Here were are again. You and I. Reading my accomplishments but never really saying anything. Regardless of our issues in the past there's something exciting I'd love to share with each and every one of you. So, yesterday whilst handling paperwork passed down from King Vasilias the mighty Alceus Sol finally figured out my scheme to take full control of Mount Olympus. Startled at first the kingdom was rocked by controversy. Placed into a battle against an incredible foe there was no time to spare I fought for my freedom. And the result was most rewarding.
Follow the LeaderMy name is Clarice Michelle Dorian. I am the Empress of Iberia. I am the leader of thee Al-Qasim movement within Nippon. I am a mother of a lovely son. I am a loyal and respectful wife. I am everything you desire and hate wrapped up in a curvaceous frame. Don't worry jealously is certainly humane. Nevertheless I must tell you of what occurred just twenty-seven hours ago. You see I used my reality-powers many have taught me to forget because at times it can cause malicious side effects. However, my life was in danger and when push comes to shove there's got to be some sort of mental compromise. And so I broke an oath and charged forward like a valiant knight. Fighting like a common mongrel but don't worry I was definitely victorious. Love me, hate me, say what you want about me but the Olympian Champion has fallen by the flawless hands of Clara Mass. It's quite funny really. At first I poor little Park died, than I banned Victor Grey, made Closure a better man, and now I've destroyed one of my most deadliest foes. His entire essence trapped within my gorgeous necklace. Mine to contain forever and ever in my immortal life. So sad and too bad ladies because he's all mine at all times. Where art thou Helena? I suppose lost that's for sure. Distraught and missing in action is my former best friend. Possibly training for an inevitable battle between she and I or is it me. Excuse my grammatical error. I tend to become overzealous when overjoyed.
Well back to the topic at hand my future peasants. Perplexed and frazzled my king apologized to me. How concerned he was of my physical and mental health. I told him. I told him twice. I told him thrice. Alceus and Helena Sol were no good, no good for the kingdom of Olympus. Together we embraced in a simplistic hug but the poor old far fell to his knees. Sickness consumed his godly bloodstream, wondering what could of happened to a fellow so eternal, but sadly I could not act any longer. I cracked a chuckle and revealed my master plan. Debriefing him of all the torture and abuse the Gods had given me since birth. I told him of my destiny and how Olympus was the first step. Ha! He knew to much so I slit his throat. Ended his life inside the throne room. Not a single soul refused my coronation. Too many allies outlawed the naysayers. Crowned by Aphrodite and praised by plenty. Bow before your new Queen. I am your leader now. Although my strength is limited to a single realm for now, I guarantee some surprising new developments to arrive soon enough. Until than sweethearts please show your affection by chanting my name or writing me a letter of congratulations because I'll be your Queen for centuries to come.

As a new beginner to BJJ (about a month) I do find it rather disgusting that some slob declared that he had a black belt in it when it is most likely that I have more BJJ experience than him. However, to anyone from a 3rd party perspective (no martial arts training - the laymen) your actions and strong passion in rooting out this man's fraud may seem overzealous and overreacting.
I only say this because look at the world today. We have had people like David Koresh running around claiming he's Jesus. We have wackos who dress up in question mark blazers on late nite TV commercials claiming their book has all the answers to getting all these monies from the government. We have people all over the world claiming that they are faithful to their spouse when theyre sleeping with their secretaries.
People make claims that are unfounded. Yes they hurt. Yes they encourage others to make the same unfounded claims. Will it ever stop? No. Is BJJ immune? No. In fact I'm rather relieved at signs of bullshido in BJJ - that means that BJJ is truly worth something, to the point where ppl will say anything to gain that sort of ranking status. Will it get to the point where so many BJJ Bullshidoers make it into the next TKD? Not while the Gracies and Machados carry on their proud traditions. Not while MMA and full contact sports present the true realities of fighting and the value of BJJ. And definitely not while BULLSHIDO.NET blazes the internet.

I do get the impression he wants to market himself as an instructor, which really isn't good for any of us. Look at baseball - government will step in to regulate a community that doesn't regulate itself.
So yeah, he should be exposed, if he's truly a fraud.
I think, though, an email first to Miletich may have been more appropriate - he does claim to have chosen U of I because he'd trained there (Miletich Fighting Systems) several times, and they're only about an hour away. Kind of their back yard. Since he's claiming to be a MMA instructor, they might have somtheing to lose if he, through negligent coaching, get's somebody fucked up.

How do these bullshit coaches end up working out? How do they end up surviving if their fighters keep losing?
EDIT: This is similar to my argument for why BJJ is bullshido-resistant. There is a community of people who are more than qualified and willing (like Rob Kahn) to check their claims, and challenge them if necessary.

The problem here is that everyone has labeled him a fraud without anyone having verified his credentials yet. Yes, it does look fishy but an investigation is needed, which Rob is doing with his e-mail, before all these accusations and comments are made - because if he turns out to be legit it really makes the site look bad and childish and hurts Bullshido's credibility.
I don't think BJJ will go full blown Bullshido or McDojo as much as you'll have the occasional unqualified person teaching it, just like you have "bad" boxing coaches out there.
These arts will be always be based on performance and the "You didn't follow my instructions" and "you need to train harder" excuses is only going to fly for so long before people wise up.
This is different than TMA/TKD places which can survive forever based on the "too deadly" principle - because the theories put forth will never be tested.

Style: Royce Gracie Black Belt--
The art of Gracie jiu jitsu is still small and growing in this country. there are only a very small number of americans who got their black belt from the gacie family as he claims. he didnt say "belt belt in BJJ" he said Blackbelt from the gracie family. Royce,Relson,ralph,renzo,ceasar,rodrigo, royler,carlson, and the rest of the family, due to the little time BJJ has been in the US, made only a dozen or two black belts. I dont think its possible that I would not, at some time, have heard his name mention somewhere.
--Originally Posted by TylerDurden
There are several more BJJ schools in Kentucky, but most of them are in the Western half. The only Black Belts I know of that are close to Kentucky are both in Indiana. One is in Evansville, the other is in Terre Haute.
This guy could have started taking BJJ in Lexington and continued at Vandy. I believe there are some decent schools in and around the Nasvhille area.
HOWEVER, his comment about being one of two GJJ Black Belts in the US makes his entire story questionable.
Also, his MMA story is pretty suspect. Sherdog is pretty meticulous about keeping up professional fight records, and it would be challenging, to say the least, to find conclusive evidence of any amateur mma involvement.
The newbie calls bullshido.

Other than the Lexington area BJJ there is Knoxville, TN which has a few BJJ schools located there as well. If someone can get a Gracie name, I can get with my brother and try to find out which schools are affiliated with whom. He's contacted several for training, costs and such and I believe has kept up with who is who in the town lately.

Before the First World War moving between countries could be a surprisingly casual affair. There were such things as passports, but they were not compulsory, and even for those people who held one, the surviving records are disappointingly sparse. We receive lots of enquiries from people whose ancestors migrated into or out of the United Kingdom, and we often have to disappoint them because there is no record of their arrival or departure.
Some people who came and settled here went to the trouble and expense of becoming naturalised, and we have some very good records for them. Unfortunately many others did not, because they had no good reason to do so, and there was no barrier to their staying and settling without being naturalised in this period. When the subject of nationality came up in the census, some people claimed they were naturalised, but we have no record that they were. The likely explanation is that many simply misunderstood the question, but there is no way of knowing for certain. Interestingly, in the 1911 census most seem to have told the truth, because this year there was an extra question; they were asked for the year in which they became naturalised. This made it clear that there must be some kind of official process, and a request for such specific information introduces the subtle suggestion that someone might actually check.

We Should Get to Decide How the Government Spends our Taxes
In his 1992 Republican National Convention speech, President George H. W. Bush proposed letting taxpayers commit up to 10 percent of their payment to reducing the national debt. The proposal never went anywhere, but it points to a good idea: Taxpayers should be able to designate how their tax dollars are spent. Already, we allow for this in very limited ways. A check-off at the top of the 1040 form invites every taxpayer to direct $3 of their federal tax to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund (only 6 percent of taxpayers do). In Virginia, my VAC invites me to contribute additional funds to more than 100 organizations ranging from the Democratic and Republican parties to the U.S. Olympic Committee, the Virginia Arts Foundation, and many local school and library funds.
Why not take this one step further? Why shouldn't taxpayers make direct decisions about how much money they want to spend on other government programs, like paying off the national debt, the war in Iraq or the National Endowment for the Arts? This would force the federal government to focus time and resources on projects citizens actually want, not just efforts that appeal to special interests.
To do this, we'd have to expand the concept of the campaign financing checkoff to all government programs. With this reform, the real expression of popular democracy would take place not every four years but every April 15. A new final page of the 1040 form would be created, called 1040-D (for democracy). At the top, the taxpayer would write in his total tax as determined by the 1040 form. Following would be a list of government programs, along with the percentage of the federal budget devoted to each (as proposed by Congress and the president). The taxpayer would then multiply that percentage by his total tax to determine the "amount requested" in order to meet the government's total spending request. (Computerization of tax returns has made this step simple.) The taxpayer would then consider that request and enter the amount he was willing to pay for that program in the final column–the amount requested by the government, or more, or less, down to zero.
"The case for letting taxpayers choose whether their money goes to schools or the police or Medicaid."
A taxpayer who thinks that $600 billion is too much to spend on military in the post-Cold War era could choose to allocate less to that function than the government requested. A taxpayer who thinks that Congress has been underfunding Head Start and the arts could allocate double the requested amount for those programs.
There would be quite a bit of debate, of course, over how to list programs in the 1040-D program. Spending interests would want to use broad categories–national defense, health, education, job training. Opponents of spending would prefer to narrow the categories so taxpayers can see what they're really buying– defense of Japan and Korea, war in Iraq, farm subsidies, mass-transit "demonstration" projects in West Virginia, and so on. Libertarians and the arts establishment might agree on listing just "arts," while the religious right might lobby to have the category broken into "fine arts," "pork-barrel arts," and "obscene art." Language would be an issue — "corporate welfare" or "loans for small businesses"?
Real budget democracy, of course, means not just that the taxpayers can decide where their money will go but also that they can decide how much of their money the government is entitled to. Thus the last line on the 1040-D form must be "Tax refund." The form would indicate that none of the taxpayer's duly calculated tax should be refunded to him; but under budget democracy the taxpayer would have the right to allocate less than the amount requested for some or all programs in order to claim a refund (beyond whatever excess withholding is already due him).
Entitlements would be the biggest problem. About 60 percent of the federal budget now goes to entitlement programs. Medicare and Medicaid make up more than 20 percent of spending, and most of that comes from general revenues. Should taxpayers be able to withhold their hard-earned dollars from such programs? In a free society, they should. So how do we handle a shortage of funding? Congress could change the spending parameters to fit what the taxpayers are willing to supply. The budget democracy process could also include a provision allowing Congress by a two-thirds vote to override the taxpayers and insist on larger payments to pay for entitlements or other services deemed essential.
Then, instead of trying to decide which candidate might be telling the truth about his commitment to fiscal responsibility, the taxpayers could take matters into their own hands, finally being able to say effectively, "You're spending too much. We're cutting your budget."

More on Krugman's Missing Libertarians
I wrote last week about Paul Krugman's claim that "there basically aren't any libertarians" because "There ought in principle, you might think, be people who are pro-gay-marriage and civil rights in general, but opposed to government retirement and health care programs — that is, libertarians — but there are actually very few." I offered some evidence from Gallup, Pew, and other polls that in fact there are substantial numbers of voters who hold libertarian-ish views on both economic and social issues.
Bryan Caplan runs some regressions to find that voters' positions on a variety of issues don't line up the way Krugman assumes they do. Ilya Somin explores various problems with Krugman's claims, including this:
It's also possible to try to justify Krugman's claim by arguing that most of those people who hold seemingly libertarian views haven't thought carefully about their implications and are not completely consistent in their beliefs. This is likely true. But it is also true of most conservatives and liberals. Political ignorance and irrationality are very common across the political spectrum and only a small minority of voters think carefully about their views and make a systematic attempt at consistency. Libertarian-leaning voters are not an exception to this trend. But it is worth noting that, controlling for other variables, increasing political knowledge tends to make people more libertarian in their views than they would be otherwise.
Nate Silver, Krugman's erstwhile New York Times colleague who now runs the FiveThirtyEight website, writes, "There are few libertarians. But many Americans have libertarian views." He notes:
If Krugman is right, you should see few Americans who are in favor of same-sex marriage but oppose government efforts to reduce income inequality, or vice versa.
As it turns out, however, there are quite a number of them; about 4 in 10 Americans have "inconsistent" views on these issues.
Not actually inconsistent, of course, just not consistently "liberal" or "conservative." Those "inconsistent" Americans just might be consistently libertarian or anti-libertarian. Silver has a nice matrix, grounded in data from the General Social Survey unlike Krugman's off-the-cuff matrix:
On those two issues, the largest group take liberal positions on both. Substitute different issues – cutting taxes, say, or internet censorship – and you'd get larger numbers of libertarians. But whatever set of issues you choose, you're likely going to find significant numbers of voters taking positions that don't fit into Krugman's two boxes.
Silver speculates on why there seems to be so little political representation for these large groups of voters:
…the hard-core partisans who vote in presidential primaries are much more likely to take consistently liberal or conservative positions than the broader American population, as Krugman's colleague Nate Cohn points out.
And the parties themselves — who have disproportionate influence in the primaries — have highly partisan views by definition. Almost all voting in the U.S. Congress, on social issues and economic issues alike, can be reduced to a single, left-right dimension.
Does this make any sense? Why should views on (for example) gay marriage, taxation, and U.S. policy toward Iran have much of anything to do with one another? The answer is that it suits the Democratic Party and Republican Party's mutual best interest to articulate clear and opposing positions on these issues and to present their platforms as being intellectually coherent. The two-party system can come under threat (as it potentially now is in the United Kingdom) when views on important issues cut across party lines.
Maybe that's why we have so much trouble convincing people that there are libertarian voters.
Nate Silver looked at growing libertarian sentiment back in 2011.

Is Rand Paul Arnie Vinick?
Rand Paul might take some inspiration from the final season of NBC's late, lamented The West Wing. In that final 2005 season, presidential candidates battled to succeed President Jed Bartlet (Martin Sheen). The eventual nominees were Democratic Rep. Matthew Santos (Jimmy Smits) and Republican Sen. Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda).
Peter Funt, son and heir of Candid Camera creator Allen Funt, wrote in 2008 that the West Wing writers were in touch with Obama strategist David Axelrod as they created the Santos character, who was sort of a "test market" to "soften up millions of Americans for the task of electing the first minority president." And he noted that Obama's staffers "especially like the ending" of the West Wing plot, in which Santos narrowly defeats Vinick.
But Funt left out the part that might make Paul supporters optimistic. After the libertarianish Vinick got the Republican nomination, former Democratic strategist Bruno Giannelli (Ron Silver) went to him and told him that with his image he could win a landslide victory: You, he said, "are exactly where 60 percent of the voters are: Pro-choice, anti-partial birth, pro-death penalty, anti-tax, pro-environment and pro-business, pro-balanced budget."Now, that's not exactly Rand Paul's policy portfolio. But Paul's positions similarly cut across partisan divides and just might appeal to that same 60 percent majority.
The high point of the West Wing campaign was a debate that broke the rules of both presidential debates and television drama: The "candidates" threw out the usual formal debate rules and just questioned each other, and the actors improvised their questions and answers on live television from a partially written script. They actually did two live performances that night, for the East Coast and the West Coast.
In the debate, Vinick showed those center-libertarian colors against Santos's tired old big-government liberalism dressed up in appeals to hope. The morning after that debate aired on NBC, libertarian-leaning Republicans told each other, "if only a real candidate could articulate our values as well as a liberal actor did!"
Asked about creating jobs, Vinick declared, "Entrepreneurs create jobs. Business creates jobs. The President's job is to get out of the way."
On alternative energy:
I don't trust politicians to choose the right new energy sources. I believe in the free market. You know, the government didn't switch us from whale oil to the oil found under the ground. The market did that. And the government didn't make the Prius the hottest selling car in Hollywood. That was the market that did that. In L.A. now, the coolest thing you can drive is a hybrid. Well, if that's what the free market can do in the most car-crazed culture on Earth, then I trust the free market to solve our energy problems. You know, you know, the market can change the way we think. It can change what we want. Government can't do that. That's why the market has always been a better problem-solver than government and it always will be.
His closing statement:
Matt has more confidence in government than I do. I have more confidence in freedom — your freedom; your freedom to choose your child's school, your freedom to choose the car or truck that's right for you and your family, your freedom to spend or save your hard-earned money instead of having the government spend it for you. I'm not anti-government. I just don't want any more government than we can afford. We don't want government doing things it doesn't know how to do or doing things the private sector does better or throwing more money at failed programs because that's exactly what makes people lose faith in government.
And after the debate, a Zogby poll found that even among the young, liberal-skewing viewers of The West Wing, Vinick had crushed Santos. Before the episode, viewers between 18 and 29 preferred Santos over Vinick, 54 percent to 37 percent. But after the debate, Vinick led among viewers under age 30, 56 percent to 42 percent. Republicans can only dream of such numbers–unless maybe they try sounding like Arnie Vinick.
West Wing producers were taken aback by the reactions of real live "voters" to their real live debate. After seven years of heroically portraying the honest, decent, liberal President Jed Bartlet–-an idealized Bill Clinton who wouldn't take off his coat, much less his pants, in the Oval Office–-they weren't about to let a crotchety old Republican beat their handsome Hispanic hero. So they conjured up a meltdown in a nuclear power plant that Vinick had supported, and Santos won the election.
If only the Republicans could nominate another Arnie Vinick, with strong convictions and appeal to independents–and there's no nuclear meltdown–they might just find a majority in a presidential election.

Paul Krugman Can't Find Any Libertarians
Paul Krugman has a blog post at the New York Times that seems to be based on no research at all. But it has a snappy four-cell matrix so you'll know it's like real economics.
Krugman's argument is that "there basically aren't any libertarians." And here's the graph that proves it:
See how small the letters are in two of the boxes? That shows you that there aren't any people in those boxes. "There ought in principle, you might think, be people who are pro-gay-marriage and civil rights in general, but opposed to government retirement and health care programs — that is, libertarians — but there are actually very few." And there are also very few people who are "socially illiberal" and supportive of government social programs, he says.
But you know, there's research on this. David Kirby and I have done some of it, in studies on "the libertarian vote." But two political scientists examined a similar matrix back in 1984 and found roughly even numbers of people in each box.
Part of the trick here is that Krugman has used a vague term, "socially liberal," for one of the dimensions of the matrix, and a radical policy position, "no social insurance," for the other dimension. The logical way would be to use either common vague terms for both dimensions – say "socially liberal/conservative" and "fiscally liberal/conservative" – or specific and similarly radical terms for both dimensions, something like "no social insurance" and "repeal all drug laws." Wonder how many people would be in the boxes then?
"No social insurance" is a very radical position. Even many libertarians wouldn't support it. Like Hayek. So to find the divisions in our society, we might choose a specific issue of personal freedom – gay marriage, say – along with an equally controversial economic policy such as school choice or a constitutional amendment to balance the budget.
If you use either set of dimensions, it's pretty clear that you're going to get substantial numbers of libertarians (broadly speaking) and also of those incongruous creatures Krugman can only call "hardhats." Libertarians often call people who support substantial government intervention in both economic and personal issues "statists" or authoritarians. In our studies we call them populists, as does the Gallup Poll.
The media constantly discuss politics in terms of liberals and conservatives, so very few voters are even familiar with the term libertarian (or populist) and thus few choose it to describe themselves.
It is of course true that the number of "real" libertarians – people who read Hayek and Nozick and Rothbard, or Reason magazine, or indeed The Libertarian Mind – is small. Maybe a few hundred thousand? (Though Hayek was selling pretty well when the government created a financial collapse and responded by bailing out Wall Street.) Maybe a few million if you include Ayn Rand? But it's also true that there aren't many conservatives if you mean people have read The Conservative Mind, and not many liberals if you mean people who read John Rawls and Paul Starr.
The question for politics, which is where Krugman started, is how many people there are who hold broadly libertarian views, or views that diverge from liberal and conservative approaches in a libertarian direction. That's what pollsters try to measure. For more than 20 years now, the Gallup Poll has been using two questions to categorize respondents by ideology:
Some people think the government is trying to do too many things that should be left to individuals and businesses. Others think that government should do more to solve our country's problems. Which comes closer to your own view?
Some people think the government should promote traditional values in our society. Others think the government should not favor any particular set of values. Which comes closer to your own view?
Here's a graphic depiction of the number of respondents who gave libertarian answers to both questions in the Bush-Obama years:
The Pew Research Center and the American National Election Studies also ask such questions, and in our studies on the libertarian vote we have drawn on all those data sets. By using narrower criteria than Gallup does, mostly by adding a third question, we found that 13 to 15 percent of Americans hold libertarian attitudes. In 2006 we commissioned Zogby International to ask our three ANES questions to 1,012 actual (reported) voters in the 2006 election. We asked half the sample, "Would you describe yourself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal?" We asked the other half of the respondents, "Would you describe yourself as fiscally conservative and socially liberal, also known as libertarian?"
The results surprised us. Fully 59 percent of the respondents said "yes" to the first question. That is, by 59 to 27 percent, poll respondents said they would describe themselves as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal."
The addition of the word "libertarian" clearly made the question more challenging. What surprised us was how small the drop-off was. A healthy 44 percent of respondents answered "yes" to that question, accepting a self-description as "libertarian." We summed all that up in this handy but not necessarily helpful graph:
All these numbers are open to debate, of course. Do these views affect how people vote? I think our studies on the libertarian vote present evidence that they do. But I'm sorry that Paul Krugman didn't do a Google search on "how many libertarians" before dashing off his post.
Krugman says there just aren't many people who hold views that cross red/blue, liberal/conservative lines, who believe in, say, both gay marriage and lower taxes, or oppose both marijuana legalization and free trade. That is, there are no people who are, as he puts it, "socially liberal" but also "fiscally conservative." In the real world, of course there are. It's not hard to find them in polls, or by talking to people. Are they just inconsistent? Or might they have broadly libertarian views (or broadly pro-government views)?
If all this data doesn't impress Krugman, maybe he'll accept Radley Balko's scientific analysis:
Libertarians are like dark matter. There may be no direct proof we exist, but you can infer us due to how we affect Alternet & Salon.
I don't think a Princeton professor would give this paper a passing grade.

chivalry (shĬv´əlrē), system of ethical ideals that arose from feudalism and had its highest development in the 12th and 13th cent.
Chivalric ethics originated chiefly in France and Spain and spread rapidly to the rest of the Continent and to England. They represented a fusion of Christian and military concepts of morality and still form the basis of gentlemanly conduct. Noble youths became pages in the castles of other nobles at the age of 7; at 14 they trained as squires in the service of knights, learning horsemanship and military techniques, and were themselves knighted, usually at 21.
The chief chivalric virtues were piety, honor, valor, courtesy, chastity, and loyalty. The knight's loyalty was due to the spiritual master, God; to the temporal master, the suzerain; and to the mistress of the heart, his sworn love. Love, in the chivalrous sense, was largely platonic; as a rule, only a virgin or another man's wife could be the chosen object of chivalrous love. With the cult of the Virgin Mary, the relegation of noblewomen to a pedestal reached its highest expression.
The ideal of militant knighthood was greatly enhanced by the Crusades. The monastic orders of knighthood, the Knights Templars and the Knights Hospitalers, produced soldiers sworn to uphold the Christian ideal. Besides the battlefield, the tournament was the chief arena in which the virtues of chivalry could be proved. The code of chivalrous conduct was worked out with great subtlety in the courts of love that flourished in France and in Flanders. There the most arduous questions of love and honor were argued before the noble ladies who presided (see courtly love). The French military hero Pierre Terrail, seigneur de Bayard, was said to be the last embodiment of the ideals of chivalry.
In practice, chivalric conduct was never free from corruption, increasingly evident in the later Middle Ages. Courtly love often deteriorated into promiscuity and adultery and pious militance into barbarous warfare. Moreover, the chivalric duties were not owed to those outside the bounds of feudal obligation. The outward trappings of chivalry and knighthood declined in the 15th cent., by which time wars were fought for victory and individual valor was irrelevant. Artificial orders of chivalry, such as the Order of the Golden Fleece (1423), were created by rulers to promote loyalty; tournaments became ritualized, costly, and comparatively bloodless; the traditions of knighthood became obsolete.
Medieval secular literature was primarily concerned with knighthood and chivalry. Two masterpieces of this literature are the Chanson de Roland (c.1098; see Roland) and Sir Gawain and the Green Knight (see Pearl, The). Arthurian legend and the chansons de geste furnished bases for many later romances and epics. The work of Chrétien de Troyes and the Roman de la Rose also had tremendous influence on European literature. The endless chivalrous and pastoral romances, still widely read in the 16th cent., were satirized by Cervantes in Don Quixote. In the 19th cent., however, the romantic movement brought about a revival of chivalrous ideals and literature.
For the lyric poetry of the age of chivalry, see troubadours; trouvères; minnesinger.
See B. E. Broughton, Dictionary of Medieval Knighthood and Chivalry (1986); M. Keen, Chivalry (1984); H. Chickering and T. H. Seiler, ed., The Study of Chivalry (1988).

The Tide Rolls In
Posted on Friday, May 29, 2015
We seem to have survived a post Memorial Day surge. As I have mentioned, I am not sure why there are these days when everyone and her sister seems to feel a need to drop off books. But I think I have a hint. Someone, as I handed him a receipt, thanked me and nodded, "Had to get these in before the end of May."
He didn't have to do that on my account. I keep telling people we accept donations through July 3. But maybe I didn't get the whole story. Maybe if he didn't have the books cleaned out by May 31, his wife was going to call in the goon squad. It's an old, old story.
In any case, the surge naturally washed up a number of possible winners of the Object Which Lures Most Customers To the Book Fair. Among the treasures people will no doubt beat down the doors to buy are:
"U.S.A. Forever", a piece of sheet music in which poet Edmund Vance Cooke writes new lyrics to the tune of Dixie. The publisher explains that the original lyrics weren't very poetic, and nobody sings them nowadays (1918) anyhow. I realize I am pushing my luck sneering at another poet this week, as the Pulitzer Committee has not yet called about the beauties of my own verse, but I bet more people know the lyrics of Dixie than are singing "Here Latin, Celt, and Slav and Saxon look like Lincoln, Clay, and Jackson, Hip-hooray, hip-hooray, hip-hooray, U.S.A.! And we're for peace all 'round the compass 'til we're forced to raise a rumpus, Hip-hooray, hip-hooray, hip-hooray, U.S.A.! So it's U.S.A. forever, hooray! Hooray! I thank the fates which fixed my dates in U.S.A. forever!" What kind of dates did the fates fix him up with, anyhow?
I've checked, and Mr. Cooke is most famous, it says here, for a motivational poem called "How Did You Die?" He also wrote "Moo Cow Moo", a poem which did, briefly, haunt my childhood. I had not thought of it in fifty years or thereabouts, and I understand he was perfectly suited to write World War I songs like U.S.A. Forever (there are three more verses, but you'll have to come buy the thing.)
There was a Mickey Mouse backscratcher, which strikes me as somewhat sinister, and a Scrooge McDuck necktie, and a magic potion produced by Estee Lauder. The donor noted "That costs ninety bucks." Not at my Book Fair, oyster sorbet. People buying beauty aids at a book fair are not going for top of the line.
There were four boxes marked "Vintage Childrens Books", which presumably means they were read by vintage children. Most of these dated to the forties and fifties (the ones from my childhood were obviously dropped into the box by mistake.) There was also a small box of children's greeting cards, and a number of elderly board games. A few boards without pieces or rules were also included. Even without the rest, I expect I can sell the Raggedy Ann board, but I'm most interested in this one where the children are playing to land on a space showing what their future spouse will look like. It takes Mystery Date up a notch.
To top it all off, there is this little booklet on how to make authentic-looking old-time blouses, called The Little Bodice Book. I think any further comment is unnecessary, though I do wonder whether there is a companion volume called The Big Bodice Book.
And which of these bodices goes with a Scrooge McDuck necktie?

2005 W.H. Smith Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Wine Details
Winemaker's Notes
(From 2011 Vintage) The 2011 vintage was challenging for the Sonoma Coast. Late spring rains followed by almost two weeks of warm, sunny days provided ideal bloom conditions and good fruit-set. The long, moderate growing season benefited our Sonoma Coast wine, producing bright flavor that is very well balanced. Garnet in color with aromas of vanilla and dried fruit leading to dark fruit flavors (plum, dark cherry and blackberry) with a hint of spiciness. Its beautifully layered aromatics and silky mouth feel encourage another sip.

Air Force joins Colorado firefighting effort
Thursday - 6/28/2012, 10:30am EDT
The Air Force is helping the fire fight in Colorado. At the same time, it had to evacuate 550 cadets from the Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs because of approaching flames.
NextGov reported federal fire officials have enlisted four C-130 transport planes. Each one can spray thousands of gallons of fire retardant in a matter of seconds. Each plane is equipped with pressurized canisters on pallets. That means crews can quickly reload them after they land. The planes come from the 302nd and 153rd Airlift Wings.

W ILKES-BARRE -- Readers who also like The Times Leader page on Facebook were quick to offer their input on the most important stories of 2012.
From the end of the 2012 election to the string of mass shootings across the nation, readers' picks were not far from a list pulled together from editors at The Associated Press.
Facebook subscriber Brendan Pryor of Paramus, N.J., emphatically said that the Sept. 11 assault on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi, Libya, that killed Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans was one of the most important stories of this year.
The attack derailed the hopes of United Nations Ambassador Susan Rice to become the new secretary of state.
In mid-December, a damning report that blamed management failures for a lack of security resulted in the resignations of State Department officials Eric Boswell, the assistant secretary of state for diplomatic security; Charlene Lamb, the deputy assistant secretary responsible for embassy security; and Raymond Maxwell, the deputy assistant secretary of state who oversees the Maghreb nations of Libya, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco.
Scranton resident Nelson Antonio Salcedo Sr. and Paul J. Reedy suggested that the mass shootings across the United States were the most important occurrence in the country this year. Salcedo specifically mentioned the December massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 children, six staff members, the gunman himself and his mother dead on Dec. 14.
Other mass shootings occurred in Aurora, Colo., where a gunman opened fire at the midnight opening of The Dark Knight Rises, the final installment in Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy, on July 20.
The shooter in that instance appeared in court a week later and faces charges of first-degree murder for each of the 12 theatergoers who died and attempted murder for each of the 58 people who were injured. A preliminary hearing in the case was set for Jan. 7, according to recent reports.
Days before the Sandy Hook massacre, another gunman used a stolen rife to kill two people and then himself inside a Portland, Ore., mall.
Reedy, who also cited the attack in Benghazi, suggested the 2012 election as another significant event, particularly the re-election of President Barack Obama in the most costly election cycle to date.
Politics aside, the election may be remembered as one of the most liberal ever as Maine, Maryland and Washington became the first states to legalize gay marriage via popular vote. Washington and Colorado legalized the recreational use of marijuana.
Facebook fan Matthew J. Harden said the possible death of the Twinkie should be a top news bite. Hostess, maker of the iconic sponge cake, announced plans to liquidate assets and employees in November, citing troubled negotiations with one of its top unions.
The obit for Twinkie the Kid is fairly preliminary, however. In bankruptcy court in December, Hostess said it was narrowing down the bids it received for its brands and expects to sell off its snack cakes and bread to separate buyers.
Amid all of the bad news, readers Donna Fernandes Selner and Amy Smith hope the horrible headlines of 2012 make us treat each other a little better in 2013.
Everyone is tired of sad and disturbing news. 2013 needs all good stories, Fernandes Selner wrote on The Times Leader wall.

Gallery: Tower of Power is a Wind Energy-Generating Skyscraper for Taiw...
Inspiration for the Taiwan tower's design came from woven bamboo or bamboo scaffolding – a meshed exterior encases all the programmatic elements. The weaving of the structure creates an intricate pattern and a series of voids that offer views of the city.
The gaps between the mesh also provide space to install 600 wind turbines for a total of 6 MW. These small vertical axis wind turbines are quiet and sculptural – as opposed to large, noisy turbines. The landmark tower's Eddy turbine-studded facade doubles as a power plant that generates energy for the city. Visitors to the landmark tower will enjoy views of the city and cultural events from a building wrapped with renewable energy-generating turbines.

I've always imagined how much energy is wasted in places like NYC. If every building had even these small ones studded on the perimeter of the top it might not power the city, but it might offset it's use by a bit. There's tons of wind at 50 stories.

It's summer but expect rainshowers—Pagasa
More News from Frances Mangosing
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Even as summer season was officially declared Monday, isolated rainshowers were expected throughout the country in the daily forecast, the state weather bureau said Tuesday.
The whole country will be partly cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms, the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration [Pagasa] said.

This month my husband thought we should try just using our regular budgeting and it's horrible...we are good budgeters and we will be fine, but there will only be a few dollars left by the end of the month!
I do it, and it helps us stay within our budget. However, I've learned that I *must* keep track of what is spent where out of each budge envelope to keep myself accountable. Its just much easier for me to take our misc. envelope through the Starbucks drive-thru because cash leaves no trail but if I have to write it down I can keep myself from doing it.
so i used to be really really with our money...then i stopped working to stay at home...and now it is alot tighter and we pay the bills fine and have money for what we need but we have a car loan (we are trying to sell to at least just break even)and we have a decent but not insane amount of debt to pay off...so i am wondering has anyone used the cash in designated envelopes system? if so how do you figure what has to be in the bank to write checks for bills and so on...how do you get started? etc???

Jodi Arias' lawyers called her "a mentally ill woman who has no prior criminal history," in response to Maricopa County Attorney Bill Montgomery's vow to continue seeking the death penalty with a second jury after the first could not decide her fate.
"If the diagnosis made by the State's psychologist is correct, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office is seeking to impose the death penalty upon a mentally ill woman who has no prior criminal history," Kirk Nurmi and Jennifer Willmott told The Arizona Republic in a statement Tuesday. "Despite Mr. Montgomery's recent statements to the media, it is not incumbent upon Ms. Arias' defense counsel to resolve this case.
PHOTOS: Jodi Arias In Shackles, Prison Stripes And Full Make Up
"Instead, the choice to end this case sits squarely with Mr. Montgomery and his office."
Arias' legal team added that the onus is on Montgomery to suss out whether a long and expensive battle to put her on death row "is a good and proper use of taxpayer resources."
After a months-long trial that captivated the country's attention with its' lurid details of sex, obsession and violence, Arias, 32, was convicted of first-degree murder May 8 in the brutal 2008 killing of her former lover, Travis Alexander.

A new jury will be selected for the penalty phase, with a retrial date of July 18. Should the second panel deadlock, Judge Sherry Stephens will then hand Arias a sentence of life in prison or 25 years with the eligibility of parole. (The death penalty would not be an option in that scenario.)

KOCHI: While the government promotes Breastfeeding Week every August, in matters that need to be practically implemented, the six-month maternity leave is yet to come into force for all working women.
It is not only the government but also the private sector that should implement it, said Sachidananda Kamath, the district president of the Indian Academy of Paediatrics, which is involved in promoting breastfeeding week along with the National Rural Health Mission.
Along with Kerala, a couple of other States like Punjab, Haryana and Maharashtra have implemented maternity benefit rules for government employees.
In fact, women can take leave for over a year to nurse the child, said D. Sreedevi, chairperson of the State Women's Commission.
However, working women in the private sector continue to struggle between child rearing and work schedules. Paediatricians recommend that the baby should only be breastfed for the first six months. But, with working women required to report for duty after 12 weeks of leave, babies need to be started on other foods like powdered milk and semi-solids just after three months.

Examining the social and political upheavals that characterized the collapse of public judgment in early modern Europe, Liberating Judgment offers a unique account of the achievement of liberal democracy and self-government. The book argues that the work of John Locke instills a civic judgment that avoids the excesses of corrosive skepticism and dogmatic fanaticism, which lead to either political acquiescence or irresolvable conflict. Locke changes the way political power is assessed by replacing deteriorating vocabularies of legitimacy with a new language of justification informed by a conception of probability. For Locke, the coherence and viability of liberal self-government rests not on unassailable principles or institutions, but on the capacity of citizens to embrace probable judgment.
The book explores the breakdown of the medieval understanding of knowledge and opinion, and considers how Montaigne's skepticism and Descartes' rationalism--interconnected responses to the crisis--involved a pragmatic submission to absolute rule. Locke endorses this response early on, but moves away from it when he encounters a notion of reasonableness based on probable judgment. In his mature writings, Locke instructs his readers to govern their faculties and intellectual yearnings in accordance with this new standard as well as a vocabulary of justification that might cultivate a self-government of free and equal individuals. The success of Locke's arguments depends upon citizens' willingness to take up the labor of judgment in situations where absolute certainty cannot be achieved.

Norwegian distributor scores hat-trick of titles.
Fidalgo has secured three titles at the Toronto International Film Festival for Norwegian distribution.
The films include Marie's Story's from Jean-Pierre Ameris, sold by Indie Film Sales. The film stars Isabelle Carré as a determined nun in late 19th century France who taught a deaf and blind child to communicate.
Fidalgo has also picked up Duccio Chiarini's debut, Short Skin, from Films Boutique. Starring Matteo Creatini and Francesca Agostini, the bittersweet comedy follows a 17-year-old protagonist who suffers too tight a foreskin to have sex.

Gustave Kervern and Catherine Deneuve in Pierre Salvadori's In The Courtyard The French Film Festival UK has unveiled its selection for its 22nd edition this November - with highlights featuring some of the brightest lights of French cinema, including Catherine Deneuve, Isabelle Huppert, Isabelle Carré, Jean Reno, Guillaume Canet, Mathieu Amalric, Albert Dupontel and Jean-Pierre Darroussin.
In locations across the country stretching from Inverness to London via Edinburgh and Glasgow, the event styles itself as "a celebration of Francophone cinema in all its guises."
As well as an eclectic selection of contemporary titles from the past 12 months, the Festival will pay tribute to the late Alain Resnais who died earlier in the year, with screenings of a restored copy of his first feature Hiroshima Mon Amour with Oscar-nominated Emmanuelle Riva (from Amour) and Eiji Okadan, and the director's last film Life of Riley (Aimer, boire, et chanter), his »

Bourg Madame, France – New York-based Film Movement has closed U.S. rights to Jean-Pierre Ameris' "Marie's Story," which world premieres at next week's Locarno Festival as a Piazza Grande screening.
The sale and Locarno berth – a Piazza Grande slot is often, though not inevitably, a sign of a crowd pleaser – mark further recognition for a title which has been racking up pre-sales since Paris-based Indie Sales screened a trailer at January's UniFrance Paris Rendez-vous.
A late nineteenth-century drama based on true events, "Marie's Story" (aka "Marie Heurtin") stars Isabel Carre, the co-star of Ameris' runaway hit "Romantics Anonymous," as a nun who teaches a deaf, blind 14-year-old woman, whom doctors recommend to be committed to an asylum, to communicate with the world around her.
"Marie's Story" is scheduled for a Nov. 12 release in France via Diaphana.
The period piece marks a venture into theatrical movie »

John Hickenlooper lauded for bringing mental health into gun control talk
Governor John Hickenlooper is scheduled to speak at today's reopening of the Aurora Century 16, where "an evening of remembrance" will honor the victims of the shootings on July 20 during a screen of The Dark Knight Rises.
Let's hope the event works as well as Hickenlooper's subsequent talk about guns and mental health played in the Wall Street Journal.
Here's the online version of the WSJ editorial published on January 16:
Gun control has been the exclusive political fixation of President Obama's Washington after Newtown, so perhaps readers will be surprised to learn that some states are being more constructive. One of them is Colorado, where Governor John Hickenlooper is promoting an innovative overhaul of his state's mental health-care system.
In his State of the State address last week, the Democrat said that "our democracy demands" a debate over guns, violence and mental illness -- not least in the aftermath of James Holmes's attack on an Aurora movie theater that killed 12 and wounded 58 in July. "Let me prime the pump," Mr. Hickenlooper said. "Why not have universal background checks for all gun sales?"
There was a lot of media attention for that line, but much less for what followed. As Mr. Hickenlooper continued, "It's not enough to prevent dangerous people from getting weapons. We have to do a better job identifying and helping people who are a threat to themselves and others." His office spent the last five months developing a detailed $18.5 million plan to modernize civil commitment laws while expanding community-based mental health treatment.
The first leg would combine Colorado's three involuntary treatment laws into one streamlined, clarified process and lower the legal threshold to "substantial probability" from "imminent danger." This new burden of proof would protect civil liberties but also make it easier for health-care providers, law enforcement and the courts to ensure that the seriously disturbed get the help they need.
A month prior to Holmes's rampage his University of Colorado psychiatrist broke doctor-patient confidentiality to tell campus police about his fantasies about killing "a lot of people," as Denver's 7News and the Denver Post reported in December. But the doctor rejected an offer to place him on a 72-hour psychiatric hold, for reasons that are unclear.
Mr. Hickenlooper also said that mental health commitment records would be cross-checked in real time with background checks for gun purchases. And all this would be coupled with better treatment options, including more public hospital beds, more specialists in the state's mental health institutions, and five 24-hour psychiatric crisis centers. The Hickenlooper plan would create a better off-ramp for people emerging from care such as more case management, counselling and behavioral rehabilitation.
Good luck finding any mention of any of this from the national press corps. On Monday one newspaper ran a lengthy dispatch on Colorado as "a reluctant crucible for the battle over guns" but didn't find it fit to print a single word about Mr. Hickenlooper's mental health ideas. They received the gloss of a single paragraph in another Colorado gun-control story last week.
Mr. Obama unveils his new gun-control measures as early as Wednesday. But Mr. Hickenlooper's reform effort is likely to make far more progress reducing gun violence and caring for civil society than another reactionary, unthinking guns-only debate.
This is the second WSJ editorial on Hickenlooper's response to the Aurora shootings; the first lauded his "wise words" on national news shows right after the tragedy.

SAN MARCOS -- Half the schools in the San Marcos Unified School District will have new principals next year as administrators head back to the classroom, retire or assume other administrative positions.
"It's a very high number," said Larry Maw, district superintendent. "I can't remember a year when I've had so many openings."
Students will be greeted by new principals at San Marcos High School, Knob Hill Elementary, Alvin M. Dunn Elementary, Richland School, San Marcos Middle School, La Costa Meadows School and Discovery Elementary School.
The district has 14 schools and employs around 1,100 people, more than half of whom are teachers. Enrollment next year is expected to increase by 389 students to 14,357.
A number of factors have contributed to the staff shuffling, Maw said Tuesday, including an opportunity for employees to opt for early retirement and a desire by some for change or promotion. Only two administrators were reassigned as a result of budget cuts.
Twenty-nine people in the district took early retirement including two assistant superintendents: Dennis Stokes, who heads human resources, and Susan Maki, instructional services. Seventeen teaching positions were eliminated as a result of budget cuts, but the early retirement program and other attrition prevented any teachers from being laid off.
Maki will be replaced by Robert Henricks, a former principal and assistant principal for the San Marcos district. Stokes' replacement should be named by the end of August, Maw said.
Penny Gray, the district's director for curriculum, retired as well.
Patty Arendt, principal at Alvin M. Dunn has taken over her position. Eric Forseth, principal at Richland School, will be taking over as principal at Alvin M. Dunn and Jennifer Carter, a school administrator for Solana Beach, will become principal at Richland.
The first official day for new administrators and principals was Tuesday, though some are staying at their old schools to help train their replacements or clear out their offices.
Forseth said Tuesday that he sees his move to Alvin M. Dunn as a challenge. The school was once viewed as "under performing" because of lackluster test scores, he said. Arendt, who became principal in 2001, helped improve the school's performance.
"(Arendt's) laid a lot of groundwork," said Forseth who became a teacher at Richland in 1985 and an assistant principal the following year. He became principal at Richland in 1988 and with the exception of a three year stint to open a school in Temecula, he's been in that position since. Forseth said it's a compliment to be chosen to follow Arendt.
Arendt also credits the turnaround at Alvin Dunn to good teachers and support from the district.
"It was a lot of work by a lot of people," said Arendt, who served as principal at various schools in the district for 18 years and has spent her entire 28-year career in San Marcos Unified School District. "I think it's going to continue and even go further with Eric Forseth," Arendt said of Alvin Dunn's progress. "He's a wonderful principal."
Among the other changes:
