Leon Golub, L'homme du Palmyre, 1962
I think I have cracked the Ryan Gosling code.
The line between "hipster" culture and "jock" culture is starting to fade.
Suddenly hipsters are into organized sports and find once indie girls, now "overrated". Suddenly jocks and business bros are active in Williamsburg on a Saturday night and are into bands like Wild Beasts and Tallest Man on Earth. I was once at a bar in Philly when a Neutral Milk Hotel song came on the speakers and this group of drunk pink polos started grabbing at each other, high fiving each other and generally being obnoxious as they sang along, bud lites in hand and eyes tightly closed.
"This song is the the fucking best, man. I love the album."
In "hipster" culture, its ironic to wear a baseball cap and drink beer at a sports bar while suddenly being interested in hockey. For jocks its finally cool to admit that there is more to life than the Dallas Cowboys, cars and boobs (but not a whole lot more). Being indie is sexy and main stream now. The 80s are over. The cold business brat is over. Being cool, is uncool.
I personally welcome the change. The sooner "hipster" generation gets over them selves and admits that they never heard of The Shins until they saw Garden State, and jocks can open up and write poetry, the sooner I can come out and say that I read mostly the Post over the Times because it has more pictures in it.
And that's why Ryan Gosling is so perfect right now. He is the perfect mix between tender heart, silent creative genius and Brooklyn speaking buff jock. He is a hybrid of what everyone wants to be. Take off the glasses and the ukulele and he really is just a very very talented good looking buff Hollywood DUDE. But add the band, the masculine nonchalant necklace and a dog and you've got an ARTIST.
Mari nails current culture!
slow clap!

"Having the option" never hurt anyone.
You can produce SDAs, and use them if you wish,
AND you can NOT open executables that arrived in
your mailbox and you don't trust.
Yes, you can. Unfortunately, people in general does not tend to have such
good securitypractices. Encryption is a step towards better security, but
using encryption that forces the receiver to execute a possibly malicious
program based only upon trust in the sender, and that the message was not
modified on its way over the Internet is a real problem..
Maybe it would help with a program that verifies that a program really is
an SDA, but that sort makes the whole idea of an SDA rather useless. What
was appealing with an SDA in the first place was that the receiver of an
SDA did not have to have PGP to decrypt the file.
Even when you have ultimate trust on the sender, and even when yoy have
verified that the sender did send a message containing an SDA, you can
not be sure. The message may have been modified on its way..
This could of course be easily verified if the message was PGP signed,
but since there (fortunately!) still is no such thing as Self Verifying
E-mail the receiver would have to have PGP, and therefore a normal PGP
encrypted archive could have been sent instead!
"Having the option" does not hurt the advanced users that are aware of the
potential securitythreats. They probably already have PGP, and hopefully
would not trust, or send, an SDA.
SDAs are appealing to many, who thinks using an encryption-program is too
complicated. The point-and-click generation of computer (l)users that is.
Security has become a buzz-word nowadays though, so many would probably
like the idea of using encryption without the fuzz.
For this group of people, encryption implies security, they will probably
have more trust in an SDA than a "regular" executable (of course, there is
no real difference).
It's madness to say that it is a "security threat".
With your logic, e-mailing is a security threat as well ;-)
Who knows what you can send over e-mail !
Embedded code in anything but programs (scripts included) is a threat.
Òne should be able to know exactly which files that contains executable
code. With Unix, that is usually any executables, the kernel and system
libraries. With Windows, the limits expand every day it seems.
Take care,

What Does Taming Big Data Really Cost?
By Bill Franks, Sep 11, 2013
I've written in the past about the hype that surrounds big data. Perhaps one of the most ridiculous urban legends out there today is that working with big data is cheap. This myth is largely driven by the fact that some big data tools, such as Hadoop, don't come with a license fee.
Before I get started, let me be clear on one thing. Open source products such as Hadoop have many uses and can play important roles in the development of analytic processes. Plus, us stats geeks love to download useful software for free just like anyone else. Who doesn't want free stuff? The key is to look at what it will cost in total to actually use that software in the context in which you plan to use it. If you aren't careful to take into account the entire spectrum of costs for your analytic platform, you might just find yourself going way over your planned budget.
Many Price Is Right winners have learned the hard way that their "free" RV came with a large tax bill and heavy ongoing maintenance and operational costs. If you can't handle those costs, then winning an RV isn't as exciting as it seems. Similarly, getting a free puppy leads to a lot of ongoing work, as well as costs for food, vets, and myriad other items. It isn't that winning an RV, or getting a puppy, or deciding to leverage Hadoop is a bad thing. It is simply a matter of being sure you understand what you're committing to.
Look Beyond License Fees
Regardless of what you pay for your software, license fees are but the beginning of the overall cost of operation for an analytic platform. Other costs include:
- The hardware that the software will be installed on
- The space taken and power used by the hardware
- Configuring & implementing security, resource prioritization, and other operational features
- Acquiring, loading, and making data ready for use
- Developing analytic processes on your platform
- The latency between requests and results being delivered
- Maintaining the platform
- Training staff to use and configure the platform
- Consultants needed for any part of implementation
Certainly there are other costs, but the point should be clear. You can't simply look at any one factor when determining your costs and deciding which direction to go. A simple comparison of license fees or cost per server won't lead you to the right decision. In addition, it is also important to look at total cost over the expected life of the platform. Saving on license fees can lower first year costs, but if ongoing costs are more expensive, that can be more than made up for over time.
I believe that the most often underestimated line items relate to the man hours required from employees or consultants to actually stand up, configure, utilize, and maintain an environment. It is absolutely critical to account for these costs. This is one area, for example, that Hadoop can run up your bill. It is a newer, maturing technology that few people are yet familiar with. This leads to a steep learning curve. Again, this isn't to say the learning curve can't be worth it. I am simply saying that you have to recognize and account for it.
One of the best discussions I have seen on this topic is a recent paper from Richard Winter at Winter Corp. I encourage you to download and read his report. In it, he develops a framework and provides some examples that lead to very different conclusions on where to invest based on the profile of the data being targeted and the analytics required. He shows how in some cases, Hadoop is a solid fit and in others it doesn't fit well at all. That's also true with other technologies. As always, it comes down to what you need to do.
As Teradata states with its Unified Data Architecture, there is a place for Hadoop and other open source products. There is also a place for commercial technologies such as Teradata. Each has a unique total cost profile based upon the type and volume of processing required. By focusing on your total costs, you'll be better able to allocate your resources over time and you'll ensure that the right tools and technologies are being used in the right ways.
If you're reading this, your action item is to make sure your organization is considering all the costs it will incur over time in order to make a solid, appropriate decision as to what tools and technologies serve what roles in your environment. Otherwise, you'll make it harder for your organization to tame big data.

Zeppelin Over Jerusalem
The German airship LZ127 Graf Zeppelin was in service from 1928 to 1937. Two of it's 590 flights were over Jerusalem. The first occurred on March 26, 1929. It was a night flight, during which they dropped mail into the German colony at Jaffa. The second flight, pictured above, was from Cairo on April 11, 1931. The ship hovered above the Church of Holy Sepulchre for several minutes.

The Denver Nuggets have started a new streak. They beat the Los Angles Lakers to give them their second straight win. It is nice that the team is finally winning, and they are now only one game away from being .500. The Lakers struggled for most of the night, and it was expected. They have been without their key players all year long, and have been greatly disappointed. However, the Nuggs got the win, and finally have some momentum going forward.
The Nuggets were able to score 137 points last night. The Lakers have been pretty awful on the defensive side of the ball this year, but to the Nuggets credit, 137 points is impressive. Finally, the bench got things going and make a difference. Nate Robinson led the Nuggets in scoring with 21, and Timofey Mosgov had 20 off the bench. Another player who has been solid off the bench has been Evan Fournier, and he 12 last night. The Nuggets bench is deep and talented, and when they contribute, they Nuggs win games.
The starters also played great last night. Ty Lawson had 20 and 12, and Kenneth Faried finally stepped up. The forward has been struggling to score this season, but he was able to post a double-double. Faried finished with 17 and 13, and hopefully this is a sign of things to come. I predicted Wilson Chandler to have a good game last night and he did just that. Chandler had 17, and it appears that the Nuggets high scoring ways could be back.
The Lakers are an odd team to say the least this year. They were led in scoring by Pau Gasol who had 25. Aside from Pau, the rest of the team is just different from what we are used to seeing out in LA. Jodie Meeks had 23, and Nick Young had 21 off the bench. Also having a good game for the Lakers was recently added Kendall Marshall. Marshall was recently singed from the Delaware 87ers and he has been making the most of the opportunity. He has been getting solid minutes, and was able to hand out 17 dimes in last nights game.
Hopefully, the Nuggets have figured things out, and a nice stretch of basketball is ahead. Maybe Andre Miller was an issues in the locker room since the team has been doing well since he left the team. While that could just be a guess, maybe the Nuggets improved bench play is the reason why they are playing much better. Whatever the reason is, we will find out if the Nuggets are ready to play when they take on the Boston Celtics tomorrow night.

"It's guaranteed to bring tears and laughter to popular audiences, and those who turn up their muzzles at it are on a canine to nothing." Phillip French, The Observer
A lone mutt strays into a dusty, depressed town in the outback and proceeds to endear himself to everyone with his big heart and courage. This based-on-a-true-story feature was the runaway success of 2011, the biggest winner at the Australian box office and it proceeded to delight world-wide! Recently voted one of Australia's top ten films of all time, the beguiling Red Dog is based on Louis de Bernières' novella about the real-life travels of a much-loved Kelpie dog through a mining region in western Australia in the 1970s.
Starring Josh Lucas (American Psycho) and Rachael Taylor, this disarming film tells the old-fashioned story of a dog who became a much-loved member of an extraordinary community of grifters; set against the phenomenal beauty of the Australian outback.

Tina "Tink" Belle || 16|| Troublemaker || Hometown: Baltimore Maryland || FC: Candice Accola || Closed || Track: X-men
Bio: No one knows why Tina was born smaller than average. She just was. Born to a local police officer and his wife, a cafe owner, they lived in the suburbs of Baltimore, their lives quiet…. that is, until Tink was 11. During the school day, her parents got a call from the school, saying that a boy who had picked on her during that year, was found shaking on top of the school. When asked how he got there, he refused to talk, until witnesses pointed out that Tink had something to do with it. When called in, the young boy screamed, running down the hall. She was pulled out of school for the day, her parents asking her how she did it.
Instead of saying anything, she snapped and the light broke behind them. Realizing that their daughter had abilities that most were incapable of, they sent her to a lab first, to see if there was an explanation. However, one of the days that Tina stayed there, she came across an experiment that altered a few aspects of her body: wings sprouted from her back as she screamed in pain and her reflex time and speed increased.
Knowing that their daughter was different and hearing from a friend of a special school for children like her, Tina was sent to the academy, where she is to learn how to control her powers. Though she refused to leave, things flying as she was dragged out of the house, her mom and dad have hope for her.
Abilities: Mystokinesis, flight, telekinesis, heightened speed and reflexes.
Leah || 15 (actually thousands of years old) || Troublemaker || Hometown: Asgard || FC: Alexandra Daddario || OPEN ||
Bio: A servant of Hela, Leah was initially tasked with assisting Loki against the forces of the Serpent. After the Serpent was defeated, Leah was left on Earth, with Loki arranging for her to stay in a cave near Asgard, much to her chagrin. She had assisted the de-aged God of Mischief several times, mostly using her magic powers since Loki doesn't have his anymore.
She wasn't pleased with Hela's decision of staying in Asgard to assist Loki and she continuously remains cold and insults the Trickster. However, Loki stated that she was going to be his BFF, much to her confusion, and usually took her with him to Broxton and shared with her what he liked from Midgard, such as milkshakes and the Internet. He once stated that she was the coolest person in the Nine Realms.
It was hinted that she may have romantic feelings for Loki, though she denied it fiercely. Nevertheless, she appeared to be very protective of Loki as seen when she threw a human bully out a window with only one arm, after he had threatened to beat up Loki. Also, as a Dead's Keeper, she didn't need to sleep so she usually watched Loki's room all night. It was also mentioned that they might have kissed.
Abilities: Asgardian Sorcery
Stephen Vincent Strange aka Doctor Strange || 50 (Actually around 100 years) || Sorcery Teacher || Hometown: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania || FC: Timothy Olyphant || OPEN ||
Bio: Stephen Strange was born to Eugene and Beverly Strange in 1930 while the couple was vacationing in Philadelphia. In 1932 Stephen's sister Donna was born at the family's Nebraska farm. Knowing that Strange was destined to become the next Sorcerer Supreme, resentful apprentice sorcerer Karl Mordo beset the child with demons from the age of eight through to adulthood, as he was jealous a kid would be better than him. Ultimately Strange was rescued by Mordo's master, the Ancient One, mystic protector of the Earth-realm as the current Sorcerer Supreme. A year or two after this torment began, Stephen's brother, Victor, was born. At age eleven Strange aided an injured Donna, an experience which ultimately fostered an interest in medicine. Strange entered New York College as a pre-med directly out of high school. Later, while home on vacation for his nineteenth birthday, Strange was swimming with Donna when she suffered a cramp. After a frantic search Stephen found her already drowned. The experience left him with a sense of personal failure that eroded his medical idealism.
Stephen earned his medical degree in record time and entered a five-year residency at New York Hospital, where his rapid success made him arrogant. Stephen's mother Beverly died near the end of his residency, and work became more and more impersonal for the bereaved surgeon. Strange's talent remained, however, and he became a wealthy and celebrated neurosurgeon before he turned thirty. Egotistical and greedy, cold and callous, Strange's interest in his patients generally began and ended at his bill. The exception was Madeleine Revell, an injured United Nations translator whom he saved and fell in love with. Following a whirlwind romance and proposal, she left him due to his increasingly materialistic nature. Two years after his mother's death, Strange's father, Eugene also fell ill. Already crippled by grief over his mother's death (though he would never admit it), Stephen was unable to face any more tragedy, and refused to visit Eugene's deathbed. A few days later, an outraged Victor confronted Stephen in his apartment over his apparent lack of grief. Following the confrontation, Victor rushed from the apartment and into the path of an oncoming car. Victor died, and a guilt-wracked Stephen placed Victor's body in cold storage, half-hoping that future breakthroughs could revive him.
Around 1963, Strange was involved in a debilitating car accident. Though surgeons were able to save Strange, the nerves in his hands were severely damaged. With his surgical career over and too vain to accept positions as a consultant or assistant, Strange exhausted his fortune following every rumored treatment, no matter how ineffective. In a matter of months the once wealthy surgeon became a derelict, and resorted to performing a number of shady medical procedures to survive (and pay his growing bar tabs). Strange's guilt over the mistakes of his early life would come to weigh heavily upon him over the years, and his recollections of the time could not always be trusted.
After hearing rumors of the mystical Ancient One, Strange pawned his last possessions for a ticket to the East. Strange found the Ancient One's Tibetan palace, but the aged sorcerer refused to cure him, instead offering to teach him in mysticism. Strange refused, but couldn't leave immediately due to a sudden blizzard. While staying for the duration of the storm, Strange witnessed the Ancient One's apprentice, Baron Mordo, secretly attack the teacher with mystically summoned skeletons, which the old man easily dispeled. Strange, his skepticism eroding, confronted Mordo about the treachery but Mordo responded with restraining spells that kept Strange from warning the Ancient One or attacking Mordo physically. Amazed by these displays of magic, Strange underwent a change of heart. Deciding that the only way to stop Mordo was to learn magic himself in order to challenge Mordo on his terms, Strange accepted the Ancient One's offer. Pleased by Strange's acceptance for unselfish reasons, the Ancient One removed the mystic restraints, explaining that he was well aware of Mordo's treachery but prefered to keep Mordo close by in order to control and possibly change him.
The Ancient One had known of Strange and his potential to serve as the Sorcerer Supreme prior to even Strange's first encounter with him, regarding his hidden prowess so highly that he rejected Damien Hellstrom for Strange as his pupil. The Ancient One had planned to make Dr. Strange his successor.
Strange studied magic under the Ancient One for seven years and returned to the United States in the 1970s. Strange became a mystic consultant, establishing his Sanctum Sanctorum in New York's Greenwich Village. He was attended by Wong, latest in a centuries-old bloodline that had served the Ancient One, and who had became both Strange's servant and his friend.
Abilities: Doctor Strange is one of the most powerful sorcerers in existence. Like most sorcerers, he draws his power from three primary sources: the invocation of powerful mystic entities or objects, the manipulation of the universe's ambient magical energy, and his own psychic resources. Strange's magical repertoire includes energy projection and manipulation, matter transformation, animation of inanimate objects, teleportation, illusion-casting, mesmerism, thought projection, astral projection, dimensional travel, time travel and mental possession, to name a few. The full range of his abilities is unknown. Doctor Strange's powers are sometimes less effective against strictly science-based opponents, although he can overcome this limitation with effort.
|Could you by any chance get a Doctor Strange bio? I think some of the people here need his help......
I defiantly will!
Odin Borson || Centuries Old || Vistior (Parent) || Hometown: Asgard || FC: Anthony Hopkins || OPEN ||
Bio: Odin the All-Father's true origin was shrouded in mystery, often only delivered in short stories by Odin himself. Odin was presumed to be the son of Bor (father, one of the first Asgardians) and Bestla (mother, a mountain giantess). Bor and Bestla had two other sons, Vili and Ve. According to myth and legend, Vili, Ve, and Odin journeyed into the realm of Surtur when they were younger. Vili and Ve sacrificed themselves to allow Odin to escape from Surtur's realm. Upon their deaths, Odin's own godly attributes were increased as a result of his brother's powers joining with his. Recently, the Serpent was released from a prison under the oceans claiming to be the elder brother of Odin.
Odin is the father of Thor , and the adoptive father of Loki, whom he took as his own after he his father, the Storm Giant Laufey had fallen in battle.
As with other Asgardians born after Buri, Odin and his pantheon had undergone several reincarnation over the millenia. The earliest recorded reference to the Asgardian pantheon took place around 10,000 BCE, when Odin and several of his kinsmen were invoked by humans.
Odin, the son of Bor, the grandson of Buri, had many unrecorded adventures. Among these were his battle against Rimthursar (which preceded Thor's birth), the battle with Kryllik and his trolls, his encounter with Fear and Desire, meeting Millennius, his defeat of the Mangog, and the imprisonment of a snow giant.
Odin was often accompanied by his ravens Hugin (Thought) and Munin (Memory), and well as the wolves Freki (Greedy) and Geri (Ravenous).
At one point, Odin decided that it was time for his son Thor to learn humility. Odin had Thor surrender his hammer to him, and then sent him to Earth in the mortal guise of a crippled young teenage student named Donald Blake, stripped of his memory (again) of his true identity. As Blake, Thor learned the value of humble perseverance in dealing with his injured leg, and he came to care for the sick and dying. After Thor had spent a few years in the role of Blake, Odin planted within Blake's mind the suggestion to take a vacation in Norway. There Blake encountered a party of alien Kronans, also known as the Stone Men from Saturn, and rediscovered his magical hammer Mjolnir.
Odin continued to take a great interest in his son's life, even though there was often friction between them because of Thor's love for Earth and its inhabitants. When Thor fell in love with Jane Foster, Odin disapproved and went to great lengths to break the relationship: He sent Loki to persuade the Enchantress to travel to Earth and seduce Thor, and when that failed, Odin even traveled to Earth himself, which caused Loki to abuse his absence to try and claim the Asgardian throne for himself.
Abilities: Odin possessed all the conventional attributes of an Asgardian God. However, as the King of the Asgardians, many of these attributes were significantly superior than those possessed by the majority of his race.

Terrified bank customers fled in terror when this hapless driver in central China made a quick crash deposit.
The 46-year-old driver told police she'd mixed up the brake and the accelerator as she was parking outside the branch in Wuhan, Hubei province, sending her Skoda saloon sailing straight through a window.
"Everyone thought the bank was being held up. We thought we were all going to die," said one customer.
Police and firefighters managed to roll the car back onto the road while its shocked driver was booked for dangerous driving.
"One customer was injured and she had to compensate the bank for the damage she caused," said a police spokesman.

Most of use some form of technology everyday. From our cell phones to even watching television, there are countless things we all do. Something you might not think about is what makes all these devices work.
They're large radio and television towers that send out special frequencies.
Tower Technician, Brian Schunk says these towers are crucial to everyday life, even if they make his job a bit more difficult.
"I love the heights, love doing what other people think is nuts," says Schunk.
Brian has been a tower technician for over 18 years. The job is simple; make sure that the rest of society can stay in touch.
"Most people don't even see these towers. We are the ones behind and we make sure to keep it all working- and make sure the phones still work."
What's not so easy, climbing hundreds of feet, with over 40 pounds of gear strapped to your body.
We were able to get an up-close and personal look at exactly what Brian deals with while heading up the tower.
Monday's job was installing a large camera on the Rib Mountain State Park tower, 400 feet up.
To some, this may seem impossible and terrifying, but for these guys, it's just another day on the job
"I love my work. I stopped doing it for awhile and I had to get back into it," says Schunk.
It's a good thing people like Brian enjoy their work, because without them, the rest of us would be in trouble.
"Our job is really important. It's to keep up TV, cell phones, radios and emergency communications."
The tower technicians perform a variety of jobs from simple fixes to installation and wiring.
Regardless what the job is, each day always has one thing in common.
"Being out in the open and being able to do things other people would never do is a rush."
They might get a rush at 400 feet, but seeing them work the ground gives you a greater appreciation for the devices, and technology we all take for granted.

Every inch of what's good in me.

Slurp and taste
The waste of what's left in me.
Yes, it's happening.
The roar of truth is deafening.
That's not my name.
But a title that frames
All my greatest mistakes
Sprawled out in front of me.
It's sickening
This isn't how it's meant to be.
I tried my best to come clean.

And planning my blows.
Putting bulls-eyes on those

Why is MTV Promoting Ex-Gay Therapy?
MTV recently aired an episode of True Life that focused on ex-gay ministries. The episode, subtitled, "I Want to Be Straight," highlights the story of two teens as they struggle to change their sexual orientation.
Instead of telling viewers about the dangers of these conversion therapies though, the network turned it into a puff piece that could have been produced by Marcus Bachmann or Focus on the Family.
To make matters worse, they've done a follow-up with one of the subjects that's posted to their blog. Again, it's like a pitch for kids to find Jeebus and pray away the gay.
disagree. i think they're just showing ppl who have gone through ex-gay therapy and accept it and become ex-gay. it happens, it's real, and mtv is showing another side of the 20-something. not everyone is open, honest with themself, or ok with being gay. some ppl never come out. some ppl come out after they're married with kids and think they got rid of the gay.

|Ligier JS1
|Image gallery (7)
Page 1 of 1
After a successful career as a rugby player in the French national team, Guy Ligier turned to motor racing. He entered Formula 1 in 1966, but withdrew from active racing two years later after a heavy accident and the fatal crash of his close friend Jo Schlesser. At that time Ligier had already commissioned the construction of a new sportscar to take on Porsche's successful 911. The project was temporarily halted, but when the design team was joined by ex-Renault engineer Michel Tetu early in 1969, it was back on track.
At the Paris Motorshow in September Guy Ligier unveiled the JS1, named after his late friend. Reflecting the political situation, the JS1 was a true European car, with a British engine, French chassis and Italian designed body. Inspired by the Lotus Europa, the new Ligier featured a steel backbone chassis, which was suspended by double wishbones front and back. Power came from a mid mounted Cosworth FVA Formula 2 engine, displacing close to 1.6 litre. The package was completed with a Pietro Frua penned fiberglass body.
Guy Ligier competed in a single race in 1969, where he forced to retire with a broken enginemount. For 1970 the 220 bhp FVA engine was replaced by the slightly larger FVC 'four', good for 240 bhp. Victories were scored in races on Albi and Montlhery. For the 24 Hours of Le Mans Ligier teamed up with Jean Claude Andruet, but the JS1 was forced to retire eight hours in the race with distributor problems. The JS1 had proven to be very quick in qualifying, beating other cars powered by the same engine with a fair margin and claiming a thirteenth qualifying position.
For the 1970 Tour de France, Ligier prepared two JS1s, both powered by a Ford V6 engine. The first car was equipped with a 2.4 litre Weslake prepared engine and the other with the regular 2.6 litre version also found in the Ford Capri. To make room for the bigger engines, the chassis was lengthened considerably. The Hewland gearbox used together with the Cosworth engines did not fit the V6s and was replaced by a Citroen SM derived five speeder. Both cars failed to finish, having been forced to retire with engine problem.
This was the end of the line for the JS1 after just three cars were constructed. For road use Ligier launched the Maserati engined JS2 exactly a year after the JS1 and for competition use the Cosworth DFV powered JS3 was prepared for 1971. Sadly none of the three JS1s found a caring owner after its active career. Fortunately the featured example was saved and has benefited from a meticulous restoration between 1999 and 2004. It is the second JS1 constructed, which competed at Le Mans and victoriously at Montlhery.
Returned to its Tour de France specification, the restored JS1 made its debut at the 2004 Retromobile show. In the 2004 historic racing season, it competed in the Tour Auto and the Le Mans Classic. It is pictured above competing in both events.

40th Anniversary of the April Revolution April 25, 2014Posted by Garibaldy in Communism.
2 comments
Statement from the Portuguese Communist Party on the 40th anniversary of the April Revolution.
40th. Anniversary of the April Revolution – The Values of April in the Future of Portugal
Quarta 23 de Abril de 2014
Communiqué by the Political Committee Central Committee of the PCP – 22nd April 2014
1. The April Revolution constituted the implementation of the will of the Portuguese people, an affirmation of freedom, social emancipation and national independence.
The April Revolution, culminating a long and heroic anti-fascist struggle, ended 48 years of dictatorship, the colonial war, recognizing the right of independence of the fighting colonized people, the international isolation of Portugal and implemented great political, economic, social and cultural changes that are part of a system and of a regime that opened in the life of the country the prospect of a new period of history marked by freedom and social progress.
The achievement and establishment of freedoms, the rights of the citizens and a regime of political democracy were inseparable from the liquidation of economic and political power of the monopoly groups and landowners, through nationalisations, workers' control and Agrarian Reform and other socio-economic changes indispensable for the development of the country. Facing the conspiracy, sabotage and attempted coups de force by reactionary sectors supported by big capitalists, landowners and foreign imperialism, these changes were furthermore necessary for the defence of freedoms and democracy.
The working class, the workers, the masses and the progressive military – united in the people-MFA [Armed Forces Movement] alliance – played a key role in all democratic achievements, which were later enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic, adopted on April 2, 1976.
The PCP, a decisive party in the struggle for freedom and democracy, intervened in this whole process as an irreplaceable and determining political force. Its role in the April Revolution and the foundation of the democratic regime is inscribed as one of the greatest feats of its history.
The April Revolution showed that it had within itself the strength and the necessary potential to undertake the elimination of most serious inequalities, discriminations and social injustice and to build a new democratic society.
The April Revolution meant a formidable progress of Portuguese society, Its great and historical achievements created the conditions for a dynamic economic, social, political and cultural development in line with the situation, the interests, the needs and aspirations of the Portuguese people and Portugal, all characterising the democratic regime resulting from the Revolution – an advanced democracy on the path to socialism.
Besides its historical significance at the national level, the April Revolution represented a relevant event in contemporary history, with important international repercussions.
Despite its historical achievements, many of its main achievements were, meanwhile, destroyed. Others, although weakened and threatened, remain present in national life. All are landmarks and represent essential values in the present and for the democratic and independent future of Portugal.
The great values of the April Revolution have taken deep roots in Portuguese society and project as realities, objective needs, experiences and aspirations in the democratic future of Portugal.
2 .The 40th Anniversary of the April Revolution takes place at a time when the Portuguese workers and people are facing the deepening assault on their social, economic and cultural rights, as a result of an unacceptable foreign intervention by the European Union and IMF signed with the PS, PSD and CDS, following the SGP (Stability and Growth Pact) by the PS government, that harmed sovereignty and threatens national independence.
The serious situation that Portugal currently lives is inseparable from the right-wing policy pursued over the past 37 years, by successive PS, PSD and CDS governments, which systematically destroyed and fought the changes and progressive achievements of the April Revolution, promoting the reestablishment of the power of monopoly groups and the submission of the country to the European Union, and to imperialism. A policy of increasing exploitation and destruction of the labour and social rights of workers and the Portuguese people, wrecking national production, ruining the economy and launching the country into debt.
At a time when the workers and the Portuguese people mark the 40th Anniversary of the April Revolution, the PCP reasserts its firm commitment and confidence that, with the strength and determination to struggle by the workers and the people, with the converging action of democrats and patriots, it is possible to defeat the PSD/CDS government and the right-wing policy and open the way to build an alternative, patriotic and left-wing policy, affirming the project of the Advanced Democracy, the Values of April in the Future of Portugal, with the the horizon of socialism and communism.
3.The PCP has to express its firm rejection of the attempts to blame the April Revolution – and what this meant and represented in terms of emancipation and social and national progress – for the disastrous consequences of 37 years of counter revolutionary process, in fact, the real responsible for the current course of regression and national decline.
The PCP also rejects the unacceptable and dangerous attempts by those who, pointing their finger at «parties» and placing them all «in same bag» end up by laundering those really responsible for the current course of regression and national decline – the PS , PSD and CDS – helping the offensive against the democratic regime and concealing those who – like the PCP – have firmly and coherently fought for freedom, democracy and the achievements won with the April Revolution, against the right-wing policy that questions them, pointing the alternative to materialize the Values that April stands for.
Similarly, in view of the attempts to rewrite history and erase the nature and real significance of the April Revolution, the PCP stresses that commemorating April is to combat the laundering of the terrorist nature of the fascist dictatorship that oppressed the Portuguese people and murdered, jailed, tortured thousands of democrats and of the dictatorship that intensified the exploitation of the peoples of the colonies and carried out a criminal colonial war, the cause of the crippling and death of thousands of young Portuguese and African patriots.
To celebrate April is to defend and affirm its revolutionary character that not only restored freedom to the people and country, but also accomplished profound political, economic, social and cultural changes. To celebrate April is pay a deserving homage to the April military men for their role in the liquidation of the fascist dictatorship and who, as we all know, have been so mistreated by successive holders of political power over the last 37 years. To celebrate April is to combat the silencing and distortion of the heroic struggle of the workers, democrats and patriots, including, with their relevant role, the Communists.
4. Portugal's future as a democratic, developed, sovereign and independent country, cannot be ensured by maintaining the domination and interests of the forces that brought the country to the serious situation in which it lies.
It is in the defence of democracy and the Constitution of the Republic, important achievements of April, that we find the matrix of a patriotic and left-wing policy, able to ensure the economic and social development of the country, and not its subversion and destruction, as attempted by the political leaders and parties that want to absolve themselves and absolve their political options and practices as causers of the disaster that we find ourselves in.
To the PCP, the celebrations of the 40th Anniversary of the April Revolution should be a time and a moment to affirm on the streets the indignation and refusal of what they are doing to the people and Portugal, its history and its future, a moment of resistance and struggle against this reactionary offensive, against the forces that seek to settle scores with April assaulting democracy, sovereignty, freedom and development of Portugal.
In addition to the participation of the PCP in several initiatives promoted by popular committees, there is the special edition of the «Avante! » on the April Revolution that will be out with the regular paper on April 24. In terms of CDU there will be two major initiatives – on April 26, in Porto (municipality of Vila do Conde) and April 27 in Lisbon (municipality of Loures).
The PCP calls on the workers and the people, the youth, all democrats and patriots to mass with their presence the popular celebrations of the 25th April and the demonstrations of 1st May promoted by CGTP, making them a vigorous affirmation and commitment to demand the resignation of the Government, a rupture with the right-wing policy, for a patriotic and left-wing policy – capable of releasing Portugal from dependence and submission, recovering for the country what belongs to the country, handing back to the workers and the people their rights, wages and earnings – in an unwavering statement of confidence and struggle for the Values of April in Portugal's future.

The Communist Party of the Russian Federation has distributed the following statement.
*Urgent! Communication from the Communist Party of the Russian Federation – The office of the Communist Party of Ukraine has been attacked and
"The developments in Ukraine take the most dramatic character. The CPRF
International department has got the recent news that in Kiev, the capital
of Ukraine, an outrageously behaving gang of well-prepared militants
attacked the head-quarters of the Communist Party of Ukraine. Unknown
bandits attacked the premises of the CPU, broke the windows and damaged
the furniture inside. According to what our comrades told us there are yet
no victims among the communists in the building.
The Central Committee of the CPRF calls upon all the communist and workers' parties of the world to express their protest against the orange-brown intervention aimed at
breaking the integrity of Ukraine and seizing power by a military coup. We
follow the events in the country and as soon as we get the fresh news from
our comrades we shall inform the world community and place it on our site

Communist Manifesto 165 years old today February 21, 2013Posted by doctorfive in Communism.
5 comments
The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.
and Hobsbawm,
How will the Manifesto strike the reader who comes to it today for the first time? The new reader can hardly fail to be swept away by the passionate conviction, the concentrated brevity, the intellectual and stylistic force, of this astonishing pamphlet. It is written, as though in a single creative burst, in lapidary sentences almost naturally transforming themselves into the memorable aphorisms which have become known far beyond the world of political debate: from the opening 'A spectre is haunting Europe — the spectre of Communism' to the final 'The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains. They have a world to win.' Equally uncommon in nineteenth-century German writing: it is written in short, apodictic paragraphs, mainly of one to five lines — in only five cases, out of more than two hundred, of fifteen or more lines. Whatever else it is, The Communist Manifesto as political rhetoric has an almost biblical force. In short, it is impossible to deny its compelling power as literature.
But then, the Manifesto — and this is not the least of its remarkable qualities — is a document which envisaged failure. It hoped that the outcome of capitalist development would be 'A revolutionary reconstitution of society at large' but, as we have already seen, it did not exclude the alternative: 'common ruin'. Many years later, another Marxian rephrased this as the choice between socialism and barbarity. Which of these will prevail is a question which the twenty-first century must be left to answer.

If you liked Red Plenty, then you may find an essay in the latest Jacobin Magazine of interest.
Around the time of the Soviet collapse, the economist Peter Murrell published an article in the Journal of Economic Perspectives reviewing empirical studies of efficiency in the socialist planned economies. These studies consistently failed to support the neoclassical analysis: virtually all of them found that by standard neoclassical measures of efficiency, the planned economies performed as well or better than market economies.
First he reviewed eighteen studies of technical efficiency: the degree to which a firm produces at its own maximum technological level. Matching studies of centrally planned firms with studies that examined capitalist firms using the same methodologies, he compared the results. One paper, for example, found a 90% level of technical efficiency in capitalist firms; another using the same method found a 93% level in Soviet firms. The results continued in the same way: 84% versus 86%, 87% versus 95%, and so on.
In 1989, the dissident Polish reform economists Włodzimierz Brus and Kazimierz Łaski — both convinced socialists and disciples of the distinguished Marxist-Keynesian Michał Kalecki — published a book examining the prospects for East European reform. Both had been influential proponents of democratic reforms and socialist market mechanisms since the 1950s.
Their conclusion now was that in order to have a rational market socialism, publicly-owned firms would have to be made autonomous — and this would require a socialized capital market. The authors made it clear that this would entail a fundamental reordering of the political economy of East European systems – and indeed of traditional notions of socialism. Writing on the eve of the upheavals that would bring down Communism, they set out their vision: "the role of the owner-state should be separated from the state as an authority in charge of administration….[E]nterprises…have to become separated not only from the state in its wider role but also from each other."
Parties of the working class, acutely vulnerable to pressure from below, were in government more than 40% of the time in the postwar decades – compared to about 10% in the interwar years, and almost never before that – and "contagion from the Left" forced parties of the right into defensive acquiescence. Schooling, medical treatment, housing, retirement, leisure, child care, subsistence itself, but most importantly, wage-labor: these were to be gradually removed from the sphere of market pressure, transformed from goods requiring money, or articles bought and sold on the basis of supply and demand, into social rights and objects of democratic decision.
This, at least, was the maximal social-democratic program — and in certain times and places in the postwar era its achievements were dramatic.
But the social democratic solution is unstable — and this is where the Marxist conception comes in, with its stress on pursuit of profit as the motor of the capitalist system.
Fascist Barbarians October 28, 2012Posted by Garibaldy in Communism, Film and Television, History.

So I'm using part of the extra hour to watch a fantastic documentary narrated by Alexei Sayle called Fascist Barbarians about Soviet propaganda cartoons I spotted yesterday on Sky Arts. There's another one that I haven't watched yet called American Imperialists. I don't know if there are more. I suspect but I'm not sure that they come from the DVD collection Animated Soviet Propaganda, of which there seems to be a lot on Youtube. Here's a couple of examples picked at random (both of which are in the documentary)
The visual imagery is stunning, and you can't beat a title like Fascist Jackboots Shall Not Trample Our Motherland. The cartoon images showing Moscow after the victory over the Nazis are particularly good, with the air defences turned into instruments of celebration. All in all great stuff.

Important Article from the KKE on the Situation in Greece July 2, 2012Posted by Garibaldy in Communism, European Politics, KKE.
40 comments
The KKE has published in English an important article by Giorgos Marinos, a member of the Political Bureau of its Central Committee. The article is addressed in part to those who expressed their solidarity with the KKE in advance of the recent elections (see the statement signed by many Communist and Workers' parties here and the WP message here for examples), in part it seeks to respond to the attitude adopted towards the KKE by forces at home and abroad, and in part it seeks to inform those who have questions caused by the debate internationally before the June election. The article is a very clear restatement of the principles and positions of the KKE, in terms of what is needed in Greece now, in terms of what social democracy represents, and in terms of broader ideological and organisational questions facing Communist and Workers' parties worldwide.
In other words, it's a clear restatement of the fundamentals, and how they should be applied in today's world in Greece.
It's a fairly long article, so I'm extracting a few key quotes, and then pasting the whole thing after the break.
We call on the communist men and women, the workers who follow the developments in Greece and are interested in the course of the class struggle to come to a better understanding regarding the strategy and tactics of the KKE, its history and struggles. They should judge its positions based on specific ideological-political criteria and not on rumours and baseless slander. They will then be able to discern that the attack on the strategy of the KKE and its alliance policy and the various laughable claims regarding sectarianism and isolationism have been initiated by bourgeois forces or forces which have in reality rejected Marxist-Leninist principles, the need for socialism, the essence of the class struggle which is meaningful when it is linked to working class-popular power.
They will be able to discern that these forces follow a political line of bourgeois management which is concealed behind talk of a "left solution", sowing illusions about the "humanization of capitalism", with very negative consequences for the struggle of the workers.
The conclusion is that the election result as a whole reflects the tendency of the containment of the class oriented radicalism that developed during the period of crisis, under the pressure of the current of the rising petty-bourgeois radicalism, guided by the bourgeois ideology and propaganda.
The strategy that promises a better future for the working people and the unemployed through a so-called left or progressive government, while the power of capital and the capitalist ownership of the means of production remain intact, is dangerous. This strategy has been tested and been proven to be bankrupt. It led Communist parties into assimilation and even dissolution.
This strategy conceals the fundamental issue. It conceals that the problem of unemployment, which is sharpening in an uncontrolled fashion, cannot be solved as long as the power and the wealth that the working class produces remain in the hands of capitalists, as long as capitalist anarchy and the profit motive exist.
The principled stance of the KKE stresses that a revolutionary party cannot have two faces, cannot not negate its strategy, its struggle for working class-people's power, for socialism in order to snatch votes in parliamentary elections by supporting "management" formations which facilitate the system.
The reduction of the electoral strength of the KKE does not negate the decisive advantages that our party has achieved with a great effort. It does not negate the power it has within the trade unions, the mass organizations, the workers' and people's movement its prestige in the working class, the confidence that the people have in it in the every day struggles regardless of whether it was expressed in the elections.
There are more than enough forces to manage the system. What the people need are real communist parties that will not manage the capitalist barbarity in the name of the "governmental left" and in the name of "realistically" accepting the negative correlation of forces. In this way you pave the way for the forces of capital and precious time is wasted, for which the working class and the popular strata will pay a high price.
Iraqi CP Statement on Recent Murders of Several Members June 22, 2012Posted by Garibaldy in Communism, Iraq.
2 comments
Iraq has slipped way down the media's list of priorities, and we don't hear a lot of what's going on there. So posting this statement from the Iraqi Communist Party via the Iraqi Letter blog as a reminder.
"The Political Bureau of the Iraqi Communist Party strongly condemned yet another heinous crime committed by terrorists, the enemies of the Iraqi people, targeting a gathering of mourners at a funeral in the town of Shufta, east of the city of Baqouba, in Diyala province, on 18th June 2012.
The cowardly bombing killed 22 people and left more than 35 injured. The victims included several members and supporters of the Iraqi Communist Party.
A statement issued by the Political Bureau said: "We have stressed repeatedly that narrow partisan and selfish conflicts among the dominant political blocs, and the state of impasse in the political situation, that have nothing to do with the interests of the people and the country, will have a negative impact on the already fragile security situation. This situation results in significant and serious loopholes through which terrorists and militia thugs would easily penetrate, leading to the loss of more victims and innocent lives. It is as if Iraqi blood has become cheap, not only to the terrorist murderers, but also to those who are supposed to protect the lives of people and maintain their security and property."
"We strongly condemn this barbaric criminal act. And once again we call upon the ruling forces and parties to put an end to their unprincipled conflicts, and demand that the government and its military and security organs assume their responsibilities fully and strike hard at the criminals, the enemies of life and humanity, regardless of whatever cover they have! Full protection must be provided to the Iraqi people, of all social strata, religions, sects and ethnicities."
The Political Bureau statement expressed deepest condolences to the families of martyrs, and wished the wounded speedy recovery.

I miss this school! My daughter went here for one year, and I always liked it but it wasn't until we moved and enrolled in a different school that I fully appreciated it. The teachers are very caring and enthusiastic, you don't get the idea that they 'ended up' there. The director is great and very involved. I like the positive approach; they emphasize what the students are supposed to do and provide positive support. The only problem I had while there was with some of the girls excluding others (i.e., 'you can't play with us' and 'you don't play right'... early mean girls drama!). They did puppet shows about the issue, but I felt like minor discipline is in order for this since it was really upsetting to the kids being excluded (namely my daughter who didn't want to go to a school for nearly a month before she finally told us why). A friend at another school said they told the kids what to do, then separated the kids who were excluding others if the behavior continued. But overall I was really happy at this school and would probably commute there still if it were full days (they do 8:30-12:30 days, T/Th for 2 YOs; M/W/F for 3 YOs; and M-F for pre-K).
This is an excellent pre-school program. My daughter absolutely loves going and would go every day if she could. The teachers are very kind and really care about he children. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.

The Kansas Lady Jayhawks have kicked off the season with a monotonous 4-4 start. The Jayhawks got off to a good start, winning their first three games by double digits. KU is on the opposite end of the spectrum as of late, attempting to put an end to a current three game slide, including a 73-40 loss to #2 Duke.
Junior Forward Chelsea Gardner is the go-to player for the KU squad, averaging 15.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks per game. Asia Boyd, Junior Guard out of Detroit, Michigan averages 10.6 points and 4.5 rebounds per game. Kansas Senior Guard CeCe Harper averages 10.3 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 3 assists per game.
The Lady Jayhawks shoot a respectable 40% from the field and 74% from the free-throw stripe, but struggle from the three-point line, only averaging 26.8% shooting per game. On the defensive end of the floor, the Kansas team plays tough nosed. Four different players have corralled double digit steals in only eight games this season (Knight – 14, Gardner – 11, Cole – 11, Harper – 10).
Kansas was scheduled to play Texas Southern at home Sunday afternoon, but due to an ice storm and other inclement weather conditions, the game has been postponed and rescheduled for December 12 at 8:00 EST.
The Lady Jayhawks have a lot more basketball to play and a lot more time to improve before March arrives.
