Whether you have aspirations of one day selling out auditoriums, or are already there, a great amplifier cabinet can easily make or break your sound. With more than enough options available, you can easily maintain your signature sound while making sure it is loud enough for everyone to hear it. Choosing a head and cabinet over a combo option for your amplifier makes the most sense if you are looking for maximum volume to fill larger spaces. Many guitar legends swear by their stacks, and why wouldn't they? The sound, tone, and volume these amazing cabinets can produce are second to none. When you're looking for an amplifier cabinet there are a number of factors to consider. First of all, do you want an open-back cabinet or a closed-back? An open-back will offer you a louder sound, but it will also be a little bit looser. A closed back provides a tight sound that is more focused, but won't reach the same decibel levels its open-back counterpart. Next, you will want to look at speakers, because when picking out a cabinet, size definitely matters. Different speakers produce different sounds. Larger cones produce better bass frequencies, while smaller cones produce better treble frequencies. Even beyond that, different manufacturers give their speakers unique flourishes. It's all a matter of what works for you. After deciding on the size of the speakers you're looking for, the next logical decision to make is how many speakers do you want? If you're looking for massive sounds, 4 x 12 speaker cabinets worked wonders for Pete Townshend, but if you're interested in something with a little more portability, the Friedman Pink Taco 112 may be an ideal choice for you. It's important to strike a balance between the sound and volume you want and the portability and convenience you need. Guitar amplifier cabinets have been a staple in popular music for decades. Filling arenas with power chords and blazing solos, these cabinets will bring your guitar work to life. Whether you're shopping around for your first amplifier cabinet, or making a serious upgrade, there is a wide assortment of sound and power available to you.

Obama Makes Gay Marriage More Like Straight Marriage
(NEWSER) – The White House is rolling out a slew of reforms today that will extend to same-sex married couples many of the federal benefits long reserved for straight couples. And in "almost all instances," the couples will get those benefits whether the state they live in recognizes same-sex marriage or not, an official tells the New York Times. The changes include:
- The IRS will now recognize same-sex couples
- Immigration law will treat same-sex couples the same as heterosexual ones
- Same-sex spouses of federal employees will get health and life insurance
- Employees of private firms will be able to take leave to tend to same-sex spouses under the Family and Medical Leave Act.

Is the way to go. Is all about opinions I know but if u have nothing better to say peace off.
I've never had a problem discussing with people maturely different points of views and preference, I just have a hard time understanding why Fandroids aren't going to modmymobile and expressing their hatred for Apple and love for Androids there.
I wonder if Android forums get the same type of thing where Apple fanboys go into their threads and start trolling. I'm just not sure I see the point in it. If people think an iPhone and all things Apple are pieces of junk why are you even here reading about them? Seems like an awfully big waste of time IMO.
Well i been on this site for a while also owned every iphone since day one,a few weeks ago i switched to the s3,never going back to the iphone but that's me personally,everything about the s3 in my view owns the iphone ,tho id give the iphone the mp3 options/and siri but other than that the s3 is better all around
if apple fixed up ios and redesigned there phone maybe id consider it but it really needs a lot of fixing.also love the fact that i don't need to jail break my phone for anything so far,everything stock is already there for me.not to mention the battery life is amazing on the s3 compared to my 4s or any iphone for that matter,i can go on and on but i know id be called a troll or a hater etc
to each there own tho. hope everyone enjoys either device they go with,but what ever you do stay away from sprint crappy service
verizon 4g lte i am hitting 30 mb down and 17 mb up and i have hit higher than that in manhattan nyc
Hey All:
1st post here...and am a really recent convert with a 32g 4s and loving it..I have had androids since they first came out...so I know a little bit about how they work with 3 of the major carriers.I'm on ATT with my Iphone..and have to say the over all experience is way better...even if this one is not the latest and greatest thing since sliced bread came out..lol...lol
FWIW...I had 3 of the new G3's...and took all of them back.Each one had a major battery issue..and also had the battery plummet issue along with poor wi-fi connecting and LTE connecting..I did love the larger screen..but..even with it..and all of the other goodies it had wasn't enough for me to keep them. I need a phone that is not buggy..and works out of the box...without having to root it and put a custom rom on it to make it just stable enough for a daily driver.
While the new US G3 is feature packed..that really is not as much as what they are trying to let on..What good does all the eye candy do except drain the battery faster than normal...and I was lucky to get a 1/2 days use out of mine with everything turned off on it..not to mention having to reboot the thing at least 5 times a week just to make it function.
You guys already know Samsung is full of crap...they always have been since the first Galaxy came out the Captivate...which I still own and play with....and it has taken 3 years for them to get where they are with this new version...and they still are using their customers for Beta testers..Nothing like having to join a class action lawsuit against them just to get issues corrected..which many are doing..so...I don't see anything changing anytime soon...Samsung is about the slowest company to fix any issue with their phones..
While the G3 is a nice phone for those who have a fully functional one..they still are 1/2 baked..and one of the latest features (NFC) won't be really usable till the rest of the world decides to upgrade their equipment..and let me tell you about all of those nifty extras like tilt and zoom and all of that...Run all of those proximity sensors for any length of time and see just how much usage you get out of it..
In all honesty...I have had it with buggy phones...and is the reason I chose the 4s as my first Iphone...my kids are all happy since I was a hold out against them...just because I thought I wanted the freedom of a open source OS...well they can keep it..I spent all my free time fiddling around with it..searching for a better custom rom..a better radio so I could actually hear someone calling me on the phone..changing things around...I don't mind changing things..and will most likely jail break my 4s sometime after IOS 6 comes out...but the great thing to me is I don't have to...just to have a rock solid stable phone..and take it from a long term Android fan...I really like the ease of being able to restore these phones with I Tunes with just a click..
I really hope and pray Apple never gives into the marketing scams that Samsung is promoting...and hope they don't release something till it is fully baked and ready for consumption...This is one of the main differences that makes Apple stand above all of the others..and why I made the switch...
While the G3 looks nice on the outside...and does have a lot of nice things going for it..It will never replace the Iphone..not really...Those that know and demand quality over all know this as well..
If you guys want to see all the issues the new G3 has..head over to the xda forums and search it out...you will see exactly what I mean.
Sorry for the long first post...and look forward to talking to you all
Because its so impossible for someone to have there own opinion on what is better or not. Lol
The dude is just an angry troll that is probably a closet apple fan (why else would he be here).
FanDroids eat your hearts out. http://www.idownloadblog.com/2012/09...ark-geekbench/

Cheap Trick files lawsuit over 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest stage collapse
Listen to Cheap Trick on iHeartRadio
Cheap Trick is taking legal action over the 2011 Ottawa Bluesfest stage collapse that put their lives in jeopardy. The band was just 20 minutes into their set at the Canadian festival when they were hit with a wind gust of more than 70-miles-per-hour, forcing them to flee the stage just seconds before it went down.
The "Ottawa Citizen" says the group details a list of 29 allegations in their lawsuit, including claims that the promoters prioritized profits over safety and didn't provide accurate, up-to-date information on weather conditions. Band members escaped injury in the incident, but one of their roadies was hurt in the collapse.
Cheap Trick is seeking $1 million in damages. $400,000 covers the equipment the group lost in the collapse, and the other $600,000 compensates the group for expenses incured to replace their equipment and continue their tour.

Topic: Urgent Need for Research Participants!
I just saw this on the Cholangiocarcinoma foundation home page:
Urgent Need for Research Participants!
This is a project that is trying to help narrow down the genetic causes of CC by looking at younger patients.
I wanted to post a notice on the forums, because I surf the forums a lot, but rarely look at the foundation home page. I didn't see this notice, and this is research from my project team (Cholangio In The Young -- CITY)! Moreover, my wife is under 50 and could contribute to the effort (so we are a target consumer of the bulletin)
In case others are also more focused on the forums, I wanted to bring this important bulletin to your attention.

Today is Sunday, July 14, the 195th day of 2013. There are 170 days left in the year.
Today's Highlight in History:
On July 14, 1913, Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr., the 38th president of the United States, was born Leslie Lynch King Jr. in Omaha, Neb.
On this date:
In 1789, during the French Revolution, citizens of Paris stormed the Bastille prison and released the seven prisoners inside.
In 1853, Commodore Matthew Perry relayed to Japanese officials a letter from President Millard Fillmore requesting trade relations. (Fillmore's term of office had already expired by the time the letter was delivered.)
In 1881, outlaw William H. Bonney Jr., alias "Billy the Kid," was shot and killed by Sheriff Pat Garrett in Fort Sumner in present-day New Mexico.
In 1911, Harry N. Atwood became the first pilot to land an airplane (a Wright Model B biplane) on the grounds of the White House after flying in from Boston; he was greeted by President William Howard Taft.
In 1921, Italian-born anarchists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti were convicted in Dedham, Mass., of murdering a shoe company paymaster and his guard. (Sacco and Vanzetti were executed six years later.)
In 1933, all German political parties, except the Nazi Party, were outlawed. Cartoon character Popeye the Sailor made his movie debut in the Fleischer Studios animated short, "Popeye the Sailor."
In 1943, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed a measure providing funds for a national monument honoring scientist George Washington Carver; the monument was built at Carver's birthplace near Diamond, Mo.
In 1960, British researcher Jane Goodall arrived at the Gombe (GAHM'-bay) Stream Reserve in the Tanganyika Territory (in present-day Tanzania) to begin her famous study of chimpanzees in the wild.
In 1966, eight student nurses were murdered by Richard Speck in a Chicago dormitory.
In 1976, Jimmy Carter won the Democratic presidential nomination at the party's convention in New York.

Here's a brief look at the highlights of week five of the college football season, a week filled with tons of offense and exciting finishes which kicked off the start of conference play for many teams across the country. The rankings used in this recap are the AP Rankings from prior to the games.
#9 West Virginia 70, #25 Baylor 63: On a record breaking day on both sides of the field, Mountaineers QB Geno Smith held nothing back as he threw for 656 yards and eight TDs, helping to amass a school-record 807 yards of offense. Baylor just ran out of time as it tied an FBS record for most points scored by a losing team in the highest scoring game in Big 12 history.
#1 Alabama 33, Ole Miss 14: Ole Miss proved to be a bit more challenging than expected as they led the Crimson Tide for a short time, something that no other team has accomplished this season. Alabama's offense struggled at times, but the defense picked up the slack as it rolled past the Rebels. #2 Oregon 51, Washington State 26: After an evenly matched first-half, a different Ducks squad came to play in the second-half to take down the Cougars, producing its longest scoring drive, by plays, of the season and a nearly flawless third quarter. #4 Florida State 30, South Florida 17: FSU's first road game was a challenge and was closer than the score may indicate as South Florida's QB B.J. Daniels performance (143 yards passing, 72 yards rushing and 2 touchdowns) helped to keep the Bulls in the game.
#5 Georgia 51, Tennessee 44: In the highest scoring game ever between the SEC rivals, Georgia made the plays when they counted the most, producing 282 yards rushing, to hold on after losing a 17-point lead to beat Tennessee. #12 Texas 41, Oklahoma State 36: Oklahoma State took the lead with 2:34 to play, but Texas QB David Ash stepped up under pressure and led the Longhorns to the winning drive, capped by a 2-yard TD run by RB Joe Bergeron with 29 seconds left on the clock, ending Texas' two-year home-losing streak to the Cowboys. #22 Nebraska 30, Wisconsin 27: Nebraska QB Taylor Martinez led the Huskers out of a 17-point hole for the second-largest comeback in Nebraska history as the Huskers kept Wisconsin scoreless in the fourth quarter. #19 Louisville 21, Southern Miss 17: Playing in a literal monsoon, the Cardinals trailed 17-6 midway through the second quarter, but scored 15 unanswered points for the win, including the game-winning TD run by Louisville RB Senorise Perry.
Washington 17, #8 Stanford 13: In a stunning defensive effort by the Huskies, Washington held the Cardinal to just 235 yards of total offense, the fewest yards allowed since 2010, and no offensive TDs, which has not happened to Stanford since Oct. 27, 2007 as the Huskies pulled off the only Top 25 upset of the week. #14 Ohio State 17, #20 Michigan State 16: Buckeyes QB Braxton Miller stepped up as well as the defense, which held the Spartans star RB Le'Veon Bell to only 45 yards rushing, as Ohio State continues its quest for a perfect season. #18 Oregon State 38, Arizona 35: Oregon State QB Sean Mannion threw a career-high 433 yards and connected with TE Connor Hamlett on a 9-yard pass with 1:09 left to put the Beavers over the Wildcats for good. #24 Boise State 32, New Mexico 29: In a tale of two halves, the Broncos started off strong, but if the Lobos had been given any more time, they might have pulled off the upset as they baffled the Boise State defense with their triple-option offense in a game plagued by turnovers.
#6 South Carolina 38, Kentucky 17: After trailing 17-7 at halftime and being held to just 26 yards rushing in the first half, South Carolina adjusted its game plan and outrushed Kentucky 174-7 in the second half and scored 31 unanswered points as RB Marcus Lattimore, who rushed 23 times for 120 yards and two TDs, had another spectacular outing. #15 TCU 24, SMU 16: TCU earned the Iron Skillet Trophy and extended their winning streak to 12, the nation's longest active winning streak, despite scoring just three points on 27 yards of offense in the second half. #17 Clemson 45, Boston College 31: BC led 21-17 before giving up three unanswered touchdowns which put the Tigers ahead for good as Clemson QB Tajh Boyd and WR DeAndre Hopkins, who had a school-record 197 receiving yards, both had stellar performances.

The top quarterback performances from each week will be posted giving you the chance to vote for that you think was the best effort each week of the college football season.
While 25 quarterbacks are on the Manning Award Watch List, additional players may be added later in the season and every quarterback in the country remains eligible for the honor. Here's a look at the best performances of the second week of the football season:
David Ash, Texas 30-of-37, 304 yards, 3 TDs, 1 INT Ash converts on a crucial fourth-and-four late in the fourth quarter to keep Texas alive on what proved to be the game-winning drive as he leads the Longhorns to a 41-36 road victory over Oklahoma State.
Derek Carr, Fresno State 42-of-56, 536 yards, 5 TDs, 2 INT Carr becomes the first Bulldog quarterback to throw for 500 yards since his older brother David in 2001 as he leads Fresno State to a 52-40 victory over San Diego State in its Mountain West debut.
Zac Dysert, Miami (Ohio) 34-of-49, 516 yards, 6 TDs, 0 INT Dysert's 104 rushing yards make him the first player in FBS history to pass for 500 and rush for 100 as he turns in a memorable performance, throwing a school-record six touchdowns and leading the Red Hawks to the go-ahead score with 1:04 to go in a key 56-49 MAC victory over Akron.
Nick Florence, Baylor 29-of-47, 581 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT Florence, who also rushes for a touchdown, breaks RGIII's school record for passing yards, leading the Bears to 63 points, but it's not enough in a wild 70-63 loss to West Virginia.
Sean Mannion, Oregon State 29-of-45, 433 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT Mannion sets his career-high for passing yards and delivers a 9-yard touchdown pass with 1:09 to go to maintain the Beavers' perfect season with a thrilling 38-35 victory over Arizona.
Johnny Manziel, Texas A&M 29-of-38, 453 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INT Manziel sets a school record for passing yards and an SEC record for total offense as he adds 104 rushing yards to lead the Aggies to their first SEC win, 58-10, over Arkansas.
Stephen Morris, Miami 26-of-49, 566 yards, 5 TDs, 1 INT Morris throws for a school- and ACC-record number of yards and wrap up the afternoon with a 62-yard touchdown strike with 19 seconds to go to lift the Hurricanes to a 44-37 over North Carolina State.
Geno Smith, West Virginia 45-of-51, 656 yards, 8 TDs, 0 INT Smith has a simply sensational performance, tying the conference record for TD passes and setting school marks for TDs, passing yards and completions as the Mountaineers need every point in a wild 70-63 win over Baylor in their Big 12 debut.
#24 Northwestern at Penn State (11 a.m., ESPN): In a bit of role reversal, nationally-ranked Northwestern will battle unranked Penn State - the improving Nittany Lions will provide the Wildcats their toughest challenge of the year.
#4 LSU at #10 Florida (2:30 p.m., CBS): The Tigers have dropped a couple of spots in the rankings after unimpressive wins, but they will regain much respect if they can handle the Gators on the road in a top-10 showdown that may not be the best SEC game of the week.
#17 Oklahoma at Texas Tech (2:30 p.m., ESPN2/ABC): The Sooners haven't won in Lubbock since 2003, but The Red Raiders haven't won a home Big 12 games since 2010.
#5 Georgia at #6 South Carolina (6 p.m., ESPN): ESPN's GameDay picked this game between the two favorites in the SEC East.
#8 West Virginia at #11 Texas (6 p.m., Fox): After Geno Smith's sensational performance this past Saturday, fans and pundits alike will be very interested to see how he fares on the road against the Longhorn's superior defense.
Miami at #9 Notre Dame (6:30 p.m., NBC): The Hurricanes are not at the levels they achieved during their powerhouse years, but they have used late-game heroics to improve to 4-1 and may prove to be a challenge for the undefeated Fighting Irish.
#21 Nebraska at #12 Ohio State (7 p.m., ABC): The Buckeyes, who are not eligible for postseason play, continue to impress, while Nebraska is coming off a solid comeback win over Nebraska.
#23 Washington at #2 Oregon (9:30 p.m., ESPN): SEC fans will be keeping a close watch on this game between a Husky team that was overwhelmed by LSU and the second-ranked team in the nation.

American Lyric Theater Presents THE LIVING LIBRETTO at National Opera Center Tonight
American Lyric Theater presents the next installment in its popular series, The Living Libretto, at the National Opera Center, tonight, February 6th, 2013. Featuring guest actors from the Broadway and off-Broadway stage, each event is the culminating reading of extensive libretto workshops conducted for new operas currently being written by ALT Resident Artists.
The reading of THE LONG WALK by librettist Stephanie Fleischmann and composer Jeremy Howard Beck will be directed by Debbie Saivetz, and will feature Ted Schneider, Birgit Huppuch, Bobby Plascenia, Nate Miller, Brendan Spieth, Annie McNamara, Ashley Bryant, Zac Ballard, and Mercer Patterson. Following the reading, there will be an open discussion with the artists moderated by ALT's Producing Artistic Director, Lawrence Edelson. A wine and cheese reception with Ms. Fleischmann and Mr. Beck will precede the event.
Commissioned by American Lyric Theater in 2012, and recently awarded a developmental grant from OPERA America's Opera Fund, THE LONG WALK, is based on Brian Castner's critically acclaimed book of the same name, which describes a soldier's return from Iraq where he served as an officer in an Explosive Ordnance Disposal unit and his battle with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder as he tries to reintegrate himself into his family life upon his return from the war. (To view a video preview about THE LONG WALK, visit www.altnyc.org/new-operas-for-new-audiences/the-long-walk.
For Jeremy Howard Beck, writing music is an integral, urgent part of a life lived in search of extremes, adventures, and adrenaline. Lifelong passions for roller coasters and gymnastics have lent his music intense, visceral physicality and emotional immediacy. His music has been performed across the country: at MYTHOS, a concert benefiting Education Through Music (Los Angeles, California), the Bang on a Can Summer Festival at MASSMoCA (Massachusetts), the International Trombone Festival (Austin, Texas), the Norfolk Chamber Music Festival (Connecticut), and New York venues including The Cell, Galapagos Art Space, The Tank, and the Gershwin Hotel. He is the recipient of a 2011 ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composer Award, and his first symphony, Metropolis, was awarded Honorable Mention in the 2010 ASCAP/CBDNA Frederick Fennell Prize competition. Jeremy is a Co-Director of Detour, a modular new music ensemble, composer collective, and commissioning organization. He also serves on the board of directors of Choral Chameleon, a choir specializing in new music. An active trombonist, he recently performed with TILT Brass in Super Critical Mass's Swelter at the Central Park Lake as part of Make Music New York, and performs regularly with the Chelsea Symphony and the Detour New Music Ensemble. He is the first Composer-in-Residence of the Guidonian Hand Trombone Quartet. Jeremy holds degrees from The Juilliard School (MM, '10), where he studied with John Corigliano and Christopher Rouse, and NYU (BM, '07), where he studied with Mark Adamo and Deniz Hughes. Jeremy joined the Composer Librettist Development Program in the 2011-12 season, during which he developed the one-act opera Another Sky with librettist Stephanie Fleischmann. He continues his collaboration with Fleischmann this season as they begin the development of The Long Walk.
Stephanie Fleischmann is a playwright and librettist/lyricist whose texts serve as blueprints for intricate three-dimensional sonic and visual worlds, encompassing non-traditional music-theater and installation. A "neo Emily Dickinson" (Backstage) and "a writer who can conjure something between a dreamy road movie and a theatrical coming-of-age tale, and who can piece these elements together in the style of a jagged ballad for guitar" (Chicago Sun-Times), she is an alumnus of New Dramatists and a former Playwrights Center Core Writer. Her work has been performed internationally and across the U.S. Stephanie received a NYSCA Individual Artist Theater Commission for her libretto for the multimedia music-theater work, Red Fly/Blue Bottle, with music by Christina Campanella (Latitude 14/ HERE Arts Center, Noorderzon Festival, and EMPAC in Troy, NY). Other grants and awards include NEA Opera/Music-Theater commission (Far Sea Pharisee, music by Miki Navazio), two NYFA Fellowships, the Whitfield Cook Award (Eloise & Ray, New Georges, NYC, "Voice Season Highlight"; and Roadworks, Chicago), the Frederic Loewe Award (The Hotel Carter, music by Jenny Giering), and a grant from the Anna Sosenko Assist Trust (The Secret Lives of Coats, music by Christina Campanella; Playlabs, Whitman College). She has also enjoyed residencies at MacDowell, HARP, Hedgebrook, Mabou Mines/Suite, DPI, and the Chocolate Factory. Stephanie's work for theater includes Hamlet Redux (Asolo Rep Conservatory), Omonia-3 (Athens, Greece), Tinder, a song cycle (Exit Festival, France), Tally Ho (Round House, Synchronicity), The Street of Useful Things (Act II), What the Moon Saw (Interart; Son of Semele), The World Speed Carnival (Soho Rep SummerCamp), The Wonder Seeker (Empty Space), Orpheus (music by Nikos Brisco; HERE), and lyrics (for over 60 songs) and dramaturgy for The Greeks 2 & 3 and The Americans, with composers John Pratt, Phil Roebuck and Jim White at Juilliard, with director Brian Mertes. She contributed texts to Austrian composer Olga Neuwirth's ecstaloop and The Cartographer's Song (Basel, Berlin, Graz, Stockholm, and the Aldeburgh Festival). Her work has been developed/presented at venues including: Prelude, The Public, Knitting Factory, BACA Downtown, Guthrie Lab, San Francisco Stage and Film, Hollywood Bowl, L.A. Theatreworks, New Theater Miami, Teatro dei Contrari, Rome, and more. She is published by Play, A Journal of Plays, Playscripts.com, and Smith and Krauss. She was a Tennessee Williams Fellow in Playwriting at Sewanee, and has taught at Bard College and the Playwrights Foundation. Stephanie currently teaches playwriting at Skidmore College. She holds an MFA from Brooklyn College (studied with Mac Wellman). She is also a New Georges affiliated artist and founding member of Latitude 14. Stephanie joined the Composer Librettist Development Program in the 2011-12 season, during which she developed the one-act opera Another Sky with composer Jeremy Howard Beck. She continues her collaboration with Jeremy this season as they begin the development of a new opera, The Long Walk.

This week sees the first anniversary of Heresy Corner: the very first post came out on 12th September last year, although the blog only really got going a couple of weeks later. From a standing start, the blog has attracted a modest audience, with returning visitors now outnumbering those who stumble on here via Google or a particular link. So I suppose I must be getting somewhere. Last week Heresy Corner scraped into Iain Dale's list of top 100 UK political blogs, as voted for by anyone who could be bothered. I'm very grateful to those who put me on their list - and if you didn't, there's always next year. If I'm still here. 81st place (37th in the list of "Right of Centre" blogs) is hardly spectacular, especially since I hadn't heard of several of those above me; but at least my burblings haven't been completely ignored.
As for marking the milestone, I can't compete with Pandora Blake, who recently celebrated the second anniversary of her blogging activity by offering up her bottom in aid of the beleaguered Northern Spanking. I will, however, be taking stock, looking back on some of the highs and lows of the past year, some of the stories that made an impact, and how right or wrong my predictions turned out to be...
At the beginning, virtually no-one was reading. The first piece that got a reasonable amount of traffic was Elton's Porn Panic a couple of weeks later, which looked at the fracas surrounding Nan Goldin's photograph Klara and Edda belly-dancing (featuring a naked toddler) which was being exhibited at the Baltic Centre in Gateshead. A police investigation ultimately cleared the picture, owned by Sir Elton John, but not before a predictable moral panic had left many people more confused than ever about what is, or should be, acceptable in art.
Lee Rosenbaum, the well-known New York art critic who recommended the post in her own blog, suggested that my use of the word "porn" in the title might have fuelled much of the early traffic from Google. Certainly, to judge from the search terms, many of those who were directed to Heresy Corner were looking for the picture itself. I did not myself post it, and quickly removed a link to it. Others took a different decision. Before the story broke Goldin's photograph was not particularly well-known, and not widely available online. A year later, if you type the name of the picture into Google images several pagefuls pop up. As I noted at the time, as a result of the police involvement "resources that could have been spent on chasing real child abusers have been diverted, and a photograph that had been confined to exhibitions and expensive art books is now all over the Internet." Context matters is cases like this. It's easier to treat such an image as art - albeit provocative art - rather than something more sinister if one has to visit an art gallery to see it.
Artistic controversies - several involving claims of blasphemy - have featured periodically in Heresy Corner's first year. But the biggest story - at least in terms of hits - remains my critical analysis of a claim in January that a pair of twins, separated at birth, had unknowingly got married. The claim was made by Crossbench peer Lord Alton in the House of Lords in December, but only made the headlines the following month, whereupon it quickly took on a life of its own. For a few days the hunt was on for the mystery couple, as tabloids offered to open their checkbooks to anyone with information. But none was forthcoming, since the couple did not in fact exist.
I began voicing my doubts the day the news broke, and tracked the progress of the story in a number of follow-up posts. My reservations were picked up by John Henley in the Guardian, and subsequently by the mega-popular BoingBoing, with the result that in one day almost 3,000 people found their way to the Heresiarch's small island of scepticism. It was too good to last, and it didn't. Once things got back to normal, however, I was pleased to find that some of the new readers stuck around.
Other much-viewed articles included my take on Britney Spears' alleged flirtation with Islam (or, rather, the media fabrication of a story that was at least as fictional as the twins), and, in April, a juxtaposition of images of the chaotic Olympic torch relay with the official Chinese reports. My extensive coverage of the Max Mosley saga also attracted a considerable amount of attention - some of it from lawyers. At least the legal threats confirmed that my guesswork had been along the right lines. Even odder than the emails from solicitors, though, were the approaches I received from proper journalists (and a TV producer) wanting help with their research. An unattributed quote from one of my reports even turned up in the Mail on Sunday. How did investigative reporters ever cope, I wonder, before they had bloggers to do the work for them?
Over the past twelve months Heresy Corner has looked at a wide variety of other stories, some trivial, some of which were big news at the time, some of which (such as the Brown government's continuing collapse) remain so. I will be catching up with a few of them in the days ahead. There's no obvious unifying factor (the notion of "heresy" being somewhat paradoxical) but I particularly like James Rattue's summation in his guest post last month. Heresy Corner, he wrote, "is a place where we are encouraged to look beneath the surface of events for some deeper sort of meaning; to think beyond headlines and to reach further than the first cliché to hand."
Much of modern society seems designed to discourage thought. Newspaper headlines scream and denounce; politicians legislate by press-release; the education system values target-hitting and "benchmarks" above actual knowledge; TV news is aimed squarely at morons. It can be very frustrating to read - and watch - the emoting and soap-opera simplicities that too often pass for analysis in the mass media. Cocooned in the relative sanity of 1924, the great Dutch historian Jan Huizinga was able to write of the "high degree of irritability that distinguishes the Middle Ages from our own time." Irritability, in the early 21st century, is back.
This blog enables me to offer what I hope is a small dose of scepticism, reason and detachment. But I'm as prone to prejudice and stupidity as anyone else: which is why I greatly value feedback. If (like a fair few) you read this blog but rarely or ever leave a comment, please introduce yourself and join in. You don't have to agree with me - but you don't have to disagree with me either. A successful blog is like a conversation between friends; an unsuccessful one is just shouting into the ether.
But thank you anyway.

One year on
This week sees the first anniversary of Heresy Corner: the very first post came out on 12th September last year, although the blog only really got going a couple of weeks later.

As I said when I first posted, for me it is the best blog on the net. I wish I had started to post earlier in your blog, instead of eavesdropping into your conversations.
All the best Realale

Thank you for your blog which I always seek out first among my "feeds" - I really appreciate your thoughtful analysis of events and a perspective that is often refreshingly different from the mainstream media. This is from a UK expat reading you in Australia who generally considers herself a bit "left of centre" but finds herself agreeing with you more often than she would like!!I will return to eavesdropping now....
- 9 September 2008 at 07:43
I dislike leaving comments, and would not vote in a poll of blogs. But you should know that the people who read your blog very much appreciate it. If it makes you happy, next year, I will vote ;)

I have no idea how you find the time to do so much research, let alone write the actual posts, but keep doing it. I often wonder who might be the Bruce Wayne to The Heresiarch's Batman - I suspect some kind of academic (based on the quality of writing combined with amount of free time) or perhaps a Nick Leason-esque city trader passing the time in open prison.
I also got into the blog through boingboing and the twins post. I was just fascinated by the idea of a news story being such an obvious lie. I wish more stories turned out to be complete fabrications.
I'd probably describe myself as a liberal, so it's funny how you're described as right-of-centre. It shows how far we've come under New Labour, that believing in free speech and civil liberties now falls on the right. I guess saying nice things about Boris Johnson got you there.

Congratulations! I found this place while reading up on the Nan Goldin kerfuffle, but it was the very thorough investigative work on the Max Mosely case that got me properly hooked, and prompted me to recommend you to friends.
I'm very, very much to the left of your "Right of Centre" designation, for what it's worth, though I'm not really sure that's an accurate tag for the weblog. Sure, I'd assumed that you were pretty far to the right of me, but the best posts here have been marked out by great research, good writing, and canny media analysis, none of which are qualities that belong to the left or right wings. (I wonder how many comments there'll be saying "I'm not right of centre, but I like it!".)

I found myself in Portree library in the summer with a short time left on the web after sorting out my finances - I used the short time to come to Heresy Corner rather than the Guardian's Cif gabfest as I thought it would be time better spent - part of my regular routine now. Have been entertained and have learned a lot. Thanks again Heresiarch!

Hi Heresiarch
I'm also a lurker on your blog - I always read it but so far I've refrained from commenting.
Anyway, well done on getting into the top 100, and keep up the good work. As you know I rarely agree with anything you say (but then what more can you expect from a "left-wing feminist activist of a type that is now probably an endangered species" Lol!:)) but despite that I still think Heresy Corner is one of the best blogs on the net.
And thanks for the challenging arguments on CiF; I look forward to many more in the months and years to come.
- 14 September 2008 at 15:01
Apologies for the late entry. I might not agree with you on everything, but you are certainly amongst the most balanced, non-censorious bloggers about, both here, and in the depths of your companion site. Nice style, easy to read, well researched and very informative. Please keep on going...

In shocking comments, the president of the Steubenville chapter of the NAACP places the blame for the rape case that has shocked the nation on the 16-year-old victim.
Royal Mayo, a lifelong resident of the Ohio city that gained national infamy following the rape of the girl by two Steubenville High School football players, says that attention should be focused on the role of the young woman, whom he calls the "alleged victim," saying she was drunk and wanted to go out with one of the football players. He also claims that other teens involved in the incident were let off easy, because they were "well-connected."

Connecting the Dots: Continuing Education for Health Professionals
Comprehensive Medical Support Systems
Friday, February 15, 2013 from 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM (EST)
Event Details
Connecting the Dots:
Best practices for the clinical team working in long-term care facilities, MR/DD group homes, assisted living and nursing homes
Jointly sponsored by Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and Comprehensive Medical Support Systems
This activity is supported by an educational grant from Community Care Rx.
Target Audience
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of Registered Nurses, Social Workers and other Healthcare Professionals involved in the care of patients in long-term care facilities.
Program Overview
The healthcare professional must be cognizant of their respective roles within the multidisciplinary team to ensure safety and the provision of optimal care to geriatric and developmentally disabled individuals. The nurse, physician, pharmacist or other medical professional must ensure that they are utilizing best practices in documentation, assessment and treatment of individuals. They are to receive specific training and education regarding medical/mental health conditions and risk indicators of abuse and neglect that are common among the senior and special needs populations. They are to have sound knowledge of medications and potential side effects that are compounded by age or a dual-diagnosis. The healthcare professional, subsequent to participation in this activity, will be able to apply acquired knowledge to their current practice to improve performance, develop more effective communication techniques, ensure proper documentation, and strengthen their function as a member of the multi-disciplinary team. This will ensure effective treatment of individuals and allow for better patient outcomes.
Educational Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Develop appropriate strategies and protocols to assess for risk of abuse and neglect in the senior and developmentally disabled individual
- Employ an interdisciplinary model in the provision of care to geriatric and dually diagnosed individuals

A Gerontological Nurse Practitioner since 1996 with experience in an angioplasty program, cardiology private practice, extended care, and program development.

Worked full time with these programs until 2006. 2006 took a full time position teaching at Queensborough Community College teaching Community Health and Advanced Medical Surgical Nursing. In 2010, became the Coordinator for NU 202 and Community Nursing at QCC. Since 2006, works on a part time / per diem basis providing education/ consultation for the NSLIJ Heart Failure Home Care Program and assisting in the development of a Diabetes Disease Management Home Care Program in 2012. Is currently working toward becoming a Certified Diabetes Educator.

Presented a national webinar on Heart Failure Disease Management for Pesi in February 2012 and will be doing a repeat webinar in 2013. Has presented at numerous locations locally on Disease Management. Had an article published by Home Healthcare Nurse in 2008 on How a Heart Failure Home Care Disease Management Program Makes a Difference. Currently working on another article for publication on Disease Management.
Approximately 20-25% of patients 65 years and older, discharged from the hospital, are rehospitalized in 30 days. (N. Engl J Med, 2009; 360 (14);1418) A substantial number of these hospitalizations are avoidable. Hospitals are not reimbursed when a patient returns within 30 days. Circulatory diseases, particularly heart failure, and diabetes account for the majority of these hospitalizations (CDC). Evidence tells us that intensive disease management interventions can prevent these hospitalizations (CMS). There is a national initiative to decrease avoidable hospitalizations, and therefore, decrease costs and increase quality of care and life in our communities. Disease Management is a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach which promotes client centered care and client and caregiver self-empowerment. It also helps to eliminate health disparities and increase access to care. Health providers need to be knowledgeable about how to implement disease management and work toward the overall goal of improving the health of our communities. Health care providers need to know the most common chronic illnesses, the standards of care, and why patients get rehospitalized. Older adults and patients with cognitive impairment require specialized care. Thorough assessments, communication, documentation, and collaboration need to be performed. This increases continuity of care across the continuum of care. Health care providers need to understand the psychosocial component of disease management and understand how to employ behavioral strategies. Efficient client education, based on cultural beliefs, will facilitate client and caregiver self-empowerment. Through Proper Disease Management, avoidable hospitalizations and health care costs will decrease. In addition, patient and health care provider satisfaction, and quality of life will increase.

D. Addressing the behavioral and environmental variables that play a significant role in the lives of the developmentally disabled and geriatric individuals
Presented by: Zaur J. Isaakov, Ph.D, BCBA-D, Independent Consultant
Dr. Isaakov received his doctorate in the Psychology of Learning Processes and Applied Behavior Analysis from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York and MA from Queens College. He has been a practitioner of applied behavior analysis (ABA) for the past 11 years in both the home and school settings and has taught courses on the psychology of learning and Autism at CUNY. Dr. Isaakov is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA-D).
The presentation will center on research-driven strategies designed to address the behavioral and environmental variables that play a significant role in the lives of the developmentally disabled and geriatric individuals. The participants will be aided in learning to distinguish between behavioral, medical, and psychiatric difficulties an individual may present with; how each of these components, or a combination thereof, may affect their lives. The participants will be introduced to various behavioral strategies that can be effectively utilized to address the behavioral (learned) components of an individual's life, thus not only improving their overall wellbeing but also allowing medical practitioners to better address the underlying physiological problems.
The participants will learn the ways in which Applied Behavior Analysis strategies may be used to help individuals with developmental disabilities overcome many of the learned behavioral problems and improve their overall quality of life. Those attending the presentation will learn to recognize and assess behavioral patterns associated with neglect or abuse. From the behavioral perspective, in addressing the difficulties faced by those individuals who are dually diagnosed, we will focus on the importance of the function that the illicit substance or alcohol serve to a dually diagnosed individual and explore ways in which safe and appropriate alternatives may be identified.
Throughout the presentation, the findings of both the latest and the now-classic research on the subject will be reviewed along with practical application of these findings to real-life situations.
