The internet has given Groot a lot of love since Guardians of the Galaxy hit theatres in August, especially in his little sapling form - but this creation by Lego builders Sean and Steph Mayo might be one of the coolest fan versions yet. Who knew that so many 1-stud cylinders could create something so wonderful?
The two builders created the little Groot as a commission for Lego Youtubers Beyond the Brick, as part of a 24-hour livestream for Charity they ran over the weekend (man, 24 hours of Lego building? I'd be down for that!). There's been plenty of fabulous Lego Groot creations out there since the movie came out, but this one is definitely up there as one of the best, with a creative use of Lego (especially the green bendy tubes used to recreate Groot's foliage and moss) that gives the build great accuracy to the Groot from the end of the movie.
I know there were good reasons we've not had an Official Dancing Groot yet, but what I wouldn't give for a little set from Lego to build a Groot for my desk. That might even be better than an actual replica or toy! You can check out more of Sean and Steph's Lego creations on their Flickr page.

In a culture obsessed with content, saturation, and continual exposure, it's rare to find artists who prefer to lurk outside of the public eye. Sweden's enigmatic GOAT may qualify as the greatest modern pop-culture mystery. GOAT's only outright declaration for Requiem is that it is their "folk" album, and the album is focused more on their subdued bucolic ritualism than psilocybin freakouts. But GOAT hasn't completely foregone their fiery charms—tracks like "All-Seeing Eye" and "Goatfuzz" conjure the sultry heathen pulsations that ensnared on their previous albums. Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of Requiem comes with the closing track "Ubuntu". The song is little more than a melodic delay-driven electric piano line, until we hear the refrain from "Diarabi"—the first song on their first album—sneak into the mix. It creates a kind of musical ouroboros— an infinite cycle of reflection and rejuvenation, death and rebirth. Much like fellow recluse Pynchon, rather than offering explanations for their strange trajectories, GOAT create a world where the line between truth and fiction is so obscured that all you can do is bask in their cryptic genius.

There are the acupressure points for relieving Acne, Pimple and Other Skin Problems. Working on these points can help you get better quicker. You do not have to use all of these points. Using just one or two of them whenever you have a free hand can be effective.
Points (A) — Heavenly Pillar
Location: One-half inch below the base of the skuIl on the ropy muscles one-half inch outward from either side of the spine. Benefits: Relieves stress related to skin disorders such as acne. Relieves stress, burnout, exhaustion, insomnia, heaviness in the head, eyestrain, stiff necks, and sore throats.
Points (B) & Points (C) — Sea of Vitality
Caution: Do not press on disintegrating discs or fractured or broken bones. If you have a weak back, a few minutes of stationary, light touching instead of pressure can be very healing. See your doctor first if you have any questions or need medical advice. Location: In the lower back (between the second and third lumbar vertebrae) two to four finger widths away from the spine at waist level. Benefits: Relieves acne, eczema, and bruises on the body.
Points (D) — Third Eye Point
Location: Directly between your eyebrows in the indentation where the bridge of the nose meets the center of the forehead. Benefits: Stimulates the pituitary gland, which is the master endocrine gland, to enhance the condition of the skin throughout the body.
Points (E) — Four Whites
Location: One finger width below the lower ridge of the eye socket in line with the center of the iris in an indentation of the cheek. Benefits: Remedies acne and facial blemishes.
Points (F) — Facial Beauty
Location: At the bottom of the cheekbone, directly below the pupil. Benefits: Relieves acne, facial blemishes, poor complexion, and sagging cheeks; and improves facial circulation.
Points (G) — Three Mile Point
Location: Four finger widths below the kneecap toward the outside of the shinbone. Benefits: Strengthens and tones the muscles and improves the condition of the skin throughout the entire body.
Points (H) — Heavenly Appearance
Location: In the indentation directly below the ear lobe and behind the jawbone. Benefits: Balances the thyroid gland to increase the luster of the skin; relieves hives.
Points (I) — Wind Screen
Location: In the indentation directly behind the ear lobe. Benefits: Balances the thyroid gland to increase the luster of the skin; relieves hives.
It's important to drink plenty of warm water after the massage, to help clear away toxic substances in our body.
Caution: If you have a serious illness, or life-threatening illness such as heart disease, or cancer, please consult with your physician before practicing Acupressure.

Three Years Later . . .
>> Friday, October 7, 2016
Today is the 3-year anniversary of when Ada had her surgery. I thought to honor the day, I'd re-post what I wrote about that day way back when. I'm currently looking at my gorgeous almost 5-year-old, and you'd never know we went through this nightmare. Feeling very blessed today.
And there you were -- still sleeping -- alone in that big bed we had played in for hours before they wheeled you into the operating room. Your head was propped atop a small white pillow and your hands were encumbered by numerous tubes and wires leading to the machine reading your vital signs. It beeped and plotted and alarmed.
We were told everything looked good.
Yet, to us, that was hardly the case.
I didn't know what to say or feel in that first moment seeing you, so I think I muttered a simple "wow," in both disbelief and wonder. I counted your tiny fingers and toes just as I had when you were placed in my arms for the very first time. You looked as peaceful as you did back then. Calm, which is a rare to see with toddlers of your age, but especially rare with you. I took a strange, selfish pleasure in seeing you so still.
Your surgeon had gently parted your hair and tied it back in its first real ponytail revealing many, many stitches. Too many to count at a glance. I wasn't at all prepared for the length of your incision. A good four or five inches in all, starting at your right temple and running up to the crown of your head. It looked so much like the neat red stitching on a baseball -- precise and uniform and definitely well practiced.
"What did we do to you?" I said, shaking my head.
Somehow the tears weren't streaming down my cheeks by this point. I had imagined they might the whole day, but I was able to hold myself together for you. Or maybe I was numb. None of this experience was setting in. We weren't really there and it wasn't really happening, I mused. Little (almost) two-year-old girls don't get craniotomies.
Your nurse mentioned something about morphine and how you weren't in pain. His voice was low and soft, absolutely perfect for his chosen profession. I could swear I had met him before. His whole demeanor was so familiar; his lean build made me think perhaps we jogged together in a local race. It was silly. I couldn't pin it down. But I grew guilty wasting the brain power to place him. I should have been totally focused on you and somehow my mind could only wander anywhere else.
The morning of your surgery, you woke (too) early, probably due to all the commotion of us packing outside your bedroom. Instead of rocking and shushing you back to sleep, we let you get up and sip water while we loaded the car. I sat in the back seat with you trying to starve off your hunger with your favorite cartoons and countless pages of stickers that still litter the floor even a week later. You had no idea what was in store, and I had no idea if we had made the right decision.
Medicine is science, yet so much of it is interpretive. Surgery is as much art as it is mechanics, and each artist is unique in execution and medium of choice. Had we commissioned the right piece for your situation? Will we ever know? Will we ever be at peace with the not knowing?
You opened your eyes for a second when we tickled your foot, rousing you for your first round of tests. A few neuro residents, probably much younger than us, I thought, visited your bed and asked us questions about your diagnosis and procedure. They commended your pediatrician for catching the issue so early on, before the symptoms had started. They spoke and I replied, but all I could truly focus on was your breath.
"That's normal, right?" I asked several times. You were snoring, but it was a slow wheezing in and out because the breathing tube had irritated your airway. "Totally normal," said the nurse, his gaze fixed on your monitors. He was recording your vitals and preparing us for the journey to the PICU, the place in the following days we learned to love as a home away from home.
We had only just begun your recovery and yet so much of this event that we fretted about was already over. And thank goodness for that. At each turn, we still entered the unknown. Would you be the same when you woke? Would you hate us? Would you be in pain? A million questions and fears quelling only today. After a week fraught with worry and, in turn, jubilation as we've watched you return to your old self.
We walked down the street to the park yesterday. You love blowing dandelion seeds and hunting for more flowers and then repeating the process all over again. We did this for hours the day before your surgery and here we are again only one week later. There was a lot between this point and where we are currently, but those are all stories for another time. When you're older and we've all let our wounds heal.
We are so thankful for all your thoughts and prayers and incredibly humbled by this experience.

We were feeling sad about the asshole millionaire who killed a guy and then adopted his girlfriend so she could ensure his fortune didn't go to his victim's family. But then rachel723 came along and cheered us with an updated take on the classic Annie tune "Tomorrow":
Ah, millionaires adopting unlikely people, a classic tale!
I killed a guy

Gonna give my bottom dollar
to my girlfriend!
Not to him!
When you're stuck with a case

Just adopt a lady
as your baby
and sayyyyyy
I'll cheat you
out of Money!
Oops your son died and
I'm an asshole!
I was drunk!
So drunken!
So drunken!
Not sorry that I killed him
while I was drunk
It doesn't count!

In the late afternoon of day three of the 2016 Republican National Convention in Cleveland, media workers and RNC attendees were blocked from exiting the security zone around the convention center. Past the concrete barriers, lines of police, and double layers of 10-foot tall steel-link fence, a protest was swirling. It was the American flag–burning hyped all day by members of the Revolutionary Communist Party, a tiny Maoist-style group known for provocative but ultimately harmless political stunts.
Republican Political Strategy for 21st-Century US Is Apartheid
From the security tunnel, apparently modeled on checkpoints dotting Israeli-occupied Palestine, it was difficult to distinguish protesters from media in the crowd of hundreds. Heated yelling drifted above the tightly packed throngs, but there was no smoke to be seen.
The mere threat of a piece of colored fabric being set alight was enough to trigger a lockdown. Rent-a-cops started herding bewildered media out of the tunnel. When two columns of beefy riot cops in full body armor began filing out to take up position near the protest, security swooped in to clear media out of a parking lot where the tumult could be observed.
On the scene was dozens of Bikers for Trump, loudly lecturing how the flag-burners would be killed in any other country. The imminence of violence is a refrain on a right that glorifies its weapons as instruments of peace. The previous day when I took a photo on the street near the convention of a knot of muscleheads all wearing the same 2nd Amendment t-shirts, one told me, with approving nods from his compatriot, "If it wasn't for the First Amendment, I would have smashed your camera."
These gun-clingers hadn't figured out the Constitution is not an a la carte menu they can pick and choose from, and eliminating the First Amendment would usher in the tyranny they rant about as imminent.
But this moment fits into the hollowness of American democracy. One flag was eventually lit, giving the media dramaticimages to splash on their front pages and an opportunity for police to flex their muscle, unleashing pepper spray and arresting four. It also gave the RCP a chance to hijack an earlier immigrants-rights protest and art display to "Wall Off Trump" and his hate with hundreds of feet of canvas painted with brick walls and chain-link fence.
With protesters largely frightened off by police and FBI visits and the public gripped by fear of lone shooters, Black nationalists, and Neo-Nazis, the protests have been reduced to small packs moving through an empty downtown.
But the protests serve as a jobs program for media ravenous for a morsel of news given the convention hall is devoid of life for at least 18 hours day. And the protests serve as a real-life simulation for the police to test out all their weapons and tactics and electronic gear.
More important, with the government and media hysteria having squelched genuine dissent, these protestitos serve a role in maintaining the appearance of popular democracy under the control of a police holding the line against complete anarchy. The moment anti-Trump protesters come within range of pro-Trump demonstrators, police leap into action and isolate the two sides with democracy-free zones. Ideas must be contained, free from any potential contamination.
Any threat of violence is overblown. Alex Jones bellowed about his violent showdown with "Communist Black Lives Matter, when in fact footage shows him clumsily body checking a protester after being lightly pushed. But the purpose was served: cameras rolled, police sprung into action, and Jones got to play at brave truth teller for another day. And the audience at home imagines Cleveland is a crazed scene on the verge of open warfare when in reality it's devoid of people other than low-age workers, hustlers, limelight-seekers, thousands of bored cops, and a stirred-up anthill of journalists scouring digital trails for any photo op, comment, or interview no matter how minor.
The protests mirror the inside of the Quicken Loans Arena where the RNC is being held. That the stage for a white-nationalist Republican Party is affixed with the name of a company accused of high-pressure tactics and predatory home loans in a city where the African-American community has been devastated by the foreclosure crisis beginning under President Bush and continuing under President Obama is a stellar example of image triumphing over substance. Just blocks away in nearly every direction are abandoned buildings, cracked streets, and the down and out.
Near the Wall Off Trump demonstration I caught up with Matt Taibbi of Rolling Stone. Widely praised for his coverage of the foreclosure crisis and Wall Street crash, Taibbi lamented of the dog-and-pony show, "We are in one of the poorest most fucked-up cities in America and we have 10 million journalists here and all they are doing is making a spectacle out of all this."
Protests in Cleveland as Republicans Confirm Trump Candidacy
The second night of the convention, entitled, "Make America Work Again," should have been labeled a disaster. Thirteen months into his campaign, Trump has yet to offer one concrete idea of what he will to help the millions of Americans caught in poverty or barely keeping afloat. Nothing about how he will return manufacturing jobs or boost wages other than an incessant loop of superlatives: "great," "amazing," "incredible," "tremendous," "unbelievable."
On the flip side, Trump has indicated how he will make the economy worse—by trying to deport 11 million immigrants, starting trade wars, and ratcheting up diplomatic tensions with U.S. allies.
But the top story for the media three days running is Melania Trump's plagiarized speech. "Make America Work Again" was a rerun of the first night squeezed of the bloodlust: more Benghazi, more Clinton, more Trump family time.
There was never a golden age of American democracy, but as Cleveland is showing, even the pretense of it is dead. What remains is hi-tech cameras and cops circling a hollowed out public. Both parties and the Fourth Estate are complicit in this fiasco. This may be the most absurd election ever, but the real reckoning is yet to come.

The Forum advocates for policies that keep us secure, respect the rule of law, help grow our economy and are compassionate.
The Federation for American Immigration Reform works for immigration policies that include better border management, lower levels of overall immigration (about 300,000 per year as opposed to the current more than a million) and a greater focus on highly skilled immigrants.
|Cathleen Farrell is The National Immigration Forum's Director of Communications. Cathleen has more than 30 years' experience in advocacy and strategic communications. She is a native of Canada and a graduate of Montreal's McGill University.
|Matt O'Brien is responsible for managing The Federation for American Immigration Reform's research activities. He has an extensive background in immigration, including with the federal government. He holds a law degree from the University of Maine and a master's in National Security Affairs from the Institute of World Politics.
Farrell and O'Brien spoke at the Wednesday June 13, 2018 meeting of the Senior Statesmen of Virginia. The meeting was held at the Senior Center in Charlottesville. Following the presentation, questions were taken from the audience. The program was moderated by SSV board member Terry Cooper.

A copy of that license remains > in the COPYRIGHT file now distributed with OpenLDAP Software. I have read the U-Mich license which is included in the COPYRIGHT file and it does not appear to grant the right to modify the work and redistribute the modified version. The lack of this right is of concern to us and I would think it would be of concern to the OpenLDAP Foundation as well. An example of where this might come up is shown at http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/libraries/liblutil/setproctitle.c?hideattic=1&sortbydate=0 where a file under the U-Mich license was modified and then distributed. Can you clarify this apparent discrepancy between the rights grants by the license and the acts of the OpenLDAP Foundation? My general feeling on this is that the right to redistribute modified works was intended to be granted by U-Mich and that they meant to imply it in their license and that is what the OpenLDAP Foundation has been operating under. Having this stated explicitly would benefit anyone looking at the licenseing for OpenLDAP when determining if they can use it or if they can include it in their distribution. Since I would expect this is of concern to the OpenLDAP Foundation I would hope that they might be willing to clarify it or to contact U-Mich to have them clarify it since they likely have a contact at U-Mich. If the OpenLDAP Foundation does not share my view then I would ask if they would be kind enough to point us in the right direction at U-Mich so that we might contact them to resolve this question. > And, as stated in the OpenLDAP COPYRIGHT file, some files may > be subject to additional restrictions. > > The OpenLDAP Foundation makes no assertion of compatibility or > incompatibility between terms placed upon OpenLDAP Software by > its copyright holders and terms placed upon other works by > their copyright holders which OpenLDAP Software may be combined > with. Our primary concern is to understand the licenseing under which OpenLDAP is distributed so that we may make an informed decision as to how it fits in our distribution. We do not ask the OpenLDAP Foundation to make the determination for us as to how OpenLDAP may fit into our distribution or how the OpenLDAP licenseing interacts with other licenses in our distribution but only to clarify the licenseing terms under which the OpenLDAP Foundation distributes OpenLDAP.

Part of the Contributions to Phenomenology book series (CTPH, volume 58)
Collective Intentionality is a relatively new label for a basic social fact: the sharing of attitudes such as intentions, beliefs and emotions. This volume contributes to current research on collective intentionality by pursuing three aims. First, some of the main conceptual problems in the received literature are introduced, and a number of new insights into basic questions in the philosophy of collective intentionality are developed (part 1). Second, examples are given for the use of the analysis of collective intentionality in the theory and philosophy of the social sciences (part 2). Third, it is shown that this line of research opens up new perspectives on classical topics in the history of social philosophy and social science, and that, conversely, an inquiry into the history of ideas can lead to further refinement of our conceptual tools in the analysis of collective intentionality (part 3).


text: How Oscar's Wide-Open Best Picture Race Is Shaping Up 11:46 AM PST 12/16/2011 by Scott Feinberg FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME Help Artist Descendents Hugo Split - H 2011 THR's Scott Feinberg names the frontrunners for the Academy Awards' top honor as well as a few wild cards. At the Academy Awards, the highest honors a full-length live-action film can receive are the Oscars for best picture, best documentary feature and best foreign-language film. This year, unlike any other in recent memory, none of those categories has a clear front-runner, which makes them considerably more interesting to follow. As dictated by a new voting system the Academy adopted this year, there will be five to 10 best picture nominees. I can say with a fair degree of confidence that I know what five of them will be: Michel Hazanavicius' The Artist, Alexander Payne's The Descendants, Tate Taylor's The Help, Martin Scorsese's Hugo and Woody Allen's Midnight in Paris. All received Golden Globe nominations for best motion picture in the musical/comedy or drama categories, with many of those films' key actors and directors also receiving mentions. PHOTOS: THR's 2011 Director Roundtable Artist, a black-and-white silent film, sounds like something that should never have been greenlighted, but it has managed to charm and move even the most reluctant of moviegoers while playing nearly every stop on the festival circuit since Cannes, picking up audience awards all along the way. The dramedy, set in late-1920s/early-1930s Hollywood, focuses on a silent-era matinee idol (Jean Dujardin) whose career rapidly declines after the advent of talkies, just as that of a young woman whom he literally bumped into and took under his wing (Berenice Bejo) begins to flourish. Oddly, it captures the current zeitgeist even more than most films set in the present by showing how technological advances coupled with an economic downturn can upend literally anyone, but that — with drive, determination and a little help from one's friends (and animals) — a comeback is always possible. PHOTOS: The Making of 'The Artist' It was voted the year's best film by the New York Film Critics Circle, nominated for the best ensemble SAG Award and nominated for best picture for the Critics' Choice Awards (one of a field-leading eight noms) and Golden Globes (musical/comedy). The Descendants, Payne's first film since 2004's Sideways, stars George Clooney as Matt, a scruffy, aloof, penny-pinching heir to a plot of pristine Hawaiian land now worth a fortune. Matt has grown emotionally distant from his family, but he is forced to change his ways and reevaluate his priorities when his wife suffers a traumatic injury that leaves her in a coma, his oldest daughter (Shailene Woodley) returns home from boarding school and he learns that his wife had been cheating on him at the time of her accident. PHOTOS: The Making of 'The Descendants' Although not a feel-good movie, it is not nearly the downer it could have been thanks to Payne and his co-writers' witty script and first-rate performances from Clooney, Woodley and — in only a few minutes of screen time — Judy Greer as the other cheated-on spouse. It was voted the year's best film by the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and has been nominated for best picture for the Critics' Choice Awards (one of seven mentions from that group) and Golden Globes (drama), as well as the best ensemble SAG Award. The Help, adapted from Kathryn Stockett's best-selling novel and directed by first-time feature filmmaker Taylor, movingly recounts the story of a black maid (Viola Davis) in 1960s Mississippi -- not the most tolerant time or place -- who reluctantly agrees to be interviewed about her life by a young white woman (Emma Stone) who is much more open-minded than her family, friends and neighbors (except Jessica Chastain), and also to encourage her best friend (Octavia Spencer) and other acquaintances to do the same. PHOTOS: How 'The Help' Was Cast Released in August, the film was quite well-reviewed (it's 75?percent fresh on RottenTomatoes.com) and made a fortune at the box office (nearly $200 million worldwide). Its ensemble was named the year's best by the National Board of Review, and it has been nominated for the best ensemble SAG Award (one of a field-leading four nominations), the best picture Critics' Choice Award (one of a field-leading eight noms) and the best picture Golden Globe (drama). Hugo, a 3D family film, is unlike any other movie Scorsese has made, but it has quickly become just as revered as many -- and more profitable than most -- of his most celebrated. Adapted from an acclaimed novel by Brian Selznick, the film unfolds almost entirely within a bustling Paris train station, in the bowels of which lives a young orphan (Asa Butterfield) and in the heart of which works a toy-shop owner (Ben Kingsley) who menaces the boy but is -- in the film's third and best act -- ultimately changed immensely by him. PHOTOS: Martin Scorsese on Set A loving ode to the early days of cinema and an impassioned plea for the preservation of old movies, Hugo was voted the year's best film by the National Board of Review and has been nominated for the best picture Golden Globe (drama). Globe nominee Midnight in Paris, Allen's most critically and commercially successful film in years (it's 93 percent fresh on RottenTomatoes.com and made more than $139 million worldwide), features a large ensemble cast led by Globe-nominated star Owen Wilson as Gil, a nervous writer obsessed with the past (think Allen himself). PHOTOS: The Making of 'War Horse' It humorously and poignantly illustrates — through a disbelief-suspending time-travel device reminiscent of the one used in The Purple Rose of Cairo (1985) — that the "good old days" (say, Paris during the 1920s or La Belle Epoque) about which people like Gil are so nostalgic weren't necessarily all they've been cracked up to be, and that the real "golden age" might actually be the one in which we're living. Midnight has been nominated for best picture for the Critics' Choice Awards and Golden Globes (musical/comedy), as well as the best ensemble SAG Award. As for the five other possible slots, I believe that three big studio adaptations of popular books stand a solid shot: Bennett Miller's cerebral and Globe-nominated Moneyball, which stars Globe nominees Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill as baseball executives who adopt a revolutionary approach to the game; Steven Spielberg's epic War Horse, also a Globe nominee, which features a large cast comprising primarily young and foreign actors; and Stephen Daldry's tear-jerker Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, which centers on a young boy (Thomas Horn) with Asperger-like behavior whose father (Tom Hanks) was killed on 9/11. I'd also keep an eye on: Terrence Malick's The Tree of Life, a meditation on the meaning of life that lacks a traditional narrative and has deeply divided audiences but has passionate industry backers and recently won the best feature Gotham Award; the political thriller The Ides of March, which was co-written and directed by Clooney, features an incredible cast and was nominated for the best picture Golden Globe (one of its four noms); Academy favorite Clint Eastwood's J.?Edgar, a biopic of the former FBI chief that has taken a lot of hits from critics but falls within the Academy's historical wheelhouse; and, if you can believe it, the raunchy Globe-nominated comedy Bridesmaids, which has been nominated for the best ensemble Critics' Choice Award and SAG Award and earned a spot on the AFI's list of the year's top 10 American films. And finally, a few long shots: the neo-noir actioner Drive, the slow-burn British spy thriller Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, the second big-screen adaptation in three years of the hit novel The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, the timely Wall Street drama Margin Call, the quirky indie Beginners and the franchise-closing blockbuster Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2.

Almost every day of my life I am bombarded with concepts that are sometimes so incredible, my jaw drops and I am left in dazed wonderment. Sometimes the things I learn are so "out there" that I ask myself "why?" Three things that I always felt were inexplicable was the rise of the neo-Nazi party in Germany. The "I'm the victim" mentality of incarcerated inmates. And finally, why many people won't accept responsibility for their actions.
Firstly, one of the worst things that ever happened to Germany was the rise of the Nazi political party. The Nazi's brought out the worst of humanities aspects in a culture that is normally very friendly and open. So why are the new Nazi's being allowed to rise in the political structure? Haven't the German people learned from the past? In today's world, no culture can subscribe to isolationism; also, it's been shown that all cultures have something to offer, that there are bright, articulate people in every part of the world.
Secondly, I have found that most of the inmates I've encountered are victims, at least in their own minds. The usual excuses are "It's not my fault I had to steal, I didn't have any job skills" and "everyone is against me." It is never the individual's fault that he or she was involved some kind of criminal activity. If the so-called "victims of the state" acted in a sensible manner and as adults, they never would have been incarcerated. The simple truth is, if one acts in a delinquent manner, no matter of social standing, one will be treated accordingly.
Finally, the most incomprehensible idea I've encountered is that many people won't accept responsibility for their actions; it is always someone's fault, but never one's own. The plain fact is, if I want to be regarded as a mature adult, I must take the punishment for anything I might do. But in the world today, it seems that putting the blame on someone else is a regular past-time. "He makes me crazy!" "She...

Probably my first experiences in seeing changes taking place within the local fisheries was with rope in the late 1950s or early 60s. Fishermen up to those years used a cotton rope for all purposes.
Around the late 1950s or early 60s, a much lighter plastic rope was introduced. Lobster trap trawls usually require a full coil of rope, which the lobster traps and buoys, are tied to. That cotton rope was not as strong as the more recent plastic ropes and was much heavier. Those cotton ropes had to be dried after lobster fishing each year to prevent it from rotting. The heavy wet coils of rope had to be spread along wooded fences, on rooftops or on woodpiles which allowed the rope to dry in the sun. The rope would then have to be recoiled after two or three days of drying and stored where it would remain dry until the next spring. This was usually a job given to me by my father when I lived on Pictou Island.
I am reading in mothers' diary July 9th 1964 where my brother-in-law (Scott Falconer) hired and paid me $2 to do his rope. I remember jumping at that opportunity without blinking an eye. Not only was $2 a lot of money, but Scott had a new half-ton truck and he was allowing me to use this truck while doing his rope.
Scott had placed all his wet coiled rope beside his trap house after the fishing season finished a few days earlier. Each coil of this rope would probably weigh about 40 to 50 pounds. Those heavy wet coils had to be put into the back of the truck and hauled to where I would spread it to dry. My father had erected wooden fences around much of our property on Pictou Island. Dad had also built wooden fences along both sides of our long dirt driveway. It was on top of these wooden fences where I would spread the rope. Boy did I think that I was somebody being able to drive Scott's truck on the island all by myself at 12 years of age!
James Jeremiah Turple (1888-1972) from Dartmouth along with his daughter Sheila, son-in-law Clifford Worden and their three young sons Dale, Jimmy and Barry came over on Ernie Rankin's ferry boat on July 12th to spent a few days with us. Two of Pictou Island's East Enders, Ross MacDonald and Charlie Munro, came to our place on that same night to visit with my Uncle James. James was my dad's fathers' brother and had taught in the Pictou Island School 1910-1911. I am assuming that Ross and Charlie were probably former students of his and wanted to reminisce about former days. Uncle James was the seventh James Turple and I was named after him.
Cliff Worden had previously built himself a 14-foot plywood speedboat and had taken it over to Pictou Island with him. I believe Cliff powered his speedboat with a 30hp Scott outboard motor. Cliff, Sheila and my brother Vincent spent the next couple of days water skiing and scuba diving the waters around Pictou Island. I was mesmerized by Cliff's speedboat and I just about freaked out when he allowed me the complete use of his speedboat when they became bored with their water activities. I don't believe that the outboard motor was ever shut off over the next few days. I remember sailing all around Pictou Island at least three times and continually sailing back and forth from the East End Breakwater and back to the West End Light. I was forever looking for a race whenever I would see a fishing boat pull out of the island wharf. Marked gasoline cost about .06 cents a litre or .28 cents a gallon and my caring father kept me supplied with that necessity.
A sever thunder storm occurred on the morning of July 22. Lightening struck Jack Rankin's barn and killed three of his sheep. The weather cleared up in the afternoon and I went to Caribou with my father in the DreamBoat after a load of lumber. Vincent and Hughie Turple met us at the factory wharf in Caribou and helped dad and I load the boat. Arnold MacMillan, Punch Patterson, Spike & Melvin MacDonald and Cally MacCallum met and helped us to unload back at the island wharf. That lumber was for the construction of my father's new trap house that was constructed on the bank above the wharf where it stands today.
Duncan "Peep" MacCallum began to build dad's trap house on July 28th and finished on August 5th. My father, mother and I put Dad's 800 traps in that building the next day.
July 25th was a warm sunny summer day and my mother had a birthday party for me on the beach below our house. This was the last year that we would spend on Pictou Island and I was going out with a party. These people attended that party in 1964. Elwood, Robert, Nina & Judy Rankin, Billy, Ann, Debbie, Sandra & Jackie MacMillan, Ralph & Eric Bennett, Alice MacDonald, Ralph and Caroline Hemmings. The Hopper twins, Doris and Doreen from Freeport were in attendance with my sisters Rita and Rosemary. My brother Vincent sailed up to the beach in his boat Slo-Mo-Shun and with him were Bruce MacDonald, Sharon Burke and Dorothy Lewis. These are just more memories of Pictou Island …

How can we improve?
There are two fundamental motives behind the need to improve. The first may be as a result of performance having fallen below acceptable limits. Alternatively a business, either unilaterally or in collaboration with its supply chain partners, may have a need or desire to improve performance in order to become more competitive or to increase profitability.
Applying penalties to suppliers may have a place where performance has fallen below acceptable contractual limits as a short term fix or where the buyer does not have enough leverage over a supplier for them to investigate underperformance and look to work together to improve.
The application of penalties is a direct indication that something has gone wrong. Generally it is in the interest of both parties to be more proactive and make the necessary changes in order to avoid problems from occurring. Carefully designed and continually monitored key performance indicators (KPI's) facilitate this process. KPI's can of course be used to trigger penalties on a supplier but the real benefit of KPI's is to use them to identify opportunities to improve performance or to halt, and turn around, deteriorating performance.
Key indicators should be used to identify improvement opportunities, they may not provide the solution per se but rather act as a trigger for a more formal investigation into the key causes of underperformance and to engage in collaboration to identify, agree and implement suitable solutions. In this way KPI's can be used to reward rather than penalise. Additionally KPI's may also provide a stable platform on which to identify a divergence in customer-supplier strategies, needs and values. As such they can assist in the negotiation and agreement to terminate the relationship in a controlled manner in order to minimise disruption and pain to either party.
In 2016 Target, the sixth-largest US retailer by sales, "plans to tighten deadlines for deliveries to its warehouses, hike fines for late deliveries, and could institute penalties of up to $10,000 for inaccuracies in product information".

Genre: Sci-Fi, Queer
The cycle of seasons on Ceres, a temperate and bountiful spring and summer season followed by a horrifying and extended freeze, rules the minds and lives of all inhabitants of Earth's third sister planet completely. Cereans are an industrious people bound strictly by tradition and by their original colonization directive– be fruitful and provide the much-needed sustenance for the sister planets.
In Whitewater Valley, Attis is something of an outcast. Born a spring child with the mark of fire, a telling sign of misfortune, Attis knows firsthand the horrors of the freeze and the deadly consequences of the sleeping sickness. However, it is not the dangers of the freeze that haunt Attis, but the lingering childhood memories of a mysterious onyx-eyed boy in the marketplace.
When memories once again become reality, and Attis finds himself behaving in ways that break every Cerean tradition, he must discover for himself his place on Ceres and in the universe.

What I'm Looking For
What ever happened to the original definition of a Sugar Baby? The woman on the side because: she is what your wife used to be; Young, hot, sexy and willing to do things your wife has long since forgotten. This woman is an S/B because; she is more into pleasing him than her friends at the country club. Because, she isn't defined by the car she drives, the labels she wears or the hairdresser she goes to. A woman who enjoys the company of a Gentleman and knows what she's doing, does it really well and always leaves you wanting more. This woman has more respect for herself and her man who willingly spends his money on her because; she never asks for gifts before they meet. She can hold a conversation on real topics not what's the latest hair style or designer label that's out. She enjoys a quiet lunch without a cell phone glued to her ear and an afternoon spent together more concerned about pleasing her man than worried about the sale she's missing at Neiman. Whatever happened to that woman? I know they're still here I've met a few; True gems among the rocks. Is it the women that have changed? Always wanting something for nothing or the new generation of girls pretending to be women? I don't know and I really don't care, so I don't want to hear it. But if you're a woman who can act accordingly and has that willingness to please a true Gentleman then you may get more than you expected from a SD/SB relationship with me. Your pic gets mine.

My eyes were first drawn to the black and gold striped scarf upon her head. Her expression was surly, thick upturned lips darkened from years of smoking right down to the butt, pug nose, ashen brown skin and pop eyes frames by harsh square black frames.
Beyonce huh?
She said,
Sharp. Cold.
Wow! Is this the person with whom I am going to be spending the next two weeks with? The previously joyous atmosphere was smashed in an instant by her icy glare. Uncomfortability permeated the room and my heart sank. The only saving grace was that I would not be sharing a room with her.
I glanced over at Ashley. Oooooh Ashley so ever joyful and optimistic. She was beaming from ear embracing the new girl wholeheartedly with the glow that radiated from her eyes. She showered her with questions eager to get to know her. The answers were curt and nonchalant.
Rugged. Surly… Common.
Breathe in Breathe Out.
I concentrated on battling the negative thoughts out of my mind and keeping the smile on my face. I learnt that she was a student at university studying dance. She was excited to be here she said. She didn't look it. If that was excitement I was scared to see her unexcited. This girl was going to be a problem and I knew it.
As fatigue was about to take me into the land of nod Ashley's voice pierced the silence. She said just two words,
"Beyonce Huh?"

To the rest of the world the World Cup is the Super Bowl, World Series, Stanley Cup, and NBA Championship rolled into one. Really, thats how big it is. Country against country - competition at the highest level in a sport played literally around the world. No other sport I can think of can say that.
We Americans just don't realize how important this tournament is. Countries go nuts over the results. EVERYBODY seems to care.
The photo above is of some happy and party-loving Italians and me. It was taken the day of the USA-Italy game at Kaiserlauten, Germany. What an exciting day.
I didn't have tickets but offered one ticket scalper over $700 for 2 tickets but fortunately he turned me down. I can't believe I did that but I guess I got wrapped up in the excitement of the day.
June 11, 2010, it begins again!

high and dry: the dangers of dehydration – part 2
In a previous blog, we discussed the potentially serious condition of dehydration, which can be caused by a number of factors. Today, I am going to talk to you about diagnosing dehydration and what you can do to get your pet's fluids back in balance!
Diagnosing Dehydration
The clinical signs of dehydration include lethargy, sunken eyes, loss of appetite/water consumption, dry mucous membranes and a decrease in skin elasticity. Your veterinarian can determine the severity of the dehydration with a combination of a thorough physical exam and bloodwork. This bloodwork can also help to determine the underlying cause of your pet's current ailments. Depending on the underlying cause, further diagnostics such as radiographs, ultrasound, or further blood tests may be warranted.
Treating Dehydration
Depending on the severity of the dehydration, and the underlying cause, your vet may recommend subcutaneous or intravenous (IV) fluid replacement. Subcutaneous fluids are given with a needle just under the skin (sort of like a vaccine, only a lot more substance). Your pets body can then absorb this fluid and make sure it is dispersed to the appropriate places within the body. Intravenous fluids are given through a catheter placed into your pet's circulatory system. This is a more direct and much faster way to replenish fluids. This type of fluid administration requires your pet to be hospitalized. With an IV catheter in place, your vet is also able to give any necessary medications to help treat the underlying cause of the dehydration.
Dehydration is a common and potentially severe health condition that affects our pets. Keep a close eye on how much water your pet seems to consume in a normal day. If you notice this amount changing (either an excessive increase or decrease in water consumption), make sure you let your veterinarian know. If caught early, many conditions are likely to be treatable. And remember: dehydration is just as likely and just as dangerous for our feline friends as our canine companions!
Fortunately for Cotton, he recovered very well after a few days in the hospital getting his fluids replaced and receiving therapy for the underlying cause of his vomiting and diarrhea (dietary indiscretion in his case).

We never know what God will use in our lives to speak to other people. The queen of Sheba was amazed when she looked at Solomon's waiters! Her eyes went right to God, knowing it had to be all from God.
If we are faithful in all things, God will use it all. Who knows what part of our lives He can use today?

ASHFOAM Honoured
Ashanti Foam Factory (ASHFOAM) Limited was on Tuesday awarded with an ISO 90001:2008 certificate in recognition of its commitment to providing quality products in Ghana.
George B. Crentsil, Executive Director of Ghana Standards Authority (GSA), presenting the award to management of ASHFOAM Limited, commended the company for producing and distributing polyurethane foams products – mattresses, pillows, among others, to customers.
According to him, it was important for establishments to standardize their products, processes and management systems since it leads to sustainable development and trade facilitation.
He said standards also enabled markets to operate effectively, increase competitiveness and provide opportunities for technology transfer and trade, adding that in the current global setting, competitiveness was intrinsic for which reason it must be built into societal goals for a country to achieve sustainable and meaningful development.
'In this regard, GSA has established the Management System Certification Scheme (GSA MSCS), which is the National or Statutory Certification Body to provide accepted management system certification services to local industries to enable them compete favorably on global markets.'
Dr. Crentsil reiterated that the current global market trend required organizations to produce quality products and services that meet customers' requirements at all times.
'Consumers are becoming more informed about their choices thus the need for institutions/organizations to re-position themselves by acquiring ISO 9001:2008 certification.'
He therefore assured Ghanaians that his outfit would support the growth of safety, quality, health and an environmentally-conscious industry by providing certification services that facilitate competition.
Alwan Hitti, Chairman and Chief Executive (CEO) of ASHFOAM, on behalf of the company, expressed the company's appreciation to GSA for the award, saying it was an important milestone in the history of the firm, which is now competing with European companies.
The ISO 9001:2008 certification process ensures that industries operate according to international standards which are geared towards customers' satisfaction.

After a successful run last year, the Indian Badminton League (IBL) Governing Council announced that this year's IBL will be held from September 30 to October 15.
This year, the IBL allows its franchisees to strengthen their teams by having 11 players in the rosters last year to up to 13 players this year. Furthermore, each franchisee can pick two more players who can be either from India or from foreign countries, with the hope that this would intensify the competition.
"IBL's schedule actually works out nicely with the 2014 Asian Games, which will end at 29th of September, 2014. Players who are done with Asian Games can fly-in from Incheon for the league," said Dr Akhilesh Das Gupta, he is the President of Badminton Association of India and Chairman of IBL Governing Council Chairman.
"Last year, players also flew in after participated in World Badminton Championships, Guang Zhou. The way we set up the IBL schedule is to ensure world's best players can come here to play and to bring more excitement to the audience."
"Our success last year had made our counterparts in international federations more confident about the league. This year more countries and more stars are eager to join us," added the BAI chief.
Dr Das Gupta said: "Badminton World Federation (BWF) is very impressed with how we run IBL last year, and India is a very important country and market and can get bigger. That's why they've decided to held the BWF Annual General Meeting (AGM) in India during the Thomas and Uber Cup."
On last year's IBL was won by PVP Ventures-owned Hyderabad Hotshots. The team captain Saina Nehwal had performed exceptional well on the way to the title triumph.
This year's IBL will be played in Six Indian cities – Pune, Hyderabad, Lucknow, Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru.

"The king of the fruits", mango fruit is one of the most popular, nutritionally rich fruit with unique flavor, fragrance, taste, and heath promoting qualities.
Mango is one of the delicious tropical seasonal fruit and believed to be originated in the sub-Himalayan plains of Indian subcontinent. Botanically, this exotic fruit belongs to the family of Anacardiaceae, a family that also includes numerous species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plants such as cashew, pistachio etc.
Mango is a tropical tree cultivated in many regions of India and now distributed wide across the world in many continents. The English word "mango" originated from the Tamil word māṅgai or mankay.
Outer skin is smooth and is green in un-ripe mangoes but turns into golden yellow, bright yellow or orange-red when ripen depending on the cultivar. A high quality mango fruit should feature no or very less fiber content and minimal sour taste. Mango seed may either has a single embryo, or sometimes polyembryonic.
Mango`s Health benefits:
According to new research study, mango fruit has been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers.
Mango fruit is rich in pre-biotic dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, and poly-phenolic flavonoid antioxidant compounds.
Mango fruit is an excellent source of Vitamin-A and flavonoids like beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, and beta-cryptoxanthin. 100 g of fresh fruit provides 765 mg or 25% of recommended daily levels of vitamin A. Together these compounds are known to have antioxidant properties and are essential for vision. Vitamin A is also required for maintaining healthy mucus membranes and skin. Consumption of natural fruits rich in carotenes is known to protect body from lung and oral cavity cancers.
Fresh mango is a very rich source of potassium. Potassium is an important component of cell and body fluids that helps controlling heart rate and blood pressure, makes good alkaline effect on inner fluids.
It is also a very good source of vitamin-B6 (pyridoxine), vitamin-C and vitamin-E. Consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps body develop resistance against infectious agents and scavenge harmful oxygen free radicals. Vitamin B-6 or pyridoxine is required for GABA hormone production in the brain. It also controls homocystiene levels in the blood.
Copper is a co-factor for many vital enzymes, including cytochrome c-oxidase and superoxide dismutase (other minerals function as co-factors for this enzyme are manganese and zinc). Copper is also required for the production of red blood cells.
Mangoes are widely used in cuisine. Sour, unripe mangoes are used in chutneys, athanu, pickles, or side dishes, or may be eaten raw with salt, chili, or soy sauce. A cooling summer drink called panna or panha comes from mangoes. Mango jelly made of mango pulp called mamidi thandralu in Telugu and mambazha vettu in Tamil is very popular. A dish called mamidikaya pappu in Telugu and mangai paruppu in Tamil, where mangoes are cooked with red gram dhal and green chillies, is served with cooked rice and clarified but raw mangoes are typically eaten fresh; however, they can have many other culinary uses. Mango lassi, a popular drink made throughout South Asia, is created by mixing ripe mangoes or mango pulp with buttermilk and sugar. Ripe mangoes are also used to make curries. Aamras is a popular pulp/thick juice made of mangoes with sugar or milk, and is consumed with bread, rice or pooris. The pulp from ripe mangoes is also used to make jam called mangada.

Dulwich College, Dulwich, Southwark, c.1910
Dulwich College is hugely significant to the area for two reasons.
Firstly as a major public school, which had been established in its modern form in 1857, but which traces back its origin to 1619. The buildings seen here were designed by Charles Barry and opened in 1870.
Secondly the college estate has been run to the benefit of the college since the 17th century.
Development has been strictly controlled. The estate has largely remained as a single freehold unit until very recent times and building development has been of a type and standard attractive to potential pupils' parents.

(SPOILER) James Marsters on his new Spike Graphic Novel. James Marsters speaks about the stories he would like to tell in his new role as graphic novel author.
Includes a 5 page preview of the novel.
March 18 2014
If I have to guess the timeline, given S-9 began a few months after N"FA," and After the Fall took no real time at all due to the reset, presumably it's in that window.
Could be fun. Curious as to when during Season 7 this could take place. I assume it has to be sometime after Spike stops being totally crazy? And I have never heard of Deathcry. I thought he was making it up until I googled it!

Yeah, the art is nice (if a bit generic), but the dialogue seems fairly bland so far and the plot description is not grabbing me.
