Hey Folks. Still under my first twenty or so games with the Tau. Not going so great for me but its more my newbishness than army problems I believe. I've started to be smarter in my deployment and it's helping. Our local games have a ton of marines and the turn one drop pod is almost a guarantee. I have that under control more or less. My question I would put to you guys is this: How do you regularly deploy your suits?
Are they in reserve ready for the DS? Do you have them boxed in by your vehicles for protection? How much does it depend on their load out? (I understand the torch squads or melta units are a given).
Just looking for some input and a discussion. Thanks all!
I would argue that you should never put your army into reserves. A Tau army needs every gun firing each and every turn to win games.
Deployment for a Tau army should almost always been a corner castle deployment. It's definitely the best way to stymie drop pod marines. But it's also the best way to protect your suits. And stacking a flank like that also makes it easier for you to focus fire on the bits of the enemy that are able to affect you. Being able to pick enemies apart one piece at a time is easier if you are relatively tightly focused in one smallish area of the table ... where there is only one way to get to you.
See the video batreps linked in the first post of my tactica (see my signature below) for examples.

I agree with everything on the table ( i may hold a unit of FW of the table if i want to keep them safe (but they are sometimes better just to sit in the DF from the beginning.
I dont DS anything although i have been considering it with the touch squad.

I think it all depends on both your siituation and your strategy.
Dawn of War is exactly why your XV88s must have ASSs. Why purposefully cripple yourself in 1/3 of all games played? TL BS 3 provides a 75% hit rate. Most people consider straight-up BS 4 to be plenty reliable, and TL BS 3 is better than that.
And you probably know that I am not a fan of flamer XV8s precisely because you can't ever use them at maximum capability. Either all you get is MP shots from range, or you have to wait several turns to hope to get a single shot in with flamers. Up close. Where you can be easily killed. Which may indeed mean reserves.
That is guns you could instead have shooting from turn 1. Inefficient, it seems to me.
Kroot's purpose is never to take objectives. If they happen to be able to do so, you must really be kicking serious ass! Kroot are too important as expendable screens to be used in actual tactical attempts to claim objectives. Using them in that fashion weakens your entire army.
Reserving FWs is definitely something worth considering. But don't reserve their devilfish! You need them all the time, every time. If you place an objective deep in your deployment zone, by all means reserves a unit of FWs to walk onto it later in the game. But you can't afford to go without a shooting/blocking/cover-providing vehicle.

Lets take a look at the much vaunted Fireknife number6 raves about, 1 shot from the Plasma at anything over 12", according to six the XV8 should always be at range so we get three shots from a three FK unit with Plasma between 12 and 24". BS3 that means 1.5 hits and dependent on toughness around 1,25 wounds over the Missile pods of the Torch unit he mentioned. Yep game turning performance from turn one there (this is why I aim to take BS4 FK's by the way).
Funny thing is 5th is Mech biased and a lot faster, yes we can provide a certain amount of blockading/speed bumps etc and we also have outflanking, Deep strike, Mycetic spores, Drop pods, flying units, running units. All those things mean one thing enemy units get close (often protected by vehicles) and that means close range weaponry gets used.
I have had games where I have used the Flamers three or four times (funny that, should I not have lost them after the one use?). I know how to deploy effectively, I know how to use Kroot and Piranhas (Devilfish as well when needed) to slow down armies, I know how to utilise terrain and corner deployment to stifle outflank, I know how to deploy to dissuade and make DS/DP deployment and yet I still get units closing fast because it is the nature of 5th and is unavoidable, we can soften its impact but not 100% prevent it (yeah we know Six can ).
number6 please stop dismissing a unit you do not use, have probably never used more than once and have no idea how to integrate into a Tau list. I know you do not use them so if you have next to no experience of them in true gameplay situations you should refrain from knocking them as much as you do.
I have used the FK extensively and I still do so I speak about them from direct gameplay experience, I also use the Torch squad and have done so extensively so again I speak from experience and not conjecture.
I use FK's and the Torch squad together in the same list and they work beautifully together. In other words I can talk about both the Torch and FK because I use both, you do not use the Torch/Flamer yet you somehow are expert on them.
Any unit only works as part of an overall list, the Torch squad is no different, it works in my list because it gets ML support because the other XV8's don't need it, which means their MP's usually hit on 2+. The Flamers work well because they are twin linked and are used with intelligence, they hit targets they can hurt (more than you would think), they work with other units and most of all they are taken because enemy units will and do get close and then close range is a moot point as an argument against them.
Torch units should never be held in reserve, they should be on the table using their Missile pods and when needed using their Flamers. I am not afraid to actually move the cheapish Torch unit forward to actually attack and if needed be sacrificed, depends on the game circumstances.
I usually deploy my XV8's in or behind cover/vehicles and all of them are on the table. I cannot remember the last time I DS'd an XV8, why would you risk getting two or three turns stuck in reserve and not adding to your shooting.
Cheap Flamer only suits are cheap enough and can be effective enough to DS but they will usually be out of range of support from the rest of the Tau army (this is why they die, not just because they use Flamers).
Remember the key to any Tau unit is the support of the rest of the army. If you look at the Torch unit as a stand alone unit then it does not look that good but look at it as part of the whole, using its MP's to pop transports, hurt high toughness units (doing what a FK does with its MP's), using its Flamers to clear massed infantry, units in cover, units that have got close and are threatening other valuable Tau units and so on. You can see they work very well.
Six is right about the Devilfish, if possible they should always be on the board, I use them as active blockading units and LOS blocking. I also use them as objective grabbers (with FW inside of course) for which they are extremely good. Either way I usually start with my two DF on the table.
THe XV8 and XV88 should be on the table unless scenario dictates otherwise, make sure they are protected (in/behind LOS blocking cover or behind vehicles) in case you lose that first turn. Place them where they can jump shoot and then jump back behind cover. XV88's should be deployed with LOS to enemy units foremost in mind, I usually aim to get them on top of buildings. XV88's should have shield drones to offer them some protection but remember the XV88 should have done its job by turn three latest but your XV8's need to be around for all the game. If it comes down to it make sure the XV8's get the bast cover because the XV88 with its 2+ and shield Drones can weather a lot of fire power than an XV8 unit.
Make sure you use Kroot units and DF, Piranhas to offer cover saves to your XV8's and XV88's.
Sorry for the sidestep into the old Torch unit territory but it annoys me just how much ignorance there is out there about this extremely effective, cost effective unit.
For once i agree with Riki, well put.
After questioning you for a while a 3 man touch squad is always in my lists. very effective and in a recent game they proved themselves against nids and SW in a 2v2 - killing troops and bikes in one turn and in the turn before killing 2 of a 3 man ravorners squad ( both SW and nids it killed were not even the easy to kill things like ternagaunts - i so wanted to be able to flame them)
The squad then also fired MP with ML support in the first and later turns.
BUT - Riki you take about No6 dismissing the touch squad yet you are the same towards the special weapons HQ can get. I fielded in the same game a HQ with both special weapons and normal upgrades + HWTL and attached him to the touch squad. They never really fired at the same target but the touch gave him protection + his SD, from shots. Now im not gonna say the CIB is great as i still question that but i would pull off between 2-4 wounds a turn from it but the AFP is amazin - in one turn it took out 15 of 18 gargoles. (they shot after DS and didn't run) and that was just one turn it done plenty of damage against the SW as well earning over 2x its points back.
Tau: 6K - W17-D3-L4, Orks: 4K - W9-D0-L2, SM: 7K - W7-D3-L4,CSM: 4K W5-D1-L1, Nids: 3.2K W3-D0-L2
Apoc games (mixture of armies used): W5-D0-L1
It comes down to the fact that I see no real place for the AFP or CIB in a Tau list, they do nothing that other units can do better. I do see a place for the Torch squad because it is effective at long and close range. I know if I use the TL Flamer I get auto hits and re-rolls to wound, the AFP relies on avoiding scatter and the only way to reduce the scatter is to up BS and that means either a TA on Vre's or usign the HQ (HQ are better of with the Plasma because they have the accuracy to make it count).
The Torch squad can contribute 6 MP shots a turn and I do not want to lose two of those for the AFP, the Torch squad can cover a lot of models with three templates but if I take an AFP there is a chance it will scatter badly. Like I said I never dismiss anything unless I put a lot of thought and play testing into the decision as I hope I have illustrated with the explanation above about why ah AFP is not in my Torch squad.
I am glad you find the AFP useful but I can pretty much guarantee that you will have lots of games where it will do very little, if you are comfortable with that then that is fine. I prefer to take units/weapons/wargear that I know will contribute something to every game reliably.
See now i disagree with you but understnad where your coming from I'm thinking of removing the CIB and putting a MP with the AFP.
I do not put this weapon on my touch squads but on a HQ. I then add this HQ to my touch squad. With a HWTL the HQ can fire at assulting troops the turn before they get close enough to use the flames
this means i can weaken that unit (massively if they are a horde or as much as the TL-flamer would if they are more MEQ (number of roles to wounds vs the almost garentied to wound of the flamers) whilst this is happening the touch squad would be MP a veh or something big.
Then the next turn the flamers have their turn if the enemy is still attacking and the HQ turns his AFP + MP on the next target coming that way (or just MP if nothing is close)
I find this is very effective.
I play in a 1500 point game these 4 plus a 3 man FK elite and a HQ FK + 2 bodyguard FK. with the usual pathfinders, hammerhead, 2 broadsides, and kroot+ 6 FW.
I have played this against nids, SW, SM, IG so far and have found that the HQ with AFP always makes more points back than the HQ fireknife. against orks, IG, nids etc that will always happen, against more MEQ armies the FK does a bit better but that is why i have both - so i can take all comers - I find that TAU struggle in the horde type armies cos we are to focused at getting those high powered thinks with MP, railguns and plasma guns.
The use of this HQ attached to a flame squad ( or even a FK squad as he has a TL and works with simular distances with the MP for long range and the AFP (18") and the plasma (12" RF or 24") as well as that flame squad and the sub shots on the hammerhead really allow me to take on Horde as well as MEQ.
As only HQ or bodyguard can take this weapon i could understand in a 2500 point game where you may have both HQs as fK with bodyguard FK that you would not want this but in my 1500 when i have only one of them i find it so worth while.
As to agreeing with you
- Yes i dont like using small blast markers as there is a high chance of missing BUT the AFP is a large blast marker and ith only a select coice of units able to take it unless you role 11+ you are still likely to hit (unless you put it over 1 model which is not what its meant for) anything under 10 you are still gonna hit.
This weapon killed 1.5x the units cost in one shot in my last game.
- I do agree with the CIB i have tried that a number of times and it just doesn't do the job well enough and i can see the value of adding a MP with the AFP to give it the long range just like the touch squads do.
For an all comers list of 2K or lower a 'el with AFP, MP, TA, HWMT, HWTL, HWDC and SD at 112 points will always be in it attached to another squad (most like a touch squad but maybe a FK squad)
p.s i always make sure all battlesuits have SD - either themselves or from the HQ i attach to them (only 1 per unit)

On the other hand I start the game with them in play as often as not and found the mpods are very effective in the light armor department and in other situations.
As to having advanced stabilisation, I always use it now. I loved the better chance to hit as I ran into a lot of games where they missed more then they should but the ability to reposition or come in from reserve shooting is just too handy. Nothing I like more to do to a drop pod army or demon army then let them have first turn and keep everything off the table (especially dawn of war) Make them do their first drops with no idea where I am going to come on the board at. Then come on and hammer them sespecially if they split their forces to try to cover more of my deployment.
Again, there are several reasons why I will put units in reserve. Kroot for example are put into reserve often as well as my torch squad. If an out flank manuever is possible and to my advantage I will. Also using positional relay, I have often done a delayed reserve on purpose. Bringing in 1 unit at a time. It works when they have objectives in their back field or units you are waiting to be more isolated by their advance onto your lines. This is a trick I rarely do but it is a very handy one to have up your sleeve in my opinion. I took a win using this in my first year of doing Ard Boyz against a nidzilla army. It was a round 3 game and we were on the top table. He advanced everything onto my lines. Pulled my torch squad round 2, a kroot sqouad round 3, a firewarior (6man) round 4 and then my last kroot squad in round 5 which ran to his unprotected objective. I contested mine (barely) and had his free and clear because he had nt realized what I was doing.
- Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

RE: Rebirth - Theravada & Tibetan beliefs

- Dear Friends,
Since the fire is lit and I still have yet to receive an answer, please
consider this argument:
>>Dear BhanteThis is truly the case... if there were not naama or ruupa, it would mean
>>Many thanks for the mail. However, I've ended up more confused. Eg,
>>what is it that got reborn during the intermediate state, and what
>>actually is this intermediate state - some suspended states with or

>>rupa; and nama too, I would think.
(temporary?) nibbaana...
>In Francis Story's book "Rebirth as Doctrine and Experience" (BPS, Kandy;1988), there is a chapter (XX) called "What Happens Between Incarnations?"
where several documented cases of children who could remember their
intermediate lives are presented. The author assisted Dr Ian Stevenson in
his fieldwork while interviewing those children. Towards the end of the
chapter, Story writes:
>those reported by individuals who claim to have had out-of-the-body
>"We also find a curious similarity between these prenatal experiences and
experiences (OOBE). Such OOBE's are called variously astral projections or
projections of the etheric body. In Buddhism the etheric body is called
*manomayakaya*, the mentally formed body. There is such a body, of a
different substance from the physical body and possibly existing on a
slightly different vibrational level...."
My question is, if the naama and ruupa of this "OOBE" (nice acronym...)
still exist and arise and cease, in what way is the being said to have died?
>FYI, psychic healers identify seven layers of the human body: physical,etheric, astral, emotional, mental, spiritual, and divine/buddhic. One
psychic healer told me that the physical body dies first, but it will take a
longer time for the the other layers to perish. All of these are probably
combinations of nama-rupa. I would think that the other layers comprise the
5 Aggregates of the intermediate being.
Why do we call it an intermediate being? This post seems to contradict
itself, saying first that the "other layers" of this existence have yet to
perish, and then talking about an intermediate being, as though one had
already died. If the being had truly left its last life behind, we would not
be told to be so careful with the "dead" body as we are in Pure Land and
Tibetan Buddhism... I think nothing is proven by Stephen's most surprisingly
lucid (and commendable) attainments - according to the Theravada, I would
say that those beings have not yet died. You see, it's semantics :)
I don't think there is anything contradictory between the Mahayana
antarabhava and the Theravada immediate rebirth... the latter seems only to
be concerned with the last moment before "conception" in the womb. The
Mahayana seems concerned more with the dying process...
I think at any rate, one should be careful to note that the aggregates arise
and cease at every moment, and that is the real death. If they arise with
defilements, that's seven new lives in hell. If they arise with
mindfulness, that's seven new lives in heaven :)

Sig doesn't occupy a position in the gun world that causes people to find excuses to buy other brands. Sig has people trying to find excuses to buy Sigs. Well, they gave people another good reason by making the SP2022 the descendent of the original Sig Pro model 2340 released in the late 1990's. It's a gun that has already enjoyed much success on the international stage in law enforcement and military and should be considered as a better alternative to many of the higher priced polymer framed pistols.
It's not typical that Sig is the low price leader in any market segment; but then again, they have never really had to be. They have enjoyed success worldwide because of their heavy R&D, innovative designs and (usually) flawless execution on model runs.
The talisman of the Sig line in the United States was the original alloy frame handgun which felt as though it was manufactured in a precision watch factory, with its ultra smooth actions and the incredibly high tolerances as well as the ridiculous reliability, which seems unmatched in most circles.
Sig has a pretty good history with law enforcement as well; they are on the shortlist for just about every agency on the planet each time there is a contract to be fulfilled for a duty weapon. It is this relationship that probably provided a catalyst for the SP2022 to be made. There are rumors, that I have not verified with Sig factory that state the SP2022 was named such as it was a gun made in the year 2000 and slated to be part of the pistol lineup for 20 years, hence the service life ending in (SP)2022. The SP stands for SigPro. There are also rumors that the SP2022 were discontinued; that is not true. As you will see in the remainder of this specific article, the business of the SP2022 is far too lucrative for Sig to discontinue such a gun at this point. There were suggestions from the Sig factory that the debut of the Sig P250 would make the SP 2022 obsolete in some markets, but the only thing that suffered was the sales of the P250. In one of Sig's biggest markets and one of the biggest in the world for guns: California, the Sig SP2022 is still alive and well; thriving as part of the handgun roster.
Since Sig was known for its alloy framed service weapons and the venerable Sip P210 all steel target model, as well as other special pieces scattered around the archives at factory, it was finely tuned to receive the indications that is was losing the law enforcement war to newcomer Glock, and stalwart competitor Heckler and Koch in the 1980's and 1990's, both who were utilizing polymer frames at the time with excellent profits and wonderful success in large domestic U.S. law enforcement contracts. Sig couldn't compete on price, and so they decided to join the polymer fray. Originally Sig came out with the SP 2340 in 1998. A year later they began seeing interest from Law enforcement and military procurement teams for their now increasingly important SP2022. It was a gun which enjoyed an incredible reputation, without ever having to fire a shot; had a parent company full of LE and MIL experience, and had all the right features at the right price point.
The SP2022 has been the subject of some pretty interesting and high profile agency purchases, including the National police force of France which has order totaling more than a quarter of a million SP2022 handguns. The US DEA also chose the SP2022, buying up more than 60K units. Colombia's Policia Nacional purchased over 55,000 units on the recommendation of the US DEA that was training them for a continued success in the region in the war on drugs. Special forces groups and police agencies in Switzerland (by the way they have a long and storied with Sig pistols including the P210), Portugal and Malaysia also can be counted amongst the users and "early" adopters of the SP2022 as a duty gun.
Many others have begun to research and take the SP2022 on trial in the US and abroad. As the economy worsens globally (with the exception of certain European, Middle Eastern and Asian countries) HK has seen a price increase, and is therefore on the lower end of the shortlists in some cases; Glock experienced some difficulties in the first several production runs with their new 4th Generation pistols, and now that the SIG is so widely adopted, it makes the (approximately) $375-$425 SP2022 a much more attractive option, even though it has always matched the Glock and HK on reliability and performance.
It's not that an agency endorsement guarantees performance for a civilian user of a specific firearm, but the good performance of such an agency gun does impact its marketing and help people determine if it has the capabilities to meet the demand they will expect it to handle. The real benefit to the SP2022 is that you get EVERYTHING for the price it costs to get a much lesser gun usually. The ergonomics and the control of the SP2022 are spot on, and it is customizable without altering the firearm too much. You also get the sig name; brand image; research and development team, state of the art materials and the backing of one of the biggest names in firearms when you buy an SP2022.
The SP2022 You get a gun made in the image of greatness (the other sig pistols from various stages of their history), with an attached rail for accessory mounting; a great trigger and the lightweight of a polymer pistol. There is nothing in the SP2022 or any Sig for that matter than leaves you feeling remorseful about a purchase. Out of the box, you get a quality firearm every time with few exceptions. In the event of an exception, Sig takes care of you quite well.
Sig finally has gotten to the point where they can offer the polymer weapons at a steep discount to their competitors, which proves something telling: Guns can be had for less money which can perform above their pay grade.
The combination of the massive purchase orders from LE and MIL, with the tooling having already largely been paid for, as well as the now ancient (though the gun doesn't present this) R&D costs, give a great indication as to the reasons Sig can provide the SP2022 for such a low price. Usually we are convinced that if something is too good to be true, it probably is; the SP2022 isn't too good to be true. The SP2022 is a great value.
The SP2022 isn't perfect, but it's VERY nice. The tolerances aren't QUITE what sigs other guns are, it might look tactical, but it's nowhere near as pretty as some of the other Sig guns; and it is a bit top heavy compared to other pistols in the line. The last comment is a disease of polymer framed guns, and not indicative of a shortcoming of the SP2022.
The SP2022 is the lowest priced full power Sig; a unique and wonderful alternative to the Glock and HK pistols, as well as the Springfield and S & W polymer guns (amongst others). It's a gun equally at home in a woman's hand as a man's, and one which is so good you'll find yourself going to it time and again to use for carry and target shooting. You can find it in three calibers if you look hard enough: .357 Sig; 9 mm and .40 S & W. The SP2022 is a perfect first handgun; it's inexpensive, infinitely usable and highly regarded. The SP2022 is not going anywhere and it provides a solution to a problem that cannot be matched at the same price point by many competitors. If you need a no mess handgun, take a look at the venerable Sig SP2022.

I'll never forget when she took all those pills, and I had to beat her to keep her awake. My shrink said she would have gone into a coma had i not stayed with her. She turned into a little girl. I told her we were going to a concert, and to get in the car. I sat outside a hospital with her all night in my club clothes in case she stopped breathing.

text: This morning I set myself to making Real Strawberry Jelly, from the February 2011 issue of delicious. I made a few changes to the as-written recipe, in part to make my life easier, and it in part to work with ingredients I could find at my local supermarket (perhaps this also falls in the category of "making my life easier"?). I used frozen strawberries rather than fresh ones – at this time of the year much easier to find, and probably much better quality than anything fresh. I probably used a bit more than a tablespoon of lemon juice (squeezing directly into the pot is an inexact science), and when it came to drain the fruit I used a colander lined with cloth (this is what I had on hand). I substituted 6 gelatine sheets for 3 teaspoons of powdered gelatine (I couldn't find the powdered version in the supermarket). I also didn't faff around with inserting fruit into the setting jelly, although I did divide the strawberry syrup into ramekins to make individual servings. Despite my shortcuts, the resulting jelly is delicious. It's not too sweet, and has a rich, rich strawberry flavour.

Skip to comments.DUmmie FUnnies 01-17-13 (Kucinich betrays DUmmies, joins Fox News!)
Posted on 01/17/2013 1:16:33 PM PST by Charles Henrickson
As you can see above, at one time, the DUmmies had no greater hero than Dennis Kucinich. There was nobody they liked better. The former Boy Mayor of Cleveland, the former Wunderkind of the Cuyahoga, the truest, bluest progressive in Congress, the prog-preferred presidential aspirant in '04 and '08, and a moonbat as wacky as the DUmmies themselves--there was no one who could surpass Dennis Kucinich in the eyes of the DUmmies.
But all that has changed now. Due to Ohio losing a seat in Congress, Rep. Kucinich was forced into a primary against fellow congressperson Marcy Kaptur--and he lost! His own party betrayed him by voting for the other Democrat. Stung by his defeat, Kucinich found solace in his featured role in The Hobbit and in his hot young wife:
It's amazing, isn't it? It's kind of like if Gollum somehow managed to get Lady Galadriel to marry him:
But I digress. Where did we leave off? OK. . . . Having been betrayed by his party, the question became: What Would Kookie Do? Answer: He would betray THEM!
Lo and behold, Dennis Kucinich has signed up with FOX NEWS!! This jarring news has hit DUmmieland like a thunderbolt. The DUmmies are moving through Kübler-Ross's Five Stages of Grief, but they seem to be stuck on Anger. (BTW, would Kucinich qualify as a Kübler Elf?)
We will see the wrath of the DUmmies descend on Denny in these threads:
This THREAD, "Fox News Signs Dennis Kucinich As Contributor"; and
This THREAD, "What do you think of Dennis Kucinich joining Fox News?"; and
This THREAD, "Dennis Kucinich: It's 'Almost Silly' To Think I'd Be The Token Liberal On Fox"
So let us now watch the DUmmies DUmp on Dennis, in Bolshevik Red, while the commentary of your humble guest correspondent, Charles Henrickson--not surprised that Kookie would join Fox, since he already MARRIED a fox--is in the [brackets]:
Fox News Signs Dennis Kucinich As Contributor
[Huh? Whaa--?? Surely there must be some sort of mistake here! Not our Dennis Kucinich! Oh, wait. Surely you must mean "MSNBC," not . . . not . . . ugh, FOX!!]
Fox News Channel has signed former Congressman Dennis Kucinich as a paid contributor to FNC and Fox Business network. Kucinich, who was for years a liberal stalwart in the House of Representatives, will provide analysis and commentary across all of FNC and FBNs programs, beginning with Thursdays edition of The OReilly Factor.
Ive always been impressed with Rep. Kucinichs fearlessness and thoughtfulness about important issues, said Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes. . . .
[Ailes? I think Kucinich must have been abducted by ALIENS!]
His willingness to take a stand from his point of view makes him a valuable voice in our countrys debate.
[Translation: "I can use him as a token liberal punching bag. Plus, from time to time he'll bash Obama for not being liberal enough. Plus, he's an entertaining wacko. Plus, he's got a hot wife. It's all good."]
[The DUmmies react . . .]
That's JUST what Democrats need, somebody attacking them from the left on Faux Snooze.
[But isn't that exactly what you DUmmies do on DUmmieland, i.e., attack the Dems for not being proggy enough?]
Done. With. Kucinich.
[On. To. Grayson.]
What In the F***?!
[What In the FOX?!]
Dennis, Dennis, Dennis... WTF man?!
[Say it ain't so, Kookie!]
As long as he doesn't let himself be used as a punching bag it's ok.
[Uh, DUmmie, why do you think Fox signed him?]
he's a contributor, not an anchor.
[He's a contributor to your anger.]
Do you think he'll turn teabagger?
[I think he'll turn punchbagger.]
Please - Give Dennis A Chance. . . .
[All we are saying . . . is give Dennis a chance . . .]
just a little while ago - people here were bummed that he got screwed out of his Congressional seat.
[He was Kaptured by aliens!]
Oh my! Now they'll be watching Fox to dance to Kooch's toon.
[Do the Hoochie-Koochie!]
The world's oldest profession gains another employee. Walk with pride, Dennis.
[Dennis is a proud paid progstitute.]
Beyond astonished.
[Distraught. Dismayed. Disconsolate. Stepping out on the ledge.]
Now he can bash the President and get both laughs and applause.
[It's a beautiful thing.]
"Paid contributor" = blood money.
[Dennis Iscariot gets his dirty pieces of silver.]
Here is why I give Dennis no quarter. . . .
[Look, it takes a lot more than a quarter to buy off Dennis, my friend!]
Dennis is not naive enough to think he will be anything but a pawn. . . . You take money from the GOP you become their pawn. . . .
[But now he will be a pawn STAR! Heck, he and the lovely Miss Elizabeth might even get their own reality show! Let's see, what could they call it? "Say Yes to the Elf"? "Kook Boss"? "Here Comes Denny Koo Koo"? ("A dolla makes me holla, Denny Koo Koo!")]
What do you think of Dennis Kucinich joining Fox News?
[There's a poll on this for the DUmmies to answer. Right now the results look like this . . .]
57% Cha-Ching... He needs a war chest and it's a paycheck!
22% He thinks he can win over F***ed up Fox News watchers!
7% Fox News thinks they need him to keep up ratings!
14% Other reason. . . .
[Most of the DUmmies got this one mostly right--follow the dollar signs. But a "war chest"?? Do you really think Kookie is going to run for office again? Say, on second thought, you may be on to something! KUCINICH 2016! Go for it!]
They hired him to make Fox viewers think all left leaning people are extreme and far out of the mainstream.
[Which . . . they are.]
He is too marginal to marginalize. As to his credibility, he destroyed that with many people when he did not accept the primary was fair.
[Dennis the Minus.]
If he is that stupid, to hell with him. If he is not and still does this, I hope he goes straight to HELL!
[Feel the love!]
What do you think of Harpo as one of the Marx Brothers? They'll trot him out to honk a horn and then throw a pie in his face whenever the occasion warrants.
[Kookie is a combination of Harpo and Karlo Marx.]
They hired him because he's amusing. And he can tin foil with the best of them.
[Kookie is Comedy GOLD!]
You forgot... Meh! That's my response. Of course, if you had included "Meh!" I wouldn't have voted for it. Such is the Zen of Meh!
[Dennis the Meh-ness.]
Fox News wants him for ratings; he wants it for the moolah. He's also an extremist in some areas; Fox News likes to have on liberals who are either not effective communicators, almost Republican, or irritating extremists (to the Fox News viewer...validating the viewers' view that liberals are wackos). Note that these are not MY views of Kucinich...these are what Fox viewers would think.
[Yeah, right! Those ARE your views, you, you. . . LOUSY FREEPER TROLL!!!]
They obviously think they can make Kuch look ridiculous. . . .
[Not much of a stretch.]
I'm disappointed.
[Dennis tries to console the disappointed DUmmie . . .]
Apparently they need another "Hannity and Colmes"-style show.
[They can call this one "Insanity & Colmes" . . .]
Dennis Kucinich: It's Almost Silly To Think I'd Be The Token Liberal On Fox
[Dennis has spoken, and he's no token!]
he says it's "almost silly" to think that he'll be a kind of token. "I'm way past that in my life and career," Kucinich said. . . . "That's almost silly."
[That's one token over the line!]
yeah, it's just soo fookin' noble to be sucking off the Murdoch/Ailes teat.
[Dennis, someone ain't buyin' what you're sellin'.]
Ahh now the haters demand "purity". . . .
[Haters gonna hate.]
I have lost all respect for Kucinich. Sell Out is a much too kind description of him.
["Judas" is more like it! He made a Faustian, Fauxian deal with the devil!]
Now they'll attack Obama from the right and the left.
[Happy Inauguration Day, Mr. President! Four more years!]
Currently, Fox attacks him from the right. DUers attack him from the left. Fair. and Balanced.
[Hee! Hee!]
Now he's a TELEvisionary! w00t!
Read the whole thing.
Top 10
FNC doesn't want to be seen as conservative anymore
KooKucinich is our new token! hahaha
Say what you will about Dennis, but he has never tried to hide who he is or what he believes (unlike just about any Republican I could mention).
I'll tell you something else. Ask a Republican a question, and you'll get a Republican talking point as an answer. Ask a Democrat a question, and you'll get a Democrat talking point as an answer.
Ask Kucinich a question, and you'll get his actual opinion (as goofy as it might be). You don't get just the party line from him. I respect that.
Many years ago when I was young and in college I read a lot of WF Buckley. Now I cannot remember his exact quote, or what book it is from, but I will try to paraphrase.
He said, don't let the enemy in your house, but if you do, only let him in so you can spit on him.
I would appreciate the exact quote if someone would provide it.
Dennis got PaWNED!
In other news, Al Jazeera has signed me—Honorary Serb—as a Contributor for their new U.S. channel!!!!!
I'll watch if they put his wife on too!
I mean, this is truly amazing:
How did he manage THIS?
Just amazing. She is quite stunning.
Can't imagine why he'd ever want to leave home to
go hang out in the Fox Green Room.
It looks like this will be a Double DUFU day since WILLIAM RIVERS PITT wants to know what is happening here at the Free Republic. Are you sure you really want to know, Pitt? Somehow I think he will highly regret wondering that aloud. Hee! Hee!
[Hee! Hee!]
Was that you, Charles? :P
Is that you, franksolich?

Aberdeen-based bmi Regional has appointed M&C Saatchi to lead its first marketing campaign since it became an independent company earlier this year.
The new advertising campaign, set to launch later this month, is expected to feature the strapline strapline 'Streamlined for business'.
Meanwhile a new website will be fully operational in October, according to reports
Frank Mertens, bmi Regional's marketing manager, said it was "vital" that bmi Regional partners with companies "who understand our business and what we are
trying to achieve in terms of bringing back some of the core values to air travel that have perhaps been eroded."
He went on to add that M&C Saatchi's ideas encapsulated what bmi Regional is about.

Mad Max Fury Road Shower Cabinet
So yeah, a shower cabinet based on the Citadel water scene from Mad Max: Fury Road. It's your standard shower cabinet but with fancy tiling, 3 water nozzles, and a couple of hydraulic levers to operate the water.
One lever controls temperature, the other operates water flow. So you could leave the temperature lever in one setting forever if you wanted! Certainly removes the guesswork when it comes to adjusting the water temp in the shower.
Had this on the drawing board for awhile, was trying to add flowing water for effect, just couldn't get it done. Sorry for the bare bones presentation.
Not my first choice for a geeky shower cabinet, the Tardis is, and someone already made that!

HOLLY GROVE | To an outsider, all of the words and symbols on the computer screens in an Extended Day School class seem nothing more than a garbled mess.
But to the students in Ruth Hartsook's advanced placement computer science class, those symbols and words make perfect sense. Though only juniors and seniors in high school, they are creating computer software.
Even descriptions in the course description will leave most student's parents scratching their heads. It sounds like a foreign language to many. Part of the course description states students will cover common algorithms, arrays and recursion.
"I've always been a computer geek," Will Johansson signed through his interpreter.
A deaf 18-year-old North Davidson High School student, Johansson has always loved working on computers. He has already been accepted at Rochester Institute of Technology, where he will major in computer engineering.
This class will help him be in front of the grade curve when he arrives in college. The curriculum is college-level work, and required at many colleges with computer, engineering or math programs, said Hartsook.
This is the second year the class has been offered to county school students at Extended Day. Students have to provide their own transportation to and from their home high schools. Hartsook is working to get more females interested in computer science. This year, her 13-member class is all male. Last year, she had two females take the class.
"A lot of my students have a love for computers," Hartsook said. "In here, they learn the guts of it. They make software. They're not just using it."
For example, this year the students wrote software that works as a mortgage loan and credit card payoff calculator. Users can enter the amount of the loan or credit card debt, the interest rate and the minimum payment to find out how long it would take them to pay off the debt. It was a real lesson in financial management, too.
Adam Magee, a senior at North Davidson High, said he took the class to discover if he was "fit enough to program and learn what the concept of programming was. I discovered I like programming, but I am a multiple intelligence type of person who likes to focus on many aspects of learning. I discovered I would not want to do this as a career, sitting at a desk all day."
Last year and this year, Hartsook taught only one section of the class each year. She will offer two sections next school year with a maximum of 15 students per section.
Students must take introduction to computer science before signing up for the advanced placement class. It is open to juniors and seniors, as well as sophomores who are identified as having advanced placement potential based on their Preliminary Scholastic Aptitude Test. At the end of the class, students can take the AP exam. If they score a three to five on a one to five scale, students receive college credit for the class.
All 13 students in last year's class took the test with 76.92 percent scoring a three or better, Hartsook said. This is a higher passing rate than the state and national average.

The phrase "creation ex nihilo" refers to the primarily Christian notion of God's creation of everything from nothing. Creation ex nihilo: Origins, Development, Contemporary Challenges presents the findings of a joint research project at Oxford University and the University of Notre Dame in 2014–2015. The doctrine of creation ex nihilo has met with criticism and revisionary theories in recent years, from the worlds of science, theology, and philosophy. This volume concentrates on several key areas: the relationship of the doctrine to its purported biblical sources, how the doctrine emerged in the first several centuries of the Common Era, why the doctrine came under heavy criticism in the modern era, how some theologians have responded to the objections, and the relationship of the doctrine to claims of modern science, for example, the fundamental law of physics that matter cannot be created from nothing.
Although the Bible never expressly states that God made everything from nothing, various texts are taken to imply that the universe came into existence by divine command and was not assembled from preexisting matter or energy. The contributors to this volume approach this topic from a range of perspectives, from exposition to defense of the doctrine itself.
This is a unique and fascinating work whose aim is to present the reader with a compelling set of arguments for why the doctrine should remain central to the grammar of contemporary Christian theology. As such, the book will appeal to theologians as well as those interested in the relationship between theology and science.

"All the essays in this book are at the highest level of sophistication; they ask a lot of the reader, and assume engagement in and knowledge of Christian theology. Anyone who wants a conspectus of what's in the Christian archive on this topic will turn to this collection." — Paul J. Griffiths, Duke Divinity School

Any plans to go to the Caribbean or other faraway destinations have been ditched or kept closely under wraps as the row over duckhouse, moat-cleaning and servants' quarters claims rumbles on in the recession.
Tory leader David Cameron is off to France while Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg is going back to the in-laws in a dusty village in central Spain.
Home Secretary Alan Johnson is flying to Portugal, Transport Secretary Lord Adonis to Bordeaux, Foreign Secretary David Miliband will be spending time in Italy and Ireland, and Health Secretary Andy Burnham is going to Scotland and Spain.
But other Cabinet ministers including millionaire Northern Ireland Secretary Shaun Woodward, who is married to the supermarket heiress Camilla Sainsbury and has a £5 million holiday home on the private Caribbean island of Mustique, were keeping tight-lipped about their holiday plans for "security reasons".
Business Secretary Lord Mandelson was said to have not yet decided where he will be relaxing this summer. He was famously involved in the "yachtgate" spat with George Osborne last summer after they were both hosted by Russian aluminium tycoon Oleg Deripaska on his £60 million boat moored off Corfu.
Shadow chancellor Mr Osborne will be in Cornwall and Spain, while Chancellor Alistair Darling is among a pack of MPs bound for Scotland. He hopes to spend time in the Western Isles.
Gordon Brown went to Southwold in Suffolk last year but Downing Street was keeping his plans for this summer secret on security grounds.
The Scottish hills also beckon for Liberal Democrat deputy leader Vince Cable, MP for Twickenham. At the age of 66, he intends to go climbing, which may alarm some colleagues.
Not a single MP admitted to plans to holiday outside Europe, though Cabinet minister Tessa Jowell and shadow overseas aid secretary Andrew Mitchell will be taking part in projects abroad.
Ms Jowell will spend part of her summer break volunteering on a scheme to help impoverished children from the slums of Mumbai.
The Olympics Minister will fly to India at her own expense, by budget airline, to help take 40 "ragpicker" children on an adventure holiday with the charity Magic Bus, one of the Olympic Inspiration programme causes. She will spend time with field volunteers, giving them a course in leadership development during the private visit.
Energetic Ms Jowell will also use her summer holidays to get fitter.
After spending a few days walking in Scotland with Labour friends, she heads for a "boot camp" in the Peak District to be pushed to the limit.
Mr Mitchell will be leading Project Umubano, in late July and August, in Rwanda and Sierra Leone with more than 100 Conservative volunteers, including shadow Cabinet members, councillors and constituency activists.
Birdwatching on the Norfolk Broads is where Tory party chairman Eric Pickles will be found.
Simon Hughes, MP for North Southwark and Bermondsey and Lib-Dem climate change spokesman, has booked a boating holiday in the north of England, as well as planning to spend time in north Wales.
Transport minister Sadiq Khan, MP for Tooting, hasn't finalised plans but may spend his holidays, like his last, rediscovering London with his young daughter.

What's your favourite film? The question often comes up. I can't restrict myself to one. I can give you five at a push – a Fassbinder, a Buñuel, maybe The Palm Beach Story if I'm trying to persuade you I'm a fun guy and you really should come out to dinner with me.
But always in my mind are those unkempt children in the back row, messing up the nice, neat school photograph with their unwashed faces and nose-picking. Your secrets will find you out. In other words, I could bore the legs off you talking about Renoir or Eisenstein, but the fact remains that my recall of the topless mud-wrestling scene in Stripes is as impeccable as my memory of anything in La Regle du Jeu or Battleship Potemkin. You have no more control over the films to which you gravitate in your youth than you do over your parents' hairstyles. Face it. You're a Breakfast Club person. That woman over there is a Blue Lagoon. I'm a Stripes.
I would like to find a non-ingratiating way of saying this to Ivan Reitman, who directed Meatballs (1979) and Stripes (1981) as well as Ghostbusters (1984) and its 1989 sequel, but when I meet him the atmosphere is slightly stiff. Still, I tell him I was brought up on his movies. He gives a little snort. "Whenever people say that to me, I'm not sure how to take it," he says with palpable discomfort. Great. I was all set to reel off some of that Stripes dialogue to prove I wasn't bluffing – maybe Bill Murray's charmless attempt to get his girlfriend to stay ("You can't leave! All the plants are gonna die!"). Now it seems we'll just have to talk about Reitman's new movie. Ho-hum.
Evolution is a science-fiction comedy with David Duchovny leading the fight against an alien invasion. And if the graft of gross-out humour on to science fiction never quite takes, this could be because Evolution began life as a straight-arrow thriller. Reitman bought the script, saw the funny side and stuck his oar in. "I was especially drawn to the original script's idea of an alien invasion that's on organic, biological terms. It was an interesting idea that I hadn't seen before."
That's not strictly true: Reitman produced Shivers (1975) and Rabid (1977), early works by his fellow Torontonian, David Cronenberg, which were based on that very idea. "I hadn't thought of that," he laughs, sounding genuinely surprised. "That whole organic thing is very Cronenbergian, isn't it? Having said that, I think Evolution is much funnier than David's films." Oh dear. How could I tell him I laughed more during Crash than Evolution?
After parting company with Cronenberg, Reitman went on to produce a stage revue brimming with performers who would later define American film comedy – Bill Murray, John Belushi, Gilda Radner, Harold Ramis. Despite the success of the movies that sprung from this – including National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), which Reitman produced – he evidently feels as though he has been written out of the history of American comedy, and is keen, perhaps too keen, to set the record straight.
"With comedy, people tend to think that you just get some funny guys in a room, turn the camera on and 'boom!' whereas I like to think that I had something to do with it. It's more than just organisation, you know. It's a perspective and a tone that I applied judiciously."
He claims that his only goal was to "create a good time". Fair enough. But he must know that he has not yet generated in his own work the complexities and ambiguities that his old chums Murray and Ramis went on to unearth in Groundhog Day (1993). "I just make the kind of movies I would like to see," he shrugs. "What I'm proud of in my work when I look back on it is the continuity – a recognisable style where people thought there was none."
Style is perhaps the wrong word, but there are undoubtedly prevailing concerns in his work. The movies are languid, with a counter-cultural bias best epitomised by the slobs who become heroes on their own terms in Stripes. And there are standard Reitman preoccupations that surface again in Evolution, including: fat people are inherently funny. And: bureaucracy is bad (the villain in Ghostbusters was the environmental health department, while an Ordinary Joe triumphed over White House fuddy-duddies in Dave, the 1993 comedy, which is Reitman's most subtle work).
Throughout our meeting I sense a hazardous area around which I am tiptoeing. It's known as Ivan Reitman's recent work. Admittedly, I do raise the subject of Arnold Schwarzenegger, with whom Reitman toiled on a trio of successively more disheartening films – Twins (1988), Kindergarten Cop (1990) and Junior (1994). Those movies were calculated stabs at diversification from a star who had predicted and feared his own dimming. You have only to hear the story of Reitman's first meeting with Schwarzenegger – the actor approached him with the words: "You're that Ghostbusters guy. I could be a Ghostbuster" – to experience again the naked desperation of that misguided trilogy.
Reitman may be on to something with his assessment of why Junior, in which Schwarzenegger had a bun in the oven, was not quite a hit. "Young men were pissed off that I had taken this macho icon and turned him on his head. I had crossed the line." Put like that, the picture sounds subversive. In reality, it marked the beginning of a mediocre stretch during which Reitman was clawing at the air, hoping to chance upon a handful of his old irreverence. But he found only Six Days, Seven Nights (1998), a laborious romantic comedy, and the jaundiced farce Father's Day (1997). There was fatigue in every frame of those movies, and when Reitman talks now about how the film industry has changed, the frustration and weariness come at you in waves; you hear a man for whom goofing around just isn't a breeze anymore.
"Audiences have become jaded. Everyone is interested in grosses now. Then there are the internet people. Do you know that Evolution had its script reviewed while we were shooting? All this insider yapping creates intense moviegoers, but it also creates disdain for the whole creative process. Then there's the fact that few film-makers preside over studios anymore, they're all run by big corporations, the movies are more expensive." So much for evolution.Reuse content

Hollywood, California – In an exciting turn of events on Thursday, DreamWorks Studios announced that it has finished filming a new movie in honor of the fallen Olive Garden restaurant chain and the prehistoric dinosaur that started it all, Breadsterastyx.
"It's a great opportunity for us to be able to finally portray this delicious animal on the big screen," said Director Steven Spielberg, who loved working alongside Actor Richard Dreyfuss nearly 40 years after filming the thriller, Jaws. Read the full story

In 1915, the poet Edward Thomas had enlisted, and somebody asked him what he was fighting for. He bent down and picked up a pinch of earth from the ground, letting it crumble between finger and thumb: "Literally, for this."
It sounds like a parody of patriotism. He doesn't cast a sweeping hand over the contours of the beloved landscape. He stresses the extremity of his feeling for England's land by fixing it on to a mere soil sample. Not any ideal, not any beauty, the sheer matter of this earth is what he will die for (as two years later he did). But in the conceptual distance between that smidgen of dirt, and the enormous meaning attached to it, Thomas's gesture seems like a piece of contemporary art.
It is very hard, though, to imagine an actual piece of contemporary art that would carry this sort of sentiment. In general, contemporary art and the countryside are chalk and cheese. Contemporary art believes in the city. The city is modern, progressive, secular, cosmopolitan, fragmented, conflicted, while the country is nostalgic, conservative, spiritual, national, unified, pacified – all wrong and boring. And the city, of course, is where art is made and shown and sold and talked about.
Conversely (and I don't think I'm alone), when I'm in the countryside I find it difficult to fix my attention at all on contemporary art. When I'm in London, for better or worse, it occupies my mind quite a lot. When I'm among the hills and trees and wind it seems like a bit of remote metropolitan gossip, roughly on the level of the congestion charge. I do think about some art in the countryside: Poussin's landscapes, for example, and Paul Nash; seldom anything more recent.
Yet, since I believe art should be universal, and there shouldn't be a great field of experience on which it is simply blank, and since I observe that, in their lives, contemporary-arty people are by no means indifferent to the draw of the countryside – well, I conclude that the countryside of the present is a kind of artistic blind-spot, a challenge waiting to be met. Somewhere along the line it got lost.
Ancient Landscapes – Pastoral Visions: Samuel Palmer to the Ruralists is an exhibition at Southampton City Art Gallery about the art of the English countryside. It tells a story, which looks to me like the story of something going wrong. But that isn't how the show sees it, and it wouldn't be so useful if it did. The story is, at any rate, a true history. It isolates a particular line of succession in English landscape. It bypasses the big, blustery, gassy views of Constable and Turner, to focus on the more small-scale, mystical, land-centred tradition. What's useful is that it comes up to date.
It begins in the 1820s with the first English avant-garde, the Ancients, Samuel Palmer and his friends, making their visionary home in Shoreham, Kent. It picks up, after a big jump, with the rustic English Modernism of the 1920s to 1940s – Paul Nash, Graham Sutherland, John Craxton, John Minton, Eric Ravilious. It ends with that curious 1970s art manifestation, the Brotherhood of Ruralists.
The show constantly intercuts between these three chapters, and particularly (since it doesn't have much of the Ancients to show) between the works of the Modernists and the Ruralists: the idea is to make continuities more apparent than differences. And it gives special prominence – as if he were the continuing standard-bearer of the line – to the recent work of one former Ruralist, Graham Ovenden.
If things had been shown in sequence it would have been clearer – and it is clear enough, anyway – that this tradition has become, as it's gone on, increasingly desperate. But it might be truer, and actually more encouraging, to put it another way. The tradition was desperate from the start. It went wrong when it forgot this, and decided it was about making things nice.
That well-known desperado William Blake was its true originator. His 17 woodcut illustrations to a translation of Virgil's pastoral poems are among the smallest and most influential works of English art. Some are in the show. Each is a strip about the size of big postage stamp, a tiny glimpse of an alternative world beyond.
Palmer responded vividly: "They are visions of little dells, and nooks, and corners of paradise... There is in all such a mystic, a dreamy glimmer as penetrates and kindles the innermost soul, and gives complete and unreserved delight, unlike the gaudy daylight of the world."
Blake's woodcuts are certainly dark, though not all are nocturnes, and their tightly confined miniaturism makes them feel like enclosed little worlds. Those qualities Palmer forged into his own womb-like icons of the English village. Dark even when it's day, the land lies snugly between a framing arch of trees. Hills hump up, clouds close in, sleeping sheep and fields of sheaves are safely tucked together.
Unlike Blake, Palmer was a militant Tory, anti-industrial, anti-democratic. His vision is powerfully defensive. Everything is enfolded, cradled, oystered, with a bright central moon or a glimmering spire as the ruling heart of the cluster. It's a world that holds us: a close, stable and integrated cosmos of nature, sky, agriculture, worship.
But when Palmer's example was taken up by artists between the wars, it wasn't just as a conservative alternative to Continental modernism. Palmer could only catch on because – with his simple shapes and tight design – he already looked like modern art. Some imitators used this idiom to create a nostalgic embracing nookiness. Others found weirdness in it, and anxiety.
I'm sorry that Sutherland is such a weak and cautious painter. His ideas are good. Those half abstracted hieroglyphs of natural forms – compounding knots, nests, roots, spikes, holes – promise a "green" Francis Bacon, but they never deliver.
Nash is made of stronger, stranger stuff. He has a taste for megaliths and long barrows and blasted trunks, but they don't appear with the impact you might expect, as calmly ancient and spiritual symbols – rather, as odd and inexplicable forms that have arrived out of nowhere. His sense of landscape never recovered from the Western Front. It's both numinous and tortured.
But the Brotherhood of Ruralists was a wilfully retro and escapist movement. Elsewhere in the British art world the first wave of conceptualism was at its height. (Richard Long did nature by making carefully plotted geometrical walks.) This group of seven painters, with Peter Blake at their head, were off to the land of faerie.
True, only by narrow art world standards could that seem an utterly untimely development. There were plenty of hippie-minded people around in the mid-1970s with similar tendencies, and these artists certainly struck a chord: an entire edition of the Arden Shakespeare had cover illustrations commissioned from the Ruralists.
Like the hippies, though, they never had much sense of what they were up against. They thought it was enough to say "let's pretend", but they didn't see that their imagination of mystical, deep, England had already been fully colonised by commercial imagery. Their pristine visions of an unfallen world came straight from a pretty advert for soap or air-freshener.
They had their moments. There's always been a bit of neo-surreal hauntedness in David Inshaw's work, with its hard, long shadows falling across flat grass. But for the curator of the show to make Ovenden the living hero of the story can only be evidence of close personal friendship. If I really wanted to put someone off the English countryside I'd do it with Ovendens and their emetic combination of lurid colour, featureless smoothness and air-brushed soft-focus.
The point of the countryside is not to be an escape route, but a line of resistance. Life in the modern world, with all its benefits, has always carried a feeling that things have gone horribly wrong. The countryside, with its remnants of unmodernity, is one way of strengthening that necessary feeling.
Art that does this properly will, of course, show signs of struggle. It won't have the slick serenity of the Ruralists – nor indeed the pixie craftsmanship of Andy Goldsworthy. Its pastoral visions will have a bunker mentality like Palmer, or a battlefield mentality like Nash. And I dare say there's some decent art still to be made on this ground.

How To Not Tarnish Relationships
The following examples featured in this post are fictional. Any resemblance to any real people, living or dead is purely coincidental. In the unfortunate case that this relates to you or someone you know, please continue to read and do share…. This is the first feature in a series of #EducatedShade from Co-Founders of GenYnot, Jordan + Jamira. Look out for the next post from your uncertified life coaches that are professionally bout that life.
1. Be Transparent
No matter what type of relationship you're in, transparency is essential, yet too many humans shy away from being clear about what it is they want. What are your expectations? What are your short-term goals? What are your long term goals? What do you expect to gain from this potential relationship? Maybe you wa
nt dinner at that fancy restaurant you heard has great shrimp and grits, maybe you're one of those humans that likes adding bullet points to your 3 page resume, or maybe you want to finally use that MBA degree you paid for. Be clear about your expectations, that way, both parties can be held accountable for fulfilling the other's needs. If you aren't clear in the beginning, yes it is of common folk behavior to go Solange on someone because your covert goal wasn't met. No you are not allowed to assume that they know what you want. Assuming is for babies, be a BOSS and be clear about what it is you want at the beginning of the relationship. Be like water my friend.
2. Do Relative Work
As millennials we have the tendency to juggle 1,000,001 tasks because we think that if we have just one more volunteer hour or internship than the next person, that some how makes us more qualified. Truth is…it doesn't, what you do at that internship or volunteer opportunity makes you qualified, not the number of hours or positions you can add to your five-page resume. So if you are going to force yourself to not have any type of social life, at least do it for something that makes sense and not just to eliminate the empty space on your CV.
3. Give Your Word & Keep It
Life happens. Sometimes it happens fast. Sometimes we get an opportunity that we don't expect. Sometimes an opportunity that we expected to be fruitful and multiply, ends up being as mediocre as movie theater hotdogs. In the midst of life happening, you must be mindful of your integrity. Your character is all you have. It's simple to verbally commit to completing a task for someone, but when your lips utter the words "Yes", "I will", "I got you" or any other verbal commitments, honor it. This doesn't mean if you are no longer getting your way you can flake at all costs. Can flaking ever be justified? I'll be happy to answer that, no. There will be many times that you've put in lots of hours, days, and months of work without your goals coming to fruition. Oh well, it's life. Meditate on the lessons learned and keep it pushing after you've followed through on your commitment. This isn't true for me personally, but sometimes you don't get what you want. If you do flake, that's cool too. Just be mindful that people talk about flakes that inspired them to enroll in the more yoga classes. And they won't say nice things.
4. You Don't Really Know That Person
Are you one of those people who consistently feel the need to drop names of people you don't really know? Well if you want to build sustainable relationships with a foundation of trust, then please reevaluate your life– just because you happen to follow someone on Twitter or randomly jumped in front of them in Starbucks, doesn't make you besties. So please refrain from dropping names to legitimize your work and instead, do something that is noteworthy. Let your work speak for itself.
5. Learn To Say No
Learn to say no and don't explain yourself. Why are you explaining yourself? It's ok to say no to an opportunity or a favor without you feeling the need to say "I'm sorry" or " I wish I could but", no…stop and stop caring about how people are going to perceive your refusal to do "yet" another favor and more than likely at the risk of your own #selfcare. Hell for all anyone knows, you could be spending the next ten hours catching up on Scandal and no you don't want to go and volunteer for that community clean up… and that's ok, just try not to Instagram your couch potato status. Trust I've told a number of people to kick rocks…bare-foot but that doesn't mean I don't love them any less.

British Airways passengers will be able to check in their suitcases in their front room at home and travel to their airport without heavy baggage from later this month.
The airline is launching the new service for passengers living inside the M25 and flying from Heathrow, Gatwick and London City airports.
It has teamed up with the London- based developers of the AirPortr app to reduce the hassle of the journey to the airport and shave up to an hour off the time spent in the terminal ahead of a flight.
Once the service has been booked on the app, an AirPortr team will arrive at the home address, weigh the baggage, slap a tracking bar code on and seal it in an "anti-tamper" bag before taking it to the airport.
At the terminal it is removed from the bag, passed through an X-ray machine and put in the airport's normal baggage handling system.
The passenger picks up the bag as normal from the luggage carousel at the destination.
Passengers have to book a slot for the service, which costs between £20 and £40, at least seven hours ahead of the departure time.
AirPortr co-founder and chief executive Randel Darby said the pick up team should spend no more than five minutes at the passenger's home or hotel. He said it had taken 18 months and £7 million of funding to develop the "game-changing" service.
Mr Darby was inspired to develop AirPortr after going to Gatwick on a hot day and struggling with his bags on the Gatwick Express.
He said: "I thought there has got to be a service out there that allows me to hand over my bags and get them taken straight to the hotel. But there was nothing and I was thinking 'I can't be the only person in the city with that sort of frustration.'"
The check in service for a single bag costs £20 from homes or hotels close to airports, £30 in "central London" — which covers all of zone 1 and parts of zone 2 — and £40 from "Greater London", which covers the rest of the capital and suburbs out to the M25. Additional bags are £10 each.
Any baggage that British Airways is prepared to carry, including sports equipment such at golf clubs, is eligible for the check-in service if it does not exceed the 23kg weight allowance.
Combined with online seat check-in, the service means that all BA passengers in London can go straight to security when they arrive at the airport.
The service went live today for booking on flights from October 26.
