The Sword Identity (2011) Film Short Story :
Quite a long time ago in the Southern Chinese city of Guancheng, there lived four families, every one of them dependable attendants of hand to hand fighting. Any individual who needed to set up another faction, or another type of kung fu, needed to battle his way through the family's entryways. In any case, when Liang Henlu asks for an opposition, he is dismissed and driven away, his bizarre new weapon mixed up for a Japanese sword and in this way taboo by idealist Chinese bosses as an outside battling gadget. Liang is taken for a Japanese privateer and compelled to stow away in a pontoon loaded with wanderer artists. After a progression of battles demonstrate Liang's sword powerful, the Guancheng experts begin to scrutinize their presumptions in regards to the weapon's inceptions. They at long last perceive that it is none other than the acclaimed sword called 'Made in China' (demonstrated on a Japanese weapon), which the observed General Qi utilized as a part of his magnificent annihilation of the Japanese intrusion.

If It Sounds Good, It Is Good! March 2016
An unusual profession, such as conducting, prompts folks you meet to ask you A LOT of questions—which I am always happy to answer. I figure the more people know about what I do, the more they will get out of the orchestral experience and the extraordinary things our musicians create on stage. Early in my career it was often: "You actually DO this...for a LIVING?" or "Your arms must get REALLY tired!" Nowadays, the most frequent question I get is: "Did you ever see that Seinfeld episode...you know, 'The Maestro'!?" For those of you who are not familiar with hit TV series Seinfeld, "The Maestro" (played by Mark Metcalf) was a quirky, egocentric conductor of the "New York Police Orchestra" who was insulted if not addressed reverently as "Maestro." Among other things, he conducted in the air while driving his convertible, spent summers in Tuscany, and lounged in his underwear prior to the concert so as not to wrinkle his pants (and, NO, I don't). Although the character appeared on only two HILARIOUS episodes, he forever sullied the reputation of those who carry a baton. So, to relay a personal message of thanks to Jerry Seinfeld, we have invited co-star Jason Alexander to join the Pops this month.
Nominated for multiple Emmy and Golden Globe Awards for his role as George Costanza on Seinfeld, Jason Alexander is bringing his professional comedy chops to the Music Hall stage. As prolific and popular as his TV and film roles have been, it's his Tony Award-winning theatre career that has proven his song and dance abilities. I'm excited to perform selections from The Music Man, Merrily We Roll Along and other Broadway favorites alongside Jason, as well as some tunes from Billy Joel and a few other surprises.
We kick off the concert with a celebration of the 50th Academy Award Nomination for John Williams. As many of you did, I saw The Force Awakens over the holidays—the score was extraordinary! We'll be performing selections from it for the first time in Cincinnati (the ink will still be wet) along with favorites that the Pops has recorded over the past three decades, including Hook, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. It's truly a joy to pay tribute to one of the greatest composers of our time and great friend of the Pops.

120 Collins Street is a 265-metre (869 ft) skyscraper in Collins Street, Melbourne central business district, Victoria, Australia. It was built from 1989 to 1991 and it comprises 50 levels of office accommodation and four levels of plant.
The building was designed by architectural firm Hassell, in association with Daryl Jackson.[1] Structural engineers were Connell Wagner, and mechanical, electrical and fire services engineers were Lincolne Scott.
120 Collins Street is a postmodern style building, paying homage to New York City's grand Art Deco buildings, such as the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building. This influence can be seen in the building's granite façade, its setbacks and its central mast.[2]
The building is home to a number of high-profile tenants including Bank of America Merrill Lynch, BlackRock, Rothschild, Knight Frank, Qualitas, Standard & Poor's, BlueScope, Urbis, Mitsubishi, Rio Tinto Group, Ord Minnet, System Partners, Citigroup and Korn Ferry.[3]
When completed in August 1991, the building had a roof height of 220 metres (720 ft) with a 45-metre (148 ft) spire, bringing the total height to 265 metres (869 ft).[4] It surpassed the nearby and then-recently completed 101 Collins Street, by 5 metres (16 ft) (however it was still surpassed by the Rialto in roof height at 251 metres (823 ft)). It was the tallest for fourteen years until it was surpassed by the Q1 in 2005. It remained the tallest building in Melbourne until being surpassed by the Eureka Tower in 2006. It is currently the third tallest building in Australia.

Josh Hutcherson Farted in Tom Hanks' Face During 'Polar Express' Filming
Josh Hutcherson is sharing a super embarrassing story involving Tom Hanks!
The 25-year-old Future Man actor told James Corden what happened during his appearance on The Late Late Show on Wednesday (November 22).
The incident took place while Josh and Tom were filming 2004′s Polar Express, marking one of Josh's first big acting gigs.
"I had the most embarrassing moment, I think, of my entire life," Josh said. "I haven't really told anybody until now."
"We're shooting this scene where he's playing the hobo and he's on top of the train, skiing down, and I'm nestled under him, and we're like, 'Whoa, this is crazy,'" Josh continued. "I farted. I farted in the scene, it happened, I did it, and instead of playing it cool, Tom Hanks is like, 'Whoa, whoa, oh my God, this kid, what the heck.'"
'My first big movie and I just farted in his face," Josh added. "It was a rite of passage and looking back on it, it was very funny, but at that moment, I thought my face was gonna just start sweating blood."

Been thinking about Matt 25 a bit. "Just as you not do it to the least of these, you did not do it to me"…
I am reading Gods Politic's by Jim Wallis at the moment. It is a flipping great book., not just for Americans or people into politics at all. But anyway, he discusses Matt 25, with a brilliant story about his pal Mary Glover, who he used to run the food line/soup kitchen with. Before opening the food line each lunchtime she would pray "Lord we know you'll be coming through this line, so lord, help us to treat you well".
Someone wrote a song about Mary Glover:
"I'm a coal black Jesus with a hole in his shoes,
On a D.C street with no more to lose,
Get into line and there you'll stand
And sing "Sweet Mother Mary, put some food in my hand"
I guess its what NZ Poet, J.K Baxter was getting at too with his Maori Jesus.
What's Jesus getting at with this story…. Is it about judgement? Or is it illustrating right priorities here on earth? Or both? Or is it about knowing God i.e- our knowing God leads to right action toward the least of these? (As a friend put it on Saturday night) Or Jesus' location?

or maybe jesus isn't a physical entity but an idea or concept which is found in the simplicity of love and joy - found in those who have the least but embody these simple truths. And maybe we just have to embody these simple qualities to find life.

BHRS editorial – When loss of capture leads to VF detection
Sarah Whittaker-Axon
Chief Cardiac Physiologist, Barts Heart Centre
A 68 year old male received multiple shocks from his device, while an inpatient following a ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation 1 week previously. The cardiac monitor displayed a paced rhythm whilst receiving shocks.
He had a biventricular cardiac resynchronisation device (CRTD) in situ, implanted in 2007 with an indication of impaired left ventricular (LV) function due to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Box change in 2012 was complication-free, although right ventricular (RV) lead replacement was required in 2013 due to failure of a Riata lead. He had also undergone an atrioventricular node (AVN) ablation previously due to rapidly conducting atrial fibrillation (AF) leading a reduction in biventricular pacing.
All device and lead measurements were stable and within acceptable limits post VT ablation (Table 1), with documented underlying rhythm of permanent AF with complete heart block, and ventricular escape rhythm of 30bpm.
RV threshold
0.75V at 0.8ms
LV threshold
1.75V at 0.8ms
RV impedance
LV impedance
R wave sensing
Table 1: Device measurements post VT ablation
Interrogation revealed the following presenting rhythm (Fig 1), with 20 episodes labelled as ventricular fibrillation (VF) in the arrhythmia logbook, some of which received a shock, some of which anti-tachycardia pacing (ATP) during charge was delivered but the shock diverted (Fig 2).
Fig 1: presenting electrogram (EGM) on interrogation. BP=biventricular pace. F=sensed interval in the VF zone.
Fig 2: EGM from one of the 20 stored VF episodes; a VF episode is declared, ATP during charge is delivered (STIM) but the shock diverted due to paced beats causing 'Return to Sinus'.
Closer inspection of the presenting EGM (Fig 3) reveals that every other beat demonstrates true biventricular pacing with appropriate capture (red arrows), whilst the first, third and fifth beats demonstrate loss of capture on the RV lead. Capture occurs at the LV lead, with depolarisation eventually reaching the RV lead approx 170ms later (green arrows). This conduction is delayed enough for the signal to fall outside the ventricular blanking period and to be sensed as a VF event. This loss of biventricular capture is reflected in a different morphology farfield EGM, and would be seen as a broader QRS complex on a surface ECG. The 'F' interval resets the timing clock, therefore the following VV interval is slightly longer than the interval following true biventricular capture.
Fig 3: red arrows indicate true BP, the green arrows demonstrate late depolarisation of the RV due to RV lead failure to capture, which is subsequently sensed.
If this loss of capture occurred on the LV lead instead this would not be sensed as a VF event, as ICDs do not use the LV lead for detection. The way SJM detects arrhythmias leads to these FS intervals being classified as a VF event, and the device charges (with ATP during charge).
When analysing device episodes and understanding why a therapy is delivered it is important to be aware how each of the manufacturers detect a tachycardia. These are summarised below.
Intervals are classified by comparing the current VV interval with an average interval (calculated as a mean of the current interval and previous 3 VV intervals).
· If both intervals fall below the tachycardia detection rate, the beat is classified as 'VS' (venticular sense).
· If both intervals fall within a tachycardia zone the beat is classified as 'F' (VF), or 'T' (VT).
· If the intervals do not agree (e.g. one interval is VF, the other is VS), the beat is not classified and is labelled '-' (see Table 2).
Table 2: Classification of beats in a SJM ICD (Mansour & Khairy, 2008).
Beats classified as 'T' or 'F' are 'binned', i.e. added to a VF or VT bin accordingly. The relevant bin increments with each binned interval, and can only be reset if a 'Return to Sinus' is detected. The binned intervals do not need to be consecutive, and there is no sliding window. 'Return to Sinus' is nominally 5 consecutive sinus (or paced) intervals, but is programmable between 3 and 7. If no 'Return to Sinus' occurs, whichever bin first reaches the programmed number of intervals to detect determines which rhythm is declared.
In the case described above, the VF bin increments with each loss of capture and subsequent FS, leading to VF detection. Although there were some 'BP' intervals during each epiosde, there were not 5 consecutive BP/VS intervals for 'Return to Sinus' to be declared, and thus the VF bin did not reset and allowed the number of intervals to detect to be reached.
The VF zone uses a probabilistic counter, e.g. a programmed detection of 9 out of 12 intervals uses a 12 beat "sliding window" (demonstrated in Fig 4). If 9 or more of 12 intervals in the sliding window is within the VF zone, VF detection is met.
The VT zone uses a consecutive counter, e.g. a programmed detection of 12 intervals requires 12 consecutive intervals falling in the VT zone for a VT episode to be detected. A slower interval will reset the counter, while a VF interval does not reset or increment the counter.
For a 3 therapy zone set up, choosing 'FVT via VF zone' gives a fast VT zone using the probabilistic counter from the VF zone, while choosing 'FVT via VT zone' gives a fast VT zone using the consecutive counter from the VT zone.
Fig 4: Example of the sliding window used in Medtronic detection; here a VF detection of 9 out of 12 intervals is programmed (Mansour & Khairy, 2008).
Boston Scientific
3 consecutive intervals falling within any tachycardia zone start a detection window (a sliding window).
The detection window of 10 intervals is applied with 8 out of 10 fast intervals resulting in an episode being declared. The beats are classed according to the rate (e.g. VF, VT or VT-1 zone). Intervals in a faster zone will also count as an interval in the slower zones, however slower zone intervals do not count towards faster zones. Once 8 out of 10 intervals is reached in a zone, the respective zone's duration window begins.
The duration window is programmable (e.g. 2.5s in the VF zone). The 'sliding window' continues, and must detect 6 out of 10 intervals in that zone until the duration window expires, after which therapy for that zone is delivered (see Fig 5).
If the number of tachycardia intervals drops below the 6 out of 10 intervals, the duration window resets to zero, and will only start again after a further 8 out of 10 interval detection window is re-met. If this has not occurred within a set time interval the episode is declared over.
Fig 5: detection in a Boston Scientific device with 2 zones programmed. Although the VT detection window starts before the VF detection window, VF duration expires first and therefore rhythm is treated as VF (Zanker et al, 2016).

Systems & Hardware
How does my wireless security system communicate?
Our systems use dual-path technology (cellular and Wi-Fi) to connect your security panel to the Alarm Response Center, as well as your mobile app. During an alarm, the system automatically selects the fastest way to connect. It's more responsive, more connected, and more secure.
Your home sensors communicate with the panel using encrypted low-power radio signals that don't require your Wi-Fi network.
Will my security system continue to work if my wireless network goes down, or if the power goes out?
Yes. Your system has 4G LTE cellular backup to make sure your home is still professionally monitored.
Are wireless security systems secure?
Absolutely. It's much easier for an intruder to cut a landline than disrupt the wireless signal to the Alarm Response Center. If an intruder tries to break your security panel or base, it will set off an alarm before the system is compromised.
Wireless sensors are also secure. Since they aren't constrained by phone lines or wall mounts, they can be placed out of view of intruders. If a sensor is tampered with, an alarm will be triggered as well.
Can I turn the alarm system on and off?
Yes. You can use a passcode to arm and disarm it from the panel. You can also use the mobile app or a keychain remote.
Can my system be connected to home automation devices, such as smart lights, locks, and thermostats?
That's a popular option for many Brinks Home Security customers. Your system can serve as a hub for up to 119 Z-wave smart sensors and devices, such as video cameras, locks and lights. Compatible devices from multiple manufacturers can be controlled remotely from the mobile app.
Do pets trigger motion sensors?
In general, only pets over 40 lbs. are capable of triggering motion sensors. To safeguard against pet-triggered alarms, we suggest following the recommendations provided with your security system, and (if possible) setting motion detectors in areas that pets don't normally frequent.
What type of batteries do door and motion sensors use?
Your door sensors take a single 3V lithium watch battery, while motion sensors take two lithium AA batteries. Both types of battery last from 5 to 10 years. They only cost a few dollars and are easy to purchase and replace.
Why don't your systems include window sensors?
Our door sensors can also be used as window sensors, though window sensors aren't cost-effective for home protection. Window break-ins are rare, and with the effective protection provided by well-placed door and motion sensors, window sensors are rarely necessary. If you absolutely need window sensors, just add extra door sensors when you purchase your system.
When a security breach occurs, does my system tell me where in my home it happened?
Yes. Each sensor protects a door, window, or area, and will indicate the location of the breach when an alarm occurs.
I don't have good cellular service at my house. Will my system still work?
Absolutely. Your system uses dual-path connectivity to communicate over the best signal—whether it's Wi-Fi or cellular. The cellular service will come from either AT&T or Verizon, depending on which carrier is stronger at your home. Just call or chat us to let us know if you have a preference.
Does my security system have a warranty?
Your system hardware is covered by a 2-year limited warranty. If anything breaks during the first two years, we'll replace it.
Can I take my system with me if I move to a new home?
Yes. That's one of the advantages of a wireless self-installed system. Just take the devices down from your old home and place them in your new home. Once you have installed your system in the new location, just call or chat to let us know. Your monthly rate will remain the same unless you choose to add additional services.
Can I get an additional system for my vacation home?
Of course! Just call or chat with one of our security experts to get started.
How is my system so affordable? What's the catch?
There is no catch. Our systems are self-installed, which lets you avoid costs for professional installation. Whether you work with a security specialist or build it yourself, you'll get a system with exactly what you need to protect your home. This avoids extra hardware that runs up your bill.

Spring Break Intern
My little "helpers" were available this week and wanted to help mommy with everything except cleaning their own bedroom. Owa assisted me in sending out review copies. She decided to retire her job shortly after Eli and Addison went outside to play stick hockey. We have had a great spring break: cousin sleep over, Star Wars Marathon, Mexican Fiesta, slumber party at Nana's and yesterday the triplets spent an hour rolling down a hill at the park. This morning we woke up to snow. Another chance for a snowball fight!

Are you ready for this? Or maybe you have already had kids and have gone through this. Either way, not one mommy would disagree with these cold hard facts about during and after labor. Here is what you are in store for.
1. No matter how much you prepare and how many cute colored bold fonted words you express onto paper in your perfect birth plan, labor is a war zone. You will never be able to predict exactly what kind of labor you will have, and almost always you will be sent back to medieval times when we were at our most primal forms of mankind. One minute you are finishing off your In-N-Out burger and basking in the sun as a respectable member of society, the next you are making low grunting tones and stomping around looking for a way to get to the damn hospital.
Suddenly you are rendered without speech (besides the grunts and howls) and can only mutter maybe a 2 words (usually profane ones) for the next 7 to 36 hours. You can't tell anyone what you want or need, you poop anywhere and everywhere (usually without even knowing it), your In-N-Out lunch ends up being regurgitated into a bedpan, and your husband is about to get a crash course into every bodily function the female body has ever been capable of. All the farting you have hidden from him, all the poops you wisely masked in the downstairs bathroom while he lay in bed clueless, all the body bronze you use to make your skin look flawless, the mascara, the panties, the entire female package that he has been served his whole life, gone. Erased. This is the real deal and he is sitting front row. We have gone completely primal. Wild animal in the woods primal. And there is no way around this process but to embrace it and know that yes all these things will happen and yes there will be an audience to see it happen. Everything about you will be exposed and you have to let go and be okay with that. Hold your head high, even if you are striking 15 undocumented yoga poses every time a contraction hits. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
2. After labor you will get some serious shakes. In fact, if you ever wanted to learn to Krunk and never got around to it, you will never need a lesson because your body will naturally be Krunking as soon as the baby comes out. It's a straight up twerking party and you are the star.
3. Baby is out, you are happily in the room resting and learning about each other. All is well, except for your butt. Your butt is not well. It's afraid. I remember after my first baby the nurses came in and said "Now don't you be afraid to poop. Lots of moms are and you need to let yourself, okay?" I was like, um……why would I be afraid to poop? No problem there, I will happily poop when I need to. Until I needed to poop, that's when I realized that my precious nether region felt as though the baby had been born from there instead. It was afraid as hell, just as nurses had warned. Who would have thought??
4. When you get home, your breasts will take on there own life form and live independently from your body. They will be huge, swollen, lumpy, hard, possible squirting people and out of control. Top that with a baby using them as a personal open bar and it's a recipe for PAIN. PAIN ALL AROUND. Your poor nipples will feel like lightening is shooting through them each time baby feeds like his mouth is made from Kryptonite, it's going to be bad and it will probably lead to a case of ugly crying several times a day on your part.
5. Buy stock in dry shampoo, you will not get a good hair wash for a while. By my second child I went out a week before the due date and got 5 cans of the stuff, gotta stock up so I didn't look like a greasy raving lunatic. I would just look like a non greasy raving lunatic.
6. Unless you laser you will transform into a hairy Sasquatch. I mean, taking a shower after having kids leaves you somewhere between 3 and 42 seconds to wash, leaving most of the maintenance duties out. So you will be a hairy beast for a while. Shaving is for weekends, when you can dump all this crap on your husband and relax for a few minutes.
7. Fights. Damn will you fight. Your husband and yourself are dealing with some serious s**t. Like I said, it's a war zone and you have to stick together to make it through. Amidst the chaos, you are both feeling what torture in the form of sleep deprivation really is, and a lot of the time you will straight up turn on each other. Your household chore list also just went from 20 tasks to 1,507 tasks….. daily. So yeah, if you aren't fighting then maybe you should check to make sure you are married to a real person and not some kind of reptilian swamp thing from outer space. Because a real person is going to flip their s**t.
8. It will get better. Newborn-ville is go time. With your first it's about adjusting to a new life where your previous experience with free time has suddenly been erased, and there is a mourning period to that. Mixed with no sleep. With your second, you are adjusted to having no free time, but you again find yourself awake all night and this time you have a toddler who is nice enough to take away any chance you have for a nap while baby sleeps. So again, brutal. But then, when you break through the first 6 months or so, you find you made it through the thick of it and start to really enjoy the process. Almost as though you must be broken into a shell of a person to really make it through.
Obviously I have seen these parents that make it all look easy, and maybe it is for them. Doubtful, but maybe. I do think to myself that this type of job is for someone much younger than someone in their mid 30's. My 22 year old self would have had much less trouble with this no sleep/heavy work load type of thing. My 30's self likes her relaxing time. But I look at my little ones and it's a no brainer. So worth it.

Bridlington Tourist Information 01482 391634
Sewerby/Danes Dyke Circular Easy
Bringing Bridlington Information to You
Sewerby/Danes Dyke Circular Easy
On this 'busy' side of the headland you'll meet others enjoying a pleasant stroll and passing the time of day with fellow walkers.
You return to Sewerby either along the inland path over the golf course or back along the cliff top.
If you return along the cliff top path you will enjoy splendid views of Bridlington.
Follow the route on the map and you shouldn't get lost!
Features of Interest
Sewerby is an ancient village and the 'by' perhaps denotes Danish origin. The Romans built a settlement here and the village was mentioned in the Domesday Book. It has some fine chalk built cottages and has a pleasant feel about it.
From along the cliff top to Danes Dyke you can see Bridlington Bay. In summer the Bay is full of cobbles from Bridlington on fishing trips. You can watch the two pleasure boats from 'Brid' - the 'Yorkshire Belle' and the 'Flamborian' - travelling to and from the lighthouse. Many still remember the 'Flamborian' when it was called the 'Boy's Own' and the other boats (the 'Bridlington Queen', the 'Britannia' and the Hull tug, the 'Yorkshireman').
From the beach, east of Sewerby steps, is the "buried cliff". The cliff turns from clay to chalk topped by clay. The chalk section is the old cliff line and ran inland to Driffield and south to Hessle i.e. the Yorkshire Wolds. During the last Ice Age, glaciers swept over Holderness depositing debris along and on top of the former chalk coastline.
In Holderness the sea erodes the clay cliffs at 2-3 yards a year and one day the coastline may again be along the chalk at Driffield and Hessle! Some protection took place at Mappleton south of Hornsea in 1990. This has stopped erosion there but further south the sea has washed away the beach. Certain farmers lost over 30 yards! There are also important fossil deposits here including perfect specimens of sponges. Children may find these, and the many large flat pieces of chalk with several holes in them, bored by shellfish called piddocks. Many children enjoy painting faces on them. Can you paint yours? The rock pools on the shore attract large numbers of wading birds and gulls, always a source of interest. Which can you identify?
Inland was the site of an Anglian cemetery near to Home Farm dating back some 1,400 years. Excavation has revealed the graves of adults and children with items of jewellery, clothing, pottery and weapons, all of which suggest a settled community. Some of the finds can be found in Sewerby Hall.
Sewerby has a fine hall and gardens which are well worth a visit. The house was built in 1714-20 by John Graeme with additions made in 1808. Inside is a collection of trophies, awards and mementoes belonging to the pioneering airwoman Amy Johnson. She opened the house in 1934 after its purchase by the former Bridlington Corporation. The grounds are delightful to wander around and contain what are said to be the oldest Monkey Puzzle trees in the world. The Old English Garden is especially pleasant in spring and summer and the children will enjoy the mini-zoo with its monkeys, llamas and penguins, as well as farm animals such as pigs and goats. It's a pleasant end to a pleasant stroll, especially if the brass band is playing on the bandstand, or if a game of cricket is being played on the cliff top field. A brisk tune or the sound of leather on willow, and always the headland beckoning beyond. Let's go for another walk...
Or if that is a step too far you may like to have a closer look at the Church of St John the Evangelist. Built in Neo-Norman style in 1846-48 for Yarborough Greame. The interior has many fine Victorian features: pews, pulpit, font and carved granit reredos. There is also a monument to Thomas Greame which was brought from the ruined St Martin's Church at the deserted village of Wharram Percy.
This route:-
Contains some steep slopes.
Contains steps.
Contains surfaces which can be boggy in wet weather.

Hey, I found this one too. One of my favorites and it fits the day. "Cleaning Windows." "I'm a workin' man in my prime."
Blogging on family, politics,conservatism, music, movies, history, books, poems, etc.
Wow. Van must have mellowed in his old age. I quit looking for his stuff on the Tube o' You about three years ago coz the ONLY things available were three or four "officially authorized" clips from his web site. Rumor had it that Van wasted no time prosecuting people who uploaded his stuff and the dearth of his material kinda bore that out.
I hit the "watch on You Tube" option on "Days" and see there's a TON of his stuff there now. WOW! Van is my very favorite artist; I have a TON of his stuff, both on CD and vinyl.
Glad your day is goin' well!

In the mid-1800s, after decades of the scientific and economic march of the Industrial Revolution has created an age of both new prosperity and new problems, a 26-year-old writer, researcher and radical named Karl Marx embarks, with his wife Jenny, on the road to exile. In Paris in 1844 they meet young Friedrich Engels, the well-to-do son of a factory owner whose studies and research has exposed the poor wages and worse conditions of the new English working class who operate looms, printing presses and other engines of industry that enrich their owners while punishing laborers. The smooth and sophisticated--but equally revolutionary and radical--Engels brings his research, help and resources to provide Marx with the missing piece to the puzzle that composes his new vision of the world. Together, between censorship and police raids, riots and political upheavals, they will preside over the birth of the labor movement turning far-flung and unorganized idealists and dreamers into a united force with a common goal. The organizations they create and ideas they put forward will grow into the most complete philosophical and political transformation of the world since the Renaissance--started, against all expectations, by two brilliant, insolent and sharp-witted young men whose writings, works and ideas were embraced by revolutionaries even as they were corrupted by dictators.

For my first installment of Ask the Crafter, I'd like to answer the question "I think I know, but I'd love to hear details about the difference between hand-painted and hand-dyed yarn." sent in from Margaret of Three Sisters Knit.
First of all, these two things are totally different categories. Hand-dyed yarn would refer to the fact that a yarn was dyed by hand. Hand-painting yarn is a specific technique used which would produce a hand-dyed yarn.
There are many different techniques for making a hand-dyed yarn, a few that I use are: hand-painting, speckle dyeing, kettle dyeing, and space dyeing. These are all various techniques/looks you would go for when dyeing yarn, and can be combined further to create truly unique yarn (this is where the art comes in, the dyer is an artist) Personally, I like to combine techniques when dyeing using a multi-layered process (I sometime dye the same yarn 2-3 times to get more richness of color, one of the reasons most of my colorways are non-repeatable).
I am not going to go into details of all these different techniques today, since the focus is on hand-painted yarn. But I just thought I'd mention other techniques to show you hand-dyed yarn can be broken into many categories depending on the dye style of the artist. Also note that this post is not a tutorial on how to hand-paint yarn, it is an informational post that will hopefully help you understand what makes a yarn "hand-painted."
Hand-painting is a technique of dyeing yarn where it is typically soaked first in an acidic solution of either vinegar or citric acid diluted with water (if dyeing with acid dyes; there are other types of dye such as "reactive" dyeing used for plant fibers which use a different solution for dye adherence) then laid flat over plastic wrap, and "painted" in stripes of color with dye solution. It is then wrapped in the plastic wrap and steamed to set the colors.
Here is a photo from back when I first started dyeing. This was my colorway 'Anduin' on a superwash merino & nylon blend base and was my first time ever hand-painting a yarn. Notice how the yarn is laid out over plastic (there are other ways to do this, you could always wrap it in plastic afterwards, but I always found applying the dye over the plastic to be the least messy) and the different shades of color were painted across the yarn to create repeating stripes of color.
Note that this isn't a "self-striping" colorway, a yarn dyed in this way will create a variegated yarn where when you are knitting/crocheting/etc the different shades of color will mottle together. Sometimes a hand-painted yarn can make stripes, but it will all depend on the length of the strip of dyed color being the perfect length with the width of your project (usually a sock or something small to be able to do this) to create the stripes of color. Personally, I am not that calculating so I like to just let the yarn do what it wants to do in the project I am using it for. If I find it pooling in an unflattering way then to me that just means this particular skein of yarn wasn't right for that particular project, but it can be great for another project.
Here is an example of how a variegated yarn may stripe or pool colors. This is a baby hat, so it is a small project that just happened to be the same width of the blocks of colors dyed in the yarn. I often get questions like "Will this colorway pool?" And my answer is, "Is this a variegated colorway? Then yes, there is always the chance that it may pool colors, which will depend on the project you are making and typically isn't predictable." I think color pooling can be super awesome at times, as it was with this hat. It all just depends on your preferences, and if you are looking to avoid pooling you will probably want to avoid a contrasting variegated yarn (look for one with an analogous color scheme) or go for something more solid and balanced throughout the skein.
When I hand-paint yarn, I typically only dye 1-2 skeins at a time. From my experience with hand-painting, it can get quite messy and hard to control if you try to do more than this at a time, but maybe those more skilled than me can handle more. I find hand-painting to be very beginner friendly since you do not need to worry about multi-tasking that can happen when dyeing in a kettle, and allows you to focus solely on applying the color. Then you steam it afterwards, but the color is already applied so you just let the steam do the rest of the work.
I'd also like to mention another method of dyeing that gives a very similar look to hand-painted yarn, and that is dip-dyeing. You can see below my colorway 'Topsy Turvy' which was dip dyed. With dip dyeing I can usually dye around 3-4 skeins at a time (likely a reason many dyers choose this method over hand-painting after they get the basics of dyeing down since it is a bit quicker to produce) This yarn is dyed by dipping sections of it in a pot of dye on the stove and allowing the dye to absorb and set before moving to the next color. Dip-dyeing also produces a variegated yarn like hand-painting does.
The main point I would like to make, is that whether you are using a hand-painting or a dip-dyeing technique, the outcome will usually be a variegated yarn. Yes, variegated yarns can have pooling, but the word "pooling" doesn't have to be taboo. Color pooling can produce some really beautiful results and is part of the joy and wonder of working with variegated and eye-catching yarns. There are many methods of hand-dyeing yarn, and really in the end it doesn't matter which technique is used.
To the dyers: Combine techniques if you want, make up your own, have fun and be an artist. There are only rules if you choose to acknowledge them. Of course there are some that would be very useful to keep in mind, such as setting the dye correctly and taking care not to felt untreated wool. But when it comes to color, your own imagination is your limit. Dyeing is an art, be an artist and come up with your own colorways. Make what YOU like, and others will be inspired. You don't have to follow trends or dye colors you hate just to get sales. If you truly love the work you do, it will shine through and others will want what you dye.
To the knitters/crocheters/weavers purchasing hand-dyed yarn: You all are the backbone behind small hand-dyed yarn shops. Without you we wouldn't be able to offer all our crazy, whacky, unique hand-dyed yarn. Please always understand that dyeing is an art form and hand-dyed is not the same as commercially produced yarns, so please do not expect us to produce yarn to those standards (in high volume, with every skein matching perfectly, always repeating colorways to every yarn base, etc.). Allow us to express our creative self and make yarns that are sometimes not repeatable and are one of a kind and spontaneous so the knitter, crocheter, and other yarn crafter can make with what is truly a work of art. Using hand-dyed yarns requires a certain level of creativity and spontaneity, and adds a joy you just can't get from commercial yarns.
My mantra when working with a hand-dyed or handspun yarn:
The yarn already knows what it wants to be, so instead of trying to control it, let it flourish in its own beauty and allow it to surprise you when working with it.
I hope you found this article helpful in discerning the difference between hand-painted and in general hand-dyed yarn. If you liked this article, please let me know in the comments below. Also, if you have a question you would like to see answered next week in my next episode, leave me a comment and maybe your question will be featured. Or, if anything in the post was confusing or not well explained, I will be happy to clarify!

Hi Amanda! This is so interesting to read, thanks for sharing! There's so much learn in the world of yarn. I have a question, can you tell us what "core spun" means? I've seen that in your updates/listings and elsewhere, but I'm not a spinner so I would love to learn what that means. Best, Sara

Blame it on the alcohol
2 comments:
I think the key word is definitely "culture". It's the same in Australia.ReplyDelete
I agree - blaming horrific crimes on alcohol is just disgusting. There has to be something lurking inside of you that you're not dealing with properly before you start drinking. I have never had the urge to damage property or hurt anyone when I've gotten drunk in the past!
Everyone has to be accountable for their actions. If you don't want to lose control, you shouldn't drink in the first place - that is your first opportunity to make a good choice.
Problem is, I think people like the idea of losing control.
I think people need to be told how lame it is to need alcohol to have "fun". Maybe a social campaign which shows how boring a person must be if they can't just be "cool" or "fun" or "adventurous" without the help of a substance might work over time. This kind of cultural change doesn't happen overnight though. It takes persistence.
@Kez I am exactly the same when I have been drinking. I have never gotten violent or done anything illegal etc.ReplyDelete
I think that people can have fun without alcohol...or even without drinking to excess.

I've been trying out new ways to use the pulp that comes from my juicer. I was in the kitchen and brainstorming. One of the doggie barked at me, wanting a carrot, and I was inspired. This is what I came up with:
1/3 cup pb (over flowing)
2 cups flour (I use wheat)
1 1/4 cups hot water
2 cup oats
Mix in a bowl and then add oatmeal until mixture is firm.
Make at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. You can use a rolling pin and cookie cutter, however, sometimes I just make little balls and squish them with the bottom of a glass. My doggies love them!
Make sure you keep them in an airtight container. They stay good about a week.

Will this new "state" use Hamas as it national police force? Officials: U.S., Israel Readying Call for Palestinian Statehood
Note, though, that no cessation of terror, no statehood.
Note, though, that no cessation of terror, no statehood.
JERUSALEM — Israel and the United States are preparing a new joint peace initiative for possible release following Israel's January 28 general election, the Forward has learned.
The initiative, details of which are still being ironed out in high-level, behind-the-scenes talks, would reportedly include a joint American-Israeli call for the establishment of a "demilitarized Palestinian state with temporary borders," according to several sources familiar with the talks. A unilateral Israeli announcement of the establishment of such a Palestinian state is being considered. The new state reportedly would be led by an appointed prime minister, with Yasser Arafat barred from playing any role.
Senior officials have confirmed that such plans are under discussion. Several sources cautioned against expectations of an early breakthrough, however, insisting that such plans would not be activated until after the Iraq crisis has been resolved.
Any explicit declaration relating to the establishment of Palestinian statehood, one senior government source told the Forward, would be part of a "second phase," following Palestinian economic and political reform and the cessation of terrorism.

"Nyota, there is something I must tell you," Spock said, pulling back to extricate himself from her arms. Uhura had dragged him into her quarters while kissing him when he arrived exactly one hour after the party. He had dutifully worked on his report for the maximum time allowed by his attending physician before permitting himself to enjoy the benefits of their unplanned shore leave.
"What is it?" she demanded breathlessly, her hands still holding his head and throbbing LUST-LUST-WANT-WANT-LUST-LUST-NOW into his mind. He grabbed her wrists to remove them so he could think more clearly.
"The pendant… has a mild radioactive signature," he managed. "While the radiation is not strong enough to be harmful to you in any way, it is still identifiable because of its unique properties."
"Oh? And why are you telling me this now?" she asked, confused but unconcerned.
"Dr. McCoy put it in terms of a 'tracking device' and indicated that… perhaps it might be distasteful for you to realize that it could function as such."
"I don't care, Spock," she declared, grabbing his Vulcan tunic by the sleeves. "All I care about right now is that you are functioning at peak efficiency."
"I believe I am," he began, thinking to add some acknowledgement of the doctor's expert care, but Uhura had started kissing him again and rendered verbal speech impossible.
One of the benefits of dating a Vulcan, Uhura insisted, was that it took him a very long time to climax, even though this meant that they had to plan their nights together carefully and try to get the same days off-duty. Tonight it had taken an especially long time, during which she had experienced no fewer than five orgasms. She now lay sleeping, exhausted but thoroughly sated. Spock held her naked body close, both his hands pressed to her skin, but could feel only a faint sense of satisfaction. This was to be expected — it was usual for him to lose almost all empathic communication with her when she slept — so it did not trouble him; however, it raised a point of interest, since he had been able to sense McCoy's emotions even while he had been asleep, not to mention through the barrier of his uniform. It was a matter of scientific interest for Spock.
He would at times catch brief flashes of emotion from Uhura when she was dreaming, but nothing more. He wondered if McCoy had not been asleep, then dismissed that notion since he distinctly remembered hearing the doctor snore. "So then, do different Humans feel emotions with different degrees of intensity?" This seemed to be the most logical answer. The raw power of McCoy's emotions while he was awake had surprised Spock, so it seemed reasonable to assume that the same level of intensity was carried over into his sleep. "If he is genetically predisposed to feel with such intensity at all times, it must be difficult to act rationally at all."
And yet Spock knew from experience that the doctor was quite capable of dealing with medical emergencies in a calm, rational manner. Despite his brusque attitude and harsh words, his treatments were always appropriate and professional. Most patients and nurses were willing to bear his crusty bedside manner precisely because he was so skilled in the art of medicine.
"Which means he has had to overcome a greater handicap than most to become so adept," Spock surmised. "A significant accomplishment indeed."
In light of this conclusion, Spock was doubly glad that he had decided to present the doctor with his gift. The fleeting contact he had had with McCoy when affixing the pendant to his neck had flooded him with SURPRISED-AMAZED-CONFUSED-EMBARRASSED-GLAD-HAPPY-AMAZED-EMBARRASSED. While it had not been his intent to embarrass him, Spock hoped that, after the initial moment, gladness would be the strongest emotion.
"Dr. McCoy often treats patients during combat or other emergency situations," he mused. "Perhaps because of that, or because he is perceived to be merely fulfilling his duties, he is not thanked much… although his own reception of such gestures may inhibit others from expressing their gratitude."
The thought made Spock smile. He had found himself irrepressibly amused — when exhausted and in pain, causing his emotions to get the better of him — by the doctor's comment about throwing a celebratory party at the news of Spock leaving Starfleet, since it had been diametrically opposed to McCoy's feelings of WORRY-WORRY-DISLIKE-DISLIKE-SAD-SAD-DISTRACT that had been conveyed very clearly across the short space between them. Combined with his earlier feelings of PROTECT-PROTECT-WORRY-PROTECT-PROTECT-PRECIOUS, Spock knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that McCoy's preceding remark of "I don't know what he'd do without you" was in fact a reflection of his own response, not Jim's alone.
Spock wondered how many of the other Humans realized that McCoy's gruff words were deceiving, or at least a disguise of his deeply-felt emotions, and to what extent. "Many are quite intuitive," he thought, looking over at Uhura where she lay sleeping, "and being controlled by emotions themselves, perhaps they understand the need to deflect scrutiny from their true feelings. But without the benefit of empathic communication, not all can possibly comprehend the depths of Leonard's compassion… as well as the lengths to which he goes in his attempts to hide it."
Uhura stirred and Spock felt a slight surge of contentment emanate from her as she settled into a more comfortable position.
"Jim must understand the complexities of Leonard's discordant verbal communication better than anyone else, having been his friend for so long," he continued to ponder. "As do perhaps the nurses who have worked alongside him. I believe Mr. Sulu has smiled at his comments on multiple occasions, and even Nyota seemed amused by his recommendations for improving the uniforms rather than appreciative. It is possible that I am one of the few who had not realized his surly attitude is more… bombastic than substantial."
And yet Spock also knew McCoy could be brutally honest when voicing his opinions. In their very first private conversation, Spock had welcomed his candid comments and McCoy had made a passionate (if not particularly logical) case for not marooning Jim, which had later been proven out. His objection to Spock's coldblooded handling of the situation had also taught the Vulcan — in hindsight — much about Human emotional responses. And during the incident with Khan, while the doctor's emotional outburst against Spock's logic had initially seemed irresponsible, his gut instinct that Khan could not be trusted had also been proven correct.
"Both Leonard and Jim seem capable of making intuitive judgments which are surprisingly accurate despite the limited amount of information. While it would be illogical to rely on such unfounded methods on a regular basis, in crisis situations their decision-making processes have served them well. Perhaps their intuition is based on subtle empathic or even telepathic impressions — they must be gathering data, possibly without being aware of it themselves, through non-verbal communication also."
Spock had been impressed with how quickly McCoy had figured out how to fly the alien craft, especially considering that the last time the doctor had piloted anything must have been years ago at the Academy. Remembering his indignation at being taken on a "joyride" in the "alien death-trap" made Spock chuckle, which in turn roused Uhura, who opened her eyes with something like suspicion growing in her mind.
"Did you just laugh?" she asked.
"I'm sorry — I did not mean to wake you."
"Can't you sleep?"
"I was… thinking."
"About what?"
Spock paused to stroke her back with one hand. "About… Dr. McCoy. Something droll he had said."
Uhura sat up with waves of displeasure emanating from her. Spock did not need to be touching her to sense it.
"Why are you upset?"
She stood and pulled on her Vulcan sleeping robe — Spock's gift for her last birthday — before answering.
"We finally get to spend the night together after… how many weeks apart? And you're thinking about Dr. McCoy?"
Spock tried to ignore the sinking feeling in his stomach that occurred any time he offended Uhura without understanding exactly why.
"He has been on my mind much lately, which should come as no surprise after the time we spent together."
"I get it — I do, really — the two of you went through some… awful times together," Uhura said, then sighed and sat on the edge of the bed. "But I thought you were the one with the mental discipline here. Why would you bring that up now? When we're together?"
"I… I was not dredging up the trauma of our experience, Nyota… simply recalling an amusing comment Leonard had made about it. He was being… overly dramatic, as usual. I had thought you found his hyperbole to be humorous as well?"
"Oh, sure, but… is that more 'fascinating' than us? Can't we even have one night where it's not about our work and our mission and everything else?"
Spock considered this for a moment before answering, "Since we are both involved in the same work with the same mission, I believe any reference to it is, by definition, part of 'us.'"
Uhura made an exasperated sound. "Spock, we're supposed to be having a romantic night together! How would you feel if I started talking about other crew members? Like how Sulu almost died but Ensign Syl saved him, only to be killed herself? Or how Krall sucked the life out of the others and started looking like them?"
"Nyota," he responded, placing his hands on her shoulders in what he had learned was a soothing gesture, "I am sorry if my reflections seem to be a distraction from our time together. I had allowed my attention to wander, but only because you were asleep. However, if you would like to discuss your experiences with me, I would consider it an honor. I only wish to help you find serenity and happiness, T'hy'la."
The sadness, confusion, distress, and regret she projected was almost overwhelming. Spock embraced her as she began to cry.
"I'm so sorry… it's not fair to you," she sobbed, wrapping her arms around his shoulders. "I just… I can't even explain it…."
"Shhh," Spock whispered. "It's all right. You've been through a terrible experience; you must allow yourself more time to heal. And I am glad that you feel safe enough with me to share this."
While he continued to calm her as best he could, Spock remembered that McCoy had mentioned courses he could recommend for exactly this purpose. He made a mental note to ask the doctor about them at the next opportunity.

All Africa:
Volumes of SA art sold at auction during the first half of 2015 declined by around 10%, but average prices paid were exactly the same as during the last half of 2014, according to the latest Citadel Art Price Index (Capi).
George Herman, head of South African portfolios at Citadel Investment Services. (Supplied).
"It seems that we're well into a consolidation phase for SA art, where high-end signature pieces are fetching less, but the average pieces are doing very well. This expansion of the SA art market is very encouraging and bodes well for the future of art in South Africa," according to Citadel head of South African portfolios George Herman…

Yesterday I watched this years race on TV - it really is incredible - unbelievable even. 260 kilometres long with about 50 of those over the pave and ending in Roubaix with one and a half laps of the velodrome. To win this, one of the 'monuments' of the cycle racing season a rider is raised to God like status - Coppi, Merckx, Moser, Kelly have tamed Paris-Roubaix's pave for well-earned status.
The Paris Roubaix is one of the oldest races in professional cycling.Ffirst run in 1896, it was created by two textile manufacturers to publicise the opening of a new velodrome that they had built in Roubaix. They offered a winning prize which represented seven months' wages for a miner at the time. The Paris-Roubaix was born.
Here's a few photos so that you get the feel for it.

GRANGE have worked hard in training this week to sharpen up on their penalty corner routine and coach Colin Clarke hopes that work will be rewarded in their hockey double-header.
The Scottish Cup and play-off winners host Clydesdale, a side fresh from an opening day 3-0 win over newly-promoted Uddingston last Saturday.
Then Grange cross the city to Peffermill on Sunday to square up to Edinburgh University.
Grange edged Dundee Wanderers 2-1 on Tayside last Saturday and Clarke said: "We learned from that. We also created lots of chances which we didn't put away.
"We've worked hard in training and will look to see an improvement this weekend."
Edinburgh University coach Graham Moodie was disappointed with the performance of the under-strength squad in the 3-3 draw at Gordonians last Saturday.
They face Moodie's old club, Western, tomorrow (4pm) and Grange on Sunday (4pm).
He said: "We didn't start the game with the energy we expect and ended up on the back foot."

REVIEW: Silent House
There's something brave about this film. Is it the sheer bravado that comes with announcing that it has all been rehearsed to such a scale that a horror film can literally be made in ninety minutes? Or the reality of it? There is so much darkness that it would be sheer stupidity if they didn't cut along the way - and so I will end any questions now. Let's presume it wasn't done in one take.
Now that that's out of the way, we can delve through the hype and into whether this is a good film or not. However, I'm slightly on the fence about it. The slow burning beginning might seem a tad too long for some, but I always find that it helps set the scene, examine characters and build up the tension which is always a plus. Once everything starts going wrong, you wander around the house with our protagonist Laura as things start going bump in the dark. I do have a few issues with this . Mainly, she makes a somewhat meagre attempt to escape the house but by no means puts any effort into it, so the initial creeping around the house seems a bit stupid. If there's some kind of killer around, why would you be snooping trying to find him? Also, when she does ever go outside, it's dusk at best, never night-time, which makes it less scary and I question why they were going to sleep while the sun was still up in any case.
However, for it's faults, the film allows the viewer to snoop around the spooky house with Laura as she uncovers stranger and stranger things. Little girls turn up, weird paintings, the staircase leading to the dreaded upstairs, strange photos on walls, noises in the distance, they all create an atmosphere that plays on the audience's imagination by giving you glimpses of things - one inspiring sequence with a Polaroid flash was brilliant to say the least. Once you start nearing the end and you fathom what the hell is going on, you feel cheated and it's a real shame that they couldn't have come up with something slightly better or at least more original. In fact, it means the entire story doesn't make any sense and the strange credits sequence leaves you feeling like the attachment you built up for Laura got severed, that you were perhaps punished for rooting for her.
By going into this in too much detail, I'll be giving the game away. It's safe to say though that I did enjoy the film and is one step further in the evolution of horror, especially modern ones like Paranormal Activity where low-budget scares are more than often the best way to go. Whatever is going bump in the dark in your head, will always be scarier than reality.
Don't mistake this film for the American remake that will be coming out soon either. Apparently it's not much different and, like a lot of remakes, a lot worse. Find this out and have a look because, for the majority of the film, I felt I was with Laura in a horribly creepy house and for that scare alone, it's worth the money. Minus a point for the ending though.

Rania Khalek takes a good look at the 'feminism' of the woman who says she wants to speak for 'the excluded'.
AS THE 2016 US PRESIDENTIAL election nears, Hillary Clinton, the projected frontrunner for the Democratic nomination, is painting herself as a champion of women's rights. As a result, she is being lionized in the corporate press as a feminist crusader across the globe.
On International Women's Day, Clinton proclaimed that "the rights of women and girls is the unfinished business of the 21st century." The New York Daily News (7/3/14) summed up, "Clinton has made women's issues a centrepiece of her agenda."
Clinton boasts of having incorporated feminism into US foreign policy. As Time (12/6/14) reported:
"As the former US Secretary of State, Clinton discussed how feminism plays a key role in the US's foreign policy. "Women and girls … [are] central to our foreign policy," she said, explaining that nations that support women are more stable and "less likely to breed extremism."
"Clinton has focused much of her career as first lady, senator and then secretary of State on issues affecting women and girls," asserted NBCNews.com 18/9/14), citing comments she made about the "glass ceiling." Even the progressive American Prospect (25/6/14) labeled Clinton's tenure as secretary of State "unabashedly feminist."
None of these outlets bothered to compare Clinton's statements with her actual record, choosing instead to act as stenographers and at times cheerleaders for Clinton's feminist branding campaign. This suggests a definition of feminism so shallow as to be virtually empty, attaching automatically to any woman who wields power of any kind, toward any end.
An established foreign policy hawk, Clinton has vociferously defended the US drone strikes that terrorize, maim and kill women and girls in Pakistan, Yemen and Afghanistan (Reuters, 6/7/12). As 9-year-old Nabila Rehman (Truthout, 11/1/13)—whose grandmother was obliterated before her eyes by a US drone strike in Pakistan's North Waziristan—told a US congressional briefing, "Now, I am always scared."
Following Israel's merciless bombing campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip last summer—which killed nearly 2,200 Palestinians, 70 percent of them civilians, including 287 women and 190 girls, Clinton blamed Palestinians, telling the Atlantic (10/8/14) that "Israel did what it had to do," accusing Hamas of "stage-managing" the slaughter of children to gain international sympathy.
Apparently Clinton's version of female empowerment doesn't extend to Palestinian women and girls living under the fanatical rule of Israeli lawmakers like Ayelet Shaked, a senior partner in the governing coalition Clinton vehemently defends. Just before the Gaza onslaught, Shaked called for the slaughter of Palestinian mothers to prevent them from birthing "little snakes" (Electronic Intifada, 7/7/14).
Another group of women and girls unworthy of Clinton's empowerment agenda are those escaping violence in a nation she helped destabilize. As tens of thousands of unaccompanied children fleeing Central American violence were detained while crossing the US/Mexico border, Clinton told CNN (17/6/14) that "they should be sent back" to "send a clear message" to their parents that "just because your child gets across the border, that doesn't mean the child gets to stay."
The media generally fail to mention that over 13,000 of the estimated 47,000 children detained between October 2013 to May 2014 came from Honduras, more than from any other country. This was more than 13 times as many Honduran children as were detained in 2009, the year a US-backed military coup ousted democratically elected Honduran President Manuel Zelaya (Pew Research Center, 6/10/14)
In her book Hard Choices, Clinton acknowledged playing a key role in solidifying the coup leadership's grip on power by preventing Zelaya's return to office (to "render the question of Zelaya moot," as she put it)—a move that helped plunge Honduras in further violence, causing children to flee for their lives (Al Jazeera America, 29/9/14).
If this suggests to some that Clinton's feminism necessarily takes a back seat to foreign policy goals, her history on the domestic front is no better.
In her memoir, she brags about working tirelessly "to round up votes" in 1996 for her husband's welfare reform bill (New York Times, 11/4/08), legislation that saw the number of households with children living in deep poverty skyrocket (National Poverty Center, 2/12). It was especially disastrous for single mothers (New York Times, 8/4/12).
No wonder Wall Street is prepared to shower this pro-austerity feminist hawk with an endless stream of cash to get her elected in 2016 (Politico, 11/11/14). Clinton's version of feminism is one of exclusion, serving state power and capital under the banner of gender equality. It is the kind of feminism that Wall Street, US empire and corporate media outlets can get behind precisely because of who it shuts out.

Trinity Church Centre (A Brief History) –
'We'll go in the strength of the Lord' is our motto and anniversary hymn, first sung as we left our premises for the massive refurbishment programme to commence, and as we rejoiced when our 'new church' was blessed on completion.
Trinity Church Centre began life as several churches – Abbey Methodist, Hawcoat Methodist and Emmanuel URC. Situated on the main road in to the town centre of Barrow-in-Furness, we came together in 1991, in what was the Abbey Methodist building. It underwent massive refurbishment and restyling to provide us with an accessible building, comprising a fully adaptable, upstairs worship area, a lift being available for those who have a need for it. The worship area is set up with an audio visual facility, and there are further meeting rooms off the main room. Downstairs we have a large lounge with coffee bar, large, fully equipped kitchen, and storage, as well as an offset small chapel which is used for evening and occasional services. There are various meeting rooms, and a large multi-use games hall.
Many organisations meet within our premises on a regular basis. We have good links with the WI and the Civic Society, Mother and toddlers, Steelworks Brass band as well as our own bible study, Guiding groups, indoor bowls, badminton and Women on Wednesday. Our monthly coffee mornings are hosted by different groups of the church, and are a vital link with the local community as well as the United Area. At this time a prayer room is available for anyone who wishes to make use of it. Four times a year we hold a 'Stork sale' which encourages all ages to come along, and also have coffee available and various stalls. Throughout the year there are a selection of quiz nights, afternoon teas, and opportunities to gather for fellowship and fund raising.
On a Friday morning we meet for a dedicated prayer time, to complement the prayer book which is always available. We also have a small but dedicated Junior Church who enjoy sharing in worship. Along with ordinary morning services, we have a well supported Family Parade each month. There is an evening healing and communion service each month, as well as joint services with the United Area, the nearby Baptist Church, Abbey Group of Churches, and Churches Together in Barrow.
As the largest of the United Area Churches we have played host to visits from Sheffield University Gospel Choir, Adrian Plass, Share Jesus International with 'Acts Now', and Toni Vino, as well as local bands and choirs.
We have recently completed a 'SWOT' analysis in our Forum meeting, and are working on putting the results in to our action plan.
Trinity Church Centre is part of the South West Cumbria United Area – the Methodist Church and United Reformed Church working together in South West Cumbria.

ROSCOMMON — Officials at Kirtland Community College (KCC) recently announced seven different courses to be offered at its new site in Grayling.
Kirtland will be offering classes at the AuSable River Park/Nature Center at 100 S. James St. in Grayling, the former site of the public library, as part of the AuSable Artisan Village initiative. Course offerings for the site were recently finalized, though not in time to be included in the Winter 2011 class schedule.
"Kirtland is the education component of the AuSable Artisan Village," said Dr. Tom Quinn, KCC president. "We have many great artists in our area, but not all of them know how to market what they do. So, we're holding the classes to help them learn the business side of their work.
"But, at the same time, this opens up another location for any student who may want to take a class or two and lives in or closer to our other locations," he said.
Courses at the Grayling site for the 2011 winter semester will include:
• English 100 — Writing Lab, 3:30-5:30 p.m., Thursdays
• English 103 — English Composition I, 6-9 p.m., Thursdays
• Computer Information Systems 105 — Intro to Computers, 6-9 p.m., Mondays
• Math 073 — Basic Algebra, 10 a.m.-noon, Mondays and Wednesdays
• Math 074 — Basic Algebra Lab, 9-10 a.m., Mondays
• Accounting 125 — Accounting with Quickbooks, noon-2 p.m., Mondays and Wednesdays
• Business 101 — Intro to Business, 5-8 p.m., Wednesdays (hybrid).
The classes are not on the printed schedule, but will be in the system when students register, according to Kathy Marsh, dean of instruction at KCC.
Registration for the winter 2011 semester for all three Kirtland locations – the main campus near Roscommon, the Michigan Technical Education Center (M-TEC) in Gaylord and in West Branch is available today (Wednesday) through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
There also will be a registration period just prior to the start of the winter semester from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 5-6, and 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Friday, Jan. 7. The winter semester officially begins Saturday, Jan. 8.
When registering online, all classes to be held in Grayling will have a "G" immediately after the course number to designate the location.
For more information on the Grayling site or to register for classes, e-mail Kirtland's Admission Office at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 275-5000, ext. 284. Also, students may register online at www.kirtland.edu.
