WA Governor Debate In Yakima
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) — Republican Rob McKenna and Democrat Jay Inslee sparred over taxes, immigration and health insurance yesterday in the third debate of their race for governor. Recent polls show Inslee has opened a slight lead in this Democratic-leaning state. The debate at the Yakima Convention Center showed a sharp difference between the candidates over a federal plan to expand Medicaid to cover more people without medical insurance. McKenna is opposed, while Inslee favors it.

DETROIT -- Cadillac wants buyers to see the brand in the same light as juggernaut German luxury automakers such as Mercedes-Benz and Audi. At the auto show here next week, they will.
For the first time in many years, Cadillac's stand at its hometown show will be separate from its General Motors sibling brands, Buick, GMC and Chevrolet.
Cadillac will occupy real estate in Cobo Center's affluent enclave. Neighbors will include Mercedes, Jaguar-Land Rover, Ferrari and Audi. It's a brisk five-minute walk to get to GM's other brands.
Cadillac has long wanted stand-alone billing in the mix with its luxury rivals, but Detroit show logistics have prevented its relocation. Making the move this year is well-timed and is thick with symbolism.
Cadillac has aspired to compete with the Germans for years. But as recently as last year's show, Cadillac's lineup -- while much improved -- was threadbare, down to just three vehicles and one sedan, the CTS.
Now, Caddy can strut into its new stand with a little swagger -- most notably the ATS sedan that was unveiled at last year's show and is now a finalist for North American Car of the Year. And the ELR plug-in hyrbrid sports coupe should provide some buzz in Caddy's new space.
"We need to be grouped with the luxury competitors," Bob Ferguson, Cadillac global vice president, told me this week. "This had to happen."

- Towards a typology of valency : ein Beitrag zu den Techniken Valenz und Orientierung (1984)
- Grammatical relations, particularly the notions of transitivity, case marking, ergativity, passive and antipassive have been a favourite subject of typological research during the last decade, but surprisingly, the notion of valency has been of marginal interest in cross-linguistic studies, though the syntactic and semantic status of participants is, to a great extent, determined by the relational properties of the verb. Valency is the property of the verb which determines the obligatory and optional number of its participants, their morphosyntactic form, their semantic class membership (e.g. ± animate, ± human) ,and their semantic role (e.g. agent, patient, recipient). The valency inherently gives information on the nature of the semantic and syntactic relations that hold between the verb and its participants. If a verb is combined with more participants than allowed or less than required, or if the participants do not show the required morphosyntactic form or class membership, the clause is ungrammatical. In other words, it is not sufficient to consider only the number of actants as a matter of valency, but it is only acceptable if all semantic and morphosyntactic properties of the relation between a verb and its participants that are predictable from the verb are included. The predictability of these properties results from their inherent givenness, and it does not seem reasonable to count some inherently given relational properties as a matter of valency, but not others (compare Helbig (1971:38f) and Heidolph et ale (1981:479) who distinguish between the quantitative, syntactic and semantic aspect of valency).
- Possessive constructions in Tolai (1982)
- Possessive constructions are grammatical constructions which contain two nominals and express that the referent of one of these nominals belongs to the other. The kind of relationship denoted by possessive constructions is not only that of ownership (1), as the term "possessive" might suggest, but also that of kinship (2), bodypart relationship (3), part/whole relationship (4) and similar relationships [...]. The following investigation will start with possessive constructions on phrase level, i.e. possessive phrases, and then deal with possessive constructions on clause level.
- Adnominal and predicative possessive constructions in Melanesian languages (1983)
- According to the present state of research, there seems to be no language which shows possessive classifiers and possessive verbs corresponding to English "to have" at the same time. In classifier languages predicative possession is expressed by verbless clauses, i.e. by existential clauses ("there is my possessed item"), equative clauses ("the possessed item is mine" "that is my possessed item") or by locative expressions ("the possessed item is near me"), in which the classifier in the case of non-inherent possession marks the nature of the relationship. While most Melanesian languages, as for instance Fijian, Lenakel, Pala and Tolai are classifier languages, Nguna, a Melanesian language spoken in Vanuatu, only shows traces of the Melanesian possessive classifier system, but, in contrast to the other Melanesian languages, it has a possessive verb, namely 'peani' "to have". In order to show how the Nguna possessive constructions deviate from the common Melanesian type, we shall start with a brief description of the Melanesian possessive constructions in general, and that of Fijian in particular.
- Ergativity in Samoan (1985)
- Most typological and language specific studies on so- called ergative languages are concerned with case marking patterns, particularly split ergativity, with the organization of syntactic relations as defined by syntactic operations such as coreferential deletion across coordinate conjunctions, Equi-NP-deletion and relativization , and with the notion of subject, but usually neglect the notion of valency, though the inherent relational properties of the verb , i. e. valency, play a fundamental role in the syntactic organization of sentences in ergative as well as in other languages . The following investigation of ergativity in Samoan aims to integrate the notion of valency into the description of semantic and syntactic relations and to outline the characteristic features of Samoan verbal clauses as far as they seem to be relevant to recent and still ongoing discussions on linguistic typology and syntactic theory. The main points of the definition of valency […] are: Valency is the property of the verb which determines the obligatory and optional number of its participants, their morphosyntactic form, their semantic class membership (e.g. ± animate, ± human) , and their semantic role (e.g. agent , patient , recipient). All semantic properties and morphosyntactic properties of participants not inherently given by the verb and therefore not predictable from the verb, are not a matter of valency. Valency is not a homogenous property of the verb, but consists of several exponents which show varying degress of relevance in different languages or different verb classes within a single language.

This is a great Ariete coffee maker with an awesomely retro design. It would look even better under my Christmas tree.
The vintage-looking machine ($250 on Amazon) has a 15-bar pump, toggle switches, indicator lights, temperature controls, and a removable tank. It's flexible, too—you can make your espresso from either pods or grounds. The machine is just so good looking, and it's made by Italians, who have to know at least something about coffee.

Since 1914, Maserati was building and selling race cars as well as sports cars. Rich with Italian styling and obsessed with perfection, the line of exotic luxury cars competes with other foreign luxury vehicle manufacturers. Keen on keeping customers happy after the sale, and wanting to protect the Maserati reputation for excellence, company service advisors and technicians are skilled and knowledgeable about the cars they service. Parts and labor may come at a premium price, but they stand behind their work, and will strive to satisfy even the most discriminating customer. Now owned by Fiat, that drive for excellence continues in today's models.
The Maserati brothers started building cars early in the 20th century. Initially known for their winning race cars, Maserati established itself as a manufacturer of luxurious high-performance sports cars and touring cars.
Once wholly owned by Fiat, Maserati is now controlled by Ferrari, its sister company under the Fiat Group umbrella. In 1999, Maserati was made Ferrari's luxury division. A new factory was built, and Maserati returned to creating high-performance luxury sport cars and sedans.
Maserati reintroduced their cars into the U.S. in 2002, after an absence of 10 plus years. The Maserati Coupe was a new vehicle added to their model line. The Coupe's body was designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro's Italdesign team, while the 4.2-liter V-8 engine was designed by Ferrari.
The 4.2-liter V-8 Ferrari engine delivered 390 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque. Maserati offered two transmissions: a six-speed manual transmission is available in the GT model; or a six-speed automated manual transmission, available in the Cambiocorsa model.
The sequential-shifting transmission in the Cambiocorsa works without a clutch, and allows for quick gear changes. Four driving modes are available with the transmission: Normal, Sport, Auto, and Low Grip. Normal and Sport offer aggressive shifting. Auto mode lets the car do the work, while Low Grip allows the driver to start out slower in situations where traction is less than ideal.
The revival of Maserati in the U.S. was enhanced by the introduction of the Maserati Coupe. Limited production of the vehicle ensured that potential buyers would have to hustle to get the car they wanted.
The interior of the Maserati Coupe follows a Maserati tradition of using high quality leather, excellent craftsmanship, and attention to detail to result in a luxurious riding experience for driver and passengers.
The Giugiaro-designed body is curved and stylish, and doesn't belie the history of luxury that Maserati is known for. The longer wheelbase allows for all four occupants to ride in comfort.
In 2006, The Maserati Coupe's price was reduced from $20,000 to $80,000, making it an even more affordable luxury touring car for customers in the U.S.
The 2006 Maserati Coupe GT, based on the 3200 GT, which is not sold in the U.S., was equipped with the 4.2-liter V-8 engine and a six-speed manual transmission. The Cambiocorsa included the optional automated manual transmission, which allowed the driver to shift gears via steering column paddle shifters, and without the use of a clutch pedal. It had an active suspension that automatically adjusted the suspension according to road and driving conditions.
Standard features are anti-lock brakes, traction control, and stability control.
The four-passenger cabin offered improved location of dash controls for the driver. Standard equipment included power front seats since the driver's seat had memory functions and a 5.8-inch color display for operating the climate control, audio, and trip computer systems. Front and side airbags were standard. Additional optional equipment let owners customize their vehicle to meet their needs.
Standard equipment for the 2006 Maserati Coupe includes eight-way power seats with lumbar and seat bottom height adjustment, folding center armrest, rear ventilation ducts, remote power door locks, power, heated mirrors, cruise control, front console with cup holders and storage, front door pockets, power rear seat easy entry, remote trunk release, power steering, tilt/telescoping steering wheel, climate control, leather trim on dash, doors, shift knob and steering wheel, electrochromatic inside rearview mirror, tachometer, trip computer, external temperature display, compass, element antenna, and AM/FM/CD audio system with eight speakers.
The 2006 Maserati Coupe is equipped with double wishbone front and rear suspension and four-wheel independent suspension. Safety standards include four-wheel ABS, dual front side-mounted airbags, remote anti-theft alarm system, front and rear ventilated disc brakes, engine immobilizer, foglights, front and rear seat headrests, and front seatbelt pretensioners.
Optional equipment included an interior trim upgrade to carbon-fiber, 19-inch alloy wheels and chrome grille, side vents and, in the Executive package, Skyhook active suspension, xenon headlights, mesh grille, and rear park assist.
Additional equipment available as option include xenon HID headlights, five-CD disc changer, and a full range of paint and interior trim colors.
Based on the 3200 GT available in Italy, the Maserati Coupe was introduced in the U.S. in 2002. Three years later, new software for Lotus' DPM system and a new clutch improved the performance of the transmission.
2006 Maserati Coupe
Coupe, Sports
While some of its contenders may have it outclassed in certain areas, the 2006 Maserati Coupe carries a relatively low sticker price, making it a good option for anyone who wants top European luxury and performance without breaking the bank.

Colorado is becoming so alluring to those hoping to cash in on cannabis that even cartoon characters are joining the green stampede.
Zonker Harris, the unrepentant stoner who has lounged around the "Doonesbury" comic strip for roughly four decades, is journeying to Colorado to become a "bajillionaire" marijuana producer, bringing along his underachieving and aimless nephew, Zipper.
In Tuesday's strip, "Doonesbury" artist/author Garry Trudeau revealed what might be -- if their GPS doesn't fail them -- their ultimate destination.
"Uncle Zonk has set his sights on a sweet little grow outside of Boulder!' Zipper clued in his roommate, Jeff.
"Sounds awesome," Jeff replied, to which Zipper said, "We're not chasing the American dream, dude. It's chasing us!"
News of their itinerary appears to be something short of awesome from the perspective of the Boulder Convention & Visitors Bureau.
"We don't have a comment about this," said Kim Farin, the bureau's communications director, who learned of Zonker's pipe dream on the radio Tuesday while readying for work.
This is hardly the first time a well-known figure of fictional pop culture has chosen to make Boulder or its environs his reality. There was, of course, Mork from Ork, the displaced alien of the "Mork and Mindy" television series, who settled here, in a house on Pine Street.
Much more recently, Michael Scott, the fictional boss from the NBC show "The Office," played by Steve Carrell, chucked his career at the Dunder Mifflin Paper Company in Scranton, Pa., to head for Boulder.
Michael Scott was much more warmly received by the Boulder Convention & Visitors Bureau, with Farin saying at the time, "There's a lot of opportunity for an experienced paper salesman here."
'Reflected in popular culture'
Mason Tvert, communications director for the Marijuana Policy Project, admitted to not really knowing the context of the plans announced by Zonker Harris -- whose previous careers included nanny and competitive tanner.
Tvert, a major proponent of Colorado's Amendment 64, which legalized small-scale possession and consumption of marijuana for people 21 and older, said "I think that more than half the people in America now recognize that marijuana should be legal for adults, and we're seeing that shift in attitude being reflected in popular culture."
He added, "Maybe Garry Trudeau has visited Boulder. I don't know."
An unspecified "sweet grow" outside of Boulder could encompass a lot of turf, of course.
Lafayette City Council member Pete d'Oronzio, who has read "Doonesbury" over the years, chuckled at some length upon hearing Zonker's business plan.
"I'm sure he would be welcomed by some and probably not by others," said d'Oronzio, when he stopped laughing.
While he thinks Zonker could get a warm reception from some members of the public, he pointed out that the character's mellow could be harshened by the stark reality of Lafayette's eight-month moratorium, passed Feb. 5, on businesses that sell or allow the consumption on site of marijuana.
That moratorium put the issue into a holding pattern for Lafayette while Colorado officials establish statewide guidelines for establishing guidelines and regulations for implementing Amendment 64.
Nobody's going to know about the rules and regs (for implementation) until October," d'Oronzio said. "We're going to wait to see what the state decides and build on that."
Law-abiding citizens
If Zonker doesn't want to wait on Lafayette, he could move his site selection in any number of directions. Say, for example, Louisville.
"This is a question I did not see coming," said Louisville Mayor Bob Muckle, once he stopped laughing.
"I think we'd be open to any law abiding citizen who wants to live in or around Louisville, and since you can legally (grow), at least in the vicinity of Louisville. We haven't determined yet whether we are going to allow (marijuana) grows in the city or not."
Louisville, like Lafayette, is waiting to see what rules are set by the state before licensing anything beyond its existing medical marijuana business.
"I don't want to prejudge, but I'm sure he'll be able to at least grow in the vicinity of Louisville."

Engadget Reviews the Sensation XL
Posted by Craig Horlacher in "Android News" @ 06:00 AM
"Yes, the family's Windows Phone flagship, the Titan certainly tickled our fancy -- no other phone had landed on that nascent OS with such a screen. But the Sensation XL faces phones both bigger (and only slightly smaller) in the increasingly crowded world of Android."
Check out the Engadget review of this new Android phone from HTC with a 4.7" Super LCD display. It's only 480x800 but if you're looking for something with a big screen and you're not so concerned about the resolution or pixel density this could be just what you're looking for. The Sensation also uses a single core 1.5GHz Qualcomm CPU instead of going with a dual core processor you may expect. Engadget has a video and all their thoughts to help you make your decision.

Lust-have: Keel's Simple Diary
Do you keep a diary? I sure don't (although I suppose this is a diary... of sorts). It would be lovely to do such a thing. How wonderful would it be to look back at any given day and have an exact record of it? It is your life, after all. Wouldn't it be good to remember more than just the superlative (good and bad) moments? Plus, the 'me' culture that pervades should make it super appealing to folks too. A whole book dedicated to moi (even if it is written by one's self)?!
I'm a huge fan of Moleskine notebooks and day planners, which both my husband and I hoard. At any given moment there are at least two dozen in the house. But the new Keel's Simple Diary™ from Taschen might start to elbow in on the above obsession. Swiss (of course) artist and author of (unsurprisingly, a book series called All About Me) Philipp Keel has designed the Simple Diary to inspire and promote the maintenance of a daily diary (no matter how mundane) with 'illuminating inspirations, queries and illustrations to enable to reader/creator to explore, navigate and document their daily life'.
Whatever. If it gets me to actually open the book and put something down in it every day, then I'm there... (I mourn the sunken cost of all my half-filled notebooks!). Apparently, with the Simple Diary, the pressure is taken out of putting down your daily thoughts and observations... distill a little meaning from all that white noise in your life and all that. I'm all on board... as soon as my ear stops humming from having it smooshed against a mobile for too long. Oh, and maybe just one more post first and a tweet or two.

Kim Kardashian's Colorist On Her New 'Do
Kim Kardashian isn't afraid of a bold beauty statement—just take a look at the just-released cover and editorial in CR Fashion Book's next issue. Her unconventional style is exactly why we weren't surprised when the reality star debuted newly blonde locks during summer's (unofficial) final weekend of the summer—around the same time women are considering going a shade darker.
Kardashian's colorist, George Papanikolas, told us: "She's been wanting to go blonde for a while now and post-pregnancy was the prefect time for her." The reality star's dabbled in highlights before, but wanted a different feeling this time around. So Papanikolas gave her a blonde ombré base and chunky pale highlights, ignoring her dark roots. "The heavy roots give it an edge," he says.
Are you itching for a change, too? Kardashian isn't the only one who has made a drastic hair change this summer—everyone from Beyonce to Coco Rocha are opting for a new look. If you want to change the color of your locks, make sure to consider how you'll keep you your hair healthy. Papanikolas suggests using Joico's K-Pak Revitaluxe ($21), a deep conditioner packed with jojoba oil and aloe. "It really helps repair and bring back the moisture that gets lost in such a drastic change," he says.
Kardashian's been laying low since giving birth to baby North West in June, but with Kanye's fashion comeback on the horizon, and a cute new kid to show off, we imagine she'll be out and about in no time. After all, blondes do have more fun.

A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
MUD {Moving Under Direction}
We are a upbeat, growing youth ministry that is searching for a fresh, new modern look. We are looking to develop a logo that will help brand our youth ministry and make us more recognizable in our community.
Teens 7th-12th grade, but a logo that is generally appealing to a wide range of ages.
The logo should be bright, modern and upbeat. It should stand out and have a very strong appeal to the eye. We are specifically looking for something crisp, but with a grungy, urban flair!
Here's the Specifics:
The main title of the logo should be - MUD (While this is an acronym, we do not want to have periods between the letters!)
The subtitle of the logo should be "Moving Under Direction"
You should feel free to use creative elements and color selections. While Mud is brown and we don't mind having brown as one of the colors used in the logo, we do not wish for the entire logo to consist only of brown.
One idea we have had would be to use a "mud splatter" element somewhere in the logo. This however is only one idea to get you started. Your a designer, a creator....so that is what we want you to do!
Have fun and don't forget to ask if you have any questions. May the best designer win!

RG Building & Development
We are a husband and wife team who have had a general contracting and real estate development company for 15+ years. We have 5 full time employees and subcontract the rest of our work. We build custom homes, perform renovations and general contract commercial projects such as condominiums, apartment buildings and restaurant fit ups. We also develop projects for our own account that include multifamily housing in both the rental and for-sale markets and when feasible include a commercial component. Going forward we plan to focus on high-density urban projects that are built with energy efficiency in mind. Our in-house projects require us to obtain government approvals and financing from banks and equity investors. We believe it is uncommon in our industry to have both skill sets in that most companies are either a general contractor or a developer, but not both. We are progressive and want people to know that we have the capability to handle small to large projects.
Due to our dual skill set, our target audience varies from single family homeowners and/or their architects to other developers in need of construction services to equity investors and banks looking to stabilize a troubled asset. Again, we are a progressive company that offers a diverse set of services within the real estate industry.
We want a logo that looks cutting edge while indicating that we are in the real estate business. no greens or yellows i think. no cartoons for sure. Other than that we are looking for new ideas and are excited to see what people come up with.

Federal investigators are examining some well-timed trades made by golf champ Phil Mickelson and golf course owner and Las Vegas gambler William T. Walters. Authorities say the two men made big, profitable bets on Clorox around the time activist investor Carl Icahn launched hostile takeover bids for the company. No charges have been filed, and Icahn asserts that his record is "unblemished."
As Wall Street keeps its eyes on this investigation, here are some other insider trading cases that made headlines.

Dear Dawn,
Thank goodness for Blogger, Thank goodness for blogs, and thank the heavens for blogrolls. For if it wasn't for any of those I would never have noticed you linked me on your blogroll (an honor in itself) and would have never noticed that you have one of the most beautiful blogs in the world (an understatement, yet something you must here more than daily). This is one of my fave posts from you, though the Riviera one is gorge as well. I am ravaging through your archives, reading all your guest posts, and I have decided: we must meet up! I love beaches in long island, love strolling in battery park, never go without brunch on sunday, and think autumn in new york is god's gift to women (hello cashmere booties!). Please grace my blog with your presence and indulge me in an interview. And a guest post, gee, would be icing on the cake!
Leti aka Lola

On Our Radar: Why Google Keeps Getting Better
To truly understand why Google continues to top Fortune's list of best companies to work, read this article in Slate, which describes the team of social scientists who study how Googlers work and come up with ideas to improve everything from benefits to pay to those little perks the company is famous for. — Lauren Weber
In this item in HBR. Burberry CEO Angela Ahrendts talks about how she turned things around at the British luxury goods brand. When she took up the post in 2006, the company lacked consistency, prompting her to appoint a "brand czar." –Leslie Kwoh
The New Yorker on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. It was supposed to be revolutionary. Instead, it's "an abject lesson in how not to build an airplane."— Allison Lichter
Lots has been written (including by us) about innovations designed to help cubicle-bound workers avoid the dangers of sitting all day. Here, the Journal offers a corrective to all that buzz. Turns out treadmill desks, yoga balls-as-chairs and other modifications can lead to injuries and other risks. — Lauren Weber

One of the prettiest sets of Christmas lights in Neosho are the candles in the Newton County Courthouse.
One of the prettiest sets of Christmas lights in Neosho are the candles in the Newton County Courthouse. Each Christmas, the candles appear in most of the windows and make the Neosho Square picture card perfect.
The "candles in the window" program began in the mid-to-late 1980s — probably 1986. According to Dennis Embrey of Stella, who was the courthouse janitor then, the city fathers were trying to revitalize the square and came to the county commission to ask them to do something for the courthouse. The commissioners, however, thought the county couldn't afford to do anything.
That's when Ruth Adele Bushmeyer, one of Neosho's biggest town boosters, decided to help spread some holiday cheer.
For several years, a large star had shone from the roof of the courthouse. But, in time, it disappeared, very probably broken or worn out.
During World War II, the courthouse flashed a big letter "V" on the roof. The "V" was often used by Winston Churchill, prime minister of England, as a sign of Victory during the hard and desperate times in war-torn England.
So, Bushmeyer came up with the idea of candles in each window of the courthouse at Christmas time. She purchased enough for all the windows that could show them. No county funds were given nor were any other individual contributions believed to have been made. But Bushmeyer's act of generosity has been appreciated by hundreds of people ever since.
Each year, for the last 25 years or so, the "Bushmeyer candles" have shone each Christmas.
Embrey said when he was janitor, he put them up the day after Thanksgiving. At that time, the night cleaning crew carried extra lights with them on their rounds and replaced any burned out bulbs. Then, on New Year's Day, when the courthouse was closed. Embrey came to work, took the candles down and stored them in a closet in the basement of the courthouse.
This tradition has continued since that time. The candles still make a uniform and simple statement as they bring beauty and a sense of peace to all who come to the square. With the loss of so much retail business around the courthouse, the candles have provided, not only beauty, but a sense of permanency in downtown Neosho.
Betty Wright, who worked in the courthouse when the candles were introduced, said, "I like them. They have always looked so pretty."
Bushmeyer was one of the early recipients of the "Book of Golden Deeds," awarded each year since 1984 by the Neosho Exchange Club. She was honored with that award in 1986. Three years later, she was named Neosho's "Citizen of the Year."
Although Bushmeyer did many good things, the candles in the courthouse window serve as a reminder of what a bright warm light she cast over her community.

Takes patience to hit a large parlay--and faith.
Same can be said for the tortoise approach. neither is widely advantgeous over the other, and each road has its own perils.
A parlay is putting a huge loot on one play--but w/o all the anguish of doing so; almost blindly betting. That last leg of an 8 teamer might be about a 5gs bet on a game to go over the total.

I've had the pleasure of chatting with a full time link builder and cartoonist extroidanaire. He goes online by the name of SEOKevin and can be seen here in the comments. He is responsible for my now favorite comic strip of all time(sorry Calvin & Hobbes), Kevin & the Googlebots. The comic is based around many hilarious scenarious mixed with real life mixed in with a whole lot of well thought out SEO humor. I know if I showed this to my normal friends they would most likely not enjoy this as much as you folks. IF anyone from one of the bigger SEO sites such as Search Engine Journal see's this comic then I'd urge you to get it on as a weekly feature…this is one form of comedy not to be missed. Here's a taste of Kevin's work and if you like what you see, get in contact and let him know you enjoyed it so he keeps putting them out!

(cross-posted from Feministe)
**Trigger warning for description of violence**
It's a Friday night after a long work week. A group of friends, four men and two women, sits down for drinks at someone's house to unwind. All seems well. There is banter all around the table. Someone turns on a radio and music mixes with the sharp notes of quick laughter. A few hours later, a number of drinks have been had and everyone is feeling good, especially one young man who is singing an out of tune version of a once-popular song to the young woman sitting next to him. This young man picks up his drink and his voice soars ever louder and off key as his male friends laugh and cheer him on, finding his antics quite amusing. The young man eventually sits down next to the woman he had been serenading. She is texting someone. The young man next to her does not like this and tries to take her phone. She resists. He tightens his grip on her hand and arm and is eventually joined by another man who grips the woman's other arm. As the three other people at the table watch and laugh at the developing struggle, the woman still does not let go. For several long moments the Singer persists until he bites the woman's arm, gives one last yank at her phone, and finally he and his accomplice give up. The young woman is in shock. She does not register the pain in her arms yet. Instead, she feels betrayed by the others sitting at the same table who watched this behavior, which is already beginning to leave a bruise on her arm, and did nothing but laugh. In effect, they encouraged it.
This woman sits in silence while the others at the table continue to laugh and drink. She gets up to pour herself a glass of water. When she returns, the young man who had serenaded her and tried to take her phone from her is standing behind his seat, drink still in hand, swaying on his feet, clearly very intoxicated. His male friends are laughing at him. Every slurred word, every stumbling footstep seems to produce a new wave of hilarity. As the drunk young man spills his drink and is greeted by even more laughter, the woman stands up. She has had enough.
Enter Madam Buzzkill.
The above story is my own. A drunk young man who I considered my friend tried to take my phone and in the process, bit my arm while another, less-intoxicated man had me by my other arm. The young man was clearly very intoxicated, but none of the other people sitting with us stepped in to stop his behavior from escalating to physical violence. I finally had enough of everyone's inaction and even encouragement of this man's behavior, so I pulled this young man aside to have a talk with him about how his behavior was unacceptable and could potentially get him into a lot of trouble if he wasn't careful when he was out in public. When I explained that he had bitten me he looked shocked. He said he didn't remember it and that he was sorry. I told him that his inability to remember was a cause for concern and he agreed. As I got him to drink some water he explained how he didn't want to look weak to his friends
Before I could address this with him, the other woman in our party came over to where we were talking, listened for a few moments, then essentially began apologizing for my behavior. I would say something and this woman would suggest an alternative and say something about me along the lines of, "I'm sorry. This lady over here, she's kind of uptight about these things." In fact, this woman explained to me later that she basically reinforced that message when she got the young man alone. In essence, she was explaining how I tend to be a buzzkill.
Therein lies the problem. At least in American society, the one I am familiar with, people are socialized to stand by and let things just happen when the situation involves alcohol. Calling people out for unacceptable behavior while drinking is deeply frowned upon because, hey, everyone is just trying to have a good time, right? Who wants to be the downer who warns that maybe Billy shouldn't drink another beer when everyone else is having a good time laughing at how he's wearing his pants on his head? No one wants to be ostracized for not going along with the feel good vibes that come with a few drinks.
Truth is, alcohol does not promote good decision making, and a good sense of community responsibility is important.
A feeling of responsibility to those you drink with would make it easier to step in when a situation appears problematic. Is someone acting sloppy? Say something. Is someone too drunk to be going off alone with someone else? Say something. Being able to speak up in these situations requires a deeper sense of community than what may be accomplished by merely sharing a few drinks with some people you may or may not want to see again.
This is a complicated idea to develop in the minds of most people who drink to relax or perhaps even escape. Most people don't want to add any responsibility to the mix because it's extra work. When I first started drinking, I did so with a carefully selected group of women. We were all good friends and without any prompting we felt comfortable discussing our limits with each other. With that knowledge established before we started drinking, we had no problem looking out for each other. Once I felt comfortable doing this with my friends, it was an easy step toward doing the same thing with people I was less familiar with when I felt that the situation called for intervention.
Simple awareness and a sense of responsibility in bystanders can help prevent people from embarassing themselves and can even help prevent more serious issues such as sexual assault. However, speaking up when socialization demands our silent compliance is not easy. It will take practice to get used to this idea of action, and it may be met with hostility or resistance. But I have hope that in the future, instead of being viewed as a buzzkill, an individual who steps in could be viewed as acting out of love.

It's even worse here in Australia, which has a shocking binge drinking culture.
I've been labelled a killjoy (our version of buzzkill) too, for speaking up when I feel things are getting out of hand, getting too rough or intimidating, too stupid or dangerous.
I came to the point that I'd rather live with the killjoy label than live knowing I could have stood up and didn't.

Stripper Fighting For Life After Falling 15 Feet Over Balcony During Lap Dance!
"A woman was seriously injured after a bizarre incident inside a local strip club early Wednesday morning. It happened at Christie's Caberet in The Flats, just after 1 a.m. According to police, 22-year-old Lauren Block, of Richmond Heights, was reportedly on the second floor of the club when she went over the balcony and landed on her head. Police said they were first told the woman had been thrown over the balcony, but once they arrived, they realized it was an accident."- 8 Cleveland News

Lincoln Heights residents last weekend celebrated the installation of a new traffic signal at North Broadway and Sichel Street, a risky crossroads that has been the scene of numerous auto and pedestrian accidents over the years. Cindy Gonzales, one of those who attended Saturday's ceremony, knows first-hand how dangerous the intersection could be: she was left in a coma for nearly about two weeks after being hit by a drunk driver in the very same intersection nearly 20 years ago.
Cindy's mother, Beatriz Gonzales, who joined her daughter at signal's dedication, began working with Council District 1 about five years ago to finally have a traffic light installed at the intersection to improve safety. Their initial effort, however, failed to convince the city's Department of Transportation that a light was needed. That's when Beatriz Gonzales helped gather 1,700 signatures in favor of adding a traffic light and presented the petition to the council office in 2011. Still, city engineers needed to conduct further traffic studies and money had to be secured to pay for the traffic light, which cost about $250,000, said council district spokeswoman Monica Valencia.
Nearly two decades after her November 2013 accident, Cindy Gonzales, her mother, Councilman Ed Reyes and the students from a nearby Sacred Heart School officially flipped the switch on the new traffic light.
"What this light means is safety for our community and all our kids … and for our seniors, Beatriz Gonzales said at the dedication ceremony. " This is a beautiful day."

Re: arguments Against the "canonicity" of the DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA

I also established a charge account in the nearest photocopy shop; hired my daughter in law who had been a professional secretary to do a lot of typing and record keeping.
Shortly after I received the signed contract, I flew to Port Townsend to spend a long weekend with FH discussing the various problems which we both forsaw. I taped about eight hours of our conversations, and they now form part of the Herbert Archives at the Special Collections Library, Cal State Fullerton.
And with a twinkle in his eye, he pointed out that the source of the material for the DE itself- the hypothetical No room - had been assembled by Leto II himself. Thus any conflicts or contadictions could be easily ascribed to the peculiar prejudices or preferences of Leto himself.

Ibn Teg wrote:...Leto II's empire in case of an Alien threat...
Here is a rich background (and foreground) for the Dune Chronicles, including scholarly bypaths and amusing sidelights. Some of the contributions are sure to arouse controversy, based as they are on questionable sources. Others round out long speculation. Specialists have had their field day here with problems geological, biological, astronomical, and mystical, with pronunciations, major biographies, histories and accounts of little-known figures. The range of topics is catholic: cf. from game for amusement to games of life and death (Cheops or Pyramid Chess to "The Assassins' Handbook").
The history of the Financial Synod which spawned CHOAM gets it first airing in these pages. In fact, many secrets hidden in the Dune Chronicles are answered here.
How did Irulan first gain and then arouse the displeasure of Ghanima? Who was Jehanne Butler and why does the Butlerian Jihad carry her name? What are the hidden origins of the Spacing Guild? Where did spice-trance navigational techniques develop? What was Leto II's private opinion of Holy Sister Quintinius Violet Chenoeh? Does Cheops have something in common with the three-body problem?
I must confess that I found it fascinating to re-enter here some of the sources on which the Chronicles are built. As the first "Dune fan," I give this encyclopedia my delighted approval, although I hold my own counsel on some of the issues still to be explored as the Chronicles unfold.
Frank Herbert
Port Townsend, WA
November, 1983
My first concept of the book was that it would be an A to Z encyclopedia -- Abomination to Zensunni -- that pretended to be an accurate history of the Dune universe, yet did not refer to its creator, Frank Patrick Herbert at all. Ever. In any way.
And so it became.
I am not sure that FH meant any paticular "Butler." But he was certainly
referring to the Luddite anti-machine uprising in Britain at the beginning
of the industrial revolution.
As to the story of the aborted female fetus in the DE which brought about
the Butlerian Jihad, that creation was entirely my own, as I recall, and I
named her "Jehanne" after Joan of Arc - the warrior saint.
I had proposed to FH that he and I collaborate on a prequel to the Dune
saga called "Prequel to Dune: the Butlerian Jehad" or some similar title.
FH and I had discussed writing it together and he agreed with my general
plot outline, completed first chapter, and so on but his untimely death
prevented us from continuing. He had been living in the LA area at the
time and we often discussed it by phone, but I have no written notes from
him about it, unfortunately The prequel would have followed in general
terms the story as outlined in the DE - sketched in my notes - which I
still have - and written in final published form by one of my colleagues
at Cal State.
"THE DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA reflects an alternate "DUNE universe" which did not necessarily represent the "canon" created by Frank Herbert. Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert, writing with Kevin J. Anderson, IS continuing to establish the canon of the DUNE universe. This is being done with the full approval of the owner of the DUNE copyright, the Herbert Limited Partnership.
"While Frank Herbert himself considered THE DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA interesting and entertaining, he did not refer to Dr. McNelly's derivative work while writing any of his DUNE novels. Likewise, in writing their DUNE novels (beginning with DUNE: HOUSE ATREIDES), Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson have exclusively used, and will continue to use, Frank Herbert's original notes as well as their own imaginations, and not THE DUNE ENCYCLOPEDIA.
"We hope that the millions of DUNE fans will continue to enjoy all of the works written in Frank Herbert's marvelous universe."
A letter written by
Dr. Willis McNelly,
Brian Herbert, and
Kevin J. Anderson

SandChigger wrote:Sardaukar Capt wrote:I don't much care for that theory of the BJ either but it came off a bit better.
Agreed. It's a tad too simplistic. It might get you a revolt in one city, or a country, or a whole planet. But a conflict stretching across 13,000-plus worlds and nearly a century?
Nah. Not buying it.
Freakzilla wrote:Ibn Teg wrote:...Leto II's empire in case of an Alien threat...
Leto II was afraid of aliens?
House Corrino would not risk such a holocaust. They were undoubtedly sincere in subscribing to the argument that nuclear weapons were a reserve held for one purpose: defence of humankind should a threatening "other intelligence" ever be encountered.
xcalibur wrote:Frank Herbert gave his approval to the Dune Encyclopedia, but reserved the right to ignore or override it in the novels.
therefore, the DE is semi-canon. it's not 100% reliable as a source, but it can't be dismissed either.

Of course it can be dismissed. It wasn't written by Frank, it isn't canon ... at all.

EXCLUSIVEHe might be the welcher-weight champion of the world ... 'cause TMZ Sports has learned Antonio Tarver was sued over unpaid gambling debts by TWO VEGAS CASINOS before his problems with the Wynn.
According to court docs, Tarver got into some trouble with the MGM Grand and the Bellagio back in 2009 after taking out a heavy-duty gambling marker at each hotel and failing to pay it back.
MGM Grand says ... Tarver borrowed $100k but only paid back $10k
Bellagio says ... Tarver borrowed $50k but only paid back $5k.
They sued -- and according to court records, both casinos got their money back two years later.
But Tarver didn't learn his lesson. As we previously reported, the 45-year-old was locked up for allegedly skipping out on a $200,000 gambling marker from the Wynn stemming from 2012.
Tarver suggested his friend would help him repay the debt -- as long as he gets back in the ring and starts boxing again.
We spoke to Tarver's reps who insist the guy does NOT have a gambling problem.
