"The job of the militant Negroes and their white allies is to break with the capitalist parties, not to infiltrate those parties in the illusion they can be reformed," the Militant emphasized in another article on the 1954 fight to get Harry Hazelwood, an independent Black candidate, elected as councilman-at-large in Newark, New Jersey. The Stalinist Communist Party, fearing the prospect of Blacks deciding "to go it alone," had urged an alliance with the Democratic Party. A break by Blacks with the capitalist parties would, in fact, "have thoroughly progressive consequences" for all working people," the article added.
Farrell Dobbs explains in a 1959 discussion that independent political action is not the same as supporting any candidate who runs outside one of the two capitalist parties. The Los Angeles branch of the party had decided to offer critical support to Edward Atkinson, a Black candidate in the non-partisan election for city council. Dobbs, writing for the SWP Political Committee, noted that Atkinson was associated with internal factional squabbles within a wing of the Democratic Party."
We must be careful, Dobbs said, "about rushing to characterize as independent a campaign where there is evidence it may in fact represent an attempt to play a greater role within a capitalist party.... Our aim is to lead the fight for independent political action. For us two criteria are paramount: the nature of a given movement; and the direction in which it is going."
Nearly 20 years later, SWP National Secretary Jack Barnes made a similar point in reference Charles Evers, who ran for U.S. Senate in Mississippi against the Democratic and Republican candidates. Evers's campaign, Barnes explains in the final selection in Independent Black Political Action, "reveals the decisiveness of program on the electoral front. Independence is a programmatic question.... As the pressure mounts to break out of the framework of capitalist politics, the rulers are going to make more and more of an effort to come up with safety valves that keep the exploited and oppressed stuck in lesser-evilism."
From Freedom Now to NBIPP
At a convention in Philadelphia in November 1980, some 1,500 delegates launched the National Black Independent Political Party (NBIPP). The new party, which existed for more than half a decade, built on experiences of almost twenty years to forge an independent Black political party. These earlier efforts are documented in Independent Black Political Action. They represented an important step forward in the fight for independent Black and working-class political action.
A call for the Freedom Now Party was first made in August 1963 to the quarter million participants in the national civil rights March on Washington. While many people supported the call, it was only in Michigan that the new party mounted a serious electoral effort, running a slate of 39 candidates in the 1964 elections. Two years later, in 1966, Blacks in Lowndes County, Alabama, who had been working on voter registration and protesting inadequate educational facilities, organized the Lowndes Country Freedom Organization (LCFO). Independent Black Political Action includes a speech given by LCFO chairman John Hullet at an anti-Vietnam war rally in Los Angeles, as well as two on-the-scene reports by two leaders of the Young Socialist Alliance.
The same year as the LCFO was formed in Alabama, activists in Oakland, California organized the Black Panther Party for Self Defense. The Black Panther Party platform and program, and article on their 1968 campaign for the Washington state legislature, and analysis of the party's retreat from a strategy of mass political action are included in Independent Black Political Action.
The NBIPP broke sharply with the Democratic and Republican parties. Noting that "both major parties have betrayed us because their interests essentially conflict with ours," its charter explained that the decision to form the party "was not just a decision to found a new organization, but to unleash an organized political movement for Black self-determination in the United States, and to affirm, once again in our lifetime, the reality that we ourselves must make the critical contribution to our own liberation."
"The National Black Independent Political Party aims to attain power to radically transform the present socio-economic order," the charter, reprinted in The National Black Independent Political Party said. "That is, to achieve self determination and social and political freedom for the masses of Black people. Therefore, our party will actively oppose racism, imperialism, sexual oppression, and capitalist exploitation."
The NBIPP, as an article reprinted from the Militant notes, remains an example, not only in the fight for Black rights, but for the entire labor movement. "The NBIPP charter points in a different direction from all [the] misleaders-away from reliance on the Democrats and Republicans, and toward the mass of the Black people; away from the bankers demanding handouts for the rich, and toward the poor of all races; away from the Pentagon's military drive, and toward the liberation struggles of the oppressed of the world."
It is the direction that the entire working class must travel in order to take political power out of the hands of the ruling rich.

How Much is a Bat Exclusion?
Bats can be a big menace to any household, both physically and emotionally. These creatures normally inhabit dark and warm places in the house. You are likely to find them in the basement, walls, soffits and the attic of your house. These low flying creatures can inhabit your home if there are any entry points to let them in. If you have been having problems getting rid of these creatures here are some tips to help you remove them from your house completely.
Bat Proofing Services
There are many companies that offer bat proofing services to home owners. These companies not only remove the offending animals from your house, they also offer bat exclusion services. These services enable you to have a home that will repel these unwanted creatures, instead of attracting them. Although the companies that offer these services are countless, not all of them offer the quality of services that you would want. The best bat removal services come normally with a guarantee. Unless the company promises 100% removal of these creatures from your house, there is absolutely no need for you to pay for the services. The services should include an inspection of your house. The inspection will enable the service provider to identify areas of use by the bats and potential areas they could re-enter. Thus in turn the wildlife control professional will provide a course of action to resolve the problem for you and your home.
Bat Guano Removal
They can cause untold health dangers to the inhabitants and possibly insulation damage to the attic and walls where they roost due to large quantities of buildup. The excrement of these creatures may hold considerable health dangers such as histoplasmosis to everyone in the house. You can employ the services of bat guano removal companies to help you get rid of this guano and soiled insulation from your house. You can also clean the guano yourself if you have the right cleaning materials and personal protective equipment to protect yourself from the health dangers involved with handling bat guano.

If you find a bat in the house, you are definitely full of questions. You are probably also feeling some anxiety and perhaps a little bit of fear. These are all normal reactions to discovering a wild bat in your home, especially because of all the misconceptions about the dangers of bats. To help you during this stressful situation, continue reading to review some common questions people ask when they find a bat in their home. This will give you some light on which steps you need to take next. The most important part of dealing with a bat in the house is remaining calm. You'll learn why soon enough.
Should I Trap the Bat?
No! The biggest mistake you can make is assuming you can capture and trap a bat, and out them outside yourself. First, bats are known carriers of several infectious diseases. Although they are not likely to attack, if they are scared, any type of provocation can cause them to react adversely. Furthermore, attempting to catch a bat puts the bat's safety at risk. Bats are not pest even though they can be quite the nuisance. They are actually very important parts of our surrounding eco-system, which is why they are protected by law in most states. You should never try to trap, harm, or kill a bat under any circumstances.
What Do I Do If I Find a Bat in the House?
Remain calm and do not try to capture the bat. The first thing you need to do is isolate them. If they are in the kitchen, close all other doors to the house so they cannot enter other rooms and areas. If they are in a bedroom, close the door but leave the window open. They are likely to fly right out. Once you have them isolated, you can begin opening all the windows in area where the bat is hanging. Again, they are likely to fly out at some point. If they do not, your next step is to contact an emergency bat removal company for safe and humane extraction services. These are generally available on a 24 hour basis.

Mr. Bond is back
Ian Fleming's estate made a superb choice when it turned to thriller writer Jeffery Deaver for this summer's James Bond reboot Carte Blanche. In his latest incarnation, the venerable British spy is a 21st century 007, battling baddies ranging from agribusiness and big pharma to NGO nasties. At the heart of the plot is a mysterious, green-friendly trash and recycling baron with a disquieting interest in human decay. Familiar Fleming touches abound, from M and Moneypenny to exotic locales. Then, too, Deaver adds a knowing wink with his femmes fatales and otherwise, including the superbly named Ophelia Maidenstone and Felicity Willing. A spry spy bash not to be missed.
Magical duo
At a Nashville, Tenn., workshop two struggling songwriters are sent to a room to write a hit. John Paul White of Alabama and Joy Williams of California meet that day and oh, how the sparks fly. From the very first notes, their voices blend like brother and sister, with soaring, aching harmonies not heard since the Everly Brothers. Under the moniker The Civil Wars, they record a stunning debut album Barton Hollow. "Grey's Anatomy" features their song "Poison and Wine," and the video becomes a YouTube sensation. It's time to catch up with the magical duo everybody's buzzing about.
A celebration of Liszt
Newcomer Georgian pianist Khatia Buniatishvili marks her debut with a two-disc CD/DVD set devoted to celebrating the 200th anniversary of Franz Liszt's birth. Titled Franz Liszt, highlights include Liebestraum, Mephisto Waltz No. 1, and La Lugubre Gondola, plus a short concert film.
Personal faith and public action
Bill Moyers: God & Politics is a three-part DVD series featuring the landmark television program hosted by Mr. Moyers, which aired on American TV in the late 1980s. The show examines the interaction between church and state, focusing on the hot spots of that decade, primarily in Central America. While the headlines are dated, the issues of the role of faith and government are not.
Songs of protest
Kenneth Bowser's new documentary Phil Ochs: There But For Fortune, out on DVD July 19, examines the life of elusive and shortlived 1960s folk artist Phil Ochs. Convinced he would be a folk icon and competing with the likes of Bob Dylan in the political protest song niche, Ochs makes for a fascinating study in 1960s counterculture. Pick up this DVD for what Monitor reviewer Peter Rainer calls "a complex portrait of an ultimately unknowable man."

President Duterte in Boracay to attend Cayetano Wedding
President Duterte took time to go to a wedding of Senator Alan Peter Cayetano's sibling in Boracay.
The President was seen posturing with the love birds Ren and Mary Cayetano and different individuals from the Cayetano family amid the rich shoreline service a weekend ago. Photographs of the wedding have been posted on social networking sites by the Cayetano siblings and their close friends.

Presidential campaigns have a tendency to bring out America's nostalgic side. Candidates on both sides evoke some glorious past—whether a real era, or only the ideals represented by it—and hint that recapturing such glories can only be achieved by enacting their specific policies. Donald Trump's "Make America great again" slogan, for instance, represents an especially fevered and noxious version of this appeal, but he is tapping into that stream of nostalgia common to all politicians.
It's a message that sells, even among those who should know better, so it's good to have reminders that all American eras past have contained a mixture of good and bad—that no golden age has existed. This need makes the political satire of Tom Lehrer more welcome than ever, 50 years after he wrote his songs. Lehrer is not often considered as a political satirist, since his songs eschew parodies of specific events. In the end, though, that's what has given them a lasting power well beyond the tunes of other would-be political satirists like the Capitol Steps and Mark Russell. Just like his melodies, which forego aping specific songs in favor of lampooning entire genres, Lehrer's lyrics tackle the deep seated American political urge toward nostalgia.

Lending Club delivered quarterly earnings that met analysts' expectations on Tuesday, but the stock fell double-digits as investors digested a cautious outlook.
The largest U.S. provider of peer-to-peer loans tanked Wednesday morning after it posted fourth quarter adjusted earnings of 1 cent per share and revenues of $68 million. Wall Street had expected Lending Club to deliver quarterly earnings per share of 1 cent on $67 million in revenue, according to consensus estimates from Thomson Reuters.
The Lending Club's stock dipped more than 12 percent in after-hours trading, and sank more than 14 percent once the market resumed on Wednesday. The extended trading move confused even the company's head.

From Politico:
The national Black Lives Matter network is pushing back against a local Ohio group that aligns itself with the movement yet has endorsed Republican Rob Portman in his competitive reelection bid in Ohio.
Black Lives Matter of Cuyahoga County announced Friday that it was formally backing Portman in his Senate race. But the Cuyahoga group is "not an official chapter of our BLM network," Patrisse Cullors, a co-founder of the national Black Lives Matter network, said Friday. A spokesperson added that Black Lives Matter Cleveland is the only official chapter in Ohio, and that it had not endorsed Portman.
Story Continued Below
"This report is incorrect. Black Lives Matter Cleveland is the group's local organization in the area," added David Bergstein, the campaign spokesman for Ted Strickland, Portman's Democratic challenger. "Ted has a strong record of fighting for Ohio's African-American communities and working families, and will continue to do so in the Senate."
In its endorsement statement, Black Lives Matter of Cuyahoga County, led by Jeff Mixon, criticized Strickland's management of the state's finances when he was Ohio governor. Mixon sits on the county Democratic Party's executive committee, and his group endorsed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton back in February. He did not immediately return a request seeking comment about the status of his organization with the national Black Lives Matter movement.
"In the current atmosphere of identity politics, BLMCC understands that endorsing even a well-qualified Republican such as Portman seems controversial; despite the fact that it was minorities who suffered the brunt of Ted Strickland's gross financial mismanagement," Mixon said in the Friday statement.
The Cuyahoga group also praised Portman and how he shepherded a significant anti-opioid measure into law this month. Portman has also been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police, a …

Boron is a mineral. Because a biochemical function has not been established for boron, no nutritional guidelines have been set. However boron has beneficial, if not essential effects, according to the USDA.
Boron plays a role in cell-membrane functions that influence hormones as well as the transport of calcium. Studies show that boron has a beneficial role in energy and metabolism, it enhances the response to estrogen therapy, improves motor skills and cognitive processes including attention and memory.

Here are some tips for evaluating your cloud storage options.
Amazon Web Services, Google, and Azure dominate the cloud service provider space, but for some applications it may make sense to choose a smaller provider specializing in your app class and able to deliver a finer-tuned solution. No matter which cloud provider you choose, it pays to look closely at the wide variety of cloud storage services they offer to make sure they will meet your company's requirements.
There are two major classes of storage with the big cloud providers, which offer local instance storage with selected instances, as well as a selection of network storage options for permanent storage and sharing between instances.
As with any storage, performance is a factor in your decision-making process. There are many shared network storage alternatives, including storage tiers from really hot to freezing cold and within the top tiers, differences depending on choice of replica count, and variations in prices for copying data to other spaces.
The very hot tier is moving to SSD and even here there are differences between NVMe and SATA SSDs, which cloud tenants typically see as IOPS levels. For large instances and GPU-based instances, the faster choice is probably better, though this depends on your use case.
At the other extreme, the cold and "freezing" storage, the choices are disk or tape, which impacts data retrieval times. With tape, that can take as much as two hours, compared with just seconds for disk.
Data security and vendor reliability are two other key considerations when choosing a cloud provider that will store your enterprise data. Continue on to get tips for your selection process.

Local instance storage
Pricing for local instance storage is a key issue, complicated by a smorgasbord of instance types, sizes and prices. There is a price war going on, which intensifies or wanes depending on cloud providers' infrastructure cost/performance as well as demand. What doesn't hit the headlines much are the big differences in cloud provider offerings. Local instance storage, bundled with the compute instances, can vary in latency or performance measured in IOPS or MBPS, and usually has a metered limit on performance as well.
Similarly priced instances may deliver considerably different results depending on the cloud provider. The variation can be considerable, perhaps as much as 4:1, so using price as the sole selection arbiter isn't effective. Most instance storage is heading towards SSD rather than HDD, so performance will range from decent to very good for most use cases.
Overall, you may be handling, and paying for, more instances than are optimal. Figuring out the best choice will usually involve some modelling and sandboxing.

Storage ecosystem
The next area to look at is the storage ecosystem. Cloud providers don't operate "virtual iron" anymore. Rather, they offer many storage services, including database structures and tools for big data, as well as the common block, file and object storage. These services may create an environment for a sandbox test. Note that providers don't always offer all these services on their cloud; they may offer them through third parties.
Diving deeper, each cloud provider has a set of basic management tools for the likes of scripting, image management, and security and, most importantly, setting up virtual networks and storage. Since these will be a major part of each admin's universe once a choice is made, get the admins to sandbox those tools and rate them for ease of use and completeness.

Hybrid cloud interface
Part of this toolkit should handle the interface to your private cloud, if you are among the majority of users planning hybrid cloud solutions. Here's where some specialist cloud storage providers shine, since they focus on delivering low latency in both the private and public segments of your cloud, something that is difficult to achieve by just directly linking cloud storage to in-house storage. These smaller cloud service providers may actually use one of the big three as their storage site, which is OK since there is added value with caching as well as compression and deduplication tools that save a lot of raw space and cost.

The cost of compute
This may seem out of place in an article focused on cloud storage, but the wrong storage choices could really push up the instance count or force larger DRAM or Vcore components. My recommendation is to conduct a test of your actual apps on each shortlisted provider, using instances and storage that seem most relevant and rightsized for your apps, compare the results, then calculate three measurements:
- The run time of the test multiplied by the cost of the instances used
- The cost to store your data and then to access, use or transfer it
- The average latency to get your data with the chosen storage options
In each case, lowest is best. There are other things to take into account, including lifetime data management though different tiers of cloud provider storage, but the three metrics above should get you to a shortlist of two or three suppliers. If you have one, build these results into your TCO calculation.

Storage performance
Cloud storage options also vary in performance, latency and cost of data transfer. Cloud providers typically have three or more storage tiers ranging from fast local instance storage using HDDs or, increasingly, SSDs, to "ice-cold" archival storage using tape or disk. Performance of tape-based AWS Glacier to Google disk-based Coldline storage compares to tape versus disk, with time to access data is two hours for AWS versus 10 seconds for Google. Price is not everything!
Vendors differ when it comes to storage performance and latency. This reflects underlying architectures and things like caching, flash storage, and software. These all interact in a complex way, but the net is that any given app will see differences depending on the provider. Consequently, you should measure storage performance in the sandbox tests, too.

A big selling point with public clouds is that you can build a very resilient solution inexpensively, using multi-zone operations and storage. Even so, there have been some notable outages, but post-mortems generally point to admin errors at the cloud provider and typically recovery is swift when customers use multi-zone storage.
Multi-zone operation adds some cost, which varies depending on the instance and storage types chosen. It adds some complexity to TCO calculations, but it is absolutely a necessary part of your setup.
(Image: Timofeev Vladimir/Shutterstock)
If you don't encrypt your data, now is the time to start! Cloud providers are beginning to provide encryption options for data at rest, though they may only offer a version that's with provider-owned keys that's non-compliant with regulations such as HIPAA, and SOX. A few have evolved to a compliant storage model supporting user-owned keys.
(Image: Blackboard/Shutterstock)
Staying power
Cloud providers don't publish roadmaps for their businesses. Even so, some consistently stand out for innovation and so can be expected to keep moving ahead of the pack over time. The impact is, eventually, lower prices, faster instances and more service features. The leaders will also embrace technologies such as Docker and software-defined infrastructure before most of the industry, using them to further drive down costs.
This is something to take into account in your TCO calculation. Today's prices could drop within 30 days!

Im not a football fan. Ive never watched peter crouch play before, but im watching it now, and i cant help but laugh.
Im sure hes a great footballer or whatever, but he just looks so uncomfortable that its funny.
He's not great.
He's not even good. He's only there because he plays for one of the big 4 clubs, like Emile Heskey before him.
he just scored

My Nonprofit Reviews
Neal W.
Review for Greater Wheeling Coalition for the Homeless Inc, Wheeling, WV, USA
I have served on the board of the Greater Wheeling Coalition for the Homeless for many years. I have rarely seen an organization so focused and passionate about its mission. It's not a "hand-out" type of organization (not that there's anything wrong with that). It's truly a hand-up organization. It works with its clients to not only help them, but teach them how to help themselves - how to become independent, productive and confident. It moves them from homelessness to self-support, from those who have hit rock-bottom to those who are rock-climbers - slowly and deliberately improving their position in life - with a goal, direction and the strength to get there. The accomplishment of this mission has been a humbling feat for me to watch over the years. I can't begin to explain in words the strength of character the staff of the Coalition possess. They have so much more than just caring hearts. Working with the homeless every day is an extremely challenging and stressful career choice - because they aren't just doing a job. People's lives actually depend on the staff and how dedicated and sincere they are about their "job". It's real, it's serious, it can be heartbreaking at times, and at other times it can be the most rewarding experience imaginable. It's worth becoming involved in. The community can help. Contact the Coalition for more information on how you can help the homeless through your contribution of either time, money or goods. The Coalition is making a difference in people's lives, and with your help they can make that difference faster and better.

Remember that big press event Square held where at the end, the big countdown clock rolled through numbers and FF-related symbols like a slot machine, until finally resting on November 30, 2016 before comically "correcting" itself to September 30? It was still broken, just the second time.
Final Fantasy XV has been pushed past Thanksgiving and will now be released November 29. Rumors of this delay were flying around all weekend with no solid confirmation, but we've got it now. Director Hajime Tabata offered an apology this morning, both in text form and in person.
"From the moment we joined this project, our vision was to create a level of freedom and realism previously unseen in the series. Regrettably, we need a little bit more time to deliver on this vision and are confident that this new release date will help us achieve this. As the director and lead of this project, I wish to personally apologize for the additional wait. As a team, we want Final Fantasy XV to achieve a level of perfection that our fans deserve. We kindly ask for your understanding."
As for what to do with all that extra time: Take some deep breaths, sip some tea, watch some Darkwing Duck DVDs. Do whatever it takes to relax. We've been waiting ten whole years, what's two more months?

Tight Hamstrings on The 30 day Paleo Detox Challenge – Day 6
Aha! So now that I've done a bit of research I know that tight muscles are very much a part of detoxing. I'm not sure why I never encountered this before, perhaps because I've been much more active when I've done fasts and juice detoxes before? Who knows, but I've certainly not experienced this much muscle pain before – must be letting go of some good stuff (or bad stuff?)
Share this…
<< Back to day 5 | Paleo Detox Challenge | Forward to day 7 >>
Tight hamstrings and lower back pain
Of particular interest to me right now is that tight hamstrings and lower back pain are often connected – and how! I discovered in the early hours of the morning, up and walking around as I couldn't sleep through the back pain, that I could no longer touch my toes. Even getting my hands as far as my knees was painful.
I'm not especially known for my bendyness, by some peoples standards I probably always have tight hamstrings, but I'm not usually that inflexible!
A quick bit of Google research suggests that tight hamstrings and lower back pain issues are frequently cause and effect, and a bit of experimental stretching is already giving me some relief.
So, lots of bending and stretching exercises right now, and plans for a nice hot bath, in the hope of securing a good night's sleep.
Tight hamstrings and lower back pain are not fun – I went to see if there was company in my misery…
Aches and pains when detoxing
And I have to say it's good to know that what I'm experiencing is well documented; there's a great article over at Farmer K's Kitchen on detox symptoms, especially muscle pain, with tight hamstrings and lower back pain getting plenty of anecdotal evidence in the comments sections too. I'm not alone in my pain!
There's another useful piece about Fasting, Cleansing & Detoxification Reactions at Detox.net.au, which goes into more detail on the medical/scientific reasons for all manner of lovely things that you may experience when your body is detoxing. Not all pleasant, but very reassuring to know!
And that reassurance is key, I think, in having a happy detox journey. I can put up with, embrace and enjoy even, all sorts of unpleasant and even painful symptoms when I know the reason for them and that I'm heading in the right direction.
It's when I get strange and unexplained aches and pains that I start to worry – if I can't work out why it's hurting then maybe there's something terribly wrong! And that's really not a good thing to be focusing on (and therefore creating).
Other symptoms…
Not too much more to report really. I still feel as though I'm working through a brain fog. A bit of a headache, not so much ache as heaviness and fuzziness I suppose, and an inability to concentrate on anything for long – I really don't seem to be getting much done!
… and cravings
Food: Well I'm still craving cheese, and will probably keep going on about this for some time! Nothing else troubling me there.
Alcohol and cigarettes have no appeal for me right now – smoking is a quite unpleasant thought. Alcohol I believe I shall come back to, not least because there's a very nice bottle of single malt sitting on my desk right now (it was a Christmas present) – it's a nice idea, but my body says No!
What am I eating?
Smoothie – coconut milk, egg yolk, chia seeds
Didn't actually taste that good but plenty of fat and protein to keep me going for a few hours!
Scrambled eggs
Olives and tomatoes
Smoked Mackerel
And that's all right now

Facing a media throng just days before competing for a national championship, Notre Dame's star linebacker, Manti Te'o, fielded a question about the death of his girlfriend and his ability to rise above the tragedy.
It was a benign question, one he had heard dozens of times before as Lennay Kekua's passing had been woven so tightly into the narrative of his triumphant senior year. And he answered it as he always had.
But at that time Te'o — and university officials — knew there was far more to the story than platitudes about football and family.
PHOTOS: Sports scandals, present and past
A week earlier, on Dec. 26, the Heisman runner-up told Notre Dame officials that his girlfriend did not exist and that he was a victim of an elaborate Internet hoax, the school said Wednesday.

Tsunami, endless agony
I am writing this as December 26 brought in great grief to me about the loss of life of several thousands of innocent people and how I escaped from that vast devastation.
On December 26, 2004, I, being an ex employee of an institution, joined its employees to go to Galle to attend the funeral of the father of a colleague. As the bus that had been organised did not turn up, an A/C bus was hired from Pettah and we left Fort around 9.30 a.m. As we had to pick up two of our friends from Panadura, we stopped there and while one of the friends was getting in, an outsider with bags in hand tried to enter the bus.
Our conductor said that ours was a 'special bus'. But he begged saying that his house had been destroyed by the seawaters and that the fate of his family was not known. Nobody cared for his words and the bus started its journey. A few yards away we had to again stop the bus to pick another friend who was late and the same person rushed to our bus and stated the same story and this time very innocently pleaded to allowed in. His request was turned down again and the bus moved.
Having travelled a long distant, we saw some people gathered on a bridge and I said jokingly that someone had jumped into a river and committed suicide. Then we came across another bridge and there too people were watching something. I then said that since the boy had committed suicide the girl too had attempted to end her life in that river for which all laughed.
After we did some more distance, we saw some people running here and there and we thought that some people were still enjoying and celebrating Christmas.
When we were closer to Waskaduwa the bus radio was on and then we heard saying that Galle road was under sea water and therefore traffic was being diverted. And in a few minutes time it announced that about 30 navy personnel were downed in Galle. Only then we took the matter seriously and from the point of Waskaduwa we were not allowed to proceed.
Though a few amongst us wanted to proceed through Mathugama others discouraged us. In the meantime, or families had to tried in vain to contact us on our mobile phones and we too could not contact them.
The following day we understood the complete devastation that had taken place with a name called 'tsunami'. The cancellation of the bus had saved us from the tsunami and even now when we think of that person who frantically tried to board our bus we feel very, very sorry for we did not know at all what had been happening in the coastal area of the south. Still, the pathetic scenes of him flash before my eyes when the subject of tsunami is spoken.
Oh, you tsunami, the greatest enemy of the world!

The build it and they will come line might not work for everyone in todays economic world, but for the owners of the Irish Embassy Pub, its the gospel truth.
Opened in 2008 as a traditional Irish pub and meeting place, the popular bar and restaurant at the corner of Ninth Street and Main Avenue has evolved into a downtown hot spot for the college crowd. That left co-owners Jerry Hembury, Mike Graham and Phil Brennan with an enviable dilemma.
We wanted to keep what weve got going and look out for the younger crowd without pushing anyone out, Brennan said.
The solution, known as the Underground, was one that would please the grow or die crowd. The owners simply annexed an adjacent space next door (it was last occupied by the Speedy Needle) and opened a new nightclub and music venue to handle the overflow. Now, the kids have a place to party on weekends the capacity is about 160 and the Embassys downstairs Ambassador Lounge, with its comfortable couches and big-screen TVs, again is a safe haven for a more subdued clientele.
A pubs about a place where people can come and have fun, and its open to every demographic, Brennan said.
We have a good relationship with the college and the coaches and people who run things up there, and we all want somewhere thats safe for the kids to be able to dance and have fun.
It may seem odd for an authentic Irish pub to name a venue after Londons subway system, but things have been warming lately between the Brits and their traditional island foes in recent years. So this is nice. And the decor of the Underground emphasizes the name: Patrons must walk through a brick-walled tunnel adorned with graffiti and Underground logos to access the new bar.
Brennan said for now the Underground will be open only on Friday and Saturday nights save for special events. It opened Snowdown weekend with shows by local musicians D.L. Marble and Robby Overfield. Last weekend, there was house music, and DJ Wreck will spin Saturday. When theres no DJ or live band playing, the Underground will play a piped-in mix of music.

Time flies
Here is my third card for the GDT spot for Kraftin' Kimmies. Only one card to go, whohoo.
I wasn't sure if I would be pleased with these time-crunched cards, but I know I work best under pressure and this was no exception. I just hope I didn't jinx myself now and the last one will be a total trainwreck :)
The challenge for this card was a sketch and I was so pleased that I managed to think outside of the box. These character stamps always come with a smaller stamp, but when I bloghop I seldom see them used. So I wanted to make this one justice especially since it worked so great with the theme and enhanced the gentleman.
I stamped Chester with a brownshaded ink on a piece of white paper and coloured him with promarkers to match the papers. I aligned him so that his cuff was in the middle of a circle and cut out using a nestie. I then stamped the watchstamp several times with the same ink and coloured the same way as the main stamp. I used two shades of distressink to make the background less white and handwrote the numbers. I distressed the edges of the circle and attached it to a bigger circle. I punched a hole in the middle (where his cuff was) and attached a brad with clockhands (a qk die).
I distressed the edges of the patterned papers, punched a decorative corner on the striped piece and attached a brad in every corner. Finally I handwrote the sentiment and attached it and the "clock" with foamtape.
I made this card for my sweetheart. He's going away on a businesstrip to the US for two weeks and I want to sneak it into his bag. Despite how much I'll miss him I know that time does fly (even if it's slow sometimes) and soon he will be with me again. I just hope he's not snooping around here from the workcomputer ;)
Challenges for this card:
Anything goes - distressing
Kraftin' Kimmies - sketch

Christian Wade has taken the world of rugby union by storm this season.
The 22-year-old has been bubbling under the surface for some time, making a major impact in the world of sevens before imposing himself on the 15-man game.
And, after less than two years at the top domestic level, he's already being talked about as the future superstar of English rugby.
Wade appears to have all the credentials, and emulated Gareth Bale's achievements in football by scooping the RPA Players' Player and Young Player Awards at a gala dinner last month.
"I am surprised and humbled as well. It is the greatest feeling to have the respect of your peers," he said on collecting the awards.
"And to be the first player to do it since Jonny Wilkinson in the year England won the World Cup is a real shock. I am very thankful."
Like the Welshman with the round ball, few could argue with Wade's success. Joint-top try scorer (with teammate Tom Varndell) in the Aviva Premiership with 13, the former Royal Grammar School student in High Wycombe isn't just a finisher.
Click LIKE to become a fan of Christian Wade:
His raw pace and athleticism makes him an obvious danger in attack, but his defensive work has improved in recent times. Indeed, Wade is a strong tackler who is willing to get dirty in the ruck.
He's also been tested with the highball on a regular basis this season as teams look for a weakness, but again the youngster has improved that area of his game.
Despite impressing for England with a hat-trick in a non-cap international against the Springbok Barbarians last summer, Wade was overlooked for the Six Nations that followed.
His form in the Aviva Premiership meant Stuart Lancaster couldn't say no again this time around, and the speedster has already signaled his intent with tries against the Barbarians at Twickenham back in May.
A first real test – and real cap – will now come against Argentina on Saturday night, with Wade starting at number 14 in the hostile atmosphere of Salta.
It's an opportunity the youngster has been waiting for, and he's desperate to make the shirt his own.
"When you are playing in an England shirt you have to make it your own," said Wade, according to The Independent.
"These opportunities don't come up that much and you have to be at your best to make it count."
There are plenty of uncapped players in the squad, and all will be looking to make an impact. The aim will be to force their way into Lancaster's squad for November's three-match run against Australia, the Pumas and New Zealand.
Given that Wade has passed all the tests in-front of him over the past 12-months, there is little to suggest that he can't make the grade at the highest level – on the international stage.
And, with BBC purchasing the rights to show the two-match test series, the wider general public may get their first glimpse of the game's hottest property.

The only race that might prove interesting the United States Senate race, but even that race indicates that Republicans have come together to ensure a Rounds win. The real question is the voter margins with the following numbers
In the gubernatorial race, I'll set the number at 67.5% for Daugaard.
In the disaster that is the U.S. House race, the number is 73.5%.
The most interesting race is the the United States Senate Race. I think Rounds will win. The number for the over/under bet is 45.9%. I know Bob Mercer has opined that Rounds will get 50%. As noted earlier, he Republicans are coming home to back the boy wearing an R on his jersey, but I don't think it's going to be enough to put Rounds over 50%.
The Secretary of State race should have been close; it won't be. The number here should mirror the U.S. House race. 73.5%.
The Democrats didn't nominate anyone for attorney general. Chad Haber is, well, he's Chad Haber, the husband of Annette Bosworth. I don't believe anyone will get over 90% in a general election but Jackley could come close. I'll set the number at 87.8%.
The rest of the constitutional offices share a 69.5% number.

About the only time Apple updates iPhone sales numbers is during their quarterly conference calls. Last time Steve Jobs himself showed up to crow about the iPhone hitting 10 million ahead of schedule and outselling the BlackBerry. This time? We don't count on it, but with Steve Jobs, we can never count anything out either.
TUAW says Apple will have this last quarter's call on Wednesday, January 21 (streaming audio link). TiPb, as per usual, will provide coverage of the event, with focus on the iPhone news.
Mark your calendars, and then jump into the comments and let us know how many iPhones you think have been sold by now, 12 million? What about App Store downloads? Half a billion yet? (Our bet is TiPb commenters get far closer than the analysts who should be popping up any minute now...)

Church Street Library has a lovely new artwork! Artist Christian Nyampeta and local gallery The Showroom worked with different groups of Church Street people to create the design which has been printed onto wallpaper and installed on the library's big back wall which spans two storeys (from the Community Space in the basement, right up to the Children's Library).
Local children, schools, library users and lots of different community groups took part in art workshops with the artist to share their ideas about what should be included in the design and we are really delighted that it was jointly created in this way and reflects their views of Church Street.
The wall has ended up being a demonstration of how libraries can be places not only for reading, learning and access to information but also spaces for culture, discussion and creativity. It's something you can enjoy visiting many times and find new things in it each time you look at it.
The finished wall was celebrated on Wednesday at the Church Street networking lunch with music from King Solomon Academy and St Edwards' Primary School and speeches from Cllr Steve Summers and Christian Nyampeta.

This is 're-creation' of the dice roll Otty quickly whipped off the table in excitement. It surely looks like the Warhound was wounded badly but is still in later pics so I guess she didn't die, just yet!
The Hormagaunts are routing all the way back now with little hope of me regrouping. Otty's mishapped Devgaunts are nearly out of the deployment zone - sodding Synapse and run moves. My Tervigon is starting the dash across the frozen wastes...
Only to get splatted, probably by the Shadowsword given how smug it looks immediately opposite.
The Vulture culls even more of the fleeing Hormagaunts.
And with targets running out everywhere why not drop an Apocalypse blasts on those devgaunts who've done nothing all game? Yep, thats around 8 dead.
I think this is now our Turn 5 as Nancy takes another crack at the Warhound.
And she finally bites the dust getting us a VP!
The remaining Hormagaunts head for the hills and I move what's left of the Devgaunts forward.
Meanwhile my Tervigon is still holding the Chapel, with her 5 spawnedTermagants waiting in cover to steal the objective should she fall.
The Warriors finally make it to the objective but there's a busload of Ogryns the other side of that wall and I just don't think the Prime and a Warrior with only one wound is going to survive their ripper guns let alone an assault.
Nancy slams into the Shadowsword and I think she ultimately smashes it to pieces like tin foil!
The vanilla Tervigon gets prioritzed for termination by whatever Imperial weaponry is available.
And ultimately her fate is sealed...
and the Chapel is sullied no more by the stink of Xenos filth
The Ogryns dutifully wipe out the Warriors and Prime, although I think the Prime might have offed Commissar Yarrick in a challenge as he doesn't seem to be with his crew.
The Stormlord swivels to bring down Nancy
But somehow she smashes that to pieces gaining us our 3rd VP
With only Otty's Devgaunts for me to move there was one last hope for redemption when an over eager Vendetta pilot closed in for the kill on the already fleeing Hormagaunts, thus allowing the Devgaunts to reposition for a rear-armour shot. Here's my first 11/21 snap fire shots. Sadly I only got one more 6 to hit and needed three 6s to glance it out of the sky. Sadly the bitter irony did not go my way and I could only manage 1 glance and the flyer escaped.
The Termagants managed to pass their Instinctive behaviour and capture the Chapel once more.
Only to have it snatched away by the contesting Vulture, he probably shot them all too, to capture it back for the Imperium
And that was the end of the game, with I think the final score being something like 19 to 3. So it was an absolute whitewash, although in that last turn Nancy was an absolute beast ripping through the three Super Heavies like they were never going to be a problem. This was a fun game though, it was more like a big 40k game for me as I didn't have any Apocalypse beasts under my control but pretty much everything I wanted to do with my deep strikes delivered. I think I should have committed the CC Tervigon sooner, it did nothing all game and neither did the Swarmlord. But we were terrified he was going to be killed first turn.
The BIG problem with Apocalypse is the scale of it, with so much to move and the amount of time it's such a shame that you have an hour+ of killing where you just totally hammer your opponents only to then be on the receiving end yourself for an hour+ too. It can be too much of a up, down, up, down scenario. Also you really need the Apocalypse creatures/tanks to stand a chance. I'm not sure what my 4000pts could have done to those Super Heavies, maybe they should have been a priority instead of the Manticores but I think Smash attacks would have been needed by MCs and I'm not sure any got chance to do that with easier targets in the way anyway. Then again Otty was stuffed by a drop pod capturing an objective and he didn't have anything nearby strong enough to even glance the thing let alone penetrate it.
And once you start getting the extra VPs for controlling objectives in turn 4 there was just no coming back for us. Luckily 3 of the VPs spent by Ben and Liam were pretty ineffective otherwise we'd be looking at an even worse score line.
We'll definitely do this again, although we may have to tinker again with the rules to see how the playing field can be levelled. Clearly letting us go first helped a bit but then again Nancy was brutal when she finally got her a$$ in gear. A great game all round.
Lastly here's a shot of Liam's scratchbuilt Contemptor Dreadnought, not bad for a Bucks Fizz plastic cork, plastic lids, caps and other bitz!
His awesome Forgeworld Dread.
And the four of us, Otty, me, Liam and Ben...
...yes I was dead by the end of the day!

Thailand on track to reach visitor target
Thailand is on track to reach its forecast of 32.4 million visitors this year, the country's tourism and sports minister said on Friday.
The 32.4 million target was set on 4 October 2016 after a slight cut from 33 million earlier. That reflected a fall in Chinese tourist numbers, after a Thai crackdown on cheap tour packages, Reuters reported.
The Thai government announced a year-long period of mourning to mark the death of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the world's longst-reigning monarch, who died on 13 October 2016 at the age of 88 after 70 years on the throne.
Restrictions on festive celebrations and entertainment venues will be lifted on 14 November 2016, when the first 30 days of the mourning period for King Bhumibol Adulyadej will have passed.
Bangkok's Grand Palace has reopened to tourists, and Thailand's Government has moved to reassure visitors with plans to visit Thailand that all events and festivals will proceed as planned. The government announcement also lets locals know that, while the mourning period is being respected, other areas of life will be returning to normal to avoid disruption and to enable people to make a living.
All entertainment venues, parties, festivals and radio and television broadcasts will resume on 14 November 2016, the Tourism Authority of Thailand has confirmed. See: Thai festive and entertainment activities set to resume.
Telling media on Friday that Thailand was on track to meet its tourism target, Tourism and Sports Minister Kobkarn Wattanavrangkul said that visitor arrivals rose 1.8% in October, or about 1.9 million, from a year earlier.
Tourism-related income rose by 15%, Phuket News reported.
In the third quarter Chinese arrivals reached 2.4 million, up 14%. Tourists from Europe numbered 1.2 million, rising 12%, and arrivals from Southeast Asian nations totalled 2.2 million, growing 15%.

Let's Talk Books, Shall We???
So here are (just a few of) the books I'm most looking forward to in the next few months:
GRAVEMINDER by Melissa Marr, May 17th (HarperCollins): Marr's adult debut is a gothic horror that gives Stephen King (and we all know how much I loooooove Stephen King!) a run for his money. Its multi-layered, multi-dimensional story revolves around a small town bound by an age-old curse. I could NOT put this one down! And it's written by Melissa Marr…need I say more???
A NEED SO BEAUTIFUL by Suzanne Young, June 21st (Balzer & Bray): A totally different twist on angel lore, Charlotte is one of the Forgotten, a kind of angel on earth. This uber-fast-paced thrill ride had me flipping the pages (or rather, scrolling down, since I read it on my computer) faster than I could keep up. Young's writing—and Charlotte's story—completely sucked me in. I'm still thinking about this one.
LIAR SOCIETY by Lisa and Laura Roecker, March 1st (Sourcebooks): These ladies can write! This was another page-turner. It has a private school with secret societies, a ginger-haired, conspiracy theorist neighbor, and a dead best friend sending emails from the grave! LOVELOVELOVED IT!
DESIRES OF THE DEAD by...well...me, February 15th (HarperCollins): Sorry…I just had to…
ANGELFIRE by Courtney Allison Moulton, February 15th (Katherine Tegan Books): This is next on my reading list. Tough girl, hot boys, sword fights, and demons…what more could I ask for???
THE DARK AND HOLLOW PLACES by Carrie Ryan, March 22nd (Delacorte): Because it's the third book in The Forest of Hands and Teeth trilogy. And it's Carrie Ryan. Doesn't that say it all?
DIVERGENT by Veronica Roth, May 3rd (Katherine Tegan Books): I'm actually still waiting to get my copy back from a friend, but I've heard nothing but amazing things about this book. Apparently it's dark and gritty and action-packed…just the way I like 'em. Plus, Veronica's totally adorable in real life. I can't wait to read it!
BLOOD RED ROAD by Moira Young, June 7th (Simon & Schuster/Margaret K McElderry): Okay, so I don't technically HAVE this one yet, but I've heard it's on its way. (I really hope it's on its way!!!!)
THE VESPERTINE by Saundra Mitchell, March 7th (Harcourt): Okay, maybe I'm a bit biased because I LOVED Mitchell's debut, Shadowed Summer, and I can't imagine she'll let me down with this tale of grifters, prophecies, and forbidden romance. Plus, look at that GORGEOUS cover!!! *want*
THE DAY BEFORE by Lisa Schroeder, June 28th (Simon Pulse): Another of my fave authors and another HAWT cover! If you haven't read Lisa's books, you should totally remedy that. Now!
CRYER'S CROSS by Lisa McMann, February 8th (Simon Pulse): I mean, you know she wrote WAKE, right? A small town with deep, dark secrets, a missing girl, ghosts (!), and an OCD protag! How could you NOT want to read Cryer's Cross???
POSSESSION by Elana Johnson, June 7th (Simon & Schuster): Another dystopic thriller that I've heard good early buzz about! Plus, do I have to say it…I adore that cover!!!
Can I just say that 2011 is going to be a kick-ass reading year??? And just so you know, there are about a gazillion other books that I'm looking forward to, these are just the ones my coffee-deprived mind could come up with this morning.
So, what upcoming books would you recommend? And what books are you most looking forward to?
Oh...and P.S. (Because it might not be freaking you out, but it is me…) Check out that countdown clock! Are you kidding me??? Only 21 days until Desires of the Dead hits stores**.
21 DAYS, people!!!
**Also, the paperback version of THE BODY FINDER, in case you've been waiting...

The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk
The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk
Oct 2, 2009, 2:53 PM
by Kevin Fodor
[ updated
Oct 2, 2009, 6:29 PM
I was sent a link to
The Great Internet Migratory Box Of Electronics Junk
a few weeks ago and thought this was a fantastic idea. So I finally decided to go down in my basement and start cleaning out my junk. The experience was quite liberating as finally "doing something" with this stuff, even if it is just to "give it away" is very satisfying. Plus I finally got a lot of my other stuff organized as well.
Anyway I have put my first box together, which is a decent size. Its box code name is
A Basement in Chicago
and I have now found a recipient.
I am always interested in receiving a box as well so if you have one to send I would love to receive it. Just send me an email(
) and I can provide you with my mailing address.
I'll post some pictures of what I get. Once my own box gets some "travel time" I'll post some information on it's original contents so we can see how it changed over time.
This should be fun!

Look out Spidey, some unknown misfits are about to lock up the box office.
Comic book superfans are driving receipts at the box office again this weekend, pushing sales of "Guardians of the Galaxy" to record highs — much to the relief of desperate theater owners.
The Marvel movie is on track to take in $90 million at the box office this weekend — and that could help Disney, which owns Marvel, jump over Sony into third place for 2014 studio ticket sales, according to boxofficemojo.com.
Disney's BuenaVista has pulled in $861.8 million this year compared to Sony's $909 million, according to the Web site.
In its midnight Thursday release, "Guardians" pulled in a surprising $11.2 million — sending Tinseltown and Wall Street analysts back to the books to revise projections north.
"We expect the movie to earn $200 million at the domestic box office," noted Wells Fargo's entertainment analyst, Marci Ryvicker.
The movie is capturing 93 percent of all ticket sales this weekend, according to Dave Karger, Fandango's chief correspondent.
If projections hold true, "Guardians" would topple the current August opening weekend box-office champ — 2007's "The Bourne Ultimatum," which grossed $69.3 million.
Disney is wasting no time in exploiting the franchise — even before it counts opening weekend receipts.
Last week, Disney's Marvel teased a trailer at Comic-Con for an upcoming animated series based on the movie, destined for the Disney-XD cable channel.
A "Guardians 2" movie is already in the works for 2017.
This release, which features Zoe Saldana, Chris Pratt and Bradley Cooper, is the top selling non-sequel movie of the year.
So far this season, box office take is off 19 percent, affecting the stocks of AMC Entertainment and Regal, but even if the Marvel movie generates the expected $200 million run in theaters, it won't do much to boost summer's weak slate of releases so far.
