Movement Control and the Modern Novel
[For a seminar on "Mobilty and Movement Control" at the American Comparative Literature Association Annual Meeting, March 26-29 2015, Seattle, we invite 300-word presentation abstracts by August 22 2014.]
Modernity and modern statehood are inextricably linked to the rise of effective movement control. With the French Revolution and the First World War as the main historical drivers, the gradual introduction of passport regimes brought about a profound reconfiguration of political space: enabling governments to harness administrative resources while also facilitating the rise of the nation-state, these regimes meant that individuals on the move had to deal with unprecedented restrictions on mobility across and often within geopolitical borders. It is no coincidence that the emergence of the modern novel overlaps chronologically with the rise of movement control. The modern politics of movement undoes the nexus of space, mobility, and narrative on which earlier forms of novelistic discourse had typically been based and thereby forces the genre to invent new plot types that align with the new mobility restrictions. Further, if narrative can be defined as the crossing of a semantic border or threshold (as in Jurij Lotman's theory of a narrative event or Peter Brooks's discussion of the demarcating function of plot), it is necessary to consider to what extent geopolitical border control affects narrative structure and the boundary-work of storytelling as such.
We are interested primarily in interfaces between these two formative institutions of modernity: movement control and the novel. As one of society's privileged media of self-reflection, novels can both model existing patterns of movement within geopolitical orders and imagine alternative scenarios of mobility. In particular, we want to pursue how literature variously reflects, responds to and challenges the modern regimes of movement control – through narrative form and the multiple perspectives of migrants, travelers, and other border-crossers. In order to foster a comparative analysis of the intersections of movement control and literature in the European context and beyond, we invite contributions that offer new takes on the history of the novel from the point of view of mobility and movement control.
Possible topics:
- Passport Plots
- Movement Control and Literary Space
- Different Paradigms or Figures of Mobility (Wanderers, Vagrants, Migrants, Travellers, Displaced Persons, Fugitives, etc.)
- Implications of Movement Control for Narrative Theory
- Movement Control and Literary Description/Realism, narrative strategies of response or resistance to movement control (narrative form, but also point of view, distributions of voice, and strategies of attention or affect-binding
- Passports and Identity
- Movement Control and Literary History/the History of the Novel

Had Donna Jones' burns been treated, chances of survival were 'virtually 100 per cent,' expert testifies
OTTAWA — The burns were massive, and they spanned the burn rainbow.
Some were cherry red.
Some, where Donna Jones' skin had been simply cooked through, were black.
Some, on the left shoulder where the injury went into nerve and muscle, showed yellow; that was fat.
There was a greenish tinge to some of the burns that covered her back; this was consistent with pseudomonas, the bacteria growing with trademark sweet stink in the wound.
On her legs were red dots that may have been caused by tiny blood vessels bursting and hemorrhaging as the sepsis, or infection, that ultimately killed her raged.
This was "a massive injury," a "full-thickness" or third-degree burn except for the area on Jones' shoulder where the burn was even worse and fourth-degree: So says Dr. Joel Fish, the distinguished medical director of the burn unit of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
He was testifying as an expert witness at the murder trial of Mark Hutt, Jones' husband, here Tuesday.
Through Fish, the jurors saw pictures of Jones naked on the autopsy table.
The chances, he said, that a person suffering this kind of burn to between 35 and 40 per cent of her body would have not sought medical treatment are near-zero.
"It's unheard-of," he said.
He has studied burn statistics and cases in Ontario for 20 years.
"The amount of pain and disability" caused by a burn like this — at whatever stage, six hours or 12, two days or six — makes it "hard to conceive of anyone not seeking medical attention."
The odds of such a gravely injured person physically fighting off someone who was trying to get her help, Fish said in reply to a question from prosecutor Vikki Bair, are "very low, zero. It's not consistent (with the injury). It's not possible."
Fish's evidence would appear to put the boots to Hutt's version of events, which jurors are expected to see and hear for themselves Thursday, when prosecutors play a lengthy videotaped interview of Hutt by Ottawa Police.
According to what prosecutor Meaghan Cunningham told the jurors in her opening address, Hutt first claimed his wife burned herself after falling into a fire pit at a work conference, then admitted dousing her with boiling water — accidentally, he claimed.
He repeatedly told police he did everything he could to help his wife, and that she fought him, kicking and screaming.
Hutt attempted to plead guilty to the lesser charge of criminal negligence causing death, a plea the prosecutors rejected.
He is pleading not guilty to first-degree murder, a charge sustainable if the jurors find that Jones died in the course of his ongoing criminal harassment of her or due to his criminal confinement of her after the burn.
The 33-year-old was scalded on the evening of Nov. 24, 2009.
Hutt reported her dead in a 911 call on the morning of Dec. 6.
Jurors this week heard the call in which Hutt appeared to have been following instructions on how to do chest compressions and "rescue breathing" — a picture contradicted by paramedic Logan Martin, who testified he "couldn't even pry her teeth apart" so fully had rigor mortis set in.
Over the course of her four-year relationship with Hutt, but particularly during their two-year marriage, Jones changed so dramatically as to be unrecognizable.
Once gregarious and the heart of a large circle of friends, she withdrew from activities that didn't involve Hutt.
As she began showing up with increasingly serious injuries and decreasingly credible explanations for them, friends and co-workers organized a formal intervention shortly before her wedding. They hoped to persuade her to call off the nuptials; she refused.
Days before she died, her colleagues at the small unit of the Canadian Food Inspection Agency where Jones worked called the police to make a third-party report of suspected domestic violence. They were planning to confront her and offer help when she returned to work.
Jones never did.
Over the 11 days it took her to die, she kept up to the bitter end the charade she had constructed.
In seven phone calls made to her mother, Irena, after she had been scalded and would have been in what Fish called exquisite pain, long after her kidneys would have shut down and probably her bowels, Jones pretended she was at work and was absolutely "swamped," detailed non-existent dinners and social outings, complained of nothing more than a cold and bragged about Hutt's tender loving care of her.
"Mark's been making good meals," she told her mother at one point. "Mark's going to drive me" to a work conference, she said at another. "I've got my Mark here," she said in a Dec. 2 chat. "And he's gonna take care of me."
In fact, as the jurors know and now have seen, at the time of her death, there was barely an inch of Jones that hadn't been injured one way or another.
In addition to the monstrous burns, she had two black eyes and a broken nose. Her face was dreadfully swollen. She had nine rib fractures, seven old and two recent. She had two old wrist fractures and a fracture to a finger that had healed with a deformity. Fresh bruises decorated her head.
Despite the severity of the injuries, Fish said that had Jones received prompt treatment in a burn unit — it would have involved massive doses of morphine, time on a respirator, massive amounts of fluids, multiple surgeries and skin grafts — the chances of her surviving were "virtually 100 per cent."
Fish's evidence was straightforward, yet kind, and amounted to a mini-tutorial of the sort he said he gives the families of his patients.
One of the curiosities about burns, he told the jurors, is that they take a few days to "declare," to fully reveal themselves. Until then, it may be hard even for the seasoned practitioner to know how bad they are. By the third day, he said, he can usually tell what he's dealing with; sometimes, it takes five days.
But burns always declare, he said. If only the same could be said of the human beings who suffer them.

Chartering a bareboat yacht is arguably the easiest way to discover the Whitsundays group of islands.

By the point Evans obtained his tire fastened and was back on the highway, Bradley Wiggins and the other top contenders in the Tour were well on their manner down the mountain.

Jack Phillips owns and operates Masterpiece Cakeshop in the Denver suburb of Lakewood. In 2012, two gay men, Charlie Craig and David Mullins entered his bakery and asked if Phillips would make them a wedding cake to celebrate their same-sex marriage. According to an attorney with the Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF):
"In an exchange lasting about 30 seconds, Phillips politely declined, explaining that he would gladly make them any other type of baked item they wanted but that he could not make a cake promoting a same-sex ceremony because of his faith."
In the typical anti-tolerant world of homosexuals, the two men filed a lawsuit against Phillips for sexual discrimination. The gay couple could easily have said that they understood and then find another bakery that would accommodate their request, but gays can't tolerate the concept that other people find their way of life to be offensive and against their religious beliefs. It also didn't matter to the gay couple that Colorado does not recognize same-sex marriages performed in other states as legal marriages.
The Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruled against Phillips and not only ordered him to make wedding cakes for homosexuals regardless of his religious beliefs, but that he and his staff must also undergo two years of state approved re-education to endorse all views. Note that the Christians are to endorse all views but no one else is required to endorse the views of Christians.
Gary DeMar pointed out in May that this amounts to slavery in that Phillips and his staff are being forced to submit to a dominating authority against their will. DeMar asked some very poignant questions involved with the order of the Civil Rights Commission:
"What if a panel of Nazis ordered a Jewish tailor to make patches for Jews to wear that identified them as Jews?"
"What if a government commission ordered a black printer to print signs for a KKK rally?"
"What if a government commission compelled a catering service owned by homosexuals to supply food and beverages for an anti-homosexual conference?"
With the help of the Alliance Defending Freedom legal staff, Phillips is appealing the orders of the Colorado Civil Rights Commission to the Colorado Court of Appeals. ADF attorney Nicole Martin explained:
"Americans should not be forced by the government – or by another citizen – to endorse or promote ideas with which they disagree."
"This is not about the people who asked for a cake; it's about the message the cake communicates. Just as Jack doesn't create baked works of art for other events with which he disagrees, he doesn't create cake art for same-sex ceremonies regardless of who walks in the door to place the order."
Jeremy Tedesco, ADF Senior Legal Counsel added:
"In America, we don't force artists to create expression that is contrary to their convictions. A paint artist who identifies as homosexual shouldn't be intimidated into creating a painting that celebrates one-man, one-woman marriage. A pro-life photographer shouldn't be forced to work a pro-abortion rally. And Christian cake artists shouldn't be punished for declining to participate in a same-sex ceremony or promote its message."
"Jack, and other cake artists like him – such as those seen on TV shows like 'Ace of Cakes' and 'Cake Boss' – prepare unique creations that are inherently expressive. Jack invests many hours in the wedding cake creative process, which includes meeting the clients, designing and sketching the cake, and then baking, sculpting, and decorating it. The ACLU [which is representing the homosexual duo] calls Jack a mere 'retail service provider,' but, in fact, he is an artist who uses his talents and abilities to create expression that the First Amendment fully protects."
The appeal is arguing that the Civil Rights Commission incorrectly sided with the wrong ruling made by a state administrative law judge. They argue that Phillips 'acted in accordance with the provisions' of the public policies and laws of the state of Colorado, saying they are:
"Protected by the Free Speech Clause of the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and by Article II, Section 10 of the Colorado Constitution from being forced to use their artistic talents to design and create expression they disagree with, here in the form of a wedding cake celebrating a same-sex union."
ADF attorney's previously filed paperwork claiming that Colorado's 'government seeks to impose a new belief system upon Jack [Phillips], one that is fundamentally at odds with his conscience and his liberty.'
Have you ever watched a science fiction movie where the people are brainwashed by some governmental scientists into becoming programmed into thinking the way the government wants them to think? The court ordered re-education of Phillips and his employees for the sole purpose to have them endorse homosexuality reminds me of those sci-fi movies.
How many more Christians will be ordered into re-education to force them to not only accept homosexuality and same-sex marriage, but to actually endorse it? Will we be ordered into gay re-education for simply speaking out against homosexuality, Islam or Barack Obama?

Northwestern came from behind for a stunning 34-31 victory over Nebraska on Saturday at Ryan Field.
Nebraska had leads of 28-14 and 31-21 in the fourth quarter, but Northwestern rallied late in regulation to force overtime and win its first home game in four attempts this season.
"All we can do is put our head down and keep getting better and that's what we've done and that's what we'll continue to do," Scott Frost said on Monday.
Video: Jayson Jorgensen talks with Sean Callahan about the loss to Northwestern and about the upcoming match-up with Minnesota.
Up Next: The Huskers will host Minnesota this Saturday with kickoff set for 2:30pm central time in Lincoln. The game can be heard on Rural Radio Network stations via the IMG Huskers Sports Network.

Mark Your Calendars: End of the World and Binary Armageddon
Johannes Ullrich of SANS has collected some recent and upcoming catastrophe dates.
There was Dec. 31st 1999, 23:59:59 GMT, the big one that didn't bang.
There will be Jan. 10th, 2010, 10:10:00 GMT, now known as "Binary Armageddon Day." All those 10s in the date render as 1010011010, which is binary for 666hence, the beast will rise from the pit. See Gadi Evron's Facebook page for this event.
There will be Dec. 21, 2012. This date is the end of the Mayan calendar, As Ullrich notes, "Should not affect software (other then the fact that the world will end that day)." A movie titled 2012 will be coming out in November to dramaticise this particular end of the world.
There will be Feb. 7th 2036, 6:28:16 GMT, the last second supported by the ntp protocol, used to synchronize clocks on the Internet. The time in this protocol is expressed as a 64-bit value, half of which are the number of seconds since January 1, 1900, and the other half fractional seconds. We have some time to deal with this.
There will be Jan. 19th 2038, 03:14:07 GMT, the outer range of the 32-bit time_t variable in UNIX, which is used to measure time. There has been some movement to a 64-bit time_t, but as Ullrich points out, this can already be a problem; consider a bank issuing 30 year mortgages.
And finally, the new big one, Dec. 31st 9999, 23:59:59 GMT. This will be the end of 4 digit years. Fortunately we do have some time to work on this, so I plan to start consulting on the Y10K problem.

Derroura MTB Trail was officially opened in April 2009.Of all the Coillte MTB Trails, Derroura is the most natural and has the most variable terrain. Natural granite single tracks wind through Derroura, one of the few forests in Connemara. View Elevation Graph
After the first climb which lasts about 5 minutes, you descend gently onto a wooden bridge over a stream and then climb your way out of it past a thatch cottage. As you progress up to the summit the ground changes into rugged stoney ground . At the top, a clear day will give you fabulous views of Lough Corrib.
Parts of the trail are technical, steep and rocky and you need to know how to handle a bike over all kinds of terrain including exposed rock slabs, boulders, mud, roots, loose gravel and even elevated timber boardwalks.The Waymarked Loop includes long climbs and decents over a wide variety of sometimes difficult terrain on trails that are only suitable for mountain bikes i.e. bikes with 26 inch wheels, knobbly tyres and flat handlebars.
The thrill goes on as you begin your descent back to the car park. There is literally hundreds of meters of north shore on your way back down. The boards wind through the reeds of the Connemara bog for ages and for hardtail users they are a welcome relief from the pounding of the stones and gravel. The occasional broken board also adds to the enjoyment of this trail.
Derroura MTB trail is just one of the four purpose built trails by Coillte with others situated in Ballyhoura, Portumna and Ballinastoe. Once you have ridden the trails through Derroura we are sure it will fast become one of your favourites as it is ours and will be back for more.

LILLE France (Reuters) - A record crowd of 27,432 people took their seats at the Pierre Mauroy stadium for the Davis Cup final between France and Switzerland on Friday.
The French tennis federation (FFT) and the International tennis federation (ITF) said the previous record for a sanctioned tennis match had been set in Seville in 2004 for the Davis Cup final between Spain and the United States.
The FFT said it expected the stadium to be at full capacity again for Saturday's doubles and Sunday's reverse singles.
The Pierre Mauroy stadium usually hosts Ligue 1 club Lille's games with a maximum capacity of just over 50,000 in soccer configuration.
The roof has been closed for the Davis Cup final.

text: How we help Care services Spiritual support Patients and those they are close to can find themselves with questions at the end of life. Often these are about meaning and purpose, or they may be about 'why?' Our vision and ambition for spiritual support at the hospice is that it responds to, although not necessarily answers, these questions. We believe that an individual's spirituality is discovered and supported by attention to their life story, a story told as the individual chooses, and a story encouraged by open questioning and generous listening. We see spiritual support as distinct from, although inclusive of, religious support. Our aim is for spiritual support to become 'everybody's business'; part of the normal practice of all staff and volunteers, who will strive to be open to conversations, whatever it is you may want to share or reflect on. Our hospice Spiritual Support Lead, David Knight, can be contacted on 01323 434244 or via email at [email protected]. He works alongside a team of Spiritual Support Volunteers. Should you so wish we can also organise for you to meet a religious leader of your faith. A space for reflection - our Retreat The Retreat, situated just off our central Street area, and its accompanying garden are open to all, 24 hours a day. We invite you to make use of this quiet, tranquil space to reflect, gather your thoughts, sit in silence or talk with your family, friends or someone from our Spiritual Support team. The Retreat has a book of memories which you are welcome to add thoughts and, if your wish, prayers to. Just outside, there is our Memory Tree.

On Tuesday's broadcast of "CNN Newsroom," CNN Political Commentator and former Obama adviser Van Jones stated that Democratic presidential nominee former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's email conduct is "two strikes" against her, and Clinton "made a serious set of mistakes here," which are "not going to go away."
Jones said, "I think for Democrats, as proud as we are of Hillary Clinton and what she's been able to do, and frankly, her command over every issue is so extraordinary, this is just a source of continued heartburn and rug burn for this campaign. And the reality is that, she has apologized again and again for the judgment, but it was bad judgment, and we're now having to pay a cost in the campaign. I'd say it's a strike against Hillary Clinton that she chose to use that email server. It's a strike against her that she's handled it in this weird way going forward. So, that's two strikes against her."
He continued, "The reality is that Donald Trump, unfortunately, strikes out every day, multiple times, day after day, week after week. And so, you're dealing with two candidates that have made some mistakes. Donald Trump has never apologized for one of his. Hillary Clinton's made a serious set of mistakes here, she's at least apologized. I wish this could go away. It's not going to go away. Congress will probably investigate. We're going to keep talking about this. And I — nobody probably regrets it more than Hillary Clinton that she chose the server, but dadgum, I wish she hadn't."

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (15:37:44): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before addressing a question to the Minister for Correctional Services on the topic of Indigenous incarceration rates.
Leave granted.
The Hon. T.A. FRANKS: As members are well aware, today is the annual Close the Gap Day and the report, as launched by the Prime Minister today in federal parliament, has results that can only best be described as mixed and disappointing. One area, of course, where we are not seeing any marked improvement relates to the incarceration rates of Aboriginal Australians. Indigenous Australians represent 3 per cent of the Australian population, yet 27 per cent of the prison population of our nation. Alarmingly, the representation of Aboriginal female prisoners is on the rise, up 74 per cent over the past 15 years, with Aboriginal women making up one-third of the total female prison population. My questions to the minister are:
1.What is the government doing to actively address this issue?
2.What priority will you give to this serious issue?
The Hon. P. MALINAUSKAS (Minister for Police, Minister for Correctional Services, Minister for Emergency Services, Minister for Road Safety) (15:38:53): I thank the honourable member for her question on what is this important day with the release of the Closing the Gap report. One of the statistics that jumped out at me when I was receiving my incoming brief as the Minister for Correctional Services was the drastic overrepresentation of Aboriginals within the South Australian prison population. I am advised that, at 30 June last year, Aboriginal prisoners, both male and female, made up 22.26 per cent of the prison population in South Australia. Of course, when you compare that to the last census statistic of the Aboriginal population making up apparently about 2.3 per cent of the Australian population, one is horrified at the extraordinary overrepresentation of Aboriginals within custody in South Australia.
The honourable member also rightly points out that this over-representation is amplified amongst the female population of women's prisons within South Australia. Approximately 30 per cent, I am advised, of the women's prison population in South Australia are Aboriginal, and amongst the broader community correctional population it is approximately 22 per cent. These statistics are way too high. Over-representation amongst the Aboriginal population in the prison population across the country is way too high and, as I said, a statistic that jumped off the page at me when I received my incoming brief.
It is a problem that this government has been conscious of for a period of time that goes well before, obviously, myself becoming a minister. Late last year, the Hon. Gail Gago and the former minister for correctional services launched the Department for Correctional Services women offender framework, an action plan to specifically target women offending, with the objective of trying to reduce women offending and, in turn, reduce the female population of prisoners throughout South Australia. Although that is not necessarily specifically tasked with looking at Aboriginal incarceration rates, it does look at women offending as a whole and trying to reduce that as best as we possibly can.
To address the issue more broadly, I will be meeting with Department for Correctional Services in light of these statistics that I have drawn to the council's attention to see what more can be done in this particular area and as more initiatives come to light I will certainly be happy to share them with the Hon. Tammy Franks. Furthermore, if she would like to take up the opportunity to meet with me and the department and then we can go through some of those issues that she might have a particular passion for, I would be more than happy to facilitate that.

Kelly Clarkson – Move You
Kelly Clarkson unveiled two new songs, "Love So Soft" and "Move You," from her forthcoming album, Meaning of Life, out October 27th.
"Move You," meanwhile, is a soulful ballad with a powerful drum-string combination. Clarkson carries the song to a rapturous peak before descending gracefully. "Like the first time that I met you, I fell so hard, so fast," Clarkson sings over guitar. "Like the montage in a movie/ The way you move me/ I want to move you like that."

So this is what relief looks like to me. A tasty brew after completing my last test. I'm officially graduating on Wednesday as a certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. Heads up, there will be another post when it's official ;)
Lots of FABULOUS stuff happening in my life these days. Yesterday, I taught my first essential oils class which was very fun and exciting and only slightly scary. Had an amazing support group of amazing women there with me. Did I mention they were amazing? Look forward to many more classes to share the healing benefits of essential oils (I don't have any planned yet though, so stay tuned!). Today, I took my last test for school. I did, well, not so great. However, I PASSED!!! And that's all I needed. Wednesday, graduation commences. It's an online program, so the only walking will be around my house in a gown of leggings and a hoodie. And then most likely followed by another beer, or 3. Yay! Pretty bad ass week if I say so myself. So much more fabulousness to come. I can feel it. And it feels pretty fucking good.
For the past couple of weeks, I've been very focused, and a bit stressed, about the oils class and my last test. They are both done, and it's time to celebrate! Hence the beer in the middle of the afternoon on a Monday. Party animal here.
Feel free to drink one for me too … I'll feel your celebratory vibes. And I'll send you mine. Spiritual partying! Yay!

French Drain in Edmond Oklahoma, Drainage Contractor
Angie's List Customer Service Award Winner Activerain Member
Recently CMG installed a large 6 inch French Drain in Edmond. The customer had water running under his back porch step and into his basement. We did a Free Drainage Diagnostic and Estimate. The French Drain design that we proposed would intercept the surface water and subsurface water that was flowing under the steps. The French Drain design called for a 6 inch French Drain to be installed above and several feet away from the steps. It would run around the house parallel to the foundation and about 5 feet to the East. The French Drain would run past the steps to a point where water must cross the French Drain or run up hill to the steps which in this case was not possible. Once past the steps, the French Drain would transition to Solid 6 inch Drain Pipe and continue on around the house to the Pop-Up Emitter down hill in the side yard. Along the way we attached several Gutter Down Spouts into the French Drain.

Peter Hoffman, who launched locavorism at New York's Savoy 20 years ago, served this black pepper shortcake with summer fruits and honey lavender ice cream at his midsummer Beard House dinner. The dessert was made with ingredients that Hoffman and Savoy alums handpicked from the Union Square Greenmarket that day. See more photos here.

The deep blues of "Soup Bone" and "One Turnip Green" merge with the hard-driven funk of "Soul Manifesto" and "Mobius 3" to instill variety. Blythe's feature on Mal Waldron's "Soul Eyes" adds a refreshing ballad dreamscape to the session. Parker and Blythe take turns soloing on the spirited "Soul Makossa" with lively interpretations. The session hinges on "Groove Bone," in two movements. Idris Muhammad's up-tempo back beat flies below several tricky rhythms that belie dancing feet. Organ and horns take brief solo breaks, and Jones' guitar moves in and out of the rhythmic backdrop. While the piece does become tedious and repetitious, Jones has succeeded in capturing the feeling that comes through this music. It's one of his best albums to date.
Track Listing: Groove Bone, part 1; Soul Makossa; Wake Up Call (interlude); Soul Manifesto; Roll Call (interlude); One Turnip Green; Ain't No Sunshine; Mobius 3; Soup Bone; Soul Eyes; Groove Bone, part 2; Last Call (interlude).
Personnel: Rodney Jones- guitar; Maceo Parker, Arthur Blythe- alto saxophone; Dr. Lonnie Smith- Hammond B-3 organ; Lonnie Plaxico- electric bass; Idris Muhammad- drums.
Title: Soul Manifesto | Year Released: 2001 | Record Label: Blue Note Records

Skyrim is NOT compatible with Windows 8.1. In order to get it to run correctly, you need to run it in Windows 7 or Windows 8 compatibility mode. It launches in windowed mode, but it works.
You can also make sure your video drivers are up-to-date. I updated my Intel HD Graphics 4000 driver (the default that Skyrim goes to), but I still get a blinking screen.

So I had started out with the intention of writing a clever, pithy and indicting rant about the evils of Black Friday and how it's criminal that it's overshadowing Thanksgiving and how I'm frustrated and disappointed that I tried, yet failed, to make my daughter see that going out shopping with her friends tonight was contributing to the unraveling of civil society.
I believe all those things. But I'm not going to do that. Instead, I'm going to relate here, to the best of my memory, the story that my husband told as a grace before dinner today. We had 15 for dinner, and another seven for dessert, which was approximately double the number we had originally expected. These things happen. My in-laws were supposed to go to Florida early this year, but that trip didn't work out as planned, and my daughter's boyfriend's family is going through a nasty divorce. We invited his mom and brother to join us for dinner. So it was a wonderful mixed table with my parents, his parents. life-long friends, their parents, and daughter and son in law, Daisy Mae's boyfriend's family, and entirely too much food.
When S got up to say grace, I held my breath. This is the third Thanksgiving we have celebrated without Kiersten, and I was a bit worried that there might be too much emotion. Instead, he gave us a life lesson by way of a history lessen. I'd like to share it with you, because it's been in my head all day.
"I want to tell you a story of the first Thanksgiving. In 1620, two ships set out from Southampton England: the Speedwell, which had originally set out from Leiden, in the Netherlands, and the Mayflower, which we all know. The Speedwell sustained damage early in the trip and had to turn back, leaving the Mayflower to carry all 102 passengers to the new world.
They sailed 65 days, and then took another full month to find an appropriate place to land. The place they found had been abandoned three years earlier because the tribe of native Americans who had occupied the land had perished from smallpox.
The first winter was terribly hard and by spring, only 43 of the original 102 remained.
In the spring, the Pilgrims were greeted by Samoset, the chief of a nearby tribe, who spoke a bit of English. He, in turn, introduced the Pilgrims to Squanto, who spoke their language and who taught them to live in their new land. Even with Squanto's help, however, the Pilgrims had a very meager harvest that first year. But the local chiefs, Samoset and Massasoit, and the rest of the Abenaki people showed the Pilgrims friendship and together they learned to get along, and that first Autumn, Massasoit brought ninety of his tribe to the Pilgrim village at Plymouth, loaded with food that would not only make a feast for them all, but would help sustain the Pilgrims through the winter.
Now, there is nothing you haven't heard before in that story; we all grew up with it. But consider this: Here were two groups of people who had no obligation to show each other friendship. Squanto, in fact, learned English because he had been kidnapped and taken to Portugal as a slave years earlier. He had every reason to distrust these new strangers. Likewise the other natives: they didn't share blood, or religion, or culture, yet these people came together and made a family of sorts. And they gave thanks for that friendship and for what resources they could share.
As I look out at this table, I see a family. Not all of us are related by blood -- few of us are, really. But I see much loved people who have come together to give thanks -- real thanks --for what we share. So I say thank you. Thank you for the absolutely bountiful meal we have in front of us. Thank you for the beautiful family I see gathered here. Thank you for the beloved friends and family who have been here in the past and will perhaps be here again in the future. Thank you for the souls who cannot share our table here on Earth any longer. You live on in our hearts, and we love and miss you daily.
But mostly, thank you for the lesson that the first Thanksgiving can still teach us: to be kinder than is necessary, to try loving each other first, last and always, to give thanks each and every day for what we have, and to make the most of every loving minute we share."
There wasn't a dry eye in the house.
I'm proud of you, honey. Happy Thanksgiving.

{Robert Bailey – Roane County Historian}
Meriwether Lewis and William Clark's expedition from St. Louis to the Pacific Ocean and back had a Roane County connection. In the fall of 1803, four soldiers from Fort Southwest Point were recruited to travel with them on their trek which took two years to complete. Three of them were from Captain John Campbell's 2nd Infantry, those being Privates Hugh Hall, Thomas Proctor Howard, and Corporal Richard Warfington (Worthington, Worbington, etc.). Hall was originally from Pennsylvania. Howard was from Massachusetts, and Warfington was from North Carolina. Private John Potts (who was born in Germany) was recruited from Capt. Purdey's Company. Warfington was the only corporal in the group going on this expedition. He became well respected by the captains in the group. However, Hugh Hall stole from his comrades and received fifty lashes as punishment. Clark noted that Hall drank and was one of the most adventuresome of the party.

A Look at Case-Shiller by Metro Area
Home prices extended a winning streak of year-over-year gains, posting the strongest jump since 2006, according to the S&P/Case-Shiller indexes.
The composite 20-city home price index, a key gauge of U.S. home prices, was up 13.3% in September from a year earlier. All 20 cities have posted year-over-year gains for nine straight months.
Prices in the 20-city index were 0.7% higher than the prior month. Adjusted for seasonal variations, which reflect a traditional stronger spring and summer selling season, prices were 1% higher month-over-month. Only Charlotte posted a monthly decline, though on a seasonally adjusted basis priced no city saw a drop.

Why Partnerships?
In an effort to better reach our community and engage the mission of Jesus Christ, Davis Boulevard Baptist Church has chosen four primary ministries to embrace and partner with. In aiding these ministries, our church becomes one of many throughout Dallas-Fort Worth who are pooling our resources together to address specific needs within our area.
Our Impact
Through our partnership with Northeast Emergency Distribution (N.E.E.D.), we are able to assist low income families with food and clothing. Our partnership with CEF: Child Evangelism Fellowship gives us the opportunity to lead Good News Clubs and connects us with children at the Academy of Carrie Francis Thomas. Meanwhile, our volunteers are assisting the Mid Cities Pregnancy Center as they intervene in crisis pregnancies throughout our area. As we meet physical and emotional needs through these partnerships, the doors are being opened for us to introduce others to their loving Savior and Lord.

How I would design a forms workflow system for google wave
A forms workflow engine needs a number of components in order to operate correctly. In particular:
- A way of specifying relationships between people. The Manager-Employee relationship is probably the most important here, but there are others too (like whom is in the HR department).
- A way of specifying what information is needed in the form. What fields, how they are validated, that sort of thing. Calculated fields would be important here.
- A way of specifying the workflow for the form, and working out which relationships to use and which form to use in that workflow.
- A way for a participant in a group to select which form he wants to fill in. A particular person may be engaged in multiple organisations, so having a single form library to choose from isn't enough
All of this could be managed in Google Wave, but it would not be trivial. If set up correctly, it could work quite smoothly however. First, we need a bot that performs multiple functions, or multiple bots that co-operate to provide the functions listed above. I think it would be more understandable for users to just have one bot, so lets use that model. For the purposes of this discussion, I'll call it FormBot.
Next, we need a way of creating the models that are specified above. An operator would create a wave, tag it with its function (so that the bot can tell what purpose the wave serves) and then adds FormBot to the wave. FormBot adds a gadget to the wave which allows the operator to edit the data.
For the relationship diagram, the gadget/bot combo would be able to work out which users they were dealing with by looking at the participants of the wave. This effectively becomes your personnel database, in lieu of having it hooked up to an LDAP server. The gadget would then allow the operator to drop people into relationships. The robot would detect any changes, and then suck up the information into its own database (this bit is quite important, as it is how the bot, when processing an instance of a form, will be able to find the information in needs).
The Form & Workflow models are linked together in a one-one relationship, so they can be added on another wave, this time tagged with workflowmodel. There would be a couple of gadgets to allow the models to be edited, which are then sucked into the database again.
So finally, how does the bot process an instance of a workflow form? A user would have an extension installed on his client which adds an entry to the "new wave" menu which would say "New Form". This would create a new wave and add FormBot. FormBot would check its database to see what Form Waves it has which are linked to relationship models with the user as a participant. It would then present these as a list to the user to allow him to choose which form he wanted to fill in. The Bot would then create the form and allow the user to edit it and progress through the workflow.
In summary, what we've done here is create a couple of setting waves that the bot uses to configure the application, and to allow it to provide different form libraries to different groups of people. I think its quite elegant and would work really well. There'd be a lot of work to get it implemented though. The gadgets to allow the editing of the models would be the key bit. I'd love to do it but I doubt I'll find enough time to do it myself. I did create a proof of technology some time ago, but it wasn't configurable, nor did it hook up to a proper user database.

When it comes to passive income, hard assets like shipping containers are considered as the most safest and profitable source from over 60 years. Davenport laroche is a best firm which is here to help investors to run successful and smooth investments. They are responsible and do their job from sourcing the shipping containers to offering them for leasing to the investors. They will also be there with the investors when it comes to returning their income monthly. They play a major role in simplifying the entire process of investment for investors all over the world.
Davenport laroche and High returns:
When we consider the return on investment in Davenport laroche we must understand that this depends on the chosen leasing plan. There are two types of lesasing plan. One is conservative leasing strategy and the other is higher income leasing strategy. It is suggested to learn more about the davenport laroche scam.
Conservative Leasing Strategy:
- In this case investors can expect a return of 12 percent every year
- In this strategy the return is fixed and reliable
- Since the rate of return is fixed, investors are assured with the same income on monthly basis
Higher Income Leasing Strategy:
- This variable strategy does not work on fixed returns
- But usually this has gained significantly more returns compared to conservative lease strategy
- This will be based on the short term leases
- Here one can have secured higher rates of rentals
- Based on the demand the income will vary
- Commonly this outperforms the fixed strategy. Especially in recent years, investors have gained very high returns.
But one must understand that if they have 5 containers then they will definitely receive income on monthly basis. In case of less than 5 containers the investors are given income on quarterly basis.
This firm has great history and track record when it comes to maximizing the profits. This is because they rent the available containers to companies which are world's biggest giants.
In this process the investors will lease their containers to Davenport laroche. Davenport laroche rents them to biggest companies. The rent paid will directly receive by the bank account of the investors. There will be fixed entry level cost for the investors which will be the minimum amount which they can start with. The risk here is low since over 90 percent of the goods all over the world are shipped using containers.

Parabolic Microphones
The parabolic microphones are the kind of microphones that use a parabolic reflector which is
The parabolic microphones use the reflector so that they can collect and focus the sound waves into a microphone receiver. This type of mic is generally used in activities that include nature recording, eavesdropping, law enforcement, and even espionage.
Special features of tha parabolic mic
Parabolic microphones are not usually used for standard applications. They are not recommended in such cases because they are engineered in such a way that they supply with poor low-frequency response. This can be considered as a side effect of these microphones' design. This problem occurs as a direct result of the physical laws that govern sound waves.
The parabolic microphones are able to focus only those waves whose wavelength is considerably smaller than the diameter of the parabola. It is well known that the sound waves travel in the atmosphere with a speed of 300 m/s (the actual speed of sound). In order to get hi-fidelity sound, which goes down to 20 Hz (the lowest limit that the human ear can support), one needs a parabola that has a bigger diameter than 15 meters in diameter. The majority of the parabolic microphones are not engineered to give an excellent fidelity but to get a more operating size.

Alleged jewel thief held on $500K bond
A New York City man is facing multiple charges in connection with a 2011 robbery of David Harvey Jewelers, 995 Post Road, Darien.
Richard Garrison, 33, of 17-19 West 107th St. Manhattan, N.Y., was arrested Aug. 21 on charges of one count each of second-degree robbery and first-degree larceny, according to police.
At 11 a.m. June 28, 2011, three masked men entered the jewelry store and smashed several display cases with sledgehammers, according to police. They stole numerous high-end watches, with a total value of more than $422,000, police said.
Within two minutes, they left the store and fled toward New York in a stolen Toyota Corolla, according to police. New York City police located the car in the Bronx on July 9 and Darien detectives brought it back to Darien.
While processing the vehicle, detectives located two pairs of work gloves that were similar to those the thieves wore during the robbery, police said. Police also located a "Black Toy Watch" wristwatch, a separate watch price tag that was unique to David Harvey Jewelers and shattered glass that matched that at the jewelry store, according the report.
Both pairs of gloves were sent to the State of Connecticut forensic lab for testing and analysis. On March 3, Darien police learned that DNA found in the gloves matched Garrison via the National Offender DNA Database, police said.
Police said Garrison has an extensive criminal history including robbery, assault and burglary. An arrest warrant was secured for Garrison, police said, but at that time his whereabouts were unknown.
On Aug. 8, the New York City police told Darien police that they located Garrison and would keep him in custody until Darien was able to extradite him, police said. Garrison was turned over to Darien police on Thursday, Aug. 21.
Garrison is being held in lieu of $500,000 bond and is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 22.
Police provided no additional information regarding the two other men involved in the burglary.

Imagine having to contend with a force that can kill a target 3700 miles away in a little over half an hour. The United States Pentagon has test fired a new weapon which can travel at five times the speed of sound and reach a target with an accuracy of 10 meters in less than an hour.
During the same time as this weapon was being tested, the Federal Reserve secretly committed to $16 trillion to a long list of the world's largest financial institutions, many based in other countries. When you have the guns to support your point of view and you can print money without accountability – you have a powerful combination. Welcome to the United States of America.
Don't misconstrue my patriotism. I believe the precepts of representative democracy combined with shared capitalism makes the most sense for organizing a civil society. But what country is going to challenge our point of view? If we really decide to skip paying the Chinese, what happens?
In order to maintain this myth of hegemony, we need to keep making weapons to support our need to print more money. That's great if you are a weapons contractor or a small machine shop that makes pins for the M-16. It's also great if you are a recipient of some of the magic money being printed by Uncle Sam. But what about the rest of us – the 99%? The fact is, this is not a sustainable approach for the common good.
The United States is the largest global economy when measured by GDP at $14 trillion with China a close second at $10 trillion. In third position: Around $4 trillion for a whole host of other countries.
Further, the United States accounts for 43 percent of all global military expenditure and is the largest consumer of oil on the planet. Our military is one of the largest oil consumers within the U.S. at 340,000 barrels per day or 1.5 percent of all oil used, costing approximately $13.6 billion annually.
This combination of forces – increased military spending to support our dollar, competition over oil, secret money printing, supporting a huge consuming economy, interest on our debt, entitlements and the threat of a trade and military war with China – puts us on a precarious path.
On the other hand, we (myself, Telma Sullivan and Erik Thompson) are compiling the most comprehensive report on the business case for sustainability and will continue to offer alternatives to the military/industrial complex created casually to benefit a few rich men.
Reason and sustainability must prevail and it will take a coordinated effort – by all of us.
