Trump's New Immigration Executive Order Is An Admission Of Failure
On Monday, President Donald Trump followed up on his promise to issue a new executive order on immigration after a temporary restraining order was upheld on his original order. The new travel ban is similar to the first one, but notably isn't quite as wide-ranging. In replacing the initial travel ban with this new order, Trump is admitting defeat on his first travel ban order, even if it's in an indirect way.
After the three U.S. appeals court judges ruled to uphold the temporary restraining order on the travel ban, Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" However, Trump did not see anyone in court. Instead, he decided to tone down his original order a bit and sign a new one.
In washing down the original ban, Trump and his administration have made some concessions. The new ban does not take effect immediately (it will start on March 16), and notably Iraq is not included in list of countries affected by the ban. Additionally, the new ban includes exceptions for green card holders, dual citizens, visa holders, and pre-approved refugees.
While there's still a lot that the ban does cover, this scaling back is significant because it implies that Trump wasn't confident that he could actually fight back against the resistance to the travel ban. Rather, he decided to go back and offer up a version that he and his team think will be more accepted.
The language of the new order also offers up some insight into the Trump administration's thinking. According to The Huffington Post, the new version does not talk about extreme vetting or rooting out radical Islamic terrorism.
The rollout of the news order was also significant. As Vox reported, Trump did not make the ordeal a flashy photo-op. Instead, he signed it and then sent out Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Attorney General Jeff Sessions, and Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly to announce the new travel ban. And they refused to take any questions from the press regarding the new order.
Regardless of Trump's concessions when revising the order, the ban still does put a block on some immigration and refugee acceptance for several months. That basic principle has not changed. And groups like the ACLU are already speaking out about the danger of the ban. But it is a slight silver lining to know that all of the protests and push back toward the original travel ban made a difference and caused Trump to go back and revise his plans.

Our inevitable obstetrician: Dr. Strangelove
By Michael Moriarty
Rebecca Tuhus-Dubrow describes in the Internet Magazine, Dissent, which I read on October 18th of this year, a rather neo-Feminist distinction which urges that women "make it very clear that the rights for which they have fought are fundamentally different from the right to determine the genetic makeup of offspring." … Or "designer babies", as they are now labeled.
This neo-Feminism was always an inevitability. Full Feminism is not for the faint of heart … and Ms. Tuhus-Dubrow is having an attack of scruples.
The author further states, "whether the latter right" to help create and have designer babies "is legitimate or not, it is not the same as or an extension of the former" … i. e. to have an abortion. In other words, pro-choice is not necessarily pro-eugenics.
Hmmm …
Than she declares, "pro-choice activists have struggled for women's freedom to control their own bodies, not to control the lives and bodies of their children."
Hmmm again …
If abortion is not the ultimate control of children … making them disappear … I hate to think what such an act of control would be. Apparently the author believes eugenics, the "negative" kind, of course, is worse than abortion.
Ms. Tuhus-Dubrow quotes Princeton professor, Lee Silver, on the possible "nightmare," as she calls it: "The GeneRich class and the natural class will become entirely separate species with no ability to crossbreed, and with as much romantic interest in each other as a current human would have for a chimpanzee."
What is the difference between getting rid of the unwanted and disposing of the unfit? The unfit are already out of the womb … and you must watch them die.
The implications of abortion are more than implied in the ending of human life. That Ms. Tuhus-Dubrow believes she can slam on some set of brakes after demanding and receiving legalized abortion is like expecting the pavement to open up and save you when you have leapt from the top of the Twin Towers. Obviously Planned Parenthood and Ms. Tuhus-Dubrow believe pregnancy is a burning tower for at least 1,500,000 American women per year, a condition from which women must leap into an abortionist's operating room. However, the pavement didn't open up on the operating table. A gestating infant was murdered. What has opened up, however, are all the implications of an utterly free and un-harnessed scientific community.
Once you accept legalized abortion, Ms. Tuhus-Dubrow, you have leapt! The "nightmare" Prof. Silver describes is just one of legions rising toward you as you fall, a descent into a death that would be welcome if your unforgettable name, like that of Margaret Sanger, weren't forever tied to a women's movement that has labeled pregnancy an experience akin to being trapped in the World Trade Center on 9/11.
You would be much better off convincing your readers that the name of all unwanted gestating infants is Osama bin Laden. Not even the pro-life movement might protest aborting him.
Man on earth will always have to go to work and women on earth will always be the only sex equipped to bear the children. If you believe, as you seem to, that these terms create hell on earth for women, a towering inferno in which you and all women are trapped, please don't think that tossing your baby out of the window will stop the flames. Your "nightmare," and that of possibly your husband or lover, seemingly solved by abortion, has obviously just begun, because all abortions … are all Dr. Strangelove's and … well … we know where he came from.
Who wouldn't learn to "love the bomb" if Dr. Strangelove became our only obstetrician?

This story may sound like the start of a slippery slope to a schoolkid's sociopathic tendencies, but things aren't always as they seem.
Take Brylan Hobson, here. The young schoolboy from Oklahoma stumbled across a dead squirrel and – waste not, want not – picked it up and put it in his rucksack, planning to take it home later.
Now usually, if your headteacher found a dead rodent in your bag you'd get a bollocking – but not Brylan. The kid got off scot-free as he had planned to take the animal home to cook 'squirrel dumplings' for his tea. Obviously.
When the principal calls to tell you that your son has made her day, so you get excited for the good news… Only to…
Posted by Ladye M Hobson on Wednesday, 21 September 2016
His mum freaked out – as any parent would – when she got a call from the boy's school, Gatewood Elementary, during the day explaining her son had picked up a dead rodent and carried it around with him all day.
Layde Hobson later wrote about the whole fiasco on Her View From Home, saying the principle had 'found the humour' in the bizarre situation.
The schoolboy from Oklahoma City apparently found out about squirrel dumpling soup from his grandpa and wanted to try it out.
It's not my cup of tea, but apparently it's the latest in culinary roadkill, according to YouTube.
Brylan said simply of his unusual tastes: 2I'm country. I'll eat every single meat."

text: I have to give praise to my nurse Tracy, she really does get these patients nice and wet for me whenever I leave the room with an excuse of getting something. Of course, I have to pretend to be surprised when I return, but in reality I had been crouched outside the door listening with my cock in my hand. Tracy's fun was over however and it was my turn now. I asked her to leave us alone as I prepared to get my hands full. My patient did not seem at all embarrassed at being caught, which is always good news, and I began to massage the cream into her huge breasts. I asked her if Tracy had made her horny and when she replied yes, I began to play with her pussy. Good work Tracy, this was my easiest seduction in my office yet. She lay back on my examining table and I slid deep into her tight pussy. She was so wet and tight I thought I might have trouble containing my load. Her massive tits were hypnotic as I thrusted in and out of her, watching them swing like pendulums and I loved squeezing them with my entire hand as I probed her pussy. I needed to see those tits bouncing properly so I got on the floor and got her to ride me in cowgirl, watching as they bounced up and down like excitable puppies. I wanted to fuck her from behind next and she loved it as I bent her over the table and drove my cock inside her from behind. She had been very vocal throughout our treatment session and I was worried we were attracting the wrong sort of attention, so it was time to end this amazing session. She got on her knees and wanked and sucked my cock until my magic medicine shot out all over those amazing breasts. I told her to rub it in and call me Monday. What an amazing pair of tits.October 2, 2014

Scientist: Neil Harrison <email@example.com>
or (505) 665-3200
The de Haas-van Alphen effect occurs in very clean metallic systems, typically in strong magnetic fields exceeding several tesla. These oscillations in the magnetization result from a phenomenon known as ``Landau quantization" whereby the electrons in a metal exist only as a series of orbitally quantized states in a magnetic field. Because the number of occupied Landau levels changes with the magnetic field, on sweeping the magnetic field one observes oscillations in the magnetization which are periodic in an inverse magnetic field.
While de Haas-van Alphen measurements are more often measured in static magnetic field using sensitive ac modulation techniques, the use of pulsed magnetic fields enables one to investigate specific phenomena that might take place in exceptionally strong magnetic fields of order 30 tesla and above. However, because metals that most readily yield de Haas-van Alphen oscillations are usually very good metals, samples need to be made very small in order to avoid the effects of eddy current heating.
The de Haas van Alphen
pulsed magnetic field set-up in Los Alamos has been engineered to accommodate
samples that can fit within a 400 micrometer hole, and measurements can
be conducted in nearly all the magnets. This is the dimension of the inner
bore of a concentrically wound pair of detection coils that are used to
measure the oscillatory induced voltage during a pulse. The small size
together with concentric geometry also helps combat problems associated
with vibrational and/or electrical noise during the pulse. By using 10
micrometer thick insulated copper wire, approximately 500 pick-up coil
windings paked-in within 200 micrometers of the inner bore. By using a
custom built amplifier, we can both compensate-out the background remnant
magnetic field in addition to amplifying the induced voltages by gains
of up to 50,000.

LDWF and Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission Announce Large-Scale Opening to Recreational Fishing
BATON ROUGE (July 14, 2010) - Today Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries Secretary Robert Barham and the Louisiana Wildlife and Fisheries Commission announced significant openings to recreational fishing. With this action, approximately 86 percent of recreational fishing in Louisiana will be open immediately today, July 14.
"The measures taken today by the Wildlife and Fisheries Commission will allow recreational anglers, including recreational shrimping, crabbing and fishing, to resume," said LDWF Secretary Robert Barham. "While I am pleased and fully support today's action, I caution all fishermen to exercise caution while fishing in areas closed to commercial fishing."
This opening includes licensed charter boat guides and bait fishermen or dealers who harvest for and sell to recreational fishermen exclusively. Recreational fishing is being allowed subject to continual testing and monitoring, as this activity is not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. To date the Environmental Protection Agency's near shore water tests have shown chemical contamination levels below public health concern.
"I consider today's action the first step in opening state waters to all fishing, both recreational and commercial," added Barham.
Although recreational fishing will be allowed in portions of the previously closed fishing areas, certain delineated areas, including heavily oiled areas, areas associated with boom and areas of active cleanup continue to be closed to recreational fishing.
See below for maps indicating areas remaining closed to recreational fishing:
All previously issued commercial fishing closures remain in place.

Microsoft hopes to strike a Linux pact with Red Hat, similar to its deals with Novell, Xandros and Linspire.
"We'd love to do the same deal with Red Hat," said Tom Robertson, general manager of corporate interoperability and standards at Microsoft. "We're always open to talking with them."
That sentiment has not so far been echoed by Red Hat's. The company has said it's not interested in a deal. Red Hat spokeswoman Leigh Day said that is still the case.
"We continue to believe that open source and the innovation it represents should not be subject to an unsubstantiated tax that lacks transparency," she said.
Still, some wonder - as Microsoft lines up the other Linux ducks in a neat little row - if Red Hat might be next, and rumours suggest a pact might be imminent. Microsoft's latest Linux deal came last Thursday with Linspire, a deal that would shield the company's customers from Microsoft patent-infringement claims. The deal follows one struck by Microsoft and Linux distributor Xandros, and a high-profile and financially significant deal with Novell last November.
Microsoft has said it is seeking these partnerships for a couple of reasons. The one Robertson is most interested in is interoperability, as he - along with Jean Paoli, general manager, interoperability and XML architecture - is in charge of Microsoft's 18-month company-wide strategy in this area.
Robertson said Microsoft customers have demanded the company address interoperability issues with other companies' software, including open source, and that IP in those products is a concern for them. "If you look across the industry, you see companies working together to address IP on behalf of their customer base," he said.
Microsoft has publicly said that Linux and other open-source software violates 235 of the company's patents. But rather than suing to settle these IP claims, Microsoft is striking individual deals, Robertson said. However, much has been made of the fact that the company has not publicly disclosed any of the patents it claims open-source software is violating.

Close view of portion of frieze between two of the arched doorways in the upper verandah of the Rani Gumpha, Udayagiri 1003417
Photographer: Cornish, William Henry
Medium: Photographic print
Date: 1892
Photograph of the upper verandah of the Rani Gumpha, Udayagiri, taken by William Henry Cornish in c.1892, Archaeological Survey of India Collections. The Jain caves in the twin hills of Khandgiri, or Khandagiri, and Udayagiri, were excavated in the 1st century B.C during the Chedi dynasty of ancient Kalinga (now Orissa). The Rani Gumpha or the Queen's Cave is the largest of the series of caves. It has a double storey, with a spacious courtyard. A frieze of relief carvings fills the spaces in between the arches over the doors of the cells of the upper and lower storeys. This is a view of a section of the frieze representing a forest scene with a group of women confronting some elephants.

Pregnant women need to observe good foot health to prevent pain and discomfort. Since the body undergoes changes and acquires a new weight-bearing stance, women should wear shoes with broad-based heels that provide support and absorb shock. Additional body weight also calls for more support, to prevent foot "breakdown."
The expectant mother often experiences more than ordinary swelling of her feet and ankles, which can aggravate existing foot conditions and promote inflammation or irritation. Pregnancy also triggers the release of hormones that enhance loose ligaments, which can contribute to foot strain. To help overcome these problems, allow time each day to stay off your feet. Elevate the feet and legs when you are sitting to help prevent and reduce swelling. Don't sit for long periods of time. If problems do develop, please contact our office.

British soldiers killed saving comrade as toll from Taleban snipers grows
Two soldiers shot dead in Helmand on Wednesday were on a rescue mission, the Ministry of Defence said yesterday.
The men, one from the Royal Dragoon Guards and the other from 1st Battalion Scots Guards, were killed by gunfire as troops tried to rescue a wounded comrade.
"The soldiers were part of a cordon operation providing security for a routine rotation of troops when they were killed by small arms fire. In the courageous and selfless act of attempting to evacuate an injured colleague, they themselves were shot and fatally wounded," said Lieutenant-Colonel James Carr-Smith, the Helmand task force spokesman also from the Royal Dragoon Guards. "We are all hurting about it," he said.
The routine operation was to replace personnel manning a checkpoint in…

Matador Minute ...
Matador basketball senior standout Katie Holloway will soon be traveling to Egypt to compete with the United States Women's Sitting Volleyball team to compete in several matches against other top world teams at the World Organization for the Disabled Intercontinental Cup ... Holloway has been a member of the United States team the past two years, and is planning to move to Oklahoma at the end of the school year to train fulltime with the USA team at the University of Central Oklahoma ... The Americans are ranked fifth in the world and have qualified for the Paralympics in Beijing, China, Sept. 6-17 ... Beijing will mark the U.S. Sitting Women's Team's second appearance in the Paralympics ... The United States won the bronze medal at the 2004 Paralympics in Athens, Greece ... Holloway recently received a 2008 Giant Step Award by the National Consortium for Academics and Sports (NCAS) ... A four-year letter winner on the women's basketball team, Holloway has been recognized numerous times as a courageous student-athlete ... During her senior season (2007-08), Holloway posted career bests in points (14.5 ppg), rebounds (7.2 rpg) and field goal pct. (.554, #1 in the Big West) ... Holloway (who will graduate this spring with a degree in Sociology), has excelled in the classroom, and has actively participated in numerous CSUN and community activities ... Holloway has been named to the Academic All-Big West team three times, has served as a peer mentor and participated in the NCAA Leadership Council (2007) ... What makes Holloway's story so courageous is the fact she was born without a fibula in her right leg, and when she was 20 months old her right foot and ankle were amputated ... Most people are unaware of the circumstances surrounding Holloway, which is the way she likes it ... Holloway truly represents the meaning of "student-athlete".
Tennis Talk ...

The electric yellow cichlid, Labidochromis caeruleus, is a freshwater perciform fish, a cichlid. It is also known as lemon yellow lab, the blue streak hap, the electric yellow African, and is called the yellow prince in the Philippines. It is endemic to the northern coastal region of Lake Malawi, especially the Lion's Cove and Nkhata Bay areas, in East Africa. It has become a popular commercial fish for aquarium enthusiasts.
Their bodies are strikingly bright yellow, with males having dark black streaks on their dorsal, pelvic, and ventral fins. While specimens kept by aquarists are generally bright yellow with black markings, specimens from different areas of Lake Malawi exhibit different coloring. In fact, their quality is determined mostly on appearance, with brighter yellow, less white, and minimal appearance of the bars along their broad side making a better cichlid. Males and females are sexually monomorphic with most males exhibiting black ventral fins and broader black dorsal stripe, though the best way to sex them would require examining their vents, while behavior can provide reliable hints (females tend to be smaller and less aggressive). In their natural habitat, electric yellow grow to about 9 cm in length, and have been known to reach 15 cm in captivity.
This species is a mouth brooder, meaning the larvae are carried, hatch, and develop in the mother's mouth (buccal cavity), for about three weeks. These fish are ovophiles and the male will excavate a pit in the sand within his territory, in which the female lays the eggs; the female then takes these eggs into her mouth for fertilization.
Electric yellows come from a tropical climate and prefer freshwater with a pH between 7.8 and 8.9 and an ideal temperature range of 23–26 °C (73–78 °F). Spawning may be triggered by a drop in temperature which, in their natural habitat of Lake Malawi, usually indicates an influx of rain.
care in aquariums Edit
Electric yellows are peaceful compared to most other African cichlids. Despite this, like all cichlids from Lake Malawi, they are best kept in specialist cichlid aquariums. As with most cichlids, electric yellows should not be kept with freshwater community aquarium species such as Zebra Danios or Neon Tetras, they may nip the finnage of other species, and are not recommended for freshwater community aquariums because of the differences in the natural habitats between cichlids and other fish species. In an aquarium setting, their natural habitat of rocks and caves should be emulated. Their diet should consist mostly of prepared cichlid pellets or flakes, supplemented with foods like krill, brine shrimp, Spirulina flake, and veggies. A healthy diet and carotene rich foods like krill and spirulina will help your fish, in good lighting, to appear neon-like (hence the name "electric yellow").

I worked a little in each bed today. In bed 1 I tied the cherry tomatoes to the arch.
All four cherry tomatoes have a cluster of flowers.
The spring onions are looking good.
Bed 2: The cucumbers are adapting well in their new home.
While I was giving the cucumbers a once over to make sure I didn't have any pests, I came upon what I think is a wasp. When I was taking the photo I noticed I could see right throught it. Turns out it is just a shell. There is a split down the center of it's back.
The cucumbers were out growing the hoop row covers so I made them a new home. This should give them plenty of room to grow until it's time to take the cover off.
Flowers in bed 2
The bell peppers in bed 3 are doing ok. I have a few runts that have not grown much. I'm sure that will change once it gets warmer.
I planted the spaghetti squash and round zucchini in bed 4.
I also covered the squash and zucchini to give them a fighting chance from the pests.
I fenced off the area were the sugar snap peas are growing. I will plant pole beans in here as well.
Potato bed 2 is looking great.
That's it for today. Tomorrow will be all about making the sun shades and planting a few more corn, bush and pole beans in the greenhouse.

You are always so busy, and your garden shows the love, care and hard work you put into it. I just love reading your blog and seeing your photos...but they make me jealous ;-)ReplyDelete
Thank you Granny for the kind words. I can't wait to see your garden in full works this year.ReplyDelete
Talk about being jealous... I would love to have your garden size. You have a nice big space to garden in. I have to pick and choose what I can do and really limit myself... though it does force me be a little more creative :-)
Liisa, I just made mine 48sf larger by boxing in the paths between four of the beds. It looks a bit odd, as the boards are 2" lower than the 4x4 square beds, but I had to fight Mr. H just to get the 10" boards instead of the 12" that I wanted. I sometimes think he's coming around to this raised bed gardening though...occasionally I see a glimmer of enthusiasm!ReplyDelete
Your beds run toward beauty, while mine run more toward functionality. Hopefully I'll have a bit more beauty this year, if I can find room for all the flowers I've started.
You will be posting photos, right? I think the beds being 2" shorter would give it some visual interest you could play off of. I bet you will make it look great.
Yes beauty is important only because you can see it all from the living room and kitchen... and yes it's in my nature to have beauty around me.
You keep working on Mr. H and in no time he will be taking over the gardening... oh wait what am I saying ;-)

liisa - everything looks great! I see that you have some row covers...where did you get them?ReplyDelete
Thanks EG!ReplyDelete
The row covers you see in the photos I ordered from Territorial Seed Company. I can also get something called Plant and Seed Blanket made by Easy Gardener at my local OSH (Orchard Supply & Hardware) The covers from my local OSH I don't like as much... it more like a plastic than a cotton like material.
It's all been said. Your yard looks great. That cucumber leaf looks HUGE.ReplyDelete
I agree with Granny - your beds are always so tidy and lovely. I can hardly wait to see them in full bloom. Oh and 80°?! How delightful! ::is a little jealous::ReplyDelete
Yes, your garden is very pretty. I really like that little bed that is surrounded by the white wrought iron. Great idea. So shabby chic.ReplyDelete
By the way the little hoop..What type of wire is that under the fabric. The wire looks white and they stand up perfectly straight. I need to do something like that. Where did you get it or what did you make it out of? I believe its the 6th picture down. Thank you
Cheryl and Jenn,ReplyDelete
Thank you. I can hardly wait to see everything in full bloom!
Thanks so much. I really like the way the little wrought iron bed turned out too. It will look really nice with the pole beans in there too.
For more info on the hoop covers... I just wrote a post about it. Hope it gives you some ideas.

|Release date : 13 September 2013
|123telugu.com Rating : 2.25/5
|Director : Lakshmikant Chenna
|Producer : Siddharth Arimanda
|Music Director : Agastya
|Starring : Sai Kumar, Roja..
The movie Johnny Gaddar released in 2007 to good critical acclaim in Bollywood. Lakshmikanth Chenna has now decided to remake this film in Telugu as 'Kameena'. Varaprasad Reddy is the producer. The film is releasing today across the state, so let us see how it is.
Story :
Dharma ( Sai Kumar), Siva ( Subbaraju), Teja (Ashish Vidyardhi), Kailash (Brahmaji) and Siddhu (Krish) are business partners and close friends. They trade in illegal blackmarket stuff. One fine day, inspector Kalyan (Ravi Babu) offers them a lucrative deal, which can make them very rich. To fulfill the deal, they need to raise 5 Crores.
They entrust the cash to Shiva and task him with the delivery. But this is where jealousy rears its ugly head. Siddhu decides to steal the 5 Crores from Shiva and almost succeeds in the process. But things go horribly wrong in the process. People start getting killed.
Members of the group start suspecting each other and Kalyan comes into the picture, to find out the culprit. What happens in the end?? Who is the main villain? Will Kalyan find out the culprit? That forms the rest of the story.
Plus Points :
There a number of talented actors in the film like Sai Kumar, Brahmaji, Ashish Vidyardhi and Roja. They have done a good job and they have tried their best to liven up the proceedings.
For about 20 minutes before the interval, the film picks up good pace and engages the viewers. But that is about it.
Minus Points :
The movie is a poor remake of the Bollywood film. While the basic plot has been taken from Johnny Gadar, the execution is pretty bad.
Krish needs to improve a lot as an actor if he is serious about an acting career. The actress who essayed the role of Twinkle is really bad.
Except for about 20 minutes before the interval, the film's pace is very slow. Scenes are unnecessarily prolonged. The movie also becomes extremely predictable in the second half.
None of the songs help the film. The item song that comes just before the climax is extremely irritating.
Entertainment quotient in the film is almost zero. Irrespective of A, B and C centers, all sections of viewers will find it quite boring.
Technical Aspects:
Cinematography is just about average. Editing is quite poor and a lot of unnecessary scenes are present in the film. Dialogues are poor. Music and background score are quite poor.
Lakshmikanth Chenna's direction leaves a lot to be desired. He fails to make a positive impact. Production values are very mediocre.
Verdict :
'Kameena' is a poor remake of a critically acclaimed Bollywood film. Except for the presence of a few seasoned actors, there is nothing in this movie for viewers. You can safely skip this film

Calls to Customer Services
West Lancashire Borough Council has welcomed the overwhelming response from residents to order their wheeled bin requirements before 4 June.
In a bid to reach its recycling target of 50% by 2020, the Council has made a number of changes to the bins residents need for their recycling. Brown bins are being introduced only to those residents that sign up to the garden waste service, green bins will be used for paper and cardboard recycling and blue bins will be used for plastic bottles, glass and cans recycling. While Council staff are working hard to deal with telephone enquiries the quickest and easiest way for residents to find out more about the changes to the recycling services, order a new wheeled bin and sign up to the Council's garden waste collection service is to go to the website www.westlancs.gov.uk/refuse and follow the relevant links.
You can also access a host of other Council services through the website www.westlancs.gov.uk.
Councillor Ian Moran, Leader of West Lancashire Borough Council, said: "It has been an extremely busy time with the Council's Customers Services team receiving an unprecedented number of calls regarding changes to the refuse and recycling service. We acknowledge it has been frustrating for some residents trying to get through to the Council and I would like to apologise for this. We are now making good progress processing all the requests for new bins."
The Council would like to reassure residents that when they place their order online for a replacement or new wheeled bin or subscribe to the garden waste service that their request is being processed and there is no need to contact the authority to confirm this. Delivery of wheeled bins is taking place daily, including Saturdays in the lead up to the 4 June launch.

A big reason why thousands of people visit the Kenyan Coast each year is the beautiful beaches that stretch for miles along the North and South Coasts. In addition to being a haven for those who are looking for a quiet, relaxing vacation, water sports and fishing enthusiasts can also get their money's worth. But Mombasa has a lot more to offer visitors than just beaches. Remnants of historical and cultural attractions from centuries ago still remain. Other attractions showcase the diversity of flora and fauna in the region, and nature parks are an appealing destination for many visitors. As well, there are opportunities to experience the different facets of the Kenyan culture – within the city, in some of the surrounding towns, and even in remote villages. Fort Jesus is Mombasa's most popular tourist attraction. The fort, located along the coastline near the Old Town, is a monumental piece of architecture that was built in the 16th century by the Portuguese. The fort has a museum that displays various artifacts from the era where Mombasa served as a transit point for the slave trade and commodities, and which enjoyed regular visits by seafarers and the like. Its interior comprises of torture rooms and prison cells where slaves were kept in captivity before being traded. Weapons such as canons, which were used to defend the fort from invading foreigners as well as rioting locals, can be seen both inside and outside the fort. The fort opens its gates for viewing in the morning and closes at dusk. Old Town" is the part of Mombasa that is reminiscent of the days when the Arabs exerted a heavy influence on the town and its culture, and especially in the architecture and language (Swahili has a lot of phrases derived from various Arabic dialects). It is well known for its ancient buildings, extravagant art designs and curio shops that sell antique and popular Kenyan souvenirs. Old Town is best seen when explored by foot with an experienced guide.
The coast offers the widest variety of activities and attractions, both recreational and educational. You can go for a boat ride along the coast or bask in the white sandy beaches and swim in the salty waters of the Indian Ocean. For the adventurous people, the long coast is perfect for surfing, riding speed boats, yacht's, jet skis and even going for a romantic cruise in a ship.
You can visit historical sites such as Fort Jesus, the old colonial town of Lamu, ancient Hindu temples and The Mama Ngina drive which was a cemetery for the Portuguese where each grave was marked by a Baobab tree. The coastal villages are the best places to learn the cultures and traditions of the coastal people as well as drink the traditional coastal brew 'Mnazi'
The Bamburi Nature Trail is a popular destination in the coast which sensitizes on the importance of conservation of nature. It is a rehabilitated quarry which is now a natural habitat for wildlife.
A visit to the coast would not be complete without a collection of souvenirs such as carvings, fabric, shells, ornaments and even spices. The old town of Mombasa has some of the best spices from the coast and all the way from Zanzibar which is famous for spices from the colonial days.

Hello, i have a really simple powershell WF
Workflow Gather-SecurityLogs { parallel { sequence { InlineScript { cmd /k 'wevtutil epl security /q:"*[System[TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) < = 7862400000]]]" c:\%computername%.evtx /ow:true' } Copy-Item c:\output.evtx \\dc\share\$pscomputername.evtx } } }
which errors out with permission denied. I tried with domain admin acc, powershell started from admin, tried granting everyone all access to share (including security permissions)... no good. Any ideas?
Copy-Item works outside powershell wf, what am i missing?

Workflows aren't scripts in the usual sense. Workflows get translated to XAML, and then passed off to Windows Workflow Foundation to execute. So regardless of how you opened PowerShell, the code is actually being executed, usually, by SYSTEM, which doesn't have the ability to access network resources. "Everyone" on the share permissions (and you'd also need to look at the underlying NTFS file permissions) doesn't include non-authenticated (Anonymous) users, which is probably what's happening.
Try adding the -PSCredential common parameter when you run Gather-SecurityLogs. That should let you specify a credential for the workflow to run under.
Oh, and Gather isn't a good verb. See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms714428(v=vs.85).aspx for the list of approved verbs. I suspect you want to use Get. Maybe Join. 🙂
December 3, 2015 at 7:47 am #32556ParticipantTopics: 10Replies: 28Points: 0Rank: Member
In case or -credential, i suppose i need to construct variable before hand, right? let me see
Workflow Gather-SecurityLogs { $user = 'xxxxx' $PlainPassword = 'xxxxx' $SecurePassword = $PlainPassword | ConvertTo-SecureString -AsPlainText -Force $cred = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential -ArgumentList $User, $SecurePassword parallel { sequence { InlineScript { cmd /k 'wevtutil epl security /q:"*[System[TimeCreated[timediff(@SystemTime) < = 7862400000]]]" c:\%computername%.evtx /ow:true' New-PSDrive -Name X -PSProvider FileSystem -Root "\\msk-dc-02\C$" -Credential $using:cred Copy-Item c:\$pscomputername.evtx X:\$pscomputername.evtx Remove-PSDrive -Name X } } } }
works like this
ps. that for the verb info, didn't think about it when doing this 😉
pps. is there any easy way to secure password string?
ppps. how to mark an answer?

State and local law enforcement agencies, in conjunction with local agencies and nonprofits, work hard to curtail drunk driving in Massachusetts. Though these efforts certainly make a difference, for the foreseeable future, intoxicated drivers will continue to climb behind the wheel and take to the streets, putting other motorists and pedestrians at extreme risk of harm. As one recent car crash in nearby Winthrop highlights, these accidents can be devastating for a victim.
What is whiplash and how can it be harmful?
It is no surprise to hear that the severity of a car crash can run the gamut. No one may be injured in minor fender-benders and bumper-busters, while other moderate accidents can result in bumps, bruises, and broken bones. Yet others can be more severe, leaving victims permanently disabled or dead. Those who suffer injuries in a car wreck, no matter the extent, can be subjected to physical, emotional, and financial losses.
Woman suffers serious injuries in pedestrian accident
Massachusetts residents should be able to go about their everyday lives without fear of harm. Unfortunately, as most of us are probably aware, this is not reality. Instead, people find themselves at risk of being harmed at some of their most vulnerable times. Walking, for instance, should be a relatively safe activity. Yet, when crossing a road, it only takes the blink of an eye for an errant driver to turn that routine walk into a living nightmare.
Can I sue a bar if I am hit by a drunk driver?
Under what are known as dram shop laws, an individual who is injured in an accident caused by a drunk driver may be able to hold an alcohol vender liable. However, doing so can be quite difficult, as it is often hard to prove that the vendor had certain knowledge. For example, did the vendor know the individual was intoxicated before serving him or her? These types of questions can be complex, and acquiring the evidence to support an answer can be pivotal in a civil lawsuit.
The types of damages a car accident victim can recover
Massachusetts residents who have been hurt in a car accident know that it can drastically change their lives. They may be left physically disabled, unable to work and emotionally traumatized. They might also incur significant financial losses by losing wages and racking up medical bills. Once a crash victim has the time to focus on his or her legal case he or she might wonder for what damages he or she can recover compensation. Hopefully this article will help shed light on the matter.
How does comparative negligence affect Massachusetts' victims?
Unfortunately, many Massachusetts residents will find themselves in a car accident at some point in their lives. When this happens, their first reaction must be to determine if they, their passengers, and other parties are OK. After that, they might wonder who was at fault. Determining fault is an important step in the quest to recover compensation for one's damages. Yet, there may be some confusion as to how fault is calculated and how it affects a victim's chances of recovery.
Massachusetts runner killed in tragic car accident
Nowadays many Massachusetts take to the outdoors to enjoy the sun, warmth, and scents of spring. Though several of these individuals run, walk, or ride a bike on or near the roadways motorists owe them a duty of care to keep them safe from harm. This not only means refraining from acting negligently in ways such as speeding, driving while intoxicated, or driving while texting, but also taking certain actions, like yielding the right of way, that ensure pedestrian safety.
Young girl killed in Massachusetts car accident
Accidents happen all the time on Massachusetts' roads. Sometimes these wrecks are unavoidable, such as when there is ice on the road. In a vast number of crashes, though, one of the drivers involved in the accident is to blame. Drivers may be inattentive, drunk, or tired behind the wheel, which puts everyone on the road around them in danger. A car accident caused by a negligent driver can take unsuspecting motorists by surprised and can leave several with injuries and families mourning lost lives.
Massachusetts man hit by retired cop, suffers serious injuries
With the arrival of spring, many Massachusetts residents may find themselves outside more often. Unfortunately, whether one is riding a bike, waking, or jogging, he or she may unknowingly be at risk of being hit by a motor vehicle. Sadly, too many of Massachusetts' drivers are negligent behind the wheel, and when these individuals cause a pedestrian-car accident, the injuries can be severe.
Four hurt when drunk Massachusetts mother causes crash
Unfortunately, drunk drivers can be on Massachusetts' roads at any time. These drivers can also be anybody. Mothers, workers and teens can all be drunk behind the wheel, posing serious hazards to other motorists. With the existence of these factors comes the sad reality that motorists often cannot tell who is driving intoxicated until it is too late and a car accident has occurred. When this happens, accident victims should take the steps necessary to recover their damages and to hold the negligent drivers who harmed them accountable.

Poll results in GOP primary for Governor
By Lowell Reese
Kentucky Roll Call
Jan. 29, 2015
Remington Research Group, a Kansas City, Missouri political polling firm, released this morning the results of a poll it conducted January 27-28 of the candidates for governor in the Kentucky in the GOP primary election. Remington is a rather new polling firm. It has been in the field in two election cycles, about a year and half. It does national polling in Republican races, and is not affiliated with any candidate, Titus Bond of the firm told us.
Here are the results of Remington's survey of 1066 registered Republicans who are "likely" to vote in the May 19 GOP primary. The margin of error is ± 2.98%.
Q: The candidates in the Republican primary election for Governor are James Comer, Matt Bevin, Hal Heiner and Will T. Scott. If the election were held today, for whom would you vote?
James Comer 22%
Matt Bevin 19%
Hal Heiner 18%
Will T. Scott 5%
Undecided 35%
Q: What is your opinion of James Comer?
Favorable 31%
Unfavorable 9%
No opinion 60%
Q: What is your opinion of Matt Bevin?
Favorable 30%
Unfavorable 17%
No opinion 52%
Q: What is your opinion of Hal Heiner?
Favorable 33%
Unfavorable 10%
No opinion 58%
Q: What is your opinion of Will T. Scott?
Favorable 12%
Unfavorable 11%
No opinion 77%
The poll was conducted by automated phone calls. The calls began at 7:00 pm Tuesday, after the filing deadline, and continued Wednesday afternoon and evening. Respondents were screened to determine their likelihood to vote in the primary and 35 percent were rejected on that basis.
A combination of the favorable and unfavorable numbers is an approximation of the candidate's name ID.

From Tahrir and Rio to Taksim, we can smell the tear gas | ROAR Magazine
"From Taksim to Tahrir, from Bulgaria to Brazil, we fight the same struggle against oppressive state structures that benefit only a tiny wealthy elite."
"The two biggest popular forums in Istanbul are Beşiktaş and Kadıköy. They host thousands of people every day. The former is a point of reference for the European side of the city, the latter for the Asian side. Both are apparently very distinct in nature, like all the districts of Istanbul. Beşiktaş is left wing with a tendency towards anarchism. Kadıköy is mixed, leaning towards nationalism. Other districts, like Üsküdar are more islamist."

Being quite the Caligula with the ladies, I feel it prudent to offer my own dating advice for those who are not blessed with my own skills in wooing the opposite sex. So below is my guide, furnished from literally years of experience and lawsuits.
1 – Ask her out
There are many ways to attract girls. In nature, animals try to attract the opposite sex with massive displays. Some monkeys have bright red behinds to woo their desired mate. So try to strip off and run bum-first at your love, screaming wildly.
Women are psychic. If you mope about all day never talking to them, and moan on internet chat rooms that they'll never ask you out, then they are sure to appear at your house and sweep you off your feet (if you're inclined that way). They also LOVE pity. So every time you meet a girl, start to scream that you're single and that nobody loves you, before breaking down in tears. If this doesn't work, grab them and kiss them so they know what they're missing out on. Don't be afraid of lawsuits at this stage – thank god for that 'dressing provocatively' rule!
If that fails, forge a letter from a magazine, telling them that they have won a competition to see their favourite band, and that they should meet them in an abandoned warehouse. Also tell her to bring no weapons. For this to work, first plan out in advance the route the local policemen take.
2 – What to wear
So you've ensnared your potential date. Now you need something to wear.
The goth look is good. Perhaps dress all in black with a black top, black trousers, black shoes and a black balaclava. Some fangs can finish off this picture well, especially if you put blood on them (it can be fake, cows blood is quite easy to obtain. If you're in the country.)
Perhaps you could keep up with current pop culture trends. Terrorism seems to be the in 'thing' nowadays, so try meeting your date with a tea-towel over your head. It's sure to be a conversation piece. Plus if you have a picnic, instant mat!
Trenchcoats are also in, plus they also have room in them to conceal a gun in case she says no.
You could also try on a short skirt. Women dig that kind of thing. Oh, and cat ears on a hairband. Miaow
If you don't feel like any of these, just try the traditional fallback of dressing as a pirate. Aaar.
3 – What to take
Mmmm, the date could go either way. So take some 'protection' (heh heh heh) if it goes right, and also some protection (the gun in the trenchcoat) if it goes badly. Or you mistakenly have asked out a twenty-stone transsexual biker. Or President Bush.
Masking tape is a great thing to take, along with matches. A paper bag to put over your own head if you forgot to shave is also a must.
A good book to read is useful if she is boring. Just start to read the book, and when she tries to speak, just shout "BORING". Why can't all women be like Lt Uhura from Star Trek?
4 – Where to go
Some girls like the cinema. Avoid these, that's expensive. Watching hobos is a thrilling activity more exciting than any movie – because the hobos could get violent. Setting their coats on fire together is a romantic activity – see those whisky-drenched coats light up like an uber-cheap firework display.
Perhaps you could arrange to meet at the library. Because there are plenty of heavy, blunt books which could 'fall' on her head, rendering her unresistant to your moves. If your moves include dragging her into the men's toilets.
Star Trek conventions are WONDERFUL places to go to! A matching pair of Spock ears is a must! (Or a Kirk mask if you're not too good-looking). Whilst there, you could introduce her to THAT GUY… from Dune… Patrick Stewart. Then perhaps later on, she'll want to meet your Patrick Stewart.
5 – What to do
You've seen Patrick Stewart, you've burnt the tramps, what next. Talk about stuff! Girls aren't like normal people, they like to talk about crap. Here are some subjects with which to trick them:
Kittens. All girls like kittens. Perhaps you can bring a kitten – yay for roadkill
Star Trek – Chicks dig Warp Drives and technical specs.
About all your roleplay game campaigns. Perhaps take along your scoresheets to show her. Tell her how you play a randy half-orc, and personally killed the Devil Priest Hraargoth
She might want to talk about ways to get herself home. Try to divert the conversation away from this via talk of knives
You might also want to ply her with cheap alcohol. I find that girls are far easier when a bottle of vodka is added to them.
6 - End of the night
The date is over. If she hasn't attempted to run away (and shame on you for not hamstringing her at the first opportunity) you have to say goodbye. Unless she's really easy (then HURRAH).
Here are some lines you could use to entice her to go home with you
"There's wolves out there"
"Don't worry, I have protection. Hur hur hur"
"Did you hear about the last girl who said no to me. They didn't find her body for a week"
"Want to roleplay being a half Elf mage with ranger proficiencies? Please? I… I'm so alone"
"I know where there are more hobos"
If that fails, always have a fast car ready in reserve. And an alibi. So thanks for reading my guide. If it only helps you half as much as it helped me, then you'll only get half the sentence! That's all from me, I'm off on a date with a beautiful barely legal teen who I met over the internet! I'm so excited – we're going to meet in an old run-down cellar. How romantic!
Your friend (and mine),
The Mysterious Mr Turtlewind

text: I was thinking along the lines of, if we got enough people involved, randomly pairing up drivers over a longer race, and the combined placings decided a team event, not individual placings. P1 = 1 point P2 = 2 points P3 = 3 points etc. The team with the lowest aggregate score wins the night, and drawn aggregate scores use the best position within the drawn teams as a tie break. Example: I got paired with Coucher, you got paired with Warren (all done randomly). Croucher wins the race, you come in 2nd, Warren 3rd and me 5th. Your team wins because of the lowest aggregate points (5 vs 6). If, however, I came 4th, my team would win because we had a tied aggregate, but my team's best finishing position was better than your team's. (5 v 5 overall, but my team had P1 in the tie breaker) It's only if the scores are tied that "who individually came where" comes into play. I was thinking about this because if you are racing as much for someone else as for yourself, people won't quit quite so easily as, in my example, I would be letting Croucher down if I quit out. This would probably work a bit better on a longer race format (1 or 2 race night) and initially on familiar courses too. I'm still refining it, but if the interest is there, I'll think about a test run one night. The problem would be getting enough people signed up early enough to make it feasible with the admin. There are still too many people who don't bother to sign up ahead of the day of the event, which would cause this to not be worth my time and effort, but if enough people come out ahead of time and are willing to commit to it early enough, why not?

Posted by Linda on Sep 23, 2011 in General, Positive Thinking, Self Help, Self Love, Spirituality
It's weird how it works. What is trust really? We can understand the definition of trust but do we really get it? It's never the easiest thing to trust that what I want and what I allow Spirit to handle for me, will be so. I preach it all day long in my life, relationships and coaching. I convince myself that I believe it, but that little voice inside my head just keeps bringing up all my deeply ingrained beliefs about "how it REALLY" is. Just like that my trust goes out the window! Like the idea that you can't just sit on a couch and expect things to show up OR nothing really good comes easy. Sound familiar?
Don't get me wrong. I certainly have experienced the amazing transformation that can come from completely surrendering, letting go and allowing myself to trust. My most profound shifts have come from doing so. I think what happens though, is that the more I "live" my life with true connection, that when I go to peel back the continued layers of conditioning (which will be never ending), that it requires me to trust at even deeper levels than before. It's like I'm always going to have to CHOOSE this for myself. Choosing is, after all, the equivalent of being conscious and the only way to truly trust. Just because I'm a coach and I speak this language all day long every day, doesn't let me off the hook.
I have recently had to shut myself up for a while (and I don't mean for daily one hour meditations). I have retracted from FaceBook, Blogging, Coaching and the whole environment of "talking" about Spiritual Self Love to check in with myself on how deeply I'm actually vibrating these concepts. Turns out, in the efforts of "working towards" my desires and dreams, well….that's all I have ended up doing…. is working.
what is trust
definition of trust
I'm coming to an even deeper realization that I'm IN the dream of what I want RIGHT NOW! Understanding that I just have to bask in the reality of it and KNOW that it's just so perfect…. so perfectly in order! Last week I caught myself "not believing fully" after practicing, what I believe to be (or so I thought), the absolute way to create my life the way I want it. Let me describe to you this practice: I first accepted and acknowledge that there is probably some unknown shadow beliefs that linger within me, that could be stopping the flow of what I most want. I then accepted these beliefs with love and then lovingly accepted letting them go and as I released them and I said "and SO IT IS". Then I stated what I wanted and gave thanks that it was available, on it's way to me at that very moment and it would show up upon my acceptance and belief that it would, and then said "and SO IT IS".
Ahhhh, how wonderful to just know that it was done! That's it, no fuss, no muss, just that simple. I really felt it deeply…. at least for a minute or two that is. I confidently got up went straight to my computer and immediately started doing my part to make all that I had just asked for, happen. Well, to make a long story short (oh wait – it's too late for that! LOL) I sat down to write a blog, did it in a program that wasn't very stable and even though I knew it was a bad idea, I convinced myself it would be fine. Then…Poof….it was gone. One hour of time spent, my blog somehow didn't save and I didn't have a copy. So I got up, instantly knew it was the Universe/Spirit saying to me "Do you trust me or not???!!! You just told me what you wanted and then you immediately start doing what you "think" you need to do to have it happen".
So, I decided to call my friend, we had lunch and I chose to spend two hours with her while she ran her errands. I told her that it would be the most productive two hours of my day because I was going to let the "Professional" handle my life for me. She laughed but I was serious. That day was such a great day for me because there was a clear message that it's okay to trust. You're not an idiot if you trust. When I returned home I had a couple of emails in my box that had some incredible opportunities that were in complete alignment with what I had asked for.
I learned that the trust has to come first and that cooperation with what that trust can bring forth, is all that is necessary. Still a little perplexed, although excited, I still needed SOMETHING, ANYTHING to tell me or explain to me how much action is actually needed. There still was the part of me that felt a little uncomfortable with all of this. So I put it out there once again to Spirit, I know the answer I need is on it's way, and SO IT IS!
Low and behold, the very next day as I was finding a video link off of YouTube that I was going to share with someone, I accidentally came across another video by Esther Hicks with a message from Abraham that was exactly what I needed to hear. I'll share the video now. This is where I will start to end this blog because the message in this video was so clarifying for me that I wanted to share with you in hopes that if this is something that you question as well, that you feel a bit more at peace.
I believe we all struggle to trust when our outer world can seem so unstable and scary at times. This is when we need to trust the most though. When I "remember who I really am" and know that I am not separate from Source/Spirit/God and that I have the same ability to create as that magnificent and beautiful Energy we call Source/Spirit/God, I know peace in that moment. That is my deepest hope for you as well. Know your Divine power and beauty and live in peace and TRUST my dear friend!

Seeking Online Help at A Reputable Service
As far as any company that wants to grow and basically any business should be concerned, the loyalty of customers is of the highest value, and therefore should be the top priority. It is the most rewarding thing in terms of orders coming in on a regular basis. Many trustworthy writing services are found through recommendations of those who were satisfied with the quality of their work, to become reliable helpers of their friends and their friends' friends throughout the years of having to cope with challenging academic written assignments. We take pride in being recommended to others, and this is probably the best way of starting to introduce ourselves.
There are different reasons why people choose to seek online help instead of battling a horde of written assignments on their own, but lack of time is the most common one. As the modern world gets too busy, making you manage a multitude of tasks over a limited period of time, it makes sense to delegate some of these to other people whenever possible to avoid the devastating consequences of overworking and overstressing yourself. With any difficulties related to written assignments, delegating these to more experienced writers is often a reasonable solution. However, experimenting with different writing services that simply offer cheap papers or attractively low prices can be a slippery slope and even a downhill for your career or academic reputation. These often don't even come close to the level of originality required by academic institutions, while being accused of plagiarism can get you into serious trouble.
That is why the best we can recommend to avoid disappointing results is choosing a custom writing service that provides a guarantee of its works being unique, plagiarism-free, and we also recommend starting to look for one long before you find yourself in an urgent need of it. Decisions made in a rush rarely turn out to be good, and they don't help you to save money, either, even if you believe they were made for exactly that purpose. Don't lose your focus, especially due to being too emotional. Take your time and choose carefully. Start with a small order such as an essay that has little influence on your grade in a certain class, to see if you like the result. This way, in case you have to place a bigger one, like a term paper, or multiple orders, you already know which service you can rely on. This seems very simple, but it can save you a lot of headache.
Being good at writing, or at least getting fairly comfortable with it comes from experience, so it is worth trying to work on building that experience. But sometimes there's simply not enough time for sufficient research on your own, or the general information on how your paper should be structured seems totally foreign language until you see a specific example of what it looks like. So you can benefit and even learn from the experience of professional writers that correctly format your paper when you order it online using a custom writing service such as custom-papers.co.uk. Or perhaps we should start calling ourselves a stress-reducing service? Probably so. Why don't you give us a try, even if you are not in an urgent need of it? One day it can save you lots of desperate searching and panicking over the uncertainty of the result you might get.

I've been following the flap about Michael Winterbottom's version of Jim Thompson's The Killer Inside Me without wanting to see the film. I have the book and that's enough, as I hope to be making clear.
As is well known, the controversy centres on a full frontal, lovingly filmed scene where the antihero beats his girlfriend to death, something which she is apparently keen to have happen. That's certainly accurate in regard to the book: it's a pretty good capsule view of the overall theme of all Thompson's work, in fact. It's not that he hated women any more than he hated men. It's just that in his world everyone is complicit and everyone is doomed, often to spectacularly brutal and ugly deaths portrayed in considerable detail.
Winterbottom is the first to film Thompson straight. The film version of The Grifters soft pedalled heavily on the incest motif running through the book. Both versions of The Getaway cut out the ending, where the hero and heroine are forced into the realisation that they will soon be forced to eat each other – literally eat each other.
Interviewed here, Winterbottom seems to be making out that the scene was a kind of commentary on the character's mental illness. This misses the point. If you read a lot of Thompson's work you soon come to realize that it's the author himself who was stone crazy. A taut stylist. An ace plotter. A fellow with real insight into low life, much of it from personal experience. All of that, and completely fucking bananas to go with it. This is an excerpt from King Blood, Thompson's last published novel:
" 'Wish I had me a nickel for every puss I cut off," he went on, carefully reinscribing the circle with his knife. "An ol' Indian trick, y'know, an' us Kings are probably more Indian than white. Funny thing is the woman don't hardly feel it - you don't feel nothin' do you?- till a long time afterward. That's maybe because it's mostly muscle, you know, an' stretchy: got more give to it than a mile o' cat gut. Why I seen a fella stretch a gal's puss clean over her head, an' then let it snap shut around her neck. Man, oh, man, what a sight to see!" His body shook with laughter. "That gal was flingin' herself around like a chicken with its head off: strangled to death by her own tokus.' "
At least Winterbottom never got hold of that. It was written towards the end of Thompson's life, when he was immured in late period alcoholism and undergoing a more or less constant progression of cerebral seizures. Eventually, he decided to starve himself to death, and went ahead and did just that. Thus he avoided the fate of his grandfather, father, and son, who all died in psychiatric institutions.
But horrible things come shambling out in all his work. The hero of Savage Night – a terminally tubercular degenerate assassin – encounters a man who tells him a long, involved and plot-bending account of a farm he happens to own, a vagina farm, where he raises acres of vaginas. This is in the middle of an otherwise fairly conventional fifties noir thriller. And this character's name is "Jim Thompson."
Perhaps it should be noted that Thompson's wife Alberta, speaking after his death and so under no compulsion, apparently described him as a marvelous man. She added that he worked constantly at various jobs and always tried to do the banal husband and provider thing. He also drank incessantly and wrote compulsively. So he just kept that one step ahead of whatever it was that pursued him. But he felt its breath on his neck, and so do you when you read him.
The thing about Thompson, I think, was that he wrote thrillers so he didn't have to write his autobiography, which may well have resembled this man's in a lot of ways. He wrote inexcusable things as an alternative to doing them and apparently succeeded. You can cut out the craziness from Thompson's work and produce workmanlike thrillers. I'm not sure you can strip out the craziness and put it on screen in the bog standard art house movie way. I think you need some kind of insight into what compulsions the man himself might have been operating under and what he thought he was doing when he was writing those things.

John (as he posts on JABS) really is a very special kind of lunatic, as demonstrated by this - a post which links an increase in the vaccination schedule to rising crime rates. (Yes - really.)
Kids are way way sicker now than when I was a kid, in the 1950's, which I look on as a sort of golden age, which went on into 70's as well. Some 400 robberies then in a year, 20,000 now.
What a moron.

This is how you KNOW that you are fucking LOVED!!!
I shoulda done done this several days ago, but I'm an idiot.
I didn't even have to ASK him to do it, but Scott of World O'Crap leapt into the fray nonetheless, and wrote a fundraising emergency post for me on WO'C that damned near ripped my heart out, it was so kind, so loving, so generous, so way-too-fucking-good-for-me, I did actually cry, as pathetic as that is. I know, I'm a flying-cockaroach trainwreck excuse for a "grown-up," but fuck, when your whole life is in the shitter and going downhill from THERE, and then somebody whom you respect and adore goes and puts shit like THIS up on teh innernets for you, how the hell would YOU react?
I'm not posting this to do more begging, I'm posting it because I am so damned proud to have friends like the family that I have @ WO'C, and even more proud to have a friend like Scott, who would weave a tapestry of words like this together just for my old useless ass. GO READ IT, DAMMIT, it's fucking BEAUTIFUL.
And Moondoggie even reached-out, well, through the innernet toobs, anyway, to hug me and everybody else @ WO'C, in THE cutest picture he may have ever been in, so that's EXTRA LOVE POINTS right there!!! I do adore that big ginger goober. I am in awe of his flatmate/dominatrix Riley, she is one of the few cats on earth as badassed as Biddy, but Moonie, like the FIRST Moonie, aka drummer for the Who, is nothing but funny, unconscious adorability, furry love and goofy as hell.
