Speaking to Variety, Traveller's Tales president Jon Burton has revealed that the LEGO Star Wars developer has already "started doing some LEGO games on the Warner IP... down the line".
It's no surprise to hear that the developer is already hard at work on new LEGO titles; Burton revealed to Variety that LEGO Star Wars has sold 15 million units so far. Presumably Burton is referring to the combined sales of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game, LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy and LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga.
More recently TT worked on LEGO Indiana Jones and is finishing up work on LEGO Batman.
What properties would you like to see TT turn into a LEGO video game? Let us know in the comments section below.

Order fulfillment can be a rather dirty business. It is not that it is immoral or wrong in any way, but rather that it can be somewhat damaging to the environment. Order fulfillment usually involves fossil fuel expenditure and the use of disposable items, both of which can be harmful to the environment. Promofill is constantly looking for ways to make our processes greener. Here’s a few tips If you want to conduct your order fulfillment in a “greener” way…
Local (When You Can)
Those who follow green initiatives know that using local sources is the best way to reduce your carbon footprint. Using a local source cuts down on fossil fuels used both in order fulfillment and in basic shipping and it helps to support your local economy. When you can do so, try to make use of local companies for your order fulfillment needs. This might mean using a local bike courier for a local delivery or even ordering your shipping supplies from a local vendor instead of a national chain, but it will help you to reduce the amount of impact that your fulfillment activities have on the environment.
Recycled is Better
Try your best to use recycled material if you can. It is very easy to find recycled shipping containers, and most boxes on the market today are clearly marked as made from recycled material. You can also take it a step further by making use of recycled packing materials. Re-using old packing peanuts, for example, helps to cut down on the amount of Styrofoam that will be delivered to landfills. Likewise, using old newspaper instead of packing paper helps to re-use materials and eliminates the need for the manufacture of mostly-disposable paper products.
Size Matters
It should go without saying that you should always shoot to reduce the size of your packaging. The smaller the package, after all, the less material that goes into its creation and the fewer fossil fuels that are needed to keep those assembly lines working. Small packages also take up less room in transit, allowing shippers to fit more packages on a truck and to use less fuel. If you can shrink your packaging size by ten percent, you might help to reduce the amount of shipping down by several percentage points. As a bonus to you, smaller items usually ship for far less than larger items.
Who Ships It?
If you want to make your order fulfillment process greener, you have to consider the business practices of your shipping company. Certain companies make use of “greener” practices than others do, and using these companies both promotes environmental stewardship and helps you to keep your own carbon footprint down. Try to find out of the shipping company that you use has any particular environmental initiatives in place and do what you can to make sure that you only use green companies for shipping. You might be surprised by the difference that using a new shipping company can make in your life.
One Stop Shipping
Most of the major shipping companies (including the USPS, to some degree) actually have pick up services. While this might not seem to be the “greenest” of all order fulfillment options, a quick look at the logic behind using these services reveals it to be quite environmentally friendly. The driver is already out on rounds, and stopping by your place of business on the way to the depot takes less fuel than if you were to drop them off yourself. While there might be a slight cost involved in using some of these services, one must also remember that doing so saves time that you can then use to focus on other business matters.
Environment Weight
More than anything else, though, you should consider the environmental impact of your own shipping policies. Consider, for example, the frequency of your shipping. If you ship one or two items every day, you might be using more fossil fuels and creating more pollution than if you simply did large shipments once a week. While this might slow down your overall profits, you might make a major environmental impact. You have to find a good balance between keeping your business running and making sure that you stay true to your green initiatives.
These tips are only a few of the ways that you can make your order fulfillment process more environmentally friendly. While it may take time to switch over to such processes, they will be worthwhile in the end. The changes are not only helpful for the world around you, but can also make your businesses more attractive to environmentally-minded consumers.

Battlefield: BC2 - This has become the new Monday night gaming game. We're trying go though Onslaught mode but hardcore settings are really tough. I have found out I'm not to bad at flying the chopper, might have to give it ago online and see if I've improved.

Apart from GOW3, I 'was' playing Space Marine but it's the first game in a loooong time that's actually pissed me off. As I've gotten older, games don't really annoy me but Space Marine is the exception. Gaining health by having to attack 2 dozen raging orks and getting pinned in place by a stupid scripted animation while you get smacked around the head, stupid! It's a shame, as I really love Relic as a development studio, but I have to let this one go. Also, it's been rather dull for most the game too.

Resistance 3 on the other hand has very much impressed me so far.
I played some Tropico 4 on OnLive. Seems like a very good game but I've clearly got a lot to learn.
With buying a new PS3 due to YLOD on the old beast, I've lost all my save files. I started playing through Wipeout HD again and I've put it on Elite difficulty to give myself a bit of a challenge. Gold medals on all so far but a long way to go.
SexyJams
Might finally buy Geometry Wars 2.
Endless@ FantasyMeister
I dont have the time or patience to faff around trying to figure it out, so it's a no go for OnLive in this household. :|
@Clockpunk: RCT3 is awesome fun :) Screw Theme Park and get on that instead!

Not sure where I fit in the scheme of things - I used to be a PC gamer, then a console gamer - now I'm a cloud gamer I guess, though I still have my trusty hardware to fall back on.

Keep meaning to get some online time on Battlefield BC 2 but haven't got around to it yet, practice is definitely needed before 3 comes out!
dudester
Finished resistance 3 despite an underwhelming ending really enjoyed the campaign, have dipped a little into multi but am finding it tough due to not knowing a single map and everyone else pretty much far more levelled then me so better guns etc.

As to my gaming, well... work has ratcheted up by a rather significant degree; and this coupled with the upcoming cluster of excellent titles, mean I haven't had much time to game this past week, nor the upcoming one. Still, I have been enjoying a few breaks, here and there, on some classic PC games. Rediscovered thanks to the joys of CrossOver Games (installs Windows games on Macs), and has opened the doors for some that I lamentably missed (such as Titan Quest), but those that have got me are:
Ghost Master - Cheesy, and not overtly difficult, it nevertheless attempts to do something very different with the strategy genre. Figuring out how to unlock the extra beasties scattered around each level is also very interesting.
Theme Park World - and I have just literally found/purchased a copy of the sequel, Theme Park Inc.
RollerCoaster Tycoon 3 - But only really been experimenting with creating firework displays - because who doesn't love blowing ***** up with pyrotechnics? ;) I'll take to the main gameplay after finishing both Theme Parks, which are a little more accessible (requiring less brainpower...)
Endless
I've been playing more Borderlands, my Siren is up to lvl 26 now.
Getting a tad annoyed with Boomerang: I recently switched our rental preference to 'Top 3' because we're sick of getting games from way down our list when there are games at the top with a green status. Haven't had a game sent out in over a week now :| Despite our top 3 games being not mega new or old and all in green status. Pah!
Also been playing some Gun Bros on my phone, I cant get it to sign in to Facebook, but i'm pretty sure I know what this is, it's because my phone itself is already logged in and there's some kind of weirdness when using apps that have Facebook interaction. Anyway it's pretty decent twin stick shooter and totally scot-free too!

Recently, due to financial difficulties, I sold my PS3. It's been like losing an appendage and I wouldn't recommend it. So, at the moment I'm a PS2 gamer. It's brilliant. I have a very cool collection of games that have been sat redundant on the shelf for a few years and now I'm playing them again. Some are amazing! :)
Then, yesterday I managed to acquire an xbox original and 43 games for £25. Bargain! There are some classics in my new game pile, and unfortunately some stinkers too. So, this weekend I have been playing:
Jet Set Radio Future
For somebody like myself who is hugely into hip hop culture, electronic music, graffiti, loves Tokyo street culture, japanese video games, digital art and street sports; This game seems to tick all my boxes. I am LOVING it. Shame the controls can feel a little wonky.
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
We all know it. Great sneaky, sneaky gameplay, nice visuals, tight maps and Amon Tobin. One of my all-time favourites. Gotta be in my top 5.

1: Be aware of policy changes and tap into these changes. Like many inexperienced investors when he first begun, Lim learned the need to understand the policies the hard way. He made the mistake of not researching properly on the BLR policy and ended up with a huge debt burden, it was only after he studied the BLR policy in depth that he decided to restructure his finances, and saved nearly RM 300,000 as a result.
2: Save time and money with promotion package. Developers have over the years come out with various different offers to attract buyers. While there is little doubt that these “freebies” are taken into consideration when setting the selling price, one cannot deny that these packages can indeed lower the entry bar, particularly for first time buyers.
3: “Race” the developer to make payment. Developers typically require payment according to the percentage completion within the 3 to 4 years required to build. This means it is possible to estimate the amount of money one would need to pay the developer at each phase, and try to save up to meet the repayment schedule. This will not only help achieve massive savings as loans are taken as late as possible, but also increases loan approval rate as the margin of borrowing is now greatly reduced.
4: Choosea quality developer. There is a reason why some developers grow stronger and others fade into obscurity. A renowned developer will most likely have the experience and means to provide high quality properties which reduces the risks of purchase.
5: Interact on social media. We live in an era of ubiquitous social media. Why not make the best use of these platforms to look for like-minded people or those who have bought the same development as you? Bringing people closer together means that individual property owners now gain a bigger leverage to hold discussions with developers.
6: New launches for greater and faster capital appreciation. There is little contest that new launches tend to see the largest degree of capital appreciation and it would be good to look into new launches for better gains as well as to “race” the developer.

- Do Not place Leaves or Garden Waste in with the pile of branches
- Please do not put brush at the curb any sooner than one week prior to the collection day.
- Brush may not be picked up all in one day but it will be picked up the week of. Brush however must be at the curb prior to the Monday that brush is scheduled to be picked up. Brush not at the curb by the time crews come past will be left or will be billed for us to come back at a later date.

How to Make and Attach Patches for Jackets? find most of them. It is a stronger thread that you shouldn’t be able to break with your hands.
When you are all prepared, you need to know where you are going to put the patch on the jacket. You can spray a little bit of glue just to make it secure when it is about to be sewed. Always make sure that the liner is straight underneath the vest when you are sewing. Also, make sure your needle is down through the leather when you are rotating, in that way you won’t lose your stitch. Read more on this link.
Applying Patches on Bomber Jacket
When you figured out which design you are going to use, you will also need Loctite spray, adhesive kind. Flip the one you’ve picked on the wrong side and just spray a couple of layers. Then you should carefully transfer that over to your piece of clothing. When you place it down, make sure that there are no folds in your fabric or else it’s going to stay permanently like that, and be sure to add a lot of pressure.
After you do your first layer, you want to pick the size of the embroidery patch. With an adhesive, there’s going to be parts of the patch you probably missed especially the sides. If you sides are picking up after 10 minutes then you want to reapply some more Loctite.
Most Popular Patches
Patches were actually very popular in the 70s with the hippie movement, but in 2010s the most popular brand started implementing them in their designs. That also helped the market to grow because people who couldn’t afford these clothes were making their own designs by buying them from stores or making their own.
The most recognized one is the tongue by rolling stones which was made in the 70s. If we talk about newer designs, big companies like Prada, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Chanel all had clothes with patches. Gucci’s snake has not only been used as a jacket patch, but the symbol became so popular that you can see it on phone cases, shoes, wallets, and other accessories.
Supreme became one of the most popular brands to younger generations made by Louis Vuitton. Their most sold T-shirt and jacket only have the supreme logo as a patch which can cost over $300. Red roses also became a clothing symbol which you can see everyone mostly used on denim jackets.
Get more information here:
History of Patches
For hundreds of years, they have been used to cover holes in clothing and for uniforms. Just in past 4 to 5 decades, they started to represent many different people. You can find many vintage patches on eBay. In the 60s there was a new group of protesters that started using patches on their clothes which symbolized peace. So, we could say that hippies contributed to the expansion of patches. Read more here.
In the 80s and 90s when rock and punk was the most popular genre of music, and everyone had a leather or denim jacket, patches were used to represent many different groups. They looked opposite of hippie culture with many dark symbols like bones.

YOUNGSTOWN
The presiding and administrative judge of Youngstown Municipal Court said it doesn’t matter to her whether the court operates with two full-time judges or three, but, to eliminate uncertainty, she’d like a decision to be made soon.
Judge Elizabeth Kobly made her remarks after an announcement Wednesday by the Mahoning County Bar Association that it believes the court can operate efficiently with two full-time judges.
A vacancy was created by the retirement July 31 of Judge Robert A. Douglas Jr. Judge Douglas had 17 months left in his term.
Judge Kobly said she’d like to see decisive action soon, whether Gov. John Kasich appoints a replacement or the Ohio Legislature abolishes the seat.
“It’s dragged on way too long. The uncertainty isn’t helping anything, so the sooner it gets decided one way or the other, the better off we’ll be,” Judge Kobly said. “Right now, we’re up in the air with regard to scheduling” of cases based on visiting-judge availability, she explained.
Although its docket still is current, the court is being forced to eliminate night court in mid- December because Magistrate Anthony Sertick’s daytime workload has been increased because of Judge Douglas’ departure, Judge Kobly explained.
“We’ve always been current, and we’ll continue to stay that way regardless of what we need to do. We pride ourselves on that,” she said.
County Court Judges David D’Apolito and Diane Vettori sat as part-time visiting judges between July 31 and Oct. 31, and the Ohio Supreme Court has approved the continuation of Judge Vettori as a visiting judge through Jan. 31.
George Denney, court administrator, said the employment of Judge Douglas’ bailiff and secretary was terminated Nov. 2 due to a lack of work.
Judge Kobly said the status of the veteran’s, driver’s license suspension and housing specialty courts is unknown if the court is permanently reduced to two full-time judges.
Sarah Brown-Clark, municipal court clerk, said the availability and viability of the specialty courts, which “are very critical to an urban population,” could be reduced if the third judgeship is permanently eliminated.
“Operating with two judges would reduce expenses and align the court more closely with the city’s population and the court’s case volume, both of which have declined considerably in the past 10 years,” said Atty. Shirley J. Christian, bar association president.
Brown-Clark said she wants Kasich to appoint someone to fill Judge Douglas’ unexpired term. That would provide more time to study the municipal court’s needs in the context of potential consolidation of Mahoning County’s entire lower-court system, she said.
If abolishing Judge Douglas’ seat is justified, the abolition should become effective when the term ends at the end of 2013, she added.
Christian said the association is not taking a position on whether the third judgeship should be eliminated now or when another vacancy arises.
The next known open seat in Youngstown Municipal Court will occur five years from now when Judge Robert Milich will be legally barred from running again because of his age. State law forbids judges from starting a new term after their 70th birthdays.
State Rep. Robert Hagan of Youngstown, D-60th, proposed in August to introduce a bill to abolish Judge Douglas’ seat, but agreed to postpone the introduction at the request of a majority of city council and several former council members.
The city’s three-judge system dates back to 1953, when Youngstown’s population was about 150,000. The city’s current population is about 66,000.
The current Youngstown Municipal Court caseload is insufficient to justify three full-time judges, Hagan said.
Brown-Clark said categories of court cases need to be separated in the Ohio Supreme Court’s case- reporting system that is used to compare the workloads and productivity of the courts to accurately reflect the number and types of cases in each category.
For example, she said traffic cases, in which a fine is mailed in without any court appearance, should be separated from cases that require court appearances when the workload and productivity comparisons are made.
As with any governmental position or agency---easy to create but really tough to eliminate.
The side that is protesting is worried about who is going to loose their cushy city job. Just eliminate the position already. Someone needs to grow some B!!!!!!s and do it. Let the segment of our community that is protesting the process file a law suit and spend some money. We all know the reason why this position is protested so diligently by a coalition of city residents. If the numbers do not support it then cut it. They should also look at the salaries of the members of council. That article was swept under the rug quickly. Samarone can use that money to clean up the city.
It's interesting that the side protesting the reduction is saying a third judge should be appointed so there will be enough time to study the issue. They aren't making the case for why a third judge would be needed. If they can't make that case right here, right now they don't need a third judge.
you really only need one just to say "your released" or "we made a plea deal get out of here". Sarah Clark also should be part-time as needed, we need to cut the fat
Since the population density of Y-town does not exceed that of Austintown, Boardman, Struthers and Campbell why is it that they need CITY judges while these areas use county district courts. It is time to abolish the Youngstown courts system and its own clerk, realign the entire county district courts and have it under one system.

Virgin Australia Holdings Limited (ASX:VAH) today welcomed the New Zealand Minister of Transport’s decision to re-authorise the airline’s trans-Tasman alliance with Air New Zealand (NZX:AIR / ASX: AIZ) until 31 October 2018.
Virgin Australia General Counsel Adam Thatcher said: “We welcome today’s decision by the New Zealand Minister of Transport as it will enable us to continue to bring substantial benefits to consumers, tourism and business across the Tasman.
“We look forward to working together with Air New Zealand to enhance our alliance even further, offering competitive airfares, choice and a seamless travel experience for customers”, Mr Thatcher said.
In reauthorising the alliance, the Minister has not sought to impose any additional conditions to the approval recently granted by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC).
The re-authorisation of the alliance until 31 October 2018 coincides with the expiry of the ACCC’s authorisation in Australia.
The trans-Tasman alliance, which has operated since July 2011,pointsTM loyalty programme and Virgin Australia’s Velocity Rewards programme; and
- Reciprocal lounge access to qualifying guests of either airline.
The re-authorisation of the alliance by the New Zealand Minister of Transport is the last condition required.

Editors to select a master of her own choosing as long as she filed a petition in the county court. Araminta, along with her chosen owner, would also have to appear before the court to be examined so that the court could determine that there was neither “fraud nor collusion between the parties.”
Missing from the case is Araminta Frances’ motivations for seeking re-entry into slavery. Pregnant at the time Richardson’s will was written, Araminta was presumably a mother by 1855. Was slavery the only option that would allow her to stay near her family? Or did she have another reason for wanting to become the property of John L. Coleman? Unfortunately, documents that shed light on a reason for Araminta’s petition, or provide a clue to her ultimate fate, have yet to be found.
A portion of the Lunenburg County Chancery Causes, 1743-1921, are available online through the Chancery Records Index. The remainder of the collection, including the Petition of Araminta Jones, 1856-042, is open for research but only available at the Library of Virginia.

J in the national capital, a couple of senior lawyers have moved the Supreme Court in a recent court violence case.
Advocate Kamini Jaiswal moved the Supreme Court Wednesday seeking a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to probe violence by a section of lawyers in the Patiala House complex when Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) president Kanhaiya Kumar was produced in court. Senior lawyer Prashant Bhushan also sought urgent hearing of the case filed by Jaiswal.
Reportedly, the Supreme Court has agreed to hear the plea on Friday seeking contempt action against three lawyers – Vikram Singh Chauhan, Yashpal Singh, and Om Sharma – as they were allegedly caught on camera bragging about the attacks.
[ JNU Protests: Repeat of Tiananmen Square Crackdown in India ]
It is alleged that the three lawyers have admitted their crime in which they had beaten up Kanhaiya Kumar and others, including journalists, in a court complex. They also said in the secretly recorded video conversation that they enjoy full support of the Delhi police.
Since Delhi police did not bother to take any action against the accused lawyers despite their crime committed in the broad daylight, Jaiswal and Bhushan decided to move the Supreme Court.

On the other hand, people in the court complex enjoy BJP’s support; that is why police did not arrest them.
[ Government Attacks on Students Intensify in India ]
Opposition political parties – including Congress and CPI(M) – have demanded the immediate removal of Delhi police commissioner B. S. Bassi, as the local police force has failed to maintain a peaceful atmosphere in the city.
Meanwhile,.
[ Was it an Institutional Murder of Rohith Vemula? ]
A copy of the inquiry report submitted by the NHRC team has been forwarded to the Commissioner of Police, Delhi and the Director General of Prisons, Tihar Jail for their comments, to be received by the Commission, by Friday.
The Delhi government – headed by chief minister Arvind Kejriwal – has repeatedly admitted that it cannot control increasing crime in the capital, as it has no control on police. It is not only about police. In fact, the Delhi government has shown its complete impotence in handling all other administrative matters. But surprisingly Kejriwal and his ministers are not willing to quit their positions, as they are greedy politicians.
[ Poll: 78% Not Satisfied with AAP Government in Delhi ]
The police inaction issue in the case of accused lawyers was also raised by the opposition parties in the Parliament.
It is alleged that the lawyers have interfered in the “administration of justice” and willfully violated the orders passed by the apex court on February 17 when they openly attacked people in the court complex.
Both Kamini Jaiswal and Prashant Bhushan are the members of “Committee on Judicial Accountability,” a group of eminent lawyers of India who work to improve the accountability of.

History of the Morehead City NC Area
Shepard’s Point was established in the early nineteenth century as a small seaside community set to connect the harbor via railroad to the inland city of Goldsboro. In 1852, John Motley Morehead (Governor of North Carolina and President of the railroad company) purchased a few hundred acres of land from Shepard’s Point, and it was officially named Morehead City by 1857. With the rails’ link to the rest of America, the city grew and flourished over the decades, becoming a hub for all the outlying fishing communities. It remains a small and serene hideaway (a population of fewer than 8,000), nestled peacefully among Calico Creek, the Newport River, and Bogue Sound.

Mirrool Silo Kick
About
*** Latest event details are yet to be confirmed ***
Every second Saturday in October, football players, celebrities and farmers gather to boot a football over the Mirrool grain silos in a quest to win.
The Mirrool silo kick challenge has grown into a post-season pilgrimage since Geelong's Billy Brownless thumped home the first silo kick in 1992 and in 2013 will celebrate 21 years.
The silos are 30 metres high and 10 metres wide with a walkway across the top adding another few metres.
The silos, with the double storey pub and a couple of houses, make up Mirrool, located between Narrandera and West Wyalong on the Newell Highway.
The story goes that, in the late 1970s, Ariah Park-Mirrool coach Mark Newton tried to kick a footy clear over the silos during an end-of-season drinks session at the nearby pub.
Geelong forward Billy Brownless claimed the first official silo challenge in 1992, defeating local ruck-rover and farmer, Rob Harper.

Deep Rock
RHAD with Niall Savage Architects
Featured in Saltscapes, January/February 2012
This house built "of the land" appears to emerge out of the surrounding batholithic rock. The name of the property is a nod to that geology (the Greek bathos meaning "depth" and lithos, "rock"). There are two distinct land forms where the home is situated - the large "whalesbacks" or curved hills of granite, and the "erratics", which refers to the large, gravity-defying boulders left on the land by receding glaciers. later of organic matte that sweeps over the rugged terrain. The form of the house itself is strong and lacks adornment, which would only distract from the views of the land and vibrant sea.
With the exception of the master bedroom, the upper floor is open-concept. This allows the homeowners to perch up high and enjoy natural light and panoramic ocean views. The lower level features an office, a media room and guest rooms that have their own washroom, laundry and kitchenette. The interior of the home is punctuated by a dramatic 63-foot.
The house incorporates passive solar heating strategies. The south-facing overhang over the large, lower level windows house also has a heat pump and hydronic heating. Due to the lower water table on the property, a large cistern in the mechanical room collects rainwater from the roof, which is then used for grey-water purposes like flushing toilets and watering outdoor plants. Two solar panels on the roof help to heat water.

Report by Jools Clarke (Y7) and Martin Kelly (Y8) for Richard Lander Press Pack
On Tuesday 14th November, a group of year 7, 8 & 9 students were given the once in a lifetime opportunity to meet Olympic gold Medallist, Robin Cousins in person and ask him some questions. It was very bubbly in the staff room where the group was assembled, but when Robin walked in the applause was immense.
The main reason for Robin’s appearance was so he could promote an ice rink he was having erected outside Truro Cathedral. Students from all year groups were asked to submit questions for Robin to answer and the best 6 were given family passes to the ice rink as prizes! Congratulations to Abigail Jones, Mason Ireland, Chrissie Warren, Marni Watson, Zac Minett and Poppy Baxter!
Chrissy Warren’s question was particularly interesting for any budding skaters. She asked “Does ballet help with skating ability?” It was a shock to hear it doesn’t! One great piece of advice that Robin gave the students was to lean over the balls of your feet when skating and push your stomach underneath you. If you stand upright, you are likely to fall over.
During the question session, Robin passed around his gold medal from the 1980 Winter Olympics, so we could feel the weight of it; it was surprisingly heavy!
It was fascinating to hear more about the ice rink and how it is actually constructed; layer upon layer of water is washed over a surface then frozen, repeating the task lots of times in 24 hours. Unbelievably, it is only 1.5 inches thick. The ice rink will take 3 days to construct and then it will become one of the 8 ice rinks Robin’s company have constructed around the country.
Unfortunately, for fans of Dancing on Ice, he wasn’t able to let us know who any of the celebrities will be but he did let slip that “nasty” Jason Gardner will be back!
Overall, this was a brilliant experience for the students of Richard Lander School and hopefully one we won’t forget for a long while!
Jools Clarke
Some interesting things I learned from Robin Cousins were, that he was told that he was too tall and too slim to be a great skater but in the end he won an Olympic Gold medal. He said you should never give up because people tell you that you are unsuited to something. In the end it was his height and stature helped him to win the Olympic gold medal in 1980.
On the Dancing on Ice show, the judges and skaters have to work 6 days a week, this shows how much work they put into it. Robin said that the show is unscripted and that he thinks it is important to be nice although some judges get angry.
Abigail asked Robin if he had ever felt like giving up and he said he had thought of this lots of times but that he never did and at the end of each training session he made sure that he had accomplished something and that he finished on something that made him feel good about his skating.
Other tips about learning to skate are that you don’t go in straight lines whilst skating you have to travel in circles while leaning forward..
At the end Robin asked me what my favourite sport was, I told him it is football, which he said has nothing to do with skating!
It was a fantastic opportunity to meet a famous judge and Olympic gold medallist, and I enjoyed talking to him.

Patient Reviews ?
I would highly recommend Dr. Norman RosenTo anyone who is looking for a caring professionalDoctor. He is efficient. He takes time with his Patients and is thorough.I rate Dr. Rosen and the entire staff at St.Joseph Heritage Medical Group as top-rated.Cindy
Dr. Norman Rosen himself is a fine doctor, has a quiet but overall caring manner. However, his office is run very badly: long waits on the telephone to make appointments, long waits at the office to go into your appointment, confusion by staff on the phone when you try to follow up on appointments, prescriptions, etc.
Dr. Rosen is extremely thorough. He listens carefully and respectfully, does a complete exam, and accurately pinpoints the problem. Dr. Rosen also has excellent suggestions (which I follow) that have improved my overall health. I know that I am receiving the best possible medical care.
He could be a great doctor when he wants to be, if he is busy or in a bad mood he doesn't want to listen to what his patients have to say. He has been my doctor for years, but this last visit will be my last, I went in for a physical and he was rushed not in a good mood due to what seemed like a nurse in training, during the internal portion of the physical he poked something wrong which was very painful at the time and I bled all weekend. His bedside manor is hit or miss, I'm tired of the misses.

That's indeed a serious problem and as you might expect, many are angry about this. A state senator had this to say about it:
Some are angry and upset. Some simply need the checks so they can pay the bills. If this is prolonged, then it will cause ripple effects for people who can't pay their living expenses.An economist at Cal State Channel Islands added this bit of wisdom:
It's a serious and critical situation. Many people receiving benefits, they live check to check. If it's delayed even a day, it could mean that they can't eat.Now, in no way am I downplaying the serious nature of this situation. I hope this can be rectified quickly. But the purpose of this blog post is to ask, just exactly what is so rocket science that these quotes had to be obtained? Isn't what they said merely common sense? I mean, any fool would know this without having to have some politician tell you the first thing and some "expert" tell you the second.
Now had they responded with something like,
The sum of the square roots of any two sides of an isosceles triangle is equal to the square root of the remaining side. Oh joy, rapture! I've got a brain!Then that would be real wisdom, eh?
Okay, sarcasm aside, so often there is "expert commentary" that is added to things that really are nothing more than common sense, or observations that any ordinary person of reasonable, average intelligence could surmise. That goes for sports commentary, political commentary, or these quotes from newspapers.
Yet it seems we all need it. Just like how people like to leave the lights on in a room even if they aren't in it, or they leave the television on even if they aren't watching it. We seem to want the comfort and security of noise.
Just think what life would be like if all the unnecessary stuff went unsaid instead of said. I guess there would be too much uncomfortable silence. You wouldn't have my blog to read either, I suppose.

Absolutely Animal Friendly
The gloves are off for TV’s star presenter as she talks to Viva!’s Juliet Gellatley about her love for animals and why people get up her nose
Don’t be fooled by Wendy Turner – or rather Wendy Turner-Webster, following her marriage to actor Gary Webster. As host of Channel Four TV’s hit series Pet Rescue, she comes across as warm and concerned, smiling and friendly. She’s all of those things but running right through the middle of her is a streak of real passion and determination.
When it comes to animals she is completely upfront and blunt – wonderfully blunt, spicing her concerns with the occasional flourish of florid language for emphasis. But even when verbally slicing the legs of someone for hypocrisy or greed, laughter lurks just below the surface. When it erupts – and it does so regularly – it is totally infectious.
She can afford to be occasionally judgmental because of all the animal programme presenters Wendy is the one with the best credentials – she cares about animals so much that she has become a committed vegan.
I met her at the Orange Tree pub in Richmond, one of the few London pubs with a theatre attached. Appropriate, really, as she loves appearing on stage. In fact, this Christmas she will be indulging in a bit of flamboyant thigh slapping as Genie of the Ring in the pantomime Aladdin right here in Brighton.
“I love performing and being on stage in front of an audience. It’s so different to TV work where there’s just you and the camera and no one to cheer you or react to you. I like having the chance, even if it’s only once a year, to do something different.”
Last year she did something very different as Maid Marion – fell in love with and married Robin Hood. She was, when I met her, expecting their first merry little man (or woman). He or she will be brought up as a vegan.
“I hate it when they put that little by-line on milk saying that it’s completely ‘natural’ – yes, natural for the cow but not for humans. I’m adamant that cow’s milk is for cows, goat’s milk is for goats and human milk is for humans. If you’re standing up and publicly saying these things, you can’t suddenly change your mind because you have a baby. I’ve set my stall out and I’m going to stick to it.”
The last sentence was said with a glint in the eye and real determination. It might have something to do with the fact that Gary still eats meat.
“It’s quite tough trying to explain to him that our baby isn’t going to drink cow’s milk because he can’t really believe there’s an alternative. “I handed Wendy a draft of the article Losing Your Bottle (page 15) and she accepted it eagerly. Again the glint of determination: “I’ll make him read it!”
Wendy Turner-Webster’s journey to veganism is, in many ways, a familiar one. The sudden association between real, live, breathing animals and the lamb chop on the plate. It came about because Country File was showing during Sunday lunch when she was about 13 years old.
“The equation fell into place instantly. I loved my cat and dog and my pony and yet there were other animals which it was okay to eat. It was just illogical and I specifically remember this piece of lamb going round and round my mouth and I just couldn’t bring myself to swallow it. Not long after I went vegetarian my mum followed me. Because she controls the kitchen and refused to have any meat in the house, my dad had no option but to join us. He claims now that he’s vegetarian of his own free will – but there was bit of coercion at the beginning.”
Like many vegetarians, Wendy remained ignorant of the dairy industry until comparatively recently when some campaigning literature plonked on to the door mat.
“It is always a source of amazement to me that I didn’t become vegan earlier. I was so ignorant and I’m still not sure if it was simply because it’s easier not to think about the cruelty of the dairy industry. As I read the details I realised that if you give up meat for moral reasons, you really have to become vegan. And so I did, immediately. It was the biggest change in my life because there are a lot of clothes and shoes to be thrown out.”
Perhaps the most irritating question which every committed vegan or vegetarian asks themselves – the one that keeps churning around in your brain endlessly but to which there's is no real answer – is why do some people respond when they discover the truth and others don’t. Certainly Wendy has asked herself this question and answered it – and it’s an answer that irritates her.
“Like a lot of things in life, it’s easier to ignore cruelty and bury your head in the sand. Killing animals, vivisection, they’re not the least bit fluffy or cuddly. They’re not nice – in fact they’re bloody unpleasant. And, quite frankly, I think a lot of people are greedy and think about their stomachs before they think of anything else. You hear them say ‘I couldn’t possibly give up cheese’, or ‘I couldn’t survive without my roast’ and I think ‘get a life’. It’s all so self-indulgent and just smacks to me of greed. Of course they can survive, that’s just a pathetic thing to say.
“You can’t claim to be an animal lover and eat them at the same time. To me that is the height of hypocrisy. You’ve probably heard the expression that if slaughterhouse walls were made of glass most people would be vegetarian. Unfortunately they’re not.”
Even when she’s laying into meat eaters with passion and voice projection that could reach the back row of the Palladium, still there’s a smile playing around her lips and as she finishes the hatchet job, she bursts into laughter. What must it be like to be on the set with her?
“Politically, it would be difficult for me to start challenging the people I interview or those I need co-operation from for the programmes. I’m very careful not to preach to people nor to try and force my beliefs on them but usually I don’t have to because people are very good at raising the subject themselves. There’s something about it which worries them and they can’t leave it alone. As soon as you sit down for a meal with them they’ll ask something – like whether it’s difficult to be a vegan.
“I find it absolutely bizarre that most of the people I come across in my work – people who look after animals, try to save them or campaign for them – are meat eaters. They eat factory farmed meat! They spout off about what great animal lovers they are and they do it while they’re munching on a ham sandwich.”
Wendy Turner-Webster is 32 years old and her background is in writing and journalism. There is one thing she has in common with her older sister Anthea, comedian Nick Hancock and my dog Charlie. They all come from Stoke-on-Trent and you can still hear that distinctive Potteries twang in their accents – well, perhaps not Charlie’s. She claims that television presenting simply fell into her lap.
“I auditioned for Absolutely Animals about three years ago and, of course, I was totally passionate about animal welfare. It wasn’t just another presenting job to me but something which combined my two great interests. I think the passion showed through and that’s why I got the job. Presenting Pet Rescue was a spin off from it and I consider myself very lucky to have this particular job.”
It would be easy to imagine that someone who respects animals so much would find it sometimes harrowing to cover the stories she does on Pet Rescue. But Wendy is incredibly pragmatic about it, putting most of the ill treatment down to irresponsibility, neglect or simply being ‘thick’. And the positive side is that most of the animals are eventually rehomed. There are, she says, few stories of calculated cruelty in the programme although she is fully aware that some terrible things do happen.
“I don’t actually find it very distressing because there are many other worse things, such as factory farming and the lies and deception which support it. If people want to see something really distressing then this is what they should bloody well look at. They should look deeper and see the really heart-breaking stuff rather than agonising over a cat waiting a couple of months to be rehomed.”
Wendy has no illusions that Pet Rescue will suddenly transform people’s eating habits but she does think the rash of animal programmes is successfully communicating an important message – the need for responsibility towards companion animals.
“I never miss an opportunity to tell people not to buy animals from breeders but to get them from rescue centres and I’m really vigorous in my opposition to buying reptiles. I just wish more people would relate their own animals to what they’re putting in their mouths. To challenge the segregating of animals – ‘we mustn’t eat dogs but we must eat pigs’ – you have to overcome a huge psychological barrier.
“There’s a lot of compassion out there but also a lot of blindness and it all comes down to education. That’s why it’s so important to reach young people, who are still taught to love some animals and to eat others and if you don’t eat them you won’t survive. It’s heavy propaganda and that’s where you have to start chipping away at it to break the circle . It’s amazing how difficult it is to get away from that thinking. It seems that some things have got to hit you in the face before you take any notice. And that’s why Viva!’s campaigns are so important, particularly those for young people, because they actually change minds.”
Wendy has no false illusions about the size of the struggle and being in the media, is aware of the difficulties of getting coverage when you’re not able to afford the huge sums which advertising can swallow up. She also has no false illusions about the role of TV in exposing such things as factory farming and making a stand on them.
“I’m quite surprised that these animal issues aren’t given more coverage but it’s probably because they won’t pull in the advertising revenue. It’s a simple equation – people don’t want to know about them therefore the viewing figures aren’t going to be very high and so the powers that be won’t commission them. People never cease to annoy me!
“The truth is that there are too many vested interests involved and it all comes down to money. Whole industries and careers are built on the cruelty of vivisection and factory farming and they don’t want to look for alternatives. Change would be like a revolution to them and their worlds would start to collapse. It’s nothing but short-term gain for a few and it’s frightening that the human race as a whole can’t see that or doesn’t have the bottle to say ‘we have to take the animals out of the equation’. And in the meantime we’ll keep getting the advertising telling us how good meat is for us.”
One thing the media has been very good at recently has been filling our screens and newspapers with pictures of pathetic farmers, wringing their hands and telling us how hard times are for them and how much they love their animals and how it pains them to have to shoot them. We know from experience that this is the story journalists have decided is the one the country wants to hear – and no other.
The thousands of press releases we’ve issued – outlining the destructive effect of subsidies, how animals are destroying the environment and human health and how we now have the opportunity to rethink agriculture – have been almost completely ignored. I somehow suspect the Wendy is also going to have strong views on this subject.
“I look at farmers and wonder how they can have become so desensitised that they can keep animals in the conditions they do.
They obviously no longer see them as living, breathing, feeling creatures. They happily take them to slaughterhouses to have them killed in appalling circumstances, chopped up and disguised with nice packaging. To them, animals are just a product and they trot out the old excuse that we need them to survive. And the people who eat them are just as bad. It’s a load of bullshit.
“You see the farmers in the media almost expecting – demanding – sympathy for their plight. Well tough, it’s no different to any other industry. If people don’t want to buy curtains any more then your little curtain shop goes bust. It’s supply and demand. You can’t expect people to prop you up out of some misguided loyalty or sympathy when your business ain’t working any more. Sorry, but that’s just tough. That’s how things are changing. We don’t want factory farming any more!”
I resisted the urge to cheer and Wendy smiled beautifully, like she had just paid someone a huge compliment. She shifted her position to make herself more comfortable, reminding us both that she would soon have someone else to worry about.
“Before you have children you tend to think in terms of what will have happened in the world by the end of your lifetime. Suddenly, I have to think what changes my baby will see. If he’s a boy he’ll be called Jack. Scientists are just contemplating breeding animals to use their organs in human transplants but in Jack’s life it might become the norm. You know, I find that so depressing.”
Much as I hate the hype over the new millennium, it’s impossible not to think how you would like the next thousand years to differ from the last. I asked Wendy about her hopes.
“I would like people to think about all animals in the same way and not to discriminate between one and another. Once that psychological barrier has started to break down and people don’t discriminate between their cat and a couple of sausages, I think there would be major changes. The simple truth is, you can’t love animals and eat them at the same time.”

08 April 2019Scottish actor takes play celebrating piping genius Gordon Duncan to the Fringe
Scottish actor David Colvin, who created a play about the late piping genius Gordon Duncan, is to take the play, Thunderstruck, to the Edinburgh Fringe for a full run in August.
As well as composing many tunes that have passed into the folk tradition, Gordon Duncan arranged the AC/DC song Thunderstruck for the Highland bagpipes, going as far as to incorporate sounds including a remarkably true impression of guitar feedback. His first performance of this daring “cover version”- staged at an Edinburgh International Festival series of piping concerts - helped to win him a Herald Angel award, which was presented to his family following his tragic death in 2005.
Colvin premiered the play at Piping Live! in Glasgow last August and reprised it for Celtic Connections in January. After being turned down for funding from Made in Scotland, he is personally financing the Fringe run, which takes place at Assembly’s Checkpoint venue, in order to tell the story of Duncan, who worked as a bin man in Pitlochry despite being revered the world over, to as wide an audience as possible. Donations in support of his venture can be made at

Hello!.
To add some highlight, create new layer, and use large soft white brush to add a spot. Then, transform it (Ctrl-T) - stretch it horizontally.
Change layer blend mode to Overlay.
Next step is to create a cloud. Change forecolor to light blue, switch to Shape tool (U), select Ellipse, switch to 'Add to shape area' mode (2nd button in top row, so that all shapes you create are in single layer). Then, holding Shift, add several circles, overlapping each other a bit.
Add the following layer effects:
- drop shadow (black,!
Add another small cloud in front of bigger cloud. When you add layer effects to smaller cloud, decrease all sizes and percents accordingly.
And then, more and more clouds!
Next, we need a rainbow. We will make rainbow with shapes, each color in one shape layer. Create new layer (behind layers with clouds). Set forecolor to red, select ellipse shape tool (U) and make a red circle (as always, holding Shift to preserve proportion)?
Here goes the trick. I wanted one of my rainbows to 'dissolve' into separate lines, each color flying in separate direction. Here is how to do it: for each layer with color, select the shape with path selection (A) tool, then switch to Pen (P) or Rectangle (U) (does not really matter), change shape mode to Substract, and add a shape that hides part of the circle. Repeat with each color of rainbow - it will look nicer if lines are cut in different locations.
Now we need to add 'flying' lines of colors. We could do).
Start your path by clicking exactly the middle of where red line is cut, and dragging (and releasing) the mouse continuing red line direction.
Continue your path until it is outside document boundaries.
Switch to brush tool (B), set forecolor to the same red color as the raibow :-).
Set shape layer blend mode to Overlay, then in new layer, add a dot with white soft brush....
... then set its blend mode to Overlay too!
Add more stars in similar way..
Next layer: eyes. Made with Pen tool. Change blend mode to Multiply, no layer effects.

Claremont Board Adopts Articles on School District Warrant
Claremont — The School Board last night voted unanimously to adopt 10 articles on the school district warrant, including a $12.5 million bond to renovate Stevens High School and a $32.22 million budget.
The warrant now moves to the Feb. 6 deliberative session where residents can amend some of the articles before the annual school district vote on March 12.
SAU 6 Business Manager Tim Ball said at a sparsely attended meeting if all the articles with appropriations were approved as currently proposed the school tax rate would increase $1.34 to $19.80 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The increase breaks down to about 60 cents for the budget, which includes a 21-cent increase in the state education tax and a 39-cent increase in the local rate. The remainder of the increase is spread out among the rest of the articles.
The 20-year bond article for Stevens would have a 30-cent tax rate impact the first year.
The budget approval was conditional as the board agreed it could make further reductions before the deliberative session.
One article seeks voter approval for a 20-year lease agreement to install $6.1 million of energy savings equipment at the district’s three elementary schools, the middle school and Stevens High School. The equipment would include upgrades in lighting, insulation and windows and installation of wood pellet/hybrid propane boiler systems at all schools. The annual lease payments of $330,000 would be paid for with energy savings in the annual budget, thus there is no tax rate impact from the article, the School Board said.
“We can do it at a zero cost to the taxpayers,” said board chairman Richard Seaman. “We will spend those dollars anyway so this is a tremendous opportunity for Claremont.”
Ned Raynolds of Johnson Controls of Manchester, N.H., the company that has made the proposal, said if the guaranteed savings fall short, it will cover the difference for the school district.
“Energy performance contracting is about making needed capital improvements with money you already have,” Raynolds told the board. “If you make no improvements, you will keep spending that money. We guarantee that the savings generated by the improvements will pay for themselves.”
Raynolds said if the article passes along with the bond for Stevens, Johnson Controls would integrate its work with what Banwell Architects designs for Stevens.
Board member Dave Putnam said the boilers at Stevens are more than 100 years old and were originally built for coal. He said emergency repairs during a recent cold snap were needed to avoid shutting down the school.
“We have no choice (but to replace the boilers,)” Putnam said. “This is an incredible opportunity to embrace.”
Ingrid Nichols and Jules Chatot of Banwell Architects presented the plans for renovating Stevens.
Highlights include complete upgrades to all plumbing, electrical and mechanical systems, larger classes, expanded cafeteria, a renovated kitchen, new entryway, new doors and some windows, making the entire building compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, creating a bus loop and car drop-off area out front and adding parking.
Only three residents attended last night’s public hearing on the bond. Resident Cynthia Howard, who frequently criticizes city spending, said it was the wrong idea at this time and blamed the problems at Stevens on a lack of proper maintenance.
“It doesn’t cost $13 million to do the repair work,” said Howard, who suggested the school district do a little work each year using money from the maintenance budget. “It doesn’t have to be done all at once.”
Chairman Seaman defended the proposal.
“We believe the proposal puts us in a position to have high academic achievement and academic excellence for all children in Claremont. That is what the focus is on.”
Also on the warrant are three separate contracts for maintenance and transportation employees, paraprofessionals and secretaries. A new contract for administrators valued at $26,514 has been included in the main budget.
If everything passes as currently proposed it would add $202 in school taxes to a home assessed at $150,000.
The default budget, which would be implemented if the proposed budget fails, is $32.11 million.

Dear Bitchy,
Twenty-ONE years ago today your entry into this world taught me the meaning of true honest to God joy. I don’t think I can adequately describe that feeling in my heart when I first laid my eyes on you. I’ve learned so many more things from you since then.
I’ve learned how to laugh from deep down in my soul. I’ve laughed at you, I’ve laughed because of you, and of late - I’ve laughed with you.
I’ve learned the true meaning of fear, and the many faces fear has: the first STEP fear; the bicycle with no training wheels fear; the dealing with mean girls fear and the watching you enter middle school fear.
But, my darling, when you turned 16, you showed my heart the toughest meaning of fear. The kind of fear that creeps into a mother’s heart late at night and grips it so tightly it almost stops beating. I also learned to live with that fear, so that you could live your life, and make your own mistakes. (That was a tough one.) I've learned to harness that fear and turn it into hope.
You’ve also taught me that no matter how many mistakes I make, no matter how many times I embarrass you and no matter how many times I scream at you – you still love me. For that, I am most grateful.
And so, on this very special day, I want to tell you this. I loved the little girl who ran away from home to the backyard when I wouldn’t make her soup; I loved the little girl who in middle school got detention for spraying perfume on Jack Sprat; and I loved the young woman who in high school learned some tough, heartbreaking, valuable life lessons. You took them to heart and paved a new path for yourself – and that made me very, very proud.
Most importantly, I love you for who you are right now.
You are a part of my heart, my soul and my dreams. I can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.
Happy Birthday my darling Bitchy. I love you more than you will ever know. Well, except when you have a bitchy of your very own. Then you will know........only then.
(It's a repost from last year- her 20th. However, I'm too verkelmpt to write a new one. Plus, we're meeting for a DRINK, and i have to get ready!!.)
80 comments:
Happy Birthday, Bitchy! Your mom is so proud of you...it's apparent in every word she writes.
Perfect and just right. Junior High is much harder than High School. I have taught both and in High School they soften.
Happy happy birthday, sweetheart. I'd get you a present, but you already have the best mom on the planet!
PS to VM: Linky love on the Dove contest at my place tomorrow. :D
Oh what a post....that one makes this mama cry. What a beautiful post to your daughter and I know I will be learning some of those same fearful lessons. And yes, those teenage lessons scare me the most.
Happy Birthday to your beautiful daughter. Thank God for daughters.
Lovely! A slightly different post from you.. this one... a very happy birthday to your dear daughter!
Ahhh, nothing more moving than a Mother's love! (Unless, of course, you are in your mid 20's and your Mom is psycho like mine! haha!)
Happy Birthday Bitchy! (I almost cannot believe that I just wrote that) LOL!
Congrats to you, VM, for making it this far. She wouldn't be who she is without your love and guidance. xo
A beautiful post. What a joy it is to watch our children grow to be beautiful young woman.
It is funny to read the love and you still call her Bitchy...
xx
Happy birthday Bitchy!
And thanks for giving your mom so many wonderful topics to write about.
J
Happy Birthday Bitchy!
Happy Birthday to your girl! It IS hard to sit back and watch our kids make their own mistakes. Why can't they learn from ours?
Aw, Happy Birthday, Bitchy! Many happy returns to you both!
Happy Birthday Bitchy!
Thank you for just being you :)
And I want that pumpkin mug!
Peace - Rene
Happy Birthday! Great post! :)
Sniff. Happy Birthday, B. Or S. :)
Ah! Happy Birthday Bitchy! What a wonderful tribute to your baby girl.
Wait, there at the end. Did you just issue the "Mother's Curse" on you daughter on her 20th birthday?
Did you just say, "May you have a child EXACTLY LIKE YOU WERE!"???
:-)
Great post! And Happy B-day to your little girl!
Awwwww. Beautiful.
I can't believe you didn't make her soup. What kind of mother I...I mean I expect you had good reasons...
That was very cool. You both rock.
Happy Birthday, kid. Give your mom a hug for us.
Very nice tribute, Happy Birthday Bitchy!
Happy birthday, Bitchy!!! (Must say, have never written those three words together before...)
have a wonderful day....xxxxxxxx
That was a real nice birthday gift to her! Way to go!
You are sooooo right. I never really knew how much my mom loved me until I had my first baby. Then I knew and was blown away at how much love you can have for someone.
And I love the tricycle picture, lol!
Happy birthday!! Hope she has a great day:D
My girlie will be 20 in 9 days. We can't be that old, can we? I must have been 15 when she was born.
Happy Birthday Bitchy!!
Happy birthday to your beautiful girl!
The meaning of love and the meaning of fear. You got that right, VM. I haven't gotten to the 16 year old fear yet, I'm skeert.
Happy Birthday, Bitchy! Thanks for letting your mom share so much of your life with us.
Oh yay!! Another birthday! Another excellent excuse to have chocolate cake!
Best wishes to both of you on this special day!
Very nice post. So sweet. It really is amazing that our kids still love us in spite of ____. Whatever it is. Yelling, quick inaccurate judgments...
That's unconditional love and it always humbles me.
Hope your daughter has a wonderful day.
I'm with Beth, why can't our kids learn from our mistakes; we sure as hell paid for them!
Happy birthday Bitchy!
So well put, lovely.
My youngest was a Friday the 13th baby. Her lucky number too.
20 is big, isn't it? No more teens.
Happy Birthday to the 2 of you!
you know, just about everything about this post was beautiful. happy birthday!
Oh VM, this made me teary-eyed.
It made me think of my oldest, who turns 20 next month. I only hope I can write something as heart-felt and beautiful to her for her special day...
=-)
Happy birthday to you BOTH!
My girl is ten, and I have fear of the fears to come . . .

A few weeks ago, my school had an armed intruder drill. But we didn’t know it was a drill.
The alarm went off, and my classmates and I got up from our desks and went through the motions that have been ingrained in us since Feb. 14, 2018. None of us knew if it was real or not—not even our teacher. Some kids freaked out. We all grabbed our phones, just in case we had to make a few final phone calls. While some of us were scared, most were skeptical. I knew it was fake, but I had no basis for this assumption. I just knew there was no way I was going to die in third-period chemistry.
A few months ago, my French teacher had us move desks. She asked if anyone wanted to sit in the front. One girl raised her hand. She joked, “I want the seat near the door, that way I’ll get shot first if a shooter comes.” People laughed.
For my generation, gun violence isn’t a possibility, it’s an inevitability.
When I die, where will I be? In the hallway? In class? Will I be in the bathroom? Who would I protect? Who would protect me? The intruder drills are a grim reminder each month. There is no guarantee of our safety at school or in this country.
I remember the first time I learned about school shootings. I came downstairs one morning, and the news was on. There was a shooter at an elementary school in Connecticut. I was 9 years old at the time. Barely older than the children being filed out of their classrooms, with dead classmates and teachers. I remember seeing posts on Twitter about a shooting in a nightclub—49 people were dead. It was a hate crime, targeted at a gay bar during Pride Month. I couldn’t process it.
I remember my mother waking me up one October morning. There was another one in Las Vegas—59 people were killed. I remember my best friend texting me on Feb. 14—17 people in Florida. I wasn’t even surprised. Just recently, five more people in Illinois. By the time this is published, undoubtedly, there will be many more.
My generation grew up with a constant cacophony of death, war and trauma. Terrorism, market crashes, Afghanistan, and school shootings. Some saw these horrors first hand. But most of us see them on our phones, an infinite influx of tragic news. My generation is angry. And sad. And scared. But most of all, we’re tired of living in a world where no one is guaranteed safety. Not at nightclubs. Not at concerts. Movies. Churches. Synagogues. Schools. We are never safe. So we must protect each other.
I’ve seen how my generation will come to each other’s defense. We are always ready to call out inequality and mistreatment. We refuse to be silenced, and we refuse to be complicit. Everyone I know has an opinion on politics. In this era, it is impossible to be ignorant and indifferent to current events. Politics exist in our everyday lives, and we are made aware of that fact every time another school falls victim to a shooting.
These issues are deeply personal. Any school could be next, and we have no way of knowing who it will be. Fear has become our new normal.
Fear can give way to three different reactions: fight, flight, or freeze. It is time for all of us to fight. We cannot continue to exist in a country where gun violence causes over 30,000 deaths each year. My generation cannot be forced to handle these problems on its own. This needs to be solved by all of us.
Kimberly Coke is a sophomore at Branham High School. On Thursday, she plans to join thousands of South Bay students plan a walkout to protest gun violence as part of a nationwide movement led by March for Our Lives. On March 30, the youth-led coalition will stage a rally on the Arena Green to amplify their message. For more information click here. Opinion are the author’s own and do not necessarily reflect those of San Jose Inside. Send op-ed pitches to [email protected].
Well put, Kim, and thank you for speaking up. I have kids that were the exact same age as those in Connecticut. I can’t imagine what those families are going through, so senseless.
It will take all of us to turn the tide from fear, motivate people to stand up for what’s right and make the changes needed to put an end to such senseless violence. Guns are WMDs (I know, a term that was birthed from this error of terror), we need to realize that, then do what’s needed to control those devices of mass murder.
The problem is not gun control. There are plenty of gun laws but that does not stop criminals from obtaining them and further makes a criminal out of law abiding citizens. The issue that everyone ignores, especially those on the left is the one thing that is common in all…yes all…the elephant in the room is mental health problems that need to be addressed. Until that happens mass murder will continue. To not address the root cause is naive at the least.
The problem is not the tabaco industry but those who smoke tabaco; the problem is not the drug dealers but those who use drugs; the problem is not the NRA, but those who use guns to kill…right Michael?
FEXXY:
Tobacco is addictive. Regulate tobacco.
Drugs are addictive. Regulate drugs.
Guns are NOT addictive. Guns are a right, and people in a free society can freely choose to exercise their right.
It will help you indulge in some psychological research on how just having guns affects your mind. It is actually very addictive and harmful for the mind and society. The NRA contributes to politicians and then they have to pay their favor by passing laws that supports NRA business masked by the misinterpretation of constitutional rights. The same for the porn industry which our current president is a Mega fun. There is research on the harmful effects of porn and how it is related to the sexually traficking women and children. These two industries are highly powerful and two demons of our times. Say yes to life and mental and physical health. SAY NO TO THE NRA AND THE PORN INDUSTRY!
With all due respect….using a false equivalence does not further your argument but thank you for trying.
With all due respect…stating that all crimes involving guns are committed by those with mental illness is a falasy. Show me the statistics…
Thank you for writing this. You are very thoughtful and eloquent with your words. Your observations and experiences are important and need to be heard. I hope this outlook will help be a part of much needed change for our country and future generations. Thank you.
> the youth-led coalition
What a crock!
Your comment/reply came from a crock. Not sure how it got past moderation.
The Democrat Party is a children’s movement.
Children don’t know anything. That’s why civilization commits them to twelve or more years of education.
Those people who think that children have something deep and profound to say about wise public policy are children themselves.
I’d rather listen to the children, the future of the world, than the grumpy old (wo)man sitting around thinking that they missed out on something and thus living the rest of their lives with a chip on their shoulder. Repubs are a shrinking minority, full of a lot of people that won’t be with us soon. That’s especially true here in California. Repubs are gonna blink out any minute now…
SCCRezzy:
What are you most looking forward to in the coming golden age of all Democrat California?
1. Riding though 23 miles of tunnels though earthquake faults in the Bullet Train?
2. Social, political, and economic union with Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Bangladesh, Somalia, and China?
3. Ninety-three percent tax rates on income and property taxes and the collapse of the California State Employees pension system?
> Not sure how it got past moderation.
I posted it when Jennifer wasn’t looking.
Miss Coke, your not a victim of gun violence you a victim of sensationalized News Media violence and a terror program.
That program is designed to frighten you enough to give up your right to self defense and free speech. This has been a tactic of the left since I was your age since back in 1963.
If every gun on the planet disappeared tomorrow there would still be bad people out there, in the world that can and will do harm to good people. It is up to every one of us to be prepared. Our “Constitution” and “Bill of Rights,” gave “We the People” those rights knowing full well what eventually happens to a defenseless population.
Just take a look at history. Today the people of Venezuela, once the richest freest country in South America are being starved and murdered by a ruthless Socialist Dictator, They gave up their rights for free stuff and security,
they got neither and are now paying a horrible price.
Don’t make the same mistake, once lost rights will never come back.
> once lost rights will never come back.
Huh. I read that as: Once lost, lives never come back.
SCCRazzy.
6 million dead European Jews can’t disagree with your view, but 6 million live Israeli Jews can prove I’m right !
I’m broad minded enough that I can agree with both of you.
Protect lives AND protect gun ownership.
We CAN all get along!
Why sure we can get along, just as long as they do it my way!
I would never tell SCCRazzy he has to buy a gun.
Matter of fact I think he should be on that no fly list.
Ummm. Mr. Gunn:
I think SCCRAzzy might be one of the other genders.
Well pardon my being so genderly incorrect!
Edit out he and substitute it.
My I assume same species ?
Now you are talking Bubble; you have passed the Bandura theory. I am a pro-life and pro-gun control. While I understand I have the right to be pro-life and pro-gun control, I also understand others have a right to be on the other sides. This does not make them my enemies. My goal and agenda is to make both rare. Most women who chose a abortion do so because they were raped, did not have education on birth control methods, no resources to support a child both social and financial. Guns are easily accessible and there is no significant background check, mental, criminal, and so on. For this, focud on factors contributing to too many guns and abortions is a way to decrease guns and abortions without taking others’ rights.
Your statement that most women have abortions is absolutely false. Reasons cited in a study outlining the very subject are as follows:
.”
You should read carefully before responding. I did not say that most women have abortions. I said most women who choose…abortion. This is quite different. Do you see it? I will not read rest of your post; it is based on bad reading and interpretation.
FEXXNIST,
You have to go through a criminal, mental health, a back ground check, and a ten day waiting period for an abortion. That news to me! Then you get to kill someone.
I can imagine the outcry of the left if everyone that pasted all of that and then got a gun was allowed to go kill a bad guy.
Guns in this state are not legally easily accessible, especially if your under 21, and the state/taxpayers aren’t going to pay for yours.
Saying guns are additive or cause mental illness is like saying cars cause drunk diving or bank robberies because they are used in getaways and drive by shooting. So now you may not drive or own a car till you are 21, and can pass that same background check?
No right to drive, get a license, or own a car, not protected in the Bill of Rights or for an abortion.
Maybe you should rethink your position.
Show me YOUR STATS, then I will believe you! Scholarly literature not NRA studies or paid for.
Armed security.
Problem solved.
Excuse me! ONLY SAN JOSE INSIDE INTELLECTUALS ALLOWED ON THIS TREAD. Where is the beef?
You demand stats from others but you refuse to provide stats to back up your claim. Case in point you stated “Most women who chose a abortion do so because they were raped…” where is your study to back this up. From what I can tell of your writings on this blog your just another left wing troll…possibly controlled by the Russians.
I said most women who choose abortion do so because of the social oppressive factors. For example google what guys post about single mothers. Then, families take support away from their daughters for being pregnant when they justify even their sons raping someone, Turner big example. Women may event face insults for being pregnant while males do not face this for fathering a child. There is no enough support for young girls to continue their education or maintain a full time job with benefits. Yes it is gender oppression that forces most women who choose abortion to choose this instead of being mothers. If they receive welfare, they are also judged by that. For this, it is hard to choose to be a mother in a male society and world. You were hurt about me telling you that you have bad reading skills, so you are trying to change subject. IT IS NOT THE SAME TO STATE MOST WOMEN WHO CHOOSE ABORTION THAN MOST WOMEN HAVE ABORTIONS.
No … I am asking you to vote your statistics…if you cannot…you are just a troll…I cited my sources
The goggle scholar option is there. Be objective in your research and citing. You have bad reading skills, I am optimist you are good at googling subjects.
Really FEXXNIST. You don’t believe 6 million unarmed Jews were murdered by a Socialist Government during WW2?
Government education has really taken a turn for the worst !
Government education = indoctrination
Private currently. Are you insulting those who attend public? …most Americans…
The public school system in California has strayed from educating our young to indoctrinate them into socialism. California currently ranks 42 among the states in educating our young according to a study. (See study story below) our students are spending less time in the classroom and the time spent is mostly on social engineering and indoctrination into socialism. They are young, impressionable and are being used and manipulated by those on the left hence this anti-gun op-ed by a teenager.
Gun control will not solve the issue of mass murder that is a mental health issue that we as a society refuse to deal with. If all the guns are taken away you will see that other instruments will be used as we have seen in the past…use of knives, explosives, fire, aircraft, automobiles and trucks. We have all of these weapons used in recent history but there is no call for a ban on them.
When it comes to firearm related deaths from all causes (suicide, homicide, justifiable, accidental etc.) It does not even reach into the top ten causes of death in the U.S. according to the CDC. Medical errors account for far more but do you call on a ban of doctors, pharmacies and hospitals? Of course not. Talk of gun control is sexy same as abortion. It serves only to keep the populous divided so we are focused on each other instead of the activities of our government.
Bla..bla…bla…let us blame California and its public school system for Californians being against NRA and being so pro-gun control. KAMALA FOR PRESIDENT; KAMALA FOR THE PEOPLE! We need a California woman in the White House! SAY NO TO GUNS AND NO TO NRA.
> Show me YOUR STATS, then I will believe you! Scholarly literature not NRA studies or paid for.
Who knows what “Scholarly literature” is anymore.
Much of the “Scholarly literature” on “:global warming” is deceitful ignorant sophistry.
“Scholarly” warming quacks constantly emit so-called “if-then” thumb suckers: “IF global warming is true, THEN the sea levels are going to rise thirty-six feet in Palo Alto in the next eighty-one years and we’re all going to die”.
Oh really? And WHERE IS the EXPERIMENTAL SCIENCE that proves that global warming is true? No hallucinatory :GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT “computer models”, thank you.
I am pro-gun control; I AM A CALIFORNIAN! Vote KAMALA!
I did not attend the California School System K-12. What I have learned from my father and the teachings of my lord Yeshua is that those in position to help others should do just that. Money and power must be used to improve humanity and those who are oppressed. I should love and take care of the environment and love and protect animals since they sustain my life. I should not judge people since I myself am at fault too. Instead, I should work at helping them improve their lives and conditions and find their happiness. I should not fear or be intimidated by men kind. I must never place men knowledge over God’s. He created all. If this is the description of a socialist; I AM PROUDLY A SOCIALIST!
> I should not judge people since I myself am at fault too.
Really?
Brock Turner?
Aaron Persky?
Donald Trump?
Stop the presses! I think we may have a conversion here!
I said people, regular people, not the members and elements of oppression and RAPE CULTURE! Take Trump and rape culture out of the White House. VOTE KAMALA!
> I said people, regular people, not the members and elements of oppression and RAPE CULTURE!
I guess the conversion was false alarm.
Luckily, I’m not on commission and don’t get paid by the convert.
Take RAPE CULTURE out of office. VOTE KAMALA!
Tell me….how did the charges of sexual harassment in Kamala’s office work out? The abuser kept his job and the abused was forced out. Yeah…she’s a shining light.
Tell me what is the status of the Stormy scandal and the White House. Sexual harassment, human trafficking, and sexually perverted people particularly males on all parties and systems have to be addressed sooner rather than later. Both parties are at fault. This is why my statement of vote for the least evil.
You brought Kamala as a savior to women. You refused to engage in a subject you brought up. But since you asked Stormy had to pay Trump $239,000.
Proof that global warming is real:
It is all around you; you must be selectively blinded.
Yes, it’s all around you. Look up into the sky.
Global warming explained:
Michael, I have never said KAMALA is a savior. I have said: Vote for the least evil. the MOST evil is Trump. Jesus is the only savior I know.
Now who being judgmental? Kamala is evil, I’ve seen her forked tongue in action. Trumps was a playboy long before he ran. Smitten by a pricey temptress all you have shown is he is human. Kamala calling for the legalization of prostitution,
covering up her own sins? No savior there!
Trump was not a playboy; HE IS A SEXUAL PIG!
Legalization of prostitution takes blame from women and gives responsibility to men. I have read in court reports and even hear in the news about child prostitutes. For example while the Oakland officers were being accuse of having sex with the minor. A minor cannot choose to be a child prostitute. Those are phrases use to minimize the behavior of child sexual abusers and pedophiles. NO CHILD IS A PROSTITUTE, but a victim of sexual abuse or commercial sexual trafficking. Top rich guys of this country are the consumers of these sexual crimes. Trump is the best known Mega porn consumer! Women and children are forced to this sexual slavery. F…RAPE CULTURE!
We can not continue to exist in a country where people persistently try to take away our fundamental rights. I have a human right to defend myself no matter what Ms. Coke thinks, thank you very much. The 2nd Amendment got us through the past 230 years as much as any other clause in the Constitution, with almost zero help from the Regressive Left. How far would FDR gone without the citizenry armed, or Nixon?
Take your virtual signalling, busybodying elsewhere.
FDR and Nixon were stopped with citizens with guns? Kulak, what are you even talking about?!?
You’re also confusing the issue with your outlier definition of ‘fundamental rights’. I consider being able to breathe clean air a fundamental right, not getting to strut around like Rambo, pretending I can stop all crime just because I have a firearm.
def. fundamental: forming a necessary base or core
There is not breathing clean air when you are dead, so the right to self defense is a nessecary base to your right to breathe celan air. One depends on the other.
In the 20th Century alone, there were 262M victims of Democide, or death by government.
Far more than War, more than Tobacco, Diabetes:
How many Jews would still be alive in Poland had they had guns, how many Ukranians farmers and KULAKS, how many colonized people?
How many Indians died under the British because they did not fight back?
Armed civilians can defeat empires. The US has conceded to Vietnam and Afganistan. The USSR conceded to Afganistan. Repulsed attacks cause less deaths, and certainly no deterred attacks cause even less.
There is nothing special about our leaders or the US population. We have many Russians, Germans, Indians, British, Chinese in our ranks. Freedom for the common man and their ability to ensure that freedom by force are what seperated us from the rest of the bad actors of the 20th century. The resurgence of Leftist Authortarianism in restriction of speech, attacks on gun rights, and daily infringements on property rights just demonstrate that the Left will never learn the lessons of the 20th century.
Don’t change the subject, Kulak. You said the NRA stopped FDR and Nixon with their guns. All I know is that even today, people love their Social Security program, and the Repub criminal Nixon got shamed out of office.
NRA Fail!
The NRA and Social Security are neither here nor there. This is about infringing on the second amendment and it must not be tolerated.
I understand a HS kid can get misguided by thier teacher (evident with the Leftisy talking point of 30K gun violence deaths, a fudge statistic as over 60% of those are suicides and won’t be solved by gun control) while that same teacher omits the history of the 20th century. But adults don’t have any excuses.

War is Everywhere: Why?
Inscrit le 27 février 2012
- Articles
Everyday, when watching the news or reading the newspaper, there is always some war-related news: terrorist attacks, invasions of countries, deaths, collapses of countries, etc.There is enough problems with the environment. Why make war when you can focus on much better things? Wars are created by greedy people. I do not like war, there is no actual winner except for politicians and arms dealers since they benefit most from the war.
I feel blessed to live in a country where there is no civil war or invasions from other countries. For the most part, I feel safe and secure but who knows what the future holds for Asians countries. War might come to us next. That fear is probably exaggerated and hopefully peace will prevail.

My article on Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum is up on SSRN. It is forthcoming in the Notre Dame Law Review‘s Federal Courts Issue.
Here is the abstract; comments on the article are welcome:
The unanimous ruling in Kiobel v. Royal Dutch Petroleum blind-sided the legal academy. The case involved one of the most contentious and dynamic aspects of U.S. foreign relations law, the Alien Tort Statute (ATS). Yet the Court surprised observers by deciding the case on grounds almost entirely ignored by the academy – the presumption against extraterritoriality.
Amazingly, despite an extensive academic literature on the ATS, the winning issue in Kiobel had never been examined in a law review until a 2003 student note. No court ruled on it until 2010. Indeed, the issue had not even been part of the litigation in Kiobel until the Court sua sponte raised it during oral argument. Finally, the Court’s unanimous endorsement of an extraterritoriality limitation came as yet another surprise to most observers, who predicted a split along more ideological lines.
The story of the extraterritoriality issue in ATS litigation is a case study in the path dependence of legal doctrine and of agenda-setting by the Supreme Court and the Justice Department. This Article examines the intellectual history of extraterritoriality arguments in ATS litigation, while placing Kiobel in a broader context of international trends in universal jurisdiction. The Article also considers possible reasons for this academic oversight. While normative approval of ATS litigation no doubted contributed to the neglect of the issue in the exciting early years of ATS litigation, its longstanding omission must also be attributed to broader intellectual factors. It demonstrates the power of sub silentio decisions: while courts had never dealt with presumption in ATS cases, most observers assumed the issue to have been

Bettina Sellmann's The Clearing (2008).Courtesy of Derek Eller Gallery
As you're venturing through one of the more densely wooded patches of Central Park — say, in the West Seventies — you come to a clearing and are confronted by an apparition: two beautiful women in exotic finery (very little of it in one case) kneel before a floating spirit. Transfixed, you watch the séance, trying your best to stay hidden — until … So goes only one of the countless possible fairy tales that can unspool after looking at the watercolor-on-canvas paintings of Brooklyn-based Bettina Sellmann. See this particular reverie-inducer at Derek Eller Gallery through August 15. —Andrew M. Goldstein

Why Did Reality Judges Decide to Never, Ever Say Anything Critical Again?
Last week's season premiere of 30 Rock included a B-story that found Jenna moonlighting as a cruel toddler-bashing talent scout on NBC's new hit Kidz Got Singing. Tina Fey's show is usually spot-on when it comes to skewering reality TV, but this time it was working off an obsolete premise. The age of the brutal, ego-crushing Mean Judge has pretty much ended on prime-time musical competition series. Last year American Idol welcomed a judging trio that offered nary a discouraging word to finalists once the ringers from the early rounds were dismissed. The four superstar jurists of NBC's The Voice were too busy playfully dissing each other last spring to notice when contestants delivered subpar performances. All hopes for a break from the incessant and often undeserved wave of televisual praise fell on the reliably bitchy Simon Cowell when he returned to TV for The X Factor last fall. After all, it was his breakout brutality that spawned so many imitative reality contests and had every producer looking to fill the "Simon spot" on their judging panel with such wannabe assholes as Lorenzo Lamas (Are You Hot?), Faye Dunaway (The Starlet), and Piers Morgan (America's Got Talent). But no, even Simon went soft. He reserved his sharp tongue for staged banter with fellow judge L.A. Reid, while to contestants, the only sadistic thing about him was his use of the phrase "you're the one to beat." What has happened to singing competitions? Did the FCC institute a Douchebag Jar? Why has criticism become verboten to these on-air judges, and is boring politeness here to stay? As we near tonight's eleventh season premiere of American Idol, we ventured to find out what's behind this new wave of civility — and when it might end. Spoiler alert: Get your teacup pinkies out, because civility is gonna be around for a while.
The softening of TV's musical judges began a year ago, when Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler joined vet Randy Jackson on the post-Simon Idol panel. Initially, Jackson seemed to have elected himself the new Simon; while the two newbies only occasionally allowed themselves to be negative, Randy gleefully lit into the attention-seekers and the obliviously bad, often to the seeming discomfort of J. Lo. But he had a sudden change of heart once the finalists were decided and viewers began voting and looked to the panel to give them guidance. Suddenly, instead of critiques, viewers got coddling. American Idol: The Untold Story author Richard Rushfield noted that in one early April performance episode, the judges offered a grand total of just one mildly critical remark for the entire night. "I think it's very important to the audiences of these things that they feel the competition is entirely fair and everyone will rise or fall on their merits," Rushfield says now. "When you went entire episodes without a single judge making a single critical comment, it crossed over from being supportive to hype, and left one with the feeling the producers were trying to sell the audience on a level of talent that didn't exist, and that the judges, rather than being honest and straight with the viewers, were tailoring their comments to serve an agenda."
Some industry observers speculate this unanimous kindness was ordered by the showrunners and Fox, who desperately wanted to avoid being seen as trying to replace Simon with a clone. "There were a lot of Simon Cowell wannabes on other reality shows right after Idol launched," one industry wag notes. "People got pigeonholed as 'the mean one' or 'the Simon.' So I think [producers] wanted to get away from that and find judges with their own identities." But Idol exec producer Ken Warwick told Vulture this month that he and his colleagues would never instruct judges on how to react. "It is absolutely straight," he insisted. Fox president of alternative programming Mike Darnell concurs, saying there's been no network pressure to change tone and arguing that the trio was just as honest in their assessments as past panels had been. "I would dispute the question," he said when asked why the judging seemed so limp. "They are being honest. It's just not in the harsh way that Simon used to be honest. It's like the parent who doesn't scream at their kid, but when they say they're disappointed, it hits them really hard. And that's what Idol has right now. They don't scream. They're not brutal. But when Steven says he's disappointed ... they feel it."
Still, there's evidence that an unbridled Tyler might be more candid if left completely unchecked by producers and editors. When we talked to him after an American Idol press conference earlier this month, he revealed that he was sometimes tougher on early round contestants than viewers saw last season. "There's so much that hasn't been used," he says. "There are days when stuff has really sucked and we're at our wit's end. Look, 80 percent of them suck. They've never played clubs. They're not good." But Tyler says he's "grateful" that some of his meaner moments ended up on the editing room floor, since the show, in his opinion, is more about the "20 percent that are so good" they become finalists. What's more, "I've got four kids. I [didn't bring] them up saying, 'How could you fail that test?' or 'You suck at homework,'" he says. "You don't get anywhere with that."
Given how strong ratings for Idol remained throughout last spring, audiences either disagreed with critics such as Rushfield or simply didn't care enough to tune out. And the producers of NBC's rival The Voice clearly noticed audiences didn't miss the mean: It premiered in late April with a panel of celeb judges determined to kill their contestants with kindness. The very concept of the show dissuades criticism, as the judges are boosters, not critics. (And in the audition rounds, aspirants were physically blocked from even accidentally catching any wayward distaste on the coaches' faces, thanks to the obstructing chair backs.) Exec producer Mark Burnett says that while his judges will point out when singers "who get nervous in the moment" hit a bad note, harsh comments simply don't make sense with his show's format. "On The Voice, there are no bad singers," he told us. Judge Adam Levine seconds that, saying that if there were contestants who were "consistently awful," he'd speak up. "But that's not something we're really dealing with because everyone on the show can sing," he told Vulture.
For the sake of argument, let's not second-guess Levine's talent-spotting abilities. In fact, let's say — hypothetically! — that everyone who makes it to the later rounds on Idol, The Voice, and The X Factor are capable crooners. Even if that were true, they can't all be equals. If they were, there would be no point in having the show; producers would just pull a name out of a hat, dub him or her the winner, and then introduce Bruno Mars playing his new single eight times in a row. Considering that the whole raison d'etre of the show is to have viewers make a value judgment and then vote, having uncritical judges be unwilling to separate the great from the good (again, being generous here) ruins the point of the show.
Michael Davies, exec producer of Oxygen's critically lauded The Glee Project (in which Ryan Murphy offered refreshingly blunt responses to contestants' performances), agrees that producers "should only put people on if you feel they're amazing." But he believes there need to be escalating stakes, and that involves hard lessons. "People who are good enough week one, as you get into week five and six, have to struggle to grow as much as the amazing people. It's very similar to sports: In order to have winners, you have to have losers. The reality, that most people don't make it, has to ultimately inform the wonderful moments when Kelly Clarkson realizes, live on television, that she's about to become a star." Another veteran producer who's worked on several music competition series adds that it's "a mistake to try and play nice with these talented people. I'm sorry, but these shows have gotten boring. We need the honesty. You have to have authentic reactions."
With all three main network music shows back for new seasons in 2012, there's hope, of course, that producers and judges will realize that there is a middle ground of offering legitimate, interesting feedback in between aping the vicious Simon Cowell of 2002 and grading everyone on a scale of A-plus to A-super-plus. After all, The Glee Project ended up drawing decent ratings in part because viewers were intrigued by Murphy's honesty. Idol producer Nigel Lythgoe still manages to throw out zingers in his other role as judge on So You Think You Can Dance. Perhaps the judging on 2011's music shows fell flat because so many of the players were new to their roles, or found themselves part of new configurations. The Voice mentor Christina Aguilera hinted at such a possibility and telegraphed a possible shift during a news conference for the show earlier this month: "Last year we were finding our own comfort zone. We all were tired of seeing the ... 'pick on somebody just to pick on them' mode," she said. "So this year we actually are diving more into critiquing." And then of course, there's Howard Stern, who joins America's Got Talent this summer: One network reality insider calls Stern "the original truth-teller" and someone with the potential to redefine the honest broker role once played by Cowell. But if Stern suddenly starts telling jugglers and ventriloquists that "you're in it to win it!" we'll know all is lost.

We Must Never Forget: Remembering the Holocaust
#1
Posted 25 May 2009 - 05:51 AM?
I must admit I found the postwar German authors appealing because they had the simplest, most direct style of writing I've ever seen, and German is a language that does not lend itself to a simple, direct style. I suppose a more modern cognizant of that simple, lean style would be Jim McKay's "They're all gone."
So what they were, and we are, trying not to forget is the actions of the World War II German government and people. There are a lot of other things people will try to throw onto this thread. Some of them will stick; some won't. Holocaust deniers can post on another thread I started: "Pseudoscience." Or they can go to the less formal blogosphere. They will be welcome there. People who don't understand why I make that limitation will be answered, briefly. I don't want the "Spacetime" syndrome here.
So, how do survivors (specially those who feel a sense of responsibility) live their lives without starting to deny that those things happened? What do we do to honor people like my German instructor, an Austrian Jewish judge who lost all his family and awoke screaming every night in an American college town in a fleabag hotel where he lived while teaching a bunch of spoiled Middle Class American kids? How do we live with ourselves? How do we atone for the devastation? How do we make sure the world doesn't forget?
And how do stop the continuing resonances of the smaller genocides, all of which are just as morally depraved?

A good reminder of the extent of the Nazi paranoia and depravity is the life and work of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, as Aryan a victim of the Holocaust as you could ever imagine. I'm reading his "Letters From Prison." They are tough to read.
Any help with my informal bibliography? The best list I've found so far is at Facts about Germany: Literature. I think there should be more out there.

That translation isn't quite right. The "ja" adds emphasis, something like "After all, . . ." or "definitely." As you read it, at least substitute, with emphasis on the name of the group, "no" for "not a." The impact is changed.

p.s. There are other errors in the translation. I think I'll let them go for now.

Please, please let me hear stories of the victims and survivors of victims. Is any of you out there a survivor of one of the Nazi camps? Is any of you a descendent of a victim or survivor of one of the camps? Please let your voice be heard here. Are there any stories from other atrocities? If we could make this little corner of this little forum (sorry, Tormod)a repository for people's stories of events others are trying to make the world forget, then we will have moved the world.
The line "We must never forget" from the postwar German authors means most specifically that we must never forget the victims, with the extension that we of German ancestry must never forget our responsibility.
I'm sorry to have given a wrong impression, but this is an illustration of the difficulty of framing so complex and painful a series of events.
Alexander, do you have a personal connection to the Holocaust?
Again, thank you.

So they were staying in Leningrad when it was beseiged, as my great grandmother recalled she came home one night after her work and found the house in ruins. My grandfather just happened to be in the kitchen at the time, the entire house came down, and one of the walls of the kitchen fell on the other, leaving a little triangle of space where my grandfather happened to be at the time of the explosion and he was miraculously alive. They then decided to move out of Leningrad to the surrounding area, so under the cover of night they boarded a barge and fled to Kronstadt under horrible bombardment and constant fire of german artillery. I really don't recall a lot after that, all i remember of the story is that in 1944 my grandmother got a note that in the counterstrike offensive (finally successful) to break the ring around the city in the winter of 44 somewhere around the (very small) town of Senyavino her husband was killed. My grandfather spent considerable effort to find the location where he was burried, unfortunately we still don't know that for sure, though he has found a plaque where our last name was mentioned, really don't know whether that was really him (as i think there were several people with names starting with "A" that fought those front lines most of which were impossible to trace).
On my grandmother's side, she lived in a town (when i say a little town, i really mean a village-like town, with no town center or anything, which is the case for both towns i have mentioned here) near Smolensk, i know that her brothers died in the war, though the history that side of the family i know even less, if i am not mistaken, germans did occupy their town, and i don't recall that side of the story as that was told even less often, infact maybe a couple of bleeps a couple of times, and that was even more years ago, so firstly i was like 10 and that was over 12 years ago. But all through my family history through the time, hunger, cold, fear, not knowing what will happen tomorrow......

Good point Alexander, we must also remember that there were many other terrible times in human history.
My great great great grandfather was born around 1820 and emigrated to Australia (after the Irish Potato Famine) in 1865 with his young family, at the end of the American civil war. He died in 1902.
Some of my Irish relatives still carry their famine designations. When there was a large congregation of families with the same surname in the one area they would add another name to designate which part of the greater family they were from i.e. Cooper, Peeler, Drummer etc.
Thomas Jefferson said words to the effect that our constitutions are for restricting our politicians from becoming our masters instead of being our public servants. When our politicians slip their leashes terrible times happen.

One has to look at this fundamental cause and not just dwell on one of the terrible effects of this common cause. When we dwell on a particular effect we are hoping centralized power learns this particular lesson. But we forget centralized power finds a way to come up with atrocities we have yet to encounter. Nobody would have predicted the holocaust before it happened. But we could have predicted something bad was about to happen due to the power centralizing.
One of the first things that happens is the censor of free speech and the intrusion of government through law and police actions. Next one has to remove those who think for themselves and can't be brain washed. This actions help neutralize opposing points of view and consolidates central power. It is doubtful the majority of Germans in the 1930's came up with the holocaust on their own. Centralized power put the idea in their head to promote its the needs of power and had the iron rod to enforce this point of view.
The founders of the American Constitution saw this reoccurring historical problem and realized the best government is the one that governs least. When government is the servant and not the master, its influence is limited, allowing checks and balances from the alternate points of view of many masters.
Let us go back into time and consider what would have happened if Hitler was not able to censor free speech and put down the opposition with law and force, so power could consolidate. The idea of the holocaust may have come up for debate. This atrocity effect never would have happened, accept on a small scale by a criminal element. With centralized power defining acceptability, it can define criminal as socially acceptable behavior leading to atrocities like the holocaust.

A predictive event was the "Hauptmann von Kopenick" incident: Wilhelm Voigt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The postwar German authors fully believed their offspring would recreate the Holocaust if not prevented. They believed someone diabolical and charismatic would come along eventually to give the orders they would be predestined to follow.
That is why, I think, we should remember the perpetrators as well as the victims. The perpetrators are the ones we need to struggle against, and need to struggle against becoming. After all, we Americans have been known to go blindly into war based on manufactured fear.
We have already forgotten.

We are not talking about wartime events. Kristallnacht was not a by-product of war. The definition of the Holocaust includes the imprisonment of innocent people as early as 1933: Concentration Camps, 1933-1939.
It is too easy for us now to start to develop intellectual arguments about who was right and who was wrong in WWII. There have indeed been some unfortunate results: total-war victors tend to be arrogant. Soldiers who saw what the soldiers entering Germany in 1945 saw had trouble being humane. But that, again, is not a discussion of the Holocaust. That is WWII. The Holocaust, which began earlier, would have been worse if not for WWII.
Thank you for illustrating the danger of forgetting.

What balderdashWhat balderdash?
There is no such thing as genetic guilt.
There has been genocide on a regular basis though Human history. The Germans just did it efficiently keeping detailed records and to a very powerful group/religion.
who mournes for the gypsies and other minorities, the disabled and mentally ill he killed. tThe tousands of young men killed in both wars 1&2 by our insanity. Have you read what happened to German troops at Stalingrad?
What about the
- Spanish and European annihilation of maybe 100 million natives in N and s. America.
- Slavery
- the inquision
- Salem
- The countless thousands of aborigines killed by the British invaders of Australia.
- the Armenians
- The Japanese in China in 1930's
- Pol Pot
- Africa 10 to the power of what 30?
- Russia today with some minorities.
- The Chinese in Tibet.
- N. Korea playing brinkmanship with nuclear weapons
- Israel and the Palestinians?
We need to remember that scratch us all and there is a racist underneath.
We are deigned for group membership and behaviour, protection of that group and rejection of difference. Something we need to re-programme by education and social and economic and legal means.
We are not forgetting the past that is why footballers were sacked and or fined this week in Australia because they made racial slurs in a professional football game. Surely a long used football psychological tactic. Any racism must be nipped in the bud.
Get a life. Individual Germans can't feel solely responsible for the holocaust--that way madness lies. We are all responsible not just the Germans. No, we should never forget, nor should we dwell on it and see it as our own personal racial heritage.

Yes, the Pogroms are often overlooked, and are not in my area of study for that matter. But they are of the same period and possibly of the same racial identity movement. I don't know. The main thing I do know about Russian history is that it is richly textured and often volatile. I have spent too many nights drinking with friends who are experts on Russian history and being corrected pretty much every time I said anything. Without knowing which sources to trust, I won't barge into it.
Any help?
Thanks.

My connection is an odd one. While in elementary and junior high school Wernher von Braun and Willy Ley were heroes to me since I was fascinated with flight, especially Space Flight. In High School this continued and expanded when I began to see WWII through flight technology eyes and held great respect for the ME-262 and other firsts in progressive, even breakthrough aircraft design. As is often the case for the young, possibly even especially young males, looking for a suitable path and view of the world I even wondered if such a black and white approach to the world wasn't correct given such monumental achievements. That sense was short-lived for a couple reasons.
I first read "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" as a sophomore in High School and in the early pages became appalled at how the Treaty of Versaille sought to punish the German people to a degree that seemed like slow murder. For a time I despised the Weimar Republic. I said so to my Father who had fought in WWII and who was horrified by my views.
Then two things happened in quick succession. I got to the second half of the book and began to question what I had concluded in the first half and immediately got "Mein Kampf" from the library. The more I read the more complicated and conflicting it seemed. How was it possible for both greatness and monstrosity to exist in one man? Remember I was young and fairly innocent. It was then that my Father told me that he'd marched into two camps and had seen with his own eyes the bodies stacked like cordwood, the mass graves, those walking skeletons with haunted eyes and the nearby townspeople in abject denial.
It was also then that I learned that while my Grandfather was Irish Catholic, my Grandmother, possibly the single most important person in my life, came from a Jewish family and I was shown the documentation of some 30 distant relatives who had been murdered in camps in 3 countries. Obviously my viewpoint did an "about face!". However it only took a little more History and life experience to realize that all men have both "angels and demons" inside so I never came to blame the German people any more than those Jews that failed to see the writing on the wall and leave. I even learned that the two greatest "justifications" for the Holocaust for Hitler, Himmler and the rest came from the reaction, or lack of it to the Armenian Genocide and, of all things, Darwin! They bent the Theory of Evolution to their own means as Social Determinism so we can't blame Darwin. We can however blame the world community that ignored the Armenian Genocide since that crime was at least as bad as that of the original perpetrators.
So yes we can't forget or let such things slide but there is no benefit after the fact to the blame game. The greatest tool or weapon is education and political involvement, Write a book. Make a film. Write a government official or 10 and express your concern that such things get glossed over, or paid no more than lip service. Write to the Vatican protesting the reinstating of the group of Nazi sympathizers who had previously been excommunicated if you think that is proper. Teach your children and your grand children of what you have experienced as my Father and Grandparents did for me. Just please learn to expurgate the guilt. It is as surely poisonous as Zyklon-B and serves you no good purpose, IMHO.

The basic idea is that a man named Lenny Kravinsky was killed by the mafia in the 1920s and was resurrected as a rat hivemind, the kind where a single mind has several bodies, and is able to spread his influence onto other rats. When the Foundation finally captures all five thousand of him in New York's sewer system, Lenny strikes a deal with them: provide him with (almost) anything he asks for and in return, he'll act as a spy for the SCP Foundation, getting into locations most normal agents cannot access. However, he's been working with other GOIs, doing the same spy work, and even double crossing them. As the man who gunned down Lenny all those years ago said, "Once a rat, always a rat".

Re: SCP idea: Lenny the infectious rat hivemind
I actually love this idea?? I don't see the current Foundation making a deal with him but that's mostly headcanon. Alternatively, this could be presented as an 'archival' SCP from several decades ago
If this doesn't work as a SCP, I think it would make a great genre savvy tale. Lenny the Rats.

I can see the Foundation working with him if they had a way to track where all of his (known) instances are, so that he couldn't escape.
I was also thinking of writing a short story about Lenny's experience as a sentient horde of rats, since it seems like an interesting perspective(s) to write for.

What Might the Mean Girls Characters Be Doing 10 Years Later?
Today marks the tenth anniversary of Mean Girls, and tragically, fetch still isn't in the OED. Yet all these years later, we still care deeply, probably too deeply, about the film's characters (the actor who played Damian just came out ... in a letter to Damian!). A decade later, what do we think our old friends at North Shore High School might be doing with their lives? Grab a drink ticket and step back into that crepe-papered gym, because it's reunion time.
Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan)
Last seen: Sitting with a group that mixes all the cliques — like Ferris Bueller, the Spring Fling Queen is now accepted by sportos, motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wasteoids, dweebies, and dickheads alike.
What she's up to now: Using her math skills and learned kindness, Cady invented low-cost, high-nutrition bars she got donated to rural Africa, calling them Grool, since they are both great and cool; currently on the Ivy lecture circuit and BFFs with Samantha Power.
Regina George (Rachel McAdams)
Last seen: Positively channeling her aggression through lacrosse
What she's up to now: Unsuccessfully sued Stacey London for stealing “Shut up!” when the other person is silent; after realizing how adept she is at manipulating three-way calling, opened her own webcam spy-sex company.
Glen Coco (David Reale)
Last seen: Receiving multiple candy cane grams. You go, Glen Coco!
What he's up to now: An insurance claims adjuster with a large collection of short-sleeve button-down shirts, the highlight of his life remains that moment when he thought four people liked him.
Janis Ian (Lizzy Caplan)
Last seen: Making out with Kevin Gnapoor; working at a Body Shop knockoff
What she's up to now: Long after forming and then ditching the band Army of Skanks while at RISD, she became a renowned performance artist, whom New York Magazine art critic Jerry Saltz called “the American Marina Abramovic.” She is obviously too cool to attend a reunion.
Gretchen Wieners (Lacey Chabert)
Last seen: Lunching with her new clique, the Cool Asians
What she's up to now: Checking in and out of rehab; getting caught in the middle of her insane parents’ fights; starring in a boring Oprah-produced reality show; over-filling her face with injectables; releasing a list of her 36 celebrity sexual conquests.

Affiliate Marketing in 2019 – 3 Tips for Success
At this digital age of social media advertising and content marketing, marketing through affiliate may sound old school. However, it is still one of the strategic sales tools for most companies. In fact, it is expected to be seven billion dollars’ industry by 2020. This type of marketing involves boosting sales of another person’s goods through a network. The promoters get a certain commission once each sale is made. This principle is based on revenue sharing. This essay will provide essential guidance on the conception of affiliate marketing in 2019, and some tips for success to help marketers in heading in the right direction of the industry.
1. Focus on Images, Voice, and Video
Affiliate sales is not all about written content anymore. As an associate marketer, one need to be more creative by getting into videos, images, and voice messaging. The video is becoming more and more popular in online marketing. It is a critical component of link programs. In the past few years, YouTube influence in associate sales has tremendously grown through its thousands of videos. YouTube influencers produce a million views for commodities that they are promoting.
2019 will not be different; one need to invest more in video join marketing. The remarkable development of voice-activated and assisted devices has also seen voice becoming bigger in affiliate marketing. Try and branch out by using images, video, and voice in a bid to get more promotional opportunities and potential affiliates. Use live contents, courses, slideshows, and demos.
2. Use of Reviews and Review Sites
High-quality reviews are still the king in affiliate marketing. Building strong positive reviews as well as review sites remains a top trend in link promotion in 2019. When a potential customer goes about to search for product testimonials or reviews, he or she is an inch away from closing the deal. Generating strong reviews is the push that they need to buy the product.
3. Look Beyond Facebook and Google
Google and Facebook continue to dominate link marketing. One of the best strategies one should focus on is the use of Facebook ads. Most the subsidiary marketers are making use of Facebook ads in an aim of boosting their remarketing campaigns. They have perfectly precise targeting opportunities, and one cannot afford to miss out the chance. Facebook messenger is also giving another way of diversifying affiliate marketing.
However, Facebook and Google are not always welcoming to link marketing. Individuals are moving into other alternative social media platforms due to censorship and privacy concerns as well as lack of satisfaction in their growing power. Platforms such as REAL.VIDEO is becoming more attractive to product niche sales which predicts the direction which combine promotion is taking.
In conclusion, affiliate marketing is here to stay. Although how it is done continue to evolve, it is going nowhere. Listed above are 3 tips for success that are more likely to give prominence in this year. If one did not take advantage of the success tips last year, don’t take chances this time around. Getting to know about these tips will help one adjust your sales strategies on time and give success on affiliate marketing.

Advanced Power Designs is the first to introduce programmable DC power supplies on dual C-Size VXI card formats. Designed specifically for easy integration into new VXI automatic test systems, these state-of-the-art power supplies are fully compliant with all VXI specifications for direct installation into any standard C-Size VXI card cage. They can even be purchased with LABVIEW, LABWINDOWS, CVI or HPVEE Graphical User Interfaces*.
The VXI600 series instruments are single, double, or triple output power supplies on standard dual slot VXI C-Size formats. A single module can provide 600W of continuous output power up to 450VDC and 30 amps, depending on the output stages selected. All outputs are independent and isolated and may be used in parallel for greater flexibility.
The instruments comply with all specifications and standards for VXI instrumentation including power consumption, radiated and conducted EMI and cooling. And because input AC power is supplied into the front of the card via a standard IEC connector, no special backplane power supplies or other modifications to your test station are needed.
The outputs of the VXI600 supplies are designed to be customer selected from a family of available output stages. Output stages provide 200W per output with PARD levels as low as 8m Vrms.
In addition to the graphical users interface software drivers, the VXI600 supplies have been designed with many features which make them ideally suited for complex ATE applications. These features include input power factor correction circuitry, built-in self test and software calibration firmware, output isolation relays and internal 6 1/2 digit read back.
If you have selected the VXIbus as a platform for your next generation ATE system, consider taking full advantage by eliminating antiquated rack-and-stack power supplies sand replacing them with VXI-based equivalents. The end result is a fully integrated test system which is elegant, simple, and cost effective.

Red Dear Close-up
On a recent trip over to the Isle of Skye we stopped off at a car park on the A82 where we often stop to take in the view and stretch our legs, only this time there were a couple of red dear quietly grazing right on the edge of the car park. I’ve walked and cycled all over Scotland but this is definitely the closest I’ve ever got to these beautiful creatures.
Essential Tools, Sofware and Resources
I.
Transferring music from cassette tape to PC with Audacity
I have a huge number of cassette tapes which have been languishing in a box unplayed for some time now. I always knew it was possible to digitise these and I had all the tools, but getting round to actually doing it was another matter. This is a simple run down of what I did. First the tools, if your PC sound card accepts external inputs (most do) then just connect any tape player (or LP player). In my case I used an old Sony Walkman. The software I used was
Audacity, an open source cross platform sound editor. Since Audacity does not encode mp3s I also downloaded the Lame mp3 encoder. I set the preferences under Edit>Preferences to 2-channel stereo and 32 bit float quality, then selected the source to stereo mix and adjusted the input volume to 0.2 to get maximum volume whilst avoiding clipping. With these basic settings all I had to do was insert a tape, hit play, click record in Audacity and leave for 45 minutes (one side of a C90 tape). Now I had to chop the single track into individual song tracks and there’s an easy way to do this with
Audacity using a label track. Place the cursor at the start of a track and select Project>Add Label at Selection (or Ctrl-B). This produces a label track below the two stereo tracks with a red flag at the cursor which you can type the track title next to. Continue doing this for each successive track remembering to cut any long sections of noise between tracks.
Now to export the entire project, select File>Export Multiple, this opens up the dialogue to select the format and location etc. You can then type the artist and album data which will be tagged to each mp3 file and will end up with all the individual mp3 tracks being save in the chosen directory.
Wickerman Festival
Just back from the Wickerman Festival, a sort of laid back early Glastonbury, less commercial sort of affair. There were no real big names playing unless you count the Fun Lovin’ Criminals (who we missed) and the Proclaimers (who sadly we didn’t miss) and the Orb. The highlights for me were the Peat Bog Faeries who were excellent on the main stage and a few good bands who’s names I forget in other tents, especially the acoustic tent. The festival is loosely based around the Wickerman film which is shown on a small outdoor cinema each night and culminates with the burning of a giant Wickerman.
At my age there’s not many places I’d feel comfortable dancing to ‘rave’ music but at this festival it seemed natural and I had a great time dancing with my wife and daughter. Perhaps it’s because your virtually outdoors all the time that makes people less inhibited, or maybe it’s because everyone else is doing the same sort of thing. There were inevitably some characters who went out of their way to give others a good time, I particularly liked the dark Spider Man especially when he was being hoisted aloft the crowd at the main stage. There were also a couple of guys who provided a few photo opportunities dressed as Frank-n-Furter from the Rocky Horror Show, I don’t know how they managed the soft grassy field in those heels.
On the Saturday night we hung around the top of the hill so we could see the Wickerman, we were quite a way from the main stage but unfortunately we could still hear the Proclaimers, fair go to them for building a career on one hit song but I really can’t stand them. At around 23:40 my daughter and I went to the toilet…bad idea, by the time we got out it was wall to wall people gathered to see the Wickerman go up in flames, it was just luck that we managed to bump into my wife again.
The show started with fire juggling with giant poi which was pretty impressive but I had to laugh when two cyclists on burning bikes cycled round the Wickerman in opposite directions, what mad genius came up with that idea? I did notice they got off the bike pretty sharpish after riding round the front of the Wickerman. Then the Wickerman itself went up slowly at first then into a giant running man shaped inferno.
What is it with people an fire, we all seem to be totally fascinated by it and any show involving fire draws a crowd. It was all over pretty quickly though and the night was rounded off by watching some poi jugglers practising and listening to the Axis sound system from London. I think I’ll be back next year.
Shins gig
Got tickets for the Shins gig in Glasgow on Sunday, they were sold out when I found out about the gig but I managed to get a pair on Ebay, paid a bit over the face value but not much. For some reason the venue has been chaged from the ABC to the Barrowlands, I’ve never been to the Barrowlands so don’t know if it’s any good, looking forward to a great gig though.
Not moving to the isles :-(

E’ stato liberato nelle ultime ore l’imprenditore turco rapito a Beirut circa un mese fa da milizie vicine al movimento sciita Hezbollah. Mentre è ancora incerta la sorte dell’altro cittadino turco ostaggio di un gruppo armato sciita nella valle della Beqaa.
—- AGGIORNAMENTO DEL 14 SETTEMBRE 2012 —-
E’ stato liberato la sera del 13 settembre anche l’altro ostaggio turco, Abdel Bassit Aslan. In buone condizioni di salute è tornato in Turchia
—————————————————————-
Lo riferiscono stamani i media libanesi, che precisano che Aydin Tufan Tekin (foto) è stato consegnato ieri notte, sano e salvo, all’ambasciatore turco in Libano dalle forze di sicurezza locali.
Queste ultime avevano condotto nelle ultime 48 ore raid casa per casa senza precedenti nel sud del Libano e nella periferia meridionale di Beirut, tradizionali roccaforti di Hezbollah. Solitamente le forze governative di Beirut non si spingono a condurre azioni nei territori controllati dal movimento sciita armato filo iraniano.
Il 15 agosto scorso, la cosiddetta “ala militare” del clan sciita dei Miqdad, basato a Rueiss nella periferia sud della capitale, aveva rivendicato il rapimento dell’imprenditore turco e una ventina di siriani accusati di esser membri dell’Esercito libero (Esl) che in Siria resiste al regime di Bashar al Assad. Hezbollah sostiene il regime siriano che, a sua volta, accusa Turchia e Paesi arabi del Golfo di sostenere i “terroristi”, termine usato per indicare i ribelli armati dell’Esl.
Sempre a metà agosto, un oscuro gruppo armato, presentatosi come Brigata Mukhtar Thaqafi (condottiero delle origini dell’Islam eletto dalla storiografia sciita a simbolo dell’eroismo contro i soprusi sunniti), aveva invece rapito nella Beqaa Abdel Bassit Aslan, camionista turco. Di lui non si hanno notizie e il quotidiano an Nahar il 12 settembre afferma che sono in corso negoziati tra autorità libanesi e miliziani sciiti.
Dal canto loro, i Miqdad, che hanno smentito ogni legame diretto con Hezbollah, avevano giustificato la loro azione in risposta alla cattura, da parte di sedicenti membri dell’Esl a Damasco, di Hassan Miqdad, membro del clan libanese e presunto cecchino di Hezbollah giunto in Siria a sostegno della repressione del regime.
Nei giorni scorsi, il portavoce del clan Miqdad aveva affermato che l’ostaggio turco era stato ferito da colpi di arma da fuoco durante i raid dell’esercito libanese. Nelle foto mostrate stamani dalla stampa libanese, Tekin appare in buona salute. Nei raid dell’altro ieri le forze governative libanesi avevano già liberato gli ultimi quattro ostaggi siriani rimasti in mano ai Miqdad.
Mentre rimangono ostaggi dei ribelli siriani nella regione di Aleppo dieci libanesi sciiti rapiti a maggio. Per la loro liberazione, l’Esl non chiede danaro ma solo che Hezbollah e il governo libanese di cui il movimento sciita fa parte riconoscano la legittimità della “rivoluzione siriana contro la dittatura di Bashar al Assad”.
Qui sotto, in inglese, il racconto di Tekin all’agenzia ufficiale turca Anadolu, pubblicato poche ore fa:
Aydin Tufan Tekin, a Turkish businessman who was abducted by the Miqdad tribe in Lebanon in mid-August and freed on Tuesday, has said that he did not believe he had been freed until he saw the Turkish ambassador in Beirut.
Businessman Tekin shared on Wednesday his difficult times with Anadolu Agency (AA) while he was heading to Turkey aboard plane after he was released on Tuesday. Stating that he was abducted after he got out of the airport in Beirut, “I took a cab. I was replying my emails when I heard the voice of siren. A car came in front of the cab, and its driver said something. Then I saw a man approaching the cab, with his face masked, holding a gun. I acted on impulse and put my hands up. I thought they were going to rob the driver. They forced me to get on another car, and I saw people holding kalashnikovs. After blindfolding me they took me to a house,” said Tekin.
Tekin stated that the people who kidnapped him, told him several times that they were not going to kill him. “I did not know during those 27 days whether they were going to release me or not. They told me again and again that they were not going to kill me. However, how could you believe it? I was thinking all the time whether I would be freed or not. There were several scenarios for my release. There might be a military operation but it is scary.
Frankly, I was afraid when I heard children playing outside with firecrackers,” said Tekin. Noting that the members of the tribe held him in an ordinary house, “I was forbidden to get close to windows at home. There was no trouble in terms of food. They told me that I was innocent, but they did not have another choice rather than keeping me,” Tekin said. He said that he was spending his time while being held hostage watching television, reading books and newspapers.
Tekin stated that he was not delighted when they told him they were going to release him in two days time. “I asked myself why two days? I did not believe I was already freed until I saw the Turkish ambassador because there were many talks like that earlier. After a couple of days, they said ‘tomorrow, you are going to be a free man’. They told the same thing next morning or noon. Finally they told me that I was going to be free on Tuesday evening,” Tekin said.
Tekin said that the members of the tribe brought a barber to cut his hair. “They also brought my clothes, but I did not want to become so hopeful because it was a huge operation for both sides. I was aware of it. I said ‘yes’. They told me that they had been working to send him on Tuesday evening. Finally, they put me in a car, blindfolded me and drove until the half way of journey like that. Later, they handed me over to the officials of Lebanese army,” said Tekin.
Noting that he was able to talk to his family after tens of days on the phone, “My family was over the moon. My mother, father and sister were delighted. It was very important for me to hear, notice the voice that you know,” said Tekin. “Life is long, it is hard to say anything at the moment. I am not the only person who deals with business in Lebanon region at my company,” said Tekin replying to a question whether he might travel to Lebanon again.

Police say they are getting closer to tracking down the gunman in a triple shooting in Richmond's east end. Among the victims is a young boy.
Wednesday, there were extra patrols outside the Fine Food store on Government Road. Nearly a dozen officers hit the streets to try to solve the case.
Tuesday night, three people were found shot in the store's parking lot. The shooter remains at large. Now, one community group is saying enough is enough.
Flashing lights and crime tape outside the neighborhood convenience store shook the heart of the community.
"Trying to figure out what we can do, because we've got to take some action," said Cheryl Groce-Wright with the Neighborhood Resource Center.
That's where community leaders are talking with police. Throughout the week, children come there to get away from violence.
"We want to be a safe place for them to come and develop positively," Groce-Wright said.
Tuesday night, a boy under the age of 10 was one of three people shot. Employees at the store say they want to cooperate in the investigation.
"We are like family. When we come in, we try to interact with them. They interact with us," said Ali Tahir.
He says the store has turned over surveillance video to detectives in hopes of finding the shooter.
"It's a neighborhood store. Before the incident happened, we had children and everybody walking in and out…I'm sure they weren't really targeting the kid, but why target anywhere around the kid in the first place?" Tahir said.
Customers say they're shocked someone would be so bold.
"If you have a problem with a person, there's a better way to resolve it. Just talk…If you need to, turn yourself in and please watch out for the children," said Cynthia Mines.
The Neighborhood Resource Center wants to see the community unite in stopping crimes and helping police.
"We have to stop being afraid of what's out there. We have to take care of our own, and taking care of our own means speaking up and saying what you know," Groce-Wright said.
She says this area has united lately to clean up the community and revitalize this business corridor and believes this shooting won't set them back.
At the time of the shooting, police were just blocks away and were able to respond within minutes. The three people caught in that gunfire are expected to be ok.

“Well, last year Cleveland’s hot start was done with smoke and mirrors; they were outscored on the season, even when the Tribe was standing in first. That ain’t the case this year, as Cleveland is above average in run scoring and run prevention. The Indians’ offense has been a real juggernaut so far. They are first in the AL in slugging percentage, second in homers, third in on-base percentage, fourth in doubles, triples, and batting average—yeah, they are hitting pretty darn well. In fact, their team OPS+ is a comically high 121.
Strangely, Cleveland ranks just sixth in runs scored, though. It isn’t as bad as it sounds, as there is a tight pack at the top. If you shift to runs per game, the Indians are tied for third in the AL. Still, to date their bats have been at their worst when it matters most, with lousy numbers when batting in close-and-late situations, as well as when the bases are loaded. Odds are that should improve as the year goes on. Then again, they won’t keep a 121 OPS+ all season long.” [Jaffe/Hardball Times]

“When asked to assess the 2013 NBA Draft, one general manager said he liked it just fine. He just wouldn’t want to possess the first or second pick. That particular GM doesn’t need to worry. His team made the playoffs and has no chance of winning Tuesday night’s draft lottery. Everyone else … well, they too may be praying to end the evening with the rally cry of, “We’re No. 3!”
Not that finishing first is a nightmare. You can always trade the pick. Or you can keep it and draft a guy who hasn’t played since February and isn’t expected to take the court again until around Christmas.” [Amico/FSO]

Skip Hire Little Ribston North Yorkshire
Skip Hire Little Ribston North Yorkshire: If you're arranging for clearing out your loft, sprucing up your garden, some home improvements or replacing your kitchen, there's a fair possibility that you're going to be creating quite a lot of waste and rubbish that's going to have to be got rid of. Now, you can put a lot of junk in your car and take it to the closest waste tip in Little Ribston, but this takes time, will likely damage or mess up your vehicle, and it is limited to what you can slip into your boot. The popular solution for most individuals in Little Ribston is to hire a skip, and get all of that junk taken away, recycled and dumped correctly. If you decide that this is the perfect solution for you, then the main task is to identify a trusted company who offer skip hire in Little Ribston, and organize to get a skip delivered to your property.
Guide to Skip Hire: When you have found a satisfactory Little Ribston skip hire company, there are going to be three significant factors that you'll need to make up your mind about: where are you going to site the skip, what size of skip do you need and when do you want it?
Sizes of Skip: You can find many different sizes of skips readily available for rent and the majority of Little Ribston skip hire companies will provide whichever size you require for your waste disposal job, and for most this is a choice between a mini skip (one to two yards/25-35 rubbish bags), a midi skip (three to four yards/35-45 rubbish bags), a standard builders skip (six to eight cubic yards/65-85 black bags), and a large skip (12-14 cubic yards/180-210 rubbish bags). The most popular skip that you often see outside homes in Little Ribston, when they're having refurbishments is the standard builders skip which will hold a respectable quantity of rubbish, without having to overfill it or push boards along the sides to make more space.
The builders skip will be just the job most home improvements, attic clearances, garden clearances and other similar jobs. A decent illustration of an assignment that a builders skip will be suitable for is when you are having a bathroom or kitchen fitted and you need to get rid of all the old unwanted units and fittings, the packing from the new units and fittings and all of the additional waste produced in the work.
Siting the Skip: You're going to need to have the perfect place on your property for siting the skip, a driveway is perfect, or perhaps a piece of lawn that you do not mind causing damage to. If you do not have a driveway or equally suitable area in your garden, you might have to site the skip on the road bordering it, in which case you are probably going to have to get a permit/licence from the local council. Generally, skip hire companies in Little Ribston will be happy to get this permit on your behalf, whilst others may demand that you obtain this yourself. It's much better to use a skip hire firm who'll get the mandatory permit for you, since they know where to apply, what is needed and how to obtain it. Needless to say your best option is to position the skip inside the boundaries of your property, even if you need to take down a couple of fencing panels to fit it in, as this sidesteps the need for permits and all that bother. If you must get a permit yourself, it's quite simple to apply for one on the internet. Skips placed on a main road will need safety lights, traffic cones and reflective markers to warn motorists and other road users, and you might be fined as much as £1000 if you don't do this.
Booking Your Skip: Getting your skip reserved and delivered at the appropriate time is also vital, given that skips are not cheap and skip hire providers in Little Ribston, will only allow you to hang on to the skip for something like 2 weeks, this means you want to avoid your skip laying unused for several days whilst you're hanging around waiting for the builders to turn up. Try to time the delivery of your skip to correspond with the starting day of your project or at best with the day you start producing rubbish. By doing this, you will get the most use out of the skip and minimize the likelihood of the skip hire company hassling you to collect it before you are ready. Once the skip is full up and it's ready to be collected, try to give the skip hire company at least two days notice because they will have to fit it into their no doubt busy schedule.
Filling Your Skip: When filling the skip, you should make sure that this is done properly, try and stack the trash in as snugly as possible. Aside from being less hazardous this will permit you to slot more rubbish in. Be certain that you only put acceptable waste items into the skip since the majority of skip hire firms in Little Ribston, won't let you dump certain sorts of waste materials like fridge/freezers, PC monitors, aerosols, tyres, full paint cans, toxic materials, TV's, gas canisters and plasterboard. Don't over fill your skip as the driver can refuse to take the skip away if he thinks it is unsafe. Skip drivers generally stretch a safety net over the skip prior to loading it up onto the truck, but this is mostly meant to retain light fly-away items, therefore make sure that nothing hazardous and heavy is able to topple from the skip in transit.
Undoubtedly the most crucial thing to do when you are hiring a skip in Little Ribston, is to ensure that you select a skip hire firm who'll dispose of your rubbish responsibly. You, being the source of the waste, are responsible for its disposal, therefore if it's fly-tipped a mile down the road, it's your door that the local authority enforcement officers are going to be knocking on with a huge penalty fine in hand. Skip hire firms in Little Ribston must hold a "waste carriers license", so make sure they have got one of these and that it is bona fide. Apart from this requirement there is hardly any regulation controlling skip hire businesses, therefore it is not as straightforward as it should be finding one that's legitimate and responsible. If a skip hire company has been conducting business for many years in the Little Ribston, North Yorkshire area, it's fairly likely that they are going to be a good choice.
Please note that, as with other services, you might come across rogue traders and cowboys out there who'll just take your hard earned money, take away your trash and take the mick, by fly-tipping it in the nearest Little Ribston lay-by. So, do not use these people, regardless if they are a couple of pounds cheaper than their legitimate counterparts, given it may perhaps cost you a lot more in the end (in the form of local council fines!). This could mean that the cheapest skip hire in Little Ribston is not guaranteed to be the best.
Skip Hire Prices Little Ribston - A Guide: Obviously, as I'm sure you'll realise, skip hire prices vary based on the skip hire firm that you choose, the size of the skip you require and the area of the British Isles in which you need the skip. As an approximate guide a mini skip (2 yard) will cost from about £60 to £120, a midi skip (4 yard) will cost from approximately £85 to £200, a builders skip (8 yard) will cost from around £140 to £300. A permit for locating a skip on a main road will probably cost around £25 (in 2017).

A Community prayer vigil will be held at Community Clubhouse in Crisp County on Sunday, September 14,2014 at 7pm.

Mitchell County - A South Georgia teenager is recovering Tuesday night after an accidental shooting. The boy's brother shot him in Mitchell County.
The teenager was shot at close range in his mouth. Eighteen-year-old Deshon Dewayn Almond was shot with a .22-caliber revolver Saturday evening. He's now out of the hospital.
The brothers were at their Mitchell County home on Baggs Ferry Road, just outside of Camilla. Investigators believe Almond's 16-year-old brother had the revolver in his hand when it went off.
The bullet passed through his lip and busted a tooth in his upper jaw. The bullet broke apart, which may have saved his life.
Of accidental deaths such as drownings, fire and poisoning, gun deaths rank the lowest. According to the National Safety Council, more than 97,000 Americans died from accidental injuries, 600 were caused by firearms. Most deaths were caused by motor vehicle crashes.
The number of fatal gun deaths has drastically decreased across the nation over the past 10 years. In Georgia in 1981 there were 84 deaths. That was down to 18 deaths in 1999.
Part of the decrease has to do with firearm safety. If gun owners know how to handle their weapons and kids are educated, there's less of a chance to get hurt or killed.
American Outdoor Adventures in Lee County is right on target when it comes to gun safety. Worker, Allen Miller, says, "We always go over safety features of the firearm they are purchasing."
The key is to pass it on to kids to avoid curiosity. Miller explains, "If they bring one home they should talk to them (children), show them and even teach them how to use it, that prevents a lot of accidents."
According to the National Rifle Association, there are three main gun safety rules. Number one, keep the gun unloaded until ready to use. Miller adds, "Always assume the firearm is loaded."
Number two, keep your finger off the trigger. Miller says, "That goes back to assuming the gun is loaded, you never put finger on trigger until ready to fire."
Number three, pay attention to where the gun is pointed. Gun Manager, Thomas Haviland, says, "Unloading and loading, keep firearms pointed in safe direction just in case an innocent bystander is around."
American Outdoor Adventures also has free safety brochures, gun safes and gun locks which means there should be no excuse for a accidental shooting.
National Safety Council says firearm safety has been successful. Accidental firearm deaths have been reduced to less than one percent of all accidental deaths in the nation.

The Rhyme ‘Wheels on the Bus’ that takes you on a fun ride
‘Wheels on the bus’ is one of the most popular nursery rhymes and every child must have listened to it at least once. This children’s song is linked to American folk song and it is said that it was written in 1939 by Verna Hills. The children song is still popular worldwide and children love to sing it especially on their bus trips.
Children normally grow up singing the funny and entertaining nursery rhymes and ‘Wheels on the Bus’ is one of them. The melody of this song is attributed to a famous circle-dance song ‘Here we go round Mulberry bush’.
The meaning of the Rhyme:
The Wheels on the Bus rhyme is about wheels of the bus that go round and round. The rhyme is of repetitive nature and is cyclically structured so that it gets more interesting for the children and is easy to learn too. The rhyme then talks about the wipers on the bus that go swish, the horn that goes beep, the door that goes open and shut, and the people that go up and down during the ride. The whole rhyme is based on the bus trip and discusses all the things that happen while the bus is running.
The lesson for kids:
The toddler’s song is meant for fun only and it improves their observation skills. The song is actually inspired by the repetitive actions that happen during the bus ride. Children love to sing along because the repetitive words such as ‘round and round’ and ‘swish swish swish’ make them giggle. There are many videos based on this nursery rhyme which show a yellow bus packed with people who are having a fun ride on the bus. The main purpose of the rhyme is to keep the children entertained and happy during a bus ride.
