Cities, War, and Terrorism: Towards an Urban Geopolitics
Copyright © 2004 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd
Editor(s): Stephen Graham
Print ISBN: 9781405115742
Online ISBN: 9780470753033
"This is a brilliant, disturbing book. Modern cities have often been seen as places of extraordinary creativity and creative destruction, but for this very reason they are also often sites of spectacular military and paramilitary violence. These essays unsettle so many taken-for-granted ways of thinking about cities. Their authors crouch and scurry along streets that, for too long, have seemed opaque to our political and intellectual imaginations. There is a tremendous power and urgency to their arguments that should be confronted by anyone concerned at the intimacy of the connections between cities, war and terrorism." Derek Gregory, University of British Columbia
"Cities, War and Terrorism is a rare accomplishment. Bringing together a truly interdisciplinary group of authors, it provides the first, original investigation of the urbanisation of modern conflict. In their plural ways and myriad sites, the essays in this book investigate the changing nature of the contemporary battlespace and the implosion of distinctions between inside and outside, civilian and military. Together, they mark the beginning of a new and vital field of analysis - an urban geopolitics - that must concern us all." David Campbell, University of Durham
"Acts of war and terror against cities and their inhabitants (both anti-state and state sanctioned) are saturating our contemporary world. Yet urban researchers are in denial of this starkest of contemporary urban realities. Graham brings together the renegade thinkers and researchers who are tracking the ways in which global geopolitics is imploding into the urban world. Cities, War and Terrorism is a stunningly successful synthesis of the subtle interpenetration of global geopolitics and the micro-politics of cities and neighborhoods. It marks the beginning of a new and crucial research domain: that of urban geopolitics. This book must, and will, change the way urban researchers and planners think about and explore city regions. It helps to make sense of the ways in which the historic functions of cities and nation states (social welfare, education, health, planning) are being overwhelmed by the imperative of 'security' and the politics of fear. Purposely provocative and deeply disturbing." Leonie Sandercock, University of British Columbia
"Graham's anger at the appropriation of the events of 9/11, simmering beneath the surface of his general introduction, contributes to a strong sense of editorial passion and involvement. This volume provides a fascinating, and immensely broad-ranging, call to understand the complex inter-relationships between geopolitical forces and those resilient urban lives."
Totalitarian Movements and Political Religion, Volume 7 Issue 4 (December 2006)

Jaguar Repair Problems? Ask a Jaguar Repairs Expert.
Hello and welcome to justanswer.com
were the fault codes cleared and if so did the engine light come back on? can you supply me with the last six of the vin?
No I have not done anything so far. Last 6 of VIN are F44934
Ok all those cylinder missfires may be caused by a vacuum leak, a clogged fuel filter or worn spark plugs/fouled coils. The P1647 is almost always a failed upstream oxygen sensor as that is the one on the driver side.
I recommend we have all these codes cleared then see which ones return.
Also in the mean time start the engine and listen for any air or hissing noise from the engine comaprtment to see if we can find a vacuum leak.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 9/11/2012 (1741 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
If your house were on fire, heaven forbid, what's the one item contained within that you would try to take with you? (People, pets and computers not included.)
That's a tough one. I'm a bit of a nerd so I'm pretty attached to my books, but considering how one can get just about any book in digital format now, I'd probably be OK to let them burn. So I guess if I had to stick to the rules and choose only one thing to take with me, I'd probably save my travel journal from my second trip around the world. That was a powerful time in my life, full of personal growth, and I'd hate to lose those memories.
What's the one clothing/fashion item you can't live without?
I have a couple of items. My old, ratty Boston Red Sox hat is one of my favourite things to wear. I'll wear it when I'm bumming around town, training at the gym, or even out on a Saturday night. I'm pretty sure lots of people see me wearing it and think to themselves "Come on man, really?" or "Seriously, throw that thing out already" or "Kill it with fire." Well I'm sorry, friends, but I love that hat and it's just not gonna happen. The second item would be my ASICS Kahana 6 trail runners. They're super comfortable and they're great for shuttling books out of building fires.
What's your favourite knick-knack and why?
With no hesitation, I'd say the novelty underpants for squirrels a friend gave me for my birthday a few years back. Totally hilarious! The quote on the package says, "The poor little things don't even know they're naked!" Yes, I know squirrel underpants aren't meant to be displayed as a knick-knack in the home but I do it anyway because I think it's good for a laugh. After all, you know what they say: The secret to humour is surprise... and rodent undergarments staged on a bookcase.
What's the oldest thing you own?
I own a set of silverware that goes back about three or four generations in my family. I don't know its exact age but I know it's pretty old. When I was travelling through Nepal, I also picked up a old Tibetan prayer book that might be from close to the beginning of the 20th century. Oh, and I bought a brand new laptop about six months ago so I guess that's pretty much outdated now.
Describe your most beloved piece of furniture.
I have this awesome lime green beanbag chair on the floor in my living room. It's perfect for reading, watching sports and having unplanned afternoon naps (yes, these three often coincide). Once in a while, I'll even sleep in it overnight. This chair has magical powers and the authority to grant anyone superhuman sleeping abilities.
Is there an edible item we'll always find in your pantry or fridge?
I hope so! My fridge and cupboards tend to be pretty well stocked. It's hard work keeping them that way though because I tend to consume a ridiculous amount of calories through my training. Usually I have a decent stockpile of energy bars and gels. And I can't remember a life before pink grapefruit juice.

What gives you the confidence to start your own business?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Business
I'm taking part in a multi-part series over on Anita Campbell's Small Business Trends where she has a group of Internet entrepreneurs answering a question on starting and running businesses each week. This week we were asked what gave us the confidence to start our own business. My answer is below:
When I decided to start Gear Live, it was with the knowledge that I knew I could do it, and that I wanted to strive to be one of the best at what I did. I really do think it is all about drive. When it came to confidence, I was simply confident that I could not only do it, but do it very, very well. With that goal in mind, I forged ahead, and never took my eye off of that goal.
Starting a company on your own is tough, and there are a lot of moments where you are going to question whether it was the right move, or whether you should throw in the towel. I decided that I wouldn't throw in the towel until I hit my goal. If my goal was to be one of the best, then I couldn't stop until I got there
In my estimation, if you don't have the desire to be the best, and would instead be happy with the status quo, then you are in the wrong business. Find something you are passionate about, something that you know you can always get behind, and something that you absolutely, without a doubt, want to achieve. Once you find that, your confidence will be more than enough to not only start a business, but having a very good chance of succeeding.
So what do you think? What gave you the confidence to start your own business?

Karl Denver Biography
Angus McKenzie, 16 December 1931, Glasgow, Scotland, d. 21 December 1998. Denver was raised in Glasgow, but left school at 15 to join the Norwegian merchant navy. He enlisted in the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders in 1951, and fought in the Korean war. Rejoining the navy after he was discharged, Denver jumped ship in America and ended up in Nashville. Adopting his new stage name, he appeared on radio and television and played the Grand Ole Opry before being deported in 1959. In England he teamed up with Gerry Cottrell and Kevin Neil to form the Karl Denver Trio. They were discovered by impresario Jack Good, who featured the trio on his television series Wham! and placed them on a national tour with Billy Fury and Jess Conrad. During his travels Denver had developed a love of contrasting folk forms and his repertoire comprised traditional material from the Middle East, Africa and China.
His flexible voice spanned several octaves and his unusual inflections brought much contemporary comment. He enjoyed four UK Top 10 hits during 1961/2, including Marcheta (number 8, June 1961), Mexicali Rose (number 8, October 1961), Never Goodbye (number 9, February 1962) and Wimoweh. The latter, a Zulu folk song already covered by the Weavers and re-recorded by the Tokens as The Lion Sleeps Tonight, reached number 4 in January 1962. Denver continued to enjoy minor chart success over the next two years, with A Little Love A Little Kiss and Still both reaching the Top 20. Denver also hosted the BBC Light Programme radio show Side By Side, which featured the Beatles as regular guests. With the advent of beat groups, though, he progressively turned to cabaret work. By his own admission he began to depend on alcohol, and this hampered his career. He based himself in Manchester, which in part explained Lazyitis (One Armed Boxer), his 1989 collaboration with the citys neo-psychedelic favourites, the Happy Mondays, which reached UK number 46 the following June. He also released an updated version of Wimoweh on Factory Records. He was recording new material shortly before his death in 1998.

- Preventionista
- Mommy is Tired
Mommy is Tired
When I was little, the phrase, "mommy is tired" was one that my mom would occasionally use to signal that she needed some space. Although not a mom, I have embraced the phrase when I need space from this work. With all of the recent hullabaloo about the existence (or not, depending on who you talk to) of rape culture, awareness and risk reduction vs. prevention debates, and debating whether men can be involved in this work without taking over the work…well, mommy is tired. And when mommy is tired, she needs to just step away for a bit.
All of this leads me to contemplate the need for self-care. I know, I know. I've already blogged about this several times. But I was recently asked to present on the topic of self-care for preventionists at an upcoming conference, so I've really been diving into what this looks like. Eons ago, when I was working in a local program, we had regular discussions about the need for self-care strategies to prevent burn-out of our counseling staff. Preventionists were always invited to attend these discussions, but there was an assumption made that prevention staff had the "fun" job – they were out and about in schools and in the community, engaging people in conversation and playing fun games with the kids…prevention was the fun job, right? So, why would they need to talk about self-care?
Now that prevention is 100% of my job, I see that it is fun, positive, rewarding work. But it's also challenging, frustrating, and sometimes it is simply exhausting work. We are working to change the culture by increasing knowledge, changing attitudes, and ultimately changing behaviors. That is no easy task! I've been feeling a lot of tension in prevention-land lately as we are challenged with the discussions I mentioned in the first paragraph. Frankly, at times I really want to just check out of the conversations all together. And I've decided that it's okay for me to do that. It doesn't mean that I won't jump back into the conversations again…I most certainly will. Like any good preventionist, I am passionate about social change work and challenging norms that impede our work to end sexual violence. But some days, I just want to nerd out on evaluation research articles and color-code my calendar. Is that so bad?
What about you? How do you practice self-care as a preventionist? Feel free to comment below. I'd love to hear your ideas!

Day 12: We got right to work today on a variety of tasks. We're getting a second driver station up and running so we can have drive practice before we hold tryouts later in the season.
Meanwhile….on the other side of the room…a rather creative brainstorming process led to the inevitable conclusion that we needed to use "the force" to keep our robot together!
We started to do some very premature pre-season scouting of the teams that will be at GTR East and Waterloo. We need our new team mates to start connecting team numbers to names and their histories.
CAD work was continued. We're working on getting drawings done for our drive train.
We need to be careful with dimensioning and other specifications. There's lots to learn!
Part of our team embarked on a great expedition today to the grocery store. Tomorrow we're hosting our Parent Appreciation Pasta dinner, and we estimate 100 people will be there! There's lots to do to get ready for such a large event. We made a menu plan and a grocery list. We researched quantities online for feeding so many people.
"5 lbs of ground beef….that's like a baby cow!" -Sam, grade 10
We researched coupons and estimated how much dinner would cost. We then took a field trip through a blizzard to the grocery store. We got strange looks buying SO much food!
For future reference: we bought 5lbs of ground beef, 7 onions, 16 900g bags of pasta, 8L of tomato sauce, 6 cans of tomatoes, garlic, 12 peppers, 12 heads of lettuce, 4 heads of romaine, 4 cucumbers, 2 bags of spinach, 5 bottles of salad dressing, 6 carrots, green onions, 5 loaves of French bread, 5 cake mixes, cooking oil, 2 dozen eggs, 2 pounds of butter, 2kg of icing sugar…and all that cost around $140.
We'll start to cook right after school tomorrow!
In knitting news….we've got a new expert! Kare-bots are being knit EVERYWHERE!!!
our other knitting project is ongoing, and ever growing larger. It will be exciting to see it completed!
We're having lots of fun with each other while we're working hard on designing our robot. We are celebrating the small moments, like finding a heart candy with FIRST on it….
…and we're developing bonds as a team….and inside jokes as well.
We work until 10 tomorrow. Our Pasta dinner starts at 6:30, but families are welcome to arrive early or stay late to see our progress.

Michelle Rodriguez - Ana Lucia in the series - and Cynthia Watros, who plays Libby, were stopped on the same road in Hawaii within 15 minutes of each other.
They were both charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and released on $500 (£288) bail each. They must each attend court on 29 December.
Both women joined the second series of the drama, which is filmed in Hawaii.
The actresses were stopped in separate cars in the early hours of Friday after their vehicles were spotted by police weaving on a road in Kailua.
Popular drama
They were both breathalysed and then arrested.
A spokesman for Lost was unavailable for comment.
The castaway show was named outstanding drama series at this year's Emmy Awards.
Six million UK viewers watched the first episode of Lost on Channel 4, with the first episode of the second series attracting a US audience of 23.4 million to ABC in September.
It is the second time stars of the show have hit headlines in recent weeks.
Actor Josh Holloway - who plays Sawyer - and his wife Yessica were robbed at gunpoint at their Honolulu home in October.
A man was later arrested in connection with the robbery.

By Tina Snell, Staff Writer
Robert Sweetgall, author, speaker and walker extraordinaire, spent Wednesday in Morrison County talking to residents about living healthier. The sessions were sponsored by Healthy Communities Collaborative and Live Better, Live Longer.
Sweetgall's scheduled talks included wellness at the workplace, adding years to one's life, motivation to move and Nordic walking.
While Sweetgall said he was an introvert, his talks were lively with many anecdotes on his travels interspersed with his desire to help people live longer and healthier.
Sweetgall has authored 19 books on the subject of a healthy lifestyle, adding years to one's life and life to one's years. He has also walked seven times across America.
While walking is his primary focus, he said that there are several things people need to help them live longer, healthier and happier. They include:
• Having good physiological and physical health;
• Being safe;
• Practicing good nutritional habits. He recommends reducing red meat, sugar and dairy consumption;
• Sleeping well, which he says comes from daily physical activity;
• Seeing the humor in life;
• Reducing stress;
• Keeping connected with friends and family;
• Being able to cope with loss;
• Volunteering and improving one's humanitarianism;
• Learning something new every day;
• Embracing one's spirituality; and
• Maintaining a positive attitude.
Sweetgall was impressed with what Morrison County is doing to increase the health of its citizens. The Farm to School program, Healthy Communities Collaborative and Live Better, Live Longer programs were just what every community needs, he said.
"Everyone needs a Day of Caring every day, or at least weekly," he said. "People's plates are too full."
Jokingly, he did say that the Day of Caring is great, but if the homeowners did their own yard work, they would live longer and be healthier.
He recommened taking a daily walk before work and taking life with a grain of salt.
Sweetgall said he is worried about the next generation.
"It's the first time since the Civil War that children are expected to live a shorter life than their parents," he said.

The Vogue Theatre Series
Medeski Scofield Martin & Wood with Gordon Grdina Trio
June 20 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $45/40 + SC
A powerhouse groove trio meets an electric jazz legend in this fiery summit of high wire improvs, adventurous funk, and psych-jazz.
Keyboardist John Medeski, drummer Billy Martin, and bassist Chris Wood are no strangers to collaboration, having worked with artists as diverse as John Zorn, Maceo Parker, and Natalie Merchant, but it's with jazz/rock guitar titan John Scofield that they've found their perfect fourth. Sharing a work hard/play hard aesthetic and a love of jazz, rock, avant-groove, New Orleans boogie, and Afro beat, these envelope-pushing badasses go from far out to right in the pocket.
HIROMI: THE TRIO PROJECT featuring Anthony Jackson (Bass) and Simon Phillips (Drums) with Sekoya featuring Amalia
June 21 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $50/45 + SC
"She's to the piano what Hendrix and Van Halen are to the guitar. Yeah, she's that good" – All About Jazz
Japanese pianist/composer Uehara Hiromi's highly complex but deeply emotional music goes from "heart to heart, not fingers to ears." Her virtuoso chops are perhaps only rivaled by her omnivorous musical curiosity and innovative spirit. With Anthony Jackson bass (Chick Corea, Steely Dan) and hard-hitting drummer Simon Philips (Al DiMeola, Jeff Beck), this fierce but playful trio blends percussive post-bop, proggy polyrhythms, mesmerizing counterpoint melodies, swing, and rock, all accompanied by Hiromi's joyful offhand vocalizations and gleeful bouncing off the piano bench!
An Evening with Arturo Sandoval
June 23 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $55/50 + SC
"The man barely can contain all the music rushing out of him." – Chicago Tribune
A nine-time Grammy Award winner who also boasts Billboard Awards, an Emmy, and a US Presidential Medal of Freedom, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval helped revolutionize Cuban music in the 1970s as a member of Irakere.
Mentored by the great Dizzy Gillespie, Sandoval is a "blazing, technically flawless trumpeter [with a] supercharged tone" (All Music), whose unabashed love of jazz bursts forth in bebop and Cuban styles topped with dynamic trumpet fireworks. He's lent his delightfully boisterous playing to the likes of Herbie Hancock, Gloria Estefan, and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Jill Barber with Royal Wood
June 24 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $35/30 + SC
Jill Barber is the quintessential Canadian performer; she has won numerous awards, has been nominated for two JUNOs, and sings in both English and French. Whether evoking a café in Paris on her last release, Chansons, sipping champagne in a cocktail lounge on Mischievous Moon, or exchanging glances across a crowded room on the smash hit Chances, a Jill Barber performance, steeped in romance, takes you to the moon and back. On her new album, due out in June, Jill turns it up a notch, embracing Stax rhythms and a Philly soul backbeat to go along with her warm sultry vocals.
Maceo Parker with the Night Crawlers featuring Dawn Pemberton
June 25 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $45/40 + SC
"The funkiest sax player alive."—Chicago Tribune
Rhythmically charged funky horn bursts and soulful, gospel-tinged blues inflections are the hallmarks of Maceo Parker's sound. A longtime sideman for James Brown (20 years!) he has also lent his funk energy to George Clinton, retro-'70s disco darlings Dee-Lite, De La Soul, Prince, Ray Charles, Dave Matthews Band, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Whatever the context, one thing is certain: Maceo Parker is the living, breathing pulse that connects the history of funk in one golden thread. Don't miss Maceo's own die-hard groove band as they prove once again that you can't stop the funk.
Charles Lloyd Quartet with Chris Gestrin Trio
June 27 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $55/50
"One of the greatest saxophonists on the planet…never out of touch with his audience."—BBC Radio 3
Since 1960, Lloyd has lent his adventurous, lyrical sound to everyone from Cannonball Adderly and Keith Jarrett to The Beach Boys. His early experiments blending jazz and rock charted a path that led to the electric fusion of Miles Davis and Headhunters, while his exploration of spirituality and transcendental meditation added a new depth to his sound. Lloyd moves from hard swing to subtle ballads, blending gorgeous textures and Eastern influences. With Gerald Clayton piano, Joe Sanders bass, Gerald Cleaver drums.
An evening with Cassandra Wilson
June 29 The Vogue Theatre @ 9pm $50/45
"Arguably the greatest living female jazz singer…her smoky alto bends almost everything to its will." – All Music Guide
Named "America's Best Singer" by Time Magazine, two-time Grammy Award-winning Cassandra Wilson first came to prominence through a leading role in Wynton Marsalis' Pulitzer Prize-winning work Blood on the Fields. Wilson's restless musical curiosity has seen her move the goalposts of vocal jazz. Blues, country, soul, rock, folk and even some hip hop techniques show off her "dark-treacle voice and precisely calibrated palette." (Telegraph). With Lonnie Plaxico bass, Brandon Ross guitar, John Cowherd keyboards, John Davis drums.

Jazz Wrapper
Bobby McFerrin's arrival on the early 80's jazz scene was massive - wonderfully shocking and mind expanding. The first Vancouver International Jazz Festival took place in 1986 and Bobby McFerrin was in our lineup! His prodigious talent was universally acknowledged and in short order he found himself in the rarified pantheon of modern jazz greats – working with a cross section of the best talents in jazz - Victor Feldman, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, Wynton Marsalis and Jon Hendricks.
His first four albums dated from 1982 and Bobby ultimately crossed over to the mainstream music audience with the release of his biggest hit– 1988's Don't Worry Be Happy on his fourth album Simple Pleasures – a tune that was composed and recorded almost as an afterthought to the session at the very last minute. Since the 80's McFerrin has performed with Yo-Yo Ma, Chick Corea, St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and has conducted orchestras worldwide.
It seems almost surreal to consider that we've gone 29 years without a reprise. Better late than never, spirityouall – a re-imagining of Americana, spirituals and original songs is among Bobby McFerrin's most exciting projects and promises to deliver – dynamite!

A total of 50 apps were nominated, spanning across 10 different categories.Apps were nominated and selected based on quality, innovation, and the requirement that they have launched or had a "major" update in the past year.Google announced nominees back in April, with the likes of Dubsmash, Alto's Adventure, Toca Nature, Robinhood, Minecraft Story Mode, and Clash of Kings found on the list.So who won? Let's take a look. See larger image Best Game: Clash Royale Supercell is known for its Clash of Clans game, and now Google is giving the company props for its Clash Royale game.Clash Royale looks and feels like a spin-off of the Clans before it. Here players battle one another in real time using a series of strategic cards. Those cards offer different types of troops you can march into battle, and if you're good enough, come out victorious on the other side. It's very different from the base building of Clash of Clans.Clash Royale (free) See larger image Best use of Material Design: Robinhood Robinhood wasn't commended for giving commoners access to free stock trading. Instead, Google awarded the Robinhood team for its design prowess.Despite Material design being found in over a million Android apps now, it makes sense that Google would want to highlight an app with the freshest and most extensive use of material design.Tapping and swiping through Robinhood, it's clear to see the team thought a lot about how to make looking at rather boring financial stats playful and interesting.Robinhood (free) See larger image Best use of Google Play Game Services: Table Tennis Touch Anyone ready for a quick game of Table Tennis? Even if your friends answer no, Table Tennis Touch will find some random stranger using Google Play Game Services who can put your backhand, forehand, lob, spin, and any other table tennis terminology to the test.If you're unable to find someone to play against, you can always challenge the computer to a quick match to 11.Table Tennis Touch ($2.99) See larger image Standout Startup: Hopper Don't let the cute bunny on the app's icon fool you, Hopper is rather brutal to airlines.Unlike most travel apps that give you the current price for plane tickets, Hopper will tell you if you need to buy tickets now, wait, or find different dates to get the best deal on your flight.Hopper will send you alerts for trips you've entered, letting you know when the price drops or when the price is about to go up.I just looked at prices for a trip I've been thinking about booking, and if I wait two more weeks to book it Hopper tells me I could save up to $30 based on historical pricing data.Thanks, my little furry friend.Hopper (free) See larger image Standout Indie: Alphabear Achieving success as an independent developer is a rough and tough process. So what do the developers at Spry Fox do? They release a really cute game, Alphabear.The goal of the game is to spell words using various letters on the game board, in turn helping bears grow. There are various types of bears you can unlock based on the number of points you earn in each level.Just make sure you use as many letters as you can, if not, you risk some of the letters turning into rocks, in turn preventing how big your bear can get.Alphabear (free) See larger image Most Innovative: NYT VR Innovation in VR was a hot topic this year at I/O with Android's upcoming Daydream feature taking center stage. Furthering the theme of innovation and VR, The New York Times' NYT VR app took the home the award for the most innovative app.Users of the NYT VR app can use Google Cardboard to go inside the news. Or for those who don't subscribe to the NYT you can still use the app to view interactive videos.NYT VR (free) See larger image Go Global: Pokémon Shuffle Mobile What's more Global than Pokémon? Nothing, according to Google.Actually, Google's Go Global award is for developers who create an app or game with broad appeal, and offered it in localized languages. Fellow nominees in this category included Dragon Ball Z Dokkan Battle.However, Pokémon prevailed and is now ready for you to train and battle your Pokémon by completing puzzles. It's reminiscent of Bejewled.Pokémon Shuffle Mobile (free) See larger image Early Adopter: World Around Me Ever wanted to have X-Ray vision? Well, with World Around Me you can kind of make that happen. After installing the app, you can pick a venue category and hold your phone up to eye level. As you spin around, signs are displayed giving you names, ratings, and the distance to nearby places.It's similar to previous augmented reality apps we've seen that overlay Wi-Fi connections and whatnot.World Around Me (free) See larger image Best Families App: Thinkrolls 2 If you have kids, you know how hard it can be to find a quality app you feel comfortable with them using.Google thought enough of Thinkrolls 2 to proclaim it as the best app for families in 2016.The object of the game is to roll a character through various levels, using a series of gestures and critical thinking to get past objects. First, players will need to slide an accordion out of the way. Later, players will have to deal with obstacles such as water, gravity, and sequencing.In the few minutes I experimented with it this morning, I went from stumped to excited back to stumped. My kids would love it, no doubt.Thinkrolls 2 ($2.99) See larger image Best App: Houzz Taking top honors is Houzz, which I assume is pronounced "house." Unlike other home decoration and improvement apps, Houzz gives you ideas and puts you in touch with the contractors or designers directly within the app.It has a Pinterest-like feel to it, whereby you can save different photos and design ideas to your account and share them with friends. You can even take an existing photo and sketch over it to illustrate your idea. Go ahead, get carried away.Perhaps the most intriguing feature is the ability to view pieces of furniture or decorations in a room of your home using a photo. Neat!The app is free, which is a good thing, because if I were to ever show it to my wife it'd cost me thousands.

Some people didn't get enough (of the right sort of) attention as children, others got too much of it ... both types ended up being attention seeking brats as adults!
Apparently I received just the right amount and am completely perfect.
(Lotus ... don't say it, don't even think it!).
"I like pigs. Cats look down on you; dogs look up to you; but pigs treat you like an equal."
Sir Winston Churchill.
But maybe I am just splitting coiffed hairs.
Andy Nolch and his supposedly anti-COS Scientology videos are part of an OSA psy-op. I have evidence of this, but I am not willing to reveal it as it will reveal my identity. You can believe it or not, your prerogative.
Welcome to ESMB and thanks for this .... he does appear to be a bit "strange" so it wouldn't totally surprise me but I don't think anyone around here really cares ... it's been impossible to take any of them seriously since they strapped/nailed cameras to their heads a few years ago in an attempt to intimidate Marty.
"I like pigs. Cats look down on you; dogs look up to you; but pigs treat you like an equal."
Sir Winston Churchill.
CoS has a playbook, laid out by their founder, and in the past they've been notoriously stuck to it, even though David Miscavige the great Führer could take a lot of artistic license - to actually behave more machiavellian, slyer, smarter in the handling of critics and criticism. Whether that'd mean in the individual cases to be more cruel or benevolent, is entirely up to him, I refer to "machiavellian" in the sense of what Machiavelli recommended in the book "The Prince". (Which everyone should read by the way, as it's no difficult or long read either.) That means to implement successful strategies for public relations, regardless of their ethical or unethical nature. That can mean to kill, threaten, deceive, slander, but also to bribe, remunerate, compliment or appease somebody, entirely depending on the requirements of the situation.
David Miscavige seems not to be stupid in the IQ sense, but he seems so emotionally immature and compromised by his narcissistic and vengeful issues that his scope is visibly limited in the face of a "threat". If David Miscavige were to take Machiavelli & Co. serious (or any paid "wog" advisor he could consult, for that matter) and apply strategies that actually are in his and CoS' best long term interest, then from time to time we should see something "benevolent" and appeasing. Not just hopelessly cheesy and pathetic faux "social betterment" photo ops but something that sways a bit more people than a handful of hopelessly dumbed down SJWs, or people who also are into crap like televangelists, or some religious scholars who are thoroughly corrupted by money or their own frantic urge to protect their religion from the growing pressure of atheism. Instead, the (faux) benevolent aspect is entirely missing in David Miscavige's playbook. If I look between the lines... With David Miscavige, it's stomp, stomp, whine, whine, hissyfit, whine, hissyfit, whine, threaten, *glugluglug*, stomp.
His priorities are flawed. We've been getting hate pages and "campaigns" whenever it's clear critics begin to piss him off personally, and not just when they're being particularly damaging to CoS.
In the light of the history of that unflexible decisions it is untypical for them/him to resort to anything like false-flagging an indie or teaming up with an indie, even if it's just about money.
It is something you or me might find halfways "smart" to do, but would Miscavige do it?
Please understand, in case you don't know, that there have been similar, unsubstantiated conspiracy theories in the past, - Emma is CoS, Emma's buddies are CoS, one third of ESMB are CoS (e.g. paid actors), Marty is CoS,... (Yes, there's some new data on that one which makes the case interesting again, acknowledged... but then, it looks more like Marty being a particularly stubborn stupid twat recently, maneuvring himself into a corner, rather than any elaborate long term strategy or scheme, for which he IMO is not clever enough.) I'm sure I forgot some. These people provided no proof and hardly any arguments as well, and would get angry when people wouldn't just take it all at face value.
I'm wondering, is the same going to happen here?
A lot of other people are going to react similar.
In the face of past similar CoS conspiracy theories which have been put out there notoriously unsubstantiated, please provide more proof, or at least arguments to sway us. Otherwise I'm asserting wishful thinking alone.
Personally I'm a big fan of Chris Shelton, and many people here are too. He has a hate page now, so it's clear he's annoying David Miscavige. Andy is a twat, and as CommunicatorIC points out aptly, a dangerous, fanatic fascist twat who should be watched closely. I have no vested reason to defend him or to assume he is CoS or not CoS (neither is a compliment ... for each of the parties ), aside from their past strategy of unequivocally antagonizing and harassing all independent scientologists. Your hypothesis that he is part of a CoS scheme is intriguing (I love to speculate about David Miscavige) but in the light of past events I'll remain sceptical.

A) find or create something of which is or will focus attention off of the B)main OP.
Magicians use this often. Shysters use it often. Hubbard used it often ( oh didn't I say that in the last sentence)
So what are the methods or steps for Psy-ops how do we know them? Can they be delineated then summarized? ... which of those are being used in this claimed OSA psy-op? Does the evidence which cannot be revealed at the moment support or point to such methods? If the 'evidence' doesn't support then maybe it is not really pertinant or valuable evidence?
Hell, I dont know...just discussing some thoughts around the issue.
Thanks for this. I have recently read Erich Fromm's book "The nature of Human Destructiveness" . In the first few chapters a not of huge interest to me but they do lay some good ground for Part 3 where in my opinion the real very informative information lays. The title of that part is
The Varieties of Aggression and Destructiveness and Their Respective Conditions
It contains... this very pertinant information
Malignant Aggression:
Cruelty and Destructiveness 268 Apparent Destructiveness 268 Spontaneous Forms 270 The Historical Record 270 Vengeful Destructiveness 271 Ecstatic Destructiveness 274 The Worship of Destructiveness 276 Kern, von Salomon: A Clinical Case of Destruction Idolatry 276 The Destructive Character: Sadism 280 Examples of Sexual Sadism/Masochism 282 Joseph Stalin: A Clinical Case oj Nonsexual Sadism 285 The Nature oj Sadism 288 Conditions That Generate Sadism 296 Heinrich Himmler: A Clinical Case of Anal-Hoarding Sadism
pages 288-89
Against this, I propose that the core of sadism, common to all its manifestations, is the passion to have absolute and unrestricted control over a living being, whether an animal, a child, a man, or a woman. To force someone to endure pain or humiliation without being able to defend himself is one of the manifestations of absolute control, but it is by no means the only one. The person who has complete control over another living being makes this being into his thing, his property, while he becomes the other being's god. Sometimes the control can even be helpful, and in that case we might speak of a benevolent sadism, such as one finds in instances where one person rules another for the other's own good, and in fact furthers him in many ways, except that he keeps him in bondage. But most sadism is malevolent. Complete control over another human being means crippling him, choking him, thwarting him. Such control can have all forms and all degrees.
... It is the transformation of impotence into the experience of omnipotence; it is the religion of psychical cripples.

Unless you've got married and knocked-up ludicrously early, the money that you earn in your 20s is yours and yours alone.
It's a glorious time. No one has yet persuaded you to join up to the burden of the home loan. There are no small children pulling at your purse strings or heartstrings. Your own parents are still independent.
But then something horrible happens. Not horrible like you are dying.
But hideous in that you have to count every single penny. You plan for when you can pay the monster power bill (and believe me they were big before the carbon tax, so stop whingeing). The money goes before it's meant to and never goes as far as it should.
And then what should happen is that the kids leave home, you still have a job and it's a few more years before you need to start supporting your parents.
The carefree years. The kick-up-your-heels-and-dance-nude-down-the-hallway years. The years when if you want to eat out at the three-hat restaurant you can do it, without feeling guilty about everything the kids need yesterday.
But new figures released by Insolvency and Trustee Service Australia show that the rate of bankruptcy in people over 60 has nearly doubled, from 7 per cent in 2003 to 13 per cent last year. What's worse is the level of personal debt those people had. About half of them had the kind of debt you normally find on credit cards, what banks describe as unsecured debt.
And what did these people owe? More than $50,000 each. Another quarter owe more than $100,000.
Plus, who is not surprised to know that the greater the number of credit cards owned, the greater the debt? I gave up credit cards about six years ago to protect me from my shockingly materialistic inner self. I still have the fantasies but fortunately no way to realise them any more.
Still, it's terrifying. Here we are, when we are meant to be On Golden Pond (recommend this 1981 film with Henry Fonda and the incredibly beautiful Katharine Hepburn); instead we are in deep, deep water.
How did it come to this? Are seniors in hot water when it comes to money and its management?
Ian Yates has been chief executive of the Council on the Ageing (COTA) for more than 20 years. He says there are so many reasons why older Australians struggle, from family break-up to losing jobs.
The carefree years. The kick-up-your-heels-and-dance-nude-down-the-hallway years.
But there is another significant difference in the past decade - more Australians who decide to retire still have a mortgage, a huge financial drain on those whose income is limited.
Yates wishes more older Australians would seek financial advice - but he knows that there is some resistance from retirees when it comes to paying for that kind of information.
''A large number of people don't have any kind of plan about what financial resources they might need and for how long,'' he says. What he really means is we don't make the appropriate calculations to make the money last until we kick the bucket. Sorry to be brutal here - but rather now than when you go bankrupt.
And Yates is tough, too: ''How much capital do you need to live the life you are prepared to live?''
So, that's it really. What compromises are you prepared to make in your retirement? Happy to swap Silo bread for the dollar loaf? Happy to have holidays at home? If you are not, you need probably need to work longer. Eek. And here was I dreaming about retiring at 50 (which is what the generation of women above me certainly did).
And Michael O'Neill, chief executive of National Seniors Australia, has some scarifying news that may be another reason why older people go broke.
If you lose your job when you are 20, on average it takes you another 20 weeks to find new work. If you lose your job at 55, it takes nearly 70 weeks to replace it. Most of us don't have 70 weeks' worth of pay sitting in the bank waiting for an emergency. We run out of money pretty quickly.
It's all well and fine for the federal government to be optimistic about increased participation by older workers - but the state of re-employment for that group is hard work.
Both O'Neill and Yates are desperate for older Australians - all Australians really - to be able to understand how money works. I refuse to use the common expression ''financial literacy'' because I think it mystifies what it is we should know.
What do we have coming in? What do we have going out? How do we know that where we put our money is really safe? Can we trust financial advisers? How can we check on those people to make sure they aren't being paid off by scammers and charlatans? How do we avoid putting all our hard-earned into someone else's corporate collapse? Aiiieeeee.
Yates says we absolutely must exercise caution when we use our money. And take good advice. O'Neill has one more tip. Your kids have always asked you for money. It's a habit they get in to when they are small. But once they are adults with the means to support themselves, you can say no.
Don't be giving it away. Not just yet anyway.

City governments are gearing up for the Aug. 14 primary tests of their voting systems.
Jennifer Wagenius, director of Washington County's Department or Property Records and Taxpayer Services said that voting system tests are required by state law to ensure that everything is in working order on Election Day.
Wagenius said that tests must be run within 14 days of the election.
"We contract out Oakdale and Woodbury," she said, "We did the tests on Tuesday and everything came out great."
Wagenius said voting tests put together sample ballots and compare the results to what was expected, then making sure that the equipment is secure to prevent tampering with results.
The public can observe the tests but do not participate in the actual testing.
Stillwater's machines will be tested at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in the fire training room.

Holidays to Alghero offer the perfect balance of light and shade. Spend your days on ice-white beaches, and your evenings unwinding in Little Barcelona, the atmospheric old quarter.
Sardinian seduction
Alghero, in north-western Sardinia, is one of the island's most seductive towns. It was ruled by the Spanish between 1400 and 1700 and this influence is writ large in the old quarter, called Barcelonetta, or Little Barcelona. The cobbled streets here still have a distinctive Catalan character and, to this day, the locals speak a Catalan dialect. The new town spreads out on the other side of the 16th-century walls, and offers easy access to a royal flush of white, sandy beaches.
A roll call of beaches
Just north of Alghero's marina is the Lido, also known as San Giovanni Beach. It's a 1.5-kilometre ribbon of sand and a great spot for sun-worshippers. For something even more spectacular, just 5 minutes away by car is Maria Pia Beach, a long stretch of ice-white sand fringed by fragrant pine forests. The Mediterranean is warm, crystalline, and child-friendly. Or head to nearby Bombarde Beach, which has a lively line-up of beach bars with DJs spinning the decks.
The old quarter
Barcelonetta is Alghero's well-heeled old quarter and the heartbeat of the town. Spread among its tangle of cool alleyways and grandiose piazzas is a varied choice of trattorias, plus some of the best ice-cream parlours in Sardinia. History buffs can goggle at Alghero Cathedral, built in Catalan Gothic style, and the lavish Palazzo d'Albis. And if you follow the seafront fortifications, you'll arrive at the marina, which is filled with an armada of luxury yachts.
Close to Capo Caccia
A 25-minute drive away is Capo Caccia, whose dramatic limestone cliffs are undercut by natural caves. Neptune's Grotto, containing stalactites and stalagmites dating back 65 million years, is the most visited tourist attraction in the area. But there are underwater caves, too, that divers and snorkelers can access. Nereo's Grotto, with its network of tunnels and archways, is the pick of the lot.

Crystal Stilts Guitarist JB Townsend Talks Album Leaks, Musical Nostalgia + New LP 'Nature Noir'
From '60s-style neo-soul acts to electro-pop combos striving for an '80s aesthetic, much of today's best new music is all about nostalgia. It's a word one might use in reference to Crystal Stilts, who certainly know their rock history, but the Brooklyn band keeps it fresh by drawing from a range of influences, referencing everyone from the Doors to New Order.
Formed by singer Brad Hargett and guitarist JB Townsend in the early 2000s, Crystal Stilts began reaching the masses with their 2008 debut LP, 'Alight the Night,' and they've followed that up with numerous 7-inch singles and EPs, as well as 2011's sophomore full-length 'In Love with Oblivion.' Their consistent output has earned them plenty of praise, and they continue to define their sound and sharpen their sonic tools.
Their upcoming LP 'Nature Noir,' set to be released on Sept. 17, functions as the quintet's most representative work to date. Whereas previous endeavors saw the band testing the waters of experimentation, their third album finds them diving right in. Diffuser.fm recently caught up with Townsend, who discussed his favorite musical decade, his definition of pop and more.
First off, did you know that JB Townsend is also a residential and commercial painting company in San Francisco?
I didn't know that, actually. A paint company? Spelled the same and everything? Well, I guess it's kind of a common name.
Let's get a bit more serious. You've got a new album coming out quite soon, 'Nature Noir.'
Yeah, except our album leaked really badly on the Internet. I didn't know where I stood on leaks until this time when it happened to us. And it happened so early. The album leaked about six weeks before it was to be released, so like a month ago. People are gonna get it for free anyway and if they want it for free there are always other services like Spotify.
Leaks aside, how do you feel about Spotify and other streaming services?
I use Spotify. As far as I'm concerned, it's just another thing. Sure, it's diluting the revenues, but I've been saying this for a while and it's been said in the past. For a time, the record industry got really bloated, but it's too thin now. Back in the '90s it cost maybe 25 cents to make a CD, and yet they were selling them for like $15. I feel like it's a little natural to have that ebb and flow, though. Before, like in the '40s, the record industry wasn't a huge industry at all. Everyone listened, but it was rare that you could make a living off of it. You really couldn't get rich, not until the '60s at least.
It seems like a lot of different decades influence Crystal Stilts. Is there any specific one in particular that you're more drawn to?
I like the '70s, actually. I like some disco and try to find good stuff in all genres. I can't say certain things are deliberate influences, but what I draw from is all in there. I mean, you really can't shake what you've grown up with. I grew up listening to a lot of '60s and '90s music. It kinda gets into your bones. Lately, I've been digging Del Shannon; most of his later '60s stuff. I've been listening to that and a few summer jams.
Your first single off 'Nature Noir,' 'Future Folklore,' has been described as far poppier than your other material. It's almost a departure from the usual Crystal Stilts sound. How would you describe it?
'Future Folklore,' if anything, is in line with those '60s songs. It's like Love meets CCR. I really feel that it's almost like a Creedence song. They were a total pop band in their day, even though they were just a band that played blues songs. People thought of them as a pop band. I think the word pop makes it a funny thing. It can mean so many different things now, from Miley Cyrus to indie music and Top 20 Billboard songs.
Crystal Stilts isn't necessarily a pop band, either. Do you think your songs will be received as CCR's were?
I can't see us deliberately going in that direction. I like groups that create songs on their own terms with songs that weren't supposed to be hits but magically became hits anyway.
The record may have leaked, but Crystal Stilts still have a lot to look forward to with the official release. What's next for the band, and how do you feel about the upcoming release of 'Nature Noir' despite already being out there?
We'll be touring in mid-September, but for now, we're just practicing, doing interviews and figuring out how to get our stuff together. It's starting to get a bit busy We've done a lot of prep for this record, and hopefully, it all manifests according to plan. I'm hoping people like it, no matter what happens. We're trying to put out a new record shortly after touring on this one. We want it out as soon as possible.

Welcome to the Deep River Symphony Orchestra
Celebrating Peter Morris' 25th season as Music Director!
Welcome to the website of the Deep River Symphony Orchestra. We are very excited about our 2016-2017 season, and we hope that you will be too! Our Music Director, Peter Morris, has planned a varied season of five concerts, featuring local and professional Canadian soloists. At our first concert of the season, we welcome back pianist, David Jalbert. In December, we are joined by the Deep River Choral Group for "The Perfect Christmas Concert". Our Baroque matinee features cellists, Brandon Wilke and Thaddeus Morden. Our last soloist of the season is clarinetist, Shauna McDonald who will be performing in April. Please see our Season Brochure for full details of all the concerts and how to subscribe.
The DRSO is a small community orchestra which is entering its 64th year of providing orchestral music to our local community. The mission of the DRSO goes beyond providing entertainment. We believe that we provide an important link with our cultural past; we work at fostering a love for orchestral music in our community and especially in our youth; we provide an opportunity for young players to develop their skills and hopefully inspire them to continue playing with an orchestra in the future; and at our best, we enable the audience to experience the music at a level that transcends the ordinary, and together we are lifted beyond our everyday existence to celebrate the creativity of the human spirit. We hope that we will be able to share our music with you this season.
The DRSO would like to thank all of the individuals who work very hard to ensure that the season is a success. These individuals include our Music Director, board members, players, both amateur and professional, local music teachers who encourage their students to join the orchestra, and parents who support their children's musical accomplishments.

Superfund Site: NIAGARA MOHAWK POWER CORP. (SARATOGA SPRINGS PLANT)
Superfund Site Profile
The Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. (NMPC) (Saratoga Springs Plant) site is located in Saratoga Springs, New York. The site includes a 7-acre parcel (the NMPC Property), the former skating rink property (a 2.3-acre property formerly owned by the City of Saratoga Springs), and portions of Spring Run Creek. The Saratoga Gas Light Company, a predecessor company of Niagara Mohawk, used the NMPC property for coal gas manufacturing. Various other companies then used the property from 1853 until the late 1940s. Byproduct materials containing hazardous substances were disposed of at various locations at the NMPC property. The property's subsurface contains coal tar waste deposits from these operations. Niagara Mohawk operated the site from 1950 to 1999 as a district service center and headquarters for its electric line, natural gas, vehicle and equipment repair, maintenance, storage facilities, and tree trimming crews servicing the Saratoga District. The site's long-term cleanup and monitoring are ongoing.

The three men sent home in the third week includes Hunter whose simple date with Ali unfortunately was cut short by Justin's arrival.
Ali Fedotowski's quest for love on "The Bachelorette" continues with the elimination of three more guys. Steve Kocsis, John Crivello and Hunter Wagner are the ones sent home in the week where one of the guys shed a tear for being nervous.
Ali had her first one on one date with Roberto, the guy who won Ali's first impression rose. They had to cross a tightrope suspended between two 20-story buildings before having a romantic dinner for two. After lots of cuddling and kissing, Ali gave him the first rose of the night.
The group date involved nine guys including Jonathan the weatherman and Justin the entertainment wrestler in crutch. Together with Ali, these men filmed a Barenaked Ladies video. Frank was first up, having himself slapped by Ali in a scene. Jonathan meanwhile was assigned to have a kissing role with Ali. He was so nervous that he cried when the guys laughed at him for having trouble kissing the bachelorette. However, Ali saved the day and planted a big kiss on him.
Frank showed jealousy when Ali and Kirk kissed. Later on, Kirk also earned a rose after an alone time with her.
They had a wrap party in Los Angeles where the kissing scenes were largely discussed. The men grew more competitive in having a one on one time with Ali and stole her here and there. This included the time when Ali had a one on one date with Hunter. Justin walked to Ali's place where the date was taking place and cut short Hunter's time with Ali. The guys confronted Justin back in the mansion.
In the rose ceremony, Chris L., Jesse, Chris N., Ty, Casey, Craig R., Jonathan, and Justin received the nine roses in respective order.
Host Chris Harrison blogged on EW, "I want to briefly talk about Hunter and his one-on-one date. Hunter is one of those good guys that comes on this show and just never really feels comfortable. Sometimes despite your best efforts, this atmosphere just gets the better of you, and that was the case for Hunter. He and Ali just didn't have it, and he was out of his comfort zone."

It'll be a day of song, dance, praise and lots of food. On Saturday, the Greater Ridgecrest Community will hold its annual Juneteenth Celebration and Fish Fry.
And to get the party started, two of the community's standouts, NFL players Dexter McCluster of the Kansas City Chiefs and Marcus Paschal of the Baltimore Ravens, will return.
The all-day event, coordinated by the Friends of Ridgecrest and the Greater Ridgecrest Crime Watch, kicks off at 9 a.m. with a parade. McCluster and Paschal will serve as grand marshals.
Starting at the Greater Ridgecrest YMCA, 1801 119th St. N, the pair will lead some cars, floats and several bands from area churches through the historically African-American community bordered by Taylor Park and the Pinellas Trail.
"Juneteenth is a day African-Americans celebrate freedom as well as recognize our achievements,'' said Wanda McCawthan, one of the event coordinators. "On Saturday, we'll be honoring successes, like the NFL players. We'll also honor the community's high school and college graduates for 2010.''
Juneteenth dates to June 19, 1865, when 2,000 Union soldiers led by Maj. Gen. Gordon Granger landed at Galveston, Texas. Granger brought the news that the Civil War had ended and that the slaves were free. Abraham Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Sept. 22, 1862. First held in Texas in 1867, Juneteenth celebrations spread slowly across the South, where other slaves had learned on widely varying dates that they were free.
After the parade, a fish fry with music and family activities will be held at the YMCA. The swimming pool will be open.
The Friends of Ridgecrest and Greater Ridgecrest Crime Watch have been holding a Juneteenth celebration for about 14 years.
"We need to celebrate Juneteenth because it's part of our past, and it's a guide to help us with our future,'' said Tasker Beale Jr., president of Friends of Ridgecrest. "We look back on what went on in the 1800s, and we can better understand what leads people to do the different things in their life.''
This is only the second year at the YMCA. Before 2009, the Juneteenth celebration was at Ridgecrest Park. The unpredictability of June weather led organizers to move it indoors.
"It's an ideal event for the YMCA because it fits in with our mission of serving the community,'' said Stephanie Zaragoza, executive director of the Ridgecrest YMCA. "And we're excited to host this very important African-American holiday.''

The optimism at Melbourne is palpable. Almost to a man, the players are testifying to it.
Last year's best and fairest winner Bernie Vince is no different.
"I can't wait for this year. I know every team says that at this time of year, but I truly believe that, as a footy club, we are in a position where we can do some damage and beat some good teams," he said.
Given where the Demons have come from – the club won 10 games in three seasons between 2012 to 2014 - such optimism could be cynically dismissed as the unsubstantiated hope of a playing group more excited that things have improved, rather truly believing they are as good, or better, as anywhere else.
Except for the fact that such thinking doesn't really apply to Vince.
The 30-year-old only arrived at Melbourne in 2014, and before then was a star at a club that played finals in three of the six full seasons he was there.
So when Vince says there is now a "huge difference" in training standards at Melbourne, then that background should be taken into account.
You hear that a lot from players, about "training standards". But what does that actually mean?
"It's like playing against another AFL team now, when we train," Vince explained, in an interview at the club's community camp visit to Armadale Primary School on Thursday.
"When we work on our defence, we are training against AFL calibre offence.
"Or when we play offence, we are training against AFL defence.
"In the past, our defence probably looked a little bit better than it really was because our offence wasn't quite as good.
"It's almost like you can tell who wins at training now," he said.
"You've got Simon Goodwin taking the offence and Jade Rawlings taking a lot of the defence stuff. You come off the track now and you can tell which one is not happy.
"Usually one isn't happy, which means obviously the other one is happy. Whereas before, it wasn't really like that.
"We are really testing each other out, now, and it's just making everyone better."
Goodwin is being groomed to take over from Paul Roos as senior coach in 2017, but will transition into a prominent role on game days in 2016 to speed up that progression.
The senior assistant has also been a more central figure during this pre-season, with offence identified as the Demons' key area for improvement this year.
There has been a lot of education around that, and Goodwin has been the teacher.
Vince said he thought the apprenticeship Goodwin served at the club in 2015 had left him perfectly placed to take on more responsibility this season, and then establish a long career as a senior coach beyond that.
"He knows how everything works now - he knows all the players, the system, the media, all the assistant coaches, the administration," Vince said.
"Nothing is new, so he can just hit the ground running.
"He has taken a lot of the meetings and a lot of the training drills, which I guess is the way Roosy did it with John Longmire back in Sydney.
"And that is the good thing. Roosy has done it before, so they don't feel like they are treading on each other's toes."
Vince confesses to being "great mates" with Goodwin, a relationship that began when they played together at the Crows.
Vince said he knew then that Goodwin would be a senior coach, for he was virtually an on-field coach during his last years at Adelaide.
"I learnt a lot off him, he taught me how to train, and I owe a lot of my career to him because he sort of took me under his wing after my first year or two," he said.
"I'm sure we will have our differences at times, which you do with any coach, and we understand that.
"It hasn't happened yet, but I'm guessing when he takes over it will happen at some stage."
Vince himself has enjoyed a solid pre-season, missing only some ball work because of finger surgery.
It has been better than last year, which is significant given the key midfielder was almost All-Australian in 2015.
Vince found a niche in a "running with the stars" role, where he not only helped shut down the opposition's best player; he inflicted plenty of damage himself.
"I'm sure I will get that role again at different stages. But I reckon I could play a little bit across half-forward, half-back - I've been training a lot of that," he said.
There were three games last season where Vince had over 30 disposals and kicked two or more goals – not including another three matches where he had another 35 possessions. And Melbourne won the majority.
So it was put to Vince that maybe opposition teams would consider turning the tables on him, and send a tagger to Melbourne's No.23 this year.
"That would be weird, wouldn't it? Three of us running around chasing each other," Vince joked, referencing a scenario where the Demons planned to send him to the opposition's best midfielder, while the opposition actually planned to tag Vince instead.
Yet the veteran was generally reluctant to talk about his own game, which clearly went to another level last year.
At this stage of his career, all Vince wants is for the team to collectively rise to the level needed to play finals.
"When I first came to the club, the team was coming off two wins," he said.
"In my first year we had four wins, which again was really poor and nowhere near where we want to be.
"Then we had seven wins last year, which we think was an improvement, but still pretty poor.
"We just want to improve again. Whether it's nine, 10, 11 wins, we're not going to put a number on it.
"But if you're a good enough team to start winning those sort of games, all you've got to do is jag one or two more of the close ones and you are knocking on the door of the [top] eight.
"We think anything is possible."

Taking the bench on Jan. 1, 1975, Montgomery Circuit Judge Thomas K. Milligan is the second-longest serving trial judge in the state.
But as this year comes to a close, Judge Milligan is officially hanging up his robe and marking the end of his 36-year judicial career. He is one of 18 trial and appellate judges leaving the bench this year, and one of only two trial judges in the state who are now finding their names attached to a courthouse or legal services building.
County commissioners in October passed a resolution honoring the longtime judge by dedicating the Montgomery County Court Services Building at 307 Binford St. in Crawfordsville in his honor. The historic and newly renovated building that houses the probation department, some classrooms, and the soon-to-be started drug court offices will be named the Thomas K. Milligan Justice Center.
The resolution honoring him says the Waveland native has served county residents "honorably and well, while maintaining the highest standards of fairness and impartiality in the administration of justice for 36 years… (and) has demonstrated through the administration of his Court that he is one of the preeminent trial judges in the State of Indiana." It also points out he's particularly known for "fair and just treatment for children and their families who are most in need or in harm's way, and that he has dutifully followed the Gentleman's Rule of his alma mater, Wabash College."
Admitted to practice in 1967 and first elected in November 1974, Judge Milligan has been on the bench longer than any other sitting judge except for Marion Superior Judge Gerald Zore – who was appointed just before Christmas 1974 and as a result beats out his colleague in Montgomery County by just a week.
Through the years, Judge Milligan has been an advocate for youth and has worked in close contact with the Youth Service Bureau in the training of CASA workers, Teen Court, and with the schools and out-of-school suspension program. He is a member of the Indiana Juvenile Judges Association and has also held leadership officer roles with the Indiana Judges Association and served as past president of the Montgomery County Bar Association.

CynthiaRedLantern's recommendation
I'm always on the lookout for unique and unusual bedding and I love the look of this velvet quilt. It just invites you to snuggle down under it and looks incredibly soft.
nandop's recommendation
The quilt is cool, but the bed is amazing. If you can buy both, better. Anyway, the quilt is one of those old big cool ones that cover a great bed -- except that is a new big cool quilt.

Audubon Society report notes Kah Tai bird diversity
By Charlie Bermant
Peninsula Daily News
PORT TOWNSEND — Kah Tai Lagoon Nature Park is a prime location for observing a variety of birds in a rich natural habitat, according to an Audubon Society report prepared over a two-year period.
"The number of species recorded for this area reflects its diversity of habitats," the report said.
"It is an urban refuge for birds, both resident and migratory."
The report was released in July but had not been widely distributed, according to Rick Jahnke of Port Townsend, who had lobbied against building a proposed aquatic center in the park because he felt it would disrupt the bird habitat.
Jahnke has been presenting the report to elected officials, visiting the Jefferson County commissioners this week after making a similar presentation to port officials and the Port Townsend City Council.
"All these elected bodies had a hand in creating the park, and I wanted to let them know that their efforts have allowed us to move to this level," Jahnke said.
"In a lot of cases, they never get any feedback or credit for their efforts."
The report said that between October 2009 and October 2011, four observers counted 98 different bird species in the 78-acre park that is located along East Sims Way, the busy thoroughfare that is the main access point to downtown Port Townsend.
The traffic doesn't discourage the birds, who can be observed in the wooded area of the park or on the 35 acres of open water situated in its center.
Of the 98 species, 62 were associated with land and 36 with water, and those observed represented 35 of the 47 bird families that are found in and around Puget Sound, the report said.
This compares with a 1978 survey that counted 51 species but singled out Kah Tai as a prime space to observe associated species that could be developed for that purpose.
This was prior to the creation of the park in 1981 as a result of a grant from the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund, creating the park through donation, land transfer, and purchase,
The grant was cosponsored by the city of Port Townsend and the Port of Port Townsend, with the port taking over ownership of the property.
A proposal to build an aquatic center on the edge of the park was abandoned in Oct. 2011 after the National Parks System ruled that the land could not be developed because it was purchased with grant money.
The park is now the subject of a land swap between the city of Port Townsend and the Port of Port Townsend, with the city expected to take over park maintenance once the agreement is completed.
The survey was conducted with a coordinated observation from six different points around the lagoon.
The 52 observations were scheduled at two-week intervals but only one was not successfully completed due to fog.
The completed report lists all of the species, noting the time of year they visited the park and rating each one as common, uncommon or rare.
Ten species were listed as rare in the report.
The report charted species, plotting the number of birds spotted over the two-year period.
"It's of great interest to birders to know when specific birds migrate through the park," Jahnke said.
"This is important information because if you want to see a bird, you know when it will be at the park rather than just go out there by chance."
Jahnke said that birders have a "life list" of birds they want to observe in the wild, and check off each bird as that goal is achieved.
Visits to Kah Tai can help to narrow down that list, he said.
The report is available on line at www.admiraltyaudubon.org/.

The evolving style of the Michigan State football jersey and Michigan State football helmet, from past to present: wide receiver Mark Dell wearing 2010 style, Bob Sherman wearing 1934 1946 style
Michigan State basketball's Kalin Lucas, wearing the 2010 - 2011 style, looking at Goran Suton, who is wearing the 2000 - 2006 style
There is more to the history of the winged helmet than what was previously thought
The Michigan State football team wore white leather winged helmets against Michigan in 1947, and white suspension helmets against Wisconsin and Purdue in 1954. Michigan State football lost all three games wearing the white helmets.
As featured on ESPN.com, SI.com, Rivals, Yahoo Sports and UniWatch Blog, Spartan Jerseys is dedicated to the history of the jerseys worn by the Michigan State football and Michigan State basketball teams.
The documented history of the Michigan State football jersey, Michigan State football helmet and Michigan State basketball jersey is catalogued by style, season and head coach.
The Michigan State football section contains the complete history of the Michigan State football jersey and Michigan State football helmet. Beginning with the winged helmet, worn by Michigan State football players in 1934, and continuing to the present style designed by a two-year branding partnership with Nike.
The Michigan State basketball section contains the history of the Michigan State basketball jersey, beginning with the Reebok Michigan State basketball jerseys worn by Tom Izzo's national championship team, and ending with the Nike Michigan State basketball jerseys, worn by the current Michigan State basketball team.
I hope that this site brings back the memories of the storied tradition of both Michigan State football and Michigan State basketball.
Feedback, questions or comments are welcome! Visit the contact Spartan Jerseys page to get in touch with me.

Queen for a Day!
From 1956 to 1964 there was a very popular TV show called 'Queen for a Day.' The premise of the show was that women who had fallen on hard times could contend to be a 'Queen for a Day' and receive fabulous prizes and gifts.
Fast forward 50 years and we still live in a society where many women are struggling...
The SoupMan says while his name might be on the cover of the books as the author, God's handprint is on every single page. If you don't believe in miracles you just may after reading David's books.
SoupMobile Thrift Store
2,000 years ago Jesus said "Feed My Sheep." Was he thinking of a Thrift Store when he said that? We have no way of knowing for sure, but that's exactly what the SoupMobile is doing. We are going to use our Thrift Store to 'Feed HIS Sheep'...

Puerto de la Cruz
Situated on Tenerife's beautiful northern coast, Puerto de La Cruz is surrounded by rolling hills, banana plantations and dramatic parks the setting for the glorious port could not be more breathtaking. The backdrop of Mount Teide only serves to lend that extra flourish to your holiday photos. The beaches in and around Puerto de la Cruz are typical of the island's more rugged northern coast with rocky coves, and black volcanic sand - great for fun water activities.
There are two stand-out beaches, Playa Martinez and Playa Jardin, both designed by the world famous architect César Manrique, a Canarian. Martinez features waterfalls, caves to swim through and a giant fountain spurting water out to an incredible height and into a huge swimming area. The water is warm, filled via the sea so the level raises and falls with the tide. There are places to buy meals and ice-creams on an island in the middle of another large pool, made to look like a ship. The toddler area has a lovely pool and a large red sculpture to climb on and through, slide down and explore.
One of the major events to see during a holiday to Tenerife is the Carnival de Santa Cruz de Tenerife in February, when the town erupts into colour and noise. The weekend is full on dancing and fun games, like climbing greasy poles to grab flags, until Ash Wednesday and the Burial of the Sardine when everyone takes a breather until the following weekend and the Piñata.
