Most Americans are not too involved in politics. For the most part, we don't tend to follow what is being discussed in Congress or the White House too closely, other than, perhaps, during a Presidential Election year. It's hard to miss it then; because, TV coverage seems to be virtually continuous. For the most part, politics is local in America. We want to know: who will represent us in Congress, the State Legislature, and as Mayor, Sheriff, etc. And of course, the occasional ballot issues that might be important to us.
This year, however, the Presidential Election was ugly. Both sides participated in the "mud-slinging"; however, Donald Trump seemed to take particular delight in making on-going, vicious personal attacks on Secretary Hillary Clinton and her husband, Former President Bill Clinton. Candidate Trump showed no respect for President Barack Obama, questioning his American Citizenship, right up until just before the election, and he also seemed to take pleasure in castigating just about every one of President Obama's policy decisions or programs.
Candidate Trump focused his travels on middle class, White cities and towns that had high unemployment rates, and which appeared to have limited employment opportunities. He vowed that he, and only he, could fix their problems. Initially, he attacked the Mexicans, said that he would build a Wall to keep illegal immigrants from crossing our Southern Border, and also seemed to suggest that "They" were taking all the jobs away from Americans.
Eventually, Donald Trump expanded his attacks, to include virtually any demographic segment of our population that wasn't White. It was easier to sell his story to the White people by expanding his target enemy base. Many in his small-town audiences bought into his story, and became some of his most ardent supporters. All this is just standard demagogue strategy: "Divide and Conquer!"
Others, who heard Mr. Trump's story, whether in person or on TV, had misgivings about his Cause and Effect rationale. Hadn't that local plant and/or steel mill headed down south when they were still in grade school, and didn't they read about robots and new technology, ages ago? Once doubt enters into the minds of a snake-oil salesman's audience, that sale often goes unmade. That's when today's doubters do a computer check, and they don't find much about Donald J. Trump, other than: Money; Women, and Donald!
During the Republican Primaries, the Trump supporters were cheering him on, while the doubters were hoping for another GOP candidate—Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, John Kasich or Marco Rubio—to knock him off. Ironically, as Donald Trump said one more dumb thing after another, or one more offensive past deed was revealed, Donald just seemed to escape more times than Indiana Jones, on his worst day.
So, it has now been two and a half months since the Election and, although the divisiveness is not as blatant as it had been, there is still a common "We versus They" attitude among many Americans today. The opinions of the two groups still manage to reflected in the "Letters to the Editor" sections of local newspapers. Letters from Supporters of Donald Trump, read something like this: "Get over it, Trump is your President now, show him some respect, and give him a chance.," and Doubters read somewhat as follows: "He's not my President, he offended everyone in America and, now he has invented 'Alternative Facts, in order to lie!'"
Somebody asked me on Monday if I thought we'd be at war. I told her that I don't think so: I certainly hope not! But, with the more time that I have spent on this post, I just don't think that the election aftermath is going to blow over anytime soon. While the undercurrents from the Election are evident, but existing just under the radar, maybe it would be best to bring it out in the open, and clear the air in order to maintain friendships.
Consider suggesting to people you know–friends, co-workers, neighbors–that you might discuss the current attitude in America, in the wake of the November Election. You don't even need to get into the issues, or who's right or wrong, but "How do we remain our friendship?" If the grudge, on whichever side is more important, so be it! But, it can be less stressful to know that people, who were friends before the Election, can respectfully remain friends afterward–even though their views may differ.
There have always been acts of racism committed in the pat; however, recently Black Churches, Synagogues and Mosques have been firebombed, vandalized or defaced with graffiti. Lately, however, such acts have become more frequent, and more explosive. It might be worthwhile for people in the local community, who are equally appalled, to contact these groups, perhaps attend one of their functions, and let them know that you definitely welcome them to the Community!
It's just too bad that we don't currently have a True Leader in the White House, who would take this issue head-on. The Presidential "Bully Pulpit" is the strongest possible medicine for hatred and divisiveness!

It seems that America has continued to have many instances of police officers killing black men. Surely, there are occasional run-ins with other minorities, even women, but it is mostly black men who are shot and killed. And in some cases, the police officer, doing the shooting, is also black. I have known many police officers and federal agents over the years, and they are all good men? So, why are there all of these fatal black-white confrontations?
The law enforcement officers that I have known come mostly from the upper- working class, and are generally well-educated. Sociologists have suggested that some members of the middle-income group, especially from families who have worked their way up, tend to be more resentful of upward-mobile members of lower-income groups. And thus, they might carry subconscious characterizations of various minorities, even though they are not personally aware of, or perhaps ignore, that fact.
Additionally, over the past few years, the Justice Department has been investigating certain police departments—such as Ferguson, Missouri, and Baltimore, Maryland—to determine whether there might be some systemic reasons why blacks are treated more harshly than whites, and perhaps denied their Constitutional Rights. But, something apparently does happen, at least when some officers put on that badge and uniform.
The recent shooting death of a black father-of-four, in Tulsa, Oklahoma is a good case in point. Several police officers, responding to a call, came across Terrance Crutchfield, age 40, whose vehicle had stopped running in the middle of a one-lane roadway. Several of the officers had their guns drawn, when a white female police officer fatally shot Mr. Crutchfield. Police body cameras, from various angles, indicate that the motorist was standing in the middle of the road, and was clearly holding his empty hands high in the air.
Obviously, there are always details which are generally unknown, except to the police at this time. Media reports, however, cited such police radio comments as: he looks like a bad dude; he might have a gun; and he looks like he's (high?) on something. After the officer shot Mr. Crutchfield, she said that he didn't get down on the ground when she told him to. A motorist with a stalled vehicle?
Would Mr. Crutchfield, looking at several police pistols directed at him, really want to get into a gun fight—at point blank range? What does it mean that he looks like a bad dude? Police departments have roadside checks for DUI; but that shouldn't result in being shot! Also, Mr. Crutchfield does have a police record, dating back to his teenage years, and he did serve four years in prison, ending in 2001. But, that is not justification for the use of lethal force. Isn't there something in the "Spirit" of our laws about: "…having paid his debt to Society?"
Consider the comment by the police officer who killed Mr. Crutchfield, after she shot him: "He didn't get down on the ground when I told him to!" This is truly a case of Racial Profiling gone awfully, awfully bad. Personally, I surely wouldn't have gotten down on the ground either, even if ordered by a police officer, when they were responding to my stalled automobile. But, I wouldn't be dead; because, I am white!
Surely. there are other, more capable people who are trying to get their arms around this problem—both in Tulsa and numerous other cities around the nation. But, there also needs to be better screening of police officer applicants, to include: psychological screening for temperament; establish some acceptable minimum of racial and ethnic intolerance; the ability to think rationally under stress; investigate why an officer was fired from a prior police department; and adequately understand an applicant's over-enthusiasm about our Second Amendment Rights.
NOTE: Perhaps even veteran officers need to go through such screens, say every ten years or so, to prevent burn-out and the negative results of job stress.

Yes, the actual lyrics of our National Anthem really do end with a question mark. That's a key point, since so many Americans have no clue as to what those words mean, or what the song even stands for. Most people just stand, because they feel…that's what you're supposed to do! Colin Kaepernick, who plays quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers team in the National Football League, has brought a lot of attention to himself, and to our Anthem, because he doesn't stand when it is played.
Kaepernick recently said: "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color. To me, this is bigger than football, and it would be selfish on my part to look the other way. There are bodies in the street and people getting paid leave and getting away with murder."
A number of other athletes—both past and present—have defended Colin Kaepernick's right not to stand for the playing of the National Anthem before ball games. Interestingly, the many soldiers who have served in America's wars, throughout our history, have similarly defended his right to either stand or not stand. Isn't that what freedom is?
A number of politicians and other public people have declared Kaepernick's refusal to stand as disgraceful. But consider: would't Colin have saved himself a whole lot of rebuke and aggravation by just standing? Maybe so; But standing to honor something that he does not respect is truly insincere. In this case, isn't standing-up, or sitting down, in the face of adversity, a form of bravery?
Frankly, I have always wondered why the National Anthem is played before sporting events, or the Pledge of Allegiance is recited before school. Shouldn't love of country, belief in your God, or anything else that you hold to be self-evident be a personal matter? These things should be retained in your thoughts and your heart, and not forced on others. And once again, isn't that what Freedom truly means?

"Black Lives Matter" seems to be a movement, which was started by people who feel that they have been left behind. Left out of enjoying many of the benefits that America has to offer. Whether that particular phrase is racist or not depends upon how a person, or group of people, cares to perceive it.
On one of last Sunday's talk shows, former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, an early supporter of Donald Trump for President, called Black Lives Matter a racist term. Trump recently proclaimed that America is the most racist that it has ever been. Furthermore, Mr. Trump has expressed sorrow for the deaths of police officers who have been killed recently, in several instances. He has not once, however, expressed similar sadness for the numerous black lives lost at the hands of police officers, under questionable circumstances. Might some of those deaths–on both sides– have potentially been connected?
Why emphasize Black Lives? Surely All Lives Matter! Many of the descendants of the African slaves, who were brought to our shores beginning in the 1600s, bound in chains, seem to be the forgotten people. Over the past couple of hundred years, numerous waves of immigrants have arrived here, from various countries. They faced discrimination at first, segregation, and then they eventually were assimilated into American society. That same scenario hasn't played-out for many of the blacks, and some of the Latinos. They have just not enjoyed that last, necessary step—assimilation. And that means equal protection under the law!
Many blacks and Latinos have continued to live in a vicious cycle of: poverty; ghetto life; insufficiently funded schools; poor health care; discrimination in the labor force, etc. And their children seem to be destined to follow in this same path. Oftentimes, the younger generation's only "role models" are parents laboring at minimum wage jobs, local gang members, or the drug dealers and pimps in the ghettos. So, think of "Black Lives Matter" as just being another way of saying: "We are People Too!"
The Police and People of Dallas, Texas, recently demonstrated how race relations should be carried out, and maintained at their very highest level of true cooperation and understanding. Several weeks ago, there was a peaceful Black Lives Matter demonstration on the streets of Dallas. Police Officers, wearing their everyday uniforms—and without riot gear—mingled amicably with the demonstrators. Unfortunately, one lone shooter, a non-participant with a rifle, shot and killed five white Dallas P. D. Officers. Those officers' lives mattered too!
The whole City seemed to feel the grief! On the day after the officers were killed, there was a public mourning, and a demonstration protesting the massacre. Marchers seemed to represent all segments of Dallas society, and there was strong representation from the surrounding area.
Immediately, there was a call for support of Blue Lives Matter in many parts of America. When we focus too much on any one segment of our society, however, aren't we just putting the others down? Dallas seems to have taken the high ground on this.
In the end, we should all agree that: "Life Matters!"

The Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday was actually January 15 (1929); however, as is the usual practice, most holidays in the U. S.—other than the majors, such as Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Years and the Fourth of July—are "celebrated" on a Monday, thus giving many people a three-day holiday weekend. Unfortunately, many of the people that Dr. King championed—the black and the working poor—have minimum-wage jobs, and they do not get paid holidays off.
King was a civil rights leader and a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, and certainly ranks up there with Nelson Mandela, another Prize winner. Both cite Mahatma Gandhi as their inspiration; however Gandhi—nominated five times—was never awarded The Peace Prize, perhaps so as not to have angered Britain. It is unfortunate that discrimination can even exist at the highest levels; but, the facts are the facts.
Dr. King was an inspiration to anyone who ever felt discrimination: blacks; Latinos; Jews; Asians; other foreigners; women; gays and lesbians; the disabled; elderly; and anyone else who was blocked from Mainstream America: decent jobs; a right to live safely wherever they chose; to marry whom they wish; and a job that pays a living (not a minimum) wage.
Sure, we no longer have slavery in the U. S; however, it has just been replaced by Economic Discrimination. Blacks are relegated to more dilapidated schools, forced to live in drug and gang-infested ghettos, left with the mostly lower rungs of the employment landscape, and they can only pass-on more of the same to their offspring. No health insurance, insufficient food and shelter, no extra funds to set aside for college, and with no hope of escape from that morass.
Perhaps Lutheran Pastor Martin Niemöller said it best, back in 1946, when he wrote the poem: "First they came…", about the failure of Germans to understand the dangers of Naziism:
"First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

Sure, China has the second largest economy, ranked by Gross Domestic Product, the primary measure of all economic activity within a country. That measure, however, is mostly due to the country's 1.36 billion population. When qualitative measures are considered, such as Per Capita GDP and Average Annual Income, China ranks somewhat lower, than other, more advanced nations.
The International Monetary Fund had recently announced that the Chinese Renmimbi (RMB) would become a "Reserve Currency," beginning on October 1, 2016. It will then join the U. S. Dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen and British Pound as "freely exchangeable" currencies. However, China had only recently stopped "pegging" the RMB (tying it) to the Dollar, and there have been numerous past occurrences of government interference with it's trading in the open market. Can its stability be readily expected?
China has across-the-board problems—not just in its export-oriented markets and its currency—but also with its manipulation of the stock and bond markets. Additionally, examples of China's dishonesty include: its cherry-picking of supposedly nationwide high school standardized test results from just Shanghai, its best-performing school district; it has enabled on-going disregard for established international copyright law with regard to intellectual property; and under-reporting past pollution results, just to name a few.
Admittedly, China has been made a permanent member of the UN Security Council, joined the World Trade Organization and the Group of 20 major economies. And, due to its economic achievements, it will have a larger role in both the IMF and the World Bank in the near future. But, due to its top-down economic manipulation, human rights violations and its deviant past actions, I maintain that it is still a House of Cards.
Although the government hierarchy speaks of democratic principals and market-based economics, truly everything is managed by the Communist Central Committee, the Party's governing body. For instance, the One-Child Policy, which limited families (with few exceptions) to have just one child; however, that will be modified this year. But, recent surveys suggest that many Chinese women of child-bearing age have little interest in having another child. Furthermore, it would be some twenty years before today's newborns will be ready to join the workforce.
That instance of Social Engineering is truly one that has backfired on the CCP. Currently, China's workforce is aging rapidly, and the question is: where will the new workers come from? The government-manipulated economy has never diversified toward more domestic consumption and a higher-end, professional workforce. Such an economy might have enticed today's older workers to work longer; but, now that appears to be too late.
This is a dilemma that authoritarian socialist governments have been failing to recognize for the better part of the past century. But will they ever understand the risks at hand? And, in the case of the Chinese government, it seems to believe that it is superior to the invisible hand of the marketplace and, over the past 35 years, even to nature.
NOTE: There are a number of posts on this blog regarding China's many and varied problems. Just click on the China tag on the right and a list of those posts will appear.

There have been numerous comments on the Flag issue, in and by the American media; however, a good bit of it is utter nonsense. The Confederate Battle Flag represents Southern Heritage! Confederate soldiers were traitors! Neither of those accusations passes the "smell test" once reality is factored in.
During the American Civil War (1861 to 1865), even President Lincoln referred to the nation as a "house divided". No one in South Carolina or Georgia was any less an American than a resident of Massachusetts or Delaware. They were all among the original 13 colonies to sign-on.
History shows that most, if not all, of the various state militias–on both sides–fought under their own (generally) regimental banners. In fact, it has been suggested by some that the Flag currently flown over the Confederate Monument on the grounds of the South Carolina statehouse was actually that of the Tennessee Regiment. Others say that it was the West Virginia Regimental colors (flag). The linked report from the Washington Post sheds some light on the history of (what is now regarded as) the Confederate Battle Flag: http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/page/national/evolution-of-a-controversial-flag/1738/.
In reality, the Confederate Battle Flag in question had not been flown throughout the South ever since the Civil War. as some might claim. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson, a Texan, pushed through the Civil Rights Act, followed by the Voting Rights Act in 1965. At the time, he stated that that probably meant that the South would go Republican for some time to come. The movement of those historically Democrats-turned-Republicans was know as the "Dixiecrats". The South has leaned mostly Republican ever since.
The claims that that Flag honors traitors is likewise without merit. The overwhelming majority of Southerners, during that period (or before or since) did not own slaves. Many didn't even own property. Let's also not forget that a number of our Founding Fathers were, in fact, slaveowners.
The average soldier in the Army of the Confederate States of America was merely doing their job–perhaps as the best way to support their families during hard times. I doubt that their dedication and motivation was any different than that of their comrades in the Union Army. And, the same could certainly be said for today's military serving in the middle East, and elsewhere around the world.
It is important to acknowledge, by the way, that one of the most capable and respected soldiers that the American Army has ever produced was General Robert E. Lee. He did not wish to join the Confederacy; however, he said that, as a "Son of Virginia", he believed that it was his duty.
So, the Battle Flag has been hijacked by White Supremacists and represents a "call to action" for those who believe that hatred and violence–bringing others down, will demonstrate their "supremacy". Instead, it shows their own insecurity and incompetence. This brings up a serious case of "whatchamacallit" from those on the "Right".
For the past year, most Republicans have castigated President Barack Obama for not referring to the various terrorist groups in the Middle East as "Islamic" or "Islamists". Perhaps Islamophobia sells well to the "Right"-Wing Base; but, those killers are no more Muslim than Timothy McVeigh (the Oklahoma City Bomber) was a Christian.
Likewise, those on the "Right" have trouble condemning what happened at "Mother" Emanuel AME Church, in Charleston, as Racism. The vilest form of hatred! The GOP, in fact, seems to like having the argument focus on the flag–which is a mere symbol of the problem–rather than look behind the curtain at the inbred racism that still persists today in America.
You see, many of those in the Republican political base tend to hate–Muslims, Jews, Blacks, etc. That's why some states in the South have tried to ban Sharia Law from being introduced in the U.S. Frankly, that's like trying to ban a convention of mythical Easter Bunnies. So, among the "Right", Blacks are bad, and racism seems to be OK. Oh, and let's throw the Gun Lobby in as part of the same movement. Just don't label; it as such!

Carrie Underwood goes barefoot, Kristen Bell wears a mustache, and more.
ELLE Celebrates Women in Comedy
On Wednesday June 8, the CMT Awards air at 8 p.m. ET on (what else?) CMT. With major country music names like Carrie Underwood, Blake Shelton, and Keith Urban performing and collaborating alongside Pitbull, Leona Lewis, and Fifth Harmony―and hosts Erin Andrews and J.J. Watt―the event's secured big-name talent to make us want to tune in. But for further proof that the show's worth watching, we need only look back at its track record from years past of outrageous outfits, standout performances, and captured-on-camera exchanges.More
Split and repeat on the step-and-repeat? The Cowboys cheerleaders came to perform during the show, but they apparently couldn't wait to kick things off right outside the event.
In 2003, when the CMT Music Awards were still called the CMT Flameworthy Video Music Awards, Shania dressed appropriately flame-emoji-worthy. It's a leopard top, it's a see-through top, it's a see-through leopard top all at the same time.

- You tour the world: what language do you perform in?
English only. However, the performers are used to hearing people translate quietly to non-English speaking members of their party throughout the performance.
- Am I allowed to film or photograph?
You may photograph the show as long as you don't move around the floor (which, after all, is a stage!), but you may not film.
However, if you're a journalist then you should talk with our PR people. Contact: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Can I book a private show, or take over one of your public performances?
Yes. Please contact us for details: email@example.com
- i've already seen the show once. Will it be the same if I make a return visit?
One third of the performance is scripted, but the other two thirds is improvised around the audience, so it's always a fresh experience. Many of our audience members have enjoyed the show multiple times or in multiple locations (and we'd love to hear from you if you think you hold the record for most visits!).
- This is a two-hour show. Is there an interval for bathroom breaks, say, or to go to the bar?
No. It's a two-hour show but it's site-specific in a restaurant environment (whether that's in a theatre, arts centre, hotel or not), so you can get up at any time you like. However, a third of the show is scripted, so it's best to get up only at the end of individual courses.
For drinks service, it's best to order enough before the show to be delivered to your table through the show. However, there are opportunities to order drinks during the show, eg after the main course. All drinks are table service only.
- Should we wear old clothes? (or 'will the food end up on us?')
No part of the show features anyone intentionally spilling anything on anyone else. There have been spillages over the years, but more often by the venue waiting staff than the actors. All the actors respect people's personal belongings.
- Is it suitable for children and is there a children's price?
Children under the age of 3 attend free of charge. They will not be provided a meal, so you would need to bring appropriate food for them. 3-5 year olds, and school-age children are eligible for the 'student' prices. All ages have attended and enjoy the show.
- How many in the audience?
80-120, with plenty of room for actors and guests to move around (Edinburgh is an exception: space is tight).
- When do doors open?
We ask that you arrive half an hour before the show starts. This is so that you can show your e-ticket confirmations and go to the pre-show reception area, where you can also order drinks for the show. In London, go to the main reception and follow the signs.
- Any special requests?
If you or one of your party is celebrating something and you wants us to give them a special mention, surprise, or otherwise, let us know. There is a section in the e-tickets booking form for you to tell us this. If you have missed this section in the booking process, you can fill in our 'special diets and requests' form HERE, or alternatively you can send us an email, and the information will be added to your booking: firstname.lastname@example.com
- What's on the menu?
It's a set menu, always featuring a soup, a main (probably chicken), and a dessert.
It will always be good quality, but you should remember that it's a prop to the show - not the other way round!
- Are special diets catered for?
Yes. Just let us know before or on the night - there's a section after checkout of the online booking process that allows you to make a note. If you have missed this section in the booking process, you can fill in our 'special diets and requests' form HERE, or alternatively you can send us an email, and the information will be added to your booking: email@example.com
- Do the shows have disabled access?
It depends on the venue. The Torquay Suite Theatre in London West End, for instance, has excellent wheelchair access, but regional venues may not. It's best to check with the venue that's relevant to you.
The show itself is highly interactive and is performed by actors who project very well, so it's ok for people who are hard of hearing or blind. However, it is not suitable for people who can only lip-read and it is not signed, so in those instances it is best to have a member of your party sign.
- What are the Terms and Conditions of purchasing a ticket?
Please click here to read the full terms and conditions of purchasing a ticket to Faulty Towers The Dining Experience.
- Am I eligible for a concession price ticket?
You are eligible for a concession price ticket (when advertised) if you can provide a valid Over-60's or Veterans card (any performance of the week where concession is offered), or a valid Student card (any performance EXCEPT a Friday or Saturday night when concessions are offered). One concession card = one concession ticket. If a valid card is not presented at the venue on arrival for the performance, the balance will need to be paid before you can be admitted to the performance. Concession tickets can ONLY be purchased online.
- I bought my e-tickets online,but when I got my PayPal receipt, it said "postage & packaging" had been charged. Are my tickets being posted?
No, your tickets are e-tickets, and they are not posted. At check-out of the booking process you will see a service charge added. This is to cover the PayPal and SimpleTix commissions that are paid for using the service. Unfortunately, when this amount shows up on the PayPal receipt, it is called "postage & packaging". At this stage, we have been unsuccessful in having the wording on the receipt changed.
- Can I reserve now and pay later?
No. Seats are only confirmed if paid in full. No refunds.
- Can groups sit together?
Yes. There's a section within e-tickets that allows you to note who you want to sit with, or in whose name the group is booked.
However, table size is limited by venue to 10-12 per table. If you have missed the questions section in the booking process, you can fill in our 'special diets and requests' form HERE, or alternatively you can send us an email, and the information will be added to your booking: firstname.lastname@example.com
- Are the seats reserved?
They're reserved in the sense that if you've bought a ticket you'll get in, but you don't have a reserved seat number: we draw up the seating plan. We keep parties together.
- Can I buy tickets at the London venue?
Yes. Tickets are available from the Concierge desk Monday - Friday until 6pm, and Saturday and Sunday until noon. Tickets are available from the Faulty Towers reception desk on Level 1 Monday - Friday from 6pm - 11pm, and Saturday and Sunday from noon until 11pm. Tickets purchased at the venue can only be paid for in cash, not credit card.
- Is there parking at the venue?
Here are some great websites you can use to check if there is parking near the venue of your choice:
Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK (+ others): http://www.parkopedia.co.uk
Australia, Belgium, Denmark, Ireland, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden, UK (+ others): http://www.parkopedia.co.uk

Sam & Max Save The World (Episode 1)
So this game came out back on GameTap and brought TellTale Games into the limelight back in it's time. Before Walking Dead or a pile of CSI games, they re-introduced a beloved old LucasArts series in Sam and Max that foreshadowed the future pretty well. Episodic, point and click, quirky, and well made this adventure game is worth a look if you missed it originally or it's re-release on PC, Wii, and XBox. Sam and Max are based on a graphic novel of old, one of the first actually, that had some really weird characters acting as 'Freelance Police' and solving crimes, usually with spats of insane violence and lengthy digressions. The LucasArts game came out in their heyday and was one of the many classic adventure games that made them the legendary house they are remembered as today, this game came out after two sequels were tried and failed over the intervening decades with the license eventually reverting back to the creator and being handed to TellTale. Since a bunch of former LucasArts guys make up that company, they did a great job of keeping to the wacky basics while crafting the template for their eventual successes in the episodic realm. This is pretty clearly one of the games they made while also learning how to be TTG, things like episodes that have no obvious connection and quality that is not nearly as consistent, along with some dumbed down puzzles and time specific jokes and topics show they were still feeling their way into this new medium but it is incredible to see how dedicated they were from day one to bringing the adventure game genre back to life and making it fun and relevant again. Sam and Max are very odd characters leading to some really funny and irreverent comedy that at it's best will have you laughing your butt off, so check it out.

Raising Capital For New Business Start-ups – Five Essential Tips To Live By
Ed. note: This post was penned by our friends at Innovate UK, the UK's innovation agency. They work with people, companies and partner organisations to find and drive the science and technology innovations that will grow the UK economy.
There's nothing quite like a disappointing lack of capital to stop what could be a fantastic new business start-up dead in its tracks. The idea is there and so too are the drive and determination to succeed, but it can all become redundant without cash to get the business moving.
On the plus side, there have never been more avenues available when it comes to new business funding. For start-ups who have largely every piece of the puzzle already in place, gaining access to capital has never been a more realistic prospect.
Here are our five essential tips for kickstarting your search for capital:
1 – Explore All Avenues
Never fall into the trap of assuming that the most obvious and common funding channels are the only channels available to you. Research has shown that a surprising proportion of new business start-ups fail to explore all avenues when it comes to funding, which in turn can lead to disagreeable terms or – even worse – not gaining access to any capital at all. From grants to credit cards to overdrafts to business loans and all manner of potential sponsorship deals, there's no running out of avenues to explore.
2 – Know How Much You Need
It's pretty obvious to say that requesting a sum too small to be of use isn't a good idea, but at the same time, neither is asking for too much. When you make your pitch you will need to be able to justify the investment by explaining – comprehensively – what every single penny will be used for. Asking for too much could potentially put off the kinds of investors who would otherwise have shown interest. The more you ask for in the first instance, the larger the bill you'll face further down the line.
3 – Crunch Your Numbers…Big Time!
When interacting with those who will decide whether or not you will receive funding, you simply must remember that numbers talk and guesswork walks. Roughly translated, you cannot expect investors to take you seriously if you are not able to present them with short and long-term financial projections – essentially the blueprint that maps out your success. If you make the mistake of going OTT with your projections or come up with numbers that just don't make any sense, you are headed for failure.
4 – Your Business Plan Must Sing
The business plan is the document that single-handedly maps out how your initial idea will be brought to life as a successful business. Without a business plan, you are technically expecting prospective investors to take your word for it – something they are most certainly not going to do. Penning a business plan is an extremely intensive, demanding and long-winded process, but it is also perhaps the single most important process when establishing a new business.
5 – Expect Delays
Last but not least, as a rule of thumb the process of securing capital investment takes a minimum of several months to complete. You may have all the figures in order and your business plan may be exceptional, but it still takes time for the required finances to be allocated and provided. As such, you should expect moderate to significant delays as standard – don't fall into the trap of assuming the financing you need will be made available practically overnight.

This time last year Paul Crosbie was working for Wimbledon, splitting his time between community coaching and updating the struggling First Division side's website. It was a no-frills job at a club in crisis but at least it was a job in football. Until May, that is, when he was made redundant.
A week tomorrow Crosbie, 27, now the coach of the Turks and Caicos Islands in the Caribbean, will take managerial charge of his first international. He will lead his part-timers on to the pitch at the 74,000-seat Orange Bowl stadium in Miami to face Haiti in a regional qualifier for the 2006 World Cup. He still can't quite believe it.
"I'd prefer to avoid clichés but I can't, it's like a dream," he said yesterday as he plotted the build-up to next Wednesday's game, the first half of a double-header.
"The whole experience has been like that. As an international coach I was eligible to vote in Fifa's World Player of the Year award, the one Zinedine Zidane won in December. When Fifa released the details of how the various international coaches had voted it was surreal, seeing my name alongside Sven Goran Eriksson, Giovanni Trapattoni and Berti Vogts. How mad is that?"
Crosbie was born in Dumfries. He retains his Scottish accent and allegiance to the Tartan Army despite growing up in the Midlands. It was there that a promising schoolboy career hinted at a future with possibly Aston Villa or Leicester City. But he failed to realise his potential and pursued a coaching career, earning a Football Association badge and a Uefa B licence. The job at Wimbledon was supposed to be a step to greater things. It ended with a P45. But he has still managed to become the world's youngest international coach.
"After redundancy, I registered with a job recruitment website and went off to do some coaching in Ireland," he said. "Every time a potential job came up I'd get an email alert. One day there was this alert from the TCIFA. I had the qualifications and experience they were looking for. I went for an interview and started in September.
"I wasn't hired primarily as the national manager. The actual position is technical director with a remit to develop football. It just happens that national manager is part of the job. But then I'm also the manager of the women's national side, our youth teams, our international futsal team..."
The enormity of Crosbie's task is evident from a few bare statistics. The TCI, an island chain located 575 miles south-east of Miami, has a population of 25,000 and a league comprising five amateur teams. They are mostly staffed by European and Caribbean expatriates. Crosbie estimates that the native selection pool for the men's international side numbers a grand total of five. His task is to change that and he has fervent support from the TCI government and TCIFA to develop the game at all levels.
Crosbie and his staff are already seeing their efforts pay dividends, with the women's game and youth football starting to flourish. But the biggest boost, to local morale and international recognition, will come with next week's World Cup games.
Haiti, wedged at No 93 in the world rankings between Macedonia and Georgia, will provide the sternest of tests for TCI, who are ranked No 203. Only Montserrat rank lower.
Haiti also have a respectable international history, having reached the World Cup finals in 1974. TCI, who only joined the Fifa family five years ago, have only played four internationals. They lost 14-0 on aggregate to St Kitts & Nevis (ranked No 133) in the preliminaries to the last World Cup. They have also lost to the Bahamas (No 193) in a Gold Cup qualifier and drawn with the US Virgin Islands (No 199).
Haiti, with a population of seven million, also has 300 times as many players as TCI from which to select a team. To address the imbalance, TCI's eligibility rules have been expanded by Fifa. This allows Crosbie to pick not only people with birth ties to the islands but anyone who fulfills the residency requirement of having lived on the islands for two years or more at any stage in their lives.
It is under that rule that two British-based players, Charlie Cook and Lawrence Harvey, will travel to join the TCI World Cup squad next weekend. Cook works on Cardiff City's community programme and manages the club's ladies team. He fulfils the TCI criteria because he used to work for the TCIFA. Harvey plays for Alcia Athletic in the Cambridge Senior League. He fulfills the criteria having once worked in TCI as a quantity surveyor.
Crosbie is always on the lookout for eligible players for any of TCI's teams. A prominent advert on the homepage of the TCI website declares "Your Country Needs You!". Anyone who thinks they might be eligible is encouraged to make contact for a trial. "We've had some positive responses and some jokers," Crosbie said. "But the serious point is to field the most competitive team now and then build our own talent pool for the future. That's the priority."
For next week, Crosbie's squad will comprise Cook and Lawrence, four native Turks and Caicos Islanders, 10 or 12 TCI residents from the expat community and, hopefully, two professionals who live in America. Gavin Glinton, who was born in TCI and raised in California, is a striker with Dallas Burn. His brother Duane, is attached to the San Jose Earthquakes. Crosbie flew to Texas last week to seek Gavin's release and is hopeful the brothers will be available for the Haiti games.
"On my way back from Texas, I changed planes in Miami and flew over the Orange Bowl," he said. "Even from 8,000 feet it looked huge. But I can't wait. We've got nothing to lose whatsoever. Haiti probably think we're a rag tag bunch but this is our FA Cup final and we want a result. Stranger things have happened."
As he well knows.

I'm excited to help promote Author Autumn Jordan's newest release Evil's Witness. You can find it at Barnes and Noble. Congrats, Autumn. Here's to a fabulous member of the Golden Network and many more successes. ~ Donnell
Write what you know. As writers, we've all heard the statement more than once, and it's stopped many from writing the stories of their heart. Why? Because the writer takes it literally. They think I've never visited the Emerald Isle or step through a time portal or had contact with a serial killer, so how can I write a story dealing with the subject?
Thousands of writers have visited
In my story Evil's Witness which just released on June 18 from The Wild Rose Press, a tractor-trailer containing
Because of my family's trucking company, I knew about tractor-trailer heists. They occur more often than you might think. We've hauled for the U.S. Treasury so the research for the bases of the story was easily available to me but not impossible for someone else to investigate. I had to make contact with local and state police concerning local law enforcement procedures, their weapons and use, and I interviewed an FBI agent on the witness protection program. I also read any articles or books I could find on the Russian Mafia. What I didn't have to research and what makes any book a keeper on my shelf is emotion.
Years ago, while working at a restaurant, I was held at gunpoint during a robbery. It's not a time I like to recall. I had nightmares for months. I managed to overcome the fear, tuck the experience away in the recesses of my mind and move on. While writing Evil's Witness I recalled the horrific moments and use them positively to write emotional charged scenes.
As a mother of four, I've experienced more than a few times when my heart wedged in my throat with fear for my children. I'm sure you've had a moment when your child disappeared from your view for a few moments or they had an accident which required medical help. Can you recall the visceral responses your body had as seconds ticked off until you found them hiding between the clothing racks or at a friend's house or help arrived? Did your heart pound? Did your mind scatter recalling the last moments before they disappeared—their birthday parties, holidays or smiles? Did your eyes skip from area to area, searching for a glimpse of your baby? Could the emergency vehicles not get there fast enough? How about sweaty palms or dry mouth?
Excerpt from Evil's Witness:
A blast hit the air and a micro second later the windshield of the car beside them splintered. Pulling Bobby and Em with her, Stephanie dropped to the tarmac, the skin tearing from her knee.
"Stephanie, get down," John yelled too late.
She was already flat faced on the blacktop. Her heart thundered, barely covering the voice inside her which screamed, "Not again." She strained, stretching her arm, her fingers, grasping to protect her children.
Walking through a parking lot, I've felt threatened by someone following me. My blood rushed as I fumbled for my keys and raced to my car. I also recall the relief that washed through me after I pulled away unscathed.
Excerpt from Evil's Witness:
Suddenly, a hand slapped across her mouth and a strong arm circled her waist, lifting her off her feet. Her nostrils flared against the ridge of skin as she fought to suck in air and the scent of the man dragging her away.
A car whizzed by but didn't stop. The street ahead was deserted except for two elderly women waiting for a bus and a couple standing on the corner. They had their backs to her. They didn't see her.
She searched wildly for anyone who would come to her rescue. There was no one.
I've had a broken heart. I've felt the sorrow of death. I've rejoiced at births and I am in love.
Excerpt from Evil's Witness:
She stood before a mirror. A single lamp, turned low, lit the room. Through the silken material of her nightgown, her fingertips traced the outline of the scar near her waist. A mirror image of it marked her back. She didn't want to remember how her life had come to this point. The memories caused fear to wrap around her heart, tainting the joy she'd come to know.
In the glass, she noticed movement behind her. A second later, he was there, staring at her. The man she'd die for.
I've experienced all of these feelings and more. I've used them to create an emotionally satisfying story in Evil's Witness. A novel which I hope will remain on my reader's keeper shelves and have them search for my other works.
Emotion is the connection between a writer and reader. Remember that bit of advice. And the next time you hear, write what you know, think that's easy. All I need to do is open the door to my past and draw from my emotional well.

Cocoa trees produce pods, which is the fruit chocolate comes from. Large harvests occur by hand twice annually throughout the year. Chocolate liquor is the thick paste generated when chocolate nibs, the roasted and de-shelled chocolate beans, are heated to a high temperature; it's then separated into cocoa butter and cocoa powder.
