From head to toe, Scooby has a brown coat that is speckled with black spots. He's mostly a quadruped, but he does show some 'human' bipedal traits every now and then. Scooby can also use his front paws as hands because he has opposable thumbs. With his black nose and diamond-shaped blue-green collar with an "SD" (his initials), he stands out from other dogs. Scooby also has four toes on each foot and, unlike other dogs, he only has one pad on the sole of each.
Despite their similarities in personality, Scooby-Doo and Shaggy Rogers have very different approaches to solving crimes. While they both have a tendency to refuse to help others, their friends (Velma Dinkley, Daphne Blake, and Fred Jones) encourage them to go after costumed villains by providing them with "Scooby Snacks," a biscuit-like dog treat or cookie snack (usually shaped like a bone or as shown in later versions of the cartoon Scooby.

The "aliens" kidnap Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo and leave them for dead in the middle of the desert. Crystal and Amber, a wildlife photographer, and her dog greet them when they arrive. Shaggy and Scooby quickly forget about Amber and Crystal when they discover that they are actually extraterrestrials from another planet and must return to their home planet.
Amber and Crystal appeared to have feelings for Shaggy Rogers and Scooby-Doo, but they didn't go after them because "long-distance relationships never work out," as they put it. Amber appears to be a Golden Retriever with a red bandana while in reality, she is a large, blue reptilian with a beak-like mouth that she disguises as a Golden Retriever. As with Scooby, she is able to speak, but she only does so just before she departs, and unlike Scooby, she speaks like a typical human being.

For example, he can communicate in English, but he pronounces most words as though they begin with an "R," even though most people can understand him perfectly (if they acknowledge that he can speak at all). Because of this, he comes in handy whenever the gang needs some help or information from other animals (mostly dogs). He is capable of standing on his hind legs, which he does more frequently over time.
When he was dealing with Scrappy, he often found himself on his back legs, desperately trying to keep both himself and Scrappy safe from danger. He can also change his appearance to look like any monster he's come across, including humans. His tail is prehensile, which he can employ if necessary to help him escape from dangerous situations. He also has an excellent sense of balance, as evidenced by his ability to ride a unicycle while juggling and holding a fishbowl in his hands.

Velma Dinkley is an auburn-haired teenager with freckles who is Caucasian. Despite wearing a baggy and thick orange turtleneck sweater with a red skirt, knee-length orange socks, and black Mary Jane shoes, Velma Dinkley appears to be obscured by her outfit selections in Porn Scoobydoo.
When both women are dressed in swimwear, Velma Dinkley's waist appears to be slightly wider than Daphne Blake's, but this may be exaggerated due to Velma's sweater, which gives the impression that Daphne Blake is heavier than Velma Dinkley actually is. In comparison to Daphne Blake ovular face shape, hers is more circular/square. Her thick-rimmed, square glasses are another distinctive feature of Velma Dinkley appearance.

Her long dusty brown hair and black eyes make her look her age, which is appropriate given her Caucasian ethnicity. In designer short skirts and high heels, she wears a matching red crop top (no belly cover). She was taken aback when the Ape Man put her life in danger, so she quit her role until he was apprehended. In John Maxwell's The Ape Man of Forbidden Mountain, she played the lead role. Scooby-Doo had to save Shaggy from the real Ape Man when they were filming on a bridge.
Mr. Maxwell was disappointed, but not surprised. She explained that she would not be involved in the film until the Ape Man had been captured. Carl, the character's stuntman, was the one clamoring for the lead role. As an accomplished martial artist with a master's in Karate, Daphne had also demonstrated a wide range of skills. She can open locked doors as well as cages with her make-up accessories. She is adaptable and quick-witted during a fight. She's also an excellent surfer. She's a budding musician who can sing and play the piano.

4 accused of pepper spraying victim, obstructing deputies after Victorville protest
Four people were arrested after allegedly pepper spraying another person and obstructing responding deputies following a protest in Victorville Sunday.
The incident unfolded around 11 a.m., when demonstrators were protesting an incident that occurred on Sept. 22 in the city.
The demonstrators gathered in front of and around the Victorville Police Department station and, around 11:40 a.m., several allegedly surrounded and tried to get into a deputy's vehicle.
Announcements were made over a loudspeaker asking the demonstrators to disperse, "but the crowd disregarded lawful orders," San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department officials said in a news release Monday.
Additional deputies responded, and the demonstrators eventually dispersed.
Then, around 12:45 p.m., deputies saw multiple people allegedly assault and pepper spray an uninvolved person at a nearby business near the intersection of Palmdale and McArt roads.
"While deputies attempted to bring the victim to safety, multiple subjects obstructed and delayed deputies," officials detailed. "One subject assaulted a deputy who was in the process of effecting an arrest."
As a result, David Chavez, 27, of Riverside, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a caustic chemical and unlawful assembly. Wendy Lujan, 40, of Pomona, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a caustic chemical, obstructing a peace officer, battery and unlawful assembly. Victor Alba, 30, of Victorville, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a peace officer, battery and unlawful assembly. Wayne Freeman, 36, of Moreno Valley, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing a peace officer and unlawful assembly.
All suspects were booked into the High Desert Detention Center.
No further details about the protest, victim or suspects were released Monday.

Accordage Capuchon Instructables
Below are the directions for an easy-to-make
PVC shakuhachi. For a more challenging technique, click here.
1.8 indicates a shakuhachi length with the
lowest pitch at D. 1.6 has the lowest pitch
at E.
1.8 (1.6) measurements (in millimeters) from
bottom of flute The diameter of the fingerholes is 10mm. ( ) indicate measurements for the 1.6 length. |
(1) | Apply glue to inside of the joint. While the glue is still wet, fit the pipe into the joint with a twisting motion. Use a wooden mallet to pound the joint the rest of the way on, until the pipe reaches the middle of the joint.(No farther!) |
(2) |
Use a saw to cut through the middle of the joint. |
(3) |
File the surface edge of the joint until it is flat with the pipe inside. |
(4) |
With a pencil, draw a line tangent to the circumference of the inner wall. |
(5) |
Make an oblique cut along the line drawn
in diagram 4 at the angle shown in diagram
5. |
(6) | File the surface of the oblique cut until it is smooth and the depth of the mouthpiece indentation is 2mm. (The side edge of a grinder or belt sander works really well for this job.) |
(7) | Use a file to slightly round the back edge of the mouthpiece where it rests against the chin. |
(8) | Use a saw or a file to adjust the length to 542mm. (Cut from the bottom end.) |
(9) |
Tape a piece of thread to the center front
of the shakuhachi. Use this as a guide to
mark the centers of the fingerholes with
a pencil. (Refer to diagram at top of page.) To mark the location of the back hole, cut a strip of paper to the same measurement as the circumference of the pipe. Fold the strip of paper in half, and mark this spot with a pencil. Align the spot with the center front thread, and where the ends of the paper meet in back of the flute is where you mark for the center of the back hole. |
(10) | Use a 10mm drill bit to open the holes. |
(11) | Use sandpaper to smooth all the newly cut
or filed surfaces, including the fingerholes.
Wrap sandpaper around a wooden block for
straight edges, and around a pencil for round
edges. Use very fine sandpaper to round away
a very small amount from the inside of the
mouthpiece, as shown in diagram 11. (The
final depth of the mouthpice indentation
should be around 3mm.) Your PVC shakuhachi is finished! |
(12) Respective scales for the 1.8 (upper) and
1.6 (lower). |

"Flee" is an animated movie made by filmmaker Jonas Rasmussen. The film takes the viewer into a vibrant deep-dive in the life experiences of Amin, an Afghan refugee who fled his war torn country to get to Europe.
There are, especially for a doctor in psychiatry, multiple events of great value regarding how the life of a refugee affects mental health and wellbeing. How past experiences can make you struggle to dance flawlessly in interpersonal relations in a world that is unknown to you. Loss of roots is perhaps undervalued for most people living in safe countries.
Firstly Amin says that a home is a permanent place. Throughout the movie his past memories of his childhood in Afghanistan, time spent with his family and friends are knocking on the door of his conscious mind. That is the first point; your childhood with both its happy and unfortunate moments will stay with you and shape you in many ways.
What is further interesting is the core-family strength; the emotional and practical need of each other, sacrificing your own wellbeing for that of your parents and siblings - even taking steps that are beneficial for your own future will be put at stake.
The process of separation from your known place and re-integration into a new society is clearly outlined in Flee. Re-integrational processes may be stagnated due to cultural differences, own value system and fear of lack of acceptance along with loneliness, language barriers and past traumas. Alongside the emotional luggage filled with strong emotions such as anger, sorrow and fear.
At the same time we witness that Amir´s sexual orientation, which he hid earlier, was indeed accepted by both his family and by people in his newly settled life in the West.
Furthermore there is no doubt in my mind that the short term and long term effects of traumatic events will affect mental health, the way a refugee looks at life and will cause limitations. For instance, Amir experienced humiliation during his flight; he saw how inhumane human traffickers are and how they take advantage of people in a dire situation.
The need to approach refugees with warmth and respect, and aim to provide stability cannot be emphasized enough. These first bricks will lay the foundation for how well newly arrived refugees will be dedicated, motivated and sincere in the integration process.
Lastly we should keep in mind that refugees are humans just like us with hope, dreams and a set of their own potentials and strengths.
If accepted, given proper opportunities and psychiatric help they will most likely become a resource. They are fully capable of learning new languages, and even if they do not master our language in the beginning, that does not make them any less worthy of respect than the rest of us.

Yuka Saso makes slight move; Bianca Pagdanganan stuck at 2-under
MANILA, Philippines—Yuka Saso continued to improve on her form while Bianca Pagdanganan further slid down the table in round 3 of the women's golf competition of the Tokyo Olympics Friday at Kasumigaseki Country Club.
Saso fired a four-under par 67 and climbed 14 spots to 20th place, but her 4-under aggregate in the tournament might not have enough push to throttle her up the leaderboard as blistering low scores continued to mark the competition.
Saso still trailed the leader, American Nelly Korda, by a whopping 11 strokes going into the final round. The reigning US Women's Open champion, however, was within six shots of a group at 10-under, the score currently sitting at third place.
Saso, who teed off at hole 10, bogeyed at the start of the round but finished strong in the back nine hitting birdies in holes 17 and 18.
The reigning US Women's Open then had a steady run in the front nine hitting while hitting birdies in holes 3 and 8.
While Saso found her stroke, Pagdanganan failed to cash in on a blistering start to her day. She was three-under for the day through 10 holes–five under for the tournament–but sputtered with double bogeys on 11 and 14 and a bogey on 15. She managed to birdie holes 13 and 18 for a second straight even 71.
Pagdanganan was still mired at 2-under for the tournament. That may have been enough to keep her in the top 10 after the first round, but with several other golfers in the field hitting it low over the past two days, Pagdanganan dropped to 29th.
Unless a storm gets in the way, the fourth round tees off on Saturday.

- Trainings on topics like implicit bias
- Community-wide conversations
- Assessments of a community's equity practices
- Stipends that allow community members to participate in local equity work

Despite recent rain and snowfall, much of Central Oregon is still experiencing drought.
Gov. Tina Kotek declared a drought emergency in Deschutes and Grant counties on Friday. The declarations free up emergency funds for people impacted by low levels of water.
Central Oregon has long been one of the driest regions in the state, and streamflows remain low there. The John Day River basin in Grant County has a streamflow that's just 39% of average, according to a statement from the governor's office.
Government bodies in both counties that monitor drought sent requests to the governor's office this month seeking the emergency declarations.
Snowpacks in both counties are above historic levels, but officials say the snow will only provide temporary relief this spring as it melts.
Since taking office, Kotek has acknowledged Oregon has several protracted issues around water, including drought and groundwater contamination in parts of the state.
A January audit by the Oregon Secretary of State's office noted that the state needs to develop better communication and planning around water usage if it hopes to break the cycle of water shortages each spring and summer.

Politics and religion don't mix – unless you live in the United States on the 4th of July. And really, we may ought to view religion as a form of politic. After all people who claim to follow Jesus, the Christ make collective decisions. The question under consideration is how or what informs those decisions. In the South, in the United States, it is common for many to view "God and Country" as one conflated notion. That is, to celebrate God is to celebrate Country and to celebrate Country is to celebrate God.
Everywhere we turn Christian-ese is used to prop up a sense of "turning the nation around." One problem, as I see it, is the church as a community in the Way of Jesus needs a bit of turning around before it begins to tell a nation which way to go. If turning around is a good definition of repentance – that is turning around and heading the other direction, then my hope is that this Sunday local communities of faith will turn around from the thought of turning their time of celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus into a celebration of our national heritage.
It is not that I am not for America or proud to be American. It is just that for those of us who have turned around at the call of Jesus to follow, we understand our allegiance to be to King Jesus. Bob Hyatt, of Evergreen Church in Portland, tweeted this week that Jesus brings an end to nationalism. He offered,
Any community committed to making decisions around the Way of Jesus will practice a politic that informs how they will view the world – not with pride or prejudice but with the hopefulness of the fulfilled promise of God in Jesus, the Christ.
The Lectionary texts for this Sunday stand in an interesting juxtaposition to Independence Day in America. The Psalmist admits to the pride of prosperity. Naaman in 2 Kings demonstrates the pride of a commander when Elisha fails to meet his traveling party. Paul asserts a level playing field for the community of Christ followers as all are on the ready to do good to all as they have occasion, especially those in the household of faith. And finally, the sent disciples were not to respond with great verbal jabs to those who failed to receive them or their word but to shake the dust from their feet in a non-violent statement suggesting those who lacked hospitality don't know just how close the Kingdom of God came near. We cannot lose sight of the young slave girl who bore witness to the power of YHWH when it would have been far easier to enjoy the suffering of her captor. Love overcomes pride and prejudice. And it is the ethic of love that should be the formative politic for the Christian community of faith.
8 comments on "Pride and Prejudice – Thoughts from the Edge"
You have a job as a pastor in a sourthern state?!
I get frustrated with folks who think that if you're not a foaming-at-the-mouth, Fox-News-adoring, gun-toting, "Uh-merika's #1" 'patriot' then you need to pack up and move to Canada or something.
I'm also proud to be an American. I do feel blessed (most of the time). But no more loved or valued by my Creator than my brothers and sisters in any other country around the globe.
Todd, I could not agree more. Have been chewing on this for awhile. Thanks for expressing so effectively.
Good stuff Todd.
Todd – If memory serves, one of the interesting observations Jacob Taube makes in his "The Political Theology of Paul" is the tension between the Apostle Paul's "universalist" trajectory and the more "nationalist" perspective of the Apostles and early Christians in Israel. According to Taube, the notion that the Gospels were something uniquely for Jews and exclusive of Gentiles was pervasive both in Jerusalem and in the synagogues throughout the Roman Empire where Paul presented his message.
In other words, to be a Christian required that one also be a Jew, in the minds of many, if not most, in the early Church, as can be gleaned from numerous NT passages Paul's unequivocal assertion that "in Christ" there is neither Jew nor Gentile, was a radical position and, if we accept Taube's reading, the source of Paul's anxiety about traveling to Jerusalem with the contributions raised for the poor, where he no doubt anticipated friction, if not a public challenge to his calling as an Apostle.
Substitute the image of American Christians chanting "U.S.A.! U.S.A.!" and anathemizing all those who refuse to do likewise in defense of the universality of the Gospel, and you have our current problem in a nutshell.

No heating/ hot water, OS ways to cope
Posts: 434 Forumite
Today our combi boiler has broken and, according to the engineer, is beyond repair so no heating or hot water. The only other form of heat we have is an inefficient 2kw electric fire in our lounge. It's going to take some time to get quotes and organise a replacement so we'd welcome OS ideas on how we can keep warm and manage hot water in the meantime. Our first thoughts are extra clothes, blankets, hot water bottles for warmth and kettle and pans for hot water. Any advice and suggestions would be most welcome.

Do you have any cookers?The person who has not made a mistake, has made nothing0
When we had this problem a few Decembers ago we...
Used Glenn electric heater for warmth (moved it from room to room with us!)
Boiled water in the kettle and put in the bathroom sink, mixed with cold water to the right temperature and used a jug to pour it over us as a "shower" (we happened to have two kettles and timing plugs so set the kettles to boil first thing so I could have my "shower" as soon as I got up)
TBH those two actions solved the biggest problems. We were without a boiler for about a week but coped fine. If you don't have a Glenn heater then maybe ask on freecycle or see if you can borrow one from someone.Must get organised and rejoin grocery challenge!0 -
hi, we have been without heating for 19 days now,we have dishwasher and electric shower ,so thats helped
we had a extra kettle upstairs for getting washed
a flask by both kettles for extra hot water when kettle boiled for cleaning in kitchen ect
using heatbags to keep hands warm always sitting under a throw
but bought a small fan heater
good luck
we got a fixed price repair with 1 year full after care as we did know the part cost more than the whole fixed price they are fitting part on tues fingers crossed0 -
The obvious ones as you've said and.....
Have you got any fleecy blankets/throws? Put one over the sheet on your bed, keeps you extra warm with an extra duvet on top - hot water bottle a necessity!
Have you got a gas cooker/hob? Put on, shut kitchen door and it will warm up fairly quickly - obviously you can't leave unattended (hob anyway) but it will help if you're going to be in that room.
If you're cold when sitting, put on scarf/hat - may feel silly but a lot of heat is lost out of your head (throw over knees etc).
Sounds like you don't have an electric shower (like me) which makes getting warm/clean a nightmare - could you pop round to neighbours/family/friends?
Hot drinks - frequently. These warm you from the inside.Grocery Challenge £211/£455 (01/01-31/03)

Thanks for the replies so far. We have an electric cooker in the kitchen but that room is small and cold at the best of times, so we couldn't spend time in there other than preparing meals. Our shower runs off the domestic boiler so it looks like kettle strip-washes for us. Fortunately we have no young children still at home - just a 19 year old who is mortified at not being able to shower each day and declares that the house is "freezing". We have 2 hot water bottles and a wheat bag and lots of blankets/sleeping bags to snuggle under. Will get on to collecting quotes straight away but have a feeling that it will take a while to gather them and get the work done so we need to work out ways to manage the situation for as long as it lasts. Just hope we don't get another really cold spell meanwhile.....
'Live simply so that others may simply live'0 -
is there any chance you could borrow some sort of heater from friends or family? if you have a really cold spell it might be a good idea to set up base in one room - say the living room - and keep that heated as much as you can.
have you family nearby who would let you use their shower? and as you said, hot water bottles, fleece blankets, an extra layer of clothing, kettles and pans for hot water;... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

I've lived in some perishing places in my time and I find it helps to wear a hat indoors (and you can also generate some extra heat by laughing at how silly the others look; you, of course, will look adorable and not silly at all!) I'm typing this with a fleece throw rug knotted sarong-style over my proper clothes as I got chilled to the bone earlier and it's helping. All the other suggestions are the ones I would have made, too. It's not good but it won't be forever and think how blissful it'll be when it's all fixed.Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness.

If you are a member of a gym you could shower there - maybe investigate short term free membership if you can find some - wasn't there something in this week's newsletter? Otherwise, pay to use the pool at a leisure centre - you don't have to swim, just use the showers if someone gets desperate!
Also ask on freecycle for heaters if you can't borrow from friends or family.Trust me - I'm NOT a doctor!0 -
When strip washing/showering I prefer to have my water in a clean Washing up bowl. Stays warmer longer and you have clean rinsing water.
As everyone has said layer clothes, wear hats scarves etc, hot drinks and hot water bottles, MOVE! a brisk few minutes on the spot can really help. Eat regularly as you can really feel the cold more when you haven't recently eaten. If you have pets - use them. Our cats are perfect hot water bottles. Seal off unused rooms, use plently of curtains over doors, always shut all curtains at dusk, throw blankets over all chairs/sofas - helps with drafts.
Don't know if I can remember anything else at the mo.Put the kettle on.0 -
Eat everything hot. Even cereal have heated milk on - really helps me.
Try to have people round - the more bodies the warmer a place.Put the kettle on.0

Beretta is all fired up
Fabbrica d'armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A. is an internationally renowned Italian firearm manufacturer supplying firearms extensively to civilians, law enforcement bodies, and militaries around the world.
The company is among the world's oldest and most respected corporations, having been owned and operated by the same family for nearly 500 years. Established originally in 1526 by gunsmith Mastro Bartolomeo Beretta, it is currently owned by direct descendent Ugo Gussalli Beretta with the running of the company in the hands of his sons Franco and Pietro.
The company is part of the Beretta Holding Group, which encompasses key manufacturers of field and competition firearms and optics, as well as trading and distribution companies in Italy and abroad, with a total workforce of 2700 and a total annual turnover of 400 million euros. The Group's oldest company, Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta, has been handed down over 15 generations and has a turnover of 140 million euros. "Our customers are law enforcement bodies, the military, and hunters in the commercial markets around the world," says Pietro Beretta, vice president and CEO. "The military accounts for about 1.5 per cent of sales, eight per cent is law enforcement and the large remainder is comprised of hunting and outdoor sports. Our manufacturing facilities are situated mainly in Europe – in Italy, Finland and Spain – and we have two plants in the US as well as one in Turkey."
Almost 500 years of working activity have enriched Beretta with enormous experience in the precision mechanics of portable firearms. From the turn of the 20th century to the present day, Beretta's production facilities have grown from 10,000 to over 76,000 square metres and Beretta currently produces around 1500 pieces each day. Around 90 per cent of production consists of sporting firearms and 75 per cent of its arms are exported to 100 countries. Beretta supplies firearms to Italy's armed and police forces as well as law enforcement units such as the Spanish Guardia Civil and the Turkish Police Force. In 1985, Beretta was chosen to produce the M9 9mm Parabellum sidearm for the US military, winning a contract for 500,000 units, which has been continued with numerous follow-up orders. Beretta's extensive US plant in Maryland produces pistols for the military, law enforcement and civilian markets in the US.
In the early 1990s, Beretta began to supplement its traditional sporting guns with a complete range of accessories and apparel for hunting, clay shooting and outdoor sports. This hugely successful clothing and accessories line is sold in gun retailers across Europe and America, as well as through the Shop in Shop chain worldwide, netting Beretta over 23 million euros annually.
Beretta's sustained success is a result of carefully combining traditional products with modern upgrades, its customer-oriented service, ongoing technological improvement and efficient manufacturing methods. Pietro believes the Beretta family is a key factor in the company's overwhelming longevity: "I think our success is partially due to being owned by a family that reinvests the largest percentage of its profits every year in improving quality and keeping products up-to-date. Investing significantly in production also allows us to maintain manufacturing efficiency and ensure we always have the best technology in our facilities. For Beretta's development up until now, being family owned has been very important."
Beretta's activities in the vast range of field, competition and military firearms have brought the company global recognition for its broad product range that includes side-by-side shotguns, overand- under shotguns, self-loading shotguns, hunting rifles, express rifles, assault rifles, submachine guns, lever-action rifles, single-action revolvers, double-action revolvers and pistols. Beretta products have a reputation for being well made, durable and dependable. The company's recently launched AL291 Urika 2 is the fastest and most reliable semiautomatic operating system on the market, and the Px4 Storm provides maximum firepower in any special duty situation. "The Urika 2 is designed for use in hunting," explains Pietro. "Our intention was to create a very modern semiautomatic shotgun with new features that are in keeping with traditional characteristics, making it ideal for hunters. Our new Beretta Px4 Strom .45 Special Duty is the most advanced sidearm of its kind in the world, and we think that law enfor ement bodies will appreciate its performance and functionality."
Owing to its exceptional reputation and unwavering commitment to developing new products, Beretta's market position is very strong: "The market for Beretta is continuously improving, as is the law enforcement business worldwide," comments Pietro. "Eastern Europe and Russia have becoming stronger markets, the hunting sector is improving all the time and our scope optics activity is progressing well."
The company's future looks secure as Pietro reveals that Beretta has plans to focus on new areas in order to progress in the future: "In our Group we have a division in the optics business in scope binoculars, which is an area we will expand in the next two years. We also have some interesting new products related to firearms aimed at law enforcement. Development is very important – Beretta is ideally positioned to be developed through acquisitions with investment in foreign countries. For the coming years, I think the main aim is to become the biggest supplier overall for hunters and police officers from guns to clothing, establishing that we are the only company required."

I'm an Audi TT!
You're not the fastest, nor the most nimble, but you're cute and you have style. You're not intensely competitive, but when you pass by, everyone turns to look.
Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.
« Book Group | Main | Brief but Heavy Snowstorm »
I'm a Chevy Corvette. Hummm.
I really love this car. I'd LOVE to have one. My personalized licensed plate would be: "T's TT"
Now I'll go and see what car I'd be. Probably a Geo.
Wow! I'm a Mercedes SLK! How do I rate? (The TT is more "me", though).
I am a Porsche 911. I got close when I bought my Boxster, which I still enjoy, but have always really wanted the 911. They hit the target.
Christ, I'm a Mazda Miata. Isn't that a girl's car? "You like to soak up the sun, but your tastes are down to earth. Everyone thinks you're cute. Life is a winding road, and you like to take the curves in stride. Let other people compete in the rat race - you're just here to enjoy the ride."
You're just in touch with your feminine side, Scott. Chicks dig that. ;-)
Vroom! :)
I'm a Corvette. Which kind of disturbs me.
(Although not as much if it came back "You are a '77 Trans Am.")
Or a Pinto. Any year.

A frustrating day as I didn't hit my writing target for last night so had to stay in to complete this morning meaning I missed the chance to get onto the hills. I also had to drive to Shipley and give forecasts of snow etc. an early afternoon departure to make it over the Pennines in daylight seemed sensible. The M62 was clear but conditions improved as we cleared the moor and coming into Bradford Radio 4 turned to Open Book hosted by Mariella Frostrup which finished with a close reading of a passage in probably the greatest book of comedy in the English Language Cold Comfort Farm. OK you could make a case for Three Men in a Boat and both satirise cultural norms of their day, but Cold Comfort hits so many targets as well as being funny of itself.
If you haven't read it, then, do and don't watch the BBC adaptation or the film until you have read the original, stared passages and all. I won't ruin the plot, and no I don't know if the goat died. But it is one of those books I read every few years and the story tape is a regular entertainment on long drives. The passage chosen I reproduce below. I don't think this is the funniest part of the book, that honour I reserve for Flora's reading of the responses to her request for accommodation from long lost relatives, or maybe the quivering brethren.
In the large kitchen, which occupied most of the middle of the house, a sullen fire burned, the smoke of which wavered up the blackened walls and over the deal table, darkened by age and dirt, which was roughly set for a meal. A snood full of coarse porridge hung over the fire, and standing with one arm resting upon the high mantel, looking moodily down into the heaving contents of the snood, was a tall young man whose riding-boots were splashed with mud to the thigh, and whose coarse linen shirt was open to his waist. The firelight lit up his diaphragm muscles as they heaved slowly in rough rhythm with the porridge.
He looked up as Judith entered, and gave a short, defiant laugh, but said nothing. Judith crossed slowly over until she stood by his side. She was as tall as he. They stood in silence, she staring at him, and he down into the secret crevasses of the porridge.
̒ Well, mother mine, ̓ he said at last, ̒ here I am, you see. I said I would be in time for breakfast, and I have kept my word. ̓
Judith's breath came in long shudders. She thrust her arms deeper into her shawl. The porridge gave an ominous leering heave; it might almost have been endowed with life, so uncannily did its movements keep pace with the human passions that throbbed above it.
̒ Cur, ̓ said Judith, levelly, at last. ̒ Coward! Liar! Libertine! Who were you with last night? Moll at the mill or Violet at the vicarage? Or Ivy, perhaps, at the ironmongery? Seth – my son… ̓ Her deep, dry voice quivered, but she whipped it back, and her next words flew out at him like a lash.
̒ Do you want to break my heart? ̓
̒ Yes, ̓ said Seth, with an elemental simplicity.
The porridge boiled over.
Now I learnt something new from the close reading, namely the phrase that titles this blog. I'm literate and well read but I have never studied literary criticism. For those similar ignorant the phrase pathetic fallacy (to quote wikipedia) is "a literary term for the attributing of human emotion and conduct to all aspects within nature.[1] It is a kind of personification that is found in poetic writing when, for example, clouds seem sullen, when leaves dance, or when rocks seem indifferent." Apparently the meaning of fallacy at the time the term was coined meant falsity rather than a logical error.
It got me thinking about false metaphors between the organisation and the individual or anthropomorphism of objects or ideas in general. I particularly dislike the anthropomorphism of God by both the religious and anti-religious alike but that is for another day. The assumption that an organisation has a brain, body, limbs, stomach etc is very common in management literature, although they generally miss out the rude bits and the digestive system which is a pity. Senge uses it as do others. The problem is that in that sense the body is a closed system with specialised functions. An eco-system (which is closer) is less well differentiated in before maturity lacks specialisation. That gives me an idea for tomorrow. In the mean time it is Sunday, I've suggested a book to read; expect no great profundity, but I have got a new phrase to play with.

"Diseases of want" arise from poverty, while "diseases of plenty" are associated with affluence. Many of the illnesses in each category are avoidable, but stopping them will require a revolutionary change in our approach to medicine.
Diseases of want are avoidable because poverty is avoidable. We have the technical expertise to eliminate extreme poverty simply by sharing information, generating relevant skills, and redistributing a small fraction of economic resources. Our failure to overcome diseases of want thus reflects not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack of will. And it is this unwillingness, not the diseases themselves, that we must address.
By contrast, diseases of plenty – such as obesity, tobacco-related illnesses, depression, diabetes, and various types of cancer – arise because our affluent lifestyles make us ill. Such illnesses also are avoidable, but again, we lack the will to conquer them. They occur because our approach to medicine is fundamentally wrong. Once we have understood this, we will be better able to tackle diseases of want as well.
The problem is that modern medicine focuses primarily on treatment rather than prevention. It is supposedly people's right to live as they choose, and if they fall seriously ill, their health system – doctors, hospital managers, insurers, medical researchers, and many non-medical support staff – is meant to cure them.
If we took an equivalent approach to aviation safety, we would allow anyone to fly airplanes, with or without a license, and would not monitor safety equipment. If a plane crashed, aviation safety personnel would make every effort to save the injured, which would be expensive, given the gravity of the injuries.
Yet, in practice, aviation safety efforts concentrate almost entirely on preventing accidents in the first place. Aircraft are required to be serviced regularly. Weather information is readily available. Pilots and other aviation personnel receive rigorous formal safety training, and strictly enforced rules ensure that a pilot's performance is not impeded by fatigue or alcohol. The industry has many other safeguards, most of which are implemented automatically.

My Cousin's Murderer Walks into the Courtroom
My cousin's murderer walks into the courtroom
in Cuyahoga County, but too, unbidden by me
on channel five "Live Time" suddenly streaming
onto my Facebook page where a crowd pops up
at the chatroom sidebar. "Who's this?" "Guy
who killed the couple in Canton." "He's a monster."
He does not look like a monster.
He looks like a man in a long-sleeved white shirt.
Three judges keep asking if he understands.
He says yes. He does not. I do not.
I want to understand. I loved her. Everyone did.
The chatroom takes on the air of "festive cruelty,"
the virtual take on the prison gate at executions.
Instead of posters, postings: "Get out
Old Sparky." "Fry him. Fry him," they type.
"I want to see him fry," says the woman who first
said to me that she is a Christian.
They want my cousin's death compounded
with their interest. They believe a third death
will even things up—a "necrophilic, insensible" belief,
Unamuno called the crowd's cheering for death itself.
Her life was matchless and yet, the judges give them
what they want, a death sentence. It should be criminal.

Building a range-topping car considered as a successor to the legendary McLaren F1 was always going to be a struggle for McLaren with its P1. However, because the McLaren P1 isn't a true successor to the McLaren F1 as it doesn't have the top speed focus, it can appropriately be considered as a standalone supercar among the next-generation of hybrid powered supercars like the LaFerrari and Porsche 918 Spyder.
Limited to just 375 examples, McLaren Automotive has finally confirmed that the McLaren P1 has official sold out. The final handful of P1s allocated in Europe were said to be the last filled.
After McLaren brought the stunning McLaren P1 to Pebble Beach which also saw a McLaren F1 sell for $8.47 million, North American sales rose possibly because prospective customers saw just how much value could be gained in the long run by purchasing the company's flagship. Additionally, reports suggesting that the McLaren P1 lapped the Nurburgring in under 7 minutes is said to have prompted the final round of sales.
A number of tech features make the McLaren P1 a very fast car. Cutting straight to the figures, the McLaren P1 will travel from zero to 100km/h in less than 3 seconds, zero to 200km/h in under 7 seconds, and zero to 300km/h in no more than 17 seconds. This is thanks, in part to the Instant Power Assist System (IPAS) which is essentially KERS, for road cars. Putting the 300km/h statistic into perspective, this is 11 seconds faster than the legendary McLaren F1 road car. Top speed is electronically limited to 350km/h.

A new building for the Selawik tribal store was expected to open its doors to customers on Nov. 1, three years after the old store burned down.
After the fire destroyed the old building in 2020, the Selawik tribe moved the store to a small 50-year-old Quonset hut and sold only a limited array of products, said Tribal Administrator of the Native Village of Selawik Tanya Ballot.
The new tribally owned and operated store will offer fresh produce, dry goods and clothing, Ballot said. The store will continue to be the sole fuel source in the community, she said.
"We are excited to be opening and finally able to provide the necessary food and dry goods our community needs," Ballot said.
After the fire, the tribe resumed building the new store -- a long-term project first started about 14 years ago, Ballot said. Back in 2006, the tribe installed the thermal pilings at the site, and in 2012, a steel building was purchased from Olympia Steel in Philadelphia.
Eight construction workers led by Edward Loon Sr. completed the new store during the pandemic.
A grand opening ceremony will happen on Friday, Ballot added.

Agencies report challenges with threat intelligence and detection
Sixty-three percent of public sector respondents said they struggled to leverage data to detect and prevent threats, compared to 49% of private sector respondents. The public sector was also more likely to struggle to mitigate cybersecurity events (66% of public respondents vs. 56% of private sector respondents).
Public sector respondents cite several reasons for these shortcomings, including skill gaps, lack of resources, and lack of visibility into the threat landscape.
Research shows that the biggest barrier to public sector cybersecurity priorities and mandates is budget. Nearly 80% of his public sector respondents said the budget is hindering their ability to address these areas. His 2023 comprehensive spending package, recently signed by President Joe Biden, provides significant funding for cybersecurity, including his $1.3 billion into the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency's (CISA) cybersecurity program. shows a significant increase, increasing his $230 million year-over-year. fed scoop.
When it comes to threat intelligence, 44% of public sector respondents say there is a lack of shared cybersecurity intelligence available, compared to 29% of private sector respondents. Kovar, who has worked in both the public and private sectors, said these figures could be a result of the public sector knowing what it lacks and the private sector not realizing all the possibilities. I'm assuming there is.
"I had a lot more intelligence when I was in the public sector than I was in the private sector," says Kovar. "I wonder if part of it is that people know how much they can have, but they can't do it because they lack resources. And they don't know what the private sector can do." how much?"
In November, the General Services Administration acknowledged this and took steps to address it. On behalf of CISA, the GSA has submitted a request for information regarding the availability of threat intelligence enterprise services to assist the agency in developing its threat intelligence capabilities. CISA cites fragmented threat intelligence as one of the existing barriers in the federal cyber ecosystem seen across the threat intelligence lifecycle.
look: These new threat indicators help improve federal cybersecurity.
How data limits increase the disconnect between public and private
According to the report, these data challenges limit the ability of both sectors to share information with each other and hinder collaboration between public and private organizations. Findings suggest that organizations in both sectors are much more likely to share intelligence within their sector than across sectors.
That said, the two sectors were in agreement about what kinds of insights and information to share were important.
- Threat intelligence and actors (69% public, 63% private)
- Real-time information on security events (60% public, 69% private)
- Cybersecurity training materials and best practices (79% public, 68% private)
- Benchmark data (36% public, 31% private)
Kovar said the disconnect comes from the fact that the two divisions have different challenges and capabilities.
"You'll see people agree on goals, but how they're implemented and executed will differ between the public and private sectors," he says. It means that the department has an obligation to help citizens, not to make a profit, and that's a very big difference."
Looking ahead, the most common cybersecurity investments among public sector respondents included monitoring/alerts, threat intelligence, and security assessments.
