Christmas Market in the sun
What images comes to your mind when you think of a Christmas Market ? The smell of mulled wine, vanilla and cinnamon ? Millions of Christmas decorations and the sound of Christmas carols ? Cold ? Snow ?
And what to do if you live on a Mediterranean island and on the 15th of December you have blue sky, sunshine and 18 degrees temperatures ? Well, you still get into the Christmas spirit, put on your shoes (no boots, no fur coat and no gloves) and you go on the Christmas Market to enjoy the wine, the carols, the decor and...the sunshine.
This is how a Christmas Market looks like, when organized in a Mediterranean harbor. We have visited the one in Puerto Portals, which will stay open until the 5th of January. Live music, children workshops, school concerts, Santa Claus, the Three kings Parade...there is something for everyone.

Angie Greenup Hosts, with Additional Appearances by Ken Marino, Christine Willes, Rick Gonzalez and Series Creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas
(SANTA MONICA, CA – APRIL 29, 2013) – FEARnet's REAPER reunion special was shot on Wednesday, April 24, at the Medusa Lounge in Los Angeles. In attendance for the special—hosted by TV and web personality Angie Greenup—were series stars Ray Wise, Tyler Labine and Bret Harrison, as well as Rick Gonzalez, Ken Marino, Christine Willes and series creators Tara Butters and Michele Fazekas.
The reunion special will air on Tuesday, May 28, setting the stage for REAPER's FEARnet debut on Tuesday, June 4, at 9 p.m. ET/6 p.m. PT, as part of the Network's Twisted Comedy block, which also features the FEARnet original half-hour comedy series HOLLISTON. Additionally, the special will be available for viewing on the FEARnet website starting Friday, May 31st, and VOD on Saturday, June 1st. It will air again on the Network on Tuesday, June 4, at 8:30 p.m. ET. FEARnet has licensed both seasons of the hour-long series, for a complete 31 episode order.
Four years later, the wildly popular cult hit still enjoys a rabid fanbase—many of whom feel the series was cancelled much too soon. These same fans will be delighted to see their favorite stars brought together, once again, as the amiable cast openly discusses many behind-the-scenes anecdotes and stories from their time on set. The cast's favorite memories—such as Sock's lusty encounter with Gladys; the creators' insider info that comedic icon Louis C.K. originally auditioned for the part of the Devil; and whether or not the team would be open to a Kickstarter campaign to resurrect REAPER, are just a few of the things fans can expect to glean from the special.
"I'm so happy that FEARnet is doing this," said Ray Wise, who played the Devil on REAPER. "It really warms my heart having us all back together again."
The quirky series focuses on the life of Sam Oliver (Harrison), a college drop-out who, on his 21st birthday, learns that he now must work as a bounty hunter for the Devil (Wise), as part of a deal made many years ago when Sam's parents offered up their firstborn son in exchange for good health for the ailing father. Tyler Labine (TUCKER & DALE VS. EVIL) and Rick Gonzalez (COACH CARTER) play Sam's slacker friends who help him in his new secret double-life of 'reaping' souls, using a Dirt Devil vacuum cleaner, as well as other modern household items.
REAPER is a production of ABC Studios and the Mark Gordon Company. The series was executive produced by Michele Fazekas (ED, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT), Tara Butters (ED, LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT), Mark Gordon (GREY's ANATOMY, CRIMINAL MINDS), Deb Spera (CRIMINAL MINDS,) Tom Spezialy (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES) and iconic filmmaker Kevin Smith (CLERKS, JAY AND SILENT BOB STRIKE BACK), who also directed the pilot.

I just completed a video documentary of the of Tummy Tuck and Belly Dancing. This was a fortuitous event.
I document my patients' problems and the effects of how the tissues move after surgery. Videos are much better than still pictures to demonstrate the problem and effectiveness of the solution. I then added years ago recording the emotional impact of the problem and surgical solution.
During my normal documentation, I noticed that my patient was trying out her new stomach muscles very early on in her healing. You can see that in the first video component at 2 weeks. At later sections (1 month and 3 months after surgery) I incorporated questions on her belly dancing progress. The unfortunate issue was that by not knowing that she had a serious hobby of belly dancing before, I had not known to document the distorted motions that her loose skin and muscles while dancing. She had avoided videos herself before the surgery because of her dislike of what it looked like. The belly roll evolution from right after surgery to 3 months is the only such video of the healing after tummy tuck surgery in a belly dancer that I know of.
She did her first solo dance at 3 1/2 months after surgery and sent me the video. Unfortunately, that video shows her costume and face and she has not given me permission to link to it. The expressions on her face were a great pleasure to watch.
Following the above link you can find details about her original complain for loose tissues after pregnancy and weight loss with the before and after pictures. There are her other links to videos of her experiences after surgery. The 6 day after surgery video was done with her compression garment for comfort issues.
Hope this helps,
Michael Bermant, MD

Hook: G
Mods: did 10 repeats of the square because there wasn't enough to do 11 repeats, crocheted the squares together using the chain stitch areas of the last rows of each square
Comments: nice yarn to work with, but a bit scratchy on my neck – nice and easy pattern
More fetching …
Yarn: Classic alpaca
color: black
Needles: US6
Mods: none this time, pattern is perfect as is…
Blue Beret (One day beret from Between the Loops)

Comments: wonderful yarn and easy pattern
Right now, I'm still working on the poinelle socks, MIL clogs. I'm also going to start a market bag in some yarn I won in a contest.
Other than that, we are still chugging along – waiting to hear about the next round of budget cuts. Bug is getting bigger by the minute… and loves to dress up.

Hello Everyone and welcome to my first blog post. I was thinking about the content and direction of this blog and thought: "Let's make this a fun blog where people get a little more insight about me and what I do.". So let's get started!
I am not going to post any photos here today, I am just going to write. I am not going to worry about proper grammar, spelling, punctuation and whatnot...but I think you will still get my message. I am going to allow comments so feel free to comment, ask questions, etc.
I am feeling a bit frustrated at this moment because I spent about an hour typing away and didn't hit save! Now I am starting again. So for those of you who don't know me well, I will give you some background info on how I got into photography...stay with me--I promise to entertain!
Alright...it started in 1984. Took a drawing class and hated how long it took to make an image. My drawing of the Fresno State Library took 4 hours and still didn't look right. (Napoleon Dynamite could do better). I did learn about perspective and composition though. In 1985, I was given a "point and shoot" film camera by my father just prior to a semeter abroad in England. I caught the bug there and came home where others encouraged me to continue.
Still with me? I then took a "photojournalism 101" at Fresno State from a wonderful man named Greg Lewis who was tall, lanky and had big feet. Anyway, he got me excited about the darkroom, looking at light and shadows and how the camera worked.
After graduation, I landed a job in the bay area from a Department Store photo company. The woman that hired and trained me is still my friend today. Thank you Marquita (who still photographs today and works at Apple store at Arden and who you should buy a Mac from). That was a fun job--I learned about working with all sorts of people and personalities and how to pose them. But the camera and the lights never moved so after about two years there it was time to move on.
Next I got a job working for a Master Photographer. I worked in the back room prepping orders for the lab and assembling wedding albums (I was too hideous to be seen by customers). Got some great experience here and learned how to shoot weddings and portraits on location. Right around this time I was also going to school in San Francisco at the Academy of Arts College and taking photo classes there.
Over the next few years, I had various jobs working in picture framing and photo labs and I started shooting my own jobs and getting paid (a little) for it. In 1993, I started my own photography business "Thomas Photography" and worked from home while also working at Garrett Photography in Roseville. Monty Garrett was my mentor when it comes to working with kids and he taught me a lot. I photograph some small preschools now and do a fine job with them thanks to what Monty taught me. "What did he teach you?" you ask? He taught me to talk to the kids, say some silly things so they forgot a camera was pointing at them. My favorite game to play with the kids is to tell them there are animals in my camera and if they hear animal sounds it is coming from inside the camera. This works well on 3-5 year olds. I don't recommend trying it on adults.
In 1995 I took my photo business full time photographing weddings, preschools and families. I started doing senior portraits a few years later. Today, my business hasn't changed much. Oh yes I use digital cameras now and I have a website, Facebook and look, a blog! The business climate has changed a lot though and many photographers quit, retired or got left behind when the internet and digital cameras came around.
I remember in 2000 when I was photographing a wedding and everyone was huddled around someone's laptop. That someone (a guest) had taken digital photos with a new point and shoot camera and everyone was able to see them on his laptop just a few minutes later. I looked at my big film camera and realized then and there that it's days were numbered. Two years later, I was completely digital.
Today, I work from home in Elk Grove. My small space here is used for production, headshots, projection for sales and a place for me gather my thoughts to write this blog. Did I mention you can post comments here? Please do so I know that someone other than my family and friends reads this. Thanks for reading this far and put me amongst your "favorites" so you can return from time to time to see what I am up to.

One thing I did this week was revisit some of the first posts I ever wrote on this blog, way back in 2007. I so enjoyed reading them; they took me back to that moment in time and reminded me of so many details that I had forgotten about... I haven't been regularly writing these days; hardly as often as I would like to. Mental fatigue and laziness are purely to blame. I need to do better, and will start now.
The last post I wrote (not counting the one on the Portland Marathon course) was a week ago. Since then, not much has been going on. My life is pretty much up at 5:17 am, run, work, watch the Giants on TV, sleep and repeat. Seriously.
And while I track my workout data, they don't really tell the story behind them. So in the interest of documenting stuff so I can come back in read them again later, indulge me while I do a recap:
Monday Still tired and queasy from Sunday's run, I went out for 4-miles. In my head, I felt like these were the 4-miles I wasn't able to finish on Sunday so I attacked them. It took about a mile to warmed-up, but once I did, I felt pretty good. Finished with each mile faster than the one before.
That night I went to yoga. We had a sub who practices Forest Yoga. I didn't feel like going, but I forced myself to go, and was so glad I went. I don't really understand what Forest Yoga is, but we did traditional yoga poses, but focused on completely relaxing the neck. There was a lot of emphasize on listening and connecting with your body, kinda like a healing philosophy. Personally, I prefer restorative yoga and sometimes Hatha yoga is a little too much for me. This was a nice balance of both.
Tuesday Early morning work meetings called and I wasn't able to get out for my usual 6 am run. My chiro visits after work leave me too sore to run afterward them, so my only option was to run in the afternoon. I worked out of San Jose that day and ventured out at 2:30 pm (the hottest time of the day) to the Guadalupe Trail right behind my office building. Needless to say the lack of shade made it quite desolate. I ended up doing half of the planned 6 miles. Considering the heat, I was pretty damn proud of those 3.5 miles.
Wednesday I was never so happy to have a day of rest. I normally would have gone to my 6 am Strength & Conditioning class at the gym, but my body was worn out and for once, I listened to it and did nothing. Actually, I slept in, which is just as important as a workout. In fact, I got 8.5 hours of sleep. Unheard of for me! I also had another chiro appointment. Two days of chiro work in a row leaves me sore, but good sore.
Thursday I was up at 5:17 am again for a scheduled 5-mile run @ 9:20 min/mile pace. Admittedly, as I made my bed, I was tempted to crawl back in and get another couple of hours of zzzzz. I had stayed up late to watch the So You Think You Can Dance finale (my most favorite summer show ever!). The only thing that motivated me was that it would be my first run in my new Pearl Izumi syncroFuel shoes. It turned out to be a great run! I ended up running the whole thing with an overall pace of 9:01 min/mile with 2 sub 9-min/miles. That is unusually fast for me. It must be the shoes!
That evening, after work, I went to the gym and spent some time in the whirlpool. I've found that if I can spend some time there at least once a week, it really helps me out. Although my time limit in it is 10-minutes max. Its boring and too hot...I don't like heat.
Friday That great run on Thursday left me really sore on Friday morning, especially in the usual area that's been bothering me - the inside of my left shin. Since I had 18-miles scheduled for Saturday, I didn't push myself at all, and was just happy to get the 4-miles done and out of the way.
After last week's digestive debacle I knew I had to be careful about what I ate on Friday night. My usual pre-long run dinner is a salmon crepe and breakfast potatoes, but I was tired of it and wanted something different. I'd been craving honey-wheat pizza crust, so I got a BBQ chicken pizza from CPK. I also skipped the fro-yo that I'd been having every night before bed.
Saturday I had a non-committed goal of being out the door at my usual 6 am time, but who was I kidding. It was Saturday and didn't happen. I still woke up at 5:30 am, but vegged out for about a half hour, then had a bowl of granola for breakfast. In hindsight, I should've ate more because by the end of the 18-miles I was starving.
The run itself went fine. I had sore, super tired legs from running 6 days in the past week (something I'd never done before), but there were no digestive issues. It was actually kinda like an out-of-body experience, where I knew I was running, but it didn't quite feel like it was me. I really spaced out on the first 5-miles. Every time I thought I was running faster, I realized I was going slower. Really weird feeling. I ran my same 5-mile loop 3 and a half times. I know that sounds really boring, but I wanted to be close to home in case I fell apart again. In all honesty, it wasn't boring at all. I've gotten to know the walkers, runners, bicyclists, and even dogs that frequent the loop so I spent most of the time (after the first 5 miles) waving hi to everyone. Its a real pick-me-up when they actually say hi back.
Around Mile 9 my legs were so damn tired, and I had no idea how I was going to run another 9 miles. But somehow, I did (again, must've been my new magic shoes). The last 3 miles were the worst. I wanted it to be over so badly; I was so hungry!
When I was done, I walked home, stretched a little, then laid sprawled out on the living room floor. I propped my legs up on a chair and just laid there for about 30 minutes (still hungry). I should've taken an ice bath, but more than anything I just wanted to get cleaned up so I took a cold shower, then finally ate some food. Leftover pizza and a cobb salad I had ordered the night before with the pizza.
Knowing I'd be tired after the run, I passed up on 2 sets of tickets to the Giants game, one being Club Level behind home plate. AND, it was a huge weekend series vs the first place Padres. Yeah, don't say I'm not dedicated to this training thing. I justified my decision with the fact that I was going to a charity event being hosted by Matt Cain after the game. Too bad I was too beat to make the drive to the City. So to justify missing the charity event, I made plans to have dinner at the Ritz in Half Moon Bay. Yeah, that didn't happen either. I was in bed by 9:30 pm (on a Saturday night!), but thankfully got another solid night of sleep.
Sunday They say Sunday is a day of rest, and I could not have been more restful. It was pretty much a fat dog day of watching Niners football, Giants baseball, and a Sonny/Brenda marathon on Soapnet. Awesome.
So ends another week of training...and another one starts tomorrow.
Random shots that I took on my run:
* These birds greet me every morning.
* Then they cross the lagoon and wait for me on the other side...I swear! They gawk at me every time I run through them. At one point I thought they were going to attack me.
* I took this one for my sister...it kinda says it all...

"If you ask me what the best album of 2015 is, I'd have no hesitation answering with the Superhumanoids' new album; "Do You Feel OK?". It's as if someone took exactly what I liked about music right now and made me a CD. As modest as they are about it when you ask them, it's an incredible album and if you haven't given it a listen yet – do yourself a favor, Jabroni. When we found out we'd be in the same place at the same time on their most recent tour, I had to shoot something with them!"Read More

As in online casinos as in real casinos, there are opportunities and choices you must take. That is why we give you these 5 tips to success in your game.
- 1. The most important, choose and learn everything you can about the game you most like or enjoy. You need to learn every rule of the game and practice every minute you can. Only with a lot of practice you will find out how to increase your chances to win.
- 2. Do not drink. No matter if you are playing online or in a real casino, the worst thing you can do is playing drunk.

- 5. Take risk and try to beat the odds. To every gambler that wants the best, should go for the big games as blackjack, slots or poker. They will have the best odds of all the casino's games.

Who can help me? – Knight of Wands
I'm in need of a bit of a kick up the butt, it seems! I need a shot of energy and enthusiasm, a bit of passion. It doesn't have to be enduring, I don't have to worry about going the distance and making this last me through the year to come. I just need it for now.
As for who that might be in my life, I'm often quite a self-starter. On the other hand, I've been in contact with someone lately who has definitely lit a fire under me, so I think this is her.
What can they help me with? – The Tower
Ack, this card came up in my first draw with this deck, too! (Link is to the unboxing video I posted earlier today) I've recently been considering a slighty different interpretation to the standard. Tower moments challenge me, everything seems to come tumbling down, and I feel I have to start again from scratch. In that regard, it can represent a relapse.
How can this Court help me? – Six of Wands
A man rides a horse, surrounded by other people. He is being seen, he is a role-model. Yet, I wonder how much knowing that affects him. Certainly, for me as a therapist, I feel a strong need to walk my talk. How can I help others if I can't help myself? It's like the old adage about not getting a haircut from a bald guy 😀
Still, that doesn't mean I have to be perfect. Unrealistic expectations help no-one. What it means, to me, is that I have to have the tools to pick myself up again after I've fallen. And part of that may require a bit of a kick in the butt – thank you, Knight of Wands!
As a final gift, I end with a different song playing in my head, looking forward to lighter days ahead: May the Longtime Sun…

On Thursday, October 29th, the DLC brought team development consultant, Tritia Moneypenny to MIIS for a workshop on team building and communication. Tricia facilitated several hands-on activities designed to get participants thinking about how leadership, learning styles, and communication can contribute to greater team synergy.
Activities included the 'Story Rope' exercise, which is a storytelling activity designed to facilitate better communication through connection and understanding. In this activity, participants used rope as a visual aid to illustrate a story they were telling partners. "Having my hands and mind occupied with moving the rope got me out of my head, and I worried less about opening up to new people," said one participant.
Participants also played a game where the whole group had to move a ball using only string attached to a metal ring. "It was interesting how different people have different styles of approaching tasks. Some like to analyze and strategize, while others like to just get in and try things out. For us, it was good to have a balance of both tactics," said another participant.
Effective team work is an important skill both for students engaging in multiple group projects, as well as for professionals in the field. Effective communication and team work is not always intuitive, and all teams and leaders can benefit from developing theses capacities.

You know what really gets to me about religion? Preaching. When someone tells me that I'm going to Hell or simply attempts to insert a god into my life, I get annoyed. I have no problem with people choosing to believe in gods anymore than I have a problem with people believing in the Loch Ness Monster. It really does me no harm as long as they don't interject it into public policy or my life in any other fashion. I view it as, "If they are doing no harm, why bother?" But what's worse than religious preachers are Atheist preachers. We've all seen them. The openly mock people whom are trying to befriend (IE Facebook) them because they have a different viewpoint. They never miss an opportunity to pound their chest about the ills of religion, the stupidity of some of it's positions. "Uh, Sir, your hypocrisy needs to be tucked back into your pants there. It's showing a bit."
I love to argue and debate. I'm not an in the closet Atheist. You'll find me making posts and comments in the public about religion. If a story strikes me as cool, informative, or puts Atheists in a positive light, it goes up on Facebook. But there are those out there that preach the evil of religion to all of their friends. Not on a page that is dedicated to religion, but in front of everyone, every chance they get. They mock belief as if this will incite change. The truth is that they will look at the person mocking and often simply decide that they don't want to be around you. In reality, how is this any different than the actions of Jerry Falwell yelling at anyone who will listen? How is the getting in someone's face about your beliefs different from Fred Phelps telling us to repent now or burn in Hell? Would you suggest that those whom belittle their friends have no vitriol when they say things like, "Adult Fairy-tales" to someone's face without being prompted? Hate is hate, and you should recognize it for what it is.
I have a friend that posts biblical passages all of the time on Facebook. "The redeemer is risen". I don't feel the drive to confront this, but he has another friend that does. I find it abhorrent. I don't get it. Our mutual friend is mellow. He's simply a man of faith. He's invited me to join him for MMA Events because we are mutually fans and we have a long history of getting along just fine. He knows where I stand, and I know where he stands. And? If a debate were to arise, I'm not saying that I won't speak candidly. I'm not saying that I wouldn't discuss religion in-general with him because it would be very interesting. I love doing that over a beer. But what I wouldn't do is preach to him about why he's stupid, childish, or his religion is evil. I wouldn't stand there and tell him why he's a failure. Why would I desire to break someone? Does it bolster my position if everyone thinks like me? Shouldn't my position stand on it's own even if faced with a mob that disagrees? Isn't being a good Ambassador really the way to win people over?
Justification of this behavior causes me to shake my head. Any stretch of the argument that religion dumbs us all down really isn't relevant to the Average Joe Believer. You can point to a Sarah Palin that openly says that we are "taking God out of this country" and note that she's a dumbass. You can point to a Ted Haggard whom said, "I can call the president at any time." and uses that access and influence to direct the country and note that he's a fraud. They have hoisted themselves into the public sector and plan on telling the world what to think. But my friend whom is married to a minister that says "I love being in ministry with ...." deserves no condemnation. They serve a feeling that many feel the need to nurture. It's not any different than Corona making me feel warm and fuzzy. Sure, you could point to Corona's ills, death on the roads, fat guts, broken homes, violence, but isn't it really about how people use it? It's not the product, but the person using it that is the problem.
To those that have sites or pages dedicated to Atheism, I have one that points out the ills of religion. I come here to get out my frustrations. I talk to my wife or go have a beer with any number of atheist friends. What I don't do is pick fights with my religious friends just to call them names. My Grandmother died New Years Eve and someone posted "Take comfort in knowing that you'll see them again." There is no need to react to that. They are caring for me, even if it is misguided. Don't be that person whom doesn't permit others to be themselves. You are no better or less hateful than any number of Evangelical Preachers. Live and let live.

I'm learning how difficult this trade is, not only for the techniques, but the morals and lifestyle. It's more like a crash course in personality disorders along with a trade. You are here to honor a past time that has been deemed criminal by most. Some people are out to get theirs, whether it be drugs, women/men, strokes of the ego, but I know I'm here to eventually be prolific. Defining your life is for you and you alone. No one cares about YOU persay. What they care about is what you do. And that's what a trade is. What you do. Not who you are.
If you see anything on here that you would like to get tattooed on you, or you have ideas that you think will work out with this style, I will offer one that is the size of your hand. (but NOT on your hand or neck, head!) I am working at half the normal rate per hour until September as an apprentice. All proceeds go to studio fees, train fare, my rent, and to keep me tattooing.
Give me your time and patience and I'll give you mine. Be well.

It is dark, but just sufficient light is coming through the crack in the door to make out a man's silhouette. Even with that assurance, nonetheless, you may want to look at this report from the Customer Financial Protection Bureau about the credit card issuers with the most complaints (like issues with fraud, credit card protection, and billing disputes).
I have report to police as nicely as bank manager but police station told me this is bank work they have to investigate police will not interfere on this matter then i mate with bank manager he told me that CVV and 3D pin not to be scanned either you have shared with some one or u r hacked by your have offered final of reason but they are not prepared to take action for additional investigation also told me go and complaint to RBI for additional concern.
Yesterday in the unauthorized transaction carried out from my accountand then i speak to client care then they mentioned your card is skimmed…then in the morning logged fir in police station and cyber crime cell before 24 fir submitted to bank..these had been international transaction 1 from cape town and another from jonesburgkindly support me to get my funds back.
Nowadays 12th january 2015 ,on monday i visited the branch with the meantime flipkalt calls me today saying the fraudster who produced buy from my debit card had asked for 24hours delivery and the goods have been delivered to him at 5.00pm on sunday(inspite of me mailing and calling flipkart to cease the delivery on sunday before five.00pm, simply because of their technique delay they cudnt stop the delivery, even so flipkart promised complete cooperation for taking back the very good.
So most airline or hotel credit cards, you get two points for that airlines or that hotel, but with the Sapphire you get 2x on each and every single airline, each and every single hotel, car rental, and subways, parking, campgrounds, amusement parks—it's this huge category.

Flyers-Rangers PreviewNHL.com @NHLdotcom
After a dramatic win at Philadelphia over the weekend, the New York Rangers try to complete a sweep of a home-and-home series with the Flyers at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday night.
The Rangers, who will be looking to open a season with three straight victories for the first time in 17 years, defeated the Flyers (0-1-1) on Saturday when Marcel Hossa beat Antero Niittymaki in the 13th round of a shootout for a 5-4 victory.
The shootout was the second-longest in NHL history, behind New York's 15-round win over Washington last season.
"I was just wondering if it was ever going to end," said Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist, who stopped all 13 Philadelphia shooters Saturday.
Lundqvist finished with 35 saves to improve to 2-1-1 with a 3.65 goals-against average against the Flyers. The second-year player, who stopped 25 shots in a 5-2 win over the Capitals at MSG in Thursday's season opener, went 21-6-4 with a 1.96 GAA at home last season.
New York was 25-10-6 on home ice in 2005-06, but has struggled at MSG against the Flyers of late. It is 1-3-3 against Philadelphia at home since the 2003-04 season.
Center Matt Cullen scored for the Rangers on Saturday to give him a five-game point streak against the Flyers, with five goals and an assist in those games.
Rangers captain Jaromir Jagr had two assists Saturday, and has 10 goals and 10 assists in 12 games against Philadelphia since being traded to New York in 2004.
The Rangers, who ended a seven-season playoff drought in 2005-06, have not opened with three straight wins since 1989-90.
Although New York has won its first two games for the first time since 2000-01, it has been utterly ineffective on the power play. The Rangers were 0-for-6 with a manpower advantage Saturday and are 0-for-9 overall.
The Flyers, meanwhile, have been outstanding in short-handed situations, killing off all 10 power plays against this season.
Philadelphia's Simon Gagne, who scored a team-high 47 goals last season, got his first two of this season Saturday.
"I thought we played very well tonight," Gagne said. "We had a lot of shots again and found a way to score goals, and I think it was a fun game to play in.
"We're going on the right track and want to build on (this)."
New captain Peter Forsberg had a goal and an assist, and has a point in 12 of his last 13 games against the Rangers, with four goals and 16 assists over that span.
Niittymaki had 26 saves in his first game since deciding to have a cortisone shot instead of surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left hip. He is competing for the No. 1 goaltender job with Robert Esche, who struggled and made only 17 saves in a 4-0 loss to Pittsburgh in the season opener.
Niittymaki is 2-0-1 with a 3.00 GAA in four games against the Rangers, while Esche is 4-4-2 with a 2.88 GAA.
The Flyers have not gone winless in their first three games since 1999-2000.

It seems like there are more big earthquakes than ever before.
Some people are calling foul play. For example, some point to the fact that former secretary of defense William Cohen told a conference on terrorism on April 28, 1997 that people can:
Alter the climate, set off earthquakes, volcanoes remotely through the use of electromagnetic waves.
Secretary Cohen might be right. Does that mean that hostile governments or terrorists are using electromagnetic weapons to cause earthquakes?
Others claim that climate change or an approaching celestial event having to do with the year 2012 are causing the earthquakes. Are they right?
Well, the United States Geological Survey explains that – contrary to appearances – we really don't have more earthquakes than normal:
Although it may seem that we are having more earthquakes, earthquakes of magnitude 7.0 or greater have remained fairly constant throughout this century and, according to our records, have actually seemed to decrease in recent years.
There are several reasons for the perception that the number of earthquakes, in general, and particularly destructive earthquakes is increasing.
1) A partial explanation may lie in the fact that in the last twenty years, we have definitely had an increase in the number of earthquakes we have been able to locate each year. This is because of the tremendous increase in the number of seismograph stations in the world and the many improvements in global communications.
2) The population at risk is increasing. While the number of large earthquakes is fairly constant, population density in earthquake-prone areas is constantly increasing. In some countries, the new construction that comes with population growth has better earthquake resistance; but in many it does not. So we are now seeing increasing casualties from the same sized earthquakes.
3) Better global communication. Just a few decades ago, if several hundred people were killed by an earthquake in Indonesia or eastern China, for example, the media in the rest of the world would not know about it until several days, to weeks, later, long after such an event would be deemed "newsworthy". So by the time this information was available, it would probably be relegated to the back pages of the newspaper, if at all. And the public Internet didn't even exist. We are now getting this information almost immediately.
4) Earthquake clustering and human psychology. While the average number of large earthquakes per year is fairly constant, earthquakes occur in clusters. This is predicted by various statistical models, and does not imply that earthquakes that are distant in location, but close in time, are causally related. But when such clusters occur, especially when they are widely reported in the media, they are noticed. However, during the equally anomalous periods during which no destructive earthquakes occur, no one deems this as remarkable.
The USGS provides the following charts on large earthquakes:
And see this.
Note that many people have seen strange lights in the sky prior to or during recent earthquakes.
However, strange lighting phenomenon has been observed in connection with earthquakes throughout history.
For example, "immense columns of flame" were reported by Greek writings prior to the giant earthquake in 373 BC in which destroyed the cities of Helike and Bura.
And the New England Earthquake of 1727 was preceded by strange lighting phenomena:
People that were awake when the earthquake came said that a flash of light preceded it. It was seen as it passed the windows, and a blaze seemed to run along the ground, dogs that saw it giving a sudden bark as if frightened. Before they had time to consider the source or cause of the light a sound like a gentle murmur floated to them on the still evening air, followed by a slight ruffling wind. Then came a rumbling as of distant thunder, which approached nearer and nearer and grew louder and louder till it sounded as if innumerable heavy carriages were being rapidly driven over pavements, or like the roaring of a great furnace, but incomparably fiercer and more terrible, having a hollow sound as if it came from under the earth. Then the shock came suddenly and severely and the houses were felt to totter and reel with the trembling and heaving of the ground.
There are numerous theories about the cause of "earthquake lights", including:
- Sparks or gas ionisation due to a piezoelectric effect in quartz-bearing rock
- Frictional heating
- Exoelectron emissions
- Sonoluminescence
- Triboluminescence
- Generation and ignition of flammable gases either from pockets of natural gas or from rocks under enormous stress.
- Gas ionisation or electrical effects due to electrokinetics
- Separation of positive hole charge carriers that turn rocks momentarily into p-type semiconductors

Band will headline the 20,000-capacity venue on December 13
Tickets for Two Door Cinema Club's London O2 Arena gig have gone on sale today (August 21).
The band will headline the 20,000 capacity venue on December 13 following a number of festival appearances this summer, including dates at Glastonbury, T In The Park and last weekend's V Festival.
Speaking to NME when the band announced the massive show last week (August 15), guitarist Sam Halliday enthused: "It doesn't feel real yet; at the moment it feels like a dream. It's testing the water of a new sort of show. I went to see Beyonce at the O2 recently and that show definitely fits in the O2. Then I think back to that and think of our show at the minute… We want to try and fill the stage a bit more and be confident commanding a crowd rather than just playing the songs."
Two Door Cinema Club recently unveiled a new track called 'Changing Of The Seasons' produced by French teenager Madeon. It will be released as part of a three-track EP, also called 'Changing Of The Seasons', on September 30.
Meanwhile, the band's frontman Alex Trimble has just put together his debut photo exhibition, a collaboration with Belfast photographer Jamie William. The exhibition, titled 'Mustang Margaritas', went on display today (August 21) for eight hours only at Gazelli Art House in London's Mayfair. Click here for an exclusive gallery featuring eight photographs from the exhibition.

Uncle sent Murdoc the heads up on a pizza guy story. In this case, it wasn't a delivery driver held up…it was the store owner in the store:
[John] Hayes, 37, was behind the counter Tuesday night when 20-year-old Patrick Finney, wearing an orange ski mask, walked in and pointed a sawed-off shotgun at his head just before 8 p.m.
A customer, an older woman from the neighborhood, was seated at the counter watching the Cavaliers game while waiting for a stromboli.
"He said, 'Give me the [expletive] money. This is an [expletive] robbery," Hayes said.
Hayes cooperated, giving the robber a stack of $10 bills. The robber wanted more and pointed the shotgun within inches of Hayes' head, he said.
"As soon as I gave him the money, I pulled my gun out from my hip, pointed it and fired four shots," Hayes said.
The perp managed to get back up and three more shots were fired. He managed to get out of the parlor but collapsed "in a heap on Amelia Avenue." The gun was a 9mm pistol and it doesn't say how many of the shots struck their target. A photo with the story shows a hole in the front glass of the store.
The guy's myspace page is a treat.
I found this bit in the story particularly interesting:
Resident Dave Mariani said he's owned his house on Burton Avenue just off West Exchange Street since 1973, and this is the first time something of this nature has happened in this part of the neighborhood.
What he apparently means is that this is the first time the robber has been shot in this part of the neighbor hood, because
It was the fourth robbery at the shop since 2007.
It's not particularly news-worthy when the bad guys get away with it, but it's a huge media event when the good guys shoot back.
It's also interesting that the owner initially "played ball" with the robber, giving him "a stack of $10 bills." Isn't that what everyone says you're supposed to do? Cooperate with the criminal? But, shockingly, the criminal wasn't satisfied with a stack of someone else's $10 bills, so he demanded more. This is the sort of thing you'll often see when losers see that people will cave in to their unreasonable demands.
So the owner shot him. That's the sort of thing you'll see when reasonable people get fed up with unreasonable bad guys.
Murdoc's thinking that this might be the last robbery at this shop for a while.

BARRIE CASSIDY: So we'll move on now and we'll go to Canberra and our program guest is Shadow Minister for Finance, Tony Burke. Good morning, welcome.
SHADOW FINANCE MINISTER AND MANAGER OF OPPOSITION BUSINESS TONY BURKE: Morning Barrie.
CASSIDY: That video is probably familiar to you, as I understand it you were there?
BURKE: Yeah, I was. I haven't seen it back since the night. My main recollection of the night was at that point I'd handed my resignation in to Kevin Rudd and during the course of the night Julia Gillard found out about it, and came to me somewhere between dismayed and angry with me and said to me straight away 'I want you to go back, get that resignation and tear it up. Don't you dare do this in my name.' What I didn't know was at the exact same time - while having a conversation like that with Julia you don't answer your phone when it's ringing - but at that exact moment Kevin was leaving a message saying that he wasn't going to accept my resignation anyway.
CASSIDY: So you were prepared to end your career? In retrospect, what are your thoughts on that now?
BURKE: Well, I'd made, as a number of us had, some pretty strong comments during that period and I thought the right thing to do was to give my resignation in to Kevin. The truth was after he rejected it and I stayed on for that period, my working relationship with him after all of that was actually the best it had ever been. So, you know, you don't know how these things are going to turn out.
CASSIDY: Let's talk about Joe Hockey now and he has delivered a genuine apology for his remarks. Should that be the end of it?
BURKE: Well, look, it's a strange situation where someone, you know, arguably can smoke a cigar with his head in the sand. We've got a situation with Joe where the real problem is that yes, he's come out and given an apology about the language, but even if you look at today where they're talking about the issues that they'll back down on, petrol is not on the list. If you look at the issues today where they're saying how they actually might change the way that they will influence 'Budget Mark Two' or whatever they want to call it, and you wouldn't want to be a pensioner who drives a car. They've been very pick-and-choose on which measures they're willing to have another look at and with those, all we've got today is off-the-record backgrounding. They've become, you refer to the events of the last Government, they've sort of done the opposite. They go on the record when they want to get stuck into each other and off-the-record when they want to talk about policy.
CASSIDY: But you go back to what Joe Hockey did say though on 2GB and that would not have been easy for a politician, especially a senior politician to say what he did and to say it in the way that he did.
BURKE: No, I respect that absolutely. It's also true that it took Tony Abbott to give him the public smack down before that interview took place. And I think a lot of people would have looked quite differently on that interview if it had happened shortly after the original comments, rather than after a long period of digging in and producing a whole lot of statistics trying to justify the original insensitive remark.
CASSIDY: Now Bill Shorten's position on the Budget is throw the whole lot out and start again, you can't be serious about that?
BURKE: The first problem with the Budget is it's based on a false premise. It's based on there being a 'Budget emergency' which there is not in Australia. So that's the first problem. What they then do with that premise is in order to improve the Budget bottom line, they put the vast bulk of the weight on people on lower and middle incomes. And so the only measure in this Budget that's specifically aimed at people on higher incomes is the increase in income tax. It's the only one of the measures that's temporary. So for the top end, there's a 2 per cent hit and it's a temporary measure. For lower and middle income earners, the impact happens straight away, and if you're a pensioner every six months because of the change in indexation the impact actually gets worse.
CASSIDY: So at the very least what you want is some initiatives that hit the higher income earners harder?
BURKE: Well if you're going to - every Budget involves tough decisions. We don't deny that and we made tough decisions in the order of something like $180 billion worth of them when we were in Government. Tough decisions have to be made in any Budget. The challenge here is that in the first instance Joe Hockey has claimed that there is a dire problem, way in excess of the challenge that Australia faces. But secondly, their entire approach has been to continually push the onus on those who can least afford it to do something about the Budget bottom line. Now I've got to say, even if somebody were to accept Joe Hockey's 'Budget emergency' language, I don't think people are willing to say that they want to help Joe Hockey's Budget by wrecking their household budget.
CASSIDY: But how would you hit higher income earners harder, where would you do it? You had an opportunity you didn't do anything about negative gearing, you didn't do anything about some of the more generous superannuation arrangements?
BURKE: Sorry, I can't accept that last point Barrie. There were specific changes for higher income superannuation that we'd put in place that raised revenue, that improved the Budget bottom line, that Joe Hockey abolished as part of the doubling of the deficit that he did when he first came to office. There's a series of changes here of revenue measures including offshore tax havens where we had measures that had been announced that were in the Budget, that Joe Hockey announced he was abandoning as soon as he came to office. We can't forget that Joe Hockey's first action was to double the deficit, to blow it out as far as possible so that he could have a figure to point to and 'say look how bad Labor is.' Now in this Budget he's dealing with it in a way that hurts the people that can least afford it.
CASSIDY: Would you bring negative gearing back into play?
BURKE: I'm not contemplating anything like that. I'm not going to get in to a rule-in, rule-out game but nothing like that is in contemplation.
CASSIDY: When you said there's no 'Budget emergency' do you accept though that the country is living beyond its means?
BURKE: We accept at the moment, when you've had the global down turn, that you get significant decrease in revenue and that's been on an ongoing basis, have to accept that. But don't forget, for example, the decisions that Joe Hockey has been making. In the climate change area they've abolished the only source of revenue for that sort of expenditure in abolishing the Carbon Price. That makes a massive hit to the Budget bottom line itself. But then they increase the expenditure with Direct Action, with a policy that won't work. So the actions that we've seen from them so far, if you look at our voting record in the Parliament, if it had been followed, the bottom line at the would be in the order of about $21 billion better off than what it is because of the different decisions that they've currently been making.
CASSIDY: I want to raise an event, on Friday night you were a speaker at a Muslim forum in Lakemba, and it was held on the impact of the war in the Middle East. It does seem to be - there seems to be a certain heightened sense of awareness or even, I guess, alarm about developments overseas and how that's playing out here. How is that playing out in the Muslim community?
BURKE: Well, there's no doubt around the world at the moment the major terrorist organisations around the world are targeting young Muslim men for recruitment. Australia, all countries in the world and the Muslim community are dealing with that. And this is where, if I look at the different programs that exist in my part of Sydney where people are making an effort to make sure that young men are having leadership programs, are being kept within the community net and keeping connected to the rest of the Australian community, lots of different cultural groups, lots of different religious groups run them. No section is doing it in a more targeted fashion than the Islamic community, trying to make sure that they're keeping young men on the right path. Now, that said, we have all seen images which are nothing short of horrific and the images we're seeing are of people who used to live in Australia. Now, there is one question about how on earth Scott Morrison allowed them to get out of what were meant to be tough borders to go across to Syria. But there is a second issue which is to make sure that we work more and more closely with the community to try to ensure that we don't have people going down those sorts of paths.
CASSIDY: But do we hear enough from their leadership when these sorts of atrocious images appear?
BURKE: I've got to say an image like that which is offensive to every human being, I did find it astonishing that some people were saying 'oh, has this Muslim leader or has that Muslim leader come out to condemn a beheading' as though they in some way owned that image. Of course they're condemning beheadings. Of course people found that image absolutely offensive and, the habit that's happened now where every Islamic leader is expected to come out and say 'yes, I too am opposed to this horror', yes, they are. But I think there's also a point at which we have to ask what's going on that we are questioning whether or not these leaders might be.
CASSIDY: But isn't the community entitled to be – some sort of satisfaction, be satisfied that that is in fact the widespread view of the Muslim leadership?
BURKE: It is and the leadership came out on every instance immediately. There are Muslim leaders coming out condemning it. The thing that I've been critical of is that there's been a habit of some to try to find some Islamic leader who might not have come out and said 'why didn't you?' As though everybody's got to jump to attention the moment that there's something horrific that we should already know, everybody finds horrific. For heaven's sake, it's the worst image I've seen in my life and I think we've all seen some terrible images out there. If we're going to actually try to make sure, and as nation we need to, make sure that we don't continue to be a target where - which is happening around the world - where terrorist organisations are trying to find young men, and let's face it at the moment they are targeting young Islamic men, then one of the stupidest things we could do as a nation is to try to tell people in these communities that they are alienated. That is a really dumb thing to do and a dumb message to send. And for all the talk of 'Team Australia' from the Prime Minister, I will never in my life understand why he linked the abolition of the Government's plans on the Racial Discrimination Act with 18C to the terror laws that they are introducing. If they ever wanted to tell the community that they thought they didn't understand where the community was at or the assistance the community was actually wanting to give, it was that moment.
CASSIDY: Tony Burke, thanks for your time this morning.
BURKE: Talk to you again.

26 Nov 2013 Tri-Beta 2013 Thanksgiving Food Drive
The Delta Gamma Chapter of Beta Beta Beta (Tri-Beta), the National Biological Honor Society at Texas A&M University-Commerce, recently hosted a Thanksgiving Food Drive.
"We are very proud of our Tri-Beta students for their very significant effort and accomplishment," said Dr. Larry Lemanski, head of the department of Biology and Environmental Science. "Meng Sun, an undergraduate Biological Sciences major was one of the Tri-Beta officers who pushed the project forward. Many of the other student members did a very significant amount of work in collecting and distributing the food to the families in the Commerce area."
This annual food drive raises food for the people of Commerce. Tri-Beta delivered canned goods to the First Presbyterian Church of Commerce on November 21.
"After seeing the shortage of food in their pantry, we were grateful to know the cans we raised will help provide for the holiday," said Meng Sun, President of Tri-Beta. "We have raised a total of 2,013 canned foods this year, tripling the amount we raised last year. This event was extremely successful and way better than expected!"
Tri-Beta is an honor and professional society for students of the biological sciences. Its focus is to stimulate interest, scholarly attainment, and investigation of the biological sciences, and to promote the dissemination of information and new interpretations among students of the life sciences. Dr. Venu Cheriyath, assistant professor of Biological and Environmental Sciences, serves as the faculty advisor for the Delta Gamma Chapter of Tri-Beta.

"Melvin was tall and gaunt, almost Abraham-Lincoln-like, with long black hair. Before meeting Mimi, he had been in a relationship with Janis Joplin. The connection with Janis apparently caused some bad blood between the two singers. Mimi also began to hang out with some of Janis' friends, including Linda Gravenites, a designer who roomed with Janis and also made dresses for Janis' stage act. The last straw, for Janis, came when Mimi asked Linda Gravenites to make her wedding dress. Linda created the appliquéd lace with a beaded lace train that is seen in all the photos of Mimi's wedding with Melvin.
Their wedding took place at the Big Sur Folk Festival on September 7. Inspired by the sight of Mimi in her wedding dress, Joan wrote one of her first and best songs, "Sweet Sir Galahad," about their courtship and marriage. Home-movie footage of the wedding appears in Celebration at Big Sur, with Joan's performance of the song (from the next fest, in 1969) providing the soundtrack as Mimi and Milan prance in the grass.
During her second marriage Mimi settled into the role of housewife and was not active musically--only one credit to "Mimi Fariña Melvin" appears on record, on Joan's David's Album, where the sisters sing "Poor Wayfaring Stranger." The marriage did not last. Many sources say Mimi and Milan separated after two years, while Mimi stated that they were married three years and broke up when she was 25. Milan moved to England in the summer of 1970, so perhaps that marked the end of the relationship. Mimi later came to regard the marriage as "a cop-out:" "I was rescuing myself from having to face life alone again.... It was just at that time that my life finally began developing on its own. Suddenly, and miraculously, I began writing songs and finally got a driver's license and started to get around." She also returned to the surname Fariña--perhaps a symbolic act. "I'll always love Dick," she recalled years later. "He was an impossible act to follow."

I always look forward to seeing the details my clients choose for their wedding day. Whether simple or elaborate, each day is special because the colors, flowers, dress, etc. they choose tell me even more about them. I saw a trend of bright colors this season. Many colorful bouquets paired with equally colorful bridesmaid dresses. Here are some of my favorite details from 2014. Enjoy!

I am still trying to figure out the right butt curve for this little lady here. I'd like to practice my animation skills on one of my own design for a change ;) So once her design is settled, you might see her moving around sometimes.
The other sketches are juste random ones I thought deserved to be shown here.

As those of you who tried to access the site during the weekend noticed: we've been having some database issues. They are solved now and we're up and running again (remember: always backup your data!).
Database issues
A new record and the next walkthrough
Just to kick things off: the next part of the AS3 Europa walkthrough is up, this is the 6th installment and it continues with the engine assembly. Click here to go see it.
I've spent some time with site maintenance as well. Everything is up to date now. I also checked on the site statistics for the first time in a while and I'm glad to announce that December was the first month we broke through 10 000 actual visitors after cleaning out all the robots! Neither I or Ole thought we'd ever get this many visitors each month to the site, it's exciting!
It just goes to show that there is a community out there around the world who are interested in these bikes. Take pride in knowing that you are one of a select few and that there are others out there working on their motorcycles as well!
One more thing: the post archive with monthly updates is now a drop-down menu. You can still find it below the tag cloud to the right but it takes up less space this way. It was beginning to get too long the way it was.
Gallery of the YCS1 and iPads
We have a new gallery up of the 1968 YCS1 we got a few weeks back, click here to go to the museum page! The video of our test drive is there as well. We actually drove the bike out to the museum under its own power. We usually drive the bikes there with a truck since we haven't got insurance on most of them. I'm happy to say that it completed the journey without any trouble at all!
Now on to the next thing: as some of you with iPhones and iPads might have noticed: the picture galleries don't show up on the site when you browse with them. This is because the slideshows are based on flash which isn't supported in iOS. In order to get around this I'm trying out a new gallery system which works on iOS, the YCS1 is the first one of this kind, if everything works out well I'll transition the other flash-based galleries to this system as well. The layout is based on thumbnails instead of one slideshow though you can still access a slideshow by first clicking on one of the thumbnails.
We've made some changes to the AS3 'Art' project. The front fender is now painted black to match the rear fender instead of chromed as the regular AS3-models. We feel that it'll match the overall looks better this way. Don't worry: we used a used front fender that would have needed a new layer of chrome anyway 🙂
At the moment we're working with getting all the artwork onto the painted parts, easier said than done… We'll have more updates as we go along!
One big change, effective immediately, concerning the website: the links page is gone! Instead we have the links right here on the front page, right below the slideshow of our motorcycles. If you hover over them you'll even see a quick description of who they are.
We've also taken the time to disassemble a lot of the used carburetors to clean and restore them. Some are in better condition than others…
The small nozzles are almost always clogged and are next to impossible to get properly clean. Many times when the bikes run poorly, the problem is with the nozzles is the carburetors. Luckily we have restoration kits that contain the nozzles, gaskets and springs. As long as we can get the carburetor housing clean, we'll be able to restore them.
In the slideshow below you can see both the AS3 and the carburetors.
Titan Guestbook
Just as promised we've been adding more features to the site. The newest of which is the guestbook. The new one contains all the old posts that have been made on the old site. The new one even has a captcha (that squiggly text near the bottom) to make sure that no spambots get through. The whole process is automated. Worth mentioning is that the guestbook isn't the best way to get a hold of us. If you have questions, use the contact page!

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure to photograph Tyler! What a sweet, energetic, fun little guy! I had to keep reminding myself to snap pictures as I ran around and played with him.....if it is any indication of the amount of playing that occurred I momentarily lost my car keys. Lucky for Tyler and his family, I found them and I didn't have to stay the evening with them! :)
I loved this shoot because it was a true 'day in the life' kind of shoot. I was able to capture all of Tyler's many faces and expressions as he played, ran, snuggled on mom's lap, and stared me down from time to time {I would probably have a staredown with anyone who chased me down the street with a camera calling my name} :) I love the non-traditional, non-posing kind of feel to this shoot and I think it was the perfect way to document Tyler's 18 month birthday.
Without further blabbing, I present to you the oh-so-adorable Tyler...
Love, love, love these eyes!

One, Two, Three to the Gut - Track 3
Jen Hartry
(For context, see previous posts One, Two, Three to the Gut, and One, Two, Three to the Gut - Track 2, in order.)
Ryan, I am trying to think of any act of violence outside of sport that has bettered the world, or raised us up in some way. War is the first thing to come to mind, as in something like a "good war," where a bad man is defeated through violence because violence is the only way to defeat him. But even a "good war" is a war, and no side gets out clean. Some bad man throws the first punch and draws us down, even if necessarily, to his level. Dehumanization is what you'd call it I guess. And we don't celebrate the death, violence, and animal behavior that comes with war when it's over: We celebrate the survival of our value system, the victory or our way of civilization over the others'.
You ask if I would really go back and hit these people. For Marcus, at the football field, and for the gay-bashers in the movie parking lot, I suppose the answer is actually No, I wouldn't. I thought about your saying that there is some desire in you "to see bad people hurt," but you recognize that "it is, at heart, a deeply uncivilized notion." I have, when it comes down to it, very little desire to see bad people hurt. Even the baddest people, say, your Saddam Husseins and Muammar Gaddafis–some part of me did want them to suffer the violence and death they inflicted on others, then another part of me saw them getting hung or beaten to death and didn't feel okay about it. I have even less desire to to see bad people hurt by me, especially when violence hasn't been introduced into the situation. Neither Marcus nor the assholes in the parking lot threatened or introduced violence, so maybe my introduction of it would have symbolized a few steps backward, away from civility. And now that you've really got me thinking about it, Marcus seems like some sort of hero for civilization, some sort of teacher. After all, he did in fact think I'd called him nigger, so if any violence was called for it would have been his to mete out. But he said only, "I know you want to hit me." He didn't challenge me or provoke me, just told me how I felt, and correctly. With the group gathered around he could have been a science teacher, using me as an example of how a Homo sapien will bare its teeth not only when its corporal safety is challenged, but when its sense of justice is challenged. Had I hit Marcus (who had a big fat gut just like so many statues of a certain other teacher…) it would have been sad, unreasonable and less than civilized.
I can't tell you if I'd hit Ben or not. I go back and forth. He did hit me after all, and I'd like to think I can (and would) defend myself without relying on authorities or alternative justice if I need to. (Of course, retreat was actually the best defense in terms of my physical safety, as it resulted in no more physical injury.) Had I hit him, I guess it would have done little good, save for allowing me to preserve some playground dignity. I'm sure that I'd have been disappointed in whatever punishment the teacher gave anyway, because, well, I'd say he hit me first (just like Hitler!) and she wouldn't care. With or without Ben the revelation of subjective justice through my teacher would have inevitably come from someone else, and probably soon. I don't know about Ben.
And so I guess one could ask (one being the number of people who read things on this blog): Why in the hell would I write that I'd go back and punch them if I wouldn't? Because when I wrote it it felt true. And even when I posted it it felt true. Your point that "art may just be the best place to put that shit" is taken. Because I edited that post like crazy, and I rewrote it a number of times over a couple of weeks. (I didn't, say, just punch it out.) All that work wasn't done because I was looking to get the facts straight. It was done because I wanted it to read cleanly, and because I wanted it to express the thing I was feeling, which was a rage at all the things I'd never expressed, and a frustration with myself for not expressing more today. (The reason I started a blog was to get myself to write more, and express more.) When it did feel right, I posted it. In other words, it had become a piece of art for me, and the process had been almost identical to my songwriting process, and so I labeled the paragraphs like they were parts of a song.
It's pretty ridiculous. When I was writing that I admired people who'd been in bar fights, I was thinking of people like Norman Mailer, who was known for that kinda thing. That's what I was thinking, that he was known for that kind of thing. But he wasn't known at all for that kind of thing. He was known because he was a writer, and the fact that he may have fought in bars makes him, I dunno, more interesting. But people who only get in bar fights aren't interesting. Hell, I guess I wouldn't think of you as being interesting (actually, I guess I wouldn't even know you) if you were just a dude who'd smashed some guitars. But the fact that you've smashed guitars is interesting now that you've have used guitars to write the kind of songs you write. I guess the whole thing comes down to my admiring expression and the people who express. But you're right. Though punching is a kind of expression, it's dumber than art. Violence only leads to more violence, or a temporary end to violence. Violence leads to maintenance of a status quo or a degradation of it. It makes me think of other dudes we've talked about outside (the appropriately named) Path Cafe, like James Baldwin and Paulo Freire. Now those were two dudes who had every reason to resort to violence. But they both wrote instead of punching, and they wrote warnings to other groups of people, who also had every reason to use violence against their oppressors, and they said, in essence, don't throw the punch, for if you do, you adopt the practices of your oppressors and eventually, perhaps, become the oppressors yourselves. Had they thrown punches, I s'pose I'd have never taken their point, or been fired up by the way they think, or talked about them outside Path.
I think I may have not really addressed all the good stuff you mentioned in your response, and instead focused on (or got distracted by) your question of whether or not I'd really go back and hit those guys. All the same, I think you're right. I wouldn't punch them, and I shouldn't. I appreciate your making me think about it.

Great Reads to Dig Deeper into Negotiations/
A few great books to explore if you're curious about upping your negotiations game:
- Getting to Yes: If you're looking for a tactical read about negotiations in general (not specific to women) check out this rewrite of the seminal work on negotiations from the 1980s.
- Women Don't Ask: This is a classic! It was one of the first books to address the way women are discouraged from negotiating and why they do it less often. Definitely more of a sociology text about why it's happening, though it also includes some strategies.
- What Works for Women at Work: This book is very well researched, smart, and full of nuggets of wisdom on navigating workplace dynamics. It took me a little while to get through, but I'm glad I did.
- Lean In: Perhaps you've heard of Facebook COO Sheryl Sandburg's bestseller about women's experience in the workplace? Going into it accepting that it's written for a fairly privileged audience, I found it to be an enjoyable read with a lot of good information.
- Difficult Conversations: This one isn't specific to women, but is another classic in negotiating courses because of the thoughtful way it approaches conversations, which at the end of the day is what most negotiations are.

text: I had some free time this past Sunday afternoon so I decided to try something I've been wanting to do for a long time. I headed to one of the marshlands nearby and tried to do some telephoto wildlife photography. First off, I do not have the right equipment to do this properly. I will get there before too long, but I did have an old Nikon mount Tokina 80-400mm lens adapted to fit on my Olympus OM-D EM-5 that I had to manually focus and manually set the aperture. Not an easy thing to do for wildlife photography, but I tried to put myself in the mindset of the photographers of yesteryear and do my best with what I had. Fortunately, the birds I was photographing, weren't moving around too much so I was able to setup on the tripod, focus and get some shots off. There were about 11 Great White Egrets in the marsh, but I spent most my time focusing on just one that was nearby. One of the challenges of this marsh area is that it is fenced off so, without breaking the rules and disturbing the habitat, you have to stay outside the fenced area. This one egret that you will see in the photo above and in the gallery below spent a lot of time within range of 600-800mm lens. Later on I decided to play around with handholding and taking some photos of some other birds in the area. Catching a flying hawk or a running bird is virtually impossible with a manual focused lens. Out of many, many shots I did get one that was only "adequate". I went ahead and created a gallery of the images from this excursion below.

The poor showing of most of the inexperienced candidates for the two assistant managerships of the Harvard Register indicates that only men of exceptional grit or of previous advertising experience can stand the test. Men in all departments of the University who have either of the above qualifications are urged to report. Each man is paid for the work done whether he is successful in the competition or not. The candidate selected as first assistant manager will in all probability be elected manager for next year. The competition lasts for five weeks, closing November 23. Candidates should plan to give as much time as possible to the work. Sporadic and disheartened excursions into the realm of business are usually fruitless.
Those interested should apply without delay to 44 Brattle street.
