But wait – there's more!
The least well known thing about Phil Kives was his name. Not a bad thing really, since back in the day it was only proper to have your name in the paper twice: once when you're born and once when you die. This week it was Phil's turn to punch his second ticket. Before establishing K-Tel, which is why he garnered many more print inches than most of our obituaries will merit, Mr. Kives was a travelling salesman. There was a time when travelling salesman was a respectable profession. So respectable in fact that we have travelling salesmen to thank for the Gideon Bibles in every single hotel room, because the Gideon Society was started when two purveyors of door-to-door goods met when on the road. Or maybe not that respectable, because apparently they failed in their initial quest to start a Christian travelling salesman club due to lack of interest. But I digress.
Mr. Kives was, by his own account, a travelling salesman extraordinaire, proving that neither modesty nor lack of self-confidence interfered with his ambitions. One of the keys to his success was the ability to craft questions to clinch the sale that could only reasonably be answered 'yes'. Such as, 'don't you want your wife to cook better meals?' or 'don't you want to look neat and tidy?' or 'don't you think if you listen to classical music everyone will think you are smart?' (Okay, maybe I made that last one up.)
According to Mr. Kives, his career really took off when Seymour Popeil (father of Ron Popeil, scion of Ronco and beloved by fishermen everywhere) refused to let him sell his wares because he was getting 'too big'. Such is the cut-throat world of the gadget huckster. But that didn't keep young Phil down for long: that's when he got the idea to produce compilation records. The first big seller was 25 Polka Greats, surely the most unlikely title to have been snapped up by a million and half U.S. households, the most unlikely part being finding 25 polka tunes that could be labeled as 'greats' (although I don't think Mr. Kives worried too much about accuracy in advertising). Apparently you can still buy Hooked on Classics today, in case you were not one of the original 10 million who added it to their record collection the first time around.
Aside from inventing and popularizing the musical polyglot, Mr. Kives was also a pioneer in the art of the infomercial. If you think about it, this was a natural extension of door-to-door sales: instead of having to knock on the door you go straight into the living room. And given the amount of air time taken up by the modern infomercial, he was clearly on to something.
At this point in history, it is hard to imagine how many new things it's possible to invent. Even Elon Musk is less an inventor than someone seeking to perfect things that have already been invented. So say what you will about the lasting importance of Veg-o-matics and Miracle Brushes, at least Phil Kives made a lasting mark on day-to-day life.
The rites of spring
Opening up the cottage is like a cross between Halloween (the trick part, not the treat part) and April Fool's day (the that's a joke right? part). Even though we do our best to batten down the hatches and wrap a swath of protective cover over everything in sight, the ravages of winter and random acts of time that take place behind our backs always have the last laugh. Herewith the known chronicle of opening weekend 2016 (there will, of course, be ample room for the unknown chronicle to make its presence known in the weeks to come).
1. Although this fact was well known on closing weekend 2015, when the barge was at least considerate enough to limp into the dock rather than give up the ghost in mid-lake limbo, we have four boats with nary a working motor between them. Kind of an issue when living on an island.
2. Even though there are no visible ways they can possibly be getting in, at least one mouse breached the walls last year. We know this because one of the cats deigned to interrupt his nap to fulfill his job description, and not because we witnessed this heroic feat but because a month or two after the fact the carcass made its presence known. So just in case, before closing up I placed mouse poison in attractive locations. And sure enough, at least one mouse had an all-inclusive winter vacation spent dining on Warfarin, sleeping in freshly made beds, and lounging on the couch (which was also apparently a tasty thing to eat).
3. The kitchen faucet decided to call it quits. Probably because some errant drops of water froze in the mechanism that runs the spray nozzle. So the question is whether to spring for a new faucet or just remove the bits that don't work and do without a spray function. The answer, as anyone with a cottage knows, is the latter, because you don't mess with anything that works at least within a tolerable range of acceptability because it will never end well.
4. One of the crowning achievements of 2015 was the final completion of the dock and its associated shoreline deck. I will not go into the details surrounding the 15 year journey to realizing this key infrastructure component because that would just add insult to injury, the injury in question being ice damage. Fortunately most of the dock remains functional. Unfortunately, some effort will be required to rehabilitate other parts. And we all know the only truly limited resource is time.
5. On a more positive note, it looks like the garlic I planted last fall is coming up, as have the early spring flowers. I have never planted garlic before and learned after the fact that you are supposed to separate the cloves, not just put the whole head in the ground, which kind of makes sense but was less obvious than the purveyors of garden garlic seem to think it should be. So anyhow, the garlic is coming up and I will consult Mr. Google to find out what you do with the green bits above the ground and figure out when I'm allowed to uncover what's below the ground. Be afraid, very afraid.
You've got mail
The guy who invented email died earlier this month. Although at this stage in email's evolution, we probably would rather bury Raymond Tomlinson than praise him, there is no denying its influence on how we conduct our personal and business correspondence today.
I having been using email since 1985, giving Ray a bit of a head start to perfect things after he first taught computers attached to ARPANET to address each other individually in 1971. By 1986 I was actually in charge of our entire corporate email system, a responsibility I was as far from being qualified for as being in charge of refueling the space station. Luckily being in charge meant having a group of people who did the actual work of making sure the system was alive and well and accurately transmitting electronic messages coast to coast. My crowning achievement was overseeing the day we had to break the system into two parts to accommodate the growth in user base, which happened on a weekend so as not to prevent inconvenience. And that in itself tells you how far we have evolved (or actually, devolved): it was perfectly okay to go without email on a Saturday and Sunday and the world did not end. Fortunately the electronic surgery went off without a hitch because I have no idea what I could have done if everything had gone south except head south myself to Paraguay or somewhere else without extradition.
Email initially replaced paper memos as the primary device for internal communication. Like email, memos arrived in your personal inbox. Like email, memos were often useless distractions, such as announcing a redesign of the spaces in the parking lot (an actual memo I actually got in 1979). Unlike email, it was easier to say you didn't get the memo and therefore willfully ignore the shift in lines of the parking spaces.
But to give it its due, email is perhaps one of the few electronic innovations that actually contributed to the (as yet unattained) goal of the paperless office because it made the paper memo and its cousin the three-part inter-office communication form obsolete. Oh, except for the guys (and they were all guys) who had their secretaries print out their emails before they would read them, and then have them filed after duly stamping them with the 'read' stamp.
Of course email may have made a dent in paper consumption but it created an entirely new problem: inbox bloat. That's because it's possible for anyone to issue memos to anyone else all day and, even worse, all night. It also allows the dreaded 'reply all' function, which we all know is the 10th circle of hell.
For reasons that escape me, if you search for 'memo template' you will get 535,000 results. I personally have not seen the electronically created version of a paper memo since about 1990. However, one thing that was good about them was there were rules about when to use them, rules what to say in them, and especially, rules about who to send them to – part of what we used to call the 'rules of business' communication. And that's really what companies are trying to re-institute when they make forays into trying to reign in rampant email. If they would just go back to first principles of memo best practices, the problem would be solved. Oops – gotta go – my inbox just pinged me.
Is this a real life? Is this a fantasy?
We should all know the difference between what happens online or on screen and what actually happens In Real Life (IRL) but somehow it is sometimes very hard to distinguish between these two things. Isn't IRL where we spend all of our minutes, hours and days, and isn't NRL (Not Real Life, a term I may have just coined and don't even think about trying to steal it) the antithesis of actual things that matter. But I digress. Here are some things we see every day on various screens and devices that I wish actually existed in real life.
1. Good wardrobes for working women. Although apparently, The Good Wife gets most of her clothes off the rack, the outfits sported by all of the women on Suits and by Claire Underwood as she swans around the White House are all figments of someone's very customized imagination. There are endless instances of beautiful neutral colored shifts, effortlessly glamorous trench coats and leisurewear that never ever existed IRL. If TV shows can't even find clothing appropriate for women in positions of power, how could any normal human being ever hope to look as well turned-out? And even if Alicia does manage to make do with ensembles that do exist IRL, she can only do it by spending $1000 on a blouse (double that on shoes).
2. Technology interfaces. Have you noticed that any technology that appears in a movie or television show bears no resemblance to functionality available on your IRL devices, even if it isn't science fiction? For example, any time something is copied from one place to another, the documents show as a thumbnail and then whisk themselves neatly off the screen in a chic little 'whosh'. Or if something is being transferred secretly from a phone to a thumbdrive (something I'm sure that happens every day), you see each individual file being transmitted in a line-by-analog-line to the transportable device. IRL we still get the 'blue screen of death' more often than we thought was possible in the 21st century.
3. Apartments that people who do not come from a family of billionaires can afford New York, LA, San Fran (fill in the desirable city here) etc. I'm sure that Carrie Bradshaw's midtown bachelor pad would rent for at least $10,000 a month while her earnings as a freelance writer would be more in line with having 5 roommates in a two bedroom slum. People on TV also never have dirty dishes, piles of laundry or cat barf on their carpets. Or maybe they do, and they just have an army of cleaning people that works away quietly in the dead of night to make sure everything is shipshape by morning. IRL we wake up to the same mess we left the night before, compounded by fresh cat barf to step in while searching for something relatively clean to wear.
4. Pets that make money. Of course a handful of people have been able to monetize their pet's cuteness, but if you do the math it works out to about .0000001% of the pet population that is paying their own way. My cats, for example, are perfectly content to sit back (or lie down) and live a completely work-free life, even though they are at least as adorable as any star of the Internet Cat Festival. IRL pets remain on the wrong side of the household balance sheet.
5. Food that dances like no one is watching. The most recent issue of Bon Appetit is entirely devoted to taking pictures of food, including the 'rules' for taking photos at dinner. If you need proof that society as we know it has devolved to a dangerous level of vacuousness, you now have it. Photogenic food is now mandatory, as is the requirement to take and share photos of every meal, snack and raw ingredient. IRL, you are certainly allowed to admire what's on your dinner plate, but then please just get on with the business of actually eating the food.
The name game
Yes, it's a thing. And a very lucrative thing apparently. There is a job called being a 'namer'. People pay people to come up with name for their idea, product, concept, movie, drug, colour, and I'm sure babies if you happen to be Kanye and Kim (do you really think they came up with North and Saint on their own?)
In fact the drug thing is kind of the Olympics of naming because there are so many rules around what you are allowed to call drugs (at least in the half of the world that claims to be civilized). One of the gauntlets a pharmaceutical must pass is the dreaded 'doctor's handwriting' test: Whatever name in question must not be possible to be mistaken for something else when being interpreted by a pharmacist. Something like cyanamid (a deliquescent caustic crystalline compound) turning into cyanide (any chemical compound that contains monovalent combining group CN). Oh wait – maybe not a good example.
We do know, however, there are names that can go horribly wrong. The classic is the perhaps apocryphal tale of the Chevy Nova's launch in Latin America (feel free to look that one up). Another of the better examples of 'what were they thinking' happened in 2002, when thanks to the Enron-related downfall of Andersen Consulting, the major accounting firms were all forced to send their 'advisory' practices to wander on their own in the desert. Pricewaterhousecoopers (in itself a poster child for naming gone very wrong) decided to call its newly minted consulting offspring 'Monday'. According to those who do the math, this exercise in rebranding cost $110 million, or roughly 2 percent of the offshoot's projected annual revenue. Much hilarity ensued. I can report, having been an actual employee of PwC (the post-Monday retrenchment name for the consulting arm), that I am not at all surprised they were hoodwinked into buying that particular version of the Emperor's new clothes. But honestly, what would any sane person be thinking? Here are three examples of what they failed to anticipate.
1. "I don't like Mondays." They missed this one because of course no accountant would know anything about Boomtown Rats, only rat races in general.
2. "Monday, Monday, can't trust that day." In fact, as we know, every other day of the week is fine. So perhaps they should have moved further down the list of potential names.
3. And finally my personal favourite: I Bought Monday. Because probably to escape the shame of retrenching and recoup some of the tithe to the 'namer', PwC managed to convince IBM to buy its consulting arm and thus unceremoniously kicked Monday to the curb. In a more ironic turn of events, once the statute of limitations on accounting firms having advisory businesses expired, PwC proceeded to poach back its key employees from IBM. But that's another story…
So next time you notice – or even more telling, don't notice – a name, remember that it didn't happen by accident. Imax and Jello and Coke and Apple and Starbucks and yes, even IBM, are all proof that names matter.
Love will keep us alive
Blogs didn't exist when Elvis and John Lennon died. There was no Instagram to fill up with selfies of chance encounters with newly dead music celebrities. And there was no Facebook on which to repost eulogies and elegies and bootleg YouTube clips of long lost performances of dubious provenance. Despite the handicap of no internet at the time, I do remember exactly what I was doing when I heard the news (oh boy) in both cases.
I was folding laundry in the late afternoon of August 16, 1977 when word of Elvis' demise came over the airwaves. I can't say I was a huge Elvis fan but he wasn't completely absent from the soundtrack of my youth. Maybe it was his relatively young age combined with his larger than life persona that made it a shocking event. And indeed there were many who were unable to believe a less-than-immortal Elvis (come to think of it, that faction is still alive and well).
With John Lennon it was little more of a momentous event, him being a critical component of the most commercially successful band in the history of popular music (and like Elvis, has made way more money when dead than when alive). He was also young – just turned 40 – but the most unfathomable part was being taken out by a North American 'fan'. And in the true litmus test of how impactful this event was, his death was announced by Howard Cosell on Monday Night Football. Since I don't watch football on Monday nights or otherwise, I didn't find out until the morning of December 9. 1980 when it seemed peculiar that all of the songs on the radio featured John Lennon. Lennon is on record as crediting Elvis for getting him out of Liverpool and he got a chance to meet Elvis when the Beatles were on their 1965 summer tour in the U.S., although apparently he found the meeting less than earth shattering.
Which brings us to David Bowie. I was also not a huge fan, him being more of a guy thing, what with his obsession with spiders and Mars and probably puppy dogs tails. I did warm to him slightly in his disco years, when I am sure his diehard fans just locked themselves in their basements and listened to endless loops of Space Oddity on their reel to reel tape players. But I digress. Although it might seem far-fetched, there are way fewer than six degrees of separation between Elvis and the Thin White Duke. First, Elvis supposedly approached Bowie in 1977 to produce one of his records. Second, 'Golden Years' is supposedly about Elvis. Now of course it is impossible to verify either of these 'facts, being that dead men don't tell tales, but I like them anyway. But what is true is that both David Bowie (Jones) and Elvis Presley were born on January 8.
And then even more dominos started to keel over:
• Glenn Frey from the Eagles, whose favourite way to sum things up was apparently "Ladies and gentlemen – Elvis has left the building". Or at least that's according to Joe Walsh so maybe take that one with a grain of salt.
• Dale Griffin from Mott the Hoople, who I am pretty sure never met Elvis but would not have had any semblance of success without David Bowie because they wouldn't have had 'All the Young Dudes' handed to them on a silver platter, and also because Glam Rock would never have been invented.
• Mic Gillette from Tower of Power, who I am also pretty sure never met Elvis. But in case you are looking for a change of job, Tower of Power is currently searching for a new lead singer (not to replace Mic, he was a brass player guy) if you don't mind being on the road 200 days a year.
And now it's not because of too many deep fried bacon sandwiches or assassins wanting more than 15 minutes of fame or falling prey to doctors with unlimited prescription pads. Instead, it's what takes us all out in the end – bad genes, bad timing and just bad luck.
We're going to party like it's 1999
I'm sure I'm not the only person who thinks that New Year's Eve is a very strange construct. In fact I know I'm not because there was an article about this very thing in the paper today and there is probably a similar one published every December 31st. With apologies for bandwagoning, here are my several cents about this issue.
What is a year anyway? Since you asked, the scientific definition of a year is the orbital period of the earth moving around the sun. So that seems pretty straight forward and something we can all agree on. Oh, except of course if you are a follower of geocentrism (which yes – is actually a thing – that unsurprisingly is apparently tied up somehow with creationism and probably has Sarah Palin as patron saint). But putting aside 'earth as the centre of the universe' truthers, the concept of 'year' all goes out the window after we move beyond the orbit thing, because we insist on trying to subdivide and count time.
Time, of course, has its own existential challenges. According to Mr. Webster, "time is a measure in which events can be ordered from the past through the present into the future, and also the measure of durations of events and the intervals between them." So in other words, time is something we invented in order to explain things like time. But I digress.
At some point we started to assign numbers to years, or orbital periods of approximately 365 days, although the 365 day thing is also arbitrary because the actual length of an orbital year varies depending on where you are situated on the longitude of the earth. For example, at the equator a year lasts 365.24219 days. Anyhow, when we started assigning numbers to years it was long after the start of our orbital birth, or about 4.5 billion years ago if you are in one camp, or 6 to 10,000 years ago if you are in another. So either way you slice it, we are way beyond any year starting with 2000.
Then let's take the decision to decide a new year begins at the beginning of a month those of us who use the Julian calendar call January. January didn't even exist until about 700 BC (or around 4,539,997,285 for purists) and it wasn't until 46 BC (4,539,997,939 on the real calendar) that Julius Caesar decreed in his wisdom that forever more January 1 would be the start of a new year. Then it literally all went to hell sometime in the middle ages when it was decided that all things ancient Rome were pagan and we had to choose some other random point in the year to be the start of a new orbit around the sun, most commonly the vernal equinox which also pretty much corresponded to the Christian Easter observance. Which kind of makes more sense, because spring is much more like a new beginning than winter in my book. Alas, this temporary logic was reversed when towards the end of the 16th century (4,539,998,435 to be precise) the Gregorian calendar restored January 1 as the anointed start of a new year in the Christian world.
So have a great 2016, or 5776, or 1437, or 4,540,000,001. Whatever it is, it's still the first day of the rest of your life.
And, or Not
Apparently George Boole has a crater on the moon named after him. But that is not his key claim to fame. Without Mr. Boole, Google would not exist nor would the internet itself because computers wouldn't exist, which is perhaps why they recently honoured his 200th birthday with a doodle. Despite my dubious relationship with math, I can credit Mr. Boole with a large part of my career direction.
One arm of philosophy (and in case you didn't know, it contains more arms than an octopus) is logic. Logic is, of course, the study of valid reasoning (as opposed to invalid reasoning, which of course is the study of Donald Trump). It goes all the way back to Aristotle or about as far back as you can go, philosophy-wise. I have an entire degree in philosophy in spite of my deep dive into logic, which danced too close to the flame of mathematics to be healthy for my GPA. And this is where Mr. Boole first tried to trip me up with his invention of Boolean algebra. In his own words: "No general method for the solution of questions in the theory of probabilities can be established that does not explicitly recognize, not only the special numerical bases of the science, but also those universal laws of thought which are the basis of all reasoning, and which, whatever they may be as to their essence, are at least mathematical as to their form." Right. Got it. Is it lunch time yet?
But somehow I was able to grab my B.A. in good enough order to escape to graduate school. To be exact, to library school where, contrary to popular belief, you do not learn how to shelve books (well, I guess yes you do, in the form of learning the Dewey Decimal classification system and the Library of Congress classification system, both of which are powers to be reckoned with), but how to find the answers to questions by searching through the existing base of knowledge. So guess you could say I have an entire degree in research. A degree that has been lucratively applied only in the context of not being employed as an actual librarian (but I digress).
The internet is where we researchers live these days. Most people do not venture past the simple yet elegant Google search box or any other simple search presented on the front page of most websites. Pity the fools, for they do not know the power of dipping their fingers in the Boolean pool. Because Mr. Boole figured out the power of three simple words: And, Or, Not. Unfortunately the Boolean search capability is well hidden on the interweb, perhaps to prevent people from actually finding what they want as opposed to what the 'sponsored content' people want you to find. In fact, to get to the Google advanced search you have to go to google.com/advanced search. And so it goes. The more we know the more we can't access it.
According to those that figure these things out, we are approaching the zettabyte threshold of information on the internet. Who knows what we'll get to after zettabytes (aabytes?), but each zettabyte is 1,000 exabytes. One exabyte is 1,000 petabytes. One petabyte is 1,000 terabytes. One terabyte is 1,000 gigabytes. You get the drift. But all I know is the knowledge of how to access all this 'knowledge' (of course excluding zettabytes devoted to cat pictures and Kim Kardashian's rear end) is sorely lacking. Maybe that library degree will become even more valuable as we move deeper into the new millennium. Or not.
Go ask Alice
The third most quoted collection of written works, behind the Bible and Shakespeare's oeuvre, turns 150 this year. Although all of these contenders feature stories that stretch the boundary of credulity (Walking on water? Fairies doing matchmaking?) , Alice in Wonderland (and her further adventures on the wrong side of the looking glass) surely wins the prize for blatantly sheer nonsense. But, of course, in a good way. Here are some of the ways in which Lewis Carroll's influence has permeated our culture over the 19th, 20th, and 21st centuries.
1. Carroll invented the 'portmanteau': combining two or more words and their meanings into a new word. Without him, we would not be bothered by smog, be able to stay in a motel, visit Tanzania, wear a skort to brunch, or eat turducken. Portmanteaus are also crucial to the very fabric of popular culture, as Bennifer, Brangelina, and TomKat can attest.
2. The effect that Alice and her friends have had on the English language ranges far beyond our ability to name celebrity couples. I would venture to guess that many of the internet quotes and aphorisms attributed to the Dali Lama or George Takei (which actually might be the same person) are straight from the pages of Alice in Wonderland. Ever put all the king's horses and all the king's men on an impossible job or realize that if you don't know where you are going any road will take you? I rest my case.
3. As you may know, Through the Looking Glass is structured as a chess game. This led to creation of 'Alice' chess in 1953, which then morphed (literally) into Quantum Chess, where a chess piece is not a static thing but a 'superposition' of fluid properties that cause it to act in any chess role depending on circumstance. This makes Lewis Carroll an honorary physicist and by extension an honorary rocket scientist. Top that, Mr. Shakespeare.
4. Somebody has claimed every possible domain name related to Alice in Wonderland including Jabberwocky. The reason the website owner in question chose jabberwocky.com was because in the initial days of URL land grab, it was the only thing available that had any remote affiliation to his life (that being his favourite poem). As a result, he ended up with a click bait generator rivaling '5 Things You Need to Know About Kim Kardasian's 10 Favourite Vegetables', because of the enduring fascination with all things Alice and the fact that no one can remember exactly how the poem goes when the occasion arises.
5. Finally, in perhaps the most sentient sentiment, Mr. Carroll penned the immortal words: "You used to be much more muchier. You've lost your muchness." And indeed, how much muchness would we all be missing if we had never met the Mad Hatter, suffered the wrath of the Red Queen or believed in talking rabbits.
To everything, there is a season
So now we begin our forced march towards winter. There is no choice but to put one foot in front of the other and soldier on into certain peril. November's gloom looms on the horizon and March won't enter the frame until six months from now. It's almost time to pack up the cans and condiments, put away the deck chairs, and clean the fridge before sealing up the cottage time capsule for yet another year. A task that's enough like every Sunday night to feel familiar yet so very different.
Everything takes on a particular gravitas when you know it will be the last time you will do it or maybe not really the last time it will be done but the last time before winter and the last time before summer rolls around again. Some of this is because of the delicate nature of certain end-of-season chores like winterizing the plumbing, which has clear potential for disaster, while others are equally liable to end in tragedy, but less obviously so. Things like:
1. Forgetting to repatriate the items essential for the winter beach vacation. Unless you wait until March (which everyone knows is not a valid substitute for a January or February trip), good luck trying to buy suitable clothes.
2. Putting the sheets away in a brand new place that seems so logical and such a brilliant solution to whatever the problem was with where you used to put them away. Only it won't seem so logical come April.
3. Placing half-read books back on the bookshelf without a bookmark, especially if the only reason they were half-read is that they got forgotten when a new shiny object of reading desire shoved them down to the bottom of the pile. There is nothing worse than picking up a book in the spring and thinking you have read it already even though you only made it part way through.
4. Not adequately cleaning the oven. Thanksgiving oven detritus tends to become even more petrified over winter. And if you are under the mistaken assumption the oven was left clean in the fall and fail to do a spring inspection, be afraid, be very afraid.
5. Leaving the lounge chair cushions in the 'dock box', hoping they will remain unmolested by rodents (with and without bushy tails) that are known to prefer a comfortable winter camping spot.
But, as the saying goes, to everything there is a season. If not for winter how could we embrace spring? There's a time to hunker down and a time to fling open the windows. A time to plant daffodils and a time to accidentally dig them up in the early spring while planting something else. And, of course, a time to just enjoy the time we are in right now instead of some distant glimmer of summer.

Hi fellow Mums,
We are urgently seeking breast milk for our multiples, one whom cannot tolerate formula and needs surgery in 6 weeks.

Alternatively, if you know of any other breastfeeding Mums who may want to help please give them our email address.
Please contact me at email@example.com and I can answer any questions
We can collect milk from you this week anywhere in Brisbane or South East QLD
Thanks for considering our request

Rafael BenÍtez needs all the accolades he can get as his job as Liverpool manager apparently hangs in the balance, and his team are doing him proud. A 4-0 victory over Bolton Wanderers at Anfield yesterday not only took them into third place in the Barclays Premier League but also means that they are the Lucozade Fink Tank team of the week.
Liverpool are a team who should receive more than their fair share of such awards because when they are good, they are very good. While they are yet to convince many that they have the consistency to sustain

From Our Gurus' Teachings
- Gurudeva's Master Course Lesson of the Day
Bodhinatha's Latest Upadeshas:
"Saivite Beliefs; Religion is Three Worlds in Communication " (February 20,2017)
In our teachings we're both monistic and theistic. In the beliefs of Saivism the idea of the three worlds is the basis and key to understanding temple worship, theism. The inner worlds are there to help you. The essence of the soul is already the same as the essence of God Siva, monism. You just have to find it.

text: She's Covered in Blood and Shit Is on Fire: The Carrie Trailer Is HereDodai Stewart10/16/12 3:40pmFiled to: MoviesCarrieChloe grace moretzKimberly Peircefilm schooled62EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink The film won't hit theaters until March of 2013, but the trailer for the remake of Carrie — based on the 1974 novel by Stephen King — has arrived. Like the 1976 film directed by Brian De Palma, this new version — starring Chloë Grace Moretz — features Carrie covered in blood. But that's all we get to see, for now. There aren't very many details in this trailer: A town is on fire and Carrie is pissed; someone in a voice over laments: "She wasn't some monster… She was just a girl." Can't wait to see what else director Kimberly Peirce (who helmed the award-winning film Boy's Don't Cry) has up her sleeve.

|In an alternate world, the Cold War has continued to persist for 140 years. As a result, the world was divided into two factions: the West Block, and the East Block. As the Cold War drags on, the tension between the two factions, as well as the amount of nuclear weapons they have, rise. Mylene Hoffman is a female cyborg who is a spy for the West Block. Together with three other agents, Mylene partakes in various missions issued by her superiors.
Black Butler (Kuroshitsuji)
|In Victorian-era London, on the night of Ciel Phantomhive's tenth birthday a fire destroyed his manor and killed both of his parents. In a moment of death Ceil strikes a deal with a demon, his soul in exchange for revenge. This demon becomes his butler and calls himself by name of Sebastian Michaelis, to protect and serve Ciel until the deal has been completed. One month after the fire Ciel returns from being missing, with his new butler Sebastian. Ceil is now the head of the Phantomhive corporation, handling all business affairs as well as the work as the Queen of England's guard dog and looking for his parents murders.
|Godō Kusanagi is a 16-year-old high school boy, who once killed the god "Verethragna" and acquired the title of "Campione" ("God Killer") when he was 15. Erica Brandelli is a 16-year-old Italian girl, who is a "Great Knight" of the magic society "Bronze Black Cross" and had fought together with Godo to defeat Verethragna. Godo doesn't like fighting but his title of "Campione" makes him get involved in battles against other Campiones and uncontrollable gods.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion
|The Empire of Britannia has invaded Japan using giant robot weapons called Knightmare Frames. Japan is now referred to as Area 11, and its people the 11's. A Britannian who was living in Japan at the time, Lelouch, vowed to his Japanese friend Suzaku that he'd destroy Britannia. Years later, Lelouch is in high school, but regularly skips out of school to go play chess and gamble on himself. One day, he stumbles on terrorists 11's who've stolen a military secret and is caught by a member of the Britannian task force sent after them, who is Suzaku. As the rest of the squad arrives, Suzaku is shot for disobeying orders, while the military secret, a young girl, gives Lelouch the power of Geass, which makes anyone obey any order. While Suzaku is secretly made the pilot of Britannia's brand new prototype Knightmare, Lancelot, Lelouch becomes the masked Zero to lead the rebellion to destroy Britannia once and for all.
Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2
|It's been one year since the failure of the Black Rebellion and the supposed death of Zero. Britannia has assigned Area 11 a "correctional education" status, where Elevens are made an example of by brute force, to try to prevent any future uprisings and suppress rebellious thoughts. Unsuspecting high school student Lelouch, oblivious to his rebellious past as Zero, stumbles upon a scheme on his life and the life of a mysterious woman known as C.C., who reveals to him his forgotten purpose and his "true" self. Destroying his assailants and declaring himself Zero once again, Lelouch sets out to finish what he started.
|GOSICK takes place in 1924 in a small, made-up European country of Sauville. The story centers on Kazuya Kujo, the third son of a Japanese Imperial soldier, who is a transfer student to St. Marguerite Academy, where urban legends and horror stories are all the rage. There he meets Victorique, a mysterious yet beautiful and brilliant girl who never comes to class and spends her days reading the entire content of the library or solving mysteries that even detectives can't solve.
Izetta: The Last Witch (Shuumatsu no Izetta)
|In 1939, the imperialist nation of Germania launched a sudden invasion of its neighboring countries. This conflagration engulfed all of Europe in one fell swoop, and the era was dragged into the maelstrom of war. Then in 1940, Germania set its sights on Elystadt, a tiny principality blessed with breathtaking greenery and water in the Alps. Izetta is a descendant of a clan of witches who had passed down mysterious powers for generations. Since she was little, she and her grandmother lived their lives on the road, traveling between European countries in order to hide these powers. Fiine is the sole daughter in line to succeed Rudolph III, the ruler of the Principality of Elystadt. Since her father has been stricken by illness, she has been busy preparing for Germania's invasion in his stead.
Maria the Virgin Witch (Junketsu no Maria)
|During the Hundred Year's War between England and France in the Middle Ages, a powerful witch named Maria lives in a secret forest with her familiars. She hates the war around her, and will sometimes stir up trouble against the church that does nothing to stop it. Her interventions into the world, however, run against the plans of heaven, earning her the attention of the Archangel Michael.
Strike Witches 2
|After discovering that Neuroi are capable of communication with humans and making peace with the nest above Gallia, the Witches squads are now on a mission to re-establish communication when the Neuroi completely vanish after a sudden attack. It is then that they discover a new massive nest that just appeared covering almost all of Europe. Ruthless and without mercy it annihilates allied forces along with many Witches. Word of the attack reaches Fuso and a support battalion is deployed to rescue the survivors. Among the rescue team is the former Striker captain Sakamoto Mio and the now civilian Miyafuji Yoshika who wants to save her dear friends.
Unbreakable Machine-Doll
|It is the early 20th century, and Raishin Akabane is a student puppeteer from Japan, who has come to the Walpurgis Royal Academy of Machine Arts in England to study the emerging field of Machinart: a combination of magic and technology with military applications. He is accompanied by a girl named Yaya, who is actually his Automaton: a living machine doll powered by magical circuits specialized in hand-to-hand combat. In the Academy, there is a combat tournament exclusive to the Top 100 students and their automata, to decide who shall be bestowed with the title of "Wiseman", the greatest puppeteer.
Walkure Romanze
|Walkure Romanze's story revolves around Takahiro Mizuno, a student studying at an academy with jousting as its main focus for sport. Takahiro acts as an advisor to the riders of the sport. Takahiro goes through each day tediously until the time of the annual competition draws near. Due to some odd circumstances, his childhood friend Mio Kisaki is enrolled into the competition. As she has never even rode a horse once in her life, Takahiro senses the fear in his friend and becomes Mio's coach.
World Break: Aria of Curse for a Holy Swordsman
|Swords of Salvation, known as Saviors, are special people chosen from across Japan who inherited the memories of their previous lives and able to use the miraculous power of the Ancestral Arts. They are being trained in order to break down Metaphysicals who randomly attack.
Yuri!!! on Ice
|Yūri Katsuki carried all of Japan's hopes on his shoulders to win at the Gran Prix Finale ice skating competition, but suffered a crushing defeat. He returns home to Kyushu and half feels like he wants to retire, and half feels like he wants to continue ice skating. Suddenly the five-time consecutive world championship ice skater Victor Nikiforov appears before him with Yuri Plisetsky, a young Russian figure skater who is already defeating his seniors. Victor and both Yuris take up the challenge on an unprecedented Gran Prix series.

Bryant: 'Local workers undercut, migrants exploited'
12 August 2013 Last updated at 08:27 BST
Labour MP Chris Bryant has defended comments in a speech leaked to newspapers, in which some of the UK's biggest retailers are accused of favouring eastern European workers over Britons.
Speaking the BBC, the shadow immigration minister said that some "unscrupulous employers" exploited migrant workers while undercutting the local labour market.
But he denied that he was accusing Tesco and Next of such practices, despite citing examples of their conduct in the speech.

Hi everyone,
We are currently looking for female baby (6-9months) and little girl (2-4yrs) models in Sydney for lifestyle fun shoots showing off our online start-up's gorgeous handmade clothing collections.

1. A recent image or two of your daughter(s)
2. Your child's name(s), age, height, clothing size

Grade 9
Make your final decision about whether to continue with FET and get your Matric, or enter the world of work at the end of Grade 9. If you decide to aim for higher education, start investigating the course you want to do, where it is offered, and what the entrance requirements are. Talk to your school councellor and/or parents if you need to talk through your options. Decide what learning areas you will need to choose (besides the compulsory ones) to qualify for entry to the course you want.
Grade 10
Start working towards your goal. If you need an NSC for Degree/Diploma or an Endorsement to get into your course, make sure you are keeping up with your schoolwork and studying hard. Choose extra-curricular activities that will help you to learn more, stay fit and keep up with your studies.
Decide Who You Are - The Self-Assessment.
Before you make the final decision about your career path, course and study institution, you need to understand who you are and what you might want to do in your life. This is called a Self-Assessment or a Career Assessment. There are many ways to develop this assessment:
* Talk with your school counsellor. Your high school counsellor has many tools to help you perform a self-assessment.
* Do the self-assessment quiz on the Central Applications Office website.
Identify What Type of Institution You Are Looking For
* Big vs. small
* Local, close but not local, or far away
* Types of courses/majors
* Other activities (sports, etc.)
Grade 11
Assess Your Progress.
How did you do in your chosen Learning Areas? If you really didn't do well, is this because of outside reasons or because you actually don't enjoy those subjects? Do you need to rethink your choice of career now that you've got more sense of what's involved? If outside factors made it difficult for you to keep up with your schoolwork, can you find support to help with this? Your home situation may make it difficult for you to find time for homework or research projects. You may have difficulties with a particular learning area that can be overcome with just a little extra tutoring. Talk to your school counsellor to discuss your options. Don't give up!
Talk to Others.
Other people, like seniors in high school or older friends or family members, have already gone through this and can give you a lot of good information. Find some seniors who have similar learning areas or interests to yours and see which institutions they applied to and who accepted them.
Start a List of Institutions that Match Your Needs.
Go to your guidance counsellor or library and find out as much as you can about the different institutions. You should come up with a list of 5-6 institutions that seem to meet your needs. The institutions should be divided into 3 groups:
* Schools that will probably accept me
* Schools that I really like
* My dream school (even if it is hard to get into or expensive)
Grade 12
Visit the Institution/s You Are Applying To.
Find out as much as you can about each institution and about the course/s you are interested in. Contact the institution's applications office and ask them for information and application forms (or visit www.cao.ac.za to apply to several institutions in one go). Now is also the time to visit their Financial Aid office, and start investigating options for paying for higher education.
Prepare for Matric Trials.
You will probably write these exams early in the third term. Your initial application to your chosen institution will be based on these exam marks, and they will reject or provisionally accept you based on the marks. Make sure you are well-prepared. Get extra help studying if you need it. These exams will also be very important if you are applying for a bursary or scholarship.
Apply to your chosen educational institution/s.
Prepare for Matric Finals.
Your marks for the Trial Exams should have given you a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses. Get extra help if you need it, and go over your exam papers carefully to see where you went wrong. Get plenty of exercise and eat healthy - you won't perform well in this stressful time if you are overdoing the caffeine and not getting fresh air or exercise.
After the Results Come Out:
If you have achieved your goal and got into the institution of your choice, Congratulations! A whole new adventure is waiting for you.
If you have just missed the number of points or other requirement for the course you want to do, consider your options. You may be eligible for a remark if you are only one or two marks short. You may be able to rewrite certain subjects if you believe that you could do better. Consider whether your marks will allow you to do a similar course at the same or a different institution. If you need to take a year to rewrite certain subjects, find out whether you could do an apprenticeship or take a volunteer job in the industry that you want to get into. Do not waste time and don't be disheartened. If you are determined, you will be able to reach your goals eventually!

Well said! It will be interesting to see a school where all the teachers want to help the students to achieve their goals. I imagine how restricted it will be. I don't mind because we need such schools where education and learning are taking seriously. With this background the students will find easier their dream jobs, exactly for what the school prepared them. I've heard that the Grace Bible College is one of these schools.

Although students often leave education in the halfway only to start their career as early as possible they mostly regret this decision later in their career. So it is best to finish your education, if you left it unfinished then complete it at a good community college such as Brevard.
Planning plays a crucial role in shaping your career. It is true that the earlier you start you start the better for you. You could also serve in the defense and later when you come back to school you can enjoy military education benefits.
Planning for career should always start early as you would be able to find plenty of time and opportunities to make things work. Always stay focused on your goal, if you want IT jobs for you then you should try to mold your education that way.
I guess that either way, in order to be sure, two degrees will always do it. In high school it is very important to make the good choice. This way you'll be sure you are going on the right path.

oil in water mixing in shooting from the right side top of intake
just replace with new heads and gasket new intake gasket ran for about a hour and a half cut
it off and saw milky fluids shooting up thur between valve cover and intake .
8 Answers
Sounds like you'll be ripping everything apart again. Sounds like the gaskets didn't mate up properly.
Why did you replace the heads in the first place?
Both sides or just the side I saw it shooting up out of
My mom ran it hot so oil an water mixed I pull the plugs cause it was vapor lock brought new heads threw em on ran it a couple time no problem sat went put more gas in it ran it some more went inside came back it kill so I pop ed the hood saw milky coolant coming from between intake valve cover
If she blew the head gasket, you need to have the engine block decked before you put new gaskets and heads on. Make sure they're torqued down in the proper order and to the proper ft lbs.
new gasket at the least. machine work too
Ripped everything down gasket was'nt harmed ,front marks wher perfect no signs of gasket breach kickin my self in the azz right now dont know how coolant got in to valley ....please help.... Reman heads new gasket everywher u could put a gasket don't know what happed car was running great ,it still runs great besides the coolant and oil mixing...puzzled..........
I was told old intake bolts would leak but not at this rate too much coolant mixture

The brewed tea is sweet and malty with hints of sugarcane. An enjoyable tea with complexity and a thick tea soup that fills and soothes the mouth.
Autumn harvested tea from pure assamica tea trees growing in Guang Bie area of Bu Lang Shan in Menghai county of Xishuangbanna. Bu Lang Mountain teas are well know for producing world-class ripe and raw pu-erh teas because they are strong and bitter with a sweet finish.
This is the purest gold bi luo chun black tea we have ever offered! Just the buds from Autumn harvest tea leaves growing Feng Qing were picked and processed without the slightest inconsistency into this elegant pure gold black tea.
This tasty black tea is composed of Autmn 2016 wild arbor assamica tea from the same plants as we used for our Spring 2014/15 Da Hu Sai village raw pu-erh cake!
A lovely Autumn harvested tea from Yang Ta village in Jinggu county. Camellia Taliensis varietal tea leaves picked from 40 to 60 year old plantation bushes, and processed into this lovely and unique black tea.
This has been picked as 1 leaf to 1 bud sets and processed carefully rolling the tea into pellets. Like most Yunnan black teas the tea benefits from short-term aging and develops a malty sweet taste and lovely fragrance with a hint of chocolate and flowers.
The tea is carefully processed to keep its lovely appearance and guard its subtle sugarcane and malt flavors. This is an incredible and rare tea with an appearance and taste that will dazzle the drinker!
The brewed tea is sweet and malty with hints of sugarcane. An enjoyable tea with complexity and a thick tea soup that fills and soothes the mouth.
This exquisite black tea is made from Autumn harvested tea leaves. Simao area pure bud material. Picked when the tea is still just tender little buds, the tea is processed with great care to produce this lovely rolled Bi Luo Chun Black tea.
A kind of chocolate and malt taste comes from the brewed gold-orange tea soup. Aroma is thick and sweet. An enjoyable experience comes from the aroma, flavor and appearance of this lovely tea.
An incredible premium pure bud black tea. Made from the highest quality high altitude material from Ning'Er county of Simao. Only young bud sprouts are picked and then expertly processed into this delicate and textured Imperial grade black tea!
Purple leaf "Zi Cha" was harvested in Late April from the Jing Mai mountainous area in Lancang county of Simao. The fresh purple leaves were then processed into a flat needle style tea. The processed tea leaves are black with tiny golden shoots on some.
Old arbor Jing Gu area camellia taliensis tea leaves were processed into this lovely lightly-wilted and then air-dried black/white tea and then pressed into these lovely 200 gram tea cakes.
This tasty black tea is composed of Spring 2016 wild arbor assamica tea from the same plants as we used for our Spring 2014/15 Da Hu Sai village raw pu-erh cake!
Tea infusion is grassy and slightly sweet taste with a pleasant bitterness and slightly astringent sensation that generally gives a very balanced taste. Strong fleshy leaves and stems with large tea buds allows brew this tea a huge amount of time!
This is a pure bud Feng Qing area black tea. The tea varietal is a classic Feng Qing hybrid grown for more than 70 years. This is from the original (and old) plantation bushes.
Our Jingmai Wild Arbor tea is made from a naturally occurring Jingmai assamica varietal that is naturally hybridized and smaller in scale than pure assamica. The tea brews up a chocolate and floral sweetness much like a Zheng Shan Xiao Zhong, but with it's own unique character.
This is the classic recipe of light fermentation black tea that has been produced by the Feng Qing tea factory for decades. It is hand-processed at each stage and isn't rolled by machines so the leaf shape is well preserved and un-broken.
Processed with very light oxidization and roasting this Feng Qing area tea has a strong taste with some astringency and a long floral sweet after-taste. This tea will continue to age and develop over the years.
Da Qing village is a high altitude Jinggu village where old tea trees ranging from 80 to 300 years old grow. Our black tea is harvested from these tea trees and is the 1st flush harvest of Spring 2016.

text: Seller: artifactsguru (165) 100%, Location: Sugar Land, Texas, Ships to: US, Item: 131999360677 A fantastic Late Period ancient Egyptian bronze vessel with a fused bronze chain, dating to 525-332 BC. The chain is fused together by effects of time. The chain was obviously much longer at one time. The vessel still contains a light colored material, which could be a cosmetic of some sort. Someone in modern times tried to break some off the chain, which resulted in the damage seen on the side of the vessel. This has been in my collection since the mid 1980's and was purchased at a Houston auction from a collection that was established in the 1960's. The name of the former owner will be provided with the sale. We will guarantee the authenticity of this piece for as long as you own it. This is a wonderful opportunity to own a fine Egyptian bronze vessel. Height without the stand is 4 1/4 ". The stand is included in the sale. Some repair on the side as seen in the picture, otherwise in excellent condition. Material: Bronze, Provenance: Ownership History Available

I LOVED my neuroscience class in college and it was just about the only thing that interested me. The brain is truly fascinating and so complex! How much of the field though is really understood? Is there still a large percentage of neuroscience where there are unchartered waters?
How much of the brain is understood?
It is impossible to estimate the percent known relative to the unknown but although we know a great deal, I suspect it is a bit like space - as much as we know about the solar system, universe, etc., we probably only know a fraction of what might one day be known.
The paradox when it comes to neuroscience, of course, is that the limits of our knowledge of the brain are directly attributed to the organ studying the brain - the brain.
Major advances have been made in molecular biology and in cognitive neuroscience (neuroimaging) but even here the fields are advancing rapidly. I think much of what we known now is on solid footing and won' be upended later, but rather, we will likely add to what we now know..
The US Gov't decision to fund The Brains initiative will go a long way towards increasing our understanding

Ghaziabad: Congress General Secretary Rahul Gandhi has promised to change the face of Uttar Pradesh through development work, if elected to power in the state.
"Your state leaders benefit by creating differences between two castes, religions, take your support in the form of votes and vanish when are needed. This needs to change. The youth standing here will bring about that change," Gandhi told a gathering here.
"A lot of time has gone by since 22 years, give us five years and, I assure you a change, you will not be able to recognise your state in the next ten years," Gandhi added.

Educating your daughter starts a cycle that can only lead to the bettering of your family and the community.
As an educated mother, your daughter will be able to take the best care of herself before her baby is born with pre- and post-natal care. As she cares for her children, she will be able to read the doctor's instructions and follow them carefully.
She will also ensure that her daughters, just like her, receive an education to continue better their lives. Your educated daughter will begin teaching her children at a very early age. Since she will know how to read, she can read to her children and teach them their ABCs and numbers.
Indeed, education is essential for the future of an individual. - Bath Planet

text: There is nothing outside a person that by going into him can defile him, but the things that come out of a person are what defile him." Some manuscripts add verse 16: If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear Mark 7:15 (ESV) And he said to them, "This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many. Some manuscripts insert new Mark 14:24 (ESV) Textual Notes of the ESV in the Gospel of Mark "All variants are either accidental (slips of eye, ear, or mind) or deliberate (in the sense that the copyist either consciously or unconsciously tried to "improve" the text he was copying). Deliberate variations may be for a variety of reasons: harmonization, clarification, simplification, improvement of Greek style, or theology. You need to be aware that the vast majority of "deliberate" variants were attempts to "improve" the text in some way—to make it more readable and/or understandable." [Gordon Fee, in New Testament Exegesis : A handbook for students and pastors (2002). (3rd ed.) p.60, 61.] One of the first tasks involved in the process of translation is to establish the text. Important variants in the text need to be identified. This is important even when following a single textform because differences are found even between manuscripts of a single textform. It is not a new task, these same decisions were made by the translators of the King James Version, who evaluated all the manuscripts available to them and made text critical decisions. More and more modern translations are identifying where these decisions were made and recording alternatives in a footnote. The gospel of Mark in the English Standard Version singles out 30 of these textual variants in its footnotes. Of the variants noted, 24 of them follow the Nestle-Aland 27th Edition Greek New Testament text, four of the 24 are found in both the NA27 and the Byzantine "Majority" Textform [Robinson/Pierpont Byzantine Greek New Testament, 2005], an additional three textual variants are bracketed in the NA27 text and are unbracketed in the Byzantine Majority text. Two variants (Mark 1:29 and 3:32) are not found in either the NA27 or the Byzantine Majority text but follow a minority opinion expressed by Bruce Metzger in his commentary, A Textual Commentary of the Greek New Testament (4th rev. ed., 1994). In one instance (7:24) the ESV follows the Byzantine Majority text which is at variance with the NA27 Greek text but it should be noted that here the Byzantine Majority text agrees with the Westcott and Hort Greek New Testament. In another case (10:26) the ESV follows the Westcott and Hort Greek text which differs from both the NA27 and Byzantine Majority texts. Rob
