Philosophy is quite unlike any other field. It is unique both in its methods and in the nature and breadth of its subject matter. Philosophy pursues questions in every dimension of human life, and its techniques apply to problems in any field of study or endeavor. No brief definition expresses the richness and variety of philosophy. It may be described in many ways. It is a reasoned pursuit of fundamental truths, a quest for understanding, a study of principles of conduct. It seeks to establish standards of evidence, to provide rational methods of resolving conflicts, and to create techniques for evaluating ideas and arguments. Philosophy develops the capacity to see the world from the perspective of other individuals and other cultures; it enhances one's ability to perceive the relationships among the various fields of study; and it deepens one's sense of the meaning and variety of human experience.


text: Time article: He Wants Sex, She Doesn't. Are Beads the Answer? Thoughts? Even though I know that women (or men) may not want to have sex exactly when their partner wants to, I had a problem with this article (and book) feeding into the stereotypes that men always want sex and women don't really want (or need) it. I also think that an arrangement like this wouldn't solve serious issues in a relationship and may just prolong the inevitable: that someone may not be good for you and you need to end the relationship. I also think that this is not a good idea if you partner has a background of rape/sexual abuse and intimacy may be more difficult for them as it is.

I have a serious bone to pick with Mother Nature today. After a gorgeous weekend, we're back to, yup you guessed it, RAIN. :{ For me that means, painfully dark photos and no painting whatsoever. Boo! Thankfully, I did manage to get this quick project done before the skies opened:
I bought this clam tote at the thrift store last week. I gave it a few coats of white paint. And I do mean a few...I ran out of spray paint. Doh!
Once the paint was dry, I printed out my French image onto craft paper. I've seen some other bloggers who tea-stain for an antique look but me being the impatient type I am, I just glued it on and gave it a coat of clear spray.
I was originally going to stencil the front and back but I couldn't think of anything clever to write so I stenciled some numbers on each side.
I used a plain ol' magic marker. Whoops, forgot to sand some of the bubbling stuff off on the top. Whoops!
Still, loving how it came out. And the lavender smells divine!

Thanks for visiting my blog. Your clam tote turned out great but can I make a suggestion? When you go back to sand the bubbles, do a light sanding over your stenciled numbers so they look a bit weathered. Just an idea! It's really cute now too.

Positive changes to block/charge, handchecking could be in store for 2013-14
In a major step toward implementing much-needed changes that should aid offenses, the NCAA men's basketball rules committee has recommended an adjustment in the way block/charge calls are made, as well as encouraging more consistent application of current rules regarding the limitation of freedom of movement on the floor.
According to a release from the NCAA, the proposed rules changes must be approved by the "playing rules oversight panel" (which next convenes via conference call on June 18) before becoming effective for the 2013-14 season.
The block/charge call is the most difficult in the sport, but there is a prevailing sense that has emerged over the past couple of seasons that the balance of that call had tilted way too heavily toward calling charges. The implementation of a charge circle was supposed to help offenses by not allowing defenders to camp underneath the rim, but it just ended up being a crutch for officials, who were forced to look at multiple things (foot placement and defensive positioning) at once, and ended up calling a lot of charges that should have been blocking fouls simply because the defender was outside the circle.
The change in the rule, which will require a defender to be established in legal defensive position prior to the offensive player beginning to raise the ball to initiate a shot attempt (rather than when he leaves the floor) should help shift that balance, and won't reward defenses for last-second slide-ins after primary defenders are beaten off the dribble. It will be interesting to see what impact that will have on teams that teach and use help defense in that way.
The other changes, which really are just a re-emphasis of existing rules on the book, will require officials to consistently and, perhaps exhaustively, crack down on handchecking, armbars, and other techniques used both on a primary ballhandler and on cutters moving through the lane. If the officials do call this regularly, we'll end up with a lot of fouls and free throws early in the season, and then hopefully teams will adjust and we'll see better, more free-flowing offense later in the campaign. The off-ball contact in the lane is an especially big problem in the college game, and it will again challenge coaches who teach this as part of their defensive approach to find another way to successfully guard. As a supporter of the now-ineffective charge circle two years ago, it's clear that what sounds good on paper doesn't always mean it will work in practice, but these seem like reasonable improvements. It doesn't mean there won't be block/charge controversy, as the rule change would just be moving a blurry line, but if the benefit goes to the offense more often, it's a good thing. Once these changes are observed, then a more educated decision on the length of the shot clock can be reached. These are good starting steps in an evolution of the game that is sorely needed.

"You are now being watched by 30,000 drones," Second District congressional primary candidate Blaine Richardson dramatically told the 3000 people assembled at the Republican State Convention in Augusta on May 5. Referring to pilotless aircraft, the tall, red-faced, retired Navy captain from Belfast was reciting President Obama's sins.
After Richardson's speech, I asked him for details. He hedged: "The FAA just authorized 30,000 of them over our airspace." He added: "They've got the GPS location of your house."
Probably Google has my house's GPS location. The next day, when I saw Richardson on the Civic Center floor wearing a shiny black top hat (looking like he stepped off a Monopoly board), I made that point. He responded: "I have 200 acres and I like to take a leak on trees. Wouldn't that look good!"
The guy is paranoid, right? Here's the kicker: not entirely. Even paranoids can be partly right. I did research and — guess what — although there aren't 30,000 drones over America yet, Obama has signed a law pushed by the Drone Caucus and lobby (I am not making that up) encouraging drone use outside the military. There are currently only about 300 drone licenses in the US, most for law enforcement, but many thousands could be flying within a few years — for private surveillance, too. The ACLU is worried.
Don't get the idea Republicans are averse to surveillance — of the right people. Describing the Tampa national party convention in August, the Maine convention program brags of expanded surveillance to control protesters, including $1 million spent on "video linkages between ground police and helicopters." Occupy: better watch out for those drones. Tampa police also will cordon off parts of the city "to keep protests limited."
After proclaiming he'd eliminate Obamacare, Richardson told his many fellow veterans present, "You deserve the best health care," neglecting to mention that VA care is pure socialized medicine.
He wasn't indirectly praising socialism, of course, which was the convention boogeyman. Speakers were universally pro-corporate and pro-rich (a/k/a "the job creators"). The 2012 draft party platform paranoiacally equates "the socialist agenda" with "progressivism."
"God bless you, God bless the state of Maine, and God bless America," said state Senate president Kevin Raye, Richardson's opponent, as he closed his speech. Others closed their speeches similarly. God was omnipresent. A Ron Paul supporter, a new Republican whose father was a Jew, told me he winced when the clergyman giving the invocation Saturday invoked not just God but also Jesus.
The convention's capture by a tribe of marijuana-legalizing, rural, Ron Paul libertarians indicates some GOP diversity — if these folks integrate (or are allowed to integrate) into the party. But the convention provided little other evidence the party was becoming inclusive.
It is vehemently Christian. "Protect the American legal system from Sharia law," exclaimed the draft 2012 state platform. A big threat to America, Sharia law. The platform actually (re)adopted at this convention, though, was the even-farther-out, 2010 Tea Party platform, with its pro-Austrian Economics, anti-UN, no-freedom-from-religion planks.
The anti-immigrant theme was common in the speechifying. Even with the Ron Paul people added in, the party seemed whiter, older, more male than ever — as national polls suggest. When Governor Paul LePage nastily denounced welfare recipients, everybody stood up and gave him a huge ovation. I looked around for the lynching party.
A convention theme was "It's time to take our country back." Mitt Romney's slogan is "Believe in America." The message is: Obama, progressives, liberals, Democrats, people not like us — they're not American.

The 10th Annual Microsoft Imagine Cup starts on July 6th in Sydney, Australia. GeekDad is profiling Imagine Cup alumni leading up to the world-wide finals. For more information, be sure to follow Daniel Donahoo's coverage of the event next month.
David Hayden never set out to start a company. But he did have a problem — one that he solved with determination, skill, teamwork and technology. And his solution could benefit other people like him, so why not market it? Taking notes in class is a chore, after all. Doubly so if you're legally blind.
Five years ago, while at Arizona State University pursuing a double major in computer science and mathematics, Hayden started struggling to keep up in class. Taking notes had always been a challenge. His condition, Bilateral Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, is derived from optic nerves that never fully developed and while he is able to see and focus at extreme close distances, he can't make out detail more than a few feet away, much less a professor's scribbling on a classroom whiteboard. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are an estimated 3.3 million legally blind or low-vision individuals in the United States alone whereby they have some form of sight but is uncorrectable with any prescription.

As always, home team in CAPS.
Houston 4 1/2 Cincinnati
The Texans have totally collapsed the last month of the season. May be they weren't that good after all. I am starting to believe that Matt Schaub is not the answer at quarterback, and this will actually be his first playoff game. The Bengals are good, and they are in their second straight playoff game with Houston. Their defense is actually very good, and lately the Texans' offense has been sputtering. Something has to give. Houston has not been good lately, but there is absolutely no way they lose at home here.
Texans 23-16
GREEN BAY 8 Minnesota
These two teams are playing for the second straight week, but I think the results are going to be vastly different. Adrian Peterson has been incredible this year, and I like how he showed a team first attitude during the game. I think a lot of people are dismissing Green Bay. I also think that is a big mistake. I still don't really believe in the Vikings. I do believe in the Packers. I actually think Green Bay will win this one fairly easily.
Packers 27-17
BALTIMORE 6 1/2 Indianapolis
The Ravens get Ray Lewis back, and it could be a big emotional lift as he announced his retirement after the season. Baltimore struggled a bit near the end of the year, but I still think they can be a very dangerous team in the post season. Andrew Luck has led Indianapolis to an incredible year, but they are a very different team on the road. And the last time I checked, this game is in Baltimore. The Colts have a very bright future, and the Ravens' time could be ending. But not yet.
Ravens 20-13
Seattle 3 Washington
The Redskins are an underdog at home, which is unbelievable to me. That tells us the respect the Seahawks are getting, though it is absolutely deserved. They are a very interesting team. I am still not sold on the Redskins, at least not yet. I am not sure too many people are either which is why they are a home underdog. Next year could be the year we really see things take off in Washington. But that is next year. I think Seattle will win here.
Seahawks 21-14
Record For Week 17: 8-8 ( 13-3 without the spread )
Final Record For 2012 Season: 117-124-4 ( 143-102 without the spread )
Final Game of Week Record: 7-9
Final Stinker of Week Record: 6-10

A number of left-handed Plunket Shield batsmen, including potential bolter Tom Latham, are candidates to open in the first test against England at Dunedin from March 6.
Right-hander Peter Fulton remains favourite to partner incumbent Martin Guptill with captain Brendon McCullum suggesting he'll move to No5. However, competition remains fierce with the final round of four-day cricket starting Wednesday. As Guptill is a right-hander, a left-hander might help disrupt the lines bowled by a potent English pace attack.
Finding another opener is based on the presumption the middle order becomes Kane Williamson, Ross Taylor, McCullum and Dean Brownlie. BJ Watling is likely to retain the gloves and bat at No7, despite increased pressure from Wellington's Luke Ronchi.
As well as Fulton, the Herald on Sunday understands the left-handed quartet of Northern Districts' Daniel Flynn, Otago's Hamish Rutherford, Canterbury's Latham and Central Districts' Jeet Raval (a long shot) are under consideration.
The four-day warm-up match in Queenstown starting February 27 will effectively be a trial for whoever is selected.
If Latham is picked, it would be a major punt by coach Mike Hesson and his selection observers. He averages 31.58 with a top score of 81 in the Plunket Shield this season. His average in 24 first-class matches is 34.05. That does not make a compelling case but Latham, still more than a month shy of his 21st birthday, has a reputation for dedication and diligence.
He was renowned as an aggressive opening batsman through the age grades (including representing New Zealand at the 2010 under-19 World Cup) but opening in a test against England would be a Neil Armstrong-like leap. Latham has yet to pass 50 in eight one-day internationals and three Twenty20 internationals but produced a solid series of T20 runs (23 not out, 22 and 64) for the New Zealand XI against England in Whangarei. Complicating matters is the fact he has not opened in any format this season. Even if Latham misses selection, it is an indication he is part of the future thinking, especially with an England tour in May.
Improved form could also put Raval in the bolter brigade. The 24-year-old averages 41 from 15 innings this season but has not turned any of his five half-centuries into tons. He averages 37.85 in a 35-match first-class career for Auckland and Central Districts.
Given Rutherford's confidence as an opener in the T20Is (58 runs at a strike rate of 153) and the New Zealand XI matches, he shapes as a more likely selection. His last three first-class innings of 90, 162 and 28, coupled with immaculate strokes in the 'V', indicate he can excel in the longest form. He averages 42.52 in 19 matches.
The alternative for Hesson is to give either Fulton or Flynn a reprieve. A theory on the domestic scene contends that, despite his 1.98m height, Fulton remains vulnerable to bounce. That may count against him with the prospect of steepling deliveries from the likes of 1.98m Steve Finn and 1.96m Stuart Broad.
However, he has scored 281 runs at 35.13 since returning from South Africa where he was due an international test recall until he injured a knee. He spent more than four hours at the wicket against Wellington for 94 and 52; made 59 and a duck prior to that against Central Districts. Against Northern Districts, he and Watling were the only players to pass 50. Fulton averages 52.33 and has made three centuries. He turned 34 this month and played the last of his 10 tests in December 2009.
After a dire South African series Flynn has made centuries against Auckland and Wellington but struggled against Otago and Canterbury as he seeks to move up the order. The 27-year-old has a couple of 45s in four opening efforts against South Africa and the West Indies.

Premiering tonight on Cinemax is one of the latest offerings from Wes Craven, 2010's "My Soul to Take".
"My Soul to Take" is a slasher movie brimming with ridiculousness.
The basic plot is that seven children are prematurely born at the exact moment a serial killer ("The Ripper") is killed. On their sixteenth birthday, he somehow returns and begins to kill them off one by one.
There was a point mid-way through where I realized that the movie would have been much better if he could have killed them all at once and been done with it quickly.

Breckenridge Ski Patrol responds to Christmas Day skier death
January 30, 2014
A man died Wednesday, Christmas Day, while visiting Breckenridge Ski Resort, according to a Summit County Coroner's Office news release.
Vladimir Stroleny, 57, from Miami, Fla., reportedly collapsed at about 12:30 p.m. at the top of the Beaver Run lift on Peak 9, the release stated. Breckenridge Ski Patrol responded to the scene and performed CPR while transporting the man to the Breckenridge Medical Center.
CPR continued for approximately 50 minutes before the man was ultimately pronounced dead, the release stated.
Although the cause of death is under investigation and an autopsy has been ordered, chief deputy coroner Regan Wood said initial findings point to the death being natural and possibly cardiac related.

Artist talk and reception for Laurent Grasso exhibition: 'On Air'
Atlanta, GA
1600 Peachtree St.
SCAD Atlanta presents "On Air," an exhibition of recent and new work by Paris-based artist Laurent Grasso, in conjunction with France-Atlanta 2013. A continually shifting viewpoint is at the heart of Grasso's aesthetic and conceptual sensibilities. Using imagery culled from cinema and art history and, working in video, sculpture and, most recently, painting and drawing, Grasso often recreates phenomena — both human and natural — that set up surreal and ambiguous juxtapositions of time and space.
Gallery hours: Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The exhibition, artist talk and reception are free and open to the public.

Yes, honey can be clear.
It can have color and be transparent, and it also can be colorless ( or very nearly so) and be transparent...similar to light Karo syrup.
Since we don't know what we are talking about I will chime in One and only one time in all my time with bees did I get a shallow super of black locust honey which extracted made one gallon. I put it in a one gallon jar and it was so light you could easily read a newspaper thru it. Extracted sugar syrup looks the same but to me the taste difference is obvious.

In November we had a statewide Natural Honey Challenge. Here are a couple of photos I snapped during the sorting of the honey. We had a couple of "water white" entries according to Jack's Scale, and you can see that they are very clear.
The rule was no heating or forced filtration, honey could be strained only.
There is also a photo of the darkest and lightest of the honeys.
One of the very clear honeys was identified by the beekeeper as "palm"; the others were not identified as to type and so classified as mixed floral for the competition.
The very dark honey pictured was identified by the beekeeper as macadamia nut.

Pure 'Sourwood Honey' is nearly as clear as water, and has a light smell of lilacs. It also has a very distinct wonderful taste, that you will never forget!
Our sourwood was extra-light to light amber color and extremely aromatic. We used to make a lot before they cut it all down in our area and planted pine trees. Pure sourwood is very very slow to granualte and some never does.

For me it seems that some batch's are clear, meaning very little suspended matter, and sometimes it is cloudy. I use the same technique every the time. I don't mind either way as long as the customer is happy!

Trying to determine if it is really known that Boba's outfit is a flightsuit or military style pants/shirt? Not sure if I have the money to spend on a custom made authentic looking costume, so here are my plans:
-Already purchased armour, need to paint
-Have DP helmet
-Purchased gloves from Menard's (farm supply). Boomgar's (farm supply) is also a good source for gloves.
-Going with cape instead of jet pack for the time being
-Debating on purchasing either a grey army/air force flightsuit or going with grey BDU cargo pants and BDU shirt. The drawback on each is improperly placed cargo type pockets.
Would appreciate any comments, suggestions, criticisms on which way to go... especially on the flightsuit vs. BDU pants/shirt. Also, at any time was Boba's jumpsuit/pants/shirt tan in color? Some photos look like it, but not certain if it is just the pict.

Crash Course in Protection from the undead - Wednesday, 24 October 2012
The folklore and fiction behind the mysterious world of vampires goes under the spotlight at the Royal Armouries museum, Leeds, on Tuesday (October 30).
Jonathan Ferguson, Curator of Firearms, will give a crash course in protection from the "undead" in a fascinating lecture – plus the chance to get up close to Royal Armouries' recently purchased vampire slaying kit.
Royal Armouries is Britain's only public museum to own one of these mysterious kits, following its successful purchase at auction earlier this year. It now takes pride of place in the Hunting Gallery, in time for Halloween.
The mahogany casket contains everything a vampire hunter might need – including a pistol, crucifix, rosary beads, a bottle labelled Holy Water and even a mallet, plus four wooden stakes.
Jonathan has a particular interest in the folklore and mythology of arms and armour – as well as popular culture and the supernatural. His talk debunks the myths about vampires and looks at the research which led to the kit's purchase.
He said, "Here at the Royal Armouries, we have a Self Defence gallery, detailing the ways in which civilians have protected themselves, and been protected, by arms and armour. This Halloween we are going to tackle a new area of self defence against a threat that most of us no longer believe in but a lot of us remain fascinated by – vampires!"
He said "The more I looked, the more I realised that while the truth remains fixed, "real" can be a flexible term. Some kits appeared old, but how old? Could some have been made for people that really believed, or still believe, in the supernatural?
"I believe I now have the answers to these questions, and many more, and look forward to sharing them in the talk."
For more information about this and other Halloween events, visit www.royalarmouries.org.uk
Tickets are available, priced £5, either in advance, or at the door. Content is not considered suitable for the Under 13s – parental guidance required. Doors open at 6.30pm.

[Contains mature themes] Free for a limited time. He reached out because a year after the discovery of his affair, they aren't fighting anymore, but they certainly haven't moved on. Esther guides them towards a more honest conversation, and a revelation about their communication.
"Terrific series"
They were called Easy Company, but their mission was never easy. Immortalized as the Band of Brothers, they suffered huge casualties while liberating Europe in an unparalleled record of bravery under fire. Dick Winters led them through the Battle of the Bulge, the attack on Foy, where Easy Company reached its breaking point, and finally into Germany, by which time each member had been wounded. Outside Munich, they liberated an S.S. death camp and captured Berchtesgaden, Hitler's alpine retreat.
"I listen to this over and over"
[Contains mature themes] Free for a limited time. A couple with two small children are at physical and emotional odds in their relationship. One has given herself over entirely to the children, while the other struggles to find her place within the family dynamic. Esther helps them reframe each of their roles in terms of what they uniquely contribute.
"Brief but insightful."
[Contains mature themes] Free for a limited time. A husband and wife met while deeply committed to the evangelical faith and didn't kiss until their wedding day; for her, that kiss felt like "kissing her brother." Esther gets creative in an effort to help them create a new sexual relationship.
For decades we've been told that positive thinking is the key to a happy, rich life. "F*ck positivity," Mark Manson says. "Let's be honest, shit is f*cked, and we have to live with it." In his wildly popular Internet blog, Manson doesn't sugarcoat or equivocate. He tells it like it is - a dose of raw, refreshing, honest truth that is sorely lacking today. The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck is his antidote to the coddling, let's-all-feel-good mind-set that has infected modern society and spoiled a generation, rewarding them with gold medals just for showing up.
"NGAF - Not as simple as it sounds"
What is the nature of space and time? How do we fit within the universe? How does the universe fit within us? There's no better guide through these mind-expanding questions than acclaimed astrophysicist and best-selling author Neil deGrasse Tyson. But today, few of us have time to contemplate the cosmos. So Tyson brings the universe down to Earth succinctly and clearly, with sparkling wit, in digestible chapters consumable anytime and anywhere in your busy day.
"Condensed, concise science meets social philosophy with humor and wit"
After a violent coup in the United States overthrows the Constitution and ushers in a new government regime, the Republic of Gilead imposes subservient roles on all women. Offred, now a Handmaid tasked with the singular role of procreation in the childless household of the enigmatic Commander and his bitter wife, can remember a time when she lived with her husband and daughter and had a job, before she lost everything, even her own name.
"Wait! It Mightn't Be What You Think--"
[Contains mature themes] Free for a limited time. They're grandparents, with a 40-year love story and a stable, happy marriage. But one of them had quite a few secrets. Esther gives them some tools to navigate and support each other's experiences.
"Part 4"
The three Theban plays by Sophocles - Oedipus the King, Oedipus at Colonus and Antigone - are one of the great landmarks of Western theatre. They tell the story of Oedipus, King of Thebes, who was destined to suffer a terrible fate - to kill his father, marry his mother, and beget children of the incestuous union. He does this unknowingly but still has to suffer terrible consequences, which also tragically affect the next generation.
"So Well Done!"
While the crew of the starship Flying Dutchman have been trying to assure people that hostile aliens do not have access to Earth, the UN Expeditionary Force has been stranded on the planet they nicknamed "Paradise". The Flying Dutchman is headed back out on another mission, and the UN wants the ship to find out the status of the humans on Paradise.
"Skippy is AWESOME"
A single mother turns up dead at the bottom of the river that runs through town. Earlier in the summer, a vulnerable teenage girl met the same fate. They are not the first women lost to these dark waters, but their deaths disturb the river and its history, dredging up secrets long submerged. Left behind is a lonely 15-year-old girl. Parentless and friendless, she now finds herself in the care of her mother's sister, a fearful stranger who has been dragged back to the place she deliberately ran from - a place to which she vowed she'd never return.
"Too much going on with too many characters"
Dan Hendricks is a man in need of a lifeline. A former CIA operative, he is now an agent for hire by foreign powers on the hunt for dangerous fugitives. It's a lethal world at the best of times, and Dan knows his number is almost up. His next job could be his last - and his next job is his biggest yet. The target sounds trackable enough: Jacques Fillon, who gave up his life trying to save a fellow passenger following a bus crash in northern Sweden. But the man was something of an enigma in this rural community, and his death exposes his greatest secret.
"Full of boilerplate"
How to enrich your life and destroy doubt in five seconds. Throughout your life, you've had parents, coaches, teachers, friends, and mentors who have pushed you to be better than your excuses and bigger than your fears. What if the secret to having the confidence and courage to enrich your life and work is simply knowing how to push yourself?
"Wow, definite 5 star, but when I started the audio I almost turned it off because of my impatience"
Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow's best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday.
"New to Neil"
For nearly four decades, David Sedaris has faithfully kept a diary in which he records his thoughts and observations on the odd and funny events he witnesses. Anyone who has attended a live Sedaris event knows that his diary readings are often among the most joyful parts of the evening. But never before have they been available in print. Now, in Theft by Finding, Sedaris brings us his favorite entries. From deeply poignant to laugh-out-loud funny, these selections reveal with new intimacy a man longtime fans only think they know.
Harry Potter has never even heard of Hogwarts when the letters start dropping on the doormat at number four, Privet Drive. Addressed in green ink on yellowish parchment with a purple seal, they are swiftly confiscated by his grisly aunt and uncle. Then, on Harry's eleventh birthday, a great beetle-eyed giant of a man called Rubeus Hagrid bursts in with some astonishing news: Harry Potter is a wizard, and he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. An incredible adventure is about to begin!
One of the comedy world's fastest-rising stars tells his wild coming of age story during the twilight of apartheid in South Africa and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed. Noah provides something deeper than traditional memoirists: powerfully funny observations about how farcical political and social systems play out in our lives.
"Great book and perfect narration"
Neil Gaiman has long been inspired by ancient mythology in creating the fantastical realms of his fiction. Now he turns his attention back to the source, presenting a bravura rendition of the great northern tales. In Norse Mythology, Gaiman fashions primeval stories into a novelistic arc that begins with the genesis of the legendary nine worlds; delves into the exploits of the deities, dwarves, and giants; and culminates in Ragnarok, the twilight of the gods and the rebirth of a new time and people.
Priceless F. Scott Fitzgerald manuscripts stolen in a daring heist; a young woman recruited to recover them, and a beach-resort bookseller who gets more than he bargained for - all in one long summer on Camino Island.
What happens when the haggling is done and the shops are closed? When the quest has been given, the steeds saddled, and the adventurers are off to their next encounter? They keep the world running, the food cooked, and the horses shoed, yet what adventurer has ever spared a thought or concern for the Non-Player Characters? In the town of Maplebark, four such NPCs settle in for a night of actively ignoring the adventurers drinking in the tavern when things go quickly and fatally awry.
"Enjoyable if you manage your expectations"

"Olga (Kurylenko) and I like to think we're just as terrifying together as Ben Diamond and Ike, with their guns and their gangsters and all of that. We know that when two girls decide that they really aren't fond of each other, it's a whole other level of cat-fighting."

Radiofrequency neurotomy is a procedure to reduce back and neck pain. Heat generated by radio waves is used to target specific nerves and temporarily interfere with their ability to transmit pain signals.
The radio waves are delivered to the targeted nerves via needles inserted through the skin above your spine. Imaging scans are used during radiofrequency neurotomy to help the doctor position the needles precisely.
Radiofrequency neurotomy works better in some people than in others. Tests may be needed to determine if the nerves commonly targeted by radiofrequency neurotomy are the same nerves responsible for your pain.
Rectal prolapse surgery is a procedure to repair rectal prolapse. Rectal prolapse occurs when the last several inches of the large intestine (the rectum) becomes abnormally stretched and protrudes from the anus. Rectal prolapse surgery moves the rectum back to its proper place.
There are a number of ways to do rectal prolapse surgery. Your surgeon will suggest the appropriate one for you based on your condition and your overall health. Rectal prolapse surgery requires anesthesia and a hospital stay of one to several days.
Septoplasty (SEP-toe-plas-tee) is a surgical procedure to correct a deviated nasal septum — a displacement of the bone and cartilage that divides your two nostrils. During septoplasty, your nasal septum is straightened and repositioned in the middle of your nose. This may require your surgeon to cut and remove parts of your septum before reinserting them in the proper position.
When planning septoplasty, your surgeon considers your symptoms — such as breathing difficulties — and the physical structure and features of your nose. Talk with your surgeon about what septoplasty can achieve for you.
Thyroidectomy is the removal of all or part of your thyroid gland. Your thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland located at the base of your neck. It produces hormones that regulate every aspect of your metabolism, from your heart rate to how quickly you burn calories.
Thyroidectomy is used to treat thyroid disorders, such as cancer, noncancerous enlargement of the thyroid (goiter) and overactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism).
How much of your thyroid gland is removed during thyroidectomy depends on the reason for surgery. If only a portion is removed (partial thyroidectomy), your thyroid may be able to function normally after surgery. If your entire thyroid is removed (total thyroidectomy), you need daily treatment with thyroid hormone to replace your thyroid's natural function.
A tubal ligation — also known as having your tubes tied or tubal sterilization — is a type of permanent birth control. During a tubal ligation, the fallopian tubes are cut or blocked to permanently prevent pregnancy.
A tubal ligation disrupts the movement of the egg to the uterus for fertilization and blocks sperm from traveling up the fallopian tubes to the egg. A tubal ligation doesn't affect your menstrual cycle.
A tubal ligation can be done at any time, including after childbirth or in combination with another abdominal surgical procedure, such as a C-section. It's possible to reverse a tubal ligation — but reversal requires major surgery and isn't always effective.
A tubal ligation reversal is a procedure to restore fertility after a woman has had a tubal ligation — a procedure that cuts or blocks the fallopian tubes to prevent pregnancy. During a tubal ligation reversal, the blocked segments of the fallopian tubes are reconnected to the remainder of the fallopian tubes. This may allow eggs to again move through the tubes and sperm to travel up the fallopian tubes to join an egg.
Sterilization procedures that cause the least amount of damage to the fallopian tubes are the most likely to allow successful tubal ligation reversal. Examples include sterilization with tubal clips or rings.
Procedures that cause scarring to seal off the fallopian tubes, such as the Essure or Adiana systems, generally aren't reversible. In cases where tubal ligation reversal isn't recommended, in vitro fertilization (IVF) may be an option. IVF involves retrieving eggs from the ovary, fertilizing them in a lab and implanting them in the uterus.
Uterine artery embolization is a minimally invasive treatment for uterine fibroids, noncancerous growths in the uterus. In uterine artery embolization — also called uterine fibroid embolization — a doctor uses a slender, flexible tube (catheter) to inject small particles (embolic agents) into the uterine arteries, which supply blood to your fibroids and uterus.
Uterine fibroids stimulate formation of new blood vessels to the fibroid. During uterine artery embolization, the embolic agents are injected into these fibroid blood vessels. The goal is to block the fibroid vessels, starving the fibroids and causing them to shrink and die.
Vaginal hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus through the vagina. During a vaginal hysterectomy, the surgeon detaches the uterus from the ovaries, fallopian tubes and upper vagina, as well as from the blood vessels and connective tissue that support it. The uterus is then removed through the vagina.
Vaginal hysterectomy involves a shorter time in the hospital, lower cost and faster recovery than an abdominal hysterectomy, which requires an incision in your lower abdomen. However, if your uterus is enlarged, vaginal hysterectomy may not be possible.
Hysterectomy often includes removal of the cervix as well as the uterus. When the surgeon also removes one or both ovaries and fallopian tubes, it's called a total hysterectomy with salpingo-oophorectomy (sal-ping-go-o-of-uh-REK-tuh-me). Located in your pelvis, all these organs are part of your reproductive system.
Vasectomy reversal is surgery to undo a vasectomy. It reconnects the tubes that carry sperm from the testicles into the semen. After a successful vasectomy reversal, sperm are again present in the semen and you may be able to get your partner pregnant.
Reported pregnancy rates after vasectomy reversal range from 40 to 90 percent. Many factors affect whether a reversal is successful, including the type of vasectomy you had, the time since vasectomy and the experience of the doctor doing the reversal surgery.

Navigating with GPS means having accurate, all-weather, real-time position fixes that are continuously updated. Now introduce GPS with electronic charts and you have a very powerful navigational tool.
With electronic charting, you can view the constantly updated GPS position superimposed on the nautical chart. This spares you the work of plotting latitude and longitude coordinates and laying out your projected courses on a paper chart. At a glance, you can see where you are, where you've been and where you're going.
The Global Positioning System (which does indeed have global coverage) is operated by the Air Force. With 21 satellites now orbiting Earth, GPS is the military's primary radio-navigation system. At any given time, at least four satellites are available to the GPS navigator.
Each satellite transmits a UHF signal. In a manner similar to loran, a GPS receiver calculates position based on the differences in the time that the signals are received. The information from three satellites is as accurate as a calculated, two-dimensional fix. As more satellites are in view, accuracy increases (when altitude-very useful to the Air Force-can also be established).
The Global Positioning System provides two levels of positioning service: Precise Positioning Service (PPS) and Standard Positioning Service (SPS). The military has access to the encrypted Precise Positioning Service, which provides accuracies of better than 20 meters (66 feet). But for use outside the military, the government applies Selective Availability to the PPS signal. This essentially degrades it to the Standard Positioning Service signal.
The Standard Positioning Service signal provides accuracy of 100 meters (about 330 feet) with 95-percent certainty. This means that if you draw a circle with a 100-meter radius around your actual geographic location, 95 percent of the GPS position measurements for your location would fall within that circle. What this means to you is that your boat's position, as shown on the electronic chart, should be viewed as an approximate location, not an exact one. To be safe draw an imaginary circle of ambiguity with a radius of 100 meters around your on-screen position. It's important to recognize that you could actually be anywhere within that circle. Most ship icons on the electronic chart can be increased in size to represent this circle of ambiguity.
The accuracy of GPS can also be affected by factors such as the tendency of radio signals to bounce from trees, buildings, terrain features and other obstructions (also called multipath propagation); and atmospheric distortion. Through advanced filtering and processing techniques, these effects can be minimized to some extent by GPS receivers.
Next time we'll talk about differential GPS.

posted at 2:41 pm on December 31, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Once again, we're looking back at the Hot Air posts that garnered the most traffic in 2012. We had plenty of off-the-mark prognostication in this set, but a couple of surprises, too. Enjoy the trip down Memory Lane; we'll be back with the top ten tomorrow.
- #20 – Video: Romney roasts Obama at the Al Smith Dinner – Mitt Romney may have had trouble connecting with voters through most of the campaign, but this was one of his best moments.
- #19 – Breitbart tells CPAC: I have videos of Obama in college and they'll come out during the election – The videos themselves didn't turn out to be game-changers, but my friend Andrew was one of the biggest game-changers in the New Media. I still miss him.
- #18 – Scarborough: Something's awfully odd about this job report – Odd? Yes. Conspiracy? Not really, and as it turned out, voters weren't even all that tuned in to the BLS reports anyway.
- #17 – Romney up 92K in OH early voting? Update: Gannett pulls link – The traditional newspaper-releases-dummy-numbers-by-mistake story. Gannett later said they regretted the error. I regretted that it wasn't true.
- #16 – Wrap up: The third debate; Update: Insta-polls coming in – It's amazing how much traffic these debate threads ended up pulling. There are more coming, as you'll see …
- #15 – Romney wins; Update: CBS insta-poll shows decisive Romney victory – AP's wrap-up of the first debate, whose outcome was so obvious that few even bothered to dispute it. The result kicked off a wave of optimism, which boosted this post to nearly the top of the list.
- #14 – Open thread: The VP debate – As I wrote earlier, this was easily the most bizarre presidential-series debate I've watched. Commenters agreed, and showed up in droves to discuss it.
- #13 – Open thread: The third debate – Hey, I'm not picking these — you picked these. These debate open threads were tremendously popular, and showed just how much interest there was in these events.
- #12 – When desperation strikes incumbents – It's usually when they start making up attacks based on the name of their opponent. In this case, it apparently wasn't desperation — just childishness.
- #11 – Obama admin recalibrating Benghazi narrative — again — before FP debate? – In mid-October, the White House was struggling to avoid the obvious conclusion that they had tried to deny the truth of the nature of the attack on the Benghazi consulate. The solution? Act offended whenever it came up. Call it the Chutzpah Gambit.

Hi all could you give some advice on converting an Alternator to a tri/quad fin set up. Would prob ask local South Wales shaper JP if he could do it. Would adding to extra fin boxes cause any problems? Would it affect the build strength, weight or balance of the board (or anything else)? On one hand i think something things are best left alone (maybe the Alts design isnt conducive to be ridden as a quad) but on the other, having the extra fin options would be great and add another dimension of verasatility. Cheers
No announcement yet.
Extra Fin Plugs
new posts
If it's an FST board you'd probably need to cut sections of the corecell foam away, put a high density insert of foam in the core to hold the box and then vac bag a new layer of corecell back over the area and then install the fin box within that. Thats the only way I can see to get them in with full strength.
Potentially you could just route a fusions box in and drop it in as they have their own high density layer around the box, but I'm pretty sure Firewire add their own HD foam to bed the fin plugs into for maximum strength.
If it's a Rapidfire board it'll be much simpler.
I think an Alternator would be a fun board as a quad. Chris, I reckon adding a 5 fin option to that model would be a good revamp for next year!
Cheers. Yeah its FST. I think if i was to do something like that i would like it done properly otherwise a little knock would probaly pull the fin plugs out. I wouldnt wanna affect the intregity of the board but from what you describe that sounds very expensive! 5 fins seem to be the way forward for sure!

How far out? Why sheephead?

By Walleye #1 · PostedStick in the Mud I do think sometimes that those fish see so many jigs and shiners that something such as a crawler or leech is a great change up and will get bites. Also with the bug hatches that are happening, those are two great baits. Leech Lake Leech Lake Walleyes once again found themselves spread out and in different areas and related to different pieces of Leech Lake structure. Shiners and Leeches seemed to be the bait of choice for those Leech Lake Walleyes, but plastics are still catching some fish. Be sure to stop in at Full Stringer Bait and Tackle, Swansons Bait and Tackle, Tutts Bait and Tackle, or Sportland Bait and Tackle for all your bait and tackle needs. West End The LOA Fishing Guides found much of their success on the West End of Leech Lake. Focusing in on the flats around West Goose in depths of 7-10ft of water, as well as the wind blown points such as Duck, Big Hardwoods, Ottertail, Pine, and Bowmans. Sucker Bay also proved to have a good wind driven bite throughout the weekend. A Jig and Minnow was the best presentation by far, but in most instances instead of jigging it, dragging or swimming it along the bottom seemed to work best, but when the front came in on Sunday the Leech Lake Walleyes were snapping and aggressively jigging was provoking the bite. When things slowed down, slowing down with a lindy rig and leech put fish in the boat as well. Green cabbage once again was a key to finding active walleyes and jumbo perch in 5-8ft of water. Pitching an 1/8th oz KenKatch jig with a shiner caught Leech Lake Jumbos, Walleyes, and pike. Slip bobbers and leeches/shiners also have put fish in the boat being either fished in the weeds or windblown points. East End/Main Lake On the Main Lake, the rocks still were producing a great bite as well as some of the East End points such as Battle, Sugar, and Five Mile when the strong Westerly winds were blowing. Annex, Submarine, Pelican, and North Bar were all producing fish in 10-14ft of water. Lindy Rigs with leeches or shiners seemed to work best, but the biggest fish still seem to want a 1/8th or 1/4oz jig and shiner.
Leech Lake Crappie and Bluegill fishing still remains strong. When the weather warms up for a couple days both species are moving onto their beds and are actively feeding. Looking to Boy Bay, Millers Bay, Shingobee, and Steamboat for the best action in 3-6 feet of water. Just remember to use selective harvest as these fish are more vulnerable.
West Metro - Minnetonka, Waconia, Prior Lake Fishing Reports by Great Day on the Water Guide Service
By Troy Smutka · PostedMemorial Weekend, Hit Waconia Saturday morning for bass. Caught about 40 largemouth--most from 14 to 17 inches, with a few 17 and 18 inchers--and several nice pike. Fish were in cabbage out from bedding areas, in about 6 to 9 feet of water. Fish were scattered, lying in the weeds looking up for sunfish that are staging in these areas preparing to move in and bed. With this situation, we buzzed spinnerbaits and weedless spoons over and through the tops of the weeds, and the bass aggressively came up on them, as well as some pike. Had one lazy muskie follow as well. Got good footage for a bass segment of Fishing and Hunting the North Country on You Tube. Added footage of a couple smallies from out in the Hutch area Saturday evening. The bass fishing will continue to get better as the water warms, with more big ones, and the sunfish bedding bite is probably only a week or less away. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere.
By Troy Smutka · PostedMemorial Weekend, Out on Washington Saturday afternoon and evening after hitting Waconia for bass Saturday morning. Caught largemouth, smallmouth, and pike. Added footage of a couple smallies to the largemouth and pike footage from Waconia for a bass segment of Fishing and Hunting the North Country on You Tube. Caught the bass and pike on Washington in four to seven feet of water, out from bedding areas, on spinnerbaits, Rippin' Raps, and Shadow Raps. Up on Mille Lacs this coming weekend for a walleye tournament, then will be back out in the Hutch area the next weekend guiding. We were targeting bass this weekend, but got a tip that walleyes are biting on a couple Hutch area lakes on live bait. Good luck, and I will see you out there somewhere.
By Cliff Wagenbach · PostedGeez Terry! Now you will be telling me that walleyes are only good muskie bait! Cliff
By JeremyCampbell · PostedWow dude lol Sup Moose how you been?
By guideman · PostedVermilion has excellent fishing for both bass species The east end has the best Smallmouth action and the west end has the best Largemouth action, however you can catch either on both sides of the lake. For Smallmouth, rocks, docks, points, saddles, reeds, wood and the shoreline rubble are all very productive. Most of the green bass are found in or near the slop and the west end has the best of what they like the most. Spinnerbaits, any color as long as it's white, stick baits, cranks, topwaters, jigs, swim baits and soft plastics all work for Smallies. Jigs, topwaters(Frogs) plastics and a host of other stuff will catch the green bass. Have a great time, the midweek traffic is very minimal. "Ace" "It's just fishing man"
By guideman · PostedBla bla bla, all this Walleye talk is boring me to death. The real opening day is this Saturday when the Muskie opener comes to Minnesota and the Big V. I'll be out fishing with my son and grandson searching for some real fish. The weather looks great, my baits are all sharpened and the new line is on all my rigs. Bucktails, Glittertails, spinnerbaits and minnow style cranks will make up most of our arsenal, however we will also be tossing a few topwaters looking for those Big green girls and not even talking about Walleye fishing. Have a great weekend everybody! "Ace" "It's just fishing man"

By flagislanddan · Posted5/29/17 Fishing report from Flag Island Resort NW Angle, Lake of the Woods Happy Memorial Day! The past week has brought some variation in weather including sunshine, wind and rain. Overall fishing has been good. The bug hatches have started with the fish flies having some impact on the fishing but, anglers are still consistently getting limits. On the Minnesota side, the walleye, sauger, pike and perch bite continues. The magic depths have been between 7-13 feet in the mud and 16-26 feet on rocks. The Flag Island Flats are starting to heat up. Other hot locations include points and near shore reefs. Just the same as last week all tactics have had their day. Jigging, raps and spinners have all been producing once you find what is working. The water temp is around 58 degrees. Over in Ontario anglers are still catching a nice mixed bag of walleye, sauger, crappie, perch, pike and smallmouth bass. The crappies are moving shallower getting ready to spawn. Some depths according to their species are as follows; Smallmouth bass 2-8 feet, Walleyes 20-24 feet and Sauger 26-30 feet. Points, reefs, humps, areas with current, rock piles and inside turns have all worked when looking for locations. A jig or spinner with a minnow or crawler has worked best. The hot colors have been gold, pink and orange. Until next week, good luck fishing! Guides, Dan Schmidt, Jeremy Glessing and Cale Albers Flag Island Resort 218-223-8011

I was thinking about buying another AR15 parts kit, this is part of my consolidate my weapons that shoot the same ammo and use the same mags for the SHTF moments. Then I saw this conversion kit to allow my Steyr AUG to fire AR15 mags. Which means that any of my cached locations that have AR15 mags I can use my AUG.
Aug mags are expensive! and this solves that issue.
Anyone use this setup to fire AR15 mags? Thoughts?

I am contemplating scratching out drone brood for mite control in my production colonies this year or cutting it out. I was wondering what those that do think of each method, and how they do it? My initial thoughts were that putting in a couple of foundationless frames in positions 2 and 9 in the brood nest may be the way to go and giving them a space would stop them reworking decent worker comb into drone comb. I would cut it out drone comb when sealed.
Then what about just scratching the sealed drone comb? I remember seeing that some folks do that, and I wonder, does it kill the mites or just liberate them? If I am reading Huang's article correctly from ABJ October 2012 p983. "Indeed, Martin (1994,1995) calculated the effective rate (i.e. the number of vial/mature daughters per invading mother) as 1.3-1.45 in a single infested worker brood, while for drone brood it was 2.2 -2.6." So I could see that if you liberated the mite and she was able to go on again into worker brood - presumably the only medium if the drones are scratched out - the mite reproduction rate would be slower than allowing the drone-fed mites to emerge.
Anyone have any thoughts on this, or a system that seems to be working?

Johnson City pharmacist signs plea agreement concerning drug addiction
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. - A Johnson City pharmacist, whose license was suspended in August, is expected to enter guilty pleas to drug possession and for covering up the missing pills from his pharmacy.
Thomas Patrick Rowan, the owner of Family Pharmacy and Boones Creek Pharmacy, has signed a plea agreement.
We got a copy of that U.S. District Court agreement and it says Rowan admits to being addicted to oxycodone and xanax since the late 1980s. According to that agreement, he admitted to taking more than 7,000 pills from his pharmacy between February 2011 and May 2012. He also admitted to making fake prescriptions and prescription bottles for his personal use.
In August, the State Board of Pharmacy suspended Rowan's license indefinitely.

An early review of Boardwalk Empire in The New Yorker nearly put me off.
It was basically saying the show was okay but not a work of art like The Sopranos.
Boardwalk Empire creator Terence Winter co-wrote some 25 episodes of the mafia saga but his work here is not appreciated by the reviewer, who said: "The imitation lacks the brilliance of the original."
Which is probably true, though picking future greatness from the first series is a tricky business, as is lumbering a writer with the millstone of past success.
No doubt he'll use some of the tricks from his bag. Hitchcock certainly had no problem with that.
Three seasons in, the show has delivered plenty of delights: solid characters and dramatic stories infused with carefully curated period music and costumes.
Then there's the ornate (CGI assisted) recreation of the Boardwalk itself - now in tatters post Sandy.
And like the aforementioned Soprano's there's plenty of humour, usually delivered via the sarcastic tongue of Nucky Thompson (Steve Buscemi).
The show practically invites you to pour yourself a champagne or scotch and settle into a sofa to soak it all up.
It's a warm bath of escapism but it possesses shocks and barbs too.
It's certainly a box-set to add to the list if you're yet to catch it on Soho or Prime.
A recent memorable scene between Nucky's wife, Margaret (Kelly MacDonald) and a woman in hospital reminded us that like Madmen and The Sopranos, Boardwalk Empire will happily have a go at tackling big issues, and that sexual equality is the enduring elephant in the room.
The scene was a small but perfectly formed thing, a meeting in hospital between Margaret and a woman who had recently miscarried, in living colour, all over the floor.
It's not easy to stage a miscarriage for the edification of viewers and make it more than merely shocking.
Like the best moments in historical dramas, the scene seemed to unfold a piece of history before our eyes.
It gave insight about the complexity of making cultural changes given the sexual and class politics of time.
Margaret was trying to help a woman of a lower class than her, who was naturally suspicious of the well-dressed do-gooder.
Meanwhile the doctor in charge of the hospital was not only deaf to any helpful suggestions from a woman, he was downright belligerent.
If only she had known that drinking un-pasteurised milk was a fatal mistake for pregnant women.
But, no talking of such things was not deemed proper back in the day.
It reminds us of how far we've come but it also brought to mind the "Unfortunate Experiment" at our own National Women's Hospital as recently as the 1980s.
But mostly Boardwalk Empire is a soap opera and an entertainment.
At its heart is the prohibition fuelled crime spree that marked the era.
In many ways it's just like Border Patrol because we're with the smugglers, and against the G men.
I really want Nucky to get the shipment of booze across state lines, just as I want the Thai woman to get into Australia, even though it's clear she's not there just to buy a stuffed koala and visit Uluru.
Is it also somehow ironic that it's usually a second generation Australian smugly judging someone who simply wishes to become a first generation Australian?
While the Aussie iteration of the border based reality show seems mostly concerned with belligerently harassing foreigners, the local version takes a gentler path, but is no less engaging.
And yes, hypocrite that I am, I tend to take a slightly dimmer view of those trying to sneak into New Zealand, usually based on nothing more than the vibe of the individual and the sneaky way they struggle with what is no doubt their second or third language.
What is it about borders that turn us all into red necks?
The pain of passing through customs should make this show unwatchable to all but the saddest masochists, but somehow it draws me in. I have only one defence against it, which is to avoid any part of it.
If I get a slither of it I'm done and will have to stay to see if that Romanian couple really are credit card fraudsters, or to enjoy that Chinese lady getting a good telling off or to discover if that really is heroin sewn into the ears of Mickey Mouse.
Afterwards I feel used.
Like 15 minutes after a KFC binge, the saddest part is that I know I'll find myself back there again.
It might have to make the New Year resolution list however, as I'm worried about the effects of repeated exposure.
Just as KFC can harden the arteries, Border Patrol might just harden my heart.
I'd hate to end up like Richard Harrow (Jack Huston), the half-faced, one-eyed, WW1 veteran on Boardwalk Empire whose exposure to inhumanity has marked him terribly.
In the first series he offered Jimmy Darmody a book:
Richard Harrow: Hrrm. "You want this? My sister sends them to me cause I used to enjoy them.
Jimmy: You don't anymore?
Richard: "Hrrm. It occurred to me that the basis of fiction is that people have some sort of connection with each other. Hrrm. But they don't."
Harrow - a ball of menace and pity - is one of the many highlights on a show with a cast more stacked with more scene-stealers that anything since The Sopranos.
