Pickin' Productions presents Paper Bird! Opening ~ Craig Childs & Bill Powers ~ A BENEFIT FOR KVNF PUBLIC RADIO on November 22 at 7:30PM.
Tickets $20 Advance, $25 Door ~ On Sale Now *
Available locally at Homestead Market & Backcountry Bistro or online
* Note: A Limited number of $35 Premium Reserved seats available, visit the Pickin' Productions site for more information
Pickin' Productions is partnering with KVNF Community Radio and The Paradise Theatre to bring top notch, national artists to the North Fork Valley. Let it be known – this band, Paper Bird, we are extra-excited about. The sound is new, fresh, fun and the music is tight, intricate and delicate all at once. We predict this will be a show you won't forget.
Since the band's formation in 2007, Paper Bird has been playing its joyful blend of indie folk, roots, and Americana to delighted audiences nationwide. Paper Bird has released two studio albums, Anything Nameless and Joymaking (2007) and When the River took Flight (2010); as well as Carry On (2011), which was the score to a collaboration with Ballet Nouveau Colorado of the same name. Their unique sound is a combination of a dynamic and energetic rhythm section intertwined with effortless and flowing harmonies and the group's backbone is their songwriting, musicianship and a general allergy to all limitations and trends. With seven members and no designated leader, the possibilities for Paper Bird are constantly unfolding, with fluctuations in style and mood akin to weather patterns. Their rare and beautiful approach to music led them to be featured on NPR's All Things Considered and were voted in the Top 10 Best Underground Bands by the Denver Post three years in a row, as well as being 5280's Top of the Town "Top Local Band." Most recently, Paper Bird was featured in February 2013 in the New York Times in a story about up and coming Denver bands.
Paper Bird's fourth album, Rooms, pushes musical boundaries even further than anything the group has done. Paper Bird wanted to make an album that was coherent and truly represented where they are as a band and as people –so they made a hard left turn by enlisting good friend and accomplished film composer Ryan Fritch, to produce Rooms. "Ryan sees music differently than all of us had before this recording process," said drummer Mark Anderson. "His input on our music opened our eyes to new ways of writing and experiencing sound, helping to create an atmosphere within the album that did not exist before."

A perusal of the Internet during the past few days reveals numerous sick individuals who consider the killer of ten students in Finland to be a hero in their eyes. "I love this day! I love it!" declared one Internet writer. This individual also praises Pekka-Eric Auvinen who killed children last year and agrees that humans are overrated and proclaiming his support for natural selection. There are currently numerous groups which share admiration for the killers and, in some twisted manner somehow glory in a killer who kills unarmed people, many of whom are their own age. On video of Pekka-Eric Auvinen, says, "they all had much courage– if we want our community to change, we need to hear their ideas."
Some websites have decided to economically benefit from mass murder, and one now sells T shirts featuring a picture of Mattti Saari. There are currently online communities which are linked and they share common admiration for the Columbine killers as well as the Finnish killers.
There is nothing surprising or unique in these mentally ill individuals. They have existed in every generation and, most probably, will emerge in the coming years to champion another killer.

I need information about...
As you're nearing the end of your pregnancy and eagerly awaiting the arrival of your new baby, you may consider scheduling your child's birth earlier than full term. However, experts are learning preterm c-sections pose problems for both mom and baby.
It's often difficult to know just when you became pregnant. If you schedule to induce labor or have a c-section and your date is off by a week or more, your baby may be born before he or she is fully developed.
If your pregnancy is healthy and you're thinking about scheduling your baby's birth, it's best to stay pregnant for at least 39 weeks. You may be wondering why the 39 week mark is so important. Babies born even a few weeks early are at greater risk than full-term babies for serious problems, including respiratory distress, delayed brain development, feeding problems and sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS).
At 39 weeks, important organs like the brain, lungs and liver get all the time they need to develop, and your baby is less likely to have vision or hearing problems after birth. Additionally, your baby has time to gain more weight in the womb, which helps keep it warm after birth. The extra time also helps your baby stay alert and able to nurse after birth, which some preterm babies have trouble doing.
A recent study conducted by March of Dimes found that c-sections accounted for nearly 92 percent of the increase in preterm births in the U.S. between 1996-2004. The largest percentage increase in c-section rates were late preterm births, or those that occurred between 34-36 weeks.
We know you're eagerly awaiting your bundle of joy. But make sure you talk to your health care provider before scheduling your baby's birth to ensure both you and your baby are happy and healthy. For more information on the March of Dimes 39 Weeks initiative, please visit their website.

This phrase is construed narrowly, and it does not stop courts from hearing cases about controversial issues like abortion, or politically important topics like campaign finance. Rather, the Supreme Court has held that federal courts should not hear cases which deal directly with issues that Constitution makes the sole responsibility of the other branches of government. Baker v Carr, 369 U.S. 186 (1962).

Lilacs in Love, shown here over Misa Sweet Thing (a pale lilac), has a smoky violet tinted base and a multitude of glitter shapes and colors. It's almost impossible to determine all of the shapes and colors of glitter in this, but there are larger square and hex bright violet foil shapes, combined with multi colored iridescent micro glitter. I love how the micro glitter seems to glow or light up on the nail when the light catches it.
Heart Strings has a reddish/pink tinted base and is filled with red and silvery pink foil bar glitter. There's also a sparse amount of matching micro glitter mixed in. The photos below show two coats over Misa Bed of Roses, a bubblegum pink creme. I'm going to give this one a go over a black creme the next time I use it, because I think it would contrast nicely with a dark background.
Doesn't this macro shot look like something on a slide under a microscope?!!

Crystal Stilts
Delirium Tremendous
Digital Only Single.
"The song is, in my mind, a real quintessential Stilts track. It also acts as a fulcrum from our last record, which is relatively delicate, to our next record that will be more rocking. It's representative of our style without sounding like a copy of previous songs. It really takes a deeper look into 1970's New York punk traditions, complete with actual garbage can percussion. The bridge is a near death taking you half way into heaven or hell, but then life takes you back to the city." —JB Townsend

Ignasi Miquel wants to kick on and push for more Champions League appearances, following his European debut against Olympiacos on Tuesday.
The Spanish defender replaced the injured Andre Santos in the second half and had an immediate impact with a hand in Yossi Benayoun's excellent goal.
Miquel says he can only benefit from the experience in Greece and hopes this was not a mere cameo.
"It was amazing, it was a great atmosphere," he told Arsenal Player. "I never expected it to be like this and making my debut in the Champions League is great for me.
"Unfortunately we lost but it was my next step for me. I just need to get here more often now.
"You could see that they went out like they had to win. They won but unfortunately they didn't go through. They had a great game, pressed up a lot and eventually got the goals.
"I think we had quite a lot of chances in the second had to draw the game but that's football.
"They backed up once in the game and that was when we scored, but they couldn't do it again in case they lost. They pressed up so we couldn't play our football that much and got the result."

Tchaikovsky and More Featured in Orchestre Symphonique de Montréal's Upcoming Season
Montreal, February 4, 2012 - Russia will enjoy pride of place in February at the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, with six of the eight concerts during the month constructed around at least one work composed by a Russian composer. Programming will include scores by Tchaikovsky (among them his highly evocative Manfred Symphony), Rachmaninov (the formidable Third Piano Concerto in a performance by Denis Matsuev), Borodin (his magnificent Second String Quartet) and Glazunov (his ballet The Seasons). Also, two Russian conductors and pianists are included in the OSM's guests. Conductor Gennady Rozhdestvensky and his wife, Viktoria Postnikova, will be at the center of an all-Tchaikovsky program, while Mikhail Pletnev and Denis Matsuev will be the principals in a Glazunov and Rachmaninov concert.
OSM conductor in residence Nathan Brock will be conducting three concerts this month. Two programs will feature Dvo?ák's "New World" Symphony. The first will place the work in context by way of a narration and projections. In the second, the symphony will serve to anchor a program that includes two OSM premieres, a work by Canadian composer John Weinzweig, the centenary of whose birth is being celebrated, and Victor Herbert's Cello Concerto No. 2, performed by OSM principal cello Brian Manker. He will also be found with the Enchantment Theatre Company in a program for the entire family presenting a musical Journey to the land of fairy tales.
For a second season, the OSM is inviting audiences to experience Beyond the Score concerts, a series intended as much for fans of classical music as for those seeking to be introduced to it. Designed and developed by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, these concerts offer an original and dynamic formula that lets concertgoers delve into the world of an important orchestral work. In the first part of the concert, a dramatic narration and visual projections position the symphony in its historical context, while in the second part the OSM, under the direction of its conductor in residence, Nathan Brock, presents a complete reading of the work.
Drawn to New York by Jeannette Thurber's invitation to conduct The National Conservatory of Music in New York for a salary twenty times higher than what he was getting at the Prague Conservatory, Dvo?ák forged a friendship with Henry Thacker Burleigh, an arranger and singer of Negro spirituals. Wrote Dvo?ák: "These are America's popular songs, and your composers should draw inspiration from them. In these Negro melodies, I find all that is necessary for a great and noble school of music." A number of analysts have found in the symphony's first movement an allusion to the song "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," but as Burleigh pointed out: "Dvo?ák saturated himself in the spirit of these old tunes - and then invented his own melodies."
Dvo?ák himself applied the name "New World Symphony" to his Ninth Symphony to underscore the fact that the impressions evoked were inspired directly by his stay on American soil. It enjoyed a triumphant premiere on December 16, 1893, in Carnegie Hall.
The program for this concert is centered around Dvo?ák's "New World" Symphony, to which OSM conductor in residence Nathan Brock has juxtaposed two works being presented as premieres at the OSM.
Edge of the World by Canadian composer John Weinzweig, whose 100th birthday is being celebrated in 2013, was premiered by the Toronto CBC Radio Orchestra in February 1946, and is the first orchestral work to have incorporated material deriving from Inuit folk music. Moving from an almost static calm to a primal fury before subsiding in a plaintive melody on the English horn, the work is intended as a tribute to the adventurers of the Far North.
Victor Herbert is cited in numerous program notes devoted to the Dvo?ák Cello Concerto, the premiere of his Second Concerto having made a strong impression on Dvo?ák. A certain kinship can be established between the two works, largely lyrical, with broad themes, and with the orchestra playing an essential role in the dialogue between soloist and the mass of sound. Here it will feature Brian Manker, principal cello with the OSM.
The suite that Maurice Ravel derived from Contes de ma mère l'Oye here becomes an invitation to plunge into the enchanted world of fairy tales. As Mother Goose prepares to narrate the well-known tales "Tom Thumb" and "Beauty and the Beast," she herself becomes the heroine in the wonderful stories she has made her own. This show, bringing together music, dance and mime, invites The Young and the not so young to forget the daily grind and give themselves over to dreaming.

Inhalants: Yes! They can cause addiction
Posted by DrugFreeHomes in Drug Abuse Treatment, Drug Addiction, Drug Facts, Drug Rehabilitation, Prescription Drug Abuse on August 20, 2009
I still remember the day when I was talking to Martin, a 15 year old school dropout who had been referred for treatment of drug addiction. "So which drug do you use?" was my obvious question. "I am addicted to solvents like glue and I desperately want to quit this habit" was his reply. I was taken aback. Addicted to GLUE! I never had the concept that a familiar household item like glue was a DRUG! But yes, it is true. Addiction to inhalants (popular street names being glue, whipped cream, poppers and rush) is one of the cheapest and easiest ways to get the high.
Inhalants are not considered as drugs since they are useful everyday products and a majority of them are legal. Generally three categories of the drug are abused:
- Solvents: glue, felt tips, correction fluid, nail polish removers, paint thinners, household cleaners and waxes.
- Gases: butane, propane and aerosols.
- Nitrates: amyl and butyl.
The substances are generally sniffed from the containers, inhaled from bags or balloons (bagging), inhaled through a soaked cloth or material directly placed over the mouth (huffing), and mixed with alcohol for drinking or injected.
Abuse of inhalants is mostly common among adolescents and young adults. In both UK and USA the use is high in the 12-16 age group. The European School Project on Alcohol and Drugs (ESPAD) revealed that 20% of the youngsters in the UK in that age group had used inhalants.
Inhalants cause excitement, euphoria and dizziness. Long-term use leads to a devastating neurological damage by decaying the fatty tissues of the brain and the rest of the Central Nervous System. Mood swings, hallucinations, slurred speech, movement disorder, personality change, poor judgment and bizarre behavior are the other effects. Sudden sniffing death is also a hazard.
If you find anyone having this problem please take the necessary action, help him to lead a sober life. Coming out of these addictions are much easier than other stronger drugs or prescription drugs.

Ronald Chen became Acting Dean of the Law School - and an Executive Producer of "Due Process" - on April 11, 2013, when Dean Farmer began a leave of absence to serve as Senior Vice President and University Counsel.
Dean Chen returned to the law school in January 2010 after serving for four years as the first Public Advocate of New Jersey in 13 years when the Department of the Public Advocate was restored in 2006. As a member of Governor Corzines Cabinet, he was charged with providing advocacy for a number of specific constituencies, including elder citizens, persons with disabilities, mental health services consumers, and ratepayers, and was generally given standing to represent the public interest in legal proceedings. His areas of focus included eminent domain reform, voters rights, affordable housing, childhood lead poisoning prevention, deinstitutionalization of persons with developmental disabilities and mental health services consumers, and affordable energy for ratepayers. As Public Advocate, he was named chair of the Governors Blue Ribbon Advisory Panel on Immigrant Policy, which was charged with making recommendations on how state government can best assist immigrants to integrate into the New Jersey community.
Prior to becoming the Public Advocate, Dean Chen was the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs at the law school, with responsibility for overall academic and curricular operations and policy. He has also served as Acting Director of the Minority Student Program. Through all these jobs, he maintained a busy schedule as a law professor, teaching Contracts, Federal Courts, Mass Media Law and Church-State Relations. In addition, Dean Chen has appeared numerous times in state and federal court litigating civil rights, civil liberties and constitutional law cases. He currently continues this work through the Constitutional Rights Clinic.
Dean Chen is an active lay leader of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). He first served as a trustee on the New Jersey affiliate board from 1989 to 2002, and then was elected to ACLUs national board. In 2002, he was elected by the national board to serve on the National Executive Committee. After completing his term as Public Advocate, he has been re-elected to the ACLU National Board and New Jersey affiliate board, and currently serves on the ACLU-NJ Legal Committee and the ACLU National Board Executive Committee.
Dean Chen earned a bachelors degree from Dartmouth College in 1980 and graduated from Rutgers School of LawNewark with high honors in 1983, where he was editor-in-chief of the Rutgers Law Review and the Saul Tischler Scholar. He served as law clerk to the Honorable Leonard I. Garth of the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, and then practiced with a large New York City firm until 1987 when he returned to the law school as a member of the faculty.
He currently serves as Vice-Chair of the New Jersey Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Professional Ethics, as a member of the New Jersey Law Journal editorial board, and as the Deans representative on the NJ Commission on Professionalism. He chaired the New Jersey State Bar Association Committee on Legal Education from 2003-2006, and chaired the Third Circuit Lawyers Advisory Committee from 2002-2003.
He was named the New Jersey Law Journals Lawyer of the Year for 2007, in large part because of his work in using state constitutional principles to prevent eminent domain abuse. Among the other awards he has received are the Fannie Bear Besser Award for public service given by the Rutgers School of LawNewark Alumni Association, the 2007 Mel Narol Excellence in Diversity Award given by the New Jersey State Bar Association, the 2002 Roger Baldwin Award bestowed by ACLU-NJ for contributions to civil liberties, and the 2001 Outstanding Achievement Award bestowed by the Association of Asian and Pacific American Lawyers Association of New Jersey.

In any case, per Ed's question:
I describe the Community Manager (CM) role as a team leadership, and support role, which doesn't require technical programming/development or systems administration knowledge, but does need some experience in using the tools for the community. I'd divide their job up into the following areas:
- Guiding their organization - on what they want to achieve from the community, what type of tools they should use, supporting internal teams and individuals to help them make best use of the community
- Guiding the community - guiding new users, inviting people to join, lending an ear to the community, working with key users to guide the community, rewarding top contributors
- Activities, spotlight and feedback - organizing activities, keeping the community on track with its mission/goals, spotlighting lead contributors, collecting feedback on how to improve the community tooling or how to improve the organization's products/services
- Measuring participation and recording knowledge - measuring traffic, measuring achievements, saving FAQs, writing best practices
- Dealing with trouble - making sure members do not break policies, playing peacemaker or arbiter in member conflicts, making sure people aren't gaming the system (in some cases), recording issues for historical purposes
- Operations - they would need to create or maintain any policies for the community, any documentation, assist with member account issues, work with other internal teams to resolve any issues, creating status reports
While the term "manager" is part of the name, this is not a classic functional manager or even a matrix manager role. This is primarily because the expectation is that the people in the community may not be part of your team (in the organization), or even part of your organization at all. If they are to support an external community, they need to treat each member with the proper respect due to a customer, even if they are part of your organization. This complicates things in some peoples minds: are they a tech support person, a marketing person, a PR person, a sales person? Probably none of them solely, and perhaps all of them to some bit.
In a perfect world, you'd have one community manager per community, but it is more likely they'd have multiple if not dozens of communities to work with in an organization. Even the definition of a "community" is vague here. In terms of size some communities could be a dozen people while others could be thousands-strong. The work is not quite proportionate, and what's worse, the amount and which elements of the above work you need to do, may vary with the mission, activities, and even tooling of the online community. For example, I tend to look at a blogger as being the center of their own community, and having a hundred bloggers, means that you have a hundred communities; however, the issues you may need to help your bloggers with can be different per blogger, or different when compared against a discussion forum-based community.
However, what is key to note is that when they are not present, things start to fall apart. A typical scenario I've seen is that a company decides they need forums and blogs started and really don't set guidelines or have a CM. If say a member starts harrassing another member, they turn to the sysadmin to fix it, as if it is solely a technical problem. There are right ways of handling situations and wrong ways, and unless the sysadmin takes the time to do the things that a CM does, then you might end up in a bigger pickle. In many similar situations, the sysadmins have to figure things up from scratch, eventually playing the role of a CM.
The key skills needed for the job are:
- leadership - you don't have to be the sole leader, but by default, you are part of the leadership of the community
- flexibility - things can move suddenly and change rapidly in communities, so you need to be flexible and adapt well
- empathy - you're dealing with people here, so you should pay attention to their needs and issues
- fairness - most communities have some level of conflict arise, and you need to be fair across all members
- organizational skills - it will probably start with you to organize or record information, activities, events, etc.

Statistics is an inherent part of UNCTAD. Being the United Nations' focal point for the integrated treatment of trade and development and the interrelated issues in the areas of finance, technology, investment and sustainable development, UNCTAD compiles, validates and processes a wide range of data collected from national and international sources.
DGFF 2016 - Goal 9.1: Resilient infrastructure
Transport infrastructure is integral to any national, regional and transborder infrastructural assets. Sustainable and resilient transport infrastructure entails, among other features, the ability to provide transportation that is safe, socially inclusive, accessible, reliable, affordable, fuel-efficient, environmentally friendly, low-carbon, and resilient to shocks and disruptions, including those caused by climate change and natural disasters.
UNCTAD assists national statistical agencies in developing and transition countries in their data collection and dissemination efforts. In cooperation with UN agencies, development banks and other international organisations, such as Eurostat. UNCTAD coordinates technical cooperation activities with donors and other organisations to avoid duplication of work and to encourage complementarity and synergy. For this purpose UNCTAD contributes to the Partner Report on Support to Statistics (PRESS) maintained by Paris21, which provides a snapshot of support to statistical capacity development worldwide and, thus, is a valuable tool for collaboration building among statistical international organisations.
There are several common ongoing projects in the area of data quality improvement, statistics dissemination and communication, education:
Explore UNCTAD statistics in our data centre, compare key indicators from countries all over the world in our Country Profiles and discover a selection of key facts in our infrographic library.
Commodity Price Indices, February 2017: Over the last 12 months the UNCTAD commodity price index has gone up by one fifth. Prices for minerals, ores and metals have even increased by one third (year-on-year growth: 34.2%; month-on-month growth: 3.7%).
Trade in services in 2016 Q4:In the 4th quarter of 2016, year-on-year growth of trade in services was modest (+0.2 %). This reflects a sudden downturn of trade in other services and goods-related services, while trade in travel continued rising and the decrease of trade in transport slowed down.
International merchandise trade in 2016: world merchandise trade decreased further. Annual growth of world exports: -3.2%.

It's A Keeper!
By CEEB
from Toronto
I've been using Elysée, religiously, for almost a year. Thank Goodness for Linda - after trying every skin care line out there, this one has earned my trust and appreciation. I've always had problematic skin and, now, for the first time I have a skin care line in which you can not only see the difference it makes but, also, one that doesn't make my skin break out. If you're looking for something that is effective as well as cost effective, you will find it in Elysée!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Excellent describes it all
By Luv-to-shop
from Moncton (NB)
I have used various combos from Elysee over the past 12 years and all do exactly as Linda Marshall states. No fluff in this line, it's all packed with ingredients that work. I've used the Youthspan facial resurrection serum, night cream and eye cream since they were first introduced (5 years or more?). These hydrate, plump up, smooth, even skin tone, soften wrinkles, reduce poor size and on and on. In conjunction with these nighttime products I use the Youthspan eye serum, and the chin and jawline cream. Another must is the Skin Resurfacing Complex, a twice-a-week nighttime one that you apply on clean skin, just that one cream, and it exfoliates effectively and gently while you sleep. Can't speak for the Telegenesis day cream other than to say it has a lovely texture, and absorbs immediately, as do all Linda's products.Give the Youthspan Facial Resurrection line time, and you'll get results, certainly not facelift-type results, but no skincare line can, but the Elysee line is the next best thing to give you great skin. I'm 65 by the way and am constantly told I look much much younger. Thank you dear Linda Marshall and keep bringing us this wonderful line.

Love this kit!
By Marianne
from Sydney, Nova Scotia
I've tried just about every line at TSC so after listening to this smart lady , I decided to give this kit a try. I can honestly say I haven't been disappoined. The creams and serums are quickly absorbed leaving your skin moisturized and so soft to the touch. A little goes a long way and have using faithfully twice daily, I am so pleased to notice a visible decrese in my laugh lines around my mouth and my overall facial skin looks so much more hydrated and younger. Will definitely reorder.

Works Wonders
By Turtle
from Hamilton
Have purchased several Elysee kits and have never been disappointed. I am 65 years old and with this new configuration of Youthspan products, my skin has improved even more in every way. Everything is luxurious in this kit so use sparingly. I have combination skin and I know from experience that you do not need a lot.No sticky feeling after, all is absorbed quickly as I use a good cleanser.Finally, NO FRAGRANCE! Thank you Elysee

Waste of Time and Money
By Arielle
from Montreal
I am so sorry I tried this line. I waited 2 months for results, it made my skin feel soft to touch- but did nothing to firm up skin, or reduce wrinkles. I did not return it, because I thought perhaps I needed to give it a chance. Ladies, if you don't see some results within 3 weeks, send it back. I have tendency to dry skin in winter, combo in summer. My skin is like a plant that has just been revived after returning to my habitual skin products.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Update: The following problem is solved by renaming charm.hs to hscharm.hs, so that the corresponding charm.o doesn't override the charm.o produced during compilation of charm.c.
ncurses is proving too difficult to setup, so I'm working on a new library called charm. The C code works by itself, but I can't compile a Haskell wrapper for it. While the tutorials at HaskellWiki are helpful, they're outdated. Argh! The docs say that -#include pragmas no longer work, but fail to explain how to load code without them. Suffice to say I have no recourse but trial and error.

text: I don't know CA laws, and undoubtedly you will get good responses from some of the members, but I want to add that I would STRONGLY suggest contacting the AG office and getting the answers directly from them. Internet boards are nice, but the information can be wrong. Hate to see you get in hot water because you got information that was a bit off. I'm sure the defense of, "But BangBang2008 on HandGunForum said it was legal" won't be much of a defense if you unknowingly break the law.

GOP strategist Galen repeated Casey myth, claimed that his "pro-life" son "won't be allowed to speak" at Dem convention
Research ››› ››› NICOLE CASTA
Republican strategist Rich Galen referenced the oft-repeated myth that then-Pennsylvania Gov. Bob Casey was not allowed to speak at the 1992 Democratic National Convention because of his opposition to abortion rights. During the "Strategy Session" segment of CNN's Inside Politics, Galen stated that it doesn't look like Sen. Rick Santorum (R-PA) will have to move from the right to the center prior to the 2006 election because Democrats have gone "out of their way to elect" a "pro-life" candidate who wouldn't "be allowed to speak at their convention."
Galen's speculation that Bob Casey Jr., Gov. Casey's son and a candidate seeking Santorum's Senate seat in 2006, would not be allowed to speak at a Democratic convention because of his opposition to abortion rights is based on a falsehood. Casey's father was denied a speaking slot at the 1992 convention because he refused to endorse the Clinton-Gore presidential ticket, not because of his stance on abortion. In fact, Democrats who opposed abortion rights spoke at the 1992 convention and at every subsequent convention, as Media Matters for America has pointed out (here, here, here, here, and here).
From the August 1 edition of CNN's Inside Politics:
JOE JOHNS (host): It also seems like he [Santorum] continues to really sort of massage the right, to massage conservative voters there in the state of Pennsylvania, but the question is, doesn't he need to move more to the middle as we get closer to this election?
GALEN: Well, it doesn't look that way. I mean, as Donna [Brazile, Democratic strategist and program guest] said, you look at Casey [Jr.], the guy that's going to run against him, he's pro-life. You're going to have -- if he should win, which I don't think he will -- the Democrats would go out of their way to elect a senator that won't be allowed to speak at their convention, but that's another story.

5 stars for this episode! The story of a broken mind and a troubled soul. Well performed by all cast members. Great adaptation by Arnold Moss. One of the best productions by CBS RMT.
Set during the Civil War, this program focuses on a couple of young men that entire the Union Army. One is killed in battle while the other is wounded while running from the fight. He enters the hospital but leaves on his on volition and is very confused.
Jack A.
Two buddies from Ohio enlist in the Union Army during the Civil War. they agree to stay together and look after each other in battle. But when thefighting gets hot and heavy, one cuts and runs while the other lie mortally wounded. The consequence of that cowardice is dire.
This is one of my all-time favorites and one that stuck with me through the years after hearing it when I was a kid.
Mr. Campbell
It reminds me of the Ken Burns documentary on the Civil War; in the final episode, it shows newsreel footage of veterans of the battle of Gettysburg meeting in 1933 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the event. I am 38 so to me the Civil War seems like ancient history; so it is kind of odd to think that my grandparents were alive at the same time as some civil war veterans.
To our adult minds, the end might be a little predictable. But when I was 12 years old, I was completely blind-sided by the ending. I remember thinking about the story the entire next day and how powerful it was. I'm sure this was not the first episode I ever heard, but it was the most powerful I'd heard up until that time and it was THE episode that made me want to hear more. I hope you all like it.
Interesting thing...Bierce was missing and presumed dead after going to Mexico to fight alongside Pancho Villa (in another Bierce/RMT episode "The D-mned thing", E.G. says he disappeared mysteriously), so Mr. Bierce apparently believed there were some causes worth fighting and going to war for. There are at least two other RMT episodes based on his Civil War works, "Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge", and "One of the missing". I'm guessing that Bierce knew there were indeed some very good reasons for fighting the horrific "Civil War" (here in northwest Arkansas there were some particularly tragic battles, and (which not everyone's aware of) accompanying guerrilla campaigns that left their mark on the people of the Ozarks plateau). On listening to this again, it does convey the sadness of war's aftermath, but I'm not sure it's an antiwar story. Without being able to convey my thoughts in more accurate terms, the moral of this story to me was: "Young man...war, like life, will usually never unfold as you fantasize it will. Know what you're getting into, and be prepared."
I'm not sure it's an antiwar story. I didn't see it as anti-war, or even a cautionary tale. I saw it as a story about the sad consequences of war --- any war and every war.

The device the author used in turning it into some strange, over the top mystery is inferior to having our protagonist spend a conscious lifetime dealing with the same horrors we both recognize to be so destrucitve. I think the far out aspect dilutes the real horrors you described so well... I think you may be missing the point: The mysterious aspect that you see as sensationalism, I see, simply, as our protagonist's point of view---his mind is confused and forever lost. His life is unconscious. That's the whole point. It's not a concsious lifetime dealing with horrors. It's a life of confusion, of knowing you desperately need to be somewhere and never being able to get there. The author has used the best method possible for allowing us to understand this by making us see the world from the injured soldier's point of view---which, to us, is mysterious and confusing---no less so than it is to the soldier himself. Therein lies the horror, the drama, and the poignancy of the story. Yes, the narrative is designed to be eerie and mysterious, but I don't think it's all that over-the-top or far out. It is, in fact, a very creative and compelling way to tell a story. If it had been simply told straightforward as "the facts of war's horrors and how they destroyed a young man's life", I think the story would have been nothing more than a maudlin melodrama, a cliche. A USA Network TV movie. Guess we're just gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.
In the post Viet Nam-era I've gotten so used to stories that seem to be anti-military, etc. I get defensive, and did so when there was no need to here. I can understand how you feel. I feel the same way. I'm not anti-war and it is a touchy subject I'd just as soon avoid. There is so much romanticized about the Civil War, but as with any war, many people left that conflict with broken bodies and minds.

I found this tale to be a powerful and poignant sub-drama of the Civil War. The play explored the trauma suffered by a young soldier unable to cope with the stress of war. This may sound like a stretch but it reminded me of a section in a book by Dr. Oliver Sacks entitled, "The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat". In this book, Dr. Sacks relays the story of one of his patients who has lost his short term memory (alcohol related). He lived completely in the past and though he was introduced to new topics or new people, he was completely unable to remember them for more than a few minutes. As I said, this may be a bit of a stretch and I can't remember the fine details of the case study any more (ironic, huh?), but I recall how Dr. Sacks explained the look in the poor man's eyes as he peered into the mirror only to see the frightening sight of an old man staring back at him. I pictured the soldier in our radio drama experiencing a similarly frightening revelation as he was introduced to the reality the rest of the world sees.

I agree with your comments on romanticizing the Civil War (or any war, for that matter). The columnist George F. Will was the first person a couple of years back that I heard quote from "Cold Mountain" (?) the line (paraphrased) "In war, I learned how frail the human body is against things sharp and hard". That takes any romantic notions right out of the picture for me. How many other Bierce stories were RMT adapted besides "The d-mned thing", "One of the missing" and "Occurence at Owl Creek Bridge"? I do believe there were others...I believe he wrote a very interesting Civil War tale adapted into the RMT called "Loser take all". What was interesting also was that his stories were adapted around real battles: "Loser take all" - The battle of Shiloh "One of the missing" - The battle of Kennesaw Mountain
I thought the story had excellent potential but ended up so so. It does a good job in demonstrating sad horrors of war, but unfortunately in an entirely predictable manner. This predictabilty occurs when the story veers off and attemts to be mysterious! I'm torn about this one. The themes are important and disturbing. Somehow the presentation, for this listener, did not live up to the stories potential. EG asks us about courage and cowardice after the first act. I certainly don't think we can absolutely call our main character a coward, He was panic struck when involved in his first battle and seeing his friend shot. His reaction was to run. He, and his shot friend, recognized there was nothing to do for the injury. If the story is trying to place an indirect "curse" on him for running then I think this rather inapropriate. This was a person of conscientious character and would likely have suffered far more with awareness and guilt vs being brain dead for some 60 plus yr. So what's the point? I wonder. It was an incidental consequence-being shot, I realize this. However, the story is built on the result of being shot. THEREFORE I WONDER IF IT IS TRYING TO REPRESENT SOME FORM OF PUNISHMENT. Again, without this incidental consequence the awareness would have been a bigger self punishment. So, it seems to be done for the sake of telling a story, and therefore limits the stories true potential. Drama-3.
I don't believe the author is trying at all to represent a form of punishment in our protagonist's mental condition. (Perhaps self-punishment, in the form of guilt feelings.)Rather, I think it's a sad illustration of what often happened to (and does happen to) boys who are too young to be faced with such things. That's why I think the fishing scene is so brilliant, as I mentioned before. It's a perfect metaphor. A pastoral, innocent scene: Two happy, clueless friends fishing and excitedly discussing joining up, when one of the boys fishes up a horror from beneath the water. This is especially great foreshadowing, considering that we later deal with his mental state, and that water is often used as a metaphor for the unconscious mind. And what do they do? They push it back beneath the surface. Well, what else can they do? It terrifies them. There are marvelous layers of emotional, and thematic, depth in this scene. Plus, I do think it's obvous he feels guilt, despite the fact that he couldn't have done anything for his friend. People often feel such guilt when a loved one dies. Guilt and helplessness. It doesn't make sense, anymore than war does, but it happens. This is a finely crafted piece of fiction, delicate, sensitive, and insightful. It's about ordinary people placed in extraordinary and terrible circumstances. It is not, I think, a story meant to be analyzed in broad, simple sweeps. As in any truly great piece of fiction, there is more to it than first meets the eye.
Hi again! Don't you just love it when it's one you've heard before? I do... it gives me a reason to listen again and re-analyze the tale in a new perspective.
I really liked this one. It was simply and even a little predictable, but there was an alluring innocence about it that I enjoyed.
The thing I would really like to point out though, is the production of this one. In most episodes, the ambiance is lit dimly beneath dialogue and mood. Often you'll hear doors close, birds chirping, or the range of car sound effects that are common on the RMT shows.
But this one was especially gratifying. The production team paid special attention to the environment our character was put in. The sounds of the harmonica, the water splashing on the boat, dogs barking, the rushing and clopping of hooves, the rolling of the artillery cannons, the celebration with the band and all, and so on...
Along with the rich narrative descriptions of the environment, this was one of the most immersible episodes I'd heard in a long time.
Although the main character was someone I could somehow relate to, he was played a tad "over the top." But perhaps in the situation he was in (in the story), it was necessary to convey his inner struggle. Such a sad tale.
Along with shows like, IN THE FOG, I can't help but feel such deep sorrow for those men and women who served their country only to be left with such horrible personal reminders of the wars and battles they fought. And though this may have been a fictional tale, the possibility that this actually could have occurred is what I found so becoming of the episode.
Dwight C.
One of the best RMT's I've ever heard. A very sad, haunting, and insightful tale about the moral ambiguities of war, and about loss of innocence---about how war destroys lives . . . one way or another. The fishing scene with the body is an especially brilliant piece of writing, an eerie and compelling piece of foreshadowing that encompasses the themes of the story in one beautifully simple stroke. This is a gem of a short story and makes a terrific Mystery Theater play.
PS: I actually don't think the ending is supposed to be a big mystery. Maybe just a little bit at first. But the fact that it begins to dawn on us pretty quickly what's going on, I think, actually creates a certain tension as we move toward the end of the story, as well as evoking a terrible poignancy. A great and skillful piece of writing.
Lady Crystal Palafox
Being a Star Trek fan, I knew who Arnold Moss was, in fact, the picture of him here is taken from the episode he appeared in, I think (the Conscience Of The King). I heard this on my local radio station, over thirty years ago, and was delighted to find it again. Clearly, a story like this could not be told on television, for obvious reasons. CAUTION: SPOILERS BELOW . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It seems the poor fellow (I\'m going to call him Bob, just to make things easier) in this story suffers from the same amnesia that Drew Barrymore\'s character did in 50 First Dates, namely his wound destroyed his ability to retain new memories. He remembers everything up to the point he was wounded in the back of the head, but can\'t keep memories of anything after. That fits what we see (or hear) in this story, in that he thinks only days have passed, instead of the 60+years that have really passed. I\'m guessing the doctor he meets works at, or as associated, with the hospital the fellow lived at. The doctor comments that Bob looks familiar to him, so he must have seen him at the hospital at some point. The doctor puts things together when he asks Bob his age, and Bob says he\'s nineteen. It\'s hinted that this is not the first time Bob has gotten out of the hospital. I wonder how many times he got out, looking to rejoin his unit in a war long over. Interesting that this time, when Bob gets out, he arrives at Nashville just as their commemorating the Civil War, with everyone in period clothing and such. It would have given away the ending had Bob seen modern (well 1920\'s era) clothes and technology (like automobiles). When Bob sees his reflection, an old man, and realizes the truth, he dies. I guess he had a heart attack from the shock (he was eighty-four years old, after all). The doctor says that Bob was the last of the Civil War veterans. That\'s not exactly true, there were some still around in 1938, when they attended the 75th Anniversary of the Battle Of Gettysburg. Reportedly, the last one died in 1959, he was over a century old, and had served in the Confederate Army. A good story.
From the "is this story anti - war?" comments above I get the impression that the life of Ambrose Bierce is as mysterious to some as was his disappearance. Bierce was a contentious man,cynical and misanthropic. He wasn't anti-war-he enlisted in the Union Army and served in the Civil War,seeing action at Rich Mountain,Shiloh,Pickett's Mill,Chickamunga and Kennesaw Mountain. He knew the horror of war firsthand and his stories ring with that grim knowledge and unsentimental experience. I don't believe those who served condemn or celebrate. They acknowledge,respect and survive.

I remember this episode when it first aired one night when I was in my early teens and heard it while alone in the house.

40th Anniversary of Apollo 11 Mission
Today marks the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 NASA mission that put Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong on the moon. This incredible accomplishment was captured in a black and white video of the two astronauts taking "one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." What better way to celebrate the 40th anniversary than by watching the original footage? Only one problem – NASA couldn't find the tapes.
It turns out that NASA had unintentionally recorded over the original footage of the famous space walk. According to The Associated Press, a digital film restoration company has been hired to restore the video, but it is an expensive and time-consuming process:
"The $230,000 refurbishing effort is only three weeks into a monthslong project, and only 40 percent of the work has been done… The original videos beamed to Earth were stored on giant reels of tape that each contained 15 minutes of video, along with other data from the moon. In the 1970s and '80s, NASA had a shortage of the tapes, so it erased about 200,000 of them and reused them."
We sympathize with NASA and hope they can recover the information. All over the world, however, people are now compiling an increasing amount of digital information. Their data represents family videos and photos, music collections, and financial information. We don't want anyone – from families all the way up to NASA – to lose vital information.
One way Mozy helps you to preserve your information is that it provides you with the ability to roll back to previous versions of a file. That way, when a file is accidentally deleted or modified, you can roll back to a previous, pristine version.
So congrats, NASA, on an amazing achievement. We look forward to seeing the remastered footage!

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Carmen is excellent about not just skimming the surface but going deeper. What's the root cause? I always learn from her
I would really suggest a crate. Not a place to go hide but a place where he can chill out.
|Just thought I'd post an update, he's back to regular sleeping! We moved his bed a bit closer to ours so he wouldn't feel to afraid with the noises. After the windy nights have stopped he's gone back to sleeping on his bed and isn't waking up at the sound of every crack.
hi -- you have to get to the root of the problem for the itchy leg . you can't rely on Benadryl to keep treating a symptom . If the dog is already a bit on the nervy side, not adapting well (sister goes to work , schedule changes) , Benadryl may create more problems . Warning on the side of the box --- quote
Excitiation, Agitation or Nervousness
In some children, Benadryl has the opposite effect of sedation, causing excitation, nervousness or agitation
it does make a difference ! other articles suggest sluggishness during day , hyperactive , insomniac activity at night.
you might want to review the dogs diet overall and do an overhaul -- including brain healthy (neurologically healthy) fish oils - omega 3 , coconut oil , etc etc.
|yeah that's him in the picture but he was 4 months back then. He is constantly playing throughout the day with his toys and is eating normal and going to the bathroom normally as well. He has his regular naps during the day as well and since this has been happening his naps are much longer or course. the only thing that has really changed is that my sister has a new job and isn't at home to play with him during the day like before. he is also on benadryl for an itch he has on his leg if that helps any but hes been on this for a while now so i dont think it would make much difference to his sleeping
give a bit of history on the dog
that is hyper sensitive to noise -- not too forgiving
if the avatar is a picture of your dog , I see avoidance , he is
stiff , looks like he is about to dart off -- whale eye -- so there are probably larger issues which need to be fixed.
See if you give the dog a mild sedative Bach's Flower RESCUE and insist on the dog going back to normal routine. Bach Flower Remedies - Rescue Remedy Pets Dogs Cats Horses Birds
I have seen this work -- while at vet's clinic a dog was rushed in , a dog running loose had a brush with a car -- first thing vet did was to give RESCUE to calm the dog so that he could give proper emergency treatment . That was in the 70's . McCutcheon , East York , a real pioneer in alternative treatments !!! I saw the effects first hand .
Bach Flower Remedies - Rescue Remedy Pets Dogs Cats Horses Birds
|I don't mind if he sleeps in the bed with me, but he gets up and moves around every time he hears a noise. He's so alert to all the sounds that he is barely sleeping a night too.
|Can he sleep in the bed with you?
afraid of noises and won't sleep
Our GSD will not sleep in his own bed anymore and because of this no one in the house is sleeping either. It started on new years eve, there was a lot of nose (fireworks, screaming kids outside etc.) He seemed to be a bit scared that night and jumped into my sisters bed to sleep and slept the night there, he usually does this when its thundering but goes back to his bed the next night normally. The problem this time is that he's been doing this since NYE and seems to be afraid of every little sound the house makes (the click of the AC, creaking of tv settling at night hard wind against the windows especially). What can I do to get him to go back to his normal sleeping patterns and letting us sleep in or own beds? He does not have a crate to go into but has a few sleeping spots he always goes to sleep to. please help!! i cant go another night without sleeping!

If my memory is correct, green tritium's brightness last longer than yellow, amber, red etc. so I would opt for a green front and the yellow rear.
For those who have experience with True Dot sights, which color combination is best?
I have several Glocks with the green/green combo, and currently own one with green front/orange rear dots. I'm not sure if that is the same as the green/amber combo you listed, or an older combo that is no longer available.
Green/green works fine; I have never had any problems with it. I have one Glock with green front and orange rear, and had another Glock set up the same way for a while before selling it (for reasons unrelated to the sights). Both green/orange sight combos also worked fine, and there is NO chance of mistaking the front for one of the rear dots if you were to get the sights laterally mis-aligned during a draw/presentation; so if that is a concern for you, mixed colors might be the way to go. I've never experienced that problem, even during high speed drills in dim light or near-total-darkness, so I tend to look at mixed-color night sights more as a marketing-driven option than a real must-have. Personally, I put the first mixed-color set I bought on a ported Glock, because I wanted a way to I.D. that one as different from the others, even in the dark. The sights worked just fine in that capacity, as well as being just as useful for dim-light shooting.
I have also heard the lifespan concern that VAMarine talked about (above), and it is something users need to keep in mind. If you want bright, eye-catching dots, you'll end up replacing orange (amber?) more often, perhaps every 5-7 years vs. 8-10 years for the green.
My biggest concern with mixed-color illuminated sights is I want the front sight to be the brightest and most noticeable; I want my attention drawn to the front sight. With the green front and orange rear, the rear is muted/dimmer, so the front sight stands out quite well. I have never used or even seen the yellow dot version in the dark, so I don't know how bright it is compared to the green. If it is dimmer than the green front, it may work as well or better than the orange/amber by my standards; if it is brighter than the green front, then I won't choose/use it.
Hope this has been helpful.
Thank you very much!
