Oh Say Can You See
The NFL's Week 3 anthem protesting was quite the spectacle.
Entire teams locked arms and many players kneeled. Owners came out to the sidelines to stand with players. A few teams refused to take the field.
Last year, this would've absolutely infuriated me. I was among the first to jump at players kneeling, and all summer I defended teams for not wanting to sign Colin Kaepernick after his role in starting the protests.
I still believe that it's unpatriotic to protest the National Anthem. After all, we sing it to remember and honor those who have sacrificed so that we may live free.
But after President Trump called any anthem protester a "son of a [expletive]", and after seeing the way the whole league came together in Week 3 as a result, my view of the initial protests has changed.
I thought once that maybe there was a better way to protest, that these athletes could avoid disrespecting America while still getting their point across.
The "I can't breathe" shirts that NBA players wore, the ESPYs speech given by NBA superstars, the kneeling all seemed selfish to me, and the kneeling was also unpatriotic.
Personally, the anthem is sacred to me. I do wish it was something for which everyone would stand. I love this country and am grateful to all those who have sacrificed for our freedom.
However, the players do have the right to freedom of speech, and their protests harm no one. There's nothing more American than being able to stand up for what you believe in (or in this case, not stand). And while I wish players protested in a different way, I also realize that perhaps there's not a more publicized time and place to protest.
At the same time, I also think many of these players may be missing the point. I can say with certainty that the owners who stood with their players definitely missed the point.
While the display of unity was certainly impressive, I think it's important to realize the motives of these protests.
Shannon Sharpe went on a tirade about this, and I think his words are telling.
"It's almost like they are uniting against [Trump trying] to attack us...are you [the NFL] showing unity? Are you showing solidarity against racism?... Or are you showing solidarity against President Trump and what he said, his attack on the NFL…[Trump] called him an SOB. And that shocked the conscience."
Sharpe goes on to discuss some of the other controversial things Trump has said, and points out that none of these statements brought about any form of retaliation from the NFL.
It's certainly interesting that this was the tipping point, that many owners and players never said a word prior to Trump's "attack" on the NFL.
And it's fairly apparent that most of the Week 3 protests were not motivated by actual care for the injustices, but were rather about sticking up for employees and colleagues.
To see that the owners and players care immensely more about making a statement and being unified than they ever have about the social issues brought up in the initial protests is unfortunate.
Because we're all in the same boat. Whether you think there's injustice in America or not has become irrelevant. We've gotten so caught up in how these protests are conducted that we've failed to actually address the issues they bring up.
Time will certainly tell if many of these players and owners do feel strongly about the issues in the same way that Kaepernick and the few others do, or if it was simply a one-time reactionary demonstration. If Week 4 was any indication, it will definitely be the latter.
Hopefully in the meantime, the protesters can find a less controversial and more impactful way to protest.
Because it's unlikely that there will be much of a conversation on the actual issues as long as the protests continue to divide us as Americans and football fans.

Saturday Grooming Report - Bradley Palmer State Park
Carol Catalano
On Saturday, we groomed the following trails at Bradley Palmer State Park: Asbury Loop, BP West Trail, andThe Park Road. Here's a screenshot of the grooming route:
NSNA co-founders Carol and Tom Catalano skied the Asbury Loop and BP West Trail. It was smooth skiing down the long hill that we restored at the end of Asbury Loop. Conditions were variable at best, and soft everywhere. We held off from further grooming to wait for temperatures to drop below freezing.

Wouldn't it be terrific if your BI solution allowed end users to access data with all the query response speed and flexibility of SSAS, yet also allowed them to use a solution that didn't require the typical latency (often one business day) between the OLTP source data and OLAP data? That's the concept behind proactive caching. Think of configuring proactive caching as the method by which you manage the MOLAP cache.
What is the MOLAP cache? It's an in-memory storage location created automatically by SSAS. The cache includes actual data and, sometimes, aggregations. This information is placed in the cache area after MDX queries are executed against the SSAS cubes. Figure 9-14 shows a conceptual rendering of the MOLAP cache.

So, Curtis told me it's been a year since I last blogged. Geez. I had such high hopes for myself. Ha! But in typical fashion life happened and other things took priority, namely, growing a human pretty much all of last year, and gosh, it wasn't exactly a cake walk and on top of two (or three, depending on who's counting!) needy people - it was a year of exhaustion. But now, a year later I have the pleasure of holding the fruits of my labor -- literally! Judah Lee is here and he's the most perfect addition to our family. So hello 2016 & hello to another year of beautiful exhaustion!!! See you next January...haha...but seriously...!!! ;)

WASHINGTON — The Mexican government is condemning the separation of children from families on the U.S. border.
Foreign Relations Secretary Luis Videgaray says at a news conference Tuesday that the country does not promote illegal migration, but it "cannot remain indifferent in the face of something that clearly represents a violation of human rights."
He calls the policy "cruel and inhumane."
Videgaray says the Mexican government has been providing consular support since the policy was announced. He adds that only 21 children of Mexican nationality have been identified as separated from their parents, a small fraction of the total. All but seven of those have been repatriated.
The vast majority of children involved are from Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras.

text: The water industry is moving from an end-of-pipe approach consistent with the linear economic model to a circular approach consistent with the circular economy model. The economic dimension of wastewater circularity has not received the attention that other dimensions have; this study attempts to fill this research gap by studying the economic dimension, in order to estimate the net opportunity cost of a non-circular water industry The financial and environmental benefits of treating wastewater, along with the associated operating and capital costs, are calculated to arrive at the opportunity cost and the 'closing the loop charge'. The analytical results reveal an estimated net opportunity cost of 643 million Jordanian dinar (JOD) (907 million US$) if the option not to go circular is chosen, with JOD 212 million (US$ 299 million) of this amount currently squandered. Furthermore, this indicates an average 'closing the loop charge' of JOD0.70/m(3) ($1.0/m(3)), which represents the average shadow price of the associated environmental externalities. Having thus shown a strong economic case for the circular model in the water industry, movements in all economic sectors to adhere to this model appear to be highly desirable.

Park Geun-Hye is sworn in as the first female president of South Korea. (Photo by Park Jin-Hee-Pool/Getty Images) Park Geun-hye was sworn in as the first female president of South Korea on Monday, and the festive inauguration ceremony wouldn't have been complete without the country's most famous pop star -- PSY.The globetrotting singer, who recently appeared in Brazil and Turkey to perform his infectious "Gangnam Style," made sure to clear his schedule for the occasion. Even though the 35-year-old had refused to grant Park -- or any other former presidential candidates -- the right to use his number as her campaign song (he didn't want his music to be used for political ends, his agency YG Entertainment had said), he expelled any doubts about whether he would attend the big event when he signed on as headliner.PSY's 'Gangnam Style': The Billboard Cover Story For the ceremony held in front of Seoul's National Assembly, PSY appeared in a more understated version of his signature blinged-out formal wear: a sleek black tuxedo, white-framed sunglasses, and similarly monochrome Oxford shoes."Last year, 'Gangnam Style' allowed me to experience something of a miracle. As a Korean citizen, I sincerely wish that, with the beginning of a new administration, everyone can have their own miracle and luck," said the singer, announcing his next song. "I know this is a very formal event but if you could please stand up and join me for the horse dance, it would be great."He soon had the entire crowd of some 89,000 Korean attendees on their feet and smiling for a collective rendition of his famous horse dance (even the new head-of-state showcased the iconic sequence, wrist action and all, during her presidential campaign last year).

6 November 2018
In 1898, Lord Rosebery, a former Prime Minister, opened the People's Palace, describing it as a "palace of pleasure and imagination around which the people may place their affections" and one which would be "open to the people for ever and ever".
120 years later we're working hard to keep that promise and on Thursday, Glasgow City Council approved funding to allow this cultural icon to remain open while the adjacent Winter Gardens is closed until the structure is made safe. It's an important step, but we want to do more; we want to protect and enhance all of the people's palaces in Glasgow – museums and art galleries, cultural and music institutions and the sport and leisure facilities – which do so much to improve and enrich our lives.
For these are the people's palaces, they belong to, and are cherished by, our citizens, with emotional bonds built over generations of memories. If there is a 'Glasgow Miracle' it is that Glasgow's nine civic museums attract more than 4 million visitors a year – 22% from our most deprived communities – on a budget of £12 million. Compare that to the National Museums of Scotland's budget of £27.7 million and 2.7 million visitors. Glasgow gets no national funding for its museums, despite being the biggest, busiest and most efficient museum service in the country. At the People's Palace, almost one-third, 29% of visitors, come from SIMD1 communities – it is far from a rarefied sanctuary only for the well-heeled. In fact, just this week Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum was ranked number one on the UK list of museums on TripAdvisor, ahead of the British Museum and National Gallery.
Glasgow's people's palaces include the Mitchell Library, which last month won an award for its work with homeless citizens. In some other places, homeless people might have been told to 'move on', but not in our libraries. Our staff recognised that people in desperate need were using the facility and through our on-site partnership with Citizens Advice Scotland, were able to provide life-changing and life-saving support.
Glasgow's public sport facilities are open to all – providing world-class leisure facilities and for all of our communities, not just those who can afford a private gym membership. We're home to big festivals such as Celtic Connections, which has at its core a school's programme which brings 12,000 school children together, exposing them to music and creativity, many for the first time.
Our local people's palaces, our libraries, provide more than just books. We help those living with cancer thanks to an innovative partnership with Macmillan Cancer Support. Working with Citizens Advice and Jobs and Business Glasgow, we provide information and support and our staff are first line of defence for those enduring the worst excesses of Universal Credit. Our people's palaces provide the safe and supported community spaces when they need them most.
But what we do is not enough. Poverty, social isolation and ill-health blight far too many lives in Glasgow. Loneliness – particularly among young people – is storing up problems for the future. Research proves the power of culture and sport in providing effective and relatively low-cost interventions which provide life-long social, economic and health solutions. It makes people feel better, physically and emotionally and makes them more productive – and in doing so, reduces the costs and pressure on future health and social care budgets, improves educational, employment and economic outcomes and even helps to reduce the numbers exposed to the criminal justice system.
So with budgets still tightening and services still stretched, we need to look afresh at how we deliver on shared social outcomes. It can't just be local authorities who shoulder the cost of valuable non-statutory arts, cultural and sports provision. A binary choice between funding schools or culture will see only one winner. We need to find new ways to fund culture and sport – understanding that any investment made will deliver measurable results which will, over time, reduce the burden on our health, education and criminal justice systems. If other public bodies benefit, then there must be a new way of delivering – and funding – those goals.
It is a challenge greater than the usual political tribalism that surrounds government funding and one that needs cross-party support. Glasgow is a proven innovator and a proven custodian of our incredible cultural assets and legacy. If we are to stay true to Rosebery's 120-year-old promise, then we need to find a new way of working, a new way of supporting our cultural and sport infrastructure, protecting our heritage and playing our part in creating a more healthy, happy and productive society. Our people's palaces are an asset for both city and nation but with the right support and a new, shared ambition, they can and will be so much more.

Moscow has information that Russian prisoners in Ukraine have been subjected to torture, Russian Foreign Ministry Human Rights Ombudsman Konstantin Dolgov said Wednesday.
"We have evidence, in any case there is information, that torture is being used on our citizens in Ukrainian prisons," Dolgov told reporters during a press conference at Rossiya Segodnya International Information Agency.
According to him, this information should be investigated carefully and seriously.
"If these facts are confirmed, someone in the Ukrainian authorities will have to be held responsible," Dolgov added.

Senate House Library, University of London: Reconsider the proposed sale of its first four Shakespeare Folios
The Director and Trustees of the University of London's Senate House Libraries are proposing to sell copies of the Library's first four Shakespeare folios. Although a "public consultation" is planned, it is understood that the books are already with Bonhams the auctioneers, with a sale scheduled for November. These folios form a critical part of the collection left to the University of London by Sir Louis Sterling in 1956—less than 60 years ago—on condition that they remain permanently in the University Library. In order to ensure their future security, Sterling also provided a generous endowment to support the collection. Until now, the University of London has been proud to provide "an unusually integrated resource for research on the transmission of English literary texts from the 14th century to the present". The folios are first on the list of these resources in the Sterling Library's current website. One of the excuses for the sale is that the folios are "duplicates". That is bibliographically unsound, for books printed in the handpress era are full of variants caused by human intervention and mistake. Furthermore, modern academic research is as likely to focus on the copy-specific features of the book (its binding, annotations, and provenance) as on the text itself. The catalogue for the Senate House folios actually notes that these copies are not duplicates. The Director hopes that the proceeds of the intended sale can be used to create an endowment fund that will attract more readers and strengthen Senate House's case for the restoration of HEFCE (Higher Education Funding Council for England) funding as a National Research Library. Selling off the Library's heritage is no way to impress HEFCE, or anyone else. Rather the sale of these volumes is likely to: - damage the reputation of the Senate House Library as one of the UK's leading humanities research collections; - result in the transfer of these four iconic and unique books from public access to private hands; - jeopardize future benefactions, not just to Senate House but to other UK research libraries; - raise questions about the management of the funds left by Sir Louis Sterling. The Bibliographical Society therefore urges the Director and Trustees of the Senate House Libraries to reconsider and reverse this misguided initiative. Please help us to emphasise the strength of feeling which exists in the public and research communities, by signing this petition. The Bibliographical Society, founded in 1892, is the leading UK learned society for the study of book history and brings together an international community of scholars and professionals with interests in this area.

I realize I haven't posted a clever use post in a while. If you subscribe to this blog then you know most articles are geared toward life, encouragement and motivation. However, I like to throw in some good ole useful stuff you can use in your daily lives from time to time. If you like these clever use type of posts then let me know and I will include more of them 🙂
I love finding clever uses for random things – especially those that you already have readily available. I recently came across these incredible uses for ice cubes and was amazed at how many problems theses little things could solve. Check it out…
13 Efficient Uses For Ice Cubes
1. Water Hanging Plants
Are you constantly reaching for the step stool or some chair to stand on for those hard to reach hanging plants. Just use some ice cubes. Toss several cubes into the pots. The ice melts and waters the plants and does it without causing a sudden downpour from the drain hole!
2. Remove Dents In Carpeting
You know when you move your furniture and how it can leave those ugly dents in your carpet? Well…you can use ice cubes to remove them. Just put an ice cube on the spot where the heavy furniture was – let it melt – then just brush up the dent. Done
3. Smooth Caulk Seams
Ever tried to caulk around the bathtub and the caulk starts to get messy and sticking to your finger as you try to smooth it out. This can be annoying and get messy in hurry. You can solve this problem by running an ice cube along the caulk line. This forms the caulk into a nice even bead and the caulk will never stick to the ice cube. Worth a try right!?
4. Iron Out Wrinkles
Have a shirt that is crazy full of wrinkles and no time to wash it again? Turn on the iron and wrap an ice cube in a soft cloth. Rub over the wrinkle just before you iron and the shirt will smooth out.
5. Mask The Taste Of Medicine
Do you ever have trouble getting your children to take medicine like I do? You can't blame them. Some of that stuff tastes awful Try this: Have them suck on an ice cube before taking the medicine. This numbs the taste buds and allows the medicine to go down – even without the spoonful of sugar.
6. Pluck A Splinter
Removing a splinter from a fidgeting screaming toddler can be a nightmare (I used to be one – sorry mom). Before grabbing the needle or tweezers – grab an ice cube and numb the area first. This should make the removal process more painless and quick!
7. Prevent A Blister From A Burn
Instead of rushing to the faucet to run cold water of that burn grab an ice cube and apply it to the burn. This should stop it from blistering.
8. Cool Water For Your Pets
Do you ever wonder why your pet prefers to drink from the toilet instead of his own bowl. Other than just being nasty they prefer the coolness of the water. Imagine wearing your coat in the heat of summer and then being offered a glass of lukewarm water. Give your pet a treat every so often by dumping a few ice cubes in their water – especially after those long summer walks.
9. Remove Gum From Clothing
you one of your kids ever managed to get gum stuck on their clothing? Don't panic and try to rip it off. That will only make the sticky mess worse. Instead grab an ice cube. Rub the ice on the gum to harden it, then scrape it off with a spoon. This works on carpet too!
10. Clean Your Garbage Disposal
Your garbage disposal may not be working at its optimum level because of grease or other buildup. Ice cubes can help this too. Throw some down the disposal and grind them up. The grease will cling to the ice, making the disposal residue-free.
11. Make A Creamy Salad Dressing
Want to make your homemade salad dressing as smooth as those at the restaurant? Try this: Put all the dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid, then add a single ice cube. Close the lid and shake vigorously. Spoon out the ice cube and serve. Your guests will be amazed at how creamy your dressing is.
12. Remove Fat From Soup And Stews
Did you know that you can actually remove fat from your homemade soup pretty quickly? Fill a metal ladle with ice cubes and skim the bottom of the ladle over the top of the liquid in the soup pot. Fat will collect on the ladle.
13. Reheat Rice
Leftover rice is just not the same. You know how its all dry and stuff – well try putting an ice cube on top of the rice when you put it in the microwave. The ice cube will melt as the rice reheats, giving the rice a much-needed moisture.
Have you ever tried any of these yourself?
Do you know of any more uses for ice?
Let us know in the comments.

"The Bible is a book of myths based on other mythical fables of other cultures combined into one book and sealed with the label as 'God's Word," many atheists have claimed over the years. They point out ancient Babylonian tablets (such as the Epic of Gilgmesh) as evidence for their claims). As Christians, however, we know that this is not true. The Bible is not a book of myths from other cultures. If this is true, then why are there different legends of creation and world-wide floods throughout the Middle East? Let's take a deeper look into this subject. The Gilgamesh Epic is a partial stone tablet uncovered in the late 1800's that tells a tale of a global flood that destroyed all humanity and only eight people and a handful of animals survived the flood. The stone tablet that the story was inscribed on has been shown to be older than any text of the Bible. This would almost draw to the conclusion that the author of the Pentateuch (Moses) "coycatted" the story of the Flood from the Babylonian legend. However, there are a few faults in this conclusion. If Moses did "copycat" the Epic of Gilgamesh, he would have added more precise and correct information than what the Epic recorded. This is impossible, however, as information is usually lost in the handing down of the tale. Since the tablet is older than the Pentateuch and it is plainly obvious that Moses did not "copycat" the tale, we must conclude the only proposition left: both the Pentateuch and the Epic of Gilgamesh are written records of an actual event. This would show that the Biblical worldwide Flood did indeed happen and that the Bible is accurate and not just a book of fables.
Epic of Gilgamesh: A Biblical Interpretation?

In the past, WOMEN often waited to be asked to take leadership roles and then fretted as to whether they could do it and what about home responsibilities? Even WOMEN who took on leadership, often because they had supportive opportunities, were smart and aggressive, still were erased from history.
The New York Times (NYT) looked back in their obituaries and found they were remiss in obituaries for WOMEN who were notable in their times and fields: Henrietta Lacks gave her HeLa, the cell line named for her used for decades for treating ailments like hemophilia, herpes, influenza
WOMEN, in their endeavor for equality and ranking, are getting more degrees than men except at the Ph.D. level. In fall 2016, 56 percent of US college students were women. But, these WOMEN take on larger student loan debt because of a variety of WOMEN specific reasons. After graduation, WOMEN take longer to pay off loans due in part to an unequal paycheck, childcare and have had to take out larger loans. WOMEN account for two-thirds of total US student loans or more than $830 billion. Unfortunately, the elusive equal pay affects WOMEN in more ways than we imagined.
WOMEN have made significant strides in girls' education, health, labor force participation and politics. In the past 20 years, WOMEN have doubled their global numbers in leadership roles.
WOMEN'S participation in politics is socially transformative. Research shows WOMEN in politics raise issues others overlook, invest in projects beneficial to their constituents and nation while seeking to end abuses others ignore. When WOMEN participate in peace processes, it is 35 percent more likely to last at least 15 years. But women still face many barriers to their political participation.
However, this past November WOMEN broke through the barriers like no other year including the "Year of the Women 1992" including internationally — notably Claudia Sheinbaum was elected as Mayor of Mexico City. She did her postdoctoral research at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory in Berkeley.
WOMEN did not wait to be asked, they stepped up to the plate for their constituents' needs, healthcare, equity, protecting Social Security, Medicare, jobs to name a few. Five hundred eighty-nine WOMEN said they would run or ran. WOMEN won 102 house seats beating a previous record of 85 wins. They took 14 Senate seats and 9 governors' mansions.
There were many firsts for WOMEN: 45 WOMEN of color, 37 to the House for the first time; Ayanna Pressley, first WOMEN elected to Congress in Mass and Krysten
And here in our county Heidi Harmon was enthusiastically re-elected as Mayor in SLO. In our own Atascadero City government, we now have a WOMEN Mayor, Heather Mareno, along with our newly elected Susan Funk who will sit with Roberta Fonzi on our City Council.
How do WOMEN perceive themselves? The human brain is notoriously susceptible in our society to stereotype men as being leaders more than WOMEN. A WOMEN will only become president when we, WOMEN, who have huge clout in the voting booth, change our biases about what a president looks like and support more WOMEN in higher education, private industry and in our government. Our country needs strong leaders from both genders and in particular strong female leadership.


text: It's still amazing to me as I sit here and write this post that I just photographed Sommer's senior portaits, I've literally known her since she was less than one year old. Her dad, Rick, and my stepdad Joe, who passed away from brain cancer in early 2004, were best friends. The Hachmann family owns a special place in my heart and are very near and dear friends of mine and Kristian's. I was honored when Sommer asked me to photograph her recently, and so glad that she was so comfortable with me. I was taken aback a little bit when I was photographing her, amazed at how much of a beautiful, intelligent and determined young woman she had become. She has been a little girl in my eyes for so very long, along with her younger sister Courtney, and I feel blessed to be in their lives still as they both enter new chapters in their lives - Sommer is off to college and Courtney starting high school. I know the future holds many great memories that have yet to be made with both of our families, including this coming weekend when we'll celebrate a new chapter in my mom's life - marrying her long time friend Harry! Welcome to the family Harry and Sommer I hope you love your photos, I loved taking them. Thanks for spending the time with me, I know you're a busy lady. :)

Debunking child custody myths
Debunking child custody myths
On behalf of Aaron & Aaron, Attorneys at Law posted in Child Custody on Monday, September 26, 2016.
Family court cases in South Carolina can range greatly in nature. When divorce and child custody matters include a history of domestic abuse, the judge will prioritize the children's best interests. However, the manner in which such issues play out might surprise the parties involved. In fact, there are several myths regarding child custody decisions.
Common sense might suggest that a child custody decision involving an abusive parent might involve placing a child with the non-abusive party and limiting visitation rights for the other parent. However, the emotional impact of going through domestic abuse and divorce could involve fear and depression that interfere with the non-abusive parent's ability to care for their child. A judge might deem that parent unable to handle primary custody. In some rare instances, this could leave no alternative but to place the child with the other parent.
If the non-abusive parent is awarded custody, the potential for continued abuse by the other spouse might still exist. In fact, ex-spouses often use their children to lash out at the other party in various ways. Examples include undermining the other parent's authority, attempting to outdo the other parent in terms of recreational or other activities, or failing to respect beginning and ending times for visitation.
During divorce proceedings, a parent's attorney might emphasize the emotional and physical needs of a child while advocating for certain visitation restrictions. Developmental needs might be substantiated by a health care or mental health professional as well. If there is a concern about the potential for a child being abused or neglected while in the care of the other parent, an attorney might request supervised visitation to ensure that the child's safety is not jeopardized.

Then he moved to New York and landed a role in the critically acclaimed Broadway musical Book Of Mormom — now he is starring in NBC's new comedy, The New Normal, and in a recurring role on HBO's Girls. BuzzFeed got the chance to catch up with Andrew over the phone, and he revealed that he is not a hoarder.
Initially people might want to compare The New Normal to Modern Family, how would you say they are different?
Initially they see a gay couple, so they think, "Oh it must be sorta the same thing, it's about gay people," but the comparisons pretty much stop at that. Yes, there are gay couples on both shows but I think both looks-wise and subject-wise, the shows are very different.
What are the differences between working with Lena Dunham on Girls and Ryan Murphy on The New Normal?
Actually, you'd think it would be pretty different, just given that this is Lena's first show and at such a young age is sort of responsible for so much, but actually they run the shows pretty similarly. They are executive producers of their shows, and they direct and write a lot of the episodes so there is kind of a streamlined work process that happens because you're just going to one person for an answer. Ryan and Lena both have such clear visions of what they want and how to achieve that.
One of your cast mates is Nene Leakes, from The Real Housewives of Atlanta, did you ever watch the show?
To be honest, I had not seen a lot a lot of The Real Housewives of Atlanta, although I did see specifics, like the "hits" of Nene Leakes and then also watched her on Celebrity Apprentice, when she takes Star Jones down, it was pretty amazing. Actually it was really sort of a pleasant surprise, she's fabulous in all the ways you would want her to be fabulous. There's no crazy difficult personality in play there, she's pretty straightforward.
And what about Ellen Barkin, how is it working with her?
She's amazing. We got to be friendly when we were both doing shows on Broadway and we would see each other at the same restaurants and at the same events and things. Then, like a year later, here we are working on this show together, which is crazy because I really wanted to work with her.
Who's the funniest person on set?
I think the cast favorite is Bebe Wood, who plays our little gal on the show. She is such a joy to work with and so much fun, and I think everyone just gets a kick out of being around her and she does all sorts of impressions. She's a real treat, I love that kid.
What's your TV guilty pleasure?
I'm so excited for Hoarders to start again. I was always a really big fan of Intervention, but then Hoarders came along and I was like, what the hell is happening!? I'm also not afraid to say that I'm a Toddlers and Tiaras fan and then by proxy, Honey Boo Boo. I love a nice drama, like Boardwalk Empire and Mad Men and Downton Abbey and stuff like that, but if Hoarders is on, I will watch it.
Do you have any hoarding tendencies yourself?
You know, quite the opposite, I often get reprimanded for getting rid of too much stuff. I think I might have a fear of becoming a hoarder, so I'm constantly trying to tear down and streamline things. I don't want to start collecting cats or newspapers or plastic spoons. They do some crazy shit on that show.
Now that you are on The New Normal, will we be seeing you on Girls in the upcoming season?
I was really lucky because the second season of Girls started filming last spring, so I was able to get in a few episodes before I had to move to Los Angeles and Lena was so so generous in still including me in it.
Cats or dogs?
I'm a dog person. I've very allergic to cats, I will always side with the dogs.
In the show you and Justin Bartha's character are in search of a biological mom for your child. If you could choose anyone to be your biological mom, who would it be?
Like, my mother? Or the mother of my child?
The mother of your child. Okay and why not, your mother, too.
Okay, so who would I have a child with? Um…Can Meryl Streep carry my child? I would love for Meryl Streep to be my surrogate and also to maybe be my mom. I love my mother, she's a great gal, but if Meryl is looking for another son, I'm totally available. I would go with Meryl across the board. Meryl for the sweep!

France will have one eye on the round of 16 spots when they kick-off their second game at the 2018 FIFA World Cup against Peru on 21st June at the Central Stadium Yekaterinburg. Peru is on a high though, as they have been undefeated since the last eight games. France, on the other hand, has been on and off and on and off in their last few games. France does possess all the strength to defeat Peru, but it will be interesting to see whether they'll be able to do it or not on the big day. If Peru does manage to turn the tables on France, they'll be in with a golden chance of making it through to the last 16.
Irrespective of the result, France has exhibited some great attacking football in their recent games. If not for anything else, fans will turn up in massive numbers to watch France unleash their attack once again. Mbappe, Griezmann, Pogba, each name aiming for glory for their nation. To match this high quality of football, Peru will have to be at their attacking best. Fans will be desperate to catch every bit of this exhibition of entertaining football. To help you get things sorted, we've got this little guide to the game ready.
France vs Peru Live stream
The deciding game of Group C between France and Peru will be a high stake game for all the fans, and thus a live stream of it becomes much more important. For the French fans, beIN Sports will be up with its massive live stream which will also be available for fans from all the MENA countries. Another major live stream for the game will come from FOX Sports which will have an entire live stream channel on their website dedicated entirely to the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Asian Subcontinent fans will be able to live stream the match exclusively on Sony's official smartphone app, Sony LIV. Peru, along with all other Caribbean fans, will have to sign up on DirecTV's website to enjoy the live stream.

Watch France vs Peru Online
The fans from all of UK will be able to choose from BBC or ITV's live stream. Same will be the case for the African fans, who'll have a live stream of France vs Peru game on Canal+, Kwese Sports, and SuperSport. There will be many countries where an official broadcast won't be available for this game. Fans from those countries can easily get things sorted by using the VPN Gateways available even for free on the internet. Also, cable has spoiled the watching experience for many fans on many occasions. In case you wish to avoid watching France vs Peru game on cable, there will be a second option called Sticky Bundles. fuboTV, DirecTV, PlayStation Vue, and Sling TV have proved to be an excellent replacement for cables.
More games to watch
The Group C game between France and Peru will be played at the Central Stadium Yekaterinburg on 21st June 2018 with the kick-off scheduled at 18:00 local time. The Ekaterinburg Arena is amongst the smaller stadiums being used at the 2018 FIFA World Cup with a seating capacity of just over 35,000. That number will get further reduced after the World Cup to a mere 23,000.
France manager, Didier Deschamps, will be in a dilemma to pick up the perfect playing XI as he has got a bit too many star players to choose from. Peru, on the other hand, looks much more organized having to be undefeated in their last eight games. Peru hasn't got a single big name in their squad but has still managed some exceptional results which speak volumes about how well organized their side is. France, on the contrary, is still struggling to find the perfect XI. Here is the team sheets may look for both the sides on matchday.
France Team
Lloris (GK); Varane, Sidibe, Umtiti, Koscielny; Pogba, Rabiot, Kante; Griezmann, Mbappe, Dembele
Peru Team
Gallese (GK); A. Rodriguez, Advincula, C. Ramos, Trauco; Yotun, Tapia, Hurtado; Farfan, Carrillo, Guerrero
The official broadcast of France vs Peru game will start soon after Denmark vs Australia game comes to an end. The French fans can catch their home side's action on beIN Sports and TF1. The Peru supporters will have to tune into DirecTV to watch their team take on the mighty French. beIN Sports will broadcast the game to all the MENA Countries along with France. The match will be televised on FOX Sports in America, Sony ESPN in Asian Subcontinent, DirecTV in the Caribbean, Canal+, Kwese Sports, and SuperSport in Africa, and on BBC and ITV in the UK. All the official broadcasts will begin soon after the full-time whistle in Denmark vs Australia game.
The match looks a lot more interesting when the recent results are taken into consideration. Peru, in fact, looks to be the better side. France, however, is still the side most likely to come out as winners given their star-studded lineup. However, France has fallen prey to some horrendous defending in their recent games and that is the only thing they'll have to avoid to win this one. One gift from the French defense and Peru's attack will be all over them. Our final scoreline prediction, hoping that French defense would play some good football, reads France 2-0 Peru.

In Italy amongst tight security Muamaar Gadaffi made his first state visit to the former colonial ruler.Italy had pulled out all the stops to welcome Gadaffi as the two nations develop close business ties. In a particularly poignant moment on his three day stay he met the families of people he had expelled from Libya over thirty years ago. One of them revealed what had been said after the meeting. 'Gaddafi told us that he was forced to expel us and that by doing so he saved our lives because the Libyan people wanted top kill us. So to save us he also confiscated all our property,' he said.
The Libyan leader later embarassed his hosts failing to show up for a meeting organised in his honour by politicans in the country's lower house. The conference was subsequently cancelled with the Gianfranco Fini Speaker of Italy's lower house explaining why. 'This delay wasn't justified to the president of the deputy chamber. This is the reason why, taking my responsability and in respect to the role of the Parliament in a democratic country like Italy, I consider this meeting cancelled.' Controversy was never far from the Libyan leader's visit. At one stage hewore a photo of a legendary Libyan resistance hero executed by Italians pinned to his chest. Despite that this first state visit has been deemed a succes as the two nations have developed stronger commercial links.

Seen via JWZ: this story, called "Raj, Bohemian".
"Is someone paying you to say that stuff?"
She giggled. "Sorry, babe, it just pops out sometimes. I didn't mean to pitch you. I'm supposed only to do it to my girlfriends."
"Ignore me. You know how hard it is to keep track of one's placements."
"Placements. Why are you making that face? You're looking at me like I'm some kind of freak."
"You have a lot of — placements?"
"Oh, don't get on your high horse. You don't work, either. What do you do for cash? If a girl doesn't want a straight job, she has to monetize her social network."
This sounds a little reminiscent of a piece that aired once on Wemmick's Temporary Sanity (beware: aggressive ads that got spidered by archive.org; you're gonna need to stop your browser from completely loading the page).
After kissing the wife and kids, I headed off to work. Ninety percent of the population now shares my job, but I can proudly say I was one of the first viewers. Viewers are people who are paid to watch enormous video walls that run commercials all day long. We are allowed to eat, work out, and even play games while we watch, but we must pass a comprehension test before we are allowed to leave at the end of the day.
Is this a real problem as we move into the post-scarcity economy? I'm not sure.
Seen on Slashdot: an article claiming that the Obama administration withholds more FOIA requests than the previous administration.
Agencies under the Obama administration cite security provisions to withhold information more often than they did under the Bush administration. For example, the 'deliberative process' exemption of the Freedom of Information Act was used 70,779 times in 2009, up from the 47,395 of 2008.
But I'm extremely grateful to an anonymous commentator, who writes:
Misleading framing of numbers. Go get more informative numbers from here [sunshineingovernment.org]. In 2008 56% of requests were granted. In 2009 61% of requests were granted. 2009 also worked to clear up the request backlog. It is a move in the right direction and as others have pointed out Bush was still in charge for part of FY 2009, so he might have skewed the numbers for the year.
Via Suzanne, an article on Boing Boing about journalism as we know it.
A study in Australia found that more than half of stories in mainstream newspapers were fed to them by PR entities: "Many journalists and editors were defensive … Most refused to respond, others who initially granted an interview then asked for their comments to be withdrawn out of fear they'd be reprimanded, or worse, fired."
Regardless of whether this was an effect of the Internet, or whether newspapers have been dead for a long time, this sure does have an impact on the idea that the blogosphere cannot replace quality investigative journalism. What's there to replace?
And closing out this Intellectual Impropriety hat trick, an article on Pitchfork called "What's the Matter With Sweden?", seen here via JWZ. The article starts with covering the Swedish Arts Council, which grants public funds to musical artists, and goes from there into a survey of other countries with public funding for music and how they interact with the concept of a "social democracy".
The article doesn't have a strong message and is about a half-hour to read, but does make some interesting points:
Via Chiz, an article on Boy Genius Report about a Warner Bros. UK job posting.
During the 12 month internship, duties will include: monitoring local Internet forums and IRC for pirated WB and NBCU content and in order to gather information on pirate sites, pirate groups and other pirate activities; finding new and maintaining existing accounts on private sites; scanning for links to hosted pirated WB and NBCU content and using tools to issue takedown requests; maintaining and developing bots for Internet link scanning system (training provided); preparing sending of infringement notices and logging feedback; performing trap purchases of pirated product and logging results; inputting pirate hard goods data and other intelligence into the forensics database; selecting local keywords and submitting local filenames for monitoring and countermeasure campaigns and periodically producing research documents on piracy related technological developments. Various training will be provided.
Relatedly, this story about lawsuits against 20,000 BitTorrenting downloaders on Slashdot. The referenced article says that this action was taken "on behalf of an ad hoc coalition of independent film producers and with the encouragement of the Independent Film & Television Alliance", but then they cite Uwe Boll as one of the plaintiffs, so who knows?
"We're creating a revenue stream and monetizing the equivalent of an alternative distribution channel," says Weaver…
The difference between the MPAA's past approach and the new one being offered by the US Copyright Group could come down to numbers. Weaver says the MPAA took a less targeted approach going after a smaller sampling of infringers in a single suit for multiple films, to send a message that would hopefully resonate to a much larger crowd.
Via Suzanne and Slashdot, this story on a judge nullifying gene patents. Interesting to see the evolution of patents as part of the "intellectual property" meme.
U.S. District Judge Robert Sweet agreed with the civil rights group that the patents were invalid because they covered the most basic element of every person's individuality. "Products of nature do not constitute patentable subject matter absent a change that results in the creation of a fundamentally new product," Sweet wrote in a 152-page opinion.
The Wikipedia article on rutabagas has a section entitled "Activities involving rutabagas":
Rutabagas are commonly carved into decorative lanterns called jack-o'-lanterns for the Halloween season throughout Britain and Ireland.
The International Rutabaga Curling Championship takes place annually at the Ithaca Farmers' Market on the last day of the market season.
Subtitle: poulsbo and why you should avoid it.
I recently bought an MSI Wind U110. Linux suffers on this platform as a result of its GMA 500 aka "Poulsbo" graphics hardware. Wikipedia: "GMA 500 support on Linux is not optimal." It's possible to run Ubuntu 9.10 Netbook Remix, which is what I'm doing now, but it's not optimal in the following ways:
The wireless is disabled in fascinating ways until you press Fn-F11. Once you do that, it should work out of the box.
You absolutely need to get the psb driver. Without it, you can't even drive the LCD at native resolution, and life just utterly sucks. I did this by dumping a bunch of PPAs into my /etc/apt/sources.list.d using add-apt-repository. The Ubuntu-Mobile PPA doesn't seem to have packages for karmic right now; I found relevant packages in the PPA of kalon33: Nicolas DERIVE and the gma500 PPA of lucazade. I'm currently running the packages built by Nicolas DERIVE.
You need to "fix" the driver in some obscure way so that it doesn't crash when you modprobe it. Bug 406529 documents the fix — see comment 6. Be sure to uninstall the package psb-modules when you rebuild, because it has priority. The psb-kernel-source package unpacks into /usr/src.
After you do the updated-packages dance, the "home screen" thing that lets you select packages doesn't come up by default, but it does show up if you click the Ubuntu logo in the upper-left. Not sure what's going on here.
Suspend doesn't work by default — the backlight doesn't come on during resume. I've successfully suspended from the command line, both by sudo pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore and using the uswsusp package using a command like sudo s2ram --force --vbe_save. It seems that by default, HAL is adding a bunch of quirks that interfere with backlight coming back on. HAL is in "maintenance mode" and may be being replaced by DeviceKit in the future, but for now we have to work with it.
If you close the lid, you'll see the quirks that are being added in /var/log/pm-suspend.log. On my machine, these were: --quirk-dpms-on --quirk-dpms-suspend --quirk-vbe-post --quirk-vbemode-restore --quirk-vbestate-restore --quirk-vga-mode-3. It's --quirk-vbe-post that really messes everything up, but even when I disabled that one, I still had problems with the screen randomly not coming back (but with the backlight on), so I decided to disable all of these quirks except --quirk-vbestate-restore.
There are at least two ways to do this. One way involves adding a pm-utils script to remove these quirks from pm-suspend calls. The other way involves telling HAL to get rid of these quirks.
The first way is in some ways simpler, so let's start there.
Add a file to /etc/pm/sleep.d/05_remove-annoying-quirks with these contents:
#!/bin/sh . "${PM_FUNCTIONS}" remove_quirks(){ remove_parameters --quirk-dpms-on \ --quirk-dpms-suspend \ --quirk-vbe-post \ --quirk-vbe-post \ --quirk-vga-mode3 \ --quirk-vbemode-restore } case "$1" in suspend|hibernate) remove_quirks;; esac
sudo chmod a+x /etc/pm/sleep.d/05_remove_annoying_quirks
Here's how you disable the quirks in HAL, which may or may not be a more elegant solution.
lshal | less to see what HAL thinks of your system. You should see, close to the top, something like power_management.quirk.vbe_post = true, and similar for all the other above quirks.
sudo pm-suspend --quirk-vbestate-restore --store-quirks-as-fdi, which writes a file in /etc/hal/fdi/information/99local-pm-utils-quirks.fdi, storing the quirks you just used. On my machine, that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <!-- Created by pm-utils --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="Micro-Star International"> <match key="system.hardware.product" string="U110"> <match key="system.firmware.version" string="AN012IMS Ver1.0E"> <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.vendor" int="0x8086"> <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.product" int="0x8108"> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
See the <merge> lines? Add some more that match the other quirks, to turn them off.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <!-- Created by pm-utils --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="system.hardware.vendor" string="Micro-Star International"> <match key="system.hardware.product" string="U110"> <match key="system.firmware.version" string="AN012IMS Ver1.0E"> <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.vendor" int="0x8086"> <match key="system.hardware.primary_video.product" int="0x8108"> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbe_post" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_suspend" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.dpms_on" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vga_mode_3" type="bool">false</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbemode_restore" type="bool">true</merge> <merge key="power_management.quirk.vbestate_restore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </match> </match> </match> </match> </device> </deviceinfo>
sudo restart hal and then lshal | less again. You should now see power_management.quirk.vbe_post = false, etc.
I stuck with uswsusp because resume is a lot faster using it. To enable uswsusp in pm-utils (which is what gnome-power-manager uses), edit /etc/pm/config.d/00sleep_module and add SLEEP_MODULE="uswsusp".
Sound is broken out of the box. The fix is documented on Linux Tipps:
Sound does not always work without problems. In Karmic 9.10 you have to comment out#options snd-hda-intel power_save=10 power_save_controller=N
in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf.options snd-hda-intel position_fix=1 bdl_pos_adj=64
instead helped me as well.
I've been playing with enabling/disabling this option and haven't seen any clear gains or losses, although I have had sound cut out after resume both ways.
The machine can drive external monitors at 1024×768, 800×600, 640×480, and 720×480, which is about what you would expect from hardware like this.
I'm finding that when I try to record audio, I get a massive amount of static and very little input volume. Still working on this one..
Bluetooth seems to work out-of-the-box, but you have to Fn-F11 to toggle it on. (This seems to be a matter of some contention for some people, but on my machine Fn-F11 cycles through both Bluetooth and wireless off, to Bluetooth off and wireless on, to Bluetooth on and Wireless off, to both on, and then back. (00, 01, 10, 11.)
[I'll continue to update this as I discover things about this machine.]
Otherwise, the keyboard's pretty good and the battery life seems pretty good (as you might expect from the big-ass 9-cell battery).
As far as I can tell, it's not really possible to run the Ubuntu Lucid alpha on this hardware, and probably won't be for a while, because Xorg 1.7 is incompatible with the closed-source psb driver. I wrote a post on the thread on Intel's forum about Linux support for GMA500 summarizing the various-driver situation; it's possible that in a month, when Lucid finally comes out, there'll be a better driver situation, or that in six months, Intel will release a better driver of their own. Do people still reverse engineer graphics drivers? Would anyone be interested in doing so for a free U110 or two of their own?
Knowing the things that I know, I'd probably advise against this netbook for anyone hoping to run Linux on it. In today's day and age, it just doesn't make sense to buy open-source-unfriendly hardware, even for the sake of a 10-inch screen. Then again, it's hard to know what hardware to support. The Dell Mini 10, for example, has an Intel NM10 Express graphics card: what does that even mean? Does it have support? Wikipedia has a comparison of netbooks page, but there's no column for "Linux support", and in general comparing multi-dimensional things like hardware is a real challenge. Anyone have any tips?
[Update: I have been tinkering with the different quirks for suspend. Right now I'm using SLEEP_MODLE="kernel" and removing both quirks --quirk-vga-mode3 and --quirk-vga-mode-3 (one is specified by HAL, and another by the man page..). However, I still haven't solved the problem that periodically my machine will still just fail to suspend. My impression is that SLEEP_MODULE="uswsusp" takes about half the time to suspend and resume, but that it's more unstable, where the failure mode is failing to resume. I don't know what else to try so for now I'm leaving it alone.]
I realized recently that my impression of the sanctity of marriage has been damaged most by anti-gay activists attempting to limit marriage to heterosexual couples. The message seems to be, "Marriage isn't for EVERYBODY who is in love, since some people who are obviously in love can't be married. Ergo, what else can it be besides a legal mechanism, a tax break/health insurance arrangement we give to some couples but not others?" Of course, as the child of an open marriage maybe I'm predisposed to think something like that.
So then what to make of this story about a man marrying his body pillow in Korea, via Suzanne? One commentator writes, "As long as the guy and the pillow are happy together who cares? I suspect that this is just another 'look at stupid johnny foreigner' photo opportunity. If the pillow had a Ph. D. they never would have published it."
Or how about the related stories I found when I was digging up that one: man marries a Barbie doll to appease the spirit of his dead wife, man in Japan weds video game character?

Spring is in the air, can you feel it?
I almost forgot what it feels like. It's been a long winter.
I love Uniqlo's ultra light down this time of year. It's a layer I like to keep on for that lingering winter breeze.
It's also when I can bring out my lighter weight cotton trousers and not freeze to death while exposing a little ankle.
The long length shirt is a tricky game to play and I won't do it often since it will surely truncate my already short legs. But as long as you layer it with something cropped, I don't see why not. It's all an illusion game so do allow yourself to explore different proportions with your layers. After all, raising the waistband up past the abs is not the only way to lengthen our stature. Surprise!

Our plan was to grow, and train, and become strong, and become one, and fight them. But they found us and started hunting us first. Now all of us are running. Spending our lives in shadows, in places where no one would look, blending in. We have lived among you without you knowing.
But they know.
They caught Number One in Malaysia.Number Two in England.And Number Three in Kenya.They killed them all.
I am Number Four.
I am next.

I Am Number Four is. . .surprisingly mushy for a Children's/Sci-Fi Book, not to mention having been written by a male author. *grimaces*
I don't dislike romance--I love it. However, this book has taken me completely by surprise with how mushy it is. I totally didn't expect that. The worse thing is, it's not even sweet. It's awfully corny. Ack. I about puked at all of Sarah and John's interactions. Romance is clearly far from Pittacus Lore's (or whoever he is) forte, if this book is any indication. I hope the next books are better than this, because I am definitely going to read the rest of the series.
Putting the author's failed attempt at romantic chemistry between his characters aside, I enjoyed this book. I'd say I like the plot, but it's mostly made up of Sarah and John's interactions as they fall in love, so. . .yeah. I like the the premise, though, no matter how common it is. I would have liked to see more action than what I got, like in the movie. The movie is definitely more action-packed than the book. The characters need a little more work; they lack character. (Is that what you call an irony?) There are a lot of details missing , which is vital to the plot, that caused confusion, but I hope I'll see them in the next books as the story and characters develop.
Despite the failed attempt at romance, I Am Number Four is very reader-friendly. The narration is very simple, so it's easy to adapt.

The Mean Game by John Wall Barger: Reviewed by Cameron MacKenzie/
"Release them," begins "Urgent Message from the Captain of the Unicorn Hunters," the opening poem of John Wall Barger's collection The Mean Game.
Release them. Those sealed in your attics.
Those chained in your barns. Those on the nightmare yokes.
Those heads on your walls. This is our fault.
The first lines drop us immediately into a realm of whimsy and atrocity, a realm in which much of Barger's collection finds its footing. The Captain continues:
Keep off, ye farmers of dreams & horns. We have done enough. Baiting them with our virgins.
Cutting the heads off the calves & their mothers.
Planting birthday candles in their eyes.
Fortune-telling with their gizzards.
Tossing their balls to the dogs.—Enough!
It isn't clear what will happen once the unicorns are free. The Captain himself confesses that he may have overstepped himself—has, perhaps "taken us too far." But this is not the time for dithering. "First," he says, "let them go. And then wait."
As to what those loosed unicorns might do, we have Barger's exhilarating, incantatory, and deliciously dangerous collection as evidence. Barger achieves these effects principally through the richness of a tone that harkens back to Beowulf via Borges. The antiquated language powers majestic and troubling visions that populate—and nearly overtake—the actual poems themselves. In "The Stiltwalkers," for instance, conquistador-esque riders enslave a simple people:
We designed their poverty from scratch.
Poured wine on each other's beards,
laughing, dubbing ourselves kings.
Introduced a law: the feet of each local
would be severed & upon each stump
a tall wooden stilt be sewn,
so they could not escape to the woods.
But the mutilated populace eventually rises up to annihilate the riders until only the speaker survives. By the end of the poem he slouches around the capital city in the disguise of a washerwoman, forced to wear stilts of his own in order to move unrecognized among the people. From his hiding places he now looks upon his former subjects with awe:
They have become eloquent
in walking. Running faster than we ever could.
Tall as birches. Their young born
Many of these poems could be read as perverse allegories, a poetic compendium of Grimm's nightmares. In that sense Barger seems to be exposing not only our bloody past or our dystopian fears about the future, but the horrors of a present we are too inured to see. The book at times works to conjure an old magic to shock us back into ourselves, but who can say what that old magic may also awaken? Indeed Barger's poems wrestle to break free of any sort of simple moralizing, desiring as they do something more pure, more ecstatic, more archaic.
In "Ash Baptism," a young boy explains how his civilization was swept away by an unrelenting and mysterious storm that is quieted only when he offers up his final possession, a Twinkie, to the wind. Suddenly, out of the maelstrom come a pack of flying monkeys.
….The largest,
The Grand Seigneur,
wore a sleazy grin.
Eyes gray, mouth gray.
"Let every living soul
prosper," he grunted.
"The Twinkie in your claw,"
I said, "is that the soul?"
He placed his bloodflecked crown
on my head. "All hail
the boy-king," he muttered,
grinning, in the ash.
When working with such almost Nietzschean tropes it could be easy for the language to get wooly or out of control, but the length of Barger's line consistently works to balance his themes. The short and clear and precise lines fly by with ease, creating an effect of sustained intoxication throughout the collection, a piling on of madness, innocence, corruption, and mystery, the book in total a rocket-ship ride through heroes and monsters given persistent life by quiet, subtle stylistic choices.
One of the last poems in the book, "Inconceivable Mansion," offers a vision that may be adapted for the collection as a whole. There, a living house made out of books, "wordless, preverbal...predatory," gives birth to a young girl, the First Woman. "Her first thought, Kill my sister."
Appalled by this (or overjoyed), the house spasms, dropping the girl to its basement where:
She steps into a McDonald's.
Presented with such bright
disorienting symbols, she points.
It has been a shitty day.
She slumps over her burger
at a booth beside the ball room
shipwreck. Objects are freed
of utility, unmoored. Kids stare,
eyes eaten by fish.
Amid the colorful balls a girl—
half vanished like a saint
ascending heaven
—strokes her sister's brow.
For the poem, this circular story of malevolence and regeneration seems to be but one in the infinite house of wordless books, but it is without question the principal story of Barger's work—the One Story, perhaps; a violent tale woven repeatedly in darkness for the sole purpose of providing a light in the otherwise "nothingness" through which "the mansion swims."
So the same for this book. The great achievement of The Mean Game is to bring an ancient world forth into the modern one, mapping its madness all too easily over our own. And if the poems of Barger's collection desire the heroic or yearn toward the sacred and the immortal in order to show us what we have been and could be, it would seem to be that very same desire which drives them back into annihilation, the abyss, the bloody end of the sagas. It is a tale of Icarus, perhaps, with nothing to be learned in the end other than the truth of who we are.
Cameron MacKenzie's work has appeared in Able Muse, The Rumpus, SubStance and The Michigan Quarterly Review, among other journals. His essays have been collected in The Waste Land at 90: A Retrospectiveand Edward P. Jones: New Essays. His novel The Beginning of His Excellent and Eventful Career, a novel about the early life of Pancho Villa, is now available. He teaches English at Ferrum College.

Design Wall Monday 06-05-17
Triangles (on top),
and more triangles.
All the triangles have been made for the Long Time Gone quilt top. I do have to confess that I changed the direction of the Flying Geese in the last block. My goal was a green center surrounded by the yellow, orange and red geese and I also liked the look of the green pinwheel in the middle. Once this block was completed, I sewed together the parts for Section 6.
The sections go together so quick and easy since the sashing had been added to blocks where possible and all the checkerboard blocks were completed.
All that is left to do is 12 Pineapple units for two blocks. The Pineapple blocks are the last one in Jen Kingwell's instructions and I have come to the conclusion that she did that deliberately to use up all the little bits & pieces left over from all the other blocks. I am still playing around with the color placement and plan to start these on Wednesday.
Check out all the quilty inspiration at Judy's Design Wall Monday.

Terrific project! Thanks for linking to Design Wall Monday. Did you visit #14 on the list (she is also making Long Time Gone)
I like what you did with the Flying Geese blocks. I'm still in the early stages of my Long Time Gone quilt. Thanks for the inspiration.
I like your color range that you are using.


text: When I found out that I had a day off during a production in Mexico City, I wasn't totally sure what to expect. Everyone tells you it's a sketchy place but when I was there it's full of culture, color, and amazing light. Here are a few images from my wandering around in Mexico City.

DES MOINES– It wasn't the ending they wanted, and the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers did everything they could to prevent it. In the end however, the Bluejays of Perry ended the Clippers' state soccer tournament appearance by handing Tim Benson's team a 2-1 loss in the quarterfinal round Thursday, June 5, at the Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines.
It was the third trip in four years for the squad, and the third time a championship was denied them.
Perry dominated the first 10 minutes of the match and scored in the ninth minute for a 1-0 lead.
DES MOINES– The West High Trojans were well on their way to a third straight state soccer championship when heavy rains at the Cownie Soccer Park in Des Moines on Saturday, June 7, postponed the finals match between West and Johnston to Tuesday, June 10 (during production of this edition).
The Trojans, under coach Brad Stiles, have earned four of the last five state championships. A win against Johnston would mean the first three-peat for boys soccer.
TIFFIN– The No. 3 Iowa City Regina Regals sank the State Soccer Tournament hopes of the sixth-ranked Clear Creek Amana (CCA) Clippers Monday night, June 9, in a Class 1A girls' regional final at Iowa City West.
The Regals ended CCA's season with a 4-1 loss and a 15-3 record.
RURAL SOLON– On April 22, 1969, Ronald "Steve" Durr was standing in the back of an Air Force C-123 cargo plane as it was departing a Special Forces camp deep in the jungles of Vietnam. It was a mission the staff sergeant and his crew had flown many times as they brought in vital supplies to the Green Berets, landing just long enough for Durr, the crew's loadmaster, to send the cargo down the plane's loading ramp as it took off again. The area was known to be a hotbed of enemy activity, and on this day the Viet Cong made their presence known.
TIFFIN– Weigh the anchor and trim the sails, the Clippers are casting off for Des Moines and Cownie Soccer Park.
The boys take field 6 for a Class 2A quarterfinal match at the state soccer tournament against Perry today (Thursday, June 5) at 2:35 p.m. A win advances Clear Creek Amana (CCA) to a 2:35 p.m. semifinal tomorrow (Friday, June 6). From there it's either to the consolation match Saturday (June 7) at 1:40 p.m. or the championship at 2:30 p.m.
IOWA CITY– The West High Trojans opened their 2014 campaign at home with a visit from the Benton Community Bobcats and a 5-0 win.
The Trojans went up on the scoreboard in the third inning when Brock Hatzky drove in Grant Ewing and made it to third on an error. A balk sent Hatzky home and moved Declan Doyle, who walked, to second. Devin Raffensperger blasted a ball down the right field line to the fence for a double, moving Doyle to third. Nate Boland fired a rocket down the left field line to score Doyle and give West a 3-0 lead.
OXFORD– With a new elementary school scheduled to open in Tiffin in the fall of 2015, the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) school board of directors is beginning the process of evaluating and redefining attendance area boundaries.
OXFORD– After all of the performers and their families and friends left, the remainder of the evening was comparatively bland.
Third, fourth and fifth grade choir members at Clear Creek Elementary (CCE) performed for the Clear Creek Amana school board during a regular meeting Wednesday, April 16, in the CCE library. Also on the venue were four CCA high school students who competed in the All-State Speech Contest at University of Northern Iowa on March 31.
IOWA CITY– The West High Trojans remained undefeated at 12-0 in the wake of a 1-0 victory at home Tuesday, May 6, over the Linn-Mar Lions.
Ryan O'Deen, a senior, took a pass from junior Peter Murry and fired a shot into the corner of the Lions' net to score roughly five minutes into the match. West held off the Lions to seal the shutout, despite withering attacks by the Lions in the final minutes.
Iowa City West held the top spot in the Iowa High School Soccer Coaches Association's May 3 rankings. City High was the No. 3-ranked squad and the Lions were No. 4.
IOWA CITY– As the final horn sounded and the teams headed for mid-field to shake hands, West High coach Dave Rosenthal was heard yelling out, "that was good soccer."
His Women of Troy held off the Cougars of Cedar Rapids Kennedy Friday, May 9, at Baker Field on the West High campus, improving their record to 7-1 in the MVC and 9-1 overall to hold the top spot in the Mississippi Division. West's only loss thus far came at the hands of Linn-Mar on Tuesday, May 6.
OXFORD– Starting this fall, every student in the Clear Creek Amana (CCA) middle school will have their own Chromebook personal computer to use in class and at home. The district's school board approved spending $157,739.50 to purchase 500 devices at its regular meeting Wednesday, April 16, at Clear Creek Elementary in Oxford.
IOWA CITY– The West High Women of Troy were ranked third in Class 3A by the Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union in its Friday, May 2, weekly rankings.
The team, coached by David Rosenthal had an 8-0 record after putting away the Mustangs of Dubuque Hempstead 2-1 Thursday, May 1, at home.

UK Men's Basketball
UNC-UK notes: Terrence Jones plays 'his best game,' Cal says
After Kentucky defeated North Carolina 73-72 Saturday, All-American Terrence Jones could not suppress a wide smile when a reporter told him of Coach John Calipari's praise. The self-conscious smile stayed in place for several seconds.
"I'm not used to that," Jones said of praise from the ever-demanding Calipari. "I like it when he tells me what's wrong. It makes me play better."
Against North Carolina, Jones did not let poor shooting affect his performance. He made only five of 14 shots (one of five from three-point range). But his busy stat line included seven rebounds, three blocks, two steals and an assist.
"That was his best game of the year," Calipari said, "and he was challenged by (the competition)."
Coincidentally, his mother, Linda, and his 88-year-old grandmother, Pearl Mashia, attended the game.
"Oh, it's wonderful," Jones' grandmother said of the UK-UNC experience. "I couldn't hardly sleep (Friday night) thinking about it."
Jones' family planned to return to Portland, Ore., Sunday. His grandmother has to return to her job. She works as a foster grandparent at an alternative high school.
"They love me," she said of her students. "They don't want me to quit."
Doesn't get easier
Senior Darius Miller suggested UK's next game — Saturday at Indiana — means this season won't get any easier.
"I actually told some of the guys it'll be the toughest environment we'll play in," he said of 5:15 p.m. tipoff in IU's Assembly Center. "It'll be extremely loud. Their team feeds off that."
UK snapped a four-game losing streak at IU with a 90-73 victory two years ago.
'That's a rivalry'
The current UK-UNC contract expired with Saturday's game. The idea of the teams not continuing the series was hard for freshman Michael Kidd-Gilchrist to believe.
"Of course we should keep playing," he said with an incredulous tone. "Of course. That's a rivalry, right there."
Kidd-Gilchrist, who posted career-highs of 17 points and 11 rebounds, suggested Kentucky get top billing if the series continues.
"We're the real blue, though," he said with a smile.
Grand attraction
UK spokesman DeWayne Peevy said he gave passes to 26 NBA officials. That's believed to be a record for a UK game, at least in recent seasons, he said.
That the NBA and its players' union reached a new collective bargaining agreement reduced the request for passes from 58.
Of the thought of trying to fit 58 NBA officials in Rupp Arena, Peevy said, "I was losing sleep."
Peevy also issued 309 media credentials. When UNC came to Rupp Arena two years ago, he issued 308 media credentials.
CPR celebration
Former UK cheerleader Vicki Sageser and the man whose life she saved, UNC fan John "Toby" Tyler, attended the game.
Tyler changed his mind about not wearing UNC colors. He wore a powder-blue sweater as he watched from an end zone seat about 12 rows from the court.
He also wore a UK blue Santa hat. "For Vicki," he said.
Sageser and Tyler plan to stage a "CPR celebration" from noon to 1 p.m. on Monday at UK's W.T. Young Library.
Shoe must go on
Kidd-Gilchrist saluted the shoes UK wears: The Nike Air Max LeBron 9. Named for LeBron James, Nike produced special editions of the shoes for UK, Ohio State and Miami.
"I love LeBron James," Kidd-Gilchrist said. "I do. He's a role model for us, too."
Coyle credits Barnhart
UK Deputy Director of Athletics Mark Coyle credited Mitch Barnhart for helping him become athletic director at Boise State.
"Mitch is so supportive," Coyle said of UK's A.D. "He puts you in situations where you learn. When you're talking to another school, you can say you've experienced that."
Coyle starts at Boise State in early January.
■ Calipari's record as UK coach when the opponent scores more than 67 points improved to 18-12. He's 54-1 when the opponent scores 67 or fewer points.
■ UK outscored UNC 36-14 in the paint, which was about at average (43.1-22.9). Despite the absence of a low-post anchor, the Cats have outscored every opponent in the paint.

Many people dream of having their own organic garden, but how many actually get around to doing it? Some people think gardening is just too complicated and are intimidated by the many details. The following article will give you some techniques that can be used to help you start growing your own organic garden.
It is important to do your homework so you choose plants that produce higher yields. In most circumstances, a cold-tolerant or disease-resistant hybrid will have a higher yield when compared to a more traditional variety.
Climbing plants and vines are great for covering fences and wall structures. Climbing plants are known to be very versatile, and can help hide any ugly wall or fence, and this often only takes one growing season. They can also grow through existing shrubs or trees, or be trained to cover an arbor. Some may need to be attached to a support, and others will attach themselves to any surface using their twining stems or tendrils. If you're looking for the most reliable varieties available, choose from clematis, wisteria, and climbing roses.
Pick the proper soil in order to get the best outcome. The type of plants you're planning to grow will determine the type of soil you need, and whether the soil will or will not be adapted. You can make an artificial area that uses a single kind of soil.
To achieve the best growing results, plants need sufficient carbon dioxide. Plants tend to grow better when the CO2 levels are higher. Greenhouses typically provide plants with high levels of CO2. It's very important to keep the CO2 levels high so your plants have the best possible growing conditions.
If your soil has high alkaline amounts, mix some coffee grounds into it. The coffee grounds provide a cheap way to re-supply needed acid to the dirt. The right soil will make your vegetables taste better and make your flowers more vibrant and aromatic.
Protect your delicate shrubs from harsh, wintry elements. Cold weather is very hard on these tender shrubs, and potted shrubs should be shielded and protected. You want to then tie the tops of the canes together, and cover them with a sheet or blanket. People sometimes use plastic to wrap their plants, but plastic can cause the plants to rot because it impedes air circulation.
If you find yourself in love with mint leaves, but not with how they dominate a garden, read on. Rein their growth; you can do this simply by planting mint inside a larger garden container or pot. If you would like the mint leaves to still be in the ground, simply plant the container, and the leaves will stay within the boundaries of the pot.
Apply organic mulch generously around your vegetable plants. Mulching helps keep moisture in the soil. It will also dramatically decrease weed growth. This will save you time, money, and effort in your lovely garden.
If you keep these various tips in mind, gardening should not be so daunting. Put this information to work for you in your organic garden and soon your kitchen will have an abundance of fresh, all natural and delicious produce.
