There comes a point in the analysis of any problem when its escalation turns so blatantly obvious that the disaster is self-explanatory. The economic crisis in the United States and around the globe is one of those problems. While there are still plenty of people out there who remain ignorant to the immediate danger, I think we are very close (at least in America) to a point of maximum velocity. The more accelerated the awakening, however, the faster globalist interests will pull the plug on what remains of our financial system.
Most citizens are at least vaguely concerned with the state of our country and are attempting to learn more. The survival methodology has gone mainstream and grows in popularity daily. Even the annual Bilderberg meeting — a confab of the world's most influential economic and political power mongers, which mainstream media entities have long refused to publicly acknowledge — is finally being exposed to the light of day. We are now in a race, a mad dash to shape the future battle space before the elites position themselves for the final conflict.
Further economic analysis would merely reaffirm what most of us in the liberty movement already know, but let's recap our situation for the sake of clarity.
Full-Spectrum Fiscal Disaster Is No Longer Theory; It Is Certain
The U.S. stock market is now in the midst of perhaps the largest artificial bubble in world history. Virtually all movements in the Dow are now determined by the stimulus actions of the private Federal Reserve. Agents of the Fed, including former Chairman Alan Greenspan and current branch head Richard Fisher, have openly admitted in separate interviews that the central bank's primary directive has been to prop up equities to give the public the illusion of stability, rather than to revamp consumer credit markets as originally promised. Because of the system's dependence on Fed fiat, whenever the smallest rumor of a possible reduction in stimulus is heard, the markets tumble.
To illustrate how detached and absurd our economic reality has become, investors now actually rally around the Dow whenever bad financial news is released because bad news means there is higher likelihood that the Fed will continue fiat printing.
For example, Reuters reported on June 4: "A report released on Monday showed the Institute for Supply Management's index of U.S. factory activity fell to its lowest since June 2009 and tempered expectations the Fed would retrace its stimulus measures."
This indicates that our current economy is so fragile that it is utterly incapable of sustaining concrete investment without the Fed creating dollars out of thin air 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In fact, I have to laugh anytime a mainstream analyst suggests we have entered a phase of recovery. Let the Fed stop all stimulus, and then we'll see how much legitimate "growth" is actually taking place.
The wealth of most Americans is down 55 percent since the "recession" officially began in 2008. Job creation remains dismal. In 2010, 58.7 percent of working-age Americans were employed. In 2013, that number fell to 58.6 percent (according to official statistics), meaning there has been no improvement in the jobs sector of the U.S. economy following the 2008 collapse, despite all the claims by the Fed and the Administrations of George W. Bush and Barack Obama that bailout dollars and quantitative easing measures would bring jobs back to life.
Also, keep in mind that a rating of 58 percent employment may have been acceptable in the 1950s and 1960s when the U.S. population was half what is today. However, 42 percent unemployed working-age Americans in a population of 350 million is a dangerous prospect. Add to this the fact that, in those days, high-paying manufacturing jobs were the norm. Today, blue collar business has been replaced by burger-shoveling-wage slavery.
Unknown trillions of dollars have been printed, the dollar has been inflated and devalued, national debt is skyrocketing, and there's absolutely nothing to show for it.
In the global political sphere, tensions continue under the surface between North Korea and South Korea, while the conflict in Syria appears to be spreading like a plague, drawing in multiple nations and promising a high probability of widespread warfare. Any broad-based disaster at this tenuous time will trigger a breakdown in the U.S. fiscal system. A crisis is inevitable.
Once we accept this fact, we must then ask ourselves a simple question: What can we, as individuals, do about it? In the liberty movement, most activists agree on the causes of our current dilemma as well as the eventual direction we are headed. Unfortunately, the movement completely diverges when it comes to solutions.
Fight Tyranny From The Bottom Up
Though there are as many "silver bullet" ideas as there are people, I would divide the argument over solutions into two basic camps: top-down proponents and bottom-up proponents.
I have heard numerous theories fielded, from suing the Fed to voting Republican to impeachment to leaving the country to marching on Washington, D.C., with rifle in hand. These are what I call top-down solutions, none of which take into account the need for localized independence. If you cannot even sustain yourself where you live and if you are unable to provide your own survival necessities, then what good is voting, suing, impeaching or marching abroad going to do?
The problem with the average solution put forward by well-meaning, but sometimes naïve, activists is that they cannot seem to free themselves from the top-down mentality. For them, all big sociopolitical changes must be made at what they believe to be the epicenter and often by working within the controlled paradigm. They think they can play the game better than the men who created it. They forget all about the periphery, the foundation of localism. They forget that to give independence to the world, they must first give independence to themselves. I am consistently astonished by the number of liberty movement activists who don't even have food storage, a decent rifle or a worthwhile barter skill, yet seem to think they are ready to march weapon-bound to Washington.
Let's be clear about something: Even if the masses coalesce to overthrow our currently corrupt political matrix of puppet middlemen, we are still left with an international banking oligarchy as well as a collapsing economy. The fight doesn't end when you boot out the paid-off politicians; the fight has just begun. It is childish and foolish to believe otherwise. Therefore, one must plan ahead if one wishes to be victorious in the battle for a decentralized society.
This decentralization starts with you — in your personal life and within your community. The last thing the establishment wants is for individuals, neighborhoods and towns to decouple from the mainstream system and provide for themselves. This is what they truly fear — not empty marches without tangible goals or intelligent planning.
One thing that every American can do right now to bolster and inspire real revolution would be to learn a trade or skill that would be highly valuable in a post-collapse environment. If you cannot sustain yourself, then you cannot thrive and you cannot fight. If your neighborhood or town is unable to produce necessities for barter, then there is no trade, no organization, no cooperation and, thus, no organized will to fight. That is to say, global liberty stems from local industry.
During a debt and currency crisis, barter will probably be the most accessible form of local industry. The following is a list of examples of post-collapse skills and trade models that you could learn or construct within the next six months in order to ensure you are a sought-after partner in your own community when breakdown occurs:
There are numerous trade skills that one can learn to become more viable within a post-collapse economy. No one can provide every necessity or foresee every eventual need. Therefore, a barter community of tradesmen is essential and is the foundation of a truly free and prosperous society. The pursuit of a post-collapse skill should be at the top of every survivalist's to-do list. It is not something to be put off or shelved for a later date. Learn one today — not tomorrow. This solution is within your power to make happen now. Do not waste the opportunity, especially in pursuit of top-down schemes that serve only to give false hope and zero returns.

UNIVERSITY PARK - It was a quiet night in Penn State's athletic dorms and apartments following the Nittany Lions' 34-31 home loss a week ago to underdog Central Florida.
"That was the night of the Floyd Mayweather fight. I think everybody just chilled. A lot of people didn't go out. I know I didn't," Lion tight end Kyle Carter said. "That night was kind of tough, I guess."
No doubt at least of few of the Lions imagined they were Mayweather, taking their frustrations out vicariously on Canelo Alvarez after experiencing their first lost of the season.
"A loss is never easy. It's one of the hardest things to get through," said junior running back Zach Zwinak, who rushed for 100 yards and three touchdowns against UCF but also was guilty of a crucial fumble late in the contest. "I grew up to be extremely competitive. My dad instilled it in me, so losing is extremely hard. But you let it go. To not think about it is the biggest thing. If you think about it, it will eat away at you."
Penn State put the UCF setback in the past, coming out behind a strong running game and defensive performance in a 34-0 win on Saturday over Kent State in a wet and rainy Beaver Stadium to take a 3-1 record into the bye week before heading into Big Ten Conference play.
"This was a really important week for us, coming after a loss. Everyone's looking to see how we were going to respond, including the team and the coaches," senior linebacker Glenn Carson said. "Overall, I think we played a lot better. We really came together."
The key, many of the players agreed, was not to dwell on it.
"We went in the film room, watched our mistakes and moved on," left tackle Donovan Smith said of the approach following the UCF loss. "It's over. There's nothing you can do about it."
"There's like a 24-hour clock," safety/linebacker Stephen Obeng-Agyapong said. "We were mad for 24 hours. But, after that, you have to turn the chapter. You have to play again. We have a game every week. Every week we've got to prove ourselves.
"It's tough, especially after the game. Nobody likes to lose. It hit us hard, but we bounced back."
That was a test particularly for the defensive players. The Lion 'D' had received a lot of praise for the way it had played in the first two games. However, Penn State was scorched for more than 500 yards by UCF Blake Bortles and his array of receivers.
"Last week, we had a tough time. This week, I think we played loose, we practiced loose," cornerback Trevor Williams said. "We had a lot more fun today."
Lion coach Bill O'Brien said he didn't think his defensive players followed a lot of the criticism they received in the media, but he apparently did. He made a point about midway through the press conference to break away from questions and point out to everyone that they pitched a shutout.
It almost seemed as though O'Brien was intending his words for his team as much as the press.
"Anytime you go out there and you don't perform the way you think you should perform and you're a good football player, which we have, and you've got good coaches on that side of the ball, and we're demanding on each other and extremely competitive people, it's a disappointment. Those guys took it to heart," O'Brien said. "They came out and they practiced hard every single day. John [Butler] put together a good gameplan. I don't know what the stats were, but it looked to me like it was a struggle to move the ball for Kent State."
Kent had 56 yards rushing. UCF had more than that on one play and nearly as many on another.
"We put pride into it," linebacker Nyeem Wartman said. "Our seniors and coaches stepped up and showed that they believed in us. They know that we're better than that. We just had to get back to the Penn State brand."
Wartman said he spent the hours immediately after the UCF game by himself.
"You know all the plays you messed up on. You know what you could have done," Wartman said. "Here, we have a higher standard. If we don't reach that standard, that's a blow to us. Even if we'd won that game, it was a blow to us, because we didn't meet that standard."
While no one liked to lose, the Nittany Lions tried to look at silver linings, one of which was it sent a message to the team what it need to work on before it hit the conference schedule.
"It was good that it came now, especially with us going into the bye week. You never want to go into the bye week with questions," Obeng-Agyapong said. "Now I feel like we have our identity. We need to keep on rolling and make it better."
Williams said he was eager to get back on the field to atone.
"That's the best thing about football. You always get a chance to play the next snap, the next game," Williams said. "And it was another home game. We owed our fans a win today. They came out to support us in the rain."
Carson was one of the few Lions that actually came right out and said the UCF loss served as motivation against Kent State.
"With any competitor, it's tough after a loss, and you kind of feel it all week long as you're practicing," Carson said. "Coming out and winning gets that off your shoulders a little bit, and you can keep moving forward and use that momentum."
As Smith said, no one likes to lose, but not everyone can win. The key is to make the best of it. The Lions are hoping the disappointment of the UCF game could pay off by leading to success down the road.
"That loss is in the past. We learned from it," Carter said. "Now I'm just ready to go 11-1."

For the second offering of the Long Wharf Theater season, acting artistic director Greg Leaming has brought from New York last year's Keen Co. production of this solo play by Irish playwright Conor McPherson ("The Weir").
For the second offering of the Long Wharf Theater season, acting artistic director Greg Leaming has brought from New York last year's Keen Co. production of this solo play by Irish playwright Conor McPherson ("The Weir").
"The Good Thief" is a deft example of old-style Irish storytelling with new-style descriptions of casual cruelty and sexual explicitness. The lone performer, Dan Cordle (in Gotham it was Brian D'Arcy James), plays a small-time thug relating a homicidal incident that occurred more than 10 years earlier.
Cordle is technically skillful, as is the direction by Carl Forsman, while the physical production is brutally stylish. But, primed by program notes referring to the "good thief" at Christ's crucifixion and discussions of redemption, we expect something more than what meets the ear.
It may be the fault of the writing or that Cordle's assured, believably Irish-sounding performance doesn't dig deeply enough. Whatever the reason, "Good Thief" comes across as a minor offering.
Nathan Heverin's set (seen in New York and Waterford, Ireland) and Josh Bradford's lighting are the most potent elements of this production. Heverin provides a piece of stage sculpture made up of what looks like overlapping slabs of rusting steel backed by a wall of worn corrugated iron; at one brief point, light shines through the many holes in the wall to suggest stars; at another, water trickles down the corrugations like tears.
Bradford's stark lighting follows the tale through dawn, daylight, dusk and night from Dublin to Sligo, evoking natural and electric light and flashing on and off as the narrator recalls being beaten up and lapsing in and out of consciousness.
But when set and lighting outshine play and cast, something's awry, as is the case with "The Good Thief."

COLUMBIA - The override of vetoes is expected to dominate political headlines today as lawmakers return to Columbia to undo some of Gov. Nikki Haley's budget cuts.
Even Haley and her staff are gearing up for it; Haley's Facebook account has already posted a comment about how they will be tracking the override of vetoes.
"We will report on the 76 vetoes being taken up by legislators today to include their pay raises and pension increases," Haley posted on her Facebook account. "The items vetoed were earmarks or drastic growth in govt (sic) agencies. We must always be conscious of how we spend taxpayer dollars."
Several lawmakers have already voiced plans to overturn some of Gov. Nikki Haley's 76 vetoes, including $2 million requested for the lieutenant governor's office. Haley said on Thursday the lieutenant governor's office was growing too fast.
But Lt. Gov. Glenn McConnell said Haley was misinformed about the office's budget increases. He added he would be lining up support for the overturning of that veto.
Other notable items vetoed include a pay increase of $1,000 a month for lawmakers. But some lawmakers have already said that veto will likely stand.

Are parent's finally pinching their pennies? Visa's annual prom spending survey results are in, see what they found.
2011 was the survey's first year.
Prom spending reached it's peak in 2013.
According to Visa Inc., this total represents the amount of money spent on attire, limousine rentals, tickets, and dinner.
In addition, in 2013, households making under $50k spent twice as much as households making more than $50k.
It's not a major decrease, but it's $412.
Again, it's not a major decrease but it's $37.
Visa Inc. also took a look at regional trends.
The Northeast reduced spending by 27%.
While the midwest region spent the least in 2014, they also spent more on average than they did in 2013.
The West historically spends more on prom than any other region.
2014 was no different for the West region and their spending also increased from 2013.
Southern families spent 23% less in 2014 than they did in 2013.

text: The city walls, a mixture of red limestone, granite and brick, were built under Alfonso VI, following his capture of the city from the Moors in 1090; they took his Muslim prisoners nine years to construct. At closer quarters, they prove a bit of a facade, as the old city within is sparsely populated, most of modern life having moved into the new developments outside the fortifications. It's possible to walk along two sections of the walls from Puerta de Carnicerías to Puerta del Carmen and from Puerta del Alcázar to Puerta del Rastro; the former being the best with some stunning views of the town. There have been some experiments with night-time opening in the summer (usually 10pm–12.30am Sun–Wed), but check with the tourist office. Tickets are available from the green kiosk by the Puerta del Alcázar and the tourist office at Puerta de Carnicerías.

Wideout Reggie Brown made his annual donation to the Salvation Army yesterday during the 2nd quarter of the Iggles dismantling of Dallas:
Wideout Reggie Brown made his annual donation to the Salvation Army yesterday during the 2nd quarter of the Iggles dismantling of Dallas:
Six weeks after undergoing surgery to repair the patella tendon in his right knee, Phillies rookie Zach Eflin went under the knife again Friday.
As expected, Eflin had the same surgery - performed by Dr. Steve Cohen - done on his left knee.
According to the Phillies, Eflin will be immobilized for six weeks and is expected to make a full recovery.
Eflin, 22, has been dealing with knee problems since he was about 11 years old. The issues caused him to make just 11 starts in his rookie campaign.
"You know this is an issue he's been fighting since he was a kid," general manager Matt Klentak said on the day of Eflin's first surgery in August. "I think he told me since he was 11 years old, he first started battling knee problems. The hope here is that it's going to alleviate the problem. And that he's not going to have to deal with it. And in just talking candidly with Zach last night, while not excited to undergo the knife today, he was pretty excited about the possibility of coming to spring training next year pain-free for the first time in his life."
That is still the expectation.
Eflin finished his rookie year 3-5 with a 5.54 ERA in 63 ⅓ innings pitched. He was 5-2 with a 2.90 ERA in 68 ⅓ innings at Triple A Lehigh Valley.
Temple head coach Fran Dunphy had a feeling some bad news would come regarding guard Trey Lowe's status for the coming season. On Friday, it was made official.
Lowe, a freshman who suffered serious upper-body injuries in a single-car crash in his native New Jersey last February, will miss all of the 2016-17 season and take a medical redshirt as he continues to recover, Dunphy announced on Friday.
"We all feel that this is in the best interest for Trey, as a person, a basketball player and a student," Dunphy said in a statement released by the university. "We feel at this time that concentrating on his rehabilitation this year will give him the best chance to come back strong and healthy for 2017-18. Trey will still be a big part of the team during this redshirt year, while continuing to work with our medical and strength team in preparation for his full return to action."
Lowe was just starting to come into his own at the collegiate level around the time of the unfortunate accident. In a Feb. 17 game at the Liacouras Center against then-No.1 and eventual national champion Villanova, Lowe dropped a career-high 21 points. Though the Owls lost, 83-67, Lowe had made an impact and earned the trust of Dunphy, which isn't easy to do as a freshman.
A three-star recruit, Lowe played in all 28 games, including five starts, prior to his injury and averaged 4.8 points and 1.8 assists in 12.3 minutes per game. He would be a redshirt sophomore if he's ready to return for the 2017-18 season.
The absence of Lowe will leave the Owls particularly thin at guard this year. You may recall senior point guard Josh Brown, who was to be counted on as the Owls' leader this season, tore his Achilles tendon during an offseason workout. His status for this season is still unknown as he continues to rehab from his injury.
Junior forward Obi Enechionyia, who averaged 11 points per game last season, is Temple's leading returning scorer.
The onus to produce at guard will be placed on redshirt senior Daniel Dingle and sophomore Shizz Alston, Jr. True freshmen Quinton Rose and Alani Moore will also likely have to chip in.
They have just over a month to get ready. Temple hosts La Salle in both schools' season opener on Friday, Nov. 11 at the Liacouras Center.

This mid-century lover's dream bathroom has plenty of personality, but won't hurt resale value. See why.
Vibrant Living Room Showcases Original Art
You would never know this living room belonged to Austinite Joe Sigel, owner of the Art on 5th art gallery. A study in boring beige, the space didn't reflect an iota of Sigel's personality or his passion for art.
Room Fu's design plan starts with new wood flooring and builds layers of color and texture from the ground up. Although the space is filled with saturated color, the focus is where it should be—on a stunning work by Cynthia Chartier.
The vibrant red sofa and loveseat are a great combination of classic and modern, chic yet
low-maintenance microsuede.

84th Carnival of Personal Finance
|Email Print
I'm happy to present, for your reading enjoyment, a ridiculously long 84th Carnival of Personal Finance. You may have expected Five Cent Nickel to host this particular edition but earlier this week he asked that we swap hosting positions so you can see his rendition next week.
The Carnival has grown tremendously from its first edition on June 20th, 2005 when thirteen bloggers participated (I was the first, so ha!) and today we have more submissions than I care to count and it's grown to the point where I don't think I'll be able to do anything clever or interesting with it and still be able to enjoy my weekend. I've enjoyed my time hosting the Carnival, my first time being the 2nd Edition that featured a svelte eight entries – I read every single one. I really enjoyed the 47th Edition where I put together a map of the entries (in my opinion, my crowning achievement in hosting any carnival)… but this week there were just too many entries this will mark my final appearance as host of the CoPF. I feel that with the sheer number of submissions, I'd be doing the carnival and its submitters a disservice by continuing to host and doing a list of links as you're about the see.
I split the carnival up into two (three if you count Editor's Choice) groups – bloggers I've actually interacted with and those that I haven't. I'm not making any judgments on the quality of the work in either category (that is to say I don't claim the posts in the list of "friends" is better than the list of "strangers," but I think the Editor's Choices are good reads) but I'm separating the two to illustrate how the pfblogosphere has grown so tremendously.

About CMC Laboratories
CMC was founded in 2003 by a group of scientists and engineers with a long history in the electronics packaging industry. From the beginning, CMC's focus has been on solving materials related problems in electronic packaging and assembly applications.
CMC's business has three main business focus areas that are closely interrelated.
The first business focus is on Failure Analysis and Materials Related Consulting. CMC uses advanced analytical tools, material science expertise and broad experience in electronic packaging and assembly process reliability to determine root cause of material failures. CMC then works closely with customers, often at their manufacturing sites, to propose and validate solutions. More information on this business area can be found in our Failure Analysis section, and you can see many examples of CMC's expertise in our Knowledge Base section.
A second business focus for CMC is the development and licensing of packaging related technology, particularly in the area of high thermal performance ceramic materials. The technologies that CMC licenses are described in our Licensing section. CMC also does development, within our areas of expertise, under contract for specific customers.
Lastly, CMC does select low volume manufacturing of specialty materials or processes. Currently, CMC does low volume electroless and electrolytic plating for outside customers using a process that was developed in-house at CMC for this specific application. CMC also develops and sells thick film metallization pastes for high thermal performance materials such as AlN. You can see more about CMC's low volume fabrication capabilities in our Development section.

Greek yogurt enhances your cooking
We spoon up so much yogurt at breakfast, lunch and dinner that we spent $7.3 billion on the tart stuff in 2012.
Its creamy texture and good-for-your-gut benefits are draws. So are the varieties: full fat, nonfat and low fat; organic and conventional; honey sweetened or plain; fruit on the bottom or swirled throughout.
Among these cultured denizens of the dairy case, it's Greek yogurt that's seizing attention.
Retail sales in the U.S. of this thicker-than-regular yogurt increased more than 50 percent in 2012 to reach $1.6 billion, according to Packaged Facts, a Rockville, Md., market researcher. Such numbers, they say, have pretzel, salad dressing and cereal-makers jumping on the Greek yogurt bandwagon.
Greek yogurt's appeal is easy to understand. It's deliciously thick and creamy, it plays well in recipes, its ingredient list is simple (milk plus live cultures) and its tartness dovetails with our fondness for fermented foods (pickles, beer, etc.).
Subbing Greek yogurt for sour cream in many recipes cuts calories and sodium, while delivering more protein. "If you're making a cold soup that uses sour cream, I would swap it out for nonfat Greek yogurt," said dietitian Sarah Krieger, an Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics spokeswoman. "You're getting more nutrition with the Greek yogurt."
Its acidity also works well as a marinade for meats and poultry. "It's great for baked fish or chicken. If you're using it instead of mayonnaise, you're actually using less fat and you're adding a little bit of protein and a little bit of calcium," Krieger said.
She spreads yogurt on whitefish, then mixes dried herbs with breadcrumbs or panko to sprinkle atop before baking.
"With yogurt, almost anything goes, the possibilities of cooking with it are infinite," Arto Der Haroutunian wrote in "The Yogurt Cookbook: Recipes From Around the World" (Interlink Books, $35). The late author and restaurateur suggested using it in place of cream, milk, buttermilk and sour cream.
"It makes an excellent marinade and goes well with vegetables, eggs, meat, poultry, cheese and grains," wrote Der Haroutunian, whose book boasts 200-plus recipes, including a garlic sauce (yogurt mixed with a crushed garlic clove, finely chopped green onion, a bit of salt and dried mint) for serving atop fried slices of zucchini or eggplant.
Greek yogurt, like regular yogurt, can be temperamental in the presence of heat. If you're using it in cooking, it will curdle if you cook it over high heat, said Krieger, who suggests using low heat or stirring Greek yogurt into sauces at the end of cooking for texture and creaminess.
Nutritional differences between Greek and regular yogurts are due in part to the number of times each is strained. Regular yogurt is strained twice to remove liquid (called whey); Greek yogurt is strained three times, which makes it thicker and sometimes tarter.
"Regular yogurt has more whey, that is more of the liquid where most of the lactose -- also known as the carbohydrate -- is found," Krieger said. "So when the whey is removed, you're left with a higher concentration of protein. That's why you'll see more protein in nonfat Greek yogurt than of the same amount of regular nonfat."
It's yet another reason to give tart, thick, creamy Greek yogurt a role to play in your culinary creations.

People from outside of Christchurch or New Zealand may not have heard of Joe Bennett. However he is a well known identity in Christchurch and regularly writes quirky opinion pieces for the local newspaper, the Press. (He has written a book, for example, called 'Where Underpants Come From' chasing the origins of where his undies were made). Bennett has also become something of a folk hero because his house in the boutique Port village of Lyttleton was condemned by the authorities and Bennett was ordered to leave. However, he resisted the authorities claiming he knew better than they about the dangers facing him in his property and that he had a right to choose to stay. He won.
Bennett likes to say that he drinks from the bar of public opinion on Saturday nights, rather than from the echelons of power. His opinions are particularly those of baby boomers and readers of the local Fairfax newspaper, the Press, but that is nonetheless definitely the bar he drinks from.
Which means that his suggestion about a memorial on the opinion page of the Press, on the day of the anniversary of the February 22 quake, is particularly significant for Christchurch. It is both a barometer of the bar of public opinion and also an indication of what might happen from here.
Bennett's suggestion for a memorial for the people of Canterbury is neither new nor radical. He says it is up to the families who have lost loved ones to design memorials which they regard as appropriate for their family members, and for the public purse to fund these. Few would argue with this. However, in terms of commemorating the earthquake itself, Bennett's simple suggestion is that the Cathedral ruins ought to be the memorial. Bennett suggests the City ought to purchase the ruins, make then safe (!), and leave them as a memorial. This has been one of many suggestions put forward regarding what to do about the cherished Cathedral.
However, what is radical about Bennett's opinion piece is that he imbues the suggestion to leave the Cathedral as ruins with monumental significance (pun intended).
'The world abounds in ruined places of worship. Consider the great slabs of Stonehenge, the jungle-shrouded temples of the Incas, the towering columns of the Parthenon. All were built to gods we've no longer got, gods created by people to explain the world's mysteries. Gods begin, in other words, as bad science. They become institutionalised and are used as tools of government. Then they wither and go away, and only their buildings remain. Yet how evocative those ruined buildings are. So, 20, 50, or 200 years from now I like to think that our descendants will stand in what was once Cathedral Square and sense what happened here. And then they'll look around and see a fresh and quirky city – a city emulating nowhere else on Earth, a city built both by and for a people free of dogma – and they'll smile.'
Bennett's argument is very powerful and, in my guess, may well win the day over the discussion about the Cathedral ruins.
His argument is also significant in that it shows how the arguments and assumptions of the secularists are now those of the establishment. It is they who get to write the opinion pieces on the most significant days in the Fairfax newspaper (the Fairfaxes, who established the Fairfax media conglomerate, were a largely evangelical Christian family, and owned or part-owned the Fairfax media company from 1841 – 1990). Furthermore, the views of the secular atheists are now no longer simply being expressed by the elite, but by the person who 'drinks from the bar of public opinion on Saturday night', and in a suitably powerful and evocative manner. On this most significant of days, then, it is worth making three comments about these views.
Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, the view of the secular atheist/agnostic is often blinded by its own sense of superiority and arrogance. The secular atheist likes to think they sit above all others who have any 'religious' viewpoint to explain the world's mysteries. Everybody else has 'bad science'; not them. Everybody else has 'dogma'; not them. Everybody else uses institutionalises dogma and uses it as a tool of government. Not them. They are blinded to the fact that they, too, have beliefs which they cannot justify on a strict rational basis. The irony is so monumental it is embarrassing. Here is a secular humanist, with all his assumptions and beliefs, arguing dogmatically for his beliefs to triumph in the public square, supported by the local newspaper which shares his dogmatic view and supports politically on the same page those who share his view. And all the while blindly attempting to agitate for a time when this no longer happens!
The second point, which may perhaps be more important than the first after all, is that the failings of the secular atheist/agnostic belief system are conveniently and (in Bennett's case) sentimentally explained away. Having spoken about his pet dogs and contrasted how he has acted when he has buried them, and how they will act when he dies, Bennett writes: 'We differ from dogs partly because of our vanity: we assume that what happens to us matters. And partly because of our emotions: we are the only beasts that laugh or cry. And partly because we have a sense of time. Like all creatures, we can live only in the here and now. But unlike them, we hold tight to the past.'
This is a most positive spin on a most soul destroying philosophy. Simply consider the question: does our life matter, or are we actually kidding ourselves? If life does matter – then it can only matter if a God or gods exist. Given that Bennett later appears to reject belief in the existence of a God or gods as 'dogma', then we must assume that we cannot know if life matters at best, or at worst, that it does not matter at all.
The great irony of this, of course, is again the very event behind Bennett's article. It is being written on the one year anniversary of the death of 185 people. The whole reason for publishing his article is the assumption that human life does in fact matter. I have said before that on February 23rd in Christchurch, there were no practising atheists. The reason is that on that day, everyone, and in particular, our agnostic authorities, was insisting: people matter most. The priority of the relief efforts was to be focussed firstly on people. However, this is a completely unjustified position for any atheist or agnostic to hold. If a God or gods has not existed or at least hasn't given humans some worth greater than other beings then humans do not matter more than anything else. The atheist would be entirely within their rights to say on February 23rd 2011 'clipboards matter most. We must give priority to them'. The sheer revolting offense of this suggestion highlights the horrendous nature of the dogma of the secular atheist/agnostic. Bennett masks this by saying that in comparison to dogs we are vain. Yet even still the offense remains: is vanity the best reason we can come up with for memorial services? I haven't heard anyone say that to victims' families that they are simply being vain to remember their loved ones.
The third comment to make on Bennett's article is by way of correction. Bennett writes, '[The Cathedral ruins] would remind us of the founders' wish to build an ideal Anglican city. They failed. Christchurch today is not a Christian city, if it ever was one, still less an Anglican one… We have become a secular society … Our founding fathers were merely of their time. They were sons of the British Empire. That empire existed to make money, but it excused itself with God.'
I largely agree with Bennett's comments here. However, I would wish to make at least two important corrections. First, you can't serve God and money. Consequently the British empire, while perhaps having a veneer of religion, frequently opposed the true Christian ministry taking place within it. Second, the ruined Cathedral in Christchurch would remind us of only some of the founders' views to build a High Anglican city. Cathedrals, and especially ones of like Christchurch's, represent the work of Anglicans who had an Anglo-Catholic theology. That certainly does not represent the theology of all Christians, nor even all Anglicans; evangelical Christians in particular. If their theology is represented in any way historically in the founding of Christchurch, it is perhaps by the names of the three public squares in the city: Latimer, Cranmer and Ridley (now Cathedral) Square. Ridley, Cranmer and Latimer were three Anglican Bishops and Reformers all burned at the stake by the Catholic Church for their Protestant views. They are each heroes to evangelicals for their commitment to reforming the church by the Word of God. Latimer, in particular, was the 'preacher of the reformation in England'. While it is true that there are ruined places of worship the world over show the withering and dying of false religion, the word of God does not wither and die. It remains, spreads, and flourishes.
Today, the Anglican Church in Latimer Square is simply a vacant block; there aren't even any ruins. And yet the ministry of the Word which was centred there for decades flourishes more and more across the city. Several other Christian ministries across the city, both Anglican and not, have grown out of this church, including a course aimed at training people to proclaim the Bible as the Word of God. The word which Bishop Latimer preached 500 years ago does not lie in ruins. Under God we pray it will be a key aspect of the rebuilding of the city of Christchurch. In 20, 50 and 200 years from now, I suspect people will see more clearly that this Word has done anything but lie in ruins. Rather I suspect it will be shown to be what it has always been: living, active, powerful, unstoppable and eternal.

Not a fine balance
A biased analyst will almost always be wrong, because he or she will see only what he wants to see.
Objectivity in journalism became unfashionable a while ago. Balance is now going the same way. This is partly because the articles generally perceived as examples of good writing now are those that get the most comments. Any piece of writing that manages to whip up sentiments and generate a lot of heat is seen as successful. Usually, polemical writings strewn with controversial remarks tend to do this. Such pieces are therefore seen as good.
This is, in my view, wrong.
I opposed embedded journalism when Fox News did it in Iraq, because it seemed to me that the reporter was taking sides, and telling only one side of the story. I had questions when Mary Colvin did it in Syria as well. I want my reports without slant as far as possible. The reporter trying to prejudice me one way or another is purveying a sort of propaganda. I understand that perfect objectivity and balance are humanly impossible, but how about at least trying to be balanced?
Taking sides is fine in an opinion piece. Such pieces clearly state a particular writer's point of view. However the reader must distinguish between hot, unsubstantiated opinion, and analysis. The first is nonsense. The second is useful, because it is based on facts and clear reasoning. Unfortunately, today's journalism environment doesn't encourage this latter kind of writing, because it tends not to scream. In our loud, crass media environment, voices of sanity cannot easily be heard above the din.
The real irony is that even the same people who sneer at The Times of India for its Page 3 approach to journalism – which the TOI has mostly limited to Page 3 – seem to have no problems patronizing essentially the same approach to more serious matters such as reviews. A girl in a mini skirt is a problem with these folks, because it is seen as trivialization. But a seemingly serious review or analysis that aims at the intellectual equivalent of the lowest common denominator is not trivialization? At least Page 3 doesn't pretend to be anything else.
I don't think journalism should substitute for the circus. If a solid investigation yields a controversial story, that's great. But the story should be reported with as much data as possible, and be balanced and fair to all concerned. A basic principle of justice is that people are innocent until proved guilty. It is not for the reporter to pass judgment.
Reviews are a different matter. A critic is required to pass judgment, but in all fairness, ought to judge the book, film, or work in question, or even the body of work – not the artist or writer. It is a foul if you play the man, not the ball. Exceptions may be made only when a person becomes almost synonymous with a style, genre or event.
With analysis, the lack of balance leads to a simple and basic problem: a biased analyst will almost always be wrong, because he or she will see only what he wants to see. Most of the analysis published by armchair journalists in India, about India, eventually proves to be wrong. This is because, firstly, these journalists don't really know the entire country, or understand the range of subjects required. Secondly, they've usually chosen their side before they start researching their articles, if at all they do any research. Thirdly, they're too full of themselves to seek other opinions and points of view.
When journalists start loving the sounds of their own voices too much, they turn into pundits or activists, or even Arnab Goswami.
The activist and the journalist are two different people. The activist has a strongly held position and point of view. He or she makes no claim to impartiality. He's only championing his cause. The journalist, in contrast, at least pretends to be enquiring into the truth of a matter, and telling it straight, without theatrics. This is his only legitimate cause.
Unfortunately it's become rather fashionable for journalists to take sides, and indulge in drama.
We don't (or at least should not) carry advertorials without labelling them as such, because they are biased. If a journalist with a deep bias writes an article, why is it carried without full disclosure? Such articles ought to come with a line at the bottom saying, "the writer is a friend of this political party" or "an associate of that business house".
As for measuring the success of a piece of writing by the number of comments, well…if numbers decide merit, then The Times of India is the best English newspaper in the world, and Chetan Bhagat is the best Indian writer.

In a "leaked'' memo that's being given out on street corners, Hoboken mayoral candidate Dawn Zimmer lists some reform points for City Hall should she be the victor in the June 9 runoff.
The Jersey Journal Political Insider takes a look at some of the items in today's column.
"The Zimmer document points out that it is for discussion purposes only and that it is subject to additions, deletions, editing, holy water and more,'' Insider Agustin Torres writes. "Its intent was to generate some comment and to provide talking points for her followers should they be questioned about "governance" during the runoff phase of the city election.
Some of the items refer to family on the city payroll, city workers living in affordable housing and "an open recruitment and selection process" for picking senior staff and directors in City Hall.
What's your take?

Follow top players in the best online racebook
Ever thought that horse racing may acquire all your attention?
Before proceeding in the site you should know that this is the best racebook choice you could make. Here at racebook.co we believe that we have prepared for our visitors all in need for a great and magical gamble. As many UK sport lovers start online betting on their favorite sports, let's focus little on horse racing. In my opinion as a gambler, betting on horse racing is the best choice to grow your income. Also for the passionate ones, pleasure involves more than money.
Can i recover easy if I get addicted to horse racing?
There should be no addiction. Only pleasure. This is the way of gambling. No matter is casino games or online betting, the game brings pleasure to the user. Anyway, comparing to casino games, sports betting is more easy to win because logic is too much involved. Betting on horse races requires only knowledge. Registering in the best racebook is the first step to take. And don't forget you will need time to study statistics if you want to have a raising graph.
What should I do in case i don't get the bonus offered by the racebook?
When registering in an online racebook everything is very easy. There should be no time for these thoughts. After the registration just follow the steps the online casino provides. The bonuses usually are 50 or 100% from the amount you have first deposited. Many online sportsbooks from the United Kingdom offer also a second bonus. You just have to read the offer of the company you choose to register and play. You can always take a short trip to William Hill, maybe you will love to play in their sportsbook.
How much psychology is involved in online betting?
It's known sports betting is the second psychological casino game after poker. Comparing to roulette, slots and other casino games, sports betting is a very nice game that requires knowledge, intelligence and first of all patience. Horse racing is proved to exist in ancient Greece, Babylon, Egypt and Syria, and nowadays could be called "Sport of Kings". As in football you would bet on Champions League, we suggest you to start gambling on the biggest competitions. Betting in the best races offers more winning chances and sometimes you just need to be little tricky.
What are the world's best horse races?
There are many horse races but not all worth betting. There are many chances to loose all your money if you gamble in the wrong place. Here is the list of our top 10. Kentucky Derby, Louisville, Kentucky; The Preakness Stakes, Baltimore, Maryland; Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe, Paris, France; Belmont Stakes, Elmont, New York; The Royal Ascot, Ascot, England; Dubai World Cup, Dubai, United Arab Emirates; Melbourne Cup, Melbourne, Australia; The Grand National, Aintree, England; Breeder's Cup World Championship; Nakayama Grand Jump, Funabashi, Japan.

MONTGOMERY, Alabama --- Sen. Bryan Taylor said before he was elected to the Legislature, he drove through a neighborhood marred with graffiti and trash where many of the residents sat idly on porches.
Taylor, a Republican from Prattville, said that prompted him to propose legislation to require those receiving public benefits to perform 20 hours of community service a week.
A Senate committee delayed vote on Taylor's bill today after other legislators raised some concerns.
Sen. Linda Coleman, D-Birmingham, said she thought the idea had merit, but was concerned about several issues, including liability for the agencies that would provide the work.
"I think the bill needs to be more thought out and fleshed out," Coleman said.
Sen. Bill Holtzclaw, R-Madison, said he was concerned about "blurring the line" between court-ordered community service for criminal offenders and public benefits recipients.
Taylor did not contest the move to delay the bill and said he was open to making changes.
Taylor said his intent was not to punish recipients, but to promote work and self-sufficiency. Recipients would perform the service for non-profit agencies, which Taylor said can provide valuable services for the community and for those who receive public benefits. For example, he said a nonprofit group could be formed to clean up neighborhoods like the one he saw.
"I think the point is making sure that we start getting away from the entitlement mentality that is trapping so many people in a cycle of poverty and dependency and start thinking about the dignity of earning a living," Taylor said.
Taylor said he would like those who can show they are actively seeking work to receive a waiver. Taylor said his intent was for the bill to apply to recipients of food stamps, Temporary Assistance to Needy Families and unemployment.

'Mama' Inspires 5 Short Films We'd Like to See as Features
It is often be the case that great things can come in small packages. In the realm of cinema, this translates to under 10 minutes. There is a distinctive artistry in short filmmaking. One could make the illusory coloration that the job of a short film director or writer is somehow easier, given the brevity of their resulting creation. The reality, however, is that the stunted time-frame requires the filmmaker to become adept at the economy of storytelling, and therefore to actually work harder to develop a narrative in a more concise framework.
It's not a frequent occurrence, nor is it exceedingly rare that a short film will be picked up for adaptation into a feature film. This week, the wonderful Spanish horror short Mama sees its full-length iteration hit theaters. The Guillermo del Toro-produced Mama centers on two young girls found living alone in squalor, in the middle of the woods. When their new adoptive parents bring them home, it becomes clear that something terrifying has come along with them. Andres Muschietti, who also wrote and directed the short, helms the feature version. This got us thinking about some other short films we've seen over the last couple of years that would also be ideal for full-length big screen treatment.
The Legend of Beaver Dam
John Landis would be proud of this horror comedy short from writer/director Jerome Sable. It's the story of an awkward young outcast, out on a camping trip with his scout troupe. As the night's activities turn to ghost stories, which in turn accidentally awakens an evil monster, unlikely hero Danny is called upon to save the day. What is so outstanding about The Legend of Beaver Dam, and what we're aching to see more of, is the spectacular musical element, and how this feeds an imaginative narrative structure. It would be great to see Sable team with Darren Lynn Bousman and Terrance Zdunich (the twisted minds behind Repo! The Genetic Opera) to turn Beaver Dam into a large-scale theatrical horror musical.
A carjacker witnesses a shooting, and inadvertently becomes the only one who can help a dying man. His conscience will not be the only thing tested. Marko Slavnic's gritty crime drama is fairly simple in its construction. But within these few moments, we are presented with a probing, brooding character study that takes a phenomenal turn in its final act. It would be fascinating to see this twist altered to serve a running, tension-fostering conflict. Slavnic clearly has the directing and screenwriting chops necessary to hook an audience, and it would be great to see him expand this tale into a dark crime thriller somewhere in the neighborhood of Headhunters.
Dirty Laundry
This is a bit of a cheat, we are not afraid to admit that. Directed by Phil Joanou (State of Grace, The Gridiron Gang), Dirty Laundry centers on a familiar skull-tee-clad comic book vigilante who, in this adventure, stumbles upon a nasty assault while he's just trying to do his laundry. Yes, we've already had two Punisher films, and yes one of them already starred Thomas Jane, but Dirty Laundry is a sterling example of how the right director, and the right tone, can make all the difference. Dirty Laundry is edgier than 2004's Punisher, and yet more grounded (if only a hair less violent) than 2008's Punisher: War Zone. Hopefully, the overwhelming response to this fan film will earn Jane another shot at the role of Frank Castle. Gotta love that Ron Perlman cameo, too.
No Way Out
Even abstract shorts films can provide a compelling appetizer for a potential feature; more than any other type of short, they leave us wanting more. If there is one short that left us ravenous, it was 2011's No Way Out. Directed by Kristoffer Aaron Morgan, and co-written by Eric Vespe, No Way Out is a violent, cruel descent into madness wherein a man, House of the Devil's A.J. Bowen, is pushed to his breaking point by hideous monsters in the dark. The production design, the cinematography, and the ghoulishly delightful practical effects make for a superb and haunting Lovecraftian nightmare that begs to be expanded.
Portal: No Escape
It would be impossible to construct this list without mentioning what is conceivably the best fan film ever made. Dan Trachtenberg's ode to Valve's sci-fi video game was artful and immaculately shot, tantalizingly hinting at the potential for a feature-length Portal movie. No Escape was so exceptional that it actually just netted Trachtenberg a gig directing New Line's movie version of the graphic novel Y: The Last Man. Our guess is that if Trachtenberg were to also then direct the cinematic Portal adaptation, something for which we are all crossing our fingers and toes simultaneously, Guillermo del Toro would produce. That may seem like a stretch… unless you happened to notice the voice of GlaDoS in the Pacific Rim trailers.

I Confess I'm Crazy
I confess...that I've been a bad blogger friend lately. I have not been reading your blogs regularly like I used to, but I'm hoping that changes this week. (Last week was the start of the new job and even with having more time on my hands, I'm still trying to find a good routine.)
I confess...that I'm crazy. I know that I can be crazy for many reasons, but after waking up at 5AM today to go to boot camp, I really think I'm crazy. Who wakes up this early on a regular basis to workout? Again, I'm crazy.
I confess...that I've been really bad about taking pictures, specifically to post on my blog. I think I'm going through an anti-photo phase or something.
I confess...that laughing a lot on Saturday night with M's friends (mainly over our ridiculous use of the term YOLO) made me really happy. Oh and being with M didn't hurt either. Yeah, I love him.
I confess...that I want to go back to bed for 20 minutes, and I think that I might.
How is everyone on this chilly Monday morning?

incredible tank i would really love to make something like that... where did you buy a tank like that? and what is that little waterfall ?
Posted 22 March 2012 - 02:14 PM
Hey great start man. I'd ditch the gravel and get larger stones that they can't eat (you'll thank me in the long run.) Also, it looks like an indoor pond, but throwing in some Water lettuce or hyacinth is always a good call. Also, make that guy as deep as you can, it'll give your turtles more space to swim and stay in shape.
Posted 23 March 2012 - 05:12 PM
Are you keeping them outside? Definitely the deeper the better, RES love to swim, and it is so awesome to see them doing that. If outside, fill it waaaaaaay up, and have a way for them to climb out - they can really enjoy being out of the water for a little while. Is the pond in a safe enclosed area? (block, brick not wire or chain link). I have had RES (and rehomed to great habitats) where they have the run of a nice outside area: bushes, trees, grass, pond..... they love to get out and sun, munch (and nest) and just thrive.
Posted 02 April 2012 - 02:17 PM
Looks really good! Now that it's getting warmer, I've actually be getting ideas for an outdoor enclosure for my 2 Res babies. Thanks for the pic!
Posted 05 April 2012 - 05:06 PM
Yes, definately deeper water.

DALLAS - Steve Spurrier has kept a low profile since his abrupt departure from the Washington Redskins, even ducking through airports in sunglasses and a hat.
He is not trying to hide anything. He is just enjoying retirement after 20 seasons as a "head ball coach" in college and pro football.
Spurrier says his new life is so relaxing that he plans to do nothing more strenuous this fall than watch his son's high school games. He's not interested in broadcasting and won't return to the sidelines - not in 2004 and possibly never.
"I'll be low-key, out of sight for a year, definitely," he said Tuesday in his first news conference since quitting the NFL via cell phone from a Florida golf course. "Maybe I'm finished. I don't know yet."
The home of the Dallas Cowboys is a strange place for a deposed Redskins coach to appear, but Spurrier was in town for a long-arranged speech hosted by the SMU athletic forum.
In a nod to his surroundings, Spurrier said he might follow the career path of former University of Texas coach Darrell Royal, who retired in 1976 at age 52 and never returned.
"He and I have a lot in common," said Spurrier, who turns 59 next month. "We enjoy playing golf, being with our family and having fun."
Spurrier resigned Dec. 30, three days after his second season ended. Washington went 12-20 under his guidance, losing 10 of the last 12.
He walked away from the final three years of a five-year, $25 million contract, the richest ever given to an NFL coach, because the Fun 'n' Gun offense that worked so well at Florida wasn't working - and he doubted that it ever would for Redskins owner Dan Snyder.
"There was no light at the end of the tunnel in the direction our coaching staff and our team was headed," Spurrier said. "Mr. Snyder basically wanted me to probably change a lot of coaches - which actually probably needed to be done - and I said, 'Hey, maybe it's best if I step aside and you get a new head coach and new assistant coaches and have a go at it."'
He does not regret jumping to the NFL, but there were things he missed about college, especially "big games, big crowds." After all, even the Redskins-Cowboys game lacks the atmosphere of Florida-Georgia, known as The World's Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.
"We weren't in a lot of big games the last couple of years because we weren't in the playoff hunt," Spurrier said.

The Pinewood Panthers girls' golf team picked up several victories last week to run its season record to 17-0.
The Panthers defeated West Ashley High School by a score of 182-275. Senior Reona Hirai led Pinewood with a 1 over 37. She was backed up by Olivia Coyle with a 47 and Michaela McAuley and Caroline Chester who both shot 49.
"It was not a very nice day to play golf as it was rainy and the course was very wet so our scores were actually pretty good," Pinewood coach Greg Baechtle said. "The girls did a good job under difficult conditions."
Last Thursday the Lady Panthers faced one of their toughest tests of the season against Wando High School. Earlier in the season the Lady Panthers were able to squeak out a two-shot victory on the Lady Warriors' home course so Pinewood was expecting a tough match.
"Wando has a good team and they always seem to play well against us," Baechtle said. However, the Lady Panthers put forward one of their best efforts of the year and were able to defeat the Lady Warriors by 20 shots, 172-192. Hirai again led the way with a 2 under 34. McAuley had one her best days of the season with a 43. Chester posted a 47 and Coyle rounded out the scoring with a 48.
"Michaela did a great job, she was the key to our win," Baechtle said, "We knew Reona would give us a lead but Wando's No. 2 player is very good and we needed to stay close in the No. 2 spot in order to have a chance."
Hirai gave the Lady Panthers a 5 shot lead in the No. 1 spot and McAuley's 43 meant the Lady Panthers were still up by a shot after the No. 2 players finished. As it turned out the Lady Panthers No. 3 and No. 4 players were able to win easily over their Wando counterparts and that enabled the Lady Panthers to coast to the win. Coyle defeated her opponent 48-59 and Chester took down her girl 47-55.
On Sunday the Lady Panthers captured the third annual Lady Panther Invitational at Legend Oaks. The Panthers topped a field of nine teams for the victory.
Hirai was the tournament medalist with a 76, McAuley had an 89, Coyle posted a 91 and Chester finished out the team scoring with a 94. The Lady Panthers shot a total of 350 to defeat Wando by 7 shots. Fort Dorchester finished in third place with a total of 383.
The Panthers wrap up their regular season play this week with a match against Wilson Hall and Hilton Head Christian.
Next Monday the Lady Panthers will conclude their season with the SCISA state championship that will be held at Pine Forest Country Club.

Former Phillie Lenny Dykstra, in his first sit-down interview since his plea in a grand theft auto case earlier this year, told the New York Daily News that he is not a criminal. What's more, his recent five-month stretch in the Los Angeles County Jail hammered home many much-needed lessons.
The 48-year-old Dykstra, who spoke to the Daily News from a rehab center in Los Angeles, blamed his problems on wine, vodka, pain pills, party drugs, and the rush he got blowing through his millions.
