Welcome to TOVAS, a member of the Giovanni (GES-DISC Interactive Online Visualization ANd aNalysis Infrastructure) family, which provides users with an easy-to-use, Web-based interface for the visualization and analysis of global precipitation data.
1) The way to obtain a map for precipitation accumulated over a period has been changed in the new TOVAS. To obtain such map, select "accumulated_precipitation" from the parameter list and "Lat-Lon map, Time-accumulated" from "Select Visualization."
2) The "Lat-Lon map, Time accumulated" service is intended only for this parameter, "accumulated precipitation" or the like. Using it for other parameters may not make physical sense.
3) New output formats: HDF, NetCDF, ASCII, and Google Earth KMZ.
(*See Below for TMPA Subset ASCII Service)
Giovanni-4 Now Available: New! Please try out Giovanni-4, the next generation of Giovanni, with dramatically improved performance and interactive plotting and mapping.
If you are interested in subsetting and converting to ASCII the TMPA data, we have developed a new service that allows you to accomplish this through a URL call. Below is a sample of a URL and the required inputs:
TIME=STARTTIME%2FENDTIME (please retain the same format of YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS)
FLAGS=Product_version,Plot type (plot type is 'Area' or 'Time', see next line for acceptable Product_version)

I loved Nancy's class. I felt like I learned so much about what colors look good on me. I really think this class is an amazing value.
This class was great! Nancy is the real deal. She's a true authority on image/personal branding/style, etc. She is knowledgable and an excellent communicator, as well as being an all around pleasant, helpful person. Take all of her classes!
PS - This sounds too good to be true, so I want to say that I'm not her friend, client, daughter, or mother. Just a grateful student :)
Really enjoyed this class! The group was small and Nancy had time to answer all of our questions. She teachers professionally and it shows with her ability to explain different concepts--we were all surprised when the two hours were up because it seemed to fly by. She provided so much great information and knowledge, along with personalized tips, that I can't wait to "take" with me when styling myself in the future.
Nancy is a pleasure to have as an educator! She is well-versed in her fields, and makes the lecture flow naturally. There was even time for questions, which I also value. I would definitely recommend her as a class educator.

The Flying Monkey weighs in on all those Jake Gyllenhaal and Glee rumors, whether oral sex is "safer sex," and if it's okay to "de-gay" a resume in a time of economic crisis!
Have a question about gay male entertainment or life? Contact me here (and be sure and include your city and state and/or country!)
Q: Why do people keep insisting that Jake Gyllenhaal is gay? Is it because of Brokeback Mountain? Certain blogs out there label actors as "gay" as if they were talking about their eye color, but isn't the goal to keep everyone out of everybody else's bedroom, actor or no actor? I never understood how people can't see that labeling someone as gay (who isn't) even if you're gay yourself is homophobic and harmful. Basically you're proving that there is something wrong with being gay by using it as a weapon. – Cassie, Austin, »

Get Your Own Half-Life Headcrab Weapon Tag In Blacklight Retribution
The Blacklight: Retribution developers have just announced the latest update for the award-winning MMOFPS title, Evacuation, is now live. The latest update introduces a massive selection of new content including additional weapons, a new character Lilith, premium servers and an increase in the level cap up to level 40. Even more exciting is the addition of the brand new Evacuation map that provides challenges for both new and veteran Blacklight: Retribution players.
"The visual theme for the new Evacuation level was inspired by the earlier scenes from the film I Am Legend," explains Zombie Studios Level Designer Rick Lesley. "We wanted to try to capture the feeling of the aftermath following a failed evacuation with cars all rammed into each other in panic, heading toward the helicopter and decontamination area."
Steam players can also login before November 4th to receive a limited edition Half-Life Headcrab weapon tag and those skilled enough to reach level 40 before November 30th will be treated with a Valve Armored Helmet.

Gregory CowlesThomas writes with marvelous panache, although I wish she indulged less in her earnest calls for homeopathy and animal rights. Amid all the novel's engaging questions about the nature of reality, it's hard to get worked up about a subplot that has Ariel traveling through time to save laboratory mice. Still, she spins Derrida and subatomic theory into a wholly enchanting alternate universe that should appeal to a wide popular audience, and that's something no deconstructionist or physicist has managed to do. Consider The End of Mr. Y an accomplished, impressive thought experiment for the 21st century.

Both the Los Alamos Hilltopper boys and girls basketball teams will have a shot at grabbing the reins in the District 2AAAA race, but they both have tall orders to fill in pulling it off.
Los Alamos' basketball teams will take on their counterparts from Española Valley this weekend. The girls game is scheduled for Saturday in the valley, while the boys game will be at what's almost guaranteed to be a packed Griffith Gymnasium Friday.
The Los Alamos Hilltopper girls swimming and diving team won three events on its way to a second-place finish at Wednesday's Albuquerque Academy Quadrangular.
Both the Hilltopper boys and girls teams traveled down to Academy Wednesday to take part in the mid-week meet. The Hilltopper boys finished third in the four-team meet, picking up 68 team points, while the Hilltopper girls finished with 87 team points.
Let's take a different look at the issue of global warming, or better stated, climate change. First a few observations:
It is undeniable that coal and oil deposits underground had locked up vast amounts of carbon, and to support human activities they are being brought up and burned in enormous quantities, thus releasing the carbon into the atmosphere.
For approximately 10 years, I have had a standing luncheon engagement at a popular restaurant in the Mari-Mac Shopping Center. I used to drive right up and park a half block or less away for a quick and convenient lunch. But over the years things have changed and my friends and I have a hard time finding a place anywhere near the restaurant row at Mari-Mac to park. The problem built up slowly.
The central political battle of our time is between the public sector, public sector unions in particular, and the private sector.
The battle is over "who defines the work and institutions that make a nation thrive and grow," in the elegant words of columnist Daniel Henninger of the Wall Street Journal. Easterners seem unhappy with the public sector dominance. Scott Brown's Senate victory in Massachusetts is the prime example.
New Mexico's public sector continues winning.
Rib dinner tonight
Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps will host a rib night from 5-8 p.m. tonight at the Posse Lodge. The menu includes pork ribs, corn on the cob, potato salad, baked beans, dessert and a drink. The fee is $10 and proceeds will benefit the NJROTC's activities.
Guitars and Gateaux
Los Alamos Arts Council's Guitars and Gateaux series will present The Albuquerque Honors Guitar Quartet at 7 p.m. tonight at Fuller Lodge. Music begins at 7:30 p.m. The cost is $10 for council members and $15 for non-members.
SANTA FE — A recent analysis of death and hospitalization data due to H1N1 in New Mexico found that children younger than age 5 have the highest rate of hospitalizations, and people age 50 to 64 have the highest death rate.
The New Mexico Department of Health's Epidemiology and Response Division analyzed data collected since April 2009.
The ballots for the all mail special election for the Los Alamos Public Schools and UNM-LA bond issues must be returned to the Clerk's Office before 7 p.m. Feb. 2, and that date is almost here.
As of mid-day Wednesday, 4,275 ballots had been returned to the County Clerk's Office, according to Chief Deputy Clerk Sheryl Nichols.
For reference purposes, she said 6,626 total votes were cast in the 2009 special school bond election.
A Los Alamos contingent mingled with state lawmakers and the who's who in New Mexico business during Monday's annual Legislative Reception at the Santa Fe Convention Center.
Business people and decision makers from across the state attended what Los Alamos Chamber of Commerce Member Services Coordinator Katy Korkos described as one of the most important and well attended networking events of the year.
County councilors paid heed to budget rumbling from the Legislature in Santa Fe. In a unanimous vote, the council passed a resolution Tuesday to oppose any attempt to reduce the county's share of the Gross Receipts Tax.
According to one scenario, the county could lose some $1,566,700 annually to the state and statewide local governments could lose an estimated $120,953,127.

Simple Hud V1Feb 5, 2015 HUDs 26 comments
MAKE SURE TO SET THE FOLLOWING OPTIONS: - Screen Size is set to 11. - Alternative HUD is set to OFF.
In development since 2010, the 18th Cacoward winner and Moddb 2012 MOTY Editors Choice of Creativity Award Brütal Doom takes Doom into a whole new level. It makes the game much more violent than before. There's much more blood, plus it adds unique gibs, death animations, dismemberments, headshots, executions, fire and explosion particles, flares, shadows over all objects, and much more.
The whole world becomes more real and interactive.You can kick severed limbs and heads (and sometimes, use it to activate some traps in the map earlier, or even kick them against enemies to do some damage), you can shoot enemies' heads to deal more damage (and cause more gruesome deaths) you can destroy most things in the the scenario (trees, lamps, hanging bodies, etc), you can paint the floor, the walls, and even the ceiling with blood, you can push the explosive barrels to make traps, or grab them and use like an explosive weapon, you can silently take down enemies from behind and perform stealth kills, the chainsaw actually cuts the enemies in two. When you find the berserk pack and get super strength, you can perform cinematic executions and RIP AND TEAR your foes with your bare hands. Some enemies will scream in anguish and try to crawl away when near death, and they can be used as human shields, and much, much more
Everything in Brutal Doom is extremely intense. Everything sounds louder, looks bigger, moves faster, and hits harder. You can even fell the impact of explosions. Enemies are harder and smarter, and weapons and explosions are loud as fuck. Your weapons have been upgraded to a deadly arsenal, completely throwing the vanilla Doom's "progressive weapon system" through the window. Every weapon is powerful and have it's pros and cons, and a weapon will never be outclassed when you find a new weapon.You have new abilities too. With any weapon selected, you can press Q (default bind) to kick enemies at close range and send them away. Press F (default bind) to taunt enemy players, and Z or X (default binds) to wave to other players in cooperative modes.
Brütal Doom will make the good an old Doom have a new and fresh look. It will give you a reason to play all the Ultimate Doom, Doom 2, and Final Doom levels again. This mod also works with almost every megawad and map pack around. Take a breath, and prepare to RIP AND TEAR HUGE GUTS!!!!!
Also Check the Official Facebook page: Facebook.com
And my Youtube Channel: Youtube.com
Before making any questions related to the mod, or problems to make it work, please read the FAQ.

Check out this new video showcasing the latest advancements on gameplay and gore effects, and also, the return of the shotgun's wooden grip.
This video is running a modified version of FreeDoom that will be featured on the "Starter Pack" when BDv20 gets released.
I have completed almost everything required to record the official trailer and decide the release date. Expect big news soon.
BDv20 is also going to be 100% compatible with wads that uses custom graphics such as FreeDoom and Back to Saturn X.

why the corpses are not shootable in v19?
sgt mark told me that it gets in the way of the monsters so he took it out, in his older ones I played ithad it in, I didn't have no problems with it. I don't see why he takes it out, it doesn't seem to gore if you can shoot the corpses.
if sgt dont care i will put this here, another version of brutal doom test
with the date of 10 06 2014
I'm fairly sure the reason he doesn't post these publicly is because the stability is more than likely questionable.
using Zandronum and Doomseeker, this game works way better than lousy GZDoom. use it on that instead.
What the hell are you talking about? How are you supposed to run the latest brutal doom (s) with a buggy engine that doesn't get p
updated much. GZDOOM fixes a lot of things Zandronum doesn't.
Are you serious, Zandronum is way better than GZDoom? Do you even know how to compare? Zandronum is basically a vastly older version of GZDoom (Before you ask, Zandronum is based of GZDoom) with multiplayer ease. GZDoom has more features, more bug fixes and many more new improvements.
Zandronum is seriously the LAST way you should think to play Brutal Doom, and other mods.
I ain't starting a war or anything
and before I say anything more, I like both GZDoom and Zandronum.
Zandronum (from what I have experiecened myself) is just an easier way to use Brutal DOOM...or the lazy man's way if you will.
But GZDoom makes modding/modder's life eaiser for, as you said, features, bug fixes etc etc.
I personally think it's down to preference to what you wanna use though. :)
I'd only use Zandronum for multiplayer, honestly..
Fair enough. :)
Highest Rated (110 agree) 10/10
Brütal Doom clearly deserves a 10, for several reasons: First, it has been developed almost single handedly by a goodwill individual, who clearly has shown the outmost dedication and perseverance through 2 years of continued development, besides from being always open-minded and patient, hearing suggestions and criticism and enduring ludicrous amounts of flame-wars on some of the forums where the project was being discussed. Such professionalism must be taken in note. Second: the level of compromise…
Jun 9 2012, 11:57am by Manny_F.
Lowest Rated (2 agree) 1/10
A god-awful one-shot gimmick. Overhyped and overpraised. Bother yourself with higher quality mods like DoomRLA, Russian Overkill, and more. Not worth any MOTY.

288 cell tray of Impatients -now what?
Someone gifted me with a 288 cell flat of impatient. What do I do next? Too small to go in the ground at this size
, right? I am in Denver. Too early to put out now. They are getting root bound. I am looking for a solution without
having to go out and buy 6 paks etc for the next step if something different can be done.
Thank you!
Can you get them into 6-8 oz cups for a few weeks until you can get them outside?
They really need to get into something bigger.
That would really help build their root system.
You could plant them outside that small after they are hardened off, but they would be much happier in a larger container for a few weeks.
What a great gift!
PS I LOVE DENVER I just got back from skiiing Loveland's Pass two days ago. 2 feet of fresh powder!! woo hoo
Got any strawberry jars? You know the kind with multi openings for strawberry plants. If so, start putting them in those. It's best done when the plants are little and believe me, they fill those holes and make a beautiful upright display, I do it every year in my shady areas that are too dry to grow anything.
Another favorite of mine is an impatient crate. If you can get a wooden crate with slats at least an inch, more is better, apart, line with garbage bags leaving top open for watering, fill with soil, cut slits in the plastic and insert plants in sides and then plant the top, again, best done while they are young. By the time they fill out you will have a mound of impatients. Plus it's easy to water, I just leave the hose on a slow drip for a few hours, once or twice a week depending on weather. Once you get the soil totally moist all the way through, it will stay that way for a long time.
Make a sack of heavy duty burlap or plastic, fill with dirt, cut slits, plant and hang from a tree. But put in an inch wide pvc pipe drilled with holes in the center for watering first.
Lay a large bag of potting soil on the ground and cut slits in it and plant.
Make an impatient tower. Take a large pvc pipe and drill inch wide holes in it. Take a smaller pipe and drill smaller hole. Put small pipe in center of large pipe and fill with dirt leaving the small pipe empty, that is your watering pipe, you fill it with water to make it drip out into the soil. The tower can be as big as your imagination and other plants can be added for extra interest.
Best idea yet, send about a hundred to me, I still have several strawberry jars and shade planters to fill, lol.

Kevin Salem, with Carolyn's Mother, Tuesday, April 4, at Herman's Hideaway, is the sort of performer who gets overlooked by everyone other than reviewers--and they overlook him most of the time, too. That's a pity, because Salem (onetime member of Boston's late, occasionally lamented Dumptruck and sideman for, among others, Freedy Johnston, Miracle Legion and Yo La Tengo) is that rare performer whose songs mean more simply because he delivers them so passionately. Soma City, his debut for the Roadrunner label, sneaks up on you: The material sounds commonplace just long enough for you to be pleasantly surprised when his words and melodies won't leave you alone. And, as Salem proved during his showcase at this year's South By Southwest music conference, he's pretty damn good live, too. Not that anyone other than a few reviewers bothered to notice.

Ship Design
Wärtsilä Acquires Vik-Sandvik

The reports coming in speak of a tsunami of popular enthusiasm for Imran Khan in Karachi. Over 2 lakh people turning up for his rally in Karachi. That is a major event. The PPP and ANP would feel insecure. No way can such a gigantic spectacle be choreographed. Clearly, the Pakistani people would like to look beyond the established parties.
Imran Khan's great leap forward
Equally, the decision by the PML(N) stalwart Javed Hashmi to cross over to IK dispels the vilification campaign that the latter is a creation of the military. JH's democratic credentials are impeccable and few can match them in Pakistani politics.
However, the best thing to happen would be if the present government completes its term and elections are held thereafter. That's how things happen in India — no matter the present government's drift and the question marks appearing about its residual mandate to rule till the next parliamentary elections become due in 2013.

Our most important concern is that they stop terrorism. Everything else is obviously secondary for us. It is not clear what will be the impact of democracy in Pakistan on terror. Some time ago, an article in an Indian newspaper claimed that Imran's face showed glee when he was informed about 26-11! Let us hope for the best.

Cartoon of the Day
Do you care about the level of violence in your kid's cartoons?
Principal cartoon characters are more than twice as likely to be killed off as their counterparts in films for adults released in the same year, reveals research from the University of Ottawa and University College London, published in the Christmas issue of The British Medical Journal.
The findings prompt the authors to describe children's cartoons as "rife with death and destruction," with content akin to the "rampant horrors" of popular films for adults given restrictive age ratings.
"Rather than being innocuous and gentler alternatives to typical horror or drama films, children's animated films are, in fact, hotbeds or murder and mayhem" say the study leaders Dr Ian Colman and Dr James Kirkbride…
On-screen death and violence can be particularly traumatic for young children, and the impact can be intense and long lasting. Because of this many parents will not let their children see the "endemic gore and carnage" typical of films aimed at adult audiences, say the Canadian and UK researchers.
In a bid to assess the amount of violence young children might be exposed to, they analysed the length of time it takes for key characters to die in the 45 top-grossing children's cartoons, released between 1937 (Snow White) and 2013 (Frozen), and rated either as suitable for a general audience (G) or with parental guidance suggested (PG).
They also looked at whether the first on-screen death was a murder or involved a main character's parent.
The study found that two thirds of the cartoons depicted the death of an important character compared with half of the adult films.
After taking account of total run-time and years since release, children's main cartoon characters were 2.5 times as likely to die as their counterparts in films for adults, and almost three times as likely to be murdered.
Yes, I know the automatic excuse of most "moral" censorship is that "we have to protect the children". I don't think these researchers are engaged so much in protecting children as trying to understand how we educate children.
I think it probably is useful to teach kids that a violent death isn't necessarily the solution of choice for life's problems. Even if one of those problem is Rumpelstiltskin.
U.N. torture watchdog urges crackdown on U.S. police brutality
The U.N. Committee against Torture urged the United States…to fully investigate and prosecute police brutality and shootings of unarmed black youth and ensure that taser weapons are used sparingly.
The panel's first review of the U.S. record on preventing torture since 2006 followed racially-tinged unrest in cities across the country this week sparked by a Ferguson, Missouri grand jury's decision not to charge a white police officer for the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager.
The committee decried "excruciating pain and prolonged suffering" for prisoners during "botched executions" as well as frequent rapes of inmates, shackling of pregnant women in some prisons and extensive use of solitary confinement.
Its findings cited deep concern about "numerous reports" of police brutality and excessive use of force against people from minority groups, immigrants, homosexuals and racial profiling.
The panel referred to the "frequent and recurrent police shootings or fatal pursuits of unarmed black individuals."
"We recommend that all instances of police brutality and excessive use of force by law enforcement officers are investigated promptly, effectively and impartially by an independent mechanism," said panel member Alessio Bruni…
"We have certain concerns about whether investigations are thoroughly completed and whether punishment of law enforcement (officers) when they have crossed the line are effectively put in place," committee member Jens Modvig told reporters.
Activists welcomed the findings and called for reforms.
"This report – along with the voices of Americans protesting around the country this week – is a wake-up call for police who think they can act with impunity," said Jamil Dakwar of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), who attended the review.
Of course, we could elect a solid Republican federal administration in 2016 to match the Koch Bros/Heritage Foundation anschluss of state legislatures. Then, police brutality would take place with an absolute guarantee of impunity.
The Confederacy could be recognized as a federalist partner of our government and the US National Guard would give partner status to Oathers and other crypto-fascist militias. Woo-hoo!
The New Yorker illustrates the racial divide in Ferguson, Missouri and the USA

Natural born killers – starting with chimpanzees – leading to us
"Chimp leader assassinated by gang of underlings," read the headline last year in New Scientist. It told the story of Pimu, who led his cohort of chimpanzees until a violent day in March last year when Pimu picked the wrong fight. Four chimpanzees appeared out of nowhere, according to New Scientist, and beat Pimu to death with their hands and feet. It was a grisly end for a species that, along with humans, are among the only animals to coordinate attacks on their own kind.
But such a murder was a natural action, according to a study published Wednesday in Nature. The paper, which analyzed data from 426 combined years of observation and 18 separate chimp sites, argues chimps are not driven to violence by their contacts with humans, which some scientists have previously contended. Chimps, rather, are natural born killers.
"Variation in killing rates was unrelated to measures of human impacts," said the paper, which was researched by an international team of 30 scientists. "… The adaptive strategies hypothesis views killing as an evolved tactic by which killers tend to increase their fitness through increased access to territory, food, mates and other benefits…"
The rate of killing…seems more dependent on how many males were in each band of chimps as well as population density. It's inter-community tension — not outer-community tension.
Just as chimps appear to reflect some humanity's better traits, they also reflect the bad…anthropologist Joan Silk wrote in an accompanying article.
"The behavior of non-human primates, particularly chimpanzees, are often distorted by ideology and anthropomorphism, which produce a predisposition to believe that morally desirable features, such as empathy and altruism, have deep evolutionary roots, whereas undesirable features, such as group-level violence and sexual coercion, do not," she wrote. "This reflects a naive form of biological determinism."
Steps in the evolutionary ladder are not as far apart as some would presume. That is, those members of human society whose understanding of life on this planet extends beyond the 14th Century.
The rest, sad to say, still rely on wee winged creatures sitting on either shoulder whispering in their ears.
Thanks, Mike

Man walks free of death row after 26 years in Louisiana pen
Glenn Ford – a long time ago
A man who spent nearly 26 years on death row in Louisiana walked free Tuesday, hours after a judge approved the state's motion to vacate the man's murder conviction in the 1983 killing of a jeweler.
Glenn Ford, 64, had been on death row since August 1988 in connection with the death of 56-year-old Isadore Rozeman, a Shreveport jeweler and watchmaker for whom Ford had done occasional yard work. Convicted of first-degree murder by an all-white jury, Ford, who is African-American, had always denied killing Rozeman.
Ford walked out the maximum security prison at Angola on Tuesday afternoon, said Pam Laborde, a spokeswoman for Louisiana's Department of Public Safety and Corrections.
Asked about his release, Ford told WAFB-TV, "It feels good; my mind is going in all kind of directions. It feels good."
Ford told the outlet he harbors some resentment at being wrongly jailed: "Yeah, cause I've been locked up almost 30 years for something I didn't do…I can't go back and do anything I should have been doing when I was 35, 38, 40, stuff like that," he added…
Gary Clements, one of Ford's lawyers, told Al Jazeera that the new information was a confession from another suspect in Rozeman's murder.
"We are very pleased to see Glenn Ford finally exonerated, and we are particularly grateful that the prosecution and the court moved ahead so decisively to set Mr. Ford free," read a statement from Clements and Aaron Novod, another attorney for Ford from the Capital Post Conviction Project of Louisiana.
They said Ford's trial had been "profoundly compromised by inexperienced counsel and by the unconstitutional suppression of evidence, including information from an informant." They also cited what they said was a suppressed police report related to the time of the crime and evidence involving the murder weapon.
I hope Mr. Ford lives long enough to sue the crap out of the state of Louisiana. They've been caught in corrupt and crooked incarceration enough times that they actually passed a law limiting compensation to innocent prisoners after their release to $25K for each year wrongfully imprisoned.
Anyone think that the Sportsman's Paradise will do anything about the sleazy coppers and prosecutors who railroaded Glenn Ford into prison?
I don't think so, either.
Memorials to emptiness, loss, massacre on the island of Utøya
Click to enlarge — KORO/Public Art Norway/Jonas Dahlberg Studio
A memorial for the victims of Norway's July 22 terror attack will see a slice of land removed from the Sørbråten headland
The terror attacks in Norway on July 22, 2011 that resulted in 77 people being killed left the country with a sense of abrupt loss. That feeling will be echoed in a memorial designed by artist Jonas Dahlberg, which will see a slice of land removed from the landscape at Sørbråten.
Dahlberg was selected by a panel as the winner of a contest to design memorials at the two sites of the terror attack, the Government Administration Complex in Oslo and Sørbråten, which is opposite Utøya on the mainland. His design will see a 3.5 meter wide excavation running from from one side of the headland at the Sørbråten site to the other, and extending below the waterline. It will appear as though the landscape simply stops and then restarts, and will make it impossible to reach the end of the headland…
…His suggestion for the Sørbråten site is to make a physical incision into the landscape, which can be seen as a symbolic wound. Part of the headland will be removed and visitors will not be able to touch the names of those killed, as these will be engraved into the wall on the other side of the slice out of nature. The void that is created evokes the sense of sudden loss combined with the long-term missing and remembrance of those who perished."
The earth removed from the excavation at Sørbråten will be transported to Oslo and used to build the foundation of the temporary and subsequent permanent memorials at the Government Administration Complex. The temporary memorial will feature the names of the victims inscribed along the side of a pathway linking the Grubbegata and the Deichmanske Library. The use of excavated land from Sørbråten will provide a poetic link between the two sites. An amphitheater will ultimately be built as the permanent memorial, with trees taken from Sørbråten and replanted as a means of maintaining the link between the memorial sites.
Mass killings and the fascist mindset aren't sufficiently memorialized. In general, Western culture would rather remember heroes and wars than criminal behavior still rationalized away by the Right Wing of most nations. Even the 9-11 memorials are treated as part of a "War" on Terror.
I wonder if politicians and their sycophants will ever stop treating society as a child's game?
Dispute over chess move ends with murder and cannibalism
An Italian man was arrested in Dublin on Sunday and charged with killing his Irish landlord and attempting to eat his heart after an argument about a game of chess.
Police said that 34-year-old Saverio Bellante admitted to killing Tom O'Gorman, 39.
O'Gormans body had been stabbed dozens of times and his chest cavity was opened up. Although the heart was still in his body, a lung was missing…
"The victim's heart was intact but the post-mortem confirms that a lung was removed from the body and has not been located," the source said. "The investigation is following a definite line of inquiry."
At his arraignment on Monday, Bellante requested to represent himself and offered no plea. According to Det. Patrick Traynor, when Bellante was charged with murder, he replied: "I am guilty."
The argument allegedly occurred over a move in a chess game that Bellante and O'Gorman had been playing for a year.
This blog and those involved with its production are all friendly to the discipline, skill and history of chess. At least one of us is damned good. It ain't me.
We all understand that things like this can happen. They also happen between people watching telenovellas. We don't approve of either circumstance allowed to descend into violence. :)
