Mark Knopfler

When I listen to Mark Knopfler, I think of the element Mercury — what comes out of his guitar quietly and efficiently fills every available space. And it's been that way since the late 1970s, when Knopfler launched Dire Straits with "Sultans of Swing."
In that era, we were listening to New Wave bands like Talking Heads and the pounding disco of "Saturday Night Fever." But here was a group that seemed to champion old-fashioned music and pride itself on old school musicianship — "Sultans" was a hymn to retro, just played by a band light years better than any duffers who might have performed it on a Saturday night in a smoky club in Newcastle.
Over a thirty-year career, Mark Knopfler has proved that virtuosity has its charms. At one point in the mid-1980s, Dire Straits was the most successful band in the world; in a single year, the group gave 234 concerts and played for 2.5 million people. Knopfler's projects have sold a hundred million-plus CDs; he's produced CDs for superstars and written soundtracks for movies (Local Hero) is the rare film that's as lovely to hear as to watch), and turned out-of-the-box collaborations (like All the Roadrunning, with Emmylou Harris) into crowd-pleasers.
Kill to Get Crimson continues Knopfler's series of restrained solo albums. Many of the songs are short stories in miniature; their lyrics are precise and evocative. Cranking the volume won't turn most of them into rock anthems — as with Chopin, you often have to lean in to get the nuance. This is complex, adult music: sophisticated and sincere, wry and guardedly hopeful. And the charm of it all is that, in his songs, one of rock's greatest icons still seems to see himself as a bit player in a traveling carnival.
Knopfler lives in London. Third wife, four kids, several motorcycles, no scandal. He's generous in his charity, thrifty in his media — the one-time journalist usually talks to the press only when he's got a new CD. Which is how, with "Kill to Get Crimson" just out, my phone rang, and there was Mark Knopfler's genial baritone. Knopfler is exceedingly polite, and I try to be; we began, as form dictates, with his new music.
Jesse Kornbluth: The cover art is a painting of parked red Vespas. Why?
Mark Knopfler: The title of the CD comes from a song with the line "kill to get crimson," about an artist's lust for color. The painting, by John Bratby, seemed to me to be connected to the record.
JK: Could there be a deeper reason? You ride a motorcycle. A few years ago, you had an accident and broke some ribs. "Kill to get crimson" — a coded reference to your crack-up?
MK: Oh, no. It's simpler. I have a red scooter of my own. And about my accident: I still like biking. It's one of the last few freedoms — or the illusion of freedom.
JK: You have a tour coming up. If the arena audience wants big, loud and brash, how much of this CD will you be playing on tour?
MK: I'll find out. I'm playing with a little outfit now on radio specials. It's great fun — with this bunch of wits, I may have pulled a muscle laughing — and we play a few of the songs. The old band — the frame for that group was bigger. It was about scale and size. I still see a big scale; it just feels more manageable.
JK: Still, there will always be many who want the "old" Knopfler. Is it possible you grew up and the audience didn't?
MK: It has to be the other way around. I'm always amazed when it gets to the end of shows and I see all the young kids running to the stage.
JK: Your lyrics taste like songs, but the words go down as poems. You started as a journalist. Ever think of…writing?
MK: I'd be shabby dreadful. We should do what we're supposed to.
JK: But you're said to be a huge reader.
MK: No, I am a huge lazy bones. I can just as easily be found horizontal on the sofa as reading. I can pretend to be an intellectual — I've usually got some book on the go. But I always feel behind, I'm always trying to catch up. I'm a victim, like others, of the laptop.
JK: When Knopfler listens to Knopfler, what does he hear?
MK: I just hear the music. I have to listen to it quite it lot before pressing time. It's alright then, because I know it's going to end.
JK: You're both an artist and a scientist of the guitar: Is there a technical explanation for the effect your playing has on listeners — or is it a mystery?
MK: Scientist? I ought to have lessons. I'm about to pick up a guitar — a cello guitar — made by a great builder, and I'm going to learn to play it. I intend to improve as a player. But with my little ditties, I can only do what I do: I hum and strum.
JK: Yes, you're just a busker from the North who got lucky. Seriously…
MK: It seems to make no difference whether I'm playing vibrato on my left hand with a whammy bar on my right, or a bottleneck — I can get a sound that resonates. That's the closest to an explanation I come. It's something to do with touch and vibrato. And what that is, I'm not sure.
JK: Rolling Stone rates you as the 27th best guitarist in rock. If you keep at it, could you get to 25? 20?
MK: I doubt it — I'm going in the other direction. With any luck, I'll soon slip below l00.
JK: Five words: "Mark Knopfler guitar charity auction." Can you predict how old you'll be when you say those words — if ever?
MK: I do give guitars away as much as possible. And they're starting to make money. Someone paid 35,000 pounds the other day for a half-hour guitar lesson, which is one of the nice things about having some recognition. But I have to hold a few back — one of my boys is playing guitar and he may want some of mine.
JK: Let's talk about your work ethic.
MK: My two least favorite words!
JK: The popular image is that playing this music is money for nothing. Please tell the children that you still practice at least an hour a week.
MK: You really have to want to do this job. It always amuses me when kids put a band together, get some success, and are presented with a tour — and they look at the schedule and say, "I didn't get into this to work." There's a tradition of musicians who play most nights a week — I've done that. Beats being home and watching the Olympics…
JK: What about being at home and practicing?
MK: Nothing comes of nothing. You have to put yourself in the driver's seat. Chet Atkins said, "Learn to fall asleep playing." I started doing that as soon as I started to play — to the detriment of other activities. I didn't feel as I if had any choice in the matter. I still feel that way.
JK: Your domestic songs are catnip to those of us who have families. I'm thinking especially of "All That Matters" and "True Love Will Never Fade." Because I don't have $1 million to give to your favorite charity, I have to sing your songs to my daughter at bedtime. Do you sing to your kids?
MK: Singing to your kids is one of the great joys of life. I don't know where it comes from, but with kids, I can make up a song on the spot — just as some babies do. Push a kid on the swing, that seems to happen. But when a little kid sings, nothing I do adds to it.
JK: I get the sense that there's a big part of you that's still a kid in Northumberland. Scratch the man, find a Geordie?
MK: A Geordie — and a boy. There's a lot of boy in me, and I try not to let that die. If I were a kid, I'd be looking at guitars and cars. What is that? Life makes us grow up in so many ways; why in every way? If you had a train set as a kid, why give that up?
JK: "Punish the Monkey" — if I put a political interpretation on that song, would that be vulgar and wrong?
MK: Yes. Although from the point-of-view of politics and business, it's accurate from the things that have happened in both our countries — they never get the guys who really do it. I try to keep this stuff out of my CDs, but it creeps in. Please make my apologies. And tell people that, next time, I really will try to record "You Are My Sunshine."

Costume Information
|Cost :
|Time Taken :
|60 Hours
|A friend of mine did Kamina at Ame' 07, I thought then it would be fun to do a timeskip Simon, since then a couple of people have asked me to group with them.
The jacket for this, at the time, was the hardest thing I'd tackled for several reasons, chief amongst them is that my sewing maching took an abject hatred to the blue material I used for most of the costume and refused to sew it for more than about an inch. Net result, an awful lot of that jacket was handsewn.
Goggles were looking good, then they broke before I even went to the con so I have some not quite so good looking ones. I may have to remake them sometime, or more tempting is to try and make some star glasses.
Perhaps the best bit about this is the way it will billow out behind me when the wind obliges, the light material was half chosen as an experiment to see if I could create this effect and it works beautifully.
All in all a great fun costume to have though, oh and <3 the gold material for the cuffs.
wicked i really want to do this version aswell, cant wait to see progress pictures
I shall get some up when I manage to nick a camera from somewhere.
I Love the fabric youused for the coat it looks great XD
Great job with the wig too :)
I have a photo of my Kamina from nert in the *exact* same sky pose. That's all kinds of Spiral Awesome!
Was awesome to see somebody do Gimp Simon at Ame! ;) :D
This costume suited you really well! I also loved the craftsmanship on the coat, it was styled beautifully.
this is awesome!! and nice epic pic! : D

Captivity, ablation and starvation of the prawn Penaeus monodon affects protein and lipid content in ovary and hepatopancreas tissues
Marsden, Gay E., Mather, Peter B., & Richardson, Neil A. (2007) Captivity, ablation and starvation of the prawn Penaeus monodon affects protein and lipid content in ovary and hepatopancreas tissues. Aquaculture, 271(1-4), pp. 507-515.
To investigate the effect of captivity and ablation on ovary development in Penaeus monodon, two experiments were conducted using prawns captured from waters in North Queensland, Australia. The first experiment quantified total protein and lipid in the ovaries and hepatopancreas prior to and during ovary maturation. The second experiment examined the effect of ablation, captivity and short term starvation on previtellogenic ovary composition.
Results revealed the captive conditions of this study caused a reduction in lipid content in previtellogenic ovaries. Further investigation of the effect of short term starvation on previtellogenic prawns showed that ablation reduced the depletion of protein and lipid from the ovary and the depletion of protein from the hepatopancreas. This suggests that eyestalk neuropeptides are involved in regulating nutrient levels in these tissues prior to vitellogenesis. In addition, ablation appears to increase the hepatopancreas contribution to lipids accumulating in the vitellogenic ovary although captive conditions (including diet) may also play a role in this increase. Despite these significant effects on immature ovaries, the current study showed that, at least for the first post-ablation maturation cycle, captivity and ablation caused no significant change in the levels of lipid or protein in mature ovaries. Thus, the effects of captivity on previtellogenic ovaries and the role of ablation in regulating nutrient uptake at this developmental stage warrants further study with a particular view to improving spawning frequency.

Disney makes "High School Musical 4" with new cast
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Walt Disney Co's teen hit franchise "High School Musical" is coming back for a fourth time -- but with a new cast of characters, the company said on Tuesday.
"High School Musical 4" will debut on the Disney Channel in 2010 -- marking a return to its original cable home after the third instalment danced into movie theaters in 2008.
Disney Channel said in a statement the story would feature a music- and dance-filled love triangle set against cross-town rivalry between fictional high schools in Albuquerque, N.M.
It will introduce a new cast of characters after the fictional "graduation" of the original stars Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale in "High School Musical 3: Senior Year".
"High School Musical" and its spin-offs have proved a lucrative global franchise for Disney since the first made-for-TV movie aired on the Disney Channel in January 2006.
The first two TV movies have been seen by some 300 million viewers in more than 100 nations, including India, China and Russia, produced a hit soundtrack album, a concert tour and a vast range of toys, clothes and books.
"High School Musical 3: Senior Year" -- the first to be made as a feature movie -- has grossed some $250 million at the worldwide box office since its October 2008 release.
Most of the original cast said last year they would not be returning if a fourth instalment were made.

...Quoting: SPARTACUS 23
Yes, they are.. cause Rosicrucian and Freemasonry study the symbols that are encoded science and physics, Even far more advanced than the Science we have now.
What is in those symbols will one day get us off this planet and open up possibilities never before seen
The Advanced civilization that left us with these symbols. left it for us in riddle and allegory to give us time to decipher and our souls to develop into understanding
Wormholes, Gateways, Immortal life, the meaning of life and more..
Conspiracy theories of US vs THEM is a distraction. All of us have a key to truth, but prevented from coming together cause of our suspicions and judgements and fear.
So what exactly are you for??
Are you out to end the global elite, end wars, protect the earth, unite people as one and for the betterment of humanity??
Are you against the political system we have??
To me, it sounds like the Illuminati are in agreement with the Zeitgeist Movement and the Venus Project
Can you point me to some good research???
I was going to ask Spartacus the same thing .
Spartacus you say you know members of the illuminati , are they pro war, pro ONE world order ?
Are they different from the elite ?
I would recommend reading some of the site I originally posted and digging for other clues from there...There are many Illuminati sites I am finding and am learning quite a bit...I find it fascinating and am starting to get a very different feel for the real Illuminati...Not the Royal Dynastic Jesuits that currently run the world...The Old World Order...The Global Elite...The banksters, big oil, insurance companies and corporate America....The Illuminati are for Meritocracy, not Democracy...
[link to www.sacred-texts.com]
[link to www.thegic.org]
Started watching these videos earlier, havent finished yet, but was advised to watch them by some people I was speaking to...
Yes, Meritocracy will have more bearing in the New World, Its actually described in the Bible, as God is the reader of hearts.
The All Seeing Eye sees all , and there will be a type of Judgement day,
Everyone will get the position they deserve based on their heart condition and their willingness to create a better planet.
Ill tell you a secret too, Its not as much your religion, as your ability to encounter the Inner Allegoric Mystery of all the main faiths. And to allow those Allegories to touch your soul and make you a balanced person in wisdom and love.

Thanks for the explanation...And thats what I have been learning a lot about the Egyptians and the Ancients in general...
I look at Egypt as one big symbol for the Cosmos...Its all about symbolism...These people were far from primitive and the knowledge of the planets and the cosmos in general that they had far surpasses anything we know today...And that goes for all ancient societies...
Im starting to see that we have been led to fear the Illuminati or the Occult and its easy to see why...It all depends on what you believe in I guess...The fear of evil dark people comes from the the organized religions...If you actually believe in the Bible, you will look at these people as monsters, when in actuallity, they are the same people we idolize when we look at the Ancient cultures...We are amazed and fascinated when it comes to Egypt, but scared to death when it comes to the Occult...
And it is starting to make a lot of sense why we are led to hate those people...The Knights Templar seem to be the ones behind the Vatican, The Royal Dynasty and the power of the world today...The Illuminati were arch enemies of the Vatican and Knights Templar...We are being led down the wrong path and blaming the wrong group..
I just watched this documentary this morning, going to start part 2 now...
Part 1 was really good and informative...

I think we all saw the History Channel programming that described how the Illuminati and the Freemasons were sort of forced together being both secretive societies with too few rocks to hide under. This took place right around the same time as the Boston Tea Party, which was instigated by a Masonic Lodge
Is it surprising factions of each of these might splinter to form off shoots? And these off shoots might grow to be formidable powers themselves.
It is a nasty mess. No doubt about it.
Freemasons actually welcome men of all faiths.
You sort of surrender that faith at the door and agree not to talk about it. I don't think any one among them finds out until the 33rd degree or whatever the highest level is...they are actually worshiping something.
On ATS I was not allowed to say it. Satan.
I would argue with atheists who embrace the Freemasons naively think it is OK to be open minded.
To a certain extent it is. That extent is until your last meeting. After you have proved yourself worthy. After there is no going back you will discover who the light bearer actually is. I cannot define it, human or demon except to say that as a Mason you ARE worshiping him and he is decidedly anti-Christ.
Maybe a few of these groups are fighting among themselves but more or less you see a reluctant cooperation.
Giving up the ruse to hurt an enemy will hurt them all.

Satan, is a part of it, yes, By understanding that he is a allegorical psyche in all of us
Satan means accuser, The Jews never believed that Satan was a demon, but a Angel of God sent out to test a mans heart, Kinda like a FBI investigator.
When you dont follow your concience, or when you dont regard your fellow man and do something wrong, then Satan has a case against you in Gods court
Therefore, you learn to become blameless and be a better man.
Is that worshipping Satan? Yes, I think so, Respecting him by treading softly around him, bearing the sword of the spirit, so your lower nature never emerges, so Satan has no case against you in the court of the Divine
Skim off the dross to make the Golden Man, and you have nothing to worry about.
Hopefully in the years to come, this Superstitious inaccurate knowledge of what Satan is, will soon fall to the wayside
Use reason and wisdom ! This is what the allegories of the Bible asked you to do.

LOL, I know genuine Illuminati and they are nothing like this website, Yes, it has MANY good ideas on consumerism, materialism, human selfishneses, etc, the feminist movement... and the OUTER deceptions of religionQuoting: Anonymous Coward 1011494
However, Religion is extremely important,
This is what you are not being told
A SHOP FRONT religion is given to the masses... which is called the outer courtyard
While a INNER religion is given to the Priests, Pastors and those unafraid to seek further
Every Illuminati I know are more deeply religious than the most religious person you know
You know genuine Illuminati?
That's rich, because they are sworn to secrecy
and given that there are only about 6000 members worldwide, which equates to about 2 members per bigger city (quite a few members in the United States, from what I understand) you would probably never find more that two or three together outside of some sort of pre-arranged meeting.
Also given, that they operate in a cell-type structure, most members are even unaware of who other members are, this is a design to stop anyone who turns against them from betraying the whole order (there have been times throughout history where they had been on the brink of annihilation from their enemies).
It's quite amusing to read some of the delusional fantasy stories that follow the Ancient Order of the Illuminati.

Author Biography
Sandra Kring lives in Wisconsin. Her debut novel, Carry Me Home, was a BookSense Notable Pick and a 2005 Midwest Booksellers' Choice Award nominee. The Book of Bright Ideas was a 2006 Target Bookmarked™ selection and was named to the New York Public Library's Books for the Teen Age list in 2007.
From the author:
"When I was in the fifth grade, my teacher, who was reading us our chapter-a-day from a children's classic, paused, looked up, and said, "Isn't it amazing that from little black marks on a white page, we can know what was in the heart and mind of someone who lived over a hundred years ago?"
These words became my seeds of inspiration, sticking with me through the remainder of my tumultuous childhood, and through six more years of living without the presence of books in my home. It would take another two decades before I would gain the confidence to put my own little black marks to white pages. The act doing so, and the knowledge that my words could inspire someone today, tomorrow, or years to come, is my greatest source of joy."

|D.C. Follies: Dolls that Tax Credibility
It seems that a company called HeroBuilders, based out of Oxford, Conn., has decided to capitalize on the candidate's teenage flirtation with the occult. Her admitted dalliance with the devil—to impress a boy she was dating—has turned into an Internet and radio call-in sensation. Some people are wondering why the GOP couldn't have supported a more viable, less eccentric politician, while others are glad to have one more solid fact to demonize the Tea Party movement with. Whichever side of the aisle you belong to, you have to admit that a televised self-proclaimed confession of being a practitioner of the "dark arts" is a comedy gold mine.
Being an intrepid snoop, I immediately went in search of HeroBuilders and clicked on its Web site: www.herobuilders.com. The lineup of available dolls is a rogues' gallery of current event darlings and past event villains. It's like a resin time capsule of folks who have enjoyed their 15 minutes of fame and others who wish they could have fled from the press' unblinking focus.
Along with Christine "Bewitched" O'Donnell in her Halloween garb, there is also the "Executive Action Figure" model—a much more staid and ordinary replica of Christine in a mundane office-sensible ensemble. Right beside this new lightning rod for controversy is America's tried-and-true poster girls for senseless partisan attacks and undeniable self-promotion: Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman.
Bachman has only one figure, and it labels her a "Great Republican." Palin, however, has four depictions. They run the gamut from traditional business suit to slutty schoolgirl to sexy workout to superhero costume. The latter actually looks more like Muhammad Ali's boxing trunks meet The Matrix.
In addition to the Conservative coterie, there are also Democrat targets: Michelle and Barack Obama are praised and parodied; Joe Biden is on hand, as are John Edward and Tim Geithner, along with other progressive and Liberal members of the Cabinet and U.S. Congress.
What is fascinating about the dolls is that they are rather clunky, and would never pass inspection by a doll aficionado or a panel from NIADA or the UFDC. However, these likenesses aren't being peddled for the collecting connoisseurs. They are most definitely novelties, or perhaps a step up from that. They are three-dimensional renderings of what we are gabbing and blogging about on any given day.

Politics make strange bedfellows, and it makes even stranger dolls. The dolls are unattractive, but so are many politicians. Sorry.
I think these dolls are quite grotesque. All of the characters look horrible. It doesn't matter what party they belong to. They're all caricatures. The company should spend money and hire better sculptors. I think Anna Chapman who is really quite pretty looks like a man. Maybe she's going undercover as a guy?
There seemed to be an equal division of party members that had been sculpted, and I suspect that a "news junkie" is the ideal buyer. If you worked with Anderson Cooper or Sean Hannity, this is where you could get him a little knickknack for his office desk. I think it's set up for men who love the news. And the treatment of Sarah Palin makes me believe it's for guys who would really love to see her in a "Moms of the Wilderness" Playboy photo shoot. It's interesting to see who is promoted and who is squirreled away at the bottom of the site.

And I just finished modding my boots and these are looking so nice
How long does it take to get these? I may take you up on a pair for my Jodo!
My delivery time is 2-3 weeks. as pay pal takes 14 days to release the payment
I think I'm gonna get myself a little Christmas present here... PM Sent!
I gotta say thats pretty kick butt there, imma have to talk to you when its time for my pair :-)
Very interested in these boots as you have fixed some things that bugged me about others. But can you do them in all white?
Very interested ! PM send.........
Has anyone got a pair of these? I would love to hear a review on how they are.
Has anyone had a reply to a PM!?
It took a couple days, but he did reply to a PM from me. Unfortunately, I decided to go with a set of barely-used un-weathered (a 'fresh canvas', no pun intended) Mark Cheng boots with finished metal toe spikes from the Cargo Hold. Between the cost of these boots and a new set of toe spikes, the slightly-used boots were a better price overall.
Anyone know if he does them in white as well? I can't get any reply.
Landher makes a very long vacation .
Still intrested buddy!
very nice...
That looks fantastic!
Nice work, hermano!

So how do we go about getting these boots if all communications are ignored?

Dear Mr. Allen West,
My name is Alec. Like you, I am a veteran of the Iraq War. Like you, I sacrificed for my country. I left my little girl when she was only six days old so I could serve. I know you were awarded a Bronze Star. I have one just like it too. We have so much in common, but that is not why I am trying to contact you. You see, last week you called me a communist.
Well, you didn't really call me a communist. That would have taken actual courage. The kind you seem to have left behind when you took the uniform off. When you said there were 81 communist Democrats, you refused to actually name them. You said it was a progressive ideology that made anyone a communist.
Mr. West, I have a progressive ideology. I have an ideology like our most popularly elected President, FDR. Was he a communist? Our greatest generation of amazing leaders chose FDR as their leader a record four times. Was our greatest generation communists Mr. West? It is funny that you claim to fight for a country that was built by folks you consider communists.
Mr. West, it is bad enough you called me, and so many other loyal Americans communists. You didn't even have the courage to name them. I do not lack that courage, Mr. West. Until you actually name your list of communists, I have no choice but to address you as coward.
Furthermore, if we believed your definition of communist, it would mean that we live in a communist country. I cannot accept your assertion Mr. West. This country had great progressives from Teddy Roosevelt to FDR to JFK to our current progressive caucus. You are a rhetorical bombing throwing terrorist Mr. West. You hide behind cute phrases and cowardly generalities. Stand up and name names.
Finally, my country is not communist. Our great leaders were not communist. Our greatest generation was not communist. They were simply progressive. However, Mr. West, you do match almost all of the defining characteristics of a fascist. Therefore, I will call you by name, both fascist and coward. Until such time as you step up and name names for your cowardly accusations.
After the break, you can see your classification as fascist.
1. Powerful and Continuing Nationalism – Fascist regimes tend to make constant use of patriotic mottos, slogans, symbols, songs, and other paraphernalia. Flags are seen everywhere, as are flag symbols on clothing and in public displays.
Check. I would refer you to Mr. West's campaign site. I don't really want to provide a link. It is quite easy to find and speaks for itself.
2. Disdain for the Recognition of Human Rights – Because of fear of enemies and the need for security, the people in fascist regimes are persuaded that human rights can be ignored in certain cases because of "need." The people tend to look the other way or even approve of torture, summary executions, assassinations, long incarcerations of prisoners, etc.
Check. Mr. West was actually punished under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, UCMJ, for what, in essence was an abuse of a defenseless prisoner.
3. Identification of Enemies/Scapegoats as a Unifying Cause – The people are rallied into a unifying patriotic frenzy over the need to eliminate a perceived common threat or foe: racial , ethnic or religious minorities; liberals; communists; socialists, terrorists, etc.
Check. This is what this letter, and his entire career in Congress has been about.
4. Supremacy of the Military – Even when there are widespread
domestic problems, the military is given a disproportionate amount of government funding, and the domestic agenda is neglected. Soldiers and military service are glamorized.
Um, check.
5. Rampant Sexism – The governments of fascist nations tend to be almost exclusively male-dominated. Under fascist regimes, traditional gender roles are made more rigid. Divorce, abortion and homosexuality are suppressed and the state is represented as the ultimate guardian of the family institution.
Check. Mr. West's staffers have literally had to reassure constituents that he does not, in fact, hate women.
6. Controlled Mass Media – Sometimes to media is directly controlled by the government, but in other cases, the media is indirectly controlled by government regulation, or sympathetic media spokespeople and executives. Censorship, especially in war time, is very common.
Check. West's response to WikiLeaks: "And I think that we also should be censoring the American news agencies which enabled him to do this and also supported him and applauding him for the efforts. So that's kind of aiding and abetting of a serious crime."
7. Obsession with National Security – Fear is used as a motivational tool by the government over the masses.
Check. Just one example, he wants to warn us about the terrible Muslims and our great risk of cultural suicide vis-a-vis the Muslims
8. Religion and Government are Intertwined – Governments in fascist nations tend to use the most common religion in the nation as a tool to manipulate public opinion. Religious rhetoric and terminology is common from government leaders, even when the major tenets of the religion are diametrically opposed to the government's policies or actions.
Check. Separation of church and state does not exist, according to West. Period.
9. Corporate Power is Protected – The industrial and business aristocracy of a fascist nation often are the ones who put the government leaders into power, creating a mutually beneficial business/government relationship and power elite.
Check. West says Obama tax rates are weapons of mass destruction. The tax rates that are lower than Ronald Reagan's, but still. Little corporate pandering and fear mongering. A fascist double play!
10. Labor Power is Suppressed – Because the organizing power of labor is the only real threat to a fascist government, labor unions are either eliminated entirely, or are severely suppressed.
Check. In his 2009 campaign, West tried to link now defunct ACORN with labor unions as one big ball of evil. The kind of evil that lobby's for the poor and for workers because they are apparently over-represented in the free market of the amazing invisible hand.
11. Disdain for Intellectuals and the Arts – Fascist nations tend to promote and tolerate open hostility to higher education, and academia. It is not uncommon for professors and other academics to be censored or even arrested. Free expression in the arts and letters is openly attacked.
He seems to value education, so I will not give this one a check.
12. Obsession with Crime and Punishment – Under fascist regimes, the police are given almost limitless power to enforce laws. The people are often willing to overlook police abuses and even forgo civil liberties in the name of patriotism. There is often a national police force with virtually unlimited power in fascist nations.
Check. I would say the actions for which he was punished in the military pretty much exemplify his do whatever you want to get the bad guy mentality.
13. Rampant Cronyism and Corruption – Fascist regimes almost always are governed by groups of friends and associates who appoint each other to government positions and use governmental power and authority to protect their friends from accountability. It is not uncommon in fascist regimes for national resources and even treasures to be appropriated or even outright stolen by government leaders.
I am not sure he has been around long enough to develop cronies. I'll give him a pass on this for now.
14. Fraudulent Elections – Sometimes elections in fascist nations are a complete sham. Other times elections are manipulated by smear campaigns against or even assassination of opposition candidates, use of legislation to control voting numbers or political district boundaries, and manipulation of the media. Fascist nations also typically use their judiciaries to manipulate or control elections.
Check. Voting rights and abilities are being demolished and hindered at every turn. This is a huge check
So, Allen West meets 12/14 standards for being a fascist.
Democratic Progressive Caucus meets the standards of our most popularly elected president of all time.
Who is more American?
Mr. West, when you name names the coward tag will be removed.
Good Day.

Wallabies coach Ewen McKenzie believes test rugby will see the best of Israel Folau now that his head has been cleared of contractual worries.
McKenzie faces a tough choice whether to move Folau from the wing to fullback for Saturday night's Rugby Championship clash with South Africa after two quiet displays against the All Blacks.
Despite a roving commission, the code-hopper struggled to get involved in the back-to-back Bledisloe Cup losses and there have been widespread calls for him to be switched to No 15 where he starred for the Waratahs.
Brumbies fullback Jessie Mogg is under pressure after two starts as custodian, especially as Folau and fellow winger James O'Connor were the most dangerous ball-runners from their limited opportunities against New Zealand.
While McKenzie has indicated he is likely to make changes for the Springboks, he is giving little away about Folau's role.
"I've been pretty impressed with his contribution," he said. "I'm not worried about where he's at as a footballer. I'm worried about the composition of the group and getting the right balance."
McKenzie felt last week's decision to re-sign with the Australian Rugby Union for two more years would free him of a "background distraction" and allow him to focus better on his game.
"I'm not saying that's inhibited him but it inhibits a lot of footballers," the coach said. "Once that's sorted then you can really focus the mind. Once you do you will definitely see the best out of him in the next period of time."
Springboks coach Heyneke Meyer is already on guard for Folau, no matter where he plays in the Wallabies backline.
Folau carved up on his two-match trek to South Africa with the Waratahs, tearing apart Bulls and Kings defenders who struggled to come to terms with his pace, step and long stride.
"He's just been a revelation to watch in Super Rugby," Meyer said.
"I really believe he's one of the best game-breakers in world rugby and he's only played [one] season."
Australia would love to see Folau pop up all over the field in attack and make an impact like France-bound winger Digby Ioane who regularly touched the ball more than any other.
McKenzie said the five-test rookie's ability to get involved would only improve with each test and more time alongside his new teammates.
"Time fixes a lot of things," he said. "You only fix these things with exposure and getting involved. He's got pretty good instincts."

It is basically a generalization of what Allison (2002)
discusses in footnote 5. Ironically, this footnote is
there to indicate an exception to his rule that
adding such dummies to control for missing is usually
not wise...
For an example of what such an analysis might look

I just started working on blocks from a book I purchased called "The Civil War Diary Quilt" by Rosemary Youngs. There are 121 different blocks. I am struggling with someone of them, I'd rather not paper peice each block. It is a challenge and if I do 1 block at a time I should eventually get them finished.
I just got last year's Civil War BOM pattern in a garage sale. I think it would be great in a scrappy set of civil war fabrics.
I was thinking about it, but they amount of money I figured it was costing me was not worth it. I plan on doing a civil war quilt on my own, with a pattern of course.
Gee, I will try again to reply to your post; the first attempt apparently disappeared into Cyper Space. Yes, I am doing the Civil War Journal and would be happy to compare notes, pictures, hints, etc.,
Received my first packet of material and read over the instructions; love that it is from the children's point of view.
Yes, I have only received the first packet. I am making the full sized quilt and may try to do something to make it even a bit bigger. I am making one using the fabrics provided by my quilt shop and I am making a second full sized one using my own Cival War fabrics. I am done making those first 16 blocks - it is a lot of fun and a beautiful quilt. I have never joined a group to make a quilt and this is really a nice change (a bit more expensive than I am used to but I guess I only live once). I'd love to share progress and notes! I am also on the 2012-2013 Dear Jane thread and making two of those at the same time. Needless to say, I am behind on the DJ!
Yes, please count me in! My first package has arrived but I haven't opened it yet. We are snowbirds and it arrived at home and I am not at home! LOL The second month will have arrived by the time we get home, but I can hardly wait to get my hands on the project.
I will do my own to. I have some civil war fabric, need some red's but that's it. I think BOM are pricey for my budget and I also enjoy picking out my fabrics. grace
Create something beautiful from scraps.
I'm doing both the Civil War Quilt Diary and CW love Diary. I think I have 50 blocks done on one and 75 on the other, doing all scrappy civil war fabrics.

I am making the Civil War Journal Quilt bom with the KKK's Quilt shop in Hillsboro, Illinois. We cut the middle blocks for the center last week. I could not wait to sew the blocks. Mine are done and I do not get the next part till the middle of February. I'll just have to wait. It will be a beautiful quilt when it is done. I am making the large one.

READER REVIEW: Colby's Review of Private Selection Chai Tea with Chocolate Ginger Cookie
Recently while browsing the ice cream assortment at my local grocery store, I stopped to inspect the selection of Kroger's Private Selection Ice Cream. Although the pint flavors offered are typically limited, one caught my eye that intrigued me: Chai Tea With Chocolate Ginger Cookies. This could have potential. My hopes were that the spiced chai tea ice cream blended with a creamy caramel ribbon and miniature ginger cookies marbled with chocolate would excite my taste buds in ways Ben & Jerry's Cinnamon Buns or Oatmeal Cookie Chunk consistently do.
So I decided to pick it up and give it a try (at $1.79 a pint what did I really have to lose?) and headed home to try out this unique flavor. Having been disappointed with other Private Selection offerings in the past, I really wasn't sure how this ice cream would pan out. At first glimpse, the less than ultra-premium (200 cal, 10g Fat/Serving) ice cream had quickly begun to melt. The smell of ginger instantly filled my nostrils and I began to scrap the surface to see what lied beneath.
I was a little shocked to see such a dense caramel swirl hiding inside this pint. However, the caramel lacked the flavor punch needed to accelerate this flavor to the heights of other brands. The amount of ginger cookie pieces was slightly below average and the cookies were very soft. Personally I am a huge fan of texture and the cookie pieces could have added much more "chew" to this pint if they were crunchier. The flavor of the cookies pared well with the chai tea base which really just tasted like ginger. The base was really disappointing. Yes it was creamy, but it just didn't hold up to other brands of similar quality (Edy's, Blue Bell, Turkey Hill, etc.). I think if chocolate chunks were included it would greatly enhance the quality of this ice cream. Maybe I would have enjoyed this "Seasonal Offering" more in a different season, but overall it was unique and different. If you find yourself in an experimental mood and a strong ginger flavor excites you, give this a go. If not, pass by and indulge in something different.

After being heavily courted by Wisconsin since receiving his UW offer in June, including receiving an in-home visit from Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan and assistant coach Lamont Paris Thursday, Bowling Green (OH) 6-7, 215-pound senior forward Vitto Brown announced Friday that the city and the UW coaching style met all of his desires.
"They had the perfect for my position and my style of play," Brown told Badger Nation. "The coaches were very persistent and enthusiastic about getting me. The city of Madison is a great city all around. I actually decided before they left my house yesterday afternoon."
Brown becomes the fourth commit in Wisconsin's 2013 recruiting class, joining La Crosse point guard Bronson Koenig, Minneapolis forward Riley Dearring and Pasadena (CA) guard Jordan Hill. Brown had picked up additional BCS offers from Iowa State, Kansas State, Minnesota and Nebraska, the latter who he took an official visit to in early September.
The stress and pressure high school athletes feel about their recruitment and making a commitment can be such a long process, so Brown was understandably excited to lift all the weight off his shoulders.
"It feels great and it's also a relief to have it done, so I can focus on the upcoming season," said Brown. "I think we have a loaded 2013 class and it's interesting to see where all the guys I've played with/against are committing, too."
Brown is ready right away to contribute to the team and thinks his skill set will bring a lot as well. Now, what was the head coach, Bo Ryan's reaction to the news of his commitment, though?
"I think I will bring versatility with my offensive skill set and also a good defensive presence with my shot blocking and rebounding abilities," said Brown. "Oh he was excited! (laughing) You could tell that a huge weight was just lifted off his shoulder and that his plane ride back would be much more enjoyable."
The Badgers have gone into the Buckeye State quite a bit in the last few years landing players such as Rob Wilson and Traevon Jackson. Now the coaching staff turns its attention to Toledo (OH) forward Nigel Hayes, who the Badgers also made an in-home visit to on Thursday. The Badgers hosted Hayes on an official visit on September 1 and will wait for Hayes to take officials to Stanford and Ohio State before deciding.
Brown might not wait that long.
"When the opportunity presents itself, then yes sir I will be recruiting for the class," Brown said.

After completing the final version of his general theory of relativity in November 1915, Albert Einstein wrote a book about relativity for a popular audience. His intention was "to give an exact insight into the theory of relativity to those readers who, from a general scientific and philosophical point of view, are interested in the theory, but who are not conversant with the mathematical apparatus of theoretical physics." The book remains one of the most lucid explanations of the special and general theories ever written. In the early 1920s alone, it was translated into ten languages, and fifteen editions in the original German appeared over the course of Einstein's lifetime.
This new edition of Einstein's celebrated book features an authoritative English translation of the text along with an introduction and a reading companion by Hanoch Gutfreund and Jürgen Renn that examines the evolution of Einstein's thinking and casts his ideas in a broader present-day context. A special chapter explores the history of and the stories behind the early foreign-language editions in light of the reception of relativity in different countries. This edition also includes a survey of the introductions from those editions, covers from selected early editions, a letter from Walther Rathenau to Einstein discussing the book, and a revealing sample from Einstein's handwritten manuscript.
Published on the hundredth anniversary of general relativity, this handsome edition of Einstein's famous book places the work in historical and intellectual context while providing invaluable insight into one of the greatest scientific minds of all time.
Hanoch Gutfreund is professor emeritus of theoretical physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, where he is also the academic director of the Albert Einstein Archives. He lives in Jerusalem. Jürgen Renn is a director at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin. His books include The Genesis of General Relativity. He lives in Berlin.
"I can still see some fugitive magic in Relativity . . . it conjures Einstein as the oracle presenting a theory to the world--one of the most revolutionary and profound theories of all time."--Pedro Ferreira, Nature
"Nobody is better at explaining relativity than Einstein himself; his account provides a combination of depth and clarity that only he could confidently produce. . . . This 100th anniversary edition is complemented by commentary from Gutfreund and Renn, who clarify some key points and add historical perspective, making Einstein's own words even more accessible and meaningful."--Tom Siegfried, Science News
"Hanoch Gutfreund, professor emeritus of theoretical physics at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and Jurgen Renn, director of the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science in Berlin, augment the 100th anniversary edition of [Relativity] with a reading companion to make Einstein's thinking clearer to present-day readers."--Mike Perricone, Symmetry Magazine
"This new edition of Einstein's popular presentation of both special and general relativity is a joy to read. Over the past hundred years, relativity has been brought to the public in many forms--magazines, books, documentaries--but there's nothing quite like being guided through one of the most profound scientific insights of all time by the master himself."--Brian Greene, Columbia University
"This book is not only an important historical document, but displays the style and clarity of Einstein's thought in a manner accessible to a wide readership. It's good that it is being reissued in this fine new edition to mark the centenary of his greatest insights."--Martin Rees, Trinity College, University of Cambridge, and Astronomer Royal

A Line Of Sight
I am small and tiny,
A lens
Looking at snapshots
Of how the world has been.
One day I will crack
For good,
And I will see no more.
I will sit on the back step
and I will see the stars.
No more than pinpricks,
I know they are huge,
And full of promise,
And burning,
And dying.
Someone else is seeing these stars.
Has seen, and will again.
My mother's eyes are cloudy now;
Stars so huge and vacant,
All gone or dying or dead.
Light is memory, with
The dark rooms behind my eyes
Painted ghost, amnesiac silver.
Cancer is blooming,
Like a discarded Valentine's bouquet.
People are so unexpectedly complex --
Like cutting into agate
And finding crystalline dreams.

Location description from owner
The England region
The rolling hills of The Lincolnshire Wolds has been designated an area of outstanding natural beauty and serves as perfect walking country. With abundant wildlife, unspoilt towns, villages and hamlets it's really quite lovely.
There are many 'places of interest' for you to visit. A few of these are listed below.
Lincoln City approx 40 minutes drive:
Lincoln is steeped in history, and brimming with life. Look back over 2,000 years of history and discover the city's Roman, Norman, Medieval, Tudor and Georgian heritage.
The Lincoln Xmas Markets are held in Lincoln Castle from midday Thu 5th Dec 2013 to 7pm Sun 8th Dec 2013. Changes to previous years are announced. To view the latest info go to:-
Lincoln Castle:
William the Conqueror built Lincoln Castle, in 1068, on a strategic site that had once been used by the Romans. 166 families who were living on the site had their houses demolished and were forced to provide labour for the construction of the castle. The castle hosts an exciting events programme and offers free guided tours. Experience the magnificent views of the cathedral, the City of Lincoln and the surrounding countryside from the extensive wall walks during your visit to the castle. Lincoln Castle also holds one of only two original copies of the Magna Carta.
Lincoln Cathedral:
Lincoln Cathedral was for almost 300 years the tallest building in the world. Yet, in spite of its size, it is filled with intricate detail. There is something for everyone. Children love seeking out the funny carvings. Not just the Imp, but the cat and mouse and so many other little details that brightened the masons' days.
John Ruskin famously said, 'I have always held and proposed against all comers to maintain that the Cathedral of Lincoln is out and out the most precious piece of architecture in the British Isles'
The BBMF (Battle of Britain Memorial Flight) Visitor Centre:
A unique partnership between the Royal Air Force and Lincolnshire County Council provides the public with a gateway to the home of the BBMF at RAF Coningsby, Lincolnshire. Since opening its doors in 1986, the BBMF Visitor Centre has welcomed over 300,000 people, offering them the opportunity to see the Flight's historic aircraft at close quarters and to observe the BBMF technicians working to maintain them in airworthy condition. Check this site for regular display programmes.
RAF Donna Nook Seal Sanctuary:
Nr North Somercotes' and only 10 Miles from the lodges. The Seals at Donna Nook are VERY VERY close to the shore line and can be photographed quite easily with a simple camera. The seals attract 40,000 visitors to the Lincolnshire coast from end October to end of December every year – Donna Nook National Nature Reserve (NNR) is probably the best place within the U.K. for photographing grey seals. Each year, as autumn rolls into winter, hundreds of grey seals begin hauling themselves out onto Donna Nooks' sandbanks to give birth to their pups. Here the most important activities of the grey seal calendar are played out, giving photographers unprecedented opportunities to capture dramatic pictures of this spectacular period.
Skegness, Donkeys and Donuts, all the traditional fun of the seaside, is 15 miles away. Follow the link above and check out the 'Gallery' of pictures which are updated daily.
Gibraltar Point Nature Reserve
Local to Skegness, NE corner of the Wash, Admission to the Reserve and Visitor Centre is Free but car parking charges apply. Check out the Gibraltar Point link below for details of the visitor centre, cafe and opening times.
Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway
Great whatever the weather. With the majority of our stations being under cover, the weather won't spoil your group tour on the Cleethorpes Coast Light Railway. Fully enclosed carriages can also be provided for your booking, Ideal for Schools, Clubs & Societies wanting to experience the bygone age of a working Steam Railway
Cadwell Park
Fondly nicknamed the 'mini Nürburgring', Cadwell Park is held closely in the hearts of many motorsport fans. Located five miles south of Louth, the Lincolnshire circuit is especially popular with bikers nationwide.
Are you a Gardener? Check out
Elsham Hall country Park. One of the most imaginative gardens in England. The walled garden is a magnificent 4 acre site. Or Doddington Hall. An example of a fine late Elizabethan Mansion with 5 acres of gardens.
Pleasure Island Theme Park:
Theme Park and Family shows April through October 10.30 to 4pm. Fireworks Early November. Check the site calender for opening times and events.
Alford Windmill:
The site consists of a working windmill incorporating a shop on the ground floor which sells a wide range of locally milled flour as well as a range of jams, cereals and gifts. In addition, the Old Sail Shed houses our tea room 'Millstones' which serves hot and cold meals and soups plus delicious cakes, scones and desserts.
This area of Lincolnshire offers something for everyone.
'Lucky' Louth is on your doorstep, left behind to become an almost perfect focus of rural life and is known as the capital of the Lincolnshire Wolds. This delightful Georgian market town, dominated by the steeple of St James church at 295ft, appears almost untouched by time and still boasts many independent shops and purveyors of local foods and delicacies to tempt you.
There are 6 Butchers and a delicatessen, all providing a selection of home made local delicacies, 2 Grocers, a Cheese shop, an old fashioned Tailors, a Cobblers, and a fish shop.
Enjoy Louth open market in the town centre on Wednesdays, Fridays, (half Market) and Saturdays (full Market). Wonderful produce, a wide selection and excellent value.
There is a Best Western Hotel on the estate with restaurant, Poachers bar and coffee shop and free WiFi, approx 0.5 miles from Woodpecker Lodge.
Try the Royal Oak Inn at Little Cawthorpe (locally known as 'The Splash' ), Walking distance by public footpath across the estate, weather permitting. Carvery on Sundays.
Not to mention award winning Fish and Chips in Louth.

text: Plot: A small town in Texas surrounded by desert which, time and again as the day breaks, disgorges an increasing number of Mexicans who have either been murdered or have died of thirst. A convict is released from prison. Thanks to his new-found Muslim faith, William Garnett's behaviour has been exemplary and, with the aid of a sympathetic parole officer, he begins a new life in the town. But his past is well-known and before long, a sheriff bent on revenge and an ex-crony from the underworld are both breathing down his neck. Garnett must conquer the demons of his past. He finds support in the shape of his parole officer, his faith and a new love. Rachid Bouchareb's La voie de l'ennemi is a new adaptation of the 1973 thriller Deux hommes dans la ville, in which novelist and director José Giovanni, who himself served a prison sentence, explored the injustices of the French judicial system. Bouchareb transposes the novel's plot to the social and political landscape of today's America. Forest Whitaker and Harvey Keitel embody extremes of power and abuse, reconciliation and revenge in this Kafkaesque drama.
