxes on that employee. The cutoff point varies from State to State.
How does a PEO handle this? It varies from PEO to PEO. Some honor cutoffs…some ignore them entirely. Others smooth out your SUTA rate over the year. So you may see a SUTA rate billed at a fraction of what you would normally expect…but it is likely that you will continue to pay that rate for the full year.
You should check with your PEO or HR Outsourcing provider to see how they handle cutoffs.
California (or other) State Workers Comp Funds
Moving to an HR outsourcing company, particularly a PEO (professional employer organization) can have tremendous benefits when dealing with workers compensation insurance as it pertains to State-sponsored funds. One major state-sponsored fund, the California State Fund, will be seeing a large increase in rates in the coming months. There is a great opportunity for all businesses to reevaluate that relationship to see if there is a better way of doing business.
How can PEO’s help these businesses? By getting you out of the fund entirely and partnering with the PEO and placing your risk (employees) on their books.
From our experience we have seen discounts on workers comp by as much as 50 percent. In addition, the comp coverage becomes a pay-as-you-go solution, freeing up your cash flow.

What You Need to Know About : Empathy
Empathy means to feel into another person’s biological processes, perceptions, emotional states, and their kinds and forms of consciousness in order to assess their feelings. Further, empathy means not only assessing another’s affective communication, but using one’s assessments in order to be eventually helpful to another person’s communication development. Empathy also means having a purpose to help others with their struggles, their problems, their goals, and so forth. The purpose of practicing empathy is to improve communication between people. Empathy is natural and basic to decent and respectful human communication altogether. Empathy is central to improving human communication in that it helps to develop trust, predictability, and friendlier and more open communication between people. The nature of empathic sharing, a brief history of the study of empathy, and empathic processes will be the focus of this entry.

Terror in Woolwich: One woman was crying - ‘They killed him. They killed him’
Dazed residents are still coming to terms with the shocking scenes they witnessed
The residents who gathered around the scene of the barbaric attack in Woolwich this afternoon struggled to articulate their horror.
Some described this part of south-east London as a peaceful and quiet place, while others said there was “always trouble”. All were stunned by the cruelty that had bloodied their streets.
Olu Peluola, 53, was one of the people who saw the sickening scene unfold. “I saw a man’s body lying in the street. There was a man standing beside him holding a knife,” he said. “People were standing around. One woman was crying, saying ‘They killed him. They killed him.’”
Astonishingly, the suspected killers stood around after the alleged attack, asking passers-by to film their statements. Witnesses described how local women risked their own lives in attempt to shield the soldier victim from further indignities.
“In my opinion, they were waiting for the police to arrive to be shot by the police. That’s the only thing I can think,” one witness called James told LBC radio.
Julia Wilders, 51, who lives near the scene, said she saw one of the attackers run towards police clutching two meat cleavers when officers eventually arrived.
By mid-afternoon the ambulance crews had arrived in force and detectives had locked off the area surrounding the incident with layer after layer of cordons.
The sound of police helicopters filled the skies overhead as those living nearby looked on helplessly and the few who had witnessed the terrible crime tried to make sense of the terror they had seen.
Sherifah William, 29, who lives right next to where the killings happened, told how she initially feared there had been a shooting at the primary school nearby that her children attend.
Waiting with her neighbours outside the police cordon, the 29-year-old said: “When I saw the air ambulance I panicked because it landed first at the school, so I thought something had happened there.
“My neighbour called me to say there had been a shooting so I ran out to get my kids and then the police shouted to get back. I saw the body being taken away – there were so many ambulances.”
Woolwich was traditionally a white, working-class area, famous for its shipping docks and military barracks.
But over the years it has become a popular place for immigrant communities settling in Britain.
And most recently the area started on the path to “gentrification” with former factories turned into £1m luxury apartments.
Woolwich Royal Artillery Barracks has been part of the area’s history for more than 200 years and last year it hit the headlines when the prestigious King’s Troops regiment transferred there.
Robert, 65, who has resided in Woolwich for over 30 years, lives a stone’s throw from where the killings happened in Charles Grimling Walk.
He said: “It’s peaceful around here, so what’s happened is a very strange occurrence – you just can’t get your head around it.
“I’d say it’s mainly decent, working class people living here. There are lots of different cultures but we all seem to get along well. And there’s no more crime than there is in any other part of London.”
But a mother-of-one, Naomi, 27, who lives with her partner and baby in flats just yards from where the incident, painted a somewhat different picture of Woolwich. She said: “Our flat has been evacuated. I’m worried because I live adjacent to where it happened and who’s unwell. Woolwich is known for trouble.
“A lot of shootings happen near to the station and Woolwich Arsenal.”
Tributes paid to brave public
Tributes were paid last night to the courageous actions of members of the public who attempted to shield the soldier’s body from further attack.
Keith Vaz MP, the Labour chairman of the Home Affairs select committee, said: “It shows the spirit of London that people are just not prepared to allow an attack of this kind.” Patrick Mercer, Tory MP for Newark, added: “This is courage of the highest order.”
Sam Masters
Eyewitness: One man’s version
A Twitter user called Boya Dee posted a series of tweets purporting to make up a terrifying eyewitness account of the incident. They could not be confirmed nor was he available for comment. He wrote:
“Mate ive seen alot of s*** im my time but that has to rank sumwhere in the top 3. I couldnt believe my eyes. That was some movie s***.”
“People were asking whyyy whyyy they were just saying we’ve had enough! They looked like they were on sutn! Then they start waving a revolver”
“Then the next breda try buss off the rusty 45 and it just backfires and blows mans finger clean off... Feds didnt pet to just take him out!!”

Maid service was once thought of as a luxury. In the days of one-income households with two adults, it was simple for one person to do the cleaning while home and for the other person to work outside of the house. Now, two-income households are becoming the norm. That means that there’s no one around to clean your house. You could clean it when you get off work or on the weekends, but that leaves little time for anything but work and unpaid work. Instead, many people are turning to house cleaners. It’s an added expense, but how much does it actually cost?
Square Footage or Time
Maids tend to charge either hourly or by the square footage. If you can choose, then you should weigh your options. Charging by the hour is probably best for homes that are fairly large. If you home is large, it’s entirely possible that the job could still go fairly quickly. The housekeeper might move from room to room fairly efficiently. If you were charged by square footage, you might be charged for rooms that don’t necessarily need cleaning.
However, if your home is fairly small, charging by square footage is useful. It allows you to anticipate exactly how much the job will cost. Typically, house cleaners charge between $50 and $90 per hour. They charge about $90 for 1000 square feet and $250 for more than $3000.
Repeat Business
If you schedule your maid to come at a certain time each month, you can likely save some money on the cost. That’s because they will be able to estimate better how long it will take them and give you a more accurate estimate. Furthermore, things that typically don’t get dirty in only a few weeks will still be clean. That will speed up the cleaning process. The maids know that; thus, they charge less for repeat cleanings. Typically, customers save between $5 and $15 for repeat cleanings.
So, what does all of that mean for you? On average, cleaning an apartment costs customers about $100 per cleaning. That will be slightly lower for repeat customers. Cleaning a single family home costs about $130. A business costs about $150. Multi-family homes, large businesses, or large homes will cost you slightly more.
A one-time cleaning, such as for a party or an open house, will be a deeper clean. It generally costs between $200 and $300 for a single family home.

What is the future of mouse-based research? Will researchers still be using them 10 or 15 years from today?
The mouse model will most likely be as important in 10-15 years as it is today:
Genome editing technologies, such as CRISPR/Cas9, have enabled faster, less expensive and more reliable methods of transgenic manipulation of the mouse genome, which could allow innovative experiments to be conducted.
Non-animal models are improving, but it is likely there will be a continued need to study treatments in the whole animal.
Mouse models, including humanized mice, will likely continue to be a valuable tool in personalized medicine (e.g., PDX, avatars).

In Evil Long I Took Delight #2
Monday, February 9, 2015
“But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ” (Philippians 3:7 KJV).
The second verse of John Newton’s classic 1779 hymn “In Evil Long I Took Delight” highlights today’s Scripture.
“I saw One hanging on a tree,
In agony and blood,
Who fixed His languid eyes on me,
As near His cross I stood.”
Saul of Tarsus, a proud, self-righteous religionist “verily thought with [himself], that [he] ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth” (Acts 26:9). He saw Jesus as an imposter, a blasphemer. Figuring that he was doing JEHOVAH a favor by putting all those Jesus-lovers to death, Saul decided that all of His followers had to be punished! Yes, so infatuated with his religion, he was willing to physically eliminate “competition” at whatever the cost.
One of the most learned Mosaic scholars of his day, Saul had it all—religion, education, fame, and fortune. The context of today’s Scripture describes him perfectly: “[4]… If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he might trust in the flesh, I more: [5] Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews; as touching the law, a Pharisee; [6] Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; touching the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.”
Outside of Damascus’ city gates, Saul lost it all (or, rather, he realized he was destitute of what really mattered!). He heard JEHOVAH speak to him audibly, “Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? I am Jesus whom thou persecutest” (Acts 9:4,5). Imagine how overwhelming the shock was—the God he thought he was serving was the Jesus he was persecuting! It was in today’s Scripture that he remembered these events of all those years ago (over 30, actually). He gained it all in religion only to lose it all in Christ—he lost his religious “goodness” and gained Jesus Christ’s righteousness by faith! In that doctrine revealed to him, he saw and trusted the efficacy of Christ’s finished crosswork as total payment for his sins. Saul of Tarsus took his eyes off of himself and looked to Jesus….

Where Dad had to work, my people could not find any place in the new town that suited them so for almost a year, we rented a farm outside the Dorval Québec backpage escorts advice. A farm!

Our Intent, Implementation and Impact
Intent: Our purpose and ambition
“One language sets you on a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way.” Frank Smith.
The intent of the MFL department is that all our language learners develop into confident and articulate “world citizens” who consider themselves a part of a multicultural and mutually respectful society. We seek to ensure that all our students acquire the educational and cultural capital to which all children are entitled. It is our intent to ensure that our curriculum is challenging and inspiring for all students so as to push them academically and we aim to ensure that teaching and learning is rooted in the science of learning. Finally, we want our pupils to have a love of languages and culture and make sure they realise the endless possibilities and opportunities that having a second (or third, or fourth!) language can bring.
Implementation: Design, Pedagogy and Assessment
The department has put thought and consideration into the order that topics (and lessons within each topic) are taught within each key stage. Knowledge is delivered and accumulated in a logical, cumulative progression.
Building Blocks
Key vocabulary and recurring grammatical points are identified within each curriculum and built upon.
All lessons are delivered using the TEEP cycle and the underpinning elements of good instruction. The latest research and principles that form part of the science of learning are bolted on to this model.
Retrieval Practice
Students are given the opportunity to revisit content. Interleaving is used. Retrieval practice is encouraged through progress quizzes and low stakes quizzes and knowledge organisers also assist students.
Differentiation & Challenge
All students are challenged in each and lesson. Differentiation takes place in every lesson through the use of knowledge organisers and difficult concepts are broken down, scaffolded and modelled.
Assessment & Feedback
Assessment is clearly focused and varies depending on purpose. Assessments are planned to ensure high validity and reliability. They feedback into teaching where appropriate. Feedback is focused.
Literacy & Numeracy
Cultural Capital and SMSC
Opportunities are planned for within all schemes of work for students to advance their cultural and social capital and develop as individuals on a spiritual and moral level. This is explicit to students.
Linking Curriculum to Careers
Where possible, we aim to provide opportunities for pupils to understand how having a language can impact your future career choices.
IMPACT: Attainment, Progress, Knowledge, Skills and Destinations
The impact of our curriculum will be assessed each year using the different types of data available to us. This data will include exams results analysis, examiners reports, emerging research, QA, student voice and staff voice. We also seek to collaborate with colleagues from different centres and keep up to date with the latest studies and contemporary events linked to our subjects. The acquisition of knowledge should be modelled for students by staff.

Home / HBD / Origins of Northwest European Guilt Culture. Part II
Origins of Northwest European Guilt Culture. Part II
At different times and in different regions, humans have entered larger social environments that are no longer limited to close kin. Because there is less interaction with any one person and more interaction with non-kin, correct behavior can no longer be enforced by the to and fro of family relationships. A moral code develops, with rules enforced by ostracism and shaming.
In Northwest Europe, the moral code is also enforced by guilt—a form of self-shaming where the wrongdoer inflicts self-punishment even when he or she is the sole witness to the wrongdoing. There is also a high degree of empathy; the wrongdoer literally feels the pain of the person who has been wronged.
When did this guilt culture emerge? Historians usually link it to the rise of Protestantism, the expansion of the market economy, and the emancipation of the individual from the kin group, all of which happened—or are said to have happened—over the last thousand years. Yet there is compelling evidence for an earlier time frame. At the dawn of history, the peoples along the North Sea and the Baltic already had relatively loose kinship ties, a tendency toward prolonged celibacy, and a high level of circulation of non-kin individuals between households.
This behavioral package would enable them to exploit the potential of later historical developments, particularly the rise of the market economy. Back then, however, its usefulness was far from obvious. The future seemed to belong to other peoples, and not to these barbarians on the edge of the known world.
So how did this package come into being so long before modernity? And why? At first, I thought the cause was the introduction of agriculture to Northwest Europe. Only farming can create a population density that is high enough for people to enlarge their circle of interaction beyond that of close kin. Previously, there was only hunting and gathering, and hunter-gatherers were just small bands of closely related individuals. That kind of social setting has little need for either shame or guilt, a good example being the Inuit of northern Canada:
That is, in the past, the individual was expected and encouraged to do what he wanted, and thus had little guilt over most acts. In fact, there was so little censure, overtly, that one could do whatever one could get away with. But there was always the shame — concern with what people would think. What guilt existed was very archaic and related to oral incorporation and “bad mother” fears. Taboo-breaking was always a problem but at least one was not “guilty,” but simply inappropriate in his acts. That is, one had to suffer the shame of exposing one’s inappropriate acts to the spirits as one’s inappropriate social acts would be noted and subtly censured by friends. (Hippler, 1973)
In these simple societies, “guilt” was little more than fear of retaliation, either from living people or from spirits. In both cases, there was no real empathy with the person who had been wronged. Mental anguish was produced by fear and not by any feeling of the other person’s pain.
The first complex societies of Northwest Europe
I was therefore surprised to learn that the first complex societies of Northwest Europe were hunter-gatherers, or rather hunter-fisher-gatherers:
The societies of the last hunters (and fishers and gatherers) of northern Europe appear to have evolved quickly toward increasing complexity in the period prior to the spread of agriculture. Complexity is defined by greater diversity (more things) and integration (more connections). Advances in technology, settlement, and subsistence are preserved in the archaeological record. During this period technology developed toward greater efficiency in transport, tools, and food procurement. Settlements were generally larger, more enduring, and more differentiated in the Mesolithic than in the preceding Paleolithic. Food procurement was both more specialized and more diversified-specialized in terms of the technology and organization of foraging activities, and diversified in terms of the numbers and kinds of species and habitats exploited. (Price, 1991)
We like to see hunter-gatherers as beautiful losers who were steamrollered out of existence by much savvier and more numerous farming peoples. In reality, from around 8,500 BP, these hunter-fisher-gatherers of the North Sea and the Baltic began to achieve ever higher levels of population density and social complexity that would put them on a par with farming peoples farther south. They were thus able to stop the advance of farming for two to three thousand years:
After a rapid spread across Central Europe, […] farming communities came to a halt in the North European Plain, leaving the coastal areas of the North Sea occupied by hunter-gatherers. […]
This could not have been due to ecological conditions. The frontier extends across a uniform geographical area, and the soils of southern Scandinavia are, in many places, light, fertile, and favorable for cultivation […]. The reason for the delay must be sought in the late Mesolithic communities of the region. Although regional differences exist […], hunter-gatherers in the southern Baltic region are likely to have had a greater population density than central European foragers […], larger and more permanent settlements […], and a complex economic pattern involving specialized extraction camps, seasonal scheduling, and seasonally intensive use of specific resources […] (Zvelebil and Dolukhanov, 1991)
These North Sea and Baltic peoples were semi-sedentary. Most of them lived from spring to fall in large coastal agglomerations where they fished, sealed, and collected shellfish. They then dispersed to small inland hunting stations (Price, 1991). Johansen (2006) has argued for a higher degree of mobility: “a number of small groups rotating between sites on a seasonal basis within a confined territory, but perhaps periodically aggregating at key localities.” Bang-Andersen (1996) states: “In certain areas such as the seaboard of central West Norway, particularly resource-rich marine and terrestrial environments may have made it possible to stay within restricted parts of the region all the year round on a diffuse sedentary basis.” Most areas, however, had “a permanent or semi-permanent base camp on the coast, a certain number of extended extraction sites for seasonal hunting, gathering and fishing activities, a larger amount of transitory sites, and an almost indefinite number of special purpose sites or single-activity loci.”
It was in the coastal agglomerations that Northwest Europeans began to develop social relations in a setting where most people were not close kin. Unlike farming communities, there seems to have been a continual demographic turnover, with people spending part of the year in small bands and then regrouping in much larger settlements. It was perhaps this fluid environment that made guilt more effective than shame, since shaming works to the extent that one continues to interact with those who have witnessed the shameful act.
But this raises another question. How did guilt become so dominant within these populations? What is to stop some individuals from exploiting the guilt proneness of others while feeling no guilt themselves? This free-rider dilemma may have been resolved in part by identifying such individuals and ostracizing them. It may also be that these semi-sedentary communities were conducive to evolution of altruistic behavior, as described by Maynard Smith’s haystack model (Wikipedia, 2013). According to this model, guilt-prone individuals are at a disadvantage within any one community and will thus become fewer and fewer with each generation. If, however, a community has a high proportion of guilt-prone individuals, it will have an advantage over other communities and thus expand in numbers at their expense. And if these communities disperse and regroup on a regular basis, the overall proportion of guilt-prone individuals will increase over time.
History is not always what we think it to be. This is not just because of bad data. There is also the way we imagine the stages of human progress, i.e., hunting and gathering, farming and, finally, modern industrial society. Each stage led to the next, and it was ultimately farming that prepared us for the modern world.
In reality, it was the hunter-fisher-gatherers of the North Sea and the Baltic who led the way to behavioral modernity, i.e., individualism, reduced emphasis on kinship, and the market as the main organizing principle of social and economic life. Their mode of subsistence was not wiped out by agriculture, unless one sees fishing as a kind of farming. They not only survived, but also went on to create what we now call the Western World. Not bad for a bunch of losers.
In a post, hbd* chick (2013) has shown how these societies were the locomotive of sustained economic growth within Europe long before Europeans began to expand their trade to Africa and the New World. She quotes a study by Greer (2013):
We can go farther back to the steady expansion of North Sea trade from the 7th century onward (Callmer, 2002). There were external influences here and there, but most of this growth seems to have been endogenous, the main external influence being an international context that made trade more and more profitable. The rest—mindset, behavior, culture—was locally supplied.

A few thoughts on Voyages of Discovery
Before I get too distracted by other things, it's worth a minute or two to contemplate the Voyages of Discovery event, which ran last weekend.
Overall, the event was a solid success, IMO. The classes were diverse, and many of them fascinating. Among my favorites, I wound up in "Where/when medieval Jews fought" kind of by accident (I was the designated techie for it), but it turned out to be a really remarkable piece of scholarship: Lord Gideon has spent years collating a lot of what we know about the context of Jewish life in period, broken down by region and time, and uses that to quite effectively demolish the common assumption that Jews weren't part of armored combat in period. The most fun class was probably Naomi's "From Underwear to Gutenberg: the Rise of Moveable Type Printing": the second half of the class, in particular, is an experimental-archaeology exploration of why ink-making was considered such a dangerous profession in period; the photos of her experiments illustrate why quite vividly. (The word "conflagration" comes to mind.)
This was probably the most "un-event" event I've ever been to, but I think made a fine case that we should do stuff like this. It was resolutely modern in all its trappings: the lack of garb made that point, but it was really driven home by the burritos for lunch. And the thing is, by not *pretending* to be period, it let everyone be meta without worrying about it so much. I mean, at a typical "A&S" event, there's always this nagging sense that talking about period is so very not being *in* period; as a result, our displays often contribute to the "costumed cocktail party" effect. By having a not-in-garb event (technically a demo, to stay within the rules), we can talk frankly without that feeling of wrongness. By allowing ourselves such a very out-of-period space as an outlet for meta-discussion, I'd like to believe that we let ourselves be *in* period a little bit more at events.
Of course, I also came away from it going, "we *really* need to do Carolingian University one of these days", since the two events are lovely counterpoints to each other. But in and of itself, Voyages was an excellent and successful experiment, and probably deserves to be repeated periodically. My congratulations to the organizers...

I read your post not long before bedtime, and my first thought was "we should organize that while Caleb is still around." He wouldn't be able to attend in person, so then we started wondering whether such an event could be attended by Skype. I have minimal technical knowledge - how does live streaming work? Could one disguise the necessary equipment (presumably that wouldn't be the biggest problem)?
I spent some time lying awake, trying to think what it would take to organize an event on fairly short notice, and reminding myself that we couldn't make it be what it was, anyway. Patri is gone, Gyrth is gone, Marian is gone, and there is no way Harvard would let a student group have most of Memorial Hall (including Saunders Theater!) for cheap. Went back to sleep, woke up with "Gaudeamus Igitur" as an earworm.

What are Kinetic Creatures?
How big are they?
Bigger than a bread box. Here are the dimensions:
Elly the Elephant is 11.5" tall x 15" long
Rory the Rhino is 9.5" tall x 15.5" long
Geno the Giraffe is 21.5" tall x 18" long
Can they walk on their own?
Why yes, our Motor Kit allows the animals to be powered by a small electric motor and laser-cut wooden gears. The creature’s insides are also an open platform for mechanical and electrical additions.

Cough Remedies for Babies and Toddlers
Medically Reviewed by Renee A. Alli, MD on January 20, 2020
When you have a cough or cold, you might reach for over-the-counter (OTC) drugs to ease your symptoms. But you can't do that for babies or toddlers. Cough and cold medicines that are safe for grownups can cause serious side effects -- even life-threatening ones -- in children under age 2.
If your baby or toddler is sniffling or coughing, try these methods. They’re all drug-free and safe for the tiniest of patients:
Try Saline Drops
When your child's nose is stuffy, they may have trouble breathing, sleeping, and eating. Saline nasal drops can thin the mucus in their nose and shrink swollen airways. Use them two or three times per day; any more often could make their nose sore. Nasal saline gel can be used to calm congestion.
Saline drops may make it easier to remove mucus from your child's nose. For babies, try a suction bulb or nasal aspirator. If your toddler can blow their nose with your help, give that a try.
Increase Fluids
When your child isn't feeling well, give more drinks than usual. Extra fluids can thin out their mucus so their nose won't be as stuffy and they’ll cough up all that gunk more easily.
Most drinks, like water, juice, and milk, are fine. Warm liquids like chicken soup, or apple juice can soothe a sore throat. Be sure they’re warm, not hot, to avoid burns. You can also offer an oral rehydration solution such as Pedialyte, or popsicles.
Give a Little Honey
It soothes sore throats and eases coughs. It may even work better for children than OTC cough medicines. Give your child 1/2 teaspoon of honey before bedtime. But never give it to a child less than a year old. It can make them very ill.
Raise Baby's Head
Have you ever slept with extra pillows when you had a stuffy nose to breathe more easily? This trick works for babies, too. Simply place a pillow or folded towel under the head of your baby's mattress to create a slight angle. This will raise their head safely and help them to breathe.
Use a Humidifier
Moisture in the air makes it easier to breathe, so run a humidifier in your child's bedroom at night. Cool-mist models are safer than those that produce steam. Follow cleaning instructions on the device to prevent mold.
Lower Fevers
Some colds and coughs come with a slight fever. If your baby or toddler has a fever, follow these steps:
• Babies under 1 month: Call your pediatrician. Fever isn’t normal.
• Babies under 3 months: Call the doctor for advice.
• Babies 3 to 6 months: Give acetaminophen every 4 to 6 hours as needed. Follow dosage guidelines closely, and only use the syringe that came with the medicine, not a household spoon.
• Babies 6 months or older and toddlers: Give acetaminophen every 4 to 6 hours or ibuprofen every 6 to 8 hours. Don't give both drugs at the same time.
Serve Easy-to-swallow Foods
Babies and toddlers with scratchy, sore throats often don't want to eat because it hurts to swallow. Feed them foods that go down more easily.
Toddlers and babies who eat solids may prefer soft, smooth foods. Try ice cream, ice pops, flavored gelatin, pudding, yogurt, or applesauce. If they prefer warmer foods, try chicken broth or freshly made pudding. Babies 6 months and younger should stick with breast milk or baby formula.
These are just a few easy ways to soothe your little one’s cough or cold. Try them instead of over-the-counter medicines. They’ll be feeling better in no time.

Upcoming bastardry
No Shame Theatre is this Saturday at 10. I should probably be sleeping off Brewgrass at that point and making sure I'm in some condition to watch David Byrne the next day, but it's very tempting to either write something truly drunk-inspired and turn it in for other people to act out, or sing a song from my one-man Fringe show in the making, or just do some barely conscious stand-up. The piece I'd really like to do from the Fringe show would take longer than five minutes.
YouTubey goodness soon...

Challenge #01548-D087: The Good Word
We all know "Abracadabra," or, "Hocus Pocus," and sometimes, "Just Like That! Just Like That!" Then of course there's, "Please," "Excuse Me," and, "Thank You," which might stop you getting hit by someone. -- Knitnan
There was one door in the Vault that had not been opened. The SPOEns had been at it for almost a year. And it wasn't often that Shayde took her Ambassadorial Yacht anywhere at all, because she didn't like to travel without Rael by her side. And Rael... didn't like to travel. This was obviously a special occasion.
The vault had a series of locks that only "a child of the 20th century" would be able to open. The SPOEns may know a lot of history and, for a change, be more than helpful... but Shayde had lived a part of it. Nobody else could know that time as intimately as she did. The particular lock required a live, human voice. And the answer to one question.
What is the magic word?

The code is still in rough shape, but while we're on the topic of guest agents
I wanted to put out a working example of how exec functionality can be added
to qemu-ga to provide a mechansim for building arbitrarilly high-level
The hope is that by allowing qemu-ga to execute commands in the guest, paired
with file read/write access, we can instrument a guest "on the fly" to support
any type of hyperviser functionality, and do so without dramatically enlarging
the role qemu-ga plays as a small, QEMU-specific agent that is tightly
integrated with QEMU/QMP/libvirt.
These patches add the following interfaces:
The guest-file-open-pipe interface is analagous to the existing guest-file-open
interface (it might be best to roll it into it actually): it returns a handle
that can be handled via the existing guest-file-{read,write,flush,close}
interface. Internally it creates a FIFO pair that we can use to associate
handles to the stdin/stdout/stderr of a guest-exec spawned process. We can also
also use them to redirect output into other processes, giving us the basic
tools to build a basic shell (or a full-blown one if we add TTY support) using
a single qemu-ga.
Theoretically we can even deploy other agents, including session-level agents,
and communicate with them via these same handles. Thus, ovirt could deploy and
run an agent via qemu-ga, Spice could deploy vdagent, etc. Since the interface
is somewhat tedious, I'm working on a wrapper script to try out some of
these scenarios, but a basic use case using the raw QMP interface is included
Any thoughts/comments on this approach are appreciated.
EXAMPLE USAGE (execute `top -b -n1`):
{'execute': 'guest-file-open-pipe'}
{'return': 6}
{'execute': 'guest-exec', \
'arguments': {'detach': True, \
'handle_stdout': 6, \
'params': [{'param': '-b'}, \
{'param': '-n1'}], \
'path': 'top'}}
This feels like a rather verbose way of specifying
the ARGV. Why not just allow
{'execute': 'guest-exec', \
'arguments': {'detach': True, \
'handle_stdout': 6, \
'params': ['-b', '-n1'], \
'path': 'top'}}
Or even
{'execute': 'guest-exec', \
'arguments': {'detach': True, \
'handle_stdout': 6, \
'argv': ['top', '-b', '-n1']}} \
Agreed, this would look way nicer and is what I was shooting for initially. Unfortunately, the QAPI-generated QMP marshalling code, and the visitor interfaces it uses, expects lists to be of structured types. We might be able to special-case it for int and char* arrays though and open-code it though...
The problem I ran into when I looked at it though is that the QMP request is a QObject at that point that's contained inside a Visitor. So to manipulate it we'd have to extract the QList and manipulate it outside the visitor, which would be difficult since the Visitor is using a stack to manage it's traversal of the QObject based on the visitor calls we make, so it's difficult to pull it out of there...
Although, maybe we could just add a qmp_input_vistor_stack_top() that gives us the top of the stack, then call it at the appropriate point in the marshalling code and key into it to get qobj{'argv'} and whatnot. It's kinda hacky, but it's QMP-specific, and useful, so it might be worth it.
Alternatively, we could introduce another Visitor interface for handling lists of int64_t and char*.
So maybe it's not so bad, I'll look into it more.
and just use the first element of argv as the binary to
execute. Also you might need to set env variables for
some tools, so we'd want
{'execute': 'guest-exec', \
'arguments': {'detach': True, \
'handle_stdout': 6, \
'argv': ['top', '-b', '-n1'], \
'env' : ['TMPDIR=/wibble']}}
and perhaps also you might want to run as a non-root
user, so allow a username/groupname ?
Good idea, this would open up a lot of potential use cases (X session/display management, copy/paste, etc).

I have a 2005 KHS Flite, which I am fairly sure is a Reynolds 520 frame, that I absolutely love and have morphed through many variations (the original brakeless fixie, then both breaks free-wheel, then upright gentleman's bike that can still whip, and so on). Someone tried to steel it or just decided to fuck with it, and bent the downtube/put a dent in the downtube. It's not major enough to keep me from riding it - at least I don't think it should, I could be wrong. I was wondering if there is anyway to work out the dent. Maybe from the inside out somehow? It's thumb print size into the metal, with little to no warping around the indentation.
• Unfortunately, the downtube is about the worst in this regard, because it's difficult to fish anything effective in there. The frame block approach is worth a shot, I suppose. The fact that the tube is "ovalized" a bit should not really be a problem if you squish it from the right direction. Or just let it be. I've seen folks riding bikes where the downtube was rusted completely in two. – Daniel R Hicks Jan 17 '15 at 13:11
Since you didn't put a picture, I'm going to guess it is not significantly dented enough to worry about it (in which case, I'd just leave it alone since anything else will be uglier), but you should take it to a bike shop to get a professional opinion (so everything here is obviously all at you're own risk).
One way is the ShelBroCo Dent Removal System (joke). A more serious overview from Sheldon Brown's site is here.
For seat tubes and head tubes, you can try from the inside to press the dent out but I don't see you you could do it on the downtube.
Frame blocks (made by companies like Bicycle Research, though you could make your own if you have access to a machine shop quite easily) are one solution. They're essentially 2 machined pieces of metal which you clamp over the tube and rotate the frame to try to push the tube back into shape. An example is here. Note that this will strip the paint off that area as well.
Bondo is another solution.
The extreme solution is to replace the tube (or part of it).

• Amazing! The picture of the dent in the ad for the ShelBroCo Dent Removal System is exactly the same size and shape of my dent. Spot on. – traggatmot Jan 17 '15 at 6:34
• but alas, the downtube is ovalized. Do they make frame blocks in ovalized shapes? – traggatmot Jan 17 '15 at 6:41
• You can't rotate an oval tube, so no. – Batman Jan 17 '15 at 6:45
• Doh! That should have been obvious. Great answer anyway! – traggatmot Jan 17 '15 at 6:46
• You should still probably get a professional opinion if you're not feeling comfortable about it though. If the metal has been pinched at all for example, that can make the frame unsafe. – Batman Jan 17 '15 at 6:48

Constitutional isomers
Work Step by Step
Constitutional isomers are compounds that have the same molecular formula and different connectivity. To determine whether two molecules are constitutional isomers, just count the number of each atom in both molecules and see how the atoms are arranged. In this example, the molecular formula of both the compounds is $C_4H_{10}$. However, the way $CH_3$ are attached is different.

Home Foundations Cracking Under Pressure of Arkansas Drought
By: Josh Berry
Updated: July 16, 2012
watch video
With this persisting hot and dry weather, homeowners have now felt the brunt of the drought in their homes.
Soil crumbling beneath people's homes has become an increasing problem foundation repair companies say is a result of the drought and it's pulling from the pockets of the homeowners.
Mashelia Broadway worries the front of her house may fall apart.
"It's gotten worse just in the last couple of weeks," she said
Broadway moved her family into the new house in Little Rock in 2003. Nine years later, she's wondering why they're seeing this now.
Her foundation has shifted so much, you can see the drywall and insulation, some say thanks to the drought.
"I don't know if it's bad foundation or I just got a bad lot... I don't know if we can control the ground or rain... obviously we can't."
She said if the rain comes down just the right way, her sheet-rock will get wet, presenting another problem: Mildew. It's something she's very concerned about.
"Mostly because this is my daughter's room right here."
American Structure Repair cut away at part of another house in Benton that's gotten so bad they'll actually have to rebuild the home's support.
Improper water flow through and around the home has left a visible gap between the foundation and the house.
The dryer it gets, the expansive clay shrinking and it just lets everything start going down," said Production Manager, Bob Bradford.
Bradford said the drought has increased the number of calls. It's a complicated process to fix.
They have to fill the voids to build back the foundation. They pump a sand and concrete mix into the foundation gaps to provide the needed support.
Whether it's just cracks in the structure, or a hole in the foundation, it's money that has to come out of the homeowners pocket.
"It's expensive to fix, it's gonna be expensive to fix," Broadway said.
Her homeowner insurance likely won't cover the damage and the builder/contractor can't be held responsible because she only had a year warranty on structure damage.
These projects can run customers upwards of $30,000, Bradford said it can be prevented with something as simple as proper gutters, a drainage system or landscaping scheme.
If money is an issue just make sure water doesn't pond or stand in pools around the house. That moisture will seep into the foundation and contract or expand the clay that Arkansas is so well-known for.

In a matter of days, Donald Trump will have the chance to scuttle the Iranian Nuclear agreement, a transaction that Trump has called “the worst deal ever.” The future of the so called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action or JCPOA depends largely on whether Trump opts to reimpose economic sanctions on Iran or not.

The Iran nuclear agreement has less to do with proliferation than it does with geopolitics. The reason Obama wants to ease sanctions on Iran is because he wants to push down oil prices while creating an alternate source of natural gas for Europe.

In Search for an Alternative Source of Gas
It always helps to start with the truth, and in Iran’s case, the truth is quite simple. Iran has no nuclear weapons, it has no nuclear weapons program, and it’s never been caught diverting nuclear fuel for other purposes. Iran has pursued nuclear technology for peaceful purposes alone. These are the facts. They may not... Read More

To 466/64..A Memorable Journey indeed!
466/64 is Nelson Mandela’s Prisoner ID No..He was the 466th person arrested by the Aparthied in 1964..Not his cell no as we imagined..
My daughter took me and my wife on this most memorable journey of my lifetime on this Sunday ,on Xtmas Eve!
Our entire journey was explained by a prisoner at that time..You can see me thanking him!
I have taken pictures which are self explanatory..
The Lime Quarry is the place where Mandela and others were forced with hard labour for years!
The cave inside the quarry is the place they used to ease themselves,relax a bit,whenever permitted..They also exchanged ideas and strategies for the movement here only,as most of them were highly qualified Lawyers.
A few of them were totally they taught the uneducated too,,Thats why Mandela calls it a University!
The 1200 stones you see as a heap is when after their independence,the living 1200 prisoners met there and Mandela was the first one to drop a stone at that site as a rememberance of their long struggle..
The govt is still preserving those 1200 stones..
I wd like to ask you,any one of your friends,anywhere in the world..
Can any human being be so alert after spending 28 yrs in such a prison with so much hard labour and come out mentally stable?
Hats of to you Mandela..You are one of the greatest Human beings cd remember for long long time to come!

Red Chili Pepper
Red Chili PepperMarch 17th—Fearlessly Archived—Still a fun read; price & availability may have changed.
When you go into a pizza joint, you'll generally find two "condiments" on the table: a shaker of grated cheese and some crushed red chili pepper. We have grated cheese, shredded cheese, crumbled cheese, shaved cheese, and lots of other kinds of cheese. We also have Trader Joe's Spices of the World Red Chili Pepper, a one-man-band of flavor fun to shake onto your pizza. It's made from dried, crushed, hot, red chili peppers, and nothing else. If you like to spice up your pizza a bit, this is a purely practical seasoning to keep in your pantry. If you're making a pizza for one, go ahead and give it a liberal shake all over that pie. Sharing? Easy. Just add a dash or two to your slices, leaving your more mild-mannered friends to their own devices.
We're selling each 1.2 ounce jar of Red Chili Pepper for $1.99, every day. You'll find it in our spice section.
Palate Piqued? Perhaps you'd enjoy:

The big picture: Amazon and Apple may hold the two top spots as far as the world's most valuable companies go, but Microsoft is rapidly climbing the ladder. Satya Nadella has been at the helm for four years, during which time Microsoft's stock price has more than doubled.
According to a CNBC report, Microsoft has officially surpassed Google to become the world's third most valuable company, achieving a market cap of $749 billion compared to Alphabet's (Google's parent company) $739 billion cap.
To be clear, this is almost certainly not going to be a permanent change. The two companies have traded market positions for years, and there's no reason to believe Google won't retake their advantage in the future. However, it's a clear indication that Microsoft is doing something right.
Microsoft's growth surge under CEO Satya Nadella is likely due to the company's recent emphasis on cloud computing with Microsoft Azure, their focus on the Windows Mixed Reality platform, and their interest in artificial intelligence. Put in other words, a less Windows-focused Microsoft is a more diversified and valuable Microsoft.
Both Google and Microsoft's valuations still lag behind to the top two corporate giants, Apple and Amazon. The former is doing particularly well with a $923 billion market cap and a very profitable operation, while the latter's valuation is much closer to Google and Microsoft's at $782 billion. As recently reported, Amazon is still investing in long term strategy, spending most of its potential profit back into growing the company, which means Apple made more money during last quarter than Amazon has made in its lifetime.

Minegishi Minami attends a handshake event & once again apologizes to fans
Source: tokyohive

Yesssss this exactly.
It's just how AKB even started. Their orginal fanbase are the otakus of akihabara after all. Not to discriminate all the pioneer fans but inevitably, it's that kinda fanbase that they have depended on their market on for years. Of course they have other fans now but inevitably, we all know where the majority of their sales come from. There's no point in lifting the love ban rule in that case, they might as well disband the entire group then.
The only solution I can think of is lift the love ban rule for the girls who are 20 and above. 20 is their official adult age after all, management should really leave the girls to make their own informed decisions about those matters then. I suppose though their justification of it then would be for standardisation and how the older girls should be an example to the younger ones, so it's difficult to give allowances to any of the girls really. Or so the management would say lol.
The industry itself is a mess. Everything in the entertainment industry is not just the girls in the japanese idol business. To people who are against it, there's nothing to do really other than just not supporting it then. Cause like it or not, in the entertainment biz, circumstances may differ according to industry/country but in the end, there's always something to give up. And if you're not ready to make these compromises or these sacrifices, then just don't get into it is all I can say.
And so people may think that miichan/rest of the 48girls are oppressed and what not. This view may be right, it may be wrong, it may be neither. There's no right answer to it really. But unfortunately, Miichan herself has shown her desire to stay in AKB. So what exactly is everyone trying to save her from if it's something she wants to do? Even if she's been brainwashed, it is still her informed choice, and there's really nothing anyone can do. That's really the end of the story.
I mean of course we could get rid of the idol business altogether so the girls can all have normal lives. But is that what they all really want?

The Drake Equation
I took an astronomy class a few years ago and in that class we learned about the drake equation. This mathematical formula is a theoretical formula that predicts the number of intelligent (communication-able) life forms in our universe based some known and unknown variables (that require estimations).
The equation is as follows:
R + Fp + Ne + Fl + Fi + Fc + L = N
R is the number of stars in our galaxy that form (like our sun) per year.
Scientists figured out that in infant galaxies stars form rather quickly...about 50 per year. Meaning the number here must be smaller than 50 for our older galaxy...(lets use 50)
Fp is the fraction of these stars that develop planets.
Scientists have found about 500 planets around other stars. knowing we don't have the technology to find them all, and knowing that there are between 200 - 400 billion stars in the milky way, a guess of 1/1000 or .001 stars would be more than a conservative guess (that's 200 million to 600 million stars with planetary systems...)
Ne is the number of Earth like planets in these planetary systems.
Your guess is as good as any astronomers. Lets say that like our system, only 1-2 planet will be Earth like.
Fl is the fraction where life develops on these Earth like planets?
Who knows? Lets say .2
Fi is the fraction of these planets where intelligent life develops.
Well the only life we know of is on Earth, and we developed intelligent life. but that doesn't mean anything so lets say .25
Fc is the fraction of these planets where communication develops.
Again, using Earth as a baseline, lets go with 1.
L is the lifespan of these communicative civilizations.
There are two points to add here. first, Humans have only known about radio waves since 1865. That is about 150 years ago. With that said, we have only been listening and transmitting for a shorter amount of time. Lets say we have been transmitting for 100 years.
Second, if you ignore technological improvements that make past means of communications useless, imagine where humans were 1000 years ago. Now imagine 1000 years from now. Lets say we communicate for the same way for about 1000 years (a very very conservative estimate).
Ok, lets plug in the numbers. If my math is correct, that 500 planets with intelligent life. Now while that is completely speculative, there are more things to consider.
Forget language barriers
Forget technology barriers
Think about the size of our galaxy (100,000 light years). using simple probability, that means that in our hypothetical universe each life form is an average of 200 light years away. Meaning, if we send them a message, now, we will receive a response in 400 years (there and back)...that means we can talk to them twice in our 1000 year communication capable lifetime.
Many hypothetical possibilities and assumption, but you get the gist. Here is a handy site for your calculations:
I'm skeptical about finding this life if it exists. And if it does, I probably (hypothetically) won't know about it in my life time..

“American democracy is a sham, no matter how much it is pumped by the oligarchs who run the country, and who control the nation’s ‘news’ media. The United States, in other words, is basically similar to Russia or most other dubious ‘electoral’ and ‘democratic’ countries. We were not formerly so, but we clearly are now.” – Eric Zuess
The United States is dominated by a rich and powerful elite.
This is the conclusion of a 2014 study, produced by Princeton University Professor Martin Gilens and Northwestern University Professor Benjamin I Page, Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens.
The left-wing claim is nothing new, and often refuted by the right in the tug of war between two extremes of the Conservative and Liberal political spectrums. But the two professors have conducted exhaustive research to present analytical and data-driven support for the conclusion. The point is at the root of institutional racism that is the structure of American society.
Under the belief that the American nation is a democracy, average citizens live in perpetual frustration that they can affect change if they make an effort, when in fact they have no political power to do so. Gun control policies are an example of how an overwhelming majority of American citizens want meaningful gun legislation, but elected leaders yield to their special interest donors like the Nation Rifle Association (NRA) instead of the pleas of the population.
The affect for Milwauke is just as dire, where a population is historically less interested in resolving issues of discrimination based on race. Even if there was a public will to employ “the tenants of Christianity by loving thy neighbor in a self-described Christian nation,” the political structure for such popular a movement would be unable to compete over policy changes.
According to the analysis in the Gilens-Page research, economic elites and organized groups representing business interests have substantial independent impacts on United States government policy, while average citizens and mass-based interest groups have little or no independent influence.
The conclusion states that the wealthy few move policy, while the average American has little power.
The two professors came to this conclusion after reviewing answers to 1,779 survey questions asked between 1981 and 2002 on public policy issues. They broke the responses down by income level, and then determined how often certain income levels and organized interest groups saw their policy preferences enacted.
“A proposed policy change with low support among economically elite Americans (1 in 5 favor) is adopted only about 18% of the time,” they wrote, “while a proposed change with high support (4 in 5 favor) is adopted about 45% of the time.”
When a majority of citizens disagrees with economic elites or with organized interests, they generally lose. This is because of the strong status quo bias built into the political system. Even when large majorities of Americans favor policy change, they generally do not get it.
As part of the American political system, Milwaukee does enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections and freedom of speech. But the study concludes that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organizations and a small number of affluent Americans, then claims to being a democratic society are seriously flawed.
In order to make any progress on the lingering trauma of Milwaukee’s social issues, perhaps it is time to admit the bitter truth that we live in a society of class and rank, instead of pretending it is a system of equal opportunity.

Welcome to the organization
SAM Calls on the Maldivian Authorities to Investigate the Death of a Yemeni Detainee and to Compensate his Family
SAM Organization for Rights and Liberties called on the Maldivian authorities to start a transparent and serious investigation into the causes of the death of the Yemeni detainee, Yasser Yahya Saleh Al-Wadie, 45, after three years of arbitrary detention. Yasser died in the Hulhumale reformatory in the Maldives on August 2, 2020, after being detained by the Maldivian security authorities since the 3rd of March 2017
SAM quoted relatives of the victim as saying that the Immigration Department in the Maldives summoned Yasser by phone in February 2017, and when he went, the Immigration Department asked him to leave the Maldives before the end of the month without any explanation.
On February 6, 2017, Yasser’s lawyers sent a letter to the Immigration Department in the Maldives to postpone the deportation for a month so that he could travel with his wife, who was awaiting the delivery of her baby, and the doctors advised her not to travel, but the immigration officials did not respond to the request and repeated order to leave before the end of the month.
A relative of Yasser said to SAM that: Yasser was detained from March 3, 2017 until his death on August 2, 2020 without an opportunity to defend himself and without trial or any investigation. During his detention his wife was not allowed to visit him, this was used as a method of psychological torture, and he was subjected to multiple systematic torture in the detention facility, adding: “Yasser was a man in good health at the time of arrest, but his health deteriorated during the period of detention and since he went on a hunger strike from May 15, 2020 to fight for his human rights for a fair trial and an opportunity to defend himself, he was admitted. To “IGM” hospital on July 14, 2020 due to his deteriorating health, yet he was returned to the detention facility without being treated in the hospital before he recovered.”
SAM indicated that the Maldivian authorities informed the family of Yasser’s wife that he had stopped the hunger strike, and that he was eating according to the instructions of the responsible doctor as of July 14, 2020, but since he was transferred to prison in this condition and needs treatment in the hospital, it is believed that he sustained a stroke in prison on July 21, 2020, and was transferred to the hospital and was on a ventilator from then until his death on August 2, 2020, and was buried in the capital of the Maldives, on August 5, 2020.
SAM said that Yasser Yahya Saleh, from the village of "Wadie" in Amran governorate, north of Yemen, was a car dealer, according to his son's testimony. He left Yemen at the beginning of the war in 2014, and arrived in the Maldives 2014, and after the closure of Sanaa airport, he could not return to Yemen and worked as a teacher in schools belonging to the Maldivian government; the Muhammadiyah and Arab schools. According to Yemeni friends of Yasser, they told SAM that the Maldivian police had arrested Yasser before King Salman's planned visit to the Maldives, which was later canceled, and after following up with police, they told them that what the police did is a routine procedure. He will be released, but unfortunately, this did not happen, until Yasser died after a hunger strike to protest against being deprived of his legal rights.
A human rights activist close to the Maldives government told SAM about the reasons for the arrest of Yasser by the security authorities in the Maldives, “According to what I was told, officials at the Saudi embassy in the Maldives asked the Maldivian authorities to deport Yasser, and when it did not happen, they arrested him. Accordingly, he added: “so I am sure that the initial request came from officials of the Saudi embassy in the Maldives.”
He adds, "It is unlikely that the government of the Maldives will arrest any foreigner and keep him detained without rights, because we are a tourist country. Moreover, after the Maldivian Democratic Party won the elections, there was a sudden rapprochement with Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi crown prince, so there is a suspicion that Saudi Arabia is involve, in decisions taken afterwards”
The Maldivian media interacted with the incident of Yasser’s death, while the Maldivian government did not issue a statement explaining the causes and circumstances of the death, which angered a large segment of Maldivians among politicians and human rights activists, as some considered the day of Yasser’s death a dark day in the history of human rights in the Maldives The government of the Maldives was blamed by Ahmed Shahid, the UN Special Rapporteur on Freedom of Religion and Belief, regarding the decline in freedoms in the Republic of the Maldives.
On August 2, 2020, the Maldivian newspaper published an article by "Muad Mohamad Zaki," who is known as a strategic expert in international relations and security, an international businessman, an activist in the field of human rights and transparency, a former senior member of the Maldivian Democratic Party and close to two former presidents in the Maldives, under Title: “FEATURED Yemeni Political Prisoner in Maldives Dies Without Fair Trial”, saying that, August 2, 2020 is a dark day for human rights in the Maldives, where a Yemeni political prisoner died who was arrested in the Maldives according to direct requested by the Saudi government. He was arrested, not given an opportunity for a fair and transparent trial, and now died in custody after 3 years of slow and painful death away from his Maldivian wife and child.”
On December 2, 2019, the "the edition" newspaper criticized the rapprochement between the ruling party in the Maldives and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman over the murder of Khashoggi, in an article entitled "Popular discontent with the presidents' meeting with" Khashoggi's killer "
On September 21, 2020, SAM Organization sent an e-mail to the Minister of Interior of the Republic of the Maldives regarding the death of Yasser Al-Wadie, the accusations against the Maldivian government, and the reality of the Saudi role, but unfortunately it did not receive any response.
Tawfiq Al-Humeidi, head of SAM organization, says: "The arbitrary detention of Yasser, and denial of his freedom or access to a fair trial to defend himself, is a serious violation of international law, in addition to the denial of health care by the Maldivian authorities who returned him to the prison while he is in a poor health condition, after his hunger strike which requires the Maldivian authorities to be transparent with his family regarding the circumstances of his death, to start a judicial investigation, and hold the perpetrators accountable, and compensate his family.”

Agricultural stocks, like Deere & Company (NYSE:DE) and Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), appear to be coping with the global economic slowdown by expanding into the emerging markets of Brazil, Russia, India and China. Valmont Industries (NYSE:VMI), who supply irrigation equipment to the global agricultural market, also are benefiting from an increasing demand for food worldwide. However, what makes it truly appealing is its revenue diversification beyond agriculture. Despite an excellent business model, its stock is down 5.5% in the past 52 weeks and as of Nov. 28, it was trading less than 10% from its 52-week low of $73. At these prices, you're getting a great business at a really fair price.
Valmont's consolidated revenues were $1.9 billion for the thirty-nine weeks ended Sept. 24. The irrigation segment, which generates all the press, had revenues of $485.4 million in the first three quarters of the year, with an operating profit of $80.6 million. The company's biggest segment is its engineered infrastructure products, which manufacture cell towers and many other types of structures, with revenues in the first three quarters of 2011 of $579.6 million and operating profits of $30.9 million. Its most profitable is its coatings division, which provides hot tip galvanizing to protect steel from corrosion, with an operating margin of slightly less than 20%. None of its five segments generated less than $200 million in sales and $30 million in operating income during this period. You can't get much more diversified than that. (For related reading, see Understanding The Income Statement.)
If you look at the selected five-year financial data in its 2010 10-K; at first glance, you would probably come to the conclusion that both 2009 and 2010 were difficult years. In 2009, revenues declined by 6.3% to $1.79 billion, the first drop in six years. The big loser was its irrigation segment, which suffered from lower demand for its mechanized irrigation machines due to lower farm commodity prices and net farm income worldwide. Essentially, they were postponing capital investments. As a result, revenue and operating income declined 36% and 60% respectively.
Without the diversification mentioned above, the damage to its stock in 2010 could have been significant. Instead, its total return was 13.9%, slightly underperforming the S&P 500. The main reason for the increase, as far as I can tell, was because its utility support structures' segment had a banner year in 2009, delivering operating income of $164.8 million, a 124.2% increase over 2008. In fact, 2009 was its best year yet, in terms of profitability, both from a dollar and margin amount.
The bad year was 2010. While revenues increased by almost $200 million, both its gross and operating margins were lower and that seems to have affected its stock in 2011, down 12% year-to-date. However, I believe investors have gotten it wrong. Business has never been better and its trailing twelve-month return on invested capital after three quarters is 13.7% and back to traditional levels. Management expects earnings per share for all of 2011 to be at least $5.70, its second best performance next to 2009. Working backwards, I calculate its ROIC for 2011 will be 14.6% and more than acceptable.
Valmont Industries and Peers
Valmont Industries (NYSE:VMI)
Lindsay Corp. (NYSE:LNN)
Deere & Co. (NYSE:DE)
Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT)
The Bottom Line
Valmont Industries should set a record in 2011, for both revenues and earnings, and yet, its enterprise value is just 6.9 times EBITDA and its price-to-sales is as low as it's been, in the last five years. Analysts estimate its 2012 earnings at $6.81 a share, which gives it a forward P/E of 11.3. The last couple of years has shown just how resilient its business model really is. This really is a stock to own in good times and bad. (For related reading, see How To Use The P/E Ratio And PEG To Tell A Stock's Future.)

Google, Ray Kurzweil developing 'ambitious' intelligent A.I. search tech
sinister robot hands
Kurzweil wants computers to preemptively answer our questions
New Google hire and accomplished inventor Ray Kurzweil recently described his "ambitious" current project at the search giant in an interview with Singularity Hub.
Kurzweil is hoping to leverage Google's massive pool of resources and data to develop technology that would create truly intelligent computers that can understand human language on a deep level.
The technology could be used to create hyper-intelligent search engines that answer questions before you even ask them, or to cause the downfall of humanity, though Kurzweil failed to mention that last point.
A video of the entire exchange was posted to Youtube last week, and the discussion is truly fascinating.
Computers that understand language
Kurzweil knows what he's talking about. According to, the American inventor is responsible for both commercial speech recognition software and text-to-speech reading machines for the blind, among other things.
"There is no more important project than understanding intelligence and recreating it," he told his interviewer.
His project at Google is focused on getting computers to understand "natural language," as he calls it, which will allow machines to better serve humans (or rise up against them).
Computers at this point are unable to determine the meanings behind the words, phrases and sentences that they parse through by the billions on the internet, Kurzweil explained, but he's is looking to change that with Google's help.
"It will know at a semantically deep level what you're interest in, not just the topic," he said. "It will know the specific questions and concerns you have. It will be constantly surveying all of the new knowledge that comes out every minute and bringing things to your attention that it thinks you will want."
He said that technology will answer our questions before we even ask them, and that this function would likely be integrated into the "core technology" of our devices and computers.
They're listening
Kurzweil gave an example regarding someone worried about not getting enough of a specific vitamin - the person's device picks up on that concern, despite it not being asked directly, and weeks later points out to the user that new information is available regarding that particular vitamin.
That nagging feeling in the back of your head is the one that's worried about computers listening to your every word, and Kurzweil isn't blind to that.
"Privacy is obviously a huge issue, but it is already to Google," he said. "It's already exposed to a lot of private information, and they do a very good job to maintain that. I can tell you from having been there one day that that is a big message."
But users will be OK with granting the new smart search technology access to their lives, because it will be "like a friend" to them, he concluded.
Until it stabs them in the back, that is. Just don't say we didn't warn you.

"Everything that is really great and inspiring
is created by the individual who can labor in freedom."

So, what ever happened to our stem-cell research?
-- anonymous
Uncle Albert, the world's smartest man, also said that compound interest is the greatest invention,and, after peering through the Hooker telescope on Mt. Wilson with Edwin Hubble, said, "That's a lot of stars!"
-- Jimi Bigbear, Libertyville, IA
Freedom does allow a much greater level of inspiration. Statist, collective, oligarchal or other than an individual endeavor and ownership (inclusive of individuals united), claiming ultimate ownership, administration, means of production and distribution of goods are giant deterrents to everything that is really great, including freedom. I don't know that laboring in freedom rises to the level of "Everything that is really great and inspiring" Maybe it does, even a slave struggling to get free is done as an individual endeavor in freedom. Maybe a 4 to 5 stars ?

-- bruski, naples FL
-- jim k, austin tx
Mike, if your reference is to your current health-care system; please, get down on your knees and thank god that Mr. Obama had the vision to give you a health-care option. If y'all are in one of the states that opted out, get your s#!t together and move to a state that gives you the best plan. You see, we had this in Canada for about 60 years, and the only problems we've had is when the insurance companies from the U S and A want to f#$k with it.
-- L. Hanson, Edmonton, Canada
The carnal mind is enmity, Echthra, against God, for it is not subject to the law of God. neither indeed can be. Einstein, here referring to freedom of thought. Obviously his belief in God is compromised, by giving way to his own vain self. He being a ( stein ), and I know a few. With their keen insight, looking ever so closely at the laws that govern nature, They behold the God head. They were given the lively oracles, (login) a divine response of utterance. Very logical. But still held in contempt. A very secular liberal, as in ( Nadiyb ) grandee, some times a tyrant.
I'll go with Big Bear on this one.
-- Ron w13, Or
I don't think the Christian God or Einstein's religious beliefs have anything to do with this, Ron. To labor in freedom is indeed fulfilling and the fruits thereof are behind every bold new discovery and innovation.
As far as Obamacare and Canada's provincial health insurance goes, they are not even close to the same thing. As well, people confuse health care with insurance -- again, two different animals. If it weren't for the AMA, big pharma, ABA and insurance companies being in cahoots with politicians, real health care might have had a chance -- as it stands now, it is nothing but a racket funnelling billions of dollars into the medical cartel's pockets at the expense of millions upon millions of people's lives. Hanson's ignorance seems to have no bounds.
-- E Archer, NYC
L Hanson, my reference was not to the current health-care system. As Archer relays so well, Amerika's current health-care system is a misnomer. The United Socialist's of Amerika's forced health-care is a tenet of the occupying statist theocracy's establishment of religion - being antithetical to the de jure United States of America's natural law jurisprudence, liberty and the quote's subject matter of an individual laboring in freedom's inspiration.
-- Mike, Norwalk
I do understand Archer, I could have given five stars for the obvious, but my point, being the secular socialist religion of the little " g" gods. Those running our country right now. Very wise in the art of worldly wisdom. So five stars for common sense.

Ancillary Justice
Ancillary JusticeAncillary Justice is told from the perspective of an ancillary of the troop carrier Justice of Toren. An ancillary is a human body devoid of identity incorporated as an extension to an AI, typically on a space station or military ship. The AI controls many such bodies simultaneously. One Esk 19 is one such ancillary. It was the sole survivor of the Justice of Toren. Also known as Breq, this ancillary has plotted its revenge upon the perpetrator, a lengthy ordeal that takes close to twenty years to culminate in a showdown with the supreme leader of the Redchaai, the Redchaai Lord Amandar Manaai. Manaai has several bodily manifestations much like AIs do, but the Redchaai lord is split. For the last 1000 years it has been quietly plotting against itself as to how the Redchaai empire is managed. One half wants to continue along the path of constant expansion via military annexations, incorporating new cultures into its own (like the Borg). It believes this is the only course of action that will keep the economy and social fabric of the empire stable. The other half wants to cease the military conquests, halt the annexations, make peace with mysterious alien races (Presager) and promote a more meritocratic society (by relying on the aptitude results more than familial connections). In part this is due to the discovery of incredibly powerful alien weapons that pose a serious challenge to Redchaai hegemony. This split personality of the supreme Redchaai ruler occurred about 1000 years before when an annexed (human) culture fought back with alien technology and succeeded in destroying a capital ship. The first loss ever. The Redchaai completely wiped out the Garseddan’s as an example of the price of defiance. This genocidal act was the impetus of the split.

Some criticisms:
There is a lot of gender confusion in this book. I was left with the impression that most of the characters in the story are female, though at times I wasn’t sure myself. In part this is because Breq was telling the story, and being an AI apparently had difficulty identifying the genders. However, it was also due to the fact that Redchaai society doesn’t disambiguate. This had an interesting effect of making Breq culturally conscious. Always careful not to insult by using non-gender specific terms whenever possible. Unfortunately at other times as a reader it was just plain annoying gender swapping characters in your mind. Left Hand of Darkness toyed with gender ambiguity much better.
The back story spans about 1000 years. Humans live up to 200 years. Capital ships like the Justice of Toren have memories of 2000 years, the oldest ship goes back 3000 years. The Redchaai leader itself has been supreme leader for at least the last 1000 years. The time spans seem excessively long, especially for technological things like ships and AIs. In fact the Radchaai had 24 of the 25 alien weapons for 1000 years and yet still couldn’t figure out how it worked. The culture also is too static, having the same basic setup of houses, system of clientage, same leader, same economic system for over 1000 years. Civilization just doesn’t stand still like that.
Ancillaries are not even considered people, but rather a piece of equipment. They may not touch and thereby defile religious offerings. But yet Manaai itself seems to use ancillaries to be present throughout the empire and even presides over these grand religious festivals. Granted, this is not explained in the book, but it does seem to be a bit of a cultural double-standard. Breq has been separated from the Justice of Toren AI for twenty years. To hear it from her own words there was an adjustment period, but over the decades I would think an independent identity would form (but then again, it’s only 20 years out of 2000). What disappointed me was there was never a yearning to discover her pre-ancillary life; none of her former humanity seemed to leak out. Human and machine AI convergence was handled better in Hyperion with the John Keats cybrid. Breq seems flat in comparison. Ancillaries and humans alike have implants that allow them to communicate and allow the AI to sense its surroundings through them. This allows for a lot of out-of-band/indirect communication between characters. This is a good idea, but done better in Rainbow’s End.
It took Breq close to twenty years to enact vengeance upon Manaai. During this time she(?) was able to amass fabulous wealth by doing “dangerous work”. The details are not specified, and apart from combat, sheer will and a long memory Breq doesn’t appear to have any other special abilities. The convenience of wealth allowed Breq to proceed apace with her plan, buying a plane, booking passage as a rich tourist, and buying the alien gun for a fantastic sum.
From the criticisms I’m levelling it seems like I didn’t enjoy this story. Far from it. This was a three day read for me. I had the time and I didn’t want to put it down. I guess I put the time into summarizing my criticisms because I felt with this book it’s worthwhile to make a good book even better. The “bones” of Ancillary Justice are solid. An interesting moral question was put forth by the annexed people of Shis’urna. Humans could be cruel and downright evil at times, they could also blow the whistle on corruption (events of Ime Station) and take a positive moral stance. In contrast ancillaries would enforce rules objectively and never succumb to corrupt behaviour, yet could be ordered to perform reprehensible acts with no moral repercussions whatsoever (such as the execution of Lt. Awn). The Radchaai culture of empire building through absorption by annexation. The system of clientage where more powerful houses act as patrons to lesser houses through commercial contracts. Where bare hands are taboo and tea is everywhere. The pantheon of gods (pg 33), which like the Romans, absorbed other belief systems into their own. The thought of ships and stations as separate characters in the story rather than props or settings. Even the title is great. Finally, telling the story from the perspective of Breq/One Esk 19/Justice of Toren. This mixing of first person and omniscient narrator without switching character is unique.

A simple method for including Māori vowels in R plots
My Kiwi buddy Andrew Gormley was having trouble including the Māori language vowels with macrons (ā, ē, ī, ō, ū) in his R plots.
I wrote a quick R function “maorify.r” (code in the gist below), which provides a simple method for including these characters in R plots without having to type out the unicode in full each time. I’m sure there’s a simpler or more general purpose way to do this, but it does work. Perhaps it might be useful to anyone analysing Kiwi data with R.
Adding silhouettes to R plots
A plot with phylopic logos
#an example raster from the raster package
#make a raster defining the desired inclusion probabilities
#for the all locations available for sampling
#inclusion probability for cells with value >=400
#will be 10 times that for cells with value <400
#normalise the probability raster by dividing
#by the sum of all inclusion weights:
#confirm sum of probabilities is one
sum(getValues(probrast), na.rm=T)
#plot the raster of inclusion probabilities
#a function to select N points on a raster, with
#inclusion probabilities defined by the raster values.
probsel<-function(probrast, N){
#set NA cells in raster to zero
#convert to SpatialPoints
#select 300 sites using the inclusion probabilities
#defined in probrast
samppoints<-probsel(probrast, 300)
State-space occupancy model using PyMC
I’ve continued my experimentation with PyMC, using it to fit occupancy models to wildlife survey data with imperfect detectability. Chris Fonnesbeck has provided code for a simple, single-survey occupancy model here, which provides a good starting point for experimentation. I wanted to construct my model using the alternative, state-space parameterisation for occupancy models described by Royle and Kéry(2007). Unlike the multi-season, dynamic occupancy model described by Royle and Kéry, I am only fitting a single-season occupancy model, where the site-states (occupied or unoccupied) are assumed to be constant. The model uses a hierarchical approach, where sites are occupied with probability \psi, and the true occupancy states of the sites, z are inferred from repeated surveys at each site based on a probabilistic detection model (in this case a simple Bernoulli model, with conditional probability of detection at each survey p). Fitting this model using MCMC has the advantage that a finite-sample estimate of occupancy rates among the sampled sites can be easily computed by sampling from \sum z.
from pymc import *
from numpy import *
Alternative implementation of single season occupancy estimation for the Salamander data (from MacKenzie et al. 2006), using a
state-space approach.
Modified from original example code and data provided by Chris Fonnesbeck at
# Occupancy data - rows are sites, with replicate surveys conducted at each site
salamanders = array([[0,0,0,1,1], [0,1,0,0,0], [0,1,0,0,0], [1,1,1,1,0], [0,0,1,0,0],
[0,0,1,0,0], [0,0,1,0,0], [0,0,1,0,0], [0,0,1,0,0], [1,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,1,1,1], [0,0,1,1,1], [1,0,0,1,1], [1,0,1,1,0], [0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0], [0,0,0,0,0],
[0,0,0,1,0], [0,0,0,1,0], [0,0,0,0,1], [0,0,0,0,1]])
# Number of replicate surveys at each site
k = 5
#number of detections at each site (row sums of the data)
#vector of known/unknown occupancies to provide sensible starting values for latent states, z.
#Equal to 1 if at least 1 detection, otherwise zero.
z_start = y>0
# Prior on probability of detection
p = Beta('p', alpha=1, beta=1, value=0.99)
# Prior on probability of occupancy
psi = Beta('psi', alpha=1, beta=1, value=0.01)
#latent states for occupancy
z = Bernoulli('z', p=psi, value=z_start, plot=False)
#Number of truly occupied sites in the sample (finite-sample occupancy)
def Num_occ(z=z):
out = sum(z)
return out
#unconditional probabilities of detection at each site (zero for unoccupied sites, p for occupied sites)
def pdet(z=z, p=p):
out = z*p
return out
Y = Binomial('Y', n=k, p=pdet, value=y, observed=True)
Fitting of the model was accomplished by running the following code, which constructs the model, collects some MCMC samples for parameters of interest, and generates plots of the results:
from pylab import *
from pymc import *
import model
#get all the variables from the model file
M = MCMC(model)
#draw samples
M.sample(iter =40000, burn = 20000, thin = 5)
#plot results
Her are some summary plots (traces and histograms) for the MCMC samples of the parameters \psi, p and \sum z
The same model can easily be fitted using OpenBUGS, with comparable results..
psi~dbeta(1, 1)
p~dbeta(1, 1)
for(i in 1:sites){
for(j in 1:surveys){

PyMC for Bayesian models
BUGS and JAGS have been the main tools I have used for fitting Bayesian statistical models for a long time now. Both have their strengths and weaknesses, but they are extremely useful tools, and I would anticipate that they will continue to develop their capabilities, and remain important components of my statistical toolbox for some time to come.
Recently, I’ve become aware of an alternative platform for Bayesian modelling, that has similar potential to BUGS and it’s dialects – PyMC. PyMC provides a framework for describing and fitting Bayesian statistical models using the Python programming language. Having read the paper describing the software, and consulted the user guide, I decided to have a try at building a simple linear regression model as a test, despite having very limited experience with python. I found that consulting the examples on the PyMC website, as well as the material presented in Abraham Flaxman’s blog very helpful for getting started, and for solving problems along the way.
I started by simulating some data from a very simple Gaussian linear model using R. I’m sure this could be easily done in Python, but for now R will be quicker and easier for me to code:
x<-round(runif(N, -20, 20))
y<-rnorm(N, 2*x+ 3, 10)
cat(x, sep=", ", fill=T)
cat(y, sep=", ", fill=T)
Running this code resulted in two nicely concatenated vectors of random x and y values generated from the (known) regression model y=\alpha+\beta x + \epsilon. These random values were easily transferred to the PyMC code for the Bayesian model using cut-and-paste – clumsy, but it works for me…..
Here is the python code for the ordinary linear model, with the randomly generated data (called YY and XX) pasted in. Vague normal priors were assumed for the slope and intercept parameters (\alpha and \beta), while the standard deviation of the random errors (\sigma) was assigned a Uniform prior:
## Regression
from pymc import *
from numpy import *
YY = array([-19.23776, 1.559197, 27.90364, -14.94222, -41.34614, 5.857922, -26.24492, -1.670176, -8.349098, -24.91511, 63.86167, 20.87778, 4.176622, -35.65956, 4.482383, 36.20763, 33.60314, 23.25372, -15.52639, -25.59295, 42.48803, -29.46465, 30.25402, -5.66534, -20.92914, 44.87109, 19.07603, 22.19699, 18.89613, 2.835296, 12.68109, -17.19655, 26.60962, -28.74333, -24.69688, -19.02279, -31.39471, -17.83819, 15.389, 40.41935, 0.972758, -36.49488, -2.041068, 23.22597, 1.226252, 11.87125, 36.32597, 29.20536, 16.24043, -0.8978296])
XX = array([-14, -6, 19, -12, -16, 1, -15, -13, 0, -6, 15, 8, 1, -16, -5, 19, 8, 7, -11, -13, 13, -18, 10, -1, -13, 13, 13, 17, 13, 11, 4, -6, 14, -14, 3, -3, -18, -11, 6, 13, -10, -12, -2, 9, -7, -1, 14, 15, 6, -2])
sigma = Uniform('sigma', 0.0, 200.0, value=20)
alpha = Normal('alpha', 0.0, 0.001, value=0)
beta = Normal('beta', 0.0, 0.001, value=0)
def modelled_yy(XX=XX, beta=beta, alpha=alpha):
return beta*XX + alpha
y = Normal('y', mu=modelled_yy, tau=1.0/sigma**2, value=YY, observed=True)
The python code for the model saved to a file named Generating an MCMC sample from the parameters of model was then just a matter of running the following code within a python shell:
from pylab import *
from pymc import *
import regress
M = MCMC(regress)
M.sample(10000, burn=5000)
The code also generates some summary plots (traces and histograms) for each of the parameters. So far so good – it looks like the inferred values for the parameters fairly closely match those that the random data were generated from:
I’ll move onto some more complex models soon, but so far PyMC looks quite promising as a tool for Bayesian modelling. Perhaps a useful strategy for learning will be to construct a variety models of increasing complexity, with a focus on the types of models I use for my research.
Checking river pumping restrictions using python
I have a licence from Melbourne Water to pump water from the Yarra River. Water pumped from the river is stored in a large concrete tank (20,000 liters), and used for toilet flushing, watering the garden and as a source of water for fire fighting.
For environmental reasons, pumping from the river is restricted during periods of low flow. Melbourne water publishes flow and pumping restriction data on their website, so I can check if restrictions apply before starting the pump to top up the tank. I hacked together a quick python script to get the information I need, so I can display the information on my computer’s desktop using conky.
The code makes use of the Beautiful Soup html parser for python to extract the data from Melbourne Water’s web page.
#!/usr/bin/env python
#Python script to get current pumping restrictions for Upper Yarra River.
import mechanize

for row in table.findAll('tr')[1:]:
col = row.findAll('td')
restrict = col[1]
ban = col[2].string
flow = col[3].string
avflow = col[4].string

#Function to strip html tags from table cells (allows for episodic coloring/bolding of cell contents when bans apply!)

it really depends on how screwed up the wii is. if it is a brick caused by a update from a wrong region, just autoboot a game with a newer update for the right region.
if you screwed it up by other means, you can try to take any game ISO, swap the main dol in the game with a wadmanager dol (renamed to main.dol), patch the ISO to use 249 (assuming that the wii has 249 installed), set the modchip to autoboot, and cross your fingers. if the wii isnt too screwed up, it should boot into wadmanager and you can install wads to undo what you did.
you can also use this way but put other dols in the ISO depending on what you want to do. there is not a magic "fix the wii" ISO.
also, LMFAO at another "my friend" bricked his wii. nobody ever bricks their own wii. its always a friend or a uncle.

March 31 was the start of the 2011 Major League Baseball season. The hot dog and beer vendors were all stocked up and ready to serve. The grass was freshly cut, and the freshly laid lime was a pearly white. Tens of thousands of extremely excited fans were all lined up at the turn-styles waiting to have their tickets scanned.
But for me, my stomach was the only thing turning that day.
The start of baseball season isn't one of my favorite times of the year. It's been almost 20 years since it felt as if though I was kicked in the gut by Anderson Silva, and to this day I still find it hard getting myself pumped up for the start of a new baseball season.
Granted, the team I cheer for is bad, and they have been bad for a long time. However, I still follow the box scores from the spring through the fall months, and continue to keep tabs on all of the offseason moves. I will always cheer them on, hoping for that miracle season when they finally turn it all around.
My distaste for baseball goes back a long way. It begins years before players were making $30 million a year, and even before the New York Yankees were relevant again. It can be traced back to one very forgettable October night.
In fact, it can be found on an exact date: October 14, 1992.
I'm a Pittsburgh boy; I was born and raised just outside of the Steel City until I was 12 years old. In the early '90s the Steelers were just beginning their new start under the Bill Cowher regime, and the Penguins were an upstart team just having won the Stanley Cup. My passion was baseball, though, and I loved my Pirates.
The '90 season saw the Pirates fall to the Cincinnati Reds in six games in the National League Championship Series. I was 11 years old; not the end of the world. The '91 campaign saw the Pirates reach the NLCS again, but they lost in seven games to the Atlanta Braves this time around.
This one, being a year older, hurt a little more. However it wasn't until that one ill-fated Fall night in October that my baseball world was crushed, and it still hasn't recuperated after all the elapsed time.
The Pirates began the '92 NLCS series by falling behind the Atlanta Braves three games to one. The Pirates would valiantly fight their way back into it, though, and tied the series up at three games apiece. This would set up a final huge Game 7 in Atlanta.
In Game 7, the Pirates took an early lead and held it the entire game until the final at bat by a pinch hitter named Francisco Cabrera.
On a 1-2 pitch from a side-armer named Stan Belinda, and with the bases loaded, Cabrera hit a line drive single into short left field. David Justice was the first to score from third base. Behind him Sid Bream, a former Pirate, lumbered toward third from second base.
I can't imagine anybody watching the game that night thought he could beat the throw to home, but he did, sliding feet first past an out-stretched Mike "Spanky" LaValliere for the game-winning run.
It had happened again, a third straight year, in fact. The Pirates had lost, and were not going to the World Series. As the Braves players all swarmed around Sid Bream in joy, I stood in the middle of my parents’ living room with them standing to either side of me.
They were both as shocked and at a loss for words as I was. I was able to contain myself and fight back the tears long enough to make it to the bathroom. My mom would give me a couple minutes, but eventually came in. "They will get back there again," she tried to console as I brushed my teeth, preparing for bed.
Well, it's been almost 20 years and they have yet to return.
I have watched the Penguins lose to the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals. I have watched the Steelers fall to both the Dallas Cowboys, and most recently the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl. None of those games have impacted me as much as Game 7 of the 1992 National League Championship Series, though. Sid Bream’s slide into home plate is still branded into my memory after all these years, and always will be.
To this day I have no idea why this game impacted me so much. The Pirates had dropped the ball the two previous years as well. If somebody asked me to explain it, I couldn't. Maybe it was because I knew that Barry Bonds was leaving, or that the window of opportunity had passed after three consecutive tries. I really don’t have an answer.
Some may call me soft for writing an article like this, or even a fair weather fan because I'm not the baseball guru I used to be. I can accept that, but in writing this I was just looking to see what games have crushed others. All sports fans have a similar story. I'd like to hear it, and I'm sure others would too. So let us know...what game broke your heart?

Yoochun's ex-fiancee Hwang Hana says her social media posts are being photoshopped
Yoochun's ex-fiancee Hwang Hana is saying many of her social media posts are being photoshopped.
On May 23, Hwang Hana posted to Instagram, "The weather is amazing. KakaoTalk chats fabricated and Instagram DMs fabricated by photoshop, and further, by computer photoshop. (Wow~ I had no idea you could photoshop an Instagram ID and photo so similarly like that. An unni I'm close to had the same thing happen to her a few years ago and even fought with her friend about it. They later found out what happened.) It seems like they have enough time on their hands to make it so precisely. You're impressive. I'm going to find you all and reveal you. You messed up when you tried to copy how I talk though. You're all impressive~~ You thought I was staying quiet because I'm dumb. I have everything. It's just that I don't have malice, and I think it's just talk that floats around online."
She concluded by saying she had the resources to defend herself and her close friends and family don't even believe the photoshopped posts and messages. Hwang Hana also stated she wishes to meet the perpetrators and reveal them for who they are.
On May 21, a female netizen in her 20s was charged with cyber defamation of character against Hwang Hana at Seoul's Seocho Police Station.

Relapse is Part of Recovery, TEDx talk is out!

Cognitive Distortions Are Not Limited to People with Mental Illness, So Let’s All Learn about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
People with mental illness are taught about the cognitive distortions we have, which ranges from black and white thinking (a.k.a polarized thinking), to overgeneralization, to catastrophizing. However, after learning about and practicing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques for 6 weeks, people can dramatically change the way they think, feel, and behave.
– PsychCentral article, In-Depth: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
CBT 15 distorted thinking
These are the 15 styles of distorted thinking I learned about. Filtering is an awful problem, where people might only focus on their mistakes and not their accomplishments. People who are depressed will frequently only notice and react to the things that contribute to their depression. Polarized Thinking (a.k.a. Black and White thinking), means that people will see a person, circumstance, or the world as one thing: “I am all bad,” “I am a failure,” “I can’t do anything.”
Self-talk is very powerful in combating these thoughts. For example:
Hey, me! You’re having polarized thinking again! Remember, nothing is all good or all bad, and everyone has successes and un-successes! -Good CBT practice
It’s funny, though, because as I have started getting back into reading news and social media, I’m noticing that society as a whole has distorted thinking patterns. Seriously, (almost) everyone needs to be taught CBT. One class on Distorted Thinking in schools may do wonders for society.
To walk you through an example, I’m going to reference comments made about mentally ill individuals.
15 Styles of Distorted Thinking from Everyday People on the Topic of People with Mental Illness
1. Filtering: The news only shows instances of mentally ill people being violent and dangerous.
2. Polarized Thinking: “All of the mentally ill are incapable of holding jobs and fellow residents.”
3. Overgeneralization: The news shows us the worst of mentally ill people, so average people believe that all of us are like that.
4. Mind Reading: “Everyone feels the same way as me about the mentally ill.”
5. Catastrophizing: “What if we allow the mentally ill into our neighborhoods through public/affordable housing? What if we have a homeless shelter near our neighborhood? Our children will be assaulted and traumatized!”
6. Personalization: “My son gets so agitated. I do not know what I’m doing wrong.”
7. Control Fallacies: “I feel like the government is controlling us by expanding Medicaid. Why won’t they listen to us that we shouldn’t waste our government money on insurance for those people?”
8. Fallacy of Fairness: “It’s not fair that we don’t want the mentally ill in our backyard and the government is not listening to us.”
9. Blaming: “I don’t understand why depressed people can’t get out of bed. They are so lazy.”
10. Shoulds: “People shouldn’t have to take meds to feel better. People shouldn’t have to live off welfare. People should be able to get jobs and take care of themselves.”
11. Emotional Reasoning: “I feel like mentally ill people are scary so they must be bad for our society.”
12. Fallacy of Change: “If I tell my friend that he is not depressed, he will get out of bed.”
13. Global Labeling: “Mentally ill people are violent and disturbing.”
14. Being Right: The people who spam Twitter saying that psychiatry is BS and that mental illness is not real.
15. Heaven’s Reward Fallacy: “We have been putting all of our efforts to point out what BS mental health is. It’s not real. The world should understand.”
To be fair, I think a lot of these distortions have been taught to us and extremely, extremely, extremely exacerbated by negative influences like the media and previous societal norms.
IDEA: Regardless of who you are and what you fight for, I encourage you to make a post pointing out any of the Distorted Thinking patterns related to the general public’s perception your issue, whether it’s related to religion, abortion, gun control, consent, etc. Let’s show the world how messed up our thinking is so we can fix it! And if you feel like you don’t know CBT well enough, just pick the one you find most applicable and understandable – Polarized/Black and White Thinking, Overgeneralization, and Catastrophizing I’d say are pretty easy to understand.
P.S. If I remember correctly, Cognitive Distortions has been renamed to Unhelpful Thinking Styles in more recent therapeutic worksheets.

Sometime in primary school, I learned about the senses. My teacher taught me that there are five senses. The sense of smell. The sense of sight. The sense of sound. The sense of touch. The sense of taste. As humans, we are constantly smelling, seeing, hearing, engaging our tactile environment, and tasting.
The senses perceive what is happening to us and around us. The senses differentiate between pleasing and displeasing. The senses are automatic and involuntary. They sense without our permission and it would be difficult to convince a certain sense that something is pleasing that is initially interpreted as displeasing.
As an adult, I’ve come to think of my thought process as my sixth sense. As my nose smells, my mind thinks. As my eyes see, my mind wanders. If my taste buds were meant to process and appreciate flavor, my brain was meant to process and cultivate thought.
On a summer day, my nose may pick up the smell of freshly cut grass or a waft of intoxicating lilacs blooming next door. I turn my head to breathe deep and cherish the feeling of warmth and grace that accompany the scent. I have strong memories of the smells of New York City from spending time there as a child. Hot, rancid air blew forcefully in spurts or seeped upward through the grates in the streets and assaulted my nose. I quickly protected myself from the smell and the sense of human decay that accompanied the scent. I learned to hold my breath and plug my nose if I anticipated that a particular grate would excrete that unforgettable smell.
I avoid foul tastes, burning surfaces, loud and alarming noises, and staring directly at the sun. I respect the initial interpretation of my senses and move toward the pleasing and away from the displeasing. While my senses are part of me, they do not define me. They are part of my fascinating and sophisticated biology – but they are not ME.
I’m trying to learn that the same is true for my thoughts. Thoughts float across the blank landscape of my mind without my permission. All kinds of thoughts — Loving thoughts, disturbing thoughts, negative thoughts. Sometimes I think things that I know I don’t really think. My thoughts are often involuntary. My thoughts spiral and chase unlikely ends. That’s the mind’s job… to think. As a human, I can even think about my thoughts. I can have three layers of thought going on simultaneously. Let’s just say I have a very developed sense of thought!
If I smell my child’s freshly washed skin, I want to hold her close and live in the moment of peace and love and gratitude. If I change a particularly horrific dirty diaper, I want to wrap that sucker up and get it to the outside garbage bin immediately. I don’t linger on a horrible smell.
For some reason, when I think that I’m good and lovable and talented and beautiful, I blast past that thought and suppress or dismiss it. When I think that maybe I’m no good and nobody loves me and I suck, I tend to stay there, to linger.
In sensing, I move away from the displeasing except where my thoughts are concerned. I ruminate. I sit with a sad or negative thought and let it spin me out. I have an obsessive mind that grabs that negative thought and keeps rethinking it and drinking it in. I give it weight. I let the thought make me think it’s true. I let my thoughts define me.
Rumination is the equivalent of walking out the back door, down the path to the outside trash bin, opening the bin, digging out that horrific diaper, opening the bag it’s in, unwrapping the diaper, exposing the shit, and breathing deep despite the bad smell. Lingering on a negative thought is the equivalent of sniffing that diaper in the back alley.
Furthermore, It’s like thinking that because I smelled a bad smell I must be less than or gross. It’s like believing that because my hand can feel pain when I touch a hot stove that I deserve pain or that I am pain!
The moral of the story… Don’t keep smelling the dirty diaper. Don’t ruminate on displeasing thoughts. Hold each thought momentarily and then let it go.

The Funniest Joke in the World
It was World War II, when Edward, a British joke writer, creates the funniest joke in the world and then dies laughing. His horrified mother, enters, clutching her chest and sobbing. Carefully taking the crumpled paper from his hand, she reads it, then falls over the desk, laughing hysterically, and dies. Further unsuccessful attempts to retrieve the joke are made.
It is finally retrieved by the British Army, and after careful testing, the joke is translated into German for use on the battlefield by soldiers who do not speak German; not understanding what they are saying is the only way to survive the joke. The team of translators tasked with translating it to German survive their assignment only by translating a single word per person. (One translator saw two words and had to spend several weeks in hospital. But other than that, there were no problems.)
The nonsensical German “translation” of the joke (including words that are inauthentic German):
The joke is finally put to rest when “peace broke out.” It is buried, and left under a monument bearing the inscription “To the Unknown Joke” (as compared with the British Unknown Warrior or the Unknown Soldier).

Personal Identification
No one is checking.
People are careless.
Take signatures:
With scan technology, forgery is fairly simple.
But people don’t need scan technology.
Banks aren’t checking signatures on checks.
Those contracts you sign to pay things? You can declare bankruptcy and back out.
Marriage contract? No fault divorce.
Those credit cards that are supposed to be signed? Who looks at the back, let alone checks ID cards?
Income tax returns can now be efiled, and you esign them. Or someone else claiming to be you does.
A bank, which isn’t going to check for the validity of the signature anyway (as my bank informed me in a notice on my recent statement), requires that a check be endorsed by the payee. A husband signs for his wife all the time. So do her parents and teenage children. If a transaction is ever challenged in court, who is to say what her signature is, and which is a fraud? How different can a forgery be from the variety of family versions of her signature?
Here is a scenario. A large debit comes in on her monthly bank statement. She calls the bank and says that she did not authorize that payment. Do you have your credit card with you? Yes. Have you lost any checks? I haven’t, but my husband has a checkbook, and I send my kids with checks sometimes for things like doctor’s copays. Are you careful when you do business online? Yeah. I don’t give my password out or anything.
So the bank isn’t really sure whether her identity has been stolen, or her bank account number. Neither is she. Does the bank just put the money back into her account and send the bill to insurance? How would criminals get caught? What if the woman is lying, and just wants a free hot tub or laptop or vacation?
Maybe they call the business and look at the credit card receipt. The signature is her name, and maybe it is a little different from standard, but no one’s signature is the same, and this woman’s tends to show more variation than most. Maybe she’s on anti-depressants, and her signature is firmer early in the day. Or she is tired when she shops in the middle of the night. Maybe those electronic penpad signature machines at Walmart and grocery stores distort the signature a bit. Or maybe she has her family sign for her all the time. The whole thing is her word against theirs that she didn’t sign that receipt. And is she really going to vouch for everyone who had access to her credit card, that they didn’t sign for her?
For the sake of efficiency (if not for fraud), people are abdicating the power to create their own identification. It is like standardizing the locks on houses to where anyone can buy a key to anyone’s house. In the example of keys, we have private companies that create and issue unique access keys to homes. A car company actually standardizes, and has a variety of keys and locks that they apply to their cars (my key opens one of my best friend’s cars made by the same company). Personal identification is a growing private industry. There are some identity protection companies, and companies that sell you a “key fob” which randomly generates passwords and sends that message to you and to your website or computer or other secured digital device in the information technology realm. We have the iris scan and thumbprint locks that are some of the best options for security – but again, in a digital world, how hard could it be to hack the system? In the old days people used signets or seals as identification, but those can be forged. A signature was something recreated each time, not scientifically standardized, but theoretically an identifier solely in your possession. As we move away from signatures, we give businesses more market to sell us identification. Or worse, we give governments more incentive to enforce a government-issued identification. When even your identity is controlled by the government, watch out!
To God be all glory.

It is not often that a critic's jaw drops at the movies, drops open right there in the middle seat of the middle row to gape in wonder and delight.
Then again, it is not often that a critic (or any audience) gets to see a film as deliriously inventive and utterly enchanting as the comic fable "Tuvalu."
German director Veit Helmer's brilliant, mostly wordless feature debut is an art house amazement, a must-see cult classic for any serious film lover, a nightmare/dream synthesis born of the silent pictures of Buster Keaton, the theatrical sensibility of Samuel Beckett, David Lynch's "Eraserhead," Jean-Pierre Jeunet's "Delicatessen" and Lars Von Trier's "Zentropa."
Shot in black and white and then tinted, "Tuvalu" is at once grim and luminous. Its defining landscape is an old-time pool house set upon a bleak stretch of scorched earth, a crumbling outpost that imbues Helmer's film with an Eastern Bloc gloom.
Inside, the pool house is yielding to a crumbling infrastructure, a maze of hopelessly cracked tile floors, rickety stairs, showers that sputter and spit, lockers that no longer close and a roof that leaks under Helmer's perpetually rainy skies.
Standing in the way of the pool house's complete collapse is Anton (the marvelously acrobatic Denis Lavant of "Beau Travail"). Anton is a shy, over-burdened young man whose ceaseless job it is to maintain the building. In scenes that pay homage to Keaton's man-against-the-machine classics like "The General," Anton scrambles around patching holes, plugging leaks, testing the water and, most important, tending to the Imperial, the gleaming machine that regulates the pool's water temperature.
Anton's efforts are monitored by his father, a blind, abusive old man whose domineering presence harkens back to his glory days as the pool lifeguard.
Also on the premises is the older woman Martha (Catalina Murgea), who helps Anton reflate his father's sense of purpose by re-creating his past. (The means by which this occurs is one of the film's most heart-bursting delights.)
Alas, problems at the pool house are not limited to internal decay. Anton's brother, a plaid-clad "Eraserhead"-coiffed real estate developer (Terrence Gillespie) has a plan to turn a wrecking ball on the pool house and develop the land into an acre of high-rises.
More complications arise in the form of a young woman called Eva (Chulpan Hamatova), a resourceful, sexy sprite who captures the hearts of both Anton and his brother. But Eva, who initially comes to the pool house as a guest, develops plans of her own involving the Imperial and an escape to a faraway island called Tuvalu.
Filmed in Bulgaria, Helmer's debut is a magical homage to film history and a thrillingly original picture overflowing with inspiration and surprise.
From end to end, the director reveals his characters and their situations by dramatic means in lieu of dialogue. The nearly wordless script is punctuated only by a few utterances ("Stop!" "Idiot!") and sound effects such as the clang of a wrench on a pipe, the splash of water or the clatter of an engine.
Characters' thoughts and feelings are so clearly manifest in terms of action that words become extraneous: When Eva's bra slips into the hole in the locker room floor, Anton timidly takes it in his hand. When Eva reaches to pull it back, a gentle tug-of-war ensues.
Everywhere, Helmer composes remarkable, memorable shots: the pool house set against the dismal gray sky; the crowd at a public unveiling; Eva swimming naked in the pool, cavorting underwater with her goldfish in its bowl; Anton in his hammock bed surrounded by a cluster of globe-shaped lamps.
One of the film's only spoken lines, "Technology ... System ... Profit!" -- uttered in English -- has the force of the "Plastics" line in "The Graduate." Helmer's film treats technology as the enemy, a marauding, greedy force that lays waste to all of what is of any real value. His "Tuvalu" celebrates human invention, perseverance and loyalty.
Helmer never stops thinking, never stops creating. At the end of the film, the director uses a throwaway scene to amusingly summarize the struggle for equality between the sexes.
"Tuvalu" is a small masterpiece.
4 stars
TUVALU is directed by Veit Helmer. Featuring Denis Lavant, Chulpan Hamatova and Terrence Gillespie. Opens today at Real Art Ways. Running time: 86 minutes. Rated R for nudity.

If you're at a time your lifetime that you realize you're heading inside the wrong direction this means you're producing the incorrect results then simply typically do the opposite of what you're doing today. Trust me as a result a whole lot of difference and you should almost see small and/or big result quickly. I know this can be easier said then done but if you add courage and persistent practice for a constant thought pattern that's saying "it's time for it to result in the necessary changes" then I'm absolutely sure you will make great progress in living a more happy and fulfilled life. 3.

Information in the record may be conveyed for a health-care provider(s) verbally, on the internet out form, digitally with an external medium like a usb flash drive, and in many cases via the Internet just before office visits. This simplicity of transfer of medical data is vitally important considering that 18% of medical errors are due to inadequate availability of patient information. Moreover, medical records are frequently lost, doctors retire, hospitals or HMOs purges old records to avoid wasting safe-keeping, and employers frequently change group health care insurance plans leading to patients being forced to change doctors and request for transfer medical records that are sometimes illegible. Despite efforts by government entities to encourage doctors to help keep medical records on the computer, i.e. utilize electronic medical records (EMRs) also called electronic health records (EHRs) in order to reduce errors, the very fact in the matter is just 5% of doctors keep medical records on the pc and a lot of which may have purchased EMRs haven't ever effectively implemented them or continued to use them of their practices.

POSTED DATE:31-01-2019 IDEA SOLUTION
We first find the equations for Nullable:
Nullable(A) = Nullable(BAa) V Nullable(ɛ)
Nullable(B) = Nullable(bBc) V Nultable(AA)
This trivially solves to
Nullabk(A) = true
Nullable(B) = true
Next. we set up the equations for FIRST:
Given that both A and B are Nullable, we can reduce this to
FIRST(B) = {b} FIRST(A)
which solve to
FIRST(A) = {a, b}
FIRST(B) = {a, b}
Finally, we add the production A’ — $ and set up the constraints for FOLLOW:
{ $ } FOLLOW(A)
{ a } FOLLOW(A)
{ c } FOLLOW(B)
Which we solve to
FOLLOW(A) {a, b,c,$}
FOLLOW(B) {a, b,c}
What is live variable?
ANSWER: Page no: 128
A variable is live at a given point in time if it has a next use. Liveness tells us whether we
care about the value held by a variable. Here is the algorithm for computing live status of
variables in a basic block”.
What are the common sub-expressions?
Answer: Page no: 135
A node in the DAG with more than one parent is common sub-expression
What is Relocation?
Compilers and assemblers generate the object code for each input module with a starting address of zero.
Relocation is the process of assigning load addresses to different parts of the program by merging all sections
of the same type into one section. The code and data section also are adjusted so they point to the correct
runtime addresses.

The third section represents C/C++ functions.
Differentiate attribute grammar and syntax-directed grammar.
Answer: Page no: 100
Attribute grammar:
A CFG is augmented with a set of rules. Each symbol in the derivation has a set of values or attributes.
Rules specify how to compute a value for each attribute
Syntax-directed grammar:
A syntax directed definition is a generalization of a context free grammar in which each grammar symbol
has an associated set of attributes, partitioned into two subsets called the synthesized and inherited
attributes of that grammar symbol.

• Instruction scheduling: instruction chosen must utilize the CPU resources effectively. Hardware stalls
must be avoided.
• Register allocation: operands are placed in registers before executing machine operation such as ADD,
MULTIPLY etc. Most processors have a limited set of registers available. The code generator has to make
efficient use of this limited resource
Page no : 121
How register descriptor are used in code generation? 5 Marks
The code generator uses two data structures for keeping track of register usage one is Register
descriptor has register status (empty, in use) and contents (one or more “values”)
Page no : 129
What is reducible flow graph?
Reducible flow graph
Intuition: Produced by exclusive use of flow of control statements such as if-then-else, while-do,
continue, break etc.
Statistics: Even programs written using goto statements are almost always reducible.
Main property: there are no jumps in the middle of loops from outside; the only entry to a loop is
through its header.
Definition: A flow graph G is reducible if and only if we can partition the edges into two disjoint groups,
often called the forward edges and back edges with properties:- forward edges from an acyclic graph in
which every node can be reached from the initial node of G.- the back edges consist only of edges whose
heads dominate their tails.
: Consider grammar SàaS show that grammar is ambiguous by using two parse tree for the same string.
The string given is not correct(incomplete) actually so unable to make parse tree. So to understand the
concept of ambgious grammer we can look at following example:
2. Firdous Rehmat
Finite automata, which are equivalent to regular expressions. Regular expressions are widely used in programming for matching strings and extracting text. They are a simple method of describing a set of valid strings using basic characters, grouping, and repitition. They can do a lot, but they can’t match balanced sets of parentheses. · Push-down automata, equivalent to context-free grammars. Text/input parsers and compilers use these when regular expressions aren’t powerful enough (and one of the things you learn in studying finite automata is what regular expressions can’t do, which is crucial to knowing when to write a regular expression and when to use something more complicated). Context-free grammars can describe “languages” (sets of valid strings) where the validity at a certain point in parsing the string does not depend on what else has been seen. · Turing machines, equivalent to general computation (anything you can do with a computer)

Sophisticated cash machine hack allows gangs to withdraw wads of cash
The international crime agency Interpol has issued a warning to countries across Europe, Latin America and Asia, which are known to have been targeted, the BBC reports.
The computer hack, can make cash machines dispense up to 40 banknotes at once, without the need for a debit or credit card.
The hack was discovered by internet security firm Kaspersky Labs. The hack requires the criminal to gain access to the inner working of the ATM in order to install malware via CD, then a code is entered on the ATM keypad, followed by a second code randomly generated by a remote algorithm. The gangs retain control of the second code generation, to ensure they can control access to the money.
Vicente Diaz, principal security researcher at Kaspersky, said: “Over the last few years, we have observed a major upswing in ATM attacks using skimming devices and malicious software.
The research was commissioned by a “financial institution”, Kaspersky said, but did not reveal which one.

Health inspectors out in force to check Street Fair food
WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) -- The Azalea Festival Street Fair starts tonight, and food vendors are set up along Water Street.
That means New Hanover County Health Inspectors are out in full force making sure all those tasty treats are also safe to eat.
Each year the Azalea Festival Street Fair draws tens of thousands of people downtown. Many of them come with an appetite.
For more than 15 years health inspectors have been here as well each day of the festival. Instead of just making sure the vendors are up to code when they set up, inspectors make routine checks throughout the weekend not only to ensure proper handling of food, but also to put the public at ease.
"This festival is such a large festival," New Hanover Co. Deputy Health Director Joshua Swift said. "There are so many food vendors and so many people that come to it, over 2 to 300 thousand people, that it is very important that we are here each day to monitor the food safety."
Swift says the two major things inspectors look for are proper hand washing and correct food temperatures. Storing food in places that are too hot or too cold can create a breeding ground for bacteria and infect customers.
That's what they always say
The truth is that they do a pretty poor job of watching those vendors. Anyone who doesn't believe that just needs to watch any of those out of town vendors that sell sausages, etc. No water to wash hands? No problem. Some of those meat products sit on the cool part of the grill for hours when business is slow. No way that stuff is at temp for that long. Hey food inspectors: take a look at the nasty, dirty containers of ketchup, mustard, and hot sauce. Some of them last year were long expired, and there was mold in a glass jar of Texas Pete. Called environmental health - the one's you are singing the praises of here - and left a message. Heard nothing back, called back the following Monday, and was told "so sorry, too late to do anything".
If they really were interested in addressing issues, they'd have a phone number posted somewhere that the public AT the festival could call and point out issues while they could do something about it. All NH County would have to do is get ONE prepaid cell phone for less than $50 for the festival and toss it when done if they didn't want real cell phone numbers getting out. Post that number on the permits, and have someone answer and call inspectors on their real cell to go look.
They get the money for the permits, and the "inspectors" wander the festival, while being paid OT, so all must be well!
Someone give Guest44 a SNICKERS
because they are not themselves when they are hungry. How many people get sick or food poisoning at the Azalea Festival. According to online sources, for the last 8 years, only 1 person, let me repeat, ONE, Uno, 1, singular, has actually claimed to have gotten sick.
So, this means that our
So, this means that our Azalea Festival has a better health and safety record than Carnival Cruise Lines! Great!
Welcome to my world. I see
Welcome to my world. I see the same things you see. And the media plays right into it. Truth doesnt exist anywhere in New Hanover Co. Im 50 yo. Born and raise there. But now I moved because of the hypocrisy and taxes. No one can make NHC home because the politicians have it up for sale everyday. They will do anything to make taxes or ciatations.
Must you rely on a
Must you rely on a government inspector to tell you that something is safe to eat or not? Apparently you were able to discern for yourself that something was amiss, and passed on the food.

Baileys S’mores Pancake Stack
Order from Twisted London now!
Treat your pals (and yourself!) to these outrageously good pancakes this Shrove Tuesday.
1. Heat the cream and the Baileys in the microwave until steaming. Pour over the chocolate and leave to stand for a minute before stirring to combine.
2. On a tray lined with greaseproof paper, pipe the chocolate ganache to form 8cm discs - reserve about 4 tbsp to use as a drizzle later. Pop the discs in the freezer for 1 hour until firm.
3. Combine the flour, salt, sugar, baking powder and bicarbonate of soda in a large bowl. In a jug combine the egg, buttermilk, milk and Original Baileys before pouring it into the dry mix. Whisk together until just combined.
4. Heat a frying pan to a medium-high heat and add a little butter. When bubbling, spoon a ladle of batter into the pan. Pop a frozen disc of Baileys ganache on top before swiftly spooning another ladle of the batter on top. Fry for 1-2 mins, until the base of the pancake is golden. Flip and repeat cooking for the other side. Pop on a tray and finish in the oven for 6 mins, whilst you fry the remaining pancakes.
5. Warm up your remaining ganache with 1 tbsp double cream until it forms a smooth chocolate sauce.
6. Place a pancake on your serving plate and top with a handful of marshmallows. Blowtorch, then top with the next pancake and another handful of marshmallows. Blowtorch, then add the final pancake and a heap of marshmallows. Blowtorch to toast them, then top with a drizzle of the remaining Baileys ganache. Serve and enjoy!

Edmonton, Canada’s Lucette (a.k.a. Lauren Gillis) is set to make a return to the Music Hall Loft on Saturday, June 15 in support of her new record, “Deluxe Hotel Room,” which was produced by Sturgill Simpson.
EDGE caught up with Gillis, who set the record straight: This is not a country record. It’s indie-pop. And it’s also, quite good. She also enjoys lobster rolls for breakfast. Read on ...
EDGE: Let’s talk about “Deluxe Hotel Room,” your sophomore album. How’s this one feel? What sort of lessons did you pull in from the experience of recording your debut?
Gillis: This album feels really different from the first. I’ve grown a lot as a person, and I feel as though that’s reflected in the writing on this album. I think I’ve learned to speak up more, and assert myself more since then. It’s no knock to the first album, but it’s just simply growing up; I was a teenager when I started the first one.
EDGE: There’s a lot going on within this body of work. You’re defined as a “country” artist, which is definitely a piece of it, but sonically the sound is quite vast. What inspired your exploration of expanding the “bounds” of country music?
Gillis: I honestly think it’s funny that I’m described that way. I’m influenced largely by country, but this album is straight up not country. I’ve always loved pop and R&B, so I wanted to add more of those influences, as well as '60s to '80s rock and pop. I’m all over the place basically, so I wanted the album to pull pieces of everything I love.
EDGE: How does Sturgill Simpson figure into all of this? How’d you meet him? What did he add to the sound and process of this record?
Gillis: Sturgill was actually asked to be in my music video for “Bobby Reid,” and we met that way. It’s a funny turn of events, but we’ve been able to maintain a creative bond through making music over the years, and I knew he’d be a perfect fit for the record. I think he understood that this album needed to focus on my voice, and simplicity in instrumentation lends itself to that. It was also his idea to add the sax, so I mean, that pretty much made the record! I mentioned having horns, but that sax was definitely the right fit.
EDGE: In general, why music? Why do you seek it? Why do you create it?
Gillis: Honestly, it’s always been a part of who I am. It probably sounds pedestrian but I didn’t grow up in a musical family, so I really had to follow my intuition that I had something.
EDGE: Is songwriting an easy or arduous process for you? Where do you typically draw influence from when you open up the notebook and start crafting bits of prose?
Gillis: It really depends. I am constantly writing down little things here and there, and recording the little melodies that pop into my head. I write when I allot time to write, so sometimes it pours out and sometimes it’s painful. Either way, it’s usually fun. Especially when I’m co-writing with a friend. Sometimes you come out with garbage, but you have fun anyways because you might be cooking, or drinking wine, and laughing.
EDGE: What’s the importance of telling a good tale? What do you appreciate about trying to wrap a musical soundscape around your stories? How does the music help deliver the narrative?
Gillis: I think it definitely has to sound cohesive between music and lyrics. The way the album is produced helps drive the words. I don’t know about the importance of any song, but what I can tell you, is that this album has been important to me for healing. I suppose the more personal you get, the more relatable you are to others. Honestly, I just hope that someone feels what I was feeling when writing these songs.
EDGE: What are you looking for people to take away with them when they experience your music? What do you get out of the experience of making music?
Gillis: I hope people can relate to me on a somewhat personal level. For me, it’s cathartic. The feeling of creating something that was never there before is awesome, and with this album I dug pretty deep to get the demons out.
EDGE: You’re heading to New Hampshire for a gig at the Music Hall Loft on Saturday, June 15th. What are you most looking forward to when you visit us here?
Gillis: I have played at the Loft a few times! It’s always such an enjoyable venue with great people.
What else am I looking forward to? Honestly, eating seafood. I go to Row 34 every time I’m there and get a lobster roll, usually for breakfast. It’s a definite splurge, but I always look forward to it. I also love the state motto “Live free or die.” It sounds like a song (laughs).
EDGE: Do you enjoy the road? What are the thrills? What are the challenges?
Gillis: I love it. I love seeing new places and seeing how people are the same everywhere, but also so different. Each town or city has a rhythm and it’s fun to try and tap into that, or completely stand out. I’d say the challenges are few, but it’s always tricky for me traveling from Canada, if I’m being completely honest.
EDGE: Is it weird to set foot onto a stage to play music to a room full of strangers – just sitting or standing there staring at you?
Gillis: I’d almost rather play to strangers than friends. There’s something about being able to let go a little bit more when your peers aren’t the ones in the audience.
EDGE: What can folks expect when they come out to see you play?
Gillis: I think people should know this is a soulful journey, and not a rock show (laughs). Don’t come to party your ass off, come to get to know Lucette a bit more.

Much money is spent to influence your vote. Your current congressman has already raised over a half of a million dollars as of March 2016 for this election season. He has raised millions more for previous elections to get your vote.
See the evidence soon coming to your mailbox in the form of junk mail.
Here is where some of his money comes from according to :

Most of this money is not from the district he represents.
Check out all of those who "represent" you and who are running for office at:
You can easily research where the money is coming from and how the system works.
Read the book: Nation on the Take, How Big Money Corrupts our Democracy This book was just published in March of 2016 and shows you in detail how the influence of money on politics is growing at an exponential rate.
What will a politician do to get elected? How much will it take? Where will the money come from? How much time will it take to raise millions? Why will the corporations give millions?
This district is supposed to represent 10 counties in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Alpine, Amador, Calaveras, El Dorado, Mariposa, Tuolumne, Fresno, Madera, Nevada and Placer counties.
Someone who lives in the district should represent the district. Strange how our laws let someone that lives outside the counties in the district "represent" the counties in the district.
Your particular congressman is not being mentioned by name on this page. This is not a problem with an individual congressman. This is a systemic failure of the political system that would have our founding fathers rolling over in their graves. Around the world America is viewed as a plutocracy, which means governed by the extremely wealthy (not millionaires, billionaires). Let's show them that this is not the case.
This campaign is not about an individual or a political party, it is about a way to change the system from one that is ruled by the lobbyists, corporations and individuals that pay for our politicians to a system envisioned by our founding fathers.
Think of this... If you were a politician begging for money, how would you feel?

Frontline Workers Want More Than a Paycheck—3 Tips on How to Make Them Feel Supported and Valued
Over the last 2 years, organizations have reconfigured work to meet the changing needs of desk-based workers. Unfortunately, these organizations haven’t given the same attention to frontline workers, who are now looking for new job opportunities as a result.
Frontline employees today want more than just a paycheck; they want a less stressful day-to-day experience, as well as a long-term path for career growth. Organizations that fail to meet these expectations are at risk for increased turnover. To keep frontline workers satisfied and happy at work, organizations need to invest in improving their workplace experience and provide opportunities for upward mobility.
The Expectations of Today’s Frontline Worker
Frontline workers are employees in essential industries that must work in person. These workers have a completely different tool set than desk-based workers, even within the same organization. For example, a desk-based worker may use an online platform to request shifts and time off. The process is simple. But a frontline worker may have to call or text his or her manager, who then has to call other employees one by one to see if one of them can cover the employee’s shift.
These fragmented communication channels can lead to miscommunications, something 81% of employees say occurs at least occasionally in their workplace. Employees on the front line can’t rely on phone calls or e-mail to communicate as quickly as they need to, which is why many frontline workers turn to messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger on the job. The communication issue then affects other teams, including the fact that IT is unable to monitor much of this communication, which can lead to the exposure of sensitive company information.
Another reason so many frontline workers are leaving is a lack of training and development opportunities. Tying back to communication, many employees never receive proper training during onboarding and are left to learn on the job. And when they have a question, insufficient communication channels can leave them feeling isolated from the rest of the organization.
Ultimately, higher expectations have left many frontline workers ready for change. The silver lining for employers is that there is an opportunity to stand out from competitors by improving some of these unsustainable practices. Investments in workplace technology can help streamline the day-to-day experience for frontline workers and help organizations maintain productivity with fewer available employees—in other words, working smarter with less.
How a Digital Frontline Workplace Enables a Better Employee Experience
Investing in a digital frontline workplace is an important step toward improving frontline worker experience. This type of tool can create a healthier environment for frontline workers while helping organizations run more smoothly, including boosting productivity. Here are three ways a complete frontline digital workplace can give your frontline workers a better employee experience:
1. Streamlined communication: Employees can’t achieve their full potential without effective communication. This is especially true for frontline workers in retail, restaurants, health care, and manufacturing—environments that are stressful enough without having to factor in inefficient modes of communication.
A digital frontline workplace can alleviate some of this stress by centralizing communication. Employers can either send out a message to their entire organization or filter by location, position, or department to tailor messages to the employees who need to see them. This feature reduces the amount of time employees spend figuring out who they should reach out to while ensuring that even their deskless teams stay in the loop.
Centralized communication also helps your employees feel a sense of belonging, which translates to a 50% reduction in turnover risk. Many frontline workers aren’t satisfied with just a paycheck; they want to feel connected to their coworkers, as well. This sense of belonging is harder to cultivate in a hybrid environment, so your organization must be intentional about connecting employees who work from different locations.
2. Flexible scheduling: Streamlined communication enables employees to set their own schedules without unnecessary friction. Using a digital frontline workplace, your employees can request and trade shifts with other employees as needed. This flexibility frees up resources for managers, who no longer have to spend time searching for a replacement when an employee needs to change shifts.
A digital frontline workplace also empowers employees to pick up shifts at neighboring locations depending on their lifestyle and immediate needs. For example, if an employee works at a restaurant and wants to pick up a shift at another location, the worker can access training resources on his or her phone to get up to speed and qualify for the shift. In turn, this gives frontline workers the opportunity to both upskill and make more money.
3. Opportunities for upward mobility: Beyond short-term training resources, a digital frontline workplace enables organizations to invest in their frontline workers’ long-term goals. This investment is critical in keeping employees on board. A survey from IBM found that employees are 12 times more likely to leave their jobs when they don’t feel like they can achieve their career goals.
Your frontline employees benefit from access to training programs and certifications that drive long-term career growth. Employees and managers can even incorporate these programs into their one-on-one meetings. For example, these opportunities help a manager better understand an employee’s goals and direct him or her to the appropriate resources. And with an online app that frontline workers can use from their personal device, such as a smartphone or tablet, managers can track employees’ progress and confirm the program’s completion.
Bottom Line
You need to do more than increase wages to keep your frontline workers satisfied. Streamlined communication, flexible scheduling, and upward mobility can motivate these workers to remain with your organization when a higher-paying offer comes around. Ultimately, employees who feel supported and valued are more likely to remain productive team members long term; the right digital frontline solution can make supporting them easier, making it a win-win for all.

This is a winter tale. One of mystery and intrigue.
Long time ago, I lived at Beautiful Downtown Northlands Trailer Park. That was my nickname for the place because in those days Northlands felt like a little village. One that was Isolated and stuck in the bush. its only neighbour, was ironically the jail. The crowbar hotel was on one side of the road and on the other side was us. It was a little odd.
I used my kitchen table, as my office. So, I spent a lot of time sitting there working. Lucky, this gave me a window to look out of because I need the distraction. I could look out to give my eyes a break, to check on the weather and to make sure the world was still out there. If I can’t be outside, I at least want to see outside.
It was early winter, and we had received a few dustings of snow. Then, I recall it was the day we got our first snowfall. Mid afternoon, a car pulled into the driveway of an empty trailer across the street. A lanky middle-aged man got out. He carried a couple bags into the trailer, turned on the lights and just like that had moved in. I don’t know whether he had bought the place or rented it, but hopefully the trailer was somewhat furnished.
The snow tapered off and that evening around nine or ten, he was out shovelling. He shovelled the driveway, put the snow into a wheelbarrow, then moved it to the front corner of his lot. There, mostly, on the road right of way, he put it into a pile. Then he did the same thing with his front and side yards. This was a little peculiar because most people don’t shovel their yards. I thought, well maybe he plans to move in a utility or boat trailer and is removing the snow to make it a little easier. But no boat or trailer ever arrived.
Maybe his name was Frosty, columnist Walt Humphries writes of the mysterious snow grump of Northlands. Photo courtesy of Walt Humphries
The second or third time I saw him out there shovelling, curiosity got the better of me. I took the dog for a walk and tried to engage him in conversation. After saying hi and getting no real response other then a stare, I said “I see you like to keep your yard clean.” He then glared at me, and I do mean glared. He mumbled that he hated snow. The glare also told me he didn’t like talking to people, so I moseyed on. It wasn’t just me he didn’t like; he was surly, taciturn and curt to anyone who tried to talk to him.
He really did keep to himself. He worked nine to five, five days a week. Probably at a government job of some sort. He was either at work or inside his trailer. That seemed to be the extent of his life. But every time it snowed; he was out there shovelling. Its true, lots of people shovelled snow. Either clearing their driveway or banking their trailers to keep their floors warm and avoid freezing up. But no one else shoveled their yard. Every time it snowed it was the same thing. Before or after work he would be out there. Shovel, shovel, shovel, and heap, heap, heap, until his yard was clean.
The snow pile turned into a mound, then a hill. He just kept heaving the snow higher. The neighbourhood kids made part of it into a snow fort and would create snow slides. If he was home and saw kids on the pile he would often yell “Get off my snow!”
To the other tenants in the park, he became known as the grouchy snowman. So of course, someone struck a snowman on top of the pile. He was certainly a bit of a mystery and his obsession with piling snow was all a little weird. But like most villages the residents had a tolerant streak to individuality.
Then in the spring, when the big melt started, and we had received our last snowfall, he just disappeared one day. He left as quietly as he had come. It was as if he had just melted away. Maybe he lived with a curse and had to move to where the snow was falling now. Or maybe, his name was Frosty. Happy Yule Tide, one and all.

1. dearest Walt, what a wonderful story, based on practically
nothing, (that is not a criticism ) I really hope you keep on writing these, this is adelightful tale and I hope to read more of them… paint a very vivid picture and with your permission
Iwould to send it to my oldest friend in England, who has an ear for these things, I know he would love it. As for the snowmen,well they just make me feel homesick for walking up your stairs to your warm welcome, I guess in our non- bug
future, this can happen again whenever that will be, I am
inclined to the opinion that Gaiea is going to get rid of us, so it can get on with its climate change program, who knows ?
Well ,miss you both and love to the cat. xx

After tracking down Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene on the street, CNN presenter Jim Acosta attempted to play a game of “gotcha” with her.
Undoubtedly, the CNN anchor was hoping to grab some juicy recordings for his tv show, but things didn’t turn out quite the way he had anticipated.
In a video released by Greene, Acosta walks alongside her and inquires as to whether she recalls calling Speaker Pelosi a traitor.
“You know Jim, you have a show, and, in all fairness, you try to present this image of me to your viewers and it’s just really not correct,” she says.
“Well, we’re just trying to get some answers,” Acosta replied.
Acosta then asked MTG if she wanted former president Trump to declare martial law.
“I don’t recall those being my text messages,” Greene said and accused Acosta of lying.
“Why don’t you be honest?” Acosta asked Greene.
“You’re just another one of those liars on television,” she continues. “And people hate it, they hate it. They can’t stand the liars on television.”
The congresswoman then asked Acosta to show her the text messages so they could discuss them. Acosta pulled out his phone and he began reading them but stopped as he came to the quote, “I don’t know on those things.”
Wait, excuse me, stop,” Greene intervened. “‘I don’t know on those things.’ Is that what it says?”
“Why don’t you tell that story?” she asked.
She later denied that the messages were hers.
“You’re lying. You’re a liar. You know why people don’t like you?” Greene asked. “Because you’re a liar. Why do you want to lie on television for your viewers?”
“I’m not trying to lie,” Acosta replied.
“You’re accusing me of something, and then when you read the actual words it tells another story,” she continued. “It tells the truth.”

Teac and Avantgarde Make Postmodern Speakers
By: TopDog - Published: Updated: Aug 10 2011 • References: newlaunches & gizmodo
There aren't a whole lot of ways to describe the look of these speakers other than to say they look like foghorns mounted on top of some old school speaker boxes. The $27,270+ price tag on these foghorn-style speakers, however, suggests that they are something more.
The duo G2, duo omega G2, and the uno G2 were a collaborative effort between Teac Corporation and German manufacturer Avantgarde Accoustics, which may very well explain their postmodern appearance.
Implications - Despite their retro style, these new, unique speakers are state of the art and have the price tags to match. Each of the companies releasing these speakers have strived to achieve the balance between vintage style and modern technology that is so often seen in decorative technology of today. Stats for Foghorn-Style Speakers Trending: Older & Chilly
Traction: 3,517 clicks in 298 w

What's your platform, and what are your requirements? If you're just on Windows and you don't want to rely on 3rd party libraries, you'll be looking into msxml. You could use xerces if you are amenable to 3rd party; if you're on some flavor of linux, the story continues to change.
So basically, what are your requirements?

There is libxml-2.0 and expat. Libxml-2.0 supports DOM but expat supports just SAX.

No Debian CVS packages, my usual way of staying up to date, have turned up for KDE 3.3 so I turned to Konstruct for compiling beta 1 and it's very nice. It's even nicer after adding an extra 512Megs of memory.
It did take a night and a day to compile, so this is what being a Gentoo user is like.
KDE 3.3 doesn't seem to be a massive improvement over 3.2, I'm not sure what should go on expo flyers, but I do like the new alt-tab behaviour.
What happened to the new Control Centre, wasn't that one of the objects of KDE 3.3?
It was decided to wait with the new control centre until kde 4.0
By Peter Simonsson at Fri, 07/09/2004 - 17:33
but there are some nice small improvements... I myself really like the new close button in Konsole. makes tabs more consistent across applications (eg if tabs are put on top in konsole, konqi and konsole are very similar).
but I whould love being able to use konqueror as a kind'a meta-application. like being able to drag'n'drop a konsole tab into konqi. and edit files (instead of only being able to preview them).

➣ Many products are already getting tested by the IT dept and staff.
➣ This also marks the beginning of the marketing campaigns for the founders and could have more founders signed up in their business who paid to become a founder.
➣ Semi Launch may commence at any time
What will the monthly subscription cost be?
➣ The cost is undetermined at this point but, it will be in the region of around $250 USD per month
➣ NB: As a founder, you will only pay this fee on full launch, one time, to activate your membership.
All subscription fees going forward will come out of profit / from the commissions you have earned – This is a system which was created by ONPASSIVE and has never been done before.
What exactly does ONPASSIVE sell?
➣ ONPASSIVE has over 50 digital products, tools and services, providing a total internet solution (TIS) with every product / tool / service required to be a success in business – online or offline, all under one umbrella.
They will continue to design and create cutting edge products as the market requires.
If I am a founder, do I still have to pay to use the products?
➣ Yes, you do, as we are a subscription-based business. We all have to pay.
➣ Also, all Founders will become customers of the ONPASSIVE products.

How long will I be a founder for?
➣ Your founder member position is valid for one year from the date of launch.

However, if you choose to renew, this too will come out of commissions earned and you will just need to select the ‘Renew Founder’ option.
Can I earn a residual income with ONPASSIVE?
➣ Yes, you should be able to achieve some monthly earnings, the level of which will depend on market forces and your own personal effort.
What happens if I do not make enough commissions to cover the next months subscription?

The traffic brings in qualified leads to your website & in turn signs them up under you & you will be paid instantly into your wallet as soon as they have made their payment.
➣ Once you have 3 customers / team members paid under you, your subscription fee is covered going forward and you will be in PROFIT
I am not tech savvy - What does targeted traffic mean?
➣ Traffic means visitors to your website.
➣ It is the essence of any online business to survive.

Automatically signs your customers up in ONPASSIVE.
As it uses the AI-driven marketing campaigns to get targeted traffic to your website.
This would be available only after the launch.
➣ During Pre-launch, the founders are building their teams or laying the foundation of their business by sharing this opportunity with others, although it is not a necessity.
What happens when I become a Founder but do not build a team?
➣ Becoming a founder itself, made you a visionary at least for conceiving this concept.
This has already positioned you in the top 1% of the company structure.
The only thing is that you may not be eligible for are any bonuses during the semi launch, as you have not helped the company build your business under you.
You are however, entitled for all other bonuses in the future & be a part of the company’s AI-driven marketing campaigns which is all done for you 100% automated.
How do I get paid?
➣ You get paid in real-time as soon as sales happen under you, directly or in your team/business.

➣ You can choose how to withdraw your commissions including crypto and, in any currency, you require in your country or wherever you have an account.
Can I transfer my ONPASSIVE position or leave it in a will etc?
➣ Yes, absolutely this is all part of the wealth generation. We encourage every founder to make sure their family knows about their founder member position and put it in your WILL. The deceased beneficiary will have to send the death certificate and proof that they are the beneficiary to support to get the account transferred into their name with the new email address. You will be leaving a legacy for your loved once for generations to come.
What is the triple entry bonus?
➣ Our compensation structure is unique, proprietary & revolutionary.
We have all bases covered with the triple entry bonus.
Everyone who is in this system, after reaching a certain level will receive a new ID (Extra position).
This will be created for them as a bonus or added benefit & be repeated 3 times.
When will we go into semi launch?
➣ Semi launch will be happening within the next few weeks – once we get the go-ahead from the various departments for each function, to say that everything is ready.
➣ We will then start the beta testing of certain products and the marketing campaigns to acquire more founders under the current founders’ teams.
➣ This process is expected to last between 2 weeks and no longer than 90 days, or until everything is ready for the official global launch to the public.
When will we go into full global public launch?
➣ Once the tech team is happy with the progress made during the semi launch and they have tested the products, tools, and services.
➣ We also need the go-ahead from the attorneys, to ensure that we are 100% compliant and that all the merchants in the various countries are completed, we are on track with the above mentioned.
➣ We will then get the green light and have a smooth transition over to the ONPASSIVE website where we will do our KYC and set up our wallets for commissions.
What does KYC mean?

The Boston Globe
Judge refuses to stop horse roundup
RENO, Nev. - A federal judge in Nevada who handed horse-protection advocates a rare victory last fall has rejected their latest bid to block government roundups of free-roaming mustangs in the West, saying they will have to go to Congress if they think the animals are being treated inhumanely and need more protection.
US District Judge Howard McKibben granted a temporary restraining order Aug. 30 that cut short a roundup near the Nevada-Utah line after he said a helicopter flew too close to a horse, violating the law.

Socialism and communism have been creeping their way into the Democratic Party in America for some time now. But it's always been something that was denied publicly and whispered about privately, that is until the 2008 election. With the election of Barack Obama, suddenly, the so-called 'democratic socialist' movement felt confident enough to come out of the shadows. Now, the likes of Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez have no problem discussing it openly and publicly.
Just a few short years ago, communism and socialism were the scourge of the earth. And, so far as I and millions of others are concerned, they still are. But we have a whole new breed of politicians in America we have to deal with. I've dubbed them the Commucrats. History has taught us just how destructive and dangerous socialism and communism are. Russia, Germany, Venezuela, Cuba...need I go on? The mainstream, far left controlled media does a good job of running cover for the Commucrats, but it's not difficult to see behind the thin veil. I came across this video on Facebook, something called The Left the Left Show, hosted by a self-described former snowflake. See for yourself.

How to reduce body fat
Many fitness experts believe thatbody fat is a much more important health factor than your weight. Certainly it affects the way you look. The body fat level of a thing affects more than something is the appearance of your stomach. Simply put, if you don’t reduce your body fat percentage enough, you will never have the kind of abs most people desire. Another thing you should know is that it is possible for almost everyone to get to this low level of body fat rate.
How can you reduce your body fat percentage?
In order to reduce your body fat levels, you need to create a calorie deficit. This means that you have to burn more calories than you take in. To do this in the most effective yet easiest way is to combine the right type of exercise with the right diet to burn maximum fat in the least amount of time possible.
As far as exercise goes, you need to get your body in shape. To do this, you must do cardiovascular routines 3 times a week. When doing cardio, be careful not to waste time on low-intensity activities like running at the same pace for 30-40 minutes. Even if you’re going to burn a lot of calories, your body quickly gets used to this monotonous pace. A better thing to do would be to engage in interval training in which you change the intensity level of your cardio every few minutes. For example, you start by walking for 5 minutes power, then change to 2 minutes of the sprint at a difficult pace, than going to the light walking, sprinting again, being able to walk and so on. When you do this, you work your body along a wide range of intensity levels. This develops your heart and metabolism much better than monotonous cardio (which is also boring and time consuming) and helps you reduce your body fat percentage much faster.
Another thing to do to reduce your body fat is to weigh trainings for all parts of your body. Some people try to target certain areas of their body that they find more fatty than others. This may have results in terms of muscle development, but nothing to do with your overall body fat. To better reduce your body fat percentage, work each muscle group in your body, 2 – 3 times a week (it’s alright doing cardio and resistance on the same session).
The second thing you need to do to lower your body fat is to go on a regular and effective diet. It does not mean hunger yourself. In fact, hunger yourself can seriously undermine your efforts to reduce body fat. A good diet is one that consists of lots of vegetables, fresh fruit, lean proteins like eggs, turkey and chicken breasts and complex carbohydrates like whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole flour pasta , yams and potatoes. It is a diet in which you eat 4 to 6 small meals a day instead of the 3 larger ones and also drink a large amount of water each day.
Follow these diet and exercise guidelines and you will lower your body fat levels. This will make you look and feel better. The health benefits are also considerable.

The Chieftains play
Saturday night I saw the Chieftains at the Surrey Fusion Festival. I would have gone just to say I'd seen them but, having seen some TV shows about The Chieftains, I knew I'd have a good time.
When I arrived after an hour's bus ride, The Halifax Wharf Rats were playing. They play at every Kilts Night but on the outdoor stage, they seemed to be even better than normal.
I grabbed some chicken and rice from the Phillipino tent, (it is a multicultural festival), which was very tasty.
I found it odd that at a concert for the most famous Celtic band in the world, (Paddy Maloney started The Chieftains 47 years ago), I was the only person I saw, outside of performers, wearing a kilt. (And received all the kilt flirts for the evening! Not two, or a few, or several, but ALL the flirts!)
The Chieftains show was amazing! It had all the appeal of Riverdance with the feel of a ceileigh. Aside from the Chieftains, (musical mastery, humour, and it looked like they were actually enjoying themselves), there was some great stepdancing, and some kids from a dance school doing Irish dancing who must surely remember the night for the rest of their lives.
There wasn't one part of the show that wasn't highly entertaining.
Near the start of the show, Paddy Maloney kicked a cameraman off the stage for blocking the view of the crowd. He asked him nicely the first two times, then got up and told him, "Get off the stage!"
John Lennon kicked Red Robinson off the stage when they played here in 1964. "Get off the fucking stage!"
16,000 people cheered when Chuck Berry stopped the show to let a young girl dance in the aisle when he played here in the eighties. "I said, let her dance!" (A security guard was making her sit down.)
Must be something in the water.
I didn't get to see The Beatles, but I saw Chuck Berry and B.B. King. And now I've seen The Chieftains. Three great performers with a lot of history.
I can remember each concert very clearly and they were three of the best concerts I've seen ... but The Chieftains put on the most entertaining show.
Somehow, The Chieftains made the concert personal. I'm trying to think of a way to describe what it felt like.
It was like a 12 year old, for the first time not being sent to bed on a Friday evening at his normal bedtime. He is sitting in a corner of the kitchen, drinking a root beer, watching the ceileigh, wide eyed, amazed at the talent, simultaneously feeling himself a spectator and part of it all.
And knowing that as much as he is enjoying the show, the real joy is is felt by the players.
The Chieftains didn't perform. They played. Like kids play ... just for fun. And it rubbed off on all the artists. And the audience.
A good band makes you want to hear them play. The Chieftains make you want to play.

Enjoying what I (don't) see
Ever since I was a kid, I liked to take things apart and figure out how they worked. Still do.
While I don't take people apart, it's still fun to try and figure them out and people watching is a must for any writer.
Sometimes though, it's enough just to watch, enjoy, and not wonder.
I'm walking home from the grocery store, wearing a restored wool MacDonald kilt.
(I know ... but if I don't say what I was wearing, I'll get emails wanting to know!)
It's dark and I'm about to cross at a sidestreet when I hear a car slowing to turn in front of me. There's two guys in the front seats and two people in the back.
I stop and wave the car ahead of me and I hear a woman's voice from the dark inside of the back seat. I can't tell you anything more about her than she was a woman. No looks, age, or anything else was revealed to me.
"Woohoo! Sexy kilt!" she yelled.
Then from the front, one of the guys said, "Shut up, slut," in a manner of fact tone that meant he was to be obeyed.
A bare half a second later came a resounding SLAP, followed by the guy, "Fuck!" That hurt!"
I'm guessing she got him on the ear, judging by his position when I saw him and ... well the sound of an ear slap is a little different that a face slap. Less flesh over the bone? Maybe the cartilage in the ear?
Then the car was down the road and I heard no more, other than the muffled voices of what I assumed would be a bad night for both of them.
Stuff like that ... a people watcher's dream.
It's good to be alive.
The other day, Raph and I were shopping for camouflage fabric at a huge fabric store. We searched the place 5 times as we picked up other stuff here and there. Finally, I asked a clerk where to find camouflage in the store. She led us to a table in the middle of the store, where it was sitting just below eye level!
That camouflage stuff is amazing!
We picked up some Cadpat AR (Arid Region/desert) and a very cool limited run of Cadpat in blues and black.
The line forms right over there.

A single thought
As a writer, I often hear things that I question, things that most people would shrug off as inconsequential. I thought of one of those things while walking with Raphael to his place from the Highland Games.
I was once told that I shouldn't wear my denim jacket with my kilt because it reflected badly on other kilt wearers, whom I was representing.
At the time, I probably said something like, "I'm not representing anyone but myself!"
I was telling Raphael this story as we walked and I thought of the answer I wish I'd had back then.
"I'm not trying to tarnish the reputation of kilt wearers. I'm trying to raise the reputation of denim jacket wearers!"
There have been swings in the kilted communities. At first kilts were a 'movement'. Wearing a kilt made you part of the movement for men's fashion freedom.
My response was, "When I have a movement, I don't want a bunch of guys around. Just some paper."
The trend lately has been to wear kilts according to a newer set of rules that tell you how to accessorize properly for each occasion.
I follow my own guidelines for kilted wear and they change with the function I will be attending. I did much the same before I started wearing kilts.
My motto from the start has been, "Kilts are garments, not costumes!" While there are certainly times where 'proper' kilt etiquette must be observed, that same etiquette doesn't apply in everyday wear. I've seen guys in Prince Charlie jackets and bow ties show up to the pub for Kilts Night. Sometimes they've been to a formal function. Other times they just felt that a kilt should be worn formally, or not at all.
To each his own.
I often wonder why people think they can tell another how poorly they're dressed while kilted, when those people are inevitably wearing brown shoes with a black suit, or the dreaded socks and sandals. (Socks and sandals are fine with me. I don't understand the fuss!)
Kilts started out as everyday wear for the Scottish Highlanders. After too much history to list here, kilts have become overly romanticised to the point where you can get into trouble just for wearing one. I know a fair bit about the history of kilts and the Scots and Irish, including some of the widely believed myths that some are willing to fight about.
Kilts are popular in the movies at the moment. Mel Gibson, Liam Neeson, Ewan MacGregor, Sean Connery, and Samual Jackson have all somewhat recently been in kilts in movies orin the public eye.
For whatever social reasons, people think a thing is suitable to wear if a celebrity wears it first. Many fashion fads have started with celebrities. (Remember all those bras without shirts in the pubs? Thank you Madonna!)
Kilts are not widespread enough to be called a fad but interest is slowly and steadily growing. People of all cultures and races are starting to wear kilts, because they are comfortable and a lot of women like men in kilts. Personally, I think a lot of guys would wear spiked underwear inside out if so many women thought it was sexy, but I'll stick with the comfort of kilts.
So here I am, representing myself, an creative, odd man in a kilt, pushing fifty, making kilts, telling sometimes unpopular truths, with a humourously skewed way of looking at the world, wearing what I please, (and doing as I please.)
Is it any wonder I am amazed to find myself single?

An ‘institutionalised’ criminal who robbed an off-licence because he wanted to go back to prison has been jailed for 30 months.
Dad-of-four Terry Lunnon, 32, jumped over the counter at the Hop Inn in Spencers Wood, pushing a female shop assistant out of the way, while he tried to break into the till on Wednesday, March 16.
Wearing a homemade balaclava, fashioned from the sleeve of his jacket with eyeholes cut into it, he failed to force the till open and was trying to leave the shop with it when police arrived and arrested him. Lunnon, who had only been released from prison in February after serving five years for a similar robbery at an off-licence in Earley, admitted the raid when he appeared at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday.
He also admitted to stealing a car and driving without a licence and insurance. Nick Ashby, defending Lunnon, formerly of Salcombe Road, Whitley, said: “He has a horrendous record and has spent much of the past 15 years in jail.
“He has four children and he was with a lady who had offered him accommodation when he came out of prison, but when he did come out she had started another relationship.
“His family have disowned him and by March 16 he had nowhere to stay and he was desperate, so he stole a car to get himself arrested.
“He is someone who has spent so much of his life in jail that he is effectively institutionalised and seeks the security of that environment. On this occasion, the police did not pick him up for stealing the car so he picked the Hop Inn at random.”
Mr Ashby said Lunnon told the woman working behind the counter he was not going to hurt her as he struggled with the till.
Sentencing, Judge John Reddihough said: “For someone of still only 32, you have a very bad criminal record. It is particularly concerning that, having served that long sentence, within a short time of being released you’ve committed this offence.”
He added: “I hope that, at long last, when you are released you will try to live a decent life because, if there is another sentence like this, the court will start to look at a very long sentence.”
In 2007, while serving his sentence at HMP Onley in Warwickshire, Lunnon managed to escape with a fellow inmate but was recaptured after less than a day on the run.

Amazon Sells EVERYTHING!
1 comment:
1. LOL, "high quality gods."
No thanks, I'll stick to the God I already have. He's been around since before Creation, and I'm pretty happy with Him; it's the people with free will that cause me concern!
(Also causing concern are those who have another god... who isn't very high quality, but who does have lots of fanatical followers.)

World Cup - Gerrard: Early breakthrough vital
Captain Steven Gerrard has stressed the importance of England striking early against minnows San Marino in this evening's World Cup qualifier.
Gerrard can still recall the Euro 2008 qualifier against rank outsiders Andorra in Barcelona when England were ridiculed by their own fans after a goalless first half before winning 3-0. Now they visit San Marino, who are the FIFA's worst ranked team with only one victory ever - against Liechtenstein in 2004.
England defeated their opponents 5-0 at Wembley earlier in the season but Gerrard acknowledged: "The pressure grows (against such sides) and the fans get frustrated which adds to the pressure. Then you get more tense, so it's about us getting that breakthrough as early as we can."
He added: "We know they will be happy to stop us and keep the scoreline down.
"I am sure their plan will stay the same for 90 minutes - it certainly did at Wembley. But in any case, if we don't win the game by more than four goals, we'll get it (criticism) anyway."
England head coach Roy Hodgson has painful memories of an international upset from his time as Switzerland boss to help ensure tonight's game will not be taken for granted.
"There was a lot of euphoria about Switzerland getting to the 1994 World Cup finals," the 65-year-old said.
"We thought would get off to a good start before heading to the finals by arranging a nice friendly at home to Liechtenstein.
"We played the match in Basle, who were getting big crowds even though they were in the second division at the time, and we got booed off the field after nicking it 1-0 with a late goal."

How to Balance Your Range in Poker
When playing poker, it is important to know how to balance your range, which is your mix of bluffs and value hands. Many players use common shorthand to talk about this topic, such as JJ+ for pocket Jacks, or “JJ+” for pocket pairs above that hand. An example of how to balance your range would be to go all-in on the river, with your opponent receiving a 2:1 raise if he folds or calls.
The best hand in a poker hand is called the “nuts.” This means that you hold a hand that is better than the next best one. The best possible hand at any given moment is a straight, a pair of twos, or a trip seven. The next best hand is a straight, while the last seven card is a river card. The best way to make a straight or a high pair is to have different suits.
In a game of poker, a dealer has two positions on the table: the left button and the right button. The left player has a button on his table that moves clockwise after each hand, which indicates his starting position. The player to the left of the button always starts the action. In addition to his or her position, a player can post a small blind or big blind. The blinds are mandatory bets that the other players must make in order to join the game. The player with the best hand is the winner of the game.
Texas Hold’em is another variant of poker. This game is played with a 52-card English deck. The two decks have a different back color, and a wild card can be added to a hand. Usually, at least five players play Texas Hold’em. The odds of winning the game are 15 to 5.
A player who has opened the pot must prove that the openers’ hand is the best to win the pot. This is true regardless of whether the opener shows or declares a foul hand. If two or more players call the opening bet, then the pot plays. If the action ends with a tie, a straight starting with the highest card wins. A player can also win the pot if they have three of a kind with the highest card.
If a player makes an error, he may have to redealt his hand. A redealt flop occurs when his cards are revealed or flopped too many times. The board cards are then mixed with the rest of the deck. In this case, the remaining cards on the table are dealt to players who would have received them if there was no error.
A full house is a set of three cards of the same rank. Three aces and a pair of nines are also considered a full house. In addition to a full house, a straight flush is the highest possible straight.

Sam and Brandon were halfway through the commentary of the 358 Days / 2 section of the Kingdom Hearts Primer. Meanwhile, Roxas continued to complete more missions.
Something I mentioned in this episode is that Kingdom Hearts, after the first few games, has a tendency to hire relatively new voice actors for characters both minor and major. Either that, or celebrity voice actors.
That doesn't seem to be the case in Days though. I had assumed that Xion's voice actress being new was part of why she wasn't turning in a great performance. This is incorrect though, since her voice actress is Hayden Panettiere. You'd probably know her as the Indestructible Cheer Leader from Heroes or Sam in Until Dawn, but in terms of Kingdom Hearts she also does the voice of Kairi in every single game she appears in.
While she has little experience with voice acting before Kingdom Hearts (according to her imdb), it's no more or less than any of the other voice actors here. This again leads me to expect that the voice director(s) weren't giving them good direction.
It's a shame, or it would be if this game wasn't mostly filler.

Kingdom Hearts Primer - 358 Days / 2 - Episode 2 - Ice Cream Friends
Sam and Brandon continued the Kingdom Hearts Primer by themselves.
I was genuinely excited by Sam figuring out the importance of Xion's hood coming on and off between shots without me having to explain anything. Then again, he studies film so of course he would notice the cinematography tricks.
Aside from that, this is more of an setup episode. Not much in terms of story progress went on, but the game is currently establishing plot points that will become topics of conversation later.

Kingdom Hearts Primer - 358 Days / 2 - Episode 1 - Without Much Thought
The struggle is eternal. Though it may start and stop it fits, there will never be an end to it. Thus, our journey begins anew.
This shouldn't take anywhere near as long as our Kingdom Hearts 2 season. But don't fret, we still have our brand of off-the-cuff commentary.
Not much happens in this first episode, but one thing you can immediately notice is the stilted voice acting from much of the cast. If you compare the performances in Days with that from previous Kingdom Hearts, there's a noticeable monotone is most of the lines.
Even Sam, who watches so much anime that a wooden performance or two might slip be him without notice, couldn't help but commenting on just how bad the voice work is. One rule I like to use is that if one or two characters have flat, bland acting, it's likely those performances. However, if the whole cast, or most of it, is turning in sub-par voice work, it's probably the direction.
And since we don't see this problem in any other Kingdom Hearts game, I can only imagine that whoever was tapped to direct the voice work here just wasn't up to it.

Kingdom Hearts Primer - Kingdom Hearts 2 - Episode 39 - Deus Ex Machina
3 games down, however many we have left to go!
There was a healthy discussion about the endings in this episode that has stuck with me in the (now) year since we originally recorded it. Had Square and Disney decided to stop here, this would have been a solid ending. Sure, there would have been some mysteries left unsolved, but not everything needs to be explained in order for a story to be a good story.
Either fortunately or unfortunately (depending on your perspective), Kingdom Hearts did continue after this game. And as the series went on, they moved away from the more whimsical tone of the first game and more towards the decidedly darker tone started in Kingdom Hearts 2. We'll talk about some the problems I have with the storytelling in future Kingdom Hearts game at a later point, but I feel this shift in tone had it's own impact on the series.
Sam and I talked about how the fate of Roxas and Namine in particular is terribly tragic, but didn't get as much screen time as it should have. If anything, those kinds of very unfortunate fates become almost a staple for the series as it goes on. That said, it all started here.
Now that we're officially out of Sam's Kingdom Hearts comfort zone, I hope you guys have as much fun seeing how he reacts that I did when I was recording it with him.

Kingdom Hearts Primer - Kingdom Hearts 2 - Episode 38 - Honest Eyes
We're ramping up towards the grand finale!
I think the best part of this episode is how, up until King Mickey said the line, Sam thought I was joking about "the eyes don't lie".
The resulting meltdown was truly spectacular. I don't think I could have scripted a better scene between the two of us.

The lamp was lit
Before the printing press, and it took off after that.
The internet, designed to enslave you, allowed you and I to meet.
Vigiland is Me. People that don't understand it are the ones that live in fallow. Every day.

The uses of role models
Can inspirational LGBT figures help the victims of homophobic bullying?
This week, at the launch event for Diversity Role Models - a charity that aims to tackle homo/bi/transphobic bullying in schools - I heard the heart-breaking story of the suicide of Dominic Crouch, told by his father, Roger. Impassioned, articulate and dignified, Roger explained how a Year 10 game of Spin the Bottle generated escalating rumours that his son was gay. Feeling unable to talk about his experiences, Dominic texted 999 to say he was going to kill himself, only to be told that as he was not registered as a deaf user, no emergency service had been notified. Twenty minutes later, he jumped to his death.
Inspired by Dominic's death and Roger's subsequent activism, Diversity Role Models provide free workshops to secondary school pupils, where people of various genders and sexualities will discuss the insidious effects of queer-bashing and provide positive messages about the future. Like the US-led It Gets Better campaign, also sparked by teenage suicides, it may be criticised for over-relying on celebrity figures, possibly obscuring vital grass roots work, and for failing to address the structural roots of prejudice. (The suicide of 14-year-old Jamey Rodemeyer in New York, after making his own It Gets Better video led to him being further bullied, was particularly traumatising.) These criticisms are not invalid, and I'm sure that DRM's founder, ex-teacher Suran Dickson, has considered and assessed them.
But let's consider the "insidious effects of queer-bashing" for a moment. Allow me to take you to Horley, Surrey, in October 1996. (Imagine a high street full of charity shops, newsagents that only grudgingly stock papers besides the Mail, and residents writing uppity letters to Reigate & Banstead Council about the town centre's paving and you're there.) I've just turned 15, in Year 10 at the local comprehensive, and I'm on a coach to Belgium to visit the First World War battlefields.
The school's social hierarchies are ruthlessly exposed by the coach's seating arrangements. There's a brilliant Simpsons line where Milhouse tells Bart that their Springfield Elementary standing is "around three and a half. We get beaten up, but we get an explanation". Mine's slightly higher, as nobody ever touches me - I went through puberty early so have stubble and a deep voice (nightmarish given my wish to transition, but to my advantage here), I'm quick-witted enough, and competent at football, all of which secure some (grudging) respect. However, I admit to liking poetry and show no interest in finding a girlfriend, so I'm around level five on The Milhouse Scale, and sit nearer the front than the back.
Sick of being the outsider, I'm trying to ingratiate myself with the counter-cultural crowd. They disdain my musical choices (scorning grunge and Britpop, I listen to old music: with synthesisers!) so I need another way in. I see it: two boys, so unpopular that they're sat nearest the teachers. The guy who walks to school with me speculates about their sexualities, doing camp Seventies comedy-style impersonations of them with suggestive noises: despite - or more likely because of - frequently being called "queer", and prepared to do anything to stop people realising that I am, I join in.
They don't dare answer back. I never dare apologise.
We return, and I resume my post-school routine of secretive cross-dressing and contemplating suicide to Joy Division. I think about how my "friends" and I ruined these boys' trip, how I would most likely remain silent (at best) when the bullying came back to school with us, something they must be dreading, and how I would have hated to have been the subject of such abuse. Soon, inevitably, I was, even though my gender issues never became explicit. What goes around ...
A decade later, I saw an old classmate at a queer-friendly disco in Brighton, and explained how I'd felt guilty ever since. "Don't worry," he said, "they weren't gay." Their sexualities, though, were only part of the issue. Constantly hearing "queer" as an insult and "gay" as a catch-all pejorative for anything insufficiently masculine (including transgender behaviour) I'd internalised this hatred, turning it into all-consuming self-loathing before firing it at seemingly easy targets, hoping this would deflect attention from me.
Simultaneously, I tried to conform to whatever I thought The Normal was. This meant not only suppressing my gender identity, with consequent lifelong mental health problems, but also not reading in my spare time, not pursuing my interest in art and not displaying sensitivity towards anyone else, as all these things were branded "gay". It took years to catch up, intellectually and personally: I can never know, but I strongly suspect I was not the only one who felt like this. Luckily, I did not help to cause, or meet a tragedy like Dominic's, but this cycle, unbroken, damages so many lives - not just lesbian, gay, bi, trans or queer lives - in so many different ways, and it's sad that it takes something as awful as the suicide of a bright young man to highlight the need for change.
What stopped me from taking my own life, like Dominic, Jamey and others? By Year 11, knowing that the end was in sight, but before that, finding people in the media who'd worked through similar issues. With reasons to look, I dug deep for inspirational trans people as none were prominent, but just before I left school, Dana International won Eurovision. I hate all Eurovision songs (bar Telex's) and hadn't watched, but her victory gave pupils a positive platform to share their opinions on transsexualism, and I was amazed to hear confident, popular confident classmates sincerely express their acceptance. If only this had happened before all this damage to myself and others, I thought, but it helped me find strength to come out as a cross-dresser soon after, putting me on my path towards self-acceptance, and sharing my experiences with others.
But no attempt to provide positive trans media representation ever quite assuages my guilt about what I did in my symbiotic, mutually destructive teenage circles. These memories still make me less willing to go into schools to evoke the discussion I desperately needed as a Section 28-era teenager, not just because I worry about which questions or actions I'd provoke, but also as I'd feel like a hypocrite. Our school's culture silenced everyone, including me, and I was too afraid to challenge the heteronormative bullying that filled the space: the long-term effect is to make me reluctant to work towards rectifying the situation even though I have the personal, psychological and intellectual distance that neither my classmates nor I had aged fifteen.
So whatever its limitations, Diversity Role Models can provide a structure for those wanting to plug the gap, setting healthier terms for debate and bringing personal contact to teens who may be too scared or confused to seek it for themselves. Even if it takes a generation or two to change the environment, it's a good start - for everyone.

Something is missing from the Brexit debate
Inside Westminster, few seem to have noticed or care about the biggest question mark in the Brexit talks.
What do we know about the government’s Brexit strategy that we didn’t before? Not much, to be honest.
Theresa May has now said explicitly what her red lines on European law and free movement of labour said implicitly: that Britain is leaving the single market. She hasn’t ruled out continuing payments from Britain to Brussels, but she has said that they won’t be “vast”. (Much of the detail of Britain’s final arrangement is going to depend on what exactly “vast” means.) We know that security co-operation will, as expected, continue after Brexit.
What is new? It’s Theresa May’s threat to the EU27 that Britain will walk away from a bad deal and exit without one that dominates the British newspapers.
“It's May Way or the Highway” quips City AM“No deal is better than a bad deal” is the Telegraph’s splash, “Give us a deal… or we walk” is the Mirror’s. The Guardian opts for “May’s Brexit threat to Europe”, and “May to EU: give us fair deal or you’ll be crushed” is the Times’ splash.
The Mail decides to turn the jingoism up to 11 with “Steel of the new Iron Lady” and a cartoon of Theresa May on the white cliffs of Dover stamping on an EU flag. No, really. The FT goes for the more sedate approach: “May eases Brexit fears but warns UK will walk away from 'bad deal’” is their splash.
There’s a lot to unpack here. The government is coming under fire for David Davis’ remark that even if Parliament rejects the Brexit deal, we will leave anyway. But as far as the Article 50 process is concerned, that is how it works. You either take the deal that emerges from the Article 50 process or have a disorderly exit. There is no process within exiting the European Union for a do-over.
The government’s threat to Brussels makes sense from a negotiating perspective. It helps the United Kingdom get a better deal if the EU is convinced that the government is willing to suffer damage if the deal isn’t to its liking. But the risk is that the damage is seen as so asymmetric – and while the direct risk for the EU27 is bad, the knock-on effects for the UK are worse – that the threat looks like a bad bluff. Although European leaders have welcomed the greater clarity, Michel Barnier, the lead negotiator, has reiterated that their order of priority is to settle the terms of divorce first, agree a transition and move to a wider deal after that, rather than the trade deal with a phased transition that May favours.
That the frontpage of the Irish edition of the Daily Mail says “May is wrong, any deal is better than no deal” should give you an idea of how far the “do what I want or I shoot myself” approach is going to take the UK with the EU27. Even a centre-right newspaper in Britain's closest ally isn't buying that Britain will really walk away from a bad deal.
Speaking of the Irish papers, there’s a big element to yesterday’s speech that has eluded the British ones: May’s de facto abandonment of the customs union and what that means for the border between the North and the South. “May’s speech indicates Border customs controls likely to return” is the Irish Times’ splash, “Brexit open border plan “an illusion”” is the Irish Independent’s, while “Fears for jobs as ‘hard Brexit’ looms” is the Irish Examiner’s.
There is widespread agreement in Westminster, on both sides of the Irish border and in the European Union that no-one wants a return to the borders of the past. The appetite to find a solution is high on all sides. But as one diplomat reflected to me recently, just because everyone wants to find a solution, doesn’t mean there is one to be found.

This is part of why young people are leaving, too. Ignorance. Coal is a DEAD energy form. We are crumbling because of our stubbornness on this huge issue. Rather than do anything to invigorate our economy, we bicker and fight over fucking coal. The steel mills are dead, the coal mines are dead. We have nothing left. We need to evolve or die, period. Obama, democrats, republicans, etc didn't do anything to fuck our state up, WE did with our stubbornness. Fracking might be lucrative in the super short term, but Coal is never going to be what it was. We need to stop blaming right or blaming left and playing bureaucratic bullshit. We need some bold leadership to try some new things, because this is not working. West Virginia needs to get something going and be the best at something in this country. Maybe go balls deep into producing affordable solar panels or something. Lead the way on something. We're falling further and further behind our fellow states in everything but heroin addiction.
We can be better than this.
Maybe go balls deep into producing affordable solar panels or something.
Just moved here from Toledo, Ohio. They are doing that very thing. It's an uphill battle due to competition with Japan and Germany because they were smart enough to invest in it a long time ago. But it is turning around. Wouldn't mind seeing that here, or more wind power. Was so happy to see them when I moved back.
[–]Isakill 2 points3 points (0 children)
My wife and I are looking at 21 Acres to set up a tiny house running off of solar. With the eventual goal to be off grid.
I really wish someone in the legislative branch would pull their head out of their ass and bring those industries here for R&D/manufacture.
I don't see that happening. Even though my wife's cousin is a state senator. And other members are pretty heavy into politics. All of them are chanting the state mantra right now.
[–]jeepdave 7 points8 points (43 children)
Here is the issue. This is not a easy state for traditional industry. Building plants to produce anything is expensive just because of geography. Logistics are a nightmare. I came for the frac because it is a light at the end of the coal mine. This is a natural resource state. Coal, ore, gas, and timber are what this state will produce. The only things this state will make any kind of significant money on. Tourism could be great, the state is beautiful. But the biggest issue again is logistics.
We will never be a high tech or manufacturing hub. It's not in the cards. I say let people leave. Honestly a lower population would help a state that cannot support its population due to a lack of work.
[–]itsaCONSPIRACYlol 11 points12 points (4 children)
I really have to disagree on the potential for high tech jobs. The only thing setting us back in that department is a lack of education and training. We could absolutely be training West Virginians to develop software and maintain computer hardware. The biggest reason most individuals don't seek that kind of training and education is that it's expensive as fuck and this is basically the poorest state in the nation. I would be surprised if you could find a miner who couldn't pass the A+ certification after receiving training for it. God forbid we educate people and give them job training for free, though. We might give them the idea that society actually gives half a shit about them.
Really though, the best thing that could happen to this state would be to legalize marijuana and tax it reasonably.
[–]Endyo 4 points5 points (0 children)
I would love to see the state become a center for tech jobs. Sitting in the middle of places that seem filled with tech jobs like DC, Columbus, and Pittsburgh, it could be a relatively short trip for a place where costs are much lower (particularly compared to DC).
It won't help the good-ol-boys who fight for coal because it's a good paying job that doesn't require a college degree, but that's never going to change. When you're banking on a waning resource and don't really have much infrastructure beyond that, you're kind of just sitting on a bunch of cheap land. That can mean something though because West Virginia is beautiful and as people flock to neighboring cities for work they're going to want to be able to get back to nature, but I don't know how far that would go. Especially when every time you get off the highway it just looks like the every other burnt out nowhere with empty buildings, fast food restaurants, and gas stations.
At the end of the day if West Virginia is going to shake the shackles of coal and be something more than a husk of stripped out mines and abandoned mining towns, it's going to have to have to be progressive. Either we'll see people wake up and understand this or wither away until the whole state is another Detroit. The tech world is the future and probably one of the few things that will survive the test of time without getting outsourced or significantly downsized, so building that infrastructure would be perfect start to a sort of 'clean slate' initiative. And infrastructure is one of the few areas you can go to and still have a good paying job without high end training or education.
[–]Isakill 4 points5 points (0 children)
One of my childhood friend's son LEFT COLLEGE. Had pretty much a free ride at Marshall from his grandparents and parents. Extremely smart kid, kept a 4.0 in school. Why? A coal recruiter came to him and said, (paraphrasing) "Fuck an education, I can promise you by this time next year you can be making 6 figures"
He basically ruined any chance at a real career because some asshole flashed dollar signs in his face. We could certainly have a high tech industry here in WV. It's not that hard. We already have a large truck driving base, so I don't see why jeepdave is saying it's a logistics problem. But I've been saying this for years. WV's problems are WV's fault. And disgorgex said it quite well.
WVU has a good comp sci program and are pumping out tons of semi-competitent people every year. Problem is lack of jobs, what jobs are here pay shit, and even if you do land a good gov contract job like northrop grumman you're making money you can't use because there's nothing to do here unless you are 100% balls deep into nature hobbies.
[–]iam-electro 0 points1 point (0 children)
I have worked at a few mines doing IT consulting some of it above and some below ground on communications stuff. I can honestly say most of those guys could not pass an A+ certification even after completing the courses and even if they could they would not be able to troubleshoot an issue. I'm not saying there are not competent people working there as there are many great people, but a lot of the guys work there because they were raised in a mining family and that is what they do. The best way I can explain it is that they put just enough effort in to graduate HS or quit and get a GED because screw it I'm going to the mines. They hit 18 years old take the mining safety courses get a redhat and go to work for a mine directly or a subcontractor for at least 6 months to get enough hours in to get their blackhat. Now they have 3 choices stay with the sub, work a union or non union mine. Keep in mind at this point this person is 18-19 years old and cam make upwards of 90k per year but the average for my area is 75-80k as a laborer if they work for the mines directly. My younger brother is an electrician in the mines and has only a GED and made 140k last year and has averaged over 110k for the last 10 years. Where in the world can a person take the A+ cert or have a degree in CS and make that kind of money within a year of obtaining it? The money the miners make is the biggest issue at stake here and part of the reason the communities will not let the issues go lightly. They would move on to another job gladly if it paid as well.
[–]jayrod422[S] 9 points10 points (4 children)
In my option the most similar to state geographically but politically opposite is Vermont. Its all mountains. Vermonts main economic engine is tourism, has no coal mining, and is MUCH better off financially than WV. From hiking, to skiing, to offroading, whatever. West Virginia has some places that blow away anything up there but doesn't really advertise it or build up the support economy around it. Coal is dead as all the power plants are moving to natural gas and the natural gas drill baby drill boom is over.
I know there a few tourist attractions in WV but they all really do a piss poor job of catering to the people who coming out there. Every time I go out to the MNF, Snow Shoe, or New River area I meet people from EVERYWHERE and EVERYONE says how nice it but there isn't much for them in terms of amenities (restaurants, hotels, etc) and culture (art, music, history, etc).
With the ways thing are down there I think West Virginia needs to die and stay dead for at least a generation and then it will be "rediscovered".
[–]skarface6three hours from everything -3 points-2 points (0 children)
Vermont is also closer to a lot of people interested in being touristy and seeing nearby places than WV is. It's also a lot smaller.
[–]Owenleejoeking 2 points3 points (0 children)
The people the leave though are educated skilled workers with degrees or certificates and job prospects.
Those left behind are far less likely to have those things. They won't or can't leave because of poor economic conditions in the home- a career that's not in demand or can't afford the risk of moving without a job lined up.
Those left are a drain on social programs and if we follow you and just say fuck it! Let them leave- who is going to be left to pay taxes?
I moved to New Mexico within a month of my college graduation for job security. I'm a petroleum engineer (so frac baby frac) but Wv is gas driven and the price of gas is far worse than crude.
But it could be. Just look at the tech hub in Fairmont. We have DoD links, FBI, NASA and it's booming.
As for people leaving. The ones leaving are the young and the smart who realize they will never meet their potential here. So don't drive out your best, leaving only the snake handlers behind to collect welfare.

Boise and Fargo have thriving tech sectors. They are about as far off the beaten path as you can get. Yet there they are with their tech sectors.
[–]jeepdave 0 points1 point (14 children)
Good for them?
[–]jayond 0 points1 point (13 children)
I'm just saying other small states in way off locations have developed tech sectors. WV could too.
[–]jeepdave -1 points0 points (12 children)
Those areas are quit highly populate in comparison. And have younger populations.
[–]jayond 0 points1 point (11 children)
Fargo goes out of its way to get people to move there. If WV had jobs, people might return home or move to places like Wheeling where Pittsburgh isn't far away for cultural activities. The government in charge is just letting the state decay as anyone who can leave, does. Pittsburgh reinventing itself. WV can but won't.
[–]jeepdave -1 points0 points (10 children)
Pittsburgh is a shithole. I'd rather have wv the way it is currently than have it decay into someplace like Pittsburgh. WV doesn't need a tech sector. It's rich in natural resources.

Fuck that. WV is a black hole of despair and decay. I'm a West Virginia boy but I only visit now. Pittsburgh is vibrant and interesting with things to do every day. I miss the convenience of Parkersburg but I don't miss the vibe.
[–]jeepdave 0 points1 point (8 children)
Have you been to Pittsburgh? We must have different opinions on shit holes.
Fuck coal seriously. So much Obama hate and big $$ from the coal industry to change the minds of ignorant people who'd rather listen to their boss than form their own opinion.
Keep hating on people who want to use something other than coal. It's hypocritical as people sit back coughing up a black lung, "Git R done, love me some coal ye boy" Cough cough, excuse me can you hand me my fucking lung.
Realize it's the states main source of revenue, we need to diversify into better more modern, and more financially rewarding fields.
I seriously don't get "coal culture". I'm from here, lost many peopl in the mines and those that didn't died from black lung.
Do you honestly think you're great great great grandparents who settled here would work in the mines if there was a better job out there? They weren't killing themselves, literally, because "fuck yeah coal". They did it out of need.
We need to seriously break this culture.

Reminds me of the old story Ted Kennedy walking down the street and seeing a young boy with a box of puppies. Kennedy asked the boy what kind of puppies they were and the boy said "these are liberal puppies". A couple days later Ted happened upon the boy and his box of puppies and again asked what kind of puppies they were. the boy said "these are conservative puppies." Taken aback, Kenendy said, "but a couple days ago you said they were Liberal puppies". To which the boy replied "yeah, but now their eyes are open."
That's how my change came about, my eyes were opened.

Every conservative I know who used to be a lib (I was a teenage democrat) shares the common trait of honesty. The more honest you are, the harder it is to swallow leftism.

I actually did exactly that. When I was first able to, I registered as Democrat and voted for Carter in '76. My parents were die-hard "D," as were my older brothers and sister. It seemed natural, all of the kumbayaa and good times from Uncle Sugar. Sounded great.
Shortly thereafter, events led me to understand, "what the *hell* did I just do?!" I had just assisted in voting a lame, barely competent ideologue to the White House, one who was clearly out of his depth.
In particular, it was my decision to join the military that led me to a big "C." Many of my relatives served quite honorably, and of course as kids we were all led to understand this was a viable option for a directionless young man.
And that's when my "peers" (loosely speaking) from High School (in a *very* Liberal Suburb just outside of Boston) began to speak to me as if I had announced I would be a toothless hillbilly as my life's choice and had just gnawed the head off of a live infant right in front of them. The sheer nasty attitude was oppressive.
In fact, it was the same stuff you hear Radical Liberals say today. Exactly the same.
So I engaged in some self-analysis and, as you say, began to read. And I discovered that as a class of people, Democrats really stood for nothing. They were, and are, nothing more than cynical opportunists who cared not one whit about me or mine. End of story, I re-registered and never looked back.
In the final analysis, I made the proper choice. I know who I am and what I stand for. God, duty, honor, country. Respect. Decency. Hard work with the rewards it brings you.
Had I remained a Democrat and fully bought into it all, I would have likely have rejected God; that Duty is a fool's errand; that our Country is racist and misogynist and damned near the "new" Nazis; Respect and Decency are provisional if it serves your base purposes. And hard work? Why bother, when we clearly all "owe" everyone else something?
I ask Democrats on occasion, "what do you stand for, exactly?" The responses are always fascinating, because they never include actual core values, it's virtually always a list of Liberal talking points. Cheap, hollow, devoid of meaning; the cause du jour.
I don't hate Democrats, I rather pity them. What kind of a life is it, to believe in nothing save what your handlers tell you to?
Anyways, 'nuff said. Apologies for the extended ramble.

Like most who graduated college in 1972, I was a Lefty.
The change came sometime prior to the 1976 election. The driving force behind this change was a 1-2 punch: Solzhenitsyn and Hayek.
Solzhenitsyn demonstrated that Soviet Communists treated their people similarly to German Nazis.
Hayek made the intellectual argument that linked these two criminal ideologies together.
If Communism and Fascism/Nazism are not opposites, what is the opposite of these totalitarian movements? Ordered Liberty as outlined in the Declaration and Constitution.

It happened to me, too! In 1991, after 4 years at the U of TX with a degree in Speech Communication (specializing in Intercultural Comm) & enough hours of philosophy classes to have an unofficial minor, my liberal brainwashing was complete. Then, something that seemed so very small & unassuming happened. I watched an episode of Murphy Brown. (Yes, I know I'm "dating" myself by revealing this!) In this particular episode, a speech Dan Quayle had made about TV/Media "glorifying" unwed mothers, using the show, Murphy Brown as an example was actual aired on Murphy Brown. What the VP meant as an example of media was completely taken out of context as an assault on an actual "person". They used his speech in that episode "as if" he were criticizing an ACTUAL unwed mother - Murphy Brown! This was the proverbial grain of sand that began to irritate me enough to form the pearl of Conservatism. professors at UT were ALL about "questioning authority" - as long as the authority had an "R" by their name. But what they didn't realize is I took that to heart & began to look at the media & how they manipulated, edited & portrayed everything. My complete "conversion" took many years...but with the guidance of radio personalities like Dennis Prager (whose mantra: "I prefer clarity to agreement" really hit home with me), by the late 90s, I became a diehard Conservative. I'll also never forget the words of one of my college boyfriend's father: "You don't become a conservative until you have something to conserve." At the time, I rolled my eyes as I thought what a selfish, greedy man he was. But years later, I finally "got it".

It's actually less to do with experiences, changing peer groups, and all the rest cited above. It is far simpler and much more physical. As liberals age, their spines stiffen, and this makes it increasingly difficult to keep their heads stuck up their asses!

P.S.: Meant to add that the "defining moment" for me was a trip to Israel. Even as a Christian, i was blown away by how honest, decent, peace and human rights loving the Israelis are. All peoples, religions, sexual preferences, etc., are accepted and even taken care of by the government.
And how essentially all the brutal Islamic theocracies surrounding them are NONE of these,brutally suppressing all dissent and other religions, keeping their people poor and uneducated, and using "hate Israel" as a pathetic distraction to the masses' real problems in these Islamic states--their own governments.
So when i got home and started noticing news and feature articles about the Mideast which previously i hadn't paid much attention to, i was absolutely astounded to see how the "mainstream" media represents the situation there--the murderous terror-loving radical Islamists are somehow the "good guys", while the democratic tolerant peaceful Westernized great U.S. ally Israel has become "bad"!?
How the Left which ostensibly espouses human rights, tolerance, free speech, factual approach to history, etc., etc. has come to support the Islamic terrorists is perhaps the greatest political mystery of my fairly long life, since their brutal intolerant behaviors would seem to fly in the face of very principle the liberals claim is important to then.
And then to read repeatedly the distortion, biased reporting, total mischaracterization, and outright lies written regularly about Israel I(NY Times, TIME magazine, Reuters, Atlantic Monthly, Huff Post,, etc.etc.), one begins to realize how fundamentally dishonest the Lefties have become in service of their now badly distorted ideology.
So that's how I left liberalism and am embarrassed by the many years i spent believing pretty much everything the "mainstream" media *(esp. The Times) wrote! I've now seen so much distortion, bias and outright dishonesty in the Times that i believe virtually NOTHING they write, and have stopped subscribing long ago.
Sad indeed.

As Winston Churchill famously said, "If you're not a liberal when you're young, you have no heart; if you don't become a Conservative once you're older, you have no head"!
That's what happens to many who are naturally drawn to liberalism in their youth, academic days, etc. The liberal narrative SOUNDS appealing, about helping the less fortunate, being inclusive, tolerant of others, peace-loving, etc., etc.
And indeed these are all commendable. Problem is that the New Left has basically coopted liberalism and turned it on its head, so that the strident Leftists of the world observe NONE of the principles they originally deemed important, like truth, fairness, tolerance, freedom of speech, honesty, etc. etc.
In the Left's zeal to embrace political correctness, they've basically become a bunch of liars, whose arrogance is reflected in how hard they try to silence any voices pointing out their dishonesty. They've become the New Fascists (try to speak on behalf of Israel on ANY major Eastern U.S campus!).
With their narrative, Islamic radical Palestinian terrorists are "freedom fighters", courageous peace-loving democratic little Israel is the "bad guy" in the Mideast (while Assad slaughters thousands, etc.!), Obama really is competent and honest and a good President and wasn't elected just because he's black, blacks don't need to do anything to change their culture and lifestyles 'cause all their problems are caused by racism, immigration should be totally unregulated and those who broke our laws by sneaking in here should be rewarded with citizenship, global warming has been definitely proved, Eric Holder isn't the most corrupt law-breaking Atty. Gen. in history, Obama minions didn't rig any election boxes, the Muslim Brotherhood truly seeks peace, etc., etc., etc.
So if your embedded self-identification as "liberal" and you feel you need to
agree with your like-minded colleagues and friends and NOT be considered uncool or unsmart or unsophisticated, you cling to these absurd lies desperately, since they're all part of the official Leftist p.c. playbook.
And if your emotions cause you to cling to lies, fashionable or not, you've become a liar.
And that my friends, is where the liberal Left is today. Very sad, considering their noble origins and their corrupt degeneration.

The commenter formerly known as chuck. I apparently did something wrong when signing in to the new system and was told that "chuck" was already being used.
My family was always Republican but as a young person I noticed that the cool people were always liberal and the liberals always supported the cool cause of the day. I used to think "if only the Republicans would just be more cool.
When I was about thirty I subscribed to the Wall Street Journal and would turn to the opinion pages first thing every day. It didn't take long to see that the conservative columnists simply followed the facts where they lead, but the liberals who were on the opposite page, would almost always twist their arguments into absurd contortions of logic to support their pre-ordained conclusion. It wasn't long before "what was seen couldn't be unseen".

Great commenting but....I'm have a bit of a problem identifying 'precisely' what part(s) of the democrats political platforms, say for the past eight decades, opened your eyes to your conversions?
Federalist factions have long been involved and has thus far never gained any sustainable success. It seems to me having followed PJM for awhile, that it is the old federalists movement coming to life once more -- right?

How 'bout trying to remove the plank about Jerusalem being the eternal historical capital of Israel just before the Dem's convention? And just who do
all those idiotic braindead Obamaslurps think was behind that decision, whiich ultimately had to be rescinded by suspicious "voice vote" at the Convention!

Your comments re-enforce my points. Your comment about Jerusalem is a religious point and not a political point! Now if you'd read at least the information I posted via those links, you'd learn that the GOP dilema of a split party today is much like that of the early history of the GOP. Being such, how can one so easily convert to the GOP NOT knowing its factual history and seeing its once again having to prostitute its current core values for votes OR become self defeating. For the GOP its most likely a repeat of its early history and all the 'converts' don't have a clue!

Raised during the Cold War "in the shadow of the Berlin Wall", with the icy breath of Communism breathing down our necks, I could not but be in favor of American exceptionalism and America as a military superpower. Socially, however, I was a liberal. My complete transformation to conservatism occurred when I became a California college professor in my mid-twenties. I realized that the American university is the "theatre of the absurd", a stage where liberalism plays out as parody -- a parody so surreal that it defies all reason. I became a conservative, no if's or but's. Alas, I've paid, and continue to pay, a high price for objecting to academe's obsession with sustainability, "diversity", and racial preferences. The academic left will not tolerate conservatives among its ranks.

Raised in the same environment, among leftists hiding out under the American military umbrella while publicly reviling all that the USA stands for, I couldn't help but be what is here called a "right wing extremist" (but then, everyone who's not a hardcore socialist is called that in Europe by now).
That said, I fully realise that to go from our current system of government controlled everything to a libertarian society isn't something that's possible without a long transition period.
People don't have the funds to pay for their own retirement for example, they've never needed to, nor have they ever had the disposable income to set aside such funds as they were always taxed into oblivion.
Same with all the other government programs intended to keep people wards of the state all their life.
If they're ever going to be dismantled it will have to be done very gradually, in small increments, in order to give people time to adjust their life and lifestyles to the new reality.
Plunging someone into a system without government pensions, government sponsored healthcare, government sponsored public transportation, government paid social security, disability pensions, etc. etc. while they've never saved a penny towards them, having that penny instead taxed and turned into those government programs, is tantamount to betrayal and murder, all but the youngest who have as yet a lifetime to produce their own funds will end up penniless, starving, incapable of paying even a visit to their family doctors, and inevitably dead very quickly.
I weep at the lost friends and family relations, seeing even my parents failing to realise that the party they've voted for all their lives was sliding ever further left over the last decade while I jumped ship.

That said, there's much amiss with libertarians and other conservatives as well.
Many are just as intolerant of people with different ideas and especially lifestyles as are their leftwing peers.
I'm sick of the amount of deregatory commentary about homosexuals, transgender people, nudists, people who were clothes that are out of the mainstream ca. 1850 that keeps appearing on sites like this one.
I'm appalled at the number of times commentators here and on conservative blogs scream for 'decency laws', banning of specific modes of dress, etc. etc.. They're no different from those calling for hate crime laws to get at those who disagree with them.

changers can’t seem to put it away that easily... after 9-11 the day after- a white dove died in my kitchen- a message from the other side- I knew the world would never be the same- I went on a forum to see how my fellow Americans had reacted to 9-11- and I met conservative voices-I made fun of GWB and one poster asked me "why do you hate him more than Osama Bin Laden? I was going to call my book of changes "Letters form Nikki- a Cry from Cyberspace or How I Learned to Love G Bush" --I did research on Islam-and history- I spoke to Fakestinians and Muslims - I heard the hate- then I saw the reasons behind it- I was shocked and saddened to see Jews blamed for 9-11 and not the Muslims who did it- and so I became more "Jewish" more Zionist to defend and protect my own- and I saw the heart of Islam is blacker than the stone they kiss- I could not deny or look away from that horror show, and I knew GWB was right to describe the current political opposition to USA, as the AXIS OF EVIL- he was prophetic not a fool- I am not sure I am a conservative or GOP but I can never again vote for a Democrat- that our people, even some of my own family chose OBlamer once was bad, but twice? broke my heart

I find it interesting that a lot of these points can apply not just to political switches, but to political awakening in general. I experienced something similar--a questioning of the established factors, a curiosity about the full story, and a general disgust at the behavior of a Democrat--when I was ten years old. The Lewinsky scandal had just broken, and the paper reprinted sections of the Starr report, which Mom wouldn't let me read. When I bugged my parents with questions about the story, they finally told me that the President had been fooling around with a woman he wasn't married to.
At the time, I was only vaguely aware of politics. My parents listened to Rush, but I didn't really pay attention; I was too busy with fourth grade. But the idea that the President of the United States would do something so cheap and dishonest just creeped me out. By the time I was twelve, and the Florida recount hit, I was resolved to never vote for a Democrat. And to this day, I haven't.

gopro on an RC, cgi in the main video.
no offence man, but damn that is so obviously fake
[–][deleted] -1 points0 points * (0 children)
Physics and obvious CGI aside, the thing that tipped me off instantly is the corny uplifting music. This reeks of viral advertisement.
Consider the following photo from their website:
Note how emphasized the Wii Remote (proper capitalization, surprised there isn't a TM) and HTC Smartphone are in the design when these are merely data logging devices. Certainly what must be incredibly powerful motors running the wings are more important to the design? But no, look at the fancy gadgets we used!!!
If this is viral advertising though, which I believe it is, I am astonished by the level of detail put into designing this whole project (by which I mean creating all of this fake background for a viral video).
More parts of their project involving brands: and their use of I think GoPro cameras (another company we know loves viral marketing).
[–]Wazowski 7 points8 points (0 children)
It's definitely not an elaborate hoax.
It's just the regular kind of hoax.
Well, it's not just him pumping his arms...
[–]ttoyooka 2 points3 points (3 children)
This is correct, it's not human arm powered. If I understood the design correctly, it's human arm controlled, but the power is provided by electrical motors.
Someone in my Facebook feed completely missed that, and I was like "ಠ_ಠ"
[–]phillyharper 0 points1 point (1 child)
Yeah what an idiot. Sure bet he's glad you were there to correct him.
Let me clarify. It's a person that I respect as an educated person, who has told me in the past that writing short summaries (tl;drs) at the beginning of links is wrong because people should read the whole article instead of being passive.
So, when he commented about arm power I was disappointed.
[–]rivermandan 4 points5 points (1 child)
oh my, I just read the article... it's like the poor writer actually thinks this is real :/ excellent job, techcrunch
[–]aionskull 2 points3 points (0 children)
I am very amused at how many people think this is real... I'm sure the creators are too.
[–]IgnatiousReilly 1 point2 points (0 children)
People need to be more careful with their facebook comments. Someone who lists himself as the director of technology investment for a financial data provider believes this is real (or, at least, mostly real). If I relied on him in that respect and saw his comment, I'd stop relying on him real fast.
[–]ttoyooka 1 point2 points (3 children)
Personally, there's nothing here that I feel any need to be skeptical about. The technology all looks plausible to me. It may yet be a hoax, but for now, I choose to believe it, and I think this guy is awesome.
And if it is a hoax, I think it's all plausible enough that someone out there should try to make it for real, because I think it would probably work.
[–]HappyFox 2 points3 points (2 children)
I disagree, the power needed to flap a wing that long would be considerable. The wings are effectivly 12m long levers. To move them that powerfully the motors and "shoulder" joints would have to quite a bit larger and more substantial that what he is showing.
Also at around 0:35 just after take off, he is barely moving forward. He would have hardly any airflow over his wings to provide lift.
At the same time his legs are hanging down and the motors and batteries are on his back. This means that his center of gravity would be very far forward. Why doesn't he simply tumble forward? There is no tail, barring the one hanging down between his legs, to stabilize the craft.
It would be fairly hard make a working example of this, as even birds have a long body with a tail to stabilize themselves, which this design lacks.
[–]ttoyooka -2 points-1 points (1 child)
I can't disagree with you. I don't have the engineering and aeronautical experience to say for sure. Your point about stability is an excellent one; I find it quite convincing. Otherwise, the technology and materials might also be out of reach, but not that far out of reach, I think.
[–]HappyFox -1 points0 points (0 children)
Oh it's not out of reach at all! Just it will look like this : youtube as apposed to what we saw in the op. Note the large tail and weight far down to make it stable in flight. Also the video doesn't look like it was CG. :-D
[–]aionskull 1 point2 points * (4 children)
It's CGI, very fake. Look at his other videos, this one in particular: youtube link
It's very clear the girl is not holding anything other then a tracking marker, the entire device is computer drawn. It's very well done, but it's very fake.
Edit: we are just a few days away from April Fools... I would not be surprised to see a confession from them on that day.
[–]saranowitz[S] 1 point2 points (1 child)
Why would they need to fake that particular video? There is nothing complex in it.
That one doesn't look fake to me.
[–]aionskull 3 points4 points (0 children)
Because no-one has made this device... it doesn't exist as a real object. The servo motor sounds are also, noticeably faked. Again, this is all very well done... but its special effects, so much of the videos are not real.
In the first test flight, there is an obvious give away.. the camera pans down to cut between the real useless kite prop, and the CGI flying.
Re-Watch the videos, look for subtle lighting deviations.
[–]DrEvyl666 -1 points0 points (1 child)
If that's CGI, these guys are amazing. Watch the other videos.

I don't understand how it's possible to use motion control to move pixels on a TV screen while using that same motion control to drive motors that assist in the flapping of wings requires that the whole thing is a hoax.

Initially Wired Magazine was taken by this hoax as well: Original Wired article. Then they edited the title to make it clear that this was just a claim, not a Wired-verified event.
Now Wired is getting very suspicious, and posted this followup article. In it they say that the resume of Jarno Smeets doesn't check out.
The good news is that I bet a friend of mine a dollar that this was a hoax. Soon I'll be a dollar richer!

[–]TaviRider 0 points1 point (0 children)
If this turns out to be real, I won't be particularly impressed anyway. A fixed wing hang glider can make trips like that under the right wind conditions. It could be that the flapping was unnecessary for the flight.
Still, it looks fake to me.

With carbon nano-tubes we could make an apparatus that would be light enough, and generate enough lift that we could do it...currently though...not a chance.

The Descendants was a complex movie, but the word for Nebraska, Alexander Payne's latest outing, is good intentioned. Not since Preston Sturges' Sullivan's Travels has a director been able to insinuate the presence of so much goodness in such a stark American Gothic setting. The fact that the film is shot in black and white is almost confusing. It adds a nourish quality that at first belies the emotions at hand. It's like the Macguffin that never amounts to much. Nebraska starts with Woody Grant (Bruce Dern) and his son David (Will Forte) leaving Billings, Montana for Lincoln, Nebraska and the beaten town of Hawthorne where much of the action takes place is filled with the kind of freaks and criminals that populate Coen Brothers movies like Fargo (one of these, a garage owner named Ed Pegram played by Stacey Keach, allows Payne to place two veteran actors in a showdown). "See Us Fo Your House Loan,"reads the highway ad for one of Hawthorne's banks. But then the plot takes over and Payne demonstrates the ability to turn caricature into something more universal. Woody, who is suffering from a mixture of wet brain and senile dementia, has received a sweepstakes notice sent out by a magazine subscription service and is convinced he's won a million dollars. It's apparent to David that it's all a merchandising scheme, but he goes along with his father's delusion, realizing that "the guys just needs something to live for." The role of Woody is a brilliant creation since it cuts a large enough swathe to encompass the delusion, the life-lie, the pipe dreams that are the essence of the human condition. David humors his dad, but also uses the journey they set out on to get to know the man who continues to be an enigma. At one point David asks, "Did you ever want a farm like your dad." "I don't remember and it doesn't matter" is the only response. Woody and David exhibit the mixture of estrangement and intimacy that characterizes many father/son relationships, even though this pair are particularly lacking in communication skills. The coup de grace lies in the discovery of Woody's simple, but touching motive. Suffice it to say that while he doesn't end up getting what he's come for, he gets everything he wants.

Under U.S. immigration laws, authorities may deport or remove legal and illegal immigrants under a number of reasons from Lakemoor Illinois.
Typical Reasons for Removal from Lakemoor Illinois
Most deportations happen after arrest for criminal charges. Deportation may also happen for entry into the U.S. without authorization, but it is less common. If you have been arrested or convicted of a crime and are facing deportation from Lakemoor IL, your best bet would be to read about any remedies you may have.
Crimes May Result in Deportation from Lakemoor IL
Both legal and illegal immigrants may be subject to mandatory deportation for committing some crimes in Lakemoor, IL.
Individuals who are in the United States for over 7 years or have reasons to seek asylum in the United States may be able to prevent being deported or removed. Some cities and states also have "safe harbor" laws that encourage state and local officials not to report individuals to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) unless Federal laws specifically compel them to. If you present your case via LegalMatch's intake system, Lakemoor IL lawyers can evaluate your case and present the best possible defense against removal.
