Updated on 12 June 2015
Carna Biosciences has signed a worldwide licensing agreement with Janssen Biotech Inc., one of the Janssen Pharmaceutical companies of Johnson & Johnson, to further develop and commercialize compounds from one of Carna Bioscience's small molecule protein kinase inhibitor programs.
Under the terms of the agreement, facilitated by Johnson & Johnson Innovation, California and Asia Pacific, Carna Biosciences will receive an initial upfront payment and is eligible to receive additional milestone payments upon achievement of certain developmental, regulatory, and commercial milestones. Carna Biosciences will also be eligible to receive tiered royalties on the net sales of commercialized licensed products.
Carna Biosciences is a biopharmaceutical company focused on the discovery and development of kinase inhibitor drugs to treat serious unmet medical needs in oncology, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, and neurological diseases by inhibiting kinases that are important drivers for those diseases. Carna Biosciences was founded in Kobe, Japan, in 2003 as a spinoff of Japan Organon (Nippon Organon KK).
"We are pleased to collaborate with Janssen to further develop one of our kinase inhibitor programs. Our hope is that our discovery efforts will someday make a meaningful difference in the lives of people living with immunologic disease," said Kohichiro Yoshino, PhD, Founder, President and CEO of Carna Biosciences. "This agreement with Janssen is an important first step towards the goal of discovering and developing significant therapeutic solutions for improving human health. Carna Biosciences will continue to identify and develop innovative compounds with strong potential as therapeutic kinase inhibitors. This agreement further empowers our team to passionately work towards developing and delivering superior drug discovery tools and therapeutic medicines for years to come."
Since its founding in 2003, Carna has built a powerful kinase drug discovery engine that has led to its current, rich pipeline of drug candidates in the preclinical stage. Carna has also established a vast collection of compound libraries consisting of kinase-focused and diverse molecules to maximize the success rate of screening. Carna's drug discovery efforts are supported by Carna's internally developed, proprietary profiling and screening technology, QuickScout, and by several other in-house drug discovery tools.

Despite the decent power consumption claims, AMD was at pains to point out that the HD 5970 has plenty of headroom for overclocking. As well as the chips themselves already being 'underclocked', the scope for boosting performance is aided by particularly high quality power management circuitry and the new cooler that AMD has employed. The latter uses a vapour chamber (essentially a flat heatpipe) to contact directly with the chips, with a conventional aluminium fin arrangement on top of this to dissipate the heat. This vapour chamber, and the rest of the cooling system, can actually cope with up to 400W of thermal dissipation.
AMD also pointed out that OEMs will have the option to use two 8-pin power connectors and significantly overclock its cards to sell at a premium. It will be some time before such cards arrive though.
As a consequence of the new cooling system, AMD has had to change its output configuration from the 'two dual-link DVIs, DisplayPort (DP), and HDMI' configuration we've seen on all previous 5000 series cards. Instead, one full slot of the output panel is given up to exhausting the card's heat and the other slot is home to two dual-link DVI ports and a mini-DP. Before getting too upset, though, remember that you could only use three of the four outputs at any one time on the other cards anyway. Furthermore, with DVI to HDMI and mini-DP to full-size-DP converters in the box, you'll still have all the various output configurations available in some form or other. The DVI/HDMI also supports digital audio output over HDMI like all previous AMD cards.
A first for this card is that it will support AMD's new Eyefinity multi-display technology, something that previous CrossFire setups couldn't do. This means you'll be able to game on three monitors at once with a total resolution of up to 7,680 x 1,600. Currently just 22 games are supported but this will of course increase over time. Meanwhile Eyefinity support will find its way to conventional Crossfire setups at the start of next year.
So, that's how the card stacks up physically and in terms of features but the real question as always is how does it perform? Read on to find out.

Brunton questioned whether any media is "truly dead," except in rare cases, such as the Rongorongo tablets found at Easter Island, which no one now knows how to read or even decipher the reason they were created.
This whole 4 page article came off as a bunch of gum flapping over semantics. If I say something is a "dead technology", I generally mean that very few people are using it.. not that it has completely disappeared from the face of the earth. I think the same is true of most people. Was the whole point of this to say that for most technologies, someone, somewhere, is still using it? If so it took a long damn time to make that point.
Also the fact that an older technology is somehow embodied in the new technology that supersedes it is a pretty damn obvious statement. We invent new things to do old things in a better way. Of _course_ my word processor incorporates the same concepts of the typewriter, it was designed to be a replacement for it!
Surmounting those barriers is as easy as having a computer with an internet connection. I'm not going to predict what the future holds, but today it is easier than ever to get into any form of media production. The software to produce video used to cost thousands. Now it comes with the computer. Audio production? Drop a few Hamiltons on a breakout box, or just a USB mic. Or stick to Line In. Photography? GIMP and an average P&S can produce results that will wow people. Programming? The tools for every major platform are free. Publishing is as easy as uploading.
Again, I'm not going to predict what the future holds, but end-to-end production of just about anything can be as cheap as the price of a low-end desktop.
If a subordinate asks you a pertinent question, look at him as if he had lost his senses. When he looks down, paraphrase the question back at him.

Product Details
Paperback: 432 pages
Publisher: Llewellyn Publications (January 8, 2012)
Language: English
The soul's vibrational rate, our spiritual frequency, has a huge impact on our lives. As it increases, so does our capacity to calm the mind, connect with angels and spirit guides, find joy and enlightenment, and achieve what we want in life.
This simple and inspiring guide makes it easy to elevate your spiritual frequency every day. Choose from a variety of ordinary activities, such as singing and cooking. Practice visualization exercises and techniques for reducing negativity, manifesting abundance, tapping into Universal Energy, and connecting with your higher self. Discover how generous actions and a positive attitude can make a difference. You'll also find long-term projects and guidance for boosting your spiritual energy to new heights over a lifetime.
Portion of Introduction
What is frequency? It is the intensity of our spiritual energy within our bodies. It can be low, high, or just sort of in between. Each of us has our own unique frequency, which exists in direct relation to the culmination of all our life's experiences (past and present), outside influences, internal joy, and overall happiness. Where we choose to focus our attention and thoughts is what determines what level our energy is residing on at any given time.
The term frequency is relatively new in the metaphysical community. Previously this internal energy was called personal vibration, vibrational level, or vibrational rate, and many people still use these terms interchangeably. It's only been in the last few years that we've taken the word frequency from the scientific community—where it is generally used in physics to mean "the number of regularly occurring events of any given kind in a unit of time, usually one second or the number of cycles or completed alternations per unit of time in a wave or oscillation"—and applied it to how we perceive changes in our personal vibrational rate. If you consider our internal energy in this way, as frequency, then the more regularly occurring positive events, the faster our energy will oscillate.
The faster our energy moves, the higher its rate of frequency. So if we're trying to bring more positive factors into our lives, then we're increasing the number of regularly occurring positive events, thereby raising the energy within our body.
If you harbor negative feelings like fear, doubt, jealousy, envy, impatience, insecurity, imbalance, hatred, or judgment, you will live on the low end of the energy spectrum. This is because you're focusing on the negative in your life instead of the positive. Someone with an abundance of positive feelings like joy, happiness, elation, centeredness, love, peace, harmony, balance, kindness, compassion, and understanding will be at a higher vibrational level because they are focusing on the positives in their life. When you are able to look inside your own soul and see yourself for who and what you truly are—a spiritual being with lessons to learn in life—or when you look at the spiritual laws of the Universe and see the bigger picture, you are elevating your spiritual energy. You'll feel it; you'll know deep inside that you are different or have transformed your emotions because you attuned yourself with the principles of the Universe. Personal spiritual growth creates, nurtures, and elevates your frequency.
A Few Ways to Raise Your Frequency
23. Triggers
Noticing the things around you that act as a trigger or catalyst to an increased state of joy, happiness, and higher energy levels is an important step in your development. Start to really look for the things around you that cause your energy to soar. Is it the smell of fresh brewed coffee? Does the sight and sound of a bird singing in a nearby tree, filling the air with song, cause you to feel joy? Does the feeling of a heartfelt hug from a family member give you a sense of love and belonging? Maybe your trigger is something as simple as sitting alone and enjoying the silence, connecting to your spiritual self, and communicating with your guides. Is it the smile on the face of an excited child? Or the happy antics of your dog when you get home from work? All of these examples are triggers because they catapult your energy to a higher plane filled with happiness, peace, and love. Once you've determined what your triggers are, you can purposefully use them as an instigator for future exercises. That's what taking this path is about: finding the triggers in life that cause your energy to move into higher rates of vibration when you connect with universal energy, which in turn brings you contentment and bliss.
*Become consciously aware of things that inspire love and joy.
65. Going with the Flow
When you're making your way through life, it's easier to go with the flow around you instead of fighting it. What I mean by "going with the flow" is that you don't get upset over things you cannot change, no matter how disruptive they can be in your life. Have you ever noticed that when you're having problems, you no longer feel as if you're moving in the same direction as the energy around you? I know that I can feel blocked at every turn at times, and there is usually a reason or lesson in the situation. The awareness of noticing that I'm blocked enables me to see where I'm no longer moving in the same way as the positive energy around me. I certainly don't want to be moving in sync with a river of negative energy! To keep my life as easy and drama-free as possible, I look for the reasons behind these blocks and remove them to bring myself back into balance and go with the flow. Driving is a good metaphor for how this idea can manifest on the earthly plane. When you're driving, you can't control what others do, but you can maintain an even keel instead of getting angry and frustrated at their actions. If you do get upset, you just need to pull over and release the anger and frustration before driving again.
This doesn't mean you simply do whatever seems easiest in any given situation, but that you try to follow the most harmonious path to your goal. The right choice may be a difficult one on some levels, but you will be able to see how it really fits with the flow of Universal Energy.
*In times of trouble, determine whether you're going against the flow or with it.
171. Your Spiritual Truth
Spiritual truth is who you are at your essential core part of your being on a soul level. Consider it to be the genuineness of your soul. Each of us has our own truth to live by, and what is right for one may not be right for another; therefore, it's important not to judge others as you make this journey. You do not know what's right for them. You may not agree with their truth—and that's your right—but you do not have to judge them as wrong either. Living your spiritual truth means allowing others to live their own spiritual truth as well. When you understand what your spiritual truth is, then many aspects of your life will become clearer to you. Are you a pessimist, an optimist, a caregiver, or an artisan? All of these help define who you in this plane of existence, but do they accurately describe who you are at your core spiritual essence? If a description is negative, then it does not define the spiritual you.
If you're not sure what your spiritual truth is, or how to find out what it is, you need to ask yourself some key questions. You can think about these questions all day long in the back of your mind; you don't have to do any special meditation or creative visualization to achieve results. Some of the questions you want to consider are as follows: Am I a nice person, or am I cranky and mad all the time? Do I give of myself, or am I stingy with my time? The world ends for someone every day; if my world ended tomorrow, would I die happy? Do people respect me for my integrity and honesty? What are my beliefs about the soul, the Universe, and God? Am I comfortable with those beliefs, or do I feel there is something deeper going on that I haven't discovered yet? Do I feel whole in mind, body, and spirit? Am I being true to my beliefs? Is there more I can learn to understand my reason for being and my spiritual truth? Today, just ruminate over these questions and see what comes of it. Remember to record your thoughts in your frequency journal.
As you go through life, there will be times when you know that you have hit on a key Universal Truth. Someone will say something or you'll think something and suddenly you'll get goose bumps all over your body and feel icy cold. This is the sign from the Universe that you have hit upon a Universal Truth that is unique to you. The next time it happens to you, pay attention to what was said or done seconds before the wave of coldness came over you. These moments provide great insight into your spiritual truth.
*You may have to dig deeper to find your truth but once you do, you will feel more secure within your spirituality.
166. Recognize and Appreciate the Gifts in Your Life
When you consider the gifts in your life, what comes to mind? Is it a family member, a friend, a job, or a home? Did you think about love and happiness? It could be your psychic, mediumistic, or healing abilities. Gifts come in many shapes and sizes, tangible and intangible. You can recognize the gifts in your life by considering what brings you the most joy. Try not to take the gifts you've been given in this life for granted. They may not be always be with you, so appreciate them while they're in your life. People move away, life changes, and things happen that will alter your gifts. The gift you have today may become someone else's gift tomorrow so that you are open to receive a new gift to appreciate.
Gifts are the manifestation of positive energy that will allow you to move further along your spiritual path through sharing something with another person, learning, or becoming enlightened. Too often we don't recognize the gifts in our lives until they're gone. You may be so bogged down in other things that you take the gifts you're given for granted. Begin today by appreciating and acknowledging the gifts in your life. If your number one gift is a person, let them know today how much they mean to you.
*Take inventory of the gifts you've been honored to receive.
239. Close Your Eyes and Look Beyond
There's an old saying that sometimes you can't see the forest for the trees when you're in a tough situation. Everyone else around you might see the forest, the truth of what is happening, but you're just lost, looking at one tree and then another, unable to see the overall picture of what you're going through. How can you raise your energy in times like these?
First, see yourself involved in the situation; be cognizant of the way you interact with the other people involved. Look at the situation, let the scenes of what you're going through unfold in your mind as if it's on a movie screen. Now imagine trees growing up from the ground, filling in the area until you can't see anything but the trees. The people you were with are lost somewhere within the trees. You can no longer see rooms, buildings, or roads that may have been part of the scene playing out in your mind. There's nothing in front of you but the trunks of trees, the bark rough against your hands, their leaves high above you in a canopy that keeps you in the shade or dark. You feel the coolness of the forest and the dirt beneath your feet. Close your eyes. Imagine that you are standing still and the trees are moving away from you at a great speed. The trees somehow rush away from you, leaving you in the open. When you feel that the trees are no longer surrounding you, open your eyes. The forest is now in the distance and the situation you are involved in is being played out, your part included, in a clearing just outside of the forest. It's far away but you can hear and see everything that is going on as if you're right there. Watch the situation from the outside looking in. Now you see the forest, the whole situation, and not just the trees, those individual events you're involved in. Listen closely to what the people are saying and the actions they're taking as you watch the situation unfold before you.
Look at how you act and respond to them. Now that you've stepped back, do you see something different? Do you notice emotions you couldn't see before? Are you at fault in any way, or is someone acting without your best interest at heart? Do you see something in yourself that you don't like? Now is the time to face the truth of the situation and make changes in your life to improve it.
*See the forest of your personal circumstances for greater understanding and clarity.
247. Connect with the Frequency of Air
When you connect to the frequency of air, it's different from connecting to the wind. Yes, wind is air in motion, but for this exercise I want you to think of air instead of wind. To connect to the air, imagine it as being completely still around you. It's unmoving, so still that you can almost touch it. Take a deep breath, feel the air as you inhale and exhale. Move your arms and feel the air around you. Does it have a positive or negative charge? Sometimes the air around us is positively charged and there may be a calm stillness to it. There's nothing happening, nothing going on, the wind's not blowing, the air is just still. Now breathe in that positively charged air. How does it feel? Is it increasing your energy as it fills your lungs? It should. Now what if the air is negatively charged? How can you tell? If you're sitting in a room and the air is negatively charged, you're not going to feel so great. You're going to feel anxious or nervous or something will feel off. There is a way you can correct a negatively charged air feeling. When you breathe out, use creative visualization to positively charge the carbon dioxide that you're breathing out. When that breath is released, imagine all of those positive particles converting all the negative particles in the room to positive as they touch them.
Through creative visualization, you've changed the way you feel about the charge in the air. You've changed it from a negative to a positive and have increased your frequency. You have to breathe to live, right? Start to become more aware of each breath that you take. Feel the air invigorate and energize you. Every time that you're aware of your breathing, think about increasing your energy by converting any negativity around you to positivity. Every time you move through the air, even if the air is still, use creative visualization to imagine something positive. You may imagine that you're swimming through the air. The air may feel thick and you have to force your way through it—not in a negative way, but as if you're feeling the resistance of the air around you. All of these things increase your frequency because you're making yourself utilize and influence something that you can't even see.
*Feel the stillness; in it you will connect to your soul.

They split up in 1996 with all the acrimony, bitterness and frozen silences of lovers, breaking the hearts of millions of teenage girls.
But yesterday, the five band members of the "boy" band Take That – Robbie Williams, Gary Barlow, Howard Donald, Jason Orange and Mark Owen – announced they had recorded a new album as a fivesome for the first time in 15 years, in the schmaltzy language of reuniting lovers.
"I get embarrassingly excited when the five of us are in a room," said Williams. "It feels like coming home."
As Take That's veteran singer, Williams has until now forged a successful solo career while his former bandmates reformed as a four-piece band in 2005 and climbed back up the charts.
Now he's back for good, it appears, or at least long enough for the band to release a new studio album as a five-piece band, due out in November.
All five singers have written the songs for the record.
The last time they were all in the same recording studio was in 1995, when their fresh faces matched their marketing label as Britain's biggest boy band. But months after bringing out their number one album Nobody Else, an intense enmity was sparked between Williams and Barlow.
Williams wanted to introduce hip hop and rap to the band's squeaky clean pop ballads and his friendship with Orange and Barlow became fractious. During one of the last rehearsals before a tour was due to begin in 1996, Williams left the band under a cloud.
Yesterday, all that was forgotten. Orange said it was "flippin' brilliant", adding: "I'm over the moon that Robbie's back with us, however long it lasts. I just want to enjoy our time with him. Life is beautifully strange sometimes."
Cynics will no doubt sneer at Williams' fortuitous timing at rejoining the band, when Take That is riding high once more. A reunion between the five took place in New York last September, following Take That's recording-breaking "The Circus Live" tour. Rumours of the album had been rife ever since Williams revealed earlier this year that he was releasing a single, "Shame", with Barlow.
The band formed in 1990 when they were still teenagers. They went on to win seven Brit Awards, had five number one albums and 11 number one hits.
Take That timeline
1989 Manager Nigel Martin-Smith holds auditions for a band. Take That forms

Terra Firma Irma "cover"
Years ago I was asked to contribute a piece of art to a charity auction. I didn't have the slightest idea what to do so I sketched around until I came up with this...
cover art,
Terra Firma Irma,
Unpublished work
9 comments:
Kevin, I also wanted to say I am a fan of your art and this is a great example of an artist who has the total package - the lettering, the staging and layout, a beautiful cover design in the old EC-ish way, a beautiful realistic female being menaced by those excellently crafted hellish imps, the big fat one and his curly tail, the curve of the landscape - so very nice! You are a very talented artist!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Now, how can I arrange to show off some of your beautiful black and white artwork on that blog? It doesn't have to be a story, it can be a few beauties like the work above. What a great B & W composition! If you feel like something like that can be possible, please email me back on the blogsite...
Thanks Kevin!

One hundred and fifty years ago, thousands of African-American slaves risked punishment, family separation, and even their lives to reach the freedom waiting for them on Roanoke Island. The story of the Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island has a rich heritage--colony descendants still reside on the island today.
On Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 10:00 a.m., the National Park Service will present a ceremony to commemorate the sesquicentennial of the establishment of the Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony. The public is welcome to attend this event to remember the Freedmen's Colony and celebrate this first 150 years of freedom.
As the Freedmen's story is one of journeys--from slavery to freedom, from land of masters to land of self-determination, from the mainland to Roanoke Island-this commemoration will be an event of "journey" also. The event will start at 10:00 a.m. at the Dare County Old Swimming Hole Park at 410 Airport Road, Manteo, NC and, from there, the event will then "journey" to the visitor center at Fort Raleigh National Historic Site. The Old Swimming Hole Park is the closest public property to the lands that were occupied by the Freedmen's Colony. Fort Raleigh National Historic Site displays the First Light of Freedom Marker, which honors the Freedmen's Colony.
Speakers will include Superintendent Barclay Trimble, Dare County Commissioner Virginia Tillett (Freedmen's Colony descendent), Park Ranger Darrell Collins (Freedmen's Colony descendent), and Dr. Patricia Click, author of Time Full of Trial: The Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony.
Formally established on May 14, 1863, the Freedmen's Colony became home to 3,500 former slaves--men, women, and children. It was the first community of its kind in North Carolina. At its height, the colony provided its residents with land to farm, schools to obtain an education, places to worship, and jobs to learn skills and earn a living.
The Freedmen's Colony of Roanoke Island was a very important first step on a journey for equality and freedom that still continues.It is for that reason that those Freedmen and their descendants, who remained here after closure of the colony in 1867, have called the Roanoke Island Freedmen's Colony the "First Light of Freedom".

Vinyl printing on garments is an excellent alternative to traditional printing. This type of printing utilizes a computer and vinyl machine to cut your design into vinyl, and is then heat pressed onto the garment. Vinyl printing is best for rush jobs, same day printing, as well as clients wanting an alternative look to the traditional ink style methods of DTG and screen printing. New techniques involving gold and iridescent foils, as well as the highly reflective 3M material, fall under this category of printing.
Screen printing is the most traditional and widely accepted as the best method for garment printing. Modern screen printing uses highly sophisticated automatic and manual presses to quickly print many shirts in a assembly-line process. A design is broken down into separate colors representing different screens, ink is applied, and physically pushed through the screen onto the garment. Screen printing is ideal for large production jobs.
Direct to Garment Printing also known as "DTG" is the most modern process for printing on garments. Here at BCCO we use a Kornit printer, which is revered as the best direct to garment printer on the market today. This printing method is ideal for customers looking to print photographs, as well as other images that have many colors. DTG is an excellent alternative to screen printing, as you can print as few as a couple shirts without all of the costs!
Dye Sublimation printing is a new technique utilized for clients who desire all over printing. Ideal for large oversize prints, this method has become extremely popular in recent years. Centrally reserved for 100% polyester garments, dye sublimation can be printed along both the front and back of the shirt resulting in a look that is unparalleled with other printing methods.
Heat transfer printing is the most cost effective printing method on the market today. This style utilizes high quality fabric paper which is put into a high density inkjet printer and then cut out and heat pressed onto your garment. Whether you're looking for a quick bachelorette shirt, or a fashion photographic print, heat transfer is your solution in a time crunch.
Embroidery is the art of thread onto garment. We offer numerous types of embroidery including 3D "puff" embroidery for baseball caps, normal embroidery, athletic "tackle twill", as well as patches of any size and design. Embroidery is one of the best ways to set your business apart with a simple statement of quality.
Need artwork? Our graphic design team is highly experienced at turning your ideas into reality! Utilizing programs such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign, we are here to help you create quality artwork that you will make you stand out in today's fast paced society. We create business cards as well that are sure to set your brand apart from the competition. Rates are hourly, and once completed we send you files of the completed design for future use.
At BCCO we are here to help you build your brand we encourage clients to differentiate themselves in their perspective niche market. Building a successful brand is tough, thus a successful strategy is vital for long term prosperity in our overly saturated society. We offer hourly counseling on how to think differently and stand out from the competition.
Classic cut and sew. Let us take care of the headache's so you don't have too. We can supply the materials or you can provide them. Made in the USA, we cater to the best fair trade and working conditions.
At BCCO we understand that attention to detail is what can turn a prospective buyer into a loyal customer. We offer tagging services such as applying hang tags to your finished garments, as well as sewing pre-made woven tags into your shirts at any location you desire. This aspect of production is overlooked all too often, and can be the breaking point for a brand destined for success.
One of the best ways to promote yourself and brand is a clean cut sticker. We print high quality stickers offering gloss and matte finishes for all your sticker needs. We only require a minimum of 50 stickers to begin an order! And remember, everyone loves a good sticker.
Custom patches are one of the finest forms of embroidery. Patches are excellent for outerwear such as uniforms, button down jackets, hats, as well as many other garments. There is no minimum or maximum for patch orders, and we guarantee you will love our work.

Morena Baccarin on Firefly's 10 year anniversary, Comic-Con and diversity.
She couldn't be at yesterday's panel but to make up for it, there's a very good interview with her at The Huffington Post.
The interview mentions a video she wanted to shoot/was shooting to be shown at the panel. Was there one? They had clips there but they got cut out of the YouTube video.
"Do you know who wrote/created the character?" Really? Some odd questions, but nice answers. Too bad they haven't reached out to all of the cast yet for the special. I hope in they get everyone involved somehow.
That's the first time, that I remember anyway, anyone mentioning that Inara was Kai's suggestion. Did we know this already and I just somehow missed or forgot it? (Given that was the answer, the question turned out not to be so "odd".)

Two Professors Tackle The Pseudoscience Of Making An Ass Out Of You And Me
Typecasting: On the Arts and Sciences of Human Inequality
By Ewen and Ewen
Seven Stories Press
Edition: Hardcover
by Zak M. Salih
A giant, rampaging ape adorns the front cover of Typecasting: On the Arts and Sciences of Human Inequality, and he's carrying a white woman in distress. Bug-eyed and gaping-mouthed, the beast stares directly at you while his victim shields her face and writhes in his grasp. Where he's taking her and what he plans to do with her is anyone's guess, but in looking at the cover image two things are certain: that white woman's time is up, and that ape is one ugly motherfucker.
All this focus on the book's cover isn't superfluous. Judging outward appearances is what this massive sociological study is all about. The aforementioned image, with its odd King Kong theme, is in actuality a U.S. Army propaganda poster from WWI urging Americans to enlist and save their white women from the "mad brute" of foreign military might--and it's only the tip of the frightening iceberg that professors Elizabeth and Stuart Ewen, writing here under their nom de plume of Ewen and Ewen, unearth.
"The complexity of modern existence, and the global reach of contemporary society, made it impossible for people to make sense of the world on the basis of firsthand knowledge," they explain. So what better way to document said complexity than through the elaborate pseudoscience that evolves throughout the course of the book, the kind of theory libertarian ABC News correspondent John Stossel would no doubt call "junk science?"
The first half of Ewen and Ewen's book is a veritable roll call of the founding fathers of physiognomy. Prominent among these is Johann Caspar Lavater, whose experiments focused on the incline of a forehead and the hook of a nose to weed out perverts, misers, and morons. Orson Squire Fowler's pioneering work in phrenology--on which Typecasting spends too much time--probed the shape and feel of the human head to discern intelligence and morality. Both scientists, and their ilk, contributed to a mode of superficial thought rooted in facial features and body shapes--ideas that reached their apex in the unsettlingly popular eugenics movement of the early 20th century, which championed the forced sterilization and extermination of races and classes deemed unfit for healthy society.
Most interesting about Ewen and Ewen's study is how intertwined the business of typecasting is with the business of entertainment and, by extension, the business of making an easy buck. From the early days of the curiosity cabinet, in which rare specimens of human oddity were organized like displays, up through the heyday of P.T. Barnum's freak shows, minstrelsy performances, and popular movies, stereotypes entertained the masses for just the right price. In innocent victims of spectacle like Saartjie Baartman (known as "The Hottentot Venus") and Ota Benga, a captured Congolese pygmy thrown into the Bronx Zoo for a month, we see the impact these vast sociological viewpoints have on the individual human being. As with most works of this nature, the personal stories, not the grand historical movements, are what keep you emotionally attached to such a strange cultural era.
... Ewen and Ewen treat their topic with open minds; they never point fingers at a particular invention or cast blame upon an individual sideshow baron. Then again, they don't have to--the 21st-century reader does all that for them. Hindsight being what it is, no one can read Typecasting and not mull over the sheer idiocy of the human race and the relative ease with which all these disastrous ideas became so commonplace for so long--and in many ways still are, according to the authors.
... Typecasting remains a frightening exploration of how dominant cultures (read: old white European men) have turned stereotyping into a potent art form and racism into a practical science. Ultimately, the gaggle of phrenologists, psychoanalysts, sideshow barons, curators, and filmmakers are the real freaks on display here, their xenophobic modes of thought more of a human aberration than sunken eyes, small heads, and short statures.

Matcha-Thon for the rest of today...who's in?
Azzrian and I were chatting…I just started my own personal Matcha-thon for the rest of today…anyone else want to play?
Okay I will do it – I have two samples from Amanda to try, and some samples I still have enough of from other generous steepsters – other than that just some pretty basic matcha I have had around but not too favorable of.
I need to get some choices made on my first Red Leaf order (as you know from our PMs) so I am totally in this with you!
Will go make my first now .. I'm thinking PEACH :)
Oooo Peach!? Niiiice! Want me to send the rest of my Chocolate Read Leaf to you?
You know I do. lol
wow you pump out the matcha making like a pro!
I am still learning so taking my time not to mess it up.
I want to make another before going to get my daughter from work but I can't push it with only sample sizes to make.
Holding off till I return but drooling wanting more lol
Ahh… no. I have already downed a tea shot for energy (busy trying to clean up the garage, it's a HUGE job, but it has to get done!) and if I drink Matcha for the rest of the day, I'll never settle down so that I can sleep. LOL!
I will do it.
I need to write some long reviews, may as well fuel myself as I do them ;)
First in the cup will be… Caramel & Banana Matcha!
I wish I could. Six hours of work left and next to no matcha left. )= I have to spend two hours squinting at microfiche, so I'd certainly need it.
But if I don' work, no more matcha…sigh.
I'm in! I am super tired so this is just what I need.
I have never tried a matcha tea. :S Anyone recommend a good one to start with?
@BoxerMama – I generally suggest starting with a pure, unflavored Matcha because it will give you a foundation on what Matcha is like … there are a lot of flavored Matcha out there, and it's easy to get yourself hooked on those (they're so yummy!) but, a pure Matcha will give you an idea of what Matcha is like first. My personal favorite is the Organic Ceremonial Matcha from Aiya, although it's a bit pricy. If you're on a budget, I'd recommend Den's Tea because it's really good, and a bit more modestly priced. If you prefer to forgo the shipping, visit your local Whole Foods (if you have one nearby) and check out DoMatcha. They're really good too, not real inexpensive, but, when you factor in the fact that you're not paying shipping costs, that might be the most economical option overall.
Has anyone ever tried the White matcha from Red Leaf?
More specifically their flavored white matcha.
Yes! I have…I think I reviewed it! I have it on hand here but will have to wait until tomorrow to re-try it
I could not find any flavored white matcha reviews under Red Leaf but just curious how the white is with flavor over the green. Thanks keep me posted please :)
Here is a link to my review of the white Matcha from Red Leaf: http://sororiteasisters.com/2011/11/16/white-matcha-from-red-leaf-tea/ It's different from the green matcha, but still very good.
I contemplated ordering the Bavarian Cream matcha. It's a sort of morbid curiosity akin to watching Oreos being fried at the county fair…
I would, if I had more than one kind, not much of a marathon, Unfortunately it is Teavana's. Free tins the boss lady gave us when their expiration dates came around, she was convinced they were still good though sealed. I may actually toss the one I have had open for months and pop open the sealed one as I am wary. I would love to have some mango, raspberry or carmel and apple matcha to be drinking, you all have me drooling. Need to take advantage of Red Leaf's review offer. Perhaps I will do something creative with what I have on hand. I could make my own matcha and local bee pollen latte (nothing on hand for smoothies). Anyone ever made matcha pancakes? Ooo I know I can make my own watermelon matcha!

laying insulation over wiring in attic
I hope that wiring isn't K&T.
Insulation around K&T is a big no-no :whistling2: |
So what's the question?
I think she thinks she's on twitter :eek: :laughing:
Thank you DM |
Industrial grade huh. Of course, why can't they make stuff to last like they did back in the day, when unions were not involved, and there was pride in workmanship.
its about the "load" on that wire. when there is too many things running on that wire, the wire gets hot. when the wire gets very hot, it makes things around it very hot. whether or not a fire starts because of this, depends on how close and what type of combustibles are around that wire. sure, if there is no "suffocation" going on, chances of a fire are lower. if the wire is not "overloaded", then a fire will not happen. |
Tell that to the United States National Electric Code (NEC). Your reasoning may be true in a perfect world but that discounts the whole purpose for insulation, which is to isolate heat in or out, in this case inside the wiring jacket made out of old flammable cotton cloth. No one here is talking about over loading the wires capacity. The whole reason why K&T was suspended in air was so that it could dissipate heat. Not necessarily heat from a overloaded circuit, but just normal dally heat from normal electric current. When you take away that heatsink (in this case the air) and surround the wire with insulation, the knob and tube wires are no longer suspended in air, and naturally will become hotter than intended. Anyway I'm not here to debate the facts which should seem obvious. I was only trying to help. Once a fire starts you can debate your opinion with it, and the insurance company. Speaking of the NEC, it doesn't appear that you were aware that the United States National Electric Code (NEC) section 324-4, actually forbids the use of loose, blown-in, or expanding foam insulation over Knob and Tube wiring. I wonder why? :whistling2: |

Atelier rzlbd has just completed a house in Toronto, Canada with an open floorplan and lots of natural light.
From the architect:
Five out of six is the key formula to the brightness and openness in this house. In a city where severe weather conditions created houses with small openings, and many residents with SADs, the residents in this house will experience daylight to its fullest level in both winter and summer days. 5/6 House is an attempt to save on light bulbs!
In the same fashion as in a Rubik's cube 5 out of 6 modules shift in every level to form the living spaces, and one is removed to allow for visual communication and natural light. When on the ground floor a void opens up to the basement, and on the upper level a floor is removed to form a double height living room below, the light playfully finds its way through the cuts and slices to travel from the front of the house to the end in the kitchen and through the void into the basement where one could watch the tips of the trees outside the house, stay connected to the outside world and never feel lower than ground. The reflection pool in the basement floor helps the mechanical system by producing reasonable amount of moisture and creating a microclimate condition. The sound of falling water into the pool along with the natural light soften the atmosphere and creates a poetic space to live in.
The circulation around the house merges with public spaces in the lower level and forms a corridor on the upper level to connect the more private spaces of the house, i.e. bedrooms and bathrooms. The main open concept staircase emerges from inside the void and allows for constant visual connection through the void and onto the reflection pool.

I think it interesting that a Black Rider storyline from consecutive issues of his title straddled the pre-and-post Comics Code eras. Black Rider #27, dated March 1955, was the last before the Code was implemented. The comic book's title changed to Western Tales of Black Rider with #28, dated May 1955, and carried the Comics Code seal. "The Spider Strikes" and "The Return of the Spider" show some differences.
In the first story, a dead man has a large and hideous brand of the villainous Spider on his back; in the next story the brand has been changed to a very small black image of a spider on the chest of a victim. (I'm less surprised at that change than I am that they were allowed to show a dead man.) Mention is made in issue #28 by Black Rider that whomever had been living in the cave he was exploring shared it with a skeleton, but a crude crosshatch has been inked over the skeleton, so it can barely be seen. There are a couple of other minor things that I'm reasonably sure the Code demanded.
The penciling for both stories is attributed to Syd Shores, who had a long run on the character. Inking for "The Spider Strikes" is attributed to Chrisopher Rule, with no guesses for the inker of "The Return of the Spider."

The magneto-elastic shock waves propagations is studied and the eventual occurens of characteristic shock is investigated. Three propagation modes are founded which correspond to three different values of the propagation velocity and it is noticed that only one of the three shock waves is, in genera, characteristic. Finally, having stated some realtions among propagation velocities,the different behaviour of H2 across the three shock surfaces, associated with the transverse, slow and fast waves, is pointed out

Tallman Mountain state park
This morning late breakfast at 9:00 and at 11:00, we went for a long walk in Tallman Mountain state park. Wonderful weather and scenery, Some trees started to turn orange or red. We also found some mushrooms (orange and yellow). When I was taking some pictures, a group of people came and told us that this fungus is called ...
Off we go!
... we make it? We've loaded up with tent, sleeping bags, camping gear, about 6 rubbermaid containers full of ****...ey-yi-yi....and a full day of rain. We will drive as long as I can take it, with a stop for lunch with my lovely nieces in Ithaca, and on to a view of Niagara in the rain. I have the birth certificates loaded for crossing borders with kids, and I think we will start out listening to Matilda...I need something to make me laugh. Roald Dahl always ...
Counting the days?
... br> On the bus now, it really is like going to school. The German lady, whose name I forget and a new guy. I really should have put a counter on how many people I have met in my time here. Such an eclectic, yet so similar bunch of people. The new guy is not very talkative. He sounds British, are we really that much more reserved? He has quite a posh accent, but so far conversation has revolved around him asking where Bethany's office ...
"Stop and Shop"
... then realised I wanted butter...which was with the milk. I'm surprised I wasn't dizzy by the end of it.
I picked up the basics like rice and pasta. And I even found some baked beans (which the girl at the check out said were really good. The jury is still out on that one, as I had pizza tonight for my tea). I wanted some oreos too, as they are comparatively low fat biscuits (stupid low fat diet. Sometimes I really disapprove of Doctors Orders. Yes, ...
Day 17-20: Hastings on Hudson and NYC
... the grand finale—the 102nd floor observatory of the Empire State building. As we approached the building we saw that the top portion of the skyscraper was lit with rainbow themed lighting, likely for Pride weekend, which looked superb. My best friend Corey told us how great the view is at night after he visited NYC recently ( Thanks Corey…you're a blues!). This was the moment that solidified the idea of how huge NYC really is.

Jesus, Thine All-Victorious Love
From Wikisource
Jesus, thine all victorious love
shed in my heart abroad;
then shall my feet no longer rove,
rooted and fixed in God.
O that in me the sacred fire
might now begin to glow;
burn up the dross of base desire
and make the mountains flow!
O that it now from heaven might fall
and all my sins consume!
Come, Holy Ghost, for thee I call,
Spirit of burning, come!
Refining fire, go through my heart,
illuminate my soul;
scatter thy life through every part
and sanctify the whole.

As good as our Starbucks Coffee remains hot for an hour or longer. Since it only holds 8 cups its a bit difficult for a party over six people. We've had several positive comments on the full flavor & that the temperature remains constant . We do not mind that it is minus all the bells & whistles, just a simple brew button makes life easy.

MAKES A GREAT CUP OF COFFEE This coffee maker made a big difference in the taste of my coffee compared to the XXXXXXXXX. The higher temperature of the brewing process and the shower head for distributing the hot water over the grinds is what makes the difference. Overall, I'm pleased but here are a few comments. First, the quantity of coffee it can make is smaller than most coffee makers so be prepared for that. I don't make a lot at a time so that is not a problem for me. Second, the auto-off seems to stay on too long. I have the thermos pot model so there is no reason to keep the power on after it is finished brewing but I have to manually shut it. It is well made but it is hard to see what is driving the price well over $XXX, but given the results in terms of taste, I'm still happy with this purchase.

Bonavita Coffeemaker After reading reviews of the Bonavita, my husband and I decided to purchase this wonderful coffeemaker. Overstock had an exceptional price on it, so we immediately purchased it. We were not disappointed. This is THE coffeemaker for folks who are coffee aficionados. You must read the manual well before using, since there are some instructions that need to be followed. We like the fact that the carafe keeps the coffee fresh and hot without sitting on a heater, turning the coffee bitter and old. Only wished we had made purchase sooner.

love it Simple, but delicious coffee! Easy to set up, pouring does not splash all over. I use mine with a wall timer for those moments when I want to wake up to a fresh pot. This brewing set up is so simple compared to previous coffee makers, it seems like no work and little wait to great coffee. Clean up is a breeze. The thermal carafe keeps coffee hot for hours, and since it isn't on a heating element, it maintains it's quality.
