After sweeping the conference championships and placing first and second respectively in a weekend invitational meet, the Charlevoix High School boys and girls cross country teams are gearing up for what their coaches expect to be an even tighter regional meet this Saturday.
The Rayder runners started off the week out-pacing perennial conference powerhouse Harbor Springs for the dual conference titles
For veteran Charlevoix boys' coach Ken Plude, things (in the conference meet) went all according to plan.
The same couldn't be said for his wife's team on the girls' side, but Mary Plude will take the result.
The Charlevoix High School boys' and girls' cross country teams swept the Lake Michigan Conference championship Tuesday, Oct. 18 on their home course at a rainy and cold day.
The Charlevoix girls, ranked No. 10 in the Division III state coaches poll, held off four-time defending league champion Harbor Springs, which is ranked eighth, by just two points, 30-32.
On the boys' side, the Rayders captured their first league title since 2007 as they also finished ahead of the Rams, 34-44, to complete the sweep. East Jordan was third with 49 points.
"We did what we needed to do," Ken Plude said. "The times were slower because as the rain kept coming down the course got soggy, but we ran what we normally do and we did what was necessary."
The Charlevoix boys had three runners finish in the top seven to earn all-conference honors, while three others finished from eighth-14th to earn honorable mention.
The top seven runners were named to the all-conference team, the next seven earn honorable mention.
"Our top five ran a one-minute gap," Plude said. "We performed well and that's a good thing with having 16 guys. Our goal going in was getting 34 points, and that's what we ended up with."
Four Charlevoix girls finished within the top seven, led by freshman Amber Way, who won in 20 minutes, 3.8 seconds. She held off defending league champ Rhi Cullip of Harbor, who finished runner-up in 20:09.1.
Harbor Springs senior Ben Kloss repeated as conference champion in the boys' race as he finished in 17:18.5. East Jordan senior Luke Hawley was second in 17:21.0.
"I've been working at getting a first for a while and it feels really good to get a conference championship win," Way said.
"Our race went out fast and there were a couple of parts I wasn't sure of with the hills, but I knew what I was supposed to do and I got it."
Also for Charlevoix, Molly Jeakle finished third, senior Olivia Certa was fourth, and senior Annie Dipert was seventh. Also for the Rayders, Caroline Boss was 15th, followed by Jane Balasz, 17th; and Stirling Witthoeft, 20th.
"It definitely helped us all knowing the course being this race was at home," Way said. "It was good. We all know we performed well and it's all about getting us to the next one. We're all pretty ready for regionals."
Mary Plude said it's been a tough past two weeks for her team.
"It turned into a dual meet with some help from East Jordan and Boyne City, that's what it really came down to," she said. "It was a different road than I thought we'd take, we've had to deal with mono and an ineligible runner who's now done for the season. It was a tough road and there was some disappointment on the team, but we came through after we worked some things through."
Plude said having Dipert and Jeakle healthy were key factors.
"What they both did was the biggest thing for the team," Mary Plude said. "Annie was not ranked to be all-conference, so this was a huge personal goal for her and Molly ran her best race of the season."
Plude also said Way, who has missed time this season, wasn't going to go down without a fight.
"She (Way) really wanted it out there and we've had to be really careful at times with her," Plude said. "But you could see she was focused and she just wanted it."
For the Charlevoix boys, senior Kirk Acharya finished a team-best fourth, while sophomore Jackson Buday was sixth, and senior Nick Plude was seventh.
Also for the Rayders, Andrew Plude was eighth, senior Will Jeakle placed ninth, Tristen Rudolph was 13th, and Chris Young was 15th.
"It's been four years and we still weren't able to get one conference title," Acharya said. "This year we've had a lot more focus with the guys and the seniors have really pulled through on the team and have stepped up and done their part in the leadership role.
"All the younger guys are pulling and feeding off that and they have a drive to succeed."
Acharya missed all of last season because of injury.
"I was able to get some things in order and (injuries) lit a fire for me to come back and just give it my all," he said. "Everyone gave what they had to give and we were able to pull through."
Also for the Harbor girls, senior Maddie Buntin was fifth, freshman Charlotte Cullip was sixth, junior Kaitlyn Alessi was eighth, Betsy Simons was 11th, Autumn Kihnke was 12th, and Taylor Sydow was 13th.
"We expected, as did Mary (Plude), for it to be about two points difference and there just wasn't a lot of people in the race," Harbor girls' coach Emily Kloss said. "Although we put our seven in there pretty tight, there wasn't a lot of other people.
"I was pleased to get seven runners in the top 13. We didn't run great, but we ran well. When you're racing against Charlevoix, you have to put it all out there."
Ben Kloss paced the Harbor boys with his win after pulling away along with East Jordan's Hawley and Josh Wojan.
Kloss led the majority of the race, but Hawley surged ahead within the final half mile on a corner before Kloss regained the lead and finished strong.
On Saturday, the Rayders traveled to Manistee for the Manistee National Cross Country Invitational at which the boys team took first place in the small division with 61 points to second place Grand Traverse Academy's 74 in a 12 -team field. The Rayder girls took second place, falling by one point to Harbor Springs.
In the boys race, the Rayders were again paced by Acharya who took second place, less than 1 second off the winning pace.
In the girls race, the Rayders took a trifecta with Amber Way in first place with a 19:30 finish, Molly Jeakle in second at 19:54 and Olivia Certa was third at 19:55. Annie Dipert also medaled at 6th place and a 20:40
Mary Plude noted that both Way and Jeakle posted career-best times in Saturday's race.
Looking ahead to Saturday's regional races at Benzie Central, the Pludes are expecting the close races to continue
"Regionals will be very tight. There are four teams in each of the boys and girls races that could go to the state meet. Benzie Central is the strongest in both of the races. For the boys, there is also Charlevoix, Mason County Central, Kingsley and Harbor Springs. East Jordan is also a close contender. The boys have been keeping a tight pack behind Kirk Achraya their front runner and that has brought the boys their success this season. The order has moved around, but the commitment to running in a tight pack has remained. They have been a very team orientated group of young men," Plude said.
She added: "For the girls, it is also Charlevoix, Harbor Springs and Manistee. The point separation is very small. We will need to run well from 1-7 to place in the top three at the regional. The girls are capable of achieving this goal and I know their focus is where it should be this week."

On the 19th January 2016 the Bishop of Peterborough, the Rt Revd Donald Allister, took part in a short debate tabled by Lord Hanningfield, "To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to help improve education standards in United Kingdom prisons." Bishop Donald spoke about his recent visits to several prisons and the challenges presented by studying for qualifications within a prison. The Bishop also urged the Government to include restorative justice as part of its education provision within the prison estate.
The Lord Bishop of Peterborough: My Lords, I, too, am grateful for this debate. I also note with great pleasure a number of changes made to policy and practice in this area by Mr Gove since he became Secretary of State. I gladly thank him and the Government, particularly for allowing prisoners greater and easier access to books. But if educational standards in prisons are to be improved, as they desperately need to be, we still need much more joined-up thinking. I will give two examples.
The first I discovered on a visit I made to a prison during the coalition Government, although I suspect it could just as well have been today. I visited a very impressive unit which trained female prisoners in catering, giving them a range of skills needed for working in that sector. One prisoner told me that she was close to completing a course which would lead to a nationally recognised qualification but that she would not be able to complete it because she had just been given very short notice of being moved to another prison. I asked her if she would like me to say something to those in authority, to which she replied, "Thank you, but don't bother. We expect this. It's just the way the system treats us". The system should not treat prisoners or anyone else in that way. We talk about a patient-centred NHS. What about a prisoner-centred Prison Service, not least as regards education and equipping for outside life?
My second example relates to the importance of holistic education. Surely the work done to help prisoners change wrong behaviour patterns—important programmes such as restorative justice and resettlement training—should be seen as part and parcel of the whole educational provision and aligned with it. But the funding of these programmes has been reduced and reallocated to the new community rehabilitation companies. Surely this must make the holistic approach—connecting educational provision with behavioural change and rehabilitation—much less likely.
I am grateful that Her Majesty's Government have initiated this review. I urge them to ensure that prisoners get the life-transforming education they need—for all our sakes.

Because I've shown you some Kana-Shodo and Arabian Shodo art products, I've been hoping to see alphabet calligraphy. It was my plain luck that I saw one at Yokohama Asahi Culture school before I left for the U.S. The photo quality is not good, I'm sorry, but I'm excited to show you this. This is their most current exhibition at the lobby of their school. You get an idea of what I saw and why I was excited.
Calligraphy is an art and therapeutic. I don't understand why American or British schools quit teaching this art. It can be an elective. What do you think?

I just found this out about the first photo. I think it is the product of alphabet calligraphy combined with the techniques of kana shodo and Arabic shodo. The black ink brush is from kana shodo and I think the artist probably used a piece of bamboo carved to make a special pen which I think people in Arabic shodo use. The technique called Kattupitu 渇筆 is clearly visible. Kattupitu is let the ink dry up to show rusty feeling. Look at the brushstrokes closely to see what I am talking about. I'm excited for this discovery! The arts are merging, making more new and fresh things.

I have always admired calligraphy, and at one time thought about trying to do some. In the end I decided it takes someone with way more artistic talent than I have (which is none!).

As your son's reply to one of your questions, I want to say "not applicable." All we need is love and patient. But, I don't spend much time with kana shodo. I only go to the class when I'm in Japan and experiment a few things. The last time, I brushstroke a paragraph from my memoir using a brush-like pen.

I am curious. You mentioned your memoir. Do you have it published yet? I would love to read it!

- keiko amano said...
I've been working for my mother's story for so many years. My mother died in 1996, and ever since then, I set my goal of writing it. But I can't stop editing it. Not published yet, but last month, a friend of mine started to work on editing, but in the meantime, I edited it again. So, we have to meet and level set and restart again.
Thank you for your interest. You are the only one who said want to read. Great!
- December 17, 2011 at 8:42 PM
- kristieinbc said...
Thanks Keiko. I will be waiting to see you announce on your blog that the book is finally ready.
- December 18, 2011 at 6:55 AM
- keiko amano said...
I appreciate it. Your words help me motivate to finish it which is probably not to edit anymore but to let my editor friend edit. I admire your life and energy. If I had a dog, the dog has to wake me up! Smiles. But I haven't given up on my energy. It will come back. Your words made my day.

Thank you for sharing, Keiko. These are great. I have always admired calligraphy. I have a slim book about learning it, but no surprise that I have not tried much. From time to time I like to flip through he book and see the beautiful letters. Maybe I will try to write a word. I too will be in line to buy your memoir. I can imagine how interesting it would be.

I wonder if you like the ornate calligraphy of Gothic letters. I love them. They are like Gothic architecture.
In my high school, I used to read the journal that belonged to the art club. Every member including the managing teacher wrote often. I wasn't a member, but I was there often and read the journal. Out of all the members, the group leader wrote in his roundish handwriting. Looking at his letters gave me comfort, so I wrote in the journal what I felt. I remember this because one girl made her comment reading my comment. I was still insecure writer. I wish I can see his letters again.

- Rebb said...
Yes I do like the ornate calligraphy of gothic letters. That's a great description: Gothic architecture.
What a nice memory. I feel the comfort you describe. I like the rounded curves of Celtic calligraphy. It's humbling and inspiring to look back when we were insecure writers. I think the insecurity is always there in some way-- at least for me-- but it changes in degree from moment to moment. I keep going no matter what.
- December 29, 2011 at 9:48 AM
- keiko amano said...
I agree with you on insecurity. It's part of being human and that makes our writing very interesting. So we should keep going no matter what.

[NSFW/TMI and all those other warnings/enticements apply]
I didn't think I would be bothered by being dumped by French Train Station Platform Boy. We hadn't been together very long and we weren't a real couple. And (other than eleven days in 2007), I've been single all my life.
But it was nice to have someone I could depend on, someone who knew what to expect of Bedroom Connor so I didn't have to worry about taking him home, someone who would kiss me and hold my hand and squeeze my bottom in public, someone who wanted to go on holidays with me. And everything going on with my family in Ireland left me suddenly lonely and I was man-less. This isn't what I'd come to London for!
It took me a few weeks, but then, about three weeks ago, on a Friday, as I was staying late at work, I found myself talking to a man on one of my apps. And soon we transitioned to WhatsApp (always a good sign). This was nice because it was a genuine chat. I was telling this guy about my life and he was telling me about his. We texted back and forth for about three hours. And not a single dick pic was exchanged in all that time, which was thrillingly alternative.
We arranged for him to visit the following day. I told him he couldn't come in the morning because I was staying so late at work that I needed a good lie-in. I also told him he'd have to be gone before Strictly started. I'm such a romantic. We settled on 3:00 pm.
I met him at the station and was surprised to see he had a large birthmark on his face, which hadn't been in his profile picture on either the man-on-man app or on WhatsApp. Did he seriously photoshop all his profile pictures? I later found out that it was a bruise and that his skin was actually quite flawless.
He was cute and sweet and chatty, and face-to-face it was much clearer how young he was than it had been on text. He was 23.
I didn't care though. I offered him a cup of tea as soon as he got to my house, but he didn't want one. He devoured me in a very passionate kiss and we were naked very quickly.
My Train Platform Frenchman and I had got into a routine in the bedroom, whereby I more or less laid back and let him do all the work, which I found ideal. I'm not exactly an athletic maker of love. I was slightly exasperated that this new young man expected me to actually do stuff, but it was ok. It's nice to have naked fun and I needed the skin contact and the comfort and energy it brings.
We spent a good two hours together, doing things to each other, chatting and just hugging silently. I felt great. Like a phone that's really low on battery that's finally been plugged in.
But I can't help it. When I'm with a man, I find myself wondering why they're attracted to someone who looks like me. Why not thin men? What happened to these chubby chasers in their childhoods that a body type widely held to be disgusting is what they find sexy? I sometimes do ask them about their preferences but I never ask the one question that keeps bugging me every time I'm with a man and he's enthralled by my enormous belly. All I want to ask them is "Was your dad fat?" But I haven't asked that question yet. Because I don't really want to know. Even if it's all I can think of sometimes.
And I'm not always clever in my relations with other humans. And sometimes I jump to conclusions that I shouldn't jump to. I presumed a 23-year-old who was so into me, an aged 36-year-old, had a thing for older guys. In an effort to please him, I called him "boy" a lot. He commented on this and said I was obviously "into" the age difference. I agreed. Because I wanted to be polite. Oh God. He didn't want to be called "Boy" but I had to pretend to want to call him that and pretend I was "into" that. And then he made it worse. He called me "Daddy" because I let him think that's what I wanted. And because I'm way too polite I let him continue. He was just doing it because he thought I wanted him to. I most definitely did not. Sometimes I hate being so agreeable. *shudder* (This isn't the first time this has happened. When I reacted excitedly to the cuteness of French Train Station Boy wearing a waistcoat one evening when we met, he thought I had some kind of waistcoat fetish and actually started sending me photos of waistcoats as sexts. I don't have a waistcoat fetish. I just think short men in waistcoats are adorable the way I think unlikely animal friendship videos on YouTube are adorable. But I let him think that I had some kind of waistcoat kink out of pure overpoliteness. SIGH.)
Anyway, it was exactly what I needed and he left half an hour before Strictly started, so it was basically the perfect Saturday. I woke up the next morning with a hickey on my right nipple and a sore wrist. Love wounds.
Anyway, we're still in touch and he'll probably be calling to mine again soon for a bit more action. Which is nice. But I'm focused on my next man. I have four days to find another man. I arrived in London on 31st October 2016. I have four days left until the one-year anniversary of that event. The boy in this blogpost was my eleventh man I've taken to bed since arriving here. I want to make it to twelve in my first year here. So I have to find a new bonking partner by Tuesday.
A worthy goal I feel. Wish me luck!

Although best known for his portraiture, Robert Street painted a variety of subjects, including, landscapes, and historical and religious scenes. He was born in the Germantown section of Philadelphia in 1796. Details of his early life and artistic training are documented until 1815 when he exhibited "The Wood Gatherers" at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. He exhibited at the Academy again in 1817, 1818, and in 1822.
In 1824, he showed three historical paintings in Washington, DC, and in the same year he painted a portrait of Andrew Jackson that later hung in the White House. In 1840, a major exhibition of his work was held at the Artists Fund Hall in Philadelphia. The show was catalogued and included one hundred and seventy two works by Street and fifty paintings by past artists. Street also participated in group shows at the Artists Guild until 1845, at the Franklin Institute in 1847 and 1851, at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts until 1861, and at the Apollo Association in New York in 1838 and 1839.
He was married three times. His sons, Ruben Correggio, Austin del Sarto, Theophilus, and Claude Lorraine, all became artists in Philadelphia.

Hey guys we would like to know things about[url=http://www.digitalvortex.info] cardsharing[/url], Is that ok with you? Here is a not many of our questions from us all.
Birthday card sharing is a method by which unbiased receivers be relevant contemporaneous access to a pay tv network, using anecdote legal conditional access investment card. Typically, the valid prankster is fond of to a bosom computer or Dreambox which is connected to the Internet, and is configured to victual the legitimately decrypted call the tune powwow to other receivers who ask for the information. This decrypted put down express is then used to decode an encrypted conditional access professional care, as though each other receiver were using its own subscription card.
As technology has made the security of smartcards in conditional access systems increase, playing-card sharing has behoove a more acclaimed method of pirate decryption. Much of the expansion of car-card sharing devices and software has taken pinpoint in Europe where state boundaries at any cost that national users are clever to draw satellite tube signals from numberless countries but are unable to legally subscribe to them apt to licensing restrictions on broadcasters.
Because the duration of the control information is so mini (instances 16 bytes), enunciation of the guide words for to one side courtyard networks to many new devise top boxes is indubitably viable on a retirement community internet connection. This has sparked dotty the inception of sharing network groups, in which users can access the classify through sharing their price cards with the group, and in take off, being adept of receiving the channels which all users' cards can decrypt, as though the drug owned every single commitment card. Other networks be struck by also been created, whereby the same server has multiple legitimate underwriting cards connected to it. Access to this server is then restricted to those who extend the server's possessor their own price fee.
Another use for the treatment of card sharing has be proper manifest as Europe migrates from analog to digital TV. As the tv signal turns digital, a digital set apogee box is needed for each TV in the household. Each set up culmination coffer normally needs to have its own adept membership card in orderliness to be able to decrypt freebie channels. Most pay-tv providers (but not all) offer addition payment cards to subscribers as a replacement for a reduced damages compared to the unique head card. The extra cards mostly satisfactorily with more restrictions than the foremost card, such as firm channels excluded from being decrypted by any card except the (more priceless) initial one. This routine is mostly dictated close to the contented providers (tv networks) and poses a problem from a consumer rights perspective, as the subscribers are essentially false to paying as regards the unchanging channels twice, whereas in the analog mankind the channels would be unlocked on every TV in the household with at best one fee.

The Dreambox DM7000 from Dream-Multimedia-Tv (DMM) is a $395 Linux-based digital radio and digital TV (DVB) acolyte (or rope) receiver with digital video recorder (DVR) functions and PC connectivity. It is implemented using IBM's STB04500 set-top coffer chipset, which provides the fated DVB functions like bring shoot demultiplexing and MPEG2 decoding inexpensively.
A minimalistic, GPL'd Linux-based software implementation has made the DM7000 stylish with Linux programmers and TV machination hackers.
[b]DreamBox DM500S, DM500C, DM500, DreamBox 7020 600S 600C 800HD [/b]and so on, we also stock some MediaMVP players, power DVB alien call the tune, power supply and RS232 cable.rket. Some of these affluent launches incorporate our digital follower receiver.
The [i]Dreambox DM7000 runs on an IBM STB Morsel Pallas Pro processor clocked at 250 MHz[/i] for 350 million instructions per secondarily (MIPs). It has 64MB of THRUST, and boots from 8MB of internal before you can say 'jack robinson' memory. It can amass video on an internal tough drive (not included), on CompactFlash (via an internal CompactFlash connector), on USB celebration bear wait, or on other apparent devices.
The Linux-based software habituated to by [url=http://www.digitalvortex.info]Dreambox[/url] was originally developed in compensation DBox2, by the Tuxbox project. The Dbox2 was a proprietary design distributed sooner than KirchMedia in spite of their treat in kind TV services. The bankruptcy of KirchMedia flooded the superstore with unsold boxes on tap for the benefit of Linux enthusiasts. The Dreambox shares the primary design of the DBox2, including the Ethernet seaport and the PowerPC processor.
Its firmware is officially user-upgradable, since it is a Linux-based computer, as opposed to third-party "patching" of alternate receivers. All units advocate Reverie's own DreamCrypt conditional access (CA) pattern, with software-emulated CA Modules (CAMs) on tap for varied alternate CA systems. The built-in Ethernet interface allows networked computers to access the recordings on the internal petrified disks on some Dreambox models. It also enables the receiver to store digital copies of DVB MPEG deliver streams on networked filesystems or publish the streams as IPTV to VideoLAN and XBMC Media Center clients. Unlike myriad PC based PVR systems that manipulate free-to-air exemplar of DVB receiver cards, the built-in conditional access allows receiving and storing encrypted content.
In 2007, Illusion Multimedia also introduced a non-Linux based Dreambox receiver, the DM100, their lone to entertain, continuous on unspecified components, but stillness featuring an Ethernet port and a USB port.[1] The speed of the USB haven is not specified, the maker alone says it is of B type, the unified ground on peripherals connected to PCs.

Hey guys we would like to recognize things far[url=http://www.digitalvortex.info] CCcam[/url], Is that ok with you? Here is a few of our questions from us all.
Birthday card sharing is a method aside which uncontrolled receivers obtain coincident access to a buy off tv network, using anecdote legitimate conditional access subscription card. Typically, the valid carte de visite is attached to a bosom computer or Dreambox which is connected to the Internet, and is configured to outfit the legitimately decrypted pilot guarantee to other receivers who request the information. This decrypted dominate express is then acquainted with to decode an encrypted conditional access mending, as though each other receiver were using its own subscription card.
As technology has made the sanctuary of smartcards in conditional access systems grow, playing-card sharing has transform into a more popular method of pirate decryption. Much of the evolution of practical joker sharing ironmongery and software has entranced pinpoint in Europe where national boundaries fantasies that retirement community users are proficient to receive sidekick tube signals from numberless countries but are unable to legally subscribe to them well-earned to licensing restrictions on broadcasters.
Because the to the fullest of the contain information is so tiny (instances 16 bytes), expression of the master words exceeding to one side area networks to sundry different set surpass boxes is easily thinkable on a stamping-ground internet connection. This has sparked touched in the head the birth of sharing network groups, in which users can access the gather next to sharing their price cards with the crowd, and in drive, being adept of receiving the channels which all users' cards can decrypt, as nevertheless the drug owned every unattached fee card. Other networks comprise also been created, whereby the same server has multiple true fee cards connected to it. Access to this server is then restricted to those who extend the server's p their own price fee.
Another smoke for the treatment of card sharing has transform into apparent as Europe migrates from analog to digital TV. As the tv signal turns digital, a digital set top box is needed with a view each TV in the household. Each sink peak thwack normally needs to eat its own smarting membership card in order to be clever to decrypt freebie channels. Most pay-tv providers (but not all) volunteer extra subscription cards to subscribers for a reduced tariff compared to the original first card. The reserve cards mostly satisfactorily with more restrictions than the first prankster, such as firm channels excluded from being decrypted before any probable except the (more expensive) first one. This routine is mostly dictated on the fulfilled providers (tv networks) and poses a puzzler from a consumer rights prospect, as the subscribers are essentially false to paying as regards the unchanging channels twice, whereas in the analog rapturous the channels would be unlocked on every TV in the household with at best the same fee.

The Raj
Tucked away in a basement below King Street, close to the Bristol Old Vic, The Raj has long been one of the city's most popular Indian restaurants. It first opened its doors way back in 1981, and little has changed – aside from the odd refurbishment, of course – since. It retains the same high standards it had when it launched over 30 years ago.
Menu wise, there's little in the way of contemporary thrills. Instead, the emphasis is on British curry house favourites, cooked well, with a sprinkling of lesser-seen regional dishes – in this bracket, we'd recommend the minced lamb and peas of the Keema Matar, which is worth spicing up with the optional addition of chilies – and traditional side dishes.
The basement space is relatively intimate, so advance booking is recommended if you plan on heading down at weekends. For those willing to eat a little earlier, The Raj offers an "Early Bird Menu" seven days a week. This set menu includes a large number of options for starters, side dishes and main meals, and for £15.95 you'll leave utterly stuffed.

Popular singer Amor Vittone says she's put all her hard times behind her and is ready to make a fresh start at life, and it starts with overcoming her addictions.
Amor has had a traumatic time over the last couple of years, events that culminated in her having a mental breakdown in March.
It was so intense that Amor turned to sleeping pills to help her get some rest but, as she tells YOU magazine this week, it soon became an addiction.
"Sleeping was a way to escape. I slept about two hours a night- my head was just buzzing," she said. "I took a pill to sleep then another because I wanted to be ready for the next day with my kids. But the more I slept, the more I wanted to sleep".
She admits to YOU that she may have taken a bit too many, sometimes as much as 5 a day. It became so addictive that she one day overdosed and had to be rushed to hospital.
She has been receiving help ever since and is now on the road to recovery.
Go, Amor!

Does reading about the past interest you? What if it was a make-believe past? If you are interested in a re-imagined history, historical fiction is probably for you. A genre in literature, historical fiction is a work of writing that reconstructs the past. Often inspired by history, writers of this genre will incorporate past events or people into their fictitious stories. In order to do this successfully, the story's details need to feel authentic.
If you were reading a story that takes place in the 16th century, what would you think if one of the characters picks up a cell phone? The story would lose its believability because we, as readers, know that cell phones did not exist during that time. In order to avoid losing the story's believability, writers of historical fiction need to research the story's time period. The writer should know things like what the people ate and wore, and how they talked, so readers are willing to believe in the story and keep reading.
Now, some works of historical fiction mean to be incredible, in which case the improbable or absurd details would be used purposefully. For example, in Seth Grahame-Smith's parody novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2009) the story takes place in the 19th century, and while the characters sound and read as authentic for the time, the casual interjections of man-eating zombies, while not historically accurate, are written in for the incredible effect.
In literature, historical fiction's purpose can be both to entertain and to help readers reevaluate a past society. There is some debate, however, about how much distance is needed to make the story historical fiction. Some consider it to be anything written at least 50 years after the story's events, while others say 25 years. Regardless, the idea is the same - that there needs to be noticeable distance between the time the story is written and the events written about in order for it to be considered historical.
Historical fiction will have one of three techniques. First, some will use real events, but with fictional people. A good example would be a novel about World War II, with fictitious military leaders as characters and invented scenes and dialogues. Second, some historical fiction will use fictional events, but with real people. A good example would be a novel about President George Washington that explores a fictitious affair he had with a Native American. Finally, a story may include both real events and real people. In this case, the writer must make up the scenes, dialogue, and overall plot; otherwise, the story would become nonfiction.
Let's take a look at some examples of historical fiction. First, we have The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, written in 1885 by Mark Twain. Set in the South long before the Civil War abolished slavery, this novel is told from the perspective of a young teenage Huck Finn. After running away from his drunken father, Huck hides out with Jim, a slave, who has also run away to find his long-lost wife. Twain's use of slang and authentic yet harsh vernacular helps to situate the story in an era that no longer existed. Twain's depiction of slavery and racism forced readers to reflect on the racism still plaguing the country during the late 19th century, despite the abolishment of slavery.
Next, let's take a look at Memoirs of a Geisha, written in 1997 by Arthur Golden. This novel incorporates real Japanese towns and real events during World War II to set up the fictional story of a woman named Chiyo who was sold into the geisha ring as a child. Golden uses the character Chiyo to depict the secretive, upper-class Japanese society, as well as the struggles women were facing. Though Chiyo's story is fictional, the novel itself was inspired by a real woman who helped provide Golden with the background information of geisha life. Unfortunately for Golden, the woman eventually sued him for disclosing her identity, as she began receiving death threats for breaking the geisha's code of silence.
Finally, let's look at The Accursed, written in 2013 by Joyce Carol Oates. This novel is set in the college town of Princeton, New Jersey. It involves real historical people of the early 20th century, people like Woodrow Wilson, Grover Cleveland, and Mark Twain. While many of Oates' characters are real, the events that ''haunt'' this novel are fictitious. The Accursed explores a curse that plagues the town and its rich families. Its fantastical inclusion of vampires, ghosts, and demonic creatures blend with the seemingly authentic historical timeline of the town and its community to make an otherworldly phenomenon seem believable.
Historical fiction is a literary genre that reconstructs past events in fictional stories. Common characteristics of this writing genre are the inclusion of historical events or historical people, invented scenes and dialogue, as well as authentic and believable details.
In order to make the story feel authentic for the reader, writers must research the era they are writing about so that they can incorporate the appropriate language, setting, and characteristics. Three techniques of historical fiction are to include real events and fictional people, fictional events and real people, or real events and real people.
Great examples of historical fiction in literature include The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden, and The Accursed by Joyce Carol Oates. By writing about real events and real people in history, these three novels create an authentic air to their make-believe stories exciting to read.

What Exactly Is Orgone?
"Orgone" from Wikipedia.com
Orgone energy is an idea which was proposed and promoted in the 1930s by psychoanalyst Wilhelm Reich, who originated the term to describe a universal life force.[1] Reich, originally part of Freud's Vienna circle, believed that Freud's concept of libido had an actual biological basis,[2] and developed a therapeutic practice that was ostensibly designed to open up this bodily energy in the belief - following Freud - that healthy psychological state derived from uninhibited libidinal flow. This biophysical theory eventually developed into the concept of orgone (a word coined from the same root as "organism" and "orgasm"): which Reich saw as a massless, omnipresent substance, similar to luminiferous aether, but more closely associated with vital, living energy than inert matter. Orgone would coalesce and create organization on all scales, from the smallest microscopic units - called bions in orgone theory - to macroscopic structures like organisms, clouds, or even galaxies.[3] Reich's follower Charles R. Kelley went so far as to claim that orgone was the creative substratum in all of nature, comparable to Mesmer's animal magnetism, the Odic force of Carl Reichenbach and Henri Bergson's élan vital.[1] Reich believed that many diseases, and particularly cancer, were caused by deficits or constrictions in the flow of orgone in the body, and developed specially designed "orgone accumulators" which supposedly charged the body with orgone collected from the atmosphere.[4] These devices were distributed as devices to improve general health and increase sexual potency, and later were adopted into tools such as cloudbusters, devices intended to stimulate rainfall.
History The concept of orgone belongs to Reich's later work, after he immigrated to the US. Reich's early work was based on the Freudian concept of the libido, though influenced by sociological understandings with which Freud disagreed but which were to some degree followed by other prominent theorists such as Herbert Marcuse and Carl Jung. While Freud had focused on a solipsistic conception of mind in which unconscious and inherently selfish primal drives (primarily the sexual drive, or libido) were suppressed or sublimated by internal representations (cathexes) of parental figures (the superego), for Reich libido was a life-affirming force repressed by society directly. For example, in one of his better known analyses Reich observes a worker's political rally, noting that participants were careful not to violate signs that prohibited walking on the grass; Reich saw this as the state co-opting unconscious responses to parental authority as a means of controlling behavior.[11] He was expelled from the Institute of Psycho-analysis because of these disagreements over the nature of the libido and his increasingly political stance and was forced to leave Germany very soon after Hitler came to power.[12] Reich with one of his cloudbusters, which he said could manipulate streams of orgone to produce rain. However, Reich took an increasingly bioenergetic view of libido. In the early 20th century, when molecular biology was in its infancy, developmental biology in particular still presented mysteries that made the idea of a specific life energy respectable, as was articulated by theorists such as Hans Driesch. As a psycho-analyst Reich aligned such theories with the Freudian libido, while as a materialist he believed such a life-force must be susceptible to physical experiment. He wrote in The Function of the Orgasm; "Between 1919 and 1921, I became familiar with Driesch's 'Philosophie des Organischen' and his 'Ordnungslehre'...Driesch's contention seemed incontestable to me. He argued that, in the sphere of the life function, the whole could be developed from a part, whereas a machine could not be made from a screw..... However, I couldn't quite accept the transcendentalism of the life principle. Seventeen years later I was able to resolve the contradiction on the basis of a formula pertaining to the function of energy. Driesch's theory was always present in my mind when I thought about vitalism. The vague feeling I had about the irrational nature of his assumption turned out to be justified in the end. He landed among the spiritualists."[13] The concept of orgone was the result of this work in the psycho-physiology of libido. After his migration to the US, Reich began to speculate about biological development and evolution, and then branched out into much broader speculations about the nature of the universe.[1] Believing he had detected "bions" - self-luminescent sub-cellular vesicles visible in decaying materials, and presumably present universally - he first conceived them as electrodynamic or radioactive entities, as had the Ukrainian biologist Alexander Gurwitsch, but later concluded from his research that he had discovered an entirely unknown but measurable force, which he then named "orgone",[1] a pseudo-Greek formation probably from org- "impulse, excitement" as in org-asm, plus -one as in ozone (the Greek neutral participle, virtually *οργων).[14] For Reich neurosis became a physical manifestation he called "body armor" - deeply seated tensions and inhibitions in the physical body that were not separated from any mental effects that might be observed.[15] He developed a therapeutic approach he called vegetotherapy that was aimed at opening and releasing this body armor so that free instinctive reflexes - which he considered a token of psychic well-being - could take over.

EDITORIAL: Gotta ask yourself what Hillary Clinton has promised America's underbelly of sex industries when both pimps and pornographers endorse her because they feel she's the best candidate to further their business model . . . of pimping YOUR DAUGHTERS to the world as entertainment.
A vote for Hillary Clinton is a vote to turn America into the world's biggest brothel where your daughters are the merchandise for sale. Dennis Hof would love that happening and since Porn Valley pimps all their industry owned pornstars, obviously, they would too!
Bill Clinton with Bunny Ranch prostitutes
Pornstars with Bill Clinton in Monte Carlo
This could be your daughter next. After being influenced by feminist candidate, Hillary Clinton.
Porn stars love Hillary Clinton
"I could never vote GOP," says Nina Hartley, the legendary performer, director, and self-described feminist. To date, Hartley has played Hillary Clinton in porn movies a whopping four times, and Hillary's got her vote, too. "If Hillary got the nomination I'd vote for her," she says. According to Hartley, Hillary is "a corporate Democrat" and "a creature of the Machine, as well as a Clinton, so I don't expect her to be a Girl Scout." While Hartley agrees with Hillary's stance on health care and reproductive rights, she says, "I know I'd dislike her stance on decriminalizing consensual sex work." As Hartley sees it, Hillary has "her heart in the right place," in terms of public service, but she's "had to compromise to get where she is."
Hartley's not alone in her love of Hillary. "I'll proudly vote for Hillary," says Kit Maloney, founder and CEO of O'actually, a Boston-based, angel investor-backed adult content startup. For Maloney, who holds a graduate degree in gender and social policy from the London School of Economics, voting for Hillary makes good business sense. "We are a site devoted to women's sexual pleasure," says Maloney. "Whether it's ensuring reproductive rights or equal pay, Hillary has the most impressive track-record for supporting policy that betters the lives of women."
Not everybody in porn hoping to vote for Hillary is a woman. Brad Armstrong, a longtime performer and director for Wicked Pictures, says, "I'd have to go with Hillary." To his mind, the Clintons are "at least a little kinky." In Armstrong's opinion, "Bill's a stud, and you know that despite all those flowery business suits, Hillary's got a little naughty in her, too." At least in theory, as far as Armstrong can tell, the Clintons are the porn-friendly choice for president.
Jeff Dillon, who's a consultant for adult site GameLink, plans on voting for Hillary because he thinks she's the candidate most likely to protect the porn industry from its number one enemy: piracy. Dillon expects her "pro-American worker" stance "will lead to more laws against foreign sites allowing distribution of American copyrighted material, which has had a huge impact on the adult industry." He predicts a Hillary presidency would provide the porn industry with safe harbor from government intervention. "I don't believe she will go on witch hunts against the adult industry like Bush did," he says. "She will focus on real issues that our nation is facing, like healthcare, our prison system, equal rights, education, [and] clean energy."
Colin Rowntree, the CEO of Wasteland Studios, says a vote for Hillary is a vote for the economy. "Aside from the ObamaCare camel designed by a committee disaster, the economy is now in better shape than it has been in years after the questionable motivations of the Bush dynasty and their Republican and corporate cohorts," he says. And what's good for the economy could be good for the porn industry, which was hard it by the Great Recession.
An Ex-porn star lean right
Mary Carey is no stranger to politics. In California's 2003 gubernatorial recall election, she ran for governor of California as an independent — she wasn't elected but came in tenth out of 135 candidates — and in 2005, she announced her intent to run for lieutenant governor of California as an independent — and then declared herself a Republican after attending a Republican fundraiser (although she dropped out of the race in 2006 after her mother jumped off a four-story building). Today, she's retired from performing in front of the cameras, but she appears as a feature dancer at strip clubs across America and hosts "The Mary Carey Happy Hour" radio show on porn production company Vivid Entertainment Group's Vivid Radio channel on Sirius XM.
"Right now, I'm planning on reporting Republican," Carey says. Still, she says, "I'm very torn between Jeb Bush and Marco Rubio." She's leaning towards Rubio — for personal and political reasons. "I like that Marco Rubio is married to a [former] Dolphins cheerleader means we'd have a hot first lady," she says. As for Rubio, "I think he's the hottest candidate out there, and he would be by far one of the hottest presidential candidates of all time." Plus, she says, "I love his stance on foreign policy."
That said, she'd consider a vote for Jeb. "I've always liked him," she says. "I was never a big fan of either Bush, until I went to fundraisers, and I loved Republicans." Some may think Democrats are more porn-friendly, but as far as Carey is considered, Republicans are porn fans, too. "I got hit on by more drunk Republicans than I get hit on when I go to the AVN awards, which is like the porn awards," she confided. "I think Republicans are fun. I want to have a fun president."
Several years ago, Carey stated publicly that when she was 35, she would consider running for president. Now that she's 35, she reveals, she's not sure the timing is right. "I think right now I'm focusing on my radio career, but a little further down the line I'd like to focus on politics," she says. "I think politics is so fun. And I want to give it my full attention."
Overall, Carey doesn't think a Republican president would give the porn industry too much trouble. "I think that right now our country is having so many bigger problems that I don't think if a Republican did come into office, I think that worrying about the adult industry would be number 1,022 on his to-do list," she says. "If a Republican comes into office and starts cracking down on adult, they're focusing on the wrong things. The adult industry is a big money-making machine in the U.S., so let's keep the money coming into the United States."
People in porn endorse Bernie Sanders, too
"Bernie Sanders!" That's Joanna Angel, the queen of alt-porn and owner of BurningAngel. Angel, who is Jewish, would love to see a Jewish president in 2016. "I would love to see a Jew in the White House!" she exclaims. "And his democratic socialist platform is very friendly to small businesses like mine." Sanders might not be able to "come out and say, 'I like pornographers,'" she says, but "he implies it by being very pro-freedom of speech and not having any pro-censorship platforms as part of his campaign." For her, Bernie is a kindred spirit. "I love his DIY campaign funding," she says. "It's really punk rock!"
"Bernie Sanders definitely has our attention," says Katie, a co-founder of The Worst Drug, a tech startup that aggregates porn GIFs. "We aren't single issue voters, and the adult industry would not be our single issue, even if we were," she says. "I feel far more strongly about the future of the internet, technology, and global communication in all forms than I do about adult content in particular."
Another The Worst Drug co-founder, Raj, dissents. "I'm voting for Scott Walker," he says, because it'll improve their adult-focused company's bottom line. "Walker supports abstinence-only sex education, which we all know is a gift to niche and deviant porn sites."
A vote for Rand Paul
John Stagliano, the adult producer and director known as "Buttman," who went toe-to-toe with the Department of Justice in a 2010 obscenity trial that resulted in all charges against him being dropped, says he's voting for Rand Paul because he's "the only one who can save the world!" Stagliano says, "Hillary would do well in the Republican primary, while most Republicans pile on the security state, NSA, TSA, and anti-terrorist bandwagon." As he views it, the whole thing's a tossup. "When The Donald and Amy Schumer are saying the same thing, although for different reasons, we know that there are wide cracks in our culture." He concludes, "Whose antiwar now? Maybe Rand. Save us!"
Waka Flocka What?
Daniel Metcalf, an industry publicist, is thinking outside the box. "We need someone in the White House who has traditionally taken a strong stand in support of social enterprise projects in the developing world, and whose followers include the next generation of change agents," he says. "It is for those two foundational reasons that I will be supporting Independent candidate Juaquin James Malphurs, best known as Waka Flocka Flame, in 2016."
For now, Zak Smith, an adult performer and artist, remains undecided. He has one guiding light on Election Day: "I always vote as far left as the ballot will let me."

Gemini Characteristics
and Gemini Personality
Keep in mind that the Gemini Sign is the sign
of the twin... There is a part of them that
needs love and security, and then there's the
stronger part of them that needs stimulation
and novelty. To remain in a relationship with
them you must be able to satisfy their emotional,
mental and sexual needs. They love to laugh,
travel, spend money, and are eager for new experiences.

Since they know a little about many things
and almost everything interests them, you can
make a great impression by discussing a topic
in depth. They appreciates honesty and sincerity
in a person, so make sure you speak your mind,
even if you don't share the same point of view.
Additionally, don't always stick to one topic
of interest, since variety is something they
enjoy and find intriguing. These very social
and energetic people tend to have a sharp tongue.
They are quick to criticize and tend to use
words as weapons, so if you're an emotional
person that takes things to heart, you may want
to avoid this relationship.

When in love, they tend to be quite possessive
and inclined to be jealous. Never give them
reason to suspect that you're not faithful to
them, they don't like to be deceived, and won't
put up with it. Once a Gemini has found someone
that they can trust and that fills all their
needs, they will be an exciting and devoted

Weblog of the Sydney Traditionalist Forum
Every so often I am provided with a piece of writing, where the author purports to be a "conservative", so that I may offer comment as to its bona fides. The state of popular conservatism being what it is, particularly among the student population, I have become accustomed to being presented with confused pieces where the authors produce a milieu of neo-conservatism and classic liberalism, spiced up with a few libertarian impulses for good measure. However, this time I have been asked to comment upon one of the most nauseatingly misguided pieces of writing I have ever had to comment upon, so-much-so that it serves as a useful example of what young conservatives on campus should use as a guiding example of what to avoid.
The piece entitled "Islam and Islamophobia in Australia", published in Sydney University's Conservative Club journal The Sydney Tory1 is wonderfully instructive in exposing everything that is wrong with self-styled "conservatism" in young Australia today. The author confesses to being a student – hopefully he is receptive to learning. The point I wish to illustrate is that the use of "conservatism" as a descriptor of the views he is promoting at Sydney University will actually do conservatism² significant damage. With any luck he'll realise that he isn't a conservative at all – not even close – and promptly stop using the term.
As a general example, when one reads a title like this and is told that the author is writing for the purposes of a "conservative publication" the last thing one expects is for the author to co-opt and endorse the epithets of his ideological enemies. Well, sadly, this is precisely what this writer does with this modernist homage to ideas usually found in the Green Left Weekly. Instead of eschewing terms like "multiculturalism" and "Islamophobia" as if being offered an ebola sandwich, they are given credence and are embraced as useful terms by which we should be guided. I have rejected the ebola sandwich, but here I find myself being asked if I'd like "fries with that."
The piece is designed to praise the reaction of the Australian public vis-à-vis Muslims in the wake of the Martin Place executions.³ Australians are congratulated for their "maturity" which is "testament to the multicultural values" which have supposedly "underpinned Australian society" in recent decades. It is alarming enough that the writer is so supportive of this social engineering practice, but his credibility is in jeopardy when he cites as "evidence" of the Australian public's virtue, the public hoax organised by extreme left activists known as #Illridewithyou. Despite his professed concern with extremism, the author unwittingly cites it in aid of his cause.
Neither does the author see the contradiction (which is almost as large as a catalogue of terrorist acts committed in the name of Islam over the last decade) in his defending multiculturalism whilst simultaneously denouncing State intervention and government control. If ever there was a policy of social engineering in Australia – imposed yet unvoted for – that the citizenry continually decries in every straw poll, then multiculturalism was it.4 Specifically – time and time again – it has been shown that the average Australian has a decided preference on the question of Islam be it immigration, integration, schooling or dress. This is one sure example of the "Political Elites" imposing upon the populace what they know to be good for them.
This is where we start to get to the heart of the matter. The writer makes no reference to Australia's Anglophone culture – it's needs or preservation.5 He is as oblivious to the very concept of Tradition as an infant is to a Stephen Hawking lecture. What he does understand of Australian culture however is our "undercurrent of xenophobia" whose apogee manifested in the "notorious" White Australia policy. Like a cat o' nine-tails to whip the convicts with, straight out of the uber-left rhetorical playbook, the writer throws unsympathetic and un-analysed clichés at the citizenry he was just praising … or was he? You see, the Australia he calls xenophobic isn't just any Australia – what this writer means is those Anglo-Australians.6
So much for the "melting pot of Australian multiculturalism" he praises. The cracks appear within his own words as does the chip upon his shoulder. The disguise provided for the autobiographical anecdotes is so thin it's like calling a handkerchief a burqa. Lines like "Growing up in an Australia school one also learns a number of colourful epithets for non-whites" call upon the implied authenticity of his experience. The phrasing is that of the outsider – and the focus shifts from merely 'foreign' to distinctly "non-white". The writer seems ignorant of Australian modes of acceptance that have always been pursued through rough humour, as any kiwi, pom, kraut, frog, box-head, wop, mick, canuck and saffer knows (all whilst being particularly White). Such facets of the Australian character (and he means Anglo-Australian) are described as either "explicit" or "implicit" racism, they are never actually understood for what they are.
Clearly our writer takes this very personally, and in so doing acknowledges unwittingly that he doesn't in fact understand the Anglo-Australian at all. In fact his entire attitude to Anglo-Australia is hostile throughout the article – so much for the assertion "most ethnic groups have assimilated effectively." If his intention was to defuse any animosity Anglo-Australians may have towards more recent migrants, he is likely to achieve the opposite effect. His attitude screams "I don't want Anglos being self-aware. If they buck up against any encroaching Islamisation – then I'll be next! Yikes!" When Anglo-Australia considers its position re Islamification, especially in light of overseas experience (like any good conservative exercising prudence would do), the young writer sees stormtroopers. Just like Ben Kenobi, he waves a hand across our face telling us "these aren't the droids you're looking for". Well call me Jabba – but that mind trick doesn't work on me. This attitude of "keep calm and only worry about extremists" misses the entire point and doesn't address the underlying anxiety, at all.
All his defensiveness however reflects a matter of even deeper concern for any conservative. The writer's conception of society is clearly liberal and left-liberal at that. He does acknowledge that migrants have changed Australia (wonder how the Anglos feel about that?) but justifies this (hmmm – he must therefore believe that change creates threat, otherwise he wouldn't feel compelled to justify it) by suggesting that such changes have always been "through the established legal and judicial system". Ignoring the obvious falsity of this statement that the endless shootings in Western Sydney attest to (let's do a demographic analysis of the names involved in all the news reports shall we?), what it reveals is the standard liberal-left position. Like a sociology student curled up on a bean-bag with his copy of Rawls, the writer is 'Locked' into a position of regarding our society as being a positive legal construct and nothing more. The only notion of "organic" in this writer's world is the tofu he pinched from the Socialist Alliance member's salad at his regular lunch table. He identifies the main concern of Australians as the looming spectre of Sharia Law – utterly oblivious to the fact that many Australians, even as young as their mid-thirties, have seen their entire society transformed beyond recognition and without their permission. What do we expect, however, from someone who demonstrates absolutely no understanding of the Traditions and aesthetics treasured by Anglo-Australia?
Just when you think the sympathies with all the enemies of Conservatism have dissipated, our esteemed writer recruits the feminists on to his Anglophobic bandwagon – I guess misery loves company. His criticism of Sharia (but never Islam, that would be a liberal taboo) is its treatment of women. Of all matters first on a Conservative's mind – The Common Law? The Rule of Law? Sources of authority? Threats to cultural Tradition? – no, it's misogyny and feminism, every conservative's friend. Standing up for a political ideology that takes as its starting point that objectivity is an illusion socially constructed by white men to maintain a power superstructure isn't chalking up a win in the conservative column. This fellow needs to admit that he's a liberal and stop trying to pass himself off as a conservative.
At this point even the writer's "cuckservative" credentials are at Defcon Othello. No matter how many Desdamonas leave the harem throwing strawberry pattern hijabs at him, his rhetoric is unsustainable in anything other than a liberal paradigm.
This brings us to the final piece of the puzzle – why does the writer pass himself off as a conservative? He is so clearly a political liberal why does he even want to be included in a conservative publication? The big clue comes with his phrase "Secular Australian attitudes have historically regarded any non-Western influence with caution." Despite the fact that he uses the term "secular" enough to make Saint-Simon blush I think we have a "liberal with lacunae" on our hands. Implied in what he says is that non-secular Australians are different. Despite the fact that our writer outwardly promotes a series of political beliefs and philosophies hostile to the church, I bet we have a believer on our hands. Not just any believer, but one who in spite of his modernist tendencies stands firm against the great anti-life troika: abortion, homosexuality and euthanasia. I bet London to a brick that he takes a hardline Christian position on these matters making him awkward company with his fellow liberals less religiously inclined. So, hearing the religious right criticised as "conservatives" by the atheist left, he assumes the title without looking any deeper into it.
Well sorry dear writer, you can hold a Bible so tightly that your fingerprints can be read from Adam's birthday to the Second Coming – but that doesn't make you a conservative. It means that you have a set of opinions within a very narrow bandwidth that you and conservatives can agree upon – but for very different reasons.
One would have thought that his espoused "privatisation" of religious belief would cause great conflict with his desire to use state power to regulate what people do with their own bodies? He isn't going to tell me about the 'common good" now is he? Whose common good would that be in this ghettoised polis held together by mere positive law?
This writer clings to this utopic hope that, through the correct therapy of multiculturalism, Australia can have its world immanent paradise of harmony. All it takes is for Anglo-Australia to forsake its identity and meaning. They'll try nicely – but eventually some state coercion may be required – as it always has when taking note of history. The writer should consider his Huxley more than his Orwell. The kindly controllers can be even more effective at lulling a population into oblivion. No doubt I need more "education" and perhaps even "medication" and "psychotherapy".
The concluding, sickening paragraphs of this piece show a concern to ensure that the "terrorist archetype" is not "projected on all people of the faith." The usual, rote learned, push button responses about community and government working together, susceptible young males, "moderate" Islam and so on are churned out like a feast of fairy floss for Pavlov's dogs. For good measure – where would a giant rainbow cake of liberal sugar baked by Unikitty be without its cherry on top of reductio ad hitleram. We are warned sternly that "One does not need to look far back in history to see the horrifying consequences of vilification of an entire religion." This coming from a writer who a few paragraphs earlier was praising the government's "vehement opposition to the controversial 18C law"7 (by the way – how's the government's commitment going on that front? By any chance did they get spooked by any of these marvellously "integrated" ethnic groups concerned about "horrifying consequences of vilification of an entire religion?").
This whole sad affair suffers from critical defects based upon ignorance. Not a single conservative text, writer, philosophical stand point, idea or thinker is cited throughout the whole piece. It is a monument to liberalism and the minuscule flashes of non-liberal sympathy don't save it from its ultimate fate. Sprinkling some black truffle on a dog turd isn't going to make me want to eat it.
