Local author speaks to LSHS book club
Published: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, November 12, 2013 at 9:13 p.m.
A local young author spoke Tuesday to a crowd of nearly 30 people at Lexington Senior High School.
The book club, Jackets Read, hosted the visit from Brandi Nicole Mauldin in the media center. She recently published a book titled "Belligerent."
"I think it's really good," said 10th-grader Taya Bell-Huddle about the book. "It battles with relating to a teenager's life. It's really awesome to meet her. I've enjoyed it."
The book was released this past June by Fable Press LLC of Plainville, Conn. The book is the first book in the young author's Vicara series, which is described as a mixture of dystopian and science-fiction styles.
Mauldin, 23, of Lexington wanted to encourage students to keep writing and reading.
"It's great to have someone there to say you can do this right out of school," Mauldin said.
The book was written this past November when Mauldin was in college. She told students it took her a month to write and another four months to edit.
She shared with the students that some of the characters have been around in her head for about five years. She noted that most writers have one of two things — either a strong plot or strong characterizing. Mauldin's strong point was creating characters.
"Having (Mauldin) here brought the book to life. It made you think about how she came up with the characters," said 12th-grader Ashley Martin.
Bell-Huddle and Martin both agreed that the book symbolizes the popular Hunger Games book series. Martin said the book was great and having the author visit made it more personal.
"With her being so young it inspires me. I can do anything. Whether it's writing a book or just anything," she said.
Mauldin attended Sheets Memorial Christian School from kindergarten through 10th grade. She spent her last two years at Davidson County Community College in the dual enrollment program until she earned her high school diploma in 2008.
She received an English degree from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro in May. She is the daughter of Robert and Shirley Stanford, as well as Mary Kimball and Bobby Mauldin.
Mauldin talked with students about college and the process of writing. She started writing at age 5.
"I didn't think it would be a career. It was more like a hobby," she said. "Once you get published, that's when you actually start doing your work. When it comes to marketing, you have to sell your book."
Mauldin said it's a great feeling to have the book published. Next year the second part is schedule to be released, she said. She noted there may be five series.
"It's going pretty well. I would encourage you to read it," Mauldin told the students.
"Belligerent" was the book club's second reading selection. The school's Parent Teacher Organization provided funds for the purchase of the books for the group that was started this school year. They have four books on the list.
"It's nice," Bell-Huddle said about the club. "I joined because I love reading and writing."
Cheryl Chauncy, LSHS media coordinator, said they have about eight active students in the club. The first book they read was "Perks of Being a Wallflower" by Stephen Chbosky. Chauncy choose "Belligerent" next because of the local author's connection.
"The students really like having her here. It was a new experience. It went very well," she said.
Mauldin's pen name is B.N. Mauldin. The book can be purchased online through the websites www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com.

Thank you for your reply. I have attached photos of the bike in question,
a 2005 Rieju RS-1 Castrol 50. I need all original bodyworks fairings! I
would assume that they are sold in the base colors and then a graphic

please advise on lubrication of this engine as handbook only shows engine/gearbox sump dont 2 strokes normally have a seperate header tank for the engine?
Sorry I do not have pictures but bike can be found on Rieju website, I have been back to the supplier who showed me the oil tank is situated under the seat as per most 2 strokes and it also has a low oil warning light on the digital speedo/dash, this information is not printed in the handbook.
The bike has now done 600kms and had its first service, I have done the first stage derestriction which involves seperating the exhaust manifold (header pipe) from the expansion chamber and removing a restrictor plate then changing the main jet from a 75 to 95, it will now do 75kmh/45mph and pulls strongly
next stage derestrict will be soon
regards Andy

Area children and their parents gather eggs at an Easter egg hunt hosted by the Bessemer Chamber of Commerce Saturday at Washington Elementary School in Bessemer.
WAKEFIELD — Regional Hospice's seventh annual Polar Plunge saw an increase in plungers and donations this year at Saturday's event in Wakefield.
Forty-one brave souls plunged into the cold waters of Sunday Lake, including two entries in the scaredy-cat category, which requires participants to only go in up to their knees. "We broke the record for jumpers," said Mary Oberto, of Regional Hospice in Bessemer. "We had 41, the most we've ever had." Oberto organized the event with Kathy Maki of Regional Hospice.
Through pledges collected by plungers and donations from local businesses, organizations and individuals, the event has raised $14,918 so far. That's about $4,500 more than last year's event raised through plunge day.
The total amount will continue to rise, Maki said, because donations normally continue to come in for a couple weeks after the Plunge, which serves as Regional Hospice's main fundraiser. All the money collected stays local and benefits area residents.
"We serve anybody with a terminal illness regardless of their ability to pay," Oberto said.
Maki added: "Medicare, Medicaid and insurance doesn't cover all the costs. Fundraising is to help pay for the additional costs."
A bout of unseasonably warm weather melted all the ice before last year's Polar Plunge, but a late winter with continued cold conditions allowed Sunday Lake's ice to hang around for the event. The colder weather didn't hinder registration, though. "Registration in advance was better this year than with the good weather last year," Maki said. "We had a goal of 40 plungers and we met it." She said she was very pleased with the "awesome" turnout.
Most participants jumped in memory of a loved one who passed away. Cynthia Grayson, of Wakefield, said she jumped for the sixth or seventh time at Saturday's event. She takes the plunge to honor the memory of her husband, Rollen Grayson, who was treated by Regional Hospice before he passed away. Grayson said she wanted to thank Regional Hospice because they were "amazing" during her time of need. "They were so good to my family," she said.
Safety precautions were taken, with rescue divers, an ambulance and police and fire department members standing by.
Following the jump, participants and spectators gathered at the Wakefield VFW for an awards ceremony including food, refreshments and raffles with prizes donated by local businesses and organizations.
Margaret Zaleski won Most Pledges Raised as an Adult, gathering $2,640 in pledges. Emily Johnston won Most Pledges Raised as a Child, collecting $350. Johnston, 6, also won Youngest Jumper and Best Costume as a Child. Tom DeCarlo, 87, won Oldest Jumper for the seventh year running.
The event ran smoothly thanks to the help of volunteers. "There's a lot of volunteers here helping today," Maki said. "It's all our Regional Hospice volunteers."
Maki said organizing the event also went well thanks to the help of two Wakefield organizations. "I can't say enough about the city of Wakefield and the Wakefield VFW," she said. "They're great people to work with."
Oberto added: "Coverage from the Daily Globe and the radio stations has been excellent."
The community plays a huge role in the event's success. "This community has been awesome," Maki said. "They're so supportive of so many fundraisers. There are so many in the area and they just still give, give, give. It's just amazing how wonderful our community is."
"We really can't say enough," Oberto added. "It's all of the communities, Wisconsin as well as Michigan. And the wonderful people who come out and bare their souls, so to speak, when they jump."
For more information, call Regional Hospice at 906-663-0308. Donations may be sent to Regional Hospice Services Inc ., 100 S. Mill St ., Bessemer MI 49911.

Honeymoon Donations
Many couples are able to plan the honeymoon of a lifetime with the help of their wedding guests. There are numerous travel agents who now have honeymoon gift list facilities.
The couple should clearly explain in the extra information sheet that is sent out with the wedding invitations how the list works and how the money will be spent.
The honeymoons should therefore be organised before the initations are sent out.
The guests will be able to make financial donations, via the travel agent, towards the honeymoon.
Some companies offer itemised lists where guests can contribute towards specific elements of holiday. For example, hotel accommodation, hire car, transfers, a meal in a specific restaurant, diving expenses, ski passes, boat trips etc.
It is a nice gesture for the couple to take a photo of special events or elements of the honeymoon that were bought for them to send to the guest with their thank you letter.

Deutsche Telekom to buy Sprint and merge it with T-Mobile USA?
T-Mobile USA may be a struggling carrier, but it's backed by Europe's largest telecommunications company, namely Deutsche Telekom.
Deutsche Telekom has recently decided to merge T-Mobile UK with France Telecom's Orange UK, and it looks like it also wants to make important changes when it comes to T-Mo USA.
According to Telegraph.co.uk, the German-based company may, in the next few weeks, "submit a bid for Sprint", currently the third largest US mobile carrier.
Like T-Mobile USA, Sprint (which has a market value of about $10.6 billion) isn't doing too well lately, losing customers to AT&T and Verizon, as well as to smaller carriers.
If Deutsche Telekom will indeed buy Sprint and merge it with T-Mobile USA, the resulted carrier would have about 78 million customers – almost as many as AT&T. Of course, a problem in merging the two carriers is the fact that T-Mobile uses GSM/UMTS frequencies, while Sprint is a CDMA operator. Well, we'll see soon what happens.

Customer Reviews
August 2015
We had a great time - good value. We opted to go first class on the Train portion which was really nice.
The hotel in Edinburgh not exactly a Scottish guest house was actually much better than we had anticipated for the - it was a European hotel and perfectly located. The amt of time in Scotland was perfect and the Highland Tour was great. This is the only way that we would take a short 3-day exclusion in the future - nice job Viator !! C Taylor / USA .
May 2015
Absolutely loved it! Beautiful countryside. Our guide Heather was fantastic. She had some great historic stories that she talked about along the way. Very knowledgable and could make a little story seem like you were right there when it happened. Loved her! The trip was well worth it.
December 2013
So supportive! As a solo traveller, I was met at Kings Cross station where details of the trip were clearly explained to me. The lovely lady then personally escorted me to the train carriage. The train ride was a breeze, The Missoni Hotel was a real treat (though getting there is a little bit of a hike if lugging a suitcase). Kenny the bus driver was a fantastic and informative tour guide on our 11 hour day to the Loch Ness (I didn't mind your singing one bit!). Edinburgh is a beautiful city, rich with stunning architecture, history and culture. And plenty of whisky shops.
July 2013
Travelling first class on the train is a must for other travellers one is treated like a king as for the hotel one could not better .
the tour guide Andy was well informed on the whole trip and a joy full character on the bus

WSFA-TV reports the south Alabama county is the only one in the state to remove its storm signals. The television station reports leaders in Chilton County say they're also considering removing their 36 sirens, which cost $75,000 a year to maintain.
Aside from $20,000 in annual maintenance costs and equipment malfunctions, Bullock County Commissioner Johnny Adams says the sirens have a sound range of about one mile and the county would need 200 sirens for the network to be effective.
Adams says county leaders are encouraging residents to sign up for Alabama Safe-T-Net -- a free, web-based alert system that uses text messages, phone calls and emails to deliver notifications.

i'm struggling in the attept to compile c++ with SDL2. I've done as always:
- checkout the code (both from mercurial and libsdl.org)
- ./configure, make, sudo make install
But it keeps to say:
/usr/bin/ld: error: cannot find -lSDL2
I need to get working on my source code quickly and on 13.04 and 13.10 these operations always led me to working libs. Now back on 12.04 something strange is happening. Also the make install instructions said:
Libraries have been installed in:
If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
during execution
- add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
during linking
- use the `-Wl,-rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
- have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'
can someone please elaborate a little bit on these instructions, since i don't seem to get it?
echoing both variables shows they're empty, also i'm on a 64 bit version of 12.04 (it must matter since on both 13.04/13.10 no problems at all)

Since his first appearance on the American scene, Barrence Whitfield's been a kind of delightful enigma. Whitfield launched his first edition of the Savages in 1984, when Madonna, Michael Jackson, LA hair bands and hip-hop were the big things happening. In contrast, his first album, "Barrence Whitfield and the Savages," and the 1985 follow-up, "Dig Yourself," were R&B rave-ups that sounded like they could have been made in the early 60's. Whitfield's voice was, and still is, a pure raw, raucous soul instrument that's been compared to such greats as Wilson Pickett, Little Richard, Howlin' Wolf and Screamin' Jay Hawkins. The last is especially notable, because throughout Whitfield's records you invariably find bits of tongue-in-cheek humor, the novelty element, like in 'Girl from Outer Space' on "Ow,Ow,Ow" and 'Dust on My Needle' from "Let's Lose It", where the recording skips at the end as if it's a vinyl record with – yep, dust on the needle. Whitfield is a "vinyl over CD" (or any other format) advocate, and when he isn't touring, he works at vintage record store The Record Exchange in Salem Mass., as the resident expert on all things R&B and more.
Original founding member of Barrence Whitfield and The Savages, Peter Greenberg, (previously guitarist for the much loved Boston punk/garage band The Lyres) reunited with Barrence in 2010, to test the waters, which led to "Savage Kings" (2010) and the current release, "Dig Thy Savage Soul." (2012.) "Dig Thy Savage Soul" has been selling briskly, getting universally outstanding reviews, and Barrence Whitfield and the Savages have been touring in Europe and the US.
I spoke with Whitfield recently in Beverly, Mass, where he lives. Whitfield in person is the polar opposite of his wild man onstage persona – he's laid-back, unaffected, congenial and humorous, almost professorial at times, in his wide musical knowledge and experience.
Who's the guy on the pipe? (on the album cover)
I got that pipe in Spain. I didn't know who it was when I bought it, but then people told me it was Napoleon. But the picture for this cover came from me and Peter seeing an old a promo poster of Howlin' Wolf, where he had a beret and a huge pipe, it was one of those Sherlock Holmes pipes… and we said, "I love that photo, let's try to do something like that," so we did it.
So after all these years, you and Peter reunited.
Yeah, the first three years, 1983-1986 were the years we were together, Peter had already been in DMZ and the Lyres, so by the time 1986 had come around, he met a nice woman, decided to get married, he changed his stripes, and left music for a long time. Then in 2010 out of the blue he invited me out to Taos, where he lived. He was doing a DMZ reunion, and he was also playing with this band Manby's Head, with Mike Mooney, who wrote some of the songs for the album. (Dig Thy Savage Soul) Peter wanted to reissue the first Barrence Whitfield and the Savages album, so we had to sign some legal contracts. He told me that he was doing some playing with this band, and I said, 'Hey, if you want me to ever come out here and visit, and we could so some jamming… so within the next two or three weeks he called and said, 'Barrence, I booked some dates, you want to come out and do some shows?' And we got Phil (Lenker), bass player of the original Savages to do it, and we flew out there. First time we had played in a long long time. We played just in New Mexico, but by the end we talked about doing it again. We put together some material, but we needed to have a record label, and I knew this record label in Spain. I contacted them and they said 'We would be honored to put out your next record.' (The resulting record was "Savage Kings")
You toured once that record came out?
With that record out we went to France and Spain, Italy and Germany to do some shows. It was very successful over there, we were more recognized than here.
At that point, you'd planned to put out another album…
We wanted to find a record label here in the US, we'd already done the recording, we were looking for someplace to shop it around, so we sent it to Bloodshot and they said, "We've been playing this in the office every day, we want to put it out!" So the album came out in August 2012. Everything that's been said about it has been great. Not just in America, but around the world. I just got a review of the record the other day from New Zealand.
Tell me about recording the album – the record's got a very live sound. How did you get that?
All the basic tracks were recorded onto 8-track tape live – bass, drums, guitar… all my records have been done that way… and the sax was in there too. Then we did overdubs. I think it's the way rock and roll should be. There's so much tech out there, and they're going for the same kind of sound, but we're doing it the way it used to be done. We did it at Ultrasound Studio in Cincinnati, a lot of R&B artists recorded there in the 70's.
Your voice at times has a definite Howlin' Wolf, Captain Beefheart vibe to it…
Actually, we recorded a song that was going to be on this album, Beefheart's 'Zig-Zag Wanderer,' that's from (Beefheart's album) "Safe as Milk," we knew we were bridging a new… revolution by doing Captain Beefheart. But we didn't end up putting on the record. That's still in the can.
On 'I'm Sad About It,' (from "Dig Thy Savage Soul") that seems to have a little Screamin' Jay feel…
Yeah, it's a soul tune written by a guy named Lee Moses, Atlanta, Georgia, 60's – again, he's one of those unsung heroes of rock and roll and soul nobody knows, but I mentioned the song in England, and they knew who Lee Moses is. It's a great soul tune, we did one of his songs on the "Savage Kings" record, 'Bad Girl.' He's a very very powerful singer, so this song (I'm Sad About It) was just perfect.
Why do you think there's more awareness in England?
I think it's appreciation for R&B and soul. It's always been there. It's always been there. From the times of The Beatles and The Rolling Stones, that's what they were listening to.
You could take most of the songs on this record, and put them on a radio show with R&B songs from the 60's, and unless they'd heard the record, people wouldn't know the songs were current. I think it's a compliment to the record that it's got the R&B sound itself, but also the live feel you get from those old records. We're you going for that?
Yeah, in some ways we were, but you know, what we were going for was just a sound people could relate to, there's all this technology where you can fill up a CD with maybe 60 minutes of music on it – this wasn't that. This is an album oriented recording, 12 songs, you know, so that you can put it on and hear the whole thing in one sitting. There's songs on here that will stick in your head, and that's exactly what we were going for. They're short songs that people can go back to and want to hear again.
How was it playing on the Jools Holland TV show in England? (video link)
It was great. It was a trip to be playing across from the Pixies. Tony Joe White was on it. I also got to meet Hugh Laurie. He's a piano player, you know. He was on the show. I'd love to get a note from him one of these days, just talk to him. Because of the production of the show and everything, we didn't get a chance to sit down and really hang.
What's coming up? Touring?
Next year we'll still be touring, that's in the works. I think there's a lot of new fans, a lot of babies who were running around in their diapers when we started who are in their 20's, so I think that's another thing. I mean, there's kids out there listening to like... the Jonas Brothers, who need to be saved. (laughter) If they want to be saved. Having this record come out in the year 2013, it matters to people. It's something hasn't been done for a while, it hasn't been done out in the mainstream, I think people have forgotten about it, you know, and here were are, fifty year old guys banging and sweating and it's just like it was back in 1965, 1958... 1979, you know, it's just basic rock and roll, basic soul, basic rhythm and blues. People still like that stuff, no matter if they say - "That's my grandfather's music, or my great grandfather's music," it still matters today.

Are you one of the many Chicagoans who has to make a second trip to the grocery store to re-buy Halloween candy? It happens all too often. You buy early, when the sales begin, and stash it away, planning to bring it out when the trick-or-treaters arrive. Later that week, you get a chocolate craving, open a bag for just one or two pieces, and a few days later, the bag is empty and you're back to square one.
Next year, buy only a week--or a few days--before the holiday to avoid this common diet flub.
Here are a few other ways you can keep the calorie intake to a minimum during Halloween.
- Give out packets of hot cocoa. Not only will the kids have a treat that they can enjoy later at home, but you can use any leftovers for a relatively low calorie snack during the winter months.
- Buy small candies, and opt for the ones with lower calories, like tootsie rolls or smarties.
- Give away any extras at the end of the night to the kids next door. Their parents may not thank you, but your waistline will.
- Take advantage of the good Midwest weather while it lasts by taking a walk at the beginning or end of trick-or-treat time. You can take in all of the cute costumes and get some cardio in.

A deferment is a period of time during which a lender temporarily postpones regular payments. Deferments are granted for specific situations set forth by Congress and have certain time limitations and conditions for eligibility. Depending on when you received your first loan, you may be eligible for a deferment if your particular situation falls into certain categories.
Deferments are entitlements. This means lenders must grant them if borrowers qualify. Therefore, it is the borrower's responsibility to request a deferment and follow up with the necessary documentation to prove their qualification.

packing checklist
Perfect packing made easy
Prepare an inventory list while you are packing, it only takes a few minutes and will help you stay organised.
It's a good idea to pack valuable and essential items separately and keep these items with you.
Pack as much as you can into each box and be sure to use packing paper to reduce empty spaces as well as provide protection for your belongings. This will also facilitate loading your PODS container.
Make sure to fill each box to capacity, but not to the point where the top and sides bulge when closed. Always reinforce the bottom of each box with tape.
Use moving pads or moving blankets to protect furniture. Boxes, moving pads and other supplies are available on the PODS Packing page on this website.
Use the conveniently placed eyehooks inside your PODS container to secure your belongings one section at a time. Be sure to spread the weight of the contents evenly throughout the container and use all available space.
Label boxes to make unloading and unpacking simple and efficient.
To maximise the available space in your PODS container, turn sofas on end and fill hollow items such as refrigerators, washers and dryers.
Use the spaces between the beams to pack pictures, mirrors and other similarly shaped items; this will create a tighter fit to help protect these items.
Mix small items with larger items to fill spaces. Don't save all your boxes for the end.
Heavy items should be on the bottom and lighter items can go on top.
Put heavy items in smaller boxes for easier lifting. Lightweight items can go in larger boxes.
Secure your PODS® container with a lock when it is unattended.

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
by Thomas S. Vernon
"Is man only a blunder of God's, or God only a blunder of Man's?"
We use the generic "creatures" in referring to our fellow humans as well as to our planet's other life-forms. This is awkward for a secular humanist, since the concept of a creature implies that of a Creator, a notion that we have abandoned. In re-reading some of Nietzsche recently, I came across a passage that helped me to resolve this difficulty. In Part Four of Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche, as Zarathustra, exclaims, "You creators, you higher men!"
This strikes a theme, later picked up by Sartre and other existentialists, that you and I create ourselves as we go along. I have long felt that the expression, "to find oneself," is misdirected; it gives the false impression that one has a self waiting to be ferreted out, when, in reality, the self is not found, but made. Yet the question remains, By whom? Not by God, whose funeral Nietzsche observed ("What are these churches now if they are not the tombs and sepulchres of God?"). What Nietzsche and Emerson both saw and Sartre apparently did not is that the creation of the self is something the individual rarely has a hand in; in the great majority of cases, the maker is society, culture, civilization.
So we humans are "creatures" after all, creatures of the social forces and circumstances that produced us and that circumscribe us. Still, there is the possibility, at least, that the creature can become a creator, and this is what I take to be the major theme of Nietzsche's writings. We cannot create ourselves de novo, of course, or ex nihilo; we must start with what we have and create to the extent that we are able.
The first step -- or should we say, rather, series of steps, for it is likely to be a gradual and interrupted process -- is to become aware of our imprisonment, of the fact that we are imprisoned. Thus Emerson writes, "Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members." And Nietzsche, in The Dawn: "The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently," and "The snake that cannot shed its skin perishes. So do the spirits who are prevented from changing their opinions."
When we read such writers as Mill, Emerson, and Nietzsche, we observe men who have become aware of their creaturehood and are determined to become creators of themselves. The figure of a "second birth" applies here, but it is totally unlike the Pauline rebirth, which is merely an exchange of one form of slavery for another. The "higher man" of whom Nietzsche speaks plots his own course.
No one steps naked into this uncharted world; we still wear much of the mental clothing we inherited. What happens is that we examine our surroundings; that is to say, we begin to look with a critical eye at the cultural matrix in which we find ourselves. Can a microorganism perceive the culture in which it was grown? Some human organisms do, and they can then become, in part at least, creators rather than creatures.
It is only by deliberate act of the imagination that we can separate ourselves from our culture and undertake what has become an organic part -- perhaps the major part -- of ourselves. The culture itself is blind; only its creatures are able to see, but they must have the courage to look. Those who do become the eyes of civilization and are no longer mere creatures.
When Nietzsche began to look, what he was made him sick. I believe it was he who initiated the use of the term "nausea" as a metaphor. He speaks of sitting at a table where other people are eating food that he cannot. This was literally true for Nietzsche, who was obliged by precarious health to live on a very restricted diet, but he uses the figure to characterize his feeling toward the culture of his time. Today an intelligent person observing his fellow humans gorging themselves on a diet of television, video cassettes, supermarket "literature," moronic "gospel music," screaming car radios, and other depravities might wonder if Nietzsche's time could possibly have been as bad.
Nietzsche was born in Germany in 1844. His father was a Lutheran minister whose character may help explain why religion was one of the features of his culture that he found most offensive. Nietzsche is quoted as having written, "When one has not had a good father, one must create one." He did not, however, turn to a "heavenly" father to compensate for the shortcomings of his mother's husband. On the contrary, he saw this feature of religion as an infantilism that we must outgrow. His attack on Christianity is probably the most incisive and devastating that has ever been carried out. Walter Kaufmann writes: "Nietzsche is one of the first thinkers with a comprehensive philosophy to complete the break with religion."
It seems that the project of self-emancipation must begin, at least, with acts of repudiation, with saying, "This I do not like, this is bad, this I reject." The see-er begins as a rebel, a destroyer. The experience may be compared to a housecleaning, when painful decisions must be made as to what is rubbish and what is not. It may also be likened to an internal civil war, in whose aftermath a successful reconstruction is uncertain. This necessary destructive beginning is difficult to do well; it takes clear, hard thinking, as well as strength of will. Nietzsche does it magnificently. Yet one must read him with a discriminating eye. Kaufmann writes: "What distinguishes Zarathustra is the profusion of 'sapphires in the mud.'" I think this is true of all of Nietzsche's works.
Perhaps the most damning indictment of Christianity is his charge that it suppresses the "noble" virtues and exalts the "slave" virtues. Such important virtues as pride, courage, and wisdom have been condemned by Christianity and replaced by the virtues of humility, fortitude, and prudence, which are traits that characterize a good slave. Thus what is truly noble in humankind has been condemned as sinful, and we have been encouraged to cultivate "virtues" that are in reality sins against our better selves. Nietzsche explains all this and more in The Antichrist and Beyond Good and Evil.
People not willing to search for sapphires in the mud have found much in Nietzsche to complain of. Naturally. And some, the precursors and followers of Hitler, have used only the mud to construct a monstrous "superman" philosophy based, not on a will to power, but on a will to kill. Too many interpreters of Nietzsche have failed to see that his "will to power" refers to an inner power, a power to affirm oneself, to be what Emerson meant by "self-reliant." This is the positive, the constructive aspect of Nietzsche's philosophy that complements its nihilistic aspect.
Nietzsche's last public act was to throw his arms protectively about a horse that was being flogged by its master, whereupon he collapsed and had to be carried home. When he came to, he wrote a few brief, almost incoherent letters, and shortly after this became quite insane, and died a year-and-a-half later, in 1900. One of these letters, written to his friends, the Overbecks, reveals more than his madness:
To friend Overbeck and wife. Although you have so far demonstrated little faith in my ability to pay, I yet hope to demonstrate that I am somebody who pays his debts -- for example, to you. I am having all the anti-Semites shot.
Contrary to popular belief, Nietzsche was profoundly opposed to the anti-semitism of many of his fellow Germans. His sister Elizabeth's anti-semitism and marriage to a notorious anti-semite, Bernhard Forster, was a major cause of his alienation from her.
Many of the sapphires from Nietzsche's writings have been preserved as well-known aphorisms. Here are a few:
When stepped on, a worm doubles up. That is clever. In that way he lessens the probability of being stepped on again. In the language of morality: humility.
The principle of "Christian love": in the end it wants to be paid well.
The old God invents war, he divides the peoples, he fixes it so men will annihilate each other (priests have always required wars).
"Faith" means not wanting to know what is true.
Whoever despised himself still esteems the despiser within himself.
The distinguished type of human being knows that he is the something which gives honor to objects; he creates values.

In a rather sudden turn of events, we hear that the plans for a Billerica power plant are on hold due to decreased demands for power in the New England area. From Billericapowerplant.com, an opposition group:
In an interesting turn of events last week relating to the Billerica power plant proposal, the plant developer ran an ad in the Lowell Sun proclaiming victory with the EFSB decision to site the plant. And on the next day, also in the Sun, Joe Fitzpatrick, CEO of DG Clean Power, admitted that the plant would likely be delayed for some time due to decreasing demand for power overall and specifically for plants like this one. Click here [PDF] to see the ad that ran in the Sun. Click here to read the article in the Sun. A second article in the Tewksbury Town Crier quotes ISO-NE's spokesperson stating that there was far more capacity than demand in the recent ISO-NE auction. There is also commentary from the other partner in DG Clean Power, Ed Liston. Click here to read the Crier article.
Now, obviously the economic downturn has a lot to do with the decreased demand, but so do efforts to conserve, and as the national and state initiatives ramp up to push conservation (and there is a lot of low-hanging fruit) and increase the use of renewables like wind and solar, demand will only decrease further. It was always bunk that "we'll continue to need more power" in the short run - the line that the plant's proponents liked to push. "It'll take time for renewables to reduce the demand for carbon-based power" said they. Well, they are wrong, and it doesn't take a genius to see that we can easily, if we put our minds to accomplishing it, start reducing demand for CO2-based energy, deliberately and systematically. And will be, because the alternative is to let the planet warm even more than it has and will.
This is great news, and I hope we'll see more like it in the years ahead.
While the economic downturn may have something to do with the declining energy demand, energy efficiency is a key part as well– and perhaps a bigger one. Governor Patrick said that, after the passage of last year's green communities act, we would meet all of Massachusetts' additional energy demand with efficiency. To translate that, all of the new energy we need, we'll get from reducing energy waste in other places.
So we don't need new power plants because we're eliminating waste and using the energy we already have in smarter, more efficient ways. Combine that with the requirement that we go from 3% renewables now to 15% renewables in 2020 and we're in a position where we don't need new plants, and renewables are replacing the dirtiest plants that we're using now.
Now many of the regulations from the green communities act and the global warming solutions act are being drafted now, so we're not out of the woods yet and need the public to continue to weigh in with our decision-makers, but we should be on a path to make Massachusetts a leader in building the clean energy economy. Add in millions of economic stimulus dollars for transit, home weatherization and clean energy projects and this year could be the one where we begin to repower Massachusetts with 100% clean renewable energy.
Keep your fingers crossed– or even better– glued to the phone dialing the numbers of your senators and representatives to get your voice heard.

I have been wondering for a while now if the former Lowell dump could be used for wind turbines. Or if they could be put along the river . If so, could the energy be used for Lowell. Any thoughts?
This is a great example of how energy effeciency is really stopping the building of fossil burning power plants. I am excited to see that clean energy is much more then a promise now.
How dare you think of putting wind turbines on the old Lowell Dump.. that would destroy the pristine view and harm all the birds that fly through that area!!!
Let's all remember that conservations and decreased demand has to reach beyond the economic downturn. We have to work even harder to make good choices so that when things pick up, we don't put demand right back up where it was. But for right now, the power just isn't needed.
I've come to learn that those turbines can be very loud. At one time I had though putting a few turbines at the top of Christian Hill might be a good idea, but now that I realize how loud they are I've changed my mind.
The dump might be a better location, but there are still some residential areas that border it.
It seems like the best place for turbines might be sites like Cape Wind and the one proposed off the South Coast / Buzzard's Bay area. No residents to worry about there, and lots of wind.
In any event, I'm happy to hear the news about the power plant. I am really opposed to any new power generation that isn't renewable or nuclear.
I also give credit to Deval for his lofty goals. I really don't think we'll ever reach the 15% goal, but I give him a big thumbs up for the requirement.
This is simply the Wizard of Oz approach - pay no attention to the man behind the curtain. DG wants everyone to forget about it, while he goes about getting his permits. They have changed the layout of the plant (which significantly affect noise, visual, air, site selection and potentially safety), they still do not have a "buffer", they have switched to wastewater (yet another recent change) , and they expect the Final Environmental Impact Report (FEIR) to be complete on May 15th. DG is still moving thru there approval process (federal, state/environmental, air plan approval & town boards). They still do not have a complete and accurate site plant, however, He is teeing himself up to secure the investors, build the plant and turn it on as soon as possible. We still are following his moves very closely - at this the only thing that will stop him is delaying each and every move with our experts, at every turn….Don't believe what you read.

Jordan Romero, a 15-year-old Southern California teen, just became the youngest climber to successfully summit seven of the tallest mountains on seven continents. A few days ago he reached the top of Mt. Vinson Massif, Antarctica.
He's not the only teen to participate in an extreme (and expensive) sport. Mark Pfetzer was the youngest climber to summit a number of mountain peaks. His book Within Reach recounts his attempt to get to the top of Mt. Everest in 1996 at the age of 16 when a storm hit the mountain, cutting his trip short and killing 8 people.
Jessica Watson, a 16-year-old Australian, finished a solo, nonstop sailing trip around the world in May 2010. Check out her story in the book True Spirit.
Abby Sunderland, a sailor like her older brother Zac, also tried to sail solo around the world in 2010 at age 16 but had to halt her attempt when her boat was knocked down and drifted to an area rarely visited by sea traffic. Her trip drew criticism because of the cost of the rescue and the fact that her parents let her undertake such a dangerous voyage. What do you think of teens participating in these extreme sports? Read Abby's account of her ordeal in Unsinkable.

[Editor's Note: This post was originally published on the ChangeEngine Blog by ChangingMedia]
Since "mental health" seems to be so much in the news due to the Newtown massacre, I thought I'd share a little insight on the history of how our country has dealt with mental illness.
Back in the day, people deemed to have a mental illness were left to be taken care of by family memberes. Those who didn't have family were taken far away and stashed in institutions – rather like being quarantined. With industrialization and urbanization, families were no longer able to watch over those suffering full-time and the growth of mental asylums increased. Unlike general hospitals, which have been privatized and commercialized, mental health facilities have usually been left to the state. Also unlike hospitals, which have generally always increased in number, mental health facilities have generally increased in size since it was preferred that they stay on the outskirts of town.
At first, mental hospitals were filled with elders suffering from dementia. With the advent of nursing homes, mental health care became completely segregated. Indeed, until the popularization of psychiatry by Sigmund Freud's visit to America in 1909, mental illness was never seen as something that could be treated or cured, but only managed. Even today there really aren't cures for most mental illnesses – usually just sedatives and symptom depressors. Paul Starr, an expert in medical history, describes how these medications have allowed patients to be "more safely ignored" instead of treated.
The U.S. government has made only halting efforts to address mental illness over the years. When the National Institute of Health was founded in the late 1930's a part of its budget was devoted to mental health research. And in the early 1960's President John F. Kennedy made a push to create community health centers – a pilot program intended to link federal and community services for the mentally ill, but one that had little follow-through.
Looking back on this checkered history, it makes sense why so many would blame gun violence on those in "loony bins" even though only about three to five percent of people with mental illness actually commit violent crimes. We've mainly treated mental health in our country as a nuisance with shoddy institutions and stopgap remedies, never investing the time and money to develop better treatment for illnesses such as depression that plague about one in ten adults.
In my opinion, putting people in a database who have been labeled as being harmful to others is not going to do a darn thing. This proposal stems from a fundamental confusion – psych patients are not criminals. As an EMT in Chicago, I encountered many psychiatric patients and visited many psychiatric wards and institutions. Though we rarely give lobotomies any more, I found that mental health institutions are still eerily similar to the depiction in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. Usually, when someone was labeled "harmful to others," it was a patient who had become so angry at their environment and the way they were being treated that they lashed out with threats to hurt others. If any of us were cooped up in a place that resembled a jail, stripped of freedom and control over our own lives, the desire to hurt someone would probably not seem so insane.
If there's any benefit to the current media circus over mental illness, it's that a national discussion on mental health may help make people more aware that there are problems with how our country treats and views mental illness. And then maybe, just maybe, we can stop stigmatizing those who suffer and start to truly help them.

I can't believe it's already time to post our entries for Amy Warden's challenge.
I've always enjoyed Amy's challenges and this time she changed it up a bit. Each participating soaper paid a small fee. Those paying the fee will then vote on their favorite entry with the winner receiving a prize. This round's prize is an 18 bar slab mold from BrambleBerry. Sweet!
I consider the peacock swirl to be an advanced technique and it took some practice for me to be successful. Here is my first attempt.
A big gray mess. I'm not exactly sure what went wrong here but I think it was a combination of things. The soap traced faster than expected and the comb tines were too close together. Once this happened I didn't even try the 'S" to finish it off. However, in preparation for a screw-up, I had more oils and lye cooling in the back ground .
Here's my second batch….
Now that's what I'm talking 'bout! Here it is cut into bars.
The colors changed a bit overnight and the pictures were taken at different times of the day. I'm really pleased with the end result. Now if I can just master cutting bars the same size I'll be all set .
I'm looking forward to the next challenge. But until then…
Bon Savon!

At 3:52 p.m. today, the astronauts are due to open the hatch to Kibo and enter the new laboratory for the first time.
The shuttle crew awoke this morning to "Have You Ever," performed by Brandi Carlile. The song was played for Mission Specialist Karen Nyberg.
In addition to the continuing work on Kibo, the crew will work to remove and replace one of the beds on the carbon dioxide removal assembly (CDRA). The CDRA is part of the International Space Station's environmental controls. It works to remove carbon dioxide from the air on board the spacecraft.
The crew will also check out the sensors on the end of the orbiter boom sensor system (OBSS). The OBSS was retrieved from the outside of the station during yesterday's spacewalk, and it will remain attached to the shuttle's robotic arm until it is used to conduct the late inspection of the shuttle's heat shield on flight day 12. It will then be stowed in Discovery's payload bay for the return trip back to Earth.
Discovery crew members are Commander Mark Kelly, Pilot Ken Ham, and mission specialists Nyberg, Ron Garan, Mike Fossum, Aki Hoshide and Garrett Reisman. The Expedition 17 crew is Commander Sergei Volkov and flight engineers Oleg Kononenko and Greg Chamitoff.

When you're the best of friends
Having so much fun together
You're not even aware, you're such a funny pair
You're the best of friends
Life's a happy game
You could clown around forever
Neither one of you sees your natural boundaries
Life's one happy game
If only the world wouldn't get in the way
If only people would just let you play
They say you're both being fools
You're breaking all the rules
They can't understand the magic of your wonderland
When you're the best of friends
Sharing all that you discover
When these moments have passed, will that friendship last?
Who can say if there's a way?
Oh I hope, I hope it never ends
'Cause you're the best of friends

College Hockey:2002-03 Mass.-Lowell Season Preview
Last year's woulda-coulda-shoulda season (if only the three French players hadn't left for the Olympics… if only the NCAA selection criteria had eliminated the "last 16 games" category one year earlier… if only there had been a 16-team tournament) gives way to a new season. In this one, however, the 11 River Hawks who'd been in their final year of eligibility have been replaced by a league-high 14 freshmen. (Only sister school UMass-Amherst matches that number of recruits.)
Without question, the most important new faces are between the pipes. Chris Davidson returns from a year in juniors for his sophomore season and is joined by freshmen Paul Mammola and Dominic Smart. However talented the trio may (or may not) be, they still have the sum total of zero minutes in college hockey game experience.
"If you talk to any coach with three virtually new goaltenders, that's a significant unknown and a concern," says coach Blaise MacDonald. "But what I like is that with all three of them you don't have to worry about their work ethic, their preparation, their focus and determination. So we'll just have to see how it runs its course in terms of ability to stop the puck when it counts. But Chris Davidson is clearly the number one goalie right now."
On the blue line, the River Hawks must replace Chris Gustafson and Josh Allison, but still return a lot of depth and have added four freshmen.
"We have five guys back from last year so that's pretty good in terms of experience," says MacDonald. "Baptiste Amar is in very good condition along with Jerramie Domish. I expect both of them to really be able to make an impact. Darryl Green has put on weight and dropped body fat, which is a good thing. He's gotten stronger. He looks great. Josh Reed is very steady and he's probably going to have his best season this year. Peter Tormey was in and out a little bit, but he's going to be in there battling as well.
"Of the freshmen, Matt Collar may be slightly ahead of the rest, but it's very, very close. They all look good. We have nine defensemen that can all play."
Up front, the clear leader is Ed McGrane (22-15–37), who finally earned the recognition he deserves last year, earning a berth on the All-Hockey East second team. He tied BC's Tony Voce with a league-leading five shorthanded goals.
MacDonald has to hope that he can replace the losses of Yorick Treille and Laurent Meunier more smoothly than when the two left last year with Amar for the Olympics. The River Hawks struggled in their absence; the maturation of returning players and eight newcomers will need to fill the void the two left behind.
"I think we'll see everybody make a five-to-ten percent increase in their production," says MacDonald. "Guys like Steve Slonina will really put up some good numbers. I think Anders Strome will build on what he did last year (14-9–23). I look for Niklas Storm to put up some good numbers.
"The obvious is Eddie McGrane. He's clearly the go-to guy.
"[As for the freshmen], Andrew Martin and Ben Walter clearly can play. They'll be very good players this year and in the future."
The River Hawks will be hard-pressed to reprise last year's performance, but will be an interesting squad to watch. MacDonald's teams at Niagara emphasized speed and skill and, in his first full recruiting class, he appears to have emphasized those factors over size, which has been a Lowell trait in recent years.
"Obviously, we're not as strong because we have 14 freshmen," he says. "But in terms of our conditioning, we're really in peak shape. We're a much quicker team than we were last year and I think our skill level is better. There's much more competition. Right now we have five lines and eight or nine defensemen who can absolutely play.
"We want to utilize our assets and decoy our liabilities, so we're going to employ and implement systems that allow us to pressure pucks and use our speed and quickness and really try to get after it. We'll take some calculated risks along the way, knowing that it will make us a better team come January, February and March."

The impact of parameter variations on the Navy Operational Global Atmospheric Prediction System ensemble performance is examined, and subsets of ensemble members are used to identify the relative impact of the individual parameters. Two sets of parameter variations are considered. The first set has variations in the parametrization of cumulus convection only. The second set has variations in both convection and boundary layer parametrizations. In the tropics, parameter variations significantly increase ensemble spread in wind and temperature fields, and significantly reduce Brier scores for low-level wind speed and temperature, primarily through improvements to the resolution (the impact in the extratropics is negligible). There are also small but significant improvements in the ensemble mean tropical cyclone track forecasts. For the metrics considered here, the second set of parameter variations outperforms the first set. Examination of the spread within ensemble subsets suggests that the parameter with the biggest overall impact is one that helps to control the convective updraft parcel temperature deficit at cloud base level. Variations in the von Kármán constant significantly increase ensemble spread in the low-level tropical winds near the date line, and in the low-level temperature field throughout the tropics and subtropics.

MACON, Ga. – For the third-straight season the Mercer baseball team has earned a win over Georgia Tech, the latest of which coming in the form of a 10-1 home victory over the Yellow Jackets on Tuesday evening at Claude Smith Field.
Mercer (24-8) has now collected at least one win over Georgia Tech (21-7) in each of the last three seasons and owns an impressive 4-2 record in its last six contests against the Yellow Jackets.
"Any time you have a chance to beat a great program like Georgia Tech it's always a great win and we were able to do that tonight due to the play of our seniors," head coach Craig Gibson said. "I thought our seniors really set the tone for us both at the plate and on the mound and this was a big home win for us. We have a really tough stretch coming up so for us to come out and play as well as we did, hopefully we can carry this performance into our weekend series against North Florida."
The Bears won on Tuesday night due to a total team effort that featured an offensive attack that exploded for 13 hits and three home runs and a balanced pitching performance that held the most explosive offense in the country to season-lows of one run and five hits.
Junior Brandon Barker and senior David Randall pitched the first two innings for Mercer and didn't allow a single hit to start the night off for the Bears hurlers.
The home team broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the third when sophomore Chesny Young followed up a double by senior Evan Boyd with an RBI single to left field to give Mercer an early 1-0 lead.
After Georgia Tech tied the game at 1-1 in the top of the fourth, senior Travis Benn provided the Bears with an answer in the bottom half of the frame. Benn lifted a two-run home run that bounced on top of then over the wall in right-center field to push Mercer back in front 3-1.
That is the way things would stay until the Orange and Black put the game out of reach with an emphatic seven-run bottom of the eighth inning. Mercer batted around in the frame and received a three-run home run by Benn and a two-run long ball from junior Sasha LaGarde to make the final score 10-1.
Junior Stephen Glaze earned his second win of the season by throwing two frames of scoreless relief while sophomore Dimitri Kourtis picked up his third save of the season by closing out the contest with three-straight shutout innings.
Benn was the star offensively, finishing 2-for-4 with two home runs and five RBI for his second career multi-home run game. Junior Nick Backlund also went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in the win.
Mercer resumes Atlantic Sun Conference play this weekend with a three-game series at North Florida starting on April 5. Game time is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Friday night at Harmon Stadium.
