Whoops: Police Officer Sprays Burning Man with Pepper Spray
Screen capture from video news coverage
Andrew Scoggin, The Oregonian
January 29, 2010
PORTLAND – A Portland police officer accidentally used pepper spray instead of a fire extinguisher on a man who lit himself on fire downtown near a fur store Wednesday.
Portland Police Bureau Chief Rosie Sizer said the officer was at a stoplight at Southwest 12th Avenue and Yamhill Street when she saw a man in flames.
When the officer went to get a fire extinguisher out of the trunk of her patrol car, she accidentally grabbed a large can of pepper spray used in riot control. Sizer said the pepper spray cans are red like a fire extinguisher.

"I have never heard of a situation like this," Sizer said. "To be confronted with someone fully engulfed in flames is something that is so unexpected and so outside the norm that you respond very instinctively. And in many, many ways, her acts were heroic."
The man who set himself afire, 26-year-old Daniel Shaull of Dodge City, Kan., died at a hospital later Wednesday. His father, Warren, said his son had psychiatric problems and was living on the streets.
Shaull recently boarded a bus to Oregon, where he had never been, and arrived in Portland about five days ago, his father said. He said Shaull was suicidal when he left.
"I had a feeling something was going to tragically happen," Warren Shaull said.
Though Shaull set himself on fire near Nicholas Ungar Furs at 1137 S.W. Yamhill St. — the site of numerous anti-fur protests — Warren Shaull said his son's act was not political. He said Shaull came to Portland to seek help from a religious group that ended up taking him to the Portland Rescue Mission.
"He was mentally ill," Warren Shaull said. "He was tired of living."
Warren Shaull was interviewed before Sizer's news conference and could not be reached afterward for comment.
The officer, who has been on the job for fewer than 10 years, did not know she had used pepper spray until she got back to central precinct, Sizer said. Another officer found the empty can later at the scene.
"It was a mistake that she was unaware of, and a mistake that she's heartsick about," Sizer said.
Police spokeswoman Mary Wheat said the officer is on vacation that was planned before the incident. Police are not pursuing any disciplinary action, she said. She declined to identify the officer.
Sizer said the bureau is going to look at ways to better distinguish items carried in trunks.
When Shaull set himself on fire, a person driving by also responded immediately and grabbed a fire extinguisher from his truck. Sizer said Shaull was running away from those trying to help him. Several officers and residents were later involved, she said.

This week's pick is: Midnight City by J. Barton Mitchell (<--click to add on Goodreads)
Earth has been conquered by an alien race known as the Assembly. The human adult population is gone, having succumbed to the Tone---a powerful, telepathic super-signal broadcast across the planet that reduces them to a state of complete subservience. But the Tone has one critical flaw. It only affects the population once they reach their early twenties, which means that there is one group left to resist: Children.
Holt Hawkins is a bounty hunter, and his current target is Mira Toombs, an infamous treasure seeker with a price on her head. It's not long before Holt bags his prey, but their instant connection isn't something he bargained for. Neither is the Assembly ship that crash-lands near them shortly after. Venturing inside, Holt finds a young girl who remembers nothing except her name: Zoey.
As the three make their way to the cavernous metropolis of Midnight City, they encounter young freedom fighters, mutants, otherworldly artifacts, pirates, feuding alien armies, and the amazing powers that Zoey is beginning to exhibit. Powers that suggest she, as impossible as it seems, may just be the key to stopping the Assembly once and for all.
Why on my wishlist? Why wouldn't it be!?!? First, the cover is my favorite color. Second, the Greek symbol Delta is hugely on the front. What does that mean? And I was sold at Lord of the Flies meets War of the Worlds!!! This book is gonna rock. Aliens can't create a bad book. It's out, too! I need to check my library to see if they have it in yet!

"Why Does It Rain" Videos
verse 1
Summertime has come and gone
I had you here by my side
The autumn wind was blowing strong
I grabbed your arm, held you tight
Now the air is getting cold at night
And you say you have to leave
On the weather report there is
No Christmas in white
But it's you and the snow that I need
Why does it rain on Christmas?
When I'm wishing for some snow
Why can't you stay, if you'll miss me?
Do you really have to go?
I know when Santa Claus is coming
He will give me something
But all I need is you and the snow
Why does it rain on Christmas?
I don't know

Saturday: 4:30 p.m.Sunday: 8:30 a.m.Sunday: 10:30 a.m.
How does a person become a Catholic?
Whether a person is unbaptized or baptized in another tradition, if the Catholic way of life is something God seems to invite you to consider, here are some things to do:
The Rite of Christian Initiation (RCIA) is a parish ministry under the leadership of the Pastor or his designated director. It is the process the Catholic Church uses to welcome, instruct, apprentice and incorporate new members.
At St. Joseph, members of the RCIA attend the 8:30 AM Sunday Mass and participate in the first part of the service, the Liturgy of the Word. After this, the Celebrant of the Mass calls RCIA members forward, gives them a brief instruction, and invites them to go with the Director and Catechist to begin the first part of the session. When the Mass ends (about 9:30), the group moves to another building for refreshments. The instructional session resumes and ends by 11:15 AM.
RCIA begins with the Rite of Acceptance. This year it will begin in September though new members can be folded into the group after that.
The journey to full membership in the Catholic Church is an individual matter. After sufficient instruction and prayerful discernment, provided there are no obstacles, members are called to the Sacraments of Initiation by the Bishop of the Diocese.

"Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things." ~ Frank Howard Clark
Every day we are presented with the most amazing things to enjoy. We don't need to wait for the next big thing to come along when we have perfectly-sized things already with us.
These things don't come with a price tag or require much effort to create; they just need us to take the time to enjoy their immeasurable value. And when we do, they can light up the world with their beauty.
The small things can be found in how we live, how we love and how we can make the most of each day. The small things are easy to spot because they put out a light so bright that the darkness doesn't stand a chance against the healing power that comes bursting through.
The last several weeks I've been making a list of the small things that bring me peace, faith and hope – beautiful, amazing hope. Here are a few that make my world shine a little brighter:
Hearing my children say, "I love you Dad" is medicine for my soul.
Finding the words that express exactly how I feel.
The sweet good-night kiss Mary Beth gives.
Taking the first sip of my morning coffee.
Witnessing kindness come alive by the action of others.
The taste of salt water on my lips after plunging into the ocean.
Providing a home that makes my family feel safe.
Helping someone find their answer.
A favorite song played toward the end of my run.
Receiving an unexpected love note from my wife.
Breathing in the fresh air at a baseball game.
The guilty pleasure of a Diet Coke and popcorn.
Admiring the snow cover the world like a blanket made from grace.
Watching my children build their lives and then holding my breath when there is a stumble.
Sometimes the simple path to enjoying the small things takes us to a place where the darkness seems a little less intimidating and the light feels absolutely amazing.
What gives you light?
What is A Simple Path?
This post is in A Simple Path, a twice-weekly series of short pieces inspired by my own life experiences. Each post is a simple path to experiencing something wonderful: maybe seeing life from a different perspective, or celebrating its beauty. Click here to read all posts in the series.

Every year there is an event called eNTERFACE. It is announced as a summer workshop, but it is a bit more. About teams work on different multimodal human-computer interaction projects for 4 weeks, and there are some tutorials and lectures. You can submit a project proposal yourself if you like, or you can join the team for the project of somebody else.
Last year Christian Muehl from our group was team leader for a project which resulted in the game Bacteria Hunt, in which you play an amoeba controlled by keyboard, SSVEP, and alpha activity. The goal is to eat as many bacteria as you can.
I loved the whole idea and atmosphere of eNTERFACE then, so this year I could not help but propose a project of my own. We got a nice team together, and implemented Wild Photoshoot. Continue reading

But how does anyone really live this? Especially in an arena like mental health where people are, yanno, crazy.
I can only speak for myself, but the best approach I've come across so far is Intentional Peer Support, www.intentionalpeersupport.org.
What makes Intentional Peer Support (IPS) so special…? IPS offers a principled, practical theory for putting human rights principles into actual practice. It fosters mutually-engaging, sustainable relationships that honor diversity, grow understanding, and generate win-wins for all concerned.
When I first came across IPS, I had a foot in both worlds. I was the director of a peer-run wellness and recovery center – but I was also a licensed mental health counselor. IPS convinced me not only that force and coercion are harmful – but that it is possible to create meaningful, mutually-responsible communication across vast divides in human consciousness. It also showed me the power and importance of human relationships in generating the energy and opportunities required for personal and social change.
Better yet, the power of IPS comes largely from creating relationships that actually work in the real world. Thus:
- With IPS, I can include my own needs while also supporting those of others.
- With IPS, I can live my own truth and my own values while also honoring beliefs and values of others that are often very different.
- With IPS, I can have my own experiences and my own reality and still communicate meaningfully with someone who is seeing, hearing or experiencing life from a totally different realm.
- With IPS, I can negotiate conflicting priorities and paradigms in inclusive ways that add value for all concerned.
This is very different from traditional mental health relationships, where the ground rules often are:
- Different for providers and clients
- Decided unilaterally by the provider
- The same for all clients and decided in advance
- Take it or leave it (or even imposed involuntarily)
- One-way in terms of who gets help and who gives it
- One-way in terms of who risks sharing personal matters and who doesn't
- Applicable only to the world that mental health professionals like to operate in
That is not a model for human rights relationships! It also is not a model for how people in the real world mostly treat each other. Imagine starting out on a friendship with someone who actually treated you this way. Few of us would stick around for very long. A family that operated in this way probably wouldn't be seen as very healthy either.
Just as important – what would we learn about how to treat other people if we did? Basically, the model for conventional therapy relationships communicates that the people who get paid get power. They get to set the ground rules and tell others what is acceptable. They get to decide when the relationship starts and when it ends. They also get to decide who talks and when - what is important to talk about and what isn't.
This unilateral way of interacting is a recipe for hard feelings, resentments and human rights abuses. Instead of teaching respect and regard for different needs, outlooks and ways of being, it says that compliance with powerful others is required – and that's just how it is.
It's hardly surprising, then, that many of us do not benefit from mental health relationships as much as some might hope. It's also not surprising that many of us leave mental health relationships with some complicated feelings about power and control. We may end up actively looking for ways to restore our sense of self-worth and individuality.
This may lead to exactly the things that conventional mental health says it wants to prevent. We may take power and impose ourselves on others in the domineering, unilateral ways we learned. Or we may put our right to individuality in other people's faces.
Conversely, we may play it safe and give up power to domineering others. We may let ourselves be pushed around. Or we my rely excessively on others rather than developing our own unique needs and gifts.
In contrast, the learnings from IPS relationships actually promote mutual regard and respect for human rights. Unlike conventional mental health, IPS relationships:
- Go both ways
- Seek to create genuine, meaningful human connections
- Recognize that everyone has needs and limits
- Value the interests and viewpoints of all concerned
- Don't prioritize one person's knowing over others
- Seek to negotiate differences openly and honestly
- Try to do what is good for relationships, versus elevating some individuals over others
- Make clear that relationships need to work for everyone who is involved
- Encourage self-awareness, co-learning and ongoing co-reflection by all participants.
- Define the success of relationships in terms of whether they create mutually transformative individual and social change.
Better yet, the learning and gains from IPS practice are are entirely transferable. The principles of IPS work just as well at home as they do in clinical or peer support settings. They work in all kinds of contexts, for all kinds of issues and for people from all walks of life. Thus, IPS can be used to support meaningful conversations between Republicans and Democrats and capitalists and socialists. The same is true for Christians, Muslims, agnostics and atheists - and for people of all incomes, classes, races, genders and national origins.
This is good for several reasons. IPS supports conversations that are respectful of human rights to occur. It also prevents the misunderstanding and escalations that lead to 911, police or crisis squads being called in. This is not just true for mental health settings, but potentially everywhere.
Thus, IPS practice resources ordinary people to have conversations that resolve conflicts, if not avoid them altogether. It supports people to connect with each other and value each other across human differences. When people like each other and feel comfortable, authorities don't get called in.
This too is good news. If authorities are not needed - and therefore not called - no one gets profiled, confronted, shackled, tazed or shot. No one gets dragged in, locked up, restrained or force drugged. No one gets removed from their life, their home, their job, their family - and potentially loses all of this. No one gets diagnosed, labeled or further set back by another recurrence. People simply go on with their lives and have another uneventful day as neighbors, family or friends.
This experience is not theoretical. I have lived it, experienced it and seen it happen again and again. It leads me to believe that IPS is a promising practice – not only for reconciling human rights and mental health practices – but also a variety of pressing social justice concerns. It offers a way of thinking about relationships that honors diversity and creates added value for all concerned.
Over the next few weeks, this blog will go into the practice of Intentional Peer Support more deeply. It will seek to explain, in clear concise terms, the core theory of IPS and how it works in action. It will try to demonstrate how IPS can be used in mental heath and other social justice contexts to create the human rights-informed relationships that many of us are seeking.

When we elected to focus on a positive Rally GA message this year, we could never have imagined the effort that would be put forth in Lakeland, Florida, following a tornado that touched down near the Sun 'n Fun fly-in. With wind and rain the likes of which not many of us had ever seen, the week-long airshow extravaganza was, for many, turned upside down—literally. Thankfully, there were only a few injuries, none serious. But, once the storm passed, we saw the sad reality of dozens of damaged aircraft, some flipped over by the strong winds. We at AOPA were exceptionally fortunate—our tent withstood the storm and none of our aircraft was damaged. I was among several AOPA staff members who had flown our own personal aircraft to Sun 'n Fun, and all of us were lucky enough to be spared the damage and accompanying heartbreak that afflicted so many others.
Much has been said of the destructive nature of the storm, but the wonderful element of this episode is found in the spirit of the people of Sun 'n Fun—those who work there and those who attended the show.
Shortly after the storm, with the extent of the damage still unknown and more storms threatening, the Sun 'n Fun grounds were closed. As visitors and exhibitors left for the day, the Sun 'n Fun staff and thousands of volunteers, led by John Burton, made miracles happen. They simply did not sleep until the campus was cleaned up, made safe, and ready to reopen. Within 24 hours of the storm, displays had been rebuilt and a sense of normalcy returned.
Throughout the remainder of the week, the spirit of the aviation community was at its finest. Everywhere you looked, people were helping people. Campers who lost everything found housing with fellow pilots, who invited strangers into their homes and accommodations.
Best of all, the hard work and dedication of the Sun 'n Fun team was rewarded with thousands of attendees descending into Lakeland, which saw nothing but sunny weather for the final three days of the event. And, we heard encouraging stories about aircraft and equipment purchases.
The general aviation community is resilient. That resilience was certainly tested, but the attitude and total commitment demonstrated by so many staff, volunteers, and attendees was something to behold.
For me, the chance to be with so many members over the course of the weeklong program was wonderful. I find these gatherings rejuvenating. So many people express their enthusiasm and appreciation for the work we do at AOPA. And, many share their thoughts on the challenges we face in general aviation.
Rep. Sam Graves (R-Mo.) organized a Town Hall-style meeting where I joined with EAA's Rod Hightower, GAMA's Pete Bunce, HAI's Matt Zucarro, and Steve Brown from the Commemorative Air Force. We touched on developments in Washington from avgas to NextGen. And, we spoke about the commitment we all share to build the pilot population.
The week also included several contacts wit
"The attitude and total commitment demonstrated by so many Sun 'n Fun staff, volunteers, and attendees was something to behold."
h FAA Administrator Randy Babbitt, who led his own forum to discuss issues including the FAA's safety initiatives designed to reduce aircraft accidents.
Of course, we were also able to see a wide range of aircraft, avionics, and other aircraft equipment. While Sun 'n Fun offers so much on the ground, the show in the air featuring Sean D. Tucker, Patty Wagstaff, Mike Goulian, the Blue Angels, and so many others provided a unique level of excitement.
I share the remarkable experiences of Sun 'n Fun as a way to thank the dedicated people who worked so hard to make sure thousands enjoyed an exceptional event. I also encourage all of you during the coming months to take every opportunity to celebrate general aviation and attend the air shows and aviation gatherings held across the country.
Don't miss our dozens of AOPA Live segments filmed on location at Sun 'n Fun. We had a chance to interview several exciting airshow legends, along with leaders in the general aviation community. You will find this and more at AOPA Online.
AOPA President Craig Fuller piloted his Bonanza A36 to Sun 'n Fun this year. Email AOPA President Craig Fuller at [email protected].

I am always surprised by the fact that French toasts became fancy breakfast. Don't get me wrong it's delicious, but knowing the origin spoils the fanciness a bit.
In France, French toasts are called "pain perdu", which literally translates to "lost bread", and you bake them with leftovers of old bread (1 to 2 days old generally) that you don't want to let spoil and throw in the trash. It's a dish you have for breakfast, snacks, or even dinner ... having breakfast for dinner is always a hoot.
You can savor them with jam, maple syrup, sugar, Nutella®, or even plain it is as delicious. You can even go a bit further and add bacon and eggs on them ... as you wish.
You can savor them with jam, maple syrup, sugar, Nutella®, or even plain it is as delicious. You can even go a bit further and add bacon and eggs on them ... as you wish.
To make about 6 slices, you will need:
- One baguette or other old loaf of bread
- 1/2 liter of milk
- 3 tablespoons of sugar
- 3 eggs
- Some butter to grease the pan (about 1 tablespoon)
Preparation time: 5-10 minutes
Cooking time: A few minutes
Start by cutting your bread in slices, as many as you want.
In a saucepan, heat up your milk and sugar. Don't boil it, just warm it up.
While your milk-sugar mixture is warming up, slightly beat your eggs in a bowl.
Once the milk is warm, remove it from the heat.
Melt some butter in a pan.
Everything is now ready to make your toasts.
Dip a piece of bread in the saucepan containing the sugar flavoured milk.
Then dip it in the beaten eggs.
And finally place it on the pan.
After few minutes, turn over the pieces of bread.
Repeat the same process with all your bread pieces.
As with all the other recipes we put on this site, this is meant to be easy to follow. We are hobby chefs who love to cook, and we are always up for learning new techniques. If you know of anything in this recipe which can be done a different way, whether for increased ease of preparation or better taste, please add a comment below!

only at HotManilaNights
Getting Philippine bar girls to pose for the camera nude is very easy. Getting them to fuck in front of the camera is even easier. Just throw a couple thousand peso's in front of sexy filipina girls face, and you'll see their eyes open wide, along with their legs.
Yvonny was a little bit different, as after learning about our wishes to make her a pornstar, she had some reservations. The first reservation was 1) how big is your dick? and the 2) Ok, if it's not too big, than how much money do I get?
Well, our stud wasn't all that big, and fit into this small tight Filipina pussy very well. He pounded that shaved beaver hard and as she got more and more into the scene, she wanted more of it inside her. Yvonny is a sexy hottie who has filmed porn before at the Trike Patrol. Now it's her turn to fuck in front of the camera at HotManilaNights. She did a great job, and made some cash in the process. By the way, she wants to cum back for more and do it again soon. We'll keep you posted.

We imagine a different reality for the public sector: one designed to embrace digital transformation that has created a new normal, fundamentally changing the relationship between people and government.
Society has forever changed, necessitating a shift in the way the public sector connects to the people it serves. Keeping up - or catching up - with this transformation is not just a matter of "going digital." The bigger shift remains in creating a new understanding of the public sector's role, and in transforming the entire experience, both internally and externally, for organizations and those they serve.
Rising consumer expectations and increasingly connected customer experiences have put a spotlight on the need for digital transformation within the public sector. To start, government, health, nonprofit, and education organizations have emphasized focus on future-proofing their businesses through enhanced citizen experiences, but further strategy is needed to close the digital divide. For insight on these efforts, we asked a panel of public sector industry experts their thoughts on what's working, what's not, and what's coming next.
Our work for government, health, nonprofit, and education organizations is enabling a new digital future for the public sector.

The radiator has been re-cored and the cooling system flushed. A new windshield was installed and the rear glass was resealed.There is no rust around either window.
The original white parchment interior is in amazing condition the only wear spot is on the driver side seat and is pictured, the driver side seat is also power.The white parchment top is also original and an absolutely amazing condition for vinyl.There is no interior damage from mouse or other rodents, and the car is not full of mildew because it was stored inside for most of it's life.
The steering wheel is uncracked as is the dash pad, which is truly amazing.
The trunk mat tire cover and spare and Jack are all original and in good condition, there is some surface rust underneath the rear rubber mat just from a little moisture sitting under it, see pictures. Windshield was replaced and the original staples are still in place.
The majority of the paint is original, there is been some work on the quarter panels and you can also see the little bit of damage that the car has from the pictures.
Most everything on this car is original and it is mechanically sound. Starts right up and drives good down the road, obviously not perfect as it is been sitting for quite some time, but with some attention would be a super nice driver.Even has all the original T3 headlights that work.
Transmission sometimes stays in first until you let off, I assume it's probably a sticky valve in the valve body also from sitting.
This car is almost rust free and has absolutely zero cancer and the undercarriage is clean.
This car would get some serious attention just because it is so original!Good luck and happy bidding.

OUP casts a spell on Metrostar
Oxford University Press has brought in Metrostar to manage the licensing programme for hit children's book series, Winnie the Witch.
The two companies are now developing a new style guide for the brand - which has been translated into 27 languages and has sold over 3.5 million copies - and will be targeting the apparel, giftware, plush, toys, stationery and accessories sectors.
In 2009, Winnie the Witch was selected by the publishing industry for the World Book Day promotion, and went on to be the highest selling WBD title that year. The character will again feature in 2012, its 25th birthday year.
"Winnie is a refreshingly different witch," said Metrostar boss, Claire Potter. "Her personality is as colourful as her outfit and we're sure she will be loved by licensees and retailers as much as she is by parents and children."

Bruce Beresford-Redman, the reality TV producer, we all know that. But the question here is whether he is a nice guy or too nice to have his relationship ended with his wife, Monica Beresford-Redman.
The lady was found dead in a sewer on Thursday at the Moon Place resort, where the family was staying in Mexico. As reported a security guard saw the two arguing over some issue, and it seemed to be hefty one. Also there were other sources that say that the couple wasn't the one like those too much into love and all. These people smiled and spoke less among them.
These signs of their disorderly relationship raises suspect, whether it could not be just an accident. And it's proven to be tough times for Bruce, who can be accused of her wife's murder. But the friends of the family hold a different tone altogether.
They say that they had always been happy together, and are sure that there is no indulgence of Bruce in this entire incident. If not sure, they at least hope that it is no so. Having their concern for the couple's children, they wish Bruce being a nice guy, is not involved in such stuff.

Jeff Fisher to the Oakland Raiders: Why This Move Makes SenseJanuary 10, 2012
Jeff Fisher continues to make headlines as the most likely candidate for every available coaching position in the NFL. There has been analysis as to why he is so great, and there has been analysis as to why he isn't so great. Ultimately, he will find a new home as the new head coach of an NFL franchise, and until then we will speculate about where that will be.
Today, the Oakland Raiders made a somewhat surprising move and fired coach Hue Jackson. Jackson had one season as Raiders head coach, and most analysts would say he did a reasonable job. The Raiders finished 8-8 on the season, and were in the division race until the last game of the year. They significantly fell off toward the end of the season, losing four out of their last five game, but they had reason to be optimistic heading into the offseason.
Jackson took responsibility for the team missing the playoffs, and his end-of-season speech was relatively inspiring. After losing the final game of the season, he said this in his post game press conference:
Via ESPN.com:
I'm going take a stronger hand in this whole team, this whole organization. There's no way that I'm going to feel like I feel today a year from now. I promise you that. There's no question. Defensively, offensively and special teams. I'm not feeling like this no more. This is a joke.
Regardless of how this offseason would have played out for the Raiders, it is irrelevant now that they are in the search for a new head coach.
Cue Jeff Fisher.
Of course we are going to talk about Fisher and yet another coaching vacancy. The difference between this job, though, and the jobs in Miami and St. Louis, is the fact that I feel this is the best opportunity for Fisher to succeed.
First, looking at the Miami head coaching gig, I just don't get the feeling they are what Fisher is looking for. They don't have a "young" up and coming franchise QB. They don't have an extremely high draft pick, and frankly they have been looking too hard at coaches and front office moves to make them win as opposed to planning and molding the on-field talent.
The Rams position is a more likely scenario for Fisher. This past Sunday, Fisher met with their franchise quarterback Sam Bradford, and he interviewed for the job a few days before that.
Does anyone else find it a bit "weird" that Fisher hasn't made a commitment yet? Typically a coach accepts a position within a few days of the interview. Fisher seemingly told the Rams, "I'll let you know," and everyone else can just speculate on where/when he will let them know.
There have been indications a possible Rams move to L.A. is somewhat of a hold-up in the deal, and it should be. We all remember Fisher's last coaching gig where he moved a franchise from Houston to Nashville. Fisher doesn't speak of the move too fondly, and not having a home field for two seasons certainly left a bad taste in his mouth. Looking at his next position, I can respect the idea of not wanting to go through that again.
Then there are the Raiders. Certainly a stories franchise, marred in recent years by the sometimes crazy behavior of their owner Al Davis.
The 2011 campaign saw Davis pass away, and the franchise now has the opportunity to correct the wrongs that the late Davis brought upon the franchise.
Since 2002 the Raiders have had sic head coaches. The most of any NFL team by far. The team has been struggling to find consistency since the '90s despite having some years where they were AFC favorites.
Is there any other coach on the market who screams consistency better than Fisher? As a franchise looking to find someone who can stick around for a while, Fisher is possibly the only candidate with a proven track record in that department.
Fisher spent 16 seasons with the Tennessee Titans and they were competitive most seasons.
Add in Fisher has the USC/ Southern California connection and you have the Raiders' first selling point.
The Raiders have a heck of a running attack with Michael Bush and Darren McFadden, and they do have a capable quarterback in Carson Palmer, which having a good QB was one of Jeff Fishers "bug-a-boos."
The Raiders ranked 11th in passing yards (247 YPG) and seventh in rushing yards (131 YPG), certainly promising numbers.
The Raiders struggled defensively ranking at the bottom of the NFL in defense. This is another reason Fisher would be a great fit. He is a defensive minded coach who likes tough defenses. His penchant for building tough defense would fit right in with Oakland's fanbase and the black hole would welcome toughness.
New Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie is going to have to make a big decision in the upcoming week. With Davis passing away, it is imperative that Oakland reverses its recent history with coaching departures and media fights amongst departed employees.
Stability is oftentimes the name of the game in the NFL, and as Oakland looks to find their new face of the franchise, they need to look for someone who is comfortable taking accountability for the franchise and standing out front answering the tough questions.
Fisher is such a candidate, and I feel as though Oakland is a much better option for Fisher than St. Louis or Miami. Fisher is expected to make a decision on his coaching future this week, and all indications have been that the Rams are the front runner. Time will tell if this Oakland vacancy changed anything, right now it is still looking like St. Louis has the upper hand.

I've developed sun-sensitivity issues since I've moved to London, so I never go out without sunscreen. This product is good for dry skins, but its slick texture would probably slide right off oily ones. Nevertheless, it protects my skin reliably at a good price, doesn't trigger acne, and doesn't cause rashes, so I forgive the banal floral smell and all.

Welcome to The Gods of Lovecraft blog-a-thon within a blog-a-thon. From the first post:
Over 9 of the next 10 days I will be featuring 10 of the 12 authors in this collection. Each has answered a series of questions from me about their God, why they picked it, what their favorite scary books are, and more. It's very similar to the posts I have been running by authors all month, just with a Lovercraftian spin. Expect each day's post to bring you a handful of new authors and titles to add to your arsenal of books you can suggest to patrons.We begin today with the editor of this collection, Aaron French.
Please remember you can also enter for a chance to win one of two copies of The Gods of H.P. Lovecraft by emailing me at zombiegrl75 [at] gmail [dot] com by 10/29 at 11:59pm.
Who are you?
Aaron J. French, editor-in-chief of Dark Discoveries magazine, editor of various other anthologies too, as well the editor of many novels with JournalStone Publishing. I also write my own dark fiction, a blend of supernaturalism, surrealism, and esoteric spirituality—plus some good old fashion straight-up horror thrown in.
Who is your favorite horror author [besides Lovecraft]?
In terms of weird fiction, it's Arthur Machen. He's a master and there are no other authors in that subgenre who match him. But I also like Thomas Ligotti, Philip K. Dick, and Stephen King. Oh and Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, Tanith Lee, and Storm Constantine.
Why do you love horror?
For me, it's the presence of the supernatural. Slashers and super gory thrillers don't represent the horror genre to me. The presence of that unknown, "above-nature" encounter with a world beyond the ordinary, with which the characters of the book must grapple, is what I like about horror. It forces readers to remember that the world around them isn't as it appears to be, that it's much more mysterious than we as human beings, in our arrogance, believe the world to be when perceived only with our five senses.
Which "God" did you focus on in the Anthology? What drew you to this character?
Well I picked all the gods for the anthology, actually. But I got a lot of help from Donald Tyson, and also a little help from ST Joshi, in making the final decision about which "gods" were to be included. I feel the book has the best representation of Lovecraft's bestiary.
Please share some of the authors you are reading and enjoying now.
With all the editing I do, I'm fortunate enough to get to read a lot of contemporary authors in the field. At the moment, I'm really digging Laird Barron, Brian Evenson, Elizabeth Hand, Mark Valentine, Richard Gavin, Nnedi Okorafor, and Graham Hancock (GH is writing fiction now).
What other works do you have out now?
At the moment, I have an Omnibus collection of my first two anthologies, Monk Punk and The Shadow of the Unknown, out with Hazardous Press. JournsalStone released my latest anthology, Songs of the Satyrs, all-new tales about mythical satyrs. My single author collection Aberrations of Reality is out from Crowded Quarantine Productions, and it features many of my best tales in the vein of supernaturalism, dark surrealism, and esoteric horror.
What are you working on?
I'm working on a very super-secret new anthology with a colleague of mine, and my novella The Dream Beings will be out in January of 2016 with Samhain Publishing.

Obama-Scam… The Rezko Trial Opens in Chi-Town
Indicted Tony Rezko has been a major supporter of the suffering Obama's.
The $1.6 million Obama home in Chicago sits next to the Rezko lot. (CBS2)
CBS2 Chicago still has video posted on the Obama house deal from a November 2006 report.
The Rezko Trial opens today.
Barack Obama may be called in as a witness for the Defense.
John Fund has a report on this filthy case of Chicago corruption at The Wall Street Journal today:
…Mr. Obama admits that he and Mr. Rezko took a tour of the house before it and the adjoining plot were sold. Financial records given to federal prosecutors a year later show Mrs. Rezko had a salary of only $37,000 and assets of $35,000. In court proceedings at that time, to explain how much his bail should be, Mr. Rezko declared that he had "no income, negative cash flow, no liquid assets."
So where did the money for Mrs. Rezko's $125,000 down payment — and the collateral for her $500,000 loan from a local bank controlled by Amrish Mahajan, like Mr. Rezko a Chicago political fixer — come from?
The London Times reports that, three weeks before the land transactions, Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi billionaire living in London, loaned $3.5 million to Mr. Rezko, who was his Chicago business partner. Mr. Auchi's office says he had "no involvement in or knowledge of" the property purchase. Mr. Auchi is a press-shy property developer (estimated worth: $4 billion) who was convicted of corruption in France in 2003 for his involvement in the Elf affair, the biggest political and corporate fraud inquiry in Europe since World War II. He was fined $3 million and given a 15-month prison term that was suspended provided he committed no further crimes.
Mr. Auchi was also a top official in the Iraqi oil ministry in the 1970s. He has for years vigorously denied charges he had dealings with Saddam Hussein after the first Gulf War. However, an official report to the Pentagon inspector general in 2004 obtained by the Washington Times cited "significant and credible evidence" of involvement by Mr. Auchi's companies in the Oil for Food scandal and illicit smuggling of weapons to the Hussein regime.
In 2003, Mr. Auchi began investing in Chicago real estate with Mr. Rezko. In April 2007, after his indictment, Mr. Auchi loaned another $3.5 million to Mr. Rezko, a loan that Mr. Rezko hid from U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald's office. When Mr. Fitzgerald learned that the money was being parceled out to Mr. Rezko's lawyers, family and friends, he got Mr. Rezko's bond revoked in January and had him put in jail as a potential flight risk.
In court papers, the prosecutor noted that Mr. Rezko had traveled 26 times to the Middle East between 2002 and 2006, mostly to his native Syria and other countries that lack extradition treaties with the U.S. Curiously, Mr. Auchi has also lent an unknown sum of money to Chris Kelly, who, like Mr. Rezko, was a significant fund-raiser for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (himself under investigation by a federal grand jury as an alleged beneficiary of the Rezko shakedowns). Mr. Kelly is himself under indictment for obstructing an IRS probe into his activities.
Mr. Obama says he has "no recollection" of meeting Mr. Auchi during a 2004 trip the billionaire made to Chicago, and no one believes he knew of his background…
Mr. Auchi was also a donor to the Obama campaign:
The Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA lent money to Mr Obama's fundraiser in May 2005. Fintrade's directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi's wife. Mr Auchi's spokesman declined to respond to a question about whether he was linked to this business.
Then there's this… During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack Obama has received nearly three times more campaign cash from indicted businessman Tony Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged- Sun-Times.

This Chicago trial reeks already.
It will be interesting to see if the Golden Boy comes out of this one unscathed.
Or, if anyone in Illinois comes out of this standing.

The results of an audit support the official vote count showing that President Hugo Chavez won this month's recall referendum, the head of the Organization of American States said Saturday.
Venezuelan election officials, along with observers from the OAS and the Atlanta-based Carter Center, conducted the audit by inspecting ballots from 150 voting stations to dispel opposition claims of fraud during the Aug. 15 referendum.
"With this process concluded, we think the results released by the National Elections Council are compatible with the check we have done," OAS Secretary General Cesar Gaviria said. "In our opinion, the type of check used in this audit of the electronic system doesn't leave us much doubt regarding the result."
Gaviria did not provide specific details of the audit result. According to the official results, Chavez captured 59 percent of the vote.
The recall vote came after three years of violence and political unrest, including a three-month general strike launched by the opposition in December 2002 that paralyzed oil exports and cost the nation an estimated $7.5 billion. Violence has erupted periodically, with 19 people killed in an anti-Chavez protest shortly before the president was ousted in a short-lived coup in 2002, and 12 people slain during anti-government riots in March.
Opposition leaders refused to participate in the audit, saying the methodology was inadequate and would fail to detect fraud. They claim that touch-screen voting machines at hundreds of polling stations produced the same number of "yes" votes in favor of ousting Chavez, indicating that the machines were rigged to impose a ceiling on anti-Chavez votes.
"It's evident that the opposition has huge doubts" regarding the results, said Gaviria. "We cannot say categorically there was not fraud, we are saying we didn't find it."

Roberta Lavadour on Artists Books
There is an excellent introduction to what an artists book is in an interview with Roberta Lavadour on Oregon Public Broadcasting. Her work and her studio are great to see and she speaks eloquently about artists books and the creative process.

Word-A-Day Journal
I have always loved the idea of faithfully keeping a journal with something written or drawn for each day of the year. In practice it has never worked. I decided that I might have a chance if I only had to write one word a day and that it was important to keep it small and simple so I wouldn't be tempted to start more elaborately and then quit because I couldn't live up to the expectation. I designed a series of small books, one for each month, that go in a box made from a cereal box. My plan is to write the word at around the same time every day, probably before I start to get dinner ready. I like the idea of deciding on the word that will sum up the day. We shall see.

Sidharth Bhatia
- No Full Stops in India by Mark Tully
Viking, 352 pp, £16.99, November 1991, ISBN 0 670 81919 0
Correspondents of Western news organisations posted in India usually treat it as a soft assignment. There is much to report by way of colour, exotica and, the staple of all journalists, catastrophe. Large numbers of people are always dying in the most newsworthy ways – train accidents, floods and occasionally even gas leaks. The vast sub-continent always seems to be in the throes of a turmoil: ethnic strife, caste and religious riots and political assassinations are routine. Terrorism has become so commonplace that the Delhi-based hacks don't even bother to fly up to Punjab any more. Then there is the lifestyle. The dollar goes a very long way here and a foreign correspondent's salary gets him not only a large bungalow but also a retinue of servants for the memsahib. The natives speak or at least understand English and are hospitable and friendly. The infrastructure is creaky but what the hell, you can't have everything. It's great for a three-year stint.

Such ways that often the question arises after reading the book, how can we tell if these stories are true? The truth is, we canÃÂt. But if we were really interested and wanted to find some more information or, discover more truths, we could go and check out the sources from the biograpghies. That path usually leads to more sources, and then we might be abke to find some witnessÃÂ accounts. But how do we know if the witness account is objective or subjective and what agenda the witness may have in telling their side of the story. They may exaggerate some informarion to make themselves or the person sound better, they may even make up some new fact that was never known before. So who draws the fine line between truth and false? We cannot know.
Maybe it is a good thing that we cannot know the exact truth.
Then we would never have controversies. Controversies like the life and death of Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes.
Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes are two famous figureheads of the twentieth century. Plath was most famous for her powerful poetry and the controversy between her and Ted Hughes. Hughes was also famous for his poetry, although he is just as well known for being the husband of the suicidal Plath.
PlathÃÂs story itself is not a happy one, with only rare moments of joy or happiness. PlathÃÂs father died when she was only 8 years of age, and she claimed to always have had a bad relationship with her mother. Her semi-autobiographical book, The Bell Jar, is about a young womanÃÂs trail that endend up in a nervous breakdown in 1950ÃÂs America, discusses this. The high points in Plaths life include winning thePullitzer Prize for poetry, and becoming a fullbright scholar, a very powerful award that is only awarded to the brightest of people. It is by winning these awards that she met Hughes, a recently awarded poet Laureate at Cambridge University, at a party to celebrate a new magazine based on Hughes and others poetry. Hughes was a well brought up English school kid, who at just a young age won Britains Poet Laureate, a highly prestigious award also. It is at this first meeting that their relationship blossomed into a happily ever after marriage. The only thing is, that didnÃÂt last for long.
It is a well known fact among the Plath/Hughes cult that Plath idolized Hughes. Frieda Hughes stated in an interview that this may have been due to the fact that her father died when she was at such a young age, she looked at Hughes not only has a lover sonn to be husband, but as a father figure to herself. So what was Hughes really like? Was he this tough man that didnÃÂt respectt Plath or her poetry? Was he the person that the feminists made him out to be? A misogynist? Even a Murderer?The truth is, we cant really know. In the Frieda Hughes interview, Hughes is defending her father. ÃÂQuuoteÃÂStill, we cannot really determine the ruth. Ted Hughes may have acted differently around his Children to his Wife. The only way we an get a reall picture of Hughes is to put together ht efacts that we know. Hughes was like a rockstar in the poet world. After winning his prestigious award, his name was really put out there, and he became a household name. He mixed with the high social class and used his poetry to express it. He fitted in well. He had women from all ages looking towards him. He was God.
He lived happily for several years with Plath. He was her comtemporary and according to the article of his daughter,Frieda, Hughes helped Plath edit and refine her poems.
So now we have a good idea on what Hughes was like, we have to consider what Plath was like? Were they a good match? Sylvia had a long pychiatric history. She was depressed for the majority of her lifetime and was taking anti-depressants.
At the time of her death, she was writing her most famous poems, such as a week before her death, she wrote the poem Edge, a poem about the accomplishments of a dead woman. Her resentment of not being able to fulfill her work; her fantatic skill, was strong. Her ability to cope as a mother kept fading away, her break up tore her apart, her self cofindence as a woman was a losing battle, her life was in her eyes, leaving her.Sylvia Plath tradigally killed herself on Febrauary 11, 1963In the 60ÃÂs the feministÃÂs movement were strong. They displayed Plath as a maytyr, a true hero in theor eyes, only to be destroyed by Hughes. Was HughesÃÂ actions responsible for PlathÃÂs death? Frieda Hughes claims that ÃÂ Hughes dodnt leave, Plath asked him to leave.ÃÂ Personally, I think that Hughes was not responsible for her death. He may have added to the pile of reasons and sure, it was a big part of the pile, but she was a victim. A victim of this terrible disease.
Across the other side of the world, Che Guevara was also doing a job that would make him famous for the rest of his life. He was the leader of Cuba, and had just revolutionized Cuba against the Batista regime.
Che Guevara is a well known revolutionist of the 1960ÃÂs. If you have never heard the name, you would have almost definitely seen his famous picture, (show picture on slideshow).
Che Guevara in a nutshell:ÃÂWas born on 14 May 1928 in ArgentinaÃÂAS he was growing up, he was always interested in the world around himÃÂHe took a large motorcycle oddesey around South America from 1952-1954ÃÂMet and befriended Fidel Castro in 1955ÃÂDecided to help in the revolution of Cuba in 1956ÃÂBecomes Minister for Industry in Cuba in 1961ÃÂFalls out with the Soviets and the USAÃÂHad a communistic view of Cuba with a capitalist leaningÃÂCreated infrastructures and sustainable living in CubaÃÂRegarded as a hero to the Cuban PeopleÃÂBecame a threat to governments around South America as a revolutionistÃÂKidnapped and later killed by Bolivian armed forces while trying to revolutionize Bolivia.
The biograpghy, Che Guevara, by David Downing explores CheÃÂs life in detail. The book presents Che as an optimist, who strives for a better world and sometimes in the form of violence, if a government needs to be taken over. He compares Che with other leading figureheads of the twentieth century, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King Jr., in that they both had the same outlooks, the same belif that social harmony could be achieved. CheÃÂs point in life was to help others that were less fortunate than himself, and he lived passionately towards his point.
The biographyh is writte I a ocumetary style form , which gies more eice that it is true A timelie is also iclue with other famous people that were iole with his life are gig irect quotes about Che a his lifeJust like Sylvia Plath and Td Hughes, Che Guevara has had countless biographies written about him. Interestis is still at a peak especially this year as it is the 40th anniversary of his death.
At the time of Che GuevaraÃÂs death, he was such a wanted man that many countries around Bolivia didnÃÂt believe that they had found and kidnapped him. The Bolivian government didnÃÂt know how else to prove it other than showing his dead body in public. There is a famous photo of this, that is also found in the biograpghy (show photo on slideshow) that shows how true and real Che Guevara actually was. The Bolivian forces invted American and the Soviets to come and have a look for themselves and they created a spectacle of Che. A spectacle like that these dys is unheard of, but at the same time it did evoke the beginning of the image of him as a martyr.

People who should
wear overalls:

Farmers (Do they wear anything else?)
Anyone who is dressing up for Halloween as a farmer or that Green Acres guy (Quick, easy and clearly meant as a costume unless you live in the farm belt.)
Pregnant women (I don't know why, but overalls look cute on pregnant—not fat—women. Of course, I'd think overalls would be a pain in the ass to take off if you were eight months pregnant and needed to pee.)
