|legal problems due to angry black out with Atripla
Sep 14, 2011
Our children have been taken away by the state due to an angry, violent blackout my husband had a few weeks ago. I tried to tell CPS that I thought that it was the Atripla and alcohol (a few drinks within 8 hours of his meds) together that made him blackout and be angry but they don't believe me. He remembers nothing of what happened and is so sick over hurting me. The state thinks that it is just an abuse cycle at work and that is why he is so sorry. How is it a cycle when it has never happened before? Are there any publications with either case studies or research done on anger and atripla? Possibly an expert in this somewhere that I could call upon? I need to get my kids back. My husband bruised me in several places and tried to choke me but it wasn't my husband. He did nothing to hurt the kids. His doctor has changed his meds to the new combo pill without sustiva and we are hopeful this fixes it but we need some expert testimony or documentation so that we can show this was not something he could control and we are appropriately approaching the situation medically so it doesn't happen again. My husband isn't an angry person. We have been together for 5 years and married for 4 years and he has never done anything like this. They took the kids on the grounds that I showed I wasn't willing to participate because I was trying to prove it was a medical problem and because my older children were scared. Of course they were scared! They have never seen him do anything like this and he hurt their mother. Please any help would be greatly appreciated.
Response from Dr. Henry
I have not seen any publication that zeroes in on anger or severe detrimental mental health changes observed in the setting of use of efavirenz? If any reader is aware of any publications please post. KH

Fireworks – Keep pets safe during Celebrations
As EID celebrations and the 4th of July are approaching, we make ourselves up for yet another display of great fireworks! Great to look at for us humans, but kind of frightening for our pets…
Pets can easily be startled by loud bangs and even can get scared of the lights.
So here are some tips for these coming festive days:
- The kindest and safest thing is to keep your pets safely inside the house.
- If you are living close to a place of celebrations maybe keep the television or radio playing to drown out the noise.
- Ensure all curtains, blinds, and windows are closed to minimize the noise and light effects of the fireworks.
- Make sure your pet is wearing a form of easily readable identification just in case he/she escapes in a panic and runs away or worse, gets lost…
- There are calming products available that can help reduce your pet's anxiety and keep him/her calm during this stressful time (for more information about these products please contact our clinic at 04 340 86 01 or firstname.lastname@example.com)
- Allow your pet somewhere to hide in the house. For instance under a bed or table. Make sure they have extra bedding to help them feel snug and secure. Cats love carton boxes or small enclosures where they pretend no one sees them.
If you are living close to an area where a lot of fireworks is to be expected and your pet is scared you could also consider having it stay at our Pet Hotel far away from all festivities. For more information and bookings please call 04 3471028 or email to email@example.com.

Slick marketing together with tempting claims from vendors on the untold riches of e-business have persuaded many organisations to start on the route to e-nirvana, but serious pitfalls are curiously absent from the sales pitch, Gartner warned last week.
The IT infrastructure already in place presents a significant roadblock for new e-business initiatives says Ross Altman, Gartner's research director.
"This roadblock is the legacy IT infrastructure that is already in place; unless the purse strings are incredibly loose and can fund an entirely new infrastructure from top to bottom, someone somewhere is going to have to integrate the new with the old," he said.
"Of course, the vendor community has a simple solution for these very real conundrums; rip out your old systems and replace them with a full suite from the one vendor." Not only is it unwise to be so dependent on any one supplier, Altman said its better to buy best-of-breed solutions and integrate them. He said the job market is reflecting this shift as the heaviest demand is no longer for those with hard-core coding skills but those who are able to integrate disparate application components.

"splenda with fibre" somehow makes me feel more like we on the way to the sad future of nutrients delivered in per-meal-dispensation pellets and food a disregarded concept, more than vitamins and prior single-component meals ("in a bottle" and such) have. but that may be my inherent distrust of splenda and other artificial sugar-substitutes for anybody other than diabetics whose only other choice is going without.
this blog is truly my online notebook. so much so that this thought occurred already hyperlinked. but because it's my notebook i never bother that sometimes what i choose to hyperlink is only connected in my head. i sometimes feel guilty for it always being about what and how i need to record rather than the potential reader.
while writing this post i realised i never said boo about trinidad noir- i got my copies, devoured it then promptly did again, and really enjoyed it both times. it's a strong collection; i nearly peed laughing reading bobby antoni's piece and immediately saw how the american reviewers lost out having never heard trinis talk, thus unable to comprehend our language muddied with text-message-style delivery, but it's hysterical. i loved some pieces and liked almost all.
i was totally not embarrassed by my work when i saw it amongst the others like someone had once threatened (a certain jackass said mine was "pornographic", "vulgar" and "obscene" and threatened to withdraw from the collection if it was published as written; luckily i had an editor+publisher on my side) but was quite pleased and love its placement (so if you read the book, don't skip ahead to mine because you know me- read in order) and it's one of the better (neo?)noir collections i've read, even with a couple stories that might not strictly classify as noir.
and now i'm rereading mine for an excerpt, prepping for a reading i was asked to be part of next week. so there's a trinidad noir reading @ normandie (6.30pm thursday december11) and i'm assuming that once i find an excerpt i can handle the anxiety will give way to thrill...

Friday News Roundup #217
Worth Knowing
- Old Paths bass singer Daniel Ashmore got married last Sunday. The Old Paths posted a photo gallery of Daniel and Katelyn Ashmore's wedding here.
Worth Reading
On Wednesday's post, several artists left their thoughts about the value of meeting fans at the table before a concert:
Pat Barker (Mark Trammell Quartet):
When I went to see the Cathedrals, most of the artists were at the table before the concert. If they can be at the table, then anyone can be at the table. George was the only one who stayed backstage. It did make it exciting to see him for the first time on the stage. My point? Both sides are right. It comes down to fan perspective.
When we do multi artist dates, we are usually the only ones at the table minus Mark. I hear it more times than not, "Where are the other groups? Are they too good to come in"? I think 30 plus years ago the groups were seen as stars so it was ok to stay backstage because that's what stars do. Now, the artists are see as family. If you don't come to the table, you're seen as too good to shake hands with the "regular people." Plus groups are missing a great opportunity to sell. We do alot of product sales before the concert. These days, when it's hard to get people to the table, every little bit helps.
Matt Fouch (Legacy Five):
Most of L5 is at the table at least 45 minutes, usually 1 hour, before the concert begins. It give people an opportunity to stop by and chat for a few minutes. Intermission is usually too busy to hold a conversation. After the concert, most of our guys are headed to the bus to get changed to start tearing down equipment. Like one other person said, it really is what the artist wants to do. We choose to be available pre-concert and intermission. So, come early and say HI 🙂
Several other artists and fans offered thoughts, here.
Worth Watching
Bluegrass band Balsam Range—the current home of Kingsmen/Isaacs alumnus Tim Surrett—takes on the Kingsmen classic "When I Wake Up To Sleep No More." Of particular note is a hilarious comedy bit at the 3:15 about what bluegrass bass singers have to do to sing low.Read More
Peg McKamey's grand-nephew passes away
Peg McKamey's grand-nephew (her brother's grandson), Will McKamey, was a freshman at the Naval Academy, Annapolis, and played on their football team. Several days ago, he collapsed during a practice, and was in a coma for several days. He passed away on Tuesday; he was 19. Prayers are requested for the immediate and extended families in light of this sudden loss.Read More
Andrew Utech leaves Dixie Echoes
Last July, when the Dixie Echoes hired Alex Utech as their new bass singer, they hired his twin brother Andrew as a musician and bus driver. Last night, Andrew announced that he was leaving the group. In a Facebook post, he commented:
"I just wanted everyone to know I am no longer with the Dixie Echoes. I'm going with the Interstate Quartet. For booking or information call 256-424-2751 or 256-599-2052. Thanks to all the fans that have been there for me. Come see me again; you can't miss it."Read More

Yesterday's discussion on radio chart speed prompted some thought-provoking letters to the editor.
From Josh:
I've been thinking about the difference between SG and other genres in other areas of the industry, but it has an effect here too. Its widely understood that a major difference between our industry and others is our motives.
In other genres, chart success is what drives their success on the road. If you don't have a chart-topper, its very difficult to get your foot into the industry. In southern gospel, while chart success is important, I'm not convinced its what drives a group to continue on the road. If it does, maybe they should check why they are in this industry to begin with. Groups will (should) continue to travel if they don't have a chart-topper. That's not what this industry should be based on. The importance needs to be placed less on the chart-toppers and more on the lives saved.
Could the charting process be sped up? If its a core part of the industry and why groups continue to travel, go right ahead. But I won't be hurt if it stays the way it is because I hope groups would realize that they don't travel for chart-topping success or the royalties they could earn.
An excerpt from Kevin Kreuger's letter:
If we look back in history from the 50′s, 60′s and in the 70′s, all formats (country, pop, etc) had songs that dominated the #1 position on the charts for months. Now that we've become the instant everything culture, we see songs rise and fall in a quicker manner. I think another thing that comes into play is that we have more 'national' groups than we did in prior decades. With more groups clammering for airplay, I see songs coming off charts sooner because we have to make room for the new addtions to the chart.
I like Absolutely Gospel's weekly chart (disclosure: we are a reporting station to this chart) versus a monthly chart, but I believe the charts are for industry professionals. Nobody walks up to a product table and says, 'well this CD has one number one song, a top ten song and a three top twenty songs, but that one had only one number one song and one top fourty song. I'll take the first one'.
And, finally, an impressively lengthy one from Tony Watson:
I'm of the school that says the charts have much less impact today than they did 20 years ago. Honestly I subscribe to Singing News but I seldom ever look at the chart anymore and I don't look at any other charts at all. I was in radio for a few years in the late 80′s-early 90′s so I looked at it then. Now with so much instant access to songs through websites, YouTube, iTunes, social media, etc. the need for charting is lessened for the consumer. It's still a measure for the artist of what the buying public is listening to, but I think other factors have bit into that as well.
Services like Enlighten, iTunes Radio, Pandora, etc. have had a very positive effect in getting the music by the top groups "out there" more. Sure there are still some quality issues, but it's still better quality than was demonstrated on much local gospel music radio before these were available. The push-back is this . . . artists are seeing that people are buying fewer and fewer CD's. They either buy it on iTunes, with many just buying the songs they like, or due to the exposure with these web and satellite-based services, people don't feel like they need to buy the CD's/songs because they get to hear the top songs for free or for a monthly subscription.
While the artists do get royalties from services like Enlighten, the impression I'm getting from the artists is it's many times a lesser return than they used to see from CD sales just a few years ago.
Getting back to the issue at hand, I see there being fewer "landmark" songs" today than 20 years ago. I think it's partially because of increased exposure, partially because there are more groups who have a "national" platform than there were. The internet and it's related venues like YouTube, social media, artist websites, e-mail lists and the like make it easier for folks to keep up with and interact with their favorite groups and really not be as interested in the industry as a whole. Used to be, Singing News was the lifeline of information – now the information is 2 months old when you receive it and it's greater value is the behind the scenes stuff with the artists, their at home visits and the stories behind the songs. Still a great value, but much different than grabbing it out of the mailbox and seeing what song is #1 this month.
Some may argue that there are MORE landmark songs than 20 years ago, but I would disagree. I think you get some songs with "definition" for a group from time to time but I don't think they, overall, have the lasting impact as "Midnight Cry" or "We Shall See Jesus" or "Learning to Lean" or "Touring that City" or other songs that are instantly identified with a particular group from days gone by.
It's the same thing in the rest of society. There are many other options for music, for entertainment, for pretty much everything these days. Overall TV ratings are down for particular shows because there are so many other options for viewing. Shows come and go much quicker because networks will not stick with shows to let them breathe.
The same reality exists in gospel music. The most successful groups in recent days have had a simple formula – good songs, good people skills, believability and very little personnel turnover – period. I tell people all the time, the key to being successful in gospel music comes down to 2 words "stay there". The problem is now, economic issues are going to swallow more and more up and those who are in debt up to their eyeballs are going to be tempted to do some unethical things to try and stay afloat (some already have) and that's a tough place to be.
With that said, back to the issue at hand (I keep chasing my own rabbits), who can name the "landmark" song of more recent groups? It often comes down to the song you first heard them sing or the song you like the best or the song that ministers to you the best. I'm asking some hypothetical questions now because I don't want this thread to become a list of people's choices for "landmark" song, but what is the "Landmark" song of Triumphant Quartet? Crabb Family? Collingsworth Family? Whisnants? Mark Trammell Quartet? Booth Brothers? Greater Vision? Tribute Quartet? I'm thinking specifically off the top of my head of groups that have come to more prominence within the past 20 years, give or take. If we were to list them, we couldn't likely come to a consensus of what those were in many cases. In some cases it's a little clearer, to be sure.
To summarize, I'm of the opinion that radio still has much value, but the charting impact has lessened significantly in gospel music and I don't see it coming back.

This evening, former Liberty Quartet baritone Jordan Cragun announced the launch of his new group, The Craguns. He will be joined by his wife, soprano Elena Cragun; his father, bass singer Ray Cragun, and his cousin, tenor Nick Adams.
The family's musical roots run deep, and aren't limited to Cragun's short but strong run as Liberty Quartet's baritone. Ray Cragun, who has been a senior pastor for two decades, has built his own following as a member of various college and regional quartets. Jordan Cragun is also Kim Collingsworth's nephew.
"We could not be more excited to unveil this new and unique group to the Gospel music world", Jordan Cragun commented. "I'm so thankful for the prayers and support we have already received from so many. I know this is going to be an incredible journey!"

This week's featured Letter to the Editor is from J.E. Butler. Commenting on yesterday's post, Doing the Little Things, he shared some stories of his own:
My son will soon be 35. When I was probably his age – 26 years ago, I purchased for him one of the green bus/piggy banks from the Cathedrals' table during a concert. My son wanted to meet the bass singer – and he was carrying the bus/piggy bank when we went to meet George Younce. Seeing the bus, Younce reached in his pocket and came out with a $5 bill and put it in the bus without saying a word about it. I saw him do it – but no one else did. Legacy…which I think makes the name Legacy V so perfect…
On a night that Gus Gaches was traveling with L5 but not yet a member, my sister purchased probably $100+ from the Booth Brothers. After she had made her purchase, she noticed a CD by their dad, Ron Booth. My sister told Ronnie how much she loved to hear his dad sing. He reached over, grabbed his dad's CD, and dropped it in her bag. Steps to a legacy – and a life-long fan not only of Ron Booth, but Ronnie and Michael.

Norman Holland passes away
Long-time Southern Gospel executive Norman Holland passed away yesterday of heart failure. In his role as A&R Director with Riversong, Chapel, and Daywind, he guided and helped shape the careers of many of Southern Gospel's leading artists.
He entered the Southern Gospel industry in 1980, and rose through the ranks until he reached the position of Vice President and A&R of Daywind Records. He held that position for sixteen years, through his retirement last year. Though Holland's impact was behind the scenes, it was massive. Countless colleagues have posted tributes to him, including these:
- "There may never be another who cares for artists like Norman Holland did. He was an innovative and dedicated employee. This is a heartbreaking loss." —Ed Leonard, President of Daywind
- "The wonderful memories of working and sharing life with Norman for 16 years are precious. I will cherish them as I cherished him." —Dottie Leonard Miller, Founder of Daywind
- "Norman and I had a great working relationship for 27 years, but more importantly, he was one of my closest friends. His laughter was contagious, and his larger-than-life, magnetic personality always lit up any room he was in. Gospel Music has lost one of its most innovative and influential behind-the-scenes personalities, and I have lost a friend. But not for long. I know where he is." —Gerald Wolfe
- "So sad to hear of Norman Holland's passing. He was such a sweet man. We will miss you, Norman." —Wes Hampton
- "Our hearts are broken today to learn of the passing of our great friend, Norman Holland. He was sooo much more than just our A&R director for years, but he was a true friend!" —The Perrys
- "All of us at the Harper Agency are deeply saddened to hear about the untimely passing of our dear friend Norman Holland. At one time or another over the last 32 years, Norman worked with nearly all of the artists our agency currently represents and those in years past as an A & R director. He loved the music the artists sang and the God they all sang about. He was a true friend to the gospel music community and loved by all of us." —The Harper Agency
- "Please pray for his family and friends. He will be greatly missed." —Mark Lowry
UPDATE, 6:45 P.M.: A Daywind press release offers the following information on funeral arrangements: "Funeral services for Norman will be held at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 15th, 2014, with visitation taking place from 1 p.m. until 2 p.m. that day. The funeral and visitation will take place at Sorrell's Funeral Home, 2744 W Magnolia Ave, Geneva, Alabama, 36340, Phone:(334) 684-9999. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Norman Holland Memorial Fund c/o Norman's sister, Edith Brown, 1209 Glenwood Street, Dothan, Alabama, 36301. The balance of the fund after funeral expenses will be donated to the Gospel Music Trust Fund. There will be a memorial service in honor of Norman held in Nashville within the next month."Read More

In this week's featured Letter to the Editor, reader JSR reflects on the importance of digital availability of projects:
Everybody in SG needs to get their music on iTunes. If nothing else, the ability to hear short clips is a good way to introduce your music. I don't think the market for SG will ever go away, but a failure to have the abiliity for people like me (who don't go to concerts and don't buy a lot of complete albums) to have easy access to your music will jepordize the viability going forward. There are some SG artists that I've never bought any of their music in a store, but I have grabbed a song here and there off iTunes, or similar venue, after hearing it on Pandora or YouTube or on a SG blog. It needs to be that Daniel is soon forced to put a link to iTunes or the Google Play Store or Amazon for a digital download for every CD that hits the market.

Emonaut - The Dragonaut Thumbnail Theatre Episode 1
Posted by DeathToZippermouth under Anime and Manga, Special Features, Thumbnail Theatre, Dragonaut
It is the dawn of a new special feature here on Whiskey Tango Foxtrot! In fact, it is the dawn of special features, period.
Anyway, these past few weeks, there have been some fairly cool new animes here and there, and a few rather bad ones.
But none are so much of a hilarious, poorly plotted train wreck as Dragonaut - The Resonance.
The show makes little sense, the characters are mostly a cast of generics aimed at reaching the widest possible audience, and most of all everything is so amazingly poorly written. And it has CGI dragons, which has been the death knell for other works of media this year.
So in honor of this astounding train wreck, I will be following the series not as a blogger, but in an attempt to revive the precursor to Abridged Series, Thumbnail Theatres.
Let us get started then!
Emonaut - The Dragonaut Thumbnail Theatre
Episode 1: No Need for Plot!
Well, Kazuki, I'm heading off to space with my family. Don't join any idiotic evil organizations while I'm gone.
Sounds okay, Jin. And you be sure not to have any horrific heart-rending accidents within the next hour.
C'mon, Jin, let's get going. I should be diagnostic checking the space shuttle by now. I wouldn't want them to blame me for any accidents.
Dad, did you use too much Botox again?
I have no idea what you're talking about.
I love you, Dad.
Bye! Watch out for falling pieces of sky!
*Meanwhile, in the furthest reaches of the Solar System*
*Meanwhile, on the spaceship*
Kiss your boyfriend goodbye, bro?
Oh, you bet! Wait, I mean, um, what are you talking about?
Jin, honey, I was looking at the script and was scared to find that I don't have a name.
I love you, Mom.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be fine. There's plenty of time to introduce me.
That spaceship looks like it might have eyedrops!
Spaceship: OW! The forecast didn't call for random death today!
Oh, darn, why do I always destroy everything I touch?
Skydiving isn't as fun as people keep telling me…
*2 Years Later… we think. Not that it matters how long has passed, so we'll go with 2 years.*
Well, picture of dead family, I'm off to go angst in the park.
Foster Family Daughter: Mommy, that emo kid who lives in the attic is leaving his room again.
Foster Family Mother: Oh, just ignore him. We're such a happy family, aren't we?
Foster Family Father: That's right, dear. You didn't invite that punk to dinner, did you?
Why does the sun shine on such a miserable world? I'm going to write some poetry about it on my livejournal…
*Roll Credits. For the love of god, roll the credits before he starts reciting.*
*Meanwhile, on the beach*
I am SO mysterious.
*Meanwhile, watching TV*
I am SO angry.
*Meanwhile, on TV*
I am SO pretty.
*Meanwhile, in a card game thousands of miles away*
I am SO frustrated.
*Meanwhile, back on the TV*
Newslady: So, the "Is Pluto a Planet" debate can finally rest now that it has been turned into debris by an evil eye.
Thank you for the exposition, Newslady. Here's some footage of it blowing up.
*Meanwhile, on a bridge*
Hrmmm. My assignment has me looking for some emo kid. Oh, there's one!
I'm sad that I'm walking.
Hey, kid, what do you think of the reports that say your dad sucked at flying spaceships?
I think you and your snazzy red car should be thrown into a pit of eternal despair.
Cute kid. Hey, a pink haired girl! A photo of that will sell to evil scientists for lots of money! PAPARAZZI TIME!
*Meanwhile, outside the TV Studio*
Random crowd of fangirls: KYAAAAA! Liner's so hot!
Shame shame, ladies. He's MINE.
Now, now, Howling Star, don't be jealous. It's not my fault I was blessed with the looks in this marriage.
My name sucks.
*Meanwhile on the City bus*
Random Crowd of Schoolkids: Whisper whisper rumormonger alienate emokid…
I don't want to go to school today…
*Meanwhile in a cafe*
Hey, sexy scientist lady, if I give you this blurry photo of a pink haired girl will you take off your top?
No. You need to bring her to me in person.
Oh, a threesome? I'm DEFINITELY down for that. I'll get right on it.
*Meanwhile in a secret organization's lair*
ISDA: Welcome to the ISDA. Please suitably fanservice yourself upon entrance to the facility.
Showers are so refreshing. Now, how's the evil monster in a jar we're keeping?
Immobile as always.
*Meanwhile, near the site of the horrible heart-rending accident*
Watching spaceships take off reminds me of why my life is such a mess. I'm so lonely. I should look up Kazuki. No, he'll pick on me like everyone else. Come, sweet death. Take me out of my misery.
I'm still mysterious.
*Meanwhile, in a car on a bridge*
Wow, it sure was nice of you two pretty ladies to pick me up and take me to the evil organization base. I've never been to one before!
First time, eh? Want me to educate you?
Whoa, really? Score! Loss of virginity here I come!
Teehee! Teasing kids is so fun!
More fun than when I tease you?
Of course not, onee-sama… teehee!
So… we on for tonight?
*Meanwhile, in a random building*
It's been… too long… since I've been punished…
Oh, I'll punish you alright.
*Meanwhile, in the secret organization's lair*
So, all I gotta do is touch this big sphere thing, right?
Now, who told him he had to be naked?
Yes, Kazuki… that's how daddy likes it…
Pulse… Pulse… OOO! A LITTLE BOY! TENTACLE TIME!
Alright, the hazing ritual is done. You can join the secret society "Dragonauts".
Sweet! Now, I hope my dragon is a chick…
*Meanwhile, back on the random building*
Oh please… please…
Please? Please what?
Oh, I'll hurt you lots more. We're just getting started, pet.
*Meanwhile, on a bridge*
What a lovely evening for an angsty walk in the moonlight.
*Meanwhile, in a dark alley*
Lone Woman in Alley: Doo dee doo, walking alone at night…
IT'S RAPING- *ahem* I mean IT'S DINNERTIME!
Lone woman in Alley: Oh dear, my life is a horror cliche.
A scream from a dark alley? I had better check it out.
Nom nom nom girlflesh is yummy. Rah? PUNY RUNT BOY INTERRUPT MEAL.
Hahaha! The joke is on you, monsterman! In scared mode I can do badass things! EAT STEEL ROD!
This pole cause cheek itch.
Oh dear, I seem to have found the dead body of a woman in an alleyway. Hello, implied consent! *Checks body* Huh. Or maybe she's not dead.
This tall building under construction is my last refuge.
But I don't actually want to die!
This fall reminds me of the time my family died. I still remember it even now… the billowing smoke… the assorted debris… the falling bodies… oh, lord, let me die this time.
Convenient rescue!
Huh. I appear to be alive and in the arms of a hot girl. That's a relief. *Passes out*
Hey, it's the Pink haired girl again. Better get a better picture this time.
*Meanwhile, at the secret organization's control room*
BOSS! Dragons are attacking the city!
Shhh! The audience isn't supposed to know they're dragons yet! *Ahem* Anyway, send the loli and the butler to check things out!
*Meanwhile, on the freeway*
Truck: Oh poopy, a random fight in the middle of the road. Time to blow up now.
Mysterious escape!
No like waste evening. Me go home to play games.
We're here, my lady.
Dammit, we're late! You shouldn't have loli-gagged about! Tsundere Hmph! *Laughtrack*
*Later, in a grassy field*
*yawn* What a strange dream. I dreamt a monster threw me out of a building and then a hot pink haired girl saved me. Hey, where am I?
Up already, handsome? I'm Toa. Wanna go out? I can assure you I have nothing to do with the accident that killed your family.
The pretty sunrise sure thinks we should. Hooray! Something happy to put in my livejournal for once! Maybe there IS hope in life! Maybe I can be happy for the rest of the series!
Cast: Keep telling yourself that.

I think were both confused on the others definition of loli. Let's start again.
Hi, I'm Death To Zippermouth. The first instance of the word loli I learned was part of the phrase Gothic Lolita, which is a fashion style in japan that the character in question seems to fall under. Despite its other connotations, which he has learned, DTZ therefore feels that use of the word Loli is applicable to petite females who follow the style.
That work for you?

From Putin's perspective, Russia's involvement in Syria and the cementing of relations with the Assad regime is a key part of a longstanding effort to project power in the Middle East.
Benjamin Netanyahu is to be in Russia for talks with President Vladimir Putin. The two will discuss Russia's increasing military involvement in Syria.
From Putin's perspective, Russia's involvement in Syria and the cementing of relations with the Assad regime is a key part of a longstanding effort to project power in the Middle East. Russia has long maintained a naval base at the coastal city of Tartus. Now the country has built an airfield to complement it.
Russia's involvement in Syria is arguably the most important Russian power projection in the region in decades, according to Stephen J. Blank, an expert on the Russian military at the American Foreign Policy Council.
He was quoted by The New York Times as comparing Russia's Syria deployment to its involvement in Egypt in the 1970s.
Russia's increasing intervention in Syria comes at a time when the Syrian migrant issue has become a major humanitarian crisis and a major challenge first and foremost for the European Union, but also for other countries directly or indirectly affected by the uprooting of millions of Syrians.
Putin seems to be positioning himself to take a leading role in formulating a solution for coping with the turmoil in Syria. Even if the Americans and the Europeans would like to isolate Putin for his revanchist designs in Ukraine and his role in strengthening the Assad regime, they will have no choice but to cooperate with him, since any diplomatic or military arrangement aimed at ending the bloodshed in Syria will have to go through Moscow.
Since Russia's military involvement in Syria is so deeply entrenched – indeed it is a central element of Russian foreign policy – there is no reason to believe that Netanyahu, representing little Israel, will be able to convince Putin to reduce that involvement.
In fact, Russia's role in Syria as a supporter of the Assad regime does not necessarily clash with Israeli interests. It might even be a boon to Israel if the Russians can succeed in stabilizing the situation in Syria and weakening the influence of Islamic State and other al-Qaida-affiliated organizations, such as Jabhat al-Nusra.
What is of concern to Israel – and Netanyahu will raise this issue during his meeting with Putin – is the perception that Russia's increased involvement in Syria makes it more difficult for Israel to operate against Hezbollah in Southern Lebanon.
As Russia commits increasingly larger resources to propping up the Assad regime against its enemies, the interests of Moscow are increasingly dovetailing with Iran and its proxies.
This complicates Israel efforts to protect its own security interests. One of these interests is to prevent the smuggling into Hezbollah-controlled Southern Lebanon of long-range missiles and other advanced arms supplied to Syria by Russia and Iran.
Israel's ability to attack convoys traveling from Syria to Lebanon might be limited, particularly if there is a risk that such attacks might inadvertently hit Russian troops.
Moscow might even interpret an Israeli strike on Syrian troops or the Hezbollah as aggression against Russia.
At the same time, Israel and Russia share many common interests. First, there is a very large expat community of former Soviet citizens living in Israel. As a result, business ties and cultural ties between the two countries are strong.

Coy Webb, Disaster Relief Director, states that volunteer teams have been especially busy in 2016 with flooding disasters. We often see pictures of them wearing their distinctive yellow shirts at the sites of tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other natural disasters. More than 7,000 volunteers are trained as Kentucky Baptist Disaster Relief workers. These volunteers can staff feeding units designed to deliver thousands of hot meals on short notice; move in with chainsaws to help remove debris; do the dirty work of "mudding out" flooded homes; and provide many other disaster relief services. Kentucky's active disaster relief program works in concert with similar programs in other states. Currently Kentucky Baptist Disaster teams are also participating in a five-year partnership with Baptist Global Response to use their skills to help with many different disasters in sub-Saharan Africa. Whether the disaster occurs in Kentucky or elsewhere in our country or the world, Kentucky volunteers trained and prepared to be called out to help.

Fairs & Festival
Ages of rich tradition, warm and hospitable people, a landscape
of breathtaking variety and beauty - all combine to pack each year
in Himachal with a variety of fairs, festivals and celebrations.
There are some 2000 deities worshipped in Himachal and numerous
fairs and festivals are held in their honour. There are others that
began as if just yesterday - and have added their colours to the
grand collage. From religion to trade, from seasons to sports -
and month by month - here is a joyous celebrations of life.
A cliche if you will - but often laced with snow - the year opens
with a heady cocktail. Thousands of revelers head to celebrate the
new year in Shimla, Chail (Solan), Manali (Kullu) and Dalhousie
(Chamba). Around New year comes Halda in Lahaul, which is a more
private celebration of the event. Along the valleys of Chandra and
Bhaga rivers, a few members of every household step out with lighted
cedar twigs to a west oriented place selected by the 'lamas'. These
slender branches form the first flames of a bonfire which is then
dispersed. Shiskar Apa, the goddess of wealth is worshipped,
and the dancing continues for a couple of days.
There is greater sobriety, but no less joy, when Lohri or Maghi
comes along in mid January. This is the traditionally mid winter
day and also commemorates the last sowing of the Rabi crops. Community
bonfires, folk songs and dancing, mark the festival. In tribal Spiti,
Dechhang is celebrated at the height of winter, while the Lahaul
area reserves it for early April. At Paonta Sahib (Sirmour) the
major focus is on Guru Gobind Singh's birthday. The town and other
gurudwaras close to it, are closely linked with the Guru's life.
On a mid-night towards the end of Paush (December-January), Phagli
begins in Lahaul's Pattan valley with snow being packed in a conical
basket - kilta.
This is upturned on the roof, this resembles a Shivalinga. Shiva,
Naga and the goddess, Hadimba are worshipped, and the younger generation
mark this by venerating the village elders. Chhang and lugari, locally
brewed liquors flow freely, and ritual dishes are eaten. Kinnaur's
Sazi (or Sazo), also comes at around this time.
More contemporary -events come in the form of the National Snow
Statue Competition at Kufri (Shimla), the Folk Dance Competition
on Republic Day at Shimla. and the Water Sports Regatta at Kangra's
Maharana Pratap Sagar. To make this wonderful time of year all the
more attractive, Himachal Tourism offers special discounts and packages
in its wide network of hotels.
Snow continues to play a major part in February's festivals and
Himachal's Winter Carnival is also held this month.
Gochi in the Bhaga Valley is an unusual festival when the villagers
celebrate the birth of male children. Token marriages of children
below the age of six are also performed - comes when children throw
snow balls at each other.
Baba Barbhag Singh Mela is held in Una to honour the sage who was
renowned for his magical powers. Basant Panchmi marks the arrival
of spring in the lower areas, and every town seems to keep a reserve
of colour for the occasion and the skies are filled with a medley
of kites.
Ritual dances and an unbelievably rich imagery mark Lossar. This
is celebrated in Buddhist areas throughout the state while Lahaul's
monasteries have some of the most spectacular performances. On its
eve, the stylized chhaam dance with elaborate costumes and masks,
commemorate the assassination of the cruel Tibetan king, Langdarma
of the 9th century. Often - though wrongly - called 'the devil dance',
it symbolises the triumph of good over evil.
Centered around the temple of Trilokinath, Char is celebrated in
Lahaul. The town of Mandi with Its ancient temples revels in the
Shivratri fair for a whole week. On elaborately decorated palanquins,
hundred of local deities are carried to the town. Accompanied by
folk bands, they make their first stop at the Madho Rai Temple and
then go to pay obeisance to Lord Shiva at the Bhootnath Temple.
This is followed by festivities - music and song, dance and drama.
Yet, all the while the atmosphere is surcharged with deep religious
In third weekof March, the fascinating Nalwari fair is held at
Bilaspur. Cattle are traded, there are wrestling bouts – aero
and water sport shows are recent additions.
Holi Festival is a riot of colours and celebration of spring, alogng
with it comes laughter and vitality. There are exuberant celebrations
at Palampur (Kangra) and Sujanpur (Hamirpur). By the banks of the
river Yamuna the shrine of Paonta Sahib in Sirmour is thronged by
Hindu and Sikh devotees . In Sirmour, the Balasundari fair is held
at Trilokpur near Nahan, it coincides with the sacred days of the
Navratras. The temple of Baglamata, near Bankhandi in Kangra is
also a major focus during these days.
Chait, the first month of lunar calendar is celebrated with dancing
by women in Kullu and by folk singers in Chamba.
At the shrine of Deothsidh (Seo) on the district border of Hamirpur
and Bilaspur, a month long fair is held in March and April.
Held on the first Baisakh - the 13th April - Baisakhi is one of
Himachal's very important festival. Rooted in the rural agrarian
tradition, it bids final farewell to winter. At Tattapani near Shimla,
at Rewalsar and Prashar lakes near Mandi, people take purifying
dips in water. Numerous village fairs complete with wrestling, dancing
and archery are also held on this day.
In April, Rali with its clay models is marked in Kangra. Legend
has it that the beautiful Rali was married against her wishes and
on the way to her husband's home, she leapt into a stream. The husband
jumped in after her and trying to save both, Pali's brother also
dived info the fast flowing waters. All three died. Today, clay
models are made in every house to mark that day, while unmarried
girls pray for grooms of their choice and the newly-wedded ask for
happiness and prosperity, At Chamba, the Sui Mela is thronged by
women and children and at the village of Taraur in district Mandi,
the Mahu Nag fair Is held. The holy Markandaya fair Is held near
Bllaspur and the Rohru (Shimla) Jatar is held in honour of the deity
Shikhru. This is also the time when fishing and low altitude trekking
raise their winter barriers, while the Spring Festival Is celebrated
in Kullu from April 28 to 30.
May gushes In with a whole series of river rafting festivals and
water sports Regattas, through-out the state. Focused around the
goddess Hadimba Devi, Kullu celebrates the Dhoongri fair. In the
same district, the Banjar fair and the Sarhi Jatar are held in May.
Near Shimla at the exquisite glade of Sipur below Mashobra, the
charming Sipi fair is held. It is traditionally a time for match-making.
Throughout Himachal a variety of programmes are organised by the
Department of Language, Art and Culture. Dharamsala's (Kangra) summer
festival and the programmes organised by the Tibetan Institute for
Performing Arts, lift their curtains. The skies are blue and clear
for the Hang Gliding Rally at Billing near Kangra, white Summer
Sking glides smoothly at the Rohtang Pass.
A wide spectrum of national talent, a variety of programmes and
a splendid setting make Shimla's Summer Festival - a memorable event.
Shimla also hosts the Red Cross Fair, sport tournaments, flower
shows, a photographs and posters exhibition and a fashion show based
on folk costumes. The Kangra Festival is also held in June at Kangra,
At Solan, on the third Sunday of the month, the Solan Fair honours
the goddess Shoolini, the presiding deity of the region. On June's
full moon night, the Ghantal festival is held at Lahaul's Guru Ghantal
Monastery. And of course, given the time of the year and the possibilities
it offers, there are various camping and trekking expeditions.
In the arid trans-Himalayas. At Kaza's Ladarcha fair (Lahaul &
Spiti), the old trade routes come alive as traders barter and sell
a variety of goods and produce. At Keylong, the Lahaul Festival
is also held this month. Elsewhere in the state, Haryali (Rhyali,

Chamba's famous Minjar fair which celebrates the bounty of nature
and prays for a good harvest is normally held in August. 'Minjars',
maize shoots or silken strands, are cast on the waters of the river
Ravi and the town immerses itself in a week long of celebration.

is held immediately after the festival of Janamashtmi. At Bharmour,
28 km short of the lake, the nomadic Gaddis hold a fair for six

of the fields.
In August, several places in Chamba, Bilaspur and Sirmour have
the Gugga fair which is connected with the worship of Gugga, the
Nag Devta. The same month witnesses the Dal fair in Upper Dharamsala
in Kangra district. At Udaipur, in the Lahaul valley, the Trilokinath
temple becomes a focus; this is sacred to Hindus and Buddhists alike.
The Shravan fair is held at the shrine Naina Devi in Bilaspur district,
while the Ashapuri fair is held in Kangra.
As the rains end, autumn sends fiery colours racing through the
hills. In Kinnaur, the festival of flowers, 'Fullaich' (Phulech)
opens a window to its remarkable people and their beautiful countryside.
Villagers scout the hillsides for flowers which are collected in
the village square. These are then offered to the local deity. Then
comes a spate of revelry - singing, dancing and feasting. Kalpa
has some of the most vibrant celebrations and every twelve years,
there is a special festival. Also in September, at the village of
Chhatrari, near Chamba - and centered around the exquisite temple
of Shakti Devi - a fair is held and masked dances are performed.
The Kangra valley celebrates the festival of Sair. This is also
celebrated with stalls, singing and buffalo fights at Arki (Solan)
and Mashobra (Shimla) both near Shimla. At Nurpur in Kangra, under
the watchful walls of its old fort, the Nagini fair bids the summer
farewell. In the same district on September 27, World Tourism Day
is celebrated. In Sirmour, there is a Regatta at the Renuka Lake
and Nahan hosts the Bawan Dawadashi fair.
There is a Regatta on the waters of the Gobind Sagar, anglers vie
for the largest catch in the Sangla valley (Kinnaur) and paragliders
sail the skies at Billing (Kangra). More traditionally, over two
hundred deities converge on Kullu for its unusual Dussehra celebrations.
They pay homage to Lord Raghunath while music and colour fill the
'Silver Valley'. Numerous stalls offer a variety of local wares.
This is also the time when the International Folk Festival is celebrated.
The Jwalamukhi Temple in Kangra becomes the venue for a major fair.
At Killar and Panai (in Chamba's Pangi valley), the Phool Yatra
witnesses a remarkable display of neighborly affection and the Dehant
Nag is worshipped.
With winter Just a hop and skip away, the age-old Lavi fair fills
Rampur (Shimla) with a burst of activity. The town was once a major
entry point on the old trade routes to Kinnaur, Tibet, Ladakh and
Afghanistan. Even today, the tradition is as vibrant as ever. By
the churning waters of the river Sutlej, a variety of goods including
wool, dry fruits and horses are bartered and sold.
The Kharif crops have been harvested when at the legendary Renuka
lake (Sirmour), a fair graces its banks. There is trade, recreation
and amusement. Idols of Lord Parshurama and Renuka are ceremoniously
dipped in the sacred waters of the lake – and it is a time
when matchmaking is done. Water Sports Competitions are held at
the Maharana Pratap Sagar and Gobind Sagar.
As winter arrives, anglers shift to the Pong Dam. With the blessings
of Nobel Laureate, His Holiness the Dalai Lama, the International
Himalayan Festival is held in Kangra district. Troupes from the
Himalayan Nations are invited. The winter winds carry the delights
of ice-skating at Shimla. The extravaganza of the Ice-Skating Carnival
is normally reserved for December. Christmas celebrations overtake
Shimla and Dalhousie (Chamba) and as the church bells chime, they
carry away another event-packed year. To visit the traditional fairs
or to participate in the festivals, do confirm the dates as many
vary from year to year. A range of accomodation is available at,
or close to almost all the places.

BPA Wins Lawsuit in Ninth Circuit
by Bill Rudolph
A three-judge panel from the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has denied a petition filed by lower Columbia River Indian tribes, environmentalists and fishing groups that argued BPA had violated its statutory duty to treat fish and wildlife equitably with power. At issue were hydro operations in 2001, when flows and spill for fish were curtailed during a months-long power emergency.
The panel ruled BPA is not required to treat fish and wildlife equitably in every decision it makes, "so long as on the whole, it treats fish on a par with power."
In its defense, BPA listed nine points that the agency said proved it was treating fish equitably. The panel found BPA's argument "a reasoned explanation of its decision."
Those points included maintaining flow for fish at Vernita Bar, spilling for Spring Creek hatchery fish, buying back industrial and irrigation load, buying power on the market, calling for conservation and soliciting proposals for more wind generation.
In 2001, when the plaintiffs filed the petition, they said BPA-mandated low river flows killed so many fish that runs would be driven closer to extinction, "undoing years of work to restore them and perpetuating economic hardship in fishing dependent communities all along the coast."

A Spark Of Hope
"The Food for People" initiative of The Prem Rawat Foundation.
A major part of The Prem Rawat Foundation - TPRF's work is to help people most in need by providing nutritious food and clean water.
TPRF has provided millions of free hot meals to people in Africa, Asia, the Americas and the Middle East. They partner with non-profit organisations such as Friends of the World Food Program, Oxfam, Action Against Hunger and the Red Cross, to reach a greater number of people in the field more rapidly.
Here is a short video about a food-aid facility the Foundation opened in northeast India.
