Peter Steele Tribute Teaser Posted Online
Update: the second teaser trailer, which features clips from all twelve songs on the tribute, is now available at this location.
As was previously announced, Metalunderground.com will be releasing an exclusive tribute album to Peter Steele, who passed away last April. A dozen bands from across the world came together to contribute to the album and honor the icon of doom and gloom. The cover artwork for the tribute, which follows the iconic Type O Negative style and was created by Dan Mitchell of Beneath the Woods studio, has now been revealed and can be viewed below.
To whet the fan's appetites and give a taste of what's to come, a teaser trailer is also now available that showcases clips from two of the cover songs appearing on "All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele." Check out the video below to hear segments from the gothic recreation of "Love You To Death" by Autumns Eyes and the power metal rendition of "I Don't Wanna Be Me" by Auvernia.
Speaking on Peter's influence in the musical world, Argentina based band Auvernia commented, "Type O Negative - and specially Peter Steele as their front man and composer - has been inspirational for us in terms of diversity in music. They were not afraid to experiment, to melt genres such as thrash and goth for the sake of the compositions, that way creating their own trademark. If we also add musicianship, personality and attitude, then you have an icon. That's the legacy we take from Peter Steele and his band, for their heritage is there, within all their music."
The track order has now been finalized for the tribute album, which features bands from such diverse locations as Finland, Taiwan, Norway, Denmark, Spain, and even the U.S.
1. Auvernia - "I Don't Wanna Be Me"
2. Fairytale Abuse - "Black No. 1 (Little Miss Scare-All)"
3. Stabbingback - "Halloween in Heaven"
4. Emancer - "My Girlfriend's Girlfriend"
5. Dead Shape Figure - "Dead Again"
6. Enthrope - "Wolf Moon (Including Zoanthropic Paranoia)"
7. Dark Hound - "Life is Killing Me"
8. A Band of Orcs - "Green Man"
9. In.Verno - "Everything Dies"
10. Blind Greed - "Christian Woman"
11. Revilement - "Sex and Violence"
12. Autumns Eyes - "Love You To Death"
"All For None, None For All: A Tribute To Peter Steele" will be available in digital format through Metalunderground.com for a small fee, required to cover the mechanical licensing fees and transaction costs. Any leftover profits will be donated to charity. Stay tuned for additional details on the release of this multinational tribute to one of metal's fallen legends.

Metalunderground To Release Peter Steele Tribute
Update: The tribute album is now available for download! The teaser trailer and cover artwork for the tribute album are also available at this location.
Last year the musical world was dealt a serious blow when gothic metal titan Peter Steele tragically passed away at the age of 48. While Peter may be gone, his music and his legacy live on, and they continue to inspire musicians around the world.
To honor Peter's memory on the anniversary of his passing, and lead a new generation of metalheads to his music, heavy metal news site Metalunderground.com has teamed up with a dozen underground bands from across the globe to release an exclusive tribute album. The tribute, entitled "All For None, None For All: A Tribute to Peter Steele," was done in collaboration with Dan Mitchell of Beneath The Woods Studio and features twelve stellar cover songs from many stages of Peter's career in both Type O Negative and Carnivore.
The songs covered, which include interpretations running the gamut from depressive rock to power metal to death metal and many stops in-between, are as follows:
Auvernia - "I Don't Wanna Be Me"
Fairytale Abuse - "Black No. 1"
In.verno - "Everything Dies"
Dead Shape Figure - "Dead Again"
Revilement - "Sex and Violence"
Emancer - "Girlfriend's Girlfriend"
A Band of Orcs - "Green Man"
Enthrope - "Wolf Moon"
Stabbingback - "Halloween in Heaven"
Dark Hound – "Life Is Killing Me"
Autumns Eyes – "Love You To Death"
Blind Greed – "Christian Woman"
A final track listing is still being determined.
Discussing his own exposure to Type O Negative, Fairytale Abuse vocalist Simon Pederson explained, "I remember very clearly when one of my friends introduced me to Type O Negative back in the early 90´s. I was quite impressed by the ambiance and melancholia of the music but even more by the depth and character of Peter Steele´s vocals. Since then their albums still regularly find their way to my CD player." Simon then went on to add, "Peter Steele is for us without doubt one of the most significant forefathers within the entire melodic metal genre. So when being asked to deliver a song for his tribute we were doubtless that we had to participate and are honored to do so." More...

TULIA - Tule Lake used to have it all. Built in 1938, the lake's recreation area once attracted as many as 5,000 visitors in a weekend.
Now, the lake is little more than a mud hole after Lake McKenzie redirected its water. All-terrain-vehicle enthusiasts and deer are pretty much its only visitors nowadays.
The city of Tulia wants to change that. But first, it's closing off the lake to all visitors.
"We'll probably fence it off, with future plans of making some sort of wildlife refuge," Tulia City Manager Paula Wilson said Wednesday.
The city council voted Tuesday night to close the city-owned lake to the public until the refuge is realized.
The lake, located about two miles northeast of the city on Farm-to-Market Road 1318, was formed by damming a portion of Tule Creek.
A couple of years ago, the chamber of commerce thought it might be a good idea to restore the area to a wildlife refuge.
"We have that old lake bed out there," said Lana Barnett with the Tulia Chamber of Commerce.
Wilson said the city plans to meet with Texas Parks and Wildlife on Nov. 20 to discuss the city's options.

A Whole Lot of Fun With the Games
The Comedy Group 12 Angry Mascots Thrives by Poking Fun at Sports; Can Brett Favre Order Dinner?
The poster featuring splattered brains was the clear winner. Now, Scott Rogowsky and Neil Janowitz, the founders of the sports comedy group 12 Angry Mascots, were focused on a different task: generating (fake) rejected submissions from a contest they ran asking fans to design a new NFL concussion poster.
It was Wednesday afternoon and they were sitting in the back of a sweltering East Village bar, furiously preparing for the group's two-year anniversary show on Monday at Manhattan's Gotham Comedy Club.
Finalizing the poster skit seemed to be the least of their problems. The guest, New York Knicks player Kelenna Azubuike, had abruptly cancelled. With less than a week to go, there was no replacement, the rest of the cast wasn't finalized, there were multiple skits still to be written, and Mr. Janowitz's dream of a brass pep band on stage remained a dream on their limited show budget.
"We're actually in pretty good shape compared to some past shows," grinned Mr. Janowitz, a 28-year-old editor at ESPN the Magazine.
He is right. Despite the last-minute scrambling, 12 Angry Mascots—New York's only sports-themed sketch comedy group—has never been stronger.
Pro Bowler Tony Richardson of the Jets ultimately agreed to join Chuck Klosterman as the show's featured guests. Meanwhile, the group's online videos have been seen by more than 700,000 viewers, including an eight-webisode series with ESPN the Magazine. Earlier this month, the Mascots' four-video deal with Comedy Central's original content website, atom.com, was extended by two more films.
The group's monthly sketch comedy show has attracted high-profile athletes and personalities including Jets players Darrelle Revis and Jerricho Cotchery, ESPN's Kenny Mayne, ex-Yankee Jeff Nelson and Giants tackle David Diehl, whose skit impersonating Brett Favre unable to decide on a dinner order (Ravioli? Cheeseburger? Was he even hungry?) before breaking down into overwhelmed sobs, went viral, cited everywhere from Sports Illustrated to NBC.
"It was amazing how fast people saw it," said Mr. Diehl, who said he was nervous but excited to try sketch comedy for the first time. "It was a way for me to show a different side of myself besides just a football player."
He was even approached by Mr. Favre after the Giants played the Vikings last year. "What, you don't think I know what I want when I order dinner?" Mr. Diehl remembered him joking. "Obviously he saw it."
He wasn't the only one. Mr. Cotchery, who did theater in college, saw clips of the skit and "I thought it was pretty funny," he said. "So when I had the opportunity to go on there, I felt like it would be fun as well."
Mr. Rogowsky, an intense 25-year-old editor at Topps card company who has a glowering charisma on camera, and the more laid-back Mr. Janowitz, each tried stand-up comedy in New York, but found it a dispiriting experience. For his part, said Mr. Janowitz, it was because all his performances were "terrible."
Mr. Rogowsky had devised the name 12 Angry Mascots years earlier and longed to do an intelligent sports comedy talk show. Though he'd reached out to a number of potential partners, he'd been rebuffed every time.
"The thought of hosting a show by myself was terrifying," he said.
Then he met Mr. Janowitz. "On Craigslist casual encounters," Mr. Janowitz said. (Actually it was through Mr. Rogowsky's mother).
Shortly thereafter, Mr. Rogowsky sent Mr. Janowitz an email. "I've wracked my brain, and I've come to a decision," Mr. Rogowsky wrote in June 2008. "I want you to run a show with me."
He was stunned when Mr. Janowitz quickly agreed.
Two years later, the group has grown to a small team of good-natured, 20-something New Yorkers, male and female, who share in the writing, production and performances, including 28-year-old executive producer Hilary Siegel, who worked on The Daily Show and The Colbert Report.
In the process, the Mascots have carved out a niche in an increasingly crowded sports comedy universe, with smart and absurdist humor that delights in silliness—sports comedy for the Jon Stewart age.
"When you think of sports comedy, you think of blooper reels," Mr. Rogowsky said. "We want to kind of subvert that and take it to the next level."
Their shows are a mix of deadpan humor, skits, interviews and subtle gags.
"We did a pants throw,'' Mr. Janowitz said. "Most of the time, mascots will throw T-shirts. Mascoteers went and threw pants.''
Then there was the time when Mr. Rogowsky's research notes mistakenly listed "drunken chicken dance'' as one of former Knick Chris Duhon's unusual skills.
"He was like, 'What are you talking about?' '' Mr. Rogowsky said, shaking his head.
No chicken dance.
Which brings us back to the lively discussion Wednesday about rejected concussion posters.
"What if it's Obama with a Hitler mustache—Obama wants you to get a concussion," Mr. Rogowsky said. "Obama wants to concuss your family. Don't let him! Don't let Obama concuss America."
The table cracked up. The Obama-in-a-helmet-with-a-Hitler-mustache poster was in. "What does it even mean?" Mr. Rogowsky snorted. "The iconography makes no sense. It's just, he's coming for you!"
That ability to pull in strands beyond sports attracted Tina Santomauro, the development manager for atom.com.
"You don't have to know a lot about sports to get the joke," she said. "That says so much about someone's ability to write comedically."
Though several skits have garnered national attention and starred some of New York's top athletes, the group still struggles to cobble together equipment for its shoots and frequently returns expensive props to stores the next day.
There are other obstacles: With no monthly time slot, it's hard to build an audience. The stumbles of New York's sports teams can derail high-profile guests at the last minute, when athletes worry about appearing too whimsical in the midst of their teams' troubles. Then there are agents and gatekeepers, who sometimes hear ''live show, not televised' and hang up the phone.
" 'There's no appearance fee? There's no money involved? It's not on TV? It's not a magazine? Sorry,' " Mr. Rogowsky says of a typical reaction. "Considering we don't have those carrots to offer, we've done pretty well."
Like most working comics, they have aspirations for something more.
The group is working on a concept for a weekly live TV show that would be structured like a late-night talk show, including skits, guests and a band.
"People always pitch 'The Daily Show' of this genre. The Daily Show of cooking," says Mr. Janowitz. "We never wanted to do that. We wanted to do the Late Show."
But the reality of day jobs, limited equipment and scarce funds have made it difficult to capitalize on all their ideas, let alone finish a pitch for networks. Mr. Rogowsky is ready to invest in cameras and lighting kits, anxious to nudge the group to the next level.
"I don't want to miss these opportunities anymore," Mr. Rogowsky says at the bar, almost to himself.
For once, he is utterly serious.

My rep at the company is quick to see my order through and answer any questions that I have. They are in the US and speak my language literally and figuratively and are there to get me what I need.

New York, NY
Print Globe really bailed us out! We had a customer who slammed us with a difficult project that we couldn't fulfill in house, and our regular vendor was dragging his feet and couldn't even get us a hard price to tell our customer. Print Globe was able to create a solution for us and our customer and delivered on time and without complaints.

Price. Quality. Service. After 37 years in business, I've finally found a vendor who has all three. Wait! I just thought of one more - Variety. Now how can you beat four-out-of-four? I just love it when a printer makes my designs come to life and the client raves when they receive the final product. Thank you, PrintGlobe.

The concentration of zinc, copper, selenium, albumin, and ceruloplasmin in blood plasma and the activity of superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase in erythrocytes were determined in a set of patients with idiopathic scoliosis (n=51). A significant decrease of selenium concentration (0.50±0.16 µmol/L) was found when compared with a control group (0.69±0.07 µmol/L) (p<0.01). The same levels of significance were found out for selenium levels corrected for albumin content. In a group of patients with a curvature over 45° indicated for a surgical correction, the average plasma concentrations of selenium were significantly lower (p<0.05) in comparison with a group of patients with a curvature below 45° treated conservatively.
The GSH-Px activity in erythrocytes was the same in both sets. In comparison with the controls, no significant differences were revealed in all of the other parameters. The detection of the decreased blood plasma concentration of selenium has suggested possible disturbance of well-proportioned distribution and of general optimal availability of selenium in the organism of patients with idiopathic scoliosis with likely effects on the process of synthesis and maturation of collagen affecting the axial skeleton stability.

you are viewing a single comment's thread.
As I stated 2/20 I sold most of my position (85%). I gave my reasons in my 2/20 post. One more thing I failed to mention was that it hit $11 on 1/31, pulled back, then ran to $11 again without penetrating, then again pulled back. That was a double top. I had done most of my selling on 1/31, and did the rest on 2/20 in the morning when it went back above $10. This stock has been very good to me so far, this time and twice last year, but then I'm usually not a real long term stock holder. I've been impressed with SKO's ability to keep from continuing the slide this time after coming back from the $8's yesterday. IMO the market is going to take another dive tomorrow, and SKO will probably be sucked down in the draft. I plan to start edging back in if we see mid $7's. I still own 1100 shares, and I am now losing $3 on those shares. Other stocks I like now are T, LSI, SGI, EXBT, & LU. All are down for me, but not much from my entries, and IMO have good upside potential. Good luck longs!!!!
snugly, although I appreciate your good wishes for longs, I am questioning your analysis of both the market performance today (you said down) and sko being sucked back down to where you want to begin nibbling back in at 7. The market technically (dow) performed excellently yesterday, and will be up today. Sko, has performed solidly, has sss increasing, interest rates coming down, sko is going to make a profit in a difficult year, and over 92+% of all shares are owned by institutions. Review of the charts will also show a strong upward trend, which will be volitile due too small float. So, help me to understand how we could see 7's?

A trio of brothers are moving up the country music charts.
A trio of brothers are moving up the country music charts.
Thinking: anytime a foreign nation that is not considered our ally supports a politician being elected, i take time to find out why and not by simply looking for what i WANT the answer to be. It matters not the party or person. Just sayin, if the leadership of NKorea, China, Iran, Syria, Vietnam, Venezuela, Brazil, Russia, or etc wanted Clinton, Trump, Cruz, Sanders, Obama, or Howdy Duddy to win election I would want to think serious about why. Would you? or would you make excuses?

Curriculum Leader: Mr E. Simpson
Fulford has an enthusiastic, experienced and successful team of two full-time specialist Religious Education teachers, and two part time teachers. The department is well resourced and is housed in large, recently constructed teaching rooms which have interactive white boards and internet access. The department makes a significant contribution to the results of the school both at GCSE and A level as well as contributing to whole school improvement.
The school operates a two week timetable with 25 one hour lessons each week. Students from Year 7 to Year 11 receive a weekly one hour lesson in Religious Education. At Key Stage 3 there are eight classes split into two halves of the year. Each half has one lower ability set, with the rest of the students mixed into the other three sets. In Year 8, each half of the year has one set one, two set twos and one set three. In Year 9, there are two set ones; one set two and one set three.
In Year 7 the students look at issues such as 'What does it mean to be human'? 'What is belief'?', 'Putting Belief and Faith into Practice', 'By What Authority', and there's a new unit this year on 'Prejudice'. There is also a visit to Bradford to study places of worship in preparation for a home learning project.
In Year 8 the students investigate 'What Happens When We Die'? 'Truth', 'Interfaith Relationships', 'Evil and Suffering' and there's a new unit this year called 'Science and Ethics'.
In Year 9 the students start their GCSE course. See Key Stage 4 for more information.
In Year 9 all students begin the brand new Full Course GCSE. They will be doing the AQA Specification A, which includes a study of the beliefs, teachings and practices of both Christianity and Islam. It also includes a component which involves the study of four religious, philosophical and ethical themes. In Year 10, students are studying the WJEC Specification B GCSE course. They study 3 topics in Y10: 'Conflict', 'Is it Fair?' and 'Authority, Religion and State'. There are 2 topics in Y11: 'Medical Issues' and 'Relationships'. Students can decide if they'd like to be entered for the Full Course exam after the mock exam in Year 11 in collaboration with parents and their teacher.
The Religious Education Department also offers A Level Religious Studies. AS Level students are currently studying 'Buddhism' and 'Religion in Contemporary Society' whilst A2 students study 'Contemporary Society' and 'Religion and Human Experience'. There are currently 16 students on the AS course and 11 students on the A2 course. The students have consistently throughout the last 3 years experienced results in line with, or above Allis predictions. The department is keen to keep improving uptake at A level.
Lessons are varied concentrating on contemporary issues within local, national and global societies, using research based activities, worksheets, use of the interactive smart board, DVDs, debating and group work. ICT is used to enhance students learning where possible, for example for researching and presenting information and through ICT software tailored to the course. In Year 12 the students visit Manchester Buddhist Centre and the local hospice in order to reinforce their learning before the AS Buddhism and Contemporary Society exams.
The department has friendly, enthusiastic and committed teachers who are continuing to improve the already high standards of the department.
At KS3 in Year 7 we run an alternative curriculum day to the Bradford's Interfaith Centre to experience cultural and religious differences between two major world religions.
At KS5 in Y12/13 we visit the Buddhist Centre in Manchester to experience Buddhist meditation worship and practice. We also visit the hospice as part of religion and Contemporary Society in which we study euthanasia.

In the 2002 rom-com About a Boy, Hugh Grant plays a well to do bachelor who lives off the royalties of a song his deceased father produced. With no need to work, Will Freeman (Grant) spends most of his time engaged in leisure pursuits: taking bubble baths, playing pool, getting scalp massages and looking for attractive women to rendezvous with. I can relate to the character. Not so much that I spend most of my time taking bubble baths and looking for attractive women (I do this only in moderation) but in that I live alone and have a flexible schedule. Like Freeman (Grant) I feel I need to impose order on my time. There is a scene early on the film where Freeman narrates his "units of time" theory.

Visual Turn II: Teaching to Take Stock
Encounters with art and design by an anthropologist and curious non-expert in visual culture.
Earlier this year I was reading the Internet and came across Duke University Press' list of "Best books of 2014". Scrolling through, I was held by the title Syllabus: Notes from An Accidental Professor. Cartoonist and author Lynda Barry's work Syllabus is not easy to pigeonhole into a genre. It is one part how-to manual, two parts graphic novel and a dash of memoir. Its form mimics the inexpensive composition books she asks her students to work in for the semester. Drawn in by her use of images (pardon the pun) I ordered a copy. Continue reading
Ask A Mind: Is Studying Witchcraft `Useful' for Development?
Can anthropologists combine research on witchcraft with research on development? Why are some topics considered more relevant to understanding development issues than others? This post is a response to a question from a reader considering doing a research project in anthropology. It provides an overview of some recent work on witchcraft by anthropologists mostly working in Africa. Continue reading
Why I like typewriters
This is my last post as a guest blogger for Savage Minds. I have enjoyed this experience of connecting with so many anthropologists. I want to thank the Savage Minds team for giving me this opportunity to discuss ethnographic writing, and to everyone who offered their thoughts and comments on my posts. Since this is my final contribution, I thought I would end on a personal note and share a short homage to typewriters.
As you may have noticed, many images of old typewriters accompanied my posts on writing this month. These photos are not culled from the Internet, but are pictures of my own growing collection of European manual typewriters, which I now use to write my fieldnotes and my first drafts. I am not a luddite, nor am I paranoid about the NSA reading my fieldnotes. And although I am old enough to have written many early college papers on a typewriter, my trusty Smith Corona was an electric model. I switched to a basic word processor, and eventually to a personal computer as soon as I could afford one. Writing on a manual typewriter is a newly acquired preference.
Over twenty years after I retired my electric Smith Corona, my partner surprised me with a vintage Skywriter as a birthday present. The Skywriter hails from the 1950s and was Smith Corona's attempt at a portable machine that itinerant writers could use on airplanes. Last spring, I began writing research notes, letters, and first drafts of my work on that typewriter, mostly because I loved the clack of the keys, and the fact that email, social media, and the lures of the World Wide Web couldn't distract me while I worked.
Ethnographers as Writers: Write First Drafts in One Go
Many doctoral students fail to earn their PhDs because they never finish their dissertations. They complete their coursework, pass their qualifying exams, and do all of their research, but writing the thesis proves an insurmountable barrier. Why does the dissertation present such a challenge? Because students can't push past the first chapter. Too many dissertators start with their introduction and find that they have nothing to say. Or they realize they have no idea what they are trying to introduce.
In Anne Lamott's brilliant book, Bird by Bird: Some Instructions on Writing and Life, the author advises all would be writers to embrace what she calls the "sh*tty first draft" (SFD). Decide what you're going to write, and then write it straight through without stopping. If you need an article, spend some time thinking of an abstract that captures the essence of your argument and the data you have to substantiate it. You can take a few days to put together a really good abstract. Once you have it, use it as you introductory paragraph and start writing.
Keep putting words on the page until you reach what you think will be the end. Never go back and read what you have already written. This may seem difficult, but you can learn to let your thoughts flow. If you find yourself stuck at a section or in need of a particular fact or reference not at hand, leave placeholders in your text. Phrases like "insert quote here" or "discuss relevant studies here" litter my first drafts. If I need to stop working for the day, I always type the letters "XXX" in my electronic document. When I come back to the file, I open the document and search for the "XXX," thus bypassing the text I've previously written.
Ethnographers as Writers: Consider Endnotes
Most students and scholars learn the disciplinary conventions regarding citation and never think about them again. But citation practices vary widely both between and within disciplines, and once you're past the dissertation, you have far more flexibility in choosing your own citation style than you think. To be sure, academic journals have their own house styles for articles. The 2009 style guide for all journals of the American Anthropological Association states: "All references must be cited in author-date form; all author-date citations must be referenced," and the guide provides detailed instructions for how to use the author-date format for e-mails, websites, brochures, and other eclectic materials.
But where did these conventions originate and how did they come to anthropology? The standard of in-text author-date citation derives from something called the "Harvard style," which originated in the field of zoology. In 1881, the zoologist Edward Laurens Mark published an important paper on the garden slug wherein he included the first parenthetical author-date citation. This system spread out from zoology to other natural sciences where the author's name and the date of the publication are the two most important pieces of information. Prior to Mark's invention of the author-date referencing system, footnotes were sprinkled randomly throughout the text and signaled by asterisks and other printer's marks. The author-date system streamlined citations and favored brevity and clarity.
Ethnographers as Writers: Theory and Data – Part II
So I'm staring at some fieldnotes and trying to sort out the best way to blend my theoretical analysis with my ethnographic data. Where to start? How to find the right balance? Once again, I decided to contact fellow ethnographers to gather insights about their writing processes. Sociologist Olga Shevchenko also struggles with what parts of her fieldnotes to include:
I almost never know in advance which parts of the field notes will go into the text, because it takes me some time, and a lot of writing, to figure out what it is exactly that I am going to argue! With interviews, it's different. There are some turns of phrase that seem to leap off the page, and these are usually those that capture experience in a fresh or complex way. I also tend to notice when a turn of phase, or a metaphor emerges more than once. When I heard a third person compare their everyday life with living on a volcano, I knew it was going to be in the book in a major way. But it also got me thinking about what this metaphor accomplished, which sent me right back to the field notes. When I can't find a place in the text for an evocative image or turn of phrase that I hear from a respondent, this causes me great torments!
Like Olga, I now spend a lot of time reading my fieldnotes and deciding what material I want to include before I figure out my core argument, a process sometimes called "grounded theory," a way of incorporating theoretical insights that emerge organically from the fieldwork. I also search for great quotes or turns of phrase that capture something about the everyday experience of my informants.
Ethnographers as Writers: Theory and Data – Part I
Every ethnographer must find a balance between theory and data. Our fieldwork and our specific case studies render our work original, but this work fails to be scholarly if it lacks dialogue with larger theoretical concerns. When writing the dissertation the literature review section remains de rigueur, but most acquisitions editors demand that this section be exorcised from the eventual book manuscript. This means that the theoretical insights inspired by your participant observation must somehow be woven into the final text so as to elucidate your original ideas without burying the reader under an avalanche of information about what other scholars, studying other cases, have said before you.
The task of integrating theory proves difficult for even the most experienced ethnographers, and different scholars maintain varying opinions on its importance. In a 1999 article, anthropologist Ruth Behar argues that theory for theory's sake undermines the potential vibrancy of ethnographic writing:
What I do find tiresome is the habit of using whatever theory happens to be fashionable…as a substitute for really engaging the tough questions posed by those whom we encounter on our journeys as ethnographers. When ethnographers working in far corners of the globe are all citing the same two pages from the work of the latest trendy theorist, without reflecting on the politics of how that theory travels, you can be sure they have killed the life in their ethnography.
Ethnographers as Writers: Getting Started
Every article, book, or thesis begins with a first word, but getting started feels overwhelming. My worst prose derives from disorganized thinking and writing, and over the years I've experimented with different systems to help me get my projects off the ground. When I map out some incremental steps, my projects seem more manageable.
First I ask myself: what do I want (or need) to write? This helps determine the best format for my research results. In some cases the format was predetermined for me – when I was a doctoral student I had to produce a dissertation of a certain minimum length. When I write for a journal, they enforce specific word counts. These days, I have a bit more freedom, but I still struggle to determine if I have a book length argument or if my research is best presented as a series of articles.
Before I write the first sentence, I try to visualize the contours of my project. I once typed up outlines, but now I imagine less formal ways to physically manifest a project. At the outset, I spend hours examining my research, beginning to define the distinct sections or chapters. I need a concrete guide that will help me tackle the writing tasks necessary to get from the first to the last word of the project.
Ethnographers as Writers: An Introduction
[Savage Minds welcomes guest blogger Kristen Ghodsee.]
I am thrilled for the opportunity to write as a Savage Minds guest blogger for this first month of 2015. One of my New Year's resolutions is to become a better writer, and I've spent a lot of time over the last few months poring through style guides and manuals trying to learn the writer's craft. This is not because I am writing my first book. Unfortunately, I am almost five books into my career, and only now do I feel compelled to improve my prose. As an ethnographer, I privileged the message over the medium.
I've taught ethnographies for thirteen years, and at the end of each semester, I survey student opinions of the required books on my syllabi. "Reading [this book] was like being forced to read Facebook's terms and conditions for class," a student wrote about one of the texts I assigned. The book in question suited the course subject, and contained field-changing theoretical insights. As a piece of scholarship, the book excelled, winning a major award from a large professional society. As a piece of writing, however, the book failed. My students judged the prose opaque, circular, jargon-laden, and gratuitously verbose. I agreed. I prepared a lecture on the core arguments, and spared my students the headaches induced by needless erudition.
University students, especially at the undergraduate level, despise inaccessible books that use language to obfuscate rather than clarify. I have purged many a smart ethnography from my syllabi after watching students struggle to extract the main arguments from a fog of impenetrable prose. Each year, I explore university press offerings to find well-written ethnographies. The continued production of un-teachable books amazes me.
Paperpile (Tools We Use)
About a year ago I wrote a long post that discussed both my general approach to working with academic PDFs as well as the specific Apple (OS X/iOS) software I use to manage my own workflow: Sente. I still consider Sente to be a kind of gold standard for reference management software, but there are a couple of things about it that lead me to regularly check out the competition. One is that it only works on Apple products and many of my students are Windows users. The other is that, even on the Mac, it does not work within the web browser itself, but forces you to launch the app and use its own built-in web browser, which always interrupts my workflow. In my last post I mentioned a few other issues and briefly surveyed the competition; however my current work environment has me on a Windows 7 computer and so I decided to look again at the competition, especially cross-platform solutions. The first one I discovered is ReadCube but I found it just didn't meet my needs. It didn't do a very good job getting citation information (I had lots of errors in my metadata) and the iPad app was too limited for my needs. However, another service turned out to be more promising: Paperpile, and I thought I'd write a short post about how I'm using that.
Getting a Job in the Academy: Some Thoughts From the Other Side
This post isn't just another lament about the sorry state of the job situation in the academy. The US is undoubtedly undergoing a crisis on that front, accentuated by the huge increase in the numbers of people completing PhDs in liberal arts subjects and the scale of student debt. The effects of this crisis spill over into what is now a global market in academic jobs. This is clearly evident in the UK where the numbers of applicants for academic posts in anthropology frequently reach well over one hundred, compared to perhaps fifty or sixty only a decade previously.
The problem is partly structural- the mismatch between numbers and posts on the one hand, and the impacts of selective shrinkage in the University sector on the other. But demand is also a factor. People continue to study at graduate level because they are motivated by research as much as anything. Doctoral study isn't only about entry into formal academic employment, in any discipline. And, while the casualization of higher education is a concerning trend, in the US and beyond, it's not the only issue. It's hard to imagine under what economic system there could ever be sufficient secure jobs in the university sector for those with higher degrees at a time when it seems that more people than ever are pursuing postgraduate research.
This doesn't mean giving up and not trying to get a university post, if that's what you really want. But it does entail a healthy dose of realism combined with the practical career building tips of the sort offered so eloquently by Karen Kelsky aka The Professorisin whose site I wholeheartedly recommend. Having been on the other side of the job process over the past year, as a search committee member and chair of a department, I'm going to offer a few of my own. The first is optimistic, if you are an anthropologist at least.
Writing Badly, Speaking Better. Practical Books for Doing the Life of the Mind
Rex's post on back to school books got me thinking. `Doing the life of the mind', as he puts it, involves lots of different activities. Its not just reading and writing. Talking is a big part of what we do. And to different audiences, or not , as the case may be. Much of the way that we do our academic presentations gets in the way of wider communication. This might be intentional. In reinforcing the walls of the silos in which we like to situate our knowledge it fosters the aura of complexity and exclusivity which in our social universe renders academic knowledge credible.
A recent book addresses this phenomenon as it applies to writing in the social sciences and, by extension, to anthropology. Learn to Write Badly . How to Succeed in the Social Sciences by Michael Billig is not a 'How To' book. Its a `How Not To' book. But, as the author makes plain, if you don't write in the way which has become authoritative in your field, even if it entails writing badly, there could be consequences for your reputation if not your career.
Although Billig's is a book about writing I think that the author's claims work pretty well for communication in the social sciences more generally. It certainly made me think about how we as anthropologists in academia tend to speak to our audiences whether they are our students or our peers. The formal style of academic presentations in anthropology based on writing rather than on `findings' prioritizes engagement with other writing over and above engagement with either our audience or our informants. This is quite different to communication in other fields, within and outside academia. A how to book which you may find useful for engaging with these other fields is Carmine Gallo's Talk like TED summarized neatly here by Sam Leith of the Financial Times .
Sure, it's a manual in self promotion (but lets not kid ourselves that academia is any different). But it also has lots of useful tips about connecting with the audience, making a few key points and giving them something to remember. And I learned something wholly new, useful and unexpected. That if you press the B or W keys in powerpoint you can suspend the presentation so your audience is focusing on you not the slide until you are ready to show them the next one. Despite the acknowledged allure of intellectual posturing sometimes you just cant beat useful practicality.
The Ethnographic "Shooting Ratio"
One of the questions I get asked most often by graduate students doing ethnographic research is about how much data they need to collect. I think this is especially troublesome for those who are doing fieldwork somewhere far away, where limited time and funds mean that they will unlikely be able to make a return trip after they return from the field. But even those doing research closer to home want to know "How much is enough?" In answering this question I draw on my experience as a documentary filmmaker.
A "shooting ratio" is "the ratio between the total duration of its footage created for possible use in a project and that which appears in its final cut." For a Hollywood film, where the scenes are planned in advance, this might be four to one. That is, shooting four hours of footage for every hour of the final film. Now that films have largely gone digital, producers no longer need to worry about the cost of expensive film stock, but it still costs a lot to have actors and crew out for a day and nobody wants to waste too much time shooting the same scene over and over again.
For documentary films, however, it is different. Continue reading

Instead of an expensive monitor use your Android phone or tablet
A little while ago we looked at using an Android phone with a DSLR and how the experience was actually pretty good. Using the Chainfire app with a Canon DSLR opens up a world of possibilities. Before we looked at importing your DSLR photos, but there's more to it than that. With a cheap accessory on top of this you can actually create a low-cost, yet still effective external monitor for your camera.

Has a file system been developed that is completely safe from power failure based corruption? If we assume critical data is being stored without a UPS and performance is irrelevant, does file system exist that is completely incorruptible from a power failure?
Not really. There are several things you can do to mitigate risk, though.
As has already been answered, a journaled file system is the nearest, although it cannot be guaranteed. It's just like a journaled database system. There are moments, brief though they may be where the data is still in a transaction but has not yet been fully written to the journal. The damage in such a case might be extremely minimal but if that happens to be the one really critical bit you're still up the proverbial creek.
Reality: Despite the best efforts of some really great developers we still suffer file system corruption from power drops.
ZFS is definently what you are looking for.
There are many ways it prevents data corruption. The most significative example is it only commits data that has been fully written to disk. This should prevent most, if not all, data corruption.
Another way it does this is checksumming, it checks that the data written to disk is correct. This will help in case of power failure when only part of the data gets written to disk.
Also, battery backed RAID cards are really a no-brainer...
Nothing is going to be 100% safe from having the power dropped out from under it. You best bet is to use a journaling file system (e.g. EXT3 or new revisions of NTFS) with the disks hosted on a battery backed RAID controller (the battery is on the RAID controller). The batter backed RAID controller will allow the card to write out what is in cache before it's too late.
Depending on your usage you might consider a read only filesystem with changes only stored in memory. If power is lost disk state is simply restored back to your original good image. Ideal for things like kiosks/web terminals or processing style servers working on data from a network source.
For the benefit of others interested, after writing this question I have come across two on the market solutions for a viable power safe file system. Both use the copy-on-write principle. (Interestingly they were surprisingly hard to find). They are:
Another option to consider is a true transactional file system, such as Datalight Reliance or Reliance Nitro. Unlike a journaling file system as recommended in other posts which protects file system structures, a true transactional file system protects both user data and file system structures from corruption due to power loss. Also, Reliance and Reliance Nitro do not suffer from non-deterministic start up times after a power failure caused by a journal replay requirement.
Both Reliance-family file systems can be used with any storage media: HDD, SSD,CF cards, NOR flash, NAND flash, etc.

Sharpe Seminars
Fall 2016 Course Descriptions
SOC150W: Communities and Neighborhoods: Class, Race, and Space (Dr. David Aday)
This seminar will focus on lived experiences of disparity, seen from the perspective of neighborhoods and communities through ethnographic methods. We will read original studies of selected neighborhoods and communities in the U.S. and in other countries. We will focus on disparities in health and health care and in access to other resources needed to survive and thrive. Among other sources, we will read Venkatesh, S. A. (2006). Off the books. Harvard University Press; Gregory, S. (2006). The devil behind the mirror: Globalization and politics in the Dominican Republic. Univ of California Press; and, likely, one of the Elijah Anderson books.
Students will be introduced to theories, concepts, and methods for community-engaged research and community based participatory research (CBPR) by considering how they might take on aspects of issues described in the ethnographic studies. They will work individually or in small groups to imagine, design, and propose community-engaged research focused on disparities in health, employment, housing, education, or security (crime). Students (individually or in small groups) will be responsible for developing, writing, and defending final proposals for community-engaged research.
INTR150W: Living with the Environment (Dr. Dennis Taylor)
The seminar Living With the Environment builds a broader conceptualization of community interests through establishment of the ethical and moral underpinnings of the human place in nature, and the teaching of practical knowledge needed for both policy-making and scientific understanding directed at solutions that build strong environmentally grounded communities where humans can benefit from the natural capital of their surroundings. Student projects are focused and issue driven, intended to provide direct practical benefits for community partners, opportunities for expanded scope and diversification, and to act as vehicles for teaching important principles and concepts applicable to the problem of human impacts on natural systems. Restricted to Sharpe Scholars.
COLL 150/HIST 150/GSWS 150 LGBTIQ US History: An Introduction (Dr. Leisa Meyer)
We will explore the field of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer (LGBTIQ) Studies and its relationship to both the lives of LGBTIQ people and society more broadly. Using interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate race, class, gender, and nation as analytical categories alongside sexuality, we will look at the tools LGBTIQ studies offers for understanding power and culture and the LGBTIQ communities in the Commonwealth.
Students will investigate indigenous myth-histories and traditions as a means of conceptualizing the issues facing "borderland" communities—spaces of wounded bodies and psyches or outer terrains as the site where inner struggles are played out. Historic and current borderland communities of consideration include but are not limited to Watts, Newark, Trenton, Chicago, New Orleans, Detroit, Ferguson, and Baltimore. Students willdevelop internally driven, holistic, political and spiritual theories of social justice and apply such theories as a methodology for understanding and solving contemporary social issues, challenging unjust social structures, or to bring about material change.
INTR 150W: Health Disparities (Dr. Monica Griffin)
Health Disparities supports Sharpe Scholars' development toward community-based participatory research that examines and actively engages the issue of health disparities in the U.S health care system and globally. Class readings and discussions will focus on solutions for promoting health equity, such as cultural competency, advocacy, and social justice. Students will become involved with communities and organizations in order to explore the role of culture, socioeconomic status, health literacy, and social and community networks in sustaining and diminishing health disparities.

Ahmed Rashid: The Pentagon Echoes with the Hubris of VietnamRoundup: Media's Take
The writer's latest book is Pakistan on the Brink: The Future of America, Pakistan and Afghanistan.
The difference one year makes. A year ago America was celebrating the death of Osama bin Laden and Barack Obama had earned his spurs as a martial president. Now, as the endgame approaches and the US and Nato prepare to withdraw from Afghanistan in 2014, the situation there has deteriorated rapidly.
What is clear is that the US needs to devote all its resources and strategic will to ending the war through the year-long talks with the Taliban, before US forces withdraw in 2014. And yet, increasingly, feuding in the Obama administration has become the main obstacle to progress in such negotiations.
The Pentagon's insistence on fighting robustly even as the endgame unfolds precludes what Mr Obama himself has called for – the talks. Much of this should be put down to the hubris of the US military, which at the back of its mind still believes there are battles, if not a war, to be won; Taliban to be killed; and at least some success to be gained. They are wrong...

text: Posted October 22, 2012 Again, I feel bad for Hurney. He wasn't great, especially since 09. But, prior to that, it could be argued that he was. My problem with the move is that it serves no purpose for the time being. This was the wrong guy to fire if you wanted to make a statement. Most of the fans and the players don't believe in Rivera/Chud anymore, so why not can them instead. That will send a message more than firing the GM during the season when most likely, he wouldn't be doing anything that affected W/L records at this point. People can say what they want, but this team does have ENOUGH talent to make it to the playoffs. Coaching is why we are 1-5. There is no reason we shouldn't be 3-3 right now with the team as-is. The coaching sucks. The players want the coaches gone, yet, they're not... And now we have 53 guys playing for a staff they hate. Oh well... Another lost season. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The unemployment rate in San Joaquin County was 13.1 percent in February, down from a revised 13.2 percent in January and below the year-ago estimate of 14.4 percent, the state Employment Development Department said Friday.
That compared with an unadjusted jobless rate of 8.5 percent for California and 7.0 percent for the nation during the same period, the EDD said.
California's economy added 58,800 net new jobs in February, gaining back some momentum after a lackluster showing the month before, the EDD reported Friday.
The job gains helped push the state's unemployment rate down to 8 percent from 8.1 percent a month earlier.
The pickup in the job market was spread across nine industries, including financial activities, government, and leisure and hospitality. Educational and health services reported the biggest increase with 15,800 new positions.
Job losses were posted by two industries - manufacturing and the sector known as other services. Manufacturing posted the bigger decline, shedding 2,600 jobs.
The Golden State has now added about 1.23 million jobs since the recovery began in February 2010. In the last 12 months, California payrolls climbed 2.2 percent, with 336,600 positions gained in total, according to state data.
The EDD also reported that January's job losses were revised upward to 32,000. It was a month of conflicting data with a reduction in positions but a slight drop in the unemployment rate.
California's performance in February was in line with the U.S. overall, which added 175,000 net new jobs last month despite wintry storms and other bad weather. Despite the increase, the U.S. jobless rate ticked up slightly to 6.7 percent.

But, as Lawrence Goldstone's interesting book explains, progress was to be had only in fits and starts.
For one thing, not many were convinced that the future of aviation was in "heavier-than-air" flight ("heavier-than-air" machines use aerodynamic displacement achieved by some kind of motor to realize lift as opposed to "lighter than air" crafts which use the principles of buoyancy to the same effect. Airplanes are part of the former while hot-air balloons and dirigibles comprise the latter group).

Is there a Posts alternative to the wp_list_pages function?
I have looked every where for the answer and keep running into the same answers that all revert to a Pages solution.
In the Sidebar.php I would like to List all of the Posts from the Current Category whilst Excluding specific posts I choose.

Is there a similar line of code for Posts?
Kind regards in advance for any light anyone can shine on this.
