There is shadow under this red rock
It is the only form of freedom, said the Calibrator. We had passed another night in the badlands, where strange things cried and died in the darkness, some of them not due to our activity. Catferret had made camp some distance away and his own fire, and I was not surprised to see him standing on a rock silhouetted against the dawn. The Calibrator was cooking ham and eggs on a frying pan balanced over his portable cooking stove. His oilcloth wrap was propped up on branches as a windbreak. The dawn sky was a horrid pink.
The freedom, the Calibrator said, to do those things we saw yesterday. In the hollow.
I told, he said, a young man that many years ago on a far island. He was shall we say susceptible his head addled by an upper class upbringing and probably untreated syphilis from the Oxford doxies - oxies, shall we say - he had porked during his undergraduate years. I took on the persona of a village mayor I had known during the late unpleasantness.
What happened to the mayor, I said unwisely.
What do you think, said the Calibrator. They were bloody times. As they are now. But be that as it may young man I told him as I am telling you that the only freedom is to shed blood.
Nietzsche, I wondered.
Bless you, he said. My young man - that young man - went home to write a two hundred thousand word novel which had that one scene buried somewhere in it like the slim handsome boy inside the fat boozy old man slouched at the bar. He had not understood the lesson not one bit. I even showed him the mayor's gravestone and he still went on believing that I was the mayor. The night mayor I told him. Night mayor geddit?
I do, I said. The ham and eggs were cooked now and we ate them. We could not give our position away so did not call to Catferret. I was not sure Catferret was human anyway. I was not really even sure that the Calibrator was human either. Which left me. Like a reverse version of that fine John Carpenter movie "The Thing", one of us was human.
Perhaps Catferret would have paced down and caught and eaten his own breakfast one of the pikas that darted about the rocky sagebrush lands their only source of nourishment the sagebrush and water from the cactus. The mountain pika, a species of jack hare, has an elongated snout that allows it to burrow into the cactus between the spines. This is also useful to it for hiding against owls and other such things that think pikas are a tasty dinner. At first people thought the pikas were impaled on the spines but they were borrowing them as defensive armour. Oh no Brer Fox, don't throw me into the briar patch. That kind of thing. Of course Brer Rabbit lives in the briar patch and once there he hops away to safety and Brer Fox can't follow.
After our breakfast we set off, on foot as ever, heading for Upland. We planned to be in it by nightfall.

FBS: trade recomendation for GBP/USD
Tatyana Norkina, FBS analyst
Yesterday the pair spent the day inside of the hourly Cloud, in the 1.6850-1.6880 range.
Ichimoku. The market is now developping a sideways range. The main H4 trend is bearish, but the hourly Ichimoku is narrowing to the upside, while Tenkan and Kijun lines are forming golden crosses.
At the same time, the 1.6880 resistance remains intact. What's more, there is a strong resistance in the 1.6900/1.6905 area. For this reason, in the near term we recommend selling GBP/USD.
Technical levels: support – 1.6775, 1.6805, 1.6850; resistance – 1.6880, 1.6905.
Trade recommendation:
1. Sell — 1.6880; SL — 1.6905; TP1 — 1.6805; TP2 — 1.6775.

sample the album:
"If you want, you can book this trio. It says on the cover. It means that this is an ongoing affair for these solid improvisers. Thomas Lehn, the well-known player of analogue synthesizer, teams up with Franz Hautzinger (quartertone trumpet, electronic devices) and the person whom I think is new to me: Bertrand Gauguet on alto and soprano saxophones. The recordings were made in concert, one early 2007, one early 2008. As you can imagine this is a work of total improvisation, but its in capable hands. The three play very well, sometimes heavily controlled, such as a major section in 'Close Up 2', with long sustaining tones, but also more chaotic and uncontrolled - relying on the free jazz approach - in the two pieces around it. Hautzinger and Gauguet play the instruments as objects, producing all sorts of tones and notes and not in the regular way as these instruments should be played. That's nice enough but my personal favorite is that second piece. Slow, minimal, changing, moving and intense, with what seems to be a leading part for Lehn's synthesizer. In the third part this is continued but with outbursts of free play. That's a fine mixture too. The opening piece didn't do that for me. Quite nice indeed."-Frans de Waard, Vital Weekly

• Show Bio for Bertrand Gauguet
"Bertrand Gauguet is a musician trudging through a practice without hierarchy involving sound and music: as an improvising saxophonist, electronic music composer and as a sounds collector.
He plays since the early 2000s the alto saxophone in contexts of solo and group improvisation. His approach takes part in research on the technical areas of the instrument by which precise exploration of a sound language consists of materials produced by the breath, multiphonics and microphony.
Collaborations with John Tilbury, Robin Hayward, Franz Hautzinger, Xavier Charles, Sophie Agnel, Pascal Battus, Eric La Casa, Michel Doneda, Insub Meta Orchestra, Seijiro Murayama Tetuzi Akiyama, Toshimaru Nakamura, John Butcher, Axel Dörner, Isabelle Duthoit... Many festivals about new and experimental music (Europe, USA, Japan ...).
As an electronic music composer, he composes original music and original soundtracks with dance, movies and radio broadcast. He produced the LP The Torn Map in 2013.
In 2011, he was a resident of the villa Kujoyama in Kyoto. He studied the shakuhachi while learning to Honkyoku directory with Mr Yoshio Kurahashi.
Since 2004, he taught at the Haute Ecole des Arts du Rhin in the Sonic research program he co-founded in 2007. He leads the generative improvisation workshop at CFMI in Sélestat since 2012 and conducted educational workshops at the Cité de la Musique in Paris from 2002 to 2012."-Bertrand Gauguet Website (http://www.bertrandgauguet.com/)

• Show Bio for Thomas Lehn
"Thomas Lehn was Born in Fröndenberg (Germany) in 1958. Since the early 1980s Thomas Lehn has been working as a author and performer of contemporary music. After studying recording engineering - piano with Prof. Wilfried Kassebaum - at the Music Academy of Detmold in Germany, studies at the Music Academy of Cologne with Peter Degenhardt and Prof. Klaus Oldemeyer (classical piano) and with Frank Wunsch and Francis Coppieters (jazz piano) completed his academical education. In the 80ies he took part on courses of Studio for pianistic interpretation held by Prof. Jürgen Uhde.
As an interpreting pianist he has been playing concerts since 1982 - performing both contemporary new music including numerous first performances and traditional composed music of the classical and romantical period. In 1989 he initiated the chamber ensemble Trio Dario and four years later the Mengano Quartett, performing compositions of the contemporary avant-garde, in particular numerous first performances of comissioned works. Developed parallel to his work as a pianist, since the early 1990s his major and widely reknown work has been performing and producing live-electronic music. Rooted in the experience of a wide spectrum of musical fields based on his background as an interpreting and improvising pianist in classical-, contemporary and jazz-music and having been involved in numerous other projects like music theatre, dance, multi-media, studio pre-/post-production etc., he has been developing an individual 'language' of electronic music.
The electronic equipment he uses consists of analogue synthesizers of the late 1960s, and since 1994 in particular the EMS Synthi A. Besides the substantial sound qualities of its analogue synthesis, the facilities of this modular instrument - for example to modify electronic sounds very directly as well as to combine and to control several parameters of the sound synthesis at the same time - allows him to spontaneously act in close contact with the various structural degrees of the musical process.
In 2000 his solo album Feldstärken had been released on German label Random Acoustics. Up today, his discography enclosures about 80 CD publications. Numerous appearances at major international festivals of contemporary musics and concerts tours in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungaria, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, Scotland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the USA give evidence of his international profile and recognition.
He has been involved in projects promoted and/or supported by the Goethe-Institutes in Belgrade, Boston, Bratislava, Budapest, Chicago, Copenhagen, Glasgow, Lille, Lissabon, London, Manchester, Marseille, Milano, Montreal, Palermo, Rome, San Francisco, Tel Aviv, Tokyo, Toronto, Warsaw, Wellington and York. His musical activities enclosure long term and newer ensemble collaborations as well as involvements in numerous specific single projects. Long term collaborations are ensembles like KONK PACK, TOOT, THERMAL, FUTCH, MIMEO, SPEAK EASY, 6IX, VARIO-34, as well as the duo works with Marcus Schmickler, Tiziana Bertoncini, Gerry Hemingway, Paul Lovens, Frédéric Blondy Urs Leimgruber and John Butcher. More recently formed ensembles are the duos with Benoît Moreau and with the video artist Kjell Bjørgeengen, trio formations with John Butcher involving pianists John Tilbury and Matthew Shipp.
Further he is pianist and founding member of the ensemble]h[iatus, an ensemble for interpretation and improvisation of contemporary music, whichs members are all experienced interpreters and improvisers. The ensemble compiles concert programs integrating/alternating notated and real-time-created contemporary music. It has been first-performing commissioned works by Vinko Globokar, Peter Jakober, Jennifer Walshe, Anthony Pateras besides performing compositions of the contemporary repertoire. Besides performing his own electronic music, in the recent years Thomas Lehn became more active as a synthesizer interpreter of electronic compositions. The realisation of Boguslav Schaeffer's Electronic Symphony - live performed in 2010 and 2011 - has been documented on the CD PRES Scores on polish label Bolt/Monotype. In 2012 he world premierred OCCAM VI for synthesizer solo by Éliane Radigue at Berghain Berlin during festival Faithful! and - together with KlangForum Wien - dort for synthesizer and 15 piece ensemble by Austrian composer Peter Jakober at musikprotokoll Graz and at Konzerthaus Vienna."-Thomas Lehn Website (http://www.thomaslehn.com/read/vita_e.html)

How gynecomastia treated?
In most cases, no treatment is needed for gynecomastia. The condition seldom progresses to the point where a boy will be embarrassed about the breast growth. In 90 percent of teenage boys, gynecomastia goes away in less than three years.
Some boys find that wearing loose-fitting clothing makes the condition appear less noticeable until the extra tissue goes away over time. A doctor should still monitor the condition every few months.
For the remaining 10 percent of males who continue to have gynecomastia, treating the underlying cause may improve the condition. Some treatment possibilities are:
We are grateful to have been ranked #1 on U.S. News & World Report's list of the best children's hospitals in the nation for the third year in a row, an honor we could not have achieved without the patients and families who inspire us to do our very best for them.

HarleyDavidson Street 750 coming to UK
New entrylevel Harley in UK dealers by September
HARLEY-DAVIDSON'S Street 750 will go on sale in the UK this September, the firm has announced.
It's one of two new smaller-capacity models, the other being the identical-looking Street 500, which were unveiled at the Eicma Milan show in 2013 as Harley's first all-new motorcycle 'platform' in 13 years.
Both use a liquid-cooled V-twin engine, of 749 and 494cc respectively.
At the time of the unveiling, Harley said the only European markets to see the 750 in 2014 would be Italy, Spain and Portugal, with other countries having to wait until 2015.
Confirmation that it's now our turn came at a press test ride of Harley-Davidson's new prototype electric bike, the LiveWire. A spokesman said during a press briefing that the Street 750 would be in UK dealerships by September.
Prices in Europe range from €7,350 (£5,280) in Spain to €7,800 (£5,603) in Italy.
The Street 500 is aimed primarily at emerging markets including India.

The tittle-tattle of Clara Gregory
Clara Gregory is a nine year old girl who begins a journal about the little bits of gossip she hears in her little town of Dukely. She soon finds that the journal is going to be very useful indeed.
To all those who may read this journal, I would have it known that my name is Clara Gregory of 18 Pembruck Road, Dukely, England.
This is my journal, and in it I am obligated to write all the tittle-tattle I hear as I live my life in this dear little town I call home.
Firstly journal, since I shall be spending quite a bit of time writing in you, I think we should have no secrets between us. So I shall tell you now that my Grandad, who is the bestest, dearest Grandad in the whole world gave me the idea for this journal, and it is he who has been helping me with my writing and grammar.
So together we shall sit every evening and read about the funny things I have heard said, and have a jolly good time.
Who knows what we may discover?

Good belt. Real leather. Size up on belts. Take your waist size and add 4-6 to the number for belt size.
Verified Buyer Reviewed by papanick from illinois on Friday, January 9, 2015probably the best belts I have, work well with my perry suspenders-bought one a while ago-since these are now close-outs, boght two more-one more for me, one for graddaughters boy friend-fine quality, excellent price!
Reviewed by Nick C from California on Monday, February 17, 2014This belt looks nice, and I like the little roller on the buckle - it helps the belt slide through the buckle easier. When in doubt, order the larger size - the holes go all the way around, so the larger size essentially just adds more possible sizes. After a few weeks of use, mine has some indentation near the hole I use, so it might not be that long-lasting of a belt.
Reviewed by Zytal from california on Thursday, January 9, 2014very nice quality and looks very good
Reviewed by Harry from Long Island, NY on Tuesday, January 7, 2014Its a cheap belt. About the time the leather starts to get slightly soft, the glue bonding the belt together fails and the belt starts to become undone. If you're say, dieting, and need an interim belt while you continue to lose weight its great-just don't expect to be handing it down to the grandkids. I wore it three or four times a week and it started to become unglued at about the five month mark. Three stars because it wasn't overpriced.
Reviewed by Discerning Decider from Illinois on Monday, December 30, 2013I ordered this for myself because it is completely adjustable, it is attractive, black is most versatile, and it is very affordable. I measured my waist at 36" and ordered a 36" belt. It fits perfectly. After holiday binging ceases and I start jogging again in warm weather, the belt can accommodate the changes to my waist! Very happy with this purchase!

What Is The Big Society?
I have a crush on David Cameron. I know, I know. In my defence it's not just him but part of an overall sex problem I have - I'm irresistibly attracted to floppy haired, public school, posh boys with their cut glass accents and raging arrogance. Which as defences go is pretty feeble I admit. Like I say, don't hate me. It's very disabling only being attracted to men who's politics you reject.
Except.. you know, I'm a bit of a Big Society fan. It seems it confuses most people, but the Big Society is one of those really simple yet fiendishly difficult to define concepts we'd all pretty much agree with if we could just pin it down a bit better. Big Society turned up at my door yesterday in the guise of a neighbour wanting a phone number, who left instructing me to just text her 'Bad Day' when I need a plate of food delivering to the door at teatime. Big Society is the 'meals on heels' team who all cook for me, it's that lovely Richard who pushed me home in the pouring rain when BendyBus broke down, and that Mike I just had a nice chat with down at The Bench about how to navigate the mazes of changes which threaten to drown you after a life changing medical event. Big Society is all about communities pulling together, strangers smiling at each other, and relationships developing.
But, once Housing Benefit is reduced I will have to pay more* from my other benefits to cover the increased rent shortfall. That's assuming I still receive those benefits, am not deemed fit for work by the work capability assessment and reassessed out of my entitlement to Disability Living Allowance in the drive to reduce overall eligibility. Any of those things would mean I'd have to attempt to relocate to a cheaper area, and the big society so well built in my immediate community would come tumbling down. My mini big society works because it is provided by people not in full time employment; stay at home mum's supported by their husbands, part time workers, those in receipt of benefits. It would take time to rebuild elsewhere and only works on such an immediate level when there are enough people at home during the day to provide it, so I'd have no choice but to approach the local authority to seek that support. The cost in economic terms to the local authority, the NHS and central government would only pale in comparison to the human cost.
What Big Society is not and never will be is a replacement for state services. It can't provide wheelchairs to everyone, should not be providing personal care** support to anyone, and won't even steri strip the gaping wound caused by cutting such state services. Using it as a cover for such just cheapens something that we all know to be right and means I'm left even more disappointed by Dave than I am shamed of myself for fancying him in the first place.
Though I suspect I'm not the only one suffering from some self inflicted shame. Watch David Cameron every time a question about disability comes up. He doesn't just flush red on his neck like he does during PMQ's when someone scores a point, when the subject is disability he flushes red all the way up to his forehead and has the look of a man deeply troubled by his conscience. Because, give him his due, David Cameron seems genuinely and passionately committed to his Big Society and as a father was genuinely, passionately committed to the well being of his much loved late son Ivan. The increasing reports of families pushed beyond breaking point by the lack of state services feeling they have no choice but to place their children in vastly more expensive residential care must be a far more effective 3am wake up call than any crying baby.
*My current level of housing benefit is approximately £91 p/week
**personal care is help with activities such as washing, dressing, bathing or feeding.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm agreeing or disagreeing with you when I say that Big Society HAS HAS HAS to be backed up by full and complete state support.
I'll give an example of what I mean. It's going to be a very silly, petty example (because I'm shying away from The Serious Stuff right now) but it demonstrates the point which can be applied to all sorts of other situations.
Every wheelchair user who has been pushed by another person knows about the "brrrm-brrrm" noises that certain people cannot resist making when pushing a chair. Except on very particular occasions, I absolutely HATE it. It makes me feel undignified, infantilised, and more than a little angry.
If a paid PA did it (and thankfully so far none of mine have) I would be able to say "stop that, I'm not a child or a toy." If they didn't stop it, I would be able to start a clearly defined disciplinary process to underline why it's important to me and make the request specific and written down. If after that they still couldn't stop it and I fired them, I would be able to employ a new PA.
But what can I do when the Big Society, in the form of friends, decide that they are going to do it? If I say "stop that," are they going to feel offended? Since there's no income, they won't feel worried about losing the job - will they simply withdraw all the help they are giving me? If they do, will I be able to find another Big Society helper? They almost certainly won't work a notice period to give me time to find someone new.
So I fear that Big Society leaves me sitting silently in my wheelchair, with no control, feeling unable to voice frustration at my loss of dignity for fear of losing all my help for good.
(Less of an issue with my new chair, but I'm only one fried circuit away from attendant-propelled.)

On paper, it's a great idea; it's tribal and small village and when we had that sort of societal system, it worked.
But "societies" or "civilisations" at large didn't have that kind of encompassing ability - people are too busy; too busy making more money, too busy taking care of finances, too busy preparing for their retirement plans and climbing up the ladder. The problem with Big Society is when you get THAT Big, someone is going to suffer. It's just too....big.
I have friends who are all on the spectrum of suffering through cuts and we are all therefore trying to find ways to take care of each other somehow. Honestly we had to do it before, and we're having to do it even more now. But again, that sort of small-time village sentiment only works if the ruling Lord/Fiefholder/Government doesn't come charging in demanding a higher raise of tax/greater amount of grain/rights to all the virgin girls on a particular month. When that happens, people tend to get miffed and rebel - rather loudly, in fact.
WIthout getting over socio-economic, I can only say that what history seems to have proven is when a society gets to this point, it collapses, or there's a rebellion. And no, I'm not saying that in the hackneyed overquoted "if you forget history you are doomed to repeat it" - we KNOW the history. It's just that it is repeated regularly as the Powers That Be seem to feel all the hundreds of civilisations which came before them must somehow have been ignorant in some way...we take history as a direct blueprint. The problem is, the blueprint is inherently flawed.
I'm waiting for the revolution, personally. History shows it's only a matter of time.

Big society is a good idea if it will improve quality of life for some people. It is a very bad idea if people end up depending on the good will of others for their everyday needs. One needs to be able to depend on something more reliable and permanent than that.

So, so true BG! My own little big society has variously gone through phases of both expansion and contraction as the lives of our friends, families and neighbours change. Willingness to help each other out doesn't (necessarily) change but availability, proximity and strength/energy does. We all need there to be efficient and timely help available from State/Council/NHS services for the people and/or the times when social networks/communities are NOT there.

Big Society sounds like a good idea BUT
The reality is that the council chiefs will shut everything down, blaming the Tory cuts (what cuts btw? The budgets are only being frozen)The former town clerks and fatcat councillors will continue to take their huge salaries and contribution free pensions having laid off all the staff. We will I suspect be able to "bid" (beg) for scraps of cash to fund "volunteer" organisations (staffed by now unemployed people who did the job previously and were employed by the council)
I was once chairman of a community transport and shopmobility scheme. Both were started by people with good intentions. They did a great job getting the schemes off the ground, publicised and paid for by council and charity funding. The original people died/left and both schemes foundered. Now we have nothing. I give the Big Society ten years.
After that you/we're on our own.
(and the council chiefs and politicians will be retired on inflation proof pensions)
Bitter? Moi?

It's an excellent point you raise. On the face of it the idea of the Big Society is great, but the problem I have with the big society is that it seems to be about filling in the gaps left by rolling-back the state. For this purpose it is wholly inadiquate for so many reasons, morst of them being the reasons why the welfare state was developed in the first place.
As an interesting aside though I'm reading The Spirit Level at the moment which argues that we are all much more cooperative and civic-minded in more equal societies.

I'm a disabled ex-pat Brit living in LA. I've only just found this blog and it's made me realise once more just how lucky I am to be in the situation I am. I don't have money worries, I have a wonderful, loving husband and a nice place to live, and I have work (i.e. academic research) to do as and when I can (not much). Yet I still come close to 'giving up' (euphemism) once a month or so.
I saw the Tories at work in the 80's. Now they're at it again, attacking their most vulnerable felllow-citizens from positions of privilege and security, and I am so glad, for myself, that I am not in their clutches—but my disabled sister is, and I am really worried about what will happen to her. Your blog will help me keep up with the problems she faces, and what, if anything, can be done about them. (I'm a UK tax-payer still, so I have that dog in the fight as well.) Thank you.

CHAPTER THREE: Crossing the Rabbit's Path (7)
Grom's sight returned in time to witness Denthis hurdle nearly twenty feet upward, avoiding the attack with ease while the ends of his cloak flapped against the wind. Then he fanned out one of his arms during his descent, and the faintest glisten of daylight gleamed off of expertly flung knifepoints. Three more archers collapsed, writhing around in white snow drifts and painting them a rosy red hue. As Denthis touched down, his feet were already engaged in a lightning dash, and he moved as if being guided by some unseen gale.
"To arms, to arms!" the eely voice urged, but it would've been more accurate for him to state, "One arm, one arm," because as the figure withdrew a sword from its scabbard, the weapon fell to the ground; his hand was still grasping the hilt, but the appendage attached at the wrist was feeling altogether unattached at the elbow. Then a cutlass ran him through.
The sweet symphony of unsheathing steel resonated beyond the cornices and cascaded into the ravines below. They rushed at Denthis from all sides, enclosing around him at every angle, but a quick and clean stab that slayed another prompted a reevaluation of strategy. Three of his assailants scampered toward him from one flank in tandem with another three hastening from the opposite. They bellowed out confident, echoing war cries.
Grom and Bornen stared on with mounting astonishment and engaged interest, while the fight concluded as thus: cultist 1 and 2 initiated the combat with wild swings; Denthis countered with a half-block double dodge combo; cultist 4 thrust his sword ineffectually; cultist 3 was parried mid attack (kill stroke); cultists 5 and 6 consecutively executed missed lunges; Denthis ducked under a second round of wild swings, then yawned mockingly; cultist 1 rallied for another go, but was parried and riposted (kill stroke); cultist 2 regained his balance in time to feel the heaviness of a boot collide with his head; then cultists 4, 5 and 6 would've made a last ditch effort to synchronize desperate slashes, but they were all instantly stopped by imperceptible injuries marked with rapidly appearing knife handles (mortal wound, kill stroke, kill stroke); cultist 2 recovered from the kick and smartly fled, tripping over a low crawling one-armed figure gushing blood, who was then assisted into a pitiful retreat. A weak, eely voice beaconed in the distance, "We'll get you yet, Rabbit. You hear me? You haven't seen the last of the Red Star!" . . . An ominous threat like that was music to Denthis' ears.
After retrieving his weapons and wiping them down on the spare robes of the dead, Denthis returned to the boulder and studied the dwarves. "Are you two all right over here?"

Gorilla Zoe ft. Young Jeezy, Big Boi, Jody Breeze, & Rick Ross - Hood N*gga (Remix)
By Burmy | 9 years ago
Artist: Gorilla Zoe
Track: Hood N*gga ft. Young Jeezy, Big Boi, Jody Breeze, Rick Ross
Feat. Jeezy, Jody Breeze, Rick Ross
Producer: Chris Flame
Album: Welcome to the Zoo
As if one remix wasn't enough, Gorilla Zoe decided to make an "Official Remix" to his underground smash/mainstream single, Hood N*gga. Jeezy can be found on the 'unofficial' remix, but was brought back again for one more go around. Legendary ATLien Big Boi provides his unique combination of street sense and eccentric lyricism, and Zoe's Boyz n da Hood brother Jody Breeze gets the hang of the flow rather easily during his contribution. Even MIA's Rick Ross (who Diddy had hinted at recruiting had Zoe not joined) brings his addictive style to the table, demonstrating that even though he's a millionaire now, he'll always be hood. Zoe's Welcome to the Zoo is set to drop September 25th.

Can towns and cities adapt to an aging population?
July 11, 2014
As America's homeowners' ages move upward, Reuters reports that Harvard researchers see the majority of households aging in place instead of downsizing or moving to retirement communities. The question is, will their towns or cities have the means to support an unprecedented number of senior citizens?

• The classiest move at the Final Four in Detroit went without publicity. Princeton athletic director Gary Walters made sure he got tickets for the family of Lorin Mauer and her boyfriend, Kevin Kuwik, Butler's director of basketball operations. Mauer, who worked in the Princeton athletic department as the Athletics Friends group manager, died in the Buffalo plane crash of Continental Airlines Flight 3407 from Newark to Buffalo on Feb. 13.
Kuwik and Mauer's parents were going to go to the games and visit with friends. The NCAA's Greg Shaheen, a vice president in charge of men's basketball, had also made quite a gesture while Mauer was still alive by pursuing a job opportunity for her in Indianapolis to help her get closer to Kuwik.
Kuwik said he, the family and relatives of other passengers who perished were going to pursue lobbying efforts in Washington on plane safety issues. Kuwik, a former assistant coach at Ohio University who also did two tours in Iraq with the Indiana National Guard, has been warmly received during his one year at Butler. Kuwik was understandably trying to get through a rough transition period as he deals with his grief as well as the lull in his duties for Butler. Kuwik isn't recruiting at this point for Butler. But he has found a home with the Bulldogs and they too have embraced him. Kuwik will be a head coach one day. He is diligent, determined and passionate about the game. Nothing will replace the love of his life, but he is clearly trying to find a cause to channel his grief. He is a good man, who deserves only the best.
• Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun passed on his thoughts through a spokesperson Friday that he doesn't believe junior Stanley Robinson will declare for the draft. If Robinson does turn away from the chatter that he would be in the first round then the Huskies should be a top 25 team, with Kemba Walker and Jerome Dyson, assuming he's OK after knee surgery, in the backcourt.
• Kentucky coach John Calipari said Friday he fully expects sophomore forward Patrick Patterson to follow junior guard Jodie Meeks and declare for the NBA draft. Calipari said he sees no reason why, under the current structure, college players wouldn't declare and get four or five workouts in to see where they stand before going back to school if they don't sign with an agent. Calipari did say the one danger is that a bad workout won't be forgotten. Teams tend to latch onto the bad workouts in their own gyms. NBA teams can pay for the workouts in May and June. There are no five-on-five games for underclassmen this season (a number of fringe seniors are at the Portsmouth Invitational in Virginia this weekend). The Chicago combine in late May will be some light drills in the morning followed by interviews with teams the rest of the day. It will be interesting to see how many personnel are sent from teams that normally would send their whole scouting staff to Orlando for the pre-draft camp. That won't be necessary with the main part of the combine being interviews.
• Calipari said he has two more workouts next week with the returning Kentucky players and should know then who will or won't be back next season. He's still trying to sort out who wants to play for him and under his dribble-drive-motion offense. Calipari said he's also reviewing the schedule. The Wildcats will honor games against Louisville, Indiana and North Carolina but he still needs to sign off on playing Connecticut in the SEC-Big East Challenge in Madison Square Garden and is looking at the exempted tournament options. Former Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie had put Kentucky in an event in Cancun, Mexico. That is also being reviewed.
• Gonzaga coach Mark Few said he would talk to new Memphis coach Josh Pastner about continuing their series that was predicated more on Few and Calipari.
• Davidson coach Bob McKillop said the Wildcats start a new series at Duke and return a BracketBusters game at Butler. But McKillop is on hold about any other scheduling requests until he knows for sure if Stephen Curry is returning for his senior season.
• Calipari said he would put Rod Strickland on the road for Kentucky. He will have a spot open on his staff with Pastner staying at Memphis. Pastner is interviewing candidates, especially experienced, older coaches, for a prime spot on his bench. Florida has a prime assistant gig open now with Shaka Smart left to be the head coach at VCU.
• Xavier athletic director Mike Bobinski said he would likely have a decision on the next head coach sometime in the middle of next week. He also said not to read that a time lag would hurt assistant Chris Mack's chances of replacing Sean Miller.
• Tulsa got great news Friday when Jerome Jordan said he would return for his senior season. The Golden Hurricane will likely be the favorite now ahead of Memphis in Conference USA. Jordan has helped Tulsa to consecutive 25-win seasons, averaging 13.8 points, 8.6 rebounds and 2.5 blocks as a junior.
• Friday's way-too-early Top 25 will get crushed over the next few weeks, especially the back end of it. I'm not too worried about being wrong with the top 10 teams being capable of landing in that range next season. From Nos. 11 to 35 you could put a host of teams in there and not be off. This will be a fluid process over the next six months.

Trigger warning: why Hollywood's gun fetish is good for the soul
Here's a tale of two revolvers. One is the Model 29 Smith & Wesson used to clean up the streets of 1970s San Francisco by 'Dirty' Harry Callahan, the fictional police inspector played by Clint Eastwood. The other is a Smith & Wesson too: a smaller Model 27, which the real American politician Robert Budd Dwyer used to blow his brains out in front of television cameras in 1987.
Start with Eastwood. In Dirty Harry's most famous scene, our hero mows down two bank robbers with that Model 29 as they flee the scene, then levels it at a third, the camera looking back along its thick, glinting barrel towards its owner's calm and lightly smirking face. Cue the famous line: "Being as this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off," Harry says, "you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?"
Said punk thinks about reaching...

TNT Renews 'Falling Skies' For Fourth Season
15 Comments
GREAT NEWS! LOVE this show! LOVE TNT! This & 'Dallas' are their best shows IMO. As far as FS, I mean where would NBC's 'Revolution' or SYFY's 'Defiance' be without it as a predecessor?!
YAYYYYYYY! Next season won't come around fast enough!
Frakin awesome! I had been hoping for a GoT rewnewal response on the airing of S03E01, but this still works.
While I am enjoying Defiance more and more, Falling Skies IS the SciFi we've been wanting.
Falling Skies is the type of show SyFy should had been making, but they're too wrapped up on their reality shows now.
I agree. Every new episode of Defiance I watch is getting me more and more into it. But I still set my watch to FS
More Maggie! Yay!
Hopefully TNT will open a sunday all SCI-FI night next summer with the renewed FALLING SKIES and THE LAST SHIP.
Can't wait for that combo!!!
This show is for people who don't like good material. Props to those folks!
"Epic"… That's pretty generous.
I watched the first two seasons and wasn't impressed .Just can't get into 3. Is it better and the first 2 ?
It's fun summer popcorn-type viewing. And for science fiction fans, its much better than the crappy 'Under the Dome' on CBS.
@rob That's pretty impressive that you watched two seasons of a show even though you basically didn't like it.
Thirty minutes of programming stretched into an hour by long pauses and pointless angst. Cheesy special effects, horrible acting all around. Two years after aliens destroy civilization, people are still living on food that was just laying around? Gasoline seems plentiful. Ammunition is unlimited. I don't ask for much from sci-fi, but I do expect it to make sense.
After watching the first two episodes of "Falling Skies" and at the
end of the second series where it ended with more aliens arriving
having landed outside of the second mass.headquarters , what happened after that are we missing something here at the beginning
of the third series , it doesnt show what happens after the new
alien lands all we get is a group attacking a mine to free people
from skitters , come on guys get your act together and put it right
it seems to me that a part has been deleted from the follow on of the third series where it was left at the end of the second , whats the point in having an end on the second series where you do not follow it up on the third .!!!!!!!
just wanta know is the show over or what ? and if not whens it comming back on ?
I love falling skies and defiance i think they are both great

Hogan Lovells' Johannesburg office has achieved a level-two Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) accreditation — the only major South African law firm to achieve such a high rating.
BEE is a process recognised by the South African government in the Legal Practice Bill in order to address the redistribution of existing wealth where great disparities were created through the policies of apartheid. BEE accreditation is measured from level one to level eight, with level one the highest.
BEE is governed by the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Act 2003 (B-BBEE) and is measured according to a scorecard that takes into account, among other factors, ownership; management control; employment equity; skills development; enterprise development; socio-economic development; and preferential procurement.
Hogan Lovells' Johannesburg office currently employs 12 B-BBEE partners out of a total of 39 (four male, four female); eight B-BBEE out of 11 senior associates (four male, four female); 15 B-BBEE associates out of 25 (six male, nine female) and 13 B-BBEE out of 27 trainees (four male, nine female).

A trial surrounding the alleged gang rape of teenage girls in the high-rise tower blocks of a poor Paris suburb has shocked France.
It has also exposed a culture of youth violence and threatens to cause a row over the justice system when verdicts in the case are delivered today.
Nina and Stephanie - not their real names - said that for years they were too scared to speak out about what they allege were months of almost daily gang rapes when they were 15 and 16.
The abuse went on while they were growing up on run-down estates in Fontenay-sous-Bois outside Paris.
In 2005, Nina was left unconscious by one final, brutal beating and told a female police officer.
Her claims led to a trial that centred on alleged attacks in Fontenay-sous-Bois between 1999 and 2001.
Nina, now 29, told the newspaper Liberation she moved to the housing estate aged seven with her brother and divorced mother. She was described as good at school and a tomboy.
She said she was 16 and a virgin when one night, returning from the cinema, she was grabbed by a group of youths and taken to basement cellars in the flats. There she was raped and subjected to a series of brutal sex attacks by scores of local boys.
The extremely violent, prolonged attacks by large groups of boys continued daily in car parks, stairwells, apartments and the empty playground of a local nursery school.
She said there would be "at least 25" youths present during attacks in which she screamed, protested, cried and vomited. One witness described 50 boys "queuing" to attack her.
She was told her flat would be burned down if she spoke out and was afraid to even tell her mother, who noticed she was washing eight to 10 times a day. Nina, who has put on 70kg since the attacks, described gaining weight as a "shell" behind which she was able to hide.
She allowed herself to be filmed by the media outside the court to encourage other victims to go to the police.
She said: "It was the accused who should hide, not me."
At the start of the trial, the alleged victims were hailed in the media for their bravery. But the jury trial, held behind closed doors because the accused were minors at the time, took place in a tense atmosphere.
One of the alleged victims, Stephanie, tried to kill herself four days into the hearings. Nina, left infirm by the attacks, was overcome and had to leave court.
The 14 men on trial, now aged between 29 and 33 - many of them married with families and jobs, including one ambulance driver - deny rape. Some of them said sex took place but was consensual and that the alleged victims "liked sex".
The women's lawyers complained that some had dismissed the alleged victims as "liars or nymphomaniacs".
Reports by psychiatric experts concurred that the women had been sexually attacked.
The defendants, if found guilty, could face a maximum of 20 years in prison, but the state prosecutor this week recommended prison sentences of between five and seven years for eight of them, all minors at the time of the attack.
For six others, the prosecutor said there was a "doubt", without elaborating. The women's lawyers said they were shocked by the sentence recommendations.
One further suspect is on the run, another committed suicide in 2004 and three others will be tried in different courts.

text: It is always difficult to judge fit from images, and this is not really the thread for such discussions, but I suspect that he has a relatively long torso (like me). The problem with trousers is that even if they are high-waisted, they look unbalanced ("boyfriend-style") because you cannot lift the crotch, for obvious reasons. With jackets, if they are long enough, they easily look oversize because of the short remaining leg length, if they are just slightly too short, you get the situation here. Having said that, I would prefer to cut the bottom opening slightly rounder and slightly longer than the rear.

Three years ago it was Panama, to overthrow a dictator. Two years ago it was the Gulf, to liberate Kuwait. This year it will be the Horn of Africa, to help to get food to masses of starving Somalis.
Each time Mr Bush went to the American people to plead his case, he promised to have the troops home as soon as possible; this time in six weeks. But according to senior US officers, most of the 28,000-strong force will be there until March or beyond.
In California, Tiffany Cooper fought back the tears as she listened to Mr Bush promise to keep Marines, such as her husband, in Somalia no longer than necessary. 'It sounds a lot like the Gulf war speech,' said Mrs Cooper, whose husband, Corporal Derek Cooper, served in the Gulf. 'I know that 90 days can easily turn into six months, which can turn into nine months,' she said.
With this in mind, thousands of soldiers across America hurried to update wills and life insurance policies, and, in some cases, to get married, before heading to Somalia as part of Operation Restore Hope. The first troops, 1,800 Marines, are already off the Somali coast awaiting orders, that are expected by tomorrow.
'I am feeling more and more comfortable that there will be adequate forces available to pick up this peace-keeping mission, and we can see our way clear of this operation in a few months,' said General Colin Powell, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. US troops, working with contingents from other countries, would be the 'peace-makers', he added, and UN forces would then become the 'peace-keepers.'
Belgium has promised 550 paratroopers. France was sending 2,000 soldiers and Canada 900. Britain offered four transport planes. A 1,500-strong Italian force should arrive before Christmas. Egypt said it was preparing up to 600 soldiers to go to Somalia, and Nigeria and Turkey were also considering deployments. Even Germany's Defence Minister, Volker Ruhe, wants German troops to participate, despite a constitutional ban on Germany operating outside the continent.
General Powell said that after the bulk of the US force had returned home, a group of Marines would remain off Somalia's shores in case the UN force needed protection. Some US troops could start leaving Somalia in January, he said, but he would not name a specific date.
That offered little consolation to Paula Walklett, facing her first Christmas apart from her husband, a Marine lance corporal. 'It makes me sad to see him go, but he believes in it and so do I. We don't want to see people starving.'

Lots of folks think about bug out bags, sometimes too much so. Often overlooked is the more important get home kit. Those things that will make it easier and increase the odds of making it home from work or shopping should something happen.
I have gone thru many iterations of items, kits, and bags over the years. The size and number of items have decreased with knowledge and most importantly time in the field. Below is a photo of the current iteration of the get home kit. Sometimes the kit rides in just this bag, other times it's home is in a pack depending on what is going on.
The kit stays in the car trunk with a broken in pair of shoes and spare socks, as well as an old pair of glasses and a seasonally appropriate jacket.
Now about the contents.
The bag is a quart size plastic bag contained within another quart size bag. This provides for up to 2 water containers and or a spare bag for boiling water. A Sparklite fire starter is in the kit. Sometimes I use a magnesium bar. One large butane lighter. It's best to learn to use many items and don't depend on any one item.
A disposable poncho, space blanket, and 12 feet of 17 pound masons line provide a host of opportunities for protection from the elements. The masons twine can secure the poncho or as a limited shelter be worn around the waist in windy conditions or to hold stuffed leaves or paper for insulation.
The bag contains a single 12 hour light stick because bad situations don't always start in the light of day. The light stick avoids dealing with batteries, flashlights, bulbs, etc. I have yet to have one fail.
There is a simple pocket knife with can and bottle opener. I have found this to be the most useful tool over the years. Lighter and cheaper than a multitool. Actually I think these really are the original multitool.
There is a spare house key, a family photo, and $60 dollars in small bills stashed in the middle of the kit in a separate plastic bag. The kit also features a few small candies and an energy bar. I learned the moral boosting value of a small candy when going thru a survival course without food for a week. The wax paper wrapper is also a tinder fire starter and works well.
The kit contains a bandanna and a balaclava which are two very valuable items. These have so many uses besides the obvious they are wonderful to have. There are 2 gauze pads 3 by 3 in size and 2 packets of wound powder. A packet or small tube of Ibuprofen round it out.
This is the same kit I grab when going hiking or hunting. I have used it many times and am familiar with the contents. These are not have to have items, but make getting thru a tough situation easier.
The kit works in urban and rural settings with equal functionality.
Many of the items are multipurpose, most are inexpensive, and all are readily available. I don't get hung up on expensive items or brand names. Survival is about making do with what you have, not what you wish to have. No amount of gear will make up for inexperience and bad judgement regardless of how much money is spent on the contents.

Good post. If Civil Unrest occurs while you are not at home, a "Get Home Bag" is a good idea.
Mine is similar. Some bottled water, instant coffee (it works dry, too), jumper cables, fix-a-flat, fuse pack for vehicle, minor first aid kit as something (like eye-drops or tweezers) can save you serious misery, LED Flashlight, rope, a 42" piece of clean/painted 3/8 re-bar (LTL weapon), etc.
Mostly what I've always kept in there + blankets in Winter & waters in Summer.

I have a slightly larger bag in my trunk for this same purpose. It has a waterproof blanket, a change of clothes (including sneakers so I don't have to try to walk in my dress work shoes), a first aid kit, coffee filters (for very basic water filtering), a jacket, spare box of ammo for the gun I carry with me most often, a folding knife, multi-tool, flashlight (actually a crank radio/flashlight combo), and a couple of MREs. I also usually have some of my cold weather cycling gear and helmet back in there, and my car emergency kit (reflectors and such) but they are separate from my bag. I keep refining the bag when I get more ideas. Have used it twice. Once I had to pull over and kiss my car goodbye because there was a tornado coming up the highway (by the grace of God it left my car in the place I parked it, but I hadn't expected that to be so, so I snatched the bag and ran for safety, expecting to have to walk a bit) and I was 40 miles from home, another time I got stranded on the highway for six hours because of ice (brought the bag up front just in case, didn't actually need it).

I made this video about a year ago showing what I keep in my bag. I also consider my bag a "get me home bag" and not a bug-out bag. I suppose there are some similarities, though.

August 2, 2011: The question on many of our readers' minds is, "What in the world is Paul Luna, CEO of Portage Resources, Inc (POTG), up to now?"
On August 1, the company announced that not only was Mr. Luna generously cancelling 230,000,000 shares of the common stock he owns, but that the Board of Directors (read: Paul Luna), voted to split the stock on a 10 for 1 basis.
It looks like Mr., Luna isn't happy with the tens of millions he's managed to extract for himself from the pockets of the suckers out there, who collectively lost in excess of $150 million over the last six weeks. Now he's concocted a scheme to extract more. All from the safe confines of Peru.
Let's take a look.
First the cancellation of shares. Do you really think he is just freely giving up stock that not three weeks ago had a market value of $300 million, without an ulterior motive? We're hoping our readers are not that stupid. He gave up nothing but air.
Now pay attention. According to SEC filings, on May 30, 2011, Luna paid $20,000 to own 480,000,000 of 637,200,000 shares, representing 75.33% of the stock. Since then the company has issued another 38,000,000 shares supposedly in land acquisition deals (maybe with himself), so now we're standing at 675,200,000 shares outstanding. Now there is no way, Luna is ever planning on selling all that stock, nor could he. The only thing that matters to Paul Luna is that he maintains control of the company, so that he can continue to milk it. Whether he owns 90%, 60% or 50.0000001% of the stock, control is still control. While he is in control, he can always issue himself more stock, whether it be in lieu of payment for services, or through director stock options, or through employee benefit plans, or any other scheme he can dream up. While he is in control, Luna can manipulate the stock, execute more pump and dump schemes like the one just completed, or anything else he wants to do, all for the purpose of lining his pockets. The cancellation of 230,000,000, while seemingly magnanimous, is actually meaningless. It's all a facade. Notice how he is theoretically still left with 250,000,000 of 407,200,000 shares or 61.3% of the stock. We say theoretically because he has, of course, sold stock into the latest promotion. But he could have (and probably did) sold 30,000,000 shares, which would have netted him over $20 million, and still be in control with 54% of the stock. And we don't even know what stock options he holds today!
So hopefully you get it why the cancellation of the shares is a sham. Paul Luna's only goal is to maintain control of the company. The margin of control is irrelevant.
Now let's look at the forward split.
It is a given that this stock would never see the dollar range again. It has had its run and after all the carnage leftover from the last pump and dump campaign, there is no way the public could be counted on to be stupid enough to take another chance and take it back to a buck. One thing we have preached time and time again when warning about pump and dump campaigns, is that the higher the share price, the farther it has to fall.
Another undeniable truth is that it is easier to get a 3 cent stock to 10 cents, than it is to get a 30 cent stock to $1.00.
Yes percentage-wise, a 3 cent stock rising to 10 cents is the same as a 30 cent stock rising to a dollar, just as a 10 cent stock falling to 3 cents is the same as a dollar stock falling to 30 cents, but the perceptions are different. There is a perception that comes with a 70 cent decline that makes it harder to accept than a 7 cent decline. Similarly, a dupe is less likely to think it is too late to buy a stock just because it has climbed a nickel, than if it has climbed half a buck.
So what does Luna do? He splits the stock 10 for 1 and he'll be just as happy selling 50 million shares @ 7 cents as he would be selling 5 million shares @ 70 cents.
But for now, he'll be content letting the dust settle while he counts his new found riches.
And his pigeons won't even get a Christmas card.

Hah! Good night last night!
I went to a lecture sponsored by Fresno State's philosophy department with Mike Michael Stannard. The talk was by atheist secularist sociologist Phil Zuckerman and featured Zuckerman comparing Jamaica to Denmark in an effort to show that secular, non-religious countries are so much better than religious countries (conveniently ignoring the fact that Denmark has a declining population which is the second oldest in the world.)
It was a target rich environment for questioning.
Because Zuckerman put up this classic atheist cropped picture of "Benedict saluting Hitler" as part of his effort to show that religious people supported tyranny, I asked him if he knew that the full picture presented an entirely different picture? He didn't.
Here it is.
He also said that Hitler was never excommunicated, and I asked him if he knew that (a) all Catholics who belonged to the Nazis were excommunicated in 1930, (b) Catholics were forbidden from voting for Nazis in 1932 and (c) Catholics were kicked out of the German bureaucracy in 1934. He didn't.
I was about to get into the demographic decline of secular Denmark when I was cut off.
It was like a day on Facebook!

USD/JPY Trying To Break The 76.30 Support
USD/JPY Open 76.61 High 76.97 Low 76.30 Close 76.56
On Thursday Dollar/Yen continued decreasing insignificantly with 25 pips, not exactly matching the negative Interbank sentiment at bellow -72%. The currency couple depreciated from 76.71 to 76.44 yesterday, closing the day at 76.56. This morning the Dollar jumped up against the Yen, reaching 76.97, than dropped down to 76.30. On the 1 hour chart quotes are moving within very narrow trading range, while on the 3 hour chart quotes are still fighting the lower limit of the downward channel. Break above today's top and nearest resistance 76.97 would encourage further recovery of the Dollar. Immediate support is today's bottom at 76.30, and consistent break bellow it could strengthen the Yen further down towards next target 75.43. Today is Japan All industry index at 4:30 GMT. Quotes are moving just bellow the almost even 20 and 50 EMA on the 1 hour chart, indicating slim bearish pressure. The value of the RSI indicator is negative and calm, MACD is neutral and tranquil, while CCI has thinly crossed down the 100 line on the 1 hour chart, giving overall light short signals.

Synopsis :
The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related
Description :
The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200704-02
(MIT Kerberos 5: Arbitrary remote code execution)
The Kerberos telnet daemon fails to properly handle usernames allowing
unauthorized access to any account (CVE-2007-0956). The Kerberos
administration daemon, the KDC and possibly other applications using
the MIT Kerberos libraries are vulnerable to the following issues. The
krb5_klog_syslog function from the kadm5 library fails to properly
validate input leading to a stack overflow (CVE-2007-0957). The GSS-API
library is vulnerable to a double-free attack (CVE-2007-1216).
Impact :
By exploiting the telnet vulnerability a remote attacker may obtain
access with root privileges. The remaining vulnerabilities may allow an
authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with root
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution :
All MIT Kerberos 5 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=app-crypt/mit-krb5-1.5.2-r1'
Risk factor :
High / CVSS Base Score : 9.0
Public Exploit Available : true
