(The Truth Seeker May, 2016)
The one- or two-hour biography, whether film or play or documentary, is fraught with landmines: the portrayal reduces the life, redacts the ideas, rings the subject's good bells, tosses in a token failure or two, and pumps up an artificial destiny. All was meant to be, we see in hindsight, 'tis great-man history. Such unnuanced bios—I'm thinking of films like Ali and Steve Jobs—re-mythologize the life to salvage one on whom history has been confused or ungenerous. We make a flawed man great again if we carefully rehab him. Think of the slow Teddy-Bearing of George W. Bush.
There may be no better candidate for reconstitution than Thomas Paine, secularism's favorite anti-British British hero of American independence, perhaps the finest polemicist our republic has ever known. During his life (1737-1809), Paine was loved and reviled, the latter, the loudest. In his sixties and an American citizen, he became the "filthy little atheist" and the "devil incarnate," a pariah to the cause of liberty. One obituary said Paine "had lived long, done some good, and much harm." His haters' wrath centered on The Age of Reason (1794-6), a lucid refutation of religion. In days of yore when dissent in print or speech led to the guillotine, Paine disavowed all creeds and clerical authority, judged the Bible a scurrilous tale of a cruel deity, and thought Jesus Christ just another wayward stargazer. A deist, Paine marveled at the Creation and lovingly called the Creator, God.
(Music & Musicians Issue 41 2015)
Some vocalists take wing as teen sensations and circle the port; some launch as adults and fly transcontinental. Few make the shift—few as driven as England's Jamie Cullum: 7 albums in 15 years. He of the bedhead, the suit-and-Converse-wearing Phenom, the 20-year-old crooner who hit pop-smart with 1999's Heard It All Before. Cullum's latest, Interlude, meshes jazz and near-jazz: 15 tunes in search of his comfort zone, which, gorgeously produced, still sounds a touch over-comfy, a tad couch-safe. On "My One and Only Love," the song's yearning plods, lacking the vibrant candor of his 1999 trio recording. Same with Hank Williams' "Lovesick Blues," a ribald honky-tonker too slow-to-pop, though the band's country funk is heel-toe firm. Several gems here do shine with an inner ferocity, especially when Cullum and an orchestra parlay. Of the album's two duets, Gregory Porter's preacherly conviction on the Animals' classic "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" unbuckles the ride. The sound is brassy, torch-bearing, and the balladeer gets it. Best of show is Jule Styne's "Make Someone Happy," the voice/solo piano blend bleedingly sincere. Here a full-grown Cullum crosses conflicted emotions; he's as much pained by as he's possessed of the tune's declaration. Overall—less pap, more tart, please. The talent's undeniable.
(Essay Daily October 7, 2015)
Around 1910, Vasily Kandinsky, the Russian artist, began a revolution in seeing by finishing the first abstract paintings in Europe, though the Navajo, the Chinese, and the Muslims had been making design art for centuries. It took a few years before he quit portraying mountains and horses' heads and drew, instead, a phantasmagoria of floating and cellularly busy flat forms. The surprise was that Kandinsky's subjectless swirls and smudges, lines and dots, said something, despite not representing recognizable images like peasants or churches. Voila, as he'd intended, form in itself was rapturously beautiful. As if the Western eye knew all along that a triangle and a splotch, when layered on canvas, would animate the space like geometric ballet. Why had we avoided the disjunctive so long in art?
(The Humanist July/August 2015)
In 1952, with the election of Dwight D. Eisenhower as president, a small, chariot-driving clan of Christian evangelicals stormed the national stage, bent on foisting their religious claims into American law, custom, and ceremony. The chief drivers—the Congregationalist James Fifield, the Methodist Abraham Vereide, and the Baptist Billy Graham—enlisted the pliable Eisenhower, a self-described man of "deeply-felt religious faith," and used his popularity to foment legislative and judicial changes dear to their cause. In return, these media-savvy pastors, along with fellow-traveling capitalists, delivered audiences to any politician blessing their credo. To vote is a faith-based proposition, believing in what the candidate stands for. The outcome was a new corporate-political movement, later termed "Christian libertarianism," which mixed piety and patriotism and trademarked free enterprise as every American's "divine right."
(American Book Review, 35.2, May 13, 2014)
A book that intelligently and capaciously introduces memoir for the general reader is, like a Chicago Cubs pennant or a movie reuniting Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, long overdue. Such a flight I've been expecting, and I'm happy to say the bird has landed. So much about the memoir's individuation in recent years, having gained traction as art and as therapy, C. Thomas Couser addresses. It seems there are few better qualified than he to take on the form. Since the late 1970s, Couser, American Studies professor at Hofstra University, has become a formidable authority on life-writing—with American Autobiography (1979) and Altered Egos (1989), about our national obsession for self-writing; Recovering Bodies (1997) and Signifying Bodies (2009), on the true stories of the ill and disabled; and Vulnerable Subjects (2003), about the ethical landmines authors face, writing about willing and recalcitrant intimates.
(TriQuarterly January 31, 2014)
I'll admit it: I've never understood the prose poem, although it seems to be going strong in its third century. It's the griffin of literature—an amalgam of the two literary arts that neither enhances their respective purposes nor makes the result stronger at the fused place. A definition is not much help; here's the clearest definition I've found in a poetry handbook: "The point seems to be that [any] writing in prose . . . is a poem if the author says so." It's at odds with itself, which, I realize, may be the point. But when I reflect on the prose poem's formlessness, I find it leaves me cold. A few descriptors may explain the chill: the prose poem is blocky, spatially inelegant, print-dependent, unmetered, and unsyllabic.
(Los Angeles Review of Books June 2, 2013)
Lives Nurtured in Disadvantage
If the contemporary reader of nonfiction knows anything about the universe of American literature — or just its prose galaxies — she knows that James Agee and Walker Evans's 1941 Let Us Now Praise Famous Men is our greatest nonfictional failure and the finest book-length lyric essay ever written. Five years in the making, Agee's book was published by Houghton Mifflin (after Harper's dumped it as unwieldy) to scorn, praise, and sales of 600 copies before it went out of print. (Agee didn't endure well, either. He died in 1955 of a heart attack in a New York taxicab after three marriages, alcoholism, chain-smoking, a self-acknowledged crappy diet, and brilliant forays into nearly every form of writing he tackled. He was 45.)

There is this one funny episode of House, M.D. I watched recently.
The tale was about a genius who drugged himself to lower his IQ so that he didn't feel "isolated or lonely".
It's funny because he HAD to do that in order to communicate with his wife, who, according to him, "was so happy and dumb".
Funny, because when he got his gift back, he was no longer in love with the wife.
Funny, because it proves my theory that you have to be a fool to be deeply in love. OR, vice versa, you'll be one once you're madly in love.
But eventually,
Yea. Say it. "You cynical, cold-hearted b."
I get used to it.

The Sun-Herald
CAR: SAAB 9-3 SE Convertible
PHILOSOPHY: Tanning accessory for short Swedish summers.
WHO'S BUYING IT: Women!
WHY YOU'D BUY IT: Looks the part and the badge says you are far too tasteful to buy anything as gauche as a BMW.
WHY YOU WOULDN'T: Doesn't drive as smoothly as it looks. Nose-heavy handling, less than supple ride on anything but smooth roads and coarse kickback through the steering wheel.
STANDARD EQUIPMENT: Cruise control, leather trim, temperature-selectable air conditioning, power steering, electric windows (with one-touch activation for all four panes) and power mirrors. Folding roof is first class, fully lined, power operated and fitted with glass rear window and demister.
SAFETY: The full catastrophe with dual front and side air bags, anti-whiplash head restraints, pre-tensioner seat belts and anti-lock brakes all housed in a stronger body. Pop-up anti-roll over bars are a significant exclusion.
CABIN: Familiar Saab furniture is deft and intelligent in its design, making the cockpit a pleasant place to be. However, Swedish logic means if the roof is down you can't turn on the heater! The explanation: the climate control sensors are programmed to believe that if it's cold outside you won't have the roof down. The trick is to turn the heater on before you lower the roof.
SEATING: Supportive buckets with built-in heating and good adjustment.
ENGINE: Soft-pressure, 2-litre turbo means good whoosh factor without being silly. Loads of overtaking surge hidden in bald figures which read 136kW and 263Nm (at a barely ticking 2,100rpm) for the manual. The automatic version is toned down to 230Nm.
TRANSMISSION: Five-speed manual or four-speed automatic.
STEERING: Leatherbound wheel with tidy, 10.5m turning circle and just three turns lock-to-lock. Power assistance means parking is easy but the 9-3 has noticeable kickback and road shock through the column.
RIDE: See above. On potholed bitumen or uneven surfaces the 9-3 loses some composure. On well-maintained roads it's fine. Commendable work has been done on stiffening up the body.
HANDLING: An acquired taste. Saab front-wheel drive is fail-safe but nose heavy, not very communicative or exciting. This convertible is a cruiser, not a GT.
FUEL: Expect 12 litres per 100km in the city and about 7.0 on the highway. Add a litre more for the auto.
BRAKES: Four-wheel discs with the latest Bosch four-channel, anti-lock system. No complaints.
BUILD: A huge improvement over the rattle-prone 900 convertible launched in 1994. Although it's substantially the same body there are more than 1,100 mechanical changes.
WARRANTY: Three years/100,000 kms. Old 900 was a year shorter. What's that tell you?
ANTI-THEFT: Remote central locking, dead latch hardware and engine immobiliser offer excellent protection.
AUDIO SYSTEM: Six speakers with a boot-mounted stacker plus single disc player.
For $83,900 the 9-3 SE is expensive. The lesser-powered 2.3-litre, non-turbo model costs only $65,400.
A big improvement that will please Saabophiles but the 9-3 feels a generation behind Saab's larger 9-5 range. As an image statement it offers style, savvy and street cred. Judged against other Euro convertibles on a nuts and bolts scorecard it's better ... but not best.

Detailed Itinerary
Day 1 to 1 - Arrive Lima
The first day of your tour is simply an arrival day with no pre-organised activities. In order to allow time to relax and see some of the sights you may wish to add pre tour accommodation. On arrival please ask at the reception for information on when the pre departure meeting will be held.
Lima was founded by the Spanish Conquistador Francisco Pizarro in 1535 after he eradicated the Incas and made the city his capital. Lima has many fine colonial buildings and some of the best museums in South America including the Gold Museum, Museum of the Inquisition and the Catacombs below the San Francisco Church. Peru's capital has much to offer and many of the sights, including the city's two main squares the Plaza de Armas and Plaza San Martin, boast some fantastic sightseeing opportunities. The Plaza de Armas houses the Cathedral, Municipal Palace and Presidential Palace where the changing of the guard can be seen every day at 12 noon. There are also many markets in Lima, possibly the best being in the central district.
Optional Excursions: Museum Inquisition – free • Monastery and Catacombs – US$3 guided tour • Plaza San Martin, one of the largest and most impressive squares • Paragliding – US$60 • Magic water circuit park (largest water fountain park in the world) – US$2 plus taxi
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 2 to 2 - Cuzco
Having spent the previous day exploring Lima's bustling capital city, we take a flight to Cuzco, where you have the rest of the day free to explore the fascinating ancient capital. We recommend taking a city tour, so that you see as much of the city as possible in the time available
The oldest continuously inhabited city in South America, Cuzco was the hub of the Incan Empire and features a population of around 300,000, most of who are indigenous. This marvellous colonial city is situated 3,310 metres above sea level and has numerous churches, some of which were built using recycled Inca masonry, as were many other buildings in Cuzco. The main square is called the Plaza de Armas, which has the beautiful cathedral on one side, which took a century to build, and the Church of La Compañia de Jesus on the other. The colonial arcades, which occupy the remainder of the plaza, are full of restaurants and shops. If you're in the mood for a cultural experience, take a peek inside the 14th-century Inca palace which was later converted into the city's Museo de Arte Religioso (Museum of Religious Art). Well worth exploring during your time here is the ancient archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman, which has the largest and most impressive Inca stonework of all.
The city also boasts the San Pedro market, where all kinds of textiles and artisan merchandise are sold, and you can enjoy a fresh fruit juice made by one of the welcoming locals. Or you can simply enjoy wandering the cobbled streets, enjoy a cup of coca tea in a local café and soak up the friendly atmosphere.
Optional Excursions: Cuzco Visitor Ticket, this gives access to most museums and monuments – US$45 • Salt Terraces Maras Moray – US$30 • Massages – US$25/hr • City tour – US$25
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 3 to 3 - Machu Picchu
The Lost City of Machu Picchu was originally completely self-contained, surrounded by agricultural terraces sufficient to feed the population, and watered by natural springs. Located high above the fast flowing Urubamba River, the cloud shrouded ruins have palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and some 150 houses, all in a remarkable state of preservation that will simply take your breath away.
The ruins were only discovered by the outside world in 1911, when American explorer Hiram Bingham found them while looking for another "lost city" called Vilcabamba. Due to their isolation many of the buildings are still quite intact and you can't help but admire Huayna Picchu ("Young Mountain"), which towers above the ruins. After a guided tour learning about the fascinating history of the Lost City, you have the rest of the day to meander around the ruins or enjoy some free time exploring the local markets in Aguas Calientes, before enjoying a scenic train ride back to the Sacred Valley where our transfer to Cuzco will be waiting.
Included Excursions: Guided Tour of Machu Picchu
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 4 to 4 - Sacred Valley of the Incas
A full day is spent visiting the Sacred Valley of the Incas before retuning to Cuzco. At an altitude of 3800m we take slow walks that take up to an hour, around each of the ruins in order to manage any effects the high altitude may have. Firstly we visit the Pisac ruins, perched on a hilltop with incredible views of the surrounding mountains. We then go down to the famous traditional market of the same name, which is full of colour and atmosphere. A great place for souvenirs! After lunch, we continue along the valley to the temple/fortress of Ollantaytambo with its enormous Inca terracing constructed on the side of a steep mountain.
Included Excursions: Guided Tour of Sacred Valley of the Incas
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 5 to 6 - Puno & Lake Titicaca
Leaving Cuzco, we'll drive along roads abundant with herds of llamas, alpacas and vicuñas before reaching the Altiplano (high plain) where our journey takes us past hot mineral pools, snow capped mountains and through villages where the locals sell food, fur hats and alpaca sweaters. At the highest point, the La Raya pass at 4,321 metres, you can see the research station for high altitude animals.
The beautiful scenery is continual all the way to Puno on the shores of Lake Titicaca, which at 3,855 metres above sea level, is the highest navigable lake in the world. We'll arrive in time so you can visit the colourful local market.
The next morning we depart Puno for our full day excursion on Lake Titicaca. We visit the floating Uros islands in the Bay of Puno, which are constructed by the islanders using reeds that grow in the shallow waters of the bay. You will get to meet the families who live on these islands, learning about their way of life and visiting their homes. You will also have the option to ride in a traditional reed boat before continuing our journey to the island of Taquile, a small island 45km offshore from Puno. It is well known for its tradition of intricate textiles and clothing knitted by the male locals. These textiles are regarded among the highest-quality handicrafts in Peru, and you will learn about this important tradition by meeting and interacting with the islanders. You will then have the option to have a lunch made of local produce before returning to Puno.
Included Excursions: Full day excursion on Lake Titicaca
Accommodation: 2 night(s) in hotels
Day 7 to 8 - La Paz
Built in a steep valley that protects the city from the harsh elements of the Altiplano, just about every building in La Paz is built on some sort of hill, so sightseeing will literally take your breath away! You will have two days to explore La Paz and it's bustling atmosphere. Our hotel is very centrally located and is just around the corner from the city's colourful indigenous street markets including the fascinating and suitably named "Witches Market'' where local women in traditional 'Cholita' dress sell such items as dead cats and llamas foetuses said to ward off evil spirits. The main square, Plaza Murillo, is also within walking distance. The square still retains its colonial buildings including the Presidential Palace. La Paz is possibly the best place to experience a traditional peña show of Andean music and dance to local bands playing time-honoured instruments such as zampoñas (pipes) and charangos (the ukulele).
Optional Excursions: Red Caps walking tours – Bs.20 • Death Road – US$110
Accommodation: 2 night(s) in hotels
Day 9 to 9 - Uyuni
We fly from La Paz to Uyuni, in the South West corner of Bolivia. If it is a clear day, you will be able to see the huge expanse of the Altiplano as you fly over the landlocked country, perhaps seeing the Andes slowly flattening out to become the Amazonian basin, which spreads to the far East of the country, to the border with Brazil.
Please note: During the winter months of May-August temperatures of the Altiplano can be extremely cold, so please be prepared and pack warm clothes
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 10 to 10 - Uyuni (Salt Flats)
The next morning we embark on an exhilarating three day 4WD tour to explore the Salar de Uyuni and the striking landscapes that surround it. First on the agenda is a visit to the Train Cemetery, where you can see the remains of 19th and early 20th century steam locomotives - a good place for artistic photographs. We will then come to Colchani, the main plant for the iodisation of salt and the best place to observe the methods of salt extraction from the salar. Here ovens are used to dry the salt, which is then formed into cakes. From here we drive onto the Salt Flats themselves. Claimed to be the largest salt flat in the world, the brilliant white vast Salar de Uyuní, which covers some 10,500 square kilometres and is estimated to contain 10 billion tons of salt, looks like something from a surrealist painting and its seemingly infinite horizons will amaze you. The highlight of the day is Fish Island (seasonal dependent). Located in the centre of the Salar, 100 kilometres from Uyuní, this hilly outpost is covered in giant cacti amid a flat, white sea of hexagonal salt tiles. The island is so named because it has the shape of a fish. The otherworldly views from Fish Island will take your breath away, with the brilliant blue sky (weather permitting of course) contrasting with the pure white of the salt flats.
Please Note: Occasionally in the rainy season the salt flats become overly flooded and we may have to alter the itinerary if the salt flats are not safe to traverse. Your tour leader will advise as early as possible if this is likely to happen on your tour.
Included Excursions: Visit the Salar de Uyuní salt flats
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in basic, multi-share hostels with limited facilities
Day 11 to 11 - Laguna Colorada
We continue south on our epic 4WD expedition, into some of the most remote areas of the Bolivian Altiplano. You will see a variety of dramatic landscapes including smoking volcanoes, barren deserts and gravity-defying rock formations carved by the wind. In this incredibly empty landscape you'll most likely feel the furthest from civilisation you've ever been. You will visit the Laguna Colorada, which offers some truly breathtaking scenery, with several varieties of flamingos gathering in the shallow waters of the beautiful crimson lagoon.
Included Excursions: Entrance to Laguna Colorada National Park
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in basic, multi-share hostels with limited facilities
Day 12 to 13 - San Pedro de Atacama
We visit the volcanic zone 'Sol de Mañana' (Morning Sun) at 4,850 metres above sea level. Here you'll discover a geyser basin with bubbling mud pots, hellish fumaroles and a thick aroma of sulphur fumes. Inside a small crater we will observe boiling lava and we will also stop at hot springs where you can bathe. Crossing a 5,000 metre pass we come to the beautiful Laguna Verde, which is shadowed by the cone of the Licancabur Volcano. Continuing on we will cross into Chile and come to San Pedro de Atacama in the world's driest desert. The area is famous for the salt-covered lunar landscapes, geysers, salt flats and hot springs of the Valley of the Moon, which we will explore by 4WD. There is an excellent archaeological museum at San Pedro de Atacama, housing a good selection of ancient artefacts.
San Pedro de Atacama is a picturesque small town that looks like it has come straight from the scene of a Western with its single-storey buildings, white-washed walls and dusty roads. Due to its remote location and dry climate, the Atacama desert offers some of the clearest skies in the world and as such is used by international space agencies to monitor the skies. If you are lucky enough to have clear nights during your stay in San Pedro de Atacama, the starscape will most likely be the best you'll ever see.
Included Excursions: Guided tour of the Valley of the Moon
Accommodation: 2 night(s) in hotels
Day 14 to 14 - Santiago
We fly to the sprawling metropolis of Santiago. If it is a clear day, you will have astounding views of the capital and the surrounding mountains as you come in to land. You are free to explore this cosmopolitan city at your own pace.
For the best views of the city, take a funicular railway to the top of San Cristobal where the Statue of the Virgin overlooks the capital and the distant Andes. Here you can taste some of Chile's best wines and find some beautifully situated swimming pools. Santiago is a very clean, modern city with many fountains and parks, and is well-renowned for its markets such as the famous Mercado Central, one of the best seafood markets in the world. In the Plaza Constitución at the Palacio de la Moneda you can see the changing of the guard on most days.
Optional Excursions: Museo Histórico Nacional – US$1 • Teatro Municipal, with daily shows ranging from opera, ballet, orchestras and concerts – from US$3-12 • Maipo region winery tours – US$18-50
Accommodation: 1 night(s) in hotels
Day 15 to 15 - Depart Santiago
Your adventure of a lifetime comes to an end today. If you have a late flight or have lengthened your stay by adding post tour accommodation you will have more time to explore the sights.

Top Places to Visit in 2014
If you are looking for some exciting places to visit in 2014, here are some suggestions.
1. Sikkim – Lonely Planet's leading global travel guide "Best in Travel 2014" has listed top 10 travel destinations to visit in 2014, under different categories, such as, best cities to visit, best countries to visit, and so on. According to the travel guide, Sikkim has been selected as the best region to visit in 2014. "Picking up national accolades in 2012 for being India's cleanest state with the most innovative tourism project, Sikkim has set new benchmarks for responsible travel in the country," says the guide. A new airport has been scheduled to open near Gangtok, the capital of Sikkim, in 2014. As such, travellers would be able to reach Sikkim directly by air from most of the Indian metro cities.
Located in the Himalayan Mountains, Sikkim is bordered by Nepal, China's Tibet Autonomous Region, the Indian state of West Bengal, and Bhutan. Sikkim is popular for its culture, scenic beauty, and biodiversity. Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak of the world is located in the border areas of Sikkim.
2. Kerala – Known as "God's own country," Kerala is situated on the tropical Malabar Coast of south-western India. Kerala has been named as one of the paradises of the world by the National Geographic Traveller. Kerala has a long coastline dotted with many sandy beaches, such as, Kovalam, Kappad Alappuzha Beach, Nattika beach, and Vadanappilly beach. You can also plan a trip to Kerala's the popular hill stations, such as Munnar, Vagamon, Wayanad, and Nelliyampathi.
3. Karnataka – The eighth largest state in India, Karnataka, has been listed in Lonely Planet's Best Value Travel Destinations for 2014. The fall of the rupee against dollar has made India a budget vacation destination. For budget travellers who are planning to visit India, Karnataka would be a better choice than the popular Goa, which is no longer a budget destination, especially if you are travelling in the peak season. From fishing harbours to forests, serene beaches, ancient sculptured temples, and the inland temple town of Hampi, Karnataka has a lot to offer to the laid-back travellers.
4. Himachal Pradesh – Located in the foothills of the Himalayas, Himachal Pradesh is a state in Northern India. Whether you are looking for an adventure tour or want to get up close and personal with nature, Himachal Pradesh is the place to visit. With its series of valleys and snow covered peaks, the place has a lot to offer to nature lovers. Some popular hill stations to visit in this Indian state include Shimla, Manali, Dalhousie, Barog, Kufri, and Mcleodganj.
Apart from these four regions, there are several other places to visit in India in 2014. From the lush green Kaziranga National Park in Assam to the famous Loktak Lake in Manipur, there are many unexplored tourist destinations in this part of the country.

Sir Kenneth Branagh's career hailed at London Critics' Circle Film Awards
Sir Kenneth Branagh has picked up the top accolade at the London Critics' Circle Film Awards.
The Belfast-born actor and director attended the awards as he received the Dilys Powell Award for excellence in film, which was presented by Dame Judi Dench.
The awards at London's May Fair Hotel are voted for by 140 members of the Critics' Circle Film Section.
Branagh whose most recent credits include the 2015 live action adaptation of Cinderella starring Lily James as the princess which opened in the number one spot at the UK box office.
Also starring Cate Blanchett and Helena Bonham Carter it took more than £288m worldwide.
He is known for his stage and film work - particularly for his cinema adaptations of Shakespeare, and the formation of his own Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company in London.
Earlier, Kate Winslet backed her Titanic co-star Leonardo DiCaprio to win his first Oscar at next month's ceremony.
The actress said she would be "surprised" if The Revenant star did not receive the Best Actor award after missing out with his previous five Oscar nominations.
"I think it probably will be (Leonardo)," she said.
"I think you can sort of feel it and I think everyone wants it for him. It would be amazing. It's also difficult for me too because Michael Fassbender is also nominated and I was his right hand woman for three months making Steve Jobs. I saw how hard he worked and I thought his performance was extraordinary.
"But you can feel the temperature and it's probably going to be Leo's year."
Belfast Telegraph

Goyder surveyed land areas which were 10 miles square, these 100 square mile land blocks were called Goyder's Hundreds. Over 1,000 half acre allotments were created, set out in a grid pattern surrounding a central square and other parkland. Growth was mostly slow, but at times fitful until the post-war years. Darwin was attacked 64 times during World War II and suffered tremendous damage. Darwin was devastated by Cyclone Tracy in 1974, after which it was significantly rebuilt. The population has increased substantially since the mid 1990s, more than doubling between 1996 and 2011 as large numbers of new dwellings were added to the area, mainly townhouses and high rise units.

Rwanda has accused soldiers from Democratic Republic of Congo of "provocation" after a group crossed the border, leading to clashes along the volatile area.
One of the Congolese soldiers was shot dead, while a Rwandan was wounded in the exchange of fire, a Rwandan military spokesman said. A Congolese spokesman said the clash came after the Congolese soldiers crossed the border to buy beer.
Rwanda denies backing DR Congo rebels. Some 500,000 people have fled their homes in eastern DR Congo since April, when the M23 group took up arms.
The UN has accused Rwanda of backing the group - Rwanda twice invaded its much larger neighbour during the 1990s and was accused of looting eastern DR Congo's rich mineral resources.
Rwandan military spokesman Brig Gen Joseph Nzabamwita said soldiers from DR Congo's armed forces (FARDC) had crossed the border on a reconnaissance mission, reports Reuters news agency.
"This is a provocative act of the FARDC. They want to draw Rwanda into their internal problems but Rwanda has always said we will not escalate the problem," he said.
Congolese army spokesman Col Olivier Hamuli said a Rwandan soldier had also been killed but this was denied by Brig Gen Nzabamwita, reports the AFP news agency. The clash is said to have occurred near Kibumba, 13km (8 miles) north of the Congolese city of Goma.
Rwanda is widely seen as having backed armed groups in eastern DR Congo as a way of tackling Hutu fighters who fled there after the 1994 genocide. Both Rwanda and the M23 rebels, now known as the Congolese Revolutionary Army, are led by ethnic Tutsis.

The rain didn't stop the people of Starbeck turning out for the annual gala on Bank Holiday Monday.
At midday the Mayor of Harrogate, Coun Robert Windass accompanied by his wife Sylvia officially opened the gala.
This was followed by last year's gala queen Katie McKee handing over her crown to Melissa Pearson, who will be Starbeck gala queen for the next 12 months, along with her attendant Jade Watts.
There was lots going on over the afternoon including the bonny baby competition, go-karts, dog shows, Punch and Judy, and a new addition this year, Elmo the miniature Shetland pony – who was a big hit.
The field was full of stalls and people, which was heartwarming to see considering the weather.
This just shows that the people of Starbeck are made of strong stuff.
All money raised will go towards the Starbeck Christmas lights, so I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who helped, and the people of Starbeck for showing their support.

The legendary comedic duo Abbott and Costello provide fairy tale fun for kids. The wacky pair pretty much stick to the outline of the original, but add their own signature comic flourishes and slapstick details. Jack is a local farmer who is asked to buy a cow at the local market with his family's last few coins. He is tricked into swapping the cow for some beans which he takes home and plants. In the morning he finds that a giant beanstalk has grown high into the sky.

How living organisms create carbon-sulfur bonds during the biosynthesis of critical sulfur-containing compounds is still poorly understood. The methylthiotransferases MiaB and RimO catalyze sulfur insertion into tRNAs and ribosomal protein S12, respectively. Both belong to a subgroup of radical-S-adenosylmethionine (radical-SAM) enzymes that bear two [4Fe-4S] clusters. One cluster binds S-adenosylmethionine and generates an Ado• radical via a well-established mechanism. However, the precise role of the second cluster is unclear. For some sulfur-inserting radical-SAM enzymes, this cluster has been proposed to act as a sacrificial source of sulfur for the reaction. In this paper, we report parallel enzymological, spectroscopic and crystallographic investigations of RimO and MiaB, which provide what is to our knowledge the first evidence that these enzymes are true catalysts and support a new sulfation mechanism involving activation of an exogenous sulfur cosubstrate at an exchangeable coordination site on the second cluster, which remains intact during the reaction. © 2013 Nature America, Inc.

Our troops in Iraq have done their duty with honor and courage and they have paid a terrible price in blood. Now, after eight years, we are well into the process of leaving Iraq and have transitioned to a counter-terrorism and training mission to support the continued evolution of Iraqi security forces. Schiff for years maintained that there could be no military solution to Iraq's civil war in the middle part of the last decade and supports the return of American troop, with all American forces due to be redeployed by the end of 2011.

Moving can be such a stressful time. There are so many things to take care of when planning a big move. We just moved into a new home, and I was amazed at how many things we either forgot to do or put off until the last minute. Here is a condensed list of things to remember to do for your move!
Plan for the big day
- Rent a U-Haul truck, or make plans to use friends' trucks. Make sure to reserve the trucks ahead of time to make sure you will be set for the big day.
- Have plenty of boxes, stuffing, and packing tape ahead of time to make for easier packing.
- Consider renting or buying accessories for moving such as forearm straps, etc.
- Ask friends ahead of time if they can help you or consider paying movers to help you out. We typically have friends help us move and then pay them with really good food, beer, and of course, offer to help them in the future!
- This gets to be no fun. Because you don't just have to change your address once at the post office, but pretty much everywhere you have a file. Update your address with your credit card companies, banks, student loan companies… just to name a few. Also remember to head to the Division of Motor Vehicle to change your address on your drivers license, too! (Some states you can do it online, yay).
- We moved far enough away that I will need to change my dentist, family practice, and gym. Part of the "fun" is being a new customer again and picking places that suit my families' needs. Shop around for a great rec center, park, and grocery store.
- I am also looking forward to joining a MOPS group in my neighborhood and also joining a local bible study. I will be looking into fun ways to connect with people in my neighborhood.
- It is important to remember to transfer services like trash, sewage, gas, electric companies, and internet/ cable. Often times doing it ahead of time is the best strategy to avoid delays.
- Packing a bag of clean clothes, toiletries, and essentials is a great idea for the week of the move.
- Keep a box nearby of cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet paper, rags, and hand wash. Often times these things get packed during a move, which can be so frustrating!

Posts Tagged 'Lucy Mason'
Arizona has had a lively Republican primary this year. Here are my endorsements for statewide office:
Governor – Doug Ducey
Doug Ducey is the most exciting candidate for Governor we in Arizona have had in a long, long time. This is an easy call. Why? He is a successful business leader, a strong conservative, a man of faith, and, most of all, a genuinely great human being. And, his opponents just don't stack up.
*Disclaimer – I am the Chairman of Conservative Leadership for Arizona, an Independent Expenditure Committee formed to support Doug Ducey for Governor. Of course, I wouldn't have done that if I didn't completely support Doug, but figured I'd give the disclaimer anyway.
Secretary of State – Justin Pierce
Pierce is a very capable leader who is an up-and-comer in Republican politics. He deserves your vote.
Wil Cardon does not rise to the level of a serious candidate.
Attorney General – Mark Brnovich
I have often commented that Mark Brnovich will be the most qualified individual to ever walk into the AG's office on the first day. He is a constitutional scholar, a former prosecutor, former head of a state department, and a tireless advocate for freedom. He will be a breath of fresh air so sorely needed in the AG's office.
Tom Horne has abused his office and, if by some miracle he wins the primary, will lose badly to Democrat candidate Felicia Rotellini in the General Election.
*Disclaimer – Mark Bronivch is a client of my firm, DC London. For what it's worth, I was supportive of Mark running for AG long before he became a client.
State Treasurer – Jeff DeWit
Current State Treasurer Doug Ducey has done a great job running the treasurer's office, but if you listened to Hugh Hallman or Randy Pullen, you'd think it was a mess. Jeff DeWit is the only candidate who acknowledges that things are working well in the treasurer's office and will carry that legacy forward. He has the right kind of background for managing the state's investments and will serve well. He is another strong rising star for the Republican Party.
Corporation Commission – Doug Little and Tom Forese
The corporation commission race this year is a team effort. Doug Little and Tom Forese are running as a team and Lucy Mason and Vernon Parker are running as a team.
The Mason/Parker team feels like the resurrection of the Democrat team from 2012 of Busching, Newman and Kennedy that dubbed themselves "Arizona's Solar Team." Mason and Parker are unabashedly supportive of taxpayers subsidizing the solar industry and have been supported by the solar industry. Billionaire crony king, Elon Musk, is the majority shareholder of a company called SolarCity – a rooftop solar system leasing company that is completely dependent on government subsidies to stay afloat.
Given my strong opposition to subsidies and special treatment by government, I think it would be bad for Arizona to elected Mason and Parker.

Do you take your child to the park or playground? I've often wondered if they have become obsolete and replaced by video games. I can count on one hand the number of times that I've taken the children to park and there has been other children there. Do parents know the importance of a playground and its benefit to our children.
Children are encouraged to engage in free play on playgrounds. Free play is simply children playing, running, climbing and using their imagination. We may not think of early childhood development while we're at the playground, but developing our children must be considered in just about everything that we do as parents. Although we have a swing set in the backyard for Xavier and Zarriah, we do take them to the park for exercise and interaction with other children.
- Physical benefit – All children need to exercise for good health and to fight obesity.
- Helps develop children emotionally – Children can learn to understand and control their emotions on the playground. They may fall and cry, they may find something funny or get angry. This is a perfect opportunity to teach them about being happy, sad or whatever they're feeling.
- Helps develop social skills – Children must learn to socialize to be successful as an adult. Playing on a playground allows children to join in with others, share, and learn how to be a good sport. They may be teased, have another child cut in front of them etc., but it's a perfect opportunity to teach them how to resolve problems they may encounter.
- Helps develop large motor skills – Children develop and strengthen motor skills from birth to 6 years. This includes rolling over, walking, learning to hold a pencil or crayons, using scissors, these are fine motor skills. Large motor skills are developed by using muscles in the arms, legs etc. Climbing, jumping, using the monkey bars etc. will help with these skills. It will also assist children with learning to keep their balance and playing in organized sports.
- Helps develop cognitive skills – Children need to develop their brain so they will learn how to remember, solve problems, work on perception and it assists them with their attention span.
Research by The Shasta Children and Families First Commission (SCFFC) has shown that brain development is crucial in a child's earliest years. It's imperative that children develop interaction through free play in the first six years of their life, and playgrounds are an appropriate area to develop these skills. Research also reveals that children who have poorly developed motor-skills by age five will most likely never have efficient motor-skills.
The paternal grandparents purchased a play ground set similar to the one at the park for the backyard when time isn't on our side. Xavier is getting older now, so he's more into organized activities like football, basketball and swimming. We'll be using the set for Zarriah, she's 2 now. I believe my grandson is advanced in many areas, and I believe a big reason he is advanced is because we focused on all of his developmental skills. We will be using the same plan for Zarriah. Utilizing the playground to develop skills is not a new concept. I used it for my daughter, who is shown in the pictures. She was and still is a social butterfly, she excelled in dance and cheerleading (organized activity) and higher academics.
Early childhood development is essential for all children. If you can't afford a backyard set, know that it is imperative that you set time aside during the upcoming spring and summer days to work on your child's developmental needs. The physical, emotional, cognitive, motor and social skills in your child's early years will affect everything they do later in their life. Do you spend time at the park with your children?

Think Twice About El Raval
Long overlooked and often avoided, El Raval has had a bad reputation thus far! Veering left from Las Ramblas should be an exciting option for tourists and expats alike given its authentic Barcelona identity. While the more reserved and unexciting folk might prefer to steer clear and miss out on it's many hidden gems, El Raval is the place to go for the fun-lovers who are young at heart (oldies permitted!)
With two of our very own Casamona bad apples now living in El Raval, we feel that the time is right to share our knowledge of this particular part of Barcelona. To begin we will appreciate the excellent location of El Raval, in close proximity to the harbour and beach, El Gotico, Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya along with Eixample that spreads northward. Undoubtedly this is an enormous bonus that comes with living in this barrio. Nevertheless this blog doesn't have the time to write about the over publicised tourist attractions that everyone knows how to find outside of El Raval; instead it will be dedicated to the underestimated treasures that lie within.
Eateries galore!
Are you a food fiend? So are we and let us tell you why Raval satisfies our crippling needs. When it comes to a revitalising but most importantly dangerously tasty weekend brunch, drop everything you are doing and head to Flax & Kale (Carrer dels Tallers, 74). NB meat lovers you may want to skip a few lines, veggie-heads pay attention! This restaurant is located in northern Raval and has an amazing rooftop where you can enjoy the fresh air and fresh food. On the weekends and bank holidays they offer brunch from 10am-5pm with friendly prices for plates and drinks to cure your stinking hangover and invigorate you for a day of fun.
Next up – meat lovers continue here – we have Can Lluis located in the heart of El Raval (Carrer de la Cera, 49). Here you will find yourself sat in what almost feels like someone's home surrounded by the locals. On offer is a variety of authentic, catalan style tapas with recipes that have been passed down three generations to please all who enter this charming little restaurant.
Busy Bars
For all the G&T aficionados out there, stop by Pesca Salada (Carrer de la Cera, 32) to enjoy a couple of the undisputed best gin and tonics in Barcelona. Once a fishmonger, they decided to keep the name but strip away the fishy smell and produce and in their place offer up a selection of drinks and cocktails. It can get busy here so get in early to secure your place for some reasonably priced yet delicious beverages.
If you are cool, or you want to become even cooler, we present you with Cassette Bar (Carrer de l'Est, 11). It's located off the beaten tourist path and it's likely you will be surrounded by groups of friendly locals. The drinks are fantastic and made even better by the free tapas that comes with each one. The bar staff are always welcoming and their selection of alternative music matched with the unique decor makes Cassette Bar the ultimate hipster's paradise.
But what club are we going to?
We're going to Sala Apolo (Carrer Nou de la Rambla, 113), case closed! Arguably Barcelona's best club – maybe a close 2nd place behind Razzmatazz – Sala Apolo is located on the edge of El Raval but only a short walk away for anyone living in the barrio. It boasts an excellent roster of DJ's and bands, electro and rock, old and new. For those who need to be seen in a fashionable club, Sala Apolo is not for you. This is a place for music lovers who need to unwind and enjoy themselves after a hard day/week. Do not miss out!

High flyin' through the Andes.
San Pedro de Atacama Travel Blog› entry 8 of 13 › view all entries
September 18th, 2007 – by: cmgervais
I had a slight crosswind, and my take off felt a little sluggish to me. We climbed slowly and steadily to 10,500 feet. My previous high had been 9,500 in the Cirrus, so this was exciting! The airplane had no problem with this altitude. And it was fine at 12,500 ... and 13,500... and then 14,300! I was ultra alert, on the lookout for signs of altitude sickness, since the cabin is not pressurized. Flying that high, and fighting turbulence was somewhat grueling, but all was well. I was flying through the Andes mountains! Incredible experience.
It was a 2.5 hour flight (felt like 5), and when we arrived at San Pedro de Atacama airport, the wind sock was broken. We did some turns to determine the wind direction (I was flying almost completely under Mario's direction at this point), and then I did the traffic pattern...at 9,500 feet! Unbelievable, especially for a midwestern flyer used to 700 foot elevations! The airport is at 8,000 feet, and I did the landing without assistance. It seemed a little sloppy and flat to me, but both Mario and Leo exclaimed and complimented me on a difficult landing well done. I'll take that!
At this point I was completely exhausted and literally could have napped right there on the tarmac. Happily our taxi arrived very quickly, so we secured the airplane and headed off to the hotel.
San Pedro is rough and rustic, with lots of adobe, and dirt streets. It's a little Queenstown-adventurish, with lots of tour/adventure outfitters, and hoardes of people in grubby clothes walking around like they are ready to climb a cliff or jump off a bridge at a moment's notice. I think we will really like it here.
Our hotel, La Casa de Don Thomas, is pretty plain, and nothing special really. The bed sure looked good to me: I wanted to go immediately to sleep. But it was only 3pm, and we hadn't had lunch - travesty! So off we went. Mario knew of a good spot, Adobo Cafe, which also happened to be in Fodor's. We sat in the courtyard and enjoyed the beautiful weather in our tank tops. There was actually more than one vegetarian option, and I opted for the goat cheese quesadilla and a Mexican salad, which was very good.
At some point during the meal, perhaps it was on his lengthy oration on EGT (exhaust gas temp) and mixture leaning, I realized I HAD to have a break from Leo. He is soooo nice, but oy! He doesn't shut up, ever. So after dinner, girls went one way, guys went another, and Lisa I did a little sight seeing and ended up at a cafe/bar in the Plazas des Armas. While we sat with our chilly beverages, Lisa's cell phone rang ... it was her dad calling by mistake! So I called my mom and dad and told them about flying through the Andes. They were duly impressed.

I love all the blogs out there with great crayon roll tutorials. I've wanted to make one forever, but time always got in the way. Not that it takes more then like 5 minutes to make. But alas...anyway. I finally got around to it. And naturally, it had to be boyish and football. So here it is. It really turned out great.
Naturally we have BSU colors as well.
Loads of crayons!

A Moncton judge has thrown out a request by a business woman to find out who mailed an anonymous letter to every Dieppe household during the municipal election in May.
Andrée Savoie, the president of Acadian Construction, said the letter defamed her and the company and she wanted the judge to force Canada Post to reveal who had mailed it.
Judge Jean-Paul Ouellette agreed that Savoie would feel scandalized by the letter, which was sent by a group calling itself Concerned Citizens of Dieppe.
The letter said Yvon Lapierre, who was running for mayor, had given contracts to build city hall to close friends during an earlier term as mayor. (Lapierre was elected as the city's mayor on May 14.)
The letter also said a company called Place 1604 was created to get around the public tendering process.
Savoie's lawyer argued that was defamatory, especially since his client was the president of Place 1604.
He asked the judge for a court order to get the names of whoever mailed the anonymous letter, otherwise he argued his client had no way of knowing who to sue.
But the judge disagreed with the lawyer's argument.
Ouellette said he felt the courts must protect freedom of expression, especially during an election campaign.
The judge noted the letter never mentioned Savoie or Acadian Construction by name. He said that was enough to dismiss the case.
Ouellette did add that the people who were named, Yvon Lapierre and the company Place 1604, might be able to sue. However, he noted they weren't part of the case.
