[Publisher's Note: I've been arguing with film and TV critic Tom Carson for over a decade, over all sorts of issues. One is the relative merit, or lack thereof, of the films of Steven Spielberg, about whom I'm quite enthusiastic; Tom, not so much. Tom's recent, highly skeptical take on Schindler's List in The American Prospect sparked a chain of emails between us. We talked about Spielberg, history, Hollywood, the relationship between showmanship and truth, and other thorny issues. Read on, and feel free to argue with either (or both) of us in the comments.—Matt Zoller Seitz]
Matt Zoller Seitz: It's fascinating to me that, after all these decades, and after so many Oscars and Oscar nominations and such a gigantic box-office take, Steven Spielberg is still considered an "issue."
Tom Carson: Then we must read very different stuff online, because one reason I get so contrary about him is the amount of uncritical reverence he attracts.
MZS: I don't get the "uncritical reverence" thing at all. The industry has canonized him for financial as well as "respectability" reasons—to Hollywood, he's like Walt Disney, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kramer, and maybe Cecil B. DeMille rolled into one, and they've certainly given him every award in existence at some point or another. But I wouldn't describe the critical or even popular reception as purely adulatory. The numerous takedowns of Lincoln this past year seem to me like proof of that.
TC: But even when people find fault with a particular movie of his, he's on a sort of hallowed plane I mistrust. Interestingly, in my experience, that's especially true among younger movie buffs -- who might be expected to think of Spielberg as an oldie and, you know, chafe a bit. Instead, he seems to be a hallowed figure to them, the guy who defines what movies can be.
MZS: Not a week goes by that I don't see somebody on social media linking to a think piece or an interview with some other filmmaker decrying Spielberg as a rank sentimentalist, a hack, a fascist with a smiley face, or some combination. You've had serious problems with him for quite some time, Tom, and since I've been arguing with you about him for years now, I thought it might be fun to argue about him here.
The spark for this is your recent piece for The American Prospect, keyed into the 20th anniversary of Schindler's List. It took the film to task for some of the same reasons that Stanley Kubrick disliked it—for, in essence, finding a triumphant story within a narrative of genocide.
This isn't the first time you've been very skeptical about one of his historical films. I still remember your Esquire piece from 1999, after Saving Private Ryan came out and became a cultural phenomenon. It included a line so provocative that it made me write a whole rebuttal in New York Press: "Honestly, I can't see much that Hitler would have wanted changed in Saving Private Ryan, except the color of the uniforms." And this: "It's a weird reversal of the usual proportions of the selfless-gallantry genre, in which one man dies to save many. As a parable of this nation's World War II sacrifices, the story would be truer to what the GIs deserve being honored for if Ryan were a European. Then again, Saving Monsieur Renault might not have gripped the modern Stateside audience: Who cares about some damn snail eater? Instead, in a way that's both solipsistic and tautological, saving the world gets redefined as saving ourselves--which must mean we are the world."
Is it possible to sum up what it is about Spielberg that irks you so? Is it his filmmaking, his choice of subjects, his world view, or some combination?
TC: Every problem I have with Spielberg starts with conceding his brilliance as a filmmaker. That's particularly true when he's giving us one of his 20th-century history lessons. With both SPR and Schindler's List, there's a way that his depiction of the event gets conflated with, or even outright supercedes, the event itself. If you find fault with those movies, you're indifferent to the GIs' sacrifices or the Holocaust's evil. And since I care a lot about history, I care a lot about those movies' inadequacies in substituting for the real thing in people's minds.
If the comparison isn't too incongruous, it's a bit like the way the Disney versions of classic children's stories have become the quasi-official ones. I don't want Spielberg's idea of the Normandy invasion to be the authoritative one any more than I want the Disney version of The Jungle Book to replace Kipling. But my animus may have something to do with the fact that The Jungle Book and Cornelius Ryan's The Longest Day are two books I knew practically by heart at age 10.
MZS: Well, I think what Spielberg is doing in these historical films is a more sophisticated than he's being given credit for. He's working in that Stanley Kramer vein—which is to say, on the most basic level, at the level of glossy Hollywood entertainment—but I don't necessarily think the takeaway of his historical films is as simplistic as detractors say.
For instance, Schindler's List, to me, doesn't feel like a triumph-of-the-human-spirit movie at all, because it constantly makes us aware that this is an anomalous story; a lot of innocent people die onscreen in the film, and it's portrayed with an almost Kubrickian level of cold absurdity, such as that scene where the young Jewish woman architect tells the Nazi officers that their architecture plans are subpar, and they take her advice to heart, then shoot her anyway.
I can't think of another mainstream American film that explores the sick intricacies and self-justifying anti-logic of fascism and antisemitism as thoroughly as Schindler's List does. I think the question, "How could a thing like this happen?" is asked and answered in the movie in a no-fuss, very pragmatic way: It happened, and the explanation is less important than the fact of all that moral inaction/complicity/corruption happening in every corner of the film.
The moment where Schindler observes the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto from afar, and suddenly sees this one little girl with a red coat, is a brilliant moment, one that challenges the audience in a clever, almost subliminal way. Schindler doesn't personally know any of the people he's watching suffer, but that splash of red indicates that he individualized this one abstraction, this one child, for whatever inscrutable personal reason. Suddenly the abstraction isn't abstract anymore, and that launches him into this secret, very risky mission to save as many people as he can, at great risk to himself. That's all it takes. And the implication is, that's all it should take for anyone. I don't think Schindler's List devalues the magnitude of the Holocaust at all. I think it refuses to stop at the horror, refuses to put it in the past and declare it a mysterious, unanswerable horror, something sacred that you can never even depict for fear of trivializing it. I think it's taking a much more common sense approach, a present tense, "What does this mean now?" approach, and saying something like, "It is possible to just make up your mind to give a damn about people you think have no connection to you—to just decide to care, and then to take action."
We're all Schindler, standing on that hillside watching horrors happen far away; we all could decide to add a splash of color to one person's distant grey coat, and suddenly we're invested, and it's not as inscrutably difficult as we might make the process out to be. Maybe we intellectualize the basic issues too much.
That's what I get out of Schindler's List, and I think it's hugely valuable. Is it naïve or corny to respond to a message like that? Or is refusing to respond to a message like than an indication of the sort of moral paralysis that enables atrocities to happen in the first place? There's an anger, a furious present-tense anger, in Spielberg's depiction of Nazi violence against Jews that caught me by surprise back in 1993, that still feels fresh, and that I believe is of great value and purpose.
Most Holocaust movies, whether dramas or documentaries, are a lament for something that happened a long time ago, and that has been sort of entombed by history, or by history books. When we say that a movie makes history "come alive," it's always a veiled admission that for most of us, anything that happened before we were born is a dead thing, dead to us, in the past, irrelevant except in terms of academic study or maybe political comparison. The history in Spielberg's movies is not that way. Once you get past the bracketing devices, which I mostly don't care for, and you're in the thick of it, it's happening now. You're right in the middle of things. Suddenly what's past has become present tense.
Schindler's List might be Spielberg's best example of this sort of approach to history. It's got a dramatic-personal arc for the main character, and humor, and pathos/sentiment. But mostly it's angry. It's angry that these events happened in the first place. I mean, truly angry. Incredulously angry. Some of the more blackly humorous, Strangelove-ian depictions of German illogic are scathing. You can feel the filmmaker going, "You've got to be kidding me . . . How insane is this? How ridiculous is this? And what kind of spineless, ass-covering cowards would stand around letting something like this happen, for fear of losing their property or their social station?" It's a primal response that is at times closer to what you'd expect from somebody like Oliver Stone than from Steven Spielberg, who is not know for his anger.
I love that sense of revulsion, the sense that the whole movie is shuddering in recoil. This movie holds the audience to a higher moral standard than most movies about the Holocaust, by not keeping the horror safely in the past, by making the violence present tense and battering you with it. And it's really important to point out, again, that this movie is aimed at a general audience, at the widest possible viewership, and that most of the people seeing this have perhaps not imagined themselves into the situation as extensively as a history buff might have already done, or as a documentary buff might have already done. Job number one for a film of this type is to immerse the viewer and make the situations feel immediate, to spark an emotional understanding. And on that score, large parts of this film—and parts of Spielberg's other historical dramas—are very successful. I don't see how one could look at the movie and not think, "What would I do in this situation? If I were part of the ruling class, or one of the so-called 'good Germans,' would I risk everything the way Schindler did?"
For all the awards the film has won, I don't think it has ever really been given proper credit for that.

2014 Scion TC Debuts at New York Auto Show
For more than 100 years, the New York Auto Show has been the place for automakers to show off their most innovative new vehicle designs. This year is no exception, though the star of the show may just be the 10th generation Toyota Scion TC.

And many of you suggested – like Paul Oakenfold a decade earlier – that the buildings' heritage needs to be celebrated.
So what better way to underline this cultural importance than a blue plaque? The famous ceramic discs that celebrate our most notable playwrights, actors and scientists?
And yup, that's exactly what we've done. We called our mate, the artist Alban Low, and together knocked up five unique Kentishtowner plaques to commemorate these legendary party palaces with the cheeky reverence they deserve. For quotes, we selected the best lines from Tom's original feature last week.
Said plaques in hand, we flew around town this afternoon armed with a 'telescopic' window-cleaning pole to ensure they were posted at the correct height.
Find out how we got on over the next few pages…
Turnmills made me the person I am today and gave me all my closest and best mates as well!
Thank you Turnmills!!! Much Love <3
Nations, four aces, shenolas, oasis classic venues
Leisure Lounge, Hanover Grand, Samantha's Discotheque, Hombre De Bahia, The Gardening Club, I could go on...wicked times..all these sites deserve a wee bit of recognition
@gemma gee karpediem on a sunday Night @leisure lounge........ What a blast!!!! Vertigo on a sunday night at the cross best days of my clubslife!!!!
I was Peach member number 102.
We had sliver membership cards.
Cafe de Paris was the best venue.
It was a big family, every week the same people would greet me with hugs. B-)
Peas pie pudding superman
These sounds fall into my mind.
Then Bagleys. Brilliant place. Loads of rooms and the big stage where I used to dance.
When you were really "dancing" we'd stand at the edge and hundreds in the room would follow is.
You'd come up like a bitch amd dance til u naerly died.
Also techno night at 414 club brixton.
240bpm :-B
@Colin cafe de pausa!!!! Been there as well those were the glamour club days
Will Hidden get 1?
Watch this space Sian!
Have to add it was the home to many hazy acid raves between '87 - '89 and later evolved into jungle and ended as a deep house club.
How about Shenola's in Hackney (later Belair, i think the last incarnation was Powerhouse). Now makes up part of the Olympic site.
What about Labyrinth or Four Aces in Dalston Lane ??? Now tower blocks.
Kings Cross redevelopment has suggested a competition to name some of the new roads around the area. how about a nod to what once was.. i've gone with Cross Street and Bagleys Way http://www.kingscross.co.uk/street-naming-competition
I agree about leisure lounge!!! Was one of the most legendary clubs I went to... Peach was stand out!!!.....
Used to regularly go to Bagleys (those yellow bars around the stage could just be seen in your previous article - brought back some memories!) in the early 00's. Weirdly, when I go to Kings Cross now the area is so different that I can't even place where Bagleys / The Cross would have been. Only that the Filling Station was where we used to stock up on food for the journey home. I posted this on my FB page the other week, it's a video of people exploring the inside of Bagleys. Lost is indeed the word. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=334531926646376&set=a.242618522504384.40459.202456749853895&type=1
Great idea, I would like to see one at the old 'Leisure Lounge' site in Holborn. Great nights.
could do without the kentishtowner.co.uk at the top of the plaques
Love this, but 'The End's' plaque has already been removed. Cycled past this morning :-(
That's utterly brilliant Tom.
Superdrug used to be a Waterstones...
Velvet Rooms was on the next block up, the building is not there any more.
Need a club dog plaque outside the sir George robey
This became Megadog who helped get the nascent rave scene out of the studio and out playing live


text: I am interested in how organisms develop. Research projects in my group are focused around two critical areas of biology that are required for the proper development of any organism: cell division and cell movement. Projects focused on cell division include: (1) Mitotic spindle assembly in sea urchin eggs and (2) Mitochondrial replication and segregation in yeast cells. The project focused on cell movement (3) is centered on understanding motor protein function in slime mold cells. Students working on these projects use a variety of scientific approaches and learn molecular biology, cell biology and biochemical techniques.

It is a single pivot design and when i recieved it from the guy i bought it from, the shaft was facing towards the back. I was wondering if the direction of the shock matters on a single pivot rear suspension design.

Jeff is up north at a friend's cabin–fishing and having fun. I am so happy he finally could GO. He has been asked several times the last couple of summers but always when there were major kid events that he was required to attend. He never gets away, so I am happy that it worked out! When he is gone I feel like I have no responsibilities, and I also feel kind of lost. It is nice how quiet it is this morning, as I lie in bed and gaze out the window at the dappled sunlight that shines through the leaves of the tree outside my window. It looks pleasant outside, like the shady tree would bring refreshing shade and the sun the warm glow that is so attractive to Franklin that he finds the nearest sunbeam to nap. You can't see the humidity that sucks the life out of you as soon as you open the door.
On Thursday, we took the kids and a bunch of their friends to the Cannon River and floated down the river in tubes. It was an all day event, and we had so much fun! Everyone brought their own lunches/drinks and we stopped off on a sand bar to eat lunch and then tubed some more. By the time I got home from driving all the kids home–Jeff only had to take one neighborhood kid home, but he was making dinner–it was almost time for dinner. I remembered that I had to text my mom to let her know we were not lost in the currant forever, and that's when I got my sister's text.
My dad is going through a downward slide right now and this is throwing my family into a transition. He needs more care. My mom needs more help. And I feel like I should just move in to their apartment, but in the same breath I want to ignore the whole thing. I am trying to be neutral. I am trying to gather all of the facts so we can make a good decision about the kind of care my dad needs, and the kind of help that my mom needs. These two things are also at odds. One family member in particular has very strong opinions and not very good listening skills….oh, who am I kidding, WE ALL have very strong opinions and the listening skills are at the low end. I am probably the only one who actually listens to anyone. It is HARD not to put in my own two cents, but I try and let people have their opinions, and keep mine out of it. But all of this will effect my mom's well being on one hand, and my dad's well being on the other.
Jeff has been great. Really great. My sister's text told me that my dad went to the ER on Thursday because his blood pressure was so low. He was dehydrated, so they gave him an IV drip and a couple bags of fluid. I was told by my mom and my sister not to go to the hospital. It didn't feel right, but I sat down to dinner and tried not to worry. It was Jeff that insisted that we go. He drove me there and we ended up driving my parents home when my dad was discharged. I slept over there to do night duty. I probably wouldn't have done that if Jeff wouldn't have driven me to the hospital. I am so grateful that he did.
My dad was up every two hours. My mom got to sleep. It was a good set up. I spent the day yesterday choreographing more care for my dad and setting up appointments to orchestrate even more care. My mom has about had it. My dad is depressed and crabby with her. My heart is breaking.
The contradiction in every part of this is so difficult. How can you feel opposite things at the same time, but I do. It sucks. Jeff has been my rock this weekend, even from afar. It is helping me not to unravel completely.
AND?? I go back to work next week. I kind of want to run away.
The End of Summer–Already.
On the Eve of a New Semester
I didn't feel like I could use the same title for this post as I did on the last one–even if it is true. Students begin in two weeks, and I have been going in to work almost daily for over a week now. I am still on summer time, schedule-wise, but I am beginning to get serious about plunging into work again. I haven't written here at all this summer, and I regret that, however, I have been writing in my notebook which has been really nice. No censor necessary, just me and my idiosyncrasies. When Lizardek (Happy birthday to you Liz!) posted that she created a new category for defunct blogs called "You Never Write, You Never Call" I got scared that I would be banished from her "inner orbit." I made the decision that I had better write a post. Even a bad one is better than none!
So, that PERFECT schedule last semester opened up time when I could do all the other CRAZY stuff that happened outside of my teaching responsibilities. I think I worked harder last semester than when I had 18 credits in the fall. When I was finally done teaching for the summer, my summer class began…which was HARD. It was called "Advanced Writing" and was instruction on how to write a scholarly journal article. It ate me alive, that class did. I also took my favorite Literacy Institute this summer, but still…that was another class. By the time I actually had time to unwind it was August. Don't worry. I did take some time. I read several books:
A House in the Sky by Amanda Lindhout
This book is still with me. I can't really stop thinking about it. I love the writing and although it has two specific parts that are haunting, I am aware that it could have been written with many more details of torture and horror. I appreciate that it wasn't, because I don't know if I would have kept reading. This book narrates Amanda Lindhout's experience being kidnapped and held captive for 18 months (give or take) in Somalia. It is a tough read, but I really liked the book. I also would like to read Nigel Brennan's book The Price of Life. He was kidnapped with Amanda.
The Terrorist's Son by Zak Ebrahim
I bought this book because of Mr. Ebrahim's TED Talk. I wanted to know more. It was a short, simple book. I thought it was interesting, and I got what I wanted out of it. I loved his message, and I was happy that his life has been well lived.
The Burgess Boys by Elizabeth Strout
I was obsessed with this one! I loved it. I love Elizabeth Strout. This book is another master of characterization–with all the characters. It also dips briefly into the Somali community and the perspective of an immigrant. It was excellent. I am also still thinking about this book. I love how Elizabeth Strout can describe characters so well, and so honestly that you see yourself in them. Sometimes a not-so-good look at who you are, and that makes you think about how to make yourself better. Her words are powerful.
A Curious Mind by Brian Grazer
I read this one with a class in mind, but it was pretty good just for me. I decided against using it in my class mostly because of the hard cover, $25 status. I can't really ask my students to pay that much for a book in addition to their text book. Especially one that is not *perfect.* I liked the premise and I thought it would be an engaging read for my students. Being curious is a wonderful concept, and one that is not encouraged even if it should be encouraged. There were many interesting parts, but there were also many "name dropping" parts. Brian Grazer is a movie producer who partners with Ron Howard. He is an interesting person, and has interesting stories, but he also likes to tell about all the famous people he is around and how great his movies are. And, they are great movies. And, he does rub elbows with many famous people. But it got over-bearing at times. I loved his concept of "curiosity meetings" with a diverse crowd of people. The list of people he has interviewed, just because he was curious about them and to learn something from them is astounding. I wanted more stories from his interviews, but it was not the premise of the book. He wants EVERYONE to be curious and to live curiously. As I have said, I like that premise. I enjoyed the book. Maybe when it is out in paperback I will revisit this one for a class.
My current read was suggested by our CTL leader (staff developer). It is called Make it Stick by Peter Brown, Henry Roediger III, and Mark McDaniel. It details "The Science of Successful Learning." So far I am on chapter 2, and it is fantastic. I can't wait to think about my classes and how to integrate some of these strategies this semester! I also have two more books I want to read: Making Thinking Visible and Discussion in the College Classroom. I don't think I will have time, but who knows. I have a new English class that I am taking that begins August 21, I am sure all of my reading will be for that class! Composition Pedagogy is the class….I am scared. It is with the same instructor that I had this summer, so I know it will be…a….challenge.
I am sad that I didn't read what was originally on my list for this summer: College Fear Factor, and How Children Succeed. I have had these books for a year now, and I know they would inform my teaching. ACK! TIME!
As far as family time, we did take a trip to the Black Hills right when the kids got out of school, like the day they got out of school. It was such a fun trip! It would have been even better if I was not in the middle of my HARD class at the time. I spent late nights in a chair in the hotel hallway reading articles and writing. But during the day we saw Mt. Rushmore, did a cave tour, drove through Custer State Park (and saw Buffalo–babies too!), toured a real archeological dig sight for Mammoths, and MORE! It was busy and fun. Then, for the rest of the summer, of course there was hockey, softball, tennis, baseball, golf, dance, and plays. I should get paid for my taxi driving.
OOOO. And! I got a new car! Well, a new, old car. Jeff bought a used van about 18 months ago, and he bought a brand-spankin' new van last month–so I got the other one! I am so happy to have air conditioning again! Woot! I feel very fancy in it as well. Oh, and safe. My old van was almost 12 years old and had housed babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary school children. In a word, it was trashed. I still miss it though. I am not used to the other one. We are going to donate the old one to some mechanics' school. They will have a lot of practice with that van, I tell you. Still, I am sad to see it go. My kids grew up in that thing. Not that I would choose to drive THAT instead of my new one! Um. No.
I am not at all ready to go back to work on their schedule. I am loving working on my own. I know it will be here in a blink of an eye, so I guess I will take some time now to read my book, and pretend it is still July.
See? This is nice. I have missed this dusty blog. xo
On the Eve of a New Semester
I have been on pins and needles my whole "break" because one of my classes…the SIX credit one…has not filled. My dean tried to cancel it during one of my finals before "break" but the chair of my department interceded in my behalf, and continued to intercede. On Tuesday, he decided NOT to cancel it even though I only had 4 people enrolled in the course. (Now it has NINE.) Whew! I also found out on Tuesday that I would NOT have to teach a night class that I really didn't want to teach, but was slotted for because of factors beyond my control. So win-win-win! It is a gift to have this schedule. It is what I wanted and I can't believe that it worked out. The first blessing of the New Year!
That being said, because I was in limbo (which is a GREAT excuse, by the way) I haven't really done much planning for this brand new semester. As in, I haven't really revamped anything. And, I am very uninspired right now. Mostly I am tired. I feel like I have been running around non-stop for a month. I have done some things that were for me. I have done a lot of running for my kids and Christmas. I really want some time in my house alone! To play, to work, to get the house in order. The best part is I may get to have some of that this semester if I play my cards right! Woot! I also may have time to write a little bit! It would be fun to do some more blogging again.
So, tomorrow I begin again. I have a list of what I need to do in the morning. My babysitter is putting Katie and Nicholas on the bus so I can go in early. My hope is that it is a peaceful and happy day! Both for me and for YOU!
Ten days in
I was listening to the radio while playing taxi-driver this morning, and between all of the analysis about terrorism, somebody said the date in that official reporter voice, "Today is January 10th, 2015." And I thought, "Has it been TEN days since New Year's already? How can that be?"
It feels like I am in constant motion, like it has been one L-O-N-G day since January first. So much thinking about a new start to the semester, what classes I will be teaching, what my schedule will be, how to get my house back in order before the students parade into my life.
Not being tethered to grading has felt light and free, I have read some for pleasure, some for work, but I have read very little student work since posting grades on December 23. I have been working with Katie and Nicholas for their play. Working lines with them every day due to Influenza A. The play was originally set for December 19, but so many kids were sick, they postponed it until after winter break. Therefore, I became a director for two weeks. Thank goodness, the play was on Thursday night! It was cute and they did great, but I am so glad that it is OVER. And a little sad, too. It was their last play in Elementary School.
I am getting off track, as I seem to do a lot. I wanted to come here and talk about how Ten days feels so fast and sounds like such a long time. And, how beginning the year this year with violence sucks. I feel so many things about this attack at Charlie Hebdo and at the Kosher Deli in Paris. The overwhelming feeling is sadness. I am just so sad about it. Sad for the victims. Sad for their coworkers. Sad for their families. Sad for France. Sad for the innocent Muslim people that will feel the backlash of racism. Sad for the human race.
I am listening to how the news and the media are handling this "breaking news" and it is predictable. Outrage. Vengeance. Spin. It is easy to nod along with some reporters. I was listening to the TV last night, and I think it was CNN, but I can't be certain. They were comparing the cartoons of Charlie Hebdo that made fun of Islam with what has been said to make fun of the Catholic Church. Their take away was that Catholics don't storm places of business and shoot people because they make fun of the Pope.
Effective, isn't it? To group all Muslims together as crazy fundamentalists because look how normal the Catholic Church is? They don't get all bent out of shape at a joke, right? What is wrong with those people?
It is easy to nod along, until you begin thinking. Wait a minute. The Catholic Church has its fair share of scandal. But we are unwilling to call all Catholics crazy pediphiles. We are also unwilling to profile kids who gun down their classmates. Or enter schools in general to kill students…even seven year old students.
We have a problem in the world. Violence. The other problem is that violence is seen as a solution. We, as people, always want to explain why something bad happens, and for some reason this need to explain ends up creating more problems. It is the fuel to the fire. It puts us in a catch 22. The more we blatantly blame groups of innocent people for the crimes of a few, the more those innocent people think that maybe those fundamentalist are right. Maybe all of this "westernization" is evil. And then we have more people willing to be recruited into the fundamentalist movement.
The more I think about it, the more sad I become. I offer no answers. I just wish that we didn't have this in the world. I am sending healing prayers to all the families who have lost loved ones. I am holding peace in my heart and hope. I have many Muslim students. They are just as wonderful as my African American students. And my White students, and my Asian students. I am holding them close to my heart after this because their lives just got complicated again….or still.
I hope after another TEN days we can be in a more peaceful place, although it doesn't look promising. I guess that is the definition of hope, isn't it?
Happy New Year!
We have had such a lovely day today.
There was:
- staying in our pajamas much longer than is appropriate
- a parade, with beautiful floats, and NO commercials
- knitting
- watching the U of M play in the Citrus Bowl (and lose…boo)
- skating at the park for all but me (our rink is not ready yet…but soon!)
- (because I was…) cooking… a lot of cooking
- watching The Winter Classic (hockey, of course!)
- party mix and other various junk food to consume
- gnocchi with our favorite sauce and meatballs…all made from scratch
- a fire in the fire place
- playing the new Monopoly game: Monopoly Empire (SO much better than the original!)
- And there were s'mores with roasted marshmallows.
There are also other things that are making me worry, but I am doing my best to breathe. This is all job related, of course. I am uncertain of my course load at the moment. I also have a student who wants to meet with me next week, which is troubling. I think something is up, but I am not sure what. I hate feeling unprepared when walking into a meeting. And, I haven't begun my course planning. There. It is all out there now. (Not to mention taking Christmas down, and LAUNDRY…)
I am choosing to focus on my lovely start to the New Year. If everyday can feel this productive and fulfilling, I will be living a good life.
Happy New Year, everyone!
The end of the year
I received my wordpress email yesterday where they crunch all of the numbers from the stats of this poor, neglected blog. I learned that I wrote 10 (ten) blog posts in 2014. Five (5) of which were in one week in June. I decided to make it eleven (11) today.
As I look out my window at the snow covered roof of my neighbor's house, the trees all bare skeletons, the sun dappled through the branches, I am searching for words. This year has had many ups and downs, just like every year. But all of it is in the details. The moments that speed by and often go unnoticed, or are forgotten, ignored, pushed aside. The moment when I watch my father struggling to get into the front seat of my mother's car on Christmas eve. The moment when Nicholas skates ahead of all his teammates to rush on the goalie from "coast to coast." The moment when Sarah walks up to receive her award for academic excellence. The moment when Katie sings, by herself, when she thinks nobody is listening and I am shocked by the beauty of her voice. The moment when Jeff lets his guard down and I can see the boy that I fell in love with so many years ago.
That is what I love about reading blogs. I love witnessing other people's moments. I love to wander around in the perspective of people I admire. I love seeing the beauty in their lives, whether it be heartbreak, elation, or hum-drum-everyday routine. I also love writing about the details. Remembering to be present enough to notice the details. Showing up at a blank screen and choosing words that will attempt to recreate those moments, for readers, but also for me when I scroll back and look at the moments of my life that are here.
This year. Well. This year. Writing was not a priority, obviously. But I am okay with that. I did other things. I finished my College Reading and Learning Certificate out of Cal State, while teaching full time and parenting three kids. I helped move my parents into assisted living. I cleaned out my own basement and main level…decluttered, threw a lot away, rearranged. I wrote curriculum for a brand-spankin'-new course that I piloted this past semester. I chauffeured children hither and yon, spending more time in my car than I care to think about. I read a lot of articles, chapters and books. I taught 18 credits worth of reading this fall. I fed my family…reluctantly cooking dinner most nights. I won an award for excellence in teaching from my colleagues. (One of three people in my college.) I did a little laundry every once in a while. I took a fabulous class called "The Magic of Myth" from Elizabeth. I graded thousands of papers. I took Nicholas to a hockey tournament in Duluth, just he and I made the trip.
Basically, I showed up for my life. I just didn't write it down. In retrospect, I wish I had the time to sit and reflect on all the moments. They deserve to be preserved. However, I refuse to let guilt creep in here. I did all I could. And sometimes watching Scandal is more cathartic than writing a blog post. It is what I needed to do at the time. Maybe in 2015 things will fall into place so I can write more. There is a possibility of that, but I won't know until the new semester begins. My tummy is tumbling because of the uncertainty right now, but I am trying to accept any outcome, while hoping for the one I want!
Tomorrow we have the privilege of getting a whole new year. We get to begin again. Start over. Keep on, keeping on. My wish for you…if I even have any readers left out there…is to see the opportunities and choose to be happy. Choose things that bring you joy, and choose the tribulations that are worth traveling through in order to find that joy again. Sending love out there as we say good bye to 2014 and begin anew with 2015. xo
Dark day
Water pelting
the roof, the umbrella, my head
Blinding in the dark
across the horizon, across black skies, across the insides of my eyelids
Rumbling, growling
Building the crescendo
until CRACK it makes you jump
Better to stay in bed.

Give Peace a Chance: How Considering Peace Process Obligations Would Have Improved the Rulings of the International Court of Justice and the Israeli Supreme Court on the Israeli Security Barrier
Martel, Charles F., Duke Journal of Comparative & International Law
"The armed conflict has left many dead and wounded.... Bereavement and pain wash over us."
--Aharon Barak, President, Supreme Court of Israel, from Beit Sourik Village Council v. Government of Israel (1)
"I agree with almost all of what the Court has written.... My regrets are rather about what it has chosen not to write."
--Judge Rosalyn Higgins, International Court of Justice, from Legal Consequences of the Construction of a Wall in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, Advisory Opinion (2)
The remarks of President Barak and Judge Higgins reflect that much was at stake when the Supreme Court of Israel (Israeli Court) and International Court of Justice (ICJ) considered the Israeli separation barrier. (3) In Beit Sourik Village Council v. Israel, the Israeli Court gave qualified approval to barrier construction in the occupied West Bank, but ordered the government to reroute barrier segments that caused disproportionate harm to Palestinians. (4) The ICJ Advisory Opinion more broadly held that the entire West Bank barrier route violates international law. (5)
This Article proposes an alternative analysis based on Israeli-Palestinian peace process agreements. The thesis is that the agreements provide a more precise framework of legal obligations for analyzing the barrier, and would more effectively promote peace than the approach in either decision.
To paraphrase Judge Higgins, the agreements fill in what the courts "chose not to write." (6) The Israeli Court failed to consider the barrier as part of Israel's illegal settlement policy in occupied territory. As a result, Beit Sourik wrongly allows a route that perpetuates Israeli possession of occupied territory. The ICJ dismissed Israeli security, and failed to consider that Palestinian failure to stop illegal terrorism led to Israel's erection of the barrier. As a result, the Advisory Opinion wrongly ignores Palestinian legal responsibilities and imposes obligations only on Israel.
An agreement-based framework directly addresses these issues by properly treating the barrier as the result of illegalities on both sides. The analysis affirms Israel's right to defend its citizens, including settlers. However, barrier routes that perpetuate illegal Israeli possession of contested territory would be prohibited.
Part I describes the barrier and summarizes the decisions. Part II analyzes the decisions' impact, showing that while the law now factors in the barrier route, the decisions have not effectively addressed issues central to the barrier, and the larger conflict of which the barrier is part. Part III offers an agreement-based framework and critique of the decisions, comparing peace process obligations with sources of international law that impose similar responsibilities illustrating that the framework is legally correct and would better promote peace. (7)
A final introductory note is that the decisions reflect the courts' different roles. (8) The ICJ is an international court and responded to the request of the United Nations General Assembly for a nonbinding advisory opinion on the entire barrier route. (9) By contrast, the Israeli Court bore the constraints of a domestic court, making a binding ruling with national security implications on a small section of the barrier. (10) It has been observed that the Israeli Court's restraint on security issues contributes to its important ongoing authority in Israeli society. (11) Some have concluded that the Israeli Court's decision on the barrier was a continuation of this and that Belt Sourik was a more pragmatic, effective ruling than the broader Advisory Opinion. (12) Ultimately, because pending Israeli Court cases call for reconsideration of the barrier's legality, the framework proposed here is offered not just as a critique of past decisions but as a suggestion for future ones.

THE contest for responsible government reached its climax in Canada. For many reasons its fate there was epochal for the whole Empire. Durham, in despair of a larger federal union, had recommended the fusion of the two Canadas, so that in sheer size and population the united province dwarfed all the others. At the close of Elgin's administration there were well over two millions of people in an area which Chief Justice Draper, a few years later, sought to extend to the Pacific. The issues, too, in Canada were beyond all comparison imperative. Whatever the Papineau and Mackenzie risings may have done or failed to do, they forced the problem of colonial government in its real proportions upon the best attention of the British Cabinet. A correspondent under Elgin once wrote that ' Canada ought to be experimentum crucis of all Governors. After governing Canada they can govern any country'.1 The Colonial Office, tenanted, as Buller satirically pointed out, by nearly a dozen Secretaries in as many years, now demanded first- rate ability. Three Colonial Secretaries within ten years eventually reached the premiership, and some of the men sent to Canada were without exception the ablest who ever left Britain on such a mission.
On both sides of the Atlantic the effect of Durham's Report was dynamic--second only to the cogency of the events themselves. The interpretations put upon it varied with the political exigencies of the interpreters. To the colonial Tory it was, of course, anathema, and the attack upon it by the Select Committee of the Upper Canadian Legislative Council is classic.2 Sir George Arthur, who reflected their views, regarded it as 'the worst evil that has yet befallen Upper Canada'.3 Reformers, on the other hand, in Canada as in Nova Scotia, made it their gospel. Hincks, whose steadfast legend for the Examiner had been 'Responsible Government', always maintained that their programme was implicit in the____________________

The global aim of this study is to evaluate an "integrated" treatment approach for cocaine dependent patients with comorbid unipolar depression. It is hypothesized that a cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy that targets both disorders, in combination with a pharmacotherapy, i.e., bupropion, is expected to provide the best coverage for dual disorders and thus maximize treatment outcomes. Specifically, we will conduct a double blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving the random assignment of participants into one of four treatment conditions according to a full 2x2 factorial research design. One independent variable will be pharmacotherapy (bupropion versus placebo); the other independent variable will be psychotherapy (integrated CBT versus clinical management). The study will enroll 140 cocaine dependent patients with comorbid major depressive disorder. A secondary objective is to further elucidate "primary" and "secondary" paradigms of depressive illness symptoms in cocaine-dependent adults and better understand how this distinction influences treatment outcome. This will be accomplished by enrolling a subsample of patients with substance-induced mood disorder. Taken together, this proposal will examine the feasibility and relative efficacy of a novel integrated treatment model for dually-diagnosed patients.

India's premier on Wednesday said the country's economy could return to high growth rates as he urged the nation's top industrialists to "keep the faith".
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh promised the Confederation of Indian Industry more economic reforms on top of earlier steps to open up sectors including retail and aviation to foreign investment and ease India's infamous red tape.
The Congress-led government is accelerating implementation of long-stalled power, road, railway and other infrastructure projects to remove stumbling blocks to growth, Singh said.
"We grew at an average of about eight percent in the last 10 years and we can get there again," he said in a wide-ranging speech to business chiefs in New Delhi.
The current annual growth rate is five percent and the government is struggling to jumpstart the economy before it faces voters in 2014 polls.
It is also seeking to get the business community on side after its vocal criticism of years of policy paralysis and scandals.
Singh appealed to industrialists to "keep the faith and partner with government" to return India to stronger growth.
India's economy has been stumbling, with industrial production slowing sharply -- highlighted by monthly car sales in February which plunged by 26 percent year-on-year, the lowest pace of growth in 12 years.
India is taking steps to reduce its budget deficit and improve its overall government finances, whose stretched state has triggered warnings from global ratings agencies of a possible credit rating downgrade, he said.
But Singh warned that the current account deficit -- the broadest measure of trade representing the gap between the inflow and outflow of foreign currency -- would be "higher than normal for the next few years" due to weak export markets.
The current account deficit was likely to be 5.0 percent of gross domestic product for the current year, "twice the traditional comfort level", he noted.
"I believe a well-managed Indian economy, seen to be back on a high-growth path, can attract continuing capital flows," he said.

Sending all iPhone calls to voicemail
Ask iLounge offers readers the opportunity to get answers to their iPod-, iPhone-, iPad-, iTunes-, or Apple TV-related questions from a member of the iLounge editorial team. We'll answer several questions here each week, and of course, you can always get help with more immediate concerns from the iLounge Discussion Forums. Submit your questions for consideration using our Ask iLounge Submit Form. We reserve the right to edit questions for grammar, spelling, and length.
Q: I'm wondering if there is a way to direct all of my calls to my voicemail without actually having to turn on Airplane Mode? I know there's a "Do Not Disturb" feature on the new iPhones, but as I understand it, that will also silence all of my other alarms and notifications for things like text messages. I still want to be able to receive text messages, but I'd like to sometimes be able to ignore incoming calls at times when I'm really busy. Any suggestions would be a big help. Thanks!
- Emily
A: While there's no built-in iOS feature to do this specifically, you can actually just use the standard Call Forwarding feature found on the iPhone and forward your calls directly to your voicemail number.
Voicemail on a mobile phone actually works by using a standard GSM feature known as no-answer/busy forwarding. This is a form of call forwarding that only applies when you don't answer the phone or it's busy or out of coverage. When you subscribe to voicemail from your carrier, this feature is automatically enabled to send the calls to the specific number for the carrier's voicemail service.
However, you can just as easily forward ALL of your calls to this number using the standard iPhone Call Forwarding feature. This will result in every call going straight to your voicemail, rather than only those calls you don't or can't answer.
The catch of course is finding the number for your carrier's voicemail, as it's not something most carrier's normally publish, and in fact most carriers often have multiple numbers, assigned to different geographic areas. The good news, however, is that on most GSM networks you can actually send a special query code to the cellular network to check the status of your call forwarding settings; to do this, simply go into the Phone app, and dial *#67# and tap the "Call" button.
You will see a status screen that should include a forwarding number listed for at least one of the "no answer" or "busy" transfer entries. This number is where your unanswered/busy calls get forwarded.
Write down this number and then go into your iPhone Settings app and select Phone, Call Forwarding, toggle on the call forwarding feature, and enter it as the number that you want to forward your calls to when prompted.
Once you've turned this on, a status indicator will appear at the top of the iPhone screen to indicate that Call Forwarding is enabled, and incoming calls will be sent directly to your voicemail without ringing your iPhone at all.
Since you're only forwarding incoming calls, however, you'll still be able to continue to use data service, receive text messages, and even place outgoing calls. When you want to begin receiving incoming calls again, simply toggle OFF the Call Forwarding option in your Settings app.
As an added bonus, the iPhone saves the last call forwarding number that you used, even after you turn call forwarding off, so you can easily re-enable this any time without needing to worry about entering the number again—simply toggle call forwarding back ON and it will use the same number you were forwarding to before. Should you wish to forward your calls elsewhere, you can still change the number once you've toggled on call forwarding simply by tapping on it and entering a new one.
Be aware that this may not work on all carriers. Although we've confirmed that it works on all of the major Canadian carriers as well as AT&T in the U.S., non-GSM carriers such as Verizon and Sprint use different methods for handling voicemail. It is also possible, although unlikely, that some foreign GSM carriers may use non-standard GSM feature codes or have these specific codes disabled for some reason.

Regarding GSM codes, they should work on all GSM networks as they are universal codes. The only place it may not work is on some prepaid networks. Some prepaid offerings on GSM networks do not allow modification for forwarding and other GSM options.

Posted by Jesse Hollington in Toronto on February 21, 2013 at 1:26 PM (CST)
My iphone 5 is default forwarding all calls without ringing to voicemail. I cancel the fwd—repeatedly—(##002# on call pad) and after at most one call it defaults back to fwd option. A pain. Any idea about any other workaround how to turn off this voicemail fwding function?

Deputies say they received a tip that 34-year-old Joel Collins had illegal drugs at his home on the 400 block of Beulah Church Road.
TCSO says part of Collins' probation included the clause that law enforcement could search his home at any time, but if Collins was trying to hide his drugs, he did a pretty bad job of it.
Cmmdr. Kevin Lee of Thomas County Narcotics says when the drug squad "executed the search clause in [Collins'] bedroom ... [they] found a poker chip box that had his initials on it and ... also found inside the box 2 cellophane wraps containing methamphetamine."
Deputies say the drug is quickly becoming an even bigger problem, thanks to new equipment that allows addicts to make small quantities of meth at home.

Our beautiful seas and oceans cover about 70% of our planet's surface, with far more species living in the oceans than on land. The marine environment provides livelihoods and food for hundreds of millions of people, so it is important that we protect it. Yet, right now, millions of animals, including whales, seals, turtles and birds are being mutilated and killed by 'ghost' fishing gear - nets, lines and traps that are abandoned, lost or discarded.
Home of the rodeo and rock 'n' roll, texmex and tejano, Buddy Holly and Beyoncé; it's no surprise that Texas is full of force. Its variety contributes to its world renown; whether inspiring city arts movements or tranquil coastlines picking up surfers from shore to shore, delicate seafood dishes or hearty home grown chilli, Texas has a range of scenes all of which pack as much punch as the next.
This is a recipe that makes a small amount of crab meat go a long way. The addition of the tomatoes and courgettes makes the flavor much sweeter and really brings out the taste of fresh crab meat. If you can get hold of a crab and cook it yourself then the result will be much better but you can get a good result with picked pasteurised crab meat.

Do you like autumn? Here in Whistler we like autumn. It's a time for relaxation and anticipation, for watching the snow line creep down the mountains while eating cheap food and playing video games or reading French authors.

The year is 1984. I am seven years old and clutching a pillow case. I have way too much make-up on and the sweat beading on my forehead has started to make it run. Feverishly I scan the row of houses to see if any lights are still on. There! Four houses down and on the right, I spot them – burning yellow eyes. I run.

Animated .gifs don't make animated cursors. They have to be converted to .ani files. However, only Internet Explorer will support .ani files right now, I believe (not sure about Chrome). Conversely, Internet Explorer doesn't support .gif cursors. It only supports .cur and .ani.
ETA: As far as I can tell, Chrome does not support .ani files either.
I don't recommend it, but you'll need to find software that converts .gifs to .anis. I doubt you can upload .anis to standard image hosting sites, so you'll need to upload it to your own hosting as well.
You could try:
cursor: url('cursor.ani'), url('cursor.gif'), crosshair;
but I'm not sure if that will work. My theory is Firefox etc. will ignore the .ani and use the .gif, but it's only a theory.

Chasing its first boys basketball sectional title in 14 years, Indian Creek came up just short against Tri-West on Saturday night.
Trailing the Braves by one point midway through the fourth quarter, Tri-West closed the game with a 19-8 run to win the Class 3A Beech Grove sectional championship game, 58-48.
After senior Brett DeHart scored in the lane to put Indian Creek up 40-39, Nick Sprecher answered immediately, getting fouled while scoring at the rim. His free throw put Tri-West up, 42-40.
A Cameron Smith free throw at the 4:39 mark trimmed the lead to 42-41.
From there, it was all about the Tri-West defense and Trevor Waite.
The Bruins (15-7) held Indian Creek without a field goal for nearly five minutes while Waite scored 15 of the next 16 Bruin points.
First, the junior guard sliced through the Braves defense to score at the rim on consecutive possessions. Then, with Indian Creek forced to foul, he knocked down 11 of 12 free throws over the final 1:58 to put the game away.
Despite the loss, Indian Creek coach Derek Perry was happy with how the Braves fought.
"I was proud of their effort," Perry said. "They brought the intensity. We just came up short. We withstood their early surge. We just couldn't withstand their second one."
The game in some ways mirrored the Braves' season.
After losing six of their first seven contests, Perry's young squad found its footing in January, eventually winning eight of 10 going into Saturday's game.
Perry said that resilience made this a memorable season.
"These kids all year have clawed back. They went from 1-6 to winning seven straight in the conference. They captured a share of the conference championship, which we hadn't done for six years. And it had been 14 years since we had even made it to a sectional championship game," Perry said.
"The hand we were dealt early on, and how we finished the season, it was pretty special."
After trailing by as many as eight points in the first half, Indian Creek (11-11) battled back in the third quarter.
Sophomore Gynson Robley missed a long 3-pointer with 2:30 remaining in the period. But DeHart grabbed the rebound in traffic and found Robley cutting to the basket, where he laid the ball in as he was fouled. Robley's free throw put the Braves up, 32-31.
Indian Creek stretched the lead to three points twice, but could never make it more than a one-possession game.
Sophomore Cameron Smith led the Braves with 15 points. Senior Austin Smith, who labored with foul trouble all night and fouled out late, added 12 points and grabbed seven rebounds.
Indian Creek hit 17 of 38 field goals (.447), but hurt itself by missing seven of 18 free throws and turning the ball over 13 times.
Brant Gadberry had a game-high 18 points for the Bruins. Waite finished with 17. The Bruins did not shoot well, hitting just 19 of 51 shots (.373), but grabbed 35 rebounds to only 21 for the Braves.
Tri-West will play Guerin Catholic in Saturday's Greencastle Regional.

Men charged in Thanksgiving burglary in Nanticoke
NANTICOKE - While families were gathered for Thanksgiving dinner, police say a pair of burglars targeted homes in Nanticoke, breaking into one to swipe belongings.
They may have gotten away with the heist at 1002 S. Prospect St., but investigators were led to the suspects after hearing a dispute at an apartment down the street, police said.
Upon arrival at 1210-1212 S. Prospect St., police said James T. Novis, 37, and Adam J. Kuren, 28, were overheard arguing with their girlfriends - apparently about how to get rid of stolen goods. The girlfriends allowed investigators inside to recover the stolen items, police said.
Both men face burglary and other charges. They remain in Luzerne County Correctional Facility in lieu of $25,000 bail.

Got these to use in my XT4.5 dob secondary. I'm evaluating now but so far they work better than the metal screws and polyethylene washer. The question is over time will the plastic threads be deformed by the metal receiving threads.
Anyways I got 100 of these, if anyone needs a few and doesn't want to pay the $15 for 100 I will send out a few here or there..

Probably a matter of the amount of torque used on them. Secondary screws are often tightened with quite a bit of force. This might deform the threads over time, but like you said, you have 100 of them, so no big deal.
The question is over time will the plastic threads be deformed by the metal receiving threads.

"NYLON 6/6 POLYAMIDE: General-purpose nylon 6/6 has good toughness, tensile strength, and resistance to creep, particularly in the high temperature range. Nylon has excellent wear properties, low coefficient of friction, and exceptional chemical resistance particularly to aromatic hydrocarbons, greases, and oils. Nylon is a hygroscopic material. Moisture acts as a plasticizer reducing the tensile strength, stuffiness, and increasing elongation, impact strength , and energy absorbing characteristics. Outdoor weathering can be improved by the addition of carbon black. Nylon will perform well in long range service in most applications at temperatures as high as 185° F (85° C). Nylon is a translucent off white color." http://rgafasteners-...n_test_data.pdf
