Austin earns first victory as FHS head coach

No doubt, Skip Austin's first victory as the head coach of the Forest football team was a memorable one.
What was most memorable in the 40-26 victory against visiting West Port might be debatable.
Was it the combined lightning and power outage that forced the game to start 93 minutes late? Was it a wild third quarter that saw the two teams combine for 44 points? Maybe it was senior Quandre King's 215 yards on 19 carries. Or perhaps it was the Wildcats' scoring a defensive touchdown and also converting on a fake punt in the same quarter.
FHS (1-1) took a 21-0 into the half on touchdown runs by King and Kenny Tucker (20 carries, 72 yards), and a 42-yard fumble return for a score by senior linebacker Deonte Mayo.
Undeterred, West Port took 1:35 to score two touchdowns in the third quarter.
The first came on an improbable 65-yard run that saw Quandre Woods break four tackles en route to the end zone. Two snaps after recovering the onside kick quarterback Jerall Townsend Jr. found Nick Hatcher streaking down the middle of the field for a 33-yard touchdown. The extra point failed, and Forest led 21-13.
Less than a minute and a half later Tucker capped a four play, 59 yard drive with a five-yard touchdown run. And 50 seconds after that Townsend hit Rickey McDuffie for a 44-yard touchdown, giving the two teams a combined 26 points in the first 3:44 of the second half.
The Wildcats answered with a two-yard touchdown run from Tucker five minutes later, and quarterback Jaylon Gadson scored from a yard out with 2:57 left in the third quarter.
The Wolf Pack (0-2) responded with a six play, 63 yard drive that concluded with a seven-yard touchdown run by Maliek Stephens.
FHS threatened to score again twice more in the fourth quarter, but were stopped on a lost fumble and on downs, respectively. WPHS had the ball on the Wildcats' 35 when time expired.

Brief Synopsis
Insurgencies in the 21st century are different than the Cold War era ones that generated existing doctrine and strategy, and which shaped the way that most American strategists think about insurgency. The beast has mutated and evolved. So, too, must those who confront it. To help Army and Department of Defense leaders master these new challenges, the Strategic Studies Institute publishes a special series entitled "Insurgency and Counterinsurgency in the 21st Century." This monograph, which assesses the growing insurgency in Nepal with its potential to further destabilize an already volatile region, is a path-breaking and an excellent inaugural effort in this new series.

Explaining Résumé Gaps to Employers
Jenson Crawford quit his steady job as lead programmer for Southern California Edison to pursue a dream of becoming a sound engineer. But he later realized that late-night concert schedules weren't compatible with starting a family. So he decided to go back to his old career.
The problem: He had a six-year hole in his résumé.
"The companies I interviewed with did not know anything about the [sound engineering] work I did. So I had to bridge the gap for them," says Mr. Crawford, who translated his experience during those six years into something that software companies could use.
He talked up his project-management experience, which involved hiring and working with a crew of 50. He also took classes to brush up on his programming skills. The effort paid off. He got a job at Fetch Technology, a software-intelligence company in El Segundo, Calif.
Whether due to career changes, layoffs or taking time off to raise kids or travel, résumé gaps can signal to employers that you lack commitment, focus or are trying to hide a bad work experience. That's why it's important to have your story ready and, if possible, turn your experiences during that gap into a plus for a prospective employer.
Any unexplained discontinuity in work history can slow or kill the hiring process, says Ann Spoor, founder of Executive Lattice, a Denver-based executive talent agency.
When talking about personal reasons, remain professional, stay on topic and be brief, unless you can connect your time away to something that has a direct benefit to the company. Taking a year off to care for a sick parent, for example, may have given you applicable insight into the senior-care marketplace, hospitals or the insurance industry.
If you did consulting or volunteer work, took classes or even worked an entry-level job to pay the bills, talk those up. Working at the local coffee bar, for instance, may have given you insight into customer needs.
If you were fired or quit on bad terms, highlight what you learned from the experience. Accepting responsibility shows character and a willingness to learn from mistakes. Don't place blame, lie or falsely alter dates of employment. If the truth surfaces down the line, it can result in your termination.
When it comes to your résumé, you can leave out the actual months of a gap if it was short -- say, a few months. Then, address the time lapses during an interview. If the company has an online application process that requires filling in exact dates, explain your reasons for having any gaps in your cover letter.
With gaps that span years, consider creating a skills-based résumé, instead of a chronological one. It puts bullet points on top that highlight skills and experience and de-emphasize dates. The downside is that a skills-based résumé doesn't highlight your career growth on the first page and some recruiters don't care for the format.

UN: 80 Nations Have Responded to Copenhagen Pact
NEW DELHI -- Although 80 nations have responded to the Copenhagen Accord in some way or the other, more need to outline their climate change commitments, Yvo de Boer, executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, said Thursday.
At the climate change conference in Copenhagen held in December, 2009, some countries had agreed to a light political accord that asked countries to submit their carbon reduction pledges by Jan. 31.
As of last week, fifty five countries had submitted their pledges.
Mr. Boer said the Copenhagen Accord, though not unanimously adopted, was a tool to a formal pact on climate change and an important political agreement.
"It is important not to overplay the Copenhagen accord. I think people need to keep it as a reference in the back pocket," he said also.
Mr. Boer added that a different track was not being opened up for climate change talks and there was no need to open up a new track for discussions.

Skip to comments.Protestant Group Predicts the Rise of "New Charlemagne" in Germany
Posted on 09/07/2009 4:14:54 PM PDT by NYer
Is Germany's Charlemagne About to Appear?
As I write this article, Germany is just weeks from electing a new chancellor. That election and events to unfold from it are going to bring devastating consequences to this world. A dangerous political structure has been built in the European Union, and it's about to get a lot worse. History thunders its strongest warning ever! It's time that people understood that history.
But there is a lot more than history involved in understanding European politics.
What is happening in the European superstate is a mystery to most of the world. But that mystery is beginning to be removed.
Bernard Connolly wrote a bombshell book in 1995 titled The Rotten Heart of Europe. For years he served at the heart of the Exchange Rate Mechanism for the European Union. He headed the commission unit responsible for monitoring and servicing the system. He labels the European superstate as rotten. Since he had a vital job on the inside, his comments deserve our attention.
The Spirit of Charlemagne
"It is the battle for control of the European superstate," Mr. Connolly wrote, "in which French technocrats confront German federalists, both sides claiming to fight under thebanner of Charlemagne. The 'collateral damage' from this battle lies mainly in the future, but it could be ghastly" (emphasis mine throughout).
"It could be ghastly." That is an understatement!
Who will get control of this great superstate? And just how ghastly is it going to be? The battle can be narrowed down to two nations—France and Germany. Do knowledgeable people really doubt who has already won this battle? The nation that controls the money will reign supreme. Of course, that has already proven to be Germany.
"Across the Rhine, successive German governments have, in their pursuit of a 'European' cloak for German ambitions, been prepared to accept an apparent cession of national monetary authority—as long as the new European monetary authority looks, sounds, smells and acts exactly as the German monetary authority now does" (ibid.).
The EU system has already been called a Trojan horse. Mr. Connolly says it is a "cloak for German ambitions."
Just what are those ambitions? And why should every person on Earth be deeply concerned?
Otto von Habsburg was one of the key figures in creating the European Union. He had this to say about that union: "The [European] Community is living largely by the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire, though the great majority of the people who live by it don't know by what heritage they live."
Twenty-seven countries are members of the EU today. Most of them don't know that they are "living largely by the heritage of the Holy Roman Empire." It is a mystery to them.
According to Bible prophecy, the number of member nations or groups of nations will be reduced to 10 rulers. There are simply too many nations in the EU now for the Union to be ruled in the spirit of Charlemagne. Only after it has been severely reduced in member countries can the Holy Roman Empire function as it has in its extremely bloody past.
Mr. Habsburg also said, "We possess a European symbol which belongs to all nations of Europe equally; this is the crown of the Holy Roman Empire, which embodies the tradition of Charlemagne."
Just what is "the tradition of Charlemagne"? It is far from what most people think it is—even Europeans!
Charles the Great
The Franks were the first barbaric tribe to embrace Catholicism, but it was for political gain, not religious reasons. Mostly of Germanic origin, the Franks used the Catholic Church to support their expansionist policies, while the church relied on Frankish rulers for protection. It was a union based on politics alone.
The Frankish kingdom reached the pinnacle of its power during the rule of Charlemagne (Charles the Great). Before Charlemagne's emergence as world ruler, the political scene in Europe was greatly divided. Germany was sliced into many different tribes. Much of Italy was occupied by the Lombards. Byzantium was recognized as the successor to the eastern region of the old Roman Empire. Charlemagne, in conjunction with the papal throne, eventually changed all that—but not without much bloodshed.
Historians call his rule the First Reich—even though Charlemagne was the second ruler of the Holy Roman Empire. Adolf Hitler's rule became known as the Third Reich.
Charlemagne felt it his duty to defend the church. In 774, at the request of Pope Leo iii, he entered northern Italy and conquered the Lombard kingdom, uniting Italy for the first time in centuries. In 799, he again came to the aid of the pope, who was assaulted, brutally beaten, and thrown into prison by a band of conspirators. With the military backing of Charles and his Frankish troops, the pope was exonerated of all wrongdoing and reinstated to his ecclesiastic office.
The following year, in Rome, while Charlemagne was kneeling in prayer during a Christmas celebration inside old St. Peter's Church, the pope placed a crown upon his head, pronouncing him "the 73rd emperor of the fourth world empire."
At this point, we should note that throughout the Middle Ages, many scholars, theologians, even popes, knew the Roman Empire was the fourth world-ruling kingdom.Many of them even identified this fourth kingdom with the one Daniel spoke of in his prophecy (see Daniel 2:37-43). That's why Europeans and Catholics kept trying to revive the empire! The Bible said there would only be four such empires. However, the fourth empire would have 10 resurrections, according to Bible prophecy. The last seven of those resurrections would be called Holy Roman Empires, because they were ruled by church and state.
As king of the Franks, Charlemagne was able to subjugate every single German tribe but one: the Saxons. The Saxons clung to their own faith and refused, even on pain of death, to submit to Roman Catholicism. Charlemagne determined to force his brand of Christianity on them with the sword. For years the Saxons obstinately resisted. At one point, out of sheer frustration, Charlemagne executed 4,500 Saxon prisoners. This barbarous act angered the Saxons even more.
It took 30 years for Charles to completely extinguish the "Saxon" problem, but not before multiple thousands had been executed for their religious beliefs. After more than 18 conquests against the Saxons, Charles finally prevailed. In the end, Saxons either subjected themselves to the rule of Charles, or their defiance ended in death.
The Holy Roman Empire has never been democratic. It could never be. Even Pope Pius xiisaid the church had twin enemies: the democracies and communism. He was pope at the peak of Communist power.
As emperor of the "Holy" Roman Empire, Charles felt it his duty to spread the Christian faith using whatever means necessary. The New Encyclopedia Britannica says, "The violent methods by which this missionary task was carried out had been unknown to the earlier Middle Ages, and the sanguinary [bloody] punishment meted out to those who broke canon law or continued to engage in pagan practices called forth criticism in Charles' own circle" ("Charlemagne, Emperor").
The violence Charlemagne used to enforce the Catholic religion on his subjects was simply unknown in earlier empires! He forced his brand of Christianity on everyone. His empire may have had distinct ties to the ancient Romans, but it was certainly not "holy"—even if there was a great church guiding it.
And yet, for centuries to come, the aim of succeeding emperors was to restore the traditions of Charlemagne in their quest to revive the Roman Empire!
Even today, Germany and a great church are working to restore the tradition of Charlemagne. They have almost completed the structure. Still, it is a mystery to most of the world's inhabitants.
Let the world beware! That power structure is ready to burst on the world scene—again!
Charlemagne's bloody conquests were the worst ever in the history of the previous empires. The conquests of the next Holy Roman Empire are going to be the worst suffering ever inflicted on human beings in the history of man! (Matthew 24:21-22; Daniel 12:1; Jeremiah 30:1-10).
It will all be done in the spirit of Charlemagne. Most people won't awaken out of their stupor until it's too late! . . .
Of possible interest, ping!
I prefer Karl der Grosse, danke.
A new Charlemagne? A new Holy Roman Empire? Let's hope so!
I didn't realize you were such a fan of Patrick Madrid.
When the Holy Roman Empire was at its peak, there was a running joke among the nobility of the era. They said that its name was a misnomer: it wasn't an empire, it wasn't Roman, and it certainly wasn't holy.
I think they have things backwards. Charlemagne created the Holy Roman Empire, which became an utterly meaningless and impotent bureaucracy as soon as he died, that managed to survive almost to modern times, only finally being officially ended in 1806.
Well, the Europeans have created a replacement for the HRE, which is showing signs of becoming as meaningless and useless as its predecessor, and they did it without Charlemagne.
This is amusing, but I think it's a little ungallant of Mr. Madrid to go picking on Rev. J. Random Dispensationalist from Nobodyever Heardofit Church of God.
The sun rises, the baby needs a new diaper, and some pastor is in a to-do about the European Community. I saw this movie.
I also read the whole article and can't figure out what the pastor thinks the new German Chancellor is going to do that so much worse than "ghastly." What is much, much worse than ghastly, anyway? Ghastly is pretty strong!
Yo! Do I got a dog in this fight? From the 1500s? Cringe. I'll stand up for the J. Random name, but I'm thinking... Nevermind what I'm thinking. It's dangerous, and not European.
Technically, I'm off the reservation. WOO HOO!
Except for the part where we receive grace through faith. Life is tough enough,and then someone adds layers of misunderstanding to the after-life. Can't we all just die and go to heaven?
I'm sure it's just a coincidence of the same first name, not that you're related to Rev. Dispensationalist. Teh Interwebs are full of people with the first name "Tax," too.
Most of my family, factiods being bandied about.
When the German Roman Empire was at its peak (say, 1180s or so), no one told this stupid joke because "Holy Roman Empire" was first used in the 1600s, after the Empire had become an empty shell (it collapsed about 1250 and was replaced on the European stage by the rising consolidated kingdoms of France and England; the title continued but it became the basis for the Habsburg house dynasty, which itself split into two branches, one in the nation-state of Spain (and the Netherlands), the other in Austria, eventually the Austro-Hungarian empire).
Holy Roman Empire is a modern term. The actual medieval empire was Frankish under Charles the Great then shifted to the eastern, German, portion of what had been Charles's realm. It was really established as the German Kingdom/Roman Empire by Otto I ca. 950 and lasted to about 1250. It covered German and northern Italy. At the end it also added southern Italy and Sicily briefly. The elected king of the Germans also held the title of Roman Emperor (since Charlemagne).
So the joke is one of those modern anti-medieval snotnosed jibes at a supposed evil medieval past.
There were no bureaucracies in the Middle Ages. They didn't have the technical ability to be bureaucracies. And Charlemagne's empire was divided after his death among his three grandsons but the eastern third of it was transformed into a real empire by the Ottonian kings in the 900s.
And "Holy" was not used for either Charles's or the German-Italian empire at all.
I got some goofballs in the family, too, but I don't blame them for the soi-disant Holy Roman Empire, or the eventual end of the world. We're just not that interesting.
That's nice. Actually, I've got 2 in the running, and I may be lead.
But family is family. Not the HRE again. Sigh.

"When the Holy Roman Empire was at its peak, there was a running joke among the nobility of the era. They said that its name was a misnomer: it wasnt an empire, it wasnt Roman, and it certainly wasnt holy."
Actually, the saying is from Voltaire. He invented it in 1756 - about 50 years before the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved.
Voltaire wrote: "Ce corps qui s'appelait et qui s'appelle encore le saint empire romain n'était en aucune manière ni saint, ni romain, ni empire."
Translation: "This agglomeration which was called and which still calls itself the Holy Roman Empire was neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire."
you wrote:
"There were no bureaucracies in the Middle Ages. They didnt have the technical ability to be bureaucracies."
There were bureaucracies.
Just read From Ad Hoc to Routine: A Case Study in Medieval Bureaucracy. Contributors: Ellen E. Kittell - author. Publisher: University of Pennsylvania Press. Place of Publication: Philadelphia. Publication Year: 1991.
A more recent book that at least touches on bureaucracies in the Middle Ages is:
Edwin S. Hunt, A History of Business in Medieval Europe 1200-1500, Cambridge University Press, 1999.
Hunt shows that the medieval bureaucracies were small, but they still existed. The same people who invented double-entry accounting seemed destined to have some bureaucracies!
Madrid points people to such insanity, but doesn't debunk it, probably thinking its ridiculousness is obvious to his readers. For lurkers, however:
The Holy Roman Empire wasn't a single empire. Such was a designation given several empires which received the political designation from the papacy as being something the papacy supported politically. Habsburg, mentioned in the article, was pretender to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire, which was also called the Holy Roman Empire. Certainly, Hitler's intent in using the propagandist name, "3rd Reich" was not to align himself with the papacy; Hitler was a neo-pagan who favored the Lutheran Church (out of politics, not his own faith; lacking an external power structure, it was easier to dominate.) Rather, it was to cast Germans as the true Romans (Rome, contrary to the quoted article's implications, was supposed to be the first Reich). The Christian Church, argued Hitler, was a Jewish-led bastardization of the ancient, Germanic faith of Aryanism.
So who is the Habsburg who the author insinuates is trying to build a 4th Reich? For starters, Otto von Habsburg was a fervent anti-Nazi who was condemned to death by Hitler. The invasion of Austria was code-named "Otto" because they expected a movement to place Habsburg on the throne of Austria, which would trigger their immediate invasion to oust him.
Such kook groups probably don't have any influence on the European Union, but if anything, they probably help ensure that the EU rejects any ties to a common, Christian heritage. Further, although certain early leaders in the pan-European movement clearly did hope to construct an entity which would greatly feel the influence of the Catholic Church, if anything the EU has an anti-clerical, anti-Christian, anti-Catholic bend to it.
The term "clerk" comes from "cleric," or "priest." Hence, "anti-clerical" (which is almost synonymous in much of the world with "anti-Catholic") refers to hating an ordained priesthood. You could say that the Catholic church invented the bureaucracy. On the other hand, the terms "clerk" and "bureaucracy" took on money-managing connotations which are a little out of place describing people in a culture that had not adopted the use of a zero yet.
The church claims to be carrying on [Herbert W.] Armstrong's legacy and "Raising the Ruins" of God's one true church after the doctrinal changes made by new WCG leaders Joseph W. Tkach and his son Joseph Jr. The claims that Flurry is carrying on Armstrong's legacy and has received new revelation are rejected by other WCG split-offs (See Gerald Flurry), who consider Flurry one of the false prophets Jesus warned (Mark 13:22) would arise in God's church shortly before Christ's return (www.pcog.info). (Wikipedia)The PCoG are non-trinitarian heretics since they deviate from the creeds of the ancient catholic Church. Any resemblance to biblical Protestantism is purely coincidental.
One of the great developments of the later middle ages, along with the wide use of decimal numeration and real sentences.
Yes. "Charlemagne." His name figures prominently on all European Union documents. So says the Philadelphia Crackpot Church of No-One.
An identification and distinction which is no doubt utterly lost on the majority of readers here. I think "Protestant" for a Catholic is the equivalent of "Gentile" for a Jew.
I think they are looking at the wrong Roman empire.
The Roman empire split into two parts: east and west. The west fell centuries ago. The eastern empire continuted on (latter changing its name to the Ottoman empire) until about 1917 (WW-I).
We in the west have been so focused on ourselves (as we were part of the western Roman empire) that we have missed the fact that the eastern Roman empire ended only 100 years ago. What's more, all of the important locations in the Bible (from Jerusalem, Bablylon, Egypt, etc...) are located in what was the EASTERN Roman empire.
Remember, Rome's OFFICIAL capital was moved from Rome to Constaninople (now called Istanbul in Turkey.)
A empire consisting of most middle-eastern and north-african nations (Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Suadi Arabia, Lebanon, Egypt, Lybia, etc...) would constitute a revived eastern Roman empire too, and would include the official Roman capital of Istanbul.
First, they need a new Charles Martel. Then they can have a new Karl der Grosse.
The source is deceiving. I was reading this thinking that Patrick Madrid wrote it, and wondering how he went off the deep end like that.
The actual text is from a site called "The Trumpet".
Actually the Eastern Roman Empire was conquered and destroyed by the Ottoman Empire. It didn't change its name.
From a post of mine last October:
The Trumpet is an on-line magazine spun out of the former Worldwide Church of God, an anti-Trinitarian, Anglo-Israelism, apocalyptic personality cult:
The Trumpet has a long history of accurate forecasting of major global events based on this predictive model, tracing back to the beginnings of the Plain Truth magazine in 1934 under the direction of Herbert W. Armstrong. To explore these forecasts, read our sample issue, called He Was Right!Remembering five decades of accurate forecasting by Herbert W. Armstrong.That this article would equate such heretical beliefs with Protestantism only serves witness to the moral dishonesty and intellectual bankruptcy of the Catholic blogger who wrote it.
Boy, plenty of examples of a deficient knowledge of history on this thread, starting with the original article!
So I guess that the author's point is that a New Chancellor will rise up in Germany under the employ of the antichrist (the Pope) and undo all of the great progress that Christianity has made in Europe over the past 500 years. Wow...
Oh, the irony in that statement...
...only serves witness to the moral dishonesty and intellectual bankruptcy of the Catholic blogger who wrote it.
That said, I agree that there should be differentiation between "mainline" Protestantism, and "moonbat" Protestantism, just as there should be differentiation between the Roman Catholic Church and, say, the Church of Mel Gibson.
Yep. They fight dirty. The counter-Reformation never ended.
There's no question at all that the PCoG split off from the WCOG, which grew out of a splinter offshoot of the SDA church, which grew out of (several) churches which were unambiguously Protestant (Methodist and Baptist, principally).
So, yes, the PCoG are a group which "derives from Protestantism" (historically). Among their heresies is a rejection of the Trinity, which places them well outside the pale of traditional confessional Protestantism.
I hope that helps.

Arians and Pelagians have far more in common with the early catholic Church than PCoG has in common with Protestantism.
Which is only one step removed from the RCC denomination, so what is your point?
Late medieval. Not during the time of the German/Roman Empire. The books you cite deal with the late Middle Ages.
They had chanceries, yes. But if you think that the government apparatus, record-keeping, administration of as king or bishop in the Middle Ages was anything remotely like a modern bureaucracy, you're crazier than Joe Biden. They could never have fathomed what we mean by bureaucracy. It was not thinkable.
You wrote:
"Late medieval. Not during the time of the German/Roman Empire."
First, there was no such thing as the "German/Roman Empire". Second, late medieval or not, there were bureaucracies.
"The books you cite deal with the late Middle Ages."
And you're point is what? Is late medieval some how not medieval? You yourself wrote: "There were no bureaucracies in the Middle Ages." Middle Ages. Not "Early Middle Ages". Notice your own comment?
"They had chanceries, yes. But if you think that the government apparatus, record-keeping, administration of as king or bishop in the Middle Ages was anything remotely like a modern bureaucracy, youre crazier than Joe Biden."
Where did I ever suggest that medieval bureaucracies were like modern ones?
"They could never have fathomed what we mean by bureaucracy. It was not thinkable."
Actually I think they could have imagined it and fathomed it quite well.
Yes, the was a Roman Empire of the German Nation in the Middle Ages.
Bureaucracy is a modern invention. Sorry, it just is. Its beginnings lie in the later Middle Ages, 1400s, and it is a mark of the early modern. That's how historians define the early modern. And that's what your books deal with.
But why bother with some historical facts?
Between the two of us I am the one dealing with facts.
No you aren't.
Yeah, actually I am.
The Middle Ages is still the Middle Ages - no matter how late in the Middle Ages it is.
You can try to change the rules late in the game, but too late. You said Middle Ages, not modern period.
I already posted evidence about bureaucracy in the Middle Ages and no matter how small it was compared to MODERN bureaucracy it was STILL bureaucracy. Period.
I was right all along.
No you aren't.
Gerald Flurry has an unnatural affection for a man who died back in the 1980's named Herbert W. Armstrong. Armstrong had a long list of failed prophecies including Germany winning WWII. Armstrong also prophesied this Charlemagne would return around 1972 as leader of Germany and Jesus Christ would return in the middle 1970's. Armstrong also prophesied a German politician Franz Joseph Strauss would be this Charlemagne (Strauss died in 1988).
Since he got started in the 1930's, Armstrong always preached the World was about to end. He constantly fearmongering more and more money from members to help the "end time work" only to spent members tithes on himself, his cronies, opulent buildings, homes and Gulfstream jets.
Herbert W. Armstrong brought his son Garner Ted into the business but Garner Ted caused so much trouble with his drinking, gambling and preying on female students that the elder Armstrong had to fire him. Garner Ted Armstrong went on to found his own church where he continued his wild ways most notably assaulting a masseuse while wanking himself. In one of his more notable stories, Gerald Rivera caught the pervert Garner Ted Armstrong on film.
Like Armstrong before him, Gerald R. Flurry preaches the end of the world is near. He continually tries to fearmonger more tithe and offering money from his members for the "final push" before the Great Tribulation begins and Christ returns only to turn around and spend it buying more land, building more opulent buildings, building elegant homes for he and his cronies and his general ego gratification.
By the way, a few years back, Gerald Flurry was found by a police officer passed out drunk in an Oklahoma college campus. Gerald Flurry never explained what he was doing on a Saturday night away from his wife and kids getting drunk on a college campus.

Web's Largest listing of crowdsourcing and crowdfunding events
2,968 crowdsourcing and crowdfunding sites
In these turbulent economic times, companies ought to capitalize on every good idea generated inside — or, increasingly often, outside — their office walls. With its cloud-based innovation software, Brightidea strives to make that happen. Brightidea's flexibility distinguishes its offerings from other innovation tools and platforms: it works for private and public crowds alike. As a result, a wide range of companies, charities and government entities use the software provider's wares to facilitate their innovation processes. We spoke with Janelle Noble, Brightidea's marketing director, to learn more about the past, present and future of Brightidea's take on cloud-based innovation.
Crowdsourcing.org: Begin by briefly introducing us to Brightidea. What is the company all about?
Janelle Noble: Brightidea is the premier cloud-based innovation management software provider. Top global brands including GE, VF Corp, Kraft, Sony, Cisco and many more, use our software platform to drive and monitor the social process of innovation from concept to cash.
Packed with social software features such as dynamic user profiles, real-time activity feeds, micro-blogging, etc. as well as integrations with Sharepoint, Facebook, Twitter, among others, Brightidea software delivers enterprise-scale software that drives purposed collaboration among employees, customers, and/or the general public.
As pioneers of the innovation management software industry, Brightidea was the first to create an online innovation platform. Brightidea was featured in a Gartner report on Innovation Management as early as 2002. The company has brought many "firsts" to the innovation management market including the introduction of ideation "campaigns," widget architecture, platform extensibility, and a mobile app.
How does Brightidea's "innovation suite" differ from other collaborative work environments?
Noble: Brightidea has put over 10 years of expertise into its cloud-based innovation management software. In November 2010, Brightidea released its new Innovation Suite. Unlike other Innovation Management vendors, Brightidea's software combines unseen flexibility and functions with intuitive, user-friendly interfaces – the perfect low-barrier way to engage with employees better, and connect with customers.
Of BrightIdea's many clients, which have garnered the most innovative results using the platform?
A few leading ROI stories come out of GE, Cisco, & China Light & Power (CLP). GE and Cisco both launched the largest ever open innovation challenges, GE with its 200M Ecomagination Challenge and Cisco with its initial I-Prize Challenge. For Cisco, the 2008 I-Prize challenge generated an idea related to the "smart grid" that could potentially revolutionize how power is managed, and generate over $1 billion in revenues. For GE, the online Ecomagination Challenge represented a fundamental shift in the way the company connects and taps small businesses and independent inventors to partner on solving critical issues and has already deployed over 50M towards acquisitions and partnerships on top ideas collected.
CLP has achieved great results through the hundreds of ideas collected with their Brightidea-powered internal innovation system, innov8. The company has been named a winner of the IDC Enterprise Innovation Awards 2010 for innov8, and was a finalist for the MIS Asia 2010 IT Excellence Awards in Knowledge Management.
Though sharing information with and gathering feedback from crowds brings many benefits, it creates some risks as well — for governmental organizations, technology companies, financial services and so on. How does BrightIdea mitigate those risks?
There are many features in Brightidea that can be enabled to protect and address associated risks within certain industries. For example, while Brightidea is offered as a cloud-based solution, some, like the Department of State for example, use an on-premise version because of security requirements. In addition, features like pre-screening ideas, and terms and conditions settings can be adjusted so as ideas are submitted and reviewed, different classifications of disclosure can be addressed. Our security and hosting capabilities are audited under the strictest guidelines, proven by the many financial services companies including UBS, Swift, etc. that use Brightidea software.
In your experience, do BrightIdea's innovation tools work better for a private crowd — strictly company employees, for example — or public communities? What are the benefits and drawbacks of the two different approaches, and which is the more popular solution among BrightIdea clients?
The most common application of Brightidea software is internal, i.e. collecting employee ideas on everything from new products and product enhancements, to process improvements and safety ideas. Even still, with the larger trend of companies engaging customers, partners, and the general public through social tools, we see an influx of companies willing to open up and engage the public using Brightidea software.
Adobe Labs, Bosch, and Hess are a few examples of on-going strategic engagements to open up the company to external ideas from customers. The real need being filled is why would these companies use a 3rd party platform (think 99designs, InnoCentive or CrowdFlower) to reach out to key stakeholders regarding their products and services? By using Brightidea software, companies can use turn-key tools to create public communities where they can own the branding and user-experience and, non-trivially, the community itself. Not to mention tightly integrate that community with their existing properties on the web. It is about purity of the brand message and seamless integration so ideas collected externally are routed to where they are needed most internally for quick review, decision-making and execution.
How can BrightIdea work for non-profit organizations?
Brightidea has partnered with non-profits in the past such as UK Cancer Research and most recently World Vision. UK Cancer Research used Brightidea to conduct challenges on important topics including fundraising, events, legacy programs, as well as identifying new income opportunities. Check out the recent World Vision campaign that seeks to identify breakthrough solutions to commonly found technical problems in the field.
You have an iPhone app that allows people to micro-blog, comment on ideas, "like" updates and so on. First, do you have an Android app in the works? But more generally, how important is mobile functionality to BrightIdea?
Mobile is the future. No longer can innovation or connecting with individuals be relegated to laptops and the confines of an office. We are a mobile society. Interconnectivity is central to the Brightidea vision and mobile application is central to that connectedness. Our software works on all mobile web browsers and in addition to our iphone app, other mobile applications are under development.
BrightIdea also has a Facebook application. What can it do, and how does it play into the overall BrightIdea product offering? Explain why social network integration is not a redundant distraction from the main platform but rather a valuable addition.
Reaching your target audience is a key part of any crowd or innovation challenge. Expanding Brightidea capabilities to where the audience is most, whether that is a company website or a social network, is an obvious and important extension to fuel and sustain engagement over time. Brightidea for Facebook is a fully integrated solution that takes the front-end of a crowd challenge, and embeds the key functionality of collecting, voting and increasingly important sharing of ideas and seamlessly routes those ideas to the backend for evaluator review and decision-making.
What else should we know about BrightIdea that you haven't already told us? Perhaps about its "innovation leaders" and events?
Over the last decade, The Brightidea Innovation Grid has emerged as a carousel of independent innovation networks connected in and through Brightidea software. To fuel and fully support the development of The Brightidea Innovation Gird, Birds of a Feather was created as a network of innovation leaders dedicated to "accelerate innovation globally through the collective wisdom of innovation practitioners." Each year, meetings are held around the world hosted by the top global companies including Kraft, UBS, Chevron, CLP, Nielsen and many more. It is a low-barrier, high impact environment where practitioners can share experiences and exchange knowledge. Join the BOF community online to get exclusive access to presentations, videos, and upcoming events.
We'd like to thank Brightidea Marketing Director Janelle Noble for taking the time to answer our questions.

|What others are saying about Perfectly Clear: "There are A TON of iPhone photography apps out there but one of the best is Athentech's Perfectly Clear app which improves your photos instantly. We love the interface which gives you some great "before and after" action." - http://www.demystifyingdigital.com/ "What do I think about Perfectly Clear? In a word "FANTASTIC". This app does everything that iFlashReady and AutoAdjust can do for me, but with much greater control." - http://www.iphoneography.com/ "I love showing the innovation of the Perfectly Clear iPhone app to my customers and friends! The user experience is very slick - I really like the way the original photo peels off to show the corrected photo. The automatic corrections are very effective, consistently producing a better looking and accurate photo with no effort on my part. This app really has the potential to encourage users to do more with their photos due to the increase in photo quality." -Ken Easdon, Fuji Film, Professional Products "Perfectly Clear is an apt (pun intended) name for this software since it automatically removes that flat, grey, haze from your iPhone shots to produce bright, crisp, and colorful images. Not sure what Athentech is using in its special sauce—Perfectly Clear apparently employs several patented technologies—but the before and after slider in the app produces dramatic results." - http://www.pdngearguide.com/ ~~~ Tired of dark, washed-out, flat, and fuzzy photos with your iPhone? With 1 click you can now have your photos automatically corrected! The Perfectly Clear app applies multi-patented corrections automatically to your photos. Powered by the same technology licensed to many of the largest photography companies, retailers, and labs around the world. To learn more about what sets our digital corrections apart from traditional corrections, check our website: athentech.com Simply take a photo, or choose one from your library, and Perfectly Clear will automatically correct it. There are 2 presets that you can use to correct your photo, or you can easily and quickly tweak your photo by adjusting 5 different algorithms. 1. EXPOSURE: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfect Exposure is the most important correction and forms the core for all other corrections. It . This patented approach optimizes the light in every pixel correcting the image to emulate how your eye gathers light thereby replicating what you saw when you took the photo. 2. CONTRAST: ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfectly Clear optimizes the contrast, choosing the right amount of shadow to provide those 3D cues without losing details in those shadows. Increasing the shadows in a photo helps reveal the textures and shapes in the scene, providing visual cues of the 3D world in a 2D photograph. 3. COLOR VIBRANCY: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfectly Clear's color vibrancy correction puts the rich colors back into your photo. Due to the linear nature of digital camera sensors, when more light is gathered, the sensors frequently become over saturated and color vibrancy is lost. 4. SHARPEN: ~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfectly Clear's proprietary sharpening is a series of algorithms developed to deliver a crisp looking photo that is artifact free. 5. TINT REMOVAL: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Perfectly Clear will detect any color cast or abnormal tint in your photo and this patent pending algorithm will automatically correct these unwanted tints. TIPS: ~~~~~ • Slide your finger sideways across the photo to compare the before and after results. • Tapping your finger on the photo will toggle between the before and after image. • The "Default" preset is applied to each image when first loaded. • The "Fix Dark" preset is particularly good for images that have very dark and very bright areas. • For fixing really dark images try turni

Mahdia students have access to books
Minister of Local Govern-ment Norman Whittaker says that school students in Mahdia, Region Eight can access the community's Resource Centre and were given books for a reading corner.
"The students of Mahdia, Campbelltown and surrounding areas who are accommodated in the school dormitory have access to the Mahdia Resource Centre….the secondary school itself as well as dormitory were issued with numerous books for the establishment of a reading corner," Whittaker said in written response to questions from Alliance for Change Member of Parliament Valerie Garrido-Lowe in the National Assembly on Thursday.
Garrido-Lowe had asked if the ministry had any plans for setting up a library in the Mahdia Secondary School's dormitories anytime soon. She said that the students are being denied the opportunity of reading for relaxation and enjoyment which would result in the expansion of their consciousness. Lowe stated too that it is the duty of the State to create a good study environment for the students.
Whittaker, in his response, also mentioned that the students were provided with sports gear for recreational activities.

Sounders FC scored twice in the first half to beat the expansion Philadelphia Union 2-0 in the Major League Soccer season opener Thursday at Qwest Field in front of a team-record 36,241 fans.
For the second straight year, Major League Soccer turned to Seattle to kick off the regular season in front of a capacity crowd and a national-television audience.
And for the second straight year, Sounders FC — with both its players and a sellout crowd of 36,241 — put on a dazzling show while beating expansion Philadelphia 2-0 on a rainy Thursday night at Qwest Field.
Behind first-half goals from Brad Evans and Fredy Montero, who combined to score all three goals in last year's opening-day win against New York, Seattle took a commanding early lead and didn't relinquish it.
"For us, we wanted hopefully to start something here like we did last year," said Evans. "It's important to jump off with three points."

The fast start silenced worries about the offense.
Seattle had struggled to finish scoring chances consistently in 2009, and went scoreless in its final two games this preseason against lower-tier opponents Vancouver and Portland.
"The scoring drought is over," coach Sigi Schmid said with a smile.
Sounders FC (1-0) took the early lead in the 12th minute when a great series of passes culminated with a goal by Evans from eight yards out.
The buildup started when Freddie Ljungberg passed it along the left wing to Steve Zakuani, who then played a give-and-go with Montero before cutting the ball back in front of the goal to a wide-open Evans.
Seattle had been emphasizing quick passing and movement off the ball in the preseason.
"I thought the first goal was an excellent goal, was a really well-played goal," Schmid said. "Those were some of the things we've been working on."
Down 1-0, a comeback effort by Philadelphia (0-1) took a severe hit in the 40th minute when defender Toni Stahl was ejected after receiving his second yellow card of the match.
Three minutes later, Sounders FC doubled its lead when Montero dived from just outside the goal post to head in a wayward shot by Osvaldo Alonso.
"It was one of the toughest goals to score in my entire professional career," said Montero, who finished with seven shots.
The game was all but settled at that point, with a two-goal lead and a one-man Sounders FC advantage, said goalkeeper Kasey Keller.
"Then it's over," he said. "But at the same time, give them a lot of credit. They didn't stop. They kept working hard."
In the 55th minute, Zakuani nearly made it 3-0, but his shot on an empty net went wide after Union goalkeeper Chris Seitz left the goal in an attempt to clear the ball.
Seattle had the better of the scoring chances in the second half, including late opportunities by Sanna Nyassi and Michael Fucito.
Philadelphia's best chance to score came in the 38th minute, when ex-Sounder Sebastien Le Toux appeared to have a goal in his return to Seattle, but it was called back for offside.
The Union missed a chance to become the third expansion team (joining Seattle in 2009 and Chicago in 1998) to win its first MLS game.
• The Sounders placed Nate Jaqua on injured reserve. The 6-foot-4 forward/midfielder has been recovering from a pelvic injury for most of training camp and must now sit out six MLS games, per league rules.
• Starting defender James Riley was suspended for the game after receiving a red card in the team's last match of the 2009 season, against Houston.
• Thursday's attendance set a team record for an MLS regular-season or postseason game.
• Seattle's next game is at home against New York on April 3.

Electric and refreshing flavours are cropping up in unlikely pockets of Chile and Argentina, at altitude and near the sea. Patricio Tapia discovers the risks and rewards of viticulture in uncharted territory
If in the past, most of Argentina's viticulture was based on Andean altitude and, at the same time, that of Chile centred on the cold influence of the sea, nowadays those roles have flipped. Little by little, fascinating new vineyards are appearing in the Chilean Andes and other no-less-extraordinary projects are showing up on the Atlantic coast of Argentina. South American wine is taking new risks and gaining new flavours.
At 2,000m in the Alcohuaz sector of the Chilean Elqui Valley, it seems that nature has never been tamed. thorn trees dot the rocky soil and the silhouette of the mountains cuts across an intense blue sky. I am told there are foxes and hares here, and that it is common to see condors flying over the peaks; with a wingspan exceeding three metres, these are the flying giants of the Andes.
It was here, 400km north of Santiago, that Alvaro Flaño began to plant vineyards. there were vineyards down in the valley – especially of grapes destined for pisco (the Andean brandy) – but no one had planted so high, at the end of the valley, this close to the Argentinian border.
Flaño began to buy land in Elqui in the mid-1990s. But it wasn't until 2005 that he decided to risk growing wine grapes. 'Our logic was that if pisco grapes grew well and were so aromatic in this sunny, dry climate, wine varieties would probably show good results, too,' says his son Patricio, who now runs the Viñedos de Alcohuaz project.
Of course, not all varieties grew well at altitude, on soils with extremely low fertility and in a climate that locals claim has 60 cloudy days, five rainy days, and 300 days of sun. 'There was too much sun for Merlot and Cabernet Franc, and they dehydrated,'Patricio says.
However, other varieties more accustomed to sun, such as Syrah and Carignan, grew very well. In the beginning, in 2007, De Martino bought Syrah. A year later, those grapes went into the Alto Los Toros Single Vineyard, a Syrah planted nearly 2,000m up RAPEL and one of the stars of the De Martino portfolio made by the winemaker Marcelo Retamal.
Syrah is also the main ingredient in the first wine from Viñedos Alcohuaz, a 2011 red that is nearly 100% from Alto Los Toros. It is delicious, with lively black fruit flavours, creamy on the palate, its ripeness in harmony with a marked acidity.
This Syrah was made by Retamal, who became a partner in the project in 2007, and took charge of making the wines. He expects it to hit the market in late 2014, though Patricio Flaño adds that they are in no hurry – if they feel the wine needs more time, they will wait.
They built the cellar – burrowed into a cave in the middle of the mountain – with the same sense of calm. 'No rush, it will be ready when it's ready,' says Flaño as we venture inside. They also built lagares from local rocks to soften the grapes better during pressing by foot. Retamal says that because the grapes develop very thick skins to protect them from the sun, softening these tough skins is important. He says the sun is the key here. 'My hypothesis is that in high-altitude zones, the soil is less important than the weather,' he explains as he pours a sample of the 2012 Carignan from the property's highest vineyard at 2,200m. 'You need to protect the grapes from the sun. There is almost no disease because the air is so dry, but you still need a balanced vineyard so that the flavours don't burn.' Once again, there is that freshness adorned with spices and pure, ripe red fruit.
Sun was also a concern for Felipe Müller, the winemaker at Viña Tabalí, when they decided to climb to the heights of the Río Hurtado, 1,800m above sea level in the Limarí Valley.
After driving for several hours along the winding roads that follow the course of the Río Hurtado towards the Andes, we finally arrive at a spot where the river basin seems to widen. It is almost sunset, and a flock of parrots flies beside us, as if to welcome us. The gentle Andean hillsides dip down toward the river against a backdrop of the mountain with its snowy peak glowing in the sun's last rays.
Tabalí bought this property, some 350km north of Santiago, in 2010, planning to plant walnuts. Müller and Tabalí's viticulturist Hector Rojas, however, thought it would be a good opportunity to diversify their terroirs in Limarí. 'At the time, we had vineyards very close to the coast in Talinay, as well as in the intermediate sector, such as in the Valle del Encanto, where the winery is located, but we still hadn't climbed the mountain,' says Müller.
So they climbed it. In 2011, they planted eight experimental hectares to 11 varieties, including Merlot, Carignan, Malbec, Petite Sirah, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and even Carmenere. The first harvest was this year. 'It's too early to draw conclusions,' says Müller. 'My major concern was that the fruit would burn, leaving us with overripe flavours, but that wasn't the case.'
The sun is just as intense here as it is in Elqui, but the difference is that this small vineyard is entirely east-facing – the sun sets early and leaves the vineyard in the shade for much of the afternoon, refreshing the flavours of the grapes.
This may be the reason that the Malbec from these infant vines has such a level of fruit, such intensity and, perhaps, such freshness – qualities that I had never seen in Chilean Malbec, only in some Malbecs from the highest zones of Mendoza.
For now, Malbec is one of the stars of the vineyard, although Cabernet Sauvignon and Carmenere have also yielded good wines with concentration and strength. His dream is to make a wine from this vineyard, blending all the most successful varieties.
If that dream were to come true, we will be able to add a new face to the diversity of Chilean wine, a face that comes from the unthinkable heights of the Andes, a place that has barely been exploited so far in Chilean viticulture.
Maritime Argentina
Early autumn is a good time to visit Viedma, on the banks of the Río Negro in Argentinian Patagonia, nearly 1,000km south of Buenos Aires. It is at this time of year that the potbellied silversides come to spawn along the Atlantic coast, some 30km from where Bodega Océano, the only winery in this maritime zone, has its vineyards.
Bodega owner Juan Lascano describes the fish enthusiastically. He speaks of their oily texture and intense flavour, and the fact that they only need to be breaded and fried in very hot oil – before being served with one of his wines, of course.
Juan and his brother Jorge are sons of Italian and Spanish immigrants. Their father arrived in the region in the mid-1950s, building roads when Patagonia was even more desolate and uninhabited than it is nowadays. The brothers were born in Viedma, the capital of Río Negro Province and worked in their father's bread factory until 1998, when they decided to try planting vines. They opted for land along the river, close to the sea.
'The soils here are very uneven. Both the river and the winds drag matter toward the sea, leaving some spots rocky and others sandy. Both have worked very well with red varieties such as Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet, as well as with whites such as Sauvignon Blanc,' says Lascano.
Despite being so far south, Viedma is not a rainy zone (360mm per year). Neither is it particularly cold (Lascano calculates that the harvest date for Malbec is more or less the same as in Mendoza), but it does stand out for its maritime influence, which gives rise to fog in the summer mornings and calms the hot winds that come from the east.
It is likely to be this influence that make the reds from Océano seem so fresh in the context of Argentina. 'All the varieties we have, including Pinot Noir, yield well-balanced grapes and we never have to correct the acidity,' says Lascano, referring to a practice common in drier and hotter zones such as Mendoza.
Their Gran Reserva 2008, a blend of Malbec, Merlot and Cabernet, has a strong sense of place – pure crisp and lively fruit, freshness and zingy acidity. I'd happily drink this with those breaded silversides, watching the Río Negro glide toward the sea.
Some 700km north of Viedma, is Mar del Plata, and just 3km from the sea lie the Argentinian vineyards growing closest to the coast, a small, 4ha (hectare) block planted by the giant Trapiche and Jorge Estrada, a local landowner. The site is called Chapadmalal. Daniel Pi, head winemaker at Trapiche, tells me that Estrada also owns vineyards in Mendoza, and that Trapiche has managed them for years. But in 2009, they met in Chapadmalal and began to wonder what it would be like to make wines there, in what must be Argentina's most extreme zone for wine.
'It rains a lot, and the sea is very cold. I reckon the water temperature doesn't rise above 16oC in the summer,' says Pi. Taking these conditions into account, they decided to plant varieties that adapt well to cold, such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. If the grapes didn't ripen enough for still wines, they calculated, they could be used for sparkling. But that wasn't necessary.
The first harvest in 2012 proved that although the harvest was even later than in Mendoza's highest zones, the wines could still reach excellent balance. The Chardonnay, for example, was picked two weeks later than those in the Los Árboles zone of the Uco Valley (1,200m above sea level), and yet the wine was nearly two degrees lower in alcohol.
That was the good news. The bad news was that because they had no winery, they had to transport the fruit nearly 1,500km to Trapiche in Mendoza, and many grapes were damaged. 'So we decided to build a cellar here in Chapadmalal. We vinified here in 2013 and the results are amazing,' Pi says.
I was able to taste the first vintage, and the 2012 Pinot Noir offered electric and refreshing flavours which I had never come across in Argentina. And they come precisely from an Argentina that nobody knows, one that is discovering itself in a territory so vast and varied that it may contain many other Viedmas, dozens of other Mar del Platas. Thanks to these and other projects, the up-and-coming Argentina will be quite different from today.

Chilean & Argentinian terroir: accepted wisdom
Traditionally, the influence of terroir on Chilean wines has focused on the cooling effect of the Pacific or the proximity of the Andes and their breezes. It is, then, a division from east to west, from the mountains to the sea. Now this is reflected in the law, which since 2012 has allowed the use of the terms 'Andes' for wines that are born nearby, 'Entre Valles' for wines from Central Valley, between the Andes and the Coastal Range; and 'Costa', for wines located near the sea. Although latitude is important in Chile (consider the rainy south or the dry deserts to the north), much more so is the influence of the Pacific or the fresh breezes coming down from the Andes.
In Argentina the action is based on altitude, hence almost all the vineyards define the personality of their grapes in relation to how high up they are into the Andes. The higher altitude vineyards are in the Valles Calchaquies, to the north, reaching 2,600 meters above sea level. The Uco Valley, south of Mendoza, is the most popular high-altitude area with Gualtallary as its peak, at around 1,600m. Patagonia is the exception in the hunt for altitude, with some 3,000ha (hectares) planted along the Río Negro River, of a total 217,000ha in Argentina.

Better Left Unsaid : Victorian Novels, Hays Code Films, and the Benefits of Censorship
ISBN13:by Gilbert, Nora
Stanford Univ Pr
Questions About This Book?
What version or edition is this?
This is the edition with a publication date of 1/9/2013.

Better Left Unsaidis in the unseemly position of defending censorship from the central allegations that are traditionally leveled against it. Taking two genres generally presumed to have been stymied by the censor's knifethe Victorian novel and classical Hollywood filmthis book reveals the varied ways in which censorship, for all its blustery self-righteousness, can actually be good for sex, politics, feminism, and art. As much as Victorianism is equated with such cultural impulses as repression and prudery, few scholars have explored the Victorian novel as a "censored" commoditythanks, in large part, to the indirectness and intangibility of England's literary censorship process. This indirection stands in sharp contrast to the explicit, detailed formality of Hollywood's infamous Production Code of 1930. In comparing these two versions of censorship, Nora Gilbert explores the paradoxical effects of prohibitive practices. Rather than being ruined by censorship, Victorian novels and Hays Code films were stirred and stimulated by the very forces meant to restrain them.

Tiny T. Rex Startles ScientistsBreaking News
A (relatively) miniature Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton—with the classic outsize jaws, long legs, and teensy arms—has been discovered in China, and is providing scientists insight into the evolutionary line that produced the beast that would someday inspire a million Halloween costumes. This scaled-down Tyrannosaurus ancestor, called Raptorex kriegsteini, was nine feet long and weighed only about as much as a human: 150 lbs. (A whippet compared to its descendant, which was nearly 100 times heavier and five times longer.) The discovery disproves a long-held belief among paleontologists that T. rex's distinctive features developed as a consequence of its enormous size. Scientists now think of Raptorex's traits as "a body blueprint for a predator—jaws on legs, as it were—that is one of the most successful of the Mesozoic…" And they were scalable as Tyrannosaurus grew: "When they did there was no turning back until the asteroid hit."

Have an extra £3.5 million? In the market for a human foot made of gold? Well this is your lucky day, friend, because Japanese jeweller Ginza Tanaka is putting a 25-kilogram (55 lbs.) pure gold replica of Lionel Messi's left foot on sale at that, low, low price of £3.5m (or 486,500,000 yen).
And just to make the deal that much sweeter, a certificate of authenticity from the Leo Messi foundation and duralumin case are even included free of charge. But you must act fast because the one of a kind item will only be available from March 7 to June 6, 2013.
Ginza Tanaka held a special launch event in Tokyo with the help of Messi's brother Rodrigo. The Golden Foot, which commemorates Messi's world-record 91 goals in 2012 record fourth Ballon d'Or win, will be on display at various Ginza Tanaka stores in Japan through June.
If £3.5m is just a bit out of your price range though, you're in luck! For only £62,790, you can own the Golden Foot Plate instead. An imprint of Messi's foot (again, the left one) in 300 grams of pure gold with an engraved autograph and wood frame, the Golden Foot Plate is limited to 50 pieces and comes with a certificate of authenticity, a box and a duralumin case.
For Ginza Tanaka's cheapest customers, there is also the Golden Foot Mini -- a £28,000 version of the full-sized Golden Foot that weighs 100 grams and is limited to just 100 pieces. And it of course comes with a certificate of authenticity, duralumin case PLUS a leather case.
You can inquire about the products through Ginza Tanaka's Golden Foot website, which features a "making of" video and a message from Leo himself. A portion of all sales will help those affected by the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan in 2011 through the Leo Mess foundation. So collect them all! Do it now! Finance plans are surely available.

A lot of people have asked me how I like unemployment. I'm apparently not a very good hobo, because after too short of a period off, I got another gig.
Now, I hope you're sitting down (and given that you're reading my blog, you probably are, though you shouldn't be), but I've got a job, and I'm not even employed as a system administrator! How bizarre is that?
So what is my full time gig? Well, I can't stay away from tech completely, of course, so I'm like an "event coordinator" working with Gestalt IT planning Tech Field Day events! Awesome, right??
I've done a Tech Field Day before, in 2010, on the Boston trip, aka Tech Field Day 2, and I asked to come to the current one, TFD7, mostly because Bob Plankers of Lone Sysadmin fame was going to be there, and I've wanted to meet Bob for a long time. Little did I know that I was going to be there helping to organize it!
For anyone who isn't aware, Tech Field Day is an event that brings together around 12 tech bloggers and "independent thought leaders" from around the world to one city. Once there, they're herded from one company to another where they hear and take part in presentations of enterprise IT solutions. The companies find it valuable to have people at the top of their game getting a very personal experience with their offerings, and it's great for the bloggers because in almost every case, we get to meet the engineers who actually created the products, so we get real answers.
Just because the vendors are paying to appear at TFD doesn't mean that it's a "love fest". Anything but, really; I've seen everything from adoration because a solution REALLY WAS amazing to near mutiny because of a combination of bad presenter plus bad slides.
Tech Field Day delegates don't get paid for taking part in the event. We sometimes get things given to us by the sponsors, and when that happens, we disclose it on our blogs. We don't sign NDAs, but we will respect embargo dates.
So who does Tech Field Day consist of? Bloggers, mostly, but they're pretty much all experts in their fields and at the top of their games. Here's the rundown:
|Theron Conrey
|Scott Lowe
|Roger Lund
|Frank Owen
|Bob Plankers
|The Lone Sysadmin
|Fabio Rapposelli
P2V It!
|Brandon Riley
|virtual insanity
|Derek Schauland
|Technically Speaking
|Matt Vogt
|Virtualization, Storage, Community
And me, too.
There are some great companies presenting as well:
|Thursday, August 11
|Friday, August 12
Since we're in Austin, we're spending a decent amount of time with Dell, but we're going to be seeing a lot of different aspects of the business. They have a huge presence in Austin, where they employ over 17,000 people across three campuses and more than a dozen buildings. It should be really interesting!
So that's how I've been keeping myself busy – planning for the next Tech Field Day!
We delegates don't do it just for ourselves…sure, I mean, it's fun to go spend a few days in a new city meeting people we've only talked to over the internet, but we do it because it helps us share information with you, our readers. Stephen Foskett, the organizer of Tech Field Day, knows that, and he's worked hard to set up a system where anyone who wants to can take part.
During Tech Field Day (August 11-12), the home page will include embedded live video of what's currently happening, and twitter will be abuzz with discussion, too. Just use the #techfieldday hashtag to join the discussion. It's always fun watching it with Twitterfall.
Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions, because this is going to probably be my last Tech Field Day as a delegate, and I'm representing you, my readers. Let your voice be heard!
