Introverts and extroverts. Does it really matter?
I like the personality traits explanation below of what an introvert and extrovert are at www.fastcompany.com:
"Introversion and extroversion actually relate to where people get their energy from. Or in other words, how they recharge their brains.
Introverts (or those of us with introverted tendencies) tend to recharge by spending time alone. They lose energy from being around people for long periods of time, particularly large crowds.
Extroverts, on the other hand, gain energy from other people. Extroverts actually find their energy is sapped when they spend too much time alone. They recharge by being social."
Differences are okay.
I've always felt different… to the point of being defective. I could never understand why being around people was so draining.
It might not matter to most people the understanding that there are different ways that people experience the world. But, to me, learning about introverts and extroverts has given me peace about who I am. I no longer care if people don't get me. I get me and that is all that is important.
Unfortunately I didn't learn this truth until I was 40. To try and hide my guilt from feeling guilty, bad, and wrong all the time, I turned into a people-pleaser. That got me through high school, but slowly into adulthood, my inner conflict kept growing bigger and bigger until I just became depressed and resentful with anyone that needed anything from me. I thank God that I finally learned this truth.
Loving unconditionally.
My in-laws are extroverts. It has been a big adjustment on both sides to learn how to understand and treat each other. They have had to learn that I need my space and privacy. I don't want to know all of their business, and I definitely do not want them to know any of mine.
I don't like them showing up unannounced for no reason and I don't like phone calls just to chit-chat. They are host-aholics and host lots of parties and get-togethers. They like to be around lots of people and talk and visit. I don't. They have had to learn that just because I don't show up, doesn't mean that I don't like them. It simply means that I can't do big social situations. It makes me physically sick and depressed.
And, I've learned to just smile whenever they give me suggestions and advice on how to "fix" myself. It's all about loving people unconditionally. We don't know all that goes on behind each other's smile. Life can be hard. We all struggle with many different things. But we don't have to make it harder by judging and taking offense. We are all God's children and we need to learn how to love others the way He loves them.

[Correspondence] Medical leadership—from inspiration to education
In his Offline, Richard Horton (July 11, p 120)1 draws attention to the unmet need for leadership acumen within the medical profession. He attributes the challenge to a tendency to focus on fixing leadership weaknesses rather than developing strengths. Playing to an individual's strengths, he contends, is more likely to result in inspirational leadership. And while Horton rightly argues that accentuating one's strengths is a good strategy, he stops short of advocating for widely cited competency models now used to design curricula in health leadership.

Wait! Another post on clothing from someone whose last purchase was gold linen trousers she hasn't worn yet?
Sadly, yes.
Because right after I wrote yesterday's post, I cam across this article at NYmag.com. I'd like to say I was cool enough to be tracking all of this, but no; Facebook or my Facebook friends are cool enough for the both of us...
Anyhow, the article profiled an up and coming company called Cuyana, whose manifesto is that their clients should trim their closets down to the essentials or things they love, hopefully some of which will come from the very limited, but of excellent quality, inventory they sell. To quote the article:
The theory is limiting the selection of items helps women to think about their wardrobes in terms of the long game, hopefully eschewing fast-fashion whim purchases for these items that are made to last.
Like Everlane, Cuyana uses a direct-to-consumer model that allows them to price their luxury, quality, goods at a lower price.
You will find a lot of Alpaca on their website (scratch, scratch just thinking of that), along with cashmere, silk and and a lot of leather goods that reminded me quite of a lot of Everlane's leather goods.
In the interview, the founders discuss the current craze amongst some (myself included to a very small degree, since if you looked at my closet it would probably still seem like a lot) around the Lean Closet Movement and even cites Marie Kondo of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up (see this blog post for more on my preliminary experiences) as being an inspiration. They want us to buy with intention and say "if Americans could just slow down and be a little bit more thoughtful, they'll make better purchases." Hmmm, that's a risky marketing strategy, I think, and could be perceived by some as a tad condescending, although I think they are very sincere in their intent.
Their philosophy:
But I get them. I mean, we all should be buying less, because buying less means we are putting money away from our retirement, or our kids or whatever and mainly because we are being a lot less taxing on our planet, and yet....
Somehow I am not finding this new technique for taking my dollar not any more satisfying than the old technique that told me if I buy X, Y or Z I will be prettier, more stylish, part of the "in crowd". This approach makes me feel bad if I don't want to one plain black tote to "do me out". There is also a fetishism of clothing in this approach that makes me nervous - purses and shoes and the like have become things of worship with their own spotlights in our closets.
The clothes are very plain, like Everlane's. I have to say that is interesting to me that they want us to "invest" in their pieces. I'm not going to lie - an investment piece to me is something that I would have to save a long time to get and which I would pray to God will last: a pair of Laboutins or Charlotte Olympias or Valentinos and if I ever sell a book I just may go there, not a green alpaca sweater. It's all in the definition I guess.
Of course, everyone's idea of an investment piece is different and it depends on family income and age. I don't want rich people telling me what I "ought" to buy any more than I want people who are on retainer from retailers telling me what I "ought" to buy this season.I think if I was going for simple clothes, ethically made and good quality that weren't particularly thrilling, the lower priced Everlane might be more my cup of tea.
But I also am more uncomfortable with fast fashion now and am ignoring (mostly) the constant roll-out of CLOTHES! CLOTHES! CLOTHES! that the big brands are shoving down our throat and making us think we need. I look in my closet and it is very clear I need nothing.
Even the fast fashion criticism around quality can't be applied neatly across the board - remember my Joe Fresh cords from yesterday - washed tons and looking spectacular! I've had very expensive clothes not do so well. Still - would I prefer to buy my cords from a Made in the USA or Canada company, if they were as stylish and were not prohibitively expensive? Yes.
So where is the middle ground? Well here I actually like Jennifer L. Scott's concept of the Ten Item Wardrobe (which isn't ten items at all, just ten core items) - I realized today that I have basically been wearing ten core items all fall and winter, 3 or 4 pairs of pants, a couple of tops, a blazer and then just changing out the shoes or the Ts or the sweater. In her last post on The Daily Connoisseur, she discusses how the core of this season's core pieces were all from mid-range places. Remember - I work for home - it's easier for me.
What I like about Jennifer's approach is that it doesn't assume that a) everyone has the money to purchase more expensive items or b) everyone would want to only buy one new item a season if they could only afford one high cost item.
While that may be a European thing (and frankly I think that is a bit of a myth too) it is not a North American thing and may require moving towards that approach slowly, especially as one's style is evolving. My 22 year old daughter might pay more for a purse, but not for clothing - she doesn't even know what career she's moving into.
Jennifer realizes that many (most) people won't/can't buy the DVF dress and doesn't make you feel badly if you buy the jersey knockoff at Loft or Banana Republic.
Even the "love what you have" concept is a difficult thing, I think, for people who really love clothes, because some people really love everything about clothes and if you told them "only buy what you love" it would be open season for them!
And it also doesn't recognize the inherently human trait of wanting something new now and then, especially when you see someone you know with something new.
One thing I did really like on the Cuyana website is their Lean Closet feature, a series of posts to help us move to a less is more approach gradually.
The fatigue of consumerism is a real thing and I think businesses like Cuyana and blogs like Jennifer's are stepping in to address that.
And the amount of clothes I have given away or sold on consignment is embarrassing and makes me feel silly for buying so much in the first place and a little stupid for getting so caught up in clothes.
I would be remiss if I didn't applaud a business that has been started by two smart young women and wish them well. But I'm still not buying Alpaca.
I am sorry this has been a rambly post! I am thinking about all of this stuff these days and I would love to know if anyone else has been thinking differently about their clothing and this whole less is more approach. Do you think it is an effective marketing strategy?
xoxo wendy

Miss Marple
Who sends a written death threat? Surely not someone who truly intends
to kill the recepient. It's common sense not to warn them.
Miss Marple from Agatha Christie's Marple: At Bertram's Hotel
| Dress: Made by my mum | Blouse: H&M | Spencer: Made by my grandma | Neck scarf: Old one from my mum | Long Scarf: Made by my mum | Jacket: Charity Shop | Tights: Primark | Shoes: H&M | Hat: Vintage | Magnifying glass: From my grandpa | Walking stick: Robbed from an old lady. jk. From my aunt | Lipstick: Chanel Rouge Coco #117 Magnolia |
She's the match of every murderer she meets. She's a brainchild of Agatha Christie and best buddies with Poirot (or at least I imagine them together sipping some tea and being questionably vague to one another every odd night). You've guessed it! None other than Miss Marple herself is here to join your party tonight. Or any night. You know what they say: a Marple a day keeps the doctor away. Or at least the murderer. Well, the murderer will get caught in the end, if that's a soothing thought for your stiff dead body. Fun fact: Angela Lansbury, best known for her role as Jessica B. Fletcher in Murder, She Wrote, has also once taken on the role of Miss Marple. It takes one to know one, I guess.
You don't have to spray paint yourself green, roll around in glitter or glue some fake fangs onto your teeth to look presentable for a costume party. Or just a lazy Sunday morning (I don't judge either way). Just take a deep breathe and jump into the wild ocean that's called your wardrobe. You'll find the most amazing things! Maybe perhaps even some pieces that will transform you into one of the greatest sleuths of all time...
Keywords for Miss Marple's wardrobe is the use of neutral colours, classic fabrics (think for instance tweed, wool, linen etc.) and naturally the use of a distinctive nose for annoying constables and solving crimes. Don't mind me sitting in the corner knitting, drinking tea and mumbling away, I'm just solving a most difficult murder full of intrigues and plot twists as a way of keeping myself occupied. What else is an old lady like me supposed to do?
So grab yourself a magnifying glass, put on your inquisitive deductive reasoning detective-face and go solve some murders! Or, ya know, you could always just grab yourself an Agatha Christie novel. Or, just sit in the corner knitting. Thinking about, well, puppies and kittens and all kinds of loveliness. Or Murder. Whatever you please...

Wanna Buy England's Most Haunted House?
I have previously reviewed legal concerns and business practices regarding the sale of "haunted" property, and other sorts of ways in which paranormal beliefs and folklore intersect with the law.
While most of the concerns have been that a haunted reputation would damage property values, I've wondered if and when a haunting would be a plus. I need not wait anymore. In the current depressed real estate market, a house being "England's Most Haunted" is being used as a selling point. Digital Journal has the details on Wymering House, including television video of ghost hunting in the house, link to the Daily Mail story, and the actual listing itself.
It's an interesting paradox. On the one hand, stories attached to objects and structures should add extra cultural value. We've seen this with the fad a few years ago of selling "haunted" paintings and other objects on Ebay, where virtually the entire value was based on the purported history and supernatural aspects of the object. Museums are no strangers to notorious objects having an added cachet. As Phantom Limb from The Venture Brothers reminds us, the Mona Lisa is famous because it was stolen.
Never mind consumer capitalism. Historical and supernatural history is at the heart of prestige objects globally. Bronislaw Malinowski illustrated this in his classic groundbreaking ethnography Argonauts of the Western Pacific (read it at archive.org). He describes the kula exchange of the Trobriand Islanders of the early 20th century, in which inter-island trade is organized through the exchange of shell jewelry. But these aren't just random items, they have individual names and legends, that is part of what makes them valuable.
At the same time, in regards to haunted houses, the stories of ghostly doings may have little positive, and great negative effect on saleability. Non-believers in such phenomena might find the stories charming, but will likely not be that effected by them (enough to pay extra). Believers, on the other hand, may not want anything to do with a house full of tormented and tormenting spirits.


text: Kennedy, director of the National Park Service, does better in exposing the prejudices of whites who came across the monuments of prehistoric America than in elucidating the mysteries embodied in these New World Stonehenges. An estimated 30 million Native Americans died of European or African diseases during the century following the conquistadors' appearance in the Western Hemisphere. They left behind significant traces of sophisticated cities, roads, and burial grounds in Memphis, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, and elsewhere in the Ohio and Mississippi river valleys. Later explorers and soldiers beheld these relics -- which included bits of antiquities, earthen mounds, and various geometrical shapes carved into the landscape -- with wonder, confusion, and obtuseness. Kennedy (Rediscovering America, 1990, etc.) perceptively analyzes how attempts to preserve and interpret Native American arts and architecture often foundered on the ingrained prejudices of even supposedly enlightened whites. (Thomas Jefferson, for example, was slow to shed his belief that Indians were incapable of architectural achievement.) Jeffersonians and Jacksonians found it easier to deprive Native Americans of land if they could deny that the Indians had a culture worth saving. They failed to follow the lead of such respectful figures as Jefferson's Treasury secretary, Albert Gallatin, described by Kennedy as ""the first American statesman to employ the evidence of ancient American architecture to justify exertions to redeem the Republic from racial prejudice."" The American mania for development, combined with dismissive scholarship that credited Indian achievements to fair-skinned ""Welshmen"" who supposedly discovered North America in the Middle Ages, led to a cavalier attitude toward Native American artifacts. By 1948, 90% of the earthen Indian architecture noted in a Smithsonian report 100 years earlier had been lost. Best read as an exploration of colliding cultures rather than an examination of the riddles left behind by Native American builders.

The nerd in me completely loves going on a tour of Fort Gibraltar. The Fort is a replica of a fur trading post circa 1810 with all of the buildings inside manned by people in period costumes and working. The black smith is plying his trade, the store has products on display, there are people 'relaxing' in the workers quarters. All you have to do is ask questions and the 'players' are more that eager to explain things to you.
The man on the right is 'in charge' of the Fort and the man on his right is his body guard.
I know what you are thinking, an outdoor festival in winter? Crazy! You really do have to dress for the weather. Long undies are essential, as is proper layering of clothes. There are plenty of opportunities to warm up along the way. There are fire pits set up all over the place to stop, listen to some tales and warm your tootsies. Tents are also warm places stop and warm up.
|The snow bar is always popular....no need to chill your beer!
The Boy and Hubby check out some furs inside the general store
A mill stone to make flour
This is a brick of tea!! They would grate it on the metal micro plane type of thing and then steep their tea!
The tents house entertainment such as live bands, the souvenir tent, the food tent (woo hoo), and of course the beer tent. Along with all the fun at Voyageur park, there are several venues around town that house live bands and other fun events such as fiddling contests and the voyageur games. These venues are called trading posts and do add to the fun.
|The port-a-pottie for the very brave!
It has been a few years since we braved the Festival. It is so difficult to get everything in that you really do have to plan ahead and pick and choose what you would like to do. We went on Monday, which happened to be Louis Riel day, which is a long weekend Monday so it was ridiculously busy and we didn't even get near a couple of things we wanted, such as the 'Sugar Shack', which is the food tent....Luckily, we bought the Festival pass so we can go back anytime and check things out. It really is best to go a couple of times during the week.
Our local paper has some survival guide tips here.
You can check out the official Festival du Voyageur website here.
I am almost too busy to cook during Festival! I will try to keep up though! We are going back to see some of the things we missed on Monday.
Until next time, stay warm and eat well!!
I couldn't resist adding some more photos....
Here I am waving to the boys who are walking on the Fort wall. I end up wandering to the fire pit to warm up a bit!

Cleopatra in Space by Mike Maihack
Cleopatra would rather play with slingshots and explore ruins than study in ancient Egypt but her antics have gotten her into trouble more than once. This time around Cleo's trouble might not even be her fault: she's zapped millennia into the future where she is informed (by space cats) that she is prophesied to free the universe from the conquering Xaius Octavian. But until the right moment, and Cleo gets more information, it's back to school for her with more homework, new friends, and a new ray gun.
Right off the bat this iteration of Cleopatra in Space takes a more conventional storytelling approach by starting the story just before Cleo is pulled through space and time to become a gun slinging student and hopeful messiah. The story is much more focused so far on this looming prophecy and I do miss some of the more episodic antics from the webcomic, it was a little more fun to watch Cleo scamper around rather than having multiple scenes where "Cleo is bad at school and doesn't like school and only likes shooting things" be the main focus.
There's also a bit of a difference in the pacing of these two volumes. The first book reminds me a little of the "three episode test" in anime where you give a new show three episodes to see if you want to continue for the full run (unless the show disgusts you immediately that is). The first volume is a nice, solid introduction to the series and you get a good feel for what direction the plot is going to go in, just how many love triangles there are going to be in the story, and how Cleo herself is handling everything. The second volume doesn't fair as well, it too feels like about three episodes of an anime but like, three episodes in a longer arc. Sure we meet a new character (and see how that will probably make the plot a bit more complicated), Cleo starts to doubt some of the things she's heard, and the love triangles get even more convoluted, but the story doesn't really end. It doesn't wrap up a mini-conflict or anything like that, instead it feels like the end of this volume was dictated more by the number of pages in the book than do to careful planning. At this point I'm tempted to say that the story might read better if I wait until all of the volumes are released and then read them, by reading at my own pace I can fix the pacing problems at least a little bit that way.
And I do want to read more of the story, it is rather cute and the mere idea of an Egypt-inspired technological future isn't one I see very often at all. I don't know how many volumes the series is planned to be (I don't believe the third volume is the final one) so it may be a long time before I have a chance to do so.

Zoom enhance tool for HD mobile device streaming coming from KDDI
In this modern world of wanting high resolution video on smaller and smaller screens, sometimes there's some give and take involved when it comes to download speeds and how much of the video you can see. KDDI is trying to take some of the pain away with their zoom and enhance platform for video.
Since it's hard to make out some things on smaller screens, the trick that KDDI is giving you is the ability to zoom in on the part of the video that's important and that you want to see. Since many cameras usually stay centered on the action in things like ballgames, you can cut out the clutter and even save yourself from having to download that section of the video. The picture fidelity loss is supposed to be minimal, so this may be an interesting idea for video watching on items like smartphones and tablets.

Ozark: Season 1 (2017)
Critic Consensus: Ozark hasn't yet reached the same level as the classic crime dramas to which it will inevitably be compared, but its satisfyingly complex plot - and a gripping performance from Jason Bateman - suggest greater potential.

Critic Reviews for Ozark: Season 1
All Critics (64) | Top Critics (22) | Fresh (44) | Rotten (20)
Dubuque quickly gives us a strong ensemble of city folk and hicks, innocents and thugs. The overall vibe of the show is suspenseful, but there are small pockets of comedy usually found in the behavior of the locals.
Netflix has yet another unique player in its assembly line of original series.
Bateman, better known for comedies such as Arrested Development, unleashes a frank blue stare that could mean anything from menace to guile to idiocy. His lack of readability keeps things fresh and unpredictable as nasty shocks unfold.
Ozark has the potential to be many interesting things, and the fact that it commits to none of them feels like overextension.
Bateman strikes the right mixture of guilt, terror and glib intelligence to make us reluctantly root for him.

Technic Electric Palette - Review, Photos, Swatches
So today I went bargain hunting. I got this palette from a really random shop in St John's Precinct called "Facial Attractions". What a bizarre name! I really only picked this up for three reasons: 1) the off-chance of more neon pink eyeshadow in my life 2) it was £1.99 3) I need to practice buying makeup I can actually afford. Like I said, I only have a a phone camera, so I just have to make do picture-wise, but it really is an incredible palette for the price! In case you can't tell from the price of the palette and the name of the shop, it was WELL dodgy. However they had some brilliant little finds, such as W7's Salt n Pepper nail polish (post coming soon!) and some Sally Hansen Insta-Dri polishes that I've never seen in the UK before.
It's called the Electric Eyes Palette, which seems to be made by EITHER "Technic" or "Badgequo", I can't really tell from the back of the package! There was a big old mess on this palette when I opened it, which is basically because the shadows are so so soft. They are really soft, smooth and buttery, almost like a cream shadow. They really do have a beautiful texture. I've only had a little swatch with them but they feel absolutely gorgeous. The top row of the palette has a soft champagne gold shimmer, a rose pink shimmer, a neon pink matte, a pinky-copper shimmer, a grass green shimmer and a sky blue shimmer. You can see from my pictures that the pigmentation on the last three shadows isn't brilliant. The grass green is so exciting in the pan, (not colour accurate in my pic - sorry!) but swatches really disappointingly. The same happens with the really vibrant blue.
However, the first three shades - the golds and the neon pink - are absolutely beautiful. The lovely texture comes into its own combined with a lot of shimmer and is really even to apply. The matte pink is a little patchier to apply but blends easily and I can imagine used with a brush over primer it would be gorgeous! The picture on the left is the first row. The picture on the right is the second row. You can see there are a couple of very similar shades in this palette - oddly enough they are very different in the pan but on the skin seem very similar. In the pan, the first shade on the bottom row seems very bright orange but swatches a muted orange with gold. Still very pretty though - if a little bit sheer. The second shade is a lovely bronze, and probably a dupe for Urban Decay Half Baked! The third shade is a definite dupe for MAC Cranberry, a very nice reddish shade with lots of shimmer. Love it.
These next couple of shades essentially make this palette worth the absolute PENNIES I paid for it. It makes it cheap at twice the price. Now, I know it looks horrendous on this picture. It's actually a really pretty teal shimmer that leans blue. The last two are beautiful: a gorgeous blue indigo and a reddish-purple. The buttery-softness of these shades bring out a beautiful sheen. I did a little googling and found the palette on Amazon for £3.49
. Nearly twice as much as I spent on it, but still pretty cheap! I'd definitely recommend giving this a go if you like shimmers and brights as much as I do :)

Dockett going to Pro BowlPosted by on January 22, 2011 – 2:36 pm
Defensive tackle Darnell Dockett, who was named a Pro Bowl alternate last month, is headed to the game. He'll replace Minnesota's Kevin Williams (who had already replaced Detroit's Ndamukong Suh) and join teammate Adrian Wilson in Hawaii (plus, if the Packers beat the Bears in the NFC Championship, Larry Fitzgerald is expected to replace Green Bay's Greg Jennings for the Pro Bowl, since Jennings will obviously have other things to do next week.
This is Dockett's third Pro Bowl.

Cult Z-Movie auteur David "Rock" Nelson talks about his films and the 2010 documentary on himself, DAVID "ROCK" NELSON: ED WOOD OF THE 21ST CENTURY.
David "Rock" Nelson gets no respect. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of really bad movies. He's been compared to Ed Wood. His films have even been called, "Unwatchable Crap". Since '91, The Rock has made over twenty-five short films and ten features. All homemade do-it-yourself tributes to the famous monster films of the 50's and 60's. Nelson's films feature religious and morality undertones, cameos by genre film celebrities such as Roger Corman, Forrest J. Ackerman and Conrad Brooks, even meta commentary over the film's dialogue and action by The Rock himself.
David "Rock" Nelson gets no respect. He's the Rodney Dangerfield of really bad movies. He's been compared to Ed Wood. His films have even been called, "Unwatchable Crap". Since '91, The Rock has made over twenty-five short films and ten features. All homemade do-it-yourself tributes to the famous monster films of the 50's and 60's. Nelson's films feature religious and morality undertones, cameos by genre film celebrities such as Roger Corman, Forrest J. Ackerman and Conrad Brooks, even meta commentary over the film's dialogue and action by The Rock himself.
The Rock's films have all been shot on second hand camcorders made in the 80's, edited VCR to VCR, and his monsterpieces are rounded it via a Radio Shack video title machine, [not quite a Kyron] that is older than anyone reading this. To appreciate the films of David "Rock" Nelson is to truly understand and admire the man behind the camera. The Rock is hyper kinetic, consider a speed freaked 1980's Robin Williams and the Tasmanian Devil all in one being. Yet, The Rock's films are auteur loveable. They are each personal and epic. Each is a tribute to a genre that Nelson has been obsessed with since he was a young child growing up in the Chicagoland area. The cinema of David "Rock" Nelson was created with tender loving care deep in the depths of his parents basement.
Born and raised in the suburbs of Chicago, Nelson has an interesting story that everyone should know. He was a one time serviceman, spending time in the Marines. He was an up and coming boxer as a young adult becoming a three time Gold Glove fighter in the Chicago area.
As a child, he was obsessed with monster films. Yet, The Rock as a teenager moved away to go to a bible college to become a preacher. It wasn't until 1984, when he attended a midnight screening of James Cameron's THE TERMINATOR that he decided to leave bible school and follow his childhood dream of making monster movies. He's been doing just that ever since. Now in his mid 50's, David "Rock" Nelson continues to live in his parent's basement in suburban Chicago. He often stays up all night watching monster movies on Chicago television. He loves Java aka coffee and staying in shape. He's a natural bodybuilder as well.
Along with selling his catalog of films at horror conventions like Monster Bash in Pennsylvania, Nelson makes ends meet by appearing as a extra in various Hollywood productions that make their way to Chicago. Since 1991, Nelson has appeared in over thirty films as a extra. He's been in everything from, GROUNDHOG DAY (1993), FOLKS (1992), THE BABE (1992), GLADIATOR (1992), and LET'S GO TO PRISON (2006) to date.
To see a film written and directed by David "Rock" Nelson is a truly profound and defying cinema experience. The Rock doesn't make bad films, just perversely misunderstood ones. Nelson plays many of the characters himself. When the camera is recording, a first take on a Rock production is the only takes needed. Nelson doesn't sweat the small stuff - like plot, flubbed dialogue, continuity and editing. In his own method, The Rock has redefined cinema and how we understand it as a medium. His films often go into the two-and-a-half to four hour duration each. His films are very original, fun, passionate, entertaining and energetic, however difficult they actually are to many an audience.
Given all the criticism Nelson has received over the years in regards to his work, there is something to be admired in regards to his passion, effort, and persistence. Even though he has been told to "throw his films into a fireplace" a hundred times, The Rock continues on creating his mad-cap brand of crazy home made monster movie. As Norman Mailer would say," That's a signification of a great artist". 2010 saw the release of a documentary introducing viewers into the 100 MPH vortex of weird that Nelson lives in. DAVID "ROCK" NELSON: ED WOOD OF THE 21ST CENTURY was released by November Fire Recordings. The documentary is a wonderful and very human look into the life of a very original film artist that continues to create work on his own terms, even if no-one wants to watch it. ED OF THE 21ST CENTURY is a wonderful introduction to the insanity that is David "Rock" Nelson. It's highly recommended.
Setting up this interview, Nelson makes it clear that he'd like me to showcase a list of his favorite films. He's a mega fan of the following films: NIGHT OF THE GHOULS (1959), BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN (1935), THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL (1951), ABBOTT & COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948), SON OF FRANKENSTEIN (1939), IT CONQUERED THE WORLD (1956), THE DEVIL BAT (1940), THE MONSTER OF PIEDRAS BLANCAS (1959), FRANKENSTEIN'S DAUGHTER (1958), ZONTAR: THE THING FROM VENUS (1966), RETURN OF THE VAMPIRE (1944), TEENAGE ZOMBIES (1961), THE GIANT GILA MONSTER (1959) , PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE (1959), THE WEREWOLF (1956), FRANKENSTEIN (1931). He's also a big fan of all the sea creature films from the 50's and his favorite director is, Roger Corman. What follows below is a heavily edited 2 hour conversation with Nelson.
TV STORE ONLINE: How many cups of coffee do you drink each day?
NELSON: I probably have around three big cups in the morning. And then some more later. I really don't count them. I'll drink as much as I want though.
TV STORE ONLINE: What were you like as a young kid? Did you have a lot of friends? Did you get picked on at all?
NELSON: Yep, I got picked on because I was so skinny. I got into bodybuilding because I wanted to be like Joe Weider, and Dave Draper. I was a little mischievous as a kid too. I used to make fun of people sometimes. I used to egg houses, toilet paper trees. We had what we call a "zitcher". A zitcher is a old wire you take from an old appliance, and you strip back the outside. So when I was kid we'd go around and stick it in the outside sockets on people's house, and it would make their house lights go out...I was bad kid. When I was 8, I started a monster club. I had a friend named Don Stillwell, and his dad had a camera, and he put me in my first monster movie. I was a zombie coming out of the ground with a monster mask on, that my mom bought for me back in 1954 at a Walgreens. Every Saturday, all of us would watch Creature Feature and we'd drink soda and eat cupcakes together staying up all night.
TV STORE ONLINE: Do you think you have the same personality as a kid, that you do now?
NELSON: Yeah I think so. Even now I'll be watching a movie by myself, and I'll start talking to myself or to the screen.
TV STORE ONLINE: Growing up in the suburbs of Chicago...What is your take on the whole John Wayne Gacy thing?
NELSON: He only lived a few miles from where I grew up actually. The very first bar I ever went to when I got old enough was a bar he used to frequent. I made a movie about him... FRANKENSTEIN MEETS JOHN WAYNE PAKEY.
TV STORE ONLINE: Back when you retired from boxing, what was your final boxing record?
NELSON: 5 wins, 19 losses and 1 draw.
TV STORE ONLINE: As a kid, how did you shift your interest from monster movies, to religion and bodybuilding and then back to monster movies?
NELSON: I've went back and forth a lot. When I was around age 8 I started to get interested in bodybuilding. Cause I used to get picked on by this kid. He called me 'Chesty Popcorn." And I didn't like that. So I would often shift my interests from monster movies to bodybuilding, and even as I kid I was a church goer. My brothers all had long hair, and my mom always made me get my hair buzzed. I think from early on, my mom thought I needed special attention. I wanted to look like Joe Pepitone...lol...
TV STORE ONLINE: How did you first appearance on The Daily Show (1996-current) happen? Did you know they were making fun of you?
NELSON: I was really excited when The Daily Show was at my house. A. Whitney Brown was forcing me to talk slow. I was so excited, but I couldn't show it. I felt like I was being controlled during that interview, even though it was cool that they were interviewing me. At the time, I didn't realize that they were there to make fun of me. In fact, I didn't even see that when it aired because I was just so happy to be on television. I really don't care. It was a cool experience. There was a bunch of stuff they shot that they didn't even use and that bothered me, because I really wanted a copy of that stuff they shot of me afterward.
TV STORE ONLINE: What do you think of the documentary ED WOOD OF THE 21ST CENTURY?
NELSON: I liked it, but I thought it could've been better. I didn't like how they made fun of me, with what happened with that gay guy. I didn't go looking to pick up that gay guy. But they made fun of me with all those titles on the screen. 530am. BEEP. High crime area. BEEP. I didn't go out looking for those guys. I was just driving around. And they make me look like I was out looking for them in the movie. I was trapped in that situation. I didn't wanna give those guys a ride. They looked like trouble. To me. I just wanted to get outta there. I was trying to get outta there. I was trying to go to my twenty-four hour snack shop, and read my monster magazines.
One thing about the documentary that I really appreciate is how they put in there about religion and the stuff about my brother that we lost. I really appreciate that being in there. People don't like some people talking about religion, but it's really important to me.
TV STORE ONLINE: Do you wanna clear the record here in this interview about the gay guy incident as it appears in the documentary?
NELSON: Yes. I am not gay. I never set out for that to happen. He just approached me and asked me if I wanted him to suck my thing for ten bucks. I told him I only liked girls to do that, and he pulled a gun on me. He probably wasn't even gay. I didn't pick that guy up on purpose. I almost felt like I was being trapped and kidnapped. I figured if I didn't help them, they would hurt me. I was actually really scared.
TV STORE ONLINE: Do you think you're over examining the situation? Do you think you come off kind of crazy in the scene in the documentary?
NELSON: NO, I am not crazy. It was a bad situation. I didn't wanna give those guys a ride. They made me. I felt trapped. I didn't do it cause I was looking for a gay guy. I'm not gay. I figured I was in danger. So that's why I did it, they forced me. After it was over I prayed to God, that those guys get fried in hell. I wanted them dead. I'd wake up in the morning and pray, that I wished those guys were dead. To pull a gun on me. I had a Phillips screwdriver in my glove box that night, and I wanted to grab it, and stab him in his head. I wanted him to die. I mean, he robbed me. I gave him my money. So I wished for something bad to happen to them. But now, I've forgiven them. I pray for them that Jesus Christ will save their souls.
TV STORE ONLINE: OK.. So with that being said... Why were you out in a high crime area in Chicago at 530am in the morning?
NELSON: I was just driving around and they attacked me...
TV STORE ONLINE: What would you do if someone from Hollywood said, "David... Here's a bunch of money, here's a real crew, go make a big movie?" What kind of movie would you make?
NELSON: Easy. I would make a sea monster movie out in Hollywood. But I'm not gonna tell you what it would be about. I would film it in Black & White. And I'd want it to be shown in theaters. And I'd want the right to have my friends in the movie. There is no need to have an audition. If you think a person is right for the part, you don't need to audition them. That's how I'd do it. I'll never tell anyone this idea. I've told people some of my other ideas, and they've stolen them.

How to get in contact with your TD
Your TD is there to represent you - don't be afraid to ask them for help
This is an opinion of a young person and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of SpunOut.ie. It is one person's experience and may be different for you. If you'd like to write something for SpunOut.ie please contact email@example.com.
*This article has been written by a parliamentary assistant currently working in Dail Eireann*
We see them on the TV, hear them on the radio and read about them in the paper. But what do politicians actually do? And, more importantly, how do you get them to help you out?
If you're concerned about an ongoing issue, be it national or local, or if you have a personal problem that you need help with, such as SUSI grants, a social welfare payment or any issue at all, really, this is how you can contact your TD:
Make sure you contact the appropriate person
Find out who your local TD or councillor is and contact them first. You can get that information on the Oireachtas website or Who is my TD?. If it is a particular issue that has a particular area of responsibility, for example: if you wish to discuss an issue surrounding the provision of medical cards for people with a certain illness, then you will also want to speak to the representatives who are the Health Spokespersons for their party. You can get this information on the individual parties' websites.
Make sure they know you are their constituent
When you email, write or call your representative make sure to advise them of your address and that you are one of their constituents. This way it makes it easier for them to contact you. You wouldn't believe the amount of correspondence that comes in with no contact information and this means we have no way of making contact!
Be polite
If you are contacting a TD, be polite and give all the necessary information. If you are rude, more than likely, you will not get a response.
Avoid mass mailing services
DO NOT use mass mailing services to contact your TD. Most of these emails get picked up as spam and staff will not look at them. You can find individual email addresses for politicians on the Oireachtas site, but in general emails are firstname.lastname@example.com
If they don't respond within 2 weeks, call them
TDs and their staff are only human and can be very busy people. Give them a week or two to get back in touch with you. If you are waiting longer than this, make sure to give them a phone call to check in. If they are waiting on a reply for you, for example from a Parliamentary Question, this can take a number of weeks.
Go to meet them
CLINIC TIMES! Ask to meet your local TD or ask for their clinic times. These are usually held by most TDs or their staff and are open times where you can walk in a meet with them about your issue. Check your representative's website or Facebook page for details of their clinic times. If you are going into a clinic, make sure that you bring all of the necessary documents with you, such as reference numbers, PPS numbers and any letters or documents concerning the issue.
Register to vote!
Finally, make sure you are registered to vote! All TD offices have access to the Live Register. Sometimes, if you are not registered, representatives may not work as hard for you, as you have no impact on their vote. If your local TD doesn't help you out, make sure that you are registered so you can use your vote to get someone in there who will! Find out how to register to vote here.

Dan Black – Live at the Mercury Lounge
Photos by G.
Cuteness alert! Â British artist Dan Black played for the second time in New York City on February 18, 2010 at the Mercury Lounge in the Lower East Side. Â I read a review that called him the "male LaRoux," so naturally, I was excited to see if Dan Black would deliver. Â The answer – YES! Â Not only is Dan Black a total cutie pie, but his music is electronic and soulful. Â He raps and he also wears interesting outfits, which he told the sold-out crowd "is fashion." Â I'll let you decide when you see a picture of his entire outfit after the jump. Â Though his debut album "((UN))" was only released in the United States earlier this week, that didn't stop the crowd from singing along to every word of every song. It was pretty impressive. Â His biggest hit to date, "Symphonies," borrows the music of Rhianna's smash "Umbrella," and the original version (which you can see on 'the you tube' as Dan Black calls it), features the lyrics of the Notorious BIGs "Hypnotize." Â He had to change the lyrics for the record as he was sued by Biggie's estate. Â No biggie though for Dan Black as he rocked the crowd, jumped around all over the stage and prepared the world for his impending superstardom.
See more pictures and the set list after the jump.

Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction or PTTD is a dysfunction of the posterior tibialis muscle, resulting in a fallen arch, or flat feet. As the muscle inverts the foot, when it is not working fully, the arch of the foot collapses. This can then cause other conditions and injuries such as plantar fasciitis which makes the foot painful.
Symptoms of posterior tibial tendon dysfunction
One of the main signs of PTTD is a fallen or flattened arch of the foot. The patient may also have a history of injury to the tibialis posterior muscle. Pain in the foot may be a symptom although this is usually associated with a secondary condition, such as a tendinopathy or a muscle or tendon tear in the foot.
What is posterior tibial tendon dysfunction?
There is much confusion over the name of this condition with it being referred to as any of the following:
- Posterior tibial tendon dysfunction (PTTD)
- Posterior tibial tendon syndrome
- Tibialis posterior syndrome
- Posterior tibial insufficiency
- Adult acquired flatfoot
All of these conditions are the same and so we will interchange them in this article.
The tibialis posterior muscle originates from behind the shin bone or tibia and runs into a tendon that passes behind the bony bit on the inside of the ankle called the medial malleolus. The function of tibialis posterior is to plantar flex the ankle or point the foot down and also to invert the foot orturn the sole of the foot inwards.
There is sometimes confusion between this condition and that of tibialis posterior tendinopathy and the terms are often used interchangeably. The true meanings of these conditions are slightly different however. Tibialis posterior tendinopathy is a degenerative, painful injury to the tendon of the tibialis posterior. Posterior tibial syndrome is slightly different and is a dysfunction of the muscle, resulting in a fallen arch, or flat feet.
Because the Tibialis Posterior muscle is responsible for inverting the foot, if it is not working correctly, then this causes the arch of the foot to flatten when we stand, walk or run. The fallen arch or flat feet can then cause further injury problems such as plantar fasciitis.
Treatment of any associated conditions such as tibialis posterior tendinopathy is important. If the injury is painful or acute then rest and application of ice or cold therapy can reduce pain, inflammation and swelling.
Arch support insoles or orthotic insoles may help correct biomechanical problems of the foot. Long term it is important to strengthen the tibialis posterior muscle. This is done in a similar way as strengthening the calf muscles with plantar flexion type exercises but with inversion of the ankle as well. Begin with strengthening exercises using a resistance band and as pain allows and strength improves move onto calf raise type exercises.
A doctor or sports injury professional will treat the associated injuries through sports massage, electrotherapy and prescribe a full tibialis posterior strengthening program.
Exercises for PTTD
The Tibialis Posterior muscle works to both invert and plantarflex the foot ankle. These movements can be recreated using an elastic rehab band for resistance. The resistance band is looped around the mid foot and pulled out to the side as shown. The foot is then moved into inversion by turning the sole inwards and plantarflexion or pointing the toes down at the same time.
Initially aim for 3 sets of 10 repetitions increasing to 3 sets of 20 twice a day. If the exercise then becomes too easy the strength of the resistance band can be increased.

Motor Vehicle, Operating to endanger. Practice, Criminal, Instructions to jury, Assistance of counsel. Necessity.
Evidence at the trial of a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle was sufficient to convict the defendant of that crime, where police testimony that the defendant was driving on the wrong side of the road properly permitted an inference that the defendant was driving in the oncoming lane of traffic. [748]
At the trial of a charge of reckless operation of a motor vehicle, the defendant's counsel was ineffective in failing to request a jury instruction on the defense of necessity, a defense fairly raised by evidence that the risk of harm posed by a gunshot to the defendant's abdomen outweighed the harm posed by his having briefly driven on the wrong side of the road to reach a location where he could obtain assistance. [748-751]
COMPLAINT received and sworn to in the West Roxbury Division of the Boston Municipal Court Department on March 16, 2005.
The case was tried before Kathleen E. Coffey, J.
Brandon L. Campbell for the defendant.
Margaret O. Waymel (Macy Lee, Assistant District Attorney, with her) for the Commonwealth.
CYPHER, J. A District Court jury convicted the defendant of reckless operation of a motor vehicle and acquitted him of carrying a firearm without a license and possession of ammunition without a license. [Note 2] On appeal, the defendant claims that (1) the
Page 746
evidence was insufficient to demonstrate that his operation of the motor vehicle was reckless; and (2) his lawyer was ineffective for failing to request a jury instruction on the defense of necessity.
Facts. The jury could have found the following facts. On March 15, 2005, the defendant offered to give Renaldo Cox a ride to his math class that started at 8:00 P.M. [Note 3] The defendant was driving a red Ford Explorer. The defendant picked up two more friends, Jose Mow and Carlos Moore, and because it was still early, the foursome drove to the Archdale Community Center to see if they could reserve a basketball court to use after the defendant dropped Cox off at his class. The community center is located in the Archdale housing development in the Roslindale area of Boston. They arrived at the community center at about 7:30 P.M. The defendant and Mow, who was sitting directly behind the defendant in the rear passenger seat, got out of the vehicle and went around the corner of the community center. Cox remained in the front passenger seat, and Moore stayed in the rear passenger seat directly behind him.
After about two or three minutes, Cox heard gun shots and saw the defendant and Mow run back to the vehicle. When the defendant opened the door to get in, Cox testified, "a gun landed in my lap" and "I tossed it in the back." Although the defendant had a gunshot wound to the stomach, he got into the driver's seat and tried to drive himself to the hospital. The defendant drove for about thirty seconds on Washington Street in Roslindale and then pulled into the Emporium gasoline station and stopped. He opened the driver's side door and fell out.
Officer Kenneth Reid saw the defendant drive by him on Washington Street between 7:45 P.M. and 8:00 P.M. Reid was working undercover on Washington Street and was in a parked, unmarked Chevrolet Trailblazer when the defendant passed his
Page 747
location. The defendant's vehicle caught his attention because it "was traveling on the wrong side of the street on Washington Street . . . at a high rate of speed and passing cars on the right." When pressed to explain what he meant by the "wrong side of the street," he explained that he meant the "left hand side of the street, and usually you travel on the right hand side." Reid saw the vehicle stop in the gasoline station and the driver "stumble out on to the pavement."
When the defendant fell out of the vehicle, Cox got out and walked to the driver's side to try to help him. At about the same time, Reid and two other officers got out of the Trailblazer, displayed their badges and firearms, and yelled, "Boston police, stop." Cox got into the driver's seat of the Explorer and drove away because he saw two men running toward them with guns drawn and did not know that they were police officers. [Note 4]
The defense called one witness, Mow. Mow testified that when they arrived at the Archdale Community Center, he got out of the Explorer and went alone to the gym. Mow had made arrangements to meet a friend there, but when he could not find him, he turned around and went back to the Explorer. Mow was nervous and did not feel safe without his friend because neither he, nor anyone with whom he had arrived, lived in the Archdale housing development or knew anyone who did. As he started to walk back to the Explorer, there was a "commotion outside, like there was all kind of people around" and he saw the defendant walking toward him "to make sure that everything was all right with [him]." As they walked together to the Explorer, "the shooting started to happen, and [the defendant] accidentally got hit."
According to Mow, "the two dudes that were shooting they ran off in the same direction towards us, towards the [Explorer]." When Mow and the defendant got to the Explorer, Moore was outside smoking a cigarette, and Cox was still inside. The defendant got into the driver's seat, and Mow got into the backseat. As the defendant drove the car, he kept repeating, "I am shot, I got to
Page 748
get to the hospital." Mow did not have a driver's license, nor did he know how to drive. Mow did not notice anything unusual about the defendant's condition while he was driving.
1. Sufficiency of the evidence. The defendant argues that the police testimony that he was driving on the "wrong" side of the road "cannot substitute for hard evidence that [the defendant] violated traffic laws or was driving in a hazardous manner." The testimony properly permits an inference that he was driving in the oncoming lane of traffic. Such conduct is sufficient to sustain his conviction for reckless driving. See Commonwealth v. Horsfall, 213 Mass. 232, 235 (1913); Commonwealth v. Constantino, 443 Mass. 521, 526-527 (2005).
2. Necessity defense. The defendant argues that his trial counsel was ineffective for failing to request a necessity instruction on the basis that "he was fleeing mortal danger and attempting to reach the hospital for treatment of a life threatening injury." "The occasions when a court can resolve an ineffective assistance claim on direct appeal are exceptional, and our case law strongly disfavors raising ineffective assistance claims on direct appeal." Commonwealth v. Zinser, 446 Mass. 807, 809 n.2 (2006). The claim may nevertheless be resolved on direct appeal when "the factual basis of the [ineffective assistance] claim appears indisputably on the trial record." Commonwealth v. Diaz, 448 Mass. 286, 289 (2007), quoting from Commonwealth v. Zinser, 446 Mass. at 811.
The defense of necessity in the common law provides that "a crime committed under the pressure of imminent danger may be excused if the harm sought to be avoided far exceeds the harm resulting from the crime committed." Commonwealth v. Schuchardt, 408 Mass. 347, 349 (1990). [Note 5], [Note 6] The defense is limited to "the following circumstances: (1) the defendant is faced with a
Page 749
clear and imminent danger, not one which is debatable or speculative; (2) the defendant can reasonably expect that his [or her] action will be effective as the direct cause of abating the danger; [and] (3) there is [no] legal alternative which will be effective in abating the danger." [Note 7] Commonwealth v. Hood, 389 Mass. 581, 591 (1983), quoting from Commonwealth v. Brugmann, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 373, 379 (1982). Only where "there is evidence that would warrant a reasonable doubt whether [the defendant's actions were] justified as a choice between evils" is the defendant entitled to an instruction. Commonwealth v. Leno, 415 Mass. 835, 839 (1993), quoting from Commonwealth v. Schuchardt, 408 Mass. at 349. "If the question is properly raised, the Commonwealth then has the burden to prove the absence of justification beyond a reasonable doubt." Commonwealth v. Brugmann, 13 Mass. App. Ct. at 379.
Here, there is little dispute that the evidence was sufficient to establish the first requirement, that the defendant faced imminent danger as he fled from the gunman who shot him in the abdomen. The second element requires proof that the defendant reasonably expects that his action will be effective as the direct cause of abating the danger. Where the evidence shows that the defendant drove away quickly to obtain medical help, it is readily inferable that his actions abated the immediate risk of being shot again while simultaneously seeking medical help for his wound.
Third, the evidence must suggest that there was no available legal alternative. The evidence shows that the defendant drove about one-quarter mile on Washington Street, for a period of about thirty seconds, and that at some point in this short trip, he exceeded the speed limit while in the oncoming lane. There was testimony that the defendant had to pass several cars on his right, but there was no evidence that there were any cars in the oncoming lane of traffic. In these circumstances, we conclude there was sufficient evidence produced to raise a "reasonable doubt whether
Page 750
[the defendant's actions were] justified as a choice between evils." Commonwealth v. Leno, 415 Mass. at 839.
Here, the risk of harm posed by the gunshot wound to defendant's abdomen outweighed the harm posed by his having briefly driven on the wrong side of the road to reach a location where he could obtain assistance. See Tarvestad v. State, 261 Ga. 605, 606 (1991) (necessity defense properly raised where defendant drove without license in order to bring his pregnant wife, who was having early labor pains, to doctor); State v. Cole, 304 S.C. 47, 48-50 (1991) (error for judge to refuse to charge jury on defense of necessity where defendant drove with suspended license in order to get to telephone to call for help for his wife who was six months pregnant and experiencing significant pain). See also Commonwealth v. Weaver, 400 Mass. 612, 615 (1987) (necessity defense appropriate when defendant "seizes a firearm from one who had expressed an immediate intention to use it, and flees [with the weapon] to a place of safe-keeping"); Commonwealth v. Iglesia, 403 Mass. 132, 133-134 (1988) (evidence that defendant wrested gun from assailant and went directly to police station to turn it in was sufficient to raise necessity defense).
We conclude in this case that the defense of necessity was fairly raised by the evidence and that the instruction should have been given. Because we can discern no basis for trial counsel's failure to request the instruction, we conclude that counsel was ineffective, and that "better work might have accomplished something material for the defence." [Note 8] Commonwealth v. Satterfield, 373 Mass. 109, 115 (1977). To the extent the defendant also argues that the judge's failure to instruct the jury, sua sponte, on the defense of necessity created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice, the outcome is unchanged; whether the issue is viewed in terms of counsel's ineffectiveness or whether the judge's failure created a substantial risk of a miscarriage of justice, the standards are essentially the same. See Commonwealth v. Azar, 435 Mass. 675, 685 (2002). See also Commonwealth v. Galvin, 56 Mass. App. Ct. 698, 701 (2002) (judge's failure to instruct on self-defense, sua sponte, even absent request from defense counsel, created substantial
Page 751
risk of miscarriage of justice where there was evidentiary basis for instruction).
Judgment reversed.
Verdict set aside.
[Note 1] We adopt the spelling of the defendant's name as it appears in the criminal complaint.
[Note 2] The complaint on which the defendant was tried also indicated that he was cited civilly for committing a marked lanes violation and a passing violation. At the conclusion of the trial, the judge found the defendant responsible for each infraction and placed the citations on file.
[Note 3] Cox was also charged with illegal possession of ammunition as the result of his participation in the incident. At the time of his testimony in this case, Cox had pleaded guilty and was awaiting sentencing. In exchange for his testimony, the Commonwealth agreed to recommend that the guilty finding be changed to a continuation without a finding and to recommend a lighter sentence.
[Note 4] Cox was stopped shortly thereafter and a search of the Explorer turned up a handgun under the right rear passenger seat. The gun had eight rounds of live ammunition in it. Cox, Mow, and Moore were arrested and taken to the police station.
[Note 5] See Commonwealth v. Pike, 428 Mass. 393, 400 (1998); Commonwealth v. Brugmann, 13 Mass. App. Ct. 373, 379 (1982).
[Note 6] Although some appellate cases have not explicitly weighed the competing harms at issue in assessing whether a defense of necessity has been raised, see Commonwealth v. O'Kane, 53 Mass. App. Ct. 466, 469-470 (2001); Commonwealth v. Ben B., 59 Mass. App. Ct. 919, 919-920 (2003), this principle is clearly a component of the decisional law and is a factor that should be considered in any determination whether the evidence sufficiently raises the defense. See Commonwealth v. Schuchardt, 408 Mass. at 349; Commonwealth v. Hutchins, 410 Mass. 726, 730-731 (1991); Commonwealth v. Pike, 428 Mass. at 400.
[Note 7] A fourth requirement was set forth in Commonwealth v. Brugmann, 13 Mass. App. Ct. at 379, but needs no discussion here: "the Legislature has not acted to preclude the defense by a clear and deliberate choice regarding the values at issue."
[Note 8] The defendant's appellate counsel is not the same as his trial counsel.

Professional sports leagues need to realize that "the line has moved" on what society deems as appropriate and take action, said Richard Parsons, whose time as interim CEO of the Los Angeles Clippers is winding down.
"If you always play everything up to the line, when the line moves you're going to get caught off base sometime," the former Citigroup and Time Warner chairman said Thursday on CNBC's "Squawk Box."
Parsons was appointed by the NBA in May to run the Clippers after owner Donald Sterling was ousted for making racist remarks.

500 Exotic Bounty made me into a better Crucible player
I got over four and half days of game time invested in Destiny. I love this game so much. Really glad there's a service break for a few hours today so I have to stop playing. Just want more content. I'm at level 29 now, almost halfway. What I want to talk to you about today is this one bounty and how it changed things for me…
So, I was playing in the evening and got one of those Exotic bounties. My first reaction when I got an exotic Weapon Bounty requiring me to get 500 points in the Crucible was "fuck off!!!". I already had three other Exotic bounty "tickets" taking up space out of the five slots. When you got those easy Patrol Mission/Collect 200 something etc bounties, you'd rather do those especially since I already got some killer Exotic weapons…
Forcing me to play MP where I'm not very good and requiring 500 points, at least it was not kills, which would be very annoying. It was 500 points that you had to get by killing enemies and if you die, you lose points. Basically, having a positive Kill/Death ratio in every match. That is what was required. Easier said than done.
The first few matches were nothing but despair. I'm just not very good in MP even though I got max prestiges in several Call of Duty's. I was just hating the Bounty, saying this just cannot be done. I gained 20 points, then dropped back to 5. I just could not get going.
Slowly, I grinded away and it just felt so slow. Got the first 100 points and something happened. I realized I have start playing much more carefully, or rather intelligently. I had to change my ways.
The 500 point bounty is the best thing that happened to me in Crucible and probably in multiplayer games.
Since you had to have a positive KD, I had to play smartly. Which means, I stopped running, I stopped going all over the map. I started to watch the radar a lot more closely. When I saw some action on the radar, I followed other players of my team into battle so they'd take the first hits and I could maybe get some kills easier. I also started to simply stay either between the A and B area or vice versa in Control. That's what you tend to do in Team Deathmatch kind of games, trying to dominate an area.
I got up to 300 points and my KD was around 1.5 and 2.0. I dont think I have concentrated on any multiplayer matches as much as I did in these Control matches. I was squeezing the Dualshock 4 so hard 😀 I kept jumping back into the Inventory menu to see how my Bounty score was going. It was so annoying to see it go down after one or two great matches. I was making progress though by really changing my bad multiplayer habits.
When I hit over 400 points, my KD was around 2.5 and I did an amazing 15 kill streak. I know I would do it. It felt so good to play in a controlled, disciplined way. I was doing all the things pro palyers hav etold me to do but I've been too indisciplined. Looking at the radar, trying to anticipate the movement of other player sand just not running into battles, but really picking my fights and shots.
Aim for the head. That's what you always should be doing, but it's so hardwired into me that aim for the body because that's easier to hit. That's just dumb, but now I was forced to really aim for the head to try to make sure I get the kill.
In the end, it only took me like a dozen matches to get the 500 points, maybe even just 10 matches. It was so exciting for such an artifical reason. I thought the Bounty was bullshit at first, but turned out to be one of the best things in a multiplayer game – forcing me to play in a smarter way.

By Glenn Ruffenach
Perhaps the notion of an early retirement isn't dead, after all.
A report finds that 21% of surveyed workers say they expect to retire before age 65. The study, from the Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies, which my colleague Catey Hill mentioned yesterday, comes at a time when a fragile economy, coupled with equally fragile nest eggs, has most people delaying plans to leave the office.
If there's a common characteristic among those individuals who expect to get a jump on retirement, it's "highly proactive savings behaviors," says Catherine Collinson, the center's president. "Despite the down economy, most future early retirees have found a way to save the same or more since the recession began."
The report – titled, "A Source of Inspiration: Future Early Retirees" – begins by noting that the approximately one in five workers who expect to retire early are "not necessarily born out of privilege or ultra-affluence." Rather, they appear to be remarkable for being unremarkable: only about half (52%) have a college degree, about half (49%) are over the age of 40, and about half (again, 49%) have an annual household income of less than $100,000.
Of course, an expectation to retire early isn't a guarantee of the same. Even these "future early retirees," the center notes, have room for improvement: 41% "guessed" how much money they might need for retirement; only one in three (34%) say they "know a great deal" or "quite a bit" about the basic principles of retirement investing and asset allocation; and only three in 10 (29%) have a backup plan if they're forced to retire earlier than planned.
Still, their efforts give them a better chance of having a financially successful future, whenever they actually retire. With that in mind, the report urges readers, among other steps, to:
— Calculate your retirement savings needs
— Develop a retirement strategy – and put it on paper
— Educate yourself about retirement investing
— Participate in a retirement plan at work and defer as much of your salary to the plan as possible
— Have a backup plan if you're unable to work before your planned retirement.
