Charles Wesley: An Overview of this Beloved Christian Song Writer
Charles Wesley, Biography
"Charles Wesley: One of the founders of Methodism; born at Epworth (23 miles northwest of Lincoln), [England] December 18, 1708, O. S. (December 29, N. S.); died in London March 29, 1788. He was the son of Samuel Wesley, Sr., and brother of [John] Wesley. In childhood he declined an offer of adoption by a wealthy namesake in Ireland; and the person taken in his stead became an earl, and grandfather to the duke of Wellington. He was educated at Westminster School, London, under his brother Samuel, 1716; at St. Peter's College, Westminster, London, 1721; and at Christ Church, Oxford, 1726, where, with his brother John and one or two others, he received the nickname of "Methodist" in consequence of the method they employed in prayer and daily life."

Charles Wesley, His Music
"Charles Wesley wrote over 6,000 hymns. Like most hymnists, his works were frequently altered. In the preface to the 1779 Collection of Hymns for the Use of the People called Methodists, his brother John wrote:
I beg leave to mention a thought which has been long upon my mind, and which I should long ago have inserted in the public papers, had I not been unwilling to stir up a nest of hornets. Many gentlemen have done my brother and me (though without naming us) the honour to reprint many of our hymns. Now they are perfectly wellcome to do so, provided they print them just as they are. But I desire they would not attempt to mend them, for they are really not able. None of them is able to mend either the sense or the verse. Therefore, I must beg of them these two favours: either to let them stand just as they are, to take things for better or worse, or to add the true reading in the margin, or at the bottom of the page, that we may no longer be accountable either for the nonsense or for the doggerel of other men."

Charles Wesley, His Diary
"Mon., September 22d. I was setting out for the Downs, when one asked me to ride out toward Mr. Willis's. At the end of the town I was informed the colliers were risen. Above one thousand of them I met at Lawrence-hill They came about me, and saluted me very affectionately, not having seen me since my sickness. The occasion of their rising, they told me, was the dearness of corn. I got to an eminence, and began speaking to them. Many seemed inclined to go back with me to the school; but the devil stirred up his oldest servants, who violently rushed upon the others, beating, and tearing, and driving them away from me. I rode up to a ruffian who was striking one of our colliers, and prayed him rather to strike me. He would not, he said, for all the world; and was quite overcome. I turned upon one who struck my horse, and he also sank into a lamb. Wherever I turned, Satan lost ground; so that he was obliged to make one general assault, and, by the few violent colliers, forced on the quiet ones into the town.
I seized on one of the tallest, and earnestly besought him to follow me: that he would, he said, all the world over. About six more I pressed into Christ's service. We met several parties; stopped and exhorted them to join us. We gleaned a few from every company, and grew as we marched along singing to the school. From one till three we spent in prayer that evil might be prevented, and the lion chained. Then news was brought us that the colliers were returned in peace. They had quietly walked into the city, without sticks, or the least violence. A few of the better sort went to the Mayor, and told their grievance: then they all returned as they came, without noise or disturbance. All who saw were amazed; for the leopards were laid down. Nothing could have more shown the change wrought ill them than this rising.
I found afterwards that all our colliers to a man had been forced in it. Having learned of Christ not to resist evil, they went a mile with those that compelled them rather than free themselves by violence. One the rioters dragged out of his sick-bed, and threw him into the Fishponds: near twenty of Mr. Willis's men they got by threatening to fill up their pits, and bury them alive, if they did not come up and bear them company."
Charles' Mother, Susanna Wesley
"As a wife and mother in a small 18th century English parish Susanna Wesley herself received little recognition for how she managed her household, raised and educated more than a dozen children and coped with a sometimes impecunious, idealistic and occasionally difficult clergyman husband. Yet from her personal influence and loving home came a son who would experience a spiritual awakening and use that inspiration to begin a ministry that would fill a void in the national spiritual life and also develop into a world wide church. Indeed, it might be said that the movement called Methodism had its foundations in the home of Susanna "

Charles' Brother John
"John Wesley, the celebrated preacher and founder of the Methodist Church, was a life-long opponent of slavery. His biography is well known, and is told in many places, both on the web and in many published works, so this article will focus mainly on his activities as a campaigner against slavery. His opposition to slavery and the slave trade began long before the issue had received widespread attention, and was sustained throughout his life. Indeed, his attitudes to slavery were formed early. In 1736-7 Wesley visited the then British colony of Georgia in North America where he came into contact with slaves. At the same time, he read Thomas Southerne's play Oroonoko, which was based on Aphra Behn's novel of the same name, and which related the tragedy of Oroonoko, an African prince kidnapped and sold into slavery. On his return to England, he passed the time on the long transatlantic voyage by teaching a young black man, presumably a slave, how to read and write.
These experiences fostered in Wesley an abhorrence of slavery, but it was not an abhorrence he felt able to act upon. In his journal, Wesley records meeting with people involved in the slave trade - including the slave-ship captain John Newton, now more famous as the author of the hymn "Amazing Grace". Newton's conversion to Christianity was later followed by a conversion to anti-slavery, but it is not recorded if he and Wesley discussed the issue. In 1772, the Somerset case, brought before the courts by Granville Sharp, put slavery in the news. Wesley, putting aside Laurence Sterne's Sentimental Journey (a book he described as marked by: "oddity, uncouthness, and unlikeness to all the world") took up instead Some historical account of Guinea, a work of anti-slavery by the Philadelphia Quaker, Anthony Benezet. Wesley recorded his thoughts in his journal:
Wed. 12.-In returning I read a very different book, published by an honest Quaker, on that execrable sum of all villanies, commonly called the Slave-trade. I read of nothing like it in the heathen world, whether ancient or modern; and it infinitely exceeds, in every instance of barbarity, whatever Christian slaves suffer in Mahometan countries."
"O for a thousand tongues to sing / My dear Redeemer's praise / The glories of my God and King, / The triumphs of his grace!" (see source)
Assist Me To Proclaim
The story is told of an unbeliever who began to seek answers by taking a closer look at Christianity. He had begun to feel the weight of his personal guilt and knew he was in need of help. While he later came to trust in Christ, his first encounter with Christian worship was not entirely positive.
He visited a church not too far from his home, walked in a bit late so as not to have to talk to anyone, sat down in the back row, and began to observe the service taking place around him. The congregation soon started to sing Charles Wesley's famous hymn O For a Thousand Tongues, and the visitor was struck by the dichotomy of what he was witnessing.
On the one hand, he could not help but notice that the hymn being sung spoke to the very heart of what had drawn him here in the first place: "Jesus! The name that calms our fears, That bids our sorrows cease…He breaks the power of cancelled sin, He sets the pris'ner free; His blood can make the foulest clean; His blood availed for me."

As you've probably gathered, there'll be a mammoth strike tomorrow as around two million public sector workers demonstrate their feelings over plans to change their pensions. The government wants to bring in the changes partly to make public sector pensions affordable in the long term and partly to help pay off the deficit.
Most attention has been on schools and airports, but with 23 unions having voted to strike - including some of the country's biggest - all kinds of public services could be affected. Courts, hospitals and council services will see disruption, but emergency services will continue to run. Even the British Library says its Reading Rooms will be affected.
The BBC has done a quick guide to what it's all about, and the Guardian's Polly Curtis spent most of today going through claim and counter-claim trying to sort out what the genuine situation with public sector pensions is. A poll yesterday showed 61% support for strikers nationwide, while a post on our Facebook page attracted a broad spectrum of opinion.
As well as picket lines (one of the more visible is likely to be Public and Commercial Services Union members outside Euston Tower from 7am), there'll also be a series of rallies and marches. The biggest is organised by the London and SE TUC, which starts at Lincoln's Inn Fields from 12pm, leaving at 1pm to walk to Victoria Embankment for a rally at 2pm. Yes, roads will be closed.
Let us know if you're striking or if you're going to be affected.

Like any teenager, EverQuest keeps making changes to how it does things. The patch scheduled for Wednesday, Aug. 17 looks like it will really shake up how several important game elements work in the 17-year-old MMO.
The most notable change in the update will be "one of the biggest" consolidations of AA ability lines the game has ever seen. It's a story almost as old as (MMO) time itself: Very complex system is introduced, becomes too complex as time goes on and new parts are added, and then is simplified — usually accompanied by cries of how the game is "for noobs now" by the 2% of players who loved the mind-bending complexity.
The effectiveness of stacking runes and adjustments to ripostes and other combat balances are also part of this months update, which is prepping the game for its 23rd expansion, coming later this year. There's a lot more to look over if you're an EQ fan, so head on over to the EQ forums for the full rundown.

Mm… that 'game is for noobs now' bit really depends on -how- far they go to simplify things. I don't play mmos to play essentially a glorified 3d Facebook game. SWTOR did their simplification right, in my opinion, taking away talent trees but making the classes even more unique from one another. WoW on the other hand with taking away the talent trees, *loud sigh*, yeah… you get the picture. Things can be meaningful and not overly complex all at once. And -some- complexity is needed or you get the people whining about how 'bored' they are.. on a game… god lord, go do something else, then. But, all I can really say is, I hope EQ gets it right.

It's been an odd few months for the Reigning Sound. The popular local garage-rock band was rumored broken-up late last year, with band leader Greg Cartwright on the verge of closing his Cooper-Young record shop, Legba Records, and moving to Asheville, North Carolina. Though those changes have occurred, the band has soldiered on as a long-distance affair, maybe even playing more local shows in the months since Cartwright's move than they had in the months prior.
Now, coming off a triumphant performance at last month's South By Southwest Music Festival, the band is back at the Hi-Tone CafÇ this weekend to celebrate the release of its third record, Too Much Guitar!, which will get a national release on the In the Red label April 27th.
With the hard-edged Too Much Guitar! ("We get crankier as we get older," bassist Jeremy Scott jokes) following the understated Break Up, Break Down and the pure-pop rush of Time Bomb High School, listeners get a real sense of the evolution of the band. It sounds as if Cartwright had decided to tear the intense roots-punk sound of his previous band, the Oblivians, completely apart and rebuild it record by record. The result on Too Much Guitar! is a sound every bit as loud and "in the red" as the Oblivians but more streamlined and under control.
Despite the striking, borderline-Springsteenian "Drowning," Too Much Guitar! seems to be, at least more than the band's previous albums, a sound record more than a song record --driven by the motorvating rhythm section of Scott and drummer Greg Roberson and the frenetic guitar and agitated vocals of Cartwright.
"I think it's a better record," says Scott, who never played bass before joining the Reigning Sound and admits he was still learning how to play the instrument on Break Up, Break Down. "It may not be as accessible [as Time Bomb High School]," Scott adds, "but it's more to my liking."
Roberson agrees: "I'm proud of it. We've made three records, and each one feels totally different. The first record was sort of a Neil Young, Byrdsy, folksy record. Time Bomb High School was more pop. And this is a total rock record."
As for the future, plans call for some touring later this year, probably including a stint in Europe in the summer. But for Cartwright and Roberson, band plans will have to take a back seat to daddy duties. Roberson has a 9-year-old daughter who is living with him during the week, and Cartwight has two elementary-school-aged sons in Memphis along with a brand-new baby girl --Ruby -- back in North Carolina. "We'll figure out what our summer vacation plans are with the kids and then block out touring from there," Roberson says.
However things pan out, you can expect the Reigning Sound to hit the road at some point. "We need to promote this record," Roberson says. "Larry Hardy [the owner of In the Red] has paid for this record and released it and our end of the bargain is that we go out and promote it." And there are also plans in the works for a fourth, quieter record to be released on Sympathy for the Record Industry, possibly later this year.
But, as Roberson admits, the band's future holds no certainties: "This is Greg Cartwright's band. He picks the songs. He writes the songs. He books the tours. I never assume that this band is gonna go past the next gig. We're all in it together, but when it's time to fish or cut bait, that's [Cartwright's] call."
"The way I look at it," says Scott, "is that the three of us have been playing together for four and a half years and at no point did we know what was going to happen next. So why should that change now?"

Tributes have begun to flood in for a beloved Doncaster teaching assistant, who was killed in a Maltby horror crash that last night claimed the lives of three women.
Diana Hunt, of Hatfield, was driving a red Toyota Aygo carrying two female passengers when the horrific three vehicle collision occurred near to Maltby colliery yesterday evening.
Tributes have begun to pour in for the 58-year-old, who worked as a teaching assistant at Moss Road Infant school in Askern for more than two decades.
Headteacher at the school, Katie Tordoff, said: "We are all devastated by the loss of Diana, a passionate and dedicated member of staff who had worked at our school for over 20 years.
* VIDEO: Three Doncaster women killed in Maltby horror crash
She added: "Our thoughts are with her family and friends as this difficult time, and we will be doing all we can to support our pupils, parents and staff through this period."
Commenting on social media Rebecca Dougill said: "God Bless Dianna a dear friend to my mum Kay Latham and all teaching staff at Moss Road Askern Doncaster.
She added: "Heaven has gained an angel.
"Sending our condolences to your daughters. God bless Dianna (sic)."
The other two Doncaster women, a 66-year-old and a 76-year-old, have been formally identified but their families have asked that their details are not released while extended family members are informed of the deaths.
The collision occurred at around 5.30pm on November 26, when the women were travelling along Tickhill Road, Maltby.
At the same time, a man driving a black Ford Focus was travelling in the opposite direction on Tickhill Road, away from Maltby and towards Tickhill.
Close to the entrance with Maltby colliery, the two cars and a van, believed to have been leaving the colliery, were involved in a collision.
All three women travelling in the Aygo died as a result of the injuries they sustained.
The driver of the Focus, a 28-year -old, was taken to hospital with serious injuries.
The male driver of the van was not injured.
South Yorkshire police are appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the collision or may have information is asked to 101 quoting incident number 913 of November 26, 2015.

Thanks to Gerald for the link!
via Defense Aerospace.
The roll-out of the first Short Take Off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) "B" variant of the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is an apt time to look back, and compare what Italy was promised in terms of work with what it is actually getting.Story here.
Since earlier this year, when Italian officials first began publicly complaining of major shortfalls in promised F-35-related work, it has been clear that
Lockheed Martin and the Joint Program Office have not lived up their promises; but few anticipated that the situation was as bad as it is.
For example, Guido Crosetto, the head of Italian aerospace and defense industry association AIAD, told Defense News Feb. 10 that "the U.S. 'had not honored promises' made since Italy joined the program, hurting Italian firms as well as threatening the livelihood of Italy's fledgling F-35 maintenance center."
Crosetto also said that Italy was told its workshare would likely reach around 65 percent of its investment, but that "Today we are at less than 20 percent."
This. This part of the F-35 story has never been dug into but has always puzzled me.
How can you have so many different suppliers in so many different countries, producing parts for a sophisticated airplane, and then setup another production facility overseas....and claim to be exercising maximum cost discipline?
The whole scheme, the whole ponzi scheme defied common sense business practices.
The Italians are the first to howl but I expect screams from Japan to hit soon too.
This program defies all logic and every ounce of anyone's common sense.

Re: Feline FamiliarGranny Weatherwax didn't have a cat. Nanny Ogg did. Greebo was one tough cat.
The WICKER MAN is NOT a pet. This is the only PET available from the Hallow's End vendors. (Dorothy is the Alliance Vendor. The Vendors for both sides are near the Wicker Men.)
Darn it - this is to those who have read Terry Pratchett, and know Granny Weatherwax, Nanny Ogg etc - Granny W, Was given the kitten and didn't know what to do with it. She would never hurt it - but having any pet is against her nature

Re: Creepy CrateActually, I thought I picked up a breadcrumb for this quest line from one of the givers of the Hallow's End Dailies.
It reminds me of The Luggage from the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett, too.
I am also glad its available at a low level.
For those doing the questing, IF you have the Traveling Tundra Mount (from Dalaran) you do not have to search for vendors or use the AH for 5 crystal vials, and 5 arcane powders. Your mount sells these items.

I know I got my Scorched Stone before I saw all five "Lts of the Flame."
I had read Wowhead and didn't expect this guy for about a month.
I was very surprised when it dropped in less than a week.
I can only hope that the same is true for others.
Please, please be patient for this pet to drop. It is NOT in a lock box. I am well aware of my guild situation, and my own (poor) abilities. That I received this pet still amazes me

HOWEVER, it is the pet that has triggered the most questions from other players as many want it. But as they learn that is comes from TCG loot they are not happy.
I want the suit/costume and then I can go for the fun stuff.

It took me about 1250 kills before this hatchling dropped for me, and a week of farming, with at least 100 kills per session. I counted 1228 kills, but I had a few more when doing archaeology in the area.

Re: PebbleI am wondering if the appearance of this daily has increased since its initial appearance.
I was late to Cata, after the 4.1 patch.
I think this daily appeared at least once a week, since I earned the rep with Therazane to get this quest.
It takes due diligence to get this done. I was exalted with Therazane weeks ago, and had to keep checking into Deepholm to finish this and the Glop family line achievements.

Re: Green Wing MacawWhen I farmed this for me, the Macaw fell during the first run through DM.
I just farmed this for my guild mate. It took three runs through DM and it dropped one of the last pirates in that 3rd run.
I did notice that during the last instance there were "Monstrous Parrots" flying about with the Screachers. I didn't notice them on the two previous runs.

Re: Panther CubYou need to be lvl 85. You pick up the chain in Stormwind Harbor (Alliance). Breadcrumb on the Heros Call board.
You get the pet early in the chain.
You need to finish the chain to prevent STV from being phased. The last quest puts you in Booty Bay. You have to be dismounted to talk to the person Bwemba has been looking for. This is necessary to stop the phasing of STV.

Re: Alliance BalloonIts an easy quest. It takes about 5 or 10 minutes.
The balloons are located at ground level, and sparkle. You can be on a flying mount with them.
I found one in The Cathedral Square, one in the Damaged Harbor to the southwest of the Cathedral Square, and three others in the Dwarven District.
It may have been easier for me because I don't think anyone else was looking for the balloons.
I also think it was good of Blizzard to make a new LOW level pet available.
My balloon counted.

I know your pain. You have killed over 1000 animals and humanoids in STV and this hatchling still won't drop. I had to kill around 3000 before she dropped.
Your consolation is that you have also been farming the Hyacinth Macaw, with a 1 in 5000 drop rate. You may even get another hatchling or two before the Macaw drops.
So keep going for this elusive hatchling. She is worth it.
For me - 8 hatchlings down, 2 more to go.

Re: MuckbreathThis particular croc was a long farm for me.
The first three crocs dropped in order while doing the fishing dailies.
I swear this one took at least six more tries, possibly eight or more. The time period was at least two and a half months.
It finally dropped on the first day of the Midsummer World Event.
I have noticed that the first day of world events are often times when this particular fishing daily will turn up on my server. (US, Alterac Mtns.)

I was very lucky and have all the hatchlings that come from nests.
There are 24 raptors in the instance. Each raptor drops either a tooth or a flecked deviate scale.
If the drop rate is 1 per 1000, you may have to do 50 or so runs through the instance.
I did 16 runs today.
You don't have to worry about others when farming this hatchling because you are in your own instance.
You can only do 5 runs in a dungeon per hour.

I would rather have a different color scheme to tell the pets apart, to make them slightly different from each other.

I recently went back to try it again and it seemed a whole lot easier.
I don't know if got changed or just being level 80+ made the difference.
Can't wait until I am geared for Heroics and I get this Hatchling. I love her and always have since being in STV when I was a low level player.

Re: FireflyA swing on LadyHryaeda's route gives you 21 bogflare weedlers to kill. Most are on the Serpent Lake side of the isles, but there is one that is tucked away on the Blades Edge side. I would pick that one up on my return flight to the beginning of the farming route.
Mine dropped today after approx. 650 kills. I am not lucky. I have been going after the Razzashi Hatchling with more than 1500 kills and no luck on that.

Sudden Disappearance of the Worker Bees, The Narrator:
Karen White
Synopsis'Its very real seductiveness lies in its ironic description of issues that are secondary to the investigation.' - Le Monde. On vacation with her husband in an idyllic Italian valley, Police Inspector Simona Tavianello stops at the local beekeeper's shop to buy some honey, where she finds a body lying in the entrance. Simona tries to avoid involvement - she is, after all, off-duty. But when she realizes that the murder weapon is her own gun, what can she do but take charge? The victim was an engineer at the controversial agricultural research center for Sacropiano, a biotechnology company accused of developing pesticides that are making the bees in the region disappear. At the same time Simona found the body, the local beekeepers were nearby organizing a militant sit-in to protest the company's practices. And found on the floor near the corpse was a tract entitled, 'The Bee Revolution.' Simona Tavianello's investigation gets her caught between the radical environmentalists and the powerful industrialists who are allied with the police. That would be complication enough, but she also needs to deal with the wounded ego of Cacabonda, the local police officer, who is officially in charge of the investigation. With her sharp humor and spot-on observations of current events in Italy, can Tavianello not only solve the murder, but also discover the intriguing reason behind the disappearance of the bees?
Socialnomics Narrator:
Nick Sullivan
SynopsisSocial Media. You've heard the term, even if you don't use the tools. But just how big has social media become? Social media has officially surpassed pornography as the top activity on the Internet. People would rather give up their email than their social network. It is so powerful that it is causing a macro shift in the way we live and conduct business. Brands can now be strengthened or destroyed by the use of social media. Online networking sites are being used as giant, free focus groups. Advertising is less effective at influencing consumers than the opinions of their peers. If you aren't using social media in your business strategy, you are already behind your competition. In Socialnomics, you will learn • How the concept of 'Socialnomics' is changing the way businesses produce, market, and sell, eliminating inefficient marketing and middlemen, and making products easier and cheaper for consumers to obtain• How successful businesses are connecting with consumers like never before via Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and other social media sites• How to harness the power of social media, rather than being squashed by it Author Erik Qualman is a former online marketer for several Top 100 brands and is currently the global vice president of Online Marketing for the world's largest private education firm. Socialnomics is an essential audiobook for anyone who wants to understand the implications of social media, and how businesses can tap the power of social media to increase their sales, cut their marketing costs, and reach consumers directly.
Ebola Narrator:
Mel Foster
Synopsis"A frightening and fascinating masterpiece of science reporting that reads like a detective story." —Walter Isaacson In 1976 a deadly virus emerged from the Congo forest. As swiftly as it came, it disappeared, leaving no trace. Over the four decades since, Ebola has emerged sporadically, each time to devastating effect. It can kill up to 90 percent of its victims. In between these outbreaks, it is untraceable, hiding deep in the jungle. The search is on to find Ebola's elusive host animal. And until we find it, Ebola will continue to strike. Acclaimed science writer and explorer David Quammen first came near the virus while he was traveling in the jungles of Gabon, accompanied by local men whose village had been devastated by a recent outbreak. Here he tells the story of Ebola—its past, present, and its unknowable future. Extracted from Spillover by David Quammen, updated and with additional material.
Soul of Viktor Tronko, The Narrator:
Mikael Naramore
SynopsisWhen Soviet agent Viktor Tronko defected to the US in 1964, he made two intriguing claims: he insisted that Russia had not placed a mole inside the CIA, and that Lee Harvey Oswald had not been recruited to assassinate the president. Convinced that Tronko was working as a disinformation agent, the CIA furiously did everything they could to break him. But Tronko had one more surprise for them: he refused to break. Almost two decades later, former CIA officer Mel Pokorny shows up at journalist Michael Kessler's house and offers to talk about Tronko. It's the scoop of a lifetime for Kessler. But the more he investigates, the closer he gets to the truth: a truth so shocking that someone would do anything to keep it under wraps. This could be the biggest story of his life…if it doesn't kill him first. Filled with fascinating characters and darkly delicious humor, The Soul of Viktor Tronko is a rich, suspenseful espionage saga inspired by a true story.
Spillover Narrator:
Jonathan Yen
Synopsis"Science writing as detective story at its best." —Jennifer Ouellette, Scientific AmericanA New York Times Notable Book of the Year, a Scientific American Best Book of the Year, and a Finalist for the National Book Critics Circle Award.Ebola, SARS, Hendra, AIDS, and countless other deadly viruses all have one thing in common: the bugs that transmit these diseases all originate in wild animals and pass to humans by a process called spillover. In this gripping account, David Quammen takes the listener along on this astonishing quest to learn how, where from, and why these diseases emerge and asks the terrifying question: what might the next big one be?
How to Write Everything Narrator:
David Quantick
SynopsisHow to Write Everything is the ultimate writer's handbook. It tells you about every aspect of writing, from having an idea to getting the idea out into the world and getting paid for it, too. It covers everything from journalism to screenwriting, from speeches to sketches, from sitcoms to novels. With thirty years' experience as an award-winning scriptwriter, journalist, author, and broadcaster, David Quantick is ideally suited, as a writer, to write this definitive writer's guide to writing...everything.
Aftermath Narrator:
Serena Gay
SynopsisA journalist is haunted by the ghost of a story - and a woman - she can't leave behind. A story so powerful that it haunts the dreams and waking hours of all that have lived through it. A genocide in which the West failed to save the innocent. This is the story of aftermath - of how the dead we fail, haunt us - and how we must return, to lay their ghosts and set ourselves free. Katharine Quarmby is a writer, journalist, and film-maker. Her latest book is No Place to Call Home: Inside the Real Lives of Gypsies and Travellers (One World Publications, 2013). Her first Kindle Single, Blood and Water, was also published this year (Thistle, 2013). In 1997 she travelled with reporter Fergal Keane and BBC Panorama to Rwanda, two years after the genocide, working as assistant producer on the Bafta award-winning Valentina's Story. She returned with Fergal Keane to produce two prize-winning films with BBC Newsnight in 1999. Since then she has worked both in TV and in print journalism, as a correspondent for The Economist, as well as contributing to British broadsheets, including the Guardian and Sunday Times. This is her first short story.
Blood and Water Narrator:
Polly Lee
SynopsisIn this poignant book, the writer and investigative journalist Katharine Quarmby describes the 20-year search for her Iranian birth father and her own adoption history. She links this narrative to the wider story that she uncovered during her search - of the many missing Iranian military fathers, who disappeared after the Iranian Revolution, but who are still sought by so many Iranian love-children in Britain today. Her narrative is a meditation on the importance of both birth and adoptive families - and a challenge to those who would set aside the importance of race as a factor in adoption. She describes what it feels like to search and discover your roots, in a moving story that takes her to Iran undercover, on a secret visit - a visit that changes her forever. The love of the parents who raised her gave her the courage to find her birth father. This is her tribute to both her families.
Republic of Outsiders Narrator:
Therese Plummer
SynopsisRepublic of Outsiders is about the growing number of Americans who disrupt the status quo: outsiders who seek to redefine a wide variety of fields, from film and mental health to diplomacy and music, from how we see gender to what we eat. They include professional and amateur filmmakers crowd-sourcing their work, transgender and autistic activists, and Occupy Wall Street's alternative bankers." These people create and package new identities in a practice cultural critic Alissa Quart dubs 'identity innovation": they push the boundaries of who they can be and what they can do, even turning the forces of co-optation to their benefit. In a brilliant and far-reaching account, Quart introduces us to individuals who have created new structures to keep themselves sane, fulfilled, and, on occasion, paid. This deeply reported book shows how and why these groups now gather, organize, and create new communities and economies. Without a middleman, freed of established media, and highly mobile, unusual ideas and cultures are able to spread more quickly and find audiences and allies. Republic of Outsiders is a critical examination of those for whom being rebellious, marginal, or amateur is a source of strength rather than weakness.
Cool Narrator:
James Patrick Cronin
SynopsisA bold argument that our 'quest for cool' shapes modern culture and the global economy. Like it or not, we live in an age of conspicuous consumption. In a world of brand names, many of us judge ourselves and others by the products we own. Teenagers broadcast their brand allegiances over social media. Tourists flock to Rodeo Drive to have their pictures taken in front of luxury stores. Soccer moms switch from minivans to SUVs to hybrids while hip beer connoisseurs flaunt their knack for distinguishing a Kölsch from a pilsner. How did this pervasive desire for 'cool' emerge, and why is it so powerful today that it is a prime driver of the global economy? In Cool, the neuroscientist and philosopher Steven Quartz and the political scientist Anette Asp bring together the latest findings in brain science, economics, and evolutionary biology to form a provocative theory of consumerism, revealing how the brain's 'social calculator' and an instinct to rebel are the crucial missing links in understanding the motivations behind our spending habits. Applying their theory to everything from grocery shopping to the near-religious devotion of Harley-Davidson fans, Quartz and Asp explore how the brain's ancient decision-making machinery guides consumer choice. Using these revolutionary insights, they show how we use products to advertise ourselves to others in an often unconscious pursuit of social esteem. Surprising at every turn, Cool will change the way you think about money, status, desire, and choice.

This feisty major codified colonial military strategies into a document, known as Standing Orders, and put these principles to practice in many battles, campaigns, and scouting. 'These attractive titles serve not only as quality report sources, but also as general interest titles.' - School Library Journal
Fire Sermon Narrator:
Christine Marshall
SynopsisJamie Quatro's remarkable first book of stories I Want to Show You More published to spectacular reviews, announcing her arrival to American letters as 'a writer of great originality' (New York Times Book Review). Now, with her debut novel, Fire Sermon, Quatro delivers a startlingly original portrait of an obsession and the complexities of a marriage. Married 20 years to Thomas and living in Nashville with their two children, Maggie is drawn ineluctably into a passionate affair while still fiercely committed to her husband and family. What begins as a platonic intellectual and spiritual exchange between writer Maggie and poet James, gradually transforms into an emotional and erotically-charged bond that challenges Maggie's sense of loyalty and morality, drawing her deeper into the darkness of desire. Using an array of narrative techniques and written in spare, elegant prose, Jamie Quatro gives us a compelling account of one woman's emotional, psychological, physical, and spiritual yearnings - unveiling the impulses and contradictions that reside in us all. Fire Sermon is an unflinchingly honest and formally daring debut novel from a writer of enormous talent.
Wave Function Collapse Narrator:
Jamie Quatro
SynopsisJamie Quatro's stories are uncensored, sometimes eccentric explorations of life - its darkness and brilliance - written in a voice that David Means describes as 'bright, sharp, startling, utterly distinctive, passionate, and secretive'. Quatro writes from Lookout Mountain, Georgia, where she lives with her husband, Scott, and their children. 'Wave Function Collapse' is a stand-alone story first published in the Spring 2013 issue of The Oxford American, narrated by the author, and is a great introduction to her writing. Download her new collection, I Want to Show You More, also available at Audible.

One of our beautiful patient ambassadors, Rachy, attended transplant clinic yesterday. She was told words that no 22 year old should ever have to hear; that without a transplant very soon, she will die.
Please pop over here to read her account of it to leave her a message of support.
And here's our plea to all you fab supporters;
Sadly it's not just Rach who today will be sitting at home going over those words in her head. There are over 8000 people on the waiting list right now, and by speaking out, by telling a friend, by emailing round the link to Rachy's post or to the LLTGL website, we can make a difference. Organ Donation is the greatest gift of all, but it relies on us as a society to spread the word about why it's so so important.
Please take time today to think about it, talk about it, and do something about it.
Thank you x

In addition, the Express are riding a nine-game winning streak as they enter the Nationals.
The Lady Knights look to counter the Express with their all-time leading scorer, assists, and steals leader: Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) who comes into the Nationals with 1,021 career points, 305 assists and 254 steals. This year averaging 18 points, 4.4 assists, and 4.5 steals per game. Smith will be helped by Nyjah Porcher (New Britain, CT) the single season rebound leader with 323 rebounds this year who averages 15.6 points and 11.2 rebounds per game. The two sophomores will be helped by the freshman guard tandem of Lexi Barros (New Bedford, MA) averaging 16 points per game with 3.6 assists and 3.7 steals and Ahnyyah Jackson (Hackensack, NJ) averaging 12 points per game.
Should the Lady Knights win their first match-up they would face the winner of the 2 vs. 15 match-up of Louisburg College (NC) and Erie Community College (NY) Wednesday at 8:00pm CST. Should CCRI lose they would play the loser of that game Thursday at 9:00am CST.

It has been AGES since we've had a "10 Things" post, and so I am so excited to kick off another round of my little question and answer game with Annie of Elsa May. Can I just tell you how much I lurve Annie's blog? Top to bottom eye candy in every post.
Onward to Annie's 10 Things...
The last thing I do before bed is: check on my sleeping boys and kiss them goodnight.
If I didn't have to work, you'd find me: gardening or horse riding.
The last time I cried was: when I was thrown a good four metres off my horse - ouch!
My signature dish is: probably apple and berry crumble.
When I need to blow off steam I: head out for a brisk walk somewhere green.
The best place to be in the fall is: walking in the woods, or out in the paddocks on my parents farm. And the best time is late afternoon when the light and temperature are falling, and you can smell the woodsmoke from the chimney as you walk home.
I could spend the whole day: gardening or horse riding. A truly indulgent day would be spent curled up with a book - no interruptions, and no have-to-be-somewheres.
The book I can read again and again is: hmm...this changes from time to time, but Jane Eyre is a good "comfort" go to.
The farthest I've been from home is: technically (as in the most miles) it would have to be Edinburgh, Scotland.
The best thing about my family is: that they are always there for me, no matter what. And that I can talk to my parents about absolutely anything.
The words I live by are: treat others how you'd like to be treated. Oh, and try to remember to be kind to yourself (easier said than done).
You'll always find in my pantry: dark, dark chocolate.
Annie - thank you SO much for taking the time to do this. Means a ton. Your photos and thoughts have inspired me to get outside and breath in some fresh air!
xo, Kristin

Oh, I just love these kind of posts. It's fun to get a little peak into the mind of our favorite bloggers, isn't it? Very fun. Especially when you realize how much you have in common with them - dark chocolate, good books, walks in the Fall... I think you've inspired me to find out where I can go horseback riding - I haven't done it since I was a kid. Maybe when my boys are old enough to do it with me...

The Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) says that claims by Burma's government that rescue efforts from cyclone Nargis were over was undermining international confidence with the total death toll still unknown. As Ron Corben reports from Bangkok the ASEAN chief's comments came as the United Nations secretary general met with Burma's Prime Minister in efforts to speed up relief efforts and ahead of a donors meeting on Sunday.
Association of South East Asian Nations Secretary-General, Surin Pitsuwan, speaking to reporters Thursday, said claims by Burma's military that relief efforts were over and for reconstruction to go ahead was undermining international confidence.
Mr. Surin said international agencies were still saying the full extent of the disaster has yet to be "fully verified."
"This discrepancy is a confidence gap that has to be verified, that has to be reconciled because that is the gap that is going to create confidence or lack of confidence for the claim that the rescue and relief phase is over," he said. "The shared concern is we don't know the extent of the damage, we don't know the numbers of the dead, the numbers of the missing or the numbers of the displaced."
Burmese authorities say the cyclone that hit May 2 and May 3 killed an estimated 78,000 people, and that 56,000 others are still missing. Some 2.5 million people remain in need of critical aid and the United Nations says just 30 percent of those in need have received assistance.
ASEAN foreign ministers reached agreement this week with Burma for greater access for regional assistance. ASEAN and the U.N. formed the "coalition of the mercy" with the purpose of stepping up relief. Burma's military has been widely criticized for restricting access to international aid agencies to the worst affected regions.
On Thursday U.N. Secretary, General Ban Ki-moon, met with Burma's Prime Minister, Thein Sein, to press the military to open the country to greater access to international relief. Mr. Ban is due to meet with Burma's senior General Than Shwe Friday.
Mr. Ban's visit comes ahead of a donor's conference scheduled for Sunday. Burma says the total cost from the cyclone now stands at $11 billion.
Non-government aid organizations are calling on the international community to support the ASEAN initiative to assist Burma by way of the donor's meeting. Dr. Jermail Mahmood is president of Mercy Malaysia.
"ASEAN must know that it is not alone and it must know that it has the support from international aid agencies who have the experience behind them to play an active role in ensuring that the humanitarian response imperative comes first and beyond that the recovery and reconstruction as well," said Dr. Mahmood.
But human rights groups are concerned aid funds are accounted for and meet international standards amid fears of corruption. Debbie Stothardt, is spokeswomen for the rights group, the Alternative ASEAN Network. She says transparency and accountability will be foremost in donor's minds.
"What we need to see from the aid community is a very strong, united response not just a call for money but to actually insist that rules and criteria be adopted," she said.
Aid organizations say Burma is allowing more aid to be flown in planes carrying emergency supplies, including from the United States. But they say more relief is needed given the scale of the disaster.

Step #1: Eliminate the U.S. Penny ($0.01) Coin.
Step #2: Replace the U.S. paper Dollar ($1.00) with a U.S. Coin Dollar, universally.
These two easy, if unpopular, changes would save billions over a 10 year period, would bring the U.S. in line with other nations currency styles and uses, and really is one of the easiest no-brainers going.
What amzes me is that it will probably never happen.

A Phase I/II Study of the Combination of Temozolomide and Pazopanib in Advanced Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumors (PNET)
I. Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of temozolomide and pazopanib (pazopanib
hydrochloride) combination in patients with advanced PNET. (Phase I) II. Determine the
overall response rate (ORR). (Phase II)
I. Determine safety and toxicity profile of the combination of temozolomide and pazopanib in
this population. (Phase I) II. Describe the pharmacokinetics of temozolomide alone and in
combination with pazopanib. (Phase I) III. Observe the ORR. (Phase I) IV. Determine
progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS), disease control rate (DCR), and
duration of response (DOR). (Phase II) V. Determine the safety and toxicity profile of the
combination in a larger cohort of patients. (Phase II)
I. Examine the relationship between tumor blood flow, as measured by perfusion functional
computed tomography (f CT), and overall response.
II. Correlate the expression of tissue methyl-guanine methyl transferase (MGMT) as measured
by immunohistochemistry (IHC) with ORR and PFS.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.
Patients receive temozolomide orally (PO) once daily (QD) on days 1-7 and 15-21 and
pazopanib hydrochloride PO QD on days 1-28. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of
disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months.
Allocation: Non-Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Number of dose limiting toxicities in patients treated with this regimen
For patients in the Phase I portion: Toxicity will be assessed according to the National Cancer Institute's (NCI) Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0. The number of patients experiencing dose limiting toxicities at a particular level will determine whether the dose can be tolerated.
After 28 days (1 course of treatment)

Exceptional work permits in Turkey (Istanbul)
Hi everyone!
Probably for many of you the topic about getting a work permit in Turkey is very important. I have some questions about this topic.
As it is said in the law there are work permits that are called Exceptional , which can be obtained by Foreigners married to Turkish Citizens and living in Turkey with their spouses who stay in Turkey legally. It is said about these exceptional permits: there are exceptions when a work permit will be issued independently from the terms listed by Law.
My question is: As a person married with a Turkish citizen and living legally in Turkey do I still need to have a job contract to apply for work permit? And what exactly is the "exceptional" part for people in my situation?
Even if I still need a contract do i need to provide all the documents that are listed as requited for the regular work permits (translated diploma and so on?!?)
It seems very hard finding a job in Turkey in general, so the lack of work permit is really bothering me so it may be a problem with future employees.
How do you guys deal with these situations. I would like to hear your experiences.

Election Day is upon us and there is no short supply of self-avowed liberty lovers who have decided to either sit this election out or vote for a third party candidate (like Gary Johnson). Practically speaking, these alternatives are indistinguishable from one another, for a vote for a third party candidate is essentially a non-vote. In any event, for the lover of liberty to make either choice is for him to betray his vocation to promote liberty.
Liberty demands the defeat of President Obama. But the only way — the only way — for this to occur is for the champion of liberty to vote for the president's rival, Governor Mitt Romney.
Ultimately, there is but one objection to this verdict. It can be seen and has been heard from miles away. Objectors reason as follows: There isn't a dime's worth of difference between Obama and Romney. A choice for either presidential candidate is a choice for evil. And even if one isn't as evil as the other, they continue, the vote for the lesser of two evils is still an evil.
That liberty lovers should be disillusioned with our two national political parties is both understandable and justifiable. But their position on this score, reflecting as it does both their despair as well as their complacency, casts doubt upon their professions of love for liberty.
In throwing up his vote by refusing to vote for either Democrat or Republican — the only two realistic options on the ballot — the lover of liberty throws up his hands in despair. He essentially says that he will turn the fate of his country — the inheritance that his ancestors sacrificed immeasurably to bequeath to their posterity — over to those whom he regards as evil.
As a result, he is complicit in their wickedness.
To be clear, it isn't the refusal to vote in itself that calls into question the sincerity of the self-avowed friend of liberty. If his call to abstain from voting was coupled with calls for secession, say, or even a coup of the government, then while we may or may not agree with his methods, we could no longer in good faith suspect his integrity. But, to my knowledge, the self-proclaimed lovers of liberty who never tire of shouting from the rooftops the bumper sticker slogan that "the lesser of two evils is still an evil" while accusing the rest of us of "compromising" principle have never argued on behalf of either secession or an overthrow of the government.
No, they just urge us to vote for Gary Johnson. Or they assure us that they will be writing in Ron Paul.
Neither gesture will forward the cause of liberty by one iota. The self-avowed champion of liberty refuses to vote for Obama or Romney, Democrat or Republican, for even if one is not as evil as the other, the lesser of two evils is still an evil and it is always wrong to choose evil. Thus, in refraining to vote for politicians from either national party, the liberty lover refuses to "compromise" his principles. This is what he tells us.
On its face, this argument seems sensible enough. But once we look beyond its face, it can be seen for the house of straw that it is. Think about it: If both ruling parties are agents of evil, then the legal arrangements over which these forces of evil exercise control are also evil. Yet inasmuch as he observes the laws of the land, the lover of liberty, then, complies with evil. That is, each time he acts lawfully, he chooses evil.
It will do no good for the liberty lover to reply that he has no real choice in this matter. He does indeed have a choice: He could choose to violate the law.
We need to be clear as to what this means, though. Truly principled opposition to unjust laws must shine light on itself. That is, the lover of liberty has no option but to engage in what we call "civil disobedience": He must make his displeasure with the law(s) public knowledge — and show his willingness to accept the penalties for his disobedience.
Of course, since it is the entire system of laws to which he objects — how can matters be otherwise when it is two indistinguishable forces of evil that have been busy at work constructing this system for years and years? — the lover of liberty will be consumed in perpetuity with the enterprise of disobeying one law after the other.
Until then, however, the lover of liberty is guilty of — you guessed it! — compromising his principles.
The lover of liberty could reply to this charge by denying, quite plausibly, the claim that the entire system under which we live is evil. However, if so, he must explain how a system that has been the monopoly of two evil parties for most of the country's history can be anything other than evil itself. This he will not be able to do.
There is another problem with his reply. If it is inaccurate to say that the entire system is corrupt, that law abidingness amounts to an abandonment of principle, then it is just as inaccurate to say that the entirety of Romney's agenda (or even that of Obama, for that matter) is corrupt.
Romney, along with his fellow partisans, has pledged to repeal ObamaCare. Would that be evil? He also wants to make America more energy independent. Would this be evil? A Romney administration would engender an environment dramatically more business-friendly than any that we could ever expect from an Obama administration. Would this be evil?
In the real world, the choices with which we are confronted never so much as remotely approximate anything like ideal. This is a painful lesson that growing up teaches us. The lover of liberty knows — or should know — this better than anyone. And he does indeed reveal his knowledge of this each and every time he obeys the laws of his city, state, and country (which is virtually always) — however "evil" he must find these Democrat and Republican authored and enforced laws to be.
But if the liberty lover isn't guilty of compromising his principles in this case, then neither can he credibly be said to be guilty of compromising his principles when he votes to stop the most dangerous threat to his liberty by voting for the only thing that realistically can stop it.
And on this Election Day, the only thing that can stop a second Obama term and all that this entails is Mitt Romney. This is no more a vote for "the lesser of two evils" then is the decision to abide by a flawed system of law (a system, again, that the self-sworn lover of liberty must deem evil).
Nor, as I have shown, does it make any sense to describe such a choice in terms of a compromise of principle.

Please Help. Internet dropping out
This is my second post about this problem as the first had no reply and this problem is driving me crazy.
My internet access will keep dropping out randomly.
i have done several ping tests and to google when the internet drops out it says Request timed out.
it says request timed out when i ping my modem(192.168.1.254) as well when my internet drops out.
I have recently bought a PCI network card from TP-Link (TG-3269) and it has done nothing to solve my problem.
I have reinstalled the drivers countless times.
Changed the cat5 cable once.
Reinstalled windows Once but the problem persists.
Also this problem only started to happen after i moved house.
And when i took it to a store to get fixed they couldn't duplicate the problem so couldn't fix it.
Please help me on this im diverting to playing console games.....

It could be a line problem, check with your ISP and have them run a line test.
|My System Specs

It can't be the ISP's problem because the other computers work fine. And i'm pretty sure im not behind a router but i'll check. Any other suggestions?
|My System Specs

It disconnect again like a minute ago. This time when i did the windows 7 troubleshooter thing it actually came up with a problem. DNS isn't responding hope this can help you help me :X
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2011
you said "It can't be the ISP's problem because the other computers work fine. And i'm pretty sure im not behind a router..."
in your home, IF more than one computer can connect to the internet you are definitely 'behind a router'.
IF your system specs are correct--the 5200 RC--is a router.
How are you connecting the machine that keeps dropping out? Wireless? or Wired?
the 'DNS not responding' make me think you are wireless--probably to far or too obstructed from router antenna--IF wired...could be a bad cable. (when the connection drops...are the other computers still connected?)
here's a link to the operating manual for your router:
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2011
I know for a fact im wired. there is however a wireless network in my home but my PC doesn't use it; thats for the laptops and such. My Modem does have the latest firmware. And yes when my computer drops the other computers are still connected.
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2011
OK--so the problem is somewhat narrowed down to your machine only.
possible solutions:
1. IF there is another machine with a wired connection in your home--try connecting to that 'exact' line (move your machine to that location)--if problem persists--then it is probably an issue with your machine.
2.IF problem goes away--is possibly a bad ethernet cable, a bad router port, or possibly a bad or incorrectly connected line filter

Windows 7 Ultimate x64
Usually that happens when two IPs are the same.. but usually windows will let you know there is a duplicate IP on the network.
What if you tried a static IP address on the computer... that will narrow some of the issues down.
If and only if the dynamic ip server on your router is conflicting with your PC.
Another thing, can you check your firewall... can you shut your firewall off TEMP to see if its staying online or not.
Another thing is check the firewall with your router...I know this may be a long shot but do a Full restore on the routers configuration file... make sure you back it up first because if the flash doesn't work then you can restore your previous settings.
Another... just to narrow some problems down.. can you change the LAN port that is going to your computer and move it to another port. Possible to one that you know is working with another computer.
|My System Specs
|13 Jan 2011
Ok so im pretty sure its not a bad wire as i've replaced that, i have changed the port this computer uses to a known working one but to no avail. However i did take it once to a local computing shop to get fixed but they couldn't duplicate the problem so was unable to solve the problem.
I would like to try the static IP test but i have no idea on how to do that. Does static IP on this computer just mean that it always has the same IP adress?

Back in February in my Vegan Banh Mi post, I listed down all the Vietnamese dishes that I have been able to find or make vegan versions of. I said in that post that I hoped the list was an ever growing one. Today I would like to happily announce that I have another addition to the list: vegan bun thit nuong cha gio! (Vietnamese noodles with grilled "meat" and spring rolls).
So my list of veganized Vietnamese dishes is now:
Banh Xeo (Vietnamese pancake)
Banh bao
Banh chung (Lunar cake)
Goi cuon (Vietnamese rice paper rolls)
Banh mi thit
Bun thit nuong cha gio
This is one of my favourite traditional Vietnamese dishes. It is not at all vegan friendly, but after much planning and brain storming I managed to come up with my own vegan version of the much loved favourite. I haven't had this dish for over two years! Oh how I've missed it.
The recipe is quite long because I made everything from scratch, but I will have it up soon! Watch this space :)
