Episode One: PilotMature
Sentient is a story about a young woman whose ability to communicate with animals leads her on a journey to take down a food Industry that is destroying the country. Taking place in the dystopian future of 2044, Sentient delves into the lives of several unique characters, both human and animal.
April 2044:
Awake. At least, so it seemed. She wasn't really sure anymore. Bray Hoffman adjusted her eyes at the white ceiling. She felt claustrophobic. Shit. She was still here. She was indeed awake.
Taking a breath, she felt heaviness against her chest. A white sheet, its fabric like sandpaper against her skin, imposed on her body. She pushed it down to meet her waist. She felt hot and tired. Feeling sweat beads line her forehead, she wiped them away with the back of her hand. She must've had a nightmare. Why couldn't she remember it? An empty plastic cup called to her from the tray table to her left, and she remembered:
"Fucking medication," she whispered.
"Did I hear someone say medication?" A nurse entered the room.
The nurse's voice muffled behind a surgical mask that covered her mouth and nose. Her white uniform provided near camouflage against the white-washed walls behind her. She stood over Bray with long, black hair that grayed as it neared the top of her head.
Bray sat up in bed, leaning her forearms against the mattress. She heard the voices of some other teenagers in the hallway. They were arguing. One had apparently stolen the other's brush. Bray wished there was a window to escape out of right about now. Well always, really. The hospital had remodeled their psych unit with an absence of windows, to reduce the risk of jumpers. She remembered when they had windows.
"Here," the nurse said, bringing her back into the present, "I need to see you take them."
"I know!" Bray snapped at her.
"And don't forget to put your mask on if you're going to stay awake."
"Why on earth do we have to keep wearing these?" Bray asked as she picked up a similar mask to the one the nurse had wrapped around her face.
"You know why...so you don't get sick. It's the law."
"It's the law," Bray mocked. "I don't think the law matters in this case. I'm already locked away. What are they gonna' do if I don't wear it? Wrap me up in a strait jacket?"
"Very funny," the nurse said, grinning. "Now c'mon. Take your meds."
She picked up the clear plastic cup. She was tired of taking medications. She hated the way they made her feel. The way it felt when the pills traveled down her throat and into her system, the way they took her away from her feelings and limited her abilities.
"I feel like these pills are slowly killing me," Bray admitted.
"Don't be dramatic. You're only seventeen."
"I'm serious. No one takes me seriously around here. Like last night. Remember, I told you that girl was out to get me. She showed me a piece of glass and said she was going to cut me with it."
"And how do you suppose she got the piece of glass?"
"Probably smuggled it in, I don't know."
"Bray." The nurse was losing her patience. "You know everyone gets a body scan before they come in here. Now if you're really feeling threatened, you know you can-"
"Talk to the doctor, blah, blah, blah," Bray interrupted.
"And I feel like you're just stalling, so take your meds!"
"I'm not!" Bray remembered the image of that tall, white girl who stood above her bed while she was sleeping last night."You know I'm not like all these other kids here. They're all violent and crazy and-"
"You're not crazy," the nurse chimed in. "Nonetheless, you need to let me do my job and you need to take your meds."
Bray paused and glared at the nurse.
"Take your meds!" The nurse raised her voice, startling Bray.
"Okay," she gave in.
Lifting up the cup to her face, she stopped just before tossing the pills into her mouth. She remembered back to the age of 12. She almost gagged the first time she had to take them.
"Is something wrong?" The nurse asked.
"No," Bray responded, wondering how she could she get away with it. Could she toss them in and then push them over to the side of her mouth? No, the nurse would check for that. She knew what she needed to do. She was tired of feeling nothing. She was really just tired of being here. And now she felt unsafe, like that girl might attack her tonight. If she skipped her medications, she could more readily think up a plan.
Swallowing the pills, she opened her mouth to the nurse and displayed the emptiness inside.
"Very good!" The nurse pulled away and turned toward the door.
"What time is it?" Bray asked.
"Uhh…" The nurse observed the digital object wrapped around her wrist. "7:17."
"Yep." The nurse turned back to face her.
"So I slept all day?"
"As usual."
Damn it, I have to get this shit out of my system.
Bray watched the nurse leave the room. She pulled herself from the bed, dropped her feet against the cold tile floor, and quickly stepped into the bathroom.
Shutting the door, she turned toward the toilet. No time to waste. She pulled her hair back away from her face and stepped up to the toilet bowl. Bending over, she took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She pushed her two left fingers into her mouth. She felt her heart race. She was scared, but she did it anyway.
Her fingers pressing as far back into her throat as they could go, she felt it. Her stomach pulled. She gagged. The liquids lifted from within, against gravity, and raced upward until they pushed through her throat. The hot wetness hit her fingers before she could move her hand away, and then fell out and into the toilet.
She spit out the remaining pieces of foodstuff and bile. She glanced at the contents of the bowl, piecing through the undigested breakfast, and then she saw them. She counted one...two...three pills. It had worked.
After washing her hands, she journeyed out into the hall. The yellow walls stunk of chlorine. Why were they so fucking paranoid about disease?
Why were they so fucking paranoid about disease?
Then, Bray saw her. Roxie, the girl that threatened her last night, was sitting in a chair down the hall with her legs folded. She was staring up at the ceiling. Her hair was tied back with a string from the craft room. Suddenly, the girl turned in Bray's direction. Bray's heart quickened and she tried diverting her attention away.
"Hey voice girl!" Roxie screamed down the hall.
Everyone called Bray "voice girl", she guessed because she was presumed to hallucinate, which made no sense to her since everyone seemed to be here for the same reason.
Roxie stood up and walked toward Bray, twisting her arms through the air like snakes shifting through grass.
"I'm talkin' to you, girl." Roxie slithered.
Bray turned to face the nurse's station. She started to walk toward one of the nurses when she felt a slight yank. Roxie had grabbed her hair. Bray stopped and stood, trying not to provoke her. She felt her hair tighten in Roxie's grip as Roxie pulled her into an empty room and pushed her up against a wall. Roxie stepped close and breathed into Bray's left ear. She held a jaded piece of glass near Bray's eye.
"You best keep your eyes open tonight if you want to live. Got it?"
Bray nodded her head. Her heart raced. A tear gathered in her eye.
Roxie let go of Bray's hair and stepped past her, sliding down the hall and laughing.
Bray took a deep breath and pretended everything was okay. She stepped up to the front desk.
"What's up, Bray?" One of the workers asked her.
"I need to use the phone."
"Who you callin'?"
"Harlem," she grinned.
The nurse entered the hallway from an open office to the right of the desk.
"She wants to call Harlem," the desk worker spoke to the nurse.
"Oh," the nurse responded. "That's fine," and led Bray down the hall to a narrow, empty room.
Bray walked in and sat on a wooden stool beside a lone end table. The walls inside the room were empty. One of the teens had told her that the framed art that once hung on the walls was taken down and used as weapons.
"You've got five minutes," the nurse stated and then walked away.
Bray watched the nurse leave the room. The open passageway into the hall stood without a door. They didn't want teens having secret conversations on the phone, so the door was removed from its hinges. She yearned for privacy.
She picked up the phone and dialed Harlem's number. Her heart pulsed. "Please answer," she whispered.
"Hello?" His voice felt warm.
"Hey." She smiled. She missed him.
"Hey, how's it hangin' in there?"
"Oh my God." She shook her head. "I can't do this anymore."
"Do what?" he asked.
"C'mon, you know what I'm talking about. We've only got like five minutes to talk."
"Okay." He paused. "What's up?"
"I need out."
"Out? How?"
"You help me," she demanded.
"What?" His voice lifted. "Bray, how the hell am I supposed to do that? I'm not your parent."
"No, thank God! And you know they're not going to do anything, since they're the ones that put me here."
"I know." His tone fell downhill. "But there's not really much I can do."
"You can get me out."
"I don't know. It's not like I have this all figured out. Just come for a visit, and then we'll just go."
"Bray, you're living in a fantasy world."
"Maybe I am." She paused. "But it's worth a shot. Please, Harlem. I'm serious. This place is gonna be the end of me."
"What makes you say that?"
"Roxie is threatening me again. I tried telling them, but they don't give a shit. They think I'm just crazy like everyone else, but I'm telling you, Harlem. She just walked up to me in the hall and told me I better keep my eyes open tonight if I want to live," Bray cried. "I don't even feel safe here anymore."
"Jesus," Harlem gasped, "I'm sorry, Bray."
"Please, Harlem, please get me outta' here."
Beep...Beep...Beep...Bray feared that sound.
"Your time is up...Your time is up..." a female, automated voice repeated. Connection was lost.
"Fuck!" Bray slammed the phone down onto the table. Stepping backwards in frustration until her back hit the wall, Bray covered her face with her hands and broke down.

We crossed over into New Brunswick again and saw a information booth. We have been impressed at the wonderful information booths in Canada.

The other F800GS in our group with the Scorpion Trails would be a different animal all together. This thing was fun! I really wanted not to like it. I have been bragging about the Versys 17" wheel for ages. The Versys turns better for sure, but I think this is something I ...
The Inland Surfers
... tidal wave (not huge...about 18 inches) it comes from the Bay of Fundy down the River. Surfers get on their boards and sit in the river to wait for it to arrive, they have the times all written up, its like clockwork. So there we were beside the river in light drizzly rain and around the corner came the wave with 3 surfers. Quite amazing really. The river is really muddy with a red mud.
After that we travelled south along the coast destination Hopewell ...
Short Visit to Moncton
... to skid out and get himself and his shoes and clothes covered in the clay. Another great move by Dad.
Walking around the downtown we noticed an abnormal number of churches from multiple denominations. A lady we asked on the street confirmed that every block has one and picking one for your wedding was hard as there are so many choices.
Lots of of French here.
Time to head out and move on.

Vand: Useless
Terror strikes through me as a person started attacking us through the shadows. But, I was useless. I couldn't do anything, nothing at all. I looked around for a possible weapon, hoping it would help me at least defend myself. That's when I see the broken off branch. I run and grab it, then I hold it like a baseball bat.
I walk up behind the shadow man as he was having a magic fight with my little brother, Soren. Then, with all my might, I slam the stick into the back of his head. He stands for a moment, stunned when Soren, Derrick and Kiandra use a barrage of magic on him. He faints to the ground, knocked out but not dead.
"Who was that?" I ask.
"I don't know?"
Later that night, while the man was still knocked out, Derrick and Kiandra were taking care of him. I was sitting alone under a tree, looking at the moon and Soren came by and sat next to me.
"Hey, how are you doing?"
"Not good. I'm practically useless."
"We'll find a way to get your powers back."
I shake my head. "No, we won't."
There was silence.
"You know," I start, "I've been thinking about my last wish."
"What about?"
I smile. "You know, your sister-in-law, she died about 13 years ago. But, she was all for the humans. In fact, it was her that gave me all the knowledge about the lack of food and the worldwide starvation. We went to the Magister Lord of the North to convince him to stop persecuting us. But, it didn't work out so well. He... he killed her and then I killed him. That's why Pelastor's dad took over, the Magister Lord of the East."
"So, what does that have to do about your wish?"
"He was talking about the darkness of humans, and how we were all supposed to die. That's how he justified keeping the drought. And, you know, I started listening to him. But, now that I am no better than a human, I feel bad for them. So, I know what I'm going to wish for."
"For the rains to come and the drought to end?"
"Yeah." I pause. "Soren, I want you to promise me something, before I... you know. Die."
"Sure, what?"
"Remember me. Remember me because I'm doing this for the sake of the world and it won't turn out so well for me. I never told you before, but I have a son. I want you to promise that you will tell my son how I died when this is all over and when you've finally done what you're here to do. He lives in the hangman's forest with Avantra looking after him. His name is Thomas, Thomas Bernard Aquos."
Soren took a deep breath. "Ok, I will."
I nod and smile, and then a lone tear runs down my the left side of my face. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too."
I wrapped my arms around my brother and I started crying over his shoulder as he cried over mine.
Then, through tears I said. "I wish that the drought would end and that for as long as the human race exists that the earth would feed them and the oceans would give them drink."
And with saying that, I died in the arms of my brother. And then, the sky cried.
The End of Vand's Tale.

That feeling of falling into an unmade bed that has seemingly memorized the shape of your body from the last time you slept in it is most likely the best damn flopping feeling I have ever felt in my dumb life.
What's even more is the satisfaction that people leave you alone.
They let you sleep.
With a smile on their face as they close the door after pulling the blanket a bit more so over your exposed body.
I think what I like
the very, very best
is falling asleep naked.

Hi There I was wondering if anyone could help? On The 3rd of march I had a rowing race but unfortunately had to make up numbers in another boat too so ended up running 16km! The next tuesday I went for a 5 mile run with no problem however I got back and felt a slight twinge when I got up but nothing serious. The next day I tried running again it was ok for the first half but I had to walk home because it really hurt at the very bottom of my back top of bum to the right of the tail bone. Its also painful when i put trousers on that type of thing. I rested it until today and tried on the treadmill but couldnt and I have scheduled runs tomorrow tuesday and a half marathon next weekend!
Does anyone know what this could be or how to cure it? Sorry for such a long answer.
Many Thanks
I tried a Half Marathon with this injury after resting it for a week. Went ok for 5 miles when it decided to 'let go' completely.
Ended up having a ride to the finish in the back of an ambulance.
Took a month to sort out.
Piriformis links up with sciatica. Serious sciatica will stop you walking 4 hundred yards, sitting still for 10 minutes, driving more than 100 miles or even sleeping without pain.
I'd say don't run and go see a physio... I may be completely wrong, but that sounds familiar (if you are 28 it may be different to being 58).
PS I now send the physio a Christmas card.

Privacy,security,comfort, spotless interiors & outdoors, private tours, central a/c in all the villa & on call service 24/7.
My family, now numbering twenty, have vacationed, as a group for fourteen years. We've been to a variety of GREAT places across the country. Atlantic Oasis is certainly one of, if not the best. If only it had a dishwasher, it would be PERFECT. GREAT facilities, spectacular view and TERRIFIC management and staff. If you have a large party or a large family that LOVE the beach and LOVE water sports, Atlantic Oasis is IT!!
It is a great place to share with family and friends. very well kept and mantained. We all had a blast with friends and kids. The outdoor area with pool, bar an green area is superb!! Highly recommended.
I had my wedding here and family and friends came from all over the states. From Cali, Texas and jersey to celebrate with us. We booked the home from the 16th-20th. Over 20 guest stayed on the property and everyone loved the home. Javier which is one of the owners (Lupe- his wife is the other) worked with us on checking in a few hours early since I had to pick us family from the airport. I met both Javier and Lupe, they are very easy to talk to and helpful. They both met my parents and family, reassured us they are on call to make our stay comfortable. If you need a place for a whole family and friends, this is the place! I hated getting bit by sand fleas but it's part of the travel.
We had our wedding reception here and our ceremony on the beach on Oct 1st. Accommodated 110 guests. Communication was great during the rental agreement. Our family rented the entire Villa.
The place is very nicely maintained and immaculate. We didn't enjoy the beach as the waves are very strong. There's a beach near el Faro that's much better for swimming and for small children. It rained a lot during our stay and the "majes" were out like crazy. Lots of bites all over. They're worse than the mosquitoes.
We were surprised to know the washer and dryer are coined operated. The a/c was not as cold as we liked it to be in the upstairs unit even though we kept the doors closed at all times.
The place was fully equipped with everything you may need including beach towels and all kitchen cooking essentials.
Parking was very comfortable for the amount of cars we had (6).
Some issues...
The cleaning staff was on the property at 9am which was uncomfortable as we felt rushed. There was poor communication after our check out. Our deposit was returned and received almost a month later.
I was looking for the best location for our wedding and I found it in Atlantic Sand Oasis. We went to take a look at the place last year when the planning started and we instantly fell in love with the house and location. When we arrived there with my husband's and my family for our wedding weekend, they fell in love with it as well. They wished we would have booked for a longer stay. The pictures show how amazing it is, but in person it's a total different experience. The house was so clean and well maintained, it has everything you need for your stay. The parking was so convenient as well. Javier was amazing with the whole transaction, very responsive and helpful. I would totally recommend him and his vacation home to anyone! We loved the restaurant/bar across the street, the food, drinks and service was amazing!! Can't wait till our next P.R vacation!! We will be booking again at Atlantic Sand Oasis.
An advice I would like to give and hopefully I'm not overstepping is that a sign stating the name of the house would be very helpful as some of our guests got lost looking for it even with directions since sometimes GPS's cannot be trusted. We had to keep saying the big blue house or the house across the restaurant/bar.
Once you are in the house, it's as if you are in another world. Very relaxing. For the most part my family & I had a great time while on the property but there are quite a few things that left us somewhat dissatisfied. 1) We arrived promptly at 4pm to check in & still had to wait about 45 min before cleaning crew left. 2) There are no information binders anywhere to guide you with tiny details such as the gate operation, emergency numbers, A/C operations, TV operations, nearby restaurants that deliver... 3)There is no mention that 4 of the beds are actually bunk beds!! It worked out because we had kids in the group but if it had been all adults, that would have been another story. 4) The washer/dryer are coin operated!! I have never seen this in any other rental. 5) The solar lights on the 3rd floor terrace did not work. It was quite dark in the evenings. The only available illumination came from street lights below. 6) The hot tub was always on. There was no way of shutting it off, so it was unbearably hot. Only able to sit in it for a few minutes before you had no choice but to get out. 7) The door to one of the downstairs suite would not close unless locked by key. This became quite a nuisance when going in & out of the room. 8) Only 1 of the outside showers was fully functional. 9) Another 1 of the suites had broken a/c shutters. The airflow could not be directed, blowing the air directly at the bed. 10) None of the TVs were working for at least 2 days. 11) There was no mention of spiral staircases as a way of getting to 2nd & 3rd floor. The hand rails were held on by zip ties. That was a little disconcerting, as some of them had slipped off. 12) Check out is at 11am. On our last day, the cleaning crew showed up at 8am & just waited around for us to leave. It was a bit unconformable. We felt as if we were being rushed out! There were a few other things but these are the ones that stand out. These are all fixable things. But in all honesty for the amount of money being paid, they should not exist!

Jeremiah Wright - Charged With Beheading Girlfriend's Disabled Son, Motorist Found Boy's Head On Side Of The Road
Thibodaux, Louisiana (The Weekly Vice) - Jeremiah Lee Wright, a 30-year-old Louisiana man was jailed after he allegedly confessed to beheading his girlfriend's 7-year-old son before leaving his remains on the side of the road.
According to Thibodaux Police, officers were dispatched after a passing motorist saw the boy's head near the highway and called 911. Arriving officers recovered the boy's head and searched the area. The rest of the boy's remains were found nearby in a garbage bag.
Wright, who is the live-in boyfriend of the boy's mother, allegedly confessed to the murder and is said to be cooperative with police in their investigation.
The boy, identified as Jori Lirette, had cerebral palsy and was wheelchair bound, according to police.
Investigators say the alleged murder took place in the family's kitchen over the sink. The boy's mother was reportedly out attending to a car repair when the murder took place. Police have not yet released a motive in the killing, however friends of the family told investigators that there has been tension between the couple for several years.
Wright was booked into jail on a charge of first-degree murder. If convicted, he faces a mandatory sentence of life in prison and is eligible for the death penalty.

Missouri levee board of directors meets in Boonville (Updated Oct. 26 at 10:30 a.m.)
Repairing levees, loss of farmland and contacting legislators were among the subjects discussed on Tuesday, Oct. 25 at the Missouri Levee and Drainage District Association (MLDDA) Board of Director's meeting in Boonville.
Approximately 30 farmers, along with representatives from levee districts and federal and state agencies, gathered in a conference room at the Isle of Capri Casino. The meeting was a chance "to get everyone up to speed" on current issues regarding the Missouri River, according to MLDDA president Tom Waters.
The timing of the meeting was set before the first of the Army Corps of Engineers Annual Operating Plan meetings in the area. One was held Tuesday in St. Joseph, a second one was scheduled for Overland Park, Ks. for Wednesday and a third will be held Thursday, Oct. 27, at Capitol Plaza Hotel in Jefferson City. Each meeting includes an afternoon open house from 1-4 p.m. to meet with Corps officials one-on-one and an evening meeting at 7 p.m.
"Mostly today was just to update everybody about what is going on and do a little prep work, before these Annual Operating Plan meetings ," Waters said.
In attendance were representatives for Missouri Governor Jay Nixon, including some from the Attorney General and Department of Natural Resources offices. Representatives from Sen. Claire McCaskill and Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer's office also spoke to the group.
Because the 2011 flooding affected northern states more than ever before, Bill Bryan, a representative from Gov. Nixon's office reported governors from seven out of the eight basin states have agreed "flood control was the top priority for the Missouri river system."
"That was something we had never had before," he said, adding the only hold out state has been Montana. "I don't think we are going to have all eight states agree on this, but we have a very strong agreement, and commitment to work together from the other seven state governors."
At the second governor's meeting held on Oct. 17 in Nebraska, Bryan was there in person, while Nixon joined the discussion via telephone. In what Bryan called, "a one-time" offer, North Dakota suggested lowering one of their large basin lakes by 2.5 feet in order to provide more storage room for excess water. Bryan said the state is currently reviewing the proposal and asked those at the meeting for input.
In other reports, representatives from the governor's office said they are currently trying to meet with levee sponsors from across the state to "make sure" accurate assessments on damage is being done.
"The primary mission is to find out where the gap is between what the Corps will pay for or any other federal agency and where the levee districts are," said one representative from the governor's office, adding though, they couldn't make any promises about funding.
Among the issues, board members said they would bring up at the Corps' meetings were the need to restore levees to pre-2011 conditions; making flood control the highest priority in river management; analyzing the channels so navigation of the river is possible and getting rid of the "spring rise" permanently. Although it has been temporarily suspended for 2012, an independent science panel recently concluded the spring rise did not help in conserving the endangered pallid sturgeon.
Another topic of discussion during the meeting was the dike system, which was originally put in to channelize the river. However, according to farmers, "notches" made in the dikes and lack of maintenance by the Corps in recent years, has caused the protection to erode. With that, the water instead erodes river banks and eventually the levees themselves.
"If you don't manage the dikes, you don't have navigation. If you don't manage the dikes, you don't have bank stabilization. If you don't have bank stabilization, then it eats into the levees," said one farmer at the meeting. "Stay on point, all four are the same thing, we can't do one without the other."
One topic discussed by many in attendance was the need to contact legislators to change the way the Corps operates the Missouri River.
"Flood them with letters, flood them with phone calls," urged Holt County assessor Carla Markt, who handed out contact information of Corps members and legislators.
"We had a $110 million lost in corn and bean crop this year--that's a huge amount, just in the raw crop. That's not counting what you make out of it in the factory," she said, adding more than 2,500 items in grocery stores contain those crops. Holt County in northern Missouri was one of the state's counties hardest hit by the summer's flooding.
"Two things that seem to make the Corps move: lawsuits and congressional lawmaking," noted Waters, a farmer from Orrick, who has worked on river issues for over 20 years.
Other issues discussed at the meeting were:
--The lopsided spending from the Corps' on environmental issues, as opposed to flood control. Markt handed out a graph, prepared by a banker in Atchison County. According to those numbers, the Corps' spending for flood control has declined 98.8 percent from 2002-2012 to just $137,000. In the same time, spending on environmental issues has increased 562.6 percent to more than $72 million. Spending on navigation has declined 4.4 percent, according to the graph.
--Problems with funding for rebuilding levees to pre-2011 conditions, as opposed to lower heights, which the Corps currently recommends. According to Waters, Corps officials have claimed they don't have the money to fund rebuilding, but also have said they haven't asked legislators for funding either.
--Concerns that some Corps officials and environmentalists want the river to return to "pre-European" settlement conditions, i.e. "bank to bank;
--Letters sent out to landowners from government agencies offering to buy river bottom ground during the summer's flooding;
--Low-water habitats constructed by Corps to preserve the endangered pallid sturgeon, have washed out from this summer's flooding and are no longer "low water." This has apparently caused new problems for navigation from Blair, Neb. and south.
Board members also talked about the need for more farmers and landowners to take an active interest in the organization, especially for their annual meeting.
"It would be a lot better if we had 400 people sitting out there (for the annual meeting)," said Joe Gibbs, who has spent several years as the MLDDA Association representative on the Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee (MRRIC).
After discussion the MLDDA annual meeting was set for Feb. 11, 2012. Waters said he was currently working on getting speakers for the event.

Gov. Sanford Issues Statement on House's ESC Reform Bill
Gov. Mark Sanford today issued the following statement on H.3442, a bill that would bring accountability to the state Employment Security Commission by making it a Cabinet agency reporting directly to the governor:
"It's been clear over the course of recent events that the Employment Security Commission is out of control and unaccountable to the people it serves," Gov. Sanford said. "Time and time again in state government, we've seen that when everyone is in charge, no one is in charge - and to that end we'd give real credit to Speaker Harrell and Rep. Bingham for moving so quickly to introduce this bill. Our understanding is that the Senate is working toward a similar bill, which we hope ultimately means that we'll have a bill on our desk making the ESC a Cabinet agency sooner rather than later."

Civil War Termination
Caroline A. Hartzell
Civil wars typically have been terminated by a variety of means, including military victories, negotiated settlements and ceasefires, and "draws." Three very different historical trends in the means by which civil wars have ended can be identified for the post–World War II period. A number of explanations have been developed to account for those trends, some of which focus on international factors and others on national or actor-level variables. Efforts to explain why civil wars end as they do are considered important because one of the most contested issues among political scientists who study civil wars is how "best" to end a civil war if the goal is to achieve a stable peace. Several factors have contributed to this debate, among them conflicting results produced by various studies on this topic as well as different understandings of the concepts war termination, civil war resolution, peace-building, and stable peace.
Conflict Management of Territorial and Maritime Disputes
Krista E. Wiegand
This is an advance summary of a forthcoming article in the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Politics. Please check back later for the full article.
Of all the issues disputed by states, territorial and maritime disputes are by far the most conflictual and burdensome for the states involved, and they often affect regional and international security. In many cases, such disputes can also be very costly, not only in terms of military defense or threats of force to take the disputed territory or maritime area, but also in lost revenue, lost trade between the disputing states, and the costs of rivalry that often results from such disputes. The resolution of most territorial and maritime disputes yields significant benefits for the adversarial states, including the reduction of future armed conflict, rivalry termination, and increased economic gains. Yet these disputes are often difficult to resolve, leading to years or decades of stalemate and sometime armed conflict. Often, states are resistant to attempts at resolution because they can take advantage of the disputes as bargaining leverage, linked with other disputed issues, leaving little incentive to attempt resolution. In these cases, peaceful resolution of the disputes is less likely, and the threat of militarized conflict continues for the disputing states.
When there are attempts at peaceful resolution by the states involved in territorial and maritime disputes, leaders and governments have several options. The most common, yet most ineffective means of peaceful resolution attempts is bilateral negotiations between the adversarial states. Though the least costly and most direct means of resolution, bilateral negotiations often involve multiple stages and only sometimes lead to resolution. This is due mainly to the challenge of dividing intangible values of the disputed areas, especially if they hold significant nationalist or symbolic value, or of high-level tangible resources such as oil, of which states are unwilling to let go. Mediation by non-binding third parties can be a strategy states use to resolve disputes. The most effective strategies, in terms of compliance, but also the most costly are arbitration and adjudication, which are legally binding resolution methods. Not only do states make a choice about whether to attempt peaceful resolution of their disputes, but they also need to consider which forum would be the most effective. Several factors influence the strategic selection of peaceful resolution methods, and there are different outcomes depending on the resolution strategy attempted. Overall, the peaceful resolution of territorial and maritime disputes is an important but complicated issue for states both directly involved and indirectly affected by the persistence of such disputes.
Gender Inequality and Internal Conflict
Erika Forsberg and Louise Olsson
Prior research has found robust support for a relationship between gender inequality and civil war. These results all point in the same direction; countries that display lower levels of gender equality are more likely to become involved in civil conflict, and violence is likely to be even more severe, than in countries where women have a higher status. But what does gender inequality mean in this area of research? And how does research explain why we see this effect on civil war? To explore this, we start with reviewing existing definitions and measurements of gender inequality, noting that the concept has several dimensions. We then proceed to outline several clusters of explanations of how gender inequality could be related to civil war while more equal societies are better able to prevent violent conflict, as described in previous research. It is clear that existing misconceptions that gender inequality primarily involves the role of women are clouding the fact that it clearly speaks to much broader societal developments which play central roles in civil war. We conclude by identifying some remaining lacunas and directions for future research.
Pro-Government Militias and Conflict
Sabine C. Carey and Neil J. Mitchell
Pro-government militias are a prominent feature of civil wars. Governments in Colombia, Syria, and Sudan recruit irregular forces in their armed struggle against insurgents. The United States collaborated with Awakening groups to counter the insurgency in Iraq, just as colonizers used local armed groups to fight rebellions in their colonies. An emerging cross-disciplinary literature on pro-government non-state armed groups generates a variety of research questions for scholars interested in conflict, political violence, and political stability: Does the presence of such groups indicate a new type of conflict? What are the dynamics that drive governments to align with informal armed groups and that make armed groups choose to side with the government? Given the risks entailed in surrendering a monopoly of violence, is there a turning point in a conflict when governments enlist these groups? How successful are these groups? Why do governments use these non-state armed actors to shape foreign conflicts whether as insurgents or counterinsurgents abroad? Are these non-state armed actors always useful to governments or perhaps even an indicator for state failure?
We examine the demand for and supply of pro-government armed groups and the legacies that shape their role in civil wars. The enduring pattern of collaboration between governments and these armed non-state actors challenges conventional theory and the idea of an evolutionary process of the modern state consolidating the means of violence. Research on these groups and their consequences began with case studies, and these continue to yield valuable insights. More recently, survey work and cross-national quantitative research contribute to our knowledge. This mix of methods is opening new lines of inquiry for research on insurgencies and the delivery of the core public good of effective security.

Activision set to go independent
The world's biggest video games company is going independent, after Vivendi said it is selling most of its stake in Activision Blizzard for £5.3bn. Activision – whose titles include the Call of Duty series and World of Warcraft – and a management group headed up by long-term boss Bobby Kotick are buying 85 per cent of the stake.
United surviving economic drought
The tough economic climate saw reduced thirst for water from the commercial sector, water firm United Utilities said. That has hit demand, but a regulated price increase meant revenues have still risen since April, to hit expectations. The utility did not mention a hosepipe ban, with the wet winter keeping reservoirs fairly full.
Anglo American plans cutbacks
Anglo American's new boss, Mark Cutifani, has unveiled a dramatic plan to slash costs, send expensive projects back to the drawing board and overhaul management at the troubled iron ore-to-diamonds miner. Half-yearly profits were shy of $3.3bn, 15 per cent down on the first six months of last year.
Wincanton battles tough markets
The trucking firm Wincanton said a flurry of deals with companies including supermarket Morrisons and drinks group Pernod Ricard are helping it battle tough markets. The logistics group said it is trading in line with expectations despite customers cutting costs.
TV wars will hit BSkyB's profits
BSkyB has warned operating profits will take a hit of up to £70m next year as it invests in new on-demand services and technology in the pay-TV and broadband wars with rivals from BT to Netflix. Annual profits rose 9 per cent to £1.3bn.
Egypt turmoil a concern for BG
BG Group, the oil and gas explorer that was once part of British Gas, has flagged up concerns about Egypt's military coup as it reported a 3 per cent decline in quarterly profits to £643m. President Mohamed Morsi was ousted this month, and BG is owed $1.3bn by Egypt, where it carried out about a fifth of its production.
Pearson to sell Merger Market
The Financial Times' owner Pearson put its Merger Market business up for sale yesterday, saying it did not fit the group's focus on education and learning, but reiterated it will not sell the flagship newspaper. Merger Market provides forward-looking intelligence on merger and acquisition activity and has annual sales of £100m.
Unilever looks to change auditor
The consumer goods giant Unilever is putting its audit out for tender days after the Competition Commission announced new rules to try to limit the powers of the Big Four auditors. PricewaterhouseCoopers has audited Unilever across more than 100 countries for 26 years and is not expected to re-tender.
Complaints down at HomeServe
The emergency plumber HomeServe said customer complaints between April and June dropped 39 per cent year on year as an inquiry by a City regulator continues. The group, which insures against home emergencies,said trading is in line with expectations.
Investors and staff plan to sue Hibu
About 300 small investors and staff in Hibu are threatening to sue the collapsed Yellow Pages publisher. The shareholder group are questioning the board decision not to pay its lenders £74m in February when it had £211m cash.Reuse content

Log Of Dreams
Self Explanitory. Imma right down mah dreams! Most of them, anyway XD
Day 1:
16 May, 2011.
I can barely remember my dream last night.
Me and my friends were on a ship leading to America, however, it got shipwrecked and we ended up on the coast of Scotland somewhere. We walked around for a bit, saw some otters, and decided to try and find our way home. We failed, but we found out one of my friends had a mobile. He was about to ring the poilce, but he didnt have to because all of a sudden my dad had arrived to take us all home. Wow, wierd dream.
I might not add certain dreams because there to personal, or I just do not wish to share them. If I do not wish to share them, please don't bug me about sharing them. Thanks.

1.4 meter tall build height, 300x410mm build plate cartesian
The original plan was to build a 3d printer with a 1200x1200 build platform with a 600mm build height. I was having issues getting ahold of a large enough borosilicate glass plate for the build so I decided to go for build height. I plan on using a smoothieboard for the controller. The build has currently slowed down. I was removing a broken drillbit from the linear rail mount, and it shattered and took out my eye. I am doing what I can when I can focus my eyes long enough for the build.

Old Faithful...FDM/CNC machine
I've owned some pretty unreliable printers, and I'll leave it at that... This design comes from the need to have a 3D printer that is reliable, period. I didn't have the money for a several thousand dollar 3d printer with an equivalent build area so that was out of the question. Plus as a fledgling Engineer, I really wanted to blood myself on a project. And that's how Old Faithful came to be. A simple, reliable, rigid, durable machine. Made by me :) Also, it'll be tough enough for light CNC.
