'Special studies' opened doors
Editor's note: This is a series of columns by John Malcolm on his "50 years at Fredonia." Retired, he is a professor emeritus at Fredonia State.
Thanks to Ron Warren, one of the original photographers hired to staff McEwen and Dr. Robert Deming of the English Department, film production lasted until the 1990s. By that time Fredonia had two film processors and numerous cameras, many donated by local TV stations that were getting out of the film business. Ron was a stringer for WIVB in Buffalo and this contact was very valuable. There was even a commercial editing station obtained in trade from SUNY Purchase.
Much of the equipment was traded to SUNY Binghamton. Apparently they thought that film was still "academically respectable" as it becomes obsolete. (It seems.)
Having made that editorial comment let me backtrack a moment. In 1981 I wrote a short history of speech or communication at Fredonia.
It was done just before the various courses housed in "special studies" were placed in a formal department setting. I was to become the first chair but would continue to function as director of Instructional Resources. I had enough of territorial disputes over equipment with anal AV directors. In writing this history I cautioned readers about my editorial opinions.
There is fragmentary evidence that some form of communication study existed at Fredonia even back to Academy days. The first class in public speaking (oral discourse) was taught by the principal. In more modern times we have a letter from Dr. Robert Thompson, former Dean and Acting President and the man most responsible for the accreditation of the College. (It's a letter to John Ohles for inclusion in his dissertation history of the College dated Oct. 4, 1963. The letter is in the College Archives.)
Thompson picks up the story in the 1930s.
"Fredonia in the thirties was one of the first normal schools of the state to interest itself in speech and speech correction. Acquired a Fairchild machine (disc recorder) and other equipment early, and brought Dr. Mardel Oglivie there. (Later Dr. Oglivie became Professor of speech at Queens College, New York City and a national figure in the speech movement.) Then in the early '50s Fredonia secured the special speech curriculum.
This was the beginning of significant activity dating from the hiring of Solomon Simonson in 1949, a specialist in rhetoric and public address trained at Oxford and a practicing Rabbi. In addition to his Ph.D. he had a law degree.
Dr. Simonson was able to convince President Leslie Gregory of a need for a speech communication program and argued that the program would draw students. (It certainly drew me.) Obviously, in a teacher's college, the program had to be tied to an education degree so a dual major in speech and elementary education was designed. (Certification K-6 in elementary and 9-12 in speech. Also included was provisional American Speech and Hearing Association Certification-Speech Correction.)
John Malcolm is a Fredonia resident.

It's not likely to be a repeat of their lats game at home. But the Piper women's bb team is happy to play on familiar boards. The first game of 2012 is the team's first game at Hutton Arena since Dec. 3 when they exploded for a 106-100 double overtime victory over St. Catherine's. Since then, they have played five games away from home, dropping all of them. HU brings a 2-6 overall mark (1-4 MIAC) into tonight's 7:30 p.m. affair against a revived Augsburg team. A year ago, the Auggies only won five games all season. They have matched that total already with a 5-3 won-loss mark (2-3 MIAC).
HU has not played since December 20 when they lost to Lakeland (Wis.), 67-48, in a tournament in Daytona Beach, Fla. Tonight's tilt is the start of a stretch that sees coach Kerri Stockwell's team play seven of their next nine games at Hutton ... where they have recorded both of their victories. It's the first of three games this week. Carleton (1-7 overall, 0-5 MIAC) visits Wednesday night at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, Hamline travels to St. Joseph to face St. Benedict (5-3, 2-3).

Are You Spending Enough Time With Your Boss?
If you only rarely see your boss, it's time to get on her calendar. A new study claims that spending just the right amount of time with your supervisor might make you happier at work.
A study released Wednesday by leadership training and research company LeadershipIQ found a correlation between time spent with a direct supervisor and employees' levels of work-related inspiration, engagement and motivation.
Researchers found that those levels peak for workers who spend six hours a week with the boss.
Beyond six hours, benefits decreased for many workers. Mark Murphy, founder and CEO of Leadership IQ, said too much time with a boss can become counterproductive or irritating.
"I need a certain amount of feedback from my boss, I need to make sure I'm on the same page," but coaching can stray into micro-managing, he said.
The survey asked 32,410 American and Canadian executives (vice presidents, senior vice presidents and C-level executives), middle managers (directors and managers) and non-managerial employees about their work lives and how much time they spent interacting with their direct leader, either face-to-face or via phone and email.
Executives and middle managers in particular might want to get even more time on the boss's calendar. Executives reported feeling most inspired when they spent seven to eight hours a week with their boss and middle managers' inspiration peaked at nine to ten hours of boss time per week.
Nearly half of those surveyed said they spend three or fewer hours per week interacting with their direct leader, according to the study. Less than 30 percent of those surveyed said they spend six or more hours per week.
Murphy said many organizations have consolidated management to cut costs, which means supervisors have less time to spend among a growing number of direct reports. Stress during difficult times can sometimes mean that supervisors hide in their office when they should be rallying troops, he said.
In an ideal world, managers would interact with their employees on a frequent basis, Murphy said. But realistically, employees should act to get the time they want, he said.
Many managers aren't properly trained in how to do their jobs, he added. When employees are promoted from a task-focused role to a leadership position, some individuals continue to spend too much time on menial projects.
"A lot of times we don't prepare managers for what the management role is really like," Murphy said. "Nobody really prepared them for the fact that the work really is about talking to your people."

Beautiful curly wedding hairstyle
Vibrantly colored tresses are the perfect foil for the traditional white veil and gown. The vivid reddish blonde color pops, and is especially darling as curls touching down on bare shoulders. A silver tiara is set a few inches back from the forehead, and while it is primarily an accessory, it also helps create height for the mass of hair it pushes back. Locks are deliberately left unbound by the tiara, and parted to one side. A short fringe curves over and hugs the forehead, as the rest tumble down in loose curls.

Mr. Speaker, Canada depends on international trade. We are a trading nation. Canadians share the same values in terms of wanting to do what they can to fight for issues such as human rights and basic labour standards. We do not like child labour. We want to ensure that environmental concerns are being addressed. The whole concept between sustainable development and so forth.
These are issues that are very important to us, but also we see the value in terms of international trade. There are trading countries in the world that we have concerns with today. I could cite China and many others that were very dependent on those trade links. Now we have a free trade agreement that we are supportive of in principle. We still believe we could have done more with our neighbours to the south and other nations like Korea and so forth, but we do believe in value for free trade agreements.
The NDP, to the best of my knowledge, has never voted in favour of any free trade agreement. Members are trying to make Panama look like an ugly nation when there are many positive things in Panama. Has the NDP ever voted for a free trade agreement, whether it is Panama or any other agreement that has come before the House of Commons?

Mr. Speaker, I agree with the member that we are a trading nation. One of the difficulties with the current position on trade is that we do not all live in Alberta. Therefore, we cannot all benefit by the jobs created in Alberta because we do not all live there. As the jobs disappear from Ontario, 400,000 good manufacturing jobs that disappeared since the government took office, those people are unemployed and that is a problem.
The NDP believes in trade. We know that trade is a good thing, but there have to be protections in the agreements that we sign with trading partners before we will agree, and there are none in this agreement.

Mr. Speaker, I am rising on a question of privilege. I will be brief because not all the facts are in, but given the rules regarding a question of privilege, I understand it is my obligation to make you aware of circumstances at the earliest opportunity. If you wish, I will make an effort to gather the rest of the information and submit those details at the earliest possible opportunity next week.
Some of my colleagues have been experiencing various levels of obstruction from fulfilling their duties today by virtue of the extraordinary security measures on Parliament Hill. I understand the need for more security when a head of state is here, but I believe that the balance is out of whack in this case. In one case, a 15-year veteran member of Parliament who was known by a security officer was sent back to his office to get proper identification.
I raise this question in the context of the larger issue that I have tried to raise in the House of Commons before, in that it is a disadvantage to members of Parliament and I believe it can even be a matter of violating our collective privilege in that we are not masters of our own chamber but only tenants in the House of Commons. I refer to the fact that although the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Speaker of the Senate are in fact masters of the parliamentary precinct, they have delegated the authority for all the operations, maintenance and security to the Department of Public Works and Government Services and other agencies and we are not, in fact, in control of our own chamber. This, I believe, contradicts the 2000 edition of Marleau and Montpetit, page 275, chapter 7, which states:
One of the fundamental privileges of the House is to regulate its own internal affairs, holding exclusive jurisdiction over its premises and the people within.
Notwithstanding the fact that certain government departments have a role in the upkeep, such as the Department of Public Works and Government Services and Heritage Canada, it is our collective privilege to control the House and the surrounding precinct. If in fact we are only tenants in our own House of Commons, the disadvantage that members of Parliament and the NDP experienced today would suggest it is time for a tenants revolt in the House of Commons.
I refer the House to page 170 of Parliamentary Privilege in Canada by Joseph Maingot, where it is stated:
--the House of Commons is not a department of the government of Canada, but exists as a constituent element of Parliament.
It is further stated on page 170:
Each House of Parliament is entitled to the administration of affairs within its own precincts free from interference.... Control of the accommodation and services within the Parliament Buildings is therefore vested in the Speakers...on behalf of their respective Houses. Thus Public Works and Government Services and other government departments act only on the advice of officials of each House.
This came up when I tried to have the Canadian flag lowered to half-mast whenever a Canadian soldier was killed in Afghanistan. It was ruled that simple act of respect was beyond the purview of either chamber in Parliament and it was the responsibility of the Department of Public Works and Government Services to decide how and when to raise and lower the flag atop the Peace Tower in the Parliament of Canada. That struck me as absurd. Are we not masters of our own domain? Why do we have to ask a department under the direction of the government for an expression of our Canadian Parliament? We have to put significant distance between Parliament and the ruling party, between Parliament and any government department under the direction and control of the ruling party.
It is stated on page 230 of Maingot's second edition:
Members are entitled to go about their parliamentary business undisturbed.
In House of Commons Procedure and Practice, chapter 3 on privileges and immunities, at page 85 on the topic of obstruction, authors Marleau and Montpetit state the following:
In circumstances where Members claim to be directly obstructed, impeded, interfered with or intimidated in the performance of their parliamentary duties, the Speaker is apt to find that a prima facie breach of privilege has occurred. This may be physical obstruction, assault or molestation.
My colleague was not molested to the best of my knowledge, although he may want to share with us if he was. However, members were interfered with to an extent that I do not believe is justified. It was like a fortress today around Parliament Hill. I approached the double fence and asked the RCMP officer if I could pass through. He asked me if I was a member. I said, yes, that my office was in Centre Block, and he allowed me through. However, three or four other members, and even my colleague here, were denied access and were sent back to their offices to get further identification.
Mr. Speaker, I think you would be the first to agree that all members of Parliament are equal in their privileges in this House of Commons and no one should have been interfered with or disadvantaged in any way in accessing their office to conduct their duties as a member of Parliament.
That is the extent of my intervention. I raise it without any criticism of the officers in question. I have every respect for the work that they were doing in following out their orders to make Parliament a secure place and to welcome our guest, the head of state of Israel who was here today.
However, I do remind the House that as members of Parliament we should be in control of our own parliamentary precinct. This work should not be contracted out to Public Works and Government Services Canada or anybody else. It should be the Speaker of the respective houses who control the operations, maintenance and conduct of every aspect of Parliament. We are not just tenants here. As it was put very capably, we are a constituent element of Parliament.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to point out to the House that this morning when I approached the Hill I too had my vehicle stopped. The trunk was searched. I did not mind at all because we have a well-respected international leader visiting our House today.
I know the NDP like thuggery tactics and would like to see all this security taken away and I do know that the member opposite loves the sound of his own voice. However, I am here to say that I do not mind that minor inconvenience to protect another human being who is visiting our House.

Mr. Speaker, I would report on an incident that happened last fall when there were protesters on the Hill against the Keystone pipeline.
The Hill was double-fenced and the stairs were closed off. I approached the RCMP officers who were doing due diligence there and asked if I could stand on the stairs. The RCMP told me I was not allowed to do that. A discussion incurred. An RCMP officer went away and came back with a book on procedure. After reading the procedure with me, he granted me access to that space. Quite clearly, no parliamentarian can be denied access to the Hill for any particular reason.
I would say that an issue that is brewing is the unrelenting increase in security which is hampering our privilege on the Hill. I would like to see the Speaker deal with this question of privilege in good fashion and come back to us with a report on the nature of security vis-à-vis the privilege of parliamentarians.

Carleton—Mississippi Mills
Gordon O'Connor Minister of State and Chief Government Whip
Mr. Speaker, reasonable people have to find a balance between security and access. I acknowledge that members of Parliament have the right to operate within the precinct with free will as long as they are not impeding anybody else. However, when there are visitors here, and we have had many honoured visitors, the security has to go up. When the Prime Minister is around, the security goes up. We have to balance security and access.
This is not the 1800s any more. There is a lot of communication and we have many threats of terrorism from all over the place. We have to make sure that a tragedy does not occur here and that someone does not get injured or killed because security was lax. There will always be difficulty in finding a balance between security and access.
I am sure the Speaker will take this up and investigate it. However, I cannot believe that there was any bad intention to try to impede MPs. I recommend that the Speaker look at this and make sure that there is a balance between security and access.

Mr. Speaker, in terms of access to the Hill, it is incredibly important that members of Parliament feel confident in their ability to access this chamber, especially when the House is sitting. A very obvious statement that needs to be reinforced is it is critically important that members of Parliament representing Canadians have the ability to be in here when the House is actually sitting.
There are arguments to extend it beyond that, but I do not want it to be a reflection on the people in security. My understanding is that they do have pictures of all members of Parliament. Identification is provided to us. We have a special pin. It is not unrealistic for us to expect that we might have to produce identification at some point. The other day I was walking to the chamber with some of my Manitoba colleagues who have been around a bit longer than I have. I was asked to produce some identification. There is always a changeover of staff and some staff members may not know the faces of all 308 MPs.
Having said that, there needs to be something in place that provides comfort to all members of Parliament that they will have the necessary and warranted access to Parliament Hill. The point on access is very critical for us.

The Chair thanks all members who have made contributions relating to this question of privilege.

One of the hon. members asked that a broader report also be tabled. I will leave that for the Speaker to determine. He will come back to the House in good time with a response to this question of privilege.
The House resumed consideration of the motion that Bill C-24, An Act to implement the Free Trade Agreement between Canada and the Republic of Panama, the Agreement on the Environment between Canada and the Republic of Panama and the Agreement on Labour Cooperation between Canada and the Republic of Panama, be read the second time and referred to a committee, and of the motion that this question be now put.
Canada-Panama Economic Growth and Prosperity Act
Government Orders

Peter Stoffer Sackville—Eastern Shore, NS
Mr. Speaker, it is not a question of the NDP being against free trade. What we have always asked for is that trade be fair, and that labour and environmental standards be enshrined in trade agreements. That is a tenet of a social democrat. It is no good that the workers in this country benefit, if workers in the country that we are trading with do not benefit as well.
Let us look at Mexican workers. We were told during the free trade deals with Mexico that their living standards would rise and rise, and so would ours. Well, 400,000 people lost their jobs in Ontario, no rising there. I have been to Mexico a fair number of times, and I have seen some whose standard has not changed too much.
In trading with Panama, the reality is this is a country that is inadvertently a tax haven for nefarious organizations, such as the drug cartel. One would think that if Canada wanted to trade with Panama that it would be paramount that we get Panama to agree to stop being a tax haven for that type of activity. That should have been number one.
Number two, where are the labour and environmental agreements enshrined in this agreement? They are not there.
Number three, the fact is our colleague, the hon. member for Burnaby—New Westminster said very clearly that with the 11 amendments that would have strengthened the agreement, it would have gotten New Democratic support. However, every single one of the amendments was ignored.
I remember a Conservative committee that denied every amendment from a gentleman from Mount Royal on Bill C-10. Every single one of those amendments was defeated at committee. Yet, when it came back to the House for third reading, the government wanted to institute those amendments, but it could not do it. The government took it to the Senate, where the amendments that the gentleman from the Liberal Party proposed were then put in.
Why did the government do that? Just because it has a majority does not mean it has all the good ideas. Our colleague had some very sound and basic ideas to improve and strengthen the trade deal with Panama. They were rejected outright. It was not because the members of the committee understood what he was saying, it was because they were told to reject them. It is as simple as that.
If the government brings us back an agreement that includes labour and environmental standards, and ends the tax haven for drug dealers, maybe the NDP will support this initiative. Until that happens, the government should send it back. The reality is that on every single trade deal that has been out there, the NDP has been front and centre. We have been very clear that there is no deal unless labour and environmental standards are enshrined in the deal. There can be no side agreement, no bargain back here. They should be enshrined in the context of the deal.
That way, labour unions in Panama could collectively bargain with their employers and with their government to have the same rights that our trade unions have here in Canada in their collective agreements. That is the commonality we look for. We also want environmental standards to increase in both countries in order to improve the natural environment of both countries.
If the government does that, we should be able to enter into trade deals in order to assist businesses and workers. Unless that happens, there is really no deal on this side.

Tibetan / Vajrayana
Vajrayana Buddhism is most closely associated with Tibet and can be characterized by the figure of the siddha, the master whose spiritual realization is so profound that he or she has power over the phenomenal world, and in whom the profundity and vastness of absolute truth is fully and completely manifested. Many of our most well-known authors come from this tradition of Tibetan Buddhism .
[Note: The tags for the various schools are not definitive as many books span multiple traditions, etc. They are meant to use as a starting point for exploring this collection.]

A Red Flag Or Me?, M rushing to ex defense

Hi -
firstly, thanks to everyone who helped me last year. We sorted things out and things are rolling along quite nicely - even talking about moving in together.
It's been so wonderful the last several months once I simply let my expectations go and lived in the relationship "now". I guess things progress at their own pace - trying to push just creates frustration.
But there is one little niggle and I'm not entirely sure what to make of it.
First of all, just to be clear - I really don't have a problem with the ex (haven't met her) and totally get that M spends time with his kids whenever the opportunity arises even if that means going over to the ex's house and visiting them all. The ex is married but new husband travels a lot for business and only seems to be there 1 week out of 4.
What niggles me is the exes tendancy to call on my M whenever she is in a pickle. And off he goes to help her. I get helping the kids - but not helping the ex. That just seems to cross a line for me.
The most recent situation is the ex'es ex who seems to be causing a bit of a problem for her. My M has got himself involved to the point where it seems to me he is defending her and helping her out. This is nothing which involves the kids at all.
He asked me when this recent incident came up if I was ok. I said, that I was suprised he felt it nessasary to get involved to whicch he reassured me he loved me and there was nothing for me to be concerned over.
It does niggle and all of a sudden all those old concerns come back - ie. does he see a future with me (no marraige even in discussion) etc etc etc.
Is this a red flag or am I just being a silly V?

Not sure if it's a red flag per se, but it could be an orange flag.
I guess it depends why she's calling him to help her. If her power goes out from a blown circuit, or the washing machine breaks down, things like that - that does affect the kids. If it's to change a light bulb, well, she needs to learn to do it herself.
As for your M getting involved re her ex, as long as the situation doesn't put his children at risk (in which case he absolutely should be involved) I would think that's her husbands role to deal with that. Can you expand a little on this?
I think it would be a good idea, when the moment presents itself to talk to M about boundaries re ex's, where you stand and where he stands and see if the two work. If they don't, see if you can negotiate and compromise.
If the moment doesn't present itself soon, say to your M "can I talk to you about something?", use a pass-the-butter tone, keep it to no longer than 10-15 minutes and then drop it. Use the "when x happens, it makes you feel z and you're starting to feel uncertain about where you stand in your relationship.
Good luck!

No it's not you, urbanhippy. If it bothers you, it bothers you. Even if you have nothing to worry about as regards the relationship, and he is truly just being a friend to her, he needs to listen to how it makes you feel. It doesn't have to be about trust or suspicion - just creating and agreeing on acceptable boundaries.
You are rightly accepting of the contact as it is, especially as it relates to their kids, but there are lines to be drawn, and imho he needs to let her know he can't be her automatic go-to. Not that it is your right to stop him (and I'm sure you wouldn't wish to) - but, absolutely, you can let him know that certain things make you feel uncomfortable, and that includes going to help her with private matters such as this that have nothing to do with him, nor should they. I can't help wondering what her husband thinks of it too!

One of my closest friends is my M's ex-wife. We have a wonderful relationship,
she would do anything for me and I for her. She raised a lovely daughter who
easily accepted me as a companion for her father. That took a very special person
to create that accepting spirit in her daughter.
My M not only does things for his ex-wife, she does them for him and also me, (she and
her husband recently arranged a wonderful one week paid for vacation for my M and me.)
My M also does things for his ex-girlfriend and that does not bother me one bit.
If it bothered me I would know I was in the wrong relationship and move on.

At this time, at least, PureApplication is Linux-only, as I recall.

You buy a chassis that has a V7000 SAN, Networking HW and some other things
like the Flex System Manager ( souped up HMC ). Now you buy Compute Nodes.
There is room for 14 half width or 7 full width or combo to match your
needs. Think of these nodes like blades but horizonal and bigger overall.
You can buy x86 based that will run Windows or Linux, Linux Only( Power7
based I think ) and then Power7 that will run IBM i, AIX and I think
Linux. This all fits a 19inch Rack and only 10U's.
Then there is the PureApplication System which can in clude the HW but is
more focused on providing Preconfigured near ready to run applications.
Like go the website ( app store ), tell it what you want, like say some SAP
product. It sown loads and does the base install for you. The FlexSystem
Manager can create snap-shots of an app or environment that it can the
clone to make new environments.
Sounds like a lot of great tools for managing the HW, Applications and all
the OS's etc. 2 comments I heard at a recent presentation. I thingk the
number was you really needed to at least 3 or 4 Compute Nodes to make the
cost acceptable. Base System starts around $250K
You really need to be a shop/business that needs lots of servers (
physical/virtual ).

Freedom New Mexico
EDMOND, Okla. — Central Oklahoma rallied for the final five points in Game 3, and the Bronchos went on to claim a 25-20, 23-25, 26-24, 25-15 Lone Star Conference volleyball victory over Eastern New Mexico University on Saturday.
Kristen Wilson compiled 22 kills and 23 digs for the Bronchos (11-16, 4-5 LSC), while sophomore Vernonica Valdez (14 kills, 11 digs) and senior Nicole Vanderploeg (10 kills, 13 digs) had double-doubles for the Zias (6-20, 0-6).

The Zias won a nip-and-tuck second game on a kill by Valdez, then led 22-17 late in the third. With the score 24-21, Central Oklahoma rallied back, getting the final three points on kills by Iten for a 2-1 lead in games.
UCO then pulled away in the fourth game, scoring 11 of the final 13 points after the Zias closed to 14-13.

Hello people
Well, the dust has settled a bit, and I have got my head round Paul's latest offering. Take a seat, and have a read....
by the way, I'd like to wish all my mates here a Happy New Year. Cheers...!
He's not really like anyone else, our Paul, is he? He is, in fact, a one-off. Yeah, there are other one-offs in this galaxy we call pop/rock:
Bowie, the surreal, inventive genius who rarely fails to surprise; Springsteen, the blue-collar Joe who connects with his fans like no-one else;
there are, of course, others, many others, but I think the point I'm trying to make about Paul, and I have made it elsewhere, is that his songs are
so...well, Paulish. I have thought about this a lot- why do his songs not get covered more? Ok, Yesterday is the most covered song of all time, etc
but the reason is: they're different. Somehow. Its the chord use, its the effortless musicality, its that voice (more about that later), its the cheeky
little moments when he pastiches himself. The lyrics can be bland at times, admittedly, but what about Monkberry Moon Delight? wtf? Ok, Screaming Jay Hawkins
covered MMD in 1974...you should hear it- its a hoot!
The new album surprises from the start, with the simple, almost Neanderthal riff, the stadium-friendly lyric, the sheer ambience of spontaneity- groovy, spellbinding rocking out.
Save Us is never going to win Ivor Novello awards for brilliant songwriting, but this track is all about feel, and performance. The drum track possesses an energy which has been
largely missing from Paul latterly. You find yourself loving this in a way that hasn't really been possible for a while on Paul's albums. Yes, we are Macca
fans and as such will always find things to like, but love? That's been harder, of late, but the beginning of NEW fills us with a kind of primitive, yearning hope.
And Save Us does deliver, in its uncomplicated, almost inspired, way. This is Wings on speed, and what's wrong with that?
The little creaks and homeyness at the beginning of Alligator put me in mind of Paul's first solo album, all warts and reality. However, the track itself is actually quite complex.
Some of the lead guitar work is a bit 'leaky' and indistinct but is all the better for this. The breakdown is reminiscent of Strawberry Fields-vintage mellotron, and with Paul's new noble
warrior voice, sounds great. The mellotron, in fact seems to pan left, while the very 21st-century synth is positioned off to the right.
Lyrically, Alligator is interesting, all questing and yearning and talking romantically about keys. I love it: there's honesty here, and something else. Maturity, yes,
but also a kind of open-heartedness which is so welcome. The doo-doohs which appear with the harpsichord sound brilliant, and somehow the net result is, paradoxically, cheeky, and boyish, aged and true.
The simple acoustic guitar chords of the third track are deceptively simple- G, C and Eminor- but soon the song builds into something quite substantial, with glorious harmonies, and an almost sitar-like guitar line. There is a harmonium here, organic handclapping, and an ominous up and down guitar figure which is quite exciting in a raw, edgy way. Even the strings, once omnipresent in Paul's work, are mixed nice and low, yet they sound really effective. All in all, On My Way to Work is a standout recording/ performance for me, as well as a great song. Its as autobiographical as Paul gets (ok, Early Days is poignant) and a brilliant performance.
The old mellotron gets another run out in Queenie Eye's intro, and is a bit Dear Prudence. This track occupies that limbo land between pop and rock. Whatever it is, its an energetic
piece, with massive drumming from producer Paul Epworth, and brilliant musicianship all round. This reviewer especially loved the huge slide guitar part that accompanies the choruses. QE is one of those songs that could, depending on your perception, be described as either nonsense verse or a kind of universalist one that can mean differing things to different people. Is this about
Heather Mills? Is it about his long, not always harmonious dealings with those in the music business? Is it about getting on a bit? You decide, but I do love this track, a full aural landscape
with balls and substance.
Paul has a long and lucrative relationship with acoustic ballads, but despite the omnipresence of acoustic guitars on NEW, none are quite what you would call typical MCartneyesque
acoustic fare. Early Days is a kind of ballad, maybe, but this is about looking back to formative years, before fame, before the madness. Yes, its about love, but not romantic love.
You can imagine the old guy with a bit of a tear in his eye coming up with the lyrics for this one:
"Hair slicked back with Vaseline
Like the pictures on the wall of the local record shop
Hearing noises we where destined to remember
We willed the thrill to never stop..."
and he even manages to expand to reach out, with his guru advice to youngsters:
"May sweet memories of friends from the past always comes to you,
when you look for them
And your inspiration long may it last,
may it come to you time and time again".
Much has been made of the title track- its a return to form, its like Got to get you into my Life, yaddah yaddah. Maybe, and for these reasons, and others, this
could be among the weakest tracks on the album. Its not weak, though- its good. Its just that it almost sounds like a song he wrote 4 decades ago, or its the song
we always knew he would write one day. It is light lyrically, but the classic chord progression (triads with bass descending) saves it, as does the lovely instrumentation.
Its jaunty and nice but not really representative of the quality which runs throughout the album as a whole.
Paul, with Giles Martin at the desk, comes up with a cool almost triphop, stream of consciousness gem in Appreciate, one of my personal favourites on this album.
This one really benefits from a high volume treatment- give it a blast! Its free, its floaty, its lovely melody insinuating itself within a very 21st century backing track.
Its hard not to hear his ex Heather featuring in this one, although there is no bitterness biting here- just reflection and dare I say it, a bit of introspection.
A superb song, and a top-notch performance.
For me, Everybody out There is easily the worst track on the album. It sounds like its been created in a test-tube to be performed in vast stadiums. The theme is
decent and worthy enough- "do some good before you say goodbye"- but, though there is a certain conviction at work here, its just a bit banal. While the four producers
on NEW have done a great job in making a fading voice sound good, Paul''s voice- one a rocking force of nature, just sounds thin and painfully overstretched. Not like, sorry.
Hosanna's opening backward guitar figures invite us to join something a bit psychedelic, but this song in fact offers something different. Is Hosanna a woman, or a prayer?
Or is there something deeper going on here? Is Hosanna, in fact, Paul's entreaty to his own inspiration, his Muse, like Paul Simon did so long ago with Cecilia? Certainly, the
old biblical meaning hints at something like 'saviour', so maybe. The track itself is dreamy and features some great liquid bass playing by our man. While it is tempting for some
to describe this as somehow boring, the elements within it mean it is anything but. A fine song, and a real grower.
I can't stop myself from playing I can Bet- over and over! This is infectious, poppy Paul, melodic fun Paul. This is Wings revisited. Where are you, Denny?
Even the bit where Paul goes "oh no..." sounds just so seventies. If he's being at all self-conscious about these littlehers touches, it never shows as the conviction is so total. Also, killer middle eight, dynamics and even a great synth solo Linda could have played! Love love love this. Play loud.
Looking at Her is melodic and synthy in a nice though slightly contrived way: nice enough but a wee bit pasted on maybe? The guitars are good and Paul's voice is effective here in a treated, almost 'bass-off' Beatley way. Don't get me wrong, I like the track, just maybe not as much as some of the others. Sorry!
Road, on the other hand, is a real favourite. Deep, dark and murky, a swampy recording full of existential musings. The voice sounds good here too, and I particularly love the vocal/ instrumental climaxes here. Brilliant, and just too good for Electric Arguments, an album it seems to fit the best.
Turned out is another track where pure conviction and strength of performance outweigh any reservations I may have with regard to the song's merits as a song. Very Wingsy...mmm yeah....and this has a great middle eight. bridge of the kind at which this man is the master... looking back it didn't hurt me...that bit. I like, a lot.
If Seasick Steve was a 71 year-old dude from the northwest of England he may well sound like Paul does on Get me out of here. Or of Rick Rubin was suddenly wheeled in to produce. I noticed what sounds like fingers tapping away at an acoustic guitar here- like on Dear Boy over 40 years earlier. Oh well, there ain't nothing new, is there?
The hidden track begins like a classic Macca piano crooner but there is a lot else going on here. Paul sounds scared and old but in love. And hey, what's wrong with that?

Help! Dev Alpha won't turn on... Red Battery with exclamation mark!
Hi folks,
I was just installing my app to debug on the Dev Alpha and had a problem: "result::failure 500 /pps/system/navigator/control: navigator service failed".
So I rebooted (or tried) my Dev Alpha and now it is showing RED BATTERY ICON with an EXCLAMATION MARK in it.
I can't seem to get it back to life. I've plugged into wall charger for some time, never had an issue before and would always be able to bring it back. I hooked it to Desktop software and tried Retry to connect a few times but won't connect. Keeps making that USB-connection "ding-on" then "ding-off" a few seconds later, doesn't stay attached by USB. I tried pressing power and volume up/down together, not able to get past red battery exclamation mark icon.

Download the Dev Alpha Autoloader from https://developer.blackberry.com/nat....0.09.1675.exe.
Make sure your device is unplugged and start the downloaded application. When the command prompt says "Connecting to bootrom..." plug in your Dev Alpha and hit the power button.
This might fix it, but it will also wipe and reset everything.. EVERYTHING!
- 12-15-12, 01:26 PM Thread Author #3
Thanks. I was hoping to keep some of the apps I already downloaded on there, but I need my Dev Alpha for developing purposes. The few photos I have on there can be trashed too, I don't care.
Will Blackberry App World at least remember which apps I downloaded to my account, so I can download them again after the wipe? Or is that all gone too?
I will try one last thing... Blackberry Desktop Manager latest edition before I resort to the Autoloader. Will update on my progress here.

Yep, you're able to see the apps you've previously downloaded. I'm not sure if it's all the apps, because the App World was also renewed. But you never know. Good luck!

Somewhere in there it says to stop where it says to upgrade the device, you stop and plug into wall. This may get it past that red battery icon, debrick it without overwriting anything. I'll try.

OK... autoloader gets somewhere... turns the light green, and says it is writing some Signature Trailer stuff to the device. However, still can't get past that Red Battery Exclamation mark icon after the Signature Trailer is written.

I try to turn it on, get the same RED BATTERY icon with an exclamation point inside it. Then it turns off again.
- 12-15-12, 04:09 PM Thread Author #8
Ok so after like 20 times of trying this on my WinXP desktop, I copied AutoLoad-DevAlpha-10.0.09.1675 to my LAPTOP and hooked it up there, ran it, went through the exact same "motions" of loading the ROM images and so on. Then showed AGAIN the red battery icon, then just before I threw it against a brick wall (joking) I finally decided to give it one more "three-finger salute" with power button-volume-up/down and it booted!
Holy F&*&... What a waste of several hours! But glad to have my DevAlpha back... Now back to working on my APP!!

I had the same problem. I don't use the Alpha other than testing apps so refreshing the OS was a no brainer
- 12-17-12, 04:29 PM Thread Author #11
I have a feeling this is related to the latest OS update, because I never had this problem before. Coincidence or not? I was running my DevAlpha and rebooting a million times with the last OS. Now I have ended up in this "red battery icon with exclamation mark" boot-up issue since the update. Every time I turn off the device, it won't turn back on, even on a full charge. Maybe it is affecting only the Dev Alpha A?
I have had to reinstall the OS now 3 times within the last 3 days, ever since I updated the OS... and even when I try to reinstall using the Autoupdate feature, it doesn't cure the problem immediately. It goes through the "motions" and connects, turns light green, I see the boot ROM load in and a bunch of QNX files, and then it says "Done. Done.". But then I go to boot it and still NO LUCK. So I keep doing it over and over again, eventually it works but I can't replicate how and why it works and when it does. It just decides to work all of a sudden and then boots. I've tried all manner of pressing different button combinations (power only, power for long time, power and volume up/down keys, etc) and can't figure out what difference, if any, it makes.
I wonder if anyone else has noticed this happening more often or knows what could possibly be causing it to happen, if related to the recent OS update or not, and if it affects only the Dev Alpha A's?
Thankfully my app is tested and submitted, so I have time to chill now... but MAN I was freaking out on the weekend when I was in the last stage of testing/deploying and submitting my app to AppWorld and couldn't get my DevAlpha to work.

Yeah I also was attending the Marmalade SDK port-a-thon and got my app in on Saturday, so I was really panicking too, as I didn't want to miss the deadline for the cash prize. :-)

Help! Dev Alpha won't turn on... Red Battery with exclamation mark!
So I have debricked mine 3 times already... but always struggled for a long time. I tried to remember if I did anything special just before it booted back up.
Here is the sequence:
First, I reboot my laptop and open command prompt, run autoloader and then plug Devalpha to USB and turn it on.
Autoloader asks me for password, I type it and proceeds to load OS with green light on Devalpha.
After I unplug or try turning it on while still plugged but still gives red battery exclamation icon, and use autoloader AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.... like 5 or 6 times.
Not sure if it makes any difference.
So then I unplugged from USB and plugged into wall charger and hit power but immediately unplug or plug wall charger back in while red light on, and then it booted. I also tried the power-volume up-down too.
So I don't know exactly what did it, if maybe it is something to do with when you plug in the wall charger during the red light sequence, the 3-button press reset or what.
If it happens again maybe I will try the wall charger method sooner and see if that works, without reloading the OS (which does not seem to solve anything directly on multiple tries anyways).

It looks like the recipe for debricking is to reload OS and do hard resets as many times as your patience allows. That's at least how I debricked mine: 10 hard resets and 3 OS reloads.
After that, just keep it plugged in. Don't EVER reboot or turn it off.

Help! Dev Alpha won't turn on... Red Battery with exclamation mark!
I also bet the battery has lower mAh than normal to keep costs down, and since it is usually being used for developing and testing it is almost always a few feet away from a charging source anyways so no big deal. Who knows what all those charging cycles on a "sealed" battery over that many months could have done...
As far as bricking in the consumer versions, I am sure this issue was noticed and taken care of already.... So far nobody has mentioned it happening on Dev Alpha B. Plus the battery can be removed on those which may be a solution, whereas Dev Alpha A never really disconnects completely from power so it probably gets stuck in some strange loop that prohibits reboot.
Not to mention, the camera on my Dev Alpha A (prior to this latest OS) was showing a blank screen 90% of the time and was so sluggish it was barely usable. It has gotten way better so I guess that is what Alpha means!
Still love my Alpha though!

Looking back to 1917Posted Tuesday, September 23, 2008, at 7:43 AM
How dare they?? The year was 1917, and Woodrow Wilson was President of the U.S. Several courageous women moved outside the comfortable confines of their homes to demonstrate for the right to vote. The results were appalling.
I remember being shocked when I read "To Kill a Mockingbird," an autobiographical story which took place around 1935, and realized that women weren't allowed on juries during that period of time.
It's been a struggle, and I don't know if I could have done what these trailblazing women did "back in the day..."
The women in the photo were our grandmothers and great-grandmothers; they lived only 91 years ago. It was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls and vote. Like many other causes through the centuries, the struggle wasn't easy.
Women during that period were wives and mothers with no experience in political organizing. They came forward, innocent and unprepared for the fury that would be unleashed on them. I look through the old photographs and am impressed by the calm and serenity in their faces, when I consider the horrible things which happened to them.
On the "Night of Terror," November 15, 1917, 33 women were jailed for picketing the White House, carrying signs asking for the vote. By the end of the night, they were fighting for their lives.
With the approval of their warden, forty prison guards wielding clubs went on a rampage against the women, who were accused of 'obstructing sidewalk traffic.'
They beat Lucy Burns, chained her hands to the cell bars above her head and left her hanging for the night, bleeding and gasping for air.
They hurled Dora Lewis into a dark cell, smashed her head against an iron bed and knocked her out cold. Alice Cosu, Dora's cell mate, thought Lewis was dead and suffered a heart attack.
Additional affidavits describe the guards grabbing, dragging, beating, choking, slamming, pinching, twisting and kicking the women, as their ordeal stretched into weeks.
The warden at the Occoquan Workhouse in Virginia ordered his guards to 'teach a lesson' to the suffragists imprisoned there, because they dared to picket Woodrow Wilson's White House for the right to vote.
For weeks, the women's only water came from an open pail. Their food--all of it colorless slop--was infested with worms.
When one of the leaders, Alice Paul, embarked on a hunger strike, they tied her to a chair, forced a tube down her throat and poured liquid into her until she vomited. She was tortured like this for weeks until word was smuggled out to the press.
In February and March of 1919, just one year before women won the right to vote, 26 of the women who were imprisoned on that awful night in November, 1917, gathered together to tour the country on a cross-country speaking tour called the "Prison Special." Their stories describing their experiences as political prisoners must have had an important effect on their listeners, as the law was passed the next year.
An HBO movie entitled "Iron-Jawed Angels" is being released on video and DVD and is being described as "a graphic depiction of the battle these women waged."
I haven't yet seen the film, but one reviewer says, "It is jarring to watch Woodrow Wilson and his cronies try to persuade a psychiatrist to declare Alice Paul insane so that she could be permanently institutionalized. And it is inspiring to watch the doctor refuse. Alice Paul was strong, he said, and brave. That didn't make her crazy.
The doctor's quote is indicative of those early years of the women's rights movement: "Courage in women is often mistaken for insanity."
Here are some links if you're interested in reading more about this topic:
We have an election coming up soon. No matter how you vote - This story is a good reminder of why we should make the effort to do so.

We had a Night of Terror one time. I believe it was in Michigan opening up for Alice Cooper. I swear I thought he really cut his head off on stage and then after that, some guy gets on stage and acts like he is stabbing Alice. That is my definition of Terror right there.

Madeline, I thought maybe the account of the "Night of Terror" and the events in its aftermath is another Internet exaggeration. But I found it isn't.
I found that Project Gutenberg has a first-person book written in 1920 by Doris Stevens, one of the women involved in the protest and imprisonment. The book is "Jailed for Freedom" by Doris Stevens (New York: Liveright Publishing, 1920. The book can be read, printed or downloaded at no cost from the following link:
(The first several pages are legal mumbo-jumbo, so just go down until you get to the text. (If you have a heart-attack while reading the book the Gutenberg Project isn't responsible, etc.))

MD, I check and Google Books has a complete photo copy of "Jailed for Freedom" by Doris Stevens available to be read online at, http://books.google.com/books?id=3eQm9wZ...

Women are still treated in less than an equal manner today and some of it I have noticed comes from their own gender.
I assume of course that this is partially because of the difference in the way we as society expect girls to be raised and taught.
In a whole lot of ways, whats good for the goose is not yet good for the gander.

-- Posted by goat lady on Wed, Sep 24, 2008, at 5:53 PM
GL, I found the official site for "Iron Jawed Angels" at, http://iron-jawed-angels.com There is a lot of info on the site, including a forum (aka Blog). Someone asked where the title came from, and the answer was: "The somewhat unusually sounding title "Iron Jawed Angels" refers to a nickname the press at that time gave the women's rights activists who were on hunger strike and who had to be force-fed with metal clamps and rubber tubes." They literally had to pry the women's jaws apart to stuff a tube down their throat to feed them a liquid gruel.
There is also a website for Alice Paul, http://alicepaul.org The Alice Paul Institute is very active with many activities throughout the year. Her home in New Jersey has been restored and is known as Paulsdale. She was obviously a tough cookie who lived by something her mother told her: "When you put your hand to the plow, you can't put it down until you get to the end of the row."
-- Posted by FJGuy on Wed, Sep 24, 2008, at 6:22 PM
No, i am not talking about an individual. I am more concerned in general with how women as a whole are viewed and treated, specifically by other women. Just think of how different the reaction would have been if a woman President had been caught having an affair with a young male intern instead of Bill Clinton with the young lady. Impeachment would probably have been the least of her worries and the same women who defended Clinton would have been at the fore front calling for a burning at the stake.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Wed, Sep 24, 2008, at 9:50 PM
Mmm...you're saying that women are harder on their own sex than they are on men. Well, yes, that's probably true. I remember noticing that when I was younger. Now that I'm older, I don't see it as clearly as I did when I felt like I was the target.
Oops, does that mean that I am now one of those mean-spirited old biddies???
-- Posted by goat lady on Thu, Sep 25, 2008, at 7:48 AM
I don't know if you are a mean spirited old biddie or not but I will bet that if you have male and female grandkids the acceptable conduct standards are different. Why?
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Thu, Sep 25, 2008, at 8:39 AM
Behavior standards? I don't think so. Do you mean that if one of my grandsons has sex, I won't take it as seriously as if a granddaughter did the same thing?
That's been the perennial double standard, since the girls get pregnant...

This is so nice that she put this blog on the dailystatesman. It reaches many people and people need to realize this because some people don't.
-- Posted by 20 on Sat, Sep 27, 2008, at 1:07 PM
That is just one example GL. It is that way with most everything if you think about it. Boys are just being boys and girls will be called whatever and ridiculed.
-- Posted by I.B. Le Truth on Sat, Sep 27, 2008, at 6:40 PM
I.B. I whole-heartedly understand just what you mean. If my boys are expected to stay clean because I've just dressed them for a (as an example) Christmas event, it's said by even their grandparents that they're just being boys when they lag through the mud...but had my friend's girls done the same...they'd have been put in the corner because girls aren't supposed to get dirty.
I'm a tom boy, I love to get dirty, I don't like purses and make-up, and I can't imagine what people would have thought of me back in 1917! I love the freedoms that I posess today...couldn't imagine being without them! And had I been raised by my mom instead of my dad, I'm sure I'd be different, as she was a very clean, lady-like woman. There again, even though I'm more than qualified to do certain "male-oriented" jobs, I'm still passed over, no matter how much more qualified I am than them. So yes, I.B., we are still held down in many ways!
-- Posted by mrsdolphin on Sat, Sep 27, 2008, at 9:23 PM
I have just discovered this item and found it horrifying to say the least.
I appreciate that this correspondence is pretty well dead but I must take issue with one detail.
The fourth paragraph of the item states "It was not until 1920 that women were granted the right to go to the polls".By inference this suggests that this was a first.
I am sure you mean "women in the U.S."
Women in New Zealand started voting on 11.28.1893, some 27 years earlier.
-- Posted by wartz on Tue, Jan 20, 2009, at 2:40 AM
I.B.--I'm glad you stated the possibility that a woman could be president. I think the response to an inappropriate encounter of EITHER gender is a big deal--a big deal between the people directly involved. I don't always need to know the intimate details the media so thrills to circulate. My idea is this, though I really wish this incident could be left alone: The president was set-up by a girl who wanted to be known for something. There are children who will "act out" for attention, even negative attention. These children grow up--and they are the ones who crave attention or fame. They have no qualms about setting up someone who will put them in the news. Why not seek the attention of the entire country by enticing the president? It was wrong for both parties involved, but I must reiterate--it was not necessary that the entire world see the suffering of the families involved. Clinton's wife and daughter chose to forgive and move forward. Shouldn't the rest of the world do the same? This incident needs to be put away, yet I'm not naive. There will always be someone who has to bring it to the forefront. It was a mistake. Are WE big enough to put it behind us? I am.

The Beacon
From Fringepedia FRINGE Wiki
|The Beacon
|No theories
| The beacon is a cylindrical, bullet-shaped object with a helical groove around the exterior casing.
It is made of solid Iridium, and emits a frequency at 2 MHz, and again at 4 MHz.
In Brown Betty, the tall tale created by Walter to amuse Ella, the Beacon was used by the Watchers to track down Olivia and Peter. It appeared from under the ground, then broke the wall and stuck in it. It was suggested that the Beacon was created by Walter.
In A Short Story About Love, Peter discovers the tracking device left for him in the Observer's home, then uses it until he reaches a glade in Foxboro. Several seconds after he arrives, the Beacon comes up through the ground and stops. After taking it home and connecting it to electrodes, the Observer appears in a light that emanates from the device. The Observer vanishes when the Beacon departs, apparently incarcerated by the device.

1) Do not answer the questions here.
- Does it 'mark the way', acting as; a reference point, teleportation marking point, and/or a 'soft spot' locator between universes?
- What 'message' did it deliver?
- Is it remnant technology from the First People?
- Is it related to the device Walter designed to eliminate occupying Observers after the Purge of 2015?
- Does it use the same technology used by Jessica Holt to trap The Observer on a stasis platform?
- Are the frequencies it uses designed to hold Observers between the separate frequencies that each universe resonates at?
