Bloc PartyVisit iTunes Store
The week leading up to meeting Mr Kele Okereke is eventful to say the least. Shortly after MR PORTER hears "Ratchet", the breakneck single off Bloc Party's new EP The Nextwave Sessions, the lead guitarist Mr Russell Lissack announces that the band will go on an indefinite hiatus after their headline slot at the UK's Latitude Festival later this month.
This is the second break of their 10-year career and, known to be a reluctant interviewee, it seemed to be a testing time to speak to Mr Okereke - and that's without mentioning a quote from a recent interview: "I try to avoid fashion people, to be honest." Taking a seat after our shoot, however, he appears warm and open, yet shy, with a manner more thoughtful than thorny. "It was a laugh, actually," he says. "It's nice to be pushed out of your comfort zone." Any self-awareness ("I understand what the goal is - it's an advert. You've made something you're really proud of. You're not my shrink, this is about selling records") is tempered with mirth ("I know this is going to sound awful, but I've been wearing tracksuits recently... a velour one for flying. It's so comfortable!").

Hot on the heels of Bloc Party's biggest world tour, the first single from the four-piece since 2012's LP Four packs the punch of platinum-selling debut Silent Alarm - and then some. "I think 'Ratchet' is actually a bit misleading," explains Mr Okereke. "[The EP] was about letting things simmer more organically. It feels like the next step for us as a band. If Four was lots of confrontational colours such as black and red, then I see this EP as more of a watercolour. The ideas are a lot softer and transparent. I'm really proud of it."
The story-telling, seductive "Montreal" and the offbeat drums and discordant guitars on "French Exit" are classic Bloc Party, with added maturity. "Children of the Future" demonstrates lyrical daring and an expanded vocal range. Over six tracks, The Nextwave Sessions shows growth and evolution - with highlights being "Ratchet" and "Obscene", which were produced by Mr Dan Carey, who has also worked with Bat For Lashes and Hot Chip.
The ability to reinvent themselves is the reason why Bloc Party are a more intelligent and lasting product of the early 2000s post-punk revival (see The Futureheads and Kaiser Chiefs). After signing to Wichita Recordings in 2004, their outstanding debut - full of social and political wit - was followed by 2007's A Weekend in the City - a successful experiment with electronica. Glastonbury, a world tour and US success beckoned. Intimacy, released in 2008, was their third LP, and sought to combine Mr Okereke's varied musical tastes, including R & B, on a more personal record. While touring that album, "things", Mr Okereke has said in the past, became "toxic".
Whereas other bands might either plough on or split in a slew of catty comments, a time-out in 2009 improved creativity. In 2010 Mr Okereke released electro-pop solo album The Boxer (the record he is most proud of - a "watershed moment"), and Bloc Party came together for aptly named Four - a joyous return to raw production values. "We were excited about getting into the studio again after our break. There was lots of energy to expel."
The Nextwave Sessions is out on 12 August
With collective creativity still evident on The Nextwave Sessions, one wonders about the basis of the approaching hiatus. "I don't know exactly what Russell said. I don't know any band that..." he trails off. "The issues we have as individuals are pretty common. It's a collective identity versus a separate one. Every band I know reports the same feelings. I think there's something to be said for not airing your dirty linen in public. But then I think there's something to be said for being truthful in every situation."
Surprisingly for a man who likes to keep things private, Mr Okereke stands by this when talk turns to more personal influences. "At the moment, I'm kind of in love again, and I haven't been for a long time. So it's something that is in the back of my thoughts the whole time. That's the thing that I'm dealing with in my writing now - how we exist separately, but together..." he snaps out of this stream of thought. "That sounds really naff," he says with a smirk.
Mr Okereke is experiencing "an exciting time" musically as well as personally, rediscovering the two-step grime, soul and funk music with which he grew up. "I don't know what's next for us as a band, but I know what's resonating with me."
So, after Latitude Festival - what's the next step? "I don't know how honest I can be. Look at me - what a liar I am! The only concerns are getting this EP out there and playing the songs. I have no idea about the future, but I'm a creative person." And, it's fair to say, someone quite comfortable on his own? "I think that's probably where I should leave it!"

text: Harriet Beecher Stowe was a woman ahead of her times. Best known as the author of the best-seller ¿Uncle Tom¿s Cabin,¿ Stowe wrote more than 30 books over 50 years while raising seven children and running a household. Stowe was born in 1811 in Litchfield, Conn., to a preacher who spoke out against the practice of slavery long before it was fashionable. Stowe's book ¿Uncle Tom¿s Cabin¿ is credited with popularizing the abolitionist cause against slavery and is said to have contributed to the outbreak of the Civil War between the Northern United State and south. Legend has it that when U.S. President Abraham Lincoln met Harriet Beecher Stowe in 1862 he said, "So you're the little woman who wrote the book that started this Great War!" After Stowe¿s scholarly husband retired, the family moved to Hartford, where she built her dream house. n 1873, she moved to her last home, the brick Victorian Gothic cottage-style house on Forest Street, which is open as a museum. The Harriet Beecher Stowe Center in Hartford, adjacent to the Mark Twain House and Museum, has three historic buildings on 2.5 acres.

As part of efforts to help modernize and personalize the fan experience, the Browns are rolling out a number of new initiatives, including bringing actual canines onto the field.
According to Will Burge of ESPNCleveland.com, there will be actual weiner dog races at Browns games this year.
The idea is apparently the brainchild of Kevin Griffin, the team's new vice president of fan experience and marketing (and the nephew of Ohio State legend Archie Griffin). Griffin worked with the Seahawks and the Seattle Sounders, and apparently the dachsund dashes were a hit there.
That's just one of the events they have in store, as they hope to modernize player introductions, and have other events to engage fans.
But weiner dogs, gang. If they can find a way to get Barkevious Mingo involved in this promotion, somebody needs to get a raise.

He felt like a Mr. Potatohead with all his parts pulled out. Gouged and strewn about his little blue plastic sneakers. He couldn't figure out which way was up, drowning in the sudden onslaught of confusion. He could breathe- but only just so, and only if he kept his eyes closed as though he could only keep track of one sense at a time. He felt as though every nerve in his body was reacting at once, each organ rallying for secession, threatening to tear him apart. As far as Alex was concerned, whoever determined the common reaction to horrific incidents was numbness, was decidedly an idiot.
Images of fish, their bellies slit in a smooth, bloody arc, flooded his mind suddenly. Their cold staring eyes pressing into his eyelids, challenging them to rise.
Hot sweat prickled under his arms as the hairs rose on the back of his neck. He clenched his fists tightly, willing his lungs to re-fill with air so that his thoughts would stop ricocheting off the lump of dread that had formed in the one place where gray matters.
What seemed like hours later, his lungs unclenched, pocket-by-pocket, until his lips could feel his breath again. His eyes blinked open and he looked down at weak, shaking fists with knuckles that resembled snow-capped mountains.
Now that his breathing had returned his nostrils were filled with the smell of fish- raw and salty with a hint of the metallic scent of blood. He closed his eyes again briefly, and shook his head, hoping the misplaced assault on his nasal passage would waft away. As soon as his vision darkened the fish came back.
"Alex, don't touch that."
His father's voice was distant, the warning uttered half-heartedly, but the six-year-old retracted the hand that was poised over a small basket of mackerel in ice even though he was overwhelmed by the excitement of his very first visit to the fish market. It was normally a trip his father made solo, but because his mother had a last minute hair appointment to dash off to, Alex and his older brother Alfie has been carted along with their disgruntled father.
From the moment the boys stepped into the market their senses had been on the attack. It was loud, smelled awful and strange sights seemed to loom from every corner. Their father kept a firm hold on each of their shoulders, only letting go now and then to prod a fish or answer his cell phone. Alex stayed close to his side while Alfie chose to bound ahead every so often before scurrying back when their father's voice boomed after him.
Alfie was two years older and, as it seemed to Alex, that much braver as well. He was often in trouble but had more stories to share on the playground than any other kid in school as a result. Alex was very much in his shadow there was no denying it, both because of his more diminutive stature and his lack of any semblance of a spine.
Alfie had called him that once. The boys had been throwing a rubber ball around the house and inevitably wound up breaking one of their mother's Rose vases. Alfie had insisted they keep it quiet- deny it to the death, no matter the punishment. Alex had agreed, but promptly dissolved into tears and truths when their father had been called in to mediate. He'd fallen some in Alfie's eyes that night and knew he'd spend the better part of their childhood trying to make up for it.
Forcing the memory from his thoughts, Alex chose instead to refocus on his surroundings. He gazed over at the displays of lined up fish corpses with their mouths hanging slightly open, as though in surprise. 'I was caught?' A particularly upset looking fish seemed to ask, incredulously.
Alex pursed his lips as he stared down at it. He tried to picture it swimming in the ocean, flexing its fins and relishing in its freedom, but he couldn't. He couldn't see past its questioning eyes. It was as though it had been lying there a long time waiting for someone to come by and answer its queries. Alex paused. Could the dead be curious?
"Dad? Can fish think?" The question was out of his mouth before he could stop it.
"What? No. They have virtually no attention span."
Alex must have looked confused because he continued. "They're dumb." He brought his thumb and forefinger a millimeter apart. "Tiny brains."
"Like yours," Alfie whispered hotly in his ear, low enough so that their father couldn't hear.
Choosing to ignore his brother, Alex turned his attention back to the fish he'd been looking at and was alarmed to find it slickly resting in his father's palms.
"What're you doing?" Alex demanded, his voice rising in pitch and concern.
"Checking its gills."
"For what?"
His father paused his prodding and regarded his youngest. "Red. The redder the gills the fresher the fish." He pried Alex's fish's gills open and held it out for his sons to take a peek.
"Looks red to me," Alfie said, sounding bored.
Alex pondered this new fact with interest, thinking the reddest gills should be a crayon colour. He decided next that 'Fresh Gills Red' would be the sheen of his first car.
"So, you dare me?"
Alex was snapped out of his thoughts by the excited voice of his brother. Alfie was holding something in his fingertips smiling his gap-toothed smile at the man behind the counter as their father looked on, amused.
"Go on."
Alex soon realized the thing his brother was holding was actually a fish eye. The eye Alex had been looking into earlier to be exact, as the fish his father held now had another gaping hole to match the questioning mouth. Before he could utter a sound, Alfie tossed the eye into his mouth and bit down hard. There was a squishy 'pop' sound and a viscous liquid splattered on the front of Alex's shirt, one of Alfie's old baseball jerseys that Alex had coveted for months.
Alfie, their father and the fish salesman burst out laughing at once and Alfie made a show of chewing up the eye, swallowing it and then sticking his tongue out. Alex fought the urge to punch him under the chin hard so it was completely severed.
Their father seemed to lighten up after Alfie's little show and let the boys wander through the stalls as he picked out fish. Alfie led the way as usual and they zipped around the aisles peeking at the various creatures of the sea. Alex soon forgot about his shirt when they stopped in front of a large metal door that was propped open with a chunk of grimy wood. Alfie wandered up to it and peeked inside, his eyes lighting up.
"Sharks!" He whispered in awe.
Alex felt a shiver go up his spine as he approached the door feeling a mixture of excitement and apprehension.
"Real ones?" He asked, mimicking his brother's tone.
"See for yourself."
Alfie moved from the doorway, pushed it open a little wider and moved back for his brother to look. Alex took a deep breath before stepping into the doorway. He could feel cold air and guessed the room was some sort of freezer. He peered inside and was disappointed to find that Alfie had been exaggerating. Hanging from large hooks in the center of the room were large fish, no, enormous fish, but they certainly were not sharks.
"These aren't sh-"
Before the accusation was out of his mouth Alex felt pressure on his shoulder blades and found himself falling hard on his knees on icy floor. Before he could turn around, he heard the door close with a thump and a sickening 'click' sound filled his ears. Alex sprung to his feet and whirled towards the closed door.
"Alfie!" He yelled banging his fists against it.
He heard his brother's strangled laughter through the door and felt the anger bubble up inside him. He shouted his name again noticing his breath form a cloud in the cold air. He closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down. He yelled his brother's name again, hot tears forming in the corners of his eyes.
Alex clenched his fists and turned around trying to find another mode of escape. The room was darkened without the light from the market and the hanging fish cast long shadows against the walls. The longer Alex stood there looking, the more furious he grew, fueled now by fear.
"This isn't funny!"
More laughter.
Something inside Alex snapped. He spun on the hanging fish, arms flailing so his fists connected with their cold, hardened bodies. He lost control of the sounds that left his mouth, dissolving into a loud keening borne of white-hot frustration. As he struck them, Alex wondered if he was hurting the fish. He could feel the sting of their scales cutting his skin but he couldn't seem to still his fists.
Eventually, he door was pried open and he saw the stern form of his father in the light through the doorway. He quickly wiped at his tear-stained cheeks knowing it would satisfy Alfie to no end. His heart rose some, thinking of the reprimand his brother would soon face once his father heard about what he had done. Alex strode towards them with all the confidence he could muster, eager and ready.
When he looked up at his father ready to spill his guts, his tongue curled back nearly choking him when he saw his father's expression. Confusion coloured Alex's features immediately. The man did not look angered. Not concerned, nor upset. Instead his features were hardened, his lips thin, his eyes dull. Alex knew that look.
Disappointment shadowed the caves of his father's lower eyelids, as cavernous as the gaping hole where the fish's eye once rested. Immediately, Alex's small balled fists released along with the hopeful breath in his chest.
His father's voice was curt, abrasive. "Come on."
"Come on, Alex." He muttered aloud, looking down at the mess. His mess. He was always making messes. Acting before thinking, behaving before conceiving.
The body at his feet was still, completely unmoving from head to toe.
"Fuck." He repeated. He couldn't quite remember the events leading up to this moment. The exact seconds that blurred together to create a situation he felt wholly and completely removed from. He did remember the anger- the heat behind his eyelids and the pain in the knuckles of his right hand when it first connected to smooth skin and bone.
He closed his eyes again and inhaled deeply. His always was a different kind of anger. Anger that snaps like fish bones, leaving only fish gill red.
The freshest.
To market, to market.

We bought this product for our 10 year old dog that can no longer run beside the bikes. She loves it, we love it and we are taking it everywhere our bikes go. The Burley Tail Wagon was easy to assemble and encourage her to get into. It pulls behind a bike so well that we forget it is there. Very happy with this purchase. Great product!
Purchased a few weeks ago and have had my two Chihuahuas out every day—-they love it and I find it very easy to push—-I still need to connect it to the back of my bike. Trying to get them adjusted one aspect at a time.
I just bought this one for my 16 year old border collie mix. I really love the tailwagon! It is easy to assemble and store for travel and light weight as well as large enough for my dog to be comfortable. The only reason I can't give this 5 starts is that the handle bar is non adjustable and too short for me (I am 6'2'). I really hold it with the tips of my fingers and my leg occsionally kicks into the back side of the wagon. Not sure why this was not made with a height adjustable handle bar like some of the kids hangers. Can this be bought as an accessory?
My dog loves her tail wagon. Every time we are in the garage she hops into it even if we are not going for a ride.
IT DOES NOT!! feel like you're pulling a sheet of plywood in a storm! Side windows are awesome. We live in Colorado so on cold nights I put a hot water bottle back there and zip down the flaps.
Love our burley! While our pooch is adjusting to it, we have been using for groceries, picnics, and as an all around hauler.
This wagon functions great! It is light weight, easy to put together, and easy to attach to the bike. It is a little tough to put it back up from folding it down, but is manageable. Our beagle loves having the front open so she can smell everything in the air. It has pockets and other features that make accessibility and ease of use fantastic!
It is very sturdy and well made. It attaches and can be removed easily and our dog loves it!
I love this thing! I have a 60lb English Bulldog and I use it with a Vintage Electric Electric Bike and it's a match made in heaven! I can get my dog anywhere now it's great! It's built amazing it's super easy to pull its big enough for just about any dog and super easy to clean
Max & Lilly enjoying their ride. They love to be in this trailer. We ride to the Mall and bike trails.

A Course in Miracles
A Course in Miracles is a self-study book of spiritual psychotherapy that was scribed by Helen Schucman between 1965 and 1972 through a process of inner dictation. The book is composed of a 669-page Text, which sets forth the theory, a 488-page Workbook for Students, which sets the theory in motion, and a 92-page Manual for Teachers, which is a short FAQ answering questions commonly asked by students. The Course, as referred to by its students, was first published in 1976 but was later revised to have neater chapter structure and subtitles and was republished in 1992. There are currently over one and a half million copies of the Course in circulation worldwide, and in over 16 different languages.[1]
- This is a course in miracles. It is a required course.
- T-in.1:1-2
- There is no order of difficulty in miracles. One is not 'harder' or 'bigger' than another. They are all the same. All expressions of love are maximal.
- Each day should be devoted to miracles. The purpose of time is to enable you to learn how to use time constructively. It is thus a teaching device and a means to an end.
- Whatever is true is eternal, and cannot change or be changed.
- This is a course in mind training.
- Forgiveness is the healing of the perception of separation.
- Text, Chapter 3
- The body is the ego's idol; the belief in sin made flesh and then projected outward.
- Text, Chapter 20
- This course is easy just because it makes no compromise. Yet it seems difficult to those who still believe that compromise is possible.
- Text, Chapter 23
- ...you must realize that your hatred is in your mind and not outside it before you can get rid of it; and why you must get rid of it before you can perceive the world as it really is.
- Text, Chapter 12
- This is an insane world, and do not underestimate the extent of its insanity.
- Text, Chapter 13
- You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brother totally without judgement.
- Text, Chapter 3
- I must have decided wrongly, because I am not at peace.
- I made the decision myself, but I can also decide otherwise.
- I want to decide otherwise, because I want to be at peace.
- I do not feel guilty, because the Holy Spirit will undo all the
- consequences of my wrong decision if I will let Him.
- I choose to let Him, by allowing Him to decide for God for me.
- Text, Chapter 5
- This passage is sometimes called "the Course in miniature"
Workbook for Students
- The theoretical foundation such as the text provides is necessary as a framework to make the exercises in this workbook meaningful.
- W-in.1:1
- There are no small upsets. They are all equally disturbing to my peace of mind.
- Very few have realized what is actually entailed in picturing the past or anticipating the future. The mind is actually blank when it does this, because it is not really thinking about anything.
- These exercises are concerned with practice, not with understanding. You do not need to practice what you already understand. It would indeed be circular to aim at understanding, and assume that you already have it.
- You think that what upsets you is a frightening world, or a sad world, or a violent world, or an insane world. All these attributes are given it by you. The world is meaningless in itself.
- Purpose is meaning.
- God is in that waste basket.
- There is a place in you where there is perfect peace.
- Lesson 47
- Forgiveness is my function of as the light of the world.
- Lesson 62
- A mind and body cannot both exist.
- Lesson 96
- Let miracles replace all grievances.
- Lesson 342
Manual for Teachers
- This is a manual for the teachers of God.
- M-in.5:4
- The world of time is an illusion.
- There are no accidents in salvation.
- There is nothing you say that contradicts what you think or do; no thought opposes any other thought; no act belies your word; and no word lacks agreement with another. Such are the truly honest.
- Healing is accomplished when the sufferer no longer sees any value in pain.
- Healing must occur in the exact proportion to which the valuelessness of sickness is recognized.
- Healing is always certain.
- Doubt is the result of conflicted wishes. Be sure of what you want, and doubt becomes impossible.

General Commentary on John Ashbery
David Perkins (1987):
On Ashberys Predecessors: Stevens, Eliot and Pound
Ashberys subject matter is similar to that of his favorite poet, Wallace Stevens. Both poets write of the mind forming hypotheses about reality in general, about the ultimate truth or nature of things. Stevens, as I said earlier, took for granted that we cannot know reality in itself. Whether we conceive of it as a colorless, featureless continuum, like gray haze on a winter afternoon, or as a "jostling festival" of concrete, particular identities, like a morning in June full of birdsong, we are in either case forming an imagination of reality.
[Ashbery] dwells on the impossibility of credibly imagining any reality. Putting it another way, we might say that for both Stevens and Ashbery the imagination creates, destroys and immediately creates another vision of reality, but that in Ashbery the process is enormously speeded up. His envisionings of reality are not merely provisional; they transform themselves and disappear in the very process of being proposed, leaving, as he puts it, "Nothing but a bitter impression of absence."
In interviews Ashbery denies that he parodies, and if by the term we mean the echoing of a voice for the sake of ridiculing it, we may concede that his phrasing is seldom merely parodic. Like Eliot in The Waste Land and Pound in the Cantos he adopts or alludes to a style in order to invoke the tone of feeling associated with it, and in comparison with Eliot and Pound, he is less likely to bring to bear literary styles of the past, though he draws on these also. But more frequently he exhibits the modern colloquial voices of different types of people and the styles of contemporary journalism, advertising, bureaucracy, business memos, scientific reports, newspapers, psychology textbooks, and the like. Since these styles are relatively graceless and inactive, we sense a certain irony as we encounter them in one of Ashberys poems. The irony intensifies when the text shifts quickly from one style to another, exhibiting each in contrast while committing itself to none.
A similar irony is present in Ashberys deliberate use of stock ideas and phrases. This pervasive technique conveys, among other things, his fear that in all our thought and speech we are helplessly trapped in the ready-made. Our minds cannot get beyond the systems of convention that fill them, and these codes divorce us from reality. Hence every utterance must be spoken with recognition and apology that the words and concepts are to some degree cliches, and this is what we find in Ashberys texts. But the degree of irony varies enormously.
Through all his volumes Ashbery elaborates the same fundamental insights. That his subject, moreover, is not doings in the world but in the mind means that his poetry, like that of Stevens, largely forgoes the interest that attaches to human character and fate. He grips us by the profundity of his premises and by the brio of his expression, but when his skill as a stylist fails, he is boring. But when Ashbery writes well, no living poet in English can rival him in fresh, apt, surprising phrases. His attitudes and emotions are indescribably gallant as he mingles humor with pathos, resignation and elegy with hope, and maintains his relaxed, equable, fluent, wonderfully imaginative speech despite premises that might have led to despair..
from David Perkins, "Meditations of the Solitary Mind: John Ashbery and A R. Ammons" (Chapter 26) in A History of Modern Poetry: Modernism and After (Cambridge: Harvard U P, 1987), 619-620, 623-624, 632.
John Ashbery (1977):
On the Value of Criticism; on Good Working Conditions for Poetry
Gangel: How do you feel about formal criticism of your work?
Ashbery: Criticism, in general, has less and less to do with my work. Im sometimes kind of jealous of my work. It keeps getting all the attention and Im not. After all, I wrote it.
I really dont know what to think when I read criticism, either favorable or unfavorable. In most cases, even when its sympathetic and understanding, its a sort of parallel adventure to the poetry. It never gives me the feeling that Ill know how to do it the next time I sit down to write, which is my principal concern.
Im not putting down critics, but they dont help the poetry to get its work done. I dont have much use for criticism, in general, even though its turned out Ive written a lot, mostly art criticism.
Very few people have ever written a serious mixed critique of my poetry. Its either dismissed as nonsense or held up as a work of genius. Few critics have ever accepted it on its own terms and pointed out how Ive succeeded at certain moments and failed at other moments at what I was setting out to do.
I will quote one of my favorite lines from Nijinskys journal: "Criticism is death." He doesnt elaborate on that statement at all.
Gangel: You mentioned before you get inspiration from conversations overheard in the streets. Where else?
Ashbery: Im very much of a magpie as far as reading goes. I read anything which comes to my hand. National Enquirer, Dear Abby, a magazine at the dentist, a Victorian novel. I dont have a program in anything, as a matter of fact.
Someone remarked about an obscene passage in a poem. I replied that this shocked him not because it was there, but because there were not more of them.
There is an American feeling that if you do one thing, youve got to do that and nothing else. It goes against my grain.
Poetry includes anything and everything.
Gangel: Do you find it easy to relate to people?
Ashbery: Yes I do. I am a very gregarious person. This often surprises people, because my poetry does have a reputation for being aloof and antihuman. But Im quite the reverse. I enjoy talking with just about anybody. My students, for instance. We get along very well socially. I dont believe in closing myself off from anybody or anything.
My best writing gets done when Im being distracted by people who are calling me or errands that I have to do. Those things seem to help the creative process, in my case.
From Sue Gangel, "An Interview with John Ashbery" (originally printed in the San Francisco Review of Books [November 1977], rep. in Joe David Bellamy, Ed. American Poetry Observed: Poets On Their Work (Urbana: U Illinois P, 1984), 14.

I'm not quite sure how Medics will work, nobody quite brought it up.
Anyways, this is my idea of a Medic. It's based on the Team Fortress 2 medic. Here are my thoughts.
When the solider is being healed by the heal beam, they get plus 1 armor.
The heal behaves like a gun, so they have to be in clear sight and in a straight line, but it keeps healing in till they move away.
Any combat disabilities that hinder the unit (i.e. legs crushed by tank, hand chopped off) are fixed on heal beam, but during that turn, they don't get the +1 armor.
The heal beam can also work for area of effect spells, like for Shaman or Wizards.
What do you think? Constructive Criticism welcome.

After learning a bit of programming, I was attracted by the networking world. I got from petty Pascal/C++ projects through web development using ugly PHP and later Python, to a freelancing work with most of the projects in server administration, network equipment configuration and a bit of programming. Most people in the business know me from my conference talks and articles.
One of my conference talk brought me an offer from Red Hat, which I joined in May 2012 to work on NetworkManager. I was already a Fedora user and package maintainer at that time. Since August 2013 I'm no longer working as a regular NetworkManager developer (staying an upstream contributor, though). Even before that I tried to put my hands on a number of other projects via bug reports, tests and code. I'm also interested in various network-related standards and especially bugs and bad assumptions in IETF documents.

DescriptionThis game lets you play two-on-two arcade basketball with players from all the NBA teams. Gameplay is fast and action-packed, with few rules, no fouls, and deliberately unrealistic jamming. Players are rated on eight ability categories, from steals and blocks, to dunks and 3-pointers.
Up to four human players can take part, each always controlling a single player for their team, and AI for missing players. This allows for four players to face each other in teams of two, or for two players to team up against a third player with a CPU team-mate.
The Tournament Edition ups each team's roster to three players, and allows for substitutions between quarters. Shoving players now results in injuries, which lower a player's stats; encouraging you to sub them out and let them recover. Aside from the usual secret characters and cheat modes, the T.E. also includes four new additions you can individually enable from the special options menu:
- "Hot Spots" are randomized zones on the court that reward extra points (up to a 9-point shot!) for making a basket while standing within them.
- Powerup icons appear randomly, and convey temporary arcade-like benefits when picked up. Some examples are instant "on-fire," enhanced 3-point accuracy, monster dunks from anywhere on the court, or a bomb that knocks all other players to the ground.
- "Juice Mode" increases the speed of the game up to 4x.
- "Tournament Mode" disables all other modes, special characters, and cheats, and challenges you to defeat all the NBA teams to unlock extra players (2 extra players for almost every team). Winning Tournament Mode also unlocks a higher CPU difficulty level.

- Originally Acclaim wanted to add players from the Mortal Kombat game as hidden players, but they had to be removed because the NBA found them not suited to their image.
- A legal issue prevented the name Michael Jordan making an appearance in the game. Look what Acclaim has done instead: Jordan's Bulls team-mate Ron Harper is the named player, but the picture is of Jordan.
- Due to Charles Barkley's licensed game Shut up and Jam, he does not appear in the game
Version differences
- The DOS, Jaguar, Playstation, and Sega Saturn versions of the game use a 3D scaling technique, the players are big when they're on the near side of the court (close to the camera) and smaller when they're on the far side of the court. The 16-bit versions of the game don't have this feature. The 16-bit releases also lack recognizable faces (during gameplay) and voice calls for every player name.
- The rosters of the DOS, Genesis, and SNES version are based on the 1994-1995 season (small differences between versions exist due to trades that could / couldn't be included because of the different release dates).

Former Employee of a Financial Institution Subsidiary Arrested on Criminal Complaint for Role in Fraud Scheme Involving Municipal Bonds
WASHINGTON — A former employee of a subsidiary of a financial institution was arrested on a criminal complaint at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York yesterday after entering the United States, announced the Department of Justice. Peter Ghavami, a Belgian national currently residing in Moscow, was arraigned today in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on one count of wire fraud charged in criminal complaint unsealed today. The criminal complaint, filed on Sept. 16, 2010, alleges that Ghavami participated in a scheme to defraud a municipal bond issuer with respect to the investment of municipal bond proceeds.
According to the criminal complaint, from approximately January 2001 through approximately March 2004, Ghavami worked in the municipal derivatives group of the financial institution's subsidiary as managing director and co-head of the municipal bond reinvestment and derivatives desk. The financial institution and its subsidiary acted as a broker of investment agreements and other municipal finance contracts, such as swaps, to public entities. Public entities typically hire a broker to conduct a competitive bidding process for the award of investment agreements to invest money from a variety of sources, primarily the proceeds of municipal bonds that they issued. Competitive bidding for these agreements by major financial institutions, often referred to as providers, is the subject of regulations issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury and is related to the tax-exempt status of the bonds.
"Pernicious fraud schemes like the one alleged in this complaint undermine the public's confidence and trust in the municipal bond and derivatives markets," said Christine Varney, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. "This type of anticompetitive conduct will be prosecuted to the fullest extent."
According to the court document, Ghavami engaged in a fraudulent scheme beginning on or about Oct. 24, 2001, and continuing to at least Feb. 11, 2002, to deprive a municipal bond issuer of money by causing it to award an investment agreement at an artificially determined or suppressed rate. The municipal bond issuer hired the financial institution subsidiary that Ghavami worked for to act as its broker to conduct a competitive bidding process to select a provider in which to invest proceeds from a municipal bond offering. As a part of the scheme, Ghavami designated in advance which provider would be the winning bidder for a certain investment agreement in exchange for a kickback to be paid to his employer. The undisclosed kickback, in the amount of $100,000, was disguised as a fee and paid in exchange for Ghavami's assistance in manipulating and controlling the bidding process for the investment agreement.
The wire fraud charge with which Ghavami is charged carries a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The maximum fine may be increased to twice the gain derived from the crime or twice the loss suffered by the victims of the crime, if either amount is greater than the statutory maximum fine.
To date, eight people have pleaded guilty to charges based on an ongoing investigation into the municipal bond industry, which is being conducted by the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division, the FBI and IRS Criminal Investigation. The department is coordinating its investigation with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
Three former employees of Beverly Hills, Calif.-based Rubin/Chambers, Dunhill Insurance Services Inc. (CDR) have pleaded guilty to bid-rigging and fraud conspiracies in relation to the ongoing investigation. Five other individuals have pleaded guilty to charges related to the ongoing investigation. In addition, three former financial services executives were indicted on July 27, 2010, for participating in fraud schemes and conspiracies related to the bidding for investment agreements. In October 2009, CDR, two of its employees and one former employee were charged for participating in bid-rigging and fraud conspiracies and related crimes. The CDR trial is scheduled to begin on Sept. 12, 2011.
The ongoing investigation is part of efforts underway by President Barack Obama's Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force. President Obama established the interagency Financial Fraud Enforcement Task Force to wage an aggressive, coordinated and proactive effort to investigate and prosecute financial crimes. The task force includes representatives from a broad range of federal agencies, regulatory authorities, inspectors general and state and local law enforcement who, working together, bring to bear a powerful array of criminal and civil enforcement resources. The task force is working to improve efforts across the federal executive branch, and with state and local partners, to investigate and prosecute significant financial crimes, ensure just and effective punishment for those who perpetrate financial crimes, combat discrimination in the lending and financial markets, and recover proceeds for victims of financial crimes.

Four couples bowl every Friday night in the Millersville Couples-Only bowling league. They're about halfway through the first half of the winter season, and competition is starting to get fierce for placement. Each night, the couples bowl three games and can win up to 8 points for the night. Last Friday, all four couples moved up in the league ranks, though none of the couples played each other this week.
