PHOTOS: GayCities Helps Travel Insiders Celebrate Halloween in True S.F. Style
Nov 01, 2012
On Halloween night, travel industry insiders from all over the country were in San Francisco, celebrating the opening night of Community Marketing, Inc.'s 13th International Conference on Gay & Lesbian Tourism.
CMI's travel conference is taking place these next two days at the Parc 55 Wyndham hotel right near Union Square. Last night's opening night reception was sponsored by La Crema winery and GayCities, and since it coincided with Halloween (and right after the Giants victory parade through downtown), we decide to pump up the spirits in true San Francisco fashion: with costumes, pictures and good times all around!
Check out a sampling of the pictures from the GayCities Halloween photo station, and head over to our Facebook page to see the rest of fun and silly pics.

As you have been told in the previous answers this is bank owned and currently available. If you would like me to send you a brochure on the details of the property, I would be glad to do that. I live in Cooper City and specialize in the Davie / Cooper City area. Let me know if I can be of further help, and if you would like me to send you the brochure of this property or any others.
Best regards,
Stefanie Cohen
Prudential Florida Realty
As the other Angela correctly stated, it is still available as a bank owned foreclosure and is listed at $351,500. The last transaction that took place on this property was just over a year ago (February 2008) when it was sold then at $440,000. It sold one year earlier than that (January 2007) for $720,000! This property is a classic example of the decline in our real estate values at the moment. It's a great opportunity to get 1-1/2 acres in Davie for such a great price. It is also approved for FNMA's Homepath Renovation Mortgage financing program whereby you only need 3% down.
I hope this helped and if you would like more information or would like to see the property, just let me know, I'd be happy to help!
Have a great Easter!

Pardew issues Cabaye warning to Arsenal: It's time to put up or shut up
Alan Pardew ordered Arsenal to put up or shut up over their pursuit of Yohan Cabaye after seeing Newcastle snatch a dramatic victory over Fulham.
The 27-year-old France midfielder was introduced to a mixed reaction from the club's fans as a 65th-minute substitute in this afternoon's 1-0 Barclays Premier League win.
Crunch time: Fulham's Matthew Briggs tackles Yohan Cabaye
Compatriot Hatem Ben Arfa proved the match-winner, but Cabaye's future remained one of the main talking points after the final whistle with Monday night's transfer deadline fast approaching and no second bid from the Gunners having yet materialised.
Asked if the former Lille midfielder Pardew had played his last game for the club, said: 'I don't know until 11pm [on Monday].
'We have told his agent, "Look, come on, play the game", because we have got to replace him [if we sell him] and we can't afford to replace him before he goes because we're not sure he is going to go.
'That bid needs to come in, if it's coming in, early. If not, it won't happen - well, I think it won't happen, but you can never tell with this football club.
On the slide: Cabaye (left) tackles Fulham's Alex Kacaniklic
'We have got replacements in mind, but we need to act quickly if that bid comes in.
'We still hope to get an offensive player in before 11pm [on Monday] and we are working towards that.'
Both the Cabaye saga and Newcastle's search for reinforcements are ongoing, but thankfully for the club, their wait for a home win in the league is not after it came to an end at the fifth attempt.
It did so in fitting style with Ben Arfa's superb 86th-minute strike, the Magpies' first league goal in 411 minutes of football, worthy of winning any game.
Pardew said: 'The goal came from Hatem and I was pulling my hair out today with him. He was making bad decisions in terms of his selection of pass, he was not really doing what we want him to do in that wide area.
Brothers in arms: Alan Pardew prepares to send on Newcastle's French midfielder Cabaye
'And then he created three or four moments in the game that can change it, a couple of balls he slid across and we didn't connect with, and then the goal was fantastic.
'That's Hatem. He makes us slightly dysfunctional at times, but he can win us a game at any level and he did that today.'
The goal had been coming, but until it arrived, it looked like being another frustrating afternoon for Pardew and his players.
Fulham keeper David Stockdale had denied both Mathieu Debuchy and Papiss Cisse before the break, and Cisse saw a 78th-minute header come back off the bar before substitute Yoan Gouffran glanced wide with the goal at his mercy.
Golden wonder: Hatem Ben Arfa, (right) produced a moment of magic to beat Fulham
However, Ben Arfa's left-foot bullet after he jinked between John Arne Riise and Alex Kacaniklic sparked a late onslaught during which Stockdale denied both Debuchy and debutant Loic Remy.
Pardew said: 'A lot has been written and some of it has actually not been correct.
'But actually at the end of the day, it's results you need, it backs it up. We have won today, we won in midweek with a few of our squad players and it's been a good week for us.
'If we can get through Monday by improving the team again, whichever way it comes, then we will be in good shape.'
Frustration: Martin Jol leave St James' Park empty handed again
Fulham boss Martin Jol left St James' Park as he did last season ruing a late goal and insisting his team had deserved at least a point.
He said: 'We could have done a lot of damage today and got the points on the board.
'If you look at the possession, we could get out of their pressure. It was almost too easy.
'Last year it was the same, they scored one goal and they are over the moon as if they played great. But they didn't. We should have had at least a point.'

Even though school is out for the summer in Scott County, children can still stop by Scottsburg High School and the Scott County YMCA for a free, healthy lunch.
When Coach Brent Jameson thinks of Scottsburg High School's boys varsity basketball program, he sees a program steeped in tradition and a program whose players give it their all.
On Saturday, Megan Coleman was one of nearly 200 students who graduated from Scottsburg High School. However, this day almost did not come without her sheer determination to earn her high school diploma and the encouragement of the faculty and staff of SHS.
With earning more than $3 million in scholarships, this year's graduating class at Scottsburg High School can focus on what matters after graduation — their military careers and their college education — and not the price tag.
Sometimes the little, gradual changes you make in your life make the significant impact. For Nick South, his decision to look for a summer job after the birth of his first child and while his wife was finishing her teaching degree would be one of those changes.
Scottsburg High School was one of three schools in the state to place in three or more subjects areas at the 30th Annual Indiana Academic Super Bowl Area Competition, and for the fifth year in a row, the SHS Academic Team earned a state championship.
Not only does Christine VonDissen help everyday items go through a process of renewal through her recycling program at Scottsburg Middle School, she also helps people go through a process of a renewal, caring for each one along the way.
After three decades, Jamie Lowry has come full circle.

I want to make a div that is full width on the page. It's a container. Then I want to fill it in with divs, and width of each div is 50*n, where n is a randomly generated number. Assume I have a container div with width of 1240px. Now I run a JS function that fills it with e.g. 10 divs with different widths. Now if I sum up all inner divs widths, I get 1240px.
This way I always know that when I run filling function, I get a collection of divs that altogether always are 1240px. Number of divs shouldn't be a fixed number, so there can be 4 or 7 divs. The number of divs amount is generated randomly. Then, if there is some space left, for 1240 px this number is 40px I suppose, it is filled with some dummy div that doesn't have to be of 50*n width.
I have created a function but it doesn't always work as supposed to.
function generateItems() {
originalwidth = $(document).width() - 40;
var fullwidth = 0;
var counter = 0;
var randomnumber = 1 + Math.floor(Math.random() * 4);
tempwidth = 50 * randomnumber;
fullwidth += tempwidth;
if (fullwidth > originalwidth) {
$('#questions').append('
' + (originalwidth - fullwidth) + '
');
width_padding = tempwidth;
$('#questions').append('
' + width_padding + '
');
while (true);
I am not even sure it's a good way I have chosen to solve such a task. Please share your thoughts on how to better do this.

Myths And Legends Of The Celtic Raceby T. W. Rolleston
View All Available Formats & Editions
Thomas William Hazen Rolleston (1857-1920) was an Irish writer, literary figure and translator known for works that spanned a wide range of literary and political topics. He wrote "Myths and Legends of the Celtic Race" in 1911 in an attempt to revitalize what he felt was a waning appreciation for the heritage of all Celtic peoples. Perhaps the best representation and description of all the legends, myths and spiritual histories of Ireland, Britain and Wales, this collection includes the stories of Ultonian and Ossianic cycles, the voyage of Maeldum, and the myths and tales of the Cymry (Welsh). Rolleston also provides the fantastic narratives of Cuchulain, King Arthur, Deirdre, the Grail, and many more. For anyone wishing to learn about the Celtic peoples, their culture, legends, religion, and their influence on the development of Western civilization, these legendary tales are an essential addition to your library.

By David Keene - 12/04/07 05:58 PM EST
The timing of Sen. Trent Lott's (R-Miss.) decision to pack it in after 34 years in the House and Senate came as something of a surprise to many of his colleagues, but everyone who knows Lott appreciates the reasons behind the decision.
He seriously considered retiring in 2006, but bowed to pressure from his Senate colleagues who didn't want yet another GOP seat up for grabs at a time when campaign resources were stretched thin. It turned out to be the right decision, as in less than a year he emerged from the shadows to reclaim the No. 2 leadership job in the Senate.
Having proved all he wanted to prove, however, and hurting financially both as a result of a lifetime of public service and Hurricane Katrina, which destroyed his own home as it devastated the Mississippi coast, Lott decided it was time to move on. His seat appears safe, as whoever Gov. Haley Barbour (R) appoints will run for the right to finish out Lott's term with the extremely popular Sen. Thad CochranThad CochranOvernight Finance: Senate sends Puerto Rico bill to Obama | Treasury, lawmakers to meet on tax rules | Obama hits Trump on NAFTA | Fed approves most banks' capital plans Senate Appropriations speeds through spending bills Week ahead: Senators face unfinished defense work MORE (R) on the ballot along with a GOP presidential candidate who will be heavily favored to carry the state.
So Lott's timing makes all the sense in the world, though it has created more than a little turmoil within the Senate Republican Conference as his colleagues jockey both for the whip's job and other leadership posts left open as those holding them try to "move up."
It was clear from the moment Lott made his statement that his job would go to Jon Kyl, the Arizona senator who has emerged as perhaps the toughest and most organized conservative within the conference. Kyl as whip working alongside Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnellMitch McConnellSenate Dems: No August break without Zika deal 'Never Trump' plots its last stand Dems leery of Planned Parenthood cuts spark Senate scuffle MORE (Ky.) guarantees Senate Republicans will continue to have the leadership needed to tie up Harry ReidHarry ReidLynch-Clinton meeting creates firestorm The Hill's 12:30 Report Senate Dems: No August break without Zika deal MORE's (D-Nev.) majority.
The more interesting question involves the chairmanship of the Senate Republican Conference, the post Kyl is vacating. Last week the speculation centered around Texas's Kay Bailey Hutchison, the current chairwoman of the Republican Senate Policy Committee; Tennessean Lamar AlexanderLamar AlexanderSenators press Obama education chief on reforms Senate honors Tennessee coach Pat Summitt Bipartisan gun measure survives test vote MORE, who narrowly lost to Lott last year when the Mississippian won the whip's job; and North Carolina's Richard BurrRichard BurrHomeland Security Committee pushes encryption commission in new report Clinton endorses Warner-McCaul encryption commission Lobbying world MORE.
By week's end, however, it appeared that Hutchison was reconsidering as many of her colleagues, while regarding her as extremely able, began expressing concern about her announced intention of leaving the Senate to run for governor. This would, as of this writing at least, leave a contest between Burr and Alexander.
As readers of this column know, I have great respect for Alexander in spite of the fact that prior to his election I'd always considered him more moderate than conservative. In fact, like his fellow Tennessean Bill Timmons, I'd backed his more conservative primary challenger when he first ran.
I still remember a lunch some years ago when Timmons, one of the most knowledgeable conservatives I've ever known, asked me if I could name the one Senate aspirant we'd both been wrong about. The answer was simple: It was Lamar Alexander, who finally found his calling in the Senate and emerged as a serious and conservative legislator. In a sense, he's reminded me of the late Paul Coverdell of Georgia, who came to Washington as the candidate of Georgia's moderates, but served as one of the more thoughtful and effective conservatives any of us had ever met.
Mistaking style for substance, his opponents often underestimate Alexander's toughness. He's soft-spoken, decent and thoughtful, but unbending once he decides he's right. This is something Harry Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) are still learning, as Alexander's refusal to accept their desire to drop language he authored allowing small businesses to require their employees to conduct business in English without fear of harassment from federal bureaucrats taken with political correctness has tied up final passage of the Commerce-Justice-Science appropriations bill.
They no doubt assumed Alexander would back down on what they suspected he had to consider a seemingly minor provision in the bill, but they were wrong. One of the things I admire most about Alexander is his deep understanding of the immigration issue and the need to promote assimilation among all who would become Americans.
Richard Burr is an able conservative with a great future ahead of him, but Alexander's thoughtfulness, his ability to put together bipartisan coalitions to achieve policy goals where possible and to fight on principle when necessary make this conservative hope that after Thursday he will be a part of the Senate Republican leadership team.

Former San Jose skippers Ron Wotus (1991-92) and Bill Hayes (2002) have enjoyed lengthy stints on the San Francisco coaching staff. 2013 will mark Wotus' 16th year on the big league staff as he currently serves as bench coach, while also handling infield defense. Wotus is one of only five individuals since 1900 to serve as a Giants coach for at least 10 years. Hayes has spent the last 10 seasons as San Francisco's bullpen catcher.
Elsewhere, 2010 manager Brian Harper joined the Cubs organization immediately after winning the California League championship with the SJ Giants. He managed Chicago's Class A advanced affiliate Daytona last season and will now serve as Triple-A Iowa's hitting coach this year.
Lenn Sakata and Duane Espy, two of the most successful managers in San Jose Giants history, will continue to work in the Colorado Rockies organization. Sakata returned to the California League last year as he managed the Modesto Nuts to a berth in the Championship Series. San Jose's skipper in 1999, 2001 and 2004-07, Sakata is the winningest manager in California League history. Espy was the first manager in SJ Giants history spending two years with the club in 1988 and 1989. He directed the Rockies' Double-A affiliate Tulsa last season. The Rockies have yet to announce their minor league coaching staffs for the 2013 season.
Other former San Jose managers still in baseball include Frank Cacciatore (1997) as hitting coach of the Double-A Reading Fightin Phils (Phillies system) and Keith Comstock (2000) as Rehabilitation Pitching Coordinator for the Texas Rangers.
In other news, the Augusta GreenJackets (A) announced their 2013 coaching staff today with Steve Kline returning to the team as pitching coach. Kline served as San Jose's pitching coach in 2012.

Medieval Graffiti
Medieval Graffiti – The Lost Voices of England's Churches (2015) by Matthew Champion is the first study of the subject since Violet Pritchard's pioneering work English Medieval Graffiti (1967). Her work was based around Cambridge, where she studied, and Champion admits that his own survey draws much upon his research in East Anglia: he has a blog about his work as the Director of the Norfolk Medieval Graffiti Survey. But he explains there are areas of the country where "nobody has really looked for them yet. They are all out there – just waiting to be discovered after centuries of hiding in the shadows."
These carved or inscribed words or symbols are, as he says, marginal in every sense and have not until recently attracted much attention, This might be due originally to an intellectual disdain for this crude and seemingly casual craft, or to the richness of other forms of art and symbol in our churches demanding higher attention. But there are also practical difficulties in pursuing the study. Much graffiti will only show up in a certain light, or shade, and it is sometimes in furtive, rather inaccessible places.
Even when it is found, it is often difficult to read, if text, or to interpret, if symbol. Champion quotes "a tiny inscription in St Mary's church in Ashwell" (Hertfordshire) which has a clear date, 1381, but goes on to say that whereas "the noted church historian M.R. James" interprets it as referring to the Peasants' Revolt, other authorities think it refers to the exchange of some ploughlands or the completion of the church rebuilding.
However, as the epigraph from M R James (1895) on pg 2 of the book, also quoted by Violet Pritchard, reminds us, 'The more closely we study the remains of early sacred art, the more frequently do we detect the smallest details have a meaning…'. Some scrawlings are of course, as today, the signs of profane amusement by the bored or mischievous. Even games, such as Nine Men's Morris, can be found burrowed into stone or wood. But there is much else that seems to link to folk belief. The majority of this graffiti seems to be apotropaic, that is, intended as a form of protection – if so, a remarkable example of popular magic persisting even within the hallowed walls of the church.
But Champion reminds us that folk ritual was a common part of the year's round in the church – with such customs as blessing the plough, beating the bounds, circling the church, having a liberal mixture of pagan practice within them – so these carved marks are not quite in such a contrast to the sacred services as we might suppose.
I would add to this that ritual marks are also found in historic timber in secular buildings, such as old manor houses, farmhouses, or barns, often carved by carpenters on roof beams or doorways and supposed to be there to ward off evil or to invoke blessings. These, too, have not been significantly studied, apart from one particular monograph, 'Ritual Marks on Historic Timber' by Timothy Easton (Weald and Dowland Open Air Museum Journal, Spring 1999).
Some of the same shapes and signs carved in churches are also found in secular buildings. Crude signs, mostly: M, W, an X between doorposts |X|, which possibly suggests Christ guards the threshold, the Chi-Ro, rarely a Y [Ygdrassil?], these all sometimes so strewn and so slashedly hewn that they might appear casual or accidental, as indeed some people do think they are. Yet there are also more elaborate symbols, clearly marked by intention, such as labyrinths. Sometimes only strong light, chalk or charcoal rubbings fully reveal them. Some are hidden on parts of the timber never usually seen. And what if some were not wards and sealings, but invitations and openings?
Ronald Hutton in The Pagan Religions of the Ancient British Isles (1991) noted that while cave paintings of animals have had a lot of attention, the more numerous geometric symbols have not, because harder to interpret. By analogy with surviving tribal societies, these might be spirit maps of supernatural journeys, he suggests. The same point might be made about these ritual marks. We don't know what they are, what they mean, and so they are left largely unstudied. The larger point is that our understanding of non-textual religion and belief may be seriously skewed. We see it through what we already know: what we don't know may be much more important.

Secret Europe
Secret Europe – a celebration of the cities, landscape and people of the continent, and of our shared history, culture and ideals.
The authors of Secret Europe were inspired by the lives of the many courageous spirits in all parts of the continent who followed their conscience in troubled times: and formed a sort of 'Secret Europe' which tried to preserve the values of our common humanity.
The stories often take place in borderlands, not only in terrain but in time too, and sometimes on the borders of this world and other, mysterious worlds. Many are set during times of upheaval—war, revolution, dictatorship—while others concern more personal upheavals.
Each of the remote and relatively unknown regions is evoked with a fine sense of place, and we share in the lives of authentic characters who are faced with difficult, often dangerous, choices.
Secret Europe - un livre pour notre temps.

Ask Agamemnon
Ask Agamemnon (1964) by Jenni Hall is a Sixties experimental novel about Jacki and Julian, twins, "blond, blue-eyed, eighteen" whose hedonistic lifestyle is interrupted by recurring dream-like scenes of terror. It's a slim literary thriller, a bit Cocteau-ish. "A brilliant little novel, a tale of corruption," said Alan Massie in The Spectator (25 June 2008).
A story about the sleazy underside of Swinging London, it uses the forms of Greek tragedy, but bizarrely the role of the oracle is played by a black teddy bear, named Agamemnon: the French edition (Gallimard, 1967) was entitled L'Ours Qui Savait. The story moves between scenes of sordid realism and the ritual dialogue of the classical drama. The book was filmed as Goodbye Gemini in 1970, and re-issued then with the film title.
The American edition of Ask Agamemnon (Atheneum, 1964) has a note on the author: "Born in 1939 in Bangor, North Wales, Jenni Hall attended language school in Switzerland, secretarial school in London, and art school in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. After working as a secretary and waitress for a year, Miss Hall spent several months painting and travelling. She returned to join the Film Artistes Association, where she has worked as a film extra since 1960, leaving herself time to write."
The author's full name, according to the British Library, is Jennifer Antoinette Hall. She only published two other books: Mr Capon (Cassell, 1965) and The Diamond Trip (NEL, 1971). Her writing is cool, terse, and clear-eyed, observing bleakly the manners of her time and seeing in them primeval instincts and eternal patterns. Ask Agamemnon is a bold, strange work that is probably already a cult book among the cognoscenti: it is hard to find in any early edition.

Caspian Mist
Found between pages 32 and 33 of a copy of The Unquiet Grave by 'Paulinurus', this scrap of paper torn from the top left of a sheet. It contains both typescript and manuscript. On one side is the left half of a typed poem, with the rest missing – the demi-title reads DOWN IN SH[…]. There are also a few ms notes in ink, trying out various ways of introducing a girl called Nellie (although the poem is not a limerick).
The other side of the scrap is in pencil and includes a short shopping list (wine, marmalade, batteries, hovis biscuits), the words CASPIAN MIST, a note that to Benedictines the fourth vow is The Conversion of Manners, and the words Maltby's of Oxford, a bookbinder, particularly of theses, and perhaps a clue to the note-writer: a student? There are also definitions of some words: Aureole, Ovine. Aspects of the hand are similar to that of the ownership signature on the free front endpaper, which reads, in blue-black ink Eveline (or possibly Eirene) Beck, April 1946.
There is something poignant, even slightly eerie, about these fragments of a life from seventy years ago, caught by chance between the pages of a book. The most evocative phrase, 'Caspian Mist', might simply be the name of a racehorse, or a cocktail. No doubt with some diligent research and detective work, some of the clues here could be pieced together to form a portrait. But even as they stand these stray words seem to convey in an oblique way some sort of story.

Scholars On Holiday
There is without doubt an entire thesis to be written (I am not volunteering) on the subject of stories that start with scholarly young men taking a holiday in the country, from which mysteries flow. Some of M R James' stories begin in this way, so do a few of Arthur Machen's, and in the tales of E.F. Benson it is a regular thing.
I must admit to a great fondness for these sorts of yarns. There is something very satisfying about the picture they conjure. Their leading characters have generally gone to some remote spot for some innocent reason to do with catching up with their studies, or taking a rest from their studies, convalescing, or for walking or fishing. They find an old inn with quaint features, and a landlord or landlady with ditto, often garrulous, particularly about local manners and customs. Not long after they arrive they go for a walk among the hills, woods, moors or similar lonely places. And then…
I was reminded of these pleasant adventures when I began another of them recently. This was The Seven Black Chessmen (1928), the only book published under the name 'John Huntingdon'. It contained a line so typical of the field and so wonderfully enticing that I had to read it out loud. Two strangers at the aforesaid typical inn have fetched the local doctor (there is generally one of those in the picture somewhere, or the parson) and make themselves known to him.
"And allow me also to introduce myself. My name is Horton Forbes," says one. I am, of course, very glad to hear this. A fellow called Horton Forbes could be up to anything. If he had offered some more commonplace name, I should have been disappointed, unless I suspected it might be an alias. But next comes the delicious line:
"Not by any chance the Horton Forbes who published a monograph on Phoenician Rites in the West Country?" asks the doctor.
"I'm afraid so," Forbes replies, modestly, "with a smile" of course.
Well, I am sure we all agree that anyone who has published a monograph is going to have something about them. But a monograph on such a recondite subject! As noted in this place previously, Sherlock Holmes himself wrote a monograph on Chaldaean Roots in the Cornish Language, and was therefore working in similar terrain. The notion behind both is that Carthaginian sailors came to Cornwall long ago looking for tin, based upon some rather imaginatively interpreted passage in an ancient historian: but it is now thought that this is not at all what he was saying. And why anyone would take such a long, hazardous voyage for a commodity not all that valuable was never explained.
However, such legends die hard. And there are several similar ones about too. Arthur Quiller-Couch, for example, wrote a few very enjoyable tales which supposed the Greeks had landed in Cornwall. The legend that Joseph of Arimathea came to Britain, putting ashore in Cornwall, is persistent, and I remember reading that Cornish tin miners had a watchword they used during their tin workings: "Joseph was a tinner". It has also been suggested that the Western Caliphate which ruled southern Spain for some centuries sent out vessels to Cornwall and established ports and citadels there. We might think these traditions are all about marking Cornwall off as a place distinctive from the rest of England (or indeed not part of England), possessed of its own venerable antiquity.
Relics and residues of any kind relating to the Phoenicians in Cornwall would of course be fascinating enough: but survivals of their rites there? At this point I confess I would be even more interested in reading Mr Forbes' monograph than the book in which it is mentioned. In what way could those rites linger still, I wonder? I admit that I went so far as to check the British Library catalogue, just in case there was such a monograph. There isn't.
So, back to Mr Forbes. And indeed much more about him is soon forthcoming. He had been sent into the jute business by his father, but did not much like it. Fortunately, a wealthy uncle died and left him all his money (there are often conveniently mortal uncles in such tales). Forbes entirely understandably threw aside jute and devoted himself instead to "anything uncommon or incredible", an occupation that has already taken him to Persia and Siam, and now (for such is the setting) the Welsh border country, because, as he avers, "one may easily come across people quite as strange, and occurrences quite as stimulating, here at home". He smokes long Turkish cigarettes. There is more than a suggestion in all this of the influence of Mr Machen, I think, not only in the Welsh Border setting, but also in the Mr Dyson-ish nature of the sleuth.
John Huntingdon's book seems to be shaping up as mostly a murder mystery with only a marginal supernatural element, if that, and there is no sign yet that Horton Forbes' specialised knowledge of Phoenician Rites is going to come in handy. However, I am still only a few chapters in, so who knows whether Baal and Ishtar may yet make their presence felt. In the meantime, since Huntingdon is evidently a pseudonym, it is worth looking to see who he really was, just in case it turns out that the author himself was an authority on the dread rituals.
Well, apparently not, or at least not obviously. It turns out he was Gerald William Phillips, 1884-1956, born in India; died in Surrey; the author of three volumes about Shakespeare published in the Thirties, and one monograph about him in 1954. The title of one of these, The Tragic Story of "Shakespeare" disclosed in the Sonnets, and the life of Edward de Vere, Seventeenth Earl of Oxford, etc. (Cecil Palmer, 1932), reveals him to be, as other sources confirm, an Oxfordian, ie one of those who argue that this courtier was the "real" author of Shakespeare's work.
Now, though not quite as good as finding him a Phoenicianist (or whatever the proper term should be for those who seek signs of this civilisation in the West Country), this is still quite cheering. I have a fondness for quaint theories surrounding Shakespeare, including debates about the apocrypha (plays he might have written or co-written), books and things he may or may not have owned (such as his history book or, recently, his dictionary), and of course "the authorship question". I was delighted to find a sturdy volume recently in which, instead of the usual suspects (Bacon, Oxford, or a circle of courtiers amusing themselves), a Russian scholar put forward the figure of the Earl of Rutland. There do not seem to be many other Rutlandians yet, but these things wax and wane. At first Bacon was very much in the ascendant but now Oxford is definitely more favoured.
I should explain that my relish in such debates is not because I subscribe to any of the theories in particular, but because I enjoy literary eccentricity. I also have a small collection, I suppose it may be getting on for a dozen titles, of books which attempt to complete, or solve, The Mystery of Edwin Drood. Some of these are written as novels, or as fictional continuations, whereas others are essays or monographs looking at the various theories that have been put forward, sometimes advancing a new one, or if not at least coming out in favour of one or another. The several questions the famously unfinished book prompt include: what did Dickens mean when he said he had "a very curious and new idea for my new story…a very strong one, though difficult to work"?; what is the significance of the opium den?; who is the stranger Dick Datchery, and what is he up to?; who are the Singhalese twins, Neville and Helena Landless, and what is their role?; and, of course, who murdered Edwin Drood?.
This is a very enjoyable game indeed. Many ingenious devices have been used to work out how Dickens meant the story to end. People have looked for clues in his letters or, more often, it must be said, between the lines of his letters. The illustrations to the frontispiece of the first edition have been minutely examined for clues, on the assumption that Dickens might have confided the denouement to the artist. The memoirs of Dickens' family, friends and associates have been scoured for anything he might have said or hinted to them. Seances have been held to elicit the answer from Dickens' restless spirit, and indeed a whole book was written which purported to have been dictated from beyond. The position is made more complicated, and disputatious, because Dickens himself clearly said he changed the plan for the story as he wrote it: so any early suggestions may have been superseded.
M.R. James also much enjoyed the Drood game and accompanied some fellow scholars to Rochester to look into it at the scene of the crime (if, indeed, there was a crime: even that is not quite certain). This is another example of "scholars on holiday" and in more than one way, taking time away from the cloister and common room to pit their wits against a perennial and in every sense endless mystery.

Slightly Foxed 50
"We had walked the white sands of Luskentyre in a wild wind that left grains in our hair and salt on our lips. The shadows of clouds skimmed across the face of Taransay, indigo over the water. Somebody had scuffed the word 'Scotland' with their shoe on the shore. We added 'Atlantis', with an arrow pointing west."
This is the beginning of 'The Islands Beyond', my essay on the books of Robert Atkinson, just published in the Summer 2016 issue, number 50, of Slightly Foxed, the 'Real Reader's Quarterly'.
I discovered his Island Going while on a visit to the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides last year, and at once knew that here was a natural writer. The book is about expeditions that he and a friend, floppy-haired, pipe-smoking John Ainsley, made to remote islands in search of 'Leach's Fork-Tailed Petrel' in the Nineteen Thirties.
But it isn't simply a birdwatching book. It's also about the sea, about isolated communities, friendship, and the zest in life of the two adventurous youths. It's about determination, curiosity, hardship, and a humane interest in everything around us. Even if the avian world holds little interest for you, the book is worth reading for the graceful prose, the sheer gusto, and the fine company it offers.
This issue of Slightly Foxed also includes fifteen other essays by readers writing about books they've enjoyed: "books that are no longer new and fashionable but have lasting appeal."

Peppermint 7 Released
Peppermint 7 launched a few days ago. Peppermint is a lightweight Ubuntu-based Linux distribution with an emphasis on speed and simplicity. Although the name is similar to Linux Mint, the projects aren't directly related. Peppermint originally was envisioned as a "spicier" alternative to Mint—whatever that means! Many distros come with a wide assortment of feature-rich applications, and that's great for power users who need those apps. But older machines can struggle to cope with those demanding distros. Peppermint solves the problem by offering a carefully curated suite of web apps that perform tasks traditionally handled by native apps. It's an approach that will be familiar to any Chromebook users reading this article.

Baker Theatre
1821 Main Street,
Baker City,
No one has favorited this theater yet
The Orpheum Theatre opened in 1889 in Baker City. It ran until 1936 when there was a fire in the building. The theatre was boarded up for a time and then Ted Gamble (a Portland, Oregon movie theatre owner) leased, remodeled, modernized it and reopened the theatre in the 1940's. The theatre was renamed the Baker Theatre.
It had a large balcony and CinemaScope screen. First run movies were shown daily until about 1955 when they went to a four day week. In 1956 the theatre was closed and sat vacant until about 1964 when it was remodeled into a hardware store. Later it became a clothing store and then a music store, who moved out of the building in 2015. In May 2016 plans were proposed to renovate and re-open the building, to be re-named Baker Orpheum Theatre. Much of the original decorative features will be revealed after being hidden for years behind false walls and ceilings.

The Baker can be seen in this 1950 photo:
Word has it that a group in La Grande is trying to resurrect the Liberty Theater there for a community multi purpose theater facility. The Baker could be done this way too. It is pretty much intact. The projection room, balcony, under the floor is the original sloped floor and the stage is still there. At a recent Eastern Oregon Regional Theater play another longterm Baker City resident and former business owner mentioned this to me. EORT is trying to find a location for a permanent theater. This space could be restored much like the Liberty. It would be a great addition to downtown. A great space for plays, traveling music events, etc…I spent many enjoyable hours at the Baker as a child.

Roopal Tyagi stands up against cyber bullying
Mumbai: TV actress Roopal Tyagi, best known as Gunjan from `Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke`, took a stand against cyber bullying at the `Be a Star Rally` at Andrews Auditorium here
Roopal addressed 175 children (along with their parents) on the issue and shared the stage with WWE superstar Ryback.
The actress believes that the best way to avoid any kind of bullying is to talk to people whom we can trust, like our elders or parents.
"I spoke to the kids about it, I explained to them what it is because most of them are only aware of verbal and physical bullying, they are not aware of cyber bullying," Roopal told IANS.
"I also told them how they can stop it, by talking to people they can trust, like teachers or parents or any elder," she added.
The 23-year-old also shared that recently even she became a victim of cyber bullying, but she tried to confront it.
"I am going through it right now. There are more than 100 fake IDs on my name on Twitter and Facebook. People are interacting with my fans and talking to them on my behalf, asking them to come and meet at so and so place."
"So, there was this fake ID where I posted that `why are you doing this?` and `what will you get out of it?`," Roopal said.
"I did not get a reply but yes, after that my fans are aware now that which is my real ID and which is the fake one, so now they will ignore them," she added.
What did you advise the kids?
"Apart from telling them to talk to their parents, I have asked them to be more open to them. I know that people don`t want to share their username and password with anyone, but they can have their parents on their friend list, so that they are aware of what is happening," Roopal said.

Home > Press > Large Current to Flow with Zero Resistance
How can one increase the maximum current which can flow in a superconductor without any resistance? Counter-intuitively the answer in some circumstances is to increase the dissipation (i.e. the energy losses) in the superconductor, as Paul Warburton and his colleagues from LCN and the University of Oxford show.
Small currents can flow in superconductors with absolutely no resistance. This makes them important for a number of applications including hospital MRI scanners and energy-efficient power transmission. But above some value (known as the critical current) a phenomenon known as phase-slip causes a resistance to appear. Experiments on nanostructured thin films of the high-temperature superconductor thallium barium calcium copper oxide (TBCCO) conducted by Dr Warburton and his colleagues show that increasing the dissipation (or the viscosity) suppresses phase-slip, allowing larger currents to flow with zero resistance.
This is one example of how viscosity can prevent transitions (in the broadest sense of the word) from happening. In this case the transition is from the zero-resistance state of a superconductor to its resistive state. But both the natural and man-made worlds abound with examples of other types of transition where viscosity plays an important role. For instance, in the financial sector transitions between periods of steady growth of stock market prices and periods of wild fluctuations can be suppressed by "viscosity" in the form of market regulation.
Dr Warburton's work is reported in a recently-published paper in Physical Review Letters(1). His work is supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council.

text: Administration Citi Buys DB Plan of UK Newspaper Publisher August 17, 2007 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - Citigroup has acquired the pension fund of the UK's Thompson Regional Newspapers, taking the investment and longevity risk on to its own balance sheet, the Financial Times reported. By Adrien Martin | August 17, 2007 class="textbodyblack"> It is not an anomaly for a bank to buy a UK pension scheme these days, but Citigroup's decision to acquire and continue running the Thompson plan is a new tactic. The plan, with 2,800 retired and 800 deferred members, will be adequately protected and Citi's balance sheet will suffer if the assets ultimately proved incapable of meeting the scheme's liabilities, according to the news report.class="textbodyblack"> Corporations have for a while been rescuing the private defined benefit pension plans of distressed companies in the UK by launching insurance operations, according to the Times. That is true of corporations such as Goldman Sachs, UBS and Aegon, as well as some start-up operations, which have allowed companies to offload their plans for a fee.class="textbodyblack"> In return, these companies would shut down the plan and replace it with a series of insurance contracts with plan members. Such activity has not caught on in the U.S., but an investment bank's willingness to acquire an ailing pension plan could pull out the stops that often kill acquisitions and mergers of companies.class="textbodyblack"> This puts Citi under different rules than insurance companies. According to the newspaper, Citi will be governed by pension regulation rather than insurance rules.class="textbodyblack"> This means that Citi will not be required to maintain the same solvency buffer of regulatory capital that insurance companies have to maintain. While insurance companies that buy plans must have capital invested in primarily long-dated gilts that offer low investment returns, Citi does not.class="textbodyblack"> Citi plans to manage the pension assets with a liability-driven approach, trying to match movements in assets and liabilities, according to the Times report. related articles related research most e-mailed UpFrontTax Diversification From plansponsor.com Court's Decision About State Street's Handling of GM Stock StandsLGBT Employees Reevaluating Workplace BenefitsAmericans Feel a Downside of Living LongerFinancial Knowledge Leads to Better Retirement Savings BehaviorCourt Moves Forward Great-West ERISA SuitVirgin Pulse Offers Toolkit to Help Employers Promote Wellbeing UpFrontTax Diversification From plansponsor.com 2016 Recordkeeping Survey2016 Participant Survey2016 PLANSPONSOR Health Savings Account Buyer's Guide 2015 PLANSPONSOR DC Survey: Plan Benchmarking2015 Defined Contribution Survey2015 PLANSPONSOR Managed Account Buyer's Guide UpFrontTax Diversification From plansponsor.com EEOC Provides Sample Notice for Wellness ProgramsNew Church Plan Lawsuit Presents a Different AnglePSNC 2016 DC Plan Investment Menu TrendsPSNC 2016 DOL and IRS AuditsMortality Table Updates go to news topic

Despite ceasefire, many issues unresolved between Israel and Hamas
The Associated Press
Published Wednesday, August 27, 2014 12:13PM EDT
Last Updated Wednesday, August 27, 2014 3:06PM EDT
JERUSALEM -- A seven-week war between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip has ended with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
Here is a look at the results of the war, the terms of the cease-fire and unresolved issues that are to be tackled in a future round of indirect negotiations expected to begin next month:
By the numbers:
- 2,143 Palestinians killed, according to Palestinian health officials. The United Nations says that includes hundreds of civilians and at least 494 children.
- 70 Israelis killed, all but six soldiers.
- 17,200 homes destroyed or severely damaged, with 100,000 Palestinians homeless, according to U.N. figures.
- 4,591 rockets and mortars fired at Israel, according to the Israeli military.
- The military says it struck 5,226 "targets" -- primarily through airstrikes but also in artillery strikes and tank and gunship fire.
- Israeli military intelligence believes Hamas possesses roughly 2,500 rockets, compared to about 10,000 before the war. It says several thousand were destroyed in Israeli airstrikes.
The cease-fire:
- The opening of Israeli-controlled crossings with Gaza "that ensures the humanitarian aid and reconstruction materials" are allowed in.
- Israel says there will be safeguards to prevent reconstruction materials from being used for military purposes. It says all materials will be inspected on their way into Gaza, and will be under international supervision afterward.
- An expansion of the fishing zone for Gaza's fishermen from 3 nautical miles to 6 nautical miles.
- Israel to allow Gaza to export goods to West Bank for first time in eight years.
- Israel to allow the Palestinian Authority to pay salaries to civil servants employed by Hamas in Gaza, with guarantees that none of the money goes to Hamas' military wing.
- An Israeli buffer zone along the Gaza border will be reduced from 500 metres to 300 metres, and eventually down to 100 metres.
Unresolved issues:
- Hamas wants Egypt to reopen the Rafah border crossing -- Gaza's main gateway to the outside world -- to passenger and cargo traffic. A border deal would include a role for Abbas, giving him his first foothold in Gaza since Hamas overran the area in 2007.
- Hamas also wants a reopening of Gaza's air and seaports.
- Israel wants Hamas to disarm.
- A return of bodies of two Israeli soldiers killed in the war.
- Hamas' demand that dozens of Hamas prisoners arrested in a West Bank crackdown over the summer be released. Most had been freed in a 2011 prisoner swap.
