Warren Ellis has a new column appearing weekly on VICE magazine's website. In his most recent piece, "The Death of Fun in Politics," Ellis has interesting things to say regarding the lack of "authentic monsters" in the world of politics today.
And his thoughts on Lyndon Johnson are particularly entertaining:
It's kind of awful to contrast [Obama], with, say, Lyndon Johnson, a man so frightening that to this day some people still believe the legend about him skull-fucking John Kennedy's dead head during the flight back from Dallas. Washingtonians spoke of "The Johnson Treatment", where they would discover that Johnson knew everything about them and beat their minds into submission with a welter of promises, debts and threats. Johnson blithely destroyed South American democracies, almost started World War III a couple of times, drove civil rights through, became the first President to cause the arrest of Klan members in a century, and threw the '68 election to Richard Nixon. He was clearly unbalanced and lived to intimidate people. He was interesting. Democrats today just can't compare.


text: Nixon Memo Reveals Ailes' Plan for Fox Prototype TV great, memo said, because people don't like to think By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted Jul 1, 2011 7:35 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (22) (Newser) – Where did Roger Ailes get the idea for Fox News? Maybe from a Nixon-era memo aptly titled "A Plan For Putting the GOP on TV," that envisioned a kind of proto-Fox News delivering "pro-administration" news to stations around the country. The 1970 memo, which Gawker found buried in the Richard Nixon Presidential Library, wanted to avoid the "censorship, the priorities, and the prejudices" of network news by taping their own segments. With cable then a smaller phenomenon, the plan was to tape segments and rush them to local newsrooms around the country, banking on them to accept the free content. The memo is anonymous, but has Ailes' handwriting all over it. "Basically an excellent idea," he commented, offering to run the program. But he warned that the administration "will get some flap about news management." Roger Ailes, right, testifies during a hearing on election night 2000 coverage by the networks before the House committee on energy and commerce February 14, 2001 on Capitol Hill.

A Bad Day for Harold the Helicopter, retitled A Bad Day for Harold in American releases, is the fourth episode of the sixth season.
Percy is getting annoyed that Harold keeps on delivering the mail, even though it's his job, but Harold just says it's what friends are for. One morning, Percy is happily delivering the mail, but gets stuck at a broken signal. He could not go past it as it was stuck at danger, so Harold had to be called to take the mail for him. At first they load a few bags in his net, but Harold demands that all the mail should be loaded in so he isn't slow, like Percy. So they load all the mail into the net, and Harold begins to set off.
Just as Harold sets off with the mail, the signal is fixed. Everyone tries to call Harold back, but he does not hear them. But his net is far too heavy for him. While he is up in the air, his engine starts to rattle and the heavy mail causes him to lose control. The mail net gets stuck in a tree and Harold falls down into a haystack. Percy was shocked and puffs over to Harold and asks if he is alright. Harold tells Percy to get someone to pull him out of the haystack, which he does at once.
Back at Tidmouth Sheds, some of the engines were teasing Harold. The helicopter thanks Percy for helping him out of the haystack and Percy said that is what friends are for.

CHAMBERSBURG >> Nathanael Zimmerman, 38, was sentenced on Wednesday for four charges for driving a vehicle into a house, causing the house to ignite.
Zimmerman pleaded guilty to charges of reckless endangerment, criminal mischief, flight to avoid apprehension and driving with a suspended license — DUI related, on Aug. 14, and was sentenced by Franklin County Judge Carol Van Horn on Wednesday morning at Franklin County Courthouse.
Zimmerman was convicted of four counts of reckless endangerment charges, according to court documents, giving him four consecutive sentences of between 11 months and 15 days and 23 months of incarceration. He also was ordered to pay restitution of $178,812.81 to Erie Insurance.
On Jan. 13, around 3:45 a.m., Zimmerman crashed his red Jeep Cherokee into 2349 Black Gap Road, Greene Township, then fled the scene. When Pennsylvania State Police arrived on scene, the car and residence were engulfed in flames, and the homeowner and a witness were present, according to court documents. The house sustained major fire damage from the crash.
Zimmerman had been driving behind the witness, speeding and tailgating the other vehicle. Zimmerman attempted to pass the vehicle on the road, but hit an embankment and vaulted approximately 50 feet into the air before striking the corner of the home, according to court documents. By the time the witness got to Zimmerman's vehicle, it was on fire and Zimmerman had fled.
When Zimmerman was found by police through the registration plate on the vehicle, he had bruises on his face and other minor cuts and abrasions on his body, according to court documents.
According to court documents, Zimmerman had two prior violations for driving while his license was suspended for driving under the influence.
Zimmerman was ordered to complete drug and alcohol treatment, as well as any other treatment program deemed necessary by the court.
He is also prohibited from having contact with two men, one woman and a juvenile.
Zimmerman was also ordered to pay four fines of $150 for the reckless endangerment charges, as well as other court fees.

Well, the site rocks I must say. Only thing i did not like is the email subscription box. Not as elegant as the rest of the site :(
And also the favicon is missing.
That's all.
Wonderful blog.
Thanks a lot Steven. Will fix it.
The design rocks :) It looks very perfect from every side. You just mainly need to concentrate on the content!
I would say add more content. I personally think you should invest in a unique theme if you're going to be hanging onto the blog for a long time.
The design really rocks. I loved the description of the blog. The only thing I felt is the favicon is missing and its taking a bit more time in dial-up modem which I have.
Great blog overall, header is pretty good and the feed button rocks! Where did you get it from?
Although the background might be a little too much, bills floating everywhere, makes it look a tad unprofessionnal.
Good job!

Noelle Mattock and Terry Crumpley survived a polite but crowded contest for the two El Dorado Hills Community Services District board seats contested on Nov. 6.
With all precincts reporting, the county Elections Department's "Semi-official election night final report" had Crumpley in first place with 4,441 votes or 21.27 percent; followed by Mattock's 4,382 votes or 20.98 percent; Chuck Hammond's 3,822 votes or 18.3 percent; Guy Gertsch's 3,064 votes or 14.67 percent; Don Clark's 2,847 votes or 13.63 percent; and Bill Tobin's 2,250 votes or 10.77 percent.
The race pitted two confident incumbents determined to overcome a contentious and ultimately litigious firing of former General Manager John Skeel against four strong challengers with long and varied public service resumes.
Incumbents Gertsch and Mattock boasted a strong record of park projects and a financial turnaround in the face of unprecedented revenue shortfalls. Challenger Crumpley had no prior elected experience. She entered the race as the first candidate for local office to overtly tout a Tea Party affiliation, but had little name recognition outside Tea Party circles.
Crumpley said she expected to be neck and neck, at best, with her fellow challengers, especially Bill Tobin. She was genuinely sad when Gertsch conceded in an emotional text message.
"I would like to congratulate Noelle Mattock and Terry Crumpley on their victory in the El Dorado Hills CSD race this evening. They will both serve our community well over the next four years," Gertsch stated in a press release. "It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the El Dorado Hills community over the past four years. We have an amazing community with great opportunities for the future."
Mattock also acknowledged the depth of the field and said she hopes the challengers remain active in the CSD.
Money doesn't appear to be a huge factor in either victor's success. Both reported raising roughly $3,000. Crumpley also loaned herself $1,200, she said.

Lyon - The "Fabuleuses traversées" of the final year pupils at Jean Giono primary school
In an effort to find out more about their origins and their present identities, the pupils of a final year class (CM2) at Jean Giono primary school in Lyon put on a show in April 2014, after six months' preparation in the form of workshops. The show consisted of the projection of pictures and photographs, the reading, recital and singing of texts etc. in what they chose to call "Fabuleuses traversées" (fabulous crossings) – the history of their families and the different stages in their lives.
How did this project take form? In Lyon, which is a member of the Intercultural Cities Network, civil society is working very actively to promote "living together" through its associations. For example, La Maison des Passages is conducting a cultural project based on intercultural activities. In the context of its partnerships, the association supports numerous initiatives aimed at fostering shared knowledge, respect for diversity and democratic values. It also intervenes in schools in the form of workshops that are run in co-operation with the teachers, and in which "otherness" is explored through different types of artistic expression. A project was set up at Jean Giono primary school at the request of the headmaster and teachers, who were having to deal with conflicts between pupils. The idea was to create the conditions for pupils' "reconciliation" with their own history and with that of those who are different.
The work carried out in the final class workshop was based on themes such as: objects and their symbolic role; fairy tales and oral transmission; voyages: across the world; the history of my family; France, a country of many cultures; France, a country of many colours; Today's France; Tomorrow's France; What does it mean to be French?; My dreams of Tomorrow…
In this search for plural identities, the pupils were invited to consider what made them think about not only their own culture but also the culture of others, and this constituted the originality and the value of the project. When all these discoveries had been shared, they led to a show where "everyone mixes, rubs shoulders and invites their classmates to discover and get to know one another better".
La Maison des Passages has conducted several other similar activities at Jean Giono primary school: also in 2014, the pupils in the last class but one (CM1) set out to discover countries and poets in an activity entitled "Poèmes … au ciel de la terre" (Poems … in the heaven of earth); in 2013 a CM2 class presented their idea of a shared future in a show entitled "Traversées: nous sommes l'avenir!" (Crossings: we are the future), while a CM1 class expressed its hopes, aspirations and sorrows in a poetic register in a show entitled "Mon cœur bat sans hésiter" (My heart beats freely").
Following the different workshops conducted by La Maison des Passages, the educational team at Jean Giono primary school noted a distinct improvement in relations between the pupils. The Association has published booklets on these powerful experiences. If you would like to obtain any of these booklets, please contact:

By Vladimir Duthiers, CNN
Many women in Nigeria make this clear: they want to have lighter-colored skin.
Cosmetic skin bleaches are all the vogue, but the risks may outweigh the perceived benefits.
Fair and white, that's exactly what Lilian Irek would like to be. And the makers of fair and white and other skin lightening creams tell us that business has never been better.
The business of beauty is booming in Lagos, Nigeria. In fact, the World Health Organization says that 77 percent of Nigerian women use skin bleaching or skin-toning cosmetics, something that dermatologists say can be damaging to skin long-term.
The women CNN spoke with in one beauty shop say for them, it doesn't matter. It's all about looking good.
"When you're fair, people easily notice you, you're noticed everywhere, but when you're dark it will be a bit difficult for people to notice you," said Selina Nkwocha, sales representative for Kuddy Cosmetics.
However, just like tanning in the west, when not used properly, bleaching can have devastating effects on health. The main component in the cream is hydroquinone, a chemical the European Union and Japan have banned in cosmetics.
A spokesperson for Nigeria's National Agency for Food and Drug Administration tells CNN it allows a maximum of two percent hydroquinone in cosmetics. That's in line with over-the-counter so-called "brightening products" in the U.S. and Canada.
While these products are fine for removing blemishes and dark spots, the agency it tries to educate people about the hazards of prolonged bleaching.
Reporter: "Hydroquinone is a dangerous substance?"
"Yes, that's one of the dangerous substances," said Dr. Yetunde Mercy Olumide, dermatologist and professor emeritus with the University of Lagos.
Specifically, doctors here say hydroquinone can be harmful because it makes the skin lose its elasticity. That can cause complications during surgeries and caesarean childbirths.
"The abdominal suture line doesn't heal, so you find what we call burst abdomen. I've seen it live, no stories, you know, and of course what follows, overwhelming infection, shock, and they die," said Dr. Olumide.
Still, even women who know the risks are buying, and Nigerian society's attitude towards light skin, is just driving this trend.
"For me personally I like lighter skin women," said Cyril Okoi.
Reporter: "What would you tell a young girl or a young woman that is attracted to the idea of bleaching their skin?"
"I would say first of all, primarily, I would want to tell them black is beautiful," said Dr. Olumide.

SOUTH KINGSTOWN ŌĆō Through the collaboration of South Kingstown High School students and University of Rhode Island landscape architecture seniors, the high schoolŌĆÖs landscape may take on a new shape in coming years.
When Andrew Gannon, a senior at South Kingstown High School visited his school in the summer of 2009, he noticed the schoolŌĆÖs grass was left uncut and the landscape drab. He wanted to do something about it. Soon after, he enlisted the help of other high school students and created the Habitat for Community, a volunteer group that works to improve the Columbia Street buildingŌĆÖs appearance for its students and teachers.
Gannon, who will pursue construction management when he graduates in the spring, met with the maintenance supervisor. Though the maintenance department was initially reluctant to allow students repaint classrooms, Gannon was able to obtain three paint cans for each classroom. With the rest of Habitat for Community, the students repainted the high schoolŌĆÖs classrooms with artistic murals. These murals include a picturesque rendering of the human skeleton and musculoskeletal system and a pond ecosystem for the biology classrooms.
From there, Habitat for CommunityŌĆÖs vision for the high school only grew.
Last year, social studies teacher Jeffrey Taber met with University of Rhode Island professor and chairman of the Department of Landscape Architecture William Green during the high schoolŌĆÖs annual clean up day. Taber hoped for a more organized and planned clean up day. Green told Taber he would be willing to allow his fall URI landscape students to work with the high school to devise five master plans to make the high schoolŌĆÖs landscape more sustainable.
The plan was something that would help Habitat for Community achieve its goal of creating a better campus for the high school community.
Each year Green selects a project for his Landscape Architecture Sustainable Design Studio class made up of seniors to get real life experience in the field. In past years, URI students have worked with the new charter school, the Green School to create master plans to improve its landscape and environmental approach.
The URI students held two workshops thus far in November, seeking community input and interest. On Tuesday, Dec. 20 at the high school, the students will present their final plans.
Some of those plans include suggestions for rerouting parking, using the groundwater again, creating an ecosystem and using green roofs. During a workshop held Nov. 9 at the high school, URI students discussed with community members what they valued in terms of grounds of the high school. They discussed creating a sustainable use of rain water, safety concerns around the school, traffic patterns and the possibility of outdoor classrooms.
ŌĆ£[URI students] are a resource for us. They understand the current issues of landscape and beautification. This has been a stimulus for the high school community about those things,ŌĆØ Taber said. ŌĆ£I think all of American society is struggling to decide how concerned we should be with energy use and our personal response.ŌĆØ
With these proposed plans, Taber and Gannon hope they can utilize the ideas to make a better landscape for their school.
ŌĆ£Optimally weŌĆÖll use many components over several years. ItŌĆÖs likely we can take visual elements of the designs and implement them,ŌĆØ Taber said.
Taber and Gannon know that some of the projects will require support from the town of South Kingstown and the school committee who control the budgetary considerations for the school. Though McCarthy has been working to enlist the support of the school committee, he said none of it would have been possible without Gannon and Taber.
With URI students working with the high school students, Green said it has been a good collaboration.
ŌĆ£My interest is exposing high school students to a career in landscape architecture,ŌĆØ Green said.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs been a nice marriage between two groups who have an investment in the short term and see the benefit,ŌĆØ South Kingstown High School Principal Robert McCarthy said.
The University students will make their final presentations on re-visualizing the rebels on Tuesday, Dec. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at the South Kingstown High School Library.

All signs point to the end of the Canadian seal hunt. The European Union's (EU) ban of seal product imports in 2009 was a big step, and Canada has unsuccessfully been trying to get the ban lifted since. With the demand for their seal pelts declining rapidly, Canada struck a deal with China this year to sell seal meat and oil, but the deal has so far been postponed. The movement to end the seal hunt continues to grow and attract big celebrity names including Ellen DeGeneres, Kesha, and Bill Maher.
Today, another big hit to Canada's seal hunt hit the news. Russia has banned imports of harp seal products. According to a statement by Sheryl Fink, Seal Programme Director for International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), the ban by the Customs Union of Belarus, Kazakhstan, and the Russian Federation is the biggest win in the campaign against the hunt since the EU ban. Russia ended their seal hunt in 2009 with Putin calling it a "bloody industry" that "should have been banned years ago." Now, this ban is another big step as Russia imported approximately 90% of Canada's seal exports.
Fink says that IFAW has played a big role in this progress. "IFAW's campaign efforts have a history of successes in Russia, beginning with our efforts to end the slaughter of whitecoat seal pups by helicopter in the White Sea. Our teams observed and documented the Russian harp seal hunt in the White Sea in 1995 for the first time, and we were the first organization to campaign to end the Russian seal slaughter. Documentaries of the White Sea hunt were produced and widely shown on Russian television, along with photos and news articles. Thanks to IFAW, the Russian seal hunt could not remain hidden, and this cruel slaughter soon became public knowledge."
Fink continued, "The Belarus-Kazakhstan-Russian trade ban is a significant victory that should be celebrated by all concerned with animal welfare and wildlife conservation…The time has come to acknowledge that the world does not want, nor need, cruel seal products. It is time to stop commercial seal hunting once and for all." As the demand for seal products declines and the world's awareness of the cruelty involved in the hunt grows, how much longer will Canada be clubbing and shooting seals?

The forecast was calling for rain all day Saturday… so I planned ahead and got my yarkwork done on Friday… so I could have a lazy Saturday (after I got my long run in… which turned out to not be so long). Between naps and some major couch time… I baked some bread.
I found the recipe via Pinterest. It was quite easy to make… and smelled awesome. I had some for breakfast on Sunday and it tasted pretty good too.

Steelers' Bell doesn't need surgery on foot
Steelers/NFL Videos
Le'Veon Bell's final training camp summary: four carries, three injuries, one big scare, zero surgeries.
Bell, the Steelers' projected opening-day running back, is hobbling on crutches, his sprained right foot encased in a boot. About all the exercising he can do is walking and picking up marbles with his toes.
Still, Bell and the Steelers are encouraged by the prognosis from two medical teams that he won't need surgery and that his recovery is expected to come sooner than later. By contrast, tight end Matt Spaeth's Lisfranc injury required surgery to repair a tear.
Neither Bell nor the Steelers are projecting when he will return, but Bell hinted it won't be long.
"I feel like if my foot even gets close for me being able to play on it, I'm going to try to play on it," Bell said Thursday.
This isn't the way a running back known for durability at Michigan State expected to begin his career: a bruised knee and sprained foot within two weeks of each other. But Bell plans to make the best of a situation that could be worse, although he said he is a frustrated at spending so much of his first preseason in the trainers' room.
"It's something I'm going to have to fight through," Bell said. "Everything happens for a reason. I don't question the reason why I got hurt or the reason why I have to go through this. I'm going to take it and run with it and, when I get back on the field, I'm going to do what I can."
Immediately after Bell was injured on his fourth and final carry Monday night against Washington, the Steelers were fearful he might be out for an extended period — if only because mid-foot injuries often require surgery and a lengthy rehabilitation.
"I can walk on it and put pressure on my foot now. When I first hurt it and I came to the sideline and took my shoe off, I couldn't put any pressure on it," Bell said. "Now I can walk on it, move it, move all my toes, and the swelling went down."
What the Steelers most wanted to hear is that Bell won't need surgery.
"That is encouraging news," coach Mike Tomlin said. "It's great to hear that it is what it is, a mid-foot sprain and that it's perking up day by day. … The next time I get with the doctors, coming out of this next football game (Saturday against Kansas City), I'll get more information regarding where he is."
Bell, the second running back taken in the NFL Draft in April, is aware he can't rush back; doing so might cause long-term damage.
For now, he is being listed as week to week, although it appears unlikely — such an injury puts considerable stress on the foot — he could be ready for the Sept. 8 opener against Tennessee.
"I know it's a long season, and I want to come back to where I can actually be able to play and not have to think about my foot," Bell said. "I want to make sure everything is comfortable so I can go out there and actually play like I want to play and not have to think about my foot. I don't want to go out there and play injured and have the injury come back or get worse."
Despite the multiple injuries, Tomlin said there is no worry that Bell — who carried 382 times at Michigan State last season — will be injury-prone as a pro.
"If you play football, you get hurt," he said. "It's part of it."
"It gets frustrating at times," Bell said. "But I'm fighting through it and getting healthy as quickly as possible."

Earlier this week, on September 27, was the opening of my exhibition Art Without Artists at the Gregg Museum of Art & Design at North Carolina State University in Raleigh. Almost a year of curatorial planning went into this wide-ranging exhibit, which includes 19th-century firefighting respirator masks, handmade game boards, signage, scientific devices, anonymous snapshots, quilts, and natural objects such as minerals and rocks. The exhibit's focus includes objects never originally intended to be art — objects that today hold mystery and extraordinary design. Roger Manley, Director of the Gregg Museum is co-curator. The exhibition will be up through December 16, 2012.
Comments [2]
A great collection of objects, I really like the Mexican ceremonial mask. Marcel Duchamp used the bottle drying rack as one of his
ready-made art pieces. The letter blotter and crazy quilt also deserve a mention. Thanks

Biotics Research Launches Gluten-Free Awareness Campaign
Press Release
Written by Debra Fish
Friday, 21 February 2014 13:44
Rosenberg, TX – February 20th, 2014 – Biotics Research Corporation, the industry leader in the development of superior, gluten-free nutritional supplements, has launched a full campaign to bring awareness to both healthcare providers and patients on the importance of gluten-free nutritional supplements.
"With such a large percentage of the population sensitive to gluten on some level, it's imperative that patients take supplements that are free of gluten," explained Denis DeLuca, President of Biotics Research. "We understand the challenges those with a gluten sensitivity face when trying to maintain a gluten-free diet, which is why we've taken great care to ensure that all of our products are gluten-free."
Research shows that as many as 10 percent of the U.S. population has some level of gluten sensitivity. Gluten is problematic for those with gluten sensitivity because it inhibits the body's ability to absorb nutrients and defend against would-be pathogens. The detrimental impact of gluten on the body for those with gluten sensitivity results in a variety of symptoms, including bloating, abdominal discomfort, pain, diarrhea, headaches and migraines, lethargy, attention-deficit disorder, muscular disturbances, bone and joint pain, among others. Given that gluten is ubiquitous in the standard American diet, eliminating it can be a challenge.
People with gluten sensitivity often fail to consider whether their supplements contain gluten. Biotics Research has taken the guesswork for both providers and patients from having to choose the right supplements as its entire catalog of almost 300 products are gluten free – and they always have been!
Biotics Research is creating print and online marketing and educational materials in its efforts to bring awareness to both practitioners and patients.
"More and more people are learning that many of the symptoms they've been having for years are a result of some level of gluten sensitivity," added Denis. "And we understand that eliminating gluten from a diet can be a difficult challenge. Our gluten-free supplements are the perfect solution because those with gluten sensitivity no longer have to worry about whether the supplements they're taking to try to improve and support their health could in fact be hindering it."
To learn more about Biotics Research Corporation and its gluten-free catalog of supplements, please visit

Stress management and cortisol regulation support formula now available throughout North America
PITTSBURGH, Pa., February 11, 2014
Douglas Laboratories®
, the trusted choice of healthcare professionals for superior quality, science-based nutritional supplements for more than 50 years, is proud to announce the addition of
Sereniten Plus™
, to its existing line of products available in the United States. Developed by
Penny Kendall-Reed, N.D.,
a specialist in metabolic disorders who is also a member of the Douglas Laboratories® Clinical Advisory Board, Sereniten Plus™ rapidly became a popular stress management support choice for Canadian healthcare practitioners.
"Douglas Laboratories Canada has had great success partnering with Dr. Kendall-Reed to educate and promote Sereniten Plus in 2012 and 2013. This product, now available throughout North America, is the most successful new product launch to date," said Andrew Halpner Ph.D., Vice President, Product Development and Technical Services at Douglas Laboratories.
"Sereniten Plus was developed to promote an anxiolytic effect - supporting mental and physical stress,"† said Dr. Kendall-Reed. "Lactium® is the only supplemental ingredient I have found to lower glucocorticoid secretion and rebalance the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal pathway."†
The Sereniten Plus™ formula consists of a combination of Lactium®, L-Theanine and Vitamin D to support the HPA axis and feedback loop for stress management and cortisol regulation. Lactium®, a bioactive decapeptide, and L-Theanine have been shown to provide a calming effect without drowsiness and support normal sleep that is affected by stress.† It is also unique in how it increases the sensitivity of the hypothalamus to cortisol, thereby re-establishing the receptor sensitivity and feedback within the HPA axis.
Results from studies have shown that 30 days of supplementation with Lactium® can result in lowered plasma cortisol levels and a reduction in stress related issues promoting digestion, cardiovascular, intellectual, emotional, and social wellbeing. †
Douglas Laboratories will host an educational webinar for healthcare professionals, presented by Penny Kendall-Reed, N.D., on February 12, 2014,and titled "Why Diets Fail - A Neuroendocrine Approach to Weight Loss." To register for the webinar, or for further information on the
