Angry United Airlines customers can now vent their fury at a juicy target: the chief executive's pay packet.
United ties about $500,000 of chief Oscar Munoz's annual bonus to customer satisfaction questionnaires. The manhandling of a doctor dragged off an overbooked flight in Chicago— and Munoz's response, widely viewed as ham-fisted — doesn't seem likely to help his cause.
Each day, United collects about 8,000 customer surveys on items such as legroom and the quality of in-flight coffee. Fliers were already pretty disgruntled. In 2016, researcher JD Power rated United last of traditional North American carriers. Early returns are now even less promising.
"United Airlines just sent me a customer survey about my flight yesterday," Meredith Tucker deadpanned on Twitter after the overbooking episode. "Looking forward to sharing my thoughts."
Of course, Munoz won't be begging on street corners if he's docked the half a million. The chief executive has 2016 target compensation of about $14.3m, according to his employment agreement. The actual amount for last year is expected to be disclosed by month's end.
In a filing, the company's board said executive pay is "designed to further our objective of aligning the interests of our employees with those of our stockholders and customers." United declined to comment.
United shareholders have sent the stock price down 1.3 per cent this week to Wednesday.
Hashtag: Awkward
Southwest Airlines also ties part of chief executive Gary Kelly's bonus to a measure of customer loyalty. Delta Air Lines links a part of chief executive Ed Bastian's annual long-term stock award to customer service.
At the airline officially known as United Continental Holdings, the board mentions "customer satisfaction" in the pay filing no less than 20 times. The company didn't specify exactly how that's calculated, though the bonus is tied to improvement of the survey results.

Tech behemoth Apple has been named the most valuable brand in the world for a seventh consecutive year. The highly-regarded ranking, compiled by Forbes magazine, puts the iPhone makers' brand value at $170bn, a 10 per cent increase on figure for 2016 and well ahead of second-placed Google, whose brand value has risen $19.3bn from last year to just under $102bn, according to Forbes.

3/29 Diamond ring bought for £10 at car boot sale expected to fetch £350,000 at auction - Monday 22 May
A large, diamond ring is expected to fetch £350,000 at auction 30 years after its owner paid £10 for it at a car boot sale, thinking it was a costume jewel. The "exceptionally-sized" stone was presumed not to be real because 19th Century diamonds were not cut to show off their brilliance like today's gems. And so the owner, unaware of its value, wore it for decades, while doing everything from the shopping to the chores.

6/29 Property tycoon who banned 'coloured people because of curry smells' faces legal action - Thursday 18 May
A buy-to-let tycoon who banned "coloured people" from his properties "because of curry smells" is facing legal action brought by the equality watchdog. Millionaire Fergus Wilson, who reportedly owns close to 1,000 properties in Kent, sent an email to a local letting agency informing them of the ban. Commission chief executive, Rebecca Hilsenrath, said: "We have asked the court if it agrees with us that Mr Wilson's lettings policy contains unlawful criteria and, if so, to issue an injunction. "As this is now formal legal action we will release further information at a later date."

KitKat-maker Nestlé has been foiled again, after a UK Court of Appeal ruled that the consumer goods giant cannot trademark the shape of its popular four-fingered chocolate bar. The ruling is the latest in a long running legal battle between the Swiss-based company and its rival Cadbury. Nestlé argues that the KitKat's shape is "iconic" and should be protected by law but Cadbury objects. On Wednesday, the Court of Appeal ruled in favour of Cadbury, dismissing the claim.
8/29 Yorkshire is the best region in the UK for workplace happiness - Tuesday 16 May
The best region in Britain for workplace happiness and satisfaction is Yorkshire and the Humber, according to new research. London only managed to make it to number five for happiness and came bottom for work satisfaction, according to research commissioned by recruitment agency Robert Half.

He may be almost unbeatable on the tennis court, but how will Andy Murray fare in the world of investing? On Monday, a company that claims to make the world's first folding bike helmet announced that the tennis pro was one of more than 400 individuals who had helped it raise nearly £700,000 on crowdfunding platform Seedrs. Morpher's bike helmets fold and unfold, meaning that they can easily be slipped into a bag when not in use, catering to cyclists who find normal helmets cumbersome to carry around.

Morrisons will start selling deformed avocados at a third of the average cost of normally-shaped ones as growing demand and reduced harvests from major producers has pushed up prices in recent weeks. The supermarket said on Friday that it would start selling the misshapen and superficially blemished fruits for 39p each or £2.40 a kilogramme in the majority of its stores across the UK starting from 15 May until the end of the summer. Morrisons claims that its offer is the cheapest on the UK market and compares to an average retail price of £1.05 apiece, which is up from 98p last year.
11/29 Unilever develops technology to prevent billions of plastic sachets from entering into oceans - Thuesday 11 May
Unilever, the consumer goods giant behind brands such as Dove, Ben & Jerry's and Marmite, is making a big push toward more sustainable packaging. The company sells billions of products in single-use sachets each year, including cosmetics and food products, particularly in developing and emerging markets. It says that it has now developed new technology to recycle them, which will prevent packaging from ending up in our oceans or in landfill. Through a system called CreaSolv Process, the plastic from the sachets will be recovered and then used to create new ones for Unilever products – creating a full circular economy approach.

15/29 Donald Trump administration loses trade battle over tuna as WTO lets Mexico hit US with sanctions - Wednesday April 26
The US has just lost a major trade battle with Mexico and it revolved around tuna. On Tuesday, the World Trade Organisation ruled that Mexico is allowed to impose $163m (£127m) a year in sanctions against the US on trade in tuna, ending a years-long dispute. The clash, which dates back to 2008, centred on the US insisting that any Mexican tuna sold in the US must have a 'dolphin safe' guarantee, meaning that no dolphins were killed by fishermen catching the tuna.

Shares in the company dropped 6 per cent to $23.70 (£18.50) in after-hours trading in New York on Thursday after the toymaker reported a loss of $133.2m or 33 cents per share for the three months to 31 March. Barbie sales, which begun to recover last year after the toymaker introduced new dolls with different body types and skin colours, slipped again with gross sales down 13 per cent compared to a year ago - their second consecutive quarter of decline.
19/29 Government to sell Green Investment Bank to Macquarie in £2.3bn deal - Thursday 20 April
The British Government said on Thursday it would sell Green Investment Bank to a consortium led by Macquarie Bank in a deal worth £2.3bn. The British Government set up GIB, which backs green projects with public funds, in 2012 as a commercial venture to spur private investment in green projects. It has invested more than £2bn in projects such as offshore wind farms and waste management. The Government decided to sell a majority stake in 2015, saying it would give the bank more freedom to borrow, remove state aid restrictions and allow it to attract more capital.

26/29 Cuban family making their own wine brand using condoms - Wednesday April 5
family wine business in Cuba is thriving thanks in part to an unconventional item being added into the fermentation process – condoms. As a result of the US trade embargo and other inefficiencies of Cuba's economy, thousands of basic household items are inaccessible to Cubans meaning that sometimes a little creativity is required to get the job done. At El Canal, a winery in Havana, Orestes Estevez and his family fill glass jugs with grapes, ginger and hibiscus, before securing a condom over each glass jug Allowing Heathrow to expand will create "a serious obstacle" to meeting the UK's commitments on climate change and reducing air pollution, a leading scientist has warned.
27/29 'Pink Star' diamond sells for world record £57m in Hong Kong auction - Tuesday April 4
A rare pink diamond dubbed the "Pink Star" has become the world's most expensive gemstone to sell at auction, coming under the hammer in Hong Kong on Tuesday for $71.2m (£57.3m). The oval-cut 59.6 carat jewel, discovered in a mine in Africa by De Beers in 1999, is the largest fancy vivid pink diamond, categorised as "flawless" or "internally flawless", that the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) has ever graded. It sold after a five-minute bidding war, that started at $56m, to Hong Kong jewellery retailer Chow Tai Fook at Sotheby's.
28/29 Stopping climate change could boost the world economy by £15 trillion - Tuesday March 21
Efforts to slow climate change won't just keep the planet habitable. They will also boost the world economy by $19 trillion (£15.2 trillion). Investments in renewable power and energy efficiency will add about 0.8 per cent to global gross domestic product by 2050, the International Renewable Energy Agency, or Irena, said Monday in a report produced for the German government. Governments are committing resources to green energy in a bid to keep warming within 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 Fahrenheit), of pre-industrial conditions, in accordance with the landmark Paris Agreement on global warming.
29/29 'UK Disneyland' set to open in five years in Kent - Friday March 10
It's the news British film-lovers and thrill-seekers have been waiting to hear forever - no longer do we have to schlep across the seas to get our fix of stardust and adrenaline, for the UK is finally getting its own 'Disneyland'. The theme park will be the first of its kind in the UK, and is being created by film company Paramount at a cost of £3.5 billion.
Presumably, dragging customers out of their seats won't help. A Twitter wag named Joe Householder wrote, under the hashtag, #awkward: "Based on experience, the guy on the #united flight is getting his, 'tell us about your trip," email survey about now."
Another Twitter commentator said he actually received one, which asked, "According to you, why do we consider ourselves the best airline to fly with?"

Somali Group Bans Samosas in Country
Maybe the SPLC will get a clue and demand that Doritos be banned? MAYBE!
It is FRIDAY!
A powerful Muslim extremist group in Somalia banned samosas in the country because their three sides may remind people of the Christian Holy Trinity.

Could you pass a Facebook background check?
Interesting article how now companies can spy on their workers for having "bad" thoughts. And as most major corporations are heavily controlled by the government, this is an ideal method for the State to control political speech. The Soviet Union used such tactics to keep the populace in-line. If you had "counter revolutionary" thoughts, you could not get employment. And the State controlled all employment.
Companies have long used criminal background checks, credit reportsand even searches on Google and LinkedIn to probe the previous lives of prospective employees. Now, some companies are requiring job candidates to also pass a social media background check.

Norway and the Reichstag fire
I created this video over the weekend. I had limited Internet access so I was not following the news closely. However, as I predicted in this video, I knew that the SPLC (a powerful hate group in the USA) would exploit the Norway shootings in an attempt to curtail civil liberties. And right on queue the SPLC did not disappoint. Per the article below:
But according to some analysts, words can be weapons themselves.
The SPLC has frequently made the argument that speech = violence. Like all totalitarians their goal is to imprison anyone who disagrees with their political point of view. The SPLC is by far the most anti-American and dangerous hate group that exists in this country. No other hate group is as well funded or poses such a serious risk to Liberty as the SPLC.
Of course, using a terrorist attack as justification to limit civil liberties is not new. In 1933 the National Socialist party in Germany used the terrorist attack on the Reichstag Building as an excuse to "temporarily" limit civil liberties.
The basic formula is as follows:
1. Government policies create a crisis
2. A predicted action takes place (staged or not)
3. Government responds with a reaction to increase power
A recent example:
1. US Government gets involved with foreign wars on the behalf of Israel (crisis)
2. Muslim extremists hijack planes on September 11, 2001 (action)
3. US Government implements a Soviet styled Homeland Security police force to spy on US citizens. (planned reaction)

Homeland Security Shows White People as most likely Terrorists
It seems as part of Homeland Security's $10 million dollar "See Something, Say Something" campaign, a video was created to ask that Americans report suspicious activities. Curiously, all the villains in the video just happen to be White. But luckily, America has "people of color" to watch all those wicked White men.
Have a Good Weekend!

Ms. Mag: Deficits are Pro Woman
Susan Fiener, a Feminist Economist, argues in all seriousness that deficits do not matter because the government can pay for the debts with just a click on a computer. And because a literal printing press is not used, this is NOT printing money. And, no, this is not satire. She is quite serious.
She even wrote a clever poem for her Ms. Magazine readers:
When the U.S. has a debt, we/I, we/I, owe
Then a quick click here, and a quick click there
Here a click, there a click, now a little quick click
Then the U.S. paid its debt, we won't, we don't owe.
Then a quick click here, and a quick click there
Here a click, there a click, now a little quick click
Then the U.S. paid its debt, we won't, we don't owe.
This is based on the children's poem, old MacDonald. Which is probably appropriate given the intellectual level of Ms. Magazine's readership.

Richard Dawkins Gets into a War with Feminists
Funny story of an Internet fight between Richard Dawkins and feminists. It seems that a young female attendee to one of his atheist conferences was asked by an awkward (but polite) young man to join him for coffee. In the world of normal women, this is no big deal. If you are not interested, you just say No Thank You and forget about it. But the atheist woman mention this incident in one of her videos.
Richard commented that this was no big deal, and that women have real things to worry about instead of worrying about being offered a date. His response created OUTRAGE from the usual feminists. Because in their minds, a man (that is not deemed attractive enough) asking a woman for a date is a sexual crime. These feminists complain that such behavior "sexualizes" them. Of course these same feminists celebrate being a "slut" via "slut walk" parades and the like. They are EMPOWERED and STRONG. But then when asked politely for a date from a man that they have no interest, they suddenly become a Victorian Damsel in Distress.
The irony is that Christianity (which is despised by feminists and atheists) provided a formal structure that regulated sexual and romantic interactions. This process was called courtship. A Gentleman did not speak to an unknown woman unless he was properly introduced. Feminists called this "controlling" and demanded sexual liberation.
Now, without irony, many young feminists are asking for such sexual restraints and controls to return.
Richard Dawkins and the Victim of a Coffee Proposition
Richard Dawkins made an unexpected appearance in the comments section of biologist PZ Myers' post at Scienceblogs.com last week. Myers was commenting on Rebecca Watson's recent experience being propositioned in a hotel elevator by a male attendee of a conference at which Watson had just spoken in Dublin. Dawkins got himself into hot water by commenting in the form of a sarcastic letter to a Muslim woman, pointing out how trivial Watson's experience in the elevator was compared to the abuses Muslim women deal with on a daily basis. "Stop whining will you. Yes, yes, I know you had your genitals mutilated with a razor blade, and...yawn...don't tell me again, I know you aren't allowed to drive a car, and can't leave the house without a male relative, and your husband is allowed to beat you, and you'll be stoned to death if you commit adultery," he wrote. "But stop whining, will you. Think of the suffering your poor American sisters have to put up with."

The Debt Ceiling Farce
The politicians are playing the usual Deficit Ceiling game again. Of course, the so-called Deb tCeiling is meaningless as the "ceiling" is always raised. But having something called the "Deb tCeiling" gives the Republican rubes the illusion that SOMETHING IS BEING DONE about deficits.
Of course, the trillions that the United States has spent to improve the economy has done nothing. And instead of spending the money on something productive (like the Hoover Dam), the money was spent ensuring huge bonuses to the bankers, buying guns for Mexican drug gangs and promoting "diversity".
The Omaha Public Schools used more than $130,000 in federal stimulus dollars to buy each teacher, administrator and staff member a manual on how to become more culturally sensitive.

Atlanta Public Schools Cheating Scandal
Cheating has been going on in the Atlanta Public Schools for the past 10 years. Part of the reason for the cheating was to try to close the "achievement gap" between African-American and White/Asian students. As this is an impossible task, the only way to show progress was to change the scores.
Atlanta got caught. But it is my guess they are not alone.
Last week, educators from Atlanta's school district were caught in a massive cheating scandal. Investigators exposed that for almost a decade, teachers erased and corrected students' answers on tests in an effort to boost their school's state standardized test scores.
An investigative report by Georgia Governor Nathan Deal's office found that over 78% of Atlanta public schools that were part of the investigation were found to be cheating.

Journalist stages her OWN rape to cure trauma
Hmmmmm... Happy Friday!
Unless Critic did an interview of me. You can read it here:
I really need to get more fucking professional. There are already too many threads on the INTERNETS discussing what is wrong with me. Fuck... I can send references.
Anywayz..... funny story about some White "reporter" that simulated a rape so she could cure her stress. Sorry girl. Consensual sex is not rapez.
People deal with stress in different ways.
For journalist Mac McClelland, it gripped her body and her mind in such a severe way that she had to simulate a violent rape to get over it.
The Mother Jones civil rights reporter, was on a job in Haiti in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake when she met a woman she called Sybille - who had been raped at gunpoint and brutally mutilated by a gang of men.

California lawmakers pass bill to teach gay history
Sad that California is so intolerant that they are only teaching the historical accomplishments of gays, lesbians, bi-sexuals and transgender. What about other alternate sexual practices? Kenneth Pinyan would be a positive role model to include in the California history books for children.
SACRAMENTO, Calif (Reuters) - A bill to require California public schools to teach the historical accomplishments of gay men and lesbians passed the state Legislature on Tuesday in what supporters call a first for the nation.

Is Casey Anthony a Victim of the Patriarchy?
I haven't followed the Casey Anthony trial. But I thought I would take a look since it has received so much publicity.
The story started when a little two year old girl named Caylee Anthony was reporting missing to the police in 2008 by her Grandmother. When the police investigated, the unwed Mom named Casey Anthony, said, yeah, she had been missing for six weeks. Obviously the police thought it was rather odd that a mother would forget to report that her two year old daughter was missing.
Caylee Anthony
A massive search was conducted looking for Caylee. Casey claimed that her daughter was probably abducted.
Eventually Caylee's body was found in a shallow grave near the house. Her mouth was covered in duct tape. Police searched Casey's car and found evidence that the body had decomposed in the trunk for a couple of days before it was buried.
Casidy has since changed her story. She now claims that Caylee drowned by accident in a backyard pool. She then panicked and called her father. According to Casey, they decided it would be best to try to cover up the accidental drowning by making it look like a murder. WTF? Obviously her Dad denies this stupid story.
In the links below you can see her IM chats with her current boyfriend a month before Caylee died. The chats show the her boyfriend was about to dump her because she could not find reliable babysitters to watch the "snot nose" (her description) kid. Casey seemed frustrated that her daughter was getting in the way of her carefree life of fucking various guys.
Even if we assume Casey's bizarre story is true and the death was an accidental drowning, it seems that Casey was not that heartbroken. Below is a picture of her just days after the death of her daughter.
Casey (with drink in hand) starting the healing process
As sordid as this tale is, you would think feminists would not want to make Casey a poster child for their movement. But one can never overestimate the stupidity of feminists. Here is a quote from Dr. Barbara Kirwin:
However, the bigger picture, Kirwin said, is the socio-political issue of the amount of support and resources available to women, calling it as much an issue for women and feminists as it is crime.

Woman's corpse found in public pool two days later
Here is one of those stories that sound more like some horrible Urban Myth than reality. And, yes, this story has been verified by various sources.
It seems as through a lady drowned in a crowded pool on Sunday and sank to the bottom. No one noticed until the body floated to the surface Tuesday night. Meanwhile, crowds of people enjoyed swimming in the pool on Monday and Tuesday with a corpse.
We are starting to see more of these kind of bizarre stories that used to be reversed for countries such as Uganda or the Congo. Sad.

Bonn, 17 May 2012 - Today, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the non-governmental organisation Wetlands International launch 'The Organic Soils and Peatlands Climate Change Mitigation Initiative'. The Initiative has been established to increase awareness about how the conservation, restoration and sustainable use of peatlands can reduce global greenhouse gas emissions, and to facilitate strategic actions that can lead to measurable progress in this area. The Initiative will be launched during the intersessional climate session of the United Nations in Bonn (13–25 May).

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), science now allows to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from wetlands. This breakthrough was presented yesterday by the IPCC at the UN climate conference (UNFCCC) in Cancun (Mexico). This conclusion is crucial for allowing countries to reduce their emissions through rewetting drained wetlands. A decision on that will possibly be taken in Cancun.

Lucky Strike Splits Logs of All Sizes
Something to think about when considering who to hire to split your wood:
the most common type of log splitter is hydraulic. While these machines are good and have their place, they are tediously slow.
We utilize a fleet of the fastest machines to split all shapes, sizes and types of wood. We most often split using custom made flywheel-driven log splitters that are 5 times faster than any hydraulic machine. This means that we produce 5 times more split firewood every hour.
Dollar for dollar, we are without question, the most economical and efficient team in the business.
Uncle Dave Hires Lucky Strike
Dave Adami, of Uncle Dave's Ice Cream at Shady Brook Farm, wanted his already split wood split even smaller to better fit in his wood burning insert. Lucky Strike was happy to help, splitting the wood to kindling size and stacking it neatly in the backyard. Dave made a video of our work and was kind enough to share.

The Story (continued)
Badlands (1973)
Kit's killing spree is instigated by Mr. Sargis' refusal to let him have a relationship with Holly, and by the killing of her dog. That evening, Kit cautiously approaches Holly's house and slips in after knocking, at about the same time that the over-protective Mr. Sargis picks up Holly from her music school. In Holly's upstairs bedroom, Kit packs her suitcase to take her away - with a gun visible in his back right jeans pocket.
When Mr. Sargis arrives home and is surprised by the unexpected visitor, he is first visible in the dresser's mirror - his reflection comes from the end of the hallway outside the bedroom. Kit brandishes his pistol, an alternative for his unsatisfying sexual ability, as Holly's father angrily orders him from the house. While Holly (in a light blue dress with puffy sleeves) stands and watches impassively, Kit announces that he's "got it all planned - and, uh, I'm taking Holly off with me." When Mr. Sargis descends back down the stairs and threatens to turn him over to the authorities for trespassing with a gun, Kit protests: "...I can't allow it." At the foot of the stairs in the living room, Kit follows him and asks: "Suppose I shot you. How'd that be? Huh? You want to hear what it sounds like?" After firing a warning shot, Kit rushes down the stairs and fatally shoots Holly's father twice in the stomach, in cold blood, in the middle of the living room. Non-chalant killing without a twinge of conscience, emotional involvement, or remorse comes easily for the catatonic young man. His gun swiftly eliminates the small obstacles or nuisances that hinder the fulfillment of his willful dreams.
As evening arrives, Kit drags the body into the cellar. He finds a discarded toaster and takes it upstairs. When he apologizes, she only slaps him hard across the forehead - an unusual, emotionless, inappropriate, and amoral reaction to the murder of her single parent. In the living room, he convinces her that she shouldn't contact the police:
Holly: Listen, maybe we ought to tell somebody about this.
Kit: You said that once already. Too late now.
Holly: Why?
Kit: They're not gonna listen to me. You either. Are you kidding?
Holly: Suppose the neighbors heard the noise?
Kit: Wouldn't be funny. Listen, uh, I'll be back after a while. (He approaches the front door.) Oh, uh, you want to call the police, that's fine. Just won't be so hot for me. (They exchange a parting glance.)
While Kit is gone, Holly acts emotionally detached and passive, although she has already implicitly agreed to tag along with Kit for the 'ride' [and betray the memory of her father]. She smokes a cigarette and walks upstairs to her bedroom, ready to become Kit's good-girl-gone-bad partner. From her window, in a contrasting scene, she watches two young boys under a streetlamp playing an innocent game - they secretly share something with each other.
At the town's almost-deserted train station, Kit has entered a VOICE-O-GRAPH private recording studio booth and inserted fifty cents into the machine to record a vinyl record at 45 rpms. [This is the first of two instances of his recording his thoughts without writing them down. Evidently, Kit is almost illiterate.] He narrates a fake-suicide testimony that will be left at the house for the authorities to find:
My girl Holly and I have decided to kill ourselves, same way I did her Dad. Big decision, huh? Uh, the reasons are obvious, and I don't have time to go into them right now. But uh, one thing, though. He was provoking me when I popped him. That's what it was like, a Pop! We're sorry, I mean, uhm, nobody's coming out of this thing happy, especially not us. I can't deny we've had fun, though. I mean, uhm, that's more than I can say for some. That's the end of the message. I run out of things to say. Thank you.
Back at Holly's house, he douses the entire interior of the house with gasoline poured from a ten-gallon can. Both Kit and Holly collect items to take with them (a suitcase, a painting, a lamp). Before setting the house on fire and fleeing the murder scene, Kit sets up a victrola on a table in the back yard and puts the needle on the record to play again and again (Holly's voice-over: "Kit left a record playing over and over for the District Attorney to find. He was gambling for time.") As they drive away, a montage of items burning in the conflagration are seen as they are lyrically consumed by flames: a framed picture on the stairs, the peacock feathers, a cantaloupe and a pomegranate on the kitchen table, Holly's bedroom and a doll on the bed, Holly's doll house, a sign outside the house, Mr. Sargis' corpse, the piano in the living room with sheet music, a watering can and spoked wheel. A man surveys the burning embers of the house with a flashlight.
Detouring from their flight early the next morning, Kit insists on driving Holly by her high school, where he allows her to pick up her books from her locker, so that she won't "fall behind" - how extraordinarily practical and bizarre! Holly contemplates sneaking away, but then accepts her "destiny" with Kit - to join him for an adventurous odyssey that would prevent "years of loneliness." They pick aliases for themselves (James and Priscilla) that they don't use, and plan to "hide out like spies" -- a tip-off that star-struck Holly is play-acting within an adventure movie that is running inside her mind:
Kit made me get my books from school, so I wouldn't fall behind. We'd be starting a new life, he said. And we'd have to change our names. His would be James. Mine would be Priscilla. We'd hide out like spies, somewhere in the North, where people didn't ask a lot of questions. I could of snuck out the back or hid in the boiler room, I suppose, but I sensed that my destiny now lay with Kit, for better or for worse, and it was better to spend a week with one who loved me for what I was than years of loneliness.
Their first primitive hideout and shelter is by the riverbank in a cottonwood grove - in an elaborate, multi-storied treehouse that they construct out of tree branches, planks, and tamarisk branches. In another montage, the survivalists and partners-in-crime devise various warning systems, code words, and booby traps (a swinging ball of spikes that is triggered by string laid across the path), knowing that sooner or later, the police will come looking for them. Kit sleeps with his pistol by his side, with Holly close by and next to the box of shells (her hand quivers). He exhorts them to rigorously train and exercise to be prepared for an intrusion from any outside 'enemy':
We hid out in the wilderness down by a river in a grove of cottonwoods. It being the flood season, we built our house in the trees, with tamarisk walls and willows laid side by side to make a floor. There wasn't a plant in the forest that didn't come in handy. We planned a huge network of tunnels under the forest floor, and our first order of business every morning was to decide on a new password for the day. Now and then, we'd sneak out at night and steal a chicken or a bunch of corn or some melons from a melon patch. Mostly, though, we just lay on our backs and stared at the clouds and sometimes it was like being in a big marble hall, the way we talked in low voices and heard the tiniest sound. They hadn't found but one set of bones in the ashes of the house, so we knew they'd be looking for us. Kit made sure we'd be prepared. He gave me lectures on how a gun works, how to take it apart and put it back together again, in case I had to carry on without him. He said that if the Devil came at me, I could shoot him with a gun.
One day, they stroll-dance to the tunes ("Love is Strange," sung by Mickey and Sylvia) emanating from their portable radio. During their improbable and often icy relationship that they have while 'playing house,' Holly compares them to any ordinary loving couple that bickers from time to time. They pass the endless days by catching fish with a forked-stick net (handmade from sticks and twigs), cutting or toting firewood, listening to Holly reading portions of Kon-Tiki outloud, watching the animals and other life-forms in the forest, or reading old issues of National Geographic Magazine:
We had our bad moments, like any couple. Kit accused me of only being along for the ride, while at times I wish he'd fall in the river and drown, so I could watch. Mostly though, we got along fine and stayed in love. I grew to love the forest. The cooing of the doves and the hum of dragonflies in the air made it always seem lonesome and like everybody's dead and gone. When the leaves rustled overhead, it was like the spirits were whispering about all the little things that bothered 'em.
While viewing sepia-toned, stereopticon slides ("vistas") of a past idyllic time of famous monuments and various family groupings (of a palm-fringed canal in Rio de Janiero-Brazil, a boy on a camel in front of the Sphinx in Egypt, of cows standing in a fjord with a steamship in the background, of a young mother with her child, of a woman playing sheet music at a piano with another woman watching, a family gathering on a lawn, and a soldier whispering words into the ear of his girlfriend standing in a wheatfield), Holly speaks profound truths about the mysteries of the march of time toward death:
One day, while taking a look at some vistas in Dad's stereopticon, it hit me that I was just this little girl, born in Texas, whose father was a sign painter and who had only just so many years to live. It sent a chill down my spine, and I thought - Where would I be this very moment if Kit had never met me? Or killed anybody? This very moment? If my Mom had never met my Dad? If she'd of never died? And what's the man I'll marry gonna look like? What's he doing right this minute? Is he thinking about me now, by some coincidence, even though he doesn't know me? Does it show on his face? For days afterwards, I lived in dread. Sometimes, I wished I could fall asleep and be taken off to some magical land, but this never happened.
One day when he becomes frustrated while fishing with his hand-woven lacrosse-stick net, Kit abandons his peaceful harmony with the natural world. He fires his weapon at a fish underwater - and is spotted by a man on the other bank of the river - his reckless action results in expulsion from the Edenic natural paradise. Later that day, Kit sees from the crow's nest of the treehouse that there is a person moving through the brush and that they have been discovered. With a coded yell, he signals to Holly (who is putting on makeup) in the forest to hide ("Run, somebody's comin', hide"), and then dives under a hole in the ground that is covered with leaves. As the three western-dressed men, armed with guns, walk over his hiding place, he ambushes them. He fires at two of them from behind and kills them. He pursues the third man and shoots him in the back. Before driving away from their temporary home, Kit tosses away a birdcage and frees their rooster from its wicker enclosure. In voice-over, Holly reveals how the code that they live by constantly changes - killing bounty hunters is acceptable, but killing lawmen is not. She is told by her cold-blooded killer-lover that they were attacked by bounty hunters:
Kit felt bad about shooting those men in the back, but he said they'd come in like that, and they would've played it as down and dirty as they could. And besides, he'd overheard them whispering about how they were only interested in the reward money. With lawmen, it would've been different. They were out there to get a job done and they deserved a fair chance. But not a bounty hunter.
They drive over a flat field to the isolated, solitary farm where Cato, Kit's garbage-route co-worker, is living: (Holly's voice-over: "We went to hide out with a friend of Kit's from the days of the garbage route.") A set of deer antlers are mounted over the outside of the door of the place that Cato is "running" for a fella in town. Cato doesn't know what to make of the unpredictable Kit with his "girl" Holly, and attempts to appease them. Outside under a tree, Cato shares a picnic lunch with them of the live chicken that Kit brought with them - Holly drinks milk while Cato and Kit drink beers. Afterwards, they walk out toward a field where Cato claims a boy found some old Spanish coins while plowing the ground. When Cato turns and runs back to the house to allegedly retrieve a shovel (is he attempting to escape?), Kit quickly becomes suspicious and shoots him through the stomach.
Kit never let on why he'd shot Cato. He said that just talking about it could bring us bad luck and that right now, we needed all the luck we could get.
Kit obligingly opens up the front door for Cato, who stumbles into the interior of the cluttered house. He falls onto his bed and remains motionless and terrified. Holly's question to Kit about Cato is unbelievably disquieting: "Is he upset?" Children of the television generation of the 50s, both Kit and Holly calmly watch and converse with the dying man as he complacently lies there and slowly bleeds to death.
Unexpectedly, a Studebaker drives up to the house, and the young male driver named Jack (Bryan Montgomery) (with his girlfriend (Gail Threlkeld)) asks to see Cato. Kit lies to them about Cato's whereabouts and refuses to let them into the house: "You go in there, I'll have to kill you...Can't afford to take chances." He leads Jack into a nearby field toward a distant storm cellar. Holly follows behind with the girl, as if she were her schoolyard friend, and makes casual small talk (although she must know that an execution is imminent). Holly asks about their relationship and whether she loves Jack:
Girl: What's going to happen to Jack and me?
Holly: You have to ask Kit. He says 'frog,' I jump.
Girl: OK.
Holly: What's your friend's name?
Girl: Jack.
Holly: You love him?
Girl: I don't know.
Holly: I've got to stick by Kit. He feels trapped.
Girl: Yeah, I can imagine.
Holly: Well, I've felt that way, hadn't you?
In the middle of the vast expansiveness of the area, the girl expresses uncertainty about her relationship with the boy, in contrast to Holly's ironic yet 'reasoned' loyalty to her "trapped" boyfriend. After imprisoning the couple inside the storm cellar and forcing them to promise to stay there for at least an hour, Kit secures the latch and then fires two shots at them through a hole in the door - possibly killing them. Again, Holly cooperatively stands by and watches as the carnage mounts - she senses the volatility of her "trigger happy" boyfriend:
Suddenly, I was thrown into a state of shock. Kit was the most trigger happy person I'd ever met. He claimed that as long as you're playing for keeps and the law is coming at ya, it's considered OK to shoot all witnesses. You had to take the consequences, though, and not whine about it later. He never seemed like a violent person before, except for once, when he said he'd like to rub out a couple of guys whose names he didn't care to mention. It all goes to show how you can know a person and not really know him at the same time.
Kit carries and dumps Cato's body in a box-car near the house, and Holly remarks: "We're in for it now, if they catch us." Kit nonchalantly and defensively tells Holly the unlikely reason why he moved Cato's body: "Just to keep him out of the sun." Kit is surprised at his own impulsiveness - he walks back and forth behind the box-car, out of view of Holly, where he expresses his agitated and frustrated state of mind.
As they drive away and leave behind a second murder scene, Holly muses about how desensitized she has become to their trail of violence:
At this moment, I didn't feel shame or fear, but just kind of blah, like when you're sitting there and all the water's run out of the bathtub.
When they drive past a wrecked vehicle lying in a roadside ditch, the anger-driven Kit imagines that he will also be blamed for it: "They're probably gonna blame that on me, too, bastards!"

Congressman Randy Kuhlĺs Misplaced Priorities
Chooses Funding a GOP Donor's Local Bowling Alley Over Local VA Hospital
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee today released the following web ad highlighting Randy Kuhl's misplaced priorities when it comes to his failure to honor our veterans and protect the Canandaigua VA Hospital. Randy Kuhl chose to secure funding for a bowling alley for a Republican donor who had given $50,000 to Republicans rather than fund a closing wing of the VA hospital. Local constituents resoundingly agree that Randy Kuhl's priorities are in the wrong place - no bowling alley should ever take precedence over a Veterans Administration hospital.
Congressman Kuhl is currently running a television ad declaring that five years ago in Congress he saved the VA hospital from closing -- five years ago, Randy Kuhl wasn't in Congress.
View Web ad here.
"Congressman Kuhl can claim to be a lot of things, but a friend to veterans is not one of them," said Carrie James, regional press secretary at the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee. "When Congressman Kuhl put up a television ad touting his support for veterans, it must have slipped his mind that just a year ago he secured $2 million for a local bowling alley rather than funding for the Acute Psychiatric Unit of the Canandaigua veterans hospital."

When The Maxx2Racing Team made the decision to expand to a second car, The Royal Purple '99 Firebird Pro Touring-LSR Race Car, a special car such as this required absolute attention to every detail, and that includes the weather-stripping and rubber parts.

E-cigarettes may inflame lungs as much as cigarettes do
Indicator of lung inflammation changes as much after 'vaping' as after smoking
By Janet Raloff, 16:24 PM June 16, 2014
Using electronic cigarettes has the same short-term effects on the lungs as smoking conventional tobacco cigarettes, a study finds. Both products triggered sharp reductions in exhaled nitric oxide among 25 volunteers. Toxicologists view drops in the gas as a marker of inflammation that signals airway damage.
After 'vaping,' or inhaling e-cigarettes' vapors, volunteers exhaled 2.2 to 3.2 parts per billion less nitric oxide than when exhaling normally. The bigger drop came after volunteers vaped...

What does Kim Kardashian have in common with a mummy? Well, according to Katy Perry, a lot! In an attempt to defend some of the costumes her dancer's wear on her 'Prism' tour, the pop star may have just thrown major shade at Kim!
Katy Perry, 29, discusses life on the road and how Kim Kardashian, 33, even inspired part of her "Prism" tour in a brand-new interview. Katy reveals that she drew inspiration from Kim's famous backside for some of the controversial costumes featured in her show. However, the "inspiration" Katy talks about sounds like a diss. Did Katy really call Kim's butt "plastic?"
Katy Perry On Kim Kardashian's Butt: Did She Call It Plastic In 'Rolling Stone'?
In the August issue of Rolling Stone, Katy addresses the critics who claim she's culturally insensitive for having her dancers dress up as "big-bootied mummies" during a number on her "Prism" tour.
"As far as the mummy thing, I based it on plastic surgery," Katy tells the mag. "Look at someone like Kim Kardashian or Ice-T's wife, Coco. Those girls aren't African-American. But it's actually a representation of our culture wanting to be plastic, and that's why there's bandages and it's mummies."
Katy Perry Debuts Wacky Pop Art Video — Watch 'This Is How We Do'
Ouch, Katy! Do you think she was dissing Kim's very famous backside? Speaking of Kim's bum, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has always insisted her butt is totally real.
Kim Responds To Butt Implant Rumors: 'Get A Life!'
Back in February 2014, Closer magazine claimed that Kim had gotten butt implants. Clearly upset by the rumor, Kim responded on Twitter telling the mag to "get a life!"
"Using pics of me 15lbs skinnier (before I had my baby) comparing to me now! I still have weight to lose," Kim wrote at the time.
We gotta say, Kim is in the best shape of her life right now — and her amazing butt looks like a result of hard work in the gym.
What do you think, HollywoodLifers? Did Katy mean to diss Kim? Or do you think she meant what she said as a compliment? Let us know your thoughts below!

It's probably not the craziest thing I've done in a car, but one of the dumbest was the "van surfing" game my brother and I made up.
My parents stuck me with a minivan to drive all the way through highschool, and since it really had no hooning potential whatsoever, we had to get creative.
We took out the middle and rear seats, leaving a cavernous expanse behind the driver's seat. I drove to an empty parking lot, then my brother jumped in the back and stood up, hanging onto one of the grab rails along the side. I proceeded to drive like a maniac until he fell over, after which we switched. The person to stand up the longest won. If the g-forces didn't get you, the body roll did. We could never manage more than 30 seconds or so.
In reality, the person who didn't get ejected through a window and wind up dead was probably the real "winner", but to a couple of bored teenagers, it was a fun way to spend an afternoon...
Another time, I rode with my rather fearless Portuguese friend through the alleyways of Lisbon in his little Fiat at more than 80mph. Lisbon is pretty hilly, so there were lots of blind corners and hills. The one-lane alleys were so narrow he had to fold in the mirrors, and were all paved with cobblestones by a blind quadriplegic. The tight fit increased the sense of speed (roller coasters use the same trick), so I thought we'd gone plaid. He found a parallel parking spot straight in front of the car, and floored it. He was coming at the spot from a 90 degree angle, and I didn't see how he was going to fit. The next few moments were a blur, but the next thing I remember, he was perfectly in the spot with inches to spare. I love a good drive, and don't mind aggressive driving, but that trip left me weak in the knees.

80 mph pass on the right through an intersection in a 40 mph zone? Check!
Drive the entire length of rt 42/I-76/I-676 from the AC Expressway to Camden(about 20 miles) with the speedometer pegged and the throttle to the floor? Check.
Drive over a crowned road intersection fast enough to launch off the car, land over the second dip, bottom out so hard that the transmission is knocked out of drive into neutral, and you have a panic attack? Check.
Follow JR? Check.

|Tue, 8 Oct 2002 11:43:16 +0100 (BST)
A week ago I sent a general enquiry to the list asking about other users' experiences or advice on graph preferences. So far, not a single comment or response has come to me, nor have I seen any related messages in the digests. Does this imply that in practice Stata users are NOT consciously choosing colours, textures, scales etc for graphs? As a straw poll, please email me a one-line answer to the questions: do you set any graph preferences, or if not, why not? Suggested responses might be: * Happy with StataCopr defaults or cannot see any problems * Can't see that any other settings would be generally better * Didn't know you could set graph prferences * Have tried but didn't achieve better graphic results * Have tried but didn't understand menus or had problems saving * Am using graph preferences and have changed colors / styles etc. For convenience, I repeat the earlier message (which is archived). As StataCorp have also not got back at<<to me, I'll add that: * the blackbackground pallette has a pen sequence light blue/ yellow/ red/ green. Why red & green?! * the whitebackground pallette has a pen sequence dark blue/ green/ brown/ red/ purple. Why dark blue & purple?! On Wed, 2 Oct 2002, R.

Long Live the King HTML version
A Fine Night
In a shop where, that afternoon, the Countess had purchased some Lyons silks, one of the
clerks, Peter Niburg, was free at last. At seven o'clock, having put away the last rolls of
silk on the shelves behind him, and covered them with calico to keep off the dust; having
given a final glance of disdain at the clerk in the linens, across; having reached under the
counter for his stiff black hat of good quality and his silver-topped cane; having donned
the hat and hung the stick to his arm with two swaggering gestures; having prepared his
offensive, so to speak, he advanced.
Between Peter Niburg and Herman Spier of the linens, was a feud. Its source, in the
person of a pretty cashier, had gone, but the feud remained. It was of the sort that smiles
with the lips and scowls with the eyes, that speaks pleasantly quite awful things, although
it was Peter Niburg who did most of the talking. Herman Spier was a moody individual,
given to brooding. A man who stood behind his linens, and hated with his head down.
And he hated Peter. God, how he hated him! The cashier was gone, having married a
restaurant keeper, and already she waxed fat. But Herman's hatred grew with the days.
And business being bad, much of the time he stood behind his linens and thought about a
certain matter, which was this:
How did Peter Niburg do it?
They were paid the same scant wage. Each Monday they stood together, Peter smiling
and he frowning, and received into open palms exactly enough to live on, without extras.
And each Monday Peter pocketed his cheerfully, and went back to his post, twirling his
mustache as though all the money of the realm jingled in his trousers.
To accept the inevitable, to smile over one's poverty, that is one thing. But there was
more to it. Peter made his money go amazingly far. It was Peter, for instance, who on
name-days had been able to present the little cashier with a nosegay. Which had, by the
way, availed him nothing against the delicatessen offerings of the outside rival. When,
the summer before, the American Scenic Railway had opened to the public, with much
crossing of flags, the national emblem and the Stars and Stripes, it was Peter who had
invited the lady to an evening of thrills on that same railway at a definite sum per thrill.
Nay, more, as Herman had seen with his own eyes, taken her afterward to a coffee-house,
and shared with her a litre of white wine. A litre, no less.
Herman himself had been to the Scenic Railway, but only because he occupied a small
room in the house where the American manager lived. The manager had given tickets to
Black Humbert, the concierge, but Humbert was busy with other thing, and was, besides,
chary of foreign deviltries. So he had passed the tickets on.

Kiwi cyclist Linda Villumsen battled heavy rain and a slick surface to finish 18th in the women's road race at the London Olympics.
The 27-year-old, the sole New Zealander in the 66-strong field, crossed the line in a group that was 26 seconds behind winner, Dutch star Marianne Vos.
Vos, a gold medallist on the track in Beijing, outsprinted British rider Lizzie Armistead and Russian Olga Zabelinskaya at the end of the 140km race.
It became a race of attrition as the stronger riders repeatedly attacked and the peloton steadily lost riders because of the high pace.
As the race headed back to London, Zabelinskaya initiated the key move.
She went clear and Armistead, Vos and American Shelley Olds were able to join her.
The quartet quickly built a lead of about 30 seconds before Olds dropped off the front group inside the last 30km, leaving her three fellow attackers to decide the medals.
The Denmark-born Villumsen, who was fifth in the road race at the Beijing Olympics before switching allegiance to New Zealand in 2009, is focused on Wednesday's 29km individual time trial.
She has collected three world championship medals in the discipline since 2009.

Community Leaders Urge Public To Report Animal Neglect And Abuse
Constable Hopes To Set Up Animal Cruelty Unit
EL PASO, Texas - Angie Sommers, Precinct 7 constable, still gets choked up thinking about Jerry the horse. "He was such a fighter," she said.
Jerry was left to starve in a San Elizario field on the 1300 block of Janelle Lynne. He died Wednesday, the day after Sommers and others worked tirelessly to nurse him back to health.
Sommers said the horse's heart suddenly stopped.
"We worked very hard to save him," she said. "At first we were devastated ... then the anger set in."
Sommers is determined to find the person who put Jerry in his emaciated condition. Authorities are looking for a man they say was seen removing a horse from a white trailer attached to a blue pickup, then driving off on July 6.
If you have any information on who is responsible for abandoning Jerry, call Sommers at 915-525-5807.
"There's absolutely no excuse in the world for someone to treat an animal like this," Sommers said.
The constable is looking for ways to fund an animal cruelty unit so resources can be readily available should another case like Jerry's occur.
The horse's death sparked outrage among animal activists, including Jessie Miller, founder of the Animal Cruelty Heartline of El Paso, or ACHE.
"If Jerry's owners had (sought) help, people like us would have been there to take him within 30 minutes," Miller said.
ACHE is the only rescue organization in El Paso County specifically equipped to rescue horses. She said they rescued about 60 horses during the two years ACHE operated in the county.
"I did what I could with the resources I had," Miller said. Horses often end up in trouble because their owners don't know what it takes to take care of them, she said.
"This year, because of the lack of rain, we had a shortage of alfalfa (used to feed horses) so it got really expensive, and that's when people stop feeding their animals. The monthly expense of feeding them, taking care of their feet, taking care of them if they get sick -- it's expensive," she said.
Miller and Sommers are now asking the community to step up and report animal neglect or abuse.
