Astounding Science Fiction, October 1958
A fairly good issue – including one Hugo award winner.
The Big Front Yard • novella by Clifford D. Simak
A man who fixes appliances and trades with antiques first finds that a few things which were waiting to be repaired have been repaired and vastly improved, for example an old b&w TV is turned to a color set. And his house is being enforced by unscratchable plastic-like material. And then a portal to an other world appears…Another story with thematic similarities with the Waystation. A well-written story, but perhaps slightly too disjointed at places. ****-
The Yellow Pill • shortstory by Rog Phillips
A man has killed several people in a supermarket. He is brought to see a psychiatrist. The murderer behaves very calmly and explains to the shrink that he is the sane one and he has just saved their space ship from Venusian lizards, who tried to board the ship. And the psychiatrist is his friend and crewmate, who has some severe mental troubles and tends to imagine strange things - like living on earth and being doctor. A pretty amusing short story. ***½
Big Sword • novelette by Pauline Ashwell [as by Paul Ash ]
Human explorers live on an unknown planet. They are slowly exploring the planet but aren't aware of a sentient species with an unusual life cycle and means of communication. And the aliens can't contact humans with their telepathic powers as human minds are always so busy. But the commander's son is a curious young man, and he might be able to bridge that gap. A pretty good story, but slow and overlong at places. I wonder if Orson Scott Card has read this story before he wrote Xenocide, there are some slight similarities. ***
... And Check the Oil • novelette by Randall Garrett
A chemist is drafted by a friend to a secret government project: They are studying an alien spacecraft and are trying to make friendly contact with its' crew. There seems to be a fair amount of distrust between humans and aliens, but a female scientist finds an innovative way of proving good intentions. It involves something which sounds pretty risqué for this time period's Astounding: stripping naked to prove you are not carrying any weapons. A fairly nice story, perhaps slightly overlong, but writing ok and the plot isn't bad. ***½
False Image • shortstory by Jay Williams
Explorers meet strange giant aliens whose behavior is strange. The aliens turn out to be humans (in the past) and the explorers are aliens. About as bad and stupid it sounds. **+

People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing.
—Dale Carnegie
There are many things that weigh us down in life: the death of a pet, the loss of a loved one, cancer or any other illness for that matter…. You get the idea. These trials and tribulations are not to be taken lightly. But there is also the "weight" of the things we keep. I am talking about our sentimental items, our mementos, our collections and the like. Oh sure, they physically "weigh" something, but more, if we keep too much, we are the ones who become weighted down.
My dear father-in-law's first birthday in heaven was this week, God rest his blessed soul. In the haste of his passing, and in my exhaustion and because I had nowhere else to put his beloved earthly things…
I rented a storage unit.
When I first opened LTD 7, I spent a great deal of time on the road scouring for items that I knew could be sold or would look great as decor for the store. One by one, I loaded up rental vans, cars filled to capacity and each time I ran out of time to pursue a "vein" of an idea or a plan for the store, I put items away in…you guessed it…storage units. Plural.
When we downsized our home, I got rid of "a ton" of things, but still there remained "things." I had no place for them in our smaller abode, but they were too good to give away…so…I rented a(nother) storage unit.
After awhile the weight of all these storage units got to me. I knew that there was going to be a colossal amount of energy, both physically and mentally, spent on tackling these storage units. In essence I was having my own personal "Storage War" with myself! I put off the task, not once or twice, but many times. I soon couldn't remember exactly what was in those units, and sometimes in so forgetting, I bought more, not realizing I had exactly what I needed in storage.
The time came for me to meet the task. Head On.
I put on my worst pair of jeans and a baseball cap and started. I didn't limit myself to one day to tackle the job. Oh, no! I worked until I was done. I worked like a mad woman not because I had some deadline, but because with every item I looked at and made a decision about whether to keep, donate or trash, I felt the weight lifting off of ME! It was wonderful to feel!
I hope you were able to attend One of our 3 virtual garage sales this past week. I wanted to have an outdoor sale, but the weather (again) remained uncooperative and we canceled. We still have more items, from our units, and are planning on two more Online Facebook Sales this week. Monday and Thursday at 8:30 pm Facebook Sale
It's getting easier and easier for us to get and keep things in today's world. There are companies that will deliver bins to you and photograph your items for a virtual storage unit. There are other companies that will deliver the actual STORAGE UNIT to your house and then come back for it at a later date. Many storage companies entice us with "One Month's Free Rent." Yes, it is easy to get and keep a storage unit. The hard part is ever getting out of one!
Storage is expensive and inconvenient and but the decluttering process is FREE!
When we make decisions about our possessions, we have less to clean, less to organize, less stress and more energy for LIVING THE DREAM!
Clutter is stuff we don't love. We all know in our hearts of hearts what things there are that weigh us down. The good news is-there are as many ways to declutter as there are items that need decluttering. The choice is up to you and the Internet can help you find many clever and creative ways to go about the taks, especially if you do not have much time. No matter what you method you choose to help you get started–the goal is to take your first step with excitement behind it.
There is a beautiful world of freedom and fresh breath and time to pursue our dreams hiding behind all that clutter.
How we remove it is up to us. It helped me to remember: I am not my stuff; we are more than our possessions. My memories are within me, not within my things. Holding on to stuff imprisons us; letting go is freeing and allows the dream inside each of us time to unfold.
I can take pictures of items I want to remember. Old photographs can be scanned. An item that is sentimental for me can be useful for someone else.
What is weighing you down that you can do without? Is there a Storage War going on within you? Can you imagine how freeing it would feel to remove that weight? Is there a dream just waiting for wings to fly?
Of course, it must be said:
Be sure to stop in this week to one or both of our LTD 7 locations and Grandma's Bait for some of those "great new things."
Let's all fly this week! Make it a good one, everyone. I will see you soon!
Living the Dream,

By Dr. Chris Meletis N. D.
When you were born your water content was about 78%. As a healthy adult you should be comprised of about 70% water content within your lean muscle mass (excluding body fat, bones and vital organs which do not contain much water). In measuring lean body mass hydration, researchers have noted an optimal lean mass level equivalent of 70% to 74%.
Other than oxygen, there is no single more important substance critical to life itself. We have all made the observation that with aging dehydration occurs as evidenced by the wrinkled look associated with aging. I call this "the grape to raisin" and "plum to prune" phenomena.
The signs of overt dehydration are clear, yet it is the subclinical symptoms that warrant daily attention such as fatigue and lack of vitality, headache, an inability to concentrate, joint pain due to insufficient cushioning at the joint space, muscle pain and discomfort, skin conditions, constipation, etc.
One can live weeks without food, yet only days without water. But water alone is not enough, it is the minerals carried by the moisture in the body that is essential to life itself. These minerals are referred to routinely as electrolytes. They actually allow for the conduction of electricity within the body, including the creating of electrical impulses throughout our nervous system.
Symptoms of insufficient hydration and electrolytes include: thirst, restless or irritable behavior, decreased skin resilience, dry mucous membranes, sunken eyes and absence of tears when crying vigorously.
Symptoms of early or mild dehydration include (one or more of the following):
- fatigue and lack of energy and vitality
- diminished mental clarity and concentration
- overall muscle weakness
- headaches (includes muscle tension and sinus pain)
- flushed face
- dry, warm skin
- dizziness
- cramping in the arms and legs
- increased illness susceptibility due to dry mucus membranes
Even with mild dehydration the blood becomes more thick, this increased blood viscosity (thickness) can trigger cerebral (stroke) or myocardial infarction (heart attacks).i Making sure you are drinking enough water is important, yet replacing lost minerals that occur with simply breath, sweating even if not noticeable, and loss of electrolytes and water in the urine and stool is critical.
Recent data from a study conducted by Stanford University School of Medicine suggest that as many as 50% of older adults are dehydrated.ii
ProACTIVE Step to Feeling Better
The medical professions are finally learning about the true importance of proper fluid and electrolyte levels as it is associated with wellness and mortality.iii
The human body is made up of 75 trillion cells and they demand sufficient nutrients, oxygen and waste removal to function optimally. Yet, without proper levels of hydration and electrolytes, tissues like your muscles that are highest source of hydration reserve within your body cannot function.
Mental Performance
If a person does not have the proper blend of minerals and water, the brain will not perform properly. Researchers have documented that dehydration is a reliable predictor of impaired cognitive status.iv
Back in Motion
Even the skeletal system made up of bones is affected by proper hydration. Research has shown that during the aging process the thinning of the bone, and loss of bone mineral density increases and thus demands sufficient minerals and hydration of the intervertebral disc.v To protect the back and maintain proper functioning of the spine there must be sufficient hydration disc to provide adequate shock absorbing capacity.
Proper Hydration—WATER+MINERALS
Hydrating and re-hydrated the human body requires a lot more that just 64 ounces (8 glasses) of water consumption to replenish and retain optimal cellular fluid levels. It is essential to provide a balance of minerals to maintain the balance of not just surviving day to day, but to truly thrive.
Magnesium is the second most plentiful positively charged mineral within the body, following calcium, and is involved with more than 300 enzyme systems. The availability of magnesium for proper muscle and overall energy within all the cells of the body is critical. The body has created a reserve system of magnesium to help maintain stable levels with a full third of skeletal magnesium being on the surface of the bone and acts as a reservoir to maintain the extra-cellular magnesium concentration. vi vii.
The potassium mineral plays a role in many body functions including acid-base balance, nerve and muscle health, including the heart and various enzymatic reactions.viii It is essential in the functioning processes including nerve impulse transmission; cardiac, smooth, and skeletal muscle contraction; gastric secretion; renal function; tissue synthesis; and carbohydrate synthesis. Inadequate dietary intake of potassium can contribute to high blood pressure, stroke, and heartdisease. Potassium works together with other nutrients to produce beneficial physiological effects.ix
Individuals with low sodium levels, that hasn't re-hydrated after warm weather, a work out or is just plain low in sodium that are the patients complaining most of feeling weak, tired and overall washout. The single most important thing to remember about sodium is to keep it balanced with the other electrolyte minerals such as potassium. Our bodies are seeking balance and by maintaining balance the body stays in harmony. The standard western diet typically contains sufficient sodium with the exception of serious athletes.
In order for the muscles of our body to contract such as our heart and skeletal muscles sufficient calcium needs to be readily available to literally keep our body in motion. Yet, one must have sufficient magnesium for muscles to relax. It is all about balance for peak performance.
For those seeking to help ensure stronger bones, healthier muscle performance and supporting overall health calcium is a key cornerstone in building a strong wellness foundation.
The average modern diet is devoid of sufficient minerals to allow us to fully enjoy wellness. Over the last 200 years, top soil erosion in the United States has gone from 21 inches to a mere 6 inches. This means that trace minerals have been washed and blown away from farmlands. Without the minerals in the soil, the plants can't deliver them to our body to sustain the dynamic human frame. So, it is imperative to actively, infact Pro-Actively take charge, and charge your nervous system and entire body with the electrolytes that are the spark of life.

Ocean Springs was not only an ideal getaway, but I quickly decided it was also a place I now wanted to live. Less than twenty-four hours after my first delighted pass down its main street lined with live oaks and old-fashioned storefronts, I was already eyeing small fishing cottages in the historic district and dreaming of a new life in a small Mississippi town. A life where I could walk to top-quality museums and down to the beach at Biloxi Bay, where there was a farmers market every Saturday and a top-shelf cooking school at the town's cultural center. Where no commercial development marred the shoreline, but instead, family homes flanked a new public park, with jungle gyms for clambering kids and a boardwalk for strolling seniors. Where I could get succulent pulled pork with a local brew, delicate blue crab salad with an artisan cocktail, a supremely fresh dragon roll, and a sloppy killer burger. Where the local doughnut place didn't run on Dunkin', but was a beloved institution calling itself Tato-Nut, proudly making its doughnuts from potatoes for fifty-four years.

All journalism is advocacy journalism. No matter how it's presented, every report by every reporter advances someone's point of view. The advocacy can be hidden, as it is in the monotone narration of a news anchor for a big network like CBS or NBC (where the biases of advertisers and corporate backers like GE are disguised in a thousand subtle ways), or it can be out in the open, as it proudly is with Greenwald, or graspingly with Sorkin, or institutionally with a company like Fox.
But to pretend there's such a thing as journalism without advocacy is just silly; nobody in this business really takes that concept seriously. "Objectivity" is a fairy tale invented purely for the consumption of the credulous public, sort of like the Santa Claus myth. Obviously, journalists can strive to be balanced and objective, but that's all it is, striving.
~ from Hey, MSM: All Journalism is Advocacy Journalism by Matt Taibbi ~
It's not just journalism either. Every blog and website advocates a point of view. In fact, I will go a step further. Every writer -- whatever age or level of ability -- is advocating something. We are all subjective creatures and our subjectivity is almost impossible to mask.
What a writer chooses to include or exclude underlines their point of view. This is as true for journalists as it is for speechwriters, songwriters and poets!
It drives me crazy when people admonish others for not being "objective," like there is an untethered truth out there waiting to be grasped. Even if such a thing existed -- I personally don't think it does -- not a one of us could see it because we would approach it with our own set of prejudices and preferences. As soon as we tried to grasp hold of an objective truth with a subjective mind, that truth would evaporate before our eyes!
That's why Laozi wrote, "The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao." He understood that whatever we may say about the Grand Mystery is filtered through our own subjectiveness. Of course, that was his subjective opinion! ;-)

Environmental Jobs | Volunteer
Position: Wildlife Animal Care Volunteer
Type: Volunteer opportunity with free accommodation, minimum 4 weeks / 8 weeks preferred (see below)
Organization: Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary
Location: Rosseau, Muskoka, Ontario
Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary is a non profit, registered charity located in Rosseau, Ontario. For the last 41 years, we have dedicated ourselves to the rescue, rehabilitation and release of the province's ill, orphaned and injured native wildlife. We receive no government funding and rely solely on the generosity of the public for financial support. We rely on a large and diverse team of volunteers, whom are passionately committed to the care of the wildlife we save, for our existence.
We are afforded the unique opportunity of rehabilitating various animal species from moose, bear, deer and wolves to raccoons, squirrels and chipmunks. We are one of the few facilities in the country equipped to accommodate semi-aquatic species such as beavers and otters. Our facilities are purpose built, in a natural setting to accommodate the biological and behavioural needs of the animals in our care. Once treated and rehabilitated, the animals are released back into the wild. Over the years, various animals have become permanent residents at the Sanctuary. These are the unreleasable animals due to prior human intervention. These animals are the voice for sharing our world in a healthier, more responsible way.
We offer free, shared accommodation to our volunteers. The role of the Animal Care volunteer is:
We offer internship / co-op opportunities. We request a minimum 4 week service. To maximize your learnings, we recommend a stay of at least 2 months.
We rehabilitate rabies vector species; therefore rabies vaccines are mandatory if volunteering in the months of April through October. The vaccines are highly recommended if volunteering in the months of November through to March. Tetanus vaccines are highly recommended.
You can visit our web site to get more information regarding Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary.

Christine and friends from the East Bay spent the day on Stinson Beach in Marin County last week. Christine took off her grandmother's platinum wedding ring and put it on her leg to apply sunscreen. A while later, she stood up to take a walk. By the time she remembered the ring, it had disappeared into the sand.
Christine's friend Kim found TheRingFinders directory a few days later by searching for "metal detector service." We arranged to meet at the beach today. Christine had to be out of town, so Kim came instead, along with her mother and daughter.
Three factors conspired against us recovering the ring: First, the ring itself was tiny and made of platinum. This means it would be easy for a metal detector to miss. Second, the sand had some mineralization, specifically iron particles or "black sand" that can be hard for the metal detector to penetrate. And third, it was an unseasonably chilly day for the middle of June.
Kim and her mom separately showed me where they thought they had been sitting last week so that I could set up a search zone. Fortunately, they both had good memories, because their search zones overlapped. After about two hours of hunting with two different detectors, I found the ring within the overlapping area. Good job, ladies! (And thanks for the hot coffee and chowder!)
Kim is keeping the ring safe until Christine returns.
2 Replies to "Another Lost Ring on Stinson Beach-Found"
Dave was so thorough! I cannot believe he found this tiny ring. It was freezing cold and windy out at Stinson Beach. I had lost hope, but Dave kept looking until he found the ring. If you lose a ring, call Dave Millman!
I still am in awe that Dave found my ring along with Kim's help! When we left the beach that day, I didn't think I would see it again. Happily, I was wrong and Dave found it! Thanks so much Dave!

Texting is not just a "teen" problem. There are millions of employees in company cars and fleet vehicles who try to "multi-task" behind the wheel.
While many states seek to lower distracted driving by increasing penalties, fees and regulations, there is another option. There are anti-texting apps, like AT&T DriveMode which is FREE!
One area that is rarely discussed is that each state has thousands of government vehicles that inspectors, regulators and the agricultural department use as fleet vehicles, but they do not have the technology to diminish distracted driving. I would love to see one state lead by example and use a program, like FleetMode, to block texts, redirect incoming phone calls, and impede all other apps in the State vehicles. If we want our state roads to be safer, let's start by making our state vehicles safer.

In Ghana, we are blessed with the best in plant medicine.
Herbal medicine was the order of the day few years ago.
A lot of herbal centres came through with efficacious herbal medicine, curing complicated diseases.
A large section of TV and Radio jingles were associated with herbal adverts. Plant medicine was thriving, saved from dying.
Not too long after this, most of the herbal practitioners changed their "pure medicinal content" to the production of "alcoholic bitters".
Most of them felt the herbal industry was dying. They realised, they couldn't survive in the natural medicine industry, than to veer into alcoholic beverages production, which was anticipated to be comfortably marketed and profoundly patronised.
Now the FDA has strong rules against the advertisement of herbal medicine on TV and radio. A lot of checks go on to prevent exposure to harmful drugs to the populace. This is highly commendable and laudable. The only problem here is, most of the certified herbalists still go through series of checks to be able to keep their herbal products for the mass media.
This puts them in a tight corner making their works extremely difficult. The herbal medicine industry in Ghana is virtually dying.
However, advertisement of alcoholic drinks are glistening and streaming loud on TV and radio respectively. We are now made to believe "alcoholic bitters" are the saviour of our natural health needs. Large numbers of the youth are culprits to this misleading.
For most people, their substitutes for natural medicine are now "alcoholic bitters, because it is the order of the day, by the profuse endorsement on TV and radio.
As a result, preventable deaths and accidents are on the rise in the country.
We are not too far gone, we can control this canker.
-Alcoholic beverage is not the Solution- Let's go back to natural medicine.

Best Countries to Be Born in 2013
Are Babies Born in the US at a Disadvantage?
American babies have access to great hospitals, educational and career opportunities, and a societal structure that allows them whatever kind of future they want to have . . . right? Not necessarily so.
A new study that asks what is the best country to be born in in 2013, conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit, reported results that just may surprise you — it surprised us. In a ranking of 80 countries across the globe, the US only ranked as No. 16. The indicators used to come to this conclusion include everything from geography and demography to policies and the state of the economy. American babies born in the coming year will inherit massive debt from the baby boomer generation, which accounts partially for our nation's mediocre ranking.
The top three places to be born? Switzerland, Australia, and Norway, where citizens report having the best quality of life. Nigeria came in last at No. 80. Click here to check out the rankings in their entirety, and tell us, do you agree that the US belongs in 16th place?


text: Owned by Caroline Rostang, the daughter of French culinary giant Michel Rostang, L'Absinthe is best described as a New York-inspired French bistro. The restaurant nods to New York City with its urban chic design, highlighted by the oversized, antique clock on the ground floor. Two dining rooms—one upstairs and one downstairs—offer ample seating, and outdoor tables are available during the warmer months. Both the tasting menus and à la carte menu feature traditional bistro-style fare, with such dishes as crispy pork knuckle with vegetables and calf's liver with baby onions, capers, and tomatoes.

Waking up in Europe today, it is hard not feel a sense disbelief. Britain' decision to leave the EU is very troublesome and creates more uncertainty in world that is already unstable. This vote undermines the entire European project that has sought greater integration since the Second Word War – a project established to prevent the continent from spiraling into devastating genocidal wars.
While Britain's may have rejected it, the EU has stood for Liberal values (values based on liberty and equality born of the Enlightenment) that the "Exit" voters claim to be losing. It is why nations like Estonia, Czechoslovakia (today the Czech Republic and Slovakia), and Romania embraced Europe and the EU following the collapse of Soviet Union – it represents freedom of the press, open markets, and free elections. With this simple vote, Britain threatens the entire European project and the vote could result in domino effect with other countries, such as Poland and Hungary, leaving the EU. This hypothetical, though not unrealistic scenario, would leave the EU and Britain weaker in an increasingly unstable world.
The demand to exit the EU in Britain and other countries, like Poland under the Law and Justice party, is led by a growing Right wing populism. The rise in Right wing populism is not limited to the EU and a frightening global trend. This Right wing populism in Europe believes the EU is the source of all its problems, mostly pointing to increased immigration, especially from the Middle East often blaming Angela Merkel for throwing open the doors last summer.
Yet vilifying immigrants as an "other" to stir up nationalism is not new in Europe – it is part of the reason why the EU exists. Perhaps one can blame President Obama for failing to get intervene in Syria, leading to the refugee crisis, but this is not the only cause. Nothing is ever that simple. Europe, at least for now, is a rich place and a destination for economic immigrants. The immigrant crisis caused the by the Syrian civil war only exacerbated an already existing problem. There is no question that integrating immigrants, especially of different cultural backgrounds, is difficult and expensive, but not impossible.
The large number of immigrants have fed the fear and hatred that these Right wing parties are thriving on. This is surely not good for Europe. The growing nationalistic movements, something Europe has tried to move beyond, can easily lead to war and ethnic cleansing, terrors the EU was established to prevent. And war is not unlikely especially with a country like Russia threatening Eastern Europe, desiring the return of its status that it lost with the collapse of the Soviet Union.
The threat of a weakened shattered EU and growing Right wing populism shows an ever increasingly unstable world: political upheavals in Brazil and Mexico, growing violence in the Middle East, a volatile Pacific Ocean with China increasingly seeking to extend its influence and projection of military power. At a time of growing instability, the British vote simply multiplies this uncertainty and leaves space for countries that eschew Liberal values, like China and Russia, to fill the void.
Without a strong unified Europe to help balance and check these strident powers, the threat of global conflict increases. This is not stay that war will happen, but it makes it more likely. In undermining one of the fundamental features of the European project, to prevent war and grow into a union of European peoples, Britain has in fact done the opposite. Created greater instability, uncertainty, and growing possibility of war and the end of the EU.

I hate lumping people into categories...or making blanket statements about people within a certain culture. So, I'm going to try to say this very carefully...as to not offend anyone... That being said...A few weeks ago, my mom and I were walking through my neighborhood. I saw a women walking up her driveway with a newspaper under her arm. She had frizzy black hair, which she tied up in a bun...and a pair of gold earings and a thick gold necklace which I could spot from several feet away. Instantly, I turned to my mom and told her that Malus lived in my neighborhood! She asked me why I was so certain that the woman was a Malayalee...and I explained that the hair and jewlery were two major give aways. As we got closer to her house....I noticed that their garage was filled with Japanese cars....a Honda and a Toyota...."See! I told my mom...there's another sign!" She looked at me as if I was crazy. But then, I saw something that solidified my suspicions....an unruly rosebush in the front yard. Upon seeing that, even my mom agreed that they definitely had to be Malayalees.
I hadn't seen the Malayalees again for a few weeks. A part of me wanted to see and befriend them....hoping the lady might invite us over for some home cooking! Then, last week as I was driving home, I saw the man of the house checking the mail. He had on blue slacks, a black belt, and a wife beater. If I had any doubts they weren't Malayalee, all doubts were now washed away!
Today, I was walking Moussey in the morning. As I was walking up the sidewalk, the Malayalee man and lady were walking down the sidewalk. I thought "this is my chance to befriend them!" They'll ask me where I'm from in Malayalam...and I'll respond with my usual village idiot response!!...They'll chuckle at my feeble attempt...and we'll all become friends! (As you can see I'm desperate to make some friends around here!) So, as they approached...I began smiling...And when they were close enough to hear me...I said "Hello!"
They didn't smile or respond to my pleasentries...they just maintained a stoic expression and walked right on past me. I was bummed...and kept walking. Maybe they didn't know I was Indian. Afterall, they hadn't seen my driveway with 2 Hondas parked in it...and my hair had been de-frizzed before my walk...and I never walk with my bling on...it just ain't safe these days!!
On my way home from our walk...we passed the couple's home again. This time, they were both standing on their driveway....almost as if they were waiting for us to walk by. The man stood there with both hands on his hips and the woman stood beside him curiously. As I walked by...they just stared, not a word was uttered...Just a silent stare.
"Undeniably Malu," I muttered to Moussey...as we turned down my street and walked home.

Build immersive, full-featured interactive worlds for games, online communities, and more
Build virtual worlds in Flash and enhance them with avatars, non player characters, quests, and by adding social network community
Design, present, and integrate the quests to the virtual worlds
Create a whiteboard that every connected user can draw on
A practical guide filled with real-world examples of building virtual worlds
In Detail
Flash virtual worlds are some of the most exciting—and profitable—online business being built today. Using Flash, developers can build interactive environments where users can interact with the virtual world and one another, compete, and have fun. Creating a playful environment on an electronic network presents unique challenges as you combine a fun, upbeat frontend with some serious and complex server logic.
This handy book assists you in building amazing virtual worlds in no time by implementing ActionScripts in a Flash IDE. With this book in hand, you will build virtual worlds that have avatars walking around and interacting with non playing characters, completing challenging quests, and allowing users to link with real-world friends.
The fun begins with first exploring existing virtual world games such as Club Penguin, Mole, Dofus, and World of Warcraft. We will then design our virtual environment. Then we will create avatars and move the avatars in the virtual world. We will add some triggers to add amusement and life to the virtual world. We will allow the avatars to interact with other players and create a buddy list for each user. Then we will integrate buildings and other environment to the virtual world. We will also let the players interact with non-player characters to complete some tasks. Finally, we move on to add interesting quests to the virtual world, which need to be accomplished by the player to gear up to the next level of the game.
This example-rich, hands-on guide sequentially develops a multiplayer virtual world—the platform, the environment, quests, avatars, non-playing characters, and interaction between them.

The Cross-hole Sonic Logging (CSL) method is used to perform high-resolution quality control of deep foundations including piles and diaphragm walls.
Dynamic Load Testing (DLT) is a quick method to evaluate the bearing capacity of a pile for loads similar to the design load. It can be used for prefabricated piles, cast-in-place concrete piles steel piles and wooden piles. DLT is considerably faster than static tests and at a fraction of the cost.Pile Driving Analysis is a powerful tool to control the pile driving process. During driving, the performance of the hammer, the condition of the cushion, the behaviour of the pile, and the driving resistance of the soil can be analyzed and monitored.
Pile quality is often determined by performing a low strain integrity test directly after pile driving or within days after installation of cast-in-situ piles. Sonic Integrity Testing is a widely used method for testing the quality of concrete piles in a non-destructive way before they are incorporated in the final foundation plan.
Statnamic is an innovative method for testing the load bearing capacity of foundation piles. Compared to static load testing: 90-95% less weight has to be loaded. Dependent upon the weight to be tested, Statnamic enables you to test up to 6 piles per day at much lower costs.Statnamic pile testing is based upon launching a reaction mass. For catching the fall back of this reaction mass, Statnamic uses unique techniques based upon gravel and hydraulic systems. Profound has developed Statnamic together with Berming hammer Foundation Solutions.
TNOWAVE represents a group of wave equation application programs and is a powerful simulation tool to predict pile behavior.

A prospective juror in the federal death penalty trial of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev choked back tears Friday as she spoke of the 8-year-old boy who was killed in the attack.
The female juror calmly answered questions from Judge George O'Toole Jr. until he asked her why she was surprised to receive a juror summons in the case.
She then became choked up and told the judge she lived in Dorchester, the same Boston neighborhood where 8-year-old Martin Richard lived. She said she didn't know the Richard family personally, but had once met the little boy during a neighborhood cleanup.
"I was just walking by a memorial for him," she said, her voice quivering with emotion.
The woman, who runs a nonprofit that recruits people to tutor and mentor school children, said her organization had runners in the marathon. After the bombings, she had to look for those runners and their families, she said.
"It was a long couple of days," she said.
Tsarnaev, 21, is charged in the deadly 2013 attack. Three people were killed and more than 260 were injured when two homemade bombs exploded near the finish line.
At times during Friday's hearing, Tsarnaev appeared to be avoiding eye contact with the jurors. He looked down and drew on a yellow legal pad at times.
During individual questioning Thursday and Friday, the challenges in choosing a jury in the high-profile case have been evident. Many of the prospective jurors have said they have already formed an opinion that Tsarnaev is guilty. Others have said they could not impose the death penalty under any circumstances. In order to be chosen for the case, jurors must express a willingness to consider both the death penalty or life in prison.
The prospective jurors have also had a myriad of other reasons that may get them excused from serving on the jury.
One woman whose husband is a Massachusetts state trooper said she could not be impartial because Tsarnaev is charged in the killing of an MIT police officer days after the bombings.
A man questioned by one of Tsarnaev's attorneys acknowledged that he still has feelings of anger about the bombings and called the attack "needless." At one point, he gestured toward Tsarnaev, but said he didn't know if his anger is directed at a particular person or the "events."
Twenty people were questioned Thursday; another 14 were questioned Friday. Questioning is expected to resume Tuesday. A panel of 12 jurors and six alternates will be chosen.
Among the potential jurors on Friday were an executive assistant, a former corrections employee, banker, a scientist, a data management consultant for a pharmaceutical company, a software engineer a computer repairman and a retired CAT scan technician.
U.S. & World
An older male juror who's a pharmaceutical biologist said he would have a hard time, as he put it,"contributing to someone's death." His voice cracked as he said, "I don't know if I could live with that."
Another said she met victim Martin Richard and helped search for runners at the finish line.
"I don't know the Richard family personally but I did a clean up that day in the neighborhood and met Martin," said the female juror.
The attorneys and judge mutually decided to stop questioning her after an emotional display.
One said he ran the marathon four times, and another said she was nearby the marathon and had been at the finish line and was headed back when the bombs went off. Another said her neighbor was the head of the Boston FBI when the bombing happened, but she never talked to him about it.
The judge has said he expects testimony in the trial to begin Jan. 26.

While contested opinion(s) on socialist experiences of the 20th century is all-pervasive, the academic literature on this has been relatively thinly spread. The quantum of views and opinion stand on a knowledge base that is narrow and the 'known' far exceed the 'unknown' in a literature highly charged by ideological standpoints defined largely by 'ways of seeing'. The political economy focus has often been on questions around the organisation of production and productive forces. But, the reorganisation of social reproduction way beyond the tenets of welfarism had been socialism's greatest promise of emancipation from patriarchy - the tyranny of family, private property and the state; and the conscious political attempt of collectivism rather than individualism forming the basis of new 'individualities'.
Based on a Marxist-Feminist framework linking theory, perspective and method, this note is an endeavour to critically survey the methods by which the reorganisation of social production and reproduction in societies attempting a socialist transformation had been approached to extend and add to the contested terrain of the historicisation of socialist experiences of the twentieth century.
This is a relatively less explored area in the impressionistic literature around the socialist experiences that have gained credence especially since the 1990s. The scholarship on actual socialist transition(s) is thin. Access to works is also limited given both the political and cultural hegemony and limits of scholarship in a world structured by Anglophone imperial domination.
This forms the premise of the question on method. The denial of a materialist analysis and of social class as central objects of study in mainstream social science in US academia had been evident since the 1950s and 1960s in the shaping of disciplinary imperatives at the height of Cold War politics After the intellectual upheaval of 'dependency theory' and the 'structuralist school', mainstream social science in the USA consistently rejected the idea that social classes should be objects of study. There was substantial material and intellectual investment during the Reagan period in a particular strand of culture and area studies that took the lead in formulating ideas of 'hybridity' and 'fragmented forms' and 'fluid identities' rather than 'structured social formations' like race and class as the counter to different branches of cultural relativism, essentialism and idealism that emanated as 'new' theory from the mainstream of US academia[i]. These intellectual models ran a serious 'risk that one's subject would be deconstructed into fragments united only by the common experience of an incommunicable identity crisis'. This risk stems from the emphasis on 'cultural collisions, confrontations and dialogues of the deaf 'and statements 'devoid of meaning' rising from the separation of the 'cultural' from the 'material' in the recasting of 'social history' and 'studies of society' in a form where the ambiguity of the 'narrator' and the 'non-specificity' of 'subject position' were premised over earlier analytical narratives based on the material construction of social relations that defined the structures of society[ii].
Moreover, the attempts at 'theorising' of the socialist experiences have largely been based on abstractions informed by fragmented readings of the developments in China and the erstwhile USSR which led Dunayevskaya to lament in 1944 in the American Economic Review that 'theory' had been replaced by 'applied' economics in the USSR[iii]. Thus apart from the lack of 'newness' in scholarship, the sociological genealogy of the attempts at 'Marxist' economic theorising in the judgment(s) of socialist attempts at social transformation is a task at hand in terms of the implications of the level of abstraction on which the critique rests and to what extent it helps us to understand the processes of social transformation towards the creation of an emancipatory society breaking free of alienation. In doing so, the attempt is not only to break away from the class basis of production relations, but also transform the domain of state-society relationships from the aegis of the nation-state.
Multiple strands of later Marxist interpretations have tried to locate the conflicts and contests of changing class relations in the attempts at social transformation. However, the abstract conceptualisation of conflict, contest and the dialectics of transformation have been limited to the sphere of production in a somewhat direct conflict with Marx's and earlier Marxist understanding of the institutional unit(s) of organisation of society. In doing so, the individual and the collective get conceived in terms of a conceptualization of class relations that abstracts away from the role of the patriarchal family as the unit of organisation of society in a semi-feudal semi-capitalist context within a nation-state and the spatio-temporal location of that nation-state within the hierarchy of nation-states defined by imperialism. However, the transformative aspects of actually existing socialism(s) lay in not only the change in the institutional zone of production and appropriation of surplus, but the re-conceptualisation of the radical transformation needed in the sphere of social reproduction informed by a Marxist understanding of gender, patriarchy and 'human nature' in a context where the transformative potential of socialist revolution became historically limited to small pockets of the world[iv].
The disciplinary divides of power-knowledge diffused only in its manifestation but entrenched in structural root of the patriarchal reproduction(s) of social classes and their institutional units of organisation[v] has largely bypassed the so-called Marxian economics of actual socialist transition. However, in Marx's vision of the 'rich individuality', this was a defining aspect in the imagining of socialiam. In the socialist transitions of the 20th century in the USSR, China, Cuba and Tanzania, this had been central to the process of transformation[vi]. In each of these societies, right after the revolution, the securing of a new and secure material base had been severe - largely attributable to the isolations and penalties associated with the breaking away from the imperial axes of material power. In the 'conceptualisation of revolution within a revolution', collectivisation of production played an important role in raising new standards in food, health-care, housing, education and clothing and providing women visibility and better remuneration as workers. This was accompanied by more and more political participation in public affairs at the level of the Soviets within the pyramidal structure of political power[vii]. At the same time, there was a thinning out of women's political power at the topmost levels of the pyramid which was a significant reversal of the conditions that prevailed both in the making of the revolution and in the first few years after the revolution in the USSR[viii].
On the other hand, (except for the attempts in the USSR in its early phase (with the decriminalisation of homosexuality (1918 – 1933) and the conscious cultural attempt to create conditions for breaking the basis of the sexual division of labour), breaking away from the unit of organisation of society in terms of the reproduction of the patriarchal monogamous family became more and more difficult[ix] to the point where the Marriage Council of Philadelphia in the USA in 1948 celebrated aspects of women's activities, standards of health-care and education in what they perceived as 'fulfiling the vital function of strengthening of families in the Soviet Union' as opposed to the situation in the USA at that time[x].
In the same year, the greatest problem facing Chinese families was identified as extreme poverty, very high child and adult mortality rates and health deprivation even among the more affluent sections of society. In October and November 1948, on the eve of the Chinese Revolution, 1492 children were picked up from the streets and cremated in the Municipal Crematorium[xi]. China's social transformation after the revolution was contingent on people's communes and brigades as the 'new' institutional bases of enterprise in the spheres of both social production and reproduction[xii].
In Cuba, after the revolution, the emphasis was on employment, distribution and re-distribution with women and children as the locus of the system. A shift from material to moral incentives in the organisation of production was at the centre of socialist envisioning in Cuba. But by the 1970s, the material conditions of increasing problems of production given the blockade (despite Soviet assistance) led to the tying of distribution to wage and enterprises were expected to generate the surplus for re-distribution. The Cuban Federation of `Women rallied thousands of women for 'volunteer work' for both productive and reproductive labour (41 million women in five years) along with incorporation of women in the paid work-force (one hundred thousand every year). The proportion of women opting out of women from the paid workforce was very high (76% in a single year). Political participation was also very low in the early 1970s. This was the context of the adoption of the Family Code in 1975 which directly addressed inequality within the home. However, this intervention co-incided with the compulsions of the reversal from moral incentives to production to the wage-surplus enterprise system[xiii].
In Tanzania, ujama after independence entailed the drawing in of women into the paid labour force in agriculture through the process of villagization. However the bulk of the land (70% in 1980) remained under private ownership[xiv]. In that sense, while it lasted, the first necessary condition of reorganisation of property relations which had been possible in the USSR, China and Cuba could not be achieved in Tanzania.
Cuba is an example where direct attempts to break the basis of the patriarchal family were muted by the compulsions of the enterprise based production system. China's attempts on the other are an illustration of the opposite. Soviet History lies between these two. The relationship of the enterprise system with the family has been the twin locus of determination of the wage-surplus relationship in the organisation of societies attempting social transformation in which the sexual division of both productive and reproductive labour has paid a pivotal role in a. the determination of the wage-surplus relationship itself b. making the social basis of patriarchy mutable in progressive ways but reversal of that mutability in the face of crises of production and/or reproduction.
An attempt to answer as to why this was so is important for the envisioning of socialism in specific social contexts in specific epochs. This note does not propose answers but makes a plea for a Marxist Feminist conception of historically specific state-society relations which would help to unravel the institutional linkages between enterprise and family in the material historical dialectic of production-reproduction in the specific context of the attempted social transformations to socialism in and since the twentieth century. This is an urgent political task bequeathed by the legacy of the 1917 Bolshevik Revolution.

WOW. Kinda creepy. OK, pretty creepy, but in the good way. The kind of creepy that can only come from Gaiman, which is a-ok.
I never know what to expect from Gaiman, so it's never what I expect, but it always exceeds my expectations. MirrorMask is no different.
I recommend it for fans of his work, want to become fans, or just like movies that are a tad off from the norm.

September 02 8:00 pm
Fire-breathing traveling gypsy circus indie grass? Acoustic, with benefits? The Absynth Quintet is a group of pickers purveying a truly unique brand of high-energy acoustic music. The band's sound, born and cultured in the fertile hills of Humboldt County, California, combines a reverent treatment of time-honored American music with a reckless, virtuosic, and often zany approach to innovation.
The youthful quintet melds the familiar and the avant-garde with a unique and provocative palette of tone and texture. The Eugene Weekly described their sound as lying "somewhere along the spectrum of acoustic-improvisational-gypsy-jazz . . . plucky and tight à la David Grisman" with "a dash of Eastern European exoticism that puts you in a smoky, understated hash bar kind of mood." This is street-corner swing and bluegrass with foot-stomping danceability, intertwined with playful forays into the depths of sophisticated musical experimentation. Absynth Quintet's most recent CD is Indigo Shows. They are joined this evening by flutist extraordinaire Matt Eakle of the David Grisman Quintet.

Couple of questions around Clause 24.
If I lease my privately owned property to my limited company and charge a low rent (still arguably market value) is that acceptable to HMRC?
If I lease my residential property via a commercial lease to a limited company doing serviced lets is it still considered a residential let and my interest claim affected by Clause 24 or does it then fall outside government changes?
