When Jean-Pierre Raffarin was chosen today to be interim prime minister, until legislative elections are held in June, many people in France reacted with surprise -- but then, after a closer look, with total comprehension.
The surprise involved Mr. Raffarin's career -- he has moved in very un-French fashion from private business to government and back -- his low recognition factor and his relative inexperience in the affairs of national government.
Fewer than half of those polled today by an economics monthly said they knew who he was. But for a brief term as minister for small businesses, from 1995 to 1997, and his role as an adviser to President Jacques Chirac, he has virtually no national record.
What made people understand was this: Mr. Chirac picked an integrator, a man able to address the concerns of people in the provinces -- away from the hothouse of Paris -- and of owners of small businesses, many of whom, out of frustration, voted in the recent presidential elections for Mr. Chirac's right-wing challenger, Jean-Marie Le Pen.
Mr. Raffarin is also a grass-roots moderate, a man of the center in Mr. Chirac's Gaullist movement who will not frighten off moderate leftists weary of the last five years under Lionel Jospin, the Socialist prime minister, whom Mr. Raffarin will replace.Continue reading the main story
Mr. Raffarin, 53, will have to move fast, for his tenure lasts only until legislative elections on June 9 and 16, when France's 41 million eligible voters are to elect a new 577-member National Assembly.
His main role will be to propose a program addressing in broad strokes the issues that worry the average French voter: crime in the streets and national authority and identity. The idea will be to persuade voters to elect a majority of Chirac supporters, an outcome that would also assure Mr. Raffarin of the chance to serve a full five-year term.
Mr. Raffarin's background seems to prepare him well for the job. Unlike most French politicians, who graduated from the National School of Administration, Mr. Raffarin got his diploma from a prestigious business school, then went to work for a food company as a wholesale coffee salesman.
After a stint as spokesman for the labor minister in a conservative government of the late 1970's, he returned to private business, working in the public relations arm of the French consulting group Bernard Krief. During this time, he lectured at the Institute for Political Studies in Paris.
But the lure of politics was too strong for Mr. Raffarin, the son of a politician. In 1988, at 40, he was elected president of the regional council of the Poitou-Charente region on the Atlantic coast, perhaps best known for Cognac. Shortly afterward, he was elected to the European Parliament, where he worked in the Atlantic Arc, a group of mainly regional politicians striving to develop the potential of their constituencies against the force of big centers like Paris.
This attention to local affairs brought Mr. Raffarin into the conservative government of Alain Juppé in 1995 as the champion of France's struggling small businesses -- bakers of baguettes, butchers, cheese-makers.
With Mr. Raffarin's backing, the government struggled to shield small businesses with methods that appeared at times quixotic, including, for instance, floor prices for baguettes and a requirement for government approval of large retail stores, to stifle development of malls and large stores.
Jean-Pierre Raffarin was born on Aug. 3, 1948, into a political family. His father, Jean Raffarin, had been secretary of state for agriculture in the government of Pierre Mendès France. Mr. Raffarin grew up in Poitiers, capital of the region so close to his heart.
Mr. Raffarin's wife, Anne-Marie, is a homemaker. The couple have a daughter, Fleur, who is 20.
Mr. Chirac has made clear that the central task of Mr. Raffarin's government will be to rebuild a sense of security. Yet street safety finds little space in a book Mr. Raffarin published in January, ''A New Governance.'' Yes, he argues for a kind of reform school for juvenile delinquents, but he also demands banishment for life from public office for politicians involved in corruption, a curious demand given Mr. Chirac's skirmishes with French justice over corruption charges.
But Mr. Raffarin focused mainly on topics dear to his constituents: government decentralization, lower taxes and aid for small businesses, legal limits on public deficits, help for families with children and schools. He also included a proposal not likely to go down with a conservative constituency -- ''to open our culture to the world'' by granting the vote in local elections to immigrants.Continue reading the main story

Much has been heard about Corbyn this past week or so and unfortunately, there are those who see him as a breath of fresh air!
He is however a very dangerous man, 'I am one of the people' is a complete sham, he is nothing more than a revolutionary, but clever with it.
Corbyn is has opened his arms to what he calls a broad church and that allows him to welcome Trotskyists. Communists, the IRA and every one else who hates Britain; all revolutionaries.
This man has said that he will not if necessary press the nuclear button, which has made his so called debate on trident a complete and utter sham. What he is saying is that he will do nothing to protect the people of England if and when the time comes.
John McDonnell took the stage and within five minutes he was dripping with hate and potential violence. McDonnell is the epitome of the left wing Marxist party which is what they now are and proud of it. He said virtually nothing about the country and its problems, he is more concerned about insurrection.
Who are these people who are giving such a welcome to this evil party and as for the young men a women do they actually realise what they are advocating.
Marxism has never worked, it has however ended the lives of millions of innocent people.
UKIP is now the only way out for those who love their country. Liberals and the Green Party are just as foolish, intent also like the Marxist party in flooding England with immigrants. England is hated by the EU and the Marxists and are intent on stamping us out of existence.
Who is the person from the QE QM hospital who told RAF Sergeant Mark Prendeville to leave the A@E waiting room because he could offend other patients, in other words Muslims, who else would complain.
The local paper should seek to find the guilty person or persons and ask them to apologise.
The QE QM should hang it's head in shame. The people in this country are simply fed up of these people who spend all of their time on bended knee to Muslims; how could they have done this.
Millions didn't fight and lose their lives for our freedom so that those who have come here to sponge of us should change our way of life.
We must get our country back.

"Me and Mr. Toad"
As mentioned in a previous post, reading kids books is one of the nicest things about glandular fever. Kids books can be easier to digest, very clever, and often gloriously silly. Which is a good thing if you have brain fog and also need some distraction from bed-bound gloominess.
I recently borrowed The Wind in the Willows from the public library, and it was great. I'm sure it was read to me as a kid, but I had forgotten most of the whimsical location, storyline, and the endearing idiosyncrasies of its 4 main characters.
At one point in the story, Mole, Ratty and Badger decide that something needs to be done about their generous, but reckless friend Mr Toad. Toad has a new obsession with new shiny motorcars that go "poop poop". However he is constantly terrorising the roads, crashing, and getting in trouble with the law. His friends decide they need to lock him in his room and keep watch over him until the addiction to speed wears off, he repents his ways and he promises to be a more humble, responsible Toad.
But Toad is a sneaky conniving amphibian and he escapes out the window. Once free, he cannot help himself from stealing a motorcar and careening off to the open road, feeling the wind rushing past his face, going faster and faster, feeling mightily pleased and congratulating himself on what a clever, daring and handsome Toad he is. It is only when he is thrown in jail that he descends into gloom and misery, bewails his ostentatious ways, and berates himself for having been so arrogant. Although when he escapes, he immediately begins composing over-the-top self-congratulatory speeches and songs again.
With chronic fatigue, discipline is the main tool needed to save up and store energy for recovery. Careful, mathematical pacing of activity is the only proven way that people have used to get better. Alhough it doesn't work for everyone, it has a much greater success rate than any magical and expensive vitamin mix on the Internet. So even if I feel healthy and strong one day, I need to rest. The rules say so. A very common thing with chronic fatigue is that the response to exercise is delayed. (This is known as post exertional malaise) . At the time you might be feeling great and having fun, and so you don't notice any subtle signals that you have done too much. Its not until the next day that you get a very clear signal that you overshot the mark. For me, I can't get out of bed and the yucky fluey feeling is coursing through my veins and hammering around inside my glands.
But, discipline is so BORING! It denies all the and fun and joy and vigour in life! When I think of "discipline" I imagine a teenage boy (sorry for genderism) on detention after school. Its a glorious sunny afternoon, and all he wants to do is run and playfight with his friends outside, kick balls and romp about being a major buffoon. But he got caught doing something naughty and rebellious in class, and now he is glowering at the teacher and feeling utterly resentful, angry and caged in. Discipline sucks!
I am like Toad, in that on days when I feel good and I get a whiff of freedom and strength, I get all self-congratulatory. "This must be it, Jen. The start of your recovery. You've hit rock bottom and it's all up from here! Well done for being so sensible and good at looking after yourself that you're getting better now! You are an awesome health machine! Wooohooo, what shall I do with all my energy tomorrow?? Watch out world!!! Poop poop!"
And then, "tomorrow", I can't get out of bed and I'm like "Jen, you complete idiot. You are like a stupid dumb monster blundering around with your eyes closed and falling into holes all over the place. How many times has this happened before? You know you need to tread carefully, because you are just too dumb to see when you're about to fall in a hole. You got too cocky, you crashed the car and you got turfed in a ditch again."
If you've broken your leg and are now wearing a plaster cast, it is to protect yourself, from yourself. It may be frustrating, but you can't break out of it without considerable effort. But when you need to impose the rigid cast of discipline on your activities, and it's not actually a real, tangible constraint, its just made-up, best-guess sort of stuff (no more than 2000 steps a day! Have a rest every afternoon!), then its really hard!
And so I thought yesterday, that I need to change my attitude towards discipline.
Not as a stupid mean old teacher putting me in unfair detention.
But as a kind and loving friend who cares about me more than anything. Like Mole, Ratty and Badger, locking obstinate old Mr Toad in his room. Discipine is kind. It helps me, it protects me, it keeps me safe. I need it.
"Discipline, my dear kind friend, may I always recognise your wisdom and your support, and be able to distinguish you from fear and imagined limitations. "
No more "poop pooping"

Jonah had every reason to be happy. He had been rescued from the inside of a great fish, given a second-chance to share the good news to people who needed to hear it from a Holy God Who had every right to leave him in the fish to die.
Further, even though it seems he half-heartedly gives a sermon to the great city of Nineveh, his few words birth a great revival in the city. He has 'fruits of his labour' right in front of him, but he isn't happy. Why?
Further, even though it seems he half-heartedly gives a sermon to the great city of Nineveh, his few words birth a great revival in the city. He has 'fruits of his labour' right in front of him, but he isn't happy. Why?
Unfortunately this is an example of what we all seem to know (maybe even personally). As the hymn-writer puts it, we are prone to wander. Jonah has a fight for his life on his hands. He is consistently going back and forth, back and forth. He, in one moment, (seemingly sincerely) surrenders to the LORD, and the very next, choosing to live his own way. Though it is not as drastic a 'run', in this section we read of Jonah running again:
Then Jonah went out from the city and sat east of it (vs. 5).
No, he hadn't run as far as the direction of Tarshish, but picture this scene. There is revival in the city. Most likely he could hear the commotion inside the city. Jonah could have had numerous opportunities to teach more truth of Who the True, Living LORD is - but instead he flees and sits under a tree. He can still see the city from where he's sitting - but he's definitely desiring to be a spectator. And yet, in walks the Main Character of the book of Jonah.
It's incredible to me how patient and understanding the LORD is. I can see Jonah loosing his temper a number of times, and yet the LORD simply, yet firmly, shares truth, yet again, with Jonah. The LORD truly is an ever-present help and consistently comes along-side Jonah; maybe some of the lessons are hard, but the LORD is certainly consistent.
Wiersbe writes, 'In chapter 1, [Jonah] learned the lesson of God's providence and patience, that you can't run away from God. In chapter 2, he learned the lesson of God's pardon, that God forgives those who call upon Him. In chapter 3, he learned the lesson of God's power as he saw a whole city humble itself before the Lord. Now he had to learn the lesson of God's pity, that God has compassion for lost sinners like the Ninevites.'
Providence & Patience. Pardon. Power. Pity. These are the themes of this book. These are the characteristics of a Holy God that Jonah needs to learn (and re-learn). These are the lessons we all need to learn! It will take much more conversation for Jonah to really come face to face with his own desire to live a holy life as the LORD calls him to live, but we don't have those conversations. The book seems to end quite abruptly.
There is only one verse remaining and it's a good one. The whole book of Jonah ends with a question - a question that we would do well to dwell on for all of our lives and see how we fit in this plan of salvation that the LORD so graciously has asked us to, mysteriously, assist Him in. So stay tuned...

READINGOld Testament: Deuteronomy 11:18-28
Psalms: Psalms 55
New Testament: Hebrews 5:1-10
Gospel: John 4:1-26
Evening Psalms: Psalms 138, 139
"When a Samaritan woman came to draw water, Jesus said to her, 'Will you give me a drink?' (His disciples had gone into the town to buy food.) The Samaritan woman said to him, 'You are a Jew and I am a Samaritan woman. How can you ask me for a drink?' (For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.) Jesus answered her, 'If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink, you would have asked him and he would have given you living water.'"
(John 4:7-10)
You never know when God will test you. This past summer one of my employees broke the law, was arrested, and sentenced to 90 days in jail. He made that choice, and he had to deal with the consequences. Human Resources wanted to terminate him. He was just a name to them. But I knew the man. I knew that he was a great and conscientious employee. I also knew that he had a family and a young daughter and that this job was an important part of any small amount of financial security he might have.
I spoke with him several times while he was in jail. He was clearly hurting emotionally. I wanted to help him, but this was hard for me. Going to battle with HR over him could have real consequences for me, my own job, and my family. So, I prayed, "God, what would you have me do?" Ultimately, I decided to take on this fight. When he had served his sentence, my employee was able to come back to work for me.
Although this episode was over, I ask myself if I would do it again. More importantly, would I take the same actions if it was just a name, and I did not know the person? I believe that would be infinitely harder for me. If this was a test from God, I credit this as an easy one. I pray that as the tests get harder, that I will accept God's living water, follow the teachings of Jesus, and act according to His will. Amen.

I think Jack Ruby was involved
The fun has just begun, folks: Osama was supposedly buried at sea.
The fun has just begun, folks: Osama was supposedly buried at sea.
Area 51?
Mr. Jack Bog is showing a great deal of disrespect to the 3000 plus innocent Americans and the military men and women who have died due to Bin Laden with his flippant mocking topics regarding the joyous execution of OBL.... You are pathetic sir....
"regarding the joyous execution of OBL"
Re-read the article, MAYBE it was Bin Laden, he was buried at sea, so we may never know.
Talk about a buried lead!
Let the conspiracy theories begin!
Is there a grassy knoll near that hideout?
Over the years, Mr. Bogdanski and I have disagreed on any number of issues, and sometimes deeply. Heck, I've lost track of the number of times I've been "banned" and "un-banned" here (though there are ways around that). However, throughout it all, ups and downs, I've taken the following approach to this blog:
The front door's open. Come in, grab a seat, and visit. Don't crap on the carpet.
Today it is you and those of your ilk that I find pathetic.
Join in, chant with me, all together now: USA! USA! USA! USA!
Oh, doesn't it make you feel great?
You're really no different from those in Gaza and elsewhere who danced in the streets on 9/11.
And personally, I ain't gonna believe Osama's really dead until Trump forces Obama to produce a long-form death certificate.
While it leaves itself open to conspiracy theories such as what we're seeing here, it's the best solution. Here's why:
• Islamic law dictates that the body needs to be disposed of as close to death as possible
• Islamic law strictly forbids cremation
• Violating Islamic law with regards to his remains would be used as 'justification' by the fundamentalists to kill more people
• Burying him somewhere on land could give rise to a shrine of some sort - being kicked out of a helicopter in a weighted burlap sack over the Arabian Sea denies the opportunity.
• Burial at sea is perfectly acceptable under Islamic law.
Buried (disposed of) at sea -- where no crazies can visit it, host vigils, or create a shrine. Good idea. Now, which is the first media source to obtain and release the pictures of the body? These will be as sought after as Obama's birth certificate.
So going "Vlad the Impaler" on the Statue of Liberty with UBL's corpse not be permitted by Islamic Law? Gee, I thought that was an option after what happen to the four marines in Iraq whose burnt remains where hung from the bridge. My bad. Need to become more PC.
Now, which is the first media source to obtain and release the pictures of the body?
I'm sure their authenticity will be beyond dispute.
where no crazies can visit it, host vigils, or create a shrine. Good idea.
Some people will believe whatever they are told.
Hope they remembered to wrap him up in the Jimmie Dean sausage casing, before feeding the fish!
I'm sure their authenticity will be beyond dispute
Really? You know how Photoshop works, right, Jack? I do, quite well thank you, and I won't believe quite that easily.
I was being sarcastic.
I was being sarcastic.
Reminder to my self: Never answer blogs before coffee!
While not a street chanter myself, I can find sympathy and support for those with USA, USA boosterism. I can find it for several reason not least of which is it is un to anti ironic (although some can surely chew it into irony).
What I did and do find repellent was the mindless boosterism of O's god-like ascension to his throne and the unprecedented and mindless support of his administration in all mainstream news media. A free press in a self-induced thrall, that's got the whiff of irony
How fitting, II, that a practitioner of bloodlust, old testament vengeance and jingoism would be revolted by a straightforward exercise of democracy.
Shark bait!
So how does this conspiracy theory work? If he isn't dead, is OBL in on it? Wouldn't he have made some sort of appearance by now if he were alive (and not in on it)?
Maybe the conspiracy is that they delayed the timing to Sunday night? Please explain, seriously.
Obama bin Laden has been dead for many years. You take it from there.
Jack, if that's the case, there have been plenty of opportunities for them to use his death as a distraction from something besides Trump's reality show. Why wait? Sorry if I'm being naive.
Probably as a fail-safe method, if the bullet didn't kill him, then the radioactivity will.
Obama bin Laden
Interesting slippage.
"Obama bin Laden
Interesting slippage."
A lot of media outlets have been making that slip, including, of course, Fox and NPR (ME) today. Some outlets have shifted to Usama bin Laden to forestall such errors. I have not yet heard "Obama bin Biden."
Let me get this straight: bin Laden was buried at sea out of respect for Muslim law, or out of concern for a shrine? Huh? Is there a word stronger than "stupid"?
If you were the US government and you killed bin Laden yesterday, would you (a)take photos and video showing his body and the location of the compound, publish evidence of DNA confirmation, and other supporting information, or
(b)attack and kill him, quickly load him into a helicopter, transport the body hundreds of miles, then quickly dump the body in the sea and issue a statement?
Mr. Jack Bog is showing a great deal of disrespect to the 3000 plus innocent Americans and the military men and women who have died
In fact, almost half of that number were not Americans, but people from many other countries working here. It's another myth of the 9/11 canon that "3000 Americans" died at the WTC.
other white meat wrote: In fact, almost half of that number were not Americans, but people from many other countries working here.
Buried at sea huh?
Do we live in a country that feeds us garbage and we eat it as if it's filet mignon?
Don't think so.
I do. But if Wikipedia's your idea of a reliable source of facts, I've got land to sell you. A chain of circular references? Brilliant.
other white meat: I spent a good long time searching for the data and the Wikipedia list was the best I could come up with. I don't contend that it's unassailable. I did find a CNN article from 2003 that put the number of foreign nationals killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks at "around 500." And many of the numbers on the Wikipedia table seem to check out -- a little Googling and you can find quite a few articles that verify the UK, Canada, India and Japan figures, which together make up the bulk of the total foreign nationals killed. But if you've got a good source that says there were actually an additional 1,000 or so non-Americans who perished in the attacks, I'd love to see it. I'm actually not invested in a particular figure. Whether it was a single American or 3,000, it was still a heinous crime. I went searching for the number because your assertion that almost half of the victims weren't Americans surprised me, and I was wondering where they all came from.

Another Perfect Day in Paradise
Woke up at 6:00 am to a beautiful pink sky.
Went back to bed (after a little drinkie)
Got up again at 8:30 and had a coffee while admiring the view (see above)
Had breakfast of freshly picked melon, proscuttio and a nectarine.
Went for a 5 mile gentle cycle, and returned to have a glass of a local chardonnay.
Went to a local vineyard for lunch; gazpacho, tasting platter of meats and olives, accompanied by an absolutely fabulous Semillon (Clearview Estate, 2010 Reserve).
On the way home, picked up a basket of nectarines right off the tree. Juice dripping off of my beard. A bit unsanitary, but delicious.
Ah well, time for my nap.
Did I mention the weather?
Cloudless, fluorescent blue sky. Gentle cooling breeze coming in off of the sea.
The hammock calls.

Might see you soon. Wer'e off up that way tommorow. Another attempt to have a nice few days away in Napier. This time we hope no close relatives will kark it like in September (When my dear 90yr old Uncle snuffed it the morning after we arrived and we beat a hasty retreat back home as being the closest next of kin I had to make all the arrangements).ReplyDelete
Hoping for a better time this time.
Good to see you so relaxed TSB!ReplyDelete
So What happenned to the old "Red sky in the morning, shepherd's (sailor's) warning".ReplyDelete
Pleased to see that you are having a nice time. I'm envious. Clearview is a nice spot with great wine (Chardonnay, yum!)
May I just echo Alistair.....SMUG GIT!!!ReplyDelete
My morning: Get up in the dark. Feel the radiators and wonder why they haven't come on yet. Stagger to bathroom. Realise, in blinding yellow glow of bathroom light that it is only 6.30am, not 7.30am.
Go back to bed. Too cold now. Get up. Go downstairs to kitchen. Boil kettle (huddling for warmth around the steam).
Yeah - I'd poke you in the eye right now if you were here. Mind you, if you were here we'd both be sitting in the semi dark.

Wish I lived in a country that produced excellent Semillon. Although we might be soon, if current trends continue.ReplyDelete
Living large!ReplyDelete
Alistair: Sorry *hehehe* Go and eat some nice nourishing and warming porridge.ReplyDelete
VG: We must have passed on the road, I'm back in sunny Silverstream now. Do try the Clearview Vinyard for some nice eats and free wine tasting. Gorgeous Semillon.
Richard [of RBB]: Thanks, I'll try and relax. Whisky and vino helps.
TC: I don'tknow. Maybeit was just a generally pink sky. It definitely didn't rain that day. I tried their Chardonnay and it was quite lovely, but their Semillon was outstanding. I could quite happily convert from red to white if all whites were as good as this. Have you tried it?
Ali X: Sorry. Been there, got the T-Shirt. I used to hate getting up in the cold dark morning in bonny ecosse. It was only the Glasgow (Dalziel's)rolls and beef ham that kept me going. That and the City Bakery mutton pies.
looby: No matter how much the climate changes, I just cannot imagine a Semillon being produced in Lancaster. It's just so wrong somehow. Goosbarry shandy maybe.
Laoch: Not large, gigantic.
Juice dripping off of my beard........don't you just hate that!!ReplyDelete
YaH: I didn't know you had a beard. It's also a bastard to get chip grease off.ReplyDelete

text: One of the things I enjoy about belonging to the Ag Committee of the Chamber of Commerce is the speakers who come to share knowledge about their part in the ag economy. At the meeting in March, Mike Frey shared some information about his dairy operation near Claremont. Like many others, Mike works hard, cares for his family and wants only the best for them, especially when it comes to wholesome food. Mike knows that the milk, cheese and yogurt available to all of their families are wholesome and high quality foods. Mike is a dairy farmer and one of the people behind the wholesome dairy foods consumers enjoy. Mike is the third generation to operate his family farm, Frey-View Dairy, near Claremont. Along with his wife and his parents, he milks 125 Holstein cows twice a day. He noted that cows don't take holiday and expect to be milked at 5 a.m. and 8 p.m., every day. On the 1,000 acre farm, corn, soybeans, wheat and alfalfa is also raised, using minimum and no-till. "Dairy farmers have been sharing their work and their passion for dairy farming with their sons and daughters for generations," said Mike. "It's their living, their way of life, and their desire to leave a legacy." Because his family lives and works on the farm, he takes seriously his responsibility to protect land, water and air. "Our land is both an investment and our livelihood. It is important to protect it for our neighbors and future generations," said Mike. In addition, cow comfort and health is carefully monitored, assisted by experts such as nutritionists and veterinarians. Because of this commitment at the dairy farm, people can count on wholesome dairy foods produced while sustaining the environment. The cows are kept on sand lots for their comfort. State inspectors regularly visit the operation to insure quality product. Milk from their operation goes to Land O'Lakes. Sixteen machines are used to milk the cows but when school kids visit, they have the opportunity to milk a cow by hand. Mike and his family enjoy the groups that tour their operation. Mike believes that living on a dairy farm develops a strong work ethic as there are always chores to be done, including having his kids work with the baby calves. In addition to learning a little about Mike and his family, we were told we could learn more about the people behind the product - dairy farmers and the milk they produce, by visiting www.midwestdairy.com or www.dairyfarmingtoday.org. There are 12 dairy operations in Brown County. Mike is a member of the Midwest Dairy Association (MDA) which is a non-profit organization that provides consumers with information about the nutrition and wholesomeness of dairy foods, and conducts research and promotional programs. Programs are financed and directed by more than 13,000 dairy producers in nine states - Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota and eastern Oklahoma. Thanks, Mike for all of the information! (For those who have enjoyed the Super Farmer contest at the Brown County Fair, Mike has been a frequent contestant.) Learn more ag statistics I had a person contact me to find out where they could find more of the ag statistics we featured in our ag week articles. It was noted that a lot of urban Internet correspondents are complaining about the price of food going up. Here are two of the sites where I was able to get information: http://www.agday.org http://www.agunited.org/

AbstractN-acylethanolamides (NAEs) are naturally occurring signaling lipids consisting of amides and esters of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. Usually they are present in a very small amounts in many mammalian tissues and cells, including human reproductive tracts and fluids. Recently, the presence of N-arachidonoylethanolamide (anandamide, AEA), the most characterised member of endocannabinoids, and its congeners palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) and oleylethanolamide (OEA) in seminal plasma, oviductal fluid, and follicular fluids was demonstrated. AEA has been shown to bind not only type-1 (CB1) and type-2 (CB2) cannabinoid receptors, but also type-1 vanilloid receptor (TRPV1), while PEA and OEA are inactive with respect to classical cannabinoid CB1 and CB2 but activate TRPV1 or peroxisome proliferator activate receptors (PPARs). This review concerns the most recent experimental data on PEA and OEA, endocannabinoid-like molecules which appear to exert their action exclusively on sperm cells with altered features, such as membrane characteristics and kinematic parameters. Their beneficial effects on these cells could suggest a possible pharmacological use of PEA and OEA on patients affected by some forms of idiopathic infertility. View Full-Text

Release Date: January 4, 2018
BUFFALO, N.Y. – Because of the severe weather forecast for Friday, Jan. 5, the gravesite commemoration celebrating the 218th anniversary of the birth of Millard Fillmore, the University at Buffalo's first chancellor and 13th president of the United States, scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. in Forest Lawn Cemetery, will be shortened to a brief wreath presentation ceremony outdoors, featuring representatives from the White House, Fillmore legacy organizations and Forest Lawn.
Afterward, participants will travel to the Wendt Center for the remainder of the ceremony, including the welcome, invocation, legacy organization comments and a presentation by Carole Emberton, UB professor of history, on "Coming to Terms with Millard Fillmore and the Fugitive Slave Act," which will explain how the act affected African-Americans living in Western New York, including a number of fugitives living in the city at the time.
Participants are being encouraged to meet at the Margaret L. Wendt Archival and Research Center in Forest Lawn Cemetery (see map) at 9:45 a.m. before being transported via trolley at 9:50 a.m.to the Millard Fillmore gravesite, located in section F on this map, for a photo op of the presentation of wreaths.
More details about the ceremony are available here: http://www.buffalo.edu/news/releases/2018/01/003.html.
This year's commemoration marks the 53rd consecutive year UB has organized the event, a tradition that dates back to 1937. From 1937 until 1964, the anniversary ceremonies were organized by Charles Templeton, a UB alumnus who worked with the city of Buffalo and the Buffalo Board of Education to program the annual events.

Ely's Second tooth and other thoughts
She pulled it out herself this time. Ely now has that adorable gap between her bottom teeth, with the lisp to go along with it.
Today she came home from school and went straight to her homework. Ari and I were blown away by how beautifully she was reading hebrew!
Busy weekend ahead - contrast to last weekend. 11 sleep over guests and a huge kiddush on Shabbat day to celebrate Ari's 41st birthday. The house is not really ready to show off, but most of me does not care! It's those one or two voices of judgement that keep me bugged, but otherwise I really just don't care.
I received a comment on my last post from an anonymous reader (which I did not allow to be posted) seemingly upset over something Ari and I did to them in the past. I think I know who it was, but can't be sure. UYO taught me to take responsiblity for my actions and I feel bad that there is someone out there that I hurt, but can't speak to me directly about it. I know I have said things to people in the past that may have hurt them, but I usually only say the truth, even when it hurts. I will continue to feel confident in knowing that I have brought more people closer to me than I have hurt in my life. I know I have made mistakes, but I also know that there are those who love me even with my imperfections.
Thinking about Thanksgiving and my very fond childhood memories!
Shabbat Shalom. Smile.

Got a nice mail message from Stanley O. Van Vleck, who wrote on 01/23/97:
I was raised on the Van Vleck Ranch 20 miles East of Sacramento. The Ranch was originally established in 1917 by my grandfather, Orin. It started as a couple hundred acres and over time has expanded to over 5,000 acres. Now, my father, brother (Van) and I share ownership.
My father still works on the Ranch 7 days a week, despite being 76 years old. Especially because 3 years ago he was in a horrible helicopter accident that left him in intensive care for 7 weeks. The crash occurred while he was working cattle with the helicopter. However, he is back working cattle with a replacement helicopter. The Van Vlecks are like a Timex watch, they take a licking and keep on...
In addition to ranchers, our family has some politicians:
My father's first cousin, Gordon VV, was President of the California Chamber of Commerce, Secretary of Resources (a Cabinet level position) for 8 years under Gov. Duekemejian. He was also president of the National Cattlemen's Association and the California Cattlemen's Assn.
My father has also served on many National and State Cattlemen's Committees as well as local government task forces.
My father's uncle, Forest VV, was mayor of the city of Placerville.
I have also dabbled in politics as well. I worked for Pete Wilson when he was a U.S. Senator on agricultural policy matters. I later worked for him on his transition team after he was elected Governor.
Before then, I worked for a local Assemblymember. In 1987 and 1988 I was Vice President and President, respectively, of the student body at Cal Poly, SLO.
In addition, I have some science background. I have a BS in Business Management, whith a minor in Chemistry. (I took the chemistry courses because I love chemistry-and most sciences.)
My chemistry background was the key difference in getting my job at this law firm back in 1989. Our firm represents chemical companies including Dow Chemical, Monsanto and Rhone Poulenc. We represent 8 out of the top 10 Ag commodities (i.e. cotton, milk, citrus...). In addition, we also represent over 6,000 grocery stores including Safeway, Luckys, and Vons.
Since 1989, most of my days have been spent at the State Capitol or a State agency fighting for one of these clients. I really enjoy it.
[Saw this online. Seems like the replacement copter failed too. Condolences to the family.]
Helicopter Goes Down Near Rancho Murieta
IONE, Calif., Posted 6:28 p.m. PDT September 7, 2000 --
A helicopter crashed southeast of Sacramento Thursday killing one person and sparking a small grass fire.
The helicopter went down in a rural area near the town of Ione. Fire crews discovered the wreckage after responding to a report of a grass fire in the area. Crews quickly got the fire under control.
Officials confirmed that the pilot was killed in the crash. He was later identified as 79-year-old Stanley L. Van Vleck. Authorities told KCRA 3 that the FAA has been called in to investigate the crash.
California State Route 16 has a section named after Cousin Stanley. According to Daniel Faigin's California Highways:
The portion of this route from Dillard Road in Sacramento County and the Amador County line is named the "Stanley L. Van Vleck Memorial Highway". Stanley L. Van Vleck was born in 1920 near Placerville, California. A third-generation Californian, he grew up on his family's homestead that was established about 1850. He later moved to a ranch in Sloughhouse, California. He had a long and distinguished career as a rancher in the Sacramento region, and served in many leadership positions in agricultural organizations at the local, state, and national level, including the California Cattlemen's Association, the California Farm Bureau, the National Flying Farmers, and the National Cattlemen's Association. He also allowed the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the California Air National Guard, the California Department of Forestry, the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department, the Sacramento City Police Department, and the Sacramento Life Flight Unit to train on his ranch. He spearheaded the creation of the Cosumnes River School District and served as the President of that district's governing board for many years. He also shared his ranch with the entire community by allowing tens of thousands of Boy Scouts, 4-H'ers, Future Farmers of America, local students, California Operating Engineers, recreationists, and families a chance to experience agriculture and open space on his ranch. He lost his life in an accident while working at his beloved Sloughhouse ranch on September 7, 2000. Named by Assembly Concurrent Resolution 4, Resolution Chapter 61, filed June 7, 2001.

You can choose whether you want to receive the first or second edition of the magazine and you can also choose the language (Dutch or English). Perhaps you can surprise a pen pal from another country
Write down the name of the one you think deserves something fun and why in the comments box. The winner will be the most funny and original response. The promotion runs until April 1, 2014. The winner will be announces in the first week of April.

Oh, the Snailmail magazines are so much fun! I love everything in your shop.ReplyDelete
If anyone deserves something fun, it's my friend, Izzy! She's busy with school and she works very hard, but she's still totally dedicated to sending out letters and notes to friends.
We live only a few streets away from each other, but we still send each other mail!
I love your blog and your shop is so much fun! My friend Audrianne really deserves fun right now! She just found out she is pregnant and her and her dog have morning sickness...he's male, lol! :-D And here I was many states away, and with a stomach bug! We are both a mess, we need some fun, ha ha! :-DReplyDelete

text: You may have noticed that I have donated five complete Brass Band sets for Octobers' Pontin's Competition................. Well................. How do you fancy your chances? Perhaps you're gonna be way off the mark and might just be better buying the music, or perhaps you think you're gonna win and might want to prepare yourself and your band for my music.......... There is a solution.............. Buy titles today!!!! With a wide selection to choose from, I realise that you may not have bought anything from me because of the dauting task of taking out that credit card or writing that cheque. But just think of it, by this time next week, you can enjoy the best of modern Brass Band music, and let's face it Scotland has bred many top-flight composers over the years! Why not buy a title that isn't in the October Pontins Competition.......I would hate for you to miss out!!! So, come on, get your band the music they deserve - don't go with the current names of the day, get yourself some real music and buy a McFadyen title now................... Or you'll have bad luck! :wink:

Give It a Rest Already!!
4 comments:
Hello Karen!ReplyDelete
Isn't it funny how often we, as mothers, think that it is a "bad" thing if we rest...that we have much too much to do...we can't possibly take a few moments to "regroup." I love how you posted about the Lord reminding us of the importance of "rest". And if our Lord thinks that it is important...who are we to argue?
Hope that you and your family have a lovely weekend...wishing your husband a "Happy Father's Day!"
Wonderfully said!ReplyDelete
With a little guilt I said to my husband, "I don't feel like doing anything today." He replied, "Well, don't! That's the wonderful thing about being retired. Relax and enjoy doing nothing." So I did and didn't even feel guilty. Smart man, that man I married.ReplyDelete
Laura, So true...total false guilt to think we ought not rest!ReplyDelete
Katy, Thank you for the encouragement. :)
Gen, Good man...you are blessed by him! I hope you enjoyed your rest!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a comment. :) It's just like opening the mailbox and seeing mail from a friend!

Protect Your Rights in a Michigan Car Accident
When you are involved in a Michigan auto accident, it is important to remember what steps to take to make sure that you protect your rights. If you are involved in a car, motorcycle, or truck accident where you or someone else was injured, always call the police and seek medical attention if it is necessary. The police not only will be able to document what damage occurred to your vehicle and what type of injuries were sustained by the parties involved, but also how the accident was actually caused. You should also call The Clark Law Office – Lansing Personal Injury Lawyers to guide through the process and improve your chances of collecting compensation for your injury.
When a person is hurt badly in an accident it is important to make sure that the police document that the accident was not your fault and was caused by the driver that was actually negligent for the auto collision. If you ever want to sue the other driver for the injuries that they caused you, a well-documented police report is one of the best resources that you can utilize to show that the injury was caused by someone else. For this reason, it is important to call the police and/or medical personal after you have been hurt in a Michigan car accident.
Medical Treatment After Your Michigan Injury
Have you been in an auto accident? Do you live in Michigan? Then you need to know what to do to make sure that your insurance company pays your medical bills. After you have been in an accident, it is paramount that you file a claim with your no-fault auto insurance carrier and submit all the medical bills that you have incurred as a result of the accident as soon as possible. I would also recommend that you call an experienced Michigan auto accident attorney to make sure you don't miss any important steps. The reason for this is simple. In Michigan, auto insurance companies are protected from paying your medical bills if you do not submit your medical bills to the auto insurance company within a year. What does this mean? This means that if you have been in an accident and received medical treatment, but do not file a claim and submit the bill to your insurance company for a year, they will not have to pay for that bill. For this reason, if you have been in an auto accident and need medical attention, submit that medical bill so that your auto accident related injuries do not go uncompensated and you receive the benefits that you deserve.

To our BarnArts Community:
December 2016
Join us in celebrating 2016 as an important year of growth in Building Community through Art for BarnArts!
- We offered our first Arts-in-Education school-time performance with The Little Prince in November. Over 300 adults and kids attended this fantastical and heart-warming show at the Barnard Town Hall.
- We produced our first Vermont Premier with the contemporary Will Eno play The Realistic Joneses, staged in an authentic-to-the-story outdoor setting at the conserved Clark Farm in Barnard.
- We initiated the first annual Artist-in-Residence program at Barnard Academy in partnership with the Barnard Education Fund and the Vermont Arts Council. Poet Marv Klassen-Landis will be doing a 6-week program with Barnard Academy K-6 graders in Feb-Apr 2017.
Building Community through Art comes in the form of access and opportunity.
As well as offering local access to quality art and performances, BarnArts provides opportunities for community participation through singing, acting and back-stage work like sound, light, and costume design. Local high school musicians strut their funk onstage with professional musicians at our annual Masquerade Jazz Funk Winter Music Carnival in March, local singers and musicians perform at our free community celebration Winter Carols each December and actors of all ages join in our community plays, three for adults plus our highly successful Summer Youth Theater program, entering its 6th year in 2017 with the first area production of The Lion King Jr.!
Your involvement in BarnArts is the key to our success.
During this annual fundraising drive, we are asking for your continued support, which keeps ticket prices low and provides life-changing opportunities for youth and adults in our community.
Please consider a year-end tax-deductible gift to BarnArts this holiday season. Your support makes a difference!
With many thanks and best wishes,
BarnArts Board: Anne Marie Delaney, Pamela Fraser,
James Mills, Arlana Ruch, Ted Williamson
Executive Director: Linda Treash


text: Over the next few months, the whole of the Mathematics building at UWA will be refurbished, including air-conditioning on the first floor, a re-design of the administration area, and an overhaul of the surrounding lecture theatres. Weatherburn LT, Blakers LT, and Maths Lecture Room 1, 2, 3 have had their blackboards ripped out, to be replaced with WHITEBOARDS (see the carnage below). I have already given my reservations about this exchange and lost the battle, and I am sure we will regret this move … alas.

Walking at lunchtime, working out the ache after sitting too long in a long (but interesting) meeting, I became aware of the colours around me. I decided the colour of our city was terracotta (and shades thereof) and blue. Cerulean. Like the colours of the kotare – the kingfisher. I really like the colour combinations, especially when blended nicely with the pearl coloured light we sometimes get here.
I lived for a while in London and I think the colours of London are red and black. Not everything in London is red and black, of course, but to me there is a recurring theme – a kind of musical beat of red and black, with other colours playing their role in the orchestration.
I think Umberto Eco would try to convince me that this day dreaming in a haze of colour represents a subconscious attraction to the medieval – a quest for our roots. He argues we've been questing for the Middle Ages since the late fifteenth century. That's when they ended. I think the middle ages start the day you turn 18, but then I don't have a book about medieval monks to try to sell. Yet. I think Umberto is stuck in a eurocentric time warp – out here on the rim I'm more worried about fire and ice, terracotta and cerulean.
What colour is your city?

Zap nets Manchester City deal
Zap will be launching a special FA Cup Winners duvet design to celebrate Manchester City's recent win, as it looks to grow its football portfolio even further this year.
The company has what it describes as a 'Big 5 Premiership Portfolio', which includes Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton, as well as Manchester City - all with a wide range of co-ordinating products.
"We are thrilled to have Manchester City in our Premiership portfolio, which continues to perform well at retail," said Zap's sales director, Mark McDonnell. "Interest in the club is high at the moment and we are launching a Cup Winners deisgn to celebrate their recent success.
"In addition, Manchester United has just won the Premier League for the 19th time. Together with the three other major clubs - Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton - our multi-club strategy is proving to be equally successful off the pitch, with key retailers Sports Direct and Kitbag leading the way in football merchandise."
Recent additions include junior panel print duvet sets and bundle packs complete with duvet and pillow, plus football supporter's packs including duvet and pillowcase set, fleece blanket, printer velour towel and cushion.
Zap's licensing and marketing director, Andy Downie, added: "The addition of Manchester City to our portfolio is a fantastic opportunity and will only help build on our football base."

After talking for the last two days about the home office it seems appropriate to talk about what makes a home business viable for the creative ones of us plus it coinicides with the day Artfire kicks into high gear.
It would be very hard, if not impossible, for so many of us to have our little businesses if it wasn't for the internet and sites like Ebay, Etsy and Artfire.
They give us a place to sell our wares and let us reach around the world.
It amazes me that my patterns can go to all corners of the world in the space of a week, I still have a hard time wrapping my mind around it.
Ebay has been around for quite a while now and while it's a great tool the prices have risen considerably. Etsy is still relatively new and seems to me to have been created for artists and creative types and my only gripe is that sellers of mass produced supplies which tend to sell the most and bring in Etsy the most money appear to win disputes over the artists. But Etsy does seem to attract more of the serious handmade businesses...and let me explain what I mean there....
Sites like Etsy allow the hobby artist to sell their work too, which is great, however, hobby artists tend to under price their work because it is their hobby and they don't have to pay the bills with what they make. This devalues the work of everyone who is struggling to make ends meet with their home business.
Artfire's launch today of the new flat lifetime rate of $5.95 a month (for those who opted in) is encouraging and hopefully will make them more known and increase the traffic on the site. The price can't be beat, I pay three to four times as much at Etsy but after looking at the prices of the beadwork there, it's discouraging. Obviously a lot of hobbyists sell their wares on Artfire, probably because of their free program.
So what is a designer/entrepreneur to do?
I figure I'll maintain both stores for six months and see which one does the best then review it. It is my experience that unless you work your store along with Facebook, sales and growth will be slow.
What will you do?

I am having a lot of trouble with my internet for the past few days.
They should be repairing it tomorrow.
The phone company could not find the problem.
I found it for them late last night.
The phone line is being nice to me right now, so I am going to see if I can quickly post some of the pictures, that I took a Groom Expo, of some of the wonderful grooms we saw during the contests.
I hope you enjoy the picture show.
The pictures don't do these dog justice.
They were gorgeous in person.
Now, if only the dogs that came into our shops to be groomed had coats like the dogs in these pictures. :)
So far so good.
The internet has not crashed on me yet tonight.
I probably just jinxed myself.
So I will stop before I lose everything.
I hope to have the internet fixed tomorrow. :)
Happy Grooming, MFF

When we thought the issue had finally been laid to rest, Emma Nyra confirmed she was indeed abused by now married, soon-to-be father and former manager/label boss, Ubi Franklin of Triple MG.
Emma Nyra declined to give details of the abuse by saying she cared about Ubi Franklin and his career and she also does not want to be called or termed as the face of 'Woman Abuse'.
Definitely another intriguing and 'must-watch' episode of 'Da Chat' with Zinnia on HFtv Africa.

Did Chris Give Up Again?
March has been dead. On the 1st he posted another damn Skylanders video. He can't claim that his Skylanders stuff is popular because the views for that video are crap. Maybe now is the time to retire the toys. I mean, he retired everything amiibo related (including that blog), how about adding Skylanders to that list. Especially when you made it clear that you don't like any of the games after the first, complaining about "gimmicks" and you just want simple & stupid. Maybe that's why views are down too?
Then nothing nothing nothing until March 15th when he posted another art book "review". This one about The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I normally don't cover those because it's always the same thing. Chris looks through the book, says the pictures are cool, says there's text, and that fans of the game would probably like it. It's always obvious that he never actually played the game in question (though in the case of Fable Legends, nobody will play that game).
This is all just Chris selling out hard. He has no content, so he shills products most people likely won't buy. Despite what some people claim, selling out isn't "making money making internet videos", that's just capitalism. Chris making videos to promote garbage, that's selling out. He can't even get brand deals like Audible or Crunchyroll, who work with countless YouTube channels to promote their services, and those people always save the promotion for the end of the video. They don't make separate videos where the sole purpose is to shill the product or service.
Also, Chris claimed in the video that it's "review week" on his channel. .... He only posted one video. That's not a review week! Hell, shouldn't "review week" be YOUR JOB! Posting something every week?! God how dense are you?
The upcoming IG video better be like 12 minutes long. If it's short like the Excitebike video, then I know he's full of crap.

Another contemptible Bores cock up gone by. In the meantime, I shall tend to the new Fire Emblem: Fates. Bring on all that you can throw at me, RNG!ReplyDelete
At this point, I think Crisbo is just trying to prove that he just doesn't care. He wants easy money, but wants to do so little. That's not how it works, Crisbo!ReplyDelete
As for me, I'm going to the Splatfest...de gesso!
Crisbo. Hmm. I like it.Delete
This comment has been removed by the author.Delete
My TV is sadly broken.Delete
I'm going to log back into the Splatfest soon too; since I don't want to get too hooked on Pokkén Tournament, at least not yet (just cleared the Green League, going to keep practicing on single battles before the Blue League).Delete
Why do his fans continue to defend his behavior?ReplyDeleteReplies
'Cause they're just like him.Delete
That's like asking why some people continue to defend Trump's behavior.Delete
Or Sanders and Clinton.Delete
No political bullshit.Delete
"Friends who want t o stay friends Don't talk about religion or politics."Delete
Blame PhantomDelete
Well you certainly made no attempt to tell him yourself.Delete
@ HunterDelete
Aaaaalright, no politics. I was going to stop there anyway.
A recent Robot Chicken episode had a sketch about Skylanders (specifically Trap Team). Any thoughts?ReplyDeleteReplies
Well, it's Robot Chicken. They were bound to do it eventually.Delete
And still, it is animated better than Bores.Delete
Though I have a feeling Bores would gush over the skit. Because Skylanders.Delete
And speaking of Bores, I shouldn't be surprised if he took so long to release a new game review... and it ended up being another NES classic and lasting well under 10 minutes. (If he goes after SMB 1 or 3, I think we'll be pissed. Especially considering what he did 8 and a half years ago to SMB 2 and how he treated it unfairly.)
Off topic:ReplyDelete
Well, the twelfth North American Splatfest has come to an end, and the results were super narrow.
Despite Team Snowman having a higher popularity as I formerly thought (53%-47%), Team Sandcastles secured more victories (52%-48%). In the end, Sandcastles only won by 18 points (359-341).
On a side note, was anyone else having connection issues on a semi-regular basis? It seemed like every few matches I would lose connection and have to group up with a different team.
Also, despite not being the more popular team, there were at least three matches where my team would be pitted against another Sandcastle group. Did this also happen with Team Snowman, I wonder?Replies
I had those connection issues too. I was never mirror-matched though, must have been lucky.Delete
I also had connection issues (like, oh, say, my FIRST FRIGGIN MATCH!!!) and, yes, as a Team Snowman player (SNOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW), I had mirror matches occasionally! Other than that, the Splatfest was fun.Delete
Oh, and by the way, I think the Great Zapfish took a one hour break last night.
I had no mirror matches at all. Heard on /ink/ that it may have something to do with the brackets.Delete
Off-topic, but I'm thinking of getting Fire Emblem Fates. But which one should I get? For reference, I'm thinking of siding with Hoshido.ReplyDelete
@Ixey5 It depends on your taste with previous FE games. Do you prefer games that plays just like Awakening (Birthright), or do you prefer a more challenging experience of Pre-Awakening games (Conquest)?Delete
...Umm. Sorry, but could you elaborate?Delete
Basically, do you prefer modern or retro Fire Emblem?Delete
With Hoshino being modern and Nohr being retro.
Personally, I would go with Hoshino, story-wise. No offence to Nohr, but what the developpers have promised to not be an evil story turned out to be this actually. So, I would rather wait until I've beat the Hoshino story.
Sorry if I sound dumb, but I was asking in terms of gameplay mechanic. What's the difference between the two (or three)?Delete
@Ixey5 Well, they are pretty much 2 completely different games, save for the first 6 chapters. Nohr has no overworld map and you must go directly from one chapter to another with nothing in-between, similar to traditional FE games. Hoshido does have an over world map, like Awakening, which means you can level grind and stuff. Nohr also has more difficult mission objectives instead of all of them simply being 'defeat all enemies' like in Awakening.Delete
It's kinda late, but I already picked up Birthright. Thanks anyway!Delete
By the way, Sacred Stones also had a world map.
Chris Bores is going the way of Style the Pickup Artist.ReplyDelete
It's hard to believe that when this blog first started, the biggest problem with Chris Bores was his terrible retro reviews. How times have changed.ReplyDelete
Also, if you look at the comment section some his videos, people in 2015 were STILL leaving comments like "it's okay to like both Irate Gamer and AVGN." Enough said.Replies
Chris did give up, and quite honestly, so did the people on this blog. At this point, I think Chris will disappear from YouTube by the end of the year. He won't announce it; he'll just stop posting, and this blog will go with it.Delete
His channel died a long time ago. That doesn't mean he won't post videos but it will be along the lines of his shockingly bad tech and app reviews. You know, the stuff he gets from review shill sites like Amazon Review Club. (On a side note, that is how he rationalized his claim that he was "asked" to review an item.)Delete
His channel still brings him a very modest amount of money and by his own admission his finances are tight. He needs every little bit of income he can get. His wells are drying up though. He has lost any chance of being a success in the gamer community, YouTube is over saturated with games and tech reviewers, his book sales have plummeted and at some point the money he makes from doing ghost tours at the Collingwood Arts Center is going to stop coming. In fact, it may have already stopped. There hasn't been a ghost hunt on the Collingwood Art Center's event calendar since November 1st of last year and as of now there are none scheduled for the rest of 2016. See for yourself: http://www.collingwoodartscenter.org/events
Every product he makes is doomed to be mediocre because his work ethic is mediocre.
Oh, and theirategamer.com has not been updated in over a month. Chris himself has not written any articles since February 12th and a user named 0wlbundy who has been writing for the site has also apparently given up.Delete
That's the thing with Crisbo; Where he goes, motivation dies.Delete
Toonz, the animation software used by Studio Ghibli films and Futurama, is going open source:ReplyDelete
Very exciting.Replies
From what I heard, open source and free.Delete
I've never used it, I'm not sure how well it works for amateurs. With any luck we'll see some good indie animation projects, thought I think most potential creators would've already been using Flash or Anime Studio (or whatever else is popular these days)
follow-up to the comments on the last post, regarding Jim Sterling vs. Digital Homicide:ReplyDelete
I listened to the interview on YouTube. I figured I'l probably listen to ten minutes and get bored. It succeeded in capturing my attention with the sheer lunacy.
I actually thought Jim came off a little condescending right off the bat. His reaction that he was talking to an adult instead of a child as he expected, it was an obvious jab and a little premature.
Then the dude from DH acted like a child for over an hour an a half.
He can't make a single point. Even when he frames a question without any context and demands a no-context answer, constantly interrupting until he gets exactly the answer that he thinks proves his point, he somehow manages to do more damage to his own argument.
I said something like this in the last post, this guy is the Irate Gamer of Indie Devs. He's delusional about the quality of his work and the nature of his critics.
And now they're trying to sue him for $10.76 million dollars. I wish these guys would just man up and move on, but since that's clearly not going to happen at this point, I hope the swiftly get their asses handed to them with this BS lawsuit.
I'm not even a fan of Sterling. this is I've heard of him and I'm not initially impressed (except for his performance in the interview, he has a lot more patience that I do).Replies
I think my favorite part was when the DH dude used a sound clip from one of Jim's reviews.Delete
From the sound of it, Jim was talking about a game where he's a mad scientist who's creating an army of sub-human creatures to do his evil bidding. Again (as if this needed any clarification), this is something he's doing in a video game, not real life.
The developer presented this as hard evidence that Jim was rallying his fans to literally attack the members of DH in real life.
Definitely another case of #WTFU right there.Delete
I don't follow Jimquisition either, but I highly doubt he would tell his fans to attack the company over their below-average games. *coughdayonegarrysmodcough*
I believe you mean Day One Gary's Incident, Andrew. Gary's Mod is awesome.Delete
Those sociopaths from Digital Homicide are still at it? Haven't they learned at this point? Especially since one time, Jim deliberately delayed reviewing one of their games to prove that, yes, he had nothing to do with the negative reception they get. Those guys really need to learn to take criticism... and so do others.Delete
@Hunter - My apologies. Somehow, I got the two mixed-up...Delete
Another Tuesday of nothing. Well, I got my ticket to Dawn of Justice on Thursday; now back to watching the original 1978 Superman on SyFy and playing Pokkén Tournament. See you all Friday.ReplyDelete
Hello. I go by Flathead Sam on YouTube. When I saw that IG was reviewing Skylanders toys in the colors of Autism Speaks, it bothered me considering that the organization does NOT help autistic people at all, like how PETA does not help animals either. So, I tried to be nice and say that to him, but he called me a liar and told me to fuck off. You guys can check out the comments under Flathead Sam if you wanna see for yourselves.ReplyDeleteReplies
Come to think of it, didn't Mr. Enter criticize that organisation?Delete
But that's odd. The comments responding to you seem to have been removed. Or at least I can't see them.
Oh, and in the description, he said that he "hit a few snags" regarding the newer IG episode. Anyone believe that?
That's the fake IG. I really should make a post explaining that...Delete
Pretty sure there's more than one fake IG.Delete
A while back I was getting emails from people claiming to be IG offering me money to take over development of the Irate Gamer Game. Using readnotify I discovered these emails were coming from AZ and WA.
Later I got emails from Bores's real email address, with a disclaimer that it was being sent with a free trial of an anonymous email service. Probably the same people.
Maybe it's the same person, maybe not.

Handling Personal Injury Cases Nationwide

- Funds for forensic computers
- Fund awards
- Retirements of volunteers

Law enforcement is an important part of our community safety to protect our loved ones, friends and family. With the ever-present risks of unstable folks in our community, we can always count on those of Bellevue Police Department and other law enforcement organizations to protect our friends and family in times of need.
Special Dedication to the Hispanic Community
Mr. Kornfeld has a working understanding of Spanish and is active in his assistance of Hispanic clients to navigate the legal system. Rob lived in Chiapas, Mexico as an exchange student and has a special affinity to assist Hispanics through their legal challenges.
In fact, one of Rob's boys is bilingual. Both have volunteered to support Hispanic cultural and other related causes. Rob has taken a special interest in the Hispanic community helping injured individuals to recover compensation for their injuries and reimbursement of unpaid medical bills and wage loss.
Personalized Representation that Understands Your Needs
As a Seattle personal injury attorney who has personally experienced the pain, anxiety, and distress of a serious injury (read Rob's Personal Injury Story), Rob understands the challenges you and your family may now face.
He too was seriously injured in a collision in July 1985 and personally experienced some of the very same obstacles, which you may be facing today.

Buck the Film
I didn't know when I would be lucky enough to see this documentary on Buck and his life and training "techniques". However, if you have a Netflix subscription you can now see it on Netflix streaming (and probably DVD). Even if you aren't a horsey person I would recommend watching this film. The unbelievable hardship and abuse that Buck overcame in his own life is remarkable and inspiring. He has a lot more to offer to the world than just training horses and starting colts.
Buck... I pray with all my heart that you know Jesus in this world and next.
