text: Last updated (possibly for the last time) May 13, 2012. Eh, what the Hell. People have made releases with less content than this. The long version The Magical Girl mod is something I've been working for significantly longer than my progress indicates. It includes a series of bosses at the endgame, meant to answer the question of "Now that I have Excalibur, what do I kill with it?" The bosses are heavily Touhou inspired, though more in spirit than in terms of actual gameplay, dude to Terraria's bullet limit. To begin accessing the mod's content, you must craft a Goddess Statue. It is created with one Angel Statue, and one of each soul. (Light, Night, Flight, Sight, Might, Fright) Once created, place the statue anywhere, and right click it to 'pray.' Praying at the statue will bestow the "Festival of Magic" debuff. The debuff's duration will be frozen at 10 seconds, and while it is active, entering certain biomes will cause you to be bombarded by bizzare and powerful enemies. Defeating the enemies will cause them to drop "Heart Fire." Collecting Heart Fire will reduce the amount of time on the Festival of Magic debuff. Once it reaches zero, if you're still in one of the implemented Biomes, you will be ambushed by a mini boss. Once defeated, the mini boss will drop you a few emblems- these are the summon items for the main attraction, the Magical Girl bosses. The Magical Girls are powerful enemies, and it will take a clear head and a calm approach to evade their attacks. When at last you have defeated a Magical Girl, they will drop a Crystal. Take the Crystal back to the statue, and you may exchange it for one of three rewards- one for each class. At the moment only two bosses are implemented - Heart/Light/Hallow, and Moon/Night/Corruption. The short version Craft a Goddess Statue with an Angel Statue and one of each soul. Right click it. Go somewhere, beat up stuff. Beat up a midboss. Use the midboss's drop to beat up a little girl. Use the little girl's drop to make a new weapon at the Goddess Statue. Repeat until bored, or no little girls remain. Currently only two little girls implemented- the one at the Hallow, and the one at the Corruption. Weapons Implemented It's not quite as fun if I just outright tell you everything ingame, so here's a whole bunch of one-line descriptions: Heart Rewards Heartbreaker - Unreasonably huge chargable warhammer Heart Cannon - Magical charge beam Cupid's Bow - Shoots entirely too many arrows Moon Rewards Fatal Crescent - The only broadsword in the mod Divine Spark - Freaking huge magical laser Saw Cannon - Buzz Saws that stick to walls Heaven Reward Lightning Rod - Shoots lightning. Is a rod. Download This mod requires tConfig. Get it here: http://www.terrariaonline.com/threads/released-wip-tconfig-a-mod-to-make-mods.52207/ Once that's installed, you can just run this: Installer & Source: http://www.mediafire.com/?6p4eerrvl3xb1pd Known Bugs and Oddities These are known bugs and oddities. Please do not report them. I already know about them. -The Festival of Magic's icon is a shoe. I assure you there is a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. It will be changed eventually. -The Festival of Magic will occasionally glitch out, and end early- sometimes without summoning a midboss. If this happens, you will need to return to the statue and start over. I find it seems more stable if you avoid having any buffs before praying. -The Moon Magical Girl- Selena- does not currently have any animations. This will probably change. Probably. Her panic mode also sucks. -The Witch Hat is horrifically aligned. This will be fixed when I implement the rest of the vanity items. -The entire setup has roughly the same amount of balance as a perfectly smooth sphere on an infinite frictionless plane. Many weapons will inevitably be nerfed or buffed. -Pretty much none of the weapons report their actual damage output in their tooltips. This is in part due to the previous oddity. Planned Stuff Given that I am a lazy jerk, there's a good chance that this mod just plain won't be finished. However, I'm not so much of a jerk so as to make content and then just never release it, so this current version of the mod includes an unfinished version of the Magical Girl of Heaven- Celestia. Because I never finished Celestia's midboss, you simply craft her emblem from nothing. In addition, because I only ever finished one weapon for her, she just drops that, instead of bothering with the crystals. That said, it's not as though I'm done with modding. I am slowly working on a much larger scale project- just don't hold your breath, you won't hear much more about it for a looooong time. v.v If for some reason you care. Five more bosses will be implemented. Four will be Magical Girls- Heaven, Metal, Song, and Madness. The fifth will be a surprise. The four Magical Girls will each follow the pattern already established, and thus will come with a bunch of enemies, a midboss, and three prize weapons. I have a design document explaining this in detail, but I don't feel like making it public. The accessory that gets blown off when a boss goes into panic mode will also be used to craft a vanity set themed after each boss, just because Terraria needs more pretty dresses.

Spanco CSC
Common Service Centre(CSC) is one of the core ICT enabled Initiatives of the Government of India (GoI) under its National E-Governance Plan (NEGP), which aims at setting up service kiosks in villages across India. The CSC scheme is envisaged to be a bottom-up model for delivery of content, services, information and knowledge, that can allow like-minded public and private enterprises - through a collaborative framework - to integrate their goals of profit as well as social objectives, into a sustainable business model for achieving rapid socio-economic change in rural India.
Spanco's objective includes provision of speedy and efficient services in conformity with the service level to the users without any discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste or sex; making it convenient for citizens and other stakeholders to interact with the government and educating the users about the relevant procedures.
CSCs will play the role of an effective "change agent" that would provide a structured platform for socially inclusive community participation for collective developmental activities. This transformation would be undertaken through three important components:
- Network and systems integration solutions
- A Public Private Partnership (PPP) Framework
- Rural entrepreneurship and market mechanisms
- Government policy and support
The CSC is positioned to promote rural entrepreneurship, build rural capacities and livelihoods, and enable community participation and collective action for social change - through a bottom-up model with focus on the rural citizen.
A three-tier structure defines the overall CSC Scheme:
- At the first (CSC) level would be the local Village Level Entrepreneur (VLE) to service the rural consumer in a focused cluster of 5-6 villages.
- At the second/middle level would be an entity termed the Service Centre Agency (SCA) to train, manage and build the VLE businesses
- At the third level would be the agency designated by the State- the State Designated Agency (SDA) - to facilitate implementation of the Scheme within the State, to provide policy, content and financial support to the SCAs
- Common man would be able to procure information speedily and leverage that to reap economic benefits
- IT education and various other trainings offered would also increase the employability for rural citizens in the fields of financial services, micro enterprises, telemedicine and health
- Enable easy, direct and cost-effective delivery of e-governance services to the rural citizens
- Promote rural entrepreneurship, build rural livelihoods, and enable collective community participation for social change
- Provide a platform to civil society organisations and NGOs to communicate with remote and isolated communities and help them in their upliftment
- It would have a significant and lasting impact on rural livelihood in the areas of empowerment, equal opportunity, gender equity, social inclusion, better governance, employment generation and human development
Spanco CSC's objective in Maharashtra is to develop a platform that will enable organizations to align their goals for the benefit of 11 districts in Maharashtra namely, Mumbai, Mumbai Suburban, Thane, Sindhudurg, Raigarh, Solapur, Satara, Ratnagiri, Pune, Sangli and Kolhapur. These centers are named as 'Maha e-Seva Kendra' as part of the initiative of Department of Information Technology, Government of Maharashtra.
With an aim to bring transparency in the system and establish citizen centric governance, the plan is to set up CSCs for the benefit of the rural population through a combination of IT-based and non-IT-based services. Punjab government launched a CSC scheme called 'Gram Suvidha Kendra' and Spanco has been selected as Service Center Agency to be set up Common Service Centers in six revenue divisions of the state through public-private partnership. Spanco Limited will be managing and operating 376 CSCs for 3 zones in the state of Punjab. These are being implemented in the districts of Bhatinda, Mansa, Muktsar, Moga, Faridakot, Ferozepur and Fazilka

Nov. 10, 2011
LOS ANGELES - Head softball coach Kelly Inouye-Perez has announced this year's signing class of five future Bruins to National Letters of Intent. Joining the team in 2013 will be Allexis Bennett (Fullerton, CA/Troy HS), Paige McDuffee (The Woodlands, TX/The Woodlands HS), Brittany Moeai (Carson, CA/Carson HS), Britney Rodriguez (West Covina, CA/South Hills HS) and Mysha Sataraka (Honolulu, HI/Punahou School).
"This recruiting class has great depth and strength," Inouye-Perez said. "They also excel in the classroom and I have no doubt that they will come in and carry on the tradition of excellence at UCLA starting with the 2013 season and beyond."
Allexis Bennett, a left-handed hitting infielder/outfielder from Troy High School in Fullerton, Calif., helped the Warriors to a quarterfinal finish in the Division 4 CIF-Southern Section Championships in 2011. Bennett's junior season statistics were not available at the time of this release, however she did earn All-Freeway League first-team honors after her most recent campaign. Bennett plays club with OC Batbusters, which she helped lead to a pair of championships for the 16 and Under team in 2010.
"Allexis `Chip' Bennett plays with an energy and passion that goes unparalleled," Inouye-Perez said. "As a left-handed hitter, her speed will add another dimension to the Bruin offense. It will be inspiring to see Chip roam the outfield in blue and gold."
Paige McDuffee, a left-handed pitcher/first baseman from The Woodlands High School in The Woodlands, Texas, was named the 2010-11 Gatorade National Softball Player of the Year following her junior campaign. In 2011, she posted a 37-1 record, a 0.97 earned run average and 244 strikeouts in 216 innings. At the plate, McDuffee hit .415 with 42 runs batted in, nine doubles, a .486 on base percentage and a .528 slugging. Last season among her many accolades, she was named Class 5A State Player of the Year, District 14-5A Most Valuable Player, ESPN RISE Ms. Softball USA and All-State. McDuffee helped the Lady Highlanders to a 44-1 record, a No. 1 national ranking and their first-ever Class 5A state championship. She plays club with Sudden Impact Gold.
"Paige is a powerful left-handed pitcher who had an outstanding junior year in Texas," Inouye-Perez said. "She has command of all pitches and we look forward to her joining the Bruin family and the history of powerful pitchers in the circle for UCLA."
Brittany Moeai, a left-handed hitting catcher/infielder from Carson High School in Carson, Calif., hit .580 last season with 12 home runs, 65 runs batted in, 37 runs scored, 11 doubles, seven triples, a .619 on base percentage and a 1.273 slugging during her junior season. Moeai was named the Los Angeles Wave Newspaper Player of the Year, Daily Breeze All-Area First-Team and All-City First-Team. She helped the Colts to the 2011 CIF-Los Angeles City Section Championship. Moeai plays club with OC Batbusters.
"Brittany is an exciting talent behind the plate who we look to impact the lineup immediately," Inouye-Perez said. "Offensively, she has great power and experience. Brittany has won championships in high school and every level of ASA travel ball and will be a great leader for the Bruins."
Britney Rodriguez, a right-handed hitting catcher/infielder from South Hills High School in West Covina, Calif., was a first-team All-CIF, All-State and All-Sierra League honoree in 2011. In her junior season, Rodriguez played in all 29 games and hit .457 with eight home runs, 34 runs batted in, 30 runs scored, eight doubles, a .556 on base percentage and an .826 slugging. The Huskies posted a 21-8 record and advanced to the Division 3 CIF-Southern Section title game for the second straight year. Rodriguez plays club with Corona Angels.
"Britney is a very powerful hitter with an explosive bat that can hit the ball to all fields," Inouye-Perez said. "Defensively, she has the versatility we look for in being able to play the corners and behind the plate."
Mysha Sataraka, a right-handed hitting catcher/infielder from Punahou School in Honolulu, Hawai'i, was named to the Interscholastic League of Honolulu Girls' Softball All-Star first-team in 2011. She helped the Buffanblu to a berth in the State Championships in her junior season and a runner-up finish in her sophomore campaign. Sataraka's junior season statistics were not available at the time of this release. In addition to her softball talents, Sataraka is also a member of the Punahou women's basketball squad.
"Mysha is a strong and athletic person that can have a big impact on the college game," Inouye-Perez said. "A well-rounded athlete in softball and basketball, we look forward to having her make an immediate impact on our team in 2013."

Well, I used to be an avid Nintendo fan up until I moved down to North Carolina in March of '04. After seeing my step-brother play through a lot of Fable and, overall, just realizing the Gamecube uh...sucked for the most part, I bought my own Xbox. In late October or early November I saw him playing KotOR on the Endar Spire as apparently one of his friends let him borrow it. I can't really remember, but I guess I played it myself on some of Taris and maybe Dantooine a while, loved it, and then bought my own platinum hits copy. I just hooked up my xbox to see the date on my first playthrough and it was November 28. So, I never even heard of KotOR for over a year and a half and I got it sometime in early-mid November '04.
I don't remember when exactly I got TSL. I know it was in '05, relatively close to to the release date. I bought the guide with it, too. I probably should have checked the date while I had my Xbox connected eh? Ah well, I know my last, and second, playthrough was in '06. Since then, whenever KotOR creeps into my mind, it's the the first KotOR. I don't remember too much about TSL. Once Team Gizka finishes though, I'll be buying it for pc, for sure.
I've always envied pc owners of games like KotOR because of one thing: mods. I don't even want to play 360 Oblivion anymore after seeing the kinds of mods it has on pc. Lately, I had been looking up mods for KotOR as I was getting interested in it again. After seeing how much better the game could be with all the mods, I bid on a brand new pc version on eBay and won. I'm currently playing it with lots of mods installed.

Cee-Lo Green's had a hell of a few months, hasn't he? "F(uck/orget) You." The Voice. The Grammys. The Muppet outfit from the Grammys. In case you missed any of that, Jimmy Fallon reminded viewers of it all last night, and the Lo was more than happy to go along with it:
No bombshells here, just a few tidbits:
- Cee-Lo says he recorded "Fuck You" after getting frustrated about how long the label was taking with his album. Wouldn't be the first time that an artist bragged about how their smash hit was recorded just for kicks.
- Cee-Lo mentioned he'd worked with Voice co-coach Christina Aguilera on a song cut from the Burlesque soundtrack. We'd love to hear it—if the soundtrack's anything like Bionic, all the best collaborations were probably cut or shoved onto the bonus disc. (Santigold, Ladytron, we weep for you.)
- There's also yet another explanation of The Voice's rules and a preview clip, as if there weren't enough of both on the show proper. Has a reality show ever needed this much hand-holding?

Labor Day may be over, but barbecue is a year-round venture in the slick, sumptuous pages of Texas BBQ: Photographs by Wyatt McSpadden (University of Texas Press, 2009). The Austin photographer's pictorial homage to fire, smoke and meat celebrates the ubiquitous barbecue culture in the Lone Star state, and these photographs just might make you want to jump into your car and drive like mad to see for yourself some of the places that McSpadden has captured so beautifully.
The Amarillo-born McSpadden has been a photographer for 35 years, doing "primarily editorial and advertising photography," he says. He also did numerous assignments for Texas Monthly that took him straight into the heart of small town life in Central Texas -- "the barbecue epicenter of the world," he says.
Those countless trips and thousands of miles formed the basis for the book that McSpadden calls "a labor of love. I love to travel and I loved the places I went. I really like being in small towns. People are so friendly and the pace is so different. And of course I love barbecue, and I love photography. So there was no downside to this."
With a Foreword by novelist Jim Harrison and Afterword by food writer John Morthland, the book was designed by McSpadden's wife Nancy McMillen. They met while she was an associate art director at Texas Monthly. McSpadden describes the collaboration as "a great experience. She has a terrific eye and is a wonderful designer, so it was a great fun project to do together."
The book features evocative shots from LaGrange, Luling, Lockhart, Taylor, Mason, and more, featuring portraits of pitmasters, the meat, and always, the smoke and fire.
"I knew a lot of those places and had shot a number of them for different assignments," explains McSpadden. "The very first place I went and photographed anew was Prause's Meat Market in La Grange while was a wonderful place and family owned. A traditional meat market. I started there and just began to go through the list. I went to a lot of places I hadn't been to before and revisited a number of places and sort of shot them from a different perspective for the book."
The success of the book (rave reviews on amazon.com are keeping sales moving) hasn't changed McSpadden in the least. A self-described "true freelance, I'm happy and eager to work for anyone who will have me." The small towns he visits have certainly welcomed him. "I never went anyplace where people weren't happy to see me. All of us would love that. We all want to be welcomed wherever we go."

Mayor Judy Ritter's basic pitch, for anyone interested in visiting the City of Vista for the first time, would include this information:
"I would tell them that Vista is a well-run city, we're family-oriented, more of an urban city now. We used to have a lot of avocado groves in our area, and we still like to keep that small-town feel ... ," but she would also add the entertainment options for those looking for more.
"We have a lot to offer in Vista. We have the Moonlight [Ampitheatre], we have the Wave [water park], a Business Park with over 800 businesses, we have the breweries in our historic Downtown coming alive, and the Krikorian [movie theater] Center."
In thinking about her efforts as a city councilmember and then in her role as Mayor, she states that at the local level of government, working together with people actually does "make a difference in our community." Ritter adds that while some change perhaps "takes a little longer" than it might in the private sector, and while "it is usually somewhat of a compromise on how we might personally want the change to be," she states that when she looks back she feels strongly that "... we have made so many positive changes in Vista over the years."
Fitness Industry
Asked what three words might best describe her, she chooses "energetic, empathetic" and "businesswoman" is given as her third choice. And those seem quite appropriate, given her background.
Before she ever thought of running for office, Ritter worked as an aerobics instructor [Jazzercise Inc] and also as the owner and CEO for Jazzercise Records and Courthouse Fitness Club.
Jazzercise is known to many as being the largest dance-fitness program in the world, and of her time spent as an entrepreneur/businesswoman she says in a recent interview:
"Running for office was never in my thought process back then. I was in the fitness industry, I taught Jazzercise for twenty-five years in Vista. I owned a music business [Jazzercise Records]." When she first started in the fitness industry, there was only one person who even did Jazzercise, she explained, and that one person trained Ritter and seven others to see if they could make a program which might work with other people. So Ritter trained with the others.
And then Ritter taught in Vista. Of course, music was essential to the classes she taught, and early on she realized there was a problem she and other instructors kept running into. Says Ritter:
"... I would go to music stores and run into other instructors, and they would be buying music." Sometimes she would be told "We just sold out of that record [music on vinyl]" and it left the future Mayor and the other instructors quite out of luck as far as their efforts to track down new music was concerned. So she made a deal with the others. "If you each pay me $5/month I'll buy your music for you."
It was a deal they definitely wanted, because it was a service they desperately needed as instructors. Ritter knew what type of music they needed as well, likely an important factor in the offer.
"So that's how I started the music business." But as most business owners understand, starting up is one thing, and growing is another. Ritter used her good business sense and knowledge of the industry to grow her business from that humble beginning. "When I retired from that business ... I was then buying music for about 5500 instructors around the world."
As a businesswoman, she was also required to keep up with technology changes. Which meant obtaining the music which first came recorded onto vinyl discs, followed by audio cassette tapes, and then the transition into music loaded onto compact discs.
Experience, Challenges
Ritter, when asked her opinion of what sets her apart from the other Mayoral candidate, says she wants people to know of her previous years as an elected local leader and her business background.
She counts 45 years in business, not just as a CEO, but she also has worked for General Motors before moving to Vista. "I think that that sets me apart. I've also been on the council for a long time, so I have a history here [and] I know what works."
When asked her opinion on what the biggest accomplishment was in the previous four year term, Ritter says decisively that getting out from under the "structural deficit" was huge. It was millions of dollars. She also adds:
"But ... when I was first on the council, there was no Krikorian Center." She sees many enjoying the local businesses now. "I am a person who tends to look forward." Her goal initially was to make Vista "a destination place" for people. She believes she is seeing it now, and says there are more "good things" coming.
But Ritter understands there are many challenges as well. She lists several basic items that are important in her opinion: the economy, keeping the budget balanced, and infrastructure. Then she adds this bit about what economic experts say:
"They say 'recession every seven to ten years,' but it's been seven, and we haven't really recovered yet. But I look at that, that's one of the biggest challenges."
She believes in being proactive, however, and wants to boost the amount in the City's reserves in addition to keeping the budget balanced. "You know, we don't know what the economy will be in the future ... I look at that." Then Ritter adds that "just keeping the city on an even keel: fixing the roads, having enough money," even if the state of California makes another play to take money from the city as they did in 2012 with redevelopment.
Of plans and pedestrians
"That was a huge hit that we took," Ritter says about the matter. There were plans made based on the idea of redevelopment. South Santa Fe originally would have been a re-routed road, but Ritter says they had to move to "Plan B" which she states is still a good plan but it is a "modified plan." She hopes it will be the start of more good projects, though.
"The walls are standing up now, and [the S. Santa Fe] project should be finished ... by next spring."
"They are going to narrow the street and put a [roundabout] right about Gil's Feed Supply [306 S Santa Fe Ave.], and then narrow the street down so the sidewalks are wider so pedestrians can walk there. And it will slow traffic down." She expects some people will be happy, and others not so much.
Ritter says that she enjoys what she sees around town, and another thing she is proud of is the displayed "artwork" around Vista.
"I love the artwork," Ritter says. "We didn't even have an art commission when I came on the city council." That was one of the things [former Vista Councilmember and Mayor, Gloria McClellan] and Ritter wanted, however.
Of the paintings on the utility boxes, the sculpures, etc. Ritter says: "They just outdo themselves everytime. .... That's the art commission in charge of that."

Not necessarily. My mare loves being in a mixed herd, in fact, thrives in a mixed herd. She is currently in with a gelding just now and it is very harmonious. She does get a bit fruity when she is in season though but as he is gelded, there's not much he can do about it. Initially, I'd introduce them in separate paddocks, next to one another so they can interact with each other across the fence. Then if all is well, after a week or so, pop them in together and monitor their interaction but don't be in a rush to put them in together, make sure they have been living in adjacent paddocks with no "issues" before you put them in together. You will be able to tell at this point whether they are going to get on or not. The yard I am on is full of mixed herds and there has never been an issue. Some yards do not mix sexes, it just depends. Good luck.

My mare has lived with 3 geldings (not at the same time) since I've had her, and she's currently with 2 geldings and another mare.
One of the geldings she got on really well with, the others she'll tolerate. I've never known any fighting just a bit of bucking and excitement at the beginning, but after a couple of days, things always settled down.

Not necessarily, we have had a mixture of horses coming and going with our lot. Get them used to each other over the fence then put down a few piles of hay, turn them out together and see what happens.

I have Stallions, mares, geldings, colts, fillys, yearlings and young foals, i have many horses, and all horses are different so they may not fight as i have 3 massive fields and ovbiously have a mixture of them in the fields none fight, but we have had fights in the past with some other horses, i just put them with other horses and their fine. Try putting you two horses in seperate paddocks, but try get the two paddocks next to each other so they can pop their heads other the fence and see each other, there may be a bit of squealing, but dont worry. Then after a few months put them together and keep an eye out, bung down some food and see how it goes first there might be more squealing but if it gets to rough go back to how it was (the two paddocks next to each other, also you could bring them both in and groom them and tie them a couple of metres away from each other so they can hopefully And try bonding, but yet again if it starts getting stupid, keep them away. The may be fine together and just have a run around.

o yes... what will happen is yes they will fight but that is establishing dominence and the rolls of the "heard" once they find out who is friends and who isnt ... they will be fine and once they find out who the head horse is

Sometimes....... I have a mare and gelding in the same pasture. They are best friends and love to do everything together. I suggeste that you put them in together during the day and see how they react. Then, sperate during meals, and at night. If they get along find try feeding them together. Or, may put them together at night. But, for now see how they are during the day. :)

no this is not strictly true my gelding lives happily with the other mares in the field. there will be an assement of dominence but should straighten out.

I wouldn't take what they said forgranted, but it's not definetely true. Just be careful and aware of them. Maybe you could try introdcing them in the yard from time to time, or you could try taking them on rides together!
Good Luck, Be Careful!

Coach Ruffin McNeill discussed Friday's game against SMU with the media Monday.
Nov. 22, 2010
GREENVILLE, N.C. – First-year East Carolina University Head Football Coach Ruffin McNeill addressed members of the media prior to this week's game against SMU. The following are selected comments:
On The Rice Game
"The Rice game was one in which they out-executed us. I thought they did a good job offensively moving the football. They executed well and had a good game plan.
"We had seen the 'Wildcat' formation, or 'Wild Hog' as some people call it, versus Tulane. They did a good job with it, added some things to it and executed.
"Watching the film, it was just like I said after the game. Defensively, we didn't get off blocks well and didn't play a good football game. My hat is off to Rice offensively, they did a really good job.
"I thought our offense moved the ball well. We had a couple of picks where I thought we maybe tried to get a score back too quickly. [Quarterback] Dominique Davis maybe forced it a little bit. But, we did some things and took advantage of some things Rice was doing defensively. I was pleased with them except for the two interceptions. [Offensive coordinator] Lincoln [Riley] feels the same way about the interceptions and like they could have played better. From my point of view, I thought they did a good job. We just need to get the ball back to them a little bit more.
"Special teams were very solid. We got one good kickoff return out to the 35-yard line. I thought they did another solid job for us.
"It was a game where I thought we prepared well last week. I knew we prepared well; we had great practices. I thought the kids practiced well and that we had a good game plan going in. My hat is off to Rice. They did a better job and deserved to win. They beat us down there at their place."
"What June has added to it, which he had a little bit at Hawai'i when I faced him out there, is a running back. Zach Line is one of the top backs in the league. He has almost 1,200 yards rushing and has eight touchdowns. He's a really good running back. He is 6-foot-1, 235 pounds and has good speed and vision. They do a good job blocking for him on the run and getting him touches. They use him a lot on screen passes, too. He only has 13 receptions, but they are all highly effective.
"The wide receivers, which June has always had wherever he has been, are led by Aldrick Robinson. He's 5-foot-10, 178 pounds and will be an outside guy. He really catches the football and leads them in receiving yards. He has over 1,000 yards this season. The top reception guy is Cole Beasley. He's an inside guy, like our 'H' or 'Y' here, and probably most like Michael Bowman. Beasley catches the ball well, has 70 receptions this season and does a good job getting open. He's a release valve for Padron. Darius Johnson is another receiver who we have to be aware of. They're all in the 5-foot-10, 170 pound range and do a good job catching the ball.
"Their offensive line is experienced. They are all juniors who do a good job in this offense. I remember when June first took over, that was a spot he was worried about, but felt good with the guys he had. I can see why on film. They do a good job. They have given up some sacks, but overall they do a good job.
"They throw the football like we do. June has also added a tight end a little bit more than he had in the past with Patrick Fleming. He has helped them advance the offense a little bit. He's 6-foot-4, 242 pounds. They use him a lot in formations, which is different from the Run & Shoot June used to run. Offensively, they pose a big threat for us."
On SMU's Defense
"They do a lot of things on defense. They blitz, change looks and blend really well up front and on the back end in coverage. Marquis Frazier is the top defensive lineman. Taylor Thompson is their other top lineman. They're both very active and do a good job getting after the passer. They are moved around a lot with stunts and do a good job. We have to be very aware of those two guys up front on our offensive line.
"Linebackers are really the strength of the defense with Taylor Reed and Ja'Gared Davis. They're both young kids who are solid players. Taylor is 5-foot-11, 215 pounds while Ja'Gared is 6-foot-1, 216 pounds. They're both among the top four on the team in tackles. Taylor leads the team with 111 and is very active.
"In the secondary, Chris Banjo is really athletic at safety. He was a linebacker in high school who I remember recruiting. He's very fast and physical. Sterling Moore is a cornerback who is 5-foot-10, 204 pounds. He's the best corner on the team and has two interceptions. He has good speed and strength and does a good job for them."
On SMU's Special Teams
"Matt Szymanski is the punter and is averaging 41 yards per punt, close to what Ben Ryan is doing for us. Matt is very solid. The kickoff return guys are Darryl Fields and Kenneth Acker. The punt returners are Darius Johnson, who is also a receiver, and Richard Crawford. They do a good job on special teams."
On Preparing For SMU
"We have to have a great week of practice. A character week is how I've termed it. We're playing a very, very good football team. They have a lot of season left in their minds. They are bowl eligible, had a really solid game against Marshall and moved the ball well.
"It's a short week and we know we have to have great preparation. We have to be smart and make sure we get quality work in and not as much time on the field with preparing for a really tough game against SMU Friday."
On The Defensive Alignment And Injuries
"We're lining up in the right spots, we just have to be physical and talented enough to get off blocks and make plays. There is no magical defense. You can have some plays where you have a guy come free, but a lot of times it boils down to beating the guy in front of you and getting off the block.
"Losing Justin Dixon, Michael Brooks and Marke Powell is tough. I'm not going to lie, those are our three best defensive linemen. Josh Smith, who is one of the best, is playing his tail off right now. I can't hide it; we lost three of our best defensive players. We can't replace them. Those injuries hurt.
"Overall, it's not anything about our guys lining up in the wrong places. We're playing a base defense, something they can handle. The biggest thing I've asked of them is to have clear minds and fast legs. They're not mixed up. They know exactly what to do. We haven't overloaded them. It comes to a point where you have to beat the guy in front of you and make a play.
"You certainly miss those guys with injuries, they were three of our best linemen. Hopefully we'll get them back by the spring, but that may be cutting it close. I might not get those guys back until fall camp."
On How To Improve The Defense
"We have to get their confidence back first of all. It starts with that. I only know one way and that's to keep working. There's no substitute for that. We're not going to be able to invent anything between now and Friday. We have to make sure we get their confidence back first.
"I want them to stay simple. I don't want them to try and add anything on defense. I want them to know exactly where to line up, which they do. It wasn't anything to do with missed alignments. We just have to keep working on fundamentals.
"We're not going to go out there and be too physical with them as Friday will be here before you know it. It's a short week so we have to be smart with that. We'll keep working. The kids did a great job last night. We had a great week last week. I was very pleased with it.
"Last night the kids came out and were flying around. The coaches were getting after them and working. We'll stay the course. We'll get them their confidence back and keep fighting."
On Potential Offense-Defense Issues
"It starts up top. In our staff room, there is no finger pointing going on. The first thing [defensive coordinator] Brian [Mitchell] did was say something to Lincoln. The first thing Lincoln did was say something to Brian. It starts with me. I'm not that way, I'm not going to allow it to happen and it hasn't been a problem.
"Within the staff, we have great chemistry. As I mentioned last week, that's one of the reasons why we're effective. It's about the staff chemistry and making sure you have the right guys up there. If everybody is undefeated every year you wouldn't have those problems, but there is going to be some adversity. The staff chemistry is very important.
"The kids have a lot of pride, too. Going into fall camp, an issue that was big for me was making sure we designated the right leaders. Those leaders, offensively and defensively, are together. Josh and Dwayne Harris came by. They're ready to go. Jonathan Williams and Willie Smith also stopped in. Dominique always comes by for a minute. Those guys are our leaders and they're not doing anything like that.
"It starts with me and the type of environment I've created and will create as long as I'm here. Everybody antes up and puts in. There is no one play or player that will ever win or lose a game. I've been in it a long time and there is a series or group of plays the game turns on. Sometimes there are four, five or six plays in a game that determine the outcome.
"Chemistry is something I've always started with when selecting a staff. As a football team, we all put in the same amount, ante up and work. We all win and we all lose. There is no one play. Sometimes people say it was a field goal that lost the game. It wasn't the field goal that lost the game. If other plays were made in the game, it wouldn't have come down to the field goal. That's what I believe."
On Senior Day
"I think we were picked to maybe win two games by some people. I didn't think that way. These seniors have done everything I've asked. They work hard and really care about being successful. I want to send them out on the right note. I know leaving here on the right note was very important to me. That has been mentioned many times. I'm looking forward to preparing for it this week.
"We'll be losing some guys who have had great careers and some who have had adversity. Some have had some tough things happen to them. They're bouncing back, hanging in there and progressing as men. You have some guys who have been around the program for a while and have played a lot of games and snaps. Others have not played a lot.
"Either way, their reps are running short. I want them to enjoy this journey and enjoy today, tomorrow and Friday."
On Ty Holmes' Playing Time
"Melvin Patterson got a stinger and we're trying to get Ty Holmes there. Ty had practiced well. He is still a young player who has to keep learning."
On The Goal For This Week
"We need to make sure we prepare well and keep the team focused and fresh. We'll have shorter practices, starting tonight. We have to get our work, meetings and practices done quickly. We have to get them on and off the field.
"Tuesday will be a normal day for us. Wednesday morning we'll get some work done so the guys who are not dressing for Friday's game can take off and go home. Thursday will be a normal day before a game. We have to get them prepared and make sure we keep our eyes on the prize. We have some things to play for, too.
"Watching the game film from SMU last year, it's amazing how quickly you can forget. I saw Linval Joseph, Scotty Robinson and C.J. Wilson lined up on defense. They're not there anymore and they're pretty good football players. If you have those guys up front, that makes it a lot easier. Watching that game last year was a little bit different. I'd like to have those guys back, but I can't.
"We have to get the guys we have ready for SMU and the bowl game."
On The Character Of His Team
"They have been in tough times and hung in there. We have guys who fight, keep fighting and don't give up. Leaving last night after that tough loss, you saw a lot of enthusiasm out of them. I like our team. We'll bounce back and get up fighting.
"There are life lessons that happen in coaching. Getting knocked down and getting up is one of them. Staying the course and believing in one another is a second. I feel good about the character of this team.
"Everything starts with me. I relish the challenge to prepare for this week against SMU. I'm not afraid of that; I'm looking forward to it."
On The Possibility Of Winning The Conference USA East Division
"What's being discussed is making sure we have a good practice tonight and tomorrow. They'll read it and hear it, but what I'm focused on is having a really good practice tonight. Let's get through the next two days with good sessions.
"I've also discussed making sure we have a great day for the seniors. I've talked about this being a character week. We got knocked down and have to get up again. That's what my approach is. How we're going to do that is to have a very short and crisp practice tonight. I'm not looking to Tuesday until we finish with a great Monday.
"I talked about doing your best today and preparing well so the seniors can go out on the right note."
On Learning From The Short Week Before The UAB Game
"I learned the best ways to approach tonight and the Monday practice. This is a little bit of a longer week and tonight we'll go in helmets in jerseys. I have to take the pads off them a little bit. We'll get pad work tomorrow.
"I thought we had a good plan the UAB week. We backed off time wise and thought quality as a coaching staff. That's how I'm approaching it."
On What He's Thankful For This Thanksgiving
"I'm thankful for being here first of all. I'm thankful for this football team, being back in Greenville and having the chance to come back. I'm thankful for the group of coaches I work with. They are great people and coaches who work hard. They don't ask for anything, they just work. I like that about them.
"I like our kids. They've been a group that has accepted a new coach and staff very quickly. Those guys have stayed the course, even through some tough times. If you would have seen them come out of the office today and the looks in their eyes, they're ready to go. I'm thankful for that.
"We'll have a Thanksgiving meal Wednesday that I'm looking forward to. Erlene has fed the team most of the time. It's usually about 40-50 kids over."
On Dominique Davis' Shoulder
"It's a little sore after taking a couple good shots on it Saturday, but he took the reps last night and moved around. He's a tough kid. He'll be fine and bounce back."

Masahiko Tsugawa Movies and Career Information

Actor and Director
Jan 02, 1940
Actor and Director
Masahiko Tsugawa, born Masahiko Kato on January 2, 1940 in Kyoto, Japan is a Japanese actor and director. He made his debut at the age of 16 in the K? Nakahira film Crazed Fruit in 1956. Tsugawa's family was heavily involved in the film industry since before his birth. Tsugawa attended school until dropping out of the Waseda University Graduate School to pursue acting alone. He gradually grew in popularity and appeared in films like Otoko wa tsurai yo: Watashi no tora-san and Godzilla, Mothra and King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack. He was eventually adopted as one of director Juzo Itami's favourite actors, and went on to appear in nearly every one of his movies since Tampopo. Tsugawa recently debuted as a director under the pseudonym Makino Masahiko with his film Nezu no Ban. He chose this name because he is the nephew of the Japanese director Masahiro Makino, his mother's brother. Legend has it that Tsugawa was so awed by the director while watching him at work as a young child that he asked if he could use Makino as his last name should he ever be a director, because of the similarities of the first names. Tsugawa comes from an illustrious film family.

Madeleine Peyroux: Instead
Madeleine Peyroux (vocals, acoustic guitar)
Bare Bones (Rounder 3272)
Madeleine Peyroux (vocals, acoustic guitar), Vinnie Colaiuta (drums), Jim Beard (piano),
Larry Klein (bass, percussion, Estey), Dean Parks (electric guitar).
Composed by J. Coryell and Madeleine Peyroux.
Recorded: Hollywood & Santa Monica, no date given (CD released in 2009)
Rating: 87/100 (learn more)
The knock on Madeleine Peyroux is that she just imitates Billie Holiday. But that's not fair. For one thing, Billie Holiday had a much more modern sounding rhythm section back in 1937. Peyroux's on-the-beat guitar strumming here, matched by the respectful chug-uh-lug of the rest of the band, might have been cutting edge during the Coolidge administration, but is more retro than retro these days. Yet if you checked out some of the other tracks on this CD, you would think you had stumbled into a Steely Dan session by mistake.
As you may have already guessed by now, if you want to enjoy this music, you best be advised to forget your jazz bearings. The jazz elements here are just for show and, like the backdrops on a movie set, you shouldn't expect them to be up to code. Peyroux has bigger aims in sight than pleasing finicky folks like me. She wants to be a major pop diva, in the spirit of other artists produced by Larry Klein (Joni Mitchell, Tracy Chapman). And she just might pull it off. Heck, she's halfway there already, having shown up in TV ad campaigns for both Dockers and Old Navy. I am rooting for Peyroux to make the most of this crossover success. She has a sweet, informal way of phrasing, and infuses her personality into every line she delivers. Yes, you can hear hints of Lady Day, but they are just hints. In truth, Peyroux has an immediately recognizable style all her own.
Jazz folks shouldn't complain that she has forgotten us in her quest for stardom. An artist like this is just what the commercial music scene needs nowadays. In any event, it would be a shame if people just associated this singer with khakis and denims.

According to Red Bank Veterinary Hospital, the dog who was allegedly tossed from a moving vehicle on the Garden State Parkway in Holmdel Township, N.J., last weekend has been released from their care and her owners have been located and questioned.
On Monday afternoon, the following information was released to the Facebook followers of the Red Bank Veterinary Hospital:
Buddy Amato, chief law enforcement officer for the Monmouth County SPCA said the dog's owners were located but they are not suspects in the case, and the dog was taken from them without their consent prior to the event that occurred on the Garden State Parkway.
The veterinary hospital added:
The owners sincerely thank everyone for their support but do not wish to come forward at this time. They have asked us to share these photos of Lema, which were taken right before she was discharged from the hospital.
From the family: "Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive and diligent in helping our girl."
The incident took place between noon and 1 p.m. in the southbound express lanes of the Garden State Parkway near exit 116 on Saturday. After being thrown from the moving car, the mixed breed terrier was struck by another vehicle - the incident left the dog with critical, life-threatening injuries.
A witness had phoned 9-1-1 and stayed with the injured dog until the authorities arrived; State Trooper Tara Karagias responded to the scene and rushed the critically injured dog to a veterinary hospital.
The veterinary hospital commented on the need for veterinary funds for the injured dog, stating:
In response to those who want to donate money to assist with Lima's initial medical bills incurred when she was first found and under the guardianship of the Monmouth County SPCA, please contact the Monmouth County SPCA at (732) 542-0040 about their Duchess Fund.
Chief Amato is still looking for information about the incident, specifically a description of the vehicle. Anyone who has information on this case is asked to phone 732-312-7153. A $1,000 reward is being offered for information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case.

If it's super cute I am definitely willing to pay a good amount. Thank you!!! Lucy"

In addition the Library contains over 100 articles covering every topic on the course, details on putting techniques into practice and the science behind them. Each week a sleep expert holds a 'live group seminar' on the Community, and answers the most popular questions from the previous week.
If you have any reason to believe you are suffering from a pre-existing medical condition, or if you frequently struggle to stay awake during the day or fall asleep during the daytime without intending to, then please consult your doctor before starting the Sleepio course.
The CBT techniques within Sleepio have been shown to be highly effective in providing long term relief from even very persistent poor sleep. Many participants see benefits within weeks or even days. However it is not a 'passive' solution; the program requires sustained and significant effort in order for improvements to be made. Many manage to make this effort with support from others in the Sleepio Community, but it is important that you are aware of this before starting the Sleepio course.

Frank Del Rio, who, along with former Crystal Cruises honcho Joe Watters, will lead the newly formed Oceana Cruises is back from Marseilles. Details continue to change as the company is taking shape. First thing to know: the proposed new cruise line -- Oceana will not be "official" until legal due diligence is complete, which Del Rio anticipates will be mid-November. As reported last week, Oceana will build its foundation by leasing Renaissance Cruises' much-loved R1 and R2. Details are still being firmed up but R1 will be named Regatta and the ship is anticipated to launch July 5, 2003 in Europe.
After a 14-day Barcelona-to-London inaugural, Regatta will sail a series of two week Baltic itineraries out of London, then return to the Mediterranean for late summer/early fall voyages between Venice and Barcelona. Following a transatlantic voyage, Regatta will then offer two week trips in South America between Santiago and Buenos Aires before finishing up in the Caribbean with a home port in Barbados.
Plans for R2 are highly sketchy -- there's no name, yet -- but the ship is anticipated to launch next October and will also sail spring/summer Europe itineraries before heading to Australia/New Zealand and the Far East for our winter (their summer).
Del Rio says Oceana is interested in leasing the R5 but has not yet committed. "We will decide late summer 2003," he says. "If she comes on board it'll be spring 2004."
In the meantime, the company is working to hire staff, set up offices on both the east and west coasts, and make plans. Del Rio told Cruise Critic that the R1 and R2, both docked in Marseilles, are in superb condition -- thanks in part to the 70 crew members retained by Cruiseinvest, which took over sales and marketing efforts when the fleet went dark last fall. "Cruiseinvest has done an exceptional job in keeping these ships in perfect condition," he says. "All we need to do is fuel her up and she's ready to go."
But, he hastens to add, while the ships may seem familiar --the experience will not be Renaissance redux. "Oceana is not an ode to Renaissance," he says, noting that there will be significant changes from the outside -- the ships' exteriors will be painted white -- on in. "First of all this company is going to be successful," Del Rio says. "At its core value we care about customers and we care about travel agents. Renaissance, early on, blatantly was not committed to customer service or the travel agent community." Additionally, Oceana Cruises, despite anticipating that fares will be in the neighborhood of a quite-reasonable $200 per person per diem, nevertheless plans to offer many of the benefits of the luxury lines. Which are? "The mid-size ship," he points out. "The high percentage of verandah cabins and fine cuisine."
Feel skeptical? "The reason we can offer this without charging $500 a day," he says, "is because we've made a lucrative deal for these vessels."
The standard onboard look will remain Renaissance-like. There will still be four specialty restaurants (one will be a steakhouse, called Hemingways; another will be an Italian restaurant). Inside, the ships, which, despite their distinctively different names, will be identical, will follow Renaissance's no-smoking policy (though smoking is permitted in designated deck areas).
Still, look for significant upgrades, the most important of which will be cuisine, which was never a Renaissance specialty. Del Rio says the company plans to spend 25 percent more on food than luxury level cruise lines like Seabourn and Silversea though he declines to specify a figure. "The hallmark for Oceana will be dining," he says. "When you have four open seating restaurants and fail to take advantage of those venues you shortchange the passenger."
Among other planned changes, which are mostly cosmetic, include:
*The design of specialty bars that focus on a particular theme, such as malt scotch, grappa, and martinis.
*Creation of a humidor -- an enclosed room tucked into what was once called the Horizon Lounge -- that will sell Cuban cigars, brandy and cognac.
*"Four Seasons-quality" mattresses on beds and duvet covers instead of bedspreads.
*Redesign of the ship's Italian restaurant to be more colorful and less formal.
*Upgrading of linens, china, cutlery, towels.
Ultimately, Del Rio says, "420,000 guests cruised on the R-series vessels and there is a real community feeling out there about these vessels. What I can assure all those 420,000 is that if they liked the old they'll absolutely love the new one because we've planned significant improvements based on their feedback. Oceana Cruises will be fresh and new and keep customers in mind first."

mkt capacitor vs mylar capacitor
Gooday all,
What would be the advantage to use a MKT capacitor over a Mylar capacitor on the signal input stage of an amplifier ? Which is the better ?
MKT = metalized polyester
mylar = polyester film
So the basic dielectric is the same for both. Metalized film caps have a higher capacity density and are a touch less linear. Either should be fine as an input coupling cap. If you need extremely good linearity, the next big step up is polypropylene - at the cost of a physically bigger part, obviously.
Keep in mind that capacitor nonlinearity only matters when a significant part of the signal voltage actually drops over it. Hence the common practice of oversizing electrolytics by a factor of 10. If you do want a highpass without incurring a distortion penalty, you have to go film.

Debs and Socialist Unity
"Unity of Socialist elements in the
United States" has become the hobby
horse wkh which some Socialist-party-ites
are parading in order to lure somo
stray comrades back into the folds of
that organization. Some of these per
sons are well meaning. But they do not
understand the fundamental diffences
between Lenin and Seheidemann, (if
we may express principles in names of
those who represent them). But the
greater number of them feel an uncon
trollable longing for the nickels and
dimes of the tens of thousands of
members, that the late executive com
mittee of the late Socialist Party has
thrown out. The deep love of these
right wingers for the Non-Partis:m
League and the coming Labor Party
was prevented from ending in a happy
marriage by the lefts, and with a tem
per, only inspired by unsatisfied love,
they concocted a scheme to get rid of
the obstacle. So they expelled the left
wing, nearly half the party and half
of the half that was left them quit in
digsust. But now other obstacles pre
vent the final eonsumation of the mar
liage, so these politicians realize, first
that they have robbed their psrrty of
1he only excuse it had for posing as
a revolutionary party by throwing out
the revolutionists, and second they
have, and this is something to be still
more regreted, lost countless nickels
rind dimes which otherwise would have
probably found their wav into their
We neither have time, nor do we
desire to here investigate deeper into
the Teal cause of the unity move.
Suffice it to say that in the desire to
bring about unity they bit upon the
scheme to induce Eugene V. Debs to
aecept the. nomination for president
from the Socialist Party, as undesirable
as his candidacy may have been to
them otherwise. And Debs, noble heart,
bent down by the knowledge of tho
feud within the ranks of the socialists,
ricecpts. and so unconsciously helps 1o
play the game of the scheming gents in
the Socialist Party.
Without going into the question
deeply by writing a necessarily ox
tensive treatise on the fundamentals
of communism there might be said
just this about the question of unity:
We would advice Debs to read the
arguments filed by Mr. Stedman in
behalf of tho Socialist Party in the
court action of that party in Detroit,
Mich. We would further advice him
to road the transcript of the Albanv
Should the communists unite with
Stedman, who denounces them in a
capitalist court as enemies of capital
ist society, in order to induce that
court to take property, bought and
paid for by the defendants, away from
them and turn it over tc the law
abiding Socialist Party?
Or shall the communists unite with
Mr. llilquit who assured the Sub-COnv
mittcc of the Assembly in Albanv
that the socialist surely would shoulder
a gun and fight for ''their'' country
should the Bolshevists "attack" it?
Or should the communists form a
happy union with. Mr. Waldman, . who
swore to the ronviction, that he would
by all means prefer the! capitalist con
stitution of the capitalist, ridden state
of New York to the dictatorship of
the working class as desired by the
Or should the communists unite with
Mr. Bcrger, whoso hatred for them is
only exceeded by his love for capital
ism, and compared to whom even
Scheideman is a raving "radical".'
Now all these porsons and their acts
arc mere incidents that can not de
termine the possibility or advisability
of unity. These incidents, however,
show us the fundamental differences
in the conception of these "Socialists"
and the communists. These differences
rrove conclusively that there can be no
unity between tho two, except the
communists betray the working class
hose advanceguard they are, or
these "Socialists" desert the capital
ist" class whose rear guard they are.
One is as impossible as the other with
out one of the two giving up its nrin-
ciplos and accepting tho principles of
the other. And Debs surely would not
want the communists to desert the
working class in order to strengthen
the rearguard of capitalism!
What does unity meant
When is unity desirable!
For many years the fight between
the right and the left in the German
Social Democratic Party was carried
on. The split was always avoided with
tl & merely sentimental plea for unity.
Unity of organization was thus pre
served. Put did the German working class
profit by that unity!
It did" not!
On the historical 4th of August, 114,
the left was overwhelmed by the right
and, for a moment at least, aquiesced
in the betray of the German working
class by the Social Democratic Party.
And when at last the left realized
the impossibility of unity of organiza
tion when unity of purpose is lacking,
aud when they finally broke away,
they had to do it at a time when
their chances for organization were
below zero on account of the condi
tions created by the war. And in the
November days of 1918 the left was
too weak to send the Scheidemanns
after their master Whilhelm into ex
ile. The unity of organization so long
preserved in Germanj', then proved
a destrimcnt to tho revolutionary po
wor of the workers. The right wing of
Seheidemann and Nobke assassinated
the left of Luxemburg and Licbknecht
with the power that the Scheidemanns
could never have gotten without the
help of the Luxemburgs and Liebk
nechts during the long period of unity.
Should we learn from history, or
should we close our eyes to it for the
sweet sounds of a sentimental plea?
Should the communists of America
unite with the Scheidemanns her.;
merely on a sentimental plea for
They cannot!
They will not!
The day will come when capitalism
in this country will call upon its rear
guard, the pettit bourgeois Social!"::
Party, to save the dav for capitalism
just like the German capitalists called
upon the German Social-Democratic
Party there for that purpose. On that
day, the first day of the revolution,
the communists in this country will bo
Jaced bv the daggers and bayonets of
the Stedman Scheidemanns. Tho com
munists will not unite and wait until
they are assassinated bv these friends
of capitalism in the name of law and
order, capitalist law and order. No,
the communists of America are on their
guard so they may not be caught
Socialist unity means more than som;
100.000 people paying dues into the

Revolutionary socialist unity means
more than some 100.000 workers voting
for one and the same man for pres
ident, even if that man happens to
be such a lovablo and incorruptible
Socialists as Eugene V. Debs.
Eugene V. Debs as the presidential
candidate of the Socialist Party is
not acceptable in that capacity to the
communists, no matter how acceptable
ne would be as a member of tho com
munist organization.

A unity upon that program is not
only desirable but necessary. Such uni
ty, however, cannot be accomplished
by tho Socialist Party and the
communists coming together. Tt
can only bo accomplished if the
revolutionary workers gather around
the banners of communism. Thov must
leave the Socialist Party and its
leaders because those leaders arc mis

Manifesto on Mexican War
Mexico City, April 22. (By mail). The Communist Party of Mexico has
issuod a manifesto to the Mexican worker calling on them to keep out of
the prcsont civil war and center their energies on tho work of industrial
organization instead of permitting themselves to be made the tools of
either of the rival sits of politicians.
The manifesto says among other things:
"This revolution is not a Social Revolution.
"This is not our fight.
"This rcbellin is not a rebellion of the proletariat against the bourg
eoisie, of the masses against the masters, of the slaves against the slave
drivers. "The bloody butchery that is beginning, arises because one coterie of
politicians is trying to oust the other from official position.
"Between the two we have no choice, altho we observe with interest
that American imperialism is backing one against the other. American money
is behind the Sonora aggregation, nsing it as a tool with which to make in
tervention seem necessary to the American people, as an accelerator to in
crease public opinion north of the Rio Grande in favor of ennexation."
Tho manifesto says that the party would prefer to seo the revolution
fail for it would mean a continuation of individual existence for Mexico a
while lor.ger, and tho party's work can be conducted with less persecution
nder Mexican officials than under Americans. However, it predicts the
success of the uprising and the eventual annexation of part or all of Mexico
to tho United States It says that tho Communists would certainly not fight
for such a revolution which is buckod by Wall Street and on the other hand,
it would bo futilo to fight opainst it.
"Our business, under those circumstances and unless conditions
change decidedly", continues tho manifesto "is to keep out of the
fight. If an opportunity for morn effective action in another way,
offors Itself and we reconsider this doclsion, we will advise all com
rades accordingly. But virwed in the light of Scientific Communism,
after numerous consultations and after careful rofcrence to tho
conduct of Communist leader bj other and similar crises, this is our
opinion today.
"We must bow to the inevitable. Sinco we oauuot much longer cootinuo

In a down-town meeting:

And others claim

In anticipation of American rule, sooner or later, all moetings of Com
munist locals will bo discontinued, and the party will get ready to work
underground if it becomes necessary. Members are advised to join industrial
unions where they exist, to organize them where none exist, and to center
their energies on building up industrial unions that will cover the country.
The development of tho Mexican I. W. W. will be the sole work of tho Com
munists henceforthj and they will prepare for the time when, in conjunction
with American workers, they cun overthrow the capitalism that will dominate
both countries.
Again warning the workers to refuse to fight, and to use their energies
in industrial organizations, tho manifesto says:

Ruminations of a Robs!
T have a lingering suspicion that
the financiers of the United States are
not at all optimistic as to collections
on their war loans to "our noble Al
lies." In fact, their hope of reaping
millions in interest has gone glimmer
ing, with no prospect of even recov
ering the principal. The loans made by
the government to its Enropean allies
might just as well be credited to war
expense and let it go at that. France
h practically bankrupt and Italy is
a close second. Repudiation by Great
Britain seems to be the only way out
of her dilemma, and the collection of
the indemnity imposed upon Germany
is an evenescent dream, for her in
dustrial paralysis precludes all possi
bility of liquidation. So far as tho
government is concerned, its losses
might be recouped by increased taxa
tion, but there is a limit to that.
Taxes aro already so burdensome that
it may be dangerous to augment them,
for even the American worm may turn,
and if he shonld Bolsheviki. The
world war has certainly proved a
boomerang to the bourgeoisie through
out the world, and especially to tbo
gentry of that persuasion in the U.
The growing restlessness of tho
tillers of the soil is causing consider
able alarm among the politicians at
Washington. It seems that one of them
slightingly applied the term "Bolshe
vik" to the farmers when some agri
cultural complaints were bein consider
ed by a committee, and the news has
traveled like a prairie fire throughout
tho agricultural sections. It was a
similar sneer at the food producers
that caused the revolt in North Dakota,
which resulted in tho organization of
the Non Partisan League. A committee
of farmers was told by a drunken mem
bor of the Dakota Legislature to go
home and slop their hogs. They went,
all right, but, instead of following the ad
vice of the 'soused ' politician, they form
od a political organization that put the
politisians of that State out of busi
ness During the past few years the
farmer has changed from a patient,
thoughtess plodder, apparently satisfied
with his lot, to an inquirer as to his
relation to industry at large, lie
doesn't think it fair for the workers
in other industries to be guaranteed,
rain or shine, and approximately fixed
reward for their labor, while he is
compelled to gamble with the weather
and .accept whatever prices for his
product the middlemen may exact. He
also wants to know where he comes in
on tho eight-hour day which is en
ticing agricultural workers into other
lines of industry. That these inquiries
are pertinent cannot be denied. As a
worker in the most essential of all
industries food production tho farm
er is rightfully deserving of as much
consideration as other workers. The
fact that his hitherto sluggish mind is
now beginning to work along the line
of inquiry is a hopeltul sign, ui course
there is no hope for him until the agri
cultural industry is socialized through
the common ownership of land, and he
can solve the problem whenever he
wants to. Socialism will do the job.
This man Palmer, who by somo
quirk of the fates was made Attorney
General of the United States, cr.nnot
bo considered other than an unmiti
gated ass or, perhaps, he is just plain
"nuts". At regular intervals ho an
nounces the discovery of a plot to
murder prominent federal officials or
"tart a revolution or something. Until
lately the public awaited with bated
breath the fulfillment of his dire
prophecies. No person with a modicum
of brains now pays the slightest at
tention to his maunderings. Even the
capitalist press poke fun at his state
ments. And this mental lightweight
seriously sought to be a candidate for
President! He belongs in a sanitarium.
It seems that editorial writers of
the daily prens have become so harden
ed to outraging truth that they have
lost all sense of shame. For persistont
lying never in nil history has their
moral obliquity been equaled. There is
an inteleetual prostitute on the edi
torial staff of the Cleveland Press who
is entitled to decorations for shameless
and brazen perversion of the truth.
In a late issue of that exponent of
bourgeois hypocrisy tho attention of its
renders is called to tho fact that tho
Soviet Government of Russia has an
rirmv of 2,000,000 men notwithstanding
its denunciation of militarism, and that
the evident intend is to use this army
it forcing contignous European nations
to adopt the Soviet form of govern
mert. The writer knowB well that tho
Soviet Government was forced to raise
this army to protect itself from the
counter revolutionists, who wore aided
in every possible way by tho Allies.
This information is common property
among enlightened people. Then why,
y ou ask, does this paper persist in dis
seminating such glaring falsehoods?
The answer is easy. It knows that the
majority of its readers are bonehcads
who have never sought the truth, and
that if a few did make this unusual
mental effort, they forgot all about
it in a few hours. Tf the workers can
be induced to cultiva'e their mental
faculties to the degree that they will
bo ablo to remember the happenings of
months instead of hours the lying
propaganda of tho bourgeois press will
full of its own weight. ,

LONDON. The workers of Poland,
stirred to the depths by the liut Ger
man revolution, are moving moro and
more rapidly towards a Communist re
gime, in which their present lenders
ell tho way from Gen. Pllsudaki to So
cialist party officials will be swept
away. This assertion is made by the
Vienna correspondent of Tho London
Daily Herald, in an important nccount
of tho Polish reaction to the Gorman
revolution, which haa not boon de
scribed in tho proat dispatches.
"How closely tho destiny of tho
I'oliah and Gorman proletariat is knit
together was illustrated by tho spon
taneous strikes which broke forth
throughout Poland, which wore re
inforced by peasants' nnreat, and
which shook the Polish imperialist
tructtiro to its roots' says the ac
count. "As soon ns news of tho Germnn re
volutionary uprising penetrated the
Near East, all Galicin was plunged in
a general rnilwny strike, which was

mass hunger demonstrations among tho

swiftly, and appeared within two days
in Congress Poland, whero tranapnrt
