Beaten down Christians including pastors from their pulpits are bemoaning what they describe as the slow death of Christian influence in today's society which makes many soon-to-be-defeated Christians wring their hands in despair while whimpering,, "What's the use?" And as a result of giving up and giving in, they are doing NOTHING to change that perception by positive action such as that being exhibited nationally by "Team 99."
Rev. Tyrone Holmes, pastor of the newly formed, His Praise Worship Center, in Antioch, California, preached a powerful eye-opener Sunday about defeating the lie with truth. He said we bite into the devil's lies like Eve bit into the apple which brought chaos for her and Adam, whom she convinced to take a bite as well, causing chaos for every generation since.
Then, Pastor Tye said, "And like Sleeping beauty, we bite into that apple and fall asleep while everything goes on around us unopposed when we should be standing strong and proclaiming truth.
Next he intrdouced a young man named Larry who told about an event taking place at an area mall called, "Team 99" that is bringing truth to young people all over America. This writer went last evening to check it out.
In the parking lot of the Sommersville Towne Center, a mall in Antioch, a huge circus type tent is set up with a trailer and 3 semi-trucks. The 'air structured' tent, has no poles or inflatable air devices, but stands with a spring like pop-up sort of structure holding it up.

So now we know what a Charlie Sheen-style PSA would look like.
The pretty much divorced "Major League" star took a break from rehab Thursday to hit baseballs at UCLA's diamonds with a crew that included pros Coco Crisp and Milton Bradley, TMZ reported.
Afterward, Sheen gave a quickie speech on life lessons to members of the college squad practicing nearby.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"Stay off the crack, drink chocolate milk, enjoy your moment," he said to laughs, according to video posted on TMZ.com. "That's all I got. Have fun."
A UCLA spokesperson later told gossip site x17 Sheen was "not invited to speak to the team," but had done so on his way off the field.
The public appearance comes as Sheen is reportedly gearing up to return to the set of his top-rated CBS show, "Two and Half Men."
"We are thinking Charlie will be going back to work two weeks from today," lawyer Yale Galanter told E! News on Monday.
"Men" has been on hiatus since Sheen began his third stint in rehab in 12 months on Jan. 29, a day after he was hospitalized for abdominal pains.
The hospitalization followed a reported 36-hour bender with porn stars at Sheen's home, the latest example of the actor making headlines in recent months for alleged wild partying.
"I have a lot of work to do to be able to return the support I have received from so many people," Sheen said in a statement last week.

You know it's going to be a rich seam of chavtastic splendour:
Drivers watched in disbelief after a woman was punched during a row over a car parking space on the first day of the sales in Hull.So, safety ropes tied off, helmet on, let's go spelunking!
One woman punched another in the car park at Tesco in St Stephen's Shopping Centre as carloads of shoppers descended on the city centre for the Boxing Day sales.
hcfchcfcYes, yes indeed it would...
Just think two teachers lost their jobs for correctly describing such types.
If it was caught on CCTV it would be interesting to see it on Look North."
CallMeSirThis is certainly true, as MacHeath points out, it seems to be unique to large shopping areas and sales, no matter where they are.
"Good old fashioned road rage, but as usual the HDM who never write anything positive about Hull try and act like this is unique to Hull, you couldn't make it up unless you write for the Mail."
But as we know, a comment thread never really catches light until an involved party joins it, so...
annonimous1And we're off!
"for all your information!! first of all the git driving the car ran into me!! not once but twice!! then the passenger had the cheek to call me a fat sl*g!! ye ok i might be big but so what have most of you looked in the mirror? at least im trying to do something about it!! and as for what the mail has published is mostly lies due to the interfering woman from another car that just wanted to get a quick name for herself, and started offering me out! i'm not sorry, she got what she deserved, if she hadn't have insulted me in such a nasty way maybe she wouldn't have got a good hiding!! and when i told her not to call me that she grabbed me!! i was only defending myself.
anyone else got anything to say...?"

She is most famously known for her legendary ride while naked through Coventry to protest her husband's high taxes on the populace. That this could have actually occurred is very doubtful. It is not noted by any contemporary chronicler and it would have been quite newsworthy certainly. The story is first recited about 200 years after her probable death. Some sources say that Leofric and Godiva founded the monastery at Coventry, others that they expanded one which was already there. It is alleged that [[Aelfgar, Earl of Mercia|Aelfgar]] (who is known from the ASC entry below to be Leofric's son), was also Godgifu's son. Aelfgar was made Earl of East Anglia in 1051 (ASC 1051). He was outlawed and joined forces with [[Gruffydd, King of Wales|Gruffydd]] (ASC 1055). He was reconciled and restored to his earldom. He succeeded his father upon the later's death in 1057 (ASC 1057), but didn't enjoy his Earldom long. He was outlawed again and is said-to-have died in 1059. Aelfgar is supposed to have had two sons Edwin and Morcar and a daughter Ealdgyth (Edith) who is said-to-have married Gruffydd ap Llewellyn who was Ruler of Gwynedd and Powys from 1039 and eventually by 1055 King of all Wales, united under him. That there was an alliance between Aelfgar and Gruffydd is shown by the ASC entries, which however do not specifically mention a marriage, or any relationship between Aelgfar and Gruffydd. Edith and Gruffydd's daughter Nest is said-to-be that Nest who is known to be the wife of Osbert FitzRichard. She is said to have been born in 1058 and gave birth to at least two children. All of this needs to be confirmed or denied by primary research. ==Primary sources== ===Anglo-Saxon Chronicle=== *Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, G.N. Garmonsway (tr,ed).

Unless it can be shown this is not earl Leofric's son, it would be the earliest record for him [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+1531 Citation]. He is also a witness as 'Aelfgar nobilis' in the 'probably authentic' S1019 (dated to 1049) which his father 'Leofric dux' as well as 'Godwine dux' and 'Harold dux' also witnessed [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+1019 Citation]. The 1049 date suggests that assigning him an earldom before then is probably incorrect, and that Florence is probably right in dating the start of Aelfgar's 'temporary' earlship to Sep 1051 (after Godwine had fled to Flanders). **"ASC document S1042 (20/24 May 1065) - noted as probably authentic - may be the earliest mention of son Eadwine as earl - 'Eadwine dux'. This record would also prove that Morcar had not yet been named to replace earl Tostig/Tosti. [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=seek&query=S+1042 Citation]. This is consistent with ASC's statement that Morcar/Morkar was named earl 'the eve of St. Simon's and St. Jude's mass' in 1965 [http://books.google.com/books?id=4jEIAAAAQAAJ&pg=coverpage#PPA438,M1 citation], which Florence dates to 28 Oct 1065 [http://books.google.com/books?id=gpR0iz5GjYgC&pg=RA1-PA486&vq=godiva#PRA1-PA167,M1 Citation] **"If one presumes that Aelfgar's sons Eadwine and Morcar were both of age when acting as earls in 1065 (one being of course older), and that dau Aeldgyth/Ealdgyth was a mother abt 1057, Aelfgar was prob a father and m. by 1040 if not earlier. If Aelfgar was the witness to the 1045 will (which presumably required him to be of age), that suggests he was b. at least by 1025. He was d. bef 20/24 May 1065, when his son Eadwine had succeeded him as earl. **If one instead accepts the suggestion that Eadwine and Morcar were mere 16 and 18 year-old teenagers when named earls (proof not seen), they would have been b. as late as 1046 and 1048. This could move Aelfgar's marriage date closer to 1045 dependant on the birthdate presumed for Ealdgyth. The brothers would then be 17 and 19 when Florence writes that on the eve of 20 Sep 1066, "before the king's arrival, the two brothers, Edwin and Morcar, at the head of a large army, fought a battle with the Norwegians on the northern bank of the river Ouse, near York.". If they were indeed brash young teenagers who wouldn't take advice from anyone, that could explain why they lost that battle. 5 days later, Harold defeated the same enemy at Stanford Bridge. Killing, among others, 'earl Tosti', the man whose earldom of Northumbria had been granted Morcar les than a year earlier." ==="Florence" (John) of Worcester=== *[http://books.google.com/books?id=gpR0iz5GjYgC The Chronicle of Florence of Worcester, with the Two Continuations], Thomas Forester (tr).

"While we can't prove her b. and m. dates, Domesday Book provides proof she d. aft 14 Oct 1066 Battle of Hastings. "[Nottingham Domesday], i, 249r (11-37) Robert of Stafford; Madeley (in Checkley). TRW Robert of Stafford holds a half hide in Madeley, and Wulfheah holds from him. Godgifu held it TRE. She even held it after the coming of King William into England, but she could not withdraw from her land." If the translation can be trusted, this proves she d. after Harold's death at Hastings. The statement also proves her ownership status was sharply reduced after the conquest (suggesting her lands had been confiscated). See [http://books.google.com/books?id=YpI9-3hPiYkC&pg=PA454&dq=godgifu+1066+domesday&sig=6xVYj7YZMsv1rzxKfyggzMQjFtg#PPA240,M1 link]

The Lincolnshire Domesday Book starts with a notable statement of the king's special laws (and 1086 real estate tax rate) applicable to all properties in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. It also has this very important statement "Here is noted who had [i.e. TRE] soke and sake and toll and team and the king's custom of two pennies [i.e. full property rights]; the Archbishop of York over his manors; the Countess Godgifu over Newark Wapentake; Ulf Fenisc over his land; the Abbot of Perborough over Collingham; the Abbot of Burton; Earl Hugh over Markheaton (Derbysh.); the Bishop of Chester; Toki; Swein son of Svavic; Siward Barn; Wulfric Cild; Alsige of Illing; Leofwine son of ASlwine; Azur son of Svala; Countess Aelfgifu; Countess Gode; Alsige son of Karski over Worksop; Henry de Ferrers over Ednaston [Derbysh],Doveridge [Derbysh]and Brailsford [Derbysh]; Walter d'Aincourt over Branby, Morton [Derbysh] and Pilsley (in North Wingfield) [Derbysh]; [total of 19 owners with some interesting associations]. Of these, none could have the earl's [presumably earl Harold, who was never identified as king in Domesday] third penny TRE, unless by his consent, and that for as long as he should live, except for the Archbishop of York, Ulf Fenisc and Countess Godgifu." This proves Godgifu survived her son Aelfgar, and that she held superior rights to every other property owner except two - the Archbishop of York and Ulf Fenisc. [Related question - who was Ulf Fenisc to be so highly ranked?] To hold the earl's third pennie would seem to date the record to the short-lived reign of 'earl' Harold. Aelfgar's widow, Countess Aelfgifu, is also proven to be alive on the date of this record. See [http://books.google.com/books?id=YpI9-3hPiYkC&pg=PA454&dq=godgifu+1066+domesday&sig=6xVYj7YZMsv1rzxKfyggzMQjFtg#PPA217,M1. link]"
 ===Orderic Vitalis=== *John P Ravilous in a posting to Gen-Med 16 Aug 2007 quotes Orderic Vitalis : 'Earl AElfgar built a monastery at Coventry...... And Godiva, his pious countess, lavished all her treasure upon the church: sending for goldsmiths she gave them her whole store of gold..... These parents, so devoted to God and beneficent to the church, had a progeny both fair and greatly to be praised: Edwin, Morcar, and one daughter called Edith, who married first Gruffydd king of the Welsh and after his death Harold king of England.' [Chibnall, ed. The Ecclesiatical History of Orderic Vitalis, Book IV, p. 217.] And then John goes on to say :"Orderic was wrong on several details to be sure (Godiva as countess of AElfgar is somewhat noticeable). Sorting out what is wrong from what is correct is an issue; see Part III, p. 139, where Orderic previously stated of Harold and his dealings with Edwin and Morcar, that 'he had taken to wife their sister Edith. She had formerly been the wife of Gruffydd, a great Welsh prince, and had born him Bleddyn the heir to the throne and a daughter called Nest.' Bleddyn was a successor to Gruffydd, but was Gruffydd's half-brother and not his son. The statement there was a daughter Nest does ring true, given what (little) we know of the first generations of the descendants of Gruffydd and Ealdgyth." *Clive West in a posting to Gen-Med 22 Aug 2007 quote Orderic Vitalis : "The Earls Edwin and Morcar, sons of the great Earl Aelfgar, were close friends and adherents of Harold (Godwin) and gave him help in their power; for he had taken to wife their sister Aldgyth. She had formerly been the wife of Gruffydd, a great Welsh prince and had born him Bleddyn and a daughter called Nest." (Historia Ecclesiastica Book III) ===William of Jumieges=== **John P Ravilous in a posting to Gen-Med 16 Aug 2007 states : "In addition to Orderic Vitalis, we also have a statement by William of Jumièges concerning the parentage and marriages of Ealdyth. E. A. Freeman quoted William of Jumièges (vii. 31) in stating that Harold Godwinsson married Aldith, daughter of Earl Al[f]gar, after the death of her 1st husband Gruffydd: "Grithfridi quoque conjugem Aldith, praeclari Comitis Algari filiam, sibi uxorem junxit. " [E. A. Freeman, The History of the Norman Conquest of England (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1870), II:659] ===Liber Eliensis=== Peter Stewart, posting on Gen-Med [[Aug 24]], 2007 provides the text from _Liber Eliensis_ , book II, chapter 81:
In diebus Leofrici abbatis, regnante Canuto, quedam femina, Godiva nomine, cuiusdam comitis derelicta fuit, que post ipsius obitum bona sua ecclesiis divisit, ut ad meritorum suorum participes forent apud Deum. Ad sponsam domini Iesu 起eldre餫m orationum excubias actitans, loci amenitate et fratrum devotione in maximum erga eos ascenditur amorem, unde de suo iure aliqua rura, sed precipua, beate virgini et Deo illic ministrantibus donavit et in testamento Anglice confirmavit, quorum hic nomina memorantur: 苨tre, Fanbrege, Terlinges" [edited by E.O. Blake (London, 1962) p. 150].
 **(In the time of Abbot Leofric, in the reign of Canute, there was a certain woman named Godiva, widow of an earl, who after his death divided her possessions amongst churches so that they might partake in her merits before God. She often attended the prayer vigils for Aethelthryth, bride of the lord Jesus, and from the amenity of the place and the devotion of the monks increased in her very great love for them, out of which she gave some lands that she held in her own right, special properties, to those serving the blessed Virgin and God in that house, and confirmed this in her testament, written in English; the names of these estates are recorded here: (High) Easter, (South) Fambridge, Terling [all in Essex].) **Blake noted that "If the references to Abbot Leofric and Cnut are correct the bequest must have been made between c.1022 and c.1029 and this cannot be the famous Godgifu, the wife of Earl Leofric of Mercia, as he did not die before 1057, nor the Godgifu, wife of Earl Siward". However, _Liber Eliensis_ was composed late in the 12th century, so that accuracy of chronological detail long before is hardly to be expected. **There is no other reference to an earl's widow named Godiva in the text, and none at all to Earl Leofric. However see next Peter Stewart posting to Gen-Med 25 Aug 2007 states : "...the same woman with a devotion to the nun Ætheldreth is clearly the subject of a second chapter, no. 83 in book 2 (page 151), as follows:
"Tunc restat edicere, qualiter fidelis Domini Godiva Ælfricum episcopum et Leofricum abbatem de Ely per scripta salutavit et quod de salute sua eis ostendere voluit. Sic quoque ait: O domini mei, ego infelix mulier, quamvis circa salutem anime mee minus provide intenderim et tempus exitus mei instat, cum adhuc licet operari, beatitudini vestre insinuo, quid ad dominam meam sacratissimam virginem Æðeldreðam in Ely constituo fieri de bonis meis atque concedo. Hoc est, terram de Berchinges, que mihi iuris est parentum hereditate, illic perpetualiter impertior, ut apud eos mei iugiter memoria sit."

(Then it remains to establish how the Lord's faithful Godiva greeted Bishop Ælfric and Abbot Leofric of Ely in writing, and what she determined to lay before them with regard to her salvation. She expressed herself thus: O my lords, I, an unhappy woman, with however little prescience I have exerted myself to save my soul, now that the time of my death is near, since making amends is allowed me, I put to your reverences what I am arranging to be done with my possessions and what I am bequeathing to my lady the most holy virgin Ætheldreth in Ely. This is, the estate of Barking, which is mine by right of parental inheritance, is granted in perpetuity, in order that my memory may be held amongst them always).
 *"Blake noted to this passage, "Perhaps the same as the Godgifu of ch. 81" - this seems more than likely to me - "The bishop is probably Ælfric II of Elmham who succeeded sometime after 1022 and died in 1038...and the outer limits for the date of this bequest are no more closely defined than by the probable dates of Leofric's tenure of the abbacy 1022 x 1029". *"Given the specific indications twice over that this Godiva lived in the time of Abbot Leofric, and the account that she wrote to him and to a named bishop who was dead in 1038, it appears that Godiva the countess of Earl Leofric of Mercia cannot be the woman in question. The late 12th-century monk was probably taking his information from records, copies or originals, held in the abbey, including this lady's will that he mentioned as written in English and perhaps her letter that if quoted directly was a separate document, or maybe a translation prepared for her in Latin because it was intended for important churchmen and not for her family. *"It's also possible that this Godiva was childless, since "infelix" used by women can mean "barren" as well as "unhappy", and that might make sense in the context of her testament, although describing oneself as miserable over not being better prepared spiritually for the afterlife was conventional. " *Note: that the combination : Easter, Fambridge and Terling is also represented in that same sequence on the spurious charter S1051 [http://www.anglo-saxons.net/hwaet/?do=find&type=charter&page=&archive=&kingdom=&king=&sawyer=&text=Terling&display=JUST_BLURB here] (wsj) *Terry Booth, in a posting to Gen-Med 2 Sep 2007 states : "The person referred to in the Godgifu 'Liber Eliensis' record may be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Etheldreda St. Æthelthryth of Ely], from whose worship apparently derives the word 'tawdry'. The following Domesday record also suggests that Godgifu of Ely may have survived to the time of King Edward, since she would seem a match to this Rendlesham, Suffolk property owned by Hervey de Bourges TRW.
Godgifu, a free woman commended half to St Æthelthryth [of Ely] and half to Eadric of Laxfield , held Rendlesham with 60 acres as a manor. Then 2 ploughs, now 1; 2 acres of meadow. 1 villan. Then as now worth 20s. 1 free man and half a [free man] under the same commendation [held] 10 acres and half a plough in the same valuation. Bernard d'Alençon holds this from Hervey [de Bourges].

 **An alternate translation of this same record, from 'Domesday Book and the Law', Robin Flemming; 1998; Cambridge, page 444 reads : "Hervey de Bourges, Rendlesham. TRE Godgifu, a free woman half commended to Ely and half to Eadric of Laxfield, held sixty acres of land in Rendlesham. Now Bernard d'Alencon holds it from Hervey de Bourges.

Which, among other things claims the Chronicle ascribed to Florence was actually writen by John of Worcester from 1124 to 1140 instead of Florence who died 1118. This attribution would allow relaxing her dates, since she could be as much as a generation younger than previously thought.
"Among his other good deeds in this life, he and his wife, the noble countess Godgiva, who was a devout worshipper of God, and one who loved the ever-virgin St. Mary, entirely constructed at their own cost the monastery there [Coventry], well endowed it with land, and enriched it with ornaments to such an extent, that no monastery could be then found in England possessing so much gold, silver, jewels, and precious stones."

 *The 1985 EB has this to say
fl c 1040-1080, Anglo-Saxon gentlewoman famous for her legendary ride while nude through Coventry, Warwickshire

Godiva was the wife of Leofric, earl of Mercia, with whom she founded and endowed a monastery at Coventry. The chronicler Florence of Worcester (d. 1118) mentions Leofric and Godiva with respect, but does not refer to the ride. There is no evidence connecting the rider with the historical Godiva.

The earliest extant source for the story is the 'Chronica' (under the year 1057) of Roger of Wendover (d. 1236). He recounts that her husband, in exasperation over her ceaseless imploring that he reduce Coventry's heavy taxes, declared that he would so if she rode naked through the croweded marketplace. She did so, her hair covering all of her body except her legs. Ranulf Higdon (d.1364) in his 'Polychronicon', says that as a result Leofric freed the town from all tolls save those on horses. An inquiry made in the reign of Edward I shows that at the time no tolls were paid in Coventry except on horses. A later chronicle assets that Godiva required the townsmen to remain indoors at the time fixed for her ride. Peeping Tom, a citizen who looked out his window, apparently became a part of the legend in the 17th century. In most accounts he was struck blind or dead.

- When there are too many people on one panel: Panels of more than three people are fraught with peril for the speaker and the audience. You've got to allow extra time for introductions and Q&A, and, knowing they have diminished time, many speakers will simply talk past the limit. (I once had an organizer ask me to join a panel of 8, and each of us were to get 2.5 minutes to speak. No way!) If you're tempted: Ask yourself what value you can add in such a short time slot.
- When the format's prescribed too tightly: If you prefer being able to walk around the room instead of stand behind a lectern, take questions at the top rather than the bottom of the presentation, or any other variation on the standard, be sure the organizers know that and can accommodate it. If the format's already determined for you, think through whether it really meets your needs and lets you shine.
- When there's not enough time to prepare: On a few occasions--including one of my best talks--I've been asked to step in at the very last moment, and I have. (To find out how to pull this off, read "Speaker on Ice: When you need to wing it.") I'm more concerned when the call comes in advance, but only just barely (say, 3 days before or 2 days before). Typically, that means another speaker has cancelled, or the organizers didn't plan far enough in advance. Do you want to give up your preparation time? Think twice before you say yes.
- When the subject changes without notice or isn't clearly established: This is a clear sign that the organizers aren't taking good care of their speaker. I've had a few speaking invitations pegged to a specific topic, then found out it had changed after I accepted--without hearing directly from the organizers. Be sure you take the time to reevaluate if changes are made, and feel free to say "I think you'll need to find another speaker."
- When the preliminary negotiations go on for longer than your talk: You should expect to spend time talking to the organizers about how the talk will go, audiovisual equipment needs and the audience in advance. But if the logistics, location, topic, length and other basics keep changing and changing yet again, you may find it's a sign that the group's too disorganized--and disrespectful of your time. Again, feel free to say "I think you'll need to find another speaker."
- When it's not your area of expertise: Be honest and say so. You may be a good speaker and liked by the group, but don't stretch past your knowledge base. Consider, too, that good speakers often are asked to fill in when they're not experts, just to get someone to fill in--so don't set yourself up to fail. Say no.
- When your schedule gets in the way of success: You may have a clear calendar on the morning of your talk--but if you're traveling all night right before you go on, and jet lag's a problem for you, say no. Don't pile on when you know you'll be tired, rushed or otherwise not at your best.

Sebastian Dominguez Enrich-Tekant Chair
At Design Interviews
Interview with Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : Frank Scott: What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The idea of Tekant was to find how I could make a structure the main part of the chair, because most of the chair the main part is the part where you seat, and making a beautiful game of the structure and finding a feeling of lightness. .Frank Scott: What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : I wanted to create a chair that was different of what i have see. .Frank Scott: What are your future plans for this award winning design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : My future plans for Tekant is to start selling it. .Frank Scott: How long did it take you to design this particular concept?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : Actually when I started to design Tekant I draw a lot of chair and creating prototype with metal wire, and finally a day before my deadline the final design appear in my head. and I think it was like 2 months .Frank Scott: Why did you design this particular concept? Was this design commissioned or did you decide to pursuit an inspiration?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The concept of the structure becoming the main part of the chair was because I have to use Metal rods, so I search for inspiration in many things until I saw a book of structures. .Frank Scott: Is your design being produced or used by another company, or do you plan to sell or lease the production rights or do you intent to produce your work yourself?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : Right now I am producing it by myself and selling it, but I am open to talk to companies to make a larger production or selling it. .Frank Scott: What made you design this particular type of work?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : I wanted to design a chair that you feel lightness when you seat on Tekant. .Frank Scott: Where there any other designs and/or designers that helped the influence the design of your work?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : No .Frank Scott: Who is the target customer for his design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : My customer is the one that would appreciate the design and want to buy it. .Frank Scott: What sets this design apart from other similar or resembling concepts?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The sense of lightness for the human eyes and making you want to seat on Tekant .Frank Scott: How did you come up with the name for this design? What does it mean?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The name was influenced by the danish language with the word trekant, that means triangle, but then it evolve to Tekant. .Frank Scott: Which design tools did you use when you were working on this project?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : Sketching a lot of new chairs, 3d modeling and building the real one by myself by welding it and creating the upholstery. .Frank Scott: What is the most unique aspect of your design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : How I worked and build the structure of the chair. .Frank Scott: Who did you collaborate with for this design? Did you work with people with technical / specialized skills?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : All the process of the design was made by me, from the concept to the product. .Frank Scott: What is the role of technology in this particular design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The technology help to create the chair the easiest way possible. .Frank Scott: Is your design influenced by data or analytical research in any way? What kind of research did you conduct for making this design?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : It is influenced by a research in how structures in architecture work. .Frank Scott: What are some of the challenges you faced during the design/realization of your concept?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : The most difficult part was to produce the final product, becoming from something in paper a 3d model to a real product. .Frank Scott: How did you decide to submit your design to an international design competition?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : When I was searching for competition of design and ways to enter in the real world of design after finishing my degree to start getting a name in design. .Frank Scott: What did you learn or how did you improve yourself during the designing of this work?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : I learn the importance of having an order to build objects, because if you take the time to analyse how the pieces connect it is going to be easier. .Frank Scott: Any other things you would like to cover that have not been covered in these questions?. Sebastian Dominguez Enrich : For any question feel free to contact me. .

When Chinese authorities sent Qigang Chen to a re-education school because he came from the educated classes they could probably little picture the day several decades later when his compositions would be chosen to showcase China to the world at the first Chinese-hosted Olympics in 2008.
Neither could they, nor he, nor the group of Chinese musicians who performed his work Iris Dévoilée imagine the spectacular Pritzker Pavillion in Millennium Park where they performed last week, nor the enthusiastic reception of the crowd to this intriguing meld of classical Chinese Opera with modern classical music composition.
There was one "disciple of the Pear Garden", as Chinese opera performers are still referred to, Meng Meng, who enchanted the crowd by performing in traditional Chinese Opera dress.
Elegant soprano Wu Yanyu mesmerized us with her ability to meld with instruments, both Western and traditional Chinese, such that we at times were startled to find that we were no longer listening to her voice but rather to an instrument or vice versa.
Three traditional Chinese instruments were played as soloists with the Grant Park Orchestra accompanying.
Wei-Yang Andy Lin, who is an award-winning violist, played the erhu for this performance, which is a two-stringed bowed instrument often nicknamed a Chinese violin.
Yang Wei, whom some Chicagoans may recall as part of the touring Silk Road Project led by Yo-Yo Ma, played the pipa, a four-stringed Chinese lute.
Yang Yi played the zheng, a 21-string Chinese zither.
Remarkably, at many times the Western instruments of the Grant Park Music Orchestra took on the tonality of their traditional Chinese instrumental soloists. At times the collaboration was all whistles or horns. We heard swirling nests of bees. The nature of the tonal Chinese language was such that Meng Meng's soprano words moved into singing notes seamlessly. As if on cue, the birds that seem to have nested in the speakers of the Pritzker Pavillion sound system joined in.
Iris dévoilée has nine movement that en toto are meant to represent the female archetype. Indeed, in the movement called "Hysterical" we hear ear-splitting screams from both sopranos. Before you rankle at imagined misogyny know that the first movement is called "Ingenious".
In the movement "Voluptuous" we hear waves, perhaps the perfect segue to the whirling Fauré and Ravel pieces that followed intermission.
Suite from Pelléas et Mélisande, Op 80 by Fauré was reportedly written for a production of a symbolist play by this name performed at the Prince of Wales Theatre in London in 1898. The program notes indicate that the play "embodied the Symbolists' philosophy that mood is more important than plot." Indeed, this is a work of deep moods, ending with a "mournful elegy of quiet intensity."
As outdoor concerts have it, a parade of sirens interrupted the pause between the first two movements. Carlos Kalmar with great humor leaned back and seemed to have all the time in the world. He KNEW that the soft and sweet harp and flute duo that began that movement was well worth the wait.
Maurice Ravel's La Valse, Poème Choréographiqe", was reportedly described by the composer as "an inescapable whirlpool", that tears apart at the Viennese Waltz. Indeed, like many Ravel pieces we felt water swirling and floating around us. The change in tempo in the finale provided just the right jolt of electric energy to this night of musical titillation.
The season is still young and in the Grant Park Music Festival promises to give us the A-Z of classical music and beyond. If you missed this foray into a Chinese-Western musical connection and the sassy Pink Martini jazz-inspired concert the week before don't let the summer keep slipping away.
Concerts are free, picnics on the lawn encouraged, and pre- or post- concert tours of the beautiful gardens and sculptures in Millennium Park combine to make for perfect summer evenings in Chicago.
Rehearsals are also held daily and are free to the public.

According to Joseph Person of the Charlotte Observer, the Panthers want Gross to take a pay cut.
The 32-year-old veteran has a cap number of $11.7 million. "There's two sides to football – the football side and the business side," Gross told Person. "In the offseason, you deal with the business side. Right now the Panthers and I are trying to work out the best solution to help this team move forward."
Gross has the second-highest cap number on the team, behind only defensive end Charles Johnson, who counts for $13 million in 2013.

1952 Willys Wagon - Round Two
Family-heritage Willys Wagon
Usually Hazel is the one hunting down vintage orange Jeeps. If there's one in a five- mile radius, you can be sure he's on it like stink on a monkey. But this time the tables were turned. The owner of this Monarch-orange '52 Willys Wagon saddled up alongside Hazel at the 2011 TDS Desert Safari event. And before Vista, California, resident Bryan Kilcrease could get more than a couple of words in greeting out of his mouth, Hazel was dragging him off to a photo-shoot location. Orange…Willys…mmm…feature.
As it turns out, the Willys Wagon has been in Bryan's family since about 1960. His dad bought the Wagon when he was a 16-year-old high-school kid. He dated Bryan's mom in it. Heck, Byran is half-convinced he was conceived in the back of it. The old man made many of the modifications still in place on the Wagon, but as time and old age left their mark on both, the Wagon was put to pasture and left to languish for 30 years in Bryan's dad's back yard. Rat nests filled the inside almost up to the roof and rust pitted the chrome and ate the original paint. Then, when the old man announced three years ago he was going to "throw away" the old Wagon, Bryan swooped in and saved it from death. He sold his YJ for $5,000 to fund the rebirth and set to work.
Unlike a lot of the crazy-hardcore rigs we feature, we don't really have a lot to say about the chassis of this rig other than it's sporting a 4-inch lift. Bryan brought the Willys to E&C Spring in Escondido, California, to have a custom set of springs built. He converted the C-shackles to standard shackles and added a set of Rancho RS5000 shocks with a full-custom stealth-black coating. Yep, that's humor: Everything under the sheetmetal got bombed in black spray paint, as it should be. When the new springs were first fitted under the Wagon the ride was incredibly stiff, so Bryan pulled out one leaf from the front spring packs. That cured the stiff ride, but also allowed the new springs to grow too long, and stuffed the shackles to a locked-out forward position when the springs compressed. With the springs now broken in, Bryan replaced the leaves after returning from the TDS event and the shackles now work fine off-road and the ride is much improved.
At some point Bryan's dad added the skidplate over the factory 15-gallon fuel tank, but otherwise everything else attached to the out- or underside of the frame is factory, including the factory manual steering.
With few exceptions, the drivetrain is just as it was when Bryan last drove the Jeep as a 16-year-old. Bryan's dad yanked the 115hp L-head 226 and replaced it with a 155hp '65 Buick 225 back in 1970. We're guessing he used parts from Lloyd Novak since Advance Adapters didn't open shop until 1971. Bryan had his work cut out for him reviving the old 1-barrel 225 without destroying it, but it hummed like a sewing machine the day of our photo shoot, so job well done. In addition to a lot of wiring work Bryan added an electric fan behind the stock radiator, a Pertronix electronic ignition conversion, and a new alternator.
The T-90 transmission is the original unit, and as delivered behind the 226 sported gear ratios of 2.80 (First); 1.55 (Second); 1.00 (Third); and 3.80 (Reverse). No doubt the Buick's infamous 50lb flywheel spins in front of a factory 226 10-inch clutch.
Movin' on back, the Spicer 18 is also the original unit. The twin-stick T-case sports its factory 2.46:1 low range and 11⁄8-inch intermediate shaft. Spicer didn't go to the larger 11⁄4-inch intermediate shaft 'till 1953. What's not so usual is the very rare Borg Warner Studebaker electric Overdrive. It was actually the first one this author has seen in person. Dear ol' Dad installed the unit back in the '60s, but Bryan doesn't know why he chose the more-complicated unit over the easier-to-install and more-compact Warn Overdrives of the day. In addition to requiring a shorter rear driveshaft, the Studebaker unit is a somewhat-complicated beast to use. For starters, it has a 6-volt electric solenoid, so Bryan had to run a converter to it so it'd still work with the 12-volt conversion Bryan performed. You've got to flip the electric switch and then pull a cable to engage the unit. While doing this, you've got to be careful to match the rpm of the engine and drivetrain to prevent grinding as the unit engages. Also, since it only engages the rear output, you can't use it in four-wheel-drive or in low range. And the Overdrive doesn't work in Reverse. Really, it's just for over-the-road use, while the Warn Overdrive works in any gear, any speed, and any T-case range. Still, it's a neat unit and Bryan is glad to have it for its uniqueness and character.
Finally, at opposing ends, the factory Dana 25 front and Dana 44 rear still rotate under direction of the factory 5.38 gears loaded on open diffs. The axles are dead stock from the 11-inch drum brakes to the coarse 10-spline shafts.
Body and Interior
Bryan never provided us with any "before" photos (actually, we never asked), but going by his description the Wagon was in rough shape from sitting in his dad's Chula Vista, California, yard for three decades. Bryan stripped all the trim, bumpers, and shiny stuff and sent it out to be rechromed. Then, he started sanding—forever. Brian doesn't know exactly how many hours he sanded the thing in anticipation of its new coat of paint, but the final tally was obscene. However, like any paint job, the devil is in the details and prep work makes or breaks the final job. And the final job looks great even up close and personal. Brian chose the Monarch Orange shade and had the body sprayed before reassembling the chrome and trim.
The inside is still a work in progress. Most of the factory trinkets are there and functional, but things like the wiper and headlight switches have been replaced with simple toggles. The factory gauges are in the dash, but an aftermarket temperature gauge and tach keep tabs on the really important stuff. The e-brake lever works, the steering wheel is stock and still sports the fragile plastic horn button, and (miraculously) the dash escaped the '70s and '80s without being hacked to fit an 8-track or Kraco stereo! A homebuilt wooden Baja box houses spare tools, parts, and fluids, and a Hi-Lift jack flanks the nearly-60-year-old spare tire. The stock seat frames have more or less been recovered, but there's still some more work to be done on the interior before Bryan is completely satisfied.
Good, Bad & What It's For
Although it's definitely a head turner and could easily serve as a daily driver, the Willys is still a work in progress. Bryan recently built a receiver hitch out back with a swing-out tire carrier so he can bring along a fifth 33x12.50R15 Goodyear MT/R mounted on a matching 15x8 black steel wheel. The Warn Premium hubs on the Dana 25 front axle are certainly strong enough to survive the mild back country trips Bryan takes the Willys on, and a pair of 5-gallon jerrycans flanking the cowl will ensure plenty of range. During our photo shoot Bryan pondered upgrades like an axle or brake swap or a shackle reversal, but almost immediately dismissed them. At some point, you either embrace the limitations that come with owning and using a vintage vehicle or you modernize it and lose much of its character. We think Bryan has made the right choice at every turn with his buildup. Keep it old, keep it cool, and keep it true to the family plan. He's done that. So much so that the old man now wants his Jeep back!
Why I Featured It
I was hot-footing it to a location during my event coverage and was trying to catch up to another group when I spied this bright orange wagon entering a dry wash. I thought about chasing it down, but then decided my current engagement took precedence. Then, as I waited for some chucklehead to get out of my way so I could climb out of the wash, Bryan pulled up alongside my DJ and introduced himself. Call it fate or whatever you like, but I bailed on the other engagement and (quite happily) nabbed a cool feature with a great story attached to it.

While I was in Paris, Idaho I was able to leave the courthouse with copies of three documents. Today I want to share the marriage certificate of John T. Barker,Jr and Esther E. Henderson, my great-grandparents.
The handwriting is a little faint, but that's the best copy she could make.
The marriage certificate was applied for in Paris, Bear Lake, Idaho the 17th day of September 1902 and was recorded by James E. Hart. The marriage ceremony was performed the 18th day of September 1902 by Bishop Ira Nebeker in Laketown, Rich, Utah and witnessed by Samuel Newton Henderson (father of the bride) and Allen Pugmire (cousin of the bride).
Among the photographs that I made copies of while I was in Idaho is this one of great-grandma and grandpa Barker on their 50th wedding anniversary.
Right now I am in the process of transcribing a ten page (legal size) history of the Barker family written by my great-aunt Adelia. When I have that done I will post it.

| Felines
Temporal range: Upper Oligocene – Recent
|Tiger, the largest feline found in nature.
|Scientific classification
| Felidae
G. Fischer de Waldheim, 1817
Felidae is a family of mammals, in the order Carnivora. Animals that belong to Felidae are called felids.
The family is of quite recent origin: the first fossils are from the Oligocene, 25 million years ago (mya). There are 41 living species, including the domestic cat, and they are monophyletic: all descended from the same ancestor.[1]
Felids tend to have lithe and flexible bodies with muscular limbs. The limbs are digitigrade, meaning they walk on their toes. The paws have with soft toe pads and retractible claws (usually).[1] The tongue of felids is covered with horny papillae, which rasp meat from prey and aid in grooming.
The Felidae has three subfamilies:
- †Machairodontinae: sabre-toothed cats.
- Pantherinae: large cats tiger, lion, jaguar, leopard
- Felinae: cougar, cheetah and smaller cats
More examples of felines are the big cats – the lion, tiger, leopard, jaguar, snow leopard, clouded leopard, puma, and cheetah - and other wild cats, for example the lynx, caracal, and bobcat. All felines, also the small pet cat, are predators that can hunt many animals.
The felids evolved in Asia and spread across continents by crossing land bridges. DNA sequence analysis shows that ancient cats evolved into eight main lines. There were at least 10 migrations (in both directions) from continent to continent via the Bering land bridge and Isthmus of Panama. The Panthera genus is the oldest and the Felis genus is the youngest. 60 percent of the modern species of cats developed within the last million years.[2]
The felids' closest relatives are the linsangs,[3] and at one remove the group of civets, hyenas, mongooses, and Madagascar carnivores,[4] with whom they share the Suborder Feliformia. All felid species share a genetic anomaly that prevents them from tasting sweetness.[5]
Genetic classification
Genetic research has provided a basis for a more concise classification for the living members of the cat family based on genotypical groupings.[1][6][7] Specifically, eight genetic lineages have been identified:[8]
- Lineage 1: Panthera, Uncia, Neofelis
- Lineage 2: Pardofelis, Catopuma
- Lineage 3: Leptailurus, Caracal, Profelis
- Lineage 4: Leopardus
- Lineage 5: Lynx
- Lineage 6: Puma, Acinonyx
- Lineage 7: Prionailurus, Otocolobus
- Lineage 8: Felis
The last four lineages (5, 6, 7, 8) are more related to each other than to any of the first four (1, 2, 3, 4), and so form a clade within the Felinae subfamily of family Felidae.

First, some light housekeeping: This is the final scheduled post in the Type Trends series. I'm sad to see it go, but glad for what's taking its spot. Type Trends won't go away forever; It's liable to show up here and there, especially by popular demand. The major trends I feel are covered for now. (The pieces at the bottom of my list that didn't materialize into posts included type designed and marketed with a very specific use in mind, and type that plays with extreme contrast.) If you were holding out with a better idea I'd love to hear it.
The new series is called Using Type, and it's a return to the basics. How to use grids and figures and hyphenation and titles and so forth will be the topic at hand, and what I hope to accomplish with it is the creation of a space where all of us can learn something, and contribute something. The new content is presently in production and will drop here Thursdays. Here's a taste.
Whether for their forthrightness, ephemeral nature, or some connotation held of speed or strength, stencil faces have plenty to offer the creative typographer. When using stencil faces, select something with an adequate bridge, or gap between positive strokes. The leap of the eye to connect the unjoined parts, and the implied rules of the structure of the stencil is what makes the face fun to look at. Try incorporating a physical process, as that's what stencils are for. Line bridges up with a the document grid. Experiment with graphic elements of a similar width as one of bridges or islands.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Jason Kipnis and Michael Brantley hit two-run homers, powering the Cleveland Indians over the Kansas City Royals 4-3 Monday night when a fearless squirrel ran around Progressive Field and provided some extra entertainment.
Kipnis connected in the sixth inning off Jeremy Guthrie (2-1), overcoming a 3-2 deficit. Brantley provided Cleveland a 2-0 lead in the fourth.
Zach McAllister (3-0) gave up six hits and overcame three errors — one on his errant throw. Marc Rzepczynski and Cody Allen pitched a hitless inning each, and closer John Axford worked a 1-2-3 ninth for his seventh save.
Alex Gordon and Omar Infante each had two of the Royals' six hits.

Wikiquote:Quote of the day/April 2011
I suppose it is tempting, if the only tool you have is a hammer, to treat everything as if it were a nail.
~ Abraham Maslow ~
|My success and my misfortunes, the bright and the dark days I have gone through, everything has proved to me that in this world, either physical or moral, good comes out of evil just as well as evil comes out of good. My errors will point to thinking men the various roads, and will teach them the great art of treading on the brink of the precipice without falling into it. It is only necessary to have courage, for strength without self-confidence is useless.
~ Giacomo Casanova ~
We do not want our world to perish. But in our quest for knowledge, century by century, we have placed all our trust in a cold, impartial intellect which only brings us nearer to destruction. We have heeded no wisdom offering guidance. Only by learning to love one another can our world be saved. Only love can conquer all.
~ Dora Russell ~
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
~ Maya Angelou ~
|At the door of life, by the gate of breath,
There are worse things waiting for men than death;
Death could not sever my soul and you,
As these have severed your soul from me.
I believe neither in what I touch nor what I see. I only believe in what I do not see, and solely in what I feel.
~ Gustave Moreau ~
When I die, I want to die in a Utopia that I have helped to build.
~ Henry Kuttner ~
|Life by life and love by love
We passed through the cycles strange,
And breath by breath and death by death
We followed the chain of change.
Till there came a time in the law of life
When o'er the nursing sod,
The shadows broke and soul awoke
In a strange, dim dream of God.
~ Langdon Smith ~
|Wisdom entereth not into a malicious mind, and science without conscience is but the ruin of the soul.
Oh Master of the Beautiful,
Creating us from hour to hour,
Give me this vision to the full
To see in lightest things thy power!
This vision give, no heaven afar,
No throne, and yet I will rejoice,
Knowing beneath my feet a star,
Thy word in every wandering voice.
I learned that it is the weak who are cruel, and that gentleness is to be expected only from the strong.
~ Leo Rosten ~
I don't know what God is, or what God had in mind when the universe was set in motion. In fact, I don't know if God even exists, although I confess that I sometimes find myself praying in times of great fear, or despair, or astonishment at a display of unexpected beauty. There are some ten thousand religious sects — each with its own cosmology, each with its own answer for the meaning of life and death. Most assert that the other 9,999 not only have it completely wrong but are instruments of evil, besides. None of the ten thousand has yet persuaded me to make the requisite leap of faith. In the absence of conviction, I've come to terms with the fact that uncertainty is an inescapable corollary of life. An abundance of mystery is simply part of the bargain — which doesn't strike me as something to lament. Accepting the essential inscrutability of existence, in any case, is surely preferable to its opposite: capitulating to the tyranny of intransigent belief. And if I remain in the dark about our purpose here, and the meaning of eternity, I have nevertheless arrived at an understanding of a few modest truths: Most of us fear death. Most of us yearn to comprehend how we got here, and why — which is to say, most of us ache to know the love of our creator. And we will no doubt feel that ache, most of us, for as long as we happen to be alive.
~ Jon Krakauer ~
There is no act, however virtuous, for which ingenuity may not find some bad motive.
~ Thomas Jefferson ~
It is necessary that I climb very high because of my love for you, and upon the heights there is silence.
I am a being of Heaven and Earth,

It is well for the heart to be naive and for the mind not to be.
~ Anatole France ~
Poetry is the supreme fiction, madame.
~ Wallace Stevens ~
We painters use the same license as poets and madmen.

Society, in the aggregate, is no fool. It is astonishing what an amount of "eccentricity" it will stand from anybody who takes the bull by the horns, too fearless or too indifferent to think of consequences.
~ Dinah Craik ~
Therapy isn't curing somebody of something; it is a means of helping a person explore himself, his life, his consciousness. My purpose as a therapist is to find out what it means to be human. Every human being must have a point at which he stands against the culture, where he says, "This is me and the world be damned!" Leaders have always been the ones to stand against the society — Socrates, Christ, Freud, all the way down the line.

Art at its greatest is fantastically deceitful and complex.
~ Vladimir Nabokov ~
The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

However great the work that God may achieve by an individual, he must not indulge in self-satisfaction. He ought rather to be all the more humbled, seeing himself merely as a tool which God has made use of.
~ Vincent de Paul ~
|What the ancients called a clever fighter is one who not only wins, but excels in winning with ease.
~ Sun Tzu ~
|It costs so much to be a full human being that there are very few who have the enlightenment, or the courage, to pay the price … One has to abandon altogether the search for security, and reach out to the risk of living with both arms. One has to embrace the world like a lover, and yet demand no easy return of love. One has to accept pain as a condition of existence. One has to court doubt and darkness as the cost of knowing. One needs a will stubborn in conflict, but apt always to the total acceptance of every consequence of living and dying.
~ Morris West ~
The same energy of character which renders a man a daring villain would have rendered him useful to society, had that society been well organized.
"The secret is not to dream … The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and I know where I'm going. You cannot fool me anymore. Or touch me. Or anything that is mine."
~ Terry Pratchett ~
If all the parts of the universe are interchained in a certain measure, any one phenomenon will not be the effect of a single cause, but the resultant of causes infinitely numerous.
~ Henri Poincaré ~
Harmonizing opposites by going back to their source is the distinctive quality of the Zen attitude, the Middle Way: embracing contradictions, making a synthesis of them, achieving balance.
~ Taisen Deshimaru ~

Disenrollment Destroys Kinship

Another Day, ANOTHER member of Pechanga Crime Family ARRESTED
Now, remember that Pechanga tribal members are making about $360,000 per year, since they violated their own constitution by eliminating 25% of their tribe. By terminating 400 employees a couple of months ago, that we wrote about HERE, they were able to keep per capita high.
A 42-year-old man who allegedly fired two shots into a group of four people – one of whom was 14 years old – in San Jacinto was behind bars Thursday in lieu of $1 million bail, awaiting arraignment on an attempted murder charge.
Robert Martin Masiel, who lives on the Soboba Indian Reservation, was arrested Wednesday in the 43000 block of Benjamin Street by sheriff's deputies who served a search warrant and recovered numerous firearms, according to the sheriff's department.
Masiel, a Pechanga tribal member who has a home on the Soboba Indian Reservation, was staying at the Valley Vista address, sheriff's Detective Steven Fredericks said.
"He's got an extensive criminal history," he added. OP: Uh, YEAH, see the list of violations BELOW
Masiel is suspected of firing a 9mm pistol at four people in the backyard of a home at 379 Main St. in San Jacinto about 1:30 p.m. Tuesday, according to the sheriff's department.
"It looks like he was angry over a debt," Fredericks said.
Rudy Saucedo, who said he has known Masiel for 20 years, told sheriff's deputies that Masiel fired the shots, according to a declaration in support of an arrest warrant filed by Fredericks.
Saucedo said he owed Masiel $200 from two years ago, Fredericks wrote in court papers.
Now, readers, Masiel has made roughly $650,000 in the past two years, since his family led the charge to eliminate 25% of the tribe. And he shoots at 4 people for $200. I guess he's standing up for principal?
IS the Pechanga Casino SAFE?

This is a travesty. The tribal council removed over 300 peaceful people and kept THIS family?

How can they live on the Soboba Indian Reservation and still be a member of Pechanga (or atleast more deserving of membership than others who have not only lived on the Pechanga Reservation, but also have land allotments on the Pechanga Reservation) ?

There is NO requirement that you live on the reservation to be a member. And besides, their uncle TONNIE BASQUEZ is a Soboba member. How the Basquez can be Soboba AND Pechanga is a different story.

Yes, there is a connection between the Basquez/Masiels and Soboba.
So are they Soboba or are they Pechanga?
It wouldn't surprise me in the least that the "bad apples" from the Soboba tribe and the notorious Basquz/Masiels are all blood relatives.
Could be that this one family is causing the majority of the problems at both reservations.
Isn't Pechanga proud of the people they keep in the tribe instead of the hundreds of law abiding people they kicked out?
Have any of the murderers, sex offenders, car jackers, other violent offenders, or thieves been disenrolled?
Answer: NO!

Another apple that didn't fall far from the family tree.
Ruth Masiel are you proud of your self destructing family members?
Pechanga Tribe are you proud to be associated with this criminal clan?

Their uncle, TONY, not TONNIE, is not a member of Soboba, he lives there because he was married for a very long time to a Soboba member. All Indians know that you can have ties to many different reservations. Seems to me like people like to spout out assumptions without having all the facts.

So has anyone heard anything new about the other charges the Masiel/Miranda family are facing?

I don't think Benjamin Masiel, the violent car jacker has been caught.
That puts those on the rez at risk doesn't it?
Who's hiding him?

One of the OTHER Crime family members must be hiding him, or helping him avoid capture.

just so all you "concerned" members , the terrible , awful masiel jr, has been caught.. and funny thing is , he is not been charged with car jacking!! maybe thats because HE DID NOT CAR JACK ANYONE!!! so if you don't have the black and white then maybe you should mind your own.....

Thats funny, he didn't car jack anyone, but the gun charges and firing into a crown of people, thats kool right? Just wondering.
More moral Cal Tribes sit back and watch this so cal crime spree in total shame and disbelief.

That's one less problem roaming around. Still, it's nowhere near enough for any security companies Bristol to go out of business.

We have a special treat in store for you next week during our weekly live call-in podcast. Special guest Ken Levine will be joining us to take your calls.
To those of you new to Kotaku Talk Radio, every Wednesday at 1 p.m. Eastern we stream a live video game talk show through the tubes of the Internet straight into your home and ears. You can pick up a phone, or use Skype, and call us to chat, ask questions or harass Totilo.
While we haven't wrapped up what else we'll be talking about during the special show, Levine tells us he's 100 percent confirmed. We will also be sure to talk about Penny Arcade Expo and other news of the week.
Ken Levine is a founder member of and creative director for 2K Boston, which was originally known as Irrational Games. He is perhaps best known for his work on BioShock, but also worked on Thief: The Dark Project, System Shock 2, Tribes: Vengeance, Freedom Force, its sequel Freedom Force vs. the Third Reich and SWAT 4.
So mark your calendar now and don't forget to tune in, and call in next week.
And if you missed this week's show, shame on you. Go have a listen now, or save it to your preferred player for guilty listening later.

News is better than no news
No news on the Syrup movie front, which is probably bad. I'm now starting to suspect there are a bunch of Soda screenplays being used in Hollywood as coasters.
But I do have some excellent news on the new book. If you've been dying to know what's next, you should check this out right now.

I call them the Police Box Mittens so as not to upset any of the Nice People at the BBC (Hi, Nice People at the BBC!) and so far they (the mittens, not the BBC people) have been very well-received. I, however, believe that they could go so much further - to the heights and depths of Time and Space, perhaps? We shall have to wait and see.
If you like them you can get your copy of the pattern here on Ravelry or here in my (surprisingly well-maintained and up-to-date) Etsy shop.*
And now, the details:
Mittens featuring everyone's favourite travelling blue box with the broken chameleon circuit. I call her "sexy."
Never knit colourwork before? Since these mittens only use one contrast colour these ones would be a great place to start!
Know a Time Lord or Companion with larger hands? These mitts are easily sized up by going up in yarn weight and needle size. Please note that in this case additional yardage may be required.
It was during the making of these mittens that I was suddenly reminded of just how much I truly love producing colourwork things - both mittens and socks. This can only bode well for all of you - there are others on the way.
And that elusive first book of mine too - oh yes. I haven't forgotten.
* Etsy now offers INSTANT DOWNLOADS on .pdf knitting patterns, which just might be the BEST THING EVER. My three newest patterns (Lobsters, Bow Ties and Police Boxes) are currently available as such and I'm in the process of converting the entire stock of my Etsy shop into instant downloads as well. Just something to think about.
