I'm continuing to ponder Jesus' interaction with the Syrophoenician woman. Here I'm thinking through a thought, rather than presenting any sort of hypothesis: is the reader of Mark really expected to believe that Jesus wasn't intending to heal the Syrophoenician woman's daughter?
I ask this because there are many readings of the passage in which the woman is said to change Jesus' mind.
Let me unpack my ponderances…
- It's clear that there are significant historical animosities between the Jews and the repatriated northern kingdom (2 Kings 17), but the woman is not requesting anything that would contravene Jewish law or sensibilities, is she? The reader of Mark knows that Jesus can heal at a distance, and that he is happy to heal unclean demon-possessed people in Gentile territory (Mark 5). Wouldn't the reader expect the same thing to happen here?
- The reader of Mark has already come across numerous points at which the ministry of Jesus seems to echo the ministry of Elijah/Elisha, but on a more massive scale: the ministry of John the Baptist; being attended by animals in the wilderness; healing a man with leprosy; multiplying loaves; etc. We have been told explicitly that some people think Jesus is Elijah (6:15). Now we see that Jesus enters the territory where Elijah healed a woman's child – a fact elsewhere explicitly acknowledged by Jesus (Luke 4). Aren't we being set up to expect that Jesus will heal the child?
- The reader of Mark has also already seen that Jesus does not categorise 'clean' and 'unclean' in the way that the Pharisees do (Mark 7). And, as mentioned, we have already seen that Jesus is not put off by the (extreme) uncleanness of an unclean Gentile (Mark 5).
- Further, the reader of Mark has already become familiar with the pattern of seeing a hurdle placed in front of those who come to Jesus pleading for help, which gives them an opportunity to express bold faith (e.g. the full house; the need for the bleeding woman to go public; the death of Jairus' daughter). So isn't it natural for the reader of Mark to suppose that the same thing is happening here, when Jesus offers his initial response?
These things are pushing me to think that the Syrophoenician mother is not changing Jesus' mind. So what, then, is the point of including this episode in Mark's Gospel? I think it functions to underline the motif of Jesus as bread for the world. But I'm still thinking that through…

Doing Business with Burns
February 3, 2011 by localnews · Leave a Comment
Robert Burns attracted a full house at Glasgow South Business Club's January meeting. Held in the beautiful function rooms of the House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston, the lunch celebrated the Bard with former chief executive of SPT, Ron Culley, sharing his wit and wisdom on the subject.
Welcomed by Govan High School music students, the gathering of around 80 members and guests had a feast of entertainment before the meal. Under the baton of Elaine Bonner, Head of Music and accompanist Stephen Roger, vocal soloists were Jennifer Baird, Frazer Chisholm and Tiree McDonald. Recorder soloists were Colette Rinaldi and Gabriele Pikturnaite. Clarinet soloist was Kristofer Shaw and guitar soloist was Craig Connell.
School Head Teacher, Iain White, piped in the haggis which was address, with panache, by Local News Editor, Grace Franklin.
After the delicious meal, Ron Culley took the floor. He had been chief executive of Govan Initiative when it launched the Business Club in 1987. Its first secretary, he reflected on what Govan was like in those, not so far off, days. 'There was no BBC, no Science Centre – that was all derelict dockland. Some parts of Govan had 100% unemployed. So in that relatively short time it is good to see what changes have been made.' He paid tribute to Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency which is today's version of Govan Initiative and the other agencies who are transforming the area.
Since stepping down from the SPT for health reasons, his heart problems are being overcome, he told the audience. Twice before, the Club had anticipated his Immortal Memory at their Burns lunch and twice they'd been disappointed when he'd had to call off for those very health reasons.
Using the lunch as the trial run for his speech – he had three other audiences to address in similar fashion – he asked why Burns had transcended the centuries and was celebrated as the man and the poet, while Shakespeare and Charles Dickens were only celebrated for their works and not their humanity.
'We could ask ourselves if Burns would have stood in the queue at Cupids?' he questioned to much laughter. 'He was a genius but also he had honesty and despite his faults, kept his feet on the ground and despised hypocrisy.'
Explaining how Burns was well schooled in grammar, Ron Culley said his generation of Pollok residents was schooled in the same way. That's why he found writing came relatively easy to him and he has now published two books – copies of which he had with him.
The Kaibab Resolution was a thriller set in America and I Belong to Glasgow – with a foreword by Sir Alex Ferguson – was his own look at his native city. Ron is working on two other novels to complete his first trilogy.
Thanks were expressed to Ron and the other participants by Club member Ralph Riddiough with the whole day efficiently conducted by Club Chairman Remo Pisaneschi.
READERS OF THIS ENEWS have a chance to win a signed copy of Kaibab Resolution. Just tell us what year Glasgow South Business Club was founded. Email answers to: firstname.lastname@example.com with GSBC in the subject box to arrive by 9am Friday 11 February 2011.
Members of the Glasgow South Business Club are raising £500 to pay for one country team to enter the next Homeless World Cup. They have a football signed by Sir Alex Ferguson, who wrote the foreword to Ron Culley's book 'I Belong to Glasgow' which is being raffled. Tickets from the Club committee.

Shawlands shop generates business
November 29, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
For a one-year-old, the Shawlands base of Glasgow South East Regeneration Agency (GSERA) has a lot to celebrate. In the year since the team set up in a vacant shop on Kilmarnock Road at the entrance to the Shawlands Arcade, they have supported 30 new businesses, 40 volunteer placements, 50 qualifications and 50 jobs. So some birthday cake was dispensed among shoppers and traders in the Arcade when Shawlands Market stalls were open on their regular Thursday and Friday sessions.
Said Councillor Archie Graham, Depute Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Shawlands Town Centre Planning Group: 'People living in the Shawlands area have a very valuable resource on their doorstep. This is particularly important in the current economic climate. I am delighted with GSERA's work.'
Fraser Kelly, Chief Executive Officer of GSERA added: 'We are particularly pleased that many of the new businesses we have worked with are now investing in premises of their own, recruiting staff and creating genuine economic return. We are also pleased to be working jointly with our partners in Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency to encourage new-start businesses.'
Among the fledgling businesses nurtured by GSERA is Safe Lettings. Launched by Saima Ahmed, 28, the company is an independent residential lettings and property management agency with an office in Shawlands. Said Saima who left school at 16: 'I came into GSERA with a rough plan of what I wanted to do. I met with my advisor who helped me with all the things I needed to do before I started. They even helped me find business premises.' Now, six months down the line, she comments: 'The business is going really well. I'm glad I took the leap into self-employment. It's really paid off.'
GSERA is one of the five local regeneration agencies serving the city. Staff work face-to-face with each client to help them build the better life they want through improving health, increasing skills and helping them find a job or start or develop a business. Apart from the Shawlands drop-in office, GSERA has similar offices in Castlemilk's Glenwood business centre; Gorbals' Adelphi Centre; Govanhill's Victoria Road; East Pollokshields' Shields Road and Toryglen's Community Base in Prospecthill Square.

Hard work wins awards
November 11, 2010 by localnews · Leave a Comment
By Grace Franklin
Almost 50 people in Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency's area, received Learning Awards this week from Keith Brown, Minister for Skills and Lifelong Learning. And the Agency itself received its Investors in People Silver award.
At a happy, lunchtime event in Pollokshaws Burgh Hall, Councillor Stephen Curran welcomed a large audience of the achievers and their family and friends. Each person recognised in the ceremony is a client of the Regeneration Agency.
Said Minister Brown: 'Those receiving awards have put in a great deal of hard work and thoroughly deserve to be recognised. I have met many people who have benefitted from taking part in community based, adult learning programmes, including literacy and numeracy, as well as programmes aimed at helping to prepare for work. I have heard first hand about the changes to people's lives – being able to help children with homework, increases in confidence, as well as people developing the skills to go for promotion, or take those first steps back into work or learning.' He continued:'The importance of people gaining these vital skills has been underlined in the launch of the Scottish Government's Skills Strategy and subsequent Literacy Action Plan. The programmes delivered by Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency bring these policies to life and help to build the strong communities we need to underpin a sustainable economy.'
Tommy Docherty, Depute Chief Executive of Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency (GSWRA) said, 'This is a really important event for many people – it's like a mini-graduation ceremony. It is vital that we recognise and acknowledge the hard work and determination that our clients put in to help them move on with their lives. The day was a great success and I was thrilled that Keith Brown, Minister for Skills and Lifelong Learning, was able to join us. It made the whole thing a bit more special for everyone.'
At the end of the awards ceremony, Councillor Alex Glass congratulated everyone and said it was a fantastic achievement by everyone concerned. 'There is a wide mix of people who have been successful.' To loud applause he continued: 'This would not have been possible without the staff of Glasgow South West Regeneration Agency who took them through their learning journeys.' He then presented Peter Watson, Vice Chair of GSWRA and Board member Eleanor Harris with the Investors in People Silver Award. 'It is important GSWRA continues to train its staff. Let them go for gold next year!' he encouraged.
All GSWRA clients undergo a range of training courses designed to equip them for the world of work. These include literacy and numeracy, confidence building, community janitors, get ready for work, IT, work based training and progression in work training.

So, I am thinking of parting with them.
The good: Factory HID with bulbs, ballasts and PnP wiring harness. Not very many available right now. Best mod you can do for a bugeye's appearance.
The Bad: Driver's side headlight has some visible scratches and has broken tabs. It also has a small piece that broke and is inside the headlight housing. Because of the broken tabs your grill may or may not fit in it perfectly. The headlight fits in fine, but doesn't bolt up at all points. Also, does not come with leveling motors.
Priced at $800 picked up or plus shipping...
A little dirty, but here are some close-ups...
Passenger side: Perfect
Driver's side: Scratches (which should be able to be wet sanded out), floating piece (easily removed if you wanted to open the headlight, no one ever notices it). It also has a broken upper tab and cracked lower tab - the one that connects to the grill)

Re- and detraditionalising maternalism and women's work in ECEC
Ailwood, Joanne (2006) Re- and detraditionalising maternalism and women's work in ECEC. In Asia Pacific Education Research Association, November 28-30, Hong Kong. (Unpublished)
|PDF (102kB)
For citizens of nations functioning with advanced liberal, knowledge-based economies a dominant theme is the exhortation to become reflexive, self-maximising subjects. This reflexive and self-maximising subject, who is increasingly thought of as separated from institutional and structural constraint as a free and individual agent, has become the valorised citizen of western politics and policy. Some researchers regard this shift in understanding of citizenship as a detraditionalisation; or an unhooking of traditional social roles and relationships, such as gender, from individuals. Others argue that it is instead a more complex process of both detraditionalisation and retraditionalisation; that is 'unhookings' combined and in conflict with reinforcings of 'tradition'.
One site in which these shifts in thinking about subjectivity can be explicated is in the arena of women's labour, motherhood and ECEC. This paper seeks to make an analysis of the way in which Australian governments are 'problematising' ECEC in advanced liberalism, taking account of the complex combination of detraditionalisation and retraditionalisation across women's labour, motherhood and ECEC policy.

The new Google universal menu, YouTube movie rentals and redesign, President Obama joining Google+, Chrome now #2 browser and phone calls within Hangouts are the top stories this week on Google At A Glance!
1. Google Bar – Hack
Google is eliminating the universal black bar at the top of each application and is replacing it with a drop down menu that appears when you hover over their logo.
2. YouTube Movie Rentals/New YouTube Design
YouTube is rolling out movie rentals and a dramatically different UI. The new UI features tighter Google+ integration and shows a feed on the front page of recent videos your friends have shared.
2.Obama Joins G+/G+ Adds Politician Guide
Google+ is attempting to reach out to politicians with a new guide. It seems to be gathering at least a small amount of traffic with President Obama jumping on Google's social network this week.
3. ASUS Transformer Prime
We give our opinions on the iPad vs Android tablets. Do you own a tablet? Answer our new poll question!
4. Chrome now #2 Browser
Chrome jumps ahead of FireFox to take the #2 spot in the browser wars. Internet Explorer still is far ahead and accounts for over 50% of market share.
5. Phone calls within Hangouts
You can now add users via phone to Google+ Hangouts. This is a great new feature for conference calls but at the same time enables video chat for those near a computer.

It has been some time coming, but the quality of apps on Google's highly promising Android platform should be on the rise following the launch of paid applications.
In a surprisingly taught statement, Google Mobile Platform Program Manager Eric Chu proclaimed late last week:
"I'm pleased to announce that Android Market is now accepting priced applications from US and UK developers. Developers from these countries can go to the publisher website at http://market.android.com/publish to upload their application(s) along with end user pricing for the apps. Initially, priced applications will be available to end users in the US starting mid next week. We will add end user support for additional countries in the coming months."
The first of these will be Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, France and Spain which will see priced applications later this quarter with more lined up for the end of March. Unsurprisingly, Google Checkout has been chosen as the payment system for these applications which should cause a major upturn in the so far meandering service's life.
In related news Google also confirmed the poor, often-neglected Aussies will finally be able to download free applications from today with developers now able to submit their apps via http://market.android.com/publish. I did say they were neglected...

So, I've decided to share my reel with fellow videohivers. I would love you to tell me what you think. Thanks.https://vimeo.com/55084499
Nice. You've got a lot of solid motion graphic set pieces on there.
My two points would be…
1. I'm not quite sure how template stuff comes over on a reel, if it's freelance work or a full time position that you're aiming to get with the reel. If it's more for the benefit of stock clients, then no problem.
2. For me, to get your reel to the next level, you really need to have a couple of pieces of work on there that really push the boundaries a little. Whether it's an incredible concept, an outlandishly brilliant and original piece of design work, a job that integrates high-quality shot material, a 3D job with loads of modelling and lighting in there…or any job really that pushes the concept, scope and production value above what's easily achievable on a PC. The reel as it is will certainly open doors for you and it proves you can do it, beyond doubt. But if you want it to rise clearly above that "yet another motion reel" status, then at some point, you're gonna need a couple of clips on the reel that go that extra mile.
Thanks felt, actually I forgot to mention, it's not a real reel It's actually made for fun, to try to sum up last 2 years. So, as I said, it's mostly for fun. I find that I don't have enough good freelance projects to make a really good reel. Any freelance work btw?

What To Do About Excerpting Online?
On the heels of PSFK's attendance at "Remix: Making Art and Commerce Thrive in the Hybrid Economy," hosted by the New York Public Library, we see the "fair use" debate moving further into the online space to tackle the sticky issue of "primary source excerpting." The question at the center of the discussion being -when a site like ours republishes original content, regardless of whether or not credit is given, is the law being broken?
In theory, the fluid nature of information exchange on the internet through links and credits is supposed to be beneficial for all parties. Of course, not everyone is going to take the time to click through to find the original source, but enough do to make the system work well enough – until now. Prior to the recent economic woes, most traditional media outlets – newspapers, magazines etc. – welcomed the republication of their material onto other websites, viewing it as an opportunity to attract wider audiences and convert that increased traffic into bigger ad revenues. But with this income drying up, are content producers going to start guarding their material more closely?
If that answer becomes yes, then the interpretation of the law becomes even more important. The current guidelines are vague at best and applicable on a case by case basis only. They hinge on notions of intent – commercial vs. educational – long term value – is the copyrighted material losing out on any potential market? – and perhaps the most difficult determiner, the amount being borrowed versus the whole – there is no line in the sand as it were.
And while the law struggles to keep pace with the constantly changing online environment, we see an ad hoc system of rules and regulations taking shape in an effort to maintain this unspoken truce of give and take. The Editor-in-Chief of The Business Insider, Henry Blodget, had this to say in an article addressing the controversy, "We excerpt others the way we hope others will excerpt us," favoring a situation where content can appear in "their own words" as opposed to the case of a synopsis where original ideas might be skewed. This "golden rule" approach might not be a perfect model given its inherent ambiguity, but it certainly is as good a place as to start as any. Arianna Huffington, whose own site recently came under fire for appropriating content wholesale, added this quote in the NY Times, "we excerpt to add value," presumably referring to not only driving page views, but also furthering the larger conversation.
This last point might be the most interesting – and one that often comes up when mentioning work by visual artists like Shepard Fairey, Andy Warhol and Richard Prince – but is equally relevant to the written word as well. Although it doesn't resolve the dilemma outright, the concept of "adding value" at least provides one concrete reason behind why careful excerpting – which is just another form of sharing after all – might be a necessary evil to growing our collective ideas online. And while immediacy and total access might be what truly separates the web from print media, we need to make sure we advance these powerful aspects responsibly.
We'd welcome your thoughts on this topic as we do our best to contribute our own good ideas and provide a forum for them to be discussed.

Nasty Talk on ESPN Championship Game – That Scrabble Board Said WHAT?! [PHOTO]
Last night, ESPN did a feature on Alabama Offensive Lineman Barrett Jones. I didn't have the sound on very loud but I could follow the gist of the narrative.
Barrett Jones is not your run-of-the-mill behemoth. He's a very accomplished violinist.
Also, he is really good at Scrabble. Yes, Scrabble.
So, ESPN showed pictures of Barrett playing Scrabble as a child. Look carefully at the following screen-capture and see if you can find the unintentional/possibly intentional graphic sexual terms on the Scrabble board…
1.) Is there some other definition of the word "C-U-M" that I've never heard of?
2.) What are the odds that the "m" in "C-U-M" would intersect into the word "M-O-I-S-T-E-N"?
3.) I guess everybody noticed the "C-U-M"/ "M-O-I-S-T-E-N" 2 word play, but did you notice the "L-O-G"/"G-R-O-W" nexus of nastiness?
4.) Either 9-year old Barrett Jones had a dirty little pre-pubescent mind, or it's a new form of viral marketing ESPN is using on us subliminally.

It's a busy, busy spring here in my studio. I'm working on a new sculpture for a 3 woman show in the USA next May. Pshaw! I hear you cry, that's ages away, but although it's technically a year, it's not too far off, when you consider it takes me 3 solid months' to make a piece and I hope to preview show it here in Dublin in October, so really it's full steam ahead!
I've got the base cape made and am pinning textural ideas to it. (First time in a decade that I've cut a pattern, but it worked surprisingly well.)
The piece explores the ancestral goddess in us all. She is the women that have come before you (think about it, there was always a woman before you!)
She's a shamanic creature, mixed with the animals that have evolved and brought us to the place where we are. I've got the base skull sculpted.
And the tusks and antler maquettes are all underway for casting.
I've spun much of the yarn I need, dyeing some commercially-bought yarn I had in my stash,
but it's all dyed with mushrooms and traditional plant dyes that would have had me burned at the stake as a witch in times gone by.
Chakras at the ready, girls...
And then there's the life-encrustment for the cape that seems to be growing from my crochet hook.

Hard work pays off for Maduma
By Dave Spencer / Fightnews Canada
Photo: Herby Whyne
It's the best combination you can have in boxing; a tool chest full of talent validated with a hard work ethic that pushes you above and beyond. For Canadian lightweight Ghislain Maduma (10-0 6KO) who returns to action tonight in Montreal against Sergio Priotti (25-12-2 8KO), the two complimentary but succinct disciplines are now being intertwined, something that wasn't always the case for the talented fighter.
The Congo born fighter who got his first taste of the sport by watching tapes of Roy Jones has always had the talent, but is now following up hard with the necessary hard work. "I told my uncle it looked easy," Maduma recently told FightNews of his days as a know-it-all teenager, a comment that earned the youngster a trip to the gym and the beginning of an amateur career that included close to eighty fights and trip back to his native Congo and an attempt to crack that country's Olympic team. "As an amateur, I was good, I was talented, but I was not an athlete. I was a talented guy who was doing boxing, I was not training as an athlete. When I finally turned pro, I wanted to do it for myself and really train as an athlete. I started really working and making boxing a priority in my life."
Maduma was undecided as to whether to turn pro after his Olympic dream failed to materialize but was spurred on by his trainer Mike Moffa and those who the five-time Quebec champion cut his teeth with coming up and having success in the pro ranks. "I was watching everybody having success and in the back of my mind that I could do it. You need the motivation and after the motivation you need to put the work in. Without work, motivation means nothing. When I started working, the success came by itself. The first day I started boxing I had the talent, but when I started working it hard, I really saw the benefits."
So far, Maduma likes what he sees.
"I'm enjoying it, each day is different, when you're not used to working hard, they give everything to you when you have talent. You do see things that you do when you really work for it. You don't have the same level of happiness you do when you really have to work for something instead of just being given to you because you have talent. I'm enjoying it every day. The jogging, the conditioning, it's hard but I'm enjoying it. It's because everyday I'm getting a little closer to something I never was as an amateur fighter."
So far the results are showing. In his last fight, Maduma drew Pedro Navarrete, a right of passage for all Montreal fighters making their way up in the lightweight category and a fighter who will make you work for the duration and take you to the scorecards. Maduma did as well as any of his Canadian contemporaries and scored an early knockdown before the Mexican fighter closed it down and put on the track shoes for the duration. "There are guys that sometimes it's hard to look good against them," said Maduma, "You just have to take the win and move on to your next fight. You need two guys to make a fight, but you can't blame him, I think maybe I hurt him much more than I thought I did. For the first two he was there, watching what I was doing, but after that he just disappeared." The fight provided Maduma with his first ten round foray and some needed experience. "It was my first ten rounds and I just had to stay calm and not get over-anxious just to please everyone. Do what I have to do."

Florida Election Qualifying Losing Personal Touch
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) - The tradition of Florida candidates standing in line to personally file their qualifying papers is just a memory.
Only one candidate was on hand as qualifying opened at noon Monday for federal and state offices.
They include newly redistricted congressional and legislative seats as well as a U.S. Senate seat.
Most candidates were relying on other people or delivery services to get their papers filed by noon Friday.
The new district lines are expected to cause some office-seekers to change their political plans. Florida this year added two more congressional districts to bring the state's total to 27 because of population growth between 2000 and 2010.
Clay County Clerk of Courts James Jett was first in line. He's trying to unseat U.S. Rep. Cliff Stearns, a fellow Republican.

The System: Galileo Removes Manufacturing Barrier
With final satellite construction bids pending as this magazine goes to press, the Galileo program clarified a recent round of launch postponements and announced that the European Union (EU) will rescind its requirement for a special license to manufacture and sell Galileo receivers.
"We have an ambition to become, after GPS, the second system of choice," stated Paul Verhoef, program manager of the EU satellite navigation programs, at the World Congress of the International Association of Institutes of Navigation (IAIN) on October 28. "In order to reach that, the user market is key. We are currently putting our hands to the last bits and pieces of the documentation [revising the previous Galileo Interface Control Document], to be published in a few weeks' time. We will no longer require a licensing document in order to manufacture and sell devices. We had to do this bit of work to follow up on the initial [different] preparations made under the public-private partnership."
Contract by Christmas. The first two in-orbit validation (IOV) satellites will be launched in November 2010, and the next two in April 2011. Verhoef referred to the previous Galileo full operational capability (FOC) date of 2013. "You now know we are not going to meet that date," said Verhoef.
"We come to the procurement as it stands at this moment. We are procuring the capacity through six main work packages. We are on track to announce the satellite contracts before Christmas, as well as the system support contract. Perhaps the launch contract, but perhaps not until after Christmas. The other contracts are not time-critical at this point, therefore we have delayed them slightly; to be announced in first quarter 2010.
"We have split the total of the 28 satellites we will order into two work orders. In the first, we will procure up to 22 satellites, and in the second the rest. Industry bidders are to submit their best and final offer for 8, 14, and 22 satellites. The most crucial decision in the whole procurement will then be for us to go single-source with one of them, or dual-source with both."
The final and "best" bids were due to the EU and ESA on November 13 from the two consortia competing to build out the constellation.The EADS Astrium-Thales Alenia Space partnership, larger of the two, has by conventional wisdom the inside track to win the contract. However, the competion, led by OHB of Germany, includes Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) of the UK, which has the better track record in Galileo satellite manufacture to date.
"A double supplier would mean spending extra money," said Verhoef in his IAIN remarks, "but it would bring some risk reduction. Will it be worth the extra money we will have to pay for it? By the end of the year we hope to have the answer for that. By the end of the year we will have under contract the delivery of 22 satellites, and the launch contract. Then we will be able to give a very clear schedule on deployment.
"There remains uncertainty on where it will end. Budget questions depend on parliament and the EC, which will drive the final aspects of the work. We live in difficult economic times, and there are some things to be determined in 2014, when the next funding cycle will begin.
"By the end of 2013, we will have an initial constellation of 16 satellites: four IOV and 12 FOC satellites. This is targeted to provide the open service, and parts of the other services: safety of life, PRS, and commercial. Completion of these will depend on funding questions."
See the Satellite. An online story on Britain's BBC News channel contains a two-minute video clip (see PHOTO) showing close-ups of the antennae and other elements of the IOV satellite under manufacture at an EADS Astrium facility in Portsmouth, United Kingdom.
Once completed, the payload will travel to Thales Alenia Space in Rome, Italy, for attachment to the main spacecraft bus, with a propulsion system, avionics, and solar panels, and then go to the European Space Agency (ESA) port in Kourou, French Guiana. Both intial satellites are intended to rise aboard a Russian Soyuz rocket, which has had its own problems recently, with delays due to changes necessary for the ESA launch pad.
System Updates
GPS to Fly Without Back-Up. U.S. President Obama and Congress have removed a key back-up system for GPS. The president signed the Department of Homeland Defense appropriations bill that allows termination of Loran-C in January 2010. Loran-C and modernized eLoran could prevent national and industrial infrastructure breakdown in the event of disruptions, interference, or intentional jamming. The House of Representatives passed a Coast Guard authorization bill calling for Loran termination, in line with the DHS appropriations bill. For details see www.pnt.gov; see also "Letters" in this issue, page 13. The Coast Guard Commandant and DHS are expected to sign off almost immediately that Loran-C can be terminated. Once they sign it, Loran signals could go off the air as early as January 4, 2010.
GLONASS Signal Misbehavior. The planned September and October launches of three new GLONASS-M satellites were scrubbed, and the traditional Christmas launch appears doubtful at best. The Russians have commissioned a special task force to investigate a problem with the signal generator aboard an orbiting satellite, detected in late August. It is not known whether the same problem affects three satellites on the ground, destined for imminent launch.
Beidou's Second Bird. Beidou G2, launched last April, has drifted 10 degrees from its initial geostationary orbital slot. This may mean that it is uncontrollable and has been abandoned. Such a failure — if it is one — may delay launch of new satellites to begin filling out the Chinese GNSS. As previously reported, demonstration satellite Beidou 1D is also adrift.

The Sutter Buttes, formerly known as the Marysville Buttes, are a small circular complex of eroded volcanic lava domes which rise as buttes above the flat plains of the Sacramento Valley in Sutter County, Northern California.
The summit of South Butte, at 2122+ feet (647+ m), is the highest point in Sutter Buttes and the highest point in Sutter County.[1] The Buttes are located just outside Yuba City in the Sacramento Valley, the northern part of the Central Valley. Located at the base of the mountain is the small town of Sutter. They are named for John Sutter, who received a large land grant from the Mexican government. The Sutter Buttes are referred to as the world's smallest mountain range.[2]
Natural history[edit]
The small range forms a rough circle approximately 10 miles (16 km) from north to south and east to west.[2]
The Sutter Buttes were formed about 1.6 million years ago in the early Pleistocene Epoch by volcanic activity. The mountains are the remnants of a volcano that has been dormant for over a million years.[3] The eruptions continued until about 1.4 million years ago.[4] Some geological references suggest that it represents the southernmost boundary of the Cascade Volcanoes, but there are significant differences in age and form compared to the other volcanoes in that range.[5] Others suggest that its age places it with the volcanic elements of the California Coast Ranges; its composition is closer to that range but does have significant differences. The volcano is believed to have erupted along a now inactive fault line.[4] The questions about their origin and connection to other regional volcanic activity are the subject of ongoing research.
Soils and vegetation[edit]
The rugged central part of the Buttes has a stony brown sandy loam soil of variable depth and good to somewhat excessive drainage. The smoother perimeter has more variable soil with clay or silt loam areas among the sandy loams. These soils support grassland or oak woodland.[6] The Sutter Buttes contain many flora and fauna species. Wildflowers are represented by numerous taxa; included in these many wildflowers is the yellow mariposa lily, Calochortus luteus.[7]
Native American lore[edit]
The Sutter Buttes figure prominently in the creation stories and other traditions of the indigenous Maidu and Wintun peoples. The Maidu (or Nisenan) lived to the east of the Buttes and the Wintun (Patwin) to the west. No tribe claimed ownership of the Buttes, and there were only seasonal encampments in the mountain. Native Americans did visit the mountain regularly to gather acorns and other foods or to hunt game. The Buttes were also a center of regional Native American religion. According to anthropologist Alfred Kroeber, the Patwin village where the city of Colusa now stands was the "hotbed" where the Kuksu Cult was established. This religion spread through much of northern California. Ceremonies were performed in earthen dance lodges where spirit impersonators would re-enact ancient mythological events. The Maidu, who lived in their shadow for thousands of years, called them Esto Yamani, which means "the Middle Mountain",[8] the Wintun called the Sutter Buttes Onolai.[citation needed][original research?] .
Recent history and access[edit]
In the Mexican land grant made to Captain John Sutter, the Sutter Buttes were called "los tres picos" or The Three Peaks. John C. Frémont in 1843 called them "The Three Buttes." During the Gold Rush they acquired the name Marysville Buttes.[9]
Public access to the Sutter Buttes is limited. Almost all of the land is privately held by ranchers and farmers, but an important exception is a 200-acre parcel encompassing most of North Butte, donated by deed from the McClatchy Corporation to the Sutter Buttes Regional Land Trust.[10] The terms of the Deed of Conveyance include the stipulation that the donated land be used for supervised public educational access, not for private use. The deed further stipulates that if these terms of conveyance are violated the land can revert to McClatchy ownership.[citation needed] A few naturalists and local organizations, including Middle Mountain Interpretive Hikes,[11] and the Sutter County Historical Society,[12] lead hikes through some areas. Since 1929, the State of California had considered purchasing the land for protection and a state park.
In 1963, a missile silo complex containing three separate Titan I ICBM missiles was constructed near the base of the Buttes. The site was active from 1963 to 1965, and it was decommissioned and mostly dismantled in 1965. The site has been host to many vandals and trespassers since the early 1980s to the present.[13]
In 2003, the California Department of Parks and Recreation purchased 1,784.5 acres (7.2 km²) in Peace Valley on the north side of the Sutter Buttes with the intent to develop it as a state park. The land did not have a public access. The California Department of Parks and Recreation lists the park's name as unofficial and its current status as closed to the public as of 2017.[14] This land will continue to sit unused for the foreseeable future. The only access to the property is an easement 20 feet wide running about two miles from North Butte Road. The route crosses private lands and is not suitable for the public to enter.

Essence of salt and waves crashing
The World of the Sea has a heart
Careful not to offend thee ~
The spills of oil , nuclear waste
Drilling and mistakes,
Man infused sewage and waste
The capture of Fish while Dis guarding a life of a Dolphin
The Sea and its very Mystery is crying as all fish dying
Is there a place and time where we stop and love what was given
The Heart of the Sea not to ever be underestimated
For when sadden great wrath will fall in sequence with wind
Water and Wind can create its Heart broken fiercely without mercy
What have we done to create this disharmony
It is not hard to see as Tsunamis and Hurricanes such as Katrina unfold
It is the Heart of the Sea Broken , The heart of the Sea Spoken
We hear her Heart , we feel her wrath ,
The Heart Of The Sea ...this Heart cries
This Heart is angry , will we take responsibility ?

Why all this Destructions? – Zamreen Zarook
God created this whole universe for the mankind,
He gave everything lavishly, thinking that we might be kind,
Even though people are able, they seems to be blind,
Whereas people failed to mind.
The sky which was created for the man started to scream and cry,
Since good morals and ethics were decry,
The fire started to do the mimicry,
As the water lands cannot bear, it came to man with a battle cry.
Land couldn't hold and it started to gorge,
Fresh air merged with chemicals and started to urge,
Whatever created for the man have started to over charged,
Stop evil and let the merits be enlarged.

I've a million things to do today:
Like save the world, and cure the sick,
Feed the starved, and free the Slaves-
Sustain the Poor, my stars predict!
A home for all, the naked clothed,
And make the water clean to drink
I bring them Peace, and save their Soul;
I do, I do! Just ask my Shrink!

I've done all that I can and I can't lose $6k by selling this car. My options are now:
1) Live with it
2) Crash the car into a tree to ensure I'll either total the car or need a new transmission (hmmm
3) Drive like an ass to ensure the clutch falls apart within the warranty period
4) Have a private shop fix it/fix it myself
I don't really
any of those options. The car has 38k miles, so it's well past lemonability. I'm open to your suggestions.
Current plan is somewhere between "Live with it" or taking it to the dealer once more (there is a possibility that I'll get charged $125) if that happens, I'll pay it and then ask to purchase $800 in new parts and do it myself. It's well-documented that they can only deny warranty claims if they have proof that what you did damaged the vehicle. So if I go to a mom&pop shop and pay a tech to loosen the bolts on my bell housing and oil starts coming out. Can I then have it towed to Ford and just pay the shop the $15 of their time I wasted? I could certainly do it myself, but I feel like that would be more difficult to say "I didn't break it."
The lemon law should be an option. It sounds like you haven't looked to deeply in to it. In most cases whether the warranty has expired or not is irrelevent; assuming that is the issue was present earlier on. Every state has a lemon law and if repeated attempts to have your car repaired have failed and the problem persists, then you might look in to hiring an attorney who specializes in lemon law cases. Typically attorney's don't charge you anything if they accept the case, instead they seek their attorney's fees from the manufacturer when the case settles. Believe me the manufacture doesn't want these cases to go to trial, so they have a healthy incentive to resolve these issues before they go to court. Your first step should be to contact Crystal at FOMOCO to see if she can escalate the issue to a Regional Manager who can enure that they have the right people working on your problem.
If that fails, then you always have the option of using the lemon law. The way it works is when your car is accepted as a lemon, the manufacturer buys the car back from you. Under (California) law, that means you get ALL OF YOUR MONEY BACK.
This includes downpayment, all of yor monthly payments, taxes, title, licensing fees, service charges and any money spent on parts and accessories. They do subtract out prorated mileage for your use of the vehicle (per mile) beginning with the first service visit where the defective issue originated. This is why I say the fact that your car is out of warranty with 38,000 is irrelevant because the claim begins with the first service visit, not your existing mileage. If the car was accepted under the lemon law for transmission issues and you waited until 15,000 miles before having the vehicle serviced for that specific issue, but the car now has 38,000 miles on it, the first 15,000 miles are subtracted out using a mileage calculation, such as 0.20 per mile. eg.. 15,000x0.50=$3,000. So in this example you would be charged $3,000 for the use of the vehicle during the first 15,000 miles where the car was "defect free". This money would be deducted from the amount they owe you. So let's assume the total you've invested equaled $13,000 (payments, downpayment, etc, etc) they would subtract the $3,000 and you would receive a check for $10,000. This is the option that most people prefer, because then you can use that money to buy any make/model vehicle you want or use it for something else if you like. Option 2 would be to have the car replaced with a new one. If you plan on buying another Ford, then this may not be a bad option. Obviously as a manufacturer it costs them less to build a car than it does you to buy one. The point here is they may reward you for sticking with the brand and upgrade you in to a different model or higher trim package than the car you have now.
So before doing anything, I'd recommend that you take a deeper look in to the lemon law for your state or even better contact a lemon law attorney and request a free consultatation. That would be a very good start.

800-900rpm in gear.
A stock torque converter will not work. Get a 10" 3500 stall converter.
Reset the carbs throttle position at idle for .020" fuel transfer slot exposure at idle.
Pri and sec.
Use a 4.5" rated power valve.
The more idle timing you give it the nicer it will idle and the better the throttle response at low rpm.
May even like the distributor advance curve simply locked out.
34 to 36deg locked. You are on the border line for this.
give the motor all the idle timing it wants to idle clean.
Thanks again Fbird for your advice.
This motor loved the high base timing u suggested, but at 3rd or 4th gear, when id back of the gas, I was getting massive detonation. I have a 3,000 stall already.. is that not high enough and causing the detonation?

Ill give this info to my carb guy so he can set my carb up proper
its a rochester Qjet
and yea I noticed it idles pretty ****ty with low timing. THe higher timing, it sounds much better. I only changed it back to low initial because of the detonation.
is 6" vacuum in gear enough for my power brakes? or do I need a pump..?
thanks Fbird

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Exiles, Hello.
I have worked up that way for a few years and I'm familiar with Lerwick in the Shetlands. Mostly visited by Norwegian yachts, but some Brits too. The main town of Lerwick has much to offer, full provisioning, yachts services, fuel and most importantly, Capt. Flints Bar. The 'marina' is a protected inlet open from the North or South, and is situated virtually right down-town. The Airport in Sumbrugh is about 20 miles away, right at the Southern tip of the Shetlands. Taxi's a 'plenty.
I'd say you would appreciate the stop. If I'm sailing that way anyday, I plan to make a stop in Lerwick. I hear the other surrounding bays are quite nice too. That whole area is pristine, I imagine just as the Vikings saw it.
Never really pulled into the Orkneys, so cannot adivise.
Orkney or Shetlands????
I am planning a trip from Copenhagen to Reykjavik in the near future and have a couple of questions I need answered before my pilots and cruising guides arrive.
I am wondering if anyone has experience with sailing this route or from Scotland to Iceland. I would like to know if you suggest sailing through the Shetlands or the Orkneys?
Up to this point I am slightly favouring Orkneys to make it as far to the west as possible as early as possible as the winds tend to be predominantly from west and I want to make it to Reykjavik.
I have read to avoid Pentland skerries by going through Skapa flow but cannot find any information about protected harbours or yacht clubs in Skapa if I need to leave the boat for a few days/change crew etc. Or is it better I just avoid Orkney and stop in the Shetlands? and where is a good place to stay?
Thanks all!

Recessionistas in, fashionistas out in bad economy
By Jill Serjeant
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Move over fashionistas -- there's a new girl in town.
She's called the "recessionista" and she delights in spending $70 rather than $700 on a cashmere cardigan or $1 to make a kiwi fruit face mask instead of shelling out $100 for a session at a trendy day spa.
As the world economy tanks, recessionistas are finding pleasure in finding bargains rather than splurging in an era where ostentatious consumption -- even for the well-off -- is beginning to appear gauche.
"There is something grotesque about paying full price -- $2,500 - $3,500 on a handbag. It is such a dumb thing to do," said Mandi Norwood, former editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan and Mademoiselle magazines.
"It is very chic to save and very chic to get a deal. Any girl wants to look stylish but also be perceived as smart," she said.
The word recessionista -- originally a person who enjoys dressing fashionably on a budget -- has gained rapidly in currency and now embraces the worlds of dining, entertaining and beauty.
It was declared the word of the week on the Macmillan Dictionary Web site last week and is one of the top fashion buzz words of 2009, along with its sibling "chiconomics," according to the Global Language Monitor.
Recessionistas enjoy hunting for bargains on sample sale Web sites, in consignment stores and in discount stores which commission inexpensive fashion lines from top designers. Continued...

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Entering Friday's game, Jon Lester was on quite a roll. He was coming off two straight wins, with 22 strikeouts over 16 innings. It seems that Jon Lester has finally found his form of 2008, except the 2009 version may be even better. Lester was magnificent Friday night against the Phillies, becoming the first Red Sox starter with 10+ strikeouts in three straight starts since Pedro Martinez in 2004. He tossed seven strong innings and allowed just one run on two hits and two walks with 11 K's and left with the 2-1 lead.
Jonathan Papelbon saved the final two games of the Yankees series and was unavailable to pitch Friday. In his place was Ramon Ramirez, who was coming off a rough appearance against the Yankees in his previous outing (allowed HRs to Johnny Damon and Mark Teixeira). Facing Ryan Howard in the ninth, Ramirez allowed a mammoth blast to tie the game 2-2 and send it to extras.
The Red Sox broke the scoreless tie with three runs on a Jacoby Ellsbury RBI single, a Nick Green sacrifice fly, and a Mike Lowell RBI single in the 13th inning to earn the 5-2 win.
Jacoby Ellsbury, CF: Ellsbury finished 2-6, including the go-ahead RBI single with the bases loaded in the 13th inning. He had a 2-0 count and color commentator Dave Roberts begged him to continue taking pitches, but Ellsbury saw something he liked and ripped it to right field for the clutch base hit.
Dustin Pedroia, 2B: This is more a personal thing between me and Pedroia. He's on my primary fantasy team, and he rewarded me by going 0-7 in the game. Who does he think he is, Big Papi (from May)?
"Lester was so good," Terry Francona said. Well said, Terry…well said.

According to the latest data from the U.S. Commerce Department, housing starts – or new home construction – jumped 13.2 percent from March to April of 2014 to a seasonally adjusted rate of 1,072,000 – the highest increase since November 2013. This uptick is great news for homebuilders, as it demonstrates that Americans coast to coast are seeing the value of owning a property that is customized to their needs in the long term as opposed to renting a space with minimal amenities.
What's most interesting about this survey, which was conducted in conjunction with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), is the fact that the wants and needs of consumers entering the housing market have shifted dramatically over the past several decades. This not only includes aesthetic details, such as granite countertops and stainless-steel fronted appliances, but invisible amenities that make habitation more comfortable and costs of living more affordable.
For instance, the HUD report found that in 2013, 129,000 of all multi-family homes built were heated with electricity compared to 64,000 that were heated with gas. While among single family units, these figures were at 214,000 for electric heat and 347,000 for gas, the gap has closed markedly over the years, which shows a shift in consumer attitudes.
While radiant floor heating can be powered by an array of energy sources, the way heat is produced and dispersed has a number of benefits compared to traditional ventilation home heating.
Perhaps the most basic is the distribution of the heat: In the case of a traditional ventilation heating system, hot air is pumped out of a vent, disperses throughout the room on an upward trajectory before falling and cooling, leaving an uneven distribution of heat throughout. In the case of radiant floor heating, a cool surface is warmed by the floor heating mats underneath evenly throughout. This heat will build and equalize throughout the room, creating a more consistently temperature-regulated environment.
If you are considering a new home that is in line with the most efficient construction trends, talk to your home builder and one of the experts at Warm Your Floor about having radiant floor heating systems installed within your future home.

1998 by the American College of Chest Physicians
Study objective: To develop and evaluate a brief, easy-to-administer symptom assessment scale for use as a preference-based outcome measure in clinical trials and cost-effectiveness studies in asthma.
Design: Cross-sectional survey with 2-week reproducibility assessment.
Setting: Ambulatory care: university asthma and allergy center.
Participants: One hundred sixty-one adults with asthma, 59% female, mean age 35 ± 11 years. Mean FEV1 percent predicted was 86 ± 17%.
Interventions: The 11-item Asthma Symptom Utility Index (ASUI).
Measurements and results: Mean ASUI score for this sample was 0.71 ± 0.23, with a range from 0.02 to 1.0. The ASUI was reproducible (intraclass correlation coefficient = 0.74) and able to distinguish patients known to differ on disease severity according to clinician ratings (p < 0.001) and by an asthma disease severity scale score (p < 0.001). The instrument was also significantly correlated with FEV1 percent predicted (r = 0.27, p < 0.001), the Asthma Quality of Life Questionnaire (r = 0.77, p < 0.001), and the Health Utilities Index Mark 2 (r = 0.36, p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The results of this study support the reliability and validity of the ASUI, suggesting it will be a useful, complementary patient outcome measure for clinical trials and cost-effectiveness studies comparing treatment alternatives for persons with asthma.

Many people in the seven European Union nations surveyed express negative views about minority groups in their country, according to Pew Research published on May 12. In particular, negative attitudes toward Roma (sometimes also known as Gypsies) are common, while many also give Muslims unfavourable ratings. Negative attitudes toward Jews are less pervasive. Negative sentiments about all three groups are consistently more common among people on the ideological right.
At least half of those surveyed in Italy, Greece and Poland say they have a negative opinion of the Muslims who live in their country. Public opinion is divided on this question in Spain, while in Germany and the UK a majority says they have positive views of Muslims. The most favourable ratings are registered in France (72% favourable), which among the seven nations surveyed has the highest percentage of Muslims in the national population.
As is the case with attitudes toward Roma, views about Muslims are tied to ideology. While 47% of Germans on the political right give Muslims an unfavourable rating, just 20% on the left do so. The gap between left and right is also more than 20 percentage points in France, Italy and Greece. And significant differences are found in Spain and the UK as well.
Attitudes are also linked to age, with negative sentiments more pervasive among older respondents. In Spain, about half of those age 50 and older (51%) give Muslims in their country an unfavourable rating; only a third of people under age 30 say the same. Significant differences between people 50 and older and 18- to 29-year-olds are also found in France (a gap of 12 percentage points), Germany (13 points), Italy (12 points) and the UK (9 points).

At 72, Christopher Logue probably enjoys the thought of having been a dilemma for his more staid contemporaries. His poetry can't be slotted into any of their convenient categories. His public personality has been consistently abrasive. His causes were good, brave ones (anti-apartheid, CND) but he never missed out on the limelight in promoting them. Was the poet, publicist and charismatic performer seeking just to be a one-man, high-profile awkward squad?
Apart from War Music , his version of Homer's Iliad , this memoir is his most substantial, and (including War Music ) the most enjoyable. It's assumed nowadays that autobiography will uncover hidden areas of a life, be sexually candid and reveal its author to be vulnerable and self-doubting at heart. Prince Charming meets these requirements but achieves much more. It provides a truthful and more comprehensible version of a problematic character. It rescues from the wreckage of various phases and crazes (where is jazz poetry now?) a man indisputably and agonisingly committed to his art.
Born in 1926, he is the only child of an English mother and a 'devout Irish-English Catholic' father, respectable and modest people meeting the expectations of Hampstead Garden Suburb. The profusion of family detail in his early pages can be chaotic, but Logue's amazing visual and tactile memory and his skill in reconstructing dialogue converts it all into absorbing narrative.
Young Christopher plays the Prince in his primary school Cinderella and has elocution lessons, but confesses that he also learns to lie and steal. He moves on to a frightening Christian Brothers academy where a fellow pupil is Peter Levi, later a poet himself and Oxford Professor of Poetry, who has recently told him about the anti-Logue secret society in the school.
He scrapes through School Certificate, but shoplifts copies of Men Only from a newsagents and gets six months' probation. Then suddenly it is 1944 and he is enlisting in the army. An injury during training results in a detached retina, not properly diagnosed until he is court-martialled and imprisoned in Palestine for pilfering blank army paybooks, useful for creating false identities. A bungled operation leaves him sightless in his left eye. The circumstances of this loss are shocking, Logue's account of them a model of stoical understatement.
With a tiny disability pension he rejoins his parents, now in Bournemouth, and recalls, vividly and affectionately, the group of local friends which includes Charles Fox, who becomes the doyen of jazz critics and a notable broadcaster. Everything so far has happened 'On My Way to Paris', according to the title of the first of the book's three sections. The second is 'Paris', and the last and longest is 'On My Return Home'.
In his Paris of drifting ex-pats and 'pornocrats', he writes his first publishable poems. He meets people who become a lifelong influence: some talented, some crazy, only one, Samuel Beckett, a writer of stature. Women attract him but he 'dislikes physical intimacy': affairs are disastrous and he becomes suicidally depressed. It is sometimes hard to grasp why those five years were the pivot on which his life turned; except that they represent his youth, and in the London of 1956 he already feels no longer young.
Still, with two finely printed slim volumes of verse gaining notice (though one reviewer calls the second, Devil, Maggot and Son , 'a distinctly dubious firm'), he settles into then unfashionable Notting Hill and swiftly establishes connections: Kenneth Tynan, Lindsay Anderson; later on, Richard Ingrams, Ken Russell and Bernard Stone, bookseller extraordinary.
In 1961, he is willingly swept into the Committee of 100 civil disobedience campaign in support of nuclear disarmament. Attention-seeking? There is an element of that. Mere radical chic, as some claimed? No. Logue, with Arnold Wesker and the 89-year-old Bertrand Russell, did time for defying the Public Order Act, something to be admired and respected. He offers here some interesting additions to the story of what persuaded British artists and intellectuals, on one rare and special occasion, to sit down en masse in the streets of London.
Most crucially, a jazz poetry project he sells to Donald Carne-Ross, BBC producer and classics don, leads to his rendering an episode from the Iliad into starkly energetic, thoroughly up-to-date English verse. And subsequently another passage, and another. Gradually, and painfully, these were extended and developed into War Music, which was broadcast, staged several times, and published to critical plaudits.
Which brings him up to date. Because that task has turned into a lifelong devotion. It could have denied readers the verse on personal and political themes he might have written before the Iliad focused his varied and erratic energies. But his more conventional fellow poets should be placated by War Music , and by Logue's acknowledgement, in this entertaining and revealing account of the life that led up to it, that writing worthwhile poetry is a slow, lonely and punishing pursuit. Looking for his muse in the seedy outhouses and trendy salons of the palace, Prince Charming finally found her in the library.
