The Toll of Human Suffering During the Great Depression
The great depression was a worldwide business slump in the 1930's. It ranked as the worst and longest period of high unemployment, and low business activity in modern times. The great depression actually began in 1929 when stock values dropped rapidly in the United States.
Thousands of stock holders lost large sums of money,some of them were even wiped out completely.Stores,factories,and even banks closed leaving millions of Americans jobless,and penniless.Many people had to depend on the government,or different charities for food.The Great Depression affected almost every nation.There were many causes that contributed to making The Great Depression so severe.
Many bank failures,together with low incomes among farmers,and factory workers helped to set the stage.Uneven distribution of income among workers also contributed to the slump.Most economists agreed that the stock market crash of 1929 is what started it all.Stock values fell for the next three years.Business failures increased rapidly,as unemployment continued to soar.Millions lost their jobs,savings,and homes.What they did manage to purchase was on credit with no way to pay it back.But the banks were unable to lend any more,and hundreds continued to fail.
Human suffering became a reality for millions of Americans as the depression continued.Many died of disease resulting from malnutrition.Thousands lost their home because they could not pay the mortgage. In 1932,at least 25,000 families,and more than 200,000 young people wandered through the country seeking food,clothing,shelter,and a job.
Many of the young people traveled in freight trains,and lived near train yards called hobo jungles.The homeless,jobless travelers obtained food from welfare agencies,or religious missions in town along the way.Most of their meals consisted of soup,beans,or stew and had very little nourishment.The travelers begged for food,or stole it if they could not get something to eat.They even ate scraps of food from garbage cans.
The ragged travelers found clothing even harder to obtain than food.Missions gave most of the clothing they had to the needy local people.Many of the travelers became very ill because they did not have food,or proper clothing.Even the sick wanders had trouble getting help because the hospitals aided local residents first.
Many people who lost their homes remained in the community.Some crowded into the home of a relative,others moved to a shabby section of town and built shacks from tin cans and old crates.Entire families would live in old rusted out car bodies,or what ever they could find.
The Great Depression ended after nations increased their production of war materials at the start of the war.This increased production provided jobs,and put large sums o money back into circulation.The depression had lasting effects on the United States government,and on many Americans.

Butch Harmon About Golf
- Filed Under
In celebration of the first anniversary of the release of his "Butch Harmon About Golf presented by Titleist" DVD -- and as a special tribute to all fathers -- Harmon is pleased to announce his Father's Day/U.S. Open sale.
Through the conclusion of the U.S. Open, golfers can buy one DVD and get a second for only $20. The idea is the extra DVD can be an ideal Father's Day gift.
Harmon is one of the game's best-known instructors, having worked with players like Greg Norman, Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and reigning Masters champion Adam Scott.
To this day, Scott's swing is considered to be among the PGA Tour's most picture perfect and flawless. Scott is featured with Harmon on the golf course in the DVD.
"It doesn't matter if you're Tiger or a high-handicapper, Butch can help you to improve your game," says Scott. "He has the best eye in the game for identifying any faults in your swing and the cures that will fix them. Plus, he has the rare ability to communicate well on how to help you."
Golfers wanting to take advantage of this special should visit the Butch Harmon website: http://www.butchharmondvd.com.

Minor league report – a look at how 10 of the Texas Rangers' best prospects fared this week
Photo: James Snook/Spokane Indians
Jorge Alfaro, C, low-A Hickory: Alfaro's homerless streak hit 16 games this week, but 19-year-old still would have settled for another single or two this week. He went just 4-for-22 this week with one double and one RBI. His season stats remain respectable though, with a .247 batting average, nine home runs and 28 RBIs.

Long ago, the Dark Lord Dredmor was bound in the darkest dungeons beneath the earth by great and mighty heroes. Centuries later, the magical bonds that hold him in place are loosening and his power grows ever stronger. The land cries out for a new hero, a powerful warrior or a mystic wizard like those spoken of in the prophecies of yore. What they have, unfortunately, is you. Step into the Dungeons of Dredmor! Embrace your destiny! Face evil of the likes the world has never known - the terrifying Swarmies, the undulating Thrusties, and the adoreable nest-building Diggles. Wield shoes decorated by the Dwarven Glittersmiths, all of whom have now committed suicide because of their shame, and embrace the joys of destroying giant moustache-wielding brick demons with a mace decorated with tawdry, delicious bacon. While you're at it, be prepared to die. A lot. In hideous, screaming pain that makes you throw your keyboard out the window. The Dungeons await. Are you ready for them?

The Game is cool and has so many diffrent ways to play. And its 5 bucks

Roguelike rpg ? Can this be enjoyable in 21st century ? It can and surely is. Example - Dungeons of Dredmor! Apart of real graphics instead of ASCII, this game is typical rouglike rpg with random generated levels. There's plenty of good humour too. Unfortunatly, graphics could be a little bit better. I know, it's indie production but... Well, we should be grateful there's graphics at all, developers seem to say. Game lacks story, but that's not a flaw - you dont need a story in a game like this. It's just about fun, exploring, leveling up and killing your enemies. Of course, there is the last, final boss in the last 10th level of dungeon (Mr.Dredmor, indeed)... and a couple of minor bad guys on the way. You would not be bored;) Another interesting thing - Dungeons of Dredmor features permadeath - long forgotten, now revoked! Of course you can choose to switch it off, if you value your sanity. Try losing your character after couple hours of gameplay... ;) But if you want to play as if it's still 1980, go ahead!:) Some gamers reported bugs and crashes with DoD. I guess it's all patched, because im playing without any problems. In conclusion - nice little game, but marked for a small group of players. If you like classical rpg's, dungeoneering style games, you'll like Dungeons of Dredmor. For rest of you guys, this game gets boring and repetitive after half an hour

An awesome rougelike: funny, hard and immersive.

The game is simply awesome. Having played a lot of rogulikes in the past ten years I must say that dungeons of dredmor is the easiest to pick up, play and die often. It offers a lot of replay value and one of many reasons is the big number of totally different skills that can be combined in creative ways.

Funny late-night talk-show host and comedian, Chelsea Handler, often finds herself flirting with superstar guests who make appearances on her hit E! Show, "Chelsea Lately." She is known to have the biggest fascination with rap artists that dare step foot on her stage.
Chelsea rapper 50 Cent have been linked together in the past, and earlier this week Chelsea revealed to Howard Stern why she and the "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" rapper are no longer on speaking terms.
Although Chelsea admits that she and 50 Cent dated for a couple of months, the relationship ended over a silly phone call that focused on his R&B ex-girlfriend, Ciara.
"So you're telling me that this girl wants to get back together with you, but she's upset that you're dating me?" Chelsea said to Howard, recounting her conversation with 50.
Coincidentally, the G-Unit founder decided to give Chelsea this information right before Ciara was set to make an appearance on her show. He wanted to make a 3-way call to prove to Chelsea how things were. Chelsea fired back stating, "Curtis (she called him by his first name), honestly, this is eighth grade…" At the end of the phone call, Chelsea said some words to 50 Cent that were very offensive and then she hung up on him.
That was the end of their romance.
Although things didn't end smoothly, Chelsea told Howard that 50 is a very nice guy who treated her well. He would call the office often and would even send a ridiculous amount of flowers to the her.
According to Chelsea, there romance was a classic case of "opposites attract." She was intrigued that he was completely different from her. Contrary to his thuggish rap persona, he didn't smoke nor drink, and she thought that was "borderline amazing."
Although the star of the new NBC sitcom, "Are you there Chelsea?" explained that her family and friends absolutely adored the hip-hop entrepreneur, she knew it wouldn't last.
Watch Chelsea's interview with Howard Stern here.

Microsoft to restore the Start Button in Windows 8.1

Re: Microsoft to restore the Start Button in Windows 8.1
I'm generally an Apple User, but I will say: I like Windows 7. I hate Windows 8.
Live tiles are stupid. Nobody likes them. They seem cool for a few seconds when you watch the commercial but they're not. They're stupid and confusing and as useless as snapping a keyboard onto your Surface while dancing on a table, and they obfuscate the useful elements of Windows. Figuring out how to make a Surface do what I want is the science of randomly touching things and swiping in random directions until something useful happens. Then they have this classic desktop looking thing as a completely separate interface from 'Live tiles' that feels like working in a VM.
With Windows 8 and XBox One Microsoft's attitude is 'You'll buy this and you'll like it screw usability, have a complaint RELEASE THE HOUNDS'. Microsoft's new policy of 'Open contempt for our consumer base' isn't going to get them anywhere and having a start menu isn't going to fix the complete uselessness of the interface they're pretending everybody likes.

Re: Is there a Where are they Now thread for the series?
The flowchart in my signature will give you the big picture, all of the related post-finale books of all the different series, but without plot details.
If you'd like to catch up more specifically, probably you want to read:
- Star Trek: Destiny - a big crossover trilogy about the Borg, good starting point.
- Then, for VOY's crew: the four most recent Voyager relaunch novels, starting with Full Circle (see my signature)
- Then, for DS9's crew: the following novels from the Typhon Pact series - Rough Beasts of Empire, Zero Sum Game, Plagues of Night, Raise the Dawn
- Then for the most recent on TNG's crew: the Cold Equations trilogy.
There will be some gaps in there, but that's probably bare minimum to catch you up. (And all those books are goddamn kickass too, lemme tell ya.)
Unless you just want a whole bunch of spoilers, in which case say so and I'll give you a summary behind a spoiler warning.

Okay, so I decided to play along with the Kim Kardashian Ass Internet Explosion meme. Ughhhh. Medium: digital paint directly over intenet photo and completed in less than an hour.

When I came across the headline, "Kim Kardashian furious at South Park for referring to her as a Hobbit", the image you see above is what flashed in my mind. Wearing her most alluring outfit, the Kim Kardashian Hobbit wandered to the edge of The Shire and shamelessly flaunted her greatest asset in hopes of attracting attention. Drawn to the fiery glow cast upon her bare buttocks from the burning chasm dividing them, Gollum perched ravenously atop a Misty Mountain cliff, drooling, wild-eyed, insatiable. As each hair on the Hobbit's sizable derrier shimmered and shone like a golden beacon in the glow of the raging fire, Gollum became mesmerized and started croaking, "my preciousssssss, my preciousssssssss". (Medium: digital painting, early sketches and more details posted on my FB page)
ANNOUNCEMENT: This will be my last celebrity-inspired illustration for the year. I started Gallery of the Absurd in 2005 to showcase what I intended to be illustrations of contemporary folk tales inspired by the stories WE created and exchanged about tabloid celebrities rather than the celebrities themselves. I've had a great time illustrating the silly characters and outrageous narratives celebrity gossip tends to churn out, but it's time to move on and focus on fresh projects and inspirations for a while. I'll continue to post illustrations inspired by absurdity here on Gallery of the Absurd, just not celebrities. Of course, if someone wants to offer me a paying job creating celebrity gossip illustrations, then I'd certainly be interested! I'm also planning to work on a book proposal. I came so close to signing a book deal with Harper Collins/Regan Books back in 2007, but it fell through at the last minute due to a scandal. I'll keep trying though. Thanks for reading my blog. XO14

A delightful storybook romance staring Kim Kardashian as Booty, Kanye West as The Ego Beast, Bruce Jenner as Taut Teacup, Kris Jenner as Leaky Teapot, Khloe Kardashian as The Khlock, and tragic Kris Humphries as Old Flame:
"When Booty's magical 72-day marriage tragically dissolves, her mother warns that she must find a famous suitor to keep her name in the tabloids, lest she fade from public memory like her old friend Paris Hilton.
"Think of the family," her mother implores. "Mama's Bentley is not going to pay for itself."
Despite her uncertainty about the exact meaning of "suitor," Booty bravely scrolls through the contacts on her phone to see if there is somebody…anybody…in the Greater Los Angeles and New York areas she has not yet dated – all in the name of keeping the Kardashian Kollection alive at Sears for another day.
Suddenly, Booty stops on a name and gasps.
"No. Not him. I couldn't…"
But it is too late. When Booty's mother sees The Beast's unsmiling face appear on the screen, she insists on making the union happen.
"To Nobu, it is! I will alert TMZ."
At first Booty is apprehensive about a boyfriend who doesn't play a professional sport, and whose "greatest pain in life" is that he "will never be able to see himself perform live," but soon the paparazzi's tremendous interest in them puts her at ease.
One of the most ego-filled romances of all time, Booty and the Beast appeals to a horrifically large number of people who have made Ryan Seacrest an even richer man."
A preview of some of the pages included in the Booty and The Beast fairy tale:
His face stretched beyond recognition, Bruce Jenner is Taut Teacup.
Kris Jenner will do anything for money. If she's not allegedly selling Booty's sex tape to porn sites, she's yammering on and on about her incontinence problem, plus other TMI subjects we don't want to hear about.
Khloe Kardashian is The Clock that ticks louder and louder with each passing day.
Once a dim flame who lit Booty's fire in make-believe land, Kris Humphries' blaze was quickly stomped out by a whiny herd of stilleto-wearing Kardashians. Medium: ink and digital color. Character design and illustration by 14, concept, rhymes and story written by Candy Kirby of The Laughing Stork.

It's simply mind boggling how this entire Kardashian Konglomerate all started with a butt. One day The Butt decided to film itself having sex and "leak" the tape onto the internet. Once unknown and lacking any discernible talent, The Butt rose to meteoric international fame after the video was released and soon The Butt began appearing in the pages of all the trashy tabloids. The Butt's money-hungry mother soon saw dollar signs dangling before her eyes and arranged for The Butt to endorse countless lucrative commercial offers. Not content with fame-whoring her favorite kash kow, she paraded out her other daughters and began pimping them too. After that, there were even more daughters! All dutifully played mommy's game of fame whoring, but The Butt remained the family's treasured golden egg. One day while the mom of The Butt was changing her adult diaper, a brilliant idea occurred to her: stage a fake wedding for The Butt and make mega millions off all the endorsements. Who cares if The Butt doesn't yet have a fiance, any big galoot will do. However the real brilliance behind mommy's idea is that this wedding hoax will end in divorce at just about the time her book is released. BRILLIANT! Now mommy is spinning The Butt as some sort of Liz Taylor because The Butt is a multiple divorcee and has lots of jewels. Ugh.

Even if you try, you cannot escape the unrelenting bombardment of the Kardashian beast across all media. You attempt to ignore them, but they'll eventually seep into any open crack available and find their way into your awareness. This ubiquitous and alluring beast can pop up anywhere from ill-fated credit cards, diet pill scams, perfume, clothing and even kitchen appliances. I made that last one up, but you just wait - it'll happen. In the same spirit as natural history artists sketching the mythical beasts of exotic new lands as described by early explorers, I attempt to illustrate it.
At first, there was just one. Its name is Kim and it became famous due to its abundant hindquarters and also for a starring role in a "leaked" sex tape. Soon it went on TV talk shows and appeared in magazines to discuss its shame over the sex tape, but it realized its sexy image could be turned into a Kash Kow(TM) so it posed nude for calendars and magazines and then later cried in shame over them. Predictably, it was offered multiple mind numbing reality shows and two other sisters, Kourtney and Khloe were unveiled.
Photos posted across the internet showed the beast had somehow melded together into a Kardashian Khimera Konglomerate. The one with the butt usually stands to the left, the giant insecure one, often referred to as "Sasquatch" and in constant battle with the tabloid press over claims of pregnancy, towers in the middle, and the tiny one with a kid stands to the right. This terrifying Kardashian Khimera continues to expand exponentially. Two more K sisters have recently been paraded into the spotlight and they too have a unquenchable thirst for fame. Many rumors abound over its ability to simply lay eggs, each one engraved with a K, so to continue its quest for world domination. Oh yeah, I almost forget...
There is the occasional appearance of a male figure on the reality show and though he makes weak attempts to keep his underaged daughters from writhing around stripper poles and working as bartenders, he's often ignored as though he's a bump on a log. His name is Bruce Jenner and he wears his hair styled so it appears to be blowing in the wind as though he's still racing around the track even though he's standing still. He's had multiple cosmetic surgery procedures which have given him a taut, yet melty appearance. It's very puzzling. Medium: graphite on paper, digital color. Original sketches may be viewed here. Original Kardashian Khimera available for purchase. Act fast if you want to buy it. Just kidding, there's no rush.

text: The OM's are well known for having minimal shutter/mirror vibration. I also take exception to the popular mischaracterisation that RF's have a smoother operation than SLR's. The long, stiff shutter button travel needed to lock and set the exposure makes them far more difficult to hand hold than the OM's.

Attached old stone house situated in the centre of a lovely mountain village 25 minutes north of Carcassonne in the southern French region of Languedoc Rousillon. The village is called Caudebronde and can be seen via Google maps. The house has the orange door in the photo, on the corner of the little alleyway. The picture of the church and river is about 50 yards from the house. The house is estimated to be 2/300 year old and is partly renovated. Entrance into a 22 square metre room divided into hall, kitchen and bathroom. A stone and wooden staircase leads up to the 1st floor and another 22 square metre room with lovely open fireplace and feature old stone sink with shelves above. Wooden stairs lead up to the 2nd floor and another 22 square metre room with vaulted ceiling and exposed old chestnut beams.
The house has a new fully insulated roof, with any rotten beams repaired or replaced and galvanised guttering and down pipes fitted. ( the outside photo of the house was taken before these were installed) There is a new bathroom and toilet and a new concrete floor on the ground floor, with a damp proof membrane and new terracotta floor tiles. There is a kitchen area but just white tiled walls and plumbing, no kitchen as such. There is a new shower but the area around it needs finishing, and there is a new hot water tank with plumbing for a washing machine.
There is a new EDF electricity meter but the house needs wiring. Electrical appliances can be plugged into an extension socket attached to the meter, this includes the hot water tank, so washing and showering with hot water is available. The kitchen area has plumbing for appliances. The windows are serviceable but in poor condition overall.
The house has been used for holidays, it has been lived in for 2 weeks at a time but does require upgrading to make it comfortable to live in full time. The house has no structural problems, it just needs finishing off.
The village is small and friendly, but with no bar or shop, although a bread van visits daily. There is a chateau converted to a small hotel/B&B, run by a Belgian couple. There is a mix of full time residents and holiday homes, with an English couple ( a plumber and translator/teacher) full time resident, plus other English speakers. There is an Australian plumber in the village too, plus a French builder ( who replaced the roof) and an English builder in the next village. The French residents have always been very helpful and friendly, one of them mows the grass regularly in the garden, for no payment. There is a very lively Fete at the beginning of August, with a village barbecue ( 600 attend!), music and dancing late into the night. Normally though it is incredibly quiet and peaceful, and although there is a main road close by the village itself is at the end of a valley with narrow roads and little through traffic. Birdsong and the sound of the river are usually the loudest noises.
There is a bar and two restaurants, plus a general store, butcher and boulangerie at Cuxac Cabardes, the nearest village, approximately 5 minutes by car. There are also weekly visits at Cuxac of a pizza van and a fish and chip van ( yes, really, and they're very good!) There are two swimming lakes nearby, with sandy beaches and a cafe.
A very pretty separate garden of 100 square metres is 2 minutes walk away. It is fenced and contains 3 or 4 fruit trees and a big growth of mistletoe on one of them ( considered lucky!) It is close to the river, and nearby, at the rivers edge, there is a small municipal campsite open in the summer. The walk to the garden is lovely in the summer, with the smell of wild garlic and herbs, and beautiful warm sunshine. The garden is great for a barbecue or just lazing on the grass.
The village is on the south edge of the Montagne Noir, looking out across the plains of the Minervois and in the distance the snow capped Pyrenees can often be seen. The area is mainly chestnut forest with rocky outcrops and fast flowing rivers, with ancient castles, caves and a rich Cathar history. It can be snowy in winter but with long hot summers. The village is approximately 500 metres above sea level.
Carcassonne is the nearest airport, about 25 minutes drive. The flight from Stansted takes about an hour and three quarters with Ryanair, prices can be very low if booked ahead and flying mid week, depending on the time of year. £25 flights are not uncommon. There are flights to other UK cities too. We pick up a hire car at the airport, although driving from the UK is also an option, Suffolk to Carcassonne is about 13 hours driving time. Carcassonne itself is a spectacular city, the medieveal City being a UNESCO World Heritage site with visitors from around the world. The Mediterranean coast, with wide sandy beaches, is about 45 minutes drive away and Barcelona is approximately 3 hours drive. The area of the Montagne Noir is geared up to what the French call 'Vacances vert', green holidays, so lots of walking on designated trails, horse riding, cycling, kayaking etc. The hills are covered in chestnut forest and in the autumn foraging is very popular, looking for chestnuts and mushrooms. There are historic sites locally, many spectacular castles including the Cathar castle of Lastours in the next valley and waterfalls and caves , two of the largest caves in the area are nearby, both open to the public. If the house was finished off it would have lots of potential as a holiday let as well as a family home.
The house is for sale via a French estate agents ( listed at €24,995, I have done a currency conversion at todays rate to get a sterling price) and interested parties will be put in touch with them. They can arrange viewings and speak English. We use an English speaking notaire in Carcassonne and any prospective buyer will be given her details too. It is common in France for a seller and a buyer to use the same notaire ( the UK equivalent of a solicitor) , ours is very helpful but you are welcome to make your own arrangements. We have spent 10 years owning and enjoying the house and the surrounding area, and have spent lots of money improving it. We now have a project here in the UK which is taking our attention and we have decided to sell the house at a realistic price which doesn't take into account the money we have spent on it so far.
This is a bargain price, a good sound stone house with an expensive new roof, with a garden, in the South of France for about the cost of a mid range car.
Someone has asked me about the costs to finish the house, here is my reply. These relate to costs we were quoted by local builders and craftsmen, who are very regulated in France and tend to be fairly expensive. If you can DIY it would be a lot cheaper. There are a selection of large builders merchants in Carcassonne. Please note the prices for work I have quoted here are in Euros, whilst the final reference to 10k is in sterling.
We had a price of € 4000 to rewire the house in 2008 from a local electrician who came recommended. This is the main job that needs doing. The village builder quoted us €2282 to replace the windows with hardwood double glazing in 2009, cheaper if we wanted UPVC. There is no heating and it can be very cold there in the winter so it really needs a good wood burner. We were quoted about €2500 / 3000 ish for an 10kw (quite a large one) Franco Belge (top quality) fitted with the chimney lined about 2008 ( the chimney is in good condition and was renovated with the roof) The English plumber in the village now imports Devon made wood burners and fits them, these may be cheaper. Wood pellet boilers are also available . There is wood everywhere from the chestnut forest, most houses have big woodpiles for the winter. Those are the main jobs but lots of smaller stuff, new floor in top room where the boards are solid but very worn. There is no kitchen, just a space for one. The stairs are a bit rough etc etc. The shower area is unresolved and needs finishing. Depends how finished you want to house really. Wiring, windows and a fire would make a big difference. We always say about £10k would make a lot of difference. Obviously if you are good at DIY, then a lot less.
Someone has asked about taxes and costs, again the answer ( prices in Euros)
Taxes last year were Habitation tax, €218, taxes Fonciere €328, these include water rates and sewage etc ( the house is on mains water and drains)
