Thanks for sharing that. But, have to say, Blair Witch Project had me, had me, had me, ooooo lost me. I thought that movie started out with great potential. The first half hour or 40 minutes really had me ready for action. In my opinion, it quickly lost its edge and the acting became even more stiff when they couldn't find the map. From that point on, it was boring and laughable. I guess the crying, cussing and running through the night with the wobbly camera shot was supposed to ratchet up the terror, but it just seemed stupid to me.
Once again, the cheese walks alone on this. Almost everyone I know loved Blair Witch.

The new issue of Surreal Grotesque is out. Interview with horror legend Jack Ketchum inside: www.surrealgrotesque.com
Hello everybody, this is my first post ever on CD, but I've been a fan for a long time. I have a book coming out in August, it's called Infernal Machines, and here is some more info:
I'll check back in with more details as they come out, as long as that's alright.
One of the best books I've read all year. CATACLYSM BABY is dark, lyrical, post-apocalyptic stories of birth, myth, deformity and fable. This is a must read for fans of literary fiction with a sharp edge. I've been reading Matt for years, and this is some of his best work.

2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not for an hour; that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.

2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)
2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
2:10 Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do.
2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
2:15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles,
2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified.
2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ, we ourselves also are found sinners, is therefore Christ the minister of sin? God forbid.
2:18 For if I build again the things which I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor.
2:19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that I might live unto God.
2:20 I am crucified with Christ: neverthless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
2:21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
If in chapter one Paul details his movements, showing that he did not make constant contact with the apostles, except for a courtesy call on Peter, in this chapter he details the contact he did have subsequently. First of all there was the right hand of fellowship, as the other apostles recognised his call from God, then there was a confrontation, because Peter and others had been influenced by those who taught that believers should put themselves under law.

2:1 Then fourteen years after I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas- Paul was saved about AD 36, and died about AD 69, so for half of his Christian life he was fairly unknown. The same is true of Moses, John the Baptist, and, pre-eminently, Christ Himself. It is salutary to think how much he achieved for the sake of Christ in a relatively short time. And took Titus with me also- Titus provided a test-case, to demonstrate that circumcision is not necessary for the believer. Note he took Titus also, meaning that Paul took Barnabas, not vice versa. Previously Barnabas had gone to Jerusalem to assure the believers that their former persecutor was genuinely saved, see Acts 9:26-28.
2:2 And I went up by revelation- He was not summoned by the apostles to give account of himself, but is directed by a revelation from the Lord, showing he was in harmony with the Lord in his life. He is not behind Moses the lawgiver in this, who spake with God directly, Numbers 12:8; Deuteronomy 34:10. Perhaps the reference to revelation is not simply a word about a particular journey he should take, but rather, the more extensive matter of the revelation he had received from God about the nature of the present age, as detailed in Ephesians 3. For an exposition of this chapter, click on EPHESIANS 3 on the menu in the home page. And communicated unto them that gospel which I preach among the Gentiles- not in the sense that he told them what they did not know, but laid it out before them in all its aspects, so they could see he was not preaching a mixed gospel. But privately to them which were of reputation- Paul is concerned that those in responsible positions amongst the saints should be happy with what he was preaching. He was not intent on making a party for himself, but was in full fellowship with the apostles. He did this privately, not in a church council, which might look as if he were being called to account. When it was the truth of the gospel at risk, rather than his own service, he withstood Peter publicly, "Before them all", verse 14. Lest by any means I should run, or had run, in vain- he was concerned that his activity should be useful in the future, and if it had not been in the past, he was ready to make amends.
2. 2:3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised- Those who advocated a return to law-keeping, had to require circumcision if they were to be consistent. Circumcision had become a sign of submission to the law of Moses, even though it was "of the fathers", John 7:22, that is, was known and practised by the patriarchs from Abraham onwards. Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of the God (is everything)", 1 Corinthians 7:19. This verse is best understood as a parenthesis, so that verse 4 is a continuation of the line of thought in verse 2. Paul uses the matter of Titus as a test-case, to show that circumcision is not necessary now.
2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in- If there were those who infiltrated the ranks of the believers in those early days, how careful we should be in these last days, when perilous times have come. The word unawares is used in classical Greek of enemies brought into a city by the help of traitors already within. Who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus- The Lord could say, "in secret have I said nothing", John 18:20, and Paul could say, "This thing was not done in a corner", Acts 26:26. The words "spy out" are used in 2 Samuel 10:3, when the princes of Ammon said David had "sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and to spy it out, and to overthrow it". That they might bring us into bondage- they came with the intention of assessing the way Jewish believers were living, now that they were saved by grace, and far from desiring to share in this liberty, they came to persuade the Galatians to embrace the Law, and so go back to bondage.
2:5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not even an hour- Paul realised that the whole of God's purpose would be frustrated if believers reverted to the law in any way. That the truth of the gospel might continue with you- he is sure that law and gospel do not mix; sure, also, that the gospel is truth, just as much as Law.
2:6 But of these who seemed to be somewhat- those who were in positions of authority and influence, such as apostles who had been with the Lord when He was on earth. (Whatsoever they were, it maketh no matter to me, God accepteth no man's person:)- this does not mean that the apostle was indifferent to the influence of these people, but simply that what they once were as disciples of the Lord before the Cross, was not the point, for that did not give them any advantage over Paul, or the Galatians. God does not accept a person because of his privileges, but because of his relationship with Christ Risen; all are equal in this connection. Peter described believers as those who had obtained like precious faith with the apostles, 2 Peter 1:1, so in that respect apostles are no different to other believers. For they who seemed to be somewhat in conference added nothing to me- this is why the former privilege of these men was not the point, for they did not add anything to Paul's knowledge of the gospel when he conferred with them.
2:7 But contrariwise- the reverse was the case. When they saw that the gospel of the uncircumcision was committed unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was unto Peter- there are not two gospels, but God did give Peter special responsibility to preach to Jews, (which makes the choice of him to preach to Cornelius all the more remarkable, although the Lord did give him the keys of the kingdom of heaven, one of which he used on the Day of Pentecost, and the other in the house of Cornelius), and Paul special responsibility to the Gentile world, for which he was admirably fitted by upbringing and outlook.
2:8 (For He who wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:)- the expression "wrought effectually" is the same as "mighty", so exactly the same power is put forward by God in the case of each servant. There is no need for either of them to add the influence of the law to their gospel preaching. Note Paul's recognition of Peter's leading role- there is no personal jealousy.
2:9 And when James, Cephas and John, who seemed to be pillars- there is no irony in the word "seemed"; they were recognised as prominent leaders in the testimony. They seemed to be pillars because they were. Perceived the grace of God that was given unto me- the grace is not only God's favourable help in the exercise of gift, but the gift itself. It was obvious to these spiritual men that Paul was greatly used of God. Believers are sometimes slow to recognise the gift God has given. On the other hand, it is possible to lay hands on a believer too hastily, 1 Timothy 5:22. A balance must be maintained. They gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship- note the plural hands, for each of these three was willing to associate with Paul and Barnabas, which is why it is the right hands of fellowship. We tend to shake hands as a formality, but this is not the case here. That we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision- so the personal mode of service was recognised. It was not that Peter, James and John would not preach if there were no Jews in the audience, but rather, that to evangelise their own nation was their special task, always remembering the gospel must be preached to every creature.
2:10 Only- this is the only stipulation they gave to Paul and Barnabas, for they were in total agreement on the truths of the gospel. Grace, however, might be thought of as careless of works, hence this injunction. That we should remember the poor- it is especially relevant, given the way the Jewish believers has taken joyfully the spoiling of their goods, Hebrews 10:34. The same which I also was forward to do- Paul was "zealous of good works", Titus 2:14, and this suggestion from the other apostles presented no problem to him. An appreciation of the grace of God should prompt us to far exceed the stipulations of the law as regards giving. God is the God of the fatherless and the widows, but He most often supplies their needs through His people. Grace should exceed the law in its generosity, just as God in grace has given His Son, whereas under the law He only gave tables of stone.
2:11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed- Antioch was the first assembly formed after regular preaching to Gentiles was established, hence the freedom of grace was specially enjoyed here, see Acts 11:19-21. The purpose of God was that the tidings of grace should flow out from Jerusalem to the nations, now here the bondage of the law is being brought from its centre, Jerusalem, Galatians 4:25. It was from Antioch that relief had been sent for the poor saints at Jerusalem, by the hands of Paul and Barnabas, Acts 11:27-30. That was the liberty of grace in operation, but Peter now, sadly, brings the bondage of law to Antioch from Jerusalem. Note that an apostle is here exposed as being in the wrong. The apostles were inspired of God to preach and write, and when they did this they were infallible, but at other times they were liable to error, in the measure in which they depended on their own strength. The idea of Papal Infallibility is completely without support in the Scriptures.
2:12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles- as his vision had indicated it was permissible for him to do, for Peter himself had said in Cornelius's house, "Ye know how that is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep company; or to come unto one of another nation; but God hath showed me that I should call no man common or unclean", Acts 10:28. But when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision- Peter, the ardent and forceful leader amongst the apostles, is here giving way to the influence of men. "The fear of man bringeth a snare", Proverbs 29:25.
2:13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation- Dissimulation is hypocrisy, play-acting, appearing to be other than what you really are. Note the increasing consequences of Peter's action, for no man liveth to himself, Romans 14:7. They were truly free men, but were acting as if they were in bondage.
2:14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel- Peter had strayed from the straight path of righteousness. That path of righteousness is now set out by the truth of the gospel, for the law of righteousness, holy and just as it is, did not supply the power to live righteously, but the gospel does. I said unto Peter before them all- the matter was of such concern, and was so harmful to the progress of the gospel, that it could not be dealt with privately. Fresh from his commendation by Peter, James and John, and as the apostle to the uncircumcised Gentiles, Paul had a special interest in contending for the truth in this way. Sometimes, no matter how revered the brother involved, and how much temporary disturbance there might be, it is the best course to deal with matters straightforwardly and openly. If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of the Gentiles- despite his temporary change of policy, Peter was committed to the truth that those outward things of mere religion which once divided Jew from Gentile, are no longer valid. Paul no doubt had the gift of discerning of spirits, and could tell that Peter's change of behaviour was not from conviction. And not as do the Jews- it is not that Peter has combined a Gentile manner of life with a Jewish one, but has turned wholly from his religious observance. Why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?- to live as do the Jews is not simply to adopt Jewish customs for the sake of a varied lifestyle, but in principle to put oneself under the law as a code of conduct for the believer. The matter of diet may seem to be of small account, but it represented a distinction between Jew and Gentile, which at a fundamental level involved commitment to the law which prescribed the diet. It was not logical, then, for Peter to renounce the law, then adopt legal customs of separation from Gentiles. Nor was it logical for him to expect Gentiles to virtually live like Jews when they were not Jews.
2:15 We who are Jews by nature- Peter and Paul were both born of Jewish parents, and had been brought up to live as Jews, so that it was part of their nature to live like a Jew. They were not converts to Judaism, who might be less zealous of Jewish customs. There is neither Jew nor Gentile in Christ, 3:28, but as those brought up in the customs of israel, and before conversion to Christ, there was this distinction, hence the use of the word "Jew" in the previous verse. And not sinners of the Gentiles- whilst it is true that Peter and Paul were "sinners of the Jews", nonetheless their upbringing had shielded them from the unrestrained excesses of the nations around.
2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law- despite their upbringing, they had come to realise, (and the prophets would tell them this, as well as their own hearts when they failed to keep the law), that all attempts to be just by works would fail. But by the faith of Jesus Christ- this gospel truth had reached their ears, and they knew that for them, law and all its attendant customs and rites, must be left behind. Even we have believed in Jesus Christ- despite their upbringing under a God-given law, they had turned to Christ in faith. That we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law- so their understanding of what was involved when they believed was clear- they had no reservations about leaving "law for righteousness", for Christ is the end of that as far as believers are concerned, Romans 10:4. For by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified- a quotation from Psalm143:2, which confirms from the Old Testament that the stand they had taken was a wise one.
2:17 But if, while we seek to be justified by Christ- the "but if" indicates that the apostle is arguing as if he and Peter are where the Judaizers wanted them to be, and where Peter, by his change of practice, had put himself; namely, brought up under the law, and only embracing Christ as a supplement. See Acts 15:5, where the false teachers were saying that Christ was not enough, there must be law-works as well. This is why the apostle uses the word seek, for those who seek have not found what they are looking for, and this is the position of those who say that other things apart from Christ are necessary for justification. We also ourselves are found sinners– whenever the law tests us, it finds us wanting, even as believers. See Romans 7:7-25 for a demonstration of this. Paul, in this hypothetical situation, was seeking and not finding, for the law exposed his sinfulness, and discovering it, "found him a sinner". Is therefore Christ the minister of sin?- in this scenario, Christ is unable to fully save, and the law is needed for complete salvation. Until such time as he does achieve salvation, a man is still a sinner, and Christ's inability to fully save is responsible for that. Note that he does not say even in this theoretical situation that Christ was the minister of sin, but only that it might lead to that question being asked, and he does not want even that to happen. God forbid!- this is unthinkable, and therefore the situation Paul has imagined, is not the true one, and it is otherwise with the believer than that he is in any way helped by the law.
2:18 For if I build again the things I destroyed, I make myself a transgressor- Far from Christ being the minister of sin, it would be Paul who was the transgressor, for if he went back to law in any way, then that law would expose him as a transgressor of that law. Before he had his vision at Joppa, Peter would not have even gone into a Gentile's house. He was taught by God, however, that this was not the Christian way, see Acts 9:27-29. As a result of learning this important lesson, which had far-reaching consequences, Peter was happy to have to do with Gentiles. He destroyed the old restrictions, for the best possible reason, God had destroyed them- "What God hath cleansed, that call not thou unclean". For Paul, this was like breaking down the "middle wall of partition" that separated the Court of the Gentiles from the rest of the Temple enclosure, see Acts 21:27-29; Ephesians 2:11-18. By reversing his decision, Peter would be building the middle wall of partition again. But Paul uses the personal pronoun "I", for he is not yet certain that he can include Peter in his realisation of the gravity of building again what God had pulled down.
2:19 For I, through the law, am dead to the law- as far as Paul was concerned, (and also as far as Peter was concerned, too, in principle, but not now in practice), the law had made its demands against him as a sinner. These demands he could not meet, but Christ met them for him, accepting the consequences of Paul's law-breaking, and paying the penalty for it. But Paul was "dead to the law by the body of Christ", Romans 7:4. In other words, the process which Christ went through in the body, namely, of paying the penalty for other's law-breaking on the cross, being placed in a tomb as one who was really dead, and then rising again bodily, (the sure sign that the penalty the law demanded was paid), was the means of deliverance for Paul, for God was pleased to associate him with the death burial and resurrection of Christ, Romans 6:1-11. So by the process the body of Christ went through, Paul was dead to the law, for the law only has dealings with living persons, see Romans 7:1-4, and Paul died with Christ. This position, however, came about because the law made its demands, so Paul can say that he is dead to the law by the law. That I might live unto God- Christ lives unto God, Romans 6:10, and Paul is risen with Him, and thus also lives unto God. But the significant thing is that he lives unto God without being under the law. It is significant that there is no record of any reply by Peter to these statements. He must immediately have been convinced by Paul's argument.
2:20 SAUL OF TARSUS DIED. I am crucified with Christ- The man who was born and brought up under the law is dead, for God has associated him with Christ when He died on the cross. He could not escape from the law by himself, only by Christ and His death. Paul was crucified with Christ, and that was an action in the past with present results. In is not without relevance to remember that Christ was crucified at the instigation of the representatives of the law.
PAUL THE APOSTLE LIVES. Nevertheless I live- Christianity is positive, not simply death to former things, but real life through Christ. The Good Shepherd came to those in the fold of Judaism to lead them out of it, and give them life abundant, John 10:10. Paul lives in the present good of what happened in the past.
SAUL OF TARSUS IS NOT REVIVED. Yet not I- association with Christ risen prevents a return to old things, for "If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation", 2 Corinthians 5:17. The word "Yet" as used here is a time-word- no longer I (emphatic), or in other words, the old person, Saul of Tarsus, is no longer alive, in God's reckoning.
CHRIST LIVES IN PAUL. But Christ liveth in me- "If any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you…" Romans 8:9,10. "That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith", Ephesians 3:17. "At that day ye shall know that I am in My Father, and ye in me, and I in you", John 14:20. These scriptures indicate that because the Spirit of God dwells within the believer, Christ can be said to dwell, too, for Divine persons are One. Because this is so, the features of Christ may be manifest through a believer's life and character, and thus Christ is formed in us, Galatians 4:19.
PAUL LIVES A SPIRITUAL LIFE IN A NATURAL BODY. And the life which I now live in the flesh- such is the power of the gospel that a true Christian life can be lived here and now, with no need to wait until we get to heaven. The law was weak through the flesh, Romans 8:3, and used the flesh to bring a person into bondage, Romans 7:5. By the power of the indwelling Spirit, however, the believer is enabled to live a victorious life, even though the flesh is still present with him as a hindrance. We should distinguish between living in the flesh, which in this verse means living in the body on earth, and living after the flesh in the Romans 8:9,12 sense, for the believer is not in the flesh but in the Spirit.
PAUL LIVES BY FAITH, NOT WORKS. I live by the faith of the Son of God- faith of the Son of God is first of all, faith which associates with the Son of God, then secondly, faith as expressed in the life of the Son of God down here. He was full of grace and truth, as He expressed eternal life in His person, and of His fullness have all we received, John 1:14,16. Note it is the faith of the Son of God, not of Jesus, for Paul will later show that we are sons, and have the Son of God Himself as our example of dignity and responsibility.
PAUL'S SALVATION LIES IN CHRIST'S WORK, NOT HIS OWN. Who loved me, and gave Himself for me- the law demanded that man love God and his neighbour, whereas grace presents Christ loving men. This love was not theoretical, but practical, for He willingly surrendered Himself to the cross in the supreme act of grace. If Paul in any measure loves and gives, whether to God or men, it will be because Christ first loved and gave. "We love Him, because He first loved us", 1 John 4:19. 2:21 PAUL DOES NOT SET ASIDE THE GRACE OF GOD. I do not frustrate the grace of God- frustrate may either mean set aside, or think lightly of. Neither attitude is appropriate in view of what God in grace has done for us through Christ. For if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain- The life which he lived by faith was a life oF righteousness, but if that could have been achieved by the works of the law, then Christ need not have died. To frustrate the grace of God, then, is to suggest that the death of Christ was not necessary.
Note the contrasts in these verses:
Crucified or living.
Not Paul but Christ.
Life in the flesh of the life of faith.
Christ Himself, given for Paul.
Note also the prepositions used: Crucified "with" Christ…Christ "in" me…Faith "of" the Son of God…gave Himself "for" me.

A chronograph is a stop watch. Most wristwatches that incorporate a stop watch are also called chronographs, but this is just because it sounds more fashionable, in reality they are still wrist watches that incorporate a chronograph. The word chronograph comes from the ancient Greek word "chronos", meaning time and "graphein", to write. So in effect it's a time-writer. Chronographs are not to be mixed up with chronometers. They are something completely different, which will be explained in the bit about…

The most robust watch crystals are made out of sapphire glass. Only diamonds and carbide is harder and can scratch sapphire glass. Of course there are other materials such as some metals and stones which will scratch your sapphire glass crystal, so it is not wise to expect the watch to handle any abuse without getting marked. Sapphire has one downside though, it is highly reflective. Some watches receive an anti-glare coating to compensate for this, but sadly this coating is less hard and will scratch more easily.glass
Different from titan watches, which are just timepieces for very large people out of the Greek mythology, titanium watches are made from titanium. This is a very hard metal, making the watches very durable and scratch resistant. Plus this metal is surprisingly light, so titanium watches will not dislocate your shoulder every time you swing your arm. It is these to qualities that make titanium popular with space technology engineers, racing car makers and other high-end gadgetry. In addition to being just a very suitable material for making watches out of, it is also the case material of choice for people with a nickel allergy who have too much style for plastic watches. Titanium watches definitely do not contain nickel.
Titanium is also darker than stainless steel. It looks greyer and is less shiny than the silvery gleam of stainless steel watches.

Since the going theory stipulates that the earth is not flat and the sun is not the sun-god Ra in his golden chariot, but that we actually live on a ball of dirt flying around a star, it is obvious that the daytime will never be the same on any two points of different longitude at any given time. Now if you were going to be precise, then you are actually in a different time of day than your neighbours to the east and west of you. But that would be splitting hairs, or would it? Anyways, important people decided a long time ago that for practicalities sake, they would divide the globe into 24 time zones that are one hour apart. Of course one had to find a compromise between geographical position and national borders in order for ordinary life to function. Since the industrial revolution, people adhering to the same principles of time measurement have become essential to the workings of our society. But you will find that every so often a time zone will shift in order to make life easier or more profitable in one country or region. For example the UK is considering not of moving to a different time zone, that would be rubbish of course, since they invented it, but of adopting "double summer time" in one year and then only going back one hour at the end of it. This would effectively put them in the same time zone as the rest of Europe./ World time
Water tightness or impermeability, surprisingly enough, is the degree to which you can expose your watch to the element water. A watch can be water repellent to a variety of degrees, from surviving the odd splash, to keeping the watch fully functioning long after your crushed body has hit the ocean floor. Please note that these are always theoretical values. Water behaves very differently at different temperatures and with varying salinity. So we took our crayons and made you this rough guide (which, by the way, is in no way legally binding and we will not be held accountable for your watch if you ruin it)::

Objectification whatever the size: MTR on Online Opinion
On the 7pm ABC News Sunday, June 27, a report on the Federal Government's new voluntary body image code of conduct was illustrated by the story of size 14 model Laura Wells. Laura was proud of her body and very confident, even though she didn't conform to the typical model body type.
That is a good thing of course. It's positive to have women in the industry who challenge the thin ideal.
But the argument fell apart for me, because, as the ABC report informed us, Laura was so confident that she even took her clothes off for modeling shoots. And then we saw some footage of her squeezing her breasts together for the camera. She was naked. Read the complete article here.
As readers know, I was a guest on the Gruen Sessions, broadcast online on the ABC website last Wednesday. I blogged on it here. Just came across this blog, 'Head, Heart, Hands' commenting on the show. I particularly liked Sheryl's insightful observation below and thought you might be interested in what she says as well.
What I found really interesting was the ability of the advertising executives to hold a position of defensive innocence in tension with their
1. agreement that advertising images are connected with negative mental and physical health outcomes for young women.
2. acknowledgement that when the advertising industry uses real women in ads it's only as a strategy to sell more product, not because it's the right thing to do.
3. acknowledgement that advertising taps into consumers' aspirations and desires, including aspiring to very narrowly defined "good looks", because aspiration creates sales.
4. agreement that advertising has a responsibility to "get it right" and not objectify women when solving their client's brief.
5. agreement that there should be transparency about the use of digital technology to enhance images.
6. agreement that there should be stricter standards on outdoor advertising because "you can't get away from it".
7. acknowedgement that only 4% of women in our society are like the women used in advertisements.
You can read Sheryl's post here.
UK Bans Diesel ads – but not because of offense to women
The Revolution of Real Women has criticised the UK's advertising watchdog for banning the Diesel 'Be Stupid' ads – for the wrong reasons.
The ads were banned not because they were objectifying and offensive to women, but because they might encourage copy-cat behaviour (cos like a woman in a bikini is going to take a photo of her genitals with a lion lurking in the background).
As RORW writes: "…this is an ad campaign that BLATANTLY preaches that appearances, promiscuity and sexiness is far more important than WHO we are and what we accomplish".

I like the idea of this outfit but I didn't love wearing it last week. For some reason I really don't love dresses with curved hems. Even when curved hem dresses are long enough I keep feeling like I'm wearing an untucked shirt or a nightgown. And then adding the straight hemmed cardigan seemed to just accentuate what I don't love about the bottom of the dress. It just bugged me the whole time I was wearing it and now even more when I look at the pictures. Maybe I'm crazy?
This week I'm in San Antonio for a client configuration workshop and a super fun first for me – I got food poisoning from the hotel room service dinner I ate last night. It was a pretty mild case but made presenting all day in front of 20 people decidedly not awesome. Still feeling pretty… off. Ugh. Hope I recover by tomorrow!

So many of the games in minetest focus on mining. even the space sim 'minetest Saturn' has mining at its roots.
Many devs see minetest as a 'mining game engine' but, as i see it, even with its current flaws and limitations, its effectively a 3D equivalent of a 'tilemap' engine. and a powerful one at that.
Don't get me wrong, minetest can be fun with its current selection. and don't get me wrong, PvE/PvP, mining, and building are natural choices for using an engine like minetest.
But i think there's FAR more potential in minetest as an engine than people realize.
Some Ideas
- Multiplayer Car Racing. Don't get me wrong, I know minetest's current physics basically necessitate a lua mastermind to crank out custom car physics code, and the racing framework isn't going to be easy either. But minetest is no stranger to complex systems. From Advanced trains and its complex train system that can work beyond loaded chunks, to mesecons, digilines, technic and pipeworks.
- Golf While the landscape is blocky, i think that could add its own set of challenges to this age-old game. While this could be done as a mod, and i wouldn't mind seeing it as such, taking that a step further by pairing it with a procedural course system, and multiplayer action, would be pretty compelling.
- Flight Simulator This would be a wonderful game to do. particularly when paired with some custom mapgen and perhaps some multiplayer dogfight and checkpoint action.
- tricksport games you know, proper parkour, skateboarding, BMX, etc.
- 3D adventure-platformers . Minetest has already shown its capable of using predetermined terrain in a map. take the tutorial for example. oddly, its the closest example of adventure-platformer gameplay I've seen in minetest.
Feel free to share any similar ideas in the discussion below. :)

Medicaid and mental health coverage
For some people with limited incomes or disabilities, Medicaid may be their only resource for health care, including mental health services.
Medicaid is financed jointly by federal and state government to pay some of the costs of medical and long-term care for eligible individuals. State programs typically provide basic services, such as doctor visits, hospital care, lab services and some mental health care. They may provide limited optional services such as dental and vision care, and prescription drugs.
Medicaid serves some low-income individuals and families, certain elderly people and people with disabilities. Others may qualify. Eligibility rules vary widely from state to state and are determined in part by income, resources and disability status.
Medicaid often provides broader mental health benefits than those provided by private insurance, including employment-related services, as well as therapy and medications.
But services and costs vary by state. Some states cover services by a licensed psychologist or social worker, others cover only psychological services offered at clinics, hospitals, or community health centers.
In recent years, Medicaid health coverage in many states has been reduced in cost cutting measures. Some programs require prior approval for certain drugs or the use of generic drugs. Many states are joining together to buy medications at a reduced cost and are establishing a limited list of 'preferred drugs' for Medicaid recipients.
Recent parity laws require that, for those in Medicaid managed-care plans and many private group health plans, deductibles, co-payments and limits on the number of visits or days of coverage must be no more restrictive for coverage of mental illnesses and substance abuse than for coverage of medical and surgical treatments.

Automating Emergency Power Supply System Testing in Hospitals
Due to the shortcomings of manual testing, an increasing number of hospitals are switching to automated emergency power supply system testing. Automated EPSS testing increases reliability due to the accurate monitoring and recording of test parameters, it provides traceability in case of unanticipated problems with the EPS system or litigation, and it helps to reduce the staffing burden for such tests.Read more
Verifying the Health of Backup or Emergency Power Supply Batteries
Emergency power systems rely on batteries to deliver power at the right moment, in order to start a generator or to run a UPS in the event of an outage. Neglected batteries, however, are the most common reason for backup power failure. This paper discusses how automated testing systems provide precise functional assessments of battery health, and how such systems prevent unnecessary failures.Read more

In a whirlwind of post-storm decisions that might ruffle some feathers, Gov. Chris Christie announced a string of orders and plans intended to speed New Jersey's recovery from Superstorm Sandy, including telling teachers to work on their days off and utilities to speed up the job of power restoration.
He secured loaned rail cars to use in place of some of the New Jersey Transit cars that were flooded, ordered natural gas shut off in devastated places and announced that military trucks would be used as makeshift polling places in places where regular voting spots are without power.
"We're in the triage and attack phase of the storm, so we can restore power, reopen schools, get public transportation back online and allow people to return to their homes if they've been displaced," he said Thursday in Moonachie.
He told utility companies they have to work harder to turn lights back on in the 1.7 million homes and businesses in the state that remain without power after Superstorm Sandy hit Monday, and told teachers to report to work on days they are entitled to have off.
The Republican governor, known far and wide for his forcefulness, has gotten mostly praise so far for his handling on the storm. President Barack Obama complimented him, Democratic New Jersey politicians have appeared by his side, constituents have hugged him and skeptical storm victims have credit to the state's efforts.
"I'm from Florida, so we're used to it," said Konnie Jones, 47, who was holed in a shelter in Pleasantville after her apartment in Atlantic City was evacuated. "I'll admit they did a good job, a really good, fine job so far."
But some of his new actions will likely ruffle feathers.
The New Jersey Education Association, the state's largest teachers union and a group that has frequently clashed with the governor, announced Thursday that it was canceling its annual convention scheduled for next week in Atlantic City because of the storm.
The convention means an extra break in the school calendar. Some districts have four-day weekends to accommodate the convention, and others use it to scratch an entire week of classes by holding teacher in-service sessions on some other days that week. The result is a time that some people call "New Jersey Week" for Disney World because so many New Jersey families head to Florida then.
Christie said that because the storm forced unscheduled days off for schools, teachers should agree to return to the classroom on Nov. 8 and 9, the days the convention would have been held. He said he could invoke emergency powers to force them to teach on those days if they didn't do it on their own.
It's not clear what school districts will want to do, but union officials say Christie's idea doesn't work because so many students and parents have plans to be away.
The governor also summoned the leaders of the state's three major electric utilities and said he told them that they need to work faster to turn back on power. The companies had restored service to about 1 million residential and business customers from the 2.7 million that were out of power at the peak Tuesday.
"I made it clear to them that whatever playbooks they had were to be thrown out because we've never faced anything like this before," he said.
He said he was demanding that they tell him exactly how many more workers and how much more equipment they would need.
His administration arranged to bring both from 12 other states — even flying them in on military jets, in some cases. The federal government was setting up temporary housing for the workers on Fort Monmouth.
Before the speedup was announced, the utility with the most outages, JCP&L, was expecting it would take nearly two weeks to restore customers in some of the hardest-hit areas.
The governor also ordered natural gas service shut off from Mantoloking to Island Beach State Park, a stretch of an Ocean County barrier island where several fires have burned, fueled by leaking gas. He said the order will mean that New Jersey Natural Gas will have to pay to rebuild the natural gas system in the region.
Since Monday's storm hit, Christie has scoffed at questions about how Election Day will work on Tuesday, saying he had other priorities to deal with first.
But on Thursday, his administration announced that it was extending the application to apply for mail-in ballots until Friday and was arranging for military trucks to be set up as polls in spots where the regular polls were without power or destroyed.
It's unclear how many of the state's 3,000 polling places will be affected. The change means that some voters will be using paper ballots instead of electronic ones — and that's likely to extend the time it takes to tally results.
Christie also said Thursday that although Atlantic City's 12 casinos all have electricity, they will not be allowed to reopen until drinking water in the city is found to be safe and power can be restored to the rest of the city.
The governor is also trying to bring back more of the mass-transit system that is so important to the state, particularly residents who work in New York City. He said the federal government would loan New Jersey passenger cars.
About one-fourth of NJ Transit's cars were in flooded rail yards and are not ready to roll.
The first NJ Transit train to New York's Penn Station since before the storm was set to roll in Monday morning, but a power failure delayed the return of three other train lines, agency spokesman John Durso Jr. said.

In an exclusive interview with ITVoice, Mr. Sunil Grewal, Director, GIGABYTE Technology (India) Pvt. Ltd., reveals his strategies for business in India……
ITVoice Media:- As digital technologies and digitization is gaining more foothold in India with the government of the day actively promoting these, what opportunities you see in this sphere?
Mr. Sunil Grewal:- An increasing number of enterprises, city administrators, and PSUs (public sector undertakings) across India are making the most of the government's focus on and support for digitization. They are implementing the concept in various spheres of their operations
In this context, for companies like GIGABYTE in the IT sector, systematic digitisation brings forth a huge business opportunity – especially in the non-metro regions.
ITVoice Media:- There an increasing demand in India for high-performance, high-end PC systems. How has been GIGABYTE India's experience in this segment?
Mr. Sunil Grewal:- A. Since the last few years, there is an increasing demand for in India high-performance PC systems from user categories like graphics / animation studios, film / TV production houses, and professional gamers, among others. This increase in demand for high-end motherboards is also witnessed in Tier 2 and 3 cities.
In addition to formally educating our channel partners on our high-end motherboards, we have recently started formal engagements with the users of high-end motherboards.

I had been planning on going to D.C. for the rock n roll half, but decided not to do it because I haven't been able to run yet since my liposuction.
But Charity had already been planning on coming with me, so we had already bought plane tickets, and still wanted to go and just make a fun girls weekend of it. And boy, did we!
To start with, I'm not a frequent flyer, so the takeoff and landing always makes me nervous. Our plane was small, and it was windy. So it was pretty turbulent. Poor Charity, I left an indention in her hand from her ring since I was squeezing her so hard. She loves me.
After arriving, we decided to ride the metro to our hotel.
A few minutes after we got on, a man with only one arm bursts through the door that goes between the trains, slams it shut, and starts yelling. He says he just got out of jail after 4 years, and he needs money. He doesn't want to have to hurt anyone or have to steal, but he needs money.
Of course I immediately turned on the sound recording on my phone, just in case.
I swear, I never prayed so hard in my life!! By this time he had gone to the back of the train and I heard him tell someone thank you.
Thankfully, our stop was about 30 seconds after all that craziness and we got off of there as fast as we could!!
It's funny because I was just telling Charity how unsafe a metro seems. There's no security or anything. There's no way for anyone to run away or escape, you're just stuck! Of course guns aren't allowed, so no one can even protect themselves. And then crazy guy gets on and starts robbing people.
We said no more metro for us, only Uber from now on!
|Our first ever Uber ride. I wasn't as nervous as I look
The food was good, and it was a great experience.
|White House in the distance
|Crab Cake
|NY Strip Steak
|Buffalo Cauliflower (amazing!!)
After eating, we went down to the lobby of the W hotel and Charity (who is a professional photographer) starts taking some pictures of me.
We immediately got swarmed by security! Apparently you can only take pictures with your phone, you cant use an actual camera. We'd never heard of such a thing! Guess it has something to do with being next door to the White House, who knows.
In our rush to get out of there, we left our $25 desserts from POV there in the lobby. That hurt!
We Uber'd (is that a word?) back to our hotel and around 1 we headed to bed. I went into the bathroom, and almost stepped on a HUGE roach. I am not joking, it was like triple the size of a regular one. Charity thinks I'm dying, so she rushes in there and it disappears.
She calms me down (haha!) and then she goes in there, and whaddya know, there it is again. And this time it follows her out into the hallway.
She goes into the kitchenette, and sees one crawling out of the sink!
That was it- I AM OUT. I call the front desk, and they are very apologetic and bring us a key for a different room, a few doors down. First thing we see in the new room- a mouse trap. Gahhh!!!
So we had quite a night. At one point we were almost asleep when Charity screams and jumps out of bed and starts ripping her clothes off, because she felt something crawling on her. We later realized it was just her necklace.
We could not stop laughing.
Needless to say, we had a very eventful, adventurous first night in DC!
Saturday we went sightseeing...more on that later.

Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda from 1953.
This flick is less well known than Plan 9 From Outer Space, but in many ways it is a much better movie. In fact, it might not even really qualify to be on this site.
We do however adore Ed's work, so here we go in all it's glory – Ed Wood coming out in public as a full blown transvestite. And in fact that is the fascinating thing about Ed Wood. His enthusiasm and willingness to go all the way to get his movie done. Ed Wood is NOT about talent – he is all about enthusiasm and drive.

Is it too much effort to communicate UPFRONT where a live stream will be available and where NOT?ReplyDelete
This is 2012, and the world wide web - or the world for that matter - does not end at the shoreline of the US. There are people living on the other side of those oceans ... into music, online ... and deserving some respect.
The people at VEVO and the production team for this gig should have know better. You 've p*ssed off a lot of Killers fans tonight, and that's a real shame.
Great Videos after watching these videos i come to know many things i have some of this type of videos in funmela website where we can download mp4 videos free and also we can watch online TV freeReplyDelete

guilty of such disloyal conduct. We likewise command all our other bailiffs, governors of towns, castles and bridges, and all our officers of justice, diligently to assist you in obeying these our commands; and we also enjoin these our aforesaid officers to permit all our loyal subjects to pass free and unmolested with their horses and baggage when travelling to join us, on showing only a certificate from you under the royal seal of your bailiwick, that they are on their march to us, or elsewhere on our service, notwithstanding we may before have ordered them not to suffer any men-at-arms to pass or repass, whatever may have been their rank or condition, without our especial licence contained in letters patent of a prior date to these presents.
"Given at Paris the 26th day of January, in the year 1413." Signed by the king, on the report of a grand council held by the queen, present the duke of Aquitaine. Countersigned, "MAUREGARD."
This ordinance was sent to Amiens, and to other towns of France,—and with it the king inclosed other letters to many towns on the line of march which the duke of Burgundy would probably take, forbidding him, or any of his people, to pass the frontiers of the realm, under pain of incurring his indignation.
The duke of Burgundy, to accomplish his expedition to Paris, on leaving Arras, made for Peronne, intending to enter France; but the inhabitants, who had before received the king's orders not to let him pass, sent to him the lord de Longueval, their governor, to excuse them for denying him entrance into their town. Although the duke was far from being pleased, he, however, pretended indifference to their conduct, marched his forces beside the town, and crossed the Somme at Esclusieu ", and went to Roye in the Vermandois. He thence sent forward his brother the count de Nevers, who had joined him with a handsome company, to Compiegne. The count treated so successfully with the townsmen of Compiegne, that, notwithstanding the commands of the king, they consented to permit him to pass. The principal reasons for their assenting were the copies of the correspondence between the duke of Aquitaine and the duke of Burgundy, which were shown to them, and which contained the express wishes of the duke of Aquitaine for the duke of Burgundy to come to his aid. The tenor of the above and of the certificate were as follows. "To all who these presents shall see, Jean Clabault, esquire-keeper for the king of the seal of the bailiwick of Vermandois established at Roye, greeting. Know ye, that on the 23d day of February, of the present year 1413, the most puissant and noble prince my lord duke of Burgundy has exhibited to us, and shown three letters sealed and signed by the most excellent and puissant prince the duke of Aquitaine, which we have held, seen, and read, word by word, the contents of which are as follow. 'Very dear and well beloved father, we order, that on the receipt of this letter, you lay all excuses aside and come to us, well accompanied for your own proper security; and as you fear our anger, do not fail coming. Written with our own hand, at Paris, the 4th day of December." Signed, "Louis.' The address was, 'To our very dear and well beloved father the duke of Burgundy." "Another letter was in these terms: "Very dear and well-beloved father, I wrote to you some time since, to desire you would come to me very well accompanied. I therefore entreat and order, that you hasten hither as speedily as may be, but well accompanied, for good reasons: do not fail, for I will bear you through the whole matter, as shall be seen. Written with my own hand, in Paris, the 13th day of December. Signed by himself, 'Louis.' The superscription was, 'To our very dear and well-beloved father the duke of Burgundy.' "The third letter contained,—"Very dear and well-beloved father, I have twice written to you to come hither, and you have not complied: I, however, write again, to order that you lay all other considerations aside, and come to me well accompanied for your own security: do not fail to come to me with all possible speed, notwithstanding any other letters you may receive from me to the contrary. We trust that you will instantly obey from the love you bear to us, and from the fear of our displeasure. We have certain causes to desire your company, which affectus in the strongest manner possible. Written with my own hand, this 22d day of December, and signed by himself, 'Louis.' The superscription was the same as the foregoing.' "As a testimony that we have seen and read the above letters, we have affixed the seal of this bailiwick (saving the rights of the king and others) to this copy, which we have faithfully collated with the original, in the presence of Jean Billart, esquire-warden for the king in the provostship of Roye, and of the exempted lands of Charmy, and of the jurisdiction of Roye ; and in the presence of Pierre de la Beane, comptroller of salt in Roye, of Nicholas d'Ardelchanons, of Roye, Jean Pellehaste, master Guillaume de la Garde, master Godefroy Baudun, Brissart, royal notary, on the day and year aforesaid; and thus signed, BRIssart." On the third day, the duke of Burgundy left Roye, and went to Compiegne, where, having prevailed on the principal inhabitants to support his party, he took the road for Senlis, whither he had sent forward the lord de Robaix, to know if the townsmen would admit him. This they positively refused to do, in consequence of the orders from the king, and the duke then took the road by Baron" to Dampmartint, whither the lords of Burgundy had advanced with a powerful force to meet him. News was daily carried to Paris, to the duke of Aquitaine and the other princes of the blood, of the duke of Burgundy's march and approach to the capital. When the last intelligence came, the duke of Aquitaine was dining with a canon in the cloisters of NôtreDame in Paris; and the moment it was known, the king of Sicily, the duke of Orleans, the counts de Vertus, de Richemont, d'Eu, d'Armagnac, with many other great lords, attended by a numerous body of men-at-arms, assembled in the cloisters, where the duke of Aquitaine mounted his horse. This force was divided into three battalions, the van, centre, and rear, —which done, they advanced to the front of the church of Nôtre-Dame, and thence marched to the town-house, where they halted. The van was commanded by three counts, namely, those of Vertus, of Eu, and of Richemont, who rode together in front, followed close by their attendants, and at a little distance by the battalion. In the centre division were the king of Sicily and the dukes of Aquitaine and of Orleans, followed by a very considerable body of men-at-arms. The rear battalion was commanded by the count d'Armagnac, Louis Bourdon and the lord de Gaule, who, like the other commanders, rode all three in front of their men. The whole was estimated at eleven thousand horse. On their coming to the town-house, a trumpet was sounded, when the chancellor of Aquitaine made his appearance, and, by orders of the duke, told the people of Paris, who were following them, that he, the eldest son and heir to the king and kingdom of France, thanked them for their loyalty and affection, which they had now shown to him, and that he hoped they would exert themselves to the utmost of their power to oppose the duke of Burgundy in his wicked projects, who, in defiance of the king's positive commands, and in violation of the peace, had marched an armed force into the heart of the realm; that he affirmed and assured them, that he had never sent for him, nor written to him to come to Paris, notwithstanding he had declared he had received letters from him to the above purport. The chancellor then asked the duke if he would vouch for what he had said, who replied, that he would vouch for it, as he had spoken nothing but the truth. After this had been said, they marched away in the same order as before, to the Place du Croix du Tiroir, where they again halted, when the chancellor from horseback, in front of the duke of Aquitaine, repeated to the numerous populace there assembled what he had before said in the Place de Grève, which speech was again avowed by the duke of Aquitaine, after which he retired to the Louvre. The duke of Orleans went to the priory of St. Martin-des-Champs, the king of Sicily to the bastile of St. Anthony, the count of Armagnac and Louis Bourdon to the hôtel d'Artois, and the others elsewhere. Shortly after, the duke of Berry came from his hôtel de Neelle to visit the duke of Aquitaine in the Louvre, and thence retired to the Temple, where he and his men had their quarters. The different lords went diligently about the streets of Paris to check any tumults that might arise,_and they had all the gates closed excepting those of St. Anthony and of St. James. Notwithstanding they were so numerous in men-at-arms, they were very fearful of the populace rising against them, in favour of the duke of Burgundy, more especially those who lived in the quartier des Halles.
* Esclusieu, a village in Picardy, near Peronne.
* Baron, a town in Picardy, diocese of Sens. + Dammartin, a town in the Isle of France, nine leagues from Paris.
The duke of Burgundy advanced from Dampmartin to St. Denis, which was open to
him, for the inhabitants had fled. He there quartered his whole army, and lodged himself at the hotel of the Sword. His force might consist of full two thousand helmets, knights and esquires, from Artois, Picardy, Flanders, Rethel and Burgundy, with from two to three thousand combatants, archers, cross-bows and armed varlets. He was accompanied by sir John de Luxembourg, with all the vassals of his uncle the count de St. Pol. On the third day after the duke of Burgundy's arrival at St. Denis, he sent his king-at-arms, Artois, to Paris, bearing letters to the king, the queen, the duke of Aquitaine, and the commonalty of the town, in which he requested that they would permit him to wait on them, to explain the cause of his thus coming to St. Denis, which, he said, was only with good intentions, no way to make war, nor to demand redress from any person, but solely in obedience to the commands of the duke of Aquitaine, whom he was bound to serve and obey.
When the king-at-arms arrived at the gates of Paris, he was led to an hotel,-when shortly after, a man came to him, whom he did not know, and told him to make haste to quit the town, or his person would be rudely treated. Perceiving that he should not be heard, nor allowed to deliver his letters, he was mounting his horse, when the count d'Armagnac advanced and said to him, that should he or any others come again to Paris from the duke of Burgundy, he would have their heads cut off. Upon this, he returned to his the lord duke of Burgundy, at St. Denis, and related to him all that had passed, and how rudely he had been dealt with, which so much displeased the duke that he resolved, by the advice of his council, to march thither in person with his whole force. On the morrow morning, therefore, the army was drawn up in the fields in battle-array as if they were about to engage an enemy, and thus marched to the gate of St. Eustache, which was closed; and there they remained in battle-array for a considerable space, which was a handsome sight. The duke again sent his king-at-arms to the gate of St. Honoré, which was also closed, to demand from those stationed over the gate that four of his most confidential knights, who were near at hand to the king-at-arms, might be admitted with him, to explain the causes of his coming, which tended to nothing but a solid peace. He was answered by those above the gate, that if he did not speedily withdraw, they would discharge bolts and arrows at him, adding, that they would have nothing to say to the duke of Burgundy nor to his knights. Upon this, they retired to the army. During this time, Enguerrand de Bournouville, with about four hundred combatants, had dismounted, and, with the standard of the duke, had advanced to the gate of St. Honoré, to see if he could do anything; for they had great hopes that the populace would rise in sufficient force to give them entrance through one of the gates, which, however, did not happen. Enguerrand, nevertheless, said a few words to Bourdon, who was over the gate, but who made him no reply; and, finding nothing was to be done, he retreated to the main body. In his retreat, some cross-bows were discharged at him, and one of his men was wounded, although neither himself nor any of his companions had shown the least offensive intentions, by arrows or otherwise, against those of Paris, for it had been forbidden them by the duke out of respect to the king and the duke of Aquitaine. The duke, seeing the matter hopeless, marched his army back to St. Denis, and caused letters to be written, which, during the night, some of his partisans affixed to the doors of the church of Nôtre Dame, of the palace, and elsewhere in Paris. He sent copies also to the principal towns in France, the tenor of which was as follows. "We John duke of Burgundy, count of Flanders and Artois, palatine of Burgundy, lord of Salines and Mechlin, make known to all, that by virtue of several letters written and signed by the duke of Aquitaine himself, we came toward Paris, to employ ourselves for the welfare of the king, by command of my lord of Aquitaine, and withal to aid and deliver him from the servitude in which he is held at this moment; in which cause we shall cheerfully exert every power and influence which God may have granted to us in this world; and we signify to all the well-wishers of the king and of my lord of Aquitaine, that they shall be set (if we be able) at full liberty to exercise their free will and pleasure, and those who have thus confined them shall be banished, that it may be known to all that we do not come hither on any ambitious schemes to seize the government of the kingdom, and that we have no desire to hurt or destroy the good town of Paris, but are ready to fulfil and maintain every article which we had sworn to observe in the king's edict. We are also willing to return to any of our territories, provided others who have sworn to the same ordinance do so likewise, but they act contrary to it: and we will, that God and all the world know, that until we shall be sensible that my lord the king and my lord of Aquitaine enjoy their full liberty, and that those who now manage public affairs have retired to their several countries, and my said lord the king is provided with honest, able, and notable counsellors and knights, as well as my lord of Aquitaine, we will never desist from our enterprise, nor quit the kingdom of France; for we had much rather die than witness my lord the king and my lord of Aquitaine in such subjection. "We cannot help being astonished that the citizens and loyal subjects of his majesty can be so hard of heart as to suffer him to remain in this disgraceful slavery; and we are the more surprised that, knowing how nearly we are related to him, they have refused to receive either our knights or our herald, or to permit any one from us to present our letters to my lord the king, my lady the queen, my lord of Aquitaine, or to the good town of Paris. And although we came before the walls of Paris without committing any hostile act whatever, by the command aforesaid, in order to treat of matters touching the peace and welfare of the kingdom, our men have been killed and wounded, without listening to any proposals which they might have made. The count d'Armagnac even told our king-at-arms, that if he should return again, his head would be struck off—which is an insult hard to be borne, when we have come hither with our company, paying for all our expenses, as the near relation and neighbour of my lord the king and my lord of Aquitaine, requiring the aid of all good and loyal subjects against those who have kept in servitude and in peril my said lord of Aquitaine, signifying to them, at the same time, that we should, in proper time and place, charge them with treason against their sovereign. Of this you need not doubt, for, by the aid of God and our just cause in this quarrel, we will pursue and maintain it, with the utmost of our powers, and with the assistance of very many of the principal towns in the realm, who have attached themselves to us. "Given at St. Denis, under our privy seal, in the absence of the grand council, the 11th day of February, in the year 1413." When these letters were found posted in several of the public places of Paris, those who were disaffected to the duke of Burgundy had stronger suspicions of his conduct than before; and they took such precautions in the guard of the town that no inconvenience happened. During the time the duke of Burgundy remained at St. Denis, the lord de Croy, who had accompanied him, sent twenty of his most expert and determined men-at-arms, well mounted, to cross the Seine near to Conflans; thence they rode as secretly as they could, with lance in hand, to the town of Montlehery, where they lodged themselves in two inns near to each other, pretending to be of the Orleans party. Sir John de Croy, son to the lord de Croy, was prisoner, as has been before said, in the castle of that town, and had received intimation of their coming by a chaplain who had the care of him. He made a pretence of going to hear mass in the church that was hard by the castle, when these men-atarms, who were ready prepared, and on the watch, mounted their horses, hastened toward sir John, whom they instantly set on a led horse, and thence galloped briskly to Pontoise: they afterward took the road to the ford where they had before crossed the Seine, and made such good haste that they brought sir John safe to his father in St. Denis. This enterprise was highly praised by the duke of Burgundy and the lord de Croy: the principal leaders of it were Lamont de Launoy, Willemont de Meneat, Jenninet de Molliens, Jean Roussel,the whole amounting to the number aforesaid. They were, however, sharply pursued by the garrison of Montlehery, but they could not overtake them by reason of the variety of roads they took. The duke of Burgundy again sent Artois, king-at-arms, to Paris, with letters to the king of Sicily and to the dukes of Orleans and Berry, to notify to them the causes of his coming, and to request that they would suffer him, or at least some of his people, to speak with the king and the duke of Aquitaine; that he was come with good intentions, for he was willing punctually to keep all he had promised and sworn to, provided they on their part would do the same; adding, that they must allow the king and the duke of Aquitaine to rule and govern the kingdom, without keeping them in servitude, more especially the duke of Aquitaine, whom they detained to his great displeasure. But when the king-at-arms came to the gate of St. Anthony, he was told that he would not be admitted, nor any letters received from him, and that if he did not hasten away, they would treat him disrespectfully. On hearing this, he considered for a few minutes, and then placing the letters at the top of a cleft stick which he stuck in the ground, made off as fast as he could to St. Denis, when the duke was more discontented than ever. Perceiving that he could no way succeed in his object, he deliberated with his council whether he should return to his own country, and within a few days retreated to Compiegne by the way he had come. In this town, and in that of Soissons, he left strong garrisons of men-at-arms and archers. He appointed sir Hugh de Launoy governor of Compiegne, with the lords de Saint Ligier and de Forez, Hector

CONSUMER confidence continues to rise, and has now hit a 15-year high.
Healthier household finances are behind the surge in confidence levels.
The KBC Bank/ESRI consumer sentiment index hit a high point in January that has not been seen since 2001.
This rise was despite people having a slightly more cautious view of the country's economic prospects.
The sentiment index rose to 108.6 last month from 103.9 in December, taking it to its strongest level since February 2001, according to the figures released just ahead of the upcoming election.
Economist with KBC Bank Austin Hughes said the rise in confidence was mainly due to domestic developments, as confidence measures in other countries have declined lately.
This was particularly the case in the US and in the rest of the Eurozone.
Mr Hughes said: "Details of the January Irish sentiment survey suggests that Irish consumers were not blind to worries about the health of the global economy.
"However, it appears these were more than offset by growing optimism in relation to their personal finances," he added.

USA: equal rights for same-sex spouses in visa applications
Submitted by Michael Wukoschitz on 7 August, 2013 - 16:28
The U.S. State Department has announced that it will treat visa applications of same-sex spouses in the same way that it treats applications of heterosexual spouses, effective immediately. Under the new rules, any marriage that has been performed in a jurisdiction that recognizes it as legal, will be treated as valid under U.S. immigration laws, and every married couple will be treated the same.
