Chalmers Johnson
Chalmers Johnson has died. I read Sorrows of Empire in college, but that's about the extent of my knowledge of him. This is a pretty good overview of his work.
I remember not being impressed with Sorrows. That's probably a function of what I wanted out of it: a good argument that there was such a thing as an American empire. His definition was looser than mine was, so I wasn't happy. Plus, he ventured awfully close to 9/11 conspiracy theory. Thinking back, though, it was a better book than I gave it credit for. The extent to which we have military bases around the world is really astonishing and it does us little good. His warnings about what our foreign policy will lead us to resonate with me more now, as I'm less focused on intentionality and more on consequences. I also didn't realize that Johnson was Right wing, which is a nice commentary on how Left and Right foreign policy critiques can sound pretty similar.
At this point, I think of him more like Andrew Bacevich: probably correct, but I wish he wasn't.
Overly optimistic
I'm just going to say that while closing Guantanamo and ending the Iraq war will indeed help against al Qaeda, let's not get ahead of ourselves. 9/11 happened before all that and as long as we still have troops in Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries, we're not dealing with the core of the problem. And since Obama has made no noises to that end, his impact will probably be limited. Positive, but limited.
Obama's been in office almost a week. We seem to be on the march towards some sort of Marxist utopia where government is more transparent, we don't run secret prisons, and we don't torture people. Craziness.
Of course, we still have destructive policies regarding Afghanistan and Israel and a terrible economy. Which Obama won't and can't fix (respectively).
Could be worse.
Go watch
I recently finished Andrew Bacevich's The Limits of Power, which is an excellent book. I've been meaning to write a review, as Bacevich is a conservative and there are a couple points that I disagree with, but are interesting to mull over. I still may, but I have to say that this Bloggingheads discussion with Bacevich is much better than my review would be. It hits some of my issues and it's just really interesting. So if you have an hour, go watch it.
(via Daniel Larison)
Go. Read.
We don't torture people, though.
Also, curse you, overzealous defenders of copyright! I wanted to link to a video of Baltar denying the occupational government tortures people. But no…
What a wimp
According to this guy:
Having been subjected to this technique, I can say: It is risky but not entirely dangerous when applied in training for a very short period. However, when performed on an unsuspecting prisoner, waterboarding is a torture technique – without a doubt. There is no way to sugarcoat it.
Unless you have been strapped down to the board, have endured the agonizing feeling of the water overpowering your gag reflex, and then feel your throat open and allow pint after pint of water to involuntarily fill your lungs, you will not know the meaning of the word.
Waterboarding is slow-motion suffocation with enough time to contemplate the inevitability of blackout and expiration. Usually the person goes into hysterics on the board. For the uninitiated, it is horrifying to watch.
What a pansy that guy is. We all know it's just like dunking someone in a bucket of water. Our television characters do it all the time and they're awesome.
Religious scholar Karen Armstrong is offended by ignorance of Islam:
RELIGIOUS scholar Karen Armstrong says she is defending Islam as it has been portrayed inaccurately in many ways, particularly in western countries.
She said when Islam, a religion professed throughout the world, is portrayed inaccurately and misrepresented, it offended her intellectually.
"When Islam is projected incorrectly, inaccurately and distorted, it also gives rise to fundamentalism among certain people.
Let's just back up here. Islamic fundamentalism was quite strong before 9/11, which was before Islam became an issue to most people. After 9/11, our fuck up in Iraq has done a solid job of keeping fundamentalism strong. Inaccurate criticism of Islam is hardly something to worry about with regard to creating fundamentalists.
Armstrong, a well-known author on world religions, said owing to prejudice and hatred, millions of Jews were killed due to Germany's Nazi atrocities during the Second World War.
This dark history happened in Germany, a western country which prides itself as being very enlightened.
"But we (the western world) seem to learn nothing (from this) as after that there were concentration camps in Yugoslavia. We seem to be heading for greater darkness," she said.
Call me crazy, but I don't think we're particularly close to tossing Muslims in ovens. In fact, it looks to me like Islamic regimes are far closer to that point. Of course, it would be unfair of me to conflate radical Islamic fundamentalists and your average Muslim.
On the other hand, Armstrong has her priorities out of whack here. The fundamental barrier to a good relationship between the West and Islam is Islamic fundamentalism. What does Armstrong's hand-wringing do to help that situation? Absolutely nothing. She's whining about the symptoms when she should be working on defeating the cause.
Finest moment this isn't
There was a shooting in Idaho and it turns out that the gunman has ties to the Aryan Nations. Jay comments and Craig responds.
Let's start with Jay's post. He quotes Dave Neiwert to claim that the this was "certain[ly]" a political statement:
What's clear is that Hamilton fully intended to take as many people with him as possible; that's why he began by targeting the dispatcher's office, where he knew he would get police response. And considering his extremist background, it is certain this was intended as some kind of political statement. It was, by most definitions, an act of domestic terrorism.
It's not certain. That's a completely absurd statement. As Craig points out, that's where the shooter's wife works. It's perfectly consistent with a personal rampage. It's absolutely not anything approaching "certain."
Jay then tries to spin the whole thing into a lesson that we should take Islamic terrorism less seriously:
Furthermore, 42% of Christians consider themselves "Christians first," not "Americans first."
And in a post today, Greenwald notes that Americans in general are much more likely to support the killing of civilians for political purposes (51%) than U.S. Muslims (13%) and even Iranians (16%).
Do I think that all American Christians are sadistic terrorists? Of course not. That would be a simplistic generalization based on a few isolated events. In other words, the same type of generalization that has created the idea of a worldwide "culture war" pitting "Islamicists" against "civilized nations."
Yes, the most repressive regimes on the planet are Islamist and Islamist terrorist groups are by far the largest that are bent on attacking us. Just a few isolated incidents, ya see. No cause for alarm.
You can make the case that terrorism in general is over-hyped. It is, to some degree. But to inflate right-wing terrorism in the U.S. to anything approaching radical Islam is completely asinine. To say that Islamist thought is not in conflict with the values of civilized (I don't like using that word here, but it works) nations (you know, human rights, liberty, democracy…) is extremely myopic.
Jay ends with some happy and useless platitudes about the fight against terrorism:
So let's fight terrorism realistically. Through policing, not culture wars. Through prevention, not eradication. And, above all, let's remember that the best path to fighting terror lies not through anger and authoritarianism, but with civility, diversity, and democracy.
Nonsense. Civility, diversity, and democracy have never stopped suicide terrorism. It's been stopped by ending the conflicts at the root of it. Policing is nice, but it's simply treading water. At least he gets points for being against authoritarianism. Curbing Islamism will take cultural reform in the Muslim world.
Now, Craig's response. He rightly attacks the characterization of the Idaho incident. Actually, it's a generally correct post. Except for one thing:
Now, apply Occam's Razor to the situation. He was a violent guy with a history of domestic violence and animal cruelty. He killed his wife, and people who were associated with her. It just so happened that she worked at the courthouse. I'd put odds that if she worked at Pizza Hut, that's where he would have gone instead of the courthouse.
But, that explanation does not fit with the left's narrative, namely that right-wing extremists are a far worse danger than Islamists.
Where did that come from? Jay's post? Nope. Hey, it was pulled out of thin air! It's a fuckin' miracle!
Another thing to note, acting like a violent asshole generally and making a violent political statement are not mutually exclusive courses of action. This could be an act of terrorism. Or it might not be. Who knows? I'll just say that I doubt it. It is possible, however.
Let's put it this way: yes, there are right-wing terrorists in this country. No, they shouldn't be ignored. Yes, Islamists are a bigger threat. No, right-wing terrorism is not an equivalent danger to Islamism.
Was that so hard?
This is one of the most stunning things I've read in quite a while. I've been meaning to post about the recent PEW poll, but I wasn't aware of those particular statistics.
If only we'd killed more children
So a new NIE says Iraq is inflaming terrorism. Seems pretty obvious to those who have been saying so for the past couple years.
Sadly, it doesn't tell us what to do in Iraq. Keep fueling the fire or leave a safe haven? I still don't know.
Apparently though, all we need to do is care a little bit less about collateral damage and have a bit more political will. How exactly does that work? We're fighting a relatively small number people who hide among supporters throughout a very large geographical area. Some of them hide among us. Scorched earth tactics aren't particulary useful. Take out a couple of mosques terrorists may have hidden in and we might kill a few more of them, but we kill plenty of innocent people and piss off a lot more. There really are diminishing returns here. Pretty soon, we're killing more people than the terrorists have (oops, already there). Sure, we have better motives, but it still should cause a bit of reflection. That's reflection, not "we will win through our steely resolve and our ability to destroying buildings with the flick of a wrist!"

A city councilwoman broke city ordinance as organizers passed out dozens of warm meals to the homeless in Downtown Houston.
Volunteers set up camp on public property across the street from the city's library.
The problem? They didn't give the council notice nor did they receive written permission to serve food.
"We do not need permission to feed and share with our fellow people," said Nick Cooper with Food Not Bombs, the group behind Wednesday night's event.
Cooper was fully aware he could face a citation, but he said his organization feeds four days out of the week and will continue to do so, despite the revised city ordinance that went into effect July 1.
Houston City Council voted to require all organizations get written consent from the city before camping out and feeding the homeless.
Councilwoman Helena Brown was out-voted. She called the city law wrong and unconstitutional.
"For some of us to share food, this is part of our religion," Brown said.
Others, like downtown resident Hershel Donny, agree with the ordinance.
"There have to be regulations," Donny said. "Bad things happen to good people, but they have to follow the rules of the community in order to keep the community nice."
Thousands want the same thing while still feeding the homeless.
At Tuesday's city council meeting, protestors collected over 30,000 signatures from those wanting the council to place the issue on the November ballot.
Houston Mayor Annise Parker said the city secretary would have to verify all names. Given the time constraints, the issue will not make the ballot.
Since then, a number of advocates and attorneys have threatened to file suit.
Cooper said he'll continue to set up on public property and feed the homeless.

Beat the heat at the Reds vs. Cubs game Wednesday
CINCINNATI -- Are you planning on roughing out the heat at the Reds game today? Remember how to stay cool at Great American Ball Park.
Wednesday will be hot and humid, with temperatures in the low-90s and a heat index in the high 90s.
The Reds vs. Cubs game starts at 12:35 p.m. and they recommend helpful tips for fans on how to stay cool and safe at GABP:
• Fans will be permitted to bring opened bottles of water into the ballpark. (Unopened bottles of water and soft-sided coolers smaller than 16x16x8 are always permitted.)
• "Cool rooms" will be in operation with TVs so fans can watch the game. Please see a Reds staff member for an escort to a cool room.
• Cool water vapor misting stations are setup near sections 106, 130, 517 and under the PNC Power Stacks in center field.
• Sun screen lotion will be available free at TriHealth first aid stations.
• Fans should keep hydrated and drink plenty of fluids (preferably water) before and during the game.
• Extra care should be taken when exposing infants and elderly fans to these conditions as they are much more susceptible to heat-related illnesses.
• Any fans feeling weak or sick should let a Reds staff member know and medical aid will be summoned.
• Wheelchair assistance is always available. Please see a Reds staff member.
Paramedics and ambulance crews are on site at every game.
Also remember: the Reds Hall of Fame & Museum and Reds Tem Shops are all air conditioned. Stop into one of them to escape the heat.
Will you be going to the game tonight? How will you beat the heat?

Google Reader is being shut down, are sites like The Verge at fault?
I am a longtime Google Reader user. Its trends page says I have read 291,562 items since October 11, 2005. Thats just four days after its launch. I have 'n', 's', 'm' through the last decade of tech history.
That started to change as I added The Verge to my computer-news folder. I started following many of the editors to keep track of the site during the brief This Is My Next period. Like many, I wanted to keep track of these guys, seing what they were up to and keeping track of what they were they were off to next. Once the Verge was launched I followed some additional editors.
My news workflow slowly shifted from Reader to Twitter. I had always attributed this twitters popularity, but I am starting to think the slimmed down RSS feeds from sites such as The Verge are also to blame.
After hearing the bad news tonight tonight, I logged into reader and instantly felt back at home. I flipped through some articles using the same keybindings i've used since 2005. Its a fast and fluid way to suck up content in bulk.
The content has to be there though. I remember rich RSS feeds full of full text articles, embedded photos, video, metadata, and even a couple of adsense banners. Today, The Verge RSS feed shows a header image and the first 3 sentences of a 5 sentence paragraph. The text, tags, video, photos, and ads are missing. Short video segments like 90 Seconds On The Verge require users to leave reader to visit the site. I used to get content via RSS, now I only get links.
Make Google Reader & RSS Great Again
The better an RSS feed is, the more time spent in reader. The more time spent in reader, the less time spent on the verge. Less time spent on The Verge, less money for Nilay's wristband fund. I understand The Verge is an ad driven business that relies on visits to the site to fund its growing staff, however, there has got to be some middleground where The Verge can make its RSS feeds useable again. Please take the time to evaluate embedding The Verge videos, tags, ads, and other content. I am not expecting to read the full longform article with your great layouts on reader or the rich review of the HTC One with videos, photos, charts, and graphs in an RSS feed. I think RSS and reader makes digging through the hundreds of short stories (Like this one) with the occasional youtube embed delightful. The Verge video team produces great content. I love watching the video reviews, Vergecast, and 90 Seconds On The Verge. While on the site, a preroll plays before the video. I can text and watch video at the same time. Can't the great Verge videos be embedded in the RSS feed with the preroll?
Google Reader is the best, but its useless without content.

A set of bronze statues at the entrance honors the men who belonged to the naval air force.
The museum is huge and I strongly recommend taking a tour of the planes with a guide. The tour guides are former navy pilots; and if my tour guide, Jim, was representative, they are incredibly informative and their first-hand experiences are engrossing to listen to. My guide, Jim, had flown several of these planes in WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam. He had just retired from being an advisor at the Pentagon.
This seaplane hangs in the entrance to the museum directly above the bronze statues.
I did not purchase a catalog for identifying these planes so if anyone can fill me in, please e-mail me your information, and I will add your information to this web page. Thanks.
The museum even has a Japanese Zero on display. Our guide told the folllowing story. Initially, the Zero could not be out-flown, it was too fast and manouverable. However, one Zero flying on a mission to Alaska was damaged by American gunfire. The Japanese pilot, seeing what he thought was a grassy field on a small, abandoned island, landed in what turned out to be a marsh. The zero landed splat and moved no further. Days later, an American pilot spotted the Zero. We retrieved the largely intact Zero and went over it with a fine tooth comb. We learned that its carburetor float, in a steep dive, would move to a position that choked off the flow of gas to the engine. We also learned that the Zero could not make a sharp right turn. This knowledge provided American fliers with the strategy needed to knock out Zeros in a dog fight. The American pilot would dive sharply down, bank right, turn and come up firing behind the doomed Zero.
The cost of maintaining and expanding this museum is met through private donations. Taxpayer dollars are not used.
The next seven photos illustrate the variety of planes and 'copters to be seen. They are followed by photos of the Blue Angel's planes.
When you get tired of walking among the planes, the museum has an IMax theater,showing every other hour, an IMax documentary on the Blue Angels. The hour long documentary puts you in the pilot's seat for a thrilling ride that's a memorable experience.
A Flying Tiger!
Plus a 'copter straight out of Mash**
Finally, in their exclusive display area, the planes of the Blue Angels are suspended above an atrium whose floor can accommodate over 1,000 persons for meetings or banquets.
|Note: All photographs were shot with an
Olympus Camedia E10 digital camera and made web-ready using Adobe
Photoshop 6.1 and Adobe ImageReady 3.0.

Check out the stats. Men have health issues. Big time. And we aren't always the best at taking care of ourselves or working at preventing these issues. It's important for men to know the health issues they face, and it's important to know they have a mo bro just around the corner to get them through their hard time, be it diabetes, prostate cancer, or an unruly mo.
It's almost that time again.This will be my third year participating in Movember. I've hit my goal of $1,000 for the last 2 years, but I think this year will be a challenge.
Who dares to be the first to donate?

First let me assure you all that this will be my only self-whoring post ever.
I am sad to say that I will no longer be posting my "On Paper" previews here at Pride of Detroit. I will continue to be a contributing member here, but you won't see many (if any) fanposts from me anymore. I've decided to take my "talents"to a website of my own creation: http://detroitonlion.blogspot.com Read it, if you want. I've got a take on eliminating kickoffs today, but most of my material will be less controversial and more Lions-oriented. Hope you enjoy it, and sorry for the self-advertising.

A River of Waste: The Hazardous Truth about Factory Farms (2007)
There is a huge health and environmental scandal hiding in our industrial system of meat and poultry production. Dangerous uses of arsenic, antibiotics, growth hormones dominate the meat and poultry industry in the U.S and elsewhere. Only the European Union stands alone in establishing strong health and environmental standards for the industry.
A River of Waste exposes these toxic dangers that many Americans face. Some scientists have gone so far as to call the condemned current factory farm practices as "mini Chernobyls." In 1906, public outrage at the scandal led to major reforms that cleaned up a corrupt and dangerous system. It is the hope of the filmmakers to mobilize a similar public outcry for reform.

The Great Sacrifice
To the galling weight of these tribulations was now added the bitter grief of a sudden tragedy ― the premature loss of the noble, the pious Mirza Mihdi, the Purest Branch, 'Abdu'l-Bahá's twenty-two year old brother, an amanuensis of Bahá'u'lláh and a companion of His exile from the days when, as a child, he was brought from Tihran to Baghdad to join his Father after His return from Sulaymaniyyih. He was pacing the roof of the barracks in the twilight, one evening, wrapped in his customary devotions, when he fell through the unguarded skylight onto a wooden crate, standing on the floor beneath, which pierced his ribs, and caused, twenty-two hours later, his death, on the 23rd of Rabi'u'l-Avval 1287 A.H. (June 23, 1870). His dying supplication to a grieving Father was that his life might be accepted as a ransom for those who were prevented from attaining the presence of their Beloved.
After he had been washed in the presence of Bahá'u'lláh, he "that was created of the light of Baha," to whose "meekness" the Supreme Pen had testified, and of the "mysteries" of whose ascension that same Pen had made mention, was borne forth, escorted by the fortress guards, and laid to rest, beyond the city walls, in a spot adjacent to the shrine of Nabi Salih, from whence, seventy years later, his remains, simultaneously with those of his illustrious mother, were to be translated to the slopes of Mt. Carmel, in the precincts of the grave of his sister, and under the shadow of the Báb's holy sepulcher.
(Shoghi Effendi, God Passes By, p. 188)
Now occurred a tragedy which brought grief to the heart of Bahá'u'lláh and to His companions. Mírzá Mihdí, Abdu'l-Bahá's younger brother, a youth of twenty-two, while pacing the roof of the barracks during his evening devotions, fell through a skylight onto a wooden crate which pierced his ribs. Twenty-two hours later he died, supplicating his beloved Father to accept his life as a ransom for all those believers who were prevented from attaining His presence. He was an example of nobility and piety and meekness, and is known as the Purest Branch. Bahá'u'lláh revealed a prayer in his memory in which he wrote:
I have, O my Lord, offered up that which Thou hast given Me, that Thy servants may be quickened and all that dwell on earth be united.
And He addressed His son:
Thou art the trust of God and His treasure in this land. Erelong will God reveal through thee that which He hath desired.
The death of the Purest Branch occurred on June 23rd, 1870, one year and ten months after the exiles entered the prison. The change in circumstances of the prisoners during this time was evident from the manner of his funeral. A tent was pitched in the middle of the barracks and on a table within it the body was washed and shrouded and placed in a new casket by members of the community, while Abdu'l-Bahá, in deep sorrow, paced outside the tent. The coffin was borne outside the city walls, escorted by fourteen guards and laid to rest next to the Shrine of Sálih, a Prophet mentioned in the Genesis and the Qur'án. Seventy years later, the Guardian of the Faith would reinter the remains of the Purest Branch and his Saintly mother Navváb in the Monument Gardens on Mount Carmel, within the Shadow of the Shrine of the Báb.
(David Hofman, Bahá'u'lláh The Prince of Peace, A Portrait, p. 156)
Sorrows abounded. But the most poignant was the death of 'Abdu'l-Bahá's brother, Mírzá Mihdí, entitled Ghusn-i-Athar ― the Purest Branch. He was no more than twenty-two years of age, and served as an amanuensis to his Father. One evening in the gathering dusk, as he paced the roof, occupied with his devotions, he fell through a gap to the level below. The fall, although causing severe internal injuries, did not kill him outright. He begged his Father to accept his life as a ransom for the Bahá'ís who were not allowed to come into the Most Great Prison to meet their Lord. His wish was granted by a Father heavily weighed down by the sorrows of this world. The Purest Branch died on June 23rd 1870, twenty-two hours after receiving his fatal injuries. Within four months, incarceration in the citadel came to an end.
(H.M. Balyuzi, Abdu'l-Baha – The Centre of the Covenant, p. 27)
When He sat by the death bed of the Purest Branch, that saintly youth was beatified and exalted beyond any condition which an earthly father could induce. Navváb was so overwhelmed with grief at the loss of her second son amidst such tragic circumstances that she wept unconditionally and could not be consoled. Bahá'u'lláh assured her that God had accepted the sacrifice of her son as a ransom for the opening of the doors of pilgrimage and the quickening of all mankind. Navváb's grief was assuaged and she became content with the will of God.

Bombing Likely to Delay Immigration Bill
Bipartisan immigration overhaul legislation may not be released until at least Wednesday out of respect for the tragic events that took place during the Boston Marathon on Monday.
"We may delay it until Wednesday because of this Boston tragedy," said Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. McCain is one of eight senators in the bipartisan group working to draft the bill, which they had hoped to unveil Tuesday.
Sen. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., who is also a member of the group, echoed McCain, noting that the delay in the bill's unveiling was in deference to the victims of Monday's bombing.
Their comments came after McCain, Flake and Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., briefed Republican senators on the bill Monday night. Senate Democratic members of the group are expected to brief their colleagues Wednesday.
The GOP response was "generally favorable," said McCain, who noted that many of his colleagues said they wanted to see the bill before making any decisions. "That's understandable," he said.
Flake agreed that the conversation inside the GOP meeting was positive and left him hopeful about the bill's prospects.
"It was a good discussion," he said. The senators' reaction was "positive," he added. "I'm more optimistic by the day."
Sen. Charles E. Grassley, R-Iowa, was more circumspect about the bill's chances.
"They have worked real hard to satisfy a lot of people, but until you read the bill you really don't know," he said.

Several people made a 911 call about 9:20 p.m. Friday to report a burning vehicle in the east commuter lot on campus in the 3600 block of Voigt Drive, said San Diego police Lt. Kevin Rooney.
Firefighters put out the fire and after examining the interior of the vehicle, found the body of the woman inside, Rooney said.
Anyone with any information about the dead woman or the burning vehicle was asked to call the SDPD's homicide unit at (619) 531-2293.

IWSG: Writing While Depressed
This post is for the Insecure Writer's Support Group blog hop.
Recently my therapist told me I'm depressed. Don't know why he thinks THAT--- maybe it's that during that session I was talking about death all the time? But anyway, I've come to agree with him on the depression thing and so lately I've been coping with Writing While Depressed.
Now, my writing life is pretty messed up already--- first, because of my Asperger Syndrome, and second because of my ongoing struggles with writer's block. In observing myself and my writing process, I think clinical depression adds something to the mix.
In non-depressed times, when starting a writing project, I usually have a few really good, upbeat days when I very much believe in my project and don't have any particular doubts about it. When Writing While Depressed, I have ideas for writing projects that I believe are objectively as good as any others I've had, yet on the very day the ideas occur to me I begin to have 'this idea is dreck' self-talk flitting around my head.
I try to tell myself that this is just the depression talking. And my depression really has got to stop swearing in Yiddish. So far this has helped me to hold on to the writing project in question in spite of the doubts.
Because this writing project is my first attempt at the mystery genre, I'm following the exercises in Writing Crime and Suspense Fiction by Lesley Grant Adamson in order to get the outlining/plotting done. I think of it kind of like an experienced writer is taking my hand and leading me through the world of building a mystery story.
Instead of working out this preliminary stuff on my computer, I'm using a composition book and writing with my lucky purple-ink gel pens. This seems to be a good way of doing it, except that Ender the kitten keeps jumping in my lap and wanting to sit on the composition book.
I'm also fighting the depression's effects with by starting the writing day with exercise. Due to the current Wind Chill Apocalypse I can't go outside and walk, but I put on loud music and the house and pace briskly for a half-hour.
I'm also thinking of breaking out my Lawrence Block 'Affirmations for Writers' audio and playing it. It's a bit on the New-Agey side but there is nothing that really goes off the deep end in it, and I think it does make me feel more confident about my writing.
In a number of how-to-write books I've read that when suffering writer's block one must always remember that it ends. Which doesn't feel all that true in my case, but this depression-induced supercharged writer's block will certainly end, as the depression will end (and come back--- did I mention I'm depressed?)
One thing that HAS perked me up is that since I'm writing a novel centered around a crime, it gives me a great excuse to wallow in all the true-crime books and television programs I like--- because it's research, you see. True stories of murder have been one of my Special Interests since I was a kid and sneaked a peek into some old books about Leopold and Loeb, and the Boston Strangler. Reviving this Special Interest helps me to have a more positive attitude toward my writing project, as anything strongly connected to a Special Interest is something I can feel positive about.
A final factor in Writing While Depressed is that I am far more conscious of being an isolated writer. In fact, depression makes me a more isolated writer than usual since I'm less likely to seek out some semblance of contact with other writers on Facebook and such. In me depression generates a lot of self-talk about how other people don't care for me and never will, and if people don't like me in person why would I expect them to like my writing? I also tend to isolate myself from God, avoiding prayer and even thinking about prayer, though I have forced myself to watch the daily Mass on EWTN a few times (a great 'pill' for depression).
Well, this has turned into a depressing post, hasn't it? But the upbeat part of it that I cling to is that depression isn't forever, even when it feels that way. Even in the worst part of a depression you can always be surprised by a fleeting moment of optimism or good cheer. Cherish those moments. And know that things will get better.
Unless there's a zombie apocalypse. I hate it when there's a zombie apocalypse.
Are you undergoing any special writing challenges right now? How do you cope? Or not cope?

Sorry you are struggling with depression - it's not fair! I think you are doing many good things in trying to overcome your writer's block - keep up the good work!

I exercise also to get the creative juices flowing. And reading.
As far as working through depression, yeah that is a different kind of animal. Sometimes it helps me to write a paragraph about what a character is feeling at that particular moment. Their POV. I don't know if that will help you get through the depression but give it a try.
Again, I'm glad you are using exercise to get through. Good job!!!

I've suffered from depression and I still do, and when I'm in a bout of depression it is very hard to write. It is hard to even get motivated to write. Oddly enough, when I can get myself to write while depressed, I tend to notice that my writing is better. Isn't that odd?
I hope you can break through this soon! And using exercise to do it is great! :) Exercise really is mood-enhancing, and it can help us to clear our minds too, which is always a good thing. ;)

I'm sorry to hear you're suffering with depression, Nissa. E-mail me anytime if you're looking for someone to talk to about things. We've got a lot in common, I think, though my depression doesn't swear in Yiddish (usually just English with maybe a little French thrown in on occasion). But, broke Catholic writer, language enthusiast and animal person with a particular fondness for the mystery/crime and (paranormal) fantasy genres who is very familiar with mental illness, self-esteem issues and the creepy voice that tries to undermine one's writing. I tend to be an introvert who isn't very comfortable with talking about personal stuff in public though, unless I incorporate it into fiction writing. Anyway, you're not alone and I'd love to talk to you about your new crime mystery endeavor or anything else you'd want to talk about.
You're in my prayers,

Excellent post. I have a very close friend who struggles every day with depression, and I applaud your courage in battling it. I find that writing is very therapeutic, and I always feel better when I jot something down in a journal or diary whenever I'm feeling angry or sad or frustrated. Hoping the creative juices flow for you this year!

- Nissa Annakindt said...
Thanks to all for the kind words and encouragement. It's made me feel very undepressed.
It does seem to help me to blog about my struggles because at least I feel like by sharing I might help someone else who's going through a struggle. Of course some people might think that's being 'whiny' but I feel like it's more about being honest.

I really appreciate your post. When I get down I can't cope at all. I am so glad to see that you are pushing through and making strides towards coming out of it.
When my writing is blocked, I tend to sit down at the computer anyway. I go back over the previous few paragraphs or thought I've had and just start typing. Most the time it doesn't make sense. I know it will be cut out later, but sometimes something special happens. The story unfolds in a way I didn't know it would.
Good luck and keep writing, even if it is only on your blog.

Depression is a horrible thing to deal with, I too succumb to this particular beast from time to time.
Writing through it though is a good way to cope, even if what you write during that time is purely for you and not intended for public consumption. It serves its purpose if it helps get you through to the other side quicker.
I hope you'll be on the up soon, and thanks for stopping by my blog.

Jessica Gomes Versus Aubrey O'Day? No Contest!August 31st, 2009
Here's supermodel Jessica Gomes and Aubrey O'Day (I still have no idea what she does) both looking hot at the Grand Slam Winners Tennis Exhibition Match. I know that there's a ton of you who can't stand Aubrey O'Day, but I dig her and her impressive ability to always be showing off her cleavage. Having said that, there's just no competition when standing next to Jessica Gomes, who is one of the hottest women I've ever seen. Yup, even with Aubrey dropping the cleavage and Jessica dressed as my old aunt Edna. Enjoy the show, and more importantly, the bikini-filled bonus gallery.

Larry the Answer Guy: Rooney Rule promotes minority hiring in the NFL
What is the Rooney Rule? A story in the Jan. 23 paper didn't explain.
The Rooney Rule calls for National Football League teams to interview at least one minority candidate to fill a vacancy for head coach or senior football operations.
The story last week dealt with a suggestion to expand the rule to offensive and defensive coordinator positions, assistant head coaches and club president positions.
The Associated Press reported that the push to expand the rule came after no minorities were hired for eight head coach and seven general manager positions that became vacant after the end of the regular football season. The league's consultant on race and recruitment made the recommendation and a spokesman for the league said it would be considered, several news organizations reported.
The rule, implemented in 2003, was named after Pittsburgh Steelers chairman Dan Rooney, an advocate of the rule, according to the AP.
I thought it was maybe the Mickey Rooney Rule, something the Dallas Cowboys use when hiring coaches.

Warning: Watch out for white-out
Brian Martin, an employee of the Kingston Highway Department, dumps a load of salt and sand into a plow truck Thursday. (JASON SCHREIBER/Union Leader Correspondent)
UnionLeader.com's storm blog► Click here to view UnionLeader.com's storm blog. Check back frequently for updates.
A blizzard warning was posted for coastal Rockingham County beginning at 2 p.m. Friday and lasting until 4 p.m. Saturday. Heavy snow and winds gusting 45 mph or higher could create white-out conditions.
Winter storm warnings were issued for inland areas.
The storm, expected to move in this morning, could drop anywhere from 12 to 24 inches of snow across the state, with the highest amounts in southeastern areas and lesser amounts to the north and west, said Tom Hawley, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Gray, Maine.
The storm threat forced some schools to close, wreaked havoc for air travelers and prompted some towns to postpone their annual deliberative sessions.
Coastal flood watches were also issued.
"We'll be mindful of that and try to spread the word to folks in low-lying areas," said Hampton Police Chief Jamie Sullivan, also the town's emergency management director.
With astronomical high tides, a 2.5-foot storm surge and wind-whipped seas building to 15 to 30 feet, Hawley warned coastal residents to take precautions.
"I think there could be some serious concerns on the coast. They should have a plan in place on how to deal with that," he said.
The places most vulnerable to flooding are the main beach area along Ocean Boulevard and back streets along Ashworth Avenue, Sullivan said. Splash-over and debris in the road could also create problems, he said.
"The folks down at the beach are well aware of what the flooding does to those particular areas," Sullivan said.
Downhill fast
Light snow is expected to start early this morning and pick up in intensity through the afternoon, Hawley said.
"By late afternoon, between 4 and 6 p.m., things will go downhill pretty fast. My advice is to stay home and watch it," Hawley said.
If 20 inches falls in Concord, Hawley said this storm would deliver the fifth-highest total on record.
Concord's biggest snowfall on record was 27.5 inches in the Blizzard of 1888. That storm is followed by 22.5 inches in a December 2003 storm and 22.2 inches in the Halloween nor'easter of 2011.
"This could certainly end up being a Top 10 for Concord and certainly southeast New Hampshire," Hawley said.
Meanwhile, utility companies warned customers to prepare for possible power outages from the wind and snow damaging trees and power lines, although forecasters said the snow would be light and should just blow off.
Public Service of New Hampshire said it planned to open its emergency operations center today, while also adding more line crews in the Seacoast and southeastern areas. Hampton-based Unitil and other power companies took similar steps.
$75,000 an hour
While the storm could make some roads impassable, state and local highway officials said they'll have extra crews on hand.
When a storm hits all of New Hampshire, the state Department of Transportation puts more than 700 plow trucks on the roads to maintain the 4,600 miles of state highways, DOT spokesman Bill Boynton said.
Snow removal on state highways for a typical eight-hour storm with two salt applications costs approximately $600,000, or about $75,000 an hour, Boynton said. The cost includes all state equipment, hired equipment, labor, fuel, salt and sand.
Local road crews spent Thursday attaching their plows and loading their trucks with sand and salt.
Kingston Road Agent Rich St. Hilaire lined up two extra trucks and put others on standby to help the dozen he normally has on the roads during a storm.
"We can handle an inch or two an hour, but three or four inches an hour is difficult," he said.
St. Hilaire urged motorists to get off the roads by 7 p.m. Friday and asked that those snowblowing and plowing their driveways not leave the snow in the roads.

Talk of training camp battles is starting to heat up and the Jake Locker vs. Matt Hasselbeck debate is being talked about around the NFL. Jake Locker, the eighth overall pick in the 2011 draft, didn't start any games last year, but impressed us all when Matt Hasselbeck struggled due to injury. Concerns about Locker's inaccuracy were proven to be true, but the spark Jake Locker gave the Titans offense was incredible and he needs to be named the starting quarterback.
I always hear the Brett Favre/Aaron Rodgers situation as an argument for why Hasselback to start. People argue that Aaron Rodgers had concerns about his mechanics and Brett Favre mentored Rodgers to get better. My response to that is Matt Hasselbeck is nowhere near the same level as Brett Favre, so saying to look at the Aaron Rodgers situation is pointless. The Green Bay Packers were Super Bowl contenders with Brett Favre which is why Favre was still starting at that time. The Packers were waiting to start Aaron Rodgers until the Packers were no longer Super Bowl contenders. Yes, the Packers did help Rodgers clean up mechanics while he was on the bench, but who's to say the Titans can't do that while Locker's starting?
Another argument I hear is we need to make sure Locker doesn't fall on his face like Blaine Gabbert. People don't take into account that Gabbert didn't succeed because of a lack of a receiving corps around him. It's not that he wasn't ready for the job. If a quarterback cannot win games in this league, nothing is going to change that. Andy Dalton was originally going to sit behind Carson Palmer until Palmer retired. After Palmer didn't want to play, Dalton took over and did a pretty good job in his rookie season and let's not forget Dalton was a second round pick.
My gut feeling is that the Titans will start Hasselbeck and Locker will take over after an ugly start.. They won't want to take a risk on a young Locker that showed great promise in 2012. But maybe they'll take a chance on Jake Locker.
What do you guys think? Leave me some interesting comments and convince me why I'm right or wrong.

State education officials are stressing that a statewide evaluation system for teachers and principals is still years away.
Roughly 400 educators filled a Columbia middle school Monday for the last in a series of public meetings on Superintendent Mick Zais' proposal. Plans are being preliminarily tested in 22 schools this year for data collection.
Evaluating educators based on performance is a required part of the state's exemption from the all-or-nothing provisions of the federal No Child Left Behind law. The U.S. Education Department approved South Carolina's application in July.
But educators worry how they'll be judged.
Teachers also don't like the idea of getting letter grades. State Board of Education leaders say they have no intention of approving letter grades for the evaluation system set to start statewide in 2014.

Need Help from any of your shows.
I am a deaf disabled man, I have a cochlear implant in left ear, hearing aid in right ear, on June 27th at main pres. Hospital I just had major surgery on my neck to repair fractured disc in which they are doing bone graft and screws in. I am on very limited income and can not afford to spend a lot for what I need help with here, I am asking for any of the shows to help me with my home.I bought this home in February and before I got here, someone stole all copper from house and vandalized it. I used all my money to get water lines and electric lines back in, fixed most of all the damage to house, replaced all the appliances. Belen Police department has report on the copper theft, so hopefully with your help,

Sorry for all the rough times cowboy but it doesn't work like that. First off, this forum is only lightly monitored by DIY, nobody here can direct a show to you. Second, while I know that you have a compelling need, TV shows are a business and the TV business is very finicky - unless they are directly looking for your type of story with someone of your demographic makeup it's just not going to happen. Finally, geographic location is all important in choosing which shows to do, many parts of the country will never see a TV show there.
Thousands of people apply for these shows for each one that happens. The best thing you could do is to search around for any local organizations who do low cost remodeling for those in need.

Lobbying Creates Moral Hazards for Banks
Wednesday, March 03, 2010 at 10:19 am
Since George W. Bush took office, commercial banks have more than doubled their annual federal lobbying budgets, to great effect. In addition to securing a nearly industry-wide bailout in the wake of a financial crisis spurred by their own risky investments, banking lobbyists notched many successes in scaling back the consumer protection agency. From Reuters:
The lobbyists have successfully scaled back various iterations of the plan. One would make the regulator part of the Treasury Department, and force it to consult with existing watchdogs before imposing restrictions. Republican alternatives are even weaker, alternately housing a consumer unit either in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp or the Federal Reserve. Expect a diluted compromise between diluted compromises — just as seems the case for the "Volcker Rule" to limit proprietary trading by banks.
But perhaps the most dangerous effect all this lobbying has had is on banks' own behavior.
From the beginning, economists warned about the potential for a bank bailout to create moral hazard. Moral hazard is a market failure in which companies, like banks, take bigger risks than they would with their own money because they know they have a backup plan — like a government bailout. For decades, the same voices had warned that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, though technically private enterprises, carried a moral hazard because their management and their investors expected that the government would bail them out if their risks turned out poorly and, in fact, when their risky investments tanked, the government did exactly that instead of allowing them to fail.
Neil Barofsky, the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program — the banking bailout — has said for months that the bailout has inculcated the same moral hazard in regular banks that government involvement in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac did for them. In his most recent report, he identified the moral hazard as one of the largest costs of the TARP program, and one against which the government needed to better guard.
To the extent that institutions were previously incentivized to take reckless risks through a "heads, I win; tails, the Government will bail me out" mentality, the market is more convinced than ever that the Government will step in as necessary to save systemically significant institutions. This perception was reinforced when TARP was extended until October 3, 2010, thus permitting Treasury to maintain a war chest of potential rescue funding at the same time that banks that have shown questionable ability to return to profitability (and in some cases are posting multi-billion-dollar losses) are exiting TARP programs.
Barofsky refers to the fact that many companies exited the TARP program by the end of 2009 in order to avoid caps on executive compensation, and yet some banks continue to operate at a loss — the very thing their participation in TARP was intended to avoid. Since the banks that exited the TARP program have another 20 months to fail and re-enter the program, they can engage in overly risky behavior knowing that they continue to have a government safety net.
Pethokoukis notes that a recent IMF report shows that lobbying also produces behavior in line with banks operating under a moral hazard.
The International Monetary Fund recently found that banks that invested more to influence policy over the past decade were more likely to take more securitization risks, have larger loan defaults and sharper stock falls during key points of the crisis.
In other words, banks that spent millions of dollars to change policies, reduce or eliminate regulation and lobby for bailouts engaged in riskier behaviors — including many of those behaviors that led to the financial crisis — than those banks that didn't feel they needed to invest in changing the structure of the market in which they operated. Spending money on lobbyists to change the rules of the game, so to speak, seemingly leads companies to behave as though they can mitigate or eliminate market risks by convincing government officials to change the regulatory environment or simply front the cash to avoid failure. Thus, lobbying and bailouts become a constant cycle of moral hazard, reinforcing perceptions in the market that a bank's risk isn't really of failure or financial loss, but of having to spend more money to lobby the government to fix things.
Last year, commercial banks alone spent $50 million lobbying Congress, not to mention the money they donated, through PACs and individual donations, to candidates. Some of the money they spent lobbying to change the rules and eliminate regulation came straight from taxpayers' pockets in the form of TARP funds. So Americans' hard-earned money didn't just go to pay executives multi-million salaries; it also went to lobby the government to maintain conditions that will allow the banks to reap huge profits and take great risks, and then rely on the government to bail them out if they fail again.

There are some banks who depend on the Government to clean up the mess. They should keep in mind that these new rules and regulations won't last forever.

Bayside wakes up to pedal power
The Sydney Morning Herald: Bayside wakes up to pedal power
February 11, 2010
IT HAS been a long time coming, but at last we are seeing some evidence of Melbourne seeking to be the bicycle-friendly city it should be. City roads have been the site of a running conflict between cyclists and motorists who must share an ever more congested space. Naturally, cyclists come off worst: half-a-dozen cyclists end up in hospital every day and an average of nine are killed and almost 500 seriously injured each year. Now three councils are involved in creating a weekend clearway along bayside Beach Road, the city's most popular, and thus contentious, recreational cycling route.
