Carbon Democracy provides a
unique examination of the relationship between oil and democracy.
Interweaving the history of energy, political analysis, and
economic theory, Mitchell targets conventional wisdom regarding
energy and governance. Emphasizing how oil and democracy have
intermixed, he argues that while coal provided the impetus for mass
democracy, the shift to oil drastically limited democratic
possibility; above all, the ability to confront contemporary
ecological crises.
For more than seven decades the conflict between
Israel and the Palestinian people has raged on with no end in sight,
and for much of that time, the United States has been involved as a
mediator in the conflict. In Brokers of Deceit, Khalidi zeroes in on the United States's role as the purported impartial broker
in this failed peace process.

What does it mean to be human? Humanism has mostly
considered this question from a Western perspective.Through
a detailed examination of a vast literary tradition, Dabashi asks that question anew, from a
non-European point of view. The World of Persian Literary Humanism
presents the unfolding of a tradition as the creative and
subversive subconscious of Islamic civilization.
The Impossible State argues
that the "Islamic state," judged by any standard
definition of what the modern state represents, is both impossible
and inherently self-contradictory. Comparing the legal, political,
moral, and constitutional histories of premodern
Islam and Euro-America, Hallaq finds the
adoption and practice of the modern state to be highly problematic
for modern Muslims.
What does it mean to be a Muslim - in this world, in
this deeply transformative time? Dabashi
asks this seminal question anew in Being a Muslim in the World, in
the context of what he proposes is a post-Western world where the
"Islam and the West" binary is collapsing and where
"the West," as a construct, no longer holds the same
normative hegemony. Against the grain of more than two hundred
years of colonialism and self-alienation, Islam remains not just a
world religion but a worldly religion - one that has always been
conscious of itself in successive imperial settings.

There is no better place to celebrate the achievements of the grassroots game than at the home of England rugby because it is at Twickenham that the ultimate results of volunteering efforts around the country are showcased.
Throughout periods of the year, there are opportunities to acknowledge outstanding individuals and/or groups of volunteers with a presentation at Twickenham. Occasionally, we are fortunate to have opportunities arise for these presentations to be made by rugby personalities, who have been able to join us to support our efforts to thank volunteers.
Nominations for these presentations are proposed via the Constituent Bodies and regional development teams. For more information, contact email@example.com

Will Congress Pass a Much-Needed Environmental Bill? The Future Is Looking Dicey
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
If global warming is the greatest test of humanity thus far, we haven't been doing swimmingly well at tackling it. Will that all change soon? Scientists tell us the clock is ticking and finally politicians in Washington have begun to shuffle their feet. The Waxman-Markey bill, known as the American Clean Energy and Security Act (ACES), which is now in day 2 of markup in the House Energy and Commerce Committee (and likely to be to the full House floor in June) represents our best shot so far at preventing the tsunami of runaway climate change that scientists fear is around the bend.
So will the bill survive? And if it does, will it merely be a shell of itself, having lost the bite it needs to actually accomplish the changes we need?
As Nobel-winning economist Paul Krugman wrote in his New York Times column, "Right now it's the environmental community that has to decide how much it's willing to bend."
So far, the community is split. Al Gore is for the bill -- along with big enviros like the League of Conservation Voters and Environmental Defense Fund. Leading climatologist James Hansen is against the carbon cap and trade part of the bill (a hugely significant part) and instead wants a carbon tax (you can read more about those differences here). Greenpeace has also been vocal about their reservations with the bill's latest incarnation, as has Friends of the Earth and others.
Krugman's analysis is: "I'm with Mr. Gore. The legislation now on the table isn't the bill we'd ideally want, but it's the bill we can get -- and it's vastly better than no bill at all." And those sentiments are supported by many enviros who believe a stronger bill is not likely to be seen for years, if that, and we may not have that long.
Daniel J. Weiss, senior fellow and director of climate strategy and Daniel Wagener, an assistant editor at American Progress, wrote a great list of the top 10 reasons to support the bill, prefacing it with the summary:
The ACES establishes a three-part program to transition to a low-carbon economy: increase energy efficiency; invest in clean-energy resources such as the wind and sun; and reduce global warming pollution. While the original draft of the bill reduced emissions sooner and had a separate national energy efficiency resource standard, the current version represents enormous progress after eight years of stasis. Passage of the bill in the Energy and Commerce Committee is an essential first step to policies that will accelerate economic recovery and achieve long-term growth.
But the bill does have some serious flaws. It has been weakened to accommodate some of our most polluting industries -- coal, electric, and auto -- as the Washington Independent reports:
For the coal and electric utility industries, for example, the compromise bill requires that U.S. emissions be reduced 17 percent by 2020, down from the 20 percent reduction promoted in the initial draft. The new bill also tamps down an earlier provision that states get at least 25 percent of their electricity from renewable sources by 2025, instead dropping that floor to 15 percent.
Additionally, although President Barack Obama had campaigned on a platform of selling 100 percent of so-called pollution permits to industry -- a strategy he said would generate $646 billion to fight global warming over the next decade -- the House compromise gives all but 15 percent of those permits away for free.
Writing for AlterNet, Daphne Wysham further explains some of the most serious grievances with the bill:

Where to Get Dim Sum in Greater Fort Lauderdale
When it comes to Broward county dim sum restaurants, the world is your chicken foot. Some offer steamed, fried and sautéed bites in the traditional pushcarts while at others you pick your meal from a checklist. The three-to-four-bite dishes are mostly standardized with everything from shrimp dumplings to baked and steamed buns filled with sticky-sweet chunks of pork. Yet some offer special items that are worth braving the ravenous weekend lunch crowd.
CandaceWest.com Chinese broccoli at Toa Toa Chinese Restaurant.
At China Pavilion we found veal with black pepper. More than a half dozen slices of veal ribs, with tender meat and narrow strips of fat on each edge attached to a small bone, came tossed in a thickened soy sauce gravy with just enough pepper to give each bite a hit of spice.
There's no real guideline to what you should order. Lok Tam, manager of China Pavilion, said Americans tend to find an item or two they like and stick with them. Chinese like to order a wide variety of the menu and prefer such sweets as deep fried sesame balls filled with sweetened bean paste or bite-sized tarts with egg custard.

Grey's Anatomy
Jackson Avery
Meredith Grey and Jackson Avery have a lot in common: both have to suffer the pressure that comes with carrying famous surnames. The super-hot grandson of famous surgeon Dr. Harper Avery (for whom the prestigious Avery Award, which Richard Webber was short-listed on, is named), Jackson is a surgical resident who joined Seattle Grace after the hospital's merger with Mercy West. Although he developed a crush on Cristina, which culminated in a drunken kiss at a party, she's made it clear that she isn't interested. Despite his nickname ("Pretty Boy"), Jackson has shown himself to be a promising surgeon, performing admirably under pressure during the hospital shooting.

Ex-Enron CEO Jeffrey Skilling could get reduced sentence
By JUAN A. LOZANO Associated Press May 8, 2013 2:38PM
FILE - In this Oct. 23, 2006 file photo, former Enron CEO Jeff Skilling leaves the federal courthouse after Skilling was sentenced to 292 months in federal prison, in Houston. Federal prosecutors and attorneys for Skilling say they have reached an agreement that will reduce the jailed executive's sentence for his role in the energy giant's collapse. Under the agreement, Skillings original sentence will be reduced to somewhere between 14 and 17.5 years. (AP Photo/David J. Phillip, File)
Updated: May 8, 2013 4:04PM
HOUSTON — Convicted ex-Enron Corp. CEO Jeffrey Skilling's more than 24-year prison sentence for his role in the collapse of the once mighty energy giant could be reduced by as much as 10 years if a federal judge approves an agreement reached Wednesday between prosecutors and defense attorneys.
Under the agreement, Skilling's original sentence will be reduced to somewhere between 14 and 17.5 years.
The agreement still has to be approved by U.S. District Judge Sim Lake, who is set to hold a June 21 hearing in Houston to make the final decision on the length of Skilling's sentence.
Daniel Petrocelli, Skilling's attorney, says the agreement "brings certainty and finality to a long, painful process."
Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said the agreement will allow victims of Enron's collapse to finally receive more than $40 million in restitution they are owed. The ongoing status of the case has so far prevented the government to distribute Skilling's seized assets to victims, according to the agreement.
Skilling was convicted in 2006 on 19 counts of conspiracy, securities fraud, insider trading and lying to auditors for his role in the downfall of Houston-based Enron. The company collapsed into bankruptcy in 2001 under the weight of years of illicit business deals and accounting tricks.
Skilling has been in prison since December 2006 and is serving his sentence in a low security facility outside of Denver.
An appeals court in 2009 upheld his convictions but vacated his more than 24-year prison term and ordered that he be resentenced, saying a sentencing guideline was improperly applied, resulting in a longer prison term.
The U.S. Supreme Court said in 2010 that one of his convictions was flawed when it sharply curtailed the use of the "honest services" fraud law, and told a lower court to decide whether he deserved a new trial. The lower court said no.
Skilling, 59, was the highest-ranking executive to be punished for Enron's downfall. Enron founder Kenneth Lay's similar convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease less than two months after trial.
Enron's collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered worthless $60 billion in Enron stock. Its aftershocks were felt across the city and the energy industry.

White Sox beat Rays, move one game back of Tigers in Central
BY TONI GINNETTI email@example.com September 28, 2012 11:49PM
Chicago White Sox Vs Tampa Bay Rays. White Sox players Kevin Youkliis, Alex Rios, Gordon Beckham and Alexei Ramirez celebrate the win Friday evening over the Tampa Bay Rays. I Scott Stewart~Sun-Times
Article Extras
Updated: October 30, 2012 6:14AM
Cheers erupted at U.S. Cellular Field in the top of the eighth inning Friday, the kind of thing that happens in September in a playoff race.
''I thought the Bears scored,'' a smiling White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. ''I knew they weren't playing, so I knew it was the Tigers score [a loss against the Twins].''
For 25,264 fans, it got even better moments later when the Sox completed a 3-1 comeback victory against the Rays to move a game behind the American League Central leaders.
''When I heard the crowd cheer, I knew something was going on,'' said Alex Rios, the hitting hero who gave the Sox a 2-1 lead in the fourth with his career-high 25th homer.
''Hopefully what we did tonight can get the momentum going and get us going. It's good we're just one game back, and anything can happen. We just have to play the same way we did tonight.''
The Sox' pitching carried the night. Gavin Floyd (11-11) persevered through five innings, holding the Rays to Ben Zobrist's home run in the first inning and Luke Scott's single in the second. Jesse Crain was strong through 22/3 innings, giving up only a single to Jeff Keppinger before Matt Thornton, Nate Jones, Donnie Veal and Addison Reed finished.
Rays starter Jeremy Hellickson (9-11) gave up only two earned runs but took the loss.
''We've played games like that all the time, but Gavin did a great job, and I can't say enough about Jesse,'' Ventura said. ''He looked strong enough to do it.
''We finally got a couple of timely hits, and guys came across the plate.''
The Sox ended the Rays' eight-game winning streak. ''Jealous'' was how Ventura described his feelings about the Rays' streak, but by the end of the evening, the Sox were feeling good about themselves again after snapping a three-game skid of their own.
''You've got to treat it as any other game and go out there and continue to have the same mentality, the same approach,'' said Floyd, who will have one more start in the final three-game series in Cleveland. ''You try to let your players field for you and try to put zeros up there. If you put more emphasis on it, it's not going to help you out.''
The Sox still went only 2-for-11 with runners in scoring position, but good pitching made the difference.
''That's how the playoffs are most of the time,'' Paul Konerko said of the low-scoring game. ''In that sense, the urgency and what's going on out there definitely feel [like the playoffs]. We're playing a team who's desperate to win, too. It's equal on both sides.
''We've been playing these games for a while now, for weeks. They are draining, but everybody is dialed in, and we're going to finish it to the end and see what happens.''
Rios said the last five games will take mental toughness.
''It's mentally exhausting,'' Rios said. ''It's like we're playing in the playoffs right now, and it's been like this for quite a bit.
''But you know what? It might be good because we're getting used to it. If we make it — and I think we're going to make it — it's going to help us because our minds are going to be in that mind-set. It's going to be good.''

SEOs: Your Typography Sucks guestpostlabs.comSubmitted by vinothshankaran Feb 21 2013 in UX 14 Comments Discuss (14) |
When people are on your website, they are either skimming through content to find what they are looking for, or they have found what they are looking for and want to read it as easily as possible. Either ways, having readable text will help them achieve their goal. A small change in typography can hugely impact the interpretation of your content If you look at the picture above, both the words "stop" and "Love" can be seen as an authoritative, urgent and bold warning…
Chris Marsh @chrismarsh_uk
Great points, but one easy tip the author didn't mention is to actually use slightly off-back. From a design point of view it looks alot nicer and even reads slightly easier than pure black on white.
Inbound have got this right :)
Toshobako @ToshoBako
furthermore never use pure white, but slightly off-white to avoid glare and fatigue of eyes.
jerome joel josy @_erome
Thought this piece was great personally--it seems obvious yet so often lacking? Easier on the eyes is a win for everyone, isn't it?
Jonathan Nelson @JonathanNelson
SO good. I'm a huge advocate of better typography. Not only does it improve user experience, but it will dramatically decrease your bounce rate.
Matthew Woodward @MattWoodwardUK
Here is a great little tool you can use to apply the golden rule - http://www.pearsonified.com/typography/
SEO Guru Ninja @SEOguruNinja
This is exciting news! I can't wait to change my fonts to this pretty one so I rank better in Google.
Ashwin Ramesh @ashwin_ramesh
That was not the point - if you have shitty fonts, users are going to run away. It's not enough if you just rank for stuff, you need to get users to convert and stay on your website.
Tad Chef @onreact_com
I agree that lots of SEOs suck when it comes to readability but the examples served are not THAT bad IMHO.
Eric Kidd @erickidd_design
They weren't awful, no, but they could have been improved. Typography goes beyond just readability - that's the functional bit that form then follows after. If you choose good fonts and kern them or lead them meticulously, you'll get a result that communicates your content better while also tying in to brand essence, providing uniqueness and holding attention.
I do wish font choice had been addressed a little more, especially since the examples all used a slab-serif title font with a thin sans-serif, high x-height display font; a trendy and safe choice, but not illustrative of the myriad of choices out there.
Ed Fry @edfryed Admin
SEOmoz is a bit small and narrow. Heck, even this is a bit small. But we've got a release coming to fix this and some other design issues :)
victorpan @victorpan
Guilty :( ... and thank you :)
Stacey Herbert @BrazenCW
Great content asset that would offer value to lots of readers, killed/buried with a sub-par headline, IMO.
William Smith @WilliamSmith
Pretty timely, been trying to get the word out on better typography myself! Its an incredibly important part of the experience. Not trying to spam links, but if anyone needs some step by step help using Typekit + Wordpress, i did compile a resource (altho, it is drop dead easy)
Patrick Coombe @patrickcoombe Mod
So glad I took a typography class in college. It has also skewed me because I find fault in practically all websites, including the ones about typography.

this product was ok wouldn't but it again find hard to use and wasn't able to charge camera like I thought it would
Camera battery & charger worked great, and arrived in a timely fashion. Recommend highly.
This product worked perfectly right out of the box. I ordered it to replace the original that I lost during a move. I only needed the charger, so now I have a backup battery that came with this charger. Great product.
like the fact that it also included a car charger and extra battery.
My camera was a gift from someone who bought a new one. I never received the charger or an extra battery, so I was delighted to find just what I needed online at Overstock. Thanks for having what I needed available and at such a good price.

Since the start of the 21st century, Americans have made great progress in controlling high blood pressure, although it remains a leading cause of heart attacks, strokes, congestive heart failure and kidney disease.
Now 48 percent of the more than 76 million adults with hypertension have it under control, up from 29 percent in 2000.
But that means more than half, including many receiving treatment, have blood pressure that remains too high to be healthy. (A normal blood pressure is lower than 120 over 80.) With many drugs available to normalize blood pressure, why are so many people still at increased risk of disease, disability and premature death? Experts offer a few common, and correctable, reasons:
• About 20 percent of affected adults dont know they have high blood pressure, perhaps because they never or rarely see a doctor.
• Of the 80 percent who are aware of their condition, some dont appreciate how serious it can be and fail to get treated, even when their doctors say they should.
• Some who have been treated develop bothersome side effects, causing them to quit.
• Many do little to change lifestyle factors, like obesity, lack of exercise and a high-salt diet, that can make hypertension harder to control.
Dr. Samuel J. Mann, a hypertension specialist at Weill-Cornell Medical College, adds another factor that may be the most important. Of the 71 percent of people with hypertension who are currently being treated, too many are taking the wrong drugs or the wrong dosages of the right ones.
Mann, author of Hypertension and You: Old Drugs, New Drugs, and the Right Drugs for Your High Blood Pressure, says that doctors should take into account the underlying causes of each patients blood pressure problem and the side effects that may prompt patients to abandon therapy. He has found that when treatment is tailored to the individual, nearly all cases of high blood pressure can be brought and kept under control with available drugs.
Plus, he said it can be done with minimal, if any, side effects and at a reasonable cost.
But many doctors who are generalists do not understand the intricacies and nuances of the dozens of available medications to determine which is appropriate to a certain patient.
Prescribing the same medication to patient after patient just does not cut it, Mann wrote in his book.
Types of hypertension
The trick to prescribing the best treatment for each patient is to first determine which of three mechanisms, or combination of mechanisms, is responsible for a patients hypertension, he said.
• Salt-sensitive hypertension, more common in older people and blacks, responds well to diuretics and calcium channel blockers.
• Hypertension driven by the kidney hormone renin responds best to ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, as well as direct renin inhibitors and beta-blockers.
• Neurogenic hypertension is a product of the sympathetic nervous system and is best treated with beta-blockers, alpha-blockers and drugs like clonidine.
According to Mann, neurogenic hypertension results from repressed emotions. He has found that many patients with it suffered trauma early in life or abuse. They seem calm and content on the surface but continually suppress their distress, he said.
One of Manns patients had had high blood pressure since her late 20s that remained well-controlled by the three drugs her doctor prescribed. Then in her 40s, periodic checks showed it was often too high. When taking more of the prescribed medication did not result in lasting control, she sought Manns help.
It turns out she had a textbook case of neurogenic hypertension, was taking too much medication and needed different drugs. Her condition soon became far better managed, and she no longer feared she would die young of a heart attack or stroke.
But most patients should not have to consult a specialist. They can be well-treated by an internist or family physician who approaches the condition systematically, Mann said. Patients should be started on low doses of one or more drugs, including a diuretic; the dosage or number of drugs can be slowly increased as needed to achieve a normal pressure.
Resistant hypertension
Specialists, he said, are most useful for treating the 10 percent to 15 percent of patients with so-called resistant hypertension that remains uncontrolled despite treatment with three drugs, including a diuretic, and for those whose treatment is effective but causing distressing side effects.
Hypertension sometimes fails to respond to routine care, he noted, because it results from an underlying problem that needs to be addressed.
Some patients are on a lot of blood pressure drugs four or five who probably dont need so many, and if they do, the question is why, Mann said.

Please call and e-mail Governor Steve Bullock and urge him to sign this pro-gun bill into law
Senate Bill 145, introduced by state Senator Frederick Moore (R-20), provides important confidentiality and privacy protection for concealed weapon permit holders. SB 145 passed in the state Senate by a 37 -13 vote on January 31 and passed in the state House by an 88-9 vote on March 13. It is now with the Governor waiting for his signature.
Please call AND e-mail Governor Steve Bullock (D) today and respectfully urge him to sign Senate Bill 145 into law.
Governor Steve Bullock
Phone: (406) 444-3111
Governor VETOES Two Pro-Gun Bills
House Bill 27, introduced by state Representative Ted Washburn (R-69), which would have authorized the use of suppressors while hunting wolves after the general deer and elk season. Governor Bullock vetoed HB 27 last Thursday, March 28.
House Bill 302, introduced by state Representative Krayton Kerns (R-58), would prevent state enforcement of any federal ban on semi-automatic firearms and/or "large capacity" magazines. Governor Bullock vetoed HB 302 last Thursday, March 28. For more information on so-called "assault weapons" and "large capacity" magazines, click here.
Pro-Gun Bills to be Voted on Soon in the state Senate
House Bill 205, sponsored by state Representative Krayton Kerns (R-58), is now awaiting action on the Senate floor after being reported by the Senate Judiciary Committee by a 7-5 vote on March 7. HB 205 passed in the state House by a 61-37 vote on February 22. This bill would legalize the use of suppressors for all hunting. While suppressors do not eliminate the sound of a firearm, they do reduce the muzzle report in a manner similar to the way that a muffler reduces exhaust noise from a vehicle. The benefits associated with suppressor use include increased accuracy due to reduced recoil and muzzle blast, protection from hearing damage and reduced noise pollution. For more information on firearms and suppressors, click here.
House Bill 240, sponsored by state Representative Cary Smith (R-55) and known as the "Higher Education Rights Restoration Act," limits the authority of the Board of Regents and University System to regulate firearms. HB 240, passed in the state House by a 58-41 vote on February 23, was reported by the Senate Education and Cultural Resources Committee on March 27 and is now awaiting action on the Senate floor.
House Bill 446, sponsored by state Representative Nicholas Schwaderer (R-14), provides that discharging firearms is not disorderly conduct. HB 446 is now awaiting action on the Senate floor after being reported by the Senate Local Government Committee by a 5-4 vote on March 27. HB 446 passed in the state House by a 61-38 vote on February 21.
The state Senate could vote on House Bill 205, House Bill 240 and House Bill 446 anytime, so please contact your state Senator TODAY and encourage his or her support for these pro-gun bills. Contact information for your state legislators can be found here.

BOISE, January 7, 2013 – In a recent piece in The Independent, Sir Peter Stothard (editor of the Times Literary Supplement) made a disarming statement. In essence, Sir Stothard claimed that the blogosphere is taking away from "real" literary critics and, in essence, damaging literature itself.
If you take a look at the comments on that article, you'll see that not too many internet users agree with Sir Stothard. There is certainly a difference between the old school, elite critic and a book review blogger or online writer.
But what exactly was it that Sir Stothard said that set the internet on fire?
Let' start here, "Criticism needs confidence in the face of extraordinary external competition… It is wonderful that there are so many blogs and websites devoted to books, but to be a critic is to be importantly different than those sharing their own taste… Not everyone's opinion is worth the same."
It's pretty cut and dry: "Dear sir, my opinion is worth hundreds of yours because of some artificially constructed boundaries that were set in place hundreds of years ago. My notability is unquestionable!"
What is Art?
Of course, Sir Stothard doesn't mean to exclude millions of people and their thoughts. He sees merit in blogging, and he definitely sees merit in reading. Sir Stothard and other old school critics see criticism as an art.
It's something that you have to "learn," not something have an innate ability to do with any success. The same old school critics wouldn't necessarily consider every work of "literature" to be a work of "art," either, so it's necessary to define art, at least for the purposes of this piece.
Art, I would argue, is any piece of work created by a human that makes a connection with another human. Art is created for the purpose of connection, and that bond can be formed by an ideal, thought, belief or just a strong sense of aesthetics. The person viewing or reading the work doesn't even have to get the intended message from it, so long as they feel connected to that piece.
Art, therefore, can exist as a building, a painting, a digital vector image, a hand-made instrument, a song, a book or a blog post. The beauty of art is that neither I nor someone with an Oxford education gets to define it.
Therefore, if a blogger is writing a piece of criticism that connects with another person, there is inherent good within that work. Sir Stothard might not agree with it, and I might not agree with it, but it's making a valuable connection with someone.
Sir Stothard goes on to say, "Eventually [blogging as literary criticism] will be to the detriment of literature. It will be bad for readers; as much as one would like to think that many bloggers opinions are as good as others. It just ain't so. People will be encouraged to buy and read books that are no good, the good will be overwhelmed, and we'll be worse off. There are some important issues here."
There are some important issues here. Is what's good for Sir Stothard what's good for me? Is his opinion, in fact, the healthiest opinion I can digest? Sir Stothard believes his job is to tell me what to think about a book. In his mind, he is an expert and his claims are indisputable because he has, no doubt, read more books than I have.
Old school critics, in their own minds, know what's best for literature because they've read more books. And, consequently, anyone who disagrees with their opinion or sees artistic merit somewhere the critic does not is hurting literature. It's true that the average blogger does not have Sir Stothard's eye for literature, but that's just fine—that blogger has his own eye for literature, which is equally valid.
Speaking my Language
Before 50 years ago, it was difficult to find print criticism of more than a few specific literary works. The books reviewed in The Times might have been something of value to the critic, but they might not have contained anything that would resonate with the common person, much less a person included in any given niche audience.
When NPR, or Sir Stothard himself, reviews the new Michael Chabon book, people take note. People buy it. The problem with those big critics acting as the be-all-end-all book review, however, is that they don't catch the subtleties that a regular-person blog owner catches.
When Chabon makes a finely-crafted homage to Jack Kirby, Sir Stothard might not catch it and an ordinary, "untrained" blogger might write a paragraph about it. Guess what? That's the paragraph that lets me, as an individual, know that particular Chabon book is something I'm interested in. Old world, big publication critics cannot function as the only deciding factor in today's literary world. Anyone, no matter how humble or "unseemly," can make an important contribution.
Blogging as literary criticism is great because it lets a real reader know a real person's opinion on a work of literature. Or an album. Or a movie. For example, Pitchfork didn't even bother to review the new Propagandhi album. It was "beneath them."
Thank goodness, then, for a site like Lambgoat, which happily reviews it. That writer from Lambgoat probably has a closer outlook on life and art to my own than a writer for Pitchfork—both outlooks are equally valid, but one is much more valuable to me.
There are all kinds of people who find artistic merit in all manners of different work. Sir Stothard has undeniably good taste, but it's very different than my own taste—which I, of course, consider good and equal to his. The beauty of blogging as criticism is that ordinary people connect much better with other ordinary people than elite, "classically trained" critics do.
It's no longer purely the realm of the elite and it's no longer a benevolent dictatorship. The field is level because of the internet, and it's extremely valuable to read criticism from someone whose background and ideals closely match your own. There's a lot of art to sift through, and now we have valuable opinions that come from our peers and not from stuffy critics.
I can read a review that I don't need to take with a grain of salt, and that's an amazing thing.
Making a Contribution
I think Sir Stothard makes an excellent point, which also reinforces my point, when he says, "Yet, if the English novel does nothing to renew the English language, then it really doesn't do anything. The great works of art have to renew the language in which they're written. They have to offer a degree of resistance."
Literary blogging is contributing to the English language, and the works it critiques are contributing to the English language. Smaller, more underground works are no longer ignored and marginalized. It's because of these blogger-critics that the English language is being renewed.
Bloggers offer the ultimate resistance. Often, the language is going in a direction that the old guard doesn't endorse, but that's not the point. Anyone who's taken a basic linguistics class knows that a language evolves organically, traditionalists be damned.
Bloggers are constantly challenging the established order and rebuilding the language. It's not always pretty, but it is necessary for the sake of art, criticism and language as a whole. No one man, knighted and Oxford educated or not, can steer the direction of language. And, in that way, that makes the evolution of a language the most democratic process of all.
Times are changing quickly, and I admit that it must be difficult for a classical critic to consider an ordinary blogger his peer and equal. Even relatively uneducated bloggers are contributing to art and literature by starting discussions, by engaging readers and by supporting those industries in the first place.
Art, literature and criticism are moving in bold directions and headed to different places. They're evolving. Instead of "doing harm" to literature, blogger-critics are just embracing necessary changes and strengthening the popular voice.
The king is dead, long live the king.

Chris Lau, Kapitall For the week of February 25 2013, Jim Cramer mentioned 63 companies, of which 79.4% were bullish call. The bullish sentiment comes at a time when the equal-weighted Nasdaq 100 (QQQE) is up 9.93% for the year-to-date, while the S&P 500 index (SPY) is up 6.81%.
In the technology sector, 5 of the 8 calls were companies mentioned were favorable.
Groupon (GRPN),
Hewlett-Packard (HPQ), and
EMC Corp. (EMC) were companies implied as a sell:
Using Kapitall's number cruncher tool to vet out notable calls, investors may analyze the above companies more closely. The analysis is below.
Analysis Using Kapitall Tools- Apple, Inc. Salesforce.com, and Amazon.com One company whose financial numbers do not tell the full story of the company is Apple (AAPL). Apple is the most widely-watched company, but shares cannot catch a break ever since peaking at $700 in September, 2012. More irrational is that Apple's Price of Profit (or "POP" as it is known on Kapitall) is just 9. By comparison, Salesforce.com (CRM) has a forward P/E of 93 and Amazon.com (AMZN) has a forward P/E of 73.61 (figures provided by finviz.com). Apple's valuation hints to investors that the sentiment turned negative on the company. The market is frustrated with the excessively low valuation. In the hedge fund space, this was apparent because Einhorn's lawsuit against Apple to issue preferred shares was successful. Einhorn dropped the suit after Apple eventually unbundled a proposal that would have complicated this preference share possibility. Second, media continues to speculate about new products from Apple, despite the recently successful release of iPhone 5. The rumors include iTV, am iPad Mini, and an iPhone 5S.

LOS ANGELES - Disneyland remains the most popular Southern California theme-park attraction, drawing 16.1 million guests in 2011, according to the Themed Entertainment Association. But visitors to the Southland have several non-Disney options.
In May, Universal Studios Hollywood opened a new Transformers ride, and Knott's Berry Farm continues to blend a mix of old and new attractions.
Transformers at Universal
It's tough to describe Universal's entertaining new Transformers: The Ride 3-D attraction because it is a motion simulator that also moves. Imagine the 3-D projection of a Star Tours-like flight simulator but in a vehicle on a track like the Indiana Jones ride at Disneyland (or the Dinosaur ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom in Florida).
Vehicles follow a 2,000-foot track to 14 different scenes that blend practical props in the foreground with a 3-D movie on 60-foot-tall screens. Basically, this ride puts you in a "Transformers" movie, which was the goal of ride designers, including show producer Chick Russell.
"Most other rides feel like you're riding while looking at other things happening," he said. "With this you feel as if you're in the action itself and being affected by it."
After snaking through a queue, visitors encounter ride attendants dressed in military garb who hand out 3-D glasses (aka "protective battle eyewear") while barking orders: "Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!" they shout as they hustle guests into ride vehicles.
There's all sorts of backstory during the wait to ride, but it basically boils down to this: Riders travel in a Transformer named EVAC -- a 12-person combat vehicle -- and have to keep the All-Spark device away from evil Decepticon leader Megatron.
During the ride there are encounters with popular Autobot Bumblebee and revered leader Optimus Prime, voiced by actor Peter Cullen, who also supplied the voice for the character in the 1980s cartoons and the more recent Michael Bay movies.
Mercifully, Transformers: The Ride 3-D does not suffer from the same acute visual blur featured in the "Transformers" films, so it's easier to follow what's going on, including a battle between Optimus Prime and Megatron and a wild ride through an empty office building. Along the way there are water, wind, heat and smoke effects.
"It's a flight simulator on wheels that enables you to be completely enveloped in the 'Transformers' world, and by adding visual special effects you're not only inside this world but you can actually feel when a warhead comes at your head and you feel the heat above you," Russell said. "The real magic of this attraction is we were able to blend dimensional sets with media onscreen so you cannot tell the difference. There's a helicopter set piece that matches a similar piece in the media. It's done in such a way with lighting you cannot tell the difference. When guests get on this ride they feel truly enveloped in the 'Transformers' world; like you're physically interacting with them."

Back in time at Knott's
If you plan to visit Knott's Berry Farm, a 20-minute drive from Disneyland, by all means, go there before visiting the Disney parks. Otherwise, Knott's looks like a sad ugly stepsister of a park by comparison.
But Knott's is the place to go if teenagers complain they've outgrown Disney. While Disney's rides appeal to a large swath of family members (from Junior to Grandma), Knott's thrill rides are more extreme.
Owned by Cedar Fair Parks, Knott's boasts nine coasters and five additional thrill rides.
WindSeeker, added last year, is similar to carnival swing rides of old, only on a much grander scale. Instead of swinging riders 30 feet off the ground, WindSeeker suspends them from a 301-foot tower. (The same ride was installed at Cedar Fair's Kings Island, northeast of Cincinnati, and Canada's Wonderland, northwest of Toronto.)
What distinguishes Knott's from other Cedar Fair properties is its attempt to adhere to its roots -- portions of the park first opened in 1940, 15 years before Disneyland -- while also catering to today's youth with bigger, faster, wilder rides. An Old West town exists alongside a Pony Express roller coaster; a stagecoach ride winds through the park beneath multiple coasters.
Visitors can pan for gold or circle the park on a historic steam engine, built in 1881, that's celebrating its 60th anniversary at the park this year. During a trip on the Calico Railroad in June, costumed "robbers" staged a holdup on the train.
"Who's got some money?" one cowboy robber said while holding a gun to a child's stuffed toy. (The child did not seem to be enjoying the experience.) One can't imagine cast members engaging in this kind of a lapse in judgment at Disneyland.
A one-man stage show called "Mystery Lodge" features a performer wearing a sad, ill-fitting mask to appear like an elderly Native American storyteller.
"No running please," said a Mystery Lodge attendant. "This is not a Walmart."
But Knott's does feel like the Walmart of theme parks, a run-of-the-mill place with lots of teenagers and without the Disney niceties -- not much shade and no signs at ride entrances offering an estimated wait time.
To complete the Walmart vibe, the park greets visitors with a sad marketplace selling Knott's Berry Farm preserves and lots of cheap tchotchkes, the type you'd find at Aunt Sally's Roadside Truck Stop gift shop. Most telling, one Knott's store sells Disney trinkets; you'd never find Knott's paraphernalia in a Disney gift shop.

The Federal Trade Commission's rules on identity theft, known as "Red Flags Rules," require financial institutions, utilities, and other creditors to set up programs aimed at preventing identity theft. Because of the definition of "creditor" in these rules, municipalities may be affected. Legal counsels have advised that until the FTC revises its guidance, local governments with municipal utilities should comply with the Identity Theft Prevention Program provisions of the "Red Flag Rules." The FTC began enforcement of the "Red Flags" rule on January 1, 2011. The Federal Credit Reporting Act was amended by the Red Flag Program Clarification Act of 2010 to clarify the applicability of identity theft guidelines to creditors, however, it did not clearly include or exclude specific types of entities, such as utilities. This page provides links to federal regulations, advice given to Washington local governments, sample documents, and information provided by state leagues and national organizations to their municipal clients.

Art form and technique, incorporating the use of pre-existing materials or objects attached as part of a two-dimensional surface. Despite occasional usage by earlier artists and wide informal use in popular art, collage is closely associated with 20th-century art, in which it has often served as a correlation with the pace and discontinuity of the modern world. In particular it often made use of the Objet Trouvé, while the principle of collage was extended into sculpture in the form of the Assemblage. The first deliberate and innovative use of collage in fine art came in two works by Picasso in the spring of 1912. In The Letter (untraced, see Daix and Rosselet, cat. no. 275) he pasted a real Italian postage stamp on to a depicted letter, while Still-life with Chair-caning (Paris, Mus. Picasso) included printed oil-cloth simulating a chair-caning pattern, the oval canvas surrounded by a 'frame' made of a continuous loop of rope. Picasso followed this by affixing a piece of gingerbread (untraced) to the lower part of Guitare: 'J'aime Eva' (artist's estate, see Daix and Rosselet, cat. no. 282) from the summer of 1912. His Cubist colleagues were meanwhile experimenting with adapting the technique for their own purposes. Juan Gris added fragments of a mirror, for example, to the Hand Basin (priv. col., see Cooper, p. 47), which he sent to the Salon de la Section d'Or in October 1912, where the first Cubist collages were publicly exhibited. At about the same time Georges Braque purchased imitation wood-grain paper, generally used for interior decoration, at a shop in Avignon. By combining this faux bois paper, affixed to a white sheet, with drawing, Braque created the papier collé ('pasted paper'), a specific form of collage, closer to traditional drawing than to painting, consisting essentially of a collage of paper elements with a paper support (e.g. Glass and Playing Cards, 1912; Los Angeles, CA, Co. Mus. A.). Braque and then Picasso made many papiers collés in the last three months of 1912 and in early 1913, with Picasso often using cuttings from the newspaper Le Journal to introduce the possibility of allusion to everyday events in the very fabric of the work, whereas Braque tended to restrict himself to the more abstract wood-grain papers, carefully arranged for formal effect. Picasso also developed the idea of collage into three-dimensional work with the first assemblages, such as the cardboard Guitar (1912; New York, MOMA).
In 1914 collages were produced with more complex materials by Picasso, Braque and especially Gris, who imitated the effects of painting in dense networks of dozens of cut and pasted papers. The technique was also adopted by such Italian artists as Umberto Boccioni, Carlo Carrà, Gino Severini and Ardengo Soffici, and by Kazimir Malevich, who affixed new materials such as a thermometer, for example, in Soldier of the First Division (1914; New York, MOMA). Carrà, working with the Futurist poet Filippo Marinetti, developed the hybrid dipinto parolibero ('free-word painting') to describe their word-poems in collage. Much of this spirit of experimentation did not, however, survive the first year of World War I, and subsequently these artists rarely, if ever, used collage. The Dadaists, however, adapted it to their own ends. Hans Arp produced abstract collages such as Untitled (1915; Berne, Kstmus.), and Kurt Schwitters used the form extensively ( for example that includes cut-out fashion illustrations), notably in his series of Merzpictures (Merzbilder), made from discarded materials found in the streets of Hannover. Other artists associated with the Berlin Dada group used photographs and newspaper cuttings in a political, satirical and socially critical fashion (see also Photomontage). Max Ernst also began experimenting with collage and developed the 'collage–novel', pasting paper on old engravings of narrative scenes to create the visual, dream-like 'text' of La Femme 100 Têtes (1929), for example. Another important Surrealist collagist, especially in the late 1920s and 1930s, was Joan Miró (e.g. Painting–Collage, 1934; Philadelphia, PA, Mus. A.), while at the same time abstract collage was further developed by El Lissitzky and other Constructivists. More recently the possibilities of fantasy and disjunction on one hand (in the work of Joseph Cornell, for example) and a recurrent interest in material texture and shape on the other (in the work of Ann Ryan (1899–1954) and Jean Dubuffet) continued to attract the attention of 20th-century artists. In the USA Robert Motherwell used collage extensively in the 1940s and 1950s, while Lee Krasner produced important collages by cutting up and reusing her paintings and drawings. In Europe in the 1950s Raymond Hains and other artists associated with Nouveau Réalisme, such as François Dufrêne (b 1930) and Mimmo Rotella, experimented with Décollage, a process of stripping away layers of glued paper. In the 1960s Robert Rauschenberg and many artists associated with Pop art also used collage extensively to reflect the omnipresence of the printed word and image in modern society, as well as Richard Hamilton, who continued to apply paper and objets trouvés in his works. In the decorative arts the influence of collage was reflected in embroidery. Although pure sticking techniques only replaced stitching briefly during the 1960s, embroiderers continued to produce combinations of fabric, paper and other materials.

Elphinstone Secondary School is celebrating another North Shore championship after the bantam boys beat Hands-worth 44-33 on Feb. 13 in Gibsons.
The Cougars went undefeated with an 8-0 record in league play and two playoff wins. They lost a few games to Kitsilano and Langley, both higher ranked teams, but overall head coach Peter Beyser said he was very pleased with the whole season.
"It was a good year. I really enjoyed all the characters on the team," said Beyser. "In the end we had 14 guys who were really dedicated and committed. We had probably 25 practices and drop-ins early in the year, so the boys worked really hard all year long and it paid off."
The championship game was a lot closer than the final score indicated, with the Royals giving the Cougars all they could handle.
"At one point the lead was only two," Beyser said. "There was a good vibe in the gym - a lot of parents and students, and Handsworth had a lot of parents on hand, so that made it exciting."
Elphi has had a nice run of success lately at the boys' level with the juvenile and junior boys now competing at the senior level, and now this group of players who will hopefully continue to grow as a unit.
"I think every year the success happens for different reasons," Beyser said. "The senior boys have been together since elementary school and they have some dedicated players, coaches and parents there. I think for the group we had this year, there was just a lot of good, natural athletes. They haven't had a lot of basketball experience, and they were a green group, but again good athletes, and I think they have a bright future if they stay together."
Senior boys
The Cougars are still alive in the North Shore playoffs and have a shot at the league title.
On Wednesday night, a clutch three-pointer from Wei Lau sealed a 73-69 win over Howe Sound to advance the Cougars to the championship final Thursday night (past Coast Reporter's deadline) against Collingwood.
Because the playoffs are a double-knockout, Elphi needs to beat Collingwood twice with another game slated for this Friday night if Elphi won Thursday.
Elphi started strong last week, playing possibly its two best games of the year in dismantling Windsor 59-44 on Feb. 14 and Howe Sound 86-48 on Feb. 15.
On Monday, Elphi lost 74-56 to Collingwood, sending Colling-wood to the final and setting up the must-win game against Howe Sound.

Editor's review
Come enjoy Wroclaw's very first golf fields. Whether you're an amateur or a pro, you'll certainly enjoy your time spent out here. It's only a nine hole course; though you shouldn't let that stop you from visiting - just play twice! There's a mini-golf course for the kids and everyone can practice their game on the driving range, chipping area and putting green. For those that like variety, a few tennis courts are on hand to help you burn off that excess energy. Finally, when you're sufficiently played-out, stop by the clubhouse for a drink or a snack. Beautiful course - worth a visit.

Did I see you on a private server last night Hale?

Did I see you on a private server last night Hale?
No I wasn't online at all last night, had to rebuild my PC and then had a powercut
Now that's so weird.. a password protected server (Called Halestorm's Private Server), with 2 users, Halestorm and Slim..
Thought I was missing out :-)
Not guilty, I have been thinking about setting up a server with random spawn gear from a set, e.g you might spawn with a pistol and ammo but no bandages, or no weapon but stuff to build a fire
Seems to be quietening down on the DayZ front. Other people just playing other games at the moment I guess?
Found an awesome Scaro Lingor 2.0 server yesterday with a high population and vehicle count. Had some great battles on there yesterday! :D
I've been playing on a DayZ Chernarus server with extra vehicle spawns which is medium populated, it gets a bit glitchy sometimes when there has been alot of fighting in Cherno/Elecktro...which sometimes is useful as I found a military site and the zombies didnt spawn
Easy M107 sniper rifle, ammo, alice pack and some other bits and pieces
Been playing on various server, think I was on the 2.0 server you had just dropped out of yesterday (and today)
Think its a case of finding a server we all are okay with.
I found a server that randomises spawn gear occasionally and you get some good starter stuff...i spawned with a silenced M9 and a AK47 with red dot...and I spawned about 100meters away from a working little bird
Which server was that Hale?
The server address is 184.108.40.206:3034
I was talking to the admin (Fion "The Beast") and he said he uses a random spawn script so you could spawn with anything, but you will always get at least 1 weapon, some food, drink, bandages and random tools
There are a ton of vehicles as well, especially on the coast, including working choppers etc
DayZ Mod Released on Steam :P
News - Now Available on Steam - DayZ Mod for Arma II

Just wanted to vent about the horrible service I've gotten with this company.
I placed a food package order as a treat for my sweetie on the 10th. As of today, they still have not shipped my order. Grrrrrr! I was hoping it would at least be shipped by his birthday (the 18th) although I didn't expect him to get it on time for his birthday since it takes them so long to deliver it once it reaches the facility. I just don't know what the issue is. They can't be out of stock on the stuff I ordered (well they might be now) because it all showed available on the website. Do they wait until they have a certain quantity of goods before they ship it?
Has anyone else had this problem? Any information on somewhere to contact and complain about the lousy service would be helpful. Even if it doesn't fix the issue now, if they got enough complaints on file, maybe it would change things later. Hopeful thinking I know but without hope, life sucks.
