Stop the Internet! I Want to Get Off!
Can't we just go back to this?
Remember when the Internet was just a place to wait for poor-resolution pictures to load? Where you could go to find out about every glitch ever in the original Pokémon games, and even some that never worked, but how would you know?
I never found anything under that truck.
Maybe it's because I was a kid then, and I didn't know where to find the hate speech or the misogyny or the trolls…
I'm so tired of all of it.
Last month, we reported on a story of an American feminist video blogger named Anita Sarkeesian launching a Kickstarter project to fund a video series that examines the roles of women in video games.
Not a second of video with respect to this project was even recorded, not counting the support video on her Kickstarter, and she was subject to hate speech and death threats. Violent language for daring to be a woman talking about wanting to talk about something.
The latest in the Sarkeesian Saga is the posting and subsequent removal of a "game" called "Beat Up Anita Sarkeesian."
I'm not linking to it, nor am I linking to news stories about it. They carry the pictures and the pictures are terrible. The 25-year-old boy who made it is from Sault Ste. Marie. A Toronto based blogger found him out and told the Internet.
And who's the bad one here? Is it the manchild who thinks a flash-game based entirely on inflicting grievous physical harm upon an image of a real person is okay?
No, it's the woman who told people about it.
And that appears to be the popular opinion. This isn't just a few people!
Sarkeesian linked a number of media appearances of hers and her story on her website. I looked at how Canada handled this story, she has links to both Macleans and The Globe and Mail.
Everyone in those comments sections should be ashamed of themselves.
This is just one story. There are an untold number more.
How many people have been silenced? How many have left the web entirely because of these spiteful trolls?
The world may never know. You don't exist if you're not online.
Stop the Internet. I want to get off. Let's hit the reset button and go back. Back to a simpler time of animated flaming skull gifs and horrible background MIDI files you can't turn off.
Here's some puppies.
(that last one is my favourite)

Stolen truck carrying 'dangerous' radioactive material found in Mexico

Mexico told the IAEA the truck was carrying cobalt-60 teletherapy from a Tijuana hospital to a radioactive waste storage unit. The material is used in medical treatments.

Alaska is a pork obsessed state. They enjoyed Stevens bacon for years and years.

#4, I think part of it had to do with the fact that he used state computers to transact personal business.

No, the people of Alaska used to love her, but the massive smear campaign and lies from the left that are still going on 5 years later affected people´s perceptions of her. Even this rag, the "post-intelligence", lied here and said she "quit to make money". NO, she didn´t "quit" her job as Governor and she certainly didn´t do it to make money! She was forced to make a decision to resign for the good of Alaska because of thousands of frivolous lawsuits and inquiries that were tying up all the resources and making it impossible for any state business to get done. She knew she couldn´t be effective as long as she was a target for the left and so she believed her Lieutenant Governor could better carry on her plans and turned it over to him.

PPP is a Democrat polling outfit from North Carolina and the Seattle PI is an online newspaper that used to be a mainstream daily broadsheet until they went online only in order to avoid going belly up. The whole article should be taken with about a barrel of sodium chloride and treated as left-wing propaganda.Begich was one of those accidents of history that got elected because Ted Stevens was in the middle of a federal corruption prosecution during the 2008 election campaign.I think New Mexico might be the federal pork queen among the states.

The well-named Post-Intelligence (i.e., after intelligence has gone) uses a far left polling outfit, PPP, to offer us this sophomoric headline: Begich Popular, Palin Unpopular (Ugh Ugh).Cub reporter Connelly continues his lame, biased reporting in the excerpted paragraph below."He has a big, big lead — 54-38 percent — over former Gov. and 2008 Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin. Palin was recently jettisoned from her pundit's position by the Fox News Channel. She quit as governor in mid-term to make money."Begich has "a big, big lead;" "Palin was...jettisoned from her pundit´s position;" and the new and startling ´fact´ that "she quit as governor in mid-term to make money." I´ll bet his copy went over big in the PI (see para one here) ´newsroom.´A few more months of Obama, the Democrats, and the trampling on our Constitution, and Sarah could win an Alaskan senatorial seat by a landslide...despite what the PPP poll would have us believe.

#7 I suspect if there was an anti-Palin article in a school newsletter in some tiny town in West Virginia certain posters would spend all day finding it and then rub their hands with glee as they post it. Getting over it is impossible for some people, it´s called Palin "Derangement" Syndrome for a reason.If only such excessive zeal was put into pulling down this corrupt administration! It never ceases to amaze me how people put such energy into bringing down someone who´s supposedly in their own party, and yet expect that their favorite be supported by all. It´s called hypocrisy. Unfortunately, the Dems don´t have a monopoly on it.I guess they´ll never stop, it´ll be obscure articles about biased polls about races Palin´s not even entering for the next God-knows-how-many years. Some people really need to get a life. Click Here if you Like this Comment

#33 is right about Connelly. He´s been around a while and is a far-left nutcase. Unfortunately his background of 35 years is not 35 years of experience but 1 year experience 35 times.

# 9 may be the only poster who actually read the article.The article discusses Republicans trying to get the Senate seat currently held by Begich.This seat is a Republican must win and it´s going to be a tough slog, because Begich is not a conventional Democrat and holds views popular with Alaskans.The article analyzes all the potential Republicans who might challenge Begich and how they poll.Their pluses and minuses.Palin is now free to run for the Senate from Alaska ,so her name was included in the poll.The poll breakdown was 21 % Democrat , 32 % Republican and 46 % Indy .

When posters don´t read the articles, mayhem results and the OPs get smeared.Lucianne is not supposed to be an echo chamber so there will be posts from many sources known to lean left. Most either read them and consider the source or move on. Quietly. A few feel a need to post a nasty aimed at the poster. Not fair.The posting of an article should not have to include a disclaimer that it does not necessarily represent the views of the poster, nor should those views be assumed. We all know what the word ASSUME can represent.To put it more simply, if you don´t like what´s posted, how about posting something you do like?

I would vote for Sarah Palin for any office she chooses to pursue. Sarah Palin is a gutsy patriotic lady, happily married, a doting mother, which irks the left to no end.Compare energetic, bright eyed, beautiful Sarah Palin to washed up, obese, uncaring Hillary Clinton.

Obama has given the total US SS database to his campaign... and now they pre-vote for everyone. Over the next 18 mo´s, they need to create the illusion that red states are becoming blue, otherwise we´ll be shocked when they win it all.Pre-voting for Americans caused many swing districts to record over 100% voter participation.

Conditions of Use
This is my spreadsheet. I picked three stocks. Ebay, Walt Disney, and Walmart. We started our stocks on November 19 2009 and we're going to end on April 22, 2010. We started a spread sheet so we could see if we were gaining money or losing money. At first everything that I had I was losing money with but now, I'm gaining money. This was from Thursday April 1, 2010 so now I'm still gaining but Walmart is losing. This is to teach us how to use stock and what happens in everyday life. Those are my stocks.

Eight reasons Obama will win in 2012
Relax, liberals. He'll be back.
The Democratic Party is united.
Ken DeCell is coauthor of the 1992 book The 13 Keys to the Presidency, which predicts elections based on a baker's dozen of factors, including success in foreign affairs, a major domestic policy achievement and economic growth. Obama has turned most of the keys, DeCell says, including the most important one: There is no significant third-party or independent campaign.
"If the economy is in recession in the first or second quarter of next year, you may hear rumblings of a third party," DeCell says. But "I don't think there will be. There's just nobody that's emerged."
Obama is unlikely to face a challenge from the left because he has (finally) satisfied many liberals with actions such as overturning Don't Ask Don't Tell. "That's a clear measure of equality for LGBT voters," says Bernard Cherkasov, chief executive officer of LGBT advocacy group Equality Illinois. "During his term, he has also accomplished things that were only a dream just four or five or six years ago, such as…the enactment of the Hate Crimes Act."
Also, liberals learned their lesson about third-party challenges in 2000, when Ralph Nader's candidacy undermined Al Gore's campaign. "Republicans fall in line and Democrats fall in love," says Kevin Lampe, a Chicago political consultant and executive VP of strategic communications firm Kurth Lampe, who coached Obama before his speech at the 2004 Democratic National Convention. But Democrats will fall in line behind Obama because "if they don't vote, it's a tea party vote."

Two articles that are not hammering the catholic faith. I'm impressed. It would be a much better site if IC keep a balance in all things. We need uplifting articles as well. It's no fun leaving the site been depressed most of the time.

As far as we have seen, his life has been anything but catholic! He has it all and now he loves god because god has helped him! So, other people who have nothing in life should not thank this God? Honestly, I think he is talking lots of rubbish! I am not religious but if I was, I'd be very angry at people like him! Well at least he is hot!

I think Mrs Sadler should realize he is and actor and the roles he plays are in no way a reflection on his deep personal beliefs.We all make choices everyday and its very puritanical of her to criticize him. In this day and age one should be commended on sharing from the heart and giving hope to other who face difficult situations. In fact it is not very christian to judge others. Pierce Brosnan is an excellent actor and deserves all the happiness he has worked to achieve. My dear mom use to teach us "If you can't say anything nice, shut your yap!" Please have a nice day Mrs. Sadler.

Mrs Sadler should realize he is an actor and to act roles does not always express a persons deep beliefs. Judging others is also not such a christen thing to do. In this day and age no one should be criticize
for sharing their beliefs spiritually. My mother use to say "If you can't say anything nice then shut your yap!" Have a nice day.

Mel Gibson was sitting on the veranda with his wife one day. He says "I love you..." She says "Is that you or the beer talking?"... He says "It's me... talking to the beer". Mel isn't a perfect Catholic... I dare say few people, including meself, are... but Mel holds on to his Catholic faith and is not ashamed to shout it out. Neither am I. >> Agreed, PB was a great JB - was sorry to see him dropped.

Sorry to disagree with you Jacers, but Mel Gibson is not exactly an example to anyone, even as a human being let alone a catholic.
well done to Pierce Brosnan though. The worst thing the Broccolis ever did was to drop him as James Bond .

When one is given the gift of faith, one doesn't throw it away lightly in fashionable waves. Great to see Pierce Brosnan letting the world know he retains his Catholic faith. So too do other Hollywood stars like Mel Gibson and Jim Caviezel.

Nice article, nice thoughts by Mr. Brosnan. It's such a shame that he's been able to compartmentalize his Faith in the way that he has. According to IMDB, he's for homosexual "marriage" and doesn't mind film nudity or sex scenes. Let us also not forget that he played James Bond in several (4 or 5?) films. A character known for promiscuity and violence. Not sure how he reconciles those choices and beliefs with the Catholic Faith he espouses. Maybe he'll realize how much he's compromised the Faith to be a successul actor in Hollywood..before it's too late. I hope so.

A rare feel-good story coming from the IC newswire about the Catholic Faith rather than the usual negative story-lines that it usually churns out. Pierce Brosnan acknowledges the debt which he owes to his Christian brother teachers for the gift of the Catholic faith which they have passed on.

Despite the overall state of the economy, rising costs, the loss of $1.2 million in state aid, and a series of unfunded mandates, including an additional payment of $1.3 million in required pension costs, the Board of Education is proposing one of the lowest budget-to-budget increases in 20 years and one of the lowest budget increases in Nassau County. "Our District is always looking to operate as efficiently as possible without compromising effectiveness. The Board of Education gave us one overriding directive: to the extent pos-sible, minimize the impact of any cuts on student instruction," said Bethpage Superintendent of Schools Terrence Clark. "In collaboration with the Citizen's Budget Advisory Committee, the District has worked to construct a budget that balances instructional needs with fiscal discipline." 2011-2012 Budget Supports and Preserves: • Class size policy • Elementary summer school • TGIF program for JFK and BHS • 21st Century Scholars' Program for all schools • All clubs and extracurriculars for all schools • Saturday Academic Intervention Services for all three ele-mentary schools • K-12 Inclusion Program • Student transportation mileage policy • Full Day Kindergarten • Robotics program • Artist-in-Residence programs for JFK and BHS 2011-2012 Budget Enhances the Current Instructional Program: • SMARTBoards for elementary classrooms • Staff development efforts in differentiated instruction, tech-nology, and anti-bullying • Technology upgrades for all schools • District Summer School for special needs students "Thanks to a school community partnership that recognizes the value of a 21st Century education, our District and stu-dent achievement have both been recognized on local, state, regional, and national levels," noted Bethpage Board of Education President Joel Dauman. "Our Disthct has a reputa-tion for providing a quality education in academics, the arts, athletics, character education and community service. We heard from many community members about how much they loved our programs and how they make Bethpage such a special place. We did not want to compromise this, yet we are fully aware of our fiscal responsibility to the taxpayers. The Board believes the proposed budget for 2011-12 delivers a wonderful educational experience for students within the financial means of the community." Savings have been achieved in several key areas, most notably, personnel costs. After carefully assessing needs and (Continued on page 4) l a u s t t 'i

Sam's Children, Inc. Dinner Raises $83,000
ROCKY HILL, Conn., Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Local CITGO Retailer CCO, LLC partnered with Sam's Children, Inc. to raise $83,000 to benefit families with ill children at its third annual Sam's Children Dinner at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Cromwell, Conn. on Sept.14, 2013. Sam's Children, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) organization serving families with children struggling with serious diseases. More than five hundred children and adults, including CCO employees, store operators, social workers, vendors, CITGO representatives, friends and families participated in the annual event.
Sam's Children President Charles DiFazio, Vice-President Hamid Bijari, Treasurer Tracy Schroeder and Secretary Sara Luzmoor organized an evening that featured a host of speakers, both silent and live auctions and prize drawings. Entertainment included a Michael Jackson impersonator, a renowned concert pianist and a singing duo. For the kids in attendance there was a face painter, magician, hand henna painter, a photo booth and a balloon artist.
"When parents have a child suffering from a serious condition, the financial stress from non-medical expenses is an added weight to the already difficult medical situation. Driving to medical facilities, paying for gas and parking, food, rent, utility bills, clothing, cribs, beds, etc. in addition to medical equipment expenses and hospital bills, can be unbearable for some families. At Sam's Children, we're able to step in and help with those expenses," said Tracy Schroeder, treasurer for Sam's Children, Inc. "For example, we often supply gasoline gift cards, a month of free parking or a month of free lunches at the hospital where the child is being treated."
Sam's Children, Inc. is a charitable, non-profit, tax exempt organization committed to raising funds to assist children with serious diseases and their families. All funds raised by Sam's Children, Inc., which are donated through the generosity of concerned and giving people, will be used exclusively for any proven need of a family whose child is battling cancer, multiple sclerosis or other serious and debilitating diseases. For more information about Sam's Children, please visit: http://samschildreninc.org/.
CITGO is committed to giving back to the local communities it serves through its network of locally owned locations. CITGO Marketers and Retailers in Connecticut, like CCO, LLC own and operate more than 175 CITGO locations and are proud to support their communities. For more information on the positive impact of the locally owned CITGO stations, visit www.fuelinggood.com.
CITGO, based in Houston, is a refiner, transporter and marketer of transportation fuels, lubricants, petrochemicals and other industrial products. The company is owned by PDV America, Inc., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Petroleos de Venezuela, S.A., the national oil company of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela.

Urine | Refrigerated (preferred) | 14 days |
Frozen | 14 days | |
Ambient | 72 hours |
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Protein in urine is normally composed of a combination of plasma-derived proteins that have been filtered by glomeruli and have not been reabsorbed by the proximal tubules and proteins secreted by renal tubules or other accessory glands.
Increased amounts of protein in the urine may be due to:
-Glomerular proteinuria: caused by defects in permselectivity of the glomerular filtration barrier to plasma proteins (eg, glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome)
-Tubular proteinuria: caused by incomplete tubular reabsorption of proteins (eg, interstitial nephritis)
-Overflow proteinuria: caused by increased plasma concentration of proteins(s) (eg, multiple myeloma, myoglobinuria)
-Urinary tract inflammation or tumor
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
> or =18 years: <102 mg/24 hours
Reference values have not been established for patients that are <18 years of age.
Reference value applies to 24-hour collection.
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Total protein >500 mg/24 hours should be evaluated by immunofixation to determine if a monoclonal immunoglobulin light chain is present, and if so, identify it as either kappa or lambda type.
Urinary protein levels may rise to 300 mg/24 hours in healthy individuals after vigorous exercise.
Low-grade proteinuria may be seen in inflammatory or neoplastic processes involving the urinary tract.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Increased urine protein levels (false-positives) may be due to contamination of urine with menstrual blood, prostatic secretions, or semen.
Protein electrophoresis and immunofixation may be required to characterize and interpret the proteinuria.
Clinical Reference Provides recommendations for further in-depth reading of a clinical nature
Keren DF: Clinical indications for electrophoresis and immunofixation. In Manual of Clinical Laboratory Immunology. 5th edition. Edited by NR Rose, E Conway de Macario, JD Folds, et al. Washington, DC, ASM Press, 1997, pp 65-74
Method Description Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
This assay uses colormetric dye binding on an automated analyzer. Pyrogallol red dye is combined with molybdenum acid forming a red complex with maximum absorption at 470 nm. When this complex is combined with protein under acidic conditions, its maximum absorption is shifted to a longer wavelength and develops a blue-purple color with a maximum at 604 nm. The concentration of protein in the specimen is equivalent to the absorbance of the dye urine mixture measured at 600 nm. (Package insert: Wako)
Day(s) and Time(s) Test Performed Outlines the days and times the test is performed. This field reflects the day and time the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time required before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means assays are performed several times during the day.
Monday through Sunday; Continuously
Analytic Time Defines the amount of time it takes the laboratory to setup and perform the test. This is defined in number of days. The shortest interval of time expressed is "same day/1 day," which means the results may be available the same day that the sample is received in the testing laboratory. One day means results are available 1 day after the sample is received in the laboratory.
Maximum Laboratory Time Defines the maximum time from specimen receipt at Mayo Medical Laboratories until the release of the test result
Specimen Retention Time Outlines the length of time after testing that a specimen is kept in the laboratory before it is discarded
Performing Laboratory Location The location of the laboratory that performs the test
Test Classification Provides information regarding the medical device classification for laboratory test kits and reagents. Tests may be classified as cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and used per manufacturer's instructions, or as products that do not undergo full FDA review and approval, and are then labeled as an Analyte Specific Reagent (ASR), Investigation Use Only (IUO) product, or a Research Use Only (RUO) product.
CPT Code Information Provides guidance in determining the appropriate Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code(s) information for each test or profile. The listed CPT codes reflect Mayo Medical Laboratories interpretation of CPT coding requirements. It is the responsibility of each laboratory to determine correct CPT codes to use for billing.
LOINC® Code Information Provides guidance in determining the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) values for the result codes returned for this test or profile.

What He Means: Whenever guys text a winky face, you can believe he's smiling flirtatiously at his phone. He's flirting with you – so flirt right back, babe!
What He Texts: What's the deal with you and Steve?
What He Means: When your crush texts you about another guy, he's jealous – he thinks you like him! Be direct and to the point – text back, "He sits next to me in science! We're just friends ." But if your best guy friend wants to know what's up, there's a chance he knows something about this dude you don't. Try and get him to spill the beans, but if he doesn't have any gossip, your best guy friend could be crushing on you.
What He Texts: What's the English homework?
What He Means: If a cutie texts you about something about a class you're in together, he thinks you're smart – and that's awesome! Since he's going out of his way to make a conversation with you, he's trying to figure out if you're friends or something more. Text him a question right back to keep the conversation going if you like him. Try something along the lines of, "Read pages 3-15… Do you want to meet at Starbucks and study together? Your frappuccino is on me!"
What He Texts: "See ya later, old sport!"
What He Means: If you love The Great Gatsby and he's throwing around F. Scott Fitzgerald references, this dude is trying to make you realize you're on the same wavelength.

What He Texts: "Hey cutie "

Exploring the use of iPads and mobile devices in education.
Hi Sam - my thoughts blogged today:
The biggest changes that I see impacting the educational value of iPad are video mirroring and the cameras.
I can instantly see how teachers can hook up to a projector and demonstrate some amazing things without having to go the route of purchasing an entire class set of iPads and figuring out new classroom management policies. There are actually some apps for the iPad that are better than what is available for the computer, and mirroring solves a big problem.
The second piece that I'm instantly excited about is the camera with iMovie on the iPad. I immediately imagined kids shooting and editing video on the best video camera I've ever imagined. I'm sure that tiny camera will have some limitations, but you can realistically have kids shooting, editing, and presenting all from one device, anywhere. Wow! Kids can incorporate video into Pages/Keynote projects.
I'm excited to see this in action.
Dear Jonathan,
The first Sync and Charge system for 16 iPads was released on the market yesterday in the US.
This system can be used as a desktop, stand alone unit, or it can be mounted within a cart or cabinet. It will take a few days to appear on internet searches.
This not a cheap product and will retail for over $1000.00 US.
I have this unit listed on my website. Please contact me for a direct link.

Hi Sam - my thoughts blogged today:
Top 3 things that iPad 2 has going for it as far as education is concerned:1. Screen Mirroring – Almost from day one of the release of the original iPod touch, the number one question that educators have asked is "can I display the screen on a projector or tv?", and the answer has been "no", then "no, but yes if you use a document camera", then "yes some apps can, but its still limited". Now FINALLY, the iPad 2 (and presumably all iOS devices going forward) will support full screen mirroring of everything via the VGA cable or the new HDMI cable. For showing apps and using the iPad as a shared whiteboard etc, this is a huge leap forward.2. Lighter – apparently the new iPad is 15% lighter – just enough of an improvement to make it more usable by students. I know my first generation iPad does get heavy even for my adult arms after 15mins or so – for primary school students especially, the weight drop might be just enough to allow for extended mobile use of iPads without as much hand/arm strain.3. Price drop of the old model – for now at least, the iPad 1 has had its price dropped by large amounts – up to AU$200 on some models – so its a great time for schools with limited budgets (ie all that I know) to do a learning and management plan, then purchase iPads at the cheaper price point.What does the iPad not have yet for education? As mentioned above, the iPad is a consumer device – its not been designed with the needs of education in mind specifically. So we still need a good system for managing and syncing more than a few iPads. We also need clarity around education use off apps and iTunes content. The hope is that the app volume licensing program available in the US will be extended overseas and enhanced with provision for iBooks and music/movies as well as apps. For Mac users, the next version of the Mac OS (due in around 6 months) will reportedly include iOS device management built in. Until then, proceed with caution; join an online iPad in education community, and create a good learning/management plan as always!
I won't give up my iPad, but the lack of Flash and a real file system are still serious classroom hurdles.

South Wales duo set to entertain at folk club
9:20am Thursday 28th June 2012 in Leisure
FOLK duo Andrew McKay and Carol Etherton are to be Valley Folk Club's next guest artists on June 29 at the Ivy Bush Hotel, Pontardawe.
Born in South Wales, Andrew has been singing at folk clubs and playing the obscure crane duet concertina for more years than he cares to remember.
A visit to Horsham Folk Club in the late 1990s introduced Carole to folk music.
Carole especially enjoyed being at the Lancaster Festival in 2004 when she met Andrew, who was performing with Baggyrinkle, whom he had sang with for several years - their wedding was in April 2006! Carole now lives with Andrew in beautiful Gower.
The duo will be supported by young Swansea musician Sarah Passmore.
Influenced by Laura Marling, Johnny Flynn, John Mayer, KT Tunstall, Rufus Wainwright, Leonard Cohen, Jack Johnson andMatt Costa, her songs tell of an experience unique in one so young.
An evening not to be missed.
The event starts at 8pm, tickets are £5, contact Huw Pudner on 01792 425231.

Down East 2013 ©
By Linda Hedman Beyus
Linda Greenlaw, the best-selling author of The Lobster Chronicles, The Hungry Ocean, All Fishermen Are Liars, a cookbook, and two mystery novels, describes herself as such: "My resume is short: I fish, and I write about fishing." But it's a little more impressive than that. She was, after all, the other boat captain in The Perfect Storm. And not many of us have the chance (or frankly, the guts) to experience commercial blue-water swordfishing firsthand.
So the next smartest option is to read her latest book, Seaworthy: A Swordboat Captain Returns to the Sea (Viking, New York, NY; hardcover; 256 pages; $25.95). And once this tale is under way, readers will be relieved to never have to go to sea in these conditions — we're not talking just about weather here, as in some previous Greenlaw ventures.
Faced with a chance to return to commercial swordfishing after a ten-year break from writing and lobstering from her home on Isle au Haut, Greenlaw signs on as captain for some high-stakes fishing in the tough waters of the Grand Banks. As she admits, "I know I really thrive on the life of wild adventure at sea." She has twenty years of commercial fishing under her belt, earning her stripes as a skilled swordboat captain with the ability to catch plenty of big fish.
Since there are only about six boats that sail from the U.S. to fish the Grand Banks, Greenlaw observes, "Being one of their captains really placed me on an endangered species list." She also has the distinction of being the only female swordboat captain in the U.S.
Greenlaw and her hand-picked crew of four set off from Massachusetts on the forty-six-foot Seabird, which from the start has a series of malfunctions — engine failure, a busted ice machine and water maker, broken electronics and beeper buoys, and more. Seabird, supposedly refurbished and ready for the trip according to its owner, is later nicknamed, understandingly, with a profane ornithological name by its crew.
The book is a page-turner once the round-the-clock swordfishing starts and the "set" is made. Lines are thirty to forty miles (yes, miles) long, upheld by three hundred buoys, with a thousand leaders that dangle off the main line holding baited hooks that also attract pesky sharks. Not easy stuff to deal with and still have toes, fingers, and limbs intact. The work is hard, fast, intense, and dangerous.
In Seaworthy Greenlaw gets into the gritty details — managing crew, strategizing where to fish, boat repairs. It helps the reader comprehend a foreign world: the "fishing ocean," as she calls it. Yet Greenlaw skillfully describes the details of fishing and captaining without weighing the book down in technicalities. Part of this voyage includes her well-publicized arrest and being thrown in jail in Newfoundland mid-trip for inadvertently drifting into Canadian waters (the two hundred-mile limit) while fishing and following Seabird's thirty miles of meandering line, a costly and uncharacteristic mistake.
Greenlaw also illuminates the people and the environment she surrounds herself with. She's unafraid to be introspective and self-examining in her writing — occasionally more than is needed to convey a point. And she writes deftly about the strengths and struggles of her crew. These interpersonal observations pair well with her depiction of the nature of swordfish. She describes them as "fascinating in their unique combination of fish and sword — like a unicorn, but real." And she offers insight into her own Darwinian relationship with their demise: "Do fish have the capacity to experience feelings of defeat or triumph? The belief that they do makes catching them that much more intense an experience. Who wants to engage in a battle with a rock? Xiphias gladius is the Braveheart of the ocean."
Greenlaw is a solid nonfiction writer, and Seaworthy is another feather in her writing and fishing cap. To say that it narrates an unsmooth trip is an understatement, but you'll have to turn some pages to learn how it all ends up.

A Butterflies' Wing is a realistic psychological horror Role play, that is meant to play upon the fears of the characters involved. It is meant to simulate and play upon the deepest fears of mankind, in a fashion that does not necessarily represent a physical consequence, but such that it is mentally crippling as well. Some of the themes and reoccurring features of 'A Butterflies Wing'
- Fear
- Death
- Suspicion
- Mystery
- Betrayal
- Loneliness
- Many Others
A Fearful Festival!
Patients[the PCs] at the Raeym Psychiatric ward have been granted permission to go to a nearby town for a massive festival that the town holds annually, provided they pass a psych exam to gauge their level of progress. The festival they are scheduled to go to is a Halloween themed festival, that the doctors think will help the patients get over their fears, and perhaps be reintegrated into the world outside the routine filled walls. However, its not long before things seem to take a turn for the worst. The doctor that interviewed the patients is found dead in his office, and though no one knows, his death was the result of one of his deepest fears, snakes. How the snakes got into the room is unknown, but what is known, is that the doctor's notes have all mysteriously vanished, putting the staff on edge.
While the patients don't know what's happening, because the workers at the ward have decided to withhold this information, they soon become, along with various members of the town, hunted by someone who knows everything about them - even their darkest fears. Now they must figure out who it is and what they want before they find themselves face to face with the thing that may ultimately be their death - Fear.
RP Start/Summary:
The RP will start with the patients getting ready to go to the festival in the next town over. No one knows that the doctor has been found dead, so everything appears to be on the up and up.
After a week or so of continous watching and testing, they've all passed their psych exams, and given the green light to venture out into the world, or particularly the festival. They don't know that the reason they are going to the festival is because it represents fear, being based off the darker side of life, and is meant to help the conquer their fears. However, the townsfolk haven't told the new warden of the hospital all there is to know of the town's history, and the bloody path that its been marred with.
