Vertigo Gender Critique
The 1958 film Vertigo is surrounded by themes of control, dominance, and illusion surrounding a male and female power struggle. One of Vertigos main themes is to create the perfect woman. This is also seen in the story The Yellow Wallpaper. The parallels with Vertigo's protagonist's quest for the ideal woman are evident with John and the treatment of his wife. John takes the authority over his wife like how Scottie took authority over Judy when he tries to recreate Madeline's image. Although John and Scottie are similar in character, their motives are different. John wants to keep his wife quite as she slips slowly into madness. She is left helpless and bedridden but he just ignores her pleas for help. After Scottie witnesses Madeline's death, he becomes completely lost in his world of fantasy and is motivated to transform Judy. While Scottie loses his sanity, John does not. It is John's wife who loses her sanity in The Yellow Wallpaper while Judy is the sane one in Vertigo. While both characters are different in their means of control, their dominance and desire for control over women is apparent.
In Vertigo, Scottie is driven to transform Judy into Madeline even though he does not know why. "He made you over just like I made you over—only better. Not only the clothes and the hair, but the looks and the manners and the words . . . And then what did he do? Did he train you? Did he rehearse you? Did he tell you exactly what to do and what to say?". Scottie says this as he drags Judy up the tower to throw her off. For the first time there is a similarity between him and the antagonist Gavin Elster.
Although John is obviously the villain in "The Yellow Wallpaper" the context of the story would like us to believe this is not true. While John's treatment of his wife's depression is wrong, he does not necessarily do anything to make it worse. Just by ignoring her he is mistreating her. The problem with John in the story is that...

My friend wants me to find him a good website host for him to host a webpage to sell his artwork.
I think most sites that you are able to sell things are not free sites and that is not a problem.
I do not know how they work and if he would want it, but if you where able to do a checkout as well that might be of interest.
Any other thoughts ideas I may need or should look into? Bandwidth, web address, etc.........

The D&AD Annual 2008: 'Digital vs Anti Digital'
Adland quotes D&AD President Simon Waterfall commenting, "The theme of 'Digital vs Anti Digital' represents the evolution of the digital industry. Clients and creatives are moving away from 'Can we do this technically?' to 'Should we do this for the brand?'. Digital design today is more joined up, more integrated and more about brand behavior than bits and bytes - what a great time to be a part of this industry." More from Adland here.

Q — How do think the ruling has changed Iowa?Keep in mind that the Matthew Shepard Scholarship has provided financial assistance for 120 GLBT students here in Iowa since 2000 (many years before gays began legally marrying). Recipients need to be graduating high school seniors with a GPA of 3.0 or higher and an ACT score of 22 or better who have demonstrated "high moral and ethical standards" and who have demonstrated community services. Think Progress wisely notes that there are many specialty scholarships that specifically rewards African Americans, Latinos, women, and Christians (among other populations of people), but Golding is really concerned because Matthew Shepard Scholarship winners are all G, L, B, or T. It's also worth noting that this is a privately funded scholarship. People are not required to apply, nor is the government funding it.
Golding — "I don't know how the ruling has dramatically changed, but I can see changes in the schools. I am a volunteer in the high schools. And in my daughter's high school, they have a scholarship for a gay student. And I am curious what the sexual orientation of a student should be for a scholarship in high school. That troubles me."
Q — Is that the only criteria for the scholarship?
"Well there's academics, but you must be a declared GLBT student in order to apply for it. That troubles me."
Let me also remind you of the story one of last year's scholarship winners, Ben Alley, who is able to go to college because of the Matthew Shepard Scholarship despite the fact that his parents kicked him out as a high school sophomore after learning he was gay. This formerly homeless teen has worked full-time and continued with high school since 16. His parents left him alone to sink or swim based off their religious beliefs. The Matthew Shepard Scholarship ensures that he has the opportunity to attend college and make something of his life.
But Golding is "troubled" that this scholarship exists...

Hi Bruce,
THanks, Excellent point.
I have a pretty good feel for wheel bearing prelaods. I had class eight trucks for thirty years and got plenty of practice R&R'ing wheels and axles.. All the bearing manufactures had a torque spec for the inner (and outer) nuts. I followed their instructions.
I called a local shop to see about getting gaskets to shim the axles. No got. Ordering would take a few days so I decided to make them. I've got a lifetime supply of gasket material of various thicknesses and applications. I make enough to finish the job.

Never miss another 'Scrawl' show
Long before the Riot Grrrl movement opened the floodgates for the widespread emergence of female artists in the male-dominated world of indie rock, the Columbus, Ohio-based trio Scrawl carved out their own tough-minded yet feminine niche within the underground community. Formed by singer/guitarist Marcy Mays, bassist Sue Harshe, and drummer Carolyn O'Leary.
Scrawl tour dates
Shannon Wright
With folk harmonics, the spell of her guitar and the opaque poetry of the lyrics, prepare to be enthralled. A visceral, abrasive, and raw form of post-punk expressionism. Wright's guitar-playing, and her approach to composition are simply unique.
Shannon Wright tour dates
Joel started playing music in around 1982, co-founding a regionally infamous post-punk group, Ein Heit, in Missoula in 1983, then later indie band Silkworm in 1988.

Lib Dem Councillor for St Jude Ward - Working for Southsea Learn more
by michaelandrewes on 22 March, 2011
Schoolchildren across the city have until Friday 8 April to nominate their lollipop lady or man, and say why they should win the title.
Children are being asked to fill in a nomination form and say why their lollipop person is the best, in 50 words or less. Forms are available from the council's road safety team (9284 1155) or from school offices.
Last year a special bravery award was also presented to Charlotte Edwards, who works near Fernhurst Junior School in Southsea but helps children from several nearby schools. The bravery award was given to Charlotte after an incident in May 2009 when she had to protect children from a disturbed man wielding a roasting fork. She put herself between him and a group of pupils to ensure their safety. The man was later jailed for six months.
Drivers should remember a lollipop stop sign means the same as a red light. Failing to stop can mean a £1,000 fine and three points on a driver's licence.Leave a comment

Ups and Downs for China's Wind-Power Program
Posted by The Power Generation Blog on Monday, September 28, 2009
There is some mixed news out of China for renewable energy supporters. Recently, China has expressed its intention to have renewable energy meet 15% of its energy needs by 2020, which would double its 2005 percentage. However, due to its massive size and creaking infrastructure, many environmental benefits may be lost.
Last year, up to 30% of China's wind-power capacity was unconnected to the energy grid. Additionally, due to wind energy's natural unreliability, the country is producing more new coal power plants that can meet and uncovered demand left by failure in the energy grid or wind-power generation. Therefore, if the grid is functioning poorly or if there is simply little or no wind-power being generated, then coal power will still fulfill China's energy needs. Since coal power plants have a length start-up time, it seems inefficient to use them as a backup source of power for wind-power turbines, though.
Another hurdle facing China's widespread adoption of renewable energy is its seemingly ancient power grid. If it wants to utilize fully renewable energy sources, it will have to reinvent its power grid utilizing smart grid technology (which we've gone over here). By having precise power allocation and management, China's power distributors can manage the existing energy more efficiently thereby reducing the overall cost and strain on the nation's energy production.
China's seeming difficulty with implementing renewable energy highlights troubles that other nations are facing with renewable energy. Besides necessitating redundant power production facilities, there is a high cost for constructing the new renewable energy plants. In addition, many people perceive renewable energy projects as costing jobs by closing down existing plants only to replace them with more efficient plants. However, the opposite is the case. Many plans to increase renewable energy production have deadlines well into the future. Within a few years, we will all have a much clearer picture of how the renewable energy movement will play out.

What is a life worth?
Beyond an act of love, passion, or lust (or all three), combined with intentional or thoughtlessness, it takes considerable effort to make a human being. And that effort can be destroyed in an instant, just as intentionally or thoughtlessly—an exploded vehicle in Iraq or a blown-up bus in London, a bullet ripping through an organ, a beating that ends in internal bleeding, an accidental blow to the head.
How does each of us determine what a life is worth? For most people, human life seems nearly sacred until our person, our family, or our property is threatened. A mother who never dreamed of killing might do so without thought if her child is endangered. A man might kill if he catches someone in the act of looting his home. Most of us will never face these circumstances, but we do have an idea of our priorities and an instinct for self-preservation.
How do we really feel when a stranger is killed? When soldiers are ambushed in action, it's sad and regrettable, but all too often they're just a face and a name, with perhaps a brief biography and some quotes. We don't have any personal attachment, and while parents may empathize with those of the fallen (and feel gratitude that it wasn't their child), and the same for girlfriends, boyfriends, brothers, sisters, spouses, it's nearly impossible to become emotionally invested beyond the superficial when it comes to most strangers (with well-publicized exceptions). Undoubtedly this is programmed into our psyches; no one could afford the energy it would take to grieve every loss as though it were personally meaningful. So our reaction tends to be, "I feel bad for the parents," "Doesn't he remind you of Steve Flynn over on Sixth Avenue?" or "What a shame."
Then there are those who invest their emotions in dead celebrities, in John F. Kennedy, Marilyn Monroe, Natalie Wood, John Lennon, Princess Diana. Years, decades, after the death, they write of their loss, sadness, and heartbreak as thought it were a deeply personal tragedy. Do such people value life? Or do the value the artificial association they have created with a person or an idea that is bigger than themselves? For such people, was it Marilyn Monroe or Princess Diana who died? Or was it the idea that died, not just of beauty, but of fantasies of lives that never existed, of their own youth and memories that began to fade long ago? Is it the lives of these celebrities that they miss and mourn, or their own lives, doomed never to achieve the impossible fantasy that no one's life can?
Soon there will be more deaths in the headlines, and the cycle begins again. Very little changes. We spend billions trying to treat and cure disease because disease will affect us and every one we know; we hope that violence, in whatever form, does not.
Every day, though, the behavior of seemingly ordinary people reveals a combination of egotism and lack of empathy for lives that are not our own. I thought of this when another case of a child in joint custody of her divorced parents was mentioned. The girl supposedly hates her time with her father, who fought bitterly for joint custody, because he ignores her. She senses that she was an object in a power struggle. It is long since over, so she seems to hold no interest for her own father. I find myself wondering how I could look into the face of my child, a face that would surely resemble mine in some ways, and not feel enough love and compassion to show it in everything I do, to feel only cold indifference. Doesn't what he helped to give her—life—have any value to him? How can he not know or not care about the effect of his indifference on his own child?
In another case, the mother has one child with one man and two children with a second man. As a toddler, the first child was not welcome in his mother's home. He has spent most of his childhood living with an uncle and aunt. How can anyone value life so little that they don't want their own child living with them, that they prefer that someone else raise them even when they have the ability and the means? Does he understand why his mother doesn't want him and can foist him off on a relative like he is an unwanted item for which there is no room? What value will he place on life when he is older?
The same boy had a docile, affectionate cat. One day, the boy's half-sister, with an established reputation as a bully, decided to scare the cat while the boy was holding it. Already, she has learned her mother's valuation of her half-brother. Predictably, the startled cat panicked and clawed the boy badly. Rather than punishing the girl for her bullying behavior, the family decided that the life of the victimized cat was forfeit. What value does life have under such circumstances, when victims are victimized twice, when they are victimized permanently?
Children are life, animals are life, trees are life, just as we as stewards of the Earth are life. Those who kill, those who destroy—they are anti-life, like matter and anti-matter. For some, it is a socially accepted hobby or habit—the hunter, the fisherman. Soldiers must kill when ordered to. Butchers slaughter animals every day of their working lives on our behalf. For others, it's an accident, a temporary suspension of judgment, the proverbial crime of passion or anger or fear. Then there are the sociopaths, who kill compulsively, without empathy or compassion. Some value the life of some but not that of others; some value life but must destroy it, however regretfully. The sociopath doesn't understand the value of life, if it is not his own.
For those who die to nourish ours and to protect it, we should never fail to feel gratitude. For those who have lost their lives, we should stir our memories. For those who have lost a life that they created, we should feel the deepest of sorrow. And for those who have taken life for the vilest of reasons, what must we feel? Hate? Contempt? Loathing? Pity? Anguish? Pity and anguish that that person could destroy the only thing of value that has been granted to us, the only thing that has meaning? Life itself, without which there is nothing.

Life-taker as anti-life. Indeed so, in some instances. But even we (former) Army officers have the *required* duty not to obey certain orders.ReplyDelete
Much to think on here, lady. I'll seen what evolutes later this fifth day of 2007.
Lord guide, Lady heal; best blessings this night.
Many Indians included thanking the animals they hunted as part of their rituals and spirituality; I was just reading about the northern hunters in 1492 edited by Alvin Josephy.ReplyDelete
I am not against legal hunting (although I realize now that isn't obvious), but against the thoughtlessness and even glee with which some killing is done.
There's a great line in a Star Trek episode after Data disobeys orders because he has found a better way to deal with the situation but doesn't have time to explain, about "I was just following orders" being used an excuse. I spend so much time questioning "authority" that I doubt I would be much use in the military. :)
The notion of returning grace for grace is part of most, erm, non-traditional {grin} paths; I feel quite uncomfortable not doing so in my own personal acts.ReplyDelete
I stopped actively hunting after I medically retired from the service. I did continue to go into the field with people I trust who were both armed and behind my back. I stopped even those trips after I started to see that same idiot glee you mention on the part of other people who I'd seen in the same hunting area for years. Had I not developed personal
objections to my hunting for personal reasons, the profound feeling of disgust based on that mindlessness would have been sufficient.
The classic excuse of 'I was only following orders' is known as the Nuremberg defence for a good reason, after all. As for questioning authority, even the military services consider it to be one of the ways to improve non-combat performance. The combat side of the question is what I'm giving more critical thought to.

TM:DESIGN by A MAN.
The AUTUMN / WINTER 2010-11 Look Book
A MAN explores the collection and the inspiration that fuelled the designers work. We take you on a contorted journey through London's old East End, speckled with the fantasy of dreams.
Production AMAN / Angel Nicholls Abigail Frieslander Photography Victoria Lewis Layout Angel Nicholls
East London dandies...
The treacherous teddy boy and the fantastically flamboyant dandy form the vibrant and attitude soaked soul that lurks within this Autumn/Winter collection. The designers had a mission to evoke the everchanging energy of TM DESIGN whilst remaining true to the essence of the brand which, has become an influential entity within British menswear. To accomplish a collection that would be equally relevant and equally enterprising would necessitate the very human trait of tapping into nostalgic memory and dreams to capture a type of nostalgia that is so rooted in rebellion, adolescence and fashion. They first study the evolution of menswear tailoring and the attitudes towards wearing a tailored garment. As we all know, the suit has been a uniform wardrobe staple to the man for centuries. However, Nancy Riegelman, author of A Guide To Drawing Fashion acknowledges a change in attitude and states that: 'tailored garments have been adopted for less formal occasionwear, to be worn in combination with casual clothes.' The designers felt that this was an important factor in illustrating the evolution of menswear. This led them to focusing on the infamous teddy boy of London's East End. Although the teddy boys were more known for causing havoc in the streets of London town in the 1950s they were also true pioneers of fashion for the younger man of that era. What's more is that with every style choice came an achingly noticeable display of attitude and playful laddish conviction.The designers display appreciation of this in the pages of the Design Sketch Book: 'The teddy boy style: fags, booze and Elvis quiffs.'
The teddy boy and his way of dressing up for every occasion showed a subtle appreciation for the British dandy. The type of man who is all about image and communicates his tastes and personality with frivolous pieces of fashion iconography. It was all about colour and extravagance. Which, the teddy boy echoes through brightly coloured socks and luxurious materials like velvet and suede.
This metaphorical digging up of the past pathed the way to memories. Dreams that spark memories of the young East End lad growing up in London, experiencing his first exploits of any and every kind while battling with the awkward transition between childhood and manhood: adolescence. They look to those childhood memories of witnessing the moon landings that inspire the basic tee collection. They look to the remembrance of childhood heroes, back when boys wanted to grow up to be astronauts to inspire the jumpsuit. They mix it up with the attitude and style of the teddy boy that informs the straight lines of the tailored jacket and rolled up details of the collection. The influence of the dandy is subtly mixed in with feminine pinks and combined with futuristic inspired silvery greys and practical fabrics that are designed to keep the water out. The collection is: East End astronaut dreaming of dandy days, booze, cigarettes and dirty streets. Angel Nicholls.

Watch Bono Help Miley Cyrus With Lyrics to 'One' at ONE/RED Concert
From L. Sullivan
Miley Cyrus performs on stage at the ONE Campaign and (RED)s concert to mark World AIDS Day at Carnegie Hall on Dec. 1, 2015 in New York City.
"We get to carry each other" is the compelling message behind U2's Hot 100 top-ten tuner "One." But don't quiz Miley Cyrus on that. Rather, pull a Bono and demonstrate it instead.
At Tuesday night's (Dec. 1) ONE/(RED) concert held at Carnegie Hall in honor of the tenth anniversaries of the two charitable organizations, U2, Jessie J, Cyrus and the Orchestra of St. Luke's teamed up for a rendition of the song.
Miley Cyrus Drops 'Lighter' Music Video: Watch
Though Cyrus missed her cue and had to ask the purple-bespectacled front man for help with the lyrics, the star-studded performance at the philanthropic event got the crowd on their feet.

peina del viento, originally uploaded by wanders.
And hes off, a neighbor´s milk duds before falling asleep, Ratatats LP3 to accompany the feeling of marching likes ants through the airport, and four flights later to Bilbao, where his host aita (dad) picks him up and a beautiful lunch of pescado and Rioja wine. Nothing happened my first day in the Basque Country, except finishing Yiddish Policemens Union, allowing me to sleep easily that night, with one mystery solved.
A small town is not very exciting when you depart with the image of an adventure ahead, only to find that your old friends are all at work and a car is hard to secure. My day trip to San Sebastian, or Donostia in Basque, helped me slow down and appreciate travelling a bit more. I walked up and down the beach, fell twice trying to climb the rocks to get this picture and probably got a sunburn. I wound myself up for four weeks at home, waiting to escape into the wild, only to find myself waiting for a car and my friends to arrive before really embarking on anything. While it sounds like a good idea to slowly build up the excitement over our trip, reaching the unknown lands of Kazakhstan a few weeks in, it is anticlimactic for someone used to jumping in to test the water. I am learning a bit about travelling alone, mostly acquiring my optimistic view that it will get easier with practice. A blind man walks into a bar where Im eating tapas. His friend buys him a drink wearing some strange electronic contraption around his neck. I dont talk to either one of them. Maybe next time. I did some reflecting on how people walk and what it says about them. No conclusions except that I may finally have overcome my long-held desire to be bow-legged so I could look tougher.
Not sure that Ill be talking to any non-profits around here as planned, with a local festival on Saturday, a compact, red Renault 21 to look at and papers to fill out for insurance before my friends arrive on Tuesday. We shall see.

Ranked as one of the top luxury hotel brands globally, the Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts manages 98 properties around the world. The new Four Seasons Hotel Seoul will offer with 317 guestrooms on 25 stories. Siemens will have another excellent reference in the hotel industry, implementing an advanced building management system in the Four Seasons Hotel in South Korea, which transcends the 5-star international standard.
With plans for a new property in Seoul, South Korea, Four Seasons was intent on selecting a security system which would ensure the highest level of security and safety for its guests and staff while providing optimal comfort everywhere and any time.
Key factors for the decision to use Siemens installations and systems were BT's proven references in the hotel industry and the ability to design a state-of-the-art security infrastructure suited to the world's most luxurious hotels. Security systems from Siemens maximize responsiveness to any security breach in the hotel. They prevent thefts or any kind of criminal activities, while ensuring impenetrable security and have been highly recognized in previous projects for sophisticated product design for the luxury hotels. The main goal is to make visitors feel safer and more comfortable. Through this contract, Siemens set up a comprehensive security system in the 25-story Four Seasons Hotel Seoul including CCTVs, Access Control systems, a Security Management System and an advanced Help Assistance System.
Through the implemented access control systems the security staff is able to manage and control the access to all areas of the property. This is achieved through a variety of modern electronic identification methods, which only allow access to an area once the individual has been identified and his or her access rights confirmed after comparison to the profile database on a central processing unit.
The installed video surveillance and management systems support the security personnel and keep the whole facility under continuous observation for maximum guest security. This is achieved through strategically positioned fixed or adjustable dome cameras in places such as the foyer, loading ramps, elevators and other public areas. In cases of uncertainty, the cameras, which are centrally monitored and operated, can zoom in on relevant areas to help determine whether an alarm is genuine or not. If it is, the appropriate intervention can be initiated without delay and the recordings can later be easily accessed and used as evidence. At the same time, costs and personnel distractions caused by false alarms are minimized.
The benefit of these modern solutions lies in the ability to define, reassign or invalidate an individual's access rights at a moment's notice as well as centrally logging every access attempt in real-time. This is extremely helpful should an incident such as theft or vandalism require investigation or an auditable video trail to pursue charges in a court of law. Furthermore, these solutions can be used for other purposes such as time-limited zoning scenarios, whereby specific individuals such as the housekeeping staff may only enter the premises through specific entrances at pre-defined times.
Siemens has developed a comprehensive portfolio of security solutions which, irrespective of the facility's size, construction, furnishings or organizational structure, will give security staff complete control and management capabilities for any situation. And all this is done without infringing on the facility's operations or on the comfort and freedom of the guests. With thousands of customers ranging from small, boutique hotels to vast luxury resorts, from casinos to cruise ships, and from wellness centers to residential care facilities, Siemens truly understands the facility operators' needs and how to keep all guests safe and secure – everywhere and any time.

Arewa Youths Want Buhari To Urgently Act Against Nnamdi Kanu, Aso Rock Cabal
Arewa Youths in one of the it meetings
Arewa Youth
Forum in a move to check the activities of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB)
yesterday in Kaduna and asked President Muhammadu Buhari to immediately
re-arrest leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) Nnamdi Kanu.
In a statement
signed by AYF national president, Alhaji Gambo Ibrahim Gujungu, the youths advised
President Buhari to immediately dismiss the so-called cabal in Aso Rock, who
according to them frustrated Vice President Yemi Osinbajo from effectively
discharging his duties as acting president. They argued that the cabal has been
derailing the wheel of progress of his administration.
Part of it
read, "As the umbrella organisation of all youths in the north, we are worried
of the descend to regionalism by major actors in the country but the Federal
Government is to be blamed.
"Nnamdi Kanu
has violated all his bail conditions but the judiciary has kept mute. The
Federal Government on the order hand is allowing him to carry on as if he is
operating a country with the Nigerian state.
"We are
happy to see that Mr. President has improved tremendously and our prayer is
that Allah (SWT) will continue to strengthen him, hear our prayers so that he
would now have the strength to carry on with the work that Nigerians
overwhelmingly mandated him to do for them in 2015.
"As critical
stakeholders that have been praying and keeping vigil for your safe return,
youths from the 19 northern states implore you to as a matter of urgency
immediately send out the cabals that have been impeding on the progress of your
"This cabals that many referred to as the
hyenas and the jackals have been hindering men of goodwill in your administration
from functioning properly including the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo and the
earlier you send them away the better, before they derail your government.
"Also after
a cursory look at the state of the nation and the increasing division caused by
inflammatory statements from almost every part of the country, AYF is calling
on you sir, who heads the Federal Government to start biting instead of
barking. We are happy that the Acting President Yemi Osinbajo has finally
decided to take the situation in the country serious and deal with hate speech.
the activities of characters like Nnamdi Kanu of the Indigenous People of
Biafra (IPOB) which has given rise to Coalition of Northern Youths quit notice,
the Niger Delta Agitators ultimatum and its consequent fall out in the country
need to be dealt with immediately.
"We are of
the believe that the Federal Government has the capacity to reign in all those
threatening the cooperate existence of the country and any attempt to fail in
that duty is capable of bringing about dire consequences." The youths said they were happy that Osinbajo has branded hate speech as an act
of terrorism and demanded that the Federal Government immediately start
treating perpetrators of hate speeches as terrorists.

After sharing a beautiful and passionate night the inevitable happens and Rosie tracks Alexius down to tell him what's happened. From there she discovers why Alexius really came looking for her.
A Ring to Secure His Heir kept me captured from page one. It was fast paced. The characters are very likeable Rosie is tiny in stature but large in personality and attitude.
She has no trouble sticking up for herself to Alexius or speaking her mind. Alexius, even thou he accepts his responsibilities immediately doesn't let anyone in and can feel him self slowly falling apart at the seams when he realises that little Rosie may just be the one... of course things don't run smoothly.
I really liked this book so much I couldn't decide between a 4 or 5 star! I was thoroughly entertained, I was transported to beautiful locations, Alexius and Rosie were very likeable I couldn't put it down and I'll definitely read it again and I'd highly recommend it.
I'll definitely be adding Lynne Graham to my "look out for" list.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., (KTHV) -- Jack Greene, a convicted murderer and the most recent death row inmate to be scheduled for execution, appeared before the parole board Wednesday.
In hopes of sparing his life, Jack Greene's attorneys have argued that he has mental health problems and is not competent enough for execution.
At his clemency hearing Wednesday, Greene said that couldn't be further from the truth, and his victim's family agrees.
Jack Greene stood hunched over, unable to sit still, pushing paper towels in his ear to the point blood runs down his neck, and frantically breathing. Still, he argued, he's not mentally ill.
"This is not a competency hearing like these lawyers want to present it to be," Greene said. "This is a clemency hearing. Every court in the land, everywhere my case has been filed, I am totally competent to be executed. I am totally competent to be executed."
He spoke in his own defense, as he said he believes his defense attorneys are working with the Department of Correction to cover up years of torture and injuries that made him this way.
"I'm not going to let these people make me out to be something that I'm not," Greene said. "I accept responsibility for my actions. Killing me will be a blessing. It will do one thing. It won't give no closure to this family. I don't see. It won't give no closure to anybody. But killing me will do one thing for sure, it will put an end to the array of torture on me for 13 years."
He has admitted to and was convicted of torturing and murdering 69 year-old retired pastor, Sidney Burnett in 1991, days after killing his own brother in North Carolina.
"It looks like I purposefully tried to torture the man to death, through physical injury, through cuts," Greene said. "Finally I got to the point where I couldn't do it anymore. I knew what I was doing to him. I couldn't stand what I was doing to him. So I put the gun to his head and killed him."
Greene alleged that he never planned to hurt Burnett, only to steal his truck.
"Torture is what my family has gone through," Sidney Burnett's daughter, Irene Burton said. "Torture is my mother finding my dad's body. Torture is waiting 26 years for justice, only to hear it may not happen."
Burton, and two of her sisters spoke during the victim input portion of the hearing.
Greene told the board he should be extradited and wants to be returned to North Carolina to serve out his sentence. If that can't happen, he's prepared to face the executioner's table.
"If there were even a chance, which there would be, that he could escape while in transport, or out of the prison that he would go to from here," Burton said. "That's the question that haunts my mind: what would he do, what is he capable of? Would we have to find my mother like she found my dad?"
Greene's attorneys said he clearly demonstrated his mental illness Wednesday and requested clemency.
Burnett's daughters begged the board for the justice, they say, their family deserves.
The State said they're not willing to move Greene to North Carolina. The State Parole Board will make a decision about Greene's fate in the next 72 hours.

Rockin' and Rollin'
It was only a year ago that Jake could barely roll over and was still attending physical therapy for his neck torticollis. Now he is running a million miles an hour and never sits down...EVER...and that is no exaggeration!
This past Tuesday was Donnie's birthday and I told Jake we had to sing "Happy Birthday" to daddy. I began to sing the song and Jake immediately joined in. And he really sang, "Hap Birday to dad." That is exactly what it sounded like and he sang every verse...at least saying "Hap Birday." It was simply precious!
I thought it might have been just a fluke thing, but the next morning as he was eating breakfast the local news station played their birthday list for the day and Jake began to sing the song again, without prompting.
Singing is one of Jake's favorite activities. Later on Tuesday evening he was walking around the house moving his arms singing, "dee and why" for "Deep and Wide." He has serenaded me with "Twinkle, Twinkle" and he LOVES to sing, "Little Light of Mine," especially for hide it under a bushel....NO!
It is amazing how intuitive Jake is and how much he loves music. I know he gets that from his daddy because I'm no music connoisseur. However, Daddy can listen to three notes of a song and tell you who sang it, what year, album and some odd fact like, this was when so and so was the drummer and not so and so...all while I am trying to sing what I THINK the lyrics say and not what they actually say.
Maybe I am raising a future Rock Star! Or maybe a great musician. Whatever Jake may become one thing I know is that he'll always be my baby!

I had to laugh, I walked into the kitchen a few days ago, the boys were washing dishes, and they seem to do a "better" job when the music is blaring, so I walk in and hear some Christian band singing "How could you hate me" Ok, singing is an exaggeration, they scream it. So I start screaming it at the kids with the music, totally getting into it "How could you hate me, how could you hate me" and singing what I think they are saying, and every verse the boys would laugh and tell me what they were really saying!
Donnie could only hear me doing the screaming parts. And when I gave up and went in the living room he was grinning and said how cute it was that I was singing with the kids. He hadn't heard me screw up all the lines, lol. But he felt the world was much more normal when he realized that.

Dolé cafè: friendly and authentic
Looking for an authentic place to eat, a quick and straightforward lunch served by friendly, professional staff? Dolé Cafè is the place for you!
Manuel de Falla 16-18
metro: Maria Cristina (L3)
metro: Sarrià (L6)
Mon-Fri 6am-5pm
open during July and August
Sat 6am-1.30pm
between 5 and 15 euros
for its retro charm
+34 93 204-11-20
A retro hidden gem right in the heart of the Sarrià quarter…
A café with an authentic feel
Dolé cafè has been going strong since 1974. So what's the magic formula? A long, narrow room, with no tables but two zinc bars, a dozen stools, background music, retro decor and, above all, efficient and friendly servers!
Eating at Dolé cafè
Omelettes, omelettes and more omelettes
The coffee is good, and, what's more, there are a whole range of omelettes on offer for around 3 euros. The truites, as they're called in Catalan, can be ordered plain, with potatoes, onions, spinach, courgettes, aubergines or artichokes (my favorite), alongside slices of tomato bread, should you so wish.
Sandwiches with a twist
Dolé Cafè also offers a wide variety of hot and cold sandwiches (entrepans, in Catalan) with a variety of original fillings, almost always made to order, right under your nose.
The star of the show here is the hot "Popeye" sandwich (say "Popey-ay"), with Ibérico ham, melted emmental cheese and spinach. Hungry yet? Me too!
Heads-up for coffee lovers: the coffee here is served with a little square of dark Dolé Cafè chocolate on the side, a delicate finishing touch which you won't often find in Barcelona.
Good vibes, good service
Most of the regulars here are of the male persuasion. You won't find many tourists here, but rather locals, students from the French high school on their lunchbreak, or businessmen or women, who prefer to come and chat amongst themselves or with the staff rather than eating on their own.
Dolé Cafè has a nostalgic, retro feel, which adds to the charm of the place. Time seems to have stood still… Service, on the other hand, is quick and efficient, possibly even excessively so, since you won't want to leave. The high stools aren't the most comfortable seats on the planet, but it's still a great place to be!
The food is good, it's fresh and there's a good vibe, what the Spanish call un buen rollo. The friendly and enthusiastic servers, Jordi, Marc and Josep, certainly have a part to play in that….
The time will come when you have to leave, freeing up space for the next customers, many of whom are ready to stand and wait by the bar during rush periods to make sure they get their daily dose of Dolé Cafè magic.
Well, we certainly get that. The ambiance at Dolé Cafè is unique and timeless. We'd be more than happy to follow their example and go right back.
One thing's for certain: you, like us, will fall for Dolé Cafè's retro charm!
Useful information
- If you want a meal, go before 1pm, you'll have more chance of finding a space…
- Go on your own or with one or two friends. You don't want to be shouting down the bar just to try and make conversation.
- Dolé Cafè is open every day except Sundays and public holidays.

People who purchased her bread, liked it so much that they asked her to make more, and they would buy it from her. I was at her home today, and grabbed this picture for her. Here you see four loaves that are still warm, almost ready to wrap up. In the distance on the stove are four more ready to go in the oven, and to the right side of this photo you see the pans that were just filled, with the exception of this one ball of dough, that I wanted in the picture.

Alternate title: Houston, we have underboob!
When I think of Hilary Duff in a leather skirt, this isn't exactly the look I have in mind:
It's not a bad look, but with her solid goodness and those awesome thighs (yummy) a dress with a gather on one side isn't the most flattering look you can go for. But one benefit of this interesting design . . . rare underboob:
So all in all, it's a net plus for my Duffster. Yay!
Also performing at the festival, Taylor Momsen . . . and what in the boring hell?!?!
No skin. No electrical tape. No raccoon eye make-up. Don't tell me she's going all "legitimate artist" on us now.

As little children, we are told,
"You shall die when you grow old,
"But you will have to wait,
And then you'll go to heaven's gate."
In many times, it has been said,
"Say your night prayers by your bed.
And you may have to wait,
But then you go through heaven's gate."
"Where is heaven?" children wonder.
Our eyes roll up and look up yonder,
"Yes, we may have to wait,
But way up there is heaven's gate."
The children think, the children sigh.
A tiny tear drops from a teeny eye.
They may have to wait,
Yet, they do know
That heaven's gate,
Is not up there and in the sky.
For they see truly and aloud they cry;
"I need not wait,
For In my heart,
Is heaven's gate!"

"Our feelings let us know what we're thinking." - Marci Shimoff
Thoughts seem to be at the root of most experiences. But it has been said that we can think as many 60,000 thoughts per day! How can we control so many thoughts? How can we even be aware of all of them?
Our conscious thoughts are easy to figure out. I just thought to write the previous sentence. Then I did it. Then I remembered doing it. Conscious thoughts are easy. But we also have subconscious thoughts. How do we know if they are pleasant, optimistic, constructive, useful, etc.? We know by our feelings. Thoughts produce feelings (not the other way 'round). So, if we are feeling badly, we must be having habitually negative thoughts.
The cure is to meditate (clearing the mind), to affirm our Good, to read positive material, hang out with pleasant people, listen to uplifting music, etc. Filling our minds with good thoughts will produce good feelings. So, when our feelings are positive we know we have developed the habit of thinking positive thoughts.
Let's continue to work on our thoughts and monitor our feelings. The results are on the way.

Why are some countries in debt? What impact does it have on development?
Extracts from this document...
Debt & Development Why are some countries in debt? What impact does it have on development? What is debt? On an international scale, debt is the owing of money from one country to another or an international organisation as a result of previous borrowing because of need. Why are some countries in debt? Countries can be in debt for different reasons: 1) Trade deficit When a country's imports are worth more than a country's exports, the country loses money and therefore it is forced to borrow money from other countries or international organisations to try and cover the losses. 2) Natural disasters and tied aid After a natural disaster, a country may become dependent on the aid of another country for a short period of time. However sometimes the aid given is tied aid where the country receiving aid may have to pay back the money given (possibly with interest). ...read more.
This can overall help to fight poverty and reduce the development gap. In 2005, Zambia had $4 million of debt cancelled and in 2006 it had enough money to pay for free healthcare for millions of people living in rural areas, improving the quality of life. In Tanzania, money saved from debt cancellations allowed the government to abolish primary school fees in 2001. As a result, the number of students that go to primary school doubled. These examples show that by cancelling debt, it allows money to be invested in education which can lead to more people getting jobs, overall contributing to a country's economy, improving the GDP and by investing in healthcare, the life expectancy and infant mortality rate can also decrease. Summary: -a country can invest in its development -It reduces poverty and can reduce the development gap -examples include Zambia and Tanzania Disadvantages - Although cancelling debt can help a country to develop, there are also some disadvantages. ...read more.
They were first established in the 1980s in the attempt of solving two problems with one agreement: 1) to minimize the debt of developing nations and 2) to minimize the environmental destruction that frequently takes place in developing countries. A company called WWF (world wide fund for nature) which cooperates with countries such as UK and USA has helped to structure and design many debt for nature swaps. In 2008 they helped to structure and facilitate one of the largest debt for nature swaps in Madagascar's history in which 20 million dollars was committed to preserve the country's rich biodiversity. Also in 2008, the USA reduced Peru's debt by $25 million in exchange for conserving its rainforests. Debt for nature swaps are extremely beneficial because they not only cancel the debt of a country allowing them to invest in development, but it helps to protect the environment and conserve some of the world's rainforests. This makes it better than just cancelling debt. ?? ?? ?? ?? ...read more.

Adventures in making and raising our test-tube babies
Tuesday, March 31, 2009
James was holding Amanda up by the armpits, holding her over her sister. About two weeks ago we became aware that they were actually looking at people now. One time Elisa had woken up to Amanda's screaming. She looked over at Amanda, glanced up at the mobile, and then closed her eyes again and went back to sleep. Another time, I saw one of the girls glance at Sarah the cat, who has been smelling their heads for a couple months now. They're making purposeful eye contact with us now, which is really a delight. And about damned time.
Though they could look at each other this time, they weren't. James got Amanda closer to Elisa, almost on top of her. Amanda continued to look upwards, towards the light, and had to crane her neck to be able to see it from the new angle. Elisa was awake and aware, but managed not to notice the baby in front of her. She kept looking towards the blanket.
This may be a lesson in childhood development -- babies do not typically interact with each other until 10 months of age. Or it might be the first of many times the girls just avoid doing what we want them to do. Well, I shouldn't say FIRST.
I have no idea when I first became aware of my twin brother's existence. As far as I was concerned, and quite literally anyway, he was just always there. I believe I expressed that sentiment at his wedding -- that it was easy to take David for granted because he was an inherent part of my experience of the world. It didn't come out sounding all that nice, actually. When people would ask me as a child what it was like to have a twin, I always answered that I didn't have anything to compare it to, but I did note that you had to share your birthday. Now that I'm an older twin and have twins of my own, it seems like the best part of twindom (and maybe the worst?) is constant companionship.
One sweet and annoying development of about a month ago was that the girls started hearing each other cry, and joining in. Maybe because it was scary to be in an environment where someone else was crying, maybe because they were sad their sister was in distress. So we can call them co-cryers now.
They also have to share their feeding time. We try to feed them at different times -- whoever starts to get cranky first eats first. But it doesn't always work, and lots of times I wind up with two hands holding two bottles in two mouths, and with my two eyes bonding with no one. Lots of other times one baby is getting held and the other is crying. I have to put the quiet one down (yes, punish her) to pick up the loud one, and then have her quiet down and have the other start up again. They must hate to hear their sister cry in that case, because it heralds the exchanging of the babies in the lap.
A book on raising emotionally healthy twins told me yesterday that I should spend individual time with each child, while someone else took care of the other. If I could relate to each baby one-on-one, I would have a better relationship with each. At this point, that seems like a luxury. Where's the "someone else" from 9:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. anyway?
As someone who survived twinship with a hearty ego in tact, I'm not too concerned about their potential to blossom as different people. But if we can give them life, individuality, and a Best Friend Forever, wouldn't that be nice?

I like the co-crying. I mean, I don't like-like it, but it's a cute term. I do the same thing--I cannot see someone else cry and not cry too (for the most part). Even when my patients are telling me something sad that makes them tear up, damnit if I don't start in too. I used to chalk it up to artificial hormones always coursing through my veins, but now, I'm just weepy.
I'm glad your twins have each other! Lucky ladies indeed, though they won't always feel that way :)
