If gravity exists quantumly it must take up space, have frequency, velocity, etc. Perhaps gravity is too fine a frquency for detection.
According to general relativity, gravity is an apparent effect of the distortion of space-time.
Both quantum field theory and general relativity describe some of the properties you mentioned:
There are some experiments being performed to detect gravitational waves through gravitational wave detectors. Although the experiments are very difficult due to the minuscule effects expected, the frequencies are not the problem.
Be careful (as the other two answers here are) to distinguish between the speed of DISTURBANCES in the gravitational field, and the 'speed of gravity'.
The former is a well-posed, meaningful thing. The latter is not--the Earth's gravitational field, for instance, is mostly static--we just feel the same ol' gravity all the time. So us Earthlings talking about the 'speed' of Earth's gravity doesn't mean much. Now if a black hole hit the sun, and we started noticing changes in our gravitational field, we'd be able to talk about how quickly the gravitational news of that collision reached us.
The speed of gravitational interactions is well-known, in the classical GR context, but must be the same in a quantum theory of gravity. This speed is c, the speed of light. The hypotethical particle of gravitational interaction is called graviton. It is a massless particle (so it can go at the speed of light) and it should have integer spin (as all bossons, which carries forces).
As for the first question: gravitation is a tensor interaction of rank 2 (for more advanced readers: traceless metric transforms under the (1,1) representation of the Lorentz group. On quantum level this gives spin 2 particles called gravitons). This is really the same thing as with electromagnetism. There you have a vector interaction because field potential $A_{\mu}$ is a vector. (and the same comments can be made about Lorentz group and spin; in particular, photons are spin 1 particles).
It's not really correct to ask for velocity of gravitation and two distinct things can be meant by this:
Now your questions are actually interesting when asked together. Because the answer to the second one (propagation of waves at the speed of light) means that the corresponding particles are massless and this implies that they have number of degrees of freedom smaller by one than what you would originally expect, because longitudinal modes aren't allowed for massless particles. E.g. with electromagnetism, this corresponds to the fact that you get only two polarizations (right- and left-moving).

5 Dead in Fiery Crash in Southern California
BURBANK, Calif. — Five people were killed early Saturday morning after their car spun out and burst into flames in Burbank, trapping people inside, officials said. Hours after the wreck, firefighters were assisting the coroner's office in removing the bodies, which were "burned beyond recognition," from the wreckage for further investigation, Burbank Fire Capt. Peter Hendrickson said. There was one survivor, an 18-year-old woman who managed to crawl out of the burning Nissan and was found by police about 50 yards away from the wreckage when they arrived shortly after 4 a.m. The woman suffered a broken leg and was being treated for non-life threatening injuries at the Los Angeles County Medical Center, Sergeant Darin Ryburn said. He said her father was with her at the hospital. Paramedics reported smelling alcohol on her breath, Fire Battalion Chief Ron Barone said. Authorities don't yet know whether alcohol or drugs played a role in the crash, but speed does appear to be a factor. The car burst into flames after striking a guardrail near an I-5 off-ramp and careened into a freeway pillar behind it. The curving stretch of roadway has a posted 45 mph speed limit, but vehicles often fly off the freeway at speeds closer to 70 mph, and accidents have happened in the area in the past, according to authorities. The survivor was not the driver, but it's unclear if she was wearing a seat belt. She was one of six total people squished into the car, which had only five seatbelts, Ryburn said. Investigators will be conducting an interview with the woman, who they are not currently identifying, to learn more about the accident and how it occurred, Ryburn said. The vehicle was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived. "There was absolutely no possibility of any rescue whatsoever," Barone said. The flames from the fire spread to nearby trees and brush and Barone said they were doused within moments of firefighters' arriving. Lt. Larry Dietz of the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner-Coroner said fingerprints or dental records would be used to identify those killed depending on how badly they were burned. "It was a horrific tragedy for these five individuals that lost their lives, and we're working with the families," Ryburn said. Credit - AP

My husband and I received this at our baby shower and I was excited to try to use it when baby arrived. Our daughter is 4.5 weeks old and LOVES it!!!!!! The past few days she's been getting super fussy and everything we've tried just won't calm her down. My husband put her in this carrier and walked around the apartment and she was the happiest little thing on this planet. My husband said it's easy to put on, it cradles the baby's head well, and really calms her down. I recommend this to any new mom or dad who has a super fussy baby who they want to stop crying. =)
I bought this for my son who is 8 weeks old. I wasn't sure how much he would actually cooperate but he LOVES it. I use it when he's really fussy and I'm trying to get things done around the house or going to the store where I don't want to hassle with his infant carseat... I put him in and he goes right to sleep. It's comfortable and really easy to use. I would recommend this product.
A little tricky to get on but overall a comfortable fit for you and baby. I used this with my newborn and really liked it.
I absolutely love this product and so does my infant daughter. I work from home and being able to go 'hands free' so I can work while still keeping her close is invaluable. I researched a lot of carriers that were much more expensive, but have found the design and value of this product to be unbelievable for the price. I highly recommend it.
the mother to be that i gifted this to seems to think it is ideal...she was very grateful to have it
I bought it for my newborn but found the quality of this product not too good and returned it.
If you can add a few more bucks you can get one better than this one in quality and comfort. Also, try to shop for one that has a waist band kinda support to evenly distribute the weight.
We used this carrier when my son was about a month old. He loved it and he would fall asleep while I go out to do quick errands. Right now my son is 3 months old, he can lift up his head on his own, facing him forward was a challenge because he looked kind of crooked in it. I can face him inward but there's a gap that doesn't support the back of his head/neck. The hub and I were thinking he's a bit too long/tall. It's an easy fix when you add a blanket behind him to fill that gap.
One downside is the side buckle is kind of a pain to buckle and unbuckle.
My baby isn't very old and weighs around 12-13 pounds. If I wear her more than about 30 minutes in this carrier, my back hurts very bad! She seems comfortable though and loves being carried in it while I wash dishes or clean floors. It gets the job done, but if you want to be comfortable and wear your baby for long periods of time, I recommend getting something else.
We had another, more expensive infant carrier passed down to us by my sister-in-law. Our 4 month old absolutely hates it. She can't stay in it 5 seconds before crying.
But this carrier -- she loves it, so it must be comfy. It's also very light and comfortable for us, which makes this product a WINNER!
i have a large bust line and this carrier causes the criss-cross support on the straps to wrap around my neck and cut into me. i never ever use this carrier unless its an emergency (forgot stroller, etc). my son loves it, but i hate it. very uncomfortable.
For the low price, you can't be disappointed in this product. My 2 month old who is of average weight & height for his age is so comfortable in it, that he always falls asleep when we go for our walks/ errands.
I think this is a good buy,especially for the price. One thing the side latch is kind of hard to unlatch. Other than that its a decent product.
I had one before and it was not so easy to use but this one is great, very easy to use and very light . I use it all the time.

uranium-238 1
- Uranium-238 forms about 99.3 per cent of natural uranium. Unlike uranium-235, it is unable to sustain a nuclear chain reaction, making it unsuitable for use in nuclear power or nuclear weapons. However, the isotope plutonium-239, which is fissile, can be produced by bombarding uranium-238 with low-energy neutrons..
1920s; earliest use found in London, Edinburgh and Dublin Philosophical Magazine.
uranium-235 2
1930s; earliest use found in Science News.
uranium 3
sustantivo[mass noun]
- It is not possible, however, to construct weapons directly out of uranium or slightly enriched uranium.
- All countries have uranium, uranium is a very common material around the world.
- It is not certain if the effects are due to the chemical or the radioactive properties of uranium.
Uranium is a chemically reactive metal belonging to the actinide series. Becquerel discovered radioactivity in uranium in 1896, and its capacity to undergo fission led to its use as a source of energy, though the fissile isotope, uranium-235, has to be separated from the more common uranium-238 before it can be used in nuclear weapons. The atom bomb exploded over Hiroshima in 1945 contained uranium-235.
Late 18th century: modern Latin, from Uranus: compare with tellurium.
A rare radioactive metal, uranium is found in the mineral pitchblende. The German chemist Martin Klaproth isolated the metal and called it uranium after the planet Uranus, which the astronomer Sir William Herschel had discovered less than a decade before, in 1781.

I'm sorry but my WP site is being hacked.
I've been through a multitude of 'fixes', most of which, to my mind, I should not have to do.
The measures that I read about to stop this, range from reasonably simple to ridiculously complicated.
I just want to use a simple CMS for my site. I don't want to delve into code / add, remove, modify files / folders.
Now I know hacking has been written about in numerous posts (so don't point me to any more - I've probably read them all) but really?? Is the aim of WordPress to have every casual user jump through these hoops to achieve web site security?
I have a closed user base where accounts can only be created by one admin account.
Somehow, spam accounts are being created. I have no idea how and, to be honest, I don't feel I should have to, in such a renowned & established CM system.
I know it's free. I know it's coded / supported by volunteers but, if the WP home page had a 'cons' list (you may need to do X Y Z to eliminate spam) then I could have made a more considered choice.
I'm sure many potential users would (or have) given up long before me.
I'm doing nothing with WP that PHPBB or Drupal seem to do trouble free.
I'm sorry for the rant but I'm so fed up with the things I'm having to do (as well as the constant internet goose chases) to try and find solutions to problems I don't feel should be there.
My WP install is (and always has been current, my HT access OK, my plugins are up to date. I've changed DB prefix, passwords, usernames etc etc etc etc etc.
Last resort? Full wipe / reinstall? Nope; only the first then move to Drupal

I am wondering how to find the eigenvalues of some sparse matrix in given interval [a, b] by iterative method. To my personal understanding, it is more obvious to use Krylov subspace method to find the extreme eigenvalues rather than the interior ones.
The following strategy is called shift and invert and depends upon two important facts:
Since $A-\frac{a+b}{2}I$ will have shifted the portion of $A$'s spectrum which is close to $\frac{a+b}{2}$ near the origin, the eigenvalues of $A$ near $\frac{a+b}{2}$ will be very large in $(A-\frac{a+b}{2}I)^{-1}$, and so it is reasonable to expect a Krylov algorithm to pick them up.

News Evil and Stupid: This is Our Youth
posted by February 28 at 15:40 PMon
I finally got around to reading this morning's Seattle Times and… man.
Four teens have been charged with rape in the alleged assault of a 16-year-old Bellevue girl last November…. She was returned to her home about three hours after the teens picked her up. Her mother, alarmed at her appearance, took her to Overlake Hospital. An examination determined she had been raped, and police were called, according to court filings.
The girl went to MySpace.com, found profiles for two of the teens and identified them as two of her assailants, according to a police affidavit.
Police got a search warrant for MySpace.com records and found descriptions of the attack. "The messages included details of the assault … and confirmed that four males were involved," Detective Carl Kleinknecht said.
In other messages, two suspects and other recipients exchanged ideas that included possibly killing the girl if she went to police, concocting a cover story and even boasting of the attack.

F*ck you judge! Sabotaging King county council cash orgy
The King County Council, the same group of geniuses that liquidated the Free Ride Area downtown, decided to have a public meeting at Seattle University in order to discuss their plans for the King County Youth Detention Centre. It is no surprise that Seattle University was chosen to host this meeting, given that the school is one of the primary nodes of gentrification in the Central District. The developed area of 12th Avenue near the school has grown considerably over the years and now the council is helping developers extend that area to the edge of the Central District. They got more than they bargained for.

About the test
In 2012-2013 Oklahoma used the Oklahoma Core Curriculum Tests End-of-Instruction (OCCT EOI) exams to test students in high school in several subjects. The OCCT EOI is a high school graduation requirement. The OCCT EOI exams are standards-based tests, which means they measure specific skills defined for each subject by the state of Oklahoma. The goal is for all students to score at or above the satisfactory level on the test.

Legion House Improvement Works
To contribute to the cost of internal changes to the Council Chamber within Legion House to enable additional rooms to be available for hire by local community groups, statutory agencies and businesses. Currently when the large Council Chamber is occupied there is no access to three meeting rooms, the kitchen or upstairs toilets.
The proposal is to build a corridor at one end of the Council Chamber and part way up one side. This will enable all rooms to be accessed. A large storage cupboard would also be built within the Council Chamber to give easier access to the tables and chairs.
When the Town Council bought Legion House in late 2009 it was seen as a community resource that could help address a shortage of reasonably priced rooms for hire in the town centre. Over the past twelve months occupancy has increased by 34% and enquiries for room bookings are increasing. Often organisations only require a room that will hold up to 20 people and these alterations would provide rooms of that size.
Currently only 3 meeting rooms can be hired out, two rooms downstairs and the large Council Chamber, when the Council Chamber is in use the 3 offices that come off the chamber cannot be accessed. Building a corridor would double the number of rooms available for hire by enabling access to these 3 rooms. It would also help the Town Council create a 'hot desking' office that can be hired by the hour by organisations wanting a presence in Ashby, when their main base is elsewhere. For example there has been a recent enquiry for interview facilities for people using a substance misuse service. Bookings would be on an hourly basis and would mean clients didn't need to travel into Coalville for face to face meetings. A 'hot desking' office would be ideal for this scenario.
Regular bookings mean that no upstairs rooms can be hired out on a Wednesday or on most Monday or Thursday evenings. This has led to potential business being turned away.
Improving access to rooms at Legion House will support the Leicestershire Sustainable Communities Strategy priority 'Delivering effective services'. As it is improving the use of an existing resource, ensuring it is available for more people to use and also offers better value for money for the tax payers of Ashby. Currently only 50% of the available rooms can be let, these building alterations will double the number of rooms available. Providing a wider range of options for organisations needing to hire rooms and bringing more people into the building. Offering facilities for organisations to meet with Ashby residents locally, rather than having to travel to larger towns. See below for further information.
Make 3 additional rooms available for hire within Legion House, with kitchen and toilet access.
Preliminary works £381.00
Partition & drylining £3,007.00
Joinery & windows £933.00
Decoration £645.00
Ceiling £1,408.00
Lighting & electrical works £1,436.00
Ashby Town Council contribution £3,000
(subject to budget approval)

Publication Date: October 1, 2006
Stewart Dubinsky knew his father, David, had served in World War II, but had been told very little about his experiences. When he finds, after his father's death, a packet of wartime letters to a former fiancee and learns of David's court-martial, Stewart is driven to uncover the truth about this enigmatic, distant man he never knew.Using military archives, old letters, and David's own notes, he discovers that David, a JAG lawyer, had pursued a maverick U.S. officer in Europe, fallen in love with a beautiful resistance fighter, and fought in the war's deadliest conflicts. In reconstructing the terrible events and agonizing choices his father faced on the battlefield, in the courtroom, and in love, Stewart gains a closer understanding of his father's secret past and of the brutal nature of war itself.

Exactly, that is why I freaked out when I saw the 818. It was 818, then down at the bottom of the FICO thing there is a deal that always says "purchase FICO for 30% off" or something like that.

Hot answers tagged standing-sitting
It is said in name of Rav Chaim Soloveitchik that when we say Elokenu it makes the Zimun into a Davar Shebikedusha. That is the reason why some people stand when they say Elokenu, since according to some the Minhag is to stand during a Davar Shebikedusha. This Minhag is not universal. Sefardim do not stand by Kaddish in many cases.
Leviticus 19:32 מִפְּנֵי שֵׂיבָה תָּקוּם, וְהָדַרְתָּ פְּנֵי זָקֵן Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man The Talmud (Kiddushin 32b) understands this to refer (in addition to the elderly) to any Torah scholar, and so it is codified in Shulchan Arukh (YD 244:1) that one must stand to honor a Torah scholar who ...
Maseches Derech Eretz Zuta Ch. 5 states: "One who is a Talmid Chacham (Torah scholar) should not eat while standing." From the context it is evident that this behavior is considered unrefined. Apparently there would not be anything halachically wrong for a non-scholar to eat while standing, though it's quite understandable why one would want to avoid it. ...
The Talmud (Megillah 21a) relates that from the days of Moshe through those of Rabban Gamliel the Torah was only studied while standing. After Rabban Gamliel's death, "sickness" descended to the world and people began to need to study while seated. It further relates (based on the verse Devarim 5:27) that a teacher should be on equal standing with his ...
I don't know whether he personally did, but he does mention this custom in his siddur, and gives the Zohar as the source. (It states that the seated part of davening corresponds to the shel yad, and the standing part - primarily Shemoneh Esrei, I guess - to the shel rosh.) Dayan Raskin, in his notes to the siddur there, has an extensive discussion of this ...
You can eat in a sukkah standing up (as regards the lawa of sukkot). The word 'sitting' is used to imply a sort of permanence of dwelling, but if one eats in a sukkah while standing he certainly says a bracha and fulfils his mitzva. (See Aruch Hashulchan OC 643:3)
Qitzur Shulhhan Arukh - Yalqut Yosef, Siman 56:11 writes (my translation): מנהג האשכנזים כדעת הרמ''א, לעמוד בשעה שעונים קדיש וברכו, וספרדי שמתפלל עם אשכנזים, נכון שיעמוד גם הוא עמהם בעת אמירת קדיש וברכו, כדי שלא יהיה בכלל יושב בין העומדים. The Ashkenazi custom, per the ReM"A, is to stand when responding to Qaddish and Barekhu. And, as for a ...
Kovetz Bais Aharon V'Yisrael 66 - page 97 says the source for standing at Lecha Dodi is the Tikunei Shabbos which mentions that one should stand Lekovod Shabbos Kodesh while saying the Lecha Dodi. It is also mentioned in Kitzur H'shla. They go on to mention that the Sar Shalom M'Belz said that when Rabbi Shlomo Alkabatz composed the Lecha Dodi he requested ...
The sandak, if a bris takes place in the morning (as per the first custom cited in Shulchan Aruch, Orach Chaim 559:7).
The Chidah in Shu"t Chaim Sha'al 1:71:2 brings down that if one is sitting and holding a sefer Torah and a Rebbe passes by one should not get up. Also, I believe if one sits with a Torah during hakafos it is fine.
I don't have a source for the custom, but I think it's irrelevant. The onus is upon him to show a source that it isn't tznius. Standing for a woman in general certainly isn't a violation of tznius - in fact the Gemara says one is obligated to stand up for the wife of a talmid chacham (Shevuos 30b).
The Mishna Berura (2:11) quoted in the linked article brings from the Shaloh Hakadosh that while not required by the strict letter of the law it is considered "midas chassidus" (pious behavior) to cover one's head while sleeping.
Because the Halacha is that you can sit (and such was the custom in the majority of synagogues in the period of the Rishonim), and everyone in a given place should follow the same custom. (Or Yitzchak 1:53)
I've turned the chair sideways (i.e., the chair back is perpendicular to the table), draped a pillow over the back and leaned my hand over the pillow and the back. Don't use a high-back chair for this. A short chair or folding chair will work fine for this purpose. Another easy solution is just lean your elbow on the table. I have seen a number of ravs I ...
The Yerushalmi (Nazir 9:3) records that the standard way of burying people is with their legs extended and their hands over their hearts. Elsewhere (Kilayim 9:3) it records how R Yirmeya asked to be laid on his side, as if ready to awake and greet the Mashiach, in his grave. The Bavli (BB 74a) describes how the Jews who died while wandering the desert for 40 ...
If one leans against something to the point that if it were removed he would fall it is considered as if he were sitting. Will give you source when I get a moment.

See Halachically Speaking (Volume 4, Issue 12, Page 8) where the author brings that many poskim [see footnote 108 for names] actually say to stand the entire Chuppah. (One reason given is because the Chosson is doing a Mitzvah, so we stand in his honor). Common custom however, is not like that. He then goes on to say: It is customary to stand when the ...
Rav Joseph B. Soloveitchik (quoted in Nefesh Harav page 151-2) was careful to sit during Ashrei of Mincha based on the language of the Rambam Tefilla 9:8. He felt this was not just a permission to sit but a requirement in order to establish (לקבוע) a Tzibbur. The footnote there references an article in Beis Yitzchak (5749 volume 21 page 18) where Rav ...

If I understand him correctly, Igros Moshe (OC4 22, IIRC) says that one may stand during the dibros so as to accord them honor and must do so if the rest of the congregation is doing so but that if he is concerned that that makes it seem like they're the only important part of the tora then he should stand also during the rest of the reading that day. As ...
My Rebbi once told me (if I remember correctly) that we do so because that is essentially what we are saying. "We don't know what to do" (vaanachnu lo neida ma na'aseh), so we try everything we can -- laying, sitting, standing.
The Kitzur Shulchan Aruch in 15:6 states: Some say that one need not stand for Kaddish. However, any Kaddish which catches you standing, like after Hallel, one should [remain] standing until after [responding] Yehei Shmei Rabba. And some say that one should always stand for Kaddish and other Davar SheBiKedusha, since we should learn a Kal ...
It is a dispute in poskim, and there are different customs about which one to follow. Why is this psalm different than all other Psalms? Two reasons, one is that it has a reference to the sacrifice, and when a Kohen brought the sacrifices he was standing (that opinion would also hold to stand while saying the Korbanos that preceded Baruch Sheamar). The ...
The Aderet Rav Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim basing himself on the Gemara in Bava Kama 32b and in Shabbos (119a) implies that the Lecha Dodi should be said while standing. The Gemara says: :רבי ינאי מתעטף וקאי ואמר בואי כלה בואי כלה Rav Yanai was "wrapped and standing saying Come queen Come Queen" Quoted Aderet: ואנו נוהגין לעמוד לעשות דוגמא ...
The simplest thing that I have done in this situation is to pull over a folding chair, and set it perpendicular to the left of my chair. Then I use the back of that chair as my armrest. If you have space for it, this is probably your best option. As a backup, I once turned to my right, so that the table was on my left, and then used the table to lean on. ...
In Ashkenazi Shul the person getting Hagbah.
הרב יוסף דוב סולוביציק was נוהג to do ליפול על פניו for Tachnun even in a place that has no Sefer Torah. So accordingly (according to the "Rav") you would follow the normal procedure for sitting/leaning and covering your face. [ועיי"ש בב"י בשם הרא"ש,ובט"ז סק"ה, ובכף החיים ס"ק מ בזה]
Sit, but do not fall/lean/cover your face on or with your arm. (S.A., O.C., 131, 2) i.e. Say it the way Sefardim say it even when in a Beis Hakneses, even with a Sefer Torah there.
See Igros Moshe OC 4:20 Who says that if one davened shemoneh esrei(on an airplane) in their seat they do not need to daven again and may even lchatchila sit if they will be bothered by standing . She'eris Yosef brings this as a proof for davening by ones seat. See Halichos Shlomo pg 95 who holds one should daven shmoneh esrei sitting down and not in the ...

Udon reviewed in Stuff
Well, it was pleasing to see Udon by The Remarkables receive a favourable review in Stuff along with Thom Conroy and my other Mākaro press buddies. Thanks to the unknown review whoever you may be! I like the description of the book as 'kaleidoscopic ' as that's what I was aiming for.

Fringe Reading
Me with my Punch face on
The reading over at Fringe Bar with Ish Doney and music by Ruth Mundy went well with a great turn-out including many family and friends. I read the poems 'Dear ET', 'Delph, Whit Friday (for my dad), 'Glam', 'Punch' and 'Bus Stop' from Udon by The Remarkables. These last two are especially fun to read as they have their own distinct voices. Mary took this photo. Rohan shot some video which we'll put up sometime on YouTube when I'm less busy.

Hoopla Launch 2016
Ish Doney, me, Helen Jacobs at Scorpio Books. Photo: Mary McCallum
On Saturday Udon by The Remarkables was launched along with Ish Doney's Where the Fish Are and Helen Jacobs' Withstanding at Scorpio Books new shop over on Heresford Street.
Luckily, I managed to get there on time.
I'd flown in well in advanced. On the airport bus to the YMCA on Hereford Street (my favourite place to stay in Christchurch) I saw Scorpio Book on Riccarton Road (which is pumping since the quake) and thought "hey, there's the shop." I knew that the container mall shop had gone and so thought . . . Riccarton's the place.
It was a hot day as I took a nice long walk from Heresford Street, by the hospital, down past Hagley Park and on to Riccarton — stopping off for a bagel on the way.
So I get into the shop at 3PM — the launch is due to kick off at 3.30PM. The shop's busy and there's a flier on the counter with a photo of us three amigos poets.
I got to the counter and announced that was here to read for the launch. That's all very well, I'm told politely. But you're at the wrong shop!
The right shop is on Hereford Street where I'd just come from about 45-50 mins ago. (I like to walk.)
Time to call a cab!
But I got there in time for a wonderful launch with Ish and Helen. I met Ish's family — who had catered a wonderful spread — and poets James Norcliffe, Bernadette Hall, and Jeffrey Paparoa Hollman.
I read the poems 'Dear ET', 'Glam', 'Carnival', 'Tekapo Dark Sky' and got to thank Mary McCallum for Makaro, for having faith in the book and for questioning every word and comma because she cared; William Carden-Horton for his striking illustration and design; Scorpio for hosting the event and Ish and her family for arranging the food and drink.
Memo to self: remember the address.

HOOPLA 2016 from Mākaro Press
The audacious new poetry series HOOPLA, which launches three poets every April, is three years old this year. And with two Christchurch poets in the 2016 line-up it is launching in the freshly opened Scorpio bookstore in Hereford Street.
The series with its bright Faber-like covers has been a hit on the local poetry scene where most poets make their way individually. HOOPLA launches a late-career, mid-career and debut poet at the same time, and is an imprint of Wellington's Mākaro Press.
'The idea,' says publisher Mary McCallum of Mākaro Press, ' is that the poets and their books support each other out in the world: generating a combined energy at events, standing with each other at readings, providing a focus at bookstores. It's a tough world out there for poetry, and so far we've loved the way the HOOPLA poets have worked together in their groups of three, and together as a wider whānau.'
The HOOPLA poets of 2014 and 2015 appeared together at Litcrawl in Wellington last year, in an event which saw them reading as a tag team on the theme of 'love'. And the 2015 trio undertook a Melbourne road trip. There have been award nods too with Jennifer Compton's Mr Clean and The Junkie long-listed for the Ockham prize this year, and Hoopla work selected for Best NZ Poems.
Much-loved Canterbury poet Elaine Jakobsson ( 87) is the late career poet for Hoopla 2016 with her book Withstanding. The theme of the collection is 'age'. Wellingtonian teacher Harvey Molloy is the mid-career poet with Udon by The Remarkables, theme: 'worlds', and the debut poet is Christchurch poet Ish Doney with Where the Fish Grow, theme: 'leaving'. Ish returns from Scotland for the launch.
Previous HOOPLA poets are: (2014) Michael Harlow, Helen Rickerby and Stefanie Lash; (2015) Jennifer Compton, Bryan Walpert and Carolyn McCurdie. The 2016 launch is on Saturday, 16 April, 3.30 pm at Scorpio's Hereford Street store in the BNZ centre, launcher James Norcliffe, with a Wellington launch the next day 17 April at the Fringe bar, Allen St, 4-6pm. The Hoopla series is designed by William Carden-Horton and available through all good bookstores for $25 each.

On Bowie's Death
Upset and saddened to hear of Bowie's death. At least he got Blackstar out in time! He changed my life with his songs. He opened doors to art and made life more exciting. God I am going to miss him.
You live in a tiny village by the Pennines and one day WHAM BAM Art Man comes and shakes you and your friends awake. I cannot even imagine how I would think about poetry without Hunky Dory and Space Oddity. All you need to know about the transformative power of art is in those first three albums. I'm not even sure how to explain how Bowie wired my understanding of sexuality because I was just this kid--but he did; he really did---but over everything else there was this great imaginative power wonder and dread in his music--think of the end of Belway Brothers. That is just so incredible. Such strangeness and awe: that changes you because you feel odd, a little strange yourself, 'out of the ordinary', I guess the word is 'queer' in a very broad encompassing sense. At the same time--totally paradoxically--he was also very English.
In '95 I wrote 'Ziggy '72: A catalogue of LostObjects' for Mike Harvey's Ziggy website. It was a popular piece with many thousands of readers and is quoted in Jim Miller's book Almost Grown: The Rise of Rock.
I started work on a companion piece to 'Ziggy '72' which I then shelved as I moved on to new projects.
Ziggy '72 ends with this sequence which I'll end with here . . .
width of a circle
When we get back, I lie on the bed staring at the ceiling. All I can hear in my head is the song 'Width of a Circle.' What is the width of a circle anyway? That can't be the same as the diameter, or the radius, right? Maybe he's talking about the width of a circular line -- but I already know that lines are connections between points. You mark a circle with a line and suddenly you have a radius, a circumference, and a diameter, but the line has no properties of its own. For to mark a space is to generate properties.
It's late. In the bed across the room, Paul grunts in his sleep. What had he been fighting with dad about today? Had he wet the bed or had I misunderstood the encounter with mum this morning? There was a sadness about my brother that was difficult to fathom. Dad was clearly disappointed with him.
I get up, poke my head through the bedroom curtains and look at the yellow streetlights. Once, perhaps, the world had been magical. There had been gods, elves, myths and places you could hide where the world couldn't find you. You felt that magic when you followed the river from Delph to Uppermill. It was there but hidden, forgotten, like the power of the stone circle in Penrith. Now there were cars, streetlights, schools and factories. Someone had drawn a timetable in the air and had created routines.
xenos: strange
You played the stranger
The one who stands on the threshold
Awaiting our reply
In the hard rock amphitheatre
I crammed in everything to store
yellow skin, beetroot hair, a few
idle remarks to the audience
You pushed the microphone stand
into waves of adulating hands
played the crowd for all we were worth
as all dictators do.
No grave Apollo, you asked:
would you follow the way from outside;
would you become an outsider too?
you were in this song
I had known loneliness -- the quiet walks by the river, the silence of the paper round when all I could hear was the soft crunch of my steps over fresh snow -- but I had yet to feel the loneliness that comes from a feeling of incompleteness. I was a virgin to the notion of romantic love. As 'Five Years' drew to a close, Bowie sang:
I think I saw you in an ice-cream parlour, drinking milk shakes cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine, don't think you knew you were in this song.
And then I was touched by a new feeling. I was alone but now there was the hope that this loneliness might be removed forever by a girlfriend. I was alone but somewhere out there was a girl who would love me and I would love her. Our New Love would be magnificent, monumental, the stuff of legend! Fated to be together for all time, we would live our lives laughing at the world. And all the songs you ever heard were about this one simple truth: you would always be lonely until you found the one you would love at first sight. The one you would love and who would love you. All I had to do was to keep my eyes open for her.
If you can slash your face by wearing the mark of a god, you are still a ghost who ignores the history of the sigil you wear and the debt you owe to the ones you haunt.
If you can put away the masks and puppets to uncover the face of the one you followed, this is still a ghost claiming another's memories as his own.
Star and fan, adult and child: each one haunts the other, neither stands alone. Where is the face of the corpse to be found?
In the telephone box he stands waiting for the call; although the grave is only a cigarette away, still he savours the moment.
The opening line of Bowie's last single "Lazarus': "Look up here, I'm in heaven.'

A Walk on the Moor
Jennifer Compton has chosen 'A Walk on the Moor' for her Tuesday Poem this week.
I'm delighted that Jen's chosen this as it keeps the poem alive—there are already some new readers.
This year we basically wound up the ain Tuesday Poem. It was a controversial decision given that the site had been running for more than five years.
I'm going to keep posting the occasional Tuesday Poems on Notebook – it still uncertain what will Tuesday Poem's place.
I'm going to write the blog in Baskerville for a while. My brother is in love with this typeface.
So my Tuesday Poems this week are three poems by Thérèse Lloyd.

Tuesday Poem: the last post
The Tuesday Poem has finally come to a curtain call. I've had a great time being active in this poetry circle and I've made some great friends on the way. All projects come to end and the decision to wind-up Tuesday Poem just means that another project will spring up in its place. A big thanks to Mary McCallum for starting TP and to all who have edited the site over the many years. Our final composite poem And I know now what I didn't know then by the Tuesday Poets is our last post.

People's Climate March
The march was a great success today. The brass band created a village fare atmosphere. As we entered Civic Square they were playing 'Monty Python's Flying Circus'. All good fun and the sun just shone.

from Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
Later, he'd walked by the open bathroom and heard her talking to herself as she removed her makeup. "I repent nothing," he heard her say to her reflection in the mirror. He'd turned and walked away, but the words stayed with him. Years later in Toronto, on the plywood second storey of the King Lear set, the words clarified the problem. He found he was a man who repented almost everything, regrets crowding in around him like moths to a light. This was actually the main difference between twenty-one and fifty-one, he decided, the sheer volume of regret. He had done some things he wasn't proud of. If Miranda was so unhappy in Hollywood, why hadn't he just taken her away from there? It wouldn't have been difficult. The way he'd dropped Miranda for Elizabeth and Elizabeth for Lydia and let Lydia slip away to someone else. The way he'd let Tyler be taken to the other side of the world. The way he'd spent his entire life chasing after something, money or fame or immortality or all of the above. He didn't really even know his own brother. How many friendships had he neglected until they'd faded out? On the first night of previews, he'd barely made it off the stage. On the second night, he'd arrived on the platform with a strategy. He stared at his crown and ran through a secret list of everything that was good.

NZ Poetry Conference 2016
Sweet Mammalian launch
What an incredible, poetry-filled, literature-rich week I have had. The poetry reading in Christchurch went well and I've added a comment to the post about the reading (as much as for my own memory as anything else—as are all posts on Notebook). I got back to Wellington on Thursday; back to work on Friday and then on Friday night the poetry conference in Wellington started for me around 6PM.
This event was buzzing from the very beginning. Lonnard, Laurice and the convention group kicked off by a challenging, raw, heart-felt performance by Apirana Taylor followed by slam poets Te Kahu Rolleston—who I will endeavour to bring to our school—and slam champion Mohamed Hassan. These are young, vital, exciting oral poets—Slam Poetry is the newest form of oral poetry since hip-hop. I loved it—slam is high energy, theatrical, choreographed in its own way. Courtney Sina Meredith then hopped out of a taxi, came into the National Library, and just blew us away. Such energy.
And then we had Fleur Adcock. What an incredible mix.
I can't recount all of Saturday: the blog would become too boring. I met so many familiar faces; so many new faces. At the end of the day I reckon I must have heard about 90 poems.
As I am leaving the Library, some tells a group the horrible news from Paris. The stupidity of it all. The misery.
In the morning: Karl Stead, Elizabeth Smither, Cilla McQueen: all totally brilliant. All poets I respect and admire.
To be present at the crowded launch of the NZ Poetry Anthology of poem submitted to a competition which I had been given the honour to judge . . . that was wonderful, hearing all those poems aloud, hearing these young poets from the junior section read their entries. What's so great about the NZ Poetry Competition Anthology is the way adults and junior poets are all included within the same work.
In the evening, we hit Litcrawl. I was especially keen to be at the Sweet Mammalian launch because I don't know these guys but I like the previous issues—this is one of the most interesting developments in NZ poetry. Then the packed reading from the Hoopla series: Helen Rickerby, Michael Harlow, Stefanie Lash, Bryan Walpert, Jennifer Compton, Carolyn McCurdie. I got a real buzz when Mary McCallum announced that I would be published in Hoopla next year. In the after party I had a number of good chats and got to meet Doc Drumheller.
Today we had our final readings, and I was on a well-attended panel about judging poetry competition with Tim Jones and Siobhan Harvey and then a cool launch of new books by Heidi North-Bailey and Keith Westwater and then the final reading by Maris O'Rourke, Diana Bridge, Anna Jackson and Marty Smith. It was quite an incredible saturation of poetry and this feeling of being part of this mad group of poetry fiends (and friends). The next conference is in two years and I'm going to go . . . thanks Laurice, thanks Lonnard, thanks Jen, thanks Saradha, thanks Tim, thanks Bill Sutton, thanks all the poets and poet laureates . . . I know this is all a bit rushed but I'm knackered.

Umbrellas of Cherbourg! What an amazing thrill that is! The prettiest film ever made! And the music! I recently watched the companion piece Young Girls of Rochefort and was blown away by that as well. Beyonce can suck it, I'll take Catherine Deneuve any day and twice on Sundays.
Yeah, I'm actually seeing Umbrellas tonight, since I've never ever seen it on film.
For hilarity, see Bosley Crowther's contemporary review in the New York Times.
Boswell was a card. Wrong about Legrand.
Re: Bosley's review.
How is the ending the corniest possible? I can think of a much more pat ending, one that any Hollywood studio would have forced on that film.
varda matured alot over the years. check out "the gleaners" from...2000 or so. so much better than "cleo" IMO.

The Long Way Home: The Chesapeake Diaries (Mass Market Paperbound)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Mariah Stewart presents a captivating contemporary romance novel in the tradition of Robyn Carr, Susan Mallery, and Barbara Freethy.
As the only child of a wealthy investment manager, Ellie Chapman has never known anything besides a life of perfect privilege. But her years of good fortune come to an abrupt end when her father is exposed for swindling billions of dollars from innocent investors in a massive Ponzi scheme. And just like that, Ellie loses everything: money, job, home even her fiance, who's jailed as her father's partner in crime. With no job prospects on the horizon, no cash, and her family name in tatters, Ellie has only one place to go.
Sleepy St. Dennis, Maryland, is hardly where Ellie intends to stay, however. Keeping her identity a secret, she plans to sell the house her late mother left her in the small town and use the proceeds to move on with her life. Unfortunately, her ticket to a new beginning is in dire need of a laundry list of pricey improvements, many of which she ll have to do herself. And until the house on Bay View Road is fit to be sold, the sole place Ellie will be traveling is the hardware store. But as the many charms of St. Dennis not to mention Cameron O Connor, the handsome local contractor who has secrets of his own begin to work their magic, what begins as a lesson in do-it-yourself renovations might just end up as Ellie's very own rejuvenation.

Rice bran oil (RBO) is popular in several countries such as Japan, India, Korea, China and Indonesia as a cooking oil. It has been shown that RBO is an excellent cooking and salad oil due to its high smoke point and delicate flavor. The nutritional qualities and health effects of rice bran oil are also established. RBO is rich in unsaponifiable fraction (unsap), which contains the micronutrients like vitamin E complexes, gamma oryzanol, phytosterols, polyphenols and squalene. However, the high FFA and acetone-insoluble content of RBO made it difficult for processing. Therefore, in recent years, research interest has been growing in RBO processing to obtain good quality oil with low refining loss. This review article deals with detailed reports on RBO processing including membrane-based techniques from the production and quality point of view.

I've set up Samba and winbind, and everything is working fine. I can see all AD users and groups, and corresponding relationships. I've also set up PAM authentication successfully. I have a local user boban, and also AD user with the same username. I've also enabled default domain in winbind directives.
When I reboot host, gui logon dialog appears, and I can log on with user boban either with my local or domain password. But, unlike windows, I can't log on with my domain account right away (I'm getting message about missing logon server, or something in that manner), so I have to wait for couple of seconds. Why? Have domain joining some time delay? In which exactly moment am I joined to domain and which username actually did joining (domain user boban cant add machine to domain)?
When I log on with domain user I can't change password, but when I logon with local user I can, but that is not traversed to AD. How to enable changing password of domain user with simple passwd cmd?

You can't review a movie in a vacuum. In Wes Anderson's idiosyncratic dramedy The Darjeeling Limited, Owen Wilson plays Francis Whitman, a youngish control freak with a badly injured head following a motorcycle mishap that may not have been an accident.
Watching the film, it's impossible to see Wilson's face, practically helmeted with bandages, and not think about the movie star's own recent suicide attempt. Our prior knowledge of the actor shades the way we perceive the role, with the intersection of fact and fiction coming uncomfortably close.
But can you make a movie in a vacuum? The question comes up more and more insistently whenever Anderson releases a new film, most recently The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Critics often use the word "diorama" to describe his meticulous shots and set decorations. Quirky furnishings seem to obsess him as much as absent parents and British pop from the 1960s and '70s, and his ingenious craftsmanship feels increasingly divorced from authentic human experience.
If you'd never seen the films, The Darjeeling Limited would arrive like a refreshing work of comedic abundance and painterly design. In context with Anderson's previous two films, though, it's like he's told the same story three times running, only he set one in a brownstone, one on a boat and the latest on a train. At least this film finds Anderson making a sincere effort to deepen his palette.
You may know that Anderson directed a short companion film to The Darjeeling Limited called "Hotel Chevalier" that's available for free on iTunes. "Hotel Chevalier" was attached to the front of The Darjeeling Limited at film festival and critic's screenings, like the engine hitched to the rest of the train cars. It's not clear whether the choice to separate it was creative or commercial, but given that the short features a Natalie Portman nude scene, it must have been crazy.
If you didn't know that Anderson directed "Hotel Chevalier," you'd figure out in – what, less than a minute? A deadpan young man (Jason Schwartzman) sits with a benumbed expression in a hotel room decorated in shades of yellow so vivid, you can practically see the director holding the swatches. He receives a visit from presumably an old girlfriend (Portman), and their implicit, charged dialogue indicates the strains in their relationship.
If "Hotel Chevalier" sums up the airlessness of Anderson's signature style, the first shots of The Darjeeling Limited crack open a window (and prove that the films should be seen in sequence). From the hotel room's stasis, Anderson switches to edge-of-your-seat motion as a businessman rides a speeding cab through an Indian city's teeming streets. It's an explosion of noise, activity and life. When we see Adrien Brody running for the eponymous train, Anderson switches to slow motion as if to exaggerate The Pianist star's scarecrow frame. With Brody's bent knees and elbows, it's like watching a stick figure sprint.
A first-class sleeper car offers a reunion for the three Whitman brothers – Francis (Wilson), Peter (Brody) and Jack (Schwarztman) – who haven't seen each other since their father's funeral a year ago. Appointing himself the head of the family, Francis gives his brothers typewritten – and laminated – daily itineraries, and insists they treat the trip as a "spiritual journey."
The joke is that the three brothers are about as far removed from spiritual concerns as they can be. They fall back into petty sibling rivalries and argue over whether Peter can borrow Francis' belt while at a sacred tourist attraction. Jack aims to seduce a comely stewardess (Amara Karan). In one of the funniest scenes, they compare the over-the-counter Indian medications they've all purchased for clearly nonmedicinal reasons. Anderson, who co-wrote the script with Schwartzman and Roman Coppola, asserts his flair for cultivating wry, cagey performances and great visual jokes that linger in the memory. At one point, the brothers find themselves put off the train at a middle-of-nowhere depot with a mountain of baggage (a metaphor that becomes too literal by film's end).
But what do Anderson and his writers think of the Whitman brothers as people? We don't know much about them besides their defining quirks. They're implicitly members of the idle rich (their late father was apparently a captain of industry), but they don't seem to do anything in particular. They're mostly the sum of their quirks, like Peter's low-key kleptomania and avoidance of his pregnant wife. Anderson seems less interested in the characters than their costumes, like Jack's plush, yellow Hotel Chevalier bathrobe.
The Whitman brothers' travels run on a parallel track to Anderson's filmmaking style. You can step out of your pampered comfort zone, like Jack's room at the Hotel Chevalier, and go off to a place as exotic and unpredictable as rural India, but you'll still be the same person, with the same strengths and shortcomings. While specializing in stories of arrested development, the director seems like he's having his own issues with growing up. Anderson comes across like a child prodigy with a genius for filling up coloring books with unique shades and hues, but no conception that you can go outside the lines.

I take video on the camera in high definition mode. I then transfer the file to my computer. It takes MTS file format video. When i try to view the video on my computer using VLC I get some video which sticks while the sound plays more or less fine. The video then jumps ahead sporadically. Does anyone have any ideas how I can get to see the video properly
VLC does not support AVCHD fully which is the codec that most consumer HD camcorders record in.
The only solution I know of is to install the K-Lite codec pack which has a good AVCHD codec. This is available on Ninite for easy installation.

Abstract72199S03-I Proton Emission Tomography (PET) is a powerful imaging tool that can provide diagnosis for symptoms of diseases such as Alzheimer¿s, cancer, head trauma, and stroke. The performance of current clinical PET systems is limited by available detector technology. An urgent need exists to improve the PET instrumentation in order to exploit the full potential of this promising technique. This project will investigate a new design of a PET detector module that promises to provide high spatial resolution and high sensitivity at modest cost. Phase I will demonstrate feasibility by construction and evaluating the high resolution, low cost detector module for PET imaging. Commercial Applications and Other Benefits as described by awardee: The proposed detector technology should be very promising for PET and other medical imaging modalities such as single photon emission computed tomography. It will also be applicable in nuclear and high energy physics, astronomy, diffraction, non-destructive studies, safeguards, and bore hole logging.

Skip to comments.Little Barry heads back to school next week
Posted on 02/13/2010 10:35:13 AM PST by opentalk
The Central Jakarta administration will move the controversial "Little Barry" statue from its current location at Taman Menteng in Central Jakarta to state elementary school SDN 01 Menteng next week, an official says.
"We are currently discussing with officials from the school and its alumni association," city spokesman Cucu Ahmad Kurnia told reporters Friday. "We hope the move will happen next week."
US President Barack Obama attended the elementary school for almost two years when he spent part of his childhood in Jakarta.
Erected by the Jakarta-based Friends of Obama Foundation in December last year, the statue, which resembles Obama as a boy, recently sparked wide public criticism for insulting the nation's pride.
Just a few days after the Central Jakarta municipality unveiled the statue at Menteng Park, experts and a group of Facebook users demanded it be dismantled.
On Wednesday, the Central Jakarta District Court held a hearing to try a class action lawsuit by five plaintiffs representing 50,000 members of the "Take down the Barack Obama statue from Menteng Park" group on Facebook.
The five plaintiffs - Heru Nugroho, Protus Tanuhandaru, Daniel Rudi Haryanto, Andes Soesman and FX Agung Bimo Sutedjo - filed the suit against Jakarta governor, Central Jakarta mayor and the Jakarta Parks and Cemeteries Agency, saying the statue didn't deserve a place at the park and should be immediately removed.
Although appreciating the administration's plan to remove the statue, Heru said the group would go ahead with its lawsuit.
"We will only withdraw the lawsuit if the city administration publicly apologizes for its one-sided decision to permit the statue," he told The Jakarta Post.
Hawaiian-born Obama moved to Indonesia at the age of six to live with his mother, Ann Dunham, and Indonesian stepfather Lolo Soetoro.
Obama attended third grade at the school in 1968. He returned to Hawaii at the age of 10 to live with his maternal grandparents.
That's the one that "sorta/kinda/maybe" cinched his parenthood for me.
I don't have it bookmarked.
Thanks, Fred. That's the one.
Or perhaps BO's biographies are just so much smoke and mirrors? Hmm?
To quote someone, maybe bubba or his missus: "I don't recall."
and why have you pinged people to the photo if "all old time freepers" are familiar with it?????
Just trying to help everyone keep up. Occasionally, there are new freepers on the Ping List, and they (and the entire list) are pinged to material other freepers read/saw two years ago. For instance, I've posted the link to the 0bama's Mama's nude photos several times.
About those who are giving you a hard time for being a noob, just ignore them. (Someone called me a noob after I had been here seven years.) Your posting history speaks for you. Actually, I was considering asking if you would help with the Ping List.
Yes, and she always had been. Not a natural born citizen, any more than her half brother is. But she was a citizen at birth under 8 USC 1401
The following shall be nationals and citizens of the United States at birth:
g) a person born outside the geographical limits of the United States and its outlying possessions of parents one of whom is an alien, and the other a citizen of the United States who, prior to the birth of such person, was physically present in the United States or its outlying possessions for a period or periods totaling not less than five years, at least two of which were after attaining the age of fourteen years...
(1986Subsec. (g). Pub. L. 99653 substituted five years, at least two for ten years, at least five.)
Since Maya was born in 1970, well before 1986, the 10/5 rule applied to her situation. But by that time, Stanley Ann satisfied those conditions, although she did not when BO was born (which only matters, for citizenship at birth, if he was born outside the US).
Thanks for the morph, Fred Nerks.
Hennie Pennie, check out #151.
I kept copies of the newspaper announcements of my sons' births.
Betcha at least some of the other families listed with the Obama announcement saved originals, too. If, of course, it's legit.
I think it probably is, but that the report of the birth was from family to the Dept. to Vital Stats, which included private as well as hospital births in the weekly list sent to the newspapers. Which proves nothing, other than Stanley Ann gave birth to a son in the summer of 1961.
In 1961, families went to great lengths to cover for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy. I'm assuming that most folks here are younger than I am. I lived in those more modest times. Even the most socially liberal would not have risked the kind of scandal that Stanley Ann Dunham was posing for her family.
The announcement gives no hint as to the legitimacy of the marriage, whether Barak Sr. was the true father, or place of birth, and it is certainly no proof that Ann and the baby were actually living at the purported address. Knowing what we now know, it fairly reeks of Granny putting a pretty face on a difficult situation.
Just my two cents. But I would like to see the originals on newspulp of those announcements.
I think maybe Pops ( Stanley Dunham)is the father by an unknown black lady.
After he makes a mess of our Economy, picture him living big in another country with large amount of cash.
I don't know if you've noticed, zero tells us nothing in 'Dreams' - everything relating to his past is put into the mouth of others.
Uncle George? Or maybe "Uncle Kahlid" with the funds actually coming from "Uncle Ali", who also was a Sugar Daddy to CAIR.
The African side of the family refer to JR's mom as Anna Toot, or is that what you are saying.....Found it in several places when I was looking for connections between the Obama family and the missionaries in Africa.
Is Barack Obama related to Malcolm X? Looking at features one by one and comparing.
Comparing pictures!
Sorry for the typos in my post. That's what happens when you are typing on one computer and installing Quick Books Pro on a laptop, at the same time.
Dont be so sure about that. Just wait and see. You can rest assured it will never be posted herE or anywhere else. Just wait until 2011. We arent getting him out, forget that. He will not run again and if he does, he will not be reelected. The goOd evidence is in the hands of people that know what to do with it, and no, not people like Orly. Experienced, well known people who know what to to with evidence and know to keep their mouths shut while they build their cases.
Height can go through just one of the parents, from grandparents. Since Stanley Armour was tall, that could be how 0bama got his height.
I am shocked that NO group of American lawyers saw fit to work on this years ago, when it first became apparent that the Libbies were running an ineligible candidate
I don't believe it was known until it was too late. Obamamania was rampant and rabid. I think rather than have the US look like fools, a Constitutional crisis, probably riots, maybe civil war, they decided to let it go and pretend. Probably Pelosi, Reid and many others were involved. It would created a situation that could have been disastrous.
I think Bill and Hillary knew, but by that time it was thought she could not beat McCain. Bill did make that odd statement... "IF Obongo was qualified to be president". I found it very odd at the time, now it makes more sense. That was his little dig, his hint, and the reason Hillary got her position even thought Wookie detests Hillary.
He knows he is going to have to pony up with some docs to run again. As much as Wookie loves the perks of the WH and wants to milk it for all she can, I don't think there is a chance he will run or be elected again. He's history in 2012.
They sure look alike...
She did not need to, under the statute law at the time, Maya was a citizen at birth, because by 1970, Ann had lived in the US for 10 years, 5 of them after her 14th birthday.
As to registering him in two different hospitals, that is not the way it was or is done. Hospitals only register births that occur in their facility. To register a birth not occurring in a hospital, you'd go to the Department of Health office and fill out the same form the hospitals use, but you would not list a hospital. I think the "two hospitals" problem comes from not keeping their lies straight, as to which hospital they were claiming birth in, while the truth may have been "niether".
Even the newspaper birth announcements do not say *where* the birth occurred. Pity that, my home town paper did and does indicate which of the city's hospitals the birth occurred in.
So is Barry.
It was because someone posted it again. You must have asked LucyT to put you on her ping list. She pings to lots of pictures.
You had commented "Amazingly, we suddenly learn." I just wanted to let you know that it wasn't suddenly.
I just noticed your posting to LucyT at #148 saying I was berating you as a noob. I am sorry if I offended you.
Did he call him Pops? Not that I am aware of. I read Dreams, I don't recall him calling him that but it's possible and I just forgot.
I know. At first I thought it was a mistaken referral to Madelyn. I googled "Annie Toot" and did indeed find a few references referring to Anne.
I try to keep in mind these stories are ancedotal and may not be told by the best of historians.
This is what I think. Once they found out they were not going back. They wanted power. With majority they could cover it up. Without majority they would say they thought Obama was vetted previously in Chicago.
Did you read the article?
post# 128 Stanley on the right.
'Dreams From My Father':
Only Malcolm Xs autobiography seemed to offer something different. His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me;
the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, promised a new and uncompromising order, martial
in its discipline, forged through sheer force of will. All the other stuff, the talk of blue-eyed devils and apocalypse, was
incidental to that program, I decided, religious baggage that Malcolm himself seemed to have safely abandoned toward
the end of his life. And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcolms call, one line in the book stayed me. He
spoke of a wish hed once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might
somehow be expunged. I knew that, for Malcolm, that wish would never be incidental. I knew as well that traveling
down the road to self-respect my own white blood would never recede into mere abstraction. I was left to wonder what
else I would be severing if and when I left my mother and my grandparents at some uncharted border.
They do look alike. The person who revealed this story said Malcolm X had a secret son. I cannot find anything on a secret son. FBI followed him everywhere he went and there is no record of any indiscretions that anyone found.
And Malcolm X was against extra marital relations and said to be why he left the Islam group whatever it was called.
He had a white girlfriend early '50s I think. but after they all went to prison they never saw each other again. I think she turned on him from what I read.
Pieces don't fit.
I think he/she was mocking all the misinformation. Like with Maya saying Obama was born in one hospital and then another report saying he was born elsewhere. Two different hospitals?
Am I wrong? I am blonde.
No problem, I'd rather see it a dozen times than miss a new one.
I believe Pops in that poem is FMD.
Only problem with that theory is that zero looks nothing like Obama Snr, there's no evidence that Stanely Ann was EVER in Hawaii, and when the old man died, there was ONLY ONE offspring who could PROVE he was the biological child of Senior.
"U. S. Army finds Malcolm "mentally disqualified for military service;" because of psychopathic personality inadequacies, sexual perversion, psychiatric rejection; is classified 4F."
mmmmmmm,,,This piece seems to fit...
Who on earth is that fat dude next to Mark? I seem to remember knowing at one time.
No idea....not sure I want to find out. ;)
I have always thought FMD was Pops in the poem as well.
The morph is freaky but what's super freaky is they sound just alike as well. There was once a youtube with comparing their intonation, cadence, etc. I'm not saying they're related, but anything is possible with this guy. Perhaps someone knows the link.
Some people are pack rats and never throw away newspapers. Not even old ones. Especially if they detail some significant event. Especially if they're from a place where they honeymooned.
Many people chose Hawai'i as a honeymoon destination. Many saved old newspapers as mementoes.
The newspaper (actual newspaper, now yellowed and fragile pulp by now, likely) may be in someone's attic or garage, tucked away somewhere, forgotten... maybe. But that paper has the real birth announcements in it.
And the old racist Strom Thurmond had a secret black daughter. Seduction can trump principle.

The real question is whether the paths of X and Stanley Ann ever crossed, like the "au pair" summer in Chicago mentioned in O's book.
Frank Marshall Davis Interview
This would explain why he did not go to her when she died of cancer. Also why she left him or why he was taken from her by his grandparents.
mojitojoe's been dropping some hints.
