Shift Flowchart Shapes Automatically!
Visio 2010 offers several new features to streamline flowcharting and business process diagramming.
One of these features automatically shifts shapes out of the way when you add a step in the middle of a flow!
If you’ve used older versions of Visio, you’ll know that inserting a step in the middle of a process requires a number of steps. Move downstream shapes out of the way. Disconnect a connector. Drop a new shape. Connect the old connector to the new shape. Connect the new shape to the rest of the flow. Phew! If you have to do this over and over, it gets tedious.
Visio 2010 helps out a lot in that it detects shape insertion and automatically shifts all the downstream shapes for you. While it’s best viewed live, in the video that accompanies this article, here’s a static view of how it happens.
You drag a new shape over an existing connector–the place at which you wish to insert a new step. Both ends of the connector turn bright red to indicate that you are inserting a step and splitting the connection:
When you let go of the shape, Visio splits the connector so the new shape has incoming and outgoing shapes. It also shifts all of the downstream shapes out of the way.
Visio also helps when you delete shapes. Here the shape we just added has been deleted. See how the connection automatically heals? Two connectors plus a shape become one connector that spans the gap. Visio 2010 doesn’t automatically collapse the flowchart, though. It only expands when new shapes are added.
For some people, the new features might cause problems. This often happens when a custom Visio-based solution is in use that doesn’t expect any of the new behavior, since it didn’t exist when the solution was programmed.
If you go to File > Options > Advanced. In the Editing Options section, you’ll see three check boxes that let you switch connection options on and off:
If you like Visio 2010 articles like this, and instructional videos, be sure to check out my new book, which comes with an online version that includes an electronic version of the book, plus videos and audio clips that enhance your learning experience!

Virginia shooting: The attack left several people wounded, including House of Representatives Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

Virginia shooting: Members of Congress, Republican, were attacked by a gunman who opened fire at them during baseball practice near Washington early on Wednesday. The attack left several people wounded, including House of Representatives Majority Whip Steve Scalise. The attacker has now been taken into custody, Reuters reported. In conversation with news channel CNN, Representative Mo Brooks of Alabama said that the gunman was armed with a rifle and appeared to be a white male, “a little bit on the chubby side.” Brooks added that he saw the attacker only for a second, and that he was shooting from a chain link fence behind the third base position on the field where the congressional group was holding its morning practice.
“There must have been 50 to 100 shots fired,” he told CNN. “I hear Steve Scalise over near second base scream. He was shot,” said Brooks. He further added that he helped apply a tourniquet with his belt to a congressional staffer who was shot in the leg. “One of our security detail was shooting back, but it was our pistol versus the shooter’s rifle,” Brooks said. Reuters reports that Scalise’s position as whip in the Republican-controlled House makes him one of the most senior figures in Congress. Brooks is a representative from Louisiana.
Rep. Steve Scalise of Louisiana, a true friend and patriot, was badly injured but will fully recover. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.
US President Donald Trump, a Republican, expressed deep shock over the incident. Trump said he and Vice President Mike Pence were aware of the shooting and are monitoring developments closely. “We are deeply saddened by this tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with the members of Congress, their staffs, Capitol Police, first responders, and all others affected,” Trump said in a statement.

Kerala horror: Tribal youth beaten to death as mob clicks selfies
According to media reports, the incident took place on Thursday. The youth, accused of theft, has been identified as A Madhu. He was a resident of Kadukamanna tribal hamlet and belongs to an Adivasi community called 'Muduga' in Attappady forest range
In a shocking incident, a tribal youth was beaten to death by the locals in Palakkad district of Kerala while some of them were seen clicking selfies after thrashing the 27-year-old.
According to media reports, the incident took place on Thursday. The youth, accused of theft, has been identified as A Madhu. He was a resident of Kadukamanna tribal hamlet and belongs to an Adivasi community called 'Muduga' in Attappady forest range.
According to reports, the mob had tied his hands before thrashing him brutally.
Police said that the youth was thrashed by locals with sticks before he was handed over to the administration at 6:30 pm. He succumbed to injuries while he was being taken to a hospital.
What was more surprising that some from the mob were seen clicking selfies after thrashing the victim.
Reports say that the youth had stolen eatables and food packets.
Meanwhile, the local police has taken seven people into custody in connection with the case.
Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan condemned the incident. The CM said that he has directed the police to take strict action against the culprits.

Not banning the burka is the right move
The Conservative government has made it clear
that they have no intention of banning the practice of Muslim women
wearing burkas. It is heartening to hear the government promising not
to interfere with at least this much individual liberty.
Personally I find the burka to be unsettling. Not because it is a symbol of Muslim faith, it isn't really. The burka
is unsettling because it is often a symbol of feminine oppression. It
is a way to keep women isolated from the rest of society. It is a way
to keep them subservient.
Yet it isn't the place of the government to combat this particular travesty. As Liberal MP Marlene Jennings said:
"Canadian women have the right, if they want, to wear a burka. As a woman, clearly it makes me a little uncomfortable. But then
there are other practices that are perfectly legal and acceptable that
make people uncomfortable."
It may seem contradictory to accuse the burka
of being oppressive and say that people should have the choice to wear
it, but it isn't really. Some women may legitimately prefer to wear the
burka. They may do it for cultural, religious, or any other personal reason. In such a case the woman chooses her own isolation.
The harm comes from when a woman if pressured or forced to wear it by their husband or father. The general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, Nathalie Des Rosiers said it well when she said:
"It goes without saying they should not be subjected to pressures from their communities, but neither from their government."
The issue of the burka is an issue that we should face as a society. It is not an issue for the strong arm of the state.
Comments
Good comments. The burka bothers me a lot and I think is wrong and a dangerous sign of what may be happening. Yet the problem is not the burka itself and banning them is just wrong and would make things worse anyway.
Posted by: TM | 2010-01-29 9:02:03 AM
So then it should be permitted to allow one's face to be concealed on driver's licenses, passports or working in security such as airport security.
The suicidal concept of multiculturalism of course sees no problem with the idea that people coming here simply transplant their culture and language to a different geographical area. Keep in mind that some of these cultures believe strongly in and practise oppression of women, forced marriages (including child marriages) honour killings, killing homosexuals and those either converting to a different faith or rejecting all religions. Furthermore, burkas are a product of culture and not Islam.
Simply banning the burka will do little without a clear and strong policy for integrating immigrants into the host culture and society.

Muslim women should be free to wear their garb signifying sexual dhimmitude. And non-Muslims should be free to show scorn, wear Muhammad-head-bomb tea shirts, insult the "feelings" of Muslims, and or discriminate as they see fit in exercising their own property rights. Anything less is self-imposed Shariah.
This retrograde religion that indisputably leads to theocracy has inoculated the West. One can avoid thinking about the demographically inevitable cultural colonialism, but one can't avoid the anti-liberal ticking time bomb. As Pat Condell would say, Peace.

Ask any 10 year old what it means to be Canadian and you will get a blank look because they have no idea. Ask most adults and they will probably tell you how inclusive and accepting we are.
We bend over backwards to please every minority that has no interest in our history or intention to reform to our established traditions. Multiculture canadians means what ?. It certainly does not mean "when in Rome do as the Romans do".
In less than 40 years European decendants will be a minority and Islam will be the majority at the rate we are breeding today. Food for thought. What will it mean to be Canadian then ?.

Bare breasts were ruled non - obscene in 1991 at least in stodgy Ontario . Guess what - no bare tits on the street - damn it .. I`d guess that the burka will meet the same fate- not a sexy issue because a bunch of old white guys in black robes ruled them as boring and not particularily shocking [ although they are ] . Until the day comes when someone lights one of them up , inadvertently or not or someone gets killed from wearing one of these tents , then the law will step in for safety reasons . I wonder about the reaction if someone wore a Klu Klux Klan outfit to a NAACP event . Then of course all hell would break loose.

peterj, that is why I said it will take much more than simply banning the burka in order to integrate immigrants. The concept of multiculturalism and its fellow travellers (women studies, gender studies, Native studies et cetera) has much to do with our history not being taught. What is taught is revisionist history where every group (minorities, women, Natives etc.) is considered valid and a victim while the culture, values and traditions of those who founded and contributed to Canada's once greatness are demonised. Without an understanding of what it means to be Canadian (other than not being American) and of the blood, sweat and toil that made it possible, Canada becomes simply a piece of geography and there is nothing for immigrants to assimilate into. Is there any wonder why we now have immigrants and their descendants opting for a 7th century ideology with its culture and values while expecting to benefit from 21st century advances.

I believe we are on the same page, but we have to start somewhere , and burkas seems like a modest step to show some willingness to adapt to the host country and a new life.
daveh
I'm not sure the KLU KLUX KLAN outfit would fall into the same catagory simply because it has a hard definition as to what it stands for. Good points though. The freedom to wear what you want is the same and in a free country it should be allowed. Of course we are no longer a free country. What applies to the KKK should also apply to the Burka even if the definition is softer or only a custom. Much like a RCMP member wanting to join the Indian police force and insisting on his right to wear a stetson hat rather than a turban. Countries have rules of acceptance, if you dont like the rules then go back home. When in Rome do as the Romans do.
Posted by: peterj | 2010-01-30 1:30:00 PM
Alain, I agree completely on your point of view regarding multiculturalism.
The real question, however, has to be: is it too late to save our Canadian culture or has too much time passed and the revisionists have done their work too well?
Posted by: Ed Ellison | 2010-01-30 1:34:38 PM
Peterj...I think the crux of our problem is that people should not have the right to be not offended.
This idea and all of its offshoots has fragmented and identified all possible groups that participate in life in Canada.
Posted by: Ed Ellison | 2010-01-30 1:53:37 PM
Mark Steyn has discussed the weak horse versus the strong cultural differences as related to Islamification of the West. The West is now not unlike the North American Indians during the colonization / defeat from Europeans in that Islam represents a much stronger, confident, fecund, aggressively colonial culture than our post Christian mult-culti nullity. Western culture and tolerance won't currently accept statist actions (a la Israel) aimed at limiting / containing the borg(Islam) therefore handing over ultimate dominance through demographics. Ergo silent surrender. The left libs have all but surrendered and are awaiting assimilation.
The state is currently on board with the Islamification of the West by preventing the politically incorrect and intolerant civil censure that needs to be brought to bear on the borg. Very few want to contemplate an environment where Muslims don't feel safe, respected and welcome but until that environment evolves, I think we all know the three alternatives to Islam under a Caliphate: slavery, beheading or conversion. If any of those so-called moderate Muslims want to rewrite their scriptures to reform into a modern religion that doesn't rule by the sword but by moral suasion, then a third option may be possible. But unless the West forces it, they get their Caliphate eventually just by demographics (their Imams will keep them in line and unreformed).

Posted by: Ed Ellison | 2010-01-30 1:53:37 PM
I agree. Say what you want against our American neighbors, but I believe the "melting pot" concept does far less damage in the long run. Immigrants are expected to adapt and become "Americans". We expect nothing and that's what we get.
Posted by: peterj | 2010-01-30 6:13:30 PM
John, it seems you are correct. Ed, I still think it is possible to turn things around here, but the results would not appear overnight. That said I am no sure we have the necessary will to do so, certainly there is no indication where our "authorities", "leaders" and politicians are concerned. I think a first and necessary step is to send the whole political correctness crowd packing, since they are the enablers allowing Islam a supremacist and privileged status in that it is the only group/ideology/religion that is untouchable. This has yet to occur however.
Posted by: Alain | 2010-01-30 6:20:27 PM
Ban religion. Problem solved. Of course I'm kidding. Religion will die on its own. Education and reason will eventually win out. How many burkas do you see in Canada? Not very many. The only issue I have is when they insist on wearing them where it is not safe, such as a bus driver, or if the job requires facial recognition. Otherwise, tent up if you want. It is a symbol of being dominated by your religion and husband, but if that is how you want to be seen, power to you.
Posted by: Steve Bottrell | 2010-01-30 6:56:55 PM
Actually Steve, the problem isn't religion, it is culture.
The socially "progressive" experiment of a mosaic rather than melting pot has backfired on the West in a rather large way. Much larger than was ever envisioned, certainly.
Posted by: Ed Ellison | 2010-01-30 7:29:29 PM
Well if its culture, don't worry, in a generation or two, you won't see burkas at all. The new arrivals kids will be just like every other Canadian.

"The issue of the burka is an issue that we should face as a society. It is not an issue for the strong arm of the state."
and
"Actually Steve, the problem isn't religion, it is culture."
Of the 4 groupings in these two quotes above, religion, state, society and culture, only the last two would be remotely comparable and neither are comparable to the first 2, in fact the primary difference between Islam and the World of War (what Islam views us as) is that Islam combines all 3 or 4 and has stagnated in all areas for 14 centuries as a result. We have a reformed religion, a state unshackled from an unreformed religion, but bound by the stout chains of the common law and as a result society itself has been free to create it's own culture, free of these insane 'laws' that religion creates given control of the state, as is the case with muslims sharia law.
The fact that burkas and niqabs and other modesty coverings are mentioned only in passing in their holy books (as a demand for dressing modestly)does not stop many muslims from requiring their women to self identify as the property of some supremacist slaver.
Western culture has cast aside slavery, possibly for the first time in human history, and PC multi-culture would allow it to gain a toehold.
I do wonder if Liberal MP Marlene Jennings knows who Geert Wilders is and why his upcoming trial is so important to elected officials.

Posted by: Steve Bottrell | 2010-01-31 12:46:42 PM
Steve the point made I believe is that the new arrivals' kids do not necessarily turn out like typical Canadian kids. In fact, the majority of terrorists in the West are more often Muslim kids born and raised in the West finding no strong and clearly defined culture into which to assimilate, they opt for the strong and clear ideology of militant Islam.
Posted by: Alain | 2010-01-31 3:53:08 PM
Thanks for clarifying, Alain. Couldn't have put it better.
Posted by: Nothing New Under the Sun | 2010-01-31 4:58:13 PM
Ah, i see. Well we live in a fucked up world. Things like that happen. Omar lived in a fucked up family. With a fucked up religion to package it all up into the child that we have before us. But I think that the great majority will assimilate. We have people like that in our culture as well. Wait till things really go into the tank, then we will see more of them.
Posted by: Steve Bottrell | 2010-02-01 2:00:15 AM
Steve, the facts simply do not back you up in your claim that the great majority will assimilate. That used to be true, 40 to 50 years ago before the teaching of our history and culture was thrashed. Now that we have no clear concept of our history, traditions and culture having allowed them to be replaced by a nebulous mush, there is no culture into which they can assimilate. The great majority reject loss of any moral compass, which is why they tend to embrace Islamisn.
Posted by: Alain | 2010-02-01 6:50:24 PM
1) We need to expose and riducule Islam constantly, so people (including Muslims) learn something about this hideous religion. Then it might slowly die out, just like Christendom.
2) Islam should not receive any special favours whatsoever. E.g. all identification cards, driver's licenses, etc, should and must clearly show the face. Sharia law (and behaviour), i.e. oppression, should and must be outlawed.

The UK Conservative leader David Cameron says that any Prime Minister not 'directly elected' by the public should be forced to hold a general election within six months. He has in mind his Labour opponent Gordon Brown, who in June 2007 was catapulted into the position by a secret ballot in his own party, rather than by an open election of the people. And if, after the forthcoming general election on May 6, Labour chose to ditch Brown and catapult that gap-year kid...ah, yes, David Miliband...into the top job in order to stitch up a coalition deal with Nick Clegg's Liberal Democrats, well, Cameron would give him only six months to get a public mandate too.
On the surface, this looks like a good idea. Gordon Brown is Prime Minister only because the Labour Party's constitution makes it almost impossible to unseat a leader who doesn't want to go, and since Brown was the real éminance grise behind Blair, no ministerial colleagues wanted to cross him. Those chauffer-driven limos exert a powerful discipline on ministers and would-be ministers.
Look deeper, though, and Cameron's remark reveals how unfit for purpose our constitution has become. Whom Brits elect at a general election is their local MP, not a Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is simply the leader who can then command a majority in the House of Commons. It may not even be the leader of the largest party: if there were a hung parliament, it might be whoever who can mollify different factions and stitch together a workable agreement between them.
But, as with the debates, Britain's political system has now become presidential. Millions of people honestly report that they will be voting for David Cameron, or Nick Clegg, or Gordon Brown – even though only the electors in their own particular constituencies will actually get the chance. The rest of us vote for them by proxy, by choosing one of their party colleagues as our MP. None of our Prime Ministers is 'elected' by the general public.
In the US, the public explicitly choose a President – along with Representatives and Senators. Sure, after deaths and resignations, a Vice President can step into the office, but at least the public knows who to expect. When a UK party leader resigns (or indeed dies), consulting the public is the last thing on the deal-makers' minds. The UK has become a Presidential system with a Parliamentary constitution, and it doesn't work. There is simply nothing to restrain those who take office in Downing Street – who have powers pretty much as wide as George III had.
Making a step-into-the-dead-person's-shoes Prime Minister face an election after six months does not solve the problem. The problem is that if we are to have a presidential system, with all the TV debates and all the power concentrated in Downing Street, we need a constitution designed to elect – and, much more important, to restrain – that president. What we don't want is what we have now – a stream of elected dictators who the vast majority of us don't even get to elect.

Five Reasons Why Resident Evil 5 is Not That Scary
As a Survival Horror fan and a huge Resident Evil fan I am constantly hearing from gamers that Resident Evil is no longer a Survival Horror franchise.
The fan boy in me cringes at these remarks, but I must admit the basic themes of this franchise have been through a major revamp.
Progressively, the series has shifted away from its Horror themes. I am not dropping any bombs here and saying Resident Evil 5 is not a Survival Horror game but what I will say is that this franchise is not as scary as it used to be.
5.) Where are the Zombies?
This is the big question fans have been asking since Resident Evil 4. Resident Evil was originally THE ZOMBIE GAME, which made it terrifying. A putrefying corpse that knows nothing but hunger used to scare the crap out of me as a kid. Back in 1996 when the game was released Zombies were scary, now they are a novelty. Which is part of the reason they were nixed from the franchise I am sure.
Instead of Zombies in Resident Evil 4 and 5, we have LIVING individuals who are injected with parasites that attack the brain, making them totally psycho. The parasites continue to grow to the point of bursting from the head, killing the host.
Although the concept of human experimentation is still quite frightening, I think the idea of a foreign entity growing in a person to the point of bursting out of them has been a long time Science Fiction theme. Alien is perfect example of this, although the splat was through the chest instead of the head.
4.) It's a fine line between Sci-Fi and Horror!
Horror and Science Fiction are very closely related genres, and if you have a film with both elements you have to walk a fine line on which theme should be paramount. Films like 2001: A Space Odyssey, and Alien are films with fantastic horror elements, but the Sci-Fi theme's of Futurism, and Space Travel are much more overpowering; deeming them Sci-Fi films.
The Resident Evil franchise has had a consistent Science Fiction theme, one that is a vital part of the main plot line, which is Umbrella Corp. A super secret corporation that specializes in radical experimentation. If you drop the theme of a haunted mansion (or city in the case of Resident Evil 2, and 3), and zombies but keep the theme of a Umbrella - than you have a story based on labs and experiments, which in and of itself (sorry people) is a Science Fiction based plot line.
3.) Survival Horror game = Gore fest
More and more, horror films are getting more violent, and more shocking. Today there are horror films in the movie theater that would have only existed as independent films a few decades ago. Survival Horror is the same - the games in this genre have progressively become more and more disturbing, and if your game isn't truly shocking it's going to lose its street cred.
Survival Horror fans love violence, it is the bread and butter of the franchise but in the past few years it seems Resident Evil has been toned down. It is true that Capcom is trying to reach a bigger audience with this franchise, and the effects are clear. Resident Evil games now play like action shooters like Gears of War, and although both are violent they certainly don't have the feel of Survival Horror.
2.) Location, Location, Location
Part of the strength of the original Resident Evil game and why it was a genuinely frightening, was simply because you were confined to a single space; in this case the Spencer Mansion. The felling of being trapped is one of the oldest themes and most potent of the horror genre.
The idea that there just may be a chance you will never leave that mansion alive added a feeling of dread to the game play. With Resident Evil 5 you have large open and expansive environments that nullify that feeling of being trapped, and ultimately detract from the terror.
1.) Action on Steroids
If you look at any great Horror film - what makes it great is the helplessness you feel while watching it. Whether it is Jason, or Freddy, or a little girl that crawls out of your T.V. set, they all have something in common; they can't be killed! It is this theme of helplessness that is the Horror genre's foundation, and Survival Horror is exactly the same.
With the Resident Evil 4 reboot it is hard to feel helpless when you have Leon S. Kennedy A.K.A. killing machine behind a shotgun picking off crazed villagers like they are those cardboard ducks at a carnival. The same can be said about Resident Evil 5 when you look at Chris Redfield, an all around BA military guy, you don't feel quite so scared playing this game in the dark. The Characters in the Resident Evil games don't seem quite so vulnerable any more, and that is part of the reason the franchise just doesn't quite have the scares it used to.
Don't get me wrong I still love this franchise I just have to except the fact that it has changed, and in some ways for the better. There are still Survival Horror themes in this franchise but it just does not feel the same. What do you guys think?
I whole heartedly agree with that, I loved all the resident evil games, so after missing out for about 4 years, I finally came to play RE4 on ps2. Now personally, me and shooting games don't get on, I'm no good at them, and I generally don't enjoy them, so imagine my disappointment when I realised that was what resident evil had become. Not only are all the big games on the next gen consoles mostly shooters, but my beloved RE had sold out to this aswell. Don't think I'll be playing them anymore, which is so unfair and upsetting, RE ruled.
That said, the 2 player element of RE5 is kind of appealing, sharing the fear etc, but with it being shooter theme again, it just doesn't feel right. The following camera also ruins the effect, not being able to see what was round the next corner made the game, not just more difficult, but scarier, you just didn't know what was there!!!
5. Capcom had no choice but to evolve the traditional zombies for several reasons. One, the whole point of umbrella is that they want to make controllable super soldiers, the T-virus was a huge failure but laid the foundation for creating better viruses to control humans and make them stronger. Also, because SO many people gripe about the tank controls, they had to make the game more action oriented, but how scary would a shambling zombie be with the shoulder view controls? So they needed the enemys to be more of a challenge. I miss the old zombies too, i hope they re-make RE2 like they did RE1.
4. I dont really see them as being very sci-fi, nor horror. They are basically action games now.
3. I agree with you there, we need some more gore.
2. Well, your not ALWAYS in an open space. would you rather that all RE games took place in a mansion? It wouldnt really make sense.
1. Capcom just wanted to bring back the old characters, and really its about time they wrapped up the chris/wesker story arc of RE. We might get one more Leon RE but i hope to see some zombie virgins take the spotlight in the future.

How municipalities can start to take advantage of C-PACE in 2 easy steps
Contact the Connecticut Green Bank, the administrator of the C-PACE program. If your town or city has not already opted-in to C-PACE, this simple step will expedite the process and give you the information and guidance necessary to move forward. Connecticut Green Bank will send representatives to municipal meetings or functions to share information and insight on how the program works.
For municipalities to join the C-PACE program, their legislative body must opt in by passing a resolution that empowers the municipality to sign an agreement with Connecticut Green Bank. Signing the agreement means that the municipality agrees to assign, assess, collect, and remit benefit assessments to the Connecticut Green Bank in return for the energy improvements buildings will receive with C-PACE financing.
Once these two steps are complete, businesses in a participating town or city can apply for C-PACE financing.

Best Video Streaming Sites As Youtube Alternatives
We have the 10 best sites like YouTube lined up for you to test out, so let us not waste any more time than necessary and detail all those options for you.
If it is not YouTube, then it is definitely Dailymotion. Our first YouTube replacement is the second-best option you have at your fingertips to start viewing content on a daily basis. Since it features nearly the same layout and provides the same video categories as its video-streaming and uploading rival, users will get accustomed to using Dailymotion immediately.
Unfortunately, HD quality uploads are limited to pro users and there is a 4GB video limit, meaning that video uploads of around 60 minutes will be acceptable. This can actually be bad for those that want to upload comprehensive videos for educational purposes and with this limitation they might revert back to YouTube.
If you can get around a few issues here and there, Dailymotion can more than likely become your streaming alternative.
Pros
Has less harsh rules than YouTube on removing videos, but that can also be detrimental and uploaders might be free to upload whatever content they want
Features the same layout so you will get used to it right away
Professional quality videos at your viewing disposal
Same lists of video categories to make it easier for you to navigate around.
Cons
High-definition uploads will only be available for pro users
Is not popular in the U.S., even though it has accumulated quite a reach in Europe
Vimeo might not be competing directly with YouTube, but it sure is one heck of a video streaming alternative. The platform encourages classy filmmakers to show off their work, and the best part is that when you’re viewing a video, there are less distracting elements in the background to divert your attention away from the juicy bits of the clip.
In short, what this means is that you will be focusing on nothing but the video because focusing on distracting elements at the same time can mean you will end up wasting valuable time and might not finish the entire video.
Still, there are drawbacks to using Vimeo, especially if you’re a content creator because there is a 500MB weekly upload limit. Nevertheless, this can be upgraded to 5GB but let us face it, 5GB is honestly peanuts to the amount of content being uploaded to YouTube every day.
Pros
Focus more on the video the user is streaming and provides less distracting elements in the background.
A place for creative content creators to showcase their work to others
Encourages high-quality filmmakers to provide their magic
Vimeo homepage is a delight for the eyes
Cons
Website has a limit of 500MB per week only when uploading videos and this for each user
Video limit can be upgraded, but that is only capped at 5GB and will require a monthly fee
In case you want to save content from YouTube alternative sites, here we go a free yet powerful solution: WinX YouTube Downloader. Download live stream, movie, playlist, soundtrack and subtitle from 600+ UGC sites including YouTube. Best of all, you can grab videos in MP4/FLV/WebM (or music in MP3) with up to 4K in quality, and enjoy ad-free playback on local drive or mobile.
Metacafe has a 90-second limit on its videos, making it more appealing as a community-based YouTube substitute than an actual content streamer’s delight which makes it one of the best sites like Youtube. It might not come close to its competitors in garnering the total number of views but if you are looking for a ‘no-nonsense’ experience when it comes to shortened clips, there is no reason why you should not choose Metacafe.
Pros
Great platform for community-based content to be added
Attracts around 40 million unique viewers, which is not so bad considering there is little to no garbage content being uploaded
Cons
90-second videos mean comprehensive and detailed videos will not be provided to viewers
If you love music videos, then you’d better bookmark Vevo as your ‘go to’ streaming website because this YouTube alternative will deliver to you fast, hard, and swiftly. With an endless supply of music videos literally at your fingertips, you can always go here when you want to do absolutely nothing but submerge yourself in lyrics, vocals, and sound.
They always say music is therapeutic, and Vevo will become your primary health center when you’re feeling down and out. Unfortunately, it does not present diversified content like YouTube so you might be disappointed with what you find when you browse around it for the first time.
Pros
A treasure for those that want to enjoy an endless repository of music videos
High-definition content will always be guaranteed
‘Simple to use’ website interface will have you hooked on the streaming platform in no time
Cons
Cannot be as diverse as YouTube in terms of content thanks to limitation of the content-type being uploaded
You cannot upload your own music videos so it might become a popular alternative for some people
Twitch started out as a concept at first but quickly became a favorite for viewers and content uploaders whose strict motto is to watch gaming videos and nothing else. For millions of internet users out there, Twitch is ideal for viewing ‘live broadcasting’ videos but its popularity is very pale as opposed to YouTube.
In terms of payout, Twitch might not be the suitable alternative but if you absolutely adore gaming videos, then this is the platform you should get stuck to right away.
Pros
Very impressive in attracting gamers and content uploaders alike to the website
Game-based content available in massive amounts
Great for watching live gaming videos
Cons
Payout is far less compared to YouTube
You cannot rewind videos
Streaming performance might be a tad bit slower compared to other websites
The name might sound like a storage platform because that is exactly what it is; The Internet Archive is part of the WayBack Machine and houses a lot of content from back when content uploaders and viewers were very few in number. If you want to state your requirements of watching a wide-range of documentaries, TV series, movies and more, we highly recommend that you start following The Internet Archive religiously.
Pros
Huge library of videos present ranging from documentaries to TV series, movies and others that are hard to come by on other platforms
Users can also upload their own content freely
Cons
You might not find a whole lot of new content present at The Internet Archive when compared to other streaming and uploading websites
If you’re on Facebook and Twitter then there is absolutely no way you have not come across the 9Gag brand. The channel provides copious amounts of entertainment in the form of images, GIFs, memes, and so much more, but here is where things get even better. 9Gag TV is a section that houses an abundant level of videos and though some of them might be NSFW, you will get your dose of entertainment the moment you fire up this channel.
Pros
If pure entertainment is what you are seeking for then there is no better place than 9Gag
Cons
NSFW videos are also a part of the content, so be careful what you click on
Users might kill hours of precious time by engaging in entertainment videos
Veoh is yet another great alternative to YouTube and aside from providing a clean interface for potentially millions of users, there are a lot of perks involved here. First, you can upload any video of any length, meaning a ‘no holds barred’ situation for content creators here.
Secondly, there are lots of social features present which will allow you to start sharing your content amongst friends and other people plus if they like your content, then your popularity will exponentially increase.
Pros
Clean user interface with a lot of social features present so that you are able to engage with your friends and interact with groups and forums
Videos of any length can be uploaded and instantly shared
Cons
Search capability is less than a pleasing experience, meaning other users might revert to finding other alternatives
This might be a very surprising turn of events but Flicker also allows you to upload content in the form of videos, even though it is going to be in a very limited capacity. It is an established platform with several features, but there is always going to be room for improvements. Flickr will allow you to make a free account but this particular account is limited to uploading videos with a time limit of just 90 seconds.
However, if you are able to ignore this fact, then there is no question that this YouTube alternative will become a favorite of yours in no time.
Pros
Very clean and simple UI will allow first-timers to feel very welcome when searching for a variety of content to stream
Photobucket is similar to Flickr but presents more options to users ranging from a varied amount of content. It does host a very impressive repository of user-generated videos, but it will still take time for it to provide a higher collection of content and in a broader capacity.
Pros
Stellar browsing experience
High-quality content can be uploaded, with a diversified repository readily available
Cons
Limited content, for the time being, might not encourage a high level of viewership
You may download some movies or videos from torrent sites which are in different formats, but unfortunately found that these files will not be compatible with your player. You can achieve torrent to video conversion with WonderFox HD Video Converter Factory Pro.
After the recent explosion of cryptocurrency, it is safe to say that we all know that Blockchain is something that is slowly spreading, and has become the latest trend in the technology. The good news is that DTube is based on Blockchain and the good news is that it is a completely decentralized platform that serves as an excellent alternative for YouTube, and the interface is somewhat similar as well.
Users can easily browse through the hot, trending, as well as watched videos on their homepage. You have also the option to save the videos that you can watch later, as well as the option to check out the viral content from a list of trending tags.
One of the best parts about this website is that DTube is completely without ads, and it uses Steem blockchain to keep the records and users do not have to pay anything to start using this streaming service. Another great thing here is that if you upload videos on the platform, you will be rewarded with Steem cryptocurrency for seven days, and in addition to that, leaving comments on videos will also give you the chance to win. This is certainly a clever way of attracting the people.
However, since it is a relatively new platform, the video repository is on the lower side, and you might not find a lot of videos on the platform. It is still growing, and definitely has the potential to become one of the best alternatives to YouTube.
Pros
Completely ad free.
Based on Blockchain.
Users get cryptocurrency rewards for uploading videos, and leaving remarks
Familiar interface.
Cons
Not enough videos.
Cannot rival the giant that is YouTube.
12. IGTV
Instagram took everyone by surprise when they launched their own streaming platform called IGTV. Now the thing is that this video platform is a lot different as it offers vertical videos that are pretty long in length; needless to say, these videos were specifically created to be watched on smartphones. As of right now, you can only use the app to watch the videos, however, you can upload your own through the desktop. If you already have an Instagram account, the IGTV can be accessed right away, and free of cost.
Users can simply go ahead and follow different channels that they prefer, or they can even browse through the feed that will show you all the content that is going to be based on your preferences. For content creators, IGTV is really great, and you can show your content to a larger audience since you do not have to punch in a URL, search the video you want to watch, and then watch it. IGTV is certainly going places.
If you are looking for something that is far more educational than any other video streaming platform, the Open Video Project is something that you need to look in. This project was launched back in 1998, and works as a digital library that contains about 195 video segments. The Open Video Project serves as repository of digitized videos, and contains so many documentaries, educational, as well as history related videos.
The good news here is that users are given a chance to select from the content by simply using filters, specific time, as well as sound and format. The thing about this platform is that most of the videos on this platform have been given by the government agencies of the United States.
The Open Video Project is certainly an intriguing one, but once cannot call it a direct replacement of YouTube, as both platforms are serving the user bases that are drastically different from one and the other.
Pros
Great for educational videos.
Completely free.
Huge repository of videos.
Cons
Not a direct replacement to YouTube.
Dated interface.
14. Facebook’s Search Bar
Normally, the Facebook search bar Is used for finding people, places, or pages. However, the neatest trick that has been in the plain sight for a long time is that when you are searching something specific, you can simply click on the “Videos” tab, and gain access to countless videos related to what you were searching. For instance, simply type brownie into the search bar, and click on videos. You will be given so many videos related to brownies.
Now obviously, this is certainly a handy feature, but finding the same level of videos on this platform is simply not possible. That is not to say that this option is not a viable one, it simply is not as cohesive and deep as YouTube.
Pros
Easily search videos.
Great for finding social media personalities.
Cons
Very limited.
15. PeerTube
We all know just how popular the concept of decentralized platforms is becoming, and that is exactly where PeerTube comes in. As the name suggests, PeerTube is a peer-to-peer video streaming and sharing platform that has been making waves in the market. Anyone can go ahead and host the videos they want, the entire interface is simply and neatly done, there are no ads, and you can even look at the trending, as well as recently added section to find the videos that you think are the best.
One of the greatest strengths of this platform is that there is no worries about being censored or banned because of content that does not match their communities because on PeerTube, you have the freedom to upload whatever you want. Now the important thing that you need to know here is that PeerTube is relatively new, and at the time of writing there are not a lot of videos available to watch. Still, it looks like it is going to make waves in the streaming market, and bring out some of the best features that people have been wanting for a long time.
Pros
Absolutely no censoring.
Peer to peer.
Users can host their own videos.
No ads.
Completely free.
Cons
Still has a long way to go.
Final Words
While it is true that YouTube does sport a massive repository of content, what good is a service when you will be bombarded with an endless list of rules and regulations? This definitely tarnishes the overall experience for content creators and viewers alike. If you’re searching desperately for the best video streaming sites as YouTube alternative, our recommendations have been given above, so let us know which one are you going to switch over to shortly.
YouTube really went down the drain when Google took it over. Now it’s just another source of mainstream crap that we already see too much of. Google has no respect for anything but money, just like all the other corporate bandits that are destroying the planet.
I put a dashcam video on my youtube channel. Guess what, it is blocked because there is a radio playing some music. Because of the music playing from the in-car radio, a music you can barely hear in all the noise in the car, this bullshit organization “UMG_MK” blocked my video. I’m done with Youtube for good.
Another good site that wasn’t included here is Ebaums world. I am so sick and tired of YouTube playing so many commercials all the time! I am not going to spend $120 a year just to get YouTube Red, which has no ads on it! I’m getting sick of YouTube!
You can install the Ublock origin extension by Raymond Gorhill. It is available on both firefox and chrome browsers. That way you can view all the videos with the commercials blocked. And don’t worry the extension is absolutely safe and moreover, the extension is also open source, so you can check the code if you want to be sure.
Vid.me has shut down on 15th December 2017. Vidme was one of the best Youtube alternatives which was the best competitor to Youtube but it got shut down by it’s owner. What they are doing now is that they are making an surprise to everyone with an new product that they say will blow everyone’s mind. Let’s hope for the best.
VIDDO is also a great Youtube alternative. It is a new social video platform where everyone who participates, including content creators, content curators, gets compensated. And if you want to cash out your earnings all you need is a Pro Channel. The platform launches at the end of November this year.https://viddo.com/
Their Pro Channel Pre-sale has just started recently and with my affiliate link, one Pro Channel will only set you back by 2.50USD.
There is a minimum purchase of 10USD and if you use this referral link you will get 1 extra Pro Channel Voucher and I will get one too.
Once you made your purchase, you automatically become an affiliate. Then you may share your referral link, earning you free Pro Channel Vouchers which will hopefully be worth a ton of cash someday soon!
Please study this for a better understanding and pay close attention to the “Become an honorary VIDDO Co-Founder today” portion. It explains how you can potentially 60x your money! �
you should do one for alternatives for youtube that arent blocked on school laptops, arent just pictures cuz youtube is videos so if we are looking for alternatives for youtube we want videos, and ones that have music and edits
Thanks to this article I gave Veoh a try. I registered there about 5 days ago.
This website must be still early and growing up, because it is very poor for now.
For poorness I mean:
– Missing a help center for newcomers; – Missing an official forum where to discuss change proposals for this website; – When you upload a video, you are only allowed to post a very short description (255 characters… and DailyMotion allows 3000) and only a few tags (max 5); – Tags function is not good at all, because “spaces” between words count as tag sometimes, and it may cause errors (“Please enter a value here” even after you have already put those calues) that prevent you to save editings until you don’t write tags in the correct form.
Example of tag-using on Veoh: kickoff3, snes, dos, gameplay, soccer
If you put spaces between the words, and then 4 commas, Veoh will NOT accept your tags, or sometimes it will separate them automatically, like this: kick, off, 3, dos, gameplay
So the main risk is you are creating non-existing and counter-productive tags that don’t fit user’ search needs there, that means your video will never be watched! 🙁
The ideal form, in my opinion, should be to include spaces and creating an exact tag by using quotation marks, for example: “Kick Off 3”, “Super Nintendo”, “Soccer games” etc…
Other bugs or missing features:
-You CANNOT change your avatar (yes, I’m serious about this): you’ll get an error saying “The required parameter apiKey is not provided”; -On your uploaded videos section, if you cancel a video while uploading processs, it will still remain there. You’ll see “Status: uploading” and a duration of 00:00. When trying to delete it, you’ll get another error saying that the video cannot be deleted because it has not been found (lol). -Missing an “add notes” function in the video player.
That’s all for now.
I would have posted this on a help section, but Veoh doesn’t have. This website is interesting and has some potential, but it has to change something.
So I would exhort a lot of people to subscribe there and submit videos, because it is the only way to change it and make it at least a decent alternative to YouTube.

Toronto area could support two more NHL teams, report says
Canada can support another six NHL teams — two more in the Golden Horseshoe — according to a new study.
A U of T report says there are plenty of hockey fans in the Golden Horseshoe and new NHL teams in the GTA would thrive, including in Hamilton. (STEVE RUSSELL / TORONTO STAR FILE PHOTO)
By Dan RobsonStaff Reporter
Mon., April 11, 2011
We have the fans. They have the cash. The sport is a religion. So Canada can definitely support another six NHL teams — two more in the Golden Horseshoe — according to a new study that challenges the league’s America-first mentality.
“Instead of taking the supply of hockey where the demand isn’t,” it asks, “should the NHL go where the demand is?”
Attempts to promote hockey in southern American markets have been largely unsuccessful, argues the report from the Mowat Centre for Policy Innovation at the University of Toronto. Instead, the NHL should focus on bolstering the game in Canada where demand is greatest.
Canada’s six teams account for nearly one-third of league revenue. Most of those loonies end up in the United States, which has 24 teams, through revenue sharing.
The report, titled “The New Economics of the NHL,” uses potential gate revenue as a measure of economic success. It looks at 10 Canadian cities and ranks each as a potential host for an NHL team, based on size, wealth, geographic location and other factors.
Article Continued Below
There are six Canadian markets where a new NHL team would thrive, the report found, citing Greater Toronto as the best one.
In fact, with 9 million people, the larger Golden Horseshoe could successfully support as many as three NHL teams. The study found that another team would be successful in Hamilton, London or Kitchener-Waterloo.
Montreal and Vancouver also have enough demand, as do Winnipeg and Quebec City. Teams in any of those cities would generate higher gate revenues than the average U.S. Sun Belt team.
But recent attempts to bring a new team to Canada have been repeatedly stifled. Winnipeg has yearned for the return of its beloved Jets, which departed in 1996. Quebec City is proposing to lure the NHL back with a new $400 million rink. Hamilton, poor Hamilton, has long been teased with prospects of hosting an NHL squad.
Meanwhile, the NHL has tried to grow support for the frozen game in the Sun Belt. With dismal ticket sales, the Florida Panthers have curtained off sections of seats. And the Phoenix Coyotes (formerly the Winnipeg Jets) face an uncertain future.
Click here for a look at all of the Canadian cities and why they would or wouldn't work.

Supply chain expertise more crucial than ever
The annual ranking of global supply chain leaders compiled by Gartner Inc., an advisory firm that provides technology-related insights to clients in a variety of fields, has been released.
Headed by Apple, the list of the top 25 companies includes just one brick-and-mortar retailer, No. 13 Walmart, whose supply chain prowess has long been recognized as a major competitive advantage.
The company’s supremacy among its peers in that area is, however, no longer a given. Amazon, the Internet merchant whose current robust sales are following a trajectory reminiscent of Walmart’s during the years when it grew to become the world’s largest retailer, finished third in the Gartner ranking. The advisory firm uses a five-part formula to determine a company’s rating, and by two of those measures, "peer opinion" and "Gartner opinion," Amazon was a close second to Apple and No. 1, respectively, in this year’s study. If sustained over time, Amazon’s capabilities point to its continued rise.
The importance of supply chain excellence in a global economy has been amply demonstrated, and Gartner executives assert that it will become even more vital in the future, as companies of all kinds move, in the words of managing vice president Debra Hofman, "from the old ‘push’ model to one that integrates demand, supply and product into a value network that orchestrates a profitable response to ever-shifting changes in demand."
The task for retail chains is more difficult than ever before. Not only do they have to ensure that their stores have the right products in the right quantities at the right time, they have to meet consumers’ increasing insistence on access to shopping options online and via mobile devices. Growing interest in same-day delivery, which is now being tested by Amazon and Walmart, among other companies, adds another layer of complexity.
If the road ahead is challenging for Walmart, Amazon and the other members of the supply chain elite, it is even more daunting for smaller retailers with fewer resources to devote to shoring up their existing distribution system and extending it to the new realities of the emerging omnichannel market. But it’s a job that every company that wants to continue to prosper will have to tackle.

How does SBA view control of an applicant or 8(a) concern?
Answer:
Control is not the same as ownership, although both control and ownership may reside in the same person. Control includes both strategic policy setting and the day-to-day management and administration of business operations by disadvantaged individuals.

AHRAM ONLINE -- Palestinian film “3000 Nights” scooped two awards at the Festival du Film et des Cultures Méditerranéennes (Festival of Mediterranean Film and Culture) in Bastia — the Kantara France Bleu RCFM and the Hors les Murs awards.
Directed by Mai Masri and co-produced by Palestine, France, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar and Lebanon, “3000 Nights” centers on a young newly-wed Palestinian school teacher who is jailed in a top-security Israeli prison where she eventually gives birth.
The film has garnered over 10 awards since its world premiere in September 2015 at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Masri graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from University of California, Berkeley, and San Francisco State University.
Her documentaries tackle the humanity and resilience of ordinary people. She has garnered over 60 awards at international film festivals.

sweet potato
Ultra creamy, warming and comforting this Butternut Squash and Sweet Potato Soup is sure to be a favourite this fall. It has warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg and smoked paprika and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup. So delicious!
This Cumin-Lime Black Bean Quinoa Bowl takes less than 30 minutes to prepare and is a delicious, satisfying option for lunch or dinner! Check out this plant based recipe and book review from the cookbook From the Kitchens of YamChops!
This Curried Carrot and Sweet Potato Soup is one of my favourite recipes! It’s easy to make, absolutely delicious and good for you. Plus, it’s vegan and gluten free. It’s flavoured with curry paste and coconut milk and then there’s a touch of lemon squeezed at the end to brighten the whole thing. This one will warm ya right up on a cold day!
Spiced Black Bean and Sweet Potato Balls
These Spiced Black Bean and Sweet Potato Balls are a great twist on falafel. Instead of using chickpeas as in a traditional falafel, black beans are used along with sweet potato and a bunch of spices like smoked paprika and cumin. The balls are then shallow fried and served along with a bunch of fresh ingredients to make a great tasting and filling snack or dinner.
Black Bean and Sweet Potato Burgers with Arugula Lime Sauce
I love a traditional beef burger as much as the next person, but sometimes I want something a little different, a little lighter, and a bit more healthy. These Black Bean & Sweet Potato Burgers with Arugula-Lime Sauce are so tasty that you won’t even miss the meat! They are loaded with spices and are low in the fat department. If you omit the feta cheese, it would not only be vegetarian, but vegan. You can simply replace the feta with crumbled tofu or just omit all together and they would still be fantastic.

High alert has been sounded in the nine coastal districts in Andhra Pradesh in view of tsunami warning issued by various agencies after an undersea earthquake measuring 8.2 in the Richter scale hit off the coast of the Indonesian Island of Sumatra.
Revenue Minister Dharmana Prasada Rao said soon after the reports of the earthquake - which the US Geological Survey said measured 8.7 - were received, the state government alerted district authorities — district collectors and superintendents of police — to take precautionary measures and evacuate people from low-lying areas on the coast.
Chief Minister Dr Y S Rajasekhar Reddy, who is camping in Delhi, spoke to senior ministers in Hyderabad and instructed district collectors to be prepared to face any eventuality. State chief secretary and the relief commissioner are monitoring the situation.
Local revenue officials rushed to villages on the coast to shift people to safer areas with the help of gram sarpanches (village heads) and gram sevaks (village servants).
The Coast Guard and the Indian Navy have also been requested to stand by to organise the rescue of fishermen caught in high tides.
However, till now, no reports have been received from coastal districts about any disturbance in the sea.

I get letters.....
I was listening to your radio program today, and heard the call from the man whose daughter was receiving support from the government because she was an unwed mother whose convict boyfriend wouldn't get a job. You were frustrated that your taxes were helping to support her bad decisions (especially since she was living with her parents!).
I, too, share your frustration. I am a 29-year old married woman who is going to have her first child in 6 months. My husband and I each struggled to put ourselves through college, have both held jobs since our mid-teens, waited to get married until we could afford to, and have saved my entire income since we got married so we could afford to me to quit my job once we got pregnant.
We have worked very hard to make all of these goals possible. Once we are living solely on his income, it will continue to be a struggle for us to make ends meet. We will have to stick to a tight budget that doesn't include toys or even cell phones. This is why I am disgusted at the way our government doles out money to enable less conscientious Americans (or illegal non-Americans) to live irresponsible lives. I run into people all the time who are benefiting from this injustice. There is a woman in my church who got pregnant out of wedlock and subsequent to her marriage has had five children (none of which she could afford) with a husband she just kicked out of her home. She has been going to school for the past several years (paid for entirely by the government), and Is living in government housing paid for mostly by the government.
No one I know looks on this as a problem, because she has such a "hard life." Her life, however, is a result of the poor choices she has made, and I resent having to pay for those choices. If our government continues along this track, we will have more and more people taking advantage of the "free handouts," and fewer and fewer of us who are paying for those handouts. We will bankrupt not only our economy, but also our souls, because we are not teaching the next generation to take personal responsibility for their choices.
I'm keeping the name of my correspondent private in order to protect her and her family from irresponsible backlashing.

I received my electronic Election Guide and Sample Ballot for the March 17 special election for the 21st Senate election and I just don’t understand why we are having an election.
Everyone dropped out of the race except Sharon Runner. There are no “qualified” write-in candidates pursuing votes and yet polls will open, expensive ballots will be mailed and no one will go out and vote — which is normal for an off year special election.
Robotics students at Vanguard Preparatory School got a $1,000 boost in power recently.
The High Desert Community Foundation granted the money to the program, led by teacher Jeremiah Harrison.
Lisa Lawrence, executive director for HDCF, presented the grant at the school on Feb. 6. She was accompanied by Vanguard principal Brian Goodrow and brought with her a large check made out to Vanguard robotics.
"We're really proud of you," Lawrence told the class, who were beaming with pride as they listened with full attention.
Driven by a passion to perform the music of the 1960s, ‘70s and ‘80s, Apple Valley residents/entertainers Brad Hogarty, Amee Lecoq and Lori Smith teamed up to form the group Harmoni by Three. The trio members are longtime friends, whose musical idols include everyone from Bob Dylan and the Beatles to John Denver and Dan Fogelberg.
A local branch of a national non-profit group that recently formed aims to give hope to those stricken with heart disease.
Chapter 395 of the Mended Hearts organization meets at St. Joseph Health, St. Mary’s Apple Valley campus and is the first of its kind in the High Desert, according to Ryan Orr, director of communication and marketing for the hospital.
The High Desert Diva Chapter (Helendale) of the Red Hat Society recently visited Granite Hills High School and left a large donation of clothing at the school's Parent Center. The school uses donated clothing to help students with severe and unexpected crises during the school year. From left: Florence Cowgill, Marcy Spade, Chapter Queen, Marion Burtz, Delores Marten, Elda Lotz-McGrane and Beatrice Cureton.

Rise of the Runelords
Festival and Fire
The Swallowtail Festival
Players arrive in Sandpoint to attend the Swallowtail festival and the dedication of the newly reconstructed Sandpoint Cathedral. Opening ceremonies are held in a courtyard just outside the cathedral and attendance is respectable. Mayor Kendra Deverin, Sheriff Belor Hemlock and local showman Cyrdak Drokkus give short, well received speeches. One noticeable absence is that of prominent businessman Lonjiku Kajitsu.
At noon, Father Abstalar Zantus, high priest of the new temple, and a few of his acolytes wheel a small covered wagon into the square. After a short parable of how Desna first fell to earth and was nursed back to health by a blind child whom she transformed into an eternal swallowtail butterfly as her reward, they pull aside the wagons covering and release a furious storm of beautiful butterflies. The festival has officially begun.
Games, food, theatrics and contests are available to all.
Lunch is provided free of charge by the local Tavern owners and Innkeepers. Especially popular is the curry-spiced salmon and early winterdrop mead showcased by Ameiko Kajitsu of the Rusty Dragon Inn.
Finally, as dusk approaches, Father Zantus takes the podium and begins to recite the Prayer of First Dreaming when the carnage begins.
Goblins in the Streets
The first signs of trouble come when a mongrel dog whimpers in pain as it is sliced open by one of an invading band of goblins. It’s body tossed from beneath the covered wagon.
Wave after wave of goblin invaders take to the streets. Goblin Warchanters spur their brethren on as torch welding pyromaniacs set fire to any flammable structure they can reach. The player characters are pulled into the action when they themselves are attacked by the goblin marauders. Grazomondi, earns the gratitude of Shayliss Vinder when he rescues her from a goblin attack. She shows her appreciation by pulling him into the Cathedral for a special Thank You. Marlovius begins an awkward obsession when he protects a visiting nobleman, Aldern Foxglove from one of the goblin commandos and his goblindog mount.
Obviously poorly planned, the assault is over quickly. The townsfolk suffer few casualties and in the days following, it is easy for the people of Sandpoint to laugh about the “invasion”
Though a handful of goblins are captured, they are unable to give any helpful information about the driving force behind the assault, except that it was planned by “one of you longshanks”

All that is missing is a scripted WAV file to play "Wake Up Damnit!" every time it sprung into action. However, if the first server ever died completely it might be a pretty sad scene to see the second server performing CPR on the first and begging it to Wake up.
I used to build a circuit with a 555 timer, a 74LS00 and a couple of 74LS191's which would count very slowly to 16 (it took about 4 minutes) but would reset the counter to zero every time the hard disk light blinked. The "overflow" output pin on the 4-bit counters was connected to the RESET signal on the motherboard. No disk activity for 4 minutes and the machine gets reset. With an appropriate interface chip the serial port could be monitored too (I used to need this when I ran a BBS).
Isn't it possible with 555 timer, a resistor, a capacitor and just one 7400 series counter? I made a CAT5 cable tester (a very crude one) using just these components.
"the faulty server was taken offline and replaced with a new one working under a new IP address. During the swap, ITAPPMONROBOT was moved to a neglected corner of the server room, plugged back in, and promptly forgotten. It spent the last weeks of its life dutifully opening and closing its CD ROM drive every two minutes, reaching in vain for the restart button that it'd never touch again."
So the new server still had the same problem? The CD eject was by the ping script, remember?

Ummm, no it didn't have the same problem. As it says, the new server was commissioned with a new IP address, so pinging the old server's IP address would result in no response.....and trigger the eject sequence :)
The real WTF? is, that none of you super computer guys know anything about RESETATOR piece of hardware. It's simple small piece of HW, which sits on serial port waiting for a ping. If no come in some period, then it triggers switch, which may be connected to machine reset button.
There are also enhanced GSM versions, which can reset computer over GSM network :)

Oh, you really need to learn... :))
Who cares, this story is much better.
Poor little robot. I want to squeeze and hug it.
Actually, I did the same thing back in 2001ish using one Linux server to keep another up. The positioning was the hardest thing.
Redundant Array of Inexpensive Servers?
I wonder if you could expand that - a circle of four servers, each one resets another one if it goes down. I guess you'd have to do some mechanical work to ensure they can press each other's reset button.
(Yes, I know that primitive circuitry would allow a computer to power-cycle another one. But where's the Rube Goldberg fun of that?)
wait, so it'd potentially reset a perfectly working machine simply because it hadn't seen disk activity in 4 minutes?
Technically since the device was looking for edges in the LED signal, it would also reset the machine if a single access took more than 4 minutes (because for example your disk drive firmware has crashed)...but yes.
Modern server machines have watchdog devices like this built into the chipset or buried in the IPMI subsystem. Once you enable the device, the OS has to send a signal to it every N seconds for some configurable value of N, or the machine gets reset. Usually you have some program running on the machine that tests your machine's favorite service and then tells the OS to zero the watchdog timer. If your favorite service hangs, so does the test program, then the watchdog timer expires and the machine resets. Ditto if the OS crashes.
My timer boards were in use a decade or so before anything "modern," and I used an existing signal from the motherboard to avoid having to build interface circuitry. Using the hard disk LED pin or RS-232 TXD pin was easy since there were standardized connectors for these signals. No OS-specific device drivers required either, just write something to the disks or send something through the serial port every few seconds--things healthy systems typically do already.
When the machines I fitted with these timers are running their normal workloads one can safely assume that if more than 15 seconds pass between disk accesses the machine has crashed, or is in a sufficiently degraded state to be equivalent to crashed for all practical purposes.
The 4 minute timeout was only as long as it was to accomodate the BIOS power-on routines. Most of the time the counter was held at "0" during normal operation (it takes 15 seconds to reach "1"). Later versions of the board used a LED to display the clock signal just to make the board look like it was doing something during normal operation.
There was also a bypass switch on the output of the timers so you could spend more than 4 minutes fiddling with the BIOS or running diagnostic software or something.
Isn't it possible with 555 timer, a resistor, a capacitor and just one 7400 series counter? I made a CAT5 cable tester (a very crude one) using just these components.
Almost. The 555 gets unstable if you make its period too long. At the extremes the clock period is unpredictable or it stops entirely. I found that I could get to about 15 seconds without much jitter, which means 16 clock pulses take 4 minutes. If it wasn't for this problem I wouldn't need the digital counter at all: I could just configure the 555 timer to cycle once every 4 minutes and reset it with the HDD LED input.
I'm pretty sure you need some kind of logic chip too--at least one inverter, because most interesting signals from the counter chip (overflow, MSB, etc) are active-high and RESET is active-low.
I needed to detect transitions in the HDD LED signal because the OS might crash during a disk access. If I detected only the LED-on state then such a crash would hold the counter in its reset state and the machine would not be rebooted.
When I designed the board I had a lot of 4-bit counters left over from a cancelled project. I used two counters on the board, one which counted when the LED was on and one when the LED was off. The two counter overflow outputs were ORed together and the (inverted) result went to the ~RESET line on the PC.
If I used only one counter I'd need some other chip to detect edges in the HDD LED signal. Since I had lots of counter chips for free, the economics of the alternatives didn't work out.
Some prototype versions of the board had lots of unnecessary parts from the spares'n'leftovers bin: 7-segment LED decoders (driving 7-segment LED displays of mismatched sizes and colors), or demultiplexers driving bar-graph LED arrays, sometimes even a third counter that just counts up to drive blinkenlights.
I am surprised no one commented on the WTF of an undocumented server. If Erik had documented its purpose, there is a chance someone might have read the documentation when they went to move the monitoring server and realized it was no longer needed. Note: I said "a chance"! :-)
Remember that the server has "DO NOT MOVE" written on it. Did you think that someone who didn't read the text printed on the machine would read documentation from some other place?
These days even sub-$100 UPSes have USB monitoring and control. At the very least you can command the UPS to power off. If AC power is present the UPS will power on again some seconds later (good UPSes will allow you to configure this, not-so-good ones do this after a fixed delay); otherwise the UPS stays off until power is restored (good UPSes will also wait until a minimum battery charge is present, not-so-good ones will power on anyway and might fail if AC power dies again soon after). This is a pretty basic capability that is required for controlled system shutdown and automatic restart--even the proprietary 3-wire RS-232 port interfaces provide a signalling mechanism for this.
Modern Unix systems (even Linux) have had journalled filesystems for years now. Database servers and commercial UNIX filesystems have implemented their own journalling or logging for years before that. Even NTFS is reasonably bulletproof against worse failure modes than a system lockup (although the shoddy quality of typical software for systems that actually use NTFS tends to negate this advantage). These systems are designed to cope with unexpected system halts and resets, but not necessarily power failures. In the ITAPPMONROBOT case it seems we are dealing with a non-power-failure case, since the machine has stopped responding to pings for up to two minutes before it is reset.
In cases where a server is strictly locking up (i.e., the system crashes before writing any corrupt data to disk, the disks are fundamentally healthy, and power is maintained to the disks throughout) there should be no data loss, or well-defined data loss (e.g., the last N transactions committed might not be replayed during startup recovery, depending on configuration). Many crashes fit within those criteria.
New high-performance system designs take into account the fact that system power fails slowly and not all at once--your RAM can lose power before your disk drives and disk controller, causing any data writes that were initiated before the power failure to store junk on the disk. This can do some serious damage to your data even if you are using all the standard software journalling/logging capabilities.
The real WTF? is, that none of you super computer guys know anything about RESETATOR piece of hardware. It's simple small piece of HW, which sits on serial port waiting for a ping. If no come in some period, then it triggers switch, which may be connected to machine reset button.
There are also enhanced GSM versions, which can reset computer over GSM network :)
Oh, you really need to learn... :))
Since you will have noted the fact that there was no money budgeted to purchase hardware, and you wouldn't have mentioned it unless they could have gotten one anyway, where do they give these resetators away?
I agree this was brilliant. UPC costs money and unless the BIOS is a relatively new one, the server will still require manual intervention after the UPC kicks in.
I think you mean UPS, and you are incorrect because a really old server will have hard power (thus the circuit will remain complete as long as the power button is down) and a somewhat newer server will ALWAYS have power on settings in the BIOS. I haven't seen an ATX-based server without "full on" settings in its BIOS... ever.
This is easily the greatest Daily WTF of all time. It has the lowly staff triumphing in the face of management stupidity! It has the greatest hack known to man. It has a sad story of one brave soldier abandoned after he has done his duty.
I will now cycle my CD drive to salute this steadfast little machine.
Seriously the only way this would be better if it was a precisely aligned USB Foam Dart Missile Launcher ;)
The real wtf is that so few commenters read the actual article before commenting! Phrases like "budget freeze", "turn of the 21st century" and "worked for years" are passed over so they can demonstrate their knowledge of modern technology that should've been used to provide a more elegant solution. Apart from this is mid-90s technology in a BUDGET FREEZE (even inexpensive new hardware would've been infrastructure change and would need management clearance - chance!). And so many people have either missed "new IP address", OR don't understand ping (although surely the old server's IP address would've been recycled and assigned to another machine?).
Of course, the really elegant solution would've been to strip down the CD drive and fashion a small lightweight extending arm (probably out of a pencil or a biro tube) which would've been easier to position; or could've driven a seesaw type rocker from on top of the faulty server. But that's just being hyper critical, and this is a lovely story...
At least one person here could use a common sense/reading comprehension/sense of humor update. Let me see if I can help that person out. (That person would be you, in case you have trouble figuring it out.)
No budget to replace existing hardware in the story.
None of what you rambled on and on about has any bearing.
Nothing in the story gave a date (even approximately) indicating when this happened, so it could have been prior to any of the stuff you ranted about being available.
Probably 99.9999% of the people here knew what you were spouting off about, so you wasted our time telling us things we knew already in an attempt to make yourself appear smarter than you obviously are (otherwise, you wouldn't have made this senseless posting).
It annoys people when you post something in the tone you used (that of a pompous know-it-all).

The Most Expensive Glove in the World, by Jacob & Co
March 11, 2014
Original gemstones can attract more attention than a dress from the latest collection of this or that famous designer. What’s more, if a bejewelled accessory can act as a unique cross between a piece of clothing and a piece of jewellery, like Jacob & Co ’s unique glove for instance, then the amount of attention it gets is completely unavoidable. And that’s not just because this white gold glove shimmers and glistens with 389 round diamonds (roughly 18 carats): this piece is so original and effective as an accessory that not everyone can match up to it; only the very boldest of people will wear it.
This diamond encrusted glove was first presented for public display at an exhibition in Basel in April 2013. Already by the 18th June, the legendary and bodacious singer Madonna chose it as an accessory to wear for the première of her film Madonna: The MDNA Tour in New York.
“When I create unique pieces, like the diamond glove, I always think about the women out there who are genuinely exceptional. Madonna, of course, is exactly that kind of woman, a woman with her own style who is not afraid to take risks,” commented Jacob Arabo, the Creative Director at Jacob & Co. “I am so glad that Madonna was the first to wear a piece from my new Rare Touch collection”.
For those of you who prefer yellow or pink gold, there is no need to refuse yourself the pleasure of wearing the glove: Jacob & Co makes them in three varieties from different types of gold.
Incidentally, if you have never heard of Jacob & Co, it’s worth my mentioning that Jacob Arabo, since the very beginning of his career, has not tried to follow established norms when creating new pieces. He has always wanted to cause mutiny and revolution, something to make the world gasp and catch its breath out of shock. This is what has made him popular among celebrities.
As a fan of the most eminent stars, Jacob still, to this day, creates truly stellar jewellery: exclusive, blindingly bright, fun, provocative and heavily conspicuous – pieces that could never allow their wearers to blend in with the crowd, drawing even the gazes of those who aren’t enamoured.
In a few weeks’ time, I will have already told you all about these new, original creations by Jacob & Co which were on display in Basel. So as not to miss anything that might be of interest to you, be sure to check my frequent updates on katerinaperez.com. KP

Not one to do anything in halves. The harvest of 2018 will certainly be remembered for its extremes; virtually no frosts, record breaking heat, timely rains, and harvesters bringing in fruit at record speed.

Tight competition in Ice dancing
Saturday Free Dance promises attractive performances and dramatic battles for the title, because there is only 1,2 points difference among first three pairs after short program. Italians Cappelini, Lanotte made the best short dance, but they additionally lost one point from referees because of incorrect lift. They fell on second place and followed Russian pair Bobrova, Soloviev. The third were defenders of European title Papadakis, Cizeron from France.
These three pairs stood on the podium in Bratislava last year and it seems they will not allow any other pair to reach medals positions. “We are happy with this performance and that we could challenge these amazing dancers. We are excited about it. We did some minor changes in the program and we have been experimenting with the costumes,” Anna Capellini commented their short program.
Nicole Kuzmichova, Alexandr Sinicyn
Other two pairs are aiming on gold medals. “The competition is not over yet. Figure skating has become so unpredictable now. We must fight. First of all, I want to point out that Katia (Bobrova) was so focused today, I saw her in her eyes and I felt calm right away. If she is nervous I am worried about her, because I just can try to say something to her to help her, but I cannot skate for her,” Dmitrij Solovjev said. His partner Ekaterina Bobrova added: “Sometimes I am more nervous. Today I felt really good and I will analyze how I approached the competition to remember how I did it.”
Although last year’s champions are currently on third place, they don’t give it up. Both of them admitted they did some minor mistakes. “It was a good performance despite some little mistakes, but it didn’t affect the overall performance too much. We enjoyed to skate here and also felt the audience with us,” said Guillaume Cizeron.
Czech pair Nicole Kuzmichova, Alexandr Sinicyn finished on 26th place. They both were satisfied and appreciated the atmosphere in the arena. “It was our first big event. We think we showed a nice performance and we are satisfied with our result. It was the best possible performance we were able to prepare in such a short time,” Alexandr Sinicyn commented their performance. His partner added: ” I felt big support from the Czech fans. We have never experienced such crowds at the competition in our career.”

Here at Touring Plans, we’re all about finding ways to save money during Disney vacations. But we also know that once in a while it’s time to throw caution to the wind and splurge on something spectacular enough to turn the vacation into a celebration. Here are ten of our favorite ways to indulge at Walt Disney World. Bucket list anyone?
While you’re indulging at V&A’s, why not splurge a little more with the caviar add-on?
1. Victoria & Albert’s. We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, a meal at V&A’s is simply one of the best dining experiences you’ll have any time, any where. And if the best meal in town isn’t enough for you, then you can bump it up a notch by trying the even more indulgent Chef’s Table or Queen Victoria room. Price: At least $150 per person, more if you’re including cocktails or wine, and more if you’re in one of the specialty rooms.
2. Backstage Magic Tour. This 7-hour tour takes you to backstage areas at all four WDW theme parks plus some centralized behind-the-scenes areas, and you’ll get a stick-to-your-ribs lunch at the Whispering Canyon Cafe to keep you fuelled up during your big adventure. For the Disney geek, this is the ultimate in education. Price: About $250 per person. Discounts may be available for DVC owners, annual pass holders or other special categories of guests.

In the upcoming Wonder Woman movie, when Diana (Gal Gadot) first leaves Themiscyra with Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) for the world of man, comic book fans might be jarred to see that the time period she finds herself in is not World War II as her origin story dictates. Rather, the creators of Wonder Woman, which opens in theaters everywhere Friday, opted to watch their princess come of age in 1918 Europe, at the tail end of World War I.
Screenwriter Allan Heinberg says the decision was a prescient one considering some of the similarities between that time and today.
“We are in a very WWI world today with nationalism and how it would take very little to start a global conflict,” he says.
When Heinberg and producer Zack Snyder were first breaking down the story structure for the film, WWI was appealing for a few reasons. “It’s the first time we had an automated war,” Heinberg says. “The machine gun was a new invention. Gas was used for the first time. New horrors were unleashed every day.”
Clay Enos/Warner Bros
Director Patty Jenkins had been flirting with directing Wonder Woman for a decade, and the setting for the film shifted as different writers worked on the story. At first, she was dubious about moving away from Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston’s original vision for his superhero, who came of age during the second world war.
“At first, I questioned it because it wasn’t her actual origin story, but very quickly I saw the genius behind it,” she says.
“World War I is the first time that civilization as we know it was finding its roots, but it’s not something that we really know the history of,” she adds. “Even the way that it was unclear who was in the right of WWI is a really interesting parallel to this time. Then you take a god with a moral compass and a moral belief system, and you drop them into this world, there are questions about women’s rights, about a mechanized war where you don’t see who you are killing. It’s such a cool time.”

Kraft to Make Oscar Mayer, Pizza, Separate Units
Kraft Foodsplans to turn Oscar Mayer meats into a separate business unit as part of a change the largest North American food company hopes will make all its businesses more accountable, a spokeswoman said Thursday.
The overhaul of reporting lines will break Kraft's five North American business sectors into eight business units, spokeswoman Lisa Gibbons said.
Those units are beverages, cheese, pizza, snacks and cereals, Oscar Mayer, food service, grocery and Canada, she said. The restructuring is planned to take place in early 2008.
The company also plans a similar restructuring of its international business, largely along geographic lines.
"We really feel like this is all about creating accountable business units," Gibbons said.
In February, Kraft said its plan under Chief Executive Irene Rosenfeld was to "rewire" the company for growth.
Separating out Oscar Mayer could highlight a business analysts have often said the company might sell. But Rosenfeld said in an interview with Reuters earlier this year that the company was "pleased" with Oscar Mayer's performance in the past two years.
In 2006, Oscar Mayer sales rose more than 8 percent to about $3 billion, compared with less than a 1 percent increase to $34.4 billion for the company as a whole.
But the business is also facing increasing competition, with meat processors such as Tyson Foods Inc. and Smithfield Foods Inc expanding offerings.
Edward Jones analyst Matt Arnold said separating Oscar Mayer out could just mean the company wants to highlight its performance.
"They are trying to put something right in front of investors noses," he said.
Kraft shares were down 3 cents at $34.26 in afternoon trading on the New York stock Exchange. The stock is down 4 percent this year, compared with a 4.7 percent rise for the Standard & Poor's packaged foods index.

Look up A*? Or go with ROS and try gmapping or hector...not really enough info and likely gps alone will not be adequate. There is so much error in sensors that typically a bunch are used and the data fused and vetted. indoor? Outdoor?

Monasteries
dedicated to St. Gregory, the oldest Benedictine monastery in the area was founded by St. Pier Damiani around 1060 in Morciano; just a few kilometres from the town centre, only extensive ruins remain. Founded in the 13th century in the heart of Rimini, one of the most important Augustinian monasteries has a church dedicated to St. John the Evangelist, known as the church of Sant’Agostino. It is one of the town’s largest churches and its apse and bell tower chapel house some of the best examples of the “Rimini School of Art”, one of the most important movements in northern Italy in the 14th century. The church and monastery in Verucchio are also Augustinian and today house the Museum of Villanovan Civilization.
A masterpiece of the “fourteenth-century Rimini school”, the Crucifix came from the ruins of the Augustinian monastery of Poggiolo in Talamello; initially attributed to Giotto it is in fact by Giovanni da Rimini and is now in the parish church of San Lorenzo. Renovated from 1521 on, the church of San Cristofero in Pennabilli (known as Sant’Agostino) houses a miraculous 15th-century image of Our Lady. The oldest Augustinian church in the Montefeltro is in Miratoio. Dating from 1127 but renovated several times since, it houses the relics of the Blessed Rigo da Miratoio, an Augustinian hermit who died in 1347. Pennabilli is also the birthplace of two other illustrious Church figures. The first is Father Francesco Orazio Olivieri, born in 1680, who embraced the Franciscan order and left in 1712 to become a missionary in Tibet.
He arrived 4 years later, after an extremely difficult journey by sea and across the world’s tallest mountains that surround the kingdom of the snow, cut-off from and unknown to the rest of the world. Under the guidance of a lama, he studied the Tibetan language and religion and translated several sacred works from Tibetan, even writing an Italian-Tibetan/Tibetan-Italian bilingual dictionary with over 3,000 words - the first of its kind in a western language. As a sign of his appreciation, the 7th Dalai Lama first granted him permission to purchase land and build a monastery in Lhasa and then to preach and convert the faithful. The other key figure was Brother Matteo da Bascio, born in the village of Bascio, who became an Observant Franciscan in the monastery in Frontino and was ordained priest in 1525. Keen to return to primitive Franciscan rigour, he left the monastery and Pope Clement VII granted him the personal privilege to wear a long habit made of rough material (like the one St. Francis of Assisi had worn, but with a longer, more pointed hood), strictly observe the rule of absolute poverty, live like a hermit and preach freely. His example soon attracted many followers who wanted to rekindle the original spirit of Franciscanism and this led to the founding of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin (given this name due to their peculiar habit). Thanks to the support of Duchess Caterina Cybo of Camerino, the order was approved by the Pope on 3 July 1528 in his bull Religionis zelus.
From as early as the 13th century, the Dominicans had a huge monastery in Rimini with a demolished church. There are remains of an imposing Dominican monastery in Pietracuta di San Leo where an elegant complex was built in 17th-century thanks to donations from Rimini-born Giovanni Sinibaldi. The imposing façade, part of the cloister and church (1640) can still be admired. This is where the 14th-century Crucifix, now in the diocesan museum in Pennabilli, came from. The Congregation of the Hieronymites had monasteries and churches in all the area’s main towns; those still standing are in Saludecio and Sant’Agata Feltria. The Franciscan message recalls the presence of the saint who in May 1213 was given Mount della Verna by Master Orlando de’ Cattanei da Chuisi in San Leo and a monastery dedicated to St. Igne was built in 1244 in the same town, where he had been guided by a sacred fire. It has a fascinating cloister, bell gable and church dedicated to Our Lady. Continuing his journey towards Rimini, the saint stopped at the foot of the hill on which Verucchio stood, where there was a hermitage, and performed some miracles. He made a spring of water with beneficial properties burst forth and planted a dry cypress-wood pilgrim’s staff. The hermitage became a monastery and is still a mystical and spiritual place in Villa Verucchio. Now 25 metres tall, after its tip fell off on 6 December 1980, and with a trunk circumference of 7.37 metres, the ancient cypress planted by St. Francis is in the cloister. The adjacent church has a 14th-century portal and houses a Crucifixion painted the same century by an artist of the “Rimini school”.
Franciscans are still present in Santarcangelo and Montefiore Conca too. Rimini recalls St. Anthony of Padua who, according to legend, performed the Miracle of the Fish and the Miracle of the Mule here to covert Patarini heretics. The Temple of Sant’Antonio in Piazza Tre Martiri was built in his memory in the 16th century. The Malatesta Temple, the area’s most important Franciscan church, is also in Rimini and next to it is a monastery destroyed in the last world war.
Monasteries still standing include the 16th-century ones in Maciano (Pennabilli) and Montemaggio (San Leo). The oldest Marian sanctuary in the province is also Franciscan; dedicated to Our Lady of Graces it is close to Rimini on the hillside of Covignano. The most famous in the Conca valley is the Sanctuary of the Madonna in Montefiore that dates back to the 15th century when the hermit Bonora Ondidei commissioned a fresco of Our Lady Suckling her Child for one of the walls of a chapel in the woods. In 1409, the hermit left the chapel to the Franciscans, but all that remains is the wall with the holy image, still referred to as Our Lady of Bonora.

Short-week home game is one of five prime-time contests for the Vikings
The Vikings have been lobbying for a short-week game at home. This year, they got one. And it will come against a couple of old friends.
Minnesota starts Week Eight with a Thursday night home game, against Washington. Apart from pitting quarterback Kirk Cousins against his former team for the first time, the game will bring former Vikings quarterback Case Keenum and former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson back to town.
Keenum authored the most memorable moment in U.S. Bank Stadium’s three-year history, with a seat-of-the-pants touchdown throw to Stefon Diggs in the divisional playoffs against the Saints to cap the 2017 season. That was the last time Keenum played in Minnesota.
In all Minnesota schedule features five prime-time games, subject to a Week 15 flex at the Chargers. Given Minnesota’s propensity for not showing up under the lights, that narrative will need to change if the Vikings hope to compete with Washington on a Thursday night, Dallas on a Sunday night, Seattle on a Monday night, the Chargers on a Sunday night, or the Packers in the last Monday night game of the season.

Boozy son who damaged a curtain pole is given a chance by court
Published:07:45Friday 19 February 2016
A boozy son who pulled down a curtain pole at his mum’s home after a row has been given a chance with a conditional discharge.
Chesterfield magistrates’ court heard on Wednesday, February 17, how Ian Wickenden, 31, had been watching a film on his laptop while wearing headphones when his mum Alicia tapped the headphones with the TV remote and he swore at her before pulling down the pole.
Prosecuting solicitor Sarah Haslam said: “Generally, the defendant and the complainant get on well without any history of domestic violence.
“He was stopping at her address and both were drinking and were drunk and she was watching a film on TV and he was watching a film on his laptop.
“He had headphones and she tapped him on the headphones at the back of his head with the remote control and he swore at her, got up and pulled down the curtain pole.”
Wickenden, of Jubilee Road, Whitwell, pleaded guilty to causing criminal damage after the incident on January 28.
Defence solicitor John Wilford said Wickenden admitted the offence at the police station and there have been no previous incidents.
He added: “They get on well together generally. Mr Wickenden had been at the address and they had been shopping and bought alcohol and she had been watching TV and he was watching a film on his laptop before the incident happened.”
The court also heard how Wickenden has been a huge help to his 60-year-old mother who suffers with epilepsy.
Magistrates sentenced Wickenden to a six-month conditional discharge but warned that if he commits any other offence within six months he will be resentenced for the criminal damage.
Wickenden was also ordered to pay £85 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.

I can’t really explain it, but I have been on a bit of a “wing” kick lately. We have them several nights a week, and they’re always my go-to choice as a snack when entertaining. Serving wings at a party can be logistically complicated…where do people put their finished bones? What if they want to double dip in the Ranch dressing?
The easiest solution is obviously to put out individual wing boxes, each filled with a serving of wings and an individual portion of Hidden Valley Honey BBQ Original Ranch Dressing.
The template for these boxes are included below, and you can make them out of any sturdy paper you have laying around. Party wings problems: solved!
These individual chicken wings boxes are easy to make (pay homage to your note-folding skills back in grade school), and they’re way too cute when filled with wings and Hidden Valley Honey BBQ Original Ranch dressing.

If you are thinking about Savoy this February 6, Friday night, then think again. The Salsambo Showcase Extravaganza is going to be held the same night and it will be one hot crazy night of salsa dancing On1 and On2! People will be coming from NJ, Philadelphia, Virginia, Washington DC and NY.
You still may be able to get an advanced ticket for $11, otherwise you’ll pay $15 at the door.
Even if you don’t dance salsa, you should just come and watch the performances by professional dancers.
2008 was a rough year for everyone. I basically laid low for the better half of 2008 and haven’t taken salsa classes or gone out to Latin parties that much.
Its time to get back into the groove of things and get my mind working again. So I’ll be taking weekly classes consistently with George Dennis and Victor Colon this year. I plan to go to the salsa socials once a week either on Friday’s or Saturdays. If you can’t make the socials to see the performances, visit my Salsa Performance Groups webage every now and then to check out the performances you miss.
Atrium Dance Studio recently had their Latin Christmas party on December 20th. Aside from the dancing, I usually go to watch the studio performances.
Each year, students from the intermediate and advanced salsa class come together for 6 weeks to work on a performance for the salsa christmas party. Its a culmination of salsa moves and routines that they’ve learned during the year. You can sort of call it a recital.
The crowd was awesome last night, they were very loud and supportive and brought a ton of energy and added that bit of extra excitement to the performances.
Amoung the salsa performances were the intermediate salsa group, the advanced salsa group, the R&B line dance team doing a little bit of salsa rueda, and then there was the Prince of Salsa (Eli Torres), who performed a salsa routine with his dance partner Yen Dorado.

Letters To The Editor
“They had me locked in seg… coerced into doing things I would not normally have done.” — Chris Diaz, letter from Brownwood Texas Jail
The new development in the Chris Diaz case is that he has now decided he wants to withdraw his plea because he was “scared and coerced… into doing things I would not normally have done.”
Here is Chris' statement, addressed to Judge Ellis: “I wish to rescind my signature and withdraw the plea recommendation/agreement. I was coerced into signing and agreeing to the plea deal. I also wish to rescind my signature to the waiver of jury and withdraw that document as well. Please do as I wish, immediately with no delay. Thank you. C. Diaz”
These revelations came to Chris after reading all the family mail that had been withheld from him during his weeks in solitary confinement leading up to the April 2 trial, when he most needed his family's advice and support.
He wrote his mother: “I have not given up! I'm sorry I agreed to a felony. They had me backed in a corner, actually locked in seg. They would not let me call you. They have kept me from talking with you about important issues and my trial. If I only knew all of what you've been trying to tell me before I signed...I had no idea what's going on. I was right about Rudy working against me. He was scary and intimidating. He wasn't going to put on a defense for me.”
The Judge must allow a defendant to withdraw their plea if “coerced” or “misled.” Those magic words can force a new trial. That's why every defendant who pleads out has to say on the record in court that their plea is “voluntary” and knowing; no promises, no threats.
Chris faced 5-99 years in a Texas prison for half an ounce of cannabis hash, his legal asthma medicine in California, but a top-level felony crime (five years minimum) in Texas.
There is a strong element of inherent coercion in pleas offering short time instead of long time to make it attractive enough for a defendant to give up their right to a jury trial. On top of that, the corrupted system in the Chris Diaz case has aimed all its insidious fire power at an inexperienced youth to assure a felony conviction for a very small amount of personal use marijuana.
Texas is a prohibition state with no initiative process and local officials working together to enforce draconian laws.
Chris is perceived as an enemy of the state — a long-haired organic hispanic hippy with a code of cannabis ethics as an independent way of life, a close family support system and a facebook support system.
To undermine all that, nine months of incarceration and 111 days in isolation, were designed to break him down. He was held in Mendocino County in solitary confinement for 90 days awaiting extradition to Texas, then again “locked up in seg” in Brownwood Jail for 21 days prior to trial. His entire way of life was taken away from him and he was stripped of all contact with the outside world in the weeks leading up to trial — no mail, phone calls, visits, no communication with his remote lawyer; even legal books were not allowed in.
His letters which were allowed out expressed his confusion, pleading for help, desperation growing with each letter. He knew nothing about what was going on. The plan was working.
There is nothing voluntary about extracting a plea from an incarcerated person locked in solitary confinement without privileges or rights for weeks prior to trial.
Furthermore, Chris has been deprived of his allergy diet, free of pathogens, despite Dr Wm Courtney's request. So he eats very little in order to avoid allergic reactions to chemicals in the food and is growing increasingly frail and weak. Some people cannot process toxins, GMO food, etc., and instead have massive allergic life-threatening reactions. Chris was recently rushed to the emergency hospital when his temperature hit 103. Dr Courtney has unambiguously stated: “Chris Diaz faces a death sentence in a Texas prison.” He is a canary in the coal mine.
One of Chris' letters, received 3/22/12, explains:
“Please help. I have continuously been poisoned, day by day, as well as malnourished and put in hazardous/harmful living conditions & situations. I live an organic and all natural lifestyle. I do not eat GMO foods, but am being forced to or not eat at all. I have (also) been taken away from my family and two children. I have not harmed anyone I have not injured anyone. I was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time with my medicine, and yet my family and I are being harmed. There is a complete injustice going on here.”
A “Free Chris Diaz” petition addressed to the Texas Parole Board is circulating on line.
His mother, Rhonda Martin, introduced the petition with the following message: “Please Help Medical Marijuana Patient Chris Diaz Gain His Freedom From The Texas Prison System & Go Home To California.” The petition reads: “We are asking you to grant Christopher's parole out of Brown County jail, not subject him to prison for a first-time non-violent offense.”
If Chris can hold out, he may yet see the end of this case either in a trial — or a mistrial

KENT STATE
Editor,
28 Days for Kent State Peace
4/6/12 ~ Our third posting into 30 Days for Kent State Peace, a virtual petition to Pres Obama & AG Holder.
Our Plea: examine the New Evidence in the Kent State Tape. It is going on two years since new Kent State evidence emerged yet we have not received one response from the Obama Administration.
The law is clear: the Statute of Limitations does not lapse for murder! Four Student Protesters were shot dead at Kent State University on May 4, 1970.
Examine the Kent State Tape Now!
In 28 days it will be the 42nd anniversary of the slaughter of Allison Krause, my sister who was one of four student protesters shot dead by the U.S. government on May 4, 1970.
In today's post we're taking a look at Arthur S. Krause, father of Allison. On 9/8/74 as President Ford ordered a Full Pardon For President Nixon, Arthur Krause wrote and sent this telegram:
Dad's 9/8/74 telegram —
President Gerald R. Ford, White House, Washington DC 20500
You pardoned Nixon because you believe he and his family have suffered enough. My wife and I lost our daughter Allison on may 4 1970 at Kent State due to actions and words of Nixon. He compounded this horror of giving the National Guard the right to kill by ordering Mitchell, Erlichman, Dean, Garment, Leonard, and Norman to coverup the murders and maiming by blocking the convening of a federal grand jury. 20,000 or more our soldiers were killed and thousands wounded by illegal continuance for 4 years of the Viet-nam war. We and others will suffer through eternity and you pardon nixon who had no regard for morality, ethics, the constitution or the rights of man. Have you become a despot who is a party to this horror. You are compounding his felonies and are burying justice.
Sir you are less a man today than you were yesterday.
Doris and Arthur Krause
President Ford's full pardon signaled to our family that nothing would be done to expose the truth in the May 4th Kent State Massacre.
When this telegram was re-discovered on March 1, 2012, we quickly realized it was the lowest, most desperate time in Allison's parents' fight to learn what happened at Kent State, as they also sought accountability for the murders & injuries.
In December 2010, the U.S. Congressional Record published our account of what happened on May 4, 1970 ~ A Day That Changed America! http://bit.ly/fgI0h2
Watch this amazing footage from an early news report on the Kent State Massacre & at the end, Arthur Krause speaking his truth. http://bit.ly/ArGfFl
Learn the details of what really happened at Kent State ~ That the FBI & Cointelpro provoked the Kent State Massacre, bringing it to successful conclusion, complete with a cover-up that has held over 40 years. http://bit.ly/HcliUa
In a letter to the AVA, I wrote a letter regarding a Point Arena Board Meeting held March 7th in which Susan Sandoval made a motion to move the second Closed Session at this Board Meeting to follow adjournment of the meeting. Sandoval stated a report would be given at the next regularly scheduled Board Meeting (April 7th). However, Brown Act Law states: 54957.7 (b) “Once a closed session has been completed, the legislative body MUST reconvene to open session.” Motion was unanimously approved by Board.
At the March meeting, I also requested to go on record regarding inaccuracies in minutes at a Special Board Meeting also held in February which Scanlon-Hill nodded they would. One huge inaccuracy I pointed out, at that time, was at the February Special Board Meeting it was Scanlon-Hill whom suggested the Closed Session be placed at the end of each Board Meeting then the Board would report out at the next regularly scheduled Board Meeting.
However, minutes for the March Board Meeting did not reflect this nor do they reflect my request to go on record regarding inaccuracies in minutes. The minutes reflect only the following for Sandoval’s motion: “Moved the Closed Session after Section 10, Next Meeting/Adjournment/Action.” Also, I asked several people who attended the March meeting if the Board stated they would return following Closed Session to report and they told me they did not, they were asked to leave “quickly.” Since it was not part of Sandoval’s motion which was approved, no one would know to return. However, the March Minutes clearly state: “At 7:15 P.M. the Board reconvened to Open Session with no announcements made.” Again, not sure how any Board would approve minutes with so many inaccuracies, although I am not surprised this Board did.
Respectfully,
Susan Rush

HIPPY TALK
Dear Jeff Castello,
When I first read your “If I had a nickel for all the hours spent arguing with dumb hippies about Vietnam, well, the war might have ended earlier.” (3/22/12 AVA), I had to chuckle. Then I got to chuckle again. It would have been hard to help end the war earlier on such a small budget. If you had a nickel for each of those presumably many hours, or if you had nickels for all those hours, then you might have had a lot of nickles but “a nickel for all the hours spent,” is just only one nickel. The reader knows what you are trying to say and can cut you some slack, but this isn't an example of your best writing.
But “dumb as hippies"! What's that all about? I thought you liked hippies. For one thing, though you probably don't think of yourself as a hippie anymore than I consider myself one, in the eyes of the world, guess what? For another, to make hippies the target of your joke doesn't compute. Since hippies, almost by definition, like to make love, not war, what could you possibly have been arguing about? You weren't arguing in favor of the war, were you? Wouldn't it have made more sense to say “dumb ass gung-ho military types,” or “dumb ass right wing fanatics,” or something of the sort? I don't get it.
Hippies are also known for taking drugs. Now that you have pulled a Salvador Dali on us ("I don't take drugs: I am drugs."), I have to wonder if this has anything to do with your apparent hostility. You poke fun at users who become smug about their particular choice of drugs in the same issue of the AVA. Now that you are a non-user would it be a bummer if you became intolerant of those who still use. You are giving me that impression. With apologies for reminding you of something you already know, don't forget about all the music that never would have been played, all the paintings that never would have been painted, all the poetry and great literature that never would have been written, if it were not for alcohol and drugs. Two of the writers you most admire, Hunter Thompson and Alan Watts, come to mind. I can't let the chance to rib you a bit slip by. I daresay drugs and alcohol have made you the man you are today, and you seem pleased enough at the results!
I also got a good laugh over the exchange with Wallis Williams. There's probably not a kid alive who didn't dream about pulling a fire alarm to get out of taking an exam, but she actually had the nerve to do it! What a gal! I'll have to pay you a quarter to repeat my story about the innocent kid at my prep school who was marshaled into his room by some of his more sophisticated classmates and made to listen while they explained the facts of life to him. I never knew the particular act they described to him, but it prompted a remark that made him famous throughout the school: “No! People don't really do that, do they?”
Aloha,
Bill Brundage
Kurtistown, Hawaii
PS. I wouldn't like it very much if someone called me a “hippie,” but if someone called me a “bohemian,” that would be cool.

SUBSIDIZING BP
Dear Constituent:
Because you have previously written to me in support of Gulf Coast restoration efforts following the disastrous oil spill of April 2010, I wanted to share some good news with you.
I am pleased to report that on March 14, 2012, the Senate overwhelmingly passed the Resources and Ecosystems Sustainability, Tourist Opportunities, and Revived Economies of the Gulf Coast States (RESTORE) Act as part of a major transportation bill. I was proud to help lead the bipartisan effort to develop the RESTORE Act, which would dedicate funding from Clean Water Act fines to restore the natural resources, economy, and coastal environment of the Gulf Coast.
As recommended by the National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill, the RESTORE Act would dedicate 80% of BP penalties to the Gulf Coast states to invest in the recovery and health of their coastal ecosystem and economies. Under the Clean Water Act, BP could be fined billions of dollars as the party responsible for the spill, and it is only right that these penalties be immediately directed to the Gulf Coast's recovery efforts.
The BP oil spill exacerbated long-standing problems faced by the Gulf Coast ecosystem, harming the region's natural resources — including fragile wetlands and wildlife habitat — and debilitating its tourism, fisheries, and other crucial industries. I believe it is our responsibility to provide support to the communities of the Gulf Coast and ensure they have the resources they need to rebuild their coastline.
I am proud that the Senate has approved the RESTORE Act. Be assured that I will keep working with my colleagues to enact this vital legislation as soon as possible.
Thank you for your past correspondence on this matter. Please feel free to write to me in the future about this or any other issue of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Boxer, United States Senator
San Francisco

ASPHALT & HORSES DON’T MIX
To the Mendocino County Board of Supervisors, and Whom It May Concern:
The members of the Cultural Renaissance Project oppose the siting of an asphalt plant on land adjacent to the Ridgewood Ranch environs we call home. This land is a working ranch, a cultural center, and a sanctuary for those who live, work, and visit this historic ranch. Our program evolved on this land, with this precious view shed, pristine environment, and absence of industrial activities that would disturb the experience of nature in this setting. We are developing curriculum that would assist youth in reestablishing a connection with nature, as well as with the practical arts. It is crucial that such a program exist in a place that promotes such a seamless connection to nature.
Further, as some of us are Ridgewood Ranch residents, the proposal for such an unnecessary and dangerous intrusion into this carefully stewarded valley is offensive in the extreme. The continuous impact of light, noise, air emissions and water pollutants will definitely, and negatively affect the quality of life for us in this valley. With the higher percentages of elderly and youth in this community, we should be doubly aware of the vulnerability of these populations and direct our stewardship efforts against short-term profits, and perpetual damage to this land which can never be undone.
This land is referred to as one of the most sustainably managed properties in the County, with a world-renowned biointensive garden, grass fed beef operation, and an active goat dairy, all in the shadow of this potential source of contamination. The combination of many nature-based programs located here, all working together in harmony present a range of educational and experiential activities unparalleled in this area. Please protect this rare balance of life and legacy. Please say NO!
For the past six and a half years, Steve Krieg, has been President of the ElderHome Board. His leadership, professionalism, and hard work made a solid base for the rest of the Board. He has resigned from this position. BUT, fortunately he will remain on the Board.
The Board cannot thank Steve enough for a job well done!
And Steve, thank you, for the fresh eggs to buy at our meetings (when the hens co-operate). Most of all thank you for being a wise, hard working, and fun team member.
It’s a croc of #*@#. That’s exactly what the assertion of the right-wing religionists is. They assert that the liberals and atheists have declared a “war on religion.”
Nobody is arguing that houses of worship should be closed or that freedom of religion should be abolished. In fact, it’s the other way around. Religious institutions, churches, mosques, temples, are all tax exempt. They participate in tax-funded social service programs. Houses of worship are not required to report their income to the IRS, They do not even have to apply for tax-exempt status; they get it automatically when they form their church. They are routinely exempted from employment laws, anti-discrimination measures, and even routine health and safety inspections.
Furthermore, unlike secular lobbies, religious groups don’t have to register with the federal government. They are free from the stringent reporting requirements imposed on any group that lobbies.
So where is the “war on religion.” It is a figment, a delusional figment of the imagination of the religionists who seek dominance over the minds of the rest of us. In a sane society, Rick Santorum would be in the looney bin.
The religionists are using the cry of “war on religion” to hide their demands for even more exemptions at law than they have now. If the idea of the separation of church and state makes Santorum want to throw up, then the idea of giving religious institutions even more exemptions makes me see them for what they are.
What they are is a group who know, somewhere deep down, that religion is losing the battle with modern science. They are desperate, as they see more and more people abandoning their religions of birth in favor of agnosticism or atheism.
As modern science rips away at traditional religious explanations of history and biology, the religionist’s doubts get stronger and stronger. The greater their doubts become, the more vocal they become in demanding that we all believe exactly what they believe (even though they don’t even agree with each other about what they believe).
We generally think of greed as related to money. With the religionists their greed is for mind control. They would, if they could, if we let them, demand that everyone think what they think, act as they say they should act, and pray to the god they say is the only god.
That went out hundreds of years ago, but it’s making a come-back as their doubts increase and their power slips away. They seem to be very powerful, but it is the power of the bully. If we stand up to them, in public and in the courts, they get more and more irrational. Our hope is that an increasing number of young people will see them for what they are and laugh them out of town.

1. Blockbuster Video- Ten years ago, thousands of Blockbuster Video stores occupied buildings like this all over the country, renting DVDs and selling popcorn. Today, all but a handful are closed. The company’s shares once traded for nearly $30. Now Blockbuster is gone, scooped up (and then erased)
2. Keys. At the office- most of us already use a card with a chip embedded to get access. But for getting into your house (and your car), the technology that will kill off the key is your smart phone. Connecting either via Bluetooth or the Internet, your mobile device will be programmed to lock and unlock doors at home, at the office and elsewhere. The secure software can be used on any mobile device. So if your phone runs out of juice, you’ll be able to borrow someone else’s device and log in with a fingerprint or facial scan. Phone stolen? Simply log in and change the digital keys.
3. Blackouts- Frustrating power outages that leave people with fridges full of ruined food are on their way out as our electrical grid becomes increasingly intelligent – and resilient. Two factors are at work: slow, incremental “smart grid” improvements to the system that delivers electricity, and the rapidly expanding use of solar energy in homes and business.
4. Fast food workers- Burger-flippers have targets on their backs as fast-food executives are eager to replace them with machines, particularly as minimum wages in a variety of states are set to rise to $15.Diners will notice reduced staffing up front as outlets such as Panera (PNRA) turn to touch-screen kiosks for order placing. Behind the scenes in the kitchen, industry giants like Middleby Corp. (MIDD) and boutique startups like San Francisco's Momentum Machines are all hard at work for devices that will take on tasks like loading and unloading dishwashers, flipping burgers and cooking fries.
5. The clutch petal- Every year it seems that an additional car model loses the manual transmission option. Even the Ford F-150 pickup truck can’t be purchased with a stick anymore.
6. By the end of this decade, digital formats for tablets and e-readers will displace physical books for assigned reading on college campuses, The Kiplinger Letter is forecasting. K–12 schools won’t be far behind, though they’ll mostly stick with larger computers as their platform of choice
7. Dial-up Internet. If you want to hear the once-familiar beeps and whirs of a computer going online through a modem, you will soon need to do that either in a museum or in some very, very remote location.
8. The plow. Few things are as symbolic of farming as the moldboard plow, but the truth is, the practice of “turning the soil” is dying off. Modern farmers have little use for it. It provides a deep tillage that turns up too much soil, encouraging erosion because the plow leaves no plant material on the surface to stop wind and rain water from carrying the soil away. It also requires a huge amount of diesel fuel to plow, compared with other tillage methods, cutting into farmers' profits. The final straw: It releases more carbon dioxide into the air than other tillage method.
9. Your Neighborhood Mail Collection Box. The amount of mail people are sending is plummeting, down 57% from 2004 to 2015 for stamped first-class pieces. So, around the country, the U.S. Postal Service has been cutting back on those iconic blue collection boxes. The number has fallen by more than half since the mid 1980s.
10. Your privacy. If you are online, you had better assume that you already have no privacy and act accordingly. Every mouse click and keystroke is tracked, logged and potentially analyzed and eventually used by Web site product managers, marketers, hackers and others. To use most services, users have to opt-in to lengthy terms and conditions. And think of this: Most of us already carry around an always-on tracking device for which we usually pay good money — a smart phone. Your phone is loaded up with sensors and GPS data. Is it linked to a FitBit perhaps? Now it has your health data. One reason not to fret: Encryption methods are getting better at walling off at least some aspects of our digital lives. But living the reclusive life of J.D. Salinger might soon become real fiction.
11. The Incandescent Lightbulb - No, government energy cops are not coming for your bulbs. But the traditional incandescent lightbulb that traces its roots back to Thomas Edison is definitely on its way out. As of January 1, 2014, the manufacture and importation of 40- to 100-watt incandescent bulbs became illegal in the U.S., part of a much broader effort to get Americans to use less electricity.

In 1903 the Agua Caleinte Cupeno were removed from their ancestral tribal home, the Village of Kupa also known as Warner's Hot Springs. The Cupeno were forced onto the Pala Indian Reservation. This is known as the Cupeno Trail of Tears.
On June 1st, 2011 and February 1st, 2012 162 Warner Ranch Evictee Agua Caliente Cupeno were removed from the PBMI Association by the Pala Enrollment Committee. This is our Second Trail of Tears.

It reads like this guy betrayed the elders and convinced the youth to embrace the white mans ways. Of course we now know also that he had a personal agenda to secure the land via homestead for himself, so basically he decieves the people for personal enrichment, wow sounds familiar, they say history repeats itself!
@6:32 pm you nailed it. As they say the apple does not fall from the tree. Robert Smith claims Domingo Moro as an ancestor. Not only does this disqualify Robert from enrollment but it also shows his true motives. The same as Domingo's...self-enrichment at the expense of the tribe.
I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.It sounds as if Robert Smith being the Chairman that History is repeating its self.Only this time the people are losing a hell of a lot morethan they did back then.The people need to stop history in its tracks and make new history by geting Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto out of the EC now and not wait for any outside hell becauseoutside help will never happen.There are to many excuses after excuses why the people won't lift a finger to stop this white man named Robert Smith from ruining your Reservation.He DOES'T CARE one bit for the cupeno people and he has proven it time and time again by his actions against the cupeno people.He treats the outsiders better than anyone else that has cupeno blood.This white man named Robert Smith needs to be killed either by a bullet or by hanging for what he has done and continues to do on a daily bases.The FBI will not do any thing to help the people in Pala even though they are still considered citizens of the United States of America. The Federal Government says that its a inter Tribal matter a needs to be resolved by the Tribe so the BIA won't get involved.So the only way to solve it is to get Smith and Nieto out by whatever means possible.Which would be either by force or by DEATH.
Why don’t the real cupenos do it then. What the fuck talking shit all the time. They have the real warriors why don’t they do it fuckin trying to put it on different families and then say they don’t even have cupeno blood.
Talk to as many Tribal Members as possible and convince them that what Robert and Nieto and Perez did to disenroll was not legal by no means.Then get on the agenda by hook or by crook and have as many members there that are willing to vote in your favor to re enroll that family .You may have to trust everyone that you talk to and that's the hard part.Print as much info as possible showing what the EC did and explain it to the members and show them how the EC can do the same to any family that they don't like or that doesn't support their agenda.
I still say Genealogy DNA, be done on every single Tribal member, also documented information as to whom and where their Pala blood comes from. Give them a month to get it done or per capita and all Native benefits suspended. Let's get this right this time people.
I agree 5:42. Treat everyone the same and hold everyone to the same standards. What was done to the MB descendants is a travesty and should've never happened. I've spent years looking at all the records from all different sources and i can see all kinds of wrongs with whom remain as tribal members. The Lugos are not Cupeno. Alejandro Barker was a white man and his wife was a Cahuilla. Their descendant, married a man who by the bame of Remijio Lugo to was hired by the government to move the Cupeno and possible the other groups moved later on (San Felipe) to Pala. Remijio was Morongo/Banning. Why would their descendant Teresa Nieto, Dion Perez think they had the right to disenroll people who they have understanding of or even the right to do what they did, because they are ignorant and they continue to act out of ignorance because some people lack basic logic skills. HOLD THOSE LIARS UP TO THE SAME STANDARD AND MAKE THEM PROVE THAT THEY ARE CUPENO...they never will do the right thing because their shit totally and completely stinks. If they were honorable people, they would come to the Brittain descendants, admit their mistakes and work on restoring their rightful place. But, these charlatans will never do the right thing. Dion, you may have the money, the power and the prestige, but to me you will always be an ignorant slug who wronged people because you were caught up in the witch hunt to destroy King. You are the lowest piece of shit. Your piece of shit cousin, is as dumb as you are and she thinks she is so high and mighty. You will forever remain to me a worthless man who destroyed so many peoples lives. I don't know how you or your family can look yourselves in the mirror. Good luck in the afterlife. Im sure you will pay for your crimes against the Cupeno, which you are not a part of.
I've known too many people who were NEVER ENROLLED until per capita, some who really have no Pala blood much less Native blood. My family was only allowed to use 1 parents bloodline, however our other parent also has quite a bit of Pala blood so if others were allowed to use both parents even if the other parent was enrolled somewhere else, then so should we.
If Robert Smith says that the Cupeno and the Luiseno are considered one people then why wern't the Trujillo members allowed to use there Great Grand Fathers Luceno blood to stay enrolled in Pala.The EC has used this formula before to keep others enrolled but refuse to allow some of the people to use this formula to stay enrolled.Double standards are used by the EC depending on who you are.
If Theresa and Dion were smart on behalf of all the Lugos they should reinstate the Brittains and then leave enrollment alone for everyone who was enrolled as of 2001 the first year the casino opened. Members enrolled after that especially in the past 6-7 years need to be looked at because that’s when Robert started illegally enrolling his supporters children, grandchildren without enough blood so he could get their support and stay in power. That is SO wrong for Robert to disenroll a legitimate family who should be enrolled because they don’t support him and then enroll his supporters kids and grandkids because they vote his way even though they don’t have enough blood. He also looks the other way when his supporters bloodline is in question like Cindy Leal and Jimbo goodpasture. This is how Robert and Theresa keep getting re-elected and why they have such die hard supporters at the meetings because many of these people know they are only enrolled as long as Robert is in power and they will do anything to keep him in power to stay enrolled and take what’s rightfully ours. I’m not saying all the rumors are true but the bloodlines in question like Cindy Leal and Jimbo goodpasture should at least be looked into just like they did with the Brittains even though it was the EC rob and Theresa that questioned it and sent request to the BIA and went around standard procedure by having everything handed to the tribal secretary Kilma after they received it and looked at it first. ASK KILMA HE WILL TELL YOU THE SHADY WAY THEY HANDLED THE BRITTAINS DISENROLLMENT AND HOW THE BIA SENT A LETTER TO ROBERT THAT HE CANNOT USE THE 1928 CENSUS ROLLS FOR ENROLLMENT PURPOSES AFTER HE REQUESTED IT. SO ROBERT JUST STATED MB WAS 1/2 CUPENO AND WOULDNT PUT DOWN A REASON with supporting documents because he didn’t want the Brittains to be able to dispute whatever reason he gave. Even to this day when asked he just says that matter is closed and will not give an actual reason so you have a chance to question it or dispute with all the facts and documents that state otherwise that MB was fullblood CUPENO and her children were 1/2 CUPENO. The BIA, ASIA, DOI census experts have all stated this. At Pala there is a dual standard when it comes to everything and there will be no change for the better as far as enrollment or our economic future as long as Robert and Theresa are in power. I don’t know how or when change will happen but I know it is only a matter of time but the sooner the better because things will continue to get worse.
Robert Theresa and Dion will not always be in power, maybe this year or years from now so they are just making consequences for their families and their children and grandchildren to pay the price for what they have done and made so many enemies at Pala. Buy them trying to get rid of an opposing family they have caused people to look into their family and now they have questionable enrollment which can be used against them when they are no longer on the EC to block it. I don’t know if they’re into deep with all the money that’s gone missing but they should start to think about the future and start fixing their mistakes and working on putting things back to the way they were pre-2012 to make sure it doesn’t come back to bite them in the ass later on or their family. The way they have it right now in the example they have shown is that whichever family is in power can do whatever they want to the opponents and tribal members so they better hope they’re not on the other end in the future.
I say screw the waiting, just go to a meeting and make a motion to investigate the blood degree of Cindy Lealand Jimbo Goodpasture for starters and in the motion state that all the facts and evidence be given to a special committee appointed by the General Membership at said meeting because if it is given to the EC members it will never reach the people. The special appointed committee can examine the results of the investigation and to make a decision on the out come and then give the outcome to the EC to take action against whatever the the special committee recommends.You are the power General Membership according to the governing documents of the Band so use the power given to you to bring justice to the PBMI.There are some well educated Tribal Members that are enrolled in the PBMI and could do this job with ease.You don't need no high priced Lawyers to do this only the votes and the backing of the General Membership.You can have 1 or 2 members from 5 of the largest families that are enrolled and not be biased in anyway.
Don't worry, the rumor at the Casino is the new "manager" is going to cut all the promotions out. No more car giveaways, no more high roller free drinks at the dinners and many other cuts. They will lose more business and there won't be any money to hand out. They've already tightened the machines up as much as they can. They aren't going to punish Robert, just the customers and employees...that Casino is a dead man walking.
Robert wants Pala to fall, he wants the people to suffer, and if they do not do something soon, they will really suffer. Open your eyes, stop denying this man is evil and get rid of him before he completely destroys Pala. Pala as most knew it is already gone, but you still have some good people there, band together and oust the EC.
To all Pala Members, The path has been set and there is almost no way around it. The casino is set for bankruptcy in the near future. The casino will remain open and co to use to make money but that money will go towards operating costs and paying back any outstanding loans and debt. The tribe may get a small operating budget but there will be no percap or excess money for any tribal benefits. Look it up this has happened before with non tribal and tribal gaming. When a casino owes more than it can afford to pay out they file bankruptcy and or go into reorganization where all non essential money is cut. This is the path you are on and I am not sure it can even be stopped. That ship may have sailed a while ago when you all should have done something and had a change in leadership. Only Robert and Theresa know how bad it is and I promise you they will not suffer and have set aside what they need to be taken care after Pala falls. The percap will drop again later this year once they have given you time to adjust to the new amount. Then it will be taken away completely until Pala can get back on its feet. He plans on saying its only for a year or so. Your future is up to you, Pala’s future is up to you. Do not wait until it is too late as that time is quickly coming upon you. I doubt anyone will step up and the only ones that have stepped up have not had much success because to many tribal members are afraid to back them. Even though Robert and Theresa did this...you all did it!! Because you sat by and allowed it to happen even with all the warnings.
Kill the fat PIG and his Turkey looking partner AKA,Owl Face Nieto.But don;t eat the meat it will make you sicker than hell.Just throw both in a large fire pit and have a fire tender to make sure that there won't even be any ashes left then pour a ton of concrete into the hole and done with the two of them forever. AMEN
I'll bet Roberts Mother is really smiling about how her son is screwing the PBMI while burning in that old Satin pit called hell.Robert stop making your mom wait for you any longer, justlay down and die already.
Palas April mailer is out for the Casino....no more Friday car giveaways and no more added play. There are only 3 events on the calendar for April. No monthly giveaways either. Are they trying to drive customers away for some reason?
These are all red flags caused by Robert Smith.Read between the lines and get the fat little German fucker out before he has a chance to hurt anyone else.Why, because talk of disenrollment is spreading like wildfire and another family is going to be put on the chopping block soon.
Robert needs to look into his own family's background before he starts trying to disenroll again. I would assume with all the crap he's been pulling has to have gained attention from someone high up, he'd be pretty stupid to disenroll more people.
Know matter how hard you try, you can't fix stupid.So there is no hope for Robert Smith being as stupid as they come.All he is doing is putting his family in harms way by being so stupid.Can't wait for the day when Robert Smith is either DEAD or is somehow out of the EC along with his fairy tale wife Theresa Nieto then everyone related to him and her will know what it feels like to be disenrolled from the PBMI.It is the only right thing to do and it will be done.
What would even be better than that is when Smith is out and still living in his golden Palace then do the right thing to him and disenroll his fat ass and let him deal with it like the Britten family has.He could never, ever prove that he belongs on the Tribal Roles in Pala.It would be impossible with all that we know about his bloodline.That's what i would call real karma.It is really not that far fetched if you think about it.Once he is out he will be just another Tribal member like everyone else so why not punish his lying German ass.
I just heard that the vehicle that Gosher is living in is registered to none other than Robert H. Smith your honorable Chairman.So this makes Smith accountable for actions concerning this vehicle.Maybe Smith is connected to the druggies in North San Diego county after all.If anyone complains they will be dealt with by Smith.
It just pisses me off. My family was told to get rid of the old cars that weren't running because they were an eyesore, which is fine because I agree. However, that damn beat up car is on the main road, EVERYONE knows who and what Gosher is, so why is this being allowed? It looks so trashy.
So having allotted land makes it okay to have open sewerponds and illegal Mexicans and other lowlifes living in the little TJ trailer park.So go ahead and complain and call a tow truck to remove Goshers Condo.And we will complain and call Border Patrol and ICE to remove the illegals living in Pala.This vehicle in question can't rape or abuse our family members,especially our children but the illegals can.
Wow, must be a Robert follower. No, it us not okay to have open sewers and illegals living in little TJ, however it is private land so the laws are different. Goshers condo is on Tribal land or county property and is subject to the same laws as any Tribal member. As for Goshers character....hmmm..he has been involved in the same violations such as rape, murder (Bobby Allen ring a bell?), drugs and a known snitch.
Allotment or trust land does make a difference. It’s rather your on Roberts good side or not determines what you can and can’t do in Pala. He has no problem breaking policy or being fair when it comes to rewarding those that support him and punishing those that oppose him. I know someone who use to work for tribal maintenance and one day he grabbed a work order/request from the office stack and went to work on this tribal members yard. He soon got a phone call from our not so honorable chairman cursing him out and telling him “what the F@‘# are you doing there he’s against me and gets no work from me.”. “Leave right now and go over to goodpasture he has some work for you”. Robert is like a big child and if you don’t side with him he will make sure you don’t receive any tribal services or make it difficult for you to get any when you are entitled to them as a member. He denies members water and gas hook ups because they don’t support him. Also it is true about future disenrollments. As we all know the EC is requesting everyone’s birth certificate so he can go through them and look for any reason to disenroll. He can only lower the percap so much without people rioting and he still needs to save more money from the debt he put us in so he will disenroll and stop paying more members to save the money. The January cut saves him around $1.5 mil a month in percap payments and if he can disenroll another 100 people that could save him another half a mil or more. Find out how many enrolled members we have and how many are receiving percap. The numbers have jumped in recent years because he has falsely enrolled people to get the votes to stay in power. So now he is punishing rightful members by lowering percap and disenrolling so he can pay members that don’t qualify but will vote for him and have their families vote for him.
I totally agree with 3:17 about the little TJ trailer park.The living circumstances there are really deplorable to say the least.This area of Pala can cause so much illness among the people living there and the village of Pala.However the EC will not say any thing about it because the votes from the Lavato family keeps him and Nieto in power.Even the Pala Fire department won't cite anyone living on that property because Smith and Nieto won't allow it to happen.This property is way more important than someone living in a vehicle.But everyone is afraid to stand up to the EC concerning these violations and health risks.
Birth certificates are a start, however it has to go further like an geological DNA test will be even better with proven documentation as to where and whom that blood comes from. People in power can change birth certificates....just saying. And WHO is the person or persons using the birth certificates as a base for enrollment?
His vehicle is just like an old house.Give it a make over.A little TLC a new paint job and of coarse a couple of new tires and you have a nice ride.Better get used to seeing vehicles like this because at the rate Robert is stealing the Bands money everyone will be driving this type of vehicle AGAIN just like the good old days.
News flash-National Indian Gaming Association is no longer approving loan documents just based on Tribal Chair signatures. That is what is going on. Robert borrowed $170,000,000 based on his signature and the NIGC didn't approve it. The lender is now forcing Robert/Us to pay back the loan or else. Ha Ha. So where did the money go? Robert is scared so he is cutting back everything and trying to make good on the loan to save his ass. Damn the tribe he could care less. If the tribe had any guts it would default on the loan and allow the casino to go bankrupt. There are procedures that will allow per capita to continue. All the dirt will be exposed and Robert will either get concrete shoes or prison once everything is exposed. Yes the tribe can and should do this. Bankruptcy is the only thing that will save the tribe now. Again, it will not effect per capita. As a matter of fact per capita could go up.
The Pala Gaming Ordinance says that the Pala Gaming Authority: ..."is a subordinate organization of the Tribe established pursuant to Section 6(A) of the Articles of Association of the Pala Band of Mission Indians. The Authority isan instrumentality of the Tribe which enjoys autonomous existence.
I don't think the General Council actually saw the Gaming Ordinance. I think the GC just voted on the Resolution to approve the Ordinance. I'm pretty sure if I had read this ordinance that it would have set off very loud alarms.
@ 8:18,If the Tribe had any guts it would vote to HAVE AN AUDIT AND AND THEN VOTE TO IMPEACH BOTH,Smith and Theresa Nieto on these grounds and then file charges on both for fraud and stealing and spending most of the 170 millions dollars that they borrowed using the Tribes Casino to secure the loan without the permission of the whole Tribes approval.COME ON IRS AND FBI DO YOUR DAMN JOB AN ARREST THESE TWO CROOKS, PLEASE.I KNOW THAT THE FBI READS THIS AND THE OTHER BLOG SO THEY CAN'T SAY THAT THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF IT.
Don't be so sure about that 12:05AM.I do believe that they will be arrested tried and convicted of the crime committed against the little girlbecause they are guilty and you and they know it.So kiss your daddy goodby.
@ 8:42 AMIt's good to see someone laughing like you.Laugh all you can while backing Smith and his corruption because soon you will be crying like a little baby that wants a tit so suck on because Smith balls won't be around for much longer. i promise you that.
Congratulations 8:42 you are now Pala Idiot No. 1. Only an idiot can't see that other casinos located past Pala are making more money than Pala. Why are people driving past Pala Casino? Because people like you idiot no. 1 won't wake up and realize that Robert Smith is as crooked as they come. Maybe you haven't opened your check lately to see that Robert is running away with another $2 million a month of your money. That does not include the childrens fund and cuts in admin. as well as insurance. Only an idiot like you will be left holding the bag when the casino finally does go bankrupt. It is time for you to realize that when Robert goes down you will go down too. There will be no Robert to offset the losses everyone else realizes and that Robert gives you so you don't have to struggle like the rest of the Pala people. It is coming to an end one way or the other. When we take back control and your name is in Roberts little book then you will be held accountable for crimes against the tribe and you will be cut off from everything as you deserve. So keep it going. Laugh as hard as you want. Soon your wallet will be empty as we recover and enjoy the true benefits of our casino.
It's like i said beforeIt doesn't matter how hard you try you just can not fix STUPID.ROBERT SMITH AND THERESA NIETO ARE GOING DOWN REAL SOON.AND THE SOONER THE BETTER.Maybe after they are locked up for their crimes of stealing from the Federal Government ( any Indian Tribe/BAND)we can try to save whatever is left and try to heal our broken Reservation.How can so many Indian people be so stupid as not to realize what Robert Smith and Theresa Nieto are doing to the Pala Band of Mission Indians.They get away with disenrolling real members of the Bandand no one seems to think that this is wrong.They take the minors trust accounts and again no one questions them.They lower our members Per Capita and no one really questions them.Their spending habits are so far over the top of even a town like Temecula and again no one questions them..Well i have a question, why do we even have an EC, why not make it a free for all so we can at least have a fighting chance at surviving this Prison Camp that Robert Smith has created for us.He is nothing but a FAT BIG that stinks like ass sweat all of the time and his other half is no better than he is aka Theresa Nieto.She is one of the lowest forms of life that ever was.Can't wait to attend their funeral and the sooner the better for the entire PBMI.I wonder how it feels to get away with Murder as everyone knows that Smith knows first hand how it feels.
Fuck them both, i won't even waste my time going to their funeral.I would rather go and watch some one bury a dead dog or a cat.Why be fake a pay your respects to someone that didn't even know the meaning of the word respect.Truly nothing but trash.

Facebook Messenger is getting a surprising new Valentine's Day update
Ten years ago, the pressure my fellow teens and I felt to make a budding relationship "Facebook Official" was real. But with fewer teenagers than ever using Facebook (in favor of Snapchat), and with us now-twenty-somethings living our lives on Instagram, the stress-inducing relationship status feature has become blissfully irrelevant.
Now, Facebook might be trying to reverse that trend — using Valentine's Day as its weapon.
Messaging convos amongst newly-declared ~lovers~ will open with a "shower of hearts," as Facebook describes it. The easy-access emoji for all BF/GFs will be a heart eye emoji. Couples will be prompted to personalize chat features like colors and nicknames. And your partner will always be Numero Uno in your Facebook Messenger "Active" tab. As if you weren't already keeping tabs (heh) on them already.
How does one unlock these features? By returning to the actual Facebook app, and letting Facebook back into your love life by telling them that you're "In A Relationship." Noooooooooooo.
While there's nothing like Valentine's Day to really get your cynical side fired up, it's hard not to read these features as a ploy to get Messenger users back on Facebook by re-elevating the importance of the "Relationship Status."
But we can't forget that the Facebook platform itself is where users see ads — and where Facebook makes a ton of money. The Messenger and Facebook apps are de-coupled. So if Facebook wants to keep its main app cash cow alive, it will need to eventually bring young users back to Facebook, and not just bank on the popularity of Messenger.
Which is where the "Relationship Status" comes in. In high school, I remember consistently refreshing my Facebook page to see if the boy I was in a ~thing~ with had sent me an "In A Relationship" request. The need to publicly declare that I was desired, coupled, was a source of anxiety and longing when I didn't have it — and burning adolescent pride when I did.
As the first generation of teen Facebook users grew up, we learned that the perils of the relationship status outweighed the smugness and perks it provided. It was heart-wrenching when the person you had recently broken up with also made your break up "FB official" — like breaking up all over again. Plus, it was public. Over the last decade, we learned through hard-earned experience that some things are best kept off of our News Feeds. The pride we once took in the retrospectively embarrassing "It's Complicated" status diminished as the messy realities of dating sunk in.
It took my current partner of nearly five years and me ten months to become officially, BF-GF exclusive. At no point in the beginning did we ever declare that it was "complicated" — though it was — to Facebook. Nor have we ever requested to be "In A Relationship" online, though we are, IRL. It has never even been a conversation, in stark contrast to the angst I remember feeling when I would ask my high school beau again and again why we couldn't go from "It's Complicated" to "In A Relationship." A scan of my coupled friends' pages shows that most have spurned the Relationship Status, too. And several essays and surveys confirm that the public pain, embarrassment, awkwardness, and performativeness of the status has made 20-somethings largely abandon the feature.
No social media company invented the centrality that romance plays in the lives of teenagers and young adults — it just capitalized on it. Linking the turbulent emotions surrounding first love to a social media status symbol was how I got hooked on Facebook back in 2005. Now, could it be a perfect way to get teens to use Facebook again?
Sure, the new Messenger "couples features" could just be a fun Valentine's Day stunt. But then again, all Facebook might need to lead young users back to this feature (and the main app) is a gateway drug updated for 2018 — and that comes in the form of perks, only given to those in couples, through the teen-friendly Messenger app.
The "Relationship Status" amplified the worst things about relationships: heartbreak, and the need for a relationship out of status, and not out of love. Especially around Valentine's Day, when the pressure to couple is greater than ever, we definitely do not need it back.

Ticketmaster: Will be headed by Sean Moriarty. Both domestic and international operations including Admission.com, Biletix, Billetnet, BillettService, Cottonblend, Echomusic, Kartenhaus.de, Lippupalvelu, LiveDaily, TicketService, Tick Tack Ticket, TicketWeb and Ticnet.se, as well as Ticketmaster’s current investments in Frontline and iLike.
LendingTree: Will be headed by CD Davies. Also includes RealEstate.com, Domania, GetSmart, Home Loan Center and iNest.
Updated: One important detail that emerged as the day went on: a lot more details have to be worked out before the spinoffs are finalized in Q2 or Q3 2008. Diller : “That’s stuff we’ll be doing over next two-three months.”
Voting power & Liberty Media: Among the details that have to be worked out: where Liberty Media (NSDQ: LINTA) fits in and how Diller’s power to vote Liberty’s majority shares changes with the split? The NYT suggests a swap might be underway — Liberty’s shares of IAC for HSN. Pre-spinoff it would be tax-free, just the way Liberty Chairman John Malone likes it.
WSJ: “Mr. Diller’s voting rights don’t automatically extend to companies spun out of IAC, according to executives of both companies. As a result, Liberty will be given the chance to take control of any of them, although it isn’t clear Mr. Malone wants them all.” Diller is likely to retain power over one or two of the companies. (That lack of power over all five goes some way to explaining why Diller said at the press conference that he would remain involved with only one or two.) Malone: “It unsticks some things. … From our point of view, each one of these businesses will be more valuable.”

2 Chainz “The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It” EP (Stream)
2 Chainz new EP The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It is now available across all platforms where you stream and download the project.
The Atlanta rapper surprised us on Thursday when he announced that he has a new EP coming out by 6 pm today (February 8). TPDCWMI EP is the follow up to his 2017 album Pretty Girls Like Trap Music which was well received by his fans. 2 Chainz famously opened a pink trap house in Atlanta when he released that project. Following a hugely successful run on the airwaves, it’s time for a new era for Tity Boi who previewed some new music on his Instagram page on Tuesday night.
2 Chainz new The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It EP comes with four new singles with YG and Offset getting a guest spot on the single “Proud.” You will find names like June James, T-Minus, Street Runners, and Non Stop Da HitMan of 808 Mafia among the producers who put in some work on the body of work. The EP is shot but these four tracks are solid worthy bangers that will appease 2 Chainz fans until his next full-length album arrives.
Hair Weave Killer previewed a new banger on social media this week showcasing his signature trap flow over a hard-hitting beat. We originally thought that it was a single song coming out but turns out its all of four new singles “Ok B*tch,” “Proud” featuring YG and Offset, “Land of the Freaks,” and “Lamborghini Truck.” By the way, 2 Chainz is weighing his options to enter politics and run for mayor of College Park in Georgia. So far he has met some roadblocks but that is not stopping him from moving forward with his political ambitions.
You can stream and download 2 Chainz new The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It EP on iTunes/Apple Music below.

Spring on a large university campus means but one thing: crazy evangelicals. Since I attend (arguably) the largest university in the country, I get my fair share of kookery. Most evangelical preachers simply stand on a grassy area and preach, for hours, about the damnation that sinful, depraved college students face. Some gather crowds and screaming voices of dissent, but many are as easily ignored.
But every spring, the evangelical season is rung in by a group so passionate they cannot be ignored: the abortion protesters. They cover the campus in the blight of propaganda- their commitment is clear. This year, I decided to take a few photos of the madness, and string them into a quick youtube slideshow. Check it out, and note the response of the pro-choice counter protesters:

I'm appalled but not surprised at the tactics of anti-abortion groups.
They conflate murder and genocide of real, live people, with abortion. They choose, admittedly horrific, images to engage a visceral response knowing that people are emotional creatures.
They fail to understand that abortion is not a primary choice of anyone.
The same people demanding an end to abortion, are the same people demanding abstinence only 'sex education' (it's not education).
Abortion is an action of last resort.
No-one wants to have an abortion.
As a man, I can only know about abortion second hand. Those of my friends and acquaintances who have had abortions (there have been a couple), and the first-hand accounts I've read, have all been consistent in this: abortion is not their first choice, or their second, or third – it's their last recourse.
Many abortions could easily be avoided if the 'morning after' pills were more widely available – but these same 'pro-life' people have denied that avenue of relief to many.
More abortions could be avoided if appropriate contraception were readily available and understood. But these same people have successfully lobbied to ensure that pharmacists and front-line medical practitioners have no obligation of care if it 'goes against their beliefs' – in other words the practitioner can deny contraceptive advice and products if they so choose!
No contraceptive method is 100% effective. Combinations become increasingly effective. But for complete protection a woman must be empowered end educated to manage her own body.
That means well-founded education including counselling (you don't need to have sex just because contraception is available – it is your choice).
It means unlimited access to contraceptives, provided in a supportive setting, with access to education regarding the benefits and challenges of each method.
It means a culture that does not simultaneously consider sex to be 'dirty' while promoting and sustaining the world's largest porn industry.
It means recognizing, as a culture, that sex is a beautiful part of who we are, and that we now have the ability to enjoy that aspect of our nature without worrying about an unwanted pregnancy.
Does gruesomeness prove moral wrongness? If so, close-up photos of surgery would prove that we should never have appendectomies.
It seems that the argument should be about what the gore is ABOUT, not about the gore itself. But it is the gore that is featured. Are those photos of human animals? Yes, they presumably had 46 chromosomes. But the bloody photos are only one small slice of a complex situation. The photos tell a stunted argument, in my opinion.
The bloody images remind me of the movie, The Passion of Christ, and resulting arguments (I did hear these) that the intense carnage somehow made the historical/theological arguments on which the movie was based all-the-more true. I didn't see any connection whatsoever.
I'm not suggesting that photos of dead fetuses aren't relevant to the abortion argument. They are. But they are merely one part of a complex argument that needs to consider those images in full context.
There was a time surgery was considered a violation and morally reprehensible, along with autopsy. Probably just as well then since sepsis was such a danger.
As we are exposed to things in context, we learn to judge by more rational standards. How else does one explain the cliched revulsion of some folks to depictions of intercourse but not a glimmer of repugnance to Sam Peckinpah films?
I think sex can look beautiful (I also think that most porn looks ugly). I like action movies, but I'm repulsed by 'gore-fests' (the SAW series, for instance). I'm also capable of distinguishing between the 'play fights' of most action movies versus reality.
I find it strange that the counter-protesters only stood up to question the use of the Holocaust in this display. True, one of the counter-protesting groups was solely a Jewish student organization, but should they not identify and be appalled with the use of slavery/Jim Crow imagery as well?
As for the abortion protesters themselves, they actually curbed their rhetoric a bit this year. Last year, little children of about four or five years were also "willing participants" in the protest. A little boy was handing out pro-life pamphlets and saying things like, "Please don't kill me."
That manipulation and indoctrination of the young disgusts me far more than any gory surgery shots ever could.
"No-one wants to have an abortion." I know you're making this statement based on anecdotal evidence, though perhaps there is research to back this. Though, my anecdotal evidence with my brother's ex-girlfriend showed me that it was a choice of convenience.
Carnage and emotional responses aside, it seems the question needs to be answered before we debate who gets which right to choose. And the question is, when does the embryo/fetus/baby receive human status? If not at conception, then at a certain point along the continuum of pregnancy, or only after leaving the womb? I understand some people's reluctance at calling a simple cell at human life, but it's quite difficult for me to not think of a 7 month old baby in the womb as not a human. Could someone clue me in on what the consensus is on this?
Its a sticky subject because unwanted pregnancies due to rape/incest is a horrible thing to contemplate. And I'm truly torn with trying to legislate that a woman be required to carry a child against her will in these cases. However, IF the embryo/fetus/baby IS human, then how do we give them a say in the matter?
Danny: it sounds like most people agree with your revulsion at terminating a 7 month old pregnancy, as made clear by the existence and persistence of late term abortion bans. Even pro-choice advocates often agree with such a ban, I think. But there is no clear line in the sand that makes a good divider between "human infant" and "not human infant".
People find their comfort levels in different places- because of this nuance, we see a controversy. The law does not handle nuance very well. Neither do people with extreme ideological opinions on this issue.
Most late-term abortions, despite what the prolife movement claims, are due to sound medical reasons that have little or nothing to do with "convenience."
You have a variety of conditions, including gestational diabetes leading to hypertension, heart disease, the possibility of stroke; you have RH issues; you have septicemia; but then you also have medical conditions like cancer, requiring chemo, which almost always has a deleterious effect on an embryo; bloodthinners for other conditions; there's calcium leaching; and on and on.
These are all complex medical issues and doctors have always had a say over the termination of a pregnancy in these instances because they are mortal conditions, and either the fetus goes, or the mother dies, which means both die.
The prolife movement has blown this all out of proportion. It was a PR gift when they started beating on late term abortion, which by the way Roe v Wade allows states to regulate, if anyone would bother to actually read it. The confusion comes down because there are unreliable numbers because it is not a reportable proceedure—in other words doctors are not required to report it to any state authority. Remember when this first came up in the 90s? The numbers were all over the place. The prolifers chose their own.
The issue really comes down, morally, to this: no human being has the RIGHT to live at the expense of another. Perhaps that's ugly, but it encompasses everything from simple property rights to laws concerning revenge, extortion, and curel and unusual punishment issues.
When medical technology gets to where we can take a newly fertilized embryo and grow it to term in a vat, this issue will likely disappear.
But then it will be replaced with all these cloning questions the general public also seems to misunderstand.
I agree that this is a difficult subject, and I stand by my earlier statement: No one wants to have an abortion.
In the case of your brother's girlfriend: I'm pretty certain she would not want to have another abortion, and would now rather use appropriate contraception. From everyone I've spoken with, and from my reading, it's not an experience anyone wants to repeat.
Regarding "when is late term 'too late'"
I remember quite well the dialogue around abortion when I was younger in the UK – and the perhaps callous but generally agreed definition was founded upon one major principle – is the infant viable and capable of self sustaining life (perhaps with the aid of ventilators).
The state of the art at that time considered 28 weeks the baseline for viability. Viability is now (almost 30 years later) at 24 weeks. As the medical capabilities improve, I am perfectly in favor of reducing the allowable term (to 20 weeks, maybe 18). Beyond that point the viability of the fetus is severely compromised: the likelihood of major developmental challenges increasing exponentially with each week. There is a reason gestation normally takes 9 months – that's how long it generally takes to make a fully developed human (not just something that has the gross features of a human).
I would prefer to take my advice on viability from professionals, rather than ideologues.
Late term abortion should be a rare occurrence, and the studies show that it is – but perhaps not as rare as it could be. The vast majority (greater than 90% in most countries) of abortions occur before the 14th week (see wikipedia, Late Term Abortion.
In my opinion (and the opinion of many researchers and professional in the field) the only reliable route to fewer abortions is a more educated populace, and more widely available contraceptives of all kinds (including the morning after).
An anecdote for you, in case you think I'm pro-abortion (I'm not – it's the lesser of two evils): In the USSR, during the cold war and after, abortion was a normal occurrence. Contraception (pill, IUDs, etc) was expensive and rarely available. Condoms reuse was endemic, despite the fact they were poorly made and thus fairly ineffective even when new. Spermicides were limited to 'garden' remedies. This environment led to many unwanted pregnancies, and the vast majority of Russian women had at least one abortion before their 20th birthday. Luckily for these women, their abortions were at least properly supervised and performed.
I'd argue that up until an independent outsider can be certain another is pregnant, it should be strictly up to the host/mother to determine the parasite/child status of any organism living within her. She has months to decide before anyone else would notice, and should have the right to decide and act quickly on her decision.
Even though them call themselves "Pro Life", many of the pro-life crowd also support the Death penalty and unjustifiable wars.
And too, there are some "Pro-lifers" that feel their morality elevate them to the position of judge and execution, so that they may bomb or torch clinics where they suspect abortions may have occurred.
To be truly pro-life should mean more that simply opposing abortion by any means possible. It should also include:
Opposition to foreign wars, police actions, preemptive strike, or whatever euphemism for going to another country and killing the local so we can steal what they have.
Opposition to the death penalty.
Support of humanitarian aid to those that need it.
Support of a health care system that rewards the care providers for improving the quality of life for all the patients, as opposed to rewarding the providers for refusing medical attention.
Support for population control, because we are rapidly approaching the day when the resources can no longer sustain our numbers. In fact we may already be there.
Mark: When medical technology gets to where we can take a newly fertilized embryo and grow it to term in a vat, this issue will likely disappear.
Agreed, but still uncomfortable with this notion. Though, as you alluded I have not studied up on this issue.
Tony: From everyone I’ve spoken with, and from my reading, it’s not an experience anyone wants to repeat.
Understood. I didn't want to treat her situation flippantly because she chose what she thought was the lesser of two evils, so I know what you mean by she didn't "want" it.
Niklaus: To be truly pro-life should mean more that simply opposing abortion by any means possible.
Agreed, taken to the extreme pro-lifers should avoid stepping on insects. However, it's not that simple.
But as Mark said, "The issue really comes down, morally, to this: no human being has the RIGHT to live at the expense of another. Perhaps that’s ugly, but it encompasses everything from simple property rights to laws concerning revenge, extortion, and curel and unusual punishment issues." I believe this ought to be the reality, but until it is then I'm afraid the strict pro-life view you talked about Niklaus will never be. Case in point, though I am generally pro-life (and pro birth control), and I'm not pacifistic because I know that "us or them" situations are real. I think war and preemptive strikes should always be the last option and will always be ugly, but if someone in another country has made up their mind to kill someone in my family (or someone in my country) then I don't see any alternative than defense by violent means (this situation is, of course, only after earnest peace measures and diplomacy). Notice my scenario for war is only in cases of "either us or them dies." War should never be done to loot and plunder.
We shouldn't have to live in a world where sometimes we have to choose to either let a loved one live or someone who hates that loved one, but I'm afraid this is our reality. But, I'm still trying to be the change I want to see, and there may come a time when war is not a reality.

Let me guess. You don’t know what to do with your kids artwork besides smack it up on the fridge with a magnet, but you want options. And by options, I don’t mean getting rid of it and tossing it (I would never encourage you to do that…coughs and clears throat).
I’m talking more about fun ways to display kids artwork because to be honest, you don’t even recognize your fridge anymore and that’s sad.
Maybe your situation has gotten so bad that their artwork is overflowing to other areas of the house.
I’ve been there.
So let’s do something about your situation so that you can have your house and fridge back and you can finally stop feeling so guilty about throwing your kids artwork away (yes, I’ve done it and actually kissed it before I let go into into the garbage can-just to take some of the guilt away…didn’t work).
To avoid all of that (because they did put all that creativity and imagination into their work), here are some fun ways to display kids artwork:
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Magnets
How about dedicating a whole wall in your kids room to their artwork? Or only use a section of the wall?
You can use magnetic primer to paint your walls (just paint over it with your fave color). Finish it up with some cute magnets and you’ve got an entire wall to hang your kids artwork!
If you decide to just use a section of the wall, then section the wall off with painter’s tape and paint only that section with the magnet paint.
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Pin It
Hang up the cork squares up on your wall and use push pins to display the artwork.
via Young House Love
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Use Wire
You can also use curtain wire and hang it up on your walls, but instead of curtains, you’ll be displaying artwork.
All you need are some clips and you’re done. Ikea sells this, check it out here.
via artfulparent.com
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Frame It & Display
Grab a bunch of framed artwork and display it on some shelves. Now you can rearrange the frames in different ways or switch them out easily.
via Censational Girl
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Cluster It Up
You can go the old school route and just simply use picture frames, but don’t keep it boring. Instead use colorful picture frames or just spray paint frames that you already have on hand instead of buying new ones and create a gallery wall of artwork.
It’ll make the artwork pop and create a focal point in the room.
via Real Simple
Fun Ways To Display Kids Artwork: Create An Album
If you really want to take it back to old school. Back to the days before digital cameras and phones (I just aged myself big time, but you know what I’m talking about!), then you remember photo albums.
Well…why not create one, but using your kids artwork instead. You can digitally upload pics to a site like shutterfly.com and they’ll print an album full of your kids’ artwork. Even better, you can use it to decorate your coffee table or bookcase.
via Country Living
That’s It!
For any of the new artwork coming in because if you’re like me, you have little ones, so that artwork won’t be stopping anytime soon, you can use a box to store it all in.
Now if you’re still feeling stuck with decorating your space & need one on one help to transform your room from boring into a room that you never want to leave, then hit me up here.

Encounter With ISIS (John Mordred Book 3) by J. J. Ward
Spread the love
In one of the most entertaining books we’ve seen this year, a Brit MI7 Intelligence Officer takes on the challenge of forestalling a fourteen-year-old girl’s terroristic ideals, solving the kidnapping of a government official’s son, and unraveling the mystery behind a corporate cyberattack.
And somewhere along the line, a love story breaks out for good measure.
In Encounter With ISIS: Tales of MI7 by J.J. Ward, agent John Mordred, droll, keen-witted and uber-resourceful, receives his latest assignment with aplomb aplenty. And this book — sixth in a series — affords him the opportunity to showcase his abundant sleuthing skills and rapier repartee to best advantage.
In a dizzying bit of deductive reasoning, Mordred and his associates at MI7 come to the startling conclusion that two of the three players in the disparate conundrum outlined above are collaborating. Exactly why, and where they might be headed remains unknown.
But this is just the sort of spiderwebbed situation that causes mystery and spycraft lovers the world over to rub their hands together and gleefully cry, “Game On!” Mordred et al fill the remaining chapters with remarkably cinematic dialogue detailing Mordred’s hunt for the minor miscreants — fourteen-year-old Aisha Sharif and sixteen-year-old Sebastian, the bucktoothed, homely son of the founder and director of Chewton Black, the private security company whose firewalls were allegedly breached.
The characterizations in this first-class piece of fiction are deep and absorbing, as is the byzantine plotline that forces the reader to pay close attention, lest a critical twist slip by unnoticed. And, in the end, it’s just this kind of diligence that provides a payoff as the literary drapes are pulled back in a revelatory last chapter reveal.
Accomplished author J.J. Ward outdoes himself in this combination detective slash international intrigue tale — written with style and skill. Readers will find John Mordred to be one of the most appealing characters in fiction today. Very well done and roundly deserving of its five-plus star rating. Read the entire series, including Mordred’s next adventure: World War O.

linguistic philosophy
linguistic philosophy
Linguistic Philosophy
(philosophy of linguistic analysis, ordinary language philosophy), a school of analytic philosophy that originated in the 1930’s and developed in Great Britain (G. Ryle, J. Austin, J. Wisdom, M. MacDonald). It has influenced philosophers in the USA (M. Black, N. Malcolm), Australia, and the Scandinavian countries.
Being a Neopositivist school, linguistic philosophy denies that philosophy’s task is to present an integrated world view and regards traditional philosophical problems as pseudo-problems that arise as a result of the disorienting influence of language on thought. Unlike the adherents of the philosophy of logical analysis—another variety of analytic philosophy—the linguistic philosophers consider that the task of the philosopher-analyst is not to reform language in accordance with some logical norm but rather to provide a detailed analysis of the actual use of natural spoken language with the aim of eliminating the misunderstandings which arise as a result of the incorrect usage of language. In particular, according to linguistic philosophy, such an analysis leads to a clarification of the causes underlying the formulation of philosophical problems; these problems supposedly result from the incorrect extension of ordinary word usage.
Objecting to preoccupation with technicalities in philosophy, that is, a preoccupation with the use of a specialized conceptual apparatus, and upholding the “purity” of natural-language usage, linguistic philosophy resolutely opposes scientism in philosophy, especially the scientism of the logical positivists.
The ideas of linguistic philosophy were first expressed in the 1930’s by the Cambridge school of the followers of G. Moore and the later Wittgenstein. In the late 1940’s, the philosophers of the Oxford school (G. Ryle, J. Austin, P. Strawson) gained in influence; while opposing all tendencies toward the unification of language, they emphasized the diversity of linguistic phenomena and of the methods of using linguistic expressions.
In spite of the unsoundness of linguistic philosophy as a philosophical trend on the whole, the work of the linguistic philosophers has proved valuable in the analysis of the logical structure of ordinary language and the study of its semantic possibilities.
While Heidegger's precise position within the context of twentieth-century philosophy of language and linguistic philosophy and his relationship to the heirs of structuralism obviously remain a complex and multifaceted topic, Language after Heidegger makes an important case for the originality and the considerable innovative potential of the linguistic aspects of the Heideggerian heritage.
Nevertheless, philosophical precision is exactly what this term requires; particularly if the author wants to avoid falling victim to the claim he resists in chapter 7, that linguistic philosophy is just about "words" (80).
Bram Mertens' Dark Images, Secret Hints: Benjamin, Scholem, Molitor and the Jewish Tradition traces a path readers of Benjamin and Scholem have long hoped to follow: the route that leads from the Jewish tradition and Scholem's studies in the Kabbalah to Benjamin's linguistic philosophy and philosophy of history.
Badiou's theoretical articulation of the Event is disarming, and I believe, worthy of our greater attention, especially in the literature classroom where poststructuralist linguistic philosophy and neohistoricist ideologies continue to dominate the way we approach literary texts with our now near-myopic focus on culture.
While some may find such an analysis of religious language disturbing and may regard it as a comparatively recent development with the advent of modern linguistic philosophy, many believers through the centuries have been aware that the language of belief is an attempt to say the near unsayable.
The essay is a lucid and elegant exposition, but in the demands it makes on readers not deeply immersed in twentieth-century analytical and linguistic philosophy, it serves as a useful reminder to the English (as opposed to continental) student of Eco of the different intellectual tradition on which Eco draws, as well as how much philosophy, from medieval Aristotelianism onwards, is embedded in Eco's work, in his fiction as much as his theoretical writings.
Newell, who heads the strategic initiatives area of Freddie Mac's legal division, edged into some linguistic philosophy to describe how the mortgage finance industry would know when electronic mortgages truly had arrived.
His redactions do not carry the rhetorical force of Derrida's claims, but he deftly situates the specific conclusions that Derrida's notion of iterability entails within the broader context of linguistic philosophy.

Most Small Businesses Are Discovered Online First
They still need a mobile-optimized presence
A recent report by eMarketer revealed that more than one-third of US internet users first get information about small businesses when doing online research, according to a survey. Walking into a local store, meanwhile, was the least likely path to discovery.
Vistaprint Digital Services, owned by Cimpress, polled 2,000 US internet users on the impact of an online presence for small businesses during March and April 2016. The results, as shown in the pie chart above, show that 36.7% of respondents said they primarily first find out about small businesses through online research, closely followed by word-of-mouth (35%) and social media (13%). Meanwhile, only 8.4% said they usually found out about such small businesses by walking into the store.
The survey also tracked how often these internet users research a local business online before showing up at its door. Of those polled, 36.4% said they often check out the store online prior to visiting, compared to 7.2%, who said they don’t.
Based on this behavioral research, and the millions of US consumers with smartphones in hand, small businesses should probably be thinking more critically about their mobile presence. In fact, many are already. In a separate study from Yodle, and Research Now 52% of small businesses had a mobile-optimized website in February 2016. However, alarmingly, 40% said they have not optimized their sites yet.

“The time is now near at hand which will probably determine whether Americans are to be freemen or slaves, whether they are to have any property they can call their own, or whether their houses and farms are to be pillaged and destroyed and they consigned to a state of wretchedness from which they cannot be delivered. Our cruel and unrelenting Enemy leaves us no choice but a brave resistance or the most abject submission.” ~General George Washington
This is a monumental moment in America, my fellow countrymen. It’s time to take a stand or lose this Nation and your children FOREVER.
“But a Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever.”
~John Adams
On October 11, 2013, I pray you will consider joining Patriots from ALL walks of life as we take the fight to DC and show those SOB’s we mean business and we will NOT allow them to take this Nation and Her Citizens down without a fight.
“The strength and power of despotism consists wholly in the fear of resistance.” ~ Thomas Paine
These Truckers, Bikers, Veterans, TEA Partiers and millions of ordinary Citizens across this Nation are in this TO THE END, and we can and WILL shut down this entire infrastructure should it be called for. Think about it, folks….. Truckers transport each and EVERY physical necessity Americans use! Toilet paper, water, gasoline, food, oil, livestock and livestock feed, paper towels, tires, automobiles, soap, chemicals… the list is ENDLESS.
“We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.” ~Benjamin Franklin
If you must, use your vacation and sick time from work, take your children out of the schools and show them how to be free human beings, show your children that THEY are worth fighting for! Show them that their Freedom and Liberties are the most important gift for which our Founding Fathers sacrificed so much.
Patriots unable to make it to DC , PLEASE do what you can do to help. If that means keeping your wallets closed from October 11th through the 13th (SHUT OFF THE MONEY!), volunteering to drive, volunteering to pet sit or watch children for those who are going, renting busses, overpass duty…. WHATEVER IT TAKES.
Folks, We MUST take a stand, or we will never again be able to.
WILL WE WAIT FOR THEM TO COME FOR US? HELL NO, WE WON’T!
Use whatever resources you have in order to take a stand and join this movement. OUR NATION IS DYING. Whatever you need to do to make this happen, it’s a price well worth paying. It’s a sacrifice worth making, at WHATEVER COST.
“Those who want to reap the benefits of this great nation must bear the fatigue of supporting it.” ~Thomas Paine
On October 11th, 2013, theRIDE FOR THE CONSTITUTIONwill be comprised of MILLIONS of Patriotic Americans all over this Nation joining these truckers who are FED UP with this unconstitutional cabal of tyrants we’ve got destroying this Nation and the future for our Children.
“I prefer peace. But if trouble must come, let it come in my time, so that my children can live in peace.” ~Thomas Paine
THEY ARE OUR REPRESENTATIVES! NOT OUR RULERS!!!
It is time to take a stand, AMERICA! Are your children and future descendents to be free men, or slaves? Are they, and your Nation, WORTH FIGHTING FOR?
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you,and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.” ~Samuel Adams

Radio talk show host Pete Santilli, who has recently announced that he is “ALL-IN” in support of the Trucker’s event has stated very clearly; “Americans are pissed, truckers are pissed, and our legislators are operating unconstitutionally.
If the federal government or their fascist partners in corporate trucking think they can stop any trucker or citizen from participating in this national event, then they are in for a big surprise. I would LOVE to see the DHS sort out who in the big traffic jams across America is a protestor or simply stuck in traffic. Washington DC will merely be symbolic and a photo opportunity in our nation’s capital — as far as I am concerned, we don’t even need Washington DC or those corrupt politicians to even run this country (they run it into the dirt is all they do).
I am calling upon every single American in every city with every vehicle to get out on the road in support of out truckers & the U.S. Constitution. Let’s show these bastards who runs this place — they will NEVER be able to control a nationwide protest.
We are demanding that Congress follow the US Constitution immediately; Comply with our lawful demands, or their refusal will cause a shutdown. They either follow along with the plan by October 11th or they will be personally responsible for shutting our system down — they have a choice, but one of them is not to continue to operate lawlessly after October 11th. We have one shot at doing this peacefully, lawfully and constitutionally, but if we do NOT rise up, the alternative is a horrifying collapse and a violent revolution.”
In less than two weeks, thousands of truckers will descend on Washington, D.C., driving their big-rigs and calling for the restoration of a constitutional republic – but now their plan has taken a new twist: Their friends and families will simultaneously join other Americans rallying on overpasses across the nation for Obama’s impeachment.
The Truckers’ Ride for the Constitution movement has a new ally in their protest against what organizers say is corruption in government and a trashing of the Constitution. The group is teaming up with Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment to line the routes into Washington with flags during the Oct. 11-13 event.
Both Houses of Congress are tentatively scheduled to be in session Oct. 11.
Truckers Ride for the Constitution leader and organizer Zeeda Andrews, a country singer and former truck driver, said Overpasses Founder James Neighbors reached out to her, suggesting the two groups form an alliance. Neighbors said the partnership is a “natural” merger for a common cause.
“Thousands of truckers have seen us across America,” he said. “We’ve gotten emails from them, thanking us for waking them up. The biker ride in D.C. happened. Then, the next thing you know, the trucker thing did, and we got even more emails from truckers across the country, thanking us.”
He added, “We are going to be out on the overpasses and at truck stops, encouraging the truckers to head to D.C., to join in with the others. They, in exchange, are encouraging their families who are at home to join us on the overpasses.”
On Sept. 22, Facebook removed the truckers’ Facebook page, “Truckers to Shutdown America,” which had accumulated 86,000 “likes” within days of its launch.
“Political opponents attacked the Truckers to Shutdown America page within days, and they exploited a little known (to the public) feature on Facebook, YouTube and Twitter called ‘community standards’ flagging, which allows them to instantaneously shut down an account on these social media platforms,” the truckers group explained in a press release.
According to the group, radio talk-host Pete Santelli, of “The Pete Santelli Show,” has indicated that he “intends to take legal action against YouTube and Twitter on behalf of all truckers, their supporters, as well as other members of the public who are similarly harmed by these unconstitutional ‘community standards.’”
While the truckers’ group says it has made numerous attempts to appeal Facebook’s decision, the page remains unpublished.
Now the group is planning a special delivery to Facebook’s corporate headquarters in Menlo Park, Calif., on the same day of the Washington, D.C., convoy.
“Ride for the Constitution will now organize a convoy to Facebook corporate headquarters … to coincide with the ride to Washington, D.C.,” the group explained. “We fully intend to arrive on corporate America’s doorstep with our original ‘community standards’ guideline in hand – the U.S. Constitution.”
The truckers also launched their website, RideForTheConstitution.org, and created a second Facebook page called, “Truckers Ride for the Constitution.”
‘Wake up the sleeping giant’
What do they intend to accomplish with a convoy into Washington and nationwide rallies on overpasses?
Neighbors explained, “The goal is to wake up the sleeping giant, the people of America.”
Truckers co-organizer Benn Pam said the rally will be quite a patriotic scene.
“I think it’s great,” he said. “There are going to be thousands of trucks on the highways, flying flags. There are all of those people who are in the Overpasses campaign flying flags. Between the two groups, we may be covering a good part of the national highway network.”
Andrews said more organizations are expected to join the rally, and she has “two other huge groups that will give me a conformation.”
But this event isn’t just another political rally. The joint venture has clear objectives. Neighbors said one goal is to pressure Congress to begin the impeachment process.
“In doing so, the people can force Congress to act to begin by removing Obama from office,” he explained.
He said his group will also protest “RINOs and progressive Democrats” before the 2014 midterm elections.
Andrews said she believes connecting with the Overpasses group will help achieve her group’s aims.
“We both want to see an end to the unconstitutional laws in this country,” she said.
By joining forces, she said, both groups will get more publicity and video footage of the event.
However, the group’s short-term goal is to see a three-day cessation of business. Organizers are asking Americans to pre-purchase food and other necessities before Oct. 11 to send a message to Congress.
“We want to see the dollar stop circulating for three days,” Andrews said. “What we also want to see is deregulation for the truckers and our Constitution restored. We want to get rid of unconstitutional laws like the National Defense Authorization Act and the Patriot Act.”
Andrews also said she has a list of grievances she plans to present to every member of Congress before the trucks leave Washington.
Time to rally, contact lawmakers
Overpasses for Obama’s Impeachment national coordinator and co-founder Rick Halle said he’s hopeful that the event will get Congress to remember its commitment to the Constitution.
“The ultimate result would be for our representatives to start taking their oath to protect and defend the Constitution seriously,” he said. “At the very least, we will get the message out to others who believe, as we do, that government corruption is rampant and that they are not alone.”
However, Halle admitted that Congress will only feel pressure if enough people rally in the streets and make their voices heard by calling their lawmakers.
“We believe that we will also wake some people up so they start paying attention,” he said. “If enough people wake up and start contacting their representatives, then we believe that they will have no choice but to take notice.”
Some critics in the trucking industry have taken to Facebook to condemn the upcoming protest.
American Trucking Associations spokesman Sean McNally said his group opposes Andrews’ activities.
“The American Trucking Associations is not a sponsor of this ‘strike’ nor do we endorse or condone the activities of these few individuals,” McNally said. “ATA and the vast majority of America’s truck drivers will continue to deliver the nation’s most essential goods unabated even while we continue to work through whatever policy disagreements we have with Congress and the administration.”
But Andrews is undeterred.
She said, “I have the truckers that I need.”

According to reports from Syria, small arms and ammunition stashed at a warehouse located along the border town of Azaz supplied by Saudi Arabia and Qatar were taken more than a week ago by the Al Qaeda affiliate.

T- 30 Days
I’ve recently found time to read through the almost 200 blog posts in my reader and it was SO nice to catch up with those I’ve followed for years even if I wasn’t always able to comment. This is still my safe place and even when I go months without posting (I failed miserably at #30 on my 50 before 50: blog weekly), I look forward to the act of writing here.
My 49th birthday last May started a kind of mindful awareness about my life and where I am in it like no other birthday before. Once I began working on my 50 before 50 it brought into focus areas of my life that wanted attention. The exercise alone was a good one and I encourage anyone who is feeling stuck or stagnant in their own lives to create one. It was always a living document, something that changed as either time or desires permitted and I feel very good about the ways in which I’ve attended to the list and my life. I will have accomplished at least 30 of the 50 (and given that some of them were a once/mo goal, I’ll take it).
And, now, here I am, on the eve of counting down the final 30 days of my 49th year and 4th decade of life. At my last birthday, I remember feeling a bit overwhelmed at the prospect of turning 50 in just a years time, yet, here I am and I must say I am thrilled to be approaching this mid-century of my life with such gusto and gratitude.
The boys are doing well. My older son recently turned 9. I see glimpses of the teenager and young man he is growing into. He is a star student, the favorite of his teacher and the new head of school. He has had a great year academically and maturationally. He is his father’s son, a mini-me who embraces his father’s genes wholeheartedly. G turned 3 in December and is a dream child. He is smart, funny, inquisitive, independent, sweet, loving and a mama’s boy. My life and heart are settled for having him.
In an effort to aid weight loss, I weaned off Prozac over the summer and began hormone replacement (to continue to manage my hot flashes). Within a few weeks, I began feeling the tell-tale signs of depression: sleepless, short-tempered, irritable, easily overwhelmed, snappish, unmotivated. I decided to soldier on to see if things would even out. The morning that I couldn’t stop crying, thought about driving head-on into a passing car, and alerted a friend that I was afraid I might harm myself signaled my return to Prozac. I’m a couple of months in and feeling much more balanced, positive, hopeful, and even-keeled. The libido that returned during my hiatus has dried up. It is what it is. Being alive and present and engaged for myself, my kids, and my husband, is far more important at this point but eventually something will have to give and I’ll need to find my way back to a desire for sex.
I’m celebrating my birthday with a dinner party with my closest friends in a private dining room of a local restaurant. I went through an exercise of highlighting the most meaningful friendships in my life daily on FB which not only deepened those relationships but connected with me with people that I wasn’t as close to as they learned how those friendships had been cultivated. The closest, dearest people to me are very close and very dear and it was quite an emotional experience to regale each person with why they are important to me.
Aside from a complete inability to lose weight, I’ve continued working out on the regular and feel great about my strength and mobility. The one piece of my life that is still missing is finding employment. The darkness leading up to and through the recurrence of depression sidelined any efforts I was making in that regard. I still don’t have an answer to what I will do for work but know that as I feel better and in charge of my life again, I now I’m capable of being productive.
It is a 90 degree day here and I must get out in it. If anyone is still reading, please leave a comment and let me know how things are in your world or just say hi. I’ve missed you.
This is a picture from just a couple of days ago, my older son looking through G’s recently completed conception to birth book with him:

Thanks for providing such a great write-up, it was exceptional and extremely informative. It’s my very first time that I pay a visit to here. I found a lot of informative stuff in your article. Keep it up. Thank you.
I was so pleased to see a post from you pop up in my reader this morning! And I’m glad to hear things are generally well as your 50th approaches. Depression seems to always be a struggle for those of us who suffer from it… it’s a worthwhile exercise to go off the meds now and then to see how the world looks without them, but good for you for recognizing when it was time to go back on.
All is well in my little corner of the world. Nothing but first world problems, which is a good thing. I really can’t complain.
So good to see you writing again, I do stop here occasionally to see what you might have to say. I love how you have approached this big milestone, and a dinner party with friends seems like a fabulous way to ring in a new decade of life. I wish you the best in your employment puzzle; I’ve recently hit a crossroads there myself, and while not trying to get back into the workforce, even making a job change is proving harder than it looks. Anyway, I hope your birthday brings you peace, good company and more writing!

A proposed trust agreement for oil and gas royalties has been sent by Adrian City Administrator Dane Nelson to Adrian City Commission members for their consideration.
Under the proposed agreement, oil and gas royalties collected by the city would go into the trust, which would be established with First Federal Bank.
The trust would be irrevocable.
According to the proposed agreement, First Federal Bank would distribute to the city no more than 5 percent of the trust estate annually.
The draft trust agreement calls for no expenditures from the trust through May 24, 2016, except for administration expenses and fees due to the trustee, First Federal Bank.
In an email dated Sept. 20 to Mayor Greg DuMars and city commissioners, Nelson said he wanted to give them plenty of time to review the proposed trust before the next city commission meeting, when the trust would be on the agenda.
That meeting would be Oct. 7.
In his email, Nelson said he drafted the proposed trust to be consistent with the city's strategic plan. That plan, which was unanimously adopted by the city commission Aug. 19, calls on the city to "create an endowment with proceeds from oil and gas leases, which would include no spending for three years" and "no invasion of principal ever."
The strategic plan calls for the proceeds from the endowment to be spent on "capital projects or one-time expenditures."
The Daily Telegram reached several city commissioners about the proposed trust.
— Commissioner Milo Warren said he believes the proposal is consistent with the strategic plan and he is comfortable with an irrevocable trust, but added: "You always kind of hate to (say) 100 percent 'Yes,' because you never know when some situations would change, but I think that would be good."
— Commissioner Jerry Gallatin said he believes the proposal is consistent with the strategic plan and he is comfortable with an irrevocable trust.
— Commissioner Charles Jacobson said the proposed trust is consistent with the city's strategic plan. "We didn't think it was a smart thing to do to try to balance the books with that money," Jacobson said.
Jacobson said he believes the trust should be irrevocable so the money is not "nickeled and dimed."
"I kind of want to keep that there where there is going to be money ... for everyone forever," he said.
— Commissioner Cary Carrico said he believes the proposed trust is consistent with the city's strategic plan, but thinks there should be something that would allow the irrevocability to be changed later by a vote of the people or a super-majority of the commission.
"I don't know that I'm OK with it being a 100 percent irrevocable trust," Carrico said.
— Commissioner Julie Berryman Adams said that few details of a possible trust were discussed when the commission approved the strategic plan. "I have quite a few questions," Adams said.
Page 2 of 2 - Adams said she does not think the commission should vote on the proposed trust until after all of three scheduled public meetings to talk about a proposed Headlee Amendment override on the Nov. 5 ballot. In announcing the meetings, the city said the use of oil and gas royalties also was expected to be discussed at the meetings.
She also is not sure about putting taxpayer money into an irrevocable trust, tying the hands of future commissioners, Adams said.
"That is something that I would struggle with," Adams said.
Attempts Friday and Saturday evening to reach DuMars and commissioner Tom Faulhaber were not successful.
The first public meeting to present information about the proposed Headlee override will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Lincoln Elementary School. The other two meetings will be Oct. 9 at Michener Elementary School and Oct. 17 at Alexander Elementary School. Those meetings also begin at 7 p.m.

Somebody right this wrong!
I know there are readers who can do it. If you’re a Wikipedia editor, please go here to fix. Henri has enough troubles already, and I’ve assured him that things will be made right. What he doesn’t realize yet, though, is that solidifying his fame will not alleviate his existential angst.
That list is incomplete without Ketzel, the amazing composing cat, whose traipse across the piano was transcribed by the then-head of the Peabody composition department and entered into a contest. She won honorable mention and later received royalty checks for the piece.
It’s good to see Johnson’s cat Hodge is there.
I love the quote he says about him being a “very fine cat indeed” when he thought Hodge looked put out when Johnson said he was not the best cat he had ever had.

Make basic pancakes into super delicious cinnamon roll pancakes with just honey, butter, cinnamon, and cloves.
Author: Linnaea
Recipe type: Breakfast
Cuisine: Pancakes
Serves: 7 pancakes
Ingredients
Ingredients
Basic pancake batter (I used this recipe)
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pinch cloves
Instructions
First mix up the pancakes and then set them aside for the necessary ten minutes. Turn your pancake skillet to medium and grease with butter. Let it heat up. While the pancake batter is priming and the pan heating, put the honey, butter, cinnamon, and cloves in a saucepan on medium low heat. Stir occasionally until the honey and butter are completely melted. Remove pan from heat.
Pour the pancake onto the fry pan. Drizzle your cinnamon sauce in a swirly pattern onto the pancake. Don’t drizzle the sauce too close to the edges of the pancake or else the sauce will run off into the pan (it’s okay if a little bit runs off—it will make the pancake edges nice and crunchy).
When the pancakes are bubbly and brown on the bottom, flip and cook the other side until also brown (about two minutes).
Put the pancake on the plate and cover it in goodness. You could pour some of your cinnamon honey sauce onto the top, or you can just use butter and maple syrup. You could also try my apple cinnamon pancake sauce.

The Gun Bill That Is Going Through Congress Could Significantly Increase The Number Of Americans Banned From Buying Guns
When news that a “concealed-carry reciprocity law” had been passed by the U.S. House of Representatives, gun owners all over the nation rejoiced. But what most people didn’t realize is that there had been a last minute change to the bill that could substantially increase the number of Americans that are banned from buying guns. This poison pill completely ruins the bill, and it must be voted down. What we need is a clean “concealed-carry reciprocity bill” that does not include “Fix-NICS” in it.
Republicans rammed a bill through the House on Wednesday that would make it easier for gun owners to legally carry concealed weapons across state lines, the first significant action on guns in Congress since mass shootings in Nevada and Texas killed more than 80 people.
The House approved the bill, 231-198, largely along party lines. Six Democrats voted yes, while 14 Republicans voted no.
The measure would allow gun owners with a state-issued concealed-carry permit to carry a handgun in any state that allows concealed weapons. It now goes to the Senate.
It would be easy to assume that since virtually every single Republican voted for this bill that it must be a good thing.
But it turns out that a change was inserted into the bill at the last moment that many lawmakers never read. According to Fox News, the bill “contained an 11th-hour change to help states and agencies enter such data as criminal and domestic-violence convictions into the National Instant Criminal Background Check System for gun purchases”.
A few member of the House immediately figured out what was going on and decided to vote against the bill. One of them was U.S. Rep. Louie Gohmert…
Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) explained on Wednesday that he could not support national reciprocity because House Leadership added the gun control expansions of “Fix-NICS” to it.
“Fix-NICS” is a measure Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), Chris Murphy (D-CT), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), and John Cornyn (R-TX) support. It responds to the Air Force’s failure to report Devin Kelley’s criminal history by expanding the number of people who will be barred from gun possession going forward.
So exactly how many people could be “barred from gun possession going forward”?
Well, according to Gun Owners Of America, even people with “unpaid traffic tickets” could be banned from owning guns under this bill…
The goal of the Cornyn-Feinstein-Murphy-Schumer bill is to force every single potential NICS name to be sent to the FBI’s NICS system.
It was prompted by reports that the Air Force did not send the name of the Sutherland Springs shooter to NICS — even though he certainly could have gotten a firearm in a wide variety of ways, even if he had been in NICS, and even though his carnage was stopped by the real solution to violence … a good guy with a gun.
The problem is that, because of this isolated horror story, the Cornyn bill could add the names of millions of additional law-abiding Americans to NICS.
You already know of the 257,000 veterans who have lost their rights because of a bad experience in Iraq.
You already know that 95% of NICS denials are “false positives.”
And you probably also know that “Fix NICS” would require that the rolls of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, CHIP, and ObamaCare be trolled for recipients with PTSD, ADHD, or Alzheimer’s — that is, people who have had guardians appointed.
What you may not know is that the SECOND LARGEST CATEGORY of prohibited persons is “fugitives from justice” — and that a good portion of these are Americans who have UNPAID TRAFFIC TICKETS.
Needless to say, I would have voted against this bill, and as a member of Congress I will never compromise on the 2nd Amendment even a single inch. If you believe in what we are trying to do, I hope that you will help us to win next May.
Even though Donald Trump is in the White House, the enemies of the 2nd Amendment are still trying to sneak gun control measures through Congress, and we need leaders in Washington that will tirelessly defend our rights.

The Barden Bellas usher in the New Year 2018 as they return in Universal Pictures’ Pitch Perfect 3, the next chapter in the beloved series that has taken in more than $400 million at the global box office. The highly anticipated sequel takes a bow in Philippine cinemas on Monday, January 8.
In the film, after the highs of winning the World Championships, the Bellas find themselves split apart and discovering there aren’t job prospects for making music with your mouth. But when they get the chance to reunite for an overseas USO tour, this group of awesome nerds will come together to make some music, and some questionable decisions, one last time.
For Elizabeth Banks, this chapter represented a full-circle moment. She and her fellow producers had developed the series from its inception, and Banks stepped behind the camera to direct the juggernaut Pitch Perfect 2. As well, she has performed as the a cappella-obsessed Gail, who alongside commentator John, cannot leave the Bellas alone. It was important for the filmmaker to have the series evolve in a new direction. “This movie not only has more singing and more dancing than the previous two features, but it is a full-fledged action-adventure,” states Banks. “We were excited about the idea of literally making the Bellas action heroes, especially Fat Amy.”
At the helm of Pitch Perfect 3 is director Trish Sie, known for her critically acclaimed choreography in the Grammy Award-nominated OK Go music videos and the explosive Step Up All In. Beyond excited to join the team, Sie reveals: “I’ve been a big fan of Pitch Perfect movies ever since I saw the first one in theaters. It was one of those movies that filled me with a certain amount of existential rage, because I wished I had been a part of that film…and figured I never would get that chance.”
“Trish’s background started with OK Go, who has had some of the more spectacular music videos of the last several years,” commends Banks. “She comes from a choreography background and brings that energy you need to find in a Pitch Perfect movie. She equally gets our ridiculous sense of humor. So after meeting a number of times, it felt like Trish was the perfect choice. Away we went.”
One of the proudest moments of her astonishing career, Banks gives all her love to this chapter. “We’re thrilled to have a female director and an all-female cast, and to be promoting interesting and fun stories for women,” she provides. “There aren’t enough movies that do that. We love the message to young girls about the teamwork involved, about friendship, and what they can aspire to in their own lives. Trish brought an infectious energy to every meeting, as well as a passion and a resume that was right. We felt like we found a great person to be in charge of our film, and she just happens to be a woman. That is icing on the cake.”
Pitch Perfect 3 is distributed in the Philippines by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.

One of the prominent pathological features of Parkinson's disease (PD) is the abnormal accumulation of iron in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNpc), in the reactive microglia, and in association with neuromelanin, within the melanin-containing dopamine (DA) neurons. Lewy body, the morphological hallmark of PD, is composed of lipids, redox-active iron, and aggregated alpha-synuclein, concentrating in its peripheral halo and ubiquitinated, hyperphosphorylated, neurofilament proteins. The capacity of free iron to enhance and promote the generation of toxic reactive oxygen radicals has been discussed numerous times. Recent observations, that iron induces aggregation of inert alpha-synuclein to toxic aggregates, have reinforced the critical role of iron in oxidative stress-induced pathogenesis of DA neuron degeneration and protein degradation via ubiquitination. N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)- and 6-hydroxydopamine-induced neurodegeneration in rodents and nonhuman primates is associated with increased presence of iron and alpha-synuclein in the SNpc. The accumulation of iron in MPTP-induced neurodegeneration has been linked to nitric oxide-dependent mechanism, resulting in degradation of prominent iron regulatory proteins by ubiquitination. Radical scavengers such as R-apomorphine and green tea catechin polyphenol (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate, as well as the recently developed brain-permeable VK-28 series derivative iron chelators, which are neuroprotective against these neurotoxins in mice and rats, prevent the accumulation of iron and alpha-synuclein in SNpc. This study supports the notion that a combination of iron chelation and antioxidant therapy, as emphasized on several occasions, might be a significant approach to neuroprotection in PD and other neurodegenerative diseases.

The other lawsuit challenges the validity of two mostly Republican ballot proposals – on term limits and nonpartisan redistricting – that would allow voters to amend the state’s constitution.
And don’t for a minute think this is the last of the legal shenanigans of this campaign.
In the coming weeks and months, you will be distracted by all manner of political tricks as the campaigns throw tons of mud on the wall just to see what sticks.
It’s going to get dirty.
Cover yourself.
WHAT SHOULD YOU believe when you hear campaign commercials?
Not much.
Pretty much everything you hear from a candidate, a campaign staff, or a political party will come out of a partisan filter full of disingenuous talking points.
You will get half-truths, which are actually full lies by omission.
Casting an intelligent vote in November is going to take some hard work.
Let’s hope we’re all up to it.
GUILT BY association is a popular campaign tactic.
Take this from the National Republican Congressional Committee this week:
Nancy Pelosi is using her Super PAC to help fund vulnerable Democrats, like Cheri Bustos, in targeted districts this election cycle. By accepting Pelosi’s money, Cheri Bustos will continue to fall in line with Democratic leadership and support ObamaCare even though it is hurting Illinois families.
And this from the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee:
Former Congressman Bobby Schilling is sitting on $10,301 in campaign cash that he raised with Congressman Michael Grimm, who was arrested by the FBI earlier this week and indicted on 20 federal criminal charges. For Schilling to continue to stand by Michael Grimm while spending this scandal-tainted cash on his own re-election efforts is an endorsement of the most corrupt member of Congress in the country.
Then this on Friday from the NRCC:
Has anyone heard from Congresswoman Cheri Bustos on what she thinks of Illinois Governor Pat Quinn’s federal investigation over his alleged slush fund? With these headlines ... plaguing the Democrat governor, Bustos should let her constituents know where she stands on this issue.
Used to, the media didn’t hear the almost-daily attacks on political opponents until mid- to late September.
This will be a special year.
Already is.
KEY TO THE narrative of the Schilling campaign is that Bustos, who ousted him with 53 percent of the vote in 2012, is 1) out of touch with the district and 2) going to lose the election.
“Unfortunately for Cheri Bustos, Nancy Pelosi’s money will not be enough for her to win,” the NRCC said in its news release.
When Schilling recently challenged Bustos to 14 debates in the district’s 14 counties, his communications director, Jon Schweppe, noted that Bustos has had “zero town halls” during her first 16 months in office and “could use the face time with her constituents.”
Calls for debate generally don’t come from a front-runner; they come from the candidate who is desperate for the exposure to try to catch his opponent.
And if Bustos hasn’t made herself known throughout the district, why in the world would Schilling want to do that for her by scheduling her to appear in every county?
Both candidates have accepted an invitation to a media-sponsored debate in Rock Island County in October.
But don’t expect them to have 14 debates.
AND WHEN THEY DO get together, don’t expect a lovefest.
“There are plenty of towns where Bustos has never even stepped foot,” Schilling aide Schweppe said when the challenger proposed the debate series. “This will give Bustos the opportunity to have a substantive discussion about the issues. The voters are growing tired of her photo ops and 140 character Facebook posts – they want to hear where she stands and why she refuses to answer simple questions.”
That’s one side. Here is the other.
“Our campaign has worked extensively for weeks with local TV, newspaper and radio partners to afford voters in every corner of Illinois’ 17th Congressional District an opportunity to hear firsthand from both candidates,” said Jeremy Jansen, campaign manager for Bustos. “That is why we are pleased to accept this [debate] opportunity for all voters across our region of Illinois to learn about the stark contrast between Cheri’s record of championing jobs and working families and that of ex-Congressman Schilling, who turned his back on American workers and repeatedly voted to end the Medicare guarantee.”
Surrogates are fine, but we look forward to hearing from the candidates themselves.

#RPGaDAY: Day 24 - Most complicated RPG owned
The game which had a skill called 'Do', whichseemed a little broad.
I don't own many mechanically complex games. Easily the worst offender is Dark Heresy, which as I've noted before took five or six rolls to resolve a single combat hit from the psyker's Force staff. If I had 'Lost, in Space' to do over, I'd just have said "Okay; add Psi-Rating to Strength Bonus and Armour Pirecing; have fun with that."
However, I've already talked a lot about Warhammer in various forms, so instead I'm going to look at a game whose complications were metaphysical rather than mechanical (although it's a White Wolf old World of Darkness game, so it has its share of rules complications, from endless lists of secondary skills to a four stage resolution for each and every basic combat roll): Mage: The Ascension.
The central premise and conceit of Mage: the Ascension is that magic is a point of view. All reality is fluid, determined by the consensus beliefs of the mass of humanity. Most humans are unconscious participants in the system, Sleepers; the Awakened are the Mages whose enlightened condition allows them to impose their will on reality and say: "No, you work like this."
Magical ability was determined by Spheres - nine branches of magic, which determined what you could do - and Arete - degree of enlightenment, which determined how well you could do it. Within the dominion of your Spheres, you could basically do anything. There were some sample effects, but basically there was no spell list, no power set; if you could conceive it in terms of your Spheres, and make the Arete roll (the tricky part, as casting pools tended to be the lowest dice pools in the game), you could make it happen. The fundamental simplicity of this system was the source of its complication, because in the absence of a spell list, every casting was up for debate: Can you do this, or are you just blagging it? Nuclear blasts are the preserve of the Forces Sphere, but what if I use the Matter Sphere to create a critical mass of fissile plutonium? (Official ruling was that without Forces, the material would not be fissile, as the inherent instability of plutonium was a function of the consensus reality that you were bypassing to make the plutonium out of thin air in the first place, IIRC.)
The debate was further complicated by Paradox. When a mage tried to bend reality too far, reality could push back through a little-understood force called Paradox. Spells that worked cleverly around consensus reality were coincidental, while those that punched the consensus in the nose and called it chicken were vulgar; vulgar spells generated more Paradox, which built up inside a mage until it was either bled off, exploded, or sent a manifestation around to take you out back and give you the business, so every casting involved a measure of debate over whether something 'could have' happened.
Of course, that was all hunky-dory compared to the Technocracy issue. The Technocracy were the morally ambiguous bad guys... Sort of. They were mages who, rather than harking back to a mythical golden age of wonder, sought to create a perfect world of ordered reality... through SCIENCE! They were so succesful a sympathetic antagonist that later material on them did everything short of slapping swastikas on all their iconography to make them more obviously baddies, before giving up and making them a playable option.
The thing of it was that the Technocracy truly believed in 'enlightened Science'. They didn't see themselves as wizards monkeying with technology; they were scientists and inventors and surgeons and explorers who used Sufficiently Advanced Science (TM) to shape the future scientific paradigm of the consensus reality. And the metaphysic being what it was, they were right. Wrap your head around that, if you please; at least until the 3rd edition showed up and was all: "Nah; they're wizards monkeying with science, but now none of that consensus shit applies and the world is as it is." 3rd ed was weird in its efforts not to be weird.
Next up, in a few minutes really, my favourite RPG that no-one else wants to play. I have literally no clue what to talk about for that.

Watch Ariana Grande And James Corden Make Titanic Into A Musical
With an over three-hour runtime of the classic James Cameron epic, Titanic, it’s a wonder the dramatic love story isn’t a musical. Seeing Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet belt out their love to one another might have just made up for the heartbreaking end that still freezes our hearts. Thanks to the talents of James Corden and Ariana Grande, the 1997 Best Picture winner was shortly brought back with a little song in its step. During a recent episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden, the pair teamed-up for a five-minute tribute to Titanic, using popular tunes to soundtrack the events of the movie from beginning to end. Take a look.
This Titanic musical is quite the collaboration that brings some new life into the ’90s film. The video uses a combination of recognizable hits from the likes of Hall & Oates, Lady Gaga, One Direction and NSYNC, making for quite the mashup. James Corden and Ariana Grande performed the “musical” live for The Late Late Show with James Corden audience, an impressive feat for them to compress the events of the movie into short snippets of 13 tracks and within nine sets. As per usual on the set of The Late Late Show, Corden made the performance entertaining and Ariana Grande softly stole the show with her powerful vocals.
The soundtrack to Titanic opens with Ariana Grande as Rose singing the Styx song, “Come Sail Away” with James Corden coming in at the chorus dressed as Jack. Then quick transitions from 80s hit “Rich Girl” to Timbaland’s “The Way I Am” add comedy to the segment as Ariana slips out a light laugh and the pair start to dance like it’s 1912 with some Vogue moves thrown in. Then they reenact the iconic pose at the head of the boat while singing to “Learn to Fly” by the Foo Fighters. After Corden and Grande move along with the events in the film by singing pop hits “Just Dance” and “Steal My Girl,” Corden paints Grande like one of the French girls with Ed Sheeran’s hit “Shape of You” on his tongue.
The entertaining segment continues with the two talents pointing to cardboard icebergs while exclaiming “Ice Ice Baby.” After yelling “Timber,” James Corden and Ariana Grande pay tribute to one of the most memorable moments in movie history with a bit of Rickrolling with “Never Gonna Give You Up” and then NSYNC’s “Bye Bye Bye” as Jack sinks into the sea. The performance ends on an astonishing note, when Grande flawlessly covers Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On,” with Corden coming in at the end to finish the song off as a duet.
The mini-musical is a lovely mix of parody and talent from James Corden and Ariana Grande that brings back a bit of the magic from the timeless classic, Titanic. It also brings excitement for the two to collaborate again on an upcoming Carpool Karaoke episode, airing on The Late Late Show with James Corden on August 15.

17 splendid translation fails
Warning: Some of the following translations contain rude words
Google Translate is a wonderful, yet dangerous, invention. Without it, we would surely be lost more often than not when trying to decipher foreign languages or when trying to make ourselves understood by others.
But a blind trust in its powers can be equally as problematic. We’re not sure whether these have been put through Google Translate, but the results are definitely hilarious…

It didn't take long for John Tripp to learn what was next for his German hockey team at the Olympics.
"I got a mass of e-mails," Tripp, 32, wrote in an e-mail exchange with theWhig-Standardyesterday.
That was the first the Kingston man knew Canada would be Germany's next opponent.
"It's going to be cool and the house will be packed," Tripp wrote.
"Every game (the stands are) full, but this one will be special."
Indeed, it's a dream scenario for Tripp -- playing Canada in Canada before a thunderous crowd at 7:30 tonight at Canada Hockey Place.
A professional in Germany (homeland of his maternal grandparents) since 2004, Tripp has played Canada twice at the world championship -- a 10-1 loss in 2008 in Halifax and a 3-2 loss in 2007 in Russia -- but a loser-goes-home Olympic match on Canadian soil dwarfs those previous contests.
The Canadians (1-1-0-1) will be heavily favoured against Germany (0-3), despite Canada's troubles early in the tournament. Canada was forced into the qualification-round confrontation with Germany by a 5-3 loss to the United States on Sunday.
While Tripp knows few people will be picking the Germans to win, there are no sure things in a one-game showdown. Canada needed a shootout to beat Switzerland, similarly a hefty underdog, earlier in the tournament.
"Anything can happen in these games," Tripp wrote, "so it should be a blast."
It already has been a blast for Tripp, who has scored one of Germany's three goals in the tournament. Against Belarus on Saturday, he gobbled up a loose puck in the slot and fired it home to cut his team's deficit to 3-2. Belarus went on to win the game 5-3.
"Every time he gets out there, tears come," said Rosie Tripp, John's mother, who is in Vancouver with her husband, Bill. "The goal he scored the other night, it was beautiful. He was bound and bent that the puck was going to go in.
"We were right there watching it come toward the net," Rosie added yesterday while enjoying a bus tour through Vancouver. "It was just like it went in in slow motion."
John Tripp also had the chance to march with German athletes at the opening ceremony last Friday at B.C. Place. While there, he met up with a fellow Kingston native, Jayna Heff o rd, a star for the Canadian women's hockey team.
When both Hefford and Tripp were nine years old, they were teammates -- and even linemates for most of the season -- on a Kingston Township rep travelling team.
Tripp and Hefford gathered up Canadian hockey forward Gillian Apps, who also has Kingston roots, for a snapshot.
"Waiting in the tunnel for your country to be called and then walking out to 50,000 people was pretty cool," Tripp wrote. "Our outfits were pretty funny and extremely hot."
"We won't see the closing (ceremony), so I'm pretty happy I got to participate in (the opening ceremony)."
Cheering on her son and his German teammates tonight will be Rosie Tripp, a proud Canadian and an even prouder mother.
"It doesn't get any better," she said. "I don't even want to say anything to jinx it. I just hope it's good hockey.
"We just found out (yesterday) morning on television when they said it was Germany playing Canada. We just said, 'Oh, wow.'"

It was the rear driver's side motor went out. Cost $45.00 for new motor. Thank goodness I have a husband who knows how to fix all this stuff gone wrong with this vehicle. I have only had this thing for 3 months and I can't believe the money I have put into it. Stay away from this vehicle and the company who manufactured this garbage. They won't repair any problems.

Door switch stopped working and I couldn't even roll the window back up. It went down but would not go back up. My husband rigged it up until I was able to purchase a new one and he replaced it. Another 62.00 dollars.
Gee, thanks Ford for manufacturing a POS vehicle and selling it to people who work their asses off every day.

Back in July 2013 my front passenger window stopped working, also my rear driver's side window stopped working. I paid $260 to get them fixed. In December they stopped working again, I did not have them fixed. The man who looked at them said there is a default in them somewhere that they won't keep working. I want them fixed right.

last friday the coldest day of the year here in ohio, I put my window down to adjust the mirror and it would not come back up. when you push the button it went deeper down and stopped working all together.I had to drive home with the window open with a wind chill of -8. I was really pissed off.

I have really loved this SUV - up until this past year. One of the back power windows a few months ago suddenly fell down a couple of inches and stayed there. Nothing happened when I pressed the switch. What a pain! We taped plastic up to keep the elements out, which is really attractive, until I got it fixed . . . $350.00 later. A couple of months later the same thing happened on the other side! I couldn't leave anything in the car as it could be easily entered, my kids were getting rained on and embarrassed to be seen riding with plastic & duct tape on a window again. So I had to spend money on a repair again! One time they told me it was the switch, the other window they told me it was the motor. Yesterday, one of the windows I already had fixed dropped down a couple of inches!! I can't keep doing these $300+ repairs every couple of months for the same thing! We pulled the window up & put a little wedge of wood on the inside to keep it from falling again. Now I've got kids complaining that they can't lower the windows cause I'm afraid they will get stuck down again. I was parked by a guy in a shopping center who had the same exact car as me. I asked him if he ever had any problem with the windows & he said YES he's had to have them fixed THREE TIMES! Why isn't this a recall?

I own two Ford trucks, one being an 2002 explorer. 3 out of the 8 power windows between the two have gone bad. That by itself is annoying and inexcusable to be honest.
But after hearing people spending anywhere from $300 to $600 per window to get them fixed i decided to do one myself. The replacement piece comes as one unit - regulator, motor, cable and all brackets. All assembled. In a four door explorer, there is a different part number for each door - front and rear, right and left sides.
I bought the two rear units (which had both failed) from en Ebay seller for $90 each which included shipping. They come with NO instructions so be prepared to search online for help. Especially look at YouTube where there is always something useless for damn near everything.
Each one took about 2 hours. and i saved conceivably $400-$1000.
BTW - the failure? It was a small plastic piece on the end of the cables that simply broke off. Amazing that Ford thought this would actually hold up more than a few years if that long.

While on vacation I rolled the window rear passenger window down, when I arrived at the hotel the window would not roll up. I had to pay a gas station attendant to take the door panel off and get the window up. I cannot to this day open the rear passenger door from the inside. October 2010 I rolled the rear driver window down and it would not roll back up. I paid someone to get the window up until I could get it repaired, but in the meantime I'm having to use cardboard to hold the window up.

Drivers side window automatically goes down - will not go back up. I have replaced master power window switch 4 times (approx $35 each time) I now plug one into to put windows up, and swap it to put the window back up. From reading other issues - I believe the wiring harness needs replaced. I am sure this will be a dealer item and cost a fortune. Any assistance on where to purchase the wiring harness or details on how to fix ourselves would be greatly appreciated! If I can get that fixed, the switch is still under warranty and will be replaced for free!!

I just bought this P.O.S on Saturday. Put it in the garage to change rear diff fluid, and rolled the window driver's window down. I changed the fluid (which didn't help), and started the car to back up. I hit the window switch, and nothing, I tried the other windows, nothing. W.T.F. I will be getting rid of this P.O.S.,as soon as I can. I'll probably take a loss on this thing ,but I don't care . It is unsafe to drive, with windows that don't operate. In an emergency you could be trapped in the vehicle. Now I know why people buy foreign vehicles! This is the last FORD that I will ever own.

OK SO I JUST GOT MY CAR BACK ON WEDNESDAY AND HERE IT IS SATURDAY AND THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW IS DOWN AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! THIS WILL BE THE 7TH TIME THAT THE SWITCH HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THIS VEHICLE SINCE I BOUGHT IT 8 MONTHS AGO!!!!!!!! THIS IS BEYOND RIDICULOUS AND IS DANGEROUS!!! FORD REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE THIS AS A DANGEROUS ISSUE BUT WHEN WE HAVE TO JUMP THE WINDOW BACK UP AND LEAVE THE SWITCH DISCONNECTED THAT IS DANGEROUS!!!!! YOUR WINDOWS NEED TO BE ABLE TO COME DOWN IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT!!! SO WHO ARE THESE IDIOTS THAT SAY THIS IS NOT DANGEROUS?! THEY ARE SOME OVERPAID JERKS WHO PROBABLY DRIVE LEXUS, MERCEDES, OR JAGUARS AND CONSIDER US THE LITTLE PEOPLE!! WELL GUESS WHAT!! WE LITTLE PEOPLE PAY YOUR BILLS AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT THIS LOYAL FORD CUSTOMER IS NO LONGER LOYAL AND WILL BE BUYING ANOTHER MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE!!!!!!!! ANYONE CONSIDERING BUYING A FORD EXPLORER, ESPECIALLY A 2002 DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND JUST DON'T!!!!!!!

I bought this vehicle just 8 months ago and this is the 6th time I have had to have this problem repaired!!!!!! This is absolutely ridiculous!! And to be honest FORD can go to h*!!!! I will NEVER again purchase a FORD!!!!!! The thing that I don't understand is that FORD refuses to recall this issue because they say that it is not dangerous!!! Ok...leave me run a scenario by the FORD idiots that say this is NOT dangerous...I am involved in an accident, I am unconscious, the only way for my 4 children in the back of my Explorer to get out is to wind down their windows....BUT THEY CAN'T CAUSE I HAVE THE PLUG DISCONNECTED BECAUSE MY WINDOWS WILL NOT STOP GOING DOWN ON THEIR OWN!!!!! So say my Explorer is on fire and now my kids cannot get out because of your so called intelligent people that make this oh so great decision that this is NOT a danger to anyone (guess we should just keep forking out $100 to $300 to fix it every month or more) and now my husband and the father of my kids is now going to sue the h* out of FORD because we all died just because our windows wouldn't go down!!!!!!!!!!! SERIOUSLY I GET THAT THIS IS A LITTLE FAR FETCHED BUT THIS IS REALITY AND CAN POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE!!!!!!!!!!

Grand Rapids was 3-4 inches of rain from disaster
GRAND RAPIDS (AP) -- The swollen Grand River came uncomfortably close to breaching its flood walls and causing disastrous flooding in Grand Rapids earlier this month, a National Weather Service hydrologist said.
Flooding forced an estimated 1,700 people from the Grand Rapids area to head to higher ground.
With the river already rising, an April 19 storm was forecast to dump 1 to 2 inches of rain, but only about one-third of an inch materialized.
Advertisement
An extra 3 to 4 inches of rain likely would have been enough to bring the water up against the bottoms of downtown bridges and force it up against flood walls in the city of 188,000, weather service hydrologist Mark Walton told MLive.com (http://bit.ly/10LU8hI ).
"Once it gets into the bridges, who knows what would have happened?" Walton said. "We were very close to putting us to the limit. ... Three or 4 inches ... that would have done it."
Walton said a "game changer" happened when the April 19 rain fell short of the forecast.
The Grand River reached a record 21.85 feet, or 3.85 feet above flood stage last Monday. But it never approached the record flow rate of 109 years before, Walton said.
A 1904 flood had water traveling through a downtown stretch of the river at 54,000 cubic feet per second, Walton said. Back then, the flood walls hadn't been built, meaning the water spread farther but didn't rise as high. The volume last week measured 35,000 cubic feet per second.
The chances that Michigan's second-largest city will experience another flood like this year's are about a 6 percent each year, Walton said. That means it happens about once every 16 years.
On Sunday, the Grand River at Grand Rapids was at 14.9 feet, 3.1 feet below flood stage, and falling, according to the weather service.
The river remained over flood stage at two other spots Sunday. Just upstream from Grand Rapids, it stood at 12.9 feet, or 0.9 feet over, at Comstock Park in Kent County's Plainfield Township. The river level was 14 feet, or 0.7 feet over flood stage, in Ottawa County's Robinson Township.

This connector seems broken to me, as the plastic locking part has separated from the body of the connector. I couldn't figure out the orientation of the locking part until I started this message. Now I think I have. It has clicked in nicely. I'm worried that it isn't very secure because of the broken bit, so have used a bit of sticky tape to hold the cable to the board.
Now I have found the same problem on another connector. Same solution. This laptop has suffered at the hands of a previous attempt at repair by the looks. The power socket, which was loose in the body of the laptop, has loose wires, bad soldering, with broken location lugs in the body. A good old bit of Aussie "bush mechanics" is all I can do. Here's hoping.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
Aside from the original version of hummus, I think roasted red pepper might be the most versatile flavor. The sweetness of the red pepper really goes well with the tartness of the lemon juice and the slight bitterness of the tahini. Like all of my hummus recipes, I do not use oil because the tahini adds plenty of creaminess and keeps it really healthy as far as dips go.
To roast your own red pepper, core and seed it, cut it in half, and stick it under the broiler of the oven until the skin blisters. Keep an eye on it so it doesn’t completely burn. The air fryer also works for this step. Use the hottest temperature.
Put the pepper in a sealed plastic bag until the skin slides off easily.
Hummus
Put the roasted red pepper or 4 oz. of the jarred variety into a food processor along with all of the following:
2 cloves garlic
1 can or 1 1/2 c. chickpeas
1/4 – 1/2 c. water
2 T. lemon juice
2 T. tahini
1/2 t. salt
Process until the texture is very smooth. Serve roasted red pepper hummus with crackers or vegetables. It is also good in a wrap with fresh vegetables!

Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard have a lust for power in this first trailer for MACBETH. The latest adaptation of the William Shakespeare tragedy comes from SNOWTOWN and THE TURNING director Justin Kurzel (who is set to re-team with Fassbender and Cotillard for the planned ASSASSIN'S CREED movie), and it received an excellent response when it premiered at this year's Cannes Film Festival. The upcoming film also stars Sean Harris (PROMETHEUS), Elizabeth Debicki (THE GREAT GATSBY), Paddy Considine (THE WORLD'S END) and Jack Reynor (TRANSFORMERS: AGE OF EXTINCTION).
"I am in blood, stepped in so far..."
This is a pretty impressive teaser trailer in my opinion, and really love how the film looks. MACBETH could potentially be a major player come awards season (most of the early reviews have been very positive), and I, for one, can't wait to check out Justin Kurzel's big screen take on the play.
MACBETH doesn't have a U.S. release date yet, but it will hit U.K. theaters on October 2, 2015.

Lace Dress, 3 Ways
Yesterday I mentioned that I purposely left this lace dress unlined so that I could play with different things underneath it. I have a few slip dresses, but I’ll probably be making a few more from this pattern and just leaving the tie off the middle. This is a great way to play with different looks from one piece – a change of colors and accessories and this dress can go through all the seasons – even winter!
For the first look I put a hot pink one dress and added a bright cobalt blue patent leather belt and gold flats.
I think it’s a pretty look for a spring event – the lace is feminine and playful with the bright colors.
Heels would probably look great too, except I’m not often a heels girl. I like to be comfortable.
To go even more casual, you can do the essential Texas spring style of adding your cowgirl boots (mine are vintage) and a denim jacket.
Since I wanted a more subtle color for this look, I put a yellow slip dress under. This dress is actually really bright, but the lace tones it down.
And finally, I actually wore this dress to dinner last month at Alt in Salt Lake City. Over a gray turtleneck sweater dress and with fleece lined leggings and boots, it was pretty but warm, which is important because I get cold so easy.
I added a silver tassle necklace, because I’m not quite all aboard the gold jewelry trend yet, and I felt comfortable and myself wearing this.
So there we go – three ways to wear a lace dress. Hope you have a great weekend!

You have made a gorgeous all season dress. I would not have believed lace could be so dressed down and yet so elegant and yet again look so comfortable. Your dress is not only for all seasons but for all occasions! Kudos for a job so well done. Also you look absolutely wonderful in all of the pictures.
Thanks for compiling all the ways to wear this style. I really like the version with the pink slip dress. This might have to be on my sewing list for this summer! I appreciate so many of your tips and tutorials!

Sorry, atheists, but you’re wrong: The death of ‘Love your neighbour’
Published: 5 June 2014 (GMT+10)
Our country, Australia, has changed dramatically in our lifetime. The streets were a much safer place when we were young than they are today.
For example, when we were young, we put empty glass milk bottles outside our front gate each night, along with the money for tomorrow’s milk. If we didn’t have the exact coinage, we’d place a $1 note half-way under one of the empty bottles—so it couldn’t be blown by the wind but in plain view for the milkman. By morning we’d find in its place our milk, along with the right change.
Everyone else in the street did the same. But we don’t know anyone who does that anymore. The situation now is very different from what it was in the 1960s.
In fact, young people today are incredulous when you tell them how it used to be. “What!?”, they say, astonished, “You used to leave money on the street? And it wasn’t stolen?”
You see, today the situation in Australia has deteriorated way beyond secretive, night-time ‘petty thieving’ of milk money on the footpath. There are now frequent drive-by handbag snatchings from older, vulnerable women, in broad daylight, for example. One lady we know of was badly injured because the handbag strap remained around her neck, so she was dragged by the car for some distance until the strap broke. (We’re told this is not unique to Australia1—overseas, there have even been deaths so caused.2)
Worldwide, crime rates soared for several decades until more recently when a different pattern emerged as highlighted in a magazine article which suggested rates were falling.3 But that article also provided a number of reasons for the ‘decline’ which explains a shift away from certain types of crime. (See box: Are crime rates really falling, or are there other explanations?)
There are varying factors at work in different countries because South Africa, with its unique recent history, has experienced a surge in crime, particularly murder, which is about four-and-a-half-times higher than the global average.4
Police lament it’s now both genders committing violent crimes—indeed, some say that women are even more vicious than the men.
The violence associated with robberies at shops and private homes today even shocks the police. They lament it’s now both genders committing violent crimes—indeed, some say that women are even more vicious than the men.5 Knives, baseball bats, and guns are the tools of the thieves’ ‘trade’ used to threaten terrified fuel station attendants and employees at fast-food outlets during a robbery. And today, something else is now happening. The downhill slide has now grown from petty theft to robbery with violence to random violence. It’s actually been an increasing phenomenon in the past decade or so but two deaths in separate incidents in 2012 certainly brought it into sharper media focus. Here’s how ABC (Australia) radio presenter Fran Kelly introduced a segment on the issue on her nation-wide ‘Breakfast’ program:6
FRAN KELLY: Another king-hit, another death. Nine days ago, teenager Thomas Kelly died after he was king-hit in Sydney’s Kings Cross.7 Now two men, one of them former NRL8 star Craig Field, have been charged with the death of a 50-year-old man who was allegedly king-hit on the NSW North Coast yesterday.
More often than not, this kind of violence is alcohol-related. Doctors at the trauma unit at Sydney’s St Vincent’s hospital say they are seeing more injuries due to alcohol-related violence, almost on a daily basis. They say the nature of the violence is changing too, with attacks becoming more vicious.
[In the aftermath of the death of Thomas Kelly and other individuals because of violent, unprovoked assaults and subsequent perceived inadequate penalties, the New South Wales State Government—along with other Australian States—introduced ‘one-punch’ laws to allow the judiciary to impose relevant sanctions.]9
Fran Kelly then proceeded to interview the Head of the Emergency Department at St Vincent’s Hospital in Sydney, Professor Gordian Fulde, who has treated many victims of the random street attacks.
People have become more violent and angry at each other, for very little, if any, reason—Dr Gordian Fulde, St Vincent’s Hospital, Sydney, Australia
DR GORDIAN FULDE: People have become more violent and angry at each other, for very little, if any, reason. And it just is scary how people are being hit, people are being stomped on—I mean that’s just a term which, that if you really think about it, is unthinkable, where somebody is on the ground, unconscious, and still there’s several people kicking somebody who is obviously defenceless.
Dr Fulde acknowledged that while drunken violence was unfortunately not new in Australia, there now seemed to be no limits, i.e. no longer any sense of restraint. He made this observation when answering Fran Kelly’s question, “What do you think is going on?”:
DR GORDIAN FULDE: Don’t know—I mean, if you go into the alleged ‘good old days’, you know, if somebody said ‘Look, come outside’ and maybe, you know, they knew they were going to have a fight. And then if that person was hit, and went to the ground, things stopped, or … In other words, there was some sort of, if you will, ‘codes of conduct’ or ‘codes of war’, but now there’s none whatsoever. And the king-hit—I hate that term, I think it should be called the ‘killer punch’—is vicious, because by definition, the person doesn’t see it coming, so they can’t defend themselves, they can’t brace themselves, and—I think in South Australia, David Hookes, and things like that, some time ago—when the person’s head hits the ground, that’s when the massive brain damage and fatalities happen.”
The late David Hookes that Dr Fulde refers to here was an Australian sporting identity (cricket player and coach) who died in 2004 as a result of being punched on a street footpath in Melbourne. Dr Fulde went on to describe modern Australia’s increasingly violent ‘street culture’:
DR GORDIAN FULDE: “You hear about it—people can be walking along, and suddenly somebody, for whatever reason, hits them. They can be standing in the queue at the takeaway at two o’clock in the morning, and suddenly ‘bang’—somebody’s taken exception, for whatever reason. No, unfortunately it’s become a bit of our sort of Australian street culture. ”
FRAN KELLY: “Are you talking to people who you’re treating … to get any sense of why this is part of the culture now, the king-hit, the gang kicking?”
DR GORDIAN FULDE: “I think we’ve just, it comes down to in my opinion, that we’ve become a more angry, violent, vicious society. If you turn anywhere, be it the news, be it the video games, be it anything else, even a football match—you know, what really is put up there first is somebody’s had a terrible tackle, or a terrible head clash—we seem to be fascinated by violence, and I think, a lot of it is fed to children and all of us all the time.”
With the decline of Christianity, the rise of post-modernism and Eastern mysticism, the West can expect to see more of the poverty and lack of compassion so evident in non-Christian countries. The above drawing by Caleb Salisbury is from page 144 of Christianity for Skeptics. This book is a stunning general defence of the Christian faith—the outcome of CMI’s prolific author Dr Jonathan Sarfati teaming up with famous New Zealand apologist Dr Steve Kumar. The book has become an instant bestseller, dramatically demonstrating the need that this project fills—a general apologetics book combined with solid Creation evidences. Lay Christians have certainly resonated with its theme and many are buying bulk copies to give to their doubting friends (as well as using it to strengthen their own faith). Indeed, as Dr Sarfati himself commented: “My previous books have essentially presupposed that the Bible and Christianity are true, and mainly explained the proper interpretation and scientific support. This new book contains evidence for the truth of the Bible and that Jesus was the Son of God as He claimed.”
There are many people who would surely agree with Dr Fulde on that point. Since the 1960s Australian schools have increasingly taught that we are the result of millions of years of evolution, that it’s a dog-eat-dog world where today’s life-forms are the outcome of ‘nature red in tooth and claw’, a survival-of-the-fittest contest. However, not surprisingly given the ABC’s history of anti-Christian bias, nowhere in the interview did Fran Kelly refer to the rise of evolutionary teaching, or to the loss of Christian culture. Instead, she endeavoured to prompt Dr Fulde to pin the blame on lax alcohol laws, or inadequate policing.
FRAN KELLY: “You’ve been working at St Vincent’s a long time. Have you seen a change or a spike in alcohol-related violence, would you say the intensity of alcohol in this mix has changed?”
DR GORDIAN FULDE: “You’re on the money there. I mean, people have been drinking, people have been fighting, since whenever, right? No, it’s now sort of the randomness. We have these words, I don’t like either, like ‘rage’. You have parking rage, people get into a rage about a trolley in a supermarket, you know. And it’s both genders, it’s not just the boys. We’re just nastier to each other, over the smallest reason.”
The presenter asked Dr Fulde about possible solutions, e.g. more police, compulsory earlier closing of nightclubs/bars, or limiting alcohol outlets/sales. He accepted that these could all be helpful, but were clearly not the whole answer.
DR GORDIAN FULDE: “There obviously has to be a whole lot of things [strategies] put in. I don’t think the police can do it all. We all don’t want police on every street corner all the time. That (a) costs taxpayers a lot of money and (b) doesn’t totally solve the problem.” “Trying to catch a taxi at two or three o’clock in the morning—people fight about it. They fight at the queue for taxis, the taxi drivers get molested. It’s awful—it’s a war over a taxi.”
So, if alcohol restrictions are only part of the solution, what is the key element that Dr Fulde believes is needed? He really ‘nails it’ in this next sentence.
What we’re really talking about is a community attitude—Dr Gordian Fulde
And not just in Australia’s two biggest cities, Melbourne and Sydney. In the city of Brisbane, another ABC radio presenter, Steve Austin, interviewed then Royal Brisbane Hospital maxillo-facial surgeon Dr Anthony Lynham.10 One of the morning newspaper headlines that day had proclaimed, “Hospitals struggle to deal with the regular flow of the weekend wounded at emergency wards”.11 Here’s how Steve Austin introduced his listeners to the topic:12
STEVE AUSTIN: “I want to take you inside Monday morning in a major Brisbane hospital. This morning is normally the morning from hell. Alcohol-fuelled violence is on the increase, and it’s putting a huge drain on our health system. According to Queensland Health figures for the first nine months of the 2011–2012 year, 761 patients were admitted to public hospitals after being hit, struck, kicked, twisted, bitten or scratched by another person. And this is the busiest time of the week for those left to pick up the pieces, including Dr. Anthony Lynham, a maxillo-facial surgeon from the Royal Brisbane Hospital.”
It’s a lack of respect from one human being for another—Dr Anthony Lynham, Royal Brisbane Hospital maxillo-facial surgeon
With the interview underway, Dr Lynham described how the violence had increased and become nastier in recent years, and that “now we’re seeing a lot more unprovoked assaults”—but couldn’t say why. He and his hospital team now face having to treat an average of 40–60 assault victims every week. Just like Dr Fulde in Sydney, Brisbane’s Dr Lynham called for a stop to the violence:
DR ANTHONY LYNHAM: “Unless someone does something at the primary prevention level, we’re just going to keep pouring more and more money at this level, and it is ridiculous. You want me to go around putting titanium plates in your kids’ faces … well, the way things are going, it’s just going to keep going.”
“It’s a lack of respect from one human being for another. I think we have to go back to some old-fashioned values.”13
Sorry, atheists, but if you thought an attitude of neighbourly love is naturally ‘inherent’ in humanity, then time has proven you wrong. You are currently witnessing the ‘death’ of the love-your-neighbour ethos in your city streets.
‘Old-fashioned values’, eh? Well how about this one:
“Love your neighbor as yourself.”—Matthew 22:39b
And, in the same vein:
“And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them.”—Luke 6:31
Those words were the words of Jesus, as recorded in the Bible. So well known is the ‘love your neighbour’ commandment that it is widely referred to as ‘the Golden Rule’.
Now it so happens that leading atheists, well aware of the widespread (and correct) understanding that evolution opens the way for an opportunistic ‘anything-goes’ morality, have sought to strategically claim the Golden Rule as simply being an outcome of evolution. They say the Golden Rule is somehow ‘inherent’ to humanity.14 “Everybody knows it,” they say.
One atheist website even listed something akin to the Golden Rule as being at the top of its list of 10 secular ‘commandments’!15 But evolution doesn’t ‘command’ anything—the very reason that it is so appealing to many. E.g., self-professed atheist Thomas Nagel,16 Professor of Philosophy at New York University, said:
“I want atheism to be true and am made uneasy by the fact that some of the most intelligent and well informed people I know are religious believers. It isn’t just that I don’t believe in God and naturally, hope there is no God! I don’t want there to be a God; I don’t want the universe to be like that.”17 [Emphasis added.]
And the late renowned evolutionist Aldous Huxley, author of Brave New World and grandson of T.H. Huxley, ‘Darwin’s Bulldog’, was similarly candid about the ‘benefits’ of having an evolutionary view of origins (given that evolutionary biology renders life as ultimately meaningless18):
“I had motive for not wanting the world to have a meaning; … For myself, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation, sexual and political.”19
So for atheists to claim that the Golden Rule is somehow ‘inherent’ in humans, a product of our evolution, is surely disingenuous at best. And with now more than five decades since the imposition of the near-universal teaching of evolution in schools and tertiary educational institutions in western countries, the ‘fruit’ of evolutionary teaching should by now be starkly evident to everyone old enough to remember what our streets used to be like. When it was still safe to leave the milk money on the footpath outside your gate. And even the car-key in the ignition. The first Holden cars made in Australia did not even require an ignition key to start them. How times have changed. Attitudes have changed.
Sorry, atheists, but if you had a strategy to ensure that the ‘inherent’ Golden Rule would remain in the forefront of people’s minds as society became increasingly estranged from Christianity, it clearly isn’t working. If you thought an attitude of neighbourly love is naturally ‘inherent’ in humanity, then time has proven you wrong. You are currently witnessing the ‘death’ of the love-your-neighbour ethos in your city streets, and everywhere else. As someone who has to travel those same streets, we are not at all appreciative of what the teaching of your favoured origins paradigm has done to people’s attitudes.
If we are to change people’s attitudes as per the plea of Drs Fulde and Lynham, and return to the ‘old-fashioned value’ of loving one’s neighbour, we need to return to the source of that ‘old-fashioned value’ in the first place. So let’s go back and look at the context in which Jesus said “Love your neighbour” in Matthew 22:39b. He had just been asked by the Pharisees (v. 36), “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” Here is Jesus’ reply in full:
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”—Matthew 22:37–40
Note: “a second is like it”. Integral to, and ultimately inseparable from, the first. Our capacity to love at all comes from God, our Creator, who is Love (1 John 4:8,16). We love because God first loved us (1 John 4:19). And note that the aforementioned, “And as you wish that others would do to you, do so to them” in Luke 6:31 leads on to Jesus saying that this will show we are “sons of the most High” (v. 35)—we are to “Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” (v. 36) So, if our community is to return to the good ‘old-fashioned value’ of loving your neighbour, it has to return to the whole package from whence it came as well.
If our community is to return to the good ‘old-fashioned value’ of loving your neighbour, it has to return to the whole package from whence it came.
Of course, this will be anathema to atheists. Atheism denies we have a Creator, a Father in heaven—the source of our capacity to love—as evolution posits instead that these are mere concoctions of the human mind, a product of the evolutionary process, a biological characteristic conferring survival advantage to the human species. In other words, atheists say that humans invented love and notions of God, thanks to evolution. It seems to me that the following passage from Isaiah is an apt rebuke for today’s atheists:
You turn things upside down! Shall the potter be regarded as the clay, that the thing made should say of its maker, “He did not make me”; or the thing formed say of him who formed it, “He has no understanding”?—Isaiah 29:16
The increasingly evident barbarism in our streets since the ramping-up of school evolutionary curricula five decades ago ought to be a wake-up call to all that ‘turning things upside down’ clearly hasn’t worked.20
Richard Lewontin from Harvard University wrote regarding schools in the USA: “Evolution … was barely mentioned in school textbooks as late as 1954 … After Sputnik [1957] … the study of evolution was suddenly in all the schools.”21 Over the next decade, evolutionary curricula spread from the USA and became the norm in most western countries, filtering from the evolutionary-focused university system right down to primary school level (and often to the children’s parents). As a result, the background thinking of people regarding politics, religion, and morality changed dramatically as well.
It’s interesting that in some things, e.g. the matter of charitable giving and true concern for others, some atheists and other non-Christians have been astute enough to correctly credit Christianity as being the motivating force driving support for the funding of charities. They have recognized the Gospel as being foundational to compassionate attitudes.22 But this matter of street violence really highlights the failure of atheism’s even minimalist ‘do good’ claims. The ‘Golden Rule’ of the aforementioned secular ‘10 commandments’ doesn’t actually say it in a positive way as Jesus said (“Do to others …”), but rather in the negative: “Do not do to others what you would not want them to do to you.”23 Note that this is a much easier ‘commandment’ to fulfil, than the one from the God of the Bible! (The illustrations on pp. 144 and 158 in chapter 6, “What about other religions?”, of the book Christianity for Skeptics reproduced in this article make this point beautifully—poverty and a general lack of compassion are so much more evident in countries/regions with majority non-Christian populations!) Yet as the increasing random street violence in the formerly Christian west shows, even the atheists’ “Don’t do …” soft-option ‘Golden Rule’ is manifestly ‘non-inherent’!
What the West would consider callousness and hardness-of-heart is a logical consequence of Eastern religious ideas. The above drawing by Caleb Salisbury is one of the illustrations from Chapter 6, “What about other religions?”, in Christianity for Skeptics (page 158). The book also contains cutting edge material on design in nature and the Christian roots of science, and with its modern, catchy full colour cartoon-style illustrations it is a real ‘pick me up and read me’ book.
In conclusion: A minor prediction—and an appeal to atheists
Readers will note there’s a “Comment on this article” facility at the close of this article. On the basis of our past experiences publishing articles on this same topic (e.g. see listings under ‘Related articles’ and ‘Further reading’ below), we’d like to make a minor prediction. Given the tone of comments received in the past, we forecast that many atheist readers of this article will want to rush to submit comments expressing their outrage24 at their perception that we are accusing them of being immoral, of being incapable of doing good things. But that is not what we are saying—not now, nor in any of our other articles that have so incensed atheists in the past. Note that Jesus, too, didn’t say that unbelievers (sinners, pagans, etc.) were incapable of doing good things:
“If you love those who love you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what benefit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.”—Luke 6:32–33
So our appeal to atheists on this issue is this. Before rushing in to comment on this article, please first go and read this excellent article by CMI’s Dr Don Batten: Why do atheists hate God? Note the many hostile responses to that article published beneath it. See if they mirror your own reaction. Then please note how Dr Batten has graciously responded to those ‘arguments’/accusations. In short, what we’re saying is: if you think you have some ‘new’ objection, don’t be in too much of a hurry to send it to us, because chances are we’ve heard it all before.
By way of conclusion, here’s a sample extract from feedback to Why do atheists hate God?, from US self-described atheist Mark N. …
“Why do atheists do good things, How about the ‘Golden Rule’? That has been around far longer than Christianity. I REALLY would like to believe in Fairy-Tales because the cold, callous nature of REALITY isn’t always pleasing nor is our ULTIMATE fate (Yes, you too will be worm food, bet on it) but I can’t fool myself so I feel better. Your BEST bet is on science, IF any of us will become immortal or immortal like, it will be because of hard work from our fellow travelers.”
… and here’s the latter part of Don Batten’s response:
The ‘golden rule’ is not universal. Just think how its practice was so lacking in those states that based themselves most strongly on atheism: the USSR, North Korea, Albania. Think also about societies based on other major religions; how much do people follow the ‘golden rule’ (which is explicitly stated in both the Old and New Testaments of the Bible)? And what evidence is there that the ‘golden rule’ predates the Bible? But more importantly, only Jesus said, “love your enemies”;25 that is peculiar to Christianity and a major reason for the civil societies that exist today based on that heritage. This heritage is rapidly being lost and we are descending into an age of barbarism.
Jesus’ resurrection is God’s guarantee that death is not the end. While all our bodies might well be ‘worm food’, that is not all there is. Romans 8:11 says,
“If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.”
Amen to that.
Are crime rates really falling, or are there other explanations?
Despite reported indications that crime rates are falling, the reality is that there has been a shift to different types of illegal activities.
Consider some of the technical advancements that restrain people from committing such acts as rape, murder, burglary, etc:
Prominent UK atheist A.C. Grayling recently joked, “You can see we no longer really believe in God, because of all the CCTV cameras keeping watch on us.”27 See ‘Is God watching?’
The threat of being caught out by leaving behind DNA at the scene of a crime.
CCTV footage catches people in the act and cameras are now more prevalent in public places, businesses and even private homes.
Police have far more sophisticated investigative tools to work with—such as DNA and CCTV—and also can track individuals from such things as receipts, banking records, and telephone usage.
Bank robberies are almost a thing of the past because of the advance of security measures.
Consider also that many acts have been decriminalized, and/or under-reported:
Definitions of what constitutes a ‘criminal act’ have changed.
Compared to the 1950s, people in many western countries are now much less likely to report crime, especially property crime. Fifty years ago, if someone lost his wallet, he would report it to the police and the police would take it seriously. In most cities today, few would bother even reporting it now. Graffiti was almost unheard of, but it would be reported on the rare occasions that it happened, etc.
Also, the way in which statistics are gathered has changed, and how they are presented can strongly influence perceptions. E.g. the ‘decline’ in some major crime rates such a murder (where it is claimed) is only relative; it is a decline from record highs not long ago. And property crime in Australia is still twenty times what it was in the 1950s.
And where is the surge in new types of crime?
On the internet where all manner of fraud is rife, such as stealing passwords to raid bank accounts.

Actually, some recent reports are indicating that not only has the crime scene ‘changed’, but that such changes are actually contributing to an overall increase in crime rates. E.g. in the Australian state of Victoria, the police have reported a 5% increase in crime rates associated with the introduction of ‘tap-and-go’ credit cards. “We’re seeing many, many theft of motor cars, handbags and burglaries where people are looking for these cards, are getting hold of them and within hours of getting them, they’re going into stores and using them,“ explained the Chief Commissioner of Police, Ken Lay. “They [tap-and-go credit cards] are chewing up an enormous amount of police resources. The banks build in a margin where they absorb the cost of the theft … but this is just another sign of some of the changing offending that we’re facing.” ABC News, Tap-and-go cards contributing to increase in crime, police say, www.abc.net.au/news/, 28 May 2014.

I fear we have now got the society that the so-called "progressives" always wanted. A society where anyone can do what ever they want. We shouldn't be surprised at this, the basic doctrine of evolution is survival of the fittest. "Love thy neighbour...." it is radical, to today's world it is peculiar, but it works.
Ken F.,Australia, 5 June 2014
A well written article with a poignant appeal to atheists. I would like to recommend one of your publications I recently read that answers the claims of one of the current 'most credible' and aggressive atheists, Richard Dawkins. The book is The Dawkins Proof for the existence of God, by Richard Barns. It is brief but a most worthwhile read. Thank you for your stand for the truth.
john P.,Australia, 5 June 2014
Mark N [the US atheist mentioned in the article] may find himself worm food for eternity if he does not revise his attitude. What he fails to realise is the saving gospel is no myth, unlike his beliefs. I would much rather spend eternity with my loving Saviour Jesus, and I will. As the Bible says dust we are and to dust we shall return, but because Jesus rose from the dead we will too and be given uncorruptible eternal bodies.
The current culture is a direct result of rife destructive evolutionary teaching pervading everywhere and even leading the elect astray.
Atheist, refute that if you can, that society has adopted the myth survival of the fittest and we are reaping the results of this teaching. Think about why some raging moron in the street king-hits an innocent victim and causes untold heartache to surviving family members. What word of comfort would you give someone in that situation, Mark? 'Tough luck, he was weak and unfit anyway'? You can't hide from God forever, you know. Much better to have a loving relationship with Him ...
Colin N.,Australia, 5 June 2014
Generations have morally degenerated since the revivals of the previous century, but that falling off has accelerated drastically since the time of the Hippies and the "God is dead" claims began to be widely disseminated. From that time unbelief and evolution have been deliberately spread through media, education departments and other spheres of influence. What can we expect when the moral absolutes of the Bible are replaced with "values" that change with each person or group?
Carl Wieland responds
In the late 1950s, with the Russians launching Sputnik, America feared it was losing the space race, and frantically tried to ensure massive doses of extra science in the curriculum. This gave an opportunity for humanists to push evolution like never before, though of course it had nothing to do with rocket science. The result was that countries like Australia also inherited this curriculum. One should not underestimate the potential for this rapid ‘evolutionization’ of western culture to have shaped some of the 1960s phenomena you describe, rather than these being the primary causes of the decline. For instance, it’s hard to claim that ‘God is dead’ without a substitute explanation for nature’s incredible panorama, i.e. evolution.
Russell W.,Australia, 5 June 2014
A very well written article - a king hit to atheism.
Wayne O.,Australia, 5 June 2014
Just a gentle word (in Christ's love) to Russell W., "king hit" may not be the appropriate term given the content of the article, particularly in relation to circumstances leading to the death of Thomas Kelly.
R. D.,United Kingdom, 5 June 2014
I remember the David Hookes tragedy well, and remember at the time (long before I came to Christ) that some of my Australian friends remarked on the fact that it was symptomatic of how society at large was becoming. In another cricket-related symptom, look at the Joe Root \ David Warner affair last (British) summer. Chilling indeed if this sort of thing is so widespread in most of the big Australian cities. It's remarkable that God is doing so much good work through Australian ministries like CMI against this backdrop - brings to mind Psalm 23:5! Of course, there are many similar situations in the UK, which is perhaps even more secularised than Aus is.
One day God shall reclaim these countries for Himself (compare Romans 11:1-4) as we repeal the destructive "Enlightenment" and its fruits, and hopefully soon, because none of us in the UK or Aus want to see it get much worse. Often the darkest hour is just before the dawn. Undoubtedly, you guys at CMI shall be (and already have been) used mightily by God in His counterpunch (that is, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 style counterpunch). Let's pray that the time comes soon! (Perhaps, indeed, it is already underway.)
Anthony B.,France, 5 June 2014
The rise in gratuitous violence is a disgrace, but as to whether the theory of evolution is to blame is somewhat controversial. In the 19C in your country the violence meted out to aborigenes was carried out when people were far more religious than today.
David Catchpoole responds
‘A disgrace?’ Then it’s a pity that the perpetrators of the gratuitous violence don’t seem to see it as such. And I don’t see how teaching them an evolutionary view of their origins is going to change their minds!
As for the pre-20th century ‘violence meted out to aborigines’, you clearly are not aware of the kind of historical information presented in the book One Human Family, by Dr Carl Wieland. The following extracts from pp. 51-57 provide a telling and sobering picture of the ‘religious’ views around at the time:
We have already seen [evolutionist Stephen Jay] Gould’s comment about the turbo-boost that Darwin’s book provided to racist thinking. For Gould to say that racism (the sort that argued for biological inferiority of the other group) increased by ‘orders of magnitude’ means that it was amplified a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or more. This was a worldwide phenomenon, but was particularly starkly illustrated in Australia’s colonial history. The country’s Aboriginal people had already suffered considerably due to the sorts of pre-Darwin/anti-Genesis notions discussed earlier. But their treatment took a massive nosedive post-Darwin.
ABORIGINALS—BEARING THE BRUNT
An unusual book was published in 1974, called Aborigines in White Australia: A Documentary History of the Attitudes Affecting Official Policy and the Australian Aborigine 1697–1973. Apart from a few introductory/editorial comments, it consists almost entirely of substantial excerpts from documents. These are parliamentary transcripts, court records, letters to editors, anthropological reports, and so forth.
Far from showing a progressive enlightenment in the attitudes of the colonists as time goes on, one can see a distinct change for the worse after 1859, with a marked increase in callousness, ill-treatment and brutality towards Aborigines being evident in official attitudes. This is not lost on the editor of the above book, who writes:
“In 1859 Charles Darwin’s book On the Origin of Species popularized the notion of biological (and therefore social) evolution. Scholars began to discuss civilization as a unilinear process with races able to ascend or descend a graduated scale. The European was … the “fittest to survive” … [The Aboriginal] was doomed to die out according to a “natural law”, like the dodo and the dinosaur. This theory, supported by the facts at hand [i.e. that Aborigines were dying out from ill-treatment and disease—C.W.] continued to be quoted until well into the twentieth century when it was noticed that the dark-skinned race was multiplying. Until that time it could be used to justify neglect and murder.”
... The influence of evolutionary thinking can also be seen in another excerpt from Aborigines in White Australia, on page 100. The writer quoted, also author of an 1888 book, is justifying the killing of the native population in the State of Victoria. He writes:
“As to the ethics of the question, there can be drawn no final conclusion.”
He says this is because it is
“a question of temperament; to the sentimental it is undoubtedly an iniquity; to the practical it represents a distinct step in human progress, involving the sacrifice of a few thousands of an inferior race. ... But the fact is that mankind, as a race, cannot choose to act solely as moral beings. They are governed by animal laws which urge them blindly forward upon tracks they scarce can choose for themselves.”
In other words, he is justifying ‘iniquity’ (another word for sin) by appealing to the ‘animal laws’ of the evolutionary struggle for survival. Opposition can be dismissed as ‘sentimental’—lacking understanding of such ‘natural laws’.
There were isolated voices of protest. On p. 93, we read of a letter writer to an Australian newspaper in 1880, who, incensed by the treatment of his fellow man, stated:
“This, in plain language, is how we deal with the aborigines: On occupying new territory the aboriginal inhabitants are treated exactly in the same way as the wild beasts or the settlers may find there. Their lives and their property, the nets, canoes, and weapons which represent as much labor to them as the stock and buildings of the white settler, are held by the Europeans as being at their absolute disposal. Their goods are taken, their children forcibly stolen, their women carried away, entirely at the caprice of white men. The least show of resistance is answered by a rifle bullet … [those] who fancied the amusement have murdered, ravished, and robbed the blacks without let or hindrance. Not only have they been unchecked, but the Government of the colony has been always at hand to save them from the consequences of their crime.”
But such voices were readily drowned out by the fashionable science of the day. Three pages further on, we read of someone else, also writing in an 1880 newspaper, who said:
“Nothing that we can do will alter the inscrutable and withal immutable laws which direct our progress on this globe. By these laws the native races of Australia were doomed on the advent of the white man, and the only thing left for us to do is to assist in carrying them out [i.e. helping the ‘laws’ of evolution by hastening the Aborigines’ doom—C.W.] with as little cruelty as possible … We must rule the blacks by fear … .”
Australian secular historian Joanna Cruickshank ... writes how by 1876, the library of a typical squatter (pastoralist) consisted of books by Shakespeare, John Stuart Mill, and Darwin. The pattern, widespread today, of church leaders anxious to compromise with this new ‘scientific’ ideology, was already evident. She writes how, in 1869, a Reverend Bromby gave a public lecture defending Darwin’s book, in which he
“followed Darwin’s logic in using the apparent dying out of Aboriginal people as evidence for evolution.
“In response, the Anglican Bishop of Melbourne, Charles Perry, attacked both Bromby’s evidence and his conclusions. Perry critiqued what he saw as the scientific inadequacies of Darwin’s book.
“In particular, however, Perry attacked the view that human beings could be divided by race—or any other category—into ‘savage’ and ‘civilised’ ... .”
Cruickshank explains that Bromby represented the ‘progressive’ wing of the Church of England. Betraying her pro-evolution bias, she calls him “open to scientific evidence” and “dismissive of biblical literalism”.
She continues:
“Perry, by contrast, was a staunch evangelical, uncomfortable with the theological implications of Darwin’s theory and horrified at what he saw as a threat to the biblical claim that all humanity was formed of ‘one blood’.”
...
A gruesome trade
The body parts of Australian Aboriginal folk were keenly sought after. Following Darwin and his contemporaries, they were regarded by scientists and other evolutionary enthusiasts as ‘living missing links’. The remains of some 10,000 dead Aboriginal people in all were shipped to British museums over the course of this frenzy to provide specimens for this ‘new science’.
... Along with museum curators from around the world, [Australian journalist David] Monaghan says, some of the top names in British science were involved in this large-scale grave-robbing trade. These included anatomist Sir Richard Owen, anthropologist Sir Arthur Keith, and Charles Darwin himself. Darwin wrote asking for Tasmanian skulls when only four full-blooded native Tasmanians were left alive. (Ever the Victorian gentleman, his request came with a caveat; provided, that is, that it would not upset their feelings.)
For more information on this important topic, please read the book One Human Family, which can be purchased from our online store.
... Museums were not only interested in bones, but in fresh skins as well. These would provide interesting evolutionary displays when stuffed. Pickled Aboriginal brains were also in demand, to try to demonstrate that they were inferior to those of whites.
Good prices were being offered for such specimens. Monaghan shows, on the basis of written evidence from the time, that there is little doubt that many of the ‘fresh’ specimens were obtained by simply going out and killing the Aboriginal people. The way in which the requests for specimens were announced was often a poorly disguised invitation to do just that. A death-bed memoir from Korah Wills, who became mayor of Bowen, Queensland, in 1866, graphically describes how he killed and dismembered a local tribesman in 1865 to provide a scientific specimen.
Monaghan’s research indicated that Edward Ramsay, curator of the Australian Museum in Sydney for 20 years from 1874, was particularly heavily involved. He published a museum booklet which appeared to include his, my and your Aboriginal relatives under the designation of ‘Australian animals’. It also gave instructions not only on how to rob graves, but also on how to plug up bullet wounds in freshly killed ‘specimens’.
Many freelance collectors worked under Ramsay’s guidance. Four weeks after he had requested skulls of Bungee (Russell River) blacks, a keen young science student sent him two, announcing that they, the last of their tribe, had just been shot.
Tim L.,Canada, 5 June 2014
News today in my country of a seemingly random multiple shooting in Moncton and the fresh memories of the accused Dellen Millard and Aaron Hernandez seem to be examples of random violence or individuals living solely for themselves. To me these stories of horrific tragedies seem to be on the increase and I cannot help but to connect the dots of an apparent increase in general selfishness to a belief system (atheism) that teaches you are random, there is no purpose, or meaning, no creator, and rules are arbitrary. Christians-- please keep defying the norm, try to demonstrate Loving your Neighbour whenever possible-- this is letting the light of Jesus shine and showing there is purpose and meaning.
ho Ioannes Georgios H.,France, 5 June 2014
There is a factor neglected here.
Look at the twelve year olds in Wisconsin.
God be thanked - again! the stabbed one survived!
But as to the other ones. Was it just Atheism gone to its logical conclusion, as one could think about Klebold?
No ... it is also delayed marriage laws and prolonged school obligation. Therewith a more cynical corps of teachers. Adapting the "kids" (what a horrid word if you think of it!) to "reality as it is" while it is getting worse and bleaker by the day. And of course less likelihood of actually getting a living, whether as employed or, usually, as self employed.
But Atheists have loved this development, since it affords work for school teachers, many if not all of whom think they are saving society from "superstition" - while really they represent one.
Denis H.,Australia, 5 June 2014
An excellent article David and Warren. Yet another case of a biased media desperately trying to avoid the “elephant in the room?”
"So, if it’s really time to get serious about curbing racism, then the taboo ‘elephant in the room’ topic of evolutionary teaching, and its horrific societal consequences, has to be brought into the firing line. An opportunity was missed on ‘Sorry Day’ in 2008 when the speech pre-prepared for Australia’s Prime Minister at the time, Kevin Rudd, had its references to eugenics and evolution excised out at the last minute:
‘Prior to 1861, missionaries were prepared to accept according to the principles of their religions, that Aboriginal people were every bit as capable as Europeans. But with the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origins [sic] of the Species in 1859, a new theory starts to take hold and the conception that Aboriginal people are a “disappearing race” starts to take hold in Australian public life. This had equally catastrophic consequences for Aboriginal people and communities.’ (taken from Wieland, C., A sorry day—with an unlikely twist, 13 February 2008)
—The classic example of high-level censorship."
Tony J.,Canada, 5 June 2014
this article is utterly absrud filled with one naturalstic fallacy after the next,as well its extremely insulting to all non christian soceties and religons by attacking others with points that have been refuted athousand times over.trying to blame evolution for supposed social ills in Australia is nothing more then a naturalistic fallacy, besides i doubt people who randomly attack people on the street even CARE/remember about school or what they learn in school. Besides the "inherent barbarism" that existed now was nothing like the discrimination experience by anyone who wasnt a WASP when christianity was so predominient
Jason F.,Australia, 5 June 2014
Sorry, theists, but ethical behavior is entirely measured by its effects on other beings.
A creator laying down laws by fiat is arbitrary at best. That's why you were on the wrong side of history when it came to slavery, civil rights, religious freedom, women's rights, and today gay marriage.
Please do some research into legal and moral philosophy. "Because the magic man in the sky likes/hates it" is a terrible moral argument.
David Catchpoole responds
Sorry, Jason, but it's Christianity that is on the right side of history when it comes to the issues you've listed, as the following articles show:
Note that biblical morality is not arbitrary. Note also that true religious freedom comes from Christianity. (Cf. atheists are using government power to force atheism on everyone. Secularism=atheism.)
Peter D.,Australia, 5 June 2014
Excellent article, but I suspect most atheists will just bury their heads in the sand.
When it comes to vicious street crime and unprovoked attacks, I think the so-called Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) craze of the last decade has had quite an impact. Indeed, one of the thugs involved in a Kings Cross one-punch murder actually boasted that he was an MMA fighter prior to assaulting Daniel Christie.
This MMA thing is absolutely massive in its popularity -- people love the no-holds-barred brutality, they sell out stadiums in minutes. Of course, I doubt whether any genuinely Christian society of yesteryear would have allowed such an obscenely violent 'sport' such as MMA to flourish.
And when it comes to any apparent ebbing in a particular crime, as the article mentions, this could result from an improvement in policing, or even an economic factor, such as a period of sustained economic growth and material prosperity; but the fact remains that even after any temporal improvement the instance or rate of the crime is still well above where it was many decades ago (i.e pre-humanistic culture). So, sure, maybe crime x is less prevalent than it was in 1994, but it's still way higher than it was in 1950!
Larry C.,United States, 5 June 2014
I am an atheist though I prefer the term humanist or romantic. Articles or books, proclaiming hatred or any negativity as a motivation for leaving religion, simply do not describe my departure. Actually a sense of fairness and empathy were the prime emotional motivations. Atheism, oddly, is more spiritually fulfilling.
Every generation proclaims a decay of morals yet we continue to march forward. I am unsurprised that such a bleak outlook appears on this website.
James T.,United States, 5 June 2014
Cmi, I will be truthful though and say that i have seen people talk about how darwinism will get rid of people who are "unfit" and talk about how its all about survival of the fittest.I understand some of your points,but the thing is i feel as blaming evolution for moral decline is not a good argument.I seen atheists countering it by talking about how even before darwin there have been times where society had a moral decline and certain crimes today have nothing to do with evolution.Plus there was an article you guys wrote and someone from Switzerland commented how Christianity was on the decline there but crime rates were not increasing there.
David Catchpoole responds
James, here's a point we make repeatedly across the over 8,000 articles on this website:
"The sinful desire to dominate, reject, ignore or mistreat others for one’s own particular motives has never required much excuse. However, Darwin gave it a tremendous impetus, as has been shown before by both evolutionist and creationist writers."
We have never even implied that sinful behaviour didn't pre-date Darwin. The world's first murder was committed by the first man's firstborn son against his brother--while both parents were still alive! One can imagine their grief, especially seeing as they surely knew why their murderous son had inherited a sinful nature in the first place! And the Bible also documents the repeated moral decline exhibited by even the likes of Israel across many centuries. Note that the Bible also repeatedly warns that Christians aren't immune from vulnerability to falling into sin, either. We have never claimed that all crimes are because of evolutionary teaching. Thus the 'counter' you speak of [i.e. that pre-Darwin moral decay shows the teaching of evolution is not to blame] really doesn't counter the argument at all.
What evolution/Darwinism did, however, was to give an intellectual 'justification' to those who have a mind to do evil, in much the same way as the violent instructions in the Qur'an 'justifies' those who have a mind to kill/terrorise others not of their creed.
Re Switzerland: please read again the Box at the end of the article, and particularly consider footnote #28. (The same principles likely are at work in Switzerland, too, as elsewhere in the West.)
George J.,Canada, 5 June 2014
A great article. I forwarded it to friends, Christians and otherwise with these comments added:
Funny, how these ‘modern” guys who like to mock the Bible as old and out-dated, seem to think it necessary to copy a model used in that old, out-dated book. The trouble is there is no authority for those new commandments which originated in the mind of someone who, I suspect, is more than a little afraid the Bible might be true. Sort of an “Oops” moment.
Notice that the quote from Nagel is really wishful thinking. He has no basis for believing it, but it serves his purpose of ignoring God like he wants to do ….. still he’s afraid there might be a God and he tries to bring down those who believe in God because that may give him a feeling that he is right.
These believers apparently do not personify the weird, wacky characteristics that evolutionists would like to observe in believers. In his own words they are “some of the most intelligent and well informed people”. Unfortunately, he may end up like that other famous philosopher, Nietzsche, who said, “God is dead.”. He spent the last 10 years or so as a mentally deranged patient, being looked after by his mother, sister, and in asylums. Where else do you end up if you have no hope, and you actually do think about life and death? Of course, one may not bother to think; a haven for many atheists.
Think French Revolution, Mao's and Stalin's Dystopias, a thousand and one African dictatorships...which one Jason, which one?
Maybe Reason might serve us better, I hear you respond. Possibly...but think French Revolution, Mao's and Stalin's Dystopias, a thousand and one African dictatorships..or maybe the unsullied Reason of Jason F.
Jason F, you've dug a hole you'll never get out of. Can't you see that your belief that your Reason will solve everything is no different to any other person who believes their Reason will remove all this mess we're in...unless you believe your Reason is different per tanto yours is god-like and perfect. Yep, it's guys like you who got rid of slavery, gave women their rights etc etc, all from your 21st century armchair.

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God: Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof. 2 Timothy 4:1-4

The intermittent nature of wind power puts it at a major disadvantage: gas plants can provide power 24 hours a day. Compressed air, batteries or other types of storage can offset this liability, but at around 5 cents or more per kWh, storage isn’t cheap. But if wind could get down to 4 cents per kWh, and storage continues to lower its cost, wind with storage could eventually dominate the electricity generation market.
So how do we get there?
Based on a basic cost breakdown for a traditional 2.5 MW turbine (see pie chart below), the most promising areas for shaving costs are the blades, gearbox, generator, and tower, which combined represent 53% of the total turbine capital cost. Of all these pain points, the gearbox, and the potential for direct drives, has garnered quite a bit of attention. After all, 24% of the total turbine cost relates to the gearbox and the generator.
Small wind companies are going in a completely different direction, trying to deliver electricity at the point of use rather than at a large centralized farm that requires costly transmission. Another way to buck the trend is with vertical axis turbines that look more like an old-fashioned lawnmower turned on its side.
Can the current models be tweaked -- or do we need a start fresh?
And if wind really wants to take the remaining 61% share of new electricity generation from natural gas and coal -- how can storage be incorporated in an economical fashion?

In this section you will find information on how to help neuropaediatric clinicians get closer to basic neuroscience and vice-versa. The challenge of our project is to build bridges between different disciplines that are normally practiced one far apart from the other.
CGB
Connecting the growing brain is a network of specialised clinicians and researchers that aims to understand the developing brain through synaptic communication.
The study of the brain and brain diseases is one of the most complex in human biology. In children, continuous growth and change only add to this inherent complexity.
Though the high prevalence (up to 20%) of Neurological and psychiatric conditions among the paediatric population, there is a dissociation between the wealth of information, sophisticated resources and clinical practice that hinder the study of children’s brain. Among the causes figure scarce reports in the literature as compared to those of adults; the“classical” clinical approach which primarily focuses on symptoms rather than on understanding mechanisms and aiming for prevention and cure; and the very few neuropaediatricians trained in basic neuroscience.
Inspired by the innovative field of inborn errors of metabolism, the main motivation of our project is to link basic neuroscience, neurometabolism, and clinical approaches in paediatric neurology and paidopsychiatry, through the study of synaptic communication in children.
Purely focused on children and adolescents, such an ambitious project is based on a multi-level integrative network illustrating the philosophy of “systems biology” and moving from a reductionist to a more holistic approach to understand the brain in childhood. This represents a “paradigm shift” and the opportunity to develop new diagnostic tools, biomarkers and novel therapies.
Our network provides some interesting original and multifaceted approaches that can bring neurology and psychiatry back to its biological basis. Through this website, it aims also to bring education in and understanding of neuroscience to the general public and the scientific community.
Connecting the growing brain network of specialised clinicians and researchers. People and labs around the world with the aim to understand the developing brain through synaptic communication.

The Aswan Dam was a crucial construction project for Egypt after the 1952 revolution. President Gamal Abdel Nasser was looking to elevate Egypt as the leader of a pan-Arab unity movement. The United States initially offered to fund the massive dam project, but eventually withdrew the offer, leading to Nasser’s attempted nationalization of the Suez Canal and the invasion by Great Britain, France and Israel. After the US and the USSR collaborated at the United Nations to force the occupiers to withdraw, the Soviet Union decided to fund the Aswan Dam. A call for international action to help protect archaeological relics in the vicinity of the Nile above the dam was answered by a campaign involving UNESCO, international donors and the Egyptian government. Many monuments were saved, though some were lost; an example of the former is the Temple of Dendur, on display since 1978 in the Sackler Wing of New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Nation published this editorial, “Saving the Past,” in its April 9, 1960, issue.
The world political unrest that was touched off by the decision to build the new Aswan dam on the Nile has overshadowed until very late in the day the realization of what this immense irrigation project threatens to one of the greatest art repositories on earth. The Nile from the Third Cataract in the Sudan to Aswan is lined by monuments unrivaled in beauty and historic importance. They are huge, impassive, enigmatic and awe-inspiring. As things now stand, they will disappear within four or five years under the flood waters and they will never be seen again.
Most, if not all, of them can be saved. Some can be moved, stone by stone, to new safe sites; some can be preserved by dykes and ramparts (many, of course, have not yet even been discovered; but much could be done in three or four years of intensive archaeological digging). All that is required is money—in this case an estimated $30 million….
The amount of money needed is not large if divided among some eighty-one nations; the time is short, but not too short if, let us say, one-tenth of the energy now being dedicated to moon shots were diverted to the rescue of the priceless relics of the Nile. Space adventure and the “peaceful” development of the atom are both problematical enterprises and both can await our convenience. Meanwhile, we know that we need the great witnesses to our spiritual past, and we know that those now guarding the banks of the Nile will not await our pleasure.

KIRKUS REVIEW
Two Arab-Israelis struggle with their insecurities in this unconvincing third novel from the Arab-Israeli writer.
He’s sitting pretty, this Arab from the villages of northern Israel; at only 32, he’s one of the top criminal-defense lawyers in Jerusalem, and an expert navigator through the thicket of Arab-Jewish relations. The unnamed lawyer also has a good marriage to Leila, a social worker; it may lack passion, but Leila makes sure the household, which includes two small children, runs like clockwork. The lawyer’s calm, measured tone changes dramatically when a note falls from the used book, a Tolstoy novella, he’s about to read. It’s in his wife’s handwriting and could be construed as erotic. The calculating lawyer turns into a raging monster of sexual jealousy. Has Tolstoy’s wife-killer leapt from the page to possess him? Or is his naïveté about matters of the heart taking its toll? (The lawyer has no experience with other women.) Disappointingly, these questions go unanswered, and their urgency ebbs as Kashua introduces another character, Amir, the protagonist of alternating sections. It’s an awkward structure, made more so by a six-year time difference. Back then Amir, also an immigrant to Jerusalem from an Arab village, was a newly minted social worker, a socially inept kid who went on a not-quite-date with his co-worker Leila, who afterwards wrote that altogether innocent note. So there’s the slender plot connection. Amir has a second job as a caregiver for Yonatan, a young Jewish man in a vegetative state. Gradually Amir assumes Yonatan’s identity. He’s alienated from his mother but finds a willing surrogate in Yonatan’s mother; together, they pull the plug on the Jew and Amir buries him in an Arab cemetery. Creepy, for sure, yet the sequence resolves nothing. By now the time periods are in sync. The lawyer has tracked down Amir, who tells him everything, and the lawyer’s marriage returns to normal; much ado about nothing, then.

Watch this Space Hulk: Deathwing UE4 trailer crush puny graphics
The surprisingly little-known series known as Space Hulk is back with a vengeance, this time taking on the world with Unreal Engine 4. Everything we’ve seen with the UE4 stamp of approval on its back thus far has looked fantastic, and Space Hulk: Deathwing is no exception to the rule.
What you’re going to see here is what the developers at Focus Home Entertainment suggest is “in-game” captured game footage. It would seem to be more obviously captured bits of cinematic than gameplay, but we’re on the verge of a big change in gaming graphics, as always – we’ll have to see.
For those of you that’ve played Space Hulk before, the visuals should look familiar, but much more massively realistic. Here you’re going to be taking on the Genestealers from a first-person perspective in a fully operational first-person shooter, this time rolling with some especially dark action. Skulls and blood and guts and all that.
UPDATE: According to EuroGamer, Space Hulk: Deathwing will be coming to PlayStation 4 inside 2015. There is currently “no news” about an Xbox One version, but we’d guess the possibility isn’t out of the question.
You’ll also be able to see Space Hulk on Steam right this moment. This game was originally a turn-based strategy game with first-person visuals mixed in. It would appear that this franchise is about to get a whole lot more traditional, oddly enough.
Look like the graphics have improved over the years to you? We’re pumped! Enjoy the original teaser here as well while you’re at it for Deathwing once again.

Thomas Brambilla Gallery is proud to present the solo show of Simon Linke, premiering on Saturday February 24 th , 2018, at 6.30 PM.
Slightly smaller than one of Artfor um ‘s full – page ads, Simon Linke’s paintings corrupt the clean graphic layout of their source through a full – on indulgence in an excess of oil paint. Replicating the ads as faithfully as possible while wrangling a robust, fluid material within an almost com ically limiting surface area, Linke’s paintings exist as a near – perfect contradiction between boldly expressed market confidence and an artist’s potential alienation from the pressures t o produce a consistent product.
Arresting Artforum ‘s iconic monthly bu lletins announcing the “new” in a relief of thickly applied paint, Linke’s paintings express the ideal of stability where there is none, flipping the temporal nature of an exhibition notice on its head. Focusing largely on recognizable blue chip artists an d galleries, the paintings’ compact size and precise articulation offer an ironic contrast to the overwhelming scale and volume of the contemporary art marke t from which their subjects are derived.
More recently focusing on ads featuring paintings, which b ecome paintings of ads, Linke channels his enthusiasm for the medium of paint through the discipline of a working within predetermined surface area, where the “natural” boundaries of his compositions reveal staging mechanisms of contemporary art that are o ften hidden in plain sight. When looked at as a decade’s long project, which functions as an informal archive, Simon Linke’s work offers a refreshing sense of historicism often lost in the collective pressure to focus on the “next big thing”.
Simon Linke’s recent exhibitions include Karsten Schubert, London, and Mireille Mosler in New York. He has been the subject of numerous international exhibitions including Le Consortium, Dijon in 2004 and his works are represented in a number of public collection s including Tate Gallery, London and FRAC Limousin, France. He currently lives and works in London.

About Angela
I am a Canadian who has always loved travel. As I did not have much opportunity due to finances for the last couple decades I am certainly now trying to make up for lost time.

I am a Canadian who has always loved travel. As I did not have much opportunity due to finances for the last couple decades I am certainly now trying to make up for lost time. My 20 year old daughter also loves exploring new places and as a dual citizen with Europe we are currently exploring places we might want to live. We loved Portugal and are starting there since I'm also volunteering at a conference there upcoming. We'd also love to mosey our way down under at some point, hopefully soon! With flights so reasonable we're hoping to stay out of the Canadian winter and explore some new places. I'll be working from my laptop!
Why I want to house sit
Housesitting would help make the money go farther, let's face it good accommodation is pretty pricey these days and since we do LOVE animals coming across this website really is like a godsend. I'm still building my online business doing teaching English online and freelance writing so I need to make the savings last! And I was really sucked in be everyone on this site and how much they just want someone who cares to take care of their pets in their homes where they belong. So I really hope this can work out for everyone!
My experience
I have done some house sitting for family and friends before, generally because their need for a housesitter coinciding with my need for a place to stay in that location. I have not done it as a job but I did rent an apartment from a friend for 8 months and looked after her two cats and also I have had dogs all my life (mine's with a dog sitter right now as I travel) and I have taken care of dogs professionally as a dog walker. I do have experience with almost every other animal kept as a pet but not enough to brag about! My daughter and I are huge animal lovers!

Angela and her daughter stayed in our apartment with our 2 cats for 2 whole weeks. It was simple to coordinate our schedules and we talked on the phone in advance (travel schedules didn't allow us to meet).
Angela arrived on time, took good care of our pets and home, and sent us updates and pictures at least every other day. Our female cat, Clio, got a bit sick a day or two after we left and Angela handled it calmly and gracefully. We felt comfortable and confident with her in our home.
A last minute flight cancellation meant we didn't get to meet upon our return either, but we came home to a clean and tidy home and two happy, healthy, relaxed pets. We would definitely use Angela again and recommend her to others needing sitters.

Response from Angela
We were very happy with our stay at Taylor and her husband's apartment. It is a very nice, modern space in the best location for walking and exploring Victoria's many downtown sights, attractions and dining delights. The two kitties we took care of were a pleasure to get to know, very affectionate and loving. They played with each other and their toys and we just had to feed them and clean their litter box as our duties. Taylor left everything for us that we could possibly need making us feel like a treasured house guest. We were able to do laundry and come and go easily from the secure building. Although we didn't meet in person we had very nice interactions by email and felt very appreciated and comfortable with all our communications. Thanks again for sharing your home, it was our first time using this website and it all went incredibly well!
