TAVARES — When Janet Lovett took her 7-year-old son to the city's Splash Park this spring, she never thought police would slap handcuffs on her and haul her off to the Lake County Jail after her T-shirt and bra became wet.
Lovett was arrested because she refused to give an officer her name after she was told to cover up. She was booked on a misdemeanor count of obstructing an officer without violence. However, the State Attorney's Office declined to file charges.
Last week, the 36-year-old Eustis homemaker informed Tavares that she intends to sue the city for malicious prosecution, false arrest, battery and violation of her civil rights in connection with the flap at Wooton Park.
"She was minding her own business," Winter Park attorney Howard Marks, who is representing Lovett, said Thursday. "She was taking her child to a splash park and then winds up five hours in jail. That's a bad day."
But Lovett brought on the arrest herself, according to Tavares police Chief Stoney Lubins.
"She was not arrested for anything she was wearing," Lubins said. "The officer just wanted her name and she refused…And she was warned she could be arrested."
On April 24, Lovett kicked off her shoes and joined her son at the Splash Park, which had just recently opened for its first full season. But after her T-shirt and bra became soaked, parents complained to a park employee that the see-through shirt was "offensive," according to a police report.
It's not clear why authorities were called, but park employees told police it was the third time in recent days that Lovett was asked to leave the park because of a wet T-shirt. The $500,000 attraction, which opened in August 2009, features water spouting from pretend animals, cattails and a "seaplane."
Lovett referred questions to Marks, who said his client wrapped a towel around herself and was approached by a Tavares police officer who asked her for her name as she was walking out of the park on the north shore of Lake Dora.
Cpl. Tammy Bozadjian said she needed Lovett's name to put into a city database.
"The defendant [Lovett] became upset and would not provide her information," Bozadjian wrote in the incident report. "I again explained that the information was only for the data base. She again refused to provide the information, stating that she needed to speak with her husband first. I then informed the defendant that if she refused to provide her information that she would be placed under arrest."
Lovett then gave only her first name, questioning the officer why she should also give her last name, too.
Bozadjian tried to place handcuffs on the mother, but she pulled back, according to the report. The officer folded her left arm behind her back.
"I was then able to successfully place her in handcuffs," Bozadjian wrote.
Meanwhile, her husband, Jeff Lovett, watched his wife being arrested while standing outside the park fence.
Marks said police had no legal justification for demanding that Lovett tell the officer her name because there was no evidence she committed or was about to commit a crime.
"What kind of database would they put her in? A database for wet T-shirt wearers?" Marks asked. "She wasn't there to cause trouble…They're either absolutely incompetent or they don't know the law."
Lubins said police asked for her name because they were called out to the park and told that she had been warned before about her attire.
"We would be remiss if we didn't take down her name," he said.
Marks, however, said he wondered if police wanted Lovett's name because they suspected the Peruvian native may be an illegal immigrant. Lovett, a nursing student, has lived in the United States for 15 years and is an American citizen, the attorney said.
According to the letter sent to Tavares, Lovett also may claim monetary and punitive damages from the city for the amount she spent on legal fees and medical bills for bruises and marks on her arms following her arrest.

Elements of Conversion: Repentance
1. The "other Great Commission": Luke 24.44-49 (esp. v. 47)
· "and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem." (v. 47)
2. The book of Acts shows how the early church obeyed and how they preached the gospel.
a. Acts 14.7-18 (Lystra): "preached the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God" (v. 15)
b. Acts 17.16-34 (Athens): "repent, because he has fixed a day in which he will judge the world in righteousness" (vv. 30-31)
· Notice the mention of future judgment as part of Paul's evangelism!
c. Acts 19.8-20 (Ephesus): "Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices." (v. 18)
· Burned magic books in repudiation of their past magic lifestyle.
· This was "fruit" of their repentance: Acts 26.20
d. Acts 20.17-21 (to Ephesian elders): "solemnly testifying to both Jews and Greeks of repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ." (v. 21)
e. Acts 26.12-23 (before King Agrippa): "they should repent and turn to God, performing deeds appropriate to repentance." (v. 20)
3. Paul's writings
a. 1 Thessalonians 1.5-10: "how you turned to God from idols to serve a living and true God" (v. 9)
b. Galatians 4.8-9:
· "when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods"
· "now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God"
· "turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again"
4. Theological reflection on repentance
a. "Repentance may be defined as the conscious turning of the regenerate person away from sin and toward God in a complete change of living, which reveals itself in a new way of thinking, feeling, and willing."[1]
b. "The question has been discussed: which is prior, faith or repentance? It is an unnecessary question and the insistence that one is prior to the other futile. There is no priority. The faith that is unto salvation is a penitent faith and the repentance that is unto life is a believing repentance… The interdependence of faith and repentance can be readily seen when we remember that faith is faith in Christ from sin. But if faith is directed to salvation from sin, there must be hatred of sin and the desire to be saved from it. Such hatred of sin involves repentance which essentially consists in turning from sin unto God. Again, if we remember that repentance is turning from sin unto God, the turning to God implies faith in the mercy of God as revealed in Christ. It is impossible to disentangle faith and repentance. Saving faith is permeated with repentance and repentance is permeated with faith."[2]
5. Application to evangelism
a. Helps us avoid a reductionistic gospel presentation which focuses solely on a change of propositions in a person's thinking
· "Just pray this prayer and you will go to heaven."
· Simply believing certain facts.
b. Keeps us focused on the transforming relationship with King Jesus
· People need to submit their lives to the King and turn from that which is "vanity."
c. Conversion to Christ will involve some level of transformation
· Not perfection but noticeable.
· Not completion but a change of trajectory of one's life.
· "To turn is to reorient oneself—including all of one's hopes and desires—to God. It is act of a moment that changes one's trajectory to and for life."[3]

What is a VGA Driver
VGA in the term VGA Driver stands for Video Graphics Array. VGA driver is a type of device driver that controls a VGA video device. It is located on the computer. Most of the computers are pre- installed with this device while the computers which are not having this device can get it assembled afterwards also. Basically a driver is a type of application software (software is categorized as application software and system software) which runs between the operating system and the hardware so that it can control the data that is flowing between these two. Any peripheral hardware attached to the computer is always controlled with the help of a driver. VGA driver is native to the operating system while some drivers are written by the device manufacturer and are specific to that particular device and cannot be used to control other devices.
VGA standard was introduced in early 1990s and at that time it introduced a 640 x 480 display resolution (means it supported a monitor that was able to display 640 pixels horizontally and 480 pixels vertically). It was one of the first graphics video display standards. Super VGA came into existence in mid 1990s and replaced the simple VGA standard. Some other standards which came in existence later were EGA (enhanced graphics adapter) and Extended Graphics Adapter. Now the resolutions of at least 1024 x 768 and capabilities up to 1600 x 900 display resolution is available and is used widely.
The latest VGA drivers have removed a lot of problems which were caused by earlier VGA drivers. Some of these problems which were removed were:
Compatibility of the driver with operating system is notified before installing the driver. Blue screen of death (BSOD) was fixed which was quite common in earlier versions. Performance was improved while playing blue ray drive. Support for 3D robust performance was introduced. Improved the dongle performance in Display Port.
VGA driver is a part of every Microsoft Windows based computers. Most of the logos of the operating systems which are displayed at the time when no drivers are loaded are displayed only with the help of VGA driver. VGA supports only a 16 color mode and a 256 color mode. Now the VGA drivers have become obsolete and many drivers have advanced in these fields are acts as a replacement for VGA drivers. These drivers are now the least common used drivers for displaying video content.

Happy Spring Y'all! I love the change of seasons and feeling the warmth of spring. Granted, I live in Texas where it truly never gets too cold. However, this winter has felt colder and longer than usual. I am constantly sharing great finds with friends, my husband always warns my new friend's husbands about me. I am always telling them about a great purchase and I really excited when I find a great deal! Who doesn't!! Aliza, is my name and I am so excited to finally have a moment to blog! Living in Midland, Texas has lots of pros, but one major con is the lack of home decor stores! I have had to turn to the internet and be brave enough to order furniture online. I must say so far I have been very pleased!! I have used the chair featured above in many clients homes, including my own. It is at a great price point and the lines are fabulous! I have young children and it even withstands their dirty hands. It is found at http://www.homedecorators.com/P/Moore_Wingback_Chair/440/
and definitely a chair worth Craving.
A client recently wanted a dining room table that was different than the usual stand by, brown wood table. We ordered this table through Ballard Designs, another online company.
http://www.ballarddesigns.com/messina-dining-table-76-22/furniture/category/dining-kitchen/dining-tables/292540 It is such a great statement piece. In the picture it pulls a country feel, however it can be transitional. We put it in a Contemporary space and it looks fabulous! The top is zinc sheeting and the bottom solid hardwood that is distressed white. It can be formal or casual.
(We not receive any compensation by promoting these products, they are based on my opinion:)

What is Microblading?
Microblading is a form of tattoo artistry with a manual hand-held tool. Hair-like strokes are created with the tool to mimic natural hairs in your brows. Procedure takes approximately 2.5 hours and may last up to 3 years!
A Microblading Treatment can restore eyebrows to their former glory, or bring symmetry to an uneven facial feature. Micro cuts are applied to the brow area to recreate fine hair strokes in order to make the brows thicker, darker, or more pronounced. Microblading is a safe alternative to thin brows that simply do not fit your face as you age.
Color Boost The color boost treatment is a follow up microblade treatment which adds color to any strokes which faded during the healing phase. After the skin is healed from the inside out, new strokes can be added to complete the brow and finish the service. Color boosts are essential to the completion of microblading because it truly makes the eyebrows pop.
Ombre Brows
Ombre is permanent powdered brow technique for clients who prefer a fuller result than the Micro Needling hair strokes. A very soft, natural look, the tails of the brow are darker and fade into a light beginning to the brow, giving a perfect Ombre makeup affect. The effects will be waterproof, smudge-proof and completely natural.

Now and again, Galaxy proprietors are asserting that the informing administration is resending pictures that have beforehand been sent to specific contacts, while others guarantee that the application is notwithstanding conveying the whole exhibition of photographs that are by and by put away on the cell phone. In either case, in any case, no log of the messages is appeared.
By and by, it's vague if the bug is particular to any gadgets, however it merits saying that it appears to have showed up after an ongoing refresh by means of Galaxy Apps, and has been basically influencing clients of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ on T-Mobile. By and by, one AT&T client has likewise announced a similar bug, while a Galaxy Note 8 proprietor detailed a similar issue as well.
Samsung is yet to recognize the bug or issue any sort of fix right now in time however repudiating the application's stockpiling consent is said to go about as a transitory fix. Likewise, for clients who wish to know whether they've been influenced by the bug, they are urged to check their messages log with their transporter.
Samsung is allegedly presently dealing with the application Bixby 2.0, which as indicated by Forbes will arrive pre-introduced on the up and coming Galaxy Note 9, set to be propelled on August 9. Bixby 2.0 is required to upgrade gadget reaction time and enhance the general client encounter because of its speedier normal dialect handling and update client security.

My name is Ben Davidson

.................... Truth, Lies......... Seek the truth through all the lies.
Message to the NSA & FBI: You know damn well that the war on terror has been orchestrated by your colleagues of the CIA with the help of the Mossad. If you don't believe what I am telling you, why don't you investigate for your self, instead of just following orders like the Nazis did. Your monitoring of the American People is totally worthless, unless you are at war with us. And if that is the case, you will loose, and you will be used as scapegoats of your masters. Think people (I assume you are people), think before you throw your country away.
And let me add. If truly your intent is to remove chances of terrorism (since now we have multiplied the number enemies, by killing children or their non-terrorists parents), then, How about guarding the borders with this super DHS army that you've built. And leave us alone here at home.
Now here is the kicker: I was thinking. Do they still expect the dangerous people to still plan their things via the internet? I think their cover was blown way back. I personally had heard of such facilities a while back, maybe 1 year and 1/2 ago. And I'm no super agent or anything like that. They have wasted billions of dollars of our money, to catch someone who will never use their internet for the purposes of terrorism or anything illegal for that matter.
Here is another kicker: I have already heard some people making statements like "I think we better start to lay off the internet", or "I think I will stop paying my bills on line". Hey Google, facebook, Yahoo, and all the other stupids who participated, you have brought down your own customer base, and you will be laying off your employees any time now.
Truth is: It was never intended to catch terrorists. It was intended to control the American People, during the Police State already well under way.
I was always shaking my head, and saying that the country is nowhere near that. Everyone is too comfortable with their beer and TVs and air conditioning and taking the kids to soccer practice and their new Davenports and their new cars. Revolution is not a good thing. It is never a good thing. People die in Revolutions. Lots of good people, innocent people die. Maybe you would die too. And the government removed is merely replaced by one with other political hacks of the same ilk. It attracts a certain nasty, distasteful breed. Nothing is ever accomplished in the end.

Laurelhurst Community Club
Serving 2800 Households and Businesses in Seattle's Laurelhurst Neighborhood
A Preliminary Review of Children's Offer
from the Laurelhurst Community Club
February 21, 2008
Will Laurelon owners really benefit from sale of their homes to Children's, how long will they have to wait, and what will happen to their properties and values in the meantime?
Children's has offered $93 million to purchase Laurelon Terrace—a price per unit close to three times the approximate current value. For a young family that would like to buy a house, older residents interested in moving into assisted living, and investor-owners seeking a profit, the offer sounds appealing.
But, there are many contingencies that make the potential windfall very uncertain and meanwhile leave Laurelon owners as hostages to Children's plans. All of these contingencies would allow Children's to back out of the deal.
First, the Legislature would have to pass House Bill (HB) 3071, a measure that would change the condominium law to require 80 percent, rather than 100 percent homeowner approval to dissolve the complex. If the bill passes and the other contingencies are not met, Children's could back out of its offer to purchase the units at a premium price. This means that Children's would have secured a valuable right to purchase the Laurelon Terrace complex but owners would not get the premium price cited by Children's to get the law changed.
Children's has put the cart before the horse in seeking this change in law during this legislative session. HB 3071 appears to have been drafted for the sole purpose of making it easier for Children's Hospital to take over a neighborhood-cherished, affordable housing community and demolish it for the construction of an excessive facility – that does not even have the basic City and State approvals that are required for development and bed expansion. A far more responsible approach would be for Children's to see if it can obtain approval for its expansion plans from the City and the State Board of Health "certificate of need" process before locking in a hostile takeover of the Laurelon community.
Second, the deal is contingent upon final approval of Children's master plan AND the plan must include expansion of the major institution boundaries to include Laurelon AND must include development standards AND all of this must be to Children's satisfaction or it does not have to pay. Some kind of master plan will eventually be approved. One question is whether the major institution boundaries will be expanded—something strongly discouraged in the Major Institutions Code. The other more important question is whether the development standards meet with Children's approval. What if Children's prefers 240 foot or 160 foot towers and that height is not approved? What if Children's does not want to agree to the 75-foot setbacks as proposed or eliminating roadways through the setbacks? There are dozens and dozens of development standards and any one that isn't acceptable to Children's could be a basis for Children's to back out of the deal. There is nothing in the summary of Children's proposal to protect Laurelon owners.
Third, the City must approve street right-of-way vacations on terms acceptable to Children's. This is yet another opportunity for Children's to back out and an extremely complicated and contentious process.
Why are there no explicit protections in the deal for Laurelon property owners? What would happen to the homeowners who put a down payment on a house and are never able to realize the windfall? What about older residents counting on the windfall to afford assisted living who then don't have the funds to pay? What if the whole offer falls through due to the many contingencies and residents can't then afford to move, yet will be forced to? Where will they go?
Why weren't owners told how long it could take for the many conditions to be realized? The master planning process according to the Major Institutions Code takes about 24 months. This means that final approval might not take place until July 2009. This does not take into account any possible appeals during this process, which could substantially lengthen the process. During this entire period, there would be uncertainty for homeowners.
It should be noted that Children's is paying the bulk of the attorneys' fees to make the deal happen. Does that make a difference as to how the deal was worked out? This is an important question for residents to ask.
Finally, where is the concern about the loss of affordable housing in the area? Manageably-sized moderate income apartments suitable for seniors in walking distance of shopping and services and on reliable bus routes are a precious commodity, especially in Laurelhurst. The preliminary draft environmental impact statement estimates a loss of 21 percent of the moderate income housing in the area if Children's succeeds in its Laurelon takeover. While it is said that Children's would be required to propose comparable replacement housing, that could be anywhere in the city and "comparability" is an elusive concept.

Strange Happenings
Midnight. They always came at midnight. The chimes from the old grandfather clock in the den jolted Daniel out of his restless dreams. It wasn't the chimes that woke him so much as the knowledge that They were coming. It was the same horrifying ritual, every single night.
The room was illuminated by an eerie pale green glow. Three figures in haz-mat suits stood around his bed. One of them held a large briefcase, another held a gun, and the third--the apparent leader, from the way he acted--was making entries into a large handheld computer. Daniel tried to escape, to run, to even move, but some unseen force held him in place, as immobile as the bed itself. The leader looked up from his computer and signaled to the one holding the briefcase, who set the case down and began to open it. Daniel strained to see its contents, but couldn't from his position. If only he could move...
The leader reached forward, grabbed the bedcovers and--
The shrill blast of Daniel's alarm clock filled the room. He'd had that dream again, the same one he'd been having every night for nearly a month. Except that it didn't feel like a normal dream. It felt more like a memory, but one that had been partially forgotten. Anyway, Dan had more important things to worry about, so he pushed whatever it was aside for the moment. Today was the last day of school, finally. All he had to do was survive his last few final exams, and he'd be home free. He wasn't about to let a creepy dream get him down.
Dr. DiCaoz glanced over his biology classroom. "Is anybody still working on the final?" he asked tiredly. He paused for a moment, then said, "If everybody is finished, you may talk quietly amongst yourselves for the remainder of the period." As the class erupted in chatter, he went back to nursing his hangover.
Daniel loved his biology class. It wasn't just that he was good at it, or that it was the last class of the day. By some bit of luck or fate, he happened to be in the same class as his four closest friends, Gassan, David, Pammy, and Jake. Gassan, David, and Pammy had become absurdly popular since coming to high school. Gassan was Lebanese and therefore "exotic," David was a star swimmer, and Pammy was a cheerleader. In retrospect, popularity was an inevitability. To the other popular kids, Jake an avid follower of the Furry subculture (he called it a craze, but nobody else did) and Daniel, the introspective writer, were social liabilities. Still, Gassan, David, and Pam never let their newfound "friends" keep them away from Jake and Dan. Privately, Daniel was grateful that he had managed to befriend the four people who appeared to be immune to high school drama.
"So, what'd you guys think?" Pammy whispered.
"I'm pretty sure Dr. Di is a nutcase," Gassan answered quickly. He was met with a chorus of approval from his companions.
"Anyway," Pam continued, "are we having our annual Thank-God-The-Schoolyear's-Over party tonight?"
"I can't go," Jake said, "I've got a convention."
"I can't go either," said David, "My dad's taking me camping. He's on a back-to-nature kick."
"I'm visiting my grandma," Gassan said. Pammy rolled her eyes.
"Alright," she sighed, "when do you guys get back?"
"Sunday evening"
"Sunday, but it'll be late."
"So," Pammy continued, "is Monday night alright with everyone?"
The days passed quickly. By the time Monday arrived, he had gone an entire weekend without his mysterious dreams. He was mostly relieved, but part of him wished the visitors would come back so he could find out what they were up to.
The streets were charged with an eerie calm. A summer storm was coming. As Daniel reached Pam's door, he couldn't help but feel a strange foreboding. Something was decidedly wrong. He rang the bell.
"Come in," called Pammy. Dan opened the door and found friend sitting on the floor in a tidy circle. They were all staring at him, an unsettling hunger in their eyes. "We are playing Truth or Dare," Pammy intoned mechanically. "Please, join us. Truth or Dare?"
"Please choose Dare," Gassan said, in the same unearthly voice.
"The Truth is never any fun," agreed David, still in the same tone. Throughout the exchange, none of the four took their eyes off of Daniel.
"Is everything alright?" he asked. "You all seem...different."
Pammy answered in the same monotone as before: "We are collectively unnerved at a series of recurring dreams we have been having. Perhaps you too are experiencing these visions?"
"Yeah," Dan said, "but I'm not acting that weird about it."
"Perhaps," Pammy said, "All will be made more clear if you answer this simple question: Truth...or Dare?"

When the matter of the flying werewolf first surfaced,you thought it only another stupid hoax or internet story that somehow had found its way in the pages of a regular newspaper.
It was the middle of the summer, a time you hate worse than any other in the year. Yeah, people would be running about, enjoying the sun and the bright sky, but you prefer the cold, damp isolation of your room. Safely seated behind your computer, talking to your friends and working on grinding a few more levels in Shell Shock.
The game was some kind of hidden indie pearl that you and your friends had discovered in the last year. The game showed a near-future demon invasion storyline, in which Earth was being conquered by parasitic demons from the hellish dimensions. These parasites would take over humans and animals hosts, corrupt and twist them for their nefarious purposes, equipped with advanced weaponry and eldritch sorcery they had overwhelmed most of the humanity.
In the game, you play a human recruit in the Heaven Alliance, tasked with using a variety of advanced weapons, deadly spells, and fierce chimeras to fight off the invasion.
The game had little over a million active players all around the world, but even then clawing your way up into the top ten had been no easy feat. What the Shell Shock players lacked in number they compensated in determination and skill.It took you the best part of the year in daily practice before you could even manage to get to the top one hundred. But after that you seem to have found your balance, and in the months that followed, you made a spectacular rise into the top ten.

You pull up your friends list. David, Pammy and Jake were already logged in. You quickly switch on your microphone and join on their private voice-chat line.
"You still won't admit I'm right?" David was shouting as you logged in.
"I told you, your argument proves nothing!" Pammy said. "I still think that episode 7 was much better than anything in the new trilogy! Anakin and Obi Wan spent the whole time twirling and spinning like some kind of ballet dancer! Meanwhile in episode 7 they were having a sword fight!"
"But that's because they are masters in the force and can predict each other moves!" David retorted.
"I don't care," Pammy said gleefully. "It was still really lame and relied too much in impossible acrobatics and set pieces to be an awesome duel. With the new one you can feel each blow and see the fighters struggling to get the upper hand!"
"Sorry to interrupt, guys," You say. "Are you two still going at it?"
"Daniel!" David called out. "I didn't see you log in!"
"You're late, noob," Pammy said. "And David won't shut up about Star Wars!"
"I'm right on time," You say. "We have a few minutes before the mission begins."
"Yeah, but you are the one that likes to obsess over your loadout and fighting formations…" Pammy said.
"Today we will have to improvise," You say.
You don't want to tell them, but you have been felling weird all day. You feel distant, disconnected.
"Hey guys," Gassan says as he log in. "It's raining really heavily around here, so maybe I'll randomly disconnect during the match."
You clear your throat. "Time is short. Let's talk mission, guys."
"If this is another Juggernaut takedown, I'm out," David said. "I'll bail and play Battlefield instead."
"What's the matter?" You ask. "Don't you enjoy a challenge?"
"I enjoy a challenge," David replies. "I'm not a masochist like you."

The Juggernaut
You can understand him. The Juggernaut was a powerful new weapon the demonic parasites had unveiled recently. A giant war machine seemed built from parts of battleships, and with enough firepower to level a small town in seconds.The thing was equipped with nuclear artillery, flak cannons, homing missiles and capable of emitting beams of hellish energy that could heal and even resurrect fallen enemies. For the past few weeks, all of the game's most devoted players had been trying to figure out how to go through its defenses and kill the damn thing. But so far it remained unbeaten.
Despite the endless barrage of complaints claiming that the developers had committed some kind of mistake during the introduction of this new enemy, the company refused to remove the Juggernaut from the enemy's arsenal or nerf it. Many players were expecting a new update that would bring bigger and more powerful weapons to the humans, something to level the battlefield, but so far the developers remained silent.
"It's a new mission," You say. "Be optimistic. There might not be a Juggernaut in it."
"Yeah," Pammy said. "Maye they will finally introduce those new spells they have been hinting on them forums."
"Those damn mages," David spoke, pacified by now. "I don't know how you can mess around with all that arcane scripting that goes in the spell system. I just need to point to whatever I want dead and squeeze the trigger."
"I'll remember that," Gassan immediately chimed in. "When you are bleeding on the floor and begging for one of my healing spells."
Thankfully, an alert sounded in your headphone just then, signaling the start of the mission. The game immediately changes from the loadout screen to the loading screen. As the other players finishes loading you see their avatars materializing around. David and Pammy are the first to appear, Jake and Gassan appear shortly after that.
In the fictional near-future reality of Shell Shock, the five of you are soldiers stationed in the remains of Washington, the front line of the war. David and Pammy are soldiers, they fight mostly with advanced weaponry and armor; Jake is a scout and assassin fighting with very long range weapons and mixing technology with a few basic spells; Gassan is the team healer, using advanced spells to keep everyone mostly alive for the duration of the missions.

What is going on in my bibliosphere at the moment?
Hello everyone, I have now completed my third week of exams and I had two this week. They were both ones I wasn't too worried about and they went well so that's good. A week off for half term now is very welcome.
Here is a bit of a breakdown:
- GCSE Exams: 4 / 14
- AS Level Exams: 4 / 4 FINISHED!
- GCSEs done this week: Latin Language
- AS Levels done this week: Critical Thinking
I have finished all my AS exams which is great as I am taking a few early and they were getting in the way of my GCSEs.
Now for the books! My read a bit revise a bit system is still going very well and I hope it continues.
This week I finished The Girl Who Played With Fire and really enjoyed it, despite it being a re-read. I would recommend seriously recommend the Millennium Trilogy to anyone who hasn't read it yet!
I am currently reading Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, which is also a re-read for me. However, I seemed to have missed out on absolutely everything apart from the basic story the first time I read it! I am enjoying reading about Pip and Miss Havisham again.
On a challenge-based note, I have signed up to The Literary Classics Reading Challenge (my post is here) as it fits in with the other challenges I am involved in really well. I would recommend you take a look as it is very relevant to members of The Classics Club too.

Palm Springs to : Washington
Mayor Steve Pougnet Looks to the Future
Interview by Morgan Craft
Pougnet is the Chairman of the Coachella Valley Association of Governments (CVAG), Chairman of the Energy & Water Conservation Subcommittee, as well as Vice-Chairman of the CVAG Energy and Environment Committee. He's also Vice Chairman of Sunline Transit Agency, a Board Member of the Palm Springs Desert Resort Convention and Visitors Authority, and a member of the Riverside County Transportation Commission.
And he's running for Congress this year, against an entrenched incumbent in a historically conservative district.
sat down with the Mayor to discuss the city, the region, and his race for Congress. (Click to read on...) I
DVS: Much has been made of stimulus money reaching the valley. Give us your view.
MAYOR: The new
was partially funded by stimulus funds. There are new police across the valley, and local Pell Grant programs have been helped. In March, City Manager David Ready and I went to COD Green Technology Center to uncover the formula for getting stimulus money, and we asked for money for specific things. Most important for the city was funding the new control tower at the airport, which we hoped might happen through the FAA's program, but were told then that it would not. We then went to the Air Traffic Control people who have control over airport capital projects and learned that it would be funded. Lots of people are taking credit for the control tower, but it was actually in the 2010 capital budget, so it was coming anyway. And nobody is talking about the fact that stimulus funds are going to be used to help fund the project. Washington
(We did, and according to the FAA's Western Region office, ARRA funds in fact are going to be used in the control tower project. The exact amount depends on the bids that come in.)
Last March when we went looking for money, most of it was earmarked for infrastructure projects. I also went there as a representative of the Riverside County Transportation Commission, and eventually, RCTC received $41 million for the valley i-10 projects. And since the bids for those projects are coming in less, it's going to allow us to start the
upgrade in September using stimulus funds. We had some easement issues with the Indian Canyon project but those have been resolved. Indian Canyon
DVS: What are the city's greatest challenges?
MAYOR: The budget is issue number one. We've eliminated $12 million out of last year's budget with a reduction plan that didn't include cuts to police and fire, plus early retirement and furlough programs, and 10 percent budget cuts in all departments. This will remain the number one issue as long as
Sacramento can't figure out their financial situation; it will impact every municipality in the state of when they keep gas taxes or take redevelopment funds that are ours. It's just not right. California
Clearly downtown is still an issue, and how and when it's going to be redeveloped. What Wessman's project actually looks like, the density, the height, will still be a major issue going forward. You have people in
who want nothing and others who desperately want to see it moving forward. We removed all the hurdles for Wessman, and approved the general plan; the Town and Country issue has been resolved and the Modernism Committee isn't going to sue. So now we're working directly with him on moving it forward. We're in a position that no other city council has been in with regard to development of Palm Springs , and there's nothing that should be stopping this project. We are in a 120-day period of drafting the development agreement which outlines what the city will do and where his proformas are at and can he do the project within an agreed-upon timeline. So, we'll know in the next couple of months exactly what's going to happen in terms of timeline and funding for the project, and hopefully we'll agree on all those terms. We meet every month. Museum Market Plaza
The third issue is economic development and how this city is going to grow and what that looks like. There's no doubt that the bulk of growth and the population has moved east and that dictates where companies want to locate. We all know a Whole Foods would do great here, and three years ago they said they were coming, but then their corporate decided against it. The economic recovery and realities of where things have shifted to will remain an issue.
DVS: What's the status of COD West, the new college in
? Palm Springs
MAYOR: We are in the final stages of acquiring the 115 acres for the campus. We met with COD president Jerry Patton last week and they have shown me the master plan which we will unveil at the State of the City address on February 9th. I can tell you that it will be the most sustainable, renewable campus in the state, if not the country. Some very creative and interesting things will be happening there, and they hope to have students by the end of 2013, early 2013 at the latest. They have $29 million in bond money that's moving the project, and are putting additional funds to the project which I will also announce on February 9th. We meet on a weekly basis and there's a huge commitment of effort toward the project with their staff.
DVS: There's an ongoing issue of broken windmills in the San Gorgonio Pass. Where do you stand?
MAYOR: It's a huge issue. Windmills are great and they produce energy, but they break, and when that happens there are safety issues, and when they leak fluids into the ground that's also an issue. We have an issue with a large out-of-state operator, and I think that the city needs to take a hard line with the operators, and the owners of the land that hold the leases, because they're hazards. It's unfortunate that operators are getting subsidies and tax breaks and not maintaining these things, and we're going to be very aggressive in going after them to ensure the highest and best use for the city. These are very long leases we're talking about, and with technology advancing so rapidly, having 25 year-old inefficient windmills out there makes no sense. The city is looking to do business with companies that are willing to adapt to change and make sure the equipment is legal, safe, and works. We'll use every bit of legal means we have to ensure that things are operating safely in the city of
. If not, they should move on. Palm Springs
DVS: How do you feel about the progress of your highly-publicized Sustainability initiative?
MAYOR: We're beginning to hit our stride with the program. It's been a year since it was adopted. Step number 20 of the plan was hiring the Sustainability Manager, who's in place and doing a great job. The school district has implemented an excellent sustainability program operation-wide, and so has the health care district with their landscaping. We put in irrigation smart timers from the DWA in test homes in each of our 17 neighborhoods as a pilot project, and in all those sites water consumption is down 46%. We're working on a rebate program for those $179 items because the cost savings is incredible. The city process doesn't move as fast as I'd like it to, but we've gone through the process of redesigning the
medians, which is going to be a very visible sustainable addition to the city. We have money in the Sustainable Recycling fund for the project and it will move forward. Tahquitz Canyon
We have an ecotourism task force which is doing great projects, and the city's trails and trailheads are a focus, which hasn't ever happened. We have a clean tech renewable energy task force which is also doing great work. Assembly Bill 811, which Palm Desert helped moved forward, and which makes solar affordable, is a great project, but it's difficult to move forward without funding, and there's very few municipalities in the state right now that can afford to do that. Along with the National League if Cities we're looking for funding to make that happen. Until we find the source of money for those rebates to run with your taxes, it's going to be hard to do it. Every city should be able to take advantage of that program.
I would love to have some sort of turf buyback program like has been introduced in other cities, and to work with Desert Water Agency on such an effort. There's a number of developments and HOA's that have gotten smart and are already doing it and saving themselves a lot of money, like the Biltmore's phase 3, and their savings and sales are through the roof. The DWA has been very helpful in doing water audits for these HOA's and showing them how to save lots of money.
DVS: What's the update on your Congressional bid?
MAYOR: Since I announced we've raised almost $600 thousand, and my challenger does have more cash on hand since she started the race with $350K from her last campaign. Minus that, I've almost matched her dollar for dollar in the second and third quarters, which is pretty good for a challenger in a difficult economy. I'm raising much of my money within the district which is important because it's where the votes are. And now we're raising additional money nationwide. I'll be in DC, Philly, and
New York for fundraisers next week, and we've had successful fundraisers in LA, San Francisco and La Jolla recently. Much of my challenger's money comes from back east, and we calculate she's only raised 12 percent within the district, as opposed to my forty eight.
DVS: How do you differentiate yourself from your challenger?
MAYOR: The main difference between us I feel is leadership. I expect to be judged on what I've accomplished for the city of
, an experience she's never had, running the business of a city. If we had moved nowhere during my council and mayor tenures, then I wouldn't feel as confident as I do about running. I've done everything I said I was going to do. When in congress you have to look at how much money you're bringing back to the district, and we rank second to the last in the state right now. And how much legislation you've offered for the district. In 11 or 12 years, she's offered virtually none. Palm Springs
All politics is local, and I'm in touch with the local issues, down to a municipal scale. She spends very little of her time here, and much back east. This is one of the largest districts in the country, and you simply cannot cover it all effectively by being back east, as an entrenched
politician. Real, local leadership skills are what are going to help you get down to business and make the deals that are going to make things happen for the district. I want to make life better for the people who live here. It's no secret that since I announced she's been spending more time here. To me the reaction is too little too late. Washington
I would have voted for the Recovery Act, which she didn't, but I would have made sure more immediate job creation was included. The Republicans created this mess and don't want to be a part of any of the solutions. History has taught us that spending was the solution to get out of the hole we found ourselves in. The opposition frames the entire stimulus as wasteful and pick out any inefficiency they find to refute the whole program. Sure, there were some things that shouldn't have been funded, but in terms of monetary policy it was absolutely necessary. You have to put money into the system. Am I concerned about deficits? Of course I am. I have 2 young children. I'm a Democrat, but with this city's money I've been very conservative. I've had budgets to manage, which my opponent never has.
No one has "political capital," because they represent every voter in the district, not just the ones that voted for them. When I won with 70% of the vote it was because I was able to bring people together and represent them effectively at the same time.
I've been spending a lot of time across the district, in Murietta, San Jacinto and
, and the communities have received me very well. Plus, I'm on the Riverside County Transportation Commission and have been involved in planning for the entire county. I have a trip scheduled to Blythe soon. It's a huge district, with half of it in the expensive LA media market, and no one has ever marketed themselves effectively to that part of the district. I will be. We have an active fundraising apparatus over there, and the Hemet is historically Democratic-voting, a commuter city where many people vote by mail, so there's huge opportunities there. The Latino vote is between 30-30% of this district now, and we're going to be reaching out and talking to them about the issues that concern them and getting people to register to vote. Moreno Valley
DVS: What are the status and your view on Prop 8, the Right to Marry?
MAYOR: It didn't do well in the district, but better in the
. It's in litigation now and an issue for the courts. Look, I married 118 couples, and I'm sure sometime during my campaign they will use that as a wedge issue. But when you see the love in those people's eyes as I did, no one in their right mind could see anything but that they love each other. A lot of money goes into the effort against it, but the part that bothers me the most is when children are used as a weapon in the fight. And now that I have children I find that very offensive. Half the married couples in this country get divorced, so don't talk to me about couples who have children with parents who unconditionally love them – straight or gay. But this is how democracy works and now it's an issue of litigation, and eventually there will be a vote in favor. Without the courts, blacks and whites wouldn't be able to marry in this country. Having a job, and taking care of and protecting your family are the most important things in their lives. The people who will pick this up and make it an issue in the congressional race, well they would never have voted for me anyway. But my family and my children and the love we have are no different than any other family. Coachella Valley
DVS: What national issues do you think you'd focus on in Congress?
MAYOR: I come from a health care family, and it's still going to be an issue. My father was a doctor and my mother a nurse, and Christopher has a nursing degree and MBA and works in the pharmaceutical industry. Sen. Boxer chairs that committee, among others, and can help produce a lot of money for this district. My job in DC will be to lead for this district, and the only way you do that is to learn. There are many caucuses and committees that I can be a part of, and groups to network with that didn't vote for me. I'm excited about that.
DVS: What don't people know about you?
MAYOR: I love chocolate way too much, hence the jar on my desk. And I love exercise. I've run 14 marathons and an Iron Man. There's no better way to feel you can attack the host of issues before you than with a clear head and sharp mind from exercise. And politics is a passion for me. Ask my friends from years ago and they'll say they knew this was going to be my course. If I serve one term and don't do my job and improve our standing federally, I don't want to be asked back. I've always worked hard and I'm passionate about what I'm trying to do, which is help make better lives for people here, and that'll be no different when I go to Washington.

Yoshi, Rice Cooker
I suppose it's been a few days since I've had some time to write anything. I've been up to my neck in self-inflicted nonsense for the past week. I had been complaining of mild boredom since my return to NY (mostly because I am accustomed to being on a bus that never stops moving or on an airplane that drops me on a different continent every few days). I even resorted to seeing Pirates of the Caribbean (for the second time) and the remake of The Wicker Man (which, for real, is the worst movie that I have ever seen, it's almost worth the eleven dollars to see Nicholas Cage haul off and punch a woman in the face and then throw another across a bar...I am totally serious). So, in the midst of my off tour ennui I made a few phone calls to try to get some work around the city that didn't involve me actually touching, picking up or moving anything heavier than a bagel and wouldn't occupy my time for more than a day or two. I've gone and done it, and now I am in the middle of planning two tours, one post-fashion show party and I am also preparing myself for a trip to Alaska in nine days, as well as losing it...just a bit.
My hood has again become over run with construction. They have literally dug a giant hole, paved it, dug it up again, paved it again and have now decided that it may be a good idea to dig it up. This has been ongoing for about six months or so, frequently before seven in the morning and occasionally on Saturdays. I was doing my laundry the other day wondering why these guys feel the need to make such a mess and why it takes them so long to do anything. I decided to document the progress. I watched this one guy bang a piece of steel with a hammer for twenty minutes as his friend looked on. I am starting to understand why this is a never-ending project.
I leave for Alaska on the 14th and will be gone for just about two weeks. I will be north of Fairbanks a ways and will be away from phone, computer, construction work and generally people and their nasty little faces for some time. I can't wait. I also have realized how ill-prepared I may be for this trip. My new hiking boots just arrived in the mail and I'm expecting to get some really comfortable thermal underwear today, but other than that I feel that I may have underestimated this little outing. I will be traveling a few hundred miles north of the Arctic Circle along a major oil pipeline, doing a bit of hiking, maybe a bit of camping, hopefully a lot of surviving potential bear attacks. I don't know, maybe I am second guessing my own ability. I've been reading up on Alaska for weeks, and I have a fiery passion for the outdoors since I've moved back to NY. I have also been in far more dangerous situations. Now I am just rambling and confusing my eager anticipation with common self-doubt. It will just be an adjustment from Brooklyn, I think, but goddamn am I looking forward to it. I even went shopping for pants the other day. The key to staying warm is layers, so you want to buy your pants big...
As I was lamenting, I decided to take on some extra work because most of my friends are out of town and I don't know what to do with myself. So, I am in the middle of piecing together a Raconteurs (Raccoontours?) show at the Prada store this Friday. It is quickly becoming a nightmarish prospect to stage a rock show in an upscale retail store. The band is meant to play right here:
I am pulling an almost all-nighter tonight to get ready for tomorrow. It is going to be an ugly one, for sure. Hopefully someone will bring me Two Boots pizza again. Two Boots, I am convinced, is the absolute best pizza in the world. Yesterday I had something with white cheese and sweet sausage that made me want to weep into my iced tea. When I worked at the Bowery Ballroom years ago I was forbidden from going to Two Boots because our softball team was in the same intramural league as their team and we always lost to a bunch of skinny, South American pizza chefs. I felt truly deprived.
Last weekend the sky looked amazing. These big, fluffy clouds hovered right over your head and seemed to change shape every few minutes. It was pretty spectacular, although I am sure that it was signaling impending doom of some sort. Either way, here are a few pictures:

Making Your Website Mobile Friendly (Responsive Web Design)
Text here...
If you
want the change copied – for example, if you're removing some text from a mobile version, just select the Text Tool and select the text you
want to delete, then right click on the mouse, go to website variants and select 'stop sharing with variants' – now you can delete it in the Mobile
version and it won't be removed from the Main variant.
There are exceptions to the sharing. Obviously, if you change the size of a photo or crop it, then that won't be copied, neither will changes to repeating
objects such as NavBars, because these are edits that you'd expect to make
in the mobile variant.
Web Designer makes intelligent guesses about what should and shouldn't be copied, but we would always recommend that you switch between the
variants regularly, making sure that you haven't generated any unexpected changes. Keep an eye on that as you're going along, and, of course, also
when you preview at the end.
Updating The Text Styles
With the page structure complete it's now time to work on the content. Firstly, the main body text needs to be at least 16px, perhaps larger for the
mobile variant. With the Text Tool select a paragraph of text (the top InfoBar should show 'Normal text' Style) change the font size to be 16px, then
click the Style drop-down menu and select 'Update style in this variant'. Notice how all the text will change on all of the pages into the new style. Do
the same for the Heading 2 style – select one of the headings on any page, change the style to be 18px or larger, and do the same 'Update style in this
Now I need to make layout adjustments to each of the pages.
Updating The Page Layouts
I will go through the various page designs in my Orbit website - they consist of a wide variety of page layouts that are great examples of how to adjust
just about any layout from wide to narrow.
Home Page:
Adjust the text column width: In the Text Tool click in the text and drag the right end of the red column marker to the desired width and the text will
adjust to that new width.
Using the Selector Tool, drag the computer image onto the page – notice that the text flows around it – that is because the image is set to 'repel text
under'. (If you need to adjust the repel margin, right click on the image and choose the '
Repelling & Anchoring...
' option.)
Repelling images must be in front of the text - type Ctrl+F to bring it to the front if necessary.
You'll notice that the page length has automatically increased to accommodate the extra lines of text using the automatic Push system.
Now we need to adjust the image of people at the top, there are two choices for this. Select the image and drag the bottom corner handle to reduce
the overall size of the image (this would display all five people) or, better in this case, drag the center right handle to narrow the image so that it fits
the width of the page. This crops the image. Then use the Fill Tool to adjust the photo within the image container.
when using the Selector Tool to adjust the size of images
use only the corner or side handles to resize.
That crops the image rather than squashes
That's it, the Home Page completed!
Using the Fill Tool to adjust the image on the Home Page. Drag the end of the arrows to rotate and resize. Drag on the image to re-position it.
Products Page:
The page starts as three columns - much too wide for the 480px wide page.
Adjust the sub-heading to fit into the mobile variant by selecting it and dragging the right side handle until it 'snaps' into position. Now move the
'Products' heading onto the page.

Tilting at giants: the effects of austerity on the psychodynamic tradition in public health provision – a challenge for arts therapists
Pete Holloway
Over the last decade, following the financial crash of 2008-09, most European economies have seen the imposition of austerity budgets of one form or another. Funding and investment in public services and mental health services in particular have been affected as a result, despite the increase in public health and mental health issues that arise as a consequence of 'austerity economics'. From large-scale national health provision (such as the UK NHS) to social insurance schemes (favoured within continental Europe) to the individualised insurance schemes (promoted by US insurance companies), the provision of mental health services has seen a gradual erosion of long-term therapeutic interventions aimed at treating the deep tensions and contradictions of the human experience. Instead, we have seen an incremental increase in short-term, symptom-focused interventions that have been sanctioned by insurance companies and promoted through the 'evidence-based' ideology of public health providers.
This presentation will argue that such a trend represents an attack on the depth of thought that is embedded in the psychodynamic tradition in favour of more 'simplistic' interventions such as CBT/DBT and other standardised protocol-based approaches, but at the same time (through its appropriation of 'consumer choice' arguments) opens up opportunities for the arts therapies to evidence their ability to combine complex psychodynamic insights with focused embodied practice, through which we can provide a unique contribution to the public health and mental he alth agenda and preserve a tradition of humanistic, holistic interventions.
Pete Holloway has been a Lecturer on the MA Dramatherapy programme at Roehampton University since its inception in 1993 and is also currently employed as a Consultant Dramatherapist and Clinical Lead for a specialist psychological therapies unit within community mental health service in the UK NHS.

Dereliction of duty
Mister Donut, the US doughnut chain that emigrated to Japan leaving only Dunkin' Donuts to hold down the fort in the old country, is currently going through a Brooklyn thing. Their latest poster says:
Roughly speaking, "The Japanese [words] to express this mouthfeel don't exist yet: Brooklyn D&D." "D&D" stands for "Doughnut and Danish," not "Dungeons and Dragons" (I won't fall for that one again).
Technically this only describes the mouthfeel of the D&D, but I think that the name comes into play here: it goes only by the (English) initials "D&D," because it is impossible to put into (Japanese) words. To non-Brooklynites, it is literally beyond words, something which has never been experienced before. Reverse Sapir-Whorf marketing, if you like.
(Since both dōnatsu and dēnisshu are in fact fairly respectable loan words in Japanese — and both appear on Mister Donut's menu, at that — I assume that the real reason for using "D&D" was simple length considerations. But "The Japanese to express this mouthfeel is cumbersome yet entirely commonplace" would not have been a successful advertising slogan.)

On Ontology & Writing
This post started after I felt that I needed a quick way to explain the way I see and feel writing. And the way I write. This have to do with some critique on my writing lately – not in the "how dare thou offend moi!" sense, but in the way that the critique reminded me to go back and search the places where I drew my understanding of writing from. I remembered Donna Haraway pretty much nailed it down in an interview I read with her, on The Haraway Reader. Then I read it more thoroughly, and saw that we disagree on some things. But let's start with the agreeable part.
it is not altogether intentional. Writing does things to the writer. Writing is a very particular and surprising process. When I am writing, I often try to learn something, and I may be using things that I only partly understand […] This is not altogether a scholarly proper thing to do […] My style is not only intuitive, but also the result of deliberate choice, of course. Sometimes people ask me "Why aren't you clear?" and I always feel puzzled, or hurt, when that happens, thinking "God, I do the best I can! It's not like I'm being deliberately unclear! I'm really trying to be clear!" […] However, I like layered meanings, and I like to write a sentence in such a way that – by the time you get to the end of it – it has at some level questioned itself. There are ways of blocking the closure of a sentence, or of a whole piece, so that it becomes hard to fix its meanings.
This. Well, pretty much this. I'm not being vague on deliberate. I'll sometimes vague things deliberately if I'm not certain about them, of course. But I'm speaking about the times where and when I'm writing something so precise, so little, that the very act of writing about it so-called taking it out of proportions, of logic, of understanding. Chasing a rainbow, a fragment of idea. That's the kind of thing I do, a lot. Not because I enjoy driving humanity crazy (well, at least not *that way*), but because that's the way I think of tiny fractures of life. Big. That's the thing, in my opinion, about layered meanings – they're not layered in the same level in the text. They're layered by analyses in the text, the text itself and in the reader's mind. I'll throw in some context for you – did I ever mention that Faulkner is my favorite writer?
So far, so good. But here enter my doubts on that matter, as seen by Haraway.
I like that, and I am committed politically and epistemology to stylistic work that makes it relatively harder to fix the bottom line […]
the idea that as soon as you name something and believe in a name, there is an act of idolatry involved; the idea that the names of God are always finally deeply suspect; the idea that spirituality has a more negative quality to it; the idea that if you seriously are trying to deal with something that is infinite, you should not try to attach a noun to it, because then you have fixed and set limits to that which is limitless, and the whole point of God is about a kind of eternal totality that is not the totality of a system. It is not a systemic totality. It is a different kind of totality. It is an unnameableness. […]
A-ha, let us ditch every last fragment of the scientific way of producing knowledge! But no, alas, Haraway is more clever than that. At least, in my reading of her. Once you write on certain subjects – and if you're honest with yourselves, you know that whatever it is you're writing about, you don't understand it 100% from every angle. And that's OK: that's part of the magic, the wonder, and the academic building of knowledge. That's the way I see that "systemic totality". Write scientifically; aspire to catch that rainbow epistemologically. That's the most we can do, with our language. Because
categories aren't frozen. We are more inventive than that. The world is more lively than that, including us, and there are always more things going on than you thought; maybe, as Katie King taught me, less than there should be, but more than you thought! Second, you can use categories to trouble other categories. Marilyn Strathern formulated this very wonderful aphorism: "It matters which categories you use to think other categories with" […] You can turn up the volume on some categories, and down on others. There are foregrounding and backgrounding operations. You can make categories interrupt each other. All these operations are based on skills, on technologies, on material technologies. They are not merely ideas, but thinking technologies that have materiality and effective. These are ways of stabilizing meaning in some forms rather than others, and stabilizing meanings is a very material practice.
Now we're talking. Deconstruct forever; but make sure to construct something to hold onto while you preform the deconstruction. And the best way, I think, to make sure that people will get you and climb that building you're trying to build, layer by layer, is by writing scientifically. By the rules. With the best broken and deconstructed epistemology you can come up with. That's the kind of critical thinking I like. That's shaking the categories.
Thirdly, I find it important to make it impossible to use philosophical categories transparently. There are many philosophers who use cognitive technologies to increase the transparency of their craft. But I want to use the technologies to increase the opacity, to thicken, tp make it impossible to think of thinking technologies transparently […] I will stress that category-making of materiality […] Thinking is involved in all these material practices, but category formation, category manipulation is a different skill.
