Deadly car bomb targets upscale Mogadishu hotel
Latest update : 2013-11-08
At least 11 people were killed on Friday after a car bomb targeted the upscale Maka al Mukarama hotel in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, police sources said. The blast went off at the gates of the hotel, which is popular with Somali politicians.
Around 11 people were killed Friday in a car bomb attack against a top hotel in Somalia's capital Mogadishu, police said.
Police and security forces immediately sealed off the area around the Maka al Mukarama hotel, situated along a busy Mogadishu street and popular with politicians and the elite.
"Some 11 people were killed and a dozen more injured," police official Anshur Nur told AFP close to the scene of the blast.
"I could see several burning cars, dead and injured people on the ground," he said.

Mogadishu is frequently targetted with suicide and car bombings carried out by Al-Qaeda-linked Shebab rebels, who are fighting to overthrow the country's internationally-backed government.
A Somali government official, who asked not to be named, said the attack bore all the hallmarks of Shebab, a group which still controls large parts of rural southern Somalia.
The powerful blast, which was heard across the city, occurred at the gates of the hotel, one of the most expensive in Mogadishu and run by Somalis from the diaspora.
The hotel has a restaurant and a coffee shop known to be popular with the local elite, notably government officials and businessmen, and local reports said the hotel was hosting several VIPs at the time of the blast.
Somalia's Prime Minister Abdi Farah Shirdon blamed "enemies of peace" for the attack.
"I condemn this attack in the strongest terms and send my condolences to the families and friends of all the innocent victims who were killed and wounded. Once again the enemies of peace show their true colours to the world," the prime minister said in a statement.
A look at the al-Shabaab militant group
"These cowardly acts of terrorism will not derail the progress made in Mogadishu and across Somalia. We -- the Somali people and the Somali government -- will stand shoulder to shoulder to defeat these killers. These terrorists will not defeat us but make us stronger."
The attack comes as the African Union force in Somalia (AMISOM) is asking the UN Security Council to boost its numbers by over a quarter to 22,000 as part of efforts to step up offensive operations against the Shebab.
The militants have frequently struck the heart of Mogadishu, and in September claimed responsibility for a massacre at the upmarket Westgate shopping centre in the Kenyan capital Nairobi that left at least 67 dead.
Shebab said it carried out the attack on the Westgate mall in retaliation for Kenya's military intervention in Somalia.
Last month officials said Shebab's top suicide bomb-maker was killed in a US army drone strike.
In early October US Navy SEALS struck the Shebab-held southern port of Barawe, but failed to kill or capture the top militant being targetted.

David Moyes laments Manchester United's "mental softness"; Meulensteen calls Red Devil tactics "quite straightforward"
Feb 9, 2014, 5:12 PM EDT
Throughout the first months of his tenure at Old Trafford, David Moyes espouses silver linings in the face of results like Sunday's. Though that was a source of frustration for some Manchester United fans, the new Red Devils' boss would still fall back on bad luck or 'outplaying opponents' while the defending champions struggled at home. Though the descriptions often prompted questions as to what Moyes was seeing, they also showed a level of loyalty to his players. At least he was protecting them in the press.
No such loyalties were present after today's match at Old Trafford, where a record 81 crosses where unable to get United more than a 2-2 result from a bunkered and resilient Fulham. Up 2-1 in the match's final moments, a mistake at the back cost the Red Devils two points, with Darren Bent's 94th minute goal seeing United drop points at home for the seventh time in 13 games.
[RECAP: Manchester United 2-2 Fulham: Darren Bent denies Old Trafford comeback as United continue to falter]
"Today was as bad as it gets," Moyes told reporters after the match, his team coming off a 1-0 loss last weekend at Stoke City. "How we didn't win, I have no idea. It's goals that count. You can have as much possession as you like."
However much possession United had hoped for, they undoubtedly got more. The Red Devils would finish the match with 76 percent of the ball, an imbalance owed to Fulham's conservative tactics as well as Steve Sidwell's 19th minute opener. United would finish the match with a 31-6 edge in shots, having put nine shots on goal (to Fulham's three).
Lamenting Bent's late equalizer as "diabolical," Moyes agreed critics "could use maybe mental softness (to explain) that we didn't see the job out and get the job done. I would agree with that."
Despite his team's endless crosses, the Red Devils boss bristled at the notion his team was overly reliant on playing from wide, noted some would characterize dominant wing play as part of Manchester United's DNA. Fulham manager René Meulensteen, however, called United's tactics "quite straightforward."
"[G]et it wide, get it in," the former Manchester United assistant explained, "whether it was from the full-back pushing on or the supporting wide man and midfielder."
A long time member of Alex Ferguson's coaching staff, Meulensteen was let go from United in June of 2013, with Moyes electing to bring his own team to Old Trafford.

I am so sick of the supporters of Moyes. The evidence as Everton was that he could take a club with a 7th place budget to about a 7th place finish. There was never any lovely play at Everton. It was all this same agricultural hoof it out wide and then cross it into the box. He never should have gotten the job. But now, all we've seen is the same agricultural crap. The players don't play for him. Injuries seem to be on the upswing and there are rumors of players being uphappy.
I just don't see what glimmer of hope the supporters are hanging their hats on? It's just nonsense about how, "United isn't the kind of club that sacks managers after a few bad results…." What BS! We had a once-in-a-lifetime manager in SAF. Now we're going to do what every other top club in the world does: Try to hire the best managers and rotate them every few years. We don't want to be a reactionary club like Chelsea, but look at what their "reactionary" firings have gotten them: Top of the league.
Just bite the bullet and get rid of him. Make Ryan Giggs the player manager and find someone better this summer.

The Hollywood Reporter writes that Matilda the Musical's Ripley Sobo has joined Danny Boyle's upcoming Steve Jobs biopic, playing his daughter Lisa at the age of 9.
Perla Haney-Jardine will pick up the role for the girl's later years. Jobs refused to acknowledge he was Lisa's father for years but finally admitted paternity when she was a teenager.
Sobo will appear opposite Michael Fassbender, who leads the cast as the Apple founder. Seth Rogen will play Steve Wozniak, with Katherine Waterston as Chrisann Brennan, Jobs' high school girlfriend, longtime partner and the mother of his first child. Michael Stuhlbarg will play Andy Hertzfeld, one of the company's original developers. Kate Winslet takes on the role of former Mac marketing boss Joanna Hoffman, and Jeff Daniels will play former Apple CEO John Sculley. Rounding out the cast are Makenzie Moss, Sarah Snook and Adam Shapiro.
Produced by Scott Rudin, Guymon Casady and Mark Gordon, the movie was last described as being divided into three acts, each showing JOBS in preparation for an upcoming presentation that would eventually change his life and the future of his company.
Filming kicked off today in San Francisco.
Sobo has also appeared on Broadway in Once. Offstage, the actress was featured in Winter's Tale and will next be seen on the big screen in Ricki and the Flash and Batman vs. Superman.

Should autistic Canadians and their family members complete this survey reference above? While I am very skeptical about the credibility and legitimacy of this survey, for the reasons that I set out in this commentary I do recommend that all eligible autistic Canadians, family members and care givers, give the organizers a chance and complete the survey.
Parents here in Fredericton NB were actively involved over 15 years ago in lobbying our late, former MP Andy Scott to push our federal government to adopt a National Autism Strategy. Together with Nova Scotia MP Peter Stoffer a private members bill was passed which, although lacking teeth, did at least "serve notice" that a National Autism Strategy was needed. A motion for a real national autism strategy also originated from the Maritime Provinces when former PEI MP Shawn Murphy attempted unsuccessfully to include autism treatment under our national healthcare legislation. The Medicare for Autism NOW! organization originating in BC with members and supporters across Canada, has advocated extensively for inclusion of autism treatment in medicare coverage for many years. The Canadian Senate released its Pay Now or Pay Later report several years ago.
Nothing of substance resulted from these historical efforts. Even a National Autism Symposium which had been scheduled was cancelled and then rescheduled under the hilarious excuse that premises for the Symposium were unavailable in Canada's National Capital Region where such events are a core business of the area. When the event was rescheduled local autism community activists, including me, nominated to attend by autism professionals were not accepted for participation by the Harper government. Instead strident anti-ABA activist Michelle Dawson was given prominence and a stage to push her opinions at the "national autism symposium". The efforts of parents across Canada had led to the introduction to various degrees of early ABA intervention, the only evidence based treatment for autism, in the provinces. The federal government opposed a national autism strategy which recognized those efforts and instead set up a phony puppet symposium of those who opposed evidence based early intervention for autism disorders.
Is there any reason to think that the current needs assessment survey will result in a credible, representative statement of needs of autistic Canadians and their families? The CASDA web site indicates that the survey is funded by the Public Health Agency Canada (PHAC). As someone who has seen the opposition by Prime Minister Harper and CASDA "Political Ambassador" Mike Lake to a national effort to ensure that all Canadian children receive effective evidence based treatment regardless of their province of residence I am doubtful. As someone who has been active in autism advocacy in Canada including the events leading to the replacement of the original National Autism Symposium by the phony symposium dictated and controlled by the Harper government I will be very surprised if this survey results in a credible, genuine National Autism Needs Assessment.
I sincerely hope though that my skepticism is misplaced. I myself completed the survey. As a lawyer I have on occasion changed the legal opinion provided to clients when new information, new evidence points to a different or contrary conclusion. I hope that this survey results in a genuine assessment of the needs of ALL autistic Canadians, of all ages and severity levels wherever they live in Canada. Just as important I hope that the survey results in effective, real action and not more posturing and inaction.
I urge all eligible Canadians to complete the CASDA survey.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
News Release
Autism National Needs Assessment Survey Responses Surpass Halfway Mark
In one month, over 2,600 surveys completed, but help needed from ALL provinces [TORONTO – May 12, 2014] On April 2, 2014, World Autism Awareness Day, the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorders Alliance (CASDA) launched the first National Needs Assessment Survey for Autism in Canada. Today, CASDA is delighted to announce that, after one month, they have surpassed the halfway mark with over 2,600 responses from the Canadian Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) community. This National Needs Assessment Survey is the first of its kind in Canada and is designed to canvas the opinions of thousands of Canadians, from all provinces and territories, with a goal of 5000 surveys completed. After analyzing the data to date, there has been an overwhelming response from ASD professionals and caregivers in Ontario but not yet enough representation from caregivers, professionals and those with ASD in other provinces. To ensure the data is statistically accurate and representative of the entire country, CASDA needs solid rates of response from all provinces.
"This survey marks an important opportunity for parents, individuals with ASD and professionals in the autism field to serve notice to our federal government that a national autism strategy is needed. Canadians with ASD deserve the attention of our government. They deserve to have policy and planning done using evidence from across the country and to have standards for service set at the national level," said Cynthia Carroll, CASDA Chair. While 1 in 68 people in Canada will be diagnosed with Autism, there are thousands more who live, work and care for them. The data gathered from this survey will identify existing services and service gaps, provide perspectives based on regional, individual, family and professional views and needs as well as help support surveillance initiatives. Survey Quick Facts
• CASDA needs 5000 Canadians to complete the survey in order to ensure a statistically representative sample size.
• 300 surveys completed by parents/caregivers of children with ASD are needed in each province.
• To be eligible to complete the survey you must be, an Individual with ASD, a Family member of an individual with ASD or a Caregiver of an individual with ASD.
• Survey is open only until June 30th and takes just 15 minutes to complete • Survey is available online in English at http://bit.ly/1qkfMQy and in French http://bit.ly/1gHySe1
• CASDA will use this information to write a report for the Public Health Agency of Canada, estimated publish date is October, 2014.
• Join the conversation online using #GetTo5000
CASDA wants everyone touched by Autism in Canada to have their voice heard and together, the ASD community is in a position to influence public policy and planning in Canada.
CASDA is a national coalition of autism related professionals, family members and community members and together, they are working to secure the federal government's commitment to the development of a National Autism Action Plan. The National Needs Assessment survey was developed by Dr. Jonathan Weiss, a researcher from York University and CIHR Chair in Autism Spectrum Disorders Treatment and Care Research, in consultation with Cynthia Carroll from Autism Nova Scotia. This research has been approved by the Ethics Review Board of York University. From the data collected, CASDA will produce a report to assist with its planning and advocacy process.

This can be from a few different things. You may have a bad ignition switch, starter or the wiring and circuitry that allows for the starter to operate. It will require a diagnosis to determine exactly what is wrong.

CHICAGO – Fitch Ratings upgraded Smithfield Foods Inc.'s debt and said the company's rating outlook is stable.
Fitch said the upgrade of Smithfield's 6.625 percent notes reflects the fact that none of the company's public notes are guaranteed following the August 2012 refinancing of its 10 percent secured notes due July 15, 2014. Fitch also upgraded Smithfield's Issuer Default Rating and guaranteed unsecured notes to 'BB' on July 19, 2012 because the refinancing improved Smithfield's overall credit profile by reducing interest, eliminating an early maturity trigger on the firm's inventory revolver and extending maturities.
Smithfield's ratings incorporate the firm's balanced financial policies, periodic earnings volatility, mid-single-digit EBITDA margin and single-protein concentration, the ratings agency said. The ratings also take into account the company's risk-management capabilities and sizeable branded packaged meats business which provides a more stable source of cash flow than fresh pork products, according to Fitch.

"All our science, measured against reality, is primitive and childlike-and yet it is the most precious thing we have."
"He was fussy and very childlike. He'd be a handful, ... He'd have you so angry, but then he'd come up and hug you. He was just aggravated and somewhat fearful about the key.

2015 Taste of Country Music Festival Lineup Profile: Easton Corbin
Easton Corbin is one of country music's hottest young male acts, and his set at the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival is sure to be a fan favorite.
Easton Corbin is one of country music's hottest young male acts, and his set at the 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival is sure to be a fan favorite.
It's getting closer, folks! The full 2015 Taste of Country Music Festival lineup is now available, and in addition to headliners Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Toby Keith, 14 other acts have been revealed!
Easton Corbin is doing his part to help America's farmers.
One more win and Easton Corbin is in ... in the Taste of Country Showdown Hall of Fame, that is. The staple singer's latest, 'Baby Be My Love Song,' bested a new single from Gloriana over the weekend for a fourth straight song battle win. That means it moves on to face a new challenger today in Rodney Atkins.
Easton Corbin has done it again. The singer's latest single, 'Baby Be My Love Song,' just won its third consecutive Showdown, and now returns to face a new challenge from Gloriana.
Easton Corbin is on a hot streak with his latest single. 'Baby Be My Love Song' has just won its second straight Showdown, and will now face a new track from Billy Currington.
The weekend's Showdown came down to a few Monday morning votes. Easton Corbin fans were up early, working the polls to ensure 'Baby Be My Love Song' moved on. He did -- that means he'll face a new powerhouse group called the Railers.
Two new Showdown singers will face off this weekend after Eric Paslay's fans knocked Florida Georgia Line out of the challenger's circle earlier this week. 'She Don't Love You' has earned Hall of Fame enshrinement -- can one of these two singers do the same?
After two spicy singles, Easton Corbin returns to a straight-forward love song for his next radio release. 'Baby Be My Love Song' is the sort of timeless tune Corbin began his career with.
If you've seen Easton Corbin's 'Clockwork' music video, you know there are some pretty steamy shots between him and the gorgeous blonde with whom he has a few flings. Although he looked totally at ease (and into it) during the video, he admits that filming some of those scenes was uncomfortable.

Chad Griffin Joins Gov. Martin O'Malley & Sen. Ben Cardin at Maryland Marriage Equality Rally
November 5, 2012 by HRC staff
Post submitted by Dan Rafter, Former HRC Associate Director of Communications
HRC President Chad Griffin joined Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley and Senator Ben Cardin to rally support for Question 6 in Baltimore this morning. Baltimore NAACP President Tessa Hill Aston, State Delegate Luke Clippinger, and the Rev. Donte Hickman also participated.
There are only a few hours left to Get Out the Vote for Question 6. Last week, both the Washington Post and the Baltimore Sun came out for Question 6.
The Sun notes that supporting Question 6 is simply a matter of fairness:
Everyone deserves to be treated equally under the law, and for that reason, we urge voters to support Question 6.
The Post points to the growing support for equality nationwide:

What's it worth? Loudon County assessments questioned when appraisals lack consistency
LOUDON - A Rarity Bay lot owner's disagreement with Loudon County over his property assessment is raising questions about appraisal reductions on land in the upscale gated community owned by developers, including Rarity Bay creator Mike Ross.
Ross received lowered appraisals of more than $11 million on 2005 tax appraisals for lots he owned in the waterfront community, according to a review of records by the Loudon County assessor's office. However, the assessor at the time said Ross didn't request the reductions.
Records show that appraisals conducted in April 2005 on 178 parcels in Rarity Bay were rolled back to 2001 levels just weeks after they had been appraised at a higher level by the county assessor's office.
All lots on which adjustments were made were at the time owned by Ross' companies, developers, relatives or business associates, Jenkins said. Two of the lots belonged to another developer in Maryland who purchased them from Ross.
Ross has developed a number of residential communities in the Knoxville area under the Rarity brand, including Rarity Bay, Rarity Pointe, Rarity Ridge, Rarity Mountain, Rarity Meadows, Rarity Oaks, Rarity Club, and Rarity Rivers.
An attorney for the state comptroller's office said the selective adjustments appear to be an example of "developer discounting," a practice that about 20 years ago was determined to be against the law by the state Board of Equalization, which regulates property appraisals.
Loudon County assessor Chuck Jenkins called the comptroller's office earlier this year for an opinion on appraisals in question.
Overvalued or undervalued?
Ross said he does not recall requesting adjustments on any of the appraisals for 2005.
"It's been three years and we have hundreds of lots. I honestly don't recall," Ross said.
But appraisals are something he keeps a close eye on, he acknowledged, saying he keeps records on requests for adjustments.
"I don't always agree with the appraisals," Ross said. "We follow them closely."
In 2005, the assessor's office was run by Loudon County Mayor Doyle Arp. The county commission appointed Chuck Jenkins to fill the role of assessor after Arp became mayor in 2006.
Arp denies that Ross requested the discounts and contends that all changes to assessments for the 2005 tax year were based on requests he received from private property owners. According to the records, none of the 178 lots in question were privately owned.
"Mr. Ross did not contact or ask me to change anything," Arp said in a statement.
Jenkins, who ran unopposed for the assessor's job in Thursday's election, said he first realized something was wrong with the 2005 assessments after receiving a call in February from a Rarity Bay property owner living in Florida who thought his appraisal was too high.
The property, listed in the name of Frank Renkel, is located on a peninsula in Rarity Bay and was assessed at $800,000 in 2005.
Lots listed as owned by the Ross-owned company Tellico Lake Properties and located on the end of the same peninsula - some featuring more lake frontage than Renkel's lot - were originally appraised at $800,000 in April 2005 but were then reduced to $500,000 several weeks later.
Renkel, who bought his lot in 2004, said he originally planned to build a home on the lake but decided a few years later to put it up for sale.
While doing research to market the lot, Renkel said he was surprised when noticing that his property was appraised at $800,000 while larger lots with more lake frontage on the same peninsula were appraised at $500,000.
Renkel said he contacted Jenkins because he thought his lot was overvalued next to comparable lots. He said he isn't at all happy to find out that others were getting lower-than-market-value appraisals on their lots.
"While researching his (Renkel's) complaint, it became apparent that there was a lack of consistency in appraisals among identical, often adjacent lots," Jenkins said. "The lower appraisals were on those lots still owned at the time by the developer."
Further review revealed that approximately $11.6 million in total appraised value was cut from 178 lots in Rarity Bay, Jenkins said. The changes to the appraisals saved Ross more than $132,000 in taxes between 2005 and 2007, he noted.
The 178 changes were keyed into the assessor's office computer system on May 4, 2005, several weeks after the official 2005 reappraisals had been completed and entered into the state database, Jenkins said.
Fair and equal
In a statement, Arp said any reductions to the 2005 appraisals were the result of his own research that included consideration of the average selling price of comparable lots at that time and the state of infrastructure, such as roads. The appraisals also reflected the value of lots that might have been sold without memberships or fees for the amenities associated with the development, he said.
"This is a mass appraisal program and all values are based on sales information collected during the years between appraisals. As the assessor of property from 1980 to 2006, I strived to be fair and equal to all property owners," Arp said in the statement.
According to Jenkins, Rarity Bay was a mature community in 2005 and the infrastructure was largely complete. The majority of lots were sold with the membership fee included in the sales price. Even the most expensive amenities such as lifetime golf memberships - priced at about $20,000 - would not account for the adjustments, which averaged more than $65,000 on each lot and as much as $300,000 on some higher-priced lots, Jenkins said.
Jenkins said one lot in question was first appraised at $800,000 in April 2005, then reduced to $500,000 in May of that year before being sold for $1.5 million in November 2005.
Any such considerations by Arp should have been included in the official 2005 appraisal process and supported by documentation, Jenkins said.
"There was no supporting documentation for the reversals, no record of appeals to the Board of Equalization and no sales data to support the lower valuations," Jenkins said.
Most importantly, Jenkins said, is the fact that any such reasons for reductions in the appraisals should have been applied equally to privately owned and developer-owned lots.
"I am sorry Mr. Jenkins spent so much time researching this matter when a simple phone call would have answered these questions," said Arp, who blames the issue on a political adversary, not Jenkins.
A state opinion
In seeking guidance from the state, Jenkins was told the appraisal rollbacks were not justified under state law.
"It sounds as if the person who did it was using the practice of developer discounting," said Robert Lee, general counsel to the state Comptroller of the Treasury, division of property assessments. "The state Board of Equalization has determined that there is nothing in the law that allows developer discounting."
Developer discounting was popular in some Tennessee counties until the late 1980s, according to Lee. The practice, designed to encourage development, was based on the consideration that the developer is more of a middleman and should not be taxed at the same level as private landowners.
Legal opinions issued by Tennessee judges in the late 1980s and early 1990s made it clear that the practice is not legal, Lee said.
"We hope the practice is not used any more," he said. "The law states that all property is to be taxed at fair market value."
Lee said the possibility of filing criminal charges depends on the circumstances, noting that if a "quid pro quo" existed between the developer and the assessor's office, the local district attorney could pursue criminal charges.
In cases where developer discounting has been discovered, the assessor's office or the state Board of Equalization has the power to restore the appraisals to their proper value, Lee said.
Aware of the issue
Loudon County District Attorney General Russell Johnson said his office became aware of the appraisal issue Aug. 4 when he received copies of letters sent to Gov. Phil Bredesen's office pertaining to appraisals in question.
Johnson said he has spoken to several people involved in the issue and decided to seek advice from the state's property assessment division in Nashville. He said he was traveling to Nashville Friday to meet with Lee.
Jenkins said that after discovering the inconsistencies he began conducting a review of each assessment and has since reassessed the lots and managed to correct all but $1.3 million of the $11.6 million in 2005 adjustments in time for the 2008 tax bills.
The rollback of the 2005 reappraisal on 178 select properties and the resulting write off of $11.6 million in appraised value ended up costing Loudon County more than $132,000 in lost tax revenue, Jenkins said.
"That money is not recoverable and that portion of the tax burden had to be redistributed among the rest of Loudon County's taxpayers," Jenkins said.
Renkel believes payback is due, though not necessarily from taxpayers.
"I think its wrong," Renkel said. "I'm very glad Mr. Jenkins investigated. The way I look at it, it should be illegal. I think somebody should pay.

A personal story: In 1977 when I chose to study at the then International Center for Studies in Creativity, highlighted in this article, friends and family both asked: Can't you study something real? According to the NYTimes, creativity is now an academic discipline. Let me know if you are interested in tutoring (lol).

I have a fantastic little book that tells the story of a boy who is born, lives and dies... and is reborn again as a little girl. It's a good introduction to reincarnation and karma from a kid's POV - the children in the book are Asian and it's very simple and nicely illustrated.
If only I could remember the NAME of it for you, lol! I'll try to find it this weekend AND remember to come back here and post it, LOL!

Each of these five books have altered my position on design and design research—they are staples in my library. In an interview, the filmmaker Harmony Korine once stated that two people can see the same movie, and one will walk out thinking about popcorn while the other walks out thinking about fascism.

I could speak for days about the significance and beauty of this book, which tells the history of the computer from 1890 to 1950. The book is based on the exhibition of the same title that the Eames Office designed for IBM, which was on display from 1971 until 1975 in IBM's Corporate Exhibit Center in New York City. Its format is made up of sequences of images that occupy the central portion of each spread, with captions above and below. This creates a dynamic reading experience, and prefigures the basic format of the scrolling blog, or twitter feed, where a stream of text and images are in constant referral to each other. Mixing scientific, mathematical, mechanical, and cultural information, the book portrays its subject through a broader lens than is typically used in books about history. The juxtapositions of images, which include photographs of inventors, scaled reproductions of important documents, news clippings, cut-out photographs of tools and machines, and stills from popular films, are as beautiful as they are enlightening. While the content is interesting to me, the real fascination for me lies in the format, which offers a finely conceived lens for viewing history, and could be applied to any number of subjects.
Though the ideas developed by Judd throughout this compilation of his gallery reviews, book reviews, articles, letters and statements are entirely interesting, what really intrigues me about this book is the fact that Judd actually went through with all of this writing, firmly developing his position on so many of the works of his contemporaries. The other thing that excites me about the book is that he states that he did all the writing therein as a mercenary, only for the money, to help support himself as an artist, and that he always put the writing off until the deadline. Viewing the book this way I can't help but imagine all the months' rent paid by these words. This book inspired me to support my design studio through similar mercenary-writing activities. I still do write to support the studio and I still put off writing until the very last possible moment, which creates a very productive tension around the writing process.
I bought this catalogue in 2010 at the exhibition of Enzo Mari's paperweight collection at Kaleidoscope in Milan. I spent an hour walking around the exhibition photographing each one of the paperweights on display before realizing that this book—which catalogues Mari's fascinating collection—was for sale. It is a simple book on a simple theme, and like the exhibition offers a world of objects whose forms bear a clear, but always surprising relationship to their materials.
I found this book in the gift shop of the Neue Galerie in New York ten years ago, while I was a student, and it has consistently remained one of my favorites. The book explores the film Die neue Wohnung, which Richter did on commission from the Swiss Werkbund, and which functioned to promote modern furniture. The book features stills from the film comparing people living with antiquated furniture to people living with modern furniture. Seeing users in action, their movements guided by architecture and furniture, led me to see design as a kind of choreography.
This is a book of photographs taken by Richard Knight during his time working in Eero Saarinen's office in the 1950s up until Saarinen's death in 1961. The photographs show Saarinen and his associates in deeply focused work, taping models, scrutinizing their designs, and discussing ideas. The models are at once ambitious, some in a scale so large that they occupied entire rooms, and loose, erected quickly to test and further ideas. An incredible sense of play, but serious play, comes across from seeing these grown men in suits crouching around scale buildings and mounting their drawings to the walls. The craft of it all is enviable.

Talk:Hrólfr Kraki
|This article is of interest to the following WikiProjects:
Origins for Rolf Krake[edit]
Feel free to add references, links and your thoughts on this subject, email me at [[1]].
Even though I feel free, I hate to post anything that might be wrong or incompatible with the version you're following. However, here are some changes I'd like to make, based partly on Anderson's version:
(After Rolf becomes king.) Many heroes come to serve Rolf, most notably Bodvar Bjarke. (Bodvar means "battle".) Twelve in particular were recognized as his best men. This article omits the stories that are told about them.
(After the escape from Adils.) In Svitjod, Rolf is joined by a young man named Vögg who gave him the nickname Krake. ("Krake" means a kind of primitive ladder consisting of a conifer trunk with the stubs of its branches. Rolf is physically unimpressive, especially compared to some of his twelve companions.)'
(Under "Origins of the myth".) The character names given in parentheses here are the Anglo-Saxon names from Beowulf of characters who seem to correspond to those in Rolf's story. However, the alignment is not definite.
The myth of Rolf ruling over a golden age and surrounded by legendary heroes may be compared to the myths of King Arthur and the Round Table and to those of Charlemagne and his twelve paladins in the chansons de geste
Any mistakes in there?

Hrolf's champions[edit]
I noticed that in this article the twelve men following King Hrolf Kraki in his campaign against King Adils are described as being berserkers. In the versions that I have read, Bodvar Bjarki and Hjalti had previosly defeated and dishonored most of King Hrolf's beserkers. Thereafter in the saga the twelve men are known as his champions. This group is composed of Bodvar, Hjalti (formerly Hott), the thee brothers Svipdag, Hvitserk, and Beygad, and the some of the remaining berserkers.

Re: Aykroyd Comments on Murray, Ghostbusters 3! Working on Script w/Ra
Another problem I see (whether it's a reboot or sequel) is that those glowing ectoplamic ghosts of the 80s just aren't remotely scary or frightening anymore.
What really needs to happen (and I know it won't), is for the Ghostbusters to go up against the freaky, Ring-style ghosts and creepy, wall-crawling creatures of
horror movies. That would be fun as hell to watch, and much more in the spirit of the original movie than what they're probably planning to make.
If we're not as freaked out by the ghosts are the Ghostbusters are, then the movie's just not going to work.
