perhaps a failed color blocking
I had a really hard time dressing my bottom half today. I knew I definitely wanted to wear this wool scooter, and I love these knee highs, but after looking at the pictures something looked kind of off, so I tried just black leggings, to leave emphasis just on the dress...I can't really decide which one looks better now. Wearing the dress by itself isn't an option, since it's ultra short, and dressing modestly is important, so either way leggings or a bottom layer of some sort is key- also it's freezing outside. what do you guys think? How do you feel about layering over leggings?
dress: vintage
top: joe fresh
socks: ASOS
shoes: vintage
other socks: H&M
glasses: coastal

I like the black tights.ReplyDelete
Black tights would be my vote too :)ReplyDelete
Ok... in my opinion. I think they grey tights and socks are super fun. But the black tights are much more toned down and pretty as well.ReplyDelete
I'm loving both! The first for when you are feeling risky, daring, different, and then with leggings if you want to be classic, chic and perhaps want to blend in....but I love how you added the cute socks!ReplyDelete
The dress is short, but it fits you so well! Do you have skinny jeans? Ever sport it as a tunic as well? Or you could find a pretty vintage slip and try to add some length by layering it! <33
Cute classes, too!
Black leggings. For sure.ReplyDelete
Love it <3!!! Great blog, very cute!! Visit my blog and if you like it to follow me on google friends and I will be happy to follow you back <3ReplyDelete
I like them both!ReplyDelete
I'm going to have to vote for the grey leggings with the knee high socks. The other is cute to, but there is something really cute about socks over leggings.ReplyDelete
I love the black leggings better than the layered grey, for sure.ReplyDelete
Love both! I haven't thought about layering over. I definitely should!ReplyDelete
I like the grey leggings and socks. It looks more fashion-forward. :)ReplyDelete
I like them both but black leggings are better xoReplyDelete
Layered legwear is so fun. My favorite is the grey look.ReplyDelete
I think either outfit looks lovely. However, the previous look creates a sort of rebellious look with the knee high socks and the latter look creates a more subtle atmosphere. Both so adorable!ReplyDelete
georgeous outfit.ReplyDelete
love your dress,
love your thight,
love your bottom layer of some sort,
hhahaha, i love all of them
I honestly like the outfit both ways!ReplyDelete
xo Jennifer
i love the dress! i've seen lots of cute plaid vintage dresses on etsy that i've been wanting. this fits you very well.ReplyDelete

If Carlsberg did transfer windows...
...Tottenham would be barred.
Yesterday Jan Vertonghen was supposedly confirmed as confirmed can be without an official word and practically done and dusted according to Dutch sources. Today? Well today is a different day which means a new set of rules contradicting everything that came before it. The Dutch sources with us much spurt as an empty Ketchup bottle.
Here is the latest information to be shared in the wastelands of Twitter (via @BelgoFoot).
Possibility that will not join #thfc in the summer (sic). Disagreement between player and Ajax. (Voetbalprimeur.be)
Vertonghen says he was promised percentage of fee but Ajax seemingly don't want to pay. Report says his salary was lower than many players.
If he does not move in summer, Vertonghen says he will be happy to join #thfc in a year's time, out of contract.
His argument is with Ajax so won't sign without OK from them. (apparently)
Probably means he's at the Lodge passing his medical as we speak. Well no, he isn't. But at least that's where he would like to be. He wants to join. That's one positive from this messy saga we can embrace and hold onto with dear life. It's extraordinary how with each passing transfer window, everyone seems to be privy to information on prospective transfers but nobody actually knows what is going on.
As for the more important managerial appointment, the continued rumour is that AVB can't sign until July 1st when his contractual obligation with Chelsea supposedly ends.
Nothing is confirmed until said player is holding up the Lilywhite shirt and smiling. Nothing is confirmed until the club call a press conference to reveal the new man at the helm.
Until then, our misery continues.

The Politics of "24"
OK. I admit it. I am a "24" addict. It is completely self-inflicted. I am also addicted to the works of David E. Kelley, Larry David and Aaron Sworkin. These are the Preston Sturgeses of today, as far as goes TV. There may be more. I ain't got all day.
As a throbbing member of the cultural elite, I realize I shouldn't expect too much edification of the senses to issue forth from the idiot box, and yet, like moth to flame, I am drawn. Badly drawn. I am the proverbial badly drawn man. A stick figure among eggmen. A walrus without tusks. A hammer without a master. (Boulez-vous ecoute avec-moi ce soir?)
Life is butter dreams.
Naa. Well maybe. At any rate, I do enjoy my weekly Bauer fix. At least I did until she left. But she will be returning on Monday, so if you haven't heard already:
Kim Bauer Returneth!
(It's a guy thing.)
So yeah...politics of 24. Well, the latest is this:
Lynn, played by "Toy Soldiers" star, Sean Astin (also the son of excellent parentage) turns into a bloviating, power-blind, control freak with God-as-Daddy metaphorage tainting his social judgement. Imagine Bill O'Reilly or Rush Limbaugh at the helm of counter-terrorism, yawping and ululating like frightened chihuahuas. For some odd reason, this sort of behavior is acceptable, even encouraged, on the Right. But the Left and the Center have little stomach for it. And neither did the folks at CTI. After much plundering and blundering and thundering, the problem was removed, Section 112 was invoked, and adult supervision was returned to the good, hard-working, tireless folks at CTI.
If only the same can be said of the White House...both on the show, and in real life.
Plundering and blundering and thundering. I was wondering...what thinks ye underees?
Music in the Age of "George the Unready"
On December 10, 2004 I posted the following:
"Nightmare 9" from anonyMoses' POWWOWIRAQSI now available for free download
"Nightmare 9" is the soundtrack of a nightmare in Iraq. I hosted it at a different server, located HERE. The other songs are located here. "Nightmare 9" pays tribute to "Revolution 9" by the Beatles and "Plan 9 from Outer Space". Hope you enjoy it. Great for headphones and freakouts!
Little did I know that in 2006, Paul Krugman would write a column and call it "George the Unready". But he did. Here is Brad deLong's explanation of the title:
The reference is to the late tenth century English king who lost his kingdom to
the invading Danes, Ethelred the Unready--in Old English Aethelraed Unraed.
"Aethelraed" was his name, meaning "noble judgment." "Unraed" was attached to it
as a pun--"unraed" meaning not "unready" but "bad judgment." It's a pun.
I ran across Ethelred the Unready while studying genealogy. We are apparently related...although I identify more with his father, Edgar the Peaceable.
Iddybud alerted me to the Krugman column because she was getting a lot of hits, due to the fact that she had posted about my music, and mentioned the "George the Unready" part (which I had neglected to do).
Glad to see Paul Krugman and I are on the same wavelength...and that I was able to drive some traffic to Iddybud the Beyond Ready.
Iddy said:
The music inspired Patty Ann Smith to write this moving poem:
Can You Taste The Tears?
This is not the heartbeat of the Earth.
Can you hear the fear, can you taste the tears?
Can you smell the blood, can you touch the wounds?
This is the adrenalin rush of mankind at war with itself...
The death throws of a failed experiment.
Hope and despair living in the same body at the same time...
an impossible task that must be altered.
Otherwise, there will be merciful silence for the Earth in the end
and...no more children to build a future for.
~ Patty Ann Smith / Hope4America

Water Found on Mars
Human Origins Also Discovered
Thank God for small miracles! In a last minute effort, terrestrial scientists raced another robot up to Mars before everyone could let the mishaps of the last big adventure set in. And what did they find? No, not Timothy Leary. . . Water, stupid! Water!
Upon closer inspection of said water, the terrestrial scientists discovered, to their chagrin I might add, (but when isn't it?) that the water contained what appeared to be Human Spores, which has prompted them to assign varying meanings to this finding, and one of these is that we, humans that is, were once little spore-type-thingies, and we lived on Mars until it got too cold and we hijacked rides on comets which then smashed into the earth's atmosphere thus releasing us in the form of cosmic rain, if you will, which then filled up the oceans and Coca-Cola bottling plants.
How we became soft drinks is a deep subject which I only wish I had the time to tell, but alas, I must investigate further, ever further, bringing out the most newsy news consumable. It is my job. My life. My metier.
Now, back to you, Dan.
Liquids Wetter Than Solids, Gases
The news was swift and oppressive. Ripples and shudders radiated from the small Carolina village to the point where authorities were called in to quell the disturbance. This shocked a number of otherwise languid citizens, who were forced, by conscience, to stand up and defend the little Sutton child on the grounds that "he was really no worse than other brats just because he had ideas. Jeez!".
Further examination, however, has shown that there really is no such thing as a solid, since what were once thought of as solids are really nothing more than the same mind-fluff that every other schmo is composed of, which, as it turns out, is a sort of projection of God's visions and thoughts upon a holographic screen which we are all part and whole of, whatever that means. I just obey orders. And now they are telling me to wrap it up...
Anyway...look into it! Bucky Fuller is a good place to start. Get back with me. Ta!

The Liberal Media presents: The Virtual Bohemia Channel
Featuring the best in alternative programming for the evening, late night and the following morning.
Freud's Banana
Not unlike Newton's Apple, but with emphasis on human sexuality. Sometimes a banana is just a banana. This wouldn't be one of those instances.
England's answer to COPS, BOBBIES features the wacky antics of gentlemen with short bats. Viewers have commented on just how crude and boorish COPS seems, after viewing the more civilized Bobbies in action.
Food-Chain Gang
In this bizarre natural comedy, each rung up the ladder gets to laugh and point at the poor sucker one rung beneath him or her. But to make things interesting, the entire chain is literally chained together. Now let's see who comes out on top!
Arnold the Robopig
Arnold Zifflenegger has a problem. He is frankly a robotic swine overly concerned with Kohlberg's Third level of moral development, namely Law and Order. Watch as Arnold squeals on his friends and family until there is only one creature in the entire village who is not behind bars. Guess who.
Taboo Quest
Taboo Quest seeks out all the major world taboos...and exploits them for financial gain. This season we even hope to create a few new taboos, for your viewing pleasure.
As It Were
Virtual Bohemia's answer to the History Channel, only condensed into a 30-minute show...which is about as much History as most people want.
Imperfect Weekend
This Friday evening show previews some of the more arcane things taking place over the weekend. If you can't afford The Perfect Weekend...try an Imperfect one. You might see all your friends. At least the cheap ones!
Sexual In Your Window
This show, called the ballsiest on TV, is the best of video voyeurism, with particular emphasis on private sexual acts caught on tape. Great fun for the adult viewer!
Life After Money
Whether it be Life chasing after money, or what life can be like after you have lost it all, Life After Money is the show that treats of these two seemingly disparate states.
Genius Search
Star Search raised to the highest level, Genius Search seeks out the best minds in the world and rewards the recipient with whatever he or she needs in order to further their work.
Tobacco Executives
Tobacco Executives features the lives of the heads of this dying industry, only in a situational comedy format. The twist is that no one EVER tells the truth, so you can imagine the tangled webs they create.
Voyeur TV
First there was Real TV. Then there was Weird TV. Welcome to the Age of Voyeur TV! We highlight the best of voyeuristic TV shows around the world, as well as create a few ourselves...so there is absolutely no need to look elsewhere.
Green Witch Village
Green Witch Village documents the life and people of the community known as Green Witch Village...since that, indeed, is the name. Starting out as a Virtual Community, Green Witch Village is now a clothing-optional "Intentional Paradise" in the mountains of North Carolina. Membership is available, but is a million dollars. Can you pay my way? Watch to find out!
Rampant Pelvises
Rampant Pelvises is a sort-of MTV-style dance show...only the music is good and the people are good-looking and deliberately sexy. All "outfits" are dropdead, and can be purchased from the show. Same with the music. You can even chat with the dancers and set up 5-minute dates with them. Great for the kiddies!
Mama and Dada
A surreal show about how everyone's mother wants to be a Dadaist, but is invariably thwarted by agents from the cruel and lazy planet of Husbandry. Watch as the Husbands move in and remove toilet seats from the walls, only to leave the lid up elsewhere.
Canned Laughter
Canned Laughter is a new concept in TV. First we set up situations where people say unfunny things to each other, and then we edit in uproarious laughter so the viewer thinks that what was said is actually funny! On second thought...most "comedy" shows are just this! Oh well... Watch anyway. It's unfunny in a funny way.
Flower Arrangers
When Power Rangers failed to edify the children of America, but instead taught then how to beat each other up, a bunch of producers and enlightened TV execs got together and decided it was time that children learn something more socially useful, like flower arranging. This is the result. A little slow, but no violence.
Left-handed Animals
Documenting the strange lives of left-handed animals, Sir David Attenuationborough polishes his British accent to the low moans of widows statewide.
Seeing Godot Out
Godot has finally arrived, but was found to be a rather tedious soul, and so now the Becketts are trying to figure out how to get rid of him. In this episode, Fred Neechy, the neighbor suggests that Sam (Beckett) coerce the local newspaper to use "Godot is Dead" as their headline on Sunday. Godot does not move. But watch anyway.
World's Sexiest
First you had America's Funniest. Then came World's Funniest. Enter World's Sexiest... The show that features the sexiest everything in the world. Home videos, music, cars, jets, resorts, nightclubs, cities, countries, grocery stores...you name it. It's all on World's Sexiest!
Bleak Condo
The Busch family never seemed to be able to make it out of the '80s. Never really wanted to! Watch as this ludicrous family lives out their pathetic '80s lifestyle to the derision of their more evolved and hip neighbors.
Snail World
Road rage. Traffic jams. Standing in lines. These are among the many earmarks of the brick-and-mortar world, and this show is here to laugh at the people who have yet to make it to the Netizenry. Come join in the revelry! Or don't!!
Time Invaders
Thought by some to be more insidious than Space Invaders, Time Invaders are those people who take up way too much of your precious American time. This is their side of the story.
Stand-up Tragedies
The show for Stand-up comedians with low self-esteem. "If I bomb...so what! I am a walking tragedy!" Although many performances really are tragic, an occasional funny slips through now and again. See if you can spot one!
Night Vision Makes Lighting Obsolete
Everyone Now a Millionaire
Next month we will examine the next great revolution after the blog explosion, and that is, of course, the energy explosion...or shall I say, the energy "implosion"? Since Night vision has now removed all need for lighting, energy consumption has dropped to a mere trickle, the earth is cooling back down, and Mother Nature is smiling down upon us with grateful, knowing eyes. And you can bet those eyes are fashioned with a pair of Omnivision Nightwear from Shadewear International. The finest name in darkness correction.
Civilized countries are now being known for the darkness, rather than the abundance of light, since civilized countries are now converting to nightvision as a way to stave off darkness, rather than the old caveman tactic of trying to light everything around you, which is now known to be light pollution anyway!
The glasses are not only for night vision, however. One may also access the Internet, watch TV, use them as binoculars, stereo microscopes or telescopes although with nowhere near the resolution of the Hubble as yet, and yes! They also protect your eyes from bugs!
They are also corrected for astigmatism!
Anyway, we will be writing on this subject next month...so please come back. And keep the lights off for us!
Motorized Beer a Godsend for Lazy Frats
North Carolina State has been chosen to be a testing ground for the newly motorized beer, since everyone there drinks, and nearly everyone is as suggestible as they come, and therefore make nice guinea pigs for the tobacco, alcohol, cola and pharmaceuticalists, where a certain degree of gullibility is required in order to believe the ludicrous claims that are made by these nutty industries.
At any rate, there is sure to be a lot of good, clean binging going on, thanks to Buttviper and indeed, the entire addictive liquids industry. And you thought beer and motors didn't go together!
Free Book Review for ass-kissers of the literati
Simply copy the following document, paste it into your own editor, and then fill in the title, character, or pertinent information in the underlined areas, being sure to erase the underlines at some time during the process.

Forced by function to adonize the bedswerving bedlamites from an illth of worthies, one unearths, as you have shown, a veritable avium of jar-owls, among them, the rantallionic and yclept Mr._______ (who infect with every ejaculum) -- as certainly you must have been [forced], wrinkling and besmirched with that freedom stench -- this unctious fotzepolitik so redolent with stinkfoot fotzepolitik, and, my gosh, did you ever hit the head on the nail! (Muses! Where are you?)
Expose as you will the backsides of our masculine fundamentals, you shed light on the up and down side of invagination with ludibund and comely juvenescence. My cup runneth over! Facinosum est! To watch rather than to think.
But your ________ snakes up our collective spine and sparks the tip of our crown, generating uploads of mentation, tossing our brainsalads aside, to then fro then back again. You have touched our minds, and you have touched our sex. Now can you touch our hearts?

Your choice of detail was insightful and jocose, and your dichotomization of ________ I found, particularly compelling. ________'s concupiscent yet insouciant attitude toward the ebb and flow of partners, in this case coincident upon the venerable institution of _____________, might catch a lot of men-in-quotation marks one ball shy, who have notions about female desire and its relation to __________ that can rightly be called naive, if not mounting an all-out atavisticulum on the hingehead populoi who follow along, purblind puppets, fake giants among real pygmies, hoping that the woman will get pissed enough in the English sense to swashbuckle his pants and grunts of simian lippitude and reach toward the sausage that Vienna made famous, then faint with thoughts of nanotechnologies attacking her overcompensated thorax. So be it! Carpe Noctem! You deserve the light of a billion suns!

Sirians, Plaiedians Battle Over Water Rights
Sirius Gathers Water From Thirsty and Weirded-Out Earth
SIRIUS--Things are looking pretty grim here in Sirius, as the Plaiedians are utilizing the fact that they have 7 stars over Sirius' mere 2. The whole thing, Peter, is that it is all so cosmic, at least from the perspective of a merely planetary being. The problem, it seems, is that a Sirian comet was sold to "the Plaiedes Islands" (as they prefer to call their home [which we should respect -editor]) but the check never cleared, and in the meantime the comet got away, and dropped a good bit of its payload on Earth...which, as you may recall, Peter, was how we got here in the first place. And so they are fighting over who will come to earth to recollect the water, and then on to the Islands, the check will be released, bla, bla, bla.
This little skirmish, which I am now dodging and witnessing, intermittently, is really nothing more than a venting of tensions, I suspect, and normalized relations will probably return in only a few short millennia.
Lastly, I would like to apologize for throwing in those subliminal sexual innuendoes. In defense, I will only say that I could have used a stronger word than peter. And editor! I told you it wasn't supposed to be capitalized!!
Cola Addicts Seek Retribution
It seems the "line of liars" show that they put on before congress created such interest in addictive products, and their unfair advantage over the consumer, that all of the addictive products and services are now coming under the microscope. Colas, coffee, alcoholic beverages, nasal sprays, and other products that have addictive substances added to them are currently under fire, and much money is due to change hands.
It is not too late to become addicted to a product, and thus qualify for a portion of the class action settlement. For more information on how to become an addict, please call us and we will send you a current pusher list.
Bullets May Cause Lead Poisoning
"One day we might see doctors with guns, healing patients over great distances...with the help of vitabombs, vitabullets, and so on. There is talk about a grenade launched herbal salad as well as an Intercontinental Ballistic "Hot Bar." At any rate there is a lot of excitement going on at the place where guns meet medicine. Some day guns may be able to conquer death completely. Look at how effectively they cure life! It is but a few short steps from life to death, and now guns are making the distance even shorter. Guns Longa, Vita Brevis!
Bull Flatulence Causes Vertigo
But Food Animals are Happier!
Pooterville, GA.--With the recent, and most unfortunate, rash of exploding cow barns, scientists have been discovering that cow farts are largely constructed of the highly flammable and explosive Methane gas, which is why the barns explode, even with the simplest of static sparks. Imagine! A simple poot doing that! Now they are discovering that the gas causes vertigo if exposure is excessive.
One amusing footnote is that the child upon whom the study was performed was born on a Thursday, which prompted the cute but precocious boy to name the condition..."fartigo", which brought guffaws, chortles, gasps, and various other forms of proto-language. So now when people say that "Thursday's Child has far to go", it just might help you to remember the bravery of this young child of Thursday who, almost single-handedly, brought proper ventilation to America's fine slaughterhouses...who have not had a very good year due to bad karma.

Dubai Ports World: It's a Snow job
All actions of the Bush Administration are geared toward fattening the wallets of one or more of their inner circle...usually at the expense of everyone else. Bush is selling short our security in order to please Treasury Secretary John Snow, who stands to rake in millions.
Not in the inner circle? Feeling no tangible benefits from the Bush years?
Quit voting for the crooks!
"Genius" behind Bush's Amazing Residency on 2008 Selection
The Fox That Cried Wolf
Karl Roverer, the so-called "genius" behind the so-called "successful" Bush residency, is still with the use of the hindbrain, from which he now predicts a stunning Republican victory in 2008, according to infamous catamite to the Reich, Matt Drudge, and slick Fox-fed opportunist, Bill Sammon -- neither of whom bear the least resemblance to Nostrodamus.
Mr. Sammon is hawking his new book, which is running with the title, "Strategery", which, for all we know, is but a vain attempt to legitimate one of Bush's copious blunders, in much the same way that Bush's whipping boys keep repeating "nucular" -- a move which only moves the speaker down into the sub-cerebral bushosphere.
Drudge, Rove & Sammons. Foxes that cry wolf. On cue. Pavlov's foxes. Ring the bell and turds as words begin to flow into a sort of cloaca of consciousness, or unconsciousness, the aggregate of which we refer to collectively as simply BushWorld.
BushWorld! Where the Tao fears to tread, and Nature knows no Reason.
BushWorld! The darkening of the Light.
BushWorld! Where the world is an oyster for the Topnazis to molest with their mouths, and spit up on the poor.
It's a stratragedy. Written by a shakespoon.

"An Army of Davids": Ed Cone interviews Glenn Reynolds
The other morning I woke up from a dream where I was sitting, chatting with Ed Cone. It was a very pleasant conversation, although I forget what we discussed. Perhaps we discussed why Michelangelo named his sculpture "David" instead of "Dave". Not sure. Probably blogging stuff.
This has nothing to do with anything, except, perhaps, the way bloggers intermingle on the psychic plane. I did hear someone last night say that the Internet was God, and that it was God as the Internet, which saved this woman's life. I wish I had paid more attention to the discussion.
But back to the coming Edwardian Age, when all things Edward rise to the top, just as all things George step down. Happens all the time.
But along with the Army of Edwards comes "An Army of Davids", which, if you haven't heard, is a new book by blogfather, Glenn Reynolds, who most know as Instapundit. Somehow I think that if he would have chosen the name, "Blogtivedanta" or "Anonymoses", he wouldn't have become nearly so popular. But he is not a stupid fellow, and now this unstupid fellow has penned a collection of words for the paper world. And Edward Cone has reviewed it.
He also interviewed Mr. Reynolds, which can also be read at the same post.
As a David and a blogger, I must say that I feel compelled to buy the book, although there are other bloggers' books in front of him. Perhaps I shall open a bookstore that carries only books by bloggers. Think I'll let it ripen a bit first though.
Have you ever felt unfocused? Do you ever get the sense that your host is scintillant with unfocusizationality? Well, if you do, I want to join your camp, for we can win this one. Sometimes, in fact, I feel like Mister Shandy himself, with my life but one series of absurd digressions.
And so it is with great struggle that I force my fingers to stray back to the topic of "An Army of Davids"...which now, upon tertiary mentation, strikes me as a tad too militant for my tastes. I mean...why "Army"? Why not Peace Corps or Coast Guard? I guess "A Coast Guard of Davids" would sound a little Bunuelian for ricecake America. And yet that might be preferred to "A Coast Guard of Osamas"...which is how many are portraying the Fox/Chickenport Vulnerability Act, or whatever they are calling it -- which, from a systemic POV, would seem to weaken the boundary subsystem, and thus threaten the whole in question.
What no one is saying though is that America would not have to entertain such options had we not squandered and plundered the treasury. But now that the Norquistians of the world have succeeded in drowning America in their evil little bathtub, corporations are having to slough off pensions, and America is having to hand over our largest points of vulnerability to those who could do us harm.
As someone who tries to be universally xenophiliacal, I think it would be foolhardy to summarily discount the notions brought forth by the Bush Administration that it would be fine to hand over ports to the UAE, who, in the main, have been friendly. My own, albeit limited, experience with citizens of Dubai have been cordial and even delightful. These are not animals. These are industrious human beings, but, for what it's worth, quite devout in their religion.
But could these people harm us? Sure! I suppose, if they wanted to. I am not naive enough to think that they would spare us just because a few of their citizens had nice dinner conversations with some Americans back in the 70s.
Nor am I naive enough to think that they are all as polite and pacifistic as the ones I met. But having met them, and having had a pleasant concurrence, I would tend to say that we could give them a chance...and probably also have checks and balances just to prevent temptation from bribes or other untoward activities.
So I stay out of the debate. And digress once again.
"The Army of Davids" apparently has little if anything to do with real armies, but rather speaks to the issue of individual empowerment as witnessed by the rise of blogs, which though often singularly wrought, commands audiences as vast as what could once only be garnered by Goliaths of Industry.
'Bout damn time!
But this new paradigm is not about Davids replacing Goliaths, but rather a world flattened such that both are on more equal footing.
I really do need to shut up and eat something...

Is it possible to have an affair with words?
Besides the initial meaning, being a lover can also be a person who likes or enjoys something specific. Well, very specifically I like and enjoy words, and I hope my reads do, too. This leads me to my next question; 'What is a word?'
A word is a single distinct meaningful element of speech or writing used with other words to form a sentence. If I'm being honest, it doesn't sound like I want to have an affair with words. It sounds like I would be changing my relationship status to 'it's complicated'. A word can also be a comment, password or motto, a basic unit of data in a computer, a message or even the smallest amount of something spoken or written.
Going back to my question, it is possible (or possibly even necessary) to have a romantic relationship with words? Romantic means conducive to or characterized by the expression of love, which means an intense feeling of deep affection. Affection meaning a gentle feeling of fondness or liking. (As opposed to an aggressive one?) And a relationship is the way in which two or more concepts, objects or people are connected. It sounds like I'm a stalker, forcing words to have a romantic relationship with me. I'll admit, I am a little obsessed when it comes to words. So much so they I am writing a blog post about what it means to love them. (Seems I may have lost a few marbles.) I think a writer needs to be a logophile. I think you have to love words in order to be a good writer, even borderline obsessed. After all, our world revolves around words, right?
Though, if we are having a romantic relationship with words, it's a one way highway and lonely at times. I love words, but do words love me?
We do all the work as logophiles. We worship at our partners feet, hoping they will just reward us, treat us the way we want to be treated. We treat words so well; we explore them, cherish them, accept all of their flaws and even their curves.
After exploring and thoroughly dissecting the definition, a logophile is a person who expresses an intense, yet gentle feeling of fondness with the building blocks of sentences. I think it's safe to say that logophiles also need to be a little crazy.
How about it? Would you say as a logophile, you and words are connected by an intense feeling of deep affection?
As always, thank you for reading! If you enjoyed this blog post, take a moment and share it, tweet at me @TresaWriter, leave a comment below and share your thoughts! Happy ready and writing my friends!

A few years ago I suffered a needle-stick injury at work. The needle was attached to a syringe containing Nipah virus. I spent the next two weeks alone in a quarantine unit, watching DVDs and checking my temperature regularly. My food was left at the door and I was not allowed within ten metres of another person. My enforced holiday ended without incident which is fortunate as there's no effective treatment for Nipah virus encephalitis.
Nipah virus is a relatively new discovery. It was discovered during an outbreak in Malaysian pig farms in 1999. A mysterious illness began killing the pigs and soon spread to the farm workers. By the time the epidemic was over, 257 people had been infected, 105 were dead and a million pigs had been slaughtered to control the spread. Further outbreaks have occurred sporadically since then, mostly in Bangladesh, with fatality rates of up to 90%.
A related pathogen called Hendra virus is present in Australia. Since its discovery in 1994, numerous cases in horses and humans have occurred along the east coast of Australia. So far, infection of humans has only occurred after exposure to infected horses.
Hendra and Nipah virus both come from the same source: bats. Fruit bats in Asia and Australia act as reservoirs for the virus. Spillover into other species occurs when food or water is contaminated with bat urine or saliva. A number of the outbreaks in Bangladesh have been linked to uncooked fruit or date palm juice. Date palm juice is the sap of the date palm and is collected overnight in pots. Fuit bats feeding in the trees at night can contaminate the juice which is drunk fresh the following morning before it begins to ferment.
It's not known how bats are able to harbour and circulate these viruses without falling victim themselves. And the henipaviruses are not unique. Bats are reservoirs for a large number of pathogenic viruses including SARS coronavirus, Ebola virus, Marburg virus and rabies virus as well as a host of lesser known viruses such as Mokola virus and Duvenhage virus that emerge from time to time, claim a small number of victims and disappear again.
The mobility of bats combined with their habit of roosting in very large, closely packed groups may have contributed to their resistance to viruses. A long evolutionary history in such virus-friendly conditions may have selected for an immune system that is uniquely capable of harbouring pathogens without succumbing to them.
As human populations encroach further into bat habitats, virus spillover events are likely to become more frequent and demands for culling of bats louder. By protecting themselves from the effects of viruses, bats may have inadvertently made themselves the target of an even bigger threat.

FORT WORTH, Texas -- Quarterback Andy Dalton was just thankful to have a DVR.
The junior, who helped lead No. 4 TCU to a 55-28 victory over No. 14 Utah on Saturday night, knew he wasn't going to get to see ESPN's "College GameDay" live, much less go anywhere near the set on Saturday morning. But Dalton didn't want to miss all of the Frog fans waving their signs and cheering.
"I've had the TiVo set for a while," said Dalton, as he stood in the campus commons area at TCU on Friday, the day before the game, and took in the scene. "I can't believe they came here. It's exciting to be at TCU and be a part of this. We're getting national recognition. When I came here, I never thought 'GameDay' would come too."
After TCU beat BYU in late October, freshman Beau Tiongson thought there was a chance "GameDay" would show up. As soon as word came down last Sunday, he was busy working on signs and planning an all-night stay to be sure to secure a prime spot. Tiongson even brought out a couch, television and Nintendo 64 from his dorm room so he and his friends could be more comfortable.
"We wanted to see if we could get on TV and have some fun with it," said Tiongson, who skipped a few classes Friday to keep his spot, along with friends Lindsey Bailey and Adam Riddell. "It's an historic event. How could we miss it?"
Tiongson wasn't the only one with that thought. Fort Worth mayor Mike Moncrief dropped by campus Friday afternoon just to get a look at the set and meet the crew.
"This is a huge deal for our city," Moncrief said. "This gives TCU and Fort Worth national exposure. We know what great fans we have here and now the country is seeing it. 'GameDay' is huge. It's a show that so many people plan their Saturdays around. To have them here says so much about this football team and the school."
"GameDay" arrived on campus Wednesday, a little earlier than normal because they'd never been to TCU, to meet with school officials and work out logistics. The stage area, which took up a large part of real estate near the student union and included a view of Frog Fountain, was constructed Thursday. That's when the "GameDay" bus arrived.
Streams of fans took turns snapping photographs in front of the orange bus, which includes a picture of Lee Corso, Kirk Herbstreit, Chris Fowler and Desmond Howard. It's something Bobby Stephens sees at every stop. Stephens, a 62-year-old retiree from the U.S. Navy, has driven the bus for seven years. Inside are leather couches and chairs and six televisions with satellite so that the talent and crew can watch games on Saturday if necessary. Jackson figures he puts an average of 23,000 miles a year on the bus, traveling all over the country.
The on-air talent doesn't arrive until Friday morning. Howard, Herbstreit and Fowler go on set at various times for live and taped shots for use on "SportsCenter" and other shows. Friday afternoon, coordinating producer Lee Fitting runs the pre-production meeting, going over the rundown of the show. It's the first chance all of them get to talk about the various college football topics they want to discuss and how the show is going to go.
About 30 minutes into a two-hour meeting, TCU coach Gary Patterson walked in with his wife, Kelsey. He greeted everyone in the room and thanked them for coming. Fowler and Herbstreit peppered Patterson with some questions, utilizing the time to get information they'll use on the show. Patterson was asked about the play of defensive standouts Jerry Hughes and Daryl Washington and how he thinks his team will play in front of a sellout crowd. Patterson talked about how focused his team has been this season and how he can't wait to feel the atmosphere Saturday night.
"We'll be back," Fowler told Patterson before he left. "You just keep doing what you're doing."
Patterson wasn't anywhere near the "GameDay" set on Saturday. But hundreds of Frog fans were up and ready well before the show began. By 9 a.m. Dallas time, fans were still streaming in, hoping to get their sign on television or to simply make noise and show their support.
Just before the show went on the air, Fowler turned to the purple-clad crowd and got them ready.
"This is really, really impressive," said Fowler, who put on a cowboy hat along with the rest of the crew for a little Texas flavor. "The next two hours belong to you guys. It's a chance to show the nation what purple power is all about."
The fans roared and the show began. And there were signs everywhere. Some were simple, yet effective -- "Dalton for Heisman" or "Do you want to SuperFrog that?" and others were elaborate. One sign had a huge photo of Corso with the words: "TCU -- The only defense that can knock the pencil out of Corso's hands." Another was a close-up of Patterson's face and shirt, with the line: "Fear the Murtleneck," a reference to Patterson's frequent fashion choice of a mock turtleneck on the sidelines.
But perhaps the most creative was a large, full-body shot of Patterson with pants that moved up and down. Patterson has a habit of adjusting his britches, and this sign did that for him, drawing plenty of laughs from the crew and TCU fans.
"We just wanted to do something that would stand out and no one else would do," said Steven Greathouse, 31, who made the sign with David Brown. Both work in real estate and are TCU grads. "This has been a lot of fun for us."
PGA Tour golfer J.J. Henry stood near the stage, cheering along with TCU fans.
"This shows how far this program has come," said Henry, who has played in a Ryder Cup.
Even Kelsey Patterson couldn't help but see what all the commotion was about. She dropped her husband off at the team hotel and came over to campus.
"I'll have to tell him about all of these signs," Kelsey Patterson said.
The loudest cheers came as the show ended. Corso, in what has become a weekly tradition, puts on the mascot head of the team he picks in the game that "GameDay" is featuring. On Saturday, he tossed aside a Utah helmet and donned SuperFrog's head, complete with the Horned Frog hand sign.
"Go Frogs," Corso yelled, his sounds muffled by the mascot head.
With that, the show ended. As the on-air talent exited, dozens of fans came up asking for autographs and wanting to take pictures. The crew obliged, smiling repeatedly and chatting with fans.
Herbstreit was the first one out, needing to get on a plane to Pittsburgh to broadcast that night's game with Notre Dame. He left impressed with TCU's fan base.
"I would compare this to Clemson as far as being one of the better crowds we've ever had," Herbstreit said. "We've never been here and you could tell that football means a lot to them. And TCU football means a lot. By us showing up here, I think it validates to them that they have arrived as being a legitimate, BCS-worthy type of team.
"We're very appreciative of that kind of interest. There's nothing more unpredictable and yet inspiring as when you walk up that set on Saturday morning and feel the energy from the crowd. And this was as good as we've had."

We've been to a few concerts recently, to find out what the local music is like.
First of all came Rossy, whose poster attracted P because of the accordion. Arrived at the concert a quarter of an hour before it was supposed to start, which seemed reasonable at the time. When we got there, the group was just finishing balancing the different instruments. As the concert was held in a café, a lady suddenly jumped up and started going round everybody who was there, trying to explain that if they wanted to see the concert, they had to pay 10€, and if they didn't, they had to depart as soon as possible. We paid our 10€ and waited. An hour and a half later, Rossy arrived on stage.
It started out as an all-singing-and-dancing show, with the musicians alternatively playing, telling stories in Malagasy and jumping to the ground to perform a series of backflips. They were all very sweet with their little red and blue coats, and the music was interesting, definitely sustainable if not my first choice. Then it all went awry from our point of view, as Rossy shouted to his audience to come and dance in front of the stage. Everybody promptly crowded in front of us - couldn't see a thing - and started dancing tapôlaka, which you dance by holding your body relatively still while wiggling your bottom about. The music became repetitive, half of it only percussion, while people danced. After about two hours of various bottoms wiggling in our faces, we got fed up and left.
The next concert we went to was with Diho, who we found to be excellent. The group of three - two guitars, one drummer and all three singing - played bluesy songs and didn't stop for over an hour. Even between songs, one of them kept playing rhythms or chords while the others hurried up and joined in. I'll look for their CD, as I really liked the group.
Following Diho in the same concert was Maalesh. The audience obviously loved him, as they started clapping madly when he arrived on stage. We'd never heard of him before, and thought he was rather full of himself. He often comes into Mamoudzou music school to sing with the children and with the adults' choir, so when he came on stage, a group of kids gathered round his feet and they sang two or three songs together. He mainly used the kids as backing singers doing ooo-ooo-ooos and lalalas, though, which must have been a bit disappointing for them. He also got the audience to sing along with him a few times, although most of us were white and obviously didn't understand the words. He got on my nerves, though, because he insisted on chatting for ten minutes about his love life between songs, saying that everybody has a right to have somebody to love, and that that gave him things to sing about. Humph.
We learnt later on that the words to his songs were very religious. He doesn't hide this religiousness at all, though, because he always sings and is shown with the kofi, a small hat Muslim men wear, on his head.
On the 27th of April, it was Slavery Abolition Day in Mayotte. A couple of acquaintances, who run a music school in Tsingoni, invited our group, elegantly named "The Blue Mango", and a Mahorese group called Del to play to whoever wished to come. Not very many people came, as it was in the middle of the week and not everyone had the day off the following day, but we had fun playing and dancing, as well as listening to the other group. They had interesting instruments, most of which they had made themselves, and they played and sang typical Mahorese tunes.
A friend of ours was playing with a jazz group at a café just down the road from us, so we went to see him. He'd sent a message to a whole group of us to say he was playing that evening, so quite a few of the musicians we've been playing with for a while now turned up to listen and chat. We learnt that two were leaving Mayotte for Madagascar in June, two were going back to Marseille in July, and one was pregnant, so that gave us plenty to talk about. The music itself wasn't really concert-type music, more like background music for when you're busy doing something else, but it was nice hearing friends play.
The next concert we went to was with Cordes Avides, a group of three white men playing jazz with only string instruments: a violin, a viola and a double-bass or double-bass guitar. They were excellent. They couldn't keep still, which is why my photos of them are pretty rubbish, they played very quickly and very well, always playing around each other and carefully harmonizing their different tunes. All the tunes ended up sounding rather like each other, though, because they harmonized them all in the same way: the double bass would play pizzicato notes while first the violin, then the viola played the tune, alternating between the tune and a backing melody.
They then invited two groups of amateur musicians to play with them, which the groups had obviously been rehearsing for the last months. One group of children, who played a tune which had been composed by the group's conductor, and one group of adults, who played two jazz standards, "So What" and "Autumn Leaves". We stayed to listen to both, especially as we had a couple of friends in the adult group: Françoise (soprano saxophone, accordion, banjo, guitar), who we've been playing with since we arrived in Mayotte, and Henri (drums and guitar), who is another English teacher in my school.

Juanita Broaddrick: Media Won't Interview Me About Clinton 'Because I'm Not a Porn Star'
Steyn: 'If Trump Really Paid Off a Porn Star for $130K, That's The Art of the Deal'
FL Shooting Survivor Kashuv: Stop Blaming Rubio - 'Gun Control Won't Solve This Issue'
A woman who accused then-Arkansas Attorney General Bill Clinton of raping her said the media is treating porn star Stormy Daniels wildly different than herself.
Sean Hannity asked Juanita Broaddrick if CNN's Anderson Cooper - who interviewed Daniels for CBS - has called her to hear her own story of alleged sexual misconduct by a president.
HEY 60 MINUTES @andersoncooper HOW ABOUT HAVING ME ON To Discuss my Book, "You'd Better Put Some Ice On That". ....What Bill Clinton said to me after he Raped Me. https://t.co/9vsEz8YdD0
— Juanita Broaddrick (@atensnut) March 25, 2018
Broaddrick said she tweeted at Cooper to ask why he remains silent on her case.
"There's no comparison," fellow Clinton accuser Paula Corbin Jones said of the coverage of the Daniels allegations versus her own and those of Broaddrick.
Jones received a settlement after accusing Clinton of pulling down his pants and exposing himself to her.
Broaddrick said Sean Hannity and former NBC journalist Lisa Myers were some of the very few media personalities interested in hearing her story.
She said Clinton raped her in a hotel room and kept her silent by biting her lip.
Her new book "You'd Better Put Some Ice On That" tells of the incident, and the only words Clinton spoke after the alleged rape before he "put on his sunglasses" and left the room.
"I'm not a porn star, I was a hard-working nurse and businesswoman," Broaddrick said. "I wasn't a porn star so that's why they weren't interested in me."
Jones recalled how political commentator James Carville, then a Clinton White House adviser, told the media "you can drag a dollar through a trailer park" and people like Jones will make allegations against the president for that dollar.
Broaddrick and Jones called the coverage of Daniels' allegations "insane," and noted that even if Trump had sex with Daniels, it was consensual unlike in the case of Broaddrick's accusation.

Roswell, NM Zombie-Walk...?
This is something I just thought of doing a few minutes after hearing about this, and remembering my costume plans of a zombified raver.
But yes, this would be a chance for all of us zombie-loving, Eastern New Mexicans to get down with our undead selves. Currently, I think the best places would be the Roswell Mall (we could even do it as an "opening" for the Halloween days), Cahoon Park (poorly lit = scare some kiddies and old people), or maybe a few others locations.
Thing is, I have not a clue when we should set-up shop, how to really organize, or even how to get the word around that much.
So, come this weekend, I'm going to try handing this link over to some of the local radio stations, and see if maybe they'd like to help organize, spread the word, etc.
For now, if there are any people from other parts of New Mexico, namely Eastern, that might want in on this, want to help out, tell people, by all means, do so. Even better, contact me through my MySpace (the WWW link; it's supposed to be a "band" page, but has no music yet), AIM/MSN, or my e-mail (also linked to buttons somewhere), and we can work some stuff out.
Now that talking is done, let's all get some tasty brains and flesh, eh?

I cannot get enough of these supre cute and GENIUS 2 in 1 zippered sneakers by Nat-2.

They've been the recipient of multiple design awards such as the Red Dot award, the Innovation and Design award in 2007, the ISPO Brand New Award, and was named one of the 50 shoes that changed the world by the London Design Museum.

Fairy Tale Song (cadê) lyrics
Artist: Nascimento Milton
Song Title: Fairy Tale Song (cadê)
(Milton Nascimento/Ruy Guerra/Matthew Moore)
My little fairy tale friend
My little tired frail friend
Where are all your friends and dreams from the old days,
Tinkerbell and Peter Pan?
Where is all the hope Snow White tried to give you?
Where has it all gone?
Gone away
My little fairy tale friend
My long awaited frail friend
Sleeping Beauty's kiss is still somewhere waiting
With you magic sword and wand
Alice and the Wonderland that she showed you,
Where has it all gone?
Gone away
My little fairy tale friend
My little frightened pale friend
Go ahead and cut the night of the forest
Go and kill the dragon's fire
Show me all the games you know from the stories
So that I can play
Make me smile
Fernando de Paula Junior

Optimum Wellness Plans® are yearly packages of discounted services that make proactive pet health care easy and affordable.
I recommend that you take Aki into see his veterinarian immediately. Any swelling in the neck, especially if they are lymph nodes, is very concerning. Lymph node swelling in puppies is usually a sign of an infection. Many of these infections can be severe or even life threatening if not treated properly.
The retained testicle is something that you can wait on for a little while. I do recommend that you have him neutered as soon as you can though. The undescended testicle has a high potential to become cancerous if it is not removed.

Things I liked: Size heft and ergos are just like the firearm. Fun to shoot (when it works right).
Things I would have changed: Uses ALOT of gas. Safety broke, doesn't always lock open for empty mag, leaked gas (but I fixed it).
What others should know: Safety lever broke off right side. Sorry I boughtCO2 mag adapter- not many shots to a 12 gram. Uses a lot of gas. Now using propane, stinky. Would not buy this model again. Will sell and get Sig or KWA.
5.0 5.0

4.0 4.0
Things I liked: Fantastic quality. Alot of shot for one CO2 cartridge, about 90. Completely mad e of metal and accurate down to the last detail including functioning. All of the safeties work like the real gun, the slide cycles when fired and locks open on the last shot. Pretty good accuracy in that I can hit a 2"" x 2" target at 40 feet. This is my first Airsoft gun of this type and I will be looking to buy another.
Things I would have changed: I wish the CO2 magazine came with the gun instead of the Green Gas magazine. The magazines are a bit pricey.
What others should know: You will not be able to put it down once you start shoot and your wife will make you pick up all of the little white balls.
4.0 4.0
4.0 4.0
Things I liked: Operation is identical to the real thing (have used springfield, colt, para-ordnance, kimber). Excellent and rapid recoil and cycling. Light, clean-breaking trigger. Clean magazine release. CO2 or GG option a major advantage, personally prefer CO2 after having used both types of propellant, especially since all my other airguns are CO2 (bb, pellet). All metal a great advantage in realism, durability.
Things I would have changed: Slightly thinner grip - just a tad wide for my hands, which are fairly average sized; the grip is wider than a single-stack, though not as wide as a para-ordnance double-stack. May need better quality control or a slightly more robust design on the gas seal where it contacts the magazine - mine broke after just four co2 cartridges. Cover at the bottom of the CO2 mags is quite large, a smaller design would be good.
What others should know: Pyramydair replaced mine in just a couple of days, very cooperative and professional. Would make a great training device (even says for training use only on the box). Instructions are poorly translated, but diagrams help. The match to the real thing comes in great here - if you have used the real thing, you already know everything to do aside from the very intuitive CO2 replacement.

RuPaul is the most famous drag queen in the world – and my absolute favourite! You can't help but smile and laugh along with her. She has a beautiful nature, is absolutely charming and outrageous! She also has a rocking body and I would love to meet her and learn how to do my makeup just like her. She is flawless, fabulous and stunningly glamorous and a real inspiration to everyone out there struggling to just be themselves – Go Girl!
RuPaul Andre Charles was born in San Diego, California on November 17, 1960. RuPaul is an actor, drag queen, model, singer and songwriter. Quoted as not caring if you called him or her a he or a she, RuPaul shot to fame in the 1990s where he appeared in a variety of television programs, films, and music albums. He was also linked to the nightclub scene in New York and Georgia. He has appeared in a number of roles as RuPaul Charles, the man, and RuPaul the drag queen superstar.
RuPaul also hosts a show called 'RuPaul's Drag Race'. It is the ultimate drag queen competition. RuPaul is the inspiration for the show and controls all of the judging and eliminations. The man, RuPaul mentors contestants and helps them prepare for challenges in the fight to become America's next drag superstar. The contestants are aspiring drag queens in America who are glittery, glamorous, stunningly beautiful and absolutely outrageous! Each week the contestants create costumes and strut their stuff down the runway and entertain us with show-stopping performances. The bottom two contestants in the race must lip-synch for their lives in a drag queen showdown. The winner gets to 'Shante and stay,' the loser must 'Sashay away.'
She has some fantastic one liners that absolutely crack me up. She certainly makes a point and here are a few of my favourites:
'Don't fuck it up!'
'Eleganza extravaganza!'
'If you don't love yourself, how in the hell you gonna love somebody else? Can I get an Amen?'
'With hair, heels, and attitude, honey, I am through the roof.'
'We all came into this world naked. The rest is all drag.'
'Look at me–a big old black man under all of this makeup, and if I can look beautiful, so can you.'
'I do not impersonate females! How many women do you know who wear seven-inch heels, four-foot wigs, and skin-tight dresses?'
RuPaul also has a new book out called, "Workin It!: RuPaul's Guide to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Style". It is said to be more that just a style guide. It's a book of self-empowerment offering tips about fashion and makeup and encourages us to 'rise up and be fierce!' and own your look. She has also had another book published called, 'Letting It All Hang Out: An Autobiography.'

I recently found this excellent video clip of the talk that Pakistan's Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi's gave at the Brookings Institution last month:
Oh, wait... Wrong video! Sorry about that. This video here is of President Obama trying to get his G-20 buddies to buy into US monetary policy (..."What the world needs now is...more cheap credit!") Anyhow, read the transcript of the Brookings event and you'll get the idea.
I was reminded of PM Qureshi's talk this morning when I attended the release of Council of Foreign Relations Independent Task Force Report No. 65, "U.S. Strategy for Pakistan and Afghanistan." Scanning the text of the report and then scrutinizing the bios of task force members, I was not surprised to find that physicians and economists were in short supply. (It also appears that exactly one Pakistani & zero Afghans were on the Independent Task Force, but, hell, what do they know?)
Had physicians been present on the CFR task force they would have been able to identify drug-seeking and doctor-shopping behaviors evident in requests for escalated bilateral aid and military assistance commitments.
Had economists been present they would have been able to remind other task force members that no country in the world has ever developed successfully and sustainably as a consequence of military and official development assistance. Countries develop despite aid directed to national governments, not because of it.
Perhaps as a consequence of these absences, or otherwise due to reasoning-by-force-of-habit, the CFR has produced a report that completely misses the opportunity to fundamentally challenge the false premises of Af-Pak (or "Pak-Af") strategy, and, as a consequence, offers an implicit but nonetheless wholehearted endorsement of the ongoing co-dependency between Pakistan and the United States that...well, just might have something to do with that country's relatively disappointing pace of development and current security challenges. What's missing from the report is the one thing the the United States is best at, and the one thing that matters most to development in Pakistan as elsewhere: entrepreneurship and innovation.
Now, I know what you're thinking. Who is this moron? Was he hiding in some cave at George Mason University when 9/11 happened? Is he really suggesting that the Security Threat featured in the CFR report and at the center of the entire Af-Pak discussion is totally the invention of an aid-seeking client state (& the willing consumers of that narrative in the US)? Of course not! Pakistan is indeed a dangerous place. In the past three years as many as 5,000 people have died there in terrorist acts--large and small--including 18 just yesterday in a dramatic attack in Karachi just outside the Marriott where I stayed three weeks ago.
But let's get real here--5,000 fatalities is not even one-fifth the toll of Mexico's ongoing drug war, which is taking place less than an hour by black SUV from Disneyland. Pakistan--a country of 180 million people, covering an area twice the size of California--tends to rank below both Sri Lanka and India when it comes to terrorism incidence. Yet such a ranking--and a decades-long civil war--did not prevent Sri Lanka from making remarkable strides in its development--for example, achieving a plateauing of its population growth rates comparable to that achieved in China, but without a coercive "one-child" policy. And India...
As for the feasibility of entrepreneurial success in a country with a weak or a failed government--well, think about it, does a relative absence of regulatory hurdles and pockets to fill make it easier or harder for an entrepreneur to get started? Conditions for entrepreneurial entry into a market can quite easily be favorable even when conditions for established, large-scale business are not. If you're still not sure, read this story of the founding and dramatic growth of Roshan, the first and still the dominant mobile phone company in Afganistan; or watch this talk on entrepreneur-led development by the current head of Pakistan's planning commission; watch this video of Iqbal Quadir describing the role of entrepreneurship in development (start at 6:20); or browse through the Kauffman Foundation's growing set of resources on "expeditionary economics."
As for Al-Qaeda, what part of global terrorist network hasn't sunk in with the Af-Pak brain trust? Islamic Fundamentalist terrorism is a global phenomenon (Philippines anyone?) It's not going to be solved in the Swat Valley anymore than it is in Times Square. As I wrote three years ago:
In the long term, our counterterrorism policy should be more focused on addressing the profound shortcomings of the U.S. domestic response and recovery capability than on action in the Middle East. The countries most experienced in fighting terrorism (Israel, Spain and the United Kingdom, among others) learned long ago that resilience through well-developed response and recovery capabilities is a critical part of effective deterrence. The actions required to build such resilience are mostly taken at home, not abroad, and they involve deep collaboration between public and private actors. As Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath decisively demonstrated, many such actions have not yet been taken in the United States.There is one way forward for the sort of Af-Pak policy represented in the CFR report released today, and in other Af-Pak reviews released in recent months. That way is the way to the door--out of Pakistan, and out of Afghanistan. We'll get there by working as equals with Pakistanis and others in the region who share our values and are doing things that make a positive difference (e.g. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5...).
As aid and military contractors gradually and gracefully exit, they will make room for members of the Pakistani diaspora seeking to reconnect with their country; investors from Dubai; deal-makers from Guangzhou; and, who knows, maybe a few regular-old Americans looking to make some money in a place that is poised for take-off.
Questions? Ask your doctor.

We saw a totally different perspective of Newfoundland; when the mountains, beaches and everything else was transformed under layers and layers of white snow and the crazy cloudy skies. In my extra week there, I had some more time to think. Now, for those who know me well, extra time to think is not necessarily a good thing, but I had some interesting thoughts and discussions about my research (and life in general but we'll save that for a rainy day - or two) ... mainly about the idea of alternative spaces, the inbetween and ideas of the masculine/feminine/other. That they all have to exist to provide boundaries for the other to exist by that these boundaries have shifted and been blurred by the sociological and cultural shift ... therefore, where are the alternative spaces that I am trying to negotiate and what happens to the construct of gender when they are negotiated? Hmmm ... I also decided that one of the things I was going to do in 2010 was to learn French as my research relates a lot to French conepts and the translation of French ideas, so I will hopefully be able to say more than Bonjour, oeufs and Je m'appelle Jacqueline!
Ive been back now for a few weeks, a stone lighter : ) still relaxed-ish and finally getting back on it ... back to college and teaching again and cracking on with my PhD. Ive just handed in a PGCE assignment as well which I'm still traumatised from and which I've now decided is an acronym for Painfully Grim Coerced Encounter. I did start looking at a wicked art-practice-as-research book whilst I was doing it by Graeme Sullivan (its well worth getting it) and started to think about methodologies and mapping again. I have a plan but I'm not going to say anything until it has (hopefully) started to develop.I have also finally completed my 9r registration to research which is now with the research panel at BIAD. Yey! Now Ive done all the official things you have to do ... I can get ON IT and start working on the next chapter of the research ... literally, as Ive started to write up (AAAAARGH! scary!) and analyse the textstallation that I did a couple of months ago.
Anyhoo, before I go, check out this amazing blog the big smash which has loads of amazing work by my ace brother Laurence, it rocks! I have three of his pieces of work in my house and they make me smile so much when I look at them : )

Stuffed raviolis are far and few between for dairy free dieters, but Cafferata has managed to keep one variety on the shelves. This all-natural pasta (even the colors are made from vegetables and spices) is packed with a unique blend of artichokes, lemon, and parsley.
The pasta itself is delicious, and has a fresh taste from the added herbs. The inside texture is very similar to mashed potatoes, though the ingredients list breadcrumbs, potatoes, and garbanzo beans as fillers. The base flavor is relatively neutral, but the artichokes add the extra pop that good raviolis require. Luckily, the lemon was not too strong, as I am not a huge fan of lemon-flavored foods (aside from candy of course!).
This pasta would probably go best with a simple butter flavored (non-hydrogenated) margarine, or a douse of extra-virgin olive oil with some sprinklings of vegan Parmesan. Unfortunately, I was out of all of the above, so I opted for a very light tomato sauce. It complimented nicely as well.
The package contains about 17 good-sized raviolis. I would say it was pleasantly enough at lunch for two, though a hungry carb fan could easily eat the whole package. Luckily, each serving only contains 160 calories (roughly 400 for the whole package), 1 gram of fat, 1 gram of sugar, and 280mg of sodium. As an added bonus, there is 6 grams of protein per serving (15 per package).
I couldn't resist purchasing this pasta when I spotted it on sale for $2.50 a package, and wouldn't hesitate to buy it again when the next sale strikes. Aside from the taste, the 10-minute preparation was a dream come true.
Luckily this Artichoke Ravioli remained in good standing when their two other dairy free pastas were discontinued (Soy Good 4 U Raviolis, Lemon Tortellini with Olive filling). Perhaps with some friendly requests Cafferata will restart the vegan R&D.
- Pros: Vegan; Soy-free (no tofu!); All-natural ingredients; Low in calories, fat, and sugar; Good source of protein; Very convenient; Fresh taste
- Cons: Base flavor of the filling is somewhat plain and relies heavily on the artichoke
Recommended For:
- A Light Meal
- A Soy-Free Ravioli Option
- Vegans
- Fresh Pasta Cravings
Where to Buy:
- In Stores – Cafferata is widely distributed to natural food grocers throughout the U.S.
