Arthur Levitt Takes on the Street'
September 23, 2002
Auditors auditing themselves. Fund boards voting themselves pay raises even as assets decline. Directors acting not just as executives' lapdogs, but like "Chihuahuas." Com-plexes permitting recent alumni to meet independent directors requirements. Soft dollars. Portfolio pumping.
Arthur Levitt, former chairman of the Securities and Exchange Commission and of the American Stock Exchange, socks it to the mutual fund, accounting, investment banking and brokerage industries in Take on the Street, his new book set to come out next month (Pantheon).
The one-time publisher of Roll Call, now a television personality on Bloomberg TV and a director on a number of boards, including Neuberger Berman's, Levitt seems to relish in delivering zingers.
In person at his New York office at leveraged buyout firm The Carlyle Group, where he serves as senior adviser, however, Levitt delivers his opinions in a more quiet, reserved, almost reticent manner.
Levitt sat down with Richard Koreto, executive editor of Financial Planning, Tony Chapelle, senior editor of On Wall Street, and Lee Barney, editor of Mutual Fund Market News, on Sept. 11, after attending morning ceremonies at the World Trade Center, to talk about the state of the industry. Following are his remarks, interspersed with a few excerpts from his book.
What was your personal reaction to Enron, which, as you note in your book, robbed investors of $60 billion?
During my years at the SEC, I saw broad evidence of financial fraud among some of the most prominent companies in America. Every one of the Big Five accounting firms had fraudulent activity of one kind or another. Arthur Andersen was just caught more open-handedly.
I was saddened by the Enron affair because so many innocent people were caught up in it, not just investors, but employees who really believed in the hype and the promotion.
I never imagined a failure on the scale of Enron. The Enron/Andersen audit failure is a perfect example of what I was trying to prevent.
So, I'd use one word to characterize my reaction: Saddened.
If you were still chairman of the SEC, what would you do differently than your successor, Harvey Pitt, particularly to help brokers, say, in the next six months?
I certainly would focus on analysts, just as he's beginning to focus on analysts. And I would focus on governance issues, probably more than I did.
I don't think it's the job of the SEC to determine how brokers are compensated. Nevertheless, without regulating compensation, I'd probably be talking a lot about what can be done in the brokerage industry.
Brokers are vital in the lives of the people they serve in the same way that doctors or lawyers might be.
Do you believe that investors should only go to fee-only advisers?
Yes. The perception of conflict is so great in this environment, where investor confidence must be restored, a commission structure based on volume rather than quality of results just doesn't feel right.
Some of the best brokers I know have reoriented their businesses so that they're based on fees rather than commissions. I hope that brokers understand that by promoting investor interests, I'm really promoting their interests, as well.
What is the key point that you would like readers of Take on the Street to take away, particularly the professional audiences we reach?
I hope that they recognize that their future, their economic livelihood, depends upon public perception.
As far as brokers are concerned, I've been a broker, and I've run a brokerage firm. I have huge respect for brokers.
All of us, I have, made lots of mistakes. In my book, I point out that when I was a broker, I looked at my pad in the morning and said, "I've got to generate $200 to $300 in gross." And I found a way to do that. That wasn't good for my clients, and I recognize that.
The motivations induced by their managers and the companies for whom they work are skewed in the wrong direction; they're skewed by quantitative-based compensation. And I think that's wrong.
Brokers have got to reorient themselves as counselors and advisers, to do what is in the best interest of the customer.
As a former broker yourself, at a brokerage firm that, quite impressively, included Sandy Weill, the current chairman of Citigroup, how would you characterize the profession?
Brokers are individual entrepreneurs - creative, independent, feisty, intelligent risk-takers.
What's your biggest regret from your tenure at the SEC?
After noticing overly aggressive accounting practices by companies, with the approval of their auditors, to meet their earnings forecasts, I considered accounting standards, including expensing options. I also noticed how consulting contracts were turning accounting firms into extensions of management, even cheerleaders at times.

Millipede Part 7
by MillipedeThis is not to say that my years embracing Patriarchy were all bad. Despite many bad changes and warning signs, there were moments of joy. Staying at home was fun. I promised myself to stay busy so as it was all too tempting to sit around. I made myself a "work" schedule complete with breaks and of course, an end to the workday. I would spend time keeping house, but also do a lot of fun projects. I gardened, made Maple syrup and a myriad of other activities which I truly loved. Although I missed work, I found that a housewife could be just as much of a worker. In fact there are legitimate issues concerning the need for someone to stay at home. Unfortunately, the Patriarchy … [Read more...]
by Bruce GerencserNine years have passed since I preached my last sermon, since my wife was called the "pastor's wife." Almost four years have passed since my wife and I determined to stop attending church. We are now among the "unchurched", casualties of a life spent in Evangelical Christianity. Worse yet, at least according to our critics, we are now enemies of Christ and his church.You see, we not only left the Church, we left Jesus. Regardless of how some Christians parse our lives through their peculiar theological system, we are indeed two people who once were devoted, committed followers of Jesus, who are now described as an atheist husband and his agnostic wife. … [Read more...]

Snipped! Part 5 Theoretical Visitation
by Incongruous CircumspectionFor those of my readers keeping track, you might remember that I have six siblings. Seven kids and one father with visitation rights. My mother had won full custody and my father was given every other weekend with his kids and four weeks in the summer. Again, there were seven of us. This meant that he had to split us up in sets of two and three so we could fit into his apartment. Thus, I ended up going with him about every six weeks – in theory.My mother played every game in the book to keep us away from our dad. He would call Friday night to tell her who he wanted to pick up the next morning and she would go through a long laundry list of excuses a … [Read more...]

William Christenberry began taking pictures on a humble box Brownie camera in the 1950s while studying art at college in his native Alabama. Having no real interest in the history of the medium, he used colour film at a time when serious photography was synonymous with black and white and processed his rolls of film at the local drugstore. In many ways, he was an accidental photographer, but he has since become an incredibly influential one.
More than 50 years on, Christenberry is now recognised as, among other things, a pivotal figure in the history of 20th-century American photography. His photographs of the vernacular buildings of the American south – wooden churches, shacks, houses, storefronts – were not just influenced by the work of Walker Evans but actually depicted many of the places Evans had photographed in the 1930s for his groundbreaking book with the writer, James Agee, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. When Christenberry showed his photographs to his friend and fellow southerner William Eggleston in the late 60s, it alerted Eggleston, then still shooting on black and white, to the power and possibility of colour, which he went on to explore in dramatic fashion. If Eggleston is the great maverick of American colour, Christenberry is its quiet man, his images understated but cumulatively powerful in their suggestion of a world that, even as it is fading into history, is loaded with memories and meaning.
In 2008, Steidl published the fascinating William Christenberry: Working From Memory, in which the artist recounted the stories behind many of his images. The first chapter of this new catalogue, which was published to accompany a recent retrospective of Christenberry's work at the Mapfre Institute in Madrid, is called "William Christenberry: Not Photographs But Stories". It shows, once again, Christenberry's personal investment in image as memory. Culled from a personal archive of more than 4,000 images, the book creates a poetic visual narrative of a disappearing American south mainly through his fascination with the churches and houses of Alabama, many of which were weatherbeaten and neglected when he photographed them and are now gone.
There are inevitable echoes of the work of Walker Evans in the faded storefronts and advertising hoardings, but, by the mid- to late 60s, Christenberry's colours and compositions have become bolder, more formalist. There is a strikingly geometric portrait of the campaign headquarters of the segregationist governor of Alabama, George Wallace, from 1966 as well as a few landscapes from 1981 that suggest Christenberry had also learned a thing or two from Eggleston along the way. The book also contains examples of the scale models Christenberry built of some of the churches he photographed as well as images illustrating his long-term conceptual project, the Klan Room, a disturbingly powerful installation made up of images, objects, interiors and ominous doll-like figures.
Christenberry is an artist who has followed his own instincts and obsessions, and his intimate photographs, though they contain no human figures, are reminders of mortality and arbiters of memory. Or as he puts it himself: "I think that oftentimes art can make an outsider look back on something he has never been part of, and make him feel like he has always been part of it."

Personal life[edit]
Del Valle was born in Marseille, France, on September 6, 1968[1] to Pieds-Noirs parents. His father was a Sicilian who settled first in Tunisia and later in Marseille (South of France). His mother came from an anti-Franquist (Spaniard) family partly settled in Oran, Algeria and after in Marseille.[3] In 2001, Del Valle married a Jewish-Argentine woman, Monica Altmann. The name Alexandre Del Valle is reportedly a pseudonym he uses for safety reasons because he has been a civil servant before writing and because of the controversial nature of his books and broadcasts.
Del Valle attended the Paris Institute of Political Studies and obtained a diploma at the Institute of Political Studies of Aix-en-Provence. He specialized in international relations and the geopolitics of the Arab-Muslim world.[3]
He also received a Diplôme d'études approfondies (DEA) on Military History-security-defense at the Institut d'études politiques d'Aix-en-Provence (Institute of Political Studies), a Diplôme d'études approfondies of European History of doctrines and political institutions at the Università degli Studi di Milano with Professor Albertoni around 1994.
Alexandre del Valle has studied the political life of Lebanon and the legal status of Jewish and Christian minorities in Muslims states at the Université Saint-Esprit de Kaslik, Beyrouth. Del Valle has also studied geopolitics and the Islamic world with Yves Lacoste, Pierre-Marie Gallois, Bruno Étienne, Gilles Kepel.
Columnist career[edit]
He is a regular columnist at Atlantico and Politique Internationale, and before that at Le Figaro, France Soir, Israel Magazine, La Une, Risk, Europa dei Popoli, Il Liberal, Il Borghese del Nord, and others. He publishes articles in geopolitical magazines and reviews such as Daedalos Papers, Nova Storica, Herodote, Outre Terre, Geostrategics, Geopolitical affairs, Stratégiques, Géoéconomie, and others.
Academic career[edit]
He is the co-founder and member of the Scientific Council of Geopolitics of Daedalos Institute,[4] based in Nicosia, Cyprus. He is a lecturer at The University of Metz and Sup de Co La Rochelle and has been teaching at the University of Rome (Università europea di Roma).
Since 2004, in the framework of Daedalos Institute, Alexandre del Valle is studying the growth of political Islam in Turkey and its application to join the European Union.
Del Valle claims to work with moderate Muslims such as Mezri Haddad, Houchang Nahavandi, Jbil Kebir or Mohamed Sifaoui, who publicly supported him and explained that Alexandre del Valle was a supporter of a modern and secular Islam and only denounced radical Islam just as many Muslims do.[5]
Political career[edit]
Together with Rachid Kaci, Del Valle co-founded "The Free Right" (French: La Droite libre), a liberal-conservative faction within the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP).[6] Their slogan is "Secularity, defense of the West and Freedom, and struggle against political correctness."[6] Before joining the UMP, Del Valle was a member of the Rally for the Republic (French: Rassemblement pour la République), a French right-wing political party.
Notable arguments[edit]
Del Valle describes what he calls the new Western and European Munich in the face of Islamist fascism. Like Bat Ye'or, he also analyzes the dhimmitude which has gradually been befalling the declining "psychologically as well as demographically" countries of Europe which seem to be sinking into a condition which Ye'or has described as "Eurabia."
Islamist Totalitarianism[edit]
Following the September 11 attacks, del Valle published an essay entitled, "Islamist Totalitarianism: Democracies Under Attack."[7] In this essay, Del Valle asserted that radical Islam was not merely a fundamentalist ideology, but a totalitarian one. He argued that radical Islam is an imperialist doctrine more comparable to Stalinism or Nazism than to other fundamentalist religions such as Judaism, Christianity, or Buddhism as "no other religious fundamentalism is as much universally criminal, globally barbaric, aggressively proselytizing, fundamentally theocratic as is Islamism."
Del Valle contended that Islamic totalitarianism is partly based on the "dominant orthodox Sunni Islam" that has been frozen since the 10th century. After that, this original orthodox Salafi Islamism transformed itself into a "totalitarianism" after the collapse of the Ottoman Empire and the decolonisation of Arab-Muslim countries, between 1850 and 1920 eas, when the Islamist totalitarianism offered to solve all the evils in the Muslim countries by establishing the Shariah and by settling a score with the Western "Imperialist" – "infidel -Judeo-Crusaders" as well as liberal Muslims, "the primary victims" of Radical Islamism.
According to Del Valle, this Islamic fascism is the ideology of Total Hatred of the Other (the classical paranoid theory of scapegoating), hence the Islamists' rehabilitation of the texts such as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion or Mein Kampf. And according to the author, this "Third Islamist Totalitarianism", contrary to Nazism or Stalinism, is the first one which does not come from the "white Judeo-Christians", the first "exotic totalitarianism" which origins in the South, even if its primary victims are none other but Muslims themselves and non-Muslim minorities living under Sharià. That's why it speaks in the name of "Victims", of the "Oppressed" living in the poor Third World, and of the "humiliated ones" in the Arab world (humiliated by Jews, Crusaders, and "Apostates". But its ultimate goal is nothing else but the New Final Solution of the Secular and democratic West and the Free World. It's why main Arab-Islamic leaders never were ashamed to make alliance with Nazis and fascists, from the 1920–30 era (Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, etc.).
After the "red totalitarianism", founded on the notion of the Struggle of Classes; the "Brown totalitarianism", founded on the notions of the Struggle of Races; there comes the "Green Totalitarianism", founded on the notion of the Struggle of Religions and Civilizations...
Red-Green-Brown Alliance[edit]
Del Valle describes the emergence of a Red-Green-Brown Axis: the Red of the extreme left, the Brown of the extreme right, and the Green of islamism.[8] The different components of this Axis have for a common objective the struggle against the new faces of Evil: America, Israel, Imperialism, and even the West in its entirety.
According to his theories, islamism, the third totalitarianism after nazism and communism, extends the aspirations of its two predecessors: seizing the struggle of civilizations and religions then declaring war on the non-Muslim world in the name of the "dispossessed". This totalitarianism seduces as much those nostalgics for the pagan Third Reich, resolved to eradicate Judaism and Christianity, as it does those partisans of communism, determined to come to blows with capitalism and the West.
This junction of "red", "brown", and "green" totalitarianisms around the cause of Palestinian martyrs, Iraqis and Afghans, as much as the revolutionary figure of Osama bin Laden, confirms the leadership, henceforth uncontested, of revolutionary islamism. From now on, this exerts a real fascination upon the other totalitarian options defeated by history (nazism and communism) and, consequently, condemned either to reconstitute themselves or to join the islamist revolution in order to pursue their struggle against liberal democracies. According to Alexandre Del Valle, this alliance between the New Third World (Hugo Chavez's anti-American regime and its Bolivian and Cuban allies), the islamists and the Rogue States such as Iran, Syria, North Korea, Sudan and pro-Palestinian terrorists movements will be in the future the main danger for both North America and Europe.
Pan-West: the new paradigm[edit]
Alexandre Del Valle has advocated for the creation of a new "pan-Western"[9] organization which would gather more strongly the USA and old Europe. He believes America and Europe should convince Russia to join its alliance instead of supporting anti-Western coalitions led by China, Iran and Venezuela. In 2000, after the Kosovo war, Del Valle wrote that it is necessary for the West to criticize Washington and European mistakes when USA and EU supported the kingdom of Saudi Arabia and continue to do so. He also deplored the anti-Russian and anti-Serbian attitudes that agitated the Cold War period and incited Moscow to join the anti-western Axis. Back then, he condemns those expressing anti-American feelings in Europe, Latin America and Russia. He suggests the promotion of a strategic alliance between the three western keystone states: the USA, Orthodox Europe and Western Europe should build a stronger alliance in the face of Islamic threat.
Post-Kemalist Turkey[edit]
Del Valle opposes the accession of Turkey to the European Union.[10] In his opinion, Turkey is neither European culturally nor geographically (except for Istanbul and Thrace). Even if a small Kemalist minority or the inhabitants of the posh suburbs of Istanbul feel European, the inhabitants of east Istanbul, Ankara or Anatolia feel closer to their Iraqi neighbors than to Europeans or Christian Greeks. Del Valle believes that NATO, which Turkey belongs to, is not the key for the entry into the European Union. Saying that it is necessary to integrate Turkey so as to show that Europe is not a Christian club and does not reject an Islamic candidate is not rational. And seeing Turkey as a secular exception and natural ally against Islamism thanks to the legacy of Kemal Atatürk is erroneous. Because the new post-Kemalist Turkey, led by Erdoğan and Islamic ruling party AKP, allows and claims back all that which was rejected by Atatürk: the hijab, the Islamic political parties and compulsory religious instruction at school.[11]
Del Valle says that Kemalism was dismantled in the 1950s and 60s with the governments of Adnan Menderes and Süleyman Demirel and became politically dead under Turgut Özal, the architect of the re-Islamization which abolished the article 163 that had prohibited the Islamic parties. A country like Turkey which is ruled by a party stemming from an Islamic movement which has been attaining victory in elections since the beginning of the 90s is not any more a secular and kemalist country. But it is what he calls a "post-Kemalist" state.
The main theory of Del Valle is that Europe and the US have become the main allies who are capable of dismantling the militarist-Kemalist power in Turkey in the name of western democracy. The first goal of AKP is to avenge, after having perfected the de-Kemalization of the country, the affront suffered in 1923 at the time of the abolition of the Caliphate and the Sharia. If Turkey would access the European Union, Europe would have for its immediate neighbors Iran of the Mullahs, Syria – both sponsors of Hezbollah – and Iraq.
Finally, he advocates that the best way to preserve the Kemalist exception and secularism in Turkey would keep Turkey outside Europe and to build what President Nicolas Sarkozy calls a special partnership.
In his essay "The new christianophobia, Why Have Christians Around the World Become Murder Targets?",[12] Alexandre Del Valle explains the Christianity is today the religion most systematically and violently persecuted around the world. The specific nature of the new global Christianophobia consists mainly in its impunity and the silence that surrounds it. Indeed, a new litany of hateful atrocities is stirring up fanaticism in many nations against Christianity, the religion of the hated "westerner white man", in the name of a desire for revenge and the "right" of colonized peoples "humiliated" by the West to be "different." This new teaching of contempt, which amalgamates Christians from all backgrounds with the western "executioner," is impervious to any blame. Totally uninhibited, driven by the global wave of anti-western sentiment and often exotically presented as anti-imperialism, it is the source of countless acts of violence against Christians, killed just because they are Christians, according to Alexandre del Valle (this book will be soon published in the USA and in Brasil).
Western guilt and Syrian chaos[edit]
In "Le Complexe occidental" (see bibliography infra), del Valle explains the complexity of the Syrian conflict and describes the origins of the Islamic State (ISIS). He proposes new and pragmatic proposals to find peace solutions in the Middle East and to fight against the islamic totalitarianism that plans to organise a "cultural and religious genocide" of Christians and other non-sunni minorities in the Muslim world. Alexandre del Valle describes the genesis of ISIS and proposes new solutions based on pragmatism and political dialogue to bring peace in Syria and fight efficiently against the islamic totalitarianism and protect the Christian and other non-sunni minorities victims of a "cultural genocide". Del Valle says that the most dangerous threat for the West is not China, Radical Islam or the anti-West Third World or emerging countries, but the "feeling guilty of the "judeo-christian white man".
Del Valle's first book, Islamism and the United States: An Alliance against Europe,[13] sparked controversy in France and in the United States. In the book, Del Valle claimed the U.S. government was deliberately using Islam to destroy Europe.[13] This theory was criticized by Bat Ye'or in the Middle East Quarterly published in September 1998.[13] Although Ye'or reproached Del Valle for his hostility to the Clinton administration, she congratulated him for his attempt to "courageously expose the dangers of Islamism."[13]
In another article published in the Middle East Quarterly in Spring 2000,[14] French-American geopolitician Laurent Murawiec characterized Del Valle as hostile to Muslims and criticized his analysis of the United States' pro-Muslim strategy during the Cold War. In his response to Murawiec,[15] Del Valle wrote that "history and the tragedy of September 11 have proven me right." He claimed that Murawiec omitted to mention that his later books, such as Le Totalitarisme Islamiste a l'assaut des démocraties, have been labeled as both "pro-American and pro-Zionist."[16] Additionally, since the September 11 attacks in 2001, Del Valle has written articles published in Le Figaro and Politique Internationale where he calls for a union to be formed with the United States and in which he denounces all forms of anti-Western and anti-American feelings. Murawiec himself has written an essay which also deplores the present pro-Saudi and pro-Islamist strategy and politically correctness of American presidents who never dared nominating Saudi Arabia and Wahhabism as the real enemy and the supporters of radical Islam.[17]
In 2002, Del Valle was criticized by far-right, left-wing[18] and extreme-left magazines such as Le Monde Diplomatique'"[19] and the pro-Palestinian and anti-Zionist MRAP.[20] Some extreme-right movements, believing that Alexandre del Valle had been close to their visions in his early writings on Islamism and America, denounce now his Zionism and the fact he was very close to the Jewish community.[21] or The "outing" of Alexandre del Valle, reveals its close links with the Zionist ultra-right.[22]
In an article published in April 2002,[23] French far-left-trotskyst organisation Ras l'front claims that Alexandre Del Valle had originally set out its arguments in far right-wing circles, especially during lectures at meetings of the ultra right or the New Right. Del Valle refutes the claims and bring the matter in courts.[24] These trials with peripeteias eventually resulted in a decision from the 11th Chamber of the Court of appeal of Paris in 2005, which dismissed Del Valle who carried out an action for defamation against Ras L'front (diffamation).[25][26]
In two other trials, Alexandre del Valle and his lawyer, Gilles-William Goldnadel, the French President of "Droit à la Sécurité" and "France Israël association" (who also was Oriana Fallaci's lawyer in France), won two other cases : one in 2006 against the MRAP, an anti-racist organization led by French communist Mouloud Aounit, and a second against Canal+ (TV Channel), in 2007 (17th court of Paris).[27] The 17th court of Paris dismissed the MRAP, who had published in 2003[28] a special report on anti-Arabs, Zionists and Far right networks in France. This MRAP Report blamed Alexandre del Valle and other intellectuals such as Guy Millière, Michel Darmon (former France-Israel's President) or William Goldnadel to be Islamophobes and to support Zionist organizations such as the UPJF (Union of French Jewish Chairmans), Likoud, KKL, or Bnai Brith. The 17th Court of Appeal decided that the MRAP did not have the right to accuse Alexandre del Valle to be "islamophobe" and was dismissed after having tried to make Del Valle and Guy Millière condemned for abusive action for defamation.[27]
Del Valle does not deny that he made errors in the past making speeches with controversial intellectuals from every political creed in the context of the presentations of his books. But he precises that his political "godfathers" were gaullists and former popular "resistants" such as Alain Griotteray, Pierre Marie Gallois, the former nuclear and geopolitical adviser of Charles De Gaulle, Gabriel Kaspereit and Jean Matteoli.[29]

Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, TX
PURPOSE: Over 90% of smokers begin smoking before the age of 18. Antismoking programs in schools play a major role in preventing smoking habits in students. Studies have shown that anti-smoking instructions as part of the curriculum is effective in preventing initiation of smoking among children. In 1988 National School Boards Association issued a report outlining the implementation steps and guidelines concerning nonsmoking policies and antismoking school programs. We conducted this survey to obtain baseline knowledge in early grade school children about the ill effects of smoking prior to implementation of antismoking educational program.
METHODS: A 10 point questionnaire (Yes/No answers) was administered to the children of 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades in Corpus Christie, Texas. A total of 4161 children completed the survey.
RESULTS: The overall baseline knowledge of all grades about the ill effects of smoking, its addictive nature, the effects of passive smoking and smoking prevention programs was good. The correct responses for all grades ranged from 81% to 97%. There was a statistically significant higher knowledge level among the 3rd graders compared to 1st and 2nd graders.
CONCLUSION: The overall knowledge level was good but there is room for improvement in the first and second grades. Antismoking classes must be initiated early, preferably in the first grade. Obtaining baseline knowledge is important to assess the effectiveness of antismoking programs. Following this survey antismoking message was delivered to these children through a cartoon movie and comic book involving lovable ants depicting the ill effects of smoking. A repeat survey following this educational program is underway.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS: Smoking among students is a major public health problem. Antismoking education programs must be part of a comprehensive school health curriculum and they should emphasize on social and health consequences of smoking and reflect the needs of the community. Training students in refusal skills, involving parents, teachers and peers in smoking-prevention activities will discourage children from ever starting to smoke and reinforce the knowledge about the health hazards of smoking.

Recently, I've begun getting in touch with my inner geek and have started making YouTube videos about the things I geek out over. It's been great fun and now I have my own channel!
One of the things that delights my geeky self are online gift-exchanges. 😀 Redditgifts.com has dozens each year for different themes, and this past month I signed up for two – yarn (which I did not make a video about, sorry! :D) and SNACKS!!!
This time, both my own Santa and the person I was Santa for, were Canadian! Yay! (Btw, if you sign up for an exchange and agree to accept international partners (it's optional), beware of shipping costs! Shipping can be so pricey that it'll be more expensive than the gift you're sending!)
So here's the unboxing vid I made of the Canadian snacks my Santa sent me, including some snacks, like Smarties and Wine Gummies, I'd only heard of on BBC shows!
At the end of the video, there's a giveaway for a Star Trek Chibi 3-pack blind bag that is open to folks in the USA/CAN that ends on 4/28, so please enter and good luck!
The Prize!

Nora Murphy, described by friends as "so fragile you could blow her over", was assaulted as she made her way from her local supermarket in Notting Hill to a nearby Catholic church.
She is believed to have put up a brief struggle, but stood no chance against the two women who hit her on the head and arms then pushed her to the ground as they grabbed her handbag containing £50 pension money.
Police said passers-by ran to the pensioner's aid and managed to hold on to one of the alleged attackers until officers arrived. They are particularly keen to speak to a 6ft 6ins black man who chased and held one of the suspects, but left the scene before officers arrived.
A 39-year-old woman was arrested and taken to Paddington police station. The second woman managed to escape and is still being hunted by police. She was described as white, in her early 30s, with dark hair and wearing a short skirt.
One witness who arrived at the scene moments after the attack said: "It was horrifying. This poor old lady was lying on the floor, completely knocked out. She looked badly hurt, with blood pouring from her head and face."
The attack took place on the corner of Leamington Road Villas and Westbourne Park Road, an area plagued by street crime as a result of crack dealing and prostitution, according to local residents.
One said: "The prostitutes have been around here for years, you can see them day and night on every street corner along Westbourne Park Road. Usually they just fight between themselves - over drugs, money and punters - but this time they picked on a helpless old woman. It's sickening."
Miss Murphy, who sustained serious injuries to her head, back and arms in the attack, is said to be in serious but stable condition.
Today, her best friend Vee Margolis, 71, who has lived next door but one for the last 15 years, said the attack came only a few months after the pensioner fought off two men who conned their way into her house.
She told the Standard: "Nora realised what was going on. She picked up a big vase, threatening to throw it at them if they didn't get out, and they ran off without stealing anything."
She said Miss Murphy called her from hospital to tell her of the attack, which took place on Wednesday at about 3.30pm. "She has been ill recently and in hospital for two operations so she has been much frailer than usual. Why would anyone do this kind of thing to such an old lady?"
Miss Murphy never married and has no children, her neighbour said. Her closest relative, a niece in south Wales, has been informed about the attack.

Fw: [Ancient-Mysteries] ramases chronology
Expand Messages
- ----- Original Message -----From: mike whiteSent: Monday, December 03, 2012 5:40 PMSubject: Re: [Ancient-Mysteries] ramases chronologycayce5717-5Before this in [Prehistory?] Rameses II, the forces were that of the Priest [Ra-Ta] who became the outcast from the court, yet the remains were cast in this tomb.rameses two was perhaps the most vain of the pharaohs, yet he didnt carve his name on the great pyramid. perhaps, because it wasnt actually built by him. it would be wrong and sacriligious to steal the credit due to Hermes and Ra Ta.136-113. In the one before this we find in the Egyptian forces, when the Pharaohs were in that land, and under the second shepherd King, or second Pharaoh, we find the entity, in that entity then known as Isiso [Ra-Ta period - See 341-10, Par 5-A, on 6/2/25.this confirms that the ramases were the line of the shepherd kings.the hyksos were called the shepherd kings, coming from armenia, i suppose.2550-140. The entity then was the daughter of pharaoh, and a sister of Bithiah who nurtured and brought up Moses as her son.49. (Q) Please give the name of the pharaoh who was the father of the entity.
(A) Rameses. Rameses II.
this has the appearance of conflict and error. we have readings that place rameses two at 10,500 bce. another that gives 5500 bce for exodus. now, we are told rameses two was the pharaoh during the exodus. it would seem that he was 5,000 years old, when the red sea closed on him, ending his life. its known that this pharaoh out-lived most of his hundreds of children. he built kv5 as a tomb for them. all i can say, is that it was possible then using sed festival regeneration, to live that long. its a bit hard to believe, that exposed to the teaching then available, and purified, that he would not see the hand of God in those activities. i admit great surprise at this! i did find a single place in the bible that said a ramases ruled during the exodus. apparently, the body of ramases two was recovered, for our lads claim to have his mummy. no mention that he drowned.its possible that extended reigns of the ramases dynasty may have led to the chronology problems in the kings list of egypt. even today, few could accept such a long lifespan.

Australian Anime Distributor Hanabee Launching In-house Encoding And Authoring Services
Hanabee, Australia's youngest anime and pop-culture distributor, has just announced that it will be launching its own in-house authoring and encoding service. Carl Ardron, who has 12 years' experience in the compression and authoring field has joined the company as its Production and IT Development Manager.
"Carl's near-obsession over quality is something inspiring to be around. One of Hanabee's central purposes is to set the benchmark in this area and I'm simply thrilled this opportunity to work together has emerged," says Eric Cherry, Hanabee Entertainment's President and CEO.
Within the 2 years since its launch in 2012, Hanabee has already got an incredibly diverse and interesting range of titles in its catalogue, which includes Toradora!, Bakemonogatari, Anohana, Lupin The Third - The Woman Called Fujiko Mine and the upcoming Girls & Panzer. The company's continual growth and development is wonderful news for all the anime fans in Australia.

From Teman Negara we hopped on the "Jungle Train", which took us on a steamy ride to northeastern Malaysia. It is the jungle train because it literally goes right through the jungle; in fact, pieces of the jungle often fly through the windows into your laps. The ride was accompanied by beautiful scenery, but after 7 hours we couldn't take the heat anymore (much less the soot and smoke coming through the windows,) so we hopped the train and got a taxi with some Germans for the remainder of the trip to Kota Bharu (the transit center to Perhentian Islands.)
After a violently rough hour boat ride, we arrived at Pulau Besar of the Perhentian Islands. There are two islands, one known for its backpacker party scene and one known for its capacity for relaxation. We opted for the relaxing one. The Perhentian Islands are stunningly beautiful, jungle-covered islands with palm-fringed white sand beaches and impossibly clear turquoise waters
So, you can tell we liked diving. Now we are certified scuba divers! We also did one dive after our course was completed, to a site called the Temple of the Sea. It is considered to be a 4 star dive site. We went deeper than we had during the course, and our divemaster told us that he was very impressed with our skills. Overall, we had such a relaxing time at the islands. All of our meals and our accommodation was included in our dive package; the restaurant was maybe 30 steps from our chalet and we were allowed to order anything we desired! Great food too, Asian curries, fresh fish, banana milkshakes. Needless to say we ate and slept very well during our time at the islands
Reluctantly we left the Perhentians, and hopped on an 8 hour bus to Penang Island, located on the opposite coast of Malaysia. We arrived at 5 in the morning, and spent a few hours sleeping on benches in the bus station! Penang is not a tropical paradise like the Perhentians; it is way more populated and is one of Malaysia's economic powerhouses. Yesterday we rented a motorbike and drove it all around the island. The driving on this island has so far been the best that we have seen; that is, it is slightly manageable. Jack drove most of the way, as I still don't feel comfortable driving one, especially here where you drive on the left and anything goes, like driving on the right and on sidewalks. He did a great job and I felt very safe. The motorbike cost us less for an entire day (including helmets and gas) than did the 2 beers we bought that evening! It was great getting out there on the road, able to stop or turn around anytime we felt like it. We stopped at a tropical fruit farm, where Jack tasted his first durian (I won't try it, they smell like rotten garbage), and we drank some jackfruit juice! They have the craziest fruits here! We also stopped at Kek Lok Si temple, the largest Buddhist temple in Malaysia which incorporates Chinese, Burmese and Thai architecture. Very expansive and ornate with humungous Buddha figures.
Tomorrow we are off to Thailand!

And what is the treasure of generosity? There is the case of a disciple of the noble ones, his awareness cleansed of the stain of stinginess, living at home, freely generous, open-handed, delighting in being magnanimous, responsive to requests, delighting in the distribution of alms. This is called the treasure of generosity.
– The Buddha
Donations to Land of Joy will enable a sacred, transformative place to be created for the benefit of all.
We can never obtain peace or environmental stability until we create peace within ourselves.
– His Holiness the Dalai Lama
By helping produce such an environment, you contribute to peace, joy and prosperity in the world.
Land of Joy's success depends on your support
Your donation will support the benefits of retreat for yourself and others. We value every donation – whether large or small.
Many people are very busy with their family and many other things, and they don't have time to experience or meditate on the lam-rim themselves, but they…can give other people the opportunity to practice.
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
The vision of Land of Joy as a retreat centre and peaceful environment with a focus on sustainability and harmony is one that resonated with both my wife and me. We decided that this was an extremely worthwhile project and gave it a large part of our annual charity donation as we both feel that this is an essential part of investing in our future. I personally feel that Land of Joy is an instrument of positive change and movement towards tranquillity, which will counteract the ever-increasing busyness of our external and internal world.
– Anonymous donor
Even a penny donated by a beggar accumulates limitless merit.
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche
What your donation will provide
At Land of Joy there will be retreat facilities for groups and individuals, and eventually a community of ordained monks and nuns.
Thus your donation will enable the retreat centre to be established and provide the foundation for a spiritual community that will gradually mature and grow.
A vast shower of merit will pour down on a giver.
– The Buddha
Your donation helps in so many ways, for now and the future
We are a registered charity dedicated to creating a more compassionate and wise world through the transformative power of retreat.
In these end days, what greater gift could there be than to help give someone the chance to try and reach self-liberation by releasing them from the burden of difficult circumstances into the conducive peace of a retreat centre? These places are a treasure, so rare but so necessary on the arduous inner mountain path to ultimate happiness for all beings. They really are like the gates of paradise.
– Donor Susan Bacchus
Retreatants at Land of Joy will be able to contemplate and meditate in conditions designed to help them completely re-orient their lives.
Their retreat practice will enable them to generate:
- Patience in place of anger
- Generosity in place of greed
- Compassion in place of selfishness
- Wisdom in place of ignorance
Through this work our whole society will become slowly transformed by creating happier families, enlightened businesses and social institutions, and harmonious communities based on the inner transformation of individuals.
A Dharma centre which offers these practices is an extremely important need… It is a very important tool to bring peace in the world… so whatever you are able to contribute will be of benefit not only for the peace of this world, but for all sentient beings.
– Lama Zopa Rinpoche

I heard because Boone has had such a stinker of a year that he has to conduct the test too. It's the least he can do considering how much "he's not been there" even while he was there.Originally Posted by Caseyfan21
You're obviously confused about what exactly that entitles you to. That entitles you to a season's worth of Reds home games. Nothing else. Doesn't make you so special that you can invade the privacy of the players. That could be the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this board. It's private business. Something you need to stay out of.Originally Posted by Garrett
The difference between Clemens and Kearns is job security. If Clemens would have gone out there and pitched awful and came out after the third inning, he knows he'll still have a job. If Kearns goes out there and goes 1-12 with 6 K's then there is Pena and Denorfia knocking on the door to take his spot.
Why? Why should he have to publicize what is a private matter? It's obviously a possible family situation.Originally Posted by Garrett
Would it make you feel better and ease your conscience if you find out a family member is gravely ill or died?
Sure the kid has had a rough up and down year - but lets find something legitimate to nit-pick about.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Roger Clemens is obligated to be with his team ONLY on the days he pitches, thus he has plenty of time to take care of personal business. My heart goes out to him because of his loss, but it was entirely his choice to pitch yesterday... he had just spent a few days with his ill mother and said she'd have wanted him to pitch.
The situations between Roger Clemens and Austin Kearns are entirely different. Obviously, Austin's boss felt his PRIVATE reason(s) was legitimate. It is none of our business... and for the life of me, I can not figure out why you think it is yours.

Your OP raises a very good comparision, unfortunatly for you Austin Kearns plays for the Cincinnati Reds and for some reason is above reproach. Therefore we just look at everything he does from a certain perspectve, your rose-colored glasses should be in the mail.
Just feel fortunate that you did not compare him to Wily Mo Pena; for your information we don't acknowledge how he has been treated by this orgainization and how he has responded. We just wait for that breakout season for AK- should be any day now. As long as that 24? year old can keep his weight in check; see you at 35.
BTW although I dislike him, anybody want to make the argument that Austin Kearns was more valuable this year than Rich Aurilla?
I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous.- Stan Helsing
What does any of that have to do with the fact that Austin Kearns' personal life is none of your business?Originally Posted by NDRed
I have to give you credit though. It's not often that I get to see a strawman dance with a red herring in a post. That was a unique treat, but I might suggest that you isolate either the strawman OR the red herring next time. Either/or is always best when attempting to move the conversation dramatically off-topic.
Oh, BTW- I donated money to Redszone previously. As both you and Garrett have used bandwidth that I've helped purchase, that means that the next time you or he have a family member who's gravely ill, I'll be expecting a PM from you both so that I may give you permission to visit your family member in the hospital. In fact, using Garrett's logic, all subscribers really should know what you're doing at all times and approve all your posts in advance.
"The problem with strikeouts isn't that they hurt your team, it's that they hurt your feelings..." --Rob Neyer
"The single most important thing for a hitter is to get a good pitch to hit. A good hitter can hit a pitch thats over the plate three times better than a great hitter with a ball in a tough spot.

I'll say one thing. Things are so much more entertaining over here than the "Old Guard". Sorry to all of you on my attack of the team's underperforming sacred cow. You'd think I wanted to close down all the ball fields for the underpriviledged in Lexington!!
Truth be told: I like Austin, and I want him to succeed. I love the Reds, but I wonder about Kearns' maturity, and think he could be trying much harder.I could care less about his personal life-I just want him to produce. But like Marty has said (also curiously an object of hostility amongst this group), it's time to put up or shut up, and the batting average is - what it is.
Gosh, if only i had questioned Aurelia!

Glad to see so many posters with the right answer to this silly post and the poster deserves to get the backlash he is getting. I normally wouldn't even bother but someone not KNOWING THE FACTS and posting this thread isn't thinking to well,it may really be something excusable and likely is.GO CINCY!!!!!
I guess entertaining must not be code for "talking about baseball" because the orginal post wasn't about that at all.I'll say one thing. Things are so much more entertaining over here than the "Old Guard".

Excellent point TB. Here we have a pitcher who signed a contract for around 20 Mil - and he only had to be there on the days he pitches.Originally Posted by TeamBoone
And a comparison is drawn between Clemens and Kearns to show that Kearns is being coddled??
I thought the Kevin Brown contract several years ago, with it's stipulations on air travel, hotel rooms, family members, etc. was ridiculous, until I saw this Clemen's contract.
"In my day you had musicians who experimented with drugs. Now it's druggies experimenting with music" - Alfred G Clark (circa 1972)
Somehow, I don't remember you mentioning this at all.Originally Posted by Garrett
Your beef (from my perspective) was with Austin asking for, and being granted, PERSONAL time to attend to an unpublicized PERSONAL matter when you feel his first priority should lie with his team and with you.

(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) FREMONT, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/26/14 -- GammaTech Computer Corp., a major international manufacturer and supplier of innovative notebook, tablet, and PC devices, has added a series of all-in-one computers to its award-winning DURABOOK lineup. Featuring a 24" full high-definition display, the thin-style P24 lineup comes with a powerful 4th generation Intel® Haswell Core� processor, and special features such as a proximity sensor and an internal UPS battery that provides backup power. Additionally, the lineup includes an optional upgraded model designed specifically for the healthcare industry.
"Designed with features specifically for their industries, the new GammaTech DURABOOK P24 Series of all-in-one computers is an ideal match for applications in the business/enterprise world, hospitality environment, and at nursing stations, on medical carts, and wall or VESA mounted in hospitals, clinics, or doctor offices," commented Jen Chen, GammaTech President. "And, naturally, as GammaTech products, each model is made to perform in demanding situations. They meet Military Standard 810G certifications for vibration, work in temperatures up to 104 degrees F, and are front-panel spill proof." Special FeaturesData protection on standard GammaTech DURABOOK P24 models is aided by a proximity sensor that turns the display on or off when it detects a user's presence. This ensures the data will not be compromised while the worker is temporarily away from the unit. Additionally, Trusted Platform Module (TPM) provides strong data encryption to ensure data security.
GammaTech's P24 all-in-one computers also come with an optional built-in uninterruptible power supply (UPS) battery. It provides up to 45 minutes of emergency power in case of a power interruption, preventing disruption of critical business operations or loss of data.
Standard FeaturesOther standard features found on the GammaTech DURABOOK P24 Series computers include a powerful 4th generation Intel Core processor that delivers better graphics, longer battery life, and enhanced security measures. Images, photos, graphics, and even text come to life on the ample 24" full high-definition (1920x1080) TFT LCD screen. An optional projective capacitive 10-point multi-touch panel featuring a water tolerant design, meaning the touch panel can be used while wet, is available.
P24 Series models also come with a 2MP webcam; high-definition audio; wireless communications provided by 802.11 ac/a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0; and 2.5" SATA 3 HDD of 500GB or 750GB and 2.5" SATA 3 SSD of 64GB or 128GB. A 5.25" Super Multi-Optical disk drive is optional. Accessories include a phone holder, desktop stand, and both a standard AC adapter and a medical-grade AC adapter.

Medical-Grade ModelThe GammaTech DURABOOK P24 Series includes a medical-grade unit designed specifically for the healthcare market. It may be used in any hospital, medical, dental or similar type facility as a desktop unit with a stand, mobile unit on a medical cart, or stationary unit by wall mounting.
This special model includes two critical features that are vital in today's healthcare facilities: UL 60601-1 third edition certification (a widely accepted benchmark for the safety and essential performance of medical electrical equipment), and antimicrobial surface protection (to help stop the spread of viruses and germs while it protects patients and practitioners at work).

Top 10 New Year's Resolutions for Computer Users
Time and possibly money-saving advice for everyone who uses a computer and/or surfs the Internet. Topics include the importance of making backups, warnings on posting photos to social networks, and understanding security question risks.
Just some of the resolutions:
* When asking for computing help, especially on free help sites, be sure to describe one's problems clearly and completely to make it easier for others to assist, as many people doing so are volunteers and have a limited amount of time. A list of suggested items to include in support requests is included in the article.
* Frequently backup files and perform multiple backups. Files can be corrupted by malware attacks, hard drive failures, ignoring warning dialog boxes, and other ways the article describes.
* Be very careful before posting photos on Facebook, Twitter, or other social networking services. Photos of parties, for example, can cause future problems, and not just because job interviewers later might find these pictures and use them when considering hires.
"While many people think of common New Year's resolutions such as going to the gym or cutting back to help get rid of debt, changing the way one uses the computer or interacts online does not come up often", said Andrew Malek, owner of MalekTips. "Following these resolutions, though they may take a little bit of effort, in the long run may save time, and possibly even money."
