"An excellent primer to DDR, perhaps even the best available."
LSE Review of Books
"This book examines in fascinating detail a neglected aspect of post-conflict peacebuilding: how to disarm, demobilize, and reintegrate armed groups back into civil society. Eric Shibuya makes a valuable contribution to the literature of unconventional conflict that should be the subject of discussion for years to come."
Tom Mockaitis, DePaul University
"Written in a concise, easy-to-understand manner, and illustrated with several disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration (DDR) case studies that highlight the importance of social/cultural contexts and flexibility at the psychological and operational levels, Demobilizing Irregular Forces will be essential reading for students in graduate and undergraduate courses as well as in professional military schools."
Mohan Malik, Asia-Pacific Centre for Security Studies
"In this excellent study Eric Shibuya reminds us that for effective disarmament, demobilization, and reintegration, and for successful peacekeeping in post-conflict situations, the strategies and processes adopted by interveners must be both active and mutually reinforcing. DDR cannot be successfully undertaken without appreciation of political culture, local fighting traditions, or the identity of militants. Shibuya's findings resonate across the broad Middle East, Central Asia, and Africa, and also in the little-comprehended conflicts of the Pacific Islands; for example, in the Solomon Islands and Bougainville."
David Hegarty, Australian National University

A schlubb is a schmoe about to die of sloth. A schlubb is one lazy mutha effa. See "a bump on a log." That bloody schlubb hasn't gotten out of bed all flippin' week!

to wear the most daggy comfortable clothes you have and have a lazy day at home. usually happens on a weekend, specifically Sunday. you do not care how feral you look, what house work needs doing, where anybody is or what they are doing. the kids could be setting fire to the yard and you would not care. only the television, your book or facebook matters. if it is out of your reach it does not exist (chocolate or beer being the exception). its too cold to go out today, i think a schlubb day is in order.
i'm not visiting your mother i'm having a schlubb day and that's it!!! it's been a long week at work, i'm staying in and being schlubb today. |

Before beginning this article for Nakama Britannica it is worth noting that this is the start of many new posts for this blog. Although inactive for sometime it is back and not with just the weird articles I post either! Other great posts are in the pipe line from veterans of this blog and also authors who are new. I think this could be a very interesting tenure in the development of the blog. So watch this space every Sunday, or so, for articles on all aspects of anime from issues that are considered mundane, yet are extremely important like the industry, to the far more important issues, like what exactly you should be buying in retail outlets around the country…
This article at the start of our new season is taken from a piece which unsuccessfully did not make the cut when I submitted it to Asian film magazine 'Jade Screen' last year. It covers some of the work from Satoshi Kon and was designed as part of a series, which never got written, to attract a new group of fans to explore the genre whilst providing existing fans with something new to read. The reason why only two of Kon's films are critiqued is because the word limit imposed by the magazine. I might get round to completing the whole thing when I'm less ill and less busy. Perhaps you guys could fill in the article or comment and critique Kon's other films to get any new fans to watch a film by Kon. Anyway I hope you enjoy…
Anime is a kaleidoscopic genre. It is comprised of many diverse genres and transcends its own boundaries on an almost constant basis. However these changes are mediated by the constant awareness of its Japanese roots. So just what is anime? Just like a child, we will twist the tube of anime to answer this question; examining its nature one pattern at a time.
The first twist of the tube takes us to an image of a man who fashions stories that are just as kaleidoscopic as the genre itself: Satoshi Kon. Kon joins a pantheon of Japanese directors who push the boundaries of Japanese animation further and further. Just like Tezuka, Otomo, Oshii, and Tomino, Kon is creating anime that is transcending previously known boundaries. However what differentiates Kon from those four directors and creators is to spawns a story that is much like an optical illusion. That is that he creates stories that play on our perceptions of what is real and what is fictitious.
Satoshi Kon is of a host of directors who are fantastic at producing some of the most underrated material possible. Kon presents his audience with a warped sense of reality and fiction and takes us on a journey to explore what exactly is reality and what is fictitious. Kon's speciality is this ability to take that warped clash of reality and fiction and synthesise them together to form some great films. This article will examine all of his major films and, will shortly, critique them also. This is because Kon is largely ignored by the more scholarly of the anime community. What he produces is, often, a breed of very challenging, deep films which are bypassed in favour of the pretentiousness of Mamoru Oshii ('Ghost in the Shell', 'Patlabor', 'Sky Crawlers') or the, frankly, insanely talented Katsuhiro Otomo ('Akira, 'Memories' and 'Metropolis').
However Kon's almost constant flirtation with the subject of reality is something that will bring his work into the fore in the future. However his work is not always about this constant fluctuation in and out of reality, indeed works like 'Tokyo Godfathers' and 'Paranoia Agent' present stories that are, respectively, conventional yet provide cleverly convoluted plots to provoke thought and debate. This is a director that does not do 'bog-standard', boring fare. Rather here is a man that wants to challenge and confuse you. An easy thing to do when your films are the manifestation of an infatuation with probing the depths of what humanity calls real and what it, conversely, calls fictitious.
This article will deal with his two of his four feature films. The reason why I selected Kon, as the first of Jade Screen's anime articles, was mainly because of his ingenious way to fashion films that are essentially universal in content, but they are performed in a Japanese context and obviously made within the context of the anime medium itself. Satoshi Kon could, possibly, create these films in Hollywood but he is an up and coming director of Japanese animation and as such is a great way to begin exploring the genre, to keep exploring the genre for fans who have not seen a Kon production, or a reflection for those anime fans who are well acquainted with the wonderfulness of Kon's work.
Perfect Blue
Perfect Blue DVD coverIn 1997 anime fandom was faced with an anime that both was infinitely illusive yet remarkably brilliant in the deployment of its fascinating story line. 'Perfect Blue' synthesises together the concepts of psychological definition, philosophical perceptiveness on life, how communication has evolved with the internet and finally a greatly disturbing idea of what it is like to be famous.
The story revolves around a former pop idol, Mima Kirigoe, and her decision to change her career from being a pop idol to being an actress. This prompts a negative reaction from her fans who believe that she should remain as a pop idol in the band 'CHAM!'. Her decision leads to her taking up one of the leading roles in the programme she was cast in. However the lead role comes with a price, she will have to act out a completely unsavoury role. This sends her sense of reality completely spiralling out of control! Add this to an internet website, designed to completely track Mima's life from the most important to the most mundane moments, setup by Mima's stalker 'Me-Mania' which causes Mima's delicate sense of reality to implode.
The story is not a classic in the sense that the story it works on the basis of is not particularly fantastic. Indeed the concept of the pop idol trying to throw off the shackles of her former life as a pop star is one that feels uncharacteristic of Kon really. However the way in which he uses such a poor foundation to build a great film is fantastic! He takes this overused trope and gives it a great makeover.
Kon uses the idea that the pop idol is one created in an atmosphere of greater communication. This communication is streamed through a variety of ways including TV, radio and, in 1997, more increasingly the internet. 'Me-Mania's' website, Mima's room, is the natural escape from a life that craves and more communication. Unfortunately for 'Me-Mania, he has not benefited from this increase in communication. Indeed the depiction of 'Me-Mania', who runs this website, as grotesque is therefore the way in which his life is stranded in between this need for others to communicate with others yet this repulsion of the very same others who cannot treat him properly because he is physically different. The juxtaposition is important because 'Me-Mania' believes that Mima is what epitomises a good life. She is someone who, for him in his warped reality, has beauty and therefore has a great degree of ability to exercise communication with others, when really this is just not the case. As much as the film deals with fictitious concepts, this is part of the subtle social commentary underlying meaning residing in Kon's many films. This is present in any good director of Japanese Animation.
The film therefore raises issues of one's personal psychology and how it is developed in a society with predefined concepts of what it is to be right and wrong. Mima is depicted unflatteringly, especially in the English Dub, where she is seen to be delicate and in a constant transition from being a young teenager to being a young adult. Her aspirations are clear but her maturity is not in place yet. However it is this description of 'Idol' that fixates many people and disguises someone who is essentially fragile, yet in the media is made out to be a woman who has a greater amount of inner-strength.
'Perfect Blue' is a great example of what exactly anime actually is. It is a synthesis of great animation which is bolstered by a striking story and involves tropes which are communicated, occasionally, with glaring depiction yet some are communicated subtly. It manages to incorporate a very Japanese trope of communication and, perhaps, the lack of it in Japanese society but also talks about the individual personality and whether that personality can be created and maintained in reality or whether one creates a personality that is fictitious and requires fictitious things to operate it.
Millennium Actress
'Millennium Actress' is a continuation of the kind of weird psychological mind games spawned by Kon in his previous film 'Perfect Blue'. A gap of four years had passed since 'Perfect Blue' and 'Millennium Actress' was to follow in 2001. It alludes any true critique because Kon's mind games make the film especially convoluted and complex! Indeed from one moment to the next one cannot tell whether they are seeing Chiyoko Fujiwara's, the protagonist who has acted since The Mukden Incident (1931) and during the course of the film has retired becoming a recluse, actual flashbacks or part of a film she starred in or a mixture of the two. The concept of a play within a play imbues the film with an ability to create a complexly perplexing plot because reality is interacting with fiction to make a story where reality and fiction are undefinable in the sense that they cannot be told apart for much of the film.
The focus of the film is the relationship between Chiyoko and, her interviewer for the film, Genya Tachibana. The two are both coming to deal with their unrequited love for partners of whom will never be able to reciprocate love back to them. Chiyoko is following a man who cannot be found while Genya loves Chiyoko; a woman who cannot love him. The complexity of the story lays in the format of the flashbacks which inform Genya as to Chiyoko's inner most thoughts and feelings as she guides him through her life until she dies at the end of the film.
The plot is simple, much like 'Perfect Blue', which allows for Kon to diffuse a degree of the reality warped mind games into the mix. Indeed the film's two main protagonists' imaginations link together throughout the film to explore their thoughts and feelings. Genya, who has always loved Chiyoko, therefore during the flashbacks acts Chiyoko's protector and helper. This could never have had happened because he crops up later on as a member of the production staff for Chiyoko's films. Also the idea that her flashbacks occur within her films could also be down to his influence because he has the hallmarks of being a fanatical fan of Chiyoko's films and therefore can act as her protector.
Chiyoko, alternatively, is telling her story about something she can never have and therefore is living in her world of make belief. Both of these protagonists are blurring the lines between reality and fantasy mainly because the two cannot get what they really want. Essentially Kon is evoking a theme that sometimes humans live in their imaginary worlds far too much leading them to miss out of the things that matter in reality. Therefore the film acts as a great medium for telling this play in a play because we are witnessing fantasy. Perhaps Kon is offering us a little bit more social commentary?
The film, like 'Perfect Blue, is not a classic as such. It is not a bad film in anyway but certainly shifts down from fifth gear into third. A slower, much more powerful gear is required for us to traverse the meandering manner in which the film is told. We are observing a whole life after all rather than watching just a snippet of one life and the impacts of the blurring reality and imagination together throughout a life. The film is certainly brilliant and again transcends the usual fare.
Satoshi Kon will certainly go down as one of Japanese Anime's greatest directors of recent years. Rather than spawning more of the 'boring fare' he provides a delectable mixture of reality and fantasy imbuing this trope with both panache and flair making this trope his very own. Well, at least in Japan. Japanese Anime has certainly more series and films in this kind vein of greatness; perhaps some are greater than the works mentioned here. For the seasoned veteran this may all be apparent but for those of you less acquainted with this great genre then Satoshi Kon is a great place to start. He synthesises the uniqueness of Japanese Animation into stories that are truly universal. Also the eccentric fashion that they are crafted also makes anime a truly special genre and very different from anything else despite the universal themes some anime deal with.
'Perfect Blue' and 'Millennium Actress' are two of Kon's four films. The other two are the conventional 'Tokyo Godfathers' and, a return to form with, 'Paprika' and Kon's TV series 'Paranoia Agent'. If you wish to really experience something a little different that I urge you to explore these films. They offer entertainment for those viewers who do not wish to be overly challenged yet for those who do Kon is the perfect remedy for films that seem to lack any underlying themes and attitudes that make the audience think. Satoshi Kon is also directing a film in development as we speak, 'The Dream Machine', which has yet to be confirmed when it is due out. I hope you can turn the kaldiscope of anime with me to and discover just what else you can make of the weird and wonderful paterns of anime.

SAN DIEGO — A 70-year-old driver escaped injury Wednesday after crashing into a medical building near Sharp Memorial Hospital, leaving his car suspended over a stairwell.
It took firefighters about 40 minutes to pull the man out of the Toyota Camry. He was taken to Sharp hospital for evaluation after the 9:45 a.m. crash, San Diego Fire-Rescue spokesman Maurice Luque said.
The crash left the sedan spanning a stairwell with its back end resting on a walkway and the front left wheel on a ledge on the front of the building. Firefighters estimated the drop to be about 20 feet, Luque said.
Luque said the driver went through the lowered gate arm. The car zoomed into the parking lot, jumped a curb and hit the building. Luque said he had to be traveling very fast for it to have ended up across the divide rather than going nose first into it.
"He was in midair," Taylor said. "What was scary was he was trying to get out of the car."

A few weeks ago I had a typical English breakfast in a suite at the beautiful Marriott Grosvenor Square hotel that overlooks the park of Mayfair London. I spent the morning lazing around in Australian underwear brand Bonds, which launched in John Lewis late last year.
Definitely my new favorite go-to loungewear brand that I look forward to wearing (mostly covered up though)
Underwear by Bonds, jeans are G-star, shirts Zara men's and sandals Prada.

Happy Father's Day! Well, that is if you have a father. Which Lil Momma doesn't (I'm Lil Momma). Now, don't be sad for me. My mom was the jam and technically I had a father that mated with my mother, but he was all, "I ain't ready to be a dad." And my mom was all, "But JC is gonna be the jam when she's older" and he was all, "Well, I'll check back in then, then." And with that, he dipped town for the good part of my growing up years (which I was pretty ugly-town for so I'm kind of glad he didn't see me like that). But then he surfaced just recently (which, weirdly enough was pretty cool). That story is for another day…
For now, does any of the above sound familiar? Do you get a little bummed on Father's Day? Don't! Why? Well, because anybody can be a rad father figure without actually mating with your mom. So long as you look up to them and they've taught you well, young Skywalker. Many times, people get down about the fact they came from a broken home or even that they didn't live in a cul-de-sac n' junk and then years later they grow out of it with a chip on their shoulder. A chip that turns into online dating but, way too terrified to actually follow through…eh hm.. But, I say nay to feeling bad about something like that and I say yay to embracing it and not letting it deter you from wanting the best dad in town for your own little litter later down the line (A lot of Ls on that one).
Since you are going to miss out on buying a boring stripe tie for good ole' dad this year, why not take the time to call up the other manly folk that played a key role in your existence? It would mean the world to them and it's as simple as thanking them for being around when others weren't. It can't hurt. Plus, you are who you are because of the people that influenced you in your life, so pay it forward and let them you know appreciate them for what they did to mold you into the fantastic, independent chica you are today. And if you need me, I'll be crank calling my "Real Dad" this Sunday every hour on the hour because even though I don't know him that well, I can tell he'll find it incredible.

Don't like - Bed bugs - Flies, OMG it's everywhere I sleep! - Bed sheet is not clean - Ceiling is damn dirty - There are storage on the alley hall, which is disgusting - Check in for two person but gave me only 1 locker room - Disgusting room mates "

- " It was hard to find the hostel since there was no signage or neon box. Instead, there's only a piece of A4 paper indicating this cheap yet clean hostel. Since it is worth-to-stay hostel, you guys really have to take attention to the address itself. A small thing that really mattered for me. Nevertheless, this hostel was decent for you to stay. "

Despite informed staff on the day of arrival to cancelled the last day of stay which was 3 days in advance but the reception forgot to informed the management and I had to pay for the full booked period (4 nights).

They showed us a kind of document so we had nothing to do but only to pay. Toilets and showers were clean. Beddings were clean too. The worst thing is that there were bed bugs!

The beds really are comfortable, but the bathrooms lack things like soap that make a hostel feel livable. The staff are friendly but not a permanent fixture during the days, and the hostel offers no tourism info or other support for the trip. Dorm was good value, private room was not. "

It's what it means, not how it sounds
When I first started editing people's work as a journalist I noticed something very odd. Let's call it Sounds Good Syndrome. SGS occurs when a writer think it's more important to focus on how words sound than what they mean.
Example. From time to time journalists have to produce 'colour' pieces. Longer articles that aren't strict news stories but extend into atmosphere. A chance for real writing in other words, which is fine if you're a real writer. Not all reporters are — some of the best at chasing down facts actually don't write that well at all, and there's nothing wrong with that. Each to their own.
One day a very good fact-chasing reporter came in with a colour piece he'd written. It started, 'Beneath a gibbous sun…'
I screamed, naturally. Gibbous has two precise, related meanings. The first is 'hunched' or 'hump-backed'. The second relates to the phase of the moon. If it's greater than half but not yet full then it's gibbous. Since the sun, unlike the moon, never waxes and wanes describing it as 'gibbous' in this context is actually gibberish.
SGS strikes us all. I'm sure I've fallen for it over the years. I hope I don't any longer because I'm now much more aware of language than I ever was starting out in this trade.
Where does it begin? In the head. When something, a phrase usually, appears instantly in your mind begging to be used. One of the first lessons I learned as a journalist was this: if something pops into your head and seems a very obvious candidate for the next chunk of text to be written then beware. Chances are it's a cliché, and they're usually to be avoided.
I say 'usually' because novelists write fictitious dialogue too, and I see nothing wrong with including a cliché in dialogue if it's a way of saying, 'This person has a clichéd mind.' You will, of course, get an email from a dumb-yet-thinks-he's-smart reader complaining your work contains clichés. But there's no pleasing everyone.
SGS is the cliché on acid. Something pops up into your head and it sounds so good and cool you can't wait to tap it into the machine, never once stopping to ask yourself along the way, 'But does this actually make sense?'
I now try and look at the words I write, both as they appear and one day later during the initial post-writing read-through, and throw this question at every sentence. There's no shame in producing drivel. Only in allowing it through.
This kind of close-focus work is something a good editor does naturally. It's a hard-won, difficult skill. This is just one reason why the current fad for saying self-publishers can now 'crowd-source' proofing and editing to their readers is utter bilge.
I'm delighted to be able to send you to an odd place in which you can see such a good editor in action, though I've no idea who the editor in question truly is.
Yesterday I wrote about the sad tale of the Kidwelly festival. It turns out that someone has set up a site dedicated to analysing the work of the organiser. You can find it here, though in order to make sense of what's going on you should scroll to the bottom and work your way up. It's an odd blog, essentially a piss-take. But some of the textual and grammatical points here are priceless and made in a very sharp and entertaining manner.
Such as…
"Her beauty ignored the morbid background of the ancient and neglected cemetery.
No it didn't — beauty is an abstract noun, it can't go around ignoring things. Maybe it made other people ignore the cemetery? Even then, what does that actually mean? Did they wander around tripping over gravestones? If it made them stare at Lise, then say that, for heaven's sake."
Precisely. There's a brief set of examples on that site. They're well worth reading, not just for the points they make but for an example of the painstaking, pedantic approach all of us should adopt when reading our own work before passing it on to others. SGS can strike at will and sometimes it can look so beguiling.
The older I get the more I think the best writing is pretty much invisible. If you notice it something's wrong. With The Killing I made a deliberate attempt to simplify my writing to the extent that it mirrored the blunt, monochrome nature of the TV series itself. I worried that might make me less 'readable', whatever that means. Judging by the feedback I get it actually makes me more.
Lessons to be learned all round here.
7 Responses to "It's what it means, not how it sounds"
Zoreslav Hi. I have a favor to ask. I'm not a native English speaker, in fact English isn't even my second language. I'm still learning. I would appreciate if you could help me to understand something, by explaining what is so wrong with the "beauty ignoring the background". A visual environment ("the background") tends to influence how we percept things placed upon it, right? Is it possible, that the author believed that being at the cemetery should have somehow made that person appear less lively and beautiful, but – surprize – she was so awesome, that her beauty ignored the grim environment and shined like a beacon and all that?I'm not saying that the sentence is not cheesy at all – still, it makes sense to me (some, at least). But you are a writer, and I'm trying to learn the language, so I am, probably, wrong. Right?
David Hewson Hi Zoreslav. You should probably aim that question at the person who made that comment on the site quoted. His/her point – a good one – is that beauty is an abstract noun. An abstract noun by its very definition can't 'do' things. So while a person can ignore something 'beauty' can't. Though I'm not the best person to explain these things – whoever wrote the original article would be much better placed for that.
Nancy DiMauro Great post. On the "her beauty" sentance , there are a few things "wrong" with it from my perspective. First, because "her beauty" is a thing and not a person it's not capable of noticing or ignoring anything. The sentance is also very distant. There's no point of view. Who is ignoring the cemetary because of "her beauty?" Instead of going for a "literary" feel, the writer would have been better to keep the sentance simple and clear. Ex. David watched Lise's lithe form and how the sunlight glinted on her hair as she walked. He stumbled over a headstone. Not perfect, but at least now I can "see" and understand what's happening.
Tim To Zoreslav – I'm not going to attempt to explain the exact problem with beauty ignoring anything, either, as I still struggle with defining terms in English even though it is my native language. I will just briefly say that the thing about the kind of mistakes highlighted here is that they often do, at first glance, appear to make some sort of sense, which is precisely how they slip through. (As opposed to – for example – 'friendly milk will countermand your trousers')
David Hewson Very well put, Tim.
JF 'Friendly milk will countermand your trousers' is the stuff of genius, and has made my day a little brighter.'The older I get the more I think the best writing is pretty much invisible.' If someone stood for election with that as a platform, they'd have my vote.I like to imagine an adaptation of 'Apocalypse Now' set on the Thames and telling the story of an editor determined to track and destroy an insane self-publisher. At the point in the original where Chef, post-tiger, says 'Never get out of the boat! Never get out of the boat!', our intrepid hero would snarl 'Never get in the way of the story! Never get in the way of the story!'.
Tim To be on the safe side I should mention that 'friendly milk…' is not mine but comes from a Fry & Laurie sketch… (I may even be misquoting slightly, doing it from memory)

Calum Barrett
The teenage custodian was the first choice once again for the U18s last term as the boys in claret and blue achieved a mid-table finish in the Barclays Premier Academy League. He also made four starts for the reserves as well as featuring in the FA Youth Cup third round defeat at Brighton. But the highlight of Barrett's season came in the NextGen Series. His first appearance in the prestigious European tournament came in a 3-2 defeat against Rosenborg in Trondheim. Then, with Siegrist ruled out of the quarter-final tie against Marseille at Villa Park through injury, Barrett stepped in and produced a coming-of-age performance with a string of fantastic saves. Barrett only began his full-time academy scholarship at Villa in 2010-11, but by then he had already made a huge impression at the club as a schoolboy. The Stafford-born keeper made his name in the FA Youth Cup quarter-final at Fulham in 2009-10 with two stunning saves in normal time before keeping out two penalty kicks to earn Villa a shootout victory. Having already proved himself to be a more than capable deputy to the injured Siegrist, Barrett was able to hit the ground running when he began the first year of his scholarship. He was Villa's regular first choice in both league and cup in 2010-11 as the boys in claret and blue clinched the Barclays Premier Academy League title with the fewest goals conceded of all the teams. An unfortunate dismissal in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals against Sheffield United failed to take the gloss off a fine season for the youngster. Barrett, who counts former Villa and Manchester United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel as his footballing idol, has impressed the coaching staff with his shot-stopping and ability to handle crosses. |

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
The House has given final congressional approval to a wartime spending bill of nearly $80 billion. The fast-track legislation also contains funds to combat terrorism, boost defenses at home and give new aid to airlines.
The Senate approved the package last night.
President Bush is expected to sign it into law quickly.
The bill passed by voice votes in the House and Senate prior to
a two week Easter recess. Both chambers were nearly empty at the
time of the votes.
Almost $63 billion will pay for the Pentagon costs of the Iraq invasion and battles elsewhere against terrorism.
Lawmakers are granting Bush little of the independence he asked
for in deciding how the money would be spent.

After nearly fifteen years as a solo practicioner, John Malone merged his practice with that of Sterling L. Bailey in 1996. Both John and Sterling had general practices including a mix of audit, tax, bookkeeping and consulting services – the standard 'full service' mix that the majority of local CPA firm practices have today. In 1996, we had two SEC clients.
By early 2001, John and Sterling had 13 SEC clients and one non-partner employee. We then hired a third partner specifically to serve our growing SEC practice niche and instituted a number of changes to the standard CPA firm practice model to maximize the efficiencies that the smaller SEC companies require: lower costs, faster service and more competent work product.
Our remarkable SEC audit growth has come from referrals from satisfied clients and other professional service providers. We are repeatedly told that the number one and two reasons for changing auditors are poor service and high fees.

Beman and Ballesteros Meet to Discuss a Foreign Truce
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros, one of the world's best and most popular golfers, and Deane Beman, the commissioner of the PGA Tour, may call a truce in their four-year war of words and come to some agreement that might permit the 32-year-old Spaniard to play more in the United States.
June 13, 1989, TuesdayBallesteros Is Best
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros of Spain, who won seven tournaments in seven countries, was named 1988 World Player of the Year by Golf Digest magazine.
December 20, 1988, TuesdayP.G.A. Championship; Ballesteros, Citing Schedule, Won't Rejoin U.S. Tour in 1989
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros, who won the British Open for the third time last month, said today he did not intend to rejoin the PGA Tour as a card-carrying member in 1989.
August 11, 1988, ThursdayIn Britain, All Hail Ballesteros
LEAD: On this, the 400th anniversary of the sighting of the Spanish Armada, a Spaniard was celebrating his third successful invasion of the British Isles.
July 20, 1988, WednesdayBritish Open; Price Shoots 67 For 1-Shot Lead
LEAD: Although the skies cleared and the rain stopped, the chilly winds persisted at about 20-25 miles an hour from the northwest today during the second round of the 117th British Open. So the back nine at the Royal Lytham and St. Annes links once again forced the players to make what headway they could on the downwind first nine holes.
July 16, 1988, SaturdayBallesteros Grabs Lead Despite Penalties
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros, who scrambled from a parking lot and 10 bunkers to win the 1979 British Open at Royal Lytham and St. Annes, played the same type of round today and led the 117th Open after a round that included two penalty shots.
July 15, 1988, FridaySports People; 8-1 Favorites
LEAD: The British bookies have made Sandy Lyle of Scotland and Seve Ballesteros of Spain betting favorites for the British Open, which starts Thursday at Royal Lytham-St. Annes in Lytham, England. Lyle and Ballesteros were made 8-1 choices, and American golfers were put down as longshots. ''Maybe they know something I don't,'' said Lyle, winner of the Masters earlier this year and the leading money-winner on the PGA Tour.
July 12, 1988, TuesdayBallesteros Seeks Confidence Boost
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros of Spain said today that one reason he hasn't won much this year was because of the confidence he lost when he was first man out of the three-man playoff in the 1987 Masters.
June 14, 1988, TuesdayBallesteros First After 4-Way Tie
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros, who lost on the first hole of a playoff at the Westchester Classic last year, returned to the scene of that defeat and beat Greg Norman, David Frost and Ken Green with a birdie 3 on the first extra hole today.
June 13, 1988, MondayGolf; Ballesteros Chasing a Dream
LEAD: Seve Ballesteros, who relinquished his PGA Tour membership three years ago because he refused to play the required minimum of 15 tournaments a year in the United States, said today he might return to a 15-event schedule in America next year.

Only a couple of weeks ago, I wrote about Andrew Marr's History of Modern Britain. Stuart Maconie's Hope and Glory covers the same period and calls itself A People's History of Modern Britain. For me, both texts filled gaps in my education or memory, and both are eminently readable. If anything, Marr's 'The Making of Modern Britain' and 'A History of Modern Britain' are more academic, more thorough and more detailed – but that was, of course, his intention, while Stuart Maconie's touch is light and humorous, though equally informative and knowledgeable.
For me, history is not really a Laugh Out Loud subject but Maconie's 346 pages are a good bedtime read with a smile produced by almost every page, even when he is broaching subjects like the horrifying demise of the Accrington Pals in the trenches of the Somme or the funereal years at Osborne on the Isle of Wight of the mourning Queen Victoria.
Maconie visits sleepy lost places like Arkholme (just a few miles away as I write) or the depressed town of Jarrow (origin of the failed hunger march of 1936) and relates them to the mainstream of British history during the twentieth century. Familiar slogans head his chapters, 'Because it's there' (Why did you want to climb Everest?) 'Not a penny off our pay … Not a minute on our day' (the miners' strike of 1926) and his lively narrative informs and amuses as he leads us in ten chapters through ten decades.
'Maconie is such an enjoyable writer' says the Guardian critic on the front cover. Indeed he is!

Good luck @LPowell! I hope everything goes perfectly.
Best wishes to you Lee!
Best wishes for a full and speedy recovery.
All the best!
@LPowell Best wishes to you for a successful operation and speedy recovery.
Here's to a quick recovery.
@LPowell - rest up and get that spine perfect like your work.
Hope everything goes great and you get relief from your pain.
hope all goes good, all the best
Good luck and all the Best!
I happen to be in the medical field and have experience with discectomy, kyphoplasty, etc.. Good luck with the surgery and do yourself a favor, when you start feeling better, remind yourself that you just had back surgery and slow down a bit. So many people have repeat surgeries because they start feeling better and push themselves before their bodies are fully recovered, then you have to cut through scar tissue and the chance of healing 100% is diminished.
Take care mate.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
Cheers mate! wish you a good recovery!
I also had back surgery myself six years ago...a discectomy L5/S1 as a result of a severe herniation with pinching of the sciatic nerve..and I have to credit daily walking as the best medicine to making a full recovery...of course, don't take my word for it, do as your MD and physical therapist advise in your case.
I wish you well and a fast recovery.
@LPowell Get well soon.
Best of luck. Don't forget that you will get better! When I was recovering from a spine injury I really felt like my PT sessions and exercises were huge. If I have any advice it's don't settle for a bad PT.
@LPowell Best of luck and a quick recovery.
Best results and speedy recovery. Also, I thank you for what you've done for us.
Get well soon and wishes for a speedy recovery! Much respect and well wishes @Lpowell !
My stars, man. All these get well wishes from all these good people from around the world. Feel good about that and heal thy body accordingly. Personally I think it all stems from that hilarious incident of you trying to move that little dot over and fade in. Little LeeP Jr was nowhere to be seen and so you turned to this site and got chuckles in response. With zeroes and ones up our algorithms it's the little old dots that can truly help us investigate the pains of being alive. Arr!
I wish for a successful operation and may you get well very soon. PV does not feel right without such a value contributor like yourself.
If you're having back surgery, things must be pretty bad. Hope it's successful!
As a guy with serious back problems myself, you have my empathy. Good luck.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Since then I've been running my other "hill" with thunderous success and nary a scaredy cat in sight but have been pining to go to Cady Way again. Last week Amanda from Run to the Finish mentioned she would be in town this week and would love to meet up for a run Monday night. So I told her it was my final hill workout and she agreed to tag along. What better day to tackle Cady Way again! So she met me at my digs after work last night and we headed over.
Yes I know, your Hill is bigger than my "Hill"
All sweaty after a great final hill workout

Outside In – The Film
Viewer Response
Dr. John Saltzman, Gastroenterologist
Educational Media Reviews Online (EMRO) – Reviewed by Kay Hogan Smith, University of Alabama at Birmingham, Lister Hill Library of the Health Sciences
- "In her early forties Dr. Katherine ("Kasia") Clark, received a diagnosis no woman wants to hear – advanced ovarian cancer. This film project documenting her experiences over the ensuing nine years was undertaken as both a record of the journey to help others as well as a creative form of therapy. That the subject is tough is undeniably true, as demonstrated throughout her fierce struggle to live her life on her own terms, not just as a patient, and certainly not as a victim. She is very frank, however, about the challenges – physical and emotional – of dealing with this insidious and unpredictable cancer. Interspersed with footage of her commentary are interviews with family, friends, doctors and therapists. The fact that Clark is herself a family physician also adds an interesting twist, particularly in her embrace of complementary therapies as a patient. Ultimately this filmed journal plays like a battle between two dogged fighters – Clark and cancer. Although the documentary ends inconclusively, the money is on Clark.
This would be a good film for ovarian cancer support groups or perhaps even gynecologic oncologists in training." Read the full review.
Video Librarian (educational journal read by academic and public libraries) – 3 STARS!
Female viewer – Commonwealth School Film Festival
- "It's inspiring — not just a medical film – everybody should see it!"
Dr. John Saltzman, Gastroenterologist
Director of Endoscopy Brigham and Women's Hospital
- "Very powerful…very direct, intimate and personal…. It certainly raised my consciousness to certain important patient issues that I was not previously sensitive to as I focus on the much easier issues of providing traditional medical care."
Andrew Solomon, Author "The Stone Boat" (relationship of gay man & mother w/OC) & other mental health publications
- "A remarkable film, very truly inspiring. People need to hear your story, not only as a personal journey, but also as a cautionary tale."
Deborah L. Levy, PHD, Director Psychology Research Laboratory, McLean Hospital
- "A remarkable accomplishment!…Kasia is a surrogate for millions of people who have shown heroic resolve and resilience in the face of terrifying experiences and uncertainty."
Paula Wolk, MD, Kasia's psychiatrist
- "Trying to be both medically accurate and informative and creative and cater to so many different people's sensitivities was not easy…I thought you did a great job."
Sandra Schulberg, Film Producer, Founder of Independent Feature Project
- "It's a powerful and important film that I think has a lot to teach, especially
to women. Kasia's life force and discipline are remarkable."
Orit Avni-Barron, MD – Director of Women's Mental Health at The Fish Center for Women's Health
- "As a physician, Outside In gave me the perspective of a patient struggling with a life threatening disease. As a fellow physician, it made me think about what it's like to switch places, being on the receiving end of treatment. As a psychiatrist, it inspired me to ponder upon the various meanings of 'treatment refusal.' As a woman, I found myself thinking about issues of body image, fertility, femininity and societal norms. As a human being, I was simply touched. What an important and inspiring piece of work!"
Brian Geldin, movie blogger
- "It's quite an inspirational story and an incredible journey. It's highly informative about ovarian cancer, and even more personal, as told from your perspective. You do an excellent job developing your character, and the people in your life that have been helping you along the way. Your story is unique in that you not only undergo traditional treatment and therapy, but your will for life, energy, and determination makes you a most inspirational person, and that shines through very well in the film."
- "The film speaks out to several demographics. First, to those undergoing cancer treatments, their families and loved ones, and medical professionals. Secondly, it is a film about relationships, yours being one that you spent many years with a woman, and then your discovery of your feelings about men. Therefore, this can be a film for the LGBT community. Thirdly, you have a strong feminine voice, and I feel this film speaks deeply to all women, whether or not their dealing with cancer. And finally, because of your tremendous athletic abilities, this can also be seen in the sporting world. Overall, it's a film for anyone and everyone should see it and be inspired by it, but you can easily target or market it to any of the above demographics…I think you will do great things with it."
Stephanie Paradise – Owner of New Age Health Spa
- "It was so incredible what you have been able to achieve and I was simply
blown away. Not only are you an amazing athlete, but a superb musician
and gorgeous to boot."
Lisa Heller – HBO Documentaries
- "We…found Kasia and her story quite extraordinary. What an incredible
woman…I know Kasia's story will touch and inspire many."
Myra Grand – Designer, DB DESIGN, wife of Internist Dr. Richard Grand
- "Magnificently documented film! The pervasive, beautiful use of shimmering light provided an uplifting aura throughout the video. Kasia's ever-present positive quest for quality and meaning in life was impressive and an inspiration to me."
David Buckle, MD – Family Practitioner, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital
- "I think it's beautifully done. You are very, very, very brave. You bare so much of yourself (literally, of your body, your thoughts, your past…). Your narration is excellent…the way you tell the story, in your own voice, with the wonderful score of music behind it, is very comforting. I was thinking of what the message was… It definitely comes around to living life in the moment, which you tied in at the end with the Thoreau quote (and how cool that you're swimming Walden Pond)."
- "I would want medical students and family medicine residents to see it. I would want people who work in oncology, and yes, palliative care (I know that you're not dying) to see it. I would like to show it to the family doctors in my hospital. It's a powerful movie."
Michael Glassbourg – Professor Film & Television, Humber College
- "I am very moved by it. It is a documentary that should be seen by a lot of people; both for the information and the relevance of the emotional journey. Through you, we learn about ourselves. Outside In is skillfully made, certainly skillfully structured…My congrats to everyone involved in the project."
Ben Achtenberg – Founder, Former President Fanlight Films
- "It was beautifully done, and integrated the various kinds of footage, photos, etc. very well."
Kathy L – 2-time Breast Cancer Survivor
- "I think that the film was beautifully done and enjoyed it immensely. It was very moving and I personally could relate with so many of Kasia's feelings that she expressed beautifully. I found the film to be done professionally, in a very artful manner, and thoroughly enjoyed the music. I can't say enough about the music…this film does need to be shown for all of those who do need the inspiration of her example, because it is so very inspiring. Anyone can choose what they view – we all make our own choices every day. It is an important piece of work."
Betty Dodson, sex therapist
- "…it was VERY impressive, well done and…you are a marvel. "
Michael Sales, Ed.D – Partner: Art of the Future, strategic management
- "It is a wonderful testimony to the Will to Live. Kasia is and will be an inspiration to many hundreds of thousands of people and, because of you, her story has been presented in a cogent and highly compelling fashion."
Holly Sklar – Warner Brothers story analyst
- "I …was very moved by your experience. Your persistence, determination, force of character and tremendous will are inspiring."
Joan H. Parker – Philanthropist, Educator, Author: Three Weeks in Spring (story of her breast cancer experience, co-written with noted novelist husband Robert B. Parker)
- "I … was struck by how brilliant and personal it was – I was completely drawn into Kasia's story – to see her crushed, almost broken, whole, and everything in between, provided such a life lesson. It also suggests maybe it's as important to be understood as it is to be loved. To be both and to also love, is all…It's a great film – thanks so much"

What do you think will be the first play of the game? I believe that ND will come out passing and let the pass set up the run, much like we did versus USC. What do you guys think?

Pendant Necklace
by Tim Sep 10th 2012
I was on a very short schedule (started Tuesday morning, needed jewelry in hand by Friday), and Words-to-Wear was nothing short of amazing! She started with an introduction with samples of her work, which were similar to or better than what I had in mind. We emailed back and forth several times, and in less than 3 hours we went from a design in my head for a pendant necklace, to a firm quote for a really great pendant necklace, another slightly different pendant necklace, and a matching keychain! Words-to-Wear stayed in contact throughout the process, and the items arrived on time, in their own boxes with ribbons and bows! These were gifts for my family for our baptism, and they loved them! I can't recommend Words-to-Wear enough for their quick response, personal and caring understanding, and doing what was needed to get the job done. The quality of the work is outstanding. Thank you so much Words-to-Wear!
