I returned home from Thanksgiving dinner today to find the following e-mail in my inbox:
"Hi there,
This message is to inform you that we have received a takedown notice for your post here:
And have disabled this entry on your site. This entry cited text which violated Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works -
We strive to stand by our users, but must take action when legally required to do so.
Kind regards,
It would appear the hosting company I'm using is taking some heat from something I have written. For starters, that is wrong on so many accounts. If I have written something that is wrong then I should be the one to answer for it-- not the hosting company I pay to host my website. This is also an abuse of the DMCA regulations. So I replied.
Does anyone from Squarespace actually read the links you are "forced" to take down? Or do you simply cave at the first mention of DMCA? I ask you this because 1. I've not violated DMCA copyright regulations and 2. the Wikipedia link you sent me is to a nonexistent article. Go ahead and try it yourself.
I recommend that you familiarize youself with DMCA before you continue with this action.
Over the 6 years that I've been a Squarespace user I've literally gotten hundreds of DMCA notices from companies and persons whose scams I've helped expose. Not once have I ever taken anything down and this is the only instance where Squarespace has been asked to take down anything I have written.
Commoncircle.com, the company I cite in my post is has a long history of abusing clients, spam and possibly scams, and is anything but green. And the fact that my post about them has remained online since Oct 9, 2008 can only point to their use of heavy handed threats to force hosting agencies to fold in fear of DMCA regulations that do not exist.
Please reconsider your compliance with this alleged DMCA takedown notice.
Thank you -Billy Jones"
Now don't get me wrong, I'm all about going green, I even wrote the following in my now invisible post:
"Spam wastes electricity by stealing bandwidth from those persons the spam is sent to even if your spam blockers block said spam. As a matter of fact, stealing something you plan to waste is the worst form of ecological rape I can possibly think of. That's why it angers me to find the following spam from CommonCircle.com in my inbox this morning:"
Of course, I can't actually show you the spam e-mail that I posted the first time 'round as the content of that spam e-mail is the reason http://www.commoncircle.com/ is pushing a DMCA takedown notice via my web host. So, I can only affirm that on Oct 9, 2008, I did receive spam from Common Circle pitching Eco Tours and I did post said e-mail to my blog only to find myself and others now under attack.
If you'd like to see the real DMCA regulations you may click the following link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DMCA
You'll notice there is no mention of e-mail.
What is happening here is in no way, the fault of my hosting company. They have, in-fact, been an excellent provider of services to me since 2005, but, as is too often the case, they risk being sued by a larger company with lots of money to spend on lawyers and potential legal defense costs that could break the company before they/we ever see our day in court.
This is typical of the tactics of the 1% no matter what color they claim their politics to be and yet another reason why we must Occupy.
Now I am in no way implying that Common Circle Education does or doesn't do what they say they do but they did, on Oct 9, 2008, send spam (Unsolicited Commercial Email) to my e-mail address and as I've pointed out time and time again, spam is anything but green and wastes large amounts of electricity that amount to more than 1/2 of the cost that you and I pay to use and access the Internet even if you never see a spam e-mail in your life.
Update: November 25th 2011.
I got an e-mail from Vladislav Davidzon today. I'm not sure if I should share it as posting the last e-mail from Common Circle Education is what got me hit with a DMCA takedown notice for my previous post. I'm also not certain that I want to give him the time of day.
Anyway, just so you know I'm not the only one with concerns about how Common Circle Education does business, here's a list of links to other cites where others have made complaints:
Mr Davidzon did mention in his e-mail today that I should have sent him an e-mail before publishing my previous post but I found it interesting to read the following e-mail from Squarespace showing that Mr Davidison went straight over my head without ever contacting me before issuing his DMCA takedown notice and has yet to ask Peer 1 and Squarespace to make my previous post live again. Besides, have you ever know anyone who was able to successfully unsubscribe from a spammer? Most spam experts recommend you don't even try as that simply lets the spammer know your e-mail address is real.
"Hi Billy,
I understand your frustration -- we received the notice from Peer 1 directly. You can read the article referenced here:
You are welcome to contact the claimant directly:
Common Circle Education
Attn: Legal
14525 SW Millikan Way, Suite 17760
Beaverton, OR 97005
And you can further contact Peer 1 abuse department here:
If you have any other questions I'm happy to help.
-- Christa Collins
Director of Customer Care
Squarespace, Inc.
I sent Christa an e-mail to let her know I understand she's between a rock and a hard space when it comes to DMCA takedown notices. As I've stated before, I hold neither Squarespace nor Peer1 at fault for what has happened but do find it very disconcerting that complaints about the way a company does business can magicly become copyright infringement even though no infringement has occured.
And people wonder why we're sick and tired of being run over by the 1% and their cronies.

Who were the Stoics?
The founder of Stoicism was Zeno of Citium (pictured on the right in Raphael's School of Athens), who lived and taught in Athens in around 300 BC. He and his students taught and discussed philosophy under the Stoa Poikile, or 'painted colonnade' in the Athenian market-place. Stoicism became very popular among the Roman ruling class, and most of the surviving Stoic books were written by Roman Stoics, particularly Seneca, Epictetus and Marcus Aurelius. You can access many of the Stoic texts for free here and here.
What did the Stoics believe?
Stoicism originally emerged at quite a volatile period in Greek history, when Athenian city-states were being conquered by foreign empires. It developed as a way of staying sane amid all that chaos. An important part of the therapy of Stoicism was to remind yourself at all times of what you can control and what you can't. We can't control geopolitics, we can't control the weather, we can't control the economy, we can't control other people, we can't even control our own bodies, not entirely anyway. The world is beyond our control. It's a rough and unpredictable environment that is constantly changing. The only thing we can really control are our own thoughts and beliefs. If we remind ourselves of that, and focus our energy and attention on our own beliefs and opinions, then we can learn to cope wisely with whatever the world throws at us.
Can you give me a practical example of this coping method?
Sure. In chapter two of the book we meet Brigadier-General Rhonda Cornum, and hear how she was captured during the First Iraq War, when her helicopter was shot down. She was injured, shot, sexually assaulted and then imprisoned. She found herself in a situation where she had minimal control. But instead of being traumatised by it, she focused on what she could control: her beliefs. She refused to give her captors power over that. It was the one area left where she was still free. She got through the situation by focusing on the things she could control and tolerating the things she couldn't – just like the Serenity Prayer tells us to do .
Her story reminds me a bit of Viktor Frankl.
Right. Frankl, as many readers will know, was a prisoner in Auschwitz during World War II. He was in one of the darkest and most frightening situations imaginable. Yet even amid that darkness, he realised that he still had power over his own beliefs and attitudes. He could refuse to let the situation break him, and instead assert his moral freedom. As he wrote in Man's Search for Meaning: 'Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one's attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one's own way.' That's a very Stoic insight.
You talk in the book about how Stoicism has been taken up and adapted by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Could you tell us a bit about that here?
Sure thing. The pioneer of what became CBT was a New York psychologist called Albert Ellis, who I interviewed back in 2007 (it turned out to be the last interview he gave before he sadly died later that year). Ellis was originally trained in psychoanalysis, but he didn't feel he was making any progress with his patients. So he abandoned psychoanalysis and went back to what he described as his 'hobby': ancient philosophy. In particular, he was inspired by a saying of Epictetus: 'Men are disturbed not by events, but by their opinions about events'. This inspired Ellis' cognitive therapy of the emotions, which became the basis of CBT. It's based on the idea that our emotions follow our beliefs and judgements. If we change our habitual beliefs, we also change our emotions. We can use this technique even to overcome chronic emotional disorders and severe traumas. You can watch a video of Ellis discussing how he used the Stoics here. Aaron Beck also told me he was directly inspired by his reading of Plato and the Stoics.
Does this technique really work?
There's a strong evidence base now for CBT's effectiveness in helping people overcome disorders like depression, panic disorder, social anxiety and anger issues. Personally, I used CBT and Stoicism to overcome post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and social anxiety, all of which I developed in my late teens. At that time, I felt extremely out of control, and couldn't understand why my emotions were so violent or what to do about it. Stoicism gave me a way to understand how my emotions arose and how I could control them.
It's important to understand that Stoic therapy doesn't involve suppressing your emotions or denying them beneath a 'stiff upper lip', as the popular understanding of 'stoic' might suggest. In fact, Stoic therapy involves exploring the beliefs and opinions that give rise to your negative emotions, seeing if those beliefs are irrational, and if they are, challenging them and replacing them with new beliefs. So Stoic therapy involves dismantling the beliefs and habits that create an emotion, rather than simply denying an emotion.
But surely it's not all about our beliefs. Sometimes a situation is genuinely pretty terrible, so being depressed about it might actually be rational?
In the book, we meet many situations that are genuinely pretty awful. For example, we meet Sam Sullivan, who was left paralysed when he was a teenager after a skiing accident in Vancouver. He lost the use of his arms and legs, and initially, he felt deeply depressed and suicidal about his situation. But Stoicism helped him to change his attitude, to see the situation as a challenge. He trained to get back the use of his arms, then he started to campaign to improve the lives of disabled people in Vancouver. This led him into local politics, and he eventually became mayor of Vancouver. When Vancouver won its bid to hold the Winter Olympics, Sam went to the closing ceremony in Turin to accept the Olympic flag – a moment you can watch here. That moment, and Sam's life story, remind of the lines of Epictetus: 'Difficulty shows what men are. Therefore when a difficulty falls upon you, remember that God, like a trainer of wrestlers, has matched you with a rough young man. Why? So that you may become an Olympic conqueror'. So I think we always have a choice about how we deal with situations – even ones that are genuinely pretty challenging.
Why did you call this section of the book 'The Warriors of Virtue'?
Partly because many of the modern Stoics whose stories we hear in the book are soldiers. We meet Michael Perry, for example, who is a Green Beret and a practicing Stoic, and hear about how his Spartan regime of physical training is inspired by his Stoic values. We meet Major Thomas Jarrett, who developed a Stoic-inspired resilience training course called Warrior Resilience and Thriving, which he taught to American troops in Baghdad during the second Iraq War (you can watch a video of Major Jarrett talking about how he uses Stoicism here ).
And we also discover how Stoic ideas and techniques are now, through Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, being taught to every person in the US Army and Air Force, through a $125 million resilience training course called Comprehensive Soldier Fitness, which Brigadier-General Rhonda Cornum was put in charge of. You can watch a video about the programme here .
CBT may have been inspired by Stoicism, but there are some big differences as well, aren't there?
Certainly. I discuss some of the differences and similarities in this talk . The biggest difference is that Stoicism wasn't just a set of therapeutic techniques. It was a spiritual philosophy, the end of which was bringing the self into harmony with the Logos.
What's the Logos?
The Stoics followed Heraclitus in believing that the cosmos is connected by an all-pervasive intelligence called the Logos, which you can translate as the Word or the Law. It's a form of divine providence that guides all things. It exists in all things, but it vibrates particularly strongly in human consciousness. For the Stoics, the meaning of life, the goal of human existence, is to develop our consciousness and bring it into harmony with the Logos.
How do we do that?
By overcoming our attachment and aversion to external things. Nature is constantly changing, nothing is permanent, so if we become attached or averse to external things, we'll often be unhappy, insecure and anxious, because the world will not be the way we want it to be. By focusing not on external goods but on the inner goods of virtue, we can become one with the ebb and flow of the cosmos, accepting whatever happens to us as the will of the Logos.
Then what? Do we get a good reincarnation?
Actually the Stoics are fairly reticent about what if anything happens in the afterlife, or if there is an afterlife. But the reward of bringing oneself into harmony with the Logos is that you attain a 'good flow of life'. You attain the peace and happiness of being in harmony with the cosmos, and of fulfilling your divine nature as a rational human being.
It's quite an extreme form of therapy: overcoming suffering by becoming completely detached from external things.
Yes, but no more so than, say, Buddhism or Taoism. Anyway, CBT took the Stoics' cognitive theory of emotions, and some of its techniques for transforming beliefs and emotions (such as the journal, the handbook, the use of maxims, and other therapeutic techniques which I discuss in the book), but dropped all mention of Stoicism's religious language, or its commitment to virtue, or its spiritual goal of overcoming attachments to become one with the Logos. CBT turned a spiritual philosophy into a set of instrumental techniques to overcome emotional disorders.
Some people might prefer it that way, others might feel something was lost in translation. It's understandable that a therapy that's supported and financed by governments would drop some of the religious language of Stoicism, but speaking personally, having been helped by CBT I was fascinated to hear about the original context of these amazing and powerful ideas. Some people, including me, are interested in developing a form of 'philosophical CBT' which re-contextualises it in ancient philosophy. I talk more about that project here.
So what's the state of Stoicism today?
There have always been people attracted to Stoicism. It was a major influence on Shakespeare, for example, and in more recent times on people including JD Salinger, Derren Brown and Tom Wolfe. It's also attracted political and military leaders, from Frederick the Great to president Bill Clinton to Chinese prime minister Wen Jiabao, who says he has read Marcus Aurelius' Meditations over 100 times. Many of the Roman Stoics were also deeply involved in political and military affairs – Marcus Aurelius was the emperor of Rome – and it's often been attractive to people in power, as a means of coping with the stress of political life while trying to keep true to one's principles.
Academic interest in Stoicism hasn't always been that great – for much of the 20th century, classicists were much more interested in Plato and Aristotle, but it has revived strongly thanks to the work of AA Long (you can read my interview with Long here) and through subsequent philosophers like Martha Nussbaum (read my interview with Nussbaum here). Outside of academia, Stoicism found much more interest among self-help and self-improvement gurus like Dale Carnegie and Tim Ferriss.
Since 2013, I've been involved with a project called Stoicism Today, which involves classicists, philosophers and psychologists. We published a book in 2014, which brings together essays and articles by modern practitioners of Stoicism – you can get it as an ebook in the US, and a paperback in the UK.
We've organized something called Live Like A Stoic Week for the last two years, and we're doing it again this November. If you want to get involved, get in touch. And if you're in London on November 29, come to our all-day event at Queen Mary, University of London. Here's a discussion from last year's event:
Is there a Stoic community today?
Historically there was never really much of a Stoic community – it's always been quite an individualist philosophy – but in the last few years we've seen the first hesitant steps towards such a community, thanks to the internet, and to a man called Erik Wiegardt. Erik set up an organisation called www.newstoa.com, which connects Stoics from around the world. I had the pleasure of attending a gathering of Stoics at Erik's house in San Diego in 2010 – there's a video of the gathering here. There are also flourishing Stoicism group on Facebook and Yahoo groups.
Could Stoicism be a mass movement today, or even a religion?
Well, it's certainly helped a lot of people through some difficult moments, including me. Many people have been helped by Stoic ideas without realising it, through CBT. And some people embrace it as a philosophy for life, or a form of spirituality. But I'm sceptical it could ever be a genuine mass religion, like Buddhism, because it lacks the rituals, festivals, music, myths and customs that are such an important part of religions. It doesn't really speak to the irrational part of the psyche, only to the rational part of us. Also, some modern Stoics believe in the Logos, while others are fiercely atheist, so a 'religion of Stoicism' would have to negotiate that issue. And modern Stoics are often quite individualist, libertarian and somewhat aloof souls, so trying to build a Stoic community can be like herding cats.
Speaking personally, I've found Stoicism an incredibly useful and powerful philosophy, and initially I wanted to write a book just about Stoicism. But I became interested in the other philosophies in the Socratic tradition, how they complement each other, and also how they disagree with each other. I don't know if such a broad and heterogeneous tradition could be a 'religion', but I'd say it was the best cultural foundation a society could have – and Stoicism is an important part of that Socratic tradition.

Is Antarctic Life for you?
Try the BAS Challenge Quiz
Working at BAS is not a routine 'job'. The scientific research is world-leading; the engineering and technical challenges are immense; and ultimately you could be working in an environment where resilience and teamwork can be a matter of life and death.
Ernest Shackleton's 1914 Antarctic expedition became more famous for the disasters, dangers and setbacks he overcame than for any scientific advances. It was under Shackleton's leadership that his colleagues used and developed skills very different from those that had seemed important at the outset.
Since then, the challenges of the Antarctic have not diminished; although some of the equipment, clothing and methods we use are much more advanced. So if you have the scientific, professional or technical skills and experience required, would you be excited or daunted by the prospect?
Since the scientific success of BAS depends on the collaboration of everyone, it's normally a question of all hands to the pump — from sorting out a problem in Cambridge to helping Chef in the base kitchen in Antarctica.
We provide comprehensive induction training, briefings and preparation for work in the Antarctic and Cambridge, but only you can decide whether the challenging world of BAS is right for you. Work through the BAS Challenge Quiz. Hopefully it will illustrate some of the scenarios you may encounter and give you an insight into some of the challenges. It's by no means exclusive; but it may help you to decide whether you're cut out for the job.
Completed the Challenge?
- Find out more about 'going south' in Life in Antarctica.
- Look at the different careers at BAS.
- Hear what BAS people have to say about their experiences in their personal profiles.

In order to extensively and simultaneously analyze frequencies of fluctuations of the end-loss ion current, we prepared three types of analog-to-digital converters (ADC) whose sampling frequencies are 62.5 kHz, 333 kHz and 64 MHz, respectively. The low and intermediate frequency ADCs have 20 channels. The high frequency ADC has a single channel and analyzes the summed signal of the MCP detector. We observed the fluctuations of Alfvén ion cyclotron (AIC) mode and the beat phenomenon appeared in the end-loss ion current. On the energy distribution functions of the end-loss ion, we have already observed the gentle humps. We found the relation between the gentle humps and the AIC waves observed in the end-loss ion current, and confirmed by the pitch angle analysis of the beat fluctuation that the AIC waves significantly influenced the trapped ion to transport into the loss region.

Is There Honey Still for Tea? is the third episode of the eighth British comedy series Dad's Army that was originally transmitted on Wednesday 19 September 1975. The title is taken from the concluding line of Rupert Brooke's 1912 poem, The Old Vicarage, Grantchester:
Stands the Church clock at ten to three? And is there honey still for tea?
The Colonel informs them that Private Godfrey's cottage is to be flattened to make way for a new aerodrome. Mainwaring summons Jones and Fraser to the bank and tries to work out how best to break the news to Godfrey. Mainwaring resolves to go and inform Godfrey personally. He, Pike and Wilson walk out to pay a call to Cherry Tree Cottage, only to be invited to stay for tea. During the visit Mainwaring repeatedly puts off telling Godfrey, and finally tries to shift the responsibility, and make Wilson tell him - a job his Sergeant shirks. The three of them depart the cottage, with Godfrey seemingly none the wiser about his fate. Next Mainwaring tries to persuade Jones and Fraser to do the deed as the two oldest members of the platoon. Fraser abandons Jones, leaving him to tell Godfrey alone. Slightly awkwardly, Jones begins a rambling and convoluted explanation - only to find that Godfrey already knows, having received official notification several days before. He innocuously mentions that he meant to tell Captain Mainwaring, but he didn't want to "upset him". Jones offers to let Godfrey stay with him, which he accepts.
When Fraser makes a call to the home of the Minister in charge of building the new aerodrome Sir Charles Renthrew McCallister, in the middle of the night - and subtly threatens him with exposure, for his youthful transgressions, if he does not re-consider the scheme.
The next scene shows the platoon helping to load the furniture in Hodge's van as he prepares to move out, with a melancholic Godfrey and his sisters watching as their possessions being carried away. Fraser arrives, bearing news of the official decision to shift the aerodrome several hundred yards, meaning that Godfrey's cottage will now be on the edge of it rather than in the middle. The platoon respond with delight, leaving an irate Hodges, shaking his fist and calling Mainwaring a chiseler.
The episode ends with a tea party at Godfrey's cottage, in which he thanks Mainwaring for saving his house unaware, as they all are, that it was in fact Fraser who had come through for Godfrey. In the final scene the tea party which is being held on the lawn of Godfrey's cottage is interrupted by a plane which has just taken off from the aerodrome, flying over the cottage at very low level and blowing everyone and everything around the garden.

Camper Van Beethoven perfects its bar band vibe
Three-decade-old alt rockers to bring fresh material to its Belly Up gig
Making the new album came about by accident. A 2011 outdoor gig in Big Sur was postponed due to inclement weather. So the musicians — based in various far flung locales — decided to spend the weeklong downtime creating music at multi-instrumentalist Segel's nearby home.
"When it finally happened, it was in a way that I wanted: We sat in a room and tried to write together for the first time in many, many years," recalled Krummenacher. "We hadn't really done it in a while. It was a very fertile five-day writing period with a lot of really good ideas and music (plus enough leftover recordings for a follow-up).
"I felt it was really important that we do a record that felt organic and represented everyone," he continued.
"You have four really opinionated people in the band, which sometimes makes for a contentious environment, but also creates really unique music. Since we'd gotten back together, I didn't think we'd gotten that across. Everything was kind of thematic."
From the elegant, romantic sway of opener "Come Down the Coast" to the Spanish-influenced title track, a few selections are loosely based on the mythological idea of Northern California's so-called "lost coast" around Mendocino and Humboldt counties.
Lowery's trademark skewed humor comes to the fore during the careening "Too High for the Love-In," while the bluesy "You Got to Roll" is a departure and real showcase for Lisher.
These days, Krummenacher is pleased that Camper Van Beethoven has perfected what he calls "the art of the bar band."
"I really think there's an art to mature, seriously grooving playing … it took us 30 years to get to this point, but we did it."
George A. Paul is a Southern California-based music writer.

Lindsay Lohan on Whitney Houston, being clean and sober on 'Today'
Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
Lindsay Lohan has started rehabbing her image, beginning with an interview on "Today" and a hosting gig for "Saturday Night Live" this coming Saturday, March 3. The full interview airs Thursday morning on "Today," but Wednesday morning they previewed some of the questions.
"I'm good and I'm clean and sober. It's been a while. It's been ...a long time," Lohan tells Matt Lauer. "It's nice to feel that I also have a lot of great people in my life that are in the same position, so I can always turn to them. I have great people that I can talk to at any time and they can help me kind of figure myself out."
Lauer asks if the party scene is still what she's into, if she does go out partying sometimes. Lohan says, "I could, but that's not my thing anymore. I went out actually a few months ago with a friend and I was so uncomfortable. Not because I felt tempted, just because it was jsut the same thing that it always was before and it just wasn't fun for me. I've become more of a homebody and I like that."
When asked if Whitney Houston's recent death hit home with her, Lindsay says, "Not really. I wouldn't want to go there. That's kind of a scary, morbid thing to discuss. Maybe to some extent when I was really - when I went to jail, and being in that place, that was really terrifying for me."
"You can completely fall into that world [of substance abuse] and that's a really scary thing," she continues. "I've experienced things like that ... it's a really sad factor that can come into play in people's lives sometimes if you don't recognize it and a lot of people don't like to. I think I di dthat for a long time. I think I was scared. I didn't want to admit it to myself, let alone anyone else."
What do you think, Zap2it readers? Look for more on the full interview tomorrow.

The marking of the 2012 grade seven examinations has been completed and schools are expected to start receiving the results today. Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC) chairman, Professor Norman Maphosa confirmed the development saying the examinations body delayed marking as it was waiting for the Ministry of Finance to release the $1, 5 million to pay the markers. Cabinet had to intervene by ordering ZIMSEC to use its own resources to fund the exercise. Meanwhile education, sport, arts and culture minister senator David Coltart has reassured the nation that Ordinary and Advanced Level Examination results for this year will be released on time.

Booker T, Lance Storm and Others Comment On Undertaker/Lesnar UFC 121 Altercation
by Amish Patel - October 26, 2010
Arda Ocal sent in the following:
Hey guys!
Right After Wrestling with Arda Ocal and Jimmy Korderas on SIRIUS Radio 98 got comments from wrestlers / producers about the Brock Lesnar / Undertaker altercation:
LANCE STORM – I was surprised. the skeptical mind of a worker was always wondering whether it was a work or legit. I'm obviously leaning towards work now. i cant see anything come out of this, but it sure made me think. I can't see Taker being that unprofessional to confront him and say anything than pleasant words if there wasn't a plan in the works. Taker is a professional and Brock had just lost a tough fight so I wouldn't see him doing something like that if there wasn't plans in the future or hopeful plans in the future.
DAVE LAGANA – It's amazing that a third party, independently produced, non agenda based video was able to create more buzz about Wrestlemania or any PPV than WWE can create in one 30 second clip. It was pretty cool. I was jazzed to see and the fact that it has a million views in just under two days shows the power of what it did in that video.
COLT CABANA – He's the Undertaker he can say what he wants to say and Brock Lesnar is Brock Lesnar and can do what he wants to do. If it was something set up to get into the wrestling ring like good for them for getting a buzz. If it's not than whatever, all Undertaker did was say a couple of words and now all of a sudden he's got this giant buzz on the internet. Whatever it is it's getting some buzz. It didn't hurt anybody physically, mentally or emotionally I don't think so good for them. What am I gonna do, hope both their careers turn out well. Their both millionaires and are doing awesome so their doing it right. Maybe I should challenge Brock Lesnar after a match also so I can have some buzz like them.
BOOKER T – It's kind of bizarre. It kind of came out of left field. If it was what I think it was, it was a well kept secret. It was interesting, Undertaker seemed like he was a little taken back. Maybe it was because of the outcome of the fight between Cain and Brock. Who is to say, I'm really not sure it was just really bizarre.

Early Reviews: Abyss, Atomic Robo, Neozoic
Normally a comic is reviewed just a few weeks before it is released, but with Red 5's initial offering making its Diamond Previews debut this month and retailers and customers alike unfamiliar with our work, we decided to send out some copies early.
The comics speak for themselves, but since you don't have your copies yet… here's what others have to say…
Atomic Robo #1
- Newsarama Best Shots
"Wow… I really liked this book. It was pure fun, something often lacking in comics today. It's filled with action, adventure, and snappy dialog. Who doesn't love a smart-ass robot! Stan Lee would love this book!"
- Silver Bullet Comics
"Beautiful retro design that recalls the Art Deco era, characters that make you laugh, and story from page one. This is slam-bam jet fueled afterburner fun from the get-go."
- Silver Bullet Comicbooks (the other one)
"The dialogue is sharpest in this, with lines that frequently made me grin, and more than once laugh out loud. The art is somewhat reminiscent of Hellboy, but with a cleaner look and sharper lines. It's definitely professional and damn pretty to look at."
- Comics and…
"Crisp story telling and a good handle on some humorous dialogue."
- Comic World News
"Make sure you look for this one! Grade A"
- Poptown!
"While the first issue is very action packed, the outline for future issue promises the sort of pulp-style historical/sci-fi adventure that I really dig."
- Gail Simone (writer Wonder Woman, Birds of Prey)
"I just wanted to say this looks EXCELLENT. I'm definitely buying this. This is your first book together and it looks this good? Nicely done, mister! Hope it's a big success. I love the understatement, and the art's gorgeous"
- Rack Raids
"Brian Clevenger's script is imaginative and fun, the dialog is witty… Overall the book is just robot-stomping-on-Nazis action, what's not to enjoy?"
- The Comic Fanatic
"The dialogue is snappy and tight and the story moves at a fantastic breakneck page-turning pace. This is one you won't be able to put down."
Abyss #1
- Silver Bullet Comicbooks
"I'll just come right out and say it; this book was a really good read. The artwork by Marangon is top notch. Many upstart publishers are shying away from the capes stuff nowadays, and I like the stones it took for Red 5 to put this book out. With a couple more titles like this under its belt, this publisher just might be going places."
- Silver Bullet Comics (no, the other one)
"What I got was a smart, funny riff on Super Villains and the complicated family lives they must lead. By no means is this a Watchmen style deconstruction of the genre. Instead, the creators Kevin Rubio and Lucas Marangon have delivered a rousing and fun take that moves swiftly into complication."
- Poptown!
"Abyss delivered on these expectations. It features some of the same humor and tips of the hat that Tag & Bink featured; but toned down enough to make for an engaging story of super-villainy and the choices that Eric Hoffman has to make – does he become the hero or the villain?"
- Silver Bullet Comicbooks (same one, different review)
"This comic has a lot going for it: a great cover, great interior artwork, an intelligent premise and a good deal of humorous dialogue. If crafted with great care throughout the next three issues, Rubio can hit one out of the park with this story."
- Newsarama Best Shots
"Kevin Rubio lampoons his way through a story that had me clamoring for more as soon as I finished it."
- Rack Raids
"If you're finding your pull list a bit top-heavy with grit and grimness lately, Abyss might be just the change of pace you're looking for."
- The Comic Fanatic
"Witty repartee, tight dialogue, sweet art and pop culture references galore… These days, it's hard to offer up something new and fresh when it comes to the capes and tights set, but Rubio and Marangon do it with ease! Miss this one at your own peril!"
Neozoic #1
- Comics and…
"This book hits the mark; it does what comics do better then anyone else. It tells a fantastic adventure in a fantastic setting and tells it well. Of course I was sold with just the cover, a dinosaur, a beautiful woman and a big sword; this replaces whiskers on kittens and raindrops on roses as some of my favorite things."
- Poptown!
"The book has some beautiful art and is perfect for the look of the book and the story moves at a fast pace."
- Silver Bullet Comicbooks
"As I am noticing with Red 5 books, the pacing is smooth with a good mix of dialogue and action… The action sequences were the standout part of the issue, which of course is another tip of the hat to the art team."
- Prehistoric Pulp
"If you get a kick out of watching a hot chick take down a T. rex with nothing more than a sword and a gauntlet that shoots acid — à la Buffy the Vampire Slayer with dinosaurs — this title is for you."
- The Comic Fanatic
"This one was one of the best sci-fi/fantasy comic books I have read in ages… This debut issue is a great example of what the first issue of a new comic book series should be."
- Writer Andrew Foley
"Had a chance to look at the first issues of NEOZOIC, ABYSS, and ATOMIC ROBO, the initial offerings from Calgary-based Red-5 Comics, and I've got to say, I was very impressed. Some fun and/or interesting concepts, solid writing, great art right across the board, nice, professional production values…if one's going to try and launch a small press comic company, this is the way to do it. If Red-5 can maintain the level of quality in the issues I saw, keep to their schedule, not wander too far from the sci-fantasy niche the first books occupy, and not flood the market with too many titles too fast, they might be able to survive, even eventually thrive, in a hostile direct market. Here's hoping…"
Check back as we'll be adding other reviews as they come in.
Please remember that since Red 5 is a brand new publisher, you'll likely have to pre-order yours by August 16 in order to get a copy. For your convenience, you can print this form for your local comic shop, or Red 5 Comics can be ordered online from Things from Another World, Badger Comics, Perpetual Comics or Mail Order Comics.

'The Office:' … And Goodbye, Dwight K. Schrute
So the talk around the cubicle this morning revolved around whether last night's episode was the best of the season so far. I think it might be. After the cold open — which felt a little throw-away, as most of them are, but was really funny and gave us some quality Jam interaction — there […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Welcome back, Dwight K. Shrute
"Traveling Salesmen" was simply an amazing episode and just as I was losing faith in the show, too. It was flawless, really. It was the latest proof that "The Office" is the best comedy on TV right now. You got the further development of the Pam, Jim, Karen thing. You've got more Jim vs. Dwight, […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Something to look forward to
The rumors have been floating around for a few days now that Joss Whedon AND J.J. Abrams, creators of such geektacular television as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Lost," will each direct an episode of "The Office" some time soon. Too good to be true? Apparently, not. Our pals at the Entertainment Weekly pop culture […] [Read More]
'The Office:' A new episode — hurray!
Our national nightmare of no new episodes (damn you, holidays!) was broken spectacularly with "Back from Vacation," a terrific episode that was both fall-off-couch funny and, in one pitch-perfect instance, surprisingly heartbreaking. The opening — an unexpectedly professional meeting in the conference room — kicked things off beautifully with Jim taking full advantage of Dwight's […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Love triangle good, episode bad
"Back From Vacation" was absolutely brilliant in advancing the Jim, Pam and Karen love triangle. Last we saw Jim, he was giving Michael some advice about chicks, when he was really giving it to himself, too. About how the rebound girl makes you realize how much you really care about the ex-girlfriend. He was trying […] [Read More]
'The Office': No 'Party,' but 'Benihana' still rocked
So Karen's the rebound girl? Come on. I can't believe the writers of "The Office" are going to let us viewers off the hook that easily. I sure hope not. I want the writers to twist the knife. I want them to pour salt on the wound. I want to share Pam's pain for just […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Drop your 'Office' quotes like they're hot (That's what she said)
To wet your "Office" appetite in anticipation for the hour-long "A Benihana Christmas" tomorrow, I offer this website, called Twiztv.com, which has unofficial scripts of all of the episodes of "The Office." These are not the actual scripts. They are transcripts of the show. So someone actually sat down and wrote the words, like I […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Shopping for fans
Yeah, I know — no new "Office" 'til next week. Hopefully, the "My Name is Earl" folks will earn their extra 30 minutes, and not squander it the way the "30 Rock" team (except for the brilliant Alec Baldwin) does week after week. (We're getting our very own hour of "The Office" next week.) Dunder […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Still funny, but out of character
To totally rip off Siskel and Ebert, I'm giving "The Convict" a slight, barely beyond 45 degrees thumbs up. There were some very funny moments. I laughed out loud over Andy's courtship of Pam and, of course, Michael's "Scared Straight" routine. My main problem was with Ricky Gervais and Stephan Merchant holding the pen. Fine […] [Read More]
'The Office:' Hits and misses
The prospect of an "Office" episode written by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant, who created the brilliant British series from whence it came, was enticing. And big chunks of last night's episode lived up to that promise, particularly Jim's "tips" to Andy on how to win over Pam, and Pam's delight at being the "victim" […] [Read More]

Chris Evans showed up on The Tonight Show Tuesday (1 April) night to chat up his latest flick Captain America: The Winter Soldier.
But it was his younger brother, openly gay actor Scott Evans, who stole the show.
The Evans brothers were asked by host Jimmy Fallon to play The Sibling Wed Game, a version of the popular Newlywed Game. It involved asking each brother the same question while the other can't hear to see if their answers match.
Hilarious childhood stories are told with the future Captain America the instigator and his future soap opera star brother as his innocent victim.
There was the time Chris tricked Scott into peeing his pants and the time Scott took the blame for ripping down a giant patch of wallpaper along a staircase.
Worst of all, there was the time when Chris smacked Scott with a paperback Peter Pan book while they were riding in a car with their mom. The book connected with the stiches Scott had on his head from an earlier mishap.
'Literally the stitches exploded,' Scott Evans told the audience. 'My skin couldn't hold it together.'
As adults, it was Chris who publicly outed Scott during an interview he gave to The Advocate. This was prior to Scott's casting on the now-cancelled ABC daytime soap opera One Life to Live as gay police office Oliver Fish.

Farm Bureau supports action to remove gray wolf from endangered species listThe Minnesota gray wolf should be removed immediately from the federal government's endangered and threatened species list and returned to state management, according to a petition filed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
By: Staff Report, Alexandria Echo Press
The Minnesota gray wolf should be removed immediately from the federal government's endangered and threatened species list and returned to state management, according to a petition filed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR).
It's an action supported by Minnesota Farm Bureau, Minnesota Farmers Union, Minnesota State Cattlemen's Association and Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers.
"Minnesota's gray wolf population has clearly exceeded the recovery goals established under the federal Endangered Species Act," said Minnesota Farm Bureau Federation President Kevin Paap. "We have more wolves than every state except Alaska. Once the wolf is delisted, our state has an effective wolf management plan in place to ensure a viable gray wolf population in the future, while providing farmers and ranchers who suffer from wolf depredation more options for protecting their livestock."
According to the DNR, Minnesota's wolf population has more than doubled the delisting goal of 1,252-1,400 wolves with an estimated population of approximately 3,000 wolves. Human-wolf conflicts are on the rise. Since 1978, federal officials have removed more than 3,000 wolves from Minnesota in response to depredation of livestock.
Minnesota Department of Agriculture Commissioner Gene Hugoson supports the DNRs petition.
"Since 1998, we have received more than 1,000 claims from producers who lost livestock to wolves, and Minnesota taxpayers have spent nearly a million dollars to compensate them for those losses," said Hugoson.
Several farm groups support this action.
"Minnesota Farmers Union strongly supports the petition request from the DNR to de-list the gray wolf and urges the federal government to support the request," said Minnesota Farmers Union President Doug Peterson,
"Minnesota Cattlemen applaud the petition that DNR filed with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Services to delist the gray wolf," said Minnesota State Cattlemen's Association President Ted Reichmann.
"Wolves cause serious economic losses for livestock producers in Minnesota and this is an important step in helping to provide some relief," said Minnesota Lamb and Wool Producers Association President Don Adelmann.
"Minnesota Farm Bureau will continue to work collaboratively with other farm groups and with our state and federal officials to once again remove the gray wolf from the threatened and endangered species list," said Paap.
Minnesota Farm Bureau is comprised of 78 local Farm Bureaus across Minnesota. Members make their views known to political leaders, state government officials, special interest groups and the general public. Programs for young farmers and ranchers develop leadership skills and improve farm management. Promotion and Education Committee members work with programs such as Ag in the Classroom and safety education for children.

Hello to one and all and a Merry Christmas.
I am a 42 year old single father of a wonderful 3 year old boy named Charley,no work is out there for me so we have decided to make our own wood fired organic bread from our home,we have a large garage and a good sized garden so we want to convert the garage to a bakery and build onto it a wood fired bread oven to be capable of making a good honest,tasty and natural loaf to sell in blackpool,naturally its a big undertaking but i have some building skills and i can weld,i am a keen cook and plan to take a bread making course dealing with these ovens,im looking for advice on building the oven and where i can get or pay for plans-i have already got a free supply of wood as i have traipsed around the wood yards who have let me take there surplus wood stocks on a permanent basis for loaves at dinner time lol.The oven should be able to make around 50 loaves at a time-is there anyone out there who has done a similar venture or who has practical knowledge.
With kind regards Martin and Charley.
Re: Help
That sounds like a great undertaking for you and your son. I would wager that there would be a really good market for your breads, follow your dream Martin.
Re: Help
You may want to look for a barrel vault oven instead of the pompeii, but we can still help you with details. Start by downloading the free plans for the pompeii from the fornobravo store. Then search the forums for Barrel ovens or Barrel vault ovens. We have quite a few members who have built these ovens. They generally have more mass in the dome which will allow you to bake commercial volumes of bread. You could also pick up a copy of "the bread builders" by Alan Scott and Daniel Wing. You can buy plans for those ovens I think, but you can probably piece it together from pictures and discussions here.

Re: Help
Hello Martin,
I think you need to compare the round pizza ovens with a barrel oven, for a commercial bread operation.
Our local, commercial, wood fired bakery uses a 4'x6' hearth, barrel oven. See this link, The Bread Lady
The oven uses a massive amount of wood, (1 cord per firing), but will bake 100's of loaves all day, ready for market. Would be interesting to compare performance with say, a 50" round pizza oven?

Rational Recovery (RR) is a source of counseling, guidance, and direct instruction on self-recovery from addiction, alcohol and other drugs through planned, permanent abstinence designed as an alternative to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Twelve step programs. RR was founded in 1986 by Jack Trimpey, a California licensed clinical social worker. Rational Recovery is a for-profit organization. Jack works in the field of treatment of alcoholism and other drug addictions. He admits to 25 years of "world class alcoholism", from which experience he developed his system of self recovery based on a process of gradually refusing to continue drinking.
In essence, the RR method is to first make a commitment to planned, permanent abstinence from the undesirable substance or behavior, and then equip oneself with the mental tools to stick to that commitment. While nomenclature differs, the methods are similar to those used in Beck et al's Cognitive Therapy of Substance Disorders (see Beck et al) and other belief-, attitude- and appraisal-challenging and cognitive restructuring schemes (see Garrett).
The RR program is based on recognizing and defeating what the program refers to as the "addictive voice" (internal thoughts that support self-intoxication) and dissociation from addictive impulses. The specific techniques of Addictive Voice Recognition Technique (AVRT) are concerned with demonstrating to the practitioner that the practitioner is in control of the addictive voice, not the other way around.
The notions that internal thoughts support self-intoxication and that the practitioner is in control of the addictive voice have become foundational in "evidence-based" treatment schemes at more progressive substance abuse treatment facilities in the US, Australia and the UK. These facilities base their programs on the success of Rational-Emotive Behavioral Therapy (see Albert Ellis et al), Cognitive/Behavioral Therapy (see Aaron Beck et al, Cognitive Appraisal Therapy (see Richard Wessler et al), and Schematherapy (see Jeffrey Young et al) for anxiety and depression, as well as for substance abuse.
While RR and AA promote abstinence, the programs use different strategies.
Critics have accused RR of being anti-religious. The RR FAQ states:
RR claims to remain neutral on the subject of religiosity and sobriety. RR founder Jack Trimpey explains, "...RR is not interested in having people give up any of their religious beliefs; it's just none of our business what people believe about gods and saints. The only exception here, of course, is when one is 'depending' on a rescuing deity in order to remain sober. If that is one's preference, then AA is an ideal program."
RR claims that "AVRT has made recovery groups obsolete." In 1998, RR announced, "The Recovery Group Movement is Over!...Beginning January 1, 1999, all addiction recovery group meetings (AA, NA, CA, SOS, WFS, ADASN [aka, SMART Recovery which spun off from RR and still offers groups], AAARG, MM, JACS, Al-Anon, AlaTeen, SLAA, etc.) in the United States and Canada are cancelled and will not be rescheduled."
In a 1993 research study lead by Mark Galanter, former president of both the American Society of Addiction Medicine and the American Association of Addiction Psychiatry, attempted to measure the impact of RR on members. The research found that "RR succeeded in engaging substance abusers and promoting abstinence among many of them while presenting a cognitive orientation that is different from the spiritual one of AA. Its utility in substance abuse treatment warrants further assessment." This research was conducted before RR disbanded their meetings in favor of self-recovery treatment. SMART Recovery split from RR just after this research and continues to offer these same groups.

THE immune system picks its fights carefully. It may ignore an innocuous glob of protein, but will swing into action against a bacterial cell. Now researchers in Britain and the US have discovered a way to make an innocent bystander protein the focus of a vicious immunological attack. The finding may lead to more efficient vaccines.
Part of the body's defence against microorganisms is a group of proteins known as "complement". Unlike the cells that produce antibodies, complement does not need to learn to attack the enemy. The proteins know microorganisms when they see them and glue themselves to the cells' surfaces, drilling holes in their membranes and increasing blood flow to draw in immune cells.
Recently, there have been hints that the complement and antibody arms of the immune system are subtly connected. For example, if the mouse complement protein C3 is knocked out using injected antibodies or drugs, ...

In this Pink Courage report Neile Jones explains how an "extension" could help extend life for some breast cancer patients.
A trip to the hair salon for Rachel Petty is about much more than adding a 'pop of color', she says, "It represents the fight for breast cancer and a cure for breast cancer."
Petty says, as a 5 year non-hodgkins lymphoma survivor, she knows all too well about the fight against cancer.
And she's not the only cancer survivor in her family, "My grandmother and my mother and my mother-in-law area all breast cancer survivors."
On the day we caught up with her family friend and stylist, Nikki Corning was helping Petty with some pink extensions as part of the She by so. Cap. Usa's Pink Hair For Hope Campaign. Corning says, "The pink extension is just something small, fashionable that somebody can come in and do real quick. Any age can come in as well. It's something that takes a short amount of time to show your small part to be able to support a great cause."
For 10 dollars you pick your pink and then wear it with pride knowing the company says funds from it's campaign will be used to help in the fight against breast cancer.
Petty says, "To me cancer is cancer. We are all in the same fight together just raising awareness about it. And we all can support each other no matter what kind of cancer it is."
Which is why this survivor is wearing her pink in style.
Now if pink is not your style you can always just make a donation to the cause as well.
And just so you know, we caught up with these ladies at the Enve in Fayetteville.

More unsettled weather expected this afternoon
It was an active afternoon and evening for many folks yesterday, and we are expecting similar conditions later today.
Friday: Partly Cloudy, Scat'd PM Storms
Highs: 86-90 | Wind: S 2-8
Tonight: Lingering Storms Early, Patchy Fog
Lows: 66-72 | Wind: S 2-8
Saturday: Partly Cloudy, Slight Chance PM Storm
Highs: Near 90 | Wind: S 5-10
We're starting our Friday with sunshine and seasonable temperatures, but more scattered storms are in the works for this afternoon. Parts of our region had heavy rain and hail yesterday, and we cannot rule out similar conditions today with a few, brief severe storms possible this afternoon and evening. Today will feel just like the past few days with highs near 90, and this will be the case into the weekend as well. It still looks as though Saturday will be the better day this weekend with partly cloudy skies, and only a slight chance of a few afternoon storms. Whereas on Sunday, we have a better chance of widespread thunderstorms some of which could come by lunchtime. Then a cold front will drop the humidity for Tuesday.

We pioneered a different approach to motor vehicle finance when the goGreen® Car Loan was created. Interest rates on goGreen® Car Loans are determined according to how 'green' your vehicle is. The lower the greenhouse emissions from the car you want to purchase, the lower the interest rate.
This loan is suitable for new and used cars with a greenhouse rating of 7+ or ANCAP rating of 5.
We base emissions ratings on the Green Vehicle Guide produced by the federal Government's Department of Climate Change.
Next we offset 100% of your car's greenhouse gas emissions for the life of your loan. We do this via bankmecu's Conservation Landbank on your behalf.^
In what we believe is a world first whenever a customer purchases a vehicle that has an ANCAP (Australian New Car Assessment Program) rating of 5, they'll be rewarded with a discounted goGreen® car loan interest rate.
Learn more about the ANCAP safety rating at www.ancap.com.au.
A responsible approach to motor vehicle finance means doing something positive to address the fact that accidents involving cars are one of the major causes of death amongst young Australians. So to help turn this situation around we want all people to purchase safer cars and we also want our least experienced drivers to be trained in how to drive safely. So now whenever bankmecu customers under the age of 25 take out a goGreen® car loan and insurance with bankmecu, we'll provide a $200 rebate to those who complete an accredited Advanced Driver Training course.
For all the latest motoring news and reviews, bankmecu recommends www.goauto.com.au. Also look out for our regular eNews which contains car reviews.
Personal Loans Significant Terms and Conditions
^bankmecu forward credits offsets for greenhouse gas emissions produced by your car each year for the term of the loan. The level of offset is in accordance with advice from Landcare Australia that the average car in Australia produces 4 tCO2-e per year. This forward credited offset is provided by bankmecu planting trees. As these trees grow they will absorb the equivalent amount of tCO2-e required to offset your car emissions during the term of your loan. Trees will be planted into the bankmecu Conservation Landbank in accordance with the land management plan developed and implemented by Landcare Australia and overseen by Trust for Nature.
