Black Is The Color Of My True Love's Hair – A Selection Of Norwegian Folk Jazz 1971 to 1977Various
CD (Item 488185) Plastic Strip Press (Norway), Mid 70s — Condition: New Copy
The combination of folk roots and jazz-based instrumentation – a style that only flourished briefly in the US at the start of the 60s, but one that got much greater play in later years on the Scandinavian scene! This ultra-cool collection offers a great look at the genre from a Norwegian perspective – put together from some key 70s recordings in the folk jazz mode – really rare sides that we'd never had a chance to hear otherwise! There's a bit of vocals in the mix at times, but these are usually in Norwegian, and as such, tend to disappear to ears like ours alongside the instrumentation – almost acting as an additional sonic element, and one that makes the music sound even groovier than we might have expected. Players on the dates include Knut Riisnaes on flute and soprano sax, Terje Rypdal on guitars, Harald Gundhus on tenor, Lars Martin Thomassen on flugelhorn and trumpet, Bengt Hallberg on piano, Bjorn Alterhaug on bass, Nils Tro on tenor, Arne Domnerus on alto and clarinet, and Rune Gustafsson on guitar – and titles include "Samse Tak" and Palevise" by Egil Bop Johansen, "Jeg Lagde Meg Sa Silde" by Egil Kaptstad, "Sautrall Etter Gurin Hansen Alvdal" by Anne Karine Tonset & Harald Gundhus, "Pols Etter Martinius Helgesen" by Osterdalsmusikk, "Setermorgen" by Helge Hurum Birgitte Grimstad, "Over Berg Og Dalar" by Arne Domnerus, "Hu Hei Kor Er Det Vel Friskt Og Lett Oppa Fjellet" by Roy Hellvin, "Halling No 2 Etter Martinus Helgesen Stor Elvdal" by Soyr, and "Ja Vi Alskar" by Arne Domnerus. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Doug Fister has never won more than six games in a single season, and has already been saddled with twelve losses this year. The former Seattle Mariner and recently acquired Detroit Tiger pitcher will never lead the league in strikeouts, and it's unlikely he'll ever win a Cy Young. Yet despite the surface obstacles, Fister might just be the next great control artist.
To-date, Doug Fister has logged 387 innings over the course of three seasons–most of which in 2010 (171 innings) and 2011 (155 innings). During that span, the right-hander owns a career 3.81 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, and 2.76 K/BB. Despite posting a below-league-average 5.07 K/9, Fister also boasts an outstanding 1.8 BB/9. That's slightly better than Roy Halladay's career 1.84 BB/9, and the exact same as Mr. Control himself, Greg Maddux. Continue reading

Roberts Carpets: A Herndon Institution
Roberts Carpets and Oriental Rug Co. has been in business in Herndon for 40 years, selling carpets, wood flooring, and ceramic tile.
Chuck Roberts, the owner of Robert's Carpets, started doing business in Herndon at 697 Spring St., in the building that now is home to Jimmy's Old Town Tavern. Twenty years later, Chuck moved it to the current location, a few doors away at 681 Spring St. The building that houses Jimmy's today dates to 1897, when the original owner, Magnus T. Wilkins, opened a general store there.
Roberts Carpets operated in Alexandria for six years before opening a second store in Herndon. Chuck ran into Reston developer Robert E. Simon in the early '60s, saw what he was doing, and decided to move to Herndon. "You could lay down in the middle of Elden Street at lunch time and you wouldn't have got run over. It was that slow at that time," Chuck said.
He recalled that what is now the Tele-Fix TV repair store at 695 Spring St. was an ice cream shop, and the building between that and the current carpet store was Hazel's Carryout Restaurant, which opened at 3:30 a.m. each day and served a good old country breakfast. Hazel's closed in 1986, and Jimmy's owner Jimmy Cirrito now uses it for his catering business.
Uncertain when the building at his current location was built, Chuck said it was originally a Sanitary Grocery, which was later bought out by Safeway. There was a printing shop and three or four other small businesses in the building when he bought it in 1987, and even then he rented parts of the building out to other businesses.
Chuck's son currently works for him, his daughter handles the bookkeeping, and a grandson worked for him for seven years. That makes three generations who have been part Roberts Carpets.
Asked what has changed the most since he moved here, he replied, "Traffic and the amount of people working here." There were still plenty of dairy farms around the town when he arrived. There was even a guy who regularly drove a horse-drawn wagon through town.
Chuck initially relied on business from Reston. He was the only flooring store between Herndon and Tysons Corner. And, because of the high rents in Tysons, the prices in those stores were double those at Roberts.
Chuck is a certified diver and still enjoys diving in the warm waters in Florida and the Caribbean. He keeps a collection of his prize shells in his store. He also has a wall in the store on which he keeps a multitude of pictures of family and friends along with the first dollar he ever earned, paid to him by his mother.
Chuck eventually closed his business in Alexandria as his business grew in the Herndon area grew. Chuck said he still enjoys serving his customers, whom he says are the "finest bunch of people you'd ever want to meet."
Remembering Herndon's History is written by members of the Herndon Historical Society. Chuck Mauro is a past president. The Society operates a small museum that focuses on local history. It is housed in the Depot and is open every Sunday from noon until 3:00. Visit the Society's website at www.herndonhistoricalsociety.org for more information.
Note: The Historical Society is seeking volunteers to help keep the museum open each Sunday. If you have an interest in local history and would like to help, contact Carol Bruce at 703-437-7289 or email@example.com.

By way of explanation for the photos: The lady in the old photo is Hazel Jenkins, who owned and operated Hazel's. Many long-time residents will recognize her. The photo of the old Wilkins Store dates to around 1909, and is part of the Historical Society's Berkley Green Collection. Chuck Roberts is pictured in his store with his extensive collection of photographs.

I read this article after seeing ads in the Connection newspapers, including the Oak Hill-Herndon, Reston, and Great Falls editions, announcing a "Moving Sale" by Roberts Carpets. The ad did not include to where the company is moving. Since this company has been in Herndon for so long, it would be interesting to know just where they are moving.

Hi folks,
I have a question, and wasn't able to find any real answers through Google (by the way, am I the only one thinking that Google search results are getting less and less relevant?)...
Anyway... I have an MPEG2 file which was taken from a rather bad DVD rip. Whoever did the ripping was an idiot - the DVD file structure is borked. I was able to extract the raw MPEG-2 file with ancient version of TMPGEnc DVD Author (which somehow works as a portable program on Win7), only to discover that there's occasional (yet noticeable) macroblocking in the image. I suspect that the original was recorded on a DVD-9, and the ripper used a cheap, crappy encoder to do a rush job on a DVD-5 conversion.
I am really bothered by the macroblocking, and I'm wondering if it can be "smoothed out", perhaps by reencoding the file with another piece of software - and I'd like to keep the file as MPEG-2, which would allow me to recreate a DVD which could be shared with others.
Is this feasible, or just wishful thinking?
+ Reply to Thread
Results 1 to 6 of 6
You can't remove the macroblocking by simply reencoding. But you can use a deblocking filter and then reencode. You might as well use a deringing filter too. Of course, detail won't be restored. The blocks will be replaced with smooth gradients.
Thank you for the reply!
Smooth gradients are preferable to the current blockfest... do you happen to know if the TMPGEnc software suite has any deblocking filter? If not, what software solution do you suggest?
I was originally hoping the procedure would be as simple as using DVD Rebuilder and specifically asking the program to use a deblocking option (if it exists)...
Otherwise, I've seen that for this type of scenario some people suggest using VDub with one of the deblocking filters here - http://www.compression.ru/video/deblocking/index_en.html or http://www.compression.ru/video/deblocking/smartdeblocking_en.html ... But that would require saving he resulting file asn AVI, then reencoding it as MPEG2....Last edited by strangelove91; 3rd Jan 2013 at 11:48.
I don't know if TMPGEnc has a deblcoking filter. I would do it using the DgMpgDec package for AviSynth. Build an index file with DgIndex, then open the file with Mpeg2Source("filename.d2v", CPU=6) -- CPU=6 enables both the deblocking and deringing features. If you prefer less aggressive deblocking you can use Deblock_QED() in AviSynth. I'm pretty sure TMPGEnc will accept AviSynth scripts.
Did you put a copy of DGDecode.dll in AviSynth's plugins folder? If not, do so.
Use notepad to create a plain text file in the same folder as the d2v file. Type in the text:
Code:Mpeg2Source("filename.d2v", CPU=6)

Published: May 28, 2012
I was interested in Mark Bushnells Sunday article on Vermonts low population and slow growth from 1850 to 1950. Vermonts Dark Age, as some people called it. Some members of our family were among those who left Vermont and migrated west during this period.
Low population can also be seen in a geographical context. Vermont is the only New England state which is landlocked. Coastal cities like Boston, Providence, R.I., and New Haven, Conn., already by 1850 had a core population benefiting from oceanic trade. Even today Burlington, Vermonts largest city with 40,000 people, is only a fraction of the population of these cities. Once again, water location, in this case Lake Champlain and Canadian trade, are related to Burlingtons growth.
An additional locational circumstance is connected to natural resources, coal and iron, limited or missing in Vermont. Americas Midwest, with generous amounts of each, led to the making of steel and countless byproducts. Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Detroit grew to be large cities. The Great Lakes also furnished an inland waterway for transport of materials and finished goods.
Vermont today, with low population density, is still a rural state, second only to Maine. As Bushnell indicates, some Vermont officials fear our population is stagnating. How does quantity of life relate to quality of life? This is a topic for another discussion.

"We are a family here at ECMC and this is a tragedy that happened to one of our family," said Jody Lomeo, the CEO of ECMC.
It's a place where people go to be healed, but after one of their own was shot and killed Wednesday, Lomeo says hospital employees need some healing themselves.
"Our prayers and our hearts go out to the victim, the family, the friends, many of whom are here at ECMC. The mood in the hospital is what you would expect it to be. It's very somber, very sad," Lomeo said.
Lomeo says he was shocked when he heard long time employee Dr. Timothy Jorden might be involved.
"He was just a fine doctor, and I'll let the authorities deal with that."
ECMC and two local schools were on lockdown for hours following the shooting, and incoming patients were diverted to Buffalo General.
"Inside the hospital, it was business as usual for the patients there, we did take care of patients and I'm very proud and want to thank the employees for all they did."
Lomeo says the hospital will do a full internal investigation, which will include a review of security procedures.
"We'll look at everything as we always do in a situation, anything like this, we would always do this." And as ECMC works to support its employees during this difficult time, Lomeo says he's grateful for the support they've received as a hospital.
"A sincere thank you to all of the community, the outpouring has been unbelievable, and it just speaks to what we're all about and the fabric of this community."
Lomeo says the emergency response was fantastic and he's very grateful to law enforcement for their help.
Immediately after the shooting, the entire 65-acre ECMC campus, which employs 1,000 workers and houses 400 patients, was placed on lock down.
Following the shooting, the Buffalo Public School District placed School 84 and School 89 on lockdown.
Elena Cala, a spokeswoman for the district, says police officers patrolled the buildings and maintained a presence in the area surrounding the schools.
The lockdown ended at School 89 before noon, but the lockdown remained in place at School 84 because police believed the suspect's son was a student there.
Cala says all students were dismissed at their regular time, and police officers were present at dismissal to ensure student safety.

Flash floods kill
29 in Pakistan
PESHAWAR, Pakistan Flash floods following torrential rains in the countrys northwest this week have killed 29 people.
A spokesman for the disaster management authority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province said Wednesday that most of the casualties died when their homes collapsed.
Adnan Khan said 75 people were also reported injured in the floods. He said the rains, which started Monday, damaged about 1,400 homes in the province.
Pakistan suffers every year from flash floods caused by monsoonal rains.
In addition to the flood victims, Khan says three soldiers are missing following an avalanche in the village of Surgulu Binshahia.
Pakistan suffered the worst in 2010, when floodwaters inundated one-fifth of the country, killing over 1,700 people. More than 20 million people were affected at the time.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Members of a House panel angry over the growing epidemic of sexual assaults in the...

When the trailer for Miss Representation started making the rounds on social media, I knew I wanted to see it. Fortunately, it screened as part of the Vancouver International Film Festival 2011. This documentary film, written and directed by former actress Jennifer Siebel Newsom, seeks to expose and question the representation of females in the media—particularly modern American culture. So many people grow up without media literacy—truly understanding the political economy of mass media. Modern mass media in the USA (and consequently Canada) is mainly dependent upon advertising revenue, whose sole objective is to sell a product. These advertisements rely Continue Reading »

Love it! I had one similar and lost it and I've been looking for one to replace it. Will definitely order from Blue Nile again.
Bought this for mother's day, she loved it and I was impressed with the quality.
they are hollow beads, so no weight to them.
This bracelet was "light" in weight which was unexpected based on the cost.
I bought the bracelet and earrings for a b day gift for someone in another state. I have not seen the items, but the recipient said she loved them! She texted me a tiny picture of her wearing them. They looked shiny & nice in the picture.
Great experience - as always with Blue Nile.

(Providence, Rhode Island) – We'll skip the combative politics for today, since it's Inauguration Day. We'll get back to the issues next week, but I thought today it might be fun to have some inaugural trivia. If you have to work Monday, you can use these to stump your co-workers!
Don't Forget Your Coat! – William Henry Harrison (photo) should have taken a mom's advice and worn a coat to his inaugural. Instead, at age 68, he delivered a two-hour address, (the longest in history), in a cold and damp rain. He wore neither a coat, nor a hat. He also rode a horse to and from the ceremony instead of a closed carriage. Not surprisingly, he caught pneumonia and died 32 days later. The longest inaugural address led to the shortest presidency. Conversely, George Washington had the shortest inaugural address, and served two full terms. Modern politicians take note: brevity is good!
Always Listen to Your Mom! – Perhaps James Garfield took a cue from Harrison's fate, but it took 40 years. In 1881, his mother Eliza was the first presidential mom to attend an inaugural. We presume she made him wear his coat, but whether or not he did, doesn't matter. Garfield died after 200 days in office, the second shortest term next to Harrison's.
Who's on First? – It must have been a perplexing site in 1925, when Calvin Coolidge took his second oath of office. That's because he was sworn in by former President William Howard Taft. That's the only time that has ever happened. Why, you ask? Because after Taft was defeated for reelection as President, he was later appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court, and served as Chief Justice. So, one of America's most rotund politicians also got to serve in two of the fattest jobs in the land: President, and Chief Justice. Not a bad career! By the way, Taft is the only other President buried at Arlington National Cemetery, besides John F. Kennedy.
Thanks for Being There, Dad! – President Calvin Coolidge also makes the trivia books for his first inaugural. He is the only President to be sworn in by his father. Coolidge, who became President upon the death of Warren Harding, was traveling in Vermont at the time. His dad, who happened to be a notary public, delivered the oath of office.
Thanks for Being There, Ma'am…I mean Judge! – Women's roles in the inaugural – as in many walks of life – were scant in the nation's early history. In fact, it wasn't until 1917 and Woodrow Wilson's second inauguration, that women were allowed to march in the parade. Years later, one woman performed a critical task in launching a presidency. U.S. District Judge Sarah Hughes delivered the oath of office to Lyndon Johnson in Dallas after the Kennedy assassination. To date, he remains the only President sworn in by a woman. Pretty soon I think we'll be adding another trivia question: Who was the first female president sworn in by a man? Could it be 2016?
Media Matters! – The first presidential inauguration to be photographed was James Buchanan's. The first to have his recorded on film was William McKinley. The first have his oath broadcast on radio was Calvin Coolidge. The first to be televised was Harry Truman's, and the first to be streamed live on the Internet was Bill Clinton's second inaugural. Will Barack Obama be the first to "tweet" the Oath of Office on Twitter? Stay tuned!
We Shall Overcome! – It is fitting that Abraham Lincoln was the first President to allow African-Americans to participate in the parade. This year, President Obama – the nation's first African American President – will have his second inaugural ceremony on the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday.
His Sunny Optimism! – Ronald Reagan's charm, sunny optimism and warm personality endeared him to political friend and foe, alike. Even some of his most ardent detractors personally loved him. So, it's probably appropriate that Reagan had the warmest weather on record for his first inaugural (55 degrees in 1980), and also the coldest for his second (7 degrees in 1985). It was so cold; in fact, they moved the ceremony inside the Capitol!
Hey, the Constitution Says, January 20th? – There might be some confusion this year, since the Constitution mandates the swearing in takes place on January 20th. Well, that will in fact happen today, but in private. The public inauguration ceremonies on Monday are just that, ceremonial. Oddly enough, they may have done this because of football, although no one is saying (the Constitution has no prohibition for Sunday inaugurals). In 1985, Ronald Reagan's second inaugural was the same day as the Super Bowl Sunday, so, as with this year, the swearing in was private with the public ceremony Monday. With the NFC and AFC Championships today, the inauguration ceremony might have gotten short shrift. By the way, in 1985 Reagan did the Super Bowl coin toss via satellite from the White House, on January 20, after his private swearing-in ceremony.

Interesting and informative, I love obscure facts and trivia on our history. Good Job Mark!!
I also suppect this is one article you wrote that wont turn in to a hubbub of derogatory arguments lol.


text:
It looks like Mel Gibson has finally had it with people secretly recording his private tirades in his own home. Sources close to the embattled star say he is seriously considering taking his latest nemesis, Joe Eszterhas, to court for releasing a tape of his latest outburst.
The star's legal team is checking Costa Rican law to determine if the secret recording of the star's outburst inside his own home is a legal violation of his right to privacy. Mel Gibson believes the recording is a violation of his "basic human right" to not be subject to secret recordings made in his own house.
Everyone obviously recalls the recent tape recording in which Mel Gibson shouted obscenities at Joe and ranted at his ex, Oksana Grigorieva. Mel allegedly shouting derogatory comments against Jews and John Lennon could not be heard on the tapes released.

Parenting Tips
Parents of young children know it best; there really are only so many hours in a day and often it's just not enough. From carpools to bath time, our schedules are jam-packed full of errands, chores, and to-do list items. There never seems to be enough time to just sit and enjoy our children's childhood.
In addition to our full schedules, many of us juggle feelings of guilt for not participating in our child's early experiences and learning as much as we'd like to. But, with a little forethought and creativity, we can turn even the most mundane tasks into fun learning activities to share with our children.

- We spent our first entire year at our new Grey Havens cottage, experiencing every season. It no longer feels like we are visiting. It feels like home!
- In January, I started a new consulting job with my former employer and put my retirement status on hold. The work continued throughout the year, and it will finally come to a close in a few more months. It has seriously impacted my free time, but the unexpected income has provided us a welcomed financial cushion in these difficult economic times.
- We had several snowfalls early in the year, giving us an opportunity to photograph the cheerful birds that visited our bird feeders and our lovely neighborhood shrouded in a white cloak.
- Our cottage welcomed the completion of some landscaping projects in the spring. We continued to spot deer and other wildlife as they venture into our yard from the adjacent woodlands.
- In April, we explored national parks and other scenic areas in north-central New Mexico. We saw incredible vistas like the one shown above at Tent Rocks National Park.
- During the month of May, we bit the Apple and switched over from old PC computers to new iMacs. Though the transition took a little adjustment (you know what they say about old dogs and new tricks), we haven't experienced a single computer system problem since then.
- My photo editing skills continued to improve during the year. We added Nik Complete software to our arsenal of digital processing tools. I also started to feature larger-sized images on my blog, linked to my flickr account.
- My blog celebrated its 3-year anniversary, 500th post, and 600th post. Though I worked, my wee blog ended the year with an all-time high of posts. Numerous series about our travels and participation in the photo challenge contributed to this prolific achievement. I also featured custom blog headers and backgrounds throughout the year!
- In July, we traveled throughout Alaska, photographing astonishing scenery and wildlife for three memorable weeks. It was truly a trip of a lifetime that we will fondly remember. If you followed my blog this year, you got a visual taste of our legendary 49th state.
- In late September and early October, we traveled to the Canadian Maritimes and enjoyed quaint coastal scenery. I'll be featuring photos from that trip later on this year.
- My sweet hubby received a bionic hip this past month and spent three weeks at a rehabilitation facility to assist in his recovery. We celebrated a very low-key Christmas and gave thanks to the miracles of modern medicine.

Regarding my posts on abolishing the FAA, I received this word from an air traffic controller, and am posting it with his permission: "Out of a normal 8 hour work day… maybe at most 4 1/2 hours is actually spent working by ARTCC controllers. The rest is on break. The east and northeast is rabidly unionized with unionization rates above 90%. Already those of us working west of the Mississippi are being told not to reroute or send anyone direct headed east because of workload concerns. Much of this is union politics, party politics, and political grandstanding."
In response to my latest article, a respondent named Paul provided still more context. He says:
It is hard for Rainbowlandians (what I call Americans) to understand that to those countries that we have invaded we are the terrorists. On the day of the Sandy Hook massacre the US killed 69 Pakistani children in a drone strike. Our kids get killed it's a terrorist attack; we kill their kids and it's democracy in action.
That middle sentence is powerful enough to require being repeated. "On the day of the Sandy Hook massacre the US killed 69 Pakistani children in a drone strike." People, they don't hate us for our freedoms. Also, I love the moniker, "Rainbowlandians" as an indicator of a society who not only believes all that "exceptionalism" propaganda but also blissfully ignore the terror bestowed upon others ostensibly in their names.
CORRECTION: There was NOT a drone strike on the same day as Sandy Hook, fortunately. Unfortunately, there was a Pakistan drone strike October 30, 2006, which killed 69 children at a madrassa, i.e., a school connected to a mosque. Just as bad, just not as coincidental. (Thanks, Bill!)

As I write this, a murderer, who is armed and dangerous, is currently on the loose in Denver, after murdering someone last night.
So, shouldn't the whole city be shut down now? Shouldn't the swat team be going house to house threatening every citizen at gunpoint to catch this guy? What's the difference between this fugitive and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev? If you murder a handful of people the city gets shut down? If you murder only one (that we know of), then it's business as usual? Is it just arithmetic?
It's not the math, of course. When I was a kid, I remember my father installing new window locks in my bedroom because Richard Ramirez (The Night Stalker) was on the loose in our town. By then, Ramirez had already murdered at least 8 or 9 people and raped 10 people or so. Most of them were strangers to Ramirez, so we were all at risk.
It didn't even occur to us that the police should go door to door forcing everyone out of their homes at gunpoint. But then again, Americans then were not a bunch of hysterical sheep craving government violation of all their rights in the name of safety.
In the end, the cops didn't even catch Ramirez of course. An angry mob chased him down and nearly beat him to death before the cops showed up.
GE, which has had a hand in millions of civilian deaths through its Pentagon contracts, will no longer loan money to gun shops. (Thanks to Travis Holte)
As far back as May 8, 2009, Tom Englehardt (in an LRC article) mentioned reports that drones in Pakistan had killed "hundreds of bystanders". (I haven't searched for the earliest such reports.) By October, 2012, a 36-page study appeared out of Columbia Law School, and I believe it was not the first. Analysts for quite some time had begun saying that drone strikes created more terrorists than they killed, and that the people being targeted were not "high" terrorist figures. There was also a great deal of criticism of second strikes on funerals for the people killed. But drone policy was Obama's baby, and he favored it. Despite the counter-productiveness of drone strikes to achieve the empire's aims, now channeled through Obama, he continued these strikes. If he felt he could not back down, retreat, or show softness in his goal of dominating the politics of the regions being droned, and if he had nothing to put in its place to achieve this aim, then he decided to accept the accompanying costs of creating terrorists. The Boston Marathon bombing is one of those acceptable costs, although I am certain he wishes the FBI had not messed this one up royally.
The adminstration of Obama wants the maximum capacity to use drones without accountability. It doesn't want anyone second-guessing its policies, and that includes Congress. Congress is a flabby and slow contender in the making and control over policy anyway.
The Columbia report complains about the "limited public debate on drones". That's because academics ignore most everything except what other academics say. They're not reading press accounts, or LRC, or Englehardt, or they're not giving much weight, say, even to a former CIA employee who criticizes the drone policy. Most academics don't get ahead except by massaging lots of data, and so we find them complaining that "hard facts" and "information that ought to be provided by the U.S. government" are not being provided. This is called "stonewalling" or "secrecy". It's any government's method of doing what it wishes to do without being constrained by widespread public knowledge of its base activities.
The U.S. government can stand LRC critics and quite a few others because so few Americans are paying attention, and when they do pay attention, they literally do not know whether they should believe what they are reading because their firmly-anchored belief is that the government is not only the authority but also "good" authority. This belief is part of a belief and value system that has been inculcated in them for years. Adults have to go through a period of years to root out such a system, and most people don't do this.
The U.S. government even welcomes a certain amount of criticism as evidence that the government is open, that there is public debate, that this is a viable free-speech democracy, and that the government's policies have been legitimized via this "open" debate. But since the government controls the flow of information to most of a big corporate media that cannot and does not put up any serious criticism, the government need not worry about critics. In addition, it can find and pay off, albeit indirectly, countless academics, columnists and commentators, who have no personal interest in being radical and a great interest in being loyal Americans who spout the ever-shifting party lines. More accurately, the standard analyses that never doubt the goodness of the State and Empire are like a river of Empire flowing between two banks, which are Left and Right. Almost everything that the public hears from first grade onwards is channeled between these two banks. This provides an illusion of a free country, just as the banks provide an illusion of a freely-flowing river.
Now, at least 5 years after drone criticism has begun, the Senate Judiciary Committee has a hearing in which a man from Yemen tells them face to face what the effects of the drone policy are on making Yemenis anti-American. This slowness in responding to events on the ground is intentional on the part of Congressional leaders. They only address an issue when, for whatever reasons that are in their interest, they calculate the time is right. Then they schedule hearings and then they invite hand-picked witnesses. Any concern about the loss of innocent lives of foreigners or the retaliation on American soil only enters their calculations indirectly. Power and position are #1, and lives factor in secondarily only insofar as they affect power and position. An extreme cynicism, if you will, is called for in assessing these matters, if only to counteract the programming that most Americans have undergone. However, one need only ask why it has taken so long to address this drone issue, even to the limited extent of holding a hearing? And what does Senator Dick Durbin, who chairs the committee, stand to gain from having this hearing at this time?
It may be that Durbin's political antenna has picked up some possible gains to his power and position by gingerly moving toward a position that, while not anti-drone, advocates more, as he put it in May, "checks and balances". He also seems carefully to be stepping toward a more anti-war position. He said in May
"From a constitutional viewpoint, it goes to this authorization for the use of military force. I don't believe many, if any, of us believed when we voted for that – and I did vote for it – that we were voting for the longest war in the history of the United States and putting a stamp of approval on a war policy against terrorism that, 10 years plus later, we're still using."
I will venture to say that Durbin will remain solidly within the river banks. He may tack his boat a little more in an anti-war direction, but since both the left and right banks have for decades now been heavily mired in a pro-war fog, that direction may be beneath the river's surface. Perhaps he should capsize his boat. In the end, he will if he succeeds gain some points for himself while not altering the Empire by any significant amount.
The Empire flows on.
In a gentlemanly debate at American University, Justin demolishes his opponent, Jonathan Rauch. Advice: start at 8:00.
Someone identified as Bob S. sent an email reminding me that Boston has been a major funding source of the Provisional IRA for many years, and the weapon of choice for the IRA was the bomb. During the past four decades, numerous people, including many innocent bystanders, were killed by these weapons.
(I add that I do not and have not supported British policies during that time, and that the Ulster Protestant Volunteers also set off bombs that killed people. Many people on both sides have justified these attacks as being legitimate tactics of war, but I for one disagree and say a pox on both their houses.)
My larger point is this: When people see the killing of innocents as being simple "collateral damage" in the process of a "greater good," they are more likely to engage in the kind of activity that ultimately can come back upon them. Bostonians are rightly outraged at the bombing at the Marathon, but they were willing to send millions of dollars to people who used the same weapons elsewhere, with the same horrible results.
Today, at least according to the official narrative, two Muslim brothers outraged at what U.S. Armed Forces and the CIA are doing in Muslim countries abroad (and all of us should be outraged at U.S. policies there), do essentially the same thing that the IRA and other paramilitary groups have done: set off bombs to kill others and send a message to everyone else. Many Bostonians have believed that the same actions done in Northern Ireland and Great Britain were legitimate, and they were willing to help fund them, even if that meant innocent bystanders were killed or maimed; now Boston's most visible sporting event has been violated and people ask why it happened and quickly condemn it, but they refuse to see the larger picture.
Wilt Alston in his LRC piece today identifies that "terrorist" attacks often have involved people who could not defeat their occupiers via conventional military means, so they turned to something else. His point, I believe, is correct and for years, the IRA said it was fighting against British occupation of Northern Ireland (not to mention that the Irish have long memories of the past British occupation of the rest of the Emerald Isle as well).
Yet, if that argument were used to legitimize politically the bombs of the IRA, then domestic attacks by Muslims against the country that either bombs or occupies Muslim nations would have to be seen in that same category. People cannot have this both ways. We cannot wash the blood off our hands by using the blood of innocents.
I have written often on the silliness of the whole cupcake craze that has swept America in recent years. My earliest cupcake-bashing post goes back to 2009.
Finally, folks are declaring that the cupcake craze was indeed a bubble and it was indeed ludicrous. Yahoo writes, "More Evidence That the Gourmet Cupcake Bubble Has Popped." Forbes writes, "RIP Cupcakes, Long Live Juice Cleanses? Inside the Fickle Food Trend Bubble." An NPR story asks, "Has the Cupcake Bubble Finally Popped?" And finally, the Wall Street Journal wrote, "Forget Gold, the Gourmet-Cupcake Market is Crashing."
In January 2011, I wrote about the announcement that Crumbs Bake Shop was going public via a $66M merger. I mentioned that the stock was a terrific target for a short sell. I was then attacked by cupcake-loving readers who were upset that I would cast aspersions on an industry that was representative of the free market, free choice, and non-coercion. However, there's a major distinction between (1) criticizing a trend or fad for its underlying cultural-financial inanities and (2) calling for government intervention to coerce peaceful people during the course of their voluntary transactions. I never did the latter, so why all of the outrage? The stock for Crumbs Bake Shop nows sits at just above $1/share.
I said the trend wasn't based on real wealth, but instead, the inane obsession with cupcakes was born out of credit expansion and artifically low interest rates. The cupcake craze has been a great example of malinvestment - too many people with too much credit spending too much money building up and/or expanding businesses based in faddish fixations that appeared, to them, to be prime investments. Thus small cupcake bakeries became booming businesses with hordes of consumers trying to become a part of the latest trend that was made popular by such cultural icons as "Sex in the City." Cupcakes became the "hot" item for all of the wannabee consumers who had a need to fit in with the latest cultural rage. Therefore, the $5 cupcake became a statement of fashion. As Joe Queenan once wrote, America has had a "fawning subservience to the cupcake."
However, the one thing all the media stories are missing on this issue is that this cupcake craze was one of many puerile trends that came about as a result of cultural changes spurred on by the boom-bubble-bust economic period. Dumbed-down, adult America became infatuated with cupcakes. The more outlandish and childish, the better. And then, stimulus policies, along with the Federal Reserve's fight to keep credit cheap and money plentiful, kept skewing the market and distorting time preferences, making even the ridiculous seem profitable and real. Adults developed a strange obsession with enormous, sugar-laden, pricey mounds of sweets all dressed up in toppings and flavors suitable for the most discriminating 5-year-olds.
And now, the cupcake investors are the latest laughingstock of the financial world. Seeking Alpha put together a fantastic financial obituary of Crumbs Bake Shop for your reading pleasure. Except when challenged with the question, "What went wrong," the author notes:
Based on the pricing, Crumbs has no reason not to be successful. Following a sampling of several cupcake stores in the Washington, DC area, Crumbs cupcakes appear to be the least expensive, and the shareable "signature size" cupcakes offer very good value. Reviews on Yelp seem relatively good, and the cupcakes are tasty (in my opinion, at least). Perhaps cupcakes have just been a fad and is now in secular decline? I have little hard evidence for or against this, but let's take a look at the Google search trends for Crumbs and its two most famous competitors: Sprinkles and Georgetown Cupcakes.
The cupcake boom-bust has little to do with pricing strategies, perceived value, Yelp reviews, taste, or pure fads. These people who address these market quirks just don't understand basic economics, including business cycles and economic intervention on the part of government and it's monetary-banking sector.
With all things considered, the cupcake novelty has worn off, so get over it people. Thanks to the many wonderful readers who sent me these articles.
In a recent post, I made the statement that the FAA should be abolished. An air traffic controller (a good guy--he reads Mises) wrote to say that he doesn't see how it could be done since air traffic is a true monopoly. I don't either, but some smarter men than I have some ideas, like in this recent post by Dan Mitchell that I highly recommend.
. . . to be able to prevent such terrorist acts." This is the song-and-dance that always come from the political establishment. These people imagine that all that is needed to achieve any desirable end is more information about more people. It is an illusion shared by those who have yet to learn the basic lesson from the study of chaos: other than in a very short time-frame (e.g., forecasting tomorrow's weather) it is impossible to predict outcomes in complex systems. The capacity to predict requires a "sensitive dependence on initial conditions," which translates into having precise knowledge of all factors that can influence outcomes. Contrary to Plato's vision, there are simply too many (and constantly changing) variables at work within any society of human beings to be able to identify and assess their impacts. But as vertically-structured systems depend upon illusions to the contrary, the philosopher-kings - along with the philosopher-kings-in-waiting - will continue promoting their repressive and invasive schemes in search of magical ways of circumventing the inherent uncertainties arising from complexities.
John Lofton's exchange with a cashier lady at a local bookstore when buying a newspaper:
ME (gesturing toward "Thank A Soldier" items): "What should I thank them for?"
LADY (after slight pause): "For protecting you."
ME: "Are they REALLY doing that? Or are they putting me in greater danger because of the unGodly, unConstitutional wars they are waging."
LADY: "That's the government's doing."
ME: "But I thought the soldiers work for the government."
LADY: "They are just doing what the government tells them to do."
ME: "The Nazis at Nuremberg tried that only-following-orders defense and they were hung by the neck until dead."
LADY: "My son is in the military and I looked at one of his ID cards and it said he is the property of the US government." She shrugs as if to say, "Ain't that something?"

Rubbish and recycling
"No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set."
The Bookseller
Tremendous visual appeal of a quality that is unmatched by other early reading series. No Key Stage 1 classroom should be without the whole set.
The Bookseller
The Usborne Beginners and Young Readers series are increasingly being recognized and celebrated as having both the production values, content, and visual and commercial appeal demanded by the home market, and also the clear structure supporting children's reading development that is desired by schools. In my opinion, the Usborne Beginners and Young Readers series are by far the most appealing and comprehensive reading development supports available, now offering a vast range of subjects.
The Bookseller
An excellent series. Carefully designed to appeal to early readers, the books have accessible vocabulary and easy reading text, clear pictures, a contents page, index and glossary - all excellent for helping children to learn to use books for research. Short chunks of text and plenty of pictures make these books really fun to read.
Parents in Touch
Rubbish and Recycling by Stephanie Turnbull describes and illustrates what happens to the rubbish that we throw away. The book is informative and uses a mixture of text, photographs and illustrations; some of which provide a humorous but nonetheless factual element to the text. The book provides a lot of information that could be used in discussions, and as a resource for specific topic-based activity.

Rubbish and Recycling
My son is currently learning all about recycling. This book has been a tremendous addition to his learning and he has even brought it into school for everyone to see. Colourful pictures and diagrams and easy to understand text make this book ideal for the young (and old!).
Sian Cole, 8th March 2009
Rubbish and Recycling
My son's not quite four yet but he is always asking questions about where waste water goes and what happens to the rubbish that goes into the dustcart. Although this was meant to be a young reader's book, I found it equally valuable to read to him to explain everything he wanted to know in a straightforward and well-illustrated way and to introduce some new ideas like recycling. It may not be a glamorous topic, but it has been an enjoyable read together!

As Palo Alto ramps up efforts to teach special-needs children in mainstream classrooms, campuses across town marked the second annual "Inclusive Schools Week" to talk about how to behave around people with differences.

I especially like the activities. Children learn better by doing something concrete and it looks like the schools embraced this. The sentiment on the Walter Hays flyer is something everyone should take to heart.

Middle schools & high schools participated.
Posted by Walter Hays Dad, a resident of the Duveneck/St. Francis neighborhood, on Dec 10, 2012 at 2:38 pm
I think Walter Hays did a great job. I attended the talks given at the parent night, and was happy with the turnout by both parents of special needs children and parents of normative children. It was wonderful to hear the normative parents talk through how they should teach their children about inclusion and helping their classmates with apparent and/or hidden disabilities.
I do want to take issue with one item. As quoted in the story, one child wrote "Be a good friend to people who don't know English." While I laud this sentiment, it was not in fact that sentiment meant to be broadcast by Inclusive Schools week. Inclusive Schools week was to focus on special needs children, and how to include them (especially those with social handicaps) in the regular classroom and on the playground. These special needs kids deserve friends too and often do not have the skills and abilities to converse with normative classmates.
Nonetheless, I would like this child's sentiment to be addressed. Just because our schools and communities are diverse, does not mean that they are inclusive. I suppose that one could stretch the definition of disability to include race and language issues, but please not for this week (unless such analogy is needed to help a child understand what a child with a learning disability feels like).
I guess, other differences can be discussed in other weeks. For learning disabilities, I would like this week to be kept for learing disabilities.
