Elizabeth Smart, survivor of a nine-month abduction, visited the Lowcountry this past weekend to help the Child Abuse Prevention Association of Beaufort County (CAPA) kick start its Step Up for Kids Rally for National Child Abuse Prevention Month.
The weekend began with a reception for Smart, followed by a Friday speech at the Bluffton High School Performing Arts Center where she shared details of her harrowing ordeal 10 years ago.
When asked if she considered herself a survivor, she stopped, reflected for a moment and said evenly, "I don't consider myself a victim, so yes, I am a survivor."
She credited her upbringing and the generous love and support given by her parents as how she was able to maintain hope through her ordeal and not give up on finding a way to freedom.
She ended her speech with heartfelt advice to parents urging them to tell their children every day how much they love them, how irreplaceable they are and how the world would be amiss without them in it.

I've also noticed this creepily excessive hugging and kissing among politicians, but Democrats engage in it more frequently than Republicans. Its inconsistency with their speech and sexual harassment codes leads me to believe that it's another of their self-congratulatory rituals of mutual identification, saying, "See, a dirty conservative can't kiss and hug except as the prelude to sexual conquest; but we enlightened liberals can touch each other's bodies in a loving, but non-sexual way."
...It won't be long before American politicians will be greeting each other as Khrushchev greeted Yuri Gagarin.

Jennifer Keene, Professor and Chair, History Department, Chapman University
This seminar will examine how to use visual evidence to recapture essential debates at five critical moments in American history: the Civil War, the Progressive Era, the Great Depression, World War II, and the Civil Rights Movement. Americans have always used images to communicate with one another. Images are not merely illustrations of history. They are essential primary source documents. Images have shaped American history, influencing both the course of events and our historical memory. Critically analyzing a document requires practice and skill; the same is true for using images effectively as windows on the past. Teaching visually involves contextualizing paintings, photographs, advertisements, political cartoons, and films in their historical moment, uncovering the story of their creation and reception, analyzing how they capture the essence of the national debate underway at a particular historical moment, and seeing how their meaning changes over time. Properly analyzing images also requires linking them to the documents of the era. Teaching visually is not a path to reading less, it is a way to expand our understanding of how images have shaped history and the historical record.
Readings are sent by the Institute to seminar participants. Readings may include:
Sontag, Susan. Regarding the Pain of Others. Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 2002.

Charlie Watts is considered by just about everyone to be the coolest man in rock, but he would be just as happy to be considered one of the coolest men in jazz.
Bringing the sensibilities of a jazz drummer to rock music has always been at the heart of what has made Charlie Watts one of the most respected musicians in the world.
Charles Robert Watts was born on Monday 2 June 1941 at University College Hospital in London and then went to live in Kingsbury, an area of Wembley, but with his father away in the Royal Air Force on wartime duties and his mother working he would often spend time with his grandmother who lived near Kings Cross Station in central London, It was when he was around ten years old that Charlie discovered jazz, and Miles Davis and John Coltrane in particular. It was soon after this that he began to explore the idea of becoming a drummer when he converted an old banjo, with a skin covering, into a snare drum. Charlie had no formal lessons and credits being able to watch great jazz drummers in London's jazz clubs as being the people that taught him how to play drums, properly.
Leaving school in 1957 Charlie went to Harrow School of Art and in 1960 he got a job as a graphic artist with an advertising agency in London. A year later he combined his love of art and jazz by writing a book about Charlie Parker that he called, Ode to a High-Flying Bird, that was eventually published in 1965.
In the evening, while working in the advertising agency, Charlie played drums with a variety of groups including Alexis Korner's Blues Incorporated, a band that Mick Jagger sang with a couple of times. As the fledgling Rolling Stones were coming together to practice they tried to persuade Charlie to become their drummer, but he sensibly stayed with his paying gigs with more established bands. Eventually in early January 1963 Charlie relented, the Stones were finally earning some money and he played his first gig with the band on 12 January at the Ealing Blues Club with the six piece band that included pianist Ian Stewart, bass player Bill Wyman and guitarist Brian Jones.
Away from the Rolling Stones Charlie has found the time to continue to play jazz – he considers jazz to be his principal recreation – with a number of different groups, including a 32-piece band – the Charlie Watts Orchestra as well as working with Ian Stewart in the band Rocket 88 during the 1980s. In the 1990s the Charlie Watts Quintet released several albums, including a tribute to Charlie Parker. Come 2004 and the quintet and expanded to become, Charlie Watts and the Tentet that both recorded and played live.
Throughout the band's recording career and live performances Charlie has been rock solid and despite resigning after every tour since 1969 Charlie continues to be the heartbeat of the Rolling Stones, and not just when he's perched on the drum stool. Everyone respect him for his quiet and polite approach to the business of being a member of one of the most successful bands in history. As a jazzman he understands the power of collaboration, never seeking the limelight he swings and always provides the Rolling Stones with the rock solid foundation.

The Columbia Center for New Media Teaching and Learning (CCNMTL) is partnering with the Jewish Theological Seminary's Davidson Graduate School of Jewish Education, Hebrew Union College - Jewish Institute of Religion, and Yeshiva University to offer an inter-institutional eLearning Faculty Fellowship to support the design and implementation of educational technology projects in the three partner institutions.
The fellowship program will be offered over two years and will target faculty of the schools of education and related disciplines at each institution. Approximately 20 faculty from the three institutions will be selected through an application process to comprise a cohort of fellows.The first fellowship will begin in April of this year.
Each cohort will attend five in-person and five online workshops to learn strategies, tools, and approaches for using educational technologies to improve student engagement and learning. CCNMTL staff will facilitate the in-person workshops, which will be based on seminars on teaching with technology the Center currently offers to Columbia faculty.
Each fellow will design and implement an educational technology project in his/her own teaching with the support of the home institution. Fellows will receive individual assistance with projects through weekly virtual office hours with CCNMTL staff. The fellowship will culminate in two showcase events at which fellows will demonstrate the projects they have developed.
A final component of the partnership is a monthly round-table gathering of the leadership of the three institutions with CCNMTL directors to discuss strategic and tactical directions around educational technologies.
The fellowship is sponsored by the Jim Joseph Foundation, a philanthropic organization dedicated to supporting the education of Jewish youth and young adults in the United States.
The fellowship builds on an existing CCNMTL partnership with JTS launched in 2011 to promote the the use of technology and new media in teaching and learning at JTS.

Helicopter mechanic switches focus to ministry
SAN ANTONIO – On Sunday, Feb. 19, William "Bill" Lord, 52, graduated from Wayland Baptist University with a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Education degree. But for Lord, receiving this degree is just the first stop on what is turning out to be a life-changing journey.
Lord really had no idea what was awaiting him when he stepped through the doors at WBU-San Antonio. After all, he had spent more than 30 years working as a mechanic on helicopters and airplanes and was in line for a manager's position with UPS maintenance department. In fact, it was Lord's supervisor who encouraged him to return to school and get a degree in order to move up the career ladder.
But while sitting through his Old Testament and New Testament classes, which are required of all students seeking degrees at Wayland, Lord felt something he wasn't expecting.
"Wayland requires Old and New Testament courses," Lord said. "I thought I would get them out of the way first. That was probably where I began to recognize that maybe it wasn't me that decided to go to Wayland, but I was being led to Wayland."
Lord originally chose Wayland, knowing it was a faith-based institution, in order to experience something a little different.
"My whole life has been airplanes and helicopters," he said. "That's all I've known since I left home and joined the Marine Corps. They introduced me to helicopters and from there my career has been nothing but that. I chose Wayland to get away from that a little bit. What's the point of going to school if not to expand your horizons?"
Although Lord felt a call in his early classes at Wayland, he still wasn't convinced that he was called to ministry. As he continued through his course work, however, the call became more evident.
"It was a calling out process," he said. "The Lord separated me from that cultural stream that I was in. He kind of carved me out of that and set me up on the bank. All of a sudden I was on the outside of the stream looking in."
That's when Lord realized that God was preparing him for something different. He began making plans to enter Wayland's Master of Christian Ministry program and also started looking at the Master of Divinity program offered by Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary through its campus at Park Hills Baptist Church, Lord's home church, in San Antonio.
He knew, however, to juggle a full master's level class schedule with a full work load can be rather daunting.
"My job at the time was quite demanding," Lord said. "I didn't know that I would be able to stand up under the pressure of a full blown master's program. The only way I could do it was if my job situation changed."
Lord, with the help and encouragement of his wife, Peggy, penned a letter to his boss asking to relinquish some of his job duties and to assign him to a specific shift which would help him decide which school to enroll in based on class schedules and his work schedule.
"Well, my boss didn't send me to school to be a preacher. He sent me to get an education and move on, so there was some resistance on his behalf," Lord said.
Lord asked his boss to assign him to a shift. If his boss gave him a day shift, he would enroll in Wayland's program where he could take night classes. If Lord received an evening shift, he would enroll in Seminary.
"What he came back with was an evening shift with Sunday and Monday off," Lord said. "I would be off on Sunday and could go to church, and I would have all day Monday which is when the seminary meets."
Lord enrolled in Seminary in January and continues to take a full course load, studying as many as 40 hours a week.
"Seminary is a whole lot of work," he said. "I'm a technician by trade, so this is all new to me. The Wayland experience was very new to me and now the seminary is very new to me."
Lord has stayed true to his calling throughout his education experience the last few years. However, he's still not sure where his calling is leading.
"People ask me what it is that I'm going to do," Lord said. "I tell them that it hasn't been revealed to me yet. I don't know how people make those assumptions since I don't know how they get called. I just know that right now, the task in front of me is to prepare for something later."
Lord said the way things have worked out so far has been amazing and he figures things will fall into place in God's timing.
"I don't set the table, I just eat," he said. "I'll just settle in and stay here until God moves me. He seems to be adept at making arrangements that I don't even know about."
Lord does know, however, that he is glad to graduate from Wayland and is amazed that he finished his degree in two years.
"If you had asked me last July if I was going to make the February graduation, I would have probably said I don't think so," Lord said. "But it's like everything else that has happened in the last couple of years … I don't seem to have control over it."

Places in the Heart: Pat Rafter
Forget lounging by the pool: tennis champion Pat Rafter's holidays are action-packed adventures on Sunshine Coast beaches and in the hinterland.
My family moved to the Sunshine Coast from Mount Isa when I was eight. I'm one of nine kids, and someone was always playing sport at weekends, so we just had little adventures, such as going camping, and we were always big swimmers.
When we lived in Mt Isa, we'd drive to Sydney, stopping at beach caravan parks along the way.
From about age 10, I got right into tennis, which pretty much takes over your life. I travel overseas two or three times a year, but I don't feel the need to go anywhere else when I've got time off. When I'm away, I want to go home, for the surfing, golf and beaches. My home is right on the beach and I love it.
I'm a really active person: a holiday is not piña coladas and reading a book. I try to exercise a couple of times a day and I go for a surf first thing.
I took up surfing for a bit of fun after I finished my tennis career. I've got a mountain bike and there are great tracks in the Sunshine Coast hinterland. It's pretty full on. I fall off — I'm bloody hopeless.
I go hard and do all the adventures with my kids, teaching them new skills such as kayaking or exploring marine life. The kids swim and surf, and they're in the local nippers club — they're living one big holiday. Hey, the kids have got it easy!
They'll say, "I don't want to go down to the beach." That's the way kids are.
You just tell them, "Put your shoes on and put your hat on." And they get on the beach and have a ball.

While palm oil expansion continues to cause deforestation and massive greenhouse gas emissions, the certification system for sustainable palm oil (RSPO) just finished its annual meeting. I have been going to these meetings for the past couple years and it is interesting to see how perceptions of Greenpeace have changed over the years.
There have been years when nobody wanted to talk to or seen to be associated with Greenpeace.
Palm oil producers have been afraid that we would expose their bad practices and consumer companies have seen that we were not as excited by the 'green' RSPO standard as they have been. When the first RSPO certified palm oil entered the market in November 2008, Greenpeace launched a report to show that the company was still clearing forests and peatlands.
So the positive approach that Greenpeace took at the most recent RSPO meeting in Singapore was slightly different.
We presented the Scorecard on Palm Oil Producers to show that there really are companies out there that take the necessary steps to break the link between palm oil and deforestation.
While some RSPO members continue to destroy forests and peatlands, habitat of the critically endangered orangutan, others have policies in place to protect forests. The top 3 companies, from Brazil, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, all have policies in place that commit them to producing palm oil in a truly responsible way.
Greenpeace recognises that producing truly sustainable palm oil is no easy task and acknowledges the efforts of producers who are really committed to trying to change their destructive practices.
The company at number 3 in our scorecard, Indonesia's Golden Agri-Resources (GAR), presented their Forest Conservation Policy last year after an extensive Greenpeace campaign. This company has developed, with the help of Greenpeace and the Tropical Forest Trust, a methodology to distinguish forested areas from areas that could be developed for palm oil without harming the environment or impacting climate change.
New Britain Palm Oil Ltd. from Papua New Guinea, our number 2, is looking into a similar approach, while Brazil's Agropalma, the top ranking producer in our scorecard, has had a policy to stop deforestation since 2001.
If other companies would commit to the same, or even more and if the RSPO would also adopt this approach, this could really mean that deforestation for palm oil would finally stop.
This year there is a unique opportunity for the RSPO to finally take the needed measures to move towards a credible certification system: the principles and criteria of the RSPO are being reviewed.
There has also been an ongoing discussion about adding full protection of peatlands and a measure to curb the greenhouse gass emissions from deforestation for palm oil in the RSPO criteria.
Unfortunately, it seems there is still strong opposition from the producers, especially the Malaysian companies wanting to expand into the carbon-rich peatlands of Sarawak.
If the RSPO fails to move towards a credible standard, consumer companies such as Unilever and Kraft will need to take additional measures to ensure that they do not buy palm oil from deforestation.
So, while Greenpeace showcased the good practices at this year's RSPO meeting, it is clear that only a few companies are taking the right steps and this is not enough. Especially while a new threat emerges: the growing expansion of palm oil at the cost of Africa's rainforests.
For example, GAR is one of the main investors in Golden Veroleum (Liberia) Inc.(GVL), a company with large operations in Liberia. GVL is currently facing allegations that it is violating RSPO rules, clearing areas without the proper consent of the local communities.
Human rights activists have filed a complaint with the RSPO, and the RSPO has demanded that the company cease all operations.
The question now is whether GVL will listen to the RSPO, and also its own investor. Or, if in a new and challenging environment like Liberia, the battle for responsibly produced palm oil has to start all over again.
Chances are that next year's RSPO meeting will see Greenpeace back in its old role: exposing how palm oil expansion is still causing deforestation and climate change.
With your help we hope that we'll be able to add more names to our list of companies that are really taking positive steps towards producing palm oil that doesn't come at the cost of the forests or the climate.

A very good article demonstrating that it is possible to have palm oil that does not cause deforestation, yet the challenge to make this the norm looms large.
The scorecard needs to be sent to every buyer of palm oil possible to compel them to source from ethical producers. And we need more producers like AgroPalma and New Britain.

Adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a form of severe lung damage. It is a life-threatening lung condition. ARDS can occur in very ill or severely injured people. It is not a specific disease.
ARDS starts with the tiny blood vessels in the lungs. These vessels leak fluid into the lung sacs. The fluid decreases the ability of the lungs to move oxygen into the body.
ARDS can develop in anyone over the age of 1 year.
|Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
ARDS can be caused by many types of injuries, including:
- Direct injury to the lungs
- Chest trauma, such as a heavy blow
- Aspiration of stomach contents
- Obstructed airways
- High attitude disease
- Tuberculosis
- Oxygen toxicity
- Radiation
- Cardiopulmonary bypass
- Breathing smoke, chemicals, or salt water
- Burns
Indirect injury to the lungs:
- Severe infection
- Massive blood transfusion
- Pneumonia
- Shock
- Burn
- Head trauma
- Severe inflammation of the pancreas—pancreatitis
- Overdoses of alcohol or certain drugs, such as aspirin, cocaine, opioids, phenothiazines, and tricyclic antidepressants
ARDS may occur within few days of a lung or bone marrow transplantation.
Risk Factors
ARDS develops most often in people who are being treated for the conditions listed above. Very few who have these issues will go on to develop ARDS.
ARDS is more common in adults over the age of 65 years. Other factors that may increase your chance of ARDS include:
- Cigarette smoking
- Chronic lung disease
Symptoms often develop within 24-48 hours of the injury. Symptoms begin slowly and worsen with time.
Symptoms may include:
- Shortness of breath
- Fast, labored breathing
- Bluish skin or fingernail color
- Rapid pulse
- Fever
- Chills
- Muscle pain or weakness
- Headache
- Dry Cough
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. People who develop ARDS may be too sick to report their symptoms.
Your bodily fluids and tissues may be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests—to look for oxygen levels, evidence of infection, and markers of heart failure
- Swabs from nose and throat for identifying viruses
- Open lung biopsy
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
- Chest x-ray
- Echocardiogram
- Bronchoscopy
Pulmonary artery catheterization may also be done to to test heart function.
If you are able, talk with the doctor about the best plan for you. Treatment options include the following:
- Treating the underlying cause or injury
- Providing support until the lungs heal:
- Mechanical ventilation—a machine to help you breathe through a tube placed in the mouth or nose, or through an opening created in the neck
- Monitoring blood chemistry and fluid levels
- Oxygen via a face mask or nasal prong
Often, ARDS patients are sedated to tolerate these treatments.
To help reduce your chance of getting ARDS, seek timely treatment for any direct or indirect injury to the lungs.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Apple Inc. posted a weekly gain of 2.8% on Friday even as rival Samsung Electronics unveiled its new smartphone Galaxy S4. The stock also shrugged off a price target cut at Sterne Agee.
Top Tickers Trending
$AAPL: Apple AAPL, +0.30% put in its best week since early February, extending gains for two weeks in a row. Samsung 005930, +1.52% the largest seller of smartphones, late Thursday rolled out Galaxy S4, the latest in its best-selling Galaxy line. The phone boasts a 5-inch touch screen and new "eye-tracking" technology.
In contrast, Samsung's other competitors were having a rough day, with Nokia Corp. NOK, -2.37% down 1.2% and BlackBerry US:BBRY off 0.5%.
Meanwhile, Shaw Wu, an analyst at Sterne Agee, lowered Apple's price target to $630 from $715.
Wu said he is seeing signs that suppliers are scaling back iPhone production plans, likely due to an inventory drawdown ahead of new product launches in the second half of the year.
"In addition, we see evidence of sourcing activity for what appears to be iPhone 5S and a lower-cost iPhone using composite material casing," he said in a report. "With 2 weeks left, we believe AAPL will likely hit the lower end of its guidance. The good news is this is better than most expecting a miss."
$JPM: Bank stocks were active in the wake of the Federal Reserve's second stage of stress tests announced late Thursday. The Fed ordered J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. JPM, -0.35% to resubmit its capital plan in six months for additional review.
The stock was further pressured as the Senate held a hearing on its so-called London Whale trades which resulted in heavy credit derivatives losses.
In a report released the previous day, the Senate accused the bank of ignoring risks and manipulating models involved with the outsize trade, and misleading federal regulators and investors.
$BBT: Shares of BB&T Corp. BBT, +0.81% slid 2.4% after the company failed the stress test, with its dividend and stock buyback plan rejected by the Fed.

Groupon Inc. GRPN, +0.00% shares climbed 6.1% after Bill Miller of Legg Mason Opportunity Trust fund talked up the stock. In an interview with CNBC, Miller said that he was "more attracted to stuff that has warts on it and hair and all that kind of stuff."

Q: Jeffrey, I've noticed women typically write to you but I am a recently divorced man in need of decorating advice. My wife and I were married 26 years and our look was very traditional. I've recently purchased an 1,800square-foot, two-bedroom condo and though I will be taking some of our collected art and furnishings, I don't want the same stuffy living space we had. Nor do I want a contemporary bachelor pad. I want a comfortable, updated condo where I can proudly entertain. Thank you for helping me out.
A: Thank you Matthew for sending me your email. Every week when I read my emails, I wonder if women are the only people with decorating queries. Or if men just feel queer writing in. That said, I'm glad you did.
Eighteen-hundred square feet is a rather large condo, so I am assuming you have a fairly substantial living/dining area.
You don't mention a specific room with which you want help so I am going to tackle the public living space and leave the private ones to you.
Take a good look at the photo I'm providing for inspiration. The room looks masculine and eclectic while at the same time lived in. I get the feeling the occupant of this room has collected items over time and travels. I think this decorative style will work for you, considering you will be mixing old with new.
You don't mention what furniture pieces you are moving in to your new condo but if I were you, wanting a new look, I would let your ex keep the traditional seating pieces. To achieve your updated space, you would be wise to start with clean, linear furniture, like the sofa and two chairs pictured above, and then mix your traditional pieces in amongst them. Perhaps you can take drinks tables or an antique writing desk or console from your previous home. Mixing smaller traditional pieces with new transitional pieces will help to achieve the updated look you're after without turning your back on pieces that probably mean something to you.
And remember not to take "stuff"that you really don't like or want just because 50% may rightfully be yours.
The coffee table pictured may be a bit large for your liking so this is an ideal spot to repurpose an old cherished piece. And if a coffee table is not on your inventory list, consider purchasing an oval one to soften the hard lines.
The gold cabinet on the far wall is actually a bar but if you don't have a cabinet you can substitute it for a console. Hang one of your pieces of artwork (or a mirror) above and add a table lamp or two. The lamps (which you may be travelling with) add instant warmth and atmosphere.
The walls here are covered with a coarse grasscloth -and before you shut me down, I want you to seriously consider adding a textured paper such as this to your walls. It's masculine and stylish and provides an old-is-new-again background to your old and new furnishings. And the ladies will think you hired a designer. Think about it.
The chair in the foreground of this photo (we only see a bit of the back) is actually placed at the dining table, but when entertaining larger crowds can be easily added to the living room mix for additional seating. Keep the palette neutral and everything will seamlessly work together. Pops of colour can be added with decorative pillows and artwork.
It's important with this new phase of life that you love your living environment, Matthew. Don't rush the process and fill your place with pieces that make you exclaim "What was I thinking?" in six months.
Curate your old pieces with new ones and create a space you're proud to call home.
Send your design question to firstname.lastname@example.com

A winner was selected from 45 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
I'm creating a full service real estate brokerage company along with mortgage and title entities. Our primary customer will be Cornell Homes.

PARADISE ISLAND, Bahamas >> More than 20 months removed from his last game, Dylan Ennis finally got onto the court for Villanova.
And the Wildcats immediately reaped the benefits.
Ennis scored 12 of his 14 points in the first half, James Bell led Villanova with 17, and the Wildcats never trailed on the way to beating USC 93-79 on Thursday in the quarterfinals of the Battle 4 Atlantis.
Ennis sat out last season after transferring from Rice, and his debut was delayed this season because of a broken right hand.
Ennis hadn't played since March 20, 2012 for Rice.
The Wildcats (5-0) will play No. 2 Kansas in tonight's semifinals. USC (4-2) will meet Wake Forest in the consolation round.
Pe'Shon Howard scored 23 points for USC, which finished with seven assists and 16 turnovers.
"Villanova played an excellent basketball game," USC coach Andy Enfield said. "Give them a lot of credit. I've been following (coach) Jay Wright for the last 12 years. Just an excellent basketball team and they played at a high level today, especially in the first half."
Villanova made eight 3-pointers in the first half on the way to a 48-37 lead at the break, and an 18-6 second-half spurt put things away.
The Wildcats' lead was down to 59-50 with 11:45 left and swelled to 77-56 over the next 5 minutes. Villanova set a record for single-game points in the 3-year-old event, and held the Trojans to 41 percent shooting.
"They hit us in the mouth," Howard said.

LITTLE ROCK, Arkansas (Reuters) - An Arkansas couple went on a fishing trip last weekend and returned a lot richer.
Stephen and Terri Weaver of Stuttgart, Arkansas, did not find the money dangling on the end of their fishing poles, but it came from two winning lottery tickets.
According to the Arkansas Lottery Commission, the couple was on a fishing trip in northeastern Arkansas and stopped at T-Ricks convenience store in Pangburn, about 60 miles northeast of Little Rock. Stephen Weaver bought a "$1 Million Riches" instant ticket. The ticket won him $1 million.
On their way home, they stopped again at T-Ricks and Terri Weaver bought a "Taxes Paid" instant ticket. It netted the couple an additional $50,000.
"The Arkansas County couple ... plans to pay bills and invest in their retirement with their winnings," a release from the lottery commission said.

… it's slow.
I'm furiously trying to make my way through mountains of books, letters, short stories, poems, notes, summaries, essays, criticism in a (seemingly futile) attempt to get ready for my exams. In two weeks.
So I've put selbu two on hold for the moment in favor of something less demanding: twenty eleven, version two; or, starting over with a tighter gauge.
So far, it seems to be working. Switching to US7/4.5mm needles was a wise choice. Maybe I'm finally learning that if something seems wrong, it probably is?
As for mods, I decided to stick with straight ahead stockinette instead of moss stitch. Not only do I find moss stitch impossibly tedious, no matter how good it looks, but it would certainly interfere with my ability to knit while reviewing.
Stockinette it is. And I'm quite excited about the possibility of a not-so-basic black cardigan to add to my handknit collection.
Today, we woke up to snow. That's how Nashville spells adventure — and everything closed — so plans to walk to the library have been replaced by plans to stay in my pajamas. Alice is not complaining. That look of extreme concentration is brought to you by all of the hungry birds at the feeder.
Now for more coffee and Romanticism!

White privilege is about more than money
In this op-ed, Webb tells how he believes that affirmative action for "people of color" as opposed to just African Americans, needs to end. He believes this because such policies go beyond the original intention of affirmative action - helping African Americans who suffered from the effects of slavery. More importantly, it leaves certain groups of whites at a disadvantage.
I will leave you all to discuss Webb's opinions about affirmative action if you please. What I want to discuss here is his use of the term "white privilege" in the title of his op-ed. Calling white privilege a myth is a rather controversial statement coming from a white writer, and more importantly to me, in his piece Webbs seems to misunderstand the idea of white privilege. White privilege is not a myth, but Webb's apparent misunderstanding of the concept had me distracted every time I read his piece.
Webb seems to believe that only those who are best off financially and educationally possess any form of privilege. Yes, wealthy people and those with higher education are privileged, but to argue that because whites no longer have almost exclusive access to wealth and education that there is no such thing as white privilege demonstrated a narrow and unproductive understanding of privilege.
The whole problem lies here: even in this world where, according to Webb, whites are being set back by policies meant to benefit people of color, if a person of color has a particular job, they may be questioned about their qualifications (did they get it only to meet some diversity quota?). This is evidence of white privilege. A white person would not have the same assumption made about them. It would be assumed that they hold their job on their own merits. I bet Webb would assume things like this. And Webb is white.
Go figure.
[Thanks to Tyler for the link.]
6 comments:
So I think what Webb might be trying to get at is the idea that "Whites" are not a homogeneous group. Many caucasian people who are economically disadvantaged could benefit from the same scholarships, employment rules, and government benefits which people who currently may be better off financially than the aforementioned disadvantaged whites still benefit from, no matter what harm they and their ancestors may or may not have suffered from any institution.
Ironically, part of what you identify as "white privilege" would be ended if affirmative action rules were ended-- that is the idea that a person of a nonwhite ethnicity may have gotten their position not on the basis of qualifications, but rather due to affirmative action. If there were no affirmative action rules, there would be no way for someone to be in a position he/she would not have achieved on qualifications only. Just a thought.
That isn't to say that affirmative action was not a necessary and expedient means of accomplishing a relatively painful (to some) goal at one point in time, but merely that it may have outlived its necessity.
One factor often left out by social researchers is the idea that many times people who are not white males choose jobs which tend to be lower paying due to societal pressures, which simple quotas do not address. Putting a quota on jobs which are not attractive to these candidates will help to cover the symptoms, however it does very little to address the root of the issue-- Why are there so many more white male doctors, lawyers (ironically I know many more women heading for law school than men,) and architects, and so many more female schoolteachers and nurses? yes, it could be because of discrimination in the fields, but more likely it is simply that these are traditional fields for women to work in, and more women feel, for one reason or another (we can leave biological differences versus societal differences for another time) drawn to work in some areas, while men are drawn to others.

As Webb argued in his op-ed, he is for allowing "every American the benefit of a fair chance at the future," which I took as his support for affirmative action for particular groups, an idea further supported by his idea that affirmative action might be kept in place for African Americans, but not for just any people of color or immigrants (just because they are people of color or immgrants).
The problem/consequence, perhaps, with completely ending some form of affirmative action would likely be going back to a hiring/educational system that greatly favors whites because of ingrained stereotypes that whites are inherently better than non-whites at many things. Again, whites have the privilege of not having to deal with racist stereotypes when competing for jobs, etc.
I think you miss a point when you talk about men and women/white people and people of color being "drawn" into different job types: The reasons that people of color, for example, may be drawn into lower paying fields may very well be linked to the history of racism in this country, a legacy that still contributes to high rates of poverty, etc. among these groups. Also, biological v. societal differences are indeed important to address if you're going to bring up the differences between men and women in the kinds of jobs they most frequently do.

I might be misunderstanding, but I think the fact that whites (WASPS particularly) act like they're losing something every time a minority group gains something an example of a long standing "white privilege"? And affirmative action, as far as I understand it, wasn't meant to have a greater number of minorities in higher level positions who may or may not be as qualified as their white competitors. They are as qualified. Affirmative action isn't a "quota" per se. It's just intended to prevent the automatic preference to a white applicant over a minority applicant with the same qualifications. And isn't it be a little counter-intuitive for Webb to say he wants equal opportunity for everyone, but that affirmative action should not be taken towards anyone but African Americans? This alone I would think proves that affirmative action has not "outlived its necessity".

@Melissa: "I might be misunderstanding, but I think the fact that whites (WASPS particularly) act like they're losing something every time a minority group gains something an example of a long standing "white privilege"?"
You're on the right track. This isn't exactly an example of white privilege, but rather, an example of white people refusing to acknowledge their privilege. In a way, though, the ability to ignore racial inequality is a sort of privilege in itself, though, so it's sort of white privilege almost? Whatever.
"And affirmative action, as far as I understand it, wasn't meant to have a greater number of minorities in higher level positions who may or may not be as qualified as their white competitors. They are as qualified. Affirmative action isn't a "quota" per se. It's just intended to prevent the automatic preference to a white applicant over a minority applicant with the same qualifications."
This is essentially a correct description of Affirmative Action. The important bit to get across to people who oppose it or don't understand it is that no unqualified person should ever get a job because of affirmative action. The person hired will meet all the necessary qualifications for the job. If a non-white/male individual applies for a job for which they are qualified, and a white/male applies for the same job and are qualified, or even overqualified, the non-white/male should get hired. If he's not qualified, he won't get the job. It just prevents overqualified whites from getting jobs over qualified nonwhites.
- July 29, 2010 at 3:32 PM
I seem to remember hearing that, at least as it applies to admission to higher learning institutions, affirmative action is essentially a quota. Some schools have minimum numbers to meet when deciding who makes it in. Granted, this was a few years ago when I heard this, so it might not be true anymore. If anyone works/has worked in admissions departments, I'd be interested to know if that's true.
The way I see it, affirmative action is problematic but necessary. When it comes to hiring, I think a job should just go to the person who is most qualified for it. If it could be conclusively proven that racism no longer exists, then it would seem silly to hire someone who is less qualified (but still meeting the minimum requirements) because they are a minority. But that's just the thing. Racism and stereotypes are still prevalent even if they're not as mainstream or obvious as it was 40 years ago. Until someone thinks of something better, affirmative action is needed as a precautionary measure.
- August 6, 2010 at 8:48 AM
Wait, isn't assuming that someone doesn't understand the concept of 'white privilege' because he is white just the same as assuming a person of color has a particular job because of a diversity quota ?

If you're newly in love with a certain someone, your voice could give you away, a new U.S. study finds.
What's more is that since both sexes alter their voices when speaking to lovers versus friends, such variations could be used to detect infidelity, the researchers say.
"It's not just that we change the sound of our voice, but that others can easily perceive those changes," explained researcher Dr. Susan Hughes, an associate professor of psychology at Albright College in Reading, Penn.
In the study, Hughes and her team examined how people alter their voices, or engage in voice modulation, when speaking to romantic partners versus same-sex friends during brief telephone conversations. Researchers recruited 24 callers who were newly in love, or in the honeymoon phase of their relationships. Subjects were asked to call their romantic partners as well as a close same-sex friend and, in both cases, engage in a light conversation, such as "how are you doing?" and "what are you doing?"
The research team then played the recordings to 80 independent raters who judged the samples for sexiness, pleasantness, and degree of romantic interest. Raters were exposed to only the caller's end of the conversation and, in some cases, for only two seconds. Still, raters could correctly identify the lovers from the friends due to the more pleasant, sexier tones callers used when chatting with a lover.
Using spectrogram analysis, the scientists then examined pitch, with findings showing that both men and women tend to mimic the pitch of their romantic partners — women go lower while men go higher. Also researchers used paralanguage analysis, which stripped the samples of their content while maintaining elements such as inflection and intonation. In doing so, raters could sense stress, nervousness, and lack of confidence in the voices of the callers speaking to their lovers, which the researchers attributed to the early stages of romantic love.
"There was vulnerability associated with the voices of those newly in love," Hughes said. "Perhaps people don't want to be rejected."

Charles Barkley seems to have an awful lot of time to talk about his favorite "five" for his cell phone these days, now it's my turn to share my "five"-lakes, that is. By the way, this is not just a BYOB piece (bring your own boat). When asked where I would want to take the family for a houseboating vacation, and meaning a place where we could rent a great boat and kick around for a week or so, the following five make my potential "faves" list.
Most of them have houseboat rental options available. I quizzed my husband about where he would like to go first. Since we didn't see any houseboats on our very favorite place, Turtle Bay on O'ahu where 20 plus foot waves can be found, we agreed on five intriguing lakes. Let's go lake hopping now. Beautiful domestic waters abound here on the mainland. You'll find detailed rental information at www.houseboatrentals.com, and you can search by state on the site to find your perfect spot, but in the meantime here is a sampling.
Lake Cumberland. Ky.
One of the largest man-made bodies of water east of the Mississippi is where you want to be for good fishing and over 63 water-acres for pleasure cruising. You're sure to find the rest and relaxation you have been looking for. While you're resting, do so assured that there is plenty to do when you're ready to get back in the swing of things at the golf course, have some fun riding horses or even just play in the water. You'll find something for everyone at Lake Cumberland.
Some of the rental options available on Lake Cumberland include:
Beaver Creek Resort: www.beavercreekmarina.com
Burnside Marina: www.burnsidemarina.com
Conley Bottom Resort: www.conleybottom.com
Lake Cumberland State Dock: www.statedock.com
WaterWay Adventures, Inc.: www.waterwayadventures.com
Dale Hollow Lake, Ky.
Dale Hollow Lake is full of fun options, and it may be easier to list what isn't found there. You'll find an event for everything from fishing tournaments to street fests and celebrations of history. Think of it as a vacationer's paradise whether you're a retiree, fisherman, a retired fisherman, photographer or are just looking for a beautiful place to relax and get away.
You might find your perfect rental on Dale Hollow at one of the following:
Hendricks Creek Resort: www.hendrickscreek1.com
Sulphur Creek Resort: www.sulphurcreek.com
Sunset Marina: http: www.sunsetmarina.com
Lake Lanier, Ga.
Visit some of the best houseboating water in the south when you choose Lanier just north of Atlanta. Coves and islands for exploring are plentiful with 520 miles of shoreline to relax on. When you're ready to go to shore, you'll find plenty to do whether it be horseback riding or taking a relaxing bike ride. You may even find yourself hiking or playing tennis when not enjoying the 38,000 water acres of this beautiful water playground.
Two rental options for Lanier include:
Carters Lake Marina and Resort: www.carterslake.com
Lake Lanier Islands/Harbor Landing: www.lakelanierislands.com
Shasta Lake, Calif.
This peaceful, beautiful, man-made reservoir with a view of majestic Mount Shasta has the atmosphere you may be looking for if you're ready to relax among the lush greenery and towering trees. The picturesque steep rocky shoreline without beaches is still packed with fun because of the many inlets and coves available to explore. This large boater's paradise invites you to take some time off and enjoy some fishing, hunting and spelunking as in the famed O'Brien area as well.
Some rental options on Shasta Lake are:
Antlers Resort & Marina Inc.: www.shastalakevacations.com
Jones Valley Resort-Shasta Lake Resorts: www.houseboats.com
Lakeview Marina Resort: houseboat-rentals.gordonsguide.com/lakeviewresort

Lake Powell, Utah

Natural bridges include one of the seven wonders of the world, Rainbow Bridge, that Mother Nature has fine-tuned over the years are to be found throughout the 2,000 miles of colorful shoreline. This recreational wonderland also boasts beautiful Glen Canyon, which helps the Colorado River along to the Grand Canyon, as well as the Grand Staircase National Monument.
Here are a few places to try for great rental options:

Happy holidays! Whether you're a Christmas-er, an Hanuakkat, or a Kwanza-hut, Succotash is damned glad to have you. "It's the time of miracles," said Alan Rickman's Hans Gruber in Die Hard and it's true. First of all, we're back in Studio P for the first time in many episodes. So good to have engineer/producer Joe Paulino back behind the controls. Not to mention Bill Haywatt, who has a fresh installment of Boozin' With Bill on tap this time around. Even Kenny Durgess, our booth assistant, is on the job and it's a great way to ring in the holiday season.
I wanted to do something special for the holidays, so Epi44 is our Succotash Christmas Card to the illustrious members of the Pod Mafia. Who ARE the Pod Mafia? A loose collective of podcasters who have struck up a virtual (and sometimes actual) friendship via the web, and have actively worked to cross-promote each others' podcasts. I am pleased and honored to have been dubbed the Podfather by this crew, although I'm aware it's a precarious perch at best and someone else could shake me loose at any time. Nonetheless, for the meantime, as Podfather, it's my pleasure to offer up clips from the assembled members of the Pod Mafia this episode.
One of the best things about getting to do an epi of Succotash in Studio P is that it puts us in proximity to Bill Haywatt's wet bar and give us a chance to present Boozin' With Bill. This time about, that workhorse of radio drops a great post New Year's hangover drink on us which he calls Harry Of The Dog That Bit You. It's named for Harry Morgan, with whom Bill worked on an old radio show called Mystery In The Air, and it's a real doozy.

Happy Holidays From Henderson's Pants!
We have a commercial this episode from our friends at Henderson's. More than a commercial, it's a tale done in the style of the popular Christmas poem, 'Twas The Night Before Christmas. Enjoy!
A Good Run
Our friend Caleb Bacon, host of The Gentlemen's Club podcast, has run down the curtain on that show after 154 episodes. I give him a final salute in the form of a review in This Week In Comedy Podcasts on Splitsider.com but don't despair— Caleb is already prepping to return in February 2013 with his new podcast, Man School! In his farewell episode, Caleb is interviewed as much as he interviews by his guest, That Chris Gore of PodCRASH podcast fame.
The Clips
As I mentioned above, all the clips this week save one are from members of the Pod Mafia.

And I know there are some folks in the Pod Mafia Irregulars that I wanted to clip this episode but there just wasn't time. I WILL clip you guys next epi, but in the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to the folks behind Bonnandobo, The Brit And The American, Clutch & Wiggle, The Random Variety Show and Toggle The Switch!
Happy holidays to everybody (especially those of you who have discovered, listened to, and enjoy our show!), and may you all have a great new year, in which you should remember, for the sake of all that's holy, to pass the Succotash!

Has anyone else given their pups deer antlers as a chew? Usually then come cut in half (so they can get at the dried marrow) and cut in length to the size that you want. They are wonderful! Brooklyn carries hers with her everywhere and they last forever, no kidding. I have a tough chewer and she has been working on her split piece for about a month! They don't splinter, are really safe and dogs love them. It is more of a chew vs. something they ingest (only little shavings of the marrow really come off which keep her interested, the rest "wears down", so they won't "eat" they whole thing if that makes sense. They don't really swallow any of it. Here is a link where I get Brooklyn's, but they also sell them at pet stores and online:
When I order mine, I just message her and tell her what size I want for Brooky. And she shipped all the way to Australia and even sent me a free extra one. It was so worth it and not expensive at all. Oh, and they are naturally shed (so no killing is done in antler chewing!!)
You can google them too, lots of stores sell different kinds, but this woman splits them, which keeps Brooky interested MUCH longer

I think this would make the kite so much better. Haha someone should custom fabricate it.
Try a Nemises HP or a Yarga Pro and see the difference a cuben fibre thin leading edge makes. Faster turning, higher jumping, better upwind. Might lose a little stability? But so be it.

The state's border crossing at Tijuana is the busiest in all of Mexico. The international port of Ensenada, located on the Pacific coast, is a regular stop for cruise ships. Since it is the only deepwater port in Baja California, it acts as the primary hub for importing and exporting goods throughout the region.

May 14, 2014 18:36 ET
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - May 14, 2014) - A correction from source is being issued with regards to the Condor Petroleum Inc. release disseminated at 18:11 May 14th, 2014. The title of the release has been corrected to reference the correct quarter.
Condor Petroleum Inc. ("Condor" or the "Company") (TSX:CPI) is pleased to announce the release of its Unaudited Interim Consolidated Financial Statements for the period ended March 31, 2014, together with the related Management's Discussion and Analysis ("MD&A"). These documents will be made available under Condor's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the Condor website at www.condorpetroleum.com. All financial amounts in this news release are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise stated.
Q1 2014 highlights include:
Condor is a Canadian oil and gas company with a 100% interest in‐the exploration rights to the 3,777 square kilometer Zharkamys West 1 Territory located in Kazakhstan's Pre Caspian basin. The Company is listed on the TSX under the symbol "CPI".
Advisory on Forward-Looking Statements
All statements other than statements of historical fact may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are generally identifiable by the terminology used, such as "seek", "anticipate", "believe", "intend", "expect", "plan", "estimate", "continue", "project", "predict", "budget", "outlook", "may", "will", "should", "could", "would" or other similar wording. Forward-looking statements in this press release include, but are not limited to: information concerning the commencement and timing of planned drilling operations; the timing and ability to execute contracts with drilling equipment suppliers and providers; results provided are not necessarily indicative of long term performance or ultimate recovery; projections with respect to crude oil production; and the timing and ability to obtain various approvals and permits including production contracts. Forward-looking statements involve the use of certain assumptions that may not materialize or that may not be accurate and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, which may cause actual results or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such information. Condor's operations are also subject to certain other risks and uncertainties inherent with oil and gas operations and additional information on these and other factors that could affect Condor's operations and financial results. These factors are discussed in greater detail under Risk Factors - Risks Relating to the Company in Condor's Annual Information Form for the year-ended December 31, 2013 which may be accessed through the SEDAR website (www.sedar.com). The Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward- looking statements are reasonable, but no assurance can be given that these expectations will prove to be correct and such forward-looking statements should not be unduly relied upon. The Company does not undertake any obligation to update or to revise any of the forward looking information, except as required by applicable law.
This news release includes information pertaining to internal Condor generated estimates of Company resources effective February 8, 2013, which were prepared by a qualified reserves evaluator in accordance with National Instrument 51-101.
Statements relating to resources are deemed to be forward looking statements, as they involve the implied assessment, based on certain estimates and assumptions, that the resources described exist in the quantities predicted or estimated. The resource estimates of Condor's properties described herein are estimates only. The actual resources may be greater or less than those calculated. Estimates with respect to resources that may be developed and produced in the future are often based upon volumetric calculations, probabilistic methods and analogy to similar types of resources, rather than upon actual production history. Estimates based on these methods generally are less reliable than those based on actual production history. Subsequent evaluation of the same resources based upon production history will result in variations, which may be material, in the estimated resources.
Prospective Resources disclosed herein are those quantities of petroleum estimated, as of a given date, to be potentially recoverable from undiscovered accumulations by application of future development projects. Prospective Resources have both an associated chance of discovery (geological chance of success) and a chance of development (economic, regulatory, market and facility, corporate commitment or political risks). The chance of commerciality is the product of these two risk components. These estimates have not been risked for either chance of discovery or chance of development. There is no certainty that any portion of the Prospective Resources will be discovered and, if discovered, there is no certainty that it will be developed or, if it is developed, there is no certainty as to either the timing of such development or whether it will be commercially viable to produce any portion of the resources. Unless otherwise stated, any reference to Prospective Resources refers to Gross, Mean Recoverable, Prospective Resources (Unrisked).
The TSX does not accept responsibility for the adequacy or accuracy of this news release.

The goals for the first two years of language study include increasing the level of proficiency in beginning and intermediate language students, working towards a closer fit with the developing Language Across the Curriculum (LAC) program, and meeting the needs and interests of the majority of students so that they will find the language requirement stimulating and useful. We believe that language learning is and should be fun in every sense of the word, and we hope that our courses live up to this. Our special topics courses (GERMAN 232) are meant to provide an introduction to the discourse and substance of various disciplines in German and thus become stepping stones to LAC courses and to coursework outside of the German concentration proper. These special topics include courses on German politics and economics, history, music, art, anthropology, film, literary topics, engineering, and mathematical and scientific German. Upon completion of the fourth-term course, students are strongly encouraged to pursue an internship or study abroad in Germany. The German department and the Office of International Programs provide extensive assistance to students interested in doing this: students who go each year come back excited about their experience, and speaking excellent German.
Intermediate and advanced courses are designed both to enhance language skills and to explore central issues in all areas of German Studies. These courses are open not just to concentrators and minors but also to all students who meet prerequisites regardless of concentration area. Students who enter the University with a background in the German language are strongly urged to continue their study of the language without interruption during their first and second years.

With good reason only a small percentage of people pursue and complete a doctoral degree. Earning a doctoral degree demonstrates attainment of the highest levels of knowledge and thinking available in formal education. The work is rigorous, challenging, and time consuming.
It's best to chunk challenging tasks into doable parts. You can think of doctoral studies are a series of hoops to jump through… taking admissions tests, getting admitted, taking coursework, passing comprehensive exams, conducting dissertation research. But the pursuit of a doctoral degree is much more than jumping through hoops and completing products. While those earning a doctoral degree reap tangible benefits such as increased earning potential and professional opportunities, the processes involved can also be exceptionally rewarding in many other intangible ways.
The cognitive challenges presented during a rigorous doctoral program can drive students (along with faculty) to develop and grow. Synthesis, critical analysis of historical and current ideas, debate, application of ideas to professional contexts, and pursuit of new information are hallmarks of this level of learning. For many, these sorts of cognitive challenges are highly motivating. A love of learning and doctoral studies often goes hand in hand.
The professional and personal relationships built during doctoral studies will last a lifetime. Students and faculty spend time in the "trenches" together and the collaboration, support, and development of ideas cement relationships that pay multiple dividends. Many who earned degrees years ago remain in contact with professors and fellow students. The semi-cohort model employed in SPU's doctoral programs, along with close interactions built with faculty members during mentoring and dissertation processes, ensures rewarding relationships for years to come.
Doctoral studies should be viewed holistically and the multiple rewards of the journey, along with the more tangible benefits, are to be cherished.

Some of the mistakes are quite side splitting. But, in general, it's something that makes me roll my eyes (not all the way round the back mind) far more than it makes me chuckle in a good old fashioned way.
What do you think?
Oh Thank you!! that's awesome!
i think he's letting quantity overcome quality. must tell him.
yes agree with you.

I was recently directed towards this by a friend and figured it was worthy of being shared to spark some questions/discussion.
I wonder how many of the newer members would be able to see the difference, as well as some of the older members.
And just some clarification on what a homonym is: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/homonym

The movie idiocracy does a funny job of predicting this. In it the president is an ex-wrestler with giant pecs that always brandishes assault rifles. It is a B movie but is true in so many scary ways. This image is one of my favorites from the movie.

Vathi is the island capital and the port. It is a preserved traditional settlement with beautiful houses with tile roofs and picturesque alleys. The Venetian influence is very significant. The largest part of the town was restored or reconstructed after the disastrous earthquake of 1953. At the entrance of the port you will find the island of Lazaretos with the chapel of Sotiras (1668).
What to see in the town:

This was a review by the Miami New Times for the AlukarD project I was a part of. If you don't know of AlukarD it was this weird, rock, punk, hip hop thing I did with Level from Miami and a bunch other Sweet Water hooligans. They're great peoples and it was by far the most fun I had with any of my experimental projects. To check out the AlukarD project you can go to the link below.
Alukard celebrates its debut full-length release at the Vagabond this Thursday
After a seemingly endless heyday, rap-rock eventually became one of the most reviled musical artifacts of the end of the last millennium. But it's been more than a decade since then. Fred Dursthas disappeared from everywhere except Twitter, and critical darlings such as Cage are starting to rhyme over guitars again. So the timing of Miami band Alukard's debut full-length, One Shot, seems fortuitous. To lump it in with the crappy nu-metal-with-scratching of two decades ago, though, would be seriously wrong.
First, there is no DJ in Alukard, and the group's style is more diverse than one might initially expect. The band members have dubbed it "305 rock," and it's a punk- and hardcore-fueled brew that still occasionally dabbles in ska, acoustic balladry, and even a touch of New Wave. Over all of this, a twin attack of MCs seems to barely control and egg on a joyous chaos.
One Shot is clearly the product of much labor and love. Released on the band's own imprint, Labeless Records, it's clearly conceived as a total package, an anomaly in today's download-by-track music landscape. The disc weighs in at a for-these-times hefty 15 tracks, complete with an intro and an outro with a hidden track. The best ones are the most balls-out. Songs such as "44 Kaliber Love Letter," "Molotov Cocktease," and "The 5th" hinge on furious blasts of guitar stops and starts that crescendo into epic choruses and breakdowns; it's the kind of thing you would want to listen to before an MMA bout.
The real stars here, though, are MCs Level and E. Grizzly, who have something Durst and company never had: quality rapping and flow. Level, aBrooklyn native who also plays rhythm guitar for the group, is particularly skilled, able to switch among Zack de la Rocha-style incantations, a soaring melodic croon, and a half-grizzled bark. (With that last voice, he would do well as a hardcore frontman.) Grizzly, meanwhile, hails from Philly and boasts a serious Northeastern flavor, floating in and out of the mix to keep the energy level maxed out. The band, too, is surprisingly tight; lead guitarist Stuntman Steve especially shreds, with a few searing, thrash-worthy solos.
Things occasionally slow down on One Shot, with a pseudo-love song in "On Our Way" and a strummy flight of stardom fantasy in "Just Maybe." These are perfectly adequate but unnecessary: Alukard is best with its levels at 11. Hipster music this ain't, but the band's audible passion and dedication to its hometown might win you over in spite of yourself.

I still have trouble interpreting crits because a lot of times, I get suggestions, but don't know how to follow through with them. But I thought it would be a great exercise to paint this sketch. It was a thought that just suddenly bugged me yesterday. I wanted to know what Fleming's commissioned Bond sketch would look like as a real person... flesh tone, facial structure, and all that. Everything I needed to practice on anyway. I didn't paint over the sketch; I drew it as well. I wanted to practice my observational skills, experiment with both drawing and painting tools in Painter, and interpret the structure of a head. Hope this doesn't count as plagiarism. I treated the actual drawing as a still life. Any feedback for an artist who wants to learn would be greatly appreciated! Unfortunately I didn't realize until too late how small it actually is, so this has been enlarged. Don't like the blurriness, but on the other hand, it lends a bit of an antique, art nouveau look to it...

What i already know:
- MInt KDE is always one release or so "behind" kubuntu and based upon it.
- It comes with DVD and more software out of the box
What is changed, what is customized? What's the real difference.
I want to say boldly that is is also critic on Mint because things like this should be mentioned in the FAQ easy accessible to everyone. I mean top distro and only 6 pionts in FAQ not even mentioning the differences for the main Desktop (Mate, Cinnamon ... ) confused? I also watched for sticky threads about something like this - nothing.
