I think the world needs to know I would put my video on youtube. Then I will bring to a church group and play it at church. Then the people who saw it will tell people about it. Then eventually everyone would know about Jesus.

Some time its the little things that matter the most. When are school donates a pair of shoes that helps the kids in a orphanage to get a pair of shoes. If we all donated food that would make a difference. So now you now the little do make a big difference.

Helping You Solve Big Problems

Aspen are great native trees. They fill many niches in the landscape, including moist areas, small spots and places where you need quick growth for screening. Unfortunately, they are also prone to a number of diseases and insects. So if your aspens aren't looking quite right, here is what might be wrong.
Curling Leaves can be caused by one of three insects.
Leaf Rollers will turn under both edges of the leaf about ¼" – ½". You will usually find tiny eggs or a small worm inside this roll. They won't kill the tress, just slow its growth and make it unsightly. Spray with a systemic pesticide to rid of Leaf Rollers.
Tent Caterpillars will create white "tents" around the end of a branch, rolling a number of leaves within it. Prune off in the evening and put in plastic bags in the trash.
Aphids attack the new shoots on aspens and suck out the juices, the leaves will look misshapen and curled, and there will be a sticky residue. Often ants will be crawling up the tree to feed on the residue. Spray the tree with a strong blast of water; you can also use insecticidal soap or Permethrin, if the infestation is severe.
Leaf Spots can be caused by an insect or a disease.
Leaf Miners will eat the middle layer of the leaf leaving intricate tunnels between the tan epidermal layers.
Black Spots look just like its name and is just unsightly, though it can cause early defoliation.
Tan Spots are cause by Marsonnina, a disease which can also cause small leaves and early defoliation.
The best defense for all of the above is to rake up and dispose of all leaves every fall. Do not put them in the compost pile or use as mulch elsewhere in the yard.
Blackened or Curling New Shoots can be caused by one of two things. The first is frost damage and the other is Shepherd's Crook, or Shoot Blight. This is a disease that causes blackened new shoots that curl into a crook. They can be pruned off if you can reach them and make sure you rake these up each fall also.
There are 3 things that cause problems with the trunks of trees.
Lawn-mower-itis, also called weed-wacker-itis; never plant grass right up to the trunk of an aspen, but instead put a ring of mulch around it.
Borers, these infestations will manifest with a deposit of sawdust at the boring site or at the base of the tree. Treat with Permethrin and spray with Dormant Oil each Fall and Spring.
Cytospora, this will look like an orange stained area that is soft and sometimes "bleeding". Advanced cases are black. These trees should be removed immediately, as it is highly contagious.
With all of these conditions, they mostly attack stressed trees. So the best way to insure the health of your Aspen trees is with proper prevention. Keep the trees properly watered. Fertilize each Spring with Nitrogen and Iron (don't use Nitrogen after Labor Day). Keep grass away from the trunks. Do not use weed killers on their sprouts. Take up the leaves each Fall. Spray with Dormant Oil each Fall at leaf Drop, and each Spring at bud swell before leaf emergence. Enjoy your beautiful quakers and their harvest of gold!

Hey guys,
I've been having this recurring problem on my Scarlet. What happens is that mid way through a take, a bar of discoloration appears on the left side of the frame. This bar runs from top to bottom of the frame and appears to be a different color or saturation to the rest of the frame. I first noticed it when filming some recent interview footage. I was watching a monitor of the SDI feed and would see the bar flicker on and off occasionally. I first thought it might just be the SDI signal but I saw the same problem in my Red 5.0 touch monitor. The issue was also present in the R3D files when I watched them back through RCP. When it first occurred I was running the latest beta FW (can't remember the number but it was the one that added 1khd, 2khd etc) so I thought the problem may have been because of that but after installing 3.2.16 release build the problem persists.I first tried to replicate it at 4k resolution and after shooting for a bit it started to recur. I then tried 3k and couldn't get the problem to appear.
This got me thinking so I tried the 12fps at 5k option and sure enough I got the problem again but this time it took up even more of the left of frame than at 4k. This leads me to believe the issue is with the sensor and I'm only not seeing it at 3k because of the crop. Has anyone else had this issue? I'm pretty desperate as I have a lot of jobs on that need 4K resolution.
I've attached two pictures. The first shows an example at 4k from the interview material. I've bumped the contrast up a little so that the problem is more obvious. I know it's a small jpg but if you look hard you can see this bar at the left of frame where the red color is completely different to the rest of the frame.The second still shows the same problem whilst testing at 5k. I've pumped this up again and I apologise for the Jpeg compression but the bar is clearly visible on the left of frame, a yellowy color not present in the rest of the frame. The bar now takes up significantly more of the frame than the same problem at 4k.
Any help much appreciated.

Many people think that if someone can make a lot of goals, or get some touchdowns, or even knock some homeruns out of the park, than people think that they are just all around good people. In some caes this is true. Drew Brees, Tim Tebow, etc. But there are a lot of people who arent very nice in these sports. Reggie Jackson, Roger Clemens. I think athletes should be judged on their off the field behavior too.

he Palestine Children's Relief Fund is a registered non-political, non-profit, 501(c)3 tax-exempt organization that was established in 1991 by concerned people in the U.S. to address the medical and humanitarian crisis facing Palestinian youths in the Middle East. It has since expanded to help suffering children from the region, based only on their medical needs. We do not discriminate based on religion, gender, nationality or sect.
The main objective of the PCRF is to identify and treat every child in the Middle East in need of specialized surgery not available to them locally. We locate, sponsor and run volunteer medical missions to the Middle East in pediatric cardiac surgery, pediatric cardiology, plastic and reconstructive surgery, maxillofacial surgery, pediatric urology, ophthalmology, vascular surgery, pediatric orthopedic surgery, Pediatric urology and pediatric surgery as well as many other specialties. We also locate abroad free medical care for children who cannot be adequately treated in the Middle East. The PCRF is the main organization regularly sending injured and sick Arab children to North and South America, the Middle East and Europe for free care that is not available to them there. Since 1991 over 1,000 children have been abroad for millions of dollars of donated care through the PCRF.
The PCRF also helps to improve the quality of medical care in the Middle East by sending medical equipment and supplies to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, as well as training local Palestinian medical personnel to improve the quality of care and services within the public sector.
The PCRF currently has several injured or sick Arab children in North and South America, the Middle East or Europe being treated for free. We are also working to locate free medical care for many more injured and sick children from Palestine, Lebanon and Iraq. Our strength is our chapters and volunteers, from San Diego to Amman, from Dubai to Chicago, who act as host families, translators and other supporters, enabling us to continue our humanitarian relief work.
A Closer Look at The PCRF
Over the past two decades plus, The PCRF has worked hard to become one of the most effective, highly accredited non-profit organizations working in the Middle East. Our strength is providing millions of dollars worth of donated specialized life-saving medical care for thousands of sick and injured children in need each year, who otherwise would not get the treatment that they needed to live better lives.
Every year, thousands of children have expert medical tests, evaluations and screenings through our visiting missions, with thousands more having surgery or treatment for free. When we have no other option, we launch campaigns to raise funds for children who need surgery locally, although this is rare and difficult to do.
We accomplish an estimated 50-1 return on donations through the value of our work by:
- Keeping our administrative costs low.
- Working with doctors and hospitals thoughout the world who are willing to donate their time and services for free.
- Recruiting volunteer medical teams to travel oversees to perform surgeries, screenings, and training at no cost.
- Locating host families who are willing to house and care for the children during their treatment abroad.
Good Practice
The PCRF continues to follow and operate under the US Treasury Anti Terrorist Financing Guidelines. In fact, The PCRF was one of the first organizations working in Palestine to be given a license by the US Department of the Treasury, Office of Foreign Assets Control to continue our humanitarian work there after new restrictions were put in place for all US charities following the 2006 elections.

A Different Kind of Database
In this article by Brian Ritchie, author of the book RavenDb When most people talk of a database, they mean a relational database. Relational databases have been the foundation of enterprise application for the past 30 years. First defined in June 1970 by Edgar Codd of IBM's San Jose Research Laboratory, relational databases store data in now familiar tables made up of rows and columns.
Relational databases have served us well for many years, so why do we need a different kind of database? Most developers have experience of building applications with relational databases and access to great tooling. However, relational databases do have their limits. As our systems grow, it becomes more difficult and expensive to scale a traditional relational database.
To understand how we got here, let's take a quick trip back into the recent past. Relational databases were created when big iron ruled the world. These centralized mainframes provided the foundation of the first relational database systems. As we moved into the client/server era, these databases moved onto lower priced servers. But fundamentally, they are still running on one central machine.

Cape May & New York June 2012.
A trip that came from nowhere really as I had no real desire to go to the States but having spoke to Pete Dunne I realised he could sell ice to Eskimos.
Two very different places that made for a very enjoyable, and relaxing birding place where I unusually allowed myself to be a tourist when in New York. Almost finished just need to add a few photos and some text about Central Park and the Ramble in particular. The place we stayed in Cape May I can recommend highly. Please feel free to give your opinion on the overall report as I found info a bit scarce particularly outside the usual migration times. http://www.wildrossendale.co.uk/Cape...port-2012.html

I really enjoyed reading this, particularly as I was in Cape May the previous week. I also found it to be an excellent destination for birding, which I'm sure could be done at most times of the year (not just during migration time), and it's dead easy to do.
The warning about ticks is very true though. Throughout my time there I ended up with seven of the little critters on me, and was finding them crawling inside the car for days.
No news is bad news. So go out there and make news! Last edited by Richard Powell : Tuesday 14th August 2012 at 21:58. |

Hi Richard
Thanks for the feedback. I had a peruse around your new blog and I also enjoyed your take on Cape May. Whilst we had similar experience of Ticks we were lucky enough to not see anything like the midge troubles. Bald Eagle pictures are ace. Thanks again. May see you there in Autumn....

TV news magazine features Bethel region
It's not a video game.
It's not a Chamber of Commerce promotion.
Once Phil Blampied of Rumford gets people to understand the nature of what he's producing with his video camera, they like it, he says.
"Today River Valley" is a quarterly news magazine featuring stories in the Bethel and Rumford areas. It's an hour-long TV show that can be viewed online or purchased as a DVD in local stores, including the Bethel Foodliner and Crossroads Restaurant.
Blampied spent much of his life working in communications and journalism in Massachusetts, so he knows how to put news material together.
Video is a relatively new medium for him, one he started experimenting with last year.
"I really enjoyed playing around with it," he said.
It wasn't long before Blampied decided to take his work public by entering a video contest promoting the Lewiston-Auburn area. Titled "Pump Up the Positive," the competition sought entries that showed the twin cities in a favorable light.
He chose to make a black-and-white, silent film showcasing "Four Great Places Shoot a Movie in Lewiston and Auburn Maine." It followed a man around the cities as he checked out the four sites: Bates College, the Bates Mill, a pedestrian bridge and the Basilica of Sts. Peter and Paul.
Blampied won third prize.
Then he started thinking about another project.
"Video is everywhere in society these days, but no one has yet fully figured out how to create community journalism with it," he said. "There's plenty of video in communities with broadcast television stations, but in areas too small for their own TV stations, none or spotty efforts."
So he decided to try to fill that void.
Active in the Rumford community, he didn't need long to find some good story ideas.
This fall Blampied interviewed animal welfare volunteers in the River Valley, a magician/entertainer, and people trying to save the Peru Elementary School. He also came to Bethel for stories on the Maine Mineral and Gem Museum and the Androscoggin River's recovery from the pollution of the past. He added commercials on businesses in Rumford, as well as Gourmet in a Pinch and Bethel Outdoor Adventure.
Blampied put the show on DVD and online. Over the next few weeks it drew 460 views online, and he sold 100 DVDs, he said. He hopes to build the online viewership to around 2,000.
"The trick is reaching people and getting them to watch, and I'm doing this with a combination of the Internet and DVDs," he said. "People are receiving it very well once they get past the confusion on what it is."
The winter edition features pieces on the effort by Andover to withdraw from SAD 44; horsedrawn wagon rides in Bethel; hoot night at the Sudbury Inn; a visit to a Rumford diner; an interview with a Rumford artist; a church singing group in Canton and snowshoe races in Mexico.
Commercial messages focus on the Rostay and Mill Hill inns of Bethel and a variety of Rumford-area businesses.
Blampied is already at work on his spring edition, which he expects to be available in mid-April or early May.
"The program is a quarterly for the practical purposes of allowing people enough time find and watch it, and allow me, as a one-man production staff, enough time to produce each successive edition," he said.

This is what online harassment looks like
Obscene images, hate sites and a game where people are invited to beat you up have been inflicted on Anita Sarkeesian.
By Helen Lewis Published 06 July 2012 8:30480 comments
I wouldn't worry so much. The writers of such things are usually the kind who, if they actually have wives, end up on the sofa anyway. More generally, they don't and can't comprehend why the only woman who thinks they're special is mom, and even she's not sure anymore.
This, contributed by Spokker, deserves repeating:
Helen Lewis wrote a fun little article highlighting a game where you hit Tea Party Republican zombies with a crowbar. I wonder how many people she incited to hurt conservative personalities. Did she do it for the "lolz?" Yes, she used lolz in her article.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Do you post this because you like debating or because you condone rape threats?
Oh wait, probably to shut Helen up.
Look at the headline. She DISapproves.
And why are you out to discredit this piece on online harrassment of Anita?
Because feminists are a protected class and if you disagree, you are engaging in hate speech and should be jailed!!!!
happily you are Far Too Small and the movement is SO BIG.
The really awful thing here is how you're too stupid to understand how stupid you are.
I can't stress this enough, mras and people who seem to advocate for them most often use this tactic: false equivalence. No its not the same thing, you are being either disingenuous or stupid, I of course need a larger sample size to figure out which.
There is no "false equivalence" here.
What we have is the author, Helen Lewis, decrying Internet harassment of a feminist, with special attention to a violent online game.
Yet the same writer approvingly reviews a violent online game that attacks Republicans, and stays silent when right-wing women are subjected to online harassment.
This is an example of sexist and political hypocrisy, plain and simple.
If 5000 people shout down a woman in Hyde Park she can no longer be heard. If 5000 people leave tasteless comments under her blog the blog is not thereby rendered illegible. There is no freedom of speech issue here except the one involved in trying to stop losers writing nasty messages or drawing nasty pictures. Let the losers publish their preoccupations to the world!
This article was very good, the sexist simpleton rush is a proof of it ! ^_^
all those disgusting pictures are coming from that site "9gag". someone should do something.
Truly disgusting stuff.
But since we are talking about sexist online bullying being something that designed to silence the target and other women from participating in the exchange of ideas and the political process, I have a couple of questions.
What was your position on sexist abuse of Sarah Palin and her daughters?
On sexist abuse of Ann Coulter.
On sexist (and racist) abuse of Michelle Malkin?
What's that? Crickets chirping?
Feminists have been deploring sexist attacks against Sara Palin and her daughters, of Ann Coulter, and of Michelle Malkin all along.
Are you honestly unaware of that? Every time it happens, it is pointed out and deplored 0n all the feminist blogs.
Did you not KNOW that? You're honestly trying to score points against feminists for not doing something that they already ARE doing?
It's as unacceptable as what's described in the article, and it's something that many (but not enough) contemporary feminists also condemn. I'm so liberal my heart's out of blood, but I despise Bill Maher and other commentators for participating in misogynist attacks. I think Sarah Palin, Ann Coulter and Michelle Malkin are themselves sexist and racist, but they deserve to be free from attacks based on their sex and race.
Helen Lewis wrote a fun little article highlighting a game where you hit Tea Party Republican zombies with a crowbar. I wonder how many people she incited to hurt conservative personalities. Did she do it for the "lolz?" Yes, she used lolz in her article.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Spokker, grow up already.
In the head of the post it says: 'tasteless game'
Furthermore, there is a big difference with referring specifically to (domestic) violence , which is something that is frequently done to women in real life (ever seen anybody in real life attack zombie politicians? I don't think so), beating up a specific woman's face because she points out sexism, and a group of politicians whose political agenda you don't like. The latter is a disgusting form of 'satire', not a personal threat at least, the former is threatening a specific woman with specific gender related abuse.
Get over yourself, start thinking.
For instance about why it is that you feel the need to defend people who send rape threats to a woman. Do you like rape? Do you think sexism is ok?Women are asking for it and should just take it and shut the hell up? Why are you so desperate to stand up for Anita's harrassers?
Come on, be honest, we're all c*nts right? I know you're dying to, but you're just afraid to own up, keeping up an air of rationality and pretending to provide actual arguments.
Why are you not shocked by pictures of rape and abuse?
Because two wrong totally make a right.
No, two wrongs make two wrongs, and Helen only sees one.
If you read the feminist blogosphere you would know that sexist / transphobic slurs against Ann Coulter, Sarah Palin and others have been roundly and repeatedly condemned, because "that's what feminists do" - regardless of the awfulness of their views. But of course you don't read the feminist blogosphere, because you already have a picture in your head of what a feminist is and how a feminist thinks, and it would be uncomfortable if that came up against any actual facts.
so what is your answer then as to what should happen, oh wise defender of the internet??
But two Wongs can make it white.
Oh wow, Spokker - well spotted indeed!
What do you have to say for yourself, Ms Lewis?
Why do you need $6000 to make Youtube videos about videogame tropes anyway?
That's a fair question, but it belongs to an entirely different conversation. Even if she pocketed all that money (which I'm fairly secure to assume she won't), does that mean she deserves this? Do you not find it disturbing that a person takes pleasure in beating the image of a woman up and seeing this very accurate and detailed bruises? How is that person not the same that would beat a woman in the street? So far the apologetic "explanation" for this pleasure has been "the lolz", "having fun". If this is your idea of fun, who are you and where has your humanity gone to?
"does that mean she deserves this?"
She doesn't, because I wasn't implying that. Rather, I'd have preferred it if the 4chan nerds kept their mouths shut and left her to be one of the hundreds of thousands of irrelevent feminist whiners on the Internet. Instead, they've turned her into a martyr for the likes of the New Statesman. Great job.
they don't have humanity whatsoever, they've traded it in to receive packs of bacon shoved into their gullets every minute of their "i should have been a blow job" lives.
You're very angry. You should calm down. If only you put your futile rage into something more productive, like gardening.
You're very angry. You should calm down. If only you put their futile rage into something more productive, like gardening.
I'd say that $6000 is pretty reasonable as compensation for her work. Researching and creating videos takes time, after all. People who care about the issue donated willingly. I don't see a problem with that. Why do you care if you didn't donate? It's not your money being spent.
Right. I'll be waiting on your piece on the abuse Sarah Palin and a host of conservative bloggers deal with every day. Ugh. Spare me your leftist crap.
If you ever went on a feminist blog or website you would see that there have been articles denouncing the public abuse of women who are in both the democratic and republican spheres. Yes, I roll my eyes when I hear some of the things that Palin has had to say and her daughter's views on life and raising a child are genuinely worrisome. However, if I saw rude, crude and abusive images posted of them being beaten or raped I would be just as pissed off. In fact here is an article in which a feminist blogger defends Michelle Bachman. http://feministing.com/2011/08/17/bachmann-sexism-watch-get-this-conserv... This blogger completely disagrees with Bachman's political views but feels that she should be discredited via a political argument, not calling in to question her sexuality or creating sexualized imagery from something as innocuous as her eating a hot dog. My point is that as a general consensus amongst feminists, we generally agree that abuse against any woman regardless of whether or not we agree with her personal views is not OK.
Are you really so stupid as to believe just because someone you deem as more important is also under sexist attacks that the attacks on someone else don't matter?
So, let me get this straight. You're reading from a source that you directly identify as "leftist," with a disdain that clearly identifies you as not being leftist, and you're complaining that this leftist source is not catering to both sides of this imagined fence?
If you want to read about someone creating their own Crocker impression over Sarah Palin, then go look for that. Don't come to a place that you admittedly know does not cover that sort of thing then whine and complain because you're not finding what you want.
You don't go to a bakery and bitch at the baker for not slicing you up a rack of lamb.
Seriously. Get a hold of yourself.
If you want to have a reasonable discussion about how certain stories or topics indicate particular political lean while other stories or topics get left in the dust, then do that, but take five minutes to logically back up whatever claim you're trying to make and be sure that the very foundation of your argument -- which, to underline this again, was that you went somewhere known for Thing A and not for Thing B, then griped that Thing B wasn't there -- isn't made of pudding.
"Sticks and stones may break her bones but words will never hurt her"
Which is of course utter nonsense. Anyone subjected to contact abuse can easily explain the genuine pain they feel. The emotional is a part of our physical selves; unless someone believes in the nonsense idea of soul/body duality (utter disproven by neuroscience since the self is a product of the physical body).
However you are right that we shouldn't feed the trolls. I worry that a lot of the Feminist writing about abuse is fuelling the trolls need for attention. What would be more interesting is to see if some positive writing about men that have decent relationships with women. Basically if the male trolls were ignored and instead the "nice guys" got a little more credit I think the positive reward for good behaviour would diminish the need for negative comment.
More carrot less stick (yes I know they are both phallic).
Or as Tim Minchin put it: "Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart".
No outrage over the multitude over the countless Hit Justin Bieber flash games. The reason why is obvious.
Justin Bieber may seem like a girl, but he isn't. He is not being attacked over sexism, or racism. People just don't like him.
>Justin Bieber may seem like a girl, but he isn't.
Actually, this is the reason there's no outrage. He isn't a girl.
It's fine to make games about beating up males, but females are off-limits.
Sexist hypocrisy at its best.
"It's fine to make games about beating up males, but females are off-limits."
Err.... --> http://skullgirls.com/
He's being targeted due to homophobia, because he isn't "manly" enough. Games about beating him up aren't right either.
So when people write hateful comments on Justin Bieber's Facebook page, make pictures of his "death," perform raids on his youtube videos in an attempt to make "the dislike bar larger than the like bar," use death threats in MULTIPLE forums, Twitters, and other social media that's all fine isn't it.
But the moment someone says anything about Anita, oh no! Trouble!
Being famous on the internet or in real life means you will get shit thrown at you. Do you think Obama broke down, started crying and making blogposts that the republicans were so mean drawing him with big ears? Nope. He dealt with it. Anita should too. Free speech means I can draw a picture of Anita and write all the hateful and spiteful things I want. It also means I can preach what a terrible person she is. Free speech doesn't mean "hey, shut up because you disagree with me!"
"So when people write hateful comments on Justin Bieber's Facebook page, ... that's all fine isn't it."
No, it isn't fine! How do you miss the point so much?

But amongst them all, one stands out – distinctive as a beacon of light in the dark; and named likewise. Known and loved the world over, Jetwing Lighthouse, Galle, embraces a rugged outcrop along the coastline just before the city centre, and is the last unique architectural triumph of Sri Lanka's iconic genius, Geoffrey Bawa. Minimalistic, stately and elegant this inspired creation will captivate you with its unparalleled wonder.
Step in to the hallway and step back five centuries. A dramatic enactment – a historic narrative depicting the 'Battle of Randeniya' spirals upwards. Sweeping alongside the stairway, Portuguese horsemen charge the brave local inhabitants; their fervour immortalized in shimmering copper and bronze envisioned by renowned artist Laki Senanayake. Follow the flight and step out into the lobby, then stand amazed at the vista before you – the astounding beauty of a land the ancient warriors fought to save or gain is now yours to claim, awhile at least.
But yours will be a battle of a far more pleasant kind – how not to indulge too much in all the luxuries you will encounter when you stay with us. The rooms are sumptuous, the cuisine, positively sinful, the pools as vast as the ocean they seem to blend into – and then there is the spa too, and that is bliss beyond compare. But bliss is what you will find at every turn at Jetwing Lighthouse, Galle; a member of Small Luxury Hotels of the world, it is the ultimate tropical retreat of lavish beauty in Sri Lanka.
Did you know that all the hot water and steam required for this hotel's laundry is generated through the use of a biomass boiler?

More copies of this ISBNThe New Weirdby Ann Vandermeer
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This avant-garde anthology that presents and defines the New Weird—a hip, stylistic fiction that evokes the gritty exuberance of pulp novels and dime-store comic books—creates a new literature that is entirely unprecedented and utterly compelling. Assembling an array of talent, this collection includes contributions from visionaries Michael Moorcock and China Miéville, modern icon Clive Barker, and audacious new talents Hal Duncan, Jeffrey Ford, and Sarah Monette. An essential snapshot of a vibrant movement in popular fiction, this anthology also features critical writings from authors, theorists, and international editors as well as witty selections from online debates. Review:"The VanderMeers (Best American Fantasy) ably demonstrate the sheer breadth of the 'New Weird' fantasy subgenre in this powerful anthology of short fiction and critical essays. Highlights include strong fiction by authors such as M. John Harrison, Clive Barker, Kathe Koja and Michael Moorcock whose work pointed the way to such definitive New Weird tales as Jeffrey Ford's 'At Reparata' and K.J. Bishop's 'The Art of Dying.' Lingering somewhere between dark fantasy and supernatural horror, New Weird authors often seek to create unease rather than full-fledged terror. The subgenre's roots in the British New Wave of the 1960s and the Victorian Decadents can lend a self-consciously literary and experimental aura, as illustrated by the 'laboratory,' where more mainstream fantasy and horror authors, including Sarah Monette and Conrad Williams, try their hands at creating New Weird stories. This extremely ambitious anthology will define the New Weird much as Bruce Sterling's landmark Mirrorshades anthology defined cyberpunk."

Get a thicker skin.
It just seems that whenever I turn on the news or read an article someone is highly offended by a comment made. Our acces to every last word has expanded and our sense of humor has waned.

Jul 7 2013: No, absolutely not. I am not suggesting people tolerate every thing they hear. Nor am I advocating that we say any stupid thing on our minds and claim that it is our right to say it. However I do think that intellegent people should be able to weed out what is worth getting upset over and what is not.
Just because their is an internet and just about everyone has access to post response to every last subject does not mean they need to. Not everything you hear is all that bad. Do you really want to spend your days and nights criticizing people for every dumb thing they say ?
And finally...yes Ted, the 1st amendment grants freedom of speech and I do have the right to react any way I want but if you don't mind I prefer to go with people say stupid things and that is just the way it is...especially politicians.That does mean they need to issue public apologies that have no chance of being accepted by people who would prefer to be angry.
However, if you feel up to it, we can wire your life to an open mic and call you out on every last thing you say that might have a chance to have been taken two ways.-
Comment deleted
Jul 8 2013: No, you did not touch any nerves. However you do leave the impression of talking down to people. It must have been the "Eh" that did it. That and how you have responded to others here.
My thiught is the same, people should try to let things slide a little more and not try to correct everyone and everything,
Relax and let some ramble.

Jul 8 2013: "People that make such statements often claim it was a joke or meant to be humorous but in reality it was designed to offend ..."
That's one perspective, but sometimes it actually is a joke, or have you never heard a black comedian use the "N-word"?
We're witnessing the current double-standard on what is considered PC with regard to the "N-word". Apparently it's acceptable for a black person to use the "N-word" but racist for Paula Deen to use it.
Is it so degrading a word that it must be redacted from future printings of Mark Twain's works? All while rappers incorporate it into their songs?
Is it only the squeakiest wheel that gets the grease? What of the American Indians who want terms like "squaw" to be redacted from texts and movies?
Or a woman's group who wants to change the names of such things as the 'Grand Tetons because it means big breasts?
Is it the individual who needs to develop a thicker skin or groups as a whole?
Personally I like knowing people are sensitive enough to be offended ... I'd just like a little equality in that they are also sensitive enough not to offend.-
Comment deleted
Jul 8 2013: "The N word or Nigger "
It was unnecessary, offensive, insensitive and non-PC of you to write the word out when everyone knows what the "N-word" signifies.
"The motivation of the speaker and context determines if a word or phrase was used to offend."
Yes and sometimes that motivation is easily misconstrued.
Mark Twain didn't use the word to offend, but it's still been determined to remove the word from future printings of Huckleberry Finn. Something quite offensive about that. Perhaps a topic for another day.
Jul 8 2013: Chris, being Jewish and fat I heard prety much all the good stuff. One thing I have learned is tha t no much how you try to correct people it rarely happens. I eealized that when a drunk really thought he could feel my horns. If I beat him through the floor it would have been That f....n Jew. And if he beat me it would have been the same thing.
Now when I posted this it was not meant for peolle to use the extremes to make their point. Let'j ust stay with all the crap we hear in between. How much of thst do you think people over-react to ?-
Jul 8 2013: People will react according to their own paradigm.
Whether it's an over-reaction is not for me to determine; no one can insult you without your permission, yes?
A wise man once told me "there is too much freedom in this country" ... meaning people often abuse their freedoms.
Another wise man, Don Miguel Ruiz, writes "Take nothing personally."
Personally I am not an advocate of the thicker skin concept; I prefer people who are sensitive ... it means they're still capable of empathy. There are enough callous "thick skinned" (and thick headed) people.
Comment deleted
Jul 8 2013: Yes we all know the word it means. That's why it is considered "PC" to replace it with the abbreviation for it, i.e., the "N-word" ... you know ... so as not to use the actual word because despite the intention or motivation of the person using the word, the word itself is offensive, or did you miss the memo?
Strike three, TED FRIEND! You're out.
Comment deleted
Jul 9 2013: "This is the the third time I have explained that and you should have gotten it by now."
Can you give me a reason why you're being so obnoxious with this rude tone of animosity?
It's not that I don't get it ... you're repeating yourself as if it's going to change my mind. Ever heard Einstein's definition of insanity?
From my perspective, you've been exhibiting an inability or unwillingness to understand this from a perspective that has nothing to do with the "speakers motivation and context that determines intent".
Intent isn't the issue when someone feels offended. "Intentions pave the road to perdition."
A comedian intends to make people laugh ... but if they're using the N-word with said intent, and someone in the audience is offended by that word, neither motivation, context nor intent matters to the person who is offended.
Should that person develop a thicker skin about the offensive word? Or should the comedian find a way to be humorous without using that word?
Please don't bother to respond if you cannot keep a civil tone conducive to conversation..

By Catherine Pritchard Staff writer
She's baaaack.
Former Fayetteville resident Candice Woodcock Cody is among 20 people competing for $1 million on the 27th season of "Survivor," which premieres Sept. 18.
This will be her third time on the reality show where players face physical, mental and social challenges in the wilderness.
But the longtime reality show will feature new twists. Probably the biggest one is that the competitors will be competing with - and against - their loved ones. Candice is bringing her husband, John.
In an online video featuring the pair, Candice Cody sits beside her husband on a beach and is also shown sitting on his back as he does pushups in the sand.
"John will stab you in the front," she says. "And I'll stab you in the back."
John Cody grins as his wife speaks.
The show, themed "Blood vs. Water," includes nine other "Survivor" veterans, each of whom is accompanied by a relative or significant other. The show brings back "Redemption Island," where ousted players can try to earn a chance to return to the game. Meanwhile, if an ousted player's loved one remains in the game, that person will have to choose whether to trade places.
"Anything that complicates the game I like," says show host Jeff Probst in the promo.
Cody, a 30-year-old anesthesiology resident in Washington, D.C., grew up in Fayetteville and graduated from Terry Sanford High School in 2001 and from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2005. Her parents, Michael and Debbie Woodcock, still live here. He is an ophthalmologist and owns Carolina Vision Center.
Dr. Michael Woodcock said Wednesday he has no idea what happened on the show, which finished taping in June. But he said that based on his daughter's experience on the show and the couple's smarts and abilities, he would be "very surprised if one of them doesn't win."
He said the couple gave no hints when they came to Fayetteville after taping ended to pick up their two miniature schnauzers.
But Michael Woodcock noted their appearance.
"They didn't look fat. I'll tell you that," he said, referring to the weight loss that occurs with contestants who go deep into the game.
In 2006, when Cody made her first appearance on "Survivor: Cook Islands," Michael Woodcock said the family had been fans of the show since its debut in 2000. In that season, Cody - then a graduate student and not yet married - made it to the jury. A member of her alliance, Yul Kwon, won. Kwon, a resident of California, later traveled to Fayetteville to have Michael Woodcock do his Lasik eye surgery.
She returned to the show in 2010 to compete in its 20th season, "Heroes vs. Villains," but again made it only as far as the jury. That season's winner happened to be Fayetteville resident Sandra Diaz-Twine, the only "Survivor" player to ever win the game twice.
To compete that season, Cody, then a third-year medical student, had to postpone her wedding. That ended up taking place on May 1, 2010.
John Cody, like his wife, is a physician, but is with the Army in orthopedic surgery. He's a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy at West Point and received his medical degree from Georgetown University, where his wife received her master's in physiology and biophysics. She's now attending medical school at George Washington University.
Besides Cody and Diaz-Twine, there have been two other "Survivor" contestants over the years with Cape Fear region ties. Pine Forest High School graduate Crystal Cox competed on the show in 2008, and Moore County resident Jane Hammett-Bright, competed in 2010.
The 27th season will feature past season winners Aras Baskaukas and Tina Wesson and frequent competitor Rupert Boneham, who didn't win any of the three seasons he competed in but was awarded $1 million based on fan votes.

HONOLULU (AP) — The Pro Bowl is returning to Hawaii.
The Hawaii Tourism Authority board voted 9-1 on Friday to accept the NFL's offer to return to the islands.
The 10-member board rejected two previous proposals, but under mounting pressure, reconsidered its latest refusal to have the all-star game played at Aloha Stadium in 2011 and 2012 for $4 million a year.
Lt. Gov. James "Duke" Aiona testified in favor of returning the Pro Bowl, saying "Hawaii is the Pro Bowl."
The same proposal was rejected a week ago by the board. The NFL then turned down the state's offer to renegotiate another deal.

A feast of colors is what the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden is.
The Sundays of August are for free, and a lot of children add to the colors and vibrance of the garden.
Today, let´s do something different: send the colors away of the photographs, and bring out with desaturation the key shapes, lines, and a sense of mystery, something more symbolic and evocative.
Many people still love black & white photographs. Do you?

Unemployment benefits to change at end of year
At the end of this month, the state's unemployed will only be able to collect benefits for up to 26 weeks.By: By Lindsey Moon, Wisconsin Public Radio, Superior Telegram
Wisconsin residents can currently collect unemployment benefits for up to 63 weeks through a combination of state and federal programs. But at the end of this month, the state's unemployed will only be able to collect benefits for up to 26 weeks.
Since 2008, the federal government has been providing funding to increase the length of time a person is eligible to collect unemployment. But that program expires at the end of this year. Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development spokesman John Dipko says that means around 40,000 Wisconsin residents will lose unemployment benefits in about three and a half weeks.
"All emergency unemployment compensation benefits are set to end the week ending Dec. 29," he said. "After that date, the benefits will no longer be available, and individuals who are in those extension programs will have reached their maximum eligibility."
Dipko says it's up to Congress to decide whether or not to extend the program or to let it expire. On average, Wisconsin residents collect unemployment for about 17 weeks.
