The International Cotton Exposition of 1881 was one of three expositions in Atlanta designed to attract business and venture capitol to Atlanta. The other two expositions were in 1887 and 1895. Buildings were erected for the 1881 exposition along what is now Ashby Street in West Atlanta. In 1882, these structures were converted into a textile mill, and became the Exposition Cotton Mills, which stood until 1971.

Best paths come from bumps in the road

That's how I met you! It will always be my favorite store. Even if there are 3 closer to me! I'm sad I won't bump into you anymore at the store, but totally get it! We'll have to figure out how to bump into each other...ReplyDelete
What a great story, Amy, and you told it so well. We never know what life has in store for us, do we! Your quilt is beautiful (as always)!ReplyDelete
You just never know, do you? We just all have to be open to taking the next step.ReplyDelete
I loved this post! Thank you for that little peek in your life ;o)ReplyDelete
I love this story! My testimony of prayer is continually strengthened because of little answers like this that make a huge difference in the end. I've had plenty and look forward to lots more!ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your story with us, Amy. I think it's a good one :) The quilt is really pretty!ReplyDelete
What a great outlook. Thank you for telling and sharing...Am. Quilt. I would love to work there! but alas I live in Idaho. I've loved that store every time I've been in there. And, yes, I was planning to look for you the next time I go in...:)Best Adventures ahead.ReplyDelete
What a fantastic story! I am sure working there also developed your growing talent as a quilter too, so many blessings right? Thanks for sharing, it is the small things like that, that make up a big picture in life. Your quilt is super cute too :)ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing this post...those bumps in the road often do turn out to be the most tender mercies!ReplyDelete
Thanks for the story, Amy! I'm glad you could have the outlet of working in a quilt store for those years. And the reminder that God really does care about the little things.ReplyDelete
I love how God's timing is perfect - you just 'happened' to be there at the right time to hear that phone conversation!ReplyDelete
Lovely post Amy. So pleased you were able to find something to help you through your bumps and what a bonus that it was something that you love! All the very best for you new adventures.ReplyDelete
This is a great story about how God really does take notice and care about every detail of our lives. AQ seems like it certainly was a blessing to you at the right time and I'm sure they feel that way about you too. Best wishes for a continued bright future.ReplyDelete
I love your post...so very similar to my quilting life. I too work in a quilt shop, and I too began my time there when the children were small. They are grown, I am a Grandma now ( a huge joyous part of my life) and I just got home from teaching my quilting class. I teach three times weekly.ReplyDelete
I know God will continue to direct your path. Continue to have faith in HIS plan. In fact in my class tonight they were all teasing about what heaven would be like. They said they wanted it to be like a HUGE quilt shop and that I would be the teacher there. I can only smile at the blessing quilting has been in my life. XXX
- Vienna GrannyNovember 8, 2011 at 10:52 PM
You are so honest in your blogs... I love them. Put Him first and He will direct your path. The quilt is beautiful! I just ordered the pattern for your Lattice Quilt and fabric to make it for my granddaughter who is getting married soon but now I want to make this one as well! I just have to order the kit!ReplyDelete
Love this blog post. What a wonderful reminder that He is in charge of our lives including the bumps in the road. btw - really pretty quilt : )ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, Amy!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing Amy, I have to admit I am a bit teary eyed. It's amazing the ways that Heavenly Father is there for each of us :)ReplyDelete
Amy what a great story. It must be hard to leave but as you say things move on.ReplyDelete
Great story and i'm glad that you shared it with all of us. One never knows what life will bring to us and sometimes those things are great ones. Our own bump in the road, the one to adopt our daughter, led us to adopting our son.ReplyDelete
Loved your story and your quilt!! Thanks for sharing! :)ReplyDelete
That you for sharing your inspirational story and sharing your quilting life with the world! I so enjoy reading your blog and LOVE your quilts!!ReplyDelete
Hola,que wuiult mas bonito,el acolchado es precioso,yo estoy pendiente de tener una maquina para acolchar.me gustan tus trabajos.besos yolandaReplyDelete
This was a wonderfully heartfelt. Thank you for sharing this with us. It is amazing how much a little Saturday job can change someones life.ReplyDelete
Life is never changing. The blessings happen when we stay open to the possibilities of those changes. Thanks for sharing your story.ReplyDelete
Aww, what a great story, it was obviously meant to be! I have to admit, I probably would also have been right in there saying 'So do you want anyone to work Saturday?' full time job and all lolReplyDelete
What a wonderful story Amy. I am so glad you shared it. :o) I am watching ever so closely for where to take my next step. :o) And I am praying about what I should be looking for. I hope it has something to do with quilting. :o)ReplyDelete
What a wonderful post, Amy! I too am constantly amazed that God cares about the little things in our lives- but He reveals that every day to me! Thanks for a big (teary) smile this morning as I read your post....ReplyDelete
Where would we be if it weren't for the "bumps"? Best wishes for continued growth and happiness, minus the e-coli and other health issues. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks...you brought back a sweet memory for me today...last May I traveled 1500 miles to help my daughter move from SLC to Oregon. We had such a nice time together and the last day we were there she asked if there was anywhere I'd like to go. So of course I asked if it was very far to a town called Orem :) and I got to see that sweet quilt store!! Wish we could have run into you but we loved the store and bought some lovely fabric!ReplyDelete
Great story. I've always said.. the situation is what it is.. you have to look for the positive in any situation, and move on from there.ReplyDelete
Thank you for sharing your wonderful journey. You are truly an inspiration.ReplyDelete
You are an inspiration! You give me hope! Thank you for your blog and your beautiful creations.... both in fabric and the words you write!
I wish you and your family much happiness and continued success!
i can't even begin to explain how much i miss american quilting. that was the shop where i took my first quilting class (amy's beginning piecing class), made my first saturday sampler with lots of guidance and help from the random ladies who've been quilting for a lot longer than me, and where i first learned to love the feel of quality fabric. i spent hours browsing that store, even when i had no money because we were poor graduate students with two kids. it was the place i always for gift certificates to (yes, i will spend other people's money on my fabric addiction!). and i miss knowing that someone at AQ will have answers to my quilting conundrums. There are no LQS remotely close to AQ out here in arkansas and i feel the pain. i'm so jealous that you got to work there. someday i will work in a shop like AQ.ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the post! My husband and I were just talking about some big decisions last night. We are encountering our own bump in the road and desperately hanging on to the faith that God will show the way to smooth sailing. Thank God for answered prayers! How good He is to us!ReplyDelete
What a precious post. I'm so glad you shared it. Blessings as you transition on...ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your bumps with us. Hope you have a lovely day. Smiles~BethReplyDelete
- Trisha from NJNovember 9, 2011 at 7:16 AM
Amy, thanks for sharing the store. I love the way you described how hard things can seem and the power of prayer. I am glad you were open to this wonderful possibility and that you share your talents with us.ReplyDelete
- Trisha againNovember 9, 2011 at 7:17 AM
Oops, I meant story, sorry!!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing that story Amy! i'm sure you have learned volumes from working there and life will take you in a wonderful new direction. Best!ReplyDelete
As my big sister, I've always appreciated your advice and example. This, again, gives me great perspective and hope that admist our current trials, great blessings can come if we are open to it. You mentioned that God is involved in the details of our lives, which of course reminded me of that Neal A. Maxwell quote that ends, " to the degree that we allow him to be." Thanks for the reminder to always invite God into my life and to look for the silver lining :).ReplyDelete
You're awesome. I love it when we recognize the small, but ever so important details that God looks out for.ReplyDelete
I loved learning this about you and am excited to see what you are up to next!ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for sharing. I know personally reliving these moments can be emotional even though we made it through the storms.ReplyDelete
I think Romans 12:12 best describes your journey. glory be to God and good luck on your next chapter.
sweet story to share with usReplyDelete
that was a great story, thanks for sharing something so personal.ReplyDelete
You are an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your story, and for being such a humble, caring person.ReplyDelete
Such a great, sweet story, and a beautiful quilt! thanks for sharing :-)ReplyDelete
What a sweet encouraging story. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete
Wonderful post!!! Thank you so much for sharing!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing, Amy. It definitely gives me hope that I might find a way of making a hobby I love into a bigger part of my life.ReplyDelete
- Ruth ManoNovember 9, 2011 at 1:58 PM
Thank you for sharing your story and allowing us to take a little peek into your life! I stumbled upon your blog almost 10 months ago when I was recovering from abdominal surgery, your posts brightened my day and gave me the inspiration to start quilting again!ReplyDelete
God is full of surprises, and the case of your finding employment at the quilt store was just another example of life being all about the journey rather than the final destination! I am glad to hear that you and your husband and family are healthy again, that's more important than anything!
Personally, I could never be trusted to work in a quilt store, I would spend more than my paycheck would allow LOL!
I loved reading your story Amy! Seriously bumps in the road suck so bad at the time but they always seem to be for the best don't they! :)ReplyDelete
What a great story. Thank you for sharing!ReplyDelete
You are wonderful! Thanks for sharing your story.ReplyDelete
What a great story! *smile*ReplyDelete
More proof that He knows each and every one of us :)ReplyDelete
Now, if you decide you have time to teach a class or 2..... :)
That is a good story. I am right at the begining on my own road but it is nice to hear other people's roads :) I will be excited to see how my own works out!! Thanks for the inspiration of the quilts that you post. I love peeking in every once in awhile.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing Amy!ReplyDelete
So glad that you were able to get over that bump in the road and found a new way to help your family meet their challenges. I wish you many more bumps in the road that fare as well as the last one. Good luck Amy.ReplyDelete
- Debbie T.November 9, 2011 at 5:47 PM
Thanks so much for sharing your story. I find myself in a similar situation. My hubby is losing his job at the end of the year. But, God is in control, he will provide, and I don't need to worry. Happy Quilting in your new adventures!ReplyDelete
Loved reading your story; and reminded me to hang in there, as hubby and I are going through a journey of our own. He has been out of work for a year now and I cannot work because I have an incurable form of leukemia which results in a weak immune system and fatigue. We are living on little money by I am learning that we have everything we need....what I have had to give up is just "extra stuff". Thank goodness for my stash lol. Am so happy it all worked out for you and do know that God sets us on different paths for a reason. Thus, I am waiting to find out what his lesson is in this one.ReplyDelete
The quilt is lovely...I like the fun colors and simplicity of it.
I'm sad that I won't have the chance to see you at the store. Your blog is how I found it in the first place and I've been in every time I visit Utah, but I always love seeing things from your blog in the store!ReplyDelete
Amy, I really look forward to each of your entries, and I love that you shared this with your readers. I find that I am at a crossroads, and am trying to find the right path for me and our family. It's not easy, and it's nice to be reminded that those little bumps are the ones that truly help us find our way. Thanks for that!ReplyDelete
The quilt is wonderful -- such great, lively colors. Love it! :)
What a great story Amy! I'm sorry I never got to see you in action. I'm sure you'll still have friends there -- how fun it will be for you to stop in and visit. Love that cute quilt!ReplyDelete
Found your blog. It is delightful. YOU are delightful!!ReplyDelete
I love this post. It's amazing what 4 hours a month in a place where like minded people are can do for you. I have been at my quilt shop for almost a year and I am amazed at how much has changed in my sewing/quilting/blogging life because of it. And I am so so glad that the very first time I visited AQ happened to be a day you were there.ReplyDelete
My eyes are brimming so it's kinda hard to see the keyboard (so not a touch typist) thank-you for sharing your story I loved every second of it because it is precious to hear about you and how your life is being worked out so carefully..like the quilts we make! Great to hear you are going well and I can understand sadness at leaving something so neat (petting fabric and getting paid for it says it all!! I would love that job too!) as your quilt shop job.. I have been through similar but it is ok cause somehow the bumps do get ironed over so nicely. Yay!!Glory to God!!! This has been a very encouraging time to read your post today, thankyou! I am sure are many more good stories to come too!ReplyDelete
I loved your post Amy! Really touching and had made me think about all the things I'm grateful for and the things that were just meant to happen! Sounds like you had a wonderful time working there and I hope you move on to equally rewarding challenges and experiences :)ReplyDelete
This really touched my heart this morning. I worked at a LQS for two years, right after our first grandchild passed away and it was the most difficult time in our lives. I do medical transcription at home, but I needed to get OUT of the house and the job came at the perfect time in my life. I made good friends, learned lots (nothing like working retail to learn a lot about people!) and spent my time with gorgeous fabric instead of crying at home all the time. Thanks for writing this, Amy.ReplyDelete
Dear Amy: I could only come to the store on Saturdays so I saw you there often and you helped me with so many things. But isn't life wonderful and time gives us so much perspective. You can look back now and see so many blessings from trying to increase your talents and help with your family. We just try to do our best and bumps in the road are God's way of giving us a little different vision of what is really important. Best wishes to you always.ReplyDelete
Janis Smith
I´ve just loved to read it all. I´m so sorry I didn´t get to meet you at the shop. Well, I did now and will be follwing you.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing.
Such a sweet story. I'm glad you had the chance to work at such a lovely sounding place. :) Keep spreading that joy!ReplyDelete
"Something that I worried was a small, selfish thing, turned into a sweet tender mercy and affected my life in great ways."... so often, this is His way... these are the everyday miracles we can so easily miss...ReplyDelete
Beautiful post! And a beautiful quilt too!ReplyDelete
Blessings on you dearie. Look forward to more blog posts.ReplyDelete
Amy....luv you, your honesty & perspective. I can only imagine what a change this will be in your life! I am sure in time you will be writing a post about the doors and opportunity this fork in the road has opened up. Your awesome!ReplyDelete

So, let's take this opportunity to address another misunderstanding about this system as compared to many other RPG systems.
Characters in Song of Ice and Fire are not "brand new," unless they are very young characters. The scout character is not just a middle-aged character that has been fighting most of her adult life, judging by her ratings in Agility, Athletics and Marksmanship, but she is also an intrinsically heroic character, based on the character's access to Qualities, Wounds and Injuries.
Characters in this system do not necessarily take the D&D approach, where you're a potato farmer from Shirehamington who goes into a big scary world and ends up with a backpack bristling with magic items and a laundry list of spells and murder-tricks at his disposal. Not everyone is created equal in Westeros.
Those who are really good at what they do are likely to have been good at it from an early age. Those who aren't great at something rarely get much better. I mean, let's be honest - if this were a "pull yourself up by the bootstraps" sort of setting, Sam Tarly would be the perfect character to suddenly be much cooler. But even after a time in the Night's Watch, he's still pretty much fat, scared Sam.
So, the disparity between the clansmen tertiary characters and the Scout who is a primary character isn't some flaw in the rules. It's sort of the point to them.

- This paper is a reply to the comments made by Carracedo et al. (Quaternary Science Reviews 23, 2045-2049) to the original paper by Zöller, L., Suchodoletz, H.von & N. Küster (2003): Geoarchaeological and chronometrical evidence of early human occupation on Lanzarote (Canary Islands), Quaternary Science Reviews 22, 1299-1307. The reply copes with comments concerning chronometrical dating, the origin of investigated material and geomorphologic and geoarchaeologic problems.
- Dating Saharan dust deposits on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) by luminescence dating techniques and their implication for palaeoclimate reconstruction of NW Africa. (2008)
- Lava flow dammed valleys (Vegas) on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) represent unique sediment traps, filled with autochthonous volcanic material and allochthonous Saharan dust. These sediments and the intercalated palaeosoil sediments document past environmental change of the last glacial-interglacial cycles, both on Lanzarote and in NW Africa. A reliable chronology must be established to use these sediment archives for palaeoclimate reconstructions. Owing to the lack of organic material and the limiting time range of the 14Cdating method, luminescence dating is the most promising method for these sediments. However, the fluvio-eolian character of these sediments is a major problem for luminescence dating, because these sediments are prone to insufficient resetting of the parent luminescence signal (bleaching) prior to sedimentation. To check for the best age estimates, we compare the bleaching behavior of (1) different grain sizes (coarse- versus fine-grain quartz OSL) and (2) different minerals (fine-grain feldspar IRSL versus fine-grain quartz OSL). The results show that owing to its bleaching characteristics, quartz is the preferable mineral for luminescence dating. On the basis of the fine- and coarse-grain quartz OSL age estimates, a chronostratigraphy up to 100 ka could be established. Beyond this age limit for OSL quartz, the chronostratigraphy could be extended up to 180 ka by correlating the vega sediments with dated marine sediment archives.
- Geoarchaeological and chronometrical evidence of early human occupation on Lanzarote (Canary Islands) (2003)
- Two desert loess–paleosol sequences in sediment traps were investigated using (pedo-) stratigraphy, sedimentology, soil mineralogy and IRSL dating. So far we cannot recognise significant IRSL age-underestimates from the polymineral fine-grain fraction of our samples. We establish a first palaeoclimatic sequence spanning the past ca 200 ka which can be compared to data from other Canary Islands and surrounding areas, including terrestrial and deep sea records. More humid phases on Lanzarote are apparently triggered by Milankovich forcing, but the climate remained semi-arid to arid all over the past 200 ka. The onset of human occupation of the island during a slightly moister period is bracketed between 5 and 10 ka, based on the occurrence of archaeosediments containing bones of ovicaprid. This is the first proof of much earlier occupation than witnessed so far from archaeological records. The early subsidiary economy had a strong impact on soil stability and landscape shaping of the island.
- Soil moisture fluctuations recorded in Saharan dust deposits on Lanzarote (CanaryIslands) over the last 180 ka (2010)
- Aeolian sediments trapped in volcanically dammed valleys on Lanzarote, Canary Islands, were investigated in order to reveal environmental changes over the last 180 ka. Clay content and frequency dependent magnetic susceptibility were used as proxies for pedogenesis and palaeo-soil moisture. During the last 180 ka, these proxies showed a general pattern of enhanced soil moisture during glacials and stadials and more arid conditions during interglacials and interstadials. Comparisons of these results with proxies from regional palaeoclimate studies identified a positive correlation with proxies of trade wind strength off northwest Africa and inverse correlations with both sea surface temperatures in the northeast Atlantic and the extent of Mediterranean vegetation. Possible causes for the observed pattern include a glacial enhancement of precipitation from westerly cyclones, a change in relative humidity due to fluctuating air temperatures and an occasional influence of the African summer monsoon. Although it is not yet possible to clearly differentiate among these factors, it is clear that the first two factors must have been primarily dominant. These results represent the first quasi-continuous terrestrial data testifying to environmental changes in the northwest African coastal area for the last 180 ka and complement the abundant data derived from marine cores of the region. High latitude dynamics had a major influence in this area and were intermediated by North Atlantic sea surface temperatures. A possible negative correlation can also be observed with the orbital obliquity cycle with a 10 ka time lag, which is similar to the lag recorded from North Atlantic sea surface temperatures.

Uncovering Céline
Bagatelles pour un massacre [Trifles for a Massacre]
L'École des cadavres [The School of Corpses]
Les Beaux Draps [A Fine Mess]
Louis-Ferdinand Destouches met Cillie Pam in Paris, at the Café de la Paix, in September 1932. Destouches was a physician who worked at a public clinic in Clichy treating poor and working-class patients; Pam was a twenty-seven-year-old Viennese gymnastics instructor eleven years his junior on a visit to the city. Destouches suggested a stroll in the Bois de Boulogne, took Pam to dinner later that night, and afterward took her home. Two weeks together began, after which Pam returned to her work and life in Vienna. Over the next seven years, they saw each other infrequently but corresponded regularly. Pam, who was Jewish, married and had a son. Destouches, who wrote in his free time, became famous shortly after their brief affair, his first novel, Voyage au bout de la nuit, published at the end of 1932 under the pseudonym "Céline" (his maternal grandmother's first name), proving an enormous success. In February 1939, Destouches received word that Pam had lost her husband: he had been seized, sent to Dachau, and killed. On February 21, Destouches wrote to Pam, who had fled abroad:
Dear Cillie,
What awful news! At least you're far away, on the other side of the world. Were you able to take a little money with you? Obviously, you're going to start a new life over there. How will you work? Where will Europe be by the time you receive this letter? We're living over a volcano.
On my side, my little dramas are nothing compared to yours (for the moment), but tragedy looms nonetheless….
Because of my anti-Semitic stance I've lost all my jobs (Clichy, etc.) and I'm going to court on March 8. You see, Jews can persecute too.
How a reader responds to this letter is, I suspect, a fair predictor of how capable he or she might be of tolerat-ing the extreme disjunctions that predominate in the life and art of its author. One of Céline's biographers, for example, describes the letter as possessing "a curious blend of concern and sheer tactless selfishness," a response that itself seems to exhibit its own curious blend of sheer shortsightedness and apologism. Another biographer calls it, reasonably if inadequately, "astonishing," but does offer the useful detail that Pam, upon receipt of the letter, "never saw [Destouches] again and stopped writing."
My own sense is that such a letter would astonish most readers—words of condolence over anti-Semitic violence do not often contain anti-Semitic sympathies—except those who have read not only Céline's novels but also what have been inaccurately termed, for generations, his "anti-Semitic pamphlets." Alas, no English-speaking reader who does not know French could make so comprehensive a survey. Though all eight of Céline's novels are now available in dependable English translations, the so-called anti-Semitic pamphlets have never been officially published in English. Having recently read them in French in bootleg editions readily available online,1 I should report that the letter above, taken in that larger, less available context, isn't astonishing in the least. Rather, it's exactly the sort of letter one would expect from an anti-Semite of Céline's tireless and impenitent ardor, a writer who, from 1937 to 1944, spent all his flagrant literary energy and aptitude calling—shouting—for the death of every Jew in France (for a start).
Published just after Christmas 1937, fourteen months before his letter to Cillie, Céline's Bagatelles pour un massacre—approximately "Trifles for a Massacre," pour conveying "in favor of," "to the end of," and the more musicological "as accompaniment to"—is by no conceivable measure a pamphlet.Running to 113,000 words (The Great Gatsby is 48,000 words), and published in a first printing of 20,000 copies by Denoël—the same house that issued Céline's novel Voyage au bout de la nuit; his first play, L'Église (1933); and his second novel, Mort à crédit (1936)— Bagatelles is very much a book, one that went on to sell 75,000 copies by war's end. Narrated by a physician alternately referred to as Ferdinand (the autobiographical narrator of Céline's Mort à credit reprised) and as Céline, Bagatelles revolves around the physician-narrator's failed efforts to find a professional dance company to perform his ballets, scenarios for three of which appear in the narrative.2
Beginning with an apocryphal epigraph attributed to an eighteenth- century Almanach des Bons-Enfants ("He who dies without having settled his accounts is wicked, he will not go to Paradise") and ending with the ballet Van Bagaden (an allegory involving a lowly accountant's toil over the ledgers of his greedy master), Bagatelles may be read, on one level, as an exploration of what we value in earthly life and who decides it. "The world is full of people who call themselves refined and who are not, I declare, not even a bit," Ferdinand tells us at the outset. "I, your humble servant, I fully believe that I, I am a raffiné." This self-mocking self-certainty, a voice familiar to readers of Céline's earlier novels, particularly the satirical sections of Mort à crédit, is a conspicuous feature of Bagatelles. In dialogues with a range of interlocutors—Léo Gutman, a fellow physician and a Jew with connections in the world of dance; the narrator's cousin, Gustin Sabayot, another carryover from Mort à crédit—Ferdinand vents his spleen, rounding tirelessly and monomaniacally on the creature he holds responsible for his failures in the world of ballet and, by extension, all failures in the world: the Jew. A characteristic paragraph:
All the same, you need only consider, a little more closely, the pretty puss of the average kike, male or female, to remember it forever…. Those spying eyes, lyingly pale…that uptight smile…those livestocky lips that recall: a hyena…. And then out of nowhere there's that look that drifts, heavy, leaden, stunned…the nigger's blood that flows…. Those twitchy naso-labial commisures…twisted, furrowed, downward curving, defensive, hollowed by hate and disgust…for you!…for the abject animal of the enemy race, accursed, to be destroyed…. Their nose, the "toucan" beak of the swindler, the traitor, the felon…the sordid schemes, the betrayals, a nose that points to, lowers toward, and falls over their mouths, their hideous slots, that rotten banana, their croissant, their filthy kike grins, boorish, slimy, even in beauty pageants, the very outline of a sucking snout: the Vampire…. It's pure zoology!…elementary!… It's your blood these ghouls are after!… It's enough to make you scream…to shudder, if you have the least inkling of instinct left in your veins, if anything still moves around in your meat and your head, other than pasty lukewarm rhetoric, stuffed with cunning little tricks, the gray suit of bloodless clichés, marinated in alcohol…. Grins of the kind you find on Jewish pusses, understand, aren't improvised, they don't date from yesterday or from the Dreyfus Affair…. They erupt from the depths of the ages, to terrify us, to draw us into miscegenation, into bloody Talmudic mires and, finally, into the Apocalypse!…[My translation.]
The description of Jewish physiognomy and the great peril it portends is as stylistically lively as it is substantively empty: anti-Semitic stock-in-trade, the Jew as scheming fiend, out to annihilate the Gentile—this time by leading Europe into war once again. The roteness of much of Céline's ranting owes to his having plagiarized much of the book's contents: large passages appear within quotation marks but without attribution.3 Céline's sources? The very pamphlets that his wide network of anti-Semitic, racist, and fascist acquaintances had been generating, and for which Céline's fame and Denoël's resources stole a much larger stage.
Thus Bagatelles (and its succeeding volumes, which adopt the same sticky-fingered compositional strategy) is, in part, an uncommon sort of commonplace book: a clearinghouse for the promulgation of libel from many sources, sources by which Céline is stimulated into producing the "original" writing that binds the books together.4 Similarly, the 379 pages of the original edition of Bagatelles are yoked into stylistic coherence through, in part, their consistent vocabulary, the word Juif occurring 957 times and the word youtre (kike) 114 more, adequate quantification of a claim Céline made the month before Bagatelles appeared that his new book would be "on the Jews."5
Judging precisely what kind of book on the Jews Céline produced would not seem to demand great deliberation: the "anti-Semitic stance" he mentioned in his "astonishing" letter to Cillie is hard to miss. There can be no disputing that Bagatelles traffics in the shabbiest libels ("The Jew, directly or through middlemen, controls the following Trusts making up 750 billion of the 1,000 billion French national fortune"), trots out the industries said to be under Semitic control (fifty-six in all, including railroads, sponges, coal mines, wheat, armaments, vacuum tubes, insurance, mineral water, movie studios, shoes, electricity…), postulates the familiar global conspiracy ("It's the Jews in London, Washington, and Moscow that stand in the way of a Franco-German alliance"), and promotes the usual forgeries (The Protocols of the Elders of Zion "predict almost exactly all that the Jews have done in the world since then…and the Jews have been doing a lot in the world!"). And yet the slogan on Bagatelles 's publicity wrapper ("For a good laugh in the trenches") as well as the publisher's blurb ("The most atrocious, the most savage, the most hateful, but the most unbelievable lampoon the world has ever seen"), sentences written by the publisher in collaboration with Céline, suggested to some that the book was intended—as another world war loomed—as a satire on such extremism.
More than a few readers not lacking for sophistication received it this way. "It seems to me," wrote André Gide in April 1938 in La Nouvelle Revue Française, "that there has been an awful lot of nonsense written about Bagatelles pour un massacre by its critics":
What surprises me is that they could all have been so mistaken. For, after all, Céline was playing for high stakes, even the very highest, as he always does. He has always come straight to the point. He has done his best to warn that all of this is no more serious than Don Quixote's tilting at windmills…. Certain other readers might not be comfortable with a literary game that, with the help of stupidity, runs the risk of tragic consequences…. If one were forced to see in Bagatelles pour un massacre anything other than a game, then Céline, despite all his genius, would have no excuse for stirring up our commonplace passions with such cynicism and casual levity.
Follow the Nobel laureate's diagnosis of satire—for which Céline's apologists rarely seek a second opinion6—to its unconvincing terminus. The sad (but true) biographical facts of the early life of Louis-Ferdinand Destouches—wounded in the trenches of World War I, by most accounts severely, exiting the war a decorated veteran with tinnitus so pronounced that its roaring is said to have produced lifelong seizures—also left him a vehement pacifist.
His Prix Goncourt–winning biographer Frédéric Vitoux holds that Céline "voiced [his anti-Semitism] with a specific goal—to avoid war, save the peace, peace at any price." In that goal-driven light, Céline, like Juvenal, Rabelais, or Swift, would be designer of, as Gide put it, "a literary game," one that hoped to do what Alexander Pope said satire should: "deter, if not reform." Bagatelles : the anti-Semitic opus to end all anti-Semitic opuses. The main problem with this line of thinking is that Bagatelles was not Céline's last anti-Semitic book; rather, only the most narratively sophisticated in an increasingly crude trilogy of anti-Semitic books, one that—once the war was underway—was written in a moral vacuum.
An anonymous but largely accurate translation of Bagatelles exists at multiple sites online: 1, 2, 3. The bootleg editions are kept out of print in France, and banned from translation abroad, by Céline's ninety-seven-year-old widow, Lucette Destouches. "I have forbidden the reissue of the pamphlets," she has said, "and tirelessly brought to trial all those who...secretly issued them in France and abroad. These pamphlets existed in a certain historical context, a particular time, and have brought Louis and me nothing but unhappiness. They no longer have any reason to exist today." Destouches's ban extends until 2031, when the seventy-year term of copyright control that began with her husband's death in 1961 expires. Even so, there is a good chance, because of laws passed by French parliament in 1972 and 1990 making illegal "diffamation ou l'injure raciste" (racial defamation) and "le délit de négationnisme " (Holocaust denial), that they will never see legal print in France again.↩
These ballets, Birth of a Fairy, Wicked Paul, Brave Virginie, and Van Bagaden, supplemented by two others, were subsequently published by Gallimard as Ballets sans musique, sans personne, sans rien, and have been available in France since 1959.↩
As Alice Kaplan documented in her pioneering Relevé des sources et citations dans Bagatelles pour un massacre (Paris: Du Lérot, 1987). The project of sourcing Céline's anti-Semitic books was continued by Régis Terramanzi in his Esthétique de l'Outrance (Paris: Du Lérot, 1999).↩
The longer passages quoted here are examples of Céline's "original" material.↩
Whereas the word "Jew" appears only once in the first two novels and "kike" not at all.↩
See, in these pages, Victor White, "Only Joking," October 12, 1967.↩

A tiny, thin-billed, wing-flicking insectivore, it has a conspicuously striped head. Polytypic. Length 4" (10 cm).
Identification Adult male: dull grayish olive above, paler whitish below, head boldly marked with white supercilium, blackish lores and eye line. Yellow crown bordered broadly with black. Orange in center of yellow crown visible only during display, or when bird is agitated. Black at base of secondaries, contrasting with white wing bar. Adult female: similar to male, no orange in crown. Immature: somewhat pointier tail feathers than adult; a few males may lack orange in crown.
Geographic Variation Western subspecies (apache and olivaceus) slightly smaller, somewhat brighter, with longer white supercilium, longer bill.
Similar Species Ruby-crowned kinglet, readily distinguished by head pattern and call.
Voice Call: when flocking, a very high, sibilant jingling, tsii tsii tsii. Also, a quiet, high single note, tsit, and a thin sibilant seee similar to call of the brown creeper. Song: an extended version of the call, becoming louder and chattering toward the end; tsii tsii tsii tsii tiii djit djit djit djit.
Status and Distribution Common. Breeding: mainly boreal forests, a few in mixed or deciduous forests and conifer plantations. Also breeds in central Mexico and Guatemala. Nest: upper crown of conifer near trunk, 8–9 eggs (May–June). Spring migration: spring and fall migration difficult to detect in some areas with resident populations. Winter residents depart Gulf States before April. Peaks across continent late March–late April. Fall migration: begins mid-September over much of range, peaking in East in October and early November. Winter: many remain in breeding range through winter. Primarily south of Canada and north of Mexico in a wide variety of habitats. Numbers in southern California and the Southwest vary from year to year.
Population Breeding range increasing in the East and the Midwest due to plantings of spruce and pine. Adversely affected by logging.

About 90% coverage from gear + 5% from mob base miss, rest is covered by raid buffs. (typically you can't get 102.4% unless you had like insect swarm/scorpid up on the mob, so anything without those up you're close to capped)
At 97~% coverage you're still blocking just about everything!
And the +9900 is added to their base swing, which means it still has to go through armor, then finally block value. Block is calculated at the very end of all attacks, even after shield wall

Grave Encounters (2011)
Fear 3/5
Gore 1/5
Entertainment 2/5
Creepiness 3/5
Another in a line of recent films that I've been hotly anticipating, Grave Encounters seeks to put a bit of a spin on the found footage sub genre. How exactly do you say? Well for starters, it's a bit of a mockumentary at the onset. Not really Spinal Tap levels of silliness but its not too far off. After a television exec gives a bit of background around a group who were shooting a pilot for a new paranormal investigation show, we are shown a video which we're told has 'not been doctored in any way.' The beginning introduces us to our cast of characters and they're all what you'd expect, characters ripped straight from Syfy and Travel channel's finest and most hokiest: a female occult expert, a psychic, a tech guy and a cameraman. The team is rounded out by Lance Preston, the lead investigator. He's not too far off from the douchebaggery that is this dude:
Lance begins talking about Collingwood Psychiatric Hospital, the site of mass lobotomies perpetrated by the resident doctor and the location of their most haunted shoot to date. They go through the routine of setting up their equipment and listening to the stories of caretakers and kids who are squatting in the facility. But when the camera stops rolling after a particular segment we see that the whole lot of them are basically full of shit. The girl isn't really a hardcore occultist, the psychic puts on this elaborate act when entering the building and walking through rooms, and our lead doesn't really seem all that committed to capturing real paranormal occurrences. Rather it seems that he's more focused on selling the idea of his show.
As you can imagine, the tables get turned and our group really comes across a horror far greater than any simple bumps and thumps in the night. But before that happens, they get locked in for the evening by the caretaker and he's told to come back at 6am sharp. They spend a significant amount of time surveying the area with Lance completely in character, his hokey, spaced out, William Shatner-like dramatically paused delivery in full effect. You're just waiting for something to happen but nothing does. This is where the filmmakers (dubbed The Vicious Brothers) do a commendable job drawing everything out and creating a bit of a slow burn. They know, that to give you the goods immediately, would ruin the film and render actions completely pointless. For the film truly to be effective, we need to see this hokey, halfheartedly believing group really break down emotionally and come to realize they aren't getting out alive.
Our investigation is in full swing when supernatural occurrences start off pretty tame: a moving wheelchair, a closing door, a brush of someone's hair. But things soon get more violent and our crew comes face to face with some of the institution's lingering residents. The first batch of scares are really effective and you are just waiting for the tipping point where this group just completely melts down and loses all hope and rational thought.
But this is where the film ultimately fails. Yes the characters 'freak out' but you don't really feel like they are breaking down and really away all that much from character. Even Lance is more concerned with capturing everything on camera. It's not until the fateful end that we really see him breaking down. For it to break away from the hokey nature it set out with you'd really need to be sold on the fear of the group with their mental faculties just completely breaking down. That never really happens. What would have worked to great effect is if the group actually had more infighting or even more terrifying than that, so determined with his footage, Lance lashes out at one of the group members and causes mortal harm. Something, anything to convey that some or all had completely lost it would have worked wonders. Instead, what we're left with are some effective scares and essentially a long episode of Ghost Adventures.
A tough balancing act and transition for sure, but one that ultimately needed to happen. Unfortunately, the film as a whole just doesn't work. I do appreciate the attempt here at doing something different. And I'll definitely keep tabs on what the meanly moniker-ed Vicious Brothers do in the future. I do think there is enough talent here to pull of something really great.

Everyone's talking about this one, so I guess I'll watch it even though it'll be meh. But let me say, even as a lifelong fan of all things paranormal, that IMO death and destruction couldn't happen to a better group of victims than the cast of one of those "douchebags with nightvision" shows. So there's that to look forward to.

@Jayson, yeah it does give that impression. Like I said I wish it had devolved into something else and by and large it did. It just didn't really cause any genuine fear or concern for our onscreen characters, even if they were a bit douchey.
@Erin, absolutely. You could definitely do a lot worse. For me it came down to really caring at all, regardless of their douchetastic-ness. Even with the doucheist of douches you still have to have a bit of empathy right? I still kind of feel bad for Vince Neil and Brett Michaels despite their know no bounds douchebaggery. That's a lot of douche talk.

This Trailer kind of reminded me of Richard Mathesons Legend Of Hell House..Classic stuff! A lot of the newer films lack the atmosphere of those 60's and 70's efforts..But I'm looking forward to sussing it out anyway!..Cheers!

Gotta say, I just watched it and really loved this film. Thought it did a great job of ratcheting up the scares as it went on, had some terrific holy shit moments and they made that facility work for them as an all around creepshow.

Mike, I agree about some genuine scares and the setting which proved to be equally as effective. I just didn't get a sense that anyone really broke character and really understood the gravity of the situation. Their emotions wrung hollow. Great concept though.

RICHMOND, Vt. - Two snowboarders who went out of bounds at Vermont's Bolton Valley resort have been found after spending the night outdoors.
Police say 22-year-old Maxwell Hoffman of Springfield, Va., and 21-year-old Joshua Murray of Woodbridge, Va., emerged from the woods on Friday as search efforts were getting under way.
The two men said they had gone out of bounds off the back side of Bolton Valley toward Waterbury when they became lost on Thursday. Police say they were able to start a fire and build a make-shift shelter where the spent the night.
Both men suffered hypothermia and frost bite. Police say they were treated at Bolton Valley by ski patrol and a local rescue squad but they refused to be taken to the hospital.

Your gemming is all wrong. just because the gem socket is yellow or blue doesnt mean you have to put a yellow or blue gem in it (stam gem in your chest?)
Stop putting 20 crit gems in your gear, you should be using 20 STR gems unless you have an item that has a yellow and red socket in it and gives a STR socket bonus (use landsouls spread sheet to see what items are worth it), in those you put 10str 10 crit gems.
To hit the expertise cap you should gem for expertise, get the expertise wrist enchant, or get another item with expertise on it (boots from 25 anub)
You also arnt enchanting anything and thats at the very least a 2k dps loss right there.
Also the hit cap for everyones specials (other then casters) is 8%.
The hit cap for non duel wielders (arms warriors, blood/unholy dk's, ret pallys) is 8% for white hits also.
Hit cap for fury warriors is 5% because we get 3% from talents.
