It's been my intent to edit an Indigenous-themed issue of Mascara for some time and after conversations with Lionel Fogarty in 2010 and then more recently, what started out as a gesture of exchange and friendship grew into something tangible. We are honoured to feature Lionel as our guest writer. I first heard him read in a café in Glebe in the 1990's and still have my copy of his New and Selected, signed with one of his miniature drawings. Back then, I loved how the music of his language is ungoverned by White grammar, semantics or syntax. It is purely Fogarty's Aboriginal voice that contains his meaning; a rare gift, a knowing expressed as plangent, humorous, angry, abused, with all the outward marks of inner grace.
It has been a trend to distinguish our female Indigenous writers and activists, sometimes overlooking the contributions of writers like Kevin Gilbert, W Les Russell, Samuel Wagan Watson. We hope you enjoy the selection of Lionel Fogarty's poems and the critically-nuanced review of his poetics by Tim Wright. It's wonderful to include "Father Divine" by Tony Birch, poems by the Canadian Indigenous poet, David Groulx, and Aimee Norton's review of US Indigenous writer Natalie Diaz as well as poetry by the Dalit writer, S Chandramohan: I recommend these.
I am indebted to Maurice O'Riordan for his assistance with the cover art. Chris Kelly is an emerging Indigenous artist whose installations evoke the brutal imposition of European customs and hierarchies on Indigenous children. Her laboriously carved bonnet and shoes depict the discomfort of the Stolen generation, many of whom were farmed as servants in colonial estates.
This is a time to celebrate Ali Cobby Eckermann's outstanding verse and prose, while The Swan Book by Alexis Wright is one of the most powerful novels I've read for a long time. Although the traumas of the past will never be undone and the future looks as bleak, the refusal of these Indigenous writers to accept white paternalist paradigms persuades me to believe that this issue of Mascara may not be our last.

We're delighted that our cover girl for issue 13 is TextaQueen's Headhunter, a post-apocalyptic portrait of DJ Pandie Panther. She reminds us of the ecological destruction caused by Pacific colonial exploits for sandalwood, copra and cotton. Even worse was the blackbirding which enslaved dark-skinned (indentured) Melanesians, Kanyakas, Indians and some Chinese for Australian and British ventures in Queensland and the South Sea islands. Headhunter reminds us that art and literature intersect with history to walk us back through the shadows of whiteness, of ritual, of colonial degradation, its economic and religious expansion, its moral relativism.
Is it possible that writing can know such realities without being tarnished? Can it sustain an exclusive imaginary? More and more we are asking ourselves the question just who is writing for whom, in whose language, and who is reading?
A new wave of the radical in Australian writing is being articulated by the vanguard white and black. Mascara would like to unmask; to become visible in this often polarised open field with alternative interpretations of resistance; to reimagine outcrops and archipelagos, ecologies which have and continue to be politically and aesthetically colonised as histories are recast in avid hegemonies of theory, language, race.
Because they abrogate English words, Lionel Fogarty's poems have not been edited. They remain their own Whitman-esque voice. Declaring kinship of Indigenous spirit with 'Asian Pacific warriors' Fogarty's poetics are highly intuitive of Indigenous knowledge and ground-breaking auguries of change. Ken Chau and Belle Ling's poems gesture towards and ironise race as post-identitarian. Stuart Barnes exploits the lyric's capacity to powerfully dramatise racial vilification. In Jen Webb's 'Four Cities' 'North has blurred/with south…', Corey Wakeling's 'Mute' is unobtrusively oblique while Luke Fischer sings to Cézanne. Madness is evoked from the unswerving realism of Suvi Mahonen's prose to the surreal intricacy of Peter Boyle's. The immediacy and unflinching tone of Rozanna Lilley's essay returns us to the abuse and traumas of creative life in the 1970s. Khanh Ha's "Size-Ten Boots" evokes the psychosis of jungle warfare from an Asian-American point of view while Mark Smith's "On the Port Keat's Road" is a harrowing account of Indigenous custody based on the author's experiences with the Nauiyu Community on the Daly River, NT.
One of our finest contemporary poets writing from postmodern and postcolonial perspectives is Fijian-Indian-Australian Sudesh Mishra, whose poetry is featured. Mishra's virtuousity with image and wit are matched by innovation. His long poem "Diaspora and the Difficult Art of Dying" subverts conventions of syntax, content, gesture, hybridising magic realism with a theoretical consciousness; it is extreme and delimited, its concretion undoing representation as the speaker is 'no longer the 'i of my origin'. With its corporeal hoverings, its historico-topographical levitations over Nandi, Mauritius, Trinidad, India, Sydney, and its aversion to sentimentality Mishra's revolutionary text poetically enacts Badiou's passion for the real in searching for 'the acreage of (his) prose'
To reimagine country is to go beyond tokenism or political constructs of self/Other, white/black, aesthetic/radical, moral/erotic, rational/psychotic. It is surely to recognise the contribution of writers such as Mishra to the richness of our translocal, inter-textualised perspectives. Minorities face pressure to resist the collective universal; some are implicated to emphasise the everyday, while others may be misrecognised by their innovations of what I describe as necessary epics. Materialist transcendence may not redefine the gaze, but it can radicalise with passionate departures.
Between the mainstream and the minority, the radical and the conventional there is exchange, borrowing, translation, alliance and multiple unions, some of which we hope you will chance upon and return to, among these pages.

This year has been one of transitions, as we attempt to renegotiate carbon economies, human rights abuses, and in our literatures, an identity of social cohesion and integrity. A trickle of Indigenous writers and migrant writers are appearing in anthologies, journals, publications and awards, suggesting our awareness that the White Australia of demographic legacies no longer resembles us. And yet, in the midst of culture wars, we are witnessing a regressive and brutal impasse for asylum seekers, beleaguered by the undercurrents of media-propagated myths. The truth and corruption of words―the way in which they divide and connect us― enmeshed as they are in our lives, is a reason for literature to respond.
In July, I travelled to Indonesia and Malaysia to assemble my own impressions of this crisis, which indirectly affects every one of us, and is the cover theme for Mascara's issue 12. Talking to refugees who have been waiting for years in limbo, I understood why the numbers of boat people continues to rise, and why so many have drowned. A decision to end their prolonged confinement becomes proactive, reflecting, as Robert Lowell writes, "man's lovely,/ peculiar power to choose life and die—"
Ultimately, change is the essence of our lives, and Death embodies that most plainly. Death, writes Emily Dickinson, is—the Hyphen of the Sea—the passage, the bridge and the pause.
Though a theme was not flagged for this issue many of the poems and stories reflect on death, flight, immigration and asylum, suggesting that such external matters are contested inwardly, in our imaginations, (that beautiful, antediluvian space), by impulses that may range from aesthetic to deconstructive.
Paul Kane's meditations on climate and death are intense, oblique renditions of the Japanese renga. Themes of flight are explored by Diane Fahey and Lyn Hatherley. Brett Dionysius's "Christmas Island Rat" takes a sharp perspective on the renewal of the Pacific Solution, Christine Ratnasingham's poems touch ever so lightly on the disturbing subject of racism. There is a subtle irony to the narration of Fikret Pajalic's "Red Dirt" with its metaphors of animal cruelty. And Sunil Badami takes a broad view on the themes of exile and hospitality in Alien Shores. Vrasidas Karalis' review of Southern Sun: Aegean Light is a fine overview of the linguistic and cultural aspects of Greek-Australian poetics, with their unique oral tradition and historicism. The fragmentation and ambivalence of linguistic descriptors for our societies-in-transition are beautifully assembled in David Herd's All Just, reviewed by Ann Vickery.
A century after her birth it is an honour to celebrate the Slovenian poet/chanteuse, Mila Kačič. Translated by David Brooks and Bert Pribac, her poems are reminiscent of the Russian symbolists with their evocation and carefully constructed imagery. They express an anxious thirst to liberate the deeply personal from the conventional.
This year saw the passing away of several seminal poets: Jack Gilbert, Peter Steele and Rosemary Dobson. Geoff Page's review of Rosemary Dobson's Collected is a fine tribute to her poetry and her life.
But not all the contributions are in sympathy with these themes. Jal Nicholl's review of Stephen Edgar's fine collection, The Red Sea, takes its own ethno-poetic slant. And many other writers excel in speculative, experimental and daring pieces, (Dan Disney, Paul Giffard-Foret, Ainslee Meredith, Madeleine Slavick and Laura Woollett, to name a few.) I've no doubt our readers will enjoy the challenge of this diversity, which we consider to be essential.
Toby Fitch's interview with John Tranter is a candid, witty and insightful portrait of one of our most significant poets, the development of his New York-Down Under marque of poetics, its sassy shearing away from the mainstream. It sheds light on our history of cultural cringes and an impulse to associate reflexively, ironically, et toute à la blague.
It's timely to mention that there have been daunting editorial transitions and challenges for the journal to overcome and new directions to embrace, for which I'm very much indebted to our friends, colleagues, and grateful to the Literature Board.

December, 2012
I walked in the rain today on pavements strewn with bright autumn leaves and glistening seed pods until I lost the threads of my thoughts and a calmness entered my mind. I write best when I yield to that other world, leaving behind the irritations, anxieties, disappointments, errors, false starts. I forget my imperfect language, its conscious structure of arbitrary names. I start to be attuned to the music of silence, complex and polyphonic, varied, beyond meaning. "There's nothing special about being a writer; it's no different to any other profession," a friend said to me recently on Skype, a remark which left me quizzical, possibly defensive.
Is there a need to justify literature? Is it not true that we become self-conscious when we try to do so. We renew elitist paradigms, conflating our intentions as writers, disguising the ways in which with complicity we oppress, or exploit Otherness. Do I write to invent myself like Foucault, or to forget like Borges? Does literature serve the Muse, the reader, history, or culture?
Literature carries all these registers at different times. I think my own writing is a journey to find a language for the unspeakable, a journey of imperfection and risks, some greater than others, and quite impossible to measure. That's all, really. But maybe it's enough.
Our encounters with difference have caused so much language to be erased. Of two hundred and fifty Indigenous languages that were spoken when Europeans first invaded this country, over a hundred and thirty are now critically endangered and perhaps only twenty or thirty are being spoken. Language can seduce, transcend, reconcile or violate, claiming what it desires in the name of empire, as Sujata Bhatt reminds us in "A Different History":
Which language
has not been the oppressor's tongue?
Which language
truly meant to murder someone?
And how does it happen
that after the torture
after the soul has been cropped
with a long scythe swooping out
of the conqueror's face-
the unborn grandchildren
grow to love that strange language.
(Brunizem, 37)
We are ourselves the coloniser, the foreign one. We have become 'that strange language' of epistemic violence. And Bhatt suggests that unless we resist or negotiate the received tongue, we transcendentalise the ground on which we stand. "The poem splits,/It has no desire to become a nation," David Herd writes in "One by One".
It has been my privilege as editor of this journal to observe resistance, what Wallace Stevens described as "the imagination pressing back against the pressure of reality." For reality is the homogenising tongue, the single, archetypal narrative. We have archived so many different stories and languages that it seems to me that this journal belongs to its contributors. It pleases me immensely to have published work by new and exciting writers and researchers from here and abroad. I think of Ocean Vuong, Luke Johnson, Eileen Chong, Nabina Das, Fatima Bhutto, Tessa Lunney, Debbie Lim, Peter Dawncy, Mona Attamimi, Bella Li, Laura Woollett, Jo Langdon, Michelle Dicinoski, Desh Balasubramaniam, Jane Kim, Omar Musa, Tim Wright, Misbah Kokhar, Jessie Tu, Ansley Moon, James Stuart, Jessika Tong, Andrew Carruthers, Peycho Kanev, Brooke Linford, Angelina Mirabito, Theophilus Kwek, Sally Fitzpatrick, Aimee Norton, Stephanie Ye, Carol Chan and Ellen van Neervan-Currie, just to name a few. For some, Mascara Literary Review was their first publication.
In considering these voices I begin to question the defining canons by which culture oppresses difference and erases language. I'm persuaded that writing is both a yielding and a resistance, which in deconstructing itself, does make things happen.
Michelle Cahill
June 2012
In "Asphodel, That Greeny Flower" William Carlos Williams says that poetry has no news to deliver, nothing sensational or glamorous to advertise, "yet men die miserably everyday/ for lack/of what is found there." Poetry doesn't make things happen,
to use Auden's words. It doesn't stop wars, feed the hungry or stop the earth from being abused. Yet it is perhaps precisely of its
non-utilitarian value that we need it so much, every crust, every scrap of it. In a world where everything is measured in economic terms, poetry is essential because it resists being calibrated, reminding us that the seemingly most useless things are the most vital to our being alive.
That is what poets do each day, paying attention to what seems insignificant and worthless. Being attentive, observing Pound's
imperative to making it new again and again, and making connections, wiring the different parts within themselves and also awakening hidden connections to the rest of the world. Images, events, thoughts are inexplicably related, brought together in a significant but not immediately comprehensible conjunction. In "Hamid Ramouz" (1818-1906) Raymond Carver experiences a moment when two disparate things meet:
This morning I began a poem on Hamid Ramouz –
soldier, scholar, desert explorer –
who died by his own hand, gunshot, at eighty-eight.I had tried to read the dictionary entry on that curious man
to my son – we were after something on Raleigh –
but he was impatient, and rightly so.It happened months ago, the boy is with his mother now,
but I remembered the name: Ramouz –
and a poem began to take shape.All morning I sat at the table.
Hands moving back and forth over limitless waste,
as I tried to recall that strange life.
The poem is a wonderful example of how two individuals from different countries and cultures meet. The subject of the poem is
ostensibly Hamid Ramouz, but the deeper theme is the fact of the poet's present condition, his loneliness. We are not told much
about the Hamid, but his career and suicide are somehow relevant to Carver's own life. The connection deepens the tragic chord in the poem.
Poetry is about waiting, listening for these connective chords. It is about uncovering the vast networks of bloodlines linking the poet to his immediate world and the wider world out there, weaving threads between cultures and languages.
This little poetry stand aims to do just that, share a bit of what is found there, the connections we discover as we encounter the world anew each day. Mascara is interested in the way poems locate individuals, and how they connect cultures and languages. It welcomes poems from Australia, Asia and the rest of the world, poems from different ethnicities and cultures that offer new ways of seeing and being. The word "mascara" derives from mask, and it is about putting on a different mask each day, Yeatsian or not, and seeing with different eyes. It is interested in the way Australia looks out and upwards, to Asia, and way Asia and the other regions return the gaze. It hopes that the poems and essays on poetry and poetics will arrive to challenge the way we position ourselves, the news from the different quarters renewing the way we imagine ourselves and the world.

curse's revenue model is based on ads for non premium users.
they even do a silly youtuber program that they insert ads into your videos for like 3 cents a view
i would guesstimate the majority of their revenue comes from ads on sites like aionsource on their network.

Immersion Experience
The New Day Yoga Immersion Experience is designed for intermediate yoga students who are already familiar and comfortable with yoga topics such as chakras, mudras, intermediate asana, basic pranayama, chanting, and meditation. Each Immersion covers detailed anatomy and asana that relate to one of the major chakras and includes Ayurvedic principles, Bible Scripture study, group discussion, creative workshops, and praise and worship. The Immersions coincide with the New Day Yoga Advanced Teacher Training program and can be taken in any order. Each Immersion stands alone and is a complete and unique experience separate from the others, taking the participant into a deeper relationship with Jesus as well as into a deeper understanding of oneself. Come and see how powerful yoga practice can be when it is centered, grounded, and focused on becoming more like Jesus in body, mind, and spirit.
There are six Immersion Experiences available, with each beginning on a Monday at 3pm and ending on a Saturday at 2pm. Each Immersion offers 45 hours of guided instruction as well as time for personal study and reflection.

The Immersion Experiences may be taken in any order. Each one is a separate study of a specific chakra, its corresponding anatomy, asana, energy, psychology, physiology, philosophy and spirituality. As with all New Day Yoga offerings, this one is from a Christian perspective. Although traditional concepts and yoga philosophy are included, it is the Bible that remains the authoritative final word on the topics discussed.
Immersion Topics
All Immersion Experiences will include the study and practice of asana, principles of alignment, pranayama, chant, mudra and meditation, as well as Ayurveda, yoga philosophy, the mention of traditional yogic texts and the Holy Bible.

Chakra 6 & 7 Immersion: Anatomy of the Mind; Restorative Asana
Benedictine Sisters Retreat Center, 916 Convent Road, NE, Cullman, AL 35055. The Retreat Center is two hours north of Birmingham and three hours west of Atlanta. Our group will be staying in Benet Hall. Each participant will have a private bedroom and will share a bath with one or two other yoginis.

Cost: Instruction and Accommodations
The cost of each Immersion Experience is $935. A non-refundable $250 deposit is required at registration. The cost includes fifty hours of instruction, a notebook for the Immersion Experience, lodging for five nights and all meals from Monday night dinner to Saturday lunch. Our group will also have use of the new retreat chapel, a separate meeting room for our yoga practices, the outdoor labyrinth, and a private dining area. Space is limited to 11 participants.
Dayna Gelinas, E-RYT 500, is the teacher and guide for each of the Immersion Experiences. For more information about her, please visit About Dayna.
Suggested Texts
- For All Immersions: 1) Holy Bible (any translation), 2) Key Muscles of Yoga by Ray Long, 3) The Heart of Yoga by T.K.V. Desikachar,4) New Day Yoga Notebook for each Immersion.
- For Chakra 1 Immersion: Anatomy for Vinyasa Flow and Standing Poses by Ray Long
- For Chakra 2 Immersion: Anatomy for Hip Openers and Forward Bends by Ray Long
- For Chakra 3 Immersion: The Psoas Book by Liz Koch
- For Chakra 4 Immersion: Anatomy for Backbends and Twists by Ray Long
- For Chakra 5 Immersion: Anatomy for Arm Balances and Inversions by Ray Long
- For Chakras 6 & 7 Immersion: Relax and Renew by Judith Lasater
Pre-requisites and Requirements
- You must have practiced yoga consistently with a teacher for at least two years at the experienced 1-2 Level. The Immersion Experience is not for beginners, nor for those who do not feel confident in a personal practice.
- You must be familiar with all basic yoga poses by name (English and/or Sanskrit) and through experience, including backbends and inversions such as handstand, shoulderstand, and headstand. You do not have to be a master at these postures, but you should be working toward them in your practice unless there are physical reasons why you would not be.
- You must complete a registration and/or application.
- Attendance at the scheduled sessions for the week is highly encouraged but is optional.
One Final Note:
Although the Immersion Experiences will be comprehensive, detailed, thorough, and structured, they will also provide you with an ashram experience of sorts. The secluded location in the Benedictine Sisters Retreat Center in Cullman, Alabama invites introspection, peace, and rest. As with all New Day Yoga offerings, the Holy Spirit is always the honored and respected Guest who is invited to guide and direct us. You can expect God to touch you in a special way as we seek to understand more fully how "fearfully and wonderfully" we are made through the practice and study of Yoga from a Christian perspective.

Situated at the bottom of the Royal Mile, near the Scottish Parliament it is easily accessible from almost anywhere in the city centre.
Our Dynamic Earth is an experience you are unlikely to ever forget. Go on an interactive journey which will take you from the Big Bang up to this planet's future – let yourself be dropped into the history of our beautiful earth (using 3D and 4D technology): Your kids can experience a journey into space from the perspective of an astronaut, feel a monsoon coming down on their skin in the tropics, and discover what it is like to be shaken by an earth quake that is reshaping whole continents…the whole family will love to let their senses explore what it means to live in our universe.
You'll also travel different ages in the history of the planet we call home, and you'll learn how different corners of the world have evolved to become what they are today. The effects are so real you will have to bring a change of warm clothes to make sure no one's cold in the Antarctic!
Our Dynamic Earth has thoughtfully been designed with children in mind: there is the Ocean Commotion Play Area, whisking the little ones away to the bottom of the sea in a yellow submarine. Our Dynamic Earth also works with the Edinburgh International Science Festival to offer exciting educational events over the Easter period – among them "In the Footsteps of Giants." This will take them out to the magnificent Salisbury Crags, while learning about Edinburgh-born Lord James Hutton and how he influenced the way we look at the land we live on – can you think of a better way to get an authentic feel for Edinburgh?

Michael Hitzges denies drinking on campus day after arrest
It was a typical Tuesday at Broad Run High School in Ashburn except for one notable absence.
A day after Broad Run biology teacher Michael Hitzges was arrested on accusations that he was drunk on campus, he says that by no means was he drinking on campus.
"I wasn't drinking at school," Hitzges said outside his Loudoun County apartment. "I had some drinks the night before, woke up and went to work.
"I wouldn't do that. I wouldn't put anyone in jeopardy."
Hitzges, who was charged with public intoxication, says that he was not drunk from the night before, either.
Loudoun County Sheriff's officials say that a school resource officer reported to administration that Hitzges appeared to be intoxicated at Broad Run on Monday. In an email to parents, Principal Doug Anderson said that the school was cooperating fully with authorities in the investigation.
Hitzges, 47, has been teaching at Broad Run since 2004, and parents remain concerned about the example being set.
"I don't think it's a very good influence for teachers to be at school, drunk, with teenagers," Broad Run parent Karen Haywood said.

I guess on one hand I was a little surprised by the game and on the other hand, I wasn't.
You all know as well as I do that consistent football is typically played by more experienced teams. We're not an experienced team and we have a bunch of new faces and young guys. I guess I was hopeful that they could build on the prior week's game and get in a groove. But let's face it, we're a young team.
I'm optimistic and a fan so I'm always pulling for the fellas. "Reality is what it is." I know you're thinking. "Coop is a master of the obvious," right? Some will say that being young is just an excuse. Some will say they're tired of hearing it. We're young and we simply got out-played.

When Roald Dahl wrote Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, he imagined a much-coveted golden ticket that granted access to myriad wonders and unveiled the inner workings of an entire industry. Adele Fridman, founder of MetaBody, created a real-life version of that ticket with her MetaBody Yoga & Fitness Pass, though it applies to fitness instead of candy. The pass grants access not to a single gym but to classes at a variety of local studios, specializing in everything from yoga to boot camp. With the freedom to move from location to location, students can sample different regimens, instructors, and styles of exercise to cobble together a program that fits their needs and goals. MetaBody's nutritionists supplement class packages by coaching clients in healthy eating, recipe cooking, and speed-reading nutrition-fact labels.

pumpkin ale
i baught a pumpkin ale kit and i want to use pumpkin in it how much pumpkin should i use
People seem use anywhere from 0-60oz of canned.
i got a fresh pumpkin i will be using it just not sure of how much of it to use
fresh? use 60 oz of baked mush in it
I'm about to make a Pumpkin Porter, will be adding 30oz canned pumpkin @ 15 min before end of boil.
I used canned yams. At the time I couldnt find any pumpkin, but I used two of the large cans, baked them for one hour at 350 and added them to my boil with 30 min. left.
It has been bottled for two weeks now. I think I will crack one open tonight and give it a try! |
If you really want to use a fresh pumpkin, skin it, take the guts out, dice the meat, mash it with a potato masher, roast it at 350*F for 90 minutes, dump into boil. Use it all! You're doing a pumpkin ale! For me, more pumpkin = more tastiness! :D |

Optimal Long-Term Financial Contracting
We develop an agency model of financial contracting. We derive long-term debt, a line of credit, and equity as optimal securities, capturing the debt coupon and maturity; the interest rate and limits on the credit line; inside versus outside equity; dividend policy; and capital structure dynamics. The optimal debt-equity ratio is history dependent, but debt and credit line terms are independent of the amount financed and, in some cases, the severity of the agency problem. In our model, the agent can divert cash flows; we also consider settings in which the agent undertakes hidden effort, or can control cash flow risk. , Oxford University Press.Download Info

The Quick and Dirty:
You like the title of this page? That's pretty much what I'm giving you here—the most salient facts of the moment. You should probably note that "of the moment" can mean quite a few months ago, as I'm perpetually disorganized and scatterbrained.
The first item of salience is that the last Theta Alpha Gamma book, Poster Boy, will be out April 21, 2013, and is available for preorder now from Riptide Publishing.
Next item of salience is that Edmond Manning, Josephine Myles, Clare London and I will be having the Cockwalk event again at GayRomLit 2014, in Chicago. We're accepting artwork for this, just as last year, and yes, it has to be penis-themed. If you aren't going to be there but still want to make something, you can contact me by email at anne @ annetenino.com and we'll work it out. Oh, and I've finally managed to make a PDF of my own Crochet Penis and Scrotum Pattern <—- click on this to download.
Lastly, I'll post my conference appearance schedule for this year (2014), in case anyone cares.
RT Booklovers Convention in New Orleans, May 13-18—I won't be in the big book signing, but you can find me at the Riptide table on occasion, I'll be at Club RT on May 16th at 11:15, and I'll be at the Riptide Publishing spotlight.
Gay Romance Northwest Meet-up in Seattle, September 20—there isn't a schedule yet, but I know I'll be there . . .
GayRomLit in Chicago, October 16-19—I will definitely be at the Cockwalk, of course, and I'll have some kind of spotlight and be at the book signing. Other than that, chances are you'll find me at the bar.
Um, I think that's all for now . . .

Will the Kindle ignite Apple's tablet strategy?
Amazon's success could prompt a major redesign of the iPad.
According to DigiTimes, Apple could come up with a 7.85-inch iPad next year in order to overcome the challenge posed by the 7-inch Kindle Fire tablets, even as other competitors such as Research in Motion (RIMM) and Motorola Mobility (MMI) continue to struggle in the tablet market.
Apple's Steve Jobs famously once proclaimed that competitors' 7-inch tablets are "Dead on Arrival," saying that tablets should have a 10-inch screen at a minimum for an optimum user interface experience (see Do 7-Inch Tablets Stand a Chance?). This theory stemmed partly from the perception that the 7-incher is a tweener -- too big to be a smartphone and too small to be an effective tablet. If Apple indeed comes up with a 7- to 8-inch tablet, it will be a significant design change from the current 10-inch screen of the iPad.We believe that the iPad 3 will be a high performance iPad with some attractive features such as voice recognition service Siri, presently a key feature of iPhone 4S. The new iPad might also have a high resolution screen. On the other hand, Apple could launch a cheaper version of the iPad with fewer features without reducing the screen size dramatically.
Our $500 price estimate for Apple stock is about 30% above market price.

I have used the green Garnier stick which is similar in the past but was not impressed, so when I saw that this product was a 2 in 1 roll on I thought that they had improved it. I was wrong.

The item comes in a box which is simple packaging. The stick itself has a lid which you remove to find a round silver ball at the end which as it rolls across the skin leaves the liquid which is very similar to foundations i have seen used. You can roll this straight onto the skin below the eye and then blend in using finger tips. ... Read the complete review

I recently bought this after trying different concealers for years and not being overly impressed, I saw this on offer in Wilkinsons and decided to give it a try.It is fantastic! I do suffer from puffy eyes and this works a treat, goes on nice and cold to give you a quick wake up call and you can layer the concealer on as much as you wish by keeping to roll it.I cannot believe I spent so much money over the years on expensive concealers and after using this I will not be going back, I have even introduced it to my friends and family.

Suffering from dark circles can make you look dull and unenergised so I was really excited when this prouct came on the market especially as it was tinted so it could also act as an undereye concealer.

I suffer from dark circles around my eyes, whether I've had a good night's sleep or not.

Spurs Rout Heat In NBA Finals Game 3
This game was televised live on KCRG-TV9, as every game of the finals is. The TV9 News at 10 p.m. will follow Thursday's game 4.
SAN ANTONIO, Tex. (AP) — Gary Neal and Danny Green listened to their coach and kept on shooting. Shaking off a humiliating blowout for the biggest game in San Antonio since 2007 — blame that on the gridlock that made Tim Duncan and Tony Parker late to the AT&T Center — the Spurs kept giving LeBron James fits in the NBA Finals and ran away to a 2-1 series lead over the Miami Heat with a 113-77 victory Tuesday night. "Feel confident, let 'em fly, get your name in the paper," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich barked during a timeout in the second quarter, when Game 3 was still in doubt. Green scored 27 points and Neal had 24. They combined for 13 3-pointers. Game 4 is Thursday night.

Bryan Fischer's latest bit of stupid is to claim that every single claim in the Bible can be trusted because "every time we can cross-check the Bible's record of history against external sources, it matches matches up every time." Yeah. Except that whole global flood thing. And the age of the earth. And the stopping of the sun. And the resurrection of the saints. And…

Fischer: Everything in the Bible is Objectively True
21 comments
… the deaths of the first born, the exodus from Egypt, the political arrangements of Roman's and local authorities, the names and dates of Roman appointed governors, lack of corners on a roughly spherical planet, inability to see the entire planet from a tall mountain, the return of the messiah before the deaths of the first generation of Christians….
Fischer (and folks like him) don't check claims against facts; they check the facts against the claims. With a method like that, along with a healthy dose of "poof! god can do anything!" magical thinking, the bible can't lose.
The bible's real strength is in astronomy.
The earth is flat.
Orbited by the sun.
The moon is a glow in the dark disk.The stars are just lights stuck on the ceiling, which is a dome.
The dome has doors, called the gates of heaven. This is so god can pour water on us when he gets annoyed and kill a few million or billion people.
Slightly off topic, but am I the only one here who's tired of blog posts consisting almost entirely of RWW videos of wingnuts? I don't like to click on them as I value my brain cells and would rather not have to put on headphones to avoid bothering those around me. Give me a transcript, or a more detailed summary.
#6 Tre: I share your preferences. Additionally, my employer inexplicably views Youtube as a sub-optimal source of employee productivity and blocks it. But as long as the blog is free, we'll have to take it as it comes, I'm afraid…
Jesus said:
…a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth.
http://bible.cc/mark/4-31.htmBut the bible is wrong — poppy, petunia, begonia, and orchid seeds are all smaller than mustard seeds.
The infuriating part of this is that Brian Fischer is a reasonably well-educated man (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Fischer), and no doubt knows better. He's just not stupidly ignorant; he's a calculating LIAR whose sole interest is conning more people into sending him and his benighted organization more and more money. The oldest scam in history: tell people what they want to hear, and allay their nagging doubts that this garbage can't possibly be true.
Hey Brian, here's a reasonable alternative scenario: The bible is fiction. The entire story was made up. After all, it's a lot easier to get followers to your new cult when you can tell this great story about how your prophet rose from the dead! Wow! And I can, too? Yowzah, where do I sign up?
@#10: Unfortunately, it's long been known that neither intelligence nor education are any guarantee of sanity. I've known lots of well-educated right-wing fundie engineers. Very good at their jobs, demented otherwise.
I just noticed that I misspelled the "gentleman's" name. Maybe I'll fix it. Nah. My spelling is the correct one, absolute fact. The one in WP is a mistake. If he can do it, I can too.
The infuriating part of this is that Brian Fischer is a reasonably well-educated man
It could be another case of fundie xian induced cognitive impairment syndrome.
Greed induced fundie xianity syndrome. There are many droning idiots who ended up multi-millionaires from this.

Does it bother anyone seeing an RE-20 abused by having it's ports blocked?
The proper way to suspend it: http://www.newmediagear.com/images/re_vid.jpg
Dear Bryan:
Please define "beginning". Because if the bible is objectively true, we may have a problem with the definition of "beginning".
For example, if you're measuring the course of events over a two-week period … what constitutes the "beginning" of that two week period? Is it Sunday only, or maybe the next day Monday? How about Tuesday? If something was said to occur at "the beginning" of that 2-week period, does Tuesday count as "the beginning"? Certainly not Wednesday, could it? Or Saturday? Or a week from "the beginning"? Heck, you're halfway through the 2-week period by then. Surely, you can't mean "the beginning" to mean more than half of the allotted time — could you?
How about the following Tuesday? And how about translating 14 days to 14 billion years — a rounded off approximation of the age of the universe.
According to cosmologists, out of the 14 "days" (aka billion years) from the "beginning" on Sunday wasn't followed by the formation of the earth until almost a week and a half later — about Tuesday of the second week. 9 of the 14 "days" expired before the Earth coalesced from the dust of space.
If that's the definition of "beginning"…well, OK then. Otherwise, the bible is literally falsified 10 words in. And I'm afraid it only gets worse as you go along.
Kindest regards.
@5 biblical unicorns actually exist – ever heard of rhinoceroses? Similarly, leviathan is another name for elephant and komodo dragons are also still around. Of course the biblical accounts are retelling of stories about such creatures (or perhaps now-extinct cousin species to the well known modern varieties).
Mythic stories about wonderful creatures aren't really much of a case against the bible's reliability. But they're part of the case that the good book is the good story book.
not only are the details wrong, THE ENTIRE HISTORY of the old testament is fabricated.
there has never been ONE bit of archeological support even for an Exodus like was described there, and most of the kings mentioned never existed.
Hector Avalos spent 30 years researching the issue himself, as a christian, expecting to eventually find support.
there was none.
it's worth hearing him tell the tale yourself, if you haven't yet:
I suspect his definitions of objective and truth and evidence are all noticeably different from mine. In fact, since he seems to be speaking wingnutlish, I suspect most of his definitions are both different and contextual. For instance, if it's in a certain book, it must be objective, the truth, and all the evidence that is needed. But if it's in another book, say a famous one by a Mr C Darwin, it cannot be true, is a non-objective fantasy, and lacks evidence.
The bible does get some things right; stopped watches and all that.
pacal: And don't forget that according to the Bible Pi = 3.
This is true, if your math consists of adding and subtracting whole numbers.
Also, bats are "birds" if you are using a word that was translated as "bird", but whose meaning was flying critters, not bugs. But the bible also gets much stuff wrong that can be easily observed, e.g. exposing pregnant cows to striped staffs won't produce more striped calves. Did *nobody test that claim over many centuries? I suppose we shouldn't hold God and his followers too accountable – the scientific method hadn't been developed yet.
.And of course General Joshua had no trouble defeating Jericho. God was so powerful that he knocked down the walls with an earthquake several centuries before Joshua was born.

592 Credit Score
From DWiki
What Is A Credit Score or FICO Score?
A credit score, also known as a FICO Score is a number that summarizes your credit risk, based on a snapshot of your credit report at a particular point in time. A credit score helps lenders evaluate your credit report and estimate your credit risk. The most widely used credit scores are FICO scores, the credit scores created by Fair Isaac Corporation.
What Makes Up a Credit Score?
Your FICO score is essentially made up of the following:
* Payment History – 35% * Total Amounts Owed – 30% * Length of Credit History – 15% * New Credit – 10% * Type of Credit in Use – 10%
How can I Rank My Score?
Scores are assigned a numeric value of between 300 and 850. Here is the general scale and what the scores may mean:
700 and above: Excellent / Very Good Credit. You are considered a low credit risk by institutions and would generally qualify for the lowest interest rates and repayment terms.
680 -699: Good Credit. You will usually be approved for loans with favorable terms.
620-679: Reasonable Credit. You are a moderate credit risk, and while you won't usually be refused credit, you will not be able to borrow at the best rates.
550-680: Poor credit. You may have to shop around to find a lender willing to approve an application for you, and your loans will be quite expensive.
below 550: Very bad credit. You are considered a high risk customer and will have difficulty finding lenders. You will have to look seriously at some strategy of 'credit repair'.
