While engineers and designers feverishly worked overtime on the development of a four-passenger sports car they code-named the F-car, the Chevy public relations, marketing and advertising group prepared the world for the introduction of an automobile they called the Panther.
All through the summer season of 1965 practically every aspect of the car's design and development, from preliminary design sketches to clay models, was photographed and carefully recorded. Chevy used the possessions to produce a 30 -minute movie The Camaro for sale in Felton DE , which was later shown on TV and in cinema. They also introduced ladies's clothes called the Camaro Collection as well as a Camaro road race game.
Chevy Camaros For Sale
In November, Chevy sales executives and creative individuals previewed prototype designs at the GM Tech Center. Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's age-old ad agency, right away began work on catalogs, direct-mail advertising and sales promo materials, together with print, outside and TV/radio advertising. In April 1966, at the New york city Auto Show Interview, Chevrolet sales executives admitted no name had been picked for the brand-new automobile, however did announce that pricing of 1967 Chevy Camaro for sale in Felton DE design will be in the Corvair-Chevy II range.
Throughout early 1966 Chevy agonized over a name for its Mustang-killer. GM's upper management fidgeted about the aggressive undertones of the Panther name. A comparable bout of cold feet would later trigger the Pontiac version, code named the Banshee, to be renamed Firebird. Over its brief lifetime, the F-car had actually been called by numerous names consisting of Wildcat, Chaparral, Commander and Nova. It's likewise reported that Chevy considered using the letters "GM" in the name, and came up with G-Mini, which progressed into GeMini and lastly Gemini. Nevertheless, GM's upper management vetoed the concept, fearing the vehicle might be a failure.
Automotive legend has it that somebody at Chevrolet lastly proposed the name Camaro and upper management rapidly agreed. Although the name has no real meaning, GM scientists supposedly found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "buddy" or "companion." It's rumored that Ford Motor Business scientists also discovered other definitions, consisting of "a shrimp-like animal" and an arcane term for "loose bowels."
Due to the fact that a number or pre-launch products had currently been launched using the Panther name, Chevy's many pushing challenge was to now rename their brand-new Mustang killer, the Camaro. Camaros are found in Felton DE by looking for classic car dealers.
Finally, on June 28, 1966, General Motors held a live press conference in Detroit's Statler-Hilton Hotel. It was the very first time in history that 14 cities were hooked up in real time for a press conference via telephone lines. Elliot M. "Pete" Estes, who replaced "Bunkie" Knudsen as Chevrolet General Manager in July 1965, began the press conference by proclaiming all individuals were now charter members of the Society for the Elimination of Panthers from the Automotive World (SEPAW.) Estes with confidence announced that Camaro was picked as the name for Chevy's brand-new four-passenger sports car to honor the tradition of starting Chevy design names with the letter C such as the Corvette, Corvair, Chevelle, and Chevy II.

Former JPMorgan Chase & Co. trader Javier Martin-Artajo was released from police custody after telling a Madrid court he opposed attempts by U.S. prosecutors to extradite him on charges he hid trading losses that cost the bank $6.2 billion.
The former trader turned himself in yesterday morning after being contacted by investigators, a Spanish police official said. He was released after a hearing in Madrid yesterday in which he said he was unwilling to be extradited, according to a spokeswoman for the National Court.
The U.S. this month charged Martin-Artajo, a Spanish citizen, and Julien Grout, a French citizen, with trying to hide the losses stemming from trades by Bruno Iksil, the Frenchman at the center of the case who became known as the London Whale. Grout and Martin-Artajo face up to 20 years in jail if convicted of the most serious counts, including conspiracy and wire fraud.
"The likelihood is fairly significant that he would go back," said Ivan Mercado, managing partner at Mercado & Rengel, a law firm in Spain that works on U.S. extradition cases. "Spain and the U.S. have an extradition agreement. He can't just say he doesn't want to go."
Bank's Negotiations
JPMorgan's losses prompted investigations on two continents, U.S. congressional hearings and an internal review that led to a 50 percent pay cut for Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon, who the board said bore some responsibility for lapses. Regulators in the U.K. and U.S. are preparing to impose fines on the bank as soon as mid-September, a person with direct knowledge of the matter said last week.
The bank is in talks with various authorities to settle its part of the case for about $500 million to $600 million combined, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing unidentified people close to the situation. Not all agencies have agreed to numbers and the total may end up outside that range, it said.
Martin-Artajo, 49, oversaw trading strategy for Iksil's synthetic portfolio at JPMorgan's chief investment office in London, while Grout was a trader who worked for him.
"The arrested person is presumed responsible for manipulating and inflating the value of positions in the synthetic credit portfolio of his firm with the aim of achieving specific objectives of daily losses and gains," Spanish police said in a statement.
'Fair Reconstruction'
Martin-Artajo's lawyer, Lista Cannon, didn't respond to a call seeking comment on his client yesterday. He "is confident that when a complete and fair reconstruction of these complex events is completed, he will be cleared of any wrongdoing," a spokeswoman for his law firm said earlier this month. Jennifer Zuccarelli, a spokeswoman for JPMorgan, declined to comment.
At a hearing yesterday, Martin-Artajo's lawyer filed documents in which his client denied the allegations, according to a court official who asked not to be identified because they weren't authorized to speak publicly. The U.S. now has 40 days to file sworn statements in support of its extradition request.
Martin-Artajo will then be able to contest those arguments at a further hearing before a judge decides whether to grant the request, said Mercado, who isn't involved in the case. The process can take up to several months, he added.
'Very Difficult'
"When there is a bilateral agreement between two countries on certain crimes, it's very difficult for a country to refuse extradition because the accord implies the crime is viewed comparably," Carlos Vazquez, a criminal lawyer and partner at Vazquez & Vazquez in Madrid, said by telephone.
The spokeswoman for the court said Martin-Artajo's passport has been confiscated. Another court official said that wasn't the case, but that he can't leave Spain without court approval.
Grout is living in France and isn't a fugitive, his lawyer, Edward Little, a partner at Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP in New York, said in an Aug. 12 interview, two days before his client was charged.
"He visited the U.S. last month with confidence he was not being indicted and moved to France to save money and look for a job," Little said at the time. France has no obligation under its extradition treaty with the U.S. to send Grout to New York. Little declined to comment yesterday.
Martin-Artajo and Grout are charged with conspiring to falsify securities filings from March to May of 2012. The U.S. sought to keep the charges secret while arrests were attempted before unsealing them on Aug. 14. Jennifer Queliz, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, declined to comment.

A Christian apologetics ministry dedicated to demonstrating the historical reliability of the Bible through archaeological and biblical research.
In Genesis 6:1–8 we read about some persons who may be a pre-Flood link between the Bible and the cultures of the ancient Near East. They are the "sons of the gods." The biblical reference to them should have some relationship with historical fact. If so, we should be able to lift these early chapters of Genesis out of what may be to some a foggy mysticism, and make connections with extra-biblical historical accounts.
The Biblical account of the great flood of Noah's day opens with an enigmatic passage, Genesis 6: 1-4. The record of Noah, it seems, could easily have omitted them, going directly from the end of chapter five to 6: 5 without losing any essential information pertaining to the flood. The flow of the Genesis narrative seems to be interrupted by these verses...
"There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown" (Gen. 6:4, KJV).
With this verse in Genesis the Bible introduces to us the existence of giants...

Green Bay
- Calls and emails to a gambling helpline in Wisconsin went up seven percent in 2012. The Wisconsin Council on Problem Gambling says a challenging economy is one reason for the increase. The council's annual report shows hotline operators handled about 14,500 calls and emails in 2012.That's up about 1,000 from the year before. Council executive director Rose Gruber says gamblers who lose their job or have other financial difficulties hope a big win will fix their problems. Callers reported an average of nearly 40-thousand dollars in gambling debt last year. (Copyright 2013 Associated Press - All Rights Reserved)

Mayor Don Wesely today presented the Mayor's Award of Excellence for 2002 to Richard Slama and Ron Eriksen, Jr. of the Lincoln-Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD). The award recognizes City employees who consistently provide exemplary service and work that demonstrates personal commitment to the City. Russell Murray of the Wastewater Division of the Public Works and Utilities Department was the Honorable Mention winner.
Slama and Eriksen won the monthly award for January 2002, and each has already received a $100 U.S. savings bond, a day off with pay and a plaque. All monthly winners are eligible to receive the annual award, which comes with a $500 U.S. savings bond (Slama and Eriksen will each receive a $250 bond), two days off with pay and a plaque.
Following September 11, the threat of anthrax became a concern across the nation and locally. Eriksen and Slama were the two LLCHD emergency responders who worked with the Lincoln Police and Fire Departments to respond to calls about suspicious packages, letters, and unusual powders at businesses and homes.
As the core staff of the Public Health Hazardous Materials Emergency Response Team of the LLCHD, Eriksen and Slama respond to all kinds of environmental health emergency calls, including hazardous materials spills, mercury spills, traffic accidents with fluid spills, reports of illegal dumping of special and hazardous waste, and outdoor air quality problems. They also provide law enforcement officials with hazardous chemical monitoring, handling, evidence storage and disposal assistance for methamphetamine labs. LLCHD's help on meth labs has saved law enforcement agencies at least $40,000 in handling and disposal costs.
The Public Health Emergency Response Team usually handles about 25 calls a month. During October and November of 2001, the team responded to125 emergency calls, and Eriksen and Slama handled 107 of them. This emergency response is just one part of their job duties. They are the key staff of the Special Waste Program and work with about 1,000 businesses and government agencies. They provide pollution prevention assistance, review waste inventories, issue permits, investigate complaints, and assure compliance with local regulations to keep the City's landfills free of hazardous waste. Eriksen has also worked with area high schools to eliminate many hazardous chemicals stored in their science labs.
During the 2001-2002 fiscal year, Eriksen and Slama responded to 270 of the 450 public health emergency situations, including 123 anthrax calls, 66 meth labs, 98 cases of illegal dumping of special or hazardous waste and 21 accidental chemical releases.
"Richard and Ron are on call every day of the week and receive no on-call or overtime pay," said Scott Holmes, Chief of the Environmental Health Division for LLCHD who nominated the pair in the categories of productivity and customer relations. "Hazardous materials emergency calls come in at every hour of the night and day and have no respect for City holidays. They work tirelessly for the people of Lincoln and Lancaster County, and they do it with professionalism, carried by their passion for protecting people's health and our environment."
All City employees are eligible for the Mayor's Award of Excellence except for elected officials and some managers. In addition to productivity and customer relations, employees can be nominated in the categories of valor, safety and loss prevention. Individuals or teams can be nominated by supervisors, peers, subordinates and the general public.
Nomination forms are available from department heads, employee bulletin boards or the Personnel Department, which oversees the awards program. All nominations are reviewed by the Mayor's Award of Excellence Committee, which includes a representative with each union and a non-union representative appointed by the Mayor.

Growing up in Edison, New Jersey, Mike Carlowicz wanted to
be an "-ologist." First he wanted to be an archaeologist, then a meteorologist,
chemical engineer, and astronomer. Eventually he settled on biologist. At age 18,
he told a local reporter (in a story about being the youngest
American Legion baseball coach in the state) that he hoped "to find a cure for
something." The only thing he has ever cured is boredom, as he rarely stays
with one topic or in one place long enough to wear it out.
While floundering in chemistry class at Georgetown University, he decided that he was not cut out for the detail-driven work of a scientist. He switched to an English major, though he really majored in his college newspaper, The Hoya. He completely overlooked the fact that writers are as rigorous and detail-driven about words as scientists are about data.
Two years into a journalism career at The Discovery Channel, he served as ship's naturalist among a group of city-slicker editors sailing on the Chesapeake Bay. While observing once-threatened ospreys nesting on channel markers and watching engineers at war with rising seas around Tangier Island, Virginia, Mike rediscovered his love of science. He soon applied to The Johns Hopkins University to study science writing, stunned that anyone would offer such a degree and curious why anyone would pay him to be a lifelong student.
So far, he has convinced scientists and experts in several fields--geophysics (Eos/American Geophysical Union), medicine (Clinical Laboratory News),
physics (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center), and oceanography—into
letting him write about their work. He has written three books springing
out of his NASA experience—Storms from the Sun
(Joseph Henry Press, 2002), The Sun (H.N. Abrams Books, June 2006), and The Moon (H.N. Abrams Books, June 2007). His next book adventure will rise out of the ocean or the ice.

In The Secret Life of Words Henry Hitchings observes that only about 5% of the ninety thousand words added to the English vocabulary in the twentieth century were foreign imports. This is "the smallest volume of borrowings in any century since the Norman Conquest." (p. 306)
On a later page (p. 325) Hitchings seems to hint at a reason for the loss of word imports. He quotes this passage from Tony Thorne's Shoot the Puppy:
One reason why fewer foreign terms make it into English in the twenty-first century may be that these days a different sort of person is coining new language. A hundred years ago it was poets, ambassadors and international sophisticates…. Today it's IT specialists, management consultants and financiers.
The point, I take it, is that the current crop of wordsmiths is no longer as familiar with foreign languages as their nineteenth century analogues were. But is this really the case? I suspect that the number of people who speak English and at least one other language has increased, both in raw numbers and as a percentage of the total number of English speakers. When you start adding up the people in countries such as India, Nigeria, and the Phillippines who speak English as a second language, and throw into the pot all of the people who learn English as a foreign language, English would appear to be exposed to more foreign languages influence than in any century since Harold Godwinson put Hastings on the map.
A better explanation for the reduced borrowing of foreign terms into English may lie in social and psychological factors. For a language to successfully borrow from another language, the act of borrowing has to convey social perks, with the borrowed words lending to the borrower a patina of sophistication or intelligence. In the nineteenth century, the ones who introduced new words into English belonged to a select group of ladies and gentlemen who, though not always ennobled, were "learned in the peerage of words" (Ruskin's phrase, from Sesame and Lilies). Today the person who attempts to smuggle foreign goods into English often loses status. We accord greater respect to the smith who can forge new words out of English raw materials.

Hatching new language, one eggcorn at a time.
If you consider that new words might flow from where new concepts and material things are generated and developed, then you would expect words to originate with dominating economies—and be exported from the language of those economies to other languages as those concepts and materials are marketed elsewhere.
It would seem that centers of cultural development tend to follow the money. (In the 20th Century, the art world of New York waxed as Paris and Berlin waned). So, new cultural ideas would develop within a society where wealth could be spent on something other than mere sustenance, and purveyors of culture would be more than happy to deliver their product in the language of the money that reaches their coffers.
If English had more language imports in past centuries it is because the other cultures which produced those earlier words had greater dominance prior to the 20th century. (So perhaps all dominating cultures have a net export of language during their heyday).
So, the title English "isolationism" doesn't seem quite right. Some might say "imperialism," but I would just say that the economic dynamics can be described without necessarily passing a judgment.

Your snowmobile's engine, exhaust, clutches and brake system are all sources of underhood heat. Left unchecked, that heat can cause problems in the sled's ability to function, from improper fuel injection calibration to premature wear on moving parts, like the drive belt, clutch cams and bushings.
The factory venting designs on most modern snowmobiles are adequate for stock engines under moderate conditions. But you have to keep in mind that the hood and bellypan vents are designed primarily for trail sleds and trail riding conditions. Mountain sleds, which typically share the same plastic as trail sled counterparts, operate in much different conditions. Trail sleds operate at high ground speeds with little drag on the drive train. The constant stream of air flowing in through the stock hood vents is enough to keep ambient underhood temps in check and provide fresh air to the intake system. And the low operation demands of a snowmobile cruising down a groomed trail means that the moving parts aren't generating excessive amounts of heat.
A mountain sled with the same hood and bellypan (and identical venting capabilities) has a lot more going against it. The load on the drive train is much higher, given the resistance from the longer, deep lug track, the deeper snow and the constant fight against gravity. Mountain sleds are typically moving at slower ground speeds with higher engine rpm than trail sleds, meaning that the flow of air coming in through the hood vents is slower and the internal source of heat is higher (from the higher rpm). What's more is that mountain sleds are often covered with snow, sometimes blocking off the stock hood vents for long periods of time when the load on the engine and drive train is at its peak.
Right off the showroom floor, a mountain sled has an inadequate ventilation design.
There are two factors to a sled's venting system that need to be addressed when modifying it: fresh air (coming in) and hot air (getting out). Fresh air vents are any vent placed low in the belly pan or on the front side of the hood, where forced air will enter through them. Hot air exit vents are any vents higher up on the hood or cowling or toward the rear of the engine compartment, like on the cowling near your knees or up near the gauge pod. Depending on how fast the sled is moving and how deep the snow is (if it's blocking side vents or nose vents), any vent may serve as a fresh air vent or a hot air exit vent.
Typically, hot air will rise and cold, dense air will settle to the lower areas of the engine compartment. The quick inflow of cold air meeting the hot air will create immediate condensation, creating a very humid climate under the hood of your sled. Snow coming through the vents and hitting the exhaust and other hot parts will create steam-another evil in the system.
Hot air and steam rise, so the most logical area to place exit vents would be up high, near the gauge and headlight area of the hood for when the sled is stopped or moving at a slow ground speed, like working up a tight canyon or through trees. When there is a stream of air coming in through the front vents, then more rear vents will also help the hot air exit. The best combination for a mountain sled would be to add venting to the higher and more rearward areas of the engine compartment. Side panel vents, like those from R&M Lighting Products, though low on the sled, help heat from clutches and exhaust mufflers escape by thermal radiation. Heat radiates off of these parts and is quickly transferred to the cold sources of air right next to these parts. At high ground speeds, these side panel vents will act as exit vents as cool air enters through the hood vents, flows through the engine compartment and is forced out through the side panel vents (and other vents).
For fresh air, there are a few different things to look at. First, a mountain sled can have powder blocking off everything on the front end of the hood and belly pan. Some sled builders will add vents to the back inside wall of the front suspension wells. Some will add vents to the hoods, actually cutting out portions of the hood and adding some type of vent screen, like Starting Line Products' Pre Filter material. Side panel vents can also function as fresh air sources, drawing in cold air as hot air exits through higher vents. The key here is to have vents in the higher areas of the engine compartment.
Many mod sled builders also take into account the engine's intake system when adding or modifying hood and belly pan vents. If the sled's intake is up high, like on a Polaris RMK, some vents in the cowling near the speedometer will help prevent the engine from drawing in steam through the intake.
On mod sleds where the intake is located inside the open engine compartment, like on most turbo sleds, having a source of clean, cool air is important to maintaining consistent operation. Same goes for turbo sleds with an intercooler. In these cases, the hood vents can be modified to open up more air flow near the intake source.
Another venting-related problem mountain sleds come across is clogged vents. Again, going back to the trail sled example, when these hoods are designed on a computer or in a clay mold, they're designed for prime conditions and high ground speeds. Some negative side effects of these cool-looking hood vents are that they become catch basins for powder snow. If a vent is blocked off with snow, it will have a negative effect on underhood temps. The Arctic Cat M sleds are notorious for plugging up the front hood vents. A simple screen like the Pro Lite hood vent screen kit from Black Diamond prevents snow from getting packed in the front vents, ensuring a constant open portal for air to enter the engine compartment.
There are a few main things to remember when looking at hood vent kits: Nearly every mountain sled could benefit from added vents; heat and steam rise, so adding vents low really only helps when you also add vents high; mountain sleds operate at low ground speeds, so vents function differently than on trail sleds.
Upgrading your sled's vent system can save you money by prolonging belt lift, reducing wear on clutch components and prolonging brake component life. It will also help maintain consistent power output by not over-heating the engine and providing a cooler source of intake air.

For the longest time, World Wrestling Entertainment has been trying to do everything in their power to get the majority of fans to cheer John Cena. They've tried giving tweaks to his on-screen persona, they've tried pointing out he's active in charitable campaigns (such as the Make A Wish foundation), they've had him routinely expressing support for the U.S. armed forces, and Cena has made an effort to improve his wrestling repertoire.
Yet, all of these efforts have ended in failure and I believe the reason is because WWE has failed to examine the basic reason that he's getting booed.
To understand the reason for the booing can really be traced back to who the WWE has modeled John Cena's onscreen persona after.
For the last couple years there have been allusions made to Cena's character following a similar path to The Rock, but I believe this is a faulty comparison. Really it seems to me that Cena's character has been modeled after Hulk Hogan of the 1980s and early 1990s and that is where the problem lies.
Hulk Hogan, during the 1980s was the invincible hero, who almost never lost a one-on-one match cleanly (with the one notable exception being the loss to the Ultimate Warrior at Wrestlemania 6). The only time he lost one-one matches is if there was interference in the match. Starting to sound familiar?
Now as far as the WWE are concerned, it doesn't see anything wrong with using Hulk Hogan as a model for John Cena to follow, but there are some fundamental problems with it. First, Hulk Hogan's matches and storylines were very predictable. He typically won in familiar fashion, and even when he lost due to some shenanigans, he would later avenge that loss in a subsequent match. Fans eventually tired of this predictability in the mid-1990s, and it's a large reason why Hogan stopped getting the amount of fans cheering him like he used to.
Smartly, World Championship Wrestling, turned Hogan into a villain and this breathed new life into his character because it made him unpredictable. It meant it was no longer certain that Hogan would automatically win his matches. It also meant that Hogan put over other wrestlers cleanly in one-one matches, and ever better in some cases for the title (Lex Luger, Roddy Piper, and Goldberg are a few that come to mind).
Connected to using Hogan as a model for Cena, is the fact that the WWE had a long period of unpredictably when it came to the outcomes of their matches and their story lines. I am of course referring to the Attitude Era. Fans of the WWE from this period became used to unpredictable outcomes, and today, even though they still follow the WWE, they don't enjoy how predictable the main event picture has become, and in particular John Cena. Why? Predictability is boring.
John Cena in one-on-one matches for the WWE title or the World Heavyweight title, to my knowledge, has never put over an opponent cleanly. In fact, the only cases where for the title, other wrestlers have clean wins over Cena are triple threat matches (the most notable that comes to mind is the triple threat match that Randy Orton won over Cena and Triple H at Wrestlemania 24). The result is that it feels for fans much like it did during the days of Hulk Hogan, that Cena will eventually win out in the end. While for children following the WWE, this predictability might be entertaining, for older fans it's boring; and they will continue to boo Cena until something is done.
So how do you fix this problem?
Many have suggested turning Cena's character into a villain, but this seems a bit of an extreme solution, and wholly unnecessary at this time. What the WWE needs to do is to have Cena put over cleanly some of the other wrestlers on the roster for the title. This would instantly add a degree of unpredictability back into tue story lines and help to humanize Cena's character. For older fans to emphasize with Cena's character they need to believe he's vulnerable. They need to believe that sometimes he can be beaten by someone simply being better on a given night. By putting over other wrestlers cleanly for the title in one-on-one matches they would achieve this, and I suspect you would start to see the majority of fans cheering John Cena instead of booing him.

The first season of "Full Circle," which returns Wednesday on DirecTV's Audience Network, was written by the playwright Neil LaBute and based loosely on Arthur Schnitzler's play "La Ronde." Each episode was an encounter between two characters, one of whom went on to encounter another character in the next episode, a kind of dramatic round robin that all tied together in the end.
Keith Huff, a Chicago-based playwright who has been on staff at "House of Cards" and whose "A Steady Rain" ran on Broadway in 2009, has written the second season. Where the first was set entirely in a restaurant, the new one takes place (mostly) in a bar.

This brand will be 'top shelf' supplements like b12, acai, etc. 'Top Shelf' meaning they will be the purest, freshest, best manufacturing practices, most absorbent, etc.
These supplements will be made from only the best ingredient and manufactured in a way that produces the most absorbent product, most usable by our body.
This brand will target people interested in getting the best possible health supplements available ... at any price. People taking these supplements will be part of an elite group of health conscious, over-educated consumers. 'over-educated' meaning they know more about [whatever the supplement is, like b12, acai, etc] than some of the scientist making it.
These are not people easily fooled or tempted by generic supplements made from cheap ingredients and manufactured without any regard for how well your body can absorb and use the ingredients.
2.625" x 7" label size with rounded corners
Must have our name "Black Label Supplements" and must also have space for actual product ... B12 or Acai or Calcium, etc.
Must also have two white spaces of approximately 1" x 1.5" for barcode and 1" x 1.75" for supplement facts & other ingredients.
Think exclusivity. Think timeless design. Old World craftsmanship. A time when people cared about what they produced and sold. A time when people stood behind their products for years (not just 30 days). In fact, we'll be guaranteeing these products for 1-full year.

Just a few weeks ago, the nation's top military officer was telling Congress it would cost $1 billion a month to take out Syria's chemical weapons program in an extensive military operation entailing thousands of U.S. troops and the establishment of a no-fly zone over the embattled Middle East country.
Now, with the United States appearing close to launching a retaliatory attack for Syrian President Bashar Assad's alleged use of nerve gas last week, defense and diplomatic analysts are cautioning that the expected "surgical" strike will likely be symbolic and fall far short of eliminating Syria's chemical capabilities.
As he decides how to respond to the apparent crossing of a "red line" that he drew, President Barack Obama is treading a fine line between delivering an unmistakable message and becoming involved in a Middle East conflict that a budget-strapped United States can ill afford, and that war-weary Americans want no part of.
"It's an attempt to do a light version of a military response to the use of chemical weapons by the Assad regime," Stephen Long, a professor of international studies at the University of Richmond in Virginia, said Wednesday. "The question is, 'Why would we do this?' We obviously can't condone the use of chemical weapons, but a limited strike in response doesn't really change the situation on the ground. And it could elicit a response by the Assad regime and possibly by Iran. It doesn't really get us anywhere."
Obama, though, is hemmed in by a host of fiscal and political constraints.
Already facing an October showdown with Republicans over raising the federal debt ceiling, he is unlikely to seek more money for an expensive new engagement in Syria. After more than a decade of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, most Americans oppose U.S. involvement in Syria, recent polls show, even to respond to a chemical weapons attack.
The Pentagon's budget has been dropping for two years after record growth following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, and forced cuts this year have slashed billions more under a congressionally imposed system called sequestration.
Starting at the top with Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Obama's military commanders have described the high costs and large risks of entering a two-year-old civil war in Syria that could spread beyond its borders to engulf other countries in the region.
The phrase heard around the Pentagon's vast corridors in recent days is "deter and degrade" – but, significantly, not "destroy" – as military commanders weigh the options available to Obama.
"Securing (Syria's) chemical weapons versus deterring and degrading its use of chemical weapons are very different," a senior defense official, who asked that he not be identified in order to speak candidly, told McClatchy. "Securing chemical weapons is a much broader military task than a limited strike that deters the use of chemical weapons and fundamentally sends a signal to Syria, Iran or anyone else."
Such a focused U.S. response would likely be carried out via a strike by Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from one or more of the four U.S. Navy destroyers in the eastern Mediterranean Sea off Syria's cost, according to interviews with multiple government and non-government sources.
Pentagon officials have tried to rebut reports that the U.S. attack will be staggered over several days, suggesting there will be a single attack or burst of attacks within a shorter period of time.
That would be a far cry from the "shock and awe" display U.S. military commanders employed in the March 2003 air assault on Iraq ordered by President George W. Bush. It could even be more restrained than the Tomahawk missile attack that Obama directed against Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi in March 2011.
But those strikes were aimed at dislodging Gadhafi and Iraqi strongman Saddam Hussein, while Obama administration officials have stressed that there is no immediate talk of regime change in Syria.
"The administration is trying to thread the needle," said Richard Haass, a former senior State Department official who now heads the Council on Foreign Relations in New York.
Some analysts wonder whether a symbolic "spanking" – in one expert's words – would really deter Assad from launching a follow-on chemical weapons attack or rather just up the ante, causing him to become more aggressive against the rebels in his country's ongoing civil war.
"I'm not sure that we have any good options," said retired Army Col. Kenneth Allard, a military commentator who ran simulated war games based in Syria as dean of the National War College at Fort McNair in the 1980s. "I think we will apply the therapeutic use of force, not the effective use of force. People doubt whether we're really serious. Right now they doubt Mr. Obama."
Obama has been getting warning signs about deeper Syria involvement from his top military advisers for weeks, and it's not clear that last week's chemical weapons attack outside Damascus has changed their assessment.
Dempsey told Congress in testimony and letters that the rebels fighting Assad aren't ready to assume power. Among a handful of military options, he described an ambitious plan to control Syria's chemical weapons that he said could cost more than $1 billion a month to implement.
"At a minimum, this option would call for a no-fly zone, as well as air and missile strikes involving hundreds of aircraft, ships, submarines and other enablers," Dempsey said. "Thousands of special operations forces and other ground forces would be needed to assault and secure critical sites."
Jon Alterman, a former senior State Department official and director of Middle East studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington, said Dempsey and other military leaders have received clear cautionary signals from Obama, many lawmakers and the American public that steer clear of such a sweeping strategy.
"There is often a reluctance in the military to use force, especially when they fear that the real objectives are political and not military," Alterman said. "There's also the long hangover of the Iraq war and the Afghanistan war. The attitude of the Pentagon's civilian bosses seems to be that we're getting out of wars in the Middle East, not getting into them."

Flushing away our freedom
My toilets are turning me into my father.
When I was a kid in the 1970s, there were few greater worries than the plumbing. This was mostly because plumbers were expensive and many families had only one income.
My father, always looking for a bargain, purchased the cheapest toilet he could find for the powder room he finished in the basement. It never did work right.
For starters, it was absurdly small — as though it had been designed for miniature people. It didn't take more than a few pieces of tissue to clog it. My father was soon spending much of his spare time unplugging it — and pleading with us not to use it.
Inevitably, however, somebody would use it, it would clog, my mother would rush to shut off the valve, and my father would grumble to her, "For godssakes, Betty, why can't they use the upstairs commodes?"
Still, that old toilet was lots better than the new toilets I have installed in a couple of rental units I own — and now, like my father before me, the plumbing is one of my greatest sources of worry.
That worry is caused by federal action taken in the early 1990s.
Back then, each state had its own toilet standards, which made toilet manufacturing more costly. So a toilet association lobbied Congress to create one national toilet standard, an idea that made sense.
But the move to standardize was seized upon by bureaucrats and environmentalists. They saw an opportunity to craft a federal law that would conserve the nation's water supply. Somebody arbitrarily decided that a 1.6-gallon toilet, rather than the 3.5- to 5-gallon toilets most Americans were then using, would do the trick, and some legislator slipped the requirement into the Energy Policy and Conservation Act of 1992.
For nearly 20 years now, the government has mandated that new U.S. toilets use only 1.6 gallons of water per flush, down from the robust 3.5 gallons per flush Americans had enjoyed since we perfected the art of indoor plumbing.
Scientifically speaking, 1.6 gallons of conventional gravity flushing isn't very powerful. It's barely powerful enough to flush a few errant strands of tissue — which is great for singer Sheryl Crow, who recommends that that is all we use.
Here's the kicker: Unless you get a top model at top dollar, which can be somewhat functional, the new toilets aren't necessarily conserving much water at all. A plumbing expert I talked with told me that to prevent clogs, people are flushing two or three times to get the job done.
And so I worry. I've warned my tenants about the problem. I've urged them to embrace the Sheryl Crow philosophy, but clogs are common and a massive overflow into the rental units below me is just a matter of time.
It's no wonder, then, that such federal laws are turning law-abiding Americans into criminals. It is now illegal to "procure" a 3.5-gallon toilet, but that hasn't stopped desperate fathers and landlords from driving to Canada, where the larger-flow toilets are still available.
If you get caught with one, though, the feds will slap you with a $2,500 fine and prosecute you for transporting porcelain over federal lines for illegal flushes.
This infringement on our freedoms is an outrage, yet the ACLU is nowhere to be found. Hey, ACLU, government bureaucrats have no right butting into our bathrooms!

Hope you all had an amazing week!
As you can tell I have finally changed my blog design! I wanted something simple and the homepage was getting too long to load. I decided to just change everything an make it more functional and from now on only a part of the post will be available and in order to see the whole post you'll have to click on it, it may take an extra step to get there but it's fast and you won't have to wait for anything to load! I also added some pages on top to sort of make it easier for everybody to find what they are looking for. Hope you like it:)
Can you believe that these heels were actually on sale for six pounds? They still have them in UK size 5, if you like them make sure to check them out! They are one of the most comfortable pairs I own and the snake print effect makes them such a statement piece! I also love the ankle strap as it makes them perfect for both Summer and Winter time while adding a little extra to the design of it. I wanted the heels to be the statement piece of the outfit and that's why I kept the rest of the outfit black and beige!
I am wearing:
Sweater - H&M
Shirt - Primark
Shorts - Zara
Heels - New Look
Bag - Primark
Necklace - Primark
Bracelets - Guess, 2014 charm and Primark
Rings - Primark and Warren James

The New York Timesand the Los Angeles Times lead with news that the unemployment rate reached 7.2 percent in December—the highest in 16 years. A report just released from the Bureau of Labor Statistics reveals that 524,000 jobs were lost last month alone and, at a level unseen since the end of World War II, 2.5 million jobs in the last 12 months. The Washington Post stuffs the story in the business section but mentions the statistic in its lead story with news that the Bush administration is preparing to ask Congress to release the remaining $350 billion of bailout money. Senior Bush administration officials are working with the Obama transition team to determine which president will have the unsavory task of signing a veto to proceed with the unpopular bailout plan, as Congress is expected to deny the request for the funds. The Wall Street Journal tops its world-wide news box with Israel and Hamas' rejection of a proposed United Nations Security Council cease-fire resolution. Yesterday, Palestinian militants fired 30 rockets at Israel, and Israeli planes attacked 50 targets in Gaza, where 789 Palestinians have died so far.
The total rate of unemployment may be even higher than 7.2 percent. If you include underemployed and discouraged workers, who have stopped looking for a job, the rate jumps to 13.5 percent, according to the NYT and WSJ, which fronts the story. An expert quoted in the LAT puts the total at 14.5 percent. Not only jobs but also hours have been cut, and the WP breaks the figures down by race and gender, showing losses for all. All signs indicate that unemployment will continue to worsen in 2009.
In the meantime, a request for the rest of the bailout funds could come as early as this weekend, with a vote taking place in Congress as soon as next week. Both Obama and Bush spokespeople indicate that it's just a matter of deciding whether President Bush will make the request on Obama's behalf, if the incoming president decides that he would like to have the funds at his disposal at the start of his term. If Obama were to ask for the money himself, he would start out on a shaky footing with congressional Democrats, who oppose the plan. Once the request is made, Congress has 15 days to vote it down before the funds are released to the Treasury; the only way in which the money would not be made available is if Congress voted to overrule a presidential veto of its vote.
The WP and the NYT front stories about backlash in the Arab world against the war in Gaza. The Egyptian government, which holds a peace treaty with Israel, will not allow people or food to cross the border freely into Gaza, "a decision that has been attacked by Islamic and Arab leaders and proved deeply troubling to many Egyptians," says the NYT. Inside the mosques of Cairo, Arabs are preaching against Israel, and support for extremist groups like Hamas is growing. In the street, Egyptian police stand guard to prevent rioting. The NYT also fronts a look at the tragic fate of the Samouni family, in whose house the papers reported four children were found lying dead next to their mothers earlier this week. Of the nearly 100 relatives who took shelter together, 30 have died from Israeli shelling and shooting that knocked down an entire wall of the house. Yesterday, Israel and Hamas also rejected a peace treaty proposed jointly by France and Egypt, in addition to the U.N.'s plan.
Inside the A section, all papers report that the Illinois House of Representatives voted to impeach Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D) on Friday for abuse of power. The Democratic governor is the first in the state's history to meet that fate and will face trial by the State Senate next. The vote was an overwhelming 114 to 1, but the governor shrugged it off as the inevitable result of years of the House going after his efforts to improve health care for the people of Illinois, reports the NYT. Meanwhile, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled yesterday that the missing signature from the Illinois secretary of state on a document appointing Roland Burris (D) to fill Obama's vacant Senate seat would not be necessary in order for Burris to assume the position. The WSJ notes that Burris' lawyers filed new paperwork with the U.S. Senate at the end of the day Friday and may bring the issue to federal court if he is not seated. Illinois State Rep. Jack D. Franks (D) called for an end to "the freak show which has become the Illinois government," but the Illinois Senate will still need a two-thirds vote in order to remove Blagojevich from office.
Also in Congress, the WSJ reports, Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., is advocating that the government put at least $50 billion of what's left of the bailout funds toward preventing home foreclosures. Rather than allow the money to help the remaining big banks buy up other healthy banks, Frank is pushing to use some of the funding in the Troubled Asset Relief Program to guarantee home loans.
The LAT suggests that the Obama administration will bring the United States into a new phase of post-Sept. 11 counterterrorism. Following Obama's (somewhat controversial) introduction of his intelligence team Friday, his administration is poised to cut many practices that became problematic under President Bush, including the detention of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and "enhanced" interrogation tactics by the CIA. What remains to be seen, though, is what programs the Obama team will institute to move forward with counterterrorism efforts.
While some see Barack Obama's election as the beginning of a "post-racial" era in the American melting pot, the NYT fronts a story about immigrant families sending their children to charter schools because they see them as "havens where their children are shielded from the American youth culture that pervades large district schools." In Minnesota, an influx of immigrants in recent years has led to the founding of 30 international schools among the state's 138 charter schools, each of which tends to be focused on a specific immigrant community, thereby enabling students to learn or preserve their parents' culture along with mainstream American culture.
The WP reports that an Oxford physicist has invented "self-adjusting" eyeglasses to distribute to people in poor countries who cannot afford to see an optometrist and buy their own. Wearers use syringes to pump silicone oil into the lenses upon their first use until they reach optimum clarity. Sixty percent to 70 percent of Americans and Britons wear corrective lenses, and Joshua Silver hopes his, at $19 a pair, will help those in less fortunate countries see more clearly.
Former war correspondent Patte Barham, a member of an elite California family, is on a quest to find the lost crown jewels of the czar of Russia. Barham says her stepfather, formerly a Russian prince and aid to the executed Czar Nicholas II, told her he buried the "diamonds, Faberge eggs, imperial Russian crowns and tiaras, jewel-encrusted gold picture frames and opera-length strands of pearls, rubies, sapphires and diamonds … in seven coffins in a hole 7 feet square and 10 feet deep in the middle of Mongolia's Gobi Desert," the LAT reports in a front-page feature. Barham lost the hand-drawn map her stepfather gave her before his death but says she had memorized the location it marked and will mount an expedition to find the buried treasure.
Among perhaps the most daring workers in the Midwest are the employees of investment company Edward Jones. The firm, founded in 1922, still sends salespeople door-to-door selling investments, and it has stayed afloat even in the worst market since the 1930s. A front-page story in the WSJ features the people who pitch relatively conservative investments to Missouri families, retirees, and shop owners while rescuing the odd child from a tree or dog from a goldfish pond—all in a day's work.

Formative Film Writing
The new issue of Sight & Sound magazine contains a large feature in which film critics choose works of criticism that had an inspirational or formative impact on them. It's a captivating read, and I'd like to use it as a springboard to offer a brief response and also ask you for your examples and stories.
I have a somewhat unusual tale to recount here. The first piece of cinema writing that grabbed me by the lapels was a book I discovered in my engineering college library when I was seventeen: James Monaco's The New Wave: Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol, Rohmer, Rivette (1976). At the time--well before India threw its doors open to full-blown free enterprise via its 'economic liberalization' program in 1991--imports of goods were severely restricted.
The New Wave was the first film book I ever read cover to cover, and I thought about it often over the next few years. The only problem was: because of lack of availability, I hadn't seen a single film in the book! Over the course of several years, I built up elaborate fantasies of these films from Monaco's plot descriptions and analyses, not aided much by the sparse collection of B&W stills, all of which I nevertheless memorized right down to the last gesture, glance and sartorial detail.
Years later, after I moved to the States, I finally caught up with most of the films on videotape. But to this day a tension remains, never completely resolved, between the films as the edifices I constructed in my mind sight unseen and the way they really, actually, turned out to be.
The book was formative for me in some very deep, fundamental ways. For example, Monaco wrote about New Wave filmmakers as having a certain unique shared attitude: they valorized the importance of ideas in cinema.
Having held apprenticeships as critics, all of them see film essentially as a phenomenon of intelligence. This is not to suggest that their films are devoid of feeling; on the contrary, they are often invested with profound emotional significance. But always we are led back to a basic structure of ideas. There is an underlying logic, no matter how passionately it is developed. Film is, for them, a fascinating way to discover the world and to develop an understanding of its politics, its psychology, its structure, its language.
Monaco's book is also driven by a view of cinema (and of art in general) as being essentially dialectical. This was a revelation to me at the time. He holds dear Godard's summarizing phrase "method and sentiment." (The word "sentiment" in French, Monaco points out, has a broader meaning: it "encompasses the English senses of affection and feeling, but it also has connotations of perception, sense, consciousness, and sensibility".)
I remember the following simple passage burning itself into my head:
When one image is juxtaposed with another, one sound with another, an image with a sound, it is almost impossible not to think dialectically. It is not always the artist who works this way; sometimes it is only the observer.
Even today it seems to me a wise, succinct lesson on both filmmaking practice and viewing practice.
And now, I'm very eager to know: what were some of your early, formative encounters with cinema writing--reviews, essays, books, magazines, etc?
What strikes me as amazing about the current financial crisis is this: there's not a great deal of talk about the underlying causes of the crisis and how to uproot them. The proposed bailout plan will do zilch to address the reasons why we got into this mess. In the long view, it's an emergency band-aid, no more. Also striking: the plan is brazenly free of oversight and arrogantly skimpy on details (a three-pager demanding $700 billion).
The key elements of this horror story--subprime mortgages, the derivative financial instruments known as credit default swaps, the AAA credit ratings awarded to these instruments, the mostly young sales-force that aggressively sold these worthless 'assets'--exist thanks mainly to outrageous deregulation. But there's been little discussion so far of the kinds of structural changes the American economic model will desperately need moving forward. Paulson is right about exactly one thing: "Raw capitalism is dead." To dream for a second: What the presidential candidates should be doing is calling up some of the best economic minds in the country and having them suggest detailed, realistic plans for systematic, across-the-board de-deregulation. There are fundamental conceptual changes that our model of capitalism needs, and the 'good thing' about this crisis, its potential, is that it might perhaps lead to widespread public conversation--and education--about what these changes might or should look like. No?

You might work hard and still fail; you certainly wouldn't get anywhere by adjusting your attitude or dreamily "visualizing" success. Calvinists thought "negatively," as we would say today, carrying a weight of guilt and foreboding that sometimes broke their spirits. It was in response to this harsh attitude that positive thinking arose — among mystics, lay healers and transcendentalists — in the 19th century, with its crowd-pleasing message that God, or the universe, is really on your side, that you can actually have whatever you want, if the wanting is focused enough."

With millions of dollars in federal funding, a more harmonious political environment and the benefit of early planning, most of the state-run health insurance marketplaces are outperforming the clunky, glitch-prone federal website that serves the other 36 states.
Federal figures show that nearly 3 of 4 Americans who enrolled in insurance coverage through online marketplaces in October did so through the exchanges run by 14 states and the District of Columbia. That's nearly 80,000 people, compared with roughly 27,000 on the federal website HealthCare.gov, which had a goal of 500,000 enrollees for October.
Leading the enrollment success stories are states such as California, Washington, Kentucky, New York and Connecticut.
"There's some extraordinary efforts being made in states across the country, and it augers well in terms of the overall implementation of the Affordable Care Act," said Ron Pollack, the executive director of Families USA, a national patient advocacy organization. "Once the federal marketplace website is fixed, I think we can expect similar" enrollment successes.

Some states owe their success to early starts of construction on their enrollment websites. But comparing the operation of the federal health insurance exchange with those of the state-run exchanges is not an apples-to-apples equation.
HealthCare.gov has 186 insurance carriers, and each offers an average of 86 different products to consumers, which Peter Lee, the executive director of Covered California, the state's health insurance exchange, called "mind-boggling." Covered California has 11 plans across the state, with each insurer offering 36 products.
The Golden State's health insurance marketplace, the first created in the nation, has avoided the pitfalls that have nearly derailed the federal system, and having a head start probably played a role.
The state passed legislation approving an online insurance exchange after the Affordable Care Act became law in 2010. Two years later, California had a plan to develop a complex computer system and the time to revise and test it before taking it live last month.
Most of the problems with the federal marketplace stem from the developers' failure to test the fully integrated system rather than just its individual parts.
"California had the ability and focus to do a very detailed plan and then build according to that plan," Lee said.
By the end of October, about 31,000 Californians had selected plans through the exchange, and that number jumped to 59,000 by Nov. 12.
Lee estimates that 2,000 people select plans each day on the website, and he said that 69 percent of those who did so said it was easy, adding, "That belies the logic and the drumbeat in the media that people can't get through and enroll."
Even so, Covered California also has faced technical roadblocks – including night and weekend shutdowns for repairs, bugs in a provider directory and complaints by enrollment counselors of being logged out of the system. Some health providers in the state give the system a B minus for reliability, but they say that's better than the failing grade the federal exchange warrants.
Washington state's Healthplanfinder has encountered its share of problems, too, including a troubled launch and long waits at its call center. But the exchange enrolled more than 77,000 people in private plans or Medicaid in its first six weeks.
"Washington is among the states that have had the fewest issues with getting started," said Anne Gauthier, senior program director at the National Academy for State Health Policy. "I wouldn't say Washington is at the head of the class or that any of the others are. . . . They have all experienced issues. They are sharing information about how they are solving them. They are all making fixes and improving."
A few early, strategic decisions are shaping up as the key to avoiding bigger troubles, according to officials at the Washington Health Benefit Exchange, the public-private partnership that runs the website and is led by Chief Executive Richard Onizuka.
The state chose early on to have its Department of Social and Health Services build its own Medicaid eligibility system to serve as an interface with the exchange. This made use of existing Medicaid eligibility data but let the exchange bypass its older computer system.
The state had set up its website to allow "anonymous browsing," which meant that visitors to the site didn't have to create accounts before shopping or comparing prices. Curt Kwak, the chief information officer for the Washington exchange, said he thought it had led to more people using the site.
"People weren't afraid to go in and find things," he said. "If they saw what they liked, boom; they applied. If they didn't, they went on about their business."
Kentucky also started building its website early, in October 2012. By last June, it was among the first states to submit required test results of its ability to link to the federal data services hub, which verifies applicants' information for marketplaces in each state. As of Thursday, more than 56,000 people had enrolled for coverage; nearly 11,000 had signed up for health plans and more than 45,000 had signed up for Medicaid.
Carrie Banahan, the executive director of the Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange, said state officials also benefited from asking private-sector experts to help develop and test the program. She said Kentucky's decision to allow people to browse health plans without creating full financial profiles had made the system easier to use.
The lack of browsing ability was a big reason the federal website malfunctioned on its Oct. 1 launch.
In Connecticut, the 14,000 people who enrolled in October are about 14 percent of its total six-month enrollment goal, said Kevin Counihan, the CEO of the state's marketplace, Access Health CT.
"We had a much bigger start, actually, even on our first day, than I expected," said Counihan, who worked on the Massachusetts exchange –which served as the model for Obamacare – and who'd expected similarly slow enrollments in Connecticut.
In a survey of 700 Access Health CT enrollees, 82 percent said they were likely to recommend the exchange to a friend.
Next door in New York, more than 24,500 people had selected plans and nearly 24,000 had enrolled in Medicaid for next year as of Nov. 12. Danielle Holihan, the deputy director of the state marketplace, credits the successful launch of its website a year ago and the opening of the call center two weeks before the start of open enrollment on Oct. 12.
The website logged 10 million hits on the first day and quadrupled its user capacity within three days. Now 95 percent of transactions are processed in under two seconds.
On the other hand, sign-up numbers are low in Maryland and Oregon's marketplace has been a flop thus far, with technical problems that have stymied enrollment. But the state has had great success at enrolling 70,000 people in Medicaid, which has helped to cut Oregon's uninsured rate by 10 percent, said Amy Fauver, a spokeswoman for the Cover Oregon marketplace.
Mary Meehan of the Lexington (Ky.) Herald-Leader contributed to this article.

I really liked the book because there was a lot of rescuing of people. There are lots of pictures showing scenes from the story. There was a picture of three army men laying down under the tree shade. Jack and Annie were my favorite characters because they are really good at saving people.
The book is probably for fourth and third graders. This is like many of the Magic Tree House books. The people who like this series should also read this book.

Wiedel describes his unique blend of metaphysical trailer-park angst as "trashy yet mystical;" Wiedel finds the complexity in actions taken out of context and placed within a cheap motel, the dialectical meaning in the iconography of the van, the spiritual gesture of a face-shoving match, the hostility in a complacent family vacation portrait. His works are uncannily American, displaying a David Lynch-like curiosity in society's two-faced duplicity, its simultaneous suburban superficiality and seedy underbelly. At once dark and humorous, Wiedel's works startle and shock through their sheer familiarity.
