DAILY NEWS: Sloss' Transformation; DC Fest Plans; Paying for Online News

>> Sloss's Cinetics, Consulting Firm Seeks Indie Film-Int'l Financing Pacts
(indieWIRE/04.03.01) — Last week, Sloss Law, the New York law film headed up
by indie film attorney, producer's rep and executive producer John Sloss,
sent out cards to the film community with the announcement: "We're heading
west…," though only to West 25th street. They also announced the formation
of Cinetic (rhymes with kinetic) Media, "a consulting firm, specializing in
entertainment project finance and producer's representation." The new
division is a reconfiguring of Sloss Special Projects, and will be managed
by Micah Green for Sloss Law — also announced last week was the elevation
of attorney Paul Brennan to partner at Sloss. While other Cinetic division
staffers include Matt Littin and Erin Heidenreich.
Contrary to a recent Variety piece that dubbed the division "a full-fledged
indie financing company," Micah Green told indieWIRE yesterday, "That's not
what we're doing. Cinetic Media is a consulting firm. Our agenda is to
represent financiers of films, as opposed to films, and guide them through
the American film market, finding them projects and partners."
Currently, Cinetic couldn't confirm any specific international relationships,
but it is planning to close deals at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival next
month. In a similar arrangement, Sloss's office recently brought together
companies like Clear Blue Sky ("The Luzhin Defense") and IFC Prods. ("Our Song") to finance Victor Nunez's latest film, "Coastlines." "We're going to do more and more of that for an expanded slate of consulting clients,"
explained Green. "It's the opposite model of producer repping: rather than
sign up a project and look for financing, we're going to deliver the
financing to the project."
John Sloss has executive produced numerous films, including "Boys Don't
Cry" and "Hamlet." At this year's Sundance Film Festival, the company
brokered distribution deals for top sellers such as "The Deep End," "Super
Troopers," "Raw Deal," and more recently "The Business of Strangers," and while unannounced as of yet, an imminent pact for Richard Linklater's
"Waking Life." [Anthony Kaufman]
>> International Fare and Subiela Top DC Film Festival
(indieWIRE/04.03.01) — Celebrated Argentine director Eliseo Subiela will be
highlighted at the 15th Annual Washington, DC International Film Festival
running April 17-29 in the capital city. Subiela, whose work includes "Las
Aventuras de Dios" (2000) and 1997's "Pequenos Milagros" is considered one
of the world's masters of cinema. Opening the thirteen day festival is
the Mexican/Spanish film, "Compassionate Sex" by Laura Mana at the Lisner Auditorium followed by an opening night gala in the Atrium of the World
Bank, hosted by local NBC anchor, Arch Campbell.
Included on the extensive roster for this year's event are over 100 features,
documentaries and shorts as well as film favorites from previous years. New
films will be screened from Argentina, the U.K., China, France, Germany,
India, Italy, Japan, Lebanon, Poland, Sweden, Tunisia and Turkey along with
a 3-D version of the classic film, "House of Wax," (1953) by Andre De Toth.
Additional free programs include Filmfest DC for Kids. The complete listing
for that highlight as well as the complete festival catalog will be inserted
in The Washington Post on Friday (April 13th). [Brian Brooks]

>> With Brill Merger, Inside.com is Latest Site Eyeing Paid Content
(indieWIRE/04.03.01) –Apparently the future of film and entertainment news and information online is no longer free for some sites. A trio of leading websites have eabandoned free content of late. Yesterday, Inside.com parent Powerful Media announced a merger with Brill Media, while both Variety.com and ScreenDaily.com have undergone significant changes.
Inside.com launched less than a year ago as a would-be competitor with the
traditional Hollywood trades, Variety and Hollywood Reporter. It quickly
gained awareness as it added editors and writers from other leading
publications. But yesterday, in announcing the deal, Brill Media Holdings
CEO Steven Brill declared, "This will be a traditional print business
selling quality content at premium prices." The Inside.com site is expected
to include some free content, but the company is set to charge for most of
its articles and services.
The move is consistent with last month's decision by Variety to charge for
all of its content. A site redesign resulted in the publication adopting a
subscriber-only service online. Meanwhile, ScreenDaily.com, the daily news
service version of Screen International, announced the suspendion of its
free service last week. A survey sent to readers over the weekend seems
aimed at restoring the news for paid subscribers only, even though the
site was recently updated with free news content. [Eugene Hernandez]

Such potency, however, came at the apparent expense of relatively frequent injection site reactions (23% of patients), with an additional skin reaction seen outside the area of injection. Moreover, there was a trend towards elevated liver enzymes, a marker of liver toxicity, including one that was adjudicated a serious adverse event (SAE; ~4x ULN deemed mild severity).

Injection Site Reactions and Liver Toxicity Emerge as Major Issues for GalNAc-siRNA Technology
Such potency, however, came at the apparent expense of relatively frequent injection site reactions (23% of patients), with an additional skin reaction seen outside the area of injection. Moreover, there was a trend towards elevated liver enzymes, a marker of liver toxicity, including one that was adjudicated a serious adverse event (SAE; ~4x ULN deemed mild severity).
15 comments:
I know this post addresses ALNY TTR but how does the potency of GalNac siRNA compare to ARWR's DPC conjugation generally? Is ARWR precluded from GalNac formulation development?
- November 14, 2014 at 1:08 PM
As Regulus 101 uses a similar GalNac technology, can the adverse events be expected to be similar, or is this not a problem because of the limited doses of Rg 101 administered.
- November 14, 2014 at 2:37 PM
- Dirk Haussecker said...
You got it right, RG-101 will not involve a demanding dosing schedule as ALN-TTRsc. Having said that, I expect that if AEs emerge for RG-101, it will be along the lines of ALN-TTRsc though milder in severity, and keep in mind, RG-101 is not a chronic therapy. My expectation is 2 doses max spaced 1 month apart.
- November 15, 2014 at 4:56 AM
Dirk, You've integrated disparate contradictory new knowledge into your analysis, once again. I'm impressed. In my humble opinion you now have a 25% rating vis a vis McCamant. You've done so well in this field I would be foolish to offer you advice, and so I'll only offer an old general adage that I have found to be true: The first million is the hardest to make. Best Wishes.
- November 15, 2014 at 8:12 AM
Considering Arcturus is getting comparable knock down at 0.3 mg/kg, has shown no DLTs up to 50 mg/kg, and is talking about once a month treatments v multiple injections with painful reactions on a weekly basis... I would expect that the TTR market is heading into a major shake up.
- November 15, 2014 at 11:50 AM
If the ALNY GalNac-sirna delivery is so adverse then the downstream effect for RGLS can't be great one would assume.
Yet it is RGLS which was able to raise the needed capital and fully enrol for its upcoming trials. Which kind of negates any concerns an investor would have because of the regulatory approval required to get to that point.
Which brings us back to the question of why does Benitec have such a stringent control on its trial? The upshot being only two patients have been dosed. The second conveniently on the eve of the annual meeting.
My conclusion; it is because of serious toxicity concerns from the FDA.
- November 15, 2014 at 4:05 PM
It's much more likely that the stringent protocol is about the irreversibility of the Benitec ddRNAi infusion. Off target effects being the risk. NHPs recieved excessive amounts of TT-034 without toxicity.
- November 16, 2014 at 8:12 AM
What is all this fuss about AE? All the AE were transient and returned to baseline level while the dosing continued. TTRsc continues to move into P3. It is not like TKMR-EBOLA which was halted by FDA. Issue with TTRsc is not AE or potency but clinical end points. There is a hotchpotch of a number of clinical end points to measure the clinical efficacy of TTRsc. This will make it more complicated to measure the clinical efficacy in FAC patients.
- November 16, 2014 at 9:00 AM
Second patient dosed, future patients much easier to source, toxicity issues are a feint and not a hint of FDA issue with toxicity. Fact is the protocol is rightly stringent, this is ddRNAi not siRNAi or antisense. In other words it is the real deal and NHP extensive toxicity testing points to safety not being an issue and efficacy hinted by 2nd cohort. How long can you afford to sit out the most promising and exciting RNAi platform that is soon to show validation. You liked RGLS 150% one day gain? Prepare for 150-300% when 3rd patient data flows and/or Calimune reports. Good luck all Benitec shorts or sideline sitters, you're going to need it. Keep sitting on TKMR and RGDO and kiss your cash goodbye.
- November 16, 2014 at 5:25 PM
"How long can you afford to sit out the most promising and exciting RNAi platform that is soon to show validation."
Until it is validated. Should be able to open their own lab when they do. Might even be able to challenge Voyager over patent rights.
- November 17, 2014 at 1:00 AM
DRNA news today sounds the death knell for BLT.
- November 17, 2014 at 7:42 AM
Maybe you can enlighten us and expand on this silly non-supported statement re:BLT. What's your reasoning and the facts that support it. Very sad effort on your part.
- November 17, 2014 at 8:34 AM
Attendance at their presentation on Wednesday will reveal all the warts I expect.
Should be good to see how far they have come in such a lengthy period of time and how far they still have to go before they can be validated.
- November 17, 2014 at 12:35 PM
As usual Dirk you are quick to ignore facts and jump to conclusions that suit your own personal (albeit distorted) agenda.
Ever consider the that AE profile seen might be related to the fact that this is a patient population with symptoms of advanced heart failure and related comorbidities?

Anyone can pair wine with foie gras or caviar. But what about Hot Pockets? Or a Big Mac? What wine goes best then? Local blogger Courtney Rich has the right bottle for those and more.
For the past year and a half, Rich's site QuitWINEing.com has taken everyday foods—from Chinese egg rolls to red velvet cake—and matched them up with the stellar wines she comes across via her day job as a wine manager for a Strip property.
Certified by the International Sommeliers Guild and Quarter Masters, Rich has a well-trained palate that has been exposing readers to the nuances of vintages usually reserved for gourmet ingredients, but in a more accessible manner. Coming from a household that wasn't big into wine ("The most we had in our house was jug wine," she admits) probably works to Rich's advantage. Rather than being committed to preconceived notions of what wine can and cannot go with, Rich "wanted to make [people] comfortable and make them feel like, OK, although it is a serious subject, you can have fun and experiment."
The blog has turned out to be a success for her, and almost therapeutic. Rich plans out the food and wine pairings, gets her own costumes, props and bottles together, and goes into the studio where a photographer friend, Jared McMillan, captures her enacting silly scenes.
When it comes to the entries, QuitWINEing reveals a side of Rich that is nostalgic and often funny. "All the stories come naturally," she says. "I never walk into it thinking I'm going to be sentimental for this particular pairing or funny for another. I let my feelings guide me, whether it was something that was evoked during the sampling of the food and wine, or when I sit down to write the post."
Her debut entry was the Big Mac, which surprisingly ended up being devoured with riesling. She discusses her holiday naughty-and-nice list in terms of potatoes au gratin and Chianti. And then there's the post about blueberry pancakes and brachetto, in which she talks about her love for not only wine paired with sweet things, but for her grandmother.
"Reading this post still brings tears to my eyes," she says. "The early years of my life were like a roller-coaster ride. Just when I thought I was going in one direction, we took a sudden turn in another direction. My grandmother was my safe haven. I wanted to honor her and express my gratitude. As I sat on her lap that day in the studio, we both teared up. Not only was I afraid of being too big and hurting her, it also brought us back to that place when I was her 'special girl.' It was truly a beautiful moment."
Rich recently launched a new section on her site called Occasional WINEing. Instead of pairing dishes with wine, she's taken the liberty of selecting which is best to drink for a bubble bath or stalking an ex on Facebook.
"I love wine with all my heart," Rich says, evidenced by the fact her eyes light up whenever she speaks about it. Ultimately, the blog is for her and other people's pleasure, not about making money or how many people she has following her. "I care more about having an experience with you, not about the number of hits my site gets this month. If you are having fun and I am putting out quality work that only two people enjoy—that is fine."

It's been over a year since my last post about Japanese car names.
I'd say it's about time for another post!
Lately I've been noticing a lot of cars with Spanish-sounding names. Is this a trend in Japan, I wonder? Or a worldwide trend? It made me think. Off the top of my head, I can think of the Kia Rio, the Nissan Maxima, and the Chevy El Camino in the states. You'll see what I found in Japan.
Another thing I wanted to mention… In Japan, they definitely market certain cars to women. See here:
But what makes a car a "feminine" car? So-called feminine colors like pink and light blue? Room for kids and shopping bags in the back? A storage box under the seat for baby/kid toys and food? The way they market this car is like… You will become a stylish super-mom if you buy it. If I was a man and saw this advertisement, I would definitely not feel like this car was being marketed to me.
I have to wonder how many guys have bought themselves a pink Honda Life Diva?
Now you probably noticed that a lot of the cars are quite boxy and not really aerodynamic. The truth is that they don't need to be in Japan. The average speed limit on roads within towns in Japan is 40km/25mi per hour. It is maddeningly slow sometimes. And speed limits on highways are only 50-60km/31-37 mi per hour. So it's perfectly okay if all cars in Japan are pretty much boxes on wheels! It's the norm.
I'm going back the US next month and I will be able to drive my own car for the first time in 2 years! I imagine it will feel great, having my own wheels and freedom. I haven't driven a car in a year, though, so I will have to get used to driving again. And there's the added factor of remembering NOT to drive on the left-hand side of the road.
So that's all I had to say about cars. But I have a few more things to show you…
This is my favorite tour bus in the Hirosaki area.
It says: Highway Baron S2003
Ride The Highway Baron And
Enjoy The Scenery From On High
Happiness Wrapped in a Sense
Of Superiority, Riding Around
The Country On A Dream.
Lastly, cars in Japan aren't the only thing to have cool/strange names. Bicycles get in on this too! Random English everywhere!
My bicycle is a Que Sera.
This blog post would not have been possible without the help of random English (and other languages) appearing everywhere in Japan! It certainly makes life interesting.

April Week One
Saturday, April 04, 2009
Not a whole lot to share this week, but I do want to tell you guys how sore I am. Ok, I really did not understand that walking out side is so much more intense than the treadmill! The weather was really nice this week and I decided to take my workouts to the outdoors. It was great! The sun was shining the wind was blowing. I loved it. The first day I walked and even ran at some points. The second day too!! It was so exhilarating. Until the pain came! OMG!! My legs are extremely sore. Everything from the waist down aches. I can barely walk and it is just horrible to sit and stand. It is soooo funny. Now I do this on the treadmill all the time and I never have the reaction. I have just been laughing at myself. So, I am determined to walk and run until it no longer hurts. I really felt the burn and I loved it. I had to leave for a trip briefly so I didn't go today, but if I were home I would. You know I will be right back out there on Monday. I got some new training shoes and I am armed with determination. I will hit that pavement over and over. I push myself harder when I am out there. Also, it is not all flat ground. There are some nice inclines and rugged areas, which make for a great workout.
I gotta say, I am glad that I love exercising. Normally if something hurts me I stop. But, I am not giving up that easily. I have a goal and I am going to reach it. I want to run a 5K! I am telling the world. I decided it at the beginning of the year. This year I am going to run a 5K, so I am starting to train now. Have any of you done it? How was it? How did you train? Inquiring minds want to know. Love you Sparkfriends!!!

What an amazing goal! I really admire you for having such an intense and rewarding goal. Unfortunately, I haven't ever run a 5K. I don't think I ever will. I know it would be too hard on my knees. Maybe someday I'd like to start jogging. I've never jogged and it would be nice to be in enough shape to jog.

I ran the Jacksonville River Run four times, that was when I was younger. I have not did that in years, but you have motivated me to run the river run again. Therefore in 2010 March I will run that river run for the blessings it will give me and that is to be healthy and hve the ability to use my legs.

Izuru Hino (日野 いずる)Izuru Hino is a girl who used to live on Gada Island with Ginga. She is the former Gadam.
Hino's family moved to the island to help the people by creating a map. She then met Ginga, a girl born on the island. Ginga didn't like Hino, because her rich family roots and what her family was doing to the island. Hino showed Ginga that she could protect herself with the Aikido she learned from her grandfather. They became friends and defeated an aligator together, earning them warrior status among the tribe.
Hino always speaks in a polite and proper manner. Which has her admired by a majority of the male student body. Hino, however isn't experienced in romantic relationships and turns them down, stating that being on a island has made her a slow bloomer. Hino always keeps herself calm and level headed, never shown to have fits of anger. Especially in a fight where Aikido needs the user to be have a calm mindset.
Prior to coming Japan Hino was the greatest warrior in the Gigi Tribe and given the honorary title Gadam. The Gadam's duty is to protect the island from poachers and intruders. Hino was considered by Sora to be light brown which is a mixture of yellow (defense), light red (attack), and light blue (speed) marital artist.

Not only do we offer them occasionally ourselves (Ayres Hotel & Spa Mission Viejo and Ayres Hotel & Spa Moreno Valley anyone?), but we also love to share them amongst ourselves. I've often heard a high pitched "Ooooo. Look at what you can get on Groupon today!" around the office (and that's just from the guys). Suffice it to say there are some Groupon groupies wandering around the Ayres community! Carol Morrisey, Sales Manager at Ayres Hotel & Spa Mission Viejo, segued her love for Groupon into POLO LESSONS of all things (3 lessons for $69.00! Gotta love it!). Carol says, "It was such a thrill getting my athletic competitive side out. I really did quite well! The setting was beautiful and I am now hooked." Although word has it from Carol herself that the "hooked" part didn't come from the delicious smell of sweaty horses alone but from the delicious and handsome convertible Bentley driving gentleman who asked Carol to attend his polo club in Poway with him. She will be there in two weeks! Groupon to polo to polo loving mystery man. Apparently Groupon and Ayres Hotels make a magical match!

I don't know why I say it, but I do. Every single time. Anytime I eat something that is almond flavored I utter the phrase. Over and over again. Like I am some kind of expert. Like I do it all the time. As if I am so familiar with it that I couldn't be any more sure of myself. Without fail.
The second I bite into anything with even the most obscure hint of almond I can't help but remark, "It tastes JUST LIKE wedding cake!" Maybe it does, you say. Perhaps I know, and it is a fair comparison. But I don't. I wouldn't have the slightest clue what wedding cake tastes like. I started to think about it last night and I can't tell you a single wedding I have been to in my memory that I have eaten the cake. I just don't do it. I didn't even eat my own wedding cake, not even one year later on my anniversary because I didn't want to figure out how to get the top layer from New Orleans to DC where I was living at the time.
Why don't I eat the cake? It isn't because I don't like cake, or because I can't squeeze anymore food into an already snug dress. It has to do with my moves. I am a dancing machine and weddings are the prime place to strut my stuff. By the time the cake is cut I am already full from the dinner (which I never miss out on ;-) and well into the refreshments and can't be bothered to leave the dance floor for even a moment to enjoy cake. Other matters are more pressing, I have priorities!
But I know enough to know that wedding cake traditionally tastes like almond and so I feel confident in my statement. And I do love almond flavored treats, A LOT - so chances are I would really like wedding cake - if only I could kick off my dancing shoes long enough to indulge. Maybe next time....

As part of the pedagogic activities of the course Introduction to Conservation of Archaeological Ceramics – Workshop #SG203B (syllabus ), students are involved in the study and restoration of archaeological pottery. They work on finds from classical and medieval periods coming from several sources: the excavation of the Public Baths in Carsulae, from recent excavations at the Palatine Hill in Rome, and the store rooms of the Archaeological Museum of Abruzzo.
The work done on the objects started with the sorting, analysis and documentation of the sherds. This was followed by conservation work that involved the cleaning and reassembly of the surviving pieces and the infill of the missing portions of pottery. All the work was carried out by SGPS students under the close supervision of the faculty.
The material is chosen according to the following criteria: availability, quality and interest of the pieces and whether the work required is compatible with the skills of our students and time frame of the course. An important objective of the project is to harness the work being done in the classroom to help local archaeological institutions preserve and conserve the materials that they ave found. SGPS has a longstanding, working relationship with the excavation of the Public Baths in Carsulae, led by Prof, Jane Whitehead.

Harmonize the mind, body and Soul.
Energy Medicine is the Future of Medicine.
Dr. Mehmet Oz
Would you like to have more energy, feel younger, and have better focus? Are emotional or physical issues that you can't explain affecting your life negatively? Did you know that you may not even be consciously aware of what is holding you back?
Your subconscious mind and your chakras may be the cause of your issues. In fact, the issues may not even result from your present life, but from a past existence!
Everything in life and our environment affects us. Other people, animals, electronic and magnetic forces, and even Mother Nature have an effect on how we feel and react. Remember the warm feelings you have had for a baby animal or a loved one? Or the uncomfortable feelings when someone who is angry or out of control invades your space?
Your energy field is constantly changing to adjust and attune to each experience at every moment. Negative effects can cause the body to lose balance, become ill, and eventually succumb to disease and even death. How do you counteract these effects? One way is to experience EBB. This process can help you tune up your energy field, much like tuning up your car, a musical instrument, or your computer.
My EBB process, used in conjunction with PFT (Procedure for Transformation), helps you to change and create your own well-being. You have within you the programming to be your natural healthy self, but you must request and allow it. For true lasting change you must involve the mind, body, and Spirit to prevent the return of any issues you may have had.
Look within your Soul and decide what is the best and highest good for you. Never give that power to another. Discover the Real You Within, and remember the connection you have to the Source of the Universe.
Miracles can happen only if you believe with all your heart that something can change. And it will, if you let the change in. I invite you to get out of your comfort zone and imagine that possibly, just maybe, you can take charge of your life.
Imagination. . .is more powerful than knowledge.
Albert Einstein
With enough imagination, an open healthy perception, curiosity, and belief in yourself . . . you can create the change you wish to have in your life. Are you ready to start your own journey . . . now?
Here are some testimonials about EBB:
Marc, the guided imagery you took me through was wonderful! I was totally at peace and surrounded with love…it reminded me of my near-death experience — total bliss!! It felt so right — as if the energy was lining up in my body and the old "stuff," that no longer served me, was leaving! As a woman, I am also appreciative of your choosing tactful and respectful words. Blessings to you!
Ann Marie J., Reiki Master
I had been having lower back issues that corresponded with my monthly cycle. In one energetic balancing with Marc the pain went away and I felt lighter. My next cycle was much easier and less painful. I recommend this to anyone, open to the experience.
Anne Vondruska, Massage Therapist and Doula. February 2012
"Thank you for our session. We had no sooner started and I was transported. I was not asleep, I could hear you however I went into a deep relaxation that was just fantastic. Working with you over the phone was profound – you are gifted Marc, and I thank you for sharing your healing abilities and lovely caring nature."
Deborah Dachinger Syndicated, Award-Winning Host of "Dare to Dream" Radio
Bestselling author of "DARE TO DREAM: This Life Counts!"
Marc thank you soooo much for the remote energy treatment session. Wow, that was powerful stuff. Amazing – it really felt as if you were working right next to me, not hundreds of miles away. It's amazing how well it worked, and we both picked up on similar things, over the phone. It was a deeply healing and powerful session for me and I feel I was able to release a lot of 'stuff' without too much drama. I felt well, stable and energized for days.Many blessings to you.
Karin Dietrich, MNT Nutrition Therapist, Reiki Master
Marc's Energetic Body Balance sessions have been extremely helpful to me.
As a Posture Alignment Therapist, I work with people every day on the "mechanics" of their chronic pain. But as a holistic practitioner, I know that there is almost always an emotional or spiritual aspect to pain that also needs to be addressed.
I have struggled with the mental and physical stresses of chronic Lyme disease for four years. During that time, the posture alignment work has kept me from being crippled. However, it has been my work with Marc over the past year that has proved to be the most valuable for me emotionally.
After an EBB session, I feel much calmer and more in control. I no longer feel like my emotions are running the show. I also notice a decrease in pain and an increase in healthy energy. And, best of all, the results are not only cumulative (meaning that each session builds on the previous one), but they are also lasting. I highly recommend Marc's sessions.
Kat Wiechert, Posture Alignment Therapist
For those of us, who have a few disorders of aging, being able to experience Marc Hiscox's healing modality; EBB (Energetic Body Balance) is a treat, not soon forgotten.
I contacted Marc and an appointment was made for Monday, March 12, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. A little early, you are thinking for someone, who has pain management issues. Here is the best part; EBB can be done over the phone. You don't have to move a foot out of your comfort zone, no hair to do, no makeup, no driving miles out of your way. Imagine how blissful this is to experience a complete ending of pain, while your whole body rests in something I find words hard to explain. Think of it as liquid love for the body.
I tried to remember when the last time was that my body felt this good. Honestly, if ever, it would have to have been as a small child. Later that day I drove to a nearby city approximately 35 miles away from where I live. The entire drive was so peaceful and relaxing. It felt as though the peace in my body was reflecting back onto the environment; every part of that day was transformed by the EBB experience.
I would highly recommend this technique for anyone having a physical, mental, or emotional issue.
Pat P Carson City, NV

What a Novel and Compelling Argument
Protect me funny hat and bathroom walls, from the Beast of Consent! Lo, its time approaches and all will be consumed in its wake!
Selwyn Duke, American Tinkler:
How to Win the Marriage Debate
Somethings got the chumps still in the professional homophobe business steaming. What might that be?
The big news on the culture-war front is a federal court's striking down of Proposition 8, California's constitutional amendment protecting marriage.
Ah, right. It's been a bad time for the homophobes. They used to be able to stand tall, their monomaniacal obsessions treated as serious contenders in the culture war and enjoying their majority power to beat down the fags whenever they so pleased.
But things changed. The court of public opinion swung around the other way and now it seems that being virulently anti-gay is going the way of being anti-catholic or pro-segregation. Something to be nurtured in dog whistles and desperate attempts to "return to the good old days" and to be complained about as "political correctness" taking away your rights.
And the overturn of Prop 8 is more painful than it seems like it ought to be, because it's a reminder of a lot of things. The way the fellow cock obsessors have been trickling away and pretending they were never really invested in hating the gays what with the oh-so-important issue of whether women should be allowed to fuck, the 80 findings of fact in the original Prop 8 decision and the fact that they have no legal case, and of course the ticking time bomb before the first referendum passed legalization of gay marriage occurs and they officially run out of excuses.
As such, it's left a few suckers still in the game a bit flustered and stuttering.
In a two-to-one ruling, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit wrote, "The people may not employ the initiative power to single out a disfavored group for unequal treatment and strip them, without a legitimate justification, of a right as important as the right to marry."
Now, sane people not engaged in a long-running series of bad faith arguments, might focus on the whole "legitimate justification" part, seeking to find the legitimate justification for their beliefs and present it as proof their views align with any reality.
We are of course not dealing with sane people. So, let's see what they'll obsess about. Hmm, could be a standard "activist courts", could be "there is no such thing as a right to marry". Maybe an "unequal treatment"? They have as much right to marry a member of the opposite sex as anyone…
Now, I'm not sure why the judges mention a "disfavored group," as if singling out a "favored" one for unequal treatment would be okay. As far as I know, the 14th Amendment, on which the court based its ruling, doesn't offer equal protection to only those the current fashions deem "disfavored." Thus, I think this is an example of emotionalism influencing a ruling and its language, sort of as if a judge sentenced a defendant and, adding an adjective, announced him as "stupid" Mr. Smith. Calling a group "disfavored" is similarly a subjective judgment. This is not the only thing the judges were subjective about, however.
I'll admit, that possibility hadn't even crossed my mind.
Um, hmm…
Maybe, just maybe, they mention a "disfavored group" because, and just bear with me on this one, that's an actual legal term with an actual legal definition, you inbred fuck.
But let's just pretend that this occurred on a planet where that wasn't the case and we were to take his issue as if it wasn't the desperate grasping of a man desperate to keep around a squad of professional homophobes to continue to delay his eventual coming out.
Well, there's the little fact that these rulings for "the disfavored" also apply to the "favored". The "favored" can't be barred out of a diner based on race, can't have their sports programs unilaterally cut due to sex, and can't have their marriages treated as a game of keepaway by vindictive fags.
And that's before we get to the rest of the sentence that you are ignoring about unequal treatment without justification stripping them of an important right and all.
It's almost like you are arguing in obvious bad faith or something.
Speaking to bias, some may point out here that the Ninth Circuit is the most overturned court in the nation and that the two judges who ruled against Prop. 8 were appointed by Democrats.
You know, every conservative and their mom loves to throw this quote around as if it was their love doll. Of course, looking deeper it tends to refer to yearly overturn numbers in the current court. Which a) the Supreme Court reviews like balls all cases per year, so most overturned isn't exactly "this court is terrible", b) most of the overturns has to do with a bitch fight between the Ninth Circuit and the Supreme Court on prisoner's rights so is a deliberate action on both parties to call the other a bag of dicks, and c) this Supreme Court.
I mean, seriously, when you are trying to argue that a court sucks because it's been overruled by the Court that passed Citizen's United and was pretty much also the one that passed Bush v Gore, you are kinda hurting your case just a little.
Yet the reality is that they're hardly alone: virtually everyone — including conservatives — misses the 800-pound gorilla with the pink tutu and rainbow flag in the middle of the marriage debate.
I didn't know you marched in the Parade.
The court's reasoning is that a state cannot deny homosexuals the right to "marry" if that right has already been established for others. This certainly seems to accord with the 14th Amendment, which reads, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States … nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." So, by the judges' lights, since Prop. 8 abridges for one group a privilege afforded everyone else, it is unconstitutional.
But what really is the central issue here? It isn't whether marriage is a right or a privilege; it isn't whether it is covered under the Constitution. It isn't even whether or not homosexuals have a right to "marry." The crux of the matter is this: what is this right or privilege?
I hesitate to say "go on", but…
Go on.
If the court rules that there is a right to a certain thing, it must know what that thing is. Yet if the court accepted that the thing called "marriage" is the union between a man and woman, there would be no debate. The judges would simply state that, just like anyone else, homosexuals have a right to marry — to form that time-honored union between themselves and a member of the opposite sex.
Called it, woo! Everyone take a shot for "gays have just as much right to marry a member of the opposite sex".
Ah. Shame that's not the definition of marriage. Shame it is just a legal contract denoting kinship and a legal family as well as a cultural institution denoting an intention towards love, support, and commitment (however the couple may define that term).
And shame that the courts pissed so strong on that sort of definitional bullshit when you actually did make the legal definition "marriage is a union between two people of the same race".
But how were you to know? You're only 45 years behind the curve. In wingnut terms, that might as well be last week.
Now, some will say the court accepts that there has been a redefinition of marriage. If so, they had best tell us what it is.
Yeah! They should definitely tell us that marriage has been changed from a bill of sale from father to husband of unwanted chattel (the wife), or from a legal framework of harem creation as it was in biblical times, or a means of processing captured slaves after genocides as again it was in the Bible. Also that it was never defined as man on woman. Hmm, on second thought, maybe they should keep that shit to themselves.
Because, you see, our leftist marriage engineers have not redefined marriage.
They have undefined it.
Again, with the hesitancy. Alright, find my zen, ah…
Go on.
They have not said that marriage is the union between any two people.
Yes, instead they worship this demon God known only as Consent and argue that He and His mighty hatred for all that is good and pure trump over the Law of the Slippery Slope, thus denying us argument after argument of unmitigated bullshit. Cover ye virgins and weep for the heavens, lest this beast consume all of our bad faith arguments. Like when women are allowed to fuck. What?!? You don't say! Then this battle is lost, sound the horn for retreat, the Beast is far too strong for mortal men to defeat alone!
Woe unto the douchebags, we have been lain low this day!
If they did, they'd render themselves just as "exclusionary" and "discriminatory" as those they decry and relinquish a hammer with which they bludgeon tradition. They have not offered any alternative parameters for marriage.
Not offered, we don't listen. Same thing, no?
They've simply implied that the correct definition — the one accepted for millennia in Western civilization — is wrong.
Yet if these leftists cannot say what marriage is, how can they be so sure about what it isn't? If they cannot offer a definition they're certain is right, how can they be so confident that the right definition is wrong?
`Do you mean that you think you can find out the answer to it?' said the March Hare.
`Exactly so,' said Alice.
`Then you should say what you mean,' the March Hare went on.
`I do,' Alice hastily replied; `at least–at least I mean what I say–that's the same thing, you know.'
`Not the same thing a bit!' said the Hatter. `You might just as well say that "I see what I eat" is the same thing as "I eat what I see"!'
But the point is this: the court obviously doesn't accept the definition of marriage embraced by most people worldwide today. If it did, it would have ruled as indicated earlier. Yet there also is no noted alternative definition by which to go. Thus, it seems that before the judges could rule on the right to this thing called marriage, they'd have to rule on what this thing is in the first place. So have they ruled that there is a right to they-know-not-what.
I've seen quite a number of sad pathetic things in my duties as monitor to the right-wing, but I gotta say this tops the list.
Nothing is quite as pathetic as someone trying to argue "takebacksies" with regards to a legal argument as if their tempermental toddler tantrum overruled legal decision.
Sorry, Selwyn, you lost. And you didn't lose because you got screwed, you lost because you had no case, no legal argument for why "dem fags ain't allowed to do that, no siree". You'll just have to deal with that.
I know it hurts, I imagine some days it almost feels as bad as having your dignity and right to form a legally-valid union with your chosen partner treated like a yo-yo for vindictive assholes.
That's right, no one can understand what that feels like.
Of course, the judges certainly understand marriage to be some kind of legally sanctioned union between or among different parties. But this takes in a lot of territory. If this is all it is and everyone has a right to it, how can we deny it to polygamists (and their conception of marriage has infinitely more historical precedent than does faux marriage)?
You know what, assholes, fuck it. Yeah, eventually there will probably be poly marriages and you'll have to suck that down about as well as you sucked this down. Choke on that.
Also, whoops on the giveaway there. Almost revealed that the real "traditional biblical marriage" you guys craw on about would actually be polygamous rape factories rather than the 1950s nuclear family model you like to allude to (you know, the monogamous rape factory).
This is where some roll their eyes and say that these things will never happen. But while such scoffing is rhetorically effective, it's not very intellectual.
…You…You were trying to be…Sorry, let me begin again.
You were trying to be intellectual?
Oh, Selwyn! Oh, my poor poor dear. I…I just don't know how to break it to you. Come here. I know, honey, I know you tried so hard and those other kids were so mean. It's okay.
It'll all be okay.
I'll first point out that people in the 1950s would have likewise laughed off the notion that granting homosexuals the right to "marry" would be a major social and legal movement 50 years later. More significantly, however, ideas matter. The precedents we set matter. And when you undefine something, nothing is excluded. No boundaries means no limits.
Consent? What does that Foul Beast have to do with what I just said? That is the boundary? You would set a demon as boundary to such an important task? Are you liberals truly so vile as to do that?
Also, yeah, homosexuals, what do you think about the slow evolution of history and its curve towards justice…ah crap I did it again. You're the stupid ones with the crap argument! Nyah!
This is why the left's actions do, in fact, threaten marriage. To fail to respect the institution's time-honored definition and also refuse to offer any alternative definition is to seek to destroy the edifice without a plan for what will take its place. It is to imply that marriage can mean anything. And if something can mean anything, it means nothing.
As for conservatives, they have been suckered again. Without even realizing it, they have allowed the left to frame the debate — as a matter of rights — when it is first and foremost a matter of definitions. To argue it as a matter of rights is to lose the debate; to control the definitions can render that debate irrelevant.
Argue on definitions! Of course! Why hasn't the professional homophobe crowd thought of that, yet! I mean, it's such an obvious and compelling argument that's never been raised be-
What, you say? That was pretty much their attempted defense of Prop 8? And it got smacked down so hard that conservatives are only now starting to feel the sting on their cheeks?
Well, then why didn't you liberals say anything?
What does "we wanted to laugh at your stupidity" mean? Is that code for worshipping Consent, the destroyer of tradition and life?
This is why, mind you, I would not have written Prop. 8 as its framers did: "Only marriage between a man and a woman is valid or recognized in California." Instead, it should have been, "Marriage is hereby legally defined as a union between a man and a woman." The actual text gives the courts wiggle room to find in favor of currently invalid or unrecognized "marriages"; the suggested text makes it so that there is nothing else to find in favor of. (Of course, ambitious judges can find a way around anything, but they'd have to do a bit more creative constitutional trampling.)
Oh, I'm sorry Douchebag McGee, I thought you were arguing that that was the legal definition of marriage. That you were just trying to protect the "definition of marriage" from being "undefined" by the mean old homos who want to be able to form legal bonds of kinship with their significant others.
But please, do go on about how you would have redefined marriage as your bigoted horseshit to prevent it from the awful crime of being "redefined by homosexual activists".
I'm sure if only you had been more blatant then there wouldn't have been 80 findings of fact against your side and its arguments.
Because there would have been exponentially more.
Yet controlling the definitions starts with controlling the vocabulary.
Why yes, we only want to preserve the definition of marriage, because proper English totally outweighs human dignity. And to do that, all we need to do is redefine marriage and fuck around with most of the English language.
You know, when you make a bad faith argument that you are supposed to be consistent with what you are making a bad faith argument to, right?
For a definition won't take hold in society unless the word it defines first does. This is why conservatives should never use the term "gay marriage," as this is an explicit acknowledgement that such an institution exists. Nor should they use "heterosexual marriage," for what is the other side of that coin?
What is most readily accepted is that which is assumed. From the get-go, conservatives should have insisted that marriage is marriage, a union between a man and woman and nothing else. This would have put odd alien fantasies about marriage, whatever they may be, in perspective. Because you cannot have a right to that which doesn't exist.
Yes, conservatives, if only you had tried arguing that. Why it would have been so novel and not at all, the failed and obvious tactic of a couple of years ago, which was already falling apart before the Prop 8 decision ripped it a new breathing hole.
If only you had been that self-aware and forward-thinking (hey now), then no one would ever dream of alien fantasies of fucking that chick from Avatar…I mean, about being able to marry their chosen partner. Why gay people might not even exist, or at least not in numbers where we had to acknowledge that they exist and we could continue safely in ignorance and no one would be hurt by our bass-ackward desire to put our heads in the sand.
And the Beast Consent would not have laid waste to our home of Traditional Marriage, turning our house slaves into ravaging beasts demanding so called rights to work and rights to fuck, creating these fictional pairings of man and man, woman and woman, and triad and quad and so-on configurations that weren't just abuse-driven modern harems we could easily scare-monger (what with being our own conservative "traditional" creation).
Our people would not have been driven into the snow, to weep for their arguments, rended to the bone in front of the children we always hide behind. Leaving us lost, scattered and scared.
If only we had listened and tried what we did and failed. It could have all been prevented.
But who would have listened?
Who would have heeded my post hoc prophecy?

Jody McCrea, the son of Joel McCrea, passed away earlier this month. He was primarily known for his roles in cult films. In this excerpt from his book, Cinema Retro columnist pays tribute to McCrea's career.
Surviving Beach Party and how he continued in the series:"I had known that taller guys were fired from the early movies. I always tried to stand burrowed in the sand so I wouldn't tower over Frankie Avalon or John Ashley, who was about the same height. After we did a few movies, I said to Frankie, 'Thanks for not having me fired on Beach Party.' He replied, 'Well, the little guy gets all the sympathy anyway.'"His surprising non-friendship with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello:"I got along very well with Frankie and Annette because I left them alone. They always had many lines to memorize or songs to sing. I just concentrated on my part and didn't fraternize with either of them at all."Working with director William Asher: "William Asher was best suited for directing the beach movies. He was always smiling. You would see his grin from behind the camera and it would just lift you up. He would get your confidence so high that as an actor you would try different things with your role. Most of it would work because of his faith in you. And yes, he favored some of the young guys like Mike Nader that he discovered on the beach. Mike had a lot of natural ability and Asher had a great talent for making you feel good while working with him. I think I was one of his favorites also because I had a lot of training. He liked all the things I brought to the part."Meeting blonde bombshell Bobbi Shaw for the first time on Pajama Party:"I remember that nobody introduced us. Our first scene together was a kissing scene. They just told me to get into this rumble seat of this car with her. We kissed a lot before I officially met her. That was quite an experience since Bobbi was built like every girl would have liked to be. They put her in this mink bikini and physically she was a super girl. Just looking at her made me feel good!"Being surrounded always by a bevy of bikini-clad beauties:"The beach girls [including Patti Chandler, Salli Sachse, Mary Hughes, and Linda Opie] were more protected than nuns were. I just learned to be very careful around them. They were constantly telling the guys not to lay a hand on the girls. It was as if they were a bunch of porcelain dolls. You would have had a better chance of putting your hand on a nun's shoulder than trying anything with the beach girls. I found out the hard way."
Working with Dennis Hopper in The Glory Stompers: "Dennis Hopper was an enfant terrible at times. I don't want to say anything too negative but he wanted to direct and it worked out for him but it was hard on the rest of us. You're not supposed to take the wheel from the guy who is the captain of the ship but our director [Anthony Lanza] was more of an editor and he wasn't strong. Dennis was very tenacious and had a good background. I think Dennis is a very good actor but a better director. He worked with me on a scene and he was awfully good coaxing a good performance from me. Dennis was excellent but at times I was sorry that I hired him because he was so hard to deal with. He did extremely well directing his next movie, Easy Rider." His final remarks to me about the Beach Party movies:
"I'm delighted and happy that the beach movies have been rediscovered. They are considered cult classics now. It is like getting on a big wave and riding it. I didn't like being typecast but I was happy to make people laugh."

We thought you might, which is exactly why we'd like to present you with a fantastic opportunity to show your company members just how highly you value them.

— American Express Survey
And in all of our years of experience - as well as input from dealerships who've implemented our program - that one of the best ways to improve your customer service, is to implement premium-quality customer appreciation programs.
You're probably wondering, "what's in it for us" - right?
Glad you asked! Because you'll have made the wise investment of aligning with our program, your customers are given the opportunity to experience a level of artistry and service they've never imagined, potentially creating new customers or clients for our studio.

Home Internet Business Success Strategies
Starting and Running a Successful Online Business
By applying these basic proven success strategies to your home Internet business, you will not only be giving yourself the greatest chance of success in starting an online business, but you will put yourself head and shoulders above most of your online business competition.
The Allure of Starting an Online Business
A great many Internet home based business opportunities use lifestyle benefits as their main selling point. Their sales pitch and use of images are very convincing and many people actually do believe that they will be able to quit their job and retire in a matter of months and become a millionaire in one year, drive around in the flashiest of sports cars and own the best piece of real estate in the area.
Another attractive sales line of starting an online business is the use of the words "fully automated", which implies that the business owner does not have to do very much work in order to earn a vast income. Unfortunately for us all, this is not the case. A great deal of work is required by those seriously intent on building a successful, lasting and profitable home Internet business.
Unfortunately, it is mainly due to the above that so many people fail in their endeavors to make a success of their Internet business. They have been misled into believing that they can make vast amounts of money from an online business in a short period of time by doing very little work and without having to apply any basic business principals.
Treat Your Online Business Like any Other
The first and most important success strategy that you can adopt is to treat your home Internet business like a real business, not a hobby. There are basic proven success strategies that the highly successful online business owners put into practice on a daily basis and you can implement them too.
Most people start an Internet home based business while still working a day job in the hope of making some quick and easy money in their spare time. This "part-time" attitude will lead to disappointment and failure. A "full-time full-time attitude" is required to build a successful online business in the few hours available.
To build a successful and profitable home based Internet business you need to apply basic business principals with a full time attitude to everything related to the business i.e. Internet marketing, ad tracking, cash flow management, product testing, customer service, website updates and maintenance, email marketing, etc.
Be firm with yourself and make the decision to either get into business or get out.
Like any other business, time management and cash management are of utmost importance. Decide what is important and what is urgent. Have a daily task list with time limits on each. Diligent cash flow management is a means to allow you to set aside a portion of your profits to invest back into the business.
Be sure that you are selling something that has value and market the product in such a way that you attract the right potential customers to your website. Be sure to meet your potential customer's requirements and expectations in order to turn then into actual customers.
Make Yourself Available and be Professional in Your Online Business
It is important that potential customers visiting your website have some way of contacting you, by phone, fax or email - this builds trust and gives you the opportunity to get to know your customers. Can they easily find their way around your website? Put your customers' needs first. Answer queries promptly.
Project a professional image of a real business - don't hide away. It is a good idea to personalize your website by putting a face to a name, so if you do add a photograph to your website use a good professional head and shoulders shot as opposed to one of you lounging under a palm tree with your laptop and cocktail. Be sure that your online business is designed to fulfill a need and you will start making a profit when you put your customers' needs first.
Keep Track of What Works and What Doesn't for Your Online Business
Internet marketing requires discipline and hard work and you need to know what is and isn't working and why. Track every possible means that a potential customer has of finding your website. Knowing your conversion rates are important, especially if you are using PPC or other paid advertising. It is vital to constantly monitor and check and adjust where necessary.
If you are involved in email marketing, you need to know your opt-in and opt-out statistics, including at what stage prospects are opting out? Find out why and make a change. Do you know what traffic sources generate the highest opt-ins? Track, test and monitor everything you do. When making changes to your website, make one change at a time and when you get different results you will then know exactly what caused the new result.
You need to know what your top performing keywords and keyword phrases are and at what position in the search engines they perform best. Know your click-through rate to sales conversion rate.
With the Internet being such a fast changing environment you need to break down every single process in your Internet marketing chain and know exactly what is happening so that you are in a position to quickly make adjustments to keep up with the trends. The amazing thing about the Internet is that you can track everything; success is just a matter of avoiding the guessing game and being disciplined.
In closing, be sure to :
- Provide something of value that solves a need or a problem
- Project the right image, that you are a real professional business that cares
- Use the right keywords and keyword phrases in order to attract targeted prospects
- Never stop marketing your online business
Although these are the very basic business principals and online business success strategies they will form a very solid foundation to an online business. Combine these with your decision to "get into business" with a "full-time attitude" and you are on the road to building a highly profitable and successful home based Internet business.

John Bingham
After I finish my book on Populist and Progressive era constitutionalism, my next book will be a biography of John Bingham (1815-1900), the principal drafter of Section One of the Fourteenth Amendment. It's a bit daunting, as I've never written a biography before and much of the relevant material is scattered around the country. Nevertheless, given his importance (Hugo Black called Bingham the "James Madison of the Fourteenth Amendment"), he really deserves a full-fledged biography (not to mention an HBO miniseries, if anyone wants to buy the rights from me). There was one written by Erving Beauregard about twenty years ago, but it is pretty obscure and was based on an inaccurate view of Bingham's role that dates back to Charles Fairman's flawed scholarship in the 1940s.
To give you some highlights, Bingham was an abolitionist member of Congress from 1855-73 (with a gap between 1863-65). He was also one of the three JAG prosecutors in the military trial of Lincoln's assassins (Bingham is on the left in the picture). And he served as one of the impeachment managers during Andrew Johnson's trial before closing his career as Ambassador to Japan from 1873-85. But his main claim to fame comes from his work on Reconstruction and on the Fourteenth Amendment, as he was at the center of almost every major debate during that time.
The lack of a serious Bingham biography is part of an odd dichotomy in our historiography. The Civil War is the most popular topic in American history — far more so than the Revolutionary War. (Go look in any bookstore). Yet the Founding Fathers get a lot more attention than the leaders of Reconstruction — books about Thaddeus Stevens, Charles Sumner, or Lyman Trumbull are rare compared to what you see about Hamilton, Jefferson, or Madison. Why is that?
