Is there a way to get brown striping paint by mixing existing striping paint? I am looking to paint a some curb and gutter that are brown and almost the same color as the concrete. I was hoping to talk them into gray by mixing white and black but they want the same brown. I typically use either SW HOTLINE or SETFAST paint. Thanks!

Eddie Bravo invented the Twister after smoking four bowls and grappling Joe Rogan while Rogan was dressed up in an alligator costume. Or something like that. The point is, as techniques go, it's relatively new, and so effective that it's banned in most grappling competitions.
But you can credit Chan Sung Jung, a.k.a. "The Korean Zombie" for being the first fighter to pull that move off in the Octagon, tapping out Leonard Garcia with it way back in 2011.
It's doubtful that TKZ will get to pull that ace from up his sleeve when he faces Dennis Bermudez at UFC Fight Night 104 on Saturday. However, that doesn't mean the move isn't worth a Gracie breakdown!

Reflections at the main entrance, or Grenades at it not that system
Photo: ffu.org.ua
Life is the best screenwriter and Director. Sometimes she throws journalistic topics, which are not pre-planned.
After the twentieth Congress of the FFU with some colleagues, was standing on the street in front of the Home of football and shared their opinions about the Affairs of our football.
From the building came the Vice-President of UEFA and honorary President of FFU Grigory Surkis, and it immediately went to the correspondent of "2+2" with the operator, after a while they added a similar pair of channels "Football".
What is the way?
I fell in love with this fellowship, I joined the reportorial fraternity. Frankly speaking, my attention was drawn to THAT will tell Grigory Mikhailovich, but HOW would leaking his dialogue with broadcasters.
Why not WHAT? In my opinion, GMS could hardly tell something new, different from his speech at the Congress. The text voiced from the rostrum of the main Assembly of the football of Ukraine, was, in fact, absolutely informative and reasoned. It was supported by examples from the practice of solving this problem with FIFA, UEFA, FFU and UPL and the reaction of the main international football structures in any challenge to the security of all participants from players to fans in the stadiums. On any challenge, be it nevyezde Ukrainian teams in Russia or the recent events in Dortmund.
In the form of a short statement of GMS lined up clear, elastic, without a single drop of "water". You can Supplement it was only some new examples, but not arguments. In the meeting room all the arguments have been voiced.
Why not? Because I had an interesting dialogue between the interviewers and their hero. Indeed, the degree of constructivism present much-needed football of Ukraine depends on both parties of the dialogue itself.
A young correspondent of the "Pros" have asked the correct question, which got an equally valid answer. Immediately in the conversation wedged seasoned reporter "Footballs". His question was obviously provocative, and certainly prepared in advance.
Further, the attention to detail! And not because they, as we all know, the devil, no, I prefer another formula of Chekhov. Anton Pavlovich all clearly explained the meaning of "image," namely, the image – ability of a small to see large.
So, the subsequent details in "slow show", or, in the language of football, the TV replay of the moment. Younger than his colleague from a rival channel, the correspondent of "2+2" go silent, perhaps because of common courtesy, and perhaps because of the journalistic solidarity – it allows the hero to answer a colleague's question. But the hero of the interview simply did not notice that question and very politely drawn to the reporter, "Pros":
I'm listening to you…
A small retrospective
Note that GMR is not rude to the representative of R. L. Akhmetov's holding company, did not recall him known "masterpieces of creativity", from the "cattle", and completing one of the last chronological "journalistic speech" Alexander Denisov:
"In the Internet appeared rumors that Grigory Surkis wants to return to the leadership in Ukrainian football and the extraordinary electoral Congress in June is going to get the position of Vice President of FFU. Return to the Home of football Grigory Surkis will put an end to that the Ukrainian arbitration is free from any funny business".
Here too to remember that, firstly, those rumors were not confirmed life rumors. And, secondly, it is, of course, "aerobatics" of a journalist to refer to the rumors.
And another detail from the text in the Studio, VF – about the Ukrainian arbitration, ostensibly playing for the same team – "Dynamo". Counter-examples – "games for Shakhtar, cited a year ago, and four years ago.
But I do not even know. Join the discussion with such opponents, and to prove it, which benefited the GMS football of Ukraine, means only to stoop to the level of actual opponents.
But one detail concerning the channels "Football", their creators did not hurt do not forget. It is the holding of EURO 2012 in Ukraine and Poland gave an opportunity to the channels Football to grow professionally in the process of working on the Euro.
Although the journalists of holding "Ukraine" has not publicly denied that Surkis was the initiator, ideologist and the "main engine" of the campaign to "plant" Euro to us, but, of course, such recognition you will not hear from Denisov and his staff. However, I am sure that in such gratitude to the Vice-President of UEFA and not needed.
Forward, to today!
Back from the historical narratives to this very detail, it laid down a very interesting puzzle to detail, which recalled the title of the poem Nekrasov "Meditation at the main entrance".
Experienced reporter "Soccer" a couple of times wedged into the dialogue colleagues from the "Pros" and likewise was not seen as a hero. Such a demonstrative, but very correct neglect.
Recent own experience, I remember the following: a few months ago, the FFU Centre for licensing invited me to chat with budding coaches in the recent past, famous players (there were now facing the players on the field), and to show them a lesson in Press Relations. Mind you, not in Public Relations (public relations), and its key component – relationship with the press. With what our football is only now beginning to show due consideration.
There was not a boring lecture, but a very lively dialogue that is very interested and the Novel Sanjar, and Alexander Babich and others. Due to the activity of listeners we're together pretty thoroughly dismantled the five psychological types of coaches in their communication with the media, as well as six psychological types of journalists. What do you need? Elementary, My Dear Watson. If you are informed, it is already armed. Going to talk to the media prepared from one of them to wait.
Don't know whether communicated before Hryhoriy Surkis with the specialists of Press Relations, or played the role of his life experience, but in those moments he clearly used one of the technologies recommended by the professionals of this direction of PR is polite, "soft" ignoring provocations.
The finale of this short scene was predictable. A seasoned reporter, and "Footballs", having understood that here to catch fish in muddy water, and departed before the end of the conversation.
Predictable and continued: neither the issue of "Football NEWS" from 16.06.2017 year at 15:40, nor any further news on the "Football 1" at 22:30 dialogue with G. Surkis with this "location shooting" was not broadcast, although channel camera does not turn off even for a moment.
All of these details reminded me of a short (under two minutes), but very revealing episode from the immortal movie "White sun of the desert", an episode with a great actor Pavel Luspekaev, who at one time worked in Kiev, in the Theater named after Lesya Ukrainka, was a close friend of another luminary of stage and screen Oleg Borisov. They are both rooting for "Dynamo" and became friends then with young Valeriy Lobanovskiy and Oleg Bazilevich.
But why to talk about it, better see for yourself this episode. Themselves and rate the similarity of the situations:

Aerodynamics and Cycling
Cycling has undergone immense changes since its early days. As science has opened our understanding of aerodynamics, it has driven changes in bicycle composition and design, the clothing worn by the cyclist, and even the positioning of the rider on the bicycle.
These three factors directly correlate to the amount of drag experienced by the cyclist. In fact, researcher L. Brownlie reported that some styles of baggy clothes cost cyclists 1.17% of their finishing time in a 100-meter race. Serious cyclists utilize this knowledge by dressing in sleek, close-fitting clothing to optimize their aerodynamics.
How much of a role do aerodynamics play? Learn the basics or read the more technical explanation.

Energy Efficient Cruise Ships HVAC Loads
The present work is a Master semester project created collaterally to the mechanical engineering major (SGM) at the Swiss federal institute of technology (EPFL). The project aim is the comprehension, assessment and optimization of an HVAC energy system which is located on a cruise ship. To approach the subject, a first analysis of the real field data from the ship is made. Then, an approximation of the energy demand of the HVAC ystem on board is carried out using Matlab. The real consumed HVAC energy is compared with the theoretical results. Based on these results, optimization options regarding the HVAC systems and their possible implementation are discussed.
Keywords: Cruise ship ; HVAC ; Energy integration

So I was just going through a scroll of Facebook while observing company profile pictures. I was doing this because I was trying to make the best one possible for my work. Here are the first twelve I came across. I have not changed the order in any way.
The profile pic, of course, is the little picture in the corner beside the name.
Aggh. We're not off to such a good start. AsapSCIENCE, I have no idea what your profile picture is supposed to be. Are those even letters. I know it's your logo, but maybe just zoom in on the "A" in your logo.
Mental Floss? Of all companies, I expected you to be socially savvy. You can't just slap your magazine cover on there and call it a profile pic.
Cheezburger, you're a little better. You're older, orange version was better because it had good contrast. On this one, the white words kind of blend in with the brown.
Relevant, you could have had me working for you. Anyway, you've got a serious case of the scrunchies. The letters are kind of pressed together, but at least you can see them. Still, look at all that black space you're not using.
Now lets look at two sponsored posts on my feed. Eventbrite, you've got it going on. There's not issues at all with this logo!
YOU on the other hand, Urban Slide, have the worst pic I've ever seen. I couldn't begin to guess your logo without the name right there. It's just kind of orange and blue.
Boom! Best profile pic I've ever seen. The purple with the logo really makes it pop. Nicely done, io9!
Know Your Meme, you're kind of in that middle ground. I can read it, but only because I have my contacts in. Also, the text might be a bit small. KYM would work better.
Nope. This one fails. I can hardly read it. Too small.
Dang, Gawker network. You've got it going on. Great job, Lifehacker!
I appreciate Applebees for not putting any text in their profile pic.
Go Braves! Your social media is better than your team. I like the surrounding circle.

EL CAJON, Calif. (AP) — Police say two men were arrested as some of the people protesting the police shooting of an unarmed black man became destructive and violent.
El Cajon police say between 50 and 75 protesters were in the streets blocking traffic on Thursday night until they used pepper-spray balls to break up the crowd.
Some protesters fought with drivers angry about the blocked road, breaking car windows and in once case knocking a man off his motorcycle.
Some threw bottles at police in riot gear.
Police say a 19-year-old man and a 28-year-old man were arrested for taking part in an unlawful assembly. Their names were not released.
It was the third night of protests over the death of Alfred Olango, who was killed on Tuesday after pulling an object from his pocket and pointing it at police.

Lindsay Lohan rings in her 30th birthday on Mykonos with rumored fiance
Lindsay Lohan turned 30 on July 2 and she marked the occasion with a huge bash on Mykonos, the glamorous, party-loving Greek island in the Aegean Sea.
At her side was her rumored fiancé, Egor Tarabasov, who got emotional when he addressed the birthday girl in a speech before their guests, calling her "the most important thing in my life" - a moment stylist Julie Tangus caught on video and shared on Instagram.
In addition to the heartfelt dedication from Egor, the festivities included some table dancing (because Greece):
At another point during the party, pals like Lindsay Lohan's "Freaky Friday" costar, Jamie Lee Curtis sent her birthday wishes via video:
"The really good news about getting older is that you're so old now, we could do a remake of 'Freaky Friday,'" Jamie says in the clip, implying Lindsay could be the mom in a revamp of the 2003 flick.
The party finally wound down, but that apparently wasn't the end of Lindsay and Egor's romantic getaway.
(LiLo's mom, Dina Lohan, reportedly missed the party due to an unknown illness that had her hospitalized last week.)
"My baby is cooking for all of us on another beautiful day filled with#LILOIS30 #loveandlight 🙏🏻 amen," she captioned a pic of Egor, standing shirtless before an outdoor kitchen setup.
Lindsay and her 22-year-old Russian businessman beau have reportedly been living together in London since shortly after she introduced him to her folks in New York over the holidays.
In April, LiLo was photographed with aq 5-carat emerald ring on her left ring finger. Though her rep initially denied she was engaged, friends have confirmed the actress' wedding plans to multiple publications.

Do You Create 3D Videos?
No, we aren't talking about that kind of 3D, where you wear glasses. Our 3D services are those animated models, and motion graphics where you create an image or scene inside three-dimensional space.
Demonstrating some products may be impossible with a camera lens alone. 3D is a perfect solution for those times when the medical devices, industrial processes, and new technologies.
• Medical Devices - Many times, medical devices have complex processes that cannot be effectively captured through a camera lens. By creating the device in 3D space, the viewer has a better understanding of the inner workings, and thus the benefits of the device.
Another perfect application for 3D is when it would cost less to create the scene in 3D, than to create the set from scratch.
Here's a little unknown fact: most car commercials today are just 3D graphics and not the actual vehicle.

Thread: The Police Misconduct Thread
mother is being praised for disciplining her son who was involved in the rioting. she used force to protect him and make sure that he wasn't participating in the mayhem. but what about all of the boys whose mothers aren't intervening? if the police had done what she did to her son, it would be publicized as police brutality. i understand that elected officials don't want to escalate hostilities, but their reluctance to administer law and order in a timely manner, despite being forewarned of the ensuing chaos, has resulted in a lot of damage being done to the city. there is a sense that law-enforcement is intentionally being restrained, as it was in ferguson, in order to minimize confrontations, but law-enforcement by its very nature has to utilize authority and force in order to maintain the peace. as one local official put it, "black lives matter, but so do black businesses and neighborhoods."
I also heard that the governor (I think that's who was being discussed) was on the ground rather than providing high-level direction. There seemed to be a number of missteps/miscalls in the situation, and essentially what started as a riot among kids at a high school and the surrounding area branched out as other people joined the riots in other places in Baltimore. While they should have been more prepared based on the lesser stuff happening over the weekend, they weren't prepared for that. So I think that was part of the problem.
Things seemed to be very different today with the national guard stationed downtown. Also, the guard is not the police, so the volatility triggers are different. having cops rough up and/or shoot the perpetrators would have likely just made things worse; the national guard is a different entity. It sounds terrible that they were called in at all, but maybe using them on Sunday (I heard they were on standby) before things got bad would have been a far better solution. But no one gave that order.
I haven't really heard much up where I am, despite my getting out of work at noon and the local mall being threatened, so I'm hoping that is a good sign that everything has mostly settled down now. According to the alert system, we are scheduled to work regular hours tomorrow.
still, after all the rioting is said and done, the problem still remains about the police misbehavior in various locales around the US, disadvantaging blacks, and how that is going to get resolved. The rioting only detracted from the problem that contributed to it."Hey Capa -- We're only stardust." ~ "Sunshine"
"Pleasure to me is wonder—the unexplored, the unexpected, the thing that is hidden and the changeless thing that lurks behind superficial mutability. To trace the remote in the immediate; the eternal in the ephemeral; the past in the present; the infinite in the finite; these are to me the springs of delight and beauty." ~ H.P. Lovecraft

Maybe we need a rioters misconduct thread.

The stronger your beliefs are, the less open you are to growth and wisdom, because "strength of belief" is only the intensity with which you resist questioning yourself. As soon as you are proud of a belief, as soon as you think it adds something to who you are, then you've made it a part of your ego."

From Rod Dreher at TAC: It's Society's Fault. It Always Is
An excerpt:
I find this, from a Washington Post profile of Gray, revealing:
"We're just hurt," said Angela Gardner, 22, who had dated Gray, though not exclusively, for the past two years. "He was so loyal, so kindhearted, so warm. Every time you saw him, you just smiled, because you knew you were going to have a good day."
Friends said Gray never held a real job and spent his days hanging out in Sandtown. Money he used to buy designer accessories from Prada, they say, came in monthly settle*ment checks from a lead-paint lawsuit against the owners of the house where he grew up.
One friend, the owner of Toak's Progressive Bail Bonds, was also Gray's bail bondsman.
"He wasn't mean-spirited. He was always respectful," the bondsman, Quintin Reid, said. "He was one of the little happy-go-lucky guys who visited his mom every day."
Court papers describe a disabled mother addicted to heroin who, in a deposition, said she couldn't read. The suit alleged that peeling paint from walls and *windowsills contained enough lead to poison the children and render them incapable of leading functional lives.
In a report filed in court, one expert said that Gray was four grade levels behind in reading but that tests did not show a disability that would keep him from holding a job. He had enough skills to work as a mason, it concluded.
A court docket notes a settlement order in 2010, but the amount is undisclosed. Attorneys on both sides declined to comment.
Court records show Gray was arrested more than a dozen times, going back to when he was 18, mostly in Gilmor Homes and mostly on charges of selling or possessing heroin or marijuana. He had a handful of convictions, and his longest stint behind bars was about two years.
He had two pending drug cases when he died. In one, he was charged with a felony, accused of selling heroin by police who said they had witnessed hand-to-hand exchanges and found drugs in a small potato chip bag hidden in a drainpipe.
"It is easier to fight the victim rather than the source of the darkness," said Jesse Jackson. Do we even have to wonder what the Rev. Jackson considers to be the sole source of the darkness?
If every Baltimore cop, in every instance of contact with a community thug, observed perfect protocol, that would do absolutely nothing to prevent the Freddie Grays from preying on their own communities. (And do not be deceived: the victims of the Freddie Grays are almost always black.) Gray was a hoodlum. Even hoodlums deserve to be treated fairly by the police, who, holding a monopoly on force in this society, must be held to the highest standards of conduct. But Baltimore's core problem is not police brutality. Baltimore's core problem is Freddie Gray, and the culture that manufactured him.
"Society" can and must reform the police. But Society can't do much of anything about the culture that generates Freddie Grays. The collapse of order within and among those inner-city communities and its members, of which fatherlessness is likely the chief effect, perpetuates the cycle. Most people know this, which is why they listen to what people like Jesse Jackson and Michael Eric Dyson say, and don't take it seriously, because they understand that these men are talking around the problem.
How do we save the Freddie Grays from themselves? No idea. It can't be done by federal programs alone (left-wing solution), and it can't be done solely by bootstrapping (right-wing solution). It really does take a village to raise a child, but what happens to that child when the village has collapsed? Again, I don't know how to begin to solve this.
But I know that scapegoating the Baltimore police — that is, blaming them for the entire social disaster that is poor black Baltimore, as distinct from holding them responsible for their allegedly brutal actions in this and other cases — is a dodge. It's easy to blame the police, because it appears that they really are blameworthy. But if you think that arranging your emotions to focus spite only on the police is sufficient to end the conditions that created that hoodlum Freddie Gray, you are lying to yourself.
You know I like Rod. A lot.
I had this opinion a few years ago too. He's right that people should be recognized as moral agents. That they should feel empowered to make those changes and should not seek to always be viewed as victims.
But, Rod Dreher is not in a position where his opinion is given any weight by the people that need this message. Nobody that needs to hear this message reads Dreher's articles.
White people read Rod Dreher.
So he should tailor his message to what white people need to hear. White people do not need to be told about moral responsibility (well at least when it comes to basic street crimes). This message only serves to make Whites think there is nothing they can do and all of this is purely the fault of black people.
"Society" can and must reform the police. But Society can't do much of anything about the culture that generates Freddie Grays. The collapse of order within and among those inner-city communities and its members, of which fatherlessness is likely the chief effect, perpetuates the cycle. Most people know this, which is why they listen to what people like Jesse Jackson and Michael Eric Dyson say, and don't take it seriously, because they understand that these men are talking around the problem.
Criminal justice reform:
1. Reduce the levels of offense for petty non-violent drug crimes.
2. Get rid of 3 strike laws.
3. Allow people already convicted of non-violent felonies to get their felonies expunged from the record.
Police Reform:
1. End Police Bill of Rights.
2. Create systems where outside departments perform investigations into Police violence.
3. Make Cops personally liable for damages and make them hold Mal-practice insurance.
4. Get rid of police unions.
5 Set hiring practices in place so that the Cops actually look like the communities they police.
Other governmental reforms:
1. Create tax-free zones that will draw investment into poor neighborhoods.
2. Crack down on slum lords.
3. Provide some grants for investment in older homes.
4. Outlaw usury and get rid of pay advances.
5. Charter schools and vouchers
1. Create relationships and partnerships with organizations that are already in poor neighborhoods.
2. If new organizations are formed by outside groups then the goal should be to transfer leadership to people within the community that our of the predominant race in that community.
3. Fund successful organizations that are already in the inner-city
4. Find ways to interact with and befriend people with different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds.
5. Find ways to seek out and put into power black people in white non-profits, churches and businesses.
That last one is an important one that I learned when listening to black Christian discussion on Ferguson. It's one thing to be like Colbert and have a black friend. It's another to be answerable and accountable to someone of a minority race. White people need Black pastors that will challenge them.
These are things that just popped into my head so you can see why I'm simply aghast at the idea that Mr. Dreher could not come up with any ideas about what society can do.
Maybe with more exposure to these issues Mr. Dreher will change his mind. He's not a daft man by any means.Take the weakest thing in you
And then beat the bastards with it
And always hold on when you get love
So you can let go when you give it
Early this morning Rod wrote a more thoughtful follow-up piece. I still think he's ignoring a lot of things that can be done to help fix these problems and not fully recognizing the oppression of black people. I do appreciate his addressing the big white ghetto in Appalachia. These are complex issues with lots of different things at work, but I feel like he's just throwing up his hands.

Have you ever had someone in your life just NOT like you?
Have you then gone on a full-fledged charm offensive in the hopes of changing his or her mind about you?
I sure have. And I can tell you that trying to make someone like you is both mentally and physically exhausting while being an exercise in futility.
Does that sound harsh? I don't mean for it to, but I do want to spare you the agony of putting everything into making someone love you when you actually don't even have control over changing his or her mind. After all, it is his or her mind. If you aren't a bad, unkind, careless, callous person, chances are slim that you actually did something to provoke the dislike. Sometimes, what we bring up in other people is just something that is hard for them—without OUR necessarily being the problem. Sometimes, we remind them of someone else or something else or just are meeting them at a time when who we are, how we are, or where we are in our own life isn't a fit for them. This isn't a judgment of us and it is not a judgment of them. It's just real that sometimes not everyone is going to like us, they don't have to, and it isn't really any of our business what someone else thinks of us.
But it's about me, you insist, so, of course, it's my business.
Yeah, it is just not. It's really not. It is about that person and what is going on for them, what informs his or her decisions, what they need or are seeking or are avoiding right now.
And when we decide to care passionately about what other people think, we lose perspective about what we think. And, ultimately, we're the only person walking with us to the end of our days. We cannot afford to lose our own perspective in search of how to alter someone else's.
Years ago, someone came into my life who I really wanted to like me. And that person did not like me. So noticeably didn't like me that my friends commented about it. The chill was apparent. I just wasn't her person. But, by golly, I wanted to be her person. And so I tried. And tried. And tried some more. And the only thing I succeeded in doing was exhausting myself and even more resolutely making her not like me.
One day, I had this big aha moment that I couldn't make her like me because there wasn't something concretely that I needed to amend. It was the essence of me that was wrong for her. And so I quit trying and it was revolutionary- for me.
I know what you are thinking. You are thinking that as soon as I quit trying, we became friends. Nope. That's not the case here. There is no neat and tidy final package to this one. As far as I know, this person still really doesn't like me. But, here's the deal, though I see her on and off in my life, I am totally at peace about it. I don't need her to like me. I don't need to know why she doesn't like me. It's a non-issue. We can behave when we're in shared space and I leave that space and I don't even think about it again. It's not a thing because I have realized that I have no business making it a thing because it is really none of my business.
So, today, I want you to think about the person or people in your life who it feels like doesn't/don't like you and who you have been putting energy into changing their mind and I want you to give both them and you grace.
Imagine that person's face. In your mind, send him or her out a gentle thought—something along of the lines of, "I am letting go of my desire to force our relationship and releasing both you and me from that pressure." And then, do it, release yourself from the pressure and really embrace the idea that if you let what you think other people think go, you are actually making bountiful room for what you think.

Last year we lost two of their peers in the pantheon of bebop percussion, Kenny Clarke and Philly Joe Jones. And now only Max Roach, Art Blakey and Roy Haynes remain--each a unique master in a music that demands all a drummer can give.
Roach, who is at the Jazz Showcase with his fine quartet, has changed and deepened his style over the years. Accompanying Charlie Parker in the late 1940s, Roach sounded as though he were kicking a suitcase down a flight of stairs--and doing so quite gloriously one might add.

The Story Capote Didn't Want Us to Buy
The last post mentioned a new development related to Truman Capote's 1966 best seller, In Cold Blood.
A report surfaced a few years ago that at the same time Capote was researching his book, another writer was working on a telling from a different perspective.
Dark horse. Capote's version of a quadruple slaying that took place in Holcomb, Kansas, in 1959, relied heavily on interviews with one of the two killers: Perry Smith, whom Capote portrayed as a sensitive drifter marred by abuse and hardship.
The other writer, an uncelebrated newspaperman named Mack Nations, was helping to edit an account called High Road to Hell penned by Smith's partner in crime: Richard Hickock, a tall Kansan whom Capote portrayed as a personable but remorseless conman, killer, and would-be rapist.
Media coverage about the existence of High Road to Hell dates back to 2009. What's new is that the son of the late Wichita Eagle reporter is spearheading a campaign to draw attention to it.
Michael Nations, who works as a probation officer, has posted a seven-part video series on YouTube to present some facts about his father's work.
Smeared. The video series, titled Footprints Found Inside 'In Cold Blood,' is a simple effort, just the younger Nations talking to a video camera in front of his garage and later in an easy chair inside his house.
"Many negative and demeaning things were written and published about my father years after his death on December 24, 1968," Michael Nations says on camera. "I believe it only fitting that what I have presented on his behalf as both a reporter and writer will be credited to him."
I watched all seven parts. While not absorbing, the series hits a few high notes, particularly in outlining Capote's attempts to undermine the competing manuscript.
A list of the interesting points from the video series will follow, but first a bit about Smith and Hickock's crime and In Cold Blood for readers unfamiliar with the events:
Safe house. On November 15, 1959, Richard Hickock, 28, and Perry Smith, 31, slipped through an unlocked door into Herb and Bonnie Clutter's house and cut the phone lines.
The ex-cons thought that the Clutters, who owned River Valley Farm in Holcomb, Kansas, had a safe containing $10,000 in cash in their house.
Back in 1959, that seemed like the score of a lifetime, or at least enough to finance a jobless existence for a few years.
Hickock acquired his belief about a money-filled metal box when he shared a jail cell with Floyd Wells, a onetime employee of River Valley Farm.
Wells had been inside the Clutters' house and described its layout in detail to Hickock.
Terrified family. Although Wells got the floor plan correct, he was wrong about the safe. It didn't exist and, in fact, friends of Herb Clutter later recalled his using checks to pay for nearly everything, even a purchase of $1.50, according to In Cold Blood.
Unfortunately, Hickock had no doubts about a safe. He recruited Smith, another prison friend, for a robbery plan.
After sneaking into the Clutters' house, the two woke up the family members by shining flashlights in their faces.
They tied up the couple and their two youngest children, Nancy and Kenyon. (The Clutters' adult daughters, Eveanna and Beverly, didn't live at home.)
Sex criminal. Hickock, who had a history of targeting underaged girls, admitted that he knew from Floyd Wells' account that Nancy would be a teenager by then.
He allegedly acknowledged that he intended to rape Nancy, 16, but that Smith had stopped him.
After Hickock and Smith found no safe in the location Wells had specified, they searched throughout the five-bedroom three-bathroom house. Herb Clutter assured them there was no safe.
No church that day. They gave up and stole what little cash family members had in the house, less than $50, plus 15-year-old Kenyon's transistor radio. They executed each of the Clutters with a gunshot to the head at close range.
Smith and Hickock then fled Holcomb, eventually hiding out in Mexico.
Meanwhile, two of Nancy's friends entered the house and discovered the bodies; they were planning to go to church with the Clutters and were concerned when no one answered the door.
News of the murders shocked and terrified Holcomb. All the Clutters, but especially Herb and Nancy, were popular in the community.
On the day before she died, Nancy taught a little girl how to make a cherry pie and helped another local girl with a violin solo.
Herb oversaw construction of the First Methodist Church in Garden City, served on the Federal Farm Credit Board, and was the first president of the National Wheat Growers Association.
Chance encounter. Although their murders weren't huge news on a national level, the Clutters were affluent enough to merit a mention in the New York Times.
If not for Truman Capote's coming across the item by chance, few people outside of Western Kansas would know about the Clutters or Smith or Hickock today.
Capote, a glamorous, already successful 5-foot-3-inch-tall novelist, called up William Shawn, editor of The New Yorker, and announced he was heading to Kansas to start working on a story about the crime.
Complex character. For Capote, it turned into a six-year odyssey that included forging a close relationship with lead Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective Alvin Dewey and his well-read wife, Marie, followed by an intimate friendship formed with Perry Smith and some acquaintanceship with Hickock.
The 2004 movie Capote with Philip Seymor Hoffman portrays the writer as a compassionate advocate for Perry Smith on one hand, and on the other, an inveigler impatient for Smith and Hickock's executions to happen so he could finally slap an ending on In Cold Blood and get it published.
Capote began serializing the story in The New Yorker in 1965, and the book came out in January 1966 to great acclaim. It was translated into 30 languages.
Cut to the video. But back to Michael Nations and his 2017 video series: He asserts that High Road to Hell was suppressed and his father wrongly treated.
Who wanted to thwart Hickock and Nation's effort? First, there was Capote, of course. He'd invested too much of his time in researching the story to let some enterprising local get in his way.
Also, according to Nations, the Kansas prison and law-enforcement officers who worked with Capote wanted Capote's story to be the definitive account of their work. Capote portrayed Alvin Dewey as the hard-charging yet humble hero of the investigation and prosecution of the two killers.
A 2017 Wall Street Journal story by Kevin Helliker reports that Dewey let Capote know about the existence of the Hickock script, and it was only then that Capote began visiting death row to interview Smith and Hickock.
Subtle bribery? Michael Nations reads from a letter to Dewey in which Capote calls Nations' work "preposterous."
In the same letter, Capote mentions that the Deweys will be welcome to use a Colorado vacation home he plans to buy.
Capote also allegedly refers to Nations as a "bastard reporter" and an income tax cheater and suggests that his own work will offer the Deweys immortality.
Also during the video series, Nations holds up an ancient dog-eared paperback copy of In Cold Blood and says that each crease represents a fact contradicted by letters Hickock wrote to Mack Nations in 1961.
Callous criminal. Nations is probably right about at least some mistakes within In Cold Blood. Other researchers throughout the years have written about errors and possible fabrications in Capote's work.
While Nations contends In Cold Blood contained falsehoods regarding Hickock's story, he doesn't dispute Capote's portrayal of Hickock as amoral and heartless.
Hickock said in his letters to Nations that he considered people dying to be no big deal ("there are plenty of people to take their place"), he felt cheated that he didn't get to shoot the Clutters (Smith did that himself, with Hickock's complicity), and he liked the media coverage and felt proud of his unique criminal achievement.
Among Michael Nations' other statements, assertions, and opinions presented in the video series:
- Mack Nations sold an article about his work on the case to a magazine called Male in 1961.
- There still exist 200 letters Hickock wrote to Mack Nations. The Kansas Historical Society in Topeka has them now.
- Capote never liked Richard Hickock because the ex-con gave interviews to Mack Nations before speaking with Capote.
- At some point, authorities banned all reporters except for Capote from interviewing the killers.
- Michael wrote his own, unpublished exposé, In My Father's Shoes, in which he transcribed Hickock's letters to Mack Nations. He asserts that Capote stole some of the content from the letters.
- Floyd Wells told Hickock he saw a safe in the Clutters' home and witnessed Herb Clutter retrieving cash from it to pay workers. But at the trial, Wells testified only that he "thought" there was a safe.
False revelation. While those contentions sound believable, Michael Nations' biggest bombshell is hard to swallow: that Hickock and Smith committed the Clutter robbery on a contract basis for a man named Roberts and they either received or expected to receive $1,000 or more from Roberts in return for their efforts.
Hickock may have told this particular tale to Mack Nations, but that doesn't make it believable.
As the Wall Street Journal article by Kevin Helliker argues:
"The reasons to discount Hickock's claim go beyond his lack of credibility as a pathological liar. If he and Smith were paid to kill the Clutters, why didn't they use that information to try negotiating their way off death row? Why were they dirt poor before and after the crime?"
(If you have a WSJ digital subscription, you can view Helliker's full wsj.com piece, which includes more photos than the version on msn.com.)
Widening market. After viewing Michael Nations' video series, I'm still confused as to whether or not he possesses a copy of his father and Hickock's High Road to Hell manuscript. He mentions that his dad sent a copy to Kansas investigators at their request but never got it back.
Capote may have very well pressed authorities to suppress Nations' account.
He probably didn't need to, though.
The public fascination was and is strong enough that a competing book would likely have only stoked greater interest in the Clutter case — and ultimately led critics to conclude that Capote's book was the greater literary achievement.
That's all for this post. Until next week, cheers. — RR

May 11: The Asom Gana Parishad (AGP) today blamed the second split in the party as well as weakness at the grassroots level for its downfall in the elections.
AGP general secretary Hitendranath Goswami, who lost the Jorhat seat for the first time since 1985, said, The partys grassroots level became weak and unorganised following the split.
The split occurred after former chief minister and AGPs founder president Prafulla Kumar Mahanta formed the Asom Gana Parishad (Progressive) last year, after he was expelled from the former for anti-party activities.
AGP spokesperson Apurba Kumar Bhattacharyya, who described the results as unexpected, also blamed the division in the party for the situation and said it had to be pay for the sins of the past.
We are yet to come out of the shadows of Prafulla Mahanta regime, he further said, referring to the plethora of scams and scandals during the second AGP government in 1996-2001.
Another senior AGP leader said the poll results would put party president Brindaban Goswami under pressure, as he failed to lead the party to power.
He led us to nowhere, the leader lamented.

I eat with the family tho, cause my Old Earth know how to cook.
Its all about family right?
Man, thanks for that. Its sickening the amount of times the White man has freaked and butchered natives, its the brutal race..
This reminds me of another celebration of mass murder that the general population THINKS is celebrating something good. In Spain they have something just as big as thanksgiving to celebrate when the Moors were defeated.
Will you bring some information on that event?
If you dig it up i'll read it.
Peace Decipha
Very good thread...that's a hell of a dose of reality for those who get swept up in the lie of American holidays.
I can't even relate to my family on holidays. They be so into that bullshit. I just stay away. It's sad, but true
I Never Liked Thanksgiving Cuz Of It Being Bullshit I Remember I Got Suspended From School Cuz I Was Like America Honors A Dinners With The Natives But Never
Talks About How They Rape Them For There Land Right After Thats Like A Judge Telling A Date Rape Victim To Only Remember The Great Time And Meal They Had Early
They Did Not Like When I Said That But Being White They Don't Like The Truth Alot
But I Do Eat With My Fam And Thank God For Havinh Them But Fuck The Reason Most

Driving Traffic and Sales with Video Search
With consumers heading to the internet before ever stepping foot in your dealership, how are you utilizing the new capabilities of Video Search?
Hi Autumn, great question! We all know it's only time before video becomes a very regular part of everyone's lives. Skype, Facetime and in the very near future Google Glass. The big question is how will it help us dealers make money? I have personally tried many different ways of using video to convert leads, merchandise vehicles, promote the dealership and SEO (which I think you are referring to here in your question.) We all know how important content is in any sense of digital marketing. Video being the most rich format of content you can't go wrong. We are currently doing a video walk around on all our new and used merchandise. Google LOVES it. As long as the videos are not "sales" oriented.. The video needs to be a "learning session" and not a sales pitch to get the engagement you would be looking for. Ive also used video to follow up on iLeads and didn't see the conversion rates I was looking for. I chalked it up to the fact that people are too early in the sales funnel to get a video response. Spam barriers when sending video links through email is an issue as well...Our conversion rates were better with basic email responses. What have you tried? Anything working well?
Hi Grant Gooley, Sounds like you are on the right track! Our biggest successes have been the traffic to the dealership website for more information....which usually leads to the person coming down for a test drive. So, this really comes down to tracking the lead back to the source. Do you have or are you using phone tracking or asking people how they heard of you? And one of the biggest questions now....is your website mobile responsive for those using their Droid, iPhone, or tablet to do this research? Ever tried to go to a website on your smart phone that you had to play the "pinchy finger" game? So annoying! In fact, I usually just abandon whatever I was doing if this happens. And you'll see the same in your analytics.
On the work sheets there is a section that asks "Where did you hear about us?" It doesn't seem to get filled out all that often. Phone tracking yes, YouTube forsure has some success but definitely not the top referrer. I work with a large group of dealers, some responsive sites some are not. The ones that aren't are in the process! So important!
Posting a video about your services or any topic relevant to your business is one of the best ways to promote your business and bring visits and traffic to your website. Uploading a video with good content and good quality on sites like youtube, metacafe, slideshare, etc is used by most search engine optimizers.

The Next Stage in Lean Manufacturing
An area in which real-time locating systems can significantly enhance a manufacture's flexibility is in a manual kanban-based parts replenishment operation – when production workers place cards in a certain location to signal forklift drivers to deliver new materials. With this manual material replenishment process, a plant's ability to maintain a synchronous flow of material can be challenged.
Zebra Enterprise Solutions helps manufacturers address this challenge with Material Flow. Designed to support and automate existing lean manufacturing processes, the Material Flow solution streamlines the entire replenishment process - across multiple facilities or within a single location. Material Flow provides an integrated wireless infrastructure to handle material request signals, enabling every member of your supply chain access to actionable, real-time data from the factory floor to internal and external supply.
As part of Zebra Enterprise Solutions real time locating solutions for enterprise assets, the Material Flow Suite combines barcode, passive & active RFID, and software to optimize operational performance in one material flow management solution. Built on modern open standards, the Material Flow management solution easily integrates with AIDC technologies, and ERP software solutions without the added costs of multiple third party solutions.
Comprised of three core modules, the Material Flow Solution integrates: replenishment, asset workflow and equipment management to help you deploy the proper amount of labor, equipment and other resources at your fingertips.
Material Flow Replenishment
The Material Flow Replenishment module is a comprehensive enterprise execution management solution that streamlines the entire replenishment process, providing manufacturing operations with the ability to centrally manage and control supplier collaboration, internal supply, facility-wide communication, and timeliness.
Material Flow Asset Workflow
The Material Flow Asset Workflow module puts you in control of your assets by providing real-time location-based data that allows you to physically track the location and status of your most important assets.

In tonight's art journal session, we're going to look at using large scale layouts. Though we will be working in our normal journals (mine is A4 spread), we'll be using 12×12″ stencils and very large stamps to build our layers, only adding detail towards the end. This exercise is designed to encourage the breaking down of large patterns into manageable chunks… a lesson for life too!

Altered Art: Create in 3D
As a follow up art piece to my 'Dream', I thought I would add another 3D word to my studio – this time, Create. The letters are again paper mâché, all undercoated with two layers of gesso and then decorated. I wanted this assemblage to reflect all the creative pursuits that take place in various forms in The Studio, both by me and my studio guests. Sculpture didn't quite make it, but then I can always say the whole thing is sculpture 😉
Art Journal Pages: Pockets, Flips and Flaps
It's been a little while since I posted anything art journal related, what with one thing and another. One thing being completing the Creative Chemistry 103 course – definitely worth the investment. Another being design and installation of a new sand filter for the studio so that I don't have to empty a stinking waster container prompted only by the stink as it overflows. It's a simple enough idea – grey water goes into a tank of sand and gravel, filters out the large particulates and then drains out to my irrigation sump ready for watering the garden. No more overflows!
Another another was the creation of a water feature which is just outside the studio. I'd gone to look at the self-contained fountains/water features at our local garden centre, and somewhat astounded by the price tags was asked 'surely you can do something yourself?'. So with a bit of thought, a quick shopping trip on Amazon, a tube of mastic, and some terracotta pots, a plan came together. Throw in a watering can previously belonging to my grandfather and a personal, upcycled, repurposed water feature now trickles away in counterpoint to the gushing waterfall that has just been installed in a neighbour's garden.
But, back to the point! It was raining today, so I got to work in my art journal with the intention of putting together the next art journal session samples ready for September. The theme is 'pockets, flips and flaps'…
Art Journal Page: Not As Obvious As You'd Think [Pick-A-Stick Challenge]
I'm having a go at catching up with some of my art journal online challenges and classes I've been neglecting for a few weeks (actually probably months). I've caught up with the Wanderlust One Collage Challenge, but part of the deal with that is that I can't show you it until the last stage at the end of the year. But I have been taking pictures of each stage, so it'll be worth waiting for!
Then I moved onto May's Pick A Stick Challenge – ten prompts drawn at random and completed in order. I pulled out the very first journal I started way back in 2011 and found a background to work on – oh how my art journaling has developed! Continue reading
Art Journal Pages: Testing A Potential Journal
So you have grand plans to start art journaling, and you're wondering what your first step should be? It's important to find a journal that will take all that you throw at it. It has to be able to take wet media without the pages getting flimsy or buckling. It has to be able to lie flat so that you can work in it. You don't want pages easily detaching, nor a wire-o spine stopping you getting to the middle of the spread. Pages shouldn't be too absorbent, or too smooth – or be able to take a layer of gesso if they are. Hardback or soft cover – well that's down to personal preference. Here's a couple of pages I've done this afternoon whilst testing a new journal. Above – Dylusions Paints. Below – Distress Sprays/Inks and pigment inks.
Art Journaling Page: Art for art's sake
I was watching a film last night, and notice for the first time the motto above the roaring lion on the MGM titles: 'ars gratia artis' – art for art's sake. What more apt saying could there be for an art journal page? This is part two of my bleeding tissue layouts – I stuck down the dried used up tissue strips using matte multi-medium over an acrylic paint background. I added more strips of Tim Holtz tissue wrap and tissue tape as well as some washi tape from Ikea. Finally, the text was printed using colour laser printer onto imitation rice paper to keep the tissue paper theme. The laser print has the benefit of not moving when using wet mediums over the top, unlike inkjet printed equivalents.

Kerisiano Kalolo
Aliki Kerisiano Kalolo,[1] also commonly referred to as Keli Hiano Kalolo,[2] is a Tokelauan politician who served as the Head of the Government of Tokelau, or Ulu, from February (or March?) 2012 to February (or March?) 2013. He is a member of the Council for the Ongoing Government of Tokelau, serving as Minister for Foreign Affairs, Education, Economic Development, Natural Resources and the Environment, prior to and then simultaneously to his leadership of the government. The office of Ulu rotates on an annual basis between the faipule of each of the country's three atolls; Kalolo, as faipule of Atafu, took office as Ulu for the first time in 2012.[3][4][5]
As Ulu, he oversaw the replacement of Tokelau's old ship, the MV Tokelau, which was considered no longer to be safe and seaworthy, with the newer, custom-built PB Matua, provided by New Zealand.[3][6] In June 2012, Kalolo sacked his Minister for Transport, Foua Toloa, over the latter's insistence that the MV Tokelau was still seaworthy, and New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully's indication that the New Zealand government could not work with Toloa. Toloa's portfolios (Finance, Telecommunications, Energy and Transport) were taken over by the Ulu.[6][7]
Kalolo also oversaw the small country's transition from diesel-powered energy to solar energy, implemented by a New Zealand company.[2]
In September 2012, he was appointed Chancellor of the regional University of the South Pacific.[1] Prior to becoming Ulu, he had served as the University's co-ordinator in Tokelau.[5]
His term as Ulu ends or ended in March 2013; his successor is Salesio Lui, the faipule of Nukunonu.[8]
