Ten Things I Think I Think
1. I think Bill Belichick would love the rule the CFL Competition Committee adopted this year: instant replay on pass-interference calls and non-calls. Coaches have two replay challenges per game, as in the NFL, but they can use it if they think a receiver's gotten mugged. It turned into a key play in the first game of the season Thursday night in Winnipeg. Winnipeg coach Mike O'Shea challenged an uncalled but clear pass-interference infraction, and it allowed the Blue Bombers to get the ball at the opposing 1-yard line and score an easy touchdown.
2. I think I saw a perfect example why interference should be adjusted to be a reviewable play. Coach Corey Chamblin of the Roughriders showed me in his office Sunday morning a play from last year's final minute in the Eastern Conference final between Montreal and Hamilton. Duron Carter, the wide receiver, got mugged in the end zone. No call. The game was tied and went to overtime. "That play," said Chamblin, "could have been the difference between Montreal going to the Grey Cup and Hamilton going home."
3. I think something I've re-thought after seeing two games over the weekend is that Tim Tebow would be a tough fit here. You've got to be an accurate passer to succeed in the CFL, because of the wide field—12 yards wider than the NFL field—and the fact that you're playing in more weather than in the United States. Tebow has often been talked of as a good fit in the CFL, and he would be a desirable player in Canada because of his name. "But one of his major downfalls is accuracy," Saskatchewan assistant GM Jeremy O'Day said. "I think he would struggle." Tebow is on Montreal's negotiating list, but he and his reps have shown no interest in playing in the CFL.
4. I think something I never hear in an NFL locker room I heard five times Saturday afternoon from players in Calgary: "Thanks for coming." Or, "Great that you came to Canada. Thanks."
5. I think one of the quirky things I heard here was in Calgary, where the Stamps play "Sweet Caroline" just the way it's played at Fenway Park, shutting down the "so good, so good, so good" so the fans can take it away. They were good at it too.
6. I think I was pleased to see Luke Tasker score the lone Hamilton touchdown Sunday. Scary how much he reminds me of his dad, Steve, the Buffalo Bills great—as a player and as a polite person just happy to be playing football. Luke Tasker, who played collegiately at Cornell, got dropped from his free-agent trial in San Diego after camp last year and signed with Hamilton in the fall. He played in the Grey Cup loss at Saskatchewan, and was back Sunday with four catches for 37 yards, including a four-yard touchdown that was a superb catch because of how tough it was to keep a foot inbounds (you only need to get one down in the CFL). "I'll play for as long as I can," Tasker said. "My wife and I are setting up our home in Hamilton, and because it's so close to Buffalo, about an hour and 20 minutes, it's a good place so my family can come and see me play." He said he likes the game a lot. "It's a different kind of exhaustion for a receiver because you're running so much," he said.
7. I think the starkest difference between the two leagues, north and south, is the salary cap. NFL in 2014: $130 million. CFL in 2014: $5 million.
8. I think you'll read some different perspectives in the next couple of weeks in this space. Oakland rookie Khalil Mack will take my spot next Monday, and Rich Eisen of NFL Network two weeks from today. I'm going to Italy. Excited about it. I'll be back three weeks from today, live from the first open camp in the NFL—Buffalo's, in Pittsford, N.Y.
9. I think I need your help. Tomorrow my column will be your words on our CFL coverage, and whether you want more of it or less. I'll run the best mail from you. Be specific about what you like or don't like. As I said when we started a week ago, you'll determine by your visits to our site and your clicks on our stories whether you want us to write more about the CFL. No matter what, I won't commit to covering it weekly, but if the numbers are good we'll check in on the CFL during the season. Send your thoughts to me today, on Twitter or at the email address in the box to the right.
10. I think these are my non-football thoughts of the week:
a. Lovely country up here. I love driving. John Madden used to talk about how he disliked the flyover mentality that people have when they travel, like they were really seeing things when actually they were flying over things and not seeing them. I have a real feel of the prairies in Canada now. Though the rain here has been outlandish, the green and the ponds and the wheatfields … beautiful and placid.
b. The World Cup seems fun, though not many in Alberta and Saskatchewan seemed tied to their TVs over it. Saw a replay of the penalty called on the Mexico player in the box, allowing the Netherlands to convert the winning penalty kick. Thought it was a foul, but the embellishment … totally classless.
c. Incredible: thisclose to having both Mexico and Costa Rica the final eight. Congrats to the latter.
d. Welcome, Mookie.
e. Coffeenerdness I: There is a drive-through Starbucks in Medicine Hat. After a short night Saturday and a 4.5-hour drive Sunday, that was a hugely welcome sight.
f. Coffeenerdness II: Then, just 45 minutes out of Regina, we stopped in Moose Jaw at a Tim Horton's. Busy morning at the Moose Jaw TimHo's. I was 19th in line. My review of the coffee? I'm more of a dark-roast kind of guy. I drank the coffee, and it was okay, but I need a darker blend.
g. Beernerdness: Tried the Great Western Brewing Company's Original 16 Pale Ale in Regina. Seemed like a good drinking beer—and by that I mean you could have more than two and not feel leaden—but not particularly memorable. I can always say I had a beer from Saskatoon.
h. One more thing about the upcoming week: We're just finishing up Canada Week. Now we're onto Beach Reading Week. Starting tomorrow, we'll have four installments of a Bill Syken novella I think you'll really like.
i. Right. Beach Reading Week. Give something new a try, the same way you tried Canada Week.
The Adieu Haiku
See you in three weeks.
Just one recommendation:
Try the CFL.

They block out the landscape with giant signs
Covered with pretty girls and catchy lines
Put up fences and cement the ground
To dull my senses, keep the flowers down
I want 'em back
Spend my money on a race to space
Wasting my money, slapping my face
They've taken a peek over future's fence
Taken a peek at my expense
They've wasted human lives
And they've fucked up mine
I want it back
I'm not into the material scene
Polyester, polyethylene
At least give me a chance to say what I want
The more you waste, the more you want
I want 'em back
I want 'em back
I want 'em back
Give 'em back!
Month: January 1970
"Counterparts," by James Joyce (Dubliners)
THE bell rang furiously and, when Miss Parker went to the tube, a furious voice called out in a piercing North of Ireland accent:
"Send Farrington here!"
Miss Parker returned to her machine, saying to a man who was writing at a desk:
"Mr. Alleyne wants you upstairs."
The man muttered "Blast him!" under his breath and pushed back his chair to stand up. When he stood up he was tall and of great bulk. He had a hanging face, dark wine-coloured, with fair eyebrows and moustache: his eyes bulged forward slightly and the whites of them were dirty. He lifted up the counter and, passing by the clients, went out of the office with a heavy step.
He went heavily upstairs until he came to the second landing, where a door bore a brass plate with the inscription Mr. Alleyne. Here he halted, puffing with labour and vexation, and knocked. The shrill voice cried:
"Come in!"
The man entered Mr. Alleyne's room. Simultaneously Mr. Alleyne, a little man wearing gold-rimmed glasses on a cleanshaven face, shot his head up over a pile of documents. The head itself was so pink and hairless it seemed like a large egg reposing on the papers. Mr. Alleyne did not lose a moment:
"Farrington? What is the meaning of this? Why have I always to complain of you? May I ask you why you haven't made a copy of that contract between Bodley and Kirwan? I told you it must be ready by four o'clock."
"But Mr. Shelley said, sir——"
"Mr. Shelley said, sir…. Kindly attend to what I say and not to what Mr. Shelley says, sir. You have always some excuse or another for shirking work. Let me tell you that if the contract is not copied before this evening I'll lay the matter before Mr. Crosbie…. Do you hear me now?"
"Yes, sir."
"Do you hear me now?… Ay and another little matter! I might as well be talking to the wall as talking to you. Understand once for all that you get a half an hour for your lunch and not an hour and a half. How many courses do you want, I'd like to know…. Do you mind me now?"
"Yes, sir."
Mr. Alleyne bent his head again upon his pile of papers. The man stared fixedly at the polished skull which directed the affairs of Crosbie & Alleyne, gauging its fragility. A spasm of rage gripped his throat for a few moments and then passed, leaving after it a sharp sensation of thirst. The man recognised the sensation and felt that he must have a good night's drinking. The middle of the month was passed and, if he could get the copy done in time, Mr. Alleyne might give him an order on the cashier. He stood still, gazing fixedly at the head upon the pile of papers. Suddenly Mr. Alleyne began to upset all the papers, searching for something. Then, as if he had been unaware of the man's presence till that moment, he shot up his head again, saying:
"Eh? Are you going to stand there all day? Upon my word, Farrington, you take things easy!"
"I was waiting to see…"
"Very good, you needn't wait to see. Go downstairs and do your work."
The man walked heavily towards the door and, as he went out of the room, he heard Mr. Alleyne cry after him that if the contract was not copied by evening Mr. Crosbie would hear of the matter.
He returned to his desk in the lower office and counted the sheets which remained to be copied. He took up his pen and dipped it in the ink but he continued to stare stupidly at the last words he had written: In no case shall the said Bernard Bodley be… The evening was falling and in a few minutes they would be lighting the gas: then he could write. He felt that he must slake the thirst in his throat. He stood up from his desk and, lifting the counter as before, passed out of the office. As he was passing out the chief clerk looked at him inquiringly.
"It's all right, Mr. Shelley," said the man, pointing with his finger to indicate the objective of his journey.
The chief clerk glanced at the hat-rack, but, seeing the row complete, offered no remark. As soon as he was on the landing the man pulled a shepherd's plaid cap out of his pocket, put it on his head and ran quickly down the rickety stairs. From the street door he walked on furtively on the inner side of the path towards the corner and all at once dived into a doorway. He was now safe in the dark snug of O'Neill's shop, and filling up the little window that looked into the bar with his inflamed face, the colour of dark wine or dark meat, he called out:
"Here, Pat, give us a g.p., like a good fellow."
The curate brought him a glass of plain porter. The man drank it at a gulp and asked for a caraway seed. He put his penny on the counter and, leaving the curate to grope for it in the gloom, retreated out of the snug as furtively as he had entered it.
Darkness, accompanied by a thick fog, was gaining upon the dusk of February and the lamps in Eustace Street had been lit. The man went up by the houses until he reached the door of the office, wondering whether he could finish his copy in time. On the stairs a moist pungent odour of perfumes saluted his nose: evidently Miss Delacour had come while he was out in O'Neill's. He crammed his cap back again into his pocket and re-entered the office, assuming an air of absentmindedness.
"Mr. Alleyne has been calling for you," said the chief clerk severely. "Where were you?"
The man glanced at the two clients who were standing at the counter as if to intimate that their presence prevented him from answering. As the clients were both male the chief clerk allowed himself a laugh.
"I know that game," he said. "Five times in one day is a little bit… Well, you better look sharp and get a copy of our correspondence in the Delacour case for Mr. Alleyne."
This address in the presence of the public, his run upstairs and the porter he had gulped down so hastily confused the man and, as he sat down at his desk to get what was required, he realised how hopeless was the task of finishing his copy of the contract before half past five. The dark damp night was coming and he longed to spend it in the bars, drinking with his friends amid the glare of gas and the clatter of glasses. He got out the Delacour correspondence and passed out of the office. He hoped Mr. Alleyne would not discover that the last two letters were missing.
The moist pungent perfume lay all the way up to Mr. Alleyne's room. Miss Delacour was a middle-aged woman of Jewish appearance. Mr. Alleyne was said to be sweet on her or on her money. She came to the office often and stayed a long time when she came. She was sitting beside his desk now in an aroma of perfumes, smoothing the handle of her umbrella and nodding the great black feather in her hat. Mr. Alleyne had swivelled his chair round to face her and thrown his right foot jauntily upon his left knee. The man put the correspondence on the desk and bowed respectfully but neither Mr. Alleyne nor Miss Delacour took any notice of his bow. Mr. Alleyne tapped a finger on the correspondence and then flicked it towards him as if to say: "That's all right: you can go."
The man returned to the lower office and sat down again at his desk. He stared intently at the incomplete phrase: In no case shall the said Bernard Bodley be… and thought how strange it was that the last three words began with the same letter. The chief clerk began to hurry Miss Parker, saying she would never have the letters typed in time for post. The man listened to the clicking of the machine for a few minutes and then set to work to finish his copy. But his head was not clear and his mind wandered away to the glare and rattle of the public-house. It was a night for hot punches. He struggled on with his copy, but when the clock struck five he had still fourteen pages to write. Blast it! He couldn't finish it in time. He longed to execrate aloud, to bring his fist down on something violently. He was so enraged that he wrote Bernard Bernard instead of Bernard Bodley and had to begin again on a clean sheet.
He felt strong enough to clear out the whole office singlehanded. His body ached to do something, to rush out and revel in violence. All the indignities of his life enraged him…. Could he ask the cashier privately for an advance? No, the cashier was no good, no damn good: he wouldn't give an advance…. He knew where he would meet the boys: Leonard and O'Halloran and Nosey Flynn. The barometer of his emotional nature was set for a spell of riot.
His imagination had so abstracted him that his name was called twice before he answered. Mr. Alleyne and Miss Delacour were standing outside the counter and all the clerks had turn round in anticipation of something. The man got up from his desk. Mr. Alleyne began a tirade of abuse, saying that two letters were missing. The man answered that he knew nothing about them, that he had made a faithful copy. The tirade continued: it was so bitter and violent that the man could hardly restrain his fist from descending upon the head of the manikin before him.
"I know nothing about any other two letters," he said stupidly.
"You—know—nothing. Of course you know nothing," said Mr. Alleyne. "Tell me," he added, glancing first for approval to the lady beside him, "do you take me for a fool? Do you think me an utter fool?"
The man glanced from the lady's face to the little egg-shaped head and back again; and, almost before he was aware of it, his tongue had found a felicitous moment:
"I don't think, sir," he said, "that that's a fair question to put to me."
There was a pause in the very breathing of the clerks. Everyone was astounded (the author of the witticism no less than his neighbours) and Miss Delacour, who was a stout amiable person, began to smile broadly. Mr. Alleyne flushed to the hue of a wild rose and his mouth twitched with a dwarf's passion. He shook his fist in the man's face till it seemed to vibrate like the knob of some electric machine:
"You impertinent ruffian! You impertinent ruffian! I'll make short work of you! Wait till you see! You'll apologise to me for your impertinence or you'll quit the office instanter! You'll quit this, I'm telling you, or you'll apologise to me!"
He stood in a doorway opposite the office watching to see if the cashier would come out alone. All the clerks passed out and finally the cashier came out with the chief clerk. It was no use trying to say a word to him when he was with the chief clerk. The man felt that his position was bad enough. He had been obliged to offer an abject apology to Mr. Alleyne for his impertinence but he knew what a hornet's nest the office would be for him. He could remember the way in which Mr. Alleyne had hounded little Peake out of the office in order to make room for his own nephew. He felt savage and thirsty and revengeful, annoyed with himself and with everyone else. Mr. Alleyne would never give him an hour's rest; his life would be a hell to him. He had made a proper fool of himself this time. Could he not keep his tongue in his cheek? But they had never pulled together from the first, he and Mr. Alleyne, ever since the day Mr. Alleyne had overheard him mimicking his North of Ireland accent to amuse Higgins and Miss Parker: that had been the beginning of it. He might have tried Higgins for the money, but sure Higgins never had anything for himself. A man with two establishments to keep up, of course he couldn't….
He felt his great body again aching for the comfort of the public-house. The fog had begun to chill him and he wondered could he touch Pat in O'Neill's. He could not touch him for more than a bob—and a bob was no use. Yet he must get money somewhere or other: he had spent his last penny for the g.p. and soon it would be too late for getting money anywhere. Suddenly, as he was fingering his watch-chain, he thought of Terry Kelly's pawn-office in Fleet Street. That was the dart! Why didn't he think of it sooner?
He went through the narrow alley of Temple Bar quickly, muttering to himself that they could all go to hell because he was going to have a good night of it. The clerk in Terry Kelly's said A crown! but the consignor held out for six shillings; and in the end the six shillings was allowed him literally. He came out of the pawn-office joyfully, making a little cylinder, of the coins between his thumb and fingers. In Westmoreland Street the footpaths were crowded with young men and women returning from business and ragged urchins ran here and there yelling out the names of the evening editions. The man passed through the crowd, looking on the spectacle generally with proud satisfaction and staring masterfully at the office-girls. His head was full of the noises of tram-gongs and swishing trolleys and his nose already sniffed the curling fumes of punch. As he walked on he preconsidered the terms in which he would narrate the incident to the boys:
"So, I just looked at him—coolly, you know, and looked at her. Then I looked back at him again—taking my time, you know. 'I don't think that that's a fair question to put to me,' says I."
Nosey Flynn was sitting up in his usual corner of Davy Byrne's and, when he heard the story, he stood Farrington a half-one, saying it was as smart a thing as ever he heard. Farrington stood a drink in his turn. After a while O'Halloran and Paddy Leonard came in and the story was repeated to them. O'Halloran stood tailors of malt, hot, all round and told the story of the retort he had made to the chief clerk when he was in Callan's of Fownes's Street; but, as the retort was after the manner of the liberal shepherds in the eclogues, he had to admit that it was not as clever as Farrington's retort. At this Farrington told the boys to polish off that and have another.
Just as they were naming their poisons who should come in but Higgins! Of course he had to join in with the others. The men asked him to give his version of it, and he did so with great vivacity for the sight of five small hot whiskies was very exhilarating. Everyone roared laughing when he showed the way in which Mr. Alleyne shook his fist in Farrington's face. Then he imitated Farrington, saying, "And here was my nabs, as cool as you please," while Farrington looked at the company out of his heavy dirty eyes, smiling and at times drawing forth stray drops of liquor from his moustache with the aid of his lower lip.
When that round was over there was a pause. O'Halloran had money but neither of the other two seemed to have any; so the whole party left the shop somewhat regretfully. At the corner of Duke Street Higgins and Nosey Flynn bevelled off to the left while the other three turned back towards the city. Rain was drizzling down on the cold streets and, when they reached the Ballast Office, Farrington suggested the Scotch House. The bar was full of men and loud with the noise of tongues and glasses. The three men pushed past the whining match-sellers at the door and formed a little party at the corner of the counter. They began to exchange stories. Leonard introduced them to a young fellow named Weathers who was performing at the Tivoli as an acrobat and knockabout artiste. Farrington stood a drink all round. Weathers said he would take a small Irish and Apollinaris. Farrington, who had definite notions of what was what, asked the boys would they have an Apollinaris too; but the boys told Tim to make theirs hot. The talk became theatrical. O'Halloran stood a round and then Farrington stood another round, Weathers protesting that the hospitality was too Irish. He promised to get them in behind the scenes and introduce them to some nice girls. O'Halloran said that he and Leonard would go, but that Farrington wouldn't go because he was a married man; and Farrington's heavy dirty eyes leered at the company in token that he understood he was being chaffed. Weathers made them all have just one little tincture at his expense and promised to meet them later on at Mulligan's in Poolbeg Street.
When the Scotch House closed they went round to Mulligan's. They went into the parlour at the back and O'Halloran ordered small hot specials all round. They were all beginning to feel mellow. Farrington was just standing another round when Weathers came back. Much to Farrington's relief he drank a glass of bitter this time. Funds were getting low but they had enough to keep them going. Presently two young women with big hats and a young man in a check suit came in and sat at a table close by. Weathers saluted them and told the company that they were out of the Tivoli. Farrington's eyes wandered at every moment in the direction of one of the young women. There was something striking in her appearance. An immense scarf of peacock-blue muslin was wound round her hat and knotted in a great bow under her chin; and she wore bright yellow gloves, reaching to the elbow. Farrington gazed admiringly at the plump arm which she moved very often and with much grace; and when, after a little time, she answered his gaze he admired still more her large dark brown eyes. The oblique staring expression in them fascinated him. She glanced at him once or twice and, when the party was leaving the room, she brushed against his chair and said "O, pardon!" in a London accent. He watched her leave the room in the hope that she would look back at him, but he was disappointed. He cursed his want of money and cursed all the rounds he had stood, particularly all the whiskies and Apolinaris which he had stood to Weathers. If there was one thing that he hated it was a sponge. He was so angry that he lost count of the conversation of his friends.
When Paddy Leonard called him he found that they were talking about feats of strength. Weathers was showing his biceps muscle to the company and boasting so much that the other two had called on Farrington to uphold the national honour. Farrington pulled up his sleeve accordingly and showed his biceps muscle to the company. The two arms were examined and compared and finally it was agreed to have a trial of strength. The table was cleared and the two men rested their elbows on it, clasping hands. When Paddy Leonard said "Go!" each was to try to bring down the other's hand on to the table. Farrington looked very serious and determined.
The trial began. After about thirty seconds Weathers brought his opponent's hand slowly down on to the table. Farrington's dark wine-coloured face flushed darker still with anger and humiliation at having been defeated by such a stripling.
"You're not to put the weight of your body behind it. Play fair," he said.
"Who's not playing fair?" said the other.
"Come on again. The two best out of three."
The trial began again. The veins stood out on Farrington's forehead, and the pallor of Weathers' complexion changed to peony. Their hands and arms trembled under the stress. After a long struggle Weathers again brought his opponent's hand slowly on to the table. There was a murmur of applause from the spectators. The curate, who was standing beside the table, nodded his red head towards the victor and said with stupid familiarity:
"Ah! that's the knack!"
"What the hell do you know about it?" said Farrington fiercely, turning on the man. "What do you put in your gab for?"
"Sh, sh!" said O'Halloran, observing the violent expression of Farrington's face. "Pony up, boys. We'll have just one little smahan more and then we'll be off."
A very sullen-faced man stood at the corner of O'Connell Bridge waiting for the little Sandymount tram to take him home. He was full of smouldering anger and revengefulness. He felt humiliated and discontented; he did not even feel drunk; and he had only twopence in his pocket. He cursed everything. He had done for himself in the office, pawned his watch, spent all his money; and he had not even got drunk. He began to feel thirsty again and he longed to be back again in the hot reeking public-house. He had lost his reputation as a strong man, having been defeated twice by a mere boy. His heart swelled with fury and, when he thought of the woman in the big hat who had brushed against him and said Pardon! his fury nearly choked him.
His tram let him down at Shelbourne Road and he steered his great body along in the shadow of the wall of the barracks. He loathed returning to his home. When he went in by the side-door he found the kitchen empty and the kitchen fire nearly out. He bawled upstairs:
"Ada! Ada!"
His wife was a little sharp-faced woman who bullied her husband when he was sober and was bullied by him when he was drunk. They had five children. A little boy came running down the stairs.
"Who is that?" said the man, peering through the darkness.
"Me, pa."
"Who are you? Charlie?"
"No, pa. Tom."
"Where's your mother?"
"She's out at the chapel."
"That's right…. Did she think of leaving any dinner for me?"
"Yes, pa. I—"
"Light the lamp. What do you mean by having the place in darkness? Are the other children in bed?"
The man sat down heavily on one of the chairs while the little boy lit the lamp. He began to mimic his son's flat accent, saying half to himself: "At the chapel. At the chapel, if you please!" When the lamp was lit he banged his fist on the table and shouted:
"What's for my dinner?"
"I'm going… to cook it, pa," said the little boy.
The man jumped up furiously and pointed to the fire.
"On that fire! You let the fire out! By God, I'll teach you to do that again!"
He took a step to the door and seized the walking-stick which was standing behind it.
"I'll teach you to let the fire out!" he said, rolling up his sleeve in order to give his arm free play.
The little boy cried "O, pa!" and ran whimpering round the table, but the man followed him and caught him by the coat. The little boy looked about him wildly but, seeing no way of escape, fell upon his knees.
"Now, you'll let the fire out the next time!" said the man striking at him vigorously with the stick. "Take that, you little whelp!"
The boy uttered a squeal of pain as the stick cut his thigh. He clasped his hands together in the air and his voice shook with fright.
"O, pa!" he cried. "Don't beat me, pa! And I'll… I'll say a Hail Mary for you…. I'll say a Hail Mary for you, pa, if you don't beat me…. I'll say a Hail Mary…."
The Essence of Archaism (Guillaume Faye)
Excerpted from L'Archéofuturisme (Paris: L'Aencre, 1998). by Guillaume Faye
Guillaume Faye, born in 1949, was, along with Alain de Benoist, one of principal organizers of GRECE (Groupement de Recherche et d'Etude sur la Civilisation Européenne) and of the New Right, which he left 1986, reproaching his former colleagues for their increasing timidity and sterile intellectualism. Preferring to follow his own path as agitator and Nietzschean provocateur, he has recently published in rapid succession L'Archéofuturisme (1998), La colonisation de l'Europe (2000), and Pourquoi nous combattons (2001).
In Archéofuturisme Faye envisages, sometime within the next two decades, a large-scale civilizational crisis, provoked by what which he calls a "convergence of catastrophes." For the post-crisis world Faye proposes, in terms that at times recall the Italian Futurists of the early twentieth century, the construction of a European Empire founded on essential, archaic values and on a bold, aggressive exploitation of science and technology: hence the concept of "archeofuturism," the re-emergence of archaic social configurations in a new context.
It is probable that only after the catastrophe which will bring down modernity, its world-wide saga and its global ideology, that an alternate vision of the world will necessarily impose itself. No one will have had the foresight and the courage to apply it before chaos erupted. It is thus our responsibility — we who live, as Giorgio Locchi put it, in the interregnum — to prepare, from this moment forward, a post-catastrophic conception of the world. It could be centered on archeofuturism. But we must give content to this concept.
It is necessary, first, to return the word "archaic" to its true meaning, which, in its Greek etymon archê, is positive and non-pejorative, signifying both "foundation" and "beginning" — that is, "founding impetus." Archê also means "that which is creative and immutable" and refers to the central concept of "order." To attend to the "archaic" does not imply a backward-looking nostalgia, for the past produced egalitarian modernity, which has run aground, and thus any historical regression would be absurd. It is modernity itself that now belongs to a bygone past.Is "archaism" a form of traditionalism? Yes and no. Traditionalism advocates the transmission of values and, correctly, combats the doctrines of the tabula rasa. But it all depends on which traditions are transmitted. Not every tradition is acceptable — for example, we reject those of universalist and egalitarian ideologies or those which are fixed, ossified, demotivating. It is surely preferable to distinguish from among various traditions (transmitted values) those which are positive and those which are detrimental.
The issues that disturb the contemporary world and threaten egalitarian modernity with catastrophe are already archaic: the religious challenge of Islam; geopolitical contests for scarce resources, agricultural land, oil, fisheries; the North-South conflict and colonizing immigration into the Northern hemisphere; global pollution and the physical clash of empirical reality against the ideology of development. All these issues plunge us back into age-old questions, consigning to oblivion the quasi-theological political debates of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, which were little more than idle talk about the sex of angels.
Moreover, as the philosopher Raymond Ruyer, detested by the left-bank intelligentsia, foretold in his two important works, Les nuisances idéologiques and Les cents prochains siècles, once the historical digression of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries has finally closed, with egalitarianism's hallucinations having descended into catastrophe, humanity will return to archaic values, that is, quite simply, to biological and human (anthropological) values: distinctive sexual roles; the transmission of ethnic and popular traditions; spirituality and sacerdotal organization; visible and supervisory social hierarchies; the worship of ancestors; initiatory rites and tests; the reconstruction of organic communities that extend from the individual family unit to the overarching national community of the people; the deindividualization of marriage to involve the community as much as the couple; the end of the confusion of eroticism and conjugality; the prestige of the warrior caste; social inequality, not implicit, which is unjust and frustrating, as in today's egalitarian utopias, but explicit and ideologically justifiable; a proportioned balance of duties and rights; a rigorous justice whose dictates are applied strictly to acts and not to individual men, which will encourage a sense of responsibility in the latter; a definition of the people and of any constituted social body as a diachronic community of shared destiny, not as a synchronic mass of individual atoms, etc.
In short, future centuries, in the great pendulum movement of history that Nietzsche called "the eternal recurrence of the identical," will in some way revisit these archaic values. The problem for us, for Europeans, is not, through our cowardice, to allow Islam to impose them on us, a process which is surreptitiously occurring, but to reimpose them on ourselves, while drawing upon our historical memory.
Recently, an important French press baron — whom I cannot name, but known for his left-liberal sympathies — made to me, in essence, the following disillusioned remark: "Free-market economic values are gradually losing out to Islamic values, because they are exclusively based on individual economic profit, which is inhuman and ephemeral." Our task is to ensure that the inevitable return to reality is not imposed upon us by Islam.
Obviously, contemporary ideology, hegemonic today but not for much longer, regards these values as diabolical, much as a mad paranoiac might see the features of a demon in the psychiatrist trying to cure him. In reality, they are the values of justice. True to human nature from time immemorial, these archaic values reject the Enlightenment error of the emancipation of the individual, which has only ended in the isolation of this individual and in social barbarism. These archaic values are just, in the Ancient Greek sense of the term, because they take man for what he is, a zoon politicon ("a social and organic animal integrated into a communatarian city-state"), and not for what he is not, an isolated and asexual atom fitted out with universal but imprescriptible pseudo-rights.
In practical terms, archaism's anti-individualist values permit self-realization, active solidarity and social peace, unlike egalitarianism's pseudo-emancipating individualism, which ends in the law of the jungle.

text: Mercury Amalgam Fillings: Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics by Russell L. Blaylock, M.D. Recently I reported on the methodology and machinations involved in vaccine-related injury cover-ups by the elitists in science and government at the Simpsonwood Conference on Thimerosal in vaccines. A new scandal has been recently released concerning the safety of mercury contained in dental amalgam, which is of equal magnitude and again showing the modus operandi of the government/elitist scientist's coalition. The official name of the report is: Dental Amalgam: A Scientific Review and Recommended Public Health Service Strategy for Research, Education and Regulation. This report is described as the Trans-agency Working Group on the Health Effects of Dental Amalgam, which included representatives of the National Institutes of Health, the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U. S. Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Office of the Chief Dental Officer of the Public Health Service. These organizations requested that the Life Sciences Research Office (LSRO) as a subcontractor of BETAH Associates undertake an independent third-party review of the topic. BETAH received the contract from the Department of Health and Human Services without bidding, as is proscribed by law. To carry out this mandate, they were asked to consider peer-reviewed, primary scientific and medical literature published between January 1, 1996 and December 31, 2003 addressing this specific question. This begins our lesson in how to cover-up a major health disaster using scientific "evidence-based" methods meant to impress the media and public at large. In this review, I will consider only the Executive Summary, which is written for the media and the lay public. Overwhelm them with your credentials Students of this methodology will always be impressed ..." "WebMD should be called QuackMD So-called "orthodox medicine" likes to imply that traditional medical practice is based on hard scientific evidence, which they tout as "evidence-based medicine" and that everything outside their control is un-scientific. Several studies have shown that 80% or more of standard medical practice has no scientific basis whatsoever. WebMD posted on their website their take on this study, implying that it was definitive and based on hard science by the best experts in the world. Ironically, they have Cynthia Trajtenberg, a professor of restorative dentistry and dental biomaterials at the University of Texas Dental Branch at Houston, add her idiotic commentary. She resorts to the ADA's standby nonsense, which they used to brainwash their dental members over half a century ago. It goes like this: You can think of it like chlorine, which alone is a serious toxin, but when bound with sodium it becomes harmless salt. She goes on to say, "It's the same with mercury. Mercury in dental fillings is combined with silver and copper, and is transformed into a stable metal material that is not easily released into the oral cavity. Therefore it is not harmful." This laughable nonsense is not even endorsed by the report, which clearly says that the mercury vapor easily escapes the filling and is absorbed into the blood by way of the tissues of the mouth and lungs. She obviously slept through her chemistry courses. Sodium chloride is a compound, bound by strong ionic bonds. Amalgam is a mixture of metals not in an ionic state. Metallic mercury has a very low evaporation temperature and readily turns into a vapor. This is "hard science". Why would WebMD, which professes to be "evidence-based", print such obvious idiocy easily exposed by even freshmen in high school? Could it be that they are prejudiced against the idea of amalgam toxicity? Or perhaps, could it be that the editors have friends in the dental community who asked for their help against "charlatans" in alternative medicine? It is obvious that little in the way of "hard science" is in evidence." Conclusions: This is just another piece of "junk science" to come out of the government/ industry coalition. An avalanche of such phony studies have descended from some prestigious institutions such as the Institute of Medicine, Health and Human Services, CDC, Life Sciences Research Office, FDA, etc. By cleverly restricting the information (scientific research), excluding real experts in the area in question and by forcefully implying clear cut conclusions when none exist, they deceive the media and public. In all of these studies they provide the media with an Executive Summary, which often has conclusions that are opposite what was shown in the body of the report, knowing that the media are often too lazy or not sophisticated enough to understand the subtleties of the science being discussed. As a result, the public is assured that dental amalgam is perfectly safe and that the question has been carefully examined by some of the best scientific minds in the world in every way the issue could be examined. In essence, the issue is closed. How many times do we have to face a medical disaster resulting from this errant thinking before we learn? While I have analyzed only the Executive Summary and not the body of the report, this Executive Summary is what will reach the public. The LSRO is charging $75 for the report itself if you include the references. This is outrageous for a study funded by taxpayer monies, printed on a computer. But then they hope none of their critics will ever read the report."

Justin Timberlake on the Oscars' Red Carpet Justin Timberlake at the Academy Awards The Social Network actor Justin Timberlake arrives at the 83rd Academy Awards, which took place on Sunday, Feb. 27, at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood. At the ceremony, Timberlake and Black Swan actress Mila Kunis introduced the nominees – and eventual winners – in the animation categories. Throughout the proceedings, he pretended to be the elusive Banksy, whose Exit Through the Gift Shop was a Best Documentary Feature contender. The joke fell mostly flat, but Timberlake actually elicited some laughs when he imitated three-time Oscar-nominated veteran Kirk Douglas*, who mercilessly stretched the Best Supporting Actress announcement into what seemed like hours. Admittedly, Douglas was funny. (The winner in that particular category turned out to be Melissa Leo for David O. Russell's The Fighter.) As announced by the Justin Timberlake-Mila Kunis duo, the Best Animated Short Film was Shaun Tan »

How it all began
The European Championship Board games has a long and rich history. It all started back in 1976 when KRONE, a German cigarette company, founded a games club. In 1977 the first championship for individual players was held in Berlin, followed in 1978 with a championship in Ostsee. This was the last championship for individuals.
Sven M. Kübler participated at the championships in Ostsee and encountered there the joy of tournament play. But he also noticed, that there was a drawback with a tournament type for individuals in the sense that luck dominates the championships. A tournament with teams would eliminate the luck factor significantly.
In the early years of SPIEL in Essen when it was still held in the ""Volkshochschule"", a school building, Sven was able to convince the organizer Friedhelm Merz that the SPIEL would be the ideal convention to organize the German championships. In 1983 the first German championship was held and 20 teams participated. Much was learned from this first tournament and the years after the chaos remained, but the planning improved and the tournament developed. In 1987 Sven decided to stop with the organization of the German championships. In 1988 the SPIEL did not hosted the German championships anymore, but instead Friedhelm Merz decided to have an European championship organised. This tournament was founded under the name Intergame. In the first years Peter Janshoff set the base and on a later stage Peter Gehrmann, followed by Ferdinand de Cassan, continued the tournament.
In 1993 Friedhelm Merz requested Sven to take over the organization of Intergame. In the six years to come Intergame attracted each year 24 teams from different European countries to compete for the European title. In the meantime SPIEL has grown out to the largest game fair in Europe and was no longer located at the ""Volkshochschule"" but at the convention hall in Essen. Unfortunately this has lead to an increase of costs to organize the championships. Also other tournaments were organized, consuming available budget of potential sponsors. Therefore in 1998 the last Intergame was held.
Ronald van Lent participated with the "Flying Dutchmen" in the 1997 and 1998 edition of the Intergame. After the news that Intergame was not to be organized anymore, he decided to pick up the gauntlet. With the support of Sven a restart of the championships took place in 2000 at the Gen Con Benelux convention in the Netherlands. A new name is introduced: EuropeMasters. Though a new name is introduced, the tournament structure remained the same. And the restart was a big success and exceeded any expectations. Since 2001 EuropeMasters moved to the Spellenspektakel, the largest game fair in the Benelux. In 2003, after an absence of 4 years, the European Championship is finally returning to the Spiel in Essen. And hopefully there to stay!
With the qualification rounds and national championships throughout Europe taken into account, an estimated amount of more than 2000 players are involved and compete to take part at EuropeMasters where only one team can be the winner of the European title. The 2004 edition was a special edition, as it was the 5th anniversary of the EuropeMasters with 25 teams (100 players) participating from UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Suisse, Austria, Italy and Czech Republic. In 2009 we celebrated our 10th year anniversary with a total of 34 teams (136 players!), including players of Scandinavia: Finland and Sweden….and this is not the final goal, each year the number of players as nationalities participating is growing.
The edition of 2012 consisted of 32 teams participating from the following countries: UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Italy, Czech Republic, Finland, Sweden, Norway and newcomers Russia and Canada.
For 2013 also contacts has been established with potential participants from the USA and South Africa.

I verified the MD5 before I even tried installing. From the error message I'm guessing there is an issue with reading my build prop file so was hoping for some insight.
OK turns out the issue appears to be with CWM Touch. I switched to Chainfire's old style CWM and it works as expected.

Libya's GNMTC confirms cruise ship order |
Thursday, 01 July 2010 16:17 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Less than a month after creating widespread surprise by signing a letter of intent with STX France for construction of a cruise ship, Libya's General National Maritime Transport Corporation (GNMTC) has placed a firm order for the vessel. French transport secretary Dominique Bussereau broke the news on June 30, announcing that he had been in Tripoli earlier in the day to witness the signing, which had apparently been kept a closely guarded secret. A little later, STX France confirmed the minister's announcement, saying that delivery of the 1,739-cabin vessel was scheduled for December 2012. It said that state-owned GNMTC, which currently operates a fleet of 24 oil and gas tankers, was moving into cruise shipping to expand its activity. "We are pleased to welcome this new client to our Saint Nazaire shipyard and so to contribute to the expansion of GNMTC's activities," said STX France chief executive Jacques Hardelay. As announced when the letter of intent was signed on June 4, the 139,400-tonne vessel promises to be comparable to the 'MSC Fantasia' and 'MSC Splendida', which were delivered by STX France to MSC Cruises in December 2008 and July 2009. It will be 333 metres long and 38 metres wide and will offer 732 crew cabins, as well as the 1,739 passenger cabins. Total passenger capacity is expected to be about 4,000. The order is particularly welcome news for STX France where activity has run down drastically since delivery of NCL's 'Norwegian Epic' in mid-June. The company has begun work on a new 1,751-cabin vessel for MSC Cruises despite the fact that financing of the order has still to be finalised. That vessel is scheduled for delivery in mid-2012. The only other vessel currently under construction at the yard is a helicopter carrier for the French navy, ordered in April last year. Drawing attention to the role played by the French government in obtaining the latest orders, Mr. Bussereau said, "These three orders enable the Saint Nazaire shipyard to assure the future of French shipbuilding in a context of crisis." - Andrew Spurrier

It is a pretty nice club with good music and always fresh air, because the fasade to the ocean is open, so that there is always a cool brise.
The unique quality is the location right at the beach. You can hear the curls when the music stopps for a second.
Dress Code: no dress code at all!! -
Most of the nightlife...
Most of the nightlife concentrates itself in Kuta. Many discos and bars are to be found here. In the more quiet place Sanur at the beach are not many discos, but many life music and night dances to be seen and heard.
On the picture: the nightly firedance. -
The best spot for night life is probably Bali at least if you are interested in all the night life activites you are used to. Not that Jakarta or Ygya do not offer any place where to dance or else, it's just that Bali is the most touristically developed, so it is definitly the place for nightlife.

Ramayana Ballet
My friend Geraldine and I happened to visit Yogya during the dry season and were lucky enough to attend the performances (only 4 successive nights; twice each month from May to Oct. yearly) of the Ramayana Ballet held at the outdoor theatre in Prambanan and it certainly is the most spectacular dance-drama I've ever seen. With the Shiva Temple as a backdrop, the 3-hr ballet performance from 7-10pm comprised of more than 100 dancers and gamelan musicians taking part in a spectacle depicting the story of Rama, a gentle husband, a kindly king and his wife Sita.

It has been, and continues to be, an honor and a privilege to serve the people of Soldotna. I believe that Soldotna is a vibrant and growing community with lots of potential. It is exciting to be a part of the process to help realize that potential as we move forward.
I have been a runner for forty years, and one of my favorite places to run is on our Tsalteshi Trails system. I'm very proud of our trails, and have been very supportive as they have grown and improved. This year we've been blessed with a long fall season, which makes the running out there even better.
That being said, I won't run out there again. Three weeks ago, I was the victim of an unprovoked attack by two unleashed dogs while finishing my morning run, which resulted in two hours in the emergency room.
It has been an honor and a privilege to have served the people of the greater Soldotna area both in my former profession and as a previously elected council and assembly member. I have found that being a local elected official is a way to give back to the community, and after a year of reflection, I am seeking to serve on the Soldotna City Council once again.

Title | Retrying the Acquitted in England, Part I: The Exception to the Rule Against Double Jeopardy for New and Compelling Evidence |
Author(s) | David S. Rudstein |
First Page | 387 |
Abstract | More than 240 years ago, Sir William Blackstone, perhaps the most important commentator on the English common law, wrote that when a man is once fairly found not guilty upon any indictment, or other prosecution, before any court having competent jurisdiction of the offence, he may plead such acquittal in bar of any subsequent accusation for the same crime. This plea of autrefois acquit (a former acquittal), Blackstone explained, is based upon the principle that no man is to be brought into jeopardy of his life, more than once for the same offence, which he called a universal maxim of the common law of England. Yet, notwithstanding this long-established principle barring double jeopardy, on September 11, 2006, William Billy Dunlop was convicted of the murder of Julie Hogg, a crime for which he had been acquitted nearly fifteen years earlier. Retrial of Dunlop was permissible under an exception to the rule against double jeopardy created by Parliament in a statute enacted in 2003. That statute, the Criminal Justice Act 2003, allows an acquitted person's protection against double jeopardy to be withdrawn for certain serious offenses when there is new and compelling evidence against [him] and permits the government to retry the individual despite his previous trial and acquittal for the same offense. In doing so, the statute creates a revolutionary new power in the Court of Appeal and extinguishes the centuries old common-law rule against double jeopardy, hereby rescinding [p]erhaps the most fundamental rule in the history of double jeopardy jurisprudence. In this article, I will discuss the wisdom of the statute in light of the policies underlying the protection against double jeopardy. The issue is an important one because there is movement in some other common law jurisdictions to follow the lead of England and create a similar exception to traditional double jeopardy principles. |

Abraham Lincoln Created The Secret Service The Day He Was Shot
2013-01-04 0:00
On April 14, 1865, Abraham Lincoln was shot at Fords Theater in Washington, D.C. Hed die the next morning.
But also on April 14, 1865, Lincoln signed into law a piece of legislation which created the Secret Service the law enforcement agency charged with defending the President from, among other things, assassination attempts such as the one that befell Lincoln that evening. Was Lincoln also a victim of bad timing? Perhaps he had ESP? Not really rather, its a strange historical coincidence. While we currently think of the Secret Service as primarily existing to protect the President, that was not its original intent.
During the early to mid-1800s, roughly a third of American money was counterfeit. The solution was something similar to todays approach to large scale problems form a commission. On the urging of Secretary of the Treasury Hugh McCulloch, Lincoln did exactly that. The conclusion was to form a federal law enforcement division (at the time, there was no FBI), the Secret Service of Division of the Department of the Treasury. That Division was born just hours before John Wilkes Booth fatally shot the President.
The Secret Service carried out their Treasury duties, primarily, for the next 35 years. While Lincolns assassination sparked a discussion about the need for a permanent security detail for the President, this need went unfulfilled for decades. In the interim period, both James A. Garfield (1881) and William McKinley (1901) were assassinated. The latter caused Congress to work toward a solution, and, informally, Presidential security became a duty of the Service starting with McKinleys successor, Theodore Roosevelt.

Lincolns Missing Bodyguard
By Paul Martin|
When a celebrity-seeking couple crashed a White House state dinner last November, the issue of presidential security dominated the news. The Secret Service responded by putting three of its officers on administrative leave and scrambled to reassure the public that it takes the job of guarding the president very seriously. We put forth the maximum effort all the time, said Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan.
That kind of dedication to safeguarding the president didnt always exist. It wasnt until 1902 that the Secret Service, created in 1865 to eradicate counterfeit currency, assumed official full-time responsibility for protecting the president. Before that, security for the president could be unbelievably lax. The most astounding example was the scant protection afforded Abraham Lincoln on the night he was assassinated. Only one man, an unreliable Washington cop named John Frederick Parker, was assigned to guard the president at Fords Theatre on April 14, 1865.
Today its hard to believe that a single policeman was Lincolns only protection, but 145 years ago the situation wasnt that unusual. Lincoln was cavalier about his personal safety, despite the frequent threats he received and a near-miss attempt on his life in August 1864, as he rode a horse unescorted. Hed often take in a play or go to church without guards, and he hated being encumbered by the military escort assigned to him. Sometimes he walked alone at night between the White House and the War Department, a distance of about a quarter of a mile.
John Parker was an unlikely candidate to guard a presidentor anyone for that matter. Born in Frederick County, Virginia, in 1830, Parker moved to Washington as a young man, originally earning his living as a carpenter. He became one of the capitals first officers when the Metropolitan Police Force was organized in 1861. Parkers record as a cop fell somewhere between pathetic and comical. He was hauled before the police board numerous times, facing a smorgasbord of charges that should have gotten him fired. But he received nothing more than an occasional reprimand. His infractions included conduct unbecoming an officer, using intemperate language and being drunk on duty. Charged with sleeping on a streetcar when he was supposed to be walking his beat, Parker declared that hed heard ducks quacking on the tram and had climbed aboard to investigate. The charge was dismissed. When he was brought before the board for frequenting a whorehouse, Parker argued that the proprietress had sent for him.
In November 1864, the Washington police force created the first permanent detail to protect the president, made up of four officers. Somehow, John Parker was named to the detail. Parker was the only one of the officers with a spotty record, so it was a tragic coincidence that he drew the assignment to guard the president that evening. As usual, Parker got off to a lousy start that fateful Friday. He was supposed to relieve Lincolns previous bodyguard at 4 p.m. but was three hours late.
Lincolns party arrived at the theater at around 9 p.m. The play, Our American Cousin, had already started when the president entered his box directly above the right side of the stage. The actors paused while the orchestra struck up Hail to the Chief. Lincoln bowed to the applauding audience and took his seat.
Parker was seated outside the presidents box, in the passageway beside the door. From where he sat, Parker couldnt see the stage, so after Lincoln and his guests settled in, he moved to the first gallery to enjoy the play. Later, Parker committed an even greater folly: At intermission, he joined the footman and coachman of Lincolns carriage for drinks in the Star Saloon next door to Fords Theatre.
John Wilkes Booth entered the theater around 10 p.m. Ironically, hed also been in the Star Saloon, working up some liquid courage.

Lawyers: Use the Peer Endorsements section to provide input about other attorneys.
I had just recently returned from my Second tour of duty in Iraq and I was looking for an attorney that could help me in Expunging or Sealing my CORI from past. I came upon Mr. Corbos website and sent him off an E-mail early on a Sunday morning, to my surprise he wrote me back shortly afterward and stated he was working in the office and could meet me that day or any day that was conveient, I set up an appointment for the very next day and met him at 1300.
Mr. Corbo was friendly, personable and easy to talk to, I felt at ease and comfortable while he immediatley started looking over my CORI to see what he could do for me. Mr. Corbo and I spoke awhile and he came to the conclusion that I could handle the case by myself, he felt the sealing of my records did not warrant his expertise, but offered his services if I did have any trouble with my mission. Mr. Corbo had printed some very helpful information and the proper form for me prior to our appointment and gave them to me at no charge, he also sent me valuable web site links via E-mail that contained a wealth of information again at no charge. When I left Mr. Corbos office I felt as if I had known him for years and was glad that I had driven up from Cape Cod to meet with him! I highly recommend Mr. Corbo and if heaven forbid I need an Attorney in the future I will be sure to call him.
P.S. He says he's full blooded Italian, but looks 100% Irish Lad!! He's a good guy!
I would just like people to known not only is Jim Corbo a wonderful attorney, he also is a wonderful caring man. He represented my son, not only did he go above and beyond, he was always available to answer any questions and also put my mind at ease. As a single mother that meant so much to me, he acted like my sons was his only case, I will always be greatful to Mr. Corbo.
