I could write a page about how pleased I am with all aspects of the job, but I decided to say that if this efficiency, quality, professionalism and pricing is maintained then Iain and this company are destined for a great, great future.
Wyn, Khandallah
Amazing people, they went above and beyond. They were so helpful, really lovely and made everything easy. Their work was very professional, and they were very quick. I am very appreciative.
Sarah, Paraparaumu
Communication, as ever, is a significant part of any job. I received timely, professional advice that enhanced my upgraded lighting (additional job) and actually saved work and expenditure. All work carried out to a high standard, neat, tidy, minimum of fuss. – in short professional – I have booked Green Van for more work.
Colin, Hutt Valley
I was incredibly impressed with Green Van. They went the extra mile and were ultra-professional. They didn't just do the electrical work but went further, changing some existing lights to give us a better feel. With the extractor fans they did stuff on their own initiative which was so helpful such as timers to keep them on for seven minutes after you turn the switch off.
I'd definitely use them again for any electrical work, and highly recommend them.
David, Wellington
Very satisfied with this work by Green Van Electrical. The quote was not the cheapest but we had much more confidence that Green Van would do a good job, compared with the others who quoted. We were right. They did the work promptly and to a high standard, with accurate description and communication. Thanks.
Stephen, Wellington
I don't hesitate from recommending this tradesman very professional from his quote thru to his completion of the work. He also did a job replacing a security light for our Body Corp. which he did efficiently.
Ron, Wellington
Iain did a great job installing my new light. He was flexible with his timing, courteous whilst on the job and cleaned up when he had finished. He also came back to double check something that I was unsure which I really appreciated. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to get electrical work done.
Annemaree, Porirua
Iain was very helpful and checked some extra wiring for us, he was very professional got on with the work and left the place tidy and with all lights working. I would use him again if we need any more electrical work done. Thanks.
Juliane, Wellington
Sustainability trust recommended Green Van to me. Ian did a great job. Very cheery – no complaints despite the 80 steps to our house and having to install some wiring under the house in a limited space. Fast and high-quality worker. Would definitely recommend.
Karen, Wellington
Great work by Iain and the team. Pragmatic and came up with creative solutions to keep the cost down.
David, Wellington
Awesome service and advice, super fast and will always use again. Fixed and replaced broken lights, fitted security light, and replaced power outlets.

New Delhi [India], October 29 (ANI): Who doesn't want to find the perfect spot for Instagram worthy photographs? From planning travel itineraries to finding inspiration for your next dream vacation, Instagram has become the go-to app for travel buffs.
Here are the top spots in Beverly Hills that will help you pick the perfect place to set up your next shoot:
Greystone Mansion & Park
Built in 1928 for the son of a prominent oil baron, the majestic Greystone Mansion today is surrounded by 18.5 pastoral acres of lush, city-owned parkland.
Greystone has had feature roles in dozens of famous movies including The Big Lebowski, There Will Be Blood, Ghostbusters, Austin Powers: Goldmember, and Spiderman.
Location: Greystone Mansion & Park, 905 Loma Vista Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210
The Witch's House
The Witch's House, also known as the Spadena House, appears to be plucked straight out of a fairytale. The house was built in 1921 for a silent film movie studio, Willat Studios in Culver City, to serve as its offices and dressing rooms.
When the studio closed, the Spadena family moved the home to its current location in Beverly Hills, where it has been since 1934. Thanks to the pointy, lopsided roof, tiny windows and stucco with a distressed paint technique, the home has been described as the quintessential Hansel and Gretel house.
Location: The Witch's House, 516 N. Walden Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Beverly Hills Sign & Lily Pond
Your trip will be incomplete without a picture in front of the Beverly Hills sign, located in Beverly Gardens Park, between North Canon Drive and North Beverly Drive.
It is one of the most recognisable landmarks in the city. This 40-foot sign will set a perfect postcard background for your selfie or group shot.
Location: Santa Monica Blvd., Between N Beverly Drive and N Canon Drive, Beverly Hills, CA 90210
The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills
Cheese aficionados may think they've died and gone to heaven upon entering this shop that stocks over 500 varieties of the best cheeses from all over the world.
While the store is known for its extensive cheese offerings, it also features wine and fine foods, including truffles, caviar, olive oils and charcuterie.
Location: The Cheese Store of Beverly Hills, 419 N. Beverly Dr., Beverly Hills, CA 90210
Sprinkles' Cupcake ATM
Who needs to go to an ATM for cash when they can get a Sprinkles cupcake instead? The Sprinkles Cupcake ATM was the first in the country to offer these delectable treats via this fun and unique experience enjoyed by visitors and locals alike.
You're just moments away from any one of their 24 most popular flavours including red velvet, chocolate marshmallow and vanilla peppermint. You can even choose something special for your pooch with their dog-friendly cupcakes. (ANI)

In lecture 3 of the Islamist Entanglement, I presented the history of the Ottoman Empire and modern Turkey. I introduced this topic to my students by explaining that Turkey is by far the most westernized of all the Islamic countries in the Middle East. As such, Turkey is a kind of historical prototype–an advanced model whose development can help us predict how other countries in the Middle East might develop. Sadly, in this regard, Turkey's history demonstrates that there is a frightening limit to how much even the most progressive Muslim countries can be expected to achieve given the interaction between the Middle East and the Western world.
Turkey's relatively advanced position stems from its history of close cultural contact with Europe. After failing to take Vienna in 1683, the Ottoman Turks were driven back across Eastern Europe, and in the wake of the "Great Turkish War," agreed to a peace that involved the first dictated terms ever endured by that medieval superpower. Over the next century, they continued to lose to the West, most notably in the Russo-Turkish Wars of 1768-74 and 1787-92. Subsequently, their autonomous vassals, the Mameluks of Egypt, were also trounced by Napoleon in 1798. In light of all these military defeats, the Turks hit upon the need to discover the secret of the West's superiority and began to study Europe intently.
At first, the desire to learn from Europe was entirely pragmatic. The Turks were merely looking among their adversaries for the means to destroy them. However, the first ambassadors ever sent to the West by Sultan Selim III in 1793 reported back that European countries had achieved certain political advances, which, when they were copied, began to make Turkey more like the very enemies it hated.
Ostensibly, Europe's countries had moved beyond feudalism. Their centralized monarchies boasted efficient conduits of information within and between the military and civilian authorities, allowing the monarch's tentacles of power to extend outward to touch every aspect of the state. Feudalism, an unwieldy system with unreliable arrangements of vassalage, had been replaced with standing armies and a hierarchy of professional civil servants to integrate and support them. This was believed to be the political dimension that underlay European success. Selim and his successor Mahmud II set about mimicking this apparatus, hoping that by duplicating the "technological" side of Western government, they could match its efficiency.
Despite such efforts, European supremacy over the Ottoman world continued unabated. More radical reforms were needed. As it became evident that military and bureaucratic changes were insufficient, education became an area of special focus. Military cadets were sent to Europe in waves. The first secular educational institutions for military, medical, and scientific training were created.
In a report of the Ottoman "Board of Useful Affairs" concerning this work, it was noted that "Religious knowledge serves salvation in the world to come but science serves the perfection of man in this world." A more fundamental factor fueling the West's advance had thus been identified: the emancipation of science and practical life from religion.
This was not something that traditionalist Muslim authorities were willing to accept, however, or to allow to be widely implemented. Thus knowledge of the West's secular superiority was restricted to the ranks of a small educated elite associated with the Ottoman Sultanate, and a rift between that elite and the bulk of the people developed.
When asked by a scholarly committee about the religious validity of implementing a secular Western legal code for regulating commerce, the Ottoman Grand Vizir replied, "The holy law has nothing to do with such matters!"
"Blasphemy!" responded the committee.
Sadly, this has continued to be the response of the ulema (religious scholars) and the large, religiously submissive element of the Turkish population to this day.
By the time Turkey was formed in 1923, the educated Westernized intelligentsia still constituted less than 10% of its population. Most of the people were still agricultural peasants, and still under the sway of their local imams ("priests").
Not surprisingly therefore, when Turkey's great modern leader, Mustafa Kemal, came to power after WWI, he found that it was necessary to "force the people to be free." He would establish a benevolent, secularist dictatorship, until a more stable foundation could be erected and the people could be entrusted to direct their own progress.
Primary and secondary education were secularized. Women were emancipated, and given access to all levels of education. All symbols of traditional submission, such as long beards and headscarfs, were eliminated within government institutions. Even the alphabet and the calendar were Westernized. Given such measure, within a few generations, perhaps, the people would be ready.
It may seem surprising that Kemal, and his successor Ismet Inonu, who were both oppressive dictators after a fashion, were indeed committed to freedom. They definitely crushed any opposition–often violently. Critics could be exiled, or just as likely hanged in public, while the reform program was imposed upon the people. Still, Turkey's leaders continually tinkered with democratic forms, trying to expand the peoples' participation in the government.
Sadly, they found them still incapable of understanding and defending their own freedom. In 1950, hoping that the time had come, Inonu allowed the first free elections to be held, and the incumbent regime was removed. From this point on, Turkey's history is a dizzying, erratic succession of democratic and military regimes, with coups almost as numerous as elections. The army, the most westernized institution in the country, has repeatedly defied the majority of the population's wish to re-inject Islam into the government. Most recently, a democratically elected Islamic party was ousted by the military in a 1997 coup, only to be succeeded by a new democratic regime whose leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan also intends a shift towards Islamism.
The situation in Turkey is inherently unstable.
Indeed, without a fundamentally positive shift in the culture, Turkey's Kemalist system is likely to come to an end. However, no such shift seems likely to occur, and the United States deserves a good deal of the blame.
What Turkey has needed since WWII, when it came to America's attention, is much more than just a nuclear aegis to fend off Communism. It has needed principled guidance by the United States on how to advance the secularist program so that it can truly Westernize once and for all. Unfortunately, that's not what it got.
Truman specifically had Turkey in mind when he enunciated his doctrine. If its regime could be propped up, he believed, then the Soviets would be prevented from penetrating to the Mediterranean. Of course, Turkey was but one piece in a much larger containment scheme. If, in order to appease the Soviets during the Cuban Missile Crisis, America needed to withdraw Turkey's nuclear shield (American Jupiter missiles) then so be it. If in 1964, Turkey planned to intervene in Cyprus, where a civil war between Greek and Turkish Cypriots was brewing, but this was deemed counterproductive by the United States, then Turkey was warned that American support against the Soviet Union was contingent upon following orders to diffuse the conflict. Throughout the past sixty years, though nominally committed to helping Turkey, the United States has done nothing but treat it as a disposable asset.
How then could Turkey be expected to progress? Could it reasonably be expected to model its culture on America's? The United States certainly hasn't shown Turkey any special respect for its secular virtues.
On the contrary, it is entirely understandable that Turkey should reject American domination and American values — a trend that began during the Ford administration — while seeking closer ties with both the Soviet Union, and especially Europe.
This will probably be its undoing. The great irony of Turkey's rapprochement with Europe is that the European Union requires democratic governments in its candidate states. For Turkey to embrace Europe's democratic ideal, however, is to insure that the Islamist element in Turkey wins a permanent voice in its political system, and possibly even that it becomes the dominant element — as foreshadowed by the Erdoğan premiership.
Turkey thus seems poised to regress rather than progress.
There is no sign that it will find any new guidance from America, or that on its own, it will be able to realize the aim of full cultural secularization. Turkey has been stuck on a plateau ever since the Kemalist secularization program stopped and the country's progress was undercut by America's Cold War treatment of it. Now Islam appears ready to make a political comeback.
What Turkey is thus likely to transmit to the Islamic world in the next generation is not the image of a successful secular Middle Eastern country, but rather the frightening picture of the partial-birth abortion of one.

In the UK, non-emergencies are dealt with in a surgery by a doctor (a General Practitioner or GP). You need to register with a doctor before you are treated, so you must do this within the first week of your arrival in the UK or at your new university town. You do not pay to register with or to consult with a doctor. You can register with a GP by going to the doctor's surgery. Names and addresses of doctors can be obtained from www.nhs.uk for England or www.nhs24.com (for Scotland).
If you're feeling unwell you can get an appointment with a doctor or nurse at the university's health centre. For out-of-hours health advice, you can call the NHS 24 on 08454 24 24 24 – but always get advice in person from a medical professional if anything persists or you're worried at all.
Although dental treatment is available on the NHS, it is not always free. You can choose which NHS dentist you want to be registered with (it does not need to be the dental practice closest to your residence), but you need to be registered with a dentist before you receive treatment from them. To find a list of NHS registered dentists see www.nhs.uk for England or www.nhs24.com(for Scotland)

Udaipur Food and Dining Guide - Restaurants, where to eat, and more
Find a place to stay
For food of the region, the so-called thali restaurants are the best bet, where you get to dine on all-you-can-eat Rajasthani dishes. They are heavy on roti, savory goodies and vegetables. Udaipur is also known for its spicy snacks, known as mirchi bada, so be careful when in the bazaars if you're not a fan of boiling hot chilli.
Restaurants are a mixture of Asian and Western, with Indian and Chinese being the most popular eats, while the lakeshore has the highest quality food.
Lake Pichola shore
You will find swanky restaurants through to airy eateries along this popular lakeshore, which is right in town. One of the most popular restaurants is Ambrai, which sits right at water level near the City Palace Museum. The best option for getting here is by rickshaw.
Lake Palace Road and surrounds
Lake Palace Road and the nearby streets of Jagdish Temple Road and Lal Ghat are the best places for fine dining. One of the best hotels in Udaipur is the restaurant within the Lake Palace Hotel, which resides on nearby Jagniwas Island. Multi-course meals are excellent yet relatively expensive.
Ganjaur Ghat
For market dining at stalls and standard sit down restaurants, the bazaars of the eastern part of Ganjaur Ghat are a must. There are several bars and long streets with markets that start from the Clock Tower and radiate outward. This area is also one of the best for shopping.
Udaipur restaurants
Hanuman Ghat, Lakeshore
While this open-air restaurant is not renowned for its food or service, it certainly has one of the best locations in the city as it sits right on the banks of Lake Pichola. It is best to dine here at night when the city and lake palaces are lit up. Traditional Rajasthan dishes are exquisite but be sure to arrive early.
Lake Palace Hotel
Lake Pichola
Phone: +91 294 252 8800
The Lake Palace Hotel has arguably the finest dining in all of Udaipur. It has food from all regions of the country along with entertainment provided by dancing Rajasthani women and boasts supreme waiter service. There is a cocktail bar as well as restaurants here.
The Whistling Teal
Jhadol Haveli, 103 Bhatiyani Chohatta
Phone: +91 294 242 2067
The Whistling Teal sits in the garden courtyard of Jhadol Haveli Resort and is perfect for those looking to dine with romance in mind. It has the best Rajasthani dishes as well as a chilled out bar area with a variety of tobaccos to smoke.
Savage Garden
22 Inside Chandpole
Phone: +91 294 242 5440
Savage Garden is good for a light lunch and has a delightful courtyard setting strewn with bougainvilleas. Traditional Indian fare can be had here and the spinach mutton and grilled fish are particularly popular. Savage Garden also does vegetarian curries and pasta dishes.

Mumbai photojournalist Danish Siddiqui wins Pulitzer prize for series on Rohingya genocide
An exhausted Rohingya woman – drained and dejected – falls to her knees on the Bangladesh shore. In the back ground, a group of men offload their belongings after crossing into the country by boat through the Bay of Bengal, a photo taken by Mumbai-based photographer Danish Siddiqui, are among the pictures shot by a Reuters team that won the Pulitzer Prize for feature photography on Tuesday. The pictures were shot by Siddiqui in September 2017. He was part of a team of journalists that captured images of the refugees…Read More

One nail art technique that I've always been interested in is sugar spun nails. Every time I came across a picture of them, I would want to do them but, when it came time, I never followed through. I'm guessing it had something to do with the cleanup afterwards. Regardless, today I decided to give it a shot.
The base color is Butter London Trout Pout. I mattified it using China Glaze Matte Magic. For the sugar spun design, I used Sally Hansen White On. To add more texture and just a hint of sparkle, I mixed some white glitter with the polish before stringing it onto my nails.
Now, this was definitely a trial by error manicure. I did my ring finger first and had a bit of trouble because I let the polish thicken too much. Next, I did my middle and index fingers which were still a bit too thick but slightly more manageable. My pinky and thumb turned out the best. It took me a bit to get a strategy down but once I did, it was a piece of cake. Cleanup, as I thought it would be, was a son of a bleep. The finished product, though, I love.

The Inspector-General/Act I
SCENE: A room in the Governors house.
Scene I.[edit]
(The GOVERNOR, the CHARITY COMMISSIONER, the DIRECTOR OF SCHOOLS, the JUDGE, the POLICE SUPERINTENDENT, the DOCTOR, and two Police Officers.)
GOVERNOR. I have called you together, gentlemen, to receive a very unpleasant piece of news: there's an Inspector-General coming.
JUDGE and CHARITY COMMISSIONER. What, a Revizor?
GOVERNOR. Yes, an Inspector from Petersburg, incognito. With secret instructions, too.
JUDGE. Well, I declare!
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. We've escaped hitherto, so now it's our turn!
LUKA LUKICH (the School Director). Good Lord! with secret instructions!
GOVERNOR. I had a sort of presentiment of it: all last night I dreamt about a pair of monstrous rats. Upon my word, I never saw the like of 'em—so black and enormous. They came, and snuffed about, and vanished... Here's a letter which I will read you from Andrei Ivanovich Chmikov. You know him, Artemi Philippovich (to the CHARITY COMMISSIONER). This is what he says: "My dear friend, my comrade and benefactor... (He mutters over quickly the first few sentences.) ...and to let you know" — Ah ! that's it — "I hasten to let you know, amongst other things, that an official has been sent with instructions to inspect the whole province, and your district especially. (Lifts his finger significantly.) That he is coming I know from very reliable sources, but he pretends to be a private person. So, as you have your little faults, you know, like everybody else (you're a sensible man, and don't let your little perquisites slip through your fingers) . . ." (Stopping.) H'm, that's after a manner of speaking. ..." I advise you to take precautions, for he may come any hour if he has not already done so, and is staying somewhere incognito. . . . Yesterday . . ." Oh, then come family matters. " My cousin,[1] Anna Kirillovna, paid us a visit, with her husband ; Ivan Kirillovich has got very fat, and is always playing the fiddle . . ." etcetera, etcetera. Now, here's a pretty business !
JUDGE. Yes, extraordinary, simply extraordinary. There must be some reason for it.
LUKA. But why, Anton Antonovich,[2] why is it ? Why should we have an Inspector?
GOVERNOR (sighing). Oh, it's fate, I suppose ! (Sighs again.) Till now, thank goodness, they've pried into other towns; but now our time has come.
JUDGE. It's my opinion, Anton Antonovich, that it's a deep political move, and it means—let me see that—Russia . . . yes, that's it ... Russia wants to make war, and the Government has surreptitiously sent an official to see if there's any disaffection anywhere.
GOVERNOR. Ah, you've got it! you know a thing or two ! The idea of treason in an inland town ! As if it lay on the frontier ! Why, from here you may gallop for three years before you reach a foreign country.
JUDGE. No, I'll tell you how it is—you don't understand—the Government looks very closely into matters ; it may be far away, yet it observes everything—.
GOVERNOR (cutting him short). It may or it may not—anyhow, gentlemen, I have warned you. I have made some arrangements on my own behalf, and I advise you to do the same. You especially, Artemi Philoppovich ! (to the CHARITY COMMISSIONER.) Without doubt, this chinovnik will want first of all to inspect your hospital ; and so you had better see that everything is in order ; that the night-caps are clean, and that the sick persons don't go about as they usually do—looking like blacksmiths.
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. Oh, that's all right. They shall have clean night-caps, if you like.
GOVERNOR. And you might write up over each bed, in Latin or some other lingo—that's your business, Christian Ivanovich (to the DOCTOR)—the name of each complaint, when the patient got ill, the day of the week and month . . . and I don't like your invalids smoking such strong tobacco ; it makes you choke when you come in. It would be better too if there weren't so many of them ; otherwise it will be at once ascribed to bad supervision or unskilful doctoring.
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. Oh, Christian Ivanovich and I have settled all about the doctoring ; the nearer we get to nature the better : we don't go in for costly medicines. A man is a simple affair—if he dies, he dies ; if he gets well, why, then he gets well. And it wouldn't be easy for the sick people and Christian to understand one another ; he doesn't know a word of Russian. (The DOCTOR grunts unintelligibly.)
GOVERNOR. Also I would recommend you, Ammos Fyodorovich—(to the JUDGE)—to turn your attention to the court-house buildings. There's the ante-chamber, where the petitioners usually wait ; you've let the attendants breed geese there, and the goslings go poking their beaks amongst people's legs. Of course, rearing geese is a laudable object, and there's no reason why an usher should not do so; only, you see, the County Court is not exactly the place for it. ... I intended to mention it before, but it somehow quite escaped my memory.
JUDGE. Well, I'll tell them to take 'em all into the kitchen to-day. Will you come to dinner?
GOVERNOR (not noticing). Besides that, it doesn't do for the court chamber to get so full of rubbish of all sorts : why, there was a sporting whip lying among the papers on your very desk. I know you're fond of sport, but there is a proper time and place for everything—when the Inspector is gone you can put it back again. Then your assessor . . . he's certainly a learned man, but he reeks of spirits, as if he had just come out of a distillery; that also is undesirable. I meant to tell you of this some while ago, but something or other put it out of my head. There are ways of remedying it, if it is really, as he says, a natural failing : you can recommend him to eat onions or garlic, or something of the sort. Christian Ivanovich can help him there with some of his nostrums. (The DOCTOR grunts as before.)
JUDGE. No, it's quite impossible to get rid of it ; he says his nurse knocked him down when he was a child, and ever since he has smelt of vodka.
GOVERNOR. Well, I just reminded you of it. As regards the local administration, and what Andrei Ivanovich is pleased to call one's "little faults" in his letter, I don't understand what he means. Why, of course, there isn't a man living who has not some peccadilloes to account for : Heaven made him so—let freethinkers say what they like.
JUDGE. What do you mean by peccadilloes, Anton Antonovich ? There are peccadilloes and peccadilloes. I tell every one plainly that I take bribes, but what kind of bribes? Why, greyhound puppies. That's a totally different matter.
GOVERNOR. H'm, whether they're puppies or anything else, they're all bribes alike.
JUDGE. No, indeed, Anton Antonovich. But suppose, for example, one receives a cloak worth five hundred roubles,[3] or your good lady receives a shawl . . .
GOVERNOR (testily). Yes ; but what has that got to do with your being bribed with puppy greyhounds? Besides, you're an atheist; you never go to church ; while I, at least, am a firm believer, and attend service every Sunday. Whereas you—oh, I know you ; when I hear you talking about the Creation my hair simply stands on end.
JUDGE. What of that? I have reasoned it all out with my own unaided intellect.
GOVERNOR. Anyhow, too much knowledge is worse than none at all. . . , However, I only made a remark about the County Court, and I daresay nobody will ever look at it ; there's an odour of sanctity about the place. But you, Luka Lukich, as Director of Educational Establishments, ought to have an eye on the teachers. They're very clever people, no doubt, and are blessed with a college education ; but they have very funny habits—inseparable from their profession, I suppose. One of them, for instance, the fat-faced man—I forget his name—can't get along without screwing up his phiz like this (imitates him) when he's got into his chair ; and then he sets to work clawing his neck-tie and scratching his chin. It doesn't matter, of course, if he makes a face at a pupil—perhaps it's even necessary—I'm no judge of that ; but you yourselves will admit, that if he grimaces at a visitor, it may leave a very bad impression. The honourable Inspector, or any one else, might take it as meant for himself—and then the deuce knows what might come of it.
LUKA. What can I do with him, I ask ? I have told him of it time after time. Only the other day, when our head-master came into class, your friend made such a face at him as I had never seen before. I daresay it was with the best intentions, but people come complaining to me about radical notions being instilled into the juvenile mind.
GOVERNOR. And then you should look to the master of the history class. He has a learned head, that is evident, and has picked up any amount of knowledge ; but he lectures with such ardour that he quite forgets himself. I once listened to him. As long as he was holding forth about the Assyrians and Babylonians, it was all right ; but when he got on Alexander of Macedon, I can't describe his behaviour. Good heavens, I thought, there's a fire ! He jumped out of his chair, and smashed a stool on the ground with all his might ! Alexander of Macedon was a hero, we all know, but that's no reason for breaking the furniture ; besides, the State has to pay for the damages.
LUKA. Yes, he is fiery ! I have spoken to him about it several times. He only says : " As you please, but in the cause of learning I will even sacrifice my life !"
GOVERNOR. Yes, it's a mysterious law of fate ; your clever man is either a drunkard, or he makes such frightful grimaces that you have to carry out the saints.[4]
LUKA. Ah, Heaven save us from being schoolmasters ! You're afraid of everything ; everybody meddles with you, and wants to show you that he's as learned as you are.
GOVERNOR. Oh, all that's nothing ; it's this cursed incognito ! All of a sudden he'll look in : "Ah, so you're here, my friends ! And who's the judge here?" he'll say." Lyapkin-Tyapkin."[5] "Well, bring Lyapkin-Tyapkin here, then !" " And who is the Charity Commissioner ?" "Zemlyanfka."[6] "Call Zemlyanfka, too!" There'll be a pretty kettle of fish !
Scene II[edit]
(Enter the POSTMASTER.) POSTMASTER. Tell me, gentlemen, who's coming ? What sort of chinovnik ?
GOVERNOR. What, haven't you heard ?
POSTMASTER. I heard something from Bobchinski ; he was just now with me at the postoffice.
GOVERNOR. Well, what do you think about it?
POSTMASTER. What do I think about it? Why, there'll be a war with the Turks.
JUDGE. Exactly; that's just what I thought!
GOVERNOR. Well, you're both wide of the mark.[7]
POSTMASTER. It'll be with the Turks, I'm sure. It's all the Frenchman's doing.[8]
GOVERNOR. Pooh ! War with the Turks, indeed ! It's we who are going to get into trouble, not the Turks. That's quite certain. I've a letter to say so.
POSTMASTER. Oh, then we shan't go to war with the Turks.
GOVERNOR. Well, how do you feel, Ivan Kuzmich? (To the POSTMASTER.)
POSTMASTER. How do I feel ? How do you, Anton Antonovich ?
GOVERNOR. I ? Well, I'm no coward, but I am just a little uncomfortable. The shopkeepers and townspeople bother me. It seems I'm unpopular with them ; but, the Lord knows, if I've blackmailed anybody, I've done it without a trace of ill-feeling. I even think —(button-holes him, and takes him aside)—I even think there will be some sort of complaint drawn up against me. . . . Why should we have a revizor at all ? . . . Look here, Ivan Kuzmich, don't you think you could just slightly open every letter which comes in and goes out of your office, and read it (for the public benefit, you know), to see if it contains any kind of information against me, or only ordinary correspondence? If it is all right, you can seal it up again ; or simply deliver the letter opened.
POSTMASTER. Oh, I know that game. . . . Don't teach me that! I do it from pure curiosity, not as a precaution ; I'm death on knowing what's going on in the world. And they're very interesting to read, I can tell you ! Now and then you come across a love-letter, with bits of beautiful language, and so edifying . . . much better than the Moscow News !
GOVERNOR. Tell me, then, have you read anything about any chinovnik from Petersburg ?
POSTMASTER. No, nothing about any one from Petersburg, but plenty about the Kostroma and Saratov[9] people. It's a pity you don't read the letters. There's some very fine passages in them. For instance, not long ago a lieutenant writes to a friend, describing a ball in first-rate style—splendid ! " Dear friend," he says, "I live in Elysium ; heaps of girls, music playing, flags flying," . . . quite a glowing description, quite ! I've kept it by me, on purpose. Would you like to read it ?
GOVERNOR. Thanks ; there's no time now. But oblige me, Ivan Kuzmich—if ever you chance upon a complaint or a denouncement, keep it back, without the slightest compunction.
POSTMASTER. I will, with the greatest pleasure.
JUDGE (who has overheard a little). You had better mind; you'll get into trouble over that some time or other.
POSTMASTER (innocently). Eh ? The saints[10] forbid !
GOVERNOR. It was nothing—nothing. It would be different if it concerned you or the public—but it was a private affair, I assure you !
JUDGE. H'm, some mischief was brewing, I know ! . . . But I was going to say, Anton Antonovich, that I had got a puppy to make you a present of—own sister to the dog you know about. I daresay you've heard that Cheptovich and Varkhovinski have gone to law with one another; so now I live in clover—I hunt hares first on one's estate, and then on the other's.
GOVERNOR. I don't care about your hares now, my good friend; I've got that cursed incognito on the brain ! I expect the door to be opened, and all of a sudden. . . .
Scene III[edit]
(Enter BOBCHINSKl and DOBCHINSKl, out of breath.)
BOBCHINSKI. What an extraordinary occurrence !
DOBCHINSKI An unexpected piece of news !
ALL. What is it—what is it ?
DOBCHINSKI. Something quite unforeseen ; we go into the inn—
BOBCHINSKI (interrupting). Yes, Pyotr[11] Ivanovich. and I go into the inn—
DOBCHINSKI (takes him up) All right, Peter Ivanovich, let me tell it !
BOBCHINSKI. No, no, allow me—allow me. . . . You haven't got the knack—
DOBCHINSKl. Oh, but you'll get mixed up and forget it all.
BOBCHINSKI. Oh, no, I shan't—good heavens, no ! There, don't interrupt me—do let me tell the news—don't interrupt ! Pray oblige me, gentlemen, and tell Dobchinski not to interrupt.
GOVERNOR. Well, say on, for God's sake, what is it? My heart is in my mouth! Sit down, sirs; take seats! Pyotr Ivanovich, here's a chair for you! (They all sit round BOBCHINSKI and DOBCHINSKI.) Well now, what is it, what is it ?
BOBCHINSKI. Permit me—permit me ; I can relate it properly. . . . H'm, as soon as I had the pleasure of taking my leave after you were good enough to be bothered with the letter which you had received, sir—yes, then I ran out—now please don't keep on taking me up, Dobchinski ; I know all about it, all, I tell you, sir.—So, as you'll kindly take notice, I ran out to see Karobkin. But not finding Karobkin at home, I went off to Rastakovski, and not seeing him, I went, you see, to Ivan Kuzmich,[12] to tell him of the news you'd got; yes, and going on from there I met Dobchinski—
DOBCHINSKI (breaking in). By the stall, where they sell tartlets—
BOBCHINSKI. —by the stall, where they sell tartlets. Well, I meet Dobchinski and say to him, "Have you heard the news that Anton Antonovich has got ? — the letter may be depended on ! " But Peter Ivanovich had already heard of it from your housekeeper, Avdotya,[13] who, I don't know why, had been sent to Philip Antonovich Pachechuyev—
DOBCHINSKI (interrupting). With a bottle for some French brandy.
BOBCHINSKI. —yes, with a bottle for some French brandy. Then I went with Dobchinski to Pachechuyev's—will you stop, Peter Ivanovich—there, do have done with your interfering!—So off we go to Pachechuyev's, and on our way Dobchinski says, "Let's go," says he, " to the inn. I've eaten nothing since morning . . . there's such a rumbling in my inner man" . . . Yes, sir, in Peter Ivanovich's internals. " But they've got some fresh salmon in the inn," he says ; " so we can have a snack." We hadn't been in the public-house a moment, when in comes a young man—
DOBCHINSKI (as before). Rather good-looking and well-dressed.[14]
BOBCHINSKI. —yes, rather good-looking and well-dressed—and walks into the room, with such an expression on his face—such a physiognomy—and style so distinguished a head-piece (moves his hand round his forehead). I had a kind of presentiment, and I say to Dobchinski, " There's something up here, sir ! " Yes—and Dobchinski beckoned, and called up the landlord, Vlas,[15] the inn-keeper, you know—three weeks ago his wife presented him with a baby—such a fine, forward boy—he'll grow up just like his father, and keep a public-house. Well, we called up Vlas, and Dobchinski asks him quite privately, "Who," says he, "is that young man ? " And Vlas replies, " That," says he—oh, don't interrupt me so, Peter Ivanovich, please; good Lord ! you can't tell the story, you can't tell it—you don't speak plainly, with only one tooth in your head, and a lisp.—"That young man," says he, " is a chinovnik,"—yes, sir—" who is on his way from Petersburg, and his name," says he, " is Ivan Alexandrovich Khlestakov, sir, and he's off," says he, "to the government of Saratov," says he, "and his goings-on are very peculiar—he's stayed here over a fortnight, he doesn't leave the house, he takes everything on account, and doesn't pay a kopek When he told me that, I felt illuminated from above, and I said to Peter Ivanovich, Hey ! "—
DOBCHINSKi. No, Pyotr Ivanovich, I said " Hey ! "
BOBCHINSKI. Well, first you said it, and then I did. " Hey ! " said both of us, " and why does he stay here, when he's bound for Saratov ? " Yes, sir, that chinovnik is HE !
GOVERNOR. Who—what chinovnik ?
BOBCHINSKI. Why, the chinovnik of whom you were pleased to get the notification—the Revizor.
GOVERNOR (in a panic). Great God ! what do you say ? It can't be he !
DOBCHINSKI. It is, though ! Why, he pays no money, and he doesn't go. Who else could it be ? And his padarozhnaya[16] is made out for Saratov.
BOBCHINSKI. It's he, it's he, good God,[17] it's he ! ... Why, he's so observant ; he noticed everything. He saw that Dobchinski and I were eating salmon—all on account of Dobchinski's inside . . . and he looked at our plates like this (imitates). I was in an awful fright.
GOVERNOR. Lord, have mercy upon sinners like us ! Where is he staying now, then ?
DOBCHINSKI. In room No. 5, first floor.
BOBCHINSKI. In the same room where the officers quarrelled last year on their way through.
GOVERNOR. How long has he been here?
DOBCHINSKI. A fortnight or more. He came on St. Vasili's Day.[18]
GOVERNOR. A fortnight! (Aside.) Holy Fathers and Saints, preserve me! In that fortnight the sergeant's wife was flogged ! No provisions given to the prisoners ! Dram-shops and dirt in the streets ! Shameful—scandalous ! (Tears his hair.)
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. What do you think, Anton Antonovich—had we better go to the inn in gala uniform ?
JUDGE. No, no ! First send the Mayor, then the clergy and the tradespeople ; it's all in the book, The Acts of John the Freemason[19] . . .
GOVERNOR. No no ! Leave it to me ! I've had ticklish jobs before now, and I've managed 'em all right, and even been thankful for them. Maybe, the Lord will help us out this time as well. (Turns to BOBCHINSKl.) You say he's a young man ?
BOBCHINSKI Yes, about twenty-three or four at the outside.
GOVERNOR. So much the better—it's easier to ferret anything out. It's the devil, if you've got an old bird to deal with ; but a young man's all on the surface. You, gentlemen, had better get your departments in order, while I'll go by myself, or with Dobchinski here, and have a private stroll round, to see that travellers are treated with due consideration. Here, Svistunov! (to one of the Police- Officers.)
SVISTUNOV. Sir?
GOVERNOR. Go at once to the Police Superintendent ; or no—I shall want you. Tell somebody to send him as quick as possible to me, and then come back here. (SVISTUNOV runs out at full speed.)
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. Let us go, let us go, Ammos Fyodorovich. Some mischief may happen, I do believe.
JUDGE. What's there for you to be afraid of? Give the sick clean nightcaps, and the thing's done!
CHARITY COMMISSIONER. Nightcaps—bosh! The sick were ordered to have oatmeal porridge. Instead of that, there's such a smell of cabbages in all my corridors that you're obliged to hold your nose.
JUDGE. Well, my mind's at ease on that score. As to the County Court, who'll visit that ? Supposing he does look at any of the papers, he'll wish he'd left it alone. Why, I've been sitting fifteen years on the bench—and do I ever look at a charge-sheet ? No, thank you ! Solomon himself couldn't make head or tail of 'em!
(The JUDGE, CHARITY COMMISSIONER, SCHOOL INSPECTOR, and POSTMASTER go out, and bump violently up against the POLICE-OFFICER in the doorway as the latter returns.)
Scene IV[edit]
(The GOVERNOR, BOBCHINSKI, DOBCHINSKI, and the POLICE-OFFICER, SVISTUNOV.)
GOVERNOR. Well, is the droshky ready ?
SVISTUNOV. Yes.
GOVERNOR. Go into the street ... or no, stop ! ... go and bring . . . Why, where are the others ? How is it you are alone ? Didn't I give orders for Prokhorov to be here ? Where's Prokhorov ?
SVISTUNOV. Prokhorov's in the police-office, and can't be employed on duty just now.
GOVERNOR. How's that ?
SVISTUNOV. Well—they brought him back this morning dead drunk. They've soused his head in water, but he's not got sober yet.
GOVERNOR (tearing his hair). Akh, Bozhe moi, Bozhe moi[20] . . . Go out into the street, quick !—or no ! run to my room, sharp, d'ye hear ? and fetch my new hat and sword. Now, Peter Ivanovich (to DOBCHINSKI), let us be off!
BOBCHINSKI And me—me too! ... Let me come too, Anton Antonovich !
GOVERNOR. No, no, Bobchinski, it's impossible! Three's no company, you know, and we couldn't find room in the droshky either.
BOBCHINSKI. Oh, that doesn't matter; I'll manage it—I'll trot behind the droshky on foot—on foot—on foot! I only just want to peep through a chink, so, to see what his ways are like. . . .
GOVERNOR (turning to the POLICE-OFFICER and taking the sword). Run directly and get the constables together—let 'em each take a ... there, see how this sword has got rusted ! It's that dog of a trader, Abdulin—he sees the Governor's sword's worn out, and he doesn't provide me with a new one ! Oh, the scurvy set of tricksters! And I'll bet the scoundrels have got their petitions against me ready under their coat-tails ! . . . Let each of 'em take hold of a street . . . d—n ! I don't mean a street—a broom . . . and sweep the whole of the street that leads to the inn, and sweep it clean, mind ! . . . Do you hear ? And just look here—I know you, my friend ; I know your little ways : you worm your way in[21] there, and walk off with silver spoons in your boots—just you, look out, I have a quick ear. . . . What have you been up to with the merchant Chornyaiev, eh? He gave you two yards[22] of cloth for your uniform, and you stole the whole piece. Take care ! Don't you rob more than your station warrants ! Be off!
Scene V[edit]
(Enter the POLICE SUPERINTENDENT.)
GOVERNOR. Hullo, Stepan Ilyich, where to goodness have you been hiding yourself? What kind of behaviour do you call that ?
SUPERINTENDENT. I was only beyond the door for a moment.
GOVERNOR. Well, listen, Stepan Ilyich ! There's a chinovnik come from Petersburg. What arrangements have you made ?
SUPERINTENDENT. Exactly as you ordered. I have sent the Kvartalni,[23] Pugovitsin, with the constables to clean up the streets.
GOVERNOR. But where's Derzhimorda ?
SUPERINTENDENT. He's gone off with the fire-engine.
GOVERNOR. And Prokhorov's drunk ?
SUPERINTENDENT. Yes.
GOVERNOR. How is it you allowed that ?
SUPERINTENDENT. The Lord only knows ! Yesterday there was a row outside the town—he went there to stop it, and was brought back drunk.
GOVERNOR. Well, hear me, then—this is what you are to do : the police-lieutenant—he is tall, so he's to stand on the bridge—that will give a good effect. Then the old fence, near the boot-maker's, must be pulled down at once and scattered about, and a post stuck up with a wisp of straw, so as to look like building operations. The more litter there is the more it will show the Governor's zeal and activity. . . . Good God ! though, I forgot that about forty cart-loads of rubbish have been shot behind that fence. What a dirty town this is ! No matter where you put a monument, or even a paling, they collect all kinds of rubbish from the devil knows where, and upset it there ! . . . And if the newly-come chinovnik asks any of the officials if they are contented, they're to say : " Perfectly, your Honour ; " and if anybody is not contented, I'll give him something afterwards to be discontented about. , . . (Heaves a sigh.) Ah-h-h! I'm a sinner—a terrible sinner! (Takes the hat-box instead of his hat.) Heaven only grant that I may soon get quit of the matter, and then I'll give such a taper for a thank-offering as has never been given before ! -I'll levy three puds[24] of wax from every merchant for it! Akh Bozhe moi, Bozhe moil Let's be going, Peter Ivanovich ! (Tries to put the hat-box on his head instead of the hat.)
SUPERINTENDENT. Anton Antonovich, that's the hat-box, not your hat !
GOVERNOR (throwing the box down}. D—n it ! so it is ! ... And if he asks why the hospital chapel has not been built, for which the money was voted five years ago, they must mind and say that it began to be built, but got burnt down. Why, I drew up a report about it. But of course some idiot is sure to forget, and let out that the building was never even begun. . . . And tell Derzhimorda that he's not to give such free play to his fists ; guilty or innocent, he makes them all see stars, in the cause of public order. . . . Come on, come on, Dobchinski. (Goes out and returns.) And the soldiers are not to be allowed in the streets with next to nothing on : that scoundrelly garrison only put their tunics on over their shirts, with nothing at all below. (All go out.)
Scene VI[edit]
(ANNA ANDREYEVNA and MARYA ANTONOVNA rush on the scene.)
ANNA. Where are they, where are they? Akh Bozhe moi! . . (Opening the door.) Husband ! Antosha ! Anton ! (Hurriedly, to MARYA.) And it's all your fault !—dawdling, and saying, " I want a pin—I want a handkerchief." (Runs up to the window and shouts.) Anton, where are you, where are you ? Has he come—eh? the Inspector? Has he got a moustache ? What's it like ?
VOICE OF THE GOVERNOR. Wait a bit, ma'am,[25] wait a little !
ANNA. Wait? What an idea! Wait, forsooth ! . . . Not a bit of it ! I only want one word—is he a colonel, or what is he, eh ? ( With disgust.) There ! he's gone ! I won't forgive him for that ! . . . And you kept saying, " Mamma dear, do stop a moment while I pin back my scarf; I'll come directly." Directly, indeed, drat you ! It's all through you we've missed the news ! It's all your abominable vanity. You heard the Postmaster was here, and so you must needs mince before the looking-glass and strike all sorts of attitudes. You fancy he's smitten with you; but I can tell you, miss, he simply makes a face at you as soon as your back is turned.
MARYA. But what's to be done then, mamma? It's all right ; we shall know all about him in an hour or two.
ANNA. An hour or two, forsooth ! Much obliged to you, I'm sure ! A pretty answer to give me ! Why didn't you say—we shall know more in a month! . . . (She leans out of the window.) Here, Avdotya! I say! . . . Have you heard whether anybody's come, Avdotya ? . . . No? you booby—no? Well, you should have asked! Oh, you can't find out anything with your head full of lovers and flim-flams! . . . Eh, what? They went off in a hurry? Well, you should have run after the droshky ! Be off at once, d'you hear? run and ask everybody where they are—ask nicely, and find out what he's like—do you hear me ? Peep through the key-hole and find out all about it—what sort of eyes he's got—see if they're black or not, and be back here at once this minute, d'you understand ? Quick, quick, quick ! (She keeps on shouting, and they both stand at the window until the curtain drops.)

Impending Catastrophe: Spain Has Entered A Full-Scale Collapse And Created A Tremendous Amount of Instability Which Could Trigger An Imminent Lehman-Like Event And A Rerun of The Great Panic of 2008
September 28th, 2012
Less than a year after sweeping to power in a landslide victory, Mr Rajoy is already fatally wounded. He promised never to apply taxpayers' money to bailing out the banks. He already has. He promised not to follow Greece, Ireland and Portugal into a sovereign bail-out. Now, other than leaving the euro, he's got no choice. Even on gay marriage, Mr Rajoy has failed to deliver as promised.
A further €40bn package of austerity measures has been announced in a desperate bid to get ahead of what Brussels wants of Spain and, we must suppose, thereby obtain a somehow unconditional bail-out, allowing national pride to be salvaged. These measures are almost bound to be self-defeating, for they threaten further to shrink the economy, thereby making deficit reduction tougher still. Spain is chasing its tail into austerity-induced fiscal and economic meltdown. Mr Rajoy is a dead man walking.
Other than leaving monetary union and defaulting on its euro debts, which for the moment even the rebellious Catalans don't seem to want, is there any way out for Spain? The answer looks ever more likely to be no.
Membership of monetary union is preventing the application of appropriate monetary policy to the periphery sovereigns. The single currency has also denied Europe the natural market mechanism of free floating exchange rates to correct deficiencies in competitiveness and reduce external indebtedness.
There is only one conclusion to be drawn from all this; though the short-term costs would be profound, Spain must leave the single currency.
Spain is damned if it leaves, but damned for eternity if it stays. Eurozone policy as it stands offers no plausible way back to prosperity.
The Rest…HERE

Many Americans struggle with their medical bills. In some cases an unexpected condition and/or operation leaves an individual or family with insurmountable debt, but medical bills can also rack up from prescription medication. These drugs, though many times helpful, can cost hundreds of dollars per pill, quickly hacking away at an individual's financial stability. In a matter of time, many of these individuals find themselves with unmanageable debt and fear for their financial future.
Nearly $41 billion was spent out-of-pocket in 2013 on prescription drugs. Though the Affordable Care Act has expanded insurance coverage to many Americans, the complicated terms of insurance plans may leave individuals with coverage gaps or unfavorable terms that leave them holding the bag for a significant portion of their medical expenses. When this happens, an individual can quickly find himself or herself drowning in unsuspected and undeserved debt.
Unfortunately, this problem is quite common. In fact, medical debt is the leading cause of bankruptcy filings, and more than 50 million people in the U.S. struggle to pay their medical expenses. Those who have trouble affording their medication often turn to credit cards, whose high interest rates can also wreak havoc on an individual's finances.
When it seems like there is no way out of the despair imposed by the black hole of debt, individuals and their families may be able to find debt relief and, in many instances, debt elimination. For medical debt, this is often achieved by filing for bankruptcy. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy, in particular, allows an individual to eliminate debt after assets, with a few exceptions, are sold and proceeds paid to creditors. Though many fear this process, it is a profound step to reclaiming an individual's life and happiness. Those who are concerned with their finances should therefore consider speaking with a Tennessee bankruptcy attorney.

Demanding behavior
Created by Updated on Dec 31, 2013
Hi All, My son is 5 now . He is active and talkative. But at times his demanding behavior worries me. He starts crying if we don't buy him what he wants. But this is not a good habit. Please suggest some ways i can explain him value for money and handle his aggression .
| Jan 07, 2014
Dear all,pls suggest me some ideas n handling my 5 yr old daughter.
| Jan 07, 2014
Hi shikha,wat u said is so true.. I m bit happy that my girl won't demand much,n even if see do we won't mind that n console her when she comes to us back. my problem is different that I'm so so possessive abt her n can't tolerate her if she didn't come behind me,I know its a wrong thing but can't help myself.. also after small small fight I want her to come immediately to me n say sorry but she won't do n take care own time to say.. pls help me out
| Jan 03, 2014
yep, Shikha! u r right!coz all dis i have tried with my 3. 5 yr son!wnevr he demands any absurd thing, i used to recall him abt laborer's kids n he get calm!then he starts abt those kids... ! so it works!!!!!
| Dec 31, 2013
Dear Nishtha! U cud put the message across to ur child before leaving home itself that child cannot demand everything as u r going there with a purpose. N if u contunue wasting money on every toy etc u will be running out of money n won't b able to save money for education, food n health. U cud ask him to weigh what is important spending money on important things or toys etc. u cud share with yr child the plight of a street child who does not even get to have a square meal. Show him the situation of construction laborers children who live in such conditions n u wud prefer giving money to them rather than spending money on such not so important items. Whenever I am out with my kid I make it a point to show them children begging on streets and children of laborers. When ever she demands anything I tell her the list of things we have to buy n ask her to weigh what is more important. Hope this works with ur child!

To start the new year, Pratt Community College men's basketball traveled to compete against Neosho County Community College. The Beavers fell to the Panthers on the road, 94-88.
Fifty-one first-half points were not enough to keep Neosho County at bay. The Beavers held a 12-point lead heading into the second period of action. The Panthers answered back with a 55-point half of their own to help steal the win.
Even with Blake Furcron, the game's leading scorer, the blue and white only posted 37 points in the last half of the game. Furcron, who is the second leading scorer in the Jayhawk Conference based on points per game average (20.5 PPG), put 30 points on the board for the Beavers in efforts to keep his team alive.
The Beavers fell to the .500 mark after the loss, making their overall record 7-7. PCC will return to the Dennis Lesh Sports Arena in their next endeavor where they are 7-2 during home contests.
Pratt will take on Butler Community College as the first of a 2-game home stand beginning Jan. 9 at 8 p.m.

Off the back of the news of their recent signing to Rock Action Records, Glasgow's The Twilight Sad have released a brand new song, 'I/m Not Here [missing face]'.
It's a driving, motorik return from the much-loved Scots, with wailing guitars and swirling synths circling around frontman James Graham's repeated declarations of "I don't want to be around you anymore." Graham describes the track's lyrical basis as being "about my ongoing battle with not liking myself, trying to be a good person but constantly feeling like I'm failing myself and everyone I care about."
Exploring its inception, the band's Andy MacFarlane jovially adds, "I was attempting to play 'Ogives' by Erik Satie, but I'm really shit at the piano so it didn't happen, but I came up with the music using those chord shapes. So from my perspective, it's a bad cover version of that piece of music."
These autumn shows will follow on from appearances at both Barcelona and Porto's Primavera festivals as well as Robert Smith's Meltdown festival and The Cure 's BST day in London. Off the back of their extensive touring with The Cure, it's a fairly quickfire return to the stage for The Twilight Sad, however they've never been the kind of band to do things by half measures. Speaking of the upcoming shows, MacFarlane says, "I'm really excited to start playing again. I've got the drive and I want us to get back out there and do it from a new perspective. We all enjoy playing, we need to rehearse these songs with a new drummer... but it's all such uncharted territory, l think that's why it's exciting to me. I can't tell exactly what's going to happen. I like that chaotic side of it."
The band's signing to Rock Action - a home for so much rich, deserving music, particularly in the band's native Scotland - feels like something of a homecoming for The Twilight Sad. Speaking of the union, Graham says, "To be able to say that we're on that record label, to try and give something back for all the good faith they've had in us over the years. Mogwai took us on tour early on, introduced us to Robert [Smith]. They've been a through line for us and I'm excited to be a part of that label."

Here's an interesting article snippet:
"... So why weren't these structured debt-instruments "stress tested" before the markets were reworked and the financial system became so dependent on them?
"Greed. Because the real purpose of these exotic investments is not to provide true value to the buyer, but to maximize profits for the seller by increasing leverage. That is the real purpose of MBS, CDOs and all the other bizarre-sounding derivatives; higher profits with less capital. It's a scam. Here's how it works: A mortgage applicant buys a house for $400,000 and puts 10 percent down. His mortgage is sold to Wall Street, chopped into pieces, and stitched together in a pool of similar loans. Now the brokerage can use the debt as if it were an asset, borrowing at ratios of 20 or 30 to 1 to fatten the bottom line. When Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken into conservatorship by the government, they were leveraged at an eye-popping 100 to 1. This shows that nearly an infinite amount of debt can be precariously balanced atop a paltry amount of capital. This explains why the $4 trillion aggregate value of the 5 big investment banks and the $1.7 trillion value of the hedge funds is now vanishing more quickly than it was created. Once the mighty gears of structured finance shift into reverse, deleveraging begins with a vengeance pulling trillions into a credit vacuum."
Dump your money in a giant hole

Also, some game-related stuff and fluffy Thanksgiving fare is forthcoming.
