libertarians have found that there are a lot of so-called "economic
libertarians" out there. These are folk who would like the government
to refrain from interfering in trade of "important" economic goods,
such as cars and houses; but who nonetheless think the government
should go ahead and interfere with trade of "un-important" economic
goods, such as baggies of pot or tabs of "E." "Economic libertarians"
also have some views on what counts as an economic good: acts of
sex, for example, are often not seen as properly economic goods,
and are thus taken to be subject to government regulation.
viewpoint of the economic libertarian strikes me as plausible, so
long as one does not actually attempt to justify it on libertarian
grounds. For example, some version of this viewpoint might follow
from a free-wheeling Utilitarian
approach, assuming that legalization of "drugs," prostitution, pornography,
etc., has a net-negative effect upon aggregate societal happiness.
Or one might approach things from a Humean-Jeffersonian
perspective, and argue that experience and tradition have shown
the need for communal regulation of social mores, but not of most
economic activity.
how can the "economic libertarian" be accommodated through
actual libertarian principles? For example, going back to Locke
and Kant, we find the principle that force is only to be used to
limit the other's improper use of force. We might term this the
principle," in reference to its proposed ground.
an in that state [of nature] has an uncontrollable liberty to dispose
of his person or possessions… [I]n the state of Nature, one man
comes by a power over another… but only to retribute to him so
far as calm reason and conscience dictate, what is proportionate
to his transgression, which is so much as may serve for reparation
and restraint. For these two are the only reasons why one man may
lawfully do harm to another…."
action is right which in itself, or in the maxim on which it proceeds,
is such that it can coexist along with the freedom of the will of
each and all in action, according to a universal law."… [I]f
a certain exercise of freedom is itself a hindrance of the freedom
that is according to universal laws, it is wrong; and the compulsion
of constraint which is opposed to it is right, as being a hindering
of a hindrance of freedom, and as being in accord with the freedom
which exists in accordance with universal laws."
classical liberal principles are typically "refined" by the contemporary
libertarian in terms of the "non-aggression principle," which might
be formulated as: "No
one has the right, under any circumstances, to initiate force against
another human being, nor to delegate its initiation."
aside the question of what it means to "initiate" force,
it seems clear that there is prima facie a conflict between
what the economic libertarian advocates, and what is permitted by
either the Estoppel principle, or the principle of non-aggression.
For example, if I sell an adult heroin, but employ no fraud as part
of the transaction, it is not clear how I could be said to have
used force against my customer. Now perhaps I would be doing something
immoral. Even so – might I not be performing an act that is
immoral for reasons other than that it involves the wrongful use
of force? Then, according to either the Estoppel principle of "use
force only to limit wrongful use of force," or the non-aggression
principle of "don't initiate the use of force," it would
be wrong for anyone to use force to interfere with my heroin transaction.
And, of course, this prohibition would apply to agents of the government.
these sorts of reasons, it seems to me that the actual libertarian
can't really help out the economic libertarian when it comes to
the latter's support for "the War on Drugs," etc. But maybe things
are different with prostitution and pornography. Perhaps we can
find some reasons to conclude that is right for the government to
intervene in these areas.
certainly seemed to think such government regulation is appropriate:
police has specially to care for the public safety, convenience,
and decency. As regards the last of these – the feeling or negative
taste for public propriety – it is important that it be not deadened
by such influences as begging, disorderly noises, offensive smells,
public prostitution (Venus vulgivaga), or other offences against
the moral sense, as it greatly facilitates the government in the
task of regulating the life of the people by law." The first
thing I would note is that Kant seems to allow for prostitution,
so long as it is not public prostitution…. Indeed, this may
be an important point, as it suggests that what Kant is advocating
is that the government has some additional power to regulate: 1)
what occurs on government property, and 2) interaction between private
property that makes some feature of the private property into public
must also consider the meaning of Kant's points about "convenience,
decency… offenses against the moral sense." Given Kant's other claims
in the Metaphysics of Morals, I think these points can be
assumed to apply to "public immorality," and to cases clearly covered
by the Estoppel principle; but not to private acts where force is
not used. –Be that as it may, what of this principle that one's
use of one's property may be limited, insofar as features of one's
property interfere with others' liberty? (I have this summed up
above as "interaction between private property that makes some feature
of the private property into public features.")
interference is typically referred to in the economic literature
in terms of "the problem of externalities" or "spillover effects."
In the case of pollution and other definite harms to life, limb,
or land, negative spillover effects are addressed by the "Coase
Theorem," which suggests that such effects will be minimized
by ending the "tragedy of
the commons." But what of harms that are less definite in character?
For example, there are feminists and conservatives who have concluded
that certain forms of speech are harmful – for example, if they "objectify"
the female body. So might one not further argue that, say, prominently
advertising pornographic goods on a store-front counts as "negative
spillover" of essentially the same type as spewing out radon or
pure carbon dioxide, etc.?
in reasoning about the Estoppel principle, I come to the conclusion
that it is up to property owners to set the rules for speech that
stays on their property (at least so long as no minors are allowed
on the property). This isn't a completely obvious conclusion, but
at least if one starts understanding this principle within the context
of the libertarian tradition, it follows fairly readily. If I own
a piece of property, then I can require those adults who enter my
property to agree to limit my liability against any claims that
speech on my property harms them. Indeed, contrary to what Locke
suggests in the Second Treatise, I am able to do this with regards
to any sort of harm. So, for example, if I want to traffic in pornography
on my property, the government et al. cannot not interfere
so long as 1) no minors are involved, and 2) the pornography cannot
be surveyed from property where the owners have not consented to
limit liability against harm from speech. Thus if the pornography
is kept "under wraps," or trafficked across connected
parcels of property with the correct liability-limitations, one
can participate in a thriving porn trade – even if one allows
that speech can be like radon.
this "some speech is pollution" thesis will clearly provide
for a set of strict limits on speech. These should be enough to
satisfy the more reasonable economic libertarians. Similar kinds
of reasoning will apply to prostitution. Following Kant, one might
argue that the government et al. can ban public prostitution
– the speech it involves is pollution for "the moral sense"
– but not private prostitution. And this concession of the
libertarian (or former libertarian?) to decency, propriety, etc.,
will mollify some economic libertarians. (Still, I fear most economic
libertarians have bizarre moralistic compulsions that requires them
to support the devotion of massive amounts of police funding to
combating prostitution, no matter how private. Alas.)
get into some trickier issues when it comes to things like regulations
concerning the aesthetics of buildings. You might say that your
neighbor harms you by painting her house bright yellow; and that
you should be able to limit that sort of behavior, since it interferes
with your liberty to make use of your own property (located next
can at least appreciate the sentiment involved here, as I have no
doubt that Americans will continue to make many very poor aesthetic
choices – absent either a fascist takeover, or some general cultural
renewal stemming from a more liberty-centered approach. More to
the point, it is not clear why this sort of painterly "speech" can't
be pollution, if the pornographic kind can be counted as such.
are clearly some ways around this problem. Imagine that real estate
transaction generally involve private societies ("corporations")
that buy large swaths of land, and then sells parcels of the land,
all of which have an easement requiring certain aesthetic choices
in building, or revoking the right to bring suit concerning poor
aesthetic choices, or some mix of these. From my perspective: problem
solved, except 'round the edges. The real issue is the various acts
of government interference that keep such private societies from
prominence, and which make it impossible for them to act freely….
as one doesn't get around this problem of "aesthetic pollution"
through force-free means, we unfortunately just have to rely upon
human judgment and traditions of liberty. If one takes "aesthetic
pollution" too seriously, this destroys the sense in which
a person can be said to own their property. But what counts as "seriously
enough"? Well, I'd argue probably a lot less seriously than
we currently do in most American communities – but this is
not a view I'd seek to ground simply in philosophical principles
concerning liberty. (In fact, my view has much to do with the experience
of watching my parents battle the "Coastal Commission"
while they were building their architecturally-novel home on California's
Central Coast.)
conclusion, I will address an inevitable question. This view that
we ought to accept the basic libertarian reading of what Verhaegh
calls the Estoppel principle, while at the same time accepting that
certain kinds of speech might be properly viewed as force-involving
"pollution" – is it actually a "libertarian" view?
am not sure. I think it's my view, anyway. But maybe it needs a
different name: "private libertarianism," "interactionist libertarianism,"
etc. One thing I will say: although it's not "economic libertarianism"
by a long shot, "private libertarianism" certainly is much closer
to "economic libertarianism" than is robust, the-Bill-of-Rights-encapsulate-eternal-truths,
interactionism-is-socialism libertarianism (yeah, that libertarianism).

Haiti appeal sets high standard for SMS donations
The earthquake that hit Haiti on Jan. 12 is a tragedy of devastating proportions. The official death toll stood at 111,500 as of January 24, according to the Haitian government officials, with another 200,000 people reported injured. Just 132 people were pulled alive from collapsed buildings in the past two weeks. In addition to losing their loved ones and their homes, millions of Haitians also lack the basic necessities of life: food, water and clothing among them. It is a desperate situation.
Big money
In a week dominated by events as profoundly sobering as the Haitian earthquake and its aftermath, the news that the mobile industry will turn over more than $1 trillion for the first time in 2013 is given serious context. Aid agencies that are calling for donations in the stricken Caribbean nation report that £50 can buy a food parcel that will feed a displaced family for two weeks.

2012 Holiday Season is here!August 15, 2012
Karl SpringerJanuary 7, 2012
"You don't have to be a "person of influence" to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they've taught me." – Scott Adams
There are so many amazing Designers who have influenced the current state of design and from whom we learn new things all the time.
Another one of our influences here at Keith Fritz is a renowned interior decorator and furniture designer whose designs were significant to interiors of the 1970's and 1980's. Though he isn't perhaps as well-known as names like Eames or Saarinen because he came along a little later, Karl Springer's work is still inspirational.
There are some designers whose style is so diverse it's hard to isolate a telling feature that is consistent across their work. For others, their work is so similar and thematic that you can identify them immediately. Karl Springer's work is unique because it is both! Springer created a huge body of work with a multitude of unusual and remarkable styles, shapes, patterns and colors, but within that huge body of work, many characteristics can be recognized. Much like Springer, Keith Fritz Fine Furniture is also influenced by a multitude of unusual but recognizable styles.
Keith is passionate about the style and design of his pieces. He is fluent in describing their classic or modern origins and inspiration, and he has the highest of standards for the types of domestic and exotic materials he uses to construct the furniture.
Likewise, Springer was known for his exotic and uncommon use of materials that he would partner with classic and contemporary shapes. He used wood, metal, lacquer and Lucite, but his most exotic pieces made out of leather, parchment, shagreen (shark's skin!), horn or reptile skins. He was also known for experimenting with several notable cultural and design styles, such as Art Deco, Asian and African motifs.
William Morris InfluencesDecember 23, 2011
Looking at beautiful works of art such as our furniture pieces, one could be driven to wonder what influences the designer to create. In the modern world, it is hard to deny the presence of design. Maybe one school of thought is that it has all been done before… but each time it is done again by a true artist, it takes on a new light and the ball gets rolling again.
One of Keith's historic personalities from which he derives influence is William Morris. A famous English textile designer in the 1800's, but was also known to be an artist and a writer. His genius as a pattern-designer is unequalled. This, if anything, he himself regarded as his specific profession; it was under the designation of "designer" that he enrolled himself in the socialist ranks and claimed a position as one of the working class. Morris's great effect was to stimulate the artistic sense and initiate movements.
Receiving his education at Oxford, he enrolled with the intention of taking holy orders, but then decided his energies were best spent on other areas … Morris decided to study architect. This drive to connect the divine with the environment that surrounds us was a path that Keith understood all too well as this was similar to the path he took.
Morris's influences were theology, ecclesiastical history, and poetry. He often visited churches and cathedrals while on vacation. He adopted a philosophy of rejecting the tawdry industrial manufacture of decorative arts and architecture in favor of a return to hand-craftsmanship, raising artisans to the status of artists, creating art that should be affordable and hand-made, with no hierarchy of artistic mediums. This too is a similar philosophy in which Keith Fritz Fine Furniture operates. We also believe, as Morris did, in the idea of preservationism and the need to protect the natural world from the ravages of industrialism in order to capture and share the beauty to be found in nature and natural materials. Morris was thought to be a forerunner to modern environmentalism and the green movement.
on tapestry weaving, Morris said:
"As in all wall-decoration, the first thing to be considered in the designing of Tapestry is the force, purity, and elegance of the silhouette of the objects represented, and nothing vague or indeterminate is admissible. But special excellences can be expected from it. Depth of tone, richness of colour, and exquisite gradation of tints are easily to be obtained in Tapestry; and it also demands that crispness and abundance of beautiful detail which was the especial characteristic of fully developed Medieval Art." – Of the Revival of Design and Handicraft
MasterpiecesDecember 16, 2011
We all know a great song can take you away to any place in time your imagination can conceive… just close your eyes and let the journey begin. Music isn't the only medium that has this ability. Any masterpiece can be a stepping stone for a strong emotion that can transplant your soul into warmth and comfort. This experience is, of course, different for every individual. Art appreciation varies for everyone, but a masterpiece should transcend the subject matter.
We can only venture to create masterpieces with our dedication and philosophies; it is left to our customers to decide if we have managed to evoke emotion strong enough to move them to such conclusions. A Master is a visionary capable of materializing his own vision while currently expanding that of others, the embodiment of art where nothing could be added nor anything done to improve it. You know when you've encountered a masterpiece because it stays with you for the rest of your life. When we create our furniture we endeavor to inspire with beauty, astound with technical skill and awe with harmonious balance.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but certain things most people will recognize as beautiful. We believe a great work of art is hard to quantify why it is a masterpiece, it is simply obvious that it is.
"Pride is a personal commitment. It is an attitude which separates excellence from mediocrity."
BeidermeierDecember 9, 2011
Smoothly polished surfaces, restrained decoration, the use of materials with characteristic patterns and great durability, Beidermeier is not just furniture, It is art. Some of our fans might remember a mention about Beidermeier in previous posts. This style has a significant influence on our furniture design.
This furniture style should not be imagined as an individual movement, but rather as a series of ideas encompassing most of the 19th century German speaking lands. Even though Biedermeier is not a traditional Anglo-Saxon style, it often appeals to people in creative professions such as advertising and the music and film industries. Biedermeier designs were simplified forms of the French Empire and Directoire styles and of some 18th-century English styles, and were often elegant in their utilitarian simplicity. Nowadays Biedermeier has become very popular due to its timeless design and therefore collectors enjoy this style of furniture with lasting appreciation. Its high functionality and simple forms suits today's modern sense of living but with a traditional form of craftsmanship.
In Biedermeier furniture, the choice of wood was of primary importance. Smooth, flat surfaces with little or no carving were typical, so that the grain of the wood became the most important element of decoration. After the wood choice, there is a strong influence of Classicism in the lines being obviously derived from Greek or Roman architecture. It is a rebellion against the overly ornate, a clean departure from fussy design with sweeping classical lines, strong scale and balanced proportions. This style is sleek and allows the artwork to have a voice that speaks for itself.
Artistic JoyDecember 2, 2011
"In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can inspire." – Ralph Waldo Emerson. Having passion for what we do is so rewarding when our customers find joy in our work. A recent customer testimonial sparked inspiration for this week's post and for December's newsletter. Customer appreciation strikes a deep chord for an artist who puts more than time, labor and materials into a project. A true artist must be inspired to create, possessed by a divine spirit and be able to evoke the essence of beauty from the design.
"I just wanted to let you know that Keith Fritz delivered to our home, on time, our dining room table. There is only one way to describe this table – it is a masterpiece! A true work of great art! It exceeded our already high expectations for it, and was exactly what we wanted. We will enjoy it for our lifetime, and will be a legacy to our children.
It was such a pleasure to work with Keith Fritz …" – Natalie in Chevy Chase, Maryland
Pre-Holiday DeliveriesNovember 25, 2011
"No person has ever been honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave." – Calvin Coolidge. We are honored to have such a wonderful fan base that understands and values what we do. Happy Thanksgiving everyone, and thank you for supporting our tradition of craftsmanship and artistic passion.
Keith is home for the holiday, however, he is just recently returned from a rigorous 4 day trip of constant deliveries. Last week on Tuesday, after a full day of carefully packing the truck, Keith and Alex took off from Ferdinand Indiana to the east coast. Wednesday evening they delivered a walnut Chatham dining table and server to Connecticut. Thursday morning they stopped by the Wood & Hogan Showroom in New York to deliver another table before going on to DC to make another 4 deliveries that evening. Friday morning they made the final delivery to the Michael Cleary showroom at the Washington Design Center before returning home. This may seem like a lot of travel to get orders in the hands of customers, but Keith would have it no other way. Personal deliveries allow him to make sure the works get there in great condition and in the shortest time possible for the highest client satisfaction. Many times this practice permits Keith to meet the client in person and get the greatest reward from creating his pieces, the client's personal satisfaction. "It's a rigorous schedule, but I am always enthusiastic about being able to deliver in person" – Keith Fritz.
Dining Table Care InstructionsNovember 18, 2011
Wood furniture is among some of the easiest to repair, care for and preserve. You don't have to do much more than enjoy and use our tables to maintain the furniture, however, there are things that can damage it.
Extreme Heat will damage the finishes. Warm temperature are acceptable, however, a hot casserole dish or excessive heat from a beverage mug may deteriorate the finish and leave a ring.
Harsh chemicals are not necessary to clean our high quality satin finish and may leave a mark, a lint free cloth is great for everyday maintenance, and a mild wood furniture cleaner will do well when needed.
Water, if wiped up within 15 minutes should not hurt the finish. If you mix moisture with heat it will leave a mark and if there is prolonged water exposure and/ or a table is flooded with long-term immersion it may cause permanent damage to the piece.
Solvents, like nail polish remover, can counteract the protective top coat and may harm the table's finish.
Abrasion, such as sliding rough stoneware across our table or allowing pets to climb on the surface will cause scratches to appear.
The good news is because of the finish process we use, if a table is damaged, a professional can fix most anything and help extend the life of your furniture. Keith is happy to touch things up when he is in town for clients if it is an easy fix that can be done in the home as he has done this on many occasion.
Gather Around the TableNovember 11, 2011
November is a perfect month for celebrating good cheer at Keith Fritz Fine Furniture.
Today is Veteran's Day, it is also a unique day in the calendar of which we haven't seen the like for the last 100 years… 11-11-11. We would like to thank our Veteran's for all they have done and wish everyone a great start to this holiday season.
Everyone at Keith Fritz Fine Furniture is focused on dining tables this time of the year. Keith and his cadre of artisans are working long hours to complete several important dining table orders so that their families can celebrate the holidays at a new table made especially for them!
We have many exciting events lined up in the coming weeks. Keith and Alex will be back on the road next week making deliveries of the new tables to DC and NY. Thanksgiving week marks the 10 year anniversary of Keith making and delivering a Yew wood dining table for the Clintons's first thanksgiving outside of the white house, we will have a story about that in our special November news letter. The week after thanksgiving Keith is headed to Dallas to make deliveries there.
Remember to gather around the table and have good cheer. And if you are questioning just how much cheer your current table has left, please go to our website and check out some of Keith's products, dining tables are our passion.
Chatoyant SurfacesNovember 4, 2011
Chatoyance [shuh-toi-uhn s] – French term defined as having changeable luster; twinkling
Imagine a tigers eye stone, known to be chatoyant with a silky luster. It is generally cut using a specific technique, en cabochon, which allows for the stone to show off unique features. At Keith Fritz, we also take care in selecting and arranging our woods so that they too exhibit a replication of that moveable, gleaming chatoyance.
Some woods offer different looks when struck by light or seen at varying angles. A high quality finishing process can also create this effect in the wood. As you walk around one of our tables the colors will dance and shift with you as you travel. This quality speaks to our dedication to giving our clients the very best that can come from a wood product. "Harnessing the beauty of nature is not a luxury, it is a necessity for the human spirit."

Million Dollar Prize Claimed by Wausau Winner
Submitted: 12/28/2012
- Two million dollar lottery winners in Wisconsin have claimed their prizes, including a central Wisconsin Woman.
Kathryn McGowan, of Wausau, bought a one million Powerball ticket on December 19th in Rib Mountain.
McGowan says she played her family's birthday numbers and she was surprised she won after playing for a long time.
Wisconsin lottery officials say she received $672,000 in a lump sum payment after taxes. David Landgraf, of Milwaukee, won a December 18th Mega Millions drawing.
He received the same lump sum payment.
The two stores that sold the winning tickets will receive a $20,000 commission from the Wisconsin Lottery.

Don't know if you've gotten an answer to this yet . . . actually I'm not real sure why you would need to replace the tip so soon, but if it's a Walcom tablet I'm pretty sure there is the gray plastic ring around the white tip that you can twist off. Maybe try that?
Awesome work by the way!
I've tried that but I still can't get the thing off. I want to change it because the tablet comes with 3 different kinds of tip type and I want to try out the other.
Also thanks everyone fro your support I'll try to see if I can do most of it tonight.

Overcome content shock by marketing to an audience of one
Posted on September 30, 2014 1:16 pm by Shel Holtz | Brands
Note: On October 28-29, I am teaching a two-day workshop in London on how to reset your social media efforts to employ approaches that work. This post addresses one of the approaches I'll cover. The two-day workshop, from the International School of Communication, is open to registration here.
As pundits lament the volume of content online and the challenge marketers face of getting noticed amid all the noise, one tactic is demonstrating a lot of power but not getting all that much attention. Organizations that communicate to an audience of one using novel and creative approaches are getting attention from bigger audiences than the Read More »

I love, love , love these earrings! The are much more than I expected. Well made, pretty and different. What a great value!
These earrings are very pretty and have a nice design. The size is good - however they are a little bit heavy so they will pull your lobe some.
These earrings are a great value! They appear to be hand crafted and are quite well made. They arrived with a backing to slip on the earring wire to help keep them from slipping off, which I really liked, and they are not as heavy on the ear as they appear. Dress these up or down, they are versatile and beautiful. I am very satisfied with these earrings and would highly recommend them.
Very nice material, These earrings are not paint on accents, but in fact, the coils accents are hand woven. Love them, ~ But be careful the coil have gotten caught in my hair and have untraveled.
color is excelllent, workmenship, deatils excellent, I will wear these all the time if I didn't have to change them. I am very to say will be buying more from this company
light, unique, comfortable versatile, go with silver or gold. very light considering their size.
Love these earrings and wear them several times a week. These earrings are just large enough to make a statement and not so large that they are overwhelming. The silver and bronze materials make them versatile enough to where with any color scheme.
I didn't care for the back of the earrings. It was an inexpensive looking metal. If the whole earring had been the wire brass, it would have looked better. I'm returning for that reason. The website didn't show the backside of the earrings.
Fun, large dangles! Not too heavy and great if you have long or full hair. Complements the face and the mixed metals are a plus! I have only worn a couple of times, but have enjoyed them.
I was pleased to receive these earring and will enjoy wearing them, having said that, they are larger than I expected, not a problem but something to be aware of if ordering. They will go with just about everything, dress up or dress down.

Invasive Siberian Pea Shrub removal with Grand Marais's 10th Graders
|Cook County Invasive Species Team
What is the Cook County Invasive Team? Land managers in Cook County have been working together informally on invasive species problems for several years but in the spring of 2011 a Memorandum of Understanding was signed by local, state, federal, tribal, and non-profit organizations to officially form the Cook County Invasive Team (CCIT). This creates a framework for continued cooperation between member organizations and allows long-term invasive species strategies to be carried out across ecological, rather than political, boundaries. Through the CCIT, local, state, federal, tribal, and non-profit organizations can share resources, expenses, knowledge, contacts, and education to limit the impact of non-native species in north-eastern Minnesota.

Keeping Up with Salman Rushdie
Haroun and the Sea of Stories
On Christmas Eve last year, six Muslim scholars held a meeting with Salman Rushdie, at the end of which the novelist affirmed the oneness of God and the genuineness of the prophecy of the Prophet Muhammad. At which point somewhere between six and sixty million newspaper readers around the world set down their coffee cups and said: Oh.
But every Oh that was uttered had its own special flavor, its own modifier, its own tinge of meaning. Oh he did, did he? Oh so they got him in the end! Oh how convenient! Oh what a defeat for secularism! Oh what a shame! Oh Allah be praised!
For myself, the Oh that escaped my lips began life as a vibrant little cerise cloud of wonderment. For a few seconds, as it hung in the air, I thought I detected in the cloud the broken features of Galileo. I looked again, and Galileo seemed to have turned into Patty Hearst. I thought of Oslo…no, not Oslo, the Stockholm syndrome. Then the cloud turned pale beige and I thought: drat it, if I hadn't been so dilatory with my review of Haroun and the Sea of Stories, I would not now be faced with the task of writing about this.
For it is hard enough, when reading and thinking about Haroun, to separate the book from its author's plight. But who could be expected to concentrate on any text when, somewhere at the edge of vision, the author was undergoing such an exotic metamorphosis "Look, you just carry on reading my book. Don't mind me. I'm just turning into a peacock…a vase of flowers…a comet…a constellation."
At this point I can already hear Rushdie's voice objecting that it's not so exotic, if your grandfather was a devout Muslim, to embrace Islam yourself. As country folk in England say of an interest in beekeeping, "It often skips a generation." And it is true that, in normal circumstances, one might be happy to accept any of the "natural" explanations on offer. Salman had, as he has said before, a God-shaped hole in him. If it was going to be any religion, it was always going to be Islam. He had always been interested in the spiritual aspect of human experience; but how could one talk of spirituality and the soul without positing a God? That had been the problem in the old days. These days, by accepting God, he has made things easier for himself….
These "natural" explanations, put forward in interview, with patience and much charm, will do little to change the minds of those who believe that they have witnessed—and this is what makes the case so exotic—an example of a forced conversion. It was this that caused the initial dismay. Then there was the question of Salman's decision not to allow a paperback version of The Satanic Verses for the moment, and to prevent any further translations of the book. While the conversion was considered (by some, not all) a matter of private conscience, the climbdown over paperback publication was taken as a public issue. Some people thought Salman had sold out. The lawyer Francis Bennion was quoted, on his resignation from the Salman Rushdie Defence Committee, as saying:
There are several reasons why Rushdie is not worth defending…. He has decided not proceed with the paperback, so surrendering to would-be murderers. He has decided not to proceed with translated editions of the book, another form of surrender. Worst of all, he has now confounded his supporters by embracing the bigoted creed that holds its followers entitled to murder a novelist for what he has written in a novel.
The most creepy sentence in this outburst is the first. What, in the actual case in question, is Salman being defended against? Oh—a death sentence, was it? The revenge of the mob, perhaps? Free-lance hit squads in pursuit of bounty money? Mr. Bennion the Barrister, who presumably finds it "worth defending" obvious criminals against lesser penalties, has, in this taxing and protracted case, decided to take umbrage.
Umbrage is the word. There is a jilted tone to the remarks of the Dismayed Friends. The circumstances of Rushdie's personal catastrophe are such as to arouse in others the most intense fantasies of friendship, and if a friendship is really a fantasy it is as prone to the disease jilt as a clematis is prone to wilt. Mr. Bennion was suffering from jilt. The dream Salman, the plucky little atheist Mr. Bennion was singlehandedly hauling out of the well, turned out to be a nasty muddy Muslim after all, and Mr. Bennion let go of the rope. Bumpety, bumpety, splosh. Back into the well fell the nasty dream Salman.
I tried to explain over the phone to the real Salman the way this process operated, how powerful our fantasies of friendship can be, and so forth. He heard me out, or he just about heard me out. Then he reminded me rather sharply that at his end of the phone there was more at stake than hurt feelings.
To return, then, to the Galileo comparison: as soon as I saw it in print, even though it had been my first thought, I disliked it intensely. For a start, Salman has not turned his back on The Satanic Verses, has not denied it or called for its suppression. He has agreed to delay paperback publication for the time being, to let things cool. This for him was a concession, although I hardly think that Penguin was keen on the paperback anyway. I believe, in common with many of Salman's supporters, that this concession was wise. You can still buy the hardback—it's a bit like the way it must have been purchasing condoms in the Fifties (and how dismaying to set out to write a novel, and to find that what you've written is a packet of one dozen Durex Nu-form lubricated with Sensitol—unless of course you are a magical realist, in which case you should take it in your stride)—but it's possible. As to the question of any further translations, when has it ever been a writer's duty to have his work translated into the maximum number of languages? One should not introduce new fanaticisms into an argument against fanaticisms.
As to the conversion itself, there is no doubt that it took place under circumstances of duress, but the Patty Hearst comparison does not enlighten. Salman has affirmed the religion of his ancestors. As far as we know, none of Patty's ancestors was a member of the Symbionese Liberation Army. The Stockholm syndrome, the phenomenon known as projective identification, seems on reflection inapplicable in this sense: according to the theory, the captor (in, as it were, a hijack) projects all feelings of helplessness, weakness, and smallness onto the captive, who responds by projecting onto the captor all capacity for power, rational thought, decision, and action. The captive thus ends up identifying with the captor.
It makes a difference that Salman Rushdie is only metaphorically the captive of a certain branch of fundamentalist Islam, and that physically he is under the protection of the British Special Branch. It is also most striking that Salman has not projected onto the ayatollahs all capacity for rational thought. If he had done, one would expect him to be running around shouting, "Off with my head."
For the fatwa did not call for the conversion of Salman Rushdie. It called for his death (and, do not forget, the death of all those involved in the publication of The Satanic Verses who were aware of its content). Conversion wasn't mentioned or implied as a way out, and in this sense, whether we see the conversion as sincere or as a ruse, it has a quality that frustrates the intentions of the late Ruhollah al-Musavi al-Khomeini.
And it is consistent with what I know of the preconversion Salman Rushdie, in the sense that it points in the direction of a nonfundamentalist, tolerant, disputatious Islam, and indeed calls that tendency to its aid. I don't believe that Salman ever thought of Khomeini as representing Islam itself, that he confused the fatwa with the creed in the manner of Bennion's outburst. On the contrary, he was extremely alert to nuances within the religion and the political implications of that religion. His life, after all, depends on such considerations.
My (purely speculative) point is that I doubt it felt to Rushdie, when he embraced Islam, that he was yielding to Khomeini, any more than it would seem to me that I was yielding to Rome if I began attending Protestant services in Belfast. The hand of friendship had been proffered. The six Wise Men from the East agreed that The Satanic Verses had been wildly misread. It was pointed out that, in becoming a Muslim, you do not have to imply that you are a perfect Muslim—doubts can be retained about this and that. And anyway, as Salman has said since, Islam is a very private religion. You don't even have to set foot in a mosque. The whole thing is a matter between you and your God.
The conversion did not succeed in lifting the fatwa, but maybe it was never expected that it would. One thing it did achieve, besides making some of us jump out of our skins, was a clearing of the air as far as some of Salman's most hostile critics were concerned. I take the example of Shabbir Akhtar, from the Bradford Council of Mosques, who had written in The Independent:
If Rushdie decides to cancel the paperback and engage in a dialogue with people whom he has thus far contemptuously dismissed as ignorant and anti-intellectual, there is scope for reconciliation. All Muslims look forward to the end of the Liberal Inquisition. Islam is a religion of militant wrath as well as conspicuous mercy. The magnanimity which has been denied to both parties may yet seek an occasion.1
On January 4 this year, after Rushdie had overfulfilled these conditions somewhat dramatically, Shabbir Akhtar had another letter in The Independent:
Sir: Salman Rushdie, the prodigal son of Islam, wishes to return home. And there should be much rejoicing in paradise over such a sinner.
But there is a distant land from which no one returns. It is not that the Muslim father won't forgive. Rather, Rushdie can't find his way home. For there are sins that permanently rust the heart, corrode the mind and blur the vision.
Home is certainly the one place where they have to believe you when you insist on it. The tricky part is finding the way there. The way back to the household of Islam is paved with bad intentions; and the safest bet is never to leave it in the first place.
Why does the prodigal want to return anyway? Because, as they say in that Yorkshire colloquialism, he's skint. He's run out of supplies. And the best provision is the love of God.
The far country of double standards and false absolutes still pulls Rushdie back. There he formed friendships and ties he could never break in good faith. What, then, of the kindness of the security men, the goodness of [Rushdie's defenders] Pinter, [Arnold] Wesker and St. Fay [a reference to Fay Weldon]? Do these count for nothing? Surely these have a place in Rushdie's heart. There are choices that can seal one's fate—even before death intervenes to end both the dilemma and the choice. Many battlefields lie outside the heart. And God has every affair in his care.

1995 Honda Odyssey (RA1) – Wagonista – 152
Name: Chris Amaria
Age: 31
Occupation: Salesperson
Lives: Auckland
Pretty unusual JDM-themed VIP wagon you have here Chris. We're guessing there's a bit of a story behind it.
It's a '95 RA1 Honda Odyssey that my wife actually uses as her daily driver and we both use as the family wagon in the weekends. We've owned it since 2004, and when we got it, it was completely standard in dark blue with a factory ride height three feet off the ground.
Really? It's hard to believe you didn't buy it like this. So did you go into the build with a clear-cut Japanese VIP direction?
Yeah, sort of. At the time we needed a bigger car, and I had always kind of liked what people did to Odysseys in Japan. Plus, no one in New Zealand had seemed to have done anything like this before, so it was a good chance to do something different.
Working for New Zealand's biggest Honda dismantler since forever would have made the task a lot easier for you as well.
Haha, definitely. Working at Strong For Honda I had access to a whole lot of used aftermarket JDM styling and performance parts that came in on wrecked Odysseys from Japan. No one else seemed to want them, so I thought, "Hey, I've got a blank canvas, let's see what we can do." Five years later, it's got to the stage where I think it looks all right.
Dude, it looks bad-ass! Talk us through the exterior mods.
The front and rear bumpers and side skirts are from the Japanese VIP bodykit company Spirits. The full kit normally has door panels too. I test fitted them but didn't like them, so they didn't end up going on. The grille is Mugen, but I'd really like to change that to something that suits the lines of the wagon a little better. I'm not sure what the rear wing is, and even though it fits the style well, I'll probably change that soon too. And the smooth tailgate, well, that's actually a single fiberglass cover that has been attached over the factory rear panel.
What about the wheels? Do we spy some oh-so-VIP Fabulous Profound rims there?
Yeah, they are 18×8-inch up front and 18×9-inch on the rear. I'm not sure of the offset, but they came into work on an Accord Wagon, and luckily enough because they were multi-stud bolted straight up. They seem to fit well. It's sitting on fairly new Cusco adjustable coil-overs front and rear, and it also runs Cusco camber arms, Cusco toe arms, a Cusco lower arm bar on the rear, Cusco front strut brace and a Cusco brake master cylinder stopper.
Sounds like a well-sorted setup then. Does it handle?
It's not too bad now. These wagons don't handle very well standard, and we only had it for a week like that before I changed the suspension to a Tanabe spring and Bilstein strut setup, which instantly made it feel like it didn't want to tip over. I only went to the Cusco coil-overs so I could set the ride height to a more aggressive stance. Airbags would be nice, but nah I can't really justify the cost of going down that road.
What about the interior? Was the full leather trim another work score?
Yep. The full interior, door trims, seats and carpet are all out a Singaporean import, which are normally much higher specced than the JDM models. I've also added a few other chrome and black marble trim pieces from a V6 Odyssey to finish it off.
Looking under the bonnet it's obvious that the mods you've made aren't all limited to aesthetics. Fill us in on what you've done there.
Originally it had the standard F22B 2.2-litre single cam non-VTEC fitted, but because it needed some work that required the trans to come out, we decided we might as well pull the engine out and drop something else in. What we've got is a 2.2-litre H22A DOHC VTEC out of an Accord SiR.
That's pretty cool was fitting it an easy proposition?
Andrew Short at Rally AS did the conversion for us, mainly because he did the first swap of this type about four or five months prior. It's basically a straight bolt-in up to the factory auto. The only thing that really needed to be modified was to add a VTEC solenoid wire into the Odyssey's harness. The trans has about 50 more horsepower to hold than it should have, but it's held up fine so far.
It's a cool conversion, for sure. Are you surprised that Japanese VIP wagon and minivan styling hasn't taken off in New Zealand, especially given how many people are infatuated with JDM tuning?
Yes and no. It doesn't surprise me because I think vehicles like this aren't really considered acceptable to modify in New Zealand. We're generally very set in our ways, and I don't think many people like to step outside the 'normal' realm for fear of being ridiculed. Also, unless you buy an import with all the VIP bits already on, it's expensive to modify something like this because parts are scarce and that only leaves the custom route to go down. I really don't think people are prepared to spend a lot of money on just a cosmetically based vehicle, either. I love it though; we get heaps of comments and people asking us what it is, and you just don't get that with a WRX or Evo.
Well said. Rumour has it that the Odyssey is not the only interesting H-badged car in your garage.
No, I've got Beyond 2 Performance's old EK Civic drag hatch as well. I picked it up as a rolling body and I'm now basically in the throes of putting it all back together. It's a pretty simple budget build, with B18C engine, B16A LSD gearbox, Tein coil-over suspension, Backyard Special-style front bumper, fibreglass bonnet, race seats and a roll cage.
Sounds like Strong has come through for you again. What's the plan for the car?
I plan to do a little bit of drag racing, and then once I've sorted some decent brakes, maybe try my hand at a little bit of track work. Basically, though, I'm just building the car for myself, more as a fun car for the weekends than anything else.
That's what it's all about. Cheers Chris!

Another high-level Wachovia Corp. executive is leaving as new chief executive Bob Steel forges his own management team.
The Charlotte bank on Thursday said Chief Risk Officer Don Truslow, 50, plans to retire once a successor is named. A Wachovia spokeswoman declined to comment on the reason for his departure. The bank has been beset by massive loan losses in its mortgage portfolio as well as writedowns in its corporate and investment bank.
Truslow, charged with monitoring the quality of loans and other bets made by the bank, has often been the one to outline these troubles to investors and analysts. During the bank's second-quarter earnings call last week, he faced questions about the accuracy of the bank's projections for the housing market after it once again detailed rising losses.
"It's a very dynamic market and like everybody else, we will adjust as things unfold, but we think what we've got is a very realistic outlook," he said.
Analysts have expected the departure of leaders tainted by the company's travails during the credit crunch that began a year ago. Wachovia shares climbed about 1 percent Thursday to $17.27 but are down about 55 percent for the year.
Wachovia last week said Chief Financial Officer Tom Wurtz was exiting after a replacement is found. Analysts have also speculated about the futures of corporate and investment banking head Steve Cummings, capital management head David Carroll and Vice Chairman Ben Jenkins.
The company's board ousted CEO Ken Thompson in June and six weeks later hired Steel, a former U.S. Treasury Department official and Goldman Sachs Group Inc. executive. He's charged with reviving a company wrestling with an ill-timed expansion into the mortgage business at the peak of the housing boom in 2006.
In a statement, Steel thanked Truslow for his service to the company. "Don is highly respected throughout the company and the industry for his strong leadership, his excellent collaboration and his high ethical standards," he said.
Truslow said in a statement that Wachovia continues to have strong "core businesses," adding Steel's leadership will serve the company well. He joined then Winston-Salem-based Wachovia in 1980 and has held leadership positions in finance, risk management and corporate banking.
Perhaps Steel's most important hire will be CFO, the bank's top number cruncher and a key spokesman for the company on Wall Street. He's likely to seek a candidate with retail banking experience or tap a former colleague from Goldman Sachs or the Treasury Department, analysts say.
"We suspect an outside candidate will be preferable – someone with no ties to (Wachovia's) culture or existing problems who can come in and be totally objective," Sandler O'Neill + Partners analyst Kevin Fitzsimmons said in a research note.
One of the names circulating as a possible replacement already lives in Charlotte. Chris Marshall stepped down as CFO of Fifth Third Bancorp in May after joining the Cincinnati-based bank in 2006 from Bank of America Corp. He and his family kept their home in Charlotte. Marshall, who declined comment, is now doing advisory work for private-equity firms.
Another name cited by analysts is William Demchak, vice chairman of Pittsburgh-based PNC Financial Services Group Inc. A PNC spokesman declined comment.
Steel could call on his Goldman Sachs or U.S. Treasury ties, Fitzsimmons wrote in his note. The new CEO also might want someone with a commercial banking pedigree to offset his lack of experience in that area, he said.

When Rasl, a thief and ex-military engineer, discovers the lost journals of Nikola Tesla, he bridges the gap between modern physics and history's most notorious scientist.

Jeff Smith does it again. His visual storytelling paired with his creative foresight allow for darkly tantalizing tales like RASL. Romance and action are wrapped in scifi that's bound to spark creative interest for young and old readers.
Great story and drawing! I love it!
I was surprised by how much I really liked this graphic novel. It has all the elements of a really great story: history of Nikola Tesla, government conspiracies and cover-ups, parallel universes. It is definitely for adults, make no mistake about that. There is some violence, but I recommend adult reading mostly because of the amount of sex and sexual references. I find myself eagerly awaiting the release the next volume(s) into the library system!

Omanis vote for consultative council, women hope for gains
Omanis said many women turned out to cast ballots in the 105 polling stations across the Arabian Peninsula country, raising the prospect that women would win parliamentary seats they failed to capture four years ago.
October 16, 2011 8:05 by Reuters
Omanis voted on Saturday to choose representatives in the 84-member consultative Shura Council, an election overshadowed by discontent over unemployment and alleged government corruption.
Omanis said many women turned out to cast ballots in the 105 polling stations across the Arabian Peninsula country, raising the prospect that women would win parliamentary seats they failed to capture four years ago.
"We are now more confident and we are not letting our husbands decide who to vote for this time," Sharifa Al Shamsi, 27, a business studies graduate, told Reuters at a Muscat polling station. "Also, the women candidates running for election are more educated," she added.
The usually tranquil Gulf sultanate was hit by protests in February, part of the Arab Spring of uprisings that toppled the rulers of Egypt and Tunisia.
Omanis focused their demands on higher wages, more jobs and an end to graft rather than a change of government. Many also called for more powers for the council.
Sultan Qaboos bin Said, who has ruled Oman since 1970, promised after the unrest to give the Shura Council some legislative powers, and, trying to head off further protests, announced programmes to create jobs and fight corruption.
About 520,000 people registered to vote for the Shura Council, compared with 388,000 in the last election in 2007. Districts with a population of 30,000 elect two members, smaller districts choose one. The first elections were held in 1991.
The voters this time will make up nearly 33 percent of Oman's local population of 1.6 million people. About 40 percent of the people in the sultanate are under the voting age of 21, according to official figures.
Some 1,300 candidates are competing in the election, of whom 77 are women, up from 700 candidates who ran in the previous election in 2007, when 21 women ran for seats.
"The sultan has promised the new Shura members would be able to legislate but it is not clear yet in what capacity," Abdulla Al-Harthy, a former protest organizer, told Reuters. "What is clear, is that the decision is aimed to please his people to make sure there will be no more protests."
Turnout was not expected to be much higher than the 28 percent recorded in 2007, and many Omanis doubt whether the Council will be given real powers.
Deena al Balushi, a candidate for Seeb town in the capital Muscat, said that public campaigning, which the government has allowed for the first time, made a big difference in the higher number of women standing for election.
"Women candidates, who campaigned quietly in 2007, this time used newspaper advertisements, street posters, public speaking and the electronics media to publicize their candidacy," Balushi, a legal corporate counsellor, told Reuters.

blood copy
team eric? team edward? drink up, little girls.
by: faran krentcil
September 22 2010
view galleryRed Bull may give you wings, but Fred Flare wants to give you fangs - at least according to their new energy drink. Called "Blood Potion," it's got electrolytes, iron supplements, and basically everything else you'll find in Gatorade.
The difference, of course, is aesthetic. This juice comes in an IV bag, oozing blood red out of each corner, and featuring an official-looking hospital label on the front.
And though Bill Compton prefers his synthetic blood to be O-Negative, this one is flavored for humans, in fruit punch. It also comes in lemon-lime - though that one's called Zombie Blood, and far less exciting to those dying to reenact True Blood / Twilight / Let The Right One In. No judgments...
$8 each at Fred Flare

Personally, my intention was exactly that: use that check to allow devs
to detect the problem and commit a proper ebuild (this test could even
be fatal to really enforce developers to not miss it)

Hundreds enjoy green screen event
Over 400 people enjoyed one of the virtual tours of South Norfolk that we created for South Norfolk Council at this year's Royal Norfolk Show.
Visitors could cycle through the market towns of Diss, Harleston, Loddon and Wymondham as well as travel the country lanes of South Norfolk. The green screen technology also gave people the chance to drive a classic Lotus around Wymondham town centre, sail a boat along the River Waveney, fish in Diss Mere and run a market stall in Harleston town centre.
The interactive events attracted vistors of all ages and as well as providing some instant enjoyment, users were offered mini health checks to encourage them to take up exercise at one of the local leisure centres. The video footage filmed by Splice Creative also showcased the vibrant market towns in South Norfolk.

Sieht gut aus, macht was es soll. Perfekt
(58 stars)
Seit dem Update kann ich die App auf meinem Galaxy S4 nicht mehr verwenden: beim Abrufen von Nachrichten oder Mobilboxeinstellungen wie z.B. Ansagetext hängt sich die App dauernd auf. Deinstallieren geht nicht und die Ursprungsversion ohne Updates lässt sich nicht mehr aktivieren. Seit Wochen tut sich nix, hoffentlich wird der Fehler bald mal erkannt...
(58 stars)
I like it a lot as it allows navigating through voicemails on the screen. only limitatiin I dislike is that you can't use this app if you swapped temporarily your sim card ...
(58 stars)
Have the Nexus 5 with KitKat and this app works like a charm. I might actually start listening to my Voicemails now.
(58 stars)
Doesn't activate with KitKat / N5
(58 stars)
I can't set my greeting: all, what I say to recorder, isn't saved. Unusable :-(
(58 stars)
Could have some more features. But since it turns crappy voice-mail into something that is actually usable it's sort of awesome by default.

Gaming Console Wars Heating Up for Holiday Season
POSTED: Monday, September 17, 2012 - 8:54am
UPDATED: Monday, September 17, 2012 - 9:16am
The holiday season is just around the corner and so are the gaming console wars. Sony and Microsoft are under pressure to make their current consoles, the Playstation 3 and the Xbox 360, competitive with Nintendo's new console.
Nintendo announced its new console will hit stores in November with prices from $300 to $350. To compete, video game experts predict Sony will lower the price of its system by about $50 this holiday season. It's also predicted Microsoft won't lower the price of the Xbox 360 but will offer specials on consoles that are bundles with other games.
