* PETA sends Bebe a cease-and-desist letter over fur-free advertising. To be honest, I only understood half of what I just wrote. [Fashionista]
* Here are five reasons why editors hate lawyers. Of course, when the editors are lawyers, you just kind of end up hating yourself. [About Editing And Writing]
* Can someone explain to me how it's constitutional for Virginia to promise not to enforce laws? [Pilot]
* Did you enjoy the South Park episode that involved proprietary towel technology? Then you'll love this lawsuit! [Thomson Reuters News and Insight]
* I asked Professor Rick Hasen whether or not I should self immolate to prevent the GOP from legally rigging the next election, and he's telling me to chill out because it's gonna be okay. [Slate]
* I've been trying to find an excuse to link to this. It's a guy who is blogging about news from 1913 as if it was happening in real time, in this technological environment. Here, we look at some very swift Southern-style justice. [Retro Pundit]
* I must admit, I wanted to pull out my Leonardo DiCaprio coconut drinking goblet to fully enjoy this rich-white-man fight. [Dealbreaker]
* Belated congratulations to Elbert Lin, aka Mr. LEWW, on his appointment as solicitor general for West Virginia. [Bench Memos / National Review Online]

3 Big Student Loan Myths Demystified
When was the last time you took a second look at your student loans? If you're like most borrowers, you probably try hard not to think about them. After all, dwelling on your debt isn't going to make it go away any faster. Or is it?
Constitutional Law, Food, Football, Guns / Firearms, Kids, Military / Military Law, Non-Sequiturs, Politics, Sports, Women's Issues
* If you've been waiting for the definitive, Kashmir Hill, what in the hell is Catfishing article, here you go. [Not-So Private Parts / Forbes]
* Let me just say that societies that fully utilize the talents of women have an inherent advantage over the ones that don't. With one rules change, we now have twice as many potential combat soldiers. Glory. [Daily Beast]
* A "Good Samaritan" gun owner defended a little boy from pit bulls by shooting at the dogs who were mauling the little boy. Look, as a dad, can I just say that if you see some pit bulls attacking my son, please help… by running at the pit bulls and saying, "Git, git away from that boy," not by shooting a freaking hand cannon towards my child! [Cato @ Liberty / Cato Institute]
* Okay, who has standing to sue for a violation of the 27th Amendment? Who? I want this to happen. Come on, constitutional scholars. Make it happen. Let's see who really cares about "all" the amendments, not just the ones that allow people to shoot each other. [The Note / ABC News]
* I mean we're suing over sandwiches, aren't we? [Legal Blog Watch]
* Slow your roll, NAACP. I'm pretty sure that the 14th Amendment doesn't protect the rights of black people to become diabetic with oversized sugary drinks. [Gawker]
Bankruptcy, Biglaw, Education / Schools, Guns / Firearms, Kasowitz Benson, Non-Sequiturs, Pornography, Pro Se Litigants, Women's Issues
* Two guys, one gun, three wounded. Definitely what the Founders intended. [KENS 5]
* Here's the affirmance of the dismissal of Greg Berry's $77 million lawsuit against Kasowitz Benson. Fun times. [Appellate Division, First Department]
* Ex-girlfriends are uniting to go after a revenge porn site. If this stupid site ruins Section 230 for everybody, I'm going to be pissed. [Jezebel]
* Not that anybody should need the help, but here is another reason to hate lawyers. [She Negotiates / Forbes]
* Honestly, I kind of forgot Gitmo was still open. What with all the talk of having a progressive president, I kind of assumed that this would have been a promise he kept and stuff. [How Appealing]
* Speaking of things I've forgotten about, say hello to the 27th Amendment. [The Volokh Conspiracy]
* It looks like the world has forgotten about Atari. [Bloomberg Law]
Animal Law, Crime, Guns / Firearms, Law Schools, Non-Sequiturs, Sports, Texas
* A Charleston School of Law student leader was arrested for stalking. I'm not sure how else Charleston Law students are supposed to get jobs. [Fitsnews]
* I think this is a very poor reading of the history of the Second Amendment that is making the rounds. Sure, having weapons really helped slaveholders, but that's not "the reason" the Second Amendment was ratified. The founders had better reasons… reasons that have nothing at all to do with the time we live in, but that's a different story. [Truthout]
* By the way, you saw that Obama nominated a black lawyer for something, right? Since the Republicans in Congress are so concerned about Obama's record on diverse appointments, I'm sure Todd Jones will be confirmed super quickly. [Daily Beast]
* Should pet owners be allowed to recover for "sentimental value"? A Texas case might answer that question. I'm looking forward to the companion case in Arkansas where pet owners try to recover from loss of consortium. [Adjunct Law Prof Blog]
* I'd be shocked if this Manti Te'o thing doesn't end up with somebody suing someone for something. [New York Daily News]
* There's going to be a law and robots conference at Stanford in April. Because we all know how much robots love law. [The Volokh Conspiracy]
Ann Althouse, Football, Guns / Firearms, Hotties, Law School Deans, Non-Sequiturs, Paralegals, Pregnancy / Paternity, Suicide
* Not a Victoria's Secret angel's fantasy: being sued for $3.3 million. [Fashionista]
* Should a widow be able to extract sperm from the body of her husband, who recently committed suicide, so she can have a child with him? Some thoughts from Professor Glenn Cohen of Harvard Law. [Bill of Health]
* Speaking of suicide, controversy over the prosecution of the late Aaron Swartz rages on. [How Appealing and Instapundit]
* Professor Ann Althouse isn't a fan of the "if we can save one life" argument for gun control. [Althouse]
* I don't know anything about football, but even I chuckled at this. [Life in Biglaw]
* 'Tis the season… for replacing law school deans. Congratulations to Michael Hunter Schwartz, the new dean at Arkansas – Little Rock. [Faculty Lounge]
After the jump, Elie challenges Mike Bloomberg to make him skinny….
Elie also discusses the hot issue of the day, gun control, on HuffPost Live:
3rd Circuit, Andrew Cuomo, Basketball, Biglaw, Celebrities, Copyright, Crime, Guns / Firearms, Law Professors, Law Schools, Morning Docket, Rap, Sports, State Judges
* "It's very hard to copyright a story about an individual growing up in the ghetto and getting involved in crime." Go Third Circuit, it's your birthday, we gon' affirm that like it's your birthday. [New Jersey Law Journal (reg. req.)]
* I believe you have my stapler? A former Fried Frank staffer has been accused of stealing more than $376K worth of copy machine ink from the firm and selling it on the black market for office supplies. [Am Law Daily]
* Governor Andrew Cuomo nominated Jenny Rivera, a CUNY School of Law professor, to fill a vacant New York Court of Appeals seat. If confirmed, she'll be the second Hispanic to sit on the court. [New York Law Journal]
* This'll please the gun nuts: Governor Cuomo's gun-control bill was passed by the legislature and signed into law, officially making New York the state with the toughest gun restrictions in the nation. [New York Times]
* And this right here is the lawsuit equivalent of half-court heave. A lawyer is suing the San Antonio Spurs because the team's coach sent all of its best players home to rest without the fans' prior knowledge. [ESPN]
Accounting / Accountants, Clarence Thomas, Gay Marriage, Guns / Firearms, Non-Sequiturs, Politics, Pregnancy / Paternity, SCOTUS, Securities and Exchange Commission, Supreme Court
* Wait, auditors agree that auditor letters are pretty much a waste of time, but they still want them anyway? As I learned in Civ: "The only thing that saves us from the bureaucracy is inefficiency." [Going Concern]
* Yes, the legal world is still buzzing because one of the nine most powerful people in America deigned to utter a few words in court. I hope Thomas appreciates that his obituary is going to prominently include references to his confirmation hearings and his well documented muteness. [ZombieLaw]
* This Die Hard director picked a bad day to try hard to stay out of jail. [The Hollywood Reporter]
* You know, there are laws against firing pregnant people. [Pregnant and Fired]
* Bottom line, I don't want to be on the side of praising SEC enforcement actions. [National Law Journal]
* I hope Obama is well armed, because the only thing that stops a politician in the pocket of the gun lobby are the people holding their votes to the heads of their Congressmen. [Blog Briefing Room / The Hill]
* Same-sex marriage should be legal because gay people should be allowed to save money too. [The Atlantic]
B for Beauty, Biglaw, Crime, Election Law, Federal Judges, Guns / Firearms, Hotties, Jeffrey Toobin, Law Firm Mergers, Law Schools, Money, Non-Sequiturs, Videos, YouTube
* "Without the formation of character, the rest is futile." An Article III judge's take on the law school crisis. [Simple Justice] * Because nobody likes sloppy seconds, the merger talks between Pillsbury Winthrop and Dickstein Shapiro are now off the table. [Thomson Reuters News & Insight] * David Tresch, an ex-Biglaw CIO, was indicted […]
Kinney is currently running an exclusive search for an Asia GC role at a well known tech start-up company, based in Shenzhen. This company has received significant recent praise for their new smart phone device in leading medial outlets, such as the New York Times, TIME, Mashable, Wired, Yahoo, and Forbes, among others.
Education / Schools, Election Law, Federal Government, Guns / Firearms, Minority Issues, Money, Non-Sequiturs, Police, Violence
* Wait, are we really going to have to debate the legal merits of this platinum coin thing? Really? Can't Congress just not hold the country hostage so we don't have to start messing around with crazy coins and the Fourteenth Amendment? Like, you don't have to start doing bats**t crazy Carrie Mathison things if you don't let terrorists take Nicholas Brody in the first place. [The Volokh Conspiracy]
* There was another school shooting today. It just makes you wonder if the terrible reign ushered in by Grand Theft Auto will ever end. At least, in this case, the teacher was armed to the teeth WITH WORDS to TALK DOWN the shooter. [Huffington Post]
* "Illegal" trades don't mean the same thing to bankers as they do to everybody else. Well, that's not true. Maybe the disconnect is more with the word "consequences." [Dealbreaker]
* Yeah, I'm going to go on and say that I'm not going to believe anything coming out of the Trayvon Martin police report. Just like I wasn't considering anything coming out of racist ass Mark Fuhrman. [Tampa Bay Times]
* There's a lot to lose if Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act gets struck down. [Slate]
* I suppose it's good that lawyers don't have "I'm going to do a half-assed job here" fees. [Underdog]
2nd Circuit, Andrew Cuomo, Arnold & Porter, Biglaw, Eric Holder, Evan Caminker, Guns / Firearms, Law School Deans, Law Schools, Morning Docket, Real Estate, Student Loans, Violence
* Eric Holder has agreed to serve once more as attorney general during President Barack Obama's second term, but he still plans to leave at some point — after all, he's no "Janet Reno of the Justice Department." [Blog of Legal Times]
* For those who care about Biglaw firms and the landlords who love them, fear not, because there's a whole lot of moving and shaking in terms of commercial real estate deals for Arnold & Porter, Goodwin Procter, and Sidley Austin. [Am Law Daily]
* Jacoby & Meyers scored at the Second Circuit, and the firm's legal attack on New York's ban on non-lawyer law firm ownership was reinstated. Soon Walmart will own a law firm with "Low Prices. Every day. On everything." [Bloomberg]
* Who'll be stepping in to fill Evan Caminker's $457,964 shoes as the next dean of Michigan Law? None other than Mark West, who'd like to improve financial aid and loan repayment programs. [National Law Journal]
* Gun nuts, commence your rioting… now. If passed, Governor Andrew Cuomo's sweeping gun-control proposal would make New York the state with the strictest gun laws in the country. [WSJ Law Blog (sub. req.)]
* Speaking of needless gun violence, by Friday, we'll know whether there's enough evidence to move forward with a trial for James Holmes, the accused shooter in the Aurora movie theater massacre. [New York Times]
Bankruptcy, Biglaw, California, Constitutional Law, Dewey & LeBoeuf, Disability Law, Federal Judges, Guns / Firearms, Law Schools, LSAT, Military / Military Law, Morning Docket, Shira Scheindlin
* What Dewey know about this failed firm's bankruptcy case? According to Judge Glenn's latest order, it seems like D&L's Chapter 11 plan is on track for confirmation in late February, unless there are objections, of course. [Am Law Daily (sub. req.)]
* The Law School Admission Council is suing California because the state's legislature banned the practice of alerting schools when applicants had extra time to complete the LSAT. How lovely that LSAC values the ability to discriminate. [National Law Journal]
* "It's not like we let anybody in the door. We don't." Apparently Cooley Law's new Florida campus has very stringent admissions standards. Oh really? What else is required, aside from a pulse? [Tampa Tribune]
* It's now too constitutionally risky for cops to get all frisky: a federal judge ordered that the NYPD cease its stock-and-frisk trespass stops without reasonable suspicion of actual trespass. [New York Law Journal]
* Tamara Brady, the lawyer for the accused shooter in the Aurora movie theater massacre, is setting the stage for her client's diminished capacity defense — because even the mentally ill can buy guns. [Bloomberg]
* Pfc. Bradley Manning of WikiLeaks infamy will receive a reduced sentence if he's convicted due to his illegal pretrial punishment, like being forced to sleep in the nude. A true hero! [Nation Now / Los Angeles Times]
Bankruptcy, Biglaw, Boutique Law Firms, Dewey & LeBoeuf, Federal Judges, Guns / Firearms, Job Searches, Law Schools, Morning Docket, Murder, Partner Issues, S.D.N.Y., Violence
* And here's the depressing fact of the day (well, at least the morning): the legal services sector added just enough jobs from December 2011 to December 2012 to represent a .7% increase. Gah, not even a full percentage point! [WSJ Law Blog (sub. req.)]
* A federal judge who never worked at a law firm for a single day in her life stepped down from the S.D.N.Y. to join Zuckerman Spaeder. She only wanted to "try something new," but she may be in for a little bit of a rude awakening. [DealBook / New York Times]
* Dewey know what the "fundamental problem" is with this failed firm's partner contribution plan? When even the bankruptcy judge overseeing the case is confused, you know you're in for a bumpy ride. [Am Law Daily]
* The suit against Albany Law over its allegedly misleading employment statistics was dismissed, but have faith, ye of little hope, because some cases are heading to discovery. [Thomson Reuters News & Insight]
* James Holmes, the man accused of murder in the Aurora movie theater massacre, will appear in court today for his first evidentiary hearing. Of course, none of that matters, because he'll just say he was insane. [CNN]
Bad Ideas, Christopher Christie, FCC, Guns / Firearms, Law Professors, Law School Deans, Law Schools, Non-Sequiturs, Police, Television, U.S. Attorneys Offices
* U.S. Attorneys are rising up, taking office, and conducting their business like hard-ass prosecutors. [Wall Street Journal]
* If only they had more guns at the police station, this might never have happened. [Fox News]
* Of course, out in Arizona, the state attorney general is pushing for an "armed posse" to patrol schools. Arizona: where bad ideas go to be fruitful and multiply. [NBC News]
* Would you give your kidney to your favorite law professor? I wouldn't, but I would consider taking the kidney of my least favorite law professor and giving it to, well, pretty much anybody else. [Wake Forest School of Law]
* "Aereokiller" has been ordered to stop killing TV networks. [Film On]
* Wait, we still have "longshoremen"? For real, not just as the backdrop for a season of the Wire? [Miami Herald]
* Should law deans be "disbarred"? I like how people have to spend all this time just trying to figure out how to get law deans to tell the truth. [Tax Prof Blog]
Andrew Cuomo, Biglaw, Constitutional Law, Guns / Firearms, Holland & Knight, Non-Sequiturs, State Judges, Technology
* I don't fully understand this story, but it involves the beautiful and deadly Zhang Ziyi and a SLAPP suit. [Techdirt]
* I'm interested in who Andrew Cuomo appoints to the New York Court of Appeals, just because I'm interested in how Cuomo picks judges. You know, just because 2016-2020 could be an interesting time when it comes to shifting the balance of power on the Supreme Court. [WiseLaw NY]
* A Holland & Knight partner is leaving to start teaching an "Indigent Defense" class at Georgetown. I'm not sure who is teaching the companion class: "Blood From A Rock: How To Get Fees Out Of Indigent Clients." [Legal Blog Watch]
* I swear I was absent the day they explained that the NRA is the fifth branch of government in civics class. [PrawfsBlawg]
* Mmm… negative liberty. [Josh Blackman's Blog]
* This seems like a good time to say that I watch This Week with George Stephanopoulos instead of Meet the Press. But I really think that DCPD has better things to do than investigate David Gregory's ammo clip prop. [Slate]
10th Circuit, Barack Obama, Cars, Confirmations, Federal Judges, Guns / Firearms, Health Care / Medicine, Kids, Masturbation, Morning Docket, Politics, Reader Polls, SCOTUS, Sonia Sotomayor, Supreme Court, Television, Travel / Vacation
* Justice Sonia Sotomayor just ruined Hobby Lobby's new year by refusing to block the Affordable Care Act's contraceptives mandate. All of the members of the company's legal team will have to scrapbook and crochet for hours to get over this loss. [Reuters]
* Harvard Law graduate Barack Obama is being feted as CNN's "Most Intriguing Person of 2012," but he's currently trailing in fourth place in the most important year-end poll of all: Above the Law's Lawyer of the Year competition. Get out there and vote! [CNN]
* Federal district court judges aren't being confirmed as quickly as they once were, and it's partly because our president isn't submitting nominees as quickly as those who came before him. [WSJ Law Blog (sub. req.)]
* But even if the president nominated judges more quickly, he'd continue to face harsh opposition from the NRA, which matters because the gun group has an entire party in its pocket. [Opinionator / New York Times]
* A legal problem and a journalism problem wrapped up in a little pretty bow: David Gregory of NBC's "Meet the Press" is being investigated for displaying an alleged 30-round magazine on the air. [Washington Post]
* One of New York's most prestigious private schools agreed to settle the sex abuse suit brought against it by former students. Simpson Thacher partner Phil Culhane must be doing a victory dance. [New York Daily News]
* You got a fast car, and now this case will pay all our bills. Toyota settled a class action suit over unintended acceleration, and it's touted as one of the largest product-liability settlements in history. [New York Times]
* Ay dios mio! You know that you're never going to enjoy another vacation when you catch a hotel employee spreading his seed all over your clothes. But what did you expect? It's Mexico. [Courthouse News Service]
Environment / Environmental Law, Guns / Firearms, Pets
Florida: I'm Tired of These Motherf**kin' Snakes In This Motherf**kin' State
Florida has a snake problem. And while Congressional Republicans are blocking legislative responses, Florida has an answer: Send in the Rednecks!
Guns / Firearms, Non-Sequiturs, Richard Epstein, Robert Bork
* John Kerry has been nominated to be the next Secretary of State. I expect a tough confirmation battle where Republicans openly question his courage and integrity under fire… oh, wait, I'm being told that Republicans were actually just lying to all of us in 2004 by slandering a war hero for political gain. [Yahoo! News]
* The best thing about the NRA's bizarre press conference was that I got to go on the Huffington Post and use the Konami code in a point. [HuffPost Live]
* Of course, if people could get high, there would be less gun violence. [The Volokh Conspiracy]
* And by the way, nobody plays Bulletstorm, Mortal Kombat and Slaughterhouse are decades old, and nobody has even heard of Kindergarten Killer, but it apparently involves a janitor who takes out a school. Grand Theft Auto is some good stuff though. It's so good, I'm going to go out and jack some cars, drive into a police cruiser, and then hide out until I lose my wanted level. [Kotaku]
* Richard Epstein on Robert Bork. [Ricochet via How Appealing]
* You know what's sad? The Mayan calendar was a scientific masterstroke that was turned into a punchline largely by people who are resistant to science. If you're looking for real end of the world scenarios, the truth is out there. [Science Blogs]

Avoid harmful chemicals by using Natural Weed Killer. Stop worrying about your children and pets playing in the yard because of pesticides.
Pesticides are harmful to people, animals and the environment. Using pesticides can actually kill soil organisms that contribute to a healthy lawn. If you have been using harsh chemicals to keep your lawn beautiful it can take a few years for the soil to recover.

"Wait a minute!" you may be thinking. Childbirth is scary with lots of drama and pain! How could it possibly be "smart" and "sexy"? That's just crazy, right?
Wrong. Let's look at some facts about a woman's body that enables her and for most women, to have a baby in the first place.
After a woman conceives through the old fashioned way (sex) or by Invetro fertilization (IVF), the embryo implants on the uterine wall and begins to grow. It is totally in the…

Experience Spring with some new items!
Welcome to our web site!Each piece is designed by handcrafting new and resalvaged materials from our shop in Maine. No two pieces will be exactly alike, giving each piece its own identity like the buyer's of our products. Although some designs seem more popular than others, we do not mass produce our product line so that we may give the artist free will at creativity.Most of our birdhouses will be distressed with nail holes, cracks and chipped paint finishes which all add to this old-timed look. Recycled lumber used on birdhouses make each one-of-a-kind. Please remember that when ordering a birdhouse each one is one-of-a-kind, so ordering cannot be done in multiples. We hope the creativity in each piece will bring you and others the pleasure that it brings us in making each birdhouse. Nesting birds love them. All Handmade in Maine.
If you have a photo of our birdhouse being occupied, please submit to our email: firstname.lastname@example.com , it will be featured on our Homepage!
Nesting Birds that use our birdhouses:Chickadee, Nuthatch, Tree swallow, Tufted titmouse, House wren, Downy woodpecker, Red-headed woodpecker, Eastern bluebird, House finch, these birds use birdhouses quite frequently and bird lovers get to enjoy them up close.

Very Good Compact Space Heater
By Roadwarrior
from Chicago, IL
About Me Homeowner
Follow me
This is the first space heater that I've owned and I was skeptical at first, since I didn't think such a small unit would work this efficiently. I've been using the EdenPURE for a few weeks and it works very well. It's compact and easy to move, so I can use it in my home office or in any room where I need additional heat. The thermostat/temp control is very convenient. You set the temp and the heat/fan is controlled automatically. The timer is good if you need to have the unit shutdown automatically.
A great, safe, space heater
By Popsicle fingers
from Chicago land area
I use this space heater in a bedroom converted to a home office. I'm set up under a window and it's gotten really chilly in here this winter. The EdenPure heater was just what I needed. It throws great heat right at my desk. This is the second one I got, however, since the fan seemed to lose it's power on the first one. Abt replaced with no problem so save your shipping container. I'd still buy another one if I had another smaller room to heat. There is a "quiet" button on the remote control which I put on as soon as my area is heated. It was simple to set up - No assembly required.

Mr. Berlusconi smiled and shook hands with lawyers as he entered the courthouse in Milan. Outside, dozens of his supporters organized a demonstration, with blue balloons saying "Silvio, resist!"
Italian Premier Silvio Berlusconi made a rare court appearance on Monday for his trial on a tax fraud charge.
Mr. Berlusconi smiled and shook hands with lawyers as he entered the courthouse in Milan. Outside, dozens of his supporters organized a demonstration, with blue balloons saying "Silvio, resist!"
Mr. Berlusconi denies the charge and has declared that he will appear in the Milan tribunal as frequently as duties allow to contest four active court cases against him.
"These charges are laughable, unfounded and demented," Mr. Berlusconi told reporters inside the courtroom. He called the charges "the invention of the public prosecutor."
Prosecutors say Mr. Berlusconi's Mediaset media empire purchased TV rights for U.S. movies through two offshore companies and falsely declared the costs to reduce its tax bill. Along with Mr. Berlusconi, 10 others are charged in the case, including Mediaset Chairman Fedele Confalonieri and movie producer Frank Agrama.
The premier attended a closed—door preliminary hearing on March 28 in another alleged tax fraud case also involving the purchase of TV rights to broadcast American films on his private network.
But he last showed up in open court for a trial eight years ago. He has been tried many times, mostly in relation to his business dealings. He has always either been acquitted or seen the statute of limitations expire.
Last week he skipped the opening of his separate trial in Milan for allegedly paying for sex with an underage prostitute and using his influence to cover it up. He has denied wrongdoing, saying politically—driven magistrates want to oust him from power. On Monday he called the charges in that case "totally without foundation."
Mr. Berlusconi dismissed the possibility of a conviction in any of the four cases he's facing, saying- "Not in your wildest dreams!"

A shambles.
I specifically checked that I could have dinner before making the booking and learned that the restaurant apparently has a good reputation locally.
When, on the day, I rang the number on their website I found that this number was not the hotel's but that of a nearby but quite separate chalet business. They gave me the correct number but when I rang it, I learned that the restaurant was closed. I did not take up the booking.

Lovely Stay, Minor NIggles
I stayed 9-11 September 2014 in one of the courtyard rooms with my dog.
Whilst I had a lovely time I did have some minor niggles - no Wi-Fi in the room and dogs not allowed in the public rooms contrary to the first website I had looked at and which made me pick the hotel which stated well behaved dogs were allowed everywhere except the restaurant. However, these things were more than made up for by the friendliness and helpfulness of all of the staff I came into contact with, particularly Jen who is a credit to the hotel. The couple of other issues I had and which I reported at the time were quickly and politely dealt with and I truly felt like a welcome guest. The hotel and grounds are lovely and only a very short walk into the town centre. I enjoyed my stay so much that I booked directly with the hotel prior to leaving for a further visit in May next year, but this time for slightly longer.

'Evidence', live in Japan, 1963. Thelonius Monk with the sublime skins of Frankie Dunlop
Via wojciechkucha
'The priestess and the slave' is a compelling and dramatic tale of a tumultuous period in ancient Greek history told from the perspective of two very different women: Harmonia, a household slave, and Thrasullas, a priestess of Delphic Apollo. Author, Jenny Blackford's eye for detail in characterisation, historical setting and political intrigue brings the characters and era to vivid life.
The story is set in the fifth century BC though Thrasulla's story precedes Harmonia's by several decades. Despite this separation in time there is a strong sense of continuity between the two.
Thrasulla, is an older woman whose life has encompassed the roles of daughter, wife, mother and later, pythia. Her narrative concerns the machinations of the mad Spartan King Klyomenes, a man with the 'eyes of a ravening wolf', and the duplicity of the senior priestess, Perialla, as they attempt to manipulate the role of the oracle to further Klyomenes' quest for power.
The story is told through the observations of Thrasulla, and her conversations with a fellow priestess.
Harmonia's story unfolds during the Great Plague of Athens which devastated the city from 430 BC in the wake of the Peloponnesian War. According to Thucydides, an historian of the period, up to a quarter of the Athenian army and a similar fraction of the civilian population perished. Harmonia's description of nursing the family whom she belongs to and her own twin sister through the ravages of the plague is harrowing and moving.
Blackford's eye for detail in characterisation, setting and political intrigue make the story a compelling one. Her decision to have both women past their child-rearing years, with a wealth of life experience to draw on an, and understanding of the relationships which are chosen and which are forced on characters, adds depth and credibility to the tale. Concentrating on the experiences of those marginalised in traditional accounts of the time also gives the tale freshness and energy. The characters of Thrasulla and Harmonia are portrayed as warm, intelligent and engaging. Blackford does not romanticise the era nor the institution of slavery, but through Harmonia, we get a nuanced glimpse into the politics of dependence and coercion of slave-owning society.
The womens' contrasting narratives, differing in perspective in time and social position, give a sense of the period and changes taking place in ancient Greece. The similarities and differences in the two characters are fascinating and enhance the listeners understanding of womens' roles and contribution to ancient society.
The audio book (on Audiophile), read by Hollie Jackson, is competent, clear and energetic though sometimes missing some subtlety in delivery which might have done more justice to characters who lived through such trying times.
Recommended for readers who enjoy a vivid account of a fascinating historical period, students and lovers of a well told tale.

The Man who melted by Jack Dann is a detailed and disturbing portrait of a future where societal destruction is not a result of weapons or other technologies but of a severe telepathic disturbance within its ranks. The Man who melted received a nomination for a Nebula Award for best novel.
Protagonist Raymond Mantle is trying to find out what happened to his lover, Josiane (also his sister) who is either dead or has disappeared into the telepathic void of the 'screamers'. Mantle is trapped in an emotional limbo: unable to grieve and let go of the past or to move forward with his life. The conflict sends him seeking out the 'dark places' in his own psyche before they consume him.
'Screamers' are the physical shells of human beings whose minds have been destroyed or absorbed into a conglomerate telepathic entity. In 22nd century society Screamers are seen and treated by most as dangerous and unpredictable conduits of violence and chaos. Whether the telepathy results from mutation or disease is unclear; whether it is an advantage or a dangerous deviation is explored as Mantle struggles to reconcile his past with Josiane with the future he faces.
Mantle's search for Josiane leads him to attend a ceremony of the The Christian Criers a cult who tap into the consciousness of dead screamers for enlightenment or simply a psychic thrill. But there is a danger that his quest might lead further from sanity and deeper into the chaos of the screamers' collective psychosis.
Dann's novel explores, as in previous works such as Bad Medicine, the frontiers of consciousness. Drawing on the theories of Julian Jaynes who, in his 1976 book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.
The Man who melted uses the idea of telepathic apocalypse to explore themes of love, grief, inter-connection, and redemption.
In Mantle the author has created a compelling and obsessive protagonist who struggles to deal with guilt, perhaps a result of his incestuous relationship with Josiane, or because of his conflicted emotions about his current love, Joan. Mantle's story untangles his relationship with 'frenemy' Carl Pfeiffer.
Dann's settings are believable and disturbing – the descriptions of post-Scream Naples with its decaying streets is reminiscent of Graham Greene's occupied Vienna in The Third Man creating an atmosphere of seediness, corruption and danger to underline the uncertainties of the post-Screamer world.
The Man who melted is an exploration of the threshold of the human mind told in thriller form and as compelling and disturbing as anything by Dick or Vonnegut. It raises timely questions about mass society's retreat from reality into the regressive certainties of fundamentalism, new age delusions and other irrationalities.
For readers and fans of Dann there is much to enjoy in this work: compelling ideas, as well as its focus on that strangest of frontiers: consciousness itself. For those new to this author's work it is an excellent introduction to one of modern science fictions' master storytellers.
Kevin T. Collins' narration captures Mantle's intensity and the complexity of Dann's crumbling 22nd century world while maintaining the momentum of the narrative.

Australia mourns as the nation's favourite liberal-baiter Andrew Bolt is reportedly 'close to death' after it was suggested he might be 'a bit racist' in an ABC radio interview.
Mr. Bolt was so traumatised by the comment that he was forced to take to bed where he barely managed to bang out 14 Twitter posts before news of his impending demise hit the blogoverse.
Supporters have blamed the ABC for Bolt's not-quite-but-almost-fatal collapse. "In such instances we like to blame the ABC. Hell! We blame the ABC for everything else why not blame them for Bolt too?" a Bolt insider commented.
Even with the Grim Reaper at his side, Mr. Bolt continues blogging heroically, warning his constituents about the dangers of refugees and public school education.
The ABC have issued an almost-apology for the slight inference in the quip about Bolt's somewhat-racist views.
The Murdoch family are said to be pressing for Mr. Bolts immediate almost-canonisation.

The picaresque novel (Spanish: "picaresca", from "pícaro", for "rogue" or "rascal") is a popular sub-genre of prose fiction which is usually satirical and depicts, in realistic and often humorous detail, the adventures of a roguish hero of low social class who lives by his wits in a corrupt society. (Wikipedia: picaresque novel)
The Empress of Mars by Kage Baker (2009) is a novel in the picaresque tradition which features, according to the Wikipwsia definition, " a roguish hero (sic) who lives by their wits in a corrupt society". Mary Griffith is clearly a character in the mould of literary heroines like Moll Flanders who 'make good' despite the lousy hand fate has dealt them.
As the proprietor of Mars' one and only bar 'The Empress of Mars' Mary needs all of the smarts at her disposal as she juggles the competing demands of motherhood – her three daughters are less than perfect children – running her bar and brewery – and making ends meet on a frontier world where the politics of settlers and The British Arian Company are only slightly less detrimental to survival than the planet's carbon dioxide atmosphere and freezing temperature.
Baker's Mary is an engaging character – the kind of person you might be lucky enough to meet in any frontier town. Kate brings with her the baggage of failed marriages, bad romances and unjust treatment by the bureaucrats and flunkies who populate company towns, or in this case, a company planet.
Mary is also a disbarred priestess of the Daughters of the Goddess, proving that the sisterhood are, if anything, as controlling as their counterparts in British Arean Company who sacked Mary when she worked as a xenobiologist designing lichen meant to aid in terraforming the planet. Made redundant, Mary survives by providing beverages and hospitality in her bar, The Empress of Mars, to the various trades, tribes and tricksters who have found a refuge on the Red Planet.
The novel put me in mind of all of the pioneer women whose hardships and contributions to building society are all too quickly forgotten or pushed aside in the rush to construct narratives of male heroism and daring. Baker's commitment to telling the pioneering female characters' side of the story is one of The Empress of Mars unique elements contributing much to its strong characterisation and plausible scenerio.
Mary's friends, family and shifting allies are as intriguing as she is. They fight the insanity of a for-profit world that really hasn't ever been profitable. Baker constructs a rough and ready pioneering society complete with its 'types': the company is brutal, indifferent and plausible in the way of mining companies and their ilk who, when given license to operate according to their own lights, will do as their lack of conscience dictates; the Haulers, who live dangerous lives doing the essential work of hauling ice from the polar ice-caps to furnish the colony's water supply; the opportunistic Celtic Clans and the smattering of dreamers and desperadoes who have immigrated to Mars to make their fortunes or hide from their crimes.
Baker's exploration of how science and society are derailed by short-term politics is timely theme – the halted terraforming project which may bear fruit for the future has been shelved because the company foresees no profits from the venture. Mary Garret's frustration at the corruption and negligence of the company is a comment on the short-term graft and grab of politicians intent only on securing financial advantage while short changing the majority.
The Empress of Mars is, however, an optimistic exploration of these themes. It reminds us that circumstances can change and that those who can outlast and outplay the power players and cynics long enough are in with a fighting chance when the pedulum swings the other way. And the situation on Mars does shift and Mary Griffith and her cohort of outcasts and rebels find themselves in a position to make improvements – if only they can hold their nerve.
The Empress of Mars is an impressive novel. Baker's ability to describe accurately and sympathetically the machinations of the various factions and characters is delightful. For me, her elaboration of the politics and dynamics of the new society is as interesting as the science and vision of the future underlying it.
The characters are an unpredictable lot – sometimes their own worst enemies – all too caught up in the perverse pursuit of their own short-sighted agendas yet trapped in a common plight.
A cast of idiosyncratic misfits make for a great reading: 'the Brick', Manco the mad artist who sculpts roses from his own blood, De Wit – Mary's righthand and barman, Cochevelou the canny clan leader, the exiled mystic 'the Heretic', all give colour and energy to the story of a society fighting to establish itself and to the story of the Mary Griffiths, the woman who is the heart and soul of the struggle for a better world.
Kage Baker died in 2010. It is a testimony to her storytelling prowess that her work continues to entertain and inspire her readers and other writers.

Somewhere… the screen fills with smoke, the camera shakes as the crew run to cover the action. Up ahead foul smoke smudges the sky. A man screams or cries. Its is an unforgettable sound, speaking what language sometimes fails to: of the deep well of pain violent acts leave behind like invisible bruises rippling through and past us.
Shreds of red cloth litter the narrow gap between the flaming vehicle and hard shoulder of the road. The camera zooms in and what looked like a pile of bloodied rag is revealed as a child, a woman, a man.Another missile shrieks over-head followed by another devastating impact. The news crew dive behind the twisted frame of a four-wheel drive. The ground shakes.
Somehow….something essential is missing. We are at a loss. |Pain and fury and billowing smoke present themselves as 'reality' or 'fact'; yet, a deeper reality is missing: the human one. While language might fail, or, at least , falter in the blunt brutality of the moment, we are in need of voices to articulate the suffering of our fractured interior landscape with its unseen bomb- craters, smouldering villagers, shredded high-rises, shreds of gut smeared on dusty roads.
While visual media gives an impression of immediacy but authenticity is missing. The part of our brain which deals well with what is seen – which spurs survival instincts – does not process the residues of terror, grief, or, anxiety which we need to for long-term survival. The me-first rush of adrenalin does not equip us for anything more. Deliberation, reflection are needed to enable complexity, relationship and cooperation. Visual content alone cannot.
Language is the base. It is the restorative enabling the comprehension and healing which the merely visual cannot.
Jude Cowan, poet and author of For the Messengers, gives us images in her poetry which, while sometime disturbing, inoculate us against the fearsome emptiness which devastating violence – war, genocides, brutal police actions – leaves behind.
Working as an archivist for Thomas Reuters news agency, Cowan viewed many hours of footage from war and disaster fronts. She says poetry was the form which helped her process what she witnessed.
Perhaps the only thing more hideous than the brutality and violence we are hammered with by the media is the insufferable silence that fills the wounds left behind. In making sense of the horrors witnessed in her job through poetry, with For the Messengers, Jude Cowan provides an antivenin to the toxic visuals of twenty-four hour news: a poetry which inspires connection and empathy in a landscape of ashes.

Strangely enough, beneath all of the executive screaming and the terrible main interface beats the heart of a brilliant game.
It boasts some very intelligent design concepts and the game was definitely well tested before it hit the stores. SC has an excellent replay value and anyone that likes theme park games should go out and buy it. It's well worth it.
If you're hoping for the detail-oriented world of "Roller Coaster Tycoon's" paint customizing schemes, park customer feedback, and realistic physics, you're not going to get it. But what you lose in realism you'll gain in charm and fun.
Beautiful graphics and great 3D perspectives make this game quite appealing to the eye. The emphasis on managing can get old too quickly.
I think it's fair to say that if you sit down and decide to play this game you will undoubtedly have a lot of fun.
A frenetic, eye-pleasing simulation of theme-park building. [Apr 2001, p.80]
If you're new to the PC Rollercoaster world, then SimCoaster is probably the easiest and most finely tuned game in the "genre".
It's a fun diversion and an enjoyable game in its own right, but ultimately the emphasis on objectives and challenges grows a bit annoying.
A significant improvement over "SimTheme Park," but yet with its schizophrenic emphasis on financial management and zany fun it still presents a less coherent and integrated experience than "RollerCoaster Tycoon." ... Nonetheless, I really do enjoy SimCoaster a lot.
Ridiculously long load times. Even with added structure, gameplay eventually goes stale.
Instead of letting you create a park and watch your guests enjoy it, the game makes you spend most of your time fretting about things like having to give a two-dollar raise to a guy in an animal suit.
When the night comes to a close and the vomit is all cleaned up, SimCoaster is simply not fun enough. The emphasis on micro-management and objective oriented gameplay really takes away from the overall enjoyment of designing and running an amusement park.
I'd say this is better than "Sim Theme Park," and worth getting, but if you've already got "Sim Theme Park," you'll probably wonder where the fresh meat is.
I enjoy playing SimCoaster, but after fighting its poor video performance and choppy sound for several hours, the game became more frustrating than fun. Underneath all the bugs there is a great game here, but Bullfrog sent it out to the stores way too early.
The final problem, though, is the game's absurdly easy nature. It takes no time at all to expand your park to crazy dimensions, and most of the challenges are quickly dispensed with.

Say it from the heart, say it with memes.
Hy husband and I have always been Cheezburger fans! We used, "Nom" as kind-of-secret, "I love you" for three years before our wedding day. The engraving on his ring was a secret (that is, he knew it was engraved just didn't know with what). As we were pronounced husband and wife, we left the alter, and he read the engraving. I thought he was going nuts, laughing hysterically down the aisle with me! He looked at me and said, "Nom." That's when I knew he had finally read it. Good thing he didn't r
A very meme-inspired proposal. I recently did an engagement session for this wonderful couple and this photo was a last minute idea we threw together.
Maybe you two weren't married by the File-Sharing Church, but I'm pretty sure the internet brought you closer together!
As a graduate student, I spend probably a little too much time procrastinating online. As a result, I'm relatively up-to-date on memes. Although my partner finds only a handful of the memes I share with him funny, the "X grab my Y" meme was one that always got a chuckle. So, a few weeks before our wedding I contacted one of the artists from the original drawing and asked her if she would be willing to do a reframe with us as the characters! Angie totally came through and I slipped a printout

Xu Zhen (Born 1977 Shanghai, China; Lives in Shanghai) As a prolific and controversial artist, Xu Zhen's conceptually-driven practice encompasses a vast range of media and often employs humour, irony and sophisticated trickery. For In Just a Blink of an Eye, 2005, presented in 13 Rooms, a breathing body floats mysteriously in mid-air, frozen in time and space as if defying the constraints of physics. The work engages with the materiality of the body, testing the limits of physical and cognitive possibilities as we try to comprehend what we see. – See more at: http://kaldorartprojects.org.au/13rooms/xu-zhen#sthash.gHiTDDm5.dpuf
Paul Grassino (Turin, 1967) lives and works in Turin, with his work offers a reflection on the drift of the current society, suspended on the ridge between the natural and the artificial, between instability and mutation. His work is mainly a search that retrieves the full sense of the manual: working with synthetic rubber, wood, wax and polystyrene, but also with more advanced techniques such as cast aluminum or cement casts, brings his sculptural works with a high degree of showmanship.

Kevin Cooley: In Controlled Burns, swirling and imposing clouds of smoke contend with one another in a physical battle between diametrically opposing explosions of black and white. From a structuralist point of view, this imagery serves as metaphor for binary opposition, e.g. good vs. evil or day vs. night, yet this is not the sole line of inquiry. Inspired by the smoke signals of the recent Papal conclave which uses smoke as form of basic communication, this series is apart of a larger artistic pratice focusing on human relationships to nature. Fire is a powerful natural force that we harness for greater good, and it is the only Classical element, that we can create on demand, yet when out of control it has the potential for grave destruction. Contolled burns, is a visual representation of an inherit duality in how we interact with nature, symbolizing our desire to conquere and control nature, reminding us that sometimes we must fight fire with fire.
" Though the subject of my work has no direct relation with the music my band creates, I believe it is born of the same crop and has the same underlying themes and drive. My work was a response to the difficulty of self identification in a post industrial Wales. It reflected the problem of self value and worth in a new non self sufficient country where every corner and horizon echoed the past yet every TV and computer pointed forward. The youth of my generation were born into the void left over in a post industrial country and patriotic pride was hard to come by. So even though my images were not relevant to the lyrical and musical content of the band, the core inspiration was, e.g. drive to achieve, stepping above and beyond, waking up to your own potential, and doing something with your life were all lostprophets anthem calls. To summarise, my work didn't directly or visually represent the underground hardcore metal scene of the day but it was born out of the same rebellion against complacency and apathy that was inbred being brought up in a very grey poor town." – Richard James Oliver
Garry Winogrand (14 January 1928, New York City – 19 March 1984, Tijuana, Mexico) was a street photographer known for his portrayal of the United States in the mid-20th century. John Szarkowski called him the central photographer of his generation. Winogrand was known for his portrayal of American life in the early 1960s. Many of his photographs depict the social issues of his time and in the role of media in shaping attitudes. Winogrand's photographs of the Bronx Zoo and the Coney Island Aquarium made up his first book The Animals (1969), a collection of pictures that observes the connections between humans and animals. His book Public Relations (1977) shows press conferences, protesters beaten by cops, and museum parties. In Stock Photographs (1980), Winogrand published his views of the Fort Worth Fat Stock Show and Rodeo. At the time of his death there was discovered about 2,500 rolls of undeveloped film, 6,500 rolls of developed but not proofed exposures, and contact sheets made from about 3,000 rolls. The Garry Winogrand Archive at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP) comprises over 20,000 fine and work prints, 20,000 contact sheets, 100,000 negatives and 30,500 35mm colour slides as well as a small group of Polaroid prints and several amateur motion picture films.

Senior Consultant II Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2+ months – interviewed at Hitachi Consulting.
The hiring process was very intense. I had 6 years of prior IT experience. My recuirter was constantly in touch with me during the entire process. I had to go through 3 technical interviews on the phone after an initial HR interview. Each interview had a time gap of 2 weeks and the interview happened only on fridays. All phone interviews were mostly technical based on my prior experience. The questions were based on real time scenarios. After I had cleared the 3 rounds of phone interview, they had asked me to come down for a face to face interview to their Atlanta office. All expenses were paid. I met a senior manager at their office who was available all day to help me. They also took me out for lunch with a vice president. I had another 4 interviews scheduled on the same day. Most of it was technical.
- Mostly questions were based on prior experience. They would read line by line of the resume and ask for what was the exact process we followed and what was my role. Most Difficult: If you had a chance to tell the product owner of a tool some suggestions on the tool - what would they be? Answer Question
