Maybe this is hope for authors: you can start out a Casaubon, but you have to become a Sebald.
After such terrible accusations, it is time to hear what his patron Casaubon can allege in his defence.
But if he bowed in all else to James, Bacon would not, like Casaubon, bow in this.
The method of Theophrastus, as Casaubon said, was between the philosophical and the poetical.
Pattison was of the mind of Fra Paolo in a letter to Casaubon.
But what could any woman expect from a man who could write such a love-letter as that of Mr. Casaubon's?
He boasted that he had occasioned the deaths of Casaubon and Scaliger.
Casaubon, from an old commentator on Persius, says, that he made a very foolish translation of Homer's Iliads.
Upon this task Casaubon spent his remaining strength and life.
The most masterly bits of work in "Middlemarch" are the characters of Rosamond and Casaubon.

In Safe Hands
The Guardian now seems to be pretty openly backing David Cameron. Or as much as they can without alienating the remnant of their readership. First this. It is sad, in a sense, that it was up to Peter Hitchens to point out that reporting opinion polls is not neutral. The way that they are spinning the closing gap is a sign that they want people to vote Tory.
Then this. George Osborne has authored a column with 'leading US economist Jeffrey Sachs'.
Yes, that Jeffrey Sachs. The guy who oversaw the shock therapy in Russia. the guy who impoverished millions of Russians, created vast unemployment, saw Russian life expectancy collapse and infanticide increase vastly and turned Russia into an oligarchy with a plummeting GDP is a 'leading US economist', who is deigning to endorse the Tories' plans for the Brit economy.
Whilst an open society depends on freedom and expression of conflicting ideas, modern Britain has no real free media. Just numerous people who agree on practically everything. Gordon Brown did a lot to support the bankers and neo-cons, but he just simply isn't one of them. And they won't settle for anyone else. (Though I suppose, Gordy can have a chuckle at Guardian.co.uk for offering signed copies of Andrew 'Mr Nobody' Rawnsley's book of dubious gossip)
The excellent thriller writer Robert Harris wrote a book about a Prime Minister, based on Tony Blair, who turns out to be an American agent. Whilst I can't say what truth there could be in this, unless a Brit politician is so fanatically neo-liberal they could pass for an American spy, then they will not have any chance of election.

Have you heard about the Red Tories? Seems to be combining conservative values and morals with left wing aspects of social equality, often influenced by Christian teachings (their ideologue Philip Blonde is a former theology lecturer). It is really the polar oppostie to Thatcherism.ReplyDelete
This is the piece on them. It sounds positive but I would still not vote Tory as they are still the gatekeepers of privilege. There is a lot on recent tragedies like Baby P and the Edlingotn boys attacks and about how civic responsibilities and morals have been lost
I read quite a lot of paleo-con authors and many of them (such as Justin Raimondo, Pat Buchanan and Taki) are both far better writers than mainstream liberals and were far braver at tackling the neo-cons.
However, their views on economics are largely based on similar fallacies to the neo-cons.
Peter Hitchens is sometimes one of the best British journalists; but sometimes he is also one of the worst. He's never gotten to terms with 'neo-liberalism' and its blend of foreign policy/economic right and cultural left. Instead he keeps calling everyone he disagrees with (including Thatcher) 'left wing'.
He speaks more sense about the role of Christianity in modern Britain. I suppose I would add the caveat that France is at least equally secular; though I suppose not learning from the French is one thing the Brits are very, very good at.
Great post and great blog. I used to be an avid reader of paleo-con authors like Buchanan and Taki, and to a certain extent came to my current economic views based on Buchanan's opposition to globalization and the outsourcing of American jobs.
So on some issues, I think Buchanan is more left-wing/populist on economics than some Democrats. On the other hand, Buchanan and friends do sometimes go on typical right-wing rants against "socialism" (really just New Deal-style progressivism) which I don't really agree with.
But the biggest reason I stopped reading paleo-con websites was that they often seem to pal around with some scary biological determinist types. I have read some articles on TakiMag that were about one step from being something you'd see on Stormfront or other "white nationalist" sites.
---Mr. Piccolo
Thank you for your positive feedback John. It is true that some paleo-cons like Steven Sailor are positively creepy. But overall, I am pleased that Taki and Buchanan offer an alternative to the neo-liberal hegemony. It's as Chomsky says, to participate in mainstream political conversation, you have to play by the rules. Anything that deviates from the mainstream accepted narrative is welcome as far as I'm concerned.ReplyDelete

Title pretty much sums it up. I'm 17 and I started losing my sight a couple days ago, only now have I really started noticing the effects of whatever is causing it, everything is just getting darker and darker. I went to a doctor yesterday and I was basically told that they can't figure out what's causing it and that they don't know how to help out. I've been flipping my shit since and don't know what to do, mainly because I planned on being an artist for a living and now I can't even see my pencil. I still have a chance of becoming a programmer but don't know how to organize for the life of me so I guess I can throw that idea out the window. I don't know what I'm going to tell my girlfriend since she's also an artist and I won't even be able to see her work soon. I may be completely blind by the end of this week or even tomorrow morning simply because of how unpredictable this has been. I've got an entire life ahead of me and I won't be able to see a quarter of it.
I hope this isn't going to be goodbye forever Facepunch. I had a great time and hope to eventually be able to get back on if and when I can use the accessibility software that's out there.
adéu :(

Anyway, here are the last of Amy's awesome blog buttons - enjoy! And you don't even have to click on anything!
PS: Thanks again, Amy. You're the coolest, most talented, hilarious and generous person we've never met and we can't believe you're friends with us. You should be hanging out with an international group of hipsters. It should be you, David Sedaris, Alexander Skarsgaard, Flavor Flav and Carla Bruni. And you'd all go on vacation together and work on projects and have cocktails at trendy hotspots. With us on the outside staring at you with wide, sad eyes - wondering why you won't return our emails now that the cool people have discovered you and stolen you from us. Also, we want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving but we can't because you're Canadian and it's against the law.

Rita Moreno on her SAG Lifetime Achievement Award: "I'm so F---ing Thrilled!"
She may be 82-years-old, but Rita Moreno showed she's still full of spunk at Saturday's SAG Awards (January 18).
The "West Side Story" star accepted the annual Lifetime Achievement Award that evening and was thrilled with the honor.
Upon taking the stage, the EGOT recipient blurted out, "I'm so F--king thrilled. I hope the man with the button was there on time."
Reflecting on her long career, Rita shared, "Oh, I'm breathless I'm so bloody happy. Late in the first act of my career, I was recognized with an Oscar. I was 31 and so astonished and surprised…I could only muster 'I couldn't believe it. I'll leave you with that.' And now this unexpected honor at 82, but hopefully it's early in the third act of my life."
In conclusion, she quoted Tony Bennett's "This is All I Ask," saying, "The truth is I honestly still can't believe it. So let me say this, as I approach the prime of my life, I find I have the time of my life, learning to enjoy at my leisure all the simple pleasures and so I happily concede. This is all I ask. This is all I need."

IDC IT Agenda Community –
It is no secret that many IT teams have been disappointed that their investment in virtualization has improved server utilization but hasn't made much of a dent in improving the timeliness or quality of service delivered to business users. IT staff productivity, as measured by the ratio of admins to servers and VMs, hasn't improved much either.
Among organizations that are designing and implementing cloud solutions, we frequently hear that they are doing so in order to improve IT operational efficiency and economics - even as their data center and application environments become more complex and dynamic. Given how many IT organizations haven't been able to improve IT staff productivity during virtualization roll-outs it is fair to ask what is going to be different with cloud? A recent IDC survey shows that focusing on service delivery may be the secret sauce.
IDC recently completed an in-depth survey that included discussions with 153 North American IT decision makers who are developing and implementing their organization's private cloud strategies. Interestingly, while most IT decision makers tell us that cloud is all about improving IT efficiency and economics, fully 27% of the private cloud planners we polled said they think their organization's ratio of administrators to physical and virtual servers is unlikely to change by 2013. 47% said they expect to be able to double the ratio of admins to physical and virtual servers by 2013 and 25% said they think they can at least triple the ratio.
Looking a little deeper into the data it became clear that while most organizations plan to continue to invest in virtualization management and to ramp up use of automation and self service portals, those organizations that have the highest productivity expectations are also the most committed to managing and delivering end-to-end services -- as opposed to staying fixated on optimizing IT silos.
Specifically, 67% of those expecting to triple IT staff productivity also plan to make use of service management technologies compared to just 45% of those that don't expect any productivity changes. Similarly, 64% of the high expectation group plans to make use of end-to-end performance and availability management tools compared to 48% of the lower expectation group. The high expectation decision makers are also more likely to be planning to invest in consumption based metering tools, automated application configuration discovery and dependency mapping, and service catalogs linked to self service portals.
The lesson here is pretty clear - keep your eyes on the service. Work with business stakeholders to define and standardize service options and SLAs and use these agreements to drive automated service provisioning templates and resource optimization policies. When business stakeholders look at public cloud services that don't see the plumbing, they see the service definitions and SLAs. To get the most out of your cloud strategy, think like a service provider.

Online Magic Teaching
Finding a Guru Online To Learn Magic Is Easy
Teaching is a noble profession wherein the professionals engaged in the task are believed to be pillars that play an instrumental role in building a healthy society.
When applied to the field of magic, this logic undergoes a little bit of metamorphosis.
The teacher of this craft is not just responsible for training the aspiring candidate but is also required to ensure that his pupil evolves overall and is capable of surviving when left on his own.
Such a teacher is supposed to impart not just the tricks of the trade but is also required to monitor whether the student is compatible with the syllabus covered so that changes can then be affected accordingly.
One of the hallmarks of a good teacher pertains to respecting individual differences between students and adjusting their pace of learning as per inherent capabilities and talents.
Online Magic Teaching is there for us to all enjoy.
Is it truly possible to find a good teacher who satisfies all these attributes?
There was a time when your search would have remained limited to a particular area or region but the arrival of Internet altered that completely by rendering the entire world as your hunting ground.
A good way to make a start entails typing in your query in a reputed search engine and checking the results that are thrown up.
However, these results are too broad to be of any use and an effective way of narrowing down the search entails following up on each of the names by contacting the online community.
Given the vast web of social networking that is facilitated on the Internet, there are bound to groups and forums involving magicians and these are excellent sources of information pertaining to a particular teacher of the craft.
Of course you will need to introduce yourself and participate in some of the discussions that are launched but the rewards that accrue as a result of these contributions are definitely worth every effort.
Not only do you receive feedback pertaining to a particular teacher whom you might be interested in but also stand a good chance of finding a tutor suitable to your style, tastes and capabilities.
Having a good mentor is half the battle won for an aspiring professional and particularly in the field of magic it can be a life-changing experience.
He should be the kind of teacher who teaches you his own style but at the same time encourages you to cultivate an originality which over a period of time will become your signature style.
By adopting new techniques he conveys the importance of being innovative and by indulging in deep analysis he teaches the student to conduct a post-mortem after every act.
An added advantage of learning from a good teacher pertains to cultivation of a unique style of presentation and performance both of which play a crucial role in providing the much-needed early success for a new candidate.
Learning is an enjoyable experience under the tutelage of such a teacher and is far more rewarding than simply professional success.

Mending Exams - A Parody - Poem by Denvor fernandez
Something there is that doesn't love exams,
That sends the frozen-brains-swell under it,
And splits the upper senses in the sun;
and make gaps even two can fail a test.
The work of hunters is another thing:
I have come after them and made repair
Where they have left not one paper on a paper
But they would have the mistake out of hiding,
To please the yelping dogs. The gaps I mean,
No one has seen them made or heard them made
But at spring results-time we find them there.
I let my teacher know beyond the hill;
And on a day we meet to walk the line
And set the exam between us as we go.
To each question that have fallen to each.
And some chalenging and some so nearly ' balls! ! '
We have to use a spell to get some marks:
' Stay correct until our pens are turned! '
We wear our fingers rough with handling them.
Oh, just another kind of out-door game,
One on each side. It comes to little more:
There where it is we do not need exams:
He is all rules and I free-thinker.
A three hour test can't judge
a student's real worth, I tell him.
He only says ' Good exams make good students.'
Spring is the mischief in me, and I wonder
If I could put a notion into his head:
' Why do they make good students? Isn't it
When we are fools? But we are no fools.
Before I write my exam I'd ask to know
What I was showing in or showing off,
And to whom I was like to give offense.
Something there is that does not love exams,
That wants it down. ' I could say 'Elves' to him,
But it's not elves exactly, and I'd rather
He said it for himself. I see him there
Bringing papers grasped firmly by the top
In each hand, like an old-stone savage armed.
He moves in darkness as it seems to me,
Not of boards only and the shade of classes.
He will not go behind his Professor's saying
And he likes having thought of it so well
He says again, ' Good exams make good students.'

Rhinoplasty 3 years ago aged 39. I revisited my surgeon Dec 2011. He told me it was swollen, enlarged, not my imagination, possible skin infection? Given - Aknemycin Plus which worked a bit for a couple of weeks then stopped, Im now on my 2nd course Tetralysal, its not working. It is swollen, especially first thing, one side in particular. The drugs are not working. I have stopped going out, I hide my face, avoid photos, try not to smile as this spreads my nose across my face, im devastated
I Had a Rhinoplasty 3 Years Ago and the Tip of my Nose is Very Swollen on One Side?
Doctor Answers 3
I Had a Rhinoplasty 3 Years Ago and the Tip of my Nose is Very Swollen on One Side?
Based upon the posted photos you need a tip rhinoplasty revision to remove more lower lateral alar cartilage and fibro fatty tissue.
Swollen Tip 3 Years Post Rhinoplasty
I would expect your nose to be very tender if this much swelling was secondary to an infection. You need an examination of your nose to diagnose the cause of your large tip which has not improved despite treatment. If you consult with other physicians make sure they have a copy of your rhinoplasty operative report.
Tip swelling 3 years post-op
Tip fullness still present at 3 years post-op is unlikely to be just swelling. There are a number of options for improving this but the cause (cartilage, thick skin, scar tissue) needs to be determined

Under fire from Republicans over high gas prices, President Obama heads west next week to promote and defend his energy policies -- including his approach to the Keystone XL pipeline, a major GOP election issue.
Obama travels Wednesday and Thursday for energy events in Nevada, New Mexico, and Ohio, as well as Cushing, Oklahoma; Cushing is the starting point for the southern half of the Keystone pipeline.
That segment "will transport oil from Cushing to the Gulf of Mexico, which will help address the bottleneck of oil that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production in the Midwest," said a White House statement.
Republicans quickly pointed out that the Obama administration has not signed off on the full Keystone pipeline, which would run from the tar sands of Canada to the Gulf coast of Texas. Keystone is a major issue for the Republican presidential candidates seeking to replace Obama.
Rep. John Sullivan, R-Okl., said he wants to hear Obama "explain to Oklahomans why he rejected the Keystone XL pipeline and turned his back on using the oil and gas resources in our own backyard instead of spending $1 billion per day for OPEC oil."
"Connecting Cushing to oil markets in Canada and the Bakken shale play in North Dakota, is vital to our long term energy needs, not to mention it would create 20,000 private sector jobs here in Oklahoma and across the country," Sullivan said.
Obama and aides said the full Keystone project still requires environmental approvals, as well as a precise route through Nebraska.
In any event, it would be years before the pipeline could transport oil and help lower gas prices, White House officials said.
The purpose of Obama's trip is to promote the president's "all-of-the-above" energy policy, the White House said. That includes new fuel efficiency standards and new sources of energy, as well as more domestic oil and gas production.
An outline of next week's trip, from the White House:
On Wednesday, the President will begin the tour in Boulder City, Nevada where he will visit the Copper Mountain Solar 1 Facility, the largest photovoltaic plant operating in the country with nearly one million solar panels powering 17,000 homes. In Boulder City, he will highlight his Administration's focus on diversifying our energy portfolio, including expanding renewable energy from sources like wind and solar, which thanks in part to investments made by this Administration is set to double in the President's first term.
The President will then travel to oil and gas production fields located on federal lands outside of Carlsbad, New Mexico, an area home to more than seventy active drilling rigs. While in Carlsbad, the President will highlight the Administration's commitment to expanding domestic oil and gas production, which has increased each year he has been in office, with domestic oil production currently at an eight year high and domestic natural gas production at an all-time high.
On Thursday, the President will travel to the Cushing, Oklahoma area to discuss his Administration's commitment to improving and supporting the infrastructure that helps us leverage our domestic resources, while also ensuring these projects are developed in a safe and responsible way. This includes a pipeline that will transport oil from Cushing to the Gulf of Mexico, which will help address the bottleneck of oil that has resulted in large part from increased domestic oil production in the Midwest. In Oklahoma, the President will deliver remarks at a storage yard holding pipes that will be used for the construction of the pipeline.
The final stop on the trip will take place at Ohio State University in Columbus Ohio, home to some of the country's most advanced energy-related research and development.

Saint Francis falls in final on PKs
WEST HAVEN, Conn. – Following a 1-1 draw Fairleigh Dickinson edged Saint Francis 6-5 in penalty kicks to claim the Northeast Conference title and an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
FDU (9-5-6) got off to a quick start as Nicholas Walker put the Knights up 1-0 in the 10th minute on a header from a corner kick by Jack McVey.
SFU (6-7-7) found the equalizer in the 43rd minute. Nick Kolarac sent a corner kick directly to the head of senior James Price who sent his shot far post to tie the game at one.
Shortly out of the halftime break the Knights came up with a solid chance again off of a corner kick but FDU's Jeffrey Barrenchea was denied on a save by Daniel Valcicak. Valcicak finished the game with three saves.
Perhaps the best chance to win the game outright for the Red Flash came with just under three minutes remaining in the second overtime. SFU drew a foul to set up a corner kick to be taken by Kolarac. From Kolarac's delivery Ryan Byers launched a shot in front of the net that ricocheted off the crossbar. The rebound then came to the foot of Price whose shot sailed just high and landed out of danger.
FDU senior Jack McVey converted his shot for a 1-0 lead. FDU goalkeeper Jacob Lissek made save diving to his left to end the first round.
The Knights could not extend the lead as junior Nicholas Walker missed his shot to the right. The Red Flash then tied it at 1-1.
Over the next four rounds, each team made converted their penalty kicks. In the seventh round, sophomore Nico Wright gave FDU a 6-5 advantage, but Lissek made a dramatic clinching save.
Seniors Daniel Valcicak and James Price, along with sophomore Ryan Byers earned spots on the all-tournament team for their efforts over the weekend.

CHRISTCHURCH teenager Josh Hanratty could be on the cusp of a full-time move with Cherries and Aston Villa monitoring his progress.
The 16-year-old central-midfielder only made his first-team debut for Priory in November but has started six of their past seven fixtures after impressing from the bench in his first game.
Having spent a year with Southampton's academy, Hanratty had a brief spell with Poole Town under-18s following his Saints release at the end of 2012.
Villa were tracking the youngster prior to his stint at St Mary's and renewed their interest after a scout spotted him playing in a county match in Devon.
Hanratty's Hurn Bridge performances placed him firmly on Cherries' radar before Christmas but opportunities for Dean Court representatives to run the rule over the prospect have been curtailed by the weather in recent weeks.
However, Christchurch manager Michael Cuffie reckons it will only be a matter of time before someone snaps up Hanratty's "special talent" and added any move to a top club would receive his full blessing.
Cuffie told the Daily Echo: "The biggest compliment I can pay Josh is that, at the age of 16, he has come in and improved our side. Several people have noticed his quality.
"It is a good thing for the boy and I am pleased for him. To be honest, I hope he is not here next season because if he isn't it will mean he has moved on to bigger and better things.
"This exactly what I want to see from my young players, to perform well and put themselves under the spotlight and I hope something comes from it.
"He deserves this chance and it is a testament to the club that we give young players like Josh a platform to play."
Meanwhile, Josh's father, Lee Hanratty, had some complimentary words for the Christchurch manager.
He said: "Josh has been to a lot of clubs but Cuffs immediately made him feel really welcome.
"It takes guts to play someone so young in senior football and while he hasn't let Christchurch down we are still very grateful that Mike was brave enough to take a chance."
Priory hope to play their first match for more than eight weeks when they host Fawley in the Wessex League Premier Division tomorrow night.

Altova XML Schema Solutions
XML Schema provides the foundation for all XML-based applications. Developers need powerful, easy-to-use tools for working with all aspects of XSD modeling, editing, generation, and conversion.
Altova MissionKit tools offer broad support for XML Schema, including editing, generating code and documentation, modeling, mapping, and managing file relationships. Support for other prevalent data formats and any-to-any mapping ensures easy integration, and tight integration among MissionKit tools ensures a seamless information workflow, regardless of the task at hand.
What is XML Schema?
XML Schema is a W3C Recommendation for defining the structure, content, and semantics of XML documents. It was born out of a need to provide a more powerful and flexible alternative to the standard DTD, a schema language for expressing SGML and XML content models. Though many DTDs are still in use today in legacy document frameworks and may even be used in tandem with XSDs, XML Schema offers a lengthy list of advantages for defining XML documents:
Integration and Accessibility. One of the most obvious and powerful advantages that XML Schemas hold over DTDs is that they are, in fact, defined as XML documents themselves, making them programmatically accessible to developers and enabling them to add an enormous amount of flexibility to system architectures. XSDs can be stored along with other XML documents in XML architectures and data stores and manipulated, referenced, and styled using a growing number of XML companion tools including XPath, XQuery, XInclude/XPointer, and XSL.
For example, used in conjunction with other XML technologies, such as XSLT and XML-enabled databases, global elements defined in XSDs can be processed consistently and uploaded to the appropriate database structure or even rendered in formats business reporting formats such as HTML and PDF.
Datatyping. XML Schema provides a powerful mechanism for specifying datatypes for XML elements and attributes. This ability to incorporate advanced constraints for document content enables schema designers to control the validity of end-user input in a variety of ways unavailable in DTD. The datatypes provided in XML Schema facilitate complex document exchange and data integration scenarios, giving it exposure to the B2B and e-commerce architectures that traditionally employ other data formats such as EDI.
Namespaces. XML Schema's support for namespaces enables XML documents to contain unique identifiers, and therefore incorporate more than one commonly used vocabulary at a time. A namespace declaration, or binding, is generally declared in an XML document via an IRI (Internationalized Resource Identifier), and is expressed by applying a prefix to relevant elements and attributes. Namespaces provide enormous data integration opportunities, enabling entire XML frameworks to coexist within the same architecture. This is an extremely valuable asset for a global economy, where mergers and acquisitions, supply chain requirements, and industry standards often dictate heterogeneous data constructs.

HOHENWALD, Tenn. - In 2009, CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman introduced you to a couple of very unlikely friends who couldn't have been more different. But from the moment Tarra the elephant met Bella the dog, they were inseparable.
The Elephant Sanctuary south of Nashville is more than 2,000 acres of freedom for elephants. But for a resident named Tarra, there's not enough room in Tennessee to escape the bad news she got last week.
Tarra displayed all the symptoms you'd expect to see in someone who lost a good friend - which is exactly what happened.
For nearly a decade, Tarra had been best friends with a dog named Bella, a mutt who wandered onto the sanctuary grounds and into the heart of the gentle giant. Tarra clearly loved her little dog and Bella obviously bonded right back.

Ten years ago, most people hadn't even heard of the CBOE Volatility Index, or VIX. These days, the "fear index" is covered by the mainstream financial media, and you can't throw a stick without hitting someone who fancies themselves a VIX expert.
The problem is that half of these people don't have any clue what they're talking about. So there is a lot of misinformation out there surrounding the VIX and VIX trading products, including futures and ETNs. When it comes to trading the VIX, nothing moves quite like you think it should.
To clear things up a bit, here are eight VIX trading myths you don't want to fall for.
VIX Myth #1: You Can Buy and Sell the VIX
Reality. You cannot buy and sell the actual VIX. You can buy and sell VIX futures, but that is a very different thing. VIX futures can trade at premiums or discounts to the VIX. In fact, they almost always trade at premiums to the VIX.
VIX Myth #2: You Can Own the VIX Via Futures
Reality. VIX futures cash out when they expire based on a VIX settlement price. So unless you roll out, your position will vanish.
VIX Myth #3: A Rolled Position Will Track VIX Moves
Reality. VIX futures price based on where the market expects to see the VIX on a given date in the future, i.e, the day the VIX expires. That estimate may or may not move on a given day with a move in the VIX. The further out in time the future is, the less it will track VIX moves.
VIX Myth #4: VXX Tracks the VIX Better Than Futures
Reality. The iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE:VXX) is an exchange-traded note that is based on a hypothetical rolling 30-day VIX future and trades like a regular stock. However, it does not track VIX moves particularly well. In fact, it underperforms over time so long as VIX futures trade in an upwardly sloped term structure. And VIX futures virtually always trade that way.

Most U.S. high school biology teachers "fail to forthrightly explain evolutionary biology," finds an educator survey. And at least 13% "strongly support" teaching creationism.
Evolution, the inheritance of changed traits across generations, is the fundamental unifying concept underlying biology, as a National Research Council science education standards released in 1996 noted. That report said, "... 'biological evolution' cannot be eliminated from the life science standards."
But only 28% of the 926 teachers surveyed, "unabashedly introduce evidence that evolution has occurred and craft lesson plans so that evolution is a theme that unifies disparate topics in biology," according to the Science report by Michael Berkman and Eric Plutzer of Penn State. Most biology teachers belong to the "cautious 60%," who are "neither strong advocates for evolutionary biology nor explicit endorsers of nonscientific alternatives," the study says. As mentioned, 13% of respondents advocated biblical creationism or "intelligent design" creationism in biology class.
Our data show that these teachers understandably want to avoid controversy. Often they have not taken a course in evolution and they lack confidence in their ability to defend it. Their strategies for avoiding controversy are varied, but three were especially common and each has the effect of undermining science. Some teach evolutionary biology as though it only applies to molecular biology—completely ignoring macroevolution of species. At best, this approach sacrifices a rich understanding of the diversity of species. At worst it lends credence to the creationist claim that there is no evidence for one species giving rise to others.
Others defend the teaching of evolution as a necessary evil, using state examination requirements as a convenient means to disassociate themselves from the very material they are expected to teach. These examinations have only been recently introduced in most states. Yet, many teachers told us that they tell students that it does not matter if they really "believe" in evolution, so long as they know it for the test. One Michigan teacher tells students that they need to understand evolution because the biology curriculum "is organized as if evolution is true".
Finally, a sizable number of teachers expose their students to all positions—scientific or not. Students should make up their own minds, explained a Pennsylvania teacher, "based on their own beliefs and research. Not on what a textbook or on what a teacher says." Many of these teachers might have great confidence in their students' ability to learn by exploration. But does a 15-year-old student really have enough information to reject thousands of peer-reviewed scientific papers? This approach tells students that well-established concepts like common ancestry can be debated in the same way we debate personal opinions.
"I think the real amount of under-teaching of evolution is likely even worse," says science literacy expert Jon Miller of Michigan State University in East Lansing. Miller published a 2007 report in Science ranking the U.S.A. 34th out of 35 developed nations (ahead of only Turkey) on public acceptance of evolution. Nearly a third of Americans said evolution was "absolutely false" in that study despite decades of evidence from genes, fossils and field observations confirming the idea. "Not many teachers have the backbone to stand up to parents and school boards for evolution," Miller says.
In particular, Miller notes, many U.S. adults dispute the notion of humans evolving from an ape-like ancestor within the last 6 million years, despite the genetic evidence showing a common ancestry with chimps, gorillas and orangutans, and a fossil record filled with precursor human species, including Neanderthals, now shown to be even more closely related to us by genes. "We can accept evolution for animals, but don't believe it about ourselves," Miller says.
"Teachers who are advocates for evolutionary biology are more likely to have completed a course in evolution than teachers who are ambivalent about evolution or who teach creationism," says the Penn State survey study. "Combined with continued successes in courtrooms and the halls of state government, this approach offers our best chance of increasing the science literacy of future generations."

AbstractThe Miniature Thermal Emission Spectrometer (Mini-TES) on Spirit has studied the mineralogy and thermophysical properties at Gusev crater. Undisturbed soil spectra show evidence for minor carbonates and bound water. Rocks are olivine-rich basalts with varying degrees of dust and other coatings. Dark-toned soils observed on disturbed surfaces may be derived from rocks and have derived mineralogy (??5 to 10%) of 45% pyroxene (20% Ca-rich pyroxene and 25% pigeonite), 40% sodic to intermediate plagioclase, and 15% olivine (forsterite 45% ??5 to 10). Two spectrally distinct coatings are observed on rocks, a possible indicator of the interaction of water, rock, and airfall dust. Diurnal temperature data indicate particle sizes from 40 to 80 ??m in hollows to ???0.5 to 3 mm in soils.

Army 'assassin' recalls Cyprus turmoil
New controversy about the status of Cyprus has brought back memories to a North East man who claims he was part of a covert army squad on the island during the 1950s. BBC News Online's Bill Wilson talks to John Urwin about 'The Sixteen'.
Talks to broker a deal about the reunification of Cyprus have once again reached deadlock, despite the United Nations sponsoring talks between the Greek and Turkish communities on the island.
Failed hopes that an agreement can be reached between the two sides, in order to facilitate EU entry for the island, have brought back memories to former serviceman John Urwin.
When he left Newcastle to start his national service in late 1957 he had a bad stutter, and was looking forward to nothing more adventurous than a year of digging ditches with the Pioneer Corps.
Instead he claims he found himself recruited in Cyprus to a shadowy organisation known as The Sixteen, which he says carried out killings that could not be attributed to the British Army or state.
In his recently published memoirs, The Sixteen, he recalls the Cyprus of the 1950s as being in a state of turmoil, with a sniper shooting at his Pioneer unit during its first day on the island.
He says a few months after such a traumatic baptism, he was carrying out assassinations in Cyprus and also in Lebanon, Egypt, and Syria.
His targets were Greek-Cypriot Eoka terrorists, Soviet advisors and Syrian military personnel, between late 1957 and late 1959.
Intelligence centre
Mr Urwin, who has retired and lives in Newcastle Upon Tyne with his wife, says the first move to recruit him took place when he was "talent-spotted" during basic training in Wrexham.
He was approached again on a beach in Cyprus, not long after arriving on the island.
Unknown to Mr Urwin, since the early 1950s Cyprus had been the nerve centre for British intelligence operations in the Middle East region.
At the time Cyprus was in turmoil, with the Eoka fighters carrying out its campaign against British servicemen.
At the same time there were fears that Turkey might invade to protect its, minority, population on Cyprus.
His first action was carried out in autumn 1958 against a hideaway in the Troodos Mountains, after reports Eoka was building up arms in preparation for a possible Turkish invasion.
Mr Urwin said: "We were told they were running guns from the mountains.
"Although by the time we got to the cave the munitions had been moved, we took out the four terrorists we discovered there.
Operation Pinprick
"When their bodies were discovered it would have put fear into their colleagues. In fact they were lucky there were not more of them there when we arrived."
Not long afterwards, agreement was reached between the UK Government and Eoka for power-sharing between Turks and Greeks on the island, with the UK keeping some army bases.
His second operation, was codenamed Pinprick, when Mr Unwin claims he killed a Russian military advisor was killed in Beirut.
Shortly afterwards came an operation in Cairo to kill a Soviet military technician, followed by a mission when the whole of The Sixteen was involved in an attack on a Syrian military base.
He claims he was chosen for his role in the covert squad because he was a good shot, kept fit and, perhaps most importantly, did not drink. All of the team were teetotal.
He said: "They were not taking any risk with me. The average soldier was aged between 18 and 20, and though I was in my teens I was already a man.
"I was a gymnast, was extremely fit, and very quick to pick up new fitness and physical routines.
"And I was probably the only man in my Pioneer Corps unit who did not drink."
There is no documentary evidence to prove his story, apart from his Pioneer Corps army records to show he was in the armed forces in Cyprus.
'Dirty work'
He said: "Because of the way in which the group was set up, it would be extremely difficult for me to provide concrete proof to substantiate my story.
"I know it is difficult to be able to tell someone something exists without being able to show them something.
"The UK Government and military would not want to have been seen to be responsible for our actions, they did not want to have to admit to our dirty work - for murder if you like.
"We were the elite - we were more highly skilled than the SAS and were trained to get in and out of dangerous situations without the enemy knowing until it was too late."
When BBC News Online contacted the Ministry of Defence a spokesman said: "We have no record of this unit."

New York (ANI): Balthazar Getty and wife Rosetta say they have reconciled after almost calling it quits two years ago when Balthazar had a very public affair with British actress Sienna Miller.
"Here's the bottom line: It was a very challenging time for everybody involved, but I loved and missed my family too much not to make it work," the New York Daily News quoted Balthazar as saying in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar. "Rosetta is understanding enough and spiritual enough to let us try," he said.
Balthazar said life with his wife of 10 years and four children feels 'like we're better than we've ever been'. Balthazar announced his separation from Rosetta in summer 2008 amidst his affair with Miller, which carried on until May 2009.
However, Rosetta said dealing with the public embarrassment from her husband's affair – which was captured in photos of him often kissing a topless Miller in Italy – was heartbreaking. "I'm going to have to explain this to my daughters one day," she said. "I chose not to act from ego because I just felt like it would be too crushing for my children," she added.
Rosetta says that speaking out about the scandal may help others who are dealing with similar problems. "I'm open to talking about it because I believe we go through things in a public way to help other people get through it," she said. "I'd love to talk about it more with people when I''m clearer about it," she added.

Rogers found in 2010 or 2011 ?
it says that Steve Rogers is found in 2010.
but if you go to the trivia from steve rogers page it says that he is found in 2011?
so i want to know whats real?
this is what it says: According to Steve's WWII enlistment form, his birth date is July 4th 1918, making him twenty-five in 1943. Decades later in 2011, when he wakes up after almost seventy years, he is ninety-three (in Earth years). thats on the steve rogers trivia page so can someone tell me whats true
i think its 2011, because in the Avengers Agent Coulson is a big fan of Cap and he was there when his body was unfrozen, and the avengers takes place one year after Hulk an Thor,(is mentioned in the Avengers). (Gompy63 13:18, May 3, 2012 (UTC))
Historic Grand Prix, Monaco
On the official website of the Grand Prix, it says the 2010 edition took place on May 1st and May 2nd. Problem is that in this timeline, the 2010 Grand Prix is said to happen in april… What should be done to reflect the actual occurrence? — SGC.Alex 12:46, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
The real 2010 Grand Prix happened on Earth. The Iron Man 2 one happened on Earth-199999. Two separate universes. One of them fictional which is what this article is about, the fictional one. - Doomlurker 12:50, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Alright, but what is the canonical source or calculation giving this specific april 2010 date? Just for my own personal knowledge, no editing war intended! ;) — SGC.Alex 13:14, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
Ask the person that updated the timeline. If you can't find who it was I'll take a look and let you know. - Doomlurker 13:16, May 8, 2012 (UTC)
I don't want to edit, but on the official Iron Man 2 Stark Expo page, in the 'Message from Tony Stark', the Stark Expo opened up on May 7th, meaning that the Monaco would have happened at around the date it was during how it would be in primary Earth. Moonrose49 (talk) 19:39, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
Stark Industries
Howard didn't found Stark Industries with Obadiah Stane. He became a partner of Howard after a while. I think Obadiah is about 20 years younger than Howard.
First Stark Expo
The first Stark Expo was before Steve Rogers becoming a supersoldier. Just watch the movie.

1001 Messiahs
I suppose I was born to this office.I sometimes wonder if I had choices to make or that I was just along for the ride on this giant
wave.I now realize we all have choices to make and that it is a constant battle !
Should I choose to do good or bad?Should I fight this battle or withdraw?These choices are what defines who we are.
Can we can lose some battles and still win the war?If we lose the war what is at stake?Is it not our very souls?Do we want to dwell
with Jeremiah,Isaiah,Elijah(John the Baptist),and our Messiah?Or would we rather be with Hitler,Stalin,Legion,and the evil one?
Does anyone really believe that we can go through life trusting that our Messiah will see us through without us having to make
decisions of our own?
The very first choice or decision we have to make if we declare ourselves a "Christian" is what do I BELIEVE about our Messiah ?Is
it just enough to believe in Him?Who is He?Where did He come from?What did He tell me to do?How do I love Him with all I am?
What choices and decisions am I going to make?Well He make them all for me?Do I have free will?How well He judge me?Well I
be worthy?Well I find favor in His sight?Or well most of my decisions condemn me in His sight?
Decisions!!!!!! What are my choices?Where do I start?In the beginning the Messiah created the heavens and the earth. He formed
man from the dust of the earth and breathed life into his nostrils and he became a living soul. This is a good place to start. Where
our Messiah created man. Yet,he was incomplete. He was clothed in the skin of an animal(Was it a lamb?) and cast out of Eden.
Our Messiah loves us all. He wants us all to succeed and to return from where we were cast out of. He gives us Passover and the
prophets to show us how to return. The promise of our Messiah's blood to cleanse us and the breathe of His Holy Spirit to dwell in
us and make us complete.
The next decision you should make is do you believe the Bible is HOLY?Are the Baptists right when they declare,"That every word in
the Bible is true or every word is false?"Did not our Messiah say,"That my sheep know My voice,and that they would not follow or
listen to some other voice?"Did He not say that there were going to be tares planted amongst the wheat?That there were going to
become many claiming to be the Messiah or His Apostles?That just because they claim it that we should not follow
them?Decisions...and more decisions to make.
How many different voices are there in this world claiming to be the Messiah or His apostles?Are there not a 1001 different
"Christian Churches"?All declaring 1001 different Messiah's?How can this be?Did our Messiah come to make us all ONE ?
Decisions...and more decisions. What church should I join? Should I join a church at all?
So many voices....So many different brands of "Christianity" to choose from.
Our Messiah said,"If I don't go(Crucified on the cross),you will not be able to have the comforter or Holy Spirit ."So one of the most
important reasons for our Messiah birth,death,and resurrection was so that we could receive His Holy Spirit !!!Certainly then we
would know His voice!!! Earlier I said a good starting point was Genesis 2:7 The Messiah formed man from the dust of the earth
and then He breathed life into his nostrils and he became a living soul. John 20:20-22 says the Messiah breathed on them and
said,receive the Holy Spirit,whosoever sins yea remit so are they remitted...Have faith in this account it reflects Genesis 2:7.There is
a different voice from Luke, that says in Acts 2:1-4, Cloven(FORKED)tongues of flame ascend on them and they begin speaking in
foreign tongues. This account is from a man that never seen the Messiah or heard Him speak. Why did the early church grant this
man Gospel authority? Was there a warning that the devil was going to attempt to confuse our Messiah's life, death, and
resurrection? Daniel 7 :25 Says the 4th beast (Roman Empire) well speak great words (BLASPHEMIES) against the Most High,
well persecute the saints(Crucify and feed to lions and gladiators),Then they shall SEEK to change time( Take us off new moons
and give us the Julian(Ceasar) calendar) and the Laws ( By Rome sending Luke and Paul to preach a different Gospel than the true
disciples) and then they shall be given into their hand for a time and...Why can't people see that Acts contradicts the Gospel of John
about the filling of the Holy Spirit?That the Gospel of Luke also contradicts Matthew and Mark about the two thieves crucified with
Messiah .They both say that they blasphemed our Messiah,set their teeth against Him,mocked Him along with the scribes. Luke
says something entirely different and is where Catholic Absolution comes from. Later Luke introduces his boss and patient Paul on
his way to Damascus. Paul takes over from that point on. He says he doesn't want to brag and that he is no LESS than those "super
Apostles"(Matthew,Mark,and John),but goes on to list all the reasons some people say that he is the greatest figure in the New
Testament!!!! Even greater than the Messiah!!!! What !?! Yes,to those who listen to him and not the voice of our Messiah. Paul thinks
he can correct what our Messiah said!!!That our Messiah was mistaken or didn't mean what He said in Matthew 5:17-22.Do NOT
think that I have come to do away with the laws or the prophets.........Not the smallest letter(Jot)or the smallest word(Tittle)shall pass
away from the laws until the heaven and the earth pass away and all is accomplished. Have the heaven and earth passed
away?No,and either have the laws!!!! Paul says the curse of the law and the lawgiver Himself is accursed!!! He says the law was
nailed to the cross and died!!!!That we are not under the law but grace!!! That the laws were only good for death,and no one can
keep them !!! That they are a grievous burden that no one can keep!!! Honor your mom and dad are to grievous to keep? 1John 5:3
For this is the love of our Messiah,that we keep His commandments and they are not grievous(burdensome).Was the LAWS and
Commandments resurrected because they were found to be perfect without spot or blemish?Paul speaks of the Laws death but
not Its resurrection!!! Paul ignores the Psalms and all their praise and glory of the laws. How the laws are a refuge from every storm.
The ROCK to stand on and to build!!!!! Paul is like the murmurers in the wilderness that got bit by snakes. We have entered unto a
covenant of death(The laws and commandments).Why can't all the churches and "Christians"see that Paul hates our Messiah who
is the Word(Laws and Commandments)made flesh!! After all it is only WORDS recorded in the Bible that we would know our
Messiah at all!!!His Words,His laws,and His commandments that we can build our faith and church on!!! When we have a decision
to make and we have any doubt at all as to what to decide. Isn't it good to have it spelled out for us in the old testament?What our
Messiah says is good for us,our families,and our society ! What will promote long life,health,and mercy !
King Constantine,Rome,and the Catholic church made sure we all understand how important it is to follow the right voice. They
gave all the " Christian" Churches the Nicene Creed. It was excepted by both the eastern and western Catholic church and every
"Christian" church in the world. Every Bible college says its students must swear to uphold this Creed.In it is the statement that we
believe in Paul and all His Apostles. Not that we believe in Matthew,Mark,or John. Not even that we believe in the Messiah. Secondly
that we state that their are 66 books in the Bible. Which again gives church approval to Luke,Acts,and Paul's other books. Why was it
so important?Most theologians throughout the centuries have doubted that the true Simon Peter wrote 1 and 2 Peter for many
reasons. 1 Peter speaks of submitting to your elders,the church,and officials. Honoring your King(Peter was killed for not honoring
the king). 2Peter goes on to say that though Paul's epistles are hard to understand make sure that you honor him and his long
suffering. The true disciple Peter did NOT write 1 and 2 Pater.
So many different people slapping Paul on the back and saying what a wonderful "Christian" brother he is!!! He is a murmurer
against our Messiah's laws and commandments!! The murmurers in the dessert said we have entered into a covenant of
death(Paul says the law is good only for death) and snakes were sent to bite them. He is a liar !!! 1John 2:4 Says,"anyone who says
I know the Messiah and keeps NOT His commandments is a LIAR and the truth id not in him!!!!!!!!" Look at Acts 15:23-29.Its says we
gave you no such commandment...but if you keep these 4 things it will be well with you!! Eating food offered to Idols and sexual
immorality are commandments. Drinking blood and eating strangled foods are laws. So Luke and Paul in this so called Jerusalem
Decree throws away 8 of 10 commandments and 600 + Laws.
The Nicene Creed and 2Peter(Not written by the true Simon Peter)are all attempts to give Paul and Luke authority to preach a
different Gospel.A Gospel that takes "Christians"off of the ROCK(Laws,Commandments,and testimony of the Messiah).So that their
faith can have a foundation of sand(doctrines of men such as Luke and Paul). Matthew 13: 24-30 ; in these verses our Messiah
says that He gave ( Planted) us the truth ( Wheat) and an enemy at night gave (planted) us LIES ( Tares). Our Messiah said to let
the truth and lies grow side by side( In the New Testament) until the harvest time. Then He would command His workmen to bundle
up the tares and throw them in the fire. I was commanded to start this work. Is it not the harvest time? Notice workmen is plural?
Don't expect your pastor to start doing this for you. You have an obligation to exercise your free will in a manner that well benefit all
your brothers and sisters,yea,and your mom. Decisions, I hope I have helped you to make good informed decisions. Eternity is at
stake. Matthew 15 : 9 and Mark 7 : 7-9 our Messiah warns us of putting aside the commandments of our Father to do the doctrines
of men( Such as Luke and Paul) and churches. Revelations 14 :12 and this is the patience of the saints, those th at keep the
commandments and testimony of our Messiah. The covenant had to be changed or the jews could keep doing the laws,deny the
messiah,and expect to go to heaven. The new covenant is just like the old covenant except that you must also believe and keep our
Messiah's testimony ( His words,life,death,and resurrection). The old was written in those stone tablets by the Messiah,Yehoshua.
The new is those words made flesh to fulfill the promise of His birth, testimony, death, and resurrection. Our Messiah is the
laws,commandments,feast days,ordinances,precepts,and Judgements made flesh !!! Anyone who speaks against the laws and
commandments is speaking against the Messiah !!! I hope I shocked you enough to wake you up.
Pearl Jam's "BLACK"
This song which has a Jim and an Oldham along with a bunch of To le do's at the end was inspired from my letter to Mrs Gairth and
the Superintendent of schools for Tennessee which I wrote in March or April of 1989.Mrs.Gairth was my step daughter,Catherine
Werner's,teacher in Clarksville, Tennessee. The live version of BLACK on his free radio broadcast is even more revealing.I sent this
letter also to news papers and TV stations.I personally gave this letter and others titled;To Senator Sasser, President Bush(senior,2
letters},Dear Mr Tkach,Editor of the Plain Truth for the Worldwide Church of God,To Congress,and others to Shannon a DJ at
WKDF in Nashville,TN. Two years earlier, On December 22,1987 I personally handed Shannon and sent copies to Governor Ned
McWherter,Govenor Celeste of Ohio(My home town is To le do,Newspapers and a TV station. Those letters were to Governor
Celeste(3),President Reagan(2),the state courthouse of Houston County Georgia,and To the people of homes(Which foretold the
drought of 1988,and the end of THE DROUGHT in the South,except for Georgia).The following is a condensed version of the letter to
Mrs Gairth and the Superintendent of schools in TN.
This is the beast that comes up from the Bottomless Pit in the 9th chapter of Revelations. It is petroleum the results of an unholy
union between the Sons of God(Angels) and the daughters of men in the first 4 verses of 6th chapter of Genesis(Do the
research,man walked with the dinosaurs). They were half Spirit and half flesh,they perished in the flood. Our Creator made ONE
covenant with Noah,do NOT consume the blood of an animal it is its life therein,it is Holy,it is the Lords. How much holier or
UNHOLIER a forbidden unholy union between Spirit and flesh? All earthly substances breakdown over time,but plastic doesn't
cause it is the spirit part of that unholy union. When you turn petroleum into gasoline it creates a by product plastic resin(At first the
oil companies buried tons of plastic until it started replacing glass,wool,carpets,steel,etc).An angel gave man the key to the
bottomless pit (The Industrial Revolution) and Drake opened the bottomless pit in 1859 in Titusville,PA. Smoke arose as from a
great fiery furnace and it darkened the sun and the moon( Ever been in Detroit on A hot hazy summer day?The sky is orange !
Where exactly is the sun?)The beast that ascended were like locusts( Over 1.4 trillion automobiles have already been
produced,what a plague).They were like horses arrayed for battle(Steel),and when they moved they made a great noise(Walls along
interstate highways are for the noise)!When I looked closer I seen the faces of men(through the windshields)!!! Take a ride in your
beast. You can drive from Canada to Chile on millions of miles of asphalt (going by millions of homes with fibreglass
shingles,plastic carpets,linoleum,etc).Passing by 10,000s of businesses in one way or another involved with petroleum or one of
its by products. Think of all the things plastic a by-product of turning petroleum into gas ,diesel, kerosene,and jet fuel are made into.
Is the shirt or blouse your wearing plastic? Polyester clothes or nylon all from plastic. The diapers for your children? Are you eating
from plastic plates and bowls? Drinking from plastic glasses? How long would your list of things in your home be? Of what your
home is made of? Shingles,carpets,linoleum,etc etc etc...The thought of this might give you a headache,so take a aspirin made
from petroleum or have a stiff drink also from petroleum(Unless its Jack Daniels or Johnny Morgan).You'd probably pass 1000's of
landfills(Mountains of plastic).When you expand plastic it creates a by product called freon or CFC's which have assaulted our
ozone layer but air conditioning while driving through desserts is so refreshing. Rub petroleum one way its vinegar another and its
pharmaceuticals !! Later in Revelations it says that it will give image to the beast so that it can talk!! Can you make a movie or record
sound without plastic? And to those that are wise,The beast that was(Dinosaurs)and is not(Because of the flood),and yet
is(because of petroleum the spiritual remains of an unholy union).Our Creator said,"He would let this afflict mankind for 5 months. 5
X 30(days in month)= 150(1859 + 150 = 2009.Sometime within the next few years the Industrial Revolution will come to an end. Will
it be a result of our Creator binding up the spirits,a giant solar flare, or nuclear war? Global warming is a result of not listening to
Our Heavenly Father.
To the people of HOMES
My letter to the people of homes(Huron,Ontario,Michigan,Erie,and Superior) should have been published. It ended a drought in the
South that was the worst in our history(1987 was the driest year in TN history,yet in the last week of that year within 4 days of giving it
to Shannon,on December 22,1987, and sending it to newspapers and elected officials the drought was declared over.The ground
wasn't frozen and all that water got into the aquifer.The next year at this time it was -15 degrees.The next few years farmers had
record bumper harvests. On that same day I sent that letter to Jim Steel a DJ at WIOT in To le do. When I called him in late 1988.He
said immediately,"Holy Shit your letter!!!!!".National Geographic said,"The drought of 1988 was the worst national disaster to strike
the USA,and killed over 10,000 people from the heat."Yet,did you hear of this? Two years later I met with Senator Sasser's
representative in Clarksville,TN in the court house.I told her she was Senator Sasser. She said she wasn't.I again told her she was.
She again denied it. I said,"I am going to give you the originals of my letter to Senator Sasser and President Bush. If Senator Sasser
decides to do something about this,then anything I say to you is like speaking in his ear. She said,"In that respect I am Senator
Sasser,I am his representative". I replied,"Well,I'm Yehoshua. If the things written in these letters doesn't come to pass,don't worry
about it. But,if they do,you have spoken to Yehoshua, when you get back to your office please make copies and send them to me for
my records".It was the only time I gave out my handwritten originals. By the time I received my copies an early tropical storm Allison
was already on its way to the South.In that letter to Sasser,,I complained of the governments failure to make known the letter to the
people of homes. How angry our Father was that it was buried just like they wish He had remained buried,and put plagues of
hail,floods,and whirlwinds on the South.A very chilling and scary letter.In the letter addressed to President Bush(Senior),I wrote that
Russia was on the meat hook ready to be carved up(More than One year before the Berlin wall came down!).
Governor Ned McWherter sent me a reply 2 years after receiving my letter to the people of homes and others I sent him on
December 22,1987,apologising for failing to acknowledge receipt of my packet of letters I sent him in late December of 1987.Of
course I have a copy. But,other than that all my attempts to show how our Messiah is stretching His arm out to wake this nation and
the world,my works have been placed under a bushel basket. Locked up,buried,and ignored. No one will even bother to ridicule or
explain them other than Dr Adams who wrote in my review for compensation from the Veterans Administration," ... long winded
tangential letters,which he has written to various people,which do seem to imply that the patient has the gift of prophecy."After
serving 7 years in the U.S. Army with an excellent service record,I filed a 1A0,conscientious objector. Instead of granting me this,I
was sent to Walter Reed Army Hospital in D.C.. I was followed around Clarksville,TN while wearing sackcloth(which I wore for over
3 years).Helicopters buzzed our house routinely,shaking everything off of our walls,even though warrant officers continuing phoned
in their tail numbers that lived around us. I could tell the color of their eyes they flew so low!!! My personal mail was opened !! Since,I
got no real reply from anyone in the USA,I sent copies of all my letters to the USSR,which resulted in an earthquake in Armenia that
killed over 40,000 people!
The people in Johnson County,Iowa should look up case# SRCR0066132 (Charge Eluding (SRMS). My defense was,Diplomatic
Immunity.I provided the review from Dr. Adams that implied I had the gift of prophecy. Prophets prophecy and included all my letters.
The people in Johnson County,Iowa should know why 12 tornadoes hit their county in ONE day. Why hail keeps smashing their
cars.I shook the dust off my shoes when I left Toledo,Ohio,Ohio,Clarksville,Tennessee,Tennessee,Johnson County,Iowa,and the
state of Iowa.
Click on the "services" tab to see the prophecy in a court document about my prophecy sending hurricanes to Pat Robertson and
his church in Virginia Beach and a letter I sent to him at his church. Was it a Mt Carmel? Surely our Messiah would give to someone
He sent great works and signs. I have my copy of that court document with the courts stamp as to when it was received. Get in touch
with me and I'd be glad to send you copies of my letters or court documents.

Uncommon Ground
Paintings by
de Jennifer McChristian
Acerca del libro
This book is a compilation of my favorite pieces from 2007 through 2011, during which time I explored the urban beauty of downtown Los Angeles, hosted weekly figure drawing sessions and traveled to far off lands for adventure and inspiration. Some of the paintings are done 'en plein air', while others are color studies or larger studio pieces.
My goal has always been to communicate my internal and emotional experience with what I am observing, echoing my own evolution, process and growth as an artist. In this way I hope to transcribe the common everyday spaces into the fascinating, beautiful and uncommon ground which I perceive.
I hope that you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed painting them.
