The Story (continued)
A Clockwork Orange (1971)
In a memorable, sado-masochistic sequence, there is a successful demonstration of Alex's learned lessons - of how his behavior has been reformed and conformed - "actions speak louder." In a two-part play, Alex is first insulted, humiliated and attacked by Lardface (John Clive) - an abusive, curly-haired, homosexual man who calls the passive Alex a smelly "heap of dirt." After slapping Alex across the face, stamping on his toes, twisting his nose, pulling his ears, and pushing him over, Alex is forced to lick his shoe in subservience. As an obedient zombie, he suffers tremendous sickness and revulsion against violence:
Alex (voice-over): And, O my brothers, would you believe your faithful friend and long suffering narrator pushed out his red yahzik a mile-and-a-half to lick the grahzny, vonny boots...The horrible killing sickness had whooshed up, and turned the like joy of battle into a feeling I was going to snuff it. (The audience applauds as the stage actor bows to them.)
In a second demonstration to the tune of "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary," he is tempted before a stage actress (Virginia Wetherell), a half-nude woman wearing only bikini panties. Eyes glazed and on his knees, Alex lustfully reaches out for her breasts (filmed both from a low angle and an overhead shot to emphasize their firm ripeness). As he cups his hands tantalizingly close to her pink-nippled, fleshy protuberances, his urge for sex instantly turns to an urge to vomit and he falls to the floor belching to his former passion:
Alex (voice-over): She came towards me with the light like it was the like light of heavenly grace, and the first thing that flashed into my gulliver was that I'd like to have her right down there on the floor with the old in-out, real savage. But as quick as a shot came the sickness, like a detective that had been watching around the corner and now followed to make his arrest. (She curtsies to audience applause before exiting from the demonstration.)
The Minister summarizes Alex's cure to the audience: "Our subject is impelled towards the good by paradoxically being impelled towards evil. The intention to act violently is accompanied by strong feelings of physical distress. To counter these, the subject has to switch to a diametrically opposed attitude. Any questions?"
Although pronounced cured, the prison chaplain objects that in actuality, Alex has been deprived of his free will with the shock therapy that has nauseated him. He is not a free man but "a clockwork orange" - a mechanically-responsive non-human:
Chaplain: Choice! The boy has no real choice, has he? Self-interest, the fear of physical pain drove him to that grotesque act of self-abasement. Its insincerity was clearly to be seen. He ceases to be a wrong-doer. He ceases also to be a creature capable of moral choice.
Minister: Padre, these are subtleties! We are not concerned with motives, with the higher ethics. We are concerned only with cutting down crime. And with relieving the ghastly congestion in our prisons. He will be your true Christian, ready to turn the other cheek, ready to be crucified rather than crucify. Sick to the very heart at the thought even of killing a fly. Reclamation, joy before the angels of God. The point is that it works!
Alex (voice-over): And the very next day, your Friend and Humble Narrator was a free man.
To the jaunty song, "I Want to Marry A Lighthouse Keeper," Alex returns home. He finds his parents reading newspapers with headlines: "Cat-Woman Killer Alex Freed," "'Crime Cure' Will Strengthen Law and Order Policy," and "Murderer freed: 'Science has cure'." His parents are bewildered and surprised by his unexpected return. Alex proudly pronounces himself "cured": "They did a great job on me. I'm completely reformed." He discovers that he has been displaced from his own house - his parents have rented his room to the "strange fella sitting in the sofa munchy wunching lomticks of toast" - Joe (Clive Francis), the new teenaged lodger, who has quickly become like a son to them. Instead of being civil, Joe immediately criticizes Alex: "I've heard about you. I know what you've done. Breaking the hearts of your poor grieving parents. So you're back, eh? You're back to make life a misery for your lovely parents once more, is that it?"
When Alex cocks his arm back to punch Joe, it causes him to belch and retch violently, and he stumbles into a chair:
Pee: Are you all right, lad?
Em: Dad...it's the treatment.
Joe: Well, it's disgusting. I mean, it's enough to put you off your food.
Em: Oh leave him be, Joe, it's the treatment.
Frail and crushed by despotic training and brainwashing, Alex becomes a victim of violence himself, totally unprepared and helpless to cope with the real world when he is returned to society. Alex also learns that all of his personal things were taken away by the police due to "new regulations...about compensation for the victims." Basil his snake, has passed away, and Pee stammers that Joe cannot be asked to leave because he has already paid next month's rent. Truly suffering, Alex weeps after hearing Joe disdainfully chastise him and take his place:
You've been like a father and mother to me. Well, it wouldn't be fair now or right, I mean, for me to go off and leave you two to the tender mercies of this young monster, who's been like no real son at all. Look, he's weeping now. But that's all his craft and artfulness. Let him go and find a room somewhere else. Let him learn the errors of his way, and that a bad boy like he's been doesn't deserve such a good mum and dad as he's had...You've made others suffer. It's only right that you should suffer proper.
Unable to defend himself, Alex leaves the flat and announces he will make his own way in life:
Right, I'm leaving now. You won't ever viddy me no more. I'll make me own way. Thank you very much. Let it lie heavy on your consciences.
During the remainder of the film, Alex is helplessly assaulted or rejected by the other people from his past who had been his abused victims, but he cannot retaliate in each case. The revenge-seeking former victims include: the drunken old bum, former gang members, and widower of the rape victim - leftist writer Mr. Alexander.
Along the banks of the Thames, accompanied by a slow movement within the "William Tell Overture," Alex sadly walks and contemplates committing suicide in its waters. The Tramp which he assaulted with his droogs earlier in the film recognizes him, and drags him to a dark underpass where other toothless, stubbly-faced bums are encouraged to join in the bashing during the vengeful attack: "This is the poisonous young swine that near done me in. Him and his friends, they beat me and kicked me and punched me. Stop him, stop him. They laughed at my blood and my moans. This murderous young pig."
Alex (voice-over): Then there was like a sea of dirty smelly old men, trying to get at your Humble Narrator, with their feeble rookers and horny old claws. (Close-ups of rage-filled, grubby faces of the bums fill the screen) It was old age having a go at youth, and I daren't do a single, solitary thing, O my brothers, it being better to be hit at like that than want to sick and feel that horrible pain.
Two young policemen rescue Alex - they turn out to be Georgie and Dim, two of his former Droogs, who have since joined the increasingly-violent, fascist state to impose law and order. Alex is shocked when he recognizes them and Georgie explains that they are now on the side of the law:
Nothing up our sleeves. No magic, little Alex. A job for two who are now of job age.
Now belching and choking, Alex is roughly dragged to their patrol car and driven into the country. As he is led out of the vehicle with handcuffs, Alex feebly jokes:
The old days are dead and gone. For what I did in the past, I've been punished...I've been cured.
As they lead him down a forested, muddy lane, in a long tracking shot filmed with a hand-held camera from behind, accompanied by a Moog synthesizer playing "Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary," Dim wants to make sure that he remains cured: "This is to make sure you stay cured." When they reach a water trough, Georgie viciously hits Alex in the stomach with his blackjack club, doubling him over. For retribution, Dim pushes him headfirst under the water and holds him there, while Georgie methodically beats him with his nightstick.
After the vicious beating, lightning strikes as Alex stumbles down a torrential rainy night road. Coincidentally, he comes upon a panel sign welcoming him: "HOME," in another scene filmed with a hand-held camera:
Alex (voice-over): Where was I to go, who had no home and no money? I cried for myself. Home, home, home. It was home I was wanting and it was Home I came to, brothers, not realizing in the state I was in, where I was and had been before.
In the Alexander home, the old widower is typing at his IBM typewriter, now impotent, crippled, and confined to a wheelchair. He has a newspaper lying on his desk with headlines: "SCIENTISTS HAVE CURE FOR CRIME." Alex is admitted to the Alexander home by a young, giant weightlifter/male manservant named Julian (David Prowse, the future Darth Vader in the Star Wars trilogy). The bloody-faced victim gasps at the door that he was beaten up. He isn't immediately recognized because of the disguise-mask he wore during his first visit to the home:
Alex (voice-over): And would you believe it. O my brothers and only friends there was your Faithful Narrator being held helpless, like a babe in arms, and suddenly realizing where he was and why 'Home' on the gate had looked so familiar. But I knew I was safe. I knew he would not remember me. For in those carefree days, I and my so-called droogs wore our maskies, which were like real horrorshow disguises.
For a shocking second, Alex thinks he has been recognized when the writer exclaims:
I know you! (Long pause) Isn't it your picture in the newspapers? Didn't I see you on the video this morning? Are you not the poor victim of this horrible new technique?
Wishing to capitalize on the horrible experiences of the treatment, Mr. Alexander excitedly welcomes Alex into his home as a victim of the police. Alex is offered a warm bath and as he soaks in the tub and hears water dripping in the echoing bathroom, he starts quietly and involuntarily humming "Singin' in the Rain." In the other room, Mr. Alexander crouches down and phones some of his Leftist associates, to explain how they can plot to use Alex as "the most potent weapon imaginable" to discredit the government's new approach to dealing with crime to "the people - the common people":
Recruiting brutal young roughs into the police, proposing debilitating and will-sapping techniques of conditioning. Oh, we've seen it all before in other countries. The thin end of the wedge. Before we know where we are, we shall have the full apparatus of totalitarianism. This young boy is a living witness to these diabolical proposals. The people - the common people - must know, must see. There are great traditions of liberty to defend. The tradition of liberty is all. The common people will let it go. Oh yes. They will sell liberty for a quieter life - that is why they must be led, sir, driven, pushed!!
As Mr. Alexander becomes more aware of the echoing sounds of "Singin' in the Rain" emanating from the bathroom, he wheels his wheelchair over to the door - and then his twisted, distorted, apoplectic face, shot from below, expresses his horror. He knows that Alex was one of the hoodlums who earlier had invaded his house and left him a crippled widower.
Alex sits by himself in a dressing gown over a dinner of spaghetti and a bottle of wine. After the muscle-bound weightlifter carries Mr. Alexander into the room seated upon his wheelchair, Alex senses something fatefully foreboding will happen to him. Glasses of wine (drugged) are offered to him. Mr. Alexander's voice trembles, his eyes bulge and his body shakes, and he grits and bares his teeth - anticipating the retribution that Alex deserves. Unwisely, Alex asks about Mr. Alexander's wife - "a victim of the modern age":
Alex: Your wife, sir, is she away?
Mr. Alexander: NO, SHE'S DEAD!
Alex: I'm sorry to hear about that, sir.
Mr. Alexander: (intensely) She was very badly raped, you see. We were assaulted by a gang of vicious young hoodlums in this house, in this very room you are sitting in now. I was left a helpless cripple, but for her, the agony was too great. The doctors said it was pneumonia because it happened some months later during a flu epidemic. The doctors told me it was pneumonia but I knew what it was. A victim of the modern age - poor, poor girl. (He wheels his chair closer to Alex) And now, you, another victim of the modern age, but you can be helped.
[There is a curious homosexual subtext to this scene - Mr. Alexander appears to have forsaken a woman as a life companion, after the brutal rape of his wife - although she allegedly died of pneumonia!] Two of Mr. Alexander's fellow conspirators/associates who were phoned arrive - they are both interested in Alex's case: a fat, bald intellectual man named Dolin and a blonde female named Rubinstein. They have learned that Alex has been conditioned against music too: "...in addition to your being conditioned against acts of sex and violence, you've inadvertently been conditioned against music." The government's inhumane, inadequate technique to cure crime is causing Alex to have the same reaction to the playing of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony as he has to sex and violence. Alex explains the sensation of hearing the Ninth: "I can't listen to the Ninth anymore at all. When I hear the Ninth, I get like this funny feeling and then, all I can think about is like trying to snuff it...death, I mean...I just want to die peacefully, like, with no pain." Suddenly a few moments later, the drug in the wine takes effect and Alex collapses face-first into his plate of spaghetti.
When Alex awakens, he finds himself belching and locked in a lavender wall-papered attic bedroom of Dolin's Country Manor, with the sound of Beethoven's Ninth pouring up from below:
Alex (voice-over): I woke up. The pain and sickness all over me like an animal. Then I realized what it was. The music coming up from the floor was our old friend, Ludwig van, and the dreaded Ninth Symphony.
Alex staggers around, crying out: "Turn it off!! Stop it!!" Downstairs, the conspirators fiendishly turns up the volume, with Mr. Alexander especially delighted with his revenge and torture. In despair, Alex suicidally throws himself out of the upstairs window. In a spectacular subjective shot, he plunges to the pavement below [the camera was literally thrown out of the window], but survives the fall:
Alex (voice-over): Suddenly, I viddied what I had to do, and what I had wanted to do, and that was to do myself in; to snuff it, to blast off for ever out of this wicked, cruel world. One moment of pain perhaps and, then, sleep for ever, and ever and ever. (After the suicidal jump, the screen turns black)
Taken to a hospital following the suicide attempt, in a long panning shot from right to left up his immobile, convalescing body, Alex wakes up in a hospital ward, both his legs in traction and his head wrapped in gauze and a cast. He has literally "fallen" from his mechanistic behaviorism to his old self:
Alex (voice-over): I jumped, O my brothers, and I fell hard, but I did not snuff it. If I had snuffed it, I would not be here to tell what I have told. I came back to life, after a long black, black gap of what might have been a million years.
Alex's moans are coupled in a duet with the moans of a night doctor and nurse making love from behind a screened-off bed. As they adjust their clothes, the nurse exclaims: "Oh, he's recovered consciousness, Doctor." A montage of newspaper headlines highlights the embarrassment of the government over its inhuman experiments that motivated Alex's attempted suicide. The Ludovico Technique calls "into question the whole policy of law and order which it had made a plank in its election programme." He has been turned over to the opponents of the government, who wish to reverse his conditioning, and hailed as a victim of inhuman criminal reform methods:
Government accused of inhuman means in crime reform - Boy attempts suicide
Minister is Accused of Inhuman Cure - 'Alex driven to suicide by scientists'
'Government is Murderer' - Doctors charge as Alex recovers
Storm Over 'Crime Cure' Boy - Doctors blame government scientists for 'changing Alex's nature' [Note the in-joke: The story inaccurately reads, "Doctors last night blamed secret laboratory experiments on criminals for causing Alex Burgess, the 'Cat-Woman Killer,' to attempt suicide."]
Alex's death bid blamed on brain men - Minister under attack
Alex's father and mother visit him in the hospital, and a point-of-view shot shows them leaning over his bed. They blame the government for the great wrongs done to him that led to his suicide attempt: "...the Government drove you to try and do yourself in." They accept some of the blame, apologizing and begging him to return home: "Your home's your home when all's said and done, son."
Alex's next visitor is psychiatrist Dr. Taylor (Pauline Taylor), and he tells her about concerns over "very nasty" dreams he has been experiencing:
Well, like all these doctors were playing around with my gulliver, you know, like the inside of my brain. I seemed to have this dream over and over again.
After cheerfully dismissing his complaint as "all part of the recovery process," she shows him slide-show cartoons which he is to caption with "the first thing that pops" into his mind. His responses reveal that there is the possibility that someone has been tinkering with the inside of his brain, deconditioning him and returning him to his old self. His responses to the slides reveal childish, violent cravings:
Slide Description
Caption and Alex's Response
Two men look at a peacock First man: Isn't the plumage beautiful?
Second man (Alex's response): Cabbages, Knickers, It's not got a beak.
A woman speaks to two other people Woman: The boy you always quarreled with is seriously ill.
Response (Alex's): ...And I'll smash your face for you, yarblockos.
A man enters a nude lady's bedroom. Lady: What do you want?
Man (Alex's response): No time for the old in and out, love. I've just come to read the meter.
A customer tries to return a useless watch to a store. Customer: You sold me a crummy watch. I want my money back.
Store Owner (Alex's response): Do you know what you can do with that watch? - Stick it up your arse.
A woman hands a bird's nest with eggs to a man. Woman: You can do whatever you like with these.
Man: Eggiwegs, I would like to smash 'em and pick 'em all up, and...
His answers reveal that the evil gleam of terror of his former "uncured," raping and maiming self is returning to his eyes - "well on the way to making a complete recovery." Alex is told "it won't be long now" until he gets out of the hospital.
The Minister of the Interior, Alex's next "very special visitor," embarrassed by Alex's death wish and "deeply sorry," explains how he has authorized the undoing of the effects of the Ludovico Technique and attempted to restore Alex to his previous condition (with the freedom of choice and therefore the right to take pleasure in violence). As the Minister feeds Alex spoonfuls of his dinner, Alex behaves like a newborn bird in a nest with its mouth open for every morsel of food - symbolically, the spoon-fed child of the corrupt totalitarian society.
The Minister apologizes patronizingly, feeling "deeply sorry about this." He explains how the menacing Frank Alexander ("a writer of subversive literature") was made a political prisoner and put away ("for his own protection"). He also assures Alex that he will leave the hospital with a guaranteed job and good salary if he can be "instrumental in changing the public's verdict" by presenting a respectable front and promoting the Government's party ("We always help our friends, don't we?"). The Minister effectively seduces Alex over to the government's side:
Minister: We tried to help you. We followed recommendations which were made to us that turned out to be wrong. An inquiry will place the responsibility where it belongs. We want you to regard us as friends. We put you right. You are getting the best of treatment. We never wished you harm, but there are some who did, and do, and I think you know who those are. There are certain people who wanted to use you for political ends. They would have been glad to have you dead, for they thought they could then blame it all on the Government. There is also a certain man, a writer of subversive literature, who has been howling for your blood. He has been mad with desire to stick a knife into you but you are safe from him now. We put him away. He found out that you had done wrong to him. At least he believed you had done wrong. He formed this idea in his head that you had been responsible for the death of someone near and dear to him. He was a menace. We put him away for his own protection, and also for yours...We are interested in you and when you leave here you will have no worries. We shall see to everything - a good job on a good salary.
Alex: What job and how much?
Minister: You must have an interesting job with a salary which you would regard as adequate, not only for the job that you're going to do, and in compensation for what you believe you have suffered, but also because you are helping us.
Alex: Helping you, sir?
Minister: We always help our friends, don't we? [Alex dramatically opens his mouth to be spoon fed, and the Minister complies.] It is no secret that this Government has lost a lot of popularity because of you, my boy. There are some who think that at the next election, we shall be out. The press has chosen to take a very unfavorable view of what we tried to do. But public opinion has a way of changing, and you...you can be instrumental in changing the public's verdict.
Their perverse bargain and alliance are agreed upon and the deal is cemented - Alex is bought off by the Government and the Minister as a figure of the conservative Right:
Minister: Do you understand, Alex? Do I make myself clear?
Alex: As an unmuddied lake, Fred. As clear as an azure sky of deepest summer. You can rely on me, Fred. [Note: Earlier in the film, Alex assured his probation officer Mr. Deltoid and used the exact same words]
As a surprise, attendants bring arrangements of flowers and fruit to the new celebrity figure. A hi-fi stereo system with stereo amplifiers is wheeled in to play the triumphal "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's Ninth, and dozens of reporters and photographers rush into the room to take pictures. The smiling, beguiling Minister poses for a picture beside Alex to take credit for their alliance:
...as a symbol of our new understanding - an understanding between two friends.
Alex offers a thumbs-up gesture and mugs for the cameras. And then suddenly, his eyes glaze and roll back (in a semi-Kubrick stare) and an enigmatic dream-like image comes on the screen - Alex, now "cured," returns to his former self - with his free will intact and with his old proclivities for sex and violence. The final scene emphasizes the enormity of the state's hypocrisy. In his Ascot fantasy, a nude Alex finds peace and fantasizes copulating (making love to/raping?) with a beautiful blonde woman (Katya Wyeth) who wears only black silk stockings. They are frolicking in slow-motion on piles of white snow, while two rows of genteel-looking, Victorian Londoners (ladies and gentlemen), the men dressed in top hats and the women carrying parasols, look on and sedately applaud toward them. Alex has reverted to his old, pre-conditioned behavior:
Alex (voice-over): (triumphantly and sardonically) I was cured all right.
The film implies that Alex is not cured -- rather, he is still "a clockwork orange" lacking free will, only programmed by the government in the completely opposite direction. [In Anthony Burgess' original novel, however, there was a considerably different, more optimistic conclusion in an additional chapter -- Alex was actually healthy, 'cured', and normal after treatment. Published American editions of the novel deleted Burgess' original conclusion.]
During the closing credits, Gene Kelly's original rendition of Singin' in the Rain, Alex's theme song that accompanies brutal atrocities, is reprised on the soundtrack. [This wasn't the first time that Kubrick ended a film with a familiar song. Dr. Strangelove, Or:... (1968) ended with Vera Lynn singing "We'll Meet Again Some Sunny Day", and Full Metal Jacket (1987) would end with the Marines singing "The Mickey Mouse Club Theme."]

I hunt around the Wildwood area on a fairly regular basis but I never seem to run into any Old Squaws, Buffies, etc.
I have a 14' Broadbill boat and was wondering if this is adequate enough to handle the big water associated with sea duck hunting.
Also can anyone suggest any areas in South Jersey where it might be possible to set up for sea ducks with the rig I have.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Front end scraping noise
Alright, im a big dude (250lb) so this may not happen to every one but when i corner hard to the right I get a scraping noise, especially if i have a passenger w/ me. I havent removed the wheel to inspect yet, only had the car for a few weeks now but from what I can tell the noise is coming from the front valance scraping the ground, is this something that happens often? am I correct in my assumption? If so, what can I do to help. Sway bar upgrade? looking to upgrade sways and do the strut tower braces within the year anyways but if im looking at some sort of shock or strut replacement needed those mods will be put on the back burner for some COs. and if the front valance is scraping as much as ive seen in these few weeks is there something I can do to keep it from wearing out not wanting to have to replace this part, seems hard to find from what I can tell.
EDIT: NVM already found a replacement for under $40. not buying it though. Mine for now seems OK when I see a hole I will be replacing it though.

Had shitty rock krawler coilovers on the front of my rig and the drivers side blew apart after about 6 months so im having the whole front suspension custom done with new longer ads coilovers instead. Just had a custom high steer setup installed too along with gen right hi fenders up front. Can't wait 2 have it done and go wheelin again
My a/c can barely keep up as well. Glad my commute is way short.
Waiting for my PoisonSpyder louver to get back from the powdercoater-I have high expectations for that mod. My engine is pinging like crazy on Chevron 87 and it doesn't want to start right up when it's really heated up-cranky beeotch.
I've always stayed away from hot areas. My motto is this: Its easier to warm up then cool down.(when people complain its too cold up here)
Thats why I stay north and I mean 9 hours(by drive) north of the border of Canada/US :)
I can handle hot but , 118 is killer ! They say its ok cause it's a Dry Heat, yeah well so is an Oven. Only good thing is I've never had to shovel the Heat off my steps or Driveway. Lol
Haha yup no shoveling heat here lol and still 118 is dsm hot i am from phx and i know it well ill still pick this over maryland summers lol stupid humidity
Honestly, I am sick of this increasing heat and higher humidity. I'm a native, but the heat is too much for me to handle as I get older.
Yeah, I hear ya ! I wanna talk to someone in charge ! This is no way to run a Desert !
The cool weather is almost here, just hold on for 4 more months.
Is not bad in flagstaff. . I was up there about a week ago hitting some trails. ..

What color is the blotch?
Is it raised?
Where does it appear and where does it move to?
How long before it disappears?
Does it return?
Thanks, XXXXX XXXXX await your reply.
Thank you for the extra added detail.
This is a very unusual symptom, being that it appears every 6 months and lasts 2 weeks and has an unknown origin. I strongly recommend that you have a dermatologist evaluate it when it is apparent. Perhaps he will culture it, or will most likely recognize its appearance and then be able to treat it.
I wish you well!

The Totally NEW Team Corwin Thread

Well, thank you for that run. You probably can't imagine how tired I was, or can you ?
Originally I wanted to get up on 8-9 in the morning again - which would have given me exactly 4-5 hours of sleep … I decided to … expand it regardless into waking up on 10 in the morning, which was much, much better … I was still tired throughout 2/3 of the day …
The small event I wanted to go to had something to do with … what's the word ? intellectual giftedness ? It was carried out my
, and there were several lectures/speeches presenting several topics within the broad field of intellectuual giftedness (see the Wikipedia article for more on the matter).
I was particularly keen on witnessing a speech regarding high sensitivity & high intellectual giftedness. The view spreads slowly, but steadily, more and more that both often appear in an conjunction. HSPs are often intellectual gifted ones, too.
And that was interesting - as was a much later speech regarding adults (age 40+) who had *never* been found to actually be intellectually gifted … And who had often suffered because of that. The speaker showed it by her own example that intellectually gifted people often, imho far too often get dominated by "normal" people - and are as a result losing themselves. Because they are so much more different, especially in their giftedness, the pressure is so more higher to adapt to the normal people the more different they are. The speaker's book had the example of a cat having learned to live as a dog, but suddenly awaking and noticing to *actually* be a cat, and *not* a dog , as the title.
And this phenomenon works fopr both highly sensitive people and intellectually gifted people - and in very often cases people are both at the same time !
Okay, back into online gaming : I finally bought myself the "Standard Edition" of SWTOR.
It is going to F2P at one point this fall, so I thought : Why not get the benefit of having a full game version of it ? The game alone has become very cheap.
But the "Game Time Cards" are not ! But I need at least 1 to become a kind of "Premium" account - similar to DDO, isn't it ?
Well, that's not the end ! If you read through SWTOR descriptions, you'll notice how similar a lot of things are.
Cartel Coins = Turbine Points
VIP = Premium
For SWTOR, however, there is no "middle thing" / middle tier like the DDO Premium.
The only thing behaving like the DDO Premium with the buy of Turbine Point Cards is the Game Time Card of SWTOR - if you use them in SWTOR, you automatically become Premium. You can cancel this (the paid playing time, paid either with credit card, paypal or with an "Game Time Card") at any time, thus becoming F2P again - only that right now there is no F2P yet, only P2P.
So, with F2P not being there for SWTOR yet, this means that if you cancel, you are just on hiatus, paused, in limbo, in stasis, or how one would call it. You just can't play with a paused account now.
But the other stuff is soo much similar : Crafting is there, auction house - like thing is there, raids are there, PvP is there - they only have different names.
Even this is similar : P2P vs. F2P of SWTOR chart :
Seems to me as if there is kind of "industry standard" right now, regarding MMOs …
And tomorrow I'll sleep far into the day !
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction. (E.F.Schumacher, Economist,

- CORTECS C 18+ Column is a general-purpose reversed-phase column with a positively charged surface that delivers excellent peak shape for basic compounds at low pH.
- CORTECS HILIC Column is designed for the retention of extremely polar analytes while offering orthogonal selectivity versus C 18 columns.
AMSTERDAM, June 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today introduced CORTECS™ Columns, a new family of 1.6 micron solid-core UltraPerformance LC ® Columns that set a new standard in LC column performance. The higher efficiency brought to chromatography with CORTECS Columns allows laboratories to produce greater amounts of information faster with every chromatographic separation. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130617/NY32625)(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110707/NE31586LOGO) Available in C 18, C 18+ or HILIC chemistries, Waters offers the columns in 30 unique column configurations and is making them available for shipping worldwide. Waters introduced the new columns at HPLC 2013, the 39 th Annual Symposium on High Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques. The industry's most significant new column introduction in years, when used together with the low-dispersion Waters ® ACQUITY UPLC ®, ACQUITY UPLC I-Class and ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Systems, CORTECS Columns offer previously unattainable levels of performance. "With the introduction of CORTECS columns, Waters is again responding to the need of laboratories for greater resolution, speed and sensitivity," said Michael Yelle, Vice President, Consumables Business Operations, Waters Division. "This family of columns represents a leap forward in chromatographic particle design, column hardware, packing technology and, most importantly, overall performance." CORTECS Column particles feature a solid, impermeable silica core encased in a porous silica outer layer where the interactions between the stationary phase and the analytes occur.

Going from the bottom to the top with my Klipsch A5i All Sport In-Ear Headphones.
I'm sorry, everyone, about the scene I made last night. It was rude of me not to countdown from ten with the rest of you. But, you see, I had my own countdown that I was listening to on my Klipsch A5i All Sport In-Ear Headphones, a personalized countdown that summarized my 2013 from start to finish. Here's what it was:
Ten was the sound of a middle c being struck on a baby grand, because 2013 was the year I resolved I would finally learn to play piano.
Nine was the sound of nine cats meowing in unison, to represent each of the nine cats that came to live in the crawlspace under my house.
Eight was the sound of a car honk. This, of course, relates to the fact that my car was repossessed in February. If you listen closely, you can hear that it's a honk good-bye.
Seven is the same sound as nine, except played in reverse, because each of those nine cats living in my crawlspace eventually left me. Even the strays can't stand my night terrors.
Six through three were balloons popping, to symbolize my various bubbles bursting. Three were symbolic bubbles - my career, my relationship, my perception of the future. The fourth was literal - I chewed some gum and blew a bubble so large that its burst sent me to the emergency room.
Two was the sound of of a piano crashing to the ground due to the tragic way in which my piano lessons ended. I don't want to get into it. It's a long story, filled with many tears.
And then, of course, I screamed Happy New Year, except in Russian. I feel the harsher sounds of their language suit me better.
Now, this wouldn't have been such a distraction, had I not made each noise as loud as possible when it played over my Klipsch A5i All Sport In-Ear Headphones. Anyway, sorry again, and С Новым годом to everyone.

UPDATE 6:30 P.M.: Per a Wizards spokesman, Porter officially has been ruled out of Wednesday night's game and is day-to-day moving forward.
The Washington Wizards wrapped up the opening round of NBA summer league play in Las Vegas with a 97-69 win over the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night. Jan Vesely led the way with 18 points on 9-of-11 shooting, but first-round draft pick Otto Porter Jr. left the game after only 6 1/2 minutes after his right hamstring tightened up.
The Wizards have yet to make any official announcement on Porter's injury, but according to an in-game live chat at WashingtonWizards.com, the team might hold him out Wednesday's game if the injury doesn't improve.
"I'll definitely be safe with this," Porter told reporters after the game in a video posted at MonumentalNetwork.com. "I really don't know yet. I'll see how I feel in the morning.
Not that it's really serious, I just don't want it to become serious."
Porter added that he didn't suffer the injury on one specific play, but that it "slowly happened." He said that even if he misses the rest of summer league, he still will be in good shape entering training camp.
"I feel like I'm up to speed," he said. "It only took me a couple days for me to actually be up to speed."
Here's a look at the interview with Porter that was posted at MonumentalNetwork.com.
The Wizards went 1-2 in the opening round of summer league, earning the No. 12 seed in the single-elimination tournament that follows. Washington plays the 21st-seeded Memphis Grizzlies at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday. With a win, the Wizards will face No. 5 Charlotte on Thursday at 6:30 p.m. With a loss, Washington will face the loser of Wednesday's New Orleans-Denver game in their summer league finale on Friday at 6:30 p.m.

MADRID – The defending champion United States and host Spain both breezed to comfortable victories on Saturday during the first day of the 2014 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
Eight players scored at least nine points, led by Klay Thompson's 18, as the U.S. blasted Finland 114-55 to start the defense of its crown from 2010. DeMarcus Cousins added nine points and 10 rebounds for the Americans in Group C in Bilbao.
Finland, which got 12 points from Shawn Huff, scored just two points in the second quarter and never challenged.
Spain got 33 points from Pau Gasol and 15 points and 10 rebounds from Marc Gasol in a dominant 90-60 win over Iran in Group A in Granada.
Group A also saw a mild surprise as wild card recipient Brazil knocked off 2013 European champion France 65-63 as Marcelo Huertas paced the winners with 16 points.

Meets MWF 9:00AM-10:00AM CLA 1.106
Course Description
Inequality is a defining issue of our time. Income inequality has increased significantly and gender, racial/ethnic and class inequities largely define people's life chances. But what can we do about these pressing social problems? Some propose taxation, others call for an increase in the minimum wage and better social services. Still others consider inequality at it source: "If you don't want inequality, don't distribute income unequally in the first place" (Wolff quoted in Dewan 2012). This course zooms in on the workplace as a possible site of social change. It will begin by taking students back to the Industrial Revolution to examine the emergence of work under capitalism and the production of inequality in work organizations. Next, it will introduce theories of inequality and examine alternative work organizations such as worker cooperatives, analyzing how they compare to capitalist workplaces and how they may address workplace inequality. The second half of the course provides students an opportunity to critically evaluate four proposals to address inequality in the workplace. Overall, the three main learning objectives are: (1) to provide students with a historical understanding of the emergence and nature of capitalist work arrangements; (2) to introduce theories that explain the emergence and persistence of inequality in the workplace; and (3) to critically examine proposals for the future of work.
This course draws on a variety of readings, including book chapters, journal articles and articles from popular media. All journal articles can be downloaded off the Univeristy of Texas Libraries website. Book chapters can be found in PDF form on Canvas. All books can be purchased in the University Co-op or online. One copy of each will be put on reserve at the PCL.
Exams and Grading
The final grade in the course is made up of a mid-term exam (35%), which will be given the week before spring break, four assignments (20%), regular class participation (10%) and a project (35%) that is due at the end of the semester. There is no final exam for this course.

This is a press release submitted to the Las Vegas Sun. It has not been verified or edited by the Sun.
Press Release
Painting Exhibit by renown local artist Michael Griesgraber
Published on Thu, Jun 13, 2013 (9:13 a.m.)For Immediate Release
Date: June 14, 2013
Contact: Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art
Phone: (702) 382-2926
What: Colors Square Route: New Paintings by Michael Griesgraber
Southern Nevada Museum of Fine Art announces a solo exhibition featuring recent contemporary paintings by Michael Griesgraber.
The artist has created exciting re-interpretations of the Color Field School that emerge in the 1960's in reaction to Abstract Expressionism.
Griesgraber's paintings are hard-edge compositions employing a bold palate of colors that are an exploration of color interaction within geometric shapes confined to a square format.
"I chose a square format because of its enigmatic simplicity of four equal sides and four equal angles. It presents any number of interesting options and challenges," said Griesgraber.
The works will remind viewers of a particular group of artists, among them, Ellsworth Kelly, Victor Vasarely, Joseph Albers, Frank Stella, combined with the color theories of Hans Hofmann.
The paintings are a interpretation of how an art form from a previous generation can be re-examined and pushed in new directions, resulting in a new application of the ideas and principals of the Color Field School movement and its significance.
Listed in Who's Who in American Art 2011, Griesgraber is an internationally know artist. He earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Studio Arts from the University of Minnesota, and his Master of Fine Arts degree from New York's Syracuse University. He began his career in art as the assistant design curator for the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis. He currently resides and works in Las Vegas.

FAQs - Visiting Campus
What options are available to visit campus?
Students are welcome to arrange visits individually or attend one of our scheduled Open Houses, Spotlight Days or overnight visits held throughout the year.
What happens at a campus visit?
Generally, an individual campus visit begins with a tour of our gorgeous 471-acre campus by a current Messiah student. The tour takes about an hour and includes stops at a residence hall, academic buildings, the library, the student union, indoor athletic facilities, the performing arts center and more. After the tour, enjoy the opportunity to meet with an Admissions Counselor who will talk with you about life after high school. Find out how your interests and Messiah College can merge in a dynamic way.

Samsung released quite a few variants of the Galaxy S 4, and recent rumors suggest that it'll do the same with its new Galaxy S5. According to a tip that we've received, one of those variants will be a Galaxy S5 Active.
A source has informed us that Samsung is prepping a successor to the Galaxy S4 Active that'll debut on AT&T, just like the S4 Active. The S5 will reportedly launch on June 14 and will be available in green, gray and red color options.
While still unconfirmed, some of these details line up with a recent report from @evleaks. He claims that AT&T's S5 Active will feature the model number SM-G870A and will be available in "dark green, greenish blue, ruby red, titanium silver."
The new Galaxy S5 is resistant to dust and water, but it's possible that Samsung may still want to offer a slightly more ruggedized version of its new flagship. If it does, it makes sense that such a device would land on AT&T since Ol' Blue was the only U.S. carrier that offered the GS4 Active. Things may be different this time around, though, as @evleaks says that a Sprint version of the GS5 Active with the model number SM-G860P may also be in the works.
Would you be interested in a Galaxy S5 Active?

In issuing its first update to pregnancy discrimination guidelines in more than 30 years, the EEOC this week made it clear that employers can be required to provide reasonable accommodations to employees with pregnancy-related conditions.
The guidelines say that, under the Pregnancy Discrimination Act (PDA), an employer must accommodate pregnant employees by offering work restrictions—such as light-duty work—if the employer accommodates nonpregnant employees with similar inabilities to work.
The EEOC issued the new guidance on July 14 after a 3-2 vote along partisan lines. Commissioner Victoria Lipnic opposed the decision, saying the guidance "takes the novel position that under the language of the PDA, a pregnant worker is, as a practical matter, entitled to 'reasonable accommodations' as that term is defined by the ADA. No federal courts of appeal have adopted this position; indeed, those which have addressed the question ...(register to read more)

Brentford 2-2 Chelsea
- From the section Football
Fernando Torres struck a late equaliser to spare Chelsea the embarrassment of being knocked out of the FA Cup by League One Brentford at Griffin Park.
The £50m Spain striker equalised seven minutes from time as Brentford threatened to heap even more misery on Chelsea and interim manager Rafael Benitez after their midweek Capital One Cup semi-final elimination against Swansea City.
Brentford, third in the third tier of English football, were the better side for long spells in this fourth round tie and twice held the lead through Marcello Trotta's first-half goal and Harry Forrester's penalty 17 minutes from time.
With Chelsea on the brink of an ignominious exit and Benitez facing increasing hostility from the travelling supporters packed at one end of Griffin Park, Torres curled in a superb finish to give the Premier League side the relief of a replay.
Brentford's fans gave their side a standing ovation after an outstanding effort that earns them a lucrative replay at Stamford Bridge - but for a few moments they were dreaming of an even bigger reward.
For Chelsea, the draw was gratefully accepted and they deserve some credit for digging out the result after struggling for so long.
Griffin Park was liberally laced with everything that makes the FA Cup special - complete with the sort of heavily sanded-surface that can close gaps between teams.
And Chelsea's unease was evident in an early breakdown in communication between captain John Terry - starting his first game under Benitez after injury - and Ross Turnbull which resulted in the 'keeper picking up his backpass in the area. It presented Brentford with a clear opportunity but Forrester, faced with a 10-man Chelsea wall, shot over.
Brentford's brisk tempo unsettled Chelsea, who were not helped by their own lame response to the determination of the Bees to deny them time and space and drive forward at every opportunity.
As Brentford's confidence increased and with it their domination, Adam Forshaw was only inches away from giving them the lead from 20 yards.
The goal they deserved came three minutes before the interval when Turnbull - a desperately uncertain figure throughout - could only push out Forrester's shot after Frank Lampard conceded possession. Trotta took time to steady himself before sending a powerful finish past the stranded keeper.
It resulted in Benitez receiving a furious response from Chelsea's supporters as he made his way off in front of them at half-time - treatment that was repeated when he emerged for the second half.
Benitez made an inevitable change at the restart, sending on Juan Mata for the anonymous Marko Marin, but it was Oscar who provided the moment of inspiration to draw Chelsea level.
He showed quick feet and great imagination inside the area before sending a right-foot strike high past Brentford keeper Simon Moore.
Moore, who had been untroubled until Oscar's goal, was then in action again to save from Mata as Chelsea sensed they were finally exerting some control on proceedings.
Brentford, however, showed real character to rebuild momentum and edge their way back into the game, a strength rewarded as they regained the lead with 17 minutes left.
Clayton Donaldson played in Tom Adeyemi, on for goalscorer Trotta, and he was dragged down by Turnbull as he raced from goal. The keeper was shown the yellow card and Forrester kept his composure to beat Turnbull powerfully to his right from the spot.
Benitez introduced Demba Ba to try to spare Chelsea's humiliation but it was the much-criticised Torres who did the job for his manager with an instinctive curled finish beyond the reach of Moore.
Brentford held on but survived one huge stoppage time scare when Harlee Dean handled Mata's chip into the area but referee Jon Moss ignored Chelsea's frantic appeals.

In 2007 ISPE developed The "Certified Pharmaceutical Industry Professional" (CPIP) credential which was created to enhance the capabilities of pharmaceutical professionals, organizations working in the industry, and the industry's ability to provide life-saving drugs to society.
In September of 2013, the ISPE Board of Directors made the decision to transition the CPIP program to a recertification program, closing the program to new applicants after November 30, 2013, permitting those already engaged in preparation to complete the certification by June 30, 2014, and permitted those who held the CPIP credential to retain the credential if they met the recertification requirements in effect at the time.
ISPE's certification program, CPIP, has completed the transition to a re-certification program as of 30 June, 2014. CPIP is no longer open to new candidates. Existing CPIPs must continue to meet Recertification requirements to maintain the credential.

Everybody's got an eel story in New Zealand. When we were kids we used to go eeling, digging what Dad called a "Maori eel trap" - a trench next to a lakeside or stream, dug long and thin enough for an eel to swim up with some meat in some pantihose staked to the top end. The idea was, the eel would swim up into the trench after smelling the meat and then, not being able to swim in reverse, remain stuck there.
However, the more I've learnt about our native eels, especially their amazing life cycle, the less inclined I've been to eat them or hunt them ever again. What I didn't know then is that our native longfin eels - the real big ones with a long dorsal fin (about two-thirds the length of their body), is that they're found only here in New Zealand, and that they can live for 100 years.
That in itself is pretty amazing stuff, but then I learned that longfin eels (which have been populating New Zealand's rivers, streams and lakes for 23 million years) breed only ONCE in their lives. This breeding event is in itself pretty spectacular, since they swim to a mysterious place - thought to be off the coast of Tonga somewhere - breed and then die. That's one helluva holiday romance! If that in itself doesn't impress you, than think of what happens next. The tiny leaf-shaped, see-through eel larvae drift all the way back to New Zealand making their way into our rivers and sometimes swimming hundreds of kilometres upstream. The little eels are fantastic rock climbers, and vertical waterfalls are conquered with ease by these extreme freshwater fish.
But despite all their tenacity, the longfin eels are doing it pretty hard these days. First, many of their habitats have been modified or destroyed. Large dams are a problem, either trapping the mature eels at the top or being too vast for the elvers (young eels) to climb up. Many freshwater streams, lakes and rivers have become severely polluted, making the water quality too poor for eels to thrive in. Eels have always been an important source of protein in New Zealand, but a commercial fishery has added to their problems. Now longfin eels are listed in the same threatened species category as blue penguins.
Recently I discovered that not only are New Zealand's longfin eels disappearing through far too many being caught in the commercial fishery, but they are mashed up into tinned dog food for pampered pooches in the United States. Is that any way to treat our ancient taniwha?
For Maori, they are a significant cultural resource - and the myriad ways early Maori caught eels in New Zealand are fascinating.
It seems people have always held a fascination with our eels. When we were kids we knew that on rainy days on my Nana's farm in the Catlins, the eels could wriggle across the paddocks, and we used to feed a tame duck called Hoppy on camping trips to Frankton, who'd lost her foot to an eel as a duckling. More recently, my Dad in Christchurch and Mum in Dunedin have had pet eels in creeks next to their houses. These eels were well fed, getting anything from leftover roast chicken to mince. After the earthquakes in Christchurch, my Dad was really gutted that the liquefaction had come up through the stream at their house and he never saw his three pet eels again.
These days, it seems that more and more people are interested in feeding and watching eels rather than catching and killing them, and for these ancient river guardians, that can only be a good thing. What about you guys? Do you have eel stories you want to share?

I used to love catching eels with my Dad. He called em Tuna whakaeke and he only caught them on the second night of their running in the rainy season, we could catch heaps but only took enough for a feed, we used to catch them on flax threaded with worms and tied to a ti tree stick...was cool.
Awesome article.
Yeah I use to spear them, but now I recognise them as the awesome native animal they are. If you still want to fish for them, you can wrap meat in wool and tie that to your line. Their teeth get caught in them and they can let go. Then once you've got them, you can release them and watch them swim away without hurting them.
It annoys me that there is more protection for the introduced trout than the eel or the whitebait.
Jack Rivers #2 7 min ago
It was also pretty horrifying to hear that when they first introduced Trout, people were paid to eradicate native eels, to ensure they didn't predate on the trout.
Eels are fascinating creatures, and their Maori, and indeed their polynesian origin stories are really interesting. It goes as far as in some polynesian islands, the three "dots" on a coconut are from an eel's face, as when Maui killed tunaroa he buried his head and from it sprang the coconut tree.
The Maori version is that he lured tunaroa into a river, and threw half his body to the ocean (source of sea eels), and half into freshwater, with tunaroa's blood seeping into the banks, where it can still be found in the red of the trees Matai and Rimu. The blood also fell in splashes on the pukeko and kakariki - giving them their red splashes of colour.
Tuna, like all kaimoana, is a taonga that should be used carefully, and sustainably.
I've never caught or eaten eel. My Dad once got a bone from one stuck in his throat - the agony he endured until it could be removed put me off for life.
As a child my parents used to take me and the siblings to see an elderly lady and her equally elderly dog. To reach her you had to walk through stunning native bush. It was somewhere near Nelson, I think.
The old lady would sit beside the river with a big bag of mince, and some sticks. For twenty cents she would give you a stick, and she would put some meat on the end, and we could feed the eels.
In the river was a swarming mass of eels - from memory about twenty, all squiggling around fighting for space. They knew all too well that particular spot, and would lift their heads above the water, mouths open, hoping they would be the lucky eel to receive some mince.
It's a very find memory, and one of the great childhood experiences I had that taught me to respect nature.
We use to hand feed them with huhu bugs or steak when we were kids. We never saw the same eel and their skin was 'velvety' to touch.
We used to go eeling in the creek just down from our house as kids. I know the lake at Western Springs has plenty of Eels in it, grwoing fat from all the food given to them, they are almost tame.
Never seen an eel, have no 'eel story'. But I'm used to being treated like less of Kiwi just because I'm not a nature lover....
I love tuna, I love eating them, catching them and watching them. But eating them and catching them is becoming less common now. partly because I only seem to catch long fins which there is less numbers now not keen on killing off this wicked species, I live in the high country where long fins are more likely to be compared to short fins. In the local river (Twizel river) I haven't seen any for 3 years now and thats not good. Seen three in the canal I work on, all maturing, about 1.5m long fat and nowhere to go as the damn prevents them from going to sea. its thought that when eels start there migration to sea, if they don't like the conditions they reverse their maturing process and carry on feeding. But these ones I see look stuffed and can hardly swim, Maybe because they have spent all their energy trying to get out.Was able to net one up before I knew it was maturing with ease. Is their anything that can be done to help these creatures get to where they meant to be going? Like fish and game putting in some effort to help protect these native fish. we pay to catch the stoat of the rivers but not our very own species.
In Scotland we have salmon ladders, so the fist can get past dams and other man made obstacles, maybe we should invest in eel ladders?
I like watching the eels and feeding them, but yuck! Wouldn't want to eat them
Chris, I think if you contact the owners of the Colonial Motels in Twizel, or the local school at Omarama, you might be pleasantly surprised at just what is being done to save these Taonga.
